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

"drat it!" Zona shouted as she reached up and grabbed the bow off her back and an arrow from her quiver. It took a lot out of Zona to just get the bow off her back and it would take the rest out of her to pull back and fire, just as she began to pull back a flash of green hit the man. "What the..." Zona stood there wide eyed as she registered that Elaine had just jumped off from the top of the roof she was on. "What the Hell!? Why did you do that?!" Zona asked as she looked over to the girl. The man lay there on floor, the force from the girl did at least push him to the ground but whether or not he was knocked out or just dazed, no one knew.

Elaine rolled off of him wincing at the new bruises she had sustained. "Don't "what the hell" me!" She snapped. Propping herself up on all fours she looked up at Zona, a fierce gleam in her eyes. Then scrambled to her feet. "You just got shot. How long did you think you could possibly hold him off?" Elaine coughed a bit to hide her guilt. "Besides, it's honestly not my first time jumping from a roof." She felt something warm run down her cheek and reached up to wipe away the thin stream of blood. 'One shard of brick did that?' "The shotgun." She pointed. If they got that from him he would have no chance.

"I know how long I could have held him off, and I know how long before my body craps out on me! This ain't the first time I've been shot, and it sure in Hell not the last time!" Zona said as she walked over to the man, she made sure to be careful as she stepped in closer still maintaining a rather quick pace to herself as she reached down and swiped the gun from the man. Stepping back she waited for the man to come roaring up again, but instead he lay there still. Taking the gun in hand Zona carefully stretch it out in front of her, poking the man in the neck. He grunted some and began to stir, and that was the queue to leave. Turning back around Zona grabbed Elaine's wrist and began to run off but not before calling over her shoulder, "Thanks for the gun! Sorry we can't stay, but we got places to go and things to do." And with that the two girls were off, gone around the corner and no longer in anyone's sight, just as the man began to sit back up too.

Elaine went to retaliate to Zona's response but she was retrieving the gun. She waited patiently as the other girl took the weapon and studied the man a bit. 'I must have fell on him harder than I thought.' But upon looking up to the roof edge she could understand why. Suddenly Z had her arm and had spun her around to take off in the other direction. Elaine picked up the pace quickly. But once they got around the corner the girl hissed, "That was the first time I got anyone shot," Putting special emphasis on the I, "And I sure as hell am NOT going to stand idly watching." She wiped a hand across her cheek again. Glancing at it as she ran. 'Good luck explaining that at home.' She thought bitterly.

Once the two were a safe distance away Zona stopped running and crouched some in a nearby alleyway. Looking around she made sure no one had followed them, and luck for them no one had. "Believe me, I've been to hell and back several times. Say anythin' and it's happened to me, or I've done it." Zona said as she turned around to look at the girl. "Just try me..." She said in a flat and mocking like voice, like she was tempting the girl to ask, as she turned back around for a moment to double check no one was coming.

Elaine dropped down as well, eyes flicking to Zona and back to the alley wall. Zona was scolding her. Or at least that's what it sounded like. She gave the blue haired girl a stubborn glare. She looked away after a moment. "I don't need to try you." She retorted. Elaine shifted her weight to one side. Running a hand over her cheek again and just smearing blood. She then turned her attention to Zona's arm. Looking it over and wincing a bit. 'I did that?! Oh I wouldn't blame her if she never spoke to me again.' Humor, always present even in the darkest of times.

After she made sure no one had followed them Zona turned her attention back to the girl. She just then noticed that the girl was hurt, reaching down into her side bag Zona pulled out some some gauze and wrapping, though it wouldn't stick it could at least be held on her wound until the bleeding stopped. "Here." Zona said as she walked over to the girl and handed her the wrapping. "I know am no doctor but at least I can help the bleeding stop." She said as she took one of the gauze and folded it in half, it would have been much to big, and the extra cushion to it never hurt. Taking it in hand she held the gauze up and gently put it one the girl's face, "Now ya can either hold it there with your hand or I can use that and wrap it around your head some so it would stay. Your choice."

"Aren't you going to need it more than me?" She asked pointing at Zona's arm. But reached up to hold it either way. "Sorry." She mumbled quietly. Apologizing for her interference but not for her actions. Elaine looked down at the shotgun absently. Having retreated to her thoughts. She half hoped she gave the guy amnesia with the collision and he wouldn't remember them or anyone for that matter. But that was unlikely. His skull was as thick as an iron rail. She grew very quiet.

"No that's going to need somethin' I could never do, and that would couldn't help it all that much." Zona said as she finished wrapping the girls wound and stepping back some. Zona couldn't help but smile some as the girl apologized. "Ya don't need to be sorry, just know for next time that when I say I got it, I got it." She said with a light smile as she stuck everything back into her bag. "Anyway... Who gets his gun?"

Elaine couldn't smile back. She just looked up at Zona and nodded. Then turned her gaze to the gun thinking. "Well I really shouldn't be returning home with weapons. People get suspicious. Maybe a gunsmith in town would want it if you don't." She scrunched up her nose for a moment and turned to glace up the wall they were behind. Wishing to climb it and lay on the roof for a few hours. All she would end up doing was brooding over things so she let it go.

"Hey, I'll take it if ya don't want it." Zona said as she bent down and picked it up, looking it over some, "I know a guy who would pay good money for it." Zona then looked over to the girl, seeing something was wrong, she wasn't acting the same. "Hey whats the matter?" Zona asked slightly concerned for the girl.

"Then I guess its yours!" She said with some enthusiasm. Trying to cover up the guilty feelings Zona seemed to be picking up like an emotion radar. "Nothing's wrong? Why?" She countered the question quickly. She stood up slowly wincing at all the new pinpoints of protests from her body. I'll be feeling this for a few days.' The thought fluttered through her head. "I'm just a little beat from the fall." Elaine said rolling her shoulder. "You hungry?" She changed the subject and hoped Z would take the bait. She wanted to sit down and maybe have a drink or something. Anything to stop the cramp developing in her back.

"Hmmm..." Zona mumbled as she noticed the girl avoiding the question, did she really think Zona wouldn't notice. Though food was a good way to avoid the subject, so Zona decided to play along, bring it back up later. "Hmmm... Food ya say. Ok, but only if your payin'!" Zona said with a smile as she took the bandanna off from around her leg and wrapped it around her shoulder, where the bullet wound was. It seemed like for and eternity had passed since Zona had used the bandanna.

"You got it." But then she wondered if she should have offered to go to a doctor. Thinking, a plan slowly formulated in her mind. She knew a person who could help and keep this on the down low. "Come on. I know a good place nearby." She said double checking the street before stepping out and beckoning for Zona to follow. She turned down the street headed for a little shop she knew well. With someone in it she was very familiar with. It wasn't that far from the end of the district. She walked quickly but still paced enough to keep from running Zona out of breath. Coming up to the door she clicked it open and ushered the blue haired girl inside. The room they were in was huge with shelves upon shelves of books. "Upstairs." She said. But before they could get to the stairs a woman stepped out of the back room. She had dark wavy hair and green eyes. It looked almost like a double of Elaine. "Hey mum." The girl said sheepishly.

"Ok." Zona said as she bent down and picked up the gun, slinging it around her shoulder, having it lay next to her new bow. As she did that the pain in her arm grew, before it felt durable because of all the adrenaline in her system but with that gone the pain began to take its place. "dung..." Zona thought as she followed behind the girl, feeling the pain continue to grow in her arm. Bringing her unharmed arm and hand up to her shoulder, holding it to help subside the pain.
"Where the hell are we goin'?" Zona asked trying to take her mind off of her arm. As she followed the girl they ended up at what looked to be a normal house. "What the..." She began as she stepped in though the door, and stood there a moment before waiting for the girl to come in. Just as she did another woman who looked exactly like Elaine showed up "Hey Mum." "Wait what?" Zona thought to herself as she stood there, unsure of what to do.
