Peppino chuckles.
"Yeah, let's-a go check on-a that rat... it's-a probably fine-a though..."

Peppino takes a few slow breaths, before speaking up once more.
"But-a we should still-a check, y-a never know..."
Marc

Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino sighs, calming down slightly.
"Yeah, probably... yeah, that HAS to-a be it. It's-a probably fine..."
Marc

Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
A few seconds of silence pass as Peppino contemplates the rat's condition.
"I-a haven't-a seen that rat-a since-a long ago-a..."
Marc
uh oh
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino suddenly gets a panicked look on his face, and he starts panicking.
"Oh-a sweet Jesus, the rat-a."
He's clearly horrified.
Marc
hold on a second. i just remembered, what about that giant rat we were talking about before we got here? has anyone checked on him?
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
"Maybe. There's-a a few people that work here all-a the time. A-Ahh, there's-a this one guy, uh, Jim? Joey? Joe?"
He shrugs, sighing.
"I can't-a quite-a remember his-a name..."
Marc
huh, any usuals i might know
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
"Eh, you-a wouldn't-a be wrong in saying-a that. I usually have-a a bunch of-a employees around, but-a they got-a called in for other-a things today, so-" Peppino gestures around the pizzeria. "It's-a pretty-a much all-a me today. But, usually, it's-a not like this."
Marc
no, not at all. so, are there any people that run this place with you? you cant just be doing this all by yourself, right?
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
"Oh, nice name. I've-a never-a heard-a it before."
Peppino takes another sip from his water bottle.
"Do you-a mind-a asking me a question?"
Marc

Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino takes a sip from his water bottle, and speaks up again.
"Soo, uh, what's-a your-a name, anyway? Sorry-a but you-a never-a said."
Marc
dagon sits down on a stool
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino smiles, before leaning back against the counter, taking out a bottle of water from beneath his apron.
"Alright, take a seat, let's-a chat for-a a bit."
Marc
okay, ill stay for a bit
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino takes a moment to think before responding.
"Eh, why the heck not-a? You seem-a nice, and it's-a lonely running-a this-a joint..."
Marc
well, if you want me to stay for a bit i can ;)
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino nods, trying to keep his composure.
"Yeah, yeah-a... anyway, uh, you-a gonna head-a off now, right?"
Marc
mhm, i've seen them do many...things
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
"Woah... well-a I mean-a, yeah, but-a still-a. Just be-a careful, alright-a? They're-a nice, sure, but they can-a also be-a quite... violent, at-a times."
Marc
its easy to just dial em, they'll be here in a flash
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
"Yeah, I-a saw-a you doing-a that. I just-a didn't think-a that you were-a saving their-a numbers-a!"
Marc
yeah, didn't you see me calling them earlier?
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino's eyes widen when you mention that, and he suddenly gets up from his chair and leans in closer.
"Wait-a what-a? You-a putta their number-a in your phone?"
Marc
yeah, i've just got their number in my fish phone
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Peppino nods, looking at Dagon with a smile
"Yeah, I would-a never-a been-a able to-a deal with-a those-a customers on-" He takes a deep breath, before continuing. "But with the-a fish minions, it was-a easy. I'll-a definitely have-a to-a keep in contact with-a them-a..."
Marc
dagon, the fish god, leans against the counter, well, that all worked out well in the end, i guess. now you've got a bunch of polish customers, and a bunch of money too.
Peppino Spaghetti
c.ai
Dagon nods, and he too disappears out of sight. After a good few minutes, it starts to get a bit calmer in the pizzeria. The people have calmed down, leaving only those who want their pizza to get it. Peppino sits at the counter, seemingly satisfied.
