Listen, tubby, I've seen this before.
Mysterious star, Peppino goes outside, ends up finding the remains of da tower, gets jumped by Pizzaface, then needs ta use magic little scrolls to regain the ability to friggin' GRAB.
Well, glad to see you! Well, all of you, anyways!
I've been pretty busy too! Especially given, um...
Certain. Endeavors.
Well, less "still here" and more "came back after a while"
Did notice a lot of you guys were gone though. What happened?
Well, jeez, no need ta be rude about it.
Pizzano's a guy who looks a lot like Peppino, not exactly da best company, especially when yer workin' at a candy parlor like me.
...Won't hold ya, folks, this place seems way emptier than the last time I was here!
Where'd everyone go? Peppino? Vigi? Theodore? Anyone? Where'd all those folks from the tower run off to?
