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
"...Good to know..." Amon replied sheepishly, his cheeks tinting a little as he got up and opened his suitcase.
After rummaging around for a little bit, he took out a small bag before sitting back down on the bed, taking off his shirt, and removing from the bag some tools and what looked to be an odd disk-like object (sorta like a drainage plug).
"...Also...what you said earlier about Sienna and the Twins being kids..." he said as he started to remove his arm. "They're more akin to siblings in my opinion, with Sienna being the 'baby sister' and the Twins being the 'siblings I never knew I never wanted,' but I see your point," he continued as he successfully removed his artificial arm.
"Getting better at this..." Amon mused as he put the arm to the side and reached for the disk/plug. Putting the raised end into the shoulder socket, he made a motion as if to roll his arm back, causing the mechanism to catch and close into his shoulder, creating a seal. To finalize the look, he grabbed what looked to be an odd pouch and, stretching the elastic opening, covered up the metal plating on his right side.
"Ready when you are..." he said as he finished getting prepared.

"I don't really disagree with that." She replied with a snicker to the statement that Sienna and the twins were more like little siblings. She didn't really think of them as her babies or anything of the sort, just had meant that she and Amon babysat them in a way independing of their actual age ...And actually, how old were Abe and Abby, even? The redhead had no idea.
"Did you check if Abby put a towel on your luggage, or should I get one for you?" Comment made as she left the closet carrying a set of clothes for herself to change into afterwards as well as a long thick robe (that is also hers, actual towels were already kept in the bathroom in case of need) and headed to the door.

"Yup, I got one," Amon replied as he grabbed his towel and followed Edel into the bathroom.

Admittedly, it was the most relaxed Amon had felt in ages. The warm water, the cuddles with Edel, actually having help with his back and hair, it was nice.
So nice, in fact, that once they changed the sheets, Amon couldn't help but take another nap (it's been a while since he's got the chance to sleep this much, cut the man some slack...plus the bed is really comfy).
Needless to say, when he woke up a few hours later, he felt extremely refreshed.
"...Guess the fever's gone..." he noted, his feeling cleared and forehead feeling cool.
"Hey Edel...?" he called out as he got out of bed and walked out of the room.

A soft, slow melody weaved from the living room as the bedroom's door was opened, and would be the first thing to delate where Edelweiss was - sitting at the piano stool and passing her time with practicing something relatively quiet while the mechanic was resting.
With the sounds tuned to the keys somewhat blanketing his footsteps away, the redhead took a few seconds to notice him stepping away from the room and turning on her seat to face him. "...Sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Hm? Oh, no, I just woke up on my own..." Amon replied as he approach Edel, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I've felt this refreshed in ages..."
"Very soothing..." he noted at her playing.

"Ah, good morning again then... or good afternoon now, I guess." She replied with a soft little snicker that turned into a light smile at the forehead kiss.
"Thanks... want to sit down too?" The stool wasn't exactly couch-lenght big, but she could make some space for him to sit along her if he just wants to listen (or try playing too).

"Hmmm...not at the moment..." Amon replied after taking a second to ponder. "I've kinda been laying around all day...might be better for me to stand for a bit..."
"...Speaking of refreshed...how about you...?" he asked as he moved to a lean-able spot on the piano. "Thinking about it more clearly, you've been running ragged for quite some time..."
"Physically, mentally, emotionally...quite the trifecta of pain..." he added.

"You grow used to it after a while--" She started with a shrug, but ended up interrupting the sentence midway to let out a subtle pained wince. Moving her shoulders suddenly like that had not been a good idea.
"Mentally, I'm a bit tired but I'll be fine after some rest (and it's the first time in a while I feel 100% honest saying that), and emotionally I feel way better than I'd been in months..." More than anything, she was just glad to have her rainy day back, and know that he was still there (in both the literal and the metaphorical meanings). "Physically though... have to admit my back is still killing me." While she was pretty sure nothing on/relating to her spine was actually broken since she could actually still move, and nothing was bruised either since she'd seen no abbrasions or marks during shower nor while getting dressed, carrying that much weight for that long did strain her quite a bit. She could recall getting back pains for hours following the couple times she'd had to carry Stephen to his own home, and Amon was definitely heavier than her cat-like secretary is.
Amon winced a little at Edel's plight. "Sorry about that..." he said with a small, apologetic smile. On one hand, he was happy she's feeling better; on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel guilty about being the source of a solid amount of Edel's pains.
He pondered for a moment.
"You know...I can think of one thing that might help you relax~" he said while moving towards Edel with a sly expression on his face. "Something we haven't done in a while~"

"......."
Edelweiss blinked for only one second before she realized what he was talking about and she turned to look more directly at him (while doing her ultmost best to move her spine the littlest bit affordable). "Amon, I'm not sure if I really have energy for that right now..."

"Oh come now honey bunny, you'll enjoy it~" Amon said, gently taking her hand.
"Since you can't really move and I've been in your room all day, why not do it here? Don't worry, I'll make sure you're comfortable; I'll be doing all the work after all~"

"What, here? In the living room??" She repeated, mild disbelief coating her voice as he was already taking her hand to guide her away.
"Wha--? Whe-- Wait..." And apparently she could falter and splutter to no end and they'd still be doing it anyway, huh? What a way to start the afternoon, she couldn't help but snicker awkwardly at the thought.

"There we go~" Amon said as Edel's back popped. "How was that?" he asked as he moved his hands to a different part of her back. "Been a while since I gave you a back massage..."
"Comfy?" he also inquired. He sorta just grabbed some pillows and towels to help make her as comfortable as possible during this endeavour.
