Ah, the Mushroom kingdom. A rather lovely place, peaceful even. Its population consisted of the ever friendly Toads, and their benevolent ruler. The toads may have been getting ready for something, judging by the hustle and bustle being a little more than usual, and they were pretty happy today. A little more than normal.

But, the peace just wasn't gonna last, was it? Of course not. Because just in the sky, above the castle, came an airship all too familiar to the population as a whole. And they didn't hesitate to scatter the moment the ship was in sight. Some locked themselves in their own home, others took shelter within the castle, afraid of the attack that might follow suit, or the minors that would be storming their little home soon. Some worried it'd be both. They could only hope Mario was gonna be able to win again. But that meant one toad has to go get him from his home if he was sleeping or something else that didn't have him outside. And their discussion was just that. Which Toad was gonna go get him before it got too chaotic?

Even the princess, the kingdom's ruler, found herself just as worried. But Bowser? Well...he's here. And one can assume he isn't leaving until he gets what he wants.
