Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap
night fell upon the city , the rain in its wake , the streets where empty with all but a little one armed girl, forced into this world running from a monster who was made of metal and fire. she was alone , the world above she didnt have anyone to trust , people here where weird in everything , a lot of long stuff and goggle with all sorts of stuff that looked it never touched the delivery stream before.
as she made her way she started to hear music , she could not help herself as she ran to see where it was coming from , a place with light and bright things , she didnt know what it was but it was alive with people , ques out the door even in the rain , she want to see whats inside but there were big man at the door , man with big knifes . she had to get in , she made her way around the building until she found a small window which she tried to looked inside , there she saw a huge room with people sitting in rows , watching people dancing and singing , in colour and lights , so much excitement she could help herself as she wanted to get closer to see , she started to look for an entrance in that had no big men with sharp knifes and hopefully see this place of amazement.
as she looked she song along with the song in her angle voice as she searched for her way in to the most greatest place of all time she has ever seen.

Edelweiss was walking distractedly towards home after finishing her day work hours, a scarf wrapped across her neck and an umbrella shielding her head. If it wasn't for the singing voice, she might have not even spotted the little girl humming in front of a bar's window, wearing dirty rags and completely drenched. Well, it was not like a parentless kid from the slums roaming around and windowshopping the food or cheap places was really a scene unheard of in Lodan. But more often than not, those kids at least had the common sense of shielding themselves from the rain and trying to stay warm, and potential thieves had always that sneaky hint in their eyes and maybe a hidden knife in their clothes, none of which applied to that girl. "Hey, aren't you cold?" That seemed like an obvious question, and Eldelweiss asked it with a sigh, her voice mixing curiosity and a bit of frustration. The girl had a nice voice; if anything, being leader of CAEsAL, the redhead could get her a quick job singing somewhere to at least warrant a meal and a bath, but that didn't change the fact that specific stabilishment was not a place for children.
"Hey, aren't you cold?" Eryn stopped as fear started to come over as she quickly turned to the voice , a person hard to tell if it was a man or woman was stood there holding what looked like a spike that was used for hunting rope around her neck , seeing this Eryn did the one thing she could do , RUN! .
she quickly Ran as fast as she could , without her own weapon she lost by the metal monster when someone used her wooden arm was gone , she didn't have any way to defend herself , she ran around the building as fast as she can until she saw a way into the building , an entrance into an underground part of the place and it was open and unguarded with only barrels next to it . she darted down the steps and into the basement unaware of what could be down there. all the armless girl could do was hope there was a way up into the place of magic and amazement . (ok so to explain something , Eryn's knowllage is limited to what she knows since she used to live under Lodan items like an umbrella is considered a spike , which was a weapon)

That surely was a strange girl. Yes, some stray kids were wary of people they didn't know thanks to their own bad past experiences, but she wasn't even close enough to the girl to do anything to her and both of her hands were busy - one holding the umbrella, the other keeping the scarf in place - so it was not like Edelweiss would suddenly pull out a firegun and shoot her either. And she just asked if she was feeling cold. Well, with the noise the kid was making and considering the way she had just trespassed into a comercial stabilishment's restricted area, it would be just a matter of minutes before the bar's workers found and chased her out - probably with real chef knives. No, they probably wouldn't be stupid enough to kill some tiny child who sneaked in (even to the heartless ones it would still be bad for business), but nothing was keeping them from giving her a scare big enough to never come back.
So all Edelweiss had to do was wait outside till the kid shows up again.

as Eryn went deeper into the place her eyes adjusted fast to the dark due being from under Lodan's sewers as she slowly made her way through the barrels she spotted something , a clothing manikin with arms, she want up to it and looked at it , its arms where hollow, big and made out of wood, the same ones her old arm was made out of , happy she pulled the arm off it , making it fall making a big noise, which then she smashed the end off it so it would fit onto her stump ,as she did she hear someone coming and decided to hide by climbing up some creates and waiting behind them , it would give her time to fit her arm into the fake arm and give her a weapon again , however this one was a lot bigger but she didn't mind.
she now with new fake arm she feel a lot more safe and more ready to take on anything that comes her way to get to the big amazing place (now this is where more funny things start, her own private mission to see the show, will the little mousey make it before the cat catch its pray , or will the cat be out smarted?)

On a dark and rainy night where most were afraid to walk the streets, Addison was quite relaxed although exhausted. He wore different attire that was quite tame and comfortable. No hats, no scarf, no, this was a disguise to kill in when he meant to get messy and he'd proper time to plan. The clothe were black with straps and many seemingly unnecessary belts. The look was rather odd but not one people might question as it did not scream of someone who looked like they got along. In short, it was a completely different appearance then what others might be accustomed to. At his backside, two pockets were fixed holding two decks of cards: one his weapon, the other his magic set. Attached to another pair of belts inside, were two small shivs. These were never used for fighting, only for enacting his crimes when he had the upper hand and of course, his last weapons in another pouch was a lighter and a case of matches. Why dressed so? Well, he'd recently finished an assignment and was now simply enjoying the water that crashed upon his body.
It didn't take long for him to be stopped, however. As he walked, the sound of singing and then another voice caught his attention around the corner and cautiously he approached. Before he reached it, a girl shot passed him heading for the alley nearby and thanks to his darker appearance and her fear, he went unnoticed. It left him curious however as to why she was running and now he reached back to slowly draw a card from his weapon's deck. When he peeked around the corner, his hand immediately stuffed the card back in, clipped the pocket, and stepped out with a carefree grin. "My, my, Epikuro, I never struck you for one to make children run away," he said quietly before his eyes trailed off back to where the girl had gone. "Kids that young out in rain like this could get sick," he said, the smile fading him leaving a rather rare seriousness on his face not bred from contempt. Addison looked back to Epikuro as he approached her. "Should we go see if she's alright?"

Stephen was down in the sewers, cleaning his throwing knives when he heard a loud clatter a ways down. He frowned, not to keen on going deeper into the filthy establishment but if it was an unwanted intruder he should check out the noise. With a unhappy huff he walked over to where the noise had come from, slipping his knife into his sleeve to conceal it. When he spotted the wracked hat come from a small, shivering body of a child he relaxed some. "Hey, shoo, people are not allowed down..." he recognized the once armless kid that had bashed into him in the streets not too long ago. "Oh, it is you again. Still have not taken a bath I see. At least the rain helped some." he crossed his arms in front of his, giving the kid a disapproving look "And who said you could dismantle our mannequins for your own personal pleasing, brat?" his tone was relaxed, void of emotion as he sassed the kid. If memory served him correctly the kid scared easily.

Edelweiss heard the sound of footsteps muffled by the rain and the presence of someone approaching from a corner behind her, and the hand that had been holding the scarf moved to distractedly fix the tip of her sleeves - her fingers slightly touched what was hidden strapped under. The other's steps were familiar though, at least familiar enough, and she gained confirmation of it when Addison's voice broke the silence. Judging by the name choice he used for her, he must have just finished a job, or researching one. Ah, that was a good outfit for it too. Paying more attention to what had been said, she nodded at him.
"Me neither. That's a kind of peculiar child." At least when she was working on her cover job as a doll-maker, the kids tended to run towards her to have their toys fixed or watching new ones built. And while on her other job... witnesses were something she avoided having. Kids running from her was not something that usually happened. "That's a comercial stabilishment, you know, and not for kids so give it a few moments and I'm sure they'll be pushing her out of the door again so we can see to it better. But if it takes too much time and she doesn't show up, we can check it." Edelweiss sighed, then looked back at Addison. "Long day of work today?"

Eryn was intensely was shocked again that someone found her and with less then notice she Darted away deeper into the dark of the basement,climbing over crates and barrels to get away fast as she can , there was no way this person could get her , but then again now she had her arm back she could protect her self , so as she found a new hiding place she set up a small trap as she hid behind barrels, when the person came after she would just push and they would be trapped under all the boxes and barrels unable to chase her any more, she had to make this work as she waited in her hiding spot, ready to push all her might to get this person.
(Eryn now getting ready to trap the next person who gos after, acting in a way she would hunt rats)

Annoyance flickered into Stephens eye. So the little brat thought she could just scamper off. He turned on his heels and followed her, undoing his eye patch so that he would not be completely blind in the dark. One advantage of being part Cat Andersweltler he supposed, not that he was proud of the fact. The girl certainly was quick. After a few paces he slowed down and stopped about 6 feet away from where the girl was hiding. He was not quite sure where she was but he did not want to corner the girl. A long sigh escaped his lips "Come on, there would be no benefit in hurting you or anything of the sort. Why are you here? People do not crawl down to the sewers for no reason." There was silence as he scanned his surroundings with his yellow eye. "If you are in trouble or something of the sort we might be able to help you. But no one will be able to do anything for you if you keep running away from us."

Slender, gloved fingers ran though the magician's matted hair as he came to stop only a few paces before the fiery haired woman. "Long day? I suppose you could say that," he answered with a small smile as he let his hand fall back to his side. Rain was a wonderful thing because only hours ago the water that came off of him had been tinted with pink yet now, no one would have ever noticed. "It doesn't matter where you go, people are the same everywhere." Although he was speaking to Epikuro, his eyes were on the building where the girl had gone. Impatience was gnawing at him to go find the girl and see if she was alright but calmly he waited.
"You know," he spoke up after a moment then looked to Epikuro. "I can't say I noticed any activity of people near or in that building. That kid may have lucked out and found a place to hide where she won't come out until the daylight when she's chased away or she's made her way into the sewers. Either way, neither of those places could be good for a kid." Exhaling calmly from his nose, Addison turned away and beckoned for Epikuro to follow. "I'm going to have a look if you want to come." He didn't exactly hurry as he took his leisure time in making it into the alley the girl had vanished in. There, he let his eyes scan the darkness before he crept into the maw of such a cramped place. Despite that rain was a wondrous thing, it was also an annoyance because in rain he could not conjure a fire to create light. As he crept in further his heart began to beat faster not because he was scared of the dark but because there was always the likeliness that something could be there with him. Suddenly the mage came to a stop and almost drove his palm against his face. In rain, he could not create fire, but it did not mean he was incapable of creating light. It was a common trick he used, one of the many when he wanted to create a distraction or daze someone for a few seconds, but he would create a bright flash of light. If he could keep that light dimmed enough not to blind, perhaps he could sustain it long enough to grant him temporary vision. Already he could make out the subtle shapes of crates and whatnot but that did not put his mind at ease.
Putting his plan into motion his lips moved to conjure his spell as his hands hovered over one another. At the center of the space between his hands a small orb of light sprang to life and it was bright at first but as quickly as it had come it spread out into the container he made in that space until the light spread thin, illuminating the alley walls and objects around them. Nothing seemed to be in the area with them but this spell, only capable of living for a few seconds, would soon wither away leaving him to hurry and find the entrance the girl had taken in her flight. A quick survey revealed the opening she must have gone through as the light in his hands faded. "I think I found it," he murmured before closing in on it in the dark. Once again he cast his spell long enough to allow them to enter safely.

"I suppose you're right." She said, letting out a deep breath when Addison commented of people being the same everywhere. But he noticed no movement? Seriously? They were in the full of commercial hours, the bar's windows showing its clients moving inside and the background music of some hired anonymous player - that's what the odd young girl had been singing along to, right. It definitely was not empty inside, even considering the chance that might be no workers down the backdor towards... was it a depot, garbage room or just a room to contain trash and detrits that would head to the sewer system, it was difficult to tell. Though, she pondered, Addison might simply be saying that for being impatient. "Sigh... Alright then. Though I'm not sure if chasing after the kid after she ran away will do much to win her trust." Well, so be it anyway. Inside the two of them go, at least the rain would not reach in there so the girl would be staying drier than she'd be outside.

(ok so this is gonna be a push for Eryn , Stephen just a forward sorry for Eryn's behavior and for hurting him if this hits? ) the person in question did not fall for her trap she was scared enough as it was, how can she trust people with spikes , and weird clothing , she had to do something , through the grap that was her size she saw a stair way leading up to somewhere , that music was coming from , her answer to getting to the magic and amazement but she had to take out this person or else it would be bad for her, she slowly crawled around behind the boxs and barrels to stay out of view until she was right behind him , reading the new fake arm she jumped up ran at the person quick and tried to swag her fake at the person head before running passed them and entering the small gap between the crates and making her way through and ran up the stairs, she made a sharp turn left and closed the door behind her , quickly blocking it with a box before continue running and then hiding behind a few more boxs.
her heart was racing , she needed to calm down, reminding her of the time when she was home and a clan of other tried to take her clans area and she had to help hit a person, this was the second time in her life this had happened , knowing that box would not hold for long she continued her way , to sneak through the building to get to the magic place as quick as she can, she could not miss this for the world.
(ok hopefully this will speed up transitions from the swears to a nice place , again sorry Stephen, she is a kid from the Darkest swears below Lodan after all has no understanding of above ground stuff )
