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

"If I said I'm pristine clean that would be a lie." She took a deep breath. No, Caitlin wasn't the only one with her heart getting wrung into knots, but there was still a difference between the two of them. Mainly, the difference between 'I kissed a friend while mourning once' and 'I was in a relationship with another person altogether' - but even if the redhead had been aware of that difference, she wouldn't know which situation was worse, hers or Caitlin's. "Not currently, though."
If that was a curse, then it applied to them both. Just, in Edelweiss' case, the people she lost weren't restricted to romantic suitors but to anyone close enough to be considered family. All people who died or disappeared too, though thankfully no one in her list was arrested. And then there was fake-dying. That one was new.

Caitlin shrugged and sunk back in her seat. "For the best Im sure. Being torn in two is no way to live, and there is no way to win unless you consider wrecking people's emotions a win." Hadn't Levi done that to her though? But didn't she do it first? Queens! This was all a mess. Better to move on to something saner.
"It's nice to be out with one of the girls for once. Feels like a breath of fresh air." And it was true, her nerves didn't feel like they were going to short circuit at any second, which was a welcome change.
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

Hearing that last comment, Edelweiss couldn't help but laugh. A genuine, light-mooded laugh for once, although it only lasted a couple seconds.
"So true, it's really relieving for a change. Though I'm a little sorry that, after so much struggle with the guys, even while out with one of the girls you're still stuck with a tomboy." Pure truth, there was reason why people occasionally mistook the redhead for a guy, even though she didn't look really manly in her own personal opinion. That wasn't something that saddened her, though; just a neutral detail part of life that was proving to be rather amusing right now.

"Nothing wrong with a little backbone in a girl." Cait should know. "Besides, given my occupation... I doubt a shopping spree would mean much anyway." She lowered her voice for that bit, since it wasn't exactly common knowledge that the baroness even had an occupation let alone one as dastardly ash what she did have.

"That much is true" The redhead nodded at the comment about girls having backbones. Where would either of them be if they had not been daring enough to take control of their own lives? Well, Cait might have been home, married to someone of her father's choice and maybe a kid or two in toll, who knows. As for herself... better not think of that.
"And considering the inflation rates that'd be more of a windowshopping spree than a proper shopping one (in my case anyway)." She might have a bit more money than the average middle class, but she isn't rich. And also not keen of randomly spending so much she turns poor. "Going somewhere just to destress and relax sounds good though. We should hang out together more often - have a 'girls day' and such, in our style."

She could drink to that. Caitlin raised her glass, though it was only water, and held it up to Edel's. "To Us." She toasted. Sweet, simple, and yet oh so much implied.
