"Well... this is the place..." Dry Bowser stated as he was holding a damp map, due to it constantly raining as he, Toadette, and Petey Piranha were standing in front of the Curien Mansion... although it was more infamously known as the House of the Dead.
"I... feel like we shouldn't be here. I'm getting bad vibes..." Toadette whimpered as she was trembling, holding her hands together. "I'm starting to get wet, and it's not just the rain doing that..."
Petey mumbled as he held various pictures depicting zombies, pointing out that this wasn't exactly the place to be located at.
"What are you two talking about? There's nothing scary about this place." Dry Bowser scoffed as he approached the soaking staircase, only to be cut off by several SEGA All Star racers zipping by, causing the skeletal reptile to lose some of his bones as Toadette and Petey laughed at this, much to his dismay. "Well... I guess I could take it back..."
Getting himself together, Dry Bowser took the lead as both Toadette and Petey cautiously followed him, with the trio being spied on by the various fat blue zombies awkwardly moving about in the forest of dead trees.
Elsewhere near the haunted mansion, Silver The Hedgehog sighed as he was separate from the group of friends he usually would hang out with, rubbing his forehead as he knew what situation they were getting into again.
"Why do I always end up making these appearances time and off again...?" Silver asked himself as the psychic hedgehog was quick to pull out a smartphone, using its high tech to search up this strange mansion he's heard about, trying not to get it wet due to the constant downpour affecting this area as well.
