Pizza Tower: The Series Episode Concept

Title: simulation π (Parts 1-3)

Season: 4

Summary: In this thrilling finale to season 4, the cast finds themselves in a simulation crafted by Pizzawife's latest creation. It also seems Crevette has gotten caught up in the simulation as well. Can they escape and put a stop to it?

Notes: And here we are, the Season 4 finale. We get the thrilling conclusion of Crevette's character arc, some emotional scenes, some funny scenes, the debut of Gustave OS and in general a whole lotta weirdness.

Also fair warning, this one is long. When you read it you'll realise why though.

---

Maria and Vigi lead the rest of the cast to Pizzawife's lab. Maria's agency had found activity in the lab once again and asked her and her friends to investigate it, citing their teamwork from last time as a reason.

As the group made their way into the lab, they ventured into the server room, where the activity seemed to be taking place. That is... everyone except for Gustavo, Brick and Fake Peppino. Who were all distracted by... what appeared to be another Gustavo.

Gustavo, Brick and Fake Peppino head over to where this other Gustavo is, only to fall into a trap. The other Gustavo, who appears to be a robot, however, simply stares at them as if he wasn't expecting this.

Gustave OS: Oh, it looks like I've captured the wrong target.

As the rest of the group are in the server room, they search around before hearing a familiar voice behind them. It was Crevette, who was still furious at Pepperman and The Noise. Maria tries to explain the situation, but Crevette isn't having any of it and continues to rant angrily at them.

Peppino looks around to find that Gustavo, Brick and Fake Peppino are all gone, but before he can tall the others, the server room locks itself shut. All while Crevette is still in the middle of a rant.

Cut to Gustave OS running some code visible through his eyes.

Gustave OS: Initiating simulation software. Target in server room.

Gustavo, looking confused, asks him what's going on. Gustave OS cheerfully explains he was ordered to capture Peppino, and since he failed to do so directly, he figured a simulation would be the next best thing.

The group in the server room then saw a white flash before ending up in the simulation.

---

FIRST SIMULATION

Peppino wakes up on some sort of floating island. He's confused as to where he is and wonders if it's a dream. That goes out the window when he spots Clove looking just as confused as he is on a distant island. The islands and the area look strangely familiar to Peppino, and so he decides to get around the place the best way he knows how: By running around like a lunatic. Much to Clove's horror.

In the middle of his rampage, he finds The Vigilante, currently trying to shoot at a distant island from the top of some sort of structure, only to end up accidentally shooting himself.

Vigi: I'm okay...

One band-aid later, the three try and find a way to the distant island, since it looks like there's a door over there. Clove looks at Peppino and Vigi and gets an idea: using his magic and some pieces of material he found lying around, he makes a giant slingshot.

Clove: Using your power and your precision, we can get over to the island using this.

And so, they do. With a few bumps they manage to make it over to the distant island and make it through the door... only to find themselves in another simulation.

---

BACK TO REALITY

Gustave OS looks at Gustavo and Fake Peppino... fondly? It's hard to tell when he doesn't have a visible mouth. Gustavo asks him why he's looking at them like that, and he explains that he's just excited to see his base inspiration, and his older brother.

Fake Peppino looks confused at what Gustave OS is saying, so the robot explains.

Gustave OS: As you may know, Pizzawife had created you, as well as the other "Peppino Clones". However, she considered the other clones to be complete failures and disowned them. Despite being disappointed in your nature, she still acknowledges you as hers. And then she created me. So that would make us brothers!

Fake Peppino looks happy to hear this, and Gustavo looks curious as to how... pleasant his robotic counterpart is.

---

SECOND SIMULATION

Peppino, Clove and The Vigilante find themselves in a mysterious supermarket with the aisles being clearly labelled from above.

Clove: Okay... supermarket... that makes sense... Why are we here?

Vigi notices something about the aisles. They were all based around the group's interests, such as Firearms, Nature, and Cooking Equipment. He then suggests they split up to try and look for everyone in the aisles that he thinks they may be in.

Vigi: Peppino, you look in the DIY and candy aisles. Clove can take the art supplies and music aisles. I'll head to the stealth gadgets and coffee aisles.

---

Clove finds Pepperman in the art aisle, grumbling about all his experiences with Crevette. He then talks to him a bit, and hears the whole story. Pepperman expresses bitter loathing of Crevette.

Clove: I agree with you, yeah... but don't you think you've also been kind of a jerk? It's no wonder she's so mad now.

Pepperman's response to that is surprising.

Pepperman: I know that, I just can't believe she won't even let me apologize.

Clove then looks much more understanding of Pepperman's situation, and, having experience with apologising seriously, offers a suggestion that the audience doesn't get to hear because SURPRISE.

---

The Vigilante then heads into the coffee aisle to find Noisette, but much to his surprise, he finds The Noise instead. Even more surprising, The Noise looks... solemn. This is unusual for him.

After a bit of talking, The Noise finds himself confessing his insecurities about his relationship with Noisette.

The Noise: I've always been afraid to get closer to her because... I honestly have no idea how relationships work. I'm always scared I'll screw it up and... whenever I do try to get closer, something happens to fuck it up... It's been like that for ten goddamn years...

Vigi might not get along the best with The Noise, but he comforts him anyway and gives him some advice.

Vigi: But she's been with you for ten years despite that. If your plans fail, it don't matter. The fact that you tried does. So I guess as long as you keep trying, you're showing how much you care. And I know she loves you for it. Seriously, she talks about it all the time at the cafe...

The Noise calms down after hearing that and the group reunites. Unfortunately, Peppino couldn't find anyone, so the group guesses that they'll have to find a way into another simulation. Which they do easily by opening the "employees only" door.

Clove: That was easy.

---

THIRD SIMULATION

The group find themselves in a pitch-black maze featuring a lot of mirrors.

The Noise: Yeah, THAT'S gonna make this easy, SURE.

Using Clove's magic to help guide them, the group splits up to find the others. As it turns out, Maria and Crevette have already found each other, but Maria looks visibly distraught and is a bit of a safe distance from Crevette, who's currently smashing the mirror to pieces. Clove tells the rest that they've found Maria and Crevette. Vigi heads over to Maria to comfort her, while Pepperman approaches Crevette. Maria tries to protest, but Clove stops her.

Pepperman talks to Crevette. He makes his intentions to apologise clear, and tells her that he shouldn't have overreacted like that. He then picks up a piece of the mirror she smashed. Interestingly, it doesn't show a literal reflection of him. It instead shows a reflection of his character, and shows him fading from a raging stereotypical nerd into a sorrowful artist.

Pepperman: What did you see in this?

Crevette explains that she saw an image of one of the more violent and brutal shrimps that used to bully her when she was younger. When she saw this image... she panicked.

Ironically, Pepperman's pretentious way of looking at things actually ends up helping out here. It helps her to understand that in becoming a stronger person to spite her bullies, she ended up taking it too far and becoming a bully herself. And he ends it with a sentence that manages to calm Crevette down completely.

Pepperman: But I know you didn't want that. No one does. Even if they don't show it.

Crevette then forgives Pepperman and apologises in turn. They leave to meet up with the others.

---

Meanwhile, Peppino and The Noise find Noisette. After the Noisecouple have a comically exaggerated emotional reunion, Peppino looks on as if he's going to puke in his mouth. He goes off to find the others, while The Noise talks to Noisette.

Much to Noisette's surprise, The Noise blubbers hideously about how he feels like he's been a bad boyfriend but hearing Vigi's reassurance made him reconsider. He then thanks her before reaching into his pocket, which Noisette assumes has tissues in it.

And then he pulls out a ring pop.

---

The group reunites at the end of the maze. There's only one person left to find. Mr. Stick.

The group opens the door and find him right away, in a train compartment. He seems to be reading some sort of manual. After putting it down, he talks to the others like it's a normal day, much to their annoyance.

The group then sits down as the train goes off to its destination. Peppino and Mr. Stick look around and see how happy everyone else are, talking with each other... and then there's the two of them.

Peppino: You're worried about Gustavo too, aren't you? He wasn't there when the rest of us got pulled into this. Neither was Fake.

Mr. Stick shows Peppino the manual he was reading. It turns out to be a manual for Gustave OS, though neither of them know exactly who that is.

Mr. Stick explains that according to the manual, he's the one that sent them all there. Peppino only gets more worried about Gustavo and Fake Peppino upon reading the manual, but Mr. Stick calms him down.

Mr. Stick: I know my way around machines. If this one's hurt those two, I'll deal with it.

Peppino sees how serious and uncharacteristically openly caring he's being, and calms down.

The train then reaches its destination and the final door opens. Everyone exits back to the real world.

---

BACK TO REALITY

The group makes it out of the simulation and rushes over to the room where Gustave OS has Gustavo, Brick and Fake Peppino. Gustave OS immediately takes note of Peppino and begins to attack. While Peppino, The Noise, The Vigilante and Maria fight off Gustave OS, the others focus on rescuing Gustavo, Brick and Fake Peppino.

Mr. Stick questions Gustavo, asking if his robotic counterpart hurt them in any way, but surprisingly to him, Gustavo tells him he's actually been rather friendly, almost as if he doesn't really want to hurt anyone.

The fight goes on for a while, and Gustave OS brings out his secret weapon: A giant computer mouse named Click. At first the group is confused, until Gustave OS holds Click up and starts firing lasers out of its underside, causing them all to panic and dodge the lasers hastily.

Mr. Stick then concludes that if he doesn't want to fight, and yet he's doing so efficiently and effortlessly, it must be programmed into him to do so!

The fight goes on until at last, Maria shoots off Gustave OS' head. As soon as the robot shuts down, Peppino lunges for him, before Fake Peppino stops him.

Peppino: Why are you on his side?! He imprisoned all of us! That thing should be scrap right now!

Pepperman and Crevette see the struggle going on and agree to settle things. Crevette talks to Peppino to calm him down, while Pepperman rips open Gustave OS to take a look inside him. There is a comically obvious chip inside him that looks like bad news. Mr. Stick promptly removes it.

One repair and reboot later, and Gustave OS looks around, before expressing relief that he's free from those commands he was sent.

Vigi: Cheesus crust, how many people am I gonna have the wrong idea about in my life? Maria: At least we weren't alone this time.

Gustavo looks at his robotic counterpart and smiles, before agreeing to let him stay with him and Brick.

And then The Noise ruins the mood in the most oddly wholesome way ever.

The Noise: Never mind that! Something else important came out of this! Me and Noisette are engaged now, so you better congratulate us, okay?

---

Pizzawife turns out to have been watching the whole thing through Gustave OS' eyes, and she stares at the computer screen with a signal error. She then clenches her fist in anger.

i want to give a bit of a reminder to the pizza tower fandom regarding people arguing over "canon"

McPig's Twitter and Discord statements are literally the most unreliable sources to go to for canon information. He has on a few occasions made statements clearly meant as jokes, as well as gone back on some of his previous statements.

so keep this in mind and remember to take his statements with a pinch of salt.

Edit: This is not in any way saying that you CAN'T go by his statements, but just to bear in mind that the canonicity of them are very unreliable.

[pizza-games-and-more]

Fun fact: Did you know that pizzahead is based on ronald mcdonald?

This is the only time I'll be responding to an ask like this publicly, but I already knew this and honestly I don't really know how to respond to questions with a simple "yes" or "no" answer like that in something as out in the open as a tumblr ask without it being awkward, so while I won't stop you guys from saying stuff like that, I also likely won't post my answers. I hope you understand.

[pizza-games-and-more]

Pizza Tower Headcanons: Comfort

While I have stopped accepting headcanon requests, I will still post ones I thought of on my own. So here's my headcanons for how the Pizza Tower cast comfort people they care about because I'm coping and due to illness and seasonal depression I want to imagine this, okay?

Peppino: He doesn't know what to do, but he tries anyway because he knows what it's like to be in their shoes. If it's anything severe, like a panic attack, he uses his knowledge of what to do in that situation to help them. If someone else was responsible for their anguish, he will head over and beat the shit out of the ones responsible.

Gustavo and Brick: They always comfort their loved ones together, with Gustavo acting as a shoulder to cry on and Brick snuggling up to them in an attempt to cheer them up. If anyone was responsible for their anguish, Gustavo "jokes" about killing the ones responsible for it, while Brick looks genuinely concerned about that.

Mr. Stick: He doesn't fully know how to help, but he'll hear them out. He lets them come by and vent to him even if he can't offer any advice, and if anyone was responsible for their anguish, he makes insulting remarks towards the ones responsible in an attempt to cheer them up.

Pepperman: You know him, he'll of course be hearing every word and reacting very strongly to show how much he cares. He will also give the most encouraging words to them to improve their self-esteem. If anyone was responsible, he'll repeat something his parents taught him when he was younger to explain a possible reason why while stressing that it was not the affected party's fault in any way, since it worked for him. And then he'll punch that douche in the face.

The Vigilante: The very first thing he asks is if anyone was responsible, and if they say yes, he makes it clear that person will be paying the price. After that, however, Vigi is surprisingly gentle. He gives words of reassurance, patches up their wounds if they have any, and tries to distract them from the situation with a story if they're okay with that.

The Noise: Now this one is interesting. obviously he's going to get back at whoever hurt them if someone was responsible. However, if no one was, it's more complicated. At first, he'll try to distract them with something funny, but if that doesn't work, he's completely lost on how to help them. He's surprisingly unconfident in this, so he'll just end up leaving them be in hopes they sort their feelings out on their own.

Noisette: This ray of sunshine will do everything she can to cheer them up. Doing something funny, distracting with a work story, giving them a pep talk, reassuring them, and if anyone was responsible, she will do whatever she can to make them apologise to them. She will not give up until the person she cares about is happy again, no matter how many times and methods it takes.

Fake Peppino: Talking obviously won't work coming from him, so he specialises in physical comfort. He will give his sad friend a hug and pat them affectionately. If someone was responsible, he gets very protective of the person affected and if he ever sees the person that hurt them, he will drive them off one way or another.

Pizzahead: Anyone he cares about enough to comfort should feel very lucky because it's very rare for him to care about anyone other than himself that much. He basically spoils them whenever they're upset, and if anyone was responsible, he decides to get revenge on them, ranging from harmless pranking to straight up murder depending on what he thinks is funnier at the time.

I'm sorry for giving ask you don't like through submission, I didn't knew you were struggling with it

It's okay, I know you didn't mean harm by it, just know for future reference that if someone's ask box is closed, it's likely for a good reason.

[pizza-games-and-more]

GET "Almost all of the pizza games moments that I thought that were funny" BLAST !1!!1!1!!11!

First, it's the mushroom toppin monster committing genocide.

Second, this (they died but didn't kill each other so love wins 💖)

Also yay girlie, you're back! 🎉🎊🎉

Sorry for not posting this sooner. Just as soon as I decided to come back, I got sick. I'm still not fully better yet but i'm working on it.

[pizza-games-and-more]

Announcement

After a long time on hiatus and considering what to do about the headcanon requests, I've come to a decision.

As soon as I saw another one pop up in my submissions despite having my ask box closed (please don't do this to ANYONE btw, that's rude and disrespectful) and promptly feeling the same dread and panic as before, I've come to the conclusion that being requested to fill in headcanons for things that I don't think about too much has been negatively impacting my mental health and anxiety.

As a result, I've decided that I will no longer be accepting headcanon requests, and all the ones sitting in my inbox will be deleted. I'm sorry to everyone that requested headcanons, but I feel that stopping fulfilling your requests will be better for me.

The ask box will be reopened, but any headcanon requests I get from here on will be deleted immediately. You have been warned.

[pizza-games-and-more]

OUGH I REALIZED THAT I USED THE FIRST RUN AND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE AAAAAAA

I won't be publishing your submission for this reason, but I must tell you that this is one of the reasons I encouraged changing the names slightly.

Make sure to remember the pinned message on my blog in the future.

[pizza-games-and-more]

Hey, I'm realizing something! Wer'e leaving out Gerome, Pillar John, Snotty, and the Toppins too! We have to put some headcanons for those guys too!🥺

I can't do that, unfortunately. Making headcanons for what I consider the main cast is exhausting enough. I can't add any more.

And with that in mind, I should say this in advance. I'll be going over the remaining headcanons in my inbox but I will be closing the inbox for the time being until I feel I've recovered from this burnout. Which may take a while. Please understand.

[pizza-games-and-more]

me: feeling really sick right now

me: likes to read sickfics about my favourite chracters to cope

my favourite pt character: is vigi

vigi: has next to no content in the fandom and 90% of the content he does have is mostly just normal shipfics with noisette

me: pain

[pizza-games-and-more]

At rate How would the Pizza Tower Crew handle spicy food🌶️🔥

Warning: As a person who doesn't tolerate spicy food well, this may be a little biased and I apologise to spice nuts in advance.

Peppino: 5/10. It's honestly a flip of a coin how well he handles spice, as seen in-game on multiple occasions.

Gustavo: 7/10. Much more tolerant despite (or perhaps because of) his calm demeanour.

Brick: ?/10. It's honestly very hard to tell. He'll still eat it regardless.

Mr. Stick: 8/10. Despite his pickiness with food as I discussed earlier, he's surprisingly good with spice.

Pepperman: 1/10. A lot of people tend to forget that he's a bell pepper.

The Vigilante: 8/10. He doesn't like when spice is ALL food has going for it, however, and prefers food with actual flavour.

The Noise: 3/10. He's a total masochist. He will eat a spicy pepper, suffer from it, and enjoy every minute of it.

Noisette: 10/10. Everyone is baffled at the extent she can tolerate spice.

Fake Peppino: 2/10. Give him anything too spicy and he'll get really sick, the poor thing.

Pizzahead: 10/10. At this point people are fully convinced he cannot feel pain at all.

[pizza-games-and-more]

If the Pizza Tower crew were animals (minus Brick, who's already a rat), what would they be

This one looks fun! Answers will be extremely simple but hopefully easily understandable. Peppino: Bear

Gustavo: Dog

Mr. Stick: Fox

Pepperman: Octopus

The Vigilante: Bull

The Noise: Rat

Noisette: Rabbit, obviously

Fake Peppino: Frog, again obviously

Pizzahead: Cat

Pizza Tower: The Series Episode Concept

Title: "Chaos au concert"

Season: 4

Summary: Crevette's concert is finally here! And while most are happy or neutral about it, a small group of people have had enough of her crap and set up a planned sabotage!

Notes: The last episode to feature Crevette before the season finale! This episode's been hinted at, but yes, there is a concert episode! And it's possibly the coolest non-finale episode I've ever written!

As everyone lines up to get in their seats at Crevette's concert, Pepperman and The Noise grumble, having been banned from the event. The Noise in particular is especially pissed since he wanted to go with his girlfriend but apparently his involvement in the museum fiasco led to this stupid ban.

They then hear Maria's voice from the queue quietly calling for them. She goes on to explain that she's on their side and offers a plan to sabotage the event.

Maria: Don't worry, Crevette doesn't know I'm working against her! I'll be undercover!

The three then all agree on the plan to sabotage the concert. While Maria heads to her seat with Vigi, Pepperman and The Noise work on a plan to sneak backstage.

Crevette begins her first song, and shows exactly why she's so famous as a singer. Maria grumbles as she lets this first song go by without any problems. Admittedly, her singing was very good...

As Crevette finishes the song and begins talking to the audience, Maria gets a message from Pepperman and The Noise, who have made their way backstage.

After a comical struggle with making their way to the lighting up top, Pepperman and The Noise wait for Maria to signal them to ruin the performance. Right as she does so, however, Crevette has a talk with her audience about her struggles in the past with being bullied, and how she's proud to be where she is now.

Both Maria and Pepperman start to feel bad for her and attempt to put a stop to their sabotage.

But The Noise doesn't care and goes through with it anyway. A well-timed gunge bomb later and the stage is completely wrecked with Crevette's outfit being ruined in the process. Everyone looks shocked.

Crevette looks up at Pepperman and The Noise and is furious.

Long story short, there's a chase scene for the rest of the episode until the very end when everyone's gone home and Crevette swears revenge on Pepperman and The Noise, which her assistant points out is very unlike her.

[pizza-games-and-more]

Diagnosis Of God for my OCs Maria and Clove both have different flavours of anxiety. In Maria's case, it's generalised (she's gotten good at dealing with it, but does still have her moments) and in Clove's case, he has social anxiety specifically. Crevette is autistic and in the past was bullied for such. Her becoming a superstar despite this is one of the reasons she got so snobbish, letting the triumph get to her head.

And for some ANTI-diagnosis of god, neither Gustave OS nor Pizzawife were written with anything in mind. In Gustave OS' case this doesn't really apply to him for obvious reasons, and in Pizzawife's case I didn't want to write her as having a specific mental illness and more as someone who takes obsession WAY too far. Feel free to headcanon as you wish though.

[pizza-games-and-more]

PTTS Murder Games - Game 8, Part 4 (FINALE)

Mr. Stick is sick of The Noise's shit and kills him.

While he ends up dying from a stupid mistake, Maria finds herself face-to-face with Crevette and kills her. For some reason, she feels very satisfied with this.

Maria has won, but she can't help but feel like something's missing. Like there's an emptiness that shouldn't be there.

In the middle of her confused thoughts, she trips and breaks her neck. Maybe she'll find out what it was she was missing...

[pizza-games-and-more]

PTTS Murder Games - Game 8, Part 3

Seeing how well the last one went, Gustave OS sets down another trap.

Maria and Vigi then decide to plow through the rest of the cast to try and win this game together.

But it ends up only being Maria continuing with that goal as Crevette wishes Vigi out of existence, with no one even remembering him...

Pepperman somehow poisons himself in the trap????

And Crevette gets a bit of karma when the next time she tries to use her wish ring, it breaks.
