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!

['my humans'. Kinda creepy but okay.]

Are any of them here?

[methemystery]

[Not any more than people calling them his owners.]

I'm still looking.

[still_at_twenty]

There's the internet forum thingie on the phone. If you can use that.

[methemystery]

But I don't have their numbers.

[still_at_twenty]

Put up a search ad. 'Seeking: humans who know a talking cat.'

[methemystery]

[Sissel tilts his head.]

A search ad?

[still_at_twenty]

[oh god she's explaining the internet to a cat. What is her life]

Uhm. Do you know what the internet is?

[methemystery]

Can't say I have.

[still_at_twenty]

[oh boy]

Okay. It's like a phone. It just shows up on the internet as words. So you write something and someone somewhere else can see it.

[methemystery]

[He shakes his head.] I can't read or write.

I could use those things [here he nods up at the speakers] like the Queen did. But I can't manipulate them from here. I need to find the source.

[still_at_twenty]

The source? Like the mic for the speakers?

[methemystery]

Sure. [She's never going to get that he's a cat, is she?] But that means sneaking past the Queen, so I thought I'd have a look around first.

[still_at_twenty]

[give her time. Lots of time.]

Okay. Complicated. [think, Ally, think] Oh! I can help you send the message?

[methemystery]

And you think they'd see it?

[still_at_twenty]

Sure. Why not?

[methemystery]

If you say so.

[Let's see ... ] There's Yomiel, he's pointy and likes to wear a suit, Kamila, a little lady, Jowd, a loud large detective, Lynne, a loud lady detective ...

I wonder if I should include the inspector and the little doggie?

[still_at_twenty]

Eh. Why not. Get everyone in on the party.

[methemystery]

[He nods.] Not that the little doggie can read either, I bet ...

Thanks for this.
