Author's note: Mid Season is here. And school is really keeping me on my toes gah. I will try to finish this season in March though the movie is already having some scenes written (in no particular order). And before we get started the Truth or Dare episode will be happening in episode 16 of this season (smasher5 this your time to shine). If you have dares or truths be sure to get them in. They must be PG, pranks, breaking a rule in the mansion, stuff like that. I will accept nothing PG-13 as I'm worried as to what some of you will request with those limits. And I'm happy to announce that I now have a YouTube channel under the same name as this account. Also partially the reason for my absence. I will be mainly doing playthroughs of games. Right now it is a, mostly, blind playthrough of Luigi's Mansion 3. I saw a video of the final boss fight and credits. It would be greatly appreciated if you could check it out. Now for reviews first one is from charmander17.
"I do have one question what was the place ratchet got banned from.
Happy winter."
That was the All-Star Manor, sorry if I didn't clarify that. Next review is from PinkRose4452.
"Now that I'm thinking about it, I have a camera name for Ethan and Micaiah, which is The Johto Pokemon Trainer and The Silver-Haired Maiden or Priestess of Dawn, which the former is a aliases, and the latter is her ending title at the end of the game. You can choose which one you like the best. I'll try to figure out some other camera names for other characters that don't have them in the future."
I can use that camera name for Ethan. As for Micaiah, I prefer to use the latter. Next review is from ultimateCCC.
"Is Samus back officially cause I know a certain Pokémon would be ecstatic about this and some intense negotiations to boot?
Kasumi might have to talk with Joker and Morgana before stuff hits the fan?
No offense to Princess Medea and her history with him, but she's more of a childhood friend to Eight I believe."
Yes, Samus is officially back in the mansion. Though she is a bit wary of the new faces within it. As for Kasumi you'll see this develop in this episode. And as for Medea I'm going off of the game canon of what I could find, thought to be fair I'm using FANDOM. So might now be the best choice of things, unless dedicated fans are doing the editing. Next review is from Generic Smash Bros Fan.
"1:I forgot to say this in the previous episode, I think you interviewed Torterra again
2:I feel like Mega Man and X could have scenes together
3:Having a Sony character in the mansion is pretty cool and strange at the same time. I hope to see this duo have a good time on screen, maybe some scene with Crash and Spyro (?
4:What do you think is the future of the Smash bros saga? I just hope that if sakurai leaves, I hope that Nintendo does not put anime characters like Goku, or in the worst case ... Shrek."
1. That was Birdo actually I did not interview Torterra last time.
2. There may be a plot between the two for a couple episodes in the future.
3. I can have Rachet & Clank share some time with Crash and Spyro.
4. If they make a sixth game, and that's a big if. I have a feeling it may be a reboot of the series, potentially keeping the original twelve but still cutting a massive portion of characters from the game. Personally if a reboot were to be made I would limit each franchise to four veterans at most. And whoever the director ends up being better follow Sakurai's examples. Next review is from smasher5.
"where was byleth this entire thing?"
Wondering if stuff like this happen in the mansion all the time. These are the final Thirteen.
Dunban (Xenoblade Chronicles)
Sakura (Fire Emblem)
Toad & Toadette (Super Mario)
Yu Narukami (Persona)
Roll (Mega Man)
Grookey, Scorbunny, & Sobble (Pokemon)
& Lan Hikari (MegaMan Battle Network)
Rock Howard (FATAL FURY)
Sans (UNDERTALE)
Blue Mary (FATAL FURY)
Shantae (Shantae)
Gooey (Kirby)
Serperior (Pokemon)
Now I know that some characters that others asked for didn't get interviewed but I have then all marked down for a future appearance whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Season 5 episode 12: Man of the Mansion Part 1
(February 24, 2019)
For the past few months Mario had been trying to hold the mansion together. Ever since the trial in October Master Hand has been on a very long break with no clear return date. The red plumber was doing the best he could but he was reaching the end of his rope. Just very recently Otacon has nearly caused every single person in the mansion to be sent back through portals. The scientist did get quite the warning but was let off easy otherwise.
The whole thing had also begun to take a physical toll on Mario as he was now losing sleep with all the paperwork he had to do. Tom Nook has been able to take the finances off his hands but it still was a lot for him to handle.
The red plumber was heading over to Master Hand's office right now to do interviews. It was the last session so he could at least get some solace in that. When Mario walked into the office he saw the three he recruited to help him for this day. Which was Kirby, Shulk, and Marth. Kirby was the first to notice Mario's appearance and asked, "Mario are you okay? You look like you barely slept a wink last night."
The red plumber noticed the looks being given to him from Shulk and Marth. He then tried to dismiss it with a wave of his hand saying, "Nonsense Kirby, I'm feeling absolutely fine."
"Those bags on your eyes say otherwise," Shulk said. Pointing out the obvious eye bags.
Mario then huffed saying, "I just-a want to finish these interviews. It's-a about time we-a finish them."
"No I think it's about time you get some sleep and let us handle this instead," Marth said as he began to drag Mario to the door to the office. The hero-king then opened the door and put the red plumber outside it. "And I mean it."
"But-a who's going to run-a the mansion while I'm napping," Mario asked as if it was the hardest question to answer.
Not so hard for Marth though as he said, "I know how to work the intercom and what paperwork has the closest due dates. I think I can run this mansion just fine will you sleep. We can call someone else in to take over for you as far as interviews go. Seriously go to sleep." With that Marth closed the door to the office in Mario's face.
Knowing he wasn't getting back in, Mario decided it was probably best for him to just head back to his bedroom and take that nap. He yawned as he walked away from the office door.
Mario (Mr. Nintendo): *rather sleepily* I guess Marth can-a raise a good point. I do need-a a day to-a rest every now and then-a. This probably wasn't so hard-a for Master Hand since he-a doesn't need as-a much sleep as the rest of-a us.
"So who are we going to have with us in Mario's absence," Kirby asked as Marth walked over to the intercom.
"Well, we're about to find out," Marth said. He then turned on the intercom saying, "Mario will be taking the day to get some much needed sleep so please don't disturb him. And if someone is willing to we need a fourth to help us with the interviews." Marth put his finger off the intercom, and not only a few seconds later was there a flashing button. Marth answered it saying, "Who is this?"
"Why me, love," said the voice of a certain umbra witch. "For some reason the camera crew don't get that much footage of me so this seems like an opportunity."(1)
"You realize that's probably because of your programmed personality," Marth said. The crew would admit themselves they were worried that Bayonetta would do something they would have to cut out.
"Last I checked the show is rated TV-14, there's few things I can do that'll cause the rating to increase," Bayonetta said through the intercom just as it clicked off. Marth went back to the chair he was at wondering how this was going to unfold.
Byleth and Ike were currently waiting on the front porch for another new resident. Apparently, just like Robin and Corrin there was a female version of Byleth that had to be picked up. Byleth was very interested in the fact, wondering what a female version of him would ever look like. "I'm surprised you're taking this news of there being a female you so well," Ike said. "When Robin found out in the game several years back he was pretty spooked out."
"Well, let's just say one always have to keep a calm face in most situations. Plus I've been through more shocking and weird things," Byleth said. He then noticed the glance of confusion from Ike. "Trust me, you don't want to know."
"I've been through a fair share of weird things myself Byleth, try me," Ike challenged.
Byleth actually smirked at this and said, "Very well, ever since last year in this world's April I believe I had a kind of dream where I saw this girl all alone on a stone throne. Turned out, it wasn't a dream, we were communicating in my dreams. Since that fateful day she has shown up many times to help me in times of need and even gave me the ability to turn back the hands of time if necessary."
Ike had a rather shocked face at that saying, "I'm gonna need more background than that because it just sounds weird right now."
"Well, her name was Sothis, in fact, she was a goddess in my world."
"Was?"
Byleth was silent for a bit, knowing there was no turning back he asked Ike, "How do you think my hair became this color in the first place? When I was fighting Solan he trapped me in eternal darkness. When Sothis reached me she gave me the power necessary to get me out, at the same time though she sacrificed herself because of it."
Ike was silent for a bit before saying, "Okay, you definitely win in the story department." Byleth shot Ike a short glare. "Sorry, bad joke. I guess we wait for your female counterpart now, if I had to guess she probably went through similar things as you."
"Yes I guess," Byleth said as the two continued to wait for Kapp'n's bus to show up.
Bayonetta was in Master Hand's office now and the interviews were ready to go. The umbra witch had tried to take a more comfortable position for herself, but Marth was quick to stop her. The buzzer soon went off and Marth hit the button to open the door. The one walking in was none other than Dunban. A good friend of Shulk.
Said monado wielder was quick to get up from the table and shake Dunban's right hand before saying, "Good to see you again Dunban. It's been awhile."
"More than a year really, but yes I guess it has been awhile," Dunban simply said. Shulk then returned to his chair as Dunban turned his attention to the others in the room. "I remember you three as well."
"Well, I don't remember seeing you around here much so maybe tell us a bit about yourself and why you're here," Bayonetta said as she leaned a bit forward. Multiple alarms were beginning to go off in Marth's head.
"Well, if you must know I can provide a hand with the growing kitchen staff you have here at the mansion," Dunban answered flawlessly. "As far as I'm concerned, Cilan is only temporary and Kawasaki is banned. Making Palutena the only full-time chef on hand. I can lend a hand in it."
Palutena (Goddess of Light): Well, when you explain it like that I guess it couldn't hurt to get some help around here.
Cilan (Pokemon connoisseur): It is true that I plan on leaving the mansion at some point, but at the moment I'm undecided on when.
"That's probably the best reason we got this whole time, and this is the last day," Kirby said looking through past responses. The pink puffball saw at least three other ones that were really good responses.
"Yes, well it was needed I'm sure," Dunban said.
Bayonetta had gotten up from her seat and walked over to Dunban before handing him a map of the mansion. "You can wander around for now, but you need to be at the front when we are ready, love." Marth did a quick short glare for that last word as the umbra witch returned to her seat.
"Bayonetta, please don't make it seem like you're flirting with anyone," Marth said as the buzzer went off again.
"He's right… Dunban's not really looking for anyone to date for now so if you could just dial that stuff down a bit for him," Shulk asked Bayonetta. The umbra witch gave a short nod while Shulk was looking at monado boy like 'That's not what I meant' as he hit the button to open the doors.
The one walking in was Sakura, the youngest in the Hoshido family. Though she wouldn't get the chance to introduce herself as Kirby blasted a portal under her feet and dropped her through. "We are done inviting Fire Emblem characters to this mansion," Kirby said menacingly as Marth hit the button once again to open the doors.
"Ah, I see we have two little cuties right now," Bayonetta commented as both Toad & Toadette walked into the room.
"Why are you two here, Captain Toad left after the tournament ended," Shulk asked the two.
"Yeah, but you still need someone to drive one of the buses don't you," Toad said, proudly standing with pride. He was met with faces of shock instead. "What, surprised?! I can drive a bus."
"Not very well, I'm betting," Kirby mumbled. The pink puffball was then nudged by Shulk. "So Toad you have a reason for being I guess so that's fine. But Toadette what's your reason for being here?"
"Well I may not look like it but I'm actually pretty handy with tools," Toadette said. "Made some fine stuff during the whole paper jam debacle with that book."
"I guess that would work," Marth said as he got up from his seat. He then handed the two maps of the mansion. "Be back at the front when we're ready to go." The two toads nodded before leaving the office.
"Wonder who we're getting next," Kirby questioned as he looked at the list again. He then saw that this next person came from the same set of games as Joker and Minato. Marth hit the button and Yu Narukami walked in.
"So this is the office of the fabled Master Hand," Yu said looking around the room. "Interesting."
Marth then cleared his throat to get the leader of the investigation team's attention. "Yu, I understand your in an interesting place but we need to get through the interviews as quickly as possible." Yu nodded to let Marth continue. "So you are a leader of an investigation team, and much like Joker and Minato you have a persona."
"Indeed, though i prefer not to call it out on a place like this," Yu said.
"Don't worry Joker and Minato don't either," Shulk said connecting some similarities between these three. "As far as recommendations go you have then from Minato and the phantom thieves as a whole. So pretty good chances" With that the monado wielder handed Yu a map of the mansion. "You can walk around, meet some people. But be back at the front when we're ready to announce who got in."
"Very well," Yu said walking out of the office. Leaving the others to wait for the next person.
Mario was planning on heading back to his room for a nap. But halfway down the hall he thought, You-a know what, screw sleep! If-a I can't help with the interviews then-a maybe there's something else I can-a help with.
That was why the plumber now found himself walking to an office on the third floor. This office was claimed by Tom Nook after he took over financial duties when becoming a resident. Lightening both Isabelle and Mario's workloads greatly. Once there the red plumber opened the door saying, "Hello, Tom Nook."
Said tanoki was going over something before Mario took his attention. "Mario, what are you doing here? Don't you have interviews, and are those bags under your eyes?"
"Marth is-a taking care of-a interviews for-a me today. And-a I just wanted to-a see how the mansion life was-a treating you so far," Mario said as he walked over to Tom Nook.
"It's fine I guess, and does it just so happen that you were one your way back to bed before you came here," Tom Nook said as he made some quick notes. He then put the paper he was working on into a drawer, the red plumber noticed it had something to do with the already passed Valentine's day.
Tom Nook: Apparently we have a Valentine's day dance every year. But I was advised to probably cut it since hardly anyone ever actually participated. And it was cancelled last year due to obvious reasons, we didn't do one this year either.
"I just-a decided to come and teach you how to do this-a work," Mario answered as he went to grab the extra chair in the office. "It's-a important after all."
"Mario, you already told me how this stuff worked, last week," Tom Nook said, gaining a shocked expression from the red plumber. "I think I'm starting to see why Marth took over for today. You best get yourself to bed."
"But financial work can always take so long to do, and you deserve some free time," Mario said.
"Ah yes, the very reason I'm even here. I hope you realize I don't exactly have a reason for being here if you're helping with the work you assigned me to do," Tom Nook shot back. The shut the red plumber down for the count. "I suggest you leave and get some sleep Mario."
"Fine," Mario said relenting. He put the chair back where he found it before leaving the room. Tom Nook could only sigh as Mario left.
Kasumi had been avoiding the phantom thieves and practically everyone in the mansion for the past couple weeks. Only really leaving her room for meals. She also locked the door so no one could walk in, and she usually ignored whoever came.
Kasumi was currently waiting for word back from Akechi on the whole thing. While she should have told someone the second she found out. She was also worried that everyone else in the mansion acted like she knew the phantom thieves knew her well as if they were also in on the whole thing. She felt her phone vibrate and looked at it to see the mansion groupchat.
Best pilot in the galaxy, Falco, is online.
Falco: Is that a new feature?
Joker: You can change it on your own and that's definitely not the default setting.
Make way for the king of the kremlings. King K. Rool!
King K. Rool: I don't know about you but I like it! It helps keep track of who's on or not.
Joker: Speaking of which, has anyone in the residential building tried talking to Kasumi yet.
Spyro: Before anyone asks, yes I have a phone don't ask why. And I don't think she's talked to anyone in our building.
Ryuji: We've tried time and time again but she keeps refusing. Don't know why.
OBJECTION! Phoenix Wright is online!
Ryuji: Now I feel like I'm getting accused of something. Also I don't recall you being tech savvy.
Phoenix: They gave me a smartphone I'll figure out how it works. And is it possible you guys, the phantom thieves, caused this in someway.
Ryuji: For real! You're accusing us of doing something.
Kasumi turned the phone off at that. Maybe the others at the mansion didn't know what they were doing and genuinely think that I know, she thought. It was clear that Phoenix, Spyro, and Falco didn't know. Ryuji definitely sounded panicked, even in his text. Kasumi decided she still needed to think over things before talking to anyone.
Makoto (The class president): We've been trying to get Kasumi to talk to us for weeks now and so far nothing. I hope she can tell us what's wrong soon.
The interviews would continue as the buzzer went off once again. Marth hit the button and coming in was none other than Roll. Mega Man's sister, technically. "Roll, what are you doing here, I thought you'd be at Dr. Light's lab," Marth asked.
"Have you run away from home, that's pretty naughty," Bayonetta said. Marth wanted to roll his eyes, but Bayonetta had a point. It could be that but it wasn't likely.
"Well no Dr. Light just wanted me to come and try to convince Blues(2) to come back to the lab," Roll answered. She looked down rather embarrassed. "He would come himself, but he felt that wouldn't be best."
"Well, we recently made Proto Man a permanent resident here, and I'm assuming that Dr. Light doesn't want you to become a resident here for obvious reasons," Kirby said as Shulk grabbed the portal raygun.
"We already have enough maids and/or cleaners here so we are going to have to terminate this interview," Shulk said. "And please tell Dr. Light that if he wants Proto Man to come back it has to be on his terms." With that Shulk fired a portal under Roll's feet and dropped her through.
The buzzer then went off again and when Marth hit the button the four were shocked to see Chrom walking in. Someone then followed in after Chrom, which was none other than Leon, champion of the Galar region. "This guy got lost on his way over here," Chrom said before leaving.
Kirby looked at the tablet before saying, "It says the one we're supposed to be interviewing at this time in Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble."
"That's why I'm here," Leon said as he pulled out three pokeballs. "Someone had to bring them over." The champion of Galar then tossed the pokeballs into the air. Out of them came Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble, all of whom lined up. "I can only really let you guys chose one so take your pick I guess."
"So the grass-type is Grookey, the water-types is Sobble, and the fire-type is Scorbunny," Shulk said as he looked at the dex entries. "I'm gonna go with Sobble."
"I think I'll choose Scorbunny," Kirby said.
"The little monkey seems like a nice fellow," Bayonetta said.
The three, and Leon, then looked at Marth. He was the tiebreaker for this decision. "We'll consider bringing Sobble into the mansion," he said.
Leon gave a smile as he returned Scorbunny and Grookey to their pokeballs saying, "That's totally fine. I'll just wait around at the front with Sobble in the event the little guy doesn't make it in." With that Leon left with Sobble in tow.
"We didn't even properly start that one," Marth said utterly confused. He then looked at the map of the mansion paper in his hand. "We didn't even give him the map. How much do you guys wanna bet he's not going to be at the front when the time comes." The other raised their hands, agreeing.
Leon (Champion of Galar): I'm terrible at directions I'll admit that. One time I meant to go to Hanmerlocke city when I somehow ended up in the Hoenn region. I was right in the middle of a fight between Groudon and Kyogre(3).
Before Marth could run after Leon the buzzer went off again, leaving the hero-king to just sit down and hit the button. Walking in were two different people one seemed like another version of MegaMan, and the other seemed like a kid. Shulk looked at the character files before saying, " & Lan Hikari I presume?"
"Yep that's us," Lan said pointing at himself with a grin. "We're mainly here because this guy is in the original Mega Man's final smash."
"That is true, though I told Lan that it wasn't necessary for him to sign us up to come here," said while glaring at the young boy. "I'm fine whether I'm in here or not."
"Oh come on MegaMan this could be very fun, hanging with a bunch of people. Meeting with the other versions of you. I can imagine it now," Lan said with excitement. So much excitement that the sparkle in his eyes were very clear.
"Well, you two have gone up against a fair amount of enemies before. One of the most notable benign known as WWW," Marth said looking at the character file. "And you both actually had an official ending to your series in the sixth game."
"So I guess it depends on recommendations and if anyone here will even know who you are," Shulk said.
"Well, it says here they have recommendations from Mega Man, Proto, and Zero. X didn't leave anything," Bayonetta said looking down at her tablet.
"I guess that can work," Marth said as he stood up and handed EXE a map of the mansion. "You two can wander around for now just be back at the front of the mansion when it is time to go." The two nodded and left the office leaving the others to wait for the next one to be interviewed.
Ike and Byleth were still waiting at the front of the mansion for the female Byleth. It was still rather cold on the island and the two were debating on whether to head inside when a portal opened up. Kapp'n's bus followed not too long afterwards, coming to a stop at a parking space on the driveway. "Finally took him long enough," Ike said as the doors to the bus opened.
To say Byleth was legitimately shocked when his female counterpart walked off the bus would be an understatement. He was practically speechless on how he looked as a woman. The female Byleth walked up to the two saying, "This is the smash mansion right?"
"Yeah, you're in the right place," Ike said. The female Byleth nodded before turning her attention to Byleth, also suddenly shocked. "Yeah, you'll get used to it."
"So you're my male counterpart," asked the female Byleth. To which Byleth simply nodded after gaining his composure. The female Byleth held out her hand saying, "My name is Blythe."
"I don't know how to spell that name," Byleth said. Ike then opened the doors to the mansion. "I guess we're starting the tour?"
"Yep, the living room is up first let's go, this can't overlap with dinner," Ike said as he walked in. The two professors then followed.
Blythe (The professor): I can't wait to see what's in here. I will have to go back to my world sometimes though in order to take my students out on missions.
Mario did actually intend to go back to his room this time. And not only did he miss the fighter's residential building he ended up walking into the invite residential building instead. The red plumber still went up to the floor he believed he was on and walked down the hall. Only when he looked at the doors did he realize he was in the wrong building. Mostly because the name plaques had the phantom thieves names on them and last he checked they weren't fighters.
Groaning Mario turned around to head back out of the building when he heard a door open. "Is anyone there," Kasumi asked as she looked out. She then noticed Mario facing her again and said, "Oh, Mario. It's just you, are you okay?"
"No apparently I'm pretty tired," Mario said, his accent noticeably not really working for him. "Though I think the-a better question is-a why are you holed up-a in your room, and why have-a you been doing that-a these past couple weeks."
Kasumi looked at Mario with uncertainty, she didn't know if Mario had known or not but there was only one way to find out. "Well, it would seem that Joker and the others have been making me think that they knew me for the past couple months, but they actually don't."
Suddenly Mario wasn't so tired as he asked, "You mean they never told you that you showed-a up in-a Persona 5 after them." That was all Kasumi had to hear to know that no one else at the mansion had a clue. "We honestly all thought that you-a knew."
"Well, guess what I didn't. And I found out recently when I decided to watch the show they're filming here right now," Kasumi said. "I wanted to get a feeling of what would be happening in my stay here."
"Well-a there is still that-a whole situation with Hades," Mario muttered to himself. He then turned his attention back to Kasumi asking, "So have you talked to them about this yet."
"No, I have no idea what I'm going to do about this. Or even approach them without breaking down," Kasumi answered. Mario then held his head in thought, maybe there was something he could do after all.
Mario: I may-a not be able to help with interviews. I may-a not be able to-a help with finances. But-a I may just-a be able to help with small-a problems within the mansion.
Without saying a word, Mario spotted the intercom in the building and slammed his fist on it saying, "If-a your in-a the game Persona 5, please report to-a the living room immdiately. If-a you're in-a the living room and-a aren't in the game Persona 5 please leave the room." Without that Mario began to lead Kasumi down the stairs.
"What are you doing," Kasumi asked, rather shocked at what just happened.
"I'm-a helping you with talking to the others," Mario answered and Kasumi's eyes widened with horror. "Don't-a worry, I'll talk to them first then-a you can talk to them. I'll-a explain more there.
The interviews would continue after the four had heard the intercom. To which Marth grumbled, "Can't just go to sleep Mario," as he hit the button to open the doors to the room. Walking in was Rock Howard. Marth quickly looked at the character file and began instantly regretting bringing Bayonetta into this again. It stated in his personality file that as a gag he is nervous around women, especially those older than him(4).
"Oh, a young one," Bayonetta said as Marth was contemplating whether to save Rock and send him back. Or just let this play out, things had to be fair though so he was forced with the latter option.
"So Rock, are you a friend of Terry's because he and Andy both put their names on you recommendations," Kirby asked looking at the tablet.
"Uh, yeah. We've been friends ...for awhile," Rock Howard said, attempting to try to get through the interview. Kirby was confused and looed through the character file and understood what was going on as he found the personality page. "Um, Bayonetta, think you can leave the room for a bit?"
"And why is that," Bayonetta asked and Kirby showed the umbra witch the highlighted line. Understanding that it would be hard to do this interview with her, she got up saying, "Fine, I can leave for a couple minutes. Good luck Rock Howard." The umbra witch then left the office.
Marth: I did not expect her to accept that and leave.
"Okay so Rock Howard, you were trained by Terry when you were younger," Shulk had asked now that the interview could go.
"Yep, that was me," Rock Howard said. "I mainly came here since I probably have a better chance of getting in than some others."
"I can agree with that, but I don't think that's much of a valid reason," Marth said looking through some things. "But then again this is the last interview day so may as well do what we can."
Kirby got up from his seat and handed Rock Howard a map of the mansion. "You can wander around for now just be back at the front when we're ready."
"Thank you for your time," Rock said before leaving the office. "You.. can go back in now," was heard as Bayonetta walked back into the office and took her seat.
The buzzer was heard again not too long later and Marth hit the button to let the person in. The hero-king instantly knew how this was going to go when he saw Sans walk in. Said skeleton was living within the mansion as a temporary resident since December. "I knew this day would come," Marth said.
"Kinda weird it happened on the last day," Kirby said. "Anyways, Sans you are one of the final characters the player goes up against in Undertale. And you have a tendency to crack puns whenever the opportunity arises."
"Yes, they're pretty easy to do. All you have to do is get it in between the bones(5)," Sans said. The drumshot was then heard not too long later. The others were accustomed to it being a normal occurrence at this point and didn't look around in confusion. "I came to the mansion due to being a mii costume in the game, along with a remixed song, and a large fanbase."
"Of people who want you in for the memes yes," Shulk said. "Though since you're technically in as a mii costume I don't know if they are really memes anymore." The monado wielder got a shrug from Kirby.
"I would say the skeleton has a good chance wouldn't you," Bayonetta asked Marth. The hero-king did nod sense he had to agree. He had also looked at recommendations to see a whole eighth of residents, that enjoyed his jokes, recommended him. The umbra witch then told Sans, "You can continue to traverse around the mansion but be at the front in the event you're going bye-bye."
Sans shrugged saying, "That's fine. If I don't get in all I can say is mansion life sounds like too much work for me but you guys can still have a smashing good time without me." The skeleton then left when the drumshot was heard.(6)
Kirby (The pink puffball): Oh he definitely has my vote now for those words.
Shulk was looking at the character file for the next person to be interviewed. When he saw the series this person came from he asked Marth, "Uh should we just terminate this one."
"And why do you ask that," Marth asked as he pressed the button to open the doors.
"Because this person also comes from a SNK title," Shulk said.
Before the hero-king could question further he heard the person that walked in ask, "So you're not gonna give me a chance." Marth looked forward to see the young women known as Blue Mary, someone else that is well known to Terry.
"Oh don't worry, this is the last day so may as well give everyone a chance," Marth said as he got work tapping on the tablet.
Bayonetta was already one step ahead when she said, "So you're smitten for Terry, hm." Marth once again found another reason to regret his decision.
"I don't know what you're talking about, plus my last boyfriend is dead so I'm just staying away from love for now," Blue Mary said. "The reason I'm here anyway is because Athena encouraged me to sign up."
"And Athena didn't get in but there's the chance she may come back as a temporary resident," Bayonetta said. "We could perhaps do the same for you." Bayonetta said.
"Yes, that should work out, we do have a lot of rooms on the third floor," Marth said, rather shocked with the good idea Bayonetta suggested.
Marth: That was honestly the best thing you have suggested today.
Bayonetta (The umbra witch): Oh please, I know my boundaries. But I'm more on the higher end of PG-13 and probably the reason this show is TV-14.
Kirby walked over to Blue Mary and handed her a map of the mansion saying, "You can wander around for now but we'll want you at the front when the time comes." Blue Mary nodded her head before leaving the office. THe next one would come in a matter of minutes.
Due to the intercom announcement Ike was forced to change the location of the first room to be toured to the kitchen. Since he knew Byleth was a decent chef the same probably crossed over for Blythe. Which was why they're in said room now. "This is the kitchen of the mansion, not sure if this is bigger than the one at the monastery or not," Ike said as he walked over to an oven.
"Nope, ours is smaller than this," Blythe said in amazement. She then walked over to the oven and looked at the touch screen panel. "And these appliances are much more advanced!"
"You should've seen Roy when he first saw the way this stuff looked in 2001. Boy, could he not keep his hands off of things," Ike said. "Then again, it kinda justifies his age, guy is like fifteen. Now that I think about it, how old are you two, it's not really specific in your game."
"You know you should never ask a lady that," Blythe said, sending a short glare to the radiant hero. Who raised his hands in mock surrender. "But if you must know I'm only twenty-four."
"Well then you're about three years younger because I'm twenty-seven," Byleth said.
Isabelle (Secretary of Smashville): Oh thanks for finding that out. We can write that into the character files for them.
"Well, keep your hands off the stuff for the time being," Ike warned. Blythe did that right away as she was about to press a button. "We don't want another incident like with Robin when he first came here."
"What happened there," Blythe asked.
"Underestimated the power of the microwave and had mac & cheese put in for ten minutes. There was a fire," Ike answered. He chuckled remembering that. "That's probably a story for another time though."
Byleth looked towards the door of the kitchen saying, "I can't help but wonder why Mario wanted everyone in Persona 5 in the living room."
"It's weird, but I guess it's their business, not ours," Blythe said.
Said people from Persona 5 were in the living room, minus Kasumi. "So does anyone know why we're in here," Ryuji asked. Mario had yet to arrive in the room.
"Beats me," Joker simply said. "I can also hope that Kasumi made it here. When Mario demands something you really shouldn't go against him, especially if he means business."
Just outside the door to the living room was Mario and Kasumi. The red plumber was explaining the plan to the phantom thief. "So I'm-a going to-a go in there and-a talk to them about-a their actions and such. And when I say that phrase you-a will walk in-a and explain how-a you felt when you-a find out. Got it," Mario said.
Kasumi nodded, and Mario turned to head in. "Mario," Kasumi said before the red plumber opened the door. The red plumber turned around to face her. "Thank you for helping me, I may not know who Master Hand is, but I think he left the mansion in good hands."
Mario smiled saying, "Thank you Kasumi. That's-a the first time anyone's said that-a since I stepped up. So it-a means quite a bit." With that Mario the door with a serious face plastered on.
The phantom thieves in the living room looked at the red plumber as he walked around the couches and to the front of the fireplace. And they could tell they were in trouble when they saw his face. "So, what did we do," Makoto said.
"Oh, I think you-a know full well-a what you did," Mario said. He gained some confused looks, except for Morgana who knew what this was about already. "Seriously, you-a don't." Mario sighed before continuing. "Well-a, I looked back into some-a episodes incase we-a needed anything against Incineroar at-a the time when I noticed something in the second episode of-a this current season. I find-a a scene of-a all of you-a agreeing not-a to tell Kasumi that-a she was A. from a video game, and-a B. said game released two years after your-a own. Meaning you-a had no idea who she was-a. And you-a basically pretended to-a know her."
"But we understand her better now," Futaba said trying to justify herself and the others. "When we found out Ryuji was whimpering in a corner for a week."
"We didn't want to put her through the same thing," Yusuke said.
"Same-a thing or not she would-a found out eventually due to-a our regulations," Mario said. The phantom thieves then remembered what he meant and looked a bit guilty.
Joker (Leader of the Phantom thieves): Forgot to account for that. If someone doesn't know they're just a character from a game within a few months someone will be forced to tell them.
"Not-a to mention I think she-a would be more hurt when she would-a eventually find out-a she's from-a game. And-a that you we're-a lying to her for the past-a few months," Mario said. "Than-a if you-a told her right from the start."
The others were silent, they didn't think Mario would throw this at them. Joker then said, "We're sorry Mario." The others looked at Joker as he continued. "You're right, she wouldn't be hurt as much if we told her from the start. So we're sorry, and we'll make things right." The others slowly nodded one-by-one.
Mario's face then softened saying, "I appreciate the apologies. But-a frankly, I'm-a not the one you should-a be apologizing to."
With that everyone whipped their heads back at the door as it opened up, revealing Kasumi walking into the room. Some could see the tears on her face. "I can take it from here Mario, thank you," Kasumi said. Mario nodded. Kasumi then faced the other phantom thieves before saying, "I hope you are all happy with yourselves."
"Kasumi-" Haru tried to say..
"NO, you all lied to me," Kasumi shouted. Mario was shocked at this, he wasn't expecting an outburst breakdown. Then again, he should've seen it coming. "I thought our friendship was true and genuine for a good couple months. And then I decided to watch the show for myself and learn that it was all lies. Everything."
"We didn't tell you because-"
"I know, you didn't want me to freak out like Ryuji apparently did," Kasumi said, cutting off Futaba. "Guys, something like this can cause a rift. A break in trust, because I sure as hell don't trust any of you right now." Mario could tell she was about to break down and it was probably time to get her out of here.
Kasumi, you can-a go to your room now," Mario said carefully to her. "You can rest-a for today." Kasumi looked at Mario as if she wanted to say something else but nodded and ran away. Mario then gave a stern glare to the phantom thieves. "You don't-a have to apologize to-a her today, but-a tomorrow you better have-a something ready." With that the red plumber left. Leaving the phantom thieves to sort through their own guilt.
Interviews would continue as the buzzer went off once again and the button was hit by Marth. Walking in was Shantae, someone that had been at the mansion before during World of Light. "Shantae, nice to see you again. I get that your here because you were promised a spot as a permanent resident but it never happened."
"Yep," Shantae simply said. With that Shulk walked over to the half-genie hero and handed her a map of the mansion. "Thanks," Shantae said before leaving the office.
"Well that was easy," Kirby said as Marth hit the button to let the next person in. Kirby then got a look at the next one to be interviewed and said, "Oh, this will be even easier. Nice to see you again Gooey!" Said blue blob responded by hopping.
"You two know each other," Bayonetta asked confused. She's never seen anything like this before in her life.
"Yeah Gooey may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he's helped me out on more than one occasion. One was with something involving dark matter and the second time being against Void Termina," Kirby explained. "He can also be pretty strong, so he can defend himself well."
"I somehow doubt that," Marth said looking at Gooey himself.
"Just put an enemy in front of him and he should show you what he's got," Kirby said as he got off from his seat again. The pink puffball then handed Gooey a map of the mansion, to which the blob grabbed with his tongue. "Feel free to wander around the mansion Gooey but be back at the front when it's time."
"Well, the sooner we get through these the better," Shulk said as Gooey left the office. Marth then hit the button to let the next person in. which was Serperior, one of the three Unovan starters. "Huh well this is going to be harder."
Marth hit an intercom button saying, "Mewtwo, translation time." In mere seconds Mewtwo had teleported into the office. "Okay Serperior maybe you can start by telling us why your here."
After hearing what sounded to them Serperior repeating her name over again, Bayonetta asked, "What did she say?"
"She said that she's here because of the fact that there are currently no Unova pokemon in the mansion. And that Grass-types aren't represented here as much as others," Mewtwo answered. "I respectfully disagree with that second one."
"She's got recommendation from Decidueye, Leaf, Red, and Ivysaur. So that's four people," Marth said looking at the page. "I guess Serperior has some chance."
With that Mewtwo took one of the maps of the mansion and handed it to Serperior saying, "Get yourself to front now. You're the final person to be here." With that Serperior slithered away. "I'll be taking my leave now," Mewtwo said before teleporting away.
"Okay, let's get to decisions," Marth said.
Marth: This definitely called for some hard choices, but I think the choices we made were fine.
Now at the front of the mansion was Marth, Bayonetta, Kirby, and Shulk. Ike had brought the two professors outside too to see the others off. The ones to be interviewed, and we still here were Dunban, Toad & Toadette, Sans, Yu Narukami, Leon who had managed to find his way with Sobble on his shoulder, Blue Mary, Serperior, Gooey, Shantae, and Lan, Rock Howard, and Sans. "Okay everyone time to announce the five who gained the residency. First off, we are going to go ahead and give one to Shantae since she's been promised by Master Hand himself since last year." There were some claps as the hal-genie hero retrieved the envelope and walked inside.
Shantae (Half-Genie hero): Oh, this is gonna be fun. I can already tell.
"The second person we are inviting into the mansion is my good friend Dunban for his cooking skills," Shulk said. Dunban then walked up to the porch and took the envelope from Shulk before walking over to the side of the porch.
Shulk (Monado wielder): The whole gang's here now. I'm already planning the day we're going to have tomorrow.
Riki: Riki cannot wait to see friends plan!
"The third person to make it in is Yu Narukami," Bayonetta announced. Yu took the envelope without a word and walked inside. The cameraman inside the foyer tried to get a head segment but Yu ignored the camera and kept walking.
"Our fourth person to get in is Serperior, sorry Gooey. I lost the vote 3-1," Kirby said as Serperior slithered up to the porch and took the envelope in her mouth. Mario, who had also decided to come out, held the door open for the snake pokemon.
"And the final one, which ended up being a unanimous decision, is Sans," Marth said. The skeleton walked up to the porch and took the envelope before walking inside.
Sans (Pun skeleton): Well, I sure am ready for a smashing good time. *drumshot*
"Okay everyone, one the bus. Unless you have an agreement to a temporary residency," Kapp'n said pointing to Blue Mary. "Someone will show you to a room on the third floor after dinner Blue Mary." Blue Mary nodded as the others got on the bus to head back. The portal for the bus opened up not too long later and closed when the bus passed through.
"Well-a I call this-a successful day," Mario said. "And-a I'll explain what-a I was-a dealing with later Marth." The hero-king nodded from the red plumber's words.
The AI made last episode was currently looking over island cameras to see if there was anything out of the ordinary. "Everything seems normal," said the AI. It then got a flashing alert with two spots showing up within the mansion. "Two portals opening up after the bus. One's authorized the other isn't. Running camera feed, residential building second floor hall."
Kasumi was walking back to her room, having run out of the phantom thieves after her confrontation in the living room. She was planning on just laying on her bed when she heard a voice call, "Kasumi!" She snapped her head to the left to see Goro Akechi standing next to an open portal. "Me and the person I'm working for have a proposition for you, but you'll need to come with us." Kasumi was frozen solid, unsure of what to do.
The others on the front porch were about to heard inside when they heardd the sounds of a portal opening. Everyone faced the driveway again to see a portal larger than the one the bus had went through opening up. "There's no way Kapp'n got everyone home that fast, there was a lot this time," Marth said as he and Mario stepped closer to the portal.
Mario was curious as to who was coming out of this. But as he thought who it could possible his eyes shot wide open. "Do you think it's him," Mario said to the Marth and the hero-king got what he was implying.
They wouldn't have to question it for much longer as they saw none other than Master Hand fly out of the portal. The giant hand flew around the mansion for a bit before returning to the group at the porch and went into his human form. Crazy Hand also came out of the portal floated down a bit. The wicked hand then shouted, "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'REEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOOMMMMEEEE!"
Master Hand had winced at the sound and held his ears saying, "You did not have to yell that brother."
"Master Hand," was all Mario could say at the time.
Said man of the mansion faced the red plumber saying, "Hello Mario, it's been awhile."
