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
I'm being dragged along on two-week long trip to visit family. Although I am not at all thrilled, I have no say in the matter, meaning that I will probably be scarce for the next two weeks or so. We're leaving tomorrow, meaning I might get a chance to reply in the morning, but I highly doubt it. I'm hoping I'll have a chance to get online somehow to reply, but in the case that I don't, I'll be gone for awhile. You guys get rid of me for awhile haha.

Just a heads up, I may be gone (Starting tomorrow) For about 5 or 6 days. I will hopefully be back next weekend or even Friday, but that is not for sure. I will try to reply when I can but cant guarantee anything. Sorry, Be back soon!

I will be gone far at least 8 days at the start of August. If you really need a post from me (like the Prelims) just Skype me and I'll try my best to answer.
"Alright, put it over there. Don't worry, the bots got it," Amon directed. The final shipment of parts had finally arrived and he was directing where certain crates were to be placed. Though there were a few people around, specifically the ones that were delivering the shipments, it was Amon's steambots that did all the work. A lot of things happened since the last year, but he still found time to develop and build a dozen steambots; each one was a solid eight feet tall, their wide shoulders and hulking mass could give several strong men a run for their money. Unfortunately, they weren't exactly the brightest machines, only able to carry out simple commands, but it was a fair trade-off for their immense strength. Amon helped to oversee the men unloading and delivering the crates while the Twins directed where the machines were to go; a sense of synergy that well, worked like clockwork.
As the last of the trucks left, made Amon made his way inside his warehouse; the 3 story, 10,000 square foot building was more than perfect for what he wanted to build. As Abe continued giving instructions to the steambots, Abby approached Amon.
"Everything has been accounted for. Project: Icarus, Project: Chariot, and starting work on Project: Strength are cleared to go," she reported.
"Excellent," Amon replied, making a few notes.
"Though with the recent increase in military movement, EIRAL has issued an increase in the number of orders," she continued.
Amon sighed, slumping his shoulders a little. He had nearly forgotten: in addition to his projects, he now needed to work on High-Comander Pain-in-the-rear's orders. Sorry Edel...this might end up taking longer than expected.
[On the plus side, Project: Seed is well underway and research into Project: Null looks promising] she clicked.
That brought a evil smile to his face. "That fool," Amon thought gleefully, imagining the look Alistair's face if he was ever given a chance to go through with his plan.
"Unpacking has begun, the steambots designated for security have been given their patrol orders for tonight, and the security system is ready to go," reported Abe.
"Alright then," he said, making a final series of notes and directing the steambots to close the doors. "Let us begin."
And with that, the doors to the warehouse closed with a resounding bang.
(OOC): And with that, I shall be going AFK. Wanted to do something a little different outside of simply saying "afk, brb" so here's a nice little reasoning behind Amon's upcoming absence.
My AFK will start August 16th. Until then, I'll be tying up a few loose ends and making sure Mingo's is good to go on the off chance someone actually wants to join the engineers and merchants while I am gone. I should be back sometime after September 18th. If I'm lucky, I'll lurk on here and on the skype chat every so often, but no posts until after I get back. If you need to notify me of something, whether serious, an idea, funny, whatever, please PM me here, and I will get back to you when I return (or if I have the time to respond).

Hello all. I'm going to be sparely here over the next week or so. I'll try to log on at nights and stuff, but with my move onto campus, i'm not sure when or how often I'll be here. Replies will come when i can write them tho \()/
A slight screeching sound pierced the silence of the night, followed by a small bang of a closing door. If one were to investigate the sound, they would see three figures making their way from a large warehouse to the heart of the Merchant's District.
"Probably not the brightest idea to be walking around at this time of night," mentioned one.
"Whatever...it's not like we're doing anything wrong," mentioned another.
"Agreed," the third figure yawned. "Besides, it's not like we won't know if anyone is around," he continued, motioning to the passing rooftops, were numerous clockwork birds were perched at strategic positions. It took lots of trial and error to build them to properly withstand the weather, and even then they still required near constant maintenance to keep them working, but they were the best way to keep an eye on the district.
"Well, here we are," said Amon as he approached his shop. "Home sweet home."
Guess who's back~
Sort of. Good news: I'm back and more confident in posting. Bad news: I will still be a bit spotty for the next few weeks as I get settled in to a new place and in-process at my new job. But otherwise, consider me back (again, with slightly delayed posting times...I will be back to a more active status officially by October at the latest).

I may not be on as much here in the next few weeks. Things are getting touchy and I need all systems go for IRL. I'll reply when I can and promise to at least read up on everything when I have some spare time.

have fun on the vaca Zona, sorry to hear you're not feelin it Alice (hope the feels come back eventually ) and take your time Elaine, IRL deserves your attention too!
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
I thought I was getting better and I got even more sick today. I really don't have the energy right now. I will try to heal soon and get right back to posting!

I will be scarce on 10/18/15 through 10/19/2015. I am going to be out of town all of the 18th and then I will have a full day of work combined with classes on the 19th. Apologies. This includes characters: Tyrell, Kalum, Lorraine, Viktor, and on the off chance, Addison.
Hey guys so I have been freaking out over time recently, with an art course that's teaching me and aiming to build up a portfolio, going back to school to finish my grade 12 with the classes there, and the few commissions I have left over from a while ago, and everything else like money/travel/doctor's/dentist/government bleh and just trying to adult (which I apparently am extremely bad at) I have been avoiding here. I'm really sorry to everyone who I was in a thread with, I really did want to get active on here again, but right now it's just not possible for me. I'll miss you guys, but I'll be away indefinitely until I can figure out how to be a functioning human being.
