Random little oc talk :3

Alright, I need motivation for my beloved oc's. I mentioned Mischief once when the ship name of John and Santino was created (MarkerMischief). So I'll explain him and his lover a little :3

╔═══.·:·.✧✦✧.·:·.═══╗

In short, Mischief is my cat oc (anthropomorphic), who is one of the Overlords. He has a white fur and green eyes, can be flirty, gives good advices (romantic ones especially), he is really fun actually being one of the youngest Overlords there, and he really cares for those he loves. Horatio is one of his like, let's say, servants, someone who works for him. He is a brown wolf (hmm, maybe like a mix of red wolf and tundra wolf). He calls him "Master" at first, is really loyal and cares for everyone, wants to protect him, and has had a crush on Mischief ever since he got first introduced to him.

All my oc's are WIP even after so long... I created this series and these oc's back in 2019 and over the years more and more oc's just kinda popped in my mind. Plot? Umm... haha... WIP! But it has Overlords, demons, present time, past time, some mythological creatures that aren't anthro (like griffins and some of my own original creatures who also have mortal forms) and a lot more.

Okay enough of my yapping, I wanna share this ONE little part of my own lil fic that I wrote, two years ago (apologies if some stuff are a bit cringe/have grammar mistakes, it's been a while lmaoo). I think this part is silly :3

╚═══.·:·.✧✦✧.·:·.═══╝

Those types of dreams

Mischief still wasn't convinced that Horatio was fine. "Horatio. C'mon tell me, something is bothering you." Mischief said, tugging on Horatio's arm. "No, I'm fine. Seriously you don't have to worry." Horatio said. Mischief sighed, crossing his arms. "You can be really stubborn when you want to. But I like that about you." Mischief said.

"Now..." Mischief started, holding Horatio's both hands in front of him. "Tell me." He smiled. Horatio groaned softly, feeling even more embarrassed but he knew Mischief wouldn't give up.

"Alright." He sighed. "But...I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." He said. "You won't. Go on." Mischief said, still having that adorable smile. "Okay.." Horatio said, mentally preparing himself.

"I...had a dream about you...us actually," Horatio began, "A-and...we uh, had..." he paused, "Sex?" Mischief asked, finishing Horatio's sentence for him. "Ah! Um y-yes...well- not exactly, it didn't happen immediately we were just um, teasing each other, I guess." Horatio finally said it.

Mischief chuckled softly, then turned into a small laugh. Horatio was looking at him, kinda confused. "Oh Horatio...and you were embarrassed to tell me this?" Mischief asked, wiping off a tear in his eye from laughing. "Yes..." Horatio said, lowering his look to the ground.

But he felt Mischief's hands on his cheeks which made him look up at Mischief. "Hey, don't be sad. I'm sorry I laughed, I didn't mean to offend you." Mischief said softly. "No, no you didn't offend me. I'm just...embarrassed." Horatio said, blushing a little.

"Don't be. Dreams happen, maybe it meant something." Mischief said, patting Horatio's shoulder. Meaning something? Yes, that Horatio loves him. "Yes...it meant something." Horatio agreed.

Mischief hummed softly and leaned to kiss Horatio's cheek. Horatio was left speechless. "I like your dream. I hope I was doing good to you." He said, his voice quiet but soft. "M-master.." Horatio said, not sure what to do, he just wanted to kiss him right now.

#oc's #Mischief and Horatio :3 #when you have a sexy dream with your boss HEHEUE #shy Horatio and Mischief thinks it's so cute #i dont really like the way i used the same words and just my writing style back then but yeah it's not that bad #also im not a furry i just find anthro animals so interesting and I love their designs #there's so many possibilities with them and their body language!

hiiiii, if it's not too much of a bother, can u do rockley rochester headcanonsss? have a great dayy🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️

Of course! Thank you for asking! I love talking about the Rochesters!

Larry has broken into his factory so many times to interrupt tours, work, and cause general mischief out of boredom that Rockley has guards positioned all throughout his factory for the sole purpose of locating Larry and kicking him out should he trespass, as he has been banned from the premises.

After he was rescued from the communal dungeon in Best Laid Plans, he was so grateful to the player character, Dick, Charlie, and Isaac for saving his life, he hugged all four of them-including Dick and Charlie, who he’d never met in person before--out of overwhelming gratitude

Although he’d never met Dick and Charlie before, he certainly knew of them, considering Rockley always kept up with the events of the World Exhibition every year, fascinated by the inventions and intellect presented annually by inventors and engineers.

Before he retired, he selected a very promising employee from his factory and made them the new owner of his chocolate factory, instructing them to do the same when they retired. Rochester Chocolates canonically exists in the modern day games, although the current owner has no blood relation to Rockley/the Rochesters.

I low-key ship Rockley and Isaac due to Isaac’s adorable reaction to Rockley gifting him a chocolate chess set in Sweet Revenge lol (I have all sorts of crack ships with the Rochesters lmao)

Never really cared about speculating about Mr. Alastor’s identity, even though his chocolate factory was used as a venue a few times throughout the years.

His hair color is naturally brown, but he dyes it black, and has been doing so for at least fifteen years.

He doesn’t like children, but he once had to babysit Archie as a child. Archie nearly died several times thanks to the lack of guardrails on high walkways, pots of boiling liquids, chocolate rivers (I headcanon Archie can’t swim), and the like.

He and his employees have definitely almost died several times due to experimenting with and trying to fix various machines and the like in their factory. OSHA would have a few things to say to him, even if his factory is pretty well-maintained and clean for late Victorian era standards.

Horatio has bothered and harassed him several times, trying to get him to abandon his “useless” factory and do something to help the family politically. This causes tons of arguments where Leopold is caught in the middle, as Leopold wants his son to be happy, but also thinks he should be more responsible.

Strongly dislikes Horatio, has a poor relationship with Larry and Malcolm, has a bit of a complicated relationship with his father, respects Veronica as a fellow ambitious business owner but the two of them don’t spend much time together or talk, barely knows anything about Patricia, gets along well with Bernadine even if he rarely leaves his chocolate factory, and didn’t interact a ton with Archie outside of formal/official family occasions/meetings (even though Archie has a sweet tooth and loves Rockley’s factory’s sweets). Despite all of that, however, he usually gives discounts/occasional free products to (most) of his family members.

Despite his relationship with his father not always being the best, the two of them love to talk and gush about the inventions and the like presented at the World Exhibition.

We've got headcanons for 3 of the 10 Rochesters 👀

FARTHORPE

Known as the gateway to the true north, Farthorpe is a small town which lies along the high road just before the landscape turns into the tundra that covers the north of Haelion. The town itself is generally considered unremarkable as anything but a stop along the road for supplies -- except for during the three days around the Winter Solstice, when their religious practice inspires a remarkable and renowned festival that attracts travelers from all over the continent year after year.

THE FESTIVAL OF THE LONG NIGHTS

The people of Farthorpe worship Einaies and Einias, twin gods of change and cycles. The solstices, thus, are the holiest days of the year for them, and for hundreds of years they have been throwing the grand Festival of the Long Nights every winter solstice. Beginning at sundown on the day before the solstice, continuing through the solstice itself, and ending at the sunrise following the night after the solstice, the festival is held only when the sun has dropped below the horizon during those three days, with time for rest and reflection during the day.

During the festival, large white tents are set up in a field just outside of town where local artisans and traders from nearby towns can set up stalls with goods, art, and rich, warm traditional foods like fried dough and mulled wine.

Games and activities at the Festival include:

HIDDEN MASKS - Einaies, goddess of change, is oft represented by elaborately carved masks, many of which are sold by local artisans at the festival. The children of the town conduct elaborate hide-and-seek games while wearing these masks, and can often be found anywhere within the town or in the surrounding areas hiding from their playmates. Occasionally, by the second day, when enough mulled wine has gone around, some of the town’s adults will start their own game, with a pool of tal as a reward to whoever is found last.

THE FLOATING DANCERS - Einias, god of cycles, is frequently worshipped in the form of a cyclical dance; during the festival, several of Einias’ clerics participate in a three-day-long "floating dance,” suspending themselves in the air on long white silk scarves.

FEATS OF STRENGTH - arm wrestling competitions and other similar strength contests are popular at the festival, with spectators placing bets on competitors, are a good way to win a few tal, and as long as no one notices, gamblers and competitors using magic to influence the outcome of the contest isn’t strictly forbidden.

GAMES OF LUCK - gambling of other sorts is popular, too, in the festival, with the people of Farthorpe believing that Einaies and Einias manifest their blessings on devoted followers by bestowing good luck. Games such as roulette and luck-based card games are popular throughout the festival, with a number of stalls set up for betting games like thimblerig or three-card-monte.

SEARCH FOR THE SILVER MOON - akin to a real-world Easter Egg Hunt, the third night of the festival is known for the Search for the Silver Moon -- small white orbs filled with prizes such as sweets, small trinkets, and occasionally a few tal are hidden in obscure or hard-to-reach places throughout the town for people to find, while one single orb of bright silver is also hidden. Though nothing is contained within the silver orb, the one who finds it is ceremoniously crowned King, Queen, or Regent of the Solstice, and given an ornate silver crown to wear for the remainder of the festival and good luck for the remainder of the year.

THE TENT OF FORTUNE - a traveling mage by the name of Horatio Rime makes his way to the Festival every year and sets up a tent in which, for 2 tal, he will tell the fortune of anyone in town, with an accurate if vague prediction of what they will face in the year to come. There is often a long line in front of his tent, as everyone in town wants to hear what he has to say.

OUT OF CHARACTER

About a week north along the high road from Balgud, on the way towards Lodorwind, the King’s Gambit is making a rest stop to gather supplies in the small town of Farthorpe, their visit coinciding with the three-day Festival of the Long Nights. They will arrive the day before the festival and stay in town for the duration, leaving the morning after the final night. A shop inventory of items available for purchase in the town or at the festival can be found below the cut -- please message the main if you would like to purchase anything while in town.

Two new characters will be joining the party while the Gambit is stopped in Farthorpe -- the Druid, Juniper Farheart (played by Wren) and the Spy, Nightjar (played by Roman). Please welcome these new characters, create bonds with them, and have your characters meet them anywhere in or around the festival.

Missions in and around Farthorpe can also be found below the cut. To claim a mission, please message the main and include the name of the character with whom you’ll be taking the mission. Farthorpe missions should, to the best of your ability, wrap up around the 8th of March.

MISSIONS

1. AN EASY COIN. With gambling such a large part of the Festival’s entertainments, it would be easy to make some quick tal with a smart bet, a strong arm, or a sneaky trick. Whether its in the arm-wrestling contest, the hide-and-seek game, or through some other method, people are loose with their money and looser with their mulled wine, so if you keep alert you’ll find any number of opportunities. ( REWARD: up to 100 tal ) OPEN TO MULTIPLE PAIRS

2. RISKY BUSINESS. Local artisan and mask-seller Lark Lysander is furious that her out-of-town business rival has set up a stand just three stalls down from the shop she sets up every year at the Festival. She’s offering some cash or one of her rare enchanted masks to anyone willing to intimidate him into closing up shop early. ( REWARD: 50 tal or an enchanted mask of roughly equivalent value ) OPEN

3. THE OUTSKIRTS. Late into the first day of the Festival, a few travelers reported that a pack of violent owlbears had been spotted just beyond the field where the Festival is taking place. The town guard is offering a reward to whatever adventurers will drive them off or get rid of them while the rest of the town is asleep for the day. ( REWARD: 50 tal ) LLYR & KHOVAKRI

4. THE GRINCH WHO STOLE SOLSTICE. Several merchants at the festival have reported wares and tal going missing while their back was turned, and they believe the same person to be behind each of the many thefts. They have come together to offer a reward for whoever can catch the thief and return their stolen merchandise to them. ( REWARD: 40 tal ) OPEN

5. A TEST OF ILLUSIONS. Though magic is not as rare here as it was in Balgud, the arcane arts are still impressive to a town so far from the university at Lodorwind. Several local children have been telling rumors of a great wizard or sorcerer come to the festival and, pockets loose with their saved allowances, they might be willing to throw a few tal each to a particularly impressive mage willing to put on a little show for them. ( REWARD: 45 tal ) OPHELIA & SYLVAR

6. A RARE COMMODITY. Legend has it that the first snowfall of the year in the region around Farthorpe causes the blossoming of sale’tomah, a rare and mystical herb with powerful arcane healing properties, known as the only cure for several curse-related diseases. When the snow begins to fall for the first time just past midnight on the second day of the festival, it only makes sense to leave town and scour the surrounding areas for any sign of the flower, which fetches a high price in places like nearby Lodorwind -- if you can pick it before someone else gets to it. ( REWARD: 70 tal ) NIGHTJAR & LLYR

7. AN ABOMINABLE PROBLEM. On the way into town, the Gambit splits up for a while, and someone hears a cry for help -- an elf just a little ways off the high road has stumbled into a Yeti’s den, drawn the Yeti out of its hibernation, and found herself outmatched. Not only is it a good deed to help a fellow traveller in need, but any bodies in the Yeti’s den might have treasure on them if you can get to them. ( REWARD: 70 tal ) JUNIPER & PHOENIX

8. BODY GUARDS. Local mischief-making children grown bored with their elaborate game of hide and seek have taken it upon themselves to try to interfere with the Floating Dancers, daring each other to see who can get one of them to come down first. The head priest at the temple, a human woman named Olivia Rosen, is seeking two bodyguards to keep watch over the dancers as the festival comes to a close to prevent the children from interfering any further. ( REWARD: 40 tal ) PHOENIX & KHOVAKRI

9. A LEGENDARY PREY. Fortune-teller Horatio Rime predicts that you will be the one to finally track and corner the legendary Great Bear, a giant creature said to roam the southern parts of the Haelion tundra; according to legend, the Bear will grant one wish to anyone worthy enough to defeat him in honest and fair combat. ( REWARD: one wish spell ) SYLVAR & BREN

10. ROGUE KALASHTAR. Farthorpe is a good place to hear rumors of strange travelers passing through on their way north, and one particular rumor seems to have taken the town’s attention captive lately: that of a man who could speak telepathically, though the memories of those he encountered along his way seem to be unclear... ( REWARD: information ) KHOVAKRI & OPHELIA

11. SEARCH FOR THE SILVER MOON - though not a traditional mission, everyone who chooses to participate in the orb-hunt will be put into a pool and names will be drawn to retrieve various rewards, including up to 80 tal, a magical trinket or two, and the silver orb crowning them the King, Queen, or Regent of the Solstice. ( REWARD: varies by lot ) OPEN TO ALL WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE - SYLVAR, BREN, LLYR, NIGHTJAR, KHOVAKRI

SHOP INVENTORY

if you would like to purchase any gear or supplies from the shops of festival stalls in Farthorpe message the main. Farthorpe and its festival are known for their connection to divination, as well as for sturdy cold-weather gear, being on the natural waypoint before the tundra at the north of the continent begins. the following items are available (estimated prices listed):

a night’s worth of food and mulled wine ( 2 tal )

a fortune, told by Horatio Rime ( 2 tal )

a blessing from the priests of Einaies or Einias ( 3 tal )

a regular, well-carved mask ( 5 tal )

an enchanted mask ( 10 to 80 tal, depending on the enchantment )

a set of sturdy winter traveling clothes ( 7 tal )

a lucky talisman ( 10 tal )

a potion of healing ( 50 tal )

a vial of fine perfume ( 5 tal )

a fine ring, necklace, or other ornate souvenir ( 30 tal )

one vial of goldenroot, a potion used to charm your enemies ( 40 tal )

Waluigi = Guildenstern

Luigi = Horatio

Bowser = Claudius

Peach = Gertrude

Wendy = Ophelia

Act III, Scene 2

Elsinore. Hall in the Castle.

Enter Mario and three of the Players [Birdo, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong]. Tune to Overworld Theme from Super Mario Bros 2

Mario. Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounc'd it to you,

trippingly on the tongue. But if you mouth it, as many of our

players do, I had as live the town crier spoke my lines. Nor do

not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all

gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may say)

whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a

temperance that may give it smoothness. O, it offends me to the

soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to

tatters, to very rags, to split the cars of the groundlings, who

(for the most part) are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb

shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipp'd for o'erdoing

Termagant. It out-herods Herod. Pray you avoid it.

Birdo. I warrant your honour.

Mario. Be not too tame neither; but let your own discretion be your

tutor. Suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with

this special observance, that you o'erstep not the modesty of

nature: for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing,

whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as

'twere, the mirror up to nature; to show Virtue her own feature,

scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his

form and pressure. Now this overdone, or come tardy off, though

it make the unskilful laugh, cannot but make the judicious

grieve; the censure of the which one must in your allowance

o'erweigh a whole theatre of others. O, there be players that I

have seen play, and heard others praise, and that highly (not to

speak it profanely), that, neither having the accent of

Christians, nor the gait of Christian, pagan, nor man, have so

strutted and bellowed that I have thought some of Nature's

journeymen had made men, and not made them well, they imitated

humanity so abominably.

Birdo. I hope we have reform'd that indifferently with us, sir.

Mario. O, reform it altogether! And let those that play your clowns

speak no more than is set down for them. For there be of them

that will themselves laugh, to set on some quantity of barren

spectators to laugh too, though in the mean time some necessary

question of the play be then to be considered. That's villanous

and shows a most pitiful ambition in the fool that uses it. Go

make you ready.

[Exeunt Players.]

Enter Kamek, Wario, and Waluigi. Music of Muda Kingdom from Super Mario Land.

How now, my lord? Will the King hear this piece of work?

Kamek. And the Queen too, and that presently.

Mario. Bid the players make haste, [Exit Kamek.] Will you two

help to hasten them?

Wario. [with Waluigi] We will, my lord.

Exeunt they two.

Mario. What, ho, Horatio!

Enter Luigi.

Luigi. Here, sweet lord, at your service.

Mario. Horatio, thou art e'en as just a man

As e'er my conversation cop'd withal.

Luigi. O, my dear lord!

Mario. Nay, do not think I flatter;

For what advancement may I hope from thee,

That no revenue hast but thy good spirits

To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flatter'd?

No, let the candied tongue lick absurd pomp,

And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee

Where thrift may follow fawning. Dost thou hear?

Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice

And could of men distinguish, her election

Hath seal'd thee for herself. For thou hast been

As one, in suff'ring all, that suffers nothing;

A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards

Hast ta'en with equal thanks; and blest are those

Whose blood and judgment are so well commingled

That they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger

To sound what stop she please. Give me that man

That is not passion's slave, and I will wear him

In my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart,

As I do thee. Something too much of this I

There is a play to-night before the King.

One scene of it comes near the circumstance,

Which I have told thee, of my father's death.

I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot,

Even with the very comment of thy soul

Observe my uncle. If his occulted guilt

Do not itself unkennel in one speech,

It is a damned ghost that we have seen,

And my imaginations are as foul

As Vulcan's stithy. Give him heedful note;

For I mine eyes will rivet to his face,

And after we will both our judgments join

In censure of his seeming.

Luigi. Well, my lord.

If he steal aught the whilst this play is playing,

And scape detecting, I will pay the theft.

Sound a flourish. Enter Trumpets and Kettledrums. Danish

march. [nter Bowser, Peach, Wendy, Wario, Waluigi,

and other Lords attendant, with the Guard carrying torches. Commence character select screen from Super Mario Bros 2

Mario. They are coming to the play. I must be idle.

Get you a place.

Bowser. How fares our cousin Hamlet?

Mario. Excellent, i' faith; of the chameleon's dish. I eat the air,

promise-cramm'd. You cannot feed capons so.

Bowser. I have nothing with this answer, Hamlet. These words are not

mine.

Mario. No, nor mine now. [To Kamek] My lord, you play'd once

i' th' university, you say?

Kamek. That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor.

Mario. What did you enact?

Kamek. I did enact Julius Caesar; I was kill'd i' th' Capitol; Brutus

kill'd me.

Mario. It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there. Be

the players ready.

Wario. Ay, my lord. They stay upon your patience.

Peach. Come hither, my dear Hamlet, sit by me.

Mario. No, good mother. Here's metal more attractive.

Kamek. [to the King] O, ho! do you mark that?

Mario. Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

[Sits down at Wendy’s feet.]

Wendy. No, my lord.

Mario. I mean, my head upon your lap?

Wendy. Ay, my lord.

Mario. Do you think I meant country matters?

Wendy. I think nothing, my lord.

Mario. That's a fair thought to lie between maids' legs.

Wendy. What is, my lord?

Mario. Nothing.

Wendy. You are merry, my lord.

Mario. Who, I?

Wendy. Ay, my lord.

Mario. O God, your only jig-maker! What should a man do but be merry?

For look you how cheerfully my mother looks, and my father died

within 's two hours.

Wendy. Nay 'tis twice two months, my lord.

Mario. So long? Nay then, let the devil wear black, for I'll have a

suit of sables. O heavens! die two months ago, and not forgotten

yet? Then there's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life

half a year. But, by'r Lady, he must build churches then; or else

shall he suffer not thinking on, with the hobby-horse, whose

epitaph is 'For O, for O, the hobby-horse is forgot!'

[Hautboys play. The dumb show enters.]

Enter Wart and Rosalina very lovingly; Rosalina embracing

him and he her. She kneels, and makes show of protestation

unto him. He takes her up, and declines his head upon her

neck. He lays him down upon a bank of flowers. She, seeing

him asleep, leaves him. Anon comes in a fellow, takes off his

crown, kisses it, pours poison in the sleeper's ears, and

leaves him. Rosalina returns, finds Wart dead, and makes

passionate action. Mallow with some three or four Mutes,

comes in again, seem to condole with her. The dead body is

carried away. Mallow wooes the Queen with gifts; she

seems harsh and unwilling awhile, but in the end accepts

his love.

Exeunt.

Wendy. What means this, my lord?

Mario. Marry, this is miching malhecho; it means mischief.

Wendy. Belike this show imports the argument of the play.

Enter Prologue. Cue Delfino Airstrip.

Mario. We shall know by this fellow. The players cannot keep counsel;

they'll tell all.

Wendy. Will he tell us what this show meant?

Mario. Ay, or any show that you'll show him. Be not you asham'd to

show, he'll not shame to tell you what it means.

Wendy. You are naught, you are naught! I'll mark the play.

Pro. For us, and for our tragedy,

Here stooping to your clemency,

We beg your hearing patiently. [Exit.]

Mario. Is this a prologue, or the posy of a ring?

Wendy. 'Tis brief, my lord.

Mario. As woman's love.

Enter Wart and Rosalina

Wart. Full thirty times hath Phoebus' cart gone round

Neptune's salt wash and Tellus' orbed ground,

And thirty dozen moons with borrowed sheen

About the world have times twelve thirties been,

Since love our hearts, and Hymen did our hands,

Unite comutual in most sacred bands.

Rosalina. So many journeys may the sun and moon

Make us again count o'er ere love be done!

But woe is me! you are so sick of late,

So far from cheer and from your former state.

That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust,

Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must;

For women's fear and love holds quantity,

In neither aught, or in extremity.

Now what my love is, proof hath made you know;

And as my love is siz'd, my fear is so.

Where love is great, the littlest doubts are fear;

Where little fears grow great, great love grows there.

Wart. Faith, I must leave thee, love, and shortly too;

My operant powers their functions leave to do.

And thou shalt live in this fair world behind,

Honour'd, belov'd, and haply one as kind

For husband shalt thou-

Rosalina. O, confound the rest!

Such love must needs be treason in my breast.

When second husband let me be accurst!

None wed the second but who killed the first.

Mario. [aside] Wormwood, wormwood!

Peach. The instances that second marriage move

Are base respects of thrift, but none of love.

A second time I kill my husband dead

When second husband kisses me in bed.

Wart. I do believe you think what now you speak;

But what we do determine oft we break.

Purpose is but the slave to memory,

Of violent birth, but poor validity;

Which now, like fruit unripe, sticks on the tree,

But fall unshaken when they mellow be.

Most necessary 'tis that we forget

To pay ourselves what to ourselves is debt.

What to ourselves in passion we propose,

The passion ending, doth the purpose lose.

The violence of either grief or joy

Their own enactures with themselves destroy.

Where joy most revels, grief doth most lament;

Grief joys, joy grieves, on slender accident.

This world is not for aye, nor 'tis not strange

That even our loves should with our fortunes change;

For 'tis a question left us yet to prove,

Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.

The great man down, you mark his favourite flies,

The poor advanc'd makes friends of enemies;

And hitherto doth love on fortune tend,

For who not needs shall never lack a friend,

And who in want a hollow friend doth try,

Directly seasons him his enemy.

But, orderly to end where I begun,

Our wills and fates do so contrary run

That our devices still are overthrown;

Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.

So think thou wilt no second husband wed;

But die thy thoughts when thy first lord is dead.

Rosalina. Nor earth to me give food, nor heaven light,

Sport and repose lock from me day and night,

To desperation turn my trust and hope,

An anchor's cheer in prison be my scope,

Each opposite that blanks the face of joy

Meet what I would have well, and it destroy,

Both here and hence pursue me lasting strife,

If, once a widow, ever I be wife!

Mario. If she should break it now!

Wart. 'Tis deeply sworn. Sweet, leave me here awhile.

My spirits grow dull, and fain I would beguile

The tedious day with sleep.

Rosalina. Sleep rock thy brain,

[He sleeps.]

Rosalina. And never come mischance between us twain!

Exit.

Mario. Madam, how like you this play?

Peach. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

Mario. O, but she'll keep her word.

Bowser. Have you heard the argument? Is there no offence in't?

Mario. No, no! They do but jest, poison in jest; no offence i' th'

world.

Bowser. What do you call the play?

Mario. 'The Mousetrap.' Marry, how? Tropically. This play is the

image of a murther done in Vienna. Gonzago is the duke's name;

his wife, Baptista. You shall see anon. 'Tis a knavish piece of

work; but what o' that? Your Majesty, and we that have free

souls, it touches us not. Let the gall'd jade winch; our withers

are unwrung. Enter Mallow.

This is one Lucianus, nephew to the King.

Wendy. You are as good as a chorus, my lord.

Hamlet. I could interpret between you and your love, if I could see

the puppets dallying.

Wendy. You are keen, my lord, you are keen.

Mario. It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge.

Wendy. Still better, and worse.

Mario. So you must take your husbands.- Begin, murtherer. Pox, leave

thy damnable faces, and begin! Come, the croaking raven doth

bellow for revenge.

Mallow. Thoughts black, hands apt, drugs fit, and time agreeing; Confederate season, else no creature seeing; Thou mixture rank, of midnight weeds collected, With Hecate's ban thrice blasted, thrice infected, Thy natural magic and dire property On wholesome life usurp immediately.

Pours the poison in his ears. Play The Sword Descends and The Stars Scatter from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Mario. He poisons him i' th' garden for's estate. His name's Gonzago.

The story is extant, and written in very choice Italian. You

shall see anon how the murtherer gets the love of Gonzago's wife.

Peach. The King rises.

Mario. What, frighted with false fire?

Peach. How fares my lord?

Kamek. Give o'er the play.

Bowser. Give me some light! Away!

All. Lights, lights, lights!

Exeunt all but Mario and Luigi. Cue underground music from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island.

Mario. Why, let the strucken deer go weep,

The hart ungalled play;

For some must watch, while some must sleep:

Thus runs the world away.

Would not this, sir, and a forest of feathers- if the rest of my

fortunes turn Turk with me-with two Provincial roses on my raz'd

shoes, get me a fellowship in a cry of players, sir?

Luigi. Half a share.

Mario. A whole one I!

For thou dost know, O Damon dear,

This realm dismantled was

Of Jove himself; and now reigns here

A very, very- pajock.

Luigi. You might have rhym'd.

Mario. O good Horatio, I'll take the ghost's word for a thousand

pound! Didst perceive?

Luigi. Very well, my lord.

Mario. Upon the talk of the poisoning?

Luigi. I did very well note him.

Mario. Aha! Come, some music! Come, the recorders!

For if the King like not the comedy,

Why then, belike he likes it not, perdy.

Come, some music!

Enter Wario and Waluigi.

Waluigi. Good my lord, vouchsafe me a word with you.

Mario. Sir, a whole history.

Waluigi. The King, sir-

Mario. Ay, sir, what of him?

Waluigi. Is in his retirement, marvellous distemper'd.

Mario. With drink, sir?

Waluigi. No, my lord; rather with choler.

Mario. Your wisdom should show itself more richer to signify this to

the doctor; for me to put him to his purgation would perhaps

plunge him into far more choler.

Waluigi. Good my lord, put your discourse into some frame, and start

not so wildly from my affair.

Mario. I am tame, sir; pronounce.

Waluigi. The Queen, your mother, in most great affliction of spirit

hath sent me to you.

Mario. You are welcome.

Waluigi. Nay, good my lord, this courtesy is not of the right breed.

If it shall please you to make me a wholesome answer, I will do

your mother's commandment; if not, your pardon and my return

shall be the end of my business.

Mario. Sir, I cannot.

Waluigi. What, my lord?

Mario. Make you a wholesome answer; my wit's diseas'd. But, sir, such

answer as I can make, you shall command; or rather, as you say,

my mother. Therefore no more, but to the matter! My mother, you

say-

Wario. Then thus she says: your behaviour hath struck her into

amazement and admiration.

Mario. O wonderful son, that can so stonish a mother! But is there no

sequel at the heels of this mother's admiration? Impart.

Wario. She desires to speak with you in her closet ere you go to bed.

Hamlet. We shall obey, were she ten times our mother. Have you any

further trade with us?

Wario. My lord, you once did love me.

Mario. And do still, by these pickers and stealers!

Wario. Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? You do surely

bar the door upon your own liberty, if you deny your griefs to

your friend.

Mario. Sir, I lack advancement.

Wario. How can that be, when you have the voice of the King himself

for your succession in Denmark?

Mario. Ay, sir, but 'while the grass grows'- the proverb is something

musty.

[Enter Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong with recorders. ]

O, the recorders! Let me see one. To withdraw with you- why do

you go about to recover the wind of me, as if you would drive me

into a toil?

Guildenstern. O my lord, if my duty be too bold, my love is too unmannerly.

Mario. I do not well understand that. Will you play upon this pipe?

Waluigi. My lord, I cannot.

Mario. I pray you.

Waluigi. Believe me, I cannot.

Mario. I do beseech you.

Waluigi. I know, no touch of it, my lord.

Mario. It is as easy as lying. Govern these ventages with your

fingers and thumbs, give it breath with your mouth, and it will

discourse most eloquent music. Look you, these are the stops.

Waluigi. But these cannot I command to any utt'rance of harmony. I

have not the skill.

Mario. Why, look you now, how unworthy a thing you make of me! You

would play upon me; you would seem to know my stops; you would

pluck out the heart of my mystery; you would sound me from my

lowest note to the top of my compass; and there is much music,

excellent voice, in this little organ, yet cannot you make it

speak. 'Sblood, do you think I am easier to be play'd on than a

pipe? Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me,

you cannot play upon me.

[Enter Kamek.]

God bless you, sir!

Kamek. My lord, the Queen would speak with you, and presently.

Mario. Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?

Kamek. By th' mass, and 'tis like a camel indeed.

Mario. Methinks it is like a weasel.

Kamek. It is back'd like a weasel.

Mario. Or like a whale.

Kamek. Very like a whale.

Mario. Then will I come to my mother by-and-by.- They fool me to the

top of my bent.- I will come by-and-by.

Kamek. I will say so. Exit.

Mario. 'By-and-by' is easily said.- Leave me, friends.

Exeunt all but Mario. Tune from Corona Mountain reverberates.

'Tis now the very witching time of night,

When churchyards yawn, and hell itself breathes out

Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood

And do such bitter business as the day

Would quake to look on. Soft! now to my mother!

O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever

The soul of Nero enter this firm bosom.

Let me be cruel, not unnatural;

I will speak daggers to her, but use none.

My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites-

How in my words somever she be shent,

To give them seals never, my soul, consent! Exit.
