When Dimentio had finally found the room, there was already talking from inside. He opened the door and saw Sora and a blond haired man inside.
"Is this the right room? Floor six, room six?"
Sora nodded. "Yup! Are you supposed to be my new roommate?"
"I wish I was not...And who is that?"
"I'm Link," the other guy said, waving. "I'm fixing up my bow, give me a second."
"What happened to it?"
"The string snapped in the last battle. The arrow went off flying and I think I hit the Mailbird with it."
Dimentio raised an eyebrow. "Mailbird?"
"Yep, we've got a Mailbird. It's how people get their invitations sent to them."
Dimentio dropped his small bag on the ground. "Well, I suppose I am finished in here then."
"We're going to head up to lunch in a minute," Sora said. "You can come with us, if you want."
"Food does sound good..."
Link finished tightening the string and tested it. "Right, that's good." He stood up. "Alright, we can go."
While walking, Link decided to ask Dimentio a few questions.
"So, are you new or did you change rooms?"
"You can change rooms?"
"After a few years, yeah. I decided to switch rooms with Hero because I thought Sora could use a Veteran with him until he gets the hang of things here. I have to say, he picks up on things pretty fast."
The room was pretty packed, but there was still plenty of room for people to walk around, and many tables for them to sit. Dimentio noticed Bowser sitting with a red haired man with a long nose, and a man with silver hair.
"Bowser is here." He went over to him. "Hello, Bows-what the heck is that creature?!"
"Pika pika!" The yellow creature said.
"Don't be mean! That's Pikachu!" Bowser shoved a forkful of food into his mouth. "And where's Fawful at? I thought he was following you."
Link and Sora came over, and Link waved to the man with red hair. "Hey, Ganon."
"Link! That your new roommate?"
He nodded. "Yep. Since you know Bowser, I'm going to assume you're from the Mushroom Kingdom. Right?"
"Why yes, I am!" Dimentio boasted. "And I nearly defeated Mario as well!"
"You think that's impressive?" Olly ran over, carrying his tray of food over his head. "I almost beat Bowser with nothing but my physical strength!"
"You were a giant," Bowser said. "That doesn't count!"
"So were you. I would have beat you too, if Mario didn't help."
"Fawful made Bowser fat!" Fawful claimed joyfully. "Fawful made him do a inhaling of the Mushroom Kingdom!"
"Uh...more villains I guess?" Link shrugged.
"About time," Ganon sighed. "There's too many good guys here."
Luigi walked over. "What are we doing?" He saw Dimentio. "Oh, uh...hi."
"Hello..." He waved half-heartedly. "You are here as well. For the whole fight thing. Great."
"Yeah. Great."
"Piiika?" Pikachu tilted his head, ears flopping to one side.
"Uh...bye." Luigi walked back to Mario, and they both sat down. Luigi glanced over at Dimentio.
"Bye." He rubbed his head. "Uhg...Why can I not talk to him anymore? Why have things turned out this way after I apologized? I thought he would be excited? Was I wrong? Did I ruin any chance of friendship with We-Luigi?"
"I think he thinks it's weird," Olly said. "After all, you did some pretty...unforgivable things. Mind control? Corrupting him? Making him attack his brother? Let's not forget about what you did as Super Dimentio!"
"Yes, let us forget that. Remember, I promised to change, in turn I keep a secret locked tight. If anybody mentions that again, I will go on a murderous rampage."
"Anyways...I'm sharing a room with Fox and King Dedede. What about you?"
Dimentio motioned towards Sora and Link.
"Oh! Hello Sora! I didn't see you there!"
"Yep, Dimentio's my roommate now." Sora started off. "I'm gonna go grab some food. I'll be right back!"
"Me?" Bowser asked. "I share a room with Robin and the Pokemon Trainer."
"I have Captain Falcon and Dark Pit," Ganon said.
"Pika pika!"
"He's with Sephiroth," Bowser said. "And I think he also shares a room with Wario?"
"Wario?" Olly asked. "The Toad didn't mention him when he mentioned the other fighters from the Mushroom Kingdom."
"If you have a seperate well-known thing you did," Link said, "then they count you for that. Wario's known for his minigame collections, so he's sorted into that group with Waluigi."
"And Yoshi has his adventure with baby Mario," Bowser said.
"Waluigi? Waluigi's here? So we practically have everybody here, huh?" Olly tapped the bottom of his tray. "Cool! I'm going to have to catch up with them! I only know them because they tried to rob my castle once." He turned around and held up his hand. "Farewell for now." He flew to Mario and Luigi.
Link and Sora, who had just come back, waved bye to the table and went to an empty one nearby. Link left to get some food, leaving Dimentio with Sora for a bit. Sora's tray had a pile of hot dogs on it.
Dimentio gave him a weird look.
"Aren't you going to get something to eat? The longer you wait, the more the good stuff's going to run out."
"I think I am fine..."
"But, you have a training session right after this. I think it'll be good if you eat something. Oh, here!" He held out a hot dog to Dimentio. It slid out the bun a bit. "You can have one of my hot dogs!"
He pushed it down from his face. "I think I am good..."
Link came back, holding two trays. "Here, I got you one too." He put it in front of Dimentio. "I was sure what you wanted, so I got you one of everything."
Dimentio lifted up half of a slice of pizza. "Does any of this lack lactose? I think I am going to be sick..." He dropped it and wiped off his hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't know that you were lactose intolerant! I can get you a new one-"
"It is alright, Link. I can...manage." He grabbed a fork and started poking at things to get the cheese from the pizza off of it.
"Are you sure? I don't think anybody here is lactose intolerant, but if I tell Master Hand about this then he might be able to do something for you."
"Master Hand?" He accepted the hot dog from Sora, since everything on his plate was practically covered in cheese. "Who is that?"
"The person in charge of this place. He uses the name Ed Shawn Brown on the letters, because somebody named Master Hand is kind of a weird way to start off a day. He'd already accidentally scared somebody off with it."
"So...that implies that he lives up to his name."
Sora nodded. "Yup. He's a giant hand. He kind of intimidates the Inklings and Octolings though..."
Dimentio looked at his hand. "Hm." He slid his mask up a bit and took a bite of the hot dog Sora gave him.
"You have fangs?! Cool!"
He nearly choked.
"Huh." Link took a sip of water. "I thought you were human."
Dimentio started coughing. "Ooh...my throat...Ow..."
"How bad is your allergy?"
"I have no intention of finding out. I already broke out in hives once. That was possibly the tenth worst day of my life."
"Tenth?" Sora asked, concerned.
"Terrible things happen to you as you age, Sora. And I know I am getting old because sitting down too long hurts my back..." He stretched. "But c'est la vie!"
"You speak French?" Link asked.
"Yep. I learned it when I went to a world in the Middle of the Renaissance..."
The doors crashed open and a giant, gloved hand floated inside. "Who here came in today as a newcomer?!"
Olly raised his hand. "Ooh, me! Me!"
Fawful's hand shot up as well. "Fawful did!"
"Uh..." Dimentio found no other choice, and also raised his hand. "Me as well, Master Hand."
"You three. My office. Now."
"Ooh, you're in trouble!" Young Link teased.
"Good luck!" Mario said.
"Should I be worried?" Dimentio asked.
"It's probably nothing," Link said. "Just be careful, he has a temper."
