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!

I'm mighty sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what that'd be like.

[Sure, he'd been lonely since he had someone like Karen with him, a creature deemed dangerous by most of the people around him. But for three hundred years? He really couldn't imagine, and hoped the man still wasn't alone like that.]

...What about now, though?

[on_thin_ice]

Now... I don't know. Things have changed... but I don't know how long it'll last.

But that's fine. I'm okay.

[eyeofamiracle]

Mm. Sometimes, I guess it's okay not to know.

[Even though that's hard. He's aware of that.]

But if you say so, I believe ya.

[on_thin_ice]

Thanks.

[eyeofamiracle]

[He chuckled.]

You're welcome.

[on_thin_ice]

Anyway it looks like people can see me here without a problem.

[eyeofamiracle]

[Somehow, the statement didn't come with the surprise Jim would've guessed, but it didn't mean he wasn't also happy about it.]

That's nice to hear. You've found a lot of people here?

[on_thin_ice]

Hmm. Enough for a town, I think.

[eyeofamiracle]

Huh, impressive. Haven't seen that many people yet.

[on_thin_ice]

I can fly. Plus, being on rooftops gives me a good view of everything.

[eyeofamiracle]

[Okay, that cracked a smile out of him.]

Flying...I've always wondered what that was like. Rooftops, I know - scaled them all the time back home.

[on_thin_ice]

It's great!

[he bounces slightly!] I ride on the Wind.

[eyeofamiracle]

[The enthusiasm, childlike and pure, had Jim laughing as he strolled along the pathway, peeking into the trees and scanning over houses as he walked.]

Sounds like you're awful light on your feet.

[on_thin_ice]

Hm? I guess.

[eyeofamiracle]

Ahh, just an expression. I guess I tend to use them too much.

[Karen then lifted her head, sniffed the air. Jim recognized the stance, and found himself straining to see in the direction she was facing.]

I think she found a water source.

[on_thin_ice]

Yeah!

[leaping towards it. Once he steps on the water, it freezes]

[eyeofamiracle]

[Rushing to catch up, he watched with his eye almost comically wide, an astonished smile slowly claiming his features as he watched what he would call a spectacle take hold. Bending down to peer at the frozen surface, he chuckled quietly.]

Dang, that's cool! Oh, uh, no pun intended.

[Even Karen was impressed, supporting a slightly tilted head as she gazed to where Jack was standing at.]

[on_thin_ice]

Sorry, I, uh, froze it. Sorry Karen.

[somersaulting off the water]

[eyeofamiracle]

[Jim merely shrugged off the apology with a amused smile, mind still processing Jack's quick moments - almost like a warrior Duel Monster, except that was probably rude to compare someone to a card in your mind. Karen, however, just growled in interest at the frozen water, eyes looking at her reflection. Crocodiles.]

Well, we found a water source. Either find a home now, or find a plot to build one myself.

[He was just speaking out loud again.]

[on_thin_ice]

Build one? Won't that take forever?

[eyeofamiracle]

Not exactly? All I would need is a roof, like a canopy. I'm an outdoor-type person, so I'd just sleep outside. But I hope it doesn't come down to me having to make one, though.

[He had to do with tarps and blankets when he and O'Brien were searching for Judai in that world, that other dimension. If he could go through that, living on little food and no shelter to find a friend, he could handle living in this place.]

[on_thin_ice]

[He taps his staff onto the ground, so a small ice teepee appears]

Ta-da!
