Kahn picked up the rock and looked at it to see if it had any special properties, then pocketed it if it seemed safe and tried to make his way back to the house.

[Caellath]

Azastre blushes a little and starts to fidget from staring too much and too hard at Popo before analyzing his bullet. It still seems a bit not-too-good. Time to fix it and go back to watching Popo.

Azastre tries to fix the +5/-40 bullet by rebuilding it and adding more marble or silver if there is no more marble.

He then keeps staring at Popo's face.

((Daw, they'd make such a cute blue-haired couple. ))

[Spinal_Taper]

((Shipping now, huh? Also, you could use that bullet as a miracle healing device, so I wouldn't mess with it.))

[IronyOwl]

((Speaking of which, how do +x/+y/+z bullets work? I seem to remember them being "dual-stage" or similar but that doesn't answer anything. :x))

[Flying Dice]

Diplomacy gogogo! "Okay, I'm an oxymoron: an intelligent barbarian. Say your piece, and I'll listen. But first explain what you're doing with that black licorice magic."

Rod prepares to defend himself if the witch attacks.

If she can recover from getting her head cut off, no way am I fucking with her without support. Hurry up, companions mine!

Hells, maybe I've even managed to find the one person on this tower who isn't lying or speaking in half-truths.

((Ace can walk around and point his projectile weapon at things and gain Aiming experience?! :O
Why can't I point my spear at things and gain Spear usage?! 

Also, Nobody ever listens to Ire and her knowledge of what may have happened with dem dragonoids and the Tower (Ironiiiieeee!! >_<).  Witch can't say his name right even though the phonetics have no difference...

You people~))

"Hey Gretel, I'll stay with you two just in case my companions encounter any trouble, yes?"

Poke that Orange Star Chaser again!

"How does one train spellcasting anyway? Repeated usage of spells, or trying to delve into the deeper knowledge of such?...

Hey Popo, do you have any knowledge of Field Healing spells? I'd like to try to improve it. Also, where did you two come from before you both started living here? How long have you been living here?"

Ire looked around for a calendar, but in the midst of weak acid rain and nice colorful bottles of potions, she didn't seem to find any calendar.

Ask the nice ladies. And either Train Field Healing//Spear Usage.

Ace 2 bumbles around a bit and finds himself at the staircase he came up.

Jack 5 4 finds the staircase in the sky and heads there.

The base of the staircase is arrived at. It is made of actual gems and rock, not candy fakes.

Arianna 2 The witch blows a tuft of her hair away in frustration, revealing a face that could have been pretty if not for the large nose.

"Dangit, can't you see what's at the problem here? This is disproportional retribution here! And it's Backal, not Bakal, you blonde-haired idiot! Don't you know who Backal is? He's that near-omnipotent being that decided to wrest Sky Tower from another group of near-omnipotent beings, and severed the Tower into two! It's very important to know which floors are supported by whom. Who knows what evil lies in the brains of men, especially men with an ego larger than their heads? I bet those girls are brainwashed pawns who were coerced into serving his group for their nefarious purposes!"

Kahn activates genre-savvy and and inspects the rock 1 which seems to be a rock so plain that it couldn't have been more obvious if a sign attached to the rock read, "I'M A M———— KICKASS ROCK, SO RESPECT ME BRO!".

It seems to be a sort of limestone.

Kahn 3 wanders around a bit and finds the house's backdoor, which stands there by itself with no frame or wall around it. Just the backdoor.

Azastre's robot Robot has lots of marble on its hands, so he uses more marble.

2 The bullet becomes a +8/-40 bullet that is too heavy to fly far.

3 Azastre stares at Popo, and she stares back. She smiles a bit.

Rod 4 +6 Diplomacy
convinces the witch to stop casting the licorice hex, and she moves her hands to a visible place and does nothing. The pot of licorice vines stops writhing.

He listens to the witch's tirade at Arianna.

Ire 3 receives a curt nod from Gretel.

She pokes the orange star chaser. It pokes back.

"Popo experiments and experiments until just the right mix is achieved," says she, breaking off the stare-fest between her and Azastre for a moment. "I think Gretel contemplates on what fire is for her exploding fire pillar spells, but Popo doesn't understand that."

6->2
"Popo doesn't understand what field healing spells are or what they do, but she knows that a certain pendant made of certain gems in a specific arrangement can double or triple the effect. Popo has heard that the components are RGB-slash-BW, but that's all."

"Popo and I came from a place called Terra. It used to be a lush, vibrant place, with much more advanced technology and magic than this world. Then a number of people came along and broke Terra into a large number of glowing pieces of rock. I believe one of them was Backal, and a few other names I have heard are Hilda and Cain. I think we've been here for a month, now."

Ire notices the rain has cleared up.

6->2,4,1= 30 pt to Spear.

[Flying Dice]

Rod continues to question the witch.
"So then, assuming that that is true... what can we do about it? Who is Backal, and who are his enemies? For that matter, do you know of a way to break mental conditioning if those children were brainwashed? Because it just doesn't feel right to walk away from kids in trouble, unless they're Azastre."

Also, dat rock.  ))

"Hey, I've heard about Backlal before! From a dragonoid friend some floors below us.

"On that note, could you tell me more about those other two names you said? Hilda and Cain? I always loved stories."

Ask!

Also, there are mashmellow clouds.  ))
