Roasted Forumer Stew [Open]

[Angel]

[- - Death Enabled, Teehee~ - -]

Mimi was feeling massive amounts of happy, and why shouldn't she? Soon, everything was going to be brought in motion and she would get her chance at stardom. Only natural for a cutie celebrity like her to start getting a bit patient right? But until then, she thought she might get a head-start on her new plan and get things moving... that way she could shine all the brighter!

"It's like, totally awful and stuffs.. Why does Mimi have to do this all by her lonesome though? I could like, totally use some dre-e-eamy guy next to me and stuff." she said with a exaggerated giggle and a squee. How delicious it was to think about.. but her daddies didn't really want her sparing any of the formers and the other guys were all so plain. Maybe Ike, or Marth? They weren't awful, she decided.

She sat down on a rock and adjusted her skirt and jacket. The jacket was a very nice one.. she loved it ever so much. It was a deep black with the most adorable pink trimmings. Her skirt was super adorable too, it was a pink plaid skirt with black "pleats" and was just to die for. The whole look made her look totally cute, she decided easily and no guy would want to turn her down. She swore that with her cute outfit, smile and charm.. she could bring down the college boys and make them kiss her feet. Who cared if she looked around 11? She was totally gorgeous, Teehee~

Though it was strange, she didn't really know what to do this moment. She was walking around Mushroom Kingdom and she felt like this was her home.. but she wanted to go where more things where happening. Even if Bowser was here, and she was supposed to kinda work with him or something like that. She wanted to go out and meet people. People were so much fun to meet and talk to, and then.. so much fun to roast! She thought this with a evil glare and her left fang popped out of her mouth.

She swiped her hand through her hair, adjusting it too. Shaking her head a bit to fluff it out, she decided she was ready. Time to go break some hearts.. ♥

[Tony Redgrave]

Ah to be young and full of youthful ambition! It was typical of every rugged young man these days to dream of going out a journey, all alone and with only their wits to guide them! It was a rough, tough and guff, but generally a very rewarding quest. You could really get to know just who you are by just moving about and that's just what Nouri had in mind. With only his equipment and his dashing trench coat to keep him comfy, he set out! With a gray nap sack over one shoulder and his dreams of grandeur on the other, he set off into lands... unknown oho. After days and days of walking however, things were looking a bit.. different. So different that he just had to ask himself one question

"Great Gravy Puffs! Where am I???"

Clearly, he got the feeling he wasn't Kansas anymore. Just what the hell was all of this? Green Pipes?? Blocks all around in the air with no clear means of support, tiny little brown mushroom looking things moving about over the horizon?? Interesting and seemingly harmless! But it did feel sorta creepy in a sense, kinda like being in some fandangled video game for children. But whatever the case, he needed to get his bearings straight and learn from this lesson. It was embarrassing enough for someone to just absent mindlessly (and blindingly) walk without looking where they were but to get lost like this, that was just overkill.

Reaching into his back pocket, he pulled out a small black spiral notebook and opened it to the first page. With the pen he had just so conveniently placed within the spiral, he jotted down his first lesson on the road to life.


"First Lesson: Never walk without looking. Its pretty dangerous and unmanly." Hm.. but that wasn't enough. There was just a bit more to add now that he was reflecting. "A real man would take note of his surroundings and maneuver about with superior and masculine grace." Perfect. End Note. Now that was said and done, he put away his notebook of knowledge. It was time to search.

Well... he didn't have to search for long as there was someone just a little ways down his path, resting ever so peacefully upon a delicious rock formation. Yup, a girly little lass sporting a rather keen looking jacket and a pink plaid skirt. Fashionable and somewhat normal looking... considering the surroundings. More importantly, she looked somewhat content and at ease with all of this which.. had to mean she knew this place quite well. Now it was time to ask some questions.

"Hey, young lass upon the rock up yonder!" the young rogue shouted towards her. "I'm a tad lost and umm.. can I ask you a few questions??"

[Angel]

Oh.. it seemed that her dreams were coming true. Out of nowhere, she heard a wonderful mature, male voice behind her.. and without even looking at him her eyes lit up with a sense that it was if her eyes themselves here big hearts. But when she saw him. Yes. He was perfect.

Sure, he was most likely a fourmer by the looks of him, the race that she was supposed to nom'z all up till they were nothing but roasted bones. But she definitely could use some feminine attention, all girls needed some to refill their energy-banks.. but no girl was as cute as Mimi-chan, that's fore sure! Dusting off her mini-skirt and jacket.. she skipped over to him full of energy and confidence. She bumped her head on a red "!" block that surely housed a Wing Cap, which proceeded to plop on her head adorably. It dissipated after a few seconds, but that was fine.. it felt as if her wings had feet now anyway.

"Like, of course! Mimi will totally be your guide of super knowledge!" she cried out in a sweet and girly voice, making a small "squee' afterward. Then, making a big jump given extra height because of the Wing Cap, she proceeded to try to jump right in his arms and give him a huge hug. Hugs were so much fun, so wonderfully delicious.. and she wanted to charm the life out of him. ♥[/size]

[Tony Redgrave]

Oh Joy, a flying glomp! Hm.. what to do.

Well, as a man there was only one possible course of action and that was to accept this show of friendship! A real man always accepts the affections of a female even if well, at the time and place it seems quite sudden. Maybe not all kisses and those super cuddles but what was one hug right? Ah but wait, Just then he remembered that he just couldn't do that just yet. How could he let someone hug him now? Its been a few days without a shower and though he couldn't smell it himself, his manly aroma had to be at full blast.

Sadly, it was for this reason that Nouri quickly back stepped out glomps way and move back a few more paces, a hint of embarrassment emanating from his countenance. He would have to be honest on this topic too as real men told the truth.(mostly) So with a heavy heart, he squeamishly relayed this information to the young girl. Ara.. please forgive for not accepting your greeting but truth be told, I have been on the road for quite sometime and I don't want to trouble you with the scent of my own manly vigor. He truly was ashamed of this. This was his first interaction and it had to go this route.. would the shame ever end?? Hopefully as he was in the very least polite when the time came.

"However, its really nice to see someone so cheerful like you. If you could give that hug a raincheck, inform me about this place, and well.. maybe point me in the direction of a place where I can wash up, I will accept the hug." That thought in mind brought a delighful little smile across his lips which he complimented with a short bow towards her "With those things in mind, please think well of me and allow me the chance to introduce myself... if that's is alright with you."

[Angel]

Oh.. the sudden embarrassment. When he dodged her hug, for a quick moment.. her rage and spiked, giving her normal brown eyes a few moments of firey red. Luckily, she was at least patient enough to listen to his explanation, but she did it all with a rather noticeable pout and with flushed cheeks of shame. It still felt like a rejection.. either way. If he had really been charmed, he wouldn't have been able to think of anything but her and not his stinky.

Brushing her hand threw her hair, she played with one of the locks of hair, absentmindedly spinning it around her finger.. trying to get her mind off the shame of momentary rejection. But nothing was going to stop this star from shining! "Buu.. otay!" she said, giggling and spinning on the balls of her feet once, letting her skirt fluff about fetchingly along her legs. She knew all the tricks, for sure.. she wanted to show off how cute she felt. At least she wasn't going to get all stinky and stuff, her own very noticeable floral scent was evident.. and her face was sparkly as if she sprayed some sort of perfumed glitter spray on herself recently.

"This ish the Mushroom Kingdom. It's the place where the famous Mario and Bowser fight super much. This place is ruled by Princess Peach.. for now.." she said, the last part more in a adorable whisper. Oh how this girl had bold dreams, she wanted to charm her way to the top. "We are really close to Toad Town, but like, not much else lives there but silly little mushroom people. It's like, whatever. They did make like, one place for big boys and girls like us.. but it's like, all they have." she was still trying to lay low around them, not mention she was related to.. almost WAS Bowser. They wouldn't like that, would they? Teehee~ she couldn't help but giggle outwards at the thought.

"You wanna go?" she wanted to get this over with so she could get down to shining at the centerstage. Oh, she was impatient ever so much.

[Tony Redgrave]

"Ah.. well thank you very much for understanding!" he gleefully said, still smiling as brightly as could be. But beneath his cheerful demeanor was a seething kettle of dread. For as he was giving his heartfelt apology, he felt a certain amount of uneasiness. The pout and slight flush seemed innocent enough.. but it looked like for a brief moment, her eyes turned fiery red. But that just couldn't right.. right?

~Heh.. why do I suddenly get the feeling that I barely dodged a boulder sized bullet?~

A brief thought but at this point, things seemed ok. She was back to being all bubbly and what not. Her natural charm however went largely noticed by the young lad. Sure, he was young and at that certain age but.. he was naive as well. Naive in the sense that feminine wales wasn't quite what he noticed. She was cute, he acknowledged that and she seemed pleasant enough but she was in Nouri's eyes, budding young girl. She wouldn't get him to swoon and fawn at her but he did find it all to be charming.

He quietly listened in on her explanation but it only left him with more questions. Where was it on the map? Who was Mario.. or Princess Peach for that manner. In fact, how was she ruling if she was only a princess? If he let his questions out now, it could take a while and that would be kinda rude. He didn't really know about this person nor did he reveal anything about himself either. Just for now, he would leave it to later and take up her offer to show him to a town.

"Well alrighty." he commented just after she finished. "I would like you to take me there if that's no trouble! But in the meantime, Maybe we should get to know each other a bit and.. I suppose I shall start us off." At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle. Now it was the first time he would introduce himself as a rogue and man was it exciting! Any man took pride in his birth given name of course and his title as well! Being a thief wasn't really something you announced but it didn't matter to him one bit what kind of reaction he would get. "I'm Nouri Aal Sephur and I'm The King Of Bandits!" Nouri exclaimed, clinching his fist for the extra dramatic effect "May I know your name as well? I know you said Mimi but.. you know, Tell me more and I shall do the same" Thus said the whimsical hero.

[Angel]

She smiled and giggled a bit again, oh.. he was very cute. And a King of Bandits hmm? It was so daringly lovely.. in a bad boy kinda way. But he also seemed nice and funny to with the way everything was OUT there and upfront, how could the perfect man end up someone she would have to get rid of sometime?

"Buuu! No fair, no fair!" She thought to herself. She didn't really have that much evil in mind, of course.. but she definitely knew that their friendship could only last a little while. Such a super-duper shame. She would delay it as long as possible at least, wasn't she so sweet? ♥

"My name is Mimi uh-huh." pausing a bit, she realized she didn't wanna give out her last name in a area that would know it's significance. " and like... My last name is a ladies secret." she said with a wink and yet another giggle. Oh, boys were so much fun, she decided. She started walking, and looked back and made sure he was following her. Always gotta make them chase! It was one of the ladies many super special secrets of mighty evil.

"I'm umm.. well, like how old you THINK I look?" she said with a super big blush, playing with the bottom of her miniskirt shyly. Sure.. she wasn't 100% sure of her age (she was kinda like, 0 or something actually), but she had about 11 years of fake memories.. so maybe around there? She did look like a budding pre-teen girl, but she liked to think she looked mature and sophisticated, like most little girls did.

But this question was dangerous. Even she didn't realize how much.

[Serras-Kai]

Nearby, something was happening all at once.

A small blue and a yellow Toad were passing by the strange forumer and the koopa lady, keeping their distance but trying not to create any conflict. They had no intention of fighting, but a nearby "?" block held the blank promise of self defense vacantly in its hidden confides.

A coin flew out. A single coin.

Annoyed, the blue Toad tried the next block, and was excited to hear something emerge from the top. However, his anger and disappointment spiked sharply when the thin, frail body of Allard Liao fell from atop the block, hitting the ground with a soft whump.

With a swift kick, the Toads rolled Allard vengefully into view of the Koopa lady, then whistled for her, hoping that the mockery of a man that Allard was would entice her enough to come over and greet him... and with any luck, devour him as well.

[Tony Redgrave]

"It seems I'm with a very important person at the start of my journey... how exciting." How neat! Maybe this whole lost thing was turning out for the better. A few days in and he found a nice young lady to guide him around and she had a known name around these parts too. He wanted to ask but it would be rude to press the issue on it. That and it seemed getting her mad would be a frightening experience in itself. Women.. they can be so nice and yet they can be so horrifyingly at once.

As for her question, that in itself could be dangerous too! From his experience, no woman wanted to hear the "wrong answer" to that. Whether it was too young or too old or just.. guessing age in general, there would always be a "how rude! Never ask that!" just like weight. What would be the correct response to this? Nouri's free hand moved up towards his chin and he slowly stroked it.. all while trying to keep up with this one's quickening pace

""Well, I can't say but so much.. it would be somewhat rude for me to guess in a sense. But I can tell you that you certainly look like a very beautiful young lady." words which were coupled with the typical "thumbs up" Hopefully, that would suffice. Unfortunately, before he could hear her response, a loud whistle sounded right in front of the two and a small young boy was punted over towards them by some.. pair of toads so it seemed. Now.. just what was happening now???

It seemed clear what was going down but just to be sure this wasn't some human soccer game he wanted to play, he had to ask. He motioned towards the poor little fella and knelt down to his lowly level of elevation. k ""Hey young dude on the ground, Are these thingys trying to beat you up for your lunch money or something? Nouri's gaze was then lifted a bit upward to the toads in question and he greeted them with a rather menacing looking grin. If so, Its time to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm out of bubblegum gentle...toads."" Hot damn that was cheesy and corny but it was fun to say, that was certain!

[Angel]

Oh. My. Gosh. This guy was so cute. A beautiful young lady? Her cheeks flushed with pride and she squeed, wanting to grab his hand and snuggle up to him. But then she remembered his blasted stink.. oh how men were so shy sometimes. Why was a little manly musk so bad..

Coming closer to him she attempted to grab a hold of him again, but missed her mark when she heard the whistle and he moved quickly. How horrible was that! But she did notice that another man had popped out of seemingly nowhere. How difficult. She guessed that this new guy looked pretty cute too, but it made things scary. Now there was two older guys that might possibly work together if she tried to get kinda.. .. physical with one of them. She decided right then and there that she would have to use her charm in a more deceiving way than she had in some time. She had to find a way to get them to not trust each other, to plant a seed of doubt that would allow her to get one of them to pick off the other and then just leave her one to deal with.

But she decided that finding the stronger one was the first right choice.. and she was thinking too far ahead. Right now, she had to charm and focus on their cuteness and just roll with it. But she had her plans, and she wasn't going to let anything stop her from shining!

Walking up to him, she made a little bitty pout. "Now who like, did this? How totally awful, the people around here can be so hostile towards strangers I think. Always on edge after that Crehaven or whoever he was. Or maybe they were just jealous of him or something." bending down after the Nouri guy said something threatening to the toads, she decided to concentrate on the new guy. Placing her hands on her knees, she looked at him softly. Yeah, he was pretty cute. "Are you okay?" she asked shyly, making a small "titter" noise by habit.

[Serras-Kai]

To be perfectly honest, Allard wasn't all that hurt. But he was thankful that the creature before him hadn't eaten him immediately, or torn at him or anything like that.

So he lay there, faking death.

Distantly he noticed the Toads flee, but he was more preoccupied with this creature and this guy now towering over him.

[Tony Redgrave]

From the looks of that little performance of his, it looked like he was well versed in the art of the possum as his skill with it was most impressive though.. whether that was really good or really bad, that was debatable. After all, just looking at the guy was heart wrenching. Small, frail, frightened out of his wits, and with the body of 7 year old girl who engages in little physical activity. How sad indeed but this was where Nouri could come in! For in this frail child, he saw his first official quest.

Quest One: Help The Beaten Up Kid

Starting... now!

The first step to helping out was to make sure the body was okie doke. But seeing him, it didn't seem like be broke any bones but then again, He wasn't Doctor Godhand either. Better to skip that step for now. Wait.. no.. better yet, the more he thought about it, this method idea really stunk. Better to simply skip to the basics and play it by heart just as a real man would! The first thought Nouri had was simply to see if he could stand up. Wasting no time on his petty ideas, he stood up from his little squat and extend his arm out towards the little guy. "So kid, can you stand up or do you want to gaze lovingly into our eyes a bit longer? " oho, after that silly remark, he couldn't help but chuckle

[Angel]

Buu.. this wasn't fun at all. He was just going to lay there. She wanted to jump on top of him and squsih him, but she didn't know how Nouri would react to that. So she turned around, pouting and let him deal with the situation. Didn't even wanna touch it right now, nu-uh. [/size][/font]

[Serras-Kai]

Well, the jig was up.

Allard rose to all fours, the titled his body in such a way as to place him in a sitting position, looking up at the two new... foes? They hadn't attacked him, which was a plus in it's own right, but he somehow got the feeling that the girl here didn't want him around. What a sad though.

"Oh, sorry... I didn't mean to intrude." He said softly, almost as a whisper. He would be more surprised if they understood him than anything else right now. But it wasn't like he had anything more pressing to be doing at this exact moment, so he did nothing, opting for the 'please just ignore me and I'll go on my own' sort of approach.

[Tony Redgrave]

Huh? Seriously??? After all of that, that's all he had to say? This kid basically just said sorry for getting his ass beat and being sent in their direction! Oh no.. no this would not do for a real man would first give the people who helped him out his sincerest gratitude! Well, this was a child, point acknowledged but one day, he was going to be a man. The seeds of manliness had to be planted at one point and now, it was time to pay it forward.

Manly Rule #1: Real men acknowledge when help has been given and don't be wimpy in the face of said help.

Yeah.. that one is going to have to be written down for future reference but first, the current situation had to change for this one. A man has to be strong and firm so that he can make his own path in life and not necessary in body. Being strong spirit wise was most important and this dude was lacking in that.

At this point, Nouri's brow furrowed, as clearly, he was irritated by this show of unmanlyness. With the very same hand he had used to reach out to the kid, he instead reached behind the lads head, taking hold of the back of his collar and lifting him right up to his feet. "Oi Kiddo.." the young bandit spoke in a stern manner. "You're going to grow up to be a man one day... so act like it! Speak up so we can hear you and don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault!" but wait.. as he spoke, he caught the fact that his speech could be a bit intimidating. That and the more he looked at this guy, it was clear that he was miserable. Slowly, his flustered expression changed to a more saddened one. He just hoped that this guy wouldn't run away in fear or something..
