Hi all,
Just a quick note to point out two slight time changes to the UK dates- at Southampton and Guildford- to make sure that readers have enough time to get to the events.
For the Irish dates, we're checking when most schools are back in Kilkenny and Newbridge. Both signings were originally scheduled to happen in the middle of the day- but if the schools are back in session by then, we might move those start times to 3 PM. I'll keep you posted.
Oh, and for all those people asking for a Belfast signing, you now have your wish...
The changes have been made to the post below.

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4920 Newer› Newest»Lorelei: ... You want me to have a pet?
Liliana: It may benefit you.
Lorelei: But I don't have the right to-
Liliana: Baroness. Remember?
Yasmin: Less than you'd expect. I was in a meadow on Earth. Liliana came behind me, pulled my sword out of its sheath and ran me through. Without warning... It hurts to see Bethany such good friends with my murderer.
Bethany: And Claire needs to meet her grandmother?
Onwa: You have the right.
*nods*
I..can understand that..
*hesitates a moment*
I know you won't believe this, but she's not that bad. Change to watch her for a moment? You'll see what I mean..
Mama: *smiles*
That is true..
Lorelei: Thank you... But what if it dies? I'm responsible...
Liliana: You need to get used to being able to own things other than what you wear. Having a pet will teach you about responsibility and how to look after things.
Isabella: She seems to be talking to a slave girl. Apparently she has made her into a baroness. There is another woman there, also.
Bethany: Is Silente's father ever violent to you?
Onwa: A cat is easy, you feed it, you let it out for exercise, you let it in for cuddles.
*creates the hologram of a young cat in her palm, tortus shell and white fur*
Want it?
*frowns slightly*
Huh. That's new. The other one is Onwa. See..that's a nice thing? They're really trying to keep order within their realm..
Mama: *looks shocked*
Violent?
*gently hugs Jaimie, but doesn't stay unless she wants him to*
(*gently hugs Kas back* stay if you want. I may end up murdering my WiFi box soon..)
(*chuckles slightly* seems my rp partner fell asleep.)
(Typical! *cuddles Jai*
You should get some sleep, Jaimie. And drink!)
(*cuddles back*
You can hardly blame her, it is reasonablely late and she was up late last night.
Nah. I'm good for another hour? And I've had drinks! If I drink now I'll wake up needing to pee!)
(Didn't mean it like that, sorry.
And that's good.)
(That's fine. Thank you for apologizing.
*nods*
It is.
You know..
I miss Noelle..
I never really knew her but whenever I read back..
She was a good blogcore, you know? Blogland needs that again..)
(Yeah... I doubt she remembers me, but I remember her... I miss her.)
(She probably does remember you, at least a little.
I rped properly with her once..
She was pregnant I think..
Going up against some guy. Ended up in a cave with me casually tagging along.. Got locked in a room if I remember rightly, while Sil got caught without her serum.. Yeah..
*smiles*
I tried sometimes after that but..She was more of a solo rper by then.
*shrugs*
Still though.)
I remember you, Tia. You were pretty bubbly back when.
*Nods* I remember everyone.
*Goes back to her blogposts and ghosts*
(*smiles and waves briefly at Noelle before allowing her to escape*)
(*not that I have any control whatsoever on if she escapes*
*that came out wrong..*
*changes 'allowing her to escape' into 'watching her go back to blog posts and ghosting'*)
(Mmm... yeah, I guess I was. Take care, Noelle.)
(Today has been..quite nice overall.
I mean, the arguing/heated discussion wasn't the best thing in the world..
and I accidently upset Gem.
But.. Idk..I've been a bit more open today..
It feels nice..feels good.)
(I'm glad today felt good to you.)
(Kas, please understand this..
You're always wanted here.
Don't rely on another's approval to come here.
It's as much your place as any of ours, okay?
I've got to sleep now, but I'll talk tomorrow, okay?
Thanks for existing.
Night.)
(Good night, Jaimie. You're a good person, remember that.)
(*smiles slightly*
Only if you remember you're always welcome here. Try get some rest tonight..?
*hugs then poofs*)
I'm sorry I can't control myself.
http://insanityinmybrain.blogspot.com/
*Can't stop herself from posting this* *Is very sorry and ashamed* Forgive me for this..
*Goes back to ghosting*
(Noelle, there is no need to apologise, it's okay.)
Lonely... where is everyone?
*appears quietly*
*sits by the lake, watching the water lap onto the shore*
(Hey, Hope! *hugs gently*)
*Tanya sits by her, glancing at her, acknowledging her*
*hugs back*
Hi. How are you?
...
*feels Tanya's presence, but stays in the same position, just looking at the lake*
I'm... tired. How are you?
...
Beautiful tranquility, isn't it, Miss?
Distant, sorry. :/ I'm okay, just worried for everyone else I suppose.
...
*the corners of her mouth twitch up in a slight smile*
Yeah, it's calming.
Worried... yes, that's something I can understand and feel. Worried...
...
*looks pleased at seeing her smile*
*lies down on her back, head pointed in the women's direction*
It's a good place to relax.
*hums in an agreeing way*
My name's Lavender, by the way. You don't have to call me Miss.
Lavender? Beautiful name, I have to say. I'm Tanya.
*smiles*
Nice to meet you, Tanya.
*goes quiet again, but feels better at having a companion to relax with*
I used to live by the sea when I was younger. It was rarely peaceful; the waves were rough and dangerous, and we'd go swimming in the evenings. It was a good mix of fighting the waves, and accepting them, going along with them.
*looks at the small waves of the lake*
They were soothing, in a way. Always there.
*Nice to meet you too, Lavender.
*Welcome to Blogland.
*smiles, just listening to the story*
Sorry, Kas. I have to go.
*hugs*
You should probably get some sleep too. :) Have a good night.
(Okay, have a good day, Hopeymoth!)
Yeah, it's three in the morning so I should sleep.
Good night, everyone! (Even the ghosters!)
IN A UNIVERSE WHERE THE ASGARDIANS MADE IN MY HEAD AND NOT TO DO WITH ANY PARTICULAR PLOT, JUST WRITING!!!!
*stands with Astrid, and laughs quietly, overlooking the ruins of Blogland* I told them not to fight me. I warned them, I said to kneel.
Astrid: They didn't listen, Loki. Nor did your sister.
My sister is useless, I care not what happens to her. I am king of Midgard now.
Astrid: My king-
Shhh. *takes her hand* You are my queen, I want nothing more.
Astrid: *points to Zanida walking towards them*
Kneel.
Zanida: Not to you. *draws lance*
*several copies of him appear around her all throwing a dagger, but the real dagger gets her in the stomach*
I said, kneel. *grabs her*
Zanida: Get off!!!!!
The glorious battle is won, sister. I have taken Midgard for my kingdom.
Zanida: You upset the peace-
Enough. You either accept me as king here, or I swear to you, you will never be on Asgard again.
Zanida: You'll never be king.
I am one.
Zanida: Not here and not in this way!
I was born to be king, it is my birth right.
Zanida: No. You were supposed to die.
As were you.
Zanida: Laufey wanted me.
Silence. You have a choice, make one.
Zanida: *eyes him, before kneeling*
Good. You may return home.
Zanida: What of Thor?
He is there.
*ZAN AND LOKI RETURN HOME TO THEIR OWN DIMENSION*
Zanida: Loki....
I know. We cannot allow it.
Zafira: As long as those two dimensions never cross, its okay.
They may cross.
Zafira: We're fine.
(Plot twist...)
Lorelei: I do...
Isabella: You don't understand...
Bethany: It was just a question?
Onwa: *looks at the cat hologram, eyes slowly lighting up before twin streams of moonlight hit the hologram, materialising it*
*smiles, placing the cat in her lap*
*nods*
I know I don't..
Mama: He..he isn't..violent..
(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly* Apologies for the late reply.)
Lorelei: *she cuddles the cat* ... Hello, little one...
Isabella: She killed me and my sisters.
Bethany: Are you sure?
(*cuddles back, smiling*)
Onwa: You need to name it and care for it.
*nods*
I know..
Mama: I-I..well of course I am..
Lorelei: ... Is it a boy or a girl?
Isabella: I hate her. I really do hate her.
Bethany: So why don't you sound it?
Onwa: Male. They tend to be more playful that females.
*stands up, returning to Liliana's side*
*nods*
Yeah..I can see why you would..
Mama: Well I-I-
Granmama: It's a sin to lie, daughter. Even more so to an angel
*sits down, pouring herself some tea*
Lorelei: I'm going to name it... Bobby.
Yasmin: I want her to pay for what she has done to me and my sisters.
Bethany: *she stands up* I will be back in a moment. *she wanders off to find Silente's father*
Onwa: *smiles slightly*
*materializes a collar and tosses it to her, it has 'Bobby' written on it*
No..revenge isn't the answer Yasmin..
Papa: *is in his study*
Granmama: *follows Beth*
Lorelei: Thank you...
Liliana: Will you be able to find your own way around the palace?
Yasmin: *she sighs, sitting down, head in hands* I know...
Bethany: *she checks the bedrooms, before coming to his study* *she walks in* You have a lot to answer for.
Onwa: *watches the girl and the cat*
*sits next to her, putting an arm around her shoulders*
It's okay...it's natural for you to want revenge, for you to hate Liliana but... the world doesn't work like that. Revenge won't help you, it'll just hurt others.
Papa: *frowns, looking at Beth*
Excuse me?
Granmama: *stands in the doorway*
Lorelei: I... Think I can find my way around... Thank you... Both of you... So much...
Yasmin: I suppose...
Bethany: You have abandoned your own daughter, you are homophobic, and you hurt your own wife. You are vile, and pathetic. Your religion is telling you different things to how you are acting. You are no father, and you are no husband. You disgust me. There is no love in you, only hate. And as your scripture says, "He who does not love does not know god".
Onwa: *nods slightly*
We'll return to visit at a later date, to see how you're doing. Don't be afraid to send a messenger.
Trust me, killing Liliana would just make you feel horrible, maybe good for a microsecond before you realized fully what you'd done. And it'd hurt Beth, Onwa, Claire..it'd aid Minerve too.
Papa: Excuse me! Who are you to judge me?! I am not pathetic!
Lorelei: Okay... Thank you...
Liliana: *she takes Onwa's hand and they vanish in a flash of grey, reappearing in their palace*
Isabella: She is right, Yasmin.
Bethany: Yes, you are. You have a home, and a family, and you don't deserve any of it. You tried to kill your own daughter, you beat your wife, you are a despicable person. You do not deserve to have these people around you.
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: *smirks, turning to Liliana*
Now, where were we?
*nods*
I am..you have to move past it which I know, seems impossible and sounds cold and emotionless but..its the only way.
Papa: I do not beat my wife and I tried to slay the demon that has possession of my daughter! All I have I have earned through work and loyalty to our Lord.
(hi
just a quick question
did anyone notic3e that El left?)
(*goes again*)
(Hey Chloe!
I knew he left the rp but I didn't see any comment about him permanently leaving..?)
(Wait come back sorry I was distant cause I'm reading and no one emailed me!)
Blogger Ellie Kitty said...
...
*takes a shuddering breath*
*sighs*
I'm so done... with this blog.
I thought I had found a utopia. A place where everyone was welcome, everyone was welcomed, everyone was nice, everyone was respected.
Clearly
I was wrong.
February 20, 2015 at 5:03 AM
Just to help *nods*
*poofs
Because I shouldn't be here*
*not that it matters*
*eh*
(Oh. El. Thought you said Ed. Yes I saw that, and I've been emailing her.)
(Everyone has the one special person that they role play with, that one person that makes them come on and that's the only one that they talk to.
If someone does not have a person like that, it makes everything hard.
Because everyone ignores you unless you say something to really get their attention.
...
In other news, if you want to feel like you're dying, I sugget having an Up & Go for breakfast....)
(*hugs Danni gently*)
No, Elleni. You were right. You just aren't anymore. *hugs her tightly*
(Hi Kas.)
Hey, Jaimie. *hugs her tightly*
How are you feeling?
(*hugs tightly back*
Not so bad. You?)
I'm... less tired.
So, would you like to talk about anything?
Oh . . . I've never had a special person.
(Nah. I'm good.
@Star aww. We're ALL your special person!
And you're your special person.)
It's okay, Star. We're all here for you. *huggles*

I believe what Death said, or something along those lines, is true for much of this new generation. And I believe it is one of the main reasons why this blog has become so dangerous. Everyone only ever seems to roleplay in groups of two or three. That makes it more difficult for people to actually care about each other's plots and characters. How many people regularly comment on plots they have nothing to do with? I have rarely ever seen it happen here. So if most people here regularly are roleplaying in groups of two or three, anyone else who appeared would feel out of place. Even for people who are roleplaying in those groups, some sense of community is lost. In my generation, if someone roleplayed an engagement, everyone else- and I do mean nearly everyone- would comment on it. It would become a topic of at least brief discussion, and then others would wish to be involved in throwing all the relevant parties, and attending the actual wedding.
I will not claim that it is impossible to care about an author if you don't care about what they're roleplaying, but if you were deeply emotionally involved in a roleplay, or even just dedicating significant portions of time to it, and no one else seemed to care, would that not be even the slightest but isolating? Aretha's generation developed as authors while they developed as characters, and most of the people on the blog at that time regarded each other as good friends. Some people felt ignored and left- mostly the previous generation of people who didn't care for roleplay. It was far from perfect. But they did try to accommodate those people, and whenever anyone left, it, again, became a topic of conversation.
It sounds as though I am merely prattling on about how much better things were in my time, but that is not my only intention. If you lot want to stay on this blog in a different manner than that of my generation, I have no way of stopping you, and to suggest that anything different can't work would be narrowminded of me. But something needs to change if it is to become a safe haven again.
While I appreciate that it is difficult to lose someone you love, or thought you loved, this is not a playground for fights. Every time a hateful comment is left here, for whatever reason, someone else becomes distressed or uncomfortable. If you feel you must argue with someone, do it somewhere else. Otherwise you destroy the safe place of a third party.
Having a bad day, or feeling down for a week or a month because of some problems in your life, does not constitute depression. Depression is a clinical illness that is just as physical as something like cancer. Using the term "depression" where it is not rightly applicable only belittles the issues that people with real depression face, and that is another thing that can make people here feel unsafe.
Honestly, if people here were always at least civil to each other, thought about what others might think before they commented, and actually put in more of an effort to include each other- regardless of whether or not it is in the roleplay- this place might not be as bad. Caring isn't just leaving a comment of acknowledgement of a near stranger. It is actually extending yourself to someone else, expressing an interest in who they are, and being kind every now and then without prompting. And if everyone here only cares for one person, it's too easy for anyone else to feel left out.
...
Hello, Alastair.
And see you later, Hope!
(I just don't have any more fight left in me, Alastair. I know I'm useless. I know that no matter how caring I try to be to anyone on this blog, it doesn't change a thing.
I'm just an oddity. Nothing more.
And I am sorry for all the pain I have caused.)
I'm neither going to agree with Alastair, not disagree. I'm getting honestly tired of constantly having this discussion...
I just want it all to stop...
*has so many conflicting thoughts right now*
*sighs*
...
That you claim to be useless isn't helping you or anyone else. But you shouldn't see every problem here is something that you personally are responsible for, or that you singlehandedly must solve. You can't. One person does not make up a community. And others are just as responsible for extending themselves to you as you are to other people.
I am going to agree with that though.
Nothing that goes on here is caused by just one person. It belongs to everyone who was participating, whether in good interest or not. And I don't only mean the fighting. EVERYTHING we do here is surrounded by the actions of all of us.
(Mmm... maybe you're right, Alastair...)
(Hey, Hope.)
Silence...
When nothing can be heard...
*sputters*
Well then. That was late.
*facepalms*
I would have deleted it, buuuuut-
*looks pointedly at Kas*
Hi, by the way. How are you?
I'm *breathes* okay, I guess. I don't know.
How are you? What are you up to?

(Hey, Duggy!)
(I can read parts of that. My phone is limited in what it can see, unfortunately.)
Hi Dug. How are you?
(The kittens are so cute!!! They're adorable and I think they hate me but it's SO DARN CUTE!!!)
Yeah, seems that way with each person and their phones/mobile devises/computers. I was just saying that there was a certain font I liked, but I can't find it anymore. :P
(They're hiding in the corner of the chair :(
They're also playing pile on apparently..)
(Kittens?)
(Also, I'm looking into something. I've seen that usually, American fast food restaurants will do refills for free, but in UK you don't get free refills.
Do fast food restaurants do free refills in Japan?)
(Yeah. The ones that miraculously survived)
That's great, Sil!
*wonders if that wish of hers actually worked*
...
I want to believe it, but at the same time, I'm not taking all my came-true wishes for granted.
(@Lavender your wishes almost always come true O-o
Guys! Lavender is a fairy!
Or an adept mage!)
(*huggles Jaimie tightly* cute kittens. I hope they'll live.
Now please, change your name back.)
(*huggles tightly back*
*looks at name*)
*laughs*
It's freaky, right?!
@Kas: I don't know about everywhere, but mostly you don't get free refills. I do know it's true that you can in America though.
(It is a little freaky yeah..)
I'm going to admit something kinda embarrassing.
When I was 11, I still believed I was a fairy, and after telling my one friend, she never let me forget it. XP
Jaimie, you're not anonymous. You are a person and I'm glad to know you, glad you're here.
^same goes for you, Hope! *pulls them both into a warm hug :3
I just woke up and I will speak of what I found that I agree with.
Alastair and Rose are far from wrong, they are spot on. It seems that people come and go with a small group and that's it. This is why I hardly come on, I feel excluded because whenever I'm in school the plots go on, but if I have off, like today, I feel lost. I don't comment because of the exclusive feel towards everything.
In my generation, it was a community. That's what we need. If people want to feel good, we need a community aspect so everyone is involved. I tried that with Loki, but only Rose and Alastair cared.
-Zaf
(Mmm... *hugs Zaffy* I'm always here for you, Zaf. If I'm excluding you, tell me.)
(*looks at kas* Better?
Hi Zaf.
I'd rather not comment on the whole closed of community groups thing, because I know I'm a culprit (and probably one of the reasons Alastair mentions engagements) and I despise being a hypocrite.)
*sighs*
Zaf, that's because I want to see you for you. I came to accept that you can't help but have the god stuck in your head, but I miss just talking to Zafira Kerias.
*hugs her*
*hugs Kas too, though she already knows she's a person*
I'm happy to know you too, Kas, and also that you're here.
*smiles*
(The kittens are like weeping angels! I look at my phone for one second and they're THERE)
*huggy Duggy*
(Better. But your name is still Jaimie. *nods and hugs*)
(Deleted comment?)
You know what else? I also came to accept that the blog is not how it had been when I was a regular, and I'm okay with it. What we should try doing is accept certain things and just move on with it. We can still make a community, but with the newer gen, it needs something for them to grow into. I'm calling this the role playing generation. It can still be a community if we make an effort to bring it together.
I know we already tried that, but KEEP TRYING. It can't work by just one try, it has to be constantly cared for in order to get it to ANYTHING like the old gen.
I'm not even sure if I'm getting my point out, so forgive me if I'm saying something confusing or not completely right. I may also say something different later, so don't completely believe everything I'm saying now. My mind changes views easily...
(Ow. It ate my finger :)
*hugs Kassy back*)
(Yeah... *hugs Hope*)
I commented something about free refills and deleted it because I don't eat out much and I could only cite two sources, so I wasn't 100% sure if it was true.
These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.
[moves along]
*mumbles*
I feel like I'm getting too busy in the day to be on, and there's not much time at night that I can be here and still sleep early enough...
*sighs*
Meaning it's midnight so I should get to bed. Bye guys.
*hugs*
(Good night, Hope!)
(Hey, Fabi.)
Mmm... breakfast.
I often don't mind talking as myself, I am now. I can easily do that, I just always felt that people ignored me as Zaf.
-Zaf
My generation mainly roleplayed, as well. And I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with things changing. That is not the point I meant to make. I don't think I have heard anyone call Blogland a safe place in a very long time. As I said before, I have no control over how others choose to act here. But it does not seem to me like acceptance of anything in particular will make the community stronger.
Much of my point is that this blog seems to have become centered around individuals in isolated situations. That may be roleplaying with only one person, or talking to only one person, or one person trying to take the responsibility of holding others together all on their own.
I am just as guilty of that as anyone else; though I have tried, on a few occasions, to interact with others, those occasions are few and far in between, and I can hardly claim that I am extending myself towards others. A while ago, I came here only for my Adra, or for Noelle. I am addressing the issue anyway because it seems to need attention.
If people are happy in small groups, then I suppose they're happy, and whatever I may think doesn't matter. But people have been hurt and people have left because they don't feel that there is a safe and communal atmosphere here anymore, and I see no reason why that should be accepted if it is unfavorable to most people here.
Thanks, Alice. You said what I have been trying to say.
-Zaf
Of course, as I said earlier, responsibility for maintaining a community falls evenly upon each of its members, and talking will only do so much. I appreciate that you seemto agree, Zafira, but if you want things to be different you have to make an effort to change them. Pay just as much attention to others as you would want paid to yourself.
I find it next to impossible with this gen, they seem to be content on not talking unless they're in their little groups. -Zaf
(I am fine with roleplaying in twos or threes. First, I consider who is online at the same time that I am. And then how many people I would be willing to roleplay with. The answer is few. Three at the very most. It is, admittedly, mostly the authors who I have a problem with. But it can also be the characters also, perhaps not being as coherent as I would like.)
Liliana: Hmm... *she kisses Onwa passionately*
Yasmin: I understand.
Bethany: Loyalty? No, this is not loyalty to your god. This is hatred, and spite. All you have is because of your actions against your god, not for it.
(*cuddles Soph*
*nods slightly*
I do try..although perhaps not as hard as I should do.. it can be difficult sometimes. If characters don't click you have to have something dramatic happen and often I was insulted for being overly dramatic, hence I backed off.)
Onwa: *kisses her passionately back, grinning, tugging at the dress*
Good..
Papa: Get out of my household. I shan't listen to this insolence!
Granmana: Son, she an angel and a guest. Do not speak as you do to her.
You have made it clear that that is how you like your roleplays, Sophia, and I have no problem with that. The problem is introduced when people dislike their situation, and the fact remains that many people often feel ignored, left out, or not cared for here. Roleplaying is not necessarily the cause of the issue, and I do not mean to say that it must be changed.
Perhaps it should be in instances where people feel left out, but that remains to be seen. My main point is that many people do not feel there is a working community here, and I believe that should be remedied.
(Hello, Jaimie. *she cuddles her back, tightly*
I also do not see why I should feel like I have to roleplay with people whom I do not like. I am perfectly in my rights to refuse to roleplay with people.)
Liliana: *she removes her dress, smiling, pressing against Onwa*
Isabella: Would you like something to eat or drink?
Bethany: I speak the truth. Your scripture, which, may I add, was inspired by my mother, preaches love and peace. Yet you have taken it as an invite to violence. Why?
I definitely understand your point Sophia but I'm worried that it is stuff like that (especially if everyone did that) that would make people feel like they're not welcome. But I completely understand and I think we need to find a balance.
Silente, you've done a great job, thank you for being willing to role play with me.
Onwa: *holds her close, grinning, running her hands along the bare skin*
Sure. What do you have?
Papa: Get. Out. Angel or no I shall not be questioned nor insulted within my own house hold!
(*nods at Audra* no need to thank me..I welcome everyone..)
(Also hello Audra. How are you?)
(There are some people who have done things which would perfectly justify people not caring about them. It is not the majority, only a few, but nevertheless. You cannot blame the community for their own wrongdoings. However, I am a firm believer in people being the change that they want to see. If people want something to change, it is their responsibility to attempt to change it.)
Like now, see how fast Sophia jumps in with just Silente. Its times like these I go distant and vanish because I feel like I can't talk because they are back to their solitary plot. I like to roleplay, but I cannot stand this whole small group thing.
-Zaf
(@Zaf you never ask to rp, and if I don't know you're here then I can't talk to you..sometimes even when I DO try rp or talk to you you just ignore me, say we've ignored you and then leave..)
Have you tried asking people about themselves, Zafira, or commenting on their issues? You may find it difficult, but complaints are useless if there is no effort made to change things.
It is not my intention to accuse anyone; there is no need for people to feel defensive. That will only harm the issue further. There are too many negative sentiments here already. Part of the idea is to create a more constructive atmosphere.
I love your plots, Silente and Sophia. They are very good :)
I'm...
How are you?
(Thank you Audra.
You're _____?
I'm..
*sighs*
Yeah, I'd say fine but I'm also worried and self conscious at this exact moment. I'll get over it..)
*jumps in, pulling Alastair, Zaffy, Jaimie and Audra into a hug*
Hey! :3
Zafira, accusations will only make everything worse. You can't solve your problems that way.
(*hugs Kas back*
Hey. How're you?)
(I'm alright.
No, I'm okay. I'm okay.)
Yes, Silente. I'm ______.
Would you like one continue our role play?
(Of course not. Enjoy.
*leaves a second loaf and walks off*)
(How's your day been Kassy?)
I msd.
(Okay Dreams. I won't pester..
*hugs*)
()
*lurks nearby, watching, sat cross legged, interested in the starving human*
I just don't comment if I see people like them in a plot so engaged...I just feel like if I comment I intrude.
I just feel that way.
-Zaf
(Okay Alastair.)
(You should comment anyway Zaf. I love role-playing and I seriously try to rp with everyone. Unfortunately there's only one Sil except for when I make a Sil 2.. I need a load of Sil clones xD)
(You can always talk to me, Zaf. *hugs*)
*drops from a tree near Audra, watching her*
Hello?
(*glares at food*
Someone eat my tea-which-is-more-like-dinner for me please? I feel guilty not eating it but I also really don't want to eat anything at all..)
(Daaaamn. That's two ded's I've saved up, at least..)
*she eats another slice of bread, frowning*
*people don't just give strangers (especially ones they just tried to eat!) Food.. maybe there was something wrong with it*
*Audra stops chews, looking at her bread suspiciously*
(Zafira, this is not meant in a hostile manner, but even if you actually attempted to roleplay with me, which you do not, I would not want to roleplay with you, and as such it cannot exactly be used as an example of people "ignoring" you.)
Liliana: *she smiles* I love you, Onwa.
Isabella: Anything.
Bethany: Then go outside?
(@Jai Hey, Tanya clones are best clones! Do you want a Tanya clone?)
*she spins around to face Tanya, still not chewing the bread*
*she has a full mouth so she can't talk but it could be poisoned..*
*Audra finally decides then swallow the bread, she's already had a loaf so if it's going to kill her it's too late*
Hello, what do you want?
Onwa: I love you too Liliana.
Anything? Could I have some blo- bl..bla..blackcurrant juice..please..
Papa: No. You will leave the premise now.
()
*the bread is fine*
*not poisoned*
(Zaf?)
Food.
You want food?
*she looks at her loaf, breaking off a piece and offering it to Tanya*
Fine, here.
(*sighs and hesitantly eats*)
()
*creeps slightly closer, watching Tanya and the girl*
Not that, I'm a vampire!
Liliana: *she tugs at Onwa's dress, smiling*
Yasmin: A vampire wanting blackcurrant juice?
Isabella: She was going to say blood. *she tilts her head to the side* Go ahead.
Bethany: Not until I get through to you that you are acting wrong.
*That should have come out in a less hostile way
Onwa: *grins, the dress vanishing*
Oh no that's fine, I wouldn't want to drink from my fiancée's sister..
Papa: Don't make me call security!
()
*growls slightly from where she's hidden*
Sorry, felt itvwas better being away.-Zaf
(Mmm... *hugs Zaffy*)
(@Zaf join in the Audra rp? Or I can send Sil after zaf xD you remember how fuuuuun that is.)
O-oh. I can't help you with that.
*she takes a small step back from Tanya, spinning around towards the growl*
H-hello?
()
*steps out slightly, eyes locked on Tanya*
*throws a blood bag at her feet*
Eat.
*brushes past Audra, towards the who she knew was there*
Hello, Silente.
()
Hello Tanya.
*nods at the blood bag*
Dinners ready.
*jumps when the blood bag hits the ground*
What's that?
(Gtg, bye!)
(Bye Audra :)
(Bye, Audra!)
(Should we continue the rp? :/)
(Or do something else?)
(It'd be a bit rude to continue..?)
(Something else.
*nods*)
I guess....You can send whomever you want after whoever. I'm just sitting at home shivering in -27 temps so if I go distant I'm making tea.
-Zaf
(And if I disappear, I fell asleep..)
)()(
Hey Kas help me raid Zaf's sanctuary?
(*hands Zaffy the RTG worm*
Tea is good. Stay warm, Zaffy.)
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Liliana: Mmm... Much better.
Isabella: It's fine. Honestly, it is.
Bethany: You have security in your house?
Raid? To what purpose?
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: *grins*
Indeed. Mm..
*tugs on Liliana's underwear*
Are you Sure..? It'll hurt..
Papa: It's private property, of course we do
(Okay Soph.)
)()(
*shrugs*
To see if she's improved her security. Also, I want scythe.
I'm bored. Let's do it.
(Also, Tanya is slightly pissed off at Sil for treating her like a damn dog. Expect a dagger in the back.)
(I'm sorry, msd because parents.
*hugs Jaimie extra tightly and braces for disappearance*)
(A dog? *looks confused*
*groans* mums working till nine..I can't nap!)
)()(
Cool!
*opens a portal to Zaf's sanctuary*
Ladies first
*grins*
(*hugs kas back*
Nuh..if you go I'll fall asleep!!!)
*pushes her in*
(Why can't you sleep till then?)
(She chucked food on the ground and said "Eat." Tanya isn't happy.)
(cause I have to babysit.)
(Ohhhh..oops)
)()(
Ahh!
*goes flying through and crashes into the sanctuary doors*
*blinks, dizzy*
*stands quickly*
Tanya! That's rude! And not stealthy!
Hush! I love you and you treat me like a dog!
*her anger disappears as she sees Silente being dizzy and about to stumble*
*she catches her, and holds her upright*
*softly* Are you okay?
((No, I'm too tired, because I've been dealing with this shit for almost five years.
And yet I can still muster enough power to say something and do something on top of all of my personal and social issues.
There's a difference between laziness and tired.
Between being responsible, and waiting for others to do something. Solving problems is a community issue, and a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.
...
That's what I have to say. Of course I'm resentful of this blog. I contributed to the majority of this problem, but I can't be the one to fix everything. I can't go back to that any more, because I have shit to do. So it needs to be everyone.
...
That is my angry two cents. Please, be angry at me if it makes you feel better. I'm just exhausted with being yelled at, and I'm used to it.))
(I'm not angry at you, Noelle. And I agree.)
*Zafira sits at her desk, reading various files, and thinking of what Loki and her discovered. It was peaceful today, thank god*
You are far too wise for me to be angry at you, Noelle.
Would say more, but am conversing irl atm.
((*Hugs Star gently*))

:/
Just ignore it, if it makes you feel better.
*Nods*
