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 Viktor downed another third of his drink he nearly choked. and withdrew the glass to wipe his mouth on the back of his sleeve before grinning widely at Lasair. "Exciting? I wouldn't say that. Just a boring mechanic buuut I think a moonlit tour would be quite fun. I hear the clockwork tower's a nice place to go on night's like these," he winks and finishes off his drink before passing the glass to the barkeeper, gesturing him for another. "Where are your favorite places in Lodan? Want another drink?"

“What am I taking your breath away already?” He couldn’t help but laugh as the man choked, calming down as he recovered. Finishing his own glass he waved over the bartender. “Two of the same, on my tab this time.” Can’t let all the drinks go on one bill, what kind of gentleman would he be then? “I rather like the forest, but not at this hour no. That’s a place to be enjoyed in the sunlight when the shadows are sparse. The port is a nice place as well, if it’s not too crowded by ships of both the sea and sky. I believe the theater district is quite alive at this hour too and there’s always entertainment to be found there.” As the new drink arrived he drank more of it thoughtfully. There weren’t many places in the city he didn’t like actually.

"Took my breath away the moment you offered to buy my first drink," he laughs and accepts the second drink from the man behind the counter. "One more drink after this to make things fair. I'll pay for them. After that we can stop by the entertainment district since the port right now is filled with ships and I agree about the forest. Nice during the day but I've never seen a shadow beast and I don't want to chance on changing that just yet. "

“Oh? My apologies I really should give that back as soon as possible.” He winked and took a rather large drink from his glass. One more round; that could happen soon enough. “Some theater entertainment it is; it’ll just be a bit of a walk heading over that way.” Since they were, you know, in the hovel. But that didn’t matter now. The night could last forever if they did it right.

"You're welcome to keep it. I really don't mind. You're cute enough anyway," came the reply with a slight shrug of one of his shoulders as he lifted the drink in the hand opposite of the shoulder he shrugged with. "Theatre district indeed. Mind askin' where you live? I think after a certain point of time I should walk you back since, well, I hear really bad things sometime go down there when the crowds clear out. Wouldn't not want to see you again if something happened." Dang the conversation just got morbid so he took a long swig of his drink and grinned at Lasair. "Got any hobbies?"

Calling Lasair cute? Yup, he’s a keeper. The red head grinned at the comment, trying to think of one to match it when the conversation shifted. “I live in the Merchants district, but I can handle myself well enough at night. Please allow me to walk you home instead; I’d hate to see something happen to your handsome face.” Look at that, two replies in one phrase. His grin shifted to something a bit more mischievous as he drank from his glass again. “Hobbies? I like to read when I can find something interesting. Roaming bars is always fun.” And studying magic. But he could never mention that part, sadly.

"Oh, a flirt. Well, just so luck would have it, I also live in the merchant's district so we can walk each other home, eh?" Viktor continued to grin like made now especially with the compliment. Quickly he finished off the last of his drink then beckoned the barkeep for two more, knowing Lasair would not be too far behind. "On me." Nodding, the bar keeper presented them with two more glasses. "Reading? Hm, ain't much of a reader myself but we could always visit the local library another time--that is if you're up to it."

“That sounds like an excellent plan,” he replied, meaning it towards the walking each other home. Finishing his glass as the new one arrived, he picked this drink up and took a long swig of it. He was feeling that tingle of alcohol in the back of his brain, that buzzing that was oh no nice to enjoy. It meant that it would be very difficult for tonight to be anything but fun. “Sure if you’re up for it. Haven’t been to the library lately but it could be a fun trip. Maybe I can find a book on how to sweep you off your feet,”
Post by Viktor Croswell on Aug 9, 2015 23:06:12 GMT
"If there's going to be any sweeping," Viktor replied with raised brows in amusement. "I think it should be me sweeping you up, no?" The red head mechanic wasted no time with this last drink, taking several swigs to finish it but he did so quickly then stood from his stool to rummage around his pocket for coin to give the bar keeper for what he owed before stretching. "In all honesty though, only if you wanted to go. Otherwise we could always do something more fun. What else do you like besides readin'?"
Post by Lasair Landevier Lupen on Aug 9, 2015 23:20:48 GMT
Seeing the man finished his drink, Lasair did the same, shelling out his own money for roughly what all the drinks had cost. He might have over estimated, but that was okay. “I guess we’ll just have to see who exactly sweeps whom, not won’t we?” Walking over to the door, he held it open for his newfound companion before following him out. “I’m indifferent honestly. As for what else I like to do, well, I can’t really say.” He chose his tone carefully so that it stood somewhere between ‘I don’t do much else’ and ‘I don’t know if I can say it here.’ Viktor hadn’t dropped any cues about being ander or ander-friendly, but did confirm that he worked with tech, so it was better to be on the safe side and not share that information just yet.

"Oh ho, holding the door open as well? Ahh, I like you quite a lot Lasair." As he stepped out, he patted the other man on the shoulder then stuffed both his hands into the pocket of his jacket as he stood waiting. "Sounds like you got a secret by that tone in your voice. I propose a trade, huh? Tell me what it is and I'll," he paused, not really sure what to offer though his head buzzed the way it usually did when he drank a bit. A slow, goofy sort of smile spread on his lips as his brows shot up. "Could offer you a kiss if you're into that?"

“Seems a bit early in the night for that; and we haven’t even had out first date yet,” he joked for a moment, before biting his tongue. Well, if he was alright kissing another man, then chances were he was okay with anders. At least that’s what Lasair hoped. He reached up the scratch the back of his head, waiting a bit longer before continuing. “Well, uh, the only other thing I really do is, um, magic…” his voice trailed off as he glanced sideways, getting ready to cast and run if the worse case scenario happened.

"Dates, we could always have those later. Did you know in some countries they say hello with a kiss?" The mechanic slipped his hands out of his pocket and reached up to cup the back of Lasair's head before stepping into the similar of height man. Moving onto the balls of his feet so he would be taller than the other, he planted a kiss to the top of Lasair's head with a loud 'mwah' before stumbling back with a laugh. "Nah, nah, sorry, that was wrong of me," he said with a wave of his hand though still smiling. As he continued to move backwards, he forgot the steps and went tumbling backwards with arms flailing at his side. An 'oof' escaped him as he crashed on the ground then he groaned and rolled onto his side to get on his feet. "I'm okay! I'm okay. Did you say magic?" His lips formed an 'O' of surprise and his brows shot up once more. "That's pretty amazing," he replied with a nod as he dusted himself off. "My brother's allergic to magic users though. Say, which way to the theatre?"

His nervous smile was replaced by a real one when Viktor didn’t seem bothered by the revelation. In fact, he turned towards Lasair and grabbed his head, kissing it before falling backwards. The ander was going to jump forward to offer him a hand, but he stood up on his own quickly enough. “Nothing wrong with a friendly greeting,” he laughed a moment. “But please, allow me to return the favor.” Grabbing the mechanic’s hand, he brought it to his mouth and kissed it lightly before letting it fall back to his side. A brother being allergic to magic was an odd thing to hear, but it was brushed off in favor of a more entertaining topic. “I do believe the theater is this way. Shall we?” Offering an arm to Viktor he continued to grin.

Viktor watched the other with a small grin, his gold flecked, green eyes moving from his hand to the Lasair's face before canting his own head to the side. "A real gentleman, huh? First the drink, then the door, then this. I think I could get used to this," he declared and snagged Lasair's arm in his own to drag him off toward the designated district. "You smoke? Do you mind smoking at all? I got some special stuff--it's not really that special but depends on the smoker I guess."
