Sitting in my hotel room in Perth, on the only day off I have on this tour, two days of events left and then I go home, and I'm smiling like a loon because I've just watched the Rousey vs Kaufman fight.
For those of you who have read KOTW, you may remember the mention of a certain Ronda Rousey and her now-legendary armbars.
THIS is the type of woman I want my nieces to be like when they grow up.
And now I must go. I have a lot of work to do on my day off...

Have wondered about you
Where will you be
When this is through?
If all
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem
My life again?
My life again
Fire the fields, the weed is sown
Water down your empty soul
Wake the sea of silent hope
Water down your empty soul
Fight your foes, you're not alone
Holy war is on the phone
Asking to please stay on hold
The bleeding loss of blood runs cold
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own

(Oh, dear. Sorry, Noelle.
Damn, I'm sorry. I just don't understand how Adra functions. Like, she could attack Tanya just fine...
I'm sorry.)
*reaches out a hand to stroke Adra's hair*
*softly* It's okay...
You don't have to talk.
It's okay.
Everything is okay.
(*wakes up and shuffles on*
Star if you're still awake, go to sleep!
Kas you too. Sleep..
*shuffles back off to sleep*)
(*happily munches on Jai's hair*
*is weird like that*)
(*shakes head and weakly pats Kas on the head*
Sleep now...
*wanders off and falls asleep*)
*moves his hand to brush Tanya's away* With all due respect, Tanya, she is my wife.
*Adra's fingers tighten in his shirt*
And with all due respect, Alastair, I don't see how that's relevant.
*softly* I don't know if you want it, but, you have my forgiveness. I will not harm you.
Adra... do you know why I didn't just shoot you?
*Adra's sobs come back, and she begins to tremble*
I didn't shoot you, didn't really try to hurt you too much, because I felt you and Alastair deserved, still deserve another chance.
(*wonders if everyone has left*)
(*Just got back*)
*sits up, pulling away from Adra for just a moment, taking her hand* Tanya, I have just had an incredibly taxing day- in part because I spared you pain. What you're saying now is not going to help us. I would appreciate it if you left us alone while we're trying to heal.
*meets her eyes* And if you had tried to shoot her- which would not have worked- I would kill you. I appreciate your belief in second chances, but please leave us alone.
(Hey, J!)
*sighs*
Of course. Wouldn't want this monster around your wife any longer than necessary, right?
Take care, Adra.
*leaves*
*he didn't mean that, but doesn't have close to the amount of energy it would take, emotionally, to be polite and correct her* *wraps his arms around Adra again, burying his face in her shoulder* *after a few moments, begins to cry softly against her skin*
(Welcome back, Blake)
*Adra feels her lungs seize up in the anxiety, and grips Alastair's hand tightly*
Joss Whedon? Didn't he direct that black-and-white version of Much Ado About Nothing?
*J
Forgive me, I'm still acclimating to your name))
-
*Adra Doesnt understand how people can be so cruel with words- how they can be so selfish* *She feels terrible*
(Maybe Adra should try using some words herself.)
(That's cruel.)
(It's alright Noelle, either one works.)
Zanida: Second chances often work.
((Which would you prefer? J or Blake, though?)
*Adra shivers, and tries to hide more behind the pillow* *She doesn't want to be seen by anyone- save Alastair- her shame is too much*
(I did not mean to be cruel. I'm sorry, Noelle.)
(Zaffy!)
(@Zaffy Tom Hiddleston revealed in an interview with the Guardian that the code name for the film (Avengers) early in its production was 'Group Hug'.)
(J, I suppose.)
(@Zaffy According to director Joss Whedon, the original cut of the movie was over 3 hours long.
After Thor takes Loki off the Quinjet down on the mountain side, two large ravens fly by them as they are talking. In Norse mythology, their father, Odin, had two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who would bring Odin information from Midgard (Earth).)
(@Zaffy There were very few times that everyone was in town at once, but on one night when they were, Chris Evans sent them all a text message simply saying "Assemble" (the tagline to the movie), prompting a night out on the town. Clark Gregg has stated that this is his favorite text message that he has ever received.)
...
(@Zaffy basically this: http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/trivia?ref_=m_tt_trv_trv
Enjoy!)
(Noelle? :c)
(@Zaffy Disney had the film's title changed in the United Kingdom to "Marvel Avengers Assemble" to avoid confusion with the iconic British espionage franchise The Avengers (1961)/The Avengers (1998).
This. This really annoyed/confused me.)
:/
(Noelle?)
((A/N: So, yeah, as you may or may not have noticed, leaving the blog didn't work out. Again. -_-))
(( [hugs Noelle] ))
(Then don't leave! *hugs Sib extra tightly*)
*hugs Adra tightly* Let me know what you're thinking...?
((Msd, or I'll be severely distant. *hugs Noelle*))
((*hugs him gently* I feel terrible.)))
*Adra shivers, laying her head against him* I'm ashamed- and I'm hurt that she was so cruel.
(...
:c)
((And I feel like I could die)
((*holds Noelle* I'm sorry.))
I'm sorry about Tanya.
You don't have to feel ashamed, love... *softly kisses her skin*
*She likes it when he kisses her skin*
*Cries softly, hiding her head against him* I can't- I'm so ashamed.
...
Self-diagnosis is never a good idea.
*kisses her skin again, pleased by the contact with her and the knowledge that he's doing something she likes* I'm sorry, love...
*Closes her eyes* I don't want to see anyone anymore- besides you and the children...perhaps trip
*had been planning to do a no word comment again*
*decides against it*
Hello.
(I'm sorry. For everything. I'm so sorry.
I'm off to sleep now, definitely going this time. Good night.
Good day to you, Hope.)
Hi/bye, Tia... Have a good rest.
Also, sorry for slow responses. Wifi troubles again...
It's ok
If you would like that, my love, I have no objections. *laces his fingers with hers*
*She shudders* I can't anymore... I can't interact
*mumbles*
I gotta stop following everybody on Twitter...
*is distant*
Going to try drawing now.
I feel bad I read all of his comments and I wasn't commenting cause I'm working on a major project not school related.
TIA I AM LISTENING I SWEAR I WAS NOT IGNORING YOU!
-Zaf
Now I feel so guilty....He was openly talking to me and I wasn't even here...
*slams head* I'm a horrible person.
*just leaves*
-Zaf
Hello.
Zaf...
*hugs tight*
Just explain when you see him again. At least you weren't really ignoring him.
...
*hugs Audra*
Hey. How are you?
*counts how many blank pages she has left in her drawing book*
*needs to buy a new one soon*
*mentally saves that note in her 'things to buy' list*
Hey, I'm ok, how are you?
*hugs Lavender back*
(Alastair, I might disappear soon- I'm extraordinarily tired, and the headache with the pain of a thousand burning moons.)
I'm a little... Meh at the moment... Tbh.
*hugs Noelle*
Get lots of water and rest when you can. I hope it goes away quickly...
(...
Yeah, I might pass out.
Bye.)
*hugs Noelle again*
Don't strain yourself. :( Bye...
If anyone's interested.

Hello?
Hi Ignis. Have we met?
And of course, the first time I comment no one is here.
Oh well.
I'll be watching for a bit longer.
-_-
And of course as soon as I say that someone comments.
Hello Lavender, no we have not met, nice to meet you
Oh. Well then, welcome to Blogland.
*smiles*
Sorry, I'm a little distant. But I'm here!
Nice to meet you too. :)
*hands her a cookie*
How are you?
I have a pet phoenix named Ignis.
Hi Blake. Didn't realize you were still here.
Um, thanks for the cookie?
I'm fine, thanks.
Hello Blake, pleasure to meet you. A suitable name for a Phoenix.
I'll brb.
Indeed it is, nice to meet you as well. Oh and Lav I've been here for hours just watching YouTube and occasionally reading comments.
Yesssss.
I dedicate this page to all new Bloglandians. Ignis, Aria, Firefly, and any that I've forgotten or haven't met yet.
@Ignis: it's a tradition for the first person who comments on the next page to dedicate. You'll probably get a chance to. Some people don't like to, but back in the old days, it was actually an honor and quite fun. :)
Should I continue from last night a bit?-Zaf
I still like to dedicate... when I can think of something good, anyways.
Okay, correction. Sometimes people fought over being first on the next page, but recently a lot of people have a hard time figuring out what or who to dedicate to. And see you soon!
@Blake: *sticks her tongue out at him in a teasing way* You could have said something.
Could have, but I didn't.
Hello.
Go ahead, Zaf. It's interesting to read your self role plays. :P
More like a story unfolding while other characters aren't around.
*nods in agreement at Blake*
If I can't think of anything good, I just do random. :P
Hi Guinevere! Are you new too?
Hi Guinevere! Are you new too?
Hello Lavender.
I'm not new new, I came on in September for a few comments, then left and ghosted (?) for an eternity, and now I'm here, completely reinvented.
*sighs*
Does it make me a hypocrite when I say I don't like role playing or reading role plays when I unintentionally do it anyway?
Or does it just make me seem mean that I'm choosy about the role plays I read/join?
I don't want to be mean... :/ And I don't want to ignore people either... That includes their role playing.
*sighs again*
Oh. Okay. Well, I wasn't even here in September, so nice to meet you!
*shakes her hand and gives her a cookie*
:)
*Zanida stood alone, her lance in her hand, staring across the garden from her room. The day's preperations for war had begun, she had been endlessly questioned by the warriors. Finally, enough was enough and she had went to her room. Thor entered, walking over to her and pulling her close. He was always gentle with her, especially when he knew she was upset.*
Thor: Did they upset you?
Zanida: It is not that, Thor, but the fact that Loki is doing this! I wish I knew why! Why does he want revenge on Asgard?
Thor: Loki does not think beyond his own selfish desires, I once had hope for him, but I do not now.
Zanida: He did so well...
Thor: I understand. *he kisses her hand, and then turns her to face him* Come back down by me, I need all my warriors.
Zanida: Alright. You want me helping?
Thor: I do.
It's very nice to meet you too. Thank you for the cookie, I do like cookies.
*smiles*
You're welcome. Me too.
*reads Zaf's comment and awaits the next one*
Seems legit, hi Guinevere.
*The two walk down to the others, Zanida calmer now. A lot would set her off these days.*
*Loki stands on the mountainside, one of his secret pars even Zanida knew nothing of was open. The select few he took over waited for his word*
Look at them. They prepare for war....to stop me from taking over Midgard.
Ravel: You told us the Asgardians were far more advanced, surely they know what your intent is?
They do not. They believe me to want Midgard, but they do not believe I dare attack their precious city. I do not want Midgard. I want Thor to suffer.
Ravel: Zafira joined them.
Zafira lacks intelligence, she hardly is thinking, she has not a mind after what I did. It is better that she joins Asgard.
Ravel: Spare her life.
I shall spare those worthy. I can spare her life, if I trust you to stay loyal.
Ravel: I will.
Good, good. *he points to the palace* I want that. We attack from the gardens though, that side they never will suspect. We'll also attack at dusk, the time between guard shifts.
*Ravel nods and Loki and him go back to Midgard*
Hello Blake.
Ooh, can I just say how interesting it is that you have mages and Norse gods in the same place? I mean, I've known for a while now, but just thought I'd mention it.
*is procrastinating on her drawing and is now looking at old posts and comments*
... Meh.
*In the palace the Asgardians gather, warriors and apprentices. Thor is working out a strategy, they know what is coming*
Thor: I want guards always out. We cannot for one second lower our defenses. I want two warriors guarding Heimdall. Loki will try anything.
Sif: His children, we should keep an eye on them. Loki is beyond logic, his children can easily be targets to hurt us.
Zanida: I'll ask Frigga, she would rather die then allow a child to be harmed.
Thor: We can ask her, I know Mother is very skilled in swordsmanship, I have no doubt she can defend against anyone.
Zanida: If that's all....
*The meeting ends and the Asgardian warriors go to their duties*
Thor: Zan, I always will love you.
Zanida: And I for you.
Thor: Rest.
Zanida: Not unless you come.
Thor: My queen always worries.
Zanida: Odin once said that to Frigga, or something similar.
Thor: I share my father's caring side, perhaps. *he walks with her to their room, the two sleeping, Thor protective of Zan, especially with a Loki out somewhere in the Nine Realms*
((Thus ends the Second Part. I sleep.-Zaf
Thanks, Lav! I find it fun, I mean....Mages aren't typical Midgardians so Loki values they fight and have magic. Thor doesn't see that.-Zaf
Night Zaf!
*waves*
I have to go too. Lunch. Bye Blake and Guinevere!
*poofs*
Good day once more, 'Blogland.' I must say having read a few of the previous comments you are hardly gentle with your 'fresh blood,' as they have been called.
Sounds cool. :)
Now I'm going. Bye!
*poofs again*
I think that I probably need to go and do some silly homework.
Goodbye Loki, Blake and Lavender.
*pokes Heart*
Isn't it still a little too early to be up at this time?
*should really be going, and has to charge her iPod anyway*
I'm back.
It amazes me how fast people comment.
Very nice writing Zafira!
Farewell Lavender Hope, Guinevere Zorn, Loki Laufeyson - King of Asgard and Protector of the Nine Realms.
Good day, Ignis Avel.
I'm afraid, Lavender Hope, I have no idea what you mean.
Pleasure to meet you Heart Breaker.
A pleasure to meet you too. I trust your day is going well, Ignis Avel. And please, call me Breaker. I insist.
Fine, I suppose.
And if I am to call you Breaker than you are to call me Ignis.
How has your day been?
Why of course, Ignis. If that is how you wish to be known.
My day has been rather uneventful. One might say boring.
Forgive me, for it appears I must depart. Farewell, Ignis. Perhaps we shall meet another time.
buıʇsǝɹǝʇuı
Of course Breaker, goodbye.
Hey Sibyllin, nice to meet you!
Enchantée.
How are you, Ignis?
I am fine, thanks. How are you?
I'm well enough. Really bored and annoyed with my author.
Boredom is no fun..
May I ask, why are you annoyed with your author?
I should go.
Goodbye, I'm not sure when or if I'll be back...
Because she doesn't want to write or comment here! And writing and commenting here are basically my only ways out of her head.
It stinks.
À bientôt, Ignis.
(Hello.)
(Hello..?)
(Hello, Jaimie. *hugs her tightly*)
(*smiles* hey Soph. *hugs tightly back* sup buttercup?)
(Berengaria: Exactly. There will be many of them, so I will only be able to hold them for a day or so at a maximum. But that will be enough to take the pressure off and allow the soldiers down there to gain the upper hand.)
*nods*
Okay..how can we help?
(Buttercup? I don't understand.)
Berengaria: It would be helpful if you could assist the city soldiers whilst I spread my influence.
(xD ah sorry. I meant 'How are you Sophia?' Above, below or on average?)
*nods*
In dresses..
(From email I would presume belooooow.)
(I do not say average any more. We made an agreement. I am, however, depressed, yourself?)
Bethany: I may have to change them back...
Berengaria: Nonsense. Have you never attempted to fight in a dress? It is easier than in armour or trousers.
(Yeah but you..*rolls eyes* never mind..
I'm not so bad. Worried about a certain someone.)
*raises an eyebrow*
How is fighting in a dress easier? You trip up more. And the material gets caught. And bloody..
Berengaria: Your legs are easier to move. It does not matter if they get covered in blood, as Bethany will be able to fix that.
Your legs get tangled in the material..
(Maybe Soph should start fighting in dresses ;) *hugs tightly, soothingly stroking her back*)
(I am fine with armour, thank you. *hugs her tightly back, holding her close*)
Bethany: I'm just going to change them back.
(Aww but you're pretty in dresses..*doesn't let go, stroking her hair and back*)
Probably smarter. And quicker.
(Hardly. *cuddles her, relaxing a little*)
Bethany: *her hand glows white and their dresses return to their usual forms*
(Very much so. Although maybe for safety purposes it should have a back.. *cuddles her back, continuing to stroke her hair and back* It'd certainly be an interesting sight..And different to the armour.)
*smiles, the pressure of her knives and swords returning*
I should buy a bow..
*takes Beth's hand*
(I would rather have my armour. It looks better.)
Bethany: Shh... Don't say that here. *squeezes her hand gently*
(It does look okay..*scowls slightly at the armour* But I've seen better.)
Why?
*squeezes her hand back*
Berengaria: The Bow of Aztraya is a weapon created by Phaestra for if the other gods would rise against her. It is kept here. Why do you think Minerve is attempting to gain access to the city?
Ah. Right. Okay. So..don't talk about bows here. Got it.
*nods*
Bethany: It wasn't exactly a good foundation for god-mortal relations.
It certainly doesn't sound like it would be..
Berengaria: So if you two would kindly go and assist the soldiers now...
Of course
*taps the sigils to activate her wings*
*flies up, still holding Beth's hand*
Bethany: *flaps her wings to keep alongside her, flying to the top of the wall*
*squeezes her hand*
At least nothings eating our souls this time..
Bethany: That's always a good thing. *looks down at the battle below them* Like deja vu, yes?
Ha, Sibyllin's author is the opposite of mine. Where hers doesn't want to comment, mine does and so uses me when she can't comment herself.
I find it sometimes annoying because she can't seem to make up her mind about how she wants me to comment for her.
Anyway, I'm not even here so-
*disappears*
Exactly like deja vu..
Well so long as she herself doesn't turn up, we cab hanfle it..
Bethany: Yes. *she smiles* Ready?
Ready.
*drops into a dive, grinning*
(Good morning everyone. There was like 3 new people on last night and I couldn't say I to any of them D: omg Sil you didn't do your welcome thing.)
(Hey Aria! Who didn't I do my welcome to?)
Bethany: *uses her wings to slow their descent, making them land on the ground gently*
(Hello, Ariadne.)
(If you mean Ignis and Heart, it's cause I wasn't here..I was asleep..)
*draws a sword, the one Beth gave her, and looks for the enemy*
(Yeah, Ignis, heartbreaker and that other guy. ;-;)
(If only I could welcome people in my sleep..that'd be cool..
Ah. My wake up call has arrived.)
*Minerve's soldiers are directly ahead of them, like a swarm of blackness*
Bethany: *she draws her spear*
*aims with her sword, letting a burst of white energy smash into the black*
*Don't let Minerve notice, don't let Minerve notice, don't let Minerve notice..
Bethany: *does likewise with her spear, knocking several soldiers flying*
*rushes forwards, continuing to fire energy, starting to decapitate too*
Bethany: *swings her spear, slashing through several soldiers* *they start to reach what appears to be a few hundred of Minerve's soldiers stood in a circle*
(*Is ghosting* Meh.)
*frowns at the circle, getting closer*
*shouts to Beth*
What's this??
(*cuddles Aria* had a good night?)
(Yeah, watched the end of turbo with my brother and then Divergent)
(*nods* never seen either of thos films...)
(Divergent is amazing.)
*three of Minerve's soldiers suddenly get sliced in half, another being knocked away with a wave of light*
*there is a soldier stood in the middle of Minerve's soldiers who is wearing golden armour, and his entire body is seemingly shining with light* *in his hand, there is a sword which he is using to effortlessly destroy Minerve's soldiers*
Bethany: It's an Acolyte.
Wow..that's cool..
*shakes head and focused on killing soldiers, ignoring the little voice in her head claiming that he would be better for Beth*
*that voice pops up too often*
Bethany: *speaks between landing blows on a soldier* Acolytes are the protectors of the weapons Phaestra made. *she frowns a little* You're perfect for me.
Acolyte: *he runs a soldier through with his sword, firing a pulse of light out of the soldier's back, killing one behind him*
*smiles slightly at Beth*
You sure bout that?
*winks*
Thought light needed light?
*tilts head*
Wait is he like your brother??
*keeps killing soldiers*
Bethany: I'm sure. *impales a soldier on her spear, twisting it out* No, he isn't.
Half brother?
*removes another head, then an arm*
*fires energy into a soldier getting too close to Beth for comfort*
Bethany: He is one of Phaestra's creations. We are of no relation.
Acolyte: *he slams his sword to the ground, a wave of white energy dissolving any of Minerve's soldiers in its radius*
*watches them dissolve*
Wow..
*hacks through soldiers until she's beside Beth*
Hey how do we know Min won't notice all her soldiers dying and just send more? Or come herself..
Bethany: We don't. But we have to hope. *throws her spear, impaling a soldier* *her hand glows white and her spear returns to her*
Hope..Yey..
*moves slightly away again, going back to attacking soldiers, hacking them*
*suddenly, a white mist surrounds the battle* *Minerve's soldiers cease to fight*
*blinks at the white mist and smiles*
About time.
*glances at Beth*
Do we keep fighting?
Bethany: *she shakes her head* We are done. Let's go back to Berengaria.
*nods, taking her hand*
*jumps, taking off, flying back over the wall*
Bethany: You're so strong. *she smiles, landing on the wall besides Berengaria*
Berengaria: We need to go back to the council.
*smiles slightly, also landing*
*slips an arm around Beth's waist*
*nods*
Okay..dresses again by any chance?
Berengaria: Yes. It is illegal here to have a political meeting in armour, unless you are an Acolyte.
Really? That's stupid..
Beth can you make the dresses again?
*smiles at her*
Turbo was a good movie.
*also only saw the end part*
Divergent was awesome and really close to the book. Close enough to be good.
*read the series*
Also, distant and msd, but I'm here for a bit. Hi.
(*cuddles Lavender* hey.)
Bethany: *she nods and her hand glows white, transforming their clothing into dresses again*
Berengaria: Hardly. It is rather clever.
Hi Sil, Soph, and Aria. How are you all?
If you say so
*smiles at the dress*
(I'm okay. You?)
I'm okay too. Still working on that drawing, but I'm having a hard time drawing the angles of the cat's face.
*frowns at her drafts thoughtfully*
I have the image in my head, but DRAWING it is the hard part.
(I'm, meh)
Berengaria: *extends her hands to them*
(Yeah..drawing it hard..)
*takes Bere's hand, arm still around Beth's waist*
Sorry to hear that, Aria.
*hugs*
