I've Got the Strangest Feeling This Isn't Our First Time Around

56

The music is deafening, much like the case for the rave.

"Talk to me." Mario orders upon landing. "Where did we go?"

"Straight into someone's backyard." Luigi looks down. "And we're in their pool."

Luigi looks around, "I think I see who we're looking for. She's here with her friends." Then notes, "Wow, this place is gorgeous. Is all of Poshley Heights like this?"

"Yeah, it is." Mario says, taking in the surroundings as they appear to him. "So our victim is loaded?"

"She could also be acquainted with the owner."

Luigi hears someone say to their victim, " Best Star Festival ever! "

"What's the Star Festival?" Luigi asks, right as the scene changes. "Okay, now we're inside. Same Toad, dancing with her friend."

"So let's find some sort of ID." Mario reminds him. "Anything with an address on it."

Luigi walks down a long hallway, hearing a small Chain Chomp and watching as the Toad walks over to shush him.

"Apparently she has a Chain Chomp?" Luigi says unhelpfully.

" Still need a name. "

"For the Chomp?" Luigi jokes.

"The Toad, smartass." Mario says.

Luigi finds the Toad sitting on the couch. "Okay, now she's posing with pictures of a magazine. It looks like the house on the cover."

Mario taps his earpiece, "Someone look at all the magazines in circulation in Poshley Heights."

" Done. "

Luigi notices, "And this place has more security than my phone.", and as the dream changes again, "Lot of paintings." And another change. "Wow. Even in bathrooms."
And after another change, Luigi says quickly, "Okay, now the bathroom's changed."

" How many bathrooms does a rich person need?"

Luigi walks around, as he hears,

" Time's running out."

"What do you mean changed?" Mario asks, now slightly nervous.

"I don't think we're in the mansion anymore. This bathroom looks like a normal one."

"I need to wake you up, Weeg." Mario says urgently.

Luigi looks at the Toad messing with her toilet for a moment, then says, "Okay, go!"

Mario does just that, and Luigi's awake before he can register the dream disappearing.

Unfortunately, Luigi has to inform them as they approach the bed, "Sorry, I couldn't find a name."

"Or the killer?" Snoozemore asks.

"Nope." Luigi shakes his head. "She seemed like she had a lot of friends. Just a Toad that liked partying on the rich side of town."
