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
“Oh beloved daughter, or dearest little chic! Do your old coot a favour, this old man with his cricket-y bones and shoddy eyes.” Vieka griped to herself in a fake, shriveled tone, a rather unpleasant expression painted on her pale face as she stalked through the unfamiliar streets of the theatre district, simple low healed boots clicking against the stone paths. “I heard there's some lovely gems in the shapes of cogs! Oh wow wonderful it would be, if a young sprog like you could pick some up for your dear ol' sycophantic dad. Easy for a young'un he said. Simple he said! Simple my arse!” she guestured, completely ignoring the stares she garnered off of everyone around. Oh yeah, look at the crazy lady, stare at her as she walks by. That'll stop her talking to herself, you show her!
A nasty look quickly stopped the stares. “Old coot knows I rarely leave my work shop, knows I was busy, but oh no, lets send her to a place she's never been before to look for something that probably doesn't even exist.” Shoving her hands in the pockets of her long embroided coat, she barely even passed a glance at the passing stores, hardly looking for these so called cogs.

She's New, Mulven thought to himself as one of the neighboring shop doors opened, and out walked a tempered merchant. Of course, he could be wrong, but something in the way she carried herself spoke of Mingo's pride. He was going to introduce himself, but she blew right past him in an angry huff.
"OoooKayy.." he stuck his hands in his pockets and followed at a polite distance. He didn't need to meet her right now, really, but he was bored, Amon ran out of uses for him when it came to those clockwork dollies of his and Mulven needed a respite anyway. The woman was babbling. Something about an old cook with crickets from what he could understand. Maybe she'd eaten at a shady restaurant and was furious they'd served her crickets in her soup? He was just working on a come-back for that one when she mentioned cogs.
"Excuse me! I know where you could find some cogs, but uh," he quicken his pace to roll up along side her, no introduction, just a lure for her problem, "You're heading the wrong way. That's the entertainment district over those railroad tracks, you need to turn around if you're looking for cogs."
it was another nice day in Lodan , Eryn was enjoying a new game that she saw other kids playing , they called it hop scotch and it was fun , jumping back and forth singing a song , Eryn used one of the song she heard from the theater plays she saw one night as she skipped to lodan's bridge is falling down.
it was only then she saw a new person coming down the road. a woman she looked very very different , Eryn came over wanting to meet this new person as she got in front of the woman, she had a coat on and looked liked she spent her time inside a lot. however a man came over to the woman and started talking to her. however this did not deter Eryn away from saying hello and it would be a hello to both of them.
(rushed but close enough)
"hello there , i never seen you both before around ? are you looking for s s something?" she asked , taking a little spin in front of them , maybe to impress them and help the theater get more customers .

The sounds of someone calling out to her made her pause, turning her eye (with nose up) at whom ever was addressing her. No-one she recognised for sure, what with his somewhat dishevel look and casual attitude (not that she could talk), although she supposed she shouldn't be surprised. She didn't know all that many people if we're honest, and those she had met she didn't bother to remember.
Opening her mouth to reply, probably something along the lines of 'sod off I don't know you and I don't care' she was promptly interrupted by another one, a young girl in a dress doing some awkward twirl for whatever reason. She radiated happiness, and it made Vieka want to shoot puppies or something to get rid of the sickly sweet taste in her mouth. 'This is why I don't go outside. I just seem to attract the wierdo's like fly tape or something.' came the dry scoff in her head.
"Do i have a giant glowing sign above my head or something that says 'looking for help and conversation?'" she drawled flatly, looking up and making a show of looking for some invisible sign floating around her head. Today did not seem to be going well.

Elaine bolted down the street at full speed. She wasn't in a hurry she just wanted to go for a run. Sprinting through the street she dodged pedestrians and animals. A few dogs giving chase making her laugh. Coming upon a rather large crowd she swerved off to the side but instantly put on the brakes as she came up to a group of people. There was a woman, a man, and the little girl from her own guild. "Uh, terribly sorry..." She started.
Eryn could see that this lady looked like some of her or people she know , like Iacomus or Max . but unlike them she had an odd smell to her , but never the less Eryn tried again "hay whats wrong? i only wanted to know if ya new and stuff , am Eryn , i live in the theater district with the person who own the district, and am friends with everyone in both this district and the market district " she said with a smile , trying to explain everything about her self that every known, leaving out the part about Being a spy and the putting people to sleep part about her life.

Stupidly, Mulven looked up for this 'sign' when she looked up for an imaginary sign. He coughed into his hand to cover up the motion and turned his rapt attention on the kid to avoid anyone else's being on him. A third party member showed up , nearly bowling them over while she was at it. Man. pause for ten seconds on the sidewalk and attract a mob. He gave a lopsided grin.
"Maybe youre famous," He answered the woman with an attitude.
Aaaaaand here comes another one, nearly running into them and making a multi-man pile out of them all. She's beginning to think there truly is an invisible sign above her head. That crazy old coot must've put it there, thought it would be absolutely hilarious to watch her flander and fluster in these horrible social interactions. Totally his fault, dunno how he did it but he did without a doubt.
Rubbing one leather gloved hand over her eyes and briefly over her temple, she can practically feel the head ache coming on. “Shouldn't run around like that. People are rough, if you run into one they might not be so nice. Like me for instance, I'm the kind of not nice that doesn't make friends” she stated bluntly, her eyes sliding over from the new girl to now to leer at the girl who was practically give her tooth ache just looking at her. “The kind of not nice that couldn't give my arse end from my shoe as to who you are or what you all want.” she continued, now giving her piercing stare to man to show how un-amused she was. well, if they didn't understand that, she knew they apparently were illiterate enough to not understand English... hm.... 'sadly not as unlikely as it should be.' she thought with a flat expression.

Elaine narrowed her eyes at the woman. Completely unfazed by her sass after learning to work with the old drunk named Archie. 'Grumpy thing isn't she?' But she couldn't help but smile at the man's comment. Elaine was ready to meet the woman's gaze easily. 'Go ahead, test me. You don't make friends with Archibald Lachlan and not learn a thing or two about dealing with irritable people.' She thought with a smirk.

"Now now, not that I blame ya, but you're gonna make the wee one cry with that kind of lip," well dung, since when did he care? Mulven stared at the little one like he needed to figure out why he cared, and she was the answer. Elaine faced off with missus I-dont-give-a-dung while he worked out the puzzle. Must be Rava, he thought, turning me soft.
"well thats not .n.n.n.nice" Eryn said as she tried to figure out why this woman was so resentful "listen , sometime p people are not bad , i. i myself have been in lodan for s sometime now. there alot of n nice people , like Amon , or Stephen or Edelweiss ,y you need to give them a chance " Eryn's courage was showing , after what happened to her she had become a lot better with dealing with people and this lady was no exception.

This was getting stupid.It felt like she was opening her mouth and conversing with a bunch of bricks, and frankly the bricks would have made better conversationalists. And what on earth was with that challenging stair she was getting from the green eyed brunette? did she say something challenging?...
oh no....
oh good god no. it couldn't be.
they couldn't be thinking.... of getting her to be their friend as a challenge right?
oh no no no. we're not having any of that. She needed this conversation to end right now.
"I just said I'm not nice didn't i brat? don't care if there are people who are pleasant or can bloody yordal the city theme tune out there. In plain and simple terms since none of you seem to get it-" she gestured at the three musketeers, "GOODBYE." she grouched out, throwing her hands up in exasperation and turning on heel, speed walking away from the three.

"She has quite the approachable nature doesn't she?" Elaine asked the others loud enough for the fleeing woman to hear. She looked over at Eryn. She didn't know the little one well but they were in the same guild. All the more reason to stand up for her. "Hey, better luck next time." She said with a small smile. "Say," Elaine turned to the man, "You wouldn't have happened to catch anything she said before now did you? I'm Elaine by the way." The dark haired girl held out a hand. She was considering following the wild ball of anger.
Pyre swaned over to the small crowd and leaned against a nearby wall. "Well this is quite the commotion." He chuckled to himself and nodded "Mhmm, that one looks like trouble." He pushed himself of the wall and span around on one heel now walking backwards away from the group. "Almost forgot to ask, what was her problem?" The nosey man looked persistently at the group.

Lasair had spotted Elaine from a distance, noticing her running. He wasn’t sure what the problem was, but he wanted to help her out. As he tried to catch up with her, she bumped into some and a crowd of people quickly formed, with one lady in specific at the center of it. He held his distance and watched them, debating on whether he wanted to approach or not. Just then the lady at the center of it all stormed away from everyone, looking rather frustrated.
Well, this could be interesting. He decided to approach the woman and see if she needed any help. Or like, just wanted to complain to someone. Pushing through the crowd, he came up next to the lady and waited a moment or two before speaking. “You seem frustrated,” he began casually. “Is there anyway I could help you out? Perhaps buy you a drink? A beautiful lady such as yourself shouldn’t be feeling down for any longer than she needs to.” He smiled at her, hoping his generosity would be received well. And if it wasn’t, well, then this would be more fun than he expected.
