Tom Percival Back Cover Madness!
You lucky, lucky people...
I am, of course, referring to those Minions who talk with those funny accents. A full 36 days before the rest of us, Kingdom of the Wicked is now available in Australia and New Zealand.
The normal rules apply. No Spoilers. None. None whatsoever. There's not even going to be spoiler zone Blog post for you to discuss it in secret- not until it's available in Ireland and the UK. You're just going to have to keep it to yourself and off the internet for 36 days. That is your punishment for getting it early...
And you have it SO early that not even I have a copy. How is THAT fair?
In other news...
A new school-type event is now listed in the Sydney section of the tour schedule below. If you want to get involved... er... I dunno what you have to do... Get your school to register, or something?

Onwa: *laughs, tickling her slightly*
I'll help.
*picks up two of the bowls*
(*keeps cuddling her back, smiling*)
Liliana: *she laughs, struggling a little*
Bethany: *she takes the last bowl and the plate, moving to the table and placing them down* *she starts to go back to the kitchen to get some knives and forks when she trips over a chair leg and falls on to her side* Ow... Sorry.
Claire: You really are clumsy, aren't you? I didn't really believe you...
Bethany: Yes, I'm clumsy.
(*smiles* Love you Soph..)
Onwa: *grins, straddling her, tickling faster*
*places the bowls down and helps Beth up*
(I love you too, Jaimie.)
Liliana: *she laughs and struggles more* I'll... Hurt... You.
Bethany: *she winces a little as she stands*
Phaestra: Are you alright, Bethany?
Bethany: *she nods* My wing and my knee hurts, but yes.
Onwa: *grins, tickling faster*
*purrs out*
Go ahead.
*gently hugs Bethany, healing her*
Better?
Liliana: *she laughs more, whipping her with her leash*
Bethany: *she hugs her back and nods* Thank you.
Phaestra: *she sits down at the table* I have never had this food before.
Claire: *she sits next to Phaestra* It's nice. Really nice. But we've got soya meat so you can eat it.
Phaestra: Soya meat?
Bethany: It's something to do with soya beans, mother.
(I have to go now. Goodbye.)
Onwa: *laughs, gasping slightly, wincing*
*gets the knives and forks, handing them out where needed*
*sits next to Claire so Beth can sit next to her mother*
(Bye then Soph!)
*laughs*
What happens when I get on a computer. I stay on it the rest of the day. XP
*is now on her iPod though*
*may or may not be here*
If anyone is following my Tumblr, I'll be adding a new Pixel Person thing soon...
*doesn't have Tumblr*
*should probably get an account*
Seems like everyone has one...
*has to go*
Be back later.
*poofs*
*was making Prince Charming for Accidental Cinderella*
*whoops*
*sorry Lav*

(Hello.)
*was just about to go to sleep because it's close to midnight*
*waddles in and curls up against Kas*
(*hugs Danni*
How was your day? :)
It was bad... I'm going to get my art teacher fired... She just about screamed at me for not having enough of a plan.
Did Leonardo da Vinci plan ad replan his Mona Lisa over and over again? Did he even plan it?
No.
*curls up tighter*
She hates me...
(*cuddles*
Mean reacher.)

*hops into a new dimension*
*looks around at the trees*
*these seem similar to her memories of Blogland...*
*she would've appeared near Tanya, if she was still alive, so Tia proceeded to wander around, looking for her, shouting "Tanya?"*
And then she spotted a woman, definitely her sister, looking shocked.
As Tia ran for her, Tanya's expression changed to a smile, and then they were both running for each other, smiling.
But as they embraced each other, it was clear something was wrong.
Tia: You're purple!
Tanya: You're not purple!
Tia: Wrong dimension?
Tanya: Probably!
Tia: I hope you find your Tia!
Tanya: I hope you find your Tanya!
And following that comforting hug, Tia turned around into a portal she created, and stepped into another dimension, continuing her search for Tanya Halcyon.
*is back again while doing something last minute of her computer*
It's okay, Danni.
*hugs*
Hope everything works out for you.
*has tried checking the link, she needs an account first*
*sighs and adds making one to her 'things to do while still on her computer' list*
@Kas: That's- You sent yourself an email?
(@Hope didn't want to lose that text by accident. And hello. *hugs warmly*)
Hmm...
Should my username be lavenderhopestuff, itslavenderhope, lavenderhopeblog, or captainlavenderhope?
(That last one though. XD)
I'm thinking to go with blog, but I dunno.
Ah. Okay. :)
Hi!
*hugs back*
Okay, I'm going to choose itslavenderhope instead.
(LavvyHopeStuff)
Oops, sorry. Already did made it, but I'll keep that one in mind. It said I could change my username later so no worries. :)
I'm pretty sure I found Danni. I'm going to follow her, so I hope I'm right.
(Okay! I'll make an account in a few minutes. Any ideas? Sassy Kassy? Who ate the dinosaurs?)
*checks the link again*
Oh good. I WAS right.
SassyKassy sounds good. :) hope it'll be available though.
I am so confused like now that I got an account, what do I do? XD
(Oh, dear. Tumblr. :/
I remember visiting that website once. I got to the registration page, and the background picture was men in pink dresses and skirts playing football.
Never again.)
(But hey, I'll do it for Danni and you. *nods*)
*laughs*
I'm not even going to bother doing any changes to my blog thingy until I get the hang of using it. XD
Huh, by registration page, you mean that picture that's behind the fill in form?
I got a pizza shaped like a heart. :P
(Yep. About to register! :)
On an unrelated note, some companies' customer support is terrible.)
I'm heading off now. Will be back soon though. Just gotta get ready for bed.
(Good night, Hope! *hugs tightly*)
*is back*
Nice, Kas!
I don't really do customer support... If I have a problem, I'll either try to fix it myself or not do anything. I'm such a bad customer, but I just don't really like talking to them! I have no idea why! XP
*coughs*
Oops.
Sorry, I'm still here. Not going to sleep just yet. :P
(Gah, I thought you left! *hugs Hope extra tightly*
Sassy Kassy is taken...)
(Hello.)
Liliana: *she continues to whip her*
Bethany: *she sits between Silente and Phaestra* Right... *she takes a wrap, placing it on her plate*
(Hello, Sophia. How are you doing today?)
Aww... :( Is there a suggestion you could go with?
Hello, Soph.
Sorry, I'm a bit distant. ^.^'
(Hello, Tia. I am just as I always am today. Yourself?
Hello, Lavender.)
By my ACT, I ought to be able to get into McGill.. And Brown. And most likely Yale, because I'm just feeling confident about Uni today.
:/
But like
Scary things..
*hugs Noelle*
That's awesome! I wish you good luck and hope you get accepted to any of them!
(Looking for ideas, Hope.
I'm okay, I guess.
I hope you get accepted into a good uni, Noelle!)
Onwa: *laughs, catching the collar in her hand, tickling with her free hand*
*gets a wrap, putting lettuce then cucumber, followed by peppers and the soya chicken*
*tops it with sauce and rolls it up*
(*cuddles Jaimie* Hey! :3)
(*cuddles Kas* Hey! How are you?)
I wonder what Adra and Alastair would be like if they lived in medieval times..
(I'm... mmm.... hmm.... concerned? But otherwise okay.
How are you?)
(Adra and Alastair in medieval times..I reckon they'd fit in quite well..Alastair would anyway, don't know much about Adra..
Why concerned?)
(Concerned for a friend.
How are you, Jai?)
(Okay..
I'm not so bad. On the bus again.)
Because in the AU, Alastair is the school bully.. Hm
*thinks*
(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*)
Liliana: *she laughs more, before her hand glows purple, chains wrapping around Onwa's wrists, forcing them behind her back*
Bethany: Yes... You just do what Silente did. *she does likewise*
Phaestra: I see.
Sorry, I keep poofing because distantness! D:
Hi Sil! I should probably be sleeping now. Night guys!
*hugs, then slides to the ground, asleep*
(*cuddles Soph tightly back, smiling* Hey Sophi!)
Onwa: *grins, still holding her own leash*
It seems the tables have turned..
*nods, taking a small, polite bite of her wrap*
*chews*
(*hugs Lav back then let's her sleep*)
(Good night, Hope!
I better leave as well... *takes his useless self elsewhere*)
((Happy Friday and weekend, Blogland!))
I know...
Hm. Adra would likely be some type of royalty.
I don't know about Alastair... That's what I'm interested in.,
Liliana: Indeed. *she moves her hand up, Onwa's hands being forced above her head* *she tickles her underneath her arms*
Bethany: Are they... Okay?
Phaestra: *she constructs her wrap, taking her knife and fork, slicing away part of the wrap before eating it*
Claire: *she takes her wrap, shovelling chicken, lettuce and sauce on to it before rolling it up*
(Hello)
(*returns briefly because Gemma*
Hey, Gem...)
(*wonders if anyone noticed it's Friday the 13th*)
Onwa: *laughs, wriggling*
*nods*
They're brilliant Beth.
*squeezes her leg under the table*
(Hey Gem!)
(I have Tia, I noticed like last week. The day before valentines day.
I had a shit day so yeah, I was pretty unlucky.)
(*Hugs Jai and Kassy as tightly as she can*
I love you both so much
*Nuzzles them both* ^.^
Kassy, i'll just type up that list for you :)
HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
IT'S GONNA BE GREAT!!!!
(Mmm... *hugs Gem warmly*
I hope the rest of your day will be better.)
(I love you too, Gem.
Hey, Duggy.
I really have to go soon, sorry.)
I did live in what you would call the Middle Ages for something over a century.
No one I've met so far has ever pointed out that the first plague I created began and, for the most part, had almost ended before I was born.
Of course, growing up around that period would be different from living in it after I had already left my guardians.
I WANT ONE OF THESE FOR A PET!!! >>>>>>>
I'd name it
Fluffy.
*nodsnodsnodsnods*
(*cuddles gem tightly back*
I'm so annoy/half upset right now!
My friend got 2 Valentine's cards!
My others got at least one!
And I'm just here like
'... *sad face head hung try not to cry*'
And it REALLY DOESN'T HELP that I'd HAD Valentine's day plans with a Valentine's and then they went a little Jaimie-shaped.)
Ah shucks.
Let's try again.
I want one of these!!!! >>>>
Liliana: *tickles her more, smiling*
Bethany: *she smiles* Thank you... *moves her leg on to Silente's knee* *she starts to eat her wrap with her hands*
Claire: *she starts to eat, also* These are so nice.
Bethany: Thank you...
Phaestra: *she cuts another slice, eating it*
Onwa: *laughs more, falling onto her back, wriggling and squirming*
Mercy!
*smiles, shifting closer to her*
*has another bite*
I meant medieval..
Middle English times, I guess. With feudalism and stuff. Kingdoms, around 1100.
(*hugs Jaimie*
...)
(*hugs Kas*)
Liliana: I'm afraid not. *tickles her more*
Bethany: *moves her other leg on to Silente's knee, also*
Phaestra: Are these wraps designed to be eaten with your hands or with a knife and fork?
Onwa: *laughs more, squirming, trying to roll away*
*smiles, leaning slightly against Beth*
Um.. you can use a knife and fork but most people use their hands?
(*disappears again because dad :/)
(*gets distracted staring at Adam's picture*
Why does that remind me of knuckles and Tales..?)
*supermegahuggletacklesofdoomvils Adam*
HI!!! WOULDN'T THIS BE THE BEST PET?! >>>>>
Liliana: *she continues to tickle her relentlessly*
Phaestra: I see. *she carefully picks up the wrap, taking a bite* I am enjoying having dinner with you both.
Claire: There are three of us.
Phaestra: With you all, then.
Onwa: *squeals slightly, still laughing, starting to gasp for her breaths*
*smiles*
Thank you, we try our best to be hospitable.
(Ahhh. Its 4 people, not two.)
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
*laughs at squished Adam*
I KNOW RIGHT!!!
(*sneaks up*
*SQUASHES DUG*)
OH NO! I'VE BEEN SQUASHIFIED!!!!
(Mwahahahaha!
*squishes and squashes her*)
NOOOOOO!!!
*is now a dugdle*
(I dedicate this page to Jaimie.)
Liliana: *she continues to tickle, smiling*
Phaestra: And hospitable you are. However, I am somewhat confused about why Bethany has her legs on your knee.
Bethany: *she moves her legs down* Sorry, mother.
(*reduggifies dugglyn*)
(*glares at the ded*)
Onwa: *gasps, laughing, eyes glowing slightly*
M-mercy! *laughs* Ple-ease!
*blushes, shifting slightly away from Beth, looking at her food only*
(6 year old me was more of a player than this year old me..)
(food. Bbs.)
*hugs Adam*
*hugs Sil*
I'm sorry, but it's ok. You don't need someone else, you're awesome by yourself!!
Hear hear!!!!
My stuffed animal, despite being the only one, is really cute.. Little bulldog.
Adam: (*realises this will be the 17th time he's been alone on valentines day*
*sighs*)
Me: *realises I'm alone on Valentine's Day* *is really relieved I don't have to actually stress out and buy presents for people* *doesn't know what I'd do if I actually, like, had a Valentine*
XD
Differences in reactions. XD
@Noelle: :) :)
@Noelle: :) :) :)
(I do not know why so many people are sad on Valentine's day. It makes no sense. It does not differ from any other day.)
Liliana: Nope. *she continues to tickle her*
Bethany: What's the matter?
Finished with Tarzan and onto Stitch... Hm.
*Closes eyes*
*Wraps herself up with Bean, the bulldog*
*Goes off to her bathroom*
(Back!
@Soph because we've it's a day which revolves around love, with couples rubbing in how happy they are and how alone you are. *nods*)
Onwa: *laughs, rolls, and falls off the bed, dragging half of the covers with her*
*blinks, grinning*
Nothing. Just feel slightly awkward around your mother. Mothers hardly like me, yours included.
(@Noelle I have a Dalmatian toy... very warm.
Hi/bye/ghosting.)
(... I was thinking I look like an echo there.
And now I'm thinking echo is an odd word, like I keep trying to type an E on the end.
Which would be apt because then the end would kind of echo the beginning?)
(*Stares at Adam then turns away*
I FUCKING TYPED OUT THAT WHOLE LIST OF ALL THE FUCKING GREEK GODS AND GODDESSES AND JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO SEND IT MY LAPTOP CUT OUT BEFORE I SENT IT!
TRYING SO HARD NOT TO FUCKING CRY OR PUNCH A WALL.
I FUCKING HATE FRIDAY THE 13TH BECAUSE IT IS A FUCKING UNLUCKY DAY FOR ME!
The only good part was that there was actually fish left over and I ate lunch for once...
And I got a few extra marks on my biology prelim but...
*EXPLODES AND HER BLOOD RAINS OVER EVERYONE*
*HAPPY FUCKING FRIDAY THE 13TH*
@Adam: Ah, I see. :)
I don't know it to miss, it, so . . .
@Sophia: Because they're reminded of their loneliness. Most of the time they can go through life without thinking about it much.
(Oh yay Valentine's... *sighs*)
@Taia: O_O Storms, yes.
@Aria: :( :( *hugs* It's okay. The day is almost over, and then when you wake up tomorrow you know you'll be abel to go months without seeing Friday the Thirteenth again. :)
(*stares at the blood and whatnot raining down*
*collects it all up then pieces it together again*
*hugs gemma tightly*)
. . .
Am I really the only one who's glad they're alone on Valantine's day due to the lack of stress . . . ?
Oh.
:P
(Yes, yes you probably are Hol. People don't like being alone, human nature dictates us to be pack animals who search for mates..)
(*Slowly comes back and re-forms*
*Cuddles into Star and sobs on her shoulder*
I think i'll actually enjoy my valentines day.
Last year I was going out with a boy called Malik from America and I bought him a card...I posted it and everything but I forgot to put a stamp on it >.<
I think the year before that I had George but I can't remember what we did for it.)
300- another landmark
:/ lilo exemplifies me..
(Noelle stop it...just hearing you talking about it makes me want to do it too..
*Tries to resist the urge to go and collect her scissors*)
Storms, Star? ^^
And- um, idk? I'm kind of indifferent towards st Valentine's day?
But I mean, lots of birthdays around/on Valentine's which I forget about and end up not doing anything for, so, it's not much difference anyway?
But I see where you're coming from because gifts and responsibilities are difficult and yes. It would add to that.
There's a thing to be glad about? :)
(*hugs Gemma, pinning her arms to her sides so she can't*)
(*hugs Gemma*
Noelle... please, be safe. No dying, okay?)
@Silente: Oh. :P
Oh, I see. XD
*hugs Noelle :/*
:/
And, remember, you can always email me; I don't mind you talking about cutting. If talking helps you, I'd prefer you to talk about it.
(Hey, Taia!)
(Gem... :/)
(*Glares at Jaimie*)
@Taia: I have having to get people gifts, so. :P
And, yeah. I'm trying to Stormlight Archive-ify all my swearing . . . :P
(*ignores the glare, just keeps hugging Gemma*)
*hate
(Love how Adam left when I commented.
I'll just go so Adam can come on. Everyone seems to prefer him anyway.
Except maybe Jai and Kas
*Hugs them both tightly and disappears*)
(*hugs Gemma tightly back*
=( )
(*Comes back in*
I may be over-reacting, he might be doing homework or talking to his parents, or I might be right and he doesn't want to talk because it would be awkward if I were here. John doesn't seem to care that he's getting all lovey dovey with rose when I'm on.
*Disappears again*)
*Takes a step back*
*And another*
I'm sorry- I'll go...
*Runs off*
*hugs Noelle*
I'm sorry.
*hugs all* :/
@Star: Ohh, I see XD Awesome
And--- *nods* *agrees*
:/
@Malygos: Yeah . . . somehow, I don't think telling her that is going to help. -_- It's probably just going to make her more upset - and therefore need to do it more. That's the thing with compulsions based on negative emotions . . .
(*hugs Star*
*hugs everyone*
*feels useless because people are doing... things and he can't help*
*just hugs*)
*nods at Adam* Ice is a good idea. :/
(I typoed 'good' for 'cool' then (something I often do). Ice is a cool idea. Heh. :P)
@Kas: Don't worry; I frequently feel useless in these situations. :/
*hugs Tia* I get you. :/
Hey, hey Taia-former-GCSE-art-student, if you're still here. What topic did you pick for your exam? You don't have to answer - I'm just interested. :)
@Star: Uh. Trying to remember. :P
My teacher limited our choice rather because she didn't like some of given selection?
I think I ended up doing 'Gardens', but I seem to remember it could have fit in more than one topic, so... basically, it was all plants and flowers and nature texture stuff. :)
Ah, I see. :)
Our teacher let us do everything, althoguh she STRONGLY ADVISED against a few. :P
(I would have checked what the topic/title was, but I still can't get my work back from her. :P ^^)
@Star: Ah. :) What're the options you're given? Did you already choose one? :) ^^
@Taia: :P
Um. We just started it, and the option-title things were, ahum, em, Fantastic and Strange, Mark Making, Spirals, Rituals, The Human Condition, Food, and if there were any others I've forgotten them. :P
Most people appear to be doing Fantastic and Strange. I've decided to do spirals. Spirals are so pretty and there's so much you can do with them . . . :) I've found some really pretty spiral things involving colour and wow-ness. XD
I'm not sure what I'll actually, like, do, though. :o Haven't thoguht that part out yet. :P
Oh, wow. Those sound like they could be quite interesting. ^^
I kind of feel like spirals would fit you, because your wordart is very spirally and wow-y and your wordart is fantastic, so... :)
Spirals sounds good. ^^
Of those, I think I might have done mark-making, because that sounds fun, and I kind of know how I'd do that?
I have a feeling a friend of mine was thinking about doing Food, and she said most people in her class were - so they might be doing the same. :) ^^
(And why did you do that, Noelle?)
Oh, Noelle.
*hugs* I'm sorry. :/
(*hugs Noelle*
Please, be careful...)
(Having a HUGE argument with a "friend", it's quite amusing! XD)
.. I keep trying to post lyrics but I'm not sure... how? So I'm just gonna say Safetysuit - Life Left to Go (x) :)
@Seirsha: *offers a hug* Sorry to hear, but good that you're keeping entertained?
Also I'm >96% certain I know who you are and am doing a horrible job of trying to work it out. Please stand by. :P
(Hello? Is there anybody here?)
(I am Kassy...
*Hugs him tightly* I'm sorry...)
(Don't be sorry. I've learnt-
Never mind. Don't be sorry. *hugs her*)
Liliana: *she sits on top of her, tickling her again*
Bethany: I think she likes you.
Claire: So, Phaestra... What is it like being the goddess of light?
Phaestra: The goddess of light, life and creation. It is... Lonely, rather boring and very repetitive.
(Hello, Sophia.)
(Hello, Tia.)
(Hey, Adam. I'm on phone so can't check it out.)
(Sophi!!! *TACKLEHUGSANDNEVERLETSGOANDISPROBABLYCAUSINGSUFFOCATIONBUTOHWELL*
^^Auto correct caused that.)
Onwa: *laughs, starting to squirm again*
I dont..
Cant the angels keep you company..?
(*she smiles, hugging Jaimie tightly back* Hello, Jaimie.)
Liliana: *tickles her more* I'm not going to give up. Not until you beg.
Phaestra: Perhaps. But nevertheless.
(I will be back soon.)
(....
Scissors...
Better get this right.)
(Hey Soph. And cya soon Soph.)
Onwa: *laughs more, squirming, getting slightly tangled in the sheets*
P-please! Merc- *laughs* Cy!
*nods*
I suppose it would be lonely..
(Never mind. Ignore that.
*returns to ghosting*)
(*returns*
*gently hugs Noelle*
*leaves to get food*)
(Please..I don't mind you mentioning if you do or don't, but please don't advice people as to how to do it. That's just..too far.)
(...
Sorry, Jai. I keep thinking it...)
evening weirdos.
(Good evening, Emerald.)
(Will poof for food.)
Are you having a good day or bad day today Adra??
(*sighs*
Thanks, Noelle. I probably won't, but... it's good to know.
I'm going to go eat now. Eating one meal a day isn't great, apparently.)
(I'm sorry Noelle but in a way it seemed like you were..)
(I am back.
Noelle, that definitely sounded like you were advising him.)
Liliana: I know no such word. *tickles her as much as she can*
Phaestra: It is. The angels are in a separate part of my realm where I do not have as much power as I do normally, so it is not advisable for me to stay there indefinitely, as there are many things I need to do, which require more power than I have there. It is rather lonely.
(I use my compass...It's sharper than scissors anyway...)
(*cuddles Soph*)
Onwa: *laughs more, gasping for breath by more* P-pl-lease Li- *giggles* -iliana!
Ah..you could take someone to your part..? Or make some people to reside there..?
(**by now
Gem..
*sighs, shaking head*
Okay.)
(I do not believe that a conversation about methods of self-harm will benefit anyone. It may give those who are considering hurting themselves or those who are at risk of hurting themselves ideas.
*cuddles Jaimie back*)
Liliana: *she slows down in her tickling a little, but doesn't stop*
Phaestra: There is no one that I trust that much who is available to stay with me. And although creating people would be an option, it is somewhat... boring. It takes thousands of years for them to evolve in such a way to think for themselves, and to leave my ideals behind.
[tiptoes in]
[hugs everyone]
[pauses, looking at everyone, one at a time]
[hugs everyone again]
[disappears]
Onwa: *gasps, getting her breathing under control, squirming, laughing*
Please s-stop!
Oh.. another God, maybe? Or, you know, Goddess?
(*hugs Fabi back*)
(Soph...
*sighs*)
(*hugs Fabi back, then watches her go*)
Liliana: Are you begging?
Phaestra: *she tilts her head* There are none that I would trust enough.
Onwa: *squirms, grinning* Never..except, perhaps for you..
Oh..um.. maybe you should get to know some that you vaguely trust?
Liliana: *she tickles her again*
Phaestra: There are none who I wish to spend an excessive amount of time with.
Bethany: I kind of used to think the same... But then I met Silente.
Onwa: *laughs, squealing slightly, squirming*
Ok-kay okay I beh-beh-beg!!!
*smiles, gently nudging Beth's arm*
Yeah. You never know till you try..
Liliana: Then beg.
Phaestra: *she shakes her head* I am fine.
Claire: Happy and single, right?
Phaestra: *she tilts her head a little at Claire* ... You are ten.
Claire: And you're like... twenty five?
Phaestra: *she smiles, laughing a little* I am glad you think of me as so young. My actual age is about ten billion.
Claire: You've aged well.
All good things come to an end.
There is a Hotel, and there is a coward that lives there.
I am weary, my dear, beloved Blogland. I am weary of the march, the incessant nagging voices in the back of my mind. I have basked in the riches of Blogland, I have tasted the sweetness that it has to offer. I have seen it, and I have been fulfilled. I have drunk my fill of the wine of the gods.
Blogland is a beautiful place, perhaps the most beautiful place that every man could conceive of. I close my eyes and I can see crystal lakes swirling through emerald grass. Snow-capped mountains rising against a dusky horizon. I can see star falling like lightning from Heaven, and endless cobblestone streets that twist and turn through every marketplace and bazaar. Rivers that run red with blood. Dragons shrieking fire into the smoke-smothered sky.
There is a Hotel, and there is a coward that lives there.
The time has come to vanish, unflinching, into the mist. The time has come to cast off the cloak of shame and reemerge from it, a new woman. To embrace an ending, so that new beginnings may begin, and a thousand new world of a thousand new wonders might await me.
This is why I am leaving Blogland.
I will not return, and I will not drag out my farewell. I will not linger to wallow in your tearful farewell, or your scornful mockery, or what have you. I have but one thing that I wish to say, for I do not like to linger too often upon emotions, but the thing I must say I will say now.
I love you.
I love you more than you can possibly comprehend. A deep, warm love that fills my heart and makes me want to sing. My teenage years have been lonely, even desolate, but your companionship has made them a glory. It breaks my heart to leave, and yet leave I must.
I love you. You have changed me, and filled my life. You, you there, reading this. I love you so very much, and do not allow yourself to think for even a moment that I will forget you. I will not.
I know that some of you will not forget me, and this is the thought that is strangest of all. To think that someone halfway around the world might think of me occasionally, and perhaps smile because of me, or see something and be reminded of me . . . is there anything in the world that is better than that?
. . . This is proving difficult to write. There are so many things I wish to say, but cannot say, or wish to do, but cannot do.
I know that years from now, this place, you, these stories, all of it, I will remember. I will remember all of it, for they have changed my life in more ways than I can say.
I hope that you will remember me.
I will remember you.
Onwa: Please Liliana..please stop tickling me?
(Happy and single right?
...you are ten.
*casually breaks down laughing*)
*smiles*
Yes she has. Very well.
(Goodbye, Clara.)
Liliana: Hmm... It may need a little more.
Claire: I'm kind of... surprised? I know that Bethany is about a thousand, when she actually looks... somewhere between sixteen and twenty? But ten billion? Really? What was the big bang like?
Phaestra: It was merely a large pulse of light designed to start the creation of planets, and therefore life, in this universe. It was rather bright.
(*hugs Clara tightly, refusing to let go, crying silently*
*whispers*
Faretheewell, majestic pirate Crowley... I know I'll miss you..I hate good byes, but if you need to leave, then I hope its worth it, and I hope you're well..
*smiles slightly, sadly*
Guess I'm basically the last Gluer standing now..
*sighs and sits heavily*)
(For the record - I am aware that the universe is 13.8 billion years old rather than ten. It was simply an attempt to imply that Phaestra had lost count of how old she is.)
(*pops in*
Goodbye Clara
*leaves*)
Onwa: Please, Liliana..?
Bright.
*nods*
And unfortunately Claire, you're pretty much the only one here who will age physically..
Liliana: Better. *she stops tickling her*
Claire: So one day I'll look older than all three of you? That's just... so unfair.
I'll miss you, Clara. I really will. You're a fantastic person, one who I didn't get to know as well as I should have. Good bye, Clara. May you have luck and happiness in life.
You will be missed.
(Jaimie, please text me...)
