Addressing reviews:
Coooool123 oh ok thanks :) also thanks for the tip, I don't do that enough. Sometimes I'm like 'Ah, the accents fine' then later when the ch is out I'm like 'That sounds weird...' Lol good thing Mario's a side character XD oh and a Roy fan, huh? Well...I don't wanna spoil anything...but let's say Fawn's relationship with him is a lil more...complicated XD
TrollingForever: Well enjoy XD
Angela: Lol I love responding to ppl cuz it's fun when ppl are interested XD I read tomboy and I like it(wish it'd update :( lol) And I like BxP, but I do feel as though they're to different. I feel as though a good romance is two opposites with some common interests and traits to help relate.
Well, enjoy!
Chapter 10: Koopasitting Part 2
Cult
We walked through Toad Town, and kept walking through a grassy plain, until eventually we came across some weird obstacle course. Mario said that Bowser built it a while back to slow him down. Apparently he put it in the middle of the road so that there was no way around it. It seemed odd that we didn't just take a different path, but I didn't question the more experienced one. That didn't prove much of a threat though, as we passed it without to much trouble.
"That's odd-a..." Mario pondered as we walked. "There was-a no enemy's back-a there...something's off-a..."
I shrugged. "Well, another one of those weird course thingies are coming. Maybe there'll be enemies there."
"Ah, I see them-a!" Luigi yelled, pointing toward the course. Indeed, there were a few Goombas and Koopas blocking our path.
"Alright-a! Let's-a go!" Mario yelled before rushing in to the course. I saw him jump up way in the air and land on a Goomba. The Goomba seemed to be dazed by this and fell unconscious. An odd way to handle it...but it seems effective. More importantly...
"So, I can stab these ones, right?" I asked, brandishing my spear. Luigi turned to me, terrified, as Mario looked stunned.
"What-a!? No! We-a don't kill-a these things, we-a knock them out-a! We're-a not monsters!" Mario said, indignant.
I frowned in thought. You're not supposed to? They're kidnapping people for Star's sake! Maybe the fact that you aren't killing them is why they keep coming back to kidnap Peach!
But despite myself, I sighed and replied, "Okay, you're the expert."
A Goomba began charging me and I grinned. Taking my spear, I swung it at him and hit him with the side. He went flying like a baseball. "Well...hopefully that didn't kill him!"
"I'm-a sure it's-a fine," Mario replied. "Now let's-a go!" He rushed through the course, Luigi following him at a slower rate. I followed as well.
Alright Fawn...I'm doing some weird stuff to rescue you. So just hang on!
Bowser Junior
"You two are grounded! After this you're cleaning up everything you destroyed!" Kamek yelled, pointing at Roy and me.
"But Kameeek! That's not fair!" I explained. Roy stole my idea, blasting him seemed like the fair trade off!
"Yes it is!" He screeched. "You took the new ray gun that Iggy invented and nearly destroyed a whole hallway, and your brother!"
"But he was being mean, he took my idea!"
"You shouldn't have been doing that either! You're not supposed to turn the stairs in to a slip and slide and ride down them on a priceless painting!"
"It's just some old dead guy..." I muttered.
"He was one of our most valued governors!"
"Well what about Roy!? He's the one that did it!"
"I said both of you."
"Man, dats not fair! I ain't do nutin as bad as Junior. Da brat tried to kill me!" Roy said angrily.
"You were involved, so I don't care!"
"They should get worse then that! They tampered with my experiment; they should have their hands chopped off!" Iggy added.
"I wish that was an option..." Kamek said sadly.
"Oh yeah! Well um...I'll cut yours off first!" I retorted. Kamek rolled his eyes and looked forward. Nailed it.
"So, who do you think the new nanny is? What's the person like Kamek? Is it a boy or girl? Fun or boring? Super-"
"Girl. Just wait," Kamek sighed.
"Oh boy, am I excited!" Lemmy exclaimed. A new nanny does always seem fun, I guess. I mean, they always turn out lame though. They never want to play any fun games with me.
"So..." Wendy started, walking her dumb fashionista walk. "Kamek, there's some super cool gossip I wanted to ask you about."
"Shoot," Kamek said.
"Well, my friend who's a maid who's dating a guard heard from another guard that he heard you talking about a new human girl. That true?"
He grinned. "Yep. She's actually your nanny."
Everyone looked shocked, including me. After a few seconds, Wendy squealed annoyingly. "A new girl!? That's gonna be so totes fab! I'm gonna make her look so pretty, it'll be great! Finally, another girl!"
"Huh. Wonder if she's hot," Roy pondered.
"You are such a barbarian, is fornication all that occupies your mind?" Ludwig replied complicatedly, in a way that I think was an insult.
"Yo, was dat an insult!?"
"You wouldn't know, would you?"
"How can you both argue about something like this!? This is a new human! Do you have any idea how much of a valuable test subject she is!?" Iggy said creepily.
"I bet she is improtant! I bet she's also really fun!" Lemmy added cheerily.
"Yeah I bet so too! I bet she's really fun, and cool, and pretty! What do you think she'll look like? I bet she'll look totally different! With weird hair for a human girl, and-"
"Should be interesting..." Larry pondered.
I thought about it. "Hm...this'll be cool. But I'll bet she's nowhere as cool as mama!" I declared.
"Well, you'll all find out soon," Kamek said. The playroom was in sight. Most of rushed toward it, eager to see the human girl, who was also apparently our nanny.
Fawn
The door opened and I turned my head to see eight little Dragon Koopas. They must be the Koopalings! They instantly took my attention.
"I'll be back for you later!" I think I heard Kamek say before the door closed
I observed each one carefully. One was medium sized and had insane, blue hair, with a dark blue shell, and one tooth sticking out. Another was very small, the smallest, with a crazy rainbow mohawk, he had an orange shell, and he was balancing on a ball! Another was fairly large, my height, had two fangs, and was bald with a pink shell and sunglasses. Then there was one that was actually a bit taller than me, with crazy spectacles, green hair in the shape of a fountain, a green shell, and four fangs. There was a girl one, with a bow, bangles, heels, jewelry, and a pink shell. There was another fairly large one, with a grey shell, two fangs, a star mark, and a grey skin! I'd never seen one with grey skin! There was another with a light blue mohawk, two fangs, and a light blue shell, and a star mark as well. And then there was one that looked just like a miniature Bowser, with a bandana with scary teeth on it and a ponytail.
I suppose they were observing me too, as they were silent as well.
"You all...are so cool," I said dumbly. Ordinarily, knowing I said this would mortify me, but I don't think I even had time to realize that I'd spoken aloud as I got crowded by them.
"Hah! Finally a smart one who knows how cool I am!" the mini Bowser claimed, jumping up and down next to me.
"Oh...I uh..." I stammered. I realized at that moment that these were all strangers, and heirs. I grew incredibly nervous.
"OMS you're super pretty! Oh I have SO much to work with. Your skin is beau, this is gonna be totally fab! But ugh! What's with the fit? Sorry girl, but not everyone can pull off pink. We'll fix that!" the female exclaimed.
"Uh...th-tha-"
"Wow, you have really straight hair! I've never seen a human girl with hair like yours! And you're not pale like Peach! I'd actually say you're around the color of Koopa scales! That's super-"
I kept trying to answer him, but he wouldn't stop. So people spoke over him.
"Will you play games with me? We'll have fun!"
"How much do you weigh? Blood type? Date of birth?"
"Huh...guess she ain't dat bad lookin after all."
"Siblings, I believe you're suffocating her-"
I stumbled backwards and tripped. There are eight...eight...I need to start caring. Take care of them…listen…they're all talking, what is that one saying? No that one. I mean...they hate...they'll get mad if I don't...
I felt a claw pick me up by the hand. "Are you alright madame?" The voice belonged to the Koopa with crazy blue hair.
I stood up and blinked. "I...yes, yes..." I murmured. I blinked and forced myself to calm down and listen. I heard a few snickers, and I think the pink boy outright laughed. My eyes widened as I realized what I just did. Oh no, I already blew it! They think I'm weird, they're going to hate me!
I quickly tried to save myself as I was blushing. "O-oh stars, I'm so sorry! I just got a little...o-overwhelmed by all of you...p-please forgive me!" I bowed and said, "M-my name's Fawn..."
They all talked amongst themselves when I introduced myself, which scared me, and I began to think they were already thinking of getting rid of me. The blue haired Koopa, thankfully, spoke up as they all whispered.
"Well...it's a pleasure to make your salutation, Fawn," he said smoothly, seemingly trying to glide past the confusion I created. "My name is Ludwig."
Salutation? Sa-lu-ta-tion...that's a fancy way of saying hi. "Hello..." I whispered.
The others began to follow his league.
"Well I'm Morton!" the grey one spoke enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you Fawn! I'm sorry you fell. What made you fall? Oh, by the way, you're a super cool looking human!"
"And you're a super cool looking Koopa..."I murmured. I caught myself, and didn't even bother chastising myself, only blushing. Surprisingly, he did the same.
"Well, gosh! Thanks! You know, most people call my color weird. They say it's not cool. But I think it is, and I'm so glad I finally met someone that agrees!"
"U-um...yeah..."
"My name's Lemmy!" said the one on the ball. "Don't worry about falling by the way! Are you okay?"
I smiled, relieved at his forgiveness. "I'm fine...thank you."
I heard someone laugh and turned my head to see the pink male laughing. "Hah! Dat was funny as hell!"
I didn't know what to say to that. I probably would've found it funny, actually, but I was to nervous to think that. "Uh...I suppose..."
He sneered. "Dumb broad."
His words stung me, the sensitive subject being hit. I...I'm not dumb! I...
"Well, I dunno about that Roy!" the miniature Bowser said. "You said we're cool. Which means you know that I'm cool! So you're not to dumb."
I smiled with relief once more, feeling overjoyed that I was being defended. I observed the young Koopa. I found all the Koopalings cute, and cool, and both for a few. But I found this one especially cute.
"I'm Bowser Junior, by the way," he added, smirking with his hands on his hips. That pose is...adorable! And his name! Bowser Junior...that makes perfect sense.
I began to murmur. "You're so cu-"
Thankfully I was interrupted by the girl Koopa. "You just ignore Junior. He's, like, a little weirdo," she said to me, sneering at Junior. Junior stuck his tongue out in reply, which she ignored and continued talking. "Oh, this is gonna be super fun!" She rushed up to me and grabbed my hands, which startled me a little. But I forced myself not to freak out. "We're gonna make you look, like, so pretty! Don't worry, we can fix you up, find your color." What is it with these girls and saying I'm pretty but then saying I'm not pretty enough? "Don't worry, we can fix you up, find your color. We'll be like best gffs Fawn! PS, I love your name. Super posh!"
I tried to decipher her language in her last statement, but it was something I'd never heard before. I was going to ask her to speak English when someone else interrupted.
"No! I will not allow you to tamper with the test subject before I get to her!" the spectacled Koopa screeched. He shoved Wendy off of my hands, which I was a little grateful for, until he used both of his to inspect mine. "Hm..." he said, staring intently at my hands. "Skin is of darker pigmentation of a usual human, but not the darkest we've seen..." He pressed his claws in to my palms, and I grew increasingly uncomfortable. "Skin is not of consistency to other female humans. Majority of her skin is the same as other humans, also containing the females' general delicate nature, but she contains calluses, which has only been seen on Mario..." He finally let go of my hands and his eyes lit up. "You'll be such a fun test subject!"
Test subject? What is he testing for? Is that a compliment though? He seems happy about it...
"Th-thanks?" I said unsurely.
The small Koopa with the light blue mohawk gently moved the one holding me now, confirmed to be Iggy, away from me. I was expecting him to touch me in some way too, but he didn't, to my relief.
"Come on, give her some space Iggy," the boy said, gently moving him. "Don't want to stress her out. That could interfere with her...uh...brain, and stuff."
Iggy seemed to be happy with this answer and moved backwards. "Well, right you are! I'd better be more careful..."
The Koopa smiled at him, then to me. He stuck out his hand and said, "Hello, my name's Larry. It's good to meet you Fawn. That's a very pretty name, by the way."
I blushed a little and shook his hand. "Th-thank you, Larry..."
The silence between all of us lasted only a second before Wendy spoke to me. "Well, this is gonna be so fun! We'll like, get your nails done, and go shopping for clothes, and-"
The sound of a phone ringing stopped her. She reached in to her shell and pulled out a cellphone. Wow...so she has one.
She pressed a button and put it to her ear. "Hello...Ruby, what's up girl...oh I'm just with this super cool new girl I met! Get this, she's a...wait, WHAT!?" I found her squeal quite annoying. "OMS I didn't even notice the time! Like, thanks Ruby!"
She hung up and turned to me. "So sorry, but my marathon's on. We'll do this another day! Ciao!" She's running a marathon? Wow...she doesn't look like she has it in her. That's quite respectable! She quickly plopped on to a sofa and turned the TV on. ...I don't think that's running a marathon.
Ludwig sighed and Roy groaned, saying, "Aw damn, I don wanna deal wid dat crap on!"
I was about to check what it was, as I still wasn't used to TV and was quite interested in it, when Junior tugged on my shorts. I looked down at him.
"Hey," he said. "You wanna play a game?"
A game? Perfect, that's what I'm supposed to do. "Sounds fun," I answered.
He grinned and said, "Cool! Come with me!" He jumped up and grabbed my fingers, and dragged me along as I followed, hunched over. This startled me, but I decided I shouldn't get to scared since he's just a little kid. A cute one at that...
"Hey, wait!" I heard Lemmy yell. "I want to play!"
Morton also joined in, yelling, "Yeah me too! I don't even like games, but if it means talking to Fawn, I'm in!"
Bowser Junior frowned, before muttering, "Fine."
We all walked to the other side of the room. I grew worried that the others would be offended. "Um...do you guys mind if I'm in the side of the room?" I called to the Koopalings in the opposite side of the room. I got no response, which I decided meant 'yes'. "Okay...just tell me if you need something!"
Only Ludwig answered me. "Thank you, ma'am."
I nodded before turning to the three that were with me. I looked over to the side and saw Iggy was here as well. I was a little startled.
"Oh! Iggy...are you playing with us?"
He shook his head. "No, I'm just going to...observe."
I shrugged. "Okay...if you like."
He nodded and sort of began to stare from the sidelines.
"So what game do we play?" Lemmy asked.
"I wanna play Battle!" Bowser Junior said enthusiastically.
Lemmy frowned. "I don't think that's a good idea Junior..."
"Yeah, she's a human girl! They're really fragile, and get hurt easy. Yep, not a good idea Junior," Morton agreed.
"I won't let you harm my test subject!" Iggy said.
Bowser Junior pouted. "Humph...figures, she's probably uncool like the rest of the nannies."
Oh no, I'm failing! I have to fix this, quick! "I-I can play Battle!" I said quickly. His eyes lit up. "You can!?" I nodded and he jumped for joy.
Morton and Lemmy shrugged. "If you say so."
"Very well. Now I will be able to determine physical capabilities!" Iggy yelled.
"So...how do you play?" I asked.
Bowser Junior dug through the chest and threw out a few weapons. They were toys, but they still look like they hurt.
"You pick one and you have to try and hit people. If you get hit five times, you lose," Junior explained.
I nodded. Seems simple… "Okay...I'll do my best!"
Morton picked out a stout club, Junior picked out a staff, and Lemmy got a sack of rocks. I noticed how perfectly he rolled on his ball. I wonder how he's going to play on it? I looked at my options and picked out the one I had experience with. A bow and a quiver filled with about ten arrows. The points of the arrows were plastic, but it'll still hurt if shot well.
"Okay...ready..." Junior counted.
Okay...if I recall correctly, the Koopalings are skilled fighters.
"Set..."
If I want to even compete, I must first find optimal cover. But most of all...
"Go!"
I've got to play smart.
At Juniors' command, everyone ran around the room. I didn't bother to pay attention to the violence and sprinted up the clubhouse, being the only optimal hiding place for my size and weapon. On my way up, I was hit by a rock.
"Sorry Fawn!" I heard a voice call.
I ignored the pain and climbed up the clubhouse. Once up I kicked the wood in front of the ladder a few times until it was splintered. I then ducked in the corner.
I looked down and saw that Morton had whacked Junior with a club. I thought he'd be hurt, but he got up and ran to the slide, and Morton followed. They sort of played a game of chicken, running around the slide, with Junior teasing Morton with his pole arm, eventually getting a hit. I noticed Lemmy had situated himself in the jungle jim and began to throw rocks at them through the holes, nailing them both once.
Not a very clever tactic considering how early in the game we are...
Indeed it wasn't, as Morton and Junior soon ganged up on him. Being seemingly weak, and also only containing a long range weapon as well, he only managed to get one hit on Junior before being eliminated by them both.
"Dang…I lost! Oh well!" Lemmy said as he limped away
Junior began to target Morton again. Morton, however, seemed like he was remembering me.
Now!
Wasting no more time, I began to shoot at the two. My weapon of choice as a hunter was always a bow and arrow, as it allowed more room for strategy. However, I wasn't the best shot in my village. I missed the first shot, causing them to scramble. Junior ducked under the slide as Morton ran up the stairs.
"I'm coming for you! Better get ready! Cuz I'm not holding back! Got it?" Morton said as he climbed the stairs. But I wasn't intimidated.
That's right...just a little closer...
Right when he was about to get to me, I went down the slide. When he reached the top, he fell down the wood that I had kicked in. My favorite weapon, if it was considered one, was always traps to catch my prey.
He fell underneath the clubhouse, looking dazed and confused.
"What…" He mumbled, obviously confused.
Junior looked equally confused. I took the opportunity to shoot them both. Junior, turning around, ran toward me. He was faster than I anticipated, and managed to hit me. I stumbled a bit when the tip jabbed my chest, but I stayed in place. Morton came behind Junior and whacked him, eliminating him.
"Ow! Dang it!" Junior whined when he realized that was his fifth hit.
Morton charged after me. I shot him before running, but he shrugged it off as it hit and he hit my hand.
Crap...he's no idiot, plus he's much more athletic than I am...what can I do? Wait...I've got it! It's a long shot...but it might work!
I slowed down and turned, allowing Morton to hit my blocking arms with his club. I tried to ignore the pain as I used the momentum to jump far backwards in to the jungle jim. He ran toward me and I drew back my last arrow. He stopped with his club raised, ready to jab me through the hole in the jungle jim, when he noticed my bow was trained on him. His eyes widened.
"...Draw?" I asked.
He nodded. "Yeah...draw."
We both put down our weapons. Iggy was clapping in the corner. "Bravo! You're a wonderful specimen, showing decent athletic performance and a keen intellect!"
Morton grabbed my hand and helped me out of the jungle jim. "You did really good! That was so awesome! That trap was super smart! And that last plan was crazy!"
Junior joined in too, running up to my legs and jumping up and down. "You're so strong!" he exclaimed. "I thought you'd be no fun, like the other maids! But you played Battle with me, even Mama Peach doesn't do that!"
"Oh...well thank you!" I said, glowing at the praise.
"Yeah, you're super strong," Lemmy added. "To draw with Morton is really good; he's the third strongest Koopaling!"
"Wow...thanks!" I said, happy to receive a compliment.
"Hey! Let's be friends!" Junior said enthusiastically, holding out his hand.
My eyes widened. He...wants to be my friend. Only Peach has done that so far... I smiled and shook his hand. "I'd love to!"
Lemmy grabbed my other hand. "Hey, I want to be friends with you too!"
My eyes widened with joy. "Yes, I'd love to too!"
Morton came up and grabbed both of my hands, and his brothers' hands, in to his larger claws. "Hey, I want to be friends with you too! I have a lot we can talk about, and I bet you do too, being a human and all, and-"
"I'd love to!" I said, smiling. I was practically ecstatic. So many new friends! I can't believe it! I...I love this place!
I thought we were going to play another game, but Kamek walked in. He looked worried.
"So, how are you all doing?" he asked with a nervous smile. "Everyone getting along okay?"
I turned to him, as did the others. I was about to answer, but Junior did for me.
"We did! Fawn's awesome!" Junior said enthusiastically. I turned to him and smiled largely.
"Really?" Both Kamek and I asked at the same time.
Morton nodded. "Yep! She's super cool! She seemed really shy and weird at first, but then she turned out to be really cool and stuff! We played Battle and-"
"You played Battle!?" Kamek asked incredulously.
"Yeah, but she was really good at it!" Lemmy chimed. "She tied with Morton!"
Kamek's eyes widened as he turned to me. "You tied with Morton?"
"Um...yes..." I said nervously.
"She's quite a fighter!" Iggy exclaimed. "Using wits in a battle, how preferable! I think I know what I'd like to dissect first..."
"You're not dissecting anyone," Kamek replied. He turned to everyone else in the other half of the room. "So...how'd you all like Fawn?"
Neither Wendy nor Ludwig noticed him. Ludwig had his headphones, as I think they were called, on, and Wendy was watching TV. Both Kamek and I noticed the problem immediately.
"Where's Roy and Larry?" Kamek asked irately.
Wendy finally answered. "Sh, this is important! They snuck out while Fawn was doing whatever."
I knit my brows. "Why would they do that?" I pondered. "Weren't they supposed to stay in here?"
Kamek sighed. "They were supposed to. But they must've decided they didn't need to and ran off."
My eyes widened. Oh stars...how had I not considered the idea that they could be misbehaved? In the end I didn't watch them! Oh, I'm such a fool! I did awful! "O-oh Mr. Kamek! I-I'm really sorry! Please don't be mad, I-I-"
He waved his hand in dismissal. "It's fine...I'm actually surprised you did this well!"
That relieved me a little. "Really?"
"Oh, yes! Most of the time, half of them would have run away by now. And then playroom would've been a wreck!"
He looked around the playroom. I noticed that there were toys on our side, with the slide and jungle jim being a bit beaten up. On the other sides were discarded bags of food and cans of soda. "Well...more of a wreck."
"I see...well, I'm happy to help! I had fun!" I said cheerily. "So...thank you."
He nodded slowly. "Well, thank you. You really saved me on this one."
I smiled with pride as Kamek said, "Alright, dinner time! Come on you guys." Bowser Junior whined a little. "But I wanna play a little longer!"
"You've played enough. Besides, I'd say Fawn is tired now."
I wasn't sure, but upon inspection, I did realize I was pretty sore.
"Oh...okay," he said sadly. He turned to me. "I'll see you later Fawn!"
"Yeah, bye Fawn!" Lemmy said.
"Bye Fawn! I'll make sure to see you again! We never got to talk at all, so I figured we should-"
"Maybe you won't see me...but I'll be seeing you," Iggy murmured. I guess he really wants to observe me.
Wendy finally got up. "That was like, so sad..." she wailed. She turned to me and said, "Sorry we didn't get to hang...my show came on. Like, later though! Ciao!"
As all the other Koopalings were leaving, Ludwig opened his eyes. He seemed to immediately know what was happening, as he stood and said, "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Fawn."
"Likewise..." I said to him. I saw them all leaving and said, "Nice to meet you all!"
A few of them returned it before opening the door. As soon as they walked out, Tina walked in. I was very pleased to see her.
"Tina!" I exclaimed excitedly.
"Fawn!" she ran up to me and hugged me. "It's so great to see you! How have you been?"
"Good!" I said happily.
"Great. Listen, I came by to ask you if you'd like a gift."
"A gift?" I asked.
"Yeah! Since I don't really get to much work as a tailor, why don't I make you some clothes since you don't really have any. For free!"
I smiled. "That sounds great! I've been dying to get some normal clothes, all the ones I have are so...weird for me."
"Great! Come with me, I'll take you to my office. I just need to get your measurements, maybe ask a few questions, and then I'll have an idea of what I want to make for you," she explained.
I nodded. "Sure, sounds fun!"
She smiled. "Great, then let's go!"
Together, we walked out of the room to Tina's office.
I walked back to my room after I'd gone to Tina's office. I wasn't there for long; she just measured my body with a ruler and asked me a few questions. She asked me kind of style I mainly wanted, I said comfortable. She asked what my favorite colors were, and I said brown, and that I also liked dark green. It was very nice talking to her, as she was a kind person, and my friend, so I never got nervous.
After that, she told me I should go back to my room and see if Jimmy was there. I actually remembered my way more or less, occasionally asking a guard to confirm it for me. Eventually while I was walking past a door, it suddenly flung open. The force of the door hitting me made me fall over. I looked up to see who had done it, and saw Bowser standing in front of me.
"Oh! Bowser!" I exclaimed, surprised. I hadn't seen him since last night, so I didn't know where we stood as far as being friends go. But I was pretty sure we were now. I mean I asked and he said yes…hopefully he didn't change his mind already.
"Huh?" he said, not sure what he hit. He looked down and saw me, and his face looked mixed. "Oh. It's you."
"Yes," I said, standing up. I groaned a little, my body sore from the Battle. Morton packs a punch. He heard me groan and asked, "That from the game of Battle?"
"Oh...you heard about that?"
He nodded, seemingly analyzing me. "Yeah. Iggy, Junior, Lemmy, and Morton all wouldn't shut up about how awesome you were."
"Th-thank you..." I said, happy that they had talked good of me. "They were strong though..."
He nodded absently. "Yeah, they're pretty tough." He paused, looking like he was considering his words, before nonchalantly saying, "I guess you did pretty good to tie with Morton."
I smiled and said, "Th-thank you..."
"Anyway..." he said, still sounding careful."I'd say most of the Koopalings liked you. They were actually talking about having you come for breakfast tomorrow."
I smiled brightly as he quickly said, "You can come for them. Okay?"
I nodded. "Okay! I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow!"
He nodded. "Okay. See you."
He started walking off quickly.
"Oh um...bye!" I called. That was rather fast...oh well, better get back to my room!
After some searching, I found it. Inside, sitting on the nightstand, was a plate of food and a note. I picked up the note first.
Dear Fawn,
I didn't know when you'd be coming back, so I just left food for you in your room.
From,
Jimmy
I smiled and began to eat the food, which was some steak, mashed potatoes, and corn. It felt good to have something substantial for the night.
I noticed that I didn't want to go to sleep yet though. That's when I decided to work the TV. I knew how they work, more or less, as there was a public TV at the saloon in the village. But I had heard that different places had different channels.
I flicked through the channels, enjoying myself immensely with the wide variety of shows before eventually falling asleep, thinking about the Koopalings.
Lol I decided to skip the scene with Tina and Fawn sorta. I mean, I figured no one really wanted to read 2 OCs chat about a dress, and I didn't wanna write it, so lol
Lemme talk about the Koopalings a bit. So what I love about them is that even though there so loved, there's a lot of room to make their personalities. Although they do have some guidelines, there's a lot of room to create a personality. Especially with Lemmy, Iggy, and Larry.
Lemmy is sometimes depicted as weird and creepy, sometimes as childlike. I went with the later, as I decided that Iggy was better for the insane and weirdness. I considered make him shy, like some ppl do, but I was like 'Fawn and Luigi are awkward enough...'
And Larry, by far, has the vaguest personality out of them all. Basically what's known: 'He cheats a lot'. So I decided to work with that and create a thief sort of archetype. A real charismatic charmer, but also intelligent and sly, still loving to steal and cheat.
Well, that wraps it up. Read, review, follow, favorite, which I've been getting more of! :D
