After several days of travel, Nilo learned many new things. The most valuable lesson she learned is that eating while flying helped cover a lot more ground than stopping at every single stomach rumble. Of course the time saved was rather abysmal for the starry-eyed Majin. Prone to daydreaming and saving every woodland creature with little thought about the circle of life was still a major time consumer. Speaking of consume, Nilo decided her mid flight would be two heaping handfuls of blackberries she found in her journeys. She stuffed her cheeks to near capacity, her train of thought completely drifted away from the landscape.
“Don’t know why Mama said this is a small world. This place is huge!”
Huge, Nilo wondered why the word had so much significance all of a sudden. Words like huge, gigantic, monolithic, especially towering. Why did towering stand out the most of all? Then it hit her. Not the word, the tower she wasn’t paying attention to. She just headbutted a tower, luckily she was going at a lazy ambling pace and not full speed. It still smarted pretty bad. She lowered to the ground to look at just what she ran into. Thin and white and reaching beyond the clouds. Did she just discover a new type of tree? No it looked like stone. She swallowed down her mouthful and pressed her tongue to the building. Yep stone
“Why would someone build such a thing? Does someone live up there?”
Her random musings about the tower continued. Can she fly to the top? What’s up there? Who is up there? Are they nice? Can they cook?

*Heavy Weights On* (Whoops Forgot this.) PL 53,769 Far, far up in the sky, nearly in orbit, the floating lookout of Kami sat, suspended in midair. From the edge, not that anyone earthbound could see it, a shape tipped backwards. In freefall, the dark mass tumbled downward, picking up speed as it fell at a breakneck pace. The wind whipped at the cloth around his wooden form, and the sword on his back rattled like a ball bearing in a blender as G-forces pummeled his body. The ground was just a blurry mass, but the Bio-Android did not falter. Plummeting down, he pressed his arms to his sides like a diver, and began to gather Ki, preparing for the eventual reaching of the ground. He had hit maximum velocity a while back, but it didn't really matter too much. As he hit the hundred meter mark, his Ki exploded, and Walker brought himself to a screeching halt, sending his Ki out like an air-brake. With a crash, the sudden displacement of momentum sent a ripple of wind out in every direction, the air shuddering under his sudden ceasing of movement. Looking down, the tree found himself about 20 meters above the ground. "Hmmm. Less than optimal, but the percentage of error is decreasing at a pleasing rate."
Turning about, a strange, violet creature caught his eye. It appeared to be.. licking Korin Tower. Well, this was not the strangest thing he had ever seen, but it was certainly quite odd. Floating over, he settled down a few meters away, bowing slightly. "Hello there. Welcome to Korin Tower, and by extension, the Lookout of Kami. Who might you be, Ms. Majin?" After the run-in with Komoto, he had read up on Earth's other race.

Is it a mystical castle she heard about in her stories? What is that?! Her Ki sense suddenly kicked in to detect a power much greater than her own. It was approaching fast. In fact, it seemed to pick up speed, like it was in free fall. She whirled about to see a being nearly nine feet tall. Literally almost twice her size. While most might wonder just what materialized in front, possibly even run off screaming like a bloody idiot. Nilo did just the opposite.
Brightly beaming, she turned to the stranger. And enthusiastic wave followed by her trying to emulate the bowing motion.Then the flood gates broke open?
"Hi I'm Nilo! I never seen something like you before. I didn't know trees talked. What forest did you come from? Korin tower? Who is Korin? Are they nice? And what about this look out? What are they looking out for? Is there a giant castle up there? Are you a knight?"
The questions spilled rapidly from her mouth. Each one coming before the stranger could even muster a syllable to answer the last.Realizing this she suddenly clapped her hands over her mouth.
"Mama said I talk too fast sometimes. Am I talking too fast. Sorry if I am talking too fast."

Waiting silently, the tree did not respond until the small goo ball had ceased it's chatter. Raising a finger, he inhaled briefly, then said, rapid-fire, "I am a Bio-Android, made from a tree, I came from "STEM" Forest, I don't know who Korin was, but I imagine they were a great warrior, The Lookout is Looking Out for planet Earth, with Sir Scargot, the Guardian, and if anything, I would be a knight of Avalon." He deflated slightly, tilting his head to one side. "But no, I'm not really a knight, per say. A... Hunter, would be a better term, I think."
Sitting down with a slight crash, he gestured upward. "The tower you see is the traditional way to get to the Lookout for the first time. It takes a long time to climb, very long, but it's rather worth it, I think. You get stronger while doing so." Glancing down at his arms, he flexed it for a moment, chuckling. "Then again, at this point, I am stronger than 10,000 normal humans put together, so I suspect climbing it again would do me little good. I merely fly up, at this point."
Turning to the Majin, he cocked his head. "So, what are you here for? I take it that you are a wanderer, like myself? Well." He scratched the back of his head, looking reflective. "I suppose I am also a student of Kami, but I have no permanent "Home" to speak of." He did stay at the Lookout, and Avalon, but he owned very few things, and this made any sense of permanency rather fleeting. He was quite fond of the two places, however.

10,000 normal humans?She actually never tested the strength of a normal human, but that sounded like a hyperbolic amount of strength. But, he was huge, maybe that's why he was so strong. Of course, all this talk of strength took her back, it was something her brother talked about a lot.With that mental connection established she felt inclined to ask.
"So are you a martial artist?" Her face lit up slightly. She had no interest in all the fighting they did. The legendary growth beyond their body's normal capabilities has always intrigued her. Could she possibly do the same taking a less violent path.
"I grew up on a farm. My brother left years ago, he wanted to train for something called a tournament. He said there were lots of great teachers in the world. I left because I just wanted to see everything. I don't fight though. I do rescue bunnies from those big, mean kitty cats though. And I healed some things"
Her head did crane upward toward the sky. The tower reached high beyond the clouds. And people climbed beyond the tower? That would take a long time. How long did it take to build it? Did they get even stronger?

The tree was unsure how to respond to this. Unlike Booberry or Komoto, this Majin came off as a large, squish-able child. To be fair, Komoto came across as squishable too, but in much the same manner as an irritating mosquito. Cracking his neck a bit, the tree thought about the question for a moment. "I suppose I am a martial artist, yes. I'm learning under Kami, though much of my fighting experience is self-taught, so to speak." Fighting basically anyone willing, or anyone that needed fighting, counted as self taught. Probably.
The spiel about her brother was a bit rambling, but there was some point of interest in there. "Wait, you healed some things? Are you a healer?" The idea was quite intriguing. Walker had been trying to find a way to heal others, perhaps utilizing his cell's tendency to regenerate, or the Namekian DNA. Supposedly, some of that race had healing abilities. However, the best he had been able to do thus far was grow plants. It probably had something to do with the fact that he was not a part of the animal kingdom.
"How exactly do you heal people? I may be a fighter, but I don't want to hurt people. Sometimes, though... people need to be forced to stop what they're doing." Anger sparked in his eyes, quite literally as his memories of the bombing caused him to let loose a small snap of Ki. "If I can, I want to be able to help, not just hurt. As it stands, though, the most I can do is this." Placing his hands on the ground, he concentrated, and from the earth, flowers and grass began to rise taller, as if awaking under the sunlight.

Nilo scratched her chin in thought momentarily. Slight color rose to her cheeks. Did she word it wrong? Yes, she does heal things, but she has no clue what her magic's actual capabilities are. She certainly didn't want to sound like she was bragging.
"Well...I never healed anything too bad. But Like I heard others of my kind can use their antennae to turn things into food. I kinda made food appear out of nowhere and it made scrapes and bruises go away. Also it can just be a pink swirly beam. But I like to give hurt things treats"
"I want to learn more about the non magicy ways. Because I can't use heal magic all the time." Of course the fact that she was wondering about aimlessly could mean she was trying to find one of those "Great teachers" along with all the sight seeing. But it's obvious she was in no hurry either
"Oh! Are you doing that?"She suddenly squealed as she saw the flowers and grass gain height. She held back the urge to skip through the flora and possibly pick a few. It would probably be rude to do so while he's in the midst of using an ability

Walker scratched his chin, sitting in the middle of the rapidly expanding patch of wild, untamed plant life. He would have suggested that she visit Kami, but Scargot seemed quite busy at the moment. The current bursts of chaos had likely resulted in issues at the Underworld, and the god of earth was frequently away from the Lookout. Still, there was a secondary option. Pointing off to the west, he cocked his head. "If you're looking for teachers, there's a place that might interest you. Kami's adopted daughter is the center of a rapidly growing new city, soon to be in the clouds, which will host masters, teachers, and people from many different places."
He tapped the blade on his back, letting it clink briefly, and smiled. "I am one of the Knights, who protects what is supposed to be a place of peace. That's just a name, though. As I said, Hunter, or Warden might be more appropriate." Pointing straight up, he indicated the sky, and far, far above, the distant lookout, invisible to the ground. "Kami lives on the lookout most of the time, but he's not really available to teach frequently." Standing up, he gestured at the ground again. "I live on Avalon most of the time, and help grow the gardens and such there. If you're looking for a peaceful place, that would be it. Or are you looking for your brother?"
Now that he thought about it, he had encountered a few Majins. However, all the male Majins he encountered had been terrible people. He really hoped that it was not Booberry or Komoto, or this would get very awkward, very fast. Still, the both of them had been different colors than this goo-girl was, and she seemed quite different in attitude. It made him a little uneasy, especially given how silent Cernunnos had been recently, but it seemed unlikely she was some kind of spy for his demonic dna donor.
(Sorry it's kinda short)

Nilo looked off to the direction where the tree being pointed. She raised her own hand to point to the current position of the sun. Her finger then slowly moved to the western direction. The motion seemed surely for her own sake, since she did it multiple times without saying anything to Walker. Her eyes traveled upward in thought as if she were trying to access something she learned but couldn't draw up in the blink of an eye. She clapped her hands. She got it! "West! Where the sun goes when it gets dark, right?" Ok, so maybe she still had trouble with the cardinal directions. Something one should get a handle on before actually doing any questing. "Well if he guards the earth, he HAS to be busy. Mama kept saying this place is small. But it just gets bigger everyday for me. So...that's a lot to guard. Oh I know! I'll come back when I know more and can help him!" She clapped her hands again. A look of determination crossing her features that was uncharacteristic when someone is talking about helping someone they never met. "And if this place has a lot of teachers my brother might be there too!" Without any further questions, it seemed she had set a new goal on her aimless journey. Maybe she was just looking for an excuse to go on an adventure. Maybe she was just the type to give 100% into any venture that even mildly interests her. (No worries. To my character that was so far the most important post. )

Chuckling, Walker gave off a pleased grin. The small Majin was almost infectiously cheerful. "That sounds like a plan. Avalon is a peaceful place, but obviously, peace must be defended. In addition, the island is very close to the Western Capitol. If your brother is a martial artist, he will likely visit the Tenkaichi Budokai grounds, which is not far away." If he was honest, he assumed Rei and Kaula would enjoy a new friend. Or... No, what was the term people were saying? "Well, if you want to come, Rei and Kaula might like a new part of their Harem. Apparently that means very good friend. Perhaps it's Namekian?"
Rei was Scargot's adoptive daughter. It would make sense that she would use some Namekian terms. Stretching, Walker rose upwards, gesturing for the Majin to follow. "I'll lead you to Avalon, if you want to go. It's not far from West Capitol, but it's a bit of a flight." Walker was unsure if the girl would come or not, but having a healer could be potentially useful. She also seemed like the type that wouldn't be willing to fight, and there were plenty of groups that would gladly deceive her to recruit a new medic. Red Eclipse, the Solar Empire... While it was certainly her choice, the tree hoped she would decide to follow along.

Nilo paused; a perplexed look crossed her features at two words she had never heard before. "Harem" and "Namekian"She took a few seconds to collect her thoughts as to what those two words might mean. Namekian seemed to be a language but harem was completely lost to him. Maybe those new friends can tell her! And maybe they could use Namekian to make up their own code speak. She heard really good friends do that. The code seemed to be a deal maker, for a deal that has yet to be offered. She rose into the air soon after Walker.
"I want to make friends! And this place sounds like a lot of fun. Not like that other city I went to where everyone was rushing to this work place. It didn't even have a farm" Of course , all the talking might make the flight a little bit longer for the tree man, because it seemed certain she would ramble the entire time.
