The last thing he remembered, Bowser had attacked Princess Peach's castle (again) in an attempt to kidnap her. But then he'd been pulled into some odd swirling anomaly, despite his best efforts to get away from it. He couldn't run fast enough. So... where was he? Luigi groaned, and pushed himself to roll over onto his back and then sit up. It looked like he was still in the castle. But... the castle wasn't. Both ends of the hallway were ruined and crumbled, made impassible. But it looked like there was a wall BEHIND those crumbled walls. And it didn't look like the rest of the castle. Slowly getting to his feet, Luigi looked around. "...Mario?" There was no way he could have been heard, not by normal hearing. Maybe... he was afraid to call out too loudly. Afraid someone -- or someTHING -- that WASN'T Mario would hear him. Or maybe... ...He was afraid of silence... Either way, it's not silence he hears. "Luigi! Are you there?!" This from his earpiece, which he realizes he's still wearing. "Ah!" Startled at first, but then intensely relieved at hearing the Italian spoken by his brother. "Mario? Where are you?" "That's a question I should be asking you!" Mario answered. "The whole wing of the castle disappeared! Where are you?!" "I, uh..." Luigi pauses, looks around. "...I don't know, actually. I'm still in the castle, but... the castle is... not there. Well, THIS part of the castle isn't. I haven't gone outside yet..."
Eventually her search leads her to one of her least favorite parts of the islands. "...wait....wait...it's Nezumi castle...but that's not all Nezumi castle... Something crushed part of it!" She frowns and shifts from one foot to the other. "I don't still don't want to go in there...maybe I can just make a door in this new place..." With that she'd swing about her staff, causing a rainbow heart spray of magical energy before a makeshift door opens on the 'front' of the newly appeared part of the castle.
In fact, when the 'door' opens, the short man's wide, startled blue eyes quickly turn to the door, and he yelps, jumping back away from the new opening. But far from running away, the man raises his fists! "O-okay, I'm-a w-warning you! Don't-a try anything funny!" Usami might also hear the screeching of another voice in his earpiece; if her hearing is particularly good, she might hear a man's voice screech from the earpiece, "Luigi, what's going on?!"
But then she introduces herself! Luigi pauses at the mention of having destroyed a castle. "Wha?" He blinks, standing properly. "Nez...umi? I've-a never heard of that kingdom. Is-a that near Sarasaland? Beyond it?" He reaches to scratch and the back of his head. Also, he jumps when Mario calls out to him over the earpiece. "Gah! Um... s'cuse-a me." He speaks into the earpiece. This time he's missing that verbal tic. "I think it's fine, Mario. I'm... somewhere else. Ask the Princess if she knows about a 'Nezumiland'. This part of the castle fell onto another castle." Pause, sigh. "Yeah, yeah... 'castle while you castle', I know. Ai yai yai..."
A moment later he looks to Usami. "Sorry," he offers. His voice is accented now. It's probably just force of habit. "But-a you see, the Professor was-a testing these." He points at his earpiece. "And of course-a Bowser had to butt in. We couldn't-a get back to the foyer in time to stop Bowser's spell. Guess he messed up. It got-a me, and this wing of-a the castle." And also! "Well. I'm-a Luigi. Sorry about-a the misunderstanding earlier." If it IS one! He's still not sure yet.
"We can a-get away from here, if you'd a-rather?" he suggests, rubbing at the back of his head. "Need to get-a my bearings anyway."
