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 ALL It has been an interesting series of events: for the past couple of days, Amon has hired three Anderswelters (well,at least half Ander...doesn't matter, they all have an affect on his arm). Kind of odd, considering the recent anti-Ander vibes he had been getting from EIRAL's headquarters...whatever, more members for Mingo's!
It was another quiet day, and Amon was going through some inventory in the shop, fixing up some of the toys that were damaged from the latest member's visit.
"You really ought to exercise more care," said Abby as she swept the floor.
"At least charge them a fixing fee if you have to do this every time," suggested Abe.
"Hey, half of the time these things break down due to my recent experiments, so it can't be helped. And I'm not that much of a hypocritical jerk," replied Amon as he fixed the last toy. "Well...I know business is business, but I think we won't be getting any other magical visitors for a bit..."

Serenity was walking down the Merchants District with a shy look to her. She used her wings to hide herself slightly as she held a piece of paper with a name and address on it. The city made her nervous as did everything else, but she would have to get over those feelings!
"Okay Evealin ... we can do this." Serenity spoke in a soft voice to a ball jointed doll that sat in a purse slung over her shoulder. She was a comforting object to keep around for the winged woman and rarely left her side for long periods of times. Reaching out she pushed the door slowly peaking into the store.
As soon as the newcomer walked in, a small pop could be heard from one of the toys next to Amon.
"You and your big mouth," said Abe.
"Oh shut it," Amon replied. "Just bring this to the back, apparently hasn't been prepared enough," he said with a sigh, handing the toy over to Abe.
"Whatever," replied the doll.
"We shall leave you two to your business," said Abby with a small curtsy. "Behave yourself," she said as she followed Abe into the back room.
"...What is she talking...oh..." he thought, his eye giving a small twitch as he finally noticed the newcomer's wings.
"So...can I help you...? And...uh...no offense, but it might be in your best interest to hide your wings..."

Serenity watched in awe of the clock work dolls who spoke. She had never seen anything like them before and it was amazing! Jumping a little she turned red.
"Sorry." She nodded quickly folding her wings behind her and let them disappear. Once they where gone she stepped into the stop closing the door quietly behind her.
"I'm looking for a Mr. Amon ..." Serenity turned to him with a hand on her purse and the other on the strap. There was no doubt that she was completely nervous.
"That would be me," he replied, doing his best to pin down his rising feeling of envy. "Sorry, about that; it's just that while some visitors around here don't care, there are others who don't take too kindly to...your lot," he said with a small smile. "It's best to be safe than sorry."
"Is there something I can help you with...?"

"... Our lot? O-oh of course." Serenity looked down slightly taking that to note, she was too new in the city to recognize. Really she had thought he had asked her to hide her wings because with her luck she'd end up knocking things over with them! When she Serenity looked back up she saw the smile and smiled back holding onto her bag.
"I was directed you are the one to speak to about opening a store in the city. I have just moved in and well I really want to make a living from what I love to do." She said before reaching into her bag and pulled out the doll to sit in her hands. She had long red hair and blinked every now and then, but besides that did not do much. "I make and design dolls."
"...That would explain her lack of concern..." Amon thought, upon hearing how new she was to the city. As for the doll...it took him half a second to realize that it wasn't the mechanical kind that he was so used to seeing...
"Well, you've come to the right person. What's it made out of?" he asked, impressed by the craftsmanship.

Feeling more comfortable in the shop Serenity messed with the dolls hair in her hands cooing slightly to the doll. "This one is made from porcelain, but I can make them out of almost any material. Wood, porcelain, plastics. Anything that can be carved or cast into a form." She smiled making the doll stand in her hand.
"I can also make them do simple things like blink or walk for a few seconds. Nothing to complicated yet."
"...I see..." said Amon, eyeing the doll and potential business rival carefully. "...So they won't move unless you use your magic on them...right?"

"Only with magic ... I can't really use anything else." Serenity said shrugging her shoulders looking back at him; ohhh the uneasy feeling came back to her and she looked around trying not to make eye contact. "... S-so what do you think?"
"I think that certain costumers will stop bugging me for dolls that are not made of metal," Amon replied, scratching the back of his head. "So long as you are careful of who you show your little trick to, you should be fine; like I said, not a lot of people are friendly to Andersweltlers, so just be careful," he warned.
"Did you have a place in mind?"

The brunette waltzed into Amon's shop, Leather mask in place and a slight bounce to her step, her aura surprising light for the usual grumpiness that followed her gray scale figure. The happy tune on her lips died off quickly however when she noticed someone else was inside other then the usual mechanic. Her steps stopped short, her posture stiffened, the dark eyes behind her mask flickered over the light figure standing in the middle of the store, a porcelain doll in hand.
"Should i come back some other time, Amon?" She asked, her tone instantly away from her happy buzz to something bordering on stoic.

Serenity nodded in reply to his advise, right keep her wings hidden from people. Sighing she put the doll back into her bag before putting a smile back onto her lips. "Well there is a little building not to far where I live. It's the prefect size for a workshop and store front." She smiled thinking about it. "I believe it's at least 6 blocks away from here ... or so." She had to think hard about it since she had no sense of direction.
Sensing another person show up she turned to see a strange scary looking bird masked lady. It made her squeak with a slight jump, but worse her wings came back out and fluffed up. "U-u-uhhhh!!!"
"Nope, you're fine..." replied Amon with a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose, shaking his head at the spectacle. "Just fine..."
So much for being careful.
"I was just helping a Mingo's hopeful here get set up," he said, regaining his composure. "Can I help you?"

Vïeka jerked back at the suddenly winged appearance of the girl, her eyes wide behind her mask and her hands slightly flexed at her side, as if she was about to throw magic at the girl. She caught herself quick enough however, her posture relaxing just as quickly, and an aura of displeasure practically pouring out of her.
"Careful with those wing's doll-face, your going to break the whole drat shop if your not careful!" she snapped unhappily, agitated at the total lack of respect for someone else's hard work, not to mention, lack of concern for having the drat flappy contraptions out in the first place. "Geez, if the military were around...." she muttered, brushing past the woman to Amon, careful of the mechanics around her as always, magic tingling her skin distractedly. she eyed the mechanic's arm discretely, wondering how he was holding up.
