The king only gives you the letter from the princess AFTER you defeat the Koopa and undo the curse. It reads something like “Thank you Mario! Here is a letter from the princess.”

It should go like this:

“Many thanks, Mario. Here is my end of the bargain, and we’ll stop intercepting your mail. Heh heh heh.”

*Mario takes the letter and begins to walk out. Guards seize him and throw him out the front door.*

“…and don’t fuck with the kingdom of Grass Land!” (or insert whatever world you were just in)

Mario always did have a lot of dramatic potential.

Lack of posting? Noooooooooooo~ Old-ass pictochat drawing of a Game Boy in love? Noooooooooooo~

I’ve found myself waiting a lot in the past few days. Waiting to know if I got the copy chief job (either way will be relieving), waiting on things to come in the mail, Mario Kart especially since I just made a ranty little post on the GC, waiting for the semester to end, then waiting on grades.

Although, I managed to get into some time with Phantom Dust last night. Since I don’t have an ex-box, my friend keeps my copy. He got it out and started playing yesterday, and I watched while hanging out in irc. Immediately, I felt jealous. The game is so unique and fun, and I hadn’t thought about it for a long time (being a DS owner is a full time job for me nowadays). He’s addicted to it, and he only started playing to keep himself from playing Forza for another entire day. It’s the XBox’s Katamari: It’s original and it’s cheap and it’s unknown, but the originality and atmosphere is something I wouldn’t normally associate with Microsoft, and it’s fun. Battles are way too much fun. It underscores the fact that these Espers have to spend most of thier lives hanging out in dreary underground hideouts, hiding from the Dust, and the joy in their life is spending fifteen minutes at a time above ground, fighting monsters and looking for lost memories.
