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 1601 – 1800 of 4920 Newer› Newest»Onwa: Nothing. I merely though we require people.
*smiles*
Thank you.
*delicately uses a knife and fork to chop a square of lasagne, eating it*
Liliana: I'd like to continue dancing, if that is alright?
Bethany: *she slices a piece of pizza away with her knife, eating it*
Onwa: Of course.
*smiles*
But not here.
*takes Liliana's hand, teleporting them to the shadow forest with silver trees and silver streams, where moon light Twinkles off of everything*
*smiles*
Tasty?
Liliana: *she smiles* Much better. *places her hands on her shoulders again*
Bethany: *she nods* Is yours?
Onwa: *pulls her close by the waist and starts dancing with her*
*nods*
Yep. Thanks, again, for this.
(wish time)
Liliana: *she smiles, dancing again*
Bethany: I really didn't do much...
Onwa: *spins her, moving quickly, fluidly*
You booked, you provided transport, you were you. Trust me, you did enough.
(Oh and lavender, (who I'm fairly certain reads back) the kittens are well and alive)
@Jai: That's great!!! :)
INCIDENTALLY, I managed to prove two lines were parallel.
I am so cool.
*bounces*
Maybe not here. Doing further maths/doing art/reading. :P
(It is isn't it star!)
@Jai: Yes!!! :)
(They're ADORABLE and they've opened their eyes so their eyes are like BLACK and adorable and sjwownebwiwosb)
*hugs Jaimie*
Aww... ^.^
(Hi! :3)
(*hugs Kas back* hi.)
Liliana: *matches her, pulling her close*
Bethany: Okay... I trust you... I love you.
Onwa: *grins*
You're beautiful when you dance.
*kisses her passionately*
*smiles*
I love you too.
*continues to eat*
Liliana: You are beautiful no matter what you do. *kisses her passionately back*
Bethany: I've never been this happy before... You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. *she continues to eat, also*
I wonder just how freaked out Bethany would be if Tanya burst in and bit Silente.
Hehehe >:D
Onwa: *laughs slightly, smiling*
I'd say the same back however you'd probably argue.
*blushes, smiling*
You're the best thing to happen to me, too.
(Probably very.)
Liliana: I am only beautiful when I want to be beautiful.
Bethany: I want to be with you forever.
Onwa: You must always want to be beautiful then.
*smiles brightly*
Good.
Liliana: *she shakes her head*
Bethany: *she smiles, taking Silente's hand*
Onwa: *nods, kissing her gently*
Definitely.
*squeezes her hand and smiles*
Actually there's been..something I've been meaning to ask you..
*gets down on one knee, shaking slightly, pulling the ring box from her pocket*
*opens it*
Bethany, you've made my life better in pretty much every way..and I dont know where I'd be without you..
*laughs*
Probably stuck on a leash for Liliana or Minerve..
Liliana: *she kisses her back, sighing* I... Know I am beautiful. I just do not like to say so... My mother made it clear that it was my only good quality. And part of me would like no good qualities rather than one which does not matter to me.
Bethany: *her arms go goosepimply* You're...
Onwa: You have plenty of good qualities Liliana.
*blushes, clearing her throat*
I love you with all I am, and would happily give myself to save you if I had to..
*smiles nervously*
I want to be with you forever, so, well, w-will..
*swallows*
*takes a deep breath, voice barely a whisper*
Will you marry me Beth..?
Liliana: *she shakes her head* I really do not.
Bethany: *she hugs herself a little before getting on her knees in front of Silente, hugging her tightly, shaking a little thanks to nerves, tears in her eyes* Yes... I will... Of course I will... I love you. *her hair starts to shine a bright white colour, illuminating the restaurant*
Onwa: Listen to me, forget about your mother. She's poisoned your thoughts out of jealousy for what you are, what you have. You have plenty of good qualities.
*hugs her tightly back, laughing slightly*
*pulls back a moment, taking Beth's hand, pushing the ring onto her finger before hugging her again*
I love you Beth. So much..
Liliana: *she sighs, holding Onwa close*
Bethany: *she smiles at the ring, the glow from her hair intensifying as she hugs her back again, crying into her shoulder*
Waitress: Is everything alright with your-
... Why is your hair shining?
Onwa: *kisses her neck*
Your mother is wrong, Liliana.
*rubs her back gently*
*grins at the waitress*
Don't worry, optical illusion. It's..a magicians trick. It happens sometimes.
*grins more*
(Good thing they don't live in America.)
(Yep. Good thing they don't live in America.)
Liliana: You do not understand. *she holds Onwa close*
Bethany: *she cuddles against Silente, continuing to cry* This is the best day of my life...
Waitress: Did you just propose?
(Some parts of America.
Just had to embark upon a quick google search there. :P)
Onwa: Then explain it to me..? Please..
*smiles, nodding at the waitress*
Yes, I did.
*gently runs her hands over Beth's hair*
(Actually, good thing they don't live in Russia.
:)
I'm glad they don't live in Russia.)
(I presume some parts of America have a somewhat negative perception of homosexuals?)
(Oh god. Yeah good thing they aren't Russian.
@Soph some parts of America are against homosexual marriage.)
Liliana: I have been brought up to conform and agree with certain opinions.
Waitress: Aww... That's so sweet. *she smiles, going to take a drink to another customer in a different part of the restaurant*
Bethany: ... You planned with Claire, didn't you?
Onwa: And what opinions would these be?
*laughs*
Maybe a little. I wanted to know she was okay with it first..then ask her to educate you a bit on proposals and marriages..
(There are several things which make me think that this world is disgusting. People should learn to let go of such medieval opinions and actually have some common sense. They are still people, and have the right to marriage like anyone else. And anyone who thinks differently should have THEIR right to marriage taken away - it is only fair. If they think people should not be able to marry because of who they are, they should not be able to marry for who they are. There is no difference.)
Liliana: *she shakes her head* It is fine.
Bethany: *she smiles, still sobbing* Thank you...
(And whilst we're at it, take away their right to reproduce also. The world would be better off without people brought up with such opinions.)
(*nods* Agreed, Soph.)
Onwa: Please tell me?
*smiles*
You're welcome Beth.
*whispers*
Your pizza's going cold.
Liliana: It is hard to describe.
Bethany: *she laughs a little, sniffling* I really don't care...
Onwa: *nods*
Okay..
*laughs, grinning*
Okay..
Liliana: I will tell you later, yes?
Bethany: I love you so much...
(*sighs*
Great. Just great.)
*goes to hug Sophia, stopping at the last second, and hugs some dynamite instead*
*blows up*
*flesh and blood everywhere*
*and a particularly well-scratched arm*
Onwa: Okay. In your own time.
*smiles, swaying gently with her*
I love you too Beth..you're amazing, and I'm so happy you said yes..
*smiles, holding her close*
(*pieces Kas back together*)
(*she tilts her head a little at Tia*)
Liliana: *she places her head head on Onwa's shoulder, swaying also*
Bethany: I wouldn't have said anything but... You could have just said one day, "Hey, Beth, we're getting married" and that would have worked, too.
(Completely agree, Sophia.
It's sickening. :/)
(*melts*)
(It is absolutely vile, Star.)
Onwa: *smiles, holding her close*
*rolls eyes*
But that wouldn't have been dramatic enough.
(Those people - I can be sure of the fact they do not deserve to die, but I am not entirely sure of whether they deserve to live.)
Liliana: I would like to build something of my own, if I may. Yes, we need another palace here, but I would like to create an organisation.
Bethany: I suppose... *she smiles, kissing Silente passionately*
Onwa: of course. Whatever you want.
*smiles*
*kisses her passionately back, grinning*
*breaks off the kiss*
Perhaps...we should go home and celebrate? Then tell your mother..
Liliana: Good. I would rather like to have a group of assassins at my disposal.
Bethany: *she nods* We could take the food home?
Ya know, right as I was reading the comment about the kittens, I was going to fast forward to the most recent comment. *makes a face*
But good thing I didn't. Yay!
*hugs Sil with a smile*
(@Soph you know what else is absolutely vile? Me!
:3)
(*hugs lavender back*)
Onwa: *smiles*
Assassins? So long as you dont use them to dispose of me.
*smiles*
Sure.
*gets up, offering Beth a hand up*
(Sowwy, double post.)
Liliana: No, I would never do that.
Bethany: *she smiles, taking Silente's hand, standing up also* *she admires her ring, smiling*
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: Good.
*kisses her gently*
*grins*
You like it?
*looks at the waitress*
Could we have the bill please? And the food packed to go?
(Yes cute kittens! *hugs Jaimie and Hopeymoth*)
You not vile, Kas.
*huggles*
I'm considering making an only speaking recording. I just have no idea what to talk about. XP
(*hugs Kassy back*
Bbs. Gotta get dressed for dads :)
Oops, sorry! Late comment. x)
Just saying, I'll be distant.
(@Hopeymoth make a YouTube video? *nods*
*hugs as well*)
Okay, Soph and Sil! See ya soon!
I would, but I don't want to show my face.
*hides it behind her hands, peeks, quickly moves them away to stick her tongue teasingly out at Kas then hides again, smiling*
See you later, Jai! :)
*tickles Hopeymoth* :3
*laughs, playfully batting his hands away*
Eek! Don't!
Don't what, Hopeymoth?
*keeps tickling her playfully*
*speaks while laughing, trying to squirm away*
Don't tickle! I'm too ticklish! XD
*smiles, stopping the tickling and pulling her into a hug*
*is surprised for a moment, but hugs back with a breathless chuckle*
Thanks. :)
So how is your day going?
*leans in to whisper in Hopeymoth's ear*
I'm booooooooooored.
*leans back a bit as his breath tickles her ear*
*rubs it, half smiling*
So what do ya wanna do? Also I've noticed you're not in (). What does that mean?
I'm not in a rp now, so I don't want to needlessly use brackets.
Whatcha doing? :3
Trying to memorize the lyrics to three different Annie songs while also trying to sing(doing this is warming up my voice and hopefully making it stronger after I recover from my cold all the way) them and looking up stuff about jounalism as research for a fan made story I'm writing.
This is sort of why I'm half distant, but while I check those things, I still try to be here half consistently. :P
(Okay. Back. At dads now. Reeeeeelaxing.)
*pops back in and pulls Jaimie and Hopeymoth into a hug*
XD you guys! :3
(*hugs Kassy back*
Yo )
Sup, Jai?
(Da roof. How are you?)
Sorry! Snacks made me poof! XP
Eating mochi to celebrate the Chinese New Year! :D
(I'd... rather not talk about it. How are you?)
(Yay for Chinese New Year!
...even though you're in Japan. What is a mochi?)
Mochi is made out of over cooked(is that the word for it? Whatever makes it soft)rice or flour and rolled into a ball. It's stick and chewy and really sweet!
My family celebrated both New Years. :)
*sticky
But the ones I had were also on sticks!
Lollypop rice lol :3
*huggles* :3
(Im okay..)
Didn't think of it like that, but it's more like a rice kebob. :) There usually are more than one on a stick.
*hugs them both and wishes they could try real dango*
*realizes that's what it was called and that it's also just slightly different to normal mochi*
Oops. Hee, me being American born. :P
*adds to that*
And not knowing the difference.
*hugs Jaimie*
You sure?
(*plays with Hopeymoth's hair*)
*smiles at Kassyworm*
Just mentioning again that I'll be pretty distant.
Unless I start responding a lot, which is possible. :P
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :D
I think it's the year of the goat this time.
I was born in the year of the rat, but my grandma used to call me the japanese word for mouse. :3
(Happy Chinese New Year, Hopeymoth!)
(Same here... I think? Wait.
*is confused*)
What year and month were you born in, Kas?
Lots of European/westerners confuse the Chinese New Year with only being the year they were born in, but for those born in January and early February would be born in the year before the solar calendar one.
"They are expressive and can be talkative sometimes. They like to go to parties and usually spend quite some time chatting with their friends. Although the Rat can be quiet sometime, it is rare to catch a Rat sitting quietly."
Me, a fire rat. That last sentence was me when I was younger. :P I'm still really chatty, but with no one to talk to, you'll see me sitting quietly when I'm either working on something(like a puzzle, where I need to think a lot) or reading. :P
Rat people usually have more acquaintances than real friends and they revere and cherish those close to them. Once you become their real friend, they will treat you as their family.
Yup, another really true thing about me. :)
Except you all are my real friends, so I'll always think of you guys as family.
Sorry, just a warning: I may spam more about the Rat(and possibly anyone else's if they tell me theirs).
The Rat is quick-witted. Most rats get more accomplished in 24 hours than the rest of us do in as many days.
*snorts*
Well then, I'm not like most rats. I'm ridiculously slow at everything except talking! XP
Okay, I admit, depends on what I want to do. Like something I actually enjoy and can do easily. Writing is an example.
Nothing else sounds like me... Except the very last sentence.
They are very loyal and devoting to their families.
After reading my sign and the element that went with it, either I'm defying my own 'path' or I'm just different. I disagree with a lot that both talk about. I'm not that- ... Much- of what they say.
Hmmf.
Sorry that was a double comment.
I'll be heading off to sleep guys!
*hugs*
Night!
Sheep well Lav!!
A quick comment about above
"I'm glad they're not in America"
Depends. Actually, the state I'm in is fine with it, our mayor (or governor?) Is openly gay. Though then there's the other states where there is no acceptance -_-
Anyways, hello!!!
(Hey amigo. *yawns and stretches* damn, gotta stop with these late night early mornings.)
Hey!
Yeah, damn sheep :/
Hello
(*looks for her first ever comment*
*finds one, May 6 2013*
Hmm..)
(OMG YES THATS IT I FINALLY FOUND MY FIRST EVER COMMENT MAY 6TH 2013 4:17pm!!!
*cries from happiness having finally discovered her blogaversary*
*pauses*
*frowns*
Huh..it's been nearly two years..)
Hello Silente, how are you?
(Hey Dreams!!! Sorry, was searching xD praise Google! I'm okay, you?)
(AND DEREK REPLIED TO ME THAT DAY!!!)
Ooh, could you give me the link?
I'm fine, thanks.
Would you like to role play? AudraTC is new to Blogland and Sil never welcomed her (or me!)
(Le link. I was called Killer Kitty at that point.)
(I never welcomed you? *tilts head* are you sure?)
You never welcomed me. I suppose it's a good thing because then I had no idea how role play worked. XD
(HOW VERY DARE I!!! *slaps self* BAD GIRL!!!
*grins*
Not many people ASK to be welcomed..)
(Well it'd be Audra the character. I think it's too late to welcome me as an author)
@Dugglyn: I later corrected my sentence to 'some parts of America'. :P
@Sophia: Oh, I'd say they deserved to live. It's not necessarily their fault they think the way they do. I can forgive their behaviour; I just can't accept it.
(Hey Star!
Okay Dreams. Not sure why you'd ASK to be welcomed but sure :D)
()
*watches the new girl from her hiding place, grinning gleefully*
(Hello Star)
*Audra wanders around Blogland, looking for a restaurant or grocery store of some kind*
*she is very hungry now, it's been about a day since she's eaten last, but she can't fine any food*
()
*moves as a blur, flashing across the girls path to the shadows at the other side*
(Because I'm bored. And it could be interesting, I think Audra is mortal. Or at least she doesn't know about magic yet)
(Okay. That should be interesting..)
*she stops, blinking, then peers into the shadows*
*she frowns then continues walking*
(I found my first comment but I forget when it was...
*can't be bothered trying to find it, but It was in 2011, I think October.)
()
*runs past behind her as a blur, tugging her hair quickly before letting go, giggling, darting back to the shadows*
(Hello Ariadne)
(*hugs Gem Gem* hey. You're oooooold.)
*she jumps back in surprise, letting out a small scream*
*when she hears the giggle she glares in the direction it came from*
What do you want?
(Oh shoot, I got to go. Can we continue later?)
()
*grins*
*zips a bit further away, using the cover of the shadows*
*steps out, smiling her cutest, most innocent twelve year olds smile*
Are you okay miss..?
(Sure, if I'm here!)
(FOOD BBS)
(Hey Jai, ok.
Hi/Bye Audra)
(*Decides to try and find her first comment again when Jaimie is gone*)
(Okay. Back :)
There's something above me that sounds like a stapler and a shrubbery locked in mortal combat.
...
It's disconcerting.
...
It's also probably a bird.
(A stapler...
And a shrubbery?
..)
(Gwerfyl... is such a bizzare name..)
(Hello.)
Liliana: *she kisses her back* Indeed.
Bethany: I love it... It's so pretty...
Waitress: Of course. *she takes the plates* I'll give you to them in boxes when I come back with the bill.
(My dad's name is Dafydd . . . ptonounced Davviff.)
(Storm it. :P)
(*cuddles Soph* Thank GOD it's another person!!!)
Onwa: *smiles*
*smiles and nods at the waitress*
Thank you.
*watches Beth, grinning*
(Your dad's name...
Is dad..
with someone mashing the keyboard part way through.)
(Also, HEY STAR!!)
(*cuddles Jaimie back* Were you getting lonely? *she smiles*)
Liliana: *she forms a small building in the middle of the city for her assassins* Now for the humans?
Bethany: What? *she smiles, her hair continuing to shine*
(Yes, I was! Everyone was gone! I was lonely. *sulks*)
Onwa: *nods*
*closes her eyes, people flickering into existence, the same moon light as before creating them all*
*smiles back*
I like watching you being so happy.
I think the stapler won.
(*tilts head at Fabi*
Um.. how did you reach this conclusion?)
(You are not lonely anymore.)
Liliana: And now I shall create my assassins also. *she forms some people inside the building she created for them*
Bethany: You're making me this happy. *she wipes the tears from her face* Thank you...
Because the moving-shrubbery-like noises stopped.
And then there was a burst of victorious dubstep music.
And then I was confused, because I didn't see anyone with a music playing device.
And then the music stopped.
And then there was a stapler noise.
(*cuddles tightly*
Good..)
Onwa: *smiles*
There. Our merchant town by the falls.
*smiles, taking her hand*
You're welcome. Celebrate first or tell your mother?
(Um..Okay.)
...
I'm not even making that up.
There was actually an unexplained burst of dubstep, and I'm not the only one who heard it.
...
I'm not insane. Really.
(*smiles and hugs Fabi*
I believe you.)
@Jai: Yup. :P
@Moss: O_O
That sounds peculiar. O_O
Liliana: Indeed. We should probably name our cities. Will be easier.
Bethany: Celebrate. *she nods* Definitely celebrate.
Onwa: Hmm.. Okay.
*grins*
And how shall we celebrate, dear fiancée?
Liliana: What would you like to call them?
Bethany: That's up to you. *she smiles*
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: Fallden, perhaps, for here? And Caslildom?
*shrugs*
I'm not good with names..
*smiles broadly*
Hmm..
(Karbranth.
Hearthstone.
Vedenar.
Kholinar.
Apparently the guy who did the mqps for the Stormlight Archive made up the nqmes of a lot of the minor cities, because Brandon Sanderson was just like "um, there's a load of cities over there" do the artist was like "Okay" and just made them up. :P
The Stormlight Archive has a LOT of internal artwork. Well, maybe not a lot, but a lot for a chapter book. We have a lot of Shallan's sketchbook pages, showing skyeels and shalebark and the like. We have designs of fabrials. We have Shardplate stances and the Alethi Codes of War. And we have a few maps, showing us what Sadeas' warcamp looks like, showing us what the Shattered Plains looks like, showing us which parts of Alethkar are owned by whom. And there's a painting in there of the Shattered Plains, done by an artist who visisted once and painted a 'perhaps idealised' version of them . . . and if you look carefully, you can see the artist stuck a random river in there and named it after themself. XD
(*sits in the corner*
*sighs sadly and hugs her knees*)
*hugs Aria* You okay?
(*cuddles gem gem* you okay sis..?)
(Just tried on my prom dress again to show Keiron...
Shame it'll never see the light of day...
It's so beautiful...
*feels like crying so fucking much*)
(*hugs gemma tightly* oh gemmy..I'm sure..one day?)
(One day? it won't fit me then...
*sighs* My friends and I are still planning to have a requiem ball.
But we're planning to have it in December so:
My 18th Birthday
Christmas dance
Requiem ball
Prom
Masquerade ball
All tied into one.
Doubt it will happen though...I would need to rent a hall and I have no money and I don't think I will have enough money. I don't even have a job.)
(*High-fives, hugs, and cuddles people then skedaddles off to play more WoW as it has entirely consumed his life*)
(*hugs tightly* I wish I could help..)
(Oh my Lord I spouted so much random cr*p to star in February.)
(I wish you could come, Jai...
If only you were our age...)
(*half smiles*
Yeah..if only.
Wait why do I have to be eighteen?
Also sorry for distance, trying to find the first fight..)
(Well you don't, but I doubt you would be allowed up here if you weren't older.
It's fine.)
(...
I might be...
December..
I'd be sixteen...
Sixteen is good...
Sixteen is moving out age...
It's making meh cry!)
@Silente: Did you?
Are you sure it wasn't the other way around? I seem to be good at spouting random crap.
Being someone who desires to miss out on their first prom, I can't really empathise; only sympathise.
I can also point out that seeing the light of day once is better than never at all. :)
(I like being sixteen. I get to spout random crap and do further maths.)
(Yes. Yes I did star..
I have no reason to be professional. I only have my sisters. No one to boss me around... No one to impress. I can be myself. I choose to be immature because we won't live forever. I want to stay young for as long as I can. Maybe during a battle of importance I will grow a bit more serious or if someone hurts my sisters or friends.
~Chi)
(Yes Mithria, Silente thought it was a good idea to hit me with a snowball, I beat her up, she somehow lost her clothes, got beat up, ran away, got dragona to help beat ME up then Dragona shot HER. Not a very good plan *nods*
O_o
Our fights were so weird..
'Little Vampire'
<3)
That's cool, Jai. :) I am in favour of random crap. Well, I better be, coz I'm 90% random crap. :P
(I am back.)
Liliana: *she nods* How about Castildom?
Bethany: *she smiles, too*
Waitress: *she comes over with the bill and two boxes, along with a machine should Silente want to pay with a credit or debit card* It comes to twenty five pounds and one penny.
(Aww you don't just say/do random cr*p star!!!)
Onwa: *nods* okay.
*hands over a fifty pound note*
Twenty five pounds one pence with twenty four pound ninety tip.
*smiles, taking the boxes*
(Okay, shouldn't be distant now :)
Liliana: Castildom sounds a little better?
Waitress: Oh... I... Thank you.
Bethany: *she takes one of the boxes from Silente, her hair continuing to shine*
(*growls at her WiFi*)
Onwa: *nods*
Indeed.
*smiles*
You're welcome. Thank you for the meal.
*walks out with Beth*
Liliana: So Fallden and Castildom. *she nods and smiles*
Bethany: *she squeezes Silente's hand* Should we go back home?
Onwa: *smiles back*
Your realm and kingdoms..
*squeezes her hand back*
Hmm..maybe not..Claire's asleep there.. Oh! I know where.
*grins*
Liliana: Our realm and kingdoms.
Bethany: Where?
