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

"Mroooowwwww~" Was Stephannie's response to all that petting. It had felt strange being taken from Elaine so suddenly before, but that was alright now. Stephannie liked petting; and being spoiled. She moved a bit on the eyepatched lad's lap to find a better position to stay, wiggled and fluffed up some, then settled down again and fell asleep.

Elaine pondered what Stephen had just said. He was right, there was no enjoyment or dignity in killing. The conversation before her was becoming very, very interesting. Perking up at the mention of EIRAL the girl sat up and dropped her hands in her lap. She didn't hate EIRAL but she did have a personal grudge against them. 'They obviously don't do much.' The ander girl thought. She would gladly let her distaste for the army be evident. Elaine allowed herself a small smile at Stepahnnie's reaction. Spoiled little thing wasn't she.
The cat loving noble smiled down at Stephannie, pleased with the cat's contentment in his lap. For her sake, he could stay like this all day. Alas, he had 7 other felines that waited his arrival back at his house. The laws of mathematics helped his decision: 1<7. With a sigh, he gave the cat a light kiss on the head then straighten up, cat still in his arms. "I must be off. I have important business to attend to," turning, he gave Edel a stern eye "Rest up. The longer you stay in this condition, the more I worry." Glancing at Elaine he gave her the once over before making another comment, "behave." Finally he turned to Amon, took a breath, then held it as he tried to decide what to say to the cyborg, "... Best of luck for the future." With that, he turned to exit the front door, hoping that his attempt to make his odd number of cats an even one would go unnoticed.

And now it seemed like the boys stopped being passive-aggressive on each other and teamed up to convince Edelweiss to sleep. Great, just great. She didn't know if she should be amused or not.
"Stephen, busy as you might be you may leave, but you can't take my cat." No, Stephen, you can't marry Stephannie. That cat is like a fluffier version of you; law dictates you can't become engaged to yourself.

Drat, found out already. The noble paused at the door and glanced over his shoulder to give Edel a sad frown. With an indignant sniff, he turned around a gently deposited Stephannie in Edel's arms. "I promise to return for you, princess. Till then, stay safe." The way he phrased the sentence seemed to hint that Stephannie was a damsel caught in a dungeon rather than a comfortable home. He gave Stephannie one final scratch then turned to leave, shooting a glare at everyone except the cat on his way out.

Elaine gave Stephen a sheepish grin. And tried her hardest not to laugh as he tried to sneak the cat out the door. 'Stephen, come on, you can do better.' The girl thought amused. He was leaving, and the only reason she stopped by in the first place were the children out front. And one thing led to another, namely starting with the second-in-command's head in a cat door. So she supposed she should leave as well and give Edel some peace. She stood and began to make her way towards the back door. "I should be going also, get well soon Edelweiss." The dark haired girl turned to go nodding lightly at Amon as she passed.
"Well, at least they won't hate me as much now...hopefully," he said with a sigh, once the other two left. "In the meantime, you are going to bed. The sooner you get rested, the sooner that wound will heal, and the sooner you'll feel better," he continued, giving Edel a concerned look.

"She's comfortable right where she is, Stephen." The redhead stated with a half-smile on her face. Truth to be told, she guessed Stephannie was just as spoiled, if not more, than Stephen's other cats. "But you can visit to play with her if you want."
Once her second-in-command and Elaine had left to face the kids playing beyond the front door, Edelweiss turned her attention back to Amon. "I don't think Elaine hates you. And Stephen... is simply grumpy and skittish like a cat, if you hadn't noticed before." She chuckled, then raised an eyebrow at his insistence that she should nap again. "And I suppose if I don't consent to sleeping you'll carry me up and tie me to the bed? But very well... I could really make use of some more hours of slumber."

Amon gave her a small smile at the mention of his threat. "So, is there anything else I can help you with? I don't want to overstay my welcome...er...what's left of it," he said, remembering that he did break into her house.

"Well to speak fairly, it's been quite a long time since I last saw people (who weren't children at least), and that's quite soothing in a way." The redhead shrugged slightly, a hint of a smile gracing her expression.
"So you can stay the rest of the day if you want, but probably there'll be nothing for you to have as dinner." Not counting the unexpected treat that was that box of doughnuts, but they're hers. "I don't keep food stocked here, usually it's the children who bring in every meal... the children like Pearl, I mean (not the toddlers who like to play by the front door)."

"Although I appreciate our presence being described as 'soothing,' I will leave you to rest," replied Amon. "If you don't mind, I can have Abby add some more bandaging in an effort to keep your stitches from ripping again...at least while you sleep," he continued.
"Speaking of dinner...maybe when you're feeling better...? Sometime...later?" he asked sheepishly.

"Well... It's worth a try, I guess." Edelweiss consented, looking down at the stitched injury that at the moment was hidden from view under her long shirt. She wasn't sure more bandages would work on keeping her from tossing and turning in her sleep, but well, bad it wouldn't do so might as well give it a shot and let the little doll nurse her again.
She turned from the stairs to look back at Amon when he invited her for dinner. That was highly unexpected, but... "...? Sure." The redhead is not going to pass a free meal, oh definitely not.

Amon froze for a second. "Holy heck she said yes!" he thought, before continuing to follow her upstairs. "...But let's not get our hopes up..."
"Alright then...sometime after you get better. In the meantime...Abby?" he said, directing the doll.
"Certainly," she replied. "Now then, complete immobilization may be impossible, but with enough wrapping, we should be able to make a makeshift corset of sorts, as well as stop too much bleeding in the off-chance of the stitches breaking," she continued, retrieving the medical supplies.
"Ready when you are."

And upstairs they go, Amon included even though he had just said he thought better to leave; that was quick of a change of opinion, or perhaps he was just making sure Abby wouldn't break while near her still or that the twin dolls wouldn't be forgotten there. People were difficult to predict sometimes.
"And hmmm, about the... flying thing, I might be able to help with that if you really want to leave ground." She pondered, thinking of that little song from before and all the mentions to flying and wings in it. Either Amon really, REALLY wanted to fly like a bird, or his mother was a winged Ander... or both. "It depends on how much endurance your metal parts have to magic though."

Amon gave a little smile at the mention of flight. "I appreciate the offer, but my arm can't handle too much at the moment," he replied. "...Though I think I have a way to make that happen...just didn't think about that until now..." he continued, lost in thought.
"Once Abby is done, I'll take my leave," he said, "There is something I want to try out. And...um...I don't know how secretive you want to keep this place, but I could find time to visit you more often..."
