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's nice to meet you too.

[ he's jumping higher and higher for a big move ]

[denarius]

[ He does what he wants, you ain't my dad. ]

What.

[ Silver's own response is no less grateful as he turns to shoot Green a glare. ]

[darkhourdear]

Pharos smiles a little, reaching over to take some more pillows and feeling them, adding them to pile.

[blueeyedflyboy]

This is after he figured out that I wasn't you. I think we'd established that quite well by then.

_{[He's still a bit twitchy over that]}

[genitrix]

I'll have to do+ so+me research.
So+mething tells me yo+ur pillo+wfight schematic is ro+o+ted in a patriarchal traditio+n that o+bjectifies wo+men, ho+wever fun it so+unds.
Maybe we can jo+in cultures to create a new traditio+n that do+esn't shame wo+men fo+r participating tho+se kinds o+f activities but also+ refo+rms patriarchal no+rms.
...So+rry, that go+t a bit lo+ng-winded.

[foolsaround]

Hey, don't worry about Reid. He's a good guy. We're best friends.

[And then she just gives her a weird look.]

I'm weird...? You're delusional. There are no real Pokemon.

[Or maybe it is possible. What the hell did she know about this place anyways...]

[garwin]

[He shrugs a little.]

I guess.

Like you're not a good man, though? [Because he's really got the impression that you are, Balfour.]

[pocketed]

Well I guess animals would be like--

[ No actually Taiga can't explain this one. Now she just gets mad. ] Ahhh, forget it! You're too backwards for me!

Why am I explaining myself anyway? You're the one who's weird, and here I am trying to explain things to you!

[dontreallycare]

[This time he's sure the cat is talking. What more, it's talking to him.]

...No, I haven't seen anyone like that.

[Don't mind if he stares; talking cats are a pretty rare sight where he's from.]

[numen]

[ While Amaterasu is interested in Meganium, she's also interested in food. So, she carefully takes the berry. Her lips might touch Lyra's hand, but her teeth certainly don't! Also, sweet was apparently the right choice by the way her tail continues to wag and the way her ears rotate forward, showing the pink. Yes, sweet is good!

As for the Meganium... after eating the berry, Amaterasu similarly stretches her head out, sniffing politely. A soothing aroma, huh? She can see how that would be a useful thing - her peace bell does something similar but with sound! Interesting, though, very interesting. Almost like a brush god in its own right, perhaps?

Hard to say. But even if she doesn't fully understand, she can sorta grasp the significance of "grass-type" - not that it's that hard when she does have a big flower and vines! So Amaterasu quietly calls up some of her own power, causing a small cluster of flowers to grow and bloom between her and the Pokemon, though they do fade after a moment. Consider it a sort of plant hello. ]

[methemystery]

[Sissel looks disappointed. Everyone he knows is pretty hard to miss.]

No one strange?

[dontreallycare]

[You mean stranger than a talking cat, right? Instead of saying that though, he opts for something a little less rude.]

Everything here is pretty weird to me, actually, so I'm not sure I know anything that'll help you. Sorry.

[cinemaventurer]

My friend Roxy!
Why if I didn't know any better I would say you were her sister...and...

[And then Jake takes a moment to remember he actually has met, or at least seen Rose before, he just couldn't remember all the details so quickly because Aranea's short skirt, and that fight with Meenah, is a distracting mental image.]

I'm a complete and utter boneheaded moron. I saw you before with Aranea and the other trolls. I can't believe I forgot such choice information about that encounter.

[idkmybffjaden]

[He halts in his tracks when he hears someone call his name, and as he turns to catch sight of Kairi moving towards him, a wave of relief hits him so hard he feels breathless for a moment. For some reason, just seeing her makes him feel a little less despondent. Sure, he may hardly know her, but at the same time, hers is a familiar face, and that's more than he can say for any of the other faces in the sea of people moving around him.]

Well, howdy! [Once again, his smile grows a bit more genuine as he faces her.] Didn't reckon I'd be seeing you again so soon. How you holdin' up?

[on_thin_ice]

Well, er. I'm ... like a ghost? Sorta?

Don't freak out.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I kind of got that considering he had no problem touching... Erm...

_{[Him? Tyler? Them? Us? How did he refer to what had just happened?]}

Anyway. He didn't actually know me, but he touched me, so obviously he's close to you.

_{[Did that sentence make any sense?]}

[numen]

No need to sound like you'll be the only one.

[ It's a gentle rebuke. It's still amusing to her, that the non-humans are the ones apparently taking care of things. ]

[bohemianrhapsody]

I think that applies to everyone. Or I'm just good at reading people.

[bohemianrhapsody]

[yawns]

I'm too old for that crap.

[mavenofthestrings]

[Oh! You! Sona remembers you from the Fields of Justice! It's good that you can move out of water---Oh, it would seem that you are in trouble. She slowly floats towards Nami and the fairy, then strums a single chord on her etwahl, flinging a slicing note at the fairy as a warning shot. It doesn't hit the fairy, but hopefully she aimed close enough to ward it away.]

[foolsaround]

We're kind of like brothers. All four of us, but Caleb and Pogue aren't here.

[ that sentence sure did make sense ]

[donutrings]

[Uh oh, logic isn't Aoi's strong point.] He wasn't in any of the photos of our class... [But then, neither was anyone to whom each photo had been given. It could have been another trick.]

But that could have been Monobear tricking us again! Two years of our memories were erased, so maybe what he's talking about happened before! [Yup that's gotta be it, no doubts!]

[ text ]

[springskies]

Hmmm I wonder about that! But lets hope so! Good luck "Terios"!

[gamefaqs]

So you do remember me after all. I was afraid any momentary glances in my direction had failed to leave an impression with everything else going on.

[It's not like they had some long, extensive conversation or anything, so she can't blame him for not getting it right away. Them was some distracting company, anyway.]

Could you tell me more about her? Roxy, I mean.
