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

Open to Clancy Fuchs and Iacomus Lerwick
Directly following 'Just Around the Corner'
Holding Clancy on her back and Iacomus in her arms Zona flew down and gently set Iacomus onto the ground before landing herself. Being sure not to put to much weight on her leg which had been mangled by a creature known as Death's Dog, who had just ran far off into the woods, Zona hovered just and inch or so above the ground. Zona seemed to always get hurt, especially around these two... she didn't mind all that much, plus this was far from being the worst she ever had.
"What the HELL was that about?!?!" She shouted at Iaco as she helped Clancy down from off her shoulders, "And I'm not talking about the gun!" She said this because near the end of this fight with Death's Dog Iacomus tried to shoot it, and ended up shooting her leg. When they first ran into each other out here everything seemed to be fine, as though everything was normal, but after talking to the beast and raveling to them that Zona was a Winged Anderswelter Iacos mood changed almost instantly, and Zona wanted to know why. Was it just because of what the beast was talking to them about or was it because Zona was an Ander.

Lifting his eyebrows and putting on a sympathetic, worried face that was dripping with sarcasm and hate, he replied to Zona's inquiry. "Oh, whatever do you mean, ander? Whatever do you mean?"

"Ohhh..." Zona said as she walked closer to him, ignoring the ache in her leg, "You know EXACTLY what I mean! Everything was fine before that thing showed up and I had to bring out my wings!" She was starting to get rather angry now, you could not only see it in her face, but it seemed as thought her wings were getting larger, and her feather became fluffed up more, making them seem much bigger than they really were. "Now start talkin'." She said as she was inches away from him, with a blank face that had a hint of anger to it, making complete, non-interrupted eye contact the entire time.

Iacomus quickly grabbed her chin with his forefinger and thumb and forced her to look upwards, then brought his face closer to hers. With a low, groaning sort of soft tone, he said "Winged anderswelter... They're such disgusting creatures, you see... The sight of them brings back... such bad memories..." His mouth, which had previously been dropped slightly open in phony sympathy, spread across his face, reaching the tops of his cheeks in a malevolent, terrible grin.

Slapping his hand from off her face, she took a step back and said with extreme sarcasm, "Ohh well poor Iaco... Everyone stop what your doing!! Iacos remembering some bad memories..." She looked at him with a face that never knew sympathy, "Well ya know what, your not the only one who has bad memories! They happen so get over it!" Zona was having a hard time not wanting to rip his head off, but from an experience she had like this with someone else she need to stay calm. "What the hell happened that makes you hate them sooo very much? What the hell did a winged Ander do?"

"We've all got sad memories in this godforsaken city, Zona." Iacomus said, his grin still present "This is a town of broken people with broken pasts and broken hearts and broken minds. We have all shattered into a billion bloody pieces, and none of us, not one of us, is able to be put right. I met someone with a broken wing, and I tried to fix it. When you try to fix something that's broken beyond compare, it breaks yourself as well."

"Ya everyone is broken but people get over it! Life sucks and if you choose to accept it the better off you are! But no one is perfect and no one will be!!" Zona said thinking his story is nothing, well not nothing, just... odd that he would be so sad about it, "Things happened and you cant always fix it! GET OVER IT!!! So what if you couldn't fix it, there are only certain things you can fix, and the things you can you just have to leave it in the past and MOVE ON!!! You said it yourself, everyone in this God drat city has problems, some bigger than others, mine much bigger than yours but I'm not complaining! God!!!" Zona said walking off a bit and throwing her hands in the air, holding them crossed against the back of her head.

"I am over it. I have accepted it. If anything, that such event in my life is how I am here today. It helped me figure out who I am, what I was supposed to be. Don't you see? It worked like that! It worked perfectly!" with a fidget of his fingers, he giggled to himself.
"Oh no your not" Zona said as she turned around an looked at Iacomus directly in the eyes with hard, almost soulless eyes, "If you really are over it then why do you hate Winged Anders so much, enough that make you flip your mood, 360 degrees around, in seconds! If you really are over it you wouldn't be doing that! I know what its like. I used to hate Feline Anders, and I thought I was over what happened but I wasn't, not until someone told me I was denying it." Zona said as her eyes softened, becoming less harsh, "I truly though I was over it, but you aren't until you stop hating all of them for what one or two of them did, ya you don't have to love them like their your family, but you don't hate them all, you just don't care for them." Zona hoped she got through to him, but she had a feeling she didn't.

"The winged ander was the best person I ever met! And that's why I hate them! Why don't you understand?" Iacomus said, gritting his teeth now in an almost childish way.
Zona was in a bit of shock, she didn't know what to say, "I guess I don't understand because I don't get how you could hate them if that person you knew was so great! I just don't get it, I can understand if you hate them because they did something horrid, but how could you hate them if they were great!" Zona said as she tried to wrap her brain around it, "The only way I could kind of see how that would make sense is if you ended up..." Zona looked up with a curious look to her face wondering if what she thought was true.

" 'Ended up'-" Iacomus said snidely, shruging his shoulders and looking at Zona with wide eyes. His smile had returned. "Ended up what, ander. Ended up, what?"
"Ugh!" Zona grunted as she once again threw her hands up in the air, "I'm done with you, DONE with you. How could I have ever thought I could change the mind of an old man!" He knew perfectly well what she was talking about and choosing to do that made her furious. she Just didn't know how to get through to him, to make him see what she was trying to say. "What the HELL is wrong with you!?" She screamed at the man before she turned around and started to walk away.

"Ended up falling in love, ander? That's what you meant, wasn't it? Well, that ended! She ended! And I hate her for it!" Iacomus covered his eyes with his hand, and split his fingers so that one of his yellow irises peeked out. He laughed lowly, quietly. "When you care about something it becomes part of you, and when it ends part of you ends!"
Clancy had been silent for the whole fight be he could hold his tongue no longer. "Hey... Stop fighting please..." he said quietly in a serious voice, a sad look on his face. They were both ripping into each other with every word: Zona was bringing back painful memories for Iaco and Iaco turned his malice on her. It was a terrible sight to see.
