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!

[ so v. graceful, yes. his own walk is a lot more lazy and a lot less graceful ]

We could use this opportunity to check another district out.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[See, another way to tell them apart already!]}

Exactly. The other districts must have clothing that isn't so... ridiculous.

[foolsaround]

We might as well check. For exploring purposes.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[For exploring purposes. Sure. Meanwhile people are doubletaking as they go past.]}

Exactly. I could use a proper wardrobe anyway, because, aside from what I have on, I sincerely doubt any of my clothing was brought here.

[foolsaround]

Hey, same here. I came here with the clothes off my back and nothing else.

[blueeyedflyboy]

What district are you in?

_{[Please be Mallowhallow. For even more mindfuckery.]}

[foolsaround]

Orlea.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Oh. Well maybe they have clothing there!

_{[That obviously isn't pillows. Having been excited before, Balfour now feels cheated. Pillow clothing. That was just wrong.]}

[foolsaround]

We can go check it out then.

[ the pillow clothing is balls. who would even wear those? ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[See, this is a happy Balfour. He's bouncing down the road, still graceful and elegant, but not quite as 'proper' as his normal walk.]}

Yes, let's go.

_{[He'll be bouncing off down the road now.]}

[foolsaround]

Man, can you sell that walk or what?

[ he's following after you ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour freezes, turning around and looking at Tyler, his head tilting.]}

Pardon?

[foolsaround]

They way you walk is interesting.

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[....are you flirting with him? It sounds like something Niall might have said at one point or another...except not quite as lewd.

Balfour blushes and rubs at the back of his neck.]</sub>

Ah... Thank you?

[foolsaround]

I've never seen anyone be that graceful with just a walk.

[ he shrugs ]

Most guys I know just swagger around.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_[....!!]

Ah... Thank you?

_{[What else can he say? That's such a strange thing to be told, after all.]}

My...brother and father taught me. To walk, I mean.

[foolsaround]

Hey, I just call it like I see it.

But that's pretty neat.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[What is someone supposed to say to that, really?]}

Ah, well...our family had an image to keep up, after all, so we have to walk and talk a certain way. You can imagine why I'm...sort of letting loose here.

_{[It was a dream and his family wasn't here. It didn't matter, here.]}

[foolsaround]

Hey, Reid and I can help you let loose even more.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[... Wait. What?]}

Ah. How so...?

_{[Yeah he's...not sure he likes the implications of that.]}

[foolsaround]

You haven't lived until you party with us. We're good at that.

[ partying hard is one of his specialties ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

Party? I'm...not very fond of parties. They're a bit too stuffy for me. And trying to impress all those potential suitors and their parents...

<sub>[He shudders. Women all over him? Trying to either get laid or get married? No thank you very much. Parties were not his thing.

What he doesn't realize is that Tyler's talking about a whole different type of party.]</sub>

[foolsaround]

. . . no, the parties we go to or throw are actually fun. Leave the stuffiness at the door and have a good time with a beer or two, some dancing and maybe throw in some food too.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[As nice as that sounds, he's still not sure what kind of parties Tyler was talking about.]}

Beer?

_{[Or what beer is.]}

[foolsaround]

Beer is alcohol, man. And believe me when I say Reid and I know how to party.
