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 (Takes place before A World of a Festival) Amon streched, yawning a bit. Finally, a small break; ever since he got back, it was a whirlwind of stress, from dealing with the council, to frantically setting the logistics up for the upcoming festival.
"Unholy heck..." he thought as he rested his head on the counter. Might as well try and sneak a power nap in.
Not like anyone was gonna come in...
Slight minor note: Amon's appearance has changed, and I have yet to update his profile. Here is a more accurate description (from another thread): "For one, he no longer had a pony tail; instead, it was shoulder length at most, and his bangs now covered his eyes, though there was a hint of a thin metal plate below his left eye, covering most of his cheek bone, as well as a very subtle, blue glow, analogous to that of a clockwork doll's eye, coming from where his left eye would be. For his right arm, it was a fairly different model; although similar to his previous arm, it was now more sleeker [...] and now sported five fingers. "

Giddeon let out a long sigh. He was lost. Hopelessly so. Earlier that day, he had closed up shop and set out to find Amon, the head of the Merchanics guild, in order to request entrance into the guild. Somewhere along the way, however, he got completely turned around and has absolutely no clue as to where he is.
"Well, at least I get a nice little tour of the area," He thought out loud to himself, before finally steeling his nerves to walk into the building in front of him and ask for directions. As he walked through the door, he saw a man with silvery hair, resting his head upon the countertop. "Hello there friend! Is there a chance I could ask you for some assistance?"
Amon couldn't help but let out a small groan. So much for the nap.
"Yeah, sure..." he replied as he lifted his head, rubbing his right eye with his left hand. "What can I help you with?" he asked with a small wave of his mechanical right arm.

As he waved, Giddeon noticed that the man's right arm was mechanical, which caused a vague sense of familiarity to rise within him.
"Silver hair, and a mechanical arm?" He quietly mused to himself. "For some reason I feel like I should know who that is." Pushing that thought to the back of his mind, He put on a bright smile.
"I'm actually wondering as to where I can find Amon, the head of the Merchanics Guild. I established a shop a while ago, and I finally feel like my wares are up to par to request official recognition," He said, still oblivious to how exhausted the man in front of him appeared to be. "Would you by chance know where I can find him?"
Amon blinked. "...Note to self, put a more obvious sign on the shop..." he thought.
"Yeah, that would be me," he replied, rubbing his face, only to pause. "...So...you've already got yourself a shop? What exactly did you do again?"

"You're Amon?" Giddeon said in surprise. "My deepest apologies, I didn't realize..." He trailed off, clearly embarrassed.
"My name is Giddeon. Giddeon Fitch. I own a pottery shop near the edge of the Merchants district, and I also sell small first aid sewing kits on the side." He said with a bit of pride in his voice.
"Eh, 'tis fine," Amon replied with a shrug. "Due to some recent events, it's a rarity for someone to not know who I am. Sorta nice really."
At Giddeon's mention of his wares, Amon raised an eyebrow. "...Pottery and medical sewing kits...? A bit of an odd combination, but hey, whatever works for you," he said, leaning back a little. "Did you happen to bring a sample of your wares?"

"Ah yes, of course, hold on a moment," Giddeon carefully removed the pack he was carrying, and started to take out some of his sample wares.
"Funny story about this actually," Giddeon said sheepishly. "I was raised in a clinic so I learned my way around medicine and whatnot, but I've always had a passion for working with clay. And as it so happens, I'm not half bad." He placed several vases, bowls, and sewing kits on the counter.
"Do your worst," He grinned, and then glanced around the shop. "Might I ask how long you've been set up here? It's quite an impressive selection of goods,"
"Huh..." Amon replied, picking up some of the clay wares and carefully observing them. "...Been here for a couple of years now myself, though I've been working on these machines for far longer..."
When he got to the sewing kits, he picked one up and absently observed it before rapidly clicking his mechanical fingers. A moment later, the door to the back opened and a short clockwork doll, dressed as somewhere between a maid and a nurse, entered the main shop area.
"You called?"
"Yeah, what do you think?" Amon replied, handing one of the smaller machines to the doll.
"...Acceptable. Fairly inefficient in certain ways, and some parts will wear out far sooner than others, but overall assessment: acceptable," she replied after carefully looking over the device before handing it back to Amon.
"Thanks. Oh, this is Abby," Amon said, gesturing to the doll. "She's pretty much my go-to in terms of medical care...and sewing in general, so needless to say, she's an expert in that area."
"How do you do," Abby replied, giving a little curtsy.
"And Mr. Grumpy over there is Abe," Amon continued, gesturing to the back door, where another short clockwork doll can be seen leaning on the door frame.
"Hey," Abe replied, giving Giddeon a lazy glance beneath his hat.

Giddeon turned to face the dolls. "Pleasure to meet you both," He said, curiosity showing on his face, "The name's Giddeon," He paused, unsure of what to do or say next.
"Well..." he hesitated. "Do all of my wares check out, at least at first glance?" a hint of nervousness in his voice. "I can't say that I'm the best, but I feel that the quality of my work is reasonable. I can fill out any forms, take any tests right here, right now, because I made my whole day free and..." He rambled on, a torrent of words rushing from his mouth, barely giving Amon a chance to speak.
"Eh, like Abby said," Amon replied, gesturing to the dolls as they took their leave. "Adequate. I mean, the more you work on your craft, the better you'll get."
"Other than that," he continued, grabbing a few forms and pushing them Giddeon's way. "I just need you to sign some forms. To be honest, that's really all there is to it," Amon said with a shrug. "I mostly subscribe to the 'sink or swim' mentality, so how far you go is all up to you."
"Any questions?"

"Just one,", Giddeon said, setting his eyes intently on Amon. "Would you by chance like a massage? You seem to be quite tense, and I am quite good at it,"
Giddeon gave a slight shrug. "Consider it a form of thanks, for helping me along with this whole process. If not right now, I'd be happy to have you stop by my shop sometime. We could get coffee and chat afterwards," Giddeon began looking over the various forms as he said this.
"...I'm good, thanks..." Amon replied. "But yeah, I'll visit sometime. Just take your time filling this out and return it at your earliest convenience."
"Have a good day!"
