Morning dawned once more over Peach’s castle, and the Koopa Troop went through the closest thing to a morning routine they had had since they arrived in the world of light. Piling out of the large shared bedroom and then heading down to invade the kitchen in-order to acquire a hearty breakfast. 

The main difference from yesterday was that all their clothes and gear had been cleaned, and just in time too. A day of rest had been most welcome, but adventure awaited them once again. The gang suited up, literally in Bowser’s case, while Rika tossed her old blue cape-like jacket and various satchels over the top of her new yellow sundress which certainly resulted in a look, that was for sure. 

Kamek meanwhile donned her old, heavily modified, mages outfit mainly for the pocket-space while Jr personally had his trusty bib, duffle bag of gear and bandoleer of (2) pokeballs strapped to his chest. Oh and the prince also had his new and improved clown car, which was a fair bit bulkier as a result of it sporting some reinforced armor which housed the egg mobile's anti-gravity systems. The other visible change was a little windshield on the front that made it a bit more aerodynamic, which was useful considering it could now deploy a pair of small wings and a rocket engine from the back for increased speed. The new massive wrecking ball further added to the upgrade, adding a nice heavy hitter to the car’s eclectic arsenal. 

The boy had worked late in-order to pull this off despite Kamek’s suggestion otherwise, so he ended up sleeping through a lot of the subsequent meeting. For him, Rika and Bowser the trip to that meeting was fairly uneventful, but for Kamek, well, she ended up doing a double take upon seeing a vaguely familiar child in a place she would not have expected to do so.

[color=DeepSkyBlue]”Hello there, I’m Kamek, nice to meet you. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you and I very briefly crossed paths yesterday at the market in Limsa Lominscuttle Town?”[/color] The mage asked after diverting away from the rest of the group in-order to introduce herself to the boy, before adding [color=DeepSkyBlue]”How in the world did you get here?”[/color], then after checking his eyes [color=DeepSkyBlue]”and how are you fairing with your new understanding of reality?”[/color] and finally [color=DeepSkyBlue]”Is there anything I can do to help you or are you settling in just fine?”[/color]

While the mage got sidetracked the rest of the troop headed for their destination, a meeting on where they’d be going next that they’d agreed to do over breakfast with Peach. Finding the princess there, and the speedy Ms Fortune, was no big surprise. What was was the fact that they had apparently upgraded from the hand drawn map that had been (unbeknownst to the seekers) left for them to find by organization 13. 

Bowser gave a whistle and a comment of [color=FD0000]”fancy”/[/color] upon seeing it, before cupping a hand under one chin and scanning his eyes over it. While junior parked his car in a corner and took a catnap Rika goggled at the sheer size of the map the world, tracing a pointed finger from Limsa Lominscuttle Town all the way up to Carcass Isle to get a sense of how little of it she had seen.

“Wow, its so big” she marveled “and so many places to go”

[color=FD0000]”Hmm? Yeah, right on the second, we’ve only been… well we started here”[/color] Bowser pointed down at the bottom center of the map to Precipice Knoll, and then transcend their route across the map for her [color=FD0000]”went up to peach’s castle here, then along here to Lumbrige, messed about a bit, then went through here to Alcamoth”[/color] 

“Wait, they're that far apart?” the ship girl interjected, talking about the distance between peach’s castle where they had woken up and Alcamoth, the place they had gotten to in mere moments of travel thanks to Jr’s painting.

[color=FD0000]”Heh. You think that’s far? Next we went all the way from Lumbrige to Inkwell Isle all the way over here in the blink of an eye through some hole in space”[/color] Bowser said, getting another amazed sound from Rika [color=FD0000]”and then we took a boat to Limes-a- loin-scuttle town and then you know the rest”[/color] Bowser said, managing to butcher the long named town’s name in the process.

“That still leaves so many places”

[color=FD0000]”I mean I guess. But then again, this is supposed to be a mashup of everything from every world, yet there's what, like, a big country’s worth of stuff? You kinda have to ask where everything else is, you know, LIKE MY CASTLE!”[/color] the king yelled that last bit in the vague direction he thought Galeem was in (and getting it entirely wrong) before sighing and adding [color=FD0000]”Well anyway, we’ve poked at this Deadzone place a bit, forgot to mention that, and some other group’s hitting up that big desert, so I guess we’ll wanna do something vaguely over here?”[/color] the king concluded before waving a hand at the entire west of the landmass.

“Mmmm, I got it” Rika said, before focusing her world scanning to that general area to see what the places they might be going next were like.

While she did that Bowser had a thought and turned to the psychic pokemon inorder to ask [color=FD0000]”Hey Mewtwo, do we know how those other people are doing anyway? You know, the big bee and the furball and his robot and stuff…”[/color] he paused and then clicked his fingers a few times before finally snapping them as he remembered some names [color=FD0000]”Tora and Poppie! Yeah them. And, uh, Sec something. Sec-topia? Anyway, any of them touched in to let us know they’re good recently?”[/color]
