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!

[ a young girl stands, walking down the streets as if this is where she belonged. compared to her last location, this was much better change of pace, even if she isn't too pleased with the idea of living under a queen. whatever, there is time for everything.

she holds a calm smile, speaking to no one in particular. ]

My, what an ugly nickname for a Queen.

[roulette_vampire]

Isn't it just?
[There's suddenly a tall, calm looking man slightly in the shadows, a slight grin on his face - and slight fangs sticking out of his mouth.]
As if she wished to appear 'cute' to us.

[enprison]

[ the fangs catch her attention although she appears nonchalant. interesting. ]

Hmmm, wouldn't it be easier to make us fear her than to display an endearing persona if we're being forced to stay here? That wasn't a very powerful broadcast, but acting like royalty can be a rather daunting task.

[roulette_vampire]

[Grimsley gives a warmish smile, as he thinks about it.]
Fear is easier to create if, at first, you bring somebody's guard down with kindness. Somebody as powerful as a queen - I bet they've got quite a few cards up their sleeve.
[A bit of a chuckle, as he pockets his hands.] Or... she may be as shocked as we are. Who can tell?

[enprison]

No matter which one holds true, you're implying she's a liar.

[ it's conflicting when she knows she can be a million times better than this queen, if it were the case, but she won't let such words slip. ]

[roulette_vampire]

That I am. [He's considering all the possibilities - of course he is.] Why would we have everything just provided to us, handed to us on a silver platter, after appearing out of nowhere?

[enprison]

Unsurprisingly, there's clearly a catch.

[ she's glad her first conversation with someone else in mallow hallow doesn't seem to be with someone stupid. that would have been annoying. ]

[roulette_vampire]

But until it's found out... we may as well keep our guard up.
[Yes - Grimsley's also quite happy to speak to a smart young woman. He then holds out his hand, such a kind smile on his face. His fangs... might have extended a little. He's already considering if he should make her one of his secret victims. (Secret as in attacking as a fluffbat...)]
My name is Grimsley - from a country known as Unova.

[delicaxe]

Right? Emm would never go by something like 'Queenie'. It's so lame. [ have another young, pigtailed girl walk up, clearly irritated with her current situation — being unable to find her brother is definitely grating on her nerves. ] Ugh, just hearing her voice is making me mad. Wherever her voice is coming from..

[enprison]

[ in contrast toe emm, celes still holds her assertive smile as if nothing could possibly bother her. ]

I'm surprised you've never heard of something so simple as "speakers", but at least you appear to have good taste. If not I would have to wonder if you had any redeemable traits. [ she's teasing, clearly. ]

[delicaxe]

Speakers? Like, orators..? Does she have minions running around spreading her word, or something? It makes it sound like a creepy cult. [ Lissa will puff up at that teasing statement, though. ] Hey.. You don't have to be mean! We're in this together now, right?

[never_go_back]

[And there just happens to be a teenage girl in a black kimono walking from the other direction. Kodachi isn't familiar with the gothic-lolita style, but she is familiar with lots of black.]

Hmn? Are you speaking of me or Queenie?

[enprison]

You're implying that I would even know your name!

[ interesting wardrobe choice, but she isn't one to judge or have any say in such. ]

[never_go_back]

[Kodachi raises her hand and laughs behind her sleeve. It's like nails to a chalkboard.]

Ah ha ha ha! What, you mean you don't? Well, it seems I have my work cut out for me, don't I?

I am none other than Kodachi Kuno, student of St. Hebereke School for Girls and Queen of Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics!

[enprison]

[ queen of a martial arts rhythmic gymnastics? is this a joke. ]

I'm afraid those colorful titles will do you no good, now that you're a citizen of our fellow Queenie.

[never_go_back]

Hmmnn..

[She rests her fingers against her chin in thought.]

I suppose you are right.. But being a mere citizen isn't suitable for someone like me at all.

It would seem I must aspire to become something greater; surely there is an honorable title suitable for the Black Rose!

And what was your prestigious title, oh frilled one?

[enprison]

[ hmm. good mindset, she supposes. ]

As a gambler it's preferable to keep one's title unnamed until it is too late for your opponents. You may call me Celestia Ludenberg.

[always_running]

[Alice is even more pissed at this queen than this girl was. She already lived under one to a point and she hates that. She does agree with her though.]

Why would you name your kid "Queenie"?

[enprison]

I'd suspect it's not her real name, and she's merely making her title sound less threatening.

[always_running]

No points for originality.

[enprison]

Agreed. But now that you have been abducted to such a place, what do you plan to do?

[always_running]

I have no idea... I'm not quite sure what to do just yet.

[snakelady]

It isn't as if a Queen even needs a nickname... The title alone is simple enough to pronounce, not to mention it denotes respect on its own...

[If Celes is paying attention to who says this, she might be surprised by the rather tall woman dressed up similar to her massive snake.]

[enprison]

[ she does notice, but it isn't something to be commented on for now. ]

Perhaps she is new at this. Unsurprisingly her inexperience shows.

[snakelady]

She did mention something about "Mallow Hallow rising again"... Perhaps she is out of practice...?

[Or she could just be an idiot.]
