Pizza Tower RP! (But with OCs this time yaay!) Usual rules apply.

"Oh boy..."

Cory: *yawwwn* Today's been so slow... it's gotta be almost five, right?
(He checks his watch.)
Cory: *siiigghh* It's 12:30.

"Ugh. . ."

Cory: Why have we had NO customers today? My pizza isn't BAD, is it?

"No..."
*They take a bite of one.*
". . ."

Cory: Uh...

"Pretty good!"

Cory: Thanks!

"Yeah!"

(Suddenly, a loud crash is heard from the kitchen.)

"Y'all okay back there?"

Cory: Huh...

"..."

Cory: Uh... that wasn't there before, was it?

"No..."

(The pizza starts laughing, its laugh slowly distorting into an evil laugh.)

(No response.)
Cory: Uhh... I'll check on them. You should come with me.

*She walks with them.*

(The kitchen is empty.)

"Listen. Thius looks danerous, so I just want you to know...if I hug you, it's not because I like you(which I do, by the way), but it is instead because I am terrified of whatever is to come."

Cory: Uh... alright.

*They continue forth.*

(This pizza is on the counter.)

*She stares at it.*

Cory: Where'd...-?

*She hugs him.*

OJ is making a pizza out of boredom.

Milk: "Juicy, is that an eyeball in the pizza?"

OJ: "Sssh, this is a delicate process."

Mini John: Whaddaya doin' 'ere?!
Cory: I- I- uh-
Mini John: SPEAK, dangit!

OJ: "We're trying to take this tower down so his pizza business doesn't get destroyed."

Mini John: But why are you messin' with the ruins of the John Civilization?!

"I dunno, we're trying to get to the top of the tower."

Mini John: I don't buy it one bit. Get outta 'ere.
Cory: But the exit's closed-

"Yeah."

Mini John: Then ya leave me no choice.
(Mini John rushes at OJ.)

OJ stands still, attempting to tank it.

(Before it can reach her, Cory dives at it, grabs it, spins around, and throws it at a wall, shattering it.)
Cory: DON'T. TOUCH. HER.

She blushed, shocked.

Cory: Why?

"Eyes."

Cory: Oh...

"I-It's okay, let's get through this."

Cory: You sure?

"Yep!"

Cory: Okay...

"Let's run."

Cory: I'll help you get out of here, I promise.

OJ nodded, blushing.

Milk was vibing.

Cory: Whew... now what?

She shrugged.

(Milk notices that a new door has appeared.)

Milk: "There's a door."

Cory: Oh, there is!

Milk: "Yep."

(He walks through it.)

They followed.

(There's another door. There are ruins around it, and a sign above it that says "John Gutter".)

"John...Gutter."

[imgflip.com/i/7a0w4h we should continue here, the comments are getting too full on this image]

(Cory holds up a sign with "10" written on it.)

She blushed. "Aw shucks."

(He drops the sign.)
Cory: My turn!
(He Mach Dashes at a metal block and breaks it.)

She holds up a sign that has the infinity symbol on it, with drawings of Cory with hearts all around it.

Cory: Aww, thanks...

She giggled, running over to him.

Milk followed, not wanting to break their interaction.

Granny Pizza: And I believe that's enough for now! Actually, wait, there's one more lesson.

"What is it?"

Granny Pizza: ...Follow me.

She followed.

(Cory manages to tear his eyes away from the signs.)
Cory: Let's- uh- continue-!

"I....wanna.....wanna touch...."

(He grabs OJ by the arm and pulls her away from the sign.)

"AH-"

Cory: Sorry, but we only have three days until my pizzeria is toast!

"I-It's okay. I got a little lost."

Cory: Don't worry about it. :)

She smiled.

Milk silently followed.

(There's a medieval-looking door with a sign over it saying "Pizzascape.)

"Huh."

Cory: You alright? You sound winded...

"Y...Yeah.." She quickly caught her breath. "I'd try to go to my human form, so I'm not this cute and tiny carton, but...you know."

Cory: Yep. Anyway, l-let's go...

She looked visibly upset that she couldn't comfort him.

(He keeps walking until he finds a door.)

"There, let's go inside."

Cory: U-uh... y-you first...

OJ sprinted in. "I shall protect my husband!"

Milk sighed "oh boy."

(Cory walks in after her. It's dark. REALLY dark.)

OJ:"...Anybody got any matches?'

(He slowly steps towards it.)

She watched.

(He touches it.)

"Ew."

(A pink aura surrounds him, and then all three fall unconscious.)

"Blech-"

(They wake up in a Secret Area, a place that looks like this.)

"Uh..."

(https://youtu.be/xjuh4jryhu0 kicks in as the secret theme.)

"This place makes me feel uncomfortable."

(He starts walking around.)

They walk around as well.

(A cold draft sweeps through the room.)

OJ shivered.

Cory: What is this place...?

"I dunno, it's cold." She held her arms.

(There's a heavily damaged stone sign. All that's readable is "PILLAR CITY".)

OJ: "Pillar city. Nice."

Cory: Huh. Neat.

OJ kept shivering.

(Eventually, he reaches the tower. The door opens itself, and he dashes in.)

"AAAAAAAH-"

(He slams into a wall.)

OJ: "Honey, you okay?"

Cory: I'm great... I feel so alive!

"Haha. Me too!"

Milk: "It's like being covered in solid blood."

(Cory pulls himself off of the wall, and wipes the cheese off of his clothes.)

Milk: "Then again, I drink milk, so I'd eat it."

OJ jumped onto the ground.

Cory: So, this is the tower, eh?

OJ looked around. "Yep."

(A Pepperoni Goblin walks out of the darkness.)

"FOR CORY-" she sprinted to headbutt it.

Cory: WAIT DON'T-

She went on with it, too full of protective energy to hear.

(The goblin just kicks her. She rolls away from it like a soccer ball.)

"GAH-" She rolled into a wall, staying still. After a few seconds, she made a muffled. "Ow.."

Cory: OH GOD-! Are you okay?!

She waited for a few seconds. "I think I broke something."

(Cory slowly turns to look at the Pepperoni Goblin.)
Cory: You... son... of a bitch.

OJ: "I'm....just gonna take a breather.."

(Cory pulls a blanket out of nowhere and hands it to OJ.)

"Thanks, sweetie. I ain't built for the cold."

Milk: "I spent my adolescence in a fridge."

Cory: My father made me bare the cold every night. I would have to sleep outside, in the grass, hoping I wouldn't-

Cory: Ahem. Anyway. Let's continue forward.

OJ: "Remind me to eat your dad alive when we get home."

Cory: Got it.

She smiled.

(Cory points at a large doorway.)
Cory: Guys, I found something!

Milk and OJ went towards it.

(Cory walks through.)

They followed.

(They find themselves here.)

"Oooo!"

Cory: It's so cool! There are flags, and statues, and knights, and...
(Cory seems very, VERY excited.)

She giggled.

Cory: OJ! Can we go look at all of it?!

"Sure!"

(Cory starts exploring, and https://youtu.be/KJTof8AD3TU kicks in as the level theme.)

They followed.

(They see a Forknight walking around.)

Milk: "he's got a...fork."

Cory: On the bright side, the music's nice!

Milk: "Yep."

Milk and OJ climbed on top of him.

(He starts Mach Dashing forward, collecting all the floating pizza-topping collectibles in his path.)

"Wee."

(He hits a wall.)

They hold on.

Cory: Ouch.

Milk: "Oof."

(He starts climbing up the wall.)

OJ and Milk have a tea party on his shoulders.

Cory: ...Huh.

OJ: "Can I eat him?" She looked at Cory, her face literally going ':D'

Cory: Uh... he hasn't done anything wrong yet.

"Aww, okay."

Cory: Let's keep exploring!

"Alright!"

(Cory walks around, looking at the flags and statues.)

She held his hand.

(There's a banner depicting a cheese king.)

"Cheese."

(They find themselves in a purple cityscape. There's still a ceiling, but it's very high. They seem to be in an ancient, abandoned civilization.)

Milk: "Huh. Nice."

OJ: "WHY HE OURPLE?!"

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3FvfawnFZM kicks in as the level music.)

Milk: "Nice tunes."

Cory: This must be some kind of lost civilization. Maybe it has something to do with Pillar John?

OJ: "Probably."

Cory: Well. Let's go.
(He starts Mach Dashing through the city.)

They followed.

(He's punched out of his dash by a Mini John.)

OJ growled immediately.

(A slice of pizza appears on a small table.)

She took a little bite.

(She feels more powerful. Another slice appears, and Cory takes a bite.)

Milk goes to take a bite.

(He feels more powerful as well.)
Granny Pizza: Good! Now, let me teach you some techniques!

"Alrighty."

Granny Pizza: First things first, you're gonna want to run! You can run a lot faster now, it's called a Mach Dash! Try it!

OJ went zoom.

(Cory does the same.)

"HAHAHAHAHAH-!"

(The ruins start crumbling. Pizza Time starts again, the music kicking back in.)

"We should run."

Cory: YEP.

They ran.

(Cory starts Mach Dashing at full speed.)

They went to the exit.

(After a lot of running, the three reach the exit.)

OJ and Milk were panting.

Cory: *huff* *puff* We're gonna be... doing that a lot...

She groaned.

OJ and Milk climbed on Cory.

Cory: *sigh*

She hugged his leg.

*a door appears, labeled "ACTUAL LOBBY"*

Milk: "Oh hey, cool."

(Cory walks through it.)

They followed.

(https://youtu.be/spS77XDGSGk kicks in as the hub theme. There are several different paintings, furniture, and... neon welcome signs?)

OJ stared at the signs. "Preeeeeeettyyyyyyy..."

(Cory stares at the signs too, standing right next to OJ.)

Her eyes were full of wonder.

Cory: Ooooo, he looks cool!

"Yep."

(Lightning strikes. Cory seems a bit startled.)

She squeezed his hand.

(Screams are heard in the distance.)

"Uh-"

(Cory looks scared.)

"Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Cory: I thought this would be cool...

"It will be." She hugged him.

(He touches it. They're transported back to Pizzascape.)

"Yay!"

Cory: Now let's find the pillar. Or something.

"Yeah."

(He keeps walking forward.)

They followed.

(After some walking, he comes across everyone's favorite janitor. Gerome.)

"Huh?"

Cory: Huh. It's Gerome.

"Ooo."

Granny Pizza: You think that's fun? Wait'll you try this!

OJ gasped.

Granny Pizza: If you build up enough speed, you can break through metal!

"I can just eat it, but okay."

Granny Pizza: This goes for the green one too!

She smiled.

(A block of metal appears.)
Granny Pizza: Try it!

She ran directly at it.

(She crashes through it.)

She stopped, and made a cute little smile.

(On top of the wall, there's another sword-in-the-stone.)

"Huh."

(He grabs it, and the slightly-too-large knight armor strikes back.)

"Oh no."

Cory: Uh oh.

"Welp."

(Nearby is another scary sloped surface.)

Milk: "I'll do the honors." He pushed Cory.

(He starts sliding again. Whoopee.)

OJ sprinted after himm

Cory: Oooo. Medieval stuff is cool.

OJ: "Yeah. Guillotines, viruses."

Cory: U-uh... I was more talking about... knights and kings and stuff, b-but that's cool too!

She smiled. "I love how you think about such cute things."

(His face gets slightly red.)

She giggled.

Cory: Alright, let's go!

She smiled.

(He walks into the door.)

They followed.

Cory: *yawwwn* Today's been so slow... it's gotta be almost five, right?
(He checks his watch.)
Cory: *siiigghh* It's 12:30.

OJ pulled out the pizza, which was barely cooked. "Boom, food is served, buenos dias."

Milk: "It's Bon Appeti-'

Cory: OJ, you're an idiot. I love you so m-
(A loud crash comes from the kitchen, cutting him off mid-sentence.)

Milk: "I'll go check it out. You two continue your..." He shivered. "...interactions." He walked to the kitchen.

Cory: I'd better check it out too. I am the manager, after all.

OJ: "Where you and bubba go, I go."

(He enters the kitchen.)

OJ did as well.

Milk already went in.

(This pizza is on the counter.)

Milk: "This is literally the pizza of all time."

(Some blocks made of hard pizza crust appear.)
Granny Pizza: Try it!

She ran into it.

(She shreds through them.)

"Hahaha-!'

Cory: Ooh, I wanna try!
(More blocks appear. Cory shreds through them.)

She clapped excitedly.

Cory: HAHAHAHA-!

She giggled.

Cory: Haha... ha... that was fun. :)

"Hehehe...yep."

Milk watched.

(Cory starts Mach Dashing toward the exit while simultaneously having a panic attack.)

They went through it.

(They find themselves back in the tower lobby. The music fades back out.)

"That was a close one."

*Cory's still recovering*

She pat his back. "You there?"

Cory: *huff* *puff* Y... yeah...

"You did amazing.", She kissed his cheek.

Cory: Th... thank... you...

She smiled.

Cory: I, uh... can't move...

"So, I have two ideas. I can either get you out of that suit, or....try to fuse my body with yours, which could either kill us both, or make you big enough to fit."

Cory: What about... I just stumble ahead and hope someone can help with removing it?

"Alright."

(He keeps stumbling ahead, until he reaches something problematic. A downward sloped surface.)

"Oh no."

Cory: U-uh oh.

She attempted to help him down.

(He slides down the slope. Nice! ...When he reaches flat ground, he keeps sliding. Not nice.)

"Oh-" They ran after him.

(Cory Mach Dashes at the Pepperoni Goblin and knocks it through a wall, leaving a Pepperoni Goblin-shaped hole.)

She was still on the floor.

Cory: OJ, are you okay?!

She jumped up to her feet, putting her hands in the air. Well, one of them, the other bent out to side. Yep, her arm was broken.

Cory: Oh... oh god... does it hurt? Do you need a hug?

"My mind is immune to pain!" She teared up. "That was a lie."

Cory: ...This tower is about to be a lot redder.

"Uh, I should probably f-fix it with m...magic or something..."

Cory: Every creature in this tower will BLEED.

She blushed.

Cory: Now... let's go TAKE THIS TOWER DOWN.

She smiled. "YES!"

(All the torches in the castle start burning, giving them light to continue through the level.)

Milk and OJ got on top of Cory, knowing he was about to sprint for his life.

(Sure enough, he starts Mach Dashing through the castle.)

They held on.

(He breaks through a door, and hits a wall in the next room.)

"Oh! You okay?"

Cory: I'm fine. A little scared, because, you know, old creepy castle with audible screams. But I'm not hurt.

"Good, good."

Cory: Uh...

He went through it.

(Cory follows him.)

OJ followed.

(They end up here.)

"Uh-"

Cory: Where are we...?

Milk shrugged.

Cory: Hm...

"Let's look around."

Cory: You know, I'd ask why it's there, but I bet the pizza itself knows more about that.
(Cory starts laughing at his own joke. The pizza starts laughing too, its laugh slowly distorting into an evil laugh.)

OJ: "Either I ate the spicy dust brick again, or that pizza is looking kinda evil."

(It looks like this now.)

Milk: "Never mind, that's not the pizza of all time."

OJ threw her pizza at it.

(Pizzaface dodges the throw.)
Pizzaface: Nice shot, dingus!

OJ: "Your mom's a Dingus!"

Pizzaface: Listen up, oranges-for-brains, milkman, and salad-skull! See that giant tower on that cliff outside the window?

Milk: "Yeah."

OJ: "That's my husband you're calling a salad-skull you fathead!"

Pizzaface: In three days... THAT TOWER'S GONNA BLOW YOUR LITTLE PIZZA PLACE TO SMITHEREENS!
Cory: WHAT?!

OJ: "I WONT LET IT."

Milk: "Whack."

(Cory keeps walking forward.)

She followed.

[i hope you're ready for much later in the rp, because the entirety of floor 5 is manifestations of cory's greatest fears and trauma, and he has to battle through all of it :D]
Cory: This place is scary...

( o h )
"And that's why I am here!"

[y e s :D]
Cory: Th... thanks...

"You ever feel scared, just hug me."

(He hugs OJ. Tightly.)

"Oh-!" She squeaked, and hugged him back.

Cory: M-maybe it'll be safer inside...

"Y-Yep..." She almost got the wind knocked out of her from the hug, but said nothing.

Cory: Y-you don't understand! This pizza place is my whole life! I can't pay for a house witho-
Pizzaface: THEN GO AND STOP IT!

OJ: "THEN LET'S STOP IT!"

(Cory dashes out of the door, as fast as he can. WAY faster than OJ thought Cory could run.)

OJ and Milk were tiny, with stubby legs, so they were slow.

(He puts his hands behind them, speeding them up. Pizzaface floats behind, watching them.)

OJ and Milk then climbed onto him.

(Some creatures made of cheese are in Cory's path.)

"Huh."

(Cory doesn't stop. He keeps running full speed, and soon enough, his clothes are splattered in cheese.)

Milk: "I'm technically covered in myself."

OJ was screaming in excitement.

Cory: I do!

""Gimme, please."

(He hands her a box of matches.)

She grabbed one, shoved it into her mouth, chewed, and swallowed, before grabbing another one, and lighting itm

Cory: Uh...

"What?"

Cory: Nevermind. At least we can see now!

Milk: "Yep."

OJ: "We shall explore!"

Cory: Hm... I feel like there are more pizza creatures in this room...

"Well, let's just get to the top."

(They find themselves in a dimension(?) where the ground and walls are made of pizza, and the sky is an abstract purple pattern.)

OJ: "PIZZA WORLD." She acts silly as always.

Granny Pizza: Hello!
(Cory gets startled.)
Cory: AH-

OJ instinctively ran to dropkick it.

Granny Pizza: WAIT WAIT WAIT-

She stopped running. "What? Your excuse for scaring my husband better be good!"

Granny Pizza: I didn't mean to! I was going to give you advice! You're gonna need it if you plan on climbing this tower!

"Oh. Go on."

(Granny Pizza looks at Cory.)
Granny Pizza: Well, first off, you're gonna need a bite of the tower's special pizza! One bite will give you special abilities!

"Where is the special pizza?"

Cory: Should I try?

OJ smiled. "Oooo, yeah!"

(Cory hesitantly walks to the stone and puts his hand around the handle of the sword.)

Milk watched, OJ watched with excitement.

(He closes his eyes, and yanks it out.)

OJ gasped.

Cory: I... I did it!

OJ: "I knew my husband was worthy."

Milk: "Cool, you're the King of England now, I think."

(A bolt of lightning comes down and strikes the sword, giving Cory knight armor. ...It's too big to fit him.)

OJ: "Oh, uh...I think it's....a little to big."

(He slams into a wall, cracking it.)

"Oh-x

(The armor cracks and shatters.)

"Cory! You okay?"

Cory: I'm fine! I can actually move now!

"Good!"

(The cracked wall shatters, revealing an Eye Of Secrecy.)

"Uh-"

(Cory looks mesmerized.)
Cory: Oooo... I wanna touch it...

"O-Okay..." OJ looked worried.

(She leads the three to a room containing a large, living pillar.)
Granny Pizza: This... is Pillar John.
(A sudden uneasy feeling washes over the three.)

"Huh."

Granny Pizza: One of these rests at the end of every level. When you find one, there's only one thing to do.

"Destroy it?"

(Granny Pizza nods. Somehow.)

"Cool!"

(Cory Mach Dashes at Pillar John. Everything starts shaking, and alarm sirens start to sound.)

"Hm?"

(The fallen pillar disintegrates.)
Granny Pizza: GET OUT NOW!!
(A distant escape door appears. https://youtu.be/B7gGacb8cO4 starts to kick in.)

She and Milk sprinted out.

Cory: I'M SO FAST! :D

Milk went fast "ah."

Cory: HAHAH-

OJ stopped, giggling.

(Cory hits a wall. Again.)
Granny Pizza: Careful, now!

OJ ran over to check on Cory.

Cory: Hehehe, I'm fine, I'm fine...

"Good."

Granny Pizza: Now, the Mach Dash isn't just fun, you can also use it to smash through obstacles!

"Oooooo!"

(He keeps on sliding. He starts getting close to an edge. Perhaps he should jump.)

"Jump-!"

(He does so.)

She sighed.

(He lands on a platform.)

"Go!"

(He hits a wall and it breaks, revealing another eye.)

"Ooh."

Cory: Maybe if we touch it, we'll go back?

"Sure!"

Gerome: Yep. That's me. The only janitor in this five-floor tower. Gerome.

"What level are we on again?",

Gerome: Floor 1, level 1. If you plan on reaching the top, you've got a lot to go through.

She sighed.

Gerome: Of course, I'd get John to help you. But...

"Anything if it means getting to the top, so we can save husband's pizza business."

Gerome: John isn't here anymore. Well, he's everywhere. But I don't know where the REAL John is.

"What."

Gerome: Look, it's hard to explain. I don't really know what happened either. Just continue your journey. I'll be in every level, come get me if you need me.

"Alright."

(Cory cracks his knuckles.)
Cory: Let's go.

oop

Sorry I was stalking Milk's comments again

She used magic, and her bones slowly healed themselves. "T-There."

Cory: You still sound hurt... are you alright?

"Yeah, I-I healed the wound, b-but the pain of it is gonna last a bit.."

(He kneels down and hugs her.)
Cory: OJ... from now on, I'm gonna do everything I can to protect you.

She blushed intensely. "Hehe, marrying you was the best decision I ever made."

(A Forknight tries to sneak attack OJ from behind with its giant fork, but Cory quickly punches it so hard it melts into the floor. Without turning around.)

Hers eyes widened. "I'm so in love with you.'

Cory: I'll never let you get hurt ever again.

She blushed intensely.

(Cory notices a sword in a stone.)
Cory: Ooo, I know that story!

"Ooo, think I'm worthy?"

Cory: Give it a shot!

She went over and tugged on it.

(It won't budge...)

"Aww.."

Cory: Hm... Milk, you try!

Milk went up and pulled.

(Again, it doesn't budge...)
Cory: Maybe it's just a prop.

Milk kicked it.

Cory: *huff* *puff* Ahem. Sorry.

"You're so hot right now."

Cory: I- um- let's just continue-

She smiled.

(He keeps walking forward.)

They followed.

(After some platforming shenanigans, he reaches Pillar John.)

"Ooo."

(There are a ton of warning signs around him, saying stuff like "DO NOT BREAK", "DANGER", "CAREFUL", etc.)

She ran into it.

(There's a sign, showing the tower divided into five floors. There's an arrow pointing at the bottom one. "YOU ARE HERE.")

"Wow."

Milk sighed. "Welp, let's go.'

(Ahead is a door drenched in cheese. The frame is made of crust.)

OJ licked the cheese out of curiosity.

(It tastes old...)

"Ew."

Cory: Let's just go in...

Milk: "alright."

(Cory hesitantly walks in.)

Milk and OJ followed.
