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

Elaine peered down the slide to the water judging it's usefulness. Since when was there an underground river under the Theater District? If her sense of direction was anything to rely on- Suddenly she heard a shout, sort of muffled by distance but no less there. The girl whirled around looking off into the dark. "Zona!" She hissed feeling the hair on the back of her neck raise when gunshots rang through the tunnel. Her body tensed warningly. Something...or somebody...was nearby. "Who's there!" She said backing up towards the door but stopping before she reached it. Her green eyes scanned the dark vainly.
suddenly as Elaine turned , she saw what looked like a child but it looked like a wolf as it Jumped at her , trying to bite and attack her with its claws.its eyes look like it wanted to eat her , to have her for lunch. it screamed at her like a wild animal.
(Wilder used no skills with attack , its attacks like a wild animal)
(Zona)
as what seemed to be the fight being over suddenly the Exterminator started to charge at her , with the intention to kill Zona , Elm watched from the window " well Pigeon you better start to run , your little wings will never be useful in these tunnels unless you want to lose the , after my friend is finished with you , i wonder what your wings will taste like ? anyway enjoy your play time my dear Pigeon~" as he pulled his head in back into the building .

"I ain't no God drat Pigeon!" Zona shouted at the man as she turned to see the metal man running at her. Narrowing her eyes some she charged at the beast at full speed, quickly ducking and weaving in between its legs, ending up on the other side of it where she then dove off to the side and out of sight. Zona hoped that due to the size of that thing it would have a hard time turning around and wouldn't notice her. If it did she would end up running off, back to the tunnel she came from. She didn't remember how big the tunnel was but she could hope that it was small enough that the machine would get stuck.

Elaine's eyes widened as the thing attacked her. It's voice, it sounded so raw and wild. The girl screamed as the weight of it knocked her back, down the chute to the water. "Get off me!" She hissed before losing her balance as both of them went tumbling down towards the murky river. Elaine focused her efforts on clawing back at the boy/thing before careening into the cold water. Her chest tightened painfully in shock at the freezing temperatures. Kicking out at the thing she tried to swim up and get some air.
Zone had managed to avoid the monster charge but as she ran she noticed more guards where coming from the tunnel where she had came from since she did make a distraction before. it was then suddenly a girl that looked like a mix between Livna and Eryn dressed in green and wearing some sort of mitten using Speed II she sped right next to Zona and with all her speed before she let loose a string of punches to try to hit and push her towards the huge drop below. Elm watched with a smile as he stepped out "you do know by now , Eryn was not one of a kind but was one of a Sextuplets, Meet Tiny my beloved one which if the rat was domesticated~ now play well with my friends~" he said as lent on the wall of the building , smiling , knowing he would be having his bird friend for lunch as well as possible entertainment of vermin kicking
the Exterminator turned around slowly and then charged at Zona again, knowing now he had backup.

as Elaine was washed away by the running cold water , it took her and the wilder to a big chamber , above there was an opening as now sound where coming from the huge opening , she could hear everything that had been said , however as she kicked the wilder it managed to bite her on the leg before it was forced under by the currents of the waterway. the bite marked stung but the damages that where coming had already had been done as Elaine would soon find out.
the wall had a what seemed to be an old ladder , that lead up to the opening , there was also a small walkway that lead down a tunnel.

"Where did she run off to?" Jasper mouthed wordlessly, glancing around from the rooftops. He had been following Zona on and off all night. After what had happen to her, the youthful assassin had decided, occasionally, it would be best if he kept an eye on his injured companion rather than take his own missions - from the shadows of course, he knew what she would say if she found out. Unfortunately, that resulted in a major cut in one of his two sources of income, but it was a sacrifice he was willing to make. The blue-haired feline made his way across the rooftop, bringing himself closer to where he had seen the girl last.
"How did you even get away so fast?" He inquired to the open night sky and, as expected, he received no answer. "I hadn't even taken my eyes off you for a full second before you..." He stopped to leap down in to the nearby alleyway when he had made his way over to where he had seen the girl last; he was disappointed, however, to find an ordinary alley and nothing else. "Ugh," he groaned loud enough to echo through the small pathway. "You can barely walk straight!" He exclaimed, kicking a pile of snow as he did so. He was upset - that much was obvious - but more at himself than his friend. What had happened wasn't her fault. She didn't know he was stalking her, or at least he thought she didn't know.
He ranted some more before pushing his hair out of his face with both hands. As his eyes began to itch with the threat of tears, Jasper caught a fleeting glance of a silhouette. He turned to see an open door, which had not been open before. With a fortified resolve, and just a tinge of worry, the feline made his way over to the door to investigate. The building looked old, abandoned even, but Jasper went in anyway. He almost felt compelled to. Upon opening the door, the first, and really, only, thing he noticed was the pit a few meters from him.
"Please tell me you didn't jump down there." He whispered, once again, to no one in particular. He made a quick scan of the room before stepping towards the hole. He knelt down on one knee and peered into the hole, hoping to get a feel for how deep it was. It didn't help.
"What am I getting myself into now?" Jasper sighed - reflecting on the recent events he had gotten himself involved in - before leaping into the darkness.

"dung... How many pawns do you have here?" Zona said as she easily blocked the small girls punches, (UC III used) though the girl was quick and knew how to throw a punch a block came easily against it. She knew she couldn't take down the exterminator, and she didn't know if she could fight against one of Eryn's sisters, even if she was what the man said she was... Taking a step and a back flip away from the girl Zona quickly pulled out her steel bow along with one of her flammable arrows, after lighting it off she aimed and shot at metal man, aiming at the machines head. Taking a few more steps back Zona began to run off, tying to gain some distance between her and the exterminator... If she could just find a small enough spot that the exterminator couldn't get into, well... Then all she would have to worry about would be the girl. And possibly all the men.

Elaine disappeared under the water before resurfacing with a gasp closer to the ladder. She lashed out blindly wrapping her fingers around one of the rings to haul herself up. As she did so she immediately started examining her leg. 'It bit me?' she thought rather unsure of what to make of it, but it wasn't good. She pulled her cloak off her hip and tore the bottom off of it, wrapping the wound as best she could. The item, soaking wet would only weigh her down so she left it. As she worked the sounds of fighting and conversation filled her ears. She turned her attention towards it, glancing around. Getting up she jogged along limping slightly and looking around trying to judge where the sound was and go towards it. She pushed her soaked hair back out of her face. After a second she stopped thinking. Could she lure anyone back towards the opening? Would it be useful in the future? Seemed like a pretty steep drop. There was no telling. Well, when in doubt...do the next best thing. "Hey!" Elaine yelled loudly. She could have swore she heard Zona yelling something about a pigeon. Not to mention a new voice that seemed to have sinister intentions. "I could really use a pigeon!" She shouted trying to see if her intensions were right. After letting pretty much the whole world know she was down here she pressed up against the wall peering towards the clamor as she inched down the wall.
the flame Arrow that Zona shot smashed one of the eyes of the Exterminator's outer shell as the monster had to stop to pull out the arrow , the Girl as well as the Guards chased after Zona as she ran into the tunnels , they where trailing close behind as the girl started to Jump from wall to wall , bouncing off it as she ran on all fours, to catch up to Zona. she was determined to take out her target , so to please her master.
Elm smiled watching all this unfold as his men chased after the unwanted vermin, it was then he heard a new voice which sounded female, Elm looked toward where the voice came from "oh more to play with , sorry who ever you are? am guessing your with the Pigeon? hiding is pointless so please come out since I know what you are trying to do" he said as he reloaded his pistol as the exterminator started to move forward towards the wall as it heavy feet stomped closer to her " so lets be civil , if your not vermin I will not harm you , but if you not a fellow human let say your assets will be interesting to see how my cure works on you~" he said as he loaded a dart bullet into his pistol , ready to shoot it if and when the new person comes out.

(Jasper)
Jasper landed in the deep dark , as his eyes adjusted to the low light he finds himself stepping off the elevator in a place that was recently burned but used to look like a lot of people used to live , skeletons of old homes made from junks only stand , there are a few reminding with a burned wooden arm remaining outside of one of them . in the far end there are 2 tunnels , which one seem to have a lot of noise coming from it while the other the sound of water came from it.
(Eryn)
Eryn had seen the hole thing happen as she followed Zona from the paths on the side in shadow, the one person who should not be down her , she need to save her otherwise she could get hurt , this plan of getting rid of elm by herself seemed to have been changed as she prepared her rope

Zona nearly froze when she heard Elaine's voice, of course she had to be down here too... "drat it Elaine..." She cursed to herself as she quickly began to take off her jacket and tie it around her waste. Just because the tunnels were small and her wings we larger didn't mean she couldn't maneuver down here with them, after all she had flown at top speed though that forest all the time. In one quick motion, her wings came back out and she changed direction and began to charge at the oncoming group. She blasted out of the tunnel she just entered, smacking and hitting some of the men in the process. Once out of the tunnel she saw where Elm and the exterminator were looking, "Bingo." She mouthed to herself as she grabbed some arrows and strung them, one being a flaming arrow while the others being normal ones. Aiming at the back of the machines head Zona shot the arrow and flew past the metal man, and dove into the tunnel Elm had his gun aimed at. Right now she needed to find Elaine.

Digging the solid, metal talons of his gauntlet, Jasper slid down decaying brick at an uncomfortable speed. The rough surface was just as unpleasant on his heels as it scrapped against the foot he was using to stabilize himself. As he neared the bottom of the wall, he braced himself with both legs and thrust them backward, sending him into the air for a few seconds. The assassin tucked into a roll as he landed. He took a moment to decide between the two tunnels before him.
"Left?" The Anderswelter asked himself before looking to the opposite tunnel, the sounds of gunfire instantly calling his attention. "Right it is." He told himself as he dashed down the tunnel as fast as he could.
He slowed himself to a literal crawl - or rather a very low, almost predatory crouch - and waited, listening to the commotion as silently as he could. He couldn't tell exactly how many people there were but judging from the deafening amount of gunfire resounding through he could assume it was anywhere between five and a lot. The vibrant streaks of blue that flew past him caught his attention and he had to actively restrain himself from calling after her.
"Gotta help her." He thought to himself before running the metal claws against the ground, producing a gut-wrenching noise. While he did so, he cleared his throat quietly before pursing his lips together and whistling an equally fearful and deceit-laden melody. "Something is coming, something horrible." (Deceit I). After he finished his tune, he rushed after his winged companion, cloaking himself in magic to make himself harder to see (Deceit II).
"What's the rush?" He laughed, panting - more to steel himself from the getting-shot-at-thing rather than actually joke about the situation - hoping to catch Zona's attention.

as the exterminator was about to charge at the wall, more arrows hits, as 2 of them puncher its back head shell as the others bounce of, it finches and started to pull the new arrows out if its helmet as it groins in pain as it didn't not notice Zona fly pass it. on the other Hand Elm had "oh you are such a feather brain , Pigeon , however , you didn't tell me you had 2 other dinner guests here tonight~" he said as he pull out a second pistol and pointed it towards where Jasper was as switched his target to Zona flying for his pistol with the dart bullet " well~ well~ tonight will be fun , Tiny , fetch! " he shouted as the Girl using another Speed II came out the tunnel from behind Jasper and using the exterminator she ran up and jumped off him and grabbed hold of Zona's fake leg. "now then tell me , young sir~" Elm addressed Jasper as he turned his head towards him "are you human or not? for this is a game of what is right and wrong , choose wisely what you answer will be~"
as Elm finished, More of his men came out of the house , as some of them guided the rich people down the tunnel away the house towards the unlodan palace, other readies their guns , and aimed at every new target.
Eryn made in place as she jumped from above onto Tiny as she know there was no point of hiding now. she forced Tiny to let go of Zona which both the girls hit the ground forcing them to roll , however Eryn Quickly used Speed II and speed I to recover and Run as some of the men opened fire on her wit only one of the shot hitting her in the Right arm , her metal arm before she slid into a small pipe . to big for most people "WHAT , THE RATS ALIVE , AFTER HER !" Elm order some of his men as they tried to chase after her down the small pipe.

Everything seemed to happen at once, Jasper came in Elm shot Zona, that small girl attacked her leg then Eryn came... Oh boy... All Zona could do for the moment was regain her stability since she was just thrown off by two girls. Once that was fixed she quickly changed directions, aiming herself to where Jasper was, diving at him as she held out a hand and scooped the boy up before Elm had a chance to shoot at him. "Welcome to the party." Zona said as she stopped and hid somewhat behind one of the nearby buildings. Setting Jasper down she peered around the corner, "We need to help Eryn and find out what is holding up Elaine." Zona said as she looked at the dart in her shoulder before pulling it out, rubbing the area after. It tingled some... What was in that...

Elaine heard so much commotion she couldn't figure out what was going on. But the rush of air and the feathery sound of wings made her hopes soar. Zona! She peeked around the corner just in time to see the blue haired girl swoop around and pick up someone. "Is....Jasper?!" She hissed is surprise. Two more figures struggled for a minute before one broke off and disappeared down a pipe. So much to take in with so little time. Elaine stepped out for a brief second and waved her arms at Zona before darting off into the shadows. The walkway down where the tunnel had dropped down to the river was her plan. If Zona had managed to see her at all. She slowed down and ground her heels in to stop, causing a painful twinge to run up her leg. 'Z you'd better get your feathers in here now!' The girl cast a quick glance around in the shadows. Her assassin livelihood. Limping over she backed herself into the darkness watching.
Elm had pulled the trigger a few seconds too late as his bullet missed its target as it was now flying with the pigeon "DAM IT DAM IT , THIS IS NOT A GOOD DAY , LOOKS LIKE AM GONNA HAVE TO START DOING PHASE 2 RIGTH NOW! , MEN HOLD THEM OFF AND CHASE AFTER THEM! , AM GONNA OPEN THE PRISON " he shouted as he put his guns away and stormed where his guests had went to , down the tunnel toward Unlodan's prison while his guards continue to shoot and attack after Zona as well as march closer where Elaine was least seen.
the Exterminator had finally recovered from the Arrows to the head and changed it target , chasing After Zona , as it jumped to try and grab her each time the best that it could. Tiny started to recover as black cut showed on her face she she begain returning to her senses and trying to follow her master as she limped a bit.
mean while Eryn was being chased down pipes by a few men , ducking and diving, making it harder to hit her as she ran and turned down another pipes towards the prison.
