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 Zona K. Noakes and Howl Reed and maybe Julian Darknoll too, if he's not afraid to meet little 'ol me Zona hadn’t been around for quite some time. And normally that wouldn’t worry Lasair, he was mildly concerned when Edelweiss even stated that she had been away from work; a risking thing to do given her profession. Still, Lasair had a feeling the blue-haired girl wasn’t in danger. He was just wondering where she had spent all the lost time.
Today he had been, more or less, forced to go out and walk about the city. So he was walking up and down the streets. When he came to the one Zona lived at, he slowed his pace a bit, eyes looking up at the older house and wonder if she was inside. He had spent a night within the walls afterall, so it had an odd sort of feeling for him. But, he wouldn’t stop to knock. No, it would be better to keep walking until he was allowed to return to current place of residence.

Zona yawned as she stretched a bit, pushing the covers back. It was nice being able to sleep in her own bed again, it had been way too long. Rubbing her eyes a bit Zona turned and pushed herself out of bed, hooking up her leg before standing up and heading down stairs. "Man it's good to be back." Zona said with a smile as Tilly hopped off the couch and climbed up onto her shoulder. "Ya I missed ya too." She added as she scratched Tilly's back who gave a friendly purr back. Zona smiled as she walked over to the cabinet, opening it up to find nothing but 3 empty shelves and green bread... "Ewww..." Zona cringed some as she closed the door, "Well looks like I need some food hu?" And with that she made her way back up to change and head out on her way.
Tilly stayed on her shoulder as Zona opened the front door and went outside. The two took a deep breath in as they stepped outside. Looking around some Zona noticed a familiar face staring at her house, "Well long time no see." Zona said with a smile as she walked over to the man. "How have ya been?"

Howl was woken by a not so pleasant rough feeling on his face. Quickly opening his eyes he was greeted by two huge black eyes staring back at him. "How did you get out? I put you a glass case downstairs" Howl mumbled. I guess you will never cease to show me how smart you are. Pushing her to the side Howl sat up, it's nice to sleep in your own bed again. Howl got ready for the day. He decided he would go find Lasair and see of he knew anything about toxicology, because if Seraphina ever bit anyone... Howl knew a little from what he read but not nearly enough to engineer a anti-toxin. Grabbing Serphina and letting her hide in his sleeve Howl stepped out side and he caught a glimpse of some fiery red hair. He attempted to keep up with Lasair but the crowed of people wouldn't let him catch up. Until Lasair seemed to stop at a small old house and Howl waited behind him intrigued as to what Lasair was doing, until Zona poped out of the house and called out to Lasair. Howl was surprised, he had no idea that they new each other. Stepping out of the crowed of people Howl went to go approach the pair. His stomach got all twisted as he got closer. Lasair always made him nervous, after all he is Howls boss and could probably do much worse than kill him. "He-Hello guys.." He said almost not audible.

Zona smiled some as she heard another familiar voice "Yo Howl! Long time no see!" Zona said with sarcasm in her voice and a smirk on her face, "Good to see ya again." She added as she crossed her arms some and looked over to the boy.
(Just a heads up Julian won't be replying yet. He is wait for a good time. I know this because he is my brother and lives with me... so ya, just a heads up.)

“Well I’ll be…” Lasair muttered as Zona herself emerged from the previously empty house, acting like she hadn’t been missing for the past few months. He almost smiled at the event, but found his lips unmoving. “Hey Zona,” he greeted. “I’ve been doing fine, but how about yourself? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you in town. Everyone’s been wondering what happened to you.”
Before she had a chance to answer, another face that had been missing for a while appeared as well. “Hey Howl,” Lasair said with a calm expression, putting a light smile on his face to ease the younger boy. “Been a long time since I’ve seen you too. This is proving to be quite the reunion. You two know each other? Howl and I met at a bookstore a while back. We have similar reading tastes.” He spoke fluently, never missing a beat or pausing in his words. Given the nervousness of the guild member, Lasair hoped that offering him some sort of believable story would ease his mind. After all, membership in a secret guild was meant to stay secret. And if Lasair’s suspicions were true, then Zona would understand that just as well as he did.

"Ah I can see that." Zona said as she crossed her arms some, "I actually crashed in to him not to long after I got the new leg." Zona said as she patted her leg some and looked over to Howl, "That sure was fun." She smirked some as a small laugh came out as she thought back to the encounter. "He sure is a fun guy, though I still don't get why he walks around with that stick." She said with a smiled as she walked over to the boy and leaned up against him, acting as though he could be a younger brother.

"Oh.. Yes we did m-meet a while back huh. That was right before I left." Howl responded to Lasair. When Zona got close to Howl he tried to shy away from her Howl responded "Well my stick is a very long story... N-not for today." Glancing at Lasair "Sorry to intrude ill come and find you later L-Lasair" Howl turned to go but Seraphina slid out of his clothes on to the ground and worked her way over to Zona's house and started looking around. "Oh this is Seraphina" Howl said picking her up. "She is my new snake friend"

“I’m always been curious about the stick myself,” Lasair commented, but didn’t press the issue. It was rather amusing that Zona was being so friendly to him, especially since he was so much taller than she was; taller than Lasair himself even. The kid would stick out in a crowd, that’s for sure.
When Howl mentioned leaving to come another time though, Lasair raised his eyebrows in mild confusion. “Leave? Why don’t you stay? We can catch up about everything later, after we’re done hanging out with Zona,” he offered with a smile, not wanting to lose the chance of getting to know Howl out in the real world, instead of just in the guild headquarters. The snake appearing did surprise Lasair, however and he took a step back, just to be safe. “She’s pretty, but I’m also guessing venomous, hm?” he guessed, judging by the bright shade of green her scales were. Most bright snakes had killer venom to match them.

"Ya, come on Howl. Stay a bit! I don't bite, you know that." Zona said with a smile as the snake came slithering out and began to investigate her home. Zona laughed a bit at that, only to laugh a bit harder when Jay popped out of the window and landed next to the snake. He tilted his head some as he stared at the snake unsure as to what it was, and why it was here. "I would offer for you two ta come in but I don't have any food in there other than bread that's greener than yer snake. I don't think anyone wants to eat that." She added as she watched the cat tilt its head curiously back and forth. At some point Tilly popped up in the window and was watching Jay and the snake, keeping her distance but still there if something were to happen. "We can grab something to eat if ya guys want. My treat." Zona said as she took a step back away from Howl, crossing her arms over her cheat in the process.

"Are you sure? Well... ok thank you..." Howl said. Seraphina back away from the cats as it approached her, presumably afraid of them. They were way too big to eat so it's better not to attack. Howl went to go pick up Seraphina, "Ummm yes she is poisonous, enough to kill someone if left untreated. I think it's mostly a neurotoxin. But don't worry she is very nice, only ever bit a thief. That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Can you make an anti-toxin? Cause if she ever bit anyone... " Howl trailed off.

Lasair chuckled at Zona and Howl’s words. Green bread? To match a poisonous snake? Suddenly he felt like all the time he spent in books was just a little too much. “Snakes aren’t poisonous,” he clarified, walking over to Howl to get a closer look at his snake, Zona forgotten in the redhead’s mind now. “But she is most definitely venomous; there’s a difference. Poison you can puke out and probably survive. For venom, you probably won’t get so lucky. What happened when the thief was bit?”
He took a few steps around Howl, eyes glued to the snake as he spoke. It was temping to try and get closer, but until he knew more about the venom, it would be best to keep a distance. “And what kind of climate is she from? I want to guess rainforest.” Animals that live in the same habitat have a tendency to posses similar anatomy and in the case of the snake, similar venom. It was something to work with, at the very least.

Julian was walking around town seeing if there was anything new for him see, swiping a apple from a cart that was on the side of the road. As Julian continued to walk down the street, biting the apple in his hand, he saw people standing in front of what looked like a house, but it wasn't anymore. He looked at there faces and noticed that he knew two of them, it was Howl and Zona, but the other man he did not know, the man with orange hair. Maybe I should get colorful hair, every one else has it. As Julian continued to walk closer to the three of them he could not help to stare at the guys hair, its bight color was hard to look away from. Julian walked up to the group and behind the man with the colorful hair, he extended both of his hands and grabbed the mans hair. "Hey Zona, you think I could pull off a hairstyle like this?" Julian said sarcastically as he was touching the fiery hair on top of the guys head. "Or should I go with red, what is more my color?" Julian said with a smile as he patted the hair. "By the way my name is Julian" He said as he extended one of his hands to the stranger but kept the other hand on his head.

Zona continued to watch as the snake backed away from the cats. She smiled some as Jay tilted his head at the snake and laid down in front of it with his paws stretched out in front of him. Though his intentions weren't known to the snake all he really wanted to do was play and have fun, make a new friend. Turning back around some Zona began to listen as the two men talked, she knew she wasn't needed in this conversation right now, but at least she could be ready for if and when she could join back in.
Out of the corner of her eye Zona noticed another familiar face. She began to raise a hand to the boy but stopped dead in her tracks at what the boy did. She stood there for a moment with her mouth hanging open in awe as the boy played with Lasair's hair and asked if the color would suit him. "Pffhhht...." Zona laughed as Julian continued to mess with Lasair's hair. "Ha! I'm not sure how red would look on you." She said as she held her stomach some, it hurt from laughing. She looked over to Lasair than, waiting and integer to see how he would react to this. "Nice to see ya again Julian." She added with a smile.

All thoughts regarding venom and how to work with it were put to a halt as Lasair felt something enter his hair.
His first reaction was to turn around and slap the hands away, but he stopped himself. And he was glad he did because the stranger appeared to be a friend of Zona’s. Great, another kid to be wary around. Well, Lasair didn’t want to anger him either, but rather play it off and see if a friendship could be formed instead of something else.
Chuckling, Lasair turned around to face this stranger with a relaxed face. “Lasair Landevier Lupen, at your service,” Lasair greeted with a bow, causing the hands to be removed from his head as he did so. He took a half step back as he stood upright, looking over the kid curiously. “I think you could pull off the red, but given the limited availability of lasting hair dyes, it’d probably turn orange on your head. Your hair is much too thin to work my style however.” Lasair chuckled again, wondering if the others would be surprised by his opinion. Most people were; men weren’t expected to know much about hair.
“Do you usually greet people with a hair fluff?” Lasair asked next, reaching up to fix his hair back into place (although it had hardly been messed up).
"Well I found her in a city next to a rainforest. The guy I got her fro..." Howl started before being cut off by Julian storming in. Him again? Howl attempted to hide behind Zona. Even after the other day, he still didn't trust Julian. He felt bad for Lasair after being grabbed by Julain. "I-I think you should choose a... D-Different color..." Howl said. Unsure of what to say next, Howl waited to see what would happen.
(sorry for the late response, life has been hectic...)
