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!

[blueeyedflyboy]

Sounds good to me.

_{[He grins a little more. Good, blue and grey looked good on him, which meant that they'd look good on Tyler, too.]}

Who shoudl we mess with first?

[foolsaround]

Anyone and everyone, man.

Well except Reid.

[blueeyedflyboy]

That sounds good to me.

_{[Oh, so this was that Tyler. Well, he figured as much.]}

[foolsaround]

Have you met him already?

[ he pokes your shoulder teasingly ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

Yeah, I ah...ran into him. Literally. I mean, I thought he was crazy, thinking that I was you but...

_{[Now he gets it. It's like looking into a mirror that shows him a little bit younger. It's scary.]}

[foolsaround]

I wish I could've seen the look on his face when he met you.

[ he really wishes he could have seen it. just the realization that you weren't him and that look of wtf on reid's face ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

He pinched my cheek.

_{[Have an epic lineface. He didn't like that. Not at all.]}

[foolsaround]

Well, how else was he going to make sure it wasn't me?

[ he's giving a goodnatured laugh after that ]

[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]}

[foolsaround]

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

[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?]}

[foolsaround]

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

[ that sentence sure did make sense ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[He nods. Yeah, he sort of got that.]}

I'm just...not accustomed to being touched so casually.

_{[And so innocently. Usually when someone was touching him, it was a threatening hand around his neck or holding his arms behind his back or up to be tied on a shower head.]}

[foolsaround]

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Reid and I are pretty close so we just do the touching thing without even realizing it. But he didn't mean anything bad by it. Seriously.

[ he doesn't want balfour to think that reid just does this to anyone ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

I understand. I'm just not used to it, is all. Don't worry.

<sub>[See, he's smiling!

...barely.]</sub>

[foolsaround]

[ he reaches over to ruffle your hair before he pauses ]

Man, it's weird to do that when we have the same face.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour shies away from the hand instinctively. These past few years had taught him that hands were definitely something to worry about, especially hands suddenly in his bubble.]}

Yeah, I'd imagine.

_{[Have a strained chuckle.]}

It's like looking in a mirror. I feel like I'm going crazy.

[foolsaround]

Maybe we should use nametags?

[ he's half joking. . . half ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

I thought the idea was to confuse as many people as possible! Nametags would just ruin the whole effect!

_{[And he's back to joking.]}

[foolsaround]

But what if we have a time when we don't want to be mistaken for each other.

[blueeyedflyboy]

I suppose we can wear nametags then, but I don't think we'll need them. I'm sure those who count will figure out how to tell us apart in no time.

[foolsaround]

It's not that hard, you're right.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[He laughs a little and shrugs, then lets out a triumphant yell. That. That looks like a clothing store!]}

Hey, look, a store!

_{[And off he goes.]}

[foolsaround]

Nice work!

[ he's following after you. quickly, though. so he doesn't lose you ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[How can you lose this guy? Huh? It's impossible, because if he gets too far ahead, he'll turn back and look at you with that puppy look until you catch up.

See? Puppy look.

Once they get to the door, he swings it open excitedly, and then his face crashes.

What. The hell. Are these? That is not a shirt, that is a pillow.]</sub>
