[video] a ridiculous mission-related post | un: newt
Hey, hey! Guys, can you do me a favor, and tell me what I'm looking at?
[Huh, that's a weird request. But if you check in to look at... whatever the heck Newt's looking at, you'll find that he's currently standing in the middle of one of the captain's cabins in The Hawking. They're (thank god) not in the cabin to catch him, and the people looking at the video (which is through Newt's eyes, cool) may note that it's full of books and historical documents, enough that the small beds in the corner of the room are practically buried in it.
(Hey! Minimus will notice a stack of books catalogued to the side that he'd helped collect.)
Newt seems a little clumsy, bumping into some books and maps, knocking them down by accident. Is he drunk?* No, he doesn't sound drunk. From the looks of it, you'd think he had lost his glasses**. He clumsily unrolls some maps, squinting hard at them, trying to make them come into proper form. The map he has open is as follows:]
Most of the maps illustrate Hhial's different countries, with great detail of the terrain and landscape of Kellir, Muchter, and Zefindam. There is a map or two of the distant islands around the surrounding area, many with black marked X's crossed over certain islands, and of course, a map with the different routes drawn out to get to the Golden Haven. One map depicts the greater part of this world with all of Hhial included and calligraphic script written on the bottom left-hand corner that reads:
When the sky bleeds red, hoist the sails due east. A key of gold awaits.
(quoted from search request, located here.)
[Newt taps his finger on the map urgently.]
You guys see anything useful? Yes, no? Hot, cold? Ugh, why, at a time like this — Hey, this is a great time to talk about my worst quality! Personal goal stuff, kill two birds with one stone, you know? My worst trait is stumbling into really stupid situations! Totally my worst and only bad trait.
[Some more hurried scuffling around the room; there are also 'a few accessories, trinkets, and tools on their shared desk. It's in the kind of disarray that seems chaotic from an outside perspective but likely has meaning and order to the captains that occupy this room.' Newt, someone anxious, pats around the desk for anything interesting. It's really weird to see someone seemingly struggling to see anything clearly when the video is so clear, but that's why he's relying on you guys! You're his eyes! Kinda.
He picks up random objects, eventually getting to one of actual note:
A cracked wax seal with Kellir's emblem pressed into it.
It looks as if someone had scratched it off the backside of an envelope, but there's no sight of any envelope or letter around the desk to match it. Newt seems to squint at the glob of dried wax and the Kellir emblem, and then GASPS—
And tosses the seal away.]
Ugh! What kind of weirdos hoard their gum on top of the desk?
Put it under the desk like a normal person!
[*Newt is currently partially blind due to his regret change. At a most inconvenient time!
**Don't worry, he hasn't lost his glasses again.]

They could do with bathing more often.
[ He knows the word viking because people have used it to describe him before. He assumes it's some group of earth people that look similar to his own. ]
Then you would say I have better flair than they do?
[ Not that it's a competition or anything... ]
no subject
Backwards sitting, like a true rule-breaker.]
Why, would you be totally put-out if I said yeah?
[He gives pause, letting the teasing settle in.]
Heh, I'm kidding! You've got way more flair than them. Also, you know. The bathing thing you mentioned. They could take a few pointers.
no subject
Good to know. Well, I have deposited you safely. Try not to get into any trouble.
[ He's about to head off before adding: ]
And do not walk around on deck until your sight returns. You may just fall overboard.
no subject
I solemnly vow to not leave until I've got 20/20 vision again.
no subject
All right. I'll speak with you later.
