Brick Path

 


You turn and go down the path of red bricks. The lighting eventually fades, making the bricks look a bit greenish. It's an eerie setting. You hear things moving about through the area, pacing back and forth, like soldiers on patrol. You catch a few quips of conversation, although you cannot make out the actual words. You come across a deep pit. You stare down into it. It seems bottomless. Suddenly a bizarre creature resembling a robed lizard wielding a wand and riding a broomstick flies out of the pit, cackling. It sees you.


"A human, eh? You won't be any use to King Bowser like that! Lemme fix you up! Kekeke!"


Before you can fully register the creature's sentence, he twirls his wand in the air and blasts a ray made up of geometric shapes at you. You try to run out of the way, but the magical blast connects and you feel an evil energy enter your body.


You fall to the cold floor and writhe in pain. Your skin peels off, your muscle dissolves, and your organs evaporate. You are left as a pile of bones in a puddle of blood and other bodily fluids.


Yet you somehow stay alive.


You bring your body to it's feet. A pair of stone boots has mysteriously appeared on your feet, which you feel are four-toed. Your legs shorted, and your rips elongate and connect to the ines on the opposite side. They turn a dull yellow, and more form down your spine. A cracked bne plate materializes on your back, creating the image of a skeletal turtle shell. Your spine lengthens some and pokes out of your shell. You find you can wiggle this growth. It is a tail. Your arms shorten and one of your fingers falls off. Gloves appear around your new hands. Your jaw snaps forward, and your eyeholes grow larger and move to the top of your head. Yellow orbs glow within them.


New memories flood your mind and push out your old ones. A few decades ago you served at one of Bowser's fortresses, and you were kicked into the lava by a certain overall-wearing plumber. Bowser was kind enough to revive you, and you have loyally followed him since.


"Dry Bones! Mario's on his way! Don't let that pasta addict get through!"


You salute Kamek and head to your post.

  It is the night before Halloween day. A few blocks from your house is an old mansion. Nobody knows who lives there, but legends have it that the once Magic Twins lived in the Mansion but abandon the place for some mysterious reasons. Your friend dared you to spend the night at this manor, a dare you were hesitant to accept, but you took this dare to avoid the title of chicken. Now it is dusk, and you are a few feet away from the front door to this mausoleum. You herd rumors that this place has a curse or curses.  It is told that if a person enters the Mansion they must find the key before the clock strikes 12. If they don't retrieve the key by that time , they'll become one with the mansion. Another rumor has it said that each of the rooms here will transform the person and send them somewhere. And the last rumor was that what ever you touch with in the mansion is what you become once you left mansion. What do you do first?: Look around the yard Go inside

Look around the yard

 You decide that maybe you can cheat your friend while still doing the dare by spending the night on the property, but not in the actual building. You walk around the house and go through a black gate. You don't notice that it locks itself once you're through. It's a nice yard, the browning leaves of autumn make it a nice sight. You almost forget this place is supposedly haunted. Three things stick out to you, a dumpster, a pond, and a neat pile of leaves. What do you choose to do next?: Investigate the dumpster Investigate the pond Act like a child and jump in the leaf pile

Go inside

 You attempt to open the door, only to discover it is far too heavy to do so. You back up, get a running start, and slam into the door with all your might and momentum! It creaks open, revealing a once-elaborate foyer. Now it's anything but fancy. The carpeting's faded and torn apart, the crystal chandelier has fallen, there's a balcony but some of it's floor is missing and one of the staircases has collapsed, all pieces of furniture are overturned and/or ripped apart, overall not a pretty sight. There are several doors, but only three are accessible to you: one leading to the basement, one that goes deeper into the ground floor, and one that leads to the second floor. Where do you go?: Basement Ground Floor Second Floor
