"So, what do you two intend to do once you find a suitable home? Simply continue your magical research? What about you, Gretel?"

Attempt to harvest strong material candy from somewhere, then catch up with the girls and ascend. Chat with them while we do.

Azastre

Spoiler: Not canon nor cannon (click to show/hide)

Azastre heads upstairs.

4 He tinkers with a marble and a silver knife. He creates a 1,6->4,5 stick with a knife on the end. It is a +5 Marble Silver Knife Polearm, but it is too heavy to use on foot. Wan wan wan.

Rod suspiciously avoids the metal grates.

He nibbles on a cham,  given to him by a flagged-down waiter. 1 His nibble accidentally was executed as a chomp, and he swallows before he notices. It... it tastes very good. Excellent. The white part is crisp and cool, and the strange mushy seed-filled inner is sweet.

Spoiler: Dis is cham (click to show/hide)

He feels like he wants to eat more.


Ire

"She is one of the musicians in that orchestra, but she is not playing right now. She and her six friends decided to stop here and create a place to rest from the cruel Tower. As an interesting note, people who attempt to ascend from the ground floor at different times go on different paths."

Ire examines the garden. There are generic green plants everywhere in the brick raised areas, and a few short trees, including pine with twisted bark, and flowers. The tables seem to be mismatched, as some are heavy wood, others spindly metal with a glass top, and a few made of silver.

The orchestra playing is a full collection, with many violins, cellos, violas, a piano, a harp, a person with all the percussion instruments, brass instruments, and woodwinds.

There are waiters wandering around, providing food, drink, and the fruit mentioned earlier. Many of the people are in light conversation, weapons stowed or abandoned, and some are staring into the distance.

There is a spiraling staircase that leads up behind the orchestra. Its architectural style is consistent with the other staircases she saw til now.


Ace 2 strides in. Thankfully, the butlers do not seem to have orders to bounce anyone.

He heads up to the woman and 6->1 kicks her in the shin. She turns around sharply.

It is Sandra, but not as Ace had seen her just before. She has let her hair down to its full wavy length, and a fork is halfway to her mouth. Right now, the fork also happens to be in the wrong position to eat and in the right position to stab an ill-intending gentleman such as Ace.

She relaxes and goes back to her meal.

Kahn glances at his spear. The blood is still dripping off it. Weird.


Arianna finds no strong candy at all.

She chats.

"Make another house! And do more stuff."

"Kill people who ask too many questions."

Both reply lightly.

"Hey! You look great! Is this seat taken?"
Ace sits next to Sandra and begins chatting her up. Specifically, how is she, what's she been up to, and why'd she leave. Avoid crying while asking them  , however strong the urge may be.

Rod strongly resists the urge to eat any more cham--more of anything in the area. He searches for a place where he can train his two-handed sword skills and does so.

Addictive? Probably, and judging by some of the people here, it might be mentally dulling as well.

Ire pointed at the staircase.

"We've found a place of reprieve, and your spear is still dripping blood. I'm unsure as to whether Azastre still has your Zalgo with him, but do you think we should ascend as soon as possible? Or should we have a bit of fun here first?"

Explore this place.
Nope. Look below for action.

Spoiler: Non-canon (click to show/hide)

Azastre stares at the polearm with a confused look. Maybe if he tried making it lighter...

Azastre keeps following Popo, Gretel and Arianna.

He also tries to make the +5 Marble Silver Knife Polearm lighter.

"I don't mind taking a break to catch my breath," Kahn said, cleaning off his spear on the grass. "We've already climbed up at least ten floors already, and the tower isn't going anywhere. What do you want to do?" he asked, willing to follow along with whatever it was.

Ire noticed that she was holding onto something and let go of it.

Sir Kahn's hand left a lasting warmth on hers as she mused on what they could be doing at a time like this.

"Sample the food?"

If Kahn accepts, order the...normal course and ask first for the payment options, if any are needed. Find a table and sit...with him if he accepts.

Kahn didn't realize she had been holding his hand until she released it and he suddenly missed the feeling. He looked at his empty hand ruefully. "Of course, lady Ire." Something else occurred to him as he stroked his mustaches. "I'm sorry; I don't believe I've properly introduced myself to you, have I? My name's Trevor Kahn." He chuckled to himself. "Grandfather wasn't too happy with Mum marrying a foreigner..."

"Greetings once more, Sire Kahn."

Ire smiled and bowed to the knight once more, introducing herself yet again to the man who protected her in the ~12 floors below.

"I'll get us a table then."

Ace chats.

Sandra doesn't really respond to most of his questions, looking spaced out and nibbling on the piece of white fruit she's eating.

1 Despite being a BIG MAN, Ace can't help tearing up at Sandra's total ignoring of him. A waiter approaches and asks if Ace would like some food.


Rod 6->2 But..but it's so tasty! D: Just one... more... piece ...

Rod stuffs a whole fruit into his mouth, then goes off to train two-handed sword skills.

4,6->4,5 Maybe the waiter guys weren't lying nor fibbing? He feels really great, and gains 100 pt in Two Handed Swords. Sadly, already having 90 points, he loses the other 90 and gains THS 2.


Azastre 5 does a very good job at not getting lost. He is now in the garden area. He sees what everyone else saw :D (no this is not the narrator getting lazy)

A bunch of waiters and waitresses are wandering 'round, taking orders and doing what waiter-y people do. Aside from the orchestra, six people with various instruments and one without a weapon are standing around, looking preoccupied and also important.

Popo wanders off to inspect the cham fruit, and Gretel glares at the nearest waiter, who quickly notices a closed menu on the other side of the chamber and hurries off.

2 He tinkers with le polearm. It seems heavier somehow, now. Maybe it spontaneously oxidized?


Arianna 5,4,2 = 30 pt to swords.

Silly Arianna, she's already on F14! :D


Jack assesses the situation. There are people of the serving occupation who are doing their stuff. Other people of indiscernible callings are sitting around chatting or staring off into space. His rather destructive and kleptomaniatic friends are wandering off or training. He notices the one with the codpiece stuffing a cham or two into his mouth, then proceeding to display the best swordwork he ever saw this year.

4 Soul pancakes. Hrm. Jack supposes they would be rather nebulous in taste, but beneficial to the damnnation of the soul thereof which partook in the consumption of it. He also thinks smacking a soul pancake into the face of someone would be a good way to distract them.


Kahn & Ire :
Ire picks up the leather-bound menu with gilt corners. There are a variety of foods listed in there. A waitress, wearing simple black pants, a white blouse, and a black vest trots over and suggests eating the fruit that grows only on this floor. It's a good appetizer, sweet, crisp, and cool. No payment is required for any of the menus.

Azastre stares at the floor with strange fruits and strange people, as well as a strange atmosphere. He sighs and looks behind him, to check something.

Azastre takes a look to check where the robot is then tries again to make the +5 Marble Silver Knife Polearm lighter. D:

"Eh, might not be so bad after all."

Rod eats another one and thinks really hard, trying to cure his ignorance disability.
