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 Edelweiss FjärilAmon sighed, stretching his left arm. He was currently sitting on the floor, back resting against Edel's couch, his suitcase open and resting on the coffee table. At the moment, he was working on maintenance and improvements on his original arm, while at the same time, practicing the use of his second, more realistic arm. Not exactly the best idea to do so while in the presence of an Ander, but with their busy schedule and the whole war thing going on, finding time to hang out with Edel was becoming exceedingly difficult. Besides, it was about time for a breather, especially after the Battle of Castamere.
"...I think I got the hang of it..." Amon said absent-mindedly, observing the movements on his right arm. It had taken some time, but he was finally able to gain control over all five fingers again. While nice, this particular arm still couldn't house any weapons, a price for its realistic design. Still, it could have its uses...outside of simply showing off that is...

A mechanic tinkering around with their projects in the middle of her living room. There was a time, rather recent still - from just a couple years ago - when a scene like that would have been perfecty common to Edelweiss, but since the civil war had ended it had stopped happening... until now, that is. Now there was another war in a whole different scale looming on their heads, and part of her was busy keeping in check that irrational little sprout of fear that something horrible would happen soon again, but the vast majority of herself was just content to have that little moment of peace and watch Amon working while she remained sitting on the couch, elbows propped on her thighs and chin on her hands as she leaned forward to look closer without touching anything.
"And I think I got the biggest dejavu feeling I ever had." She admitted, a bit of a fond smile showing on her lips.

Amon turned to look at Edel. Queens she was cute. That smile could melt away all of his troubles.
"What do you mean by that?" Amon asked, an amused smile of his own forming on his face.

"Sienna came over a few times with her projects too. Usually it was me, Leah and Sarah who hung around her workshop in our free time instead, but when she was making something small enough to carry around she sometimes visited and spreaded her things over and around the table." She replied along a small shrug, but otherwise didn't move much. She wondered if he would know who Sarah or Leah were, but at least of Sienna he should know since the girl had founded his guild. "She was a lot messier and less secretive than you though. There was this one time she spilled an oil bottle on the carpet (a small one) and we passed more time trying to clean it than we did snacking or she did working."
Amon couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah...sounds just like her," he chuckled. "I didn't really get a chance to interact with her much, but from what I saw, messy and open fits her description perfectly."
"...Such a missed opportunity..." he sighed, turning a little melancholic. So many people came and went, either to pursue other ventures or meet their maker.

"Sie was the only engineer I knew of who wasn't scared of letting me give a hand. I think 'pass me that wrench' was the sentence I heard from her the most (though not like I could touch much else)." And it was always the wrench, for some strange reason. Edelweiss couldn't help but chuckle while wondering if Sienna just liked saying that or it was randomly always the only thing that she kept out of reach just so she'd have something to fetch.
"I miss her sometimes... But still, better cherish the memories than get depressed by them. I don't think that'd make her happy." And the redhead was also pretty sure Amon didn't come for a visit just to feel depressed either.

"Well...less of 'cherished memories' and more of 'I wish I interacted with her more' sort of thing," Amon replied with a bit of a dry laugh.
"...Sorry for the melancholic feeling...I guess it's just that the number of people for my guild that have passed away is sorta getting to me..." he continued with a sad smile.
"Never thought that I'd ever be affected by this sort of thing..."

Oh right. He was probably the only Guild Leader who wasn't accustomed to seeing considerable death tolls in his ranks; she wasn't sure if it was the same at MI but heavens knew all too well death applied to her own workers like an odd sort of unexpected retirement (to the assassins and informants at the very least), surely also to BoR's members and obviously to EIRAL. Amon's guild was by far the safest one amongst the 5 existing in Lodan, but Sveden had already proven they didn't spare anyone, innocent or guilty. Edelweiss couldn't help but think if anything, him being affected by that should be expected. A little proof of sanity of sorts.
"It's normal to be affected." She gave a half-smile and hooked a finger into his hairtie and lightly tugged him closer to her seat. "But we're still here." And for that she was glad.
Amon allowed her to pull him, resting his head on her knee. "Dunno if I want to pay the price for that ransom," he chuckled dryly.
He nuzzled her leg a bit. "...Honestly though, being around you helps," he eventually said.

"Well, the only other hostage here is your hairtie to my finger." She replied with a half-smile and lightly tugged at the little object a couple times again just to make a point.
That last estatement of his made her give a fuller smile "That's mutual." And a faint touch of pink tinting her cheeks since he's, well, nuzzling her thigh and that fact was being a tad difficult to ignore.

A smile of his own formed at Edel's response. After one quick nuzzle, he turned himself to get a better look at her, resting his chin on her thigh and hooking his left arm around her leg.
"...You're really cute when you blush, you know that?" he said after observing her facial features for a bit.

"Hmm I could deduce that much with the way you keep trying to make me blush." She chuckled, moving her fingers through the top of his hair while he was laying his head on her lap. "Are you sure you don't want to sit up here?" On the couch to talk to her at eye-level instead of being on the floor. Was her floor really that comfortable?
"All power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - John Dalberg-Acton
...Then again, his butt was getting tired of her floor...
He got up and sat next to her on the couch, wrapped his left arm around her, and began to nuzzle her neck instead.
He didn't really know why he was so cuddly and playful today; perhaps it was a way to stave off the lurking feeling that karma was going to find a way to ruin this, and that he'd better take advantage of the good feels right now...

This felt nice. In an odd way, that was as natural as breathing, even though it was the first time she could recall him touching her like that. And then that line of thought brought the tint of pink back to her cheeks.
Fortunately or unfortunately her skin is quite sensitive and all that nuzzling on her neck got her giggling when he hit a ticklish spot. "You're really affectionate today." Not like she's complaining, mainly not with her own arms wound around his waist and pulling him closer.

Oh? So she's ticklish! Amon couldn't help but give a sneaky grin as he increased his nuzzling and kissing on her neck for a bit before properly facing Edel.
"I guess I'm just taking advantage of our infrequent time together, trying to make the most of it," he said, giving her an eskimo kiss.
