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!

[It seems as though a new arrival has attracted the locals' attention; there's a large crowd of them grouped in one of the roads. If you were planning on getting through, you may want to re-evaluate your options...

The source of this attention is a rather ordinary-looking young girl. She seems to have a practiced ease with dealing with crowds, but she's attempting to slowly inch out all the same. She never asked for this ability, and the shock of a new place (as cute as this district was) is hurting her ability to control her Eye-Captivating powers.]

[dontreallycare]

[Kenma's hanging around the edges of the crowd, part of him curious why they are gathered there and part of him wanting to move away from such a large number of people. So his compromise to stay a small distance away but to keep an eye on it, while pretending he's busy with his phone.

When a girl pushes her way through the crowd, he couldn't help but stare at her.]

[alleyesonme]

[At long last -- she's free of that crowd. Momo pauses to pull her hood up as the crowd stirs in dismay and confusion.

Her eye catches Kenma's though, and she freezes. Wait, no, she just has to actual natural. But the crowd-- she tightens her grip on her hood and smiles. It's an act, but shouldn't be too noticeable. She's had practice after all.

She scoots by him and into the shadows of one of the fluffy houses, peeking out every so often to look at the crowd and at him. She does want to talk, because maybe he could help her find her friends, but on the other hand there's the crowd.]

[dontreallycare]

[Judging by the looks she's giving the crowd, Kenma can tell she doesn't want to draw their attention. He figures he should leave her alone too (after all, he knows what it's like to be bothered when you just want to be alone) but there's something about her...

He glances over at the people gathered, who seemed to have noticed that the source drawing their attention is gone. It would probably be a good idea for her to leave the area entirely before they start looking for her.

He sighs, then puts his phone away in his bag before walking over to her slowly. When he gets to her, instead of talking to her normally he just simply says:]

Come on.

[and walks away, through the empty alleyway. There's a park nearby that he passed earlier that was relatively empty.]

[alleyesonme]

[Momo hesitates - don't talk to strangers, right? But Kido had been a stranger, too, and she had helped her before - then follows Kenma quickly. Her footsteps even out the further they get from the rambunctious dispersing crowd, and she sighs in relief.

Her nervousness starts up again when she tries to speak.]

U-Um--! Th-thank you very much, Stranger-san!
