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

"Either way works, I don't really mind whether people around can recognize me or not in my off-work hours." Edelweiss replied with a smile. Someone recognizing her during her more 'shady' work schedule was a problem, but the doubt if others are pinpointing her face as the leader of the Entertainers while she is taking a break wasn't something that caused her to fret over. "So, may you lead the way again?"

As she finished her explanation, Lasair stood up and offered her a hand. “Somewhere in between then; since I know a place a short walk from here that has an excellent variety of top shelf liquors.” And a guild leader should only have some of the best drinks in the city. Plus he enjoyed visiting the place from time to time. They had a good bouncer who kept wasn’t afraid to toss paying customers if they disturbed the peace.
The conversation on the way to the establishment was kept short and upon arriving, he held the door open for her with a short bow, nodding to the bouncer who obviously recognized the pointy hair of Lasair’s.

Alright, now this was highly amusing, and caused Edelweiss to smile in that way she did when she's trying really hard not to snicker. Out of all the people she knew (and met more times than just once or twice), very few made sure to treat her explicitly as a girl and even among them Lasair was probably the only one reached that level of chivalry with her. Not even Amon and Stephen hurried forward to hold doors open for her to pass and hold out hands for her unless there's some kind of explicit necessity. It was fun for a change.
Briefly glancing back and watching as Lasair was greeting the bouncer close to the place's entrance, Edelweiss took for herself the task of choosing seats for them. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem.

It was no problem at all that Edelweiss decided on the place to sit, especially given that Lasair would have asked her if she had a preference before moving towards any seat. Her choosing without any prompting simply skipped that step as the redheaded male followed her to the place she decided on. “Drinks are on me; what would you like to start off the night?” he asked with the usual flirty grin, keeping his eyes on her only and ignoring the other pretty ladies dotting the establishment. He had come here with one person, and it was only fair that all his attention be focused on that person only.

"Hmmm..." Edelweiss mused her options for a short moment. Admitedly, she isn't overly fond of beer - it was drinkable, but not something she particularly liked and certainly not something she'd ask for while not accompanied by a large group of friends. Scotch? Not in the mood. She wanted something sweeter. Wine? Nah, that could be good but maybe she's go for something stronger this time. Then her gaze finally zeroed in on a nice bottle of pale green liquid that could be seen exposed behind the barman's counter; nice brand too. It had been a while since last had a glass of 'the green fairy', and a little smile was plastered her lips. "Maybe a glass of absinthe."

A sparkle glinted in Lasair’s eyes as the infamous name reached his ears. Not ever bar carried the drink, but he had chosen a bar with everything. When was the last time he had it? Not knowing was reason enough to order it. A party of good times was sure to arise from that bottle. “This will certainly be a fun night then.” Surly she knew about the side effects of that drink. But even if she backed out, he wanted to have the wild ride associated with the green spirits.
“Two glasses of the green fairy,” he ordered after the waitress walked over. She gave the pair a curious look before breaking into a small grin. As she walked away to prepare the drinks, Lasair looked to Edel. “I do hope you enjoy the night.”

"Do I take it you also had it before today?" She asked, an amused grin on her face as she watched her redhead companion's reactions to her choice. Yes she knew of absinthe's little 'side-effects', indeed - guilty as charged. But she also seemed to have quite a high endurance to common alcohol anyway, so if she was truly intending to let a little loose this time (but not on too unbearable levels) it was the best choice to make. "Same to you." She replied to his comment of wishing her an enjoyable night.

“Perhaps once or twice,” he said in a tone that obviously conveyed his having it before. “Can hardly remember the first time. But I know it was fun.” A light chuckled sounded as he leaned back in his chair, regarding the guild leader with a mischievous eye. After her reply, whatever it may be, the server returned with a tray of objects. First she placed two odd looking glasses, both having a sort of compartment in the bottom that was topped with a notch leading to the rest of the open glass. The bottom part was filled with the green liquid first. Next, a decorative looking slotted spoon was placed on top of each glass and then a bowl of sugar cubes and a pitcher of water were set on the table as she turned and walked away. Lasair reached for the sugar first, taking only two cubes and placing them on his spoon. He’d leave Edel to reach for the water first, however.

"You might want to take it slowly this time then. Gets easier to fix things and remember them later." She snickered.
Soon later the waitress came back with their drinks, no no extra time to dwell in that. One might have been surprised at her having chose something as fancy as absinthe, but then again it was a drink served with sugar - and the universe agreed anything with sugar was likely an Edelweiss thing.
Edelweiss first placed one sugar cube over the spoon, then two, and surprisingly stopped at that very normal number to get the water and start to gingerly (no pun intended) pour it over the cubes and into the glass. Her titanic sugar tooth didn't look so obvious now to someone who didn't know her well. Once that was finished and the sugar dissolved, she passed the water for Lasair to take and used the spoon to stir any undissolved sugar in the bottom of her own glass before uttering a quick comment on "Cheers. And may the faeries not sweeo you away too soon." and taking a sip. "You've been rather quiet on the way here." Nothing wrong with that, it just didn't seem to be his usual. "Any thoughts you may share?"
Post by Lasair Landevier Lupen on Sept 15, 2015 6:46:26 GMT
He picked up the water and poured a slightly generous amount into his cup, dipping the spoon in to swirl it around as Edelweiss spoke. “The same to you,” he said to the cheer before taking a light drink. “Have I?” he asked both himself and her. “I didn’t realize, my apologies. I can’t say I have too much on my mind, just simple things. And yourself?” His voice was level and calm as he spoke, the taste from the drink sticking to his tongue as he regarded it. Not a bad drink in the slightest, but where would it lead him tonight?
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Sept 15, 2015 18:22:39 GMT
"A bit yes, when compared to your usual." She nodded, then snickered a bit. "No need to apologise, though. I guess everybody has the right to daydream or just have a quiet minute once in a while."
Then at his question about her own thoughts she shrugged. "I do have some things in mind rather constantly lately. But I'm afraid those might bore you, unless you don't mind hearing me blabber about people you possibly don't know?"

“Babble away,” he prompted, raising his glass into the air before taking another sip from it. That time he felt some of its affects, the room spinning a bit as he set the glass down. That stuff worked fast, at least it did for him tonight.
A quick glance around the bar revealed it to be mostly empty; probably a good thing since Edel wanted to talk about people. Whenever people were the topic, it was best to keep eavesdroppers to a minimum.

"Alright then..." Edelweiss relented with a shrug, then took another sip of the drink. It wasn't enough to make her feel any different yet; one of the downsides of having tolerance to alcohol is that very difficulty to get tipsy even while wanting to get a bit drunk. Perhaps when she's closer to finishing the glass, but until then she'd enjoy the moment.
"There's this girl called Zona who works around my district and sometimes babysits one of my youngest workers" A.K.A Eryn "and she's a nice person and all, got guts and a good head. But drat it does the woman get shot a lot! Hey Zona can you-- oh sorry you're recovering, nevermind. Hey Zona, it's been a while - oh sorry I was shot in the leg again. Zona why do you look like bloody swiss cheese?! I don't know how she even manages that. It's like she's walking around with an apple on her head and a sign written 'Hey I'm a living pinãta, wanna shoot and see if I drop candy?' or perhaps she's got a vocation for being a pincushion and is just living the dream. I wish I could tell her to be more careful, but alas, one can't just tell another person to stop being attractive to bullets." She rambled and finished let out a helpless sigh.

Lasair began giggling as Edelweiss spoke, and as she continued the giggles grew into whole laughter, which he stopped stifling as she finished speaking. “I’ve met Zona, yes. Not when she was riddled with wounds, however.” He took another sip of his drink before continuing, feeling in need of that liquid courage.
“If I may be honest about that damsel, she really is something else. Had a lovely night with her, one that was going oh so perfectly. But when we got to the highest point, that peak of wonderful enjoyment, she turned around and ruined it all, feeling the need to bring out her tragic past. Mind you this all took place with clothes on, but still. I’ve been wary of the lass since. Given that I know her interworkings and all that.” He took a larger sip of his drink, eyes fixed on an odd picture behind edelweiss as opposed to looking her in the eyes.

Edelweiss snorted. "It would have been more believable to imagine it happening with clothes on if you had mentioned it before the 'peak of wonderful enjoyment' part. But oh well..." She noticed he wasn't actually looking at her, even though his eyes were turned in her overall direction. Maybe he was already drunk, but it didn't seem to be it, at least not completely, and she in turn directed a concerned look at him. "...I don't think it'd be needed to be wary of Zona, not counting her natural magnetism for trouble, but how about you? You seem rather tense, more than I usually see you as... or maybe not tense, but sad. Care to share, Las? I promise I don't bite..." Unless he were a doughnut, then she would bite him.
