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
"Oh, just the disdain for how I messed up..." Amon replied with a sigh. "I wasn't exactly in the right state of mind; thankfully, Edel was able to figure out what was wrong and I'm all better now, but that doesn't excuse the fact that I didn't make the right choices."
"I know it may not mean much, but...sorry," he said, giving her small, sad smile.

"......." Almandine blinked. Had... Had he just pleaded guilty and claim insanity all in the same sentence? Well, that one was knew. And it was effective to call her attention at the very least.
"What was 'wrong' with you then?"

"Metal poisoning, of all things..." Amon answered flatly. "Lead, cadmium, and murcury according to Edel. It pretty much explains some of my mannarisims over the past few years, though my latest implant may be a more direct cause of my recent lack of sanity and judgement," he continued, moving his bangs to the side to better show his artificial eye.

"Mercury? Like the liquid metal thing that goes inside thermometers?"
Lead poisoning was easier for her to understand, a lot of common toys were crafted out of it, which made both unwitting children, their parents, and toymakers constantly exposed to it - besides it being present in other things like frame windows. She didn't know a lot about cadmium, so she didn't try to guess on that. But mercury? She knew it was also present in a preserving solution hats were immersed in during confection too, which made sense for why a lot of hatters out there seemed to have a couple loose screws. But Amon wasn't a hatter, as far as she knew of at least.
"How does one get that in--- did you EAT it?"

"...As embarrassing as it is...both times I had surgery for my prosthetics were done in places not quite as clean as they should have been..." Amon replied with a sheepish shrug. "The first one was at a family friend's workshop after my arm was injured beyond saving, so they thought it was best to just amputate and install a new arm in the same sitting. The second one was in my own warehouse after a Sveden assassin tried to kill me. I just wanted to get rid of my blindside as soon as possible," he explained.
"Not exactly the best decision in both occasions..."

"That's why human medicine is crap..." The girl muttered under her breath while shruddering slightly. Eesh. What was wrong with people to make them think sawing off pieces of a 'patient' was a good idea, she would never understand. In a way, despite not being as good as new, she was glad no one had tried to take her to a common hospital back when her leg got injured, lest she might be sans a limb as well if they accepted to take her in.
"Dunno about the blindside thing though. That makes others biased on where they hit you, so they become predictable." If there's one area that's constantly aimed for, that's where blocks should go. She shrugged. "And ever seen the amount of eyepatches around? It's like one in every 10 people on the street wear one; awkward fashion statement there."
"True, but it was something I wanted to do for a while..." Amon replied with a shrug. "Besides, having an extra eye came in handy when I got stabbed in my other eye last night."

"...Ew." It had happened twice? How, even? Did he wear a shirt with "give me eye damage" written on it or the likes? "Still bet you could do without the poisoning thing."
"You two are still in there?" Edelweiss called from the door, peeking into the bathroom while carrying a half-asleep Pearl. That had been quite a while for just washing someone's hands.
"Edeeeelll I can't get it off my ribbons!" Was whined in return, the girl frantically pointing at the brownish splotches on the pink stripes of fabric while at it, which in turn made the redhead snicker and shake her head in amusement. "There's coconut soap under the counter---" And there's Alma bending under the counter to find said soap. "...Have fun, I guess(?) I'll just take Pearl to the guestroom."

"...Huh?" She gave him a squinty-eyed 'what does that mean' look, since she wasn't injured nor sick - as far as she's aware if at the very least.
"Y'w're pretty out o'it..." Pearl sleepy-grumbled, her head peeking over the redhead's shoulder while being carried away. "I'm pretty all the time, thank you very little." She grumbled back in response, though if the pun was intentional or she really didn't get what the other girl meant was rather hard to tell. Probably intentional. Either way she didn't seem to be expecting any further replies from her.
She turned her attention back to the mechanic. "Yeah yeah, still gotta take this blood off my stuff though." And then rebraid and redo all that hair - meaning she'd be hogging the bathroom sink for a while still. "You can go back to- uh, whatever is it you were doing before I got here? And I won't drop dead down the drain while at it."

"...Alright then..." Amon said with a slight shrug. "Just holler if you need any assistance," he said as he walked out of the bathroom and rejoined Edel.
"...And how is she...?" he asked quietly, nodding towards Pearl.

Edelweiss was in the guestroom by then, finishing tucking a 99% already asleep Pearl under the covers like the girl was some sort of white-haired burrito, so her tone as she replied was almost as low as a whisper.
"The same as Alma, I guess. It's different for everyone the first time, but Pearl has a more... I guess 'common' reaction to it. Alma is a bit like I was in that aspect." She shrugged slightly, referring to being attacked and killing the attacker in turn. Of all the people present, the redhead figured Amon could understand that better than anyone."And you, are you alright?"

"Eh...I'm good," Amon replied with a shrug. "Alma and I came to some form of understanding at least..."

"That's good to hear." Truth spoken. "I know she can be a bit... hard to talk to at times, but I didn't want to let her be alone all dazed like that (and she seemed more 'awake' when I passed by the bathroom). Thanks."

"No prob," Amon replied, giving her a quick peck on her cheek before turning back to his work.
