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

Iacomus walked out of the bush gracefully, with a grin on his face. "I do agree with Clancy here, Zona, shooting would not be preferable." He laughed a little, somewhat shakily. He was still holding his scalpel, and the blood from the tip of it dripped slowly on to his fingers as he held it. He leaned back on the tree he was next to, crossing his legs and tipping the hat over his eyes.

"What the-" Zona said as she stopped herself from letting her arrow fly, "What the Hell were you doing back there?!?! And why do you have a bloody scalpel, I thought you collected human and Ander organs, not animal ones..." She said as she put the arrow back and slung the bow over her shoulder, she was getting a little tired of the target, and missing half the time, plus she would rather find out why Iacomus was here anyway.

Iacomus laughed brashly "A client of sorts needed the heart of a quail, so I thought I would try and get one myself because I don't have any contacts that could get me one." He knew that was a lie, but they didn't need to know that. He actually feared them finding out his methods. If they did, they may not like his company. That was besides the point at this point, however. "So are arrows your choice of weapon, then?" Iacomus asked, curious for Zona to tell him more.

"A Quail huh..." Zona said with a hit of question to her voice, doubting that's the true reason he's out here, "Ok... It what your customer wants." Zona didn't want to get into it at the moment so she let it go and began to answer his question. "I suppose you could say this is my weapon of choice, but I've just recently started using this... So I'm not entirely sure of how to use it, or should I say if I'm using it right." She looked at all the targets then back down at her bow, wondering why she was using it and practicing so much. "That may be why I'm not the greatest shot with it yet, why I only hit the target 50% of the time." Zona said as she looked around at all the bushes and surrounding trees, thinking it was good that Iaco came out of the bush rather than something else.

Clancy lit up when he saw Iaco. "Iaco! Yer a sight for sore eyes!" he chirped, a big grin on his face. Clancy listened to the two chatter, a pleasant smile on his face all the while. "Wait... Yer tellin' me, that ya don't even know how ta use tha thing... and yer already hittin' 50% of tha targets?! Yer amazin' Zona! I can't believe ya! Iaco, Iaco! ya shoulda seen her shoot 'em arrows! And she think's she's not all that! Don't be so modest Zona, gloat a little!" Teasingly, he bumped her arm lightly with his elbow.

Iacomus raised his eyebrows and smiled as he raised his hand and rested it on his cheek, getting blood there too. "Oh! Do show me, Zona! I'd love to see you in action!"
"Sorry but I'll have to disagree with you Clancy, i don't see a need to gloat if its not perfect." Zona said getting a bit anger, not at Clancy or Iaco, but at herself. In her growing anger she whipped out her bow and started shooting, "Maybe I'm one of those people that do better when their mad." she thought to herself, but she was wrong, still hitting only 50% of the targets, in fact when she missed these shots the arrows when flying, not hitting the tree she wanted it to but instead hitting the trees behind it. "AHHHH!" Zona cried out in anger, "Why do i keep missing?!?!" She said as she tossed her arms up in the air, and throw them behind her head as she walk off to retrieve her arrows.

"I bet you'll get better with practice" he called out after her encouragingly. Hopping after her, he helped pick up the farthest arrows, bringing a bundle back in his hand. Glancing up at his scalpel wielding friend as he set the arrows down, he noticed the blood on his hands and face. Turning he walked over to Iaco, reaching in his pocket for something. "Ya got a lil somethin' on yer face, silly" he said with a smile, reaching up and wiping the smudge of blood off. Okay, Iaco could most likely get it himself but, Clancy just wanted an excuse to get close to him.

Iacomus watched as Zona took her shots. "Clancy is right. For someone who has just recently picked up the bow and arrow, that is phenomenal!" He continued to watch as Zona picked up her arrows, until he glanced to his side in surprise as Clancy wiped the blood off of his cheek. With a pleasant smile he responded "Why, thank you, Clancy."
Zona finished getting her arrows and turned around to see Clancy wiping Iacos face off. "God you two are such girls..." Zona said jokingly, she never acted like that though but still, a little blood n the face never hurt anyone. She knew something was up between the two of them and she understood what it was, interested to see how that would work out for them. she wanted to say something to them but she wasn't sure if she should or not, just then her train of thought was interrupted. Once again a sound came from the bushes, but this time it wasn't just rustling of the bust but a nasty snarl came from it as well. Immediately upon hearing the noise she jumped back, directly in front of her friends, and pull out an arrow and strung it to the bow.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me!

Clancy beamed at Iaco "Not ah problem! was ma pleasure!" At the girl's comment he turned his heas and stuck his tongue out at her "Not much of ah insult comin' from ah Tomboy like you!" he shot back with a playful smirk, but he dropped his hand back down to his side anyways. The sudden noise made Clancy frown nervously, turning his wide eyes in the direction of the noise only to be blocked by Zona's back. Peeking around her his eyes glued to the bush "... Maybe it's ah hungry bunny?"

Iacomus turned suddenly at the sound, and as Zona lept in front of them, he reached under his tail coat and grasped the handle of his sword. Despite what Clancy had said, he didn't think it was a "hungry bunny."
Suddenly a voice came with the snarl, it was a deep, strong, and raspy voice, "Foolish, and worthless creature, how dare you to even think you could kill me!" From the bush emerged a large beast, nearly twice the height of Zona, and much, much larger. "How dare you come into my domain, put your red markings everywhere, and shoot those long sharp, pointed sticks at my trees!" The creature snarled.
This mighty beast was Death's Dog, with glowing green eyes with blood red pupils, this was one creature you did not want to mess with. Death's Dog is a stubborn creature who must always have it way, and if not he will kill for it, or die trying. It can block any and all melee attacks be it weapon or hands, that is due to its speed, but the only thing fast enough to hit this creature is a range weapon, such as a bow or gun, but one shot will never be enough to take him down, depending on the age of the creature the older it gets the more shots are needed to kill it. He fights using his strength, speed, night vision, surroundings, and claws and teeth. The age of the creature can be deturmained by how it talks and fights you, if it is and inteleget conversation, and the creature studies you moves, it is a wise old timing creature, if it cant hold a converstion, or goes charging head first into battle it is a much younger and less experienced one. Your best hope for survival is against the younger one, but if you face and older one, say hello to Death's Dog...
"I am through with you weak humans and Anderswelters, always doing as you wish and not caring what the consequences are." The beast shouted though its bloody and dripping teeth, "Please, dear creature, we do not wish to harm you." Zona said as she lowered her bow, trying to show she was non-threating, "I am sorry for the pain I have caused you, I did not mean for this to happen." "Of course you didn't!!" The beast said angrily, "You Anders think your better than the humans and they think they are better than the Anders, well your both wrong!!" Zona was thrown off when the beast said she was an Ander, and she hoped that her friends behind her didn't hear that part, she didn't need them to know this about her. "Both the humans and the Anders think the same way, but you both are to stubborn to see and admit that!" The beast said as he stared at Zona looking deep into her soul, "All you both have done is cause nothing but war and death. You kill the beautiful forest to make metal death traps, that grow larger and consumes more, it consumes more of the sky and the forest, and kill all who lived there." The beast stood up on its hind legs, to look almost like a man, but with the face, and furry body of a sickly dog. still staring Zona directly in the eyes the beast continued, "But I am done with that now! I am done with you humans and Anders taking my forest. done with you killing my children, done with you coming into my domain and doing whatever you wish. I... Am... DONE!!!"

Iacomus brandished his sword, knowing not what this creature was or what it could do. Not that he planned on actually attacking, of course. He saw the massive size and quick movements of the monster, and figured that his skills when it came to combat would not be helpful. As he listened to the conversation of sorts it seemed to be having with Zona, he picked something out. Did he call her an ander? ... Maybe he was mistaken... Myabe Iacomus heard it wrong... "Zona, are you an ander?" Iacomus asked. He knew now wasn't the time, but he wanted to know either way...
Not a bunny. A huge dog thing. Clancy was a dog lover at heart but this creature put the fear of God in him. Clancy frowned sadly at the beast as he listed to it yell at them. The poor creature. All it wanted to do was live happily in this forest but the city- he was guessing that is what it meant by metal death traps- kept growing and taking it away. Personally he wanted to give the creature a nice big hug but that did not seem like the best idea. The beast looked ready to kill and Clancy very much enjoyed living so he wanted to leave.
"I hate ta bother ya but is now really the time to be asking such questions" Clancy whispered quietly to Iaco, his eyes fixed on the massive creature in front of them. Yes he heard the Ander bit but it was best to focus on the current situation than on other distracters. If she was an Ander they would find that out later. What could he do, what could he do. He forgot to bring on of his guns with him today so he would have to make a quick, simple one. Reaching into his pockets he pulled out some random raw materials he had. At least he had all the parts needed. Working quickly he managed to put together a matchlock pistol in a matter of seconds (Gun Smithing I used). It was okay at best no doubt it would break after 3 shots but he had no better options at the moment. "Iaco, here. It won't last long but at least it's something" he offered the weapon to his friend discreetly. A single sword did not look like enough protection from this beast.
