MERLAUT APARTMENTS

Bowser stands in front of his apartment. It is the one that he did not find to be identical to the others when he'd first found it. It is the one that contained the Regain. The object that, among the fusions of places and animals, undeniably belonged to someone, that was, him. Bowser opens the door and enters the apartment.

The Koopa then walks to the desk and opens the drawer. He then removes a case from the drawer, takes a deck of cards from his shell, places the deck in the case, and puts the case back in the drawer. If he is for some reason interupted during this process, he jumps back and shouts "GAH!"

THE HEAVENLY BLANC

At some point later, Bowser travels to the Heavenly Blanc to share his discovery. Or at least, he travels to the Bar & Cafe with the Regain in hand willing to discuss it, though his actual intent is simply to get drinks there. He sets it down on the booth, a power chip case with Bowser's emblem on it.

When someone passes by, he asks, "Have you seen something lying around here that's just yours? Not weird fusions, like the buildings or animals, but something small, and definitely yours. Like this." he points at the emblem on his case.

WALL MARKET

Exploring the Wall Market with his pipe weapon, Bowser notices a silhoette in the distance. He approaches the shadow slowly, unable to clearly see. Then he shouts, "Who is that!" demandingly.

WILD CARD

Perhaps Bowser may be found exploring a location that is not in one of the prompts.

"Hmmm. Ok, underwhere and overthere's about where things stop being similar. There's an underworld, and heaven. The rest? Different," she could assess quickly enough, but she got the feeling that afterlife had a bit of a basic structure as a rule, unless things got needlessly complicated. "Kappa? Humans draw them like you, but they usually look like human girls actually. Most spirits are female and humanoid. They're all ... I guess you'd call them obsessed specialists and nerds. Always trying to do their own thing, usually all at once and making a mess of things."

So... same name, similar visual origins, but definitely not the same. "For the last thousand years and change, I've guarded one bridge and then for the last century, another. People come to me for help crossing or when they need help breaking a thing up that needs to end. Usually divorces, breakups. I guess they figured I dealt with an old cheater, so I can still help them?"

A shrug. "As for powers, I'm a spirit of envy, so controlling envy is about the size of it. I can make people insanely jealous, and I get jealous easily. Different methods, but always amounts to the same thing."

Knowing the similarities between Kappa and Koopas were only in how humans thought Kappa looked made the coincidence even stranger. Perhaps it was just that, a coincidence, but there seemed to be a lot of them.

Still, the next thing Parsee says gets Bowser attention. "Do people ever... uh, ask you for help breaking other people up?"

Not like Bowser would have a use for such an ability.

"Yuuuuup. And if I like the prayer enough, I've taken the job. I don't intervene unless there's something way too schmaltzy or loveydovey about the couple. If they're too sweet and loving, it'll make me jealous. Totally easy to justify then."

Yeah, she'd totally screw with Mario and Peach. In a heartbeat.
