Last Few Days...

Three days left for the Ameriminion competition, and ten for the Friend Gets Friend. Tension around Skulduggery Towers (yes, that is what I'm calling my house) is HIGH.

To spur you on, I now present to you a picture of a cute puppy.


All hail the cute puppy!

Mark: *yelps*
*snarls, snapping round, biting onto Cole's muzzle, holding him still, claws swinging towards his side, almost his neck*

Inky Flame said...

Cole; *pulls away, ignoring the pain*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *snarls, howling in pain, releasing Cole and backing away from Jesa and Cole*


Annabelle: *hides behind Jesa, whining*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *runs and pounces on mark*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: No, your blood is definitely the best. *she bites Onwa's chest, sinking her fangs in*

Parasite: Mmm... Why did you make me in the first place?

Claire: Nope!

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *rubs against Anna silently telling her the pups are fine and asking if she's ok*
*turns back to mark and bares her teeth, growling louder and showing dominence*
*walks round him*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Ember: Good. I'm glad. Is it when you use your powers?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *shoves Cole off*
*shifts into a human*
ENOUGH!


Annabelle: *nods gently at Jesa, nuzzling her side before she walks off*


Onwa: *gasps, moaning loudly, eyes wide*

James: it amuses me.

Yep.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *also shifts into human form* leave her alone! *his face is bleeding quite a lot*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *grins at the damage he's done*
I didn't come for her anyway. She's just amusing. I came for you.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: me? *wipes the blood*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Yes.
*is bleeding from his side and back*

Annabelle: *is staring at her paws*
*too much man on show*

Mark: I challenge you.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *is quiet for a moment* challenge accepted

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Good. We'll need time to get a tad less damaged. How about a week?

Inky Flame said...

Cole; *stands tall* fine by me. Any chance to stop you tormenting annabelle

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *watches the two males and glares*
*glances at Anna then looks away*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Mm. If you lose, I get your pack.


Annabelle: *trots over to Jesa, pressing against her*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: no you won't
I won't lose

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *frowns*
*his Pack?*
*looks at Cole*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *smirks*
Sure you won't. Just like you weren't going to lose Annabelle. Or Justin.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *gently rubs her head against Jesa's shoulder*

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *turns back into a human*
Fight me instead, Mark. You're far too cocky for your own good.
*walks over to him, centimeters from his face*
Back off.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *clenches his fists*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *raises an eyebrow at Jesa*
Thanks, but you have nothing of interest to me. Except maybe my pups.

Annabelle: *shivers, staring at the ground*
*too much human is on show right now*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *flashes Cole a cocky grin*

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: YOUR pups?
If anything they're Cole's. But they never have and never will be yours.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: Anna can be with who she chooses
Justin was an unfortunate series of events
Now get off my territory

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: I'm their father. They're mine by right, by blood.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: A unfortunately series of events? You cared so much, clearly.

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: you raped her! You forced her into it. They shouldn't be yours.

(He did rape her, right?)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: you aren't nothing more than a sperm donor
I'm the closest to a father figure they have had and I shall continue to protect them

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gemmy yup.)

Annabelle: *flinches*

Mark: But they are.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *sighs* I meant his death

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*realizes once again: is friendless here* *walks away*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: run, mark.
Run fast
Before my pack finds you

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: Sure you did Cole, sure you did. And sure you do.


(*waves to Zan/Zaf/E*)

Inky Flame said...

(What do you achieve by doing that Zaf? No one will pity you
Try actually talking ^.^)

Chione Asahina said...

(Damn right, Zafira.)

Jesa: they're not yours. And i won't let you have them.
*narrows her golden eyes*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *smirks at Cole*
If any of you pack attack me before the fight I'll see that as a violation and a forfeit.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *growls* just leave and come back in a week *

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *raises an eyebrow at Jesa*
You might not get a choice. I'll see you in a week, Cole. Anna. Jes.
*turns and walks off*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *turns to the girls* well shall we go back to my place? I need to declare the challenge
*is face is still bleeding*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *is still staring at the ground*
*there's still human on show*
*yucky!*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *sighs and shifts into a wolf*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *thinks then shifts back into a human*
*covers his parts* where are the pups?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *glances up now*
*doesn't mind Jesa being on show as much*
*sends the image of the pups into Cole's head, glancing at hers and Jesa's cave*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*facepalm*)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: they are unsupervised? With mark around? *rolls eyes* unbelivable. You two better go to the pups

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Talk, yeah okay. Chi is a fine example of why I don't: she doesn't want me.

I wish I could feel safe to join in with people, but I don't. I feel that the moment someone feels they don't like something, they'll start crap and get me yelled at

Aka Adra

Oh look its 9am i better go get ready for church. Maybe I'll be hit by a car.

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: It's fine. He's an idiot.
*smiles*
He won't get the pups even if Cole loses
*claps Anna*
He said he gets the pack if Cole loses. You and the pups aren't part of the pack. He can't have them.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *glares at him, sending the mental image of Jesa curled up with them*
*then sending the image of Jesa getting up to check what was happening with Mark and Cole*

Inky Flame said...

(Well that is a fine way to be isn't it?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *looks at Jesa*

Anonymous said...

(*sighs*
*clears throat*
*offers hug to Zaf* Nope!

"I don't care if it's one vs many, few vs some, I'll be here you don't have to run."

mornin' Folks)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: well I don't know about you two , but I'm going home
This week is going to be busy

Inky Flame said...

(Afternoon k)

Chione Asahina said...

(Zafira, i'm like that because i've tried to be nice to you and you never recognise it so i give up. Be like that, i don't care.)

Jesa: *changes into a wolf and runs back to the cave and to the pups who're still sleeping*
*slips back into her spot and lays down*

Inky Flame said...

(*sighs happily* I love martial art training shoes
So light)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *watches Jesa leave*
*shoots Cole and apologetic look*
*runs after her, laying next to her*
*howls in pain before shifting into a human form*
*pants slightly*
Ow..

Chione Asahina said...

(Hello Keiron.
It's pouring. And we're on a boat in the clyde. Great.)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *sighs and goes back home*
*he gets his wounds fixed*
*his coronation will be after the funeral tomorrow*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *also goes home, getting herself fixed*

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *watches Anna come in and also changes into a human again*
Are you alright?

Chione Asahina said...

(Herself? Mark is a girl?
Knew itttt)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: Yeah.. shifting still hurts..
The pups weren't any trouble were they?


Copper: *wakes up, wagging his tail*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*facepalm!!!* **himself!!!)

Inky Flame said...

All the wolves are gathered in the village square*
*cole stands on the stage*
*everyone is silently mourning the loss of their alpha*
Cole; *says loudly* a wolf has come foreward to challenges me, the challenge will take place in a weeks time

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: of course not. They both just cuddles up with me and fell asleep.
And the more you shift the less it will hurt, trust me.

Anonymous said...

(Hey Gem.

Just because someone doesn't notice your friendship means you can tell them they don't have friends... :( )

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: Okay.. hopefully that's true.
*kisses her gently*
Hey.. Jes? Why.. why don't you like being in a pack?

Belle: *shifts human again, crawling onto Annabelle, whining for food*

Annabelle: *rolls eyes, sitting up, opening her shirt for Belle*

Chione Asahina said...

(It was her that said it. Not me. I just agreed.)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: it shall be a fight to the death, if I lose then the wolf will have te pack. We must make sure Anna comes nowhere near here...

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: *is silent for a moment, watching the pups*
Because i used to be in a pack.
(Only men can be alpha, right?)

Anonymous said...

(but you could disagree... especially if it's only because it wasn't replicated.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gemmy there's an alpha male and an alpha female. Generally it's the alpha male that's dominant, except after the alpha female has given birth in which case while there are pups she is the dominant one.)


Annabelle: isn't that a good thing..?

Anonymous said...

(going to walk lucy, might not be back)

Inky Flame said...

(I believe a male alphas mate is called a Luna)

Cole: *sits up on his roof until the early hours*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs Cole* there there..)


Mark: *starts his training*

Inky Flame said...

(Cole; *is hugged*)


Cole: *the next day, Cole stands by as his father is burnt*
*he got no sleep*
*everyone is silent*

Chione Asahina said...

(Good good.)
Jesa: No. Not really.
I-i used to be the alpha of my pack. I had a mate but it was nothing serious. We weren't in it for love. He needed an heir. We had 2 pups. Both boys.
*tenses, speaking slower*
A lone wolf came into our land one day, Challenging my mate. He wanted our pack. And my mate lost. But because i was still alpha, he became my new mate. We were out on a hunt for food one day and i got seperated from the rest of the pack. He came up behind me and pushed me off of a cliff. He thought i was dead. But he became the new alpha and took my pack. If i had gone back...he would have killed me, and my pups. But he needed my pups as heirs so he kept them alive. I've been running since. It's been 4 years...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: Oh.. Jes..
*hugs her, careful not to crush Belle*
I'm so sorry..

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *everyone stands around the stage in the square when Cole is made alpha*
+everyone would normally be cheering *

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *is getting stronger*faster*

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *trains in the woods*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mark: *trains against his old pack*

Chione Asahina said...

Jesa: so that's why i don't like packs. And that's why i was cold towards Copper and Belle. Because i have my own children. Somewhere...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *is silent*
*thinks*
Well.. that.. was four years ago?
*thinks more*
Lets go find them.

Inky Flame said...

*the festival where local packs come together arrives*
*this gives young wolves the chance to meet others*

(*smiles innocently at Chloé*)

Chione Asahina said...

(My battery is almost dead)
Jesa: what?! Are you crazy? I can't go back...what if Zach isn't alpha yet?
what if it's still...
*swallows and can't even speak his name*

Chione Asahina said...

(3%. Gtg. Continue when i get back home :)
Bye guys.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *takes her hand*
You have me. And you have you. We're both strong Jes and.. and we can both solve this. Together..

Noelle said...

Ode to Sylvia

I blind my eyes and all the world drops dead.
The whisp’ring opera preys upon my fear,
They tick and click and cry and caw and toil,
At daunting wraiths that lie inside my head.
They’re closing in; their pleas are what I hear-
“Dear God have grace, I dread my mortal coil”.
My orbs are blind and the whole Earth’s deceased-
(The sinew in my gut is undulate)
-My hope for Zion’s stolen by Hell’s snare,
My skull’s a cage, my pain does still increase.
Doomed that I am, my mind is ruminate---
---My life lays in my ‘cophagus, where there:
I shut my eyes and all the world falls dead,

And I along, my life a broken thread.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*gives Noelle a warm hug from kas*
*hugs Noelle*)

Eira: oh, it must've been fairly recent


Come; yes, the other night

Eira; I see, you don't have to hide it

Cole: I'm sorry, *shows it* I'm still trying to get used to a few things

Eira; don't apologise, I am sorry for your loss

Cole: don't apologise *smiles weakly*

((*stumbles into the world of the living*

I don't know why I didn't enjoy the Anna/Jesa/Cole roleplay as much when it started, because I really like it now . . .
. . . ugh. I should really give up expecting myself to make sense.

Right, well, anyway, I was asheep for a couple of hours. Hopefully I'l be less dead now. :) Might play Risk again soon.

In other news - today is Day Three!!!!!!!!!
How exciting. :)))

Morgan: *after a pause, his voice flowing slightly better* It's more likely to flare up when I use my powers, or when I take drugs. However, after having had a bleeding attack, it's more likely to happen again soon afterwards. It's all probability - no direct predictions.
*begins mentally working out the probability of it happening again now, then how probable it would be after various events that will likely happen*
*he feels slightly better*
*calmer*
*gets out a (small, maybe the size of his palm) mirror and glances at his face in it, memorising the position of the bloody streaks trailing from his eyes*
*his eyes look dark and haunted, but he's not sure can he be bothered to neutralise their expression*
*puts mirror away and carefully begins to clean his face of blood through using his fingers, his bandage and his spit, calculating what the blood will look like after each action and adjusting his action accordingly*

((^Reached the end of what I played out in my head last night. Yay?))

Cole: shall we go for a walk?

Eira; *smiles* sure

Cole: *leads her towards the woods* so, what is it like being part of the solace pack?

Eira; it is great *smiles* they are all closely knitted and supportive.

Cole: what about your parents?

Eira; they died *looks straight ahead*

Cole: I'm sorry...

Eira: don't apologise. I wasn't originally part of the pack, but around the age of five, they found me wandering aroud their territory. I was a skinny little thing. The alpha took me in as his adopted daughter

Cole; that's very kind of him

Star Inkbright said...

Inky Flame said...

Eira: *frowns* and you accepted? You have only just claimed the position....


Cole: well this wolf is bad and needs to be put out of his misery

Eira: i shall stick around, you and your pack may need the solace pack for support

Cole; you don't have to

Eira; we don't want anything happening to our ally *rests head against his shoulder*

Star Inkbright said...

:) *huggles Inky back*

Maybe I should think about The Alloy of Law again. That helped a bit last time. XD

Chione Asahina said...

(Back and Jai has disappeared)

Star Inkbright said...

The Alloy of Law feels so modern and so old-fashioned at the same time.

I mean, there's this one scene where they're in Ranette's house and there's electrical wires on the floor and Marasi kind of carefully steps over them, and she's thinking "Electricity can't harm you when it's in wires, can it?" And it's so scary and Other to her. And she's thinking about how her tutors said that one day the world will be run by electricity, and it would be a bit like us saying "One day all transport will fly and mankind will take to the skies." And I'm just there like "Haha you old-fashioned people who aren't used to electricity yet."
However, there's one context in which it's not old-fashioned, and that's an Allomantic one. I'm only used to Allomancy in the original Mistborn trilogy, where people fought with glass daggers due to their inability to be influenced by metal. People like Wax, who can burn steel to Push on metals, are called Coinshots - because in the olden days, when I'm used to reading about Allomancy, Coinshots generally attacked people wiht coins. Now? It's more bullets. I'm not sure I've ever seen Wax attack someone by firing a coin at them in that entire book (although it was only just under half the length of a usual Mistborn book).
And I guess that almost EVERYTHING in that book, I knew from the context of my life, my era, and as my era is more modern, it seemed old-fashioned. But the fantasy elements in The Alloy of Law are not foound in my life, and as such I don't know them in a modern context. Hence, The Alloy of Law is the most modern context I've found them in.

It's just - it's just so COOL, though. Allomantic gunfights, I mean. I mean - Wax is forty-two, right, and he's been using guns pretty frequently for the past twenty years. And he's just developed so many tactics with them. For example, he kind of creates a 'bubble' around himself when he thinks there mgiht be a firefight - he pushes slightly in all directions around himself, meaning that any bullets would be deflected slightly. And like I said, he doesn't use coins - if he wanted to drop some metal on the floor to Push off, he'd probably drop a used bullet casing. And to direct himself whilst Pushing in the air, he will often fire a bullet in the opposite direction to the direction he wants to move, to Push against. And just - using guns to help him Push in this manner is so natural to him. It's an intrinsic part of the art of Pushing, to him. Like electricity is an intrinsic part of our lives now (of my life, at least. It feels like I'm constantly surrounded by a billion wires, haha). And I'm trying to explain how weird it feels that Wax is so used to an updated version of Pushing that is so strange to me. It's not just like the world has moved on, but that it's moved on so much that the past is firmly cemented in the past - the updated version of Allomancy has formed so many tendrils and grown into so many little cracks in the world that even if you go around lopping its branches off, you'll never entirely be able to rid yourself of its it, or at least not its influence. And when you're not used to this all-controlling intrinsic thing that is most certainly THERE being there, it's . . . a little weird.

In a cool way, of course. I love analysing stuff like this.

THIS RIDICULOUS EMOTIONAL BOOK OMG

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Aaaaaaaaand I'm back


@Star huh?)

Star Inkbright said...

Wb! :)

@Jai: I'm reading this book that is really well-written and emotional even if it is a bit ridiculous. It keeps making me cry. :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Star what's it called?)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: Clockwork Princess. In the Infernal Devices trilogy. Prequle trilogy to the Mortal Instruments series. By Cassandra Clare. I'll be suprised if you've not heard of it. :)

Star Inkbright said...

*prequel

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I've heard of mortal instruments.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: They're good books. Get better as they go along.
I haven't read them in a few years, but I think I can probably say that there are a few ridiculous plot decisions adn several people being dramatic and ridiculous about other stuff, but that on the whole, they're AMAZINGLY well written (the later ones, at least), very emotional, have very good characters, can be very humorous and have a very good plot (I mean, minus the occasional bad plot decision). So yeah. They're pretty good. :P

Chione Asahina said...

(Yay Jaimie's back!
I was in the middle of killing the ender dragon. Now the game is saving and taking forever.)

Jesa: *shakes head*
i-i couldn't. Not after 4 years...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gem xD you might have a couple of texts..)


Annabelle: You need to Jes.. you can't live your life not knowing what happened to your kids. What if ones ill? What if ones dying? Don't you deserve to spend time with them..?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Dad bought chocolate to make up for being an hour and five minutes late.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Jaimie, I may have seen the last thirty seconds of Hercules, and I agree. Then again, it does not especially seem like my type of film, anyway.)

Liliana: Good. *she grins*

Parasite: I am so powerful.

Claire: I'm not tired!


Elizabeth: Why would I make it worse?

Chione Asahina said...

(20 texts? Really?)

Jesa: and what if they're already dead? i have you, Copper and Belle.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Sophi it's one of my fav Disney films.

@Gem 20? Oops.)


Onwa: *sighs happily*

James: And yet you begged.

Shh. Sleepy time.


Annabelle: And you'll hate yourself. You'll spend the rest of your life worrying and regretting it.

Star Inkbright said...

((I've not seen Hercules, I don't think.))

Morgan: I don't think trying to do anything to my body is a good idea. It doesn't take too kindly to being changed when it's in the middle of falling apart, and I'd rather not risk it.
*finishes removing the blood from his face*
*his right hand is throbbing nastily, and he simultaneously wants the pain to stop and wants it to increase*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...
