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

[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.]

[If he had to be honest? That the way the team operated was largely by vote, and that sometimes you simply had to accept leaving people to suffer, because there's little room to go off on your own with things if you disagree with the opinion that takes the majority.

That's a bit too heavy for a casual conversation, though, especially over the network, so he ... pivots off to the left a little.]


if you get souvenirs on other planets, be sure to hang onto them when it's time for us to go
once anyone touches the orb we all teleport back immediately
you don't want to waste your money!


[This is also, perhaps, a sideways method of suggesting that one get everything they consider important in order before it's time for someone to touch the orb without getting too serious about it.]
