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!

[Yay he remembers her! But ugh--]

That's right!! If she could do something like that, then who knows!

We'll just have to be ... on our guard. And keep an eye out for any opportunity to get out or figure out what she's thinking. I guess?

[May looks up at Mikio, almost as if looking for confirmation.
Trying to be optimistic about this

is hard.]

[insectubus]

[Mikio looked back down at her, and nodded as if he understood her feelings.]

The queen would have to know some complex shinto chants or bible verses to harm me. [Or a human spit-covered arrow or dagger to the eye, but no one needs to know that, shhhhh

Mikio then looked up to the sky with a thoughtful sigh.]

Don't worry, Miss May. [He squatted down to her eye level] I won't let her harm you. You also have Benito, don't you?

[springskies]

Oooohh... [Mikio, just what are you. She wants to ask but wont for now. For now, now that he's at her height, May will just pat his head over the hoodie. More the back of his head, though, to avoid his antennae.]

Yup. Heehee, thank you, Mikio. The same goes for you too! Me, Benito, and the rest of the team will always be there if you need us.

[insectubus]

[Great, he's purring now]

You are...indeed a very kind gi-

...rest of the team? There's more creatures like the fighting birdman?

[springskies]

[She'll continue doing it then! And wait birdman? FIGHTING BIRDMAN oh gosh. May laughs again.]

There's Benito, of course, and then there's Lulu, Cotton, Jaws, and Midge. I could show you them all if you wanted. Except Jaws because he needs to be in water.

[insectubus]

Lulu, Cotton...um... [Yeah he'll have a hard time remembering all of that.]

These creatures...they certainly must be important to you since you have given them names. [A light shade of pink formed on his face as he thought of nostalgic memories.]

The very same reason my mother named me.

[springskies]

[A-aaww! She gives him a really warm smile.]

They really are. And it's kind of in the same sentiment as a mother naming her children, yeah! They're my babies; I love them so much!

[insectubus]

Hmm...not quite what I meant.

It's a common practice for human mothers to name their children. Therefore every human has one. However, the practice is optional and rare in the demon world, where I come from. In fact, it's only just starting to become more and more common, but many demons are still nameless.

...Such as my mother. She never had a use for a name. I was given one because...

[His expression somewhat stayed the same, but there was a sudden uneasiness and sorrow in the atmosphere...]

I talk too much. May I see your creature friends?

[springskies]

[May's about to start -- after all, its not necessary to name Pokemon - but she stops. The atmosphere has indeed changed now, and she feels a little guilty about it.]

O-oh! No, you don't! I'm sorry I don't know much about that sort of thing though... [DEMONS.]

But um, yes of course. Okay... [She pulls out four Pokeballs and in a blaze of red light, the four creatures appear. He's met Benito of course, so he's nothing new. Lulu's a big puppy basically who eyes him kind of warily. Cotton chirps happily, and Midge more or less hides behind the rest because he's a shy baby. She points and names them individually and yup, she's still a proud momma.] That's them!

[insectubus]

[NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT DEMONS they are the stuff kids like May read about in creepypastas.

Speaking of unknown creatures WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE IS THAT A BIRD MADE OUT OF COTTON AND WHAT THE HECK IS THAT ITS ALL SHARP AND METALY....]

...What in the world...? [Mikio approaches Cotton, the least threatened creature, and squats to take a closer look, his antennae touching and running around the bird's head and neck as they slid out of the hood.]

I have traveled to many places on Earth and I haven't even seen such creatures like this.

[Fortunately, the atmosphere felt much lighter. Mikio's eyebrows arched and his eyes glistened, and he resembled that of a baby seeing a kitten for the first time.]
