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

Zona stood just at the edge of the forest and looked around at the trees that were beginning to surround her. She began to slowly walk closer to the forest still looking at all the different trees that she was now walking past. Zona had been in this forest a few times before but always on the outer tree levels, never going further in, but today she wanted to try something different and she needed more trees to do it.
Once Zona was in the forest, far enough in that she had trees surrounding her on all sides but still close enough to see the clearing, she began to set up makeshift targets on all the trees around her. After all the targets, about 18 of them, were set up, Zona walked into the center of all of them, so she had trees with targets surrounding her, 360 Degrees around, she then pulled a wooden bow from off her shoulder. With a bundle of arrows on her back she began to shot all the targets (Bows I). Arrows began to fly from her bow left and right, fast quick little brown blurs going every which way.
Zona should have started out easier by going from the left or right and continuing all the way around, but she hated to play that way, so to make it harder for her, she was trying to hit the targets in front of her then she would flipped around to try to hit the targets behind her, and then to the left, or to the right, every which way. "dung!" Zona cursed, only about 50% of the arrows hit her targets. Half were a dead center bull's-eye, while the others were somewhere in the tree, nowhere near the target. "What the Hell was I doing wrong?"

Clancy was bored so he decided to take a stroll in the forest. Also, he thought that he might find some wood to use for his guns in this forest as well; his supply was getting a little short. He had lost track of how far in he was when suddenly an arrow burst through the brush and smacked right into the tree in front of him, causing him to squeak. Someone must have thought he was a deer or something... Did they not see his pink hair though?? Unless deer started sprouting fluorescent colors, he doubted he look like any wild life target.
After yanking the arrow out of the tree he went to go see who his attacker was. "Hey I think ya lost this- Oh hi Zonal!!" he chirped excitedly when he recognized the bow master. "Watcha doin' all tha way out 'ere??" Glancing around he noticed the targets "Practice maybe??"

As Zona began to go retrieve all her arrows she heard a rustling from behind. Quickly she drew an arrow from its holder and set up for a shot, pulling the arrow back ready to let go at a moments notice. Suddenly a familiar voice came from the direction of the rustling and soon after the pink haired boy came into her view. "Oh, it's just you." Zona said as she loosened up, now not quite as tense as she was before. "Sorry. I thought you were someone... orsome thing else." She smirked slightly as she lowered her bow, so it was no longer facing him directly in the middle of his head. She then put the arrow back and gladly accepted the other one from the pink haired boy, less walking for her she thought. "Thanks, and to answer your question I suppose I was practicing... But I'm not doing well, and I have no idea why!" She said as she began to pace wondering what it was that was making her miss half the time and hit a dead ringer the next.

Clancy froze when he noticed the arrow pointed at his head. A nervous laugh escaped his lips as he looked around "What ya talkin' 'bout. Most of 'em have bulls eyes! That seems pretty good ta me!" he said, back to his usual confident, chipper self.

"That's the thing..." Zona said as she turned around and rubbed the back of her neck. "I either hit the bulls-eye no problem, dead RINGER!!!! or I miss the target completely... I don't understand why, or what I'm doing wrong." She looked down at the bow in her hand, know where it came from made it special to her, but she began to wonder if her half the time accuracy was because of the bow. "Maybe its because of this... maybe I should save up for a better one." She said as looked closer at the bow, noticing all the small grain markings, the little cracks here and there, the old weathered bow string... but she loved the look of it, and how smooth the wood was. Even though it maybe old, when she held it up to shoot it felt natural, and smooth, like it was apart of her.

Clancy walked closer to look at the bow. "Well if ya wanted a gun I could make ya one in a snap but bows I can't help ya with. Sorry. I've been tryin' ta make bows but just ain't got tha hang of it ((does not have bowyer I yet)). If I ever successfully make one, I promise I will let ya try it out." Turning he went to get some more of the stray arrows for her "Watcha tryin' bow hunting' fer anywho? Ya gonna join the ERIAL's? I always liked the ERIALs. They seem to be doin' a good job at keepin' the peace! And they look quite spiffing in their uniforms. Where ya here fer tha 300th jubilee? They were in the parade. All marching in sequence and business like that. Or are ya going to be a hunter? I could never be a hunter; always bumbling about and tripping' over ma own feet." he collected the arrows as he continued his endless babble about the ERIALs and hunting.

Zona began to pick up some of her stray arrows as well, and quietly listened. Hearing all this talk about the ERIALs and how great they were made Zona a little sick, she never saw them that way, and she didn't exactly have the greatest experiences with them. But even though she hated them didn't mean the pink haired boy needed to know, so she continued to quietly listen. "No. No... I'm not doing this to join the ERIALs, I do something else... But I guess you could say I'm doing this to hunt." She said smirking as she picked up the last arrow, never said what... or who she would be hunting.

Iacomus leaned against a tree underneath the shadow cast by its branches, the brim of his hat brought over his eyes so you couldn't see his face, which looked sly as always. He twirled a scalpel between his fingers as he watched the two before him. It would be somewhat... awkward... if he were to come out of the shadows and say something to them, as he, a more urban-centered man, had no good excuse he could make up for as to why he was there, so he decided to simply watch and listen with a smirk on his face.
"Ooo so yer a hunter! That's amazin'!!" he had about six arrows in his arms when he went back to the middle of the circle to drop them for her. Picking one up again, he held it in his hand, pointing it at a tree and closing one eye, holding it like it was a rifle. "Hey, Hey! If ya ever catch a pheasant or turkey ya should bring it over to Iaco's house and I'll cook it up fer ya! Iaco has a kitchen ya see and he said I could use it. He's so nice, ain't he? Since we'd be usin' his kitchen ya should share some of ya catch with him. Mmm I can make an amazin' Pheasant and Cabbage Chowder, if I do say so myself" he sighed happily, hugging the arrow to his chest.
A worried look suddenly came over his face "Hey, promise ya won't go shootin' bunniers or puppies, 'kay? I guess an occasional bunny would be okay but they're just so cute, I could never live with myself if I had ta cook ya rabbit stew everyday. All those poor bunnies.." he sniffed, setting the arrow back down. Popping back up, his usual smile returned "A nice Venison chop with black berry sauce might taste good! Oh! And we could have apple or pear pie for dessert. I'm hungry just thinkin' about it!"

"Ya we will have to do that sometime." Zona said beginning to pick up the arrows he drop on the ground. She realized she would now needed to actually go out and hunt... at least it would give her a bit more practice. "I didn't know you could cook! Where did you learn how to, or is it just natural talent?" She said as she picked up the last arrow and put it way getting ready to shoot all the targets again.

"My mum taught me! She is the 'ead chief at 'er restaurant back home. Originally, mum planned to teach ma sis but Nel can't even boil water!" With a short laugh he went on with a nostalgic smile, his eyes clouded with the past. "So mum decided to try with me. 'pparently 'er cookin' skills were passed on down to me. She even said I was ah better cook than her! I was suppose ta be in charge of tha restaurant by now.." his voice faded off as his smile turned sad. Shaking his head, he stepped back some to watch her practice, his normal smile back in a flash as if nothing happened- though his eyes still looked wounded. "So ya better get ta be ah good hunter and get lotsa critters if ya ever want ta try ma famous cookin'! Ain't no one better in these parts!" he bragged with a playful chuckle.

All Zona did was listen quietly, she was never good with words and in a time like this she would just make thing worse. She could tell that talking about this made him a bit sad so she just continued to listen as she started to shoot a few arrows. Think of something to change the subject she said when he was done, "What were you doing out here? I ment to ask you earlier but I forgot when I went on my arrow rant." She pulled the arrow back on the string of the bow aimed and fired, missing the target and hitting the tree above it. "drat it..." She quietly cursed.

Clancy followed the arrow with his eyes. An impressed look crossed his face "Well ya hit the tree, that's gotta be worth something! I was just out here lookin' for some relaxation time and possibly some wood for my guns. I ain't got nuthin' ta chop a tree down with so I guess that won't be what i'm doin' fer today." Originally he had planned to see if Iaco was in but he was no were in his shop- yeas, he broke in but hopefully Iaco wouldn't mind. He hadn't messed anything up, just picked the lock on his door. He hade sure to lock the place back up before he left. Amon was in but Clancy suspected that Amon viewed him more as an annoyance than a friend. Viktor had been gone for a long time so no hope there either. So I was just him by his lonely self. Thankfully he had bumped into Zona so today might not be all that bad.

"Well I don't think you could really chop down a tree with nothing but you hands... I think they would break before you would make a dent in a tree." Zona said as she thought how hard that would be... and how much it would hurt. "As for relaxing out here I'm not to sure that would work, there are tons of creatures around here, they could kill-" Zona was cut of by a rustling in a bush a few feet away, unsure of what it was she quickly readied her bow and angled it at the bush.

Clancy grimaced at the painful thought. He was about to respond when he heard the slight noise behind him. His eyes widened when he saw Ariel take aim "Oi! What if it's just ah bunny! Or maybe some kid tryin' ta play a trick! Don' be so quick ta shoot!" he whispered frantically, placing a hand lightly on her arm.
((is it Iaco? o.o or another rabid kitten?))
