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

Leo relaxed some as she explained further. "Ok. That's better." Leo said as he stood back up and walked back over to one of the walls to see what was on it.
Emelo meanwhile sat there with his mouth somewhat open in aww, surprised that his brother didn't flip, "Wow... Good explanation..." He said as he turned back to look at the girl. "I get what you meant before but Leo doesn't exactly like it when people say we are the same person." Emelo said as he rubbed the back of his head some, "I mean at times we can act the exact same but that's just to amuse ourselves... Other than that I would say that if we didn't look like one another I don't think anyone would ever think we were brothers." Emelo said as he looked over to his brother, who didn't seem to be listening and or caring.
Leo just continued to stand there and quietly, listening in but not saying anything.

Ratna let out a relived sigh finally managing to get her point across " well its understandable why twins to be different , sure it would be funny if you could finish your words or say thing synchronized all the time but that would grow old fast. i remembered a story of these 2 twins who robbed a town blind but one was a bit more greedy then the other since the reason they they robbed was to feed there brothers and sister but stuff got out of hand and the kind one had to off her own twin , it was a sad story so much I had to met the remaining twin on my travels" Ratna said as she crossed her legs while sitting the sofa "we got along really well and hopefully the man i left her with after that night , hopefully they are happy together"
Ratna then reached behind the sofa and pulled out her Grimor and opened it on a page with hand drawn pictures of twins she had met through her life . "twins have always interested me, something magical how people are born at the same time when the danager of it higher then normal child birth but it makes it easy to dress them the same and all the cute things and all the funny things you can do with twins." she smiled as she show the twins from all her travel "i hope the day when i desired to have children i wish i could have twins~"

The two looked at one another as the girl said she wanted twins of her own. As the two turned back to look at the girl they couldn't help but smile some.
Leo couldn't help but laugh out loud as she finished speaking, "You really think you can do that?!" He said bending over some, holding his stomach form all the laughing. Walking back over to the couch his brother was on Leo plopped down next to him and began to rub his eyes some. "Sorry for laughing, and I hate to disappoint ya, but that ain't gonna happen." Leo said as he took in one last deep breath before calming his laughing fit and leaning up against his brother, "Ya, you can do that when their younger but once they get old enough they will despise you for even thinking of putting them in the same clothing." He said chuckling some.
Emelo smiled lightly as he too let out a small giggle. "Though they may not despise you, they won't exactly like it." Emelo added, trying to get and explanation in before his brother chimed back in, "Though this if from personal experience we always hated it when we had to be in the same clothing. Even if it was a different color we always wanted to be in something different. We never wanted to be the same." He said with a smile.
"Oh ya! Though now I must say it is rather enjoyable." Leo said with a large smile, still leaning up against his brother.
"I get we may not change your mind on the matter, but even if you could just choose to have twins it's a rather bad idea." Emelo said.
"No one wants to be the same." Leo said with a straight face as he looked of to the side some, "Ya some may try to be the same by wearing the same thing or having the same hair color, but they have the choice to changed back..." Leo added, still looking off to the side, "Twins are born at around the same time, yes, but identical twins don't have the choice to change back. They were born the same. Ya we could wear something different, ya we may act differently, but in the end there is still someone else that has the same face as you..."
Looking down some, Emelo was feeling the same way his brother was now, "People still think we are one another, ever if we were to wear something different who's to say Leo just wore something I would wear. In the end our faces will always be the same... We can never truly be unique." Emelo added, hoping the girl would kind of understand what they were getting at.
Turning some Leo looked over to the girl. "Not only that but depending on what twins your talking about they can also feel one another's pain." Leo added, he knew it was rare even in twins but since the two of them had this sensation it made it all the more real to him. "It's a bit rare in twins, and the pain has to be somewhat substantial, but it can happen. Its bad enough to feel your own pain but no one wants to feel the same pain their sibling has." Leo added leaning back into his brother a bit more. "Do you really want that to happen?"
Looking over to his brother some Emelo sat back some on the couch before looking back over to the girl. He didn't know how to explain it to the girl to make her believe that, in the end it would be up to her on whether of not she would actually believe them on this part. It did sound far fetched even for them.

after hearing everything , Ratna nodded , it was understandable that they could never be fully different from each other since they are identical, but even more the feeling each others pain " only a few twins I have met have that.... but too meany longs story's about it " Ratna then smiled to them " i think its its enough about me going on about twins , anything you would like to know about me?" she wanted to ease her guest before cooking for them and then making their bed

"Ya, I do." Leo said as he sat up some and turned slightly to look over to the girl, "Why do you say your a witch?" Leo asked bluntly, unsure as to whether he actually believed her with this or not.
"L really?!" Emelo said as he pushed the other brother off his shoulder some and almost do a face palm at what his brother said. He really had not filter... "You can't just ask some one that!"
"Why not? She just asked us if we had any questions for her." Leo said as he flipped over from his brothers shoulder to the arm of the couch, lounging back slightly on the arm rest.
"Still, you can't just ask that! There is this thing called personal space and boundaries and you just crossed the line that defines what it is." Emelo said as he rubbed his two hands on his face some, slightly annoyed by his brother but at the same time no longer caring. "Why can't you think before you speak..." Emelo added under his breath some.
Leo just barely heard his brother and let out an annoyed sigh, "I do. I just tell it like it is..."

"yes i am a witch , like the one in stories and fairy tales, didn't the pointy hat give that away" Ratna said to confirm the question before explaining " just to quickly cover everything , yes i do necromancy, yes i am a temptress who lures men to the never ending sleep sometimes , yes i do magic and dabble in things of old, no i do not own a cat ..... yet , no i dont eat people or eyeballs ... my mother does that... and yes i do own a Calderon and a broomstick but i have not managed to make them fly yet , still working on that part"
Ratna then sat back " In long i just like to keep old tradistions of magic alive , both human and Ander , its history and knowledge and with knowledge can be powerful."
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Sept 14, 2015 20:52:06 GMT
"Wow... Really." Leo said as he looked at the girl. Turning and looking over in Emelo's direction Leo closed his eyes some and leaned farther back into the arm of the couch, crossing his hand behind his head in the process, "That's really weird. Like exactly out of an old fairy tail." Leo said with a slight shrug of the shoulders.
Sighing some, Emelo just ended up ignoring the other twin and turned his full attention back to the girl. "That sound's rather interesting and fun." He said with a smile, "So I'm guessing you learned all your magic and what not from your mother? Since you said something about her, umm... 'eating people and eyeballs'." He asked, letting out a slight cough as he raised his hand up to his mouth to block it some.
"Ha. Maybe she'll eat you." Leo said as he opened just his right eye and gave a smirk to his brother, before closing it and sitting back again.
Emelo glared at his brother for a moment before turning back to Ratna, "And if you dint mind me asking, how long have you two lived here?" Emelo asked as he sat forward some, genuinely interested in what the girl had to say, "If I recall correct you did say that you got this place from your mother, meaning you must have been here for quite some time in order to buy and afford this place right?"
Post by Ratna Campbell on Sept 15, 2015 6:54:42 GMT
Ratna was a bit of relief that the 2 didn't over react to everything as she begain to answer their question "well i know parts of magic from my mother's since she showed me necromancy , and to clear up things up , my mother owned this house way before i was born , before the civil war , she was driven out of lodan ages ago and the house was untouched for a long time while my mother was out of lodan , it was until recently my mother gave me the deed to this house and i was given the title that my mother had , the witch of lodan. I only been here in lodan for half a year which most of that year was spent in the HQ , reading all them Book, so when I had finished and got out so its only been 3 months since i started to live here."
the story was not her longest one but hopefully it would be enough to explain everything.
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Sept 15, 2015 13:47:35 GMT
"Wow..." Emelo said as he listened to what she was saying, "It's hard to believe you were in the HQ that long... But then again with all those books there I can see why." Emelo said with a light smile thinking back to all the books they had. Bringing his attention back to the girl he looked around the room slightly, "And I think it's great that your mother gave this too you! That was very thoughtful of her. Is she here tonight or does she live somewhere else?" Emelo asked trying to make a good conversation continue.
As Leo listened to what his brother has said a small bit of sadness washed over him as his brother mentioned the girls mother. Looking off to the side Leo focused in on some random picture hanging on the wall, still half listening to the conversation on hand.
"I do have to say this is a very nice place here." Emelo smiled, still grateful that Ratna was able to take them in for the night. As he looked around a thought came into his mind, "Oh, if you have any questions for us feel free to ask. It would be rude not to give you the same opportunity to ask them as you just did for us." Emelo said with a light smile. It would be rude if they were the only one's asking all the questions about her life and them not letting her ask a single thing she may want to know.
"The next thing his brother said brought Leo out of the weird state he saw in. Letting out a small huff of air Leo turned his attention to his brother, "We're identical twins what else is there to know..." Leo said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
Emelo just sighed and shook his head slightly, "If there is anything at all just ask." He said with yet another smile, now completely ignoring his brother.

"well my mother is in lodan , just since she is not the witch of lodan any more , she tends to go around the pubs and bars and inns... and mess around with any men she can get , which she is in her 50s and she able to pull men like that so she tend to pop around now and again" Ratna answer the twin's question as she sat back a bit as they offered to tell her anything."thank you dears , i will ask stuff later on , for now i think we should be having dinner , ill make something nice , you can look around the house if you like , just be careful of the doorway behind the bookcase in the hall , that leads to the cave. that its dark down there" she said as she stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Sept 16, 2015 17:24:40 GMT
The two watched as the girl began to leave and make her way towards the kitchen, turning away to look towards one another once she left the room.
A small smirk came over Leos face once the girl left.
"Oh no! No you don't! Don't even think about it!" Emelo said as he stared his brother down, knowing exactly what the other twin wanted or was planning.
"What..." Leo said in a long and drawn out way, pretending he had no idea what Emelo had just said, "I have no idea what your talking about." He said with a shrug of his shoulders as he stood up and began to walk over to the door way. As he walked up to it Leo looked around the door way in search of the book case the girl was just talking about, so what if it was a little dark down there Leo still wanted to know what there was to see, and why the girl would have told them about it.
"L don't. Just because she said we could explore doesn't mean you have to actually do that." Emelo said as he too stood up and walked over to Leo. "When someone says they you can look around that means you sit in the same spot and just look around at the pictures on the wall. Nothing else." Emelo said as he crossed his arms.
"E, come on. You can't tell me you don't want to find out what's down there." Leo said as he walked over to the bookshelf and began to look behind it, in search for what the girl had been talking about.
Sighing some Emelo couldn't help but internally agree with his brother some, he did want to know but at the same time he didn't want to really go looking for it. "Leo... We don't even know how long she will be gone. Come on, let's just go back into the other room and stay there until she is done." Emelo said as he walked back into the other room, but not before making sure his brother was following him.
"Fine..." Leo said as he shoved his hands in his pockets, kicking at the ground some. "Don't think I won't stop. I'm going to find out about that later," He added under his breath some as he walked back into the other room. Sitting down on the one couch Leo stretched out and laid down on the couch, leaving no room for his brother as he lifted his feet up and placed them on the cushioned arm, opposite to the one his head was on.
Emelo sighed as his brother took over the couch, "Oh well..." He said under his breath as he walked over to the other couch and took a seat. Only Leo...

Ratna smiled as she was cooking as she over heared what the twins where talking about "you free to look around , i dont mine go ahead, just be careful " she said knowing that they would do something cheeky , hopefully maybe they would come across something she had not found yet , that or her clothes room.
Post by Emelo and Leo Halvorsen on Sept 27, 2015 2:46:23 GMT
As Leo heard the girl reply a large smile grew on his face as he sat up from lounging on the couch. "Ha!" Leo said to his brother as he popped up and went back into the other room and back to the bookcase. Pushing it some a doorway was revealed, only proving what Ratna said to be true. Pushing the doorway open Leo peered down into its depths, and just as the girl said it was incredibly dark down there. Leo smile as he stepped in and began to make his way down to the cave.
Emelo stared at his brother with wide eyes as Leo popped up and laughed in his face before heading off to the bookcase again. "Leo!" Emelo called out as he sat on the edge of the couch, hoping his brother would come back rather than head off. As he heard the bookcase move Emelo shifted some on the couch, slowly growing more and more uncomfortable about what his brother was doing. "Leo come back here!" Emelo called out as he heard his brother make his way down to the cave. An anxious sigh came from Emelo mouth as he too popped up from the couch and made his way to the cave, quickly catching up with his brother. "Leo do you really have to explore? Why can't we just stay upstairs? We could help Ratna cook! I know you like that!" Emelo said, trying desperately to change his brothers mind.
"Like hell I'm goin' back up there! I want to see what all is down here." Leo said with a smile, though no one would have been able to see it due to the light quickly fading behind them.
It would have been much more challenging if someone other than these two made their way down, but due to their Feline Ander blood the darkness didn't hinder them all that much, in fact it only made both their eyes glow a bright, icy blue in the dark hallway.
"Leo... It's too dark..." Emelo said as he looked around, cowering behind his brother as they made their way down deeper. Even though he could see a good amount he much rather preferred to see things in a more natural light.
Sighing some Leo smiled lightly. Emelo was always afraid of the dark after all, "Alright, hold on..." Leo said as he looked around for a moment, finding a fallen piece of wood lying on the ground. Picking it up he looked it over for a moment, other than it being a little rotten at the top it seemed like just a piece of wood that fell off of something, "Well this will have to do..." He mumbled to himself as he held the wood in his left hand, and snapping his fingers with his right, causing a small thing of sparks to appear. After snapping a few more times the wood caught and created a touch for the two, lighting up the area. (Pyro I; 4 left)
(I will ask you to explain what is down here, since I don't know. Feel free to explain everything and everything, if not I'll just say something about a table with bottles and books on it along with maybe a Calderon or something like that.)

the 2 found themselves in a hall , that seemed to twist and turn , at one end a green glow was seen , as they approached they enters Ratna's cave , the light was being made by a fire with a Calderon with a green glowing water that illuminated the cave, on one side of the cave was a bookcases full of old books and jars of ingredients with 4 tables near by. in another is a smaller cave which has been made into a room with a double bed , a mirror , rugs, wardrobes , dressing tables and near by it a small underground pool that seemed to be apart of a underground river, the 3ed side has what seemed to be a small crept to the side as well as a circle area with candles around it , finally on the final side of the cave was seemed to be a huge table full of bones in different shapes , collectedly lined up in order to create weapons in them form, next to the bones was notes that Ratna had made about all the different thing about necromancy she had been studying , it mumbled about how that due to the magical limit of the world currently is that necromancy limitations as well as possible work around she had been working on , one seemed to be empowering a gem but with a lot of problems of trying to make the magic say on the gem as well as trying to figure out how to fuse magic to an item with upto now is impossible. her grime was also next to the notes too , it was closed and locked.
meanwhile Ratna had finished peeling the potatos and had put them in the bot to be boiled.

As the two walked into the cave area they couldn't help but stop and stare. The woman really was a witch... And if the green light that came from the Calderon that drowned out the their own faint light that came from their torch wasn't enough to prove it then the bones in the corner were. They both stood their staring as different facial expressions came over their faces.
Leo smiled as he took the piece of wood and shook it back and forth some to extinguish the flame, with the light the pot had and their feline eyes that should be plenty of light for his brother and more than enough for himself. "This is crazy..." He said out loud as he walked up to the large pot and looked over the side at it's green liquid, smiling all the while.
"Leoooo......" Emelo moaned as his brother ran off. He didn't like it down here and the face he made only proved it, "Leo I don't like this... Let's go back upstairs!" Emelo said as he carefully walked up a bit closer to where his brother was, feeling like if he touched anything he would be cursed for life.
"Emelo calm down." Leo said as he looked around, still smiling at everything. This place was cool and he wanted to explore every nook and cranny of it, minus the bedroom, that wasn't his cup of tea. As he looked back over to the liquid he couldn't help but slowly get closer to it, "Everything is going to be fine. If there was something really bad down here the girl would have told us. But since she told us about this place and basically said 'go down there just be careful' everything is going to be fine." Leo said as he took his right hand and drew it closer to the green liquid. He wanted to touch it, and feel if it were slimy or not.
"Still... Why would she have told us to-" He began to say as he tuned to see his brother try to stick his hand in the pot, "BE CAREFUL!" Emelo called out as he ran over to his brother and grabbed his hand, pulling it and his brother away from the pot. "Don't do that! What if that was some kind of acid or something! It could have melted you hand off!" Emelo said as he took another step away from the Calderon, pulling his brother with him.
"E Calm Down!" Leo said as he snapped his hand away from his brother, "It's fine! Just relax." Leo said as he walked over to the bookcase and began to looked at the different books that lay in its shelves. "If you really don't like it down here then just go back upstairs. Just call down to me when dinner is ready." Leo said, already knowing his brother would say no and insist on staying down here.
"I... I can't just leave you here all alone..." Emelo said as he followed his brother over to the bookcase, looking over some of the books as well. So far this was the only thing he could say was ok about this place, "I'm staying with you." He said in a voice that sounded as if he was trying to run away from this place.
Because two heads are better than one.
