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! Special invite to Maeve BlodeuweddZona had been doing jobs left and right, never really seeming to have a break, but at the moment she was good. She had just finished her last job for the night and collected her pay for it, and with that she was planning on hitting a bar or two then making her way home. She was ready for a day off. She sighed a bit as she took her money, folded it up, and placed it in her pocket. And with that she then made her way up the stairs and out into the house of the theater. Zona turned around for a moment as she stared at the stage. She vaguely wondered what it would be like to be up there, preforming and entertaining. Or even what it would be like to be out in the house, to just sit and watch. She had been to a play once or twice before, but something always seemed to happen that stopped her from actually sitting down and watching the whole thing through. She shrugged a bit as she continued to stare up at the stage.

There was a clatter stage left behind the curtain, then a slew of curse words in a guttural voice. Another Clang! and out tripped Maeve with a string of Edison lights around her ankle and a bunch of wires twisted around her elbow and waist.
When she hit the stage on her butt and scooted a good 6 inches across the hard wood she growled in frustration.
The growl abruptly stopped when she realized there was someone in the isle, looking up at the stage. Her face turned a shade of red almost crimson enough to match her hair. but then she squared her jaw and lifted her chin.
"Weel yah jis' gon' stare or yah gonna get up 'ere and untangle me?" Lets face it, she needed all the help she could get.

Zona stood in a bit of shock as someone came tumbling out from behind one of the curtains. She was a bit surprised to see someone else here, but hey the people who work on making the plays and shows happen can work crazy hours too. "Oh ya, hold on." Zona said as she made her way up to the front before jumping up and landing on the stage. "How did you manage to get yerself this tangled?" Zona asked with a slight smirk as she helped untangle the girl in front of her. In all reality it was rather comical they way she came tumbling out, seemed like it would be something you would see in a cartoon.

"Have yah seen the mess back there?" She nodded her head in the direction back stage. "If the props masters would keep it tidy I wouldn'a be in this mess." She wouldn't take the blame for how this looked. She was a performer, not stage crew. That or a bouncer, she knew her coulds and could nots. and she could not be responsible for managing a show. She could barely master being in one.
"Aint it a wee bit late for visitors?" She asked the blue haired maiden before she took a second look and a spark of recognition hit her memory. Oh dung.... was SHE the stage crew? Well this was awkward.

When the woman turned around Zona couldn't help but stare for a moment. She knew this chick. Right?... She seemed familiar... But for some reason a name couldn't be connected with her face. Shaking the thought from her head Zona offered a hand to help the girl up. "I suppose it would be." Zona replied, realizing the woman didn't recognize her. "And I gotta say, I'm not normally in the way back so I don't really know how bad the mess is. Maybe they need it that way for some reason?" Zona said with a shrug. "Your part of the show right? I think I've seen you before. I can't remember you name at the moment so sorry for that." Zona added with another shrug.

She took the proffered hand and came to a stand. "Name's Maeve. Maeve Blodeuwedd, and yah I'm part o' the show. Singin' part. can't act worth squat." She admitted freely.
"Do you act? What part of the productions are you if yah ain't behind the stage none?"

Just then it hit her. "Oh your the one I met outside the theater a while back. Some thug took somethin' from ya. I shot one of his gang members in the back of the head." Zona said as she vaguely recalled that night, nodding a bit as she remembered some. "Oh I'm not really part of the show, I'm just kind of around." She said with a shrug. "I don't do too much in the back either I'm just here when they need some extra help." She said casually. Technically what she said was true, she was here when they needed extra help.

well that was a grim realization.
She frowned, but still shook the girls hand. Aint like she didn't do a bit o' violence herself from time to time, but she'd never actually.... killed... anyone.
least that she knows of anyway. But she knew exactly what alley adventure this girl was talking about. You didn't forget seeing something like that.
"Got a name to go with that story? Sorry I ain't remember getting it last time." She probably had, but the name at least wasn't coming to mind. The rest however, was in living color.

Zona shook the girls hand as she smirked a bit, realizing she hadn't given her name yet, "Names Zona. And don't worry about that, I forgot your name so I guess were even." She added with a light smile as she took the wires and what not that had entangled Maeve and began to wrap them up. "So have you been working here for a long while now?" Zona asked recalling a few times she actually saw the woman but never long enough to see if she was working here or just passing though.

"Mabbeh a year?" She answered, unsure of herself. How long had it been? "but I think' I'm ready to be done with it for the night. Wanna get outta 'ere?"
She looked down at the wire Zona had wound. The tangled lights she left gingerly on the hooks above the prop table. If that wasn't where they went, too bad. that's where they were goin' now.

"That's just what I was about to do before you came stumblin' out." Zona said with a smirk as she hopped down from the stage and began to make her way out of the theater. "I was plannin' on goin' for a drink. Yer welcome to tag along if ya want." Zona said as she waited for Maeve to catch up to her.

"You are speakin' my language, Zona," Maeve gave praise and made haste to leave the building. She spent enough hours of her day at the theater anyway. Was high-time she got back to the Pub (as a patron, not an employee, not tonight). She led the way to a place just around the corner. Only had to cross to streets to reach it and Wham! They were at the door!

Most people walking into a bar alone did so one of for three reasons: 1- get a few drinks and try to pick up a date, 2- get several drinks and drown their sorrows, or 3- drink like a condemned to try to impress people and embarrass themselves (and/or get tossed out by the bouncers) after getting a tad too drunk.
But Edelweiss' personal notion of getting a drink was different. If there was nobody known in sight she usually just walked in, and chose a seat and something to drink - why yes and thank you - be it alcoholic or not depending on her mood, but what she enjoyed doing was watching other people doing the 3 options above (besides, she still had one hell of an alcohol tolerance and getting herself truly drunk was more expensive on her wallet than it was worth). So after a full day dealing with piles upon piles of paperwork in her office, she figured it was a nice idea to head to the place around the corner for a drink before going home and calling it a night. It tended to be quite amusing, specially after boring days.

Zona followed behind the woman as they made their way across the street. This was a bar Zona didn't normally go to, but its not like she had never been there before. As she grabbed the door and swung it open, Zona glanced around the room to see who all was there. She had to do a slight double take when she was Edel sitting at one of the tables. Taking a few steps in towards Edelweiss, Zona decided to quick say hi before she went to order a drink with Maeve. "Funny seein' you here." Zona said with a smile as she walked over to Edel's table. "I haven't seen you in a while. how have ya been?"

"Good evening, Zona. Maeve too." She replied with a smile and raised a hand in a still wave as she heard the voice talking to her and spotting the two women approaching.
"Indeed, it's been a while. I've mostly been buried in work, but am alright. And you?"
