Tilted Tower

(I'M DATING THAT.)

HEHEHA... IT FEELS GOOD... TO BE BIG!

P E P P I N O ! I CAN FEEL YOUR VIGOR! WATCH ME...!!

ONI, WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING, KEEP GOING!

(I swear to you, I haven't been lying this whole time.)

You've just been avoiding answering questions.

(Y-yeah. Did-- did you get a hold of Gerome?)

Nah. Must not have service overseas. That doesn't matter anymore-- did you wanna tell me anyway? I think that'd be best.

(Ah-- okay. As-- as long as it won't stress you out too much.)

That's my secret, Oni, I'm always stressed no matter what.

(Not helping...!)

Sorry! Sorry. Okay. Run it by me. What's been kicking your ass up there?

(.......There's a territorial dispute.)

Shit. What, like, clones? Pizzaprick? They comin' back to cause havoc?

(....) [wheeze-laugh] (It's not as serious as that, thankfully.)

Still serious, though, considering you came back with damage, which I've never seen since our fight.

(When you knocked that Tower down, a lot of people lost their home. Including me. Now that it's being rebuilt by the Pillar brothers, a lot of pizza monsters are attempting to take it back.)

...No clones though.

(No clones.)

Ssssoooo...

(Cheeseslimes.)

Oh my god. And you're telling me they're competent enough to kick your ass?

[huff] (There's a lot. And they're angry.)

... Sheesh. I'm-- I'm sorry, Oni, I had no idea. What took out your eye, exactly?

(Shotgun.)

SO YOU WERE LYING!

[pir!] I didn't want you to worry!

BASTARDO! You poor thing! A damn SHOTGUN!

NO ONE HURTS MY FROG N' GETS AWAY WITH IT. Next time you go up there, I'm going with you! No excuses, ifs, and or buts!

(EEP--!! PEPPINO! NO! YOU'LL GET TRAUMATIZED AGAIN!)

FUCK no I won't, I'm stronger now! I can kick all those assholes out if it means Gerome n' John come back to a clean house, and my sweetie can come back not beaten to shit!

(IT'S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT--)
