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
Woman bent down. Saddened, a bit. Voice, happy, but tinge, there at the end. Maybe not in voice. In expression. Crouched down with. Leaned against back, face on shoulder. Looked at cheek. Kissed surface. “Mala likes Zona. Play again, yes. Fun.” Nuzzled shoulder. Didn’t know bear, but understood. And friends— Sava spoke of them before. Mala and Sava, friends. Zona and Mala, though. Unsure. “Zona, Mala, friends?” Mala questioned, leaning forward.

"Ya of course we are friends." Zona said with a smile as she grabbed one more hand full of a different greens. Looking over to what Mala had collected Zona thought it would be the best to head back and start cooking, "Well I have enough greens, if you want maybe grab a few more pieces of wood then come on back. I'm going to start getting the deer ready." Zona said as she began to turn around to head back, "Don't take too long ok?" She said with a smile.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me!

Friends. Brightened, smiled. Bashfully backed away. Nodded. Got up, and ran deeper into forest. Search for more sticks. Picked up, hands full. Stopped. Face, hot. Shook head. Sniffed air, searched for way back. Not hard. Followed footsteps, sound of Zona. Stopped behind bushes. Gazed. Hair, blue. Not different, but seemed different. Body, even more beautiful then before. Mala smiled. Tilted head. Walked in, arms, full with sticks.
“Brought.” Dropping them near Zona, she crouched, removing the cloth from her neck. Shook, more sticks, appearing. Looked to Zona, head craned to side, expecting orders.

"Nice job." Zona said with a smile as she dropped some of the greens next to the deer before turning back around to start setting up the wood, "So do you know pyro or do I need to pull out a match?" She asked turning back around to work on the deer some, after all no one really wants to eat the fur, but it wasn't like she was going to toss the stuff, after all she could get a pretty penny for skins like this. "Is there anythin' else you wanted to have with this?" Zona asked as she finished preparing the deer, pulling out the birds and rabbit to prepare them as well.

Pyro? Scrunched face. Looked at other. What mean? Shrugged. Watched as the other cut. Wanted to join. Blood, glistening from animal. Flesh, pink. Wanted to know, to cut open the animal, remove the organs. Proper way. Inclined head. Fire. Needed fire. Looked for stones. Stick. Anything. Found. Rubbed together. Continued, in small bed of grass- dry. Until, spark. Until, small light. Held up flame to Zona. Unsure of what to do. Held out flame. “Hot.”

"Nice." Zona said with a smile as she turned to see what the girl had done. Whether she knew how to make a fire or just used magic didn't matter, all that did was that there was a fire that needed some logs to burn. "Throw that on the pile and grab some more of that dried grass. We need the fire to catch and start burning those pieces of wood." Zona said as she finished up the last of the meat, cutting them all down to manageable sizes along with pocking them with long sticks. Once the fire caught then all the two would have to do is wait, after all though some my like raw meat Zona was always one for the stuff cooked, at least a little bit.

Followed orders. Threw flame onto grass. Blew onto it. Watched flames grow, dance, consuming air, grass. Growing, building. Covered flame, let it breathe. Protected it. Once strong, drew away. Looked to Zona, unsure of what else to do. Talk. Strangers like to talk. Sava, liked talking. “More.” Mala started, drawing a bit closer to Zona. “Tell more of Zona.”

Zona sat down after she propped up the pieces of meat, making sure they had just enough heat and flame to cook them. Leaning back some she looked over to the woman as she said something, "More?" Zona questioned, somewhat confused at what the girl meant, "You want to know more about me?" Zona asked, smiling and chuckling some. Not many people asked about her... "Well... What all do ya want to know?" She asked with a smile not really knowing what to tell and what not to tell. Besides she had no idea what the woman wanted to hear about.

Sat across form Zona, fire, separating. Looked over, looked into eyes, contemplated. Looked to the sky, then laid down. Continued to stare at her, then closed eyes. “Everything.” Rolled over onto back, calmed breath. “Anything.”

"Well then where to start..." Zona said as she grabbed a nearby stick and started poking at the fire some, watching it grow and shrink, move and breath. "I guess I can say that even though I wasn't born in or really anywhere near Lodan I've lived here almost my whole life, give or take a few years." Zona said as she pulled the stick away and watched as the end of it caught on fire. Blowing at it some the flame went out, "I grew up on the streets so fightin' is somethin' I know well. I learned how to use a bow a year or two ago after seein' someone else use it. I don't know I just really liked it and thought it was interestin'." Zona added pocking at the fire again, pausing a moment to take a breath and see if the girl had any questions.

Watched fire climb. Watched Zona bend fire, make it move, dance. Flames inched up stick, as if hungry, wanting to touch Zona. Mala reached out toward the other. Touched fire. Rolled hand. Let flames touch, dance between fingers. Listened. Voice, calm. Distant. “Who?” Flame rolled, caught. Warmed body. “Who showed?”

"Well... I don't know if showed is the right word, but I saw this guy do it. I don't remember what his name was I just know he was a slave trader, or maybe the henchman of the trader... I don't remember for sure. All I know is that he tried to use that to off me and in the end that was his downfall. I took it and since then I just couldn't get enough." Zona said as she tried to remember the mans face, it was a bit blurry but she did remember that night rather well after all it was her trial night for joining the guild. "Well... Ummm... What else? What all do you want to know, cuz I don't really know what else to say." Zona said as she poked at the fire again, unsure of what to do or say.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me!

Slave trader. Word sounded familiar. Unsure. Didn’t like. Inched closer to Zona, warmth of fire, nice. Wanted to see more of Zona, of fighting— of stick, of bow, and stone piercing flesh. Strong, beautiful, elegant. Nice. Listened. Asked for more. Mala watched. Looked at breathing, at tattoos. Made independent, but also, alone. "is Zona alone?” Mala asked aloud.

What the girl said next surprised Zona some, though she should have expected that. The story was a long one and she wasn't really sure if she wanted to tell it all, she would say a little bit and leave it at that, if Mala wanted to know more she would tell, if not that's where it would be left. "Ya... Zona is alone." She said as she looked into the fire, no longer poking it just looking at it. "I mean I have friends but... I don't have another..." She sighed some, rubbing the back of her neck some, "I had one, but he's long gone now. Won't be seein' him any time too soon..." She added going back to poking the fire.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me! Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss! Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me! -Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)
Tilted head, confused, but Zona’s voice— so soft. Pained? Distanced? Didn’t like sound, didn’t like feeling that ran into body. Mala leaned up, looked into fire, looked at Zona, searching for what Zona saw. “Why?” Mala asked, scooting closer. “Why gone? Is dead?”
