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

As Zona wormed her way out of Keefe's arms, he tried to go in for another one before she began to scold him. Looking down at he shoes some his smile left his face, "Sorry... I just... sorry..." Keefe said as he began to follow the girl over to Elaine. Looking up some his smile came back as his sister began to joke around, or at least it seemed that way. "Of course we will be joining you guys! It will be fun." He added with a smile as he walked up next to Elaine, "I don't think I actually said hi to you today. So... Hi!" Keefe said with a smile as she turned some and noticed Clancy standing there. "Um... Clancy are you ok? Do you want to join us over here?" Keefe asked with a light smile as he waved the man over to the rest of them.

Good, everyone was calming down now. “Well I only brought a couple things. A pound cake for the birthday girl, who doesn’t have to share it if she doesn’t want to.” He pulled out a cloth wrapped loaf and handed it to Zona. Even with it wrapped, you could practically smell the butter used to make it.
“For everyone else, fresh fruit of many kinds.” He opened up the basket to them then, revealing apples and oranges and many other fruits. Surely they would be at least one there that each person would like.

Elaine grinned up at Keefe. "Well hello there stranger!" She teased. Her eyes lit up in glee at the food. Although they may, admittedly, have trailed the pound cake. Only for a few seconds though. The girl nudged Keefe playfully and reached in to grab an apple. A personal favorite like strawberries. Walking a bit away from the rest she sat herself down to munch on her apple watching the others with inquisitive green eyes. She was comparing traits between Alonzo and Zona, physical and psychological. Finding the differences as well as similarities funny. Waiting for someone to join her put an elbow on her knee and sat contentedly.

Zona stood there in surprise as Lasair gave her the cake. She never had a cake like this before, she had stolen small slices of something similar, but nothing like this. Raising the loaf up some Zona smelled it and felt as though she was going to melt. Just then she realized he said 'birthday girl'... How did he know today was that day!? Did she tell him? No she couldn't have, but then again... Looking up to the man some she had a slight questioning look to her face. "Why are you doing this?" Zona asked as she lowered the cake some.

Lasair’s grin faltered slightly as Zona questioned him. At first he shrugged, scratching the back of his head, but then he looked forward, at her, and was honest. “I said that this year it might be special. And it was, or it is,” he paused then, questioning his own decisions suddenly. “Isn’t it? I know meeting Keefe was rather shocking, but, you’re here, with food and friends, the sky is clear so it’s a great day for flying. It’s nothing over the top, since you said you didn’t like your birthday, but it’s something special.” That’s why he’d arranged this whole thing; to give her something special. To have one good birthday among all the not-good ones. Surely she wouldn’t question him trying to do this for her, would she?

As Keefe noticed that Clancy was out of it so he decided to let the man be, no sense in pushing it. Keefe then walked up over to Lasair and grabbed an orange, one of his favorite fruits. "Thank you." Keefe said to Lasair before turning and looking for a spot to sit he notice Elaine sitting by herself a little way off. Walking over there Keefe began to peel his orange, "Mind if I sit with you?" Keefe asked with a smile as he walked up to the girl.

"I just..." Zona said as a slight smile came to her face. Suddenly everything became clear, she remembered him saying that before, remembered she told him when her birthday was, and everything made sense. Zona looked around some as she noticed everyone around her, though they were small and all together there were only five of them, Zona could say that they all, minus Keefe, were all her closest and best friends. And they all came here for her... Turing around she looked at Lasair, "Thank you." Zona said with a smile, "I haven't had an actual birthday party for years... It's better than I thought. Even if I did almost kill the boy." Zona said with a slight smirk as she looked at the boy.

Elaine looked up as Keefe came up. "Absolutely!" She was still listening to Zona and Lasair, dividing her attention. "So how is life as a younger sibling?" She teased taking a bite of her apple with a grin. She stopped to examine her teeth marks in the fruit before returning her gaze to the boy. Today was a great day.

He smiled, glad that she didn’t mind the little festivities that he put together for her. Picking up an apple, he bit into it before pointing to the sky. “I dunno if you noticed what I said before, but Keefe doesn’t know how to fly. He could use a lesson from an expert like you,” he said with a wink. She’d probably want to munch on her cake before she took to the skies, however.
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Jul 13, 2015 15:36:34 GMT
"Wait, he seriously doesn't know how to fly?!" Zona questioned, thinking Lasair was just messing with her before when he said this. "How does he not know how to fly? It's like.... You just know how to do it..." Zona said as she turned back around to Lasair looking at him with a question in her eyes. She then just realized that her wings were still out, they just felt so natural when they were out, one could completely forget about them.
Looking down Zona realized she still had the cake in hands. Unwrapping it some she tore a corner off from it and brought it close to her mouth, she was slightly hesitant of it before she stuffed it in her mouth. "Oh....." Zona mumbled as the cake melted in her mouth and her eyes went wide. Grabbing another piece she stuffed it in her mouth before almost half the loaf was gone. "That was great." She said with a smile as she folded the wrapping back over it, she did want to save some of it.

"Well I didn't think I would have been thrown against a tree and held there, but I guess that's what happens when siblings fight, right?" Keefe joked with a smile, as he finished peeling his orange. "I have to say I didn't think my sister would be... so.... like...." Keefe said, stumbling with what he was trying to say. He knew what he wanted to say but didn't know the words to use. Keefe looked up to see Zona staring at them for a moment before turning around, he just now noticed her wings. He wondered if his would look like that, or if they were different...
Post by Elaine Anncroft on Jul 14, 2015 13:15:58 GMT
Elaine shrugged. "It happens. As long as your alright." She fluffed his hair playfully. "And you didn't believe she would be so sarcastic? Strong? Short?" Elaine teasingly named of multiple qualities of her friend. But she nudged him lightly to assure him she knew what he meant. Glancing over she saw Keefe looking at something. The girl followed his gaze to Zona's wings, a deep to light turquoise blue. "They're pretty aren't they?" She asked eating her apple.
Post by Alonzo K. Ruxton on Jul 14, 2015 17:11:28 GMT
"Ya." Keefe said with a smile as the girl joked about what Zona was like, "I just didn't think this would be her... I was raised with well mannered and proper girls, so I just thought... But she is the opposite of that..." Keefe said as he continued to look at her wings. He then just nodded some as Elaine asked what he was looking at. "How is it that you imagine someone one way yet they are the complete opposite of that? I thought she would have been happy to see me, happy to know she has a brother... I thought she would have been kind of like me..." Keefe said as he continued to stare at Zona's wings, slightly mesmerized by them. "They are beautiful. I wonder if mine are like that..." Keefe thought out loud as he looked over his shoulder some, trying to see his back.

“I’m glad you enjoyed the cake, I got it from my favorite bakery,” he smiled at her, pulling out an apple to munch on.
“And nope, he was raised with non-Anders so he doesn’t know much about true heritage. I bet he could use a little sibling guidance from an older sis like you.” He grinned at he spoke to her, looking over at Keefe and Elaine. It occurred to him that Zona would probably find out about their relationship sooner rather than later. That’d be something interesting to see. As for Clancy, well, he seemed to have fled at the sight of Zona being scary.

"Wow..." Zona mumbled, surprised the boy didn't know that. "Well if he really wants to learn he will have to ask me personally." She said as she turned back around some to look at the boy. He seemed to be looking at his back, or trying to anyway. A thought then popped into her head, "What job does the boy have? Does he have a job at all?" Zona asked as she stood next to Lasair rather than in front of him, continuing to stare at the boy some.
