Video | welcome, hallo, buenos días, ohayō, etc, etc! | UN: Newt

[groupiedrifter]

[Newt comes shuffling into view on the screen, holding a cup of coffee in his hand with a bag of what seems to be Sour Patch Kids harrowingly hanging out from beneath the pinky finger of the very same hand. Disheveled but more than happy to provide his services after dragging himself out of bed, he taps his knuckle on the chalkboard beside him — one that used to be Hermann Gottlieb's, may he rest in peace (in a not dead way — may he rest in peace on a beach or something while wholly alive and thriving).]

Noticed an influx of new and kinda-new faces over the last few days or weeks or whatever.

So here's my handy dandy welcome board! Recently updated, to keep with the times.

Read it over and get a feel for how this place goes; I'm gonna finish off this coffee before I take any questions.

[As he takes the world's most obnoxious-sounding sip and burns his tongue, here's the board in question:]



[And then, after a bit of time, he turns the board over to the other side:]



[No worries, current crew, if you can't get one of those introduction papers in person!

Because he's attached them in file format, too.]

[edraith]

I can, yes. It is something my mother can do, and the power lies in my blood.

[eyeronically]

oh, it's like an innate thing already.

( BUMMER )

so, how come you don't know how to if you have the power to? do you have to, like, activate it?

[edraith]

To be truthful, I do not know! I have never tried to see the future, for I never had reason to... and now that I think I might, I do not seem to be able to do it on command. If I could ask my mother, perhaps she could explain it, but...

[eyeronically]

so, you can do it another way? since you said you can't on command. maybe you can figure out a trigger.

[edraith]

That is exactly my thoughts! Perhaps, if something serious enough happens, or is about to happen, I might be able to see it, or glimpses of it.

[eyeronically]

that'd suck to have to keep waiting for something serious to happen to get it to work, though.
