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

“I wouldn’t call the army barracks exciting given the recent event there, but I suppose the other districts can be rather fun in the right setting.” He gave her a light smile, remembering how she had been present for that dramatic thing. They had both made it out alive though.
Taking a step forward, he gestured for her to follow. “I know this one place not far from here. It’s a little patio. Can be crowed sometimes but maybe we’ll be lucky and there’s an open spot.” The sitting space was limited to begin with there, but at least there weren’t so many peddlers tying to shove wares at you in the open space.

"Fair enough." She nodded. "Can't deny it gave quite a few rushes of adrenalin, though not in the most pleasant of ways." She could remember being at the Barracks or nearby there in rather amusing circunstances some times before, but those times were all old enough to have happened before Skye's incrimination and arrest. And telling him to not blame a place for the people who exploded it would be silly; that same place had only existed because of the very people who exploded it to begin with.
"Well lets check this pation then. My day has been pretty lucky so far."

“Off we go then.” He picked up the pace a little, hoping to get there before the wind stole all the heat from their snacks. “Lucky how?” Pushing through the crowd took some of his attention away from the conversation, but not all. He was eager to take a bit of his pie, not to mention have a calm conversation with someone who was excellent company in more ways than one.

"Clear sky, fresh breeze, tranquil day, and a pleasant unexpected meeting (also I got a free snack and that you can't deny)." She replied with a snicker while they walked and, spotting a small space that could fit two people sitting that was still not occupied she slid amid and past the crowd to take take spot. And made sure to rest a leg up to fill the remaining space till Lasair catches up so he could sit down too.

Dashing forward, he caught up with her and sat down, reaching for his pie a moment later. “You’ve had a lucky day indeed. I’d say my own day has been nice because I’m fortunate to have run into someone as lovely as yourself.”

"You're very good with flattery, I'll give you that." She stated with a grin. "....And I think we actually got our pie slices swtched." She stared down at her own slice, squinting her eyes at it; it was good, just not apple. She could even see the blueberries.

Pulling the slice of pie away from his face, he handed it to her without a glance at it. “Good thing you said something, I was about to take a bite of yours,” he chuckled. “You can keep both if you like, or still give me mine. Some people are odd about sharing food.” He honestly didn’t care any way about whether or not someone shared something with him, but others did and he wanted to be considerate.
“How’s work been?” he asked next, hoping to strike up a conversation, even if it’s only a light one.

"Nah, I won't take your food away from you." Edelweiss made a dismissive gesture of hand and held out his slice for him while taking her own back. Now that was better. "Good thing I had only taken a small bite, wouldn't want you to end up with just half a slice."
At the question about her work she shrugged. "My work has its ups and downs, as expected of a large guild. But on the amusing notes, one of my trainee acrobats will put up her first show soon, and do you remember the grumpy cat person I mentioned once before? He's been hoarding actual cats, it's kind of cute." Although admitedly she was rather responsible for the last 'batch' of kittens Stephen had got his hand onto. "What about your work?"

With a smile he accepted his pie and took a bite out of it, tasting the blueberry clearly. “Her first show? That’ll be exciting. As for cat man, hmm, maybe I should bring him a puppy whenever I get around to meeting him.” He munched on another bite of the pie before continuing. “Do you have any plans for the rest of the evening?”
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Aug 21, 2015 18:03:36 GMT
"Somehow I don't really think a puppy would make him very happy... He's not much of a dog person. " She told with an awkward chuckle, remembering that time when Stephen had even tried to sneak her own cat out of her house with him after a visit. "Hm, I should have some work to do at night, but have no plans for till it's dark. Do you have anything in mind?"

He chuckled. “Yup. I’ll have to give him a puppy some time. Just to see what he does with it. I might keep the little guy if sir cat doesn't like it though.” Looking towards the crowd, he was kind of amused to see all the different people hurrying about in all the different ways. One running this way as mechanical parts were falling out of his arms, another tugging a child along who wouldn’t stop crying, and another still who stood in the middle of everyone and tried to sell his wares. There was always something to if you knew what you wanted to look for.
“Me? I was just hoping to find some nice company to spend the evening with. Perhaps find myself at a bar. That tends to happen.” A light smile was on his face as he shrugged, biting off the last of his pie.

At those first comments Edelweiss coouldn't help but sigh. "Just please don't tease him too much." Because apparently everyone (even the people who didn't even know him!) wanting to tease Stephen was as natural as the sun rising every morning; while the act itself was a bit amusing and the redhead found herself also doing that occasionally, there should be a limit to it. And so not helped her little unspoken quest of getting him more friends either. Her eyes zeroed in into the scene of someone tugging a crying child around. Yeah, that suited her previous thoughts quite a bit.
Then a second later she realized Lasair had started replying to her prior question and she turned her attention back to him, ending up snickering at what she heard last. A bar, huh? She wasn't sure what she had expected his answer to be, but that sounded somewhat fitting for him. "Well might be a bit early to call today evening still, but we can go have a drink, why not... I still owe you that from back when we went to see my guild's dorms." Since back then they ended up skipping any trips to anywhere else after those plans being interrupted by icecream.

“It’s not everyday that you hear about a man who is like a cat and also gathers cats. My apologizes if my teasing should be limited. I can adjust for that.” He certainly didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes; especially anyone who had a chance of being similar to a certain blue haired lady. Maybe he should keep the puppy at home.
As he heard her response to his plans, a flirty smile came to his face, but only a light one. “The impressive Edelweiss will join me for a drink? Perhaps this is my lucky day as well. But please don’t feel like you owe me for anything. That matter is in the past and not a worry of mine.”
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Aug 22, 2015 5:55:56 GMT
"I offered it out of my own free will back then, you know. And it might be fun." She grinned, though she either seemed to not notice the flirty smile or not mind it. "I do hope you have a place in mind though? I don't know the bars of this District very well, unless you'd like to go somewhere in the Theater District instead."

Lasair rubbed his chin for a moment, contemplating the nearby places. “Well, would you rather go someplace where you may be recognized? If not, I know of a place not too far from here that should be suitable.” He slipped his hands behind his head, leaning on them but not leaning more than a little bit backwards. Despite his nervousness, he was also rather excited. It would just be better not to obviously show it right now. Not yet at least.
