Hello! Sorry I haven't updated in a bit, I had the horrid case of the Writer's Block...T.T But here's an update for all of you!
Mario was honestly suspicious when Luigi left to see E Gadd. He only does that once a month, but now he's gone again.
'He must have forgot something...What am I so worried about?' Mario thought to himself, but he couldn't help but notice something nagging him in his head that his brother was in danger.
'...Maybe I should follow him…? No, that isn't it...' Mario thought. He shook his head, clearing his mind.
"I'm probably just worrying too much...but then again, he has been acting… a bit odd lately. Maybe Toadsworth knows something. I'll go see him" He decided, walking along the halls of Peach's Castle. Greeting all of the Toads happily, he went to see Toadsworth.
Finally, he saw the elderly Toad walking away from Peach's Chambers. Mario called him out, almost dashing over to him.
"Master Mario. What is it that you need me for?" Toadsworth asked the red-clad man.
"Hey, Toadsworth. I've wondered if you've noticed Luigi's...er….odd behavior lately. He just went to see E Gadd again, even though he's already done so a week ago." Mario told the elder, hoping that he would know something about it.
"Ah...I have noticed this as well. Why, just this morning, I went up to him, and he claims he just needs more sleep. I think it's something else, though. He also mentioned his mind 'nagging' at him."
"Nagging at him? That's odd…" Mario says.
"He was also making irritated and relatively scary faces that would probably make you run out of the room when I was approaching." Toadsworth reported to the red-clad man.
"Is he going mad, Mario? He sees you, and looks a bit nervous, but then he hits himself in the head." This shocked Mario. Luigi...going mad? The thought scared him. Going mad...insane. Sort of like Dimentio.
Mario tried to imagine Luigi with the personality of Dimentio, but he couldn't. All he could imagine was the kind male who- admittedly- got scared easily, but was loyal. Luigi went through two haunted mansions to save Mario, even though ghosts are his worst fear other than possession.
"It's just a thought, Master Mario. No need to worry yourself over it! My, you two are surely close brothers…" Toadsworth smiled and shook his head. Mario smiled.
"Yeah…" Mario agreed, smiling as well, "Thanks, Toadsworth."
Toadsworth nodded, "Anytime, Master Mario." With that, the two parted ways.
'Luigi going mad...Was Toadsworth right…?' Mario thought, troubled.
The man walked along the halls once again, watching the Toads to clear his mind. He'd occasionally help them if they needed it. But the thoughts of Luigi going insane still lingered in the back of his mind, taunting him. But what's bothering him? It surely wasn't anything back then...or was it?
"Maybe that's why he visited the Professor...ghosts are bothering him!" Mario said to himself, snapping his fingers. That was definitely it!
"I'm sure E Gadd will find some wacko way of his to stop this odd behavior." Mario laughed, "He surely has his ways…"
Mario flinched as the castle shook for a few seconds, and Toads were stumbling over themselves. Mario dashed to the window, but nothing peculiar was going on. The Toads outside were looking around in confusion as well. Had it just been a small tremor?
'...r…...th….ll….e….' A voice sounded in Mario's head, confusing him further than he already was. He couldn't make out the words to the voice, so he shook it off.
"Was that Bowser?" The Toads whispered among themselves. They all shrugged, looking a bit nervous.
'Might be,' Mario thought, 'Let's hope it was just a tremor.'
You can tell I had Writer's Block here...
