    Summary

    impasto - The Italian word for dough.
    gaster- Latin for stomach; comes from an ancient Greek word γαστήρ (gastēr) which also means stomach/belly/paunch.


    After weeks of his doughy clone offering him a slice of his pizza at the end of the day, Peppino got hungry enough to try it.

    Nothing bad would happen if he ate a couple slices... right?

    Summary

    Peppino, after years of mostly working alone, ended up employing a weird bunch of characters as his new staff after the tower fell: an adventurer gnome, that gnome's giant rat that he got from said tower, and out of fear of his safety, a disturbing doppelgänger of himself.

    Months later, Peppino's doing pretty well off for himself. He's not exactly out of debt, but with the increase of customers actually dining in his restaurant instead of just ordering delivery, it seems like he could mostly forget about all that and focus on his work.

    But one autumn day, he ends up waking with a strange feeling in his gut that will change him and how he sees his staff.

    Summary

    A ring echoed through the kitchen, the phone was in a different room. It seemed like somebody wanted to order. Peppino walked over and picked up the line. He was interrupted by a painfully familiar voice. Turns out, his brother and his nephew, Maurice and Maurice Junior, want to visit him for his birthday. Peppino finds this out the day they arrive, and he's completely lost.

    Maddie doesn't want to know what the final nail will be.
