Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

Eve the ROCK said...

No one has been here when I was on all day.

That sucks.

Eve the ROCK said...

*hisses* Ow.

Sparky Braginski said...

No offense Gab, but you suck at spells.

Gabriel said...

Gabriel said...

HeyEve.

I challenged you Sparky.

Zathract Mist said...

*trudges over to the super dryer*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Mist! *doesnt hug because self is covered in sand*

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Eve!

*doesnt hug because self is drenched*

*dries and leaps out of the super dryer*

Eve the ROCK said...

What happened to you?

Eve the ROCK said...

*stares* NO! MY BIG BROTHER GOT THE ELDER WAND! NOT ALDER! ELDER!!!

Zathract Mist said...

*mutters something about the car breaking down in a storm*

Sparky Braginski said...

What's your brother called?

Zathract Mist said...

Meh. It's made of elder, doesn't really mean its the Elder Wand.

Eve the ROCK said...

Aw. That mustve been terrible. I had to sit next tiny dog in the car, which is just as bad. *gestures to slobbering dog*

Eve the ROCK said...

*to my

Doesn't make a difference. He thinks he's all powerful now. *sighs*

Gabriel said...

I have a Dragon Core.

Eve the ROCK said...

Ack. He's a Ravenclaw.

Zathract Mist said...

Kaha!

Slytherin is still in the lead!

*is on a computer now*

Gabriel said...

Ravenclaw is the best!

Gabriel said...

AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN "ACK. HE'S IN RAVENCLAW."

EVE???

Zathract Mist said...

*boos Ravenclaw*

Eve the ROCK said...

My big brother. He's in Ravenclaw, like he wanted, and now, since he found out the animal isn't a raven, it's an eagle, he wants to be a Slytherin. He's so annoying.

Gabriel said...

...

sHUT UP mIST.

Gabriel said...

...

Yeah..

He should get a new account. Then answer the questions differently so he can be in Slytherin. Just answer it differently but don't go to Ravenclaw.

It's not I like I don't want him in Ravenclaw...

Gabriel said...

Mist I challenged you!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Nah. I think slamming the laptop lid closed when he copulent brew a potion pretty much confirmed his resignation as a Pottermore player.

Eve the ROCK said...

*couldnt

Stupid keyboard...

Gabriel said...

Okay. Then.

*satisfied*

Gabriel said...

What spells do you use, Eve?

Eve the ROCK said...

Not telling! Not telling a Ravenclaw!

Gabriel said...

Okay.... I'm not Telling you then. Not telling a Hufflepuff.. lol that sounds funny.

Hufflepuff suits you, Eve.

Eve the ROCK said...

Course Hufflepuff suits me. I was destined to be a Hufflepuff.

Gabriel said...

Right,...

And I always knew I'm a Ravenclaw.

Eve the ROCK said...

*nods*

Eve the ROCK said...

*brandishes awesome Hufflepuff pen*

Eve the ROCK said...

Msd OR I'll be distant.

:(

Eve the ROCK said...

Actually brb

Gabriel said...

Msd and brb for me.

Sparky Braginski said...

I never knew what house I was going to be in...

The only unanimous decision was 'Not Slytherin.'

...Huh.

Eve the ROCK said...

I've always been a Hufflepuff. How I know this:

I love the cute little badger.

I love the name.

Every Harry Potter sorting thing (even the ones that just pick randomly for you) have put me in Hufflepuff.


It was no surprise when I was sorted into Hufflepuff.

NO SURPRISE AT ALL.

Plus, look at my Hufflepuff pen! *shows everyone Hufflepuff pen*

Gabriel said...

Bye Guys..

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Gab.

Sparky Braginski said...

Zathract Mist said...

Sparky Braginski said...

*is on floor laughing so hard I'm nearly crying*

Zathract Mist said...

My brother had better not be in Slyth...

Lavender Hope said...

Anyone there?

Sparky Braginski said...

Hi Lav!

*still laughing*

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Sparky. :)

What's so funny?

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people!

*has only got 45 minutes, then SCHOOL:(*

Zathract Mist said...

What is so funny, Sparky...?

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Star! :)

Star Inkbright said...

*is waiting for sparky's answer*

Eve the ROCK said...

Back!

Star Inkbright said...

Lavender, you qre lucky having internet school. You don't have to wear uniform and you get to be here at the same time.

Star Inkbright said...

WB eve!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Eve!

Yeah... it's okay.

Star Inkbright said...

What age do you start school, in america?

We start Reception at fours years old . . . Reception's 4-5.

Zathract Mist said...

Yay!

*hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

Hey Star and Eve. I read those comments about The Voice. It IS different from Australia and England.

The judges are, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton.

Don't think you know them though.

Star Inkbright said...

*growls* my stupid phone keeps randomly shutting all the windows . . .

Star Inkbright said...

No, we don't, lavender.

In the uk, the voice is a pretty new thing.

Eve the ROCK said...

*smiles and hugs him back*

Lavender Hope said...

If Reception is like Preschool, then it's the same.

Kindergarten starts when you're 6 or so...

Funny how different things are, depending on where you are.

Sparky Braginski said...

First?

Lavender Hope said...

I'm not sure how new the voice is in America, but I just started watching it last year. So it's still pretty new to me too.

Sparky Braginski said...

First now?

Sparky Braginski said...

Now???

Eve the ROCK said...

They were in the last season of the Voice that was playing in Australia. Now we've actually got one ourselves.

Sparky Braginski said...

1st!

Eve the ROCK said...

1st

Lavender Hope said...

Wait...

*looks up the voice*

Yeah, it's only on it's second season this year. So it's new.

Lavender Hope said...

So Eve, you DO know those judges?

Eve the ROCK said...

Yep. But I only started watching the Voice last week, so I didn't see that season. Saw plenty of it in ads anyway.

Zathract Mist said...

Sever,
Now and forever,
You're just another lost soul about to be mine again,
See her?
You'll never free her,
You must surrender it all if you'd like to meet again...


Dedicate, Sparky.

Eve the ROCK said...

We don't have preschool here. Only kindergarten when you're four or something, and reception is the first year of primary school. Then it's year one.

Lavender Hope said...

Ah. Okay, Eve. Cool. :)

Sparky Braginski said...

Why do I have to dedicate now Zathract?

Star Inkbright said...

No. We have, like, preschool/nursery/whatever, 2/3/4 whatever,

In primary school:

Reception, (which is properly part of the primary school) 4-5
Year 1, 5-6 (key stage 1)
Year 2, 6-7 (keystage 1)
Year 3, 7-8 (KS2)
Year 4, 8-9 (KS2)
Year 5, 9-10 (KS2)
Year 6, 10-11 (KS2)

Then in secondary school:

Year 7, 11-12 (KS3)
Year 8, 12-13 (KS3)
Year 9, 13-14 (KS3)
Year 10, 14-15 (KS4)
Year 11, 15-16 (KS4)

Then there is TECHNICALLY morw stuff, like in our school we have a sixth form collage joined on (Y12-Y13), but that corvers basic primary and secondary . . . No middle school.

Lavender Hope said...

*is looking at Pottermore friend requests*

Anyone know who SandSparks, SkySeeker, and JinxScarlet are?

Star Inkbright said...

We have no kindergarten.

Star Inkbright said...

No lavender, sorry.

Eve the ROCK said...

We don't have middle school either.

Lav, some people just send requests to everyone. I've hot, like, 34

Eve the ROCK said...

*got

Zathract Mist said...

*looks at Eve*

...Well, HERE we DO have Pre-Schools.

Eve the ROCK said...

*does thriller dance*

Not that I know the Thriller dance, but anyway.

Eve the ROCK said...

That's why I said 'here' instead of Australia. With your whacky system of high school starting in year 7, who knows what other differences we might have?

Don't take offense to that, by the way. Everything is whacky today. It's whacky Tuesday. :D

Star Inkbright said...

Twenty more minutes till i have to get ready for school . . . Leaving the house in an hour and twenty . . . Getting off the bus in about an hour and fifty . . . Going in in two hours and five . . .

Star Inkbright said...

No, your system is just all fuzzled eve. High school in seven, all over england.

And, we had preschools up here, but down in Ipswitch i never remember there being any at all . . .

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. Well, that's really different, Star.

Our school's kinda like this:

Primary school:
Kindergarten 6-7
First Grade 7-8
Second Grade 8-9
Third Grade 9-10
Fourth Grade 10-11
Fifth Grade 11-12

Middle school
Sixth Grade(some schools have in primary) 12-13
Seventh Grade 13-14
Eighth Grade 14-15

High School:
Ninth Grade 15-16
Tenth Grade 16-17
Eleventh Grade 17-18
Twelfth Grade 18-19

Eve the ROCK said...

But year 6s can't lead a school! That's insane!

*runs into a wall*

Lavender Hope said...

We don't call them years. We call them grades. And the numbers are how old you are when you're in that grade.

Zathract Mist said...

My brother is about to be Sorted...

He had better not be in Slytherin...

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at lavender's chart*

Huh. Same age we leave school, 19. Well . . . Our huge, fancy school with a sixth form collage. And then there's still university and stuff . . .

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins* What do you think he'll be in?

Lavender Hope said...

All the fried requests on Pottermore I've got are either from the US or UK.

Hufflepuff or Gryffindor.

Zathract Mist said...

We managed last year.

Easily.

Lavender Hope said...

*friend

Zathract Mist said...

Adelaide is the only place I've heard of that has Primary from K - 7 and High from 8 - 12...

HA! HE'S IN GRYFFINDOR! HAHAHAHA!

Star Inkbright said...

We were bad at leading a school in year six, eve. We were, like, a pretty bad class, and we got a few of,our priveliges taken away, and threats of more being taken . . .

Lynxia Lost said...

Just saying I might be on later... Right now, I need to get breakfast. See you all on an hour-ish.

Star Inkbright said...

Me too. Never heard of high starting in 8 . . .

@lavender: i have tons of slytherins. Robin and zath and flame.

And a hufflepuff, eve.

Abd a ravenclaw, gab.

And gryffindors, you and L.

Eve the ROCK said...

Gryffindor! Party more!

Hufflepuff! Wizard stuff!

Ravenclaw! Hell naw!

Pretty sure that's everybody!

Star Inkbright said...

May the fours be with you lynxia!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Lynxia

Lavender Hope said...

Found out who they are.

Robin's blog.

Kay, Shads. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Hell naw?

As in, hell no in a funny accent?

In a hull accent, no is more like ner.

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, it was in Harry Potter Puppet Pals. :D

Sparky Braginski said...

I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL LYNX!!!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

What's wrong with Gryffindor, Mist? Besides them apparently being wannabe Slytherins?

Star Inkbright said...

My and my friends used to like saying things in a hull accent, to make fun of it, you know.

Like, mate. No proper T, just, like, a half T . . . You have to hear it really, mate is sunnat like mer or mert, at least.

City, ci'y.

Star Inkbright said...

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Gtg:(

May the fours be with you all.

Lavender Hope said...

*is practicing spells now*

Wish we could unlock the rest.

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Star!

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Star!

Eve the ROCK said...

...

*holds wombat*

Eve the ROCK said...

*is listening to Crack a Bottle*

Lavender Hope said...

*has finished dueling*

Here fully now...

But I don't think everyone else is...

Eve the ROCK said...

I am. I don't know if Mist is... :(

Lavender Hope said...

Probably playing Pottermore.

I bet Sparky is too.

Zathract Mist said...

*hurls dagger at a tree*

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah. I cant play Pottermore, I have to get these thirty songs for my friend.

Eve the ROCK said...

....You okay, Mist?

Zathract Mist said...

Yup. :D

Lavender Hope said...

Okay then.

Eve the ROCK said...

Just preparing yourself for Dagger Apocalypse?

Sparky Braginski said...

Nup, I'm writing, swearing and cursing Pottermore for not having Book Two.

But the Pottermore tab is not open.

It. Is. Not. Open.

But I can still say this-

GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAWR!!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh..

Lavender Hope said...

Ah, okay then, Sparky.

Know that song, Eve. :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Everyone knows that song! It's the anthem for rainy days!

I think.

Zathract Mist said...

...

*sighs*

Okay, this might not be a good time to say this, but I doubt there IS a good time.
Basically, I used up $100 of Internet data in two months. My parents aren't happy. Well, actually, they're not really in "I'm going to kill you" mode, but they aren't impressed and have told me I need to watch how I use my phone.
So THIS means I don't have any more data on my phone which means that after my dad turns off the internet at night, I'll be gone until it goes back on again in the morning (duh). But there's no telling WHEN it will go back on or WHEN it will turn off. My dad's weird like that.

So THAT means that my time on here will not only be limited now, but it will also be...unorganized.
Also, my dad isn't too eager to recharge my Phone Data/Plan/Thing, so chances are...I forget what the chances are on something...
ANYWAY, my phone probably won't have data again until School starts again which brings me to ANOTHER issue.
I have decided that I'm not going to be on during School Hours. I'll be online after school and after school only. Excluding the weekends of course. The reason being is I haven't exactly dropped behind in my school work, but I can see I will if I continue spending so much time on here, especially during class time.


So...basically I'm not going to be here much anymore, and I'm permanently on MSD mode whenever I AM here.
Take that information how you like.

Nixion Strange said...

i know how you feel Mist
Hi, btw

Zathract Mist said...

Hi, Nix.

Eve the ROCK said...

...Aw. :(

Okay. *hugs him*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix

Zathract Mist said...

*hugs back*

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, by the way, chances are this won't even last a day. With the whole "only here after school" thing I mean. I'll get bored on the first day back and be here during Maths class, I swear.

*rolls eyes at self*

Zathract Mist said...

If I get my phone data recharged, I mean...

Eve the ROCK said...

Mm, well, I wont be on at school...

Is it still the same when you get the data back?

Lynxia Lost said...

Here but distant.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Nix.

*doesn't know what to say about Mist's dilemma*

Just that I hope it won't last long...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi and okay, Shadow. :)

Zathract Mist said...

You mean the MSD thing? Nah, if I get my data back then I'll just switch to phone internet when my dad turns off the modem.

Hi, Lynxia. Sparky sent you an email btw.

Sparky Braginski said...

I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL LYNX!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Lynxia

*smiles* Good.

Lynxia Lost said...

Email? Will check when i can.

Sparky Braginski said...

You can't now?

Thanks for letting her know Zath.

Lavender Hope said...

*thinks*
I'm so nosy and curious sometimes.

*sighs*
Not a good thing.

Eve the ROCK said...

Lav, if people thought you were being nosy, you'd know about it. I don't think you're nosy.

Sparky Braginski said...

Nor do I.

Lynxia Lost said...

Sure Sparky. I'd love to be in it! I'll have to wait to tell you my wand because I can only go on Pottermore on my laptop so I'll have to give it to you next month. Sorry.
House? Slytherin!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

Nor do i.

Here for 8 mins or so.

Sparky Braginski said...

Name?

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Star! :)

Star Inkbright said...

My blog is usually at the very top of the list of blogs people follow:)

It's keboz it's got letter A first and letter B second.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi lavender!

Lynxia Lost said...

Oh, name. I'll use the one we convinced our Maths sub I was called.
Eden Fletcher. Nickname Iggy of course. Tamara still calls me Iggy Fletcher...

Eve the ROCK said...

Hahahahaha. My little brother is the only one in the family who can't stand One Direction. :D

We're so annoying to him.

Lavender Hope said...

*laughs*
Yeah, Star. You're right. I didn't notice yet. :P

Lynxia Lost said...

Blood type: Half-blood before i forget.

Star Inkbright said...

Damn. Gtg again. May the fours be with you all.

Lynxia Lost said...

Bye Star!

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Star! Have a good time at school and tell Blue I said hi!

Lavender Hope said...

If she gets that...

Zathract Mist said...

Huh. Sounds interesting, Sparky. Even though I don't actually know what you're talking about, I have a general idea...

Why did I say that? ANYWAY!

*goes to add more Metallica albums to iTunes*

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye star!

Eve the ROCK said...

Champagne showers, champagne showers...

Im like the house DJ. :D

Lavender Hope said...

I'd probably either be a half-blood or muggle born. Just thinking out loud.

Eve the ROCK said...

I'd be pure blood WEREWOLF!

You'd be an animagus, Lav. :)

Sparky Braginski said...

Lynx, wanna read it?

Lavender Hope said...

I'd be cool if I could find the quiz to find out your wizard blood type.

I bet there is one, but I don't think I'll find it.

Sparky Braginski said...

I dedicate this page to...

To...

To......

To.........

CHARMANDER!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

*It'd

Yeah, Eve. Probably. :)

Zathract Mist said...

. . . ?

Eve the ROCK said...

Charmander?

You mean Charmaine Salamander?

Lynxia Lost said...

Google blood type to HP. That's hoe I found it. It tells you what blood type after a quiz.

Lynxia Lost said...

Yay Charmander!!!!

Zathract Mist said...

Half-Blood.

Zathract Mist said...

I AM A HALF-BLOOD! A half-blood that must now switch to iPod. *trudges into iPod land*

Eve the ROCK said...

Quizzes like that aren't vague enough. The options are so obviously counting towards one of the results, so you just choose for yourself, basically.

Like, in What SP Character Are You:

What do you consider most valuable to you?

A) my Bentley R-Type Continental

B) my books and artifacts

!!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

Lynx, wanna read it?

Lynxia Lost said...

Woo!!!! Another Half-blood!!!

Eve the ROCK said...

You're the Half-Blood Pr...

Uh...

Lynxia Lost said...

Woo!!!! Another Half-blood!!!

Lavender Hope said...

*is still looking for a better quiz*

Lynxia Lost said...

Yes I want to read it!!!!

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm Muggle Born.
