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
Ikuze pouted at Caitlin when she said that Juniper wouldn't be joining them. "Awww... and here I was plotting that if we were discovered down there, big guy here could bluff his way saying that we were his girls. Although I'm sure Rava wouldn't mind "role-playing" a little if that situation arose with him down there with us." she said with a shrug before looking at Rava, snickering at her facial expressions. "Yeah, like a change in clothing's really gonna make me invisible with this hair colour." smirked the blue maned thief as she flicked her braided tail over her shoulder. "And before you suggest dyes, I tried those once. First, they stunk worse than a pile of fresh horse manure. Not exactly best for thieving in a city. Second, the stuff kept running out after the first day, even when my hair hadn't touched water. Rain or otherwise." shrugged the thief before she downed the wine, pulling a face at the taste and aftertaste of the stuff, sticking out her tongue along with her face.
"As for cross-dresser's brother, he's more than welcome to try and come hunting for me in the city. I dodge coppers on a regular basis. And most of them grew up in Lodan so they know the backroutes and all." said Ikuze with a note of pride in her voice.

Caitlin groaned at the two, wondering how the pair of them weren't caught by now just on inept tactics alone. Nonetheless at least they were trying, and Ikuze HAD proven herself during her own trial, this was Rava's chance to do the same. Clearing her throat she pushed back her plate and rose from the table.
"if we're all finished here then, I suggest we get about our business. Reconvene in the morning, the hour past dawn, on the bridge." Juniper stood to take Rava to her sleeping quarters, and Caitlin waited at the door for Ikuze to head down to the brig.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava watched and nodded "ok... please , dont fall for that rat's words ..." she was worried that she may take Axis' side if she managed to make a great case to .
Down in the brig, Axis was still unhappy , she had planns of how to get out with force or smooth talking, she had to get Rava to pay for all she had coused , most of all she also had to make these pirate pay too , she should have never tried to trust pirates or even try to talk sense that there is a mass killer of a woman known as Rava on there ship and how she was responsible for more then 500 deaths of innocents . she really hoped now that her home was holding up well and the bandits had not leveled it to the ground.
"Hey, don't worry. I grew up in a brothel for the first few years of my life remember? I know honey words when I hear 'em." said Ikuze to reassure Rava before she got up from the table to join Caitlin. "Sooo... what's the plan exactly here Baroness?" she asked slowly as they made their way to the brig. "Good beak, bad beak or something? Cus I can irritate her to all kinds of hell if needed. Make her slip something."

Caitlin smirked at Ikuze methods. "Sounds like a good strategy, why don't you play bad beak, and leave the canoodling up to me." When they reached the watertight door Caitlin asked for Ikuze assistance in opening the thing. Rather than closing it behind them she left it ajar. "If the little bird tries to fly out of her cage and make for the escape. I'll throw her overboard. I'm getting tired of these games, and she's not a member of my crew or relations so - " she turned to face the Ca'alla girl knowing that she could hear them talking about her "I would have no regrets in disposing of the excess."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Axis looked at them , she heard it all and was not worried about falling overboard as long as there where trees below and the ship was low enough , it at lest gave her a very slim chance to get out of there and get back to Ca a'lla faster to knowing but also she had to try to make these 2 see reason why having a possible mas killer on there ship was the worst thing to happen " yeah no! , am not scared of being thrown over board. sorry lady pirates but you dont have anything to scare me with." she said as she stud up knowing the chance will come " look you 2 are not seeing that Rava AKA Rava GreenHeart , AKA FORMER QUEEN OF GREENBANDITS is Very dangerous, the fact your trying to help her is not a good thing , are you 2 really that blind , you dont know how much she done to this world alone since she was 6 and onwards, then again pirate and bandits are the same in a way. one live on boats the other in hid outs and caravans" she started to swing her arms "oh and if you think you can do anything that mind game or some sort of control on me , think again , i will fight it! ", this girls anger was at its most when Rava was not around. Rava was now in the quarters she was shown to , she was not one that like small areas, even with experience of slipping in to tight spaces, she felt like a trapped rat in a cage but she could not complain, she was on a mission which will earn her freedom to start a new life , something that never happened to a bandit, she slowly starts to sing a small song "oh~ ¿Qué hacer con un marinero borracho,~¿Qué hacer con un marinero borracho,~¿Qué hacer con un marinero borracho,~Earl-ojo por la mañana!"
(a little bit of spanish again , if you can guess what she singing without translating it , will get a gift ))

(its what to do with a drunken sailor in Spanish (I know some Spanish from 2 years of it in HS) also; Axis is being a little OP here. these air ships are thousands of feet in the air, she can't just "land on a tree" and survive)

Sorry forgot to put in that she does not know how high they are , I'll edit it now o.ou )))
Ikuze smirked at Caitlin before looking at Axis. "You really are thick in the ear ain't ye? Told you before, I ain't a pirate. I'm a thief. Big difference. Now the Cap'n here," she said hiking a thumb at Caitlin, "now she's a pirate. Although pirates tend to be a little moralistic than thieves are. Codes of conduct and dung like that I dunno." she said with a shrug. "And again with the whole blah blah with the bandits. You said it your own drat self that she's got this drat rage fighting curse on her. The frak did you expect would happen eh? That she'd just dance around some stupid meadow picking daisies? Sounds like your little "control" method backfired all up in your face if you're trying to suggest that a little child would willingly go around butchering people." said the thief, throwing the girl's earlier words back into her face.
"Here's a question actually, how many have you killed eh? You seem damned confident you can kill Rava so either you're bluffing worse than a desperate gambler, or you've done your fair share of the gutting." said the thief, as a thought occured to her. I guess I'm the only one on this boat that ain't killed anyone before... huh... She looked back at Axis. "And don't give me that bull about she was raised by bandits so of course she was going to be a killer. I was raised in a brothel, surrounded by dollymops, and I haven't once had anyone go into me. I'm as virgin as Mary herself. So, care to try this arguement again?"
Post by Caitlin Cockfoster on Jan 10, 2014 4:15:23 GMT
Caitlin lifted a brow at Ikuze question. It was a good one, and she was personally interested in hearing the answer. So she crossed her arms, leaned back and waited for the little stowaway to answer.

Axis look at girl deep in the eyes " that because you just waiting to replace dear old mother? miss dollymop pirate , you are a pirate! otherwise why are you working with them and why are you on this ship!?!" she stopped and then change back the subject " look different culture! , different things! , yes i have killed but not without Regret..... i had to kill to protect , am not like my great grandfather who was able to stop people without killing then and knowing when to kill , do you think the green bandit raids have not made me think of what i did , about the amount of tears i have to shied from losing friends and talking a life away from a people . am no killing like Rava is .... she does not know the word regret , she was born and molded as a killing , its only fitting she was put down as a killer" she said as she slowly let it all sink in " the curse was made for his reason and it keeps the world safe from a bandit king taking over everything we know" .
(ok back to subject, Caltlin got it right , free gift for ya i owe , when i brake my block ^^u ))
Ikuze snarled at the mention of her mother. This little- she growled before catching herself. Focus, you're to get in her head, not the other way around. The thief growled a little externally before speaking. "I'm working with the pirates because thieves and pirates are one faction together. And the reason I'm here is cus the captain asked me to. Never been on a skyship before, and figured it'd be good experience. Really don't get the idea of alliances do ya?" asked the thief before smirking at Axis' words. "So, you feel regret eh? And you're sooo sure that Rava doesn't feel the same now huh? Hate to break this to ye little miss high and mighty, but she does. I may know frak all about your place, but I know how to read people. If you can't read an audience, you don't get the coin in your bag. If you can't read a crowd, you don't get a grasp for where the good marks are gonna be for a little lightening of pockets." said the thief. "Rava regrets what she's done. She'd say as much herself to you but there's the problem of your stupid grandfather's stupid curse." she said before a thought, a terrible thought struck her.
"It didn't make the world safe." she said.
"Think about it. Cus of this curse, the bandits keep on fighting. They have no choice but to keep fighting. If your tree-hugging lot, whatever you call yourselves, wind up all dying from these bandits, then there's nothing to keep them there. And the curse will still be there on them, compelling them to fight, to kill, to murder. So they'll leave Ca'alla, and spread like a plague, bringing fire and death everywhere they go. And they can't do a drated thing about it cus of your grandfather's curse." said Ikuze, watching the girl's responses and reactions. "And for someone who knew how to stop people without killing them... he fraked up royally with the first Bandit King didn't he?" taunted the blue haired girl.
"Rava was molded as a killer cus of his stupid arse curse you miniscule twat! If you had as much regret and compassion in you as you fraking claim you do, you'd see that she is NOT your enemy! As far as the bandits care, she's done her job. She's no longer one of them now that they have her son. They gutted her, tore open her belly to get to her womb, tore her kid from inside of her, and then dumped her on our doorstep. If she hadn't been found, she would have died. Died from the hands of those who raised her. And for what? Just because she was female, because she had now given them this new baby king. This baby, who you fear so much... this infant who can probably barely even crawl, let alone wriggle in his cot, fills you with so much fear and dread..." said Ikuze, glaring at the girl, letting her own works sink in. "And if you so much as even attempt to say "she deserved it" just because of who she was raised by, and who her blood belongs to... then what makes you any different from them? Only a true monster would claim anyone deserved that." she said before looking away and lowering her voice.
"I should know... as far as most people are concerned, people like me... we're already monsters, demons and freaks. All because of who our parents, or parent is... all because of this." she said, whipping out the mirror shard she carries from her back pocket and slashing the palm of her own hand to let her black blood drop onto the floor in front of them all. "You tell me Axis... does that seem right? Does that seem, noble? Because that is exactly what you claim to be. What is the difference? WHAT IS THE frakING DIFFERENCE?!" she roared, flicking her make-shift knife towards the imprisoned girl, some flecks of her blood flying through the air towards her. Ikuze put away the mirror shard back into her back pocket, clenching her cut hand into a fist, the blood slowly seeping between her fingers.

Caitlin wouldn't even tell her own crew her blood ran black, (not that a few of them didn't already know this from seeing it in action) so she certainly wouldn't have pulled the move Ikuze just did... but she did approve of her methods. If the girl wanted to hate so strongly, let her spread it thin over a few different perceived evils. After all she was just one girl. But if she went back home spreading the tale of Lodan's 'demon's to her Ca 'alla hating tribe then there might be bigger issues at hand. She sighed inwardly, wishing she was calloused enough to literally throw the little miscreant over the side. After all she was a stowaway on Caitlins ship which gave her every right to play judge jury and executioner.
Axis was also a child, a tainted one, but a child none the less. So she would be dealt with in a more humane way... for now, unless she pushed them too far.
"The way I see it," Caitlin tacked on to the end of Ikuze speech. "You Axis, and Rava might as well be twin sisters for all the similarities between you both. You both seem to think you're making up for past mistakes, you both seem to believe you're sorry for all the lives you've so ruthlessly and numerously taken, and you both want to prove that you are a 'good guy' deep deep-DEEP- down in your soul. But on the surface, your hands are stained with the blood you've shed, your faces dirty with the truth and your tongues coated in the poisons you speak every time you open your mouths. If YOU want some kind of forgiveness and a future, then you better find it in your heart to allow her the same thing. Otherwise, it is within my power to deny you both everything, right down to the floors your standing on. Do I make myself clear? Because you don't have to like me, you don't have to forgive me and I certainly don't have to do anything for you that I don't want to. So no matter how great you think your little gang wars are - they mean nothing in this ship in the sky. My word is law, I am your every hope and prayer so you better start thinking big picture kid."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty.

Axis seemed un_phased the black blood but what was said by both the ladies she instantly banged herself against the bars of the brig making them make a twinge noise as she shouted " NO!!! IT YOU 2 WHO ARE NOT SEEING THE BIGGER PITCHER , BEYOND THIS SHIP!!!! "she was now really angry that her words did not reach them properly "YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU , IT BECAUSE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF RAVA AND ALL HER BLOODLINE CONTINUE TO LIVE , IF THE POWER OF THE SWARM MANIFEST IN A MALE OF THE BLOODLINE WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE , YOU CANT KILL SOMETHING THAT IS MORE THEN 1 BECAUSE IT 1000 THINGS AT ONCE, THIS IS WHY MY GRANDFATHER MANAGED TO KILL HER GRANDFATHER BY MAKING HIM DUEL AS ONE!! , POWERS LIKE THAT THREATEN ALL LIFE ON THE WORLD WHEN CONTROLLED BY EVIL LIKE RAVA!!, SHE AND ALL HER BLOODLINE ARE TRUE MONSTERS!! ,NOT BECAUSE OF BLOOD OR LOOK OR ANYTHING , BUT WHAT THEY CAN DO IF THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE!! , NO ONE SHOULD EVER FACE THE SWARM , EVER!!!" he shout Echoed with all the power she had" IF YOU DONT KILL HER OR LET ME KILL HER AFTER SHE FIXED ALL WHAT SHE HAS DONE THEN YOU NO BETTER THEN HER!!! YOU DIRTY !!!, STUPID!! , IDIOTIC EXCUSES FOR PIRATES!!!..... AND IF YOU DARE CALL ME HER TWIN THAT YOU ARE DEAD DEAD WRONG , I STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT , SHE STAND FOR WHAT IS WRONG , HER BLOODLINE IS EVIL AND ALL HER CHILDREN WILL FOREVER BE EVIL" (ok she already shown that her side is bent on taking down Rava , now your free to kill or what every you want to do with her ,it will only effect the story in 2 ways depending on what happens now and mainly the endings and some bits,
Ikuze blinks and then rubs a finger in her ear to make it pop. "Eh? Swarm? Manifest?" she asked, looking confused. "You never said anything about a swarm thing before. Maybe you should explain that before going around calling stuff evil. All you said was your grandad and her grandad had a duel and then yours cursed hers."
