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!

No. I don't see much of that over here- a few horses and peasants, maybe a knight or two. Hardly stunning.

[Still. Laurent is the only person he's 'seen' around here so far. Gerome is about to ask the other man if he's contacted anyone else, when something more pressing enters his mind.]

-I can't find Minerva.

[voice]

[everupward]

[A place more like their own home, then. Disappointing, but also not impossible to go see him, should the layout become more familiar.

...And knowing Gerome, not finding Minerva is a more pressing concern that meeting up.]

Odd to think that she would not be by your side. Would it perhaps be possible that she was left behind by whatever force brought us here?

[....Sometimes sensitivity is not his strong suit.]

[voice]

[wyverns]

No.

[He grates it out between his teeth, and there's the metal sliding on metal sound of his armor as he moves to look for her again.]

It's not possible. You're here, after all.

[They both have problems with talking nice.]

[voice]

[everupward]

[He likes you anyway.]

Indeed, though I cannot be certain of how many of us are here. Regardless, I suppose it's better to assume her presence in the area. [For Gerome's peace of mind if nothing else.]

You know of Minerva's habits better than I - in what sort of place does she prefer to nest?

[voice]

[wyverns]

Not anywhere around here.

[He sighs.]

They naturally prefer mountains, but I don't see any.

[voice]

[everupward]

I see.

[That's not much to go on. But Laurent is nothing if not a problem-solver.

Whether you want his help or not.]

These devices would prove invaluable in dispensing information across a wide area. Perhaps consider requesting the help of the public in your search.

[voice]

[wyverns]

[He nods, even though Laurent can't see it.]

...I need to figure out how to put my words on everyone's scroll instead of just your own.

There appears to be some sort of interconnected network with the ability to be accessed by all. I believed I stumbled upon it in my attempts at writing on this device.

Embarrassing, but it did reveal an important discovery. And it helped me to find you.
