Ludwig Von Koopa - Super Mario Bros.

[vonkoopa]

A - Meowth, That's Right!

Why am I reduced to being a lackey again? [ Don't mind him he's just muttering to himself and his new Galarian Zigzagoon. ]

I'm a prince for goodness sake! If anything, I could be the one in charge! [ He's still sour about being called a "Grunt." And he thinks the uniforms are tacky, but he's not saying that out loud. ]


B - Choose your own adventure
[ Ludwig von Koopa is from the Super Mario world! He is one of the intimidating Koopalings, and second in command to Bowser himself! My interpretation is based off of various games, and such he's not from a specific "time", if you will. Also the Koopalings are definitely adopted by Bowser and u can't change my mind. He's a 15-year old gremlin, and I'd love for people to interact with him!! Also hi, I'm very new to this (owo;). ]

B, BABEY

[fortuna_tenax]

Hey, uh.

[ And here we have the "local" goth girl looking decidedly unimpressed while his Zigzagoon is trying to get her groceries. Must have a lot of good stuff in there! While she holds the bag high above it's head, she's getting pretty annoyed. ]

Can you get your racoon?

Re: B, BABEY

[vonkoopa]

Oh! Uh, ja.

[ He quickly moves in and carefully grabs his Pokemon in one swoop. Pretty agile! ]

Sorry about that! [ And then he starts speaking to his Zigzagoon. ] You can't just try to grab at other peoples groceries, Siggy. [ He looks back up to the "local" goth girl. ] He's just very curious, is all.

siggy pls

[fortuna_tenax]

Thank you.

[ she just wants to go home and make dinner for herself and her feral wolf boy!! universe!!! universe please!!

Honestly though it's bad enough that some of the streets are closed right now. Pokémon, what could you do? ]

... I thought those guys came in brown?

ikr, siggy chill

[vonkoopa]

No problem.

[ Siggy then crawls up Ludwig's arm and drapes himself around his neck. Comfy. ]

Ah, Siggy's from the Galar region. Apparently some regions have Pokémon that come in different varieties and types. I've never been, personally- he was a gift.

she just wants to go home and all the roads are blocked smh

[fortuna_tenax]

Oh, right, I remember hearing about other regions...

[ And if that doesn't give her away as another out-worlder, nothing will. Still, there's more pressing matters. ]

Do you know if further down the street is clear? My usual route back to my place has been closed down for some repairs and. ... I don't know what happened while I was shopping, I just know pokémon battles are ridiculous and in the city is probably not a good place for them-

roads blease

[vonkoopa]

I couldn't tell you, but it better be. I'm only staying around here for a night and I'm hoping the roads are clear for tomorrow.

[ He didn't need any other setbacks in getting to the next Rocket hideout. And don't worry, he caught that mention of "other regions." ]

...I assume you're not from this vorld either?

sighs!!!!

[fortuna_tenax]

Uggggh how is a city so small so difficult to navigate-

[ Okay! She's been dramatic. Now she's just cranky again. ]

I'm not, no. I got here the beginning of last month. Let me tell you, it sucked. Winter should be banned.

also sighs!!!!

[vonkoopa]

Hah, you're telling me. I don't know whoever thought vinter vas a good idea, but every second they're not running, I'm only getting closer.

[ He snickers. ]

I've only been here for about a few veeks myself. I'm still learning the lay of the land.

[ ...Oh, right! Introductions are important!!! He was about to hold out a hand to shake, but then stops just as quickly. Right- grocery bags. ]

Ludwig von Koopa. A pleasure.

A

[fingersandteeth]

Unfortunately, the admins don't care. I've seen them make the literal god of thieves go through Mandatory Training.

[The person replying to him looks... honestly, he looks far more like a businessman than a criminal. He's got a tie and is even carrying a briefcase.]

Re: A

[vonkoopa]

[ He perks up quickly, wide-eyed, and turns towards the other. Whoops. Maybe he needs to be a bit quieter. Though he can't help but to perk up a brow. ]

Really? Talk about bold. [ Or stupid. Maybe both. ] Though I suppose this is better than just being tossed out into the vorld with no idea vhat to do, anyvays.

[ He starts folding up his uniform and putting it away. Ludwig looks much different than a criminal himself. Probably. In a blue tailcoat suit, he looked much more like an aristocrat. Not to mention an aristocrat with spiked cuffs. Can't forget those. ]

Re: A

[fingersandteeth]

If nothing else, they give us a stipend and free room and board. We don't have to freeze our butts off trying to camp out on the road in winter. Honestly, I don't know how people don't die of hypothermia if they start out on their pokemon journey in winter.

[vonkoopa]

I can't argue vith you there. They're pretty good perks. And honestly- the lucky ones have Fire types. I hate vinter- I much prefer varmer climates.

[ Being from a kingdom surrounded with lava will do that. ]

Have you been here long yourself?

[fingersandteeth]

Mm, about a year. I'm guessing you just arrived?

[vonkoopa]

Oh, ja. It's... definitely been an adjustment. I'm still getting used to this whole... Human thing.

[ It's weird... not having a shell? But at least he can lay down on his back. Tradeoffs, man. ]

[fingersandteeth]

Oh? What were you before? [He doesn't even blink at the declaration of inhumanity.]

[vonkoopa]

I'm a Koopa! Ve're like a whole species of like... I suppose bipedal turtles? Not too unlike that Squirtle Pokémon, but of course there's various kinds of Koopa. Ve're quite strong, and some can even breathe fire and do magic, myself included! My father's the King of the Koopa Kingdom, even!

[ His chest puffs up with Koopa pride and his arms are at his sides in a confident pose!!! And then of course he kind of deflates slightly. ]

It's uh... Very veird not having my magic or anything admittedly. And humans aren't entirely nightvision-inclined either.

[ A with a lack of icons because I designed Molly in a picrew-- ]

[faiirydramatic]

Seriously? That's your complaint here. Rich people are crazy.

[ And the other new recruit looks really unimpressed for a moment. Then again, maybe she shouldn't be so surprised given how rich people actually are. After all, it's not like they got in trouble. ]

call him out molly

[vonkoopa]

[ He turns, surprised someone overheard him, and then eyes narrow at the comment. ]

Please, if you vould, tell me vhere I asked for your opinion.

[ He didn't need this. He JUST recently got here, not to mention he was still getting used to being all... humany? It's a weird feeling. He doesn't have his shell OR magic anymore and it's making him irritated. ]

she will!!!

[faiirydramatic]

Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt your monologue?

[ She gives a woeful look, and it's very clearly the least sincere she's done in a while. C'mon, Molly, you're an actress. ]

You're the one complaining in the hallway. What were you expecting?

nice

[vonkoopa]

[ He just eyerolls at her. ]

Oh, you know, people generally leaving me be? Vhatever.

[ He needs a coffee. This is gonna be a long day. ]

will i do that thing u suggested? eventually. probably s;kjl

[faiirydramatic]

Yeah, no, we're bottom of the barrel- anyone could see you whining and they might not be as civil about it.

[ She's not a criminal, but uh. She knows how this sort of thing goes down. ... Is her picking something of a fight a way to distract others from his moping? ]

i believe in u

[vonkoopa]

Right, and calling me "crazy" is civil. I'll remember that.

[ His arms cross and his eyes roll. ]

[faiirydramatic]

That was part of the point, actually.

[ She doesn't trust these execs as far as she can throw them! ]

Besides, I didn't say anything that wasn't true.

A!

[splendidevil]

Aww, were you expecting everything to be handed to you on a platter?

[Ash comes up behind this kid with the weird hair with a mean-looking black salamander Pokemon following along beside them.]

Tsk tsk. Laziness makes a pushover. That's just common sense! You're destined to be weak and useless.
