Unwritten: Diary of a Lean Green Plumber

They See Me Rolling

Dear Diary,

Well—as far as Nintendo's concerned, it's still the Year of Me! A few extra months could do me some good. My special year was announced last February, anyway, so it hasn't officially been a year yet.

The fourth Smash tournament is scheduled to begin later this year, as early as September. Mario and I are already at work preparing, packing our stuff and sparring together. BJ had already told us that Koopa and the Koopalings had been invited, and we already knew that Peach and most of the veterans, including Dr. Mario, were returning. I've gotten cards and gift baskets from the majority of the Smashers, wishing me a happy anniversary and a happier Year of Luigi, and they also made sure to call after my exploits in Evershade Valley, telling me that they hoped to see me back on the battlefield. Luckily, there would be no interruptions like in Brawl.

But then, there's still my Final Smash to consider. Now that no more negative feelings are weighing me down, chances are that my Negative Zone won't be of any use. Good thing I have a backup plan—I just need to bring it to Master Hand's attention and make a few adjustments, and it'll be ready to go!

I'll check back later!

Dear Diary,

I didn't get a warning. There was no effort to stop the blow. All I got was a phone call and a blunt announcement: "The Year of Luigi is over."

What can I say? I've had a good run last year. Conquering my phasmophobia once and for all, giving King Boo, Antasma and Koopa a run for their money, growing into a giant to protect Mario, leading a mission to rescue Peach. What more could I want now? The only direction available to me is forward, so that's how I'm moving.

Hours after the news dropped, calls from Josh, Grace and their families came pouring in. I get that they're trying to look out for me, but I don't need to be coddled. I'm fine. I'm really fine. My year is over, but the fourth Smash tournament is about to begin—yet another opportunity to show everyone everywhere what this man in green can do.

Dear Diary,

Close to two years after they first separated, Grace and Roland have reconciled, and the former has moved back in. She was so happy when she called me with the news. Going into counseling was definitely a wise decision on their part. However, they were taking things slowly. Roland had to work to regain his wife's trust, and Grace had to work to let her hubby back in. By the looks of things, I think they're going to do it.

Despite this, I really hope Grace knows what she's doing. It's not my call, but I still hope she knows.
