NZ

New Zealand, eh? Lovely country, full of lunatics...

I arrived on Tuesday, checked into my hotel and met up with a friend who's living over here. By nine that night, every time my eyes closed I was in serious danger of falling asleep right there and then. Only the fact that my luggage had been misplaced somewhere between Dublin and Auckland kept me from turning in early. It's not exactly a nice feeling, wondering if you're ever going to see your luggage again. You start thinking about all the clothes you packed, about the toothbrush, about the phone charger you might never see again...

I went to bed, then was woken at 2 AM by reception- my luggage had arrived. They delivered it to my room and I wept manly tears of joy. Or, y'know, I shrugged and mumbled a thank you and went back to bed. Whichever.

It's now Friday night, and tomorrow is my last day in New Zealand. It's been astonishingly good so far. Every school I've been to has been great- really enthusiastic people, ready to have a laugh. Two schools even did a welcoming Haka-type thing, which was awesomely cool.

The public signings have been great too. This afternoon I did one in the Children's Bookshop in Christchurch, where I met a load of readers, including Jordan, a girl who had kept me updated about her status after the recent earthquakes. It's always nice to meet people I only know online, and she had many, MANY questions to ask.

Tomorrow is my last day in NZ, and so the first chunk of my tour will be over. I've really enjoyed my few days here- this was a great way to kick off the tour.

EDIT:

I've just read over what I've just written, and it's all so sickeningly POSITIVE and nice. Bah humbug! There needs to be some grouchy stuff in here in order to be genuine- so I'll just say that I STILL haven't been able to see Katie Taylor winning the gold in boxing, and I am NOT happy about that. I can't even find it on YouTube.

Bah YouTube! Bah!

Every single Irish Minion knows who Katie Taylor is, and they're as proud of her as I am. What a girl.

(*Hugs Jai tightly*
I turned him down anyway...
Which fucking sucked.
Anyway, I met their friend Connor yesterday and he looks like my cousin callum...)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dugglyn: :)
Yay! Maths buddies!!! :)

I just like the experience of it. I like doign things like rearranging equations, because it's just fun, and then I like long complicated things that you haev to work out because when you work them out it's the same kind of satisfaction as I get from winning a verbal argument.
(I love that. That moment when you're just pulling your points from the sky because you've never thought about the topic before, but they're coming together, they're coming together, the end is in site, and in a rush of quick-thinking and adrenaline, you manage to corner your opponent adn you know you've smashed it, you've won.
<3
I haev arguments with my sister like that.
With C, we haev more debates than arguments, and I normally lose. XD)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

My favorite is definitely algebra.
But what's indecies?

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh shoot. I'm supposed to be getting dressed.

Soy!
Pie!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Bye Dugglyn?
Hello Star.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles gem*
If he wasn't right for you, he wasn't right...


Indecies
Standard form
Completing the square (algebra)
Quadratic formula
Solving quadrarics
Simultaneous quadrarics
Reverse percentages
Surds
Volume of cones and spheres.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dugglyn: Probably. :(
I have no doubt that in mathematical ability, however, I am not actually better than you. :) :)

Indicies. Got that.
Fractions. Got that.
Decimals. Uh, sort of. I cam sort of multiple them.
Graphs. I'm okay with graphs?
SOLVING ALEGBRA bring it on. :)
Quadratic equations I can do easily without a con-
a -
thingy in front of the x, and if there is a thingy, I can still work them out it just takes me longer. Plus I know the quadratic equation by heart.

:)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(No it's not that, Keiron is amazing. But I just got out of a relationship...i'll look really bad if I jump straight back into a relationship.
I'm just...gonna be single for a while. Then possibly go on a date with him...idk. I'd rather he was juts a friend though...
He's the only one I could turn to in December that night I cried my eyes out for hours...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(What even ARE INDICES? Hehe..uh..Well, that's a good sign.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: I do not want to, Onwa. I am sorry.

Bethany: That makes us sound like we were using you... We weren't... I just wanted you both to be happy and hoped it would bring you some sort of kindness?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*cuddles Gemma tight*
It's okay..)

Star Inkbright said...

Standard form. Okay.
Completing the square . . . um . . .
*tugs at memory*
That's where you factorise it a little bit and then you add it -
my visualisation is failing, but I know what I'm doing.
Quadratic formula, yes. Minus b plus/mins the square root of b squared minus four times a times c over two times a.
Solving quadratics, already mentioned.
Simultaneous quadratics are a thing?????? No one ever told me . . .
Reverse percentages are a thing?? What are they???
Just googled it, and, yup, I was doing that on Friday.
Surds. Surds. I can do them.
Cones and spheres??
Um, let me get my past paper. It had the equations for those at the front. XD

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: You know I'll dim the pain Liliana..
*gently takes her hand, closing them around the knife, pressing the point to her own stomach*
*bright eyes locked on hers*
Go ahead. Push.


*holds Claire close*

Star Inkbright said...

@Dugglyn: Those little numbers? Like, two squared is also know as two the the power of two, and the 'to the power of two' bit is an indicie. :)

*nods*
*pretends I know something about relationships*
*gives up and drops all pretense :P*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I should really stop talking about my relationships on here. People will start hating me.
and Em complained that night I broke up with Adam...
I act like I don't care, I don't want to care, but I really do care what people think about me...)

Star Inkbright said...

I won't start hating you, Aria. :( I'm just totally incapable of offering any kind of advice, so that's why I don't really talk to you when you mention them . . .

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(text me instead if you want gem..?)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm also probably spelling it wrong. I don't think it has the second 'i'.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Nah Jai it's fine, I was only saying...I don't know if I want a boyfriend for summer...I was meant to spend last summer with Struan but he went to France...
*Sighs heavily and hugs a pillow tightly*
I'm so bad with guys...)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: *she withdraws the knife, breaking it in half* Sorry.

Claire: What?

Star Inkbright said...

@Gemma: Considering the amount of people that want to go out with you, I don't think you can be overly bad . . . ?

Noelle said...

A boy at my brother school killed himself yesterday, I think. One of the girls on the team is really upset. His name was Grant Egberts, I think...
It's really

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(But the only successful relationship I've had is George...
After a year and 3 months he cheated on me...
The amount of times I've fucked up...
I honestly don't see why anyone wants to go out with me at all, Star.
I'm not a nice person...not anymore...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Go out with girls instead! XD)

Onwa: *nods*
Okay. Its fine.



Sorry. You're small and cuddly..

Star Inkbright said...

@Noelle: :O . . .
*hugs*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*sighs* Don't tempt me Jai...it seems a lot simpler...)

Noelle said...

Enticing..
:/
I might make another post this evening.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Probably is in all fairness *rolls eyes*


@Noelle oh my...I'm so sorry..)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: XD

Yes! I'm sure there's plenty of girls who'd want to go out with you, Chi! :)

In all seriousness, I know someone who has a lot of crushes and really wants a boyfriend and, as far as I know, they've never had one because no one wants to go out with them.
I know other people who've only had one relationship and it's been bad.
The only way you get good at the whole relationships malarky is through experience and learning through your mistakes (so basically, if I ever find someone I want to go out with, I'm screwed XD).
A year and three months is a really long time for a relationship at our age. Very few people I know have managed to keep that one going that long.
Plus, let's thing about this for a moment. What are you looking for in relationships? What are you trying to get out of them?
Would you really want to only ever go out with one person?
*shrugs*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I am bad with guys, Adam. I feel as though ill never find what George and I had...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*sighs*
Send me the questions star.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I always fall for the funny guys, Star.
I don't really care about their looks because George was chubby and ugly as fuck.
But he was an amazing boyfriend, we did everything together...he treated me so well, his friends were my friends, he always made an effort to see me and it was fucking perfect...Except that he wasn't the prettiest or the sharpest tool in the box. But that didn't matter to me... I helped him with his studying, his family was amazing and I loved them...they gave me chocolates for helping him study...
*sighs*
I honestly loved him...
He's the only one I can say that for with 100% certainty.
I don't regret going out with him at all.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: :)

*nods at Chi*
Okay.

Sorry, I'd have to put quite a lot of thoguht into response if I made one and I'm kind of multitasking so I can't think immediately. D:
*still thinking*

As I come to them, Silente?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*gently hugs Gemma*
I hope you find someone..when you're ready for someone.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(If you could star.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Okay. :)

I'll do that over email, then.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Thanks star :)

Star Inkbright said...

*nods at Chi*
So what went . . . wrong with your other relationships, then?
(You don't have to answer - this is totally optional).

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: Apologies.

Claire: Hey!

Bethany: You are rather cute...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: It's fine.
*lightly strokes the feathers*
Hmm. Not your colour.
*eyes glow vibrant silver and the feathers turn black, the stripe of blond going silver*
*smirks*
Better.

Shh. You're adorable..
*clears her throat*
Sleeping arrangements?

Noelle said...

...
Bye, then.
*Leaves*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Goodbye Noelle...)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Matthew cheated on me
Ryan cheated on me
Patrick was long distance, went out on roblox for a year...I left him for george
George cheated on me
Adam didn't fucking talk to me "confidence issues"
Went out with Ross, he never went out anywhere with me.
John, I cheated on him with Adam, long distance
Adam, fell out of love, long distance
(Lots of other ones that were long distance that I don't really count, i'll add the names anyway
Adam, Tristan, Malik, Alexis)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Maths hurts.. :/)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: Indeed. I rather think so.
*she tilts her head at Silente* You could either sleep in the dungeon, or one of the bedrooms in the palace. It is entirely up to you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: *mutters*
I wouldn't have given them the choice.


Bedroom..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(It's working again!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*laughs and cries*
Oh God. I'm gonna fail maths GCSE..
And THIS is why we click lesson and dont go straight to homework..)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Jai...you're not going to fail...*hugs her tightly*)

Savannah said...

(Today was my sister's birthday party.
I wasn't allowed to join in.
Her friends were annoying.
I wasn't allowed pizza.
BUT I HAD CAKE.

The most upsetting thing about this day is that when she opened her presents, this one girl had given her a Skulduggery cushion and bag. I was jealous as can be. I mean, I am a more devoted and obsessive minion, yet she has more Skulduggery merch than me. That's just... Sad... I must now search Skulduggery merch...)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: We must be hospitable to guests.
Perhaps it would be wise to sleep in the same room.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I really am Gem..it'd be depressing if it weren't so funny how easy it is to fail.




I could never find Skul merch..)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*nods* I'd prefer that me and Beth and Claire share a room.

Onwa: You can have one opposite ours. Come.
*walks in that direction*

Savannah said...

(There's little to no Skully merch... *cries* BUT I did find a phone case with my fave quotes on BUT they only fit iPhones BUT that just gives me more of an excuse to get a better phone! *squeals*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Well...I'm going to go...
Night guys
*Hugs everyone*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(xD you can make your own merch..?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs gem*
Bye!)

Savannah said...

(Night Gemma!

I suppose... *begins drafting ideas*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Okay... *she takes Silente's hand, following Onwa*

Claire: *she follows behind them*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: *walks with Liliana*
*gestures at the room opposite theirs*
Your room.
*points at her and Liliana's bedroom door*
Our room.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

@Star oooh! Exponents. Yeah, I know how to do those!
But you guys call them weird names :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(You call them weird names!

They're so confusing.
I've just kinda decided I'll fail them.
Standard form I can do..)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

No we do not!


What are you doing with them?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I dedicate this page to Jaimie.)

Claire: We're not stupid? We can understand it.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hear hear!!!!!! :D :D

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Weird maths that confuses me *nods*)


Onwa: Good. Don't come in our room unless it's an emergancy, such as Bethany dying. Sleep well.


*opens the door, walking in*
*frowns*
Hey Onnie? There's only one bed.

Onwa: *glares at 'Onnie'*
Share.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*mumbles* not hear hear..raeh raeh.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear, Jaimie is awesome!)

(Hello, everyone!)

(Still need help with that homework, Jai?)

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry, I kind of poofed . . . I was doing Jai's maths. :P

Jophiel said...

*mutters something about the 'N' word*

*it's not racist*

*it's just another fucking word*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Kas.

She isn't doing my maths she's just..inserting my answers..)

Star Inkbright said...

Yeha. If someone could explain Silente's indices homework in a human way,t hat woul dbe helpful. My brain working int he way it does, I'm not sure how well I can communicate, seeing as how I worked itotu myself and so don't know it in a straightforward manner . . .

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yeah. If ANYONE could explain them I'm English that'd help xD I don't understand star language.)

Savannah said...

(Hey Kas!)

*cautiosly steps onto the escalator*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: At least it's better than being alone with the parasite...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*flaps her huge wings and turns her head in a circle, staring into Star's eyes with her own huge ones, reading her thoughts*


Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Doing my homework like a TELEPATHIC NINJA OWL.

FEEL THE POWER.

COWER IN FEAR.

(Or not. :-P)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*feels the power*
*cowers in fear*
*or not*
:P

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

YES DUGGLYN

YES

...

Or not. :-P

[Flies off into homework land :-( ]

((Sorry! Talk to you later!))

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: Very few people do, apparently. XD
I think it's because my brain works in concepts as much as words. I kind of word maths out in concepts and then I'm like "oh, storms, I have to explain all these thought-links in words & numbers." XD

Yeah. I'm trying to do them at the same time as you, though - although I'm putting your answers in as opposed to mine.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello, everyone!)

(@Danni it's a word. Here's a song: Gangsta Rap http://youtu.be/0itOCgJtNVU

)

*steps on the escalator, holding on on the side and looking at Kayleigh to ensure she doesn't fall*

Savannah said...

*grins* This is cool... *frowns and turns around, slowly beginning to walk back down*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*nods*
I guess..okay.
*guides Claire in, tugging Beth after her*
Bed time..


Onwa: *leaves them, focusing on Liliana*
I won't let it give you nightmares..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*wraps her arms around Kayleigh as she reaches her*

Savannah said...

This is weird... It won't let me reach the bottom... Evil stairs... *wraps arms around Tanya*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

They're meant to be taking you up. There are other stairs that will take us down.

Savannah said...

*blushes* Okay...

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Oh.

*lets go of her as they start to approach the top*

Savannah said...

What do you mean "oh"?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Okay. *she nods, sitting down on the bed* I'm... kind of glad we're here? Although Onwa and Liliana having absolute power over us is... a little concerning.

Liliana: We should take turns to watch.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*looks at her*

N-nothing.

*tries to divert her attention from her own blush*

And at the end of the escalator you step off. You might feel dizzy at the abrupt end of movement.

Savannah said...

*nods* Okay... *looks nervous then jumps at the end, squealing*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah. Just a little. Liliana I trust, to some extent..
*sits beside her*


Onwa: Okay. I'll take night you take day.
*smirks*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: So do I... We should take turns to keep watch.

Liliana: Hardly. We can change every few hours.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I dont need sleep, it's fine. Vampire remember? All I need is blood.
*smiles*
You two sleep..


Onwa: You know I won't be able to sleep without you right? I'm...not used to sleeping alone..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*jumps with her and gently holds her in case she stumbles*

Savannah said...

*giggles* That was fun...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Still... We need you at full strength. We can change every two hours?

Liliana: I am not going anywhere. But I believe we should change every two hours.

(I will be back soon.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sighs*
Fine..two hours. I'm taking first watch. Both of you, sleep.



Onwa: *sighs*
Fine..do you want second watch?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*laughs*

I'm sure you'll enjoy the film even more.

*starts approaching the theatre vendors, holding Kayleigh's hand*

Savannah said...

*squeezes Tanya's hand and laughs lighter than before* I'm looking forward to it!

Star Inkbright said...

*renames Jai #FailinginSomeWays,SucceedingInOthers,JustLikeEveryoneElseOnThisPlanet*

Star Inkbright said...

Failing at completing the squre (like me, I haev to add -_-).
Succeeding at being awesome. :)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*the vendors have dozens of different snacks, popcorn, crisps and drinks*

*smiles at Kayleigh*

Pick everything you want, I'll get the tickets.

*reluctantly lets go of Kay's hand and steps forward while she chooses what she wants*

Savannah said...

(I like that name Star!)

Savannah said...

*buys a packet of sweet and salty popcorn*

Star Inkbright said...

@BANANAS: :) Me too. :)

Savannah said...

(YOU FORGOT THE IN PYJAMAS BIT!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Kay? What would you like to drink?

Star Inkbright said...

WELL SUE ME. :P

Savannah said...

I'll have lemonade please!

Savannah said...

(ACTUALLY WHEN I'M OLDER I WANNA BE A LAWYER SO I WILL!)

Savannah said...

(Stay strong Adra, we all love you and would miss you like hell. *hugs*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

Bethany: *her hand glows white, an alarm clock forming in her hand* *she sets the alarm for two hours* Promise me you won't stop the alarm?

Liliana: No, I shall take the first.

Star Inkbright said...

WELL
WELL
/WELL/!

*has no comeback*
*is too tired to think of one*

*gives up on argument to go hug Noelle*
*goes hugs Noelle :)*

Savannah said...

(*grins smugly*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*carries the food/drink*

The screen is this way*

*turns to face it, her own hands full*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sighs*
Promise..
*half smiles*
Now sleep. Oh, what do I do if I see her..?



Onwa: I'd rather you slept first..
*is casually ignoring her exhaustion*

Savannah said...

*takes some of the things* Here, let me help.

Savannah said...

(Poop, I'm supposed to be asleep... Bye!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: Wake me up? *she removes her armour and her clothing, a white silk dress forming in her hand* *she smiles, stepping into it* *she climbs into bed*

Claire: *she shrugs, making no move to get changed, climbing into bed*


Liliana: Do as you're told, or I'll make you wear the collar when Silente and Bethany are here. Now sleep.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Good night, Iris!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, watching them*
*kisses Claire on the forehead, Beth on the lips*
Sleep well girls..I'll be here.



Onwa: *frowns*
The collar? Which one?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: *she kisses her back* Get into bed, Silente... I need someone to cuddle...

Liliana: The one on the lead?
*she sighs* Before you go to sleep, there's something I want to tell you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, slipping in beside Beth, sliding close to her, pulling Claire close on her other side*



Onwa: Yes?
*smiles reassuringly*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: *she cuddles against her, resting her head on her chest, closing her eyes*

Claire: *she hugs Silente's arm*

Liliana: So a thousand or so years ago... Bethany escaped from Onwa's realm. There was a lot going on at the time and my mother was on the verge of giving me my own realm.
I knew Bethany wanted to escape... And whilst she was running, I tripped up a demon who would have caught her, so she managed to escape. She didn't even notice, but it made all the difference... My mother hurt me. *she takes off one of her shoes, showing Onwa the underside of her foot which is blackened and scarred* From a century of standing on hot coals every second that I was awake, for what I did.
Then I killed some angels... And Bethany tried to kill me so many times... I always faked fighting back. I not once landed a serious blow on her. She's my little sister... I love her. I always have.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, shifting back slightly*
Night girls..Sleep well..



Onwa: *winces at the blackened, scarred skin*
*nods*
I understand.. I'll help you protect her as best I can Liliana..

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Night. *she closes her eyes*

Bethany: Goodnight, Silente. *she kisses her cheek before cuddling against her, relaxing a little*

Liliana: And although I do not care a great deal for Silente, she does. I want you to look after all three of them, Onwa. Now sleep.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles and listens, watching*


Onwa: *sighs*
I'll..try. Silente and I shall hardly get on but I can try to not despise her..
*nods, looking like she might say something then nods again*
Yes, Queen Liliana.
*silently climbs into the bed*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Deleted comment?)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*creaking floorboards can be heard outside their room*

Liliana: Alright. *she undresses before climbing in next to her, holding her close* Sleep well, my dear.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*watches the door with icy precision*



Onwa: *presses against her*
Dont forget to wake me..?
*presses against her chest, eyes closing*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*a child's giggling can be heard from outside the door*


*the moment Onwa closes her eyes, she appears in a room, with black bricks as walls, inside her dream* *the parasite is stood in front of her*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*shifts a tiny bit, glancing over Beth and Claire*
*whispers*
Leave them alone..



DreamOnwa: *frowns*
You. What do you want.

Onwa: *shifts a little, moving closer*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*a shadowed hand can be seen grasping towards Bethany's head*

Parasite: For you to have sweet dreams, of course. *she smiles* How are you?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sends blinding light at the shadowed hand*
*growls, a low sound*
*rushes into Beth's mind, shielding it*


DreamOnwa: Of course. How kind of you. I'm fine, how are you?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*the shadowed hand then casually grasps at Claire*

Parasite: I'm good. Would you like to play a game?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sends blinding light at it again struggling, shielding Claire's mind too*
Leave..them.


DreamOnwa: Do I have a choice?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*sighs*

*acknowledges everyone*

*returns to ghosting*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*pokes kas*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*pulls away from Jai's poke*

No.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*another hand forms, grasping at both Bethany and Claire simultaneously*

Parasite: Of course not. Let's play, "Who does Liliana love most?".

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*shields both their minds, yelping slightly at the strain*



Owna: *frowns*
The answer is her sister. I am no fool. Move on.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*the light cannot be seen from underneath the door, as if two feet are blocking it* *the feet start to pace up and down*

Parasite: But how about Silente, hm? They slept together a lot. And Liliana won't let you hurt her.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I have to go now. Goodbye.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Good bye, Sophia.

Good night to both of you!)

It's a musical, it's off Broadway but I know the theatre is a very good one because I have been there to see Sweeney Todd

*hugs Rose*

Jophiel said...

*hugs Loki back tightly*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am watching....the Grammy's.


((Rose its Tom's birthday tomorrow (today for you)-Zaf

Jophiel said...

The Grammy's, huh? Well, I've got to put up with listening to my author's friends talk about her behind her back, because they don't think that she can hear them.

(I know.)

Jophiel said...

The bell is going to ring soon, so I will have to depart.

Goodbye, Loki.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Goodbye...Rose...Perhaps mine will have a snow day.

I'm juxtaposed

Jophiel said...

So my friends spent the entire lunch time bitching about me.

And I confronted them about it over FB.

Let's just say that I've had enough of them, and I didn't need to hear what they had to say.

They know how fucking fragile I am right now. They could at least put that into consideration.



I'm deleting FB now, I'm not going to talk to them, I'm not going to acknowledge that they're my friends anymore.

I don't care. They've made me cry too much.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*swallows, Watching the pacing, continuing to shield both their minds, tiring rather quickly*

Onwa: *shifts closer to Liliana, mumbling a little, growling the tiniest bit*

RamonA: She doesn't love Silente. Even a fool can see that.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello.)

*the parasite appears in their room as she paces past*


Parasite: *she changes her form to that of Silente* Are you sure, Onwa? Liliana and I have slept together more than you and she have. Mmm... I love Liliana.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey. *cuddles*)

*keeps watching her, trying not to tense up too much in case she wakes Beth or Claire*


DreamOnwa: *glares, flushing red in anger*
Yes, I'm sure. Sorry to let you down little harlot but not everybody loves you.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her back*)

Parasite: Hello, Silente. *she smiles, walking towards the bed* How strange it must be to be completely alone with me. *she sits down on Silente's legs*

Dream-Parasite: Of course they do. Mmm... Because I'm the nice one. All you are is a name. Nobody likes you.
Wait... Am I in your dream? The parasite must have trapped us in the same dream...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*shifts her legs slightly*
A little..
*tilts head*
You'd probably be rather beautiful if you grew up. I could imagine you leading sailors to their graves.


DreamOnwa: Liliana likes me well enough.
And if you're in my dream then stay in your corner and shut up. May as well get though these two hours.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Parasite: What, like this? *her form shifts to a beautiful young women, though she still has empty eye sockets and around her eyes is just bone*

Dream-Parasite: Actually... I think I'd rather test something. You, harlot, have been nasty to me since we arrived. I wonder if I kill you here, you'll die in real life also. *she drags her nails down her arm, forming cuts in the dream and in real life*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*blinks*
Uh, yeah. Kinda..



Onwa: *hisses, flinching*

DreamOnwa: BITCH!
*slaps her, immediately healing her arm in the dream*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Parasite: *she shifts back, gently stroking Bethany's hair* I'm hurting her right now. Look at her back. Don't worry, she can't wake up.

Liliana: *she frowns a little*

Dream-Parasite: *her neck breaks and she falls, before she appears beside Onwa in her normal form, keeping the image of Silente's body there* That wasn't Silente who you killed. They were under my control, and I made them look like Silente, but who was it, I wonder? *she smiles* I'll give you three guesses.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Leave her alone.
*pulls and arm free from Beth's hug, grabbing the parasites wrist, pulling it away*
She's done nothing to invoke an attack.

Onwa: *shifts, growling a tad*


DreamOnwa: *swallows*
I'm not playing your game.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Parasite: I only hurt her a little, don't worry. You've hurt her more than I did. I cannot say the same for Onwa, however. Feel the bones in her neck.

Dream-Parasite: You are in my game. Make the most of it and play along. Guess who.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*frowns*
*gently feels the bones in Beth's neck*



Onwa: *crosses her arms*
No.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

*the bones in Bethany's neck are broken, and she has a hand print on her face from Onwa slapping her*

Parasite: It wasn't me.

Dream-Parasite: Then I'll just tell you. *she reappears beside Onwa, whispering in her ear* You just killed Bethany.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*screams, pulling free of Claire*
NO!!!
*puts a hand either side of Beth's neck, pouring healing magic into it, already crying*
Nonononononono..come on Beth please PLEASE!!!


DreamOnwa: *freezes*
No..I never..

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *she wakes up* What? Why are you screaming?

*Bethany's body heals, but she doesn't open her eyes, nor does she start breathing*

Parasite: Her mind is with me. Would you like me to save her?

Dream-Parasite: Actually, yes you did. *Silente's body shimmers, until it transforms back to Bethany* She was under my control, but you killed her. I'm sure Liliana would love to hear this. Silente already knows.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Please..
*sobs*
Please..s-save her!
*looks at the parasite desperately*

DreamOnwa: *freezes*
*whispers*
Crap..

Onwa: *struggles slightly, trying to wake up*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: What's happened?

Parasite: I am in a kind mood. I will save her. But first... *she places her hand on Bethany's head, and vanishes*
*Bethany sits up, opening her eyes, which are only empty sockets* Now I'm beautiful.

LIliana: *she decides to wake Onwa, shaking her*

Dream-Parasite: Goodbye, Onwa.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*hyperventilating slightly*
*shakes her head, hugging Beth tightly*
*sobs and whispers*
G-give her back!


Onwa: *wakes up, gasping slightly*
*bolts for the door, yanking it open then opening Sil's door*

(Hello. I'm going out again today.
And tomorrow, so i'll hardly be on. But i'll catch up on this when I come back.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello.)

Lavender Hope said...

*hums*
*should probably be putting her stuff away, but really doesn't want to do that yet*

Jophiel said...

Do I even have friends?

I don't know anymore.

*curls up and sobs*

*again*

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Danni*
Course you have friends. Even if we're not close by, you still have us.
*keeps her in a hug*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello, Danni and Hope.)

(I'm sure you have some friends. *nods*

And you've got us.

*hugs her gently*)

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Kas. How are you?

Btw, I think it helps me to say your 'author name' now that it's your display name. I don't know how that works, but it does. And it was just something I've been thinking about for a bit.

Lavender Hope said...

*disappears and reappears in her treehouse*
*realizes she still has some wonderland magic in her*
*flops onto her bed with a sigh*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.))

,*acknowledges Hope's comments, unable to think of a response*

Jophiel said...

You guys are the only ones I have left.

Even Andrew...

Shit. I'm crying again.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Danni*

I understand, Danni. I'm ina similar situation. But there will always be people who are there for you.)

Lavender Hope said...

*keeps hugging Danni*

*gives Kas a questioning look*
Sorry, being completely honest here, that was a horrible joke. XP But no worries. :)

Jophiel said...

They say that the only way for you to get good grades and good sleep is with no social life...

I've even deleted FB because of them...



I better go now...

Take care, Danni. Good night!)

Lavender Hope said...

FB doesn't have to be what your social life is about. You can still be social and have friends and hang out with them, but know when enough is enough and be happy with that. Studying hard and sleeping well doesn't have to mean no social life. It just needs balance.

I don't really know what I'm saying right now, so... If it makes sense, good. If it's confusing, don't listen.

Noelle said...

223... Wearing cardigans today for that kid at X. Hopefully no one in my classes will cry. If so, I'll surely lose it.
