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
"Dunno...maybe he likes it...?" Amon whispered back. "Guy seems to have a penchant for putting himself in a position to get his arse handed to him..." he continued, remembering the time Stephen had that fight with Viktor.
"I gotta say, how do you keep him in line...?"

Well, Mr. Pendrake certainly had good manners. If he knew the Leland name then he must be of higher standings. Pendrake sounded a bit familiar, he just could not figure out where he had heard the name. "You are correct, I am not originally from Lodan- Brisol actually." He took a moment to respond to his question, thinking over his response. Of course the commander Skye's incarceration was suspicious. The man was not the killer, anyone taken by Jack knew that. Commander Skye could have been pulling the strings but that was doubtful. "You must be inquiring about the events concering EIRAL's recent change in leadership. Commander Skye's imprisonment seems most unfitting to me; I doubt he had anything to do with that serial killer. Maybe the reasons for framing Skye are not as pure as they appear to be," he responded quietly, honesty ringing in his voice. Stephen did not know Commander Skye all that well but he knew more of him than the new commander in charge so it would be preferable to have the ex-commander back in charge.
After that business was taken care of, he addressed the next question, "This is Miss Rikuzeyah Storm, but please call her Ikuze. You are mistaken in thinking that I do this as some for or reconciliation. May I ask the name of your guest as well? I do not recognize her and it would be rude to leave her out of the conversation." Yes, he used Ikze's full name to annoy her. Yes, he would probably pay dearly for it but it was worth it.
The blue haired girl gave a little snort, with a scowling smirk towards Stephen, before she casually started to toy with the knives at the table. "Keep it up Sourpuss, and Charles' dreams of grand-fatherhood may take a dive." she said all so sweetly. She felt something tickling the back of her head and put the knives back where they were. Underneath the table she lifted one of her boots and began to press the tip of it every so gently against Stephen's precious for a few moments before putting it back on the floor. "Or maybe I'll just teach your numerous cats some new tricks." she smirked.

"That's possible. Debateable, but possible." Edel whispered back at Amon's suggestion that Stephen liked to suffer.
"Hmmm, I must say, it's not that hard? I mean, yes he's really grumpy sometimes but he tends to be really agreeable when I talk to him. And in case of emergency I got an extremely fluffy cat and can bribe him with letting him pet her or not."

Mr Leland seemed to be forthright with him, and Artorigus sighed as he shook his head. "Politics. Ever the annoyance of life isn't it?" he said before they pulled apart to speak normally. When Stephen introduced his dinner guest, he bowed his head towards her. "The pleasure is mine Miss Storm." he said, trying to keep a straight face as the blue haired woman threatened the safety of her date. When the subject came around to his own guest, he gave a slight cough to clear his throat from any potentially lingering chuckles. "This is Miss Gladys Hayden. She kindly agreed to show me around the city and was in fact the one who suggested this fine place to eat tonight." he said, hoping that maybe with his honest praise of her that it could help her a little bit.
Amon shook his head in amusement. "Well, at least I know who to turn to on the off chance he starts being more than just grumpy," he said with a sigh.
He paused for a bit. "Sorry, just running out of small talk," he said with a slightly nervous laugh. "I would ask more about you and your past, but...well..."
With the persons around them, it wouldn't have been a good idea. The food better get here soon...

"There's plenty I don't mind telling of my past, you know. You make it sound like such a taboo like Ikuze's full name." She chuckled. It was pretty true, in all meanings.
"My father was a piano teacher, my mom was a housewife. I became fatherless rather early, and it was about the same time I had to start working too. Running errands, making deliveries, that kind of thing. Then at 14 I got my first stable job as a doll-maker." And as an assassin. "Since you've been living here since prior the civil war, maybe you can remember a small toyshop called CS Stars just a couple squares away from the Merchants District? There's where I used to work before CAEsAL's foundation."

"Really," Amon replied, "That explains a couple of things."
"I used to live a little closer to the Hovel, in my Old Man's shop, Timeless Toys. We had to move out around my 19th birthday when a couple of thugs burned down the place. We ended up a couple of blocks away from CS Stars, at a family friend's place. Pleasantly surprised to hear we weren't that far from each other."
Though not seeing her didn't surprise him: a combination of paranoia and the need to recuperate from the injuries he received kept him indoors most of the time. The only reason why he went out was to run errands and combat his paranoia.
