Wait, you fought Bruno?

-R

" ..Once. It was when we first met, before he could really be tamed. "

" ..If y'ask me, it was pretty damn scary at the time. But even with how aggressive he used t'be it isn't anything i couldn' handle. "

" ..Vigert, that was a long time ago. You don't know if you could do that now, especially with- "

" Phil, don't mention it. "

" ..Right. "

[p1zzabrainz]

Noise what do you mean she remembers everything?

" Alright, you little rat, tell us what you mean- "

(( Theo rolls his eyes. ))

" What I MEAN is that while she took a pretty good BONK to the head, she remembers her childhood! I mean- Look at Bruno, he doesn't have any of Peppino's childhood memories! Zip zilch natta! "

" ..so she has to be the right Pizazz.. "

" Yepperino! Right on the dot! "

[p1zzabrainz]

So what were you working on Phil

" ... "

" ..What? You want me to show you? Uh- No thanks. I need to finish it, first! "

" ..I'm sure everyone is tired, though. We can head back to my studio for the night if you'd like. "

" ..lord, please. ion' think i've chased anybody that fast in a while. "

(( Pizazz giggles sheepishly, looking away from the pair. Bruno slowly stalks behind them, thwumping down onto the ground. ))

" ..I think we have our verdict, then. Like I said, I need to talk to you alone. "

(( Phil gestures to you and Vigert, motioning towards his studio. ))

Under the tower? How did anything underneath survive? I would have imagined any levels below the surface would have been buried in debris.

" ..We found a vault after 'bout a week of diggin through rubble. We got it open, but it was pretty blocked off. I keep tellin everyone it can't be that important, but I guess that aint good enough fer Peppino. "

" If anything, we haven't got a clue what Peppino's itchin to find under there. But whatever it is, maybe what we find'll ease his mind. "

" Lemme go on my own. "

" Vigert, that's dangerous. "

" Can't be any more dangerous than Bruno. You know I've fought him before. "

" That's not what I meant.. "

[p1zzabrainz]

Oh we'll do it again... maybe.. probably.

" ..just tryin to lighten the mood, honestly.. i've never been more scared until now it feels like, haha.. "

" is this.. a compliment..? a threat....??? "

( 1/6 )

[p1zzabrainz]

we threw a bunch of kraft singles at him it was VERY funny (he didn't really think it was though...)

"...man, i wish i coulda come to see it.. promise me you'll maybe do it again..? "

( 6 more asks until the confrontation. )

[p1zzabrainz]

Hey, random question, you don’t have to answer, but did you find anything strange in that rubble you woke up in? I heard there was some odd stuff in the tower and it got me curious.

" ..I remember waking up and seeing.. Something. It was really blurry- But it looked like a hand.. sticking out of the rubble. and there was a floating eye around where i'd woke up. that's how i got in contact with all of you. when you guys first talked to me, it was the biggest breath of relief i think i've ever taken, haha.. "

[p1zzabrainz]

Hey, who knows? Maybe she’s a zombie, or has a secret twin!

-R

" ...I know what yer talkin' about. That poster.. We brought it up a few times, but the Pizazz we knew -- our boss -- would never talk about it. Always super quiet when th' topic came up.. Like she didn' wanna talk about it. "

" It never really meant much. We didn' talk 'bout it much cus we thought it was a sore subject. Either way.. The other person on the poster looked.. Very different from Pizazz. "

" We all watched him chase the Pizazz we know now away. Or.. At least.. I think? God, this whole thing is.. Too confusing. We didn' know what to think when he told us t' find er. "

" I'm willin t'bet after all that, she'd end up at the ruins. If she remembers where that is.. Cmon. Let's find 'er. Again. "

(( Vigil starts walking at a slower, yet still brisk and urgent pace. Bruno, who was sitting with Theo and chatting amongst themselves, starts to walk with you. ))
