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

"No, Clancy, I will take you home." Iacomus said as he ushered his partner away from the other two, and send a glare of complete and utter loathing at Lasair.

Elaine marched out of the theater in a huff. "That has got to be the worst flute ever!" She muttered. A musician she had met tonight had just totally ruined her night. "Just because my flute is antique does not mean it is the worst!" Elaine pulled her cropped jacket tighter around her and grumbled to herself. She almost missed the group congregating at the door. She only noticed them after she bumped into a taller man with dark hair. "Sorry! I didnt see.....any of you there." Stopping to assess exactly how many people she had just seen. One with blue hair stuck out like a beacon. "Zona?! Hey, I had no idea you were here tonight! Might have been because of that irritable musician but...life is a party." Elaine turned to the man beside her whom she had bumped into. Did they call him Iacomus? Whatever. "Elaine Annecroft, pleased to meet you all. Except for you Zona, I already know you." Grinning Elaine poked her friend on the shoulder. Aa rather nice looking man stood in front of Zona. Elaine looked at Zona and gave a smirk. It was just that look that two girls pass when they see something nice. Hopefully she wouldnt get elbowed.

“Why hello, Elaine. As the others have heard, and probably are tired of hearing, I am Lasair Landevier Lupen,” he chuckled as he spoke, unsurprised that she looked to her friend with that look girls have. Looking towards Iacomus, he noticed a coin on the ground near his feet; he realized it had been his and it fell from his hand when Zona bumped into him. He reached down and picked it up, offering the gold piece to Iacomus. “It appears you’ve dropped a coin, good sir,” he said with a grin. He took the look of hate from the man as nothing more than a bad first impression. And that can be changed with the right amount of effort.
Zona rolled her eyes as a bit of pink came up on her cheeks. Zona gave the girl a small shove as a grin came over her face, it was nice Zona finally had a female friend she could share looks like that with. "Good to see ya EL, how ya been?" Zona said trying to change the subject a bit, as she looked over at Lasair she noticed him pick up a coin from the ground and give it to Iaco, whether it was Iaco's coin or not Zona could tell Lasair was trying to get on Iaco's good side... That would be interesting to see.

Iacomus snatched the coin from the boy and held it in between his forefinger and thumb. "Why thank you, Mr. Lupen, I do... appreciate it." He hissed as he made sure to be looking down on Lasair with spiteful eyes when he said it, even though there was only an inch or so between them when it came to height. This coin was not his. He only had notes on him at the moment. This person was obviously trying to win his affections, and that would simply not come to pass... Not with Clancy on the line, that is.

Smiling she rocked back from the shove. Then regaining her balance she brushed her hair back out of her face. "I've been absolutely wonderful!" Elaine said sarcastically. She pulled her flute out of her bag and held up the ancient instrument. "Does this look bad to you?" She held it up for Zona to see. But the interaction between Icaomus and Lasair caught her attention. He obviously didn't like him. And he was holding that other person defensively. Elaine put on her best smile just in case he looked in her direction. She did not want to be on his bad side.

Zona watched for a moment as Iaco hissed at Lasair and turned her attention back to Elaine as she pulled out her flute and asked her about it. Zona was never a musical person and had no idea what was to look go and what was to look bad, shrugging Zona said, "I'm not the greatest person to ask that question to, but from the few instruments I've seen, that doesn't look that bad... At least I don't think it does." Zona thought for a moment, "But I cant say someone else with a bit more money would say the same... I've seen several in conditions like that thrown away in the garbage before, so I'm not sure if it is good or bad..." Zona said, unsure of what to say and if what she did say was the right thing.

Continuing to smile as Iacomus took the coin, Lasair carefully decided what he would do next. And how to say it so that everybody would agree. He took half a step back, cracked his knuckles, and addressed everyone together. “Well, it was great meeting you mister Lerwik. As much as I would love to accompany you with taking mister Clancy home, I have a feeling you would rather do so yourself. I also have these two beautiful ladies to entertain as well, and unless Clancy wants us to join you, I’ll leave you to it.” Lasair ended with a small bow, hoping his well chosen speech had the desired intent.
Looking to the ladies now, Lasair noticed the rather rugged flute that the girl Elaine held. It was in okay condition, but one could always find one better. “Elaine, I see you have taken out a flute. It looks a bit worn and beat up, but does it still play? Could you demonstrate?” he asked, showing a grin full of his perfect white teeth to both her and Zona.

"Yes it is a bit old but they only throw them out once a key breaks. It can easily be repaired. I got this from a shop down that way." Elaine pointed the flute south of their direction. A musical shop Stephen had showed her on her first trip around Theater District. That's how she met the noble and Max, a fiery girl with a very prominent attitude. A grin at the memory Elaine nodded at Lasair's request and raised the flute to her lips. She allowed the first melody to come to mind drift out of the ancient instrument. It played fine and none of the notes faltered. Some nearby travelers stopped to listen for a moment. I'm not doing the whole song. Elaine thought as she kept playing. The melody was one her mother had sung to her years ago. She had practiced for hours on this one to make sure she had the tempo correct. Playing the intro she smiled as Zona and Lasair. Ending her small concert she gave a little bow. "I had the broken key fixed. How was it?"
Clancy had momentary blacked out, having lost most of the conversation as he slumped against Iacomus. With a start, he jerked awake again when music reached his ears. Blinking with confusion, he turned to the source of the beautiful sound. Ah, a girl was playing the flute! With a grin, he listened, swaying a bit with the music. Once she was finished he clapped loudly, briefly letting go of Iaco as he walked over to the new girl "Wow yer really good! I ain't lying!! Are ya a professional? You sound like ah professional ta me! Are ya friends with Zona? My name's Clancy! What's yers?" he asked in a chipper voice, eager to make acquaintance with the performer.

A laugh escaped Elaine as the obviously drunk man approached with praise. She gave a small bow to him. "Why hello Clancy! I'm Elaine. And I'm actually pretty far from being a professional. Glad you think I am though." Elaine then returned her flute to her satchel. Maybe she would play in that opening between the dances at the theater.

"Oh my, you are wonderful!" Iacomus said, his usual smile returning to him as he winked in Elaine's direction. "However..." He looked back down at Clancy, who was quite far gone. "I do think we should be heading back..."
Had Clancy not be drunk, he would have seen that the wink Iaco gave meant nothing. Alas, his perception was distorted to some degree, so he became a bit jealous of Iaco's attention to this new girl. Instead of readily agreeing to go home- which in fact would have removed Iacomus from this pretty girls presence, but Clancy was unable to comprehend this- he pouted; saying nothing, he crossed his arms with a huffy frown as he avoided eye contact with the dark haired man.

Zona watched and listened as the girl played her flute, though it wasn't in the greatest condition it did play beautifully. Zona smiled and nodded slightly at the end of the girls song, and listened as everyone complemented her skills. Zona laughed slightly as Clancy got mad at Iaco over a wink he gave the girl, which obviously meant nothing, but as far as Clancy was concerned it did. "Well looks like someone may be getting the cold shoulder..." Zona said with a smirk as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Thank you sir!" Elaine said with a small smile. She glanced around at some of the passers by. Nothing suspicious seemed to be at hand. Just some friends standing and chatting. Laughing quietly at Zona's statement she glanced between the two. Clancy was looking down at the ground and Iaco was looking at him. This would be an interesting exchange. "Well it was a pleasure to meet you Clancy. I hope to see you again sometime."
