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 everyone (Especially someone who knows how to fix and or make a bow...)Well it had been a few days since Zona's encounter with Eryn and the wild children that came up from the sewers and because of that she lost, or well... watched her bow get bitten in half by one of those children. So Zona was on the hunt for a new one, and this time rather than taking it from a dead man, she was thinking of actually buying one... Weird right? Well because of all the work she had been doing she actually had money she could save for a rainy day. Well that rainy day had come. So she began her hunt at the only good place she could think of, the Merchants District. And with that she was off.

(Mind if Elaine jumps in to see her buddy Z? )
Elaine had shot up out of bed that morning. She was up before her parents. That must have been a miracle! Quietly getting dressed she pulled her satchel off the bedpost and creeped out of her room. She shut the door with a soft click and got to the stairs with a smile. Instead of walking down the dangerous stack of creaking noises she slid down the railing like she had practiced so many times. Landing with a soft thud she was already halfway across the stores font room. "Where are you going?" Elaine froze. Her mother stood behind the counter with a half-smile and a questioning gaze. "Just off to somewhere. I wont be out all night this week I promise. Bye!" Elaine called and before her mother could retaliate she was out the door. But upon exiting she skidded to a halt before she crashed into a familiar head of blue hair. "Z?! Hey what are you doin around here?"

Zona's instincts kicked in as she jumped back some, just before a familiar face nearly crashed into her. If both had been walking at the same rate they were then both would have been lying on the ground holding their heads. "Oh Elaine." Zona said with a bit of surprise to her voice, she hadn't been expecting to run into anyone today, but Elaine was just the person Zona could use help from. "I'm actually on the search for a new bow. Somethin' happened to mine..." Zona said as she glanced over her shoulder, missing the feeling of the string that would normally lay across her chest. "Hey ya live around here and know this place rather well right?" Zona asked as she looked back over to the girl, "Maybe ya could help me find a new one."

Elaine nodded when she mentioned her living here. "Sure why not. There's a few weapons stores nearby." The girl turned on her heel mapping out the swiftest route with the most stores. "Come on. We can go look around." Elaine began walking towards the nearest shop. Her eyes picked up the gleam of blades and such inside. "So, how have you been?" She asked.

"Ehh..." Zona said with a shrug as she shoved her hands into her pockets, "I guess ok... Besides gettin' my bow snapped nothin' has really happened to me... It's been slow... and rather boring." Zona had never really been bored before... with living on the streets something always happened to her, but since she got her house, everything has gone at a slower less exciting pace. "What about you?" Zona asked as she looked around at some of the stores the two passed.

"Nothing exciting enough to cause my weapons to spontaneously break." She teased. "But I suppose my social side has been getting a workout." She'd been meeting people nonstop. But it was nice to see someone she already knew. "Been all over the city the past few days. Unfortunately nothing as fun as shopping with a friend. Barely got out of the house this morning!" She exclaimed. "Mum somehow is always up before me." Grumbling like any teenager would with parents that seemed to never sleep. "I swear they're vampires." She said feigning seriousness.

Zona smiled as the girl talk, though she had no idea how to reply to it, since she never had a parent that would do that. "You call shopping fun?" Zona asked with a raised eyebrow, hoping Elaine didn't notice how she changed the subject.

"It is as long as your not shopping with a stick-in-the-mud." Elaine grinned bumping shoulders lightly with Zona . She angled to the right and pointed to a store with daggers gleaming out the windows. "Come on! Lets try here first." Elaine opened the shops door and bell announced their arrival. Weapons of all kinds were hung, and displayed on the walls and tables. She stood there waiting for Z.

Zona smiled some as the girl nudged her with that last comment, "Alright, we can try here." Zona said as she looked in the window of the store. Those daggers though... they seemed familiar. Zona couldn't remember from where but she knew them for some reason. Pushing that thought in the back of her mind she began to look around, she started in the front corner of the store. Just then the owner of the store came out from the back and stood at the front counter.
The was a large, rather overweight, beefy man, with a full beard and mustache. He had short, dark hair, and wore raggedy old clothing that looked like they should have been thrown away years ago. Standing behind the counter the man just stood there, staring at the door or Elaine, with his look no one could tell. Looking up some, Zona saw the man, "Wait a minute... Is that..." Just then Zona remembered how she knew of those daggers and she realized she knew that man. "Oh no..." She said under her breath as she quickly grabbed Elaine's arm and dragged her over behind a thing of shelves holding 3 different kind swords on it. "Elaine, we need to go!" Zona said under her breath, but just loud enough for Elaine to hear her.

Elaine stumbled behind the shelves giving Zona a look after she got her balance back. She straightened her shirt with a few tugs. "What? Why?" Elaine peered through the racks at the man behind the counter. 'She must know him.' The girl thought. Then turning back to her friend she whispered, "What did you do?" Brain kicking into escape gear Elaine looked around. The door was in clear view of the man. Gonna kinda be hard to get out without being spotted.

Zona smirked as she looked away from the girl and the last question she asked. "Long story short, the guy wants my head on as silver platter..." Zona said as she peered over at the man some, knowing that as soon as he saw her all hell would break lose. "Lets just get out of here before he sees us." She said as looked over, just then she noticed something, something she needed. "Oh..." Zona said under her breath as a smile arose from her face. "Hey I have a plan." Zona said with a smile as she turned to look over to Elaine.
The man continued to stand behind the counter, now looking around some to see where this costumer had gone. Still standing and refusing to leave from behind the counter, the man crossed his arms over his chest, showing that what little patients he had was wearing thin.

"Do many people have that same wish?" Elaine grinned. She gazed at the large, imposing man. Her already tiny body feeling even smaller. 'Why must I be short?' But the thrill of action sparked in her eyes at Zona's smile. The dark haired girl turned to Zona. "Whatcha got in mind?"
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Jun 15, 2015 17:18:58 GMT
Zona smiled at Elaine's first comment, "Ya nearly the entire city" Zona thought as the plans finished finalizing in her mind. "Your job is simple. Since he doesn't want you dead you can just go up to him and ask him about something in that corner of the store." Zona said as she pointed to the opposite side of the store, "Just keep him from looking over here and by the door." Upon looking over at the man it seemed that was the only thing he could look at was the door. "Oh and be careful, he keeps a shot gun behind the counter... He doesn't like to leave there unless he has to, so make your acting good." She said as she looked back over to the man.

"You need a new hobby other than ticking people off." Elaine murmured sarcastically. She nodded a few times during the plan and with a quick breath she stepped out from behind the shelves. "Oh hello! Sorry for making you wait. I saw a very nice looking sword." Elaine approached the counter trying not to look reluctant to do so. The countertop was about chest level with her. She glared at it briefly before looking behind the man t find something to ask about. She spotted a set of daggers. "Excuse me but what can you tell be about those?" She asked pointing. The man raised an eyebrow before turning. "The set with the leather handles?" He rumbled. "Yes! Yes, those." Then man began to list facts about them and Elaine motioned behind her back to the door. 'Please be quick Zona!'

Zona watched as Elaine walked up and began to talk to the man, "Wow... He's more talkative today than normal... and a bit more friendly..." She thought as she slowly snuck off the other side of the shelves. "Just a bit longer..." Zona thought as she watched and waited for the man to turn around, and as soon as he did... Zona shot out from behind the shelves, ran over to where the bows hung, grabbed the one that caught her eye, along with a quiver full of arrows and raced back just as the man was turning back around to face Elaine. "Time to wait again..." Zona thought as she waited behind the shelves a moment before turning to look over at the two again.
