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

Open to Lasair Landevier Lupen Edelweiss felt tempted to start humming as walked down the streets of the Merchants District, taking in the sights and looking at the clocks and other tech gadgets through the shops' showcases - all protected from her Ander blood by a barrier of thin glass. There wasn't a reason why she was in such a good mood that day, she simply woke up like that and thought it's be a nice day to take a walk. Amon had told her he'd be absent for a while to work on his mysterious projects, but it didn't stop her from walking by his District, just watching things carefree and appreciating the view.
It had been a while since the last time she did something simple like that, and up to this point she was not regretting the decision of going out now.

Lasair’s typical day started at noon and never exactly ended. Today was no different. When the sun was highest in the sky, it shined on his face and brought him back to the waking world. Today he decided to wear some more casual clothes; a thin shirt and a light vest, and then headed out into the city. Where would he find himself today? No one knows—not even he.
Rubbing his eyes as they adjusted to the light, he walked down the street with the usual spring in his step and carefree smile on his face. His eyes darted to any pair that landed on him, giving them a small nod. Many of the neighbors were familiar with him, especially the sons and daughters of the neighbors, but few ever dared to speak with him. He was a no good tomcat in the eyes of their parents. Which was fine, let them think that. It wouldn’t stop him from sending a friendly smile in their direction.
As he rounded the corner, a familiar face was spotted in the crowd, walking leisurely, her head hardly visible above the other busy bodies. But the glimpse was all he needed to walk up to her, take a bow, and present a beaming smile. “Fancy seeing you here.”

She turned around when heard a voice that seemed to be talking to her, and the man's fiery ginger hair made it blatantly easy for her to spot him. "Ah, hi Lasair. Good afternoon." She greeted back with a smile that was about the same, though the people around might see as much more innocent than his. Hm, when had been the last time they met? Not counting the thing about Skye, it had been at Danny's house, probably... that'd be make it a month go. And even so that was a business talk too, and he had been half-sleeping most of time. "It's been a while since we last met... casually, at least. Are you working or out for stroll?"
Edelweiss wasn't in her typical work clothes herself, but the attire was still quite fitting for her usual: midnight blue pants, black boots, a white shirt with fit dark vest over it. No ties this time, unless one counted the hairtie keeping her red locks held in a low ponytail.

He turned to walk beside her, the same happy expression on his face. “I’m not working,” was all he said for her question. “Are you busy with anything? Do you mind if I accompany you for a time? Perhaps we could get some more of those sweets you like.” The street ahead of them wasn’t too crowded as he looked towards it, thinking over how far away the closest bakery was.

She opened her mouth about to respond to that first reply of his, then switched to trying to reply to that following question of if she was busy, but he just kept talking nonstop and at the end she could just stand there and wait till he had finished speaking. On one side, it was kind of amusing; on another, all that eagerness to accompany her around seemed almost desperated... was he really that lonely? Well, bad it wouldn't do.
"Alright I'll reply to this in order:" She said with a small laugh, seeing that he was already offering her his arm. "No, no, and yes - no I'm not busy, no I don't mind having company, and yes I'll accept that treat." No way she was going to pass free sweets, no matter how random the offer might be. "So, where shall we be going?"

Oops, maybe he had gotten a little carried away with his combo of questions. But she still smiled and even laughed a little, so it was okay. Chuckling himself a little, he scratched the back of his head and replied to her with a calm tone. “Forgot to be a gentleman and allow the guest appropriate time to answer before the next question was presented. My apologies” He refrained from using ‘lady’ and put ‘guest’ instead as he remembered how Edel liked to dance on the border.
After giving her more than enough time to reply to that, he answered her question. “There’s a small bakery nearby, if you’d like to stop there first.”

"Anywhere's fine." Edelweiss shrugged. "It's nice meeting for something other than business. When was it the last time? Straight back when we first met only?"

They began walking forward then, towards the bakery nearby. “Well, I didn’t think we were meeting for business that second time, but it ended up happening anyway.” A light chuckle followed along with a pause. “I suppose it was only the first time. I hope we’re not doomed to always meet on business.”

"Well considering we did bump into each other now, I'd guess you don't need to worry about that." She commented while offering him a smile. Just like her case of people liking to occasionally feed her; she had absolutely no idea why that kept happening, but also had no reasons to complain.
"I guess I had forgotten for a moment that you live in this District. But if you want to actually have us to meet other times you can just send me a message."

“I wouldn’t want to trouble you. Surely you must be busy with your work.” He stepped in front of her for a moment to hold the door open, the scent of fresh baked goods wafting out from it. “After you,” he chimed before walking in behind her. The place was rather small, not much room to walk around, but they had all their goods out on display. One would need only to point and pay and it could be theirs. "Would you like doughnuts like you had last time, or another treat today?"
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Aug 20, 2015 5:11:46 GMT
"Of course I get busy, but I'm never too busy for a friend." She chuckled. What kind of workaholic he thought she is that she couldn't even take a couple hours of free time to see someone? "If you call me in a time I really can't come we'll just have to find time later. Mostly my morning have been free lately."
She eyed the bakery's display for a moment before replying. While she still did love doughnuts as her unconditional favorite sweet, it was good to vary once in a while... "Maybe a pie slice this time."

Taking one short step he stood next to here, eyeing the pies himself. “They do look good today. I think I’ll have blueberry; and you?” Another person entered the shop after them, causing Lasair to squeeze rather close to Edel to allow them to pass by. He looked the other way from her, clearing his throat when he could step away. “Perhaps I will send you a message sometime then. If for no reason other than to wish you an easy day of work.”

"Apple for me--- uh." She had started saying when suddenly there was a Lasair mushed against her back. Turning to see what had caused that and seeing both the newcomer person passing by and the face her current companion was pulling though, it was really, really hard not to laugh.
"May you please not squeeze my behind, good sir?" She said with a bit of a light teasing tone and rolled her eyes before giving him a calming pat on the shoulder. "Lets just pay for the pies and see where we can eat them."

The baker had heard their orders and cut the according pies, handing to the pair while Lasair dug out his wallet. His face had turned a light shade of red from her little tease, but he was shrugging it off. As she said; pay and get out. Which is what he did, taking his slice and walking outside, holding the door open for her again.
A gentle breeze blew through as the door closed behind them with a soft ‘tink’ sound. “Any place you’d like to go? It is a big district after all. Not as exciting as the theater, but it’s still alive in its own way.” He gazed out over the crowd that seemed to move in every direction all at once, the color fading from his face.

"I do believe all of Lodan districts are equally exciting, just in different ways... but I don't have anywhere in mind at the moment." Not like she could go till Amon's shop and offer him pie, he would not be there. All other places in the Merchants District her mind fetched for her, both the ones she had been at or just heard of before, were really too random for someone who's just looking for a place to have a snack. A backalley place that disguised Anders, a magic healer, bookstores, three different bakeries... "Do you have any suggestions?"
