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

Open to Jasper Pickett (and anyone who seems to fit in)
Zona had just finished looking for a new mission to go on with no luck, all the good ones were taken so she was stuck with going on a sit out to see if the suspect was doing what they though, and from the look of the papers he wasn't. Zona decided she would have some fun around the theater district before she headed off on her mission, maybe go to the bar for a bit, sneak in to a play for about half of it, or just walk around and see what there was to see. Maybe she would see something interesting.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" Jasper announced in a loud and proud voice that demanded attention. "Gather 'round and witness the fantastic, the magnificent, the amazing Anders! Greatest juggler in all of Lodan!" He smiled brightly withdrawing a trio of balanced daggers from his jacket; they were fragile, little things not fit for fighting but perfect for juggling. "Please remember to stand back. Even I, Lodan's greatest juggler, sometimes make mistakes. But with these-" He paused and waved one of the knives. "Any slip could lead to-" He dragged the dull edge of a dagger across his throat making a "squick" sound as he did so. "Now! Who's ready for the show of their life!" A few members of the slowly growing crowd cheered with joy, mostly little ones whose parents had brought them along. In one speedy and fluid motion he tossed all three of the knives into the air; just as quickly as he had thrown them up he caught a pair of them in separate hands, leaving the third to tumble in midair in front of his face. He spun one of the daggers in between his finger before tossing it up and snatching the third out of the air by the blade. He exchanged the daggers in his hands - by tossing them in an X pattern at chest level - before throwing them both back into the air with the third. He waved his hand from left-to-right, catching two of the three from the air then pivoted 180 degrees, catching the final dagger behind his back. He turned to the crowd and bowed before tossing the daggers back into the air and preforming a much simpler routine. After a few more feats of extraordinary talent, he removed one of the daggers from the circle with his right and used it to point towards his audience while juggling the remaining two with his left. "Is anyone willing to volunteer their possessions for a truly dazzling display? Just reach into your pockets and toss what you find hither." He pointed to his left hand with the dagger in his right. "What about you sir, or you, or you madam?" He pointed to various member of his audience which had grown significantly. He noticed a familiar blue-haired girl wander around the corner; his smile grew exponentially. "Or what about you madam? In the far back! Care to participate? I promise I will give any of your valuables back!"

As Zona walked toward a near by bar she not only notice a crowd forming but a familiar, and rather loud voice, as she turned to see it was she saw several knifes being thrown into the air, along with a blue head of hair just behind it. "Must be that Anders boy I met not to long ago..." she thought to herself as she began to walk off suddenly she hear him calling volunteers, she looked back over and saw he was pointing directly at her. As if a spot light had been shining on her the crowd parted a bit and turned to look at her, she could now easily see Anders. She slowly walked up, "I'll play along here." Zona thought to herself before reaching into her bag to see what she could pull out to throw at him. She had anything and everything in her side pouch, "Well what do ya want?" She said not too sure about what she should throw to him, "I got knifes, wrapping, a coin pouch, arrows, just name it and I most likely have it!" She said as she held some things up.

Iacomus chuckled as he walked near the crowd surrounding a street juggler... Who was quite spectacular, he would admit, as he applauded the man's dagger act. Iacomus had been out working in the nearest graveyard and had a few little tidbits he was bringing back with him. A kidney and a tonsil or two. The juggler, Anders, as he seemed to call himself, called into the crowd to try an act using whatever what was thrown at him. Iacomus chuckled to himself as he pictured what would happen if he were to throw one of the organs in there... He might have even done it too, but Anders seemed to call on someone else from the back... He watched as Miss Noakes seemed to make her way up to the front. They did always seem to run into each other, didn't they....

Jasper's eyes lit up, so she had heard him. "Anything, fair maiden! In fact, toss it all!" His smile grew and he winked at her. "And might I say that is a wonderful hair color!" He turned back toward the crowd, shifting his weight and the trio of daggers so that he was now using both hands again. "Whenever you're ready!" He announced.

Zona smiled at his comment about her hair, and prepared herself for throwing things to him. Once he said he was ready Zona throw the objects in her hand at him one by one, the knifes, the wrap, the coin pouch, a few arrows, she wasn't sure if that was too much or if he wanted more, she stood there a moment and waited to see if he yelled that was enough or if he wanted more. As she looked at him she noticed a familiar face in the audience out of the corner of her eye. "That old man just cant leave me alone..." Zona thought to herself as she ignored him and put all her attention back on Anders.

Jasper waited for the girl to pick out what items she was going to throw to him. He expected her to toss up one or two, like most people did, but she didn't and for a moment he was taken by surprise. The initial shock was off just in time for him to catch the first few items - a set of knives. With expert timing Jasper reached out and snatched the daggers from the air, adding them to his already formed circle of blades. As soon as he had done so he noticed the small pouch of coins headed his way. He responded with the same speed and finesse as he had with the knives, catching the miniature leather purse with his left hand and enlarging his little collection. Then came the bandage roll. Jasper spread his feet a few inches, adjusting his weight. So far the objects in his hands had been about the same weight and had some form now structure; now she had thrown something almost weightless and loose at him. He reached out and caught the wrapping somewhat hesitantly before adding it to the ring. He didn't have too much time to think about the awkwardness of the cloth in his hands before he noticed a group of arrows; unlike the knives, the arrows had been thrown more bundled together. Jasper caught them with the slightest delay in his timing. With the last of the objects in his hands, Jasper noticed how uncomfortable it was to constantly shift the amount of strength in each of his exchanges; he took a few moments to get use to the feeling before looking to the blue-haired girl and smiling. "Is there anything more you would like to add?" He asked raising an eyebrow as the crowd finished of its applause. As promised, I'm here for the weekend.

Zona watched with wide eyes as the boy grabbed and juggled everything she threw at him. She was slightly surprised how he asked for something else, think quickly she thought of the only other thing on her that she was willing to throw, "Try this on for size then!" Zona said with a smile as she took her bow off from over her shoulder and threw it to him, "Break it and your gettin' me a new one! At least a model year newer!" Zona said hoping that was good motivation for him to not drop it.

Jasper heard the girl shout before noticing what she was shouting about. She had tossed her bow at him! It was way too large and unwieldy to be toss into the air like the other items he was juggling now. Carefully, he enlarged his circle before reaching out and snatching the bow from the air by one of its limbs. In one fluid motion he twirled down onto one knee, set the weapon on the ground, and stood back up to catch the other falling objects. "Sorry, Miss." Jasper said, tossing a dagger up and wiping the sweat off of his forehead, "I can't do that."

Well that didn't go as planned, but at least he caught her bow and didn't let it fall to the ground. "Well that's about all I can do. Don't have much else to give ya." Zona was still impressed that he caught and juggled all the stuff she threw at him even if he didn't juggle her bow.

"That's fine my dear." Jasper said with a slightly strained smile. "I think you've contributed enough today. Wouldn't you agree?" He ran his eyes about the crowd scanning the faces of his captivated audience. "Now is there anyone else that would like to volunteer their valuables? Anyone at all." After witnessing Jasper's graceful performance, several of the crowd's members were awestruck, many of them offered up their own possessions to be juggled. In a flash, Jasper's smile broadened. "Catch." he shouted back at Zona before he tossed the coin pouch and wrappings - the non-lethal things - her way; he projected them in such a way that made them easy to catch, and if she didn't they'd bounce harmlessly off her chest, as long as she didn't move that is. A woman from the middle section tossed up a silver colored bracelet, one daring man from the left tossed up his wallet, and another man threw in a shiny gold pocket watch. Jasper caught each with his former grace and speed returning suddenly; once he caught the watch, however, a mild jolt ran up his arm, something that happened to him almost every time he touched something technological, it was a sign that it would explode anywhere two to five seconds later. Jasper obeyed then tactile signal almost immediately, and without warning tossed the watch back the way it came. "Sorry, Ladies and Gents, no tech. You can give me anything but tech." he announced to the crowd as he continued his spectacular performance.
