Week 4.

[legionofmods]

[Another trial. Another execution. This is beginning to get fairly routine at this point - something has to happen soon, don’t you think?

Luckily for you all, that might just be the case. The fourth floor is open, and free to explore. But there’s something dark lurking up here, and it’ll become clear to you that there’s more to this whole thing than what’s been described to you.

You’re getting close to your final days here. Make the most of it.]

(important ooc notes: 1. There is an official activity check this week! If you plan on hanging with us through the end, feel free to hit that up!

2. I am looking for a volunteer to do a one-on-one plot-heavy thread on Tuesday afternoon around motive time! If you’re interested, please get in touch with me.)

Wh --

[ WHEEEEEEE there he goes. His hands automatically shoot towards the big claw grabbing at him, trying to pull him off. ]

Get off, I swear to -- [When that inevitably doesn't work, he'll probably kick at whoever it is that's grabbing him. ]

HUH?! BWUH!

[Yomiel successfully fends off the attack, sending whatever has grabbed at him back into the darkness. A flame from seemingly nowhere lights a torch within the catacomb, revealing...]

[kingofkoopas]

[...is this some kinda turtle? Either way, he’s grimacing and grasping his stomach.]

Watch it, bub! I’m trying to save your rear and this is the thanks I get?! I forego the typical “princess-gives-out-cakes” crud and instead, I get a puny little kick to the stomach! How does that plumber put up with this?

[conditionally]

Don't start grabbing people without any warning, then!

[ Yomiel frowns, fixing his suit. You could've ruined it, Bows, come on. ]

Wait, what do you mean by save? And who are you, exactly?

[kingofkoopas]

Of course I wanna save you! Saving you is the best path to stomping Eggdork or whoever or whoever or...whatever did this junk!

[conditionally]

Wait. So you're not part of the Legion?

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

And what took you so long if you were really looking to "stomp" him? People are already dead. Seems like you're a little late on that.

[kingofkoopas]

No, I am or - was! Look. I’ve been stuck up in this shroomin’ room, and I got a hunch about something!

[12 PM hits. The monitors flicker to life. Bowser points to the closest one from their location.]

Take a look!

[And the motive video plays, featuring what appears to be this same creature. Bowser grimaces as the video goes on, speaking when it comes to an end.]

That’s not me.

[conditionally]

[ He watches the motive video, lingering there for a minute before looking at the Koopa. ]

You got any proof?

[kingofkoopas]

He’s doin the motives in order of hierachy for the Legion. Wizard Guy. Judge Doofus. Me.

Something attacked us a couple weeks ago. I escaped. Got stuck here. What more do ya want?

[conditionally]

A way out, preferably. Other than that...

What attacked you?

[kingofkoopas]

Soon as I figure that out, bub, you’ll be the first to know! After me, obviously, because I’ll have found it.

Not sure, the whole thing is kinda hazy. Musta been some kind of alien, because the thing was fast.

[conditionally]

Some help that is... it's gotta be that thing that apparently pretended to be you, right?

[kingofkoopas]

My guess is that either the doc made robot versions of all of us or there’s some kinds shapeshifting punchable weirdo! Either way, win-win for a thrashing!

Either way, you gotta admit the reason for you bein here is flimsy! There’s more goin’ on than that.

[conditionally]

The Legion? Got to admit, it's probably hard to recruit a bunch of people who have no interest in being here.

[ He pauses. ]

More going on like what?
