Did you know that Magikoopa (or Kamek) was supposed to be in Mario Kart 64? but i kinda forgot the reason why he was replaced with Donkey Kong in the final build, and i'm lazy to do some research, so can anyone let me know why he was given the boot?
Did you know that there is a Fun Facts topic?
Did you know this is your millionth time repeating something that has already been said?
maybe because when I wrote this message I had not seen the others because I was writing
Yes because it takes 3 minutes to type out 46 characters
Takes me like one minute + I have osteoarthritis so man just made an excuse to copy what others have said 💀

Yeah, Fun Facts exists

On Max's topic, I hinted at a new fanfic after Bearers of the 13 Zodiac.
That fanfic is going to be called MKPC: Two Sides of the Same Coin and will release after I have published 3 episodes of Bearers of the 13 Zodiac.
Plot for Two Sides of the Same Coin:
Oh also, it doesn't matter that I don't have all 13 Bearers of the Zodiac yet, I'm going to release Episode 1 of Bot13Z soon
That fanfic is going to be called MKPC: Two Sides of the Same Coin and will release after I have published 3 episodes of Bearers of the 13 Zodiac.
Plot for Two Sides of the Same Coin:
Basically yet ANOTHER Danganronpa fanfic but it doesn't feature anything to do with the video game/anime series, instead it will serve as the basis of the 4th game in the 7-game series, Darklit Adventurer
Following the plot of a future fanfic, a war ensues in Galaxy MKPC. The cast take shelter in an abandoned boarding school, but a strange moon rabbit doll uses a spell that traps the cast inside the school.
The only way out is if just 3 people out of the cast survive. Any more or less by the time the sun sets on the fourth day and all remaining survivors will perish along with the others. (Yes, there will be several endings to this fanfic)
Something new that this fanfic introduces is Familiars. Familiars are tangible spiritual companions of their masters who share similar traits (For example, a person with the blood of the shrine maidens would have 2 Inari as their familiars as Inari statues are often seen outside of Shinto shrines)
Something else that is noteworthy about this fanfic is that it takes place in different timelines to SMKPCG and Bot13Z respectively (SMKPCG being set in the far future and Bot13Z being set in the past -- TSotSC is set in the near future)
Also, there will be guest characters (like Raider in SMKPCG and Mazzy in Bot13Z)

Prepare for a vacation on Yoshi's Island
A walk through the Donut Plains
Carefully wandering through Vanilla Dome
Watching down at the lovely river on the Cheese and Cookie Bridges
Trying to escape the Forest of Illusion
Looking up at the mountains on Chocolate Island
And invading the castle in the Vally of Bowser
Coming late Winter - Late Spring
Can't wait for Forest of ILLUZHION...
Ok, enough with the stupid puns for now...
Anyway, I myself am working on a huge MKPC project:
Twisted Mario Kart...
It's Mario Kart, but darker... 😈😈😈
By the way, if you want a course based around you, just drop me a PM.
So far I have a few:
- Abyss of IlluZhion
- Nudge Forest
- Lemon Cat Temple
- Lely City
- Senko Stadium
- Osc's Factory
- Popplio's Waterpark
- Shifu Cavern
- Hiku-chan Speedway
- Chilli Circuit
- Dark Volcano
- Fiery Coast

@Fiadh dead? there havent been any fanfics in a while and it would be nice to see some activity in this scene
First episode will release soon, I have a shit ton of projects to work on but I can probably cram this into my totally existent schedule somewhere - I'm just working on the relevant documents for it - also my area was recently really badly affected by Storm Éowyn so I lost a lot of internet connection for the week that I had initially planned to release Episode 1, which seriously demotivated me from the project, as well as just overall procrastination

How many people can join a single tribe? I kinda wanna join Pyres but there's already a person there.
As many as possible, also Heroes aren't on a first-come, first-served basis, so there's a chance you could be Hero and not RedPik lmfao

Disclaimer: This is a fanfic created by me, as such, it will feature slightly more mature topics such as death, grief, psychological turmoil and violence. Reader discretion is highly advised - if you do not wish to see, or are particularly triggered by any of the aforementioned content, I would advise looking elsewhere on the site for fanfiction to read and/or join.
This is the land of Aeolia - a realm where star and moon, past and future, once lived in union. However, anathema has gnawed at the very tethers binding this realm together, rifting the lithosphere apart like scissors through thinly-woven silk, segregating the Tribes of Light and the Tribes of Dark. From the rift emerged a new Tribe: the Tribe of Tears, hellbent on desecration and eradication of the Aeolian landscape from horizon to horizon, zenith to nadir.
One hero from each of the Tribes of Light and Dark made haste for that Ravine, and eventually sealed away the mephistophelean Tribe of Tears, banishing them to a state bordering reality and fantasia. Across the course of 12 aeons, the seal weakened, and, in the contemporaneous era, the Tribe of Tears has seen emergence from the Ravine of Sorrows once more. It's up to the descendants of the original Eight Heroes to seek the annihilation of the Tribe of Tears indefinitely.

𖤐 Name
𖤐 Colour
𖤐 Species
𖤐 Personality
𖤐 Tribe (this will stop after 8 people have joined, unless you wish to join the Tribe of Tears)
𖤐 Powers (up to three)
Current cast
𖤐 Lilith: A demoness with a balanced soul, keeping the seven deadly sins intrinsic of her essence in equilibrium. She is an outgoing, unwavering and confident Hero, heiress to the Tribe of the Seasons and is an adept weaponsmith and circe of the dark arts, having forged her own twin scythes, both infused with her mystic power: the power of manipulating nature and essence unto her will.
𖤐 Twilight: A feline demigod living in solitude in the savannah to the south of Rjúla Bay. As to be expected from a secluded half-deity, they are very timid and introverted, keeping to themselves and keeping a watchful gaze upon the Ravine of Sorrows. As the patron of the Tribe of the Future, it is their duty to remain vigilant and defend their people at all costs should the Tribe of Tears besiege the grasslands, however they would much rather remain in the company of themself and themself alone, often teleporting or using telekinesis to achieve this.
𖤐 Nudge: A gyokuto (lunar rabbit-man hybrid that uses a wooden mallet to create mochi) overseeing the Plains of Fá-Túang. Despite being cynical, calculated and somewhat disquieting at times, he is approachable and will help others if need be. As do the other Heroes of the Elements, it is his duty to keep a watchful gaze over the Ravine of Sorrows, and decimate any evils that erupt from it. As the Hero of Phantoms, Nudge has one defining power: the ability to harvest souls from living creatures and use them as power against them.
𖤐 Hatsune Miku: A courteous vocaloid who enjoys singing, be it in solitude or with company - her voice is so pure that singing out-of-tune may cause sudden blizzards due to her inability to control her cryokinetic powers. Being the Hero of the Seas, she, along with the Heroes of the Elements hailing from each Tribe, defends the Ravine of Sorrows from sudden eruption, defending the land in the selfsame manner against the Tribe of Tears.
𖤐 Scorchy: < Lore coming soon >
𖤐 Veno: < Lore coming soon >
𖤐 Dudzi: < Lore coming soon >
𖤐 Blazen: < Lore coming soon >
𖤐 Iz: While not being a Hero of the Elements, Iz is a sentient Polandball whose purpose is to serve the Hero of the Lands. Due to the standing that said Hero holds in the Tribe of the Lands, Iz is largely ostracised by his own people, and his memories were cast away as a punishment for his affiliation with the Hero, causing him to grow isolated from society, and also seems forgetful or ditzy from time to time. Using the power of terrakinesis, he secluded himself in a crevice deep inside Túrvim Mountain, and prays that his turmoil is evanescent.
𖤐 Iam: A fairy who holds the moniker of the Hero of the Skies, after the previous Hero of this Element met her demise. Much like the Hero of the Lands, his people have turned on him and banished him to Aeolia as retribution for his ruthless, immature pranks. Despite how aggressive his pranks and overall demeanour seem to the onlooker, Iam can be helpful at times, and puts his pranking expertise to good use when vanquishing the evils heralded forth from the Ravine of Sorrows.

There’s also SMMWE (Super Mario Maker World engine) that’s for PC and Android. Don’t know about Linux or Mac, but do know that it has a banging soundtrack.
I actually played the game once - imo it's better than SMM2
EDIT: There's also Mario Editor, which is similar but it only uses the SMB3 Allstars style

Chapter 3 ~ Beggars Can't Be Choosers
Sirena Hotel Basement, Saturday 2 February, 22XX, 01:30 am
Music for this part:
Sirena Hotel Basement, Saturday 2 February, 22XX, 01:30 am
Music for this part:
Invu - Ouch... where are we?
Chloe - Fio tested the doors a few minutes ago. It seems like we're in some kind of jail cell; there's literally no way out, no windows or anything.
Aphel - Surely we could break through the wall?
Chloe - Fio tested that as well. Those Piantas are conniving, I'll give them that. They layered off the drywall of the building with concrete insulation.
Scorchy - I can't die now! I'm only 11!
Scorchy began to sob - he was scared, they all were, deep down. Nuala stopped testing the doors, and she and Kay-Kay took it upon themselves to console the small red Pikmin.
Nudgy - I don't know why you're the ones comforting Red when you're the ones who dragged us through this shit.
Invu - Nudge, this isn't the time.
Nudgy - I don't give a shit.
K - Oh yeah, speaking of, weren't you the one who ratted us out and played the victim when you got arrested alongside us?
Nudgy - Again, I don't give a shit. The sooner I'm away from those crazed individuals who think they're girls because they said so, the better.
? - Excuse me, what was that?
Nudgy looked on at the source of the voice in shock, clearly not expecting his values to be challenged, let alone by someone nearly twice his height. He folded his arms aggressively, his fur-clad face growing petulant.
Nudgy - And who may you be to challenge me?
Invu - Nudgy, that's really not important at this moment in time. Leave the girl alone.
Nudgy's anger grew, but he sucked it up and zipped his mouth to avoid any escalating conflict.
? - Now... as I was about to say before I heard that remark, I'm Maxime, and I'm the owner of Sirena Hotel.
Nuala - The... owner? Then why are you also in jail with us?
Maxime - Long story short, the Sirenan mafia took over the hotel, and, being the owner, I wasn't taking that bullshit and decided to rebel against their growing influence across Isle Delfino, ergo, I'm locked up here.
Twilight - That's pretty cruel. You alright?
Maxime - Yeah, I'm fine. I'm still a little shaken up, but I'm-
Nudgy - Well you've been in here longer than us, do you know if there's a secret exit or something?
Invu - Nudge, she was trying to speak.
Maxime - Oh, no, it's fine. It's just under that barrel that the shamrock girl's sitting on.
Nuala hopped off the barrel and rolled it aside, with a perfectly-sized cat flap at the wall. Nudgy jumped at the opportunity to leave those drab teenagers and shot through the hatch like a hare being hunted in broad daylight.
Twilight - Ugh, finally. I was wondering when we'd be getting away from him.
Aphel - That's... not necessarily a good thing.
Scorchy - It's Nudge, he's not that dangerous, is he?
K - You wouldn't know the half of it, had you been around him for long enough...
Twilight - Eh, personally, I'm just glad he's out of our way.
Invu - Wait, Maxime, you mentioned secret exits... is there another?
Maxime - Look above you.
Everyone looked up before Chloe spied an open vent in the wall adjacent to Maxime.
Chloe - A vent... but how are we going to go in there? There isn't a ladder or anything.
Invu - Wait, that empty bookshelf might work.
Nuala used all her might to push the towering bookshelf, and while the bookshelf itself was confined to a single track embedded into the floorboards, behind it was a lever. Kay-Kay's first instinct was to push this lever, and, sure enough, stairs emerged from the wall below the vent.
Invu - Yeuch. I wouldn't be seen dead up there.
Nuala - Well, it's this or execution.
At that, Invu bolted up the steps without hesitation, with Nuala, Chloe and Kay-Kay quickly following. Soon enough, everyone was crawling through the communal vents in Sirena Hotel, and swept through silently, yearning for an exit from that hellscape. Meanwhile, Nudgy had walked straight into the domain of the mafia bosses.
Music for this part:
Nataniel - Oh, il coniglio is here.
Antonio - Ey, Presidente, didn't he escape-a from the jail?
Nudgy - Not now, Ant. I'm fucking exhausted.
Nudgy made himself comfortable amidst the formidable Pianta mob, sitting himself in Julien's old seat, the gore still staining the otherwise plush velvet cushion adorning its ebony frame. Alfonso appeared to be majorly disquieted by the sight.
Alfonso - Ey, coniglio, I, uh, wouldn't-a recommend sitting in that-a seat...
Nudgy - Do you see any other seats around here? Don't see anything shameful in sitting in the same seat as your enemy, it just proves you've moved on.
Nataniel - Ey, I like-a your guts-a, coniglio. What's-a say we strike-a up a deal?
Nudgy - A deal, you say? Now my interest is piqued. Go ahead.
Nataniel - We will offer-a you that seat in our-a mafia, but you have-a one job...
Nudgy - And that job is?
Nataniel slid a bounty poster across the elegant table with the visages of Nudgy's former acquaintances emblazoned across its centre. Nudgy seemed disquieted; memories of him and his friends came flooding back.
Music for this part:
Ten years ago...
Invu - Hey, Nudgy! Catch!
Invu threw the Frisbee to Nudgy, hoping that the latter would catch it and throw it back with the selfsame grace. However, as Nudgy went to catch the disc, he tripped and fell on a rock, sobbing as his knee was grazed.
Invu - Oh my Gods, Nudgy!
Invu immediately ran towards Nudgy, checking to see if he was in any major pain. Seeing that his best friend was in distress, Invu also began to cry. Their cries distracted a young Nuala, who immediately saw the two boys crying. Invu saw the merrow-girl approaching them, and wiped away his tears.
Invu - Who are you...?
Nuala - My name's Fionnuala. I heard you two crying while I was climbing that tree, are you both okay?
Nudgy wailed and pointed to his knee, the faint red tint of a graze seeping through like fresh ichor trickling down a vampire's neck. Nuala searched her bag and produced a plaster, applying it to the rabbit's knee.
Nuala - There you go. Can you stand?
Nudgy - I think so...
Nudgy tried to stand up, his knee nearly giving way. As he stumbled, his knee became secure and he was able to stand well.
Invu - Thank you so much for your help, Fionn- Fio-
Nuala - Haha, just call me Nuala, it's easier to pronounce. Oh, how rude of me to not ask sooner, what are your names?
Invu - My name's Invu, and this is Nudgy, but you can call him Nudge for short.
Nuala - Nudgy it is, then.
The trio continued walking along in the park, when they got to the nearby beach, and Invu was making a sandcastle and Nudgy was merely sunbathing. All of a sudden, an older boy came up to Invu and kicked down his sandcastle, making fun of the lad and hitting him as he wept over the last vestiges of his creation.
Nuala - Hey! Leave him alone!
Older Kid - Or what? You don't scare me, loser!
Nuala dropped her handbag and tied back her ashen mane as it swept in the wind, baring her fists as she stood firmly in the gentle zephyr, a sure sign that she was vexed.
Older Kid - Ooh, scary, what are you going to do? Slap me?
The older boy laughed and continued to beat Invu and stomp on the latter's sandcastle, but not before finding himself immobilised by Nuala's iron grip.
Nuala - I said... Leave. Him. ALONE!
As soon as Nuala had thrown the older child to the ground, he scarpered, his visage wrought with abrasive sand and relentless tears.
Invu - You came through for us again in our hour of need, Nuala... thank you...
Invu - Hey, Nudgy! Catch!
Invu threw the Frisbee to Nudgy, hoping that the latter would catch it and throw it back with the selfsame grace. However, as Nudgy went to catch the disc, he tripped and fell on a rock, sobbing as his knee was grazed.

The older boy laughed and continued to beat Invu and stomp on the latter's sandcastle, but not before finding himself immobilised by Nuala's iron grip.
Nuala - I said... Leave. Him. ALONE!
As soon as Nuala had thrown the older child to the ground, he scarpered, his visage wrought with abrasive sand and relentless tears.
Invu - You came through for us again in our hour of need, Nuala... thank you...
Nudgy was promptly snapped back into reality by the Don's domineering voice.
Nataniel - So, coniglio, what-a will it-a be?
In spite of this, Nudgy shook off the thoughts of his former friendship with Invu and Nuala, his avaricious nature besting him.
Nudgy - It's a deal, no questions asked.
Nataniel - Molto bene, coniglio. I expect them to be here by next-a week at-a the latest.

Toadley Clinic, Friday 1 February, 22XX, 09:35 pm
Music for this part:
While K was getting treated by Dr. Flame, Don Piantro eventually succumbed to his wounds and the virus in the streets. His secretary, Alfonso Piantaro, delivered the news to the late Don's underground ring beneath Sirena Hotel. A group of shady Piantas were gathered around a large redwood table playing blackjack, smoking cigars and drinking wine.
Antonio - Ey, Alfonso. What took-a you so long, eh?
Alfonso - It's about-a the Don... he's-a dead.
Galterio - Well, that's-a fucking great. Means his shady-a little vice-a president is now in charge of-a the Cheesecake-a Land-a.
Antonio - Ey, Nataniel! Get-a your ass-a down here right-a now!
Immediately, a scrawny, yet clearly powerful Pianta shot downstairs, trembling with an almost unbridled rage apparent in his burning eyes.
Nataniel - So it's-a true. Those-a stupid kids have killed our Don. No mind, I will deal with them-a accordingly.
Julien - No, Nataniel! Don't-a do it! The city, it's-a...
Before Julien could utter another vacuous, distasteful word, Nataniel shot him on the spot, the bullet going straight through the portly Pianta's skull.
Nataniel - Silenzio, idiota! Ora governo queste parti, buffone traditore! And as for-a the rest of-a you... obey me, or you-a will dance-a the dance of-a the deceased!
All of the Piantas surrounding the table looked on at the bloodied carcass of Julien with a sickening mixture of horror and resignment. Nataniel was now the Don: all who opposed him would inevitably face the most severe of consequences.
Music for this part:
Back at the Doctor's office, K had mostly recovered and his friends were all rejoicing.
Flame - There you go. All healed.
Invu - Phew, that's a relief, for sure.
Nuala - Yeah. At least fighting off that stupid Don Piantro was worth it.
At Nuala's mention of the late Don, Kay-Kay quickly grew disquieted.
Kay-Kay - Wait... didn't we kill the Don? I've heard awful things about his deputy... if he knows or even thinks we played a part in his cousin's demise, we're goners for sure...
Nudgy - Again with the melodrama.
Aphel - No, Nudge, it's a pretty valid point to raise. We literally assassinated Don Piantro, of course the new President will be on someone's asses. And whose asses to better be onto than the ones who broke quarantine laws?
Nuala - I agree, we've already broke the law outside of this by going outside. Even if several other people were running amuck in Gadarene terror, how many of those people do you think had the slightest idea to get around quickly in a golf cart?
Invu - Exactly, and how would we explain that we wanted to heal K when Piantro also had the virus? He'll see right through it regardless of what alibi we have.
Nudgy let out a gruff sigh in resignation and annoyance, knowing that pursuing such a frivolous argument would fizzle into vacuity.
Nudgy - Alright, fine.
K - I'm sorry guys, if I'd have known all of this would've happened I'd have just locked all of the windows and doors.
Scorchy - Don't blame yourself. It was just a silly mistake in the grand scheme of things.
Twilight - Precisely, and above all, we're just glad that you're alive, K.
K - Thanks, I guess, I just don't like when people get into a pile of shit because of my own remiss actions.
While the balmy air was almost palpable, a huge question still loomed eerily above the Doctor's head like an imminent thunderstorm.
Flame - The Don, you say?
Invu - Yeah, we didn't really think about this one, I don't think.
A news flash rang through the speakers of the clinic, an announcement by none other than the new Don himself.
Flame - Hide. Quickly. The new Don is bound to come by any minute after this broadcast.
Everyone followed the Doctor's orders and scarpered, collectively hiding inside a vault that Flame had left open, and after everyone was inside, the vault was securely locked once more. Afterwards, almost instantaneously, the broadcast boomed out of the tannoy speakers.
Music for this part:
Nataniel - Buonasera, I am-a pleased to announce-a to all-a you lovely people that I am your-a new Presidente. It has-a come to my-a attention that my cousin was assassinated this-a evening. Now, my-a people do not know who killed-a my cousin, but I have a sneaking-a suspicion that a small group of-a teenagers who had a part in breaking my cousin's quarantine guidelines had a part-a in the murder. My men will-a be posting fliers around-a the city square in-a the morning so that you can report-a to us if you so happen to see-a these deliquents around-a.
The teenagers looked on at each other in shock, wondering how the delinquents knew that they were at fault for the assassination of Piantro. Kay-Kay started whimpering and crying, majorly distressed by the ordeal. Nudgy was getting increasingly closer to losing his searing temper.
Kay-Kay - Fionnuala, are we going to die?
Nudgy - Shut the fuck up! Ever since we banded together, you've just been fawning over your boyfriend like he's the only thing that matters to you!
Chloe - Girlfriend, Nudge, and yeah, she is the only thing that matters to Kayleigh. Why wouldn't she be, especially after the warehouse incident?
Nudgy - Alright, you win. I clearly don't have any right to express myself here.
Invu - Literally nobody said that. Heck, Nuala hasn't even spoken during this whole debacle, and-
Before Invu could say a word more, Nudgy had crawled out of the vault.
Aphel - Well, that was certainly uncalled for.
K - I thought I was the issue, but no. Nudgy's basically just endangering us here.
And K was right. Just a few seconds later, the vault was cut through with lasers, and the Don peeked his bulbous head through the door, seeing the teenagers huddled together like eggs in a vulture's nest. Antonio had held Nudgy by the scruff of his neck, and pointed his pistol at the head of homunculid lagomorph. Unusually for Nudgy, he seemed to be visibly and audibly frightened at the mere prospect of being shot to death.
Nuala - Nudgy!
Nataniel - Silenzio, buffone! And that applies-a to the rest-a of you. Men, surround the vault. I'll-a drag this out... like the murder of-a my cousin!

Chapter 1 ~ The Beginning of an End

Icemilk City Centre, Friday 1 February, 22XX, 08:20 pm
Music for this part:
Nuala - Kayleigh, Chloe, come with me. We're going upstairs.
Invu - Yeah, I'm not loitering around either. I don't want to get suffocated by a revenant.
Nudgy - Me neither.
Nuala took Chloe by the hand, and made haste for the top floor with her and a paralysed Kay-Kay in tow. Invu and Nudgy decided to rush to the second floor, and Twilight soon made the decision to follow Nuala's group up top, leaving K, Aphel and Scorchy downstairs.
Nuala - Janey Mack, are you two alright?!
Kay-Kay - Yeah, I'm okay... just a little shaken up.
Chloe - Nuala...
Nuala - Yes, Chloe?
Chloe - Behind you...
A zombie made its way upstairs. Nuala shouldered her scythe as Kay-Kay and Chloe yelped in fear, the former ordering the latter two girls to stay behind her for safety. As Nuala readied her scythe, Twilight appeared behind the zombie, running three laps around it and hacking it into pieces.
Kay-Kay - Whew, thanks, Twi. You saved our arses there.
Twilight - You're welcome, but you girls really ought to come downstairs. It's urgent.
Nuala - I wonder what could be so important.
Nuala and company made haste for the ground floor again, catching up with Invu and Nudgy while simultaneously fighting off the occasional zombie. When they all reached the bottom of the stairs, they were met with a harrowing sight - K was on the ground, wounded, with Aphel looking majorly disquieted. Chloe shrieked at the sight, hiding behind Nuala, cuddling her back tightly. Scorchy was perched precariously on the ceiling, making a decent effort at hiding from the zombies, but a fruitless attempt at hiding from his friends, tremoring profusely from nerves. Kay-Kay subsequently fainted, though was caught by Nuala before she could inadvertently damage herself from the fall.
Nudgy - Holy shit, what in the Gods' names happened here?
Scorchy - The... the zombies... they got inside...
Invu - I can see that much, but what's up with K?
Aphel - He... he was bitten...
Nudgy - This is bad. Really bad. We need to get him to a doctor, and quickly.
Twilight - But how? The city's packed with revenants; we'll be infected for sure. Are there even any clinics around here?
Everyone fell silent, for it was true that they knew they were sure to perish if unprepared. In spite of the odds, Invu grinned knowingly.
Invu - I know just the place. Hey Aphel, do you still have that golf cart?
Aphel - Why, uh, yes, but do you seriously think we can all fit in there?
Invu - Well, we'll kind of have to. We'll throw K in the back because I am not risking him turning into a zombie and decimating us. Speaking of things being killed, do you still have that creepy weapon set, Nuala?
Nuala - Sure do.
Nuala handed each person a weapon, while Invu went to check the gas in the golf cart to ensure that it could still run. Luckily, the gas tank was full, so everyone made haste for the field and hopped into (or onto) the golf cart, with K being thrown into the back.
Scorchy - So where are we actually going, Invu?
Invu - To a place called Toadley Clinic.
Nudgy - Wait, isn't he a fortune teller? I don't trust him with my paracetamol dosage.
Nuala - Got any better ideas, Einstein? Thought not. Let's go.
Invu drove off with everyone in tow. As they made way for the clinic, they plowed through row after row of revenants, however once they passed the city square, Don Piantro caught them breaking quarantine protocol.
Piantro - Breaking MY public lockdown protocols? I don't believe it! After them!
Music for this part:
In what seemed like a jiffy, several cop cars were hot on Invu's trail. Nudgy and Twilight started throwing Bob-ombs at Piantro's forces, while Nuala took out her crossbow and started to puncture holes into the tyres of the police cabs. As the cabs ceased to move, the Don grew embittered and rose from the roof of his convertible and beat his chest animalistically, howling and screeching like a Chained Kong. A deep, japanned gash was etched across his bare chest - the same, almost perfect, inky black as K's wounds - a clear sign of the virus' infestation.
Piantro - First... protocol breaking... Then... cop car go boom... Now... you die!
Don Piantro's use of fragmented English and apish mannerisms, which seemed alien to the teenagers in the golf cart, majorly perturbed Kay-Kay as she noticed the selfsame lacerations on K's body. She whispered to Nuala, seeking comfort in her words.
Kay-Kay - Nuala... there are the same marks on Piantro that there are on K... could they have been infected...?
Piantro let out a monstrous snarl that shook the stratosphere, and the brutish Pianta sent a barrel hurtling at Kay-Kay, which Nuala promptly stopped, and sent an arrow flying through the Don's chest. In due time, the Bunyanesque Pianta fell to the ground, but Invu knew that there was no time to stop, lest the dreaded revenants catch up to them, so he took a sharp right and made it to Toadley Clinic promptly. K was quickly loaded out of the cart and dragged into the clinic.
Music for this part:
Receptionist Noki - Hi there, how may I help?
Invu - We'd like to see Dr. Toadley. Urgently.
The Noki working the counter seemed to be in distress, filing paperwork for her boss' indefinite leave.
Receptionist Noki - Uh, I apologise, but Dr. Toadley fled to the Mushroom Kingdom after the virus spread like wildfire. I can put you through to our other doctor, one second...
The Noki reluctantly sent a message via laptop to the Clinic's secondary doctor, but made a feeble attempt at seeming brave and cheerful to serve the group.
Receptionist Noki - Ah, of-of course! Please take a seat!
Invu and company took a seat in the waiting area, and Nuala applied a temporary dressing to K's wounds.
Nudgy - Huh. I wonder why that Noki seemed so reluctant to serve us, and why a literal doctor decided to flee the area when there are people who would've needed him.
Aphel - Yeah, something definitely seems off here. I just hope we're at the right clinic, and that the doctor who's treating K is actually decent.
Twilight - It's a good idea if we stick together, I don't really trust this place honestly.
Chloe - Agreed, though I wouldn't jump to such rash conclusions. It'll probably be alright.
After the gang had waited a while, the doctor to whom the Noki had sent a message emerged from the curtain to the operating theater.
Doctor - Mr. Invu?
