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
Howl tried to ignore Leo's vulgar remark. I know he's joking but still... "I wish I could spend an eternity reading it all. I find myself in here more and more often since I joined." Howl smiled and said "I would certainly love to have a Devil Dog as a pet but I would be worried about it mauling my face off." As Howl said this he looked over at Leo who was sleeping with a book over his face. He had no idea how that would be comfortable but he noticed that the book Leo was sleeping with, was a book that Howl had been looking for. "O-oh..." Howl said as he hesitantly pointed to Leo "I-I umm... That b-book..." Howl looked over to Emelo for help.

Emelo stared at the boy for a moment before turning to look at his brother. He raised and eyebrow some, confused about what the boy was trying to say until he said something about a book, "Ohhh...." Emelo said as he realized that the boy was trying to say. Walking over to Leo, Emelo scooped up the book and walked back over to the boy, "Is this what you needed?" He asked as he handed the book off.
"Hey! I was using that!" Leo said as he shot up in the chair and whipped around to glare at his brother. Just because he wasn't reading it didn't mean he wasn't using it.
"Leo there are tons of other books in this place. It is a library after all. You can find another book to use, just go grab one of mine." Emelo said as he turned back around to look at the boy, "Let me know how that one is! I wanted to read it since I saw it, I just haven't had time to yet, too many other books first." Emelo said with a smile and a light shrug.
With a huff Leo stood up and shoved his hands in his pockets as he looked up some, thanks to the skylights in the ceiling he noticed the sun was on its way down. Rolling his head some he turned on his heel and headed for the door, "Come on. We've been here long enough... We still have other things to do before the sun goes down." Leo said as he stopped at the door, waiting for his brother.
Emelo turned some, looking out one of the windows up and off to side of the large room. "Oh, yes, your right..." Emelo said as he began to make his way back to the table he was at, only to grab his bag and the books he was reading before heading off to the door as well. He stopped a moment only to see the boy standing there, "Hey... You wouldn't like to come with us would you?" Emelo asked with a smile, "We just have to grab some food for dinner, and hey if you don't have plans for the night or a place to stay you could come with us." Emelo said with a smile.
Leo turned to look at his brother with surprise in his face, and with a huff he looked at the door, "You can sleep on the couch if you want... I think we have some extra blankets and pillows." Leo said as he looked out the door, ready to go.
Howl smiled and took the book from Emelo "Thank you..." Howl said as he looked down. Howl then stood there looking at the twins packing up, unsure of what do. He froze when Emelo asked him to come with them. He had never done anything like that before. The more he thought about it the more he realized that he never actually had any friends. Howl never thought about it before because thats just how he grew up. Shakily he responded "I-I umm... Sure! Although I would want to intrude in your house. Ive got my own place to sleep" He put his book into his bag and walked to catch up with the twins.

"Oh if you don't have to stay, it was just a friendly offer. But you can at least stay for dinner!" Emelo said with a smile as he stood at the door with a few books in his hand and a bag in the other. "Hope you don't mind but we have to get some shopping done first, after all we do need food for dinner tonight." Emelo said with a smile.
Leo continued to look off and out of the door, only to let a small smirk appear on his lips as he glanced over at the boy, "We will be having steak tonight. Let us know if there is a special side you want to go with it, otherwise we have an idea of what will be going with it." Leo said as he continued to look out the door before he walked off.
Emelo let out a light sigh as he smiled at his brother, "If there is something you would like feel free to say it, we're open to anything." He said with a smile as he walked out of the room with the boy.
It took the group a little bit of time to get there but they all managed to get back to town with limited amounts of trips, slips, fumbles and falling flat on your face. Once in town the group made their way the merchants district and just stopped at the beginning of it's street. "Welcome to the merchant's district!" The two said in sync as they both looked back and forth, "Best place to find and buy what you need." The twins added with a smile.
Howl's eyes light up when Leo said they would have steak. "Oh really! I haven't had a good steak in a very long time." Howl said. With minor damage they arrived at the market. Howl looked around and wondered where they would be going first. He thought about how its funny that the twins are so different yet so similar. As they walked past a few stands he remembered something "Oh I remember my Mother always made mashed potatoes with steak, when we could get some. So could we have tho..." Howl stopped abruptly realizing he was too commanding and rude. He looked down "S-Sorry...."
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Dec 16, 2015 4:33:08 GMT
Emelo smiled as the boy began to ramble on about mashed potatoes, "I'm sure we can get some of those." He smiled, actually wanting some of those to eat as well. "Oh we could also get those things!" He added as he turned to his brother, and forgetting the name of the food, "You know those things that we always have with it, that sometimes goes on top of the steak or in with the peppers... Oh what was the name of them...They get golden when you cook them..." He added still blanking on the name.
Leo sighed as he knew what his brother was trying to say, "You talkin' about caramelized, sweet onions?" He said as he turned some and stopped at one of the local street stands, and began to look at what they had, waiting to see if what he said was correct.
"Yes! That's it! Those are so very good especially with the colored peppers we get." Emelo said as he began to think about the peppers and onions.
Leo shook his head some as he grabbed a few peppers and potatoes, looking around some for a few other things, "So..." He began as he made his way over to another stand, "I don't think we caught your name. I think it may be nice to at least know the name of the person who will be joining us for dinner." Leo said as he grabbed and looked at a few onions.
Howl listened confused as Emelo talked about caramelized and peppers "I don't believe i have ever has caramelized onions and peppers. But I would love to try them, then sound good" Howl said to no one in particular. He watched eagerly as Leo picked out some potatoes and peppers. Howl had not realized that his new friends didnt even know his name. I guess I just wasn't thinking about that in all the frenzy in the library. "Oh..." Howl said looking down " Im sorry... I hadn't realized.... Well my name is Howl. Its nice to meet you... Even though its a little late" He looked up as he said this, looking at his two partners.

"Oh don't worry about it." Emelo said with a smile, "And the onions are the best! If you cook them long enough they turn golden brown and taste really sweet, almost like caramel." Emelo added as he though of them, "And when you eat them with the cooked peppers- oh may they are the best thinks you could ever have!"
Leo smiled some as he shook his head, the things his brother could say, "He is right though, it is pretty darn good especially when they are cooked right." Leo said as he eyed his brother some.
"I know, I know. I said I would never go near another stove again, that's why I make up for it by shopping for most of the food." Emelo said as she shrugged some.
"You some how managed to not only burn water but you ruined a pre-made pie by under cooking the center of it and charring the outer edge. It was raw and burnt at the same time." Leo said with a smirk as he picked up another ingredient, paying for it before stuffing it into his bag. "You really are a horrible cook." He added with a smirk.
"I know, I can't cook but that's why you do! You should see it Howl he really knows how to cook! Man, is he good!" Emelo said as he bumped Howls shoulder some, emphasizing how good his brother was. "Though I can't cook he can. Just because we are twins doesn't mean we share everything." He said with a light smile.
Leo smiled and laughed a bit. What his brother said was more than true, at least the twin part that is.
Howl stared at Emelo "There is no way you could burn water.... How hot did you have it? Well anyways I don't think I'm as good of a cook as you but I have lasted a couple years on my own now, so I know how to cook fairly well. My Mom taught me some of her old recipes a long time ago too but I only remember a few of those." Howl smiled. "I wouldn't assume that you have everything in common. More like you each got something different. You are your own individual persons."

The two looked at one another when the boy said that, "Well your one of the first to say that." The two said in sync as they turned to go back to what they were doing.
"Nearly everyone we met always thought we were exactly the same." Emelo said as he looked over to his brother some. "We would get the same questions; Do you both like the same color?-" Emelo said.
"-You both must love the same foods." Leo continued, making it seem like the sentence never stopped, "Do you two dye your hair to match?-"
"-You two must both know how to do this. Are you two really inseparable?" Emelo continued, "Do you ever get mistaken for the other?"
"O God! That happens all the time!" Leo said with a bit of a sigh. "You would not believe how much that happens. Oh and ya can't forget about the question, do you both wear the some clothing?"
"Well that we actually do sometimes just because it can be fun." Emelo smiled.
"Oh ya, sometimes if ya get the right person you can mess with them pretty bad. It gets really fun." Leo smirked, grabbing and paying for the last bit of food they needed. "We get stuff like that all the time."
"So when something like that is said... Well it kind of makes us feel...-" Emelo paused looking for the right word before his took over.
"Normal. Like we both don't look like the other." Leo smiled lightly taking the food and shoving it into his bag before turning around, "Well come on, lets get home and cook this stuff up."
Howl looked down, he had no idea that it was so demeaning be a twin. "Well that's depressing..." Howl said as he looked down feeling awkward. Looking up Howl said "I'm so excited! I haven't eaten food like this in a long time. Thank you guys again, it means a lot."
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Feb 13, 2016 4:10:48 GMT
"No it's not depressing." Emelo said with a light and obviously fake smile, "It's just annoying. You get tired of answering the same questions all the time."
Leo nodded a bit before moving on to the boys second comment, "No problem." Leo said with a smile, "It's nice to have someone to eat with other than him all the time." Leo added, smirking some as he glanced over at his twin.
Emelo just smiled and shook his head some, "No it is nice to have someone else over." He said, this time with a real smile, "And hey, I think you will be the first one over to see our place." Emelo smiled.
"Ya, I think you are. So be grateful that we are lettin' you see the wonder that his our home." Leo smirked, obviously messing with the boy some.
"L come on, your going to scare him." Emelo said with a smile, turning back to Howl, "We should be there soon, it just a street off from the central square." Emelo said as the group walked, making their way to where they needed to go.
The group rounded the corner and walked about half way down the street before coming to a stop at a corner building. It was a light brown, brick building that seemed to have a few floors to it, two and a roof top terrace to be exact. The entrance was a nice one, one that only the higher up could afford, that had a few steps up to a nice and solid wooden door. The inside was just as nice as the outside, the whole place had beautiful wooden floors with large glass windows on the front and side of the house. Though the place wasn't wide it was long, and trailed back a bit with a stair way that went up the length of that room on the opposite side of the windows. The room was bright and filled with a few couches and chairs with a fireplace on the back wall. Next to that was a large and arched door way that opened up into the kitchen and dinning room, both filled with wonderful pieces of furniture, cookware, and dinning ware. On the side wall of the kitchen, where the stairs would have been if it continued into this room, were two more rooms, one being smaller than the other. The smaller of the two was just a simple cupboard with a nice solid door that hid it away, the other was a powder room that held a toilet, a vanity, and a mirror, all very shiny and consisting of high class material. Everything seemed very open and larger than it was, nice and bright too, and everything seemed to be rather clean as well, especially since two teenage boys lived there. This place seemed like a smaller version of where the nobles would possibly live.
"Well, welcome to our place." Leo said as he pushed the door open, popped his shoes off, and walked back into the kitchen.
"Make yourself at home." Emelo said with a smile as he did the same, just stopping before the arched doorway to turn back around to Howl, "We just ask that you take off your shoes." He added before turning and disappearing around the corner, heading off into the kitchen with his brother.
"O-Oh... I-I am ummm" Howl stuttered when leo joked with him. Howl looked down embarrassed "Ok lets hurry..."
Howl was surprised when he saw the large nice house in front of him. He hadn't known the twins were this wealthy but but still something about them... Howl pushed the thought aside. "Well you have a beautiful house" Howl said as they walked in the house. The twins both ran off immediately leaving Howl in the entrance of the large house. "Oh" Howl said as he saw the clean interior of the house. His words seemed to be swallowed up by the house.
Howl followed the twins into their kitchen. "You do really have a nice house... Is it only you to in here?" Howl half expected some other people to be living here. Howl awkwardly stood to the side and said "Could I help you?"

Leo stood with his back to the two as he worked on some of the food, preparing and getting it ready for cooking. He smiled some when he heard Howl ask about their place, "No, just us here."
"Ya. We got lucky. When we first got here this house was up for sale so we took it as soon as we could." Emelo said as he sat down at the table, motioning for Howl to do the same.
"And thanks for the offer but no." Leo added as he walked across the kitchen and grabbed something from one of the cabinets.
Emelo smiled some, "He likes to do that on his own. If we did help we would end up just getting in his way." Emelo smirked some, thinking back to some other times when he tried to help. "Oh you didn't want something to drink did you? I can at least get ya that."
Leo turned back around to work on the food, pulling out different pots and pans. Placing a cutting board down he began to cut up some of the food. His fingers moved fast, yet with incredible ease, not once having to worry about the knife cutting his finger. Once it was all cut, Leo pushed some of the food off the board and into a pan, sprinkling some seasonings on it before moving onto the meat. Leo looked to be in a trance, just focused on the food in front of him.
Because two heads are better than one.
