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
Clancy let out a weak laugh, an apologetic smile on his face "Ah sorry, I meant myself, not you. Zona was askin' me ta operate on here and I didn't know what to do and you weren't here to help..." Clancy sighed, the smile running from his face "If it's not ma fault, who's ta take the blame fer what happened?"

Iacomus laughed a little "How about the guys who practically maimed you? Tch" he said with a smirk, and with a raspy voice, mumbled so that he thought only he could hear "They're going to have hell to pay once I get to them."
As the doctor began to operate on Zona the pain skyrocketed, everything felt as thought it was on fire, being stabbed a hundred times in the same spot, and it just kept going. "AAAHHHH!!!" Zona screamed, she hated to show pain and always did her best to hide it, but she couldn't this time, she couldn't even think to do that, she couldn't even think right now the pain just took over. She tried to think of something else but couldn't, couldn't think of anything and couldn't hear anything except a loud and extremely high pitched buzz and the noise was right in her ear, never wanting to leave. The more the doctor did the worse it felt, but out of the pain and the buzzing Zona heard Clancy, and how this was his fault, "drat it Clancy!" Zona thought to herself, "If i wasn't in sooo much pain right now i would smack you upside the head!" She knew she couldn't really talk right now but she wanted to tell him he was wrong, so with a large breath she tried, "Clancy... wrong... not..... you.... stupid..... assholes......" That was all she could get out before the pain took over and she let out another scream, hoping for the pain to stop soon, "AAAAHHHHH!!!"

Clancy's twisted with agony from hearing Zona's screams. He hunched over in his chair and hid his face in his hands. They kept saying it was not his fault but he could convince himself otherwise. Hearing his friend in pain made him feel utterly terrible. There was nothing he could do to help ease her pain and that was the hardest part of it all. It hurt to be hunched over like this but he did not want his friends to see the emotions on his face. Gritting his teeth he straightened back up but kept one hand over his eyes.
"Mr. Lerwick, I need you to hold her down. I almost have it out but I will not be able to take it out when she is moving like this" Dr. Flitloch replied in a calm voice, his hands covered in Zona's blood.

On cue, Iacomus stood up abruptly and walked over to the girl on his countertop. He gripped her arm near her shoulder with one hand and her leg with the other. There was no time for his eccentric antics now. He glanced back at Clancy who seemed not to be able to look at Zona in her current state, then turned back to Zona. "Hold still, dammit" he muttered under his breath.
Dr. Flitloch quickly removed the bullet, treated and wrapped the wound, thanking Iaco for his help. "Are you hurt anywhere else, Ms Noakes?" he asked seriously, wiping his hands off with a towel from his bag. Clancy was still trying get a hold of his emotions but not really succeeding. Beneath his hand he could feel the sting of his eyes tearing up. Now was NOT the time to cry. Taking a deep breath he let it out, removing his hand so he could see what was happening. "Is... she okay?" he asked quietly, a sad look on his face. Dr. Flitloch glanced at Clancy and gave him a small smile "She will be fine" Clancy let out a relieved sigh, a small smile gracing his lips "Thank you"

When Clancy looked up, Iacomus could see the corners of his eyes turning red. That poor boy, he probably thought that it was not alright to cry. After everything that had happened, it would be a natural reaction, almost expected, of course... Was it that Clancy was afraid to cry in front of Zona, because she was a tough one, or that he thought he would freak her out? Or, Iacomus thought, was Clancy afraid to cry in front of himself, for reasons he could not find. Maybe it was neither of those at all, but regardless, Iacomus picked up Clancy by the shoulders and carried him into the kitchen, setting him on the floor against the wall.
"You... try.... not... too...." Zona said though gritted teeth, she was doing her best not to move but everything hurt, and she couldn't really help it. Suddenly a sharp pain she had never felt before erupted from where the bullet had hit her, she let out a scream she couldn't quite no matter how hard she would have tried, "AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!" The pain was so much that she felt it in her wings, though they were tucked away, she could feel them, as though they were out and had gone through the same thing as the rest of her body. The pain began to dull though, whether it was because the bullet was out or her body going numb to the pain, she didn't know and didn't care, she was just happy it was over. The doctor asked her something else but she couldn't understand him, she though it had something to do with more wounds, or hurting, all Zona could do was say, "Head... Shoulder....." She remembered she split her head and blood covered her one eye, and something happened with her shoulder, but that felt so long ago she nearly forgot.
(She gashed her head when she rolled backwards and smacked into the building, and dislocated her shoulder when he first hit her)

Clancy give Iaco a quizzical eyebrow when he picked him up and brought him to the kitchen again. Clancy looked up at him with an amused smile "Is this you're way of tellin' me ta stop botherin' tha doc? I promise ta stop askin' him questions. I got the answer I needed" She would be okay and that was all that mattered. A thought came to his head and he was suddenly ashamed for not asking sooner. "Ya didn't get hurt in the fight as well didja? I really hope not" he asked with a smile but his eyes reflected concern.
Dr. Flitloch nodded then got to work on cleaning and bandaging her forehead first. After that was done he glanced at he shoulder "Would it be alright if I removed your jacket, Madam? So that I could get to your shoulder?"

Zona was happy the pain was finally stopping, she closed her eyes and lied on the table very still as the doctor finished cleaning and bandaging up her head. She noticed Iaco carry Clancy into the other room, she could tell Clancy was more in touch with his emotional side than she was, which is fine, but in times like this she could understand if he needed a moment away from her. She heard his question but had no desire to answer because her voice seemed to be gone and was throbbing a bit from all the screaming so all she could do was slightly nod her head. She felt so weak for screaming like that, but the pain was to much to hold in, in the end though she gave into it and in return her body was going numb, she was glad to deal with a bit of tingling everywhere rather than what she was going through before.

Iacomus looked down at Clancy and smiled, but it wasn't a pleasant one. This one seemed almost pure evil. "Later tonight, I'll take care of the guys that did this to you and Zona. Will that make you feel better? I hope so..."
Clancy blinked, not expecting that look from Iaco. he probably met he was going to turn the into the EIRALs. Clancy realized how traumatic this experience was for Iaco as well. Although he did not get hurt seeing his friends in pain must have been really hard for him. That was probably why he was acting like this. Clancy smiled kindly at him "That would amazin'! A few less bad people on tha streets is always a good thing! Thanks Iaco!"
Dr. Flitloch removed Zona's jacket and fixed up her shoulder as well After that was finished he wiped off his hands and gave her a stern look but talked to her in a soft voice "Now no moving about much for a while Ms. Noakes, I mean it! Take car of yourself. I am going to check on your other friend now. No sneaking out on me again, alright?" After cleaning up his supplies and giving Zona one last warning look he headed over to the next room. Clancy turned to look at the doctor when he walked into the room. "Sorry to interrupt but I am going to have a look at your friend there, Sir" he said nodding to Clancy., talking to Iaco. Clancy nodded his head with a tired smile.

Zona didn't have the strength or energy to get up, or even move for that matter, she just lied there, happy the doctor was going to help her other friend. Zona didn't even have the energy to but her jacket back on, it just lied next to her, reveling that the entire left side of her was covered in tattoos. They went from her cheek to her shoulder, down her side, and around her entire arm, and then disappeared at the top of her pants. The design of the tattoos were simple, made up of gears and red scroll work, all being out lined in a black ink, most would think doing something like that would be wrong, or indecent, but for Zona each line, each color, every gear and scroll work ment something special. "Thank you..." Zona said to the doctor before he left.

"Oh, please do!" Iacomus said as he stifled a giggle and covered his mouth slightly with his hand "Take good care of him!" he almost sang "I'll be right out here!" He walked out to the other room calmly, and sat in one of the chairs, but was still smiling. "How are you then, Zona?" Iacomus asked the girl before him, "feeling a little better? Do you need to stay here for awhile, or do you have another place where you can rest?"
"Ha!" Zona chuckled, cringing in a bit of pain, "If I could... move right now... I would go home... but I cant do that..." Zona said still having a bit of trouble breathing, "So I hope you... don't mind if I... stay a bit longer..." She wasn't sure if he wanted her to leave or is he was just asking if she had a place of her own, either way she couldn't really leave right then. "How's Clancy?" She asked as she tried to sit up, she was able to stay up, but had to hold her side to help relieve the pain. "And how are you doing?" Zona asked as she looked at Iaco, knowing this must have been just as hard for him as it was for Clancy and her.
