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

She was one hot breath away from socking fancy pants in his good eye when someone in the corner decided to speak up. She hesitated... and got all these conflicting, second-guessing, thoughts about it. She never second guessed herself in a fight. That was odd. Stephen spoke up, his formalities kicking in double-time, and he even offered to walk her back upstage.
"Don't flatter me," she muttered, but the bite from her voice was gone. "I aint docile, an' just cause they know me on the stage doesn't mean they know me. 'ell, none of 'em fancy breeches would remember my face if they saw my true self in the streets..." but she started up the steps anyway, allowing herself to be distracted and shoo'd out.

Elaine watched the two quarrel quietly. She was impressed with Mae's raw sass. But the tension made her shoulders tense without her realizing. Casting a glance around she heard Lullaby suggest an end to the argument and felt a strange relaxing sensation ease into her tightened muscles. She slowly backed up a bit and leaned against the wall. Crossing one foot over the other she wondered about how she was going to get her target but Stephen spoke up again. Apologizing? That was nice of him. She knew he could be downright rude sometimes. Now the fact that he had enough respect for others to acknowledge when he might have overstepped it made her glad the was the second-in-command. He had some goodness in him somewhere.

"Maybe that is the case, but who would want the nobility of Lodan following him or her around all the time anyways. Until we meet again, Ms. Blodeuwedd." After she exited, he waited a moment then turned to look at the others in the room, the polite smile wiped from his face. "Some of you might not know this but I shall reiterate for our newest members: not everyone in CAEsAL knows of this underground operation. That is why it is important that you do not speak of CAEsAL outside of this room. If a performer like Ms Boldeuwedd is spotted down here, alert me immediately." Turning to Jasper, his polite smile was washed off his face, "It was valiant of you to step in but I did not ask for your assistance. Do try to remember that for the next time."
After giving his little lesson, he turned to Eryn, slipping in a viscous glare at Max as he did- he somehow knew that she had been planning to mess with him if a fight had ensued between him and Maeve. Shaking his head, he turned his full attention to Eryn. "I have business with you," he spoke directly to Eryn but his voice was noticeably kinder then before. He had a certain soft spot for the young girl. Edel and him practically raised the girl- one could notice her connection to Edel immediately given by what the girl was eating.
Eryn looked up to Stephen , donut still in mouth, as she started to pay attention to what Stephen wanted to say, she was a bit worried if he would say something that happened to her a few days ago that made a bit of a mess with Unlodan spilling out onto the streets as well as the fight she had the princesses of unlodan . but never the less she nodded to let stephen know she was all ears

Jasper looked away in shame as Stephan explained just how secretive this organization was. He didn't really like secrets. It wasn't that he couldn't keep them, but it just made him feel...wrong when he lied to people. He eyes snapped back to his superior as he spoke to him directly. "Sorry," boy was he apologizing a lot today, and to one person nonetheless, "I just don't like it when people argue. Especially when they've got such a major connection like we do." he was referring to the guild as a whole. There were, in a sense, a family, or at least the boy thought so. He looked down at the ground and crossed his arms timidly in an attempt to make himself look even younger, and maybe win over some of the noble's sympathy. He held the position until Stephan turned to one of the girls. Well, now that that little dilemma was out of the way, Jasper righted his posture and turned to the remaining members of the circle - namely, Elaine, Zona, and Max. "So, where are you all headed?" he inquired curiously with his signature smile. "Any plans for tonight? Specific marks in mind?"

"Well then..." Zona said with a smile as she hopped down over the railing, mainly to get off the stairs but to get out of the way if Mae were to... And there she went right up the stairs. That argument ended as quickly as it escalated, and all Zona did was stand back and watch... This was a favorite past time of hers, either starting an argument with Stephen or Iacomus, or watching one take place. Once on the ground Zona crossed her arms and walked over to Elaine and and stood there for the next few moments before turning to her to say, "So. You and Mae actual sisters or what?" Zona had a feeling the answer was going to be more of the 'or what' side, due to the fact that she couldn't really see any similarity between the two but you never know. Just then Jasper came over and asked something, "Don' kno'." Zona said as she shrugged her shoulders, "I just needed to get a better job, and what happens after that is up for the night to decide." Zona said as she looked over at the board, which was now flipped over to the supply list side.

Stephen's attitude returned. 'That didn't last long.' She thought watching Mae disappear and Z land beside the rail to walk her way. Elaine laughed at Zona's question. "No, we aren't actual sisters. She helped me out once before and that was the story that ended up being told." She turned to the boy who had interfered on Stephen's behalf. Which wasn't taken well by the noble. "I'm here for a job as well." Elaine shifted her weight and re-crossed her feet.
Max had to admit, the new guy Lullaby was pretty good. She knew Stephen and he wouldn’t back down from a fight. But he had, and Lullaby had something to do with it. When Stephen glared at her she glared right back, and not a moment later Lullaby asked everyone a question. “It’s raining outside,” she said plainly, despite it being a bit out of place in the conversation. It was the only reason why she was here; she didn’t need any mark. Max resumed her loitering by standing against the wall. She doubted she’d be needed in the conversation.

Jasper heard Max speak and pounced on the opportunity to chat with her. "Yeah, I can't stand the rain either. It makes climbing difficult." he sighed, looking at one of his claws reflectively. "Falling from a high, wet branch onto the hard, wet ground is not fun." he said with great emphasis on the word not.
It took him a few seconds to recognize his own shift in mood before almost instantly correcting it with another smile.

A bit surprised by Lullaby’s eagerness to chat, Max simply raised an eyebrow to his statement. “I don’t climb. I also don’t mind the rain, just didn’t want to be out in it tonight.” She eyed the man as she spoke, wondering what he wanted with her. At least she was meeting him here, in the safety of the guild, as opposed to out on the streets. One never knew what would happen out there.

"Ehh..." Zona said with a shrugged at both Max's comment about the rain, and Jasper's feelings towards it, "It is just rain. Falling water ain't that bad." Zona understood why some people didn't like rain, but it was just rain... it can't really do anything to you except get you wet. "And besides," She began to add, "Even if it is rainin' that doesn't mean ya can't go some place and just stay there."

"Or send you plummeting to what you think is your death at the age of eight." The youthful assassin scoffed, his smile drooping a bit. "And you can fly." He thought sardonically.

Elaine turned her attention to Max when she mentioned rain. She understood it making it harder to climb. Although she didn't make it a habit to climb. She didn't like to use her claws that way. Elaine raised an eyebrow at Lullaby. How old was he anyway? Leaning over to Zona she asked, "Is it safe to turn the board back over? Or are more people going to tumble down the stairs?"
Post by Zona K. Noakes on Jun 12, 2015 0:10:26 GMT
"Well then don't go climbin' trees in the rain." Zona said in defense, not truly arguing that the rain was good, just more in defense of herself. Turning her attention away from the boy she looked over to Elaine, "I believe so, I'm not plannin' on anyone else joining us who shouldn't be." She said indicating that it was safe to flip the board, she would but she didn't want to walk away from this conversation quite yet.

At Eryn's reaction a concerned frown graced his features, "No need to worry, you are not in trouble..." After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and studied her, "...unless you have done something disagreeable that I do not know of...." Quirking and eyebrow at her, he crossed his arms in front of his chest "You look awfully suspicious for a child eating donuts. Care to fess up now?" Although he was conversing with the youngest member of CAEsAL he could still hear bits and pieces of what the rest were talking about. Really, did they come here just to debate about the weather or were they going to do their job?
