Zathract Mist said...

Actually, I might. But I still want you to say it. I'm stubborn like that.

Lavender Hope said...

Me too. Please say it, Sparky.

Lavender Hope said...

I was saying me too to Mist's stubborn comment. Cause I can be sometimes.

Sparky Braginski said...

Okay.

This is what I was going to say:

"Heya Zath... Zathy... Zathy-kins! Yes!"

Please accept my apology for even thinking that.

I've been in weird moods recently. Giving people the strangest pet names...

I would never call you that, which is why I didn't want to say it...

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm going to go now...

Zathract Mist said...

*starts laughing*

Sparky Braginski said...

Y'know, before I get maimed.

Buh-bye now!

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, I feel sorry for yelling so much as Dylan when he said that now. It's all so irrelevant to...everything.

*is still laughing*

Bye Sparky!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Sparky!

Zathract Mist said...

*at

Lavender Hope said...

Oh that would be provoking Mist.
*seriously is trying not to laugh at 'Zathy-kins' part*

Eve the ROCK said...

I just remembered I was talking here

Lav, you don't have to mention that I'm 'distant'. Cuz I always am

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Sparky!

Got to go too. Bye!

Sparky Braginski said...

Wait, so you aren't going to kill me?

Sparky Braginski said...

Bye Lav!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Lav!

Lavender Hope said...

Back. Just had to change rooms.

If you didn't figure it out yet, I'll be popping in and out a lot. So if I say bye, expect me to be back in a few minutes. Or 10.

Zathract Mist said...

No. No I'm not. *has stopped laughing now*

Bye Hope!

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, hi Hope!

Nixion Strange said...

WB Lav!

Sparky Braginski said...

Hi Lav.

*looks at Zath funny*

What do ya mean "no"?

Lavender Hope said...

Or at random times. Just don't think I'll be gone too long. Unless it's mealtime or tonight when I have the performance. Then I'll probably be gone a while.

Zathract Mist said...

I mean no. I'm not going to kill you, Sparky. Or hurt you. Or whatever.

Whatever. *nods*

Lavender Hope said...

Still might disappear though.

So Mist, you staying for a while today? Or are you back now? Maybe?

Sparky Braginski said...

...Whhhhy?

Lavender Hope said...

Be right back.

Zathract Mist said...

Why not?
That's my way of thinking now. Unless it isn't. I can't remember. I don't think it matters. No point in hurting you, it's not like you meant any harm.

I don't know what I'm saying anymore.

Sparky Braginski said...

...Does that mean I could call you Zathy-kins semi-regularly without being beaten to a pulp, or is it a one time only thing?

Zathract Mist said...

It's probably a one time thing.

Let's just wait and see.

Star Inkbright said...

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST!!!!!!!!!

HIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AGGGGGGGGGGES!!!

Hi Sparky Lav Nix Eve!

Lavender Hope said...

*speaks out of breath*
Back. Hi. :)

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Star!

Zathract Mist said...

It's only been three weeks, Ink.

But HI!

Wb, Hope.

Lavender Hope said...

*gets breath back*
Hi Star!

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello Ink.

*laughs*

Oh Zath, you are going to regret that one day.

Star Inkbright said...

*smiles happily*

*can't believes I'm talking to Zath and Sparky at the same time, which, a week ago, would have been unheard of*

So, how's you peoples?

Lavender Hope said...

It is SO hot here. Or humid. It's cloudy.

Star Inkbright said...

WB Lav!

Zathract Mist said...

Probably. Maybe. I don't know. I regret a lot of things these days.
Have regretted. Regret. All depends o where you're standing. And where am I standing?

*looks down*

In the lake. So that means absolutely NOTHING! *walks back onto dry land*

Zathract Mist said...

I'm...uh...

Lavender Hope said...

I'm still adjusting to the time zone, meaning I'm still tired, but better than yesterday. Sorry for getting out of subject sometimes and being random.

Sparky Braginski said...

...?

Lavender Hope said...

While everyone else is practicing their part, I get to be here. Talking to you guys. :) This is what happens when I only have one dance.

Eve the ROCK said...

Mr Fantastic and the Thing are the best. I don't like Person-who-needs-to-get-out-of-the-way, or Person-that-is-a-lot-like-Violet-the-Incredible

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but Averngers are way better then any of the fantastic four... except for Wasp, I don't like her

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm pretty goose :)

Lavender Hope said...

Whatcha walking about, Eve?

Lavender Hope said...

Oh. Superheroes. Okay.

Star Inkbright said...

It's . . . *looks out of window* Not raining! Yay!

This year has been the weirdest summer ever. The weather's acting like October. We've barely seen the sun. But, it*s weird, coz a) it's not cold, and b) IT'S SO FRIGGIN LIGHT! You SHOULDN'T have a light sky and ten o'clock at night in England when there's this kins of weather, it's not NATURAL.

Yes, I know England is meant to be rainy, but it's JUNE!!!! It's SUMMER!!! We usually have SOME sun this time of year!

If this is what global warming's done for us, I don't mind coz I'm okay with rain so long as it's not top cold, but I WOULD like to see a BIT of sunny weather at least ONCE A YEAR, thank you very much!

Lavender Hope said...

Avengers was so funny!

Star Inkbright said...

*at

*kind

*not

Eve the ROCK said...

I know, but I can't exactly watch the Avengers right now. Mum is making me watch this as punishment for watching Erky Perky, Koala Brothers and Rob the Robot with my big brother xD

Nixion Strange said...

I'm watching the TV series online for some reason
I guess I'm bored

Star Inkbright said...

It's not just me being awkward, y'know. EVERY here's moaning about the weather. It's not natural, I tell you.

Star Inkbright said...

*EVERYONE

Lavender Hope said...

It's usually this hot and cloudy in Korea. But in California, the weather had been a little odd.

Lavender Hope said...

Be right back. Again. Moving rooms. Again.

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah. Back again.

Star Inkbright said...

So it's NOT just the East Riding of Yorkshire??? :)

Seriously. It's like Febrauary!!! It's not faaaaaaair!!!!!!! You people in California and Australia gets tons of sun! It's meant to be rainy weather - possibly snowy weather otherwise cold weather - rainy weather - sunny weather -, but it's been rainy weather - cold weather very little snow - rainy weather - rainy weather this year!!!

Lavender Hope said...

It's been rainy in California though. And windy cool. Differen than how it is in May-June. It's supposed to get hot by now.

But since I'm in Korea, the weather's the same as it usually is in the summer.

Star Inkbright said...

*hums Banana Guard song*

Lavender Hope said...

Be right back.

Sparky Braginski said...

Well, our summer this year was rainy as...

A really, really rainy place.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, but the sunny weather will melt the rubber of your shoes
Seriously, that happened to me once, it was that hot

Star Inkbright said...

*nods frantically* YES! IT'S MEANT TO BE HOT AND SUNNY BY NOW!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!

(Admittedly, we don't get much HOT here, but still)

Star Inkbright said...

REALLY???

Wow.

Now you people imagine having cold, rainy autumn, then colddd winter with not much snow, then grey, rainy spring . . . And then looking forward to it being SUMMERTIME and getting SUN, except you don't get a summer, you just get rain.

It is NOT fair.

. . . Personally I don't mind it all that much, but I'm speaking for my county.

Lavender Hope said...

Back.

Sparky Braginski said...

I love rain.

Lavender Hope said...

I'm okay with rain, but I like those warm, sunny days that have a cool breeze. That's my favorite kind of day.

Nixion Strange said...

Imagine getting used to the hot during the summer, the sweltering hot that, if you're not careful, can actually kill, then going to cold that we aren't used to. Maybe it's not cold for you people, but after a long summer, our bodies adapt to the heat, and then are put in the cold. That in itself has known to kill as well
The weather here is brutal, it's not all sunny skys and beaches. It's sweltering hot, then cold that drives you insane

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm. That would drive me insane. I don't like cold.

I don't mind the rain, but other people do. I'm speaking for East Yorkshire.

Lavender Hope said...

That's freaky Nix...

Eve the ROCK said...

Adelaide's hot in summer and cold in winter. Autumn's annoying coz it gets chilly when you least expect it and it rains a lot. Spring is warm and breezy, but I'm allergic. I
Like summer days and winter nights. Winter at night is awesome. It's like the air is splitting around you.

Lavender Hope said...

Msd. iPod battery's low, not DYING low, but still pretty low. And might have to dance soon.

Star Inkbright said...

Winter nights + East Yorkshire = . . . Hmm. Snuggling down in bed trying to get warm, mostly.

Lavender Hope said...

Did Mist leave? Or is he distant?

Or did he disappear?

Sparky Braginski said...

Good luck Lav!

Nixion Strange said...

He left for a while, I think...

Nixion Strange said...

what to write, what to write...

Star Inkbright said...

Disappeared, I'm guessing.

Lavender Hope said...

Thanks Sparky!

Oh yeah, I recorded a bit from yeaterday's rehearsal. Might post it on my blog. Going to have to edit it a little though.

Now I think I should go, dance teacher's talking to us. I should pay attention. Be back later. Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, he kinda told me, I think... he wasn't very clear

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Lav!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Lavender!

Nixion Strange said...

So, what should I write people? I mean, out of my stories, I'm not starting something new...

Star Inkbright said...

Eeeerrrrrrmmm . . .

I dunno. *thinks*

Your HP fanfic.

Nixion Strange said...

Really? I got the impression no one really liked it...

Star Inkbright said...

You got the impeession you liked it? Well, write it, then!

(Newbies wouldn't get that joke . . . )

Nixion Strange said...

I was nobody, not no one, but the joke still has hold
Ha! Did you like it?

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry for the double post. I hath discorvered that it is troublesome to comment here and read virtual books simultaneously, because I use mine same electronical device for both amusements.

Nixion Strange said...

You double commented?

Helena Ember Sky said...

Hello Star, Nix. *points River's lasers at both* *laughs* *slides them back into the holster.*

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Helena

Star Inkbright said...

Oh. You said no one? *looks* Oh, DAMMIT, you DID say no one. And I thought I had a good memory for that type of thing!

Didn't I say I liked it? *sighs* First Flame, now you - I ought to be more specific in my comnents and not go off asIaming.

YES, I liked it:)

Nixion Strange said...

Yokay, Maybe I will write at least chapter one

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Helena!

We BOTH double commented, Nix. I said x, you said y, then I said x again and you said y again.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello Em.

Nixion Strange said...

Uh... I think you're device is broken Star, I haven't double commented, neither have you

Helena Ember Sky said...

Hey Sparky! Sorry wbd, I'm r/DoctorWhoing.

Sparky Braginski said...

K Em.

*goes over small portion of new story I've written*

Would anyone like a peek at it?

Star Inkbright said...

*looks upwards*

*frowns* I'd swear we double commented . . .

We all know my phone is a piece of rubbish, of course it isn't working properly. When is it ever?

Nixion Strange said...

I READ!

Star Inkbright said...

YES PLEASE SPARKO MARKO!

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh, wow, k, here it is...




Sparky groaned and rubbed her head. What happened? She looked around and saw a landscape she found unnervingly familiar.
‘W-where-‘
‘You know where you are, don’t play around.’
‘Who-‘
‘You know that too. I don’t know why you know, but it would be for the same reason I know who you are Sparky.’
‘Stand up Sparks.’
‘Why does my head hurt?’ Sparky mumbled as she stood and looked at the people with her. There were two girls, who seemed to have been conversing for some time. One looked to be about sixteen, had light brown hair and was wearing grey school uniform with red trim. The other was about twenty-one, had dyed dark red hair and was wearing torn jeans, a red shirt and sunglasses.
‘It’ll pass.’ The schoolgirl said. ‘I’m Phoebe, by the way.’
‘You didn’t need to tell her that.’
‘Sure I did. You handled it better than I did Steph.’
‘You could still figure out my name.’
‘Yeah, after twenty minutes! I was cutting to the chase.’
‘Don’t talk back to me Phoeb.’
‘Oh, oh, don’t even get me started on the complications of that!’
‘Um, are you guys going to explain what’s going on?’ Sparky asked.
‘Because Steph won’t, I will.’ Phoebe replied, smiling. ‘It seems that the three of us are from different universes, but we share our personality.’
‘Then why did you offer to explain and Steph didn’t?’ Sparky asked.
‘Because, the three different universes have exposed us to different circumstances and people, which has altered our personalities differently. Does that make sense?’ Phoebe explained.
‘Yes. It does. Can I still use my magic here?’
‘You should do, mine does.’
‘Oh, you’re magic?’
‘Yup.’ As she said this Phoebe pulled a wand out of her pocket and flicked it. A small plume of fire emerged from the tip of her wand.
‘Wicked!’ Sparky grinned.

Nixion Strange said...

Is Step Val?

Sparky Braginski said...

No, this is Steph from my L4D fanfic.

Nixion Strange said...

Ah... well, I kinda don't get your L4D fan-fic, seeing as I don't get a thing about L4D, so I didn't read the whole thing....

Sparky Braginski said...

*rolls eyes*

Star Inkbright said...

I looked up L4D on Wiki yesterday.

Realky intriguing Sparky. I would say, "I like where this is going", but that's Nix's phrase.

Sparky Braginski said...

So... Any opinions? Feedback?

Sparky Braginski said...

...

*sees Ink posted before me*

...

...

...

*scowls*

Every time...

Nixion Strange said...

*shoots energy beams out of eyes*

I like where this is going Sparky.

Eve the ROCK said...

Cool, sparky

...Maybe I don't want to be a writer.

Sparky Braginski said...

.... Why Eve?

Star Inkbright said...

EVE, STOP DISTONATTTIINNNNGGGG!!

Why not???

Star Inkbright said...

Going to have breakfast. I'll bbs unless I get distracted.

Nixion Strange said...

K Star

Eve the ROCK said...

*shrugs* I mean, yeah, I really like writing, but I can never come up with anything that I stick to, and I never 'feel like writing'. I write when it goes towards my school report, or when I'll get something I really want and I have something to start me off. I could never write as a career, I couldn't live on that. Which brings me back to "I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with myself when I get kicked out of the house"

Nixion Strange said...

Uh, Eve. Unless your a bestseller, no one can just write for a career. I'm getting a proper job, but writing ever opertunity I get. No one can just work of being a writer by itself, you need a proper job

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm not just talking about 'author'. I'm saying anything to do with writing. I just can't write...whatever. What do I know about career stuff, anyway?

Maybe I'll just work at Woolworths and slowly devour the Nile

Eve the ROCK said...

And I couldn't write on the side, anyway. For reasons I explained earlier

Eve the ROCK said...

*sighs* I like acting. I reckon I'm best at that than anything else. I think. But I'll have to be really really lucky. Which I'm not.

Star Inkbright said...

Back!

Sparky Braginski said...

...I don't think I'll ever be able to finish a proper story, but that's because I tend to finish things painstakingly open-ended...

Okay, so there are four characters in this story. Sophie, Sparky, Steph and Phoebe.

Are the repetitive S's a bad thing?

Eve the ROCK said...

I'm related to a Sophie and a Steph

Sparky Braginski said...

And all of their names can be shortened...

Stephanie-Steph
Sophie-Soph
Sparky-Sparks
Phoebe-Phoeb

Star Inkbright said...

Not nessessarily, Sparko.

Rebellion has four main characters, until the sequel. At which point it gets a couple more.

Star Inkbright said...

Huh. I would've said Phoebe - Phoebs.

Sparky Braginski said...

Gotta go, bye!

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, we call Sophie 'Soph' too. Or at least my mum does.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Sparky!

Eve the ROCK said...

Gtg

I'll see y'all sometime in the afterlife

Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Eve and Sparky!

Nixion Strange said...

Hate to be a sheep, but I'll be back soon. Really soon, like 15 minutes

Bye!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours! See ya then!

Well, better a sheep than a llama, huh?

Nixion Strange said...

Indeed

Star Inkbright said...

Damn. Gtg. I'll bb . . . Um . . . Three hours ish.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Star!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Is it only you and I Nix?

Eve the ROCK said...

Here for a bit until dinner

Hi whoever may be here! I don't know yet! Gonna find out

*presses publish*

Nixion Strange said...

Seems like it

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Hey Eve.

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh! Nix and Heck! What a lovely surprise!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Where's Zath? Haven't seen him in ages AND he hasn't replied to my message.

Helena Ember Sky said...

Eve, call me Em like Sparky instead of Heck please.

Nixion Strange said...

Mist is where Mist is

Helena Ember Sky said...

Haven't seen him in AGES!

Eve the ROCK said...

No, that would make things even more confusing, because people call Emerald Em! It's like Flame Phoenix and Phoenix Mithrandir! Or Nixion Strange and Nix Willows when Phoenix was Nix! Aaaaaarrrrgh!

Fine, I'll call you Helena

Helena Ember Sky said...

Call me Sky then.

Eve the ROCK said...

Dinner bye!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Bye Eve.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!

Nixion Strange said...

Oooookay
