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

Special invitation to those of who I have not had the pleasure of RPing with! Otherwise open to all. The door shot open and Iacomus stood in the way, posing with one foot in front of the other while leaning nonchalantly on his umbrella. He took a good long look at his surroundings, the dimly lit pub, with it's worn wooden chairs and tables and constant and prominent murmur of voices and clinking glasses. The people around seemed to be of all types, and a few of them stared at his somewhat abrupt and abnormal entrance. He walked inside and sat himself down at a table, a smaller one, and waited for a server to notice his arrival and take his order. He sat near the bar, where a bartender polished long glasses with a white rag and hummed to himself. Iacomus was interested in getting a drink, of course, but first he wanted a meal. It would be nice to have something that he had not cooked himself. He knew someone else who could cook for him, but he thought it would be troublesome towards them if he were to ask. He wanted to spend a night off, and decided to try one of the many pubs in the Theater district. He was planning to see a show at some point, but he was going to go with someone. He was not in the mood for a gentleman's club, as tempting as it might be. This being said, a dinner out was what he chose. A server walked by and he rose his hand to grab her attention. He told her exactly what he wanted: A rare steak and a fruit flavored cocktail. She then went on her way to a table across the room, and with a smile he drummed his fingertips against the table, waiting for his order to arrive.

Zona sat at the far side of the bar with an empty glass in hand, it was her second glass and she was waiting for her third. She's never been to this place before and thought it would be interesting to give it a try, plus she had a little extra money from an earlier pickpocketing, so she thought it would be nice to splurge herself with a few glasses. As she was looking around the place she noticed someone new come in, from the look of the person it seemed to be Iaco but from where Zona was sitting she couldn't really tell. "Might as well see if it is Iacomus, and see if he wants some company." she thought to herself, her third glass just arrived so she grabbed it and began to walk over to where the man sat. Once she was closer she could tell for sure that it was who she thought, "Wow I'm surprised to see just you here." Zona said as she took the empty seat next to him, "I thought you would be by Clancy's, or he be here with you." She said as she took a sip of her drink.

Clancy staggered in, a dazed grin on his face. This was the third pub he had been at tonight; hopefully he would not get kick out of this one as well. The first one he had started a tiny fight because someone called him "shortcake", the second one he had passed out on the table, which in turn made some people think he was dead; so he got thrown out for "scaring the customers." It all was actually quite funny. With a giggle he bumbled his way to the bar counter. "I'd like-ah drink plez. Ah beer will do juuust fine" he called to the bartender. The man gave him a cautious look but shrugged, busying himself with getting the drink. Clancy crossed his arms on the counter and rested his head on them, grinning to himself as he thought of random things.

"Zona! What a splendid surprise!" Iacomus said as his eyes lit up, (whether he was faking it or not is up to you to decide) "Clancy wasn't around, you see, and it's not as if I don't value my alone-time." He chuckled a bit as he waved his hand up and down fluidly "No, you see, I was tuckered out from work and thought that I might come to the theater district to take a load off of sorts. I thought about going to the gentleman's club, but I decided that I would prefer something different this time." Through the side of his gaze, Iacomus could see a familiar pink head over near the bar area. Turning his gaze, he confirmed that it was indeed Clancy, hunched over and giggling to himself on the counter. Had he been out drinking this evening? Iacomus never would have pinned him as someone who drank frequently, but then again, he could see how it could be.
"Well speak of the devil" Zona said a after Iaco had finished speaking, and she looked towards Clancy, "Looks like you two really are inseparable, even if you don't know it." From the way she watched him walk in and the fact that he was giggling to himself clearly showed this was not his first drink. "I wonder how many he's had" Zona thought to herself, it would be rude to leave Iaco, but not right to leave a drunk Clancy alone, "Care to walk with me to see what Clancy is doing?" Zona asked as she gestured towards Clancy.

Iacomus looked around for the waitress (to make sure his food wasn't coming at that time, of course) and nodded to Zona, standing and straitening his jacket as he did. "Did you know he drank?" Iacomus asked her in a hushed voice.

"Not like that..." Zona said as she thought back to when she first met him at Iacos place, and he had a glass or two with them. She didn't see Clancy as the type to do that, but then again it was his life and he could do with it what he wishes. "Did you?" Zona said as she turned to Iaco, wondering if he knew about this, since they were friends longer that she has been with him.

Iacomus pursed his lip and shook his head. "He's going to slowly and painfully murder his liver. Trust me, I've seen the livers of avid drinkers, and I think to myself 'the hell am I supposed to do with this?'" Iacomus grinned and winked "Let's go see if there is a reason for this liver murder, shall we?" and he walked over to the bar and sat next to Clancy, leaning back on the chair and putting his feet up on the counter. "Hey Clance-Clance. Didn't expect to see you here, huh?" He smirked
Clancy looked up with a huge grin "Iaco!! Did you follow me here? I swear, I didn't start that fight" he chuckled, rubbing his bandaged arm some, an amused look on his face "actually, maybe I did, I can't remember... oh well!" The bartender brought the drink over, making Clancy's eyes light up. "Thank ya kindly, Mister!" he chirped out reaching for the drink. He noticed Zona approaching as well "Hiya Zona! Whatcha doin' at tha bar? Lookin' fer a nice fella ta chat with? I spose ya picked tha right bar cause there certainly are some looker's in here" he winked at her, taking a drink of his beer.

"No..." Zona said with a straight face, "I didn't come for that, I came because I wanted a drink and had a bit extra cash with me." She took the last sip of her drink, and called the bartender for another, she had a feeling she would need it. "Why are you here? It seems to me as though you could be good with the drinks... but I'm not really the one to say that." She said as she took a seat next to him as she waited for her drink to come.

Clancy stuck his tongue out at her "Don't act so serious, Z!" Taking another sip of his drink he continued, resting his chin on his hand "And I am here 'cause I want ta be! I ain't got nutin' better ta do. Ma arm hurts from makin' guns all day." He swirled the drink in his cup with a thoughtful look "Plus, it's a special day on tha calendar! It's my baby brother's birthday today! He's 4 years old now!" he chuckled. "What's Iaco doin' here? Just havin' a drink as well? Or is it somethin' else?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow at his dark haired friend.

"Z?!..." Zona said with question to her voice, "No one has ever called me that... I don't know if I like it..." Turned to Iaco and listened to what he said about not being with the family to celebrate, "Ya, why aren't you with them, or at least your brother?" Zona asked along with Iaco.
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!

Clancy let out a short laugh, his smile turning somewhat sad as he continued to stare at the contents of his drink "Why am I not celebratin' out with him? I wish I could. More than anythin' but I ain't exactly welcome there no more. Ta be honest I'd be surprised if he even remembered me" he finished, given his friends a cheerful grin.
