❝Eugh.❞

❝Probably. Whatever those are.❞

❝I officially hate all magical talking animals.❞

❝WHAT THE SHELL DID I JUST COME BACK TO? HELLO?! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHY WOULD YOU CALL YOURSELF THAT?!❞

❝Is that a little blue metal Mario...?❞

❝WHOEVER KEEPS DRINKING THE MILK STRAIGHT OUT OF THE JUG, MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN RIGHT NOW!❞

❝Well, then I need Mamba’s contact info so she doesn’t leave you alone out here!❞

Immediate inspects her for some kind of ‘if found call this number’ tag… He might be thinking of dogs.

❝Mufasa?❞

❝WHAT?! But we need to find you someone who’s willing to take care of you!❞

❝You FORGOT your sunscreen?!❞

❝Pain?! What do you mean?!❞

❝You are PUSHING it!❞

🌺: I did way too much there:

Squint.

❝Language.❞

Bowsers eyes suddenly widened, looking back at the child, before whispering to his phone, hoping she wouldn’t hear.

❝… I love you too, bye.❞

Quickly hanging up and fully turning back to face her.

❝Hello, pointy eared child! Would you like to come back to the Koopa Kingdom for a little while?!❞

and turning back around.

❝I’m not saying KEEP the thing… I just was thinking to take her in and call the other kingdoms. See if we can pawn her off on them or something! She ain’t a Koopa, they might take her!❞

“Oy vey… FINE! But you’re are NOT having another one!”

❝I know, I know…❞

-

Kamek!

His surrogate father and person he goes to when he plans on making decisions that are likely not terribly responsible.

❝… Heeeeyyy. Uh, so I found a kid out here…❞

“ABSOLUTELY NOT! You have SEVEN including your birth son!”

❝I’M NOT-❞ glances back at the child, before lowering his voice-

❝…❞

With an audible creaking sound, and a look that could only be read as ‘this is about to be my problem now isn’t it?’ The Koopa King stared RIGHT into the nonexistent camera.

❝… I need to make a call.❞ with a thud that could shake the nearby area, he sat down. Pulling out a phone and calling-

❝… Ugh.❞

He obviously wasn’t going to do anything to frighten her. While many considered him a brute, he couldn’t be more the opposite when children were present.

❝Oh great, where are your parents?!❞

SQUINT.

❝YOU CAN MAKE A CAKE WHENEVER YOU WANT! I’ve been setting this up for SIX MONTHS!❞

❝… Oh.❞

❝… What do you hope to gain from this?❞

❝AND I’M THE BAD GUY?!❞

❝Well… Yeah! She’s Princess Peach!❞

Baggy eyes and coffee mug that says #1 Dad.

❝Dude?! I’m not a ‘dude’ I’m a king! And we’ve planned this kidnapping for six months!❞

❝I don’t stay rich by spending money recklessly!❞

❝MARIO KART IS HOW MUCH?!❞

❝You don’t know who Princess Peach is?!❞
