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!

Tear was not particularly happy about her current situation. She was taken from her own world to be in this strange place, that might as well be a figment of her imagination. Unfortunately, there was nothing imaginative about the place. The way the so-called monarchs were handling this situation, already left her in a state of suspicion as she found herself in this district. The Queen's words still rang well in her ears.

Tear was not fond of being threatened, especially by an unknown force. She had far more important priorities than sitting around and amusing the monarchs, but the oracle soldier did not have much to go off of as of right now. The place was very unfamiliar and strange. Anything she would do might cause more harm than good. She had to tread carefully, and that was what she did.

Tear started to investigate her current surrounding in hopes of finding some more answers for the vague words that were exchanged earlier.

[darkhourdear]

While Tear might not be happy about all this, Pharos's reactions have varied from nonplussed to excited. He doesn't really respond to threats- he has no reason to feel threatened. However, the prospect of being somewhere he can explore and learn more about what it meant to human was very exciting. And, if he learned anything from Minako, one big part of being human was talking to people.

This person looks interesting. Let's go talk to her!

"Hello. What are you doing?"

[melodyoftheabyss]

The sound of a voice interrupted her thoughts as she turned her head around preparing to grab her knives to protect herself since the presence surprised her. Her hardened expression changed when she realized that there was a boy that was taking to her. He didn't look older than Anise, but could be around her age. The fonist lowered her guard briefly as she apologized to the boy if she had surprised him

"My apologies...it seems like I mistook your presence for something malicious," she replied lowering her hand and letting it rest at her side, "I am looking for my companions. Did you perhaps see a boy about my age with red hair and green eyes?" she mused giving the boy a concerned look. It appeared as if the boy was here alone too, and he didn't look like a fighter.

[darkhourdear]

Pharos didn't seem at all phased by the knives- even if she had attacked, it wasn't as if she could kill him. He frowns slightly as he thinks, trying to recall if he'd seen anyone in the crowds that fight that description. "I'm sorry. I don't think I have. Is he your friend?"

[melodyoftheabyss]

"Yes, he's one of my companions. There are others as well," she replied nodding her head. She was relieved that the boy did not take offense to it. Tear wasn't trying to be hostile, but rather overly guarded for her own good. It was something that a soldier like her was used to on a daily basis.

"Are you perhaps lost as well?" she mused after a moment.

[darkhourdear]

"If I see him, I'll tell you." It seemed like a lot of people were missing their friends, here.

Pharos thought about this for a moment, before nodding. "I suppose I am. I don't really know how I got here."

[melodyoftheabyss]

"It would be very much appreciated, thank you," she replied giving the boy a more relaxed almost gentle expression. It seemed that way to her.

"I am uncertain as well, to how I am here other than what was initially said," she replied in agreement, "If you would like I will remain with you until you find your friends."

[darkhourdear]

"Thank you," Pharos said, "but I haven't seen my friend yet. I'm not sure she's here at all." And yes, that 'friend' was singular.

[melodyoftheabyss]

"You're welcome."

She replied nodding her head. She caught that when he said 'friend.' It seemed like he didn't have many people from his words, "My name is Tear Grants and yours?" she mused briefly to him. She saved the whole soldier title because he was a child and she didn't want to further surprise him.

[darkhourdear]

"Pharos. It's very nice to meet you." He was meeting a lot of people today. It was nice, if a bit... odd.

[melodyoftheabyss]

"A pleasure to meet you, Pharos. Please remain at my sides at all time," she mused giving him a gentler look. Tear was fond of younger people, and did not want to scare him. She would rather him be near her if anything were to happen because this place was foreign and unknown. Children should not be left unattended, especially those that fell into the civilian category.

[darkhourdear]

"At all times...?" Pharos frowned a little, considering this. He assumed this was an exaggeration (humans liked those, didn't they?), but he couldn't be sure unless he asked. He could do it, but he would like to explore a bit more as well.

[ooc: also if she doesn't tell him it's not literal she might wake up with him sitting on her bed staring at her. ...but he might do that anyway. XD]

[melodyoftheabyss]

"Yes, I am unsure of how dangerous it is here at the moment. Please do not stray on your own at the moment," she replied, not really understanding his question. It seemed to her like he was trying to clarify that it was safe to remain by her side for now. She didn't think he would take it literally unfortunately. Tear was a little too serious at times.

[ ooc: Tear doesn't really get what he means when he asked that so yeah that might just happen lol. It would be amusing though and well there you have it XD. ]

[darkhourdear]

"Well, alright." If she said so. Though, he wasn't clear on whose safety she was concerned for. It would be alright, though. He'd look after her, as much as he was able. "Do you know what district you were told to stay in?"

[ooc: clearly we should make a post or something.]

[melodyoftheabyss]

"I'll help you find your friend," she said after a moment of silence. She knew that it wasn't fair for him to trust a complete stranger, but Tear only did what she thought was right as a soldier and as a fighter. She wouldn't want him to do that seeing that she was quite capable of defending herself but she knew there were some people who would behave that way no matter what.

"This current...district it seems. I believe it is called Astralfield," she mused remembering the name from earlier. An odd name for a district but she had more important things to be concerned about than the name of this place.

[ ooc: I would love to do one XD! ]

[darkhourdear]

"Me too." That was quite lucky, wasn't it? "Would you like to look for your friends a little more, or find somewhere to stay?" He really doubted they'd find Minako, so he didn't mention that.

[ooc: do you have plurk? I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't do aim right now.]

[melodyoftheabyss]

"If that is what you want to do," she added looking around still and keeping her guard up for possible monster attacks. Unfortunately Tear hadn't gotten over the fact that there might not be monsters like the ones in her world, "I suppose it would be best to find a shelter somewhere. It would be easier if we have a place to return to if there we cannot find anyone," she replied to him while analyzing the situation. It would be best to take the boy somewhere safe first, and continue looking a little later.

[ ooc: Yes, I do it this one here ^__^ ]

[darkhourdear]

Pharos watched her quietly as she looked around, curious as to her behavior. "What are you looking for?" he asked. She might have been looking for her friends still, but it didn't seem like it.

[ooc: sent a friend request. \o/]

[melodyoftheabyss]

Tear turned back to him as he asked her that. Did it seem strange to him that she was surveying her surroundings?

"There could be monsters here," for all they knew, so it was better to be safe than sorry with Tear.

[ ooc: added~ ]

[darkhourdear]

Monsters? Like shadows? Well, in a way, she was looking at one. Either than that... "I haven't seen any. Do you normally see monsters when you're walking around?"

[ooc: \o/ yay! If you send me a private plurk we can chat, but I'll be slow since... phone. XD;]

[melodyoftheabyss]

Tear couldn't sense that with the boy. He looked and appeared like a human child, so there was no way she thought he would pose any danger to her per say. That and if he wanted to do something, he would have, if Tear assumed correctly.

"Yes, when I travel, there are always monsters between each location, but they at least stay outside of the towns,"

She replied to his question, and taking his comment about there being no monsters. Her guard might have lessened a bit, but it didn't go away completely.

[coloneltrololol]

Jade had made it his goal to get out and explore as many of the districts as he could. What he didn't expect was to run into to anybody he recognized while doing so. But, indeed, there was Tear. He couldn't have mistaken her.

"Tear?"

He approached her openly, looking about as clam and collected as anybody could after being abducted and transported to a strange land.

"It is you, isn't it? I believe I would recognize that stuff posture of yours anywhere."

[melodyoftheabyss]

Tear was trying to figure out her current location to actually explore anywhere else, but when she heard a familiar voice, she turned around with a somewhat more relaxed posture.

"Colonel Curtiss?" she mused briefly in surprise, before letting her expression return to normal. Tear was uncertain how she should be feeling at the moment. She was ripped from something important in Auldrant and now one of her companions was here. She was relieved to know that there was someone else here but at the same time it made her wonder who else was abducted by these people.

"My apologies Colonel. I am merely trying to remain guarded," she replied in a serious tone, "Are you unharmed?"

"stuff posture" wow sexy typo

[coloneltrololol]

"I am. For now." He smiled. "And there's no need to apologize." Jade could never hold it against someone for being cautious.

He approached her, hands in the pockets of his coat. Jade knew how he felt; he was more apprehensive and annoyed than he was showing, particularly after hearing the Queen's message, but panicking was obviously not in his nature.

"You appear to be unharmed as well? I've done just a bit of exploring in the various districts, and I've yet to encounter anything too threatening. Of course, compared to what we've faced in the past…"

Jade trails off, because need he go on?

loll I didn't even notice but indeed ahahaXD

[melodyoftheabyss]

"I'm glad you are unharmed, Colonel," she replied softening up her posture a little more, now that she had one of her companions here. It was much easier to deal with things with her companions than by herself. Not that she couldn't handle the situation herself, but it was a relief to see them at leas unharmed.

Tear allowed her hand to move away from her knives as she turned towards him as he said that.

"Yes, I am currently unharmed for the time being. I have yet to venture to the other districts," she replied nodding to his words, "I see. I suppose we are currently safe for the time being."

She stated quietly. He didn't need to, she understood what he meant.
