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!

Dunno. It's like you're on the cold side too.

I'm Jack Frost.

[forcedreset]

Jack Frost!

[ wait a minute. ]

From the mortals' tales? Nipping noses, and all that?

[on_thin_ice]

Why does everyone say that? I don't even know what nipping noses mean?

[forcedreset]

It means, well.. you know. To nip upon a nose!

[ SHRUG. ]

You mean to say that is not what you do?

[on_thin_ice]

Not really, no.

[forcedreset]

What is it, then, that Jack Frost does?

[on_thin_ice]

Snow days! Snow ball fights! Among other things, of course.

[forcedreset]

Ah yes, no wonder the mortals like you!

[on_thin_ice]

[His expression flickers with doubt]

Well, I'm awesome.

[forcedreset]

[ such a thing does not elude loki's keen sight. but he makes no note of it. ]

That has yet to be proved, my friend. Though I suppose that summoning snowballs out of thin air does win you some cool points.

[on_thin_ice]

I don't do things on request.

[forcedreset]

Then you'll forgive me for withholding my opinion for now.

[on_thin_ice]

Sure. I have plenty of time to change that.

[forcedreset]

I look forward to it, Jack Frost! I am Loki; well met.

[on_thin_ice]

Loki? Huh. Cool name.

[forcedreset]

...

You've never heard of me?

[ no seriously ]

[on_thin_ice]

[Considers this briefly]

Nope.

[forcedreset]

[ a moment. loki's world is imploding.

this is a good thing. ]

Loki? Norse god of mischief? Schemer extraordinaire?

[ loki leans forward, and taps his temple. ]

No bells ringing? No bells at all?

[on_thin_ice]

Sorry, I have no idea who you are.

[forcedreset]

[ is this what it feels like to be you, jack? OOOOOH ]

.. Well! No matter! You know me now, and that it what matters.

[on_thin_ice]

[MEAN]

Well, yeah. Could have told you that myself.

[forcedreset]

But I did it for you. You're welcome!

[ loki clasps his hands behind his back. ]

Now! At the risk of sounding very rude - what is it that you are, Jack? You don't look like a jotunn to my eyes.

[on_thin_ice]

What's a jotunn? I'm just Jack Frost. If you're talking about my powers, that's just how I was made.

[forcedreset]

A jotunn is a type of people; frost giants they are more commonly called. But given you have not even heard the name Loki, I should not be surprised to hear that you have never known them. All the better for you, I think. No one much likes frost giants.

[on_thin_ice]

I like frost.
