The group of three fell down into the darkness, each of them screaming from the unexpected fall. Looking below, all that was currently visible was the dark abyss. Luigi air swam his was over to Rosalina, and grabbed her arm and motioned towards Peach. Rosalina nodded, and they both started airswimming towards Peach, who was the only one still screaming(which was kinda funny to Luigi for some reason). Luigi tapped Peach on the arm, and then said, more like screamed;
"UMBRELLA!"
Peach grabbed her umbrella and told Luigi and Rosalina to lock arms with her. They locked arms with Peach in the center, and Peach took out her umbrella and opened it. Immediately the group started floating, and when Luigi looked down, he noticed that the floor had become visible.
Only a couple of minutes passed when the group landed on the ground, each weary of the up-coming puzzles.
Maybe this had been the true way to go or possibly an alternate route?
The room around the trio was made of dark obsidian, and was lit up but small glowstone shards on the walls and floor, which was made of black basalt.
Luigi tentatively walked forward, and put his gloved hands on the wall, and carefully started moving along it.
Peach and Rosalina followed his lead, and within the minute they had finished searching the walls and found nothing.
"Search the floor. There has to be something else in here, I refuse to believe there isn't a way out. Hopefully..." Luigi muttered the last part, as he walked to the center of the room and knelt down to feel the floor with his hands, only to immediately find a switch. Luigi flipped it, and on a spot on the wall a shining door appeared. The door had stars all over it, and was a nice pure white color.
Luigi stood up, and brushed himself off, just in case there was dirt or dust or something on the floor. The trio stood in front of the door, and as the three stood there, the door opened revealing the next room. Luigi walked in first, with Peach following and Rosalina entering last. As soon as she did, the door closed and disappeared behind her.
Below their feet, a pink tile gleamed. the entire room's floor covered in multi-color tiles. There was a small sign were the door used to be. It read: "Pink tiles do nothing. Red Tiles are impassible. Blue tiles do nothing unless you are banana scented, in which fish will bit you, or you cannot get across if you smell like apples. Yellow tiles make you smell like bananas. Crimson tiles make you smell like apples. Gold tiles shock you, and if next to a blue tile will make it electric water. Grey tiles will move you three tiles ahead."
"Weird puzzle, right?" commented Luigi.
"Never seen something like this before. It's extremely random." Peach replied.
"The instructions seem easy enough, am I correct in thinking this?" Rosalina said.
"Maybe to you, Rosalina, but still, this is a large room." Luigi said, scanning the room. On the furthest side, aka across from them, was the door. This door was a deep Black, like the complete opposite of the previous door.
"Who wants to go first?" Peach said, trying to get someone else to do it so she could follow their lead. Personally Peach didn't get the puzzle at all and was quite confused.
"I will." Luigi said, stepping off onto the pink tile in front of him. surrounding him were 2 blue tiles one on each side, one red on the top left, and the two others were yellow. He stepped onto the yellow tile, and the smell of bananas instantly hit him. The smell was quite overpowering. From there on out, it seemed quite easy. Walk here, go there, step onto this, backtrack. It took Luigi perhaps 30 minutes or more just to finish and finally reach the door. He turned back to the girls, who started to follow the pattern that Luigi went in.
After about and hour, Rosalina and Peach finally reached the door. "Took you long enough." Luigi smirked and the 2 sent glares his way. He laughed, and proceeded to open the next door.
Mario was cursing himself. How could he have been so ignorant? There probably were tons of traps, but Mario and Co. had not encountered or maybe just got lucky in not encountering anything.
As he fell, he wondered how the others were doing. They probably had already met up and gone on without him, thinking he would be fine on his own.
Stupid reputation.
Mario always loved having company on various adventures, and this was no different. He always felt lonely whenever he was separated from a group or in general just being by himself. Mario was a very social person, and his reputation named him fearless, etc, etc. But in times like this, well...
Mario worried. Yes, worried. Mario was very unemotional, but more as in he liked to keep his emotions to himself, keeping himself guarded from others by keeping his emotions in check. In reality, Mario worried about everyone. His friends and most especially his brother, Luigi. He was glad to see that Luigi at least was a bit braver, but probably attempting to hide his inner emotions, just like Mario.
He hoped not. These hidden emotions can tend to burst out all at once. It had happened once to Mario, but he managed to get away before yelling at someone and instead burnt a tree down.
Yay, arson.
As he fell, Mario's thoughts wandered. Mostly to get away from those previous thoughts. His reputation may say he can hold his own, but still. He was still weak inside.
Mario snapped from his thoughts and looked down. The black abyss below him wasn't exactly making him hopeful. Maybe if he slowed his fall something would happen.
He checked his inventory.
Earlier from Peach's party, Peach had given him a large picnic blanket to keep at his house. Convenient.
He selected the blanket, and the blanket appeared in his hands in a position so it wouldn't go flying because Mario was falling.
He took the edges of the blanket and suddenly spread it out above him, and it caught the air and slowly Mario started difting downwards. He glanced down again, and was relieved to see a slightly lighter shade of black, which implied ground. Within 30 minutes he landed, and looked around.
The room was lit up with glowstone and was made out of obsidian. He glanced around.
No door. Probably a hidden switch. He walked to what he assumed was the middle of the room, and felt the ground.
Just like he thought.
He pulled the switch, and walked through the white door.
A/N If you were wondering, Mario fell for about three hours, while the trio fell for about one hour. Mario is taking the same route, but will catch up eventually and EYYYY I'M BACK!
WITH LINE BREAKS!
yup
see ya next week!
(HOPEFULLY)
