     Mario ran his finger along the spine of the dusty old book, wiping away the accumulated dirt and dust. From the almost disheveled look of the book, it seemed to be fairly aged, like a fine wine. The strange symbols lining the spine of the book were unreadable to the plumber.

((Yes! I love discussing headcanons!))

((Larry actually admires Ludwig’s cleverness and cunning display the most. Since Larry loves to be sneaky and mischievous, he finds great benefit from being around his oldest brother. While he’s near Ludwig, Larry is able to get some tricky tips and genius notes from observing his brother and will use them himself. However, it doesn’t always work out in Larry’s favor… Larry will even copy some of the things Ludwig does just because he thinks he’ll be stronger–or smarter–or look better in front of everyone! 

OH SO YOU'RE FORTESQUE! I swear I've been trying to find out why a demoman followed me - not that I mind - and I now get why. Man, I'm slow on this kind of things.

Larry pushed his palm against a huge, round door that stood taller than him. His claws made a tapping noise as they hit the dark brown wood of the door. The wood looked old and had a gray tint to it, making it look like something out of one of those fairytales. There were scruffy, gold engravings on the immense door, and one of them displayed a large, cursive "K" in the middle of the door. Smaller writing remained below the "K" and read "Kamek's Library". It took the young Koopa a few moments to realize that the door was a “pull” door and not a “push” door. He muttered to himself, most likely cursing at the door’s existence, and grabbed the circular handle with one of his hands. He grunted and pulled with all of his might until the door finally groaned loudly as it opened just enough for Larry to slip through. As he entered the room, a swishing noise could be heard from his other clawed hand. When he had finally found a comfortable standing position in the large room, his eyes were wide in shock at how dimly lit the place was.

“How are ya supposed to read in a place like this?” Larry said to himself under his breath as he walked forward, slowly. His eyes darted all around the place and he noticed the towering shelves of books and the abundant piles of encyclopedias, dictionaries, spell books, and other mysterious literary work lying everywhere. The sound of books slamming and flipping interrupted the curious Koopa’s investigation, and he was drawn to the noise. As he got closer, he saw the Magikoopa’s back turned to him.

Is this what he does all day? Larry thought as he made a face. Jeez… Lame!

“Hey, Kamek?” Larry’s voice broke the peace of the room like glass being thrown onto the floor.
