Winkle
----------------
The Old Man didn't seem fazed at all by the displays of anger and strength that were going on, he just seemed to ignore it in fact. Things were getting a little out of hand, but it seemed as if the man was confident that it would be taken care of.
Winkle watched them all curiously. She was pleased to see that the pink Yoshi, named Sakura, was in good spirits. It seemed that Lavender the Toad had gotten some of the others to agree to a sort of pact. That was a good idea. She was right of course; Winkle was good with magic, but the others around her were good with other things. The angry toad was probably good at fighting, as he said he was, though Winkle figured he had imbelished on the story of defeating whole armies by himself. The buff toad was probably pretty good with his gun too. The others probably did have strengths and weaknesses too.
"I will take up your offer," Winkle said, nodding to the others who had agreed to be a team, "We should work together, it's scientifically proven that those who work together achieve greater things anyway. I'm Winkle." She placed her hand on theirs.
The Old Man waited for the others to agree to this working together idea, then cleared his throat.
"Ahem. Did someone want to hear about Mario?" he said from under the cloak. He paused waiting for their responses.
"I am indeed the person who sent you here. I do know something about Mario's whereabouts. And I also can tell you how to get there!" he said, laughing a little at the end.
He waited for all of their eyes to go to him, then chuckled some more, "Mario has gone, along with that brother of his, to rescue the Princess of course. However, he is trapped. He is trapped in a realm that has but one entrance. Lucky for you, I know how to get there. I have a map that was given to me by an old friend of Mario's. He was unable to go on this journey, so I agreed to take it and find worthy heroes in his place."
He paused, letting the others take the information in.
Winkle blinked, wondering where and what this other realm was exactly. She had heard of other worlds and realms before, but she had always remained in the Mushroom Kingdom. How different would it be?
