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

Maeve knew exactly who she was, even before she greeted them... that was -the- boss. THE boss of CAEsAL. Not just the boss of the stage, of the pub, no. Bigger 'n that. And Zona walked right up to her. Maeve followed, trying to match her stride for stride without feeling weird about it.
But then Edel treated them like peers and she felt like she was in a new universe. She smiled, a strange expression (for Maeve) and nodded along. "Mostly work fer me too," she assimilated. And it was true. She hadn't been out much, just collecting her wages and stock piling them for certain skills purchases.
Should they saddle up a few seats next to her? frak it.

Zona shrugged a bit, "Ehh, same old, same old. Nothin' to new or excitin' for me." Zona said as she leaned over on one of the chairs, noticing how Maeve had taken a seat she decided she would do the same, only after she got some drinks. "You guys want somethin'? My treat." She said with a bit of a smile, after all she did just get paid today so she had some money to spare.

A drink on Zona? That was generous and a nice offer that she'd accept, though the redhead wasn't feeling mean enough to explore it asking for something expensive like Absinthe or a Blue Lagoon shot. She wasn't in the mood foor wine either, and while she could tolerate beer it just wasn't something she actually liked...
Well then. "Hmmm... A long island iced tea for me, thanks." She could remember having one of those (actually 4 of those) once with Maeve (or in her presence at least) in one of the places the Feline worked at a short while before Edelweiss officially had her hired as a singer-bouncer and got her to officially join CAEsAL. Nice on the tongue and on the nostalgia while she waited to see what she and Zona would choose for themselves.

Well if she was offering!!
"Gin, dry, no ice." Maeve put in, and smiled a second time. Two smiles within five minutes of each other... and she wasn't even tossed yet???
This WAS a new kinda universe after all, wasn't it?? Bein' as they were acting all friendly and such, she turned to the boss lady.
"Been hunting for fresh talent lately since ya' nabbed me?" She hadn't seen many others outside of her own act, and hadn't worked a double act in a while. Not since Ikuze come to think of it... and after a string of absences on stage, Maeve came to find out that the girl wasn't even on the CAEsAL Payroll. She wasn' under contract, just a freelancer booking day to day when was convenient or something other.

"If I happen to spot one, that's always nice." Edelweiss replied with a short chuckle to Maeve's question of if she's hunting for new talents. "But not particularly. We did have some more newcomers in the guild since you joined, but today I'm just here for a break after a draining day - I assume that's the same for you two?"
All in all, it was nice just chatting lightly with Maeve, like normal people do. She had not done that since... wow, when was the last time the two of them had a chat? The redhead couldn't even remember exactly. "It seems like ages since we even had a normal talk. When was the last time?"

"Alright then." Zona said as she took a mental note of what they each wanted, "I'll be back then." She said as she then turned around and made her way to the bar, giving the two a chance to catch up without her. Once she was up there and had flagged down the bartender she rambled off the orders, a long island ice tea, a dry gin, no ice, and whatever they had on tap. Nothing too hard, though since she was getting three it did take a bit longer than expected. The bartender seemed to be taking his time as he made each of the drinks, setting them down one at a time in front of Zona before asking for payment. Zona dug though her bag and pulled out what the man asked for before she made her way back to the table with the three drinks in hand.

"I dunno to be honest... not sure we e'er did just chat a'fore...." She looked down at the bar, unseeing as she thought back... and drew a blank. There was that one time, at the clock tower, she was telling boogy stories of a man being hung there or some such back during the war or somethin' other, but that was some kind of tour, catacombs style entertainment perhaps. She was a little light on the particulars since she popped in a little late to the tour.
"Nice though, I think, now that we have the chance." She looked back up again and gave a smile. Zona returned thereafter carefully balancing the three drinks. Maeve unburdened her of one of them and took a quick sip. It was good, nice and dehydrated, the way she liked it.

Edelweiss found herself mentally concurring with Maeve. It was refreshing to finally have taken some time to sit down and have a light, casual talk along some nice refreshments or drinks, as work colleagues and friends ought to do once in a while, even if them meeting over at that place wasn't something they had actually planned. Or perhaps the fact their meeting now was a coincidence was part of what made it feel so relaxing? Hard to know for sure, but in the end it didn't really matter.
"I guess that's so... Then I'm glad we can fix that slip now, indeed." She agreed with a smile.
Zona soon returned with their requested beverages, which the redhead thanked her for before accepting the glass and taking a sip. Ah, nice and chill... fitting for the mood. "So, what are you two usually up to in your free time?"

Once Zona was back and the drinks were handed out to their rightful owners Zona took a seat, setting her own drink down in the process. She leaned back in the chair and just enjoyed the sounds coming from all around her. She forgot how nice it was to literally just sit back and listen. Though her attention was soon brought back when Edel asked about what the two of them did in there free time. Zona just shrugged a bit. "Ehh, nothing much really. Just work when I can, go see my brother, or try and figure out where a cat ran off too. Nothing to exciting." She said with another shrug. She would have added that she pickpockets from time to time, but seeing as how people don't really like that... Best to stay away from that subject at the moment. She then turned to Maeve some to hear what she had to say.

"Does e'erbody in this guild have a cat 'cept me?" Maeve couldn't help but blurt out. It seemed unlikely that they all would, but each guild mate she met seemed to have at least one. She looked at their boss lady with a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny, almost like she was trying to read the others mind or something. She gave up guessing and just up and asked. "How bout you boss-lady? You got a feline at home too?"
Post by Edelweiss Fjäril on Jan 26, 2017 1:28:46 GMT
"Sounds like that, Mae." The redhead snickered at Maeve's question of if everyone in the guild had a cat except her. Then again, she didn't strictly need a cat since she already was one.
"And yes, I have one. Her name is Stephannie - because she's just as fluffy and extremely grumpy as someone else we know."

"Bloody hell----how is that even.... the odds are just...." she muted her own grumbling with a swig of her drink. She'd be damned if she ever got suckered into adopting one of those little flea beasts. Never. Nope. Not in a zillion lifetimes. Not her. No.
