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

She pushed a branch out of her way as they continued to walk. It was odd, talking to this man. Gladys was taller than him by quite a bit, giving her a good view of his fluffy pink hair. “My parents wanted to marry me off, and well, I wasn’t ready for that yet,” she admitted bashfully. “So I ran off and joined the guards. I always looked up to them when I was younger and when they let me join, I was really happy. I’m still a ways away from being like the soldiers I look up to (when they’re taller than me) but I’m getting there. Slowly. Finding this car will be another step forward.” She smiled a little; it was weird talking about this all, but it was also somewhat comforting.

Clancy nodded, "Ah, well we better find this car soon so ya get some points fer it! If we got time after, would ya like ta go get some treats from tha bakery wit me? Ah could use another snack. Plus, ya owes it ta go wit me fer inturuptin' mah lunch," he waved his basket of half eaten food in her direction. "I'm pleased ta hear yer followin' yer dreams. Do ya still keep contact with yer family though? Ya said ya ran away but I jus' wondered."

“Some baked treats sounds nice,” she said with a light smile, but when the question of her family came, that expression faded. “No, and they said they didn’t want me to see me again unless I had a ring on my finger.” She sighed. Usually she was too busy to think about her family, but when they came up, it was hard to let them go. Leaving had been hard, but it was something she felt like she had to go. Selling her soul didn’t sound appealing.

Clancy turned and looked at her then, really looked at her. Hearing that broke his heart; she was going through almost the same thing as he was and yet she still had a brave face on. What did he do? Drink to forget. He reached up and patted her shoulder, feeling deeply for her. Clancy smiled sadly at her, his eyes tearing up a little, "Ah'm sorry ta hear that." He turned away from her to wiped the tears from his eyes. Clearing his throat, he turned to squint ahead of them then pointed, "Tha car's right over there, 'gainst that tree- see it?"

As he patted her shoulder, she turned to look down at him, appreciating his gesture. Her story wasn’t overly sad, at least not in her eyes, but if he was moved by it, she wouldn’t judge him. Men had the right to feel or not feel what they chose.
She followed his pointed hand, seeing the automobile crunched up against a poor tree. Approaching it, she inspected the wreckage, scratching her head as she tried to figure out what to do with it. “Well, how far away do you think the city is from here?”

Clancy, having gotten over his fit of emotion, examined the car with her, "Uh, ah ain't ah good judge of distance... About, two or three miles maybe?" He shook his head as he looked at the wreck, "Ta be honest, ah'm surprised tha bloke managed ta walk away from this. Automobiles are scary stuff if used wrong... Ya aint plannin' on tryin' ta drag it all tha way back ta town. Ya'd have ta be tha She-Hulk ta achieve sucha feet!"

“Uhh…” She looked over the wreck some, wondering about what to do. Her assignment was to find and retrieve the lost car. But how could she get it back to the city? Maybe it still ran.
“Could you help me get it off of the tree at least? Then I can see if it starts up and maybe drive it back. Sorta.” It didn’t look TOO wrecked. Although she really knew nothing about cars. It wouldn’t hurt to try, at least.

The gunsmith gave the car a skeptical look, "Alright, ah can help. Whatcha want me ta do?" If she wanted him to push it off the tree she was out of luck. He was not exactly the bench lifting type.

She scratched her head. What could she even do? “Know anything bout cars? Like how they run or if they can go backwards?” Approaching the hunk of machinery, she pushed against it some, trying to see if it would move at all. It didn’t. Sigh. This wouldn’t be easy.
