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
Amon merely shrugged. "Just doing a job," he replied, taking out a fresh pad of paper.
"Well, this should be easier than making Eryn's arm...I can assume that you're done growing at least," he continued, bringing out a measuring tape as he walked around the counter to begin taking measurements.
"Now I had to make Eyrn's arm a little lighter, due to her being a kid and just learning Telekinesis, but you should be fine with a normally weighted leg," he explained as made comparisons between her intact leg and her stump. "Should have some extras in the back at least," he muttered, writing some notes.

"I know you can." The redhead commented simply to Zona's remark that she could walk, a half-smile forming on her face at that. The blue-haired gal had walked all the way from her house till there afterall. And of course she wanted to see Zona standing on both legs again, though saying she's more excited for it than Zona herself might be an exaggeration - she simply prefered keeping her workers and friends in the best state they could be.
Amon's comment about Eryn and Telekinesis brought up another thought from Edelweiss though, and she turned to look at Zona again. "Do you have any tiers on Telekinesis, Zona?" If yes, good, if not, might want to try and learn. It could be handy.

Zona straightened up as much as she could before Amon came over and began to measure. She stood looking here and there as the man worked, though something he said cough her attention, "Extras?" She mumbled to herself. Just as she was about to ask what he meant by that Edelweiss asked something about telekinesis. "Don't get me started on that..." Zona said with a sigh, just because she was a full blooded ander didn't mean she could work with magic as well as the next. "I know the first, but as it is I can barley lift a spoon, and its to drat expensive for me to get the next lesson for it..." Zona said as she began to slouch only to catch herself halfway to then stand back up. Turning her attention back to Amon, she looked over at him, "What did you mean by extra?" It really was bugging her that she didn't know what he was getting at by saying that. She had an idea of what it meant but she wanted to know for sure what he was thinking.

"Hm? Oh, nothing really," Amon replied. "In addition to clockwork toys, I specialize in making clockwork dolls," he continued, gesturing around the shop. "I had to make Eryn's arm special, but if I can, I'll see if I have any spare limbs for you to use."
He paused. "I probably should've asked about Eryn, but...what type of Ander are you and are you...?" he asked, the latter half more directed to Edel.

Edelweiss smiled a little at Zona's response before raising an eyebrow at the further comments she made. It was good she at least knew the first tier of Telekinesis, that was a start at the very least, but the blue-haired gal's wary look at Amon's mention of 'extras' made the redhead think of a sick child brought to a clinic and who's questioning about each and every thing they can spot the doctor doing. Considering the amount of toys around Amon should've been just talking of doll parts or similar-- aaand he responded exactly that a second later.
"Hm?" The question about Ander types was slightly unexpected though, for reasons other than the question in itself. "She's a Winged one... and you already saw me bleeding before." Back months ago, when he had sneaked into her father's old house and found her while she'd been injured. Inky black blood was a trait exclusive of Generals, other types bled red like humans did - it was the same reason why Edelweiss knew what race Eryn belonged to as well. Now, if Amon's question is a little more ...work related... rather than about race, there wasn't much she could say about Zona; she might not mind talking of herself to him, but spilling info about her guild members was something she still wasn't willing to do, and she knew he didn't tell her everything about his own work either anyway. All she could hint of, for the sake of avoiding having to buy another fake leg for Zona later again, was "...You might want to make this as resistent as possible though, she's not one who can stay quiet (or away from trouble) for long."

"Oh..." Zona said about ready to face palm, "I miss understood what you meant there... Thanks for the explanation though." Zona added as she shook her head some, she thought the man meant putting something in the back of the leg, not getting something from the back of the room. Zona froze up some as he then asked what type of ander she was, and then Edelweiss went and just blurted it out. "So I guess that whole 'privacy' thing is gone now hu. But ya, I got the tattoos to prove it." Zona said as she looked over to Edel only to glare at her some and give an eye roll at what the woman said next. "It's not like I walked into that... Hell I thought he forgot about me." Zona said as she turned back around and watched to see what Amon was doing.

"....Zona. You're a magic user getting a prosthetic limb, he needs a reference on that lest you'll be breaking the new leg within your first 10 minutes using it." Edelweiss stated bluntly, with the biggest neutral face she could pull off, because it's true.
"All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - John Dalberg-Acton
Amon merely gave an amused expression when Edel stated her own race that pretty much read "I know that ya doof."
In regards to Zona though, he had to take a moment to think, both to push away his jealousy (you have your own set of wings ya doof!) and figure out how to build Zona's leg.
"That, and it seems as though you'll be getting into more 'trouble' than Eryn would," he started, standing up. "I already knew you were an Ander...sorta hard to fool me," he said, waving his metal arm. "I just needed to know what type."
"...So...in this type of situation, I would probably still give almost any other person a normal, weighted leg; compared to the upper extremities, you don't actually need Telekinesis as you could simply use momentum. However..." he continued, deep in thought. After a brief moment, he moved to the back, opened the door, and stuck his head in the back room.
"Hey Abe, do we still have some of that light-weight metal? The strong stuff?"
"How much do you need?"
"Enough for a leg."
"...Should be enough...you're running low though."
He nodded and shut the door. "Back to what I was saying," he said as he moved back towards the girls. "I'm going to make it lighter; it should not only help you fly faster, but also be easier to control with Telekinesis. As I said, you normally wouldn't need that skill to move your leg, and I would prefer making it heavier so that you can use momentum to help you walk. That being said, I can see why you would need it, particularly when performing mid-air maneuvers," he said with a small smile. "Plus, it should be durable enough for your needs (truth be told, I really should experiment using that metal on the dolls). Sound good?"

"...You know that's my thing. Get something and break it ten minutes later." Zona smirked some as she turned her full attention to Amon. She Listened as he spoke and watched him as he walked off, she wondered slightly who was in the back that he was talking to, maybe it was one of those clockwork dolls he was talking about before. "Lightweight sounds great. I can work with that easier than a heavy one, though if it needs more weight to it I can work with that." Zona said as she shifted her weight around some. These crutches hurt your armpits....

"I think you can sit on the counter, he's not using all if it and there's no one else around." The redhead whispered when noticed Zona shifting her balance around. She can't read minds to know the blue-haired woman was mentally pondering about crutches-induced armpit pain, but she knew enough to figure standing still for a stretch of time when you couldn't use one of your legs could be quite uncomfortable. Then a second later Amon stopped talking to Abe and focused his attention back on them, so Edelweiss turned her focus back to what was being said, a tiny smile on her lips while just watching everything and not looking at all like she just told Zona she could sit on another person's counter.

Amon raised an eyebrow at Edel's subtle change in composure, but upon seeing Zona shifting around, his thoughts were moved to a different issue at hand.
"Why don't you prop yourself up here?" he asked, patting a spot on the counter. "I've got most of my standing measurements anyways, the rest we can do while you're sitting."
"So, how is it healing up?" he asked as he readied the rest of his measurements.

Amon's raised eyebrow was noticed, but not commented on... until he suggested the exact same thing she had. And Edelweiss had to lift a hand to her mouth to stiff a snort. "See, I told you."

Just as Zona was about to reply to what Edelweiss said Amon chimed in and said nearly the same thing. Zona gave a huff after Edel gave hers, she wouldn't normally sit on some random guys counter, but... "Thanks..." Zona said as she made her way over to the counter, setting her crutches down on the side of the counter before hopping around, placing her hands on the counter and jumping up some, landing on the counter in one try. Zona made herself comfortable as she let her good leg hang down. She looked down at her stump before turning her attention back to Amon, after all he did ask a question. "Well I'm normally a quick healer due to my blood line, but for some reason this is taking a bit time to heal... I can finally touch it now without having pain shoot up through my body." Zona said as she placed a hand on it, as if to prove a point to them, but really more to herself. "I think its good to go but, hey, I ain't no doctor..." Zona said with a shrug and a slight smirk, might as well make the best of this.

"...I see..." Amon replied, continuing to make the final set of measurements while being careful of Zona's stump.
"Did you see Elowyss, or at least Vieka? If not, I would highly recommend it," he said as he made the final set of notes. "They should be able to help the healing process...unless you have your own set of doctors in the Entertainment Guild..."

"Elowyss, yes. Back when it first happened." The redhead answered with a nod. As much as she was aware of Vieka's skills and trusted the masked woman to do a good job, she could still recall the last time she paid a visit to her bringing along someone in need of medical treatment - and she'd rather avoid having her friends feeling like they're being a bother. Elowyss, on the other hand, seemed happy to help an Ander in need; Edelweiss knew both women meant well, it was just a matter of pleasantness (and geographic proximity from where Zona had been hurt).
"-And- we have have our own sets of doctors in CAEsAL too. Couldn't fare well for long without them, could we? Everyone needs a medic once in a while."
