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

"It could be that." Zona said as she looked over to the girl, she seemed worried in a way, "But after thinking about it, it may not be his son. It could just be some one he hired, told him that if anyone asked his name say it was Gray. Ya know so that you could tell you mother that and send everyone into a panic." Zona said, unsure which was really the true case. Zona then turned to where her parents used to be and looked into the kitchen, still no one there. "Do ya think they are ok? I haven't heard a word since they left, like not even foot steps, nothin'." She said wondering if they should go and see how they were doing down there.

"Lets...hope that's true." Elaine mumbled leaning back slowly in her seat. If that was true it worked, her mother flipped from what she saw in her face. That was the same expression Elaine had when she was frightened or terrified. Panic mode seemed to be a decent mood to be in right now. 'Why couldn't I have been faster or something?' The girl screamed in her head, maybe then she wouldn't stuck at home like a sitting duck. She wanted to go out hunting the man who did this. Her green eyes drifted to the stairs again."They're probably in the back room talking. You won't hear them then." Elaine said. They might be able to hear something from the kitchen. The girl rocked forward to gain momentum before vaulting to her feet carefully. She did not want to stand merely on her own. "Come on." She waddled her way out into the hall. "The next question is why is he hiring people to kill me? Like why not just come himself to see Mum?" As bad as that would have been, it would have been logical.
"Well what if he doesn't want to see your mother?" Zona said as she shrugged her shoulders and shoved her hands in her pockets, following the girl out of the room and into the hallway. "What if he just wanted to teach her a lesson in a way." Zona said as she thought about how to word everything, "Like rather than come up and talk or do somethin' to your mother he just wanted to get to her emotionally. He knew that if anythin' happened to you yer parents were bound to flip out. Maybe for him, this is his way of punishin' your mother for doin' somethin' he didn't like." Zona said as she walked behind the girl, keeping a close eye on her to make sure nothing would happen, but there if something did.

"It's been twenty something years right? Since he would have seen her, that is if this was before the fire. Why...would you hold a grudge for twenty years? What could have been so bad?" Elaine shook her head, her hair bouncing as she did so, and lowered herself in a chair. She sat there thinking intently. Maybe he was kin to one of the lights she had put out on a job. But she hadn't done that many, just a few here and there when she could. She didn't enjoy it but it was the path she had chosen for her own personal reasons. "Could be a guy in touch with a Slip." Elaine had started calling the targets she got slips. It made sense, you got it from a slip of paper. But before Zona gave her whatever look was going to come next she explained. "Targets." The dark haired girl poked gingerly at her side. Making a face when it spiked up in pain, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been she supposed.

"Oh that's her word for the jobs they had to do." Zona thought as the girl said the word slip and them said what she meant. "No I don't think it was that." Zona said as she found another wall and leaned up against it, "If so that would mean someone was careless about how they handled somethin', and even if they were careless someone would have taken care of them before anythin' like this would have happened." Zona said hoping the girl remembered the rules of the guild. "No I think this is a grudge that has been held for several years." She said as she looked around some.

Elaine looked up with a flat expression trying to judge if Z had heard about what happened her first night. Heck she had met Zona that night, maybe she was the one who told. The girl shrugged, it didn't matter, she'd screwed it up. Kinda served her right. And after getting chewed out by Edel you'd have to be as dumb as a box of rocks to forget the rules. But despite all lengths taken to be careful things still happen. "I know, I guess I would rather it be something like that because I could handle that. I don't know exactly how to manage a grudge-holding ghost of the past with a hired killer for a pet. Not your average assassin problem." Elaine stared at the one knot on the tabletop. It was shaped a bit like a turtle on its back from where she was sitting. "One good thing I guess is he thinks I'm dead. So maybe that can give us the element of surprise. Cause I certainly plan to look into this." She confirmed more for her own encouragement. Over twenty years of lapses and loops in history to be pieced together.

"True it ain't your average assassin but at the same time this may work to our favor." Zona said as she closed her eyes and pulled her hands out of her pocket and crossed them over her chest. "Not only can we use your 'death' but with information we could get from your mother we would have some insight into some of his weaknesses. That is we need to make sure this is the guy we want." She said as she continued to have her eyes closed, somewhat planning what they should do.

The girl looked up curious. The only problem with this plan is getting her mother to talk. Victoria was stubborn. "That's like asking Tilly to move out of her favorite sun spot because you want to sit there." The teen mumbled. Although they did need to know the information. "Lets hold off asking until I get a little healed up." She said holding her hand up to stop any of Zona's protests. "I am not asking her when she's all panicky and obviously trying to be a little secretive. When she calms down." Motioning with her hand to the hall, she said, "I assume your staying the night. Blankets are in there. You can stay on the couch, make a pallet on the floor, or just do whatever you like. I'm sorry we don't have a guest bedroom. Don't actually get guests too often." Elaine grinned at Zona in a childish way.
Zona chuckled some at the girls comment, "That's when I just push her off." Zona said with a light and small smile. Looking up she listened to the girl as she held a hand up to her, did Elaine think she would have protested? Once the girl was done talking and Zona turned back to her after looking over to where the blankets and things were she pushed off the wall some. "Though I want to get this done now and know what there is to know, I agree with ya. She wouldn't tell everythin' she knows now, not only because she wouldn't want to but because her mood and what not wouldn't let her. Your mind does stuff to ya when your under pressure. I think it would be best to wait a bit." Zona said as she walked past the girl over to where the blankets were, grabbing a few and walking back over to the girl, "And yes you can assume I'm stayin' the night." She said with a smirk as she walked back into the other room.

Elaine nodded. Zona agreed and was staying. So the girl felt a little safer to have someone there who could kick butt. She obviously couldn't. While Zona disappeared into the other room Elaine got up slowly, painfully, and went to her own room. The door creaked as she pushed it open. Walking barefoot across the floor she sat down on the edge of her bed. A sparkle of reflected light caught her attention. A glass does stood on her nightstand staring at her. Elaine smiled a bit. Her dad needed to put a stronger bandage around her side to keep her from hurting herself even more tonight. Elaine began to plan on how to get information out of her mother.
Meanwhile in the wealthy side of Lodan...... Terrance staggered his way into the servant door of the manor holding his shirt to his wounded hand. Drat the woman who shot him with the bloody arrow. He'd kill her next. But as long as the feline girl was gone all was well. As he entered in the servants door he saw many of them look up and gasp. "Master Terrance!" They cried mortified. "Get Priscilla." He ordered. The nurse of the household. "I will be in my father's chambers." Terrance made his way solemnly to the large oak door leading to the study. He knocked three times before someone grumbled."Come in." The door opened and in he went trying to stand up straight. Injured but dignified. "The deed is done." He grit out thought the pain. The man at the desk with broad shoulders and black clean cut hair looked up. The room was dim, causing his icy blue eyes to glare out of the darkness. "Good... Now we move on the the head of the family."
