[color=FD0000]”Me, your bodyguard? Hahahahahaha”[/color] the king had a right belly laugh at Susie’s suggestion before explaining [color=FD0000]”Little miss I am Bowser, the koopa king! The biggest baddest boss that ever was or ever will be. I’ve rioted across the dimensions and conquered galaxies, and I don't play second fiddle to nobody no more”[/color] before crossing his arms and nodding to himself matter of factly.

He let that statement hang for a moment, and then spread his arms and graciously informed her that [color=FD0000]”Now you couldn't have know that, world being as it is, so I’ll let this slide, long as you know who’s boss”[/color] before putting his hands on his hips and saying [color=FD0000]”and besides, I could always use more minions with a rap sheet like yours”[/color] because it certainly was impressive sounding, even if it didn't quite step up to his storied history in the king’s entirely biased opinion.

Speaking of the past and deeds done in past worlds, the king could certainly relate to Karin’s horror at having lost all of the personal possessions and loyal troops she had amassed over her life to the universal rebuilding process. He also admired the personal loyalty of her servant and generally did not agree with Sakura’s assessment that she was a weirdo.

[color=FD0000]”Nah I think she’s pretty alright in the head priorities wise”[/color] the King commented, probably reinforcing Sakura’s belief in the process, though he did have one point which was that [color=FD0000]”this would be a lot easier with all our mooks and superweapons at hand after all. We wouldn't be having to much around in a dinky cargoship if we had my airship fleet for example”[/color]

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Yes well, be as it may, the best we can do is try and acquire what we can in this world resource and support wise. Such as putting our new business partner’s skill to use in bartering for gear”[/color] Kamek suggested [color=DeepSkyBlue]”But maybe after dinner, as Rika suggested”[/color]

Which, as their stomachs suggested at the mention of it, should be something they got going to go and do fairly soon. As such, when Peach suggested it, there was little hesitation among most of the troop to pack up shop and go get some grub. 

The only exception was Jr, who hung back to give a somewhat drawn out farewell to Lana, who needed to be getting on home, what with it being close to dinner time and all.

“I’ll see you around some time?” she said, once most of the party had already set off (including the grand magus who Kamek had had no issue inviting along. It meant she could keep an eye on him after all, because there was no desire to play out the Sephiroth situation all over again)

[color=SpringGreen]”Yeah… sure I’ll see you when I see you”[/color] jr agreed after a few moments of hesitation, knowing that it was unlikely they’d be back any time soon. Still, with Kamek calling for him to [color=DeepSkyBlue]”come along now young master”[/color] he bid his final farewells and headed with the others to dinner, knowing in his heart that they’d probably never meet again.

The prince shoved that feeling down into his guts, where it joined his growing hunger and meant that he was positively famished by the time the group set themselves up in the Rum for Ale. The the troop parked itself around Bowser’s heavy duty stool (which he still needed even after shrinking down to his minimum size) and ordered a round of nonalcoholic drinks to start them off: cola for Jr, root beer for Bowser, sparkling apple juice for Kamek, an eclectic fruit juice for Rika and water (in suitably sized pet bowls) for the pokemon.
