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

Breaking up the 60 pages into digestible "chapters" or stories for the LGG> Here's the first I grabbed from there. Dubbing it" TOYS FOR TOTS, OR NOT
Awa303 Epikuro: *exiting the shop with a box of defective toys to scrap*
RemixedMagic Flos: walked down the streets whistling to himself, not paying attention to where he was going as he looked at the buildings.
Epikuro: *can’t see where she’s going because the box is way too big* .... *bumps onto Flos*
Flos: “Oh--sorry!” He holds up his hands and tries to move around the box. “Sorry about that!” He noticed the box looked super heavy. “Um, do you need help with that?”
Epikuro: Ouch! >__< *notices the thing she bumped to was a person* Sorry too, I can’t see a thing while carrying this. *heard a tempting help offer* Oh yeah, help would be nice, thanks. =3
Flos: “Not a problem.” He smiled at the person (whom seemed very feminine for a male) and took the other end of the box. “Where to?”
Epikuro: The scraps area in the dump.
Flos: “Erm, okay.” He actually didn’t know where that was but started moving backward anyway, hoping the other would guide him there. “All of these?”
Epikuro: The big box fooled you, eh? *laughs* It’s not that much stuff inside but I couldn’t find a smaller one. Thanks for the help anyway, it’s difficult to carry because of the size.
Flos: “I don’t mind at all.” (laughs) “Are you a toy-maker?”
LunieLu has joined
Epikuro: Yep. And you? *looks at Flos (or tries to) over the box*
<Sylris>Hellooo, Remix and Luuuu. ))
<Awa303>hi syl, I see you here~ 8’3 ))
<LunieLu>SO GUYS, what did I miss in the last 3 days? )
** Awa303 has been made a member
of Assassins by Mrakobulka *
Flos: “I’m a musician.” He tries to look over the box as well. “Wow, a toy-maker! That must be lots of fun.” (laughs again) “I used to wish I had toys when I was little, but my folks didn’t have the money for it.”
<Awa303>no idea, I joined just yesterday (a few hours ago) ))
Epikuro: Hm, these here are too defective to sell but some are still playable, if you want to take a look.
Flos: “Well, sadly I think I’m too big for toys now. Now that I’d know how to play with them.” He looks into the box again. “But why are you throwing the still-playable ones away?”
Epikuro: As I said, they’re still in a state I can’t sell them. The scrap collectors will have a better use for it than I would.
Flos: “Awww, that’s too bad.” He looked at them a little sadly. Since he did not know what was behind him, he knocked into an ornamental stand behind him. “Ahh!” [He shot out one hand to stabilize the stand while the other awkwardly held the box at an uneven angle.
Epikuro: Ew, that must have hurt. Are you alright? =/
Mrakobulka Alisher “then maybe you should have given them to an orphanage?” - a tall man appeared behind the two with a small grin crossing his face as he was looking at them - “I guess they could be of more use there if you still won’t get any money for these toys” - he shrugged and then bowed to the slightly - “ahm, I apologies for interrupting you two so suddenly, but I was wondering if you could help me... unless I’m distracting you from something important” - he said politely, stretching a handkerchief to Flos = “ow, I hope this didn’t hurt too much?”
Flos: “Y-yeah, just gimme a sec--oh crap!” The box leaned over slightly too far and he regained both hands on it. He looked at the new man with some surprise, as he hadn’t seen him earlier. Oh shoot, he seemed dapper enough. Did he own that stand? He politely shook his head when he offered the handkerchief, hoping his hat was hiding enough of his face. “I’m fine, don’t worry about it.”
Epikuro: *mentally screamed “GAAH!” when Alisher apparently popped from nowhere, but didn’t let it show on her face and kept her gentle smile* You don’t look fine. Are you bleeding, or have a bump on your head? *leans the side of the box she’s holding, in a gesture to put it down*
Flos: “Oh no no no no, all I did was, uhhhh---” He quickly glanced at the man nervously. “---almost tripped! Yeah, yup! Hahahahaha!” Gratefully, he lowered the box as well.
Epikuro: *not convinced, goes to check Flos’ head*
Alisher He smiled more looking down at Flos - “well, I’m glad you’re fine, sir” - he said politely - “I apologies for interrupting again, but I wanted to ask for your help”
Flos: “I’m fine, I told you!” (Nothing is wrong with his head.) “Wh-whattaya need, sir?”
Epikuro: *let’s go of Flos once is assured he’s fine and wonders what Alisher wants*
Alisher “ah, you see, I’m new to this part of town” - he said giving a slightly apologetic look - “and... I was given an address of a family I needed to visit today, but... these street is so confusing” - he laughed awkwardly - “can I ask you please to show me the building on a map, please?” - he said taking out a sheet of folded paper from the inner pocket of his jacket
Flos: “I’m pretty new here myself. I’m sorry.” He tilts his head in apology.
Epikuro: Can I see that map?
Alisher He opened the map and stretched it to Epikuro. The map was really detailed.... maybe even too much detailed. There were all the streets and plants marked on it, every single building, every single statue. just everything. And what made it worse for understanding were the names of the streets, written in a small barely readable font - “ah, sorry, but that’s the only one I have” - he said giving an apologetic smile to the girl, walking round her to stand at her side, pointing at one of the streets on the man - “I guess we’re here” - he said thoughtfully - “I have found the right street, but I can’t find the house. its number is 17” Epikuro: *finds the excess of details on the map suspect, but as she has nothing to do with that nor that’s the house/establishment of anyone she knows, she simply pointed a house way down the street on the nap* I think it’s this one.
Flos: leaned over a little, hands patiently behind his back, to look at the map so maybe perhaps he could study it a little to get a better sense of the city. He instantly started getting very dizzy due to the map’s dazzling detail and had to look away from it.
Alisher “hm?” - he leaned over the map, narrowing his eyes a bit - “ah,wait! but this is 28” - he said putting his finger to the map while his other hands were out of Epicuro’s and Flos’ vision - “hm. maybe I’ll find it if I go down the street from there” - he said as his finger was following the line marking the street - “ah! here it is!” - he said lively pointing at the map - “thank you for your help, I wouldn’t find it without you... sir” - he said grinning a bit at the last word, giving a sly look to Epikuro. The guys looked very feminine, and alisher though it was really amusing of how many feminine men we’ve met in here. What was wrong with this city? a new fashion? pfft. He took the map and folded it again - “I hope you’ll be all right sir” - he smiled to Flos and them bowed to the both - “thank you again, I hope I’ll be able to repay you when we meet” - he said with a smile making few steps back, then turning around and fading in the crowd almost immediately.... together with Epicuro’s purse
Epikuro: My name is Edelweiss. And I hope you have usefulness for a lot of oil and wax, sir, because that’s the only thing I carry in there *points at her wallet that’s going away*
<Mrakobulka>= 7 = she just figured out she was robbed without even checking he pockets? )
Flos: “Bye, sir! Good luck with finding what you need!” He waves at him with a relieved grin. He wasn’t the owner of the stand after all.
<Awa303>she’s an assassin with low strength, she need to know what she carries and what everything weighs, so she notices when something id different/missing. ))

<Mrakobulka>>> uuummm... don’t want to be a jerk but don’t you think it’s a bit... unrealistic. I mean the purse doesn’t weight that much to notice it missing so easily. and it’s not like I’m against her founding out she was robbed but... she could at least check her pockets before, you know = 7 =;;; ))
<Awa303>she has years of practice, but if you want, sure. Let’s say say she stuck a hand in her pocket to search something and noticed it’s missing. =u= ))

<Awa303>just notice her only pocket is on her vest, just in front of her chest. //D )) so I suppose she would notice if a guy slips his hand there))
<Mrakobulka>, Alsiher had years of practice as well and he used that map to distract them as well. you know the main thing while robbing someone is to make people be concentrated on something else. you know good thieves can steal a watches from your wrist and you’ll know that only when you’ll decided to check the time ))
Coffee-sama has joined
Flos: puts his hands back under the box. “Sooo shall we pick up where we left off?”
Epikuro: Whew... those thieves nowadays, so daring... =__= *pats her now empty pocket before picking the box up too* Yeah, I had almost forgot it.
<Awa303>Alisher is a bad boy, he stole her excuse for black blood. ))
Flos: “Umm, please tell me if I’m going in the right direction.” (starts moving carefully)
Epikuro: Turn to the right now. Your right (not mine).
Flos: “Okay then.” He turns to the right, hoping he doesn’t crash into any more objects.
Epikuro: *is keeping the box lower so she can look the path better*
Flos: Sometime later “Are we getting closer?”
Epikuro: Yes, just behind you.

Flos: “Okay. Gee, I’d hate to see these poor things gone. But I guess I can’t do anything about it.” He sighed at the thought of trashing such things.
Epikuro: As I said, if you find something you like in the box you can keep it. You helped to bring it here after all.
Flos: “I don’t think I can afford to. I’m sure I’d look silly with a toy I woulda outgrown.” (laugh)
<Sickly-Sweet-Poison>Daniel was actually up during the day. It was almost like a miracle, honestly. Well, more than that it was a miracle he’d slept the night before. It was only with the aid of Armand’s herbs, but sleep was sleep, after all. He stopped at one of the vendors and purchased some fresh pastries, offering a practiced smile to the elderly woman before walking off. He was holding the small bag to his chest, munching on one as he walked through the streets. He had to get a new outfit, new strings for his harp, and polish. As well as running a few other errands. “Did I bring enough money?” he mused to himself before taking another small bite out of his snack.
Coffee-sama Sarah: Was walking down on the streets, still playing with her harmonic. She was stubborn about playing it as she did years ago, when she caught two boys (assuming they’re both boys) carrying boxes. Taking a closer look, she discovered that in the box were toys and different pieces, and a lovely doll, that caught her attention. She walked slowly to where they both were, lurking near to them.
Epikuro: Don’t say that, toys can give a warm feeling to any place. looks around for somewhere to leave the stuff
Flos: “Really? I wouldn’t exactly know since I’ve never played with one before. A-and I’m not sure how to anyway.” He started to feel a bit embarrassed with this talk and glanced away.
Alisher He just continued walking from the place, now very far away from there. Nah, that purse was a trash, which means he just wasted his time. He was going to turn at the corner and head to the slims when he noticed a familiar face in the crowd. Speaking of feminine guys. He chuckled slightly coming closer to the boy, catching his last phrase - “if you don’t have enough, I can always lend you some, Daniel” - he said blocking his way with a smirk on his face

** Sickly-Sweet-Poison has been made a member of Entertainers by IdioticRebelion *
Epikuro: Not sure how to play? It’s not like there’s instructions for that or anything, you just need to use your imagination. *chuckled, placing the box on an empty space on the ground and looking at the direction Flos was glancing at*
Daniel paused mid step, staring at Alisher’s chest before raising his eyes. He stared with a blank expression, one of his pastries’ in his mouth. “And what would I owe you in return for that?” he inquired after a moment. He didn’t make a move to step away, only offering a smile to the other.
Sarah: Slowly take her way near to both men, not taking her eyes away from the boxes. That little doll really captured her attention. “H-hey yo, what’re you gonna do with all those toys?” She said, trying to sound indifferent, but still not taking attention to any of them.
Epikuro: Sell them to the scrap collectors. They’re defective so can’t be sold at the shop.
Flos: felt a little out of place, since he never grew up with toys before in his life. Only trees to climb on, the farm animals, and some very good friends of his. And of course, his violin. He quickly tried to change the subject. “W-well! I’m glad I was helpful after all!” He looked to see a woman approaching, and she looked very familiar. Flos held his chin and tried to recall why.
Sarah: “To the scraps collectors! Are you crazy!?” She took the doll on her hands and showed it to him “I don’t see why this one... Must go to... Omg, you’re handsome....” The last part was whispered, to be only heard by the most avid ears, when she saw to Epi, eyes wide opened.
Alisher: He shrugged, giving a fake innocent expression to the boy - “money?” - he said in a bit sarcastic manner, then giving a sly look down to Daniel - “or services, it’s up to you” he said grinning slightly “I wouldn’t mind having both” he chuckled slightly bringing his hand p to the boy’s chin “though guess this time I could give it as a present. I’m one of you patrons after all” he said in a sarcastic manner
Epikuro: *didn’t hear the last part* Well, you can have that one if you must. *it’s not like the scrap collectors would pay high for anything anyway*
Flos: snapped his fingers as he came to realization. “Oh! M-miss, do I know you?”
Daniel: ”You get to pick. If you pay me, I am yours for a time,” he replied softly, licking his own lips. “I don’t get gifts often. As stated, the choice is yours,” he replied with a smile, He pulled a pastry out of his bag and reached up, pushing it into the thief’s mouth. “I need to get moving or I won’t get new strings for my harp,” he told Alisher, moving to walk around him with a little grin.
Sarah: She curled her arms around the doll, but even then not taking her eyes away from Epi. Then was kicked out of her thoughts by the voice of the other man “H-.huh huawha-?” <//< Sarah quickly turned to see Flos, still stunned, so took her a second to remember. “O-Oh! The
musician! What was your Name? ...Flaas? ...Flaus?” She pondered, rubbing her chin.
** Vladen has been made a member of Assassins by Serenade-Clue *
Flos: “Yeah--yeah, I remember you! You bumped into me and asked if I could play a song! Yeah! Sorry I rushed off so soon, I-I couldn’t keep up with the crowd.” Lies. He couldn’t keep up with the group of girls who were swarming him that time, so he had gathered up his belongings quickly and left.
Epikuro: Oh, I see so you’re a street musician. I was wondering what kind of music you played. =)
Alisher He ate the pastry form the boy’s hands and gave Daniel that foxy grin of his - “well then it’s my treat today” - he chuckled stepping to the side, letting Daniel to walk first “oh, so you’re going to the music store?” he said lively “I haven’t been in there for ages” with pleased expression as if he remembered something nice
Sarah: “Oh~ For a moment I thought that Cait and I scared you, sweetie.” She said innocently teasing him “Y-you must hear him play the fiddle! It’s... it’s great!” *staaaaaaring at Epi.
Flos: smiled at the long-haired boy. “I play the violin. B-but I’m not a professional master at it or anything!” He waves his hands in front of him. “Though I was hoping that I’d find a job here so I can always play . . .”
Epikuro: I would like to hear a song, if you don’t mind playing. *to Flos, then turns back to Sarah when noticed she’s staring at her* Erh... are you feeling well? Ô_Õ’a
Flos: “Erm, well, it’s back at the inn. If you want, I can go get it now . . .” Which reminds him. His week at the inn was almost up. He’d have to pay again in order to remain at his stay, which meant he’ll need to find a job pret-ty soon.
Daniel spared Alisher only a slight glance as he continued to walk. He moved through the crowd, finishing off the last pastry. He paused to throw the bag away in the trash before continuing the walk to the shop. He greeted the man behind the counter with a friendly smile. They exchanged a small conversation, Daniel’s face actually showing some true sincere expression before picking out his strings. He paid for them and put the package in his pocket. He considered doing his other errands right away but shook his head. Instead he looked to Alisher. “I was going to go get my harp and play in the square for a while,” he told the thief. Asking for company without even saying the words.
Sarah: “Aaaaaah... is that you.... have a dirt on your face! L-lemme clean it” And so she cleaned an imaginary spot on Epi’s face, giving a nervous chuckle and turning away, to put her attention back to Flos. “It’d be great if you teach me to play umm...? She said, expecting him to say his name.
Epikuro: Ô_Õ *lets Sarah clean the imaginary dirt then also turns her attention to Flos* If it’s not trouble I could just tag along. Have some spare time today. =)
Flos: “Heheh, well if you say so. Um, did I ever get . . . either of your names?” He starts walking back to the streets, trying to remember where the inn was.
Epikuro: Edelweiss Fjäril, just Edel is fine. Hm, I don’t think I know your name either...
Sarah: “The name’s Sarah, and... is the only way to call me, unless you find a nickname” Chuckled and walked along with them
<RemixedMagic>Flos: “Sarah and Edel . . . got it!” (He’d be heading in the direction of Daniel and Alisher.)
<Mrakobulka> Alisher He followed the other to the music store and as Daniel was busy he was just walking around inside of it, pausing slightly at the piano, ah, he hasn’t played it for ages and could bring one home since he preferred to stay quiet at home and give his neighbors an impression there’s ghost living next to them. He strokes gently with his fingers over the keys before turning to the boy as he called for him - “aaah, I would love to hear you playing” - he said with a sly grin on his face walking closed to the boy - “how much did it cost?” - he said pointing at the strings, taking out his purse
unless you find a nickname” Chuckled and walked along
Flos: “Sarah and Edel . . . got it!” (He’d be heading in the direction of Daniel and Alisher.)

Epikuro: And your name, Mr. Musician? What is it? =,=’a *to Flos*
”Flos! Sorry, hahaha.” He was not paying attention to where he was going.
Epikuro: ‘Flos’? *has a fun smile on her face now* Funny, we both have flower names.
Daniel walked out of the store and paused. “Oh, well it’s a full replacement of my older strings,” he mumbled, giving Alisher the price as he made his way back to the guild he called home. It only took him a moment to get in, get his harp and get out. Then he backtracked to the square. “I haven’t seen you around much. Have you been busy or just have other entertainment?” he asked with a sly smile. Daniel sat down at the edge of the fountain in the square, going about the delicate work of replacing the more worn out strings for now.
Alisher He took out the amount of money that was given and put them into the boy’s hand, without even saying a word, just giving a playful smile to him. He waited for Daniel to return back from the guild building and then chuckled at his words - “ah, work, work” - he sighed - “and yes, indeed I’ve found a pretty amusing entertainment... out of your guild” - he chuckled - “though I’m done with it now, so you can stop being jealous, my boy” - he said jokingly
JackTheXIV has joined
”I was just about to die of jealousy,” Daniel said in a monotone voice. He adjusted the strings one last time before running his fingers over them lightly. “Who was so entertaining? Or should I ask? Probably not,” he mumbled, beginning to play on his harp as he laid his cheek against the cold metal.
Alisher He laughed slightly, sitting next to the boy, leaning his hands hack, enjoying the rare in this city sun - “ah, no need to be so cranky Daniel, you know I was just joking” - he said with a chuckle - “only an idiot will expect jealousy from a dollymop, am I right?” - he said giving a sarcastic look to the boy, somehow he enjoyed being an arse to him, trying to figure out how much can it take to piss the boy off and which topic he should touch to make it so - “oh, but may be you’re still jealous?” - he said raising his eyebrow at Daniel’s words - “it was a coworker if you’re interested so much” - he said slyly - “she was underestimating me, and I gave her a couple of lessons” - he shrugged
Epikuro: *already walking through the square and thinks they’re wandering for much time already; was about to ask Flos if he really knew where he was going but spotted another familiar person and the phrase that she spoke was different* You! The man who stole my purse!
Flos: “Huh?” He turns and spots two people from afar. One of them had a large object containing strings and he became quickly entranced by it. He never saw that instrument before.
Daniel continued playing, his fingers ghosting over the strings. He looked over at Alisher and gave the man his own smirk. “Perhaps I am jealous. You are very handsome, and rather gentle to me in comparison to many,” he mused softly. “Underestimating you?” he gasped in mock surprise. “How could she dare,” he added before returning his full attention to the harp, playing a melody to half drown out the other.
Flos: Drawn to the other’s playing, he quickly hopped over and remained a good distance away to enjoy the instrument. It slightly made him feel that he should play his fiddle too.
Alisher He laughed slightly again - “oh well, I’m really pleased to be called handsome, thank you Daniel” - he said grinning wider - “oh, and please, don’t give me that sarcasm of yours” - he said tilting his head a bit - “or I’ll stop being gentle” - the thief cooed - “you know I don’t like it when people are trying to male fun of me, I bet no one does”- he said giving a dark grin to the boy before he heard someone calling to him and turned his head to see that feminine guys he just robbed. pffft, yelling as if there was something worthy in there he just threw away the purse the moment he got to know there was nothing in there. He raised his eyebrow giving a confused look - “excuse me?”
Epikuro: *approaches Alisher without hesitation* If you still have my purse I’d like to have it back. I need that oil to work.
Daniel Because his eyes were half closed and he’d stopped paying complete attention, when Epikuro approached so suddenly his fingers tensed on the strings and he jerked back, nearly losing his balance and falling back into the fountain. He looked up at the androgynous person with a faintly irritated expression before closing his eye to begin playing again, this time the sound being distinctly louder, almost annoyed. “And with you, trouble follows,” he mumbled to Alisher.
Flos: winced at the abrupt pause of the instrument. A worried look crossed his face when he noticed there seemed to be trouble among the three.
Alisher He gave an amused look to epikuro, raising his eyebrow even more - “do I have to take that as you’re accusing me in staling something from you?” - he said with pride in his voice, standing up to be taller than her - “you know it’s a very serious accusation, my friend, I’m asking for your explanation” - he said giving her down an unimpressed look before chuckling slightly and turning to Daniel - “I don’t remember you being in trouble because of me” - he said grinning and turning back to the girl/boy - “though I’m sure, it’s just a mere misunderstanding” - he said coldly to Epikuro.
Epikuro: There are not that many people who stick their hands down my pocket and take my purse without my
consent, good sir, and you did it most likely when asked for help with that map. *turns to Daniel when noticed the annoyed stare* Sorry for disturbing your play, I’ll repay you for it. *turns back to Alisher* If you don’t have it anymore I’ll simply remember your face and charge for it another time. U_Ú annoyed stare* Sorry for disturbing your play, I’ll repay you for it. *turns back to Alisher* If you don’t have it anymore I’ll simply remember your face and charge for it another time.
Daniel’s eye twitched a bit but he didn’t respond. He was used to rude people or even the daily fights, accusations, and debates. He simply kept to himself. He looked up toward Flos and tilted his head, smiling a little. “May I help you?” he asked in a tone loud enough to be heard over the other two.
Flos: moved his attention away from the other two and focused on the player, who looked like a small child. “H-huh? Oh, I’m sorry. I-I thought you---you played really nice. I enjoyed it a lot. Um, please excuse my . . . friend’s intrusion.” He pulled on his drawstring to take out a few coins and hand it over. “What do ya call this? I’ve never seen it before.”
Shii-n has joined
Alisher “most likely?” - he chuckled - “so you’re saying I’m the one who stole your purse just because I was asking you a way?” - he said in a sarcastic manner - “my friend, you need to have something more than that to accuse people in such a crime” - he said coldly - “and now you dare say you’ll remember my face? oh, maybe you’ll even start spreading rumors?” - he chuckled - “oh you’re quite brave to ruin someone’s reputation making your conclusions just out of a mere guessing” - he hissed - “if you have no prove better than that, don’t you dare call people thieves, young man” He turned to Daniel “I’m sorry my boy, I’ll keep you a company some other day, now I’m just not in the mood to enjoy your play” he bowed slightly to the boy and then left the scene, completely ignoring Epikuro.
Daniel watched Alisher go before looking to Flos. “This? It’s a harp,” he explained with a smile, more sincere. He was far more relaxed to talk about music than anything else. He accepted the pay with a small nod. “Thank you. And I am glad you enjoyed my playing.” Daniel put the coins in his pocket before setting his fingers, playing a faster melody, his eyes watching the strings vibrate as he plucked them.
Epikuro: *seats nearby the fountain, not too near Daniel for not interrupting him again and starts scribbling something in a small piece of paper*
JackTheXIV Bloodletter After a day of teaching Children Lex climbed to the top of the school finally under his cloak of disguise, His inner Chest plate had become a burden, He removed it and placed it hidden on the rooftop of the school house, he turned his coat inside out, and raised his mask. He turned and overlooked the City. After doing a few stretches he took off running and jumping off of the Building, Landing in a tree, circling around it and jumping to the ground, forward somersaulting so as not to injure himself in the fall, as he rolled back to his feet he jumped onto the nearest drainage pipe and crawled up this building. he hoisted himself over the ledge and rolled to his feet. He stood up and laughed to himself, He was so Much faster without his Chest plate. But he was also far more vulnerable; that hunk of Iron had saved him more than once in his life.
Flos: ”A harp . . . it’s beautiful,” he mused. “I bet you can
make a variety of compositions with all those strings. How long have you played this for?”

Daniel looked down at his harp and smiled. It wasn’t as grand as a full sized harp since it was a scaled down version to be portable. “It has a unique flow to it but it’s not as hard as some other instruments. I’ve been playing since I was young. My mother loved music,” he explained before drifting off, reminding himself to now dwell in the past.
Sarah: Appearing out of nowhere, glancing over Epi’s shoulder. *Blinked when Epi turned to see her* “I-uh... I was just curious what were you writing but I---” Moving where she was, she fell to the water, splashing all around. “Geeze”
Flos: ”Amazing . . .” sat down next to the boy. “See, I’m a musician too, but I play the violin! I’ve been doing it since I was, hold on--” [He counts off his fingers.] “--I think twelve years old? Eleven? Maybe ten? Huh, the age escaped me. Well, I started around there anyhow, and my father was the one who taught me. I think he does better than I do, but I really enjoy playing violin a lot.”
Epikuro: *got soaked, but is is kinda worried about Sarah’s mental state too* Are you ok? Ô,Õ
Rufus-Vulpe Aila: looking over her shopping list, Aila quickly memorized the items she needed for the... what, 4th time now? Really, there wasn’t that many item on her list that she actually needed, most of it was just candy for the kids when they dropped by later, but there were a few needed engine parts the female needed, and some fuel too for her latest job. So, the grumpy mechanic once again, like so many other days, found herself walking through the town district.
Bloodletter he waltzed across the rooftop dancing with an imaginary partner. humming the tune, he had stuck in his head. He no longer had his revolver, He juggled his Knife around between hands, and as he stopped humming he released his imaginary partner off the end of the building. he stared down at the town district below him.
Sarah: “O-of course!” In a quick movement she was on her feet all soaked but laughed to show indifference. “I just happen to heard that the water on this fountain is so fresh, perfect to this weather, so I wanted to prove it....” lame excuse
Epikuro: *raises an eyebrow* ...... *awkward moment of silence* .....Pffffff!!! *laughing fit*
Sarah: “...” Awkward moment, her face flushed when Epi started to laugh and shrugged, laughing along with her.
Aila: “oil...oil.... where can I get lamp oil from” the female murmured, glancing up from her sheet of paper and looking around with only mild interest. Recently, it seemed as if her days had been taking a rather boring routine. Just as she thought this however, a think lanky man ran past her, shoving into her, before running off. “hey watch it!” the mechanic snarled, only her eyes widened as she quickly checked for her purse. Dammit, well, routine broken. And with that, she took off after the purse thief. “oi! Get back here you bastard!”
Ayuuria Freestyle was making his way back to the toy shop as he rode his way down the streets on his skate cycle. He had been goofing off an earlier with just hanging out with in random parts of town that he lost track of time* Oh man... *he groaned a little but as he came close the fountain, he noticed a few familiar figures* groaned but closer to the fountain, he noticed familiar figures
Bloodletter Blood raised an eyebrow his empty hand stretched out. He saw the skinny man running away from her, He made mental note of it and watched for her reaction.
Epikuro: You’re a funny girl, haha... *finally stops laughing* Thanks, I was needing some laugh to take the stress away. =3
Aila: wouldn’t lie, dexterity was not her strong point, but she seemed to be keeping up okay with the thief, that was, until he started ducking into the alleyways. Cursing, the mechanic followed after, only to lose him a few turns later. “drat IT” she hissed, turning sharply and kicking a close by wall. All of her drat money was in that purse, and that meant she couldn’t finish her job until she got hold of that spare part.
Sarah: Her face still flushed, she stood there for some more time “...Am I a funny girl?” Pouted and sat down on the edge of the fountain, pressing her hair to get rid of the water there. “Okay, glad it helps you somehow ha!”
Epikuro: Hm, that was meant as praise. Sorry if I upset you.
Freestyle rides to the fountain to see Epi and Sarah* Aw man; I wonder if Epi is going to yell at me for being late? he asked himself rubbing the back of his head “Yo” he calls out
Bloodletter Leaping from building to building he watched the man duck behind a crate. She lost him, But Bloodletter was right on top above, staring down knife in hand. the man laughing as he started to search the purse. Blood Dropped onto him, he drove his knife through the thief, holding his hand over his mouth, after the man no longer struggled Blood disposed of his body in the Crate. He carried the purse back up to the Rooftop.
Epikuro: Hello, Free. =) *waves to him*
Sarah: “Nono! Not at all is just that I...” Looked aside “Doesn’t matter “ Sarah tilted her head hearing a familiar voice “Hey Free!” Waved “Long time no see, man!”
Aila: leaning her head back and slumping against the wall, Aila tried to calculate what she had lost. Over 100 gear coins, a few mechanical devices.... what else? Oh yeah! That stupid flyer for this valentine’s event and a note from the kids telling the next meeting time for football and snacks. Running her fingers through her hair, the female sighed. That was her living money for this week, which meant she would have to dip into her savings. Just another setback, these things happen. With that thought, she dragged herself back out onto the main street, where the grumpy mechanic gained a few weird looks. Not like she cared.
Flos: looked up to see someone he didn’t know coming in.] “Um, hi there!” He waved.
Freestyle: “Hey Ep- I mean Edel” he wasn’t used to calling fellow guild members by their real name “I thought you would be back at the shop” he turns to Sarah “Long time no see as well” he smiled
Bloodletter “I don’t normally do good deeds,” He spoke to Aila Holding her purse in one hand “Especially ones that require effort” Blood stepped out of the shadow. “But I think You’re a Person who could do Without The stress” He handed the Purse out to the Mechanic.

Sarah: “Oh wait... you both work together!?” she pointed to both Epi and Free “How small is Lodan, don’t you think!” Smiled and turned to see Flos “We want to hear you play!”
Flos: “O-oh. Sorry, I got caught up with things! Wait here, you don’t hafta come with me.” He blushes when he heard the girl’s encouragement and excused himself to rush off.
Aila: “who the heck are you?” the female stated bluntly, pulling her fists up to show she was ready to fight should the mechanic need to. Honestly, she was being rather rude, but when some random person pops up with your wallet dressed strangely, you do tend to be weary.
Bloodletter “Put your hands down,” he surveyed the street making sure no one was watching “You’re making yourself look silly” he motioned his arm holding the purse “Please, this is heavy... What have you got in there? a Boiler engine?”
Aila: frowning, and obviously still weary, the mechanic dropped her stance and quickly but carefully snatched her purse back. “something like that” she grumbled, opening it and flicking through the contents to make sure nothing was missing. After she was done, Aila looked back up to the mysterious figure in front of her. “what became of the thief?”
Bloodletter “I roughed him up a bit, and sent him on his merry way” He said almost Patronizingly.
Aila: scowling, she didn’t like this guy’s tone. “who are you?” she questioned once again, intent on getting an answer. It wasn’t hard for someone as intelligent as her to figure out this guy murdered the thief, and although she didn’t agree with taking life pointlessly, she didn’t quite have the guts to say so to the man’s face. “a name. I meant a name” she stated dryly, tilting her head to the side and narrowing her eyes. It’s easier to look up info on a person if you have their name after all.
Bloodletter He laughed “My Name Is Bloodletter, But You can call me Blood It’s short for Bloodletter” He laughed at his speech “And You? lovely Ai- I mean, what is your name?”
Aila: her attention quickly snapped towards the ‘bloodletter’ character with alarm and intelligence. he was about to say my name she quickly noted, her eyes scanning the male’s visible features. Had she met him before? It was hard to tell, Aila never had been good with faces, especially those she deemed unimportant. “Aila, just Aila, but I have a feeling you already knew that.” she replied, not bothering to keep the tone of accusation out of her voice.
Bloodletter “What can I say? I take interest in those that seem uninteresting...” He started to walk around her “Especially Anderswelters...” He prepared himself for her to strike.
Aila: “Anderswelders? You’re accusing me of being one of those filthy demons” she snarled, narrowing her eyes. Nothing about her expression revealed that she was lying, she just looked disgusted. “I’d get my facts straight before you make such rash accusations.” the female all but growled.
Bloodletter He stared her in the eyes, “It’s sad when a Bird can’t fly because It’s convinced itself it’s Incapable of it” Bloodletter stepped away from her. “Maybe I’m just making ‘rash accusations’ and maybe you’re as clueless as You look,” he turned to leave.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin

First thing that popped into my head reading this one.... "Witness Protection Program" Wolf: She was silent in her movements, just like any assassin should have been. It wasn't rare for her to be working with others; not that she liked it, but she did as told. From the semi-tall building she began to walk around, her dull eyes scanned the area. She was searching for their target. Epi and she were sent out to kill a man. A very dangerous one that had been harassing the local women in the area. Typical male, to say the least. Still, it didn't matter if it was male, female, or any type of Andersweltler. Wolf would get the job done. And considering she had help, it would be that much easier. Lifting her eyes across the street, a few yards down, she looked to Epikuro as if signaling silently for any information. Wolf wanted to know if the doll had seen any signs of the man they were sent to kill. Sadly, all they were given was a general description. So this was all up to the two of them. The both of them had to keep their eyes peeled and do this right. Else there would probably be a lot of grief later on.
Epikuro: back down on the street, she stopped walking in front of a cafe vitrin to fix the skirt of her steampunk dress: a signal back to Wolf. Probable target spotted inside the building. While doing that, she told in her mind how ironic it was that Freestyle wanted so much to see her in a dress but just when they had a mission that required disguise he couldn't come along. She discreetly checked all utensils; jack-knife and gun hidden under skirt, weak poison on left sleeve, and switchblade on the cleavage of her dress. Everything in place, and nothing in sight. Epikuro straightened up again and entered the cafe.
Sienna Had found her glass, and some other things. But she'd forgotten to grab some metal conduction rods. They weren't as easy to find, and usually in bad shape. She'd scouring the area for the last couple days and had found an area that had been laden with out of date, or broken kitchen supplies. It was perfect! She'd surely find what she needed, or something she could tweak to get what she wanted. he only issue was that it was in the basement of a building that was condemned and the only inside was through the roof. She'd spotted the veritable treasure trove through a hole, near the ground, but had found no other avenues to it. So at the moment she was moving about precariously on the shingles, looking for a way in from above. Her precarious balance was shaken a bit when she slipped up slightly, sending some of the shingles falling to the ground above. “Crap” She muttered looking for a better foothold. The flamingo had become her constant companion and was perched on her shoulder watching the area.

Wolf: Her gaze drifted from the street further down, back to Epi. Seeing the tugging of her skirt made sense. She tilted her chin down and adjusted her jacket which covered most of her frame. She was tiny to begin with, but the jacket provided warmth and.. well, it hid her weapons. She had no other way to hide them really.. Wolf made her way across the street, never once pulling the attention of any of the passer-bys. She placed her hand against the door off the café, swinging it open. The stench of different brew and coffees made her want to turn around and go back outside, but a job needed to be done, and she was going to play the part. She walked casually up towards the main counter and the seemingly busy owner of the shop and nodded towards him. He looked her way, and with that, she finally spoke. "Restroom," Was all she said. A woman of very few words, she was. The owner motioned towards the back of the café. She nodded once more as a thank you and turned to head that way, but not without looking for Epikuro first. And when she did, she lowered her chin again as a signal that all was going according to plan. Wolf would be waiting in the women's restroom for Epi to draw the perverted man inside, and then she'd jump him while he was distracted. It was only a matter of time now, and a horrid waiting game. Wolf walked into the restrooms and picked a stall, making sure they were all empty.
Epikuro: she looked back to Wolf when the work fellow entered the cafe and picked up her chin signal, then turned back to the bartender and the other customers. The suspect of being target was sitting at the balcony, perfect. She walked to there and took a seat next to him, turning to the owner and asking for a minted mocha coffee, crossing her legs as she sat down (the skirt wasn't especially short, it needed to hide her weapons after all, but wasn't long either and offered a good view of the 'merchandize').
Inside the café a man in his late 30’s idled around in a seat at the bar. He brushed some of his dark hair out of his face. It was getting longer then he was comfortable with. He glanced around the shop as he usually did, scanning the area for any cute, nice-looking ladies. And behold, there was one! He eyed her openly and licked his lips as she moved over in his direction. He leaned towards her and grinned suggestively. “Hey there cutie.” He crooned his voice strangely smooth for his ragged appearance. “How are you this evening?” He asked his intentions barely veiled by his attempt at etiquette. He’d barely noticed Wolf come in as he was focused on Epi. Outside Sienna Had not found a way inside. Disgruntled she wanted to get down but… the way she’d come up had been destroyed, She glanced over to the café roof and wondered if she could jump to it. The roof looked unstable at best. But she had to try something. She backed up a bit and ran, jumping over and barely cleared the distance and started to walk over to the stairs, the roof creaking as she moved.
Epikuro: she turned to look at the man as he spoke to her, "I'm fine." a fake but very convincing smile on her lips as she sipped her coffee in a quite suggestive way. Target confirmed. It wasn't needed much more for being sure of that. "And what about you, sir? Can I be of some help?"
The man smiled back with a wolfish grin. "Oh well... I have a bit of a sweet tooth, you know how those are I'm sure, looking so sweet yourself." He replied as his eyes drifted down and around as he checked her out chuckling a little as he did so.. Sienna Creeped across the roof and down the fire escape only to be met with a dead end. The rest of the stairs were gone... great. She peeked in a window the stairs passed and found a bathroom. Not thinking much of it, she slipped in through the window and crept her way into a nearby stall as quietly as she could manage. She kinda had to go anyway. The pink bird stayed outside the window and waited patiently.
Wolf: She adjusted her eyes to focus on the pocket watch as she pulled it out of her jacket pocket. Time was ticking. And Epi had yet to bring the man into the restroom. She let out a gentle, casual sigh and waited in her stall. I should have done this myself. She spoke mentally as if it would make a different. Wolf liked clean kills. Clean, simple, and quick. She didn't like playing any type of character to get the job done; though did when necessary. If it were up to her, she'd stalk the man until he was alone and then just slit his throat. But it wasn't up to her. And she was specifically put on this job with Epikuro. While in thought, Wolf heard a subtle rustling a few stalls down. She instantly stood up straight and turned, listening while confined in her little square. Wolf stayed completely silent, trying to make out if it was Epi or not. Though she didn't know they had another visitor.

Epikuro: "Oh my, such a thing so say out loud." She giggled, again a false one but she was good at those fake expressions; those were part of the occupational hazard. While this, her inner self was making a disgusted face and saying 'gross! get away from me', but that wouldn't be said out loud neither with words nor with her face. Let the wretched man to repent after being dead. "Isn't this the kind of talk one should have in private?" She said in a low tone, almost a whisper, slowly standing up from her seat.

a look of surprise flitted across his features and he smiled eagerly at her as she stood up. He wrapped an arm around her waist, his hand sliding down dangerously low as he started to lead her out. “You are one hot little fire cracker.” He sighed. “My place isn’t too far from here… unless of course. You can’t wait that long.” He hinted licking his lips again in anticipation as his other hand toyed with her hair. Sienna Was a bit disgruntled at the state of the restroom. She’d used the bathroom in better bushes. This was ridiculous, but she really had to go! She watched over to a slightly cleaner one before finally settling on that one. She sat down and wriggled her nose in displeasure. She hoped the bird didn’t attempt to follow her into the stall like it had the last time. The pink bird was thinking about coming in, but a noise coming from another stall drew his attention and he stared in that direction, waiting.
Wolf: She didn't dare make any type of noise. It must have just been a random passer-by, by the sounds of it. Wolf squinted her eyes slightly and listened still. Of course when she heard the stall door close and the other things to follow, she knew it wasn't Epi. Wolf breathed slow and put her guard back down slightly. Only just. She didn't want to miss the opportunity. But now they had to deal with another in the restrooms. If this woman didn't get out soon, there was. Well, no. Wolf would still find a way to end the man's life. It was a job after all. A job that would get done. She opened her jacket slightly and placed a hand on her poison tipped dagger. It wasn't very potent, but it would get dung done. And it was still a waiting game, from the sounds of it. She stood solemn still, waiting for Epi to bring the man into the restroom.
Epikuro: "Now now, why wait more? I'm sure this place's facilities will do well enough..." She said in an almost sing-songy voice as she walked towards the restroom. One step and half second inside, and a quick blow on the back of the target's neck; she made sure said target was definitely unconscious and locked the entry's door behind her. That was enough to analyze the place; Wolf was there that's for sure, but another person too as she could see the feet from one of the toilet cabins. Good thing she brought her poison along, even in case that person got in the way it would be enough to make someone sleep for a couple hours.
he man had been looking forward to his encounter with the woman. Only once the pain had come did he realize he’d made a mistake. But it was too late. After Epi had hit him he’d made a loud grunt of pain and surprise before keeling over. Amazingly enough he was actually used to being hit and even though he was unconscious, he wasn’t silent and groaned in his mindless state. Sienna Heard someone else come in, two people? A whack followed by a grunt and some pained mumbling confused her. Crap! Whatever that was had not sounded good! She scrambled off the toilet and stepped up on it to peer over the stall, hoping her dark complexion made her a little less visible. She was surprised to see what looked like a woman hovering over an unconscious body. Outside the flamingo seen the whole thing and was not happy his nest was in potential danger.
Wolf: Again her eyes moved to her pocket watch. But sure enough she heard the main door open and straightened her back. She pressed her hand to the bathroom stall and waited. waited for that... Yep, there it was. Wolf quickly moved out of her hiding place by swinging the door open. She didn't smile, nor give Epi a sense of gratitude. The job was still in motion; the man wasn't dead like he should have been. Granted, it was a good plan to knock him out. But he wasn't unconscious. No matter. Wolf wasn't worried about causing pain to anyone. He was going to die anyway. Her dull orbs lifted, peering at Epikuro before they fell back to the man as she pulled out her dagger. She could sense another's eyes on them, and knew it would be trouble, but didn't bother with the other right now. There was something to be done.. Wolf lifted her foot and placed her heel against the man's shoulder, nudging him and hoisting him to roll to his back. As he did, she stared down at him. It didn't make a difference if he saw their faces or not.. And just like Wolf, with that blank expression, she leaned down and placed her palm against the man's forehead, tilting his chin up. Her dagger came swiftly and clean to his skin. Yes, there was blood, but Wolf had done this so many times already that she knew which way to cut and which way not to cut to prevent crimson from squirting all over the place. Her dagger left a slight green stick behind as it slipped through the man's throat like butter. A backup in case he didn't die completely from the gash. Though the way he start gurgling proved otherwise. Wolf pulled out a cloth and stood back up, wiping her blade clean. She glanced to Epi briefly, then dragged her eyes towards the other staring at them. Wolf had no words, she just waited to see what reaction Sienna would create. Or if the woman would stick around at all. Wolf knew right now that Epi and she needed to leave before another came in the restroom. And given it were a place of interest for women needing to relive themselves, it was highly likely that someone would come in soon.
Epikuro: She didn't like killing witnesses. A person being in the wrong place at the wrong time wasn't a crime, and said witness being Sienna made killing her a big no in her book. But they couldn't simply let her be, and needed to get out of there soon. Why did Wolf make it so messy anyway? She should have done the job alone. It was what she was most used to anyway, but now it couldn't be helped. Luckily she was wearing gloves, clean from any blood, and her disguise was good enough so she didn't think Sienna would be able to recognize her. Acting fast as to not leave time for the black woman to scream, she darted forward already taking out the poison from her clothes. A simple injection would do the work. And then she slid Sienna out the window as gently as she could, avoiding the flamingo's beak at any costs. If one saw Sienna sleeping leaning on a wall of a random building it wouldn't be weird considering her lifestyle, and it would be better for her to just think of that as a bad dream. Now it was time to get out that restroom.
Sienna Looked on in shock as one of the women killed the man. What was going on here?! She suddenly feared for her life and was going to make a mad dash for the window when one of them ran up and grabbed her. She felt something stick her and she tried her best to fight off the attack but in moments she was drowsy. Was she going to die for seeing this? It certainly felt like it. A moment later she was dumped outside the window, with the Flamingo flitting about in front of her wildly and that was the last thing she seen before everything went black.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff.

FREE, Freestyle, the most clueless guy Lodan ever had a chance to see when the matter was girls. "This is pretty awkward..." from Drunk Enough To....
LMAO that is hilarious poor Sarah, poor Frees
