Luigi considered himself to be a pretty average person.
While his brother was out exploring a new kingdom, he was busy enjoying some time to himself. No ghosts to catch, no princesses to rescue, no worlds to save, just Luigi and the welcoming silence of home.
While the green brother was having a nice dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, he heard a strange noise. Almost like the distorted sound of blowing wind. He could've sworn he heard the screeching of an animal, but it was so faint, it was being drowned out by the wind.
"Mario?" Luigi called out, beginning to freak out. He knew Mario was miles and miles away from their shared home, but calling for him always seemed to calm him down.
Steeling his nerves, Luigi went upstairs to see where the noise was coming from.
Mario's bedroom was empty. So was Luigi's. The noise definitely wasn't coming from downstairs.
There was only one more place too look. The bathroom.
Luigi grew more and more anxious as he crept twards the bathroom. Sparks of electricity flew from his quivering hands, he always had a hard time controlling his magic when scared.
"W-what am I so scared about?" Luigi mumbled to himself, "If Mario were here to see this I would never live this down."
The thought of his brother gave Luigi a burst of courage. Just enough to get him through the bathroom door.
That's when he figured it out.
The noise was coming from the mirror.
The mirror was different than it had been before. Instead of showing his reflection, it showed a haze of blue fog. The screeching grew louder with every step Luigi took towards it. He could've sworn he saw it ripple.
"Mama Mia..." Luigi said, reaching a shaking, sparking hand out to touch the mirror. "I've gotta tell Bro about this when he g-"
Luigi was cut off by six shadowy tentacles dragging him into the mirror.
