And The Award Goes To...

The Irish Book Awards were held last night in Dublin and the last Artemis Fowl book beat out KOTW to emerge triumphant, giving Eoin Colfer a much deserved win. He went on the make the funniest speech of the evening while wearing the most dashing cravat I've ever seen on a real life person. Big congratulations to Eoin.

A few other people also won for, like, other categories- including Katie Taylor in the Best Sports Book. I really really really wanted to meet her and she was RIGHT THERE in front of me but then I was called away for a photo, and then there were a few people who wanted napkins signed, and when I looked around again she was gone. Dammit. I always thought she looked so petite on screen, but in person she is physically IMPRESSIVE. Here she is with Cecelia Ahern- one of my top two favourite writer-type-people that I know.


It was a fun night- it always is- but very well behaved and restrained when compared to last year. Ah, last year... what fond, fond memories I have...

My editor Nick came over for it, so we were chatting about the Tanith novella and he reckons it needs only the barest of edits. What does that mean for you guys? It basically means it'll stay at around the 54,000 word mark and I won't have to cut anything out. Apart from, apparently, all those mentions of Tanith in a bikini. I sincerely don't see the problem. It's not like I have her running around nekkid or anything.

Ooh, maybe I should...

@Adra: SIGNED??????????????????????


So, my first thought was "SIGNED?????????????????????? *glares* *envy*"

and my second thought was "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! *bounciness*"

And my third thought was "OH GOSH SHE BETTER LIKE IT NOW ARGHHHHHH. *hides* *under a rock* *that isn't Eve* *and doesn't come out again ever*"

You know when people read your writing and you get really nervous because it's really bad? Well, it sort of feels like that, except it's not yours and you're hoping it's as good as you said/thought it was. It's like when I rant about something really good and then stress in case it isn't actually as good as I thought it was.

Hmm. I'm over-analysing now. :P

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Pop me an email and tell me if Mycroft dies... if you watch it, that is. I won't be able to watch it for twelve hours or something probably and I need to know NOW☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Okay, probably not NOW, because I don't have the time or the energy to celebrate/grieve properly.☂

Noelle said...

Yeah Star:)

Hey Ember, Mara, Zaf!

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

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂Skulpedia is impossible for me, Zaf. I've never been able to work the stupid thing.☂

Star Inkbright said...

@Ember: But that will be a SPOILER, and then the episode won't give you the full effect! You can only watch something for the first time ONCE. It is a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME experience. For me to ruin that . . .

I managed to edit the page for the American Sanctuary and make it so I'm the current Grand Mage which it was showing Bisahalani as the current (heh he dead man I killed him) but I cant figure out how to make a bio on me as I have information to add I just cant link myself to a new article...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☂No, I didn't. It hasn't come out yet in Singapore, and in Austria KOTW hasn't even come out yet (but I've read it, of course.)☂

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Bai Ember!

*lays in snow* Coco..? No Coco is god knows where

Noelle said...

Ah Jesus, do I feel ill.

But I got the Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, the first Mistborn book, and a romance novel that I know is meant for shallow people (not all, but... Ah, you know what I mean.).

Yeah
Good day.

Book of Mormon tonight!!

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

Cool.

Snow said...

Hullo..?

Noelle said...

Ah I'm going to have to go in an hour..

I actually should do my Latin, shouldn't I?

Noelle said...

Hello, Snow!

Snow said...

...

wbd, but hey.

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

Yeah I would Adra.

*is quietly sitting bored*

Noelle said...

Ellipsis? What's that for?

Snow said...

Idk. I was bored

Noelle said...

Ah, alright then

Zaf, I was referring to the "..." That Snow made. Usually someone, unless that someone is Sir, does an ellipsis as a passive-aggressive note, or if at alias for words. So I was wondering if there was a reason to why she might have been upset, but she has made it clear that there isn't.

Ta da

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

Oh alirght

Sir said...

And what is that supposed to mean, Ms. Dark?

Noelle said...

You use an ellipsis a lot, Sir, but you've said its because you think before you speak. So that's why I excluded you from the explanation.

Nice timing, by the way

Sir said...

Quite.

Noelle said...

*a loss

Snow said...

I swear, you say "sir" or "trip" and they just appear...

Noelle said...

And I'll make you at shirt sometime that says "Quite", "Indeed", "...", and "Mr. & Ms. ________" on it.

Noelle said...

Not Trip. He hasn't been on in a few days.

What can I say? I'm a psychic

Sir said...

Perhaps, Ms. Dark.

Noelle said...

I'll put "Perhaps" on there as well.

Snow said...

Hmmm

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

Haha.

Sir said...

If you insist, Ms. Dark.

Snow said...

( ._.) (._. )

Noelle said...

I do, Sir. I really do.

Snow?

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf@ SHERLOCK IS FANTASTIC.

YOU NEED TO WATCH IT.

ONE OF THE BEST TV SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

Mum a few days ago: Well, everything we watch is going to pale in comparison to Merlin now, isn't it . . .
Dad: Well, except for Sherlock.

THERE ARE OTHER FANTASTIC SHOWS.
BUT SHERLOCK IS FANTASTIC.
AND YES.
:)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Zathract warned me a few hours ago

I WOULD WATCH IT RIGHT NOW IF I WERENT GOING TO THE BOOK OF MORMON

Star Inkbright said...

(Um, that wasn't me reacting to the episode. That was me reacting to Sherlock in general. My reaction would have been pretty much the same had I not just watched that episode.)

@Adra: :/

#ChaseForBooKnine

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

I don't think I'll watch it simply because I do not like anything with Sherlock Holmes as it simply irriates me and sends my skin itching with irritation. But eh its cool for you if you like it

Snow said...

*sits in shadows* I'm using my birthday money to buy tea. Mums takkng me to this amazing tea place in town :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: That is so stereotypical. That's like saying you don't like anything historical, or like saying you don't like anything set in the future. We've had lots of different movies about the future in LOADS of different genres, and just because you watched a few that you didn't like . . .
And it depends how historical things are set. Sometimes they can all be speaking in old English or whatever, and that might put you off. But then you have things like Merlin (which is sort of historical ish? I'M JUST USING MY BEST EXAMPLE) when it's just one of the most fabulous things you have ever watched, and like . . . yeah. *shuffles*

(Not mad at you. Sort of debating here. :))

Just out of interest, what don't you like about Sherlock Holmes? Because I find that a psychopath - sorry, high-functioning sociopath - is a rather interesting character to have. Then again, I always thing the insane characters are the best; but you like Niccolò and you made your own character a tad insane to make her interesting - you like insane characters too, don't you?

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Cool!

Noelle said...

Ooh! What kind, Snow?

Also- I'm certain that high heels should be a medieval torture device.

Except not medieval
Kinda

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs*
A medieval-style torture device?

@Zaf: Plus, it's really cool you're letting us enjoy it when you don't like it. :)

(Once again - not mad.)

@Snow: Yay! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

I just don't find Sherlock Holmes interesting at all. I just don't, I fall asleep I mean I tried and fell asleep bored so I hardly think it was worth it to even watch.

Snow said...

I dont know yet. I know they've got some amazing chai. Might see what herbal they have.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: Fair enough. :) :)

And, I should probably go to sleep now, beacsue school tomorrow and blerghhhhh . . . -_-

*leaves*

#ChaseForBooknine

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

If you like it go fangirl I'm not gonna stop you but I'm still here

Noelle said...

Nice point, Star :P

Actually

Really nice point. Sherlock and Niccolò are really similar, except Niccolò broods a bit more.

I think you should just try an episode, Zaf. Then make a decision. I don't think it would be fair to class everything Sherlock in the same category just because of -what I'm guessing- one bad experience.

And anyway, Moffat helps write. And you like Doctor Who, and he writes some of that, too.

Snow said...

Byeee starrr

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

Night Star

Noelle said...

Bye Star!

Chai is good... Again, my fav is peppermint. You should try it sometime! It's good!

Snow said...

I love peppermint tea. :)

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

I did watch an episode and fell asleep simply because I was bored, I came to the conclusion I wasted an hour and a half. I like Doctor Who. But Sherlock I ceased to see how anyone can like it. But hey if people like it who am I to say don't?

Noelle said...

It's the best :P

*Shrug* I can see where you're coming from. Then again, the first half hour of that episode was simply meant to introduce the characters. So it's only natural that it's a bit slower.
(I personally didn't care for the entire second episode, so I see what you mean)

But I think that, if you were to stick with it until season two, you would like it. Season two was really good, and I'm sure you would adore it.

Do what you wish, though. It isn't like we could force you to watch it :)

Noelle said...

" it's the best", being, peppermint tea

Snow said...

G2g, bye *hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Moffat writes one third of the episodes. :)

One episode each season.

Mark Gatiss writes one, and whatshisname writes another.

Just out of interest, Moffat wrote the last episode on this season, the one I've seen and you haven't . . . :)

@Zaf: I like it because - awesome characters (high-functioning sociopath, COME ON. Plus the others are great tooooo. :) Don't make me detail it), and they have really good relationships, and the plotlines are incredibly well-done (Moffat writes a third of the episodes. :P And the others are good matches for him, put it that way :)) and have lots of unexpected twists, and . . . it's really clever (like, really) and funny and, you know, THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS and also THE WAY SHERLOCK THINKS (the words on the screen, the memory palace).

"Shut up."
"I didn't say anything!"
"You're thinking. It's annoying."

Sorry, I should stop ranting now. :)

#ChaseForBooknine

Star Inkbright said...

*um, you asked . . . I was explaining. :/

#ChaseForBooknine

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

Eh maybe but I got so bored....I dont need a waste of almost 2hrs and I cant even find where I watched the episode i just omitted it from memory thats how bad it was

Noelle said...

DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT EPISODE TO ME

I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

ALREADY.

HOLD ME

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

Jeez msd parents arguing again.

Noelle said...

Lol no the Percy Jackson movies were a waste of time.
I think you would be fine with it. And only one third of the episode, too. It's like..

What if someone was reading SP, and only got fifty pages in and decided it wasn't worth their time? Especially if it were a good friend of yours. Would you not say "hey, keep going, you don't even know what happens!"?

That's kinda how it's like :P

Noelle said...

But yeah..

Aye

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

I had that happen and its just yrah it sucks but people have their own opinion

Noelle said...

C'est la vie
I probably spelled that incorrectly

Noelle said...

God damn high heels..

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

Zaffy confused

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

Why are you in- oh play. I'm going sometime May-June to see Les Miserables.

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

Argh I wanna see if Helena Bonham Carter is at the Golden Globes and god damn it there is football on! Baaah! The funny thjng is she's 5'2 I'm 5'1 and well Nikki was like....damn she is short and Tim Burton is 6'0 which is funny to me so Nel (i think is her daughter's name) and Billy will either be extremely short or tall. Poor kids. We joked that it wouldbe so weird in school when a kid sees Harry Potter and sees Bellatrix. Omg....I'd be scared. At a young age you could believe anything.

Noelle said...

Johnny Depp kills Helena in almost every movie they're in.

Putting them together is just a long drawn out way of asking for a three way, I'd bet

Emerald Melody said...

Or the fact that Tim Burton possibly wants Johnny Depp and thats why he always gets Johnny to kill Helena...

Just a thought

Noelle said...

I ship it

Burdepp

Noelle said...

And I'm seeing Les Mis up there too.

Man

MAN

Noelle said...

No, but I'm seeing Wicked on my birthday, and Phantom in April or May and *screeeee*

Noelle said...

Ah. I have to go. Bye you lot! See you at the intermission

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

Burdep......

Noelle said...

They have advertisements for the Book of Mormon in the playbill

Why

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

I dunno

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

NEW POST

Noelle said...

And here we are...

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

So bets on how long til a new post is made?

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald opened her eyes. The bedroom was dark and she was alone. He was all she was thinking and dreaming about all night. What was it, was it obsession? Either way she had to find out what he was to her. She got up off the bed and put on her slippers and dressing gown. She quietly opened the door and peeked out to check if the corridors were clear*

-

*Lorcan sat up quickly, taking short and rapid breaths. That was the weirdest dream ever. He looked down at his hands. They were covered in silver from his finger to his wrist. It was fascinating to look at. It didn't seem like a liquid for but more of a shield like substance. He touched his left palm and the silver parted to show his skin underneath. He smiled.*

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

Alexis: *blinks waking up* Lorcan? *mutters* I forgot to put pants on....oops.

(Why did you delete that Fabi? I liked it!)

*Lorcan smiled as the silver started to vanish off his hands*

Lorcan: I'm sorry if I woke you up baby.

(Did you say that in the roleplay Adra or in general??)

Noelle said...

That was in general. I got the vibe you wanted her to be alone, and so it shall be.

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

Alexis: relax I'm cool with it. It felt nice to sleep beside you

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

I dedicate this page to my gerbils. Coco and Snowball because they are so cute and fun to play with and Coco is on my lap as I type

And to all our pets

Emerald Melody said...

(Oh okay, well hello sweetie. Is everything okay??)

*She sees that no one seems to be around. She gently closes the door again and keeps the room dark. She doesn't know why but then she gets an idea.*

Emerald: *raspy whisper* I'm alone. I'm here. Are you?

-

Lorcan: *smiles* Yeah that was such a good feeling, I have never had such a good nights sleep before.

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

Alexis: glad you did have a good night sleep *sits up hugging*

Noelle said...

I'm finding myself to be speaking with a rather curt tone.
Which, added, doesn't pertain to anything you or anyone otherwise has said.
-
*Adra shuts her laptop*
Fifty alchemists left alive.
Five-hundred deceased, no chance of revival.
*Sets her head on the table*

Emerald Melody said...

*The lights around Adra and her laptop flicker slightly*

Deacon: Well hello there.

*Emerald turns around to see Deacon sitting on the bed.*

Emerald: It's you.

Deacon: Of course it's me. You're looking well for someone who's getting used to life again my dear.

Emerald: I need to know, am I in love with you?

Deacon: *smiles* You could be.

-

*Lorcan gets up out of the bed and pulls on his jeans. He goes hunting for his bathroom stuff in his bag*

Lorcan: Do you think your mam and Ravel are back yet?

Noelle said...

*Unfortunately, however, Adra does not take particular notice to the lights, as her eyes remain closed*

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

Alexis: *slips on her sweat pants and shrugs* Probably. *goes out into the kitchen and sees her mother's robes on the chair and her room locked* *goes back to Lorcan* I think they went out again

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

((I didn't want to bother you all, but if you want me to, I can post it again.))

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

(Em i gotta do gerbils

Noelle said...

If you want, Fabi, and I'll read it.

Emerald Melody said...

(Its up to you Fabi, but I really liked it.

Are you not up for roleplaying today Ads, if you're not thats okay.*


*Deacon pats the bed beside him*

Deacon: Come, sit. You must be near exploding with questions.

*Emerald sits down beside him and feels that connection again, she wonders if it's something artificial.*

Emerald: You said that I was missing a part of me. What was that part.

Deacon: Its an extremely precious part of you. You were born with it and it was taken away from you by rotten forces. But it can be giving back, but not only that, I can give you a bit extra. And added bonuses.

Emerald: Like magic?

Deacon: Oh much more than magic my dear.

-

*Lorcan walks out with a mouth full of toothpaste and him furiously brushing his teeth.*

Lorcan: It'll come to a shock when they finally realise that I'm here.

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

((There.))

If I 'don't care,' why am I in tears? It would be so much easier if I didn't care. I'm sorry I don't speak the same language as you sometimes. I'm sorry my brain is wired differently than yours. When you say you want me to care, what kind of response do you want/expect? Do you think that raised tones are the best way to invoke 'caring'? Do you see now why I don't 'trust you'? Do you see why I'm practically scared of you? Do you know how loud your voice is? Do you know how easy it is for you to put emotions in it? Do you know how when you're angry, it squashes something inside me, and makes me feel like a failure, and that's what makes me feel tense/stressed/like I've been hit by a bus. So go on, then. Tell me I don't care. I wish I didn't care. It'd be so much easier when I fail to live up to your expectations.

Noelle said...

If you wish.
-
*She lifts her head, briefly wiping her eyes, then notices the lights flickering*
*Moves towards the door, drawing symbols on her arms that will protect her from Deacon, and buttons up her coat with an assortment of weapons inside of it, with which she will wear when she finds that bitch who drugged Trip*
*Ascends the stairs*

Noelle said...

That was very good, Fabi. It, similar to some other writings that you have made, was very raw to me, and there was a hint of desperation in there that really connected with me, as a reader. I liked how you made it in the "question" style as well.
It was just really good.

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald thought it all sounded fascinating but would it be all he was making it out to be.*

Emerald: And if I let you give me back this part that's missing?

Deacon: You won't regret it my dear.

Emerald: Okay then...

*Deacon gets up from the bed and walks deeper into the shadowy room. Emerald can't even make him out until she hears a growling sound coming from behind her. She stands and turns just as shadows shoot out and bind her arms and legs. Suddenly Deacon pounces onto her in full wolf form and bites into her shoulder and collarbone. Emerald screams*

-

*Lorcan went back into the bathroom and spat out his toothpaste. He then came back in and started to comb his hair. But his comb bent itself when it tried to comb through his silver hair. Lorcan swore*

Noelle said...

*The hairs on Adra's arms stand up as she hears the scream, and sprints for Emerald's room and, with one solid and steady strike, kicks the door in, swinging her sabre at Deacon*

Emerald Melody said...

*Deacon jumps back, growling at Adra. Emerald starts spasming on the floor as the darkness and the shadows start to combine with the lycanthropy gene.
The wolf snarls as he evaporates into the shadows. He can do nothing but wait until Emerald's transformation begins.*

Noelle said...

*Tosses her sword aside and jumps to the floor by Emerald, looking at the wound*
Son of a...
*Pulls her bag by her, and begins to make a concoction out of a multitude of ingredients*

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald's spasms start to subside slightly as black bubbles start to pour out of her mouth. Her blood seeping from the wound was turning black as it hit the floor.*

Noelle said...

*She stumbles, getting to her feet, and backing up*
*Without thinking, she has a gun pointed at Emerald, ready to fire*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Heyllo! How are y'all?

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald starts coughing, spitting up more of the black bubbles. She starts taking big breaths as she groans. She cries out again as she remembers that she has a huge bite mark on her shoulder.*

Noelle said...

Hello, Rhy!
-
*Her hand remains perfectly still on the trigger, her other hand resting on her belly*
*Like hell she's letting her get any closer*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey Adra! How are you? What's going on atm?

Noelle said...

I'm alright, yourself? :)
And Em is currently transformitizizizing into a werewolf.

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald gasps. There was a burning sensation coming from the bite mark. It really was hurting her.*

Emerald: He bit me... why did he bite me?... I thought he...

*She cries out again*

Noelle said...

And there goes the conversation.
*Waves to the comment thread as it falls down into the impenetrable darkness that is an amalgamation of all of our inevitable dooms*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*kicks Adra*

Noelle said...

Oi.
Don't kick me.
I had fun writing that

Star Inkbright said...

HEY! :)

#ChaseForBooKNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*bites her*

It looks like it.

Noelle said...

Hello, Star.
*Swats at Mara with a fan of feathers* Shoo.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey Star! How are you?

Emerald Melody said...

(Sorry was just putting the tiny human to bed.)

*Emerald stops spasming and looks up at the ceiling. She doesn't make a sound. All that can be seen is the slight rise and fall from her chest.

Suddenly the wound starts closing itself up and vanishes as if it was never there. And Emerald returns to the unnatural grey colour she was when she first arrived.*

Noelle said...

Wb, Em.
-
*Frowns, but doesn't move, however taking a step closer*
Em.
Em did you die again.

Star Inkbright said...

Em, this roleplay of yours is awesome. :)

I'm okay, Rhydian. :) Tired. -_-
You?

#ChaseForBookNine

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald shakes her head slowly. She then looks at Adra and half smiles*

Emerald: *raspy* I just fell of the bed. I had a nightmare about him.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey Em! How's things?

I'm fine Starry. Tired

Noelle said...

*She tucks her gun away*
So it seems. I've had that happen before- ghastly things. Do you need help getting up?

Noelle said...

*Is tired as well*
*Everyone apparently is*

Emerald Melody said...

Emerald: Yes please, but please be careful of yourself.

(Hey Rhyds!!!!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I was about to say the same. :)

*murders tiredness to stop it plaguing all of us* *realises that tiredness doesn't work like that* *MEH*

Star Inkbright said...

ALSO -

I'm restarting that 16x16 Sudoku AGAIN.

IT'S TAKING ME SO LONG I SWEAR. D:

#ChaseForBookNien

Noelle said...

*Adra moves towards her and, in one move, picks her up and sets her on her bed*
Now. Uhm..
I have some things to attend to.
Just- stay here and rest.
I have to look for someone..

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now. NIGHT ALL!!!!!

Noelle said...

Goodnight, Rhy1

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

Hello again. :-)

I have too many good ideas, and none of them are coming out right.

Also, I just found the ingredients list for these bars that Mom likes to call brownies.

8 Pitted Dates
1 Cup Raw Cashews
1 Cup Raw Almonds
¾ Cup Raw Walnuts
¼ Cup Unsweetened Cocoa
½ tsp. salt
½ Cup Agave Syrup
1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
½ Cup Blanched Almond Flour or Rice Protein

...

Brownies. Right. I'm sticking to my favorite recipes, thank you very much. :-P

Here for a bit, but I have so much to do, so idk how long.

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald nods as she watches Adra leave*

Noelle said...

I think I would be up for eating that, Fabi..
-
*She romps down the staircase, and looks around shiftily, as if expecting Deacon to pop out any moment*
*What she is about to do is both incredibly stupid and dangerous, but at the same time, has a 50% chance of not working*
*Slips outside and into the woods, walking along a path*

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

They're good as a healthy snack, not a brownie, in my opinion, but whatever!

Wbd, accomplishing things! :-)

Noelle said...

Ah, brownies mean chocolate.
Lots of it.



Brownies are my favorite treat. I love them over ice cream and cake and pie, etc..

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

Brownies were the first thing I learned how to bake (not counting the "cupcakes" I made in preschool. Those were disgusting! XD) :-)

Noelle said...

I don't recall the first thing I knew how to bake.
Just that I want to get a car already so I can go to the store and get the things I want but I ENVER CANN SDFLJBVLSHBVSUHBVSKJHDVBSDKJVHSDVJKSDJVHSDUJHBVSDVHKLBVDSLJHSDBSJHVBSDJKLVHBSKLDJHBVSDUJLHBVSJKLDHBVSKLDJHBV

*She finds a small clearing and stops in it*
*Clears her throat*
Deacon-n-n-n-n

Emerald Melody said...

*A cold breeze blows from behind her and Deacon steps out from the shadowed woods in front of her.*

Deacon: *smiles* You rang, my dear?

Noelle said...

Ya, I did. Look what I did, I was calling.

Quick question- what do you want with Em?

Emerald Melody said...

Deacon: What DON'T I want with Em? There has always been something in her that I've liked. Something that she is just holding back. I want to find it and... Let it out.

Noelle said...

*She makes a face* You're a creep.
