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

"Yeah, of course!" Jasper agreed with a bubbly child-like voice and a quick nod before lifting up his own menu to eye level; he was too hungry to acknowledge, or really notice, the subtle tension between his company.
Each item in the ornate pamphlet looked delicious, even the names, strangely enough, caused his stomach to growl at him almost angrily. Eventually, after a few painstaking turns of the massive pages, Jasper set his eye on his favorite of any page he'd read - the dessert section. A beaming smile placed itself on his lips despite his aching stomach and he began to list out the most appetizing foods in his head. In the end, he decided that an assortment of fruit tarts, two slice of sponge cake, and a small sundae with hot fudge was enough.
A young waitress arrived shortly with a small notepad in hand. "Is everyone ready to order?" she asked with a smile.
Jasper replied with a quick nod before looking over to his table mates. The waitress nodded back and turned towards the other two as well, "and what about you two?"

As Zona looked over the menu her eyes fell on one thing, a pork sandwich with a baked potato as its side. "I'll have the pork sandwich with and Ice tea." Zona said as she handed the menu back to the woman. Turning she looked back at the table and grabbed the silverware that lay there wrapped in a white napkin, unwrapping it she grabbed the knife and began to examine it some; It was just a simple butter knife. "So, what have you two been up to lately?" Zona asked still looking/playing with the knife.

"Not much," Jasper said with a shrug, "though since I can't use my arm," he flapped the slung appendage just enough to call attention to it, "I haven't able to juggle, and I can't much climb trees with just one arm." He heaved a heavy sigh. For a second he dropped his joyous demeanor but noticed his change in his expression and just as quickly perked back up. "So, what about you?" he asked Zona as the waitress finished speaking with Jasper's black-clad table mate. The waitress turned back to Jasper, "and for you, sir?" she asked.
Jasper finished with Zona and looked to the waitress. "Can I have one cherry, key lime, and apple tart, two slices of sponge cake, and a hot fudge sundae, please?" he said with a pleasant smile.

"I haven't been up to much." Zona said as she looked around a bit, seeing what there was to see in this place, "Looking for a new place to live but other than that pretty much the same stuff, just at a slower rate..." Zona said with a smile as she looked down at her still healing leg, not dwelling on what happened too much. "Sorry 'bout your arm though." Zona did feel a little responsible for that, but then again the boy didn't need to be there.

"It's okay." Jasper shrugged with his uninjured arm. "After all, you did take me to the doctor afterwards so I can't really be upset, can I?" he gave the girl a bright smile. "And besides you didn't know your house was going to go ka-blewy, it kind of just happened." He paused a moment to watch the waitress walk away after taking Iacomus's order. "If you don't mind me asking. What is it that you do exactly?" He recalled the a moments before the house incident that her face was rather familiar even before they were properly introduced.

"Me?" Zona said with a bit of surprise, not many people care to know about what she does, "Well... Recently I just started working for a local gun shop owner. I deliver what he makes to his costumers." Zona said with a smile, happy she actually had a job. She could tell what he was getting at though, she remembered seeing him at the guild before but it wasn't like she could just come out and say 'Oh and I also kill people for a living, you know, cuz' I'm in the CEAsAL guild.' That may not roll over to well, especially in a place like this.

With a nod of his head, Jasper listened intently to what she had to say. When she finished, he grunted mentally, that still didn't explain why he knew her.
"So, you're from the Merchants' Guild-?" he asked.
Just as Jasper finished his question, the waitress returned with a silver platter in either of her hands. The smell was intoxicating and almost pulled the blue-haired boy away from his conversation.
"Here you are." the waitress announced as she set the two trays down onto the table - one of which covered in sweets – before she practically ran away from the trio’s table.
"Thank you." Jasper called after the girl, waving her off.
The overpowering aroma filled Jasper's nostrils and in less than two seconds, he had shoved a good portion of a fruit tart into his mouth. As he reached for a second, he paused, recalling his tablemates. His cheeks turned a shade pinker as he removed the sweet away from his mouth and replaced on the plate.
"Sorry." he giggled.

Zona knew what it was like to feel that way, and didn't judge the boy at all, instead she waved him on as though to say 'go on'. She then went on to answer the boys, half asked question, "No. I'm not from the merchants guild." She said blank and matter-o-factly. She then looked down at the food she ordered and began to eat it, not quite as fast as the boy but still at a quicker rate than any normal person would.

The boy nodded almost diligently when the blue-haired girl gestured for him to keep eating. He picked up the tart he had set down and then another, and before he knew it, he was scrapping the bottom of the tall, glass cup for the last few drops of melted ice cream. He set the goblet down on the table and slouched back, satisfied. He breathed a small sigh of relief; with his stomach full he could finally think straight again. "So then, what guild are you from? If you don't mind me asking." He said, returning to his proper sitting position.

"Who says I'm even from a guild." Zona said as she finished off her sandwich, knowing too well not to come out and say that she was with the CEAsAL. "Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you need to be apart of a guild. Besides that's really only if you know how to do something for one of them." Zona said as she took a sip of her drink, "And who needs a guild when your someone who lives on the streets. But I gotta ask... Why do you ask?" Zona questioned the boy, wondering as to why he was asking all this.

Jasper frowned. He didn't mean to offend her, but it seemed he had.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. It’s just I can help but feel like I've seen you before, and I'm not just talking about the incident with your house. I mean even before then." he took a moment to consider whether or not he should continue. He decide that yes, he should. "See. I planned on joining CAEsAL as a street performer, so I sit around the Theater District a lot, and I thought I saw you around there a few times. I just assumed maybe you were a performer yourself." he ended with another apology.

"Of course that's why he was askin'..." Zona thought to herself as she realized she couldn't leave the conversation like this, and that the boy thought he offended her... which she really didn't care. "If ya think you've seen me before its, probably because ya have. Not for long, but a glimpse I'm sure." Zona said as she took another sip of her drink, "If I must say, I'm rather skilled with umm..." Zona thought of a term to use that wouldn't cause others to hide their wallets and jewelry, "Relieving people of precious items that they no longer need to have." Zona said with a smile, not ashamed of being a pickpocketer in the slightest, in fact she rather enjoyed it. "I'm everywhere in the city, every night, so you probably have seen me. But I grantee that it's never long enough for anyone to follow." Zona added with a smirk.

"Okay, that makes sense." Jasper nodded to show he understood what she meant, or at least most of it. He didn't like the part about 'relieving others of their valuables' but she did answer is question so he couldn't complain.

Zona nodded some, as she leaned back in her set from and crossed her arms over her chest, but not before finishing off the last of her drink. "So..." Zona began as she looked up at the ceiling, not staring at anything up there in particular, just looking up there, "Whats the reason ya came here? Your not one of those guys who wants to street preform in all the major cities... Are ya?" Zona asked as she raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy.

(Sorry if this is crap. My internet cut out just as I was posting.) "Oh, no," Jasper answered, "I just thought of Lodan as something of an entertainers' town. I mean there is an entire district devoted to arts of all forms. That and I thought a change of scenery would be nice. I grew up in an orphanage in a small town so yeah." He gave a simple smile. "That, and I made a promise to someone." Jasper thought to himself. Even he had somethings he didn't want others to know.
