Hey, that gem that Kisno has in his gloves? Is that how he does magic and stuff, and is anyone free to use that magic bracelet or ring idea to use their magic instead of an actual wand? Was just curious, and wanted to know.

Hey there! Thanks for your question. :)

Yeah, for Kisno, his gloves behave like a magic wand, where he summons magic using hand gestures when he wears them. I have, at one point, had someone else wear his gloves, and it granted them magic powers; albeit humorously, as they were unable to control it, ahah!

What is your most favorite thing to do when your bored. -Suzi

Nerdling: Whenever boredom hits me, either I go to the desk and draw something.. or I can be on the game console and play for a while. But then again, I would just end up napping... Sleep is always nice!

There is one thing that’s caught my attention during times of boredom... Let’s just say, I went from playing online with the console, to playing online on the PC, and it’s a totally different environment...

Any reason why Kisno is vegetarian?

Kisno: So now you’re asking about my diet? Fair enough. When I was, yea-big, there wasn’t much thought to eating meat, it’s something I’d eat without question. Wasn’t till we took a trip to Moo Moo Meadows and ran around with the cattle there, and any piggies lying about. Then the farmhands told us a couple were rescued from those places where... they put ‘em on the barbie, if you know what I mean...

After all that, learning more and more, and befriending one of those little piglets, came the eventual loss of taste for eating them. It wasn’t easy switching over to a diet that has to be all fresh and organic. Fighting those crazy cravings for saveloy sucked!

But hey, lookit what we have here, fresh green salad, steamed artichoke and veggie tart, all beautiful. I’m happy with the decision that was made, and I still respect folk who eat meat for their main course.

I find the small Koopaling tasty, but the tall one doesn't look as appetizing.

Nerdling: ….I, don’t know how to answer this…? Uh, don’t eat me! >:( I prefer to live and not be steamed. And this isn’t the blog for that.

Kisno: Whaddya mean I’m “not as appetizing”..?

Nerdling: I won’t judge if that’s something you like, I just- don’t really like thinking about it!

Kisno: You don’t think shady anons would eat me..?

Nerdling: Maybe it’s the fact that you’ll never be seen again, I mean, how else can you survive that??

……

Kisno: I mean…. Yeah, what Nerd said. Not the blog for that.

Do you still hang out with Roy Koopa Nerdling?

Nerdling: I don’t think I’ve hung out with him yet.. we did have a few interactions but they were pretty brief. As much as I would love to do more chit-chat with him, he is a busy Koop. Unlike Iggy, though, I’ll be a bit more content when hanging out with him…

…The last thing I want is to bug him so much that he won’t want to speak with me anymore.

"Oh no! You're cute!"

Nerdling: O-oh no! I’m cute?! A--aah, thanks so much for that! Heh, I get that a lot, I wonder if it has to do with my cheeks or my freckles.. I tried to look more intimidating in my early days of the Koopa Troop, but I’ll settle for being cute. Who are you, may I ask?

Mark ever thought about looking like Kisno like wearing what he wears including changing you're hairstyles like his?

Nerdling: At first, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to do this... from what I’ve heard and seen, it takes Kisno forever to go from bed-head, to the way he has his hair, and the pain he told me, wasn’t that pleasant...Buuuut, I gave it a try! He was very gentle with the comb the whole time and it ended up looking pretty neat! Never thought it would work for me!

Kisno: And about them glasses he’s wearing, well, they’re modeled after my own, of course. But I mean, it ain’t no prop, it’s constructed all the way through with all the fancy gadgets built-in. The technology ain’t hard to replicate for me; Nerdy wanted it blue like that little scarf he always wears. You asked to have him wearing my wardrobe, this is the final result, gloves and all!

Hey, how'd ya get that paintbrush? Did you have Jr. help ya or...?

“Oooh, you’re talking about this, huh? This brush has a whole story of it’s own. I’m still shocked at how I managed to get away with it, it’s one of the most powerful weapons ever, and I have one!... Well, not exactly bestowed upon me..

I obtained it on the last night I was a trainee with the Koopa Troop. During the break hour in the early afternoon, I noticed the royal guards have suddenly begun to carry these neat paint brushes! It was the first time I’ve ever seen such a weapon, of course at the time, I didn’t know it was really a weapon. I just thought these royal guards did painting in their spare time. That was until I saw the true extent of it’s magic, during a drill that afternoon.

I was really dumbfounded! These brushes were unlike anything I’ve ever seen! It can create portals, immobilize enemies by sinking them in a pool of goop, harness massive amounts of energy, and the paint never runs out! Although that last part I found out on my own- the rest, I don’t really know how to do... Now how did I end up with one of these?

Well.. funny- I, uh- right before we all had to turn in for bed, I snuck out of the room and followed the royal guards to an ominous room, which was chockful of gear and goodies! My attention was only focused on the brushes. Kinda looks like they were freshly created. The stands they rested on looked brand new compared everything else in there.

I couldn’t help myself! I took one of these off the racks and began to play around with it. They were a bit heavy but had great mobility once you got the hang of it! I drew funny little shapes and symbols, I even scribbled up Iggy’s name so I can ‘summon’ him... I really wanted to meet him! But all I could muster up were an abundance of freshly grown pineapples...

...And then, I got caught. Turns out someone who was in the same squad as I was, followed me and then told on me. To whoever was that, thanks a lot, lieutenant tattle-tale! Needless to say.. Jr. was enraged at me! I knew I was fired, literally. He engulfed the room with flames from his fire breath, trying to chase after me! I ran for my life, unaware I still had the brush in my hands.

Then he deployed the entire Troop after me, by this point, I was making my way out of the castle through the entrance.. and a group was already waiting for me, so I turned around. I was running around in circles, trying to escape everyone Jr. had sent after me. What I didn’t realize was I was holding the brush, bristle side-down so I created a mess of paint on the floor. What happened next, was total luck for me! The entire circular field of paint I created, turned into a ginormous portal and sucked the entire Troop right in! Jr. watched in horror and then tried to go after me himself. I was hoping it was one of those moments where I can conveniently make a great escape! I painted a random hole on the ground, it turned into a portal and I jumped in.

It wasn’t that simple though. I re-emerged 10 feet away, behind Jr. But he didn’t notice.. so I kinda nonchalantly tip-toed out of there, into the castle and through the backdoor. And that’s how it all happened.”

“... Although, there’s one thing I haven’t gotten to. This brush had the insignia of somebody on it. I didn’t recognize who it was or why it was there. Owning the brush for a little while, fiddling around with it, trying to figure out how the other powers work, I really was paying little mind to that insignia the whole time I owned it.

That was until one day, when I was trying this thing out for the hundredth time, I suddenly started turning blue- it was so odd, I saw my legs glow a semi-transparent, bluish color and it was slowly rising up on me. I honestly thought I was erasing myself! I freaked out so bad and I was banging that brush around to make it stop! When I flinged that brush against a tree, it smacked me against my face. That blue magic finally stopped encasing me and the insignia on the brush was suddenly gone.

Over the next few days, a shape started to form on the circle. It started out as an outline, then solid color and I saw my features came up. It was so weird! Almost like this brush had officially taken me as it’s permanent owner? I don’t know if it had something to do with that special power I did- even though I had no idea what it was supposed to do, either! But it’s pretty neat to have a magic paintbrush with my face on it! It’s pretty neat! ...I would return this to Bowser Jr, to be honest, but I’m just so terrified of him! I never meant to steal it but now I’m stuck with it, so I might as well use it somehow.

Oh- as for the Koopa Troop, whom I've made disappear, they’re okay, I think. I dug through some recycling scraps and found out on a newspaper that they made their way to some place called ‘Shiver Mountain’. Ouch...”
