Setting
This burg is the nearest to Harmonia. Good thing, too, since this means local hero Mario is close enough to the castle in case of an emergency. A few shops exist here, selling various unusual items that can help in self-defense. There's also a train station for transport across the Dream Valley region.

Kinoko City is a part of 
Meadowlands.
Behind Luigi is a electronic store filled with TV sets. Suddenly, images of Mad Moxxi appear on screen. The TVs show Moxxi at Cosmo Speedway. She is giving an announcement on live television.
"Hello people of Unita. I hope I didn't interrupt your little channel because I got big news to tell you. This year, I'm opening up the biggest destructive race that has ever known. I give you the Moxxxi Grand Prix. This grand prix will have five race tracks from five different planets, but each will have their own gimmicks. And let's just that they're quite hotter than you think. If you think you are confident to get behind the wheel and race for trophy and for cash prizes, then you better come over here. We are looking forward for a little death race or two... if you know how to survive that is..."
She winks in front the camera.
"So, come on down and join the race. But I won't guarentee that you will live for long."
"...A race?" Luigi thinks, then smiles, "HEY! Maybe I can be a better racer! Maybe Mario will see that I can race better. I hope he won't be too jealous after all."

"And maybe you'll see that I can race better than you!" exclaims Sockie. "Now this is just the kind of thing I was looking for!"
"Art thou actually going to enter us in a competition of speed?" Brimstone asks Sockie. "BAH! I would much rather crush mine opponents!"
"Art thou actually going to enter us in a competition of speed?" Brimstone asks Sockie. "BAH! I would much rather crush mine opponents!"
"Oh ho ho~ Getting a little competitive? Well, I'll have you know that your overconfidence will fail you." Luigi replied.
"Man, if you only worded that just a little differently, I could have done a 'faith in your friends' joke!" says Sockie, shaking his head. "Anyway... BRING IT ON!"
Luigi runs off to the Mario Bros. house and looks for his vehicle. He finds the Bolt Buggy in his garage, and starts it up. He drives out of the garage and heads into the horizon.
OOC: Oh my god it's time to bring it back...

"Sockie?" says Sockra. "Aren't you forgetting something? You don't have any sort of vehicle, and you certainly don't have the know-how to build one!"
"That's where you're wrong, Sockra!" exclaims Sockie. "I do have a vehicle, and it's one I made from my own blood, sweat, and tears! There might have been various other materials somewhere in there, too."
"Bahahahaha! Really?!" mocks Brimstone. "This I must see with mine own eyes!"
Sockie whistles, and the sound of a train horn is heard...

Soon enough, a train comes zooming into Kinoko City. What makes this different from the usual arrivals, however, is that it is not on any tracks and instead going right through the city streets. As vehicles and pedestrians quickly move out of the way, the train makes it way towards the area where Sockie, Sockra, and Brimstone are.
"COVER YOUR EYES, MY SON!" shouts a Toad to his child as he gazes upon the giant, horrifying face of Sockie that is on the front of the train. Soon enough, the train skids to a stop in front of Sockie and friends, the door on the front cart opening.
"Ladies (and demons) first!" says Sockie, stepping beside the door and bowing.
"Sockie... what is this?" asks Sockra as she steps inside. "How did it even get here?!"
"And why did thou have to put a portrait of thy stupid visage on it?!" shouts Brimstone as he also steps aboard.
"Such questions!" remarks Sockie, following behind. The inside of the front cart looks like any other, with an engine and control panel inside. "This is the Sock Train, my own personalized vehicle! I bought this baby years ago, and have cherished it ever since!"
"But where was it up until now? And how did you call it here with a whistle? And how does it just travel on the road?!" demands Sockra.
"Erm... LET'S GET TO THAT RACE!" shouts Sockie as he pulls some levers on the control panel. The train then starts up again, and speeds out of the city. (causing just as much mayhem as when it entered)

At the house of the Mario Bros, Luigi returns from his crazy adventure to his humble, quiet home. He reached his green bed and lays there and rest. Finally... Peace and quiet at last. Nothing will hurt Luigi. Nothing will disrupt him. Nothing will tell him to spring out of his bed and do something stupid.
In the streets, a little girl with a purple jaunty cap and vest (and her eyes shut) was walking along, humming a tune to herself.
Luigi woke up and stretched his arms, ready for a new day. He noticed Mario sleeping in his own bed.
"Oh! Mario came home!" Luigi wants to wake his brother Mario up, "Bro! Wake up! It's morning already."
"Oh! Mario came home!" Luigi wants to wake his brother Mario up, "Bro! Wake up! It's morning already."
"Mm...ohhh, mama-mia..." Mario leaned up from his bunk, releasing a prolonged yawn from his mouth.
"Morning, Luigi..." he said as he got ready to enter the shower. "Oh! By the way, how did the Cosmos-a Speedway go? Win any big-a names, eh?"
"Morning, Luigi..." he said as he got ready to enter the shower. "Oh! By the way, how did the Cosmos-a Speedway go? Win any big-a names, eh?"
"Ehh...." Luigi scratched the back of his head, "Let's just say that the prand prix was ruined thanks to a palooka...."
"Ohhh..." Mario responded, hopping into his shower and washing up (curtains closed, of course). "Well, at least you had-a fun, yes? I had a rather traumatizing escapade lately involving an otherworldly doppelganger."
"Yeah, of-a Sonic," Mario said, drying up in the bathroom and putting on some clean clothes. "A cuckoo-bananas doppelganger, at that..."
All dressed up, Mario met with Luigi in the kitchen. "But...it's-a been taken care of now."

"Yup~ Anyhoo..."
Mario opened the cupboard...but was shocked at what he saw.
"!!!"
Almost all the food in there was gone! All that was left were a few dried-up Mushrooms and a couple syrup jars.

"MAMA MIA!! Where's all the food?!" Luigi checks out every thing in the kitchen, "Mario, did somebody break into our house?!"
