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 1401 – 1600 of 4920 Newer› Newest»@Taia: :) It's fine. It's cool. :)
And, yeah, it is pretty bleak. :) :) That's sort of the point.
It's a dead world, though. But the Stormlight Archive has a living world, and living worlds are so ALIVE. That's part of the reason why I liek the Stormlight Archive - their world is so vibrant and world-like. :)
(*cuddles GemGem*)
Liliana: And I love you too. Even if it is hard to stop myself from drinking your blood.
(Indeed, Jaimie.
I will be back soon.)
Onwa: Go ahead, I can always make more.
*smiles*
I'm glad to know you like the taste so much.
*finishes drying off and pulls on her underwear and dress, focusing on towel drying her hair*
*ekops Fabi* (? :P)
Fabi
Fabi
your p ic tu r e
:)
@Star: *laughs* Oh, cool. :)
I'll look forward to it (for a long time)! :)
... I haven't read anything with it's own WORLD for a long while.
I wanted to read LOTR, but I need to get hold of a copy of The Hobbit, since ours is somewhere which is Not Here, and I want to read that first.
I'm not good at getting books I actually mean to get. :P
(*Cuddles Jai*)
(I am here! *hiccups and giggles*)
(*cuddles everyone*
Oh God...Chloe have you been drinking?)
(*cuddles* noooooooo
And sorry for earlier ! I didn't realise you were talking to me! It was so quiet so I left but you talked to me as I was leaving)
(*facepalm*
'Noooooooo'
Meaning yes.
*rolls eyes*)
(*giggles* I'm only on my first and only can)
*pops in*
*hugs Jaimie and Chloe*
I love you both. I would be really upset if something bad happened to you.
*crawls under a rock*
(Mmm.. suuuuure.
*shakes head at Chloe*
*mumbles 'light weight'*
*cuddles Kas back*
Love you too Bach.)
(I am back.)
Liliana: *she sinks her teeth into her neck again, starting to drink her blood*
Bethany: *her body shines white, drying her almost instantaneously, and she changes into her underwear and her white and green dress*
(*cuddles Soph tightly* hey beautiful.)
Onwa: *hisses slightly, smiling, shifting closer*
*blinks at the white light*
*smiles, continuining to towel dry her hair*
That's one way to do it.
(*cuddles kassy* awwwwww
And I am a proud light weight
It means I need less for fun and do less damage to my body)
(Good point Chloe.
Advantages of being a lightweight!)
(That...was quite a sober thought *grins*)
(Good. Sober thoughts are good!)
(*cuddles Jaimie tightly back* I am definitely not beautiful.)
Liliana: *she runs her tongue over her neck as she drinks*
Bethany: *she nods and smiles, sitting next to her* Let me... *she gently runs a light through Silente's hair*
(Aye
I think I subconsciously think that I'm drunk because I've ha a drink whereas in reality I'm not drunk because I haven't has much
And there's a drunk one)
Onwa: *moans quietly, smiling*
*smiles*
Thanks. That's probably quicker.
(*nods as if she understands Chloe*)
(It makes sense in my head!
Whooo! Avengers ! )
(I know what you mean, Chloe. I didn't think I was drunk once and then I tried to...
Yeah, you remember.
*cuddles them both and returns to the rock*)
(*shakes head*
So you think you're placeboing yourself..?)
(*huggles eeryone* yep!
That made sense to me . . .
Oops. :P
@Taia: :)
I love the fact the Stormlight Archive is a WORLD. It's like . . . idek. It's just so REAL and so COMPLICATED, and you have so many different cultures and a whole lot of different biology and :) :) :). It's just cool. :P
And then there's the CHARACTERS. Don't even get me started on the CHARACTERS.
And then there's the PLOT. Okay, admittedly, there isn't much of a plot, because it's so . . . it's such a detaiiled book that we didn't even get onto the main plot by the end of the first thousand pages. So it's kind of a slowwwww plot. But that's cool. Because it works at the speed a world would work, with the complexity a world would work. :) And like . . .
the WRITING. It's just written so well arghhhhh.
Okay.
Stopping now.
Stopping. :P
Msd, I want to do art homework whilst listening to music. :) :)
(@Star Sheesh, nobody tell Star about Mass Effect or Dragon Age.)
(*Cuddles Kassy tightly*)
(*cuddles Gemma back*
*looks at her*)
Liliana: *she drinks more of her blood*
Bethany: *she nods and smiles, putting on her shoes* Wait... should I wear tights?
(Hey gem)
Onwa: *gently massages her thighs, sighing happily, rapidly producing fresh blood for her*
If you want to.
*is trying to work out where she'd hide in ring box*
*for some reason in her bra doesn't seem the right place for it*
(Wb Chloe)
*Looks back up at Kassy and smiles*
(*smiles* how art thou?)
Kassy! >.<
*runs after him laughing*
(I'll be going now. Goodbye.)
Liliana: *she sighs happily, slurping her blood*
Bethany: Yes... I think I'll wear tights. *she takes off her shoes, moving to her wardrobe and taking out some tights, putting them on, before putting her shoes on again*
(Byii Kas Kas)
Onwa: *laughs slightly, squirming*
Tickles..
*quickly brushes her hair*
*grabs a waist length jacket for herself and slips the ring box into an inside pocket when Beth isn't looking*
*slips on some heels to lend her some height and a touch of make up to help make her look a bit older*
Okay. Ready.
Already had Dragona tell me about Mass Effect in quite some detail. :)
I don't have the . . . . . . . . . . equipment or the time to play video games, though.
(I had pancakes but they were a let down... CURSE YOU BETTY CROCKER! *cries* Today's my favourite day of the year- I get food with cake in it! But I didn't get proper pancakes today... Stupid Betty ruined my favourite holiday... :()
(*didn't get any pancakes today*
*not one*
*sighs*)
(SEIR!!!!!)
(*hugs Jai* If it helps, mine burnt on the outside but wasn't cooked on the inside... :()
(*hugs seirsha back* I'm sorry your day didn't work out.)
:( *hugs Jai*
It's okay. Next time you have pancakes, you can make your own special pancake day. :)
(Taia's suggestion. A good one.)
(Bye Kassy...)
*adds an @Seirsha to the paragraph above, too*
(CHLOE!)
(I'm sorry yours didn't work out either! *hugs*
YAY STAR!)
Liliana: Shame... *she smiles, drinking more blood*
Bethany: And I'm ready, too. And the laptop device has told me the address to the restaurant, and I know something that they sell, so that's good. *she extends her hand* Lets go. *smiles* *she activates the sigil on her necklace with her other hand, her wings vanishing*
*is fully sobbing by this point*
*theyre making me go to school after shit all sleep for three days straight*
*and mums angry because I'm 'acting like a todler*
*continues to cry*
Onwa: *grins, sighing happily*
Indeed..
*takes her hand, smiling*
*leans close, kissing her quickly, smiling*
(*tightly hugs Danni*)
(-8huggles Danni *)
(*hugs Danni*
:c)
*curls up*
*just wants to sleep...*
(Say you're not feeling well?)
(I agree with Kas, I usually do that. If she says no you could try reach a compromise and descide to go in at lunch?)
Liliana: *she withdraws her fangs from her neck, licking the puncture holes gently*
Bethany: *she kisses her back before they vanish in a flash of light, reappearing outside the Italian restaurant Bethany had booked them in to* So our names on the list are Bethany Tempest and Ashlea Crimson?
(Well I'm ping now
Nos da!)
Onwa: *shivers, smiling*
Full?
*the blood keeps pumping for a moment until she remembers to stop producing it*
Yep. *squeezes her hand*
Liliana: Nearly. *she runs her tongue over her neck to clean up the excess blood*
Bethany: *she squeezes her hand back, leading her into the restaurant*
Onwa: *smiles, shivering slightly*
*follows her, smiling*
Liliana: So, what would you like to do today?
Bethany: *she approaches one of the staff waiting to designate them a table* We have a reservation... Bethany Tempest and Ashlea Crimson?
Restaurant Worker: *she quickly checks the list* Yes, you do. A table for two? Right this way. *she smiles, leading them across the restaurant*
Onwa: Hmm..perhaps we should expand our kingdom?
*grins, walking with Beth*
Liliana: Another city, perhaps?
Restaurant Worker: *she stops beside a table for two in a secluded part of the restaurant* There you go. I'll send a waitress over in a few moments to take your order.
Bethany: *she smiles, sitting down at the table, looking at the menu*
Onwa: Of course...perhaps not in the silver and shadow forest..
*pulls Beth's chair out for her before she sits*
*sits in her own chair, smiling*
So, food?
(I did try that, but they won't have any of it, Kas...
Now. I'm going to go to the nurse's office - and because im awesome friends with them - I'll just ask if they can let me sleep for a little....
*curls up tightly on a beanbag*)
(*hugs her warmly*
I hope you get some sleep.
*nods*)
(*leaves because feeling awful*)
Liliana: Perhaps not. Why don't you choose a location?
Bethany: Yes... I know what a pizza is. So I think I'll have that? And... some water? What will you have?
Onwa: Hmm..I believe there's a waterfall east of us?
Lasagne I think..and a red wine..
*smiles*
(*hugs Jaimie who is awesome*
*leaves*)
(Good idea Danni!
Bye Kas... :()
(*hugs Kassie back*)
(*pops back to tickle Seirsha and leaves again*)
(*giggles and waves*)
Liliana: *she smiles* Take me.
Bethany: Right. *she smiles* I have enough money to pay for this. I have some pounds... Claire gave me some.
Onwa: *takes her arm and teleports*
*rolls eyes*
Offfff course she did. It's okay, I'll pay..
(*starts humming "Complicated"*)
Liliana: *she smiles at the waterfall* This is indeed a good place.
Bethany: No, she gave me the money, I can pay. *she smiles at Silente* I don't want you to pay. Claire has so much money...
Onwa: *smiles*
So, shall we?
She's not the only one with money..and we really shouldn't spend her money..
Liliana: *she nods* Yes, we shall. Let's start with the city walls.
Bethany: Okay... You can pay. But I'll pay you back... at some point.
Waitress: *she walks over to their table* Hello, I'm Amy, and I will be your waitress for this morning. What would you like?
Onwa: *smiles*
We could just thicken the branches in some places to make an impassable barrier?
Maybe you will..
*smiles at Amy*
Hi. I'll have lasagne and you finest red wine please, Beth?
Liliana: That would work, I suppose. However, how would the people get out should they want to visit the other city?
Bethany: I'll have a pizza and a glass of water, please...
Waitress: *she looks at Silente* Would you like a glass or the bottle?
*she turns to Bethany* What type of pizza would you like?
Bethany: A... Uh... Normal one?
Waitress: A margarita?
Bethany: *she looks at Silente, looking confused* I... Yes?
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: You could have a gate?
Bottle, please.
*nods at Beth*
Yes, margarita.
They won't let me sleep....
Seriously?-Zaf
(Sorry about vanishing, I just got on my laptop...)
Liliana: *she smiles* That'd make sense. Let's have that.
Bethany: Yes one of them.
Waitress: So that's a lasagne, a bottle of red wine, a margarita pizza and a glass of water. *she smiles* Thank you. Your order will be with you shortly. *she walks off*
(Can you sleep in lessons, Danni?)
Its fine.-Zaf
Onwa: *nods*
How large an area?
*smiles, doing her best not to fidget*
Liliana: Hmm... A rather large area?
Bethany: Is there something wrong?
Onwa: *rolls her eyes, smiling*
Bigger or smaller than the last one?
*smiles*
No. Thank you, by the way, for this.
No, I can't.
*hugs Zaf*
Liliana: Larger. And I want to create a Cathedral.
Bethany: You're paying... All I did was search for pizza... You have nothing to thank me for.
Onwa: *nods*
Walls first, then buildings.
*focuses, taking a deep breath, then starts her work, branches on trees growing wider, thicker, denser*
But you suggested it.
*keeps hugging* Do you want Loki?-Zaf
Liliana: Of course. *she smiles, watching Onwa work*
Bethany: I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but you seem kind of nervous?
Sure, Zaf.
Onwa: *moves her hands a bit like Shea conducting music, leaves sprouting along the branches, hiding any tiny holes*
*makes it at the base of the waterfall, no danger of anyone falling over then*
Sorry. Dates make me kinda nervous?
Hello, love.
Loki... Thank you. About yesterday...
*hugs him tightly*
Liliana: I enjoy watching you.
Bethany: At least if you touched your necklace, people wouldn't run out screaming. *she smiles, taking her hand*
Onwa: *smirks*
I am quite a sight to behold.
*grins, continuing until the wall is built, leaving a grand arch for an exit/entrance and two gaps for the water to stream through*
*smiles, squeezing her hand*
That or drop to their knees praying
(Sorry... Poofed.)
(*hugs Danni*
*looks at her*
*lets go and sits down next to her*)
*hugs Rose* I understand.
Kas: Yo Loki, you're really old and wise, aren't you?
I am wise, I would gather. Why do you ask?
Kas: How much do you know about relationships?
I... I don't think you do. I didn't think that you would... That you'd help me...
(Danni! *huggles*)
(Danni! *huggles*)
(*huggles Kas back* Hey)
(...
Hey, Danni. How are you feeling?)
(I'm sleepy...)
(Mmm... me too. *unexpectedly bops her nose, smiling*
Danni... stupid time zones.)
(*smiles back* You should sleep... *huggles*)
(I hope I see you when I wake up...
I've already ruined everything.
*sighs*)
Kas...?
Kas? Sorry I had food pop up!-Zaf
Kas, you didn't ruin anything.
Can't sleep.
:/
*hugs Danni and Zaffy*
Ruined a friendship or two or all.
How...?-Zaf
I'm sure you didn't ruin anything. I'm certain of it.
*hugs tighter*
Please let us talk about other things. I want to sheep peacefully tonight...
*hugs them both*
I'm sorry, Kas... *hugs*
I'm sorry, Kas... *hugs*
(Please don't be sorry. *hugs happily*)
(What should we talk about, then?)
I don't know... life in general?
No. Let's talk about your favourite music.
Music? Music....
I'm a massive fan of Ed Sheeran. I really like the way he sings and what he sings about. It's not all sex and drugs and girls, it's meaningful.
Loki, Zaf, Kas, what music do you like?
Ed Sheeran... I only know A Team by him, that's all. That song was good, I think.
Small Bump is one of my favourites... A Team is good, tho.
("Countless droughts would bring this country to his knees".
Says the ones who kept misusing the environment and destroying everything that made Australia unique..._
I listen not to music.
Eers....Katy Perry. I listen to Broadway mostly.-Zaf
Loki, don't you have music on Asgard? Surely there must be something...
Broadway? I haven't really listened to any of that. Katy Perry is great, though :)
Me... there are a lot of songs that I like, but not necessarily artists. It's more about the memories, and the feelings attached to the memories, that songs can remind me of and allow to relive. So dayI see a video of something being drawn and music plays while it is being drawn, I might like that song and every time I listen to it, I'm reminded of that drawing. But the song itself is good too.
But then there's artists who I like, because of things like voice, so memories aren't as important.
Okay, artists...
I like Elvis Presley. Pixie Lott. Adele, I think. Evanescence, but barely. Not many others I can think of, but it's late. Shoutout to t.A.T.u and *looks at his playlists* Kaiser Chiefs, Ellie Goulding, Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori and Neil Davidge and Kazuma Jinnouchi (composers), Hans Zimmer and Clint Mansell and Jack Wall (more composers!), AC/DC, Two Steps From Hell, Lorde, Coldplay and obviously, The Faunts.
Though obviously there are some songs that I like where I may not even know the artists' other songs.
Composers because of video game and film soundtracks. For example, Doomsday from Doctor Who, when Rose became separated from the Doctor. I cried. Good track.
*hugs Danni*
There is, but I often read rather then go to parties.
Phantom. *smirks* -Zaf
*One day

340, 350..
(Inaccessible, Noelle. *hugs her gently*)
I don't know most of them, Kas, but the few I do are awesome.
*hugs back*
It is really getting late for you, mister, you should sleep.
Well, Loki, it appears that I shall have to accompany you to a party. It'll be fun.
Phantom is great... :D

350, 360...
*Goes*
*gently hugs Noelle*
I'm sorry..
I do not socialize.
I love it sooo much, Rose.-Zaf
I dedicate this page to the arts. I may not be from Midgard, but music and littature are important aspects of any realm. At least try to enjoy them.
Well, how did we get together? Did we not socialise? We did. And now it's time to get you out there.
PotO is the bomb.
Hear hear, music is very important to me..
Hear hear, love.
Hello Rose and Loki. How are you both?
Yes....but I-
Zanida: I'll drag him out with you, Rose.
I am well, Audra.
I'm very tired.
Very well, Zanida. We shall party. Loki, would you dance with me if we did have a party...?
*leaves*
[hugs Noelle]
I'm so, so sorry...
I would.
Then shall we dance?
*holds her arms out to Loki, smiling softly*
*pulls her close and begins to dance*
*dances with him, grinning slightly*
I missed this... Uh, can I ask you something...? Now that the danger is over and that bastard believes I'm dead... Can we...?
If that is what you want.....then yes.
((My author is half awake, if I vanish, blame her.))
That is what I wish. It's what I have always wished for. I just want to be by your side...
(You should allow your author to sleep, love.)
(*Cuddles/hugs/high-fives/whatevers people who want to be any of the above then flops face-first into bed and sleeps*)
My parents have 3 days to pay off my ambulance bill which is pretty damn close to $2000...
3 Days.
*curls up into a really tight ball*
All my fault.
(Hello.)
Liliana: *she smiles* That you are.
Bethany: *she squeezes her hand back* Why would they do that?
Onwa: *smirks*
*gestures*
Done.
*shrugs*
Angle amongst us, it makes people pray.
Liliana: Very nice. Now how about we make this a merchant town?
Bethany: Okay...
Waitress: *she walks over with a bottle of wine and a glass for Silente, and a glass of water for Bethany* *she places down the water in front of Bethany, before opening the wine and pouring Silente a glass - placing both the glass and the bottle on the table* *she walks off*
Onwa: a merchant town?
*tilts head*
Thank you.
*takes a long sip from the wine, using it to calm herself down*
*smiles at Beth*
Liliana: Lots of shops.
Bethany: I've never tried alcohol... My mother told me it was toxic. Not just to me, in general.
Waitress: *she walks over with a basket of bread and some pesto, placing it on the table before walking off*
Onwa: Ah. Of course. Would you like to do the honours?
*smiles*
It can be, if you can't hold your liquor. It usually takes me a bottle or so of vodka to get me drunk.
Liliana: And create the buildings?
Bethany: I don't know what vodka is... Could I try just a little bit of wine?
Onwa: Yes, if you would.
Vodka is very strong alcohol which should not be drunk a bottle at a time.
Hmm okay. But sip it, don't chug it. Small sip, understood?
*offers her the glass*
Liliana: *she closes her eyes, smiling, shops and houses forming in the enclosed space* *a Cathedral rises up from the ground, containing Onwa's face in a stained glass window*
Bethany: I understand. *she takes a little sip of wine, pulling a face and handing the glass back to her, swallowing* No... I don't like that...
Onwa: *watches, the tips of her ears turning slightly red at the sight of the window*
*laughs, taking the glass*
It's an acquired taste.
*has another sip to help steady her nerves*
Liliana: *she makes the Cathedral the largest building around* You like it?
Bethany: It's nasty... The bread will have been made with yeast... *she moves her hands underneath the table, quietly forming several yeast free slices of bread* *she spreads some pesto on her bread with a knife, taking a bite* This tastes nice.
Onwa: *nods, controlling a blush*
Its rather...extravagant.
Can't you have yeast?
*takes normal bread, eating it as it is*
Liliana: It is perfect. *she brushes her lips over Onwa's neck* Just like you.
Bethany: It's living... Or at least was.
Onwa: *sighs happily*
Or like you..
Oh, yeah. Good point.
Liliana: Nope. I'm afraid not.
Bethany: Pizza bases don't have to rise, so they won't have yeast in, right? The one Claire gave me was fine...
Onwa: I'm afraid so.
Um.. I'm not sure? One sec excuse me, waitress?
Liliana: I am definitely not perfect.
Waitress: Yes?
Onwa: You definitely are.
Does the pizza base contain yeast?
Liliana: No. I am not.
Waitress: *she smiles* No. All our foods are made to yeast free, gluten free recipes.
Bethany: Even the bread?
Waitress: Yep. *she smiles, walking off*
Onwa: *takes her hand*
Are too.
*spins her, dancing with her*
Thank you.
*smiles and nods at Beth*
There you go.
Liliana: *she smiles, moving her hands to her shoulders*
Bethany: Yes... I'm relieved... What... What is that? *she points behind Silente, out of the window where a car is pulling up*
Onwa: * smiles, dancing quicker.*
Hmm?
*turns to look*
Oh, that's a car..
Liliana: *she matches her speed* Why are we dancing?
Bethany: It's hideous... And I can hear and smell it from here... Has it eaten someone? Wait... Two people? I don't have my spear...
Onwa: Because dancing is fun?
*laughs slightly*
No, no. Its fine. Its used for transportation. Granted it Does smell and is noisy but it doesn't eat people.
Liliana: I suppose it is.
Bethany: But I can see them inside it... And it's growling...
Onwa:*stops dancing*
Dont worry Beth, it's fine.
Liliana: What's the matter?
Bethany: Okay...
Waitress: *she comes over with the lasagne and Bethany's pizza, placing them on the table*
Bethany: Thank you.
