KOTW Paperback

Laydeeeez an' gentleminions, I present to you, the KOTW paperback cover.


And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.

Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?

To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.

Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...

EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT

Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

*goes back to the table and sits down, bored*

((Ez: @Taia: I would prefer Ezmeralda, but Ez is fine. *shrugs, smiling*

@Snow: Okay. *laughs* That sounds fun.

Me and Hunter may have to go now . . . Star needs to go to sleep, unfortunately.
Hunter: *explains* She's human.))

*sits and dunks her feet into the water*
*lay's back with her hands on her stomach thinking*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*walks up to Chione, his arms wide, suit a little tattered*

Congratulations!

Mary Contrary said...

Hi, Trip! :)

(Okay, DRagona)

@Ez: *nods* I'll try to remember that, then. :)

@Snow: *nods* Thank you. :) *ponders*

Chione Asahina said...

*smiles, gets back up and hugs trip* Thank you. Adra was here earlier...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey Taia, how are you?

John said...

*Rises up out of the shadow underneath Trip and Chio and slowly pushes them apart as he rises*

No no Trip, mine.

*Shoots him a little smirk and kisses Chio*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh. I guess it was lucky I wasn't. I wouldn't have wanted that whole situation to spill over into your wedding.

I'm sorry I missed the ceremony, but something came up. Something explodey.

Chione Asahina said...

Blake *shakes her head, still smiling*
*kisses him back*

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

*watches whats going on*

Ravel: *takes her hand* Zaf, you can dance with me.

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

*closes her eyes and smiles*
*relaxes on the grass*

Chione Asahina said...

*walks over to Zafira and Ravel*
Glad you guys could make it. Where are the kids?

Mary Contrary said...

I'm good, thanks, Trip! :)
I think I failed my Welsh exam today, but it was sort of in good spirits. :P And I have been drawing Star Trek related things, which has been nice, and Chi and Blake's wedding, which has been lovely, of course. :3 So, good. :)
How're you? :)

Oh. Damn. Gotta go. Maybe BRB but maybe not, idk. If not is the case, Chione and Blake, congratulations.

Chione Asahina said...

((Ok Taia! bye if you're leaving *hugs*))

Noelle said...

*She's come back, effectively calmed down* *Is only back because it was rude of her to not show up and wish Chione and Blake congratulations*
*Waits to exchange a word with them*

John said...

*From right next to Silente, having silently risen out of her shadow*

Boo.

What are you doing out here? The party's inside.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh I'm fine thanks Taia.

Well in all honesty, I don't think people will mind too much if you have no qualifications in welsh. Less people speak welsh than live in London, so it won't effect your chances of employment massively.

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

*watches Silente from the woods*
*walks over to her silently*
*says in a deepish voice*
My my Silente my dear. You've become a good person again. Such a shame I can't allow that.
*makes a bubble of shadows around her*
*they pick her up and silence any noise she makes*
Let's get you retrained shall we.
*walks off silently laughing*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Okay then. *spots Adra*

*leaps over the bar and hides. Wonders where Silente is*

John said...

*Looks rather confused at the strange man who took Silente away*
...

Hey wait a second!!

*Runs after him*

Noelle said...

*Feels Blake running away, and figures Chione will be following him soon enough* *Removes the brake on her wheelchair, situating herself in the event she has to move away*

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

*turns*
Ah. Congratulations on the wedding. I'm sure you'll be happy for as long as either of you lives. Good bye Sir.
*continues walking away the bubble of shadows dragging along the ground*

John said...

Yeano.

*A tendril of darkness grabs the man's arm, holding him tightly*

You're not going anywhere with Silente.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*his hand reaches up to the bar and grabs a bottle of wine*

Good a time as any. *takes a swig*

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

Alexis has Christopher and Olivia...and Aro...Aro's with them.

((Blake- I didn't cure him but so I can have him at the wedding I placed my rp on pause so right now he can see.))

Dragona Pine said...

*gets to her feet, drawing a pistol*

*runs to where Blake is stood, pointing her pistol at the man*

Freeze motherfucker.

Dragona Pine said...

*gets to her feet, drawing a pistol*

*runs to where Blake is stood, pointing her pistol at the man*

Freeze motherfucker.

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

*looks at the tendril of darkness*
I'm simply taking her for a day or so. I'll return her then.
*the tendril dissolves under his glare*
Good bye
*walks off bubble following him*

Noelle said...

*Sighs, and rolls herself over to Chione's seat, and leaves a note for her, wishing her congratulations* * Wipes her eyes, and feels around tentatively, rolling for the side door* *Ends up hitting a wall, smacking her head* *Rubs it* Damn...

John said...

*Clones rise from darkness all around the man*

I think you misunderstood me. I'm getting a very bad feeling from you and what you said about Silente. You. Are going. Nowhere.

Dragona Pine said...

*raises hand at the man which glows blue with energy*

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

Alexis: Good god, can we ever have a notmal celebration?

Aro: When do we ever? We're Blogland.

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

Please gentlemen I simply wish to be on my way. I mean you no harm.
*glares at the clones*
*they too dissolve*

Noelle said...

*Listens to the others carefully, gauging where they're standing by their energy against the ground* *Backs out from the wall, running her hand along the wall to try to find the door* *She can't*

Mary Contrary said...

Back, but only to say that I'm not back. :P

@Trip: *nods* I know. Thank you. :)

*hugs everyone*
Bye!

John said...

"My my Silente my dear. You've become a good person again. Such a shame I can't allow that."

I don't like the idea of anyone who says that to have hold of Silente. Drop her now, or I'm going to mean you quite a bit of harm.

Dragona Pine said...

*glares at Trip briefly*

*suspends the man in the air*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*takes Adra's wheelchair, and wheels her to the door*

...

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

*sighs*
*shadows drag him back to the ground*
Blake do you really want to fight on your wedding night? I have no business with you here.
*the bubble keeps on going ahead*

Dragona Pine said...

*fires her pistol at the man and launches a shockwave of energy at him*

John said...

You've made business with me by attempting to take my friend.

*He propels himself forward with shadows and aims a punch at the man's face*

Noelle said...

*Jumps, confused, and reaches back with one hand, and her fingers brush against his* *Doesn't freeze, just holds it for a second, then puts it back on her arm rest*

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

*a wave of shadows rises up to protect the man from Blake, the bullets and the shockwave*
Yes. As much fun as this would be i'm afraid I simply haven't the time. She'll be returned to you within a week. So long.
*shadow walks him and the bubble away*
*leaving only a chuckle behind*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*Holds her hand, but lets her take it back*Have a nice night, Adra. *walks off in search of Chione*

Dragona Pine said...

Shit.

*holsters her pistol, and begins walking back to the wedding*

Noelle said...

Thank you... *Wheels off, wiping her eyes the whole way back*

Dragona Pine said...

Shit.

*holsters her pistol, and begins walking back to the wedding*

John said...

*He tears through the wall, prepared to attack the man but finds nothing*

Damn it...

John said...

When he said it'd be fun I do hope he meant fun for me... I dislike it when people think they can somehow beat me... Especially cowards who run at the first attack.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*continues to look around*

Where could she be?

Dragona Pine said...

*glares at Trip as she walks past*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

hola

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

*all the while inside the bubble she was screaming, seeing only black and hearing nothing*
*shaking from fear as well as from the past events that haunted her*
*she knows what's coming. She knows who he is. But she doesn't want to change back to a heartless monster in a girl's skin*
*but she knows that if he's caught her, its already too late*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hello Mara! How are things? *hugs*

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

((and good night people! I sleep now! Well i probably won't, I'm not even slightly tired. But still, I should try at least. Night!))

John said...

*Sinks into his shadow, searching the reverse world for Silente and the man*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

((G'night!))

Dragona Pine said...

(I have to go now. Night!)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

not that well *hugs back* how about you?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Night!)

Oh, fine, fine. What's wrong?

John said...

Welp, Blake's gonna go now. Goodbye everyone and thank you for coming to the wedding!

Anonymous said...

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!!! Hi Blake!!!! Hi Chi!!!! Congratulations!!!! I'm /so/ sorry I couldn't come!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

I might be distant but I had to stop by and say congratulations! I also went back and read all the comments.

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

Okay so I had to go out for some reason.


Then I missed the wedding because: I just finished a lit crit that my teacher decided to give us one night to type the final draft. Okay, one damn night. This is not okay. That was cruel.

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

*looks down at arms, and sighs, remembering the night the shadows became her skin*


December

*sits staring out window* Javier, you swear this will work?

Javier: Zafira, I swear over my life, it will. You inject the Nightlock and blood into your own blood, and bam.

I trust you.

Javier: give me your arm.

*does so*

Javier: *injects the mixture, and watches her*

Jekyll: *realizes what happened* You could kill her!!

Javier: Kill her? I will not.

Jekyll: Do you-

*falls to knees bent over, face strained* Make...stop....*collapses*

*Sees black and then, an icy cold pain, like fire only icy*

Jekyll: You. Idiot. *checks her pulse* She's alive...

Javier: Told you.

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

*A day later*

*opens eyes, and cries out, feeling shadows under my skin* What...oh god.

Jekyll: Are you feeling alright?

I am.

Javier: It worked!

Jekyll: Explain.

Javier: I basically made the shadows her skin, when she fights, her shadows will come out stronger, and when someone touches her, they will feel the wrath.

Jekyll: You are insane.

Javier: I am. It worked.

I'm right here!!

Greetings.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Are you still here, Miss Stormberg?

...Do you have any more confectionaries?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

My sincere apologies for missing the wedding. Please give my blessings to the happy couple.

Snow said...

I am here.

*hands Mycroft a bag of purple carrots*

*nods approvingly* better for you.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*frowns*

...Thank you...

Snow said...

*nods*

((*gives Ember jelly babies*))

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

((YEEEEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHH))

That's not--Alright. Well. I suppose I'll just have to *steals the jelly babies and runs away*

((OY!))

Snow said...

*shakes head at Mycroft*

*gives Ember a second bag of jelly babies*

I would have given him some if he ate a carrot.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

...Are you implying that you have another bag of candies somewhere?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

And where would that be?

Snow said...

*crosses arms and smiles* not telling

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*smiles* No matter. I'm sure I'll be able to find it without your assistance.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

((*noms on jelly babies* Where is it?))

Snow said...

Not likely.

Snow said...

((Nope. He can hear. Mycroft has the ability to hear through brackets. Even double ones))

Snow said...

Sorry ember, g2g.

Bye.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

((Holy shit.))

(((what about italics and triple brackets)))

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Mémoire Perdue said...

*Her fingers trail along the worn ivory keys and she looks towards a masked man, clad in dark brown leather, standing to her left, peering over her shoulder* Do you think this would fit in my apartment? It is a bit big, don't you think? *She stands up and looks at the shop keeper* Mind if I play?

*The shop keeper grins and shakes his head. Her a thick New Zealand accent* Go ahead, sweetheart.

*She thanks him and starts to play Oriental Fantasy. Her fingers flew over the ancient piano as they picked out the notes easily. The masked man smirked behind his mask and the shop keeper's jaw hit the ground. She continues to play until her fingers start to bleed. By this time, a small crowd has gathered around her, some with their camera phones out, some gawking at the blue eyed heron girl. She stands up and bows. The masked man smiles and leans his head in close so that his voice can be heard over the cacophony of sound that rushed to fill in the unwanted silence*
You never said you could play...

*Blue grinned at him* You never said you liked music. *She turned to the shop keeper and nodded* I think I'll take this one.

Snow said...

My brother doesn't understand the message behind a lot of songs. I guess in that way, he's a lot like other people.

But... I can always fine the meaning of a song. I dont just hear the words like others. I listen to them. And though that sounds the same, it's not. Hear and listening are two gery different things.

I wish some people wouldn't just jump to conclusions about songs. Like A Team. Everyone says thats about a prostitute. But it's not. Its about a girl struggling with things, having to resort to awful things to earn money. About a girl addicted to drugs and suffering but still needed them and finding a way to get them. It's about how hard life is.

...

sorry.

Dragona Pine said...

Hello.

Mémoire Perdue said...

*The masked man sat beside Blue with his hands under hers. Her hands pulled his along as she taught him how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb, a classic*
No. Not that one.
*She pressed down on his third finger of his right hand and the right key was played*
See? Easy! Now do it again for me.
*The man bit his lip and replayed the melody as best as he could. It was very slow, and jagged, yet beautiful... Even though no right keys were played*
Close but no cigar. Here, we'll try again!
*She pulled his hands along with hers again, smiling and humming to the sound of the ancient piano*

Mémoire Perdue said...

Hello Dragona, nice to meet you!

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Blue Eyes! Nice to meet you, too. I'm Dragona. *gives cookie*

Oh, and, just to point it out - I'm a boy. Despite the 'a' and the fact the character I use on here is currently a girl. People tend to get confused and stuff.)

Mémoire Perdue said...

((Your profile does clearly state that your male... Why don't people check that before they assume genders? Something that always puzzled me.
*Takes the cookie shyly* Thanks!))

Dragona Pine said...

(I have no idea why they don't check - it confused me too. It happens less nowadays but it used to happen a lot :P

So - I assume calling you Blue or Eyes would be fine rather than calling you Blue Eyes every time I type your name? ^^)

Mémoire Perdue said...

(Just call me Blue. Or Chase. My real name is Chase. Like, my given name.

Is it fine if I call you Dragona? Or do you prefer something else?))

Dragona Pine said...

(Dragona is fine, yep. ^^


I was kind of wondering if ANYONE would be on. I WAS on study leave beforehand because I had some AS level exams - which I now have finished - so I'm just at home and yeah. It's an odd time :P)

Mémoire Perdue said...

(Sorry... I think I might go to sleep now... Good night!)

Dragona Pine said...

(Night! - well, afternoon for me but night for you! ^^)

Luciana said...

... Wow, we really need a new post. O_O

We're so far back D:

Dragona Pine said...

I know! It's crazy. Adra linked us to it on the previous post but it appeared all big and looked weird so I had to find it manually :P

Luciana said...

I had to scroll back so far it's not even funny.


I could have spent that time writing adorable Lucharia fluff!

... Or murder.


Or both...

Dragona Pine said...

(I DID tell you what post we were on - you could have gone to the thing on the side and gone to "2012" then "November" then "KOTW Paperback". Would have taken less time :P

Btw, what's Lucharia? I assume it's some sort of ship, and by fluff I hope you don't mean pieces of thread that are stuck on the floor because that wouldn't make an interesting story :P)

Luciana said...

I can't do that, because I like to open the comments in a separate window and it messes everything up if I go down the sidebar and find the post... :I

Lucharia is Luciana/Zacharia. It's sort of from ITS, but I'm rewriting the whole series and Luciana trying to choose between Zacharia and Zara is hilarious because my plot-twists are fabulous. c:
My friend screamed at me for talking to her after I explained to her what happens, because, apparently, she needs to read it already... I'm still rather amused by it.

And fluff in the happy sort of way, where it's just really pointless romance and banter and stuff. Though, I could easily write a story about literal fluff...

Dragona Pine said...

WRITE ABOUT LITERAL FLUFF :D

Luciana said...

I HAVE TOO MANY BOOK IDEAS TO WRITE ABOUT LITERAL FLUFF RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE LOADS PLANNED OUT FOR THE ITS UNIVERSE, A VAMPIRE FIC I'VE STARTED (IT'S REALLY ABNORMAL IDK), AU AND THEN OVER TWENTY MORE IDEAS WRITTEN DOWN I HAVE NO TIME AS IT IS

Dragona Pine said...

Ok, well - I hope you make vampires fearsome predators of the night like they should be and not some sparkly fairies. Because that REALLY annoys me :P

Luciana said...

Hahaha! My protag's reaction to being a vampire is hilarious, because she's mostly just thankful that she doesn't sparkle.

But then she's also disgusted by how vicious and cruel vampires are, because she's a weirdo. She gets turned because her boyfriend literally rips out her throat and feeds on her blood. She only survives because he allows a few drops of his blood to spill into her mouth within five minutes of her death. c:

At least, that's what I think happens... I don't know yet. I've only got random parts of it done. It's just a sideline project. :)

Dragona Pine said...

Thank god. Maybe the world of vampires hasn't been destroyed. People like Darren Shan and Will Hill - I think, "Fair enough - those vampires are awesome". But the SECOND vampires are used in any kind of romantic plot which is like the main theme I'm like fklasdkasdjdsflksadflk you've just RUINED the idea of vampires with your teenage bullshit.

Luciana said...

She stays with her boyfriend, but only because she needs his protection... But there's very little romance other than that, she mostly uses him to get what she wants, because she's manipulative and intelligent. She knows how to get what she wants and she will use any means necessary.

I don't see vampires as romantic creatures, though I do believe they're beautiful. In the way that a wild cat is, of course; vampires are beautiful in a deadly way.

Dragona Pine said...

I've only seen like thirty seconds of some Twilight films - and both times have made me rant. My sister was watching them and I looked up and he was sparkling and I was like WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY.
The next was when the stupid girl with the boring voice gave birth and she was dead for like FOREVER then she woke up again and I was like YOU'D BE BRAIN DEAD THAT'S STUPID and had another rant about how she'd be either extremely brain damaged or dead.

Luciana said...

I just... I can't stand the Twilight franchise. I love Robert Pattinson, but I couldn't even get past the first chapter of the first book... And the films are even worse. I just can't watch them. They're ridiculous. >-<

I'm happier with Darren Shan and the vampires in Skulduggery!


Though... I do love Vampire Academy. Moroi are more peaceful, but strigoi are deadly and the dhampir are incredible. Dimitri is a god.

Dragona Pine said...

I once read the first in a series called Vampire Federation and they were cool - it was about some vampires who wanted to fit into society and set up the "Vampire Federation" and then there were other vampires who believed they were the rulers over humanity since they were given these powers which are the more "traditional" vampires. That was a good book I want some more.

Luciana said...

That sounds interesting...! I might have to look into reading it. :)

Dragona Pine said...

Yeah. It was a good book.

Currently though I'm reading Mass Effect Ascension :D

Luciana said...

I'm reading a few books at the minute. I'm partway through the Bloodlines series, I've started Department 19, the Midnighters trilogy, Scorch Trials (The Maze Runner) and some others... :)

Dragona Pine said...

Department 19 is good... it's a good idea, but tbh I get fed up of all the teenage crap. Not romance, not really - that's fine - just the typical teenage problems which wouldn't actually happen because their problems are so TINY in comparison to the fact there are VAMPIRES around.

Luciana said...

I'm not sure I like it yet. I mean, it's got potential, but I'm not seeing it going anywhere in particular. I don't know. It's a bit weird... But I'm going to read it, because I hate not finishing books.

Which reminds me... I'm going to finish the Gone series. I started it, so I shall finish it.

Dragona Pine said...

It DOES go somewhere. By the end of the first book and into the second it's like, "Ok, this might be quite good". I believe the next book in the series has been released today. I might get it next time I go to town.

I liked the Gone series - for a start. I thought that it was a good idea and was done very well... but then it started to go downhill and became less realistic to the point where I didn't believe it made sense within its own universe and I just couldn't be bothered with it :P

No! No! No.

No...

Uh... ok.)

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

*chuckles darkly*
Hello again. Welcome to rehab Silente. You've turned good. You know we can't allow that.
*walks and crouches by the girls face* *grips her chin in one hand*
Welcome home.
*stands and nods to the whip man*

*the whip is brought down again with immense speed and power*

Dragona Pine said...

(*Keating would probably try and help if she had any idea where they were*)

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

*cries out again as the whip shred the skin on her back along with the dress*
No! Let me go! I won't let it happen again!
*is breathing heavily on the verge of a panic attack*
Let me go! I've done nothing wrong! I don't want to go back to being...to being....
*doesn't finish the sentance*

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - any help to find them? Like anything which will locate where they are?)

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

(oh did I forget to mention this is being broadcasted in blogland via hologram?)

To being the best assassin around? The best killer? The best fighter? Now we can't allow you to lose your talent or your mentality.
*the whip is again brought down*
So we're simply teaching you again. It'll only take a week at most. By the end of it you'll be cured of your weakness. Won't that be nice?
*another lash is delivered*

No! I don't want to be a mindless killer! I've made friends! I won't hurt them!
*tries to pull free of the ropes but they're to tight, to strong*
*sags again*

Luciana said...

Sorry for vanishing...


And Gone is just a rip off of Under The Dome, so I'm funny about it anyway, but I'm struggling to get through the second book, so... :/

@Mushroom: Gone was published in 2008; Under the Dome was published in 2009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Star Inkbright said...

(The first Gone book, I mean.)

Luciana said...

Well, Star, I don't like how immature Gone is in comparison. I don't know, I just... It's a really immature writing style. I much prefer Under the Dome.

But, I don't really care for books right now, if I'm honest. I'm in a crappy mood. Might leave, actually... I don't know.

Star Inkbright said...

Also -
Gone is ace.
You're not even arguing with me on this. :P

Also, Mara - yes, I just ignored your appearance, but if people don't say hi and I've only just arrived I tend to forget they haven't been here all along . . . :P
(Also, if people do say hi and I haven't just arrived and I'm very distant, I tend to forget to reply to their comment by the time I've read the other seven comments made in my absence.
Yes, I'm very forgetful, I suck. It's nothing personal. :))

(Sorry - I know you had a thing about people ignoring you.)

Dragona Pine said...

(I liked gone - it was the other books I was a little bit iffy about. It's like the Hunger Games - I quite liked the first one but HATED the other two)

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: Okay. :/ *hugs* Leave if you want to, but don't feel you have to. :)

And - *shrugs* *hasn't read Under the Dome* *can't judge*

*Gone was much better than The Enemy, though, although admittedly I only read the first book of that, but so many people think the opposite to me and I'm just like WHAT IS THIS MADNESS*

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

(forgive me, I had a thing.)

*laughs*
Friends? Killers don't need friends. They don't need family either. Luckily soon you'll have no friends and you've already been rid of your family.
*nods at the man**Silente is whipped yet again*
*smiles at her cries and runs a finger along her back collecting blood droplets*
*sucks on the blood*
You'll learn.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: DID you?
I read THG too long ago, so I can't really say what I thought as myself - because I judge things differently now I'm a year or two older.
I really liked the movie of Catching Fire, though . . .
Crying SO MUCH . . .

Star Inkbright said...

((Hunter says of course killers need friends.))

Dragona Pine said...

(I disliked the first movie intently and didn't even want to see the second because of it)


*lands her shuttle outside the building Silente is being held*


*draws her pistol and moves towards the door*

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

*cries out once more tears springing to her eyes*
*shudders at his touch on her back*
*whispers* leave me alone. Please.
*hangs her head*

Luciana said...

I just... I'm not massive on the Gone series. The writing style is almost lazy and the second book just drags really bad. I know you like it, Star, but... It's not my cup of tea. The first book was amazing, but I'm really put off by the second... I'm only going to finish it because I have the books and need to know how the series ends.

And I can't decide what I think of this...

Dreams are for people with hope and nightmares are for those with something to fear, but emptiness is for those who have nothing left to lose.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

HELLO EVERYONE *hugs*

I'M IN SUCH A GREAT MOOD

I'M SO HAPPYYYY

Dragona Pine said...

Damn. Ok. *needs to think of a ded*

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

(dragona there is no clear door. In fact the entrance is hidden although there are quite a few false entrances. They lead to a warehouse. The real one leads to a large labyrinth followed by thousands of guards many secure guard stations. Get through them and theres a long hallway with many doors only one of which is safe to enter.)

Leave you alone? You should feel privileged!
*yanks the whip from the man* *turns and sends the 9 ends flying at his back as barely visable blur* *it tears deep furroughs into her skin*

Dragona Pine said...

(Aha, ok Silente ^^)


*uses her energy to blast part of the wall apart*


*luckily finds the real entrance and looks into the labyrinth*

*sighs*

*starts moving into it*

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

*screams as the whip hits her back in 9 different places*
*pulls hard against the bonds tears blurring her vision*
P-please! I don't want this!
*struggles more*
Please...
*is crying*
Please...

Star Inkbright said...

(The first movie was awesome . . . :O)
(Why did you dislike it?)

(@Mushroom: It's okay, you don't have to finish it. :)
I liked the second book . . . but meh. :P)
(Also, as far as the writing style goes, I think it depends what you're looking for.
As with everything in life.
When people say they like things, I always want to know why. What draws them to it? Do they like 1D because they think they're fit or is it something deeper than that?
I always think why you like things is much more important than what you like. You could like anything, really. It's like when we play those linking games in lessons to revise. We have 16pieces of paper with key words on and we have to put them in a 4x4 grid so each piece of paper links with all the pieces of paper it touches. And the thing is, it doesn't matter where you put the pieces of paper. It's just your linking skills. "Osmosis relates to enzymes because enzymes are made of proteins, which are made in cells, and Osmosis happens in cells."
"A table links to email because emails are the electronic form of letters and paper forms of letters, which are also forms of letters, and generally written on tables."
You see?
Your brain can find any number of links in a thing - it can like it for many reasons, some obscure and only existing in that person's mind.
It's not what your brain choses to link to the 'things I like' folder in your head.
It's what the links are.
They're the opinions. They're what matters.

. . .
Yeah.
You can like Gone or not like Gone, it's fine, Mushroom. :))

Star Inkbright said...

*16 pieces
*are generally

(Like my couple of sentences to Dragona at the top of my comment - I'm not interested in the fact he disliked it, I'm interested in why he did.)

. . .
(Yeah sorry. :P)

Star Inkbright said...

*chooses

*still can't type*

SilenteTC . . . :( :( :( :( :( :(
Don't you just want to sit James down and rant at him and tell him how wrong his views of the world are?

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

(i think you'll find that Silente was not the giver of that information.)

*laughs at her* *hands the whip back*
You say that every time. But you always thank me in the end. You always will.
*the whip is brought down yet again*
Just you wait.

Dragona Pine said...

(Star - I think it was bad acting and I disliked the part with the mine because it made no sense and yeah)

Dragona Pine said...

*moves into the labyrinth* *takes cover behind one of the walls*

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: . . .
Okay.

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

*cries out*
*doesn't bother replying*
*they'd had this talk before*
*he never listened*
*just cries out when the whip hits*
*and cries slightly dreding what's going to become of her*

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

*kicks Silente in the side viciously* *probably breaking a few ribs*
Hopefully you won't take long to break. Then we simply have to make sure your fixed.
*smiles*
*grabs some vinegar and lemon juice*
*pours then over her cuts and laughs*

Dragona Pine said...

*moves out of cover, gunning down three guards - hitting them each in the head with a single round*

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

*cries out yet again and curls around the kick as best she can with the bonds*
*coughs*
Won't....break.....
*screams and writhes at the lemon and the vinegar*
*pulling her bonds tight*

Dragona Pine said...

*launches a shockwave - blowing holes in the wall in front of her and some of the ones beyond that* *steps through the hole in the wall, gunning down everyone in her path*

*throws a guard away with her energy - he hits the wall with a force which breaks his back*

*reloads her pistol and draws a second one*

*steps through the next hole in the wall, and guns down the guards again*

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

*the guards fall* *move guards come, guns ablazing* *al aiming at Dragona's head*
---------------------------------------------

What's that? You won't break? I highly doubt-
*BEEP!*
*looks at a screen behind him* *smiles*
Ah look. One of your friends. Seems she found you. Let's watch shall we?
*sits back*
*the man with the whip stands over Silente and goes back to making her back into shredded meat lash by lash*

Dragona Pine said...

*shield flickers as it stops the bullets*

*finishes each of the guards with a single headshot each*

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

*cries out and pulls her bonds whenever the whip hits*
*is panting and crying by now*
*her ribs are broken and shes struggling to breath*
*her back is on fire with pain*

Dragona Pine said...

*throws another shockwave, putting more holes in the walls ahead*

*steps through the hole*

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

((**breathe))

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

*more guards are constantly coming* *some with armour* *three step around the corner* *one necromancer* *one elemental* *one energy thrower* *they protect eachother while also attacking*
-------------------------------------------------
*watches the screen with a smile* *turns back and looks at Silente*

Hmm. Yes. You'll break quickly. It's already happening.

*turns back to the screen leaving Silente to the whipping*

Dragona Pine said...

*throws a ball of energy at the guards - it hits one straight away and he pretty much vanishes*

*the ball of energy becomes an unstable point of nearly infinite mass - it lifts the guards into the air and drags them all towards the centre*

*the guards start losing limbs, heads and parts of their torsos when they come into contact with the centre*

*finishes off the ones who aren't killed with a headshot*

Dragona Pine said...

(Also: This is why you shouldn't piss Keating off :P)

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

*grits her teeth*
*holds back the cries and the tears*
*wraps her hands into the rope pulling it tighter to distract herself from the pain*
*it doesn't work very well*

Dragona Pine said...

*steps through the next hole in the wall*

Dragona Pine said...

*reloads her pistols*

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

*frowns at the screen* *presses a button activating the intercom*
Attack in area 9. Stop it. A raises to whoever brings me the intruders head.
*leans back and watches*
---------------------------------------------
*thousands of guards erupt from no where all around Sophia* *almost all of them have armour* *half of them can use magic* *Sophia is trapped in an onslaught of shadows, wind, fire, water, energy and bullets*

Dragona Pine said...

*makes a bubble of blue energy around herself to protect her from the magic*

*growls angrily at the magicians* *switches to incendiary ammunition - which is very effective against armour*

*starts shooting at the magicians*

*launches more singularities (the points of nearly infinite mass) at the mages*

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

*looks at the screen*
*pulls tight against her bonds*
Sophia!
*collapses as another lash hits her*
*cries out as her ribs are jarred even more*

Dragona Pine said...

*expands the bubble of energy, stopping the offensive for a moment to push it outwards*


*anyone in the bubble's radius is ripped apart*

*keeps pushing the bubble outwards*

Dragona Pine said...

*causes the bubble to explode outwards - destroying anyone left alive*


*is breathing heavily*


*grabs an energy bar from her belt and eats it*

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

*guards fall quickly but are just are quickly replaced* *energy flies at the blue shield dome energy thing*
------------------------------------------------
*laughs hearing Silente cry out* *presses the intercom again*
Hault!
------------------------------------------------
*the guards stop*
------------------------------------------------
Sophia. How nice to see you again. Your looking ravashing my dear. Be a good girl and go away. I said I'll return Silente within a week. I meant it. It's my deal. How ever if you continue to force my hand...well. I'll return what's left of her.

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

*gets back onto her knees*
*stares at the screen*
*smiles slightly*
*cries out at the whip, pulling on her bonds*
*grits her teeth again*

Dragona Pine said...

Fuck you, asshole. I'm not leaving without her. Just keep throwing your cannon fodder at me. I don't give a shit. You're under arrest. In fact, no, I'll shoot you as soon as I bloody see you.

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

*laughs over the intercom*
Ah. Your a feisty one. And yet I'd heard you didn't care for her. Never the matter, my point still stands. You have ten seconds to walk away. Fail to do so and Silente starts losing parts. Continue still and she'll continue losing parts. We'll be leaving before you reach us either way.

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

*shouts so Sophia will hear*
SOPHIA! RU-
*cries out yet again as the whip comes down hard*

Dragona Pine said...

*laughs* I'm not here for her. I'm here for you. Rip her apart for all I care. But you have kidnapped someone. Therefore I am authorised to kill or arrest you as I see fit. You know I'm going to find you. And you know I'm going to kill you. Just give up now and MAYBE I will spare your guards.

*shoots the intercom system*

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

*looks at Silente*
Well well. Looks like your friend isn't much of a friend.
*walks over to her signaling the the muscular man to put her in a lock that will make it so if she moves to loses an arm*
Ah well. Guess I'll just have to give up on you then.
*punches her hand across the jaw feeling it break*
Pity.
*shadows slice through one of her wrists all the way and then stop her from bleeding to death*

Dragona Pine said...

*knocks the guards back with a shockwave and then launches some grenades after them*

*steps through the next hole in the wall and launches another shockwave, putting holes in the wall ahead of her*

*sees the way out*

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

*grunts as her jaw is broken*
*screams as her hand is sliced off and tries to headbutt the man behind her*
See fun yo. See sho ou. Ou de.
*grins ignoring the pain it causes*
Ba ba.

Dragona Pine said...

*exits the labyrinth, and starts moving towards where Silente is*

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

*smiles*
And I'll take you with me.
*kicks her in the jaw knocking her cold out* *unites her arms* *looks at the muscular man*
You'll be staying. Good bye.
*shadow walks away with Silente*
