✪ ; gone batty

@broltergust5000

— [ ✪ ] — ❝A vampire?❞ Somewhat incredulous, yet mostly just curious, the Coach observes the other's outfit suspiciously. He is not malicious, or even particularly worried, but when rumors of real vampires persist, it can't help to be more careful.

Attention diverts itself as a group of bats fly over their heads. Strange, how he's never thought much about the creatures, yet now, the man wonders if some of them aren't more than just flying mammals. The thought manages to disturb him, though he hides it well.

❝Are you sure dressing up as one of those bloodsuckers is a good idea? I mean, they're everywhere 'round here.❞ He speaks without thinking, and of course his speech comes off as overly blunt. Nothing ill is really intended, for the other male's costume isn't that bad. If anything, he could be interpreted as being concerned. Almost.

Mario bros vs ‘crabby’ individuals (Closed - Luigi)

With Lady Lucina previously talking to him about the crabs around here apparently being dangerous - according to other Cittazen’s reports - Mario felt that as someone who wanted to look out for people here, checking up on this was really important! Hey, he COULD be serious when the time called for it. If these crabs were ‘dangerous’, then he should try and see how dangerous they were, and move some to a safer location if need be.

Of course, he really wasn’t expecting the crab’s claws to be that big! Oh my. Very big crab. Now said crab was chasing him, and he just barely got out his wooden hammer in time - the crab’s claws hitting the blunt end of the hammer rather than his nose. Jeez, Lucina hadn’t been kidding about the crabs apparently being testy here!

Hey, on the bright side, he could see Luigi nearby. “Hey, bro! Want to help me move this angry crab a bit away? Kinda can’t grab it at the moment - “ 

Yeah, giving he was now having to swing the hammer about a bit to block the crab’s assault  which was far more vicious now, he couldn’t focus on grabbing it - but Luigi should be able to take the crab by surprise, giving it was focused on trying to pinch himself?

Fireworks? (closed - Luigi)

With the fireworks set up for the entire city a few days back, Mario felt that it had been like the fireworks back home, almost, to see celebrations like that once more: but they weren’t nearly as large or impressive. Okay, so setting off fireworks at any other time may be illegal, and he wasn’t going to do that. There had to be some way he could pull a ‘prank’ that would enable everyone to enjoy Mushroom Kingdom fireworks or celebrations, though. He just couldn’t think of one alone, and a thought occurred to him.

He should totally ask bro! He always had good ideas. Talking with Luigi face-to-face seemed simpler than going by phone (he could easily find Luigi due to following the bond that let him know where he was) - so - off the red-hat went, a-searching for his little brother. Yes, he felt sure - even if it backfired in the end, just as with any time they worked together - if they worked together on a prank to make people of citta smile, it’d be all the more awesome!

Now, the question here was - just what sector was bro at today...? It might take a while to track the end of the bond down.

A Serious Mario for once? (Closed - Luigi)

Now, with a few things after that general Bullet Bill wreck of a ‘ situation’ the entire city had been involved in being clear in his mind: there were many people the red cap felt he really did need to contact: for one, try to find people who helped the city, because while he HAD managed to kick the butts of a few mirror shadows - it hadn’t really been the most organized or well-thought out. Or safe, for that matter. He kind of begrudgingly admitted that now. (Hey, how was he supposed to have time to think out complex plans when the city was all going to the Dark World around them?!)

The second was someone he knew he needed to find, before anyone else. Even before any other fellow ‘city helpers’, because if what he’d figured out was true: they had to have a conversation about it, as none of this would have weighed lightly on them, just as much as it weighed heavy on and confused himself. 

So, thanks to the directions a friend of this person had given him a while back, he had managed to leave a letter on their doorstep.

Written in red, it said a few simple, serious words.

‘Meet me at the entrance to District Delta at twelve o clock. We need to talk.’

The person who read those words, who it was intended for-  would no doubt sense the urgency...he was a lot less formal with letters, usually, but...this was a topic that had to be treated with an adult responsibility, as much as he wished he could playfully jump around and solve things that way.

Sighing, he folded his arms as he waited for that person...his little brother. When WAS the last time he’d had to be so serious around his bro like this, gosh...ah. He remembered. When he’d been shouting for help inside THAT painting, and he forced back the memory. Yeah, no. This conversation was serious enough without thinking about those times...

“Hopefully, bro comes here on time. I hope it’s not too hard a spot to-a get too...” 

Mumbling to himself, there.

Chapter Two - The shared desire of red to protect - (Closed: Mirror!Luigi)

As he set off at a run through the city: those who had come into the Hive through the portals had clearly wasted no time in laying waste to and attacking those of the city: already, the bodies of countless lay in the streets, buildings had holes in them - it was like walking into the Shroob-infested Toad Town all over again. “Mama mia - I can understand the want-a they must have to exist, but this is intense.” Shaking his head crossly, Mario kept running: it was dangerous to stay in one place too long with things the way they were.

However, a soft, hurt cry for help cut his attention short: it was coming from an alleyway nearby? If there was someone in danger - he had to help them, of course! Actually...now that he thought about it, he felt...strong again. Like all the powers the scientists had taken had come back to him...well, that was sure handy! He’d probably need it at a time like this. Running onto the alley, it seemed that some of those...robots, or whatever those ‘drones’ were - had been here: leaving a stranger he didn’t know bleeding, and with some of his clothes shredded around him.

The stranger was still conscious, though! “Hey, hey! Come on-a, don’t close your eyes. You gotta stay awake: falling asleep when you’ve lost-a blood is a bad idea.” (Thank goodness for his medical knowledge as Doctor Mario, there.) Tipping his hat in thought, he managed to pick up some of the shredded clothing around the stranger, and bind the wounds. Phew. They shouldn’t lose any more blood, but it was a temporary fix at best. They really needed to get to the hospital.

The stranger suddenly spoke up again as the short man did his best to pick them up, face paling. ‘beh...nd....u...’

“Beh ‘nd what-a now? I don’t-a get it...you’re using up energy, you should not talk...oh, wait! I know what you mean! Behind me!” Cheerful statement at first, but then Mario realized with a start what that might mean, and turned to face...a stranger with clothes that seemed incredibly familiar, but he couldn’t place his finger on how yet - the garb was just too different. 

“Er...so, I’ve heard of ‘ picking up chicks’, but I guess I came here to...pick up a stranger, right?” 

Oh boy. Mario and his bad jokes. But the joke was made to try and test just how volatile this stranger was...were they from the other hive city, or not? A bad joke seemed a better way than trying to yell at the guy with an injured person in his hands.
