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!

[ He probably could, not that he would.. but he gives her a sour look, though it lightens faintly at Lyra's petting. ] Hehe, sorry, did he surprise you? This is Houndoom, don't worry he won't hurt you!

[ there's a hidden "maybe" there, but that's not important!!!! ] I'm Lyra, by the way! If I didn't know we were completely stuck, I'd take leave right away too!

[pocketed]

... Taiga. [ Not the best introduction, but hey. There's probably be a "pleased to meet you" buried under there somewhere, but it seems to be buried pretty far. Manners are for chumps!!

-- wait. ]

Eh, so, you're stuck here too? Is everybody? [ she looks at a few random people as they pass by. ]

[soulfully]

Nice meeting you, Taiga! [ Houndoom still looks as ticked as per usual, but turns his attention a little around rather than solely on the other girl. clearly he deems she can't do much damage since she's tiny. ]

Yeeep, just about everybody here is stuck! Not including Queenie and whoever else she mentioned.. the rules of the other districts? Something like that. Anyways, everyone else is as good as stuck though.

[ it's a wonder why she's not so upset. ]

[pocketed]

[ This girl is a mystery unto the ages. ]

You seem pretty okay with all that. Oddly okay. [ basically, you're a weirdo. ]

[soulfully]

Well, it's not so bad is it? It's like a new place to explore all together! Everyone goes on adventures, so having more adventures to go on is inviting. I do miss the rest of my Pokemon.. but they're giving us a place to stay with their generosity.

[ basically? it could be worse. ]

[pocketed]

[ staaare... ]

... Oh. I get it. You're one of those "everyday is an adventure!" types of weirdos. The type that's always just happy-go-lucky and takes everything in strides.

1/2

[soulfully]

[ Weirdos gets a sudden sharp bark from the Houndoom, growling again now, but Lyra herself just laughs it off. ] Well it's easier that way! Plus I've been doing a lot of journeying back home, so it's not all that different?

Except for the lack of Pokemon and not everyone be Trainers, obviously. Oh and Gyms, and Leagues...

[soulfully]

....ahhh, what are we gonna do?!

[ WHAT IS THERE TO DO IN A WORLD WITH NO TRAINERS, POKEMON, GYMS AND LEAGUES TO CHALLENGE. ]

[pocketed]

[ WOW OKAY WHAT ]

W-what?! I don't even know what you're talking about, but you're freaking me out!

[soulfully]

Viral important needs for us Trainers! We will die if we go a day without battling!

[ ... ]

Just kidding! But no this is kinda bad, well, not too bad.. but being in a different world is complete nuts! What will we do without Pokemon Centers? Or Pokemarts?

[pocketed]

I still don't know what any of that means!

But if you're that worried about it, why not just train some more, uh, animals to keep yourself occupied? I mean, that's all they are, right? Animals?

And you're like... a circus trainer, right?

[soulfully]

Ehh? No, they're Pokemon! Which makes me a Pokemon Trainer! It's hard to train more Pokemon when there's none here! I don't know what you mean by animals.

[ how weird that is. ]

[pocketed]

Well I guess animals would be like--

[ No actually Taiga can't explain this one. Now she just gets mad. ] Ahhh, forget it! You're too backwards for me!

Why am I explaining myself anyway? You're the one who's weird, and here I am trying to explain things to you!

[soulfully]

Why'd you stop? You were doing a good job so far.

[ so disappointed... ]

[pocketed]

It's a lot easier to give up and consider you dumb than to waste my time trying to explain something I can't explain.

I shouldn't try so hard anyway, because I am going back home!

[ Well, at this point, it may just be denial. Taiga's really not sure if she was trying so hard because she does consider this person dumb, or because she knows she's stuck here and will be lonely if she doesn't get on someone's good side. ]
