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

Zona startled her as she stomped up the stairs and out the door. Jasper came up soon after. Elaine sighed. "Yes lets follow her." She turned and took off at a speedy walk after her fiend. "Zona?" Elaine called out after they got out onto the streets. She didn't wait up much for the blue haired boy. He was youngish, he could catch up. Elaine folded the target that was still in her hand and put it away.

Zona needed to get away, she needed to leave, she needed to fly. If she could just be up in the air just for a little bit, if she could get to the forest she would be even happier, she just.... She needed to leave. Pacing back and forth outside Zona began to take off her jacket and tie it around her waist. Her mind was made up, she needed some time, forget the job she just got, she could do that later. Just as she finished tying her jacket around her waist Elaine came out the door. "What?" Zona said in a voice that was angrier than what she wanted, but that noble just had her all fired up.

The childish assassin nodded seriously to his female companion just before she took off. He sighed, rolled his neck, and then followed the two girls with an equal pace. He stopped at the door and watched the two carefully. If he was needed, he could step in, but Elaine was smart, she could handle herself, and Zona, probably.

Elaine flinched ever so slightly at Zona's tone. Her green eyes looking up apologetically. "I'm sorry." She said not bothering to explain further. Z looked like she wanted to leave. So if she felt like hearing Elaine out that's fine but the girl was willing to let her go. If she didn't listen now she could later. Elaine just wanted to say she hadn't meant snapping at her the way she did. She just didn't want Zona to get into trouble with the noble or the guild. She would rather her friend take it out on her than someone else because Elaine could handle it without getting riled up.

Zona looked at the girl with wide eyes, hate still swirling around in them though. "She's sorry?" Zona though for a moment before she stopped her pacing and stared at the girl. "Why the hell are you sorry?" Zona asked, her tone not as harsh as before but with irritation and something else there. She wanted to leave but she wanted to know why the girl was sorry. God, at times like these Zona wished everyone was a Winged Ander, then they could all fly off away from this place.

"For snapping. I didn't mean it the way it sounded." Elaine said quietly biting her lip. 'And for interfering. I just don't want you in trouble. And I especially don't want you hurt.' The girl thought fighting back words. She didn't need to turn into some whiney, apologetic child. And those words would just anger Zona further. She wasn't much one for sympathy. The girl stood there kind of dejectedly thinking about what had just happened. She wanted to hit the rooftops for a run and be out of the way.

Zona looked at the girl with a bit of surprise, "I'm Not-" Zona began with a bit of harshness to her voice, "I'm not mad at you." She said calmer this time, "It's that drat noble! No matter what, we have always been at each others throats. I just- God I can't stand that bumrag!" Zona said as she began to pace again, she wasn't as mad as she was before, but hate was still swirling round in her some. "I just don't understand why he acts that way. It's like he doesn't understand that other people have lives outside of the guild..." Zona said as she stopped pacing and balled her hands up into fists, "I wish I never pick-pocketed that guy..." Zona said under her breath.

Elaine listened to her rant patiently. She nodded here and there to some of the girls complaints of the noble. As annoying and rude as he was he did have a job to do and he did it the way he thought was best. That way just so happened to disagree with Zona's view of the world. The girl shifted her weight and glanced back to Lullaby. "Wait....you pick-pocketed Stephen? You mean you actually stole from him?" A grin began to spread across the girls face as she held back an uncalled for laugh. She put a hand over her mouth to keep Z from noticing. 'No wonder he hates her.' She thought.

Zona mood lightened some as she heard the girl laugh. "Ya. That was when I first met him and then ended up joining the guild not to long after that." Zona said with a small smile, "He just looked soo.... Weak. At least from the back... I though he was a rich little cleaver that I could make a pretty penny off of. In the end it was the worse pick-pocketing job I ever had... I even have the scars to prove it." Zona smiled some, her mood much lighter now as she shoved her hands into her pocket in a rather happy way, rather than an angry and mad way.

"Well that explains a lot." Elaine teased. She imagined Stephen running after Zona in a comical way as she ran off waving his wallet around. She couldn't ever see them staring each other down in an actual fight. "Was he still irritable back when that happened?" Stephen must have been born to a family of moody wild cats. Elaine grinned as crossed her arms waiting to hear more.

"Oh ya." Zona said with a smile, "He was the first person who ever caught me pick-pocketing and apparently everyone had to come after me because of that." Zona said as she recalled the one person called 'Danny' chase after her. She wondered what happened to them. "God, ya steal one rich guys wallet and ya get your legs slit." Zona said sarcastically, even though that actually happened. Her mood was definatly lightening up as she walked a bit closer to the two, thought deep down she was still mad at the noble.

"Impressive for the moody guy." She grinned. "Yea, look a rich guy in the face and he thinks he caught the cooties." She mumbled partially to herself. She rolled her eyes. A young boy in the central square had said that to her once, he was only like seven. And she was covered in paint so it was kind of weird. "So you ready to go do something fun? Like shopping?" Elaine smirked.

The child-like Ander continued to watch the two girls converse; he was much more relaxed now that Zona seemed to have calmed down. At the mention of fun, he couldn't help but get excited and join the conversation.
"I know," He almost shouted, "let's go get some ice cream. Double hot fudge sundaes anyone?" He said with an expression that conveyed his love for the dessert almost completely.

"Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha ha..." Zona said sarcastically to the girl with a fake smile, "No." A straight face then appeared, knowing exactly what the girl was getting at, though she did want to go have some fun. As the boy chimed in Zona thought ice cream would be a good idea, maybe not the hot fudge double, triple dipped chocolate thing but something. "Ya... I guess I could go for that." Zona said as she walked closer to the two, "Anythin' to get away from this place." She thought.

Elaine dropped her smile at Zona's fake and highly unnerving laugh. She just nodded giving Z an awkward look. "Ice cream sounds great!" She agreed turning to grin at Jasper. She needed a sugar boost tonight. It would keep her awake in the later hours.
