Arianna raised an eyebrow.

"If the girls serve Backal, who do you serve?"

Upon receiving her answer, she gave a simple "I'll be back" and returned to the house.

"Popo, Gretel," she said on arriving, "I've spoken with the witch. She says you're minions of Backal. Is that true?

She also claims she never intended to eat you, and that you broke out by what sounded like using those potions and beating her with her own broomstick. Is the latter part true? How did you know she was going to eat you?"

Ire perked up at the name of Backal and was glad to see her fellow companion back. Where did Ari hear that?

"Hiya Ari! Welcome back!

"You actually found that witch? These girls are here because of Backal...well, because he destroyed their world and such, forgot to ask them how they got here..."

[Caellath]

Azastre gets a little self-conscious while staring at Popo and decides to quit after his face acquires a beet-red color when she smiles back at him. He crouches down and looks away for a bit while fidgeting before realizing he should be doing something useful. Still with a burning face, he goes back to examining the bullet.

Azastre tries to break down the bullet into its original components. And rebuild it. Better, and able to be shot again.

Rod questions.

"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."

3

"You should obviously go and arrest them from their homes and send them off somewhere. I won't mind if you give them to me. I'll show them what a prepared witch can do, hehehe."

1

"Well... I suppose you could break them again."

Ire

"Rather obviously, dragonoids don't like Backal at all. And it's Backal, not Backlal. Since Backal stole the Tower from the Progenitors, who are the progenitors of the dragon people."

"Hilda... I don't know much about her, but I think she's the lover of Cain. Some of Popo's magic textbooks claim Hilda was the one who created the magic Popo and I use, but it's doubtful. Cain seems to have no abilities at all other than his body and his determination..."

Arianna

The witch raises her chin proudly and says, "I serve myself, of course. Who would one serve other than oneself?"

Arianna sticks out a thumb and says I'll be back like the terminator movie

Arianna heads off towards the two sisters' house, where Ire is talking with Gretel, and Popo staring at Azastre.

Q: Who do you serve?
1
"Minions? Popo never saw Backal ever, miss," Popo says innocently, while still looking at Azastre.

Q: Witch claims she never was going to eat them 1
"Yes, and the cat will do nothing but guard the fish," says Gretel heatedly.

Q: Broke out ... with broomstick
"Yup. Beat her with her own broomstick, because handing a long spear-like item to me was the best thing to do."

Q: How know she eat you 4
""Old witches who live in candy houses eat children, miss. Tis a well-proven fact. Popo's voice is quite serious.


Azastre 3 breaks his bullet into some marble, some silver, and powder enough for... one bullet.

He 4,2,2 makes a single-stage +2 bullet of marble and silver!

+12 cumulative ammocraft xp from last turns!
Ace 2 finds Gretel and Popo's house.

1 The floor is very... uh.. .floor-y and chocolate-y.


Jack 1,3,2 makes a excellent strip of leather with clasps that could serve as a gag.


Kahn 5,1,3 makes a +1 Wooden Roundshield. It might break after being hit with extreme force.

Azastre smiles, a bit relieved. His bullet-crafting attempts finally working again, the boy's face shows glee once more. As he turns back, he immediately realizes Popo is staring at him and a pink tinge starts to creep up his face as he offer her a smile back. Still kneeling on the floor due to the position taken on his latest bout of handiwork, he tugs on his own light blue hair while shooting occasional glances at Popo, blushing slightly.

Azastre tries to...hmm...examine if the handful of gems can be turned into powder for bullets and if it happens to be possible do so.

Arianna rubbed her chin, a slight smirk on her face from seeing Popo looking at Azastre.

"Are you sure you aren't jumping to conclusions about that? Cats are well known for eating mice, but some of them don't regardless.

Also," she continued, smiling a bit and talking much quieter, "Why do you keep looking at him?


Oh, and one more thing. You said you were planning on leaving soon because of the witch, but would like us to deal with her instead? Where were you planning to go, and wouldn't it be easier to just do so rather than stay here?"
