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

There she was. She hadn't made it easy on him to find her - since she looked like she was staying out of eye shot for some reason. Either way he stood up straighter, collected his nerves, and walked up to her.
"Hi there stranger," he joked as he tapped her on the shoulder. Behind his back in the other hand was a small rectangular box. Inside he had spent countless hours under a magnifying glass soldering gears, tweaking the mini springs that connected the clasp to the rest of the chain, and embedding the rhinestones in the center of each. He'd crafted a delicate brass bracelet out of little pocket-watch gears. They were polished to a nice brassy shine and the gems in the center of each link glinted under sunlight. He hoped she would like it. He couldn't afford to buy a gift, but he was handy and could afford to make a gift. He just hoped she wouldn't be disappointed.
"as fate would have it, I'm your secret Santa, and here's your gift." He revealed the little brown box at last and handed it to her. "Merry Christmas, Rava. Go ahead, open it."

Caity had drawn a name she didn't know. But that wasn't going to stop her from making the gift personal. All she had to do was a bit of research and pay an incognito visit to their hangout (in this case, the Theater district) in order to discover what they liked. When she finally saw the person who's name she had drawn, a smile graced her face. She always loved performers in the arts. Now she knew what to get him.
Caity spent the next week browsing the merchants district till she found the right someone with the skills she needed to craft the gift she had in mind. It took another week to complete the commission - wood carving - painting - and all. When she picked up the package her eyes lit up. This was better than she'd expected. She tied each of the hand-crafted items with a real golden wire around their narrowest point. Then she covered them in tissue paper and bagged them due to their unruly shapes.
Caitlin carried her gift to the gates and looked around, curious where her person was. She couldn't wait to see if the juggler would like his gift or not.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
(note this is a big post, and there is alot of art coming , secret santa gifts are coming as septet arts too for each person) Rava was taken away by who her secret Santa was as a tap on her shoulder she was intently amazed " Mulven~" hugged him as soon as they met , and hopefully this time she wanted to make sure this day would make there relationship more. as she was given the gift she want to give her give to him but she still had the secret santa to give to the other person 1st " I missed you Mulven~ hold on one second , secret Santa thing 1st " she said as the person who was her target came "come on , ill do this quickly then ill open your gift and give you the gifts i got for you~" taking his arm as she went over to her target " hay , Army Boy?, your name Andronikos?" asked before she just wanted to do the thing and then take Mulven to the salty dog. so she did what she does best.
\ (quick drawing of what happend, not the final gift but more a moment. hope you like it )
"Happy holidays , enjoy the wine and spices, sorry kinda in a rush here." she said as she 'gave the gift , a bottle of old Eris' Vantage Ca a'lla wine as well as a collection of spices from all different places that would make anything smell or taste nicer then the newest perfumes as a spice scented man is one of the best things that any man could do. returning her focus to Mulven, she took him to the side 1st to open his gift as well as if he had to wait for his gift, she was amazed by the bracelet, she had never saw anything like it before "oh~ wow~ this is precioso~ beautiful~ who made this ?~" she asked as she slowly put it on her arm, to her this was more then just a bracelet. if Mulven know the tradition of her people, he didnt know that a bracelet where she came from was more then just a gift
she turned to face him and blushed and smiled , she was now like a puppy , or clay in his hands , she was smitten for him as she was more then happy~ as the snow started to fall.

Iacomus stopped as he saw the person he had been assigned meet up with a woman, Miss Rava, it looked like. He could see the woman's happiness as she opened the gift by the expression on her face, and he decided he would stay away for awhile and allow these two lovebirds enjoy their gift-giving before he went in to give the builder his present. The organ-seller smiled as he watched the couple, amused. It would almost seem as if his grin was a sweet one. Almost.
Andro has bought something that he thought would work, but truly was unsure if his person would like it or not. He had no idea who she was at first, but after asking around, he was given a description of her general appearance and where she seemed to reside. Later, he spotted her himself, from a distance, and got an idea as to what she would probably like, so he bought that from a store and wrapped it up as best he could in shiny red paper. He arrived at the meeting place as instructed, and waited, scanning the area for his assigned secret santa, but seeing her not. However, he was taken by surprise as a woman with an eyepatch called out to him. Army boy? Was that what he was known as? She handed him a gift a quickly, and told him to enjoy it before turning right back to the man she was with. Andronikos' face turned red as he held the box in his large hands, and mustered a "T-thank you," but he was unsure if she heard him. He had forgotten that he would be receiving a gift as well. Still flustered, he opened the lid of the box and inside was as she said, a couple bottles of wine and some spices. Though he seemed unhappy, he was truly grateful that someone would get a gift for him, even though it was only for the secret santa event... (I love the picture, Rava! It made me laugh! ) (My gift art will be coming soon. School has taken over once again but I will make time to draw them!)
