After a bizarrely warm November, it's starting to get pretty cold indeed around these parts. Christmas decorations are everywhere. Shopping queues are getting longer. This morning I heard "Merry Christmas (The War is Over)" on the radio- the first Christmas song I've heard in 2011. And a few days ago I posted a TON of cards and letters to readers who had written to me- so it is OFFICIALLY close to Christmas. I can now safely announce it.
You may rejoice.
And the competition winners may ALSO rejoice, because the books I have to sign have finally arrived. I'll sign them all this weekend, have them ready to be picked up on Monday or Tuesday, and then hopefully you'll be getting your prizes over the next few weeks. It'd be cool if you could get them BEFORE Christmas, so that's what we're working towards.
There's still a lot of work going on in my house. I'm getting one of the rooms refurbished- COMPLETELY redesigning it- as well as the kitchen redone, and that's been going on since the start of October. Basically, it means a lot of noise and hassle and interruptions, so I haven't been able to focus on Book Seven, which I really would have liked to have started by now. But hey, I'm not worried. My house is going to RULE when it's all finished, because finally I'll have a proper place to store my toys.
A lot of you may not know this, but I love toys. I collect movie memorabilia and props and stuff, and also comic-book statues. To give you an idea of the kind of things I'm talking about, here are a few action figures...
... and a rather large Iron Man (I've put a book beside him to give you an idea of scale)...
Oh, and here's a 12 inch figure of Sweeny Todd about to give a 12 inch Ichabod Crane a very close shave...
Boy oh boy do I love toys...
As you can imagine, my place is full of equipment boxes right now, so I'm going to leave you with a picture of one of my cats- Pooper- doing what cats love best: clambering into cardboard boxes for no apparent reason.

*laughs*
I'm looking up Article One songs on youtube and then buying them. I just youtube searched 'article one last breath' and the fourth video down is a gameplay from Left 4 Dead.
I'M A MAGNET!
It's fine Lav.
I just wanted to know.
Oh. Okay. Heh... :P
That's funny about the Left 4 Dead thing.
It is.
im going to Anglsea now (look it up if you're interested)
Bye!
Bye Nix.
Lav, e-mail.
*yawns and walks in stretching*
Jeez, you people get up too early.
*walks over to hammock and yawns again*
...
...
...Oh yeah, congratulations, Sparky...again.
You realize that Eve's going to hate this though, right?
Bye Nix!
I think earth hour is today... or maybe tomorrow. I'm not sure, but looking up now.
Hey Mist. Im going, but i just want to know where you're up to in chapter 5?
Hi Mist!
Not early for me.
Checking Sparky!
Nix just jumped onto the platform thing in the factory.
It'll be done by this afternoon.
DAMN YOU, SPARKY!!!
well, it won't be up until tomorrow then
I don't really care.
Why Zath?
Oh.
She can go gnaw on a rock if she feels that way.
ah... i think she found out
*rolls eyes*
Then don't cater.
Fine. *gnaws on a rock*
Replied Sparky.
...Someone else get first.
Hi Eve!
Asooma Sama Squished Banana...
606 words in chapter 6
*is laughing*
No way, that was so- I didn't know we were that close to first! Wow.
Congrats Lav.
Anyway, Congratulationa Sparky!
Hi Mist! *hugs*
Hi Eve! *hugs back*
Did you sleep well?
*is tentatively waiting for Lav's response*
Thanks Eve.
648 words
*smiles* I suppose I did. Thats why I woke up at eight o clock.
It would've been nine...
Anyway, did YOU sleep well...ly?
damn daylight savings
I dedicate this page to Sparky and Eve!
Sparky-because I care about you and just want to let you know that I want to be there for you... if you'll let me.
Oh, and congrats again with Flame. :)
Eve-Don't forget, you're a friend too. :)
Oh, and I sympathize for what you have to do again. With the cake.
*smiles sympathetically*
Yeah. Its so confusing...
I did. *grins*
Day light savings is over now...
i woke up at what i thought was 9 (alarm), when it was actually 8
Yay! Sympathy!
Yeah, I said that a while ago...
About DLS. :P
Thanks Lav.
*tucks the thought in the back of my head*
Yeah. No more sunlight at seven o'clock. Pitch black sky at six.
Sparky, I replied. I said that on the last page, but I don't think you got it.
Now im going to Anglsea
I won't be back until tomorrow... probably. Don't get your hopes up (as if anyone actually cares if im here. Laughable!)
Bye all!
Bye Nix!
*rolls eyes goodnaturedly*
Bye nix.
Bye Nix!
Wait. you guys live in Australia, right? So what season is it there?
Autumn
Bye Nix.
Autumn now.
That is so weird!
It's spring here! Wow! It's like a whole other world in two different places!
Fall. Don't you guys call it Fall?
Bye...agin... for real this time. Don't look at me like that, im going
Bye
Oh yeah. The north and south hemispheres have the opposite seasons. That's cool! :D
Bye nix.
Bye Nix.
For the third time.
Lav, I can't answer the e-mail, my mum might see.
Soon.
Some of us do, Eve. We still call it autumn sometimes.
Okay Sparky. :)
Some. Huh.
*falls over*
Tis she season, I guess.
*lies on ground*
I don't call it Fall...
No, Aussies call it Autumn. Lav was saying some Americans call it Fall.
Yeah, some kids make a joke of that. They trip someone and say
Have a nice trip, see you next fall.
It's really mean when they do that. Mostly bullies at school.
Oh, yeah, earth hour is at 8:30 tonight.
...but I don't really know what it means...
Well, I tripped myself. Am I a bully now?
I'm looking it up now.
LAV KNOWS WHAT EARTH HOUR IS!
How can Shadow and Ink not?
Turn of all power in your house for an hour.
No power for an hour!
Pewdiepie. :3
No Eve. I know you just meant to be funny, but I just mean that sometimes the kids at school do it and they're mean.
What about Pewdie-
BARRELS!!!
-Stares blankly-
Who doesn't know what Earth hour is?
Sheesh.
*gets up* I'm going for a stroll. Anyone wanna come with?
You changed your name again, Kai?
Oh. I should tell my folks then...
*hiss*
BARRELS! RAAAWR!
-Grabs Stephano-
Stephano: Hello, Pewdie.
Pewdie: RAWWWR!
I will.
*twists back and trots after Eve*
I know, lav
...Don't make Pewdiepie references.
It's only cool when Alfred and I do it.
Yay, Sparky? Anyone else? Mist? Lav? I'm giving you ten seconds.
Going now. brb
Well, not everyone does...
Bye Lav.
Mist, wanna come?
I'm going CRAZY, I can't stop watching Pewdiepie.
Mist, have you made or started on a cover?
Fine. The train is leaving. *goes for a stroll with Sparky.*
I'll come!
-Rises up out of water and dries self with heated light-
...*scowls*
You do realise that Pewdiepie is an awful gamer, right?
I don't care.
Pewdiepie is AWESOME.
*is walking next to Eve*
Fine. Come along then.
-Walks next to Sparky-
*scowls again*
CHANGE YOUR NAME!
PEWDIEPIE DOESN'T HAVE MINIONS, HE HAS BROS!
NOW MAKE IT YOUR NAME, AND YOUR NAME ONLY!
Nyanyanyan...nyann...nyanyanyan...
Nya- BARRELS! BARRELS EVERYWHERE!
Can I see the ring? I won't steal it. It's your precious.
-Rolls down hill-
-Makes siren noises-
Weewooweewooweewooweewoo...
-Whispers-
Smeagal could be hiding somewhere..
*leaves a trail of grapes for mist to follow*
...
I haven't looked at it properly yet.
*holds up hand*
It's so sparkly...
FINE! Are you happy?
Yellow diamonds...
Yes.
*smiles at the ring*
I couldn't be any happier.
Wait, is this a Lord of The Rings doohickey?
-Arches eyebrow-
-Throws barrels down hill-
BARRELS!
Lav, you there?
Are you going to be wearing one of those big puffy bridal dresses?
Dylan, do you check the comments on your blog at all?
*scowls at Dylan*
No. It's my engagement ring.
Yes, I do.
*calls out to Mist* Follow the trail of grapes! We're going for a stroll!
Then there would have been no need to ask if I've already made a cover or not.
Wow... That's.. Wow.. But no offense, that looks nothing like Kai Oblivion. But I thoroughly appreciate you going out of your way to make this for me.
Thank you so much.
*shrugs and follows Eve*
And Lynxia and you think the light is purple.
-Frowns-
Yellowy orangey white.
-Starts eating grapes that Eve is leaving behind-
Back.
*sigh*
My grandpa doesn't really care about earth hour. He says 'stores aren't going to turn off the power, traffic lights aren't going to stop working, I'm only going to turn off what we don't need on. There's nothing in the news about this, so I don't care.'
That's basically what he said... I don't get it. Why does he only think of what's on the news? He watches the news all the time, and reads the paper. If something's not there, it's not worth thinking of. That's basically him...
*sigh*
I don't know what to do about that... No one here knows about it... I tried to tell them, they're not listening...
*hooks one arm through Mists and the other through Sparkys* We're going for a STROLL!
Can I take a walk with you now, Eve?
Oh well, Lav. At least you care. Now come for a stroll with us!
Okay. *smiles*
*starts following behind Eve, Sparky, and Mist*
I replied Lav.
*positions Lav next to Sparky* We're off to see...
*hooks my arm through Lav's and keeps looking at the ring*
Why hadn't I looked at it before now?
DON'T SING IT!
NO!
Because you were, like, looking at Phoenix.
Eve has got a point there....
It's alright, I won't sing it. I dont know who we're off to see.
I always have a point there. Never doubt my nonsense!
*walking next to Sparky, arms linked*
The ring is very pretty, Sparky.
*is looking at it too*
*looks at Mist* What's up?
Sparky, you replied to the email?
Cause I don't see it...
We're off to see the Lady Rainicorn!
I mean, why not?
I did reply.
I'm not going to ask Kai.
BARRELS!!!!!!!!!!
Adventure Time.
It is very pretty...
-Looks at ring-
Yep. Very nice.
*Smeagel comes out*
My precioussssss.
Uhp.
*punches Dylan with unringed hand*
*return gaze to ring*
Mist...?
*looks up*
...
...
-Throws exploding heated ball of light at Sparky's face, it explodes on impact, remarking soot left on his face-
What was that for!
I have to go again. I'll be back soon.
*unhooks arm from Sparky's, then vanishes*
Are you okay?
...
...
...
TNT,
I'm dynamite,
TNT,
And I'll win the fight,
TNT,
I'm a power-load
TNT,
Watch me explode...
*her face
*stumbles backwards and falls backwards on my back*
I've had worse.
Bye lav. *is still looking at Mist*
Bye Lav.
That sounds like it should have "Gotta catch 'em all, Pokémon!" on the end of it. =3
*is lying on grass*
*looks at my ring against the sun*
*squints*
Yellow diamonds...
-Hits Sparky with red vapour whip thingy-
-Kicks in jaw-
Dylan, check your blog comments.
*rolls ove so the vapour hits my back*
I'm not gonna fight you.
I'm itching for a friendly fight.
*feels my jaw*
Ow.
That aura is the aura that Trelaque has. Well done.
[Trelaque being Kai in his True Name form]
Then sit there and be beat up, Sparky.
-Holds super hot light near face-
Now is your chance to jerk away.
*covers my eyes*
Go to hell.
Actually.
Kill me. Go ahead. I'll be great.
*it'll.
*sighs at Dylan*
*holds Mists hand and skips into the forest with him*
-Hot light dissipates into air-
Good job, Sparky. Why wouldn't you fight me exactly?
*goes with Eve*
Because.
Come on.
Kill me.
You know you want to.
I'm not a murderer.
But I do have an idea of what will happen if I attempt to kill you.
Does it happen to have something to do with Crucify?
it turns out that we're not leaving for another hour
This is where the Wallowing Twites live. Can you hear them singing?
Hi Nix.
Hi nix
No Dylan, it doesn't.
I need to go.
Bye.
Bye sparky
-Keeps beating Sparky up until her teeth start falling out-
What's going to happen?
-Keeps throwing exploding lights at her-
Bye Sparky
I did this at your wish, so no hard feelings...
Bye, Sparky. Hi, Nix.
*listens for the Wallowing Twites*
I'm not here.
Come on. I'll take you to Piano Circle. *changes direction*
Zathract, what would need to happen for Nagier to come here?
Would you need to almost die, or get really angry, or something else, what?
Hello? Have we all just disappeared?
For the record, Crucify isn't me.
*spits blood*
Dude, just kill me.
Nagier is not inside Mist like Darquesse is. Nagier is a different thing
*follows Eve*
...I'd need someone to put Eve's life in danger. And before I'd let him out, I'd try and kill whoever did it myself.
*fumes*
Oh yeah, the reason. I watched Sparky get beat up by Kai and I was too slow to stop him! I'm upset at myself, Kai and Sparky for what we did. Kai, beating Sparky. Sparky, for letting him. And me, for being to slow to stop them!
I'm not here. I don't want to be here. I'm sorry, but I've had it.
*sighs*
Sparky, I read the email now. Don't forget. You're my best friend and I care.
*vanishes*
Okay, Sparky, fine.
But I'm doing this at your wish. So don't blame me.
-Rips out windpipe-
Like Nix said, Nagier isn't my Darquesse. He's his own being now.
Wha... Lav, this is... Gaah. We're not fighting or anything...
...Sparky, you just got engaged again.
Why the hell are you doing this? What happened to everything we did last night to help you?
-Sees shed and goes into-
:O
*Gaspness*
BARRELS EVERYWHERE! GET OUT!
-Throws barrels into water-
BARREELLSSSSS!
Welp, I killed Sparky...
That's so brutally sweet. *kisses mists cheek*
*stops*
There it is.
*points to piano in a circle*
Some say you can hear it playing at midnight.
You-aaaaare my best friends in the world!
You-aaaaare my best friends in the world!
That's riiiiight, I'm talking to-
You don't need to know the rest. It isn't relevant. But you
You-aaaaare my best friends in the world!
It could be me, going there at midnight and playing it.
*grins at Eve, then looks at the piano*
That's big...
You be deaded, “Nixion said happily to the corpse. Not that the corpse could hear him. Kind of hard to do without a head.
Zathract, can I pretend to take Eve hostage so Nagier will come? I have to go in ten minutes.
Don't go in the circle. You'll turn to apricot jelly.
And yes, it is big. *looks up at piano*
I knew it had SOMETHING to do with Eve, even before you said it.
It's always to do with Eve
No one would avenge me if i died
