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!

Usually, yes. That and prior experience.

[chokowaffle]

[Surprising no one else is that helpful.]

Yeah. It's a communication device.

Oshu?

[storywriter]

You're right. [She nods seriously.] I was in the middle of something important before I arrived here... I can't afford to waste time like this.

[chokowaffle]

I have. Two years of it in a dreamworld called Somarium.

[chokowaffle]

It's okay.

It's.... alright. I guess I don't really have an opinion on this place at the moment...

[A distraction would be nice.]

[ikebana]

I can't think of a more appropriate place to nap than a meadow.
My Pokemon seemed to enjoy it as well.
Perhaps if you napped with your Pokemon more often they wouldn't hide from you

[on_thin_ice]

Pretty much. I make sure kids don't get scared. Making winter fun, making winter safe ... that's what I do.

[wavegigs]

[But Demyx was a big chicken. What if the small, creepy child wanted to hurt him?]

Uh, it's Demyx. Why?

[Yeah, his social skills were kind of lacking. How long had it been since he'd had a normal conversation with someone? A long time.]

[unluckystray]

Of course it isn't.

[coloneltrololol]

[Jade observes Oliver in action for a moment before sauntering over.]

I don't suppose you're trying to get a better view?

[unluckystray]

I guess so.

I wouldn't doubt that.

[unluckystray]

[Just shrugging.]

Only if you want to.

[He's not that concerned either.]

[bohemianrhapsody]

Me? I'm easy.

[wavegigs]

[Ohgod. The best part of his attempt to creep along stealthily, was that he didn't even notice anyone around at first. He could be pretty oblivious sometimes. Like now. He stopped to peer cautiously around the side of a building, had enough sense to also look around and behind him, and had to do a double take before noticing anything odd.

But! Rather than ask this girl what she was doing, he just...continued to creep around the side of the building, except now he kept glancing behind him every few steps.]

[Give her a moment.... Real Pokemon.... That's absurd.]

Pokemon aren't real.

[Sorry Grimsley... She's pretty blunt.]

( video )

[always_running]

[Ok, What the hell? Give her a moment.]

.... Pokemon aren't real.

[Obviously they are here, Alice.]

[threateningflour]

[arcs his eyebrows]

Like a cat with nine lives.

[wagasas]

[have some sheepish laughter, because he's honestly not sure about the way this kid is talking...]

Fairies? But ah-- where I am doesn't seem so bad?

[mizukagami]

[He nods in agreement and folds his arms]

Hm, it would probably be wise to be prepared for danger regardless, especially as this isn't a familiar world, no da. Probably best to expect the unexpected, especially with such threats, no da.

[always_running]

[Not why she reacted, but that works.]

Ah... Wait a minute! You-

You can't be real.

[Don't mind her, Green.]

[renegadewreck]

[Oh gosh, suddenly, pillows! Which also means this is time for a ninja dodge, which is more like tripping and sprawling across the ground. Definitely not his most graceful moment, but hey, he tried. He gets clumsy when he's nervous. At least he managed to avoid getting buried. Mostly. He'll just squirm his way out from under whatever pillows ended up falling on him, and then get to his feet.

When he turns back towards the pile, he realizes there's someone under there. His first instinct is to help, so he goes over to grab onto their hand and try to pull them out. He's small, but he's strong.]

Oh gosh, are you alright?

[Larry, meet Alice xD]

No it's not! Why would you--

[Wait.... Alec isn't here... She's not at that damn place that she hates. There's no stupid snobby stuck up kids she goes to school with.]

[always_running]

Holy crap! It is a vacation!

[Although, she would be better with Clar here too.]

[prosecutory]

[He stops when he's in front of her, a respectable, I-respect-your-personal-space-but-we-need-to-talk distance.]

You are likewise new here, correct?

[always_running]

All of this is ridiculous...
