World 1-1

[king-of-koopas.livejournal.com]

Bowser, acting as Zetta's VERY reluctant minion thanks to a bet gone horribly, horribly wrong, has been keeping himself busy by doing heavy lifting and drudge labor for the past couple of months... while complaining loudly, dragging his clawed feet, and generally being as obnoxious as possible, which helps explain WHY this state of affairs has dragged on for so long.

Shore leave is no different, especially since Zetta somehow managed to earn himself boatloads of money to play with.

Right now, Bowser's SUPPOSED to be hauling a small mountain of Zetta's purchases back to the ship posthaste. Instead, he's doing his OWN shopping, which involves yelling at some unfortunate stall owner while leaving Zetta's goods haphazardly piled next to him.

"-- you've gotta be kidding me! Someone's gotta be selling lava on this dump of a planet! EVERYONE knows that a castle's almost useless without a moat of molten rock, and you're telling me that you don't have it!? What kind of shoddy business are you idiots running!? And another thing-!!"

"Is it?" Snow considered something, going silent for a moment as he recalled Stacy's reaction to him.

"Considering that ship seems pretty hardcore when it comes to keeping things in line, don't you think it'll, I don't know, intervene? If the thing's got it's own personality I don't think it'd be too happy with a guy trying to set up something like that."

... though it would certainly be something to see if Bowser tried and Stacy did in fact step in.

"Hey, if the dumb ship throws me a castle, what ELSE am I supposed to do with it? NOT fortify it!?"

By the sound of Bowser's voice, that would be as horrible a crime as making smores WITHOUT chocolate, marshmallows, AND graham crackers.

"My first thought would be to just live in it ... what, do we have robbers or something on the ship with us?"

"No, but I'm not allowing just any random riff-raff from storming my castle! If they wanna get in so badly, they're gonna have to WORK for it!" Bowser snapped back.

"Usually people just go with a secret password."

"MY secret password is 'if you can't get past these hazards, tough luck, pal.'"

"So I guess that means I can get in your castle no problem since I know it?"

Yeah, this guy was fun.

"What!? NO! The proof is that you get PAST those hazards, NOT by repeating what I just said!!" Bowser roared.
