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 all! (Special invitation to Zona K. Noakes) Howl groaned and rolled over in bed. Sleepily he slowly opened his eyes and slid out of bed. Howl shuffled over to his oven and put a piece of bread inside to make toast. While it was cooking Howl went to go get dressed. While He was eating he thought about what he wanted to do today. He looked at the beautiful morning outside and decided to do the rare thing; to go on a walk in the merchant district. Normally when he went out, he would go directly to where he needed. But today he decided to walk around a bit more and take his time. Howl took a deep breath, stepped out the door, and started on his way.

Zona was finally getting used to her new leg, new clothing, and well... new everything. After what happened she seemed to be seeing everything in a different light. Though her personality never changed her outlook on life really did. Maybe, just maybe, offing Cyran helped lighten a loud that she had been carrying inside all these long years. "MMEEEOOOOWWWWW!!!!" Zona came crashing back into reality as she literally crashed into someone. Tilly jumped from her shoulder just before the impact as she let out a loud meow, in the small hope of stopping Zona, but alas... it was too late.
"Meeooww..." Tilly added as she sat on the ground before walking over to Zona who was also on the ground. She must have been walking faster than she expected or she still wasn't used to the fake leg. Less traction and stability when hit after all. "Sorry about that." She said with a bit of a smile as she rubbed the back of her head. "I just got lost in thought I guess." She added as Tilly jumped up and back onto her shoulder, "Meoow meoo, Meeeoooww meow." Tilly grumbled rather angrily. "Oh would you shut up. I never said you had to go with me, and besides... You can always go back home." Zona said with a smirk as she looked over some to the cat on her shoulder only to see Tilly give a huff before nearly laying down on her shoulder. "That's what I thought." She added with a smirk.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
Before Howl even got a couple feet away he was greeted with a pleasant crash and fell onto the floor. "Oh s-sorry" he apologized. He picked himself of up and dusted himself off. He looked at the guy who had crashed into him. Except that it wasn't a guy it was strange girl with tattoos talking to a strange cat. Unsure of what to do or to say, he watched as the girl seemed to argue with her cat.
Howl noticed that he no longer had his staff with him. As he looked around for it saw it somehow ended up underneath the scary girl. "I-I.... U-ummm" Howl mumbled as he didn't know how to ask.

"Oh sorry about that. She's insane." Zona said as she noticed the boy seemed a bit thrown off by what just happened. "Hey everythin' ok?" She asked, seeing as how the boy stammered, was he asking for something and just didn't know how, just then Zona felt something. "What the..." She said as she turned around some and stood up, noticing she had landed on a large stick. Picking it up she looked at it a moment before connecting the dots, "This your stick?" She asked as she held it out some. Tilly just held onto the girls shoulder as she moved about.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
"I-I ummm.... Yes, T-Thank you" Howl said as he reached to take back his staff. The strange lady standing in front of him seemed nice enough, although her tattoos and cat were off putting. Howl had no idea how the strange girl and cat could communicate, but it seemed like they had an interesting relationship.
Realizing that he had other things to do and this was getting awkward, Howl said "I-Im sorry but I must be g-going now" As he rushed away, not realizing that he had also dropped his notebook.

Zona stood there wide eyed as the boy seemed to run off. Tilting her head some she watched as the boy walked off, shrugging a bit in the process. Tilly jumped down from Zona's shoulder and began to paw at the notebook that was laying on the ground. "What's that..." Zona said as she bent down and picked the book up, turning it over in her hand some as she looked it over before running a bit to catch up with the boy, "Hey! I think you dropped this too." Zona said as she caught up to the boy and tapped him on the shoulder. "And no need to run off, it's not like I'm gonna bite." Zona said with a light smirk.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
As Howl was walking away he happy to be getting on his was and be away from that scary girl. Until he jumped when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Howl turned around and saw the strange girl standing there with her hand extended to give Howl his notebook. "Oh t-thank you." Howl realized that it showed the he was Ander "You didn't read it.... Did you?" Howl asked nervously. I hope she is Ander or just didn't read it. Howl knew very clearly what would happened to him if he was discovered.

Zona stared at the boy for a moment with a bit of question to her face before losing it and making it seem like she had no emotion what-so-ever. "Yes, of course I read the entire thing within the 60 second it took you to walk over to here." Zona said sarcastically before letting a small smirk appear on her face, "No of course I didn't read it." She said as she shook her head some, "Though I got to say you got me intrigued now. Got some deep dark secret in there?" She added with a smile, clearly messing with the boy, and slightly wanting to know what the boy was hiding. "The name is Zona." She said deciding it was best to change the subject before the boy went running off again, "I can show ya around the city if ya like. I know this place like the back of my hand." She added with a smirked as she placed a hand on her hip.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
Howl stared at her wide eyed as it seemed to take forever for her to answer. When she final did Howl hoped that she was being sarcastic.
Howl was glad when the scary girl final decided to change the subject from his notebook. "A-Actually I think I'm bette...er... Ok w-without..." Howl stuttered as he tried to get away. Just calm down. "O-Oh why not.... S-Sure." He decided as he surrendered to this scary lady. "I was headed to go get some groceries. Oh and my name is Howl"

"Nice to meet ya." Zona said with a smile, "I know of a few stands around here, if ya don't want that there is an actual store that has nearly anything ya need, though if ya want and meats or things like that you'll need to go to a different place." Zona said as she turned some and began to walk off, stopping for a moment only to turn to make sure the boy was following, "So what made you come here at a time like this?" Zona asked, trying to make small talk.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
Howl had to walk a bit fast in order to keep up with Zona. Once he caught up Zona asked him a question and he responded "O-Oh... Ummm I guess..." Howl scratched his head unsure of what say "I have no idea. I mean I've lived here my whole life, if that answers it. I haven't really experienced anything like this... Im only 16 after all" Howl looked up and noticed that they were nearing the market. "I dont need to much just some potatos and things. Oh if you want to get anything I would be happy to pay. After all you are taking me." Howl said

Zona turned to Howl and stared at him for a moment, "Really? You've lived her you whole life?" She said as she continued to stare at the boy. "Sorry, don't mean to stare, but I've just never seen ya around before. Were you just like stuck in your house your whole life or what?" Zona asked as she shoved her hands in her pocket, before realizing that the guy offered to buy something for her. Smiling some she looked up at some of the stands, "And I may just have to take ya up on that offer." Smiling she began to walk off, "There is a good produce stand just over there, they have good potatoes."
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
Howl looked down feeling ashamed for some reason. Howl looked down "Yes... I have lived here my whole life. It's just that I don't really do much." Howl looked over at Zona suddenly regretting offering to buy somethings for her. "L-Lets not get carried away here..." Howl said as they arrived to produce station. He shuffled around the potatoes and picked out a few that he liked and paid. "Thank you" he mumbled to the vendor. On their way to the next stand Howl looked down and noticed that Zona was walking weirdly "If you don't mind me asking, what's with your leg?"
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Dec 12, 2015 18:09:16 GMT
"Hey your the one who offered." Zona said with a shrug and a smile, only to get caught off guard when the boy asked about her leg, "Hmm, my leg?" She questioned as she looked down at her left one, realizing he must have been asking about the other one. "Oh, my leg." Zona said with a light smile, "Ya, I'm still gettin' used to walkin' on it. Though the pain has died down some it's still weird to walk on it..." Zona said as she looked up at some of the stands, realizing he may be a bit confused on what she was saying, "Oh, I lost my leg a while back, just got a new fake one so I'm workin' on gettin' used to that." Zona said as she unbuckled her one pant leg to show off her fake leg that hid behind it.

"Now, watch very carefully." Jasper called to the crowd before him as he tossed the assortment of objects into the air, leaving them to linger for a moment. A trio of knives, a few keys, some fruits, a pair of scissors, and even a few coin purses seemingly floated there before gravity regained its hold over them, sending them on a one way trip towards the ground.
Fortunately, the blue-haired Anderswelter's fingers worked much swifter than his metaphysical adversary; as several of the items dropped to about chest level, he reached out almost instinctually, snatching a couple of the objects out of the air at a time to toss them back up again - carefully alternating patterns between a simple oblong and a more advanced figure-eight. From his far left, one of the spectators, probably a shopkeep, tossed in a slim bottle of wine, which looked more than a little expensive. He let the costly vintage fall dangerously near to the ground before, at the very last second, he crouched down low and with his free hand, gripped the neck of the bottle. The juggler played with it for a bit, twirling it between his nimble fingers with an unexpected level of finesse given how heavy the object was.
"Ah, you there," he called over to a young man - Howl - he saw passing behind his audience, smiling impishly all the while. His smile grew as he caught sight of his similarly haired acquaintance. "Zona, what are you up to do?" He thought silently.
"You know what they say: Ignorance is bliss, and while I might not be as ignorant as I seem, I intend to live in bliss for as long as I can." -Jasper, All in the Family Note: I enjoy quoting myself
