What had started as a great party at Castle Koopa has somehow turned into a bit of a conundrum; specifically because Iggy had had the bright idea of allowing Bowser Junior to stuff him into a canon and fire him off into the distance. The loud bang of the canon still rings in his ears just as much as the wind sails through his hair; he's even still cackling his head off as he absolutely prepares to crash face first into the crowd of partying minions below.
Unfortunately, that last bit doesn't happen. He comes to and blinks, reaching up to adjust his glasses a little as he takes note of his new surroundings. For a split second, the Koopaling looks comically confused, before his face lights up with manic glee when he realizes he really isn't still in Bowser's castle.
"Wow, Lord Junior must have really shot me into the atmosphere!" he cackles madly, not at all seeming to be disturbed by this odd turn of events. Instead, he seems to welcome it with open arms. "or maybe I landed on my head and I'm in a coma. Hm, the possibilities... welp! No time like the present, eh?"
As if he owns the place, as if this is just some sort of normal, every day thing, Iggy casually begins to explore his new surroundings, humming as he runs a clawed finger across the metal side of the ship, the sound akin to nails on a chalkboard paired with the soft pitter patter of rain that seems to echo and bounce off of the walls for a few seconds before he pauses mid step, grinning like a maniac as he turns to look over his shoulder.
"I hear yoooou," he practically purrs. "come on out, then -- or are we playing a game of hide and seek? I just love games... ahahaha!"
2 - Somebody's Footsteps; day 23.
While he hasn't quite settled in, Iggy's torn between still half thinking this is some sort of weird head injury related hallucination and half accepting this as his new reality. Granted, he'd actually gone to search for his siblings just to check; but there'd been no family to be found. Even the great Lord Bowser seems to be absent.
The Koopaling isn't one for making friends, but as he explores, fascinated by the vegetation, he pauses as he hears someone blurt out 'not more of this shit'. His crazed gaze lands on the specter just as he darts off, and with nothing better to do, Iggy gives chase. Unfortunately for him, the young man disappears and Iggy finds himself staring into a vast amount of tangled weeds and fauna.
"Aw, come on, man. You can't just say something like that and then disappear!" he says with an over dramatic sigh. His attention soon focuses on the plants before him, and he reaches out to take a dried leaf between his fingers, his eyes narrowing. Given that he's usually stationed in the more dangerous jungles when Bowser decides it's time to kidnap the Princess, well. He almost feels right at home.
"...still not the same as Soda Jungle. What a drag," he says to himself, before cackling. "no matter~ This should make for some interesting research. Besides, if I stay here long enough, maybe that guy will show up again..."
