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
Clancy nodded to Iaco, sighing some at his reaction. He turned back to Zona with an apolegatic smile "Sorry... Glad ta hear ya liked him! And great! That'll give me somethin' ta do. Ya can keep tha money, that'll be yer payment for today. Would ya like ta come in? Iaco made me a pie! But first I gotta ask you an important question." Turning he called to Iaco "I'll be back in a sec, 'kay?" and with that he stepped out with Zona, closing the door behind him as well. Turning slowly back to face her he gave her a desperate look "Did me and Iaco really ki...." He couldn't even get the word out. "I have this hazy memory; maybe it was a dream, God I hope it was a dream" he rambled on, a frantic look in his eyes. "Ya were there too so I thought maybe you knew?" He prayed that it really had not happened. He prayed that it really did. These conflicting emotions were going to tear him to part.

Surprised that Clancy was going to let her keep the money shocked her a bit, "Really? ..But this is yours... But if you really want me to have it..." Zona said as she looked at the money, this was more than she made on a good night out pickpocketing, suddenly Clancy came out of the house and was next to Zona. She was surprised that he was asking this and didn't remember what happened, "Yes you kissed Iaco." She said with a straight face not really sure how to react to this, "But he didn't stop the kiss, he kissed back. Why did he ask about it... About you two?" Zona asked wondering what happened when she was out.
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)
At her confirmation of the event, Clancy buried his face in his hands. It had really happened. He did not know whether to be terrified or overjoyed. "Oh ma God, what am I gonna do. This might ruin everything. Why do I gotta always be so stupid!" he groaned, moving his hands up to tangle in his hair. "No, he ain't mentioned it or nuthin'. Maybe he fergot about it. That would be for the best. Gah, I'd been so careful. And just one night I've managed to mess everything up." He whimpered, staring at the ground with a devastated look as he let his hands drop to his sides. Don't get him wrong, he was beyond happy about it but the threat of Iaco knowing... Knowing his secret and leaving him because of it... It was too much to think about... He felt like his heart was going to shatter at the possibility.
Wat. Get ahold of yourself. What was he doing, getting so emotional in front of Zona. He was inconveniencing her and that was not okay. Clancy coughed, shook his head then looked up at her with a crooked smile. "Aha, sorry bout all that! I'll figure it out myself! Ya don' need ta get inconvenienced by getting involved in ma problems. Sorry" he apologized in a shaky voice.

Zona just stood there and listened to her friend, she didn't know what to do for him but she needed to do something. "No, your not inconveniencing me. And when it comes to something like this its good to talk it out with someone else." Zona said as she took a step closer to Clancy and put a hand on his shoulder, "Now I understand how you may see this as a problem, but from everything I've seen happen between you two I don't think he would leave you for no good reason. He really does care for you..." Zona wasn't good with words but she was trying her best to comfort Clancy, "The way he looks at you, the way he talks to you... Everything he does for you, he does it in a way that..." Zona didn't know how to say it, she didn't know if she was saying it right, she didn't even know if it was working, "I'm not good with words so I'll just say it." She gave up on trying to say it nicely... She couldn't do that, "Who cares what happened, so what you kissed him. But you shouldn't be upset about it you should be proud, happy you did it, glad you had the courage to go for it. And ya know what it paid off, he didn't pull away or stop the kiss, No!! He continued it!! So you know what!! I say you go just go for it! Besides if he does, for some really odd reason, say no, isn't it better to have tried and lost than to never have tried at all?... I mean you did get something out of it, not nothing." Zona said as she looked at Clancy not sure if what she said helped.
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)
Clancy listened to her, the smile on his face turning sad. Why was he getting all worked up. Iaco did seem to receive him well. But it might have just been convenient at the time for him. "I wish I could get rid of this fear but I just can't Zona. Every time I've had enough courage ta tell tha people I care about who I really am... they've just pushed me away... I don' wanna be left alone with nothing but memories of those who've left me anymore." He rubbed his eye, wiping away the small tear that appeared. "But if this really is real.. I'll peruse it with all ma heart, I can promise ya that." he added with a happy grin. For now, he would tread lightly and not bring up the subject. "Thanks fer yer help Zona. An thanks fer not gettin' weirded out by all... this."

"Why would you think I would be weirded out?" Zona asked with a smile and a little laugh, seeing her friend not as upset as before, "I know I'm not one for words but when it comes to someone I care for I'll do anything I can to help... Even if it doesn't always make sense... Like what I would try to say." Zona said as she added a small chuckle after it. She became a bit more serious and said, "I get you cant make fear go way, no one can, but that doesn't mean you cant push it aside and say 'I'm in control for a minute'..." Zona knew she was wording this wrong and that it most likely wasn't making any sense to Clancy, "What I mean to say is don't let fear control your life. We aren't here forever and need to make every moment count!" She looked at him with a gentle smile, thinking that sounded ok and made some sense.
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)
Clancy laughed softly "Yer ah nice girl, Zona. Most people these days ain't to thrilled about people like me" he explained with a soft smile. "It's very rare ta find someone as acceptin' as ya- well, at least in my case that has been true." He shrugged. "I'll try ta keep that piece of advice in mind. Thanks Zona, I 'preciate it" he replied honestly with a smile. "I better get back inside before Iaco think's I ran away on 'im" he chuckled some, pointing at the door behind him. "Thanks fer everythin' taday! That was the only order I needed delieved today but I probably will have more tomorrow. Be here around tha afternoon or early morning. 'Kay?" He paused then gave her a quick hug "Really, thanks fer everythin'. I feel loads better now" he pulled away with his usual chipper smile.

"I'm glad I could help!" Zona said with a smile as her friend gave her a quick hug and gestured towards the door, "I'll always be here when ya need me!" She started to turn away ready to leave, "And I'll be her early tomorrow mornin' ready to work!" She said with a large smile really rather happy she was able to help her friend. As she turned and began to head back home she turn just a little to wave good bye before she turned back around and headed off.
Zona gone for now until the next day... if that happens...

"Clancy?" Iacomus called in from the other room, "How do you turn this thing on?" he said, referring to the hot water heater ".... Why is the tea in the same cabinet as the drain cleaner? Oh my..." At this point, Iacomus was less making tea than he was looking at the mess that was the room. "There is mold growing on the ceiling, Clancy! I worry for your health!"
Clancy waved goodbye, grinning as he walked back into his house. "Sorry 'bout that Iaco! I just hired Zona so we had ta chat about stuff and what not, ya know? She went home for tha day so it's just you and me! How about that pie! I'm starvin'! I fergot to eat breakfast again..." He babbled, trying to get rid of some of his nervous energy as he shut the door behind him.

Iacomus emerged at the door with his coat and hat off holding the bottle of drain cleaner in one hand and the tea in the other. "Clancy, you have to eat something in the mornings! It gives you energy for the rest of the day!... However, do you mind if, after we eat, I help you a bit with um... cleaning your house, a bit?" He walked back in the other room and set down the two things he was holding on to, then walked back out. "I must admit that I'm somewhat proud of this pie! It actually looks like a pie..." Iaco chuckled. He figured it probably tasted pretty good too, but who knew? Nobody else ever ate his food.
"Oh I do hope ya didn't put none of that stuff in the tea. I don' think it would taste so good then.." he laughed, pointing at the drain cleaner. Clancy just blinked at him as he sat down. "Clean? ain't it already clean??" he asked, an innocent smile on his face. Sure, it was not a palace but... surly it wasn't that bad! Maybe it was... Shrugging Clancy cut into the pie and serve himself and Iaco a piece. "Thanks again fer tha pie! It does look delicious!" he chirped, picking up his fork and taking a bite of the pie...would you like me to flip a coin on how he reacts? Pick a side. If you're right, it's good. If yer not... well...

Iacomus chuckled "I don't know, I feel like it might have a sort of burning sensation, sort of like peppers, maybe. I kid, of course" He set down the tea and the cleaning supplies and watched as Clancy took a bit of his pie. Um.. Tails!
Clancy's face lit up with delight. "Oh Ma God Iaco, this is amazin'!!! Were didja learn ta cook like this?!" he gushed in between bites. The pie was the best he had ever had. He savored each bite, sighing with pleasure. "Ya just made ma day with this here pie Iaco!" he purred, getting another slice for himself.Twas tails X3

Iacomus sat next to him and rested his cheek on his hand, then raised his eyebrows in a sort of false manner. "oh? You really think so?" hee hee adrobz
