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 Maeve Blodeuwedd and CAEsAL membersStephen had a problem. A minor problem. Well, actually a big problem. One in which he would need help with. He walked into the assassin's room at the basement of the theater and looked around at the people there. He barely knew any of these people and trusted them about as high as he could climb a tower- which was very little. With an annoyed sigh he took a seat at one of the tables near the edge of the room. Hopefully someone who he at least knew would show up soon. The longer he waited, the more victims his target might get.

It was the start of a new month and Mae was sent to the CAEsAL home theater to collect her earnings. It was exciting, though she tried not to show it, but the prospect of being on a legit payroll was something new for her. She didn't know walking in that she would be sitting with the other guildmates and waiting for hours on end for who knew what. Were they all in the service/entertainment industry? There seemed some very - unapproachable - characters in this room, people she highly doubted knew how to put on a good face for customer service (and that was saying something, considering who she was to judge).
Plunked down at a table and looking about as bloody bored as she felt was her pal Triune, using the term pal lightly of course. He did play a prank on her arranging a fake fiance to make a pass at her. Friends played pranks, right? So... pal. Close enough anyway.
"What's eating you?" She asked, taking a seat next to him.

Stephen nodded to Mae, acknowledging her presence. "Good Afternoon Mae. Oh, just some complications with work, that is all.." he sighed. Now that he thought of it, Mae just might be the person for the job. She technically was not a CAEsAL yet but that was fine. "Are you busy by any chance?" he asked, turning to look at her with interest.

Mae considered the question... glanced around at the room full of buzzards, and sighed. She slapped her hands on her thighs and leaned forward on her elbows.
"Doesn't look like it, maybe I'd be better off coming back tomorrow. This crowd is insane, is it like this the first week of every month?"

Since Zona was new around here she wanted to get a better feel of the place she was working at, she might as well see what was around... that is if she could. With all the people around she could barely see the walls that supposedly surrounded her. From all the new faces and hoods that surrounded her she noticed from the corner of her eye a face she knew well, and another she met a while ago. "Might a well see what their up too." Zona thought to herself as she began to walk over to the table. "Hey! Didn't think I would see any faces I knew around here. Is it always this crowded or what?"

"Good day Diva." Stephen shook his head at their questions "It is not usually this crowded but there is word of a killer on the loose here in Lodan. Apparently he really ripped up a lady by the name of Mary Nichols- it was a brutal killing for sure" Making a face he went on "They are all just excited to find out more information on this killer. There is very little known so far so this is quite the mystery for us all."
"If you are both not busy I have a job; I require some assistance with it. Would you be willing to help?" he asked, turning to them both.
Is is alright that I put Mary Nichols (JTR victim) in this post? If not I could change it!

"I'm not doing anything except explorin' around here, and I don't have to go to my deliver job until next week." Zona said with a smile, happy there was something she could do, with nothing to deliver for Clancys she had tons of free time, "So whats up? What do you need assistance with?" Zona said wondering what she was getting herself into.

"Well, there is a woman who lives at the sky and sea port. She has killed quite a few young men with the help of some other workers at this port. Her name is Lizeth Tirips and her accomplishes are 2 men and 4 women. What I need is someone who can attack them from above and below with me. They know the sky port lifts quite well along with the sewer system. The main goal is to track them all down tonight and dispose of them. Are you willing to help me? I will split the bounty put up for them." Hopefully, they would agree and he would not have to remove one foot off the ground for this mission.

"Well I don't know the sewers as well as others but I've been down there, but I do know the skies! That's my kind of place!" Zona said as a large smile unfolded from her face. Being a winged ander she flew around those skies a lot, 9 out of 10 times it was a night, but she still knew them, that was her home, and the only place she could feel free.

Maeve had been listening to the discussion and finally she snorted and leaned back casually. "There is no spot too high that I can't sink my claws into and climb." She wasn't bashful about her situation in life, and only when work required did she go out of her way to glove and hide the truth.

Their answers could not make him happier. "Splendid. Shall we go then?" He stretched his arms some and double checked to make sure he had all of his knives. "I have some what of a plan already but plans never seem to play out smoothly. Hopefully you are both skilled enough to improvise. The ports might be a bit busy tonight so we must be careful not to be seen. Are you ready? The longer we wait the higher their kill count might become."
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Sept 7, 2014 14:50:06 GMT
"Aaawwww Ya! Lets do this!" Zona said with a smile, happy she was finally doing something tonight, besides she could always come back here later to explore when it is less crowded.

Maeve shrugged casually in deference to the others excitement. "Sure, lead the way and I shall follow," she said, trying to sound all super mysterious - which she was not. Mae might be many things, but mysterious or ethereal weren't among them. Mostly blunt, yeah blunt explained her pretty well. She got to her feet and gestured toward the door. At least they'd get out of this crowd.

Stephen nodded and led the way out. It was a cool night already and he breathed a sigh of relief once outside, happy to be rid of the stuffy, crowded space. "Okay, since I am the only male of the group, I shall act as... bait." He sighed, an annoyed look on his face. "I will need you all to make sure that all the targets are there. We will have to corner them but be sure that they will have some for of escape. That is why I need someone in the sky to keep an eye on things."
