Muse is gloating

[misterl]

Look at you, Mun. You thought I would be a passing phase of a character and would just fade away, even with you telling me that I am just an 'OC with a canon character's face' because of just appearing for a few scenes in one game?

This is why you're not in charge of anything, so why don't you find a place it get me settled in at or something? I am sure there are a lot of places that need the Green Thunder there.

"Need"? Need. Such a curious word. As if anyone needs a plumb...

[No, people kinda do.]

... ahem. As if anyone needs an irritable, stached man to skip over people's head, eh? Uh...

[Kamek narrows his eyes and looks a little closer at the man.]

... Oh, dear. You're not Mario, are you?

[misterl]

Mario? You mean Mr.JumpsalltheTime?

Ha! As if, I am none other than the Green Thunder himself. MR. L! [See this, he is striking a pose. One hand up in the air, the other out to the side making an 'L' shape.]

I don't see how you can confuse me for that short, fat man. I am completely different from him.

[geomemancy]

"L"? L.

[L as opposed to M. It's starting to sink in.]

Oh, you're the brother of the Mario Bros. Back in the day, it's been said that both of you would be pests to King Bowser. But you've been more like an irritable hangnail to Mario's thorn.

[The elderly Magikoopa gives Mr. L a serpentine smirk.]

How indeed could I have confused you.

[misterl]

[Mr. L glares at Kamek. If looks could kill, then there would be a small radius of death where you were.]

The brother? [He knew he looked similar to Mr. Jumpsallthetime but he wasn't any way related to him. No way. Especially not a brother. He could not imagine ever coming from where ever that man came from.] I have no brother, and as for Mr. Alwaysgetsfoiled- well, I am much more than a hang-nail or a thorn.

[gosh, if that isn't the rudest thing Luigi's heard all day! this type of behavior feels something like a warning, an incentive for him to back off, and far be it from him to ignore his better judgment.

...still. it isn't every day you get the opportunity to talk to yourself in the literal sense of things. sure he's apprehensive, but, well...

maybe he's not as bad as he sounds! and looks. and acts. ohhh, Luigi...]

But you-a don't know that for-a sure, do you?

[misterl]

[Mr. L stares at the other man for a few long moments. This man looked like him, but everything in his mind was refusing to accept that fact.

He was going to look for everything that was different about him. This green fellow's face made him think of Mr. Jumpsallthetime if he were taller and thinner. Same eyes, same nose.

Although he would have to give him kudos on that wonderfully groomed mustache so points there, Mr. Green. But thats about it. He is still trying to find more differences. The way he holds himself. The accent- it was like Mr. Jumpsallthetime's also. Too much of this man made him think of the other.]

Well, Mr. Greenjumpsalot. [Smooth there. You unknowingly just called yourself Green Mario there, L.] I know for a fact that there are a lot of places that would need me, after all, I am one of the few competent people about in the world. Everyone else- well, thats why theres the term cannon-fodder.

[Hello again, fellow brainwashed main-character's-brother minion!]

...
I'm not sure if not fading from these mundane's heads is a good thing. I would like to return to Master Porky unobstructed.

...by place, do you mean one of those games?

[misterl]

[Hello again! Hows it going? Still a brain-washed twin? Same here, man. Same here.]

I do, they seem like they would be an exciting place. Besides, I might be able to find some pure hearts there.

[psimera]

My mundane has been considering one for me. I am - uncomfortable with the prospect. I will be even more stranded than the occasional patches of it here. Exciting as it may be, Master Porky requires my assistance back home.

...Master Porky's enemy will be there, though, so perhaps I will be able to at least do something about him.

[misterl]

I say you should do that, take the initiative. After all, you're not some brainless cannon fodder. You might be gone for a bit, but it won't be like you're not working.

I know I would like to go to a place where I could get rid of Mr. Jumpsallthetime and his cohorts by surprise.

[psimera]

[That's a way of putting it he certainly hasn't thought of. He - actually sort of likes it, maybe. A way to regain some control over a situation out of his hands.]
...
You may be right. I would like to know how long I'd be gone, but if I can get rid of Master Porky's enemy, there won't be any other serious threats to our plans. Not unless someone else able to pull the Needles pops up.

Any progress on your end?

[misterl]

And of course I'm right, and you mentioned that only you and that other person could do it, so I doubt someone would just mystically appear or anything to do it. If so, they would be a little late to the party.

[He pointed his thumb down at that.]

Zero and I am biting at the reigns here about it.

[psimera]

No more Pure Hearts? Or yes to that, but your Count's enemies have managed to avoid being disposed of still?

[misterl]

As in Zero progress whatsoever.

[psimera]

Oh.

[He's not quite sure how to phrase a reply, but that's definitely a sympathetic look on his face there.]
