Okay FINE, so we're all waiting for the Tanith cover... It's looking like a Friday reveal right now- so long as we suffer no more delays. Believe me, once you see it you'll know it's been worth the wait. Tom's best cover. Ever.
Speaking of awesome covers, take a look at these.
Isn't that brilliant? There is literally nothing about this cover that I do not love. And there's more!
I know Suz Korb is a Blog-reader and she's commented a few times, but just take a look at these books she's written. And the titles! Pulpy, trashy, and so much FUN.
You know that old saying, never judge a book by its cover? That's not always applicable. People who judge my books by Tom's covers know exactly what they're getting- awesomeness on a page. And if a writer has enough taste to approve these covers, as Ms Korb obviously does, then that bodes very well for what's inside. From what I know, they're all available online.
Okay, I didn't actually intend to show all of these covers, but once I started I just couldn't stop.
This Blog post, by the way, is for a girl called Molly, who I met today in Forbidden Planet in Dublin. There I was, perusing the shelves, building up the stack of comics in my hand, and then I hear a "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" from right beside me. I turn, and there stands a fifteen-year old in a really odd hat.
She was, as you can imagine, overjoyed at meeting me. We talked about her nonsensical love of all things Transformers (except the movies- she has issues with the movies) and her appreciation of Batman and how she never could get into Wonder Woman. That led to a conversation about lassoes, and then to a conversation about lassoing horses, and then to a conversation about how cowboys don't lasso horses, they just run after them when they want to catch them. Bless her, she has a small brain.
So this is a Blog post for Molly. Happy birthday Molly.
I've been watching some movies lately. I saw The Amazing Spider-Man last week. Not as bad as I'd been led to believe. I quite enjoyed it, in fact. Andrew Garfield didn't have to cry NEARLY as much as Tobey Maguire, and of course Emma Stone is just divine. I could watch her in anything.
The Dark Knight Rises is out now, of course, but I'd already seen that in the cinema. Not perfect, and some of the story just refuses to make any kind of sense, but a fitting end to the trilogy. I am in awe of Christopher Nolan's ability to generate atmosphere, and then use that atmosphere to make the audience dread what is about to happen.
I've been playing games as well. Just finished Hitman: Absolution. Awesome stuff. I want to play it again and not fire a single shot. Now that's a challenge...
I had been playing the new Assassin's Creed game, but got bored.
Dishonored, however, is a game that did not bore me. The thought and the imagination that went into building that world is staggering. Loved it.
Basically, I've been fitting as much as possible into the last few weeks because I think I've started Book 8... It's all very random at the moment, very casual, just writing a few bits and pieces, a few scenes here and there... but yeah... I think I've actually started. I had a look at the plot a few days ago, to remind myself of what's in store. I've already got it planned out to a degree- I did that a week or two after finishing KOTW- and wow. A LOT happens in this book. Like, SERIOUSLY. It's going to take a lot of planning on my part. War is like that. Complicated. Got to remember who's on who's side and where they are and when certain things take place and who's around when certain people DIE HORRIBLY.
Be warned. There will be horror. There will be slaughter. There will be betrayal and hatred and love and there WILL be blood.

Ravel: *has Zaf in arms* Haley grab my arm.
Haley: *picks up the baby and places hand on Ravel's arm*
Ravel: *uses Zaf's bracelet and teleports to the treehouse*
(giving birth isn't dramatic as it's made out to be lol You're just tired a lot and the contractions are painful but once they sort your pain relief out, you're grand lol Anything you want to know just ask Mars ;))
((I'm surprised she wouldn't have just had a Cesarean section if she were that weak.))
((I don't want to seem like one of those stuck up englush bastards though!))
((English*))
@Chi: OH MY GOSH. *is English*
*laughs*
Well, who cares if you seem like a stuck-up English bastard? You're you, and you're amazing, whatever qualities you share with less-amazing people. *smiles*
(Yes, Hunter basically just wrote that entire last paragraph. I was 'hey'ing him at the stuck-up English bastard bit because *IS ENGLISH*)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Okay simple explanation: Water broke, Haley thought Zaf was strong enough but Zaf said it herself she wasn't but tried naturally, Haley then had an emergency C-section done and yeah to be honest Zaf was awake to see her son but for passed out and Haley is getting concerned too)
((Ask me? lmao
Well i have read a lot of fanfiction but all the "giving births" are all "NIALL AHH" and "OH GOD IT HURTS" so um :P))
((NO CHI BRITISH PEOPLE ARE AWESOME))
((Even if you are English Star, you're not stuck-up , sorry if I offended you))
@Chi: You didn't. :) I found it amusing.
#ChaseForBookNine
(No lol I meant to ask me Mars lol you know since I've been there and done that.)
((OMFG I HAVE AN IDEA
but idk
DAMN
should mara's waters break or not
Never thought I'd ask myself that but
ARGH I'M SO TORN
nothing's fine i'm tornnnn))
(And Em's son is freakjn adorable!)
((@Star xD
@Mara not all British people! I'm British but what do people think of when they hear Britain? "England" Scotland probs isn't included most of the time))
((Oh my gosh Mara))
**She begins to put things back in order and nods, surveying the dry lab*
*The scorch marks are gone, and the ceiling is fixed*
"Comme avec les jeunes, mon village n’a pas beaucoup pour les personnes âgées, car mon village n’a pas beaucoup, parce que mon village est petit, car c’est un village."
I think I rounded that off very nicely. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Chi: But Scottish people are awesome! :)
#ChaseForBooknine
((Oh right Em hahaha :P *hugs*))
Ravel: He'll be in the room next to us but for now
Haley: I know *sets him down gently in his cot* I'm monitoring Zaf's pulse which is fine...
*is awake barely* Ravel?
Ravel: We're in the treehouse. You never named our son
He has your eyes...
Ravel: I know. And I'm grateful.
((I know they are Star! ^.^ Scottish and proud.))
(And just so you know Mara, waters don't always have to break for you to be in labour. It can just be a striking pain in your lower back or if you're over your due date, you can be induced.)
((Chi - Actually, I think of Scotland because my friend is from there... :P
You'd think I'd think of England wouldn't you hmm
Cause 1D and LM
Yeah
Okay))
((I'M SORRY IF I SAY I NEED YA
BUT I DON'T CARE I'M NOT SCARED OF LOVEEEE))
((Em - oh yeah, my mum told me about the pain in your lower back before :) thanks *hugs* :)

Ravel: Zaf we still need a name....
I know...can we name him Christopher?
Ravel: I think that could be a very lovely name.
((Lol that was funny Mara xD))
((Is everyone dead?))
((Apparently so. I'm doing my homework.))
((Wow...))
*smiles* excellent.
Ravel: *picks the baby up and hands him to Zaf*
*holds him smiling* He really has your eyes...
Ravel; I'm glad I could pass it on to someone.

*sits there in incomprehension*
#ChaseForBookNine
HEYO
msd at any minute so... yeah :P
Hello, Jubi-bean! *hugs*
I'm trying to do my reading in 5-page increments. It takes about 20 minutes per increment... So..
*moves and sets Christopher in his cot* Ravel...
Ravel: *wraps arms around* I'm claiming you for mine.
Haven't you already?
Haley: careful with her. She still is weak. *goes*
Ravel: *smirks, eyes glittering* you're not getting away Zaffy
I figured
Ravel: *kisses*
*kisses back*

Sorry, I must now myself depart.
*departs*
FOURS!
#ChaseForBookNine
(Hmm I hope Ari is alright...)
Ravel: Zaf about taking John's name...are you sure you are ready for the risks?
I am. I'm ready to do this. I'm prepared but I want to speak to John.
Ravel: I understand. But Zaf remember you may lose yourself. John won't be sadistic hopefully but remember Alastair took over Niccolò's emotions, if this works you could have that issue.
I know.
Ravel: I love you Zaf. Always. *holds her close*
I love you too *buries head against*
Aw, Jubi you have your homework finished?
Blegh.
I've got about an hour more of lit, I think. Perhaps not. Hopefully not.
Bye Jubi! Bye Star! And... UH.. Chione! And Mara, but I'm pretty sure you're just on instagram, so...
*hugs all*

Mara: *stands up* Oh..
Harry: Mara? Are you alright? *quickly*
Mara: Harry... I think the babies are coming... *laughs awkwardly*
Harry: *eyes wide* Oh my gosh, we need to get you to the hospital. Come on boo, let's go.
Mara: *holds out her hand* I can still teleport, Harry...
Harry: Right. Just be careful. Please.
Mara: *teleports into the Sanctuary*
((Idk this is awful lmao))
((Hello, everyone.
Zafira, would I still be attempting to kill all of you now, or do I have some will of my own?))
#ChaseForBook9
It would be around midnight, yes :/ Bye snow *hugs*
MARA
JESUS
I call my cat boo.
WOO! I got through my 15 page chapter! I have a 10 pager left, then I think I'm finished :)
((Hola friends *waves*))
*She picks up her paper with the new symbol on it, pacing slightly*
((I believe she might be preoccupied))
(I have finished eating and hmmm you can still kill people you're finny like that
(If you ARE still here. Sorry I just had seen the comment.)
((You're really dead-set on making this difficult, aren't you? Dammit. :/))
*She flips something around in her hand, pacing faster*
((I don't have a cat.
I want one though.
And boo can be a couple name thing too ya know.
And um wsd :/
And yaaaaay on the chapter! *hugs*
Hey Niccolo *hugs*))
((Idk what to do at this point in the roleplay
*hums a song*))
((Er... I mean annotating it for my English class.
Yes it can be. *nods* You ought to get an ocelot.))
(Yeah i am why?
*sprints into Blogland, immediately running to the treehouse* *pounds on the door* Zaf? Alexis? Are you in there?
#ChaseForBook9
*She sits down uncomfortably, tapping her foot*
((isn't that a leopard))
((...No..?))
*goes to door* Woah breathe Ari yes i am
He's coming. He's coming now. He's already set my part of the forest on fire, and it's spreading. None of our homes are safe. I found a cave by the lake and loaded it up with anti-magic sigils, so we should be safe there, but you have to leave now. He's taking his time but he could be here any minute. Gather your family- I'm going to warn Adra. *climbs down and races to Adra's lab, knocking hard on her door as well*
#ChaseForBook9
*She glances up* Come in!
((Huh okay
Thought it was
Sorry))
*doo doo doo doo doo Zayn and Perrie's POV doo doo dooo doo doooo*
Perrie: *squeals* This is so exciting! Maralie's having a baby!
Zayn: Two, actually, babe. *smiles*
Perrie: Twins?! Oh my gosh!
Zayn: Harry wants us to look after the house while they're gone.
Perrie: Why?
Zayn: *shrugs* No clue. Harry just asked me and I said yeah.
Perrie: Ah. Okay. *laughs*
Ravel: shit. Zaf get the kids. I'll get anything we need for Christopher. Go!
*nods and picks up Christopher and runs*
Javier: Erskine we ought to stay and fight.
Ravel: I plan to. He can't torment me more then her, I have regrets but if he touches ....
*opens the door and races in, panting fairly heavily by now* Adra. Niccolo is on his way now, and he's burning the forest, and he's going to burn everything else too. *tries not to cry* Our homes aren't safe anymore. I found a cave and painted anti-magic sigils all over the walls, so we should be safe there, and I'm bringing Zaf there now. You should come with us.
#ChaseForBook9
...
No, I have to get to him. *She holds up the symbol on paper* It's in chalk. If I can get to him... One touch of this on his skin will break the bond.
*She shakes her head, handing more chalk and symbols to her* These can be for extra help, but you have to make sure Zafira and her family are safe, you understand?
*She shrugs on a leather jacket*
*She glances outside*
My alchemists are working on the fires already, it seems.... *she nods* We'll do our best to keep him away from you.
(*I'm rewinding just for the craic lol* Em's body is still at the lake... just so you all know. Yes I know I'm a bitch.)
*nods quickly* Alright then. Thank you. And- make sure you stay safe. *offers her a tight smile* *races outside and waits outside Zaf's treehouse*
#ChaseForBook9
(*bitch slaps Em* *hits with a frying pan whilst sobbing* will you and Derek stop killing my feels?! Is this an author thing?)
*comes down treehouse with Christopher* Ari I can't...run...
Olivia: *is with Momma* Ari maybe we could make Coco stop?
*She picks up a few sheets of paper, and walks outside, noticing the smell*
*She takes a deep breath,holding a helmet over herself before mounting her motorcycle and riding off for the fire over the rough terrain*
((D: Em!!!!))
#ChaseForBook9
((And if you remember... Tzipora's in the afterlife))
(I rewind and I am not going back lol Deal with it, it's an author thing. I'm adapting to the current crisis)
((So.... Tzipora isn't there, then..))
(I'm hitting you with a book when I see you in 2014 or 15!)
*shakes head* No, Olivia- even if we can stop him, the fires will catch up to us. *thinks for a quick moment* Are Ravel or Alexis with you, Zaf? Because if one of them- or even Olivia- can hold the baby, I'll carry you.
#ChaseForBook9
(No, we'll just have it that Lorcan ran while Alexis was asleep so we don't know where he is and Em's body is still at the lake so no one knows she's dead. Yet. Still love yas all lol )
Olivia: I hold!
Here Liv remember how I showed you.
Olivia: *takes Christopher* Hi Christopher!
Alexis: *comes down* I'm a Sensitve Ari...shall I use his name to stop him? I hate to but...Aro's close to him maybe if I can get him free will he'll see Aro
*She nears a wall of flame, hopping from her bike and discarding it, putting a rock covering over it with her alchemy*
*She touches the ground and a column raises her above the treeline, gazing at the fire as it burns*
Hmm like Hellfire. How very poetic.
Sorry I disappeared before. Was interrupted.
I'm really glad you liked it, Star! [hugs]
Well, I suppose it is weird writing about a ship when you haven't met one of the people you're shipping. :-P
#ChaseForBook9
The most important thing right now is getting all of you to safety. The alchemists are working on the fires, but they were spreading so quickly- let's just get to safety, and then we can work out a strategy. Ok?
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra, if you look close enough you'll find that a pile of bodies was actually the first thing to be set aflame, and it spread from there to the trees.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hello, Fabi! *huggles*))
*She hops off of her column to the ground, beginning to raise walls from the ground to block out the flames, keeping her helmet on to block the smoke*
Okay please come on...
Alexis: *takes Christopher and nods to Olivia* look lets just go before Niccolò gets here him or the copy
((Oh that's lovely that is))
*She glances at something- a strange obstruction in a clearing- stacked bodies, melting and charred against each other*
Oh that poor guy...
*She keeps building walls wherever she can*
Ok. Follow me. *scoops Zaf up and runs for the lake*
#ChaseForBook9
((Ah. This looks like a bad time to bring in a clueless Fabi.))
((Hi! [hugs]))
((Uh, wbd/msd.)))
#ChaseForBook9
*she pauses*
*calls out* Yooooohoooo! Free heathen meat! Get your free heathen meat! Packed and ready to go!
*Continues to build*
Alexis: *follows Ari and so does Olivia*
If he kills Ravel I swear to god I'm going to lose it
((Hint hint... If he kills Ravel then just convince him not to go :P))
*arrives along the edge of the lake and runs next to it for a stretch before reaching the cave* *sets Zaf down inside, and ushers the girls in behind*
#ChaseForBook9
*She shrugs, and places symbols on the stones so that they are reinforced by pure energy of the ground*
Alexis: *takes Olivia and Christopher in and immediatley gives Christopher to Mom* If anything he'd want Mom or you...
*holds my son just whispering to him*
Alexis: Ravel is still there...
Aro: Szoren the Irish Grand Mage and Javier are still at thw tree house, Adra is looking for you. Do what you must to the heathens
*moves out to the mouth of the cave, looking around* *turns and, ensuring that all three girls and the baby are inside, presses a sigil at the edge of the cave* *they are all transported to the entrance of the Palace, where a few guards are waiting*
#ChaseForBook9
*She manages to block off a section of the fire, gasping from the exertion and the heat, feeling it sizzle on her skin**Sweat drips down her as she struggles to breathe in the helmet*
((YOU LITTLE))
((ARGH.
JUST.
ARGH.
MEAN.))
((Um... I think I'll leave now.))
((Bye!))
((Scampers off, looking for good songs to shipify))
#ChaseForBook9
((Bye Fabi :3 *hugs*))
*in Aro's mind* Of course. I shall deal with the rest as I do every other heathen on this miserable Earth.
#ChaseForBook9
(You little...
Aretha Tesla....
Alexis: You idiot! You're Nic.
*holds Christoper close* You'll have to kill me before you touch my baby
((I'll find you and bite your arm off))
*She looks around, looking for Niccolo* *she begins running*
*grins at Zafira* I'm sure I'll skin the little demon in front of you some other day. In the meantime- *waves for the surrounding guards to take over* *vanishes*
((I must leave momentarily, however I ought to be back within forty five minutes.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh wow. Momentarily. :P See ya then and
waY TO LEAVE ME THERE HOT DAMN))
(This is very awkward
Alexis: Leave me alone I'm a Sense-Warden!!!!
*we're all led to the dungeons*
Olivia: *stays with Alexis scared* Lexi...
*is shaking* He...he...
(I must take my opportunity to get the rest of this chapter finished!)
(K Adra I'll be watching Jeopardy commenting a bit with Javier and Ravel
(Cool beans)
(Man, are we sad)
(Lol yes! Okay seriously I had no idea that would happen Ari was so convincing I was like oh cool Ari and then the Palace and im like...OH SHIT
((I figured- the actions that you had Aro do were slightly off from what Aretha/Niccolo was doing))
(Yeah so I had no idea...)
(And you all just leave my body at the lake -_-... I feel loved lol.
Don't matter, I'm heading to bed now so goodnight girlies!! xxx)
(Night Em...)
((I'm sorry babe xxlove you- sleep well! *hugs*))
Ravel: She's in the other dimension
Javier: oh my god
Ravel: *takes a shaky breathe* I may lose her again and she wants to steal John's name...
Javier: Erskine...we'll get her back. You know we will.
Ravel: We have to stop him...
Javier: try to calm Zaf.
[Finds self ghosting and being all tense and stressed]
[Scowls]
[Thinks]
[Hugs people]
#ChaseForBook9
((*hugs Fabi, hoping to make her feel better*))
(([hugs back] [Smiles shakily] [Flips through songs looking for something to Tadrafy]))
#ChaseForBook9
((*kisses Fabi's hair all mother-ly like and cuddles her* Mah child, I ayum heeyah fo' you))
((My apologies, Emerald. If I had noted its presence, I surely would have burned it, or perhaps used it as a trophy of some sort, so I thought it best to remain focused on my present goal of taking Zafira's family captive. Sleep well.))
*appears in the midst of the flames, dematerialized to avoid any burns* *calls out* Adrasdos, darling, come here and join me. I know you're just dying to make use of that pretty symbol you made.
#ChaseForBook9
*Waves happily* You know it!
Er, but there's flames in our way.
*is in the dungeon* I SWEAR I'll FUCKING KILL YOU NICCOLÒ CROATOAN!!!!
Alexis: mother enough before he hurts Christopher or Liv
((You are more than welcome to join us, if you like, Fabienne. I hope you are able to relax.))
#ChaseForBook9
But what are mere flames to such a dedicated woman as yourself?
#ChaseForBook9
I suppose your right. I do tend to go to extremities. *She makes a small bridge of stone and walks over the flame*
*She shrugs with one shoulder* I don't suppose that was too difficult.
((Fabi has been in a coma for several weeks and has next to no idea what's going on, so I'm not really sure if I could make it work in a way that wasn't annoying, but thanks.))
((hugs Adra))
((I have dinner soon anyway, so...))
((Sort of.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Okay dear :/ *sings Whitney Houston to her*))
(I won against Dad in Jeopardy xD sorry usually when we try I fail against him)
((Woo Zaf! I've finished my homework. Early tonight, too! Yay! Being sick does have it's advantages))
(Dude its scary the amount of work you get....like it is)
((You don't say))
(I mean I have math and thats it like its scary...)
*looks up at her* Clever. Now come down.
#ChaseForBook9
((I've got math next half of the year. And I have english with the same teacher. And latin- although I heard that that class is pretty easy.
Apparently, the homework that I'm doing right now is going to increase greatly next half of the year.
I think I'm just going to go ry now and wave my social-life away.
Well.
My social life at school. Blogland kinda is my social life.))
... You come up here.
Alexis: breathe Mom. Please.
I'll steal his name so god help me.
Alexis: Mom if you take the copy's name it could kill you you don't have a memory of him taking one.
*shakes head holding Christopher* Please let me live...
Olivia: I want Nic back. The nice Coco.
Alexis: We all do Olivia. *holds her sister* We'll be okay. Niccolò was bluffing I bet. He isn't Alastair.
Hm... *pretends to think deeply about her proposal for several minutes*
Copy: *appears on the side of the bridge between Adra and safety, and it disintigrates behind him*
Niccolo: No, I don't think I will. It's more fun if you come here. There's usually more screaming involved.
#ChaseForBook9
(It's sad they don't care that kids have lives. I mean in the hour and a half they have they can't give you a bit of time to you know start the piles they give you? To me its stupid it would make me not want to go to school because I would be so miserable.)
*She raises an eyebrow* Of course. My death. *She gestures to the flames* How romantic of you. *Dryly* I daresay, I always wanted to die in the heat.
*She carefully steps to the other side onto the ground*
(Hmmm okay yeah I'm just gonna go watch this as I'm really at a loss why I'm captive in the Palace and kinda unsure what I'm supposed to be doing...*nods*)
((Zafira, the process of stealing a name is incredibly difficult. You would either need a clear memory of a name being stolen with exactly the proper procedure, and you would need to be able to feel that memory as well, before you could do it. Either that, or several years of research and dedicated practice. I say this merely as a reference. There are many complications I still have yet to explain in the roleplay. As an example- the theory you and Adra formed that the names are like trees is incorrect.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I was really confused for a second, thinking that you were talking about the RP for a second but apparently not... oh my gosh.
And yeah, that's why I didn't go to school today. Well. That among other reasons that I won't go in to because it's a long and sad story
But yeah
I hadn't missed a day of school before today, and my mom is understanding enough. *praise*))
((That's why it was a theory...?
Ah oh well. I said that I'd ask.))
((I mean neither of you any criticism, and I sincerely apologize if anything I've said offended either of you; I merely used that as an example of the lack of explanation I have done thus far in the roleplay. Of course, the theories I have are mainly all what Aretha assures me is commonly referred to as "headcannon", which I attempt to respect in the roleplay as best I can through my understanding that my theories may in fact be false to varying degrees, but there are several elements that are rather pivotal to the character development I have already undergone, and I must defend those or I as a character simply cease to make sense.))
#ChaseForBook9
(Nic, you realize if I really was hardset to take your name I could simply order you to give me a memory? But I'm not going to. Zaf is simply losing it she's in a protective mode as her newborn is in danger, if you tried to touch her or Christopher you would be surprised how violent she can get over her kids. But no she's just freaking she wouldn't have the guts to even try for yours but later on when/if she can she'd try to get John seperated from the other names. But now she's really just freaking and saying things. And for feeling the memory, that's exactly how she does it with any new discipline she learns. Way to go on that.)
((*hugs Adra* I won't ask, but I hope you're ok. *hugs again*))
#ChaseForBook9
((Ohmygod headcanon YES tumblrdestieljohnlockwhat and yes we understand *nods*))
*She pauses for a second, then carefully takes her coat off, about to die from the heat alone*
((*cuddles Ari* ta friend))
((I also do not mean to appear defensive, Zafira, and if the circumstances were such that you could reasonably (reasonably being within the parameters of the "headcannon" I operate under) steal my name, I would not prevent you. I merely think it important that I clearly establish the elements of names that I happen to be dependent upon, as if those are disregarded, my entire history and the state of my existence must be disregarded as well.))
#ChaseForBook9
((If I recall correctly, Adra, I may have effectively blocked off your means of escape before you could cross the bridge... I may be incorrect, however, I shall have to read the previous comments again.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Of going back, or actually getting across? Sorry, I'm about to get extremely confused))
(It's fine Nic. I'm just saying I really could order you to do that but again, I'm mean but not that mean. You got how Zaf can learn a new discipline but if she managed to get a clear memory from you of stealing a name, on her first attempt she probably wouldn't get yours. I mean plus you could stop her easily from doing it. But again, I have a theory of what the effect of stealing just John's name would do to her. But I'm rambling.)
((Because I think I went across it... I don't really remember, I'm a little hazy))
(And seeing we're rping I shall watch as I'm uneeded in the rp and kinda out of ideas what to do with 4 characters all in a dungeon and yeah...
((It matters not. We may as well continue from where we are. Apologies for the confusion.
Of course, Zafira, you could do that. However... Ah, I shall explain in the roleplay when I am able.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Er, alright then *nods*))
*a weak, raspy voice sounds from several cells to the left of Zafira's* ...Zaf? *breaks down into a coughing fit*
#ChaseForBook9
(Uno?
Aretha? My god...he got you too? *Christopher starts crying*
*She sighs* In any case...
*glances back at the copy*
*Looks back and forth* This will be fun.
(Fun tip for RPing that I discovered- use two different search engines (ie: Firefox, or Explorer or Chrome or Safari) and log into a different email on your two accounts and switching back and forth..
*nods*
MAN. Just thought you all should know- that's how I manage kashwing)
*manages to stop coughing long enough to get breathing back under control* Yeah... He burned my house- all the paintings along with it- and so many books... *is cut off by a few small sobs* There was a 213 year old book... *tries not to cry, but cries softly anyway*
#ChaseForBook9
(I have no idea, but I should not imagine it being a problem Fabroo *cuddles*)
(oi! I know you were there Fabi)
((Of course not, Fabi!
Heh, Adra- I've been doing that for months! ;p There'd be no other way for me to roleplay like this all the time. When I'm not distant at all I can have post responses from both accounts in the same minute. No, please, no flash photography. No, mam, please, I don't need any roses. *bows* *it really isn't that impressive and I haven't done it in ages anyway* *oops*))
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha he is burning everything...
Alexis: Ari he may come here...what if he tries to hurt Christopher? He's mere hours old
((*pulls Fabi into the roleplay* *whispers eerily* Join usssssss!))
#ChaseForBook9
((I just figured, in case you didn't know.. It must be fairly difficult))
*She looks back and forth again* What, do you have catalepsy?
[From somewhere nearby]
Is Mevolent capturing young children now? I thought he would be merciful and kill them quickly
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolo: *appears just outside the flames* *unties the blue string and tosses it into the fire* Oh, won't it just?
Copy: Now, which one am I?
Both of them: *vanish, and appear on opposite sides of Adra*
((I shall now refer to us as one and two, to provide appropriate lack of identification, if that is alright.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I usually use two devices. Not as efficient, I suppose, but it works))
((Or I keep tabs with two different profiles open, but the same account.))
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes head, wiping away a few tears, smearing ash all over her face in the process* *it was already relatively ash-y anyway* Mevolent doesn't have to be that cruel when he has people like Niccolo.
#ChaseForBook9
No Niccolò did this. Little cunt.
Alexis: He led us to a gave disguised as Aretha and then we were outside the Palace. Zaf is ticked enough she said she would take his name if she could...
((It's fun to see how different people do it. XD))
#ChaseForBook9
Oh wow. *looks back and forth* You two are too kind now, really. *She shrugs* I guess I could just block both of you.
(When i was Namaah and Zaf I had one on the iPad one on my iPod
Ah.
[Pretends to know who they're talking about]
[Is silent]
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs a bit* It doesn't work *cough* like *cough* that, Zaf. *coughs*
Do you know *coughs* Niccolo... *coughs a bit more* *remembers how annoying it is to keep typing in "cough" because word repetition* What's your name?
