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
Howl didn't know what to say after he heard the twins bickering "I guess my trail i-isn't over yet so I don't wanna say anything" An awkward silence fell in and for a while it was just tier foot steps on the dirt. Then the machine sound came, it was loud and clanking over in the distance. "D-Do you guys hear that?" Howl said "Is it following us? We would be leading it right to the HQ.... We should find Lasair he should be able to send this thing away..." Howl turned and started walking away from HQ, the sound came from the right so with any luck it wouldn't run into them. Howl imagined the giant metal thing chasing them, he broke into a jog.

Though the silence was awkward it was nice, with what had happened that night the silence was something that could be welcomed. Though that was soon broken as the metal foot step began to grow a bit. The twins perked up some as the sound changed. The both turned their attention to Howl as the kid began to spew words left and right, before walking off and breaking into a jog.
"Hey!" Emelo said as he to broke off into a jog as he caught up to Howl, "Maybe that thing isn't following us." Emelo said as he reached out and place a hand on Howls shoulder, slowly stopping the two, "Before we go running off, maybe we should find out exactly where that thing is. It may not even know we are here. If it does then we get Lasair, if not we lead it away form the HQ without it seeing us." Emelo said as he looked around some, trying to pinpoint where the metal man was.
"What the hell... I thought we were done..." Leo said to himself as he followed behind the group.

Lasair walked quickly through the trees as he went back to the base. The army forces had been dealt with; when and if they recover, they wouldn’t be moving on to attack the city any time soon. Spotting a splotch of white color, Lasair recognized it as one of the twin’s mask and went over, his own mask still shining in the sparse moonlight that filtered down through the trees. He looked to Howl and say the younger member’s distress, through posture instead of facial expression. Opening his mouth to ask what was wrong, he closed it again as he could faintly hear the footsteps. Much too close for his liking.
“Howl,” Lasair said evenly, a small smile on his face. “I think that walker is starting to feel the heat. Maybe you should go cool it off some. Especially around the knee joints.” What, they thought the trial was over already? There was always something more in store, Lasair needed to evaluate all of Howl’s skills, after all.
When Howl finally found lasair he was shock to hear what he had to say. He had no idea what to say or how to respond. It was obvious what he was hinting at with the walker but even thinking about doing such a thing was insanity. "A-Are you serious... I-I can't..." Howl walked away slightly and sat down on the ground with his hands on his head thinking about the many things that could go wrong. He couldn't bring himself to get up or move, all he could do was sit there.

The two were glad to see that Lasair was ok, but what happened to Howl next shocked the twins a bit. The kid just seemed to freeze... He just ended up sitting on the ground frozen, not moving, doing, or saying anything.
"Howl?" Emelo asked as he stepped forward some, looking at the boy sitting on the ground.
Leo just stood back for a moment. The kid was having some kind of break down... Really? Here?! Now!? His trial was happening and he looked like he was going to burst into tears any moment. He sighed slightly as he walked past his brother and bent down to Howl's level. He raised his hands and ripped the boys shoulder. Leo looked him straight in the eyes as he drew his hand back and threw it forward. SLAP! Leo was done with this, and hopefully this would slap some sense into this kid. "Would you get a hold of yourself?! Get out there, take care of that thing, then we can leave. Got it?" Leo said as he stood up and stared at the boy. Leo was done right now.
Emelo stood there with a shocked look on his face. He knew his brother wanted to go home, but man... He just slapped the poor guy.
"If your not goin' to stop that thing then I will..." Leo said in a monotone voice. He was ready to go home.
Howl was completely stunned by the slap, but it did wake him up from his panic attack. "Alright i'm better now.... don't slap me again please..." Howl got up and dusted himself off. He was very embarrassed after the small mental breakdown and did not want to see how Lasair would react so without looking back he said "I-I will g... er... take care of it now..." and he walked on towards the loud clanking sound off in the distance. Howl tried his best to not think about the impending doom of in the distance and think more of going home.
Howl neared the walker, he could see a shadow it walking away from him. Howl crouched down and drew up as much water as he could into the crook of his staff and held it here. I need to learn more powerful magic. Howl walked slowly up to the walker completely over the machines loud walking. The man piloting the giant thing was facing away from him so he never noticed Howl sneaking up. Howl summoned up his magic through his staff and base ball swung his staff into the knee joint, letting the water flow through the joint before freezing it all the way through. It apparently worked as when the giant metal thing went to take another step it teeter-tottered and fell crashing onto the ground sending gears and parts flying. Howl yelled and jumped out of the way. The man apparently had the same idea and jumped out and landed half on top of howl. He had the wind knocked out of him and the world spun around him. All Howl could do was scream "HELP!".

Balking in the face of pressure? Lasair pressed his lips together and shook his head, about to step up and relieve Howl of the task, but the twins had other ideas. They slapped some sense into the boy and he got up, albeit a little shakily. Odd methods, but if they worked, then they worked. This was an intense mission, yes. Fire, guns, soldiers aiming to kill, but if Howl could excel in this, then in any future challenge, he should be able to take it in stride. Lasair decided to watch, just in case. The boy was aging a few years tonight, yes, but that didn’t mean he needed to get himself killed.
So, from the background, Lasair watched Howl move, prowl even, up to the walker. And then, as he struck it, Lasair was quite surprised with the results. The walker went to take another step and it couldn’t. It ended with a crash and, unfortunately for Howl, a confused Svede atop him. The man was busy swearing in his native tongue as Lasair walked off and pulled him off, pushing the man to the side to help Howl up. Once Howl was on his feet, he looked back at the confused soldier, cobalt eyes reflecting the moonlight from behind his golden mask. What was he going to do? What were his other members going to do? It was a question indeed.
