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

"Yea right!" Elaine chuckled as Zona explained. Then she mentioned stealing from her very friends. Elaine stared her down as she walked around her pulling her jacket tighter. "Don't you dare." She said trying to at least look serious. But being short meant that not everyone tool you as seriously as they ought to. Her partially glare eased as she saw Eryn approaching with another little girl. "Hello Eryn!" Elaine said figuring she'd get a good friendly greeting in even if she didn't know the girl that well. And the girl behind her, Livna. She hadn't seen her before. Was she part of the guild now? No way Elaine could tell from here. She just gave the other girl a soft smile. It seemed like Zona really was becoming a CAEsAL magnet, or very close to one.
Eryn smiled as she got close , "hay whats happening here ?" Eryn asked as she looked to everyone for answers. Livna approached and did a bow to Zona "h hello miss Zona , n nice to see you again" the people around Eryn, Livna felt very nerves as they had something to hide, something Eryn know but seem to have never told her of yet, there was a lot going with this small group. and maybe more to come

"If you want a set of worn out juggling knives." Jasper shrugged presenting one of the old, blunted daggers with a bit of performer's flair. The juggler couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Elaine pulled her jacket closer. "Calm down," he said, humor playing along with his words. "I doubt she'd try and steal anything from one of us - at least, not in front of superior here." He gestured to Edel with his free hand before re-holstering the blade in his other hand. As his brunette companion greeted the girl behind him, he turned slightly to get a good look at her. "Oh, hi, Eryn." He gave a small wave before noticing the similar face besides her. He made a quick face. "Is that who I think it is?" He thought silently but kept on a welcoming smile.

(Two days before) “Sir I believe we have found out where the girl lives.” Pierre said as he stepped in the room. Cyran was sitting near a window, looking out and over the city. “Good. Set someone there and make sure. If she comes there tonight we will set up a team for the following night to follow her the next day. That is when we will attack.” Cyran said as he continued to stare out the window. “Yes sir. I will gather a team now to prepare them.” Pierre said as he began to turn to head off, only to be stopped by Cyran. “This city is littered with unclean blood... That of human, winged, general and even unclean feline... How could this world let such a thing happen... None of this should be...” He said, hate in the back of his voice. “This world needs to be cleansed, if only we had enough people to do so...” He added. Pierre looked out the window from where he stood, “Don't worry sir, we will get there eventually. As we speak more felines back home are joining our ranks and train hard.” He said with a light smile hoping to lift Cyran's spirit. “Yes, I suppose they are...”
"Oh really?!" Zona said with a slight smirk but more of a shocked face, playing if up like she was shocked he would say that. When in fact it only made her want to prove that she could and would do it even more. Pretending as though she wouldn't Zona shoved on hand in her pocket as she rubbed the back of her head, "I will say it is a bit intimidating to try somethin' like that in front of someone higher up..." Zona said as she casually looked around some noticing something shiny on the belt of the girl next to her. Turning she just smiled at Eryn for the moment before she shoved her other hand in her pocket, "Oh we aren't doin' much." Zona said with a shrug as she noticed Elaine ease some as Eryn and her friend showed up, she could use that... "They're just bein' mean..." Zona said with a small pout as she crossed her arms some and turned away from Jasper, looking at the compass on the girls belt for but a split second, zoning in one where it was located, she could easily grab that in a simple walk around. She would just need to time it right...
"So what are you doing here Eryn? Just out enjoying the day or have ya got a plan in mind?" Zona asked as she looked to see where Livna was. Casually Zona walked behind Elaine, swiped the compass and walked over to Livna, keeping the shiny object out of sight in the opposite hand of the crowd before slipping it into her pocket in a manner that would be invisible to anyone who wan't actually watching her every single move. Bending down some Zona looked at the small girl with a smile as she gently placed a hand on the girls shoulder, "So how has everythin' been goin for you Livna?" Zona asked not only to give herself a good reason to walk around Elaine but to also ask and see how the girl was doing. "Has the city been kind to you as of late?" She asked with a light smile, genuinely concerned about the girl.

"So that's 'Livna'..." Edelweiss thought, looking at the grey-haired girl who came walking around Eryn. She was just as pale as Eryn was too, so that was a peculiarity making easy to deduce they had really came from similar origins. At least for now, she seemed like a meek, good child, and the redhead offered a smile while crouching down slightly so she'd not be towering over the two young girls. "Hello Eryn. And so you're Livna, nice to meet you. Eryn talked of you before."
The talk between Zona and Jasper made the redhead snort... and "Zona, give that back. It's Elaine's, not yours." She stated with a don't-make-me-retrieve-it-myself serious tone. She is watching the blue-haired gal's every move, it was an habit extended towards all of her workers whenever they where within sight. Besides, Zona couldn't steal from Stephen, and Stephen only had one visible eye to keep on her; no way Zona would steal around her either.

Elaine watched Zona warily for a moment until the woman went to talk to Eryn. She never felt or noticed her beloved compass getting swiped. She watched the interactions between Zona and Livna then Edel and Eryn. Well, they all knew each other. Elaine would have to catch up on her acquaintance list and add a few more people. It always paid to know lots of people even if you weren't friends with all of them. "Zona, give that back. It's Elaine's, not yours." Elaine cast a curious glance at Edelweiss for a second and then her eye widened. 'No. She didn't.' Elaine thought instantly starting to carefully go through her pockets. Her hand traveled to her belt and she felt around only to notice her usual ornament had vanished. The feline turned on Zona with accusing glare. She crossed her arms using Edel's commands as the foundation of her smug composure. She held out a waiting hand unamused by the trick.

(Day of) "Today is the day men! Today we are going to get that cleaver and teach her who is boss!" Melvan called out as Pierre stood next to him with a straight face. Taking a step forward, Pierre cleared his throat with a slight cough. "What Melvan is trying to say here, is that today we will carry out our mission Mr. Cyran needs us to complete. We have one target and one objective 'Bring the girl back alive'." Pierre said as he straightened his tie some. Just as Pierre was about to say something else Melvan jumped in front of him and interrupted, "Though Cyran never said how alive he wanted her!" Melvan added with a wicked smile to his face. Pierre rolled his eyes as he grabbed Melvan's shoulder and pulled him back some, causing himself to now stand back in front of the group. "True that may be don't do anything too bad to the girl. She does have to be conscious when we bring her to Melvan. You do all remember who we are after correct?" Pierre asked, more to help Clark who was standing in the back than anyone else. "Yes sir!" The men shouted as the turned and split off in all directions. Melvan and Pierre stayed put on the roof they were all just on, looking over the edge to see where the men went off to.
The men made their way throughout the city. Cyran brought them all not because he thought the winged Ander would be a threat but more because of how large he heard the city was, and it was a good thing he did that too, the city of Lodan was much larger than people let on. Clark, who stayed near the back of the group got lost as he went off on his mission to keep an eye out for the girl and those who ran the city, he was also stuck with Gus... "How old are you?" He asked as he looked down at the child. Gus just looked up at him with wide eyes, holding the ratty bear close, and either not understanding what Clark was saying or playing like he didn't know anything. Either way Gus wouldn't be helping much... "This is going to be a long day..." He said as he looked up, noticing a blue haired girl in the distance. "It can't be..." He said to himself as he scrambled for the radio in his pocket. "I see her!" He called out in the radio, "I see the Noakes girl!!!" He said as he darted off to the side so no one would see him, grabbing Gus in the process.
Hearing the news Pierre sent out the small group of Melvan's man and made Clark wait where he was, after all that was all they would need... Pierre than made his way to where Cyran was calling home. As Pierre entered he saw Cyran sitting back near the window again, “Sir, someone has found the girl. We sent out three of Melvan's men to retrieve her, we also have Clark on the lookout there to let us know if we need to send in more people.” Pierre said as he waited for Cyran's reply. Cyran just sat back in his chair as he looked out the window, "Today is the day..." He said to himself as a wicked smile came over his face. Zona sighed as Edelweiss called her out on grabbing the girls compass. "Man..." Zona said as she stood back up and pulled the shiny object out of her pocket, "You and Stephen are the only ones who have ever caught me... You got super human eyes or somethin' like that?" Zona asked as she looked over to Edelweiss before turning and dropping the compass into its owners hands, before shoving her own back into her pockets. "Man I can't even try and prove a point here..." Zona said as she looked down some and shook her head, "This is a sad day for the blue haired girl." Zona said as she stood next to Elaine.
Merl, Jack, and Gail had just made there way to where Clark and Gus were. "You said you found her?" Jack asked as he looked over to Clark. "Ya she is talking with a group of people, I believe I saw three adults with her and two little kids. They are over there." Clark said as he pointed slightly around the corner, showing the others where the group was. Gail turned back to Clark and Gus as they all hid in the shadows, "Are y'all ready to get this thang started?" Gail asked as everyone nodded their heads and began to move. As everyone left Gail stopped just in front of Clark as he put a hand on the mans shoulder, "Ay, where do ya think yer goin'? Ya need to be 'ere. Warn 'em if we need more 'elp." Gail said before turning back around and catching up with the rest of the group. "But-..." Clark began as he watched everyone walk way, "Ok..." He said quietly to himself as he held the radio close to him, watching everything from the shadows, away and out of sight from everyone.
"Everyone ready?" Merl said as everyone nodded once again, "Then lets go!" He added as everyone stood up straight and walked off into the street making their way to the group. Gail stood in the front of the group as Jack stood on his right and Merl on his left, Gus hid behind them all being unseen by anyone at or above the height of a normal adult. "Oi! Y'all got somethin' we need!" Gail called out as they reached the group.

"Something like that." The redhead responded with a half-smile on her face. Maybe she and Stephen didn't have super human eyes, but they did have experience sharpening their senses more than normal. Zona wasn't too far behind herself either, so maybe if she had focused her years on catching on people's subtle motions instead of just using those she'd also be able to catch sight of her own acting.
She was about to reply something to Zona's remark that today was a sad day for her, but the sound of multiple oncoming steps and the group of men suddenly surrounding them caused Edelweiss to just take a deep breathe, and take a look at each of them individualy. Something they needed? She responded (with a question), her voice slightly raised to be better heard, and a raised eyebrow and highly unimpressed expression on her face: "Pretty faces, charm and decently articulated vocabulary?"
And then a whisper to Zona: "Seriously, how many people did you picpocket today?"
Livna nodded to the people however the one woman , the one that Eryn called Mama , she looked different , she could feel a bit uneasy around her. but never the less she bowed "n nice to meet you too " she replied. it was odd for her to say but Livna could not see why Eryn saw this lady as a mother .... maybe it was the same way that Livna saw the doctor like a farther?
Eryn on the other hand took the chance to Hug Edelweiss with a happy smile on her face, however some new people came over, Eryn suddenly turned their attention to them as a bad feeling started to come over her , these men didn't look friendly at all. she quickly faced them ready for anything , Livna also did the same but stood next to Eryn left . the pair was ready.

Elaine snatched back her compass and clipped it back on her belt when someone called out to them. She tried her best not to snicker at her leader's comment to the men. Sarcasm must run in the guild, or it is taught to be spoken fluently. She felt the tension almost skyrocket and rested an hand on the hilt of her dagger facing away from the men. It wouldn't be easily seen from where they were standing. She didn't feel like speaking seeing as Edel had this conversation handled and shipped "return to sender". The girl merely watched from behind her pausing only to cast a glance in Jaspers' and Zonas' direction. Where was this going and why were there so many of them?

"Hey I'll admit that I have a bit of a score today but not with guys like this." Zona said as she looked at the men with slightly narrowed eyes. She had never seen any of these men before and had no idea why they were here or what they wanted, "Besides I wouldn't go after guys like that... I doubt they have anythin' valuable on them at all." Zona said as she straighten up some, trying to look a little taller.
"Ay lady, big words like 'hat ain't gonna get ya no where." Gail replied as the group of men stopped right in front of the other group. "Listen, we ain't wanten' a fight y'all but we 'ill if ya don't give us what we came fer. Give us the blue 'aired girly and y'all will be fine." He said as she lowered his head some, eyeing all the people in the group yet keeping a slight smile on his face all the while.
Zona's eyes when a bit wide as the man said they wanted her, "What in the hell do ya want with me? I ain't done nothin' to ya so why do ya want me?" She asked as she crossed her arms and stood strong where she was standing, not willing or planning on going with the group of men. "And I ain't goin' with ya so get lost..." Zona added as she stared down the group.
All the men began to turn and look at one another as they all began to laugh, "Listen girly we can't tell ya why, and you will be coming with us whether ya like it or not." Jack said with a smile as he too crossed his hand over his chest, but rather than stand the he, along with the rest of the group, took another step forwards towards the group. "Now..." He said as he glanced over to Gail "Y'all gonna 'and over the girl or are we gonna 'ave ta take 'er from the lot of ya?" Gail asked knowing full well that the girl wouldn't just hand herself over but the group she was with might. "Just remember..." Merl chimed in as he placed a hand on the hilt of the sword that lay on his side, the same one all the men were wearing, "We will take whether you like it of not, so make your choice wisely." He added as all the men put a hand on their swords, ready for a fight.

"First: she's not something, she's someone. Second: she already said she's not going. Didn't your mothers educate you about having a lady's consent before doing anything to her?" Edelweiss spoke with her hands stuck n her own pockets, standing straight and glaring daggers at those men surrounding them. They either had a lot of guts or were very stupid to walk into her District, demand one of her workers as an object (that didn't belong to them anyway), and threaten them in their own territory. Either way it didn't amuse her in the least.
"I'll have to request that you all leave. But if you insist on anything funny..." She moved her hands out her pockets again with a flicker of wrists, and something glistened in the air for a second. Hope a couple of those thugs enjoy having their swords smacked off their hands... or being striked by razor-sharp wire (depending on how they move) before she retracted it again. "Feel free to try."
Eryn noticed the swords knowing things would not end well , but when Edelweiss used her needles to make there hands go off , Eryn quickly looked then over , and readies one of her ropes and hooks in hand. she planned to use her magic to speed up and just tie the nasty men up by simply running around them with the rope, with the hook part being held by someone or attached to something . it was the best plan she had as she looked to Livna and then to Edelweiss to say to them without saying a word 'ready to get them '
Livna watch as this all happened she was surprised that these men threaten them as well as how that Edelweiss woman did that trick, it was then she saw Eryn look over to her , Livna noticed the rope and know Eryn wanted to do something , something to do with that rope , tie them up? it was the best answer as she nodded back to say 'am ready if you are '
the 2 of them where ready , knowing together they could do anything.

Elaine narrowed her eyes and studied the men up and down. Who were these people and why did they want Zona specifically.? "You have got to stop making enemies and start making friends!" She murmured quietly back to her blue haired friend keeping her eyes forward. The dark haired assassin watched Edel somehow disarm a few of them. "She said she's not going." The girl said. She curled her fingers tighter around the hilt of her dagger. Elaine stood tall with the others clearly annoyed with the men and their arrogance. She cast a swift glance to Edelweiss and Zona only giving a small, almost unseen nod.

"Ahh!..." All the men called out as their hands were hit with something. "Ay, What in the 'ell was that?!" Gail called out as he rubbed his hand for a moment before balling it up into a fist and lowering it to his side. Merl removed his hand for just a moment before returning it right back were it was. Jack on the other hand did something different form the other two, causing his hand to be cut by the wire Edelweiss sent at them. Jack rubbed it some as blood slowly began to drip down his hands. Gail noticed this and stared down the woman, "Oi, wrong move lady..." He said, gripping his sword.
Zona glanced over to Elaine as she said something about her making enemies, "Why must everyone think I did something to these guys..." Zona said just loud enough for the two people around her to hear, "I have no idea who these guys are." She added as she looked over to Elaine for a moment before looking back at the men. She had a feeling this wouldn't end well...
Clark watched form the shadows as his comrades approached the group, and from where her was standing it seemed like they would need more help... and soon. Grabbing the radio he called over Melvan and Pierre, "Back up, Back up! Gail and his group needs back up! And hurry!" He said as he peered around the corner some, gripping the radio tight.
"Back up, Back up! Gail and his group needs back up! And hurry!" Sighing some Melvan looked over to where the radio sat, "Fine we will be there soon." He called out to the piece of plastic as he looked off into the distance, stretching some in the process. Just then Pierre arrived, "Well its about time that ya got back." Melvan said as he looked off in the direction they needed to go with a rather bored look. "What is it we need to do?" Pierre said with the same emotionless face he always had, "Why do ya say that? What makes ya think we need to do anything?" Melvan said as he looked over his shoulder to the taller man behind him. "I say that because not only are you up and standing but the radio is moved. It wouldn't be there if you didn't get a message from Clark." Pierre said as he stepped up next to Melvan Looking down at the group of men awaiting their command. "Your insane ya know that right." Melvan said as he too looked down at the men. Taking a breath he let out a whistle causing all the men to look up at the two, "Alright men, now is your time to make us proud! Its time to move out!" Melvan called out as he raised a fist, causing the men to shout and make whooping sounds. The group had about 25 men, give or take a few. They all began to make their way off in the direction they needed to go, Melvan and Pierre making their behind the group on the roof tops, after all they were only there if things went wrong.
"Get 'em!" Gail called out as he drew his sword and lunged at the red hair. He didn't care who the others went for as long as one of them went after the blue haired girl. "Yer all mine!" Gail said as he swung his sword at the Edelweiss head. He wanted her dead.
Merl looked around some and decided he would go after the brunette and leave the blue haired ander for Jack. Pulling his sword out too he went after Elaine, sword back and ready to be swung. Though he did something a bit different than Gail, instead of going head first at the girl he threw a bit of deceit at her, making it seem like he was charging right at her even though he was just standing a few feet away (Deceit II). He would go after her once she made her first move.
Noticing how everyone else picked someone Jack realized he had to get the blue haired ander. Whipping his hand some Jack too grabbed his sword and lunged at the woman. Zona noticed this and easily dodged it, after all his over all form and everything was very sloppy, she used that to her advantage. And she dodged it she extended her leg some in the process causing the man to trip over it and fall flat on his face, right in front of Eryn and Livna, "Sorry about that..." Zona called out to the two girls, she didn't mean to send the man falling right at them. Turning some she looked over to Edel and Elaine. Zona figured Eryn could handle the man that fell in front of them, and just hoped everyone else could handle the men that came after them.
Jack sat up some, looking around a bit dazed having no idea that Zona was behind him. "What the..." He said as he noticed the two girls in front of him. He decided he would finished them off before going back after the blue haired one. Staying one the ground Jack swung his sword at the two, and if all went right of him it would hit the two girls right around their waist.
Meanwhile Jasper was standing somewhere where the men didn't see him... Ya...
(Ok just to make sure everyone knows Edelweiss is fighting Gail, Elaine is fighting Merl, and Eryn is fighting Jack. Oh and remember everyone that is here will be a feline ander, so magic is something that will happen. Anyway the the fighting begin!)
