Right, well, SOMEBODY at Harper Collins messed up, and I am NOT a happy writer. But, for those of you who may have heard, yes, it is true, you are getting a Tanith Low novella coming you way early in 2013 so, um...
SURPRISE!
Grrrrr.
And before you get carried away with what it might be about or who might be in it, the synopsis provided was an early one, before I'd actually started the damn thing. Biggest change? Ghastly ain't in it. Probably.
So what IS it about, you ask?
It's about God-Killer weapons. Four of them, scattered around the world. Four weapons that could hurt- even kill- Darquesse whenever she arrives. Tanith, being thoroughly devoted to dear Darquesse, does not want these weapons falling into enemy hands. So she recruits a gang of misfits and villains and off she goes to snatch them before the good guys come calling.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to stomp away and find someone to beat up...
EDIT
Also, to all my east coast Ameriminions, you better stay safe during this storm and all these power outages. That is an ORDER.

well...I don't know! that's where he normally goes!
I don't know where his tardis is? or could he be aty the arch?
Alys: *huggles*
(jack! that's the second time today that you've stolen my line!
(Right, Trip, have you seen the new hobbit film yet?)
(Sorry Chloe *evil laugh*)
Mercy: Belle, what do you think?
Sil2: No. No I don't.
(It was so ridiculous I found the film genuinely funny. When Billy Connolly came over the hill I genuinely laughed my head off.)
(*glares* evil penguin)
Annabelle: I don't know..I-I never got to know him...Maybe his home realm..?
(same trip! there was a flash mob in the cinema singing under the misty mountain!)
Bethany: *finishes by putting the breastplate on her armour* She will be here in a matter of minutes.
(The battle was good though I thought, the book I prefer though
@Chloe *Looks innocent* Good penguin)
Mercy: That place burnt, I know where he is, just seeing if you all can guess
(I kept thinking of all the DCs in D&D the things they were doing would cost, and I just laughed whenever Legolas did anything.)
(no...bad penguin)
themn where is he? *sounds irritated*
Vik: *smiles and continues hugging* what do you want to do now?
Gar: Okay... *smiles and sits up* well I'm going to go see Taw now...
Thank you for the help
(Legolas ...*fangirls*_
Okay!
*zips outside, using her reflection in the water to organize her hair a bit*
*zips back in*
Sorted.
Annabelle: well..in the past?
(When people prefer films to books they make it onto my list.)
Alys: I I don't know...
Sil2: *grunts*
You're welcome.
(I agree Trip)
(Legolas is a total nob! The dwarfs and Gandalf are badass *nods* )
Mercy: He is in London of course
Annabelle: London?
(b but I like legolas...)
London? *tilts head* crap! that's where he was in the video
Vik: Okay *smiles* we can just stand here and do nothing... Or we can do something fun, its your choice?
Gar: *shadow walks home* Taw honey?
I'm home!
Mercy: Yup, London. He is known by another name there
Annabelle: video..?
Mercy: Well done Inky, quite the detective you are
another name?
ALys: f fun?
(Okay so that's your choice Chlo and i respect that, we just have differing opinions on a ponsy elf... )
*growls at his sarcasm*
(ponsy?!)
Mercy: You have the clues you need to figure it out. I told you everything you need to know. Try and figure out his other name
(Ultimately, the overriding message of the books is that the weak- represented by the hobbits -can always beat the mighty through their clear vision of the world, unblurred by an inflated ego. That is why the hobbits are the best.)
(But Legolas is cool too.)
(Legolas has no use in the hobbit)
Bethany: Good. *smiles*
Elizabeth: *appears in a flash of blue* *she is a dark haired, slender woman wearing a black and white cloak with the hood pulled up over her head* *there is a bow strapped to her back, and on each of her gauntlets there is a miniaturised crossbow* *looks at Silente and Bethany* Hello.
its not seven or lament or something?
(Hobbits for the win!)
*jumps slightly at the suddenly appearance*
Hi.
Vik: You know what couples do...
Go for walk or do some woo who! *smiles*
(Yes ponsy! *nods* )
(yes...but hes awesome)
Mercy: No, he is quite famous there, but its not Lamnt
Alys: w oo h hoo?
Annabelle: Shakespeare! Is it Shakespeare?
please don't tell me hes 00& there *smiles*
Elizabeth: *tilts her head at Silente* Who are you?
Bethany: She's Silente... my girlfriend. *smiles*
(No! He has the use of padding out the run time!)
Mercy: No, you need to deduce his name. Good guess though, but not shakkespeare
*007
*shifts closer to Beth, taking her hand*
Hi. Nice to meet you.
(Very true Trip)
Mercy: No Inky, you have the clues
Annabelle: *sighs* damn it...is he the doctor?
Mercy: *Laughs* No Belle
Is it the video key and seven? and hes famous in London...
(I ded to 2015)
(Okay, he's ponsy and awesome *smiles* what a combination... And by ponsy I mean he's up himself... But the elf king thranduial (I can't remember how to spell his name) he's the definition of ponsy *nods* )
Vik: You know... The bed thing... That couples do?
Gar: *walks around the empty house looking for Taw and Cora*
Taw? Cora? Are you home?
(hear hear!)
(Hear hear)
Mercy: No, the clues are what I have said
Annabelle: Is he...um...uh...living at 10 Browning street?
(Taw and cora are at the cottage_
Alys: *blushes violently* o oh....
Mercy: No Belle, think
Bethany: *squeezes Silente's hand*
Elizabeth: How could you possibly know whether it is nice to meet me?
(Browning street. XD)
Annabelle: I am thinking..*frowns*
I..um..its an expression? A thing humans say when they meet new people.
*squeezes beths hand back*
(Okay Chlo *nods* )
Gar: *continues looking around before getting a can of cider and relaxing* *to himself* I'll continue looking after a break
Vik: *looks away* I'm sorry I shouldn't of suggested it, its too soon to be doing that...
Mercy: You have to deduce it.
Sherlock?
Mercy BINGO!
Alys: I its okay... *continues blushing*
Annabelle: I dont know how to do that! Uh...um..
Annabelle: Sherlock?
Mercy: *jumps around* You did it, well done
can we go now?
Elizabeth: *nods* Apologies if I may interpret your future or past whilst we are speaking. I cannot control it.
Bethany: When you said I'd find love before, I didn't really believe you... *smiles at Silente* But now I do.
Annabelle: ...*looks slightly disappointed at not having guessed it*
*pauses a moment*
What am I doing..I-I should be..looking after the pups..a-and mourning..not playing guessing games!
Mercy: Of course, after you
She said you'd find love?
*smiles*
Mercy: But you wont have to mourn if you find him Belle
COle: *hugs her* shall we stay here and let them go for him?
I don't know how to get to London from here?
Annabelle: *shakes head*
I..should be looking after Belle and Copper...they've h-had a traumatic day..
Mercy: Plane tickets?
Mercy: You starting to doubt. I knew it. He wont help you will he
Or. *Trip steps fro the shadows*
You could follow me.
Bethany: She did. And I didn't believe her.
Elizabeth: I told you to always believe what I say, even if I cannot remember what I tell you.
Mercy: MR Castalan, good idea
Vik: Is it though? *turns back around at looks at Alys*
Gar: *finishes up* well if they're not here... They might be at Inky's *nods* good plan boyoh,
Why thank you boyoh *smiles to himself*
*shadow walks to Inky's cottage*
*knocks on the front door*
Cole: he will helkp...Belle should I go
I dont have plane tickets
*smiles*
You should've listened to her clearly..
Annabelle: Cole..you go with them..
Mercy: He wont help you Cole and you know it
Who the hell are you?
Who are any of you?
I feel so old!
*opnes the door* hey Gar*
ALys: nods*
Cole: he will
(Trip, your not that old, I remember the old rp plots)
Bethany: I definitely should have.
Elizabeth: *her eyes start glowing blue and she falls silent, not even breathing*
Mercy: You really think he will help you Cole? Why would he?
Vik: Okay... *smiles*
I'm sorry for being blunt about it...
Gar: Hello taw(?)
(I know, Trip the character is in control now.)
So from what I piked up from my spying, Sherlock Pingu is live and I've no idea who any of you are.
Um.. Beth? Is she..Okay?
(Sorry)
Mercy: Well Trip, I am Mercy a telepath assassin and he is missing yes
Taw: *calls* im up in the nursery
Alys: huggles* its okay....
Cole: because he is a friend
Mercy: Cole, he hates you
its me trip...
Cole: but if Inky asks him...
(I cant believe my character actually was called Sherlock pingu)
Great, telepaths. My favourite.
And who are your friends?
Mercy: Cole, she tried to kill him
Mercy: Erm this is Belle, Cole and Inky
Inky, yes. Good, I remember you, sorry. *stands next to Inky*
I will stand next to the person I know.
Gar: Okay *smiles and goes to the nursery*
Vik: *huggles* just out of curiosity, can you even do it? Or do you have to do it with your own kind? *smiles*
(Chlo, does Taw have a bun in the oven? (because of Gar's French stick) or is she all clear? )
Bethany: Fine, I think...
Elizabeth: *turns to look at Silente, her eyes continuing to glow blue* You have been hurt in more ways than is imaginable. He who wronged you so still walks and still lives.
Cole: shes his mate...
this is cole: *points to Cole who is ranting*
this is Belle *points to Anna* and that bastard is Mercy
Mercy: *looks offended* Inky?
Mercy: Cole, the only person I see who stands a chance of convincing him is Trip
*winces slightly*
Yep. She's alright..
Taw: hey sweetie
(she is but they dont know
and what a way to put it O.O)
Alys: we can d do it with a anyone...years a ago females u used to s seduce men...
I am an honest wolf, Mercy...Trip, can you help please?
Uhhh...
Yeh, Inky's great.
Elizabeth: You do not seek revenge for what he did and yet you are still haunted by the events of the past.
Bethany: *hugs Silente tightly*
(okay and thank you, *smiles* its better than being blunt about it... I mean there is others I could've used...)
Gar: Hey honey *gives her a quick kiss* how are you and Cora? *smiles*
Vik: Okay *smiles* and really? Well at least you're not seducing me *smiles again*
*to trip* will you convince Ed to come back? I kinda almost tried to kill him...
Taw: *kisses* we are goo thans *smiles*
*Cora is in her arms*
*Cora giggles and reaches for Gar*
Alys: I im n not...
*hugs Beth back*
Well..this isn't creepy in the slightest.
*grins*
At least you already know all this
You did what now?
Mercy: She tried to kill him n cold blood
Shut up you.

Mercy: *looks annoyed*
Gar: *smiles* that's good honey,
*smiles at Cora* you want to see daddy? *opens hands so he can hold her*
Vik: Well i don't know, are you?
So Ed told you to attack him, and then ran away because you attacked him?
Mercy: He tried to fake his death
*clenches fist* can we go already before I punch Mercy?
Taw: *hands him Cora*
*Cora kicks legs excitedly*
Alys: *shakes head and blushes more* n no...
Yeah, he does that a lot.
Mercy: He does yes

Gar: *smiles* thank you *holds Cora and smiles some more* look at you go (because she's kicking her legs excitedly)
Vik: Okay, cool *smiles sweetly and kisses her nose*
We can leave when everyone going is ready.
*cora giggles and bites her fist*
Alys: s so w what shall we d do?
Mercy: I wouldn't miss this, im ready.
*growls*
Is this as usual a bad time to even bother bringing characters in? Yeah, it usually is.-Zaf
Right, all of you, place a hand on my shoulder.
Gar: Awwwww, you are so sweet, like your mummy *smiles*
Vik: Well do you want to do it?
(no Zaf, you can join in)
*places hand on Trips shoulder*
You can, but you'll be confused for about half an hour.
(Zaf you may join if you wish)
Mercy: *Places hand on Trips shoulder* Baker street please
(hey zaf)
Taw: you...
Alys: *looks to the floor and nods* I t trust you...
Gar: *grins* me....
Vik: Okay... *kisses Alys*
Taw: *smiles happily*
Alys: *blushes more and kisses back*
*chuckles a little*
I know. I was spying, remember? *pulls a light green glowing cylinder that looks oddly like a rod of plutonium. A moment later he snaps it in a blur of motion and a moment later they appear on Baker Street*
Thank god it's late, otherwise there would've been loads of tourists.
*looks around* thanks Trip, I owe you one
Mercy: Very true, cool trick there
Bethany: It is very creepy...
Elizabeth: Avoid making deals, even when it seems ideal. And you, *turns to face Bethany* when you need help, remember the realm where you are most attached beside this one.
Yeah so as usual: A bad time. *sighs* It's a wonder people even know me. I never do anything because I always am unable to join in due to not being involved from the start.-Zaf
(but Zaf...you can join...)
Zaf, you've just gotta deus ex machina.
But I agree, I feel like a fish out of water.
*frowns*
Why shouldn't I make deals..?
Eh, these things are bloody expensive these days. I kind of artificially drove up demand.
(Zaf, feel free to join)
I just can't even figure out how....*sighs*
-Zaf
*shouts* come on out Sherlock!
Mercy: Ah, still a useful item
Gar: I love you sweetie *smiles*
Vik: Okay *smiles sweetly* lets up the ante *passionately kisses*
*Pokes head round door* You?
You think he'll be in the Sherlock Holmes museum?
*chuckles*
Trip *steps out* We meet again
Alys: *blushes and kisses back with passion*
Taw: I love you too
*turns* Ed... *starts breaking down*
Elizabeth: It may not make sense now, but it will do in the future. Just remember the words as they are said. *she coughs as she starts to breathe again and she closes her eyes* Apologies. What did I say?
*Walks past Inky* Stop crying, its dstracting
Ed, why where you hiding in the Sherlock Holmes Museum?
Im on a case Tip, the curator was murdered
Vik: *continues to kiss with passion and teleports to the bedroom*
Gar: Awwwww *kisses* (carefully because he is still holding Cora)
*is surprised* I t thought y you were d dead
*nods and mentally files 'don't make deals even if they seem ideal'*
Its fine. You should breathe..
You were supposed to think that Miss Flame. You tried to kill me
Alys; *pulls him closer ad continues*
Taw: *kisses*
*cora makes baby noises*
I had no choice... and please...just Inky
Zafira: *looks down from the treehouse, and freaks out upon seeing what appears to be Alastair*
*laughs, making himself look nornal* I scared a mere Midgardian, they all fall for that.
Zafira: Stupid. Asgardian. Scum. *stalks back inside*
Sorry Miss Flame
I get it...you dont want me back...and its my fault
Elizabeth: I am breathing. Now, at least.
Bethany: *cuddles Silente tightly* You should listen...
Pretty much Miss Flame
*cuddles Beth back*
I was listening!
but can you help Anna? Justin...is dead...they want you to bring him back
No Miss Flame, why should I help?
Bethany: I meant... listen and take heed...
because you would if it was Ben or Tegan...
Vik: *is pulled closer, puts a hand behind her head and runs the other hand down her back while kissing*
Gar: *smiles* the perfect family *kisses Cora's nose* you, Cora and me (to Taw)
But it isn't Ben or Tegan
I will.. make no deals. Got it. And you, you don't forget you have somewhere to run to.
Taw: perfect *smiles*
Alys: *continues*
But you would if it was...you know what its like losing your own child
I do know yes, but I wont help and when they ask why tell them because you stabbed me and then allowed me to die *vanishes*
(gtg, bye)
Vik: *starts working on taking Alys top off* (or dress depends on what she's wearing)
Gar: *smiles* nothing can split this family apart
(okay Jacko! byii!)
Ed! *shouts*
Taw: *smiles*
(alys wears a dress)
Alys: *helps him*
*starts taking off his top*
Bethany: I won't.
Elizabeth: In about three seconds you will realise that there is something attempting to enter the realm. Within two minutes it will have arrived. Within three you will be fighting it. It may be wise to collect your weapons.
(okay *nods* thank you )
Vik: *helps her take it off and continues*
Gar: Shall we go out for a family meal? *grins*
(Bye Jack )
*blinks at Elizabeth*
Oh..
*looks at Beth*
She's helpful.
*scatters to find where she left her knives*
