Heere we gooo!

It was a peaceful day in the Mushroom Kingdom. The clouds were smiling, the flowers were jumping, and the mushroom-headed Toad people were commencing about their daily business.

Mario had received an invitation to Princess Peach's castle to celebrate the recent defeat of Bowser once again and to partake in the eating of Peach's famous cake. Mario had been waiting for this day for the last week, and so he quickly started running to the castle.

Mario's shoes clicked against the brick tiles along the path, bouncing over Goombas and grabbing coins in the sky. The path to the Mushroom Kingdom is just-a beyond this pipe, Mario thinks as he jumps on top of the large green pipe and enters it.

The pipe slowly decended from the ground as if from nowhere, and Mario emerged from it. But he did not find himself in the Mushroom Kingdom, oh no.

In front of him was a large mouse, only slightly shorter than Mario himself.

Mickey coughs theatrically. "'What is your name?'"

Mario looks around the area, slightly puzzled. He looks to the mouse and states in his typical excited tone, "It's-a me, Mario!"

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.

Mario thought about this for a moment. "Ah to save-a the princess..."

"'What is the average w..?'" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. "'If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?'"

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"

Mario had never given questions like these much thought. He hesitated for a moment. "Three wishes... For all-a the people in the Kingdom to be-a happy, for the princess to-a always be safe..." Mario thought long about the 3rd choice. "For me and the Princess to live-a happily ever after..."

Mickey looks rather nonplused at the next, but reads, "'When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?'"

Mario looks very confused by this question. "I would-a help everyone I could to find food... I would fight against-a any enemy!"

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"

"A..ah... Any will-a do, I've-a never been one for-a sweets. How about-a some pasta?"

"'Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. "'Explain.'"

"The Koopa Bros. were-a ninjas, and they weren't-a such bad guys after they left-a Bowser... and I once met some Shy Guy pirates who were-a quite silly... I guess those two will-a do?"

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?'"

Mario pulls out a rather large hammer that couldn't possibly have fit in his back pocket, shrugs, then puts it back in his pocket.

((OOC: Why, it's the one and only Mario of Super Mario Bros. fame! No particular point in the story, since Mario's canon has never been hugely solid to begin with. You can imagine it to take place after anything that's already happen and anything that will happen, I suppose. This is also my first LJ RP so I don't know *exactly* how everything works, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. =) ))

Holy crap, it's Mario.

Katou stares, and stares, and stares, completely dumbstruck.

((....XDDD Love.))

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario curiously looks at the fellow before him. Not really one for words, he just smiles.

[katou-moon.livejournal.com]

Somehow, "I play your games on my friends NES and SNES all the effing time, especially when I'm high, I've totally beat them all too," doesn't seem like a great conversation opener.

Instead, he opts for standing there, mouth opening and closing, not unlike a fish, before he turns around, mutters something about leaving some oven on, and leaving.

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario raises an eyebrow as he watches the stranger wander off.

He hopes not everyone around here is quite this unusual.

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. A Royalist of some sort. John is instantly on his guard. This man could be a spy for England. He bows politely.

"Good day to you, sir."

((Welcome to the game! We're always glad to have new players. You're doing a wonderful job so far. ♥))

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario jumps in place, an unusual "boing" noise accompanying it. He waves.

"Hello!"

((Ah, thanks! I'm kind of a little nervous, I suppose... =) ))

[john-adams-1776.livejournal.com]

John blinks on hearing the noise, but otherwise ignores it.

"Welcome to Disneyland, Mr. Mario. I presume you were on your way somewhere else when you arrived here?"

((No need for it. We're a friendly group. :D))

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario looks puzzled. This is the first time he was reminded of where he was actually going.

"The Princess-a!" He looks behind him, but the warp pipe he travelled in on is long gone. "I hope-a she's alright..."

Mario looks slightly disappointed. "The cake-a..."

[layla-serizawa.livejournal.com]

This is the first time Reira's heard anyone over the loudspeaker, since she was the newest until this guy showed up, so she naturally has to see who it is.

"Hi! Are you new here too?" she asks. Somehow, he looks familiar...

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

"Ah, hello!" Mario nods at her question, although he doesn't give very much thought at all as to just where here is.

Mario looks at this girl and smiles. Something about her reminds him of the princess.

[layla-serizawa.livejournal.com]

Reira smiles back. Well, this guy seems nice.

"Has anyone explained this place to you yet? I just got here a little while ago, and I'm still kind of confused, but some friendly people explained it to me."

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Outside of the people being more "real world normal" than Mario was used to, nothing about this place seemed terribly out of the ordinary.

"Ah, it's-a alright. I do wonder how I did-a get here though..."

Mario had never really remembered a time where a warp pipe had steered him so far off.

"Are there any pipes around-a here?"

[goddess-etherea.livejournal.com]

Rachel would never admit to having played those games but, even if she hadn't, some things were just iconic.

"Uhh. Hi. Welcome to Disneyland."

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

"Ah, hello!" Mario flashed a peace sign.

[caycep]

Cayce's reaction is not too different from Katou's. Her jaw drops, and she stares, too stunned for words.

This? Is messed up.

At least it's not the Mario from that awful movie.

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

((I don't really have any IC response for this since Mario wouldn't really... say anything, but I just want to say "XD".))

[caycep]

((^_^ Glad to amuse! And welcome!))

Cayce pulls herself together and manages a small wave. "Hi there. Um. Anyone given you the briefing yet?"

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario nods. "Quite a place it-a is, huh?"

[red-sharkey.livejournal.com]

Red's reaction upon seeing the very, very familiar form is quite simple.

"What. The. Fuck."

[fletcher-moon.livejournal.com]

Fletcher elbows his detective partner. "Don't swear," he says.

He turns to Mario with a bright smile. "Hello, Mr Mario, my name's Fletcher Moon and this is Red Sharkey. How do you do?"

Of course he recognises Mario - you'd have to live under a rock not to (or come from a universe in which Super Mario had not yet been invented). However, contrary to popular belief, Fletcher is made of quite stern stuff. He just doesn't like dogs.

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario expresses his distaste for the colorful language subtly, not making any expression of it outside a slight frown toward Red.

He then smiled back at Fletcher. "Everything's-a quite alright, thank you. And-a yourself?"

[red-sharkey.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, Half Moon," Red mutters. "It's just, well, shit. That's Mario. How do you expect me not to swear?"

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well, all righty then," Mickey squeaks excitedly. "Are you ready to find out which of our excitin' lands you're gonna live in?"

[redcapwonder.livejournal.com]

Mario jumps with an ever familiar boing, then nods in an exaggerated manner.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"I was thinkin' you'd be real happy in Adventureland..." Mickey says.
