As of Paper Mario, Luigi keeps himself a diary in which he writes random things— whether it be about serious topics that bug him, or simply little things such as what he did during the day. I decided to implement that diary element into my roleplaying a bit, so that’s what this page is for. Since the roleplay isn’t divided my ‘chapters,’ my updating shall be randomly spaced over a few days, with multiple updates during one day, as well as whenever an important event occurs in character. This page is merely for entertainment and doesn’t have a major impact on headcanon. However, other characters would be able to read this page were they given the opportunity to take his diary. Enjoy!

Dear Diary,
- Page One
Have I ever complained about filthy this house is? Because it’s filthy, filthy, filthy! First of all, I haven’t cleaned in ages, and… well, that’s rather negligent of me. Secondly, Mario has absolutely no consideration of what I do for the both of us in maintaining this house. How do I know this? Why, he just leaves his stuff all over the place! It took me over an hour to pick it all up! I’m probably gonna have to have a firm chat with him later…
On another note, I really think we should get a lock or something. Aliens and random Yoshis keep bursting into the house… Sigh. Sometimes it’s inconvenient when big bro is away from the house so much. I always have to take care of it myself— and then when he comes back home, it’s Luigi this, Luigi that. I adore him, he’s my bro and all, but sheee…

Hello again! Sorry I haven’t written for a while… it’s been rather busy, and then I went under the weather.
I’ll just go right ahead into what’s bothering me— ugh, people! They’re so difficult. You see, Diary, there’s this Yoshi nature preserve nearby the princess’s castle, and I had an argument with the manager about taking it down. No matter how much evidence I provided about it not being beneficial to the Yoshi population there, he’d always fire back with, “Nuh uh, I ain’t listenin’ to you. I don’t got enough money to s’pport this here preserve, so I ain’t keepin’ it,” even when I offered to provide some of my own money!
And now I’m jittery… Is he really going to take down the preserve? Those poor Yoshis… they’d have nowhere else to go. They’re not used to the wild…

I had a run in with a baby Yoshi today while Mario was playing Truth or Dare. Since nobody sent any dares, I was just out gardening when I heard somebody crying. Apparently that awful manager will go through with taking down the preserve. I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but now I’m getting anxious… I really hope he won’t go through with it.
- Page Four
… What exactly happened to me?
I don’t really know.
I don’t know how to feel and I seem to be upsetting people around me.
- Page Five
I can’t even make a full entry, Diary.
I can’t.
- Page Six
I’ve been quiet.
Maybe by being silent I’ll be so absorbed that the sound of myself crying won’t be so loud.
- Page Seven
I’m still not ready to touch people again. I’m not really sure what defines a ‘right’ touch and a ‘wrong’ touch. What Rosalina did to me certainly was wrong. Her hands… didn’t belong there. And her lips didn’t, either. At least, not yet. If I even consider her that way… I was already uncertain enough, and of course she just has to make my decision harder…
Not that I’m mad at her or anything. I’m more mad at myself. How I keep doing this to people… leaving them in doubt, hurting them with my indecision… I need to make my mind up, but I just don’t know how. What does love feel like?
