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

"Great," he said louder than he had meant, "now we just need to find somewhere that serves ice cream this late at night." He put his fingers to his chin in a thoughtful gesture. "Any suggestions?" He asked the girls. Just because he was a sugar fiend, didn't mean he knew where to find it 24/7/365.

Zona looked at the boy with a bit of question to her face. "You expect me, the one who steals her food off the street, to know of a place?" She said sarcastically. Turning to Elaine she looked at the girl for an answer, if she didn't have one then they would just have to wonder the streets looking of one

Elaine's eyes widened as they looked to her. "What? Have I got to do everything tonight?" She joked hands on her hips. Turning she motioned for them to follow. "Come on you two." She knew of a small shop that sold tasty things and probably had ice cream. Even if the front was locked there was a back door. "You two might lose your heads if you didn't have me." She mumbled to herself grinning. She could leave the money on the counter if the owner wasn't still up. He liked to star gaze in the later hours and spy on his rival across the street. Odd man he was, but the odd ones were usually the ones you needed to meet. She led them down the street listening to see if anyone would strike up conversation.

"I've been loosin' my head and findin' it all on my own, Thank You!" Zona said as she crossed her arms and began to walk behind the girl, "Besides I've been doin' that since before you were born." Zona joked, knowing she was older than the girl by a few years, not many but enough that Zona could use against the girl. On the other hand Zona had no clue how old Jasper was, he acted so young but looked older than the way he acted. He was a slight mystery to her, at least age wise.

"'Since before you were born?'" Jasper couldn't help but laugh at Zona's choice of words. "What are you? Eighty years old?" He looked at the two with a smirk of amusement. "I'm sorry, but what you just said was ridiculous." He chuckled again with a joyful shake of his head. There was no way the pair was separated by more than five years.

"Hey now, I have a few years on the girl. Not many but enough that I can actually say that." Zona said as she stuck her chin up some and continued to walk off. "I would say that to you too, but hey. Your just that guy that acts like a kid... Or at least I think you are..." Zona said as she pondered the mans age again, still wondering.

The feline smirked before giving a lighthearted shrug. "You know what they say: Ignorance is bliss, and while I might not be as ignorant as I seem, I intend to live in bliss for as long as I can." His smile grew wider. He was acting like an adult again, but at least it was all in good fun this time. "So, Elaine," he called past Zona, still smirking, "are we there yet?" He said with a mock childish whine in his voice.

Elaine listened to them bicker with a grin. "So help me I will turn this group around!" She called teasingly pointing a finger at them over her shoulder. Then she heard Jasper ask if they were there yet. "Almost so be patient." The girl finally took a left at a peculiar little shop and twisted the handle. "It's open." She said before going inside to hold the door open for the others. The shops owner came downstairs rather flustered at the sight of customers. Elaine raised an eyebrow at him and the binoculars in his hand. The man hastily hid them behind his back. "May I help you?" He asked. The girl motioned to her friends. "Ice cream for the lot if you would." He nodded and went behind the counter to the glass display of various types of the frozen treat. Elaine didn't want to get to close to the oversized ice box for fear of mechanical parts. Keeping her distance she asked politely. "Strawberry please." She stepped aside and looked to the others so they could order.

Jasper chuckled at the brunette’s response; they were acting just like a dysfunctional family of sorts, and he was definitely enjoying it. As the trio arrived at the store, he doubled his pace and reached out to grab the door to take Elaine’s place as doorman. He extended his free hand to invite the girls in.
"Ladies first." He said with a courteous smirk.
He waited for the girls before stepping in himself, and then watched as hid brown-haired companion ordered first.
"Hmm." Jasper hummed audibly – stepping forward to order – as he looked over the counter at the menu. "Can I have one scoop of everything?" The juggler asked politely. "You can just put it all in a big bowl," he stretched his hands out before him to emphasize just how big he wanted the bowl to be, "oh, and cover it all in fudge, please." He finished with a happy, "thank you" smile.

Zona walked in after the girl, and gave the boy a small nod as a thank you. Her eyes went wide as the boy ordered. "My God..." Zona said as she stared at the boy, "How can you eat all those sweets without gettin' sick?" Zona asked with a raised eyebrow. She liked sweets as much as the next but that was rather ridiculous. Turning her head some she looked at the man, "Just vanilla." She said as she stood next to Elaine.

Elaine snorted at Jaspers' order and the man behind the counter looked distraught. But he did as he was asked and the blue haired girl ordered something simple like the brunette, much to his liking. He made the girls' treats first and handed it to them. "Thank you!" The girl said cheerfully as she took her ice cream. Then he set to work on the mans ludicrous order. He handed the boy his with a flat expression of dislike. Then he held his hand out to the boy, pay up. "I got it." Elaine said stepping forward to drop the money on the counter she had fished from he pockets. A small mechanical bird next to her hand trembled lightly at her presence. 'Why do I come here again....' She thought eyeing it before backing away to a table on the far wall.

"Years of practice." The juggler half-joked at Zona's inquiry.
Noticing how the mechanical bird quivered as Elaine's hand neared, Jasper flinched the slightest bit. If that was his hand, either the little animatronic would have exploded before the tips of his claws had reached it, or he would have gotten a rather painful shock, and then the bird would explode. The youthful man gave his head a gentle shake and focused back on what was important: The ice cream monstrosity he had just requested.
It took all he could to prevent himself from hopping with impatience, but just before temptation began tickling at his throat - trying to get him to groan or shout - the storekeeper handed him the large bowl; it was smaller than he asked for, but it didn't matter, at least he had his ice cream! The Ander sugar addict outstretched his hands and took the bowl, careful to avoid any possible trinkets that might shock him, or worse. "Thank you." He said much louder than he intended.
After safely receiving his frozen treat, he turned to join his compatriots. "What are you waiting for," he laughed, "dig in." And with that, he shoveled a large spoonful of the sugary abomination into his mouth, shuddering in pleasure as the flavors of chocolate, strawberry, mint, cherry, and various vanillas melted over his tongue.

Zona just stared at the boy for a few moments with a look of shock and disgust on her face. "How in the hell does he do that?" Zona thought to herself before slowly turning away from the boy to look at her own treat. It had been a while. Taking a spoonful, though not as big as Jasper's, Zona shoved the ice cream into her mouth. The flavor of vanilla was something she absolutely loved. Zona munched on it some as it melted in her mouth before taking another spoonful and doing the same. Chew, melt, swallow, repeat.

Elaine happily ate her strawberry deliciousness while casting glances at Jasper and his monstrosity. It made her very glad she had only gotten one flavor. She couldn't ever imagine mixing them. "Bit of an oddball didn't he?" She said not motioning to the blue haired boy but the man with binoculars up behind the counter. The man soon got the feeling he was being watched and turned around spooked to hide the spy glasses again. Elaine just looked away and made a face of well-that-was-weird.

Jasper finished his bowl with one last big spoonful and content sigh. He set the muddy colored dish down on the counter with a thankful smile set on his lips. "Thank you." He said with a small bow of his head and turned to his brunette companion. "And thank you for showing me this place. I'll have to come here more often." He sighed one last time, taking in the surroundings, before setting his mind back on his target for a moment. He walked to the door and set his hand on the handle. "Thanks again. I'll definitely have to pay you back." He flashed his acquaintances one last smile before stepping out into the night, the myriad of flavors still dancing along his tongue. Aaannnnnnnnnnnndddd...SCENE!
