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!

[At first all that is visible from the video is an almost birds eye view of Crystalden. It’s from a high building, looking down on the area below. Slowly, the camera rises as Shiro stretches out, yawning after a nap on a rooftop. Clearly, someone is already slacking off in this place, especially as the technology levels seem to be even better than home. Still--]

It’s bright...

[There’s a loud flap and then red covers the edge of the camera’s screen - a parasol being pulled up to block out the sunlight. He can still see from under it, though he does slowly stand once everything is in place. It’s then that it becomes obvious this video was actually intentional, as he pulls the camera to himself with a sheepish smile.]

I didn't want to have to use this, but, ah-- [He pauses to reach for a piece of paper that seems to be pre-made. On it, there's a quick scribble that slightly looks like these two] --looking on my own doesn't seem to be helping. If anyone has seen either my friend, Neko, [he points to the girl] or my wife, Kuroh [and to the guy... yes] please let me know!

video;

[beacon]

... Is that second one a boy or a girl? [ not that he's judging or anything he's just wondering ok... ]

And anyway, a little more detail would be helpful.

video;

[wagasas]

Ah? Was it not good enough? [he'll just... stare at the paper and wonder about that for a second - it does look like them, sorta!

maybe a description would be needed as well? his arm twists around the parasol to keep it in place, fingers touching his chin as he looks deep in thought-- but then he smiles. Maybe this will work!]

Neko isn't difficult to miss; she likes eating and making friends so will be happy to approach people. Though Kuroh tends to be rather serious, he does carry this creepy device with him as well so someone might have seen him use that...

[that'll answer his first question too, anyway.]

video;

[beacon]

I dunno if you've noticed... but all of us have weird devices on us right now. [ ... ] I don't think I've seen anybody like that... but I'll let you know if I do.

video;

[wagasas]

Eh? [he blinks] What's so weird about them?

[no really, it just looks a little more high tech than he's used to - but not that much!]

Thank you! [have a wide smile for your help though - he appreciates it]

video;

[beacon]

You don't think so? What's yours look like?

[ ... ] It's not a problem, you don't have to thank me.

video;

[adrenalines]

You really want to die, don't you?!

[ yata really can't catch a break. why can't he meet someone he likes for once? ]

video;

[wagasas]

[no, no he can't. partly because his fanboner for mikoto is the only thing that makes him happy...

still, yashiro waves a hand in front of his face, smile strained as he looks away--]

There's no need for that here, didn't you hear the lady? We're all stuck here together anyway.

video;

[adrenalines]

[ why doesn't mikoto-senpai ever notice me ( hint: he's dead ) ]

You think that changes shit?! You still killed someone, asshole, and now I'm going to kill you.

[ even though that person you killed is here now HALP WHAT EVEN IS SENSE]

video;

[wagasas]

[that would be the biggest hint. go nurse your boner, yata-chan...

he sighs at that though, and dips his head a little.]

Will you believe me if I say I've already accepted responsibility for that?

video;

[adrenalines]

[ touches it longingly...................... ]

Responsibility, sure. But you have to pay the price, shit head!

voice;

[yearns]

[ It's still a strange prospect to be able to encounter so many individuals at once. While most appeared to be bewildered or caught up in their own perplexity, this boy appeared to be in less of a pathetic situation. Outwardly, at least. But, still, he had his inquiries. Hopefully, this person could offer him insight. ] My, what curious drawings.

[ He seems to smile at this, though he's not on video-- the tone of his voice is likely to be the main indication of this. ] Though, the question I draw from this is-- how desperately do you want to see them? [ Mirthful and in surprisingly good humor, he continues. ] What price would you be willing to pay?

video; i can't handle this already

[wagasas]

[a sheepish smile follows that, and shiro takes a moment to consider whoever this guy is. he has to be a little wary because of what could have come here as well, but--

he'll reserve judgement for now.]

Are they? [he laughs and rubs the side of his head at the comment about the drawings, blinking innocently at the question.]

What price...? Did you want a reward for your help?

voice 4ever 2geba!

[yearns]

[ At the very least, this person's response had confirmed his suspicions. It appears as if not everyone who he visibly comes into contact with was necessarily holding onto some desperate desire. Though, he had expected that much-- sensed it; knew it from the bottom of his core. Perhaps, precisely because of the nature of his existence. Regardless-- ]

I suppose you could call it that. Though, I prefer to consider it "granting someone's wish." [ In exchange for ur memories, boi. Well, that's how the explanation would normally work, but it probably wasn't essential for this particular scenario. He gathered that much, at the very least. However, it wasn't like him to so easily deny himself of his own entertainment. ... so the hideous continues, i guess. the liah and bijou saga. ]

video 4eva so no ur plave

[wagasas]

["granting someone's wish", was it? yashiro's smile fades as he looks into the camera, and his eyes drift away to look over the edge of the building again.]

Ehh, doesn't everyone have some wish they want granted...? [he pauses to smile at the screen again, eyes closing--] Though I think sometimes it's best to work for what you want anyway.

[are they even talking about finding shiro's friends anymore. maybe not... maybe they're just being hideous. the liah and bijou saga lives on...]

video;

[harooo]

[ at first, when Shiro said "Neko", Haru was confused as to why the scribble of her didn't look like a cat and was about to ask about it (he also finds some cats scary, so he probably would have mentioned that too....) -- but then he's completely distracted by the mention of a "wife". ]

He's your wife?

Boys can be a wife?...

[ he doesn't sound too weirded out; though - on the contrary, he seems intrigued more than anything, as if he's seriously considering the possibility. ]

-- I didn't know that!

video;

[wagasas]

Ehh? Didn't you know that?

[it's probably a good thing he didn't ask about neko at least, however, everything else was probably worse, honestly. his face changes, blushing just enough and his eyes close to make the look of bliss on his face all the more genuine seeming. he's mostly doing this in case Kuroh can see and get embarrassed really!]

Mmm, Kuroh is a wonderfully dedicated wife. I'm rather lucky!

video;

[harooo]

You sound lucky!

[ Haru will beam in response, seeing him look so pleased. ]

I'm an alien, so I'm still learning about humans! But maybe I'll ask Yuki about that later! It sounds nice!

[ He probably shouldn't ask that person about that.... ]

Well, I haven't seen them! But if I see them later, I'll tell them you're looking for them.

video;

[wagasas]

[maybe he should feel bad about this, but it's all good fun. besides, some places even might allow it anyway - who knows?

he's not really how sure he is about the alien comment. after what he's seen... well, is it not possible? it's just a little random and he ends up just laughing that off too.

he'll consider it more later!]

Thank you for the hard work!

[combative]

[ YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

...

[ kings don't need tongues right. he answers the feed but doesn't say anything. just this icon. ]

video;

[wagasas]

[HIM!!!!!!!!!!! Well it got his attention, didn't it?

Which is precisely why he'll just get a smile for that.]

Ah, you are here then. [hand swish, there's no need for violence, waifu] Did Neko arrive with you?

video;

[combative]

[ aghdfdghfdghf he wants to yell but instead sighs. ]

My apologies. She did not.

[wagasas]

[continued here!]

video;

[laconism]

[Red seems to be particularly focused on the second picture, just staring at it for a while before finally speaking up.]

...Is that a guy?

[He said that it's his wife but this person just doesn't look female to him??? He's really confused right now.]

video;

[wagasas]

[wow people need to stop insulting his drawings, is it that hard to tell?]

Does it not look like it?

[yes he sounds dejected--]
