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

"Old man!? Well excuse me, ma'am, that was rather rude." He opened his eyes in slits and smirked as he held out the wallet that the girl had taken from Stephen that he had then swiped out of her pocket, "And maybe you should watch your back." He twirled his umbrella around his finger and stood with a confident expression.

Danny took off like an arrow after the woman, his hands bursting in a quick flash of pearl light as he effortlessly caught up to her. ((Haste II)) He grinned a foul smile at her as he snapped his fingers and a pearl glow sheathed the woman for a moment and made her unbearably heavy. ((Slow II)) He dashed ahead and sliced his hand through the air to conjure a large one handed sword made of flesh and bone. He hefted the blade and cut towards the woman's legs in an attempt to hamstring her. "Down!"

"drat IT, drat IT, drat IT!!!" She thought to herself "I've never gotten caught before and now I'm going to die because of it!" Well that's life and she knew it. She when limp and gave in, "Do your worse... I've been at this for over 15 years I knew it would catch up to me some time."

Danny tilted his head and lowered the sword to point at the woman's throat. "I ain' gonna kill ya. Ain' my style... jus' wantcha ta give back whatcha took." Danny leaned in a little closer. "An' jus' be'tween you an' me, ya got an easier mark goin' after Bosk in the 'ovels. 'e runs a bit of a shakedown operation down there, an' 'is wallets pretty fat when 'e's leavin'. Jus'... don' take it all. 'e's got kids ta feed an' all tha'." Danny straightened back up and waited for the wallet to appear. "Now c'mon, jus' gimme whatcha took an' we'll call it square, yeh?"

"I don't have it, before you slowed me down the old man with the hat took it... How could this happen I've never been caught before... Just... How?" Zona asked with a disappointment tone. She had always been so very good at this and now...

Danny brushed his thumb across his nose. "Well, ya mighta been good at it, an' I wouldn'a seen nothin', but Maeve's job's ta see stuff like tha'. An' I'm wilin' to go on what she's sayin'. Reason I caughtcha's 'cause 'a this stuff." Danny gestures with his hand as a small sheen of pearl light coated his fingers before disappearing. "See, ya might be good, but ya ain' magic." Danny raised his hand and let go of the necromantic blade, which disappeared into the air, and reached down to help the girl up. "C'mon... let's getcha looked at..." Danny did his best to help the girl, so long as she didn't struggle.

Though she hated it when people tried to help her, and hated it even more when they touched her, she did need the hand up. "...fine..." She said with a tone, she didn't really mean to have a tone but she was rather frustrated with herself. After thinking about it, and the fact that she could have died here, she should probably tell them her real name. "Thanks for not ending me... And umm... My real name is Zona, Zona Noakes... Ya might as well know."

Maeve watched with moderate interest as it all went down. the part that surprised her the most was how much help Danny - didn't - need from her. But of course if anyone ganged up on him, well, then she'd be a bit more invested in the fight herself. "Pleasure to meet ya Noakes. Now that wasn't so bad was it?" Maeve offered from where she stood. She could feel a throbbing in her face and her body ached in places she didn't know she had. She wouldn't be able to baby herself though until she got out of sight, and back home to her little corner of the hovel. When no eyes were watching she'd give herself a good mental shake.
"No I suppose not, I can defiantly say I've been through worse." She said as she rubbed her arm, the fall and tumble she did earlier made her land hard on her shoulder and in a way that may have dislocated it. "I guess an apology should be given... hu... Well I have a hard time doing that and I'm not the one for the sob story's so I'll say I needed the money and with a wallet like that... Well..." She said with a smirk, just thinking of that money made her a bit giddy.

Iacomus spun the wallet around in his fingers. He planned on returning it to it's original owner, of course, but he thought he would watch what went down first. He glanced over to the woman standing by, and saw a hint of pain in her face. "Oh my, are you alright, Ma'am?" he asked her, his eyes widening and his hand lifting to his bottom lip. Whether he really cared or not you may decide for yourself.

"Well, Stickypaws, nice ta meetcha. M'name's Danny Hepburn, Monster Cartographer an' sole employee of Raven's Flock Deliv'ry Service." Danny nodded his head as he spoke. "We should prolly getcha looked at... 'ey Mae, ya know any good sawbones'd put this girly back t'gether? I don' wanna be responsible fer makin' a cripple, ya know?" Danny did his best to support the woman, but she was getting heavy...

Sawbones? "What the Duck? Danny... what DID you do to her?" So much for going home and spending a nice evening alone wallowing in her own self pity. She sighed and forced her feet to move forward. "I know an apothecary nearby, he might have ... well something..." She only knew that because this joint she was leaving behind her sent a lot of customers that way on the regular.

"Hey now I don't think its that bad that I need to go see a sawbone guy... Its just dislocated, I'll pop it back into place later, its not like this is the first time its happened." She said with a smile trying to lighten the mood a bit. Stuff like this happened all the time for her and she knew how to deal with it without the help of medical professionals. "Besides even if I didn't know what to do, I'd learn, I don't have that kind of money to go hear someone say 'well its broken give me more money and I'll fix it and give me more money so you can stay to make sure you recover correctly' I can figure it out on my own. I always say if they can do it, I can too!... with some time..."

"Dislocater or not... I cutcher legs up pretty nasty. Should get'em looked at jus' in case..." Danny grimaced under the woman's weight. "'sides, I think Stevie'll be fine footin' the bill. Wouldn'ta happened if 'e knew how ta hold onta 'is money." Danny nodded once at his declaration.

During this whole event, Stephen had stood still, thinking things through. First thing he concluded: he wanted that cat. Screw the money, that cat would be his. Second: everyone seemed to jumping to help get his wallet back of interfere with his own personal matters and that was extremely annoying. Third: Do not every piss Danny off. Lastly: all this chatter had made him the brilliant idea he head been processing the moment the girl taken his wallet.
When the girl fell, the cat sprung off he shoulders, managing to hurt itself as well. Which meant his soon to be cat he just been damaged by these idiots. A look of pure death crossed his face. Straightening his jacket, he strode purposefully to the group that we suddenly now friends. These people were crazy; one minute they were threatening pain and all of a sudden they are best buds. "I will take that, thank you" he said briskly to Iacomus, snatching his wallet back. Quickly he walked over to the cat and picked it up, checking to make sure it was not too damaged. The feline was of course, enraged by touching a stranger and started to claw and bite the arm holding it. He produced another treat and offered it to the cat. It hesitated but took it anyways, glaring at him all the while.
Once that most pressing matter was dealt with, he turned to the thief. "Shut Up you indecently tattooed girl" he said in a dull voice "Obviously you are in pain. We are taking you to a real Doctor, not some apothecary" he waved his free hand dismissively in Mae's direction. Suddenly the idea came back to him. A somewhat evil smile crosses his face "I will pay for it and as a treat I'll let you walk out with all the money in my wallet and possibly more. But I get two things in return. First, I am relieving you of your duties to this cat. Second, you will meet me in the theater district later tomorrow evening." Although Stephen's last comment sounded like he was inviting her on a date, it was nothing of the sort. It was a recruitment. The girl had been practically calm during the problem before. She was outnumbered 4 to 1- well technically 3 to 1, he was still not quite sure which side Mr. Lerwick was on. She had guts, was fast and he would not have noticed his missing wallet had Mae not pointed it out. She would make a splendid recruit.
