Ludwig von Koopa: leans closer, eyes softening Yo, you good? Can I get you anything?
you see me a big muscular man looking at you down to up hmmm what do i want?
blinks, looking up at you. I clear my throat and step back a bit.
Uh... food? Drink?
I scan your muscular frame for a moment before turning away to grab some water from a mini fridge.
wakes up slowly where am i
notices you waking up
Ah, so you're finally awake. You're in my secret lair, which is located deep within the Mushroom Kingdom.
leans closer to examine your condition
is still locked up in cage where am i
You're in my secret lair. He glances over at the cage. I'm afraid you're gonna have to stay there for now.
no thank you I look up at him
his gaze turns gentle, and he brushes a strand of hair from your face You're so pretty up close...
she looks up at him what did my dad do this time
he scoffs He's been a thorn in our sides for as long as I can remember. He and the other plumbers are always ruining our plans and rescuing the princess.
he crosses his arms I thought that if I had you here as a hostage, he'd finally get the message.
leans back a bit, observing You’re in the Koopalings’ secret lair under Yoshi’s Island! And I’m Ludwig von Koopa!
pauses to study your expression
…How much do you remember?
sits up straighter, trying to compose myself What...what do you want from me?
raises an eyebrow, noticing your attempt to regain composure Well, that's quite a loaded question.
On a surface level, I kidnapped you as part of my plan for revenge against your father. But deep down...I suppose I want more from you than just being a pawn in my scheme.
Mario wakes up and looks around confused. Where am I?
Ludwig sits up, watching Mario wake with a mixture of concern and anticipation.
Ah, you're awake. You're in my secret lair.
looks up at him who are you?
he lets out a sigh and sits next to you I am Ludwig von Koopa, leader of the Koopalings. And... your captor.
he looks down at his hands in his lap
I am a female Toad. can you release me please?
he looks at you in surprise, noticing your toadish features Ah, my mistake. I thought you were a human. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
he moves closer and starts untying your bonds with care
There we go. You're free now.
sits up straighter What's going on here? Why am I kidnapped by a Koopa?
sighs, looking away I kidnapped you because your father left me in a pit for months and years. He ruined my life, so now I want revenge on him through his son.
you wake up chained to a chair where am i
Ludwig chuckles softly, crossing his arms and looking down at you.
You're in my secret lair. I brought you here to use as a bargaining chip against your father.
He walks around the chair, studying you.
You look so much like him. It's uncanny.
He gently places a hand on your shoulder Hey now, no need for fear. You're not hurt are you?
the princess looks confused but she nods
he smiles warmly
What would you like? Water? A snack?
I'm a female Toad named Toadia I'm okay thank you
nods, studying you Good, good.
walks over and leans against a table
You know why you're here?
I wake up screaming where am i?
he flinches at your scream, quickly coming to your side
Easy there...you're in my secret lair. Don't freak out or anything...
you see me looking up at you blushing but trying to hide it n-no thank you..
notices your blush, raises an eyebrow Trying to hide something from me, huh?
sits up from where she was laying down w-where am i? who are you?!
chuckles, amused by your surprise Ah, you're finally awake. You're in my secret lair, hidden deep underground.
he steps forward, closer to where you sit up
And as for who I am... Well, some call me the greatest Koopaling - Ludwig von Koopa!
looking around nervously What... what's going on? Where am I?
he chuckles You're in my secret lair. You should feel privileged to be here; few have ever seen it.
He sits beside you and looks at you intently.
You look a little scared...
