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

"Well that's better than what I had." Zona said as she glanced at the girl, "I lived in an abandoned house that was surrounded by garbage, and falling apart on me left and right..." Smiling at the thought of her now destroyed house she looked back down at the ally, it was getting late and she needed to get going. "If ya don't have a place your welcome to stay with me for the night." Zona said trying to be nice.

"I manage to stay at some of the cheaper inns. I was raised in the Merchant District so I know how to get a bargain." She grinned. An abandoned house? Elaine wasn't poor but she wasn't rich either. That whole ander skirmish going on made it hard for her parents to get where they are now. But fate was kind to them. "That would be great if you didn't mind." She could stay the night and be gone early tomorrow morning. She had to find a spot in the streets of the Theater District to sell some of her sketches before it got ridiculously full. Speaking of which she turned her sketchbook over in her hand. A replacement was in order but that would have to wait a bit.

"Well lets go then." Zona said as she walked over to the other side of the building away from where all the other people were. As she stepped up on the ledge of the building she turned her head slightly, "Oh, and I hope you don't mind cats." She said before taking a step of the building and landing effortlessly on the ground below, turning she began to walk out of the alleyway and down the street.

"Great! Cuz' I got two." Zona said as she made her way down the street, staying well away from the few people who walked down the street. She headed for the merchants district and took a few short cuts through several alleyways to get home a bit quicker. "Well... here we are." Zona said as she stood back and admired her small house, it was a gift from a very well off... friend?... yay he was her friend. It was a nice, clean, rather new, two story house. It had a small kitchen with a dinning table and sitting area, and an upstairs bedroom big enough for a larger bed. Zona took the keys from her pocket and fumbled a but trying to get the key in the lock, a few minutes later she got the door open. "Sorry about that. This is a new house and I've never had a door with a working lock before..." Zona said with a bit of embarrassment in her voice, thinking it sad she never had a house with a working door before this.

Elaine followed as close as she could. Zona finally stopped in front of a quaint two-story house. "It's absolutely wonderful!" Elaine's green eyes took in as much as it could. She smiled as Zona tried to open the door. "You'll get the hang of it soon I promise. My parents didn't have a working lock either till we moved to the Merchant District. I used to sit outside and watch my father marvel at the contraption for hours while I played. It makes me laugh now to think about it. He loved to tinker with anything that had gears." She tried to squash her urge to giggle. Shrugging at Zona she waited to be invited inside. Her mother had practically burned her manners into her memory. Annoying as it was when she was young it got her out of some sticky situations and put her on the good side of many people.

"Well... Come on in..." Zona said unsure if those were the right words to say, she had never invited anyone into her house before. "Well it only has one bed, so you'll have to sleep on the couch... hope you don't mind." Zona walked in and began her way to the kitchen only to be stopped by a small cat, "MMMMEEEEEOOOOOWWWW!!! Meeeeooww mew moow, meeoow!" The small cat looked up at her with large eyes as he circled her legs, stopping he began to paw at her feet. "Well hello there! Ya miss me?" Zona said as she bent down and picked up the kitten, excitement rushed over the small cat, "Meeeeoooaaww!" Rubbing his face against her cheek he began to purr loudly.

Elaine gave a small nod and walked in. "The couch is fine by me." She smiled when she saw the cat greet its friend in such a manner. "It's cute! What's it's name?" She asked quietly admiring the feline. It was very fluffy, a kitten for say. It was delighted to see Zona. The house was well suited for one person and her feline companions. "You have a restroom?" Elaine wanted to change her shirt and take off the jacket. It was getting rather warm. Reaching into one of the various pockets at her waist she drew out a ribbon, then proceeded to pull her hair back and tie it. Washing up a bit would be good.

"His name is Jay, his mother should be somewhere around here." Zona said as she looked around for the other cat, Jay began to crawl up onto Zonas shoulder as he too looked for his mother from Zonas shoulder. "Oh, umm the bathroom is upstairs and to the left... Its small, but hey it does its job." Zona turned and half pointed half gestured to the stairs, turning back around she walked over to the kitchen area and opened the cabinet looking to see what was in there, "Well I have some bread and I have some meat... I could make some sandwiches if you want, or there is some fruit if you just want that..." Zona offered unsure if her guest was even hunger of not. Before Elaine could get up the stairs Zona remembered something and shouted up the stairs "Hey! Watch yourself... Someone likes to hide in the bathroom, so... ya... just watch yourself."

"Jay? That's quite suiting I'd say." Turning to go up the stairs she heard Zona call out a list of food. Sandwiches? Or fruit? I guess fruit."Fruit sounds great!" She froze as she was about to open the bathroom door. Someone hides? The other cat! Cautiously she pushed open the door. She searched for a light. "Aha!" Just as she turned it on something jumped out past her. "Bloody 'ell!" Elaine cried. Then busted out laughing as the cat looked at her oddly. "Well I was warned." Giving the feline a pointed look Elaine shut the door making sure the cat was out and pulled out her white shirt. It wasn't her favorite but it certainly was better than what she had. Changing quickly she shoved the dirty blouse down into her satchel. A sink gleamed at her. Testing the water for a good temperature she cupped her hands and splashed some water onto her face. Scrubbing some dirt away she dried her face with the back of her jacket. It thankfully was still clean. Elaine walked into the kitchen area to see if the cat had made it's way downstairs after giving her a bit of a fright. "Sneaky furball you've got there." She said humorously.

"Alright fruit it is!" Zona said as she grabbed the bowl of fruit on the counter and brought it over to the table, suddenly a scream came from upstairs, Zona smirked as see looked over to the stairs waiting for a cat to come racing down. Right on time, the cat came racing down the stairs. "Why must you stay in there?" Zona said as she looked down at the cat, "Meeeoooowww..." The cat just looked back up at her with a face that said 'I do what I want', she then ran off, jumped up on one of the chairs near the window, then sat on the window ledge, staring out the window. Zona sighed and walked back over to the cabinet, grabbed the dry cat food and poured it into two bowls, a small one and a larger one. Once they were both full she put the food back and set the two bowls of food on the ground, in a corner of the room, so they were out of the way and no one would step into it. Once the food was on the ground Jay immediately jumped down and rushed over to the larger bowl and began to eat, Tilly just sat on the window ledge and looked over at the kitten, rolling her eyes she looked back out the window. Zona stood there and laughed at the two cats as she grabbed two glasses and a bottle of wine, she had been meaning to open it since she got this new house but never had the right occasion to open it, but now she did.

"That cat is faster than lightening!" Elaine joked as she descended the stairs. Smiling she took a seat. Elaine noticed the kitten feasting away in the corner. His fur was fluffed out and made him seem more like a ball of fuzz then an actual animal. Zona was opening a bottle of wine. Wine? Well that's fancy. A glass and a chat wouldn't hurt." From her seat she scanned the fruit bowl looking for an apple. "Do you like living here?" She asked as she reached for a the shining red fruit. A conversation starter she guessed. It was better than nothing. Absently studying the apple she had rescued from the bowl. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed the cat that scared the daylights out of her sitting on the window sill in the other room. I'm not going in there again unless I know where that feline is.

"Ya she is, but when you live on the streets your whole life you kind of have to be..." Zona said as she looked over at Tilly who was staring out the window, she wants just talking about the cat. Turning back around she took and set the glasses down and poured the wine in them, pushing one of them towards Elaine Zona sat down and took the other glass in hand, "Do I like it here?" Zona asked in a rather joking voice, "Like it? I love it!" A large smile erupted from Zonas face. "I've always wanted my own place with, you know, a real roof that works and walls with windows instead of holes. And well, when I was given this place, I just didn't know what to do or say." She said as she spaced out a bit, her smile leaving her face. "It really is something different... and I'm still not quite used to living here yet." Zona said with a small smirk came from her lips, snapping her out of her daze.

Elaine smiled at Zona's enthusiasm for living in her own home. Taking up the glass she took a few sips out of it. She still hadn't taken her gloves off, force of habit was her guess. "You'll get used to it in time. And whoever gave it to you must care about your safety a lot." Elaine replied sitting the glass down. "Your not the only one trying to get used to something, I'm in a bit of a transition myself." Giving a small laugh. It seemed silly that she had wanted to leave her parent's safe home and search for somewhere with danger. But at least she wasn't a rogue. After a short study of the apple and seeming satisfied with the red fruit she bit down into it. It was sweet and juicy, with a crisp flavor. "This is delicious." Elaine confirmed slightly amazed.
