Role Play Pool Party V.2

"Tough!" Bowser responded to Wendy. "I'm your father. Go be snookums on someone else's time!" Shaking his head at the koopa kids and their lack of intellect, he noticed that the anchor wasn't raising. "Buffoons!" he roared. "Get to work and pull me up. We've got plumbers to squash!"

Wendy pouted as she crammed her koopa wand back inside her shell. "Do this," she screamed, "do that. Wash this, clean that. I could just spit in his shell!"

Not caring what impression she gave Orinda, Wendy stomped out of the tavern. "The nerve of making a princess do a boys work!"

"Uh, p-poodle, actually," Random replied. "B-But he is yellow and purple!" He was relieved he wasn't the first to spot the plumber, so he wouldn't be forced to investigate further hopefully. "O-Orders, sir? Over."

Monty started to walk in the castle whether Lief came or not. He came to the throne room and knocked on the door.

"The moment of truth...," he thought to himself.

After what seemed like forever, Heaven got the courage to walk up the stairs and peek her head up above the roof. She saw Bowser standing on the anchor barking out orders to whoever was aboard the humongous doomship. Ducking her head back down inside, she looked to Envy and nodded. "The king is about to head out," she whispered to them. "I doubt he'd let us come.."

After a long wait, Monty turned to Lief and said, "Doesn't look like Bowser is here. He might be outside or he is going to deal with the plumber himself."

He then proceeded to walk back outside.

"You coming?" He said to Lief.

Hearing the conversation between Fire and the Lakitu on his radio as well, Xiuhcoatl was sitting atop a dolphin in the middle of Soda Lake still. "I'll alert the patrols if someone alerts the king," the reptile said into his radio device. "That pest won't get far."

Head out? From the roof? There was some kind of machine there, surely. And Heaven said that even though she thought the King wouldn't let them come with him, well, if he did, they COULD. So it had to be a big machine! A machine that went places, too. They just HAD to see it!

"Maybe we can ask?"

This could be their chance to see more of the world...

Heaven shrugged as she climbed the stairs and was on the roof of the enormous yet luxurious castle. Waiting for Envy to come up with her, she looked to Bowser standing on the anchor and let off a bad attempt of a joke. "You won't get anywhere like that!" she said with a bit of a stale laugh.

Ignoring Heaven's snarky remark, Bowser tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for the Rocky Wrenches to haul him up to the top of the doomship.

Larry came rushing past Heaven and Envy and tugged on Bowser's leg. "King dad!" he yelled. "Can I come? Can I? Huh?"

Seeing Larry gave Envy the slight spark of courage they so desperately needed.

"May I go too? I... might even be of help."

Monty walked out of the castle. He hadn't even bothered to wait for Lief, who did not seem to be taking this seriously.

"Where are you, Bowser?" he said to himself as he stood outside the main doors. He thought he heard a sound from above. He walked forward a bit so he could look above to the roof.

"What's going on up there?" Monty thought, he could not see very clearly that high up.

Heaven seemed rather astounded at Envy speaking up. "You want to what?" she sputtered out, finding it difficult to put words together.

Bowser didn't even see Envy as he gave Larry a toothy grin. "Of course my boy," he bellowed. "Anybody else who wants to come and see me annihilate a plumber can jump on this anchor with me so we can ride out!"

Seeing someone had to stay to oversee the duties of the castle in Bowser's departure, Heaven kept quiet from Bowser's offer. She was still trying to make sense of Envy's sudden outburst.

"Bowser doesn't seem to be here, well I'll do something else instead," Monty said to himself. He didn't even know where Lief was now or whether he was still around. He didn't bother to check either as he went back in the castle.

Envy turned to Heaven.

"It's a once in a lifetime chance!" they said.

And once Bowser said anyone could come, they almost ran to get on the airship.

"Thanks, thanks!"

Hunting plumbers! This was going to be fun! Maybe they'd even be able to help!

The absent minded Rocky Wrenches were spacing out and they snapped out as Bowser was still out yellin' and hollarin'. Remembering where they were, the dimwitted little twangs, they began to raise the anchor up towards the upper deck of the doomship.

"Come on you lackeys!" Bowser shouted as the anchor he stood on slowly raised. "I'll get that plumber for sure this time!"

Quickly leaping onto the anchor, Larry rubbed his hands together and nearly fell off as quickly as he climbed aboard. "Yeah!" he said with a snicker.

Seeing the king was focused on leaving for his mission to run out the annoying plumber, Heaven saw little reason to go along. Someone had to keep an eye on the castle, naturally.

"I'll stay here and keep watch," she said as she then gave Envy a gentle nudge on the shoulder. "You stay safe out there, okay?"

"I will, thank you!" Envy replied to Heaven.

They were pretty sure that they'd be just fine!

Monty was quite annoyed at Lief. He seemed to just vanish and he didn't know where he was. He looked round for him but couldn't find him. Plus he had been sent on a mission for nothing. He decided to go down to the bar for a drink and started to walk down there.

"...Um, s-sir?" Random asked nervously in response to the radio silence. "C-Come in, sir, over. ...C-Come in, anybody, over?" He looked over to the large yellow dot below; the plumber was almost all the way across the bridge and soon would be on the path into Vanilla Dome.

He hated to cut off the line to his superior, but he needed something. He set his transceiver to rotate through all the army's field frequencies, including doomships; for emergencies only, but if a plumber wasn't an emergency, what was?

"Broadcasting on all frequencies!" he shouted. Too loudly and nervous-sounding, but it was the only way he was going to get anything out with how his nerves were getting. "Yellow and purple plumber sighted at Cheese Bridge Area! Almost to Vanilla Dome! I need orders! What do I do?! Repeat, broadcasting on all frequencies! Yellow and...!"
