Answered emails today. Avoided them all weekend. Made some phone calls. Paid some bills. Life after a tour always seems to stilted. It takes a while to process everything and figure out the best way to tackle a few weeks' worth of stuff piling up outside my door...
While I'm getting back into the swing of things, here's something for you Irish Minions...
http://www.inismagazine.ie/blog/entry/help-wanted-interview-derek-landy
And here are a few things that the Minions-With-Funny-Accents gave to me while I was Down-Under...

«Oldest ‹Older 3601 – 3800 of 4894 Newer› Newest»*Adra slowly gets up, exhausted*
*Screams in pain, thrashing against the air*
Onwa: *laughs, pinning her arms to the tree, bark and wood growing over her wrists and ankles*
Bethany: Okay... *her body glows white for a second before her hair changes colour to black - her armour also changes to a black dress, and she has long fangs where her incisors would normally be* *her lips also shimmer and become black with lipstick* *her feathered wings, meanwhile, become black and leathery*
*Glares and breaks the bark starting to surround her limbs*
*Fights through the pain, screaming*
*Launches herself at Onwa*
*smiles, looking into her eyes*
*nods*
Still the most beautiful angel ever..
*gently pushes her shoulders back, laying half over her*
*the first Alastair stays with Adra*
-
Do you think yourself uniquely powerful, Onwa, because you're a name?
Onwa: *let's aria touch her, flying them both backwards*
*hugs her almost in an embrace, both of them rocketing up*
*starts crushing Aria in the almost embrace*
Onwa: *in Alastairs head*
Of course not. I'm no God. But I'm powerful, and a quick learner.
Bethany: I'm not, trust me... *smiles, cuddling her close* Can I turn back, now?
*Leans over and kisses Alastair, behind his ear* I need to go fetch some toast to eat..
Mmm..if you want..I don't mind. Either way you're beautiful. And it's always the same eyes..
*grins, kissing her gently*
*Bites her face, trying to get her to let go*
Onwa: *laughs near hysterically*
*drops Aria from 50ft in the air*
*heals her face, watching*
(Msd for an hour)
Bethany: *kisses her back* I feel uncomfortable like this... *her body flashes white again and she reverts to her normal look*
((Alright, Noelle.)
May I come with you?
-
Ariadne is a god. Do you not think yourself stronger than she is?
Onwa: I think myself more likely to use my full power than her.
*smiles*
Hello again normal Beth.
*walks towards Onwa*
Told you I'd deal with the Erebus problem. Too bad you wanted him gone as much as I did. Oh, well.
Now will you behave or do I have to imprison you too?
*Lands with knees bent, creating a small crater*
*Smirks and looks up at Onwa*
(This is kind of her alter-ego btw. This is Melione, She's Ariadne's complete opposite.)
Bethany: Hello. *smiles and kisses her*
Onwa: *smiles back at Aria*
*glances at Tanya*
You couldn't even come close.
*drops, landing beside Aria, making her own crater*
*eyes glow more silver and Arias sight temporarily fades to black*
*kisses her back, slipping an arm under her waist, holding her close*
Bethany: *smiles, wrapping her wings around her*
*is a trained assassin*
*Uses her senses to see where Onwa is*
*Kicks off her shoes then launches her feet into her chest*
*grins at the wings*
Fluffy.
*gently strokes them*
(Star, Kas? are you there? I really need pointers on this essay...)
Onwa: *the feet meld into her chest*
Mhmm. Great idea. Attach yourself to me.
*smashes a fist down on both Aria's legs, breaking her ankles and probably her shins too before letting her fall*
Bethany: *sighs happily* Yes, they are...
Never hide them..
*keeps stroking the wing, smiling*
Bethany: *wraps her wings tighter around her* ... I think I should, for your parents...
*Hisses in pain but gets back up*
*She did that move like Erebus...trapping her feet...
*Perhaps Physical attacks won't work*
*Holds out her hands and a katana appears in it*
*Charges forward, aiming to slice off her head*
*shakes head*
No..they have to accept you, wings and all.
Onwa: *ducks faster than the eye can track, sending energy at point blank range towards Aria's stomach*
Sorry, yeah, yes resonding.
Apparently I actually know a thing or two about gun laws in America, as far as debating goes. :O Not as far as essays go. :)
*just
Not yes. O_O
Bethany: But they're human... They won't know of angels or my mother or anyone... It'll be hard to explain... It'd be easier if I pretended to be human...
* shakes head*
Only mama is human. Papa is a mage, as is granmama.
(Omg Star you're a star xD
That's amazing...you're amazing *hugs her tightly*
I might actually be able to get this essay out the way now.)
*Detatches the IV and heart monitor*
*Slowly rolls out of bed and into the wheelchair Adra left for him*
Bethany: But they're still human... And seeing someone who isn't human... And with wings... It might...
(Sent email, Aria.)
Shh. They accept you for you.
Bethany: Okay... But what if they don't like me?
*walks towards Onwa*
Let me show you something.
*Manages to wheel himself to the library, curious as to how it compares to his own*
*sighs, looking at Melione* Everyone has an alter ego these days, I suppose.
Then they're fools. And we'll be even
*smiles*
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow, watching Tanya approach*
(Hey J.)
Bethany: Even?
(Hello)
(Hello, J.)
*raises her hands, clear that there's nothing in them*
*is pretty much in front of Onwa*
Ready?
Yep. One mother who doesn't like me to one mother who doesn't like you. Sounds even..
Shall we go meet your family?
Onwa: Do anything foolish, and you rupture.
(The Dark Knight. ITV 2. Now.)
(I am aware, Tia. I am watching it.)
Bethany: Sure. *she smiles* We may have to go to Phaestra's realm first so you can see my sisters...
*nods* okay. That's fine...how many did you say there where?
*smiles at Onwa*
*moves forward, pulling an arm behind her, pulling her into a hug, and brings her right hand to Onwa's head, moving hair from her eyes and then slowly, soothingly rubbing her head*
(If you'd had this done to you, you'd appreciate how nice it feels. It's like... it feels great. Like, better than a back massage.)
*Falls to the ground, screaming, stomach blown apart*
Y-you...bitch...
*Coughs up blood*
Onwa: *frowns, highly confused*
What are you doing.
*pushes her away*
Bethany: Nearly four hundred...
Onwa: *laughs at Aria*
Oh God...that's a lot..
*smiles at Onwa*
Just trying to make you feel good.
Bethany: You don't have to remember them all... Just be nice to them? They are kind of dead, so...
Onwa: *steps menacingly towards Tanya, her vision fading to black*
You took away the one person I may have considered a match.
*nods* right...nice...I can manage nice..
Bethany: You can. *she smiles, holding out her hand* Ready?
*takes her hand*
Ready..probably..
*walks over to Melione, and moves to place a hand on her shoulder and heal her*
And, if you'll remember correctly, last time we met I tried to work out a deal that would have benefited us both.
As it is, you chose to spend the rest of your days with Silente, while I get to keep Erebus imprisoned.
Onwa: *grunts*
Or I could eradicate Silente.
(Back... Bartley fucked up my neck..)
*Blake, the library will be a couple storeys of material..)
(*cuddles Noelle gently*)
T-thanks...
*Looks up at Alastair*
*Glares at the back of Onwa's head*
*Adra nods* Okay... Will you carry me?
Bethany: *they vanish in a flash of gold, reappearing in Phaestra's realm, where four hundred women are situated* *some are reading, some are writing, some talking, and some are observing what is happening in other realms* *all, however, are wearing white dresses and have blonde hair - along with feathered wings folded up on their backs*
Hi... I wondered if you'd like to meet Silente, my girlfriend...
*blushes bright red, shifting slightly to behind Beth*
Hi..
((Can I join in with Zan or Thor?-Zaf
(@Zaf I presume you mean the Onwa rp? Correct me if I'm wrong..)
Of course you can. Do you want a massage? *smiles*
Onwa: No.
*sends Tanya flying backwards with air, hoping to smash her head first into a tree*
((Wow... I think I pulled a muscle- fuck.
-_-
I was cantering- Bartley is really bouncy because he's big- and there was this one bounce that I wasn't staying tight enough on, and my head whipped back as he went along, and then was whipped back into place)
(It hurts...)
(Damn that gelding..)
*one of the angels immediately moves to Silente and gives her a hug*
Angel: Look at you both! You're so cute!
Bethany: *she smiles and hugs the angel* Hello, Cassandra.
*nods* -Zaf
*gets up when she's healed enough*
*stiffens slightly then hugs her back*
Um..thanks..Cassandra..
(@Zaf sure go ahead.)
(Sure, Zaf!)
*slams into a tree, and lies down*
Cassandra: So how did you two meet?
Onwa: *stalks over to Tanya's form*
Don't touch me again.
Um well..I was helping her..she was being attacked..
(going to bed in 15. i have to catch up on sleep)
(Okay Aria. *hugs* sleep well.)
*rushes up behind onwa and goes to stab her sword through her*
(And... Other stuff.)
Onwa: *teleports at the last second*
(Okay, Aria!)
*slowly gets up*
Yeah, I get it. That's why I asked you.
Cassandra: Aww, did you save her life? How sweet... *she smiles, then turns to the rest of the angels* Aren't you going to say hello to Bethany's girlfriend?
*with the occasional sigh, a group of angels surround Bethany and Silente, wanting to give them both hugs and asking various questions about the relationship*
@Noelle: :O That sounds painful. :/ *hugs*
@Aria: :) It's cool. Glad my debate-reading skills came to some use. :P
:)
*watches the Sil-and-Beth roleplay* *I can't decide whether I like roleplays of this content or not - they're so horribly awkward, but the perspectives and emotions are so interesting*
Oh - probably not really here. :/
*shifts slightly, holding Beth's hand tightly*
*hugs the angels one bye one carefully*
*growls at her*
((Msd.))
Certainly, my Adra. *lifts her up, and carries her through the lab to the kitchen*
Onwa: *laughs from behind Aria*
(It was..)
(Okay, Alastair :()
*Adra clings lightly to Alastair's shirt, leaning her head gently against him* You're like my own horse..
Bethany: *holds her hand also, hugging her sisters* It's been ages... I haven't seen you since Liliana...
Cassandra: I know. It's been a while. Did you kill her?
Bethany: Not... exactly, no... The situation... changed.
(I will be back soon.)
*smiles slightly*
Its nice to meet you all..
*turns round swiftly and slices at the air*
Onwa: *jumps back, raising an eyebrow*
Stop.
(heading to bed but i know i wont be able to sleep
night)
*kisses her hair* I could be, if you wanted.
(Night Aria. Sleep well..)
(Damn.
I dedicate to sleep)
(Hear hear! Good night!)
*gets ignored by Onwa*
Onwa: *refocuses on Tanya, allowing her her sight again*
(*smiles because Joker*)
Do you need a place to stay, Onwa? There's plenty of room in the bunker. A warm bed, warm food, blood, if your body still needs it...
Onwa: No. I don't need a plce to stay.
*She smiles* No thank you. I like you for you. *She pets his face gently*
(You wanna know how I got these scars?)
(Yes I doooooooo. He tells at least two different versions!)
*looks at her*
You look lost. Like you don't quite know what to do.
Well, I better get going. If you need anything, let me know.
(I just stopped watching at the end of the fundraiser. Have other things to do and seen the film several times before, so...)
Zanida: *walks with Thor, her ribs healed9
(Never seen the first 15 minutes..)
Onwa: whatever.
Onwa: *looks at Thor and Zan*
Hello.
(First 15 minutes is excellent. :/)
Sure. See you around. Try not to cause harm to people.
(Going now, good night, Jai!
*will return later*)
(Night Kas)
(I am back.)
Cassandra: It changed?
Bethany: Liliana isn't... As bad as you think. I think she's just lonely...
*an angel approaches Silente, offering to shake her hand rather than hugging her*
Angel: Hello, I'm Alice.
In the process of reading a twenty-two page thread called "what is feels like to be trans, genderqueer or genderless" (I reckon it'll take me all week, 22 pages is hella long. 3 pages is long, 9 pages is very long, so . . .) and this is a really long-time thread, so it started in 2007 and then skipped a few years to 2010 and now I'm reading posts from 2011, and I just screwed up my forehead and did a bit of mental math and realised that these posts were written the year I first joined Derek's blog . . . I think. I was thirteen in 2011, wasn't I? And I was thirteen when I came here . . .
Anyway . . . that's just damn scary. At the moment I was an immature thirteen-year-old commenting here, these posts from people feeling all sorts of gender htings were being posted here, and like . . . I'm just trying to comprehend how this world was going on whilst I was over in this part of the internet being completely oblivious. :o
It's also scary becaues there must be so much I don't know, now, and in a few years I will probably look back and think "Damn, I was so immature and ignorant when I was sixteen," like I'm doing with my younger self now, and like . . . it's just scary, to realise your own ignorance like that.
Book of Endless Pages, I guess. :)
(Slaughter
Laughter
Why is slaughter laughter with an s?)
*gratefully shakes Alice's hand*
Hi. Nice to meet you. You..already know my name..
(Alastair, I'm sorry, but if you're going to be gone for a while...)
-
*Adra slowly approaches Onwa, curious*
(It is only natural to observe how one changes with age, Star. I do rather the same.
Perhaps, Silente, it is someone's attempt at word play within the English language.)
Onwa: *glances at Adra*
*energy swirls around her protectively*
What.
(@Sooh pretty grim word okay..)
Thor: Hello.
Zanida: Who are you?
@Sophia: I know. It's just such a weird process, to do it. :)
I read back on my old comments soemtimes when we move back to old posts, and I don't recognise myself. I don't even particularly like my old self. :S I mean that as in, if my old self were a person and I were a person, I don't think I'd like them all that much. I mean, I'd dislike them, but there probably wouldn't be that moment where I'd go "OHMYGOSH YOU'RE SO LIKE ME YOU'RE SO COOL," which I get with a lot of people similar to me . . .
. . .
It's weird. :P
@Sophia: :P I like that idea. :) :)
*I wouldn't dislike them
:/
I hate it when you mean to write "I wouldn't dislike them" and you land with "I'd dislike them," or something similar. It changes the whole meaning of the sentence. -_-
Onwa: *glances at Thor and Zan*
Onwa. I know who you are.
Alice: Silente, right? I... Was the first angel killed by Liliana. I am just glad I wasn't the last one...
Cassandra: She is evil, Bethany.
Bethany: She's... Morally lacking. But she's just misunderstood. Silente and I have talked to her. I think underneath, she actually does care about things...
Zanida: That does not surprise me.
Thor: No, it does not.
(Looking back, I do not like my teenage self. At all.)
Yeah. Silente. I'm..sorry that Liliana did that.
(Your teen self was brilliant Soph.)
(@Zaf do remember Onwa is basically Sil. Just with silver eyes.)
*Adra blinks* I heard you in a fight earlier- I'm here to ask if I can be of assistance.
(STAR may I email you my poem?)
Onwa: Assistance? How.
Alice: It was relatively painless, so I can be thankful for that. She staged an attack with some of Minerve's soldiers, then saved me and acted like she was wanting to help. Then she slit my throat when my back was turned.
(Hardly, Silente.)
*Adra bites her lip, slightly alarmed* Please, I'm a doctor, you see- I wanted to extend my medical assistance if you were in need of it.
(You were sweet and innocent. She was part of you and thus is brilliant.)
*winces*
At least it was quick..
Onwa: *waves a hand*
I'm fine. I can fix myself.
Zanida: Oh....Sil...
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
Incorrect. Onwa, not that worthless waste of space voice.
*Lowers her head, and Adra sinks to the ground in a rather obedient manner; her feet are tucked beneath her* Very well.
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow, smirking slightly*
Finally. One who knows respect.
Zanida: Another alter ego, eh?
Not precisely.
This is my way of letting you know that when you take your arrogance to a smaller level, I will be here as a healer, if need be.
That is all.
*Smiles gently to herself*
(I was stupid and far too easily tricked.)
Alice: Yep.
Bethany: I... Died. But Silente convinced Aetas to accelerate Phaestra's powers so she was able to bring her back. I'm thinking of asking him to do the same to revive you all...
Cassandra: We are fine here. Happy, even.
Onwa: I'm not her alter ego.
*looks at Adra*
Interesting..
*tilts head at Cas*
You don't want to be alive again..?
(You were brilliant and adorable.)
(My applications to Yale Brown, and McGill are going to flip me out!)
-
*Adra folds her hands in her lap, kind of tired of darkness- she's eager to see what her associate looks like, but she knows that would be impossible*
*Begins to draw small circles into the ground*
(Msdddddd..sleepy.)
Cassandra: Being alive has the possibility of death again.
(I did nothing, Silente.)
Onwa: *watches the circles*
*tilts head*
You can't see?
I..I guess..
(Still brilliant and adorable.)
Zanida: So you say.
Onwa: *growls slight at Zan*
I am not her alter ego. She is mine.
Zanida: Okay! Don't kill me!
Thor: We do not mean to upset you, Onwa.
Onwa: *grunts*
Too bad.
I am blind, yes. I lost my sight after I spent upwards of a month in Hell.
*She shivers delicately*
Onwa: sound like a lovely experience.
*lays a hand tightly on her shoulder*
Zanida: She wnt to HELL?
(Probs sleeping now..)
(Gracious, Elleni xD)
-
*Her muscles tense, but Adra forcibly makes herself relax* If your definition of lovely is as the torture of the abyss, then agreed.
(Awh...)
*walks up behind Adra, sliding his arms around her waist protectively* *kisses her hair*
*Adra lets herself be held, leaning back to press against him*
Protective are you?
*holds her a little closer* Of course.
((Alastair- will you let Aretha know I'll be in Providence and then New Haven for Spring Break..?)
*Adra kisses the base of his throat*
(Hello again.
I'm frustrated by my inability to have a fulfilling conversation with Onwa. Then again, I can barely have a conversation with anyone.
Anyways, how are you guys?)
(I'm sorry...
Cold)
((Certainly.))
*kisses her hair*
(*hugs Noelle*
*hands her an RTG to keep her warm*
*wonders what to do now*)
(Talk, if you wish to talk- interact, if you wish to interact)
(Because those are somewhere close to her, correct, Alastair?
WHICH MEANS I could meet her!)
-
*Adra presses into him, and unfolds her legs* *She presses a hand to a stomach, and is faintly startled* Hmm.
Zanida: I would be too.
What is it, love- are you alright?
*She nods* *It's just that her abdomen feels expanded, and it's startled her* *Smiles*
*smiles back at her, kissing her forehead*
So what are you still doing here, Zanida?
*Continues to rest her hand on her still rather flat tummy, but is confident* *She runs her fingers over his coat*
(Today was a slow day on Blogland...
I am reading fanfiction, so I'll be a little distant.)
(Well, I thought it was rather interesting..!)
It was interesting to read!
Hello!
Zanida: I can't go home, so I'm stuck on Midgard.
((Sorry gerbils decided to knock down the wheel...-zag
(Evening)
-
*Adra makes a face, and decides to bury herself in Alastair's chest, hiding halfway into his coat*
How are you Noelle?
*is still inwardly rather excited*
Didn't you say you were looking for Loki?
Hello Alastair, how are you?
*Adra tenses at the name, but closes her eyes, deciding to focus on the little baby in her belly*
Zanida: Thor went. He won't let me go, with me being pregnant.
*appears behind Zanida* Which he can regret, for now I have you.
*sends a few sharpened shadows in Loki's direction*
I'm alright, Dugglyn.
