Koops nodded quickly, realising the boos attention was caught by mention of scary places. Perhaps recounting his travels with his friends- no, his family, would help ease the tension between them?

“Well, I- I’m not sure who KB is but- but we fought a dragon once, we saved my father from her… and the Creepy Steeple, that was… well, creepy. Haunted by boos, like you! And a Duplighost…” He shudders a little at the thought.

“But the worst was definitely the Palace of Shadows… it… it was awful… but if you’re curious about any of them I could tell you more? Perhaps?” He figures recounting the tales could help, it certainly seemed Douboole would enjoy them.

“AN ENTIRE DRAGON?!” 

Okay, now Douboole was smiling. Just like any old kid, he was easily impressed by any cool thing you threw at him, which made him too impressed to keep up his confrontational ways.

“WOW, THAT SOUNDS SO COOL! IT MUST HAVE BEEN AN EPIC SHOWDOWN!!”

He moved about a bit in the air before stopping closer to Koops, looking at him expectantly.

“Yeah, tell me all about it!! The dragon, the steeple–even that palace!”

[shell-toss]

He nodded quickly, seeing Douboole's almost palpable enthusiasm. He’d certainly gotten his attention, a relief considering how angry he’d been only minutes ago.

“It was terrifying but... I don’t regret it for a second. In defeating her we saved my father.” His voice took on an ever so slight tone of pride. His father was immensely proud of him for taking on such a beast, and that made him proud of himself.

“I’d be happy to! Which do you want me to start with?”

“Well of course you can’t let everyone in but- but allowing some people to see how you uh…” He pauses. He would’ve said Live but.. well they’re NOT living so… “See your culture, and things like that..”

“It- It is? I- I’m sorry then uh…” He holds his hands together and looks away anxiously.

“I got told it was a nice place to visit… which it is. I- I just need to be more brave, that’s all. I’ve been in much scarier places but still…”

Well, the mention of even scarier places certainly caught the kid’s attention. Almost immediately, he went frown scowling at Koops to looking at him incredulously. How easy it was to get him to shift tracks.

“What? Scarier than this place? But KB is here, and he’s top-tier scary!! What kind of places have you been to?”

He then froze, realizing just what had flown out of his mouth. Nobody was supposed to know that, oh no! Maybe he’d get lucky and Koops wouldn’t know what he meant by the nickname?

[shell-toss]

Koops nodded quickly, realising the boos attention was caught by mention of scary places. Perhaps recounting his travels with his friends- no, his family, would help ease the tension between them?

“That’s a relief… they’re still pretty spooky though..” Admitting that to the only kind of ghost unaffected by the Moon probably wasnt a good idea… but he trusts that he won’t be attacked because of it.

“Annoying? In uh… what kinda way?” He’s also hoping that the young boo will come around to him, eventually. If he’s kind.

“That’s a good name, it’s real nice to meet you! Uh- Fending off? I’m not a threat! I won’t need to be fended off…”

“They’re annoying in the same way you mortals are! Getting all up in our space and not knowing the meaning of ‘go away!’ We can’t just let everyone who wants to float or walk through the mansion, now can we?” Was his huffy response.

“You may not actively try to cause harm, but your presence is enough of a problem.” He finished before crossing his arms.

“But if you think they’re spooky, what are you doing taking a walk smack-dab in the middle of their territory? Even a Greenie could see a problem with that logic!”

[shell-toss]

“Well of course you can’t let everyone in but- but allowing some people to see how you uh...” He pauses. He would’ve said Live but.. well they’re NOT living so... “See your culture, and things like that..”

He took a small step back when the small ghost began shouting. He certainly hadn’t intended to anger him, but it definitely looked like he had… he wasn’t exactly intimidated by him, but he knew better than to think someone weak just because they were small.

“Oh- I- I didn’t mean- I’m sorry- I’m uh.. quite sure you could!” Truth be told, he’s not entirely sure he believes that. He’s handled many great enemies in the past… he could probably handle a boo, even alone?

“I- Well yes, I’ve just been hiding from them… but I- I didn’t think they were a threat?” He’d been told they were mostly peaceful, but… that might have changed?

“I’m Koops, what uh.. what’s your name?” He’s hoping showing some friendliness will show the Boo he doesnt have to worry about him. 

A Koopa named Koops. How… Original. Then again, who was he to judge, with ‘boo’ right there in his name.

But dang, looks like he knew about Evershade Valley, after all. Guess he couldn’t chase him off with just that. Then again, so long as he kept going down the path he was on and kept away from the mansion, Douboole probably wouldn’t have to worry about anything.

“Nah, you’d be right. It’s just us Boos who aren’t affected by it, most of the other ghosts are pretty nice. Though annoying.” He grumbled.

“But the name’s Douboole! I’m keeping an eye on these parts to fend off living beings like you!”

Koops didn’t have to know he was shirking work, right?

[shell-toss]

Koops had realized, very quickly, that autumn might not have been the best time to take his trip to Evershade Valley. Even with the Dark Moon hanging in place above the valley the various ghosts were still giving the anxious koopa quite the scare, even if they weren’t intending to. 

The shimmering crystal should have been a reassuring sight for all visitors to the Valley… but he found the purple glow quite ominous, if anything. It kept him on edge, even during the day and evening, when there were other sources of light around.

He was following one of the many paths, keeping alert with the afternoon sun casting dim light and stretching shadows. He noticed the signpost and was about to approach to read it, before the small Boo came ever so slightly into view from behind it. He stopped walking and tensed slightly.

“Uh- Hello?” He was quite wary of the Boo, any kind of ghost gave him a scare, after what had happened with Doopliss, but this one was much too small to be a threat… right? It was probably very nice! “You uh.. Don’t… Don’t need to worry! I’m not- I’m not going to hurt you!”

Douboole squinted from behind the sign, a bit annoyed the Koopa had assumed he was scared of him, of all things. He wasn’t afraid of no soft-shelled living being! And he would prove it!

“Like I’m scared of you!” He snapped, coming into view. “I could take you with one hand behind my back if I wanted!”

He puffed his cheeks, trying to seem as imposing as possible. He was secretly hoping to try and emulate a bit of King Boo’s intimidating demeanor, but that was kind of hard given he was so small.

“The heck are you doing all the way out here, anyway? Don’t you know ghosts will be wandering about soon?”

Yeah, he knew the other residents of the valley–the ghosts that weren’t white, spherical, and working for the King–were peaceful compared to Boos, but maybe this guy didn’t know that.

“What’s your name, mortal?”

[shell-toss]

He took a small step back when the small ghost began shouting. He certainly hadn’t intended to anger him, but it definitely looked like he had... he wasn’t exactly intimidated by him, but he knew better than to think someone weak just because they were small.

@shell-toss sent in  🍂 for an autumn-themed starter (accepting) !

“Aw man, how come I’m stuck with clearing up all the leaves? Doesn’t Booberry usually handle this stuff?” Douboole groaned as he swept the rake his was carrying back and forth. 

It was a rather quiet afternoon on the mansion grounds, which was admittedly a blessing considering how hectic things had been lately. The only thing that disturbed the peaceful silence was the young Boo, who would grumble to himself every now and then as he did his work.

“Man, I hate chores!” He scoffed, pausing for a moment. “Who cares if the mansion’s got leaves all around? Isn’t looking abandoned part of being spooky?”

He continued to mutter under his breath before glancing down the dirt path in order to see how much work he had ahead of him. Booloney had told him to do all that he could before the sun went down, but he hadn’t really made that much progress.

“This would go a lot faster if I had Troub and Ribb to help.” He finally sighed. But unfortunately, Trouboole was helping in the backyard, and Ribboon was being given some space for the time being. 

“Or–Hey wait a minute!!”

Why didn’t he think of this before? He could just make some of his copies do all the work! Yeah, and he can poke around the valley, something he hardly ever got to do!!

So, in a few puffs of green, three different duplicates of Douboole were now working away at the leaves, blindly doing what their creator had instructed them to do and leaving Douboole free to wander around.

He decided to follow the path out of the woods for a short while, until he came to another road that it joined up with, the two going off deeper into Evershade Valley. He recognized this road, having followed it with his siblings at one point, but he had only gone in one direction–away from the valley. What surprises awaited him in the other direction, he wondered?

Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to find out, because he soon heard footsteps approaching. Panicking, Douboole darted behind a rather rickety signpost, hoping the boards would be enough to hide him from view until he could read the situation.

“Just who the heck is that?” He mumbled to himself when he peeked around the sign.

(Hi this is @shell-toss! Saw the wake up the muse thing and I'm here.) Koops had found the young monarch asleep. On his doorstep. He decided to start with a gentle tap to the shoulder and quiet words. "Uh- Hello?"

My muse is asleep. Go into my ask box and wake them up however you’d like.

Junior was so sleepy. The weather seriously made him fall asleep due to feeling so comfortable. Being still young, the koopa prince couldn’t help it and ended sleeping before even knocking. The kid had next to him some invitations. 

Upon feeling the gentle tap, he opened his eyes slowly and turned to look what was going on. “U-uh? Wha-? Is it time to eat, papa?” he said to then remember where he was last time. The tyke gasped and looked at the koopa.

“M-My-! I-I’m sorry! I must have fallen asleep here! Ugh, this is embarrassing for someone like me!” he said in surprise. “Oh! R-right!” he added, grabbing again the invitations. “I’m going to make a party. Papa says I need to make more friends, especially koopas! So… um, I wanted to invite you all from this village…” Junior said, offering him the invitation. 

[shell-toss]

He smiled a little when the young monarch finally woke up, quite concerned for his safety if he was honest. Chuckling quietly when addressed as "papa" and shaking his head.

"You- You must be thinking of a- uh- another Koopa, I'm not your, eh- 'Papa', sorry. But if you're- uh- hungry I probably have something in the- in the fridge...?" He smiled and shook his head to the apology. "No- No need! As long as- as you're alright?"

Receiving an invitation to a party certainly came as a surprise. He hesitated a moment before taking the invitation. This was a perfect opportunity to overcome more of his anxieties! ...Probably.

"Oh! Uh- Uhm- Yeah! I'll- I'll be there!"

@shell-toss is on the moon, apparently.

          Well, someone took a wrong turn. What was a turtle doing on the moon? Then again, he was one to talk, being the only pyrokinetic bird in the midst of a bunch of penguins. He looked pretty out of place, too, but this turtle – an almost embarrassingly visible blur of untainted color in this monochromatic hellhole – even more so.

          So he did what he shouldn’t have done, or ever even considered to do: zip on through the crowd of penguins and pull the poor turtle into the nearest alleyway.

          Conductor, no. Why?

          “It ain’t safe ‘ere.” He mumbles under his breath. Conductor, these penguins have their reasons not to like you. “What’re 'ye doin’ 'ere, lad?”

[shell-toss]

He, in fact, hadn't taken a wrong turn. He'd actually taken a Cannon but that wasn't the point. He'd wanted to visit the moon again ever since coming up the first time to rescue the princess, he hadn't had a chance to take in the admittedly incredible sights the first time.

However he hadn't considered landing on a slightly different SIDE of the moon. Now there was PENGUINS everywhere and he wasn't sure if he liked it so much anymore. He instinctively yelps when he's dragged away through the crowds and when they both stop in the alleyway he yanks his hand back and takes a couple steps backwards.

"I- I just- I just wanted to- to look around- I don't-" He was trying his best to form a coherent sentence, he really was, but this was all just a little bit too much for the poor Koopa.

[askdetectivefirespirit-deactiva]

          This is going to function as a starter call! It also means the ask box is now open for business! Like/reblog this bad boy for a starter, though!

(Hi this is also @shell-toss and yo that Masks prompt list you reblogged looked RAD and I'd love to do an rp with the Rage one. I just love angst what can I say xD if you could perhaps do a starter for it if/when you want that'd be cool!!)

Subaru is going crazy! Earlier, he found a strange mask that connected to his face on its own. Now, Subaru is rampaging through Koopa Village, destroying houses and trees with his own Star Power. “AARRRGHHH!!!”

[shell-toss]

Koops was only visiting Koops Village, having heard about it on his travels with Mario, but seeing it suddenly getting destroyed he knew he had to do SOMETHING. He’d do the same in Petalburg.

“H-HEY! Stop right- right now! What are you doing!?”

[son-of-the-seven-stars]

Subaru, still equipped with the mask, fired a beam of Star Energy at Koops as well as a few surrounding Koopas in complete rage.

[shell-toss]

Koops yelped in surprise when he became the target of the next attack, quickly retreating into his shell to lessen the damage as best he could.

[son-of-the-seven-stars]

Subaru roared in anger as he jumped ahead in his path of destruction, firing bolts of Star Energy at anything he considers a target.

[shell-toss]

He took the quick chance to pop back out of his shell and try to get closer to Subaru, doing his best to dodge if he was targeted again, but the weight of his shell wasn’t exactly helpful with that…

[son-of-the-seven-stars]

Just then, Kalmar communicated with Koops, telepathically. “Are you a friend of Subaru’s?”

[shell-toss]

The sudden telepathy more than caught Koops off guard, retreating into his shell again. "I- Uh- I'd like to hope so..." He's never been sure when he can say he's a friend of someone's...

“Heh, you act like it’s going to be creepy or something. Come on, it’s only creepy when you make it creepy,” L snickers before shrugging and turning away. “It’s not too far from here. Not exactly in the heart of the Mushroom Kingdom and its citizens but not too far off.”

He started out towards his home, his hands going into his pockets.

[shell-toss]

"I mean... you kinda- kinda give off that vibe... not to be rude! It's... a cool vibe too!" He's silent a moment, worrying he'd caused offence. "S-Sorry bout that..."

He nods hearing the vague directions. "Sounds- Sounds good to me, I'm from a, uh, pretty small place so... yeah." Koops quickly followed the mechanic when he set off, letting him lead the way as he did with Mario.

(Hi!! This is @shell-toss [the @marios-cap mun but this time I'm RPing Koops!!] and I saw the M!A and it was cool so uhh) The Angel Wings were... quite the addition as far as Koops was concerned. Unsure what to say for a few seconds before speaking up. "W-Woah! You uh- Where'd you get those wings from?"

          “Aren’t-a they neat?” the plumber joyously boasted as he spread his wings as far as they could stretch. “I’m not-a sure how I got em, but they sure are-a cool!” 

[shell-toss]

Koops smiled widely and nodded to his friend’s question. He felt if anyone he knew were to be deserving of such wings it’d be Mario.

“I think Neat is an understatement, Mario. They’re… honestly really- uh- pretty.” He paused a moment. “So… can you- can you fly with them yet…?”

[cometmedal]

     Mario’s wings fold back in rest, and he raises his hand to scratch his chin. It was a good question, he agreed, but could he really fly with these wings? If not for inexperience, would it be either the size of his wings or his belly that’d inevitably send him crashing down?

          “…Y’know, Koops… I’m-a not sure!”

[shell-toss]

He chuckles hearing the response, he wasn't entirely sure what he expected from him, if he was honest.

"Well... why not uh- why not try? I've always thought- thought flying looked pretty- uh- cool!" He had a little jealousy reserved for Paratroopers, in a similar sense to how Goombella had always wanted the wings of Paragoombas for herself. It was just that Koops was a little more... quiet about it than her.

“It’s… Complicated, to say the least,” L comments with a small sigh. This time, it wasn’t in annoyance. It was something that was kinda strange to talk about and keep it straight with people. As far as many were concerned, he was Luigi. Then with others, they were sure he shouldn’t exist, he didn’t need to. And the idea of that possibly being true was… scary. He knew he had a reason, a purpose, somewhere. But still…

“It may be easier to explain at my place. If you’re willing to come, that is.”

[shell-toss]

He frowns hearing the vague 'explanation'. He's not entirely sure if he should've even asked the question... it seemed to bring up more than L's fair share of bad thoughts and he didn't think his question was worth that.

"O-Oh! Uh- Alright. Where uh... where is your home? Just so I kinda know where we're going."
