It was Christmas Eve, babe...

... in the drunk tank, an old man said to me, won't see another one, and then they sang a song, the rare old Mountain Dew, I turned my face away, and dreamed about you...


I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and you have lots of laughs and get the biggest smiles when people open the presents you've given them. And for those of you who don't celebrate Christmas... hey, it's a day off school, right?


Oh, and Skulduggery was very happy to hear that the Americans kept up their side of the bargain. Nice going, fellas.

Because hopefully no one else will want it. If there are two people from the same District, you have to collaborate on the writing, and write the same thing in two different POV's, and make sure they're in sync.

Me and a couple of others made a Ghost Town for SP ghosts, and we were deciding whi was allowed in(Caelan wasn't, Marr was allowed on outskirts), and we created little houses and jobs and stuff for them, based on what they would have wanted when they were alive. It was kind of sad, actually.

Khiara Phray strode down the path, barely glancing at the gorgeous displays of Christmas lights that were painstakingly arranged to form flowers and butterflies. Flowers and butterflies were not her proverbial cup of tea, but the anonymous tip had led her here, so here she was.

She glanced around uneasily, hoping to see the person she was supposed to meet. 'Unusually short, standing on one foot,' were her instructions, nothing more than that. There were definitely short people in the crowd, in fact, nearly everyone was shorted than Khiki, but none of them seemed unusually so. None of them seemed to be standing on one foot, either. They hit a one-footed position while walking, but Khiki figured that didn't count.
