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

Open to Danny Ravensdale It was just a little past noon when a certain redhead crossed the streets of the Theater District, a couple overly large grocery bags held in her arms and hiding her face in a way tat it might be called a miracle how she had not bumped into something or someone yet due to having her view partially disrupted. Grocery days tended to be fun, and were relatively easy to handle when she had someone to help her, but this time her usual helpers were busy and she ended up doing it all on her own.
'I could really use some help...' She thought and let out a minor sigh. Oh well. So long as she's careful not to drop something on the way... She had made all her way back from the Merchants District afterall. All that was missing was heading back to her own home and stash all that humongous amount of stuff in their due places.

Hrmmm. Danny peered down from one of her rooftop perches in the Theater District. She was very Batman-esque that way. What she saw from her vantage point was hundreds of people walking through the district, doing their own thing and enjoying their own times. Except someone who'd only just reentered the place that Danny spotted due exclusively to her red hair. Danny clambered from her perch down to the main street and wove her way through the crowds until she drew near a certain red head.
"'ey, Red. Need'a 'and?" Danny's smug grin fell from beneath her scarf when she realized this was the wrong red head. Oops... Danny quickly scampered away before whoever that was could determine who spoke to them. She wasn't paying much attention to where she was going when she walked smack dab into the very person she'd thought she'd found. Oof!

"...Danny?" Edelweiss asked, lowering the grocery bags just enough to see the top of Danny's head... or hat as she scampered around a bit carelessly. The 'wrong' redhead was a little surprised at the voice calling her but not in an unpleasant way, and it wasn't hard for her to remember the blonde friend's voice... if Danny considered her a friend, but well, one-sided or not herself did.
"I was just thinking I could use a little help, actually." She chuckled. It was like a 'speak of the devil' kinda deal. "...What are you doing?" She had to ask about the walk-smack-dabbing thing though.

Danny whirled around to look up at what she could only assume was Edel. "Yeh, s'Danny. Whatcha doin'?" Danny stepped one way, then the other before stepping in and trying to take some of the groceries Edel was carrying. "What am I doin'? Oh, a lil this, a lil tha'. Jus' livin' an' breathin', ya know?" Danny adjusted her parcels before looking back at the taller woman. "So where're ya goin' wit this stuff anyways?"
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Sept 20, 2015 23:43:04 GMT
"Just taking groceries home - thanks, by the way. The amount of edible stuff there was getting dangerously low." She shrugged with a bit of a grin while Danny took one of the humongous bags. "Living and breathing is good. And it's been a while since we last met in a casual way like now, right?"

Danny shrugged her shoulders as she hefted the bag back up. How much did this woman buy? Didn't matter, she guessed. "Eh, don' mention it. 'as been a while though. Whatcha been up to? Anythin' interestin' 'appenin'?" Danny hefted the bag higher up as she followed Edel.

"Always." The redhead snickered at the question if anything interesting was happening. She wasn't sure what kind of news Danny would be interested into though. "From simple silly things like new business opening or discounts for stuff, to crazier things from both my friends putting on a show and random strangers. A couple weeks ago I met a man who was dressed in full on black mourning attire because his favourite play was cancelled in the theater. And then there's the strange sight of going into any good cafes lately and spotting both EIRAL and pirates sitting mixed at the tables without them being aware of each other."
Edelweiss lived in an apartment complex a street down from where they had initially started walking. Not the entire complex, of course, just one of the apartments - the one on the top floor. Neat place and nice view, but Anders couldn't take the lift for very obvious reasons, so stairsteps it was. Blessed be heavens that Danny was helping with carrying the bags.

Danny listened as she carried her package. Two friends putting on a show for strangers? That'd be something to look into later. "What? Because his favorite play was canceled? That's just dumb..." Danny couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Some people... She shook her head and looked at the stairs. Great... Somehow Danny felt Edel had orchestrated this for some reason or another. Probably to get a laugh. She hiked the bag further up and started climbing the steps.
"Sounds like you've had a better time than me. Mostly I've been splitting time between tracking monsters and running deliveries without being stopped by EIRAL and taken away." Danny sighed as she continued climbing. Too much to do, not enough time to do it she supposed.
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Sept 24, 2015 22:25:49 GMT
"I'm obliged to agree." She nodded with a snicker when Danny commented that mourning clothes for a cancelled play was dumb. But people and their silliness was part of what made life amusing.
"There were less pleasant moments too, of course, but I see no need to dwell in them if it's not really necessary... You sound like you could use a break though. Can't be all business 24/7, it wears anyone out. Or drives them crazy." Whatever happened first. Edelweiss thought for a second as they made their way up the stairsteps. No, she had not orchestrated anything to make Danny have that 'extra exercise session', but it was indeed quite a climb, that she knew very well. "How about something to drink and eat when we reach my place and I can settle this stuff? I remember the last time we met at the Hovel we were going for it" Before bumping into drunk Lasair and then heading to Danny's house to talk about guild stuff. "but in the end we never did."

Danny rolled her eyes and laughed good naturedly. "We ain' all got 'nuff ta be takin' breaks. I ain' gettin' outta the 'ovel if I don' get no money. 'sides, yer talkin' ta me. Ya really think I ain' crazy already?" Danny let out a puff of air as she climbed. Stupid stairs... she couldn't even get the climb done and over with because she had to wait for Edel.
"Hmm? Well, I ain' one ta turn down food an' drink. An' if ya lemme 'elp, I been told I'm a pretty good cook. Go 'head an' ask tha' prissy pussycat wit the eyepatch ya keep skulkin' 'round." Danny spoke with pride about her cooking. Genuine pride, not the feigned arrogance she normally wore but something a more substantial. More real.

"You're less crazy than many of my workers, that I can assure you." The redhead replied, amused, but she was only half-joking about that. Reaching the right floor and finally stopping in front of her apartment's entrance, Edelweiss settled the bags she was still carrying on the floor for a moment to first fetch the key from her pocket and open the door, and second to grab the umbrella from the hanger nearby it and use the long tip to turn on the light's switch. A trick she learned from her father to not burn out the bulbs or eletrical wiring around; not like she could touch the stuff directly, but it worked.
"Help in the kitchen will be much appreciated." She said at first, picking the bags up again and taking them inside to place on the nearest table, but then the last part of what Danny said registered in her mind and she let out a rather unrefined snort. "You cooked to Stephen? That's a story I'd love to know the details of." And also made a mental note to prod aforementioned cat lord on why had he never commented about that very amusing little story to her before.

Danny laughed and shook her head when Edel commented on her sanity. "D'ya really think tha'? Who else's... doin' wha' I'm doin'? Eh?" Danny paused in her sentence before deciding it was better to leave things ambiguous. Well that was nifty. She'd have to remem- hey!
"'ey! Ya don' think I can cook?" Danny glared indignantly at Edel before finding a spot to put down her packages. "I'm a righ' good one too!" She unwrapped her scarf, took off her hat, and threw her jacket onto the floor by the doorway so none of it would get in the way while she worked in the kitchen. "A'righ', Eddie, ya can jus' sit yer 'appy b'hind down an' watch me work if ya think it's so funny." The girl snuffed her nose with her thumb and glared at Edel. All good natured, but still a glare from a very short girl.

"Do you mean going around the trees among shadow beasts? Well, the kids from here who are training there. Running across the rooftops? Pretty much half of my guild does it too." And almost all assassins Except Stephen, with his phobia of heights. "Pulling some strings here and there with guild relations and getting profit for diverse matters while readying some unnamed sort of plan that not even god knows of? I think all guilds are doing that." The redhead shrugged and focused on emptying the grocery bags over the kitchen counter to start sorting everything, but then turned to look more directly at Danny when heard that indignated question. "What?" She blinked, confused, just to get it better a second later and end up chuckling. "...Oh, no, that's not what I meant. You cooking in itself isn't really surprising, what surprised me was you cooking to that grumpy cat Stephen is. If you want to show your skills alone for a moment though go ahead, I'll get some tea brewing before joining you."

"Tha's... no' quite wha' I meant, no." Danny shook her head and picked up some of the cooking supplies she'd helped carry home. Let's see, let's see. What do we have. Danny rummaged through the bags before asking Edel a question. "'ey Eddie, wha'cha wanna eat?" Danny looked at the groceries again and frowned. What should she even start with? Danny looked back at Edel. "Why's it strange tha' I'd cook fer Stephen? Sourpuss ge's all kinds'a wrapped up in sappy stuff. Kid's a romantic at 'eart."
Danny pulled out some carrots at the least. And an onion. A couple cloves of garlic... but what else? What to make? "Ya go' any lime? An' some pork mebbe?"

"That's true, I'll give you that. But he's prone to nitpick and doesn't like walking in the Hovel, so I had to wonder how you sent the staff in his kitchen (or in a restaurant) away so they'd let you work in peace. It's a surprise of the good kind though; quite nice to imagine." Edelweiss shrugged. "Hmmm, something quick, I guess. How about a couple omelets with filling? And maybe cheese fried dumplings." She rambled while browsing through the tea boxes kept in the cupboard. Most were of the fruity kind, and a couple herbal ones... chamomile maybe? No, that might make them sleepy. Strawberry it is then, it would go well with anything even if random.
"There're limes somewhere amid those bags, I'm sure of it... Pork is in the fridge though. You can use that to open the door." She pointed at the oddly-placed cane next to aforementioned fridge. It was hard to miss. Don't try to mess with the fridge using your bare hands, Danny, the redhead has one hell of a trouble not breaking it on her own, and having two Anders (herself included) in the kitchen surely didn't help with that. Goddratted tech being too fragile around them.
