a welcome;

[mallowmods]

Who: Everyone and everyone!
What: Welcoming in the new members to Mallow Hallow
Where: Everywhere!
When: March 2nd.

[ Once everyone’s settled in their particular districts, no doubt thousands of questions running between each individual mind, there’s an announcement. Not over the devices, but rather in speakers all over each and every district. A familiar voice should ring out—you did, after all, hear the voice of your Queen earlier today. ]

Ahem! Can you hear me? Ah, right then.

Hello loveies! You might recall this particular visage which speaks before you—that is, I am your Queen. Call me Queenie, if you must! I’ve met you all on this particular day, and I find it important to bestow some of my boundless knowledge onto you, sweethearts.

Now! Done with formalities, let’s see where we stand… ah, yes! Might I be the first to welcome you all to Mallow Hallow, our wonderful little country. Not too big, not quite too small either! It’s just lovely, isn’t it? Oh, how all my new babies will love it here! Or—perhaps not. [ She clicks her tongue. ] Either way, it doesn't really matter. You're stuck here for the time, so do try to make the most of it, dears.

Of course, there are our sectors within Mallow Hallow. Six… [ There’s silence for a short moment. ] Yes, there are six, aren’t there..? Well, six different communities you might stem off from! Surely you remember the name from our meeting earlier? If not, I’m sure one of the regular inhabitants of each particular district will assist you in naming your new home!

Live where you’d like, eat what you’d like, do what you’d like! Our homes are now your homes, so please, consider us all a big happy family to you! Remember you can reach me or any of the other rulers of any of the districts, over at our voicemails! [ Somehow, that seems sarcastic… ]

Also, don’t cause any trouble, or I’ll personally end you. [ There it is. ]

I suppose that's all. Well then, bye now, dears! And let the word spread—Mallow Hallow is up and rising once again!

[She happened to bump into this other pink-haired girl, actually! This pink-haired girl with an Ambipom hanging on her back, to be exact.

While she would have asked Madoka to watch out and try to not bump into other people, Whitney... notices how confused she looks, and is actually concerned, since wow, she doesn't look okay at all.]

Hey! What's wrong? Are you okay?

[Ambipom, for her part, responds by leaning forward off of Whitney's shoulder to get a better look at Madoka, and chattering a bit in Ambipom language.]

[greatestwish]

[ Madoka stumbles back, but has enough balance to stay on her feet even after she's been knocked over. Still, her face is the mask of confusion when she looks at the other girl. The fact that there's a... monkey-like creature hanging onto the girl's back and chattering like that, doesn't help her clear her nervousness. For a moment, she has a chill, thinking that it's some kind of witch's familiar... except the girl doesn't look like a Witch at all. That quickly dawns on her, and she makes an attempt to calm down. ]

I... I d-don't know...

[ Why did this have to happen? What have I done wrong?! ]

[Okay, yeah, that is definitely not the reaction she expected, and it's pretty clear that the girl isn't okay. Maybe she's just disoriented from showing up here suddenly and hearing she can't leave. That's a reasonable explanation, right?

Either way, Whitney reaches out and gently places a hand on Madoka's shoulder, both to try and calm her down and to make sure she can catch her if she falls over or something. She doesn't know Madoka? That doesn't matter right now.]

Maybe you should sit down for a bit. That might help, right?

[greatestwish]

[ The touch doesn't settle her down that much, but... she struggles not to cry in front of another person. She's gone so far, became strong thanks to her best friend - she can't throw everything away by crying. She frees a hand from the gem and rushes to wipe at her eyes. ]

Sorry... y-you're right, maybe I need to sit down... s-sorry for overreacting.

It's fine, it's fine! You don't have to worry about it!

[It was the first genuinely upset reaction she's seen here, but it's understandable, really. And what's more important is making sure she calms down and all that.]

My name's Whitney, by the way, and this is Ambipom! What's yours?
