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

"Well ya I know Clancy, I kind of work for him." Zona said as she looked at Lasair. Wait, not he had someone she wanted her to meet... It must have been the same person Elaine wanted her to see to, but with the way those two were acting... It better not be someone that they think would be 'perfect' for her. Turning she saw Clancy coming up and waving with his normal Clancy smile, but she then noticed someone behind him. As the blond came into Zona's view one thing came to mind, "They are all tryin' to hook me up with him..." Zona thought as she looked at the man for a moment, he on the other hand wouldn't stop staring. "Hey Clancy." Zona said trying to shake the thought, maybe they just think he's fun... or lonely. "Hey... um.. Friend of everyone's." She said as she put on a fake smile.

Noticing that neither of them gave their names, Lasair stepped forward, clapping a hand on each of their shoulders. “Well, some introductions are in order. This girl here is Zona.” He smiled at her. “And this lad is Alonzo, but he insists everyone calls him Keefe.” He rather liked Keefe’s actual name, it was too bad he didn’t like to use it. Turning to Zona now, he continued to smile. “Anyway, I think you’re going to want to see the thing Keefe’s trying to get out of his pocket. I didn’t see it at first, but obviously he has now that he’s trying to find it.” Chuckling, Lasair stepped back then, hoping it would go well from here forward. After the hard part was over, he had some sweets hidden in his basket for everyone to share. And then there was one other surprise in store.

Elaine gauged Keefe's reaction with surprise. He looked shocked, like he'd been hit. But then she watched him search for his picture. Letting Lasair introduce them she steeped forward to stand on the other side of the trio and motioned for Clancy to join her. "Hey." She told him cheerfully. She hadn't seen the pink haired man in awhile. Not since the night she ran in to everyone, and he had been drunk. She looked back at the pair holding her breath. 'Come on, don't let me be wrong today.....' She thought.

Keefe frantically search in his pocket for the picture, "Where is it? Where is it!?" Keefe said under his breath as he moved on to the other pocket. Just as he thought he left it at home he felt the small corner of the paper. Some relief swept over Keefe as he grabbed the picture and pulled it out of his pocket, he then carefully unfolded it. As he held the picture up some he knew, that his search would end in the same city that it started in. Timidly he began to step forward towards the girl, "I-is, umm... T-This you?" Keefe asked as he stretched his arm out and handed the picture to the girl, "C-Could it really be you?..." Keefe stared at the girl with wide eyes hoping, praying that this was her.

"Oh, so your names Keefe. Well nice ta meet ya." Zona said as she stretched her hand out as an offer to shake his. Though he didn't take it, he just seemed to be standing there looking at what ever it was that he just pulled out of his pocket. "Ok..." Zona said as she drew her hand back in, something was off with this guy. Turning around Zona decided it would be best to just ignore him, besides why did they think she would like him, especially with the way he was acting. Just as she to turn away he said something, "Huhh..." Zona said as she turned back around to see that the boy was holding out a picture. "What's this?..." Zona asked as she looked at the picture. She froze as her eyes went wide as she looked over the people, "This is.... I...."

Keefe looked on in suspense, waiting for the girl to say this was her, waiting for his chance to say 'Your my sister!', waiting to finally say he had someone related to him by blood, waiting to be a brother. "W-Well?..." Keefe asked quietly as he looked at her. If she said she had no idea what that picture was or who it was Keefe's heart would be crushed. If this girl, the one with the same face as hid mother, similar hair and same eyes, wasn't the person he was looking for then all was lost. If she wasn't the one...

As Zona looked at the picture something began to boil inside her, something she didn't know how to explain, something that was going to pop any minute. As she looked at the picture, her wings began to itch, they wanted out so badly Zona didn't think she could keep them in any more, and even if she let them out she figured that would be ok. Both Lasair and Clancy had seen her wings, Elaine was the only one who hadn't. As she continued to look at the picture the feeling began to grow and something began to eat at her eyes... Were they tears? No... She wouldn't cry... She couldn't cry... Why would she... Because of the picture but how did she get the picture... Just then she heard his voice. Something snapped.
In the blink of an eye Zona's jacket was off and on the ground and her wings were out and flapping hard. She then grabbed the boy by the collar and pinned him to the nearest tree. Her arm pushing against his neck and collar bone, pinning him, holding him off the ground and against the tree. Though the difference in height would have been a problem, Zona had the upper hand since her wings were out. Hey gave her the extra foot she needed to tower over the boy.
"How in the HELL did you get that!? Where did you get that!?" Zona shouted, demanding she find out how a boy such as him got that picture. Tears began to blur Zona's vision some, wiping them away she then focused all her attention on the boy. She stared him dead in the eyes, as if she was trying to look deep into his soul, find the answer herself, she couldn't wait to hear it come from him. "Answer me!!" She screamed as tears came back into her eyes, "Tell me where you got that God drat Picture From!!!" A tear escaped her eye as she thought about that picture for a moment. They took that picture just a few days before they were killed...

Elaine watched as Keefe finally found the photo and showed it to Zona. He seemed stunned. So did Zona after a moment, and Elaine had never actually seen her speechless. They sat there in silence with bated breath waiting for Zona to do something. Then suddenly there were wings. Elaine jumped back in shock. They were pretty, very pretty wings. And she probably would have been more fascinated with them if Zona didn't currently have the boy she cared about pinned to a tree. She instantly felt her shoulders tense. "Zona no! Don't hurt him!" Elaine cried, not entirely sure she could hear. She didn't expect the blue haired girl to do anything outrageous. Giving gave Keefe a bit of a helpless look she watched and waited. She trusted Zona and at the same time she had Keefe and she wasn't exactly calm. Elaine's eyes flickered back and forth between the two.

Jumping back as Zona’s wings came out, Lasair felt like this may have gotten out of hand. Keefe was pinned to a tree and Zona was shouting at him, demanding to know where he got the picture. She needed to calm down, to hear what he had to say. But if Keefe didn’t find his voice soon, that wouldn’t happen. So Lasair took a few cautious steps towards the pair of them, trying to stay out of Zona’s range of vision while keeping his eyes on Keefe. Something had to happen, and it needed to happen soon.

Well that's one way to treat family... Keefe was stunned, scared, terrified, amazed, and many other words that just can't be described, though he was mostly terrified... Throwing his hands up over his face Keefe began to shake, as the fear took over. He truly thought this woman, his possible sister was going to kill him. He just remembered that she was screaming at it and after a few moments of silence he tried to speak up.
"M-My mother gave that to me before she died..." Keefe said as he cowered behind his hands, slowly peeking out from in between his fingers. He wondered why no one was helping him. "She died after I was born. I never met her but she talked to the people who took care of me. She told them something happened... something bad... But then she said when I turned 16 I could go and look for my sister, the little girl in the picture." Keefe said, afraid that he may have said the wrong thing and a fist or something would soon be meeting his face. "She looks just like you..." He said under his breath some as he continued to hid behind his hands.
Wait what... What did the boy just say? Did she hear him right? No he's lying... But he doesn't look like the type who lies... Does he even now how?... Zona backed away from the boy, letting him drop to the ground. "No... No that's not right. That can't be true." Zona said as she stared at the boy for a moment. Recognition came to her as she looked at the boy, he looked like someone, but it couldn't be...
"No... No I don't have a brother. My mother died as she tried to save me... She... She died there....." Grief began to take over as she thought of the picture. Looking at the ground Zona rubbed her fingers through her hair frantically, messing it up slightly as she tried to wrap her brain around what was happening. "It's not true! It can't be! It isn't!! Your not-" She tried to say as she looked up and pointed a finger at the boy. Her father was standing there then. Zona's eyes went wide as she stared in disbelief. Blinking several times her father vanished and the boy reappeared. He looked just like him.
Zona then turned away from the boy she just couldn't look at him anymore, so instead she stared at the ground, looking at the picture that lay there. "No... It just..... It can't be......" Zona said under her breath as she used one hand to cover her mouth and the other to hold her side. Falling to her knees she continued to stare at the picture as he wings began to drop, falling on each side of her laying on the ground next to the blue haired ander.

She was really freaking out, looking like she was going to puke. Lasair felt like he needed to do something. He gestured for Elaine to check on Keefe while he approached Zona. Clancy was hanging out in the background, and Lasair wasn’t sure what he would do. Kneeling down in front of the winged girl, Lasair craned his neck, trying to make eye contact with her. “It’s a lot to take in, but try to relax. I thought you would be happy to have found out you have family. And Keefe, he’s really sweet. He wants nothing more than to meet his big sister. He has wings too, but he never learned how to use them. If nothing else, maybe you could give him a flying lesson? That’s something to talk about, isn’t it? Take as much time as you need. This day is supposed to be special for you. Do whatever you need to do right now.”

Elaine nodded as she caught Lasair's whim. Walking carefully around the girl's wings she got to the other side and knelt down beside Keefe. "Are you alright?" She asked, concern flickering in her eyes. Zona was strong and that was part of the reason Elaine didn't step forward to pull her off. She held a boy much taller than her off his feet. Her green eyes searched his for a split second. Then her attention turned to his neck where Zona had pinned him. Regardless of Keefe's answer about his injuries Elaine gently pushed the edge of his collar down to get a look at his neck. Possible bruising but nothing looked serious. She put a firm hand on his shoulder, silently telling him not to get up. Breathing a small sigh of relief she stayed there beside him turning to glance at Lasair. He was talking to her. 'Easy Zona. I know its a scare.' The girl thought.

"Y-Ya... I'm fine." Keefe said more dazed and scared than actually hurt. His eye's were still wide with fear as he looked at Elaine, searching for answers she wouldn't have to questions he wasn't sure he wanted to ask. "I-Is she ok? I didn't mean for it to go that way... I-I thought she would be happy..." Keefe said as he pushed up some, wanting to go over and see if the girl was ok, but a hand stopped him before he could. Looking back at Elaine he knew what she was saying. He was rushing it a bit, the blue haired girl probably needed some time and space.
Zona spaced out as she stared at the picture, and it wasn't until Lasair came over to her and began talking that she came back. "Wha- I...." Zona tried to speak as she picked up the picture, "I just don't understand this... How could he be- I mean I saw her die.... They followed us and finished her off she was laying there dead! How could he..." Zona said as questions began to fill her head, she wanted to know everything that the boy knew. Taking a few breaths her heart rate lowered and her mood began to calm. Who wouldn't flip out over something like this? Though most my just start screaming in joy or something, everyone had one way or another of dealing with things. "How is it he just happened to know you all, and I the same?" Zona said under her breath some as she looked at the picture. There was no doubt that he was her brother, he looked just like her father but with blond hair. She would need to talk to him and find out more, find out all that he knows.
