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

Zonas strength was nearly gone, causing her to stumble back and forth. "Well..." Zona thought to herself, "at least I bit the bullet rather than Iacomus or Clancy... Still hurts like hell though, but I'm glad it was me over them. I doubt Iacomus could have taken this, and with how bad Clancy was... well..." Zona was trying to keep her mind off the pain, trying to keep going, to just keep walking, she need to get to Iacomus's house. If she stayed out her longer than she needed to be and in the condition she was in, someone would surly end her.
She continued to walk in the direction of Iacomus's house, she had only been there once and remembered the general spot of it. Once she got down the street she had no idea which house was his, they all looked the same right now, and since she could only use one eye they really looked the same. "dung" Zona said out loud as she looked back and forth at all the houses, she continued to walk and looked in the windows of the lighted houses, "No. No. NO! Where the Hell is it?!" She thought to herself. Finally she found it! the small house/shop with a paper sign above the door reading 'Organ Shop' "Finally!!" She used the last of her strength to stand tall, knock on the door, and begin to pretend as though nothing really happened, even though she was covered in blood and dirt, with new burses, scrapes, and wounds.

"Nah, I'll be fine since yer takin' care of me" he responded with a small smile. "All I need is a few days of rest and i'll be as good as new!" He added with a chipper smile. "I do hope she arrives soon...." Just a he said that a knock came from the door. Instinctively Clancy moved to get up but plopped back down when his wounds reminded him of his current situation. "Ah, opps. Sorry, I can't get the door" he apologized with a weak smile.

"Oh for goodness sake, don't apologize!" Iacomus said in all seriousness, and walked over to the door where he expected to see Zona. He opened the door and saw Zona, who was obviously pretending to be okay, but his eyes darted towards her side where there seemed to be what looked like a bullet wound. "Christ..." He whispered to himself as scooped up Zona as well and laid her out on the counter. "You got shot!?"

"Hey!" Zona said as Iaco picked her up, she hated it when others touched her, "You don't need to carry me, I can walk just fine..." She said as she tried to convince herself she was fine, as soon as Iaco lied her on the table she immediately sat up. "Ngh.." Zona grunted as a sharp pain shot through her body from where the bullet hit her, she was able to still sit but she grasped her side as she tried to stop some of the pain. "Uhhh..." She sighed as the pain went down a bit, "And yes, I was shot, he had a hidden pistol and I had no time to get out of the bullets path. Luck for me though he was a horrid aim." Zona smiled with a slight chuckle, cringing in pain from the small laugh the pain was getting worse and Zona's strength was nearly gone now. She lost her will to sit up and fell back down, pain once again shot through her body, "Ahh!" She let out a small shout, "Why the hell did Clancy go to help that girl!! Why did I fly by again!! WHY!!!" she thought to herself obviously regretting what she did.

"Dammit!" Iacomus hissed as he rushed back to the kitchen where Clancy sat. "Clancy, listen to me, a few days rest is not a magic treatment and you are extremely hurt. However, Zona has a bullet wound and I don't trust myself to be able to remove the bullet cleanly. I am out of practice, and I don't have the right equipment for procedures on the living, and I... I'm going to get a doctor and bring him here. Do not move, do not leave, don't do ANYTHING until I get back, okay? No matter what happens. Goddammit, you're both idiots!" He said with a huff as he ran out of the kitchen, past Zona, and out the door, heading down the street to find the nearest professional doctor.
(( once I get points, I'm totally going to get more medical skills so it matches his character. I think him as a character would be able to help them, but he only has medical I so that can't happen ))
Clancy grinned sheepishly at Iaco as he went t get the door. Once Iaco was gone he let out a sight and sagged back once more into the chair, closing his eyes. Muffled voices floated into the kitchen and Clancy was only able to pick out that Zona was here. Good, she was safe. Just as he started to feel better about the whole situation he heard Zona's sharp cry from the other room. Pushing himself up some he tried to lean forward to look through the door, worry written on his face. Iaco burst into the room only a few seconds later though, saying something about don't move, zona's shot, going to get help. Clancy could only stare in shock as Iaco ran back through the kitchen door.
"Hey, wait!" The sound of the front door slaming shut reached his ears. Iaco was already gone. This was all his fault; he should have never left Zona. Pushing himself up with a pained grunt, he managed to partily stand up, his torso hunched over some. Using his good arm, he guided himself to the other room with the help of the walls and furniture. Once he reached the other room he saw Zona's wounded body on the counter. A smile popped instantly on his face, but it was forced and void of his usual join. "Heya Zona, ya don't look to good" he weezed, managing to stagger over to the chair nest to the counter. He plopped down on it with a pained cough. "Can I help ya in anyway?"
"Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye" -K. Jackson Brown Jr.
"Speak for yourself." Zona huffed as she tried to smile, "How the hell does it hurt to smile?! He never even hit me in the face!" she thought to herself. Seeing Clancy in here all bandaged up made her happy, it'll take some time but he'll get better, and now that he's here he may be able to help, Iaco ran off before Zona could even call his name. "You really want to help?" She asked, "If ya do then... help me figure out a way to get this bullet out... If it stays in there any longer I'm... going to pass out... and i really don't want that." Zona said as well as she could before she was cut off by a lack of breath.

Iacomus darted into the closest clinic he could find, out of breath and wide eyed. He stood in the doorway, heaving heavily. "Dr. Uh..." he looked around to spot his name, and eventually saw a tag near the front "Fitloch! Fitloch..." Iacomus said, standing up all gentleman-like and trying to act as presentable as he could. "There are two people at my shop, one has been extremely injured and the other has a shot wound. I do not trust my skills to help them, but time is running out!" An expression that had seemingly never crossed his face before became quite apparent. He looked desperate, and his eyes pleaded. " Please, please tell me you're able to help them, dammit."
Clancy laughed nervously "Ah, I don't think that would be best... I ain't no healer and Iaco's getting a doctor so he'll be here real soon, I promise. If it would help ya could hold ma hand or punch me in tha face or somethin'. " She was bleeding really bad and he was pretty sure that if he tried to get up again he might just pass out. With a deep breath, he started to unbutton his vest. Maybe he could use the inside of it since it was clean ta soak up some of tha blood. Taking it off was extremely painful, what with it brushing up against the bandages on his arm but he managed somehow. Crumpling it up he gave Zona a sad smile "I might be able to stall tha bleedin' tho.. but this might hurt... Sorry..." he reached up and pressed it gently to the gunshot wound.
~At Flitloch's office~
Dr. Flitloch opened the door to the frantic man. He recalled seeing him before with the Leland boy and he could tell this man was not his normal self. What ever was wrong, was serious. "One moment please, let me just grab my supplies." Jogging in he grabbed his to go kit and hurried as fast as he could back to the door. This man was luck. Since he had been with the Leland boy that meant that he could trust the man to a certain degree. Had it been anyone else he would have turned them away. Once he reached the door he locked and closed it behind him in a hurry. "Lead the way, Sir"

"Fine..." Zona said to weak to argue with the boy. "AAHHH!!" Zona cried out, when he placed his vest on the wound. She thought to herself that she should at least have her jacket off, but that was still on, pressing against her wound along with her shirt, she wouldn't mind if it were just her shirt, but with the jacket on it began to dig into the wound, the sharp stiff corners of the jacket. Clancy didn't know that by pushing his vest on it, even if it was gentle, it was still digging into the wound even more, and it hurt like hell. She didn't want to tell him to stop, just because that would be rude, he was trying to help her after all, but his helping just made everything hurt even more.

"Thank you so very much sir!" Iacomus said as he started walking off "I would say I am indebted to you with a spin of my hat and a bow, but right now isn't the time!" He practically sprinted, leading the way, but as he did, he thought to himself. If he had arrived on the scene sooner, could he have helped? Not that he would have been able to, of course, he knew that, but... If he had stayed and helped Zona fight, would she have gotten shot? He wasn't too good with combat, usually only taking on those who he knew were weaker than he, but... With that, he arrived at his house and held the door open for the doctor. He looked at Zona who was groaning in pain and Clancy, who seemed to be trying to help her stop bleeding. "Oh for the love of-" he started, a little irritated that Clancy did not heed his advice, but stopped himself from getting too angry, because now was not the time.
"Tis quite alright Sir; I understand your circumstances perfectly" Dr. Flitloch huffed as he hurried after the man. Clancy bit his lip, feeling terrible as he listened to Zona groan in pain. This was all his fault. Why had he dragged his friends into his fight? If only he was not so weak.. Just then Dr. Flitloch and Iaco burst through the door. Clancy let out a shaky sigh of relieve, dropping his arm and dropping his soaked vest to the ground "Finally, a real doctor. 'ere I'll get outa tha way" he said in a hurry, pushing himself up and gritting his teeth in pain as he did. Dr. Flitloch's eyes bulged at the spectical in front of him. "You arenot going anywhere, Sir!" the man called, rushing forward to gently eased Clancy back down in the chair. "My name is Doctor Flitloch, what are all yours? Also, please explain what happened so that I know how to properly treat you both" Flitloch said in a calm voice as he hurridly set his equipment on the counter, getting ready to operate in Zona. "Clancy Fuchs" the pink haired man sighed out, leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes "It was all my fault" he muttered quietly.

Zona sighed with relief when Clancy drop the vest, she didn't even notice Iaco came back until Clancy said something to the doctor. Zona knew this guy, he was the same doctor Stephen took her to for her legs. "I think you know me..." She said with a huff, "And this isn't... your fault Clancy... If... I didn't want... to help... then I... wouldn't... have..." Her breath was getting shorter and shorter, and it was becoming harder for her to breath. It felt as though her lungs were closing in on her, as though she was drowning in water, as though they were on fire! She didn't think of it before but that bullet just might have hit her lung, but she was no doctor so she had no idea, but it just didn't feel right at all. "Help... him... first..." Zona tried to say, "I'll... be fine..." She grunted in pain as she tried to move.

The doctor gave her a look "I suppose you are going to be a regular customer of mine. Madam, right now, you need the most metical attention. I do not think your friend will mind waiting for a bit" he began to operate on her. Clancy opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, thinking to himself and trying not to worry about what was happening around him. If he did he would probably cry and that would only make matters worse. Plus he would look weak again...

With the shallow screech of wood on wood, Iacomus pulled up a chair next to Clancy, and plopped himself down, looking weary and leaning his arms on his legs, with his hands folded. "For the record" he said with a slight smirk "I am a real doctor..." He then sighed "and really, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself."
