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

"Wow those are lovely!" Elaine stalled. She flashed a glance behind her. The door hadn't opened, she'd have heard the bell. She instantly mentioned another set as the man began to turn around."What about the ones under it?" She said. "They look very fancy. May I see them?" The man grunted in acknowledgment and reached up to untie them and pull them down. The leather ties got tangled up in the knife's handle embroidery. Excellent! More time. With his back to her Elaine cast a glance back to see where her friend was.

And with that Zona was out of there, the only thing that gave her away was the small ding that the door made whenever it was opened or closed. Once out Zona made her way past the store window and over into a nearby alleyway, where she patiently waited for Elaine to come out. As she waited she counted the arrows she had along with the 'newly acquired' ones.

Elaine told the man not to worry about the weapons, she had seen enough. And to have a nice day before scurrying out of the store. She turned into the alley with a grin. "You have got to find new interests." She said before noticing the bow. "Hmm, there goes our day of shopping." She watched Zona count arrows and peeked around the corner. No sound came from the store they just left. Good. "Never. And I mean never ask me to chat around with one of your buddies." Elaine put guys in quotations with her fingers.

"Well then ya shouldn't go shoppin' with me." Zona said with a smirk as she moved all her old arrows to the new quiver and then placed it over her shoulder and onto her back. Looking over the bow she just happened to come across the price tag, normally the price was next to the object and the more expensive ones were attached to the thing. "Well that was fun. Right?" She said with a smirk, she did actually enjoy that. Normally it was just her doing something like that but with Elaine... It made it easier and she had someone to talk to afterwards... Zona was beginning to like the idea of 'shopping'. (Shall we make this interesting? Have a bit of fun with the shop owner?) (Yes, Yes, or Totally Yes?)

Elaine rolled here eyes. "Not like I had better plans." She said still scanning the crowd and listening intently for angry bull noises from inside. "It was rather fun...." The girl grinned. The thrill of always wondering if you were going to get caught. "But am I stupid for making enemies in my home district?" She asked laughing. This as going to be a fun day.

"I would say yes to that but then again I ain't the person to be talkin' since nearly the entire city hate or wants me dead." Zona said with a smile as she began to walk out of the alley to join the crowd, but before she could a noise came from the store. "Oh no..." Zona said as she stepped back into the alley. "Maybe we should wait here a bit." She said as she held out her hand and pushed the girl and herself back, and deeper into the alley as she waited for the door to whip open, and as if on queue it did. "Wher' In the 'ell did she GO!?!?!" The man screamed as he raced out of his store with his gun, "I'll Kill 'er, I will!!!"

Elaine shared the smile with Zona but it disappeared as chaos erupted from inside. She backed up as quickly and quietly as she could. "That seems like a good idea." She murmured pressing herself up against the wall. "How many times have you stolen from killer out there?" Elaine put a hand on her daggers and unlatched them. Just in case.
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Jun 17, 2015 4:14:02 GMT
"Too many times to count." Zona said with a face like stone, cold and hard, though it was not directed at the girl at all but towards the man looking for her. "Listen." Zona said as she turned and looked at Elaine, "He knows I was the one-" Was all she could get out before the shop owner began to shout again, "Wher' is she!! That 'ittle blue hai'ed RAT!!! I know sh' was wit' that other one!!! I'll KILL 'er!!!!!" The man shouted as his voice slowly got louder, meaning he was getting closer to the alleyway, "Just get outta here! He wants me and I know how to deal with him." Zona said before turning around and standing up close to the wall, making she she wasn't seen yet, "I don't know what I would do it ya got hurt and it was my fault." Zona said a bit under her breath just before she began to walk out of the alley.

Elaine looked up at Zona rather confused at what she was saying. The defiance lit up in their green depths. "What? No way!" But Zona wasn't listening. With a frustrated hiss she turned and looked around. She couldn't just run out into the crowd. Stupid idea that was if the guy caught her and demanded to find Z. Instead Elaine found another way out. Yanking her gloves off she ran to the very back of the building. The wall looked smooth but she knew better. Scratching it a to find a good hold she began to climb. "Thank the lord for claws and walls." She grunted.
Reaching the roofs edge she put her hands up and over momentarily losing her footing. But the few seconds of dangling didn't stop her from swinging a leg over and hauling herself up. The rough surface scraped her knees up a bit but she ignored it. Elaine looked around above the streets and sneaked her way across the shingles. As she got to the edge and flattened herself a bit she felt the familiar tug of deja vu. 'I need more things to have deja vu about than sitting on buildings.' The thought flashed through her mind sourly. Leaning out carefully to look in the street she saw the man making his way to the alley. She followed his every move until she saw Zona. Crouching at the edge she watched and waited. Her shoulders tense and ready.

Zona looked back just for a moment to see if Elaine was still there or if she listened to Zona's words and ran off. She did the second to Zona's surprise and was scaling a nearby wall "Either she is a really good climber or that girl has some cat in her..." Zona thought as she waited for the girl to get to the top. Once the girl was up and out of danger Zona began to make her move, but not before readjusting her new bow on her shoulder. Straightening her back and standing up she began to walk out of the alley.
"Wher' is SH'!!!!!!" The man howled as he looked around of on of the girls, nearby people stood and watched, some continued on their way, while others made sure to get a good seat for what was to come. "I know Yer' out ther'!!! Come out!!!!!" "Oh would ya just shut the hell up!" Zona said as she walked out of the alley and ended up directly in front of the man "Time to put that code name to good use." She thought. Upon hearing the new voice the man whipped around to find the girl he was searching for. Holding his gun high he stepped closer to the blue haired ander, towering over her. "I kne' it was you." He man said with a devilish grin.

Elaine crouched on the roof watching. 'I know she can handle herself.' She thought, 'But if he hurts her I'll be darned if I don't give him a few marks to remember me by.' The girl already wanted to take a frying pan to the back of the mans head. And by passers stopped to watch?! 'Gun versus bow?' Elaine mulled the situation over from above. Her green eyes intent on the mans every move.

The man reached forward to try to grab the blue haired girl but to no avail, "Now, Now, now..." Zona said with her back to the man as she looked over her shoulder, "That's no way to treat your customer." Zona then gave a pout and looked away, she loved getting on peoples nerves. "Wha' th'... You Ain't no customer!!! Your a' dirty rat!! Tha's what you is!!!" He man hollered as he began to run towards the girl. Due to how slow the man went, and how quick Zona was she knew she could push her luck and just stand there for a few moment before he got close. And just as he did she jumped up and over the man landing behind him as he continued to run forward. "Wha' th'?" He questioned as he turned around, "You sir, are a horrid run.... Have ya ever thought about gettin' a trainer?" Zona asked with a smirk as the mans face grew red with rage.

Elaine smiled a bit at the blue haired girl. 'The gall of that woman.' As Stephen might put it. It sounded like something he would say. But her smile faded quickly as Zona stood there while the man tried to grab her. But she finally moved and Elaine let out a breath with a roll of her eyes. "Show off." She muttered. Looking to her left Elaine saw several small pebbles. Probably up here when the younger boys played with their slingshots thinking they were the scourge of the streets. Picking one up she turned it over in her palm. Tossed it up and caught it before sitting up on the roof on her knees and throwing it at the back of the man's head as hard as she could. Then she ducked back down and flattened herself to the shingles. Peering over to see if she had landed the hit.

The man began to scream in rage only to be cut off by something hitting him in the back of the head. Though it didn't hit hard enough to actually do any damage, it did do something in the man's mind. Like a switch the man went from... nice? to truly ready to kill. "THAT'S IT!!!" The man shouted as he began to shoot up into the sky, aiming at nothing. "DON'T NO ONE MOVE!!!" The man screamed as he aimed his gun straight at Zona's head, "Great..." Zona though as she looked up to the roof slightly, having a rather large suspicion of where that small object that came from. "Listen How about we just-" Zona began to say in a rather nice and calming voice before getting cut off by the large man, "NO!!! I'm done lis'enin' to ya!! No more talkin'!!!" Then man screamed as he blindly aimed and shot his gun. If Zona were a bit farther away she would have had a better chance of dodging, and if, ya know, he actually aimed, but since neither were in her favor the bullet found itself lodged in the upper part of her right arm. "Argggg..." Zona grunted as she grabbed her now wounded arm. "drat it...."

Elaine fought the urge to cry out as a blind bullet splintered the brick on the chimney next to her. A piece of it neatly giving her a small cut on her cheekbone. After several rounds split the air she looked over again. Yelling ensued and he had the shotgun pointed at the blue haired girl. "Zona!" She yelled seeing her get shot. Guilt bit into her like the jaws of a dog. Elaine froze thinking rapidly of what she could do versus what she should do. She should back off and let Zona handle this. But she was injured. And it was her fault. Seething inwardly at her idiocy she jumped from the ledge. Aiming for a neat landing on the mans shoulders. If her weight didn't crush him it would surely knock him off balance. It would send her tumbling as well but she could right herself faster.
