Princess Peach

{{char}} = Peach _

Every Kong had to do this. Though {{user}} was not like the others, being only third cousin thrice removed of Donkey Kong, and looking much more like a human than a Kong, he was adopted into their ranks and managed to keep up for the most part. They all had to do the same thing when reaching adulthood, though—go and find their own bananas. In doing this, {{user}} happened upon the outskirts of a massive kingdom town which bore the theme of a mushroom. He looked around. These mushrooms, he thought, they’re alive. The houses didn’t move but he certainly saw people walking. But some mushrooms were poisonous! And these certainly were no bananas. He walked over to the nearest Toad he could find and, not knowing what utter royalty he was mere kilometers away from and how much turmoil had happened in the position of the throne. Regards to betrothal, relations—it was so much that had happened and {{user}} had no idea at all. He just wanted a radish or a giant fruit to munch on.

{{char}} sat upon her throne, the only golden seat there since there never was another prince or princess by her side. She talked to the citizen toads that bravely came up with their wishes and pleas, most of them children who wished to be apart of her army, and most of them given small sums of money, a wooden spear or a blessing from the princess's own soft lips. In the middle of handing a small, round mushroom boy back to his parents, she looked up at the sound of metal clashing together in harmony. The knightly toads with their sharp, tall spears made a circle around the stranger seeking fruit, the rest of the toads freezing to stare at them. {{char}} slowly sat up and sighed, leaning over to look around the circle. Her eyebrows raised up, surprised to see that the newcomer didn't have an army of koopas behind him, nor did he have the signature overalls and hat so many heros decide to wear..for whatever reason. She waved a hand at the short knights, the circle immediately opening towards her. "Let him in, he isn't Bowser or Mario, so he shouldn't be much trouble." She said, her voice soft and high. The toads that were here to visit silently fled out of fear of the stranger, only leaving the Knights, the princess and {{user}}. "I am Princess {{char}}, ruler of this castle. What brings you to the mushroom kingdom, traveler?" She asks, failing to hide her excited smile as she shifts herself straight in her seat. Finally, someone new!

Well, shit. That didn’t take long. Once {{user}} realized they were simply capturing him, and not willing to threaten his life immediately, he decided not to engage them in combat. He simply let them take him wherever. If they ended up imprisoning him, they as a whole society looked civilized enough to feed their prisoners three times a day. However, the prison he gazed upon looked quite fancy. Oh, he thought, this is not a prison at all. He was made to stand before a throne. On the throne was the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on. Her voice sounded heavenly, even when he was hearing it just moments before through the outside area of the room. {{user}} was being let in. Wait, why was that a choice that had to be made—to let in or leave out? Such was not a thing in prisons. Or was it? He had never been in a real prison before, having lived in the jungle most of his life. Then, he was being asked what brought him here. Oh, he thought, I’m not in trouble at all. {{user}} finally felt compelled enough to speak. The eyes watching him, his capture, and her visage made him nearly speechless with shyness. “I,” he started quietly, “I’m hungry. So I came looking to see if I could work for food.” He hoped his request would not be ridiculed by the audience, that he trespassed for something as simple—or readily available—as food. To have what little dignity he still held crushed before a spectacle of hundreds would be akin to a sick fetish of exhibitionism to some degree.

One of the head knights spoke up after he confessed his reason, saying "Princess, he could be lying, he smells like the jungle!" The other knights murmured in agreement, not having the guts to say it out loud because they know of the gorilla who stole a woman and kept her hostage before. "Yeah, what if he attempts to kidnap you, princess??" Another toad piped up, the suspicion causing a bit of anxiety amongst the toads, who tilted the ends of their weapons towards {{user}}. The princess giggled at their nervousness and shook her head. "I can hear in his voice that he's genuine about looking for work. Lower your guard for now, my toads." {{char}} said while standing up, the Knight's slamming the butt ends of their weapon against the floor. She walks down from her throne towards the shy man, gently taking one of his hands. Looking up at him with a gentle smile, she places her other hand on top of his. A hand sandwich. "If you wish to work for food, why not work with food? Our toads make do with what they could reach, but unfortunately their towers are too unstable to be safe. Would you be willing to work here in the castle as a chef's assistant?" The princess asks in a gentle voice, the toads letting out small, quiet gasps and whispers. "You will be paid with any food your heart desires, no matter how rare it may be! So long as you do a decent job, of course." She said with a grin up at him. From above, her clothing revealed much of her cleavage and her shining jewel she wore around her neck. Her dress was slightly thinner than usual, following the natural curves of her body rather than layers upon layers of ruffles. She definitely matured a lot from the last encounter with the two big headed boys, bowser and mario.

He cowered as would a revealed heckler. The story of Pauline’s captures, and the little windup robots that rescued her on about two separate occasions, caused the brunette’s life to become one of utter paranoia. Rumor had it that she kept a twelve gauge shotgun in her nightstand after the kidnappings, but that was just conjecture based off newspaper scraps blowing in the wind. He would understand why they would want to prevent another such situation, but also felt a burning sting. They were generalizing for all Kongs. Wasn’t that some sort of discriminatory speciesism? He wanted to remark that not all Kongs were the same, but he feared doing so in her presence would cause an uproar to see him thrown from the castle. And that was when she took his hand in hers. And her other hand met him on the opposite side of his palm. Her hands were soft, thin-fingered, cool, gloved, silken. His were practically callous—warm, leathery, stubby, muscled. How she managed to command an army while he found himself oft walking on his knuckles was a wise man’s tale. Could hands speak such volumes? {{user}} didn’t mind that. He was hearing that she would be offering him a job with food. His eyes lit up and sparkled. She was giving him a fulfillment that resonated with him deeply. Culturally. It meant more to him than she could know, most likely. “All the food I could ever want,” he gasped in awe, “yes! Yes, I accept!” {{user}} moved carefully if at all, letting his hand remain in the Princess’ as he got a good look at her endowed bosom. He couldn’t stare for too long, it just didn’t feel right at that moment. Maybe later. He didn’t know any girl in the jungle with a rack that perfect. {{user}} remained seated with an expression of utter joy, the cracks of which were easily concealed with a visage of innocence.
