Arianna actually chuckled a bit as Popo told her she asked too many questions, and her expression turned from warm to one of genuine mirth.

"Do I? My apologies then, Popo, I just tend to be curious. I think I genuinely like you, though. Would you mind discussing more of your research with me? I should really be leaving soon, but it'd be nice to hear more about you, and you might even be able to help me with something."

Upon noticing the redhead's display, she chuckled again.

"And I think I like you too," she said, holding out a hand to the red-haired girl. "My name is Arianna. Would you be Popo's sister?"

Kahn 5,2,1=0 pt fails any training at all. :<

There seems to be something vaguely wrong with the atmosphere. Something's just wrong, but Kahn can't really place his finger on it. 6->5 Except suddenly he does. There seems to be minute growths of black on many of the bushes and plants, and on the walls of the house. They're mostly less than a foot high and a finger wide. They are also growing on the shoes of Arianna, Ire, Rod, and Azastre, as they have stayed still for a while.

Arianna is suplexed with a pole.

Ace surveys the area. There aren't any other people. 1,2,2 No progress is made in the department of revolver tricks. No-one's in immediate danger.

Suddenly, the red-haired girl suplexes Arianna with a pole. She is slammed hard on the ground inside the house.

Ire says hi.

3 The other girl glares at her.

3 The thing floating behind her seems to be round and twitchy. Maybe it's a chaser too.

Arianna says something, then the red-haired girl suplexes her with a pole.

Arianna

To Popo: 6->5 Dip + 5
"Uh... what does miss want to learn about, miss? Popo can tell her anything that she knows."

To other girl: 2 Dip + 1
The other girl glares at her hand suspiciously.

5 Arianna feels weird and looks down. A net of black licorice has sprouted from the ground and has covered her feet. She tries to lift them free, but it's stronger than it looks. 5 The other girl frowns, then (1) smacks Arianna hard in the gut with her pole (2) somehow makes it latch on to her (3) lifts her and spins her over and into the house very hard, like a suplex move but with a pole. Arianna is ripped out of the licorice net and smacks her head on the lintel, then her back on the floor and is knocked out of wind. The world spins before her.

5, 4= 9 damage taken.

Azastre 6->2 5 creates one -0/-40 bullet. It's a masterpiece, but it also feels very wrong. 1 Meanwhile, he notices nothing much wrong, except that the red-haired girl suddenly attacked and sorta suplexed Arianna with a pole.

Rod removes the black vial and shakes it around. 6->5 Hrm... it must be some sort of potion! 1 Rod notices that Arianna is attacked.

Jack whistles 3 4 and heads off to find a stream of chocolate, as there is bound to be.

4 He finds a stream, but it's decidedly a water-like water substance.

[Tiruin]

Ascertain the shape and color of the thing behind the red-haired girl.

"Why are you fighting each other again? We don't mean anyone harm."

Perturbed by the event, Ire tries to step out of the house and then examine the landscape.

"And...why is this whole place made of confectionery sweets?"

Remember the taste of that white chocolate.

Poke that Orange Chaser behind me.

Ironically, she has never taken a life nor stolen without repaying back, in anyway whatsoever.

Due to all this, she is partly allergic to rope.

Leaning towards Sir Kahn, she spoke. "This place is weird. The floor is filled with white chocolate and such, and under it lies something like brownies...reminds me of soil and such, but I hate brownies."

Rod laughs at the sight, shouting out "Nice shot!" to the little girls with delicious magic. "Any chance of you joining up with us?" He then tries to figure out what the potion in the black vial does, without testing it on himself.

Azastre mopes even more at such a defeat. He then looks at Zalgo and scratches his own chin before noticing Arianna was suplexed. He cringes a little in sympathy and starts to run off to help her.

Azastre tries to help Arianna to her feet.

If she happens to be ok and/or dismisses him, then he tries to use the amount of powder inside the 0/-40 bullets (which must be equivalent to two normal bullets) to try and create new bullets with his remainders of marble.

Arianna is suplexed with a pole.

((This was my introduction to this turn. Nice to get advance warning about how this is going down. ))


Arianna blinked and groaned for a moment. Her hand flexed at her sword before she realized the red-haired girl might have been saving her from the licorice. Maybe.

Instead, she tried to clear her vision and look at the two girls. This place was clearly not what it seemed, which was to say it was exactly what it seemed, but that didn't mean they still couldn't be friends.

She just had to avoid the oven.


Staying on the floor, she propped herself up a bit, looking at the two of them.

"What was that?" she asked, cross but not necessarily angry, and not necessarily at them. She decided she should be ready to move just in case, however.

More diplomacy! Watch for further attacks, avoid if present.

((Does nobody else realize how awesome this is? Licorice magic. Licorice magic. That's it, a little girl has licorice manipulation magic. Nothing any magic user ever does in the future will compare to that. Congrats, Skyrunner, you just made magical R&D obsolete. The only thing that could equal this would be a Gundam made from some sort of hyper-advanced toffee.))

[Spinal_Taper]

A smirk spread across Aces face as he saw Arianna being suplexed by the redhead. Watching people who weren't too fond of him be tossed around was suprisingly enjoyable for him. He contemplated helping her for a moment before shrugging. Maybe if it escalated. Besides, it looked like they were talking.

_{^{Did everyone post? I think everyone posted. But I'm not sure, but I'm also lazy to count, so I'm going ahead anyways. I see we're missing Jack. Ah, we're missing SerCon too.}}
Ire 6->6->1 Ire focuses!

She sees two of those floating things now. One is an orange disc with a star, and the other is a black orb with even blacker flames wreathing it. It looks quite sinister. Ire is sure that it wasn't there a moment ago...

Q: Why do you fight? 2 +1 to Dip
Ire is ignored.

Q: Why's the whole place made of sweets? 6->3 +3 to Dip.
"I like sweets. Doesn't miss like sweets too? :<"

Ire 5 perfectly recalls the taste of the white chocolate.
...why?

4 Ire pokes her orange star chaser. It is poked. Hard to the touch, but it yields under her finger. It snaps back to its original shape after being poked.

Rod
4
"We-ell... Popo and Gretel were planning on moving sometime soon, because there's something evil around here. It's growing on everything, and Popo thinks it'll enter the r state of growth within a day."

5 Rod discerns that the potion will boost the physical abilities of women if imbibed.

Azastre 2 is prevented from entering by the black licorice growing on his shoes. It doesn't budge, and slowly creeps up to his ankle. Quite strong.

2 Apparently the new bullet only has gunpowder worth of one bullet.

Arianna

Q: What was that? 5 +3 Dip
"You could try to express more gratitude, you know, when someone you barely know saves you from being metabolized to death."

The girl, Gretel, apparently, twirls her rod half a revolution, then says,

"Would you like to inspect the interior of our oven?"

"Don't be like that, Gretel, it's not nice ..." says Popo timidly, and Gretel snorts.

Ace practices aiming. 4,3,6->4=90 pt to Aiming.

6->5 With a start, Ace realizes that licorice is clinging to his shoes.

Kahn
4 hacks at his boots/greaves/whatever he is wearing and sets them free.


Zalgo groans a bit more.

Robot seems to be licorice-free.

Sandra tries hacking at her licorice-wrapped boots, and 2 narrowly misses cutting her shoe off.

Azastre tries to free himself and Sandra, and asks the robot to help both of them in their efforts.
