Out-of-character and discussion thread

Chapter list:
Prologue: Under a Starry Sky - starts here!
Prologue X: Catch a Falling Star
Chapter 1: A Fuzzy Situation
Chapter 1X: Fear No Fuzzy

One thousand years after the second Fall of the Mushroom Kingdom, its original heroes and stories have become mere legend. Life is peaceful and prosperous in the residential district of Toad Town. Today is 'Shroom 1, 1000 A.F., and the legends of old say that one of the Power Stars - magic objects with the ability to make your wishes come true - will land tonight on the roof of the grandest building in all the land: Princess Peach's castle.

True or not, Peach just loves to throw parties, and she's invited Mario and Luigi, the two most competent plumbers in the country. She might have even baked them a cake. But, of course, this is not their story.

No, it's your story. You are part of the Princess' specialized security detail. High-ranking military officers, if you will. The word on the street is that nefarious King Koopa, Bowser, believes in the legend of the falling Power Star, and may attempt to storm Peach's castle to steal it. Even if the legend is bogus, you've got to keep watch at the party. After all, the events tonight could be the start of your... Second Story.





Just under an hour before midnight...

It's a quiet night in Princess Peach's castle. Many of the invited guests did not show up, and the Princess herself has yet to make an appearance. Perhaps Toad Town's residents were fearful of another Koopa Troop invasion. Whatever the reason, the guests who came and stayed have finished dancing and toasting. Idle chatter and rumors of the falling Power Star now fill the room.

Standing around at their posts in a corner, the Royal Guard awaits the Princess' entrance so they may get on with their job and protect her to the best of their abilities. A door opens, and they all turn toward the raised platform leading to a private section of the castle. However, instead of the Princess, a Toad with a yellow-brown theme and spectacles above his fine white 'stache walks out. He approaches the Guard and begins to speak as the guests back away, aware of his rank.

The refined Toad touches his spectacles then looks down at a sheet of paper. Finally, he looks back up and addresses the Royal Guard members.

: "Um, yes. Yes yes. I'm Commander Toadsworth, Commander-in-chief of the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Guard. First of all, thank you all for staying out so late. Our 'No Mingling With Civilians' order must be such a drag at times like this."

Toadsworth studies each of the warriors as he speaks, eyeing their weapons and armor for an uncomfortably long time.

: "Secondly: we've received intelligence stating an unidentified airship was sighted just sixty south-southwest of the castle. I'm bringing the Princess down momentarily - this is the safest room in the whole building, after all. Yes yes. Be back."



Toadsworth almost heads back up the stairs, but stops and turns around.

: "I almost forgot: I so rarely deal with individual soldiers. As we'll be working together closely tonight, it's best we get to know each other a little. I know your names, so why don't you tell me how you got here? Always fascinating to hear, yes yes."

Ochita pushed some of her hair out of her face, and gave a curt nod.

"I was hired after helping to protect a caravan out near the border, partly because of my efforts, and partly because I happen to be a fairly good mage. Mostly using aquamancy, but I am looking into healing magics as well. Its a honor to be here."

Tanky moved one of his little hands up and presented a salute.

"I joined the elite guard in a while, at most of occasions I was just working as a bodyguard and on the front lines, mostly guarding the gates during the night! And like most of snifits.. I just know how to make a big boom!""

Inezach stands at attention, but surveys the room and the people in it while talking.
"I've always been good at racing, but I like helping people too. I thought running around after the Princess to make sure she's safe would be a good job for me. The food's always great around here, too." He grins.

Vilhelmas is leaning against the wall, his mace dangling from his belt, and his right hand is in his pocket, the skin not visible between the sleeve and the pocked.

Teressa snapped to attention as soon as the commander had spoke and still hadn't relaxed, eyes constantly darting around the room to look for danger. When they were asked a question, she glared at the others for a moment for acting so casually to their commander while on the job and replied curtly.

"Sir! I trained with my mother for this job, and when I came of age I signed up. It's something of a family tradition, sir! I've been doing this job for 4 years now, sir!"

Vilhelmas merely raises an eyebrow at the glare of the 6'7'' woman made of muscles.

A small voice is heard, as Boothany materializes beside Ochi, smiling shyly.

"Um, h-hello everyone! B-B-Bethany Boo, here." she said, with minimal stutter. "I'm a swordsboo, see? I used to be a Pira...er, private entrepreneur. Now I work for the Mushroom Kingdom, my contract on loan from Sarasaland. N-n-nice to meet you all!" She says, vanishing right after.

Ochita pushed some of her hair out of her face, and gave a curt nod.

"I was hired after helping to protect a caravan out near the border, partly because of my efforts, and partly because I happen to be a fairly good mage. Mostly using aquamancy, but I am looking into healing magics as well. Its a honor to be here."

"Ooh, magic? I always love a good show...are you the type that can blow people to bits?" she mentioned to him, feeling a bit of natural explosive envy.

Ochita takes a step back, startled by the whole appearing boo, before realising that there was no danger.

"Ooh, magic? I always love a good show...are you the type that can blow people to bits?" she mentioned to him, feeling a bit of natural explosive envy.
Ochita shakes her head a little.
"I only really specialize in water magic, although it still packs a punch! Although, not the exploding kind of punch.."

Boothany blinked once, her stubby hands adjusting her bandanna.

"Well! Then leave the explosions to me, it is um-Mrs. Ochi right?

Anyway, I personally have acquired a certain subset of skills that make me a prodigy in applied explosgioneering."
She said, making up a word on the spot. "...well, I still need to work on my Boo-Bomb design to make it 'humane' under Mushroom Kingdom ordinance laws, and that might take some time."

: "Unusual. A real magi, through and through. Such a rarity these days. I'm glad to have you and the rest of your competent allies in this detail. Now, just a moment..."



Toadsworth walks up the stairs and knocks on the door to the private section.

: "Er, Princess! Are you dressed yet? Your guests have been waiting
hours!"


: "You watch your mouth, you little four-eyed brat! Why, when I was your age, we waited five hours in the snow for a piece of Koopa Kandy and liked it!"

: "My apologies, princess, I didn't mean- wait, 'your age?' You're barely twenty, what do you-"

~~Player Phase 1~~



CRASH!

: "Alright, Shroom Brains! You know the drill. Hold em off until His Viciousness and the rest of the Troop arrive. Be on the lookout for Mario and the other one. They always show up at times like this."

"Aye-aye!"

: "Oh, gods, we're being invaded! I failed the Princess! Royal Guard, assume battle positions. Everyone else, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

The Toad guests scatter, hopping out windows and falling down stairways to escape. It looks like Toadsworth wasn't kidding about working closely with the Royal Guard tonight.

Enemy stats!
Ally stats!

"Let's set up a defensive line!"
After waiting for a battle cry, Inezach moves right 2, then up 2, and activates Charge
