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

Zona smirked some as the girl said everything hurt, she knew that feeling way to well. Though the smirk left nearly as quickly as it came. "True but he is your father. He's bound to keep askin' till he gets the real answer. I would think tell him would be more for calmin' his nerves." Zona said as she turned the star over in her hand, "Or just freak him out." Zona thought, realizing it may be a bad thing to tell him. "That is true that ya weren't prepared but it's not like ya should have all yer stuff with ya 24-7. You do have another life outside of the guild. Though it is nice to always have somethin' on ya." Zona said as she looked over to the girl who was laying on the bed. "Besides it's not like you knew it was goin' to happen, otherwise it wouldn't have been a surprise attack."

Elaine was more worried about her mother's reaction than her father's. "What exactly do I say? There's a noble gallivanting the streets looking to put a bullet in me and do me in for good." She laughed unbelievably at what she said. "He's trained in whatever he's going but he isn't much of an assassin striking in daylight like that." Thunder boomed outside making the girl jump just before the rain poured. It was raining hard as well, drenching everything in a matter of seconds. Elaine put a hand over her side at the sudden movement. Now she was gonna be spooked by everything. "Well I suppose Mum's gonna stay where's she's at until this blows over." The girl grew restless at that. Footsteps came down the hall and her father rapped his knuckles on her doorframe rendering the girl silent. Standing in the doorway her father stared at her for a moment. "Your mother's home." He said quietly, as if not wanting to scare her. Elaine just nodded and realized he hadn't told her yet. Grunting her father left. "Come on, we might as well go back in there. Mum won't leave me alone when she finds out. By the way can I stay at your place for a day or two? I don't exactly want to be fussed over all week." Elaine also wanted to discuss this further but she knew Z would understand. The girl went back down the hall sticking close to Zona.

"Your guess is probably better than mine." Zona said as she shrugged her shoulders some, "You know what to say that would help put them at ease." Zona then turned some as she shoved the star back into her side bag, just as the rain started and just before the girls father stepped in. So Elaine's mother made it home before the storm, that was good to hear. Turning she began to head out staying next to Elaine in case she needed help. "Ya you can stay, though I think tonight we may have to stay here." Zona said as she shoved her hands in her pocket, "Keefe will want to stay for you and I would feel better if I were here... Just in case." Zona said as she looked ahead with a rather dead stare. Zona then thought to herself, "That bastards gonna pay."

"Thanks, and yes it'll be a few days. They aren't going to let me out of their sight for awhile." The girl would rather have someone here capable of putting the hurt on somebody since she couldn't. Elaine turned and went straight to the couch across from Keefe. She curled her legs up under her as she sat down and grabbed a pillow to hug. She could barely hear her parents downstairs greeting each other before it grew quiet. The girl enjoyed her last bit of freedom before she would be put under intensive surveillance for hours. Resting her chin on top of the pillow she looked around trying to come up with something to explain with and not arouse too much suspicion. Elaine gave Keefe a pained glance as she heard someone's light feet rushing up the steps closely followed by heavier footfalls. "Elaine!" Her mother called out rather frantically. The dark hair was the first thing the girl saw as her mother bolted in and tilted Elaine's head sideways examining her. Allowing her mum to fuss and exclaim she sat quietly casting a look over at her father. He shrugged and mouthed back, "Sorry she wouldn't wait." Victoria fired question after question leaving Elaine to only nod yes or no. After a moment she squirmed out of reach to the side and motioned for Z or Keefe to take a seat next to her and be of some protection. "Mum I'm fine!" Victoria made a noise insisting otherwise as her daughter moved away.

Zona followed Elaine into the room and stopped at the wall adjacent to the couch Elaine went to sit on. Leaning back she crossed her arms and put most of her weight on the wall. She didn't care for sitting down at other peoples houses, or when someone was in hers. Zona watched as the girls mother came running into the room, seeing how Elaine was doing in what Zona thought to be the typical mothering fashion. Zona just smiled as the girl looked at her for assistance, this was one fight Zona would not take part in, so instead she just stayed where she was and looked on with a smile.

Keefe smiled as both the girls came back into the room. He was happy to see the two of them, and even more so to see Elaine able to walk around as fine as she was. His smile soon fell some as Elaine looked at him with the pain in her face. He wished he could do something to help her, but sadly he had no clue on what to do. Jut then a woman who looked exactly like Elaine came darting into the room, soon followed by Elaine's father. Keefe guessed that the woman was her mother, not only from the look of the woman but from Elaine calling her 'mum'.
As he listened to the two talk Elaine seemed to motion for him to come sit by here, and a small smile broke out. Just as he thought about getting up her realized the girls father was still in the room... That may not be such a good idea just yet, especially since he hadn't even met the man officially. That's right they hadn't met yet. Standing up, Keefe walked over to the man, "I wanted to introduce myself soon but with everything that had happened..." Keefe said as he held out his hand, "My name is Alonzo Ruxton. But I go by Keefe too." He said with a smile.

Elaine took no remorse in making a highly exasperated noise as neither Keefe or Zona came to her aid. Victoria took the sound as a sign of pain and started her examination all over again. Elaine feebly fought her off shooting a glare at Z and mouthing the word 'traitor'. Then she shot the same evil look to Keefe for going to her father of all places. Who so happened to be even further away from her and the mothering attacker. She gave up trying to swat away hands and sunk down into the corner of the couch hiding behind the pillow. Her mother not even noticing her attempts to escape her clutches.
Charles chuckled at his daughter. He was like her in the way of attention, she didn't like it much. He turned to look at the tall, blonde boy requesting his acquaintance. "Pleasure to meet you Alonzo. Charles Anncroft." Charles shook the boys' hand firmly and gave him a protective look. This must have been the boy Elaine had told Victoria about awhile back. He seemed polite and respectful, but true to the fatherly code he was going to keep a very close eye on him. Charles' gaze left the boy for a moment to see his daughter sink down in the couch. "She disappeared." He said grinning before stepping forward to pry her mother away.
Victoria was pulled back and Elaine looked very relieved. She pushed herself back up slowly and shot a dirty look at the siblings again. 'Thanks for nothing.' She thought just as her mother spoke up. "What happened?"

Zona busted out laughing as she watched Elaine throw both her and her brother a dirty look. The girl should be happy her mother cares for her so much, it may be weird sometimes but that was the whole point of having a mother. Zona walked over to the girl and stood next to her, crossing her arms as she looked over to the girl, "Neither one of us can help ya here." Zona said with a smirk as she watched the girls father pull her mother off of her. This family was funny... She needed to come by more often. Just then her mother asked a question that Zona had been expecting. Zona then turned to Elaine, wondering what the girl was going to say.

Keefe shook the mans hand with a smile on his face the whole time, happy the man seemed ok with him. Turning some he noticed Mr. Anncroft say something about Elaine disappearing and to Keefe surprise she actually did. He smiled some as he watched everything that was happening, this seemed like a nice family. Just then a question came up that Keefe had no idea how to respond to, so instead he just looked over to Elaine with rather large eyes.
Post by Elaine Anncroft on Jul 31, 2015 2:50:01 GMT
Elaine grimaced at the question and shot daggers at Zona. Keefe wasn't exactly on her good list either right now. But despite it all she had already forgiven their treason. Taking as deep of a breath as she could manage the girl turned to her mother. "A guy targeted me and well, tried to kill me. But we, Zona and I, managed to run him off. And I doubt he will be back." Short and sweet. The girl held her fathers gaze more than she could her mothers. Who had varying degrees of terror, confusion, and anger throughout the entire three sentences. "Who?" Her father asked. Elaine shook her head. "He said his name was Gray but it wasn't his real one." Victoria's eyes grew wide and she went rather pale for a moment. Her daughter noticed and gave her a look that subtly said, "What do you know"? Elaine's mother hid the expression and opted for a concerned tone. "Well I'm glad your alright, are any of you hungry?" Charles looked down at his wife oddly. "Mum?" Elaine said tilting her head. "You alright?" Her mother nodded and began to back out of the room. "I'm fine dear, just rest up and I'll go get some tea." Then she disappeared. The feline shared a confused look with her father and her friends.
Zona watched and listened as the girl talked, "Wow straight to the point and the truth all the while." Zona thought as she stared at the family with a straight face. The girls mother went pale as Elaine mentioned the boys name, shortly after that she ran off. "What was that about..." Zona said as she looked at the girl with a face that said 'she knows something'. Zona had been around the block a few times and knows how one acts when they know something and don't want to tell. She then walked over to Elaine as stood closer to her, arms still crossed, "What do ya want to do?" She asked.

Keefe stood there, still shocked that he was there when that all happened. Just then Elaine's mother got up and left the room, she seemed like she didn't want to be there for some odd reason. "Ummm....." Keefe said as he looked in the direction that Elaine's mother went before he turned to look at Elaine. "Is everything ok?" Keefe asked as he stood there for a moment.

Elaine stared after her mother until her father crossed in front of her gaze as he followed her. The girl was now twice as confused and the questions weren't helping unravel her mind. Why did her mother look like she had seen a ghost? And why does the name Gray seem so significant? She just shook her head and slowly fell over on the couch being careful not to aggravate her wounds too badly. Her dark hair falling down over the edge of the sofa cushions. "I have no idea what to do or what just happened." Came a muffled reply. Thunder shook the house again. It was slow between clashes but when it did sound ir was strong and loud. Elaine pushed herself back up and slowly pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms delicately around them. Her green eyes turned dark as she looked to the window watching the rain pepper the glass. "Gray, whatever....whoever that is......she knows something." The girl murmured. There now seemed to be more questions than answers.

Zona watched as the girl flopped over and mumbled something. She then looked up to where the girl's mother and father just exited to. Walking across the room to where the two had just left Zona propped herself up against the wall as she did before, this time somewhat listening in to see what the girls parents were talking about. Though it wasn't exactly nice to do, something could be happening in there that could help the group of them find out what this Gray character was really all about. Looking back over to the girl, Zona just stood there quietly and waited for something to happen.

Keefe watched as everyone seemed to move around an leave. All he could do for now was look over to Elaine and wonder what had just happened. Slowly he walked over to where Elaine was and sat down on the couch next to her, that is after she sat back up. He didn't know what to say or do so he just stayed close to try and comfort her. He then gently set a hand on Elaine's good arm/shoulder, making sure not to touch it to hard, he didn't want to hurt her.
