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…” Lasair began, scratching the back of his head. “Keefe ran into me while he was lost, and later met Elaine at the Festival of Hearts. I don’t know how he met Clancy, their shops are close to each other I think. And you know how we all met you. This city might be big, but it’s also quite small when you think about it. Is it really that hard to imagine someone finding you after searching for quite some time?” He smiled gently at Zona, hoping that talking was helping her calm down. Keefe seemed to be alright, which was a relief, but it did show Lasair that he really should avoid getting on her bad side. She was a force to be reckoned with.

Elaine cast a side-long glance at the boy. Murmuring quietly, "It's a bit of a shock. It's not everyday you suddenly have a sibling that you never knew about." She gave him a pointed look but her gaze softened as she noticed his terrified expression. At least she hadn't hurt him. The girl was listening to Lasair in the meantime, noting how part of his info was incorrect. She had first met Keefe when he lost himself at the docks, but that was besides the point and not worth mentioning. At least Zona was not beyond reason. You could practically see the wheels turning in her head.
Zona listened to Lasair but her focus went in and out on him, she knew what she was going to do and even though Lasair's words were trying to help, she just didn't really care. Nodding some just to show she didn't completely tune him out she took the picture in hand and stood up.Her wings rose up behind her, standing tall and proud as the should, no longer drooping next to her. Her mood had also improved it was better, more calm and collected, in fact she seemed to be the complete opposite of the person who just pinned the boy to the tree moments ago. Turning she looked over to the boy, what was his name Keefe...
As she looked at him her gaze was softer, no longer harsh and hollow like before, she then began to slowly walk over to him. As she walked over to him she thought of what she wanted to say, she thought of whether or not she wanted to talk to him in front of everyone else. She would leave that up to him, if he wanted to stay here then this is where they would talk, if not she would find a place not to far from here. As she walked up to the boy she could see she did scare him a bit, but who wouldn't be. "Come on." Zona said in a soft voice as she held out a hand to the boy, looking at him with calm and quiet eyes, "We need to talk."

Keefe looked at Elaine with wide eyes, still a bit frightened from what happened. Turning her looked down to his feet with a sigh, "I Suppose your right..." He said a bit unsure of what he was going to do next. Just as he thought it was all over and that the girl was done, she had just gotten up and was making her way towards him. "AAAHHHHH!!! What if she tries to hurt me again?!?!" He thought as he cowered under his hands some, scared to look at the girl. But the closer she got the less threatened he felt, looking up some he realized that she had become different... Calmer in a way.
Bringing his arms back down to his sides he watched as she walked up to him "Come on. We need to talk." The girl said as she held out her hand. Keefe was unsure of what was happening and was a bit scared to take the girls hand, but he did. "If she really is my sister then we do have a lot to talk about." He thought as he reached for the hand and stood up, "Ok." He said as he looked at the girl.

Zona was slightly surprised as the boy took her hand, she thought that there was going to be a bit of persuasion that was needed, or something to convince him to talk to her. As she looked at the boy all the girl could see was her father, "If you really are my brother you going to tell me everything you know, got it?" Zona said as she took her hand back after the boy was up. She didn't like that she was the older of the two, yet the smaller, she didn't want to be looking up to him whenever she talked. "It's up to you whether or not ya want to talk in front of everyone. If ya don't we will find a spot not to far from here, but if ya stay they all know and can say as they please. Ya got that?"

Looking at the girl, Keefe listened as she talked. She sounded so sure... Like she knew what would happen and that only that would... "She sounds like an older sister..." Keefe thought as he continued to look at her. As she talked about leaving, Keefe thought of what would be best to do. Privacy would be nice, not everyone wants to hear or talk about family in front of others, but at the same time if he were to stay here he would have some help from his friends if something were to happen... "I... I think I want to stay here. I don't have anything to hide about what I know and I want them to be around..." He said. "Ya know just in case..." he then thought to himself.

As the two of them talked, Lasair inched his way over to Elaine and nudged her to get her attention. He spoke in a whisper then, hoping not to disturb the other two. “That didn’t go so badly.” He would have gone to talk to Clancy, but he knew that he was supposed to stay away from the happy man. It was a shame too, he really did enjoy conversations with him. And as for the people having the conversation in front of him, he trusted them enough not to pin one another to a tree. But he’d still be nearby if either needed help.

"Fine." Zona said, thinking of the questions she was going to ask the boy, she didn't have as many as she thought she would have. She took the photo and held it out to the boy, "First, tell me where and when you got this photo. Second, tell me everythin' ya know about the people in the photo. And finally, tell me why you wanted to find me so badly. Don't leave anythin' out." Zona said as she crossed her arms some and waited for the boy to reply.

Well now... She just threw all the questions she had for him all at once. He would have a hard time remembering everything. Ok first was about the picture. "Well..." Keefe began as she gently took the photo from her, "My mother- or uhh well, our mother gave it to my adopted parents just before she died. She told them to give this to me when I turned sixteen, and well... I got it on my sixteenth birthday and came here..." Keefe said as he looked at the picture some, this had to be the real deal, not only because of the similarity between the girl in the picture and the on standing in front of her, but also because of these questions.
"Umm lets see... You asked about what I knew of the people in there. Well from what my parents told me this person is my father, he apparently died from something that was happening at the island that they were from. Her, she is my mother and she came to the town where she met my parents. She was wounded really badly when she got there and my parents helped her until I was born, she told them about the picture and what not and asked them to take care of me. And then there is her." Keefe said as he pointed to the last person in the picture. "All I was told was that she was my sister." Keefe paused as he looked up to her.
"And you wanted to know why? Well... Why not? Who wouldn't want to meet their actual sister if they could. I grew up with parents who took me in because mine were dead, I never had any blood family. I just... I really wanted to see if I could fine my actual sister." Keefe said with a said smile to his face as he looked down at the ground some. Why would she ask a question like that? Did she not want a brother?

The girl noted Zona's change in composure and felt safe enough to back away. At least the woman wasn't trying to kill him anymore. Even with the sense of calm Elaine didn't take her eyes off of them. Not even when Lasair came over. But as she felt a nudge she couldn't help but look up at him. "Well, your not wrong." She murmured back. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. Elaine leaned on Lasair, barely enough to even be noticed. It kept her from shuffling her feet or doing some other form of fidgeting. If it bothered him she was sure he'd say something.
Zona listened to the boy as he talked, making sure to get every detail she could, even if he didn't seem to have all that many. She nodded at some parts but mostly stated silent as the boy spoke, her eyes slowly drifted to the ground. All the pieces were coming together, making everything connect and seem right, it made everything fit. She didn't know what else to say... His mother was her, and her father was his, he even had the same odd blue hair strand that fell in front of her face, there was no doubt that the two were siblings. Zona stayed silent for a while after the boy had finished talking, what was she to say? "Well..." She began as she tried to form the right words to say, "Everything seems to fit... And I suppose, if everything ya just said is true then..." Zona paused, unsure if she wanted to say the next part. Looking up at the boy she felt that she would regret saying this as soon as she did, "Then I guess we are siblings..."

A large smile arose from Keefe's face as he heard the blue haired girl say those words. He slowly walked up to the girl and looked at her with a face that screamed happiness and excitement. In one quick motion he scooped the girl up into a hug as he smiled even larger. He couldn't help but do that, he was just so happy he couldn't hold it in "AAHHH!!! Yes!!! Your my sister!!!" He said as he held her off the ground in the hug for a few moments. Too happy to say anything more than what he just did.

That hug was adorable to watch. Even if it seemed kind of strained from Zona’s side. Lasair took this as the sign that he should step forward, so he grabbed the basket and did so. “Now that you guys figured that out, would you like to eat?” Because what birthday party would be complete without food?

Elaine busted out laughing as Keefe hugged Zona. She half expected Z to slap the mess out of him while shouting for him to but her down. They looked like the adorable loving little brother and his smaller, strictly no touch, sister. She let her amusement turn into a fit of giggles. "I'll be the first on that." The brunette pointed at the basket over Lasair's shoulder and grinned at him. "You guys gonna join us?" Elaine teased Zona knowing she would respond first.

Zona was in shock as the boy grabbed her and drew her in for a hug. She hated hugs. "Ahhh.... Ngh..." Zona grunted some as she tried to wiggle her way out. "Let... Let go!!" Zona said as she pushed away some a managed to weasel her way out of his arms. Standing there a moment she dusted herself off some as she turned to look at the boy, "Don't EVER do that again." She said with a glare in her eye, not a mean or hateful one, just one that said she didn't like hugs. Turning she walked over to Elaine, rolling her eyes some at the comment she just made, "You think I'm one to pass up free food?" Zona said with a smirk as she looked at the girl, "So, what do you have?" Zona asked wondering what was there to eat.
