A Birthday Party Around The World

A little post here, just to share the oddness that is my life.

Everyone has birthdays. These birthdays are celebrated. Sometimes there are parties. These things happen. These things are normal.

Some other people have birthdays that are celebrated in their absence, halfway around the world, by people they have never actually met. These things are definitely not normal. But these things happen to me.

My Minions, for your amusement, I provide for you a select few photos taken at the party organised by regular Minion commenter and general online-stalker, Valkyrie V Cain.


Billy-Ray Sanguine (in a lovely checked shirt tied off at the midriff... um...) and a seriously disturbed looking Tanith.


Melancholia, looking AWESOME.


Solomon Wreath, being his/her generally aloof self.


Kitana, kicking the hell out of poor Valkyrie...


... and looking pretty smug about it, too.


Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you one Nefarian Serpine, he/she of the red right hand...


... and poor China Sorrows, who has no idea what is about to happen.


Argeddion. Looking VERY pleased with himself.


You may be forgiven for wondering who is this long-haired person who is trying to woo Valkyrie, but then you will realise- it's Caelan. OBVIOUSLY.


A wonderful time had by all...


... and even I attended! (Sort of.)


And two photos to end things off. One... just because I think her facial expression is hilarious...


And the final photo of Valkyrie V Cain herself. All these photos have made me grin so much I think I've broken my face. Thank you Valkyrie, and thanks to all your (admittedly insane) friends...!

Do you know what I wanted for my birthday?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I'll quote what I told my mother, but only if you try to guess first.

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

Hello, Alastair.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

:/ probably would've been wise to ask for that.

But no, I told my mother that what I'd really like is for the human race to not go extinct within the next hundred years so that maybe [REDACTED]

Yeah, I don't have the best outlook on life.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello Loki (and Zaf!)

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

TIA-Zaf

Ah. So there are people.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Zaf.

I'll marry you if you buy me ebooks.

Also die easily once you get bored of me.

I'd say that's a win-win.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Yup, I'm off to sleep. Good night!

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

*is poor*-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Night Kallis and Zaffy! :)

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

My brain hurts.-Zaf

nights.raven said...

*enters dramatically* I'm Heeeeeeere, come out come out wherever you are

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

Trvia Crack since 4pm...-Zaf

-HB/Joe- said...

*shiftily sneaks and skirts the edge of the blog* I'm not coming out, you ain't gonna find me

nights.raven said...

*hugs back* KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLISTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKINSNSNSNSNSNSNS
I'm good, u?

Oh, Mr. Reynolds are you sure about that? *goes hunting for him through the shadows*

-HB/Joe- said...

*stumbles out from behind a tree and breaks out in a run* oh gawd oh gawd I'm not gonna make it *heads towards the exit*

-HB/Joe- said...

*spins back for a moment, hesitating* Damn, I really like that hat...

nights.raven said...

*Tackles him* Hesitation is never good. *escorts him towards Kal* And now, its time for your mandatory noogie. Then you get your hat back, fair enough?

-HB/Joe- said...

*squirms in her grasp, trying to run away again* *sees his hat sail away* All hope is lost.

nights.raven said...

*goes and gets Hellboy's hat while he's being noogied*

nights.raven said...

*hands him his hat*

-HB/Joe- said...

I disappeared, sorry
House hunters? Now, how does that work?

*creeps quietly through suburbia, a "SOLD" sign at the ready similar to a spear* I see one. Phew, that's a big 'un. Must be at least four bedrooms. I'm going in for the kill... *readies sign*

nights.raven said...

lol

nights.raven said...

It's people who are looking for a house, but I like your version.

-HB/Joe- said...

Sure, that's what they want you to think. But there's an underground House Hunting society that preys on these endangered homes. Most go for the old and ancient ones, too weak to run with the rest of the pack, and containing such sought after and well-aged insides. Others prey on the newborns, the recently built and up for auction. The whole street becomes a slaughter, moving trucks outside of every home as trophy hunters claim their prizes...

nights.raven said...

I think u just came up with a new show, nice!
Supernatural: House Edition

Sir said...

Fascinating. Both Mr. Ambrosius and Mr. Reynolds reappear on the same post. It seems as though someone is raising the dead.

nights.raven said...

Off and on, I don't really like the recent seasons, so I tend to just watch the earlier ones, but I do keep up with the recent episodes.

-HB/Joe- said...

Man, I'd watch that
Speaking of Supernatural, anyone watched Constantine yet? :D I've been saving it, haven't watched the first few episodes yet. I'm heavily appreciative of the comics, so I'm keen to see how they portrayed him in this new series.

-HB/Joe- said...

Sir! :D How do you do? And not just yourself, how is your author?

nights.raven said...

Hi Reingington! I don't think we've met *holds out hand* Nice to meet ya.

Sir said...

As per usual, Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Pendragon.

You would be correct, Ms. Raven, but I do know who you are.

nights.raven said...

My reputation precedes me? Cool :D

and HB: I've seen the movie Constantine, haven't seen the show or the comics.

-HB/Joe- said...

Zed sounds familiar. There are a lot of characters, hahah...
Was Zed one of his partners?

Good to hear, Sir, but I have no idea if that means you're doing fine or you're living well or if my ugly mug has brought eternal happiness to you upon this day
I'm going to pretend it's the latter

-HB/Joe- said...

The movie differed a lot from the comics. But the TV show's also different, I hear; he's not bi in this new series, and he doesnt chain smoke either ._. That's like half of his character, right there

-HB/Joe- said...

OH! I remember her :D just looked her up, she has black and white hair in the comics. She's one of his cooler friends :P

-HB/Joe- said...

Good onya for not spoiling :P I can't wait to watch it, but I'm putting it off till this weekend. I have to get through tonight first...

-HB/Joe- said...

Tonight I'm off to attend my school's formal, where I'll be wearing some classy attire and a nice bow tie.

-HB/Joe- said...

Yeah :) talking about it though is reminding me that I should go and get ready for it a few hours in advance, actually

I'm gonna disappear for good now, folks. ~dispenses hugs all round~

-HB/Joe- said...

Ciao~

Merry Christmas.

Lavender Hope said...

I had the freakiest dream ever had during a nap...
*shivers*
Tooooo detailed.

Lavender Hope said...

The first part I remember is that I was somewhere in Japan and there were three of us. A woman was leading me and an older man into some kind of parking lot, saying she didn't want to, but was willing to because of us.

And then it turned into this really big house where there were secret passages and basements filled with magic and normal things going on in the rest of the house above. It was like a time skip or something and it turned out that I had two older brothers and one little sister... I can't remember exactly everything, but then there was this black creature who started attacking people in the house. So we all tried to hide in a room in the basement, but it turned out that that was where the creature stayed, so it tried to attack us, but my older brothers had swords and started defending me and our little sister. Just adding that we were all screaming and shouting and yelling.

Then we reached a room we've never seen before. The walls were sort of a purple silky fabric and there were A TON of things crammed inside. I heard the oldest brother saying, "So this is our grandfather's room." We looked around and there was a lot of wooden shelves and old fashioned stuff and those china tea cups some people like to hang on walls. Then we heard the creature somewhere outside and knew it was looking for us.

I forgot what happened next, but what I remember is that we discovered that the creature was actually a human experiment and he had no shirt on. You could SEE all the bruises and cuts he had. His skin was more black and blue than his normal color, which was tan I think. And we discovered that the people who did that to him was a man, he had white hair but not so old yet, and that woman from the parking lot... Later, I think that man turned out to be our grandfather.

Another time skip because I forgot what happened next, there was this huge fight between my older brothers and the creature and our grandfather. Me and my little sister(could I just add that I don't have siblings in real life? Where does my mind come up with these things?) were mostly hiding in the purple room, listening to the noise and cowering in fear.

Later, the brothers came back and they were safe. The man/creature thing somehow turned on the man who experimented on him and his assistant, the woman, was able to subdue it.

Then there comes the SECOND HALF of the dream, which takes place a little later.

To be continued...

Lavender Hope said...

ARE YOU SERIOUS???

I typed up the second part and it didn't even post??? Now I have to write it out all over again!

Well that's just great. I don't want to type it up again... Unless there's someone who wants to hear the rest, but my dream ended so abruptly that it would be like ending on a cliffhanger.

And I have to go to lunch anyway.
*poofs*

Lavender Hope said...

*is here, wbd*
It's usually quiet during my afternoons so I probably won't be checking in all that often. Unless there's someone to talk to.

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

That's such a weird dream.

I had a dream once that my name was Jordan and I was really tan with short brown hair and I woke up, got dressed, combed my hair, ate some cereal, brushed my teeth, washed my face and went to soccer practice. It was weirdly realistic.

Lavender Hope said...

That does sound like a really realistic dream, Fabi. And hello. :)

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

It was really realistic. And another weird thing? The lady who was my mom in that dream had been my mom in a previous dream, and while she looks a lot like Jordan, she had little resemblance to me or my actual mom. It's sort of strange.

Jophiel said...

*She was tired of screaming. Tried of trying. Her fingers were broken and bloodied - she could see the bone. There was a moan to her left and she ignored it. Another prisoner was trying to escape but they had no energy left. No one had energy anymore.

The prisoners hadn't been fed for a little more than a month. The only water they got came from the leaky roof when it rained, and it rained almost everyday in Salzburg.

There were two other prisoners in the room, both suspended by hanging iron cages over a flaming pit. The young girl was the closest to the flames, each of them licking her already-blistered skin. Her hair had caught fire within the first few minutes. Her clothes had burnt to ashes. Her skin had turned black and hard and agonising.

The person to her right was dead, filling the room with a horrible stench, along with the smell of cooking meat. She didn't want to admit it, but the smell made her ravenous. She needed something more to eat than just the half piece of bread she was given every day*

Lavender Hope said...

Well, I heard that things in dreams are created by things you've seen, whether in real life or movies.

Even the slightest glance at a passing face is stored in your mind...

But I have NO IDEA where my dreams come from. The creature thing, I guess I could understand, and to be honest, my siblings reminded me of the siblings from Narnia.
*doesn't know the spelling of their last name*
So there's that...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Memories.

Wow, that's really good writing. Creepy, but in a good way.

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

(*wakes up to quiet singing and freezes*
*slowly peeks out from under her covers, looking for the source*
*shivers and jumps when something touches her back and the singing gets louder*
*realises she accident left her phone playing the lullaby Lavender sung*
*quickly shuts her phone up*)

Lavender Hope said...

Whoa, what?
You fell asleep to my recording?
*laughs*
Morning, Sil.

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

(Yes and its creepy as Hell to wake up to singing coming from behind you.)

Lavender Hope said...

:P

Well, other than being spooked by my singing, how are you?

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

(Cold. Very cold. Much too cold. And tired. Very very tired. You?)

Lavender Hope said...

I'm just a bit bored, to be honest...

Reading, trying to draw, trying to write. I've got so many things I want to do that I just get lazy and not do anything.

Blarg.

Lavender Hope said...

I do hope you'll get warmed up though. Not much one can do about tiredness when they have school soon.

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

(xD sounds like me..only usually homework is on that list though.


I've decided upon a fav line from the Lullaby.)

Lavender Hope said...

What is it?

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

('And sure enough a family will cry'

Most people will think I'm talking about little reds family..)

Lavender Hope said...

Ah.
*understands*
Because no one really thinks about wolf families, huh?

By the way, Clara said it was THE BEST THING EVER, and Snow said it was awesome.

I'm really glad all three of you like it so much. :)

Lavender Hope said...

*clears throat*
My singing that is. You especially. :)

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

(Exactly. No one sees it as 'the wolf needed to feed his family so was getting little red for his pups but then was visiouly hacked open' they see it as 'bad wolf good girl'

We like it cause its amazing!)

Lavender Hope said...

I've actually read some published stories about the wolf being the good one though, so there are some people who've realized.

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

(Good. -nods- I always feel sorry for the wolf. Boiled in a pan, hacked apart..)

Lavender Hope said...

Another song I like is Sing it from the Soul. I want to make a melody for that one, but I just don't know how.

It sounds very upbeat though, so if I ever did make a melody, I'd have it fast and happy.

Jophiel said...

Moscow - 1847

*She was strapped to a table, staring at the stone ceiling, waiting to die. How had death escaped her for these months? Months of torture and pain and torment...

Another knife found her stomach and she cried out. It wasn't as bad as the first few that hand entered her. She was more attuned to it, it was easier to ignore them.

The mace started working her knees again. Then the hot iron to her neck. Her screams echoed throughout the room, bouncing off the close walls. She couldn't see them, or the people destroying her flesh. Perhaps this is where her fear of the dark came from.

Then something happened.

It felt almost as if she had slipped into a dream. She opened her eyes to see her bedroom in her old house. Creamy walls with plush cream carpet. Her blue blankets were so warm, so comforting, she forgot how much she had missed her home.

She smiled up at the stone ceiling, confusing her captors. Why was the prisoner grinning? What had happened to her screams?

They continued to work on her, bus she never lost that grin*

Lavender Hope said...

*agrees*
Although, in one version that was on a TV show, the wolf turned out to be Little Red herself.

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

(Sing it from the soul IS upbeat. That was the while point. A lot of the songs I'd written were a bit...down beat, so I decided to do an upbeat one.)

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

(-these memories are nice to read-)

Lavender Hope said...

*wonders if the prisoner girl had died*
Seriously, Memories, you're writing style is amazing. And dark. But still amazing.

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

(Amazing and dark fit well together.)

Lavender Hope said...

Yes they do.

Speaking of writing... I posted something on my blog.

http://lavenderhopestoryblog.blogspot.com/

If you want to read it. And just a warning, I'm going to have to go in ten minutes.

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

(Back from reading!)

Lavender Hope said...

What did you think?

*is trying to figure out a melody for SIFTS*
Hmm..

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

(I wanna read your stories!


-laughs- you'll figure one out. -does, of course, know what mnelody she thought of for it but can't exactly describe it-)

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

I want to write now. Why now? It's midnight, and I'm already starting to feel it.

Gladys, though, and Fabi...

Why did I start that new solo plot? It almost hurts to write. And by almost, I mean it does. A lot.

I can't... I don't know...

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

(-hugs Fabi tightly- Shh..sometimes you've just.. have to write. For your sanity.)

Lavender Hope said...

Great! I'll see if I can't post a bit within the next few days...

*has found a melody for the chorus already*
It's just the verses now... But one tiny thing stopping me.

How do you pronounce your name exactly? I just think of it as Silent with a silent e...

And I have to go. Be back later! Bye!

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

Sometimes you need to sleep for your sanity.

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

(Sigh-lent-E)

Lavender Hope said...

*hugs Fabi before she goes*
I agree with Sil. Sometimes, you just can't help it... But get some sleep first and see how you feel in the morning.
*poofs*

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

(@Fabi that too. But sometimes I end up unable to sleep (or think or talk) because I have poems or songs or stories that HAVE to be written..)

Jophiel said...

Moscow Asylum - 1849

Professor Nabatov: Has she moved since she was brought here?

*Professor Nabatov and his assistant, a young man - not a day over twenty five - by the name of Makhil, stood watch over the young girl. Scars covered her body - the recovery had been slow and arduous for them, but the girl remained smiling at the ceiling through it all. She had not moved for the past two years, but something about her fascinated the two. Maybe there was a reason, a scientific reason why the woman would not move. She had been through torture so extreme that many had fainted and lost their meals at the thought, Professor Nabatov included.

The girl's hand clenched the White sheets, crumpling them. Makhil gasped and tugged on his mentor's hand. Nabatov rushed to the young girl's side and shook her shoulder*

Professor Nabatov: Miss? Miss! Are you awake?

*The girl blinked, slowly coming out of the dream she had been in. Whatever it had been, it must have been better than the small, white room she was in*

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

(You too El. -hugs-


-reading-:)

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

(-cold feet-
-very cold feet-
-it snowed last night or this morning-
-a lot has turned to sludge or ice, but still, SNOW-
-happy dance-)

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

(Bye El..
-is still being ignore by her friend-
-yay :(-)

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

(-is also ill while at school and feels like shit as it is-)

OH MY DAYS!!!!!
I'm going to the Cardiff winter wonderland! With Chloe!
I'm just so excited!
*happy dances*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello?

Garret Falcone said...

Hello Tia / Kas)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Gar!

I have a headache and I'm off to find some meds for that. :/

How are you?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Mmmm, medication is good.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh Gar. I am so jealous.
How far apart do you two live?

Garret Falcone said...

I be good thank you Tia,
i hopes your headache goes away soon.
well I live in Newport and Chloe lives in Swansea, so we're not that far apart and there's no need to be jealous Matty, its only Cardiff...... (lol)

Garret Falcone said...

I feel tempted to try get the next ded....

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

If I get the next ded,I will dedicate to Garky.

Just kidding! :D

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Ok, indirect ded to Garky. How's that sound to you?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Two deds then, ok?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Ok, going for it.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I still have another ded in this post.

Lavender Hope said...

Boo

Garret Falcone said...

Lol, trust you Tia *high fives... Your nose*

Mine!

Lavender Hope said...

Mine?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

But I'll only use one.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You misunderstand; I'm jealous that you get to see her at all, haha! In a nice way, of course, I'm not spiteful. I just think you're lucky :)

Garret Falcone said...

Mine?

Garret Falcone said...

Aw thank you Matty *bro hugs*
*hugs everyone!*

Lavender Hope said...

Muwahaha! >:D
I dedicate to Tia and Garky!

*doesn't actually know what to dedicate to*
Ah, never mind. You guys can have it. Unless you don't mind the ded?

*clears throat and blushes in embarrassment*
Sorry. Hi.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*sighs*

And here I was going to dedicate to Garky and to the importance of condoms. Whatever.

Do your thing, Hope! (Hi Hope and Matex

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear for Garky!)

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

All these dedocations are beautiful, just wonderful. Im particular, thank you Tia for reminding us of the importance of condoms.

*hugs Gar back* hi all! Not really here as usual but might comment from time to time.

Lavender Hope said...

In addition to that, I also dedicate to Matex and Sil.

Hi guys!

Garret Falcone said...

Hear hear! And hi hope!
Tia, Garky isn't at the stage that requires condoms......

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Awwww thanks Lav

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Typo typo typo. Please ignore all my awful spelling mistakes.

Lavender Hope said...

You're welcome, Matex. :)

*is a girl and is finding the conversation to be getting awkward*
...

Lavender Hope said...

And now there's no conversation...

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*pokes Lav*
Just because you're a girl doesn't mean you can deny the importance of condoms.

(I'm really not sure where this conversation is going. I agree, awkwardness will probably ensure.)

Garret Falcone said...

Lets just change the subject before it gets even more awkward.....

Lavender Hope said...

@Rhos Yes please!

I'm starting to write again! And I posted something on my story blog.
*goes back a page to get the link*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*laughs*

Nixion Strange said...

Just dropping in for a couple of minutes.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*laughs*

You guys are so awkward! :3

Garret Falcone said...

Ok Hope, I'll have a read of your blog *nods*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Nixion!

Lavender Hope said...

*screams and tackelugs*
NIX!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!!

HIIIIIIII!!!!!
:D

You have no idea how good it is to see you!!!!

Garret Falcone said...

Hello Nixion *offers handshake*

Lavender Hope said...

On a calmer note:

http://lavenderhopestoryblog.blogspot.com/

Nixion Strange said...

Why hey there Lav. How's it going?
I saw that you came back a couple of days okay. Just never had the time to be on properly. So welcome back, I suppose.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*tacklehugs Nix*

Lavender Hope said...

Seriously, Nix, how have you been? I know you probably saw my comment about TBA and it made me smile so wide to hear you guys talking.

I MISSED YOU A LOT!!!!

Lavender Hope said...

It's going a lot better to see you again! I KNOW I've been gone almost a whole YEAR. But I'm going to try to stay on more often now.

I hope to see you more too! How's Mist and Soarky doing? Have you heard from Eve or Lynx at all?

Nixion Strange said...

I still don't do hugging. Not into that whole scene.
Besides that, pretty good.
Yeah, TBA's a thing, isn't it? Lucky you, you make up a total 50% of our viewship. You're in an elite class Lav. I think we're due for another one soon, now I think about it. Just say the word if you want to be involved.

Lavender Hope said...

Oops, I mean Sparky.

And I guess I could just ask if you've heard from the 'old gang' at all recently.

Nixion Strange said...

I'll try to be on, but I've got myself into so much work I don't know when I'll be able to get on. Certainly not often.

Mist is alright, still finishing up school. Haven't talked to Eve or Lynx in a while unfortunately. I don't think I've ever talked to Soarky.

Lavender Hope said...

Maybe another time. I'm not sure if I'll be able to voice chat and WHAT WOULD I EVEN TALK ABOUT.

I actually haven't read the last three SP books... But your videos didn't spoil anything.

Lavender Hope said...

*nudges him playfully*
You know who I mean.

How IS your school life coming along? And what other things are you working on?

*whispers*
You guys completely stopped Nix and Mist... It was getting so interesting too!

Lavender Hope said...

But I understand that most of your time is already taken up. I wouldn't even be surprised if you dropped the project, but it was still interesting while you were writing it.

:)

Lavender Hope said...

Wow, I'm talking a lot...

Nixion Strange said...

School's over for the year. But next year is the be all and end all, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Other things. Hm... TBA, writing, several film projects, small articles for a makeshift newspaper, attempting to improve editing skills by making an AMV. There's more that I can't remember, which is startling because I can't work on them if I can't remember.

Nixion Strange said...

Nix and Mist. Yeah, there's a story behind that.
Essentially, we decided that investing our time into a fanfiction could be better spent making it an independent story with all the same chararacter. Just our own world.
Turns out making a world is incredibly difficult and transferring characters into different stories isn't a perfect art.

Lavender Hope said...

Wow, film projects and newspaper articles? Cool! :D

I'm already finished with school(yes!) and now I'm in Japan, visiting relatives and friends and working on music. I got a new guitar! And I've learned several songs already! :D

Lavender Hope said...

Good luck! I hope to read it someday when you've got the world down. :)

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You are both awesome :')

Nixion Strange said...

Ah, to be musically talented. Envy.

Any plans for any sort of career?

Lavender Hope said...

@Matex: Who, me?

Nah, I'm not that awesome.

*gestures to Nix*
HE'S awesome. :)

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Also don't let it get to you Nix, they make it seem like your last year is the be all end all but once you're out and doing what you want to do the time you spent in school seems insignificant.
Got plans for the year after?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Both of. You both share a lot of my interests haha.

Nixion Strange said...

I don't do modesty well. It's a colour that doesn't suit me.
So if you ensist, I won't deny how 'awesome' I am.

Year after... Nup, not a clue.
Still don't know if I want to be a psychologist or work in film.

Lavender Hope said...

I'm still working on that Dragon Keeper story, and if I recall right, you were really interested in that. I've done a lot with it, but still needs beta readers so I'm going to start posting it on my blog again. I'm HOPING to become a writer or musician someday, but until then, I'm just spending my time in Japan. Volunteering for things and all that.

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Matex, do you go to uni?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Yeah man, just finished my first year. Uni is soooo much better than high school!
Sounds cool. I wanted to do something with film originally but then I got into games and programming, heh.

Nixion Strange said...

What uni, if I may ask?

Lavender Hope said...

@Matex: Well, if it's shared interests, then I guess I AM awesome. ;P

*glares at the time*
I gotta go. It's been really great to see you, Nix. Good luck with all your projects and I hope to see you AND Mist(tell him to visit once in a while!) come on a little more!

Bye guys!
*waves at Nix, hugs everyone else*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*hugs Lav* yeah you are totally awesome! Sleep well.

Yeah you can ask haha, I'm at Swinburne :)

Nixion Strange said...

Nice seeing you Lav. Bye!

Swinburne huh? I know next to nothing about universities, but at least I've heard of it.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Fair enough! You'll probably learn plenty next year, if you plan on going (and even if you don't they'll probably still shove information down your throat - and rightfuly so). What subjects do you have for next year?

Jophiel said...

(Mr Strange, you ought to be asleep at this hour. It is... Rather early in the morning, is it not? That must not be any good for your health.)

Nixion Strange said...

Uh, Media, Literature, Psychology, English and Further.
If I was going to do film I'd aim to get into VCA, I know that. Probably wouldn't get in though.

Nixion Strange said...

It's just midnight, and I'm on holidays. No stress.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Niiccee!! I assume you'll do a film for your media project? And literature is good. I did it instead of English, because I couldn't stand that subject.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh and don't worry too much about getting in. I'd expect film is portfolio based rather than needing a good score, and either way if that's what you want you'll probably find a way, even if it's as simple as starting somewhere else and getting a diploma first or something.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Matex.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Hiya again Tia :)

Nixion Strange said...

Hey Tia.

Yeah, will be making a film towards the end of next year.
Yep, VCA doesn't have a required ATAR, it's entirely portfolio based. I'm fairly confident I'll have a good portfolio.

It is getting kinda late though. Might head out now. Nice talking, hopefully I'll be back in a reasonable timeframe.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Good bye, Nixion!

(Memories?)

Hello, Matex...

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh, sweet. I want to do music composition at VCA but they do have really high standards. I'll have to dedicate a year or two to practicing before I would have a hope of getting into it haha. Fair enough, was good talking to you! Sleep well.

Kokoda, Papua New Guinea - 1942

Philip: Why do you smile so much?

*The girl looked over to the man who had spoke, an Australian soldier with tightly cropped black hair and oddly warm green eyes. He was the only member of her troop who knew she was a woman. She had lied to get into the corps. She needed to fight. She could do more than any other man could, they were mortals- not Mages.

She smiled at Philip and gave him a very small wink*

I believe it's because I choose to be happy in times that I am actually scared. It takes my mind away from the fear.

*Philip wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug, but she pushed him away and continued marching. No public displays of affection. She could be put in front of a firing line for enlisting*

Philip: You don't need to be scared. I won't tell anyone. And this is only a routine walk through, anyway. Nothing we haven't done a thousand times. Do not be frightened, my l-

*Bullets rang out over head and both of them ducked, Philip protecting the girl with his own body*

Philip: MOVE! MOVE! NOW!

*She didn't need to be told twice. She raced for the nearest cover - a thick, fallen log with a slight depression from where it had once laid. She scooted into it and curled into a ball, awaiting Philip's presence.

She saw his boots from under the log as he leaped over. But instead of following her under the log, he stayed where he was.

She was about to call out to him but stopped when she heard something - or someone - kick the side of the log, the side the girl couldn't see.

Oh no.

Words in a foreign language were spoken. Philip didn't respond. The stranger's voice was sharp and angry and Philip's silence only made him worse.

She didn't realise what had happened until she saw those warm green eyes staring at her, blood gushing from a hole between them. His eyes seemed to stare into hers, willing her to be silent. To stay where she was.

Philip was dead*

(Memories, Danni, are you ok?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*sighs*

I guess everybody's sleeping.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

On the contrary I think most everyone is in school.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sad. :/

How are you?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

“Malin, Morgan, the snakes are gearing up not because they know what we’re doing but because Hardrad finally got that message and he’s anticipating trouble after he arrests me. He’s expecting me to show up at ISS headquarters in half an hour.”

Morgan sounded like she was almost choking with mirth. “Oh, yeah. We’ll all be knocking on that door in half an hour. Boom, boom, baby.”

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I am sad when my friends are sad.

Yeah...

:c

Happy Christmas!

*starts with red and green fairy lights, made of actual fairies*
*adds a lot of shiny little gold bulbs*

*then adds other ornaments*
*a bubble, a coffin, angel wings, a green dragon, a lollipop, a firecracker, some snowflakes, a plastic shark, a banana, a sapphire, a glowing black stone, a golden lightning bolt, a glittery emerald, and many others besides*

*stands back to admire handiwork*

*finally, put a silver angel atop the tree*
*the angel is wearing a trench coat and a mystified expression*
