| ON HAITUS | Translation (Luigi x Reader)

Adventure Awaits!

~~{How ya doin'?~~}

"Okay, this ain't good.." 

A familiar red-clad plumber was atop a hill peak, overlooking a valley overtaken with a sickly purple color. Everything that was healthy and green and growing, was now ugly and purple. In the wind the hero could sense a rank, disgusting, rotting smell from the place as well. Heck, even the sky and water was a not-so-good color, and the hero was a bit weary on what this strange purpley stuff does to whoever and whatever lived here. It certainly did a number to the plants here, and he could imagine what else it could do. Not to mention, this was at a usual route he takes when on these usual quests. Just what exactly happened here, and why?

Just before he got the chance to ponder this question, he heard rather familiar voices coming from behind, so he turns to look. What he found did not help him feel better. It was bad enough Luigi has come to join him, but (Y/N) too? Jeez, might as well take the whole kingdom.

"What the heck are you guys doing here?" Mario asked with a displeased tone once the two came to his side, frowning, "Shouldn't you two be, I don't know, doing English?"

(Y/N) wasn't at all surprised by Mario's drop in the stereotypical Italian accent, or his displeased tone, and in fact gave a little look of (her/his) own. "A thank you would've been nice.. We wanted to help."

Luigi made a look, and says in Italian, 'It wasn't my idea. Sorry.' 

Mario looks at his brother, blank then back at (Y/N), "This could be, y'know, dangerous. And honestly I wish I could tell you that what's going on is a usual thing and I had this covered.." the shorter brother admits, brows furrowed in frustration, displeasure and confusion. 

"But, what could you do? Even Luigi isn't-"

"Isn't what, Mario?"

He opens his mouth to say something, thought against it and closes it, then opens it again and says instead, "Listen, you understand that coming along makes my job several times harder by having to watch out for more people, right? I know I can take care of myself, Luigi could, but what about you? Don't mean to offend but," He smirks a little and pokes (Y/N) in the stomach. "you don't seem like the athletic type."

(Y/N) taps his gloved hand away and pokes him in the gut also. "Between you and me, Mario, Luigi seems to have the best shape out of us three anyways."

"I try." Said green clad man.

"See?"

"I know. Trust me, I'm trying here..." Mario grumbles, rubbing his stomach. "Back to the point though, are ya willing to do what I tell ya to do the moment I tell you? I mean it could mean life and death.."

The teacher nods, and Luigi mumbles a little bit under his breath too quietly for the other two of the party of three to hear. "Well if it's about life or death then I got no choice."

"Great! Because," Mario then turns gesturing with a hand to the purple infested environment down below them, "this is very worrying."

~~{I got a really big surprise for you nerds later on that'll in fact  take up not one, not two, but THREE whole books! Ain't that fantastic???! Okay I lied about 1.5 K words but I guess this works too. I'll definitely add more if y'all want.}~~
