Big lizard-thing.
❝ So uhm, Green 'Stache! I'm not so good with mushy stuff like this, but... I was thinkin' about last year's gift you handed me and... ❞ the king briefly looked sideways, handing the other a box full off homemade cupcakes for the occasion. ❝ Happy birthday... n stuff, but you better keep this our little secret and NOT tell anyone! ❞
❝ Bowser!? You made these--- just for-a me? ❞
He’s trying to resist the urge to give the big ‘ol softie a friendly hug, but he didn’t wanna push it. Bowser showing him kindness was the biggest birthday miracle he could ask for!
❝Okey-dokey, this’ll be our little secret, ya big lug! Thank-a you, Bowser-- it sure means a lot.❞
xbows said: ❝ Listen up Mario. I hate you. I hate you more than anything in fact. You've been a thorn in my side for 35 YEARS, and who knows how long we'll keep fighting until I FINALLY earn what I desire ! But despite everything, I somehow felt incapable to spend an entire day without wishing my bothersome rival a happy birthday. Enjoy it while it lasts, you insect-sized CHUMP. ❞
Good old Bowser. Always the type to put on the skin of the big bad wolf, whereas deep down inside, he was as soft as the softest sheep’s wool. He goes on about how much he hates Mario’s guts, but it seems to lose any and all meaning as it flies completely over Mario’s head - or, at least, that’s how it would appear. As Bowser speaks, a rather smug and self-satisfied grin breaks out across the plumber’s face.
“Aww, yanno, that-a makes me so happy, I’m-a touched!” he casually extends a hand to give the turtle king’s royal green shell a firm and friendly pat. If Mario was none the wiser, what he just did could be considered shaking a hornet’s nest. “Thank you so much-a! Thank you!”
it’s also why she got mad at mario at the end of odyssey. they were both shoving flowers into her face without her consent. they were acting the exact same and that did not fly with peach.
@xbows has entered the fold.
perhaps a personal invitation to peach’s castle had not been what the monarch of the koopa tribe had been expecting that day. nonetheless, it had arrived, gilded and embellished with an unfamiliar seal to boot. if that had not been OMINOUS enough, the entirety of toad town had seemingly been evacuated for bowser’s arrival, for there was not a single soul to speak of inhabiting the area. on any other day, he likely would have had an entire populace to goad and TERRORIZE; but today was no such occasion.
inside the castle, there remained an uneasy absence of individuals, the resulting solitude very well unlike anything bowser had yet seen. in spite of this, nothing stood in his way, and so it was that same nothingness that seemingly beckoned him forward.
once he had reached the central foyer, a single figure finally emerged to greet him. it was a toad, and yet... it was not. this toad did not seem cheerful, nor afraid, nor... well, anything, really. it was as if the life had been DRAINED from its folded frame, leaving behind only an autonomous husk. the intricately-creased retainer gazed at the koopa king with eyes devoid of essence, then finally broke a lengthy silence:
“ h i s r o yal m a j e s t y w i l l b e w i t h y o u i n j u s t a m o m en t . p l e a s e b e p a t i e n t . ”
with that, the toad waddled through a nearby door, even its uncanny gait speaking volumes of how irregular this all was. nevertheless, it was not long before the apparent culprit behind all this had finally decided to show his face. suspended in mid-air, he lowered himself to the center of the room - far smaller in size than bowser himself, and yet somehow equally as INTIMIDATING. in a benign tone of voice, he addressed his fellow sovereign,
“king bowser.”
@xbows: ❝ Ya still didn't snap out of it yet ? How long have you been living like this ?? ❞
『⅃』” Implying I’ll ever ‘snap out of it’ ”
Came the sarcastic reply from the black clad male,hands lightly folding against his chest as he looks over to the Koopa King. Since.....that day,L hasn’t really encountered the other and why should he honestly? Currently his main objective was to be-rid of that red copycat of his and maybe after that he’ll go after the others Kingdom,who knows~
“ Why are you so concerned about this? Worried I’ll beat you to taking out the Plumber boy hmmmm? ”
@xbows Liked for a Vacation Starter!
“Whoever said being tall was a good thing has never been to a modern amusement park.”
Eyes shifted up to the large construct of metal tracks and screaming karts high above Pinna Park’s ground level. Along with the screaming participants having the time of their lives on the ride. A special group of individuals Rosalina and Bowser were most certainly not allowed to be a part of. With their, hm, vertically-gifted selves, it was an obvious and quick decline they both faced, all because they’d both most certainly face decapitation should they climb aboard.
And, in Bowser’s case, drag the metal tracks down from their sky-high position due to his..... generous...ness.... Having the intimidation factor that allowed you to skip any and all lines didn’t mean quite as much when you couldn’t get on the blasted things to begin with.
An annoyed puff of air escaped from Rosalina’s mouth, waving the bang atop her eye. “I was hoping they’d had made some alterations since my last visit, but yet again, theme parks continue to be the bane of my existence. Do you think there’s anything we can enjoy here? Or should we give up and just head somewhere else? --Gelato Beach’s watermelon festival should be starting soon. Geno was quite excited about it, he said.”
★ @xbows asked: ❝ HEY STAR BEING ! I've had a thought that's been BURNING my ALREADY-FIERY mind for quite some time now... What happens if you wish for a MILLION WISHES ? Does it even work ?? Think about it for a second... A MILLION WISH STARS SUBMERGING THE HILL ! And ALL OF THEM are about DEFEATING MARIO ONCE AND FOR ALL l !! It sounds amazing in my head at least... ❞ // hellooo sorry I took a while !
❝ that’s actually a very good question. ❞ wait, it is?! why, yes, it actually is. this isn’t an intricacy that is blatantly ignored by the cosmos, for this kind of dilemma of wishes, granted or not, causing a dangerous influx within star hill has long been patched up. in fact, has it ever been a problem? likely not.
❝ the answer is that those wishes are put through a vetting process. imagine this. ❞ hands clasp together, both index fingers pointing towards his high-and-mightiness. ❝ say, you wish for a million of the same wish. they aren’t separated into different wishes unless any of them have largely different stipulations about them. defeating mario in a variety of ways will be condensed into a single wish. taking mario out in, say, a tennis match gets its own wish star. they’re both very different, even if they’re still about beating mario. that means a million wishes about the same end result... ends up as only one. ❞
he claps once. ❝ now, imagine this! let’s say you wanted to make a million separate wishes. hypothetically, let’s say they’re all about the same kind of thing, but they’ve managed to be separated due to an unforeseen loophole. the wish stars don’t fall without the work of us stars. we review each and every one. ever wonder why there are so many of us, and why we are all born into servitude? it’s because we’re all necessary. the amount of wishes can’t be understated! there are waves and waves of them every day, and we have to handle every single one. without that... yeah, it would be raining cats and dogs —— or stars and more stars. we make sure not to send too many at once, and any sort of wishes that need to be merged into one are. then and only then do we determine if they are good enough wishes to be granted without disrupting any sort of course of the cosmos. ❞
geno finally grins, ready to have embers spewed at him when bowser inevitably lets his loud mouth loose. ❝ —— in your case, prooobably not granted. sorry, bud. ❞ geno? actually kinda not sorry.
