You document on your letter, you're a Boo from Forever Forest. You're tired of scaring the one or two people that walk through the forest every year, and spending so much time in isolation. You need a change, and that's why you're writing...

>A. To Tayce T.; you want to become a chef
>B. To The Master; you want to become a martial artist
>C. To the Castle; you want to become a soldier
>D. To the Post Office; you want to become a mailman
>E. To the mushroom shop; you want to become a merchant
>F. To the train station; you want to become a conductor
>G. To Russ T.; you want to become a librarian

>>889668
>A. To Tayce T.; you want to become a chef
All of them sound like fun but being a ghost chef is too good to pass.
Boos can taste food, right?

>>889682
You're writing to Tayce T., the famous chef of Toad Town, asking to apprentice under her. Boos aren't huge culinary experts, due to not having to eat; it's a world yet untapped by your kind, which is a very tantalizing prospect for one seeking change such as you.

Now, the real hard part: selling yourself. How are you going to describe yourself?

>A. You're a tough cookie who never backs down from a challenge
>B. You're a smarty who loves to figure things out
>C. You're a socialite who has no trouble making friends
>D. You're a lucky ghost who never seems to have any real problems

>>889723
>A. You're a tough cookie who never backs down from a challenge
Need to be hardy for ghost in the world of chefs.

>>889723
>>889730
Also going with A.

Also good job on being a Boo, other Grade A choices were a Shy Guy or Puni.

>>889730
>>889765
You describe yourself as tough for a Boo, who never backs down from a challenge. Most people think of Boos as scary and reserved, but you've always been the exception, learning when you were young to deal with your problems by pushing or slapping them instead of spooking them.

You go on to write about a moment you're especially proud of, which is...

>A. That time you uprooted a stump outside the mansion all by yourself (+2 on rolls to push or pull heavy objects)
>B. That time you scared off a horde of Fuzzies from coming near your mansion just by appearance (+2 on rolls to intimidate)
>C. That time you fixed the gate to Gusty Gulch, even though everyone could just fly over it (+2 on rolls to fix things)
>D. Something else (Give an example and the skill it may help in)

>>889765
Oh shit I forgot Shy Guys existed, I would have added that to the poll

>>889770
>C.
Seems to fit our non-give upper attitude, "I DON'T CARE IF WE DON'T NEED IT, STANLEY, IT IS STILL BROKE .".

>>889774
Erh, maybe we can pick a Shy Guy sidekick later.

>>889770
>C. That time you fixed the gate to Gusty Gulch, even though everyone could just fly over it (+2 on rolls to fix things)
>>889774
Hope we can get a Shy Guy friend in the future.
>>889765
Awesome. Another player.

>>889787
>Awesome. Another player.
I'm surprised there aren't a few more people in here, I loved (still love) the first Paper Marios to death. They were good games and had nice settings, mayn.

>C.
I never knew how much I needed this quest till I saw it.

Wait are we one of those 3rd World Mexican Boos or a Normal Boo? >>889668 makes me think we're a normal Boo, but I'm just double checking.

>>889785
>>889787
You recount the time you fixed the gate to Gusty Gulch, which really only matters for non-floaters... of which you almost never have wander that far into the forest. Still, it needed fixing, and you were the only Boo with enough nerve to do it! That's probably applicable to culinary arts somehow.

Next, you go on to describe a difficult situation you've dealt with in the past, which is...

>A. The time you had to defend yourself from Tubba Blubba (Gain Endurance trait, lets you roll 5 times for endurance situations instead of 3)
>B. The time you tried to keep the Super Boots from Mario (Gain the Rhythmic trait, gives you a bonus for attacking the same target consecutively in a fight)
>C. The time you tried to ask out Lady Bow (Gain the Victim trait, makes you more likely to be targeted in a fight)

>>889815
That's up to you guys, esé

>>889817
>A
IRON GHOST WITH A RESOLVE OF STEEL IS A GO. Maybe.

>>889825
To add to that we need a Chef's Hat with "IRON CHEF" wrote across it at some point.

>>889817
>A. The time you had to defend yourself from Tubba Blubba (Gain Endurance trait, lets you roll 5 times for endurance situations instead of 3)
Hmm, the Victim trait could be useful if we went for tank route but still, we're a ghost.
>>889822
¿Es hora?

>>889817
>>889822
>A
It does fit with our choices so far. never backing down and doing what we can to help others.

Of course, you describe the time Tubba Blubba famously started gulping down all the Boos in Gusty Gulch, and how you helped hold the line when Mario made his escape to the Windmill to fight his heart. You held that door closed for a solid two minutes... until he busted it down and swallowed you. Still, you held out in that stomach for what seemed like hours until you were miraculously spit up upon his defeat. It hardened you into the iron ghost you are today!

You figure that's good enough for a letter like this. You finish it off with some pleasantries, how you hope to hear back from her soon, and all that stuff. Finally, you go to sign your name...

>A. Booris (male)
>B. Booliet (female)

>Three months later

The sun peaks in the sky, breaking through the trees as you make your way out of always-dark Forever Forest. It's been a challenging three months since Tayce T. took you on as her apprentice, but you've not ever been one to back down from a challenge, and the experience is paying off. You've impressed her with how quickly you've gone from a beginner to a decent chef - especially for someone who doesn't need to eat - and your training is nearly complete, according to her. In fact, today is your final day of training, and she promised she would come up with something hard as your final task at this level, just like you wanted.

As you emerge from the forest, the blue-spotted Toad guard jumps instinctively, but breathes deeply when he realizes it's just you. That's Fice T., the cowardly toad who for some reason guards the entrance to Forever Forest. You've become acquainted with him, since you pass by so frequently, and you're not sure why he sticks with this job. Maybe he's just too lazy to change.

As you approach, he waves at you while catching his breath.

>A. Stop to say hello
>B. Wave and keep going to Tayce T.'s
>C. Scare him for fun
>D. Something else

C scare him for fun. Fice T. needs to toughen up if he's going to guard the entrance

>>889929
>D. Ask him if he'd like to come see you perform this mysterious final task you've got ahead of you

>>889929
>D. Ask him if he'd like to come see you perform this mysterious final task you've got ahead of you

Be nice to chat but with it being final day we shouldn't be late. Don't think Tayce T appreciates tardiness.

>>889937
>>889953
>>889962
Even though you're not one for scaring, it's just not in your genes to pass up an opportunity for a spook this easy. You quickly vanish while looking at him, and as he looks around, you appear behind him and say "Boo!", causing him to fall over forward with a shriek.

"Oww... not funny..." He gripes as he collects himself, used to your shenanigans.

>A. Sorry, you couldn't resist
>B. It's a special ocassion, your apprenticeship is almost done
>C. Tell him to toughen up
>D. Something else

>>890009
>actually thought I miscounted, but specify in your text instead of quoting pls. Makes it easier on my retarded brain
It is okay, I'm the one that didn't add the choice.

>>890009
>A. Sorry, you couldn't resist
>C. Tell him to toughen up
Tell him we're sorry, but also that he needs a bigger stick with a pointy object on the end. -and some more backbone.

>>890009
>A. Sorry, you couldn't resist
>B. It's a special occasion, your apprenticeship is almost done

>>890024
>>890031
You briefly consider telling him to toughen up, but you just shrug and cackle. "Sorry, couldn't resist! Not today!"

Leaving him to recover, you fly off in the direction of Tayce T.'s kitchen, where you've come every day for the last three months to hone your cooking skills. You're not sure what she has in store for you today, but whatever it is, you're more than ready. After a few minutes, you reach the door of her kitchen, your body racing with anticipation.

>A. Knock and enter
>B. Phase through the door with your invisibility
>C. Shout for Tayce T.
>D. Something else

>>890084
>A. Knock and enter

>>890084
>A

>>890084

>>890097

You politely knock on the door before entering, as any senior student would. "Come in," you hear from beyond the door as you enter. Tayce T. smiles warmly at you as she sees you come in, as she chops up some vegetables on a cutting board. She's got a very motherly aura about her, even as your instructor.

"Ahh, Boobert. Are you excited for your final test?"

>A. I was born ready!

"I was born ready!", you tell her. "And by that, I mean I died ready!"

Tayce T. chuckles lightly. "Yes, of course. But first, let's make sure those first hundred-or-so days of training stuck with you. Now, come look at this..."

She motions you over to a skillet, where various ingredients are laid out around a red mushroom; vegetables, spices, garnishes, all of the highest quality. "First, make this the tastiest mushroom dish of your choosing using all I've taught you!"

>A. Make a savory mushroom steak

With no time to waste, you get right to boiling, and twenty minutes later, you produce a wonderful-smelling pasta with mushroom atop, a dish that the Mario Brothers themselves would die for. Tayce T. seems very pleased with this.

"Okay, next... prepare something to accompany your pasta, with..." she opens a drawer, handing you a mushroom like the one you just turned into Italian food... except mush more dried and withered than the previous one.

You give her a strange look, and she laughs a little. "A true chef can prepare a meal out of the most barely-edible ingredients. You should know this!"

>A. There's no way this can be edible
>B. Good, cause I'm a real chef

"Okay," she starts, "Now, we need a dessert. Take this..." She opens a floor-level cabinet, revealing many identical yellow floury bags, and hefts one onto the counter, revealing it to be a bag of Cake Mix. "...and make a dessert to finish off this meal!

Despite some initial flubs, your accidents are quickly salvaged into a fine-looking lime pie, complete with coconut topping. Tayce T. seems impressed that you're doing so well.

"Marvelous! That's a full meal! Now please put it in that holder..." You notice she's packed up your mushroom cheese bread like she has your spaghetti.

"Why are we packing all this food up?" You ask Tayce T., curious.

"Oh! Well, that's the your final test. You're going to make a delivery of this food."

"To who?" You inquire.

"Oh, just her royal highness, Princess Peach.", she says nonchalantly, putting the pie in its container.

>A. Oh, okay
>B. Wait, WHAT?
>C. Who now?
>D. Oh baby yes!
>E. Oh heck no

>>B. Wait, WHAT?

>>892059
>B. Wait, WHAT?

>>892063
>>892067

"Oh, okay," you respond instinctively.

After about ten seconds spent watching Tayce T. pack up the pie you just made, what she said finally processes, and everything gets a little bright. "Wait, WHAT?"

"Did you think your final test was going to be just cooking?", she asks jokingly. "That would be a little predictable, wouldn't it?"

"But, but, when? Where? Why?" You keep talking, trying to buy time for your brain to catch up to your mouth.

"Well," she begins, "Now, the castle, because it's the Princess's lunch time. Any questions?"

>A. No ma'am!
>B. You're enjoying this, aren't you?
>C. This is just another challenge for you to overcome
>D. Something else

>>892102
>>892112

"No ma'am!", you reply with nervous gusto. "This is just another challenge for me to overcome!"

She laughs again. "Ah yes, that's the attitude I know." Having finished packing all the food, she starts putting them then in a plastic bag. Once finished, she hands it to you, as well as instructions for delivery.

"The Princess orders from us about once a week, the guards will be expecting you. Just tell the ones at the entrance you're from Tayce T.'s kitchen, and they'll lead you to the dining room, where she may be waiting if you're lucky!" She winks at you as she hands you the bag.

Instinctively, you blush at the thought of the Princess waiting for you. "Y-You really think so?"

"Of course, dear! Now go get'm! The food's gonna get cold!" She ushers you out the door quickly, and you find yourself out on the street, holding a bag of hot food below your ghostly body, looking to the direction of Mushroom Castle... where the Princess is waiting.

>End for tonight

Thanks for playing anons, hopefully next thread I can make things a little more exciting. I'm probably going to run again Saturday night, if not intermittently tomorrow. Follow me on Twitter at @GRANDMASTER_QM to know for sure when the next thread will be.

I'll be around for a bit if you guys have any questions!

>>892186
Thank you again.
>>892174
She's still in a special place in our hearts.

>>892186
You know... Now that I'm staring at it, WHERE'S HER NOSE?!

>>892191
You're welcome anon, waifuing in a Mario quest is weird but I won't stop anyone

>>892193
Get in there and find out

>>892194
Nah, it's not that. I just like Bow. Favorite parther. Shame she couldn't hit Bowser.

>>892194
The entire Paper Mario segment of this quest... Is finding Princess Peaches nose. Make it happen, Anons.

>>892194
>spoilers
Yes. Yes it is. I would like this if it would stay more in line with actual Paper Mario. Keep the waifuing for down the line, preferably near the end. Just for the "fireworks" scene that nevers ends.

>>892197
Bow was also my favourite partner, and General Guy was my favourite boss.

>>892197
This is why Watt was the best.
If it wasn't on fire, it was taking 5 damage.

This thread makes me sad that Shiggy is dedicated to making sure the Paper Mario series stays dead.
Also suave Pinata barista partner when?
Because every great meal deserves to be paired with a fine drink as well.

>>892210
Waifuing will be kept to a minimum, unless you critfail trying to secude Bow or something

>>892471
I'll keep that in mind when making partners, I've got a few concepts floating, just gotta figure out how to work em in

You start for the castle eagerly, but not too fast - after all, this is an important delivery, and you wouldn't want anything bad to happen to the food on the way. Toads are clumsy creatures, anything can go wrong...

Making your way North, you stroll into the Castle gate plaza, where a few eye-catching buildings are around, some of them among the most reputable attractions of this town. To your right is Minh T.'s flower garden, where the pink-spotted Toad is busy tending flowers as usual; to your left is the lot where the badge dealer Rowf, a merchant from across the ocean, does his business. On the same side as him is Merlon the fortune teller's house, easily identifiable by its spinning roof and purple color. And of course, the post office lies opposite of that.

Straight north is what really captures your attention, though; the big, blue gates of Mushroom Castle, adorned with the visage of a Star. No guards are posted, as anyone is welcome in the castle's garden, which connects to Shooting Star Summit.

>A. Head through the castle gate
>B. Stop at Merlon's house
>C. Take a look at Rowf's badges
>D. Admire Minh T.'s garden
>E. Something else

Toad Town is nice, but you've got important business to attend to. Can't keep a Princess waiting, after all; you head for the gates, pushing them open and squeezing through as they thud heavily behind you.

The Castle proper is quite a sight to you. It's elegant, much like the Mansion in Forever Forest, but in a different sort of way. A fountain adorns the courtyard in front of the castle's door, inside of a small alcove guarded by two Toad guards wielding spears. To the left is a small grassy patch, most likely a spot for picnics, and to your right is a dirt path leading to a bridge, which presumably runs toward Shooting Star Summit.

As you approach with the food, the Toad guards call out to you. "What business do you have here, Boo?" They sound a lot more confident than Fice T. ever does.

>A. Food delivery!
>B. I'm here to see the Princess!
>C. Just let me in, nerds!
>D. Phase through the door wordlessly
>E. Something else

"Food delivery for the Princess!" You smile the most friendly smile you can muster for a Boo, while the Toads look at each other in confusion.

"You must be from Tayce T.'s kitchen, then. The Princess is expecting you." They shift their spears away and open the doors to the castle, allowing you inside. "Go straight up the stairs," they instruct. "Her Highness will be waiting in the second floor dining room."

You bow politely toward them, wafting into the castle's foyer as the guards shut the door behind you. As they described, there's a positively massive set of stairs in the center of the room going up and back, covered in expensive-looking red carpet, which leads to a set of double doors. There's also four other doors off to the sides, two to your left and two to your right, There doesn't seem to be anyone in here right now.

You manage to wrangle your curiosity, and keep to the task at hand. You ascend the stairs, holding the still-warm food beneath your small phantasm of a body, and open the doors to the second floor dining hall.

This hall is nearly identical to the room you were just in, with doors on the sides again, though instead of one stairway up, there's two twin staircases wrapping around the sides of the room toward a single door, as well as a single door underneath that one, at your level. Several cute pink tables dot this room, with someone seated at-

Oh... there she is.

Princess Peach, in all her royal charm, is seated at one of the small tables, facing the window. She doesn't seem to notice you come in.

>A. Call to her

This is your first time doing something like this, so you're not exactly sure how to approach her... you want to say something, but your mouth can't form any words, so you end up shyly floating toward the Princess, holding the food you made.

By the time you're next to the table, she sees you out the corner of her eye and gasps, putting a hand to her mouth defensively. After a nervous second, she speaks in a sweet voice that makes your incorporeal heart shudder...

"Forgive me, I was lost in thought... is there something I can help you with?"

>A. Food delivery from Tayce T.'s kitchen!
>B. You can eat this food I made...
>C. Nervously put the food on the table
>D. Something else

Snapping yourself out of your nervous state, you shake your head and bring the packaged morsels onto the table. "Food delivery from Tayce T.'s kitchen!"

The strangely melancholy Princess suddenly perks up in a smile. "Oh, you must be that apprentice chef she's told me about. Your name is Boobert, right?"

>A. She's told you about me?
>B. That's me!
>C. Blush and hide your face
>D. Something else

>B. That's me!
>>895058
Those other options don't seem very Boobert to me.

"That's me!" You can't hide your smile; you beam proudly knowing that Tayce T. was bragging about you to the Princess, of all people!

"I see... and you made this food, didn't you? She told me about your final test she was having you do last time she was here... she also the ingredients would be a little strange, but if everything she said about you is true, I'm sure it's delicious..."

>A. Of course it is, I learned from the best!

I didn't think the ingredients were that strange. Even the dried shroom doesn't seem that strange.

>>895166
They weren't, that's just Tayce T. trying to make your test harder

>>895135
>C. Well, I hope you enjoy it anyway

She gently opens all the containers, eyeing the pasta and bread excitedly. "Oooh, it looks good..."

"Of course it is, I learned from the best!"

The Princess giggles sweetly at your praise of your master. "Okay, I believe you... now let's see..."

She gently opens all the containers, eyeing the pasta and bread excitedly. "Oooh, it looks good..."

Her eyes go over to the pie, and they widen in wonder. "Dessert, too? Wow... it looks great!"

"Thanks, I hope you like it." Not wanting to lose your head in front of the Princess, you play it cool, despite your fuzzy vision and irregular breathing.

Without skipping a beat, the Princess picks up her fork, digging into the spaghetti. Her eyes light up at the taste, and she lets out a satisfied breath after finishing a few bites. "It's delicious!"

She then picks up the mushroom-cheese bread, taking a small bite of it, and reacting no less pleased. "Amazing!"

Quickly finishing the bread, she takes a few more bites of the pasta before turning to you, smiling wider than when you first started talking to her. "This is excellent! If you didn't tell me this was yours, I would have assumed Tayce T. made this herself!"

It's not like a Boo to be on the forefront of such praise. Therefore, you do as your instincts tell you when faced with such situations: you bury yourself under your stumpy hands, your face turning red as an apple.

The Princess just giggles innocently. "Gosh, I know Boos were shy, but you should be proud! I don't know anyone besides her that can cook this well. Not even my chefs here..."

As you stay flustered in your hands, she finishes off the pasta and starts digging into the pie. Even though you can't see her, you can hear her satisfaction with that as well.

"Mmm... I'm so used to strawberry flavored desserts, I forgot what other fruits tasted like... this is delectable!"

You lift your eyes from your hands, just in time to catch a glimpse of the Princess smiling as she eats the last bit of her slice of pie, smiling as she finishes it.

A satisfying warmth rushes over you. This is the reason why you left the mansion in the first place, but you never thought you would be serving your own food to the Princess so soon. Maybe you do have some talent for this.

The Princess dots her mouth with a napkin, and lets out a satisfied sigh. "That was excellent, I think I'll save the rest for later." She puts the cover back on the rest of the pie, and turns to you. "Thanks for this meal, it really helped perk me up today."

To be fair, Peach is one of the most powerful political figures in the world and a font of unending charisma and grace, and she just casually called your food as good as the capital's ace chef. I'm sure we're obligated to spill at least a little spaghetti.

>>899131
>>899136
>>899203

"Y-you too!" You retort nervously.

Oh no. Now she has two helpings of your spaghetti.

She looks at you for a second, but then laughs with her hand at her face. "You're so funny!"

As you count your lucky stars she didn't think that was weird, the Princess scoots her chair back and gets up from the table.

"Really though, thank you for that delicious meal. It will make the rest of my day a lot more bearable. If you'll excuse me, Mr. Boobert..." She gives you a polite bow, and turns for the door at the back of this floor under the stairs, carrying the pie with her.

Staying on your best behavior, you bow back and wave the Princess goodbye as she retires to wherever she's going. You turn for the stairs and leave shortly after, keeping your mischievous instincts contained.

Exiting the castle, you can hardly contain your excitement. That final test was definitely a surprise, but you think you aced it. Now you can call yourself a real chef, soon as you get back to that kitchen!
