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
Opening day for the "Crystal Eden" (Open for all!)

Serenity tapped some crystals using some magic to make them glow from within and light up the front of her shop. She was pleased with the look they had! It was like there was a little light bulb in them glowing it's heart out. Walls and windows were draped with see threw fabric that sparkled a bit, crystals everywhere and the floor a dark black marble. Shelves where full off doll clothing or the dolls themselves in their stands. She had been restocking and getting everything ready for a while now and was excited to be finally ready. She was more than at home! Now she could share it with everyone. She hummed sweetly as she walked to the front door flipping a sign to “Open” and unlocking the door. After she walked behind the counter pulling out some supplies and a doll’s face. She went to painting the soft plastic’s make up on. Surely some people would see the sign and wonder in. Even if not to buy anything she was excited to see what people where like in the city.

Places of magic were places that drew Lasair in. So when he saw the signs for a new shop opening, featuring some “magic crystals” in the front window, his interest was peaked and he simply had to pause his work and head out to investigate it. Walking though the city quickly, he nearly passed by the shop, but stopped to turn around and look into it. The crystals were glowing some, pulling his attention in as he gazed at them. But then, behind them, he noticed that there were also dolls in the shop. Ah, so that’s what it actually specialized in. He pushed open the door and walked in.
“Hello,” he called as he walked in. Seeing the girl painting the door face, he smiled somewhat, looking around. “Your shop is very nice. Are dolls the only thing you sell?”

Serenity glanced up hearing the chime on the door go off as someone entered her shop. Smiling she sat her brush down. "Nope! I sell clothing and crystals as well. Any clothing you see on the dolls I can make a human version given some time." She replied looking the man up and down carefully. Man that was some red hair! Not bad! "Oh! I also bake on Saturdays."
It has been a busy night for Eryn , she has been training by night as she snuck out while everyone was asleep to practice her gymnastics and climbing , but as she was heading back home she noted a new shop was opening up its doors , through her googles that protected her eyes as she climbed down from the roofs back to ground level , she noticed another came along , it was the fox . The man who she has worked with for a few missions before. What was he doing here of all places. Eryn decided to get closer as she looked into the window to see that the sold dolls.
The clothes on the dolls reminder her of her old wooden arm she onced her as well as the clothes , she know the man was a leader who her friend, Lone .... She had not seen her in a long time .... Like she disappeared . Another question Eryn had to ask later on as she continued to watched. Seeing the own of the shop . A woman with white hair and expressive lips dressed in pink. She looked lovely , almost like she was a doll herself. She noticed also the glowing stones . She had never seen such thing before too as she continued to look in to the window of the shop.

Now that he had the woman’s attention, he took a half step closer to her and offered a friendly smile. “I’m rather fascinated with the crystals actually. I saw the ones at the front of the shop and wanted to ask more about them. What stone are they? And how did you make them light up?” He turned around to look at the ones in the window again, only to spot a kid standing outside and looking in. It took Lasair a moment, but then he recognized her as the girl that worked in CAEsAL, Eryn “China” as he had learned her name. Unsure as to whether the girl needed anything from him, he offered her a small half smile and then turned back the shopkeeper.
“Anyway, I’d like to hear as much as I can about them. And possibly take some home.” Smiling again, he grew a little eager to learn more.

"The crystals?" Serenity smiled softly back at him and she pushed the doll things to the other side of the desk. "Well most of them are quartz mixed clusters." She said and pointed to a gem around her neck. "Mines a pure angel aura quartz as for learning about them; most are from my home." She said before ducking down slightly and grabbed a HUGE cluster from under her desk. Putting it down it made a thud on the wood. "I have bigger, but this is a doozy too. See-" She pointed to the colored parts. "Rose quartz, Amethyst, a bit of clear quartz." She cooed and patted the gem. "We- I believe if you ... find the right one for your soul you'll be stronger." She smiled before noticing the little girl staring in. "A-as for the gems glowing that er ... just some lights under them." Totally true not magic at all.
Eryn continued to watch from the window as the woman seemed to lift up and placed a bigger stone of different colours onto the desk in front of fox , this made Eryn think , what where these stones and why are some of them glowing and why would the fox want with them . Where they important in some way to him for some reason ? She know she had a red stone as part of her dress but it didn't glow .
If these glowing gems where something that was important in some way she would need to report it later on to Mama , but for now she continued to watch, the sun was now starting to come into the street , reminding Eryn to make sure her tinted goggles where covering her eyes so she would not be blinded by light.

His mouth fell open into a slight o as she revealed a large cluster of gems from under the counter. With wide eyes he looked it over, following her finger as she pointed to the different gem types. And as she explained about finding one to match the soul, he smiled some. It was a very ander thing to say, in his opinion at least. Several books he had read seemed to have a similar point of view, especially ones written by the feline tribes. But she didn’t have any outward ander traits. Then again, neither did Lasair.
“Do you have any recommendations on which one would match me well?” he asked, resisting the urge to go investigate the supposed lights under the gems further. “How did you get the light to reflect from the gem like that? It looks as if it’s glowing from the center outward. It’s very pretty.” If she couldn’t explain it using non-ander science, then Lasair would find a way to explain it using ander-approved magic.

"A fire chalcedony!" She blurted out eyes glittering before she dashed to the back grabbing something and came back to the front in a second holding a big red and orange gem. " It Absorbs negative energy and dissipates it and harmonizes then mind, body, and spirit." She cooed softly and sat the stone down. "It's a healing gem I believe." She said before glancing to the glowing gems. "Light under it travels threw and out." Serenity was trying! Maybe he did not know much about crystals or gems so she could get away with it?
Eryn continued to watch , she could not hear what they where saying due to door was closed. She looked up to find if there was a window open on the upper floors she could sneak into so she possibly learn more about this women as she walked around the building . She also has the possibly to wait for fox to go and for her to go in and find out who that woman is. She seemed nice and didn't looked like she could be of any danger at all. As Eryn carefully walked around the outside , searching for a chance to get in to the building from a different entrance.

Lasair’s face fell into a surprised expression as Serenity seemed to have an immediate answer for which gemstone matched his character. But that was good thing—immediate answers had a tendency to be the right ones. As she returned with the stone, he reached out his hand to hold it, examining the color and contour of the stone as he listened to her explanation on it. “Harmonizing, huh? I think I could use some of that,” he mused with a half smile. “Could you turn this into a bracelet? Perhaps with a smaller stone. I used to know how to, but I don’t have the tools for it anymore.” Handing the stone back to her, he glanced over his shoulder and saw that the girl, China, had disappeared from outside the shop. “Lighting radiates out? Could you show me how that works?” he asked then, determined to either prove or disprove her claim that it was nothing magical that lit those stones.

The back door should be locked, but Serenity was a forgetful girl sometimes. Some of the windows were also unlocked and really only the one to the work room was locked and covered by curtains. “No problem! If I can shape crystal into doll parts I can make a simple bracelet.” Serenity smiled at Lasiar before she took the gem back and wrapped it up putting a note on it to tell her what it was reserved for. Then she froze and felt warm, nervously warm- “Uhhhh s-sure.” She laughed softly and walked to a gem on the other side of the room that was lit up. She just stared at it- well crap …

Following her to the display, Lasair bent over slightly to lean closer to the gem. He looked around then, unable to find any lights that were painting at it. At least, not directly. His first guess proved to be correct as they did, indeed, seem to be illuminated by their own light. “Perhaps in a better light,” he mused, glancing at her sideways for a moment before he held his hand out and snapped his fingers, created a small flame no larger than that of a candle. With the tiny flame at his fingertips, he moved his hand around the gem to watch as the flame was reflected around it.
Then, with a simple motion he let the flame die out and stood up straight, shaking his head as he looked at her. “I’m afraid I can’t see how the gem is glowing. It’s almost as if there was magic at play here.” Grinning slightly, he looked to her then, wondering just how she was taking the news he presented.

Serenity felt nervous as Lasiar looked at the cluster of gems and she hid her face a bit with her hands turning red slowly. She was so screwed was she!? Then suddenly- DID HE USE MAGIC!? She was wide eyed shocked and she got flustered confused and shocked enough her wings floofed out from her back appearing. Feather’s went everywhere and she flapped them a bit backing up. “Ahhhhh- u-uh h-ha you caught m-me.” She seemed panicked. “They are m-magic b-based.”
Post by Lasair Landevier Lupen on Sept 14, 2016 3:35:23 GMT
As the girl stepped back, wings appearing out of thin air and filled the room with wind and feathers. Lasair’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as it happened, the girl stuttering as she admitted that it was, in fact, magic that worked the crystals. If only she had mentioned that before her wings went FLOOF and spoiled the surprise. Using a calm voice, Lasair lifted his hands up in an attempt to calm her down. “Hey, relax. I’m not gonna go calling EIRAL or anything. I just, well, I want to know how you got the gems to light up like that. I like learning spells.” A light color came to his face as he admitted as much, but hopefully the honesty would be appreciated by her. As well as maybe help her calm down. He glanced over his shoulder for a moment, hoping that no one walking past the window would stop to look in.
