First of all, my Ameriminions seem to be having a great time coming up with their opening lines, and I have to say the standard has been superb. There's still ages left to go, of course- the deadline is October 23rd- so keep submitting them in the comment section to the last post. It's all been very impressive so far- some real writers out there, and every few hours I have a new favourite... SO KEEP SUBMITTING!
Here are the things you need to do to be in with a chance of winning:
If you have a Facebook page, you could change your profile pic to the new Tom Percival US cover, then post a link on your Facebook wall to the eBook here http://bit.ly/qNJYCP.
If you're on Twitter, you could tweet (I'm sorry, I'll never be able to take this word seriously) a message out using the following hashtag- #FREESkulduggeryebookUS . It can be about anything connected to the free eBook offer but it must contain a link to the page http://bit.ly/qNJYCP and a request to re-tweet your tweet. Good God. Tweeting, retweeting, hashtags... Does ANYONE understand what the hell I'm talking about?
If you have a different online profile- like MSN, YouTube, Blog, Tumblr, etc- then you could post a status update which includes the cover and the link http://bit.ly/qNJYCP ...
Now, if you do ANY of those things, you MUST tell me in the Comments section to THIS post. Tell me EXACTLY what you've done and you'll be automatically entered into the competition. The closing date is October 31st, the competition is open to EVERYONE in EVERY country (yep, that includes you Ameriminions), and 10 winners will be selected at random by me.
Ready? Set? GO.

@Frank: Nup, no teams this time. :P And no poke backs, silly! ^.^
*wonders if Star's around*
*leaves a poke for her if she joins later :P*
But it's okay in this case because I poked him last.
Oh right, whoops. :P
Then... *pokes Gemma!* XP
y no team ups? ;_; ok *doesn't poke back but instead simply pokes hopey :P*
*pokes Fera, hope, kas, *
*is boiling*
Too damn hot

*pokes Keiron*
Eek! XP
*pokes Raven* Haha! XD
*pokes zana*
*pokes Zaf*
*The black 'ink' remains on her hands, despite how much she has tried to rid herself of it. After a quick moment of hesitation, she steps out of the tree-line and sits on a rock, observing*
Aww, that sucks, Zaf.
Wanna join the poke wars? :) Main rule is no poking the last person who poked you.
*can poke Frank now, so does so* :P
*runs away XD*
*shadow walks behind mem and pokes *
Perdue, would you like to join the poke war? :)
*Pokes Zafira*
*Pokes Keiron*

E-excuse me...?
*pokes Lav*

*Passes ded rights to you*
*Pokes Lav*

Okay guys? If someone doesn't want to, then remember not to poke them. :)
*pokes Gemma and Kassy* ^.^
*scratch that about poking Gem*
*pokes K*
I'm sorry, I don't usually engage in such activities...
*Smiles sadly at Hope*
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Berengaria: Apologies, I did not even introduce myself. I am Berengaria, the goddess of peace, and a general book lover.
*Morgan begins to feel an exquisite calming feeling in Berengaria's presence* Are you looking to find a book or is there some other issue that I can help you with? A political problem, perhaps? Although that would hardly be an issue, because I am allied with Elizabeth's father, and Ember's father is not open to political negotiation. Which means you are either here for a book, or it is something to do with you, stranger. Perhaps both. And it cannot be seeking to return home, because Elizabeth is able to do that. But it is something about returning home, yes? *she tilts her head* You have been to Aztraya, and the damage to your clothing correlates with the attacks from Minerve and her soldiers. Minerve recently left Aztraya, so you were obviously attempting to find her for some reason. Minerve is one of the few people from this dimension who is able to transport people to other timelines. And you have Elizabeth and Ember with you, who no doubt would tell you what a stupid idea it would be to ask Minerve to send you home. Which only leaves two possibilities - You either wished to fight Minerve, which would hardly agree with Elizabeth's morality when it comes to war and fighting, or - more likely - you were sent to this timeline against your will and you were asking Minerve if she knew anything about it, after concluding that she would be the only one malevolent enough to attempt it. I presume, given that you are here, that you were wrong and she did not know anything.
Evelyn: What would you like me to do?
*gestures* come join :p
*pokes Hope*
(Haha pokedd you first, Hope! no poke-backs :P)
*Pokes Star*
*Pokes Keiron*

Dang it.
Sorry, guys. I have to go. ^.^'
Have fun with the game! You guys can end it whenever you like. :)
*hugs Frank*
Talk to you tonight! :)
*hugs everyone else*
Bye guys!
*Pokes Sophia*?
Chi2: Well i guess you could do the dishes that we used for dinner
*pokes Hopey*
(@gem it's cheating when noone can poke you :P I think)
*Pokes Lav goodbye* xD
*Poking queen*
(Lol Keiron. It's only the last person on my list that can't poke me back :3)
Brits did you send me your heat?
I'm in my Zumba clothes to sleep
*hugs hopey* talk to you tonight sweetie :* ^_^
(zaf you're implying we get heat :P)
Liliana: *she laughs more* No! Please!
Parasite: Look after it?
Bethany: I'm not...
Lily: But what's happened has happened... And I'm safe now.
Heat is an odd thing. In where I live, in winter it can reach a low of -8*C and in summer it is usually in the high 40*C area...
*pokes Gem*
*hides in a corner again*
*getting hard to keep poking people*
Evelyn: Yes, of course... Thank you so much for employing me... Even if it's just temporary. *she stands up, smiling, moving to the sink and beginning to fill it with warm water*
*Approaches Zanida Laufeydottir and pulls out a dark purple whisp of light from the side of her head*
This will make you feel better, Miss. Forgive me for the intrusion.
(I give up with the poke war now that Lav isn't here. But i'm pretty sure i won xD)
Chi2: No problem. Still i feel bad emplouing you to clean my house....
Evelyn: I don't really have experience in anything else... I used to work at a supermarket before I was fired, and I cleaned up a lot there... So cleaning's the only thing I'm actually good at. *she begins to scrub the pots*
Chi2: *Groans*
I feel terrible for this...
Evelyn: Please, don't... I have nothing, and I'd starve otherwise. Thank you so much for letting me do this.
Moragn1: *is calmed* *everything seems to slot into place in a way it didn't a moment ago, and he feels peaceful in a way that is normally denied to him* *and also exhausted* *it's a lot harder to fight exhausion when you're calm* *he feels blood trickle out of his nose*
*reluctantly* Please don't do that.
*doesn't take in most of what she says - it's a lot harder to fight to process things when you're relaxed, too*
((Alright. That was a bad idea on multiple levels. :P Oops.))
((Going out soon.))
Berengaria: Apologies. I can lessen it, but not get rid of it entirely. You may have noticed that the air around Minerve felt cold. Some of us have auras which surround us, and mine is just of peace. *the peaceful feeling lessens, but only affects his emotions slightly rather than relaxing his body and mind*
Elizabeth: You were right, Morgan was sent here against his will, and we are trying to find those who sent him here, but we do not have a good idea where to begin. It was Morgan's idea about what we are going to try but... *she gestures for Morgan to explain*
(Starting to post pictures on my Drawing blog now.)
Sil: Okay, but we can only do that if you wash the shampoo out!
Onwa: Yes!
*kisses her neck passionately, continuing to tickle her*
James: Mm..
You are!
Manuel: Safe? You're dead.
Liliana: *she sighs happily, not struggling anymore although she still laughs*
Parasite: Is that alright with you?
Bethany: I'm not...
Lily: I'm not really dead... I'm here. And I'll be back alive soon, hopefully..
*The twins dunk their heads under the water*
The Twins: There.
(Thank you for your comment, Sophia.
I gave up wanting to become a fashion designer when i started art in High School because they forced you to draw things that were so stupid and pointless (which will be my next post). I realised drawing was only a hobby.)
(You are welcome. I never really had an interest in fashion, to be entirely honest. It is sad that your dreams were crushed by your education, though.)
(*nods* That they were. There was a miniature mannequin in a paper dress in the class. I always stared at it, wanting to know how to make the dress. I asked and they said we maybe would. They never did. Next post is up...)
(I have never been much of an artist, but I do not see the point in taking a creative subject if you are allowed no creativity.)
(*pokes Gemma* :P ...you can do anything if you put your mind to it. )
(I will be back soon.)
Sorry I fell asleep!
Getting ready to go out though.... Getting a new phone
iPhone 6
(booo! iphones are ter-e-bley )
Onwa: *smiles, continuing to passionately kiss her neck while tickling her*
James: Of course it is.
(Can the parasite actually have kids?)
You are.
Manuel: I certainly hope so.. if there is any way I can shorten your death period feel free to ask.
I hate Andriods
I love Apple products they do well for me.
Buy an Otterbox case you're all gpod I dropped my 4s so much it still works I just was due for an upgrade and my mom too
(Right.
Battle plan.
Chemistry homework.
Art.
Draw all your lovely faces.
In numerous different media's.
Maybe draw some wings.
While still checking in here.)
Sil: You need to wash it out properly!
(Oh and shower.)
(Well that took forever but practically all of my pictures and drawings are on the Drawing blog now so have fun. I'll try and draw some more soon since i'm so bored and it'll give me something to do.)
(*has accidently elongated stars body xD)
(Lol Jaimie...)
(Yeah um.. oops.
@Gem don't know who you're laughing, I'm drawing you later!)
(Um. *backs away*
Heh. Sorry sis...)
(*grins* Sorry?)
(I loved my Nexus 5 (google phone)
I like my windows phone
I only -used- my ipod because it had the most space for songs but now my new phone has an sd slot so I can have as much space as I need for cheap and it works brilliantly and still has more customizability than an Iphone which is weird because it's windows :P I just hate the restrictions from iphone)
((Omg.
I may need a moment to work out if Morgan's actually okay to continue the whole talking thing or if he a) needs to go bleed or b) needs to go have a minor mental breakdown or c) needs to go fall asleep or d) some combination of the above.
I'm thinking maybe bleeding and minor mental breakdown, regrettably.
Whichever way you play it, it's pretty awkward for me to type. -_- I'm just here like "I'm really sorry for inconveniencing you omg scary don't like attention don't look at me." :P
-_- Why is Morgan such an awkward person to type? ))
(Keiron i just got money. Wanna go out for lunch and a walk tomorrow?)
(Lol hi Star)
Also, @Gemma - I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT ART.
I'm just sat here like "This would be so much more fun if you could just let me draw whatever the f I wanted."
Still in two minds about taking art next year. I mean, I'm good at it and I love it, but it'll be a lot of work and they might just make me do a load of things I don't want to do. :P
That said, art was still one of my favoruite subjects at GCSE. Art is art, after all. And my class was full of wonderful lunatics. I just missed drawing what I wanted. :(
Morgan1, that is. Morgan2 is fine. :)
Hi Gemma! :)
I think my main decision is how much he's affected by the calming prescence being minimised.
. . .
I may need to talk to myself for a moment.
Or pace around my bedroom for a moment.
(Hey star.)
(Yeh :P sounds great :P )
Hey Jai!
Hey Keiron!
(*has draw a quietly content outline of star xD)
(howdy yall :P
how be everyone ?)
@Jai: XD :P :P
@Keiron: :) FIne, thanks. Trying to do too much at once, as per usual. :P
How're you?
(I'm in a bouncy mood :P weirdly hyper-happy :P)
(I'm really good making Super noodles now.
And ikr Star? You should check out my drawing blog.)
@Gemma: :) :) :) Just did. Your drawings are cool. :)
@Keiron: :) That's good.
(should I make an art blog? I need more though... )
((I did have an art blog . . . probably still do. But I haven't paid attention to it in a long time. Because like. School. :P))
(I love my Comic Strip. My Gruvia and Nalu pictures, Hikaru and suburu. And my valduggery one. They're my best drawings i think. Apparently my inoe and ichigo one is good aswell. And my Ft logo. I was so happy at that one.)
(Yeah Keiron, you should make one)
((My best drawings are probably almost definitely my observational portraits, however much I love word art. XD))
( I'll put it in it's own thing on my picture blog :P that makes more sense :P
I'll need to draw more though i still need to finish that destiel pic but it went weird and not the good weird)
(I'd like to see them, Star.
I'll start to draw more too, Keiron :)
(i'm still really proud of that one, of you :P even if not exact I like it :P)
In my figure drawing class, the first half of the year was spent "okay, now some gesture drawings, now a structure drawing, now a contour drawing," and then the second half of the year, we got to work on whatever we wanted, and all the teacher would say was "the model will be in this pose for two twenty-minute sections." You could do one drawing in the time or two, and it didn't matter whether you wanted to do a structure drawing, contour, cross-contour, wash, whether you wanted to use charcoal, pencil, colored pencil, chalk pastel, conte crayons, or even acrylic paint (if you brought your own. There was none supplied for you because it was a drawing class, not a painting one). And for your life-sized self-portrait, you had to use three different mediums, but they could be any three, and you didn't have to only use three.
I really liked the balance of that class. Having particular types of drawings to do in the beginning made sure you learned stuff, and then once you learned stuff, you got to experiment with how to use it. It was really cool.
We had to draw what they told us to. And i didn't like it.
@Gemma: Mmh. None of my portraits are uploaded.
I should probably deal with that, btu I should possibly also deal my music and with Morgan, so y'know, it'll have to join the listen. XD
@Lantern: Mmh. That was probably how my art class was meant to work, if like, we'd actually had a good teaacher. XD
I'm fine doing observational drawings of any kind, because I just love them. I just don't like people telling me how my creative process is supposed to work.
I am, after all, a ISFP. :P
*list
(My 5th year teacher was good for art but I hated Mrs Peaden she gave me a referral for saying that you could totally get high off the fumes from white spirits and that it was bad for my lungs as asthma :P )
@Keiron: Hahahaha our art teacher was assisting boys in our class draw tortured children or whatever, adn was advising them artists to look up and saying that to get first hand resources they should take pictures of some real live children "so long as you don't tell the parents what you do to them."
XD
Oh dear, oh dear.
I miss art . . .
(@Star WHAT'S ARE THERES WHITE BLOB THINGS?!?!)
(geez psychopathic much ?)
(Also *AWKWARD SHADING AREA*)
@Jai: ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
@Keiron: :P
(@Star on your shirt xD)
(here jimmy take this bat, go beat up your younger brother, take a photo and if you get caught, tell your parents it's for an art project so it's all good, alright)
(@K uh..
Whos jimmy?)
@Jai: Ummmmmmmmm they're little birds. :)
You can draw them as dots. XD
@Keiron: XD XD
I think she was more implying they were going to have sex with them, but yeah. XD
(I dunno someone in Stars made up art class in my mind : P)
(Birds?? Oh well. They're blobs now.)
@Jai: Yeah. :) They'll look nice as blobs. :)
(Right. Shower time)
(Wait nope. Brother is making me have a bath instead xD)
(that sounded creepier than intended.)
(What did?)
Hello!
Quick question:
do you guys have maple syrup or do you use golden syrup? Or both!
And besides Sophia putting it on rice crispies what do you use it on?
(both maple is dearer because it comes from canada... )
(We have both but I don't really use any..
Maple syrup on rice crispies?
Hmmm..)
(Both. I have golden more though.
Did you know they started selling pancakes and waffles for breakfast at the school, Keiron?)
(wtf ! that's not fair)
Both!
Pancakes and waffles!
(*hugs gemmy*)
(*Dives in through a wall wielding two mini-SMGs that fire rubber fingers*
*Rolls and comes up on one knee, firing at everyone in sight while shouting "POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKE"*
Liliana: *she sighs happily again, continuing to laugh*
Parasite: Good.
(No, Jaimie, it cannot.)
Bethany: I'm not...
Lily: ... A visit every now and then would be nice?
(*sniffles*
*is here*
*has a cold*)
(*hugs Chloe*)
Onwa: *smiles* Mmm..
James: *nods*
(Okay :) poor parasite.)
Shhhh. You are.
Manuel: *nods* Of course.
(Aww...poor Chloe.
Ok. I think Blake wins.
And yeah Keiron. And they gave some to me for free cause they were going to bin them so i got free breakfast ^.^ they also had maple, golden and stick toffee syrup.)
(*huggle* how art thou?
Rp?)
(*Huggles back* I'm okay. Drawing star, watching top gear, talking to Soph. You?
Sure. You start.)
(Dying slowly? Watching emmerdale
Okay)?
Cole: *watches mark*
Eira; *looks slightly green -9 um... Where is the bathroom?
(Awwwww. Poor you.)
Mark: *growls quietly at him*
Annabelle: Its down the corridor..
(I need a hot toddy)
Cole; *stands still, waiting for attack*
Eira; thans *runs to the bathroom and trips onto her knees besides the toilet and vomits*
(Yeah.. hopefully you'll get one soon!)
Mark: *doesn't feel strong enough to attack*
*stands still, waiting for him to do something*
Annabelle: *frowns*
Hmm..
(But there's no whiskey in the house)
Cole; *looks at the floor* you've been injured
I'm not a cold hearted killer
I'll come back for you when you are strong enough *runs back*
Eira: *dtays by the toilet even after throwing up*
(xD Good!!!)
Mark: *manages to stand strong until he leaves*
*legs buckle and he falls to the floor*
*whines, slipping back into unconsciousness*
(*time skip a week?*)
Annabelle: *doesn't know what to do*
(Okay Jai ^,^)
Eira: *stands up, a bit wobbly*
*walks back to anna* sorry...
*is making. Tea *
(I am also watching Top Gear, Jaimie.)
Liliana: *she bites Onwa's lip hard enough to burst it, grinning*
Parasite: I do not think it is possible for me to get pregnant, however.
Bethany: I'm not, Silente...
Lily: I don't expect daily or anything...
Mark: *is, for the most part, better*
*his speech isn't the best*
*he gets angry a lot because of it*
*and sometimes his muscles twitch for no reason*
*but otherwise he's pretty much fine*
*he prefers being a wolf, less talking*
Annabelle: Its okay.. lets get some tea?
(@Sophi *grins* Top gear is great.)
Onwa: *moans very quietly, smiling*
James: Hmmm.. I suppose that is good
You are.. really Beth.
Manuel: I'll visit whenever I am available.
Cole3 *decides it been enough time and returns to the village *
Eira: *nods+ o okay
(Brb)
Mark: *is strolling around as a wolf*
Annabelle: *leads her to the kitchen*
Jesa: *is still outside with the pups*
(Are you trying to shove it in my face :'( )
(Maybe a little ;)
Rp?)
(I opted for The Dark Knight instead. It is a shame it had a Joker without Harley Quinn, however. It is slightly disappointing. I actually find the film itself slightly disappointing, but it is not bad to watch, I suppose.)
Liliana: *she gently begins to suck the blood from her lip*
Parasite: I suppose it is.
Bethany: I don't think so...
Lily: Thank you... *she hugs him*
(@Gem xD bring her inside!!!)
Copper: *bites Jesa's foot*
*nudges her, asking to play*
(It is sad that it doesn't have Harley. But the Joker is cool.)
Onwa: *sighs happily* Mmm..
James: Mm..
I do.
Manuel: *hugs her back* Its okay.
Eira ; *is led, trying not to fall down the stairs*
Cole: *enters the village *
(Well Anna's kinda been ignoring her and the pups since she saw Cole again.)
Jesa: *runs around Copper and pounces on him*
*bites his tail gently*
Annabelle: *leads her into the kitchen*
Hey inky.
Mark: *doesn't spot him yet*
*grimaces as his muscles twitch randomly*
Copper: *squirms under her, tail thunking against the ground*
(;p Rrecording rn :P sozzie)
*looks frail but puts on a smile* hey Anna
Eira! Nice to meet you
Eira; nice to meet you too
Cole; *goes and stands infront if mark*
Annabelle: Could Eira have some tea inky?
*is confused as to why inky knows Eira*
*has no idea who she actually is*
Mark: *looks at him*
*growls, eyes hardening*
Okay *giggles* actually, we have met... We must have been five though *pours tea*
Eira; *smiles* I remember
Cole: come at me, mark
Annabelle: Oh. Cool..
Mark: *growls louder, refusing to attack him when he's human*
Anna? Tea?
Come : *shifts*
Annabelle: Um.. Sure. Why not.
Mark: *growls*
*still doesn't want to attack..*
*he doesn't want to be the bad guy anymore*
*but he's too proud to give in*
*pors her yea too *
So.. You were another victim ?
Eira: *nods* I may be...
Cole: *growls and pounces*
Annabelle: *sits down, having a sip in silence*
Mark: *attempts to dodge under his attack*
(*Rolls through muttering about damn symmetrical equations with the occasional line of Immortals (since he's listened to it five times straight so far)*)
(*waves at John*)
*huggles eira* I'm sorry... I'm sure Cole would help...
Eira: *shakes*. I'm scared...
Cole: *brushes his side and waits for an attack*
(*Bumps into Jais leg as he rolls*
*Looks up at her*
*Waves*
*Starts rolling back the way he came*, still muttering*)
Annabelle: it'll be okay..
Mark: *he has to step up*
*it's what an alpha does*
*growls and leaps at Cole, aiming for his shoulder*
Eira; I don't think so... I was so weak..
Cole: *dodges*
Annabelle: You weren't weak!
Mark: *lunges for his throat*
Eira; I didn't go after Cole... He could've died and I didn't go...instead I get possible impregnated by that monster!
Cole: *swips at his face*
Annabelle: it wasn't your fault!
Mark: *yelps as Coles claws dig into his skin*
*jerks back, blood in his eyes*
Eira; I I was weak... *holds stomach*
Cole: *goes for his neck*
Jesa: *gets off of Copper*
*pushes the pups inside*
*pads in and sits next 5o Anna's leg*
Annabelle: No. You weren't.
Mark: *yelps, stumbling back, just avoiding the attack*
*growls*
Annabelle: *smiles, stroking Jesa, burying her fingers in her fur*
Do you want a test.,, just to be sure?
Eira: a test?
Cole; *headbutts him*
Hello Bloglandians!
Annabelle: A pregnancy test.
Mark: *winces and growls*
*lunges for him again, a messy lunge*
(Hey dreams!)
Jesa: *turns back into a human and clicks her bracelet, clothes appearing over her body*
*puts her arm round Anna, hand resting on her other shoulder*
Hello Inky.
*regards Eira*
And you are?
Hello Jai, how are you today?
(Hello Audra.)
Annabelle: *smiles, kissing her gently*
(@Dreams meh. I'm okay. You?)
Hello Gemma, how are you?
I am fine, thanks.
(Fine? Mmm.
Wanna rp?)
(I was in a good mood. Now not so much. I don't know why...
*sighs*)
(Hey audra!)
Eira: okay,
One minute *goes to a cupboard and pulls one out and hands it to her*
Cole : dodges with ease*
Annabelle: Just follow the instructions. Jes, that's Eira.
Mark: *narrows his eyes, struggling to see through the blood*
Jesa: *smirks and kisses Anna back briefly*
*public displays aren't really her thing*
Jesa: Eira?
*mutters grumpily*
Stupid name...
Annabelle: Mm..Hey beautiful.
Annabelle: *laughs quietly*
Eira; *nds* okay, hello jesa
Won't be a minute *goes to the bathroom to take the test
Cole:*waits*
Mark: *leaps at him again, aiming for his neck*
;I'm sorry, I am too sick to continue
I'm going now)
(Bye Chloe..)
Jesa: So that's Cole's new mate? They must be perfect for each other. I don't like her either.
*skirks and kisses Anna's head*
*glaces at the pups*
Did Cole go back to figyt Mark again?
(Bye Chloe.)
...
What a thrill ---
My thumb instead of an onion.
The top quite gone
Except for a sort of a hinge
Of skin,
A flap like a hat,
Dead white.
Then that red plush.
Little pilgrim,
The Indian's axed your scalp.
Your turkey wattle
Carpet rolls
Straight from the heart.
I step on it,
Clutching my bottle
Of pink fizz.
A celebration, this is.
Out of a gap
A million soldiers run,
Redcoats, every one.
Whose side are they on?
O my
Homunculus, I am ill.
I have taken a pill to kill
The thin
Papery feeling.
Saboteur,
Kamikaze man ---
The stain on your
Gauze Ku Klux Klan
Babushka
Darkens and tarnishes and when
The balled
Pulp of your heart
Confronts its small
Mill of silence
How you jump ---
Trepanned veteran,
Dirty girl,
Thumb stump.
Now we, returning from the vaulted domes
Of our colossal sleep, come home to find
A tall metropolis of catacombs
Erected down the gangways of our mind.
Green alleys where we reveled have become
The infernal haunt of demon dangers;
Both seraph song and violins are dumb;
Each clock tick consecrates the death of strangers
Backward we traveled to reclaim the day
Before we fell, like Icarus, undone;
All we find are altars in decay
And profane words scrawled black across the sun.
Still, stubbornly we try to crack the nut
In which the riddle of our race is shut.
(*hugs Noelle tightly*)
Annabelle: Yeah, he's off to fight Mark.
*hugs Noelle*
