Tanith Cover REVEALED!



I hope you're all as thrilled with Tom Percival's artwork as I am!

Let's say no more about it!

(Other than to say, perhaps, that this may not be the FINAL artwork, and that maybe the art department need a FEW more days to tweak the colours, and that maybe, possibly, this piece might not even be by the hand of Mr Percival.)

(But let's face it, it's hard to tell the difference, right?)

I only had six hours of sleep, around about, because I woke up early and didn't drift away again, and now I'm tired and I'm annoyed. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And maybe it's good like that for sketches, but if you LOOK at this picture, you can see a load of blue blurring around the letters.
THAT BLUE BLURRING WAS NOT THERE WHEN I MADE IT.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, but the funny lines by the F were there.

I scribbled a bit in blue pen when the background was blue before working out that I needed the other colour to be another colour, and when I changed the background the little blue lines stayed, and I kept them there. :)

I think I'm set up for lack of sleep as well. I just had to wait until someone came on, because there's something I really need to say, and it's tight in my throat and my chest feels like a balloon, but if you were to ask me what it is I need to say, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

@Lantern: Try to put your tenseness in a box and close the box. *nods*

Well, people recommend it, and I was trying it this morning, except my box was one of those cardboard boxes and so I just sellotaped the lid together and I was like hmmm, that's not that strong, so I debated putting a load of books on top of it, but then I was like no, the lid'll collapse, so I put this big wooden flat thing over the lid of the box, stretching out over the lids, and then plonked the books on top of that, but then I was like no the sides'll collapse, so I put wooden plate things around all the sides for the top one to rest on.
It seemed to work. :)

I'm not sure if I like sectioning myself up, though. My tenseness is a part of me and nobody can make me split my soul up.

Then again . . . that attitude isn't really going to help, is it?

Anyway. Try putting it in a box. *nods*

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Hm...

Out of the characters from the dreamworld, (Sandra, Paul, Sebastian, Janis, Judith) would further adventures with any of them be interesting to read?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

I AM THE CIRCLE AND THE CIRCLE IS ME

Like that.

That's a technique meant to help.

And Todd's much better off without it, when he can feel, empathise. Closing off his feelings so he can torture people is not good. And the Noise. It's better when he has Noise.

. . .
Yeah.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Well . . . I think my most honest answer is that it would depend. I don't know most of them very well, and I don't have a clue what the further adventures would be, but your roleplays are generally interesting to read anyway. :)

. . .
That didn't help. :/

#ChaseForBookNine

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

[Considers]

I think it's already in one, and wants to burst out and that's the problem. It's claustrophobic.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Well . . . maybe you could set it free, then, and tell it to go drift out of your head.

I don't know.

I'm sort of floating here.

Or you could tell it to teleport out of your head so it would be gone quick, woooosh. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I HAVE A HEADACHE AND I'M REALLY TIRED AND IT'S JUST LIKE ARGHHHHHH.

I didn't WANT to be tired.

I had a really cool dream, though. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

No, it really didn't.

Which of those characters did you find the most interesting, at least?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Teleporting it is a good idea...

Ice water? Ice water is supposed to help with headaches. So is not staring at screens.

Yay for cool dreams! Ooh, I still have to finish writing the one with Maddie and Nigel and Kyle.

They're in this world with no individual cars, only a few "patchwork buses" and it's weird. I have the beginning written. :-)

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Janis/Judith. :) I mean, not both of them, one of them.
Although, the ones we know less about, you can do a lot with, so that can also be really interesting. :)

#ChaseForbookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: It sounds like a cool dream. :)

My dream was less interesting my itself than by the thoughts that came out of it, but none of it really works in the daylight.

And - taps and ice and stuffs are downstairs, where people are, so then people know me have headaches, and it's mostly gone now . . .
In fact.
It did go.
And now it's back.
Which is . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Idk what it is.

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

[Nods]

I did leave Janis and Sandra at a cliffhanger, didn't I? I should probably fix that.

GAH

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

WELL, NOW IT'S UNDERNEATH THE THING.

Yeah.

Msd.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: I am very good at putting up with cliffhangers. :)

So I don't mind.

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

Maddie originally wanted to save everyone. That's why she was there. Kyle came with, of course. He was perfect for her, kind and supporting. Sure, he had a funny face, but Maddie was the type of girl who could see through that. She was a so bright, it was rare for her to fail at making someone smile.
There were two buses, destined to crash on the corner of Ash and Hamilton. That much was fixed, and no matter how many times Maddie went back and tried again, she'd never be able to change that. She could, however, make sure that she and Kyle were driving the buses and slowed down enough to turn the tragedy into a fender bender.
Once that was done, she switched the car into reverse, backing up Ash Street, the way she'd come. 
There was no one behind her. Buses were expensive, and rare. Personal cars were even rarer, no one had bothered to make any since the Great Electrical and Oil failure of 2149.
Kyle drove past, grinning that lopsided grin of his and giving her a thumbs up. They'd meet up again near the edge of the city. At least, that was the plan.
Things sort of changed she noticed the silence from the back of the bus.
The people had spoken, grumbled about the slow pace and again as the buses collided. It had been a small accident, there was no way any of them could be injured, right?
Maddie looked back. Everyone was slumped forward in their seats, not moving, and not even seeming to breathe.

Hey Death! :)

Doing homework . . . but I'll enjoy reading it. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

((Thanks, Star))

A minute later, Kyle's bus pulled up beside behind them.
"Maddie," he said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, "It's okay. We went back in time to fix things once, we can do it again."
Maddie nodded mutely, a tear slipping down her cheek.
They walked to the other side of town, leaving the dead where they were. The only living person they passed was a confused-looking homeless man, who looked surprised to see anyone alive, and shocked when Maddie mentioned the water. He thanked her politely, and walked off in the opposite direction.
Maddie and Kyle went to the mayor's house. Mayor Quinn wouldn't remember helping them before, of course. That future had been unwritten. Maybe if they explained what had happened...
There was no answer when they knocked on the door, so they opened it. Once they got to the time machine hidden in the attic, it wouldn't matter if they'd technically trespassed. Maddie didn't think it qualified as breaking and entering as technically they hadn't broken anything. The door had been unlocked.
Mayor Quinn's body was in the kitchen, slumped forward on the table, her nose in a glass of water. Her orange cat was dead, too, by its food bowls.
"Is it something in the water?" Kyle wondered.
"Well, that's a good place to start."
They headed upstairs to the time machine.
Whirrrrrrr click-click-click-click-click swooooooooosh

My dad said that when he was at school he had this teacher who just used to go one and on about stuff, and once, at the beginning of the lesson, someone put their hand up and asked what the French word for light was. Apparently, he went through every single way you could use that word, and he was still talking when the bell went at the end of the lesson.

Omg I just woke up from a creepy dream

If you read last night what I said to John this is my dream dont ask how

It was the Christmas Eve Ball and I persuaded Nic to let John out for a dance and we did dance and it was sweet but John was letting Nic back out and it wasn't Nic it was Alastair and at that moment I was closest and well Christmas Eve got violent....*shudders* It was so real and creepy!

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: That sounds kind of cool and scary. :)

Hi!

And hi Rhydian!

Sorry I poofed. Lunctime, and then I was tidying my room.

Tidying is so ridiculously easy. You just dunk a load of stuff in cupboards and under my mini sofa thing (or your bed, if you have a bed next to the floor rather than the ceiling).

#ChaseForBookNIne

Star Inkbright said...

Sometimes I think I just don't know anymore.
Then I realise that I never really knew in the first place.
What don't I know?
I don't know.
Maybe that's why I don't know.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And sometimes your brain just thinks "What the hell" or whatever, and it's just stating that you don't know.
But saying it won't help you know.
And your questions will never get answered, partially because you don't know the questions.
So in order to know . . . you would have to know the questions.
But how to find them out when you don't know what you're looking for or how?
And if you did find out . . .
Your brain can't handle too much information
We can only comprehend so much
Therefore, we're destined never to know.
And maybe that's a good thing.
But I don't know, do I?

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Lewis: *cries* Crying? That's new. Real tears as well...thats new

Star Inkbright said...

And when the questions are the answers . . .
Maybe there are no 'questions' and 'answers'.
What is there, really?
We don't know.
We're just all tangled up like my profile picture and we go around and around not knowing, and even when we think we know something, how do we know we know it?

In Chaos Walking . . . everyone can hear everybody's thoughts. Except human women. They have no Noise.
Viola was learning how to be a healer. Mistress Coyle asked her, in a teacher test-question way, why there was a distinction between doctors (men) and healers (women) and why there are different buildings or something. Viola said, in a answering-a-question-in-a-science-test way, that it was so the patient could choice whether to hear their doctor/healer's thoughts or not.
Then Mistress Coyle asked her, "And what's the real reason?"
And Viola said, "Politics."

We're taught all this stuff in science, and if we lived on the New World, then we'd learn about the doctor/healer thing like we learn about cloning and stuff. But our science teachers don't tell us that the real reason is often politics.

In Nazi Germany . . . schoolchildren were taught to hate Jews. They were given pictures of scenes and were told to point out the Jews.
We just blindly accept that our teachers in school are telling us the truth, but we don't know.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*you can't hear the human women's thoughts

They can hear other people/animal's.

*watching the roleplay*

And I dedicate one of my undedicated pages to . . . to whatever is good about this not knowing thing.
But I can't say what it is directly.
Because I don't know.

#ChaseForBooknine

Star Inkbright said...

My brain doesn't like not knowing.

It likes thinking and analysing and deciding things and then having strong (although changeable) views on them.

And when it doesn't know.

The system sort of just sits there, mystified, telling me that I don't know.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And the words "I don't know" and "What the actual hell" and "What the fuck" just circle endlessly around my head.

My head is a goldfish bowl. *smiles*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

My head is a goldfish bowl, and I'm stuck inside it.

I just don't know anymore.

I've said a load of stuff, and that was me trying to understand my not-knowing-ness and sort itself out, but I will never know. Probably. And I had to say that for clarification, but what is clarified, really?

Ah, dammit.

And you know when you're just feeling something and then you think you aren't and then you just get so doubtful and then you're just like "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THIS NON-ISSUE" and then you try and move past it and then it just comes back again -

"Circles
We're going in circles
Dizzy's all it makes us
We know where it takes us
We've been before"

And out of all the damn things to know, out of all this undiscovered world, why are we wasting brainpower on thinking the same things over and over again and not knowing?????

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Well, of course I don't know that, do I?

And for someone who's such a not-angry person, or so they think, I seem to be spending an awful lot of time being angry atm, don't I?

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now. BYE!

Star Inkbright said...

But then why am I angry?

Of course, I don't know, do I?

And why the HELL am I just wasting comment after comment on thinking about nothing?

And then I think that's stupid.

And then I'm wasting this comment on writing that it's stupid.

So why am I writing?

Maybe because I want to be acknowledged because I'm just an attention-seeking person.

Oh.

Um.

That makes sense.

But then again, if I post this, isn't that asking for people to tell me I'm not an attention-seeking person?

And if I clarify that I don't mind, then isn't that just adding more stuff around it that makes it bigger and more noticeable?

I can't win.

Because I don't know how to.

But knowning how to might be bad.

It feels like it's bad.

If I knew everything, I would be SO BORED. There'd be nothing for me to analyse. XD

SO WHY ARE YOU GETTING SO ARGH ABOUT IT???

Argh, dammit.

Star Inkbright said...

The problem with society's been
How do we teach
And if they'll believe
We'll fight this battle for years to come
Till we all accept that we can stand on our own

Grandfather used his hands, he worked them to the bone (worked them to the bone)
Provide his family with a happy home
Alone . . .

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be

This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

You don't wanna be, they never say
But don't call us the liars

We've walked these alleys a thousand times
And scattered around a thousand lies
They are trying to hold you down
Your life may be hard
But keep your feet on the ground

Why don't I have the finer things that others have?
The chance is there if you want it all that bad
So bad . . .

Don't take your aggression out on me
My own man is all I'm meant to be

This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

Don't try and get me confused
(Coz I do understand)
And sometimes people need help
(That they may need a)
Hand when this problem's going on
A thing you have to get straight
Is that you don't own my hand
And I don't owe you a thing
So don't think about how sorry you feel
And how you're treated so bad

This common place is so lazy, old, and tired
All your ideas are so fucking uninspired
Takes more than one idea
More than one person to fight the fight
How many times have you taught and not conspired?

And as we race we look back and we've come so far.
While some may conquer, the others had it so hard.
But in this day we just complain while there's no one for us to fight.
I guess we're bored and it's how we keep us occupied

IT'S SO ANNOYING I HAD LIKE TEN HOURS OF SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST AND LIKE SIX LAST NGIHT AND THEN I'M LIKE WHY YOU NOT EVENIGN YOURSELF UP.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*Shrugs* Such things happen. It depends on what you were doing before sleep, and if you fell into REM or not.

Also- yay for Christmas trees!

Star Inkbright said...

Yay! :)

Hmm. Well, both times, I'm pretty sure I was thinking and making up stories and playing Minesweeper (it's just become this thing I do now. I lie there in bed trying to get to sleep, I play Minesweeper, and then I try to get to sleep again.) Both times, I dreamt. Quite detailed dreams for me, and I don't dream incredibly often, so it was pretty cool . . .

Msd.

How're you? :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I want to be trying to go to sleep and playing Minesweeper now . . .

It isn't really the same in the daytime when there's things to do and it's not dark and you don't have your duvet on top of you.

I love duvets.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

ONE DIRECTION?

Noelle said...

Staring at a bright screen before sleep stimulates the brain and tricks it into believing that there is still daylight, thus giving the body extra energy to stay awake...

And I'm alright- I have my entire day planned out for my projects and homework. I plan on finishing at 9PM:

8-12: Biology
1-3: Ethan Frome
3-5: Rough draft
5-6: Map Quiz
7-9: News Article

Noelle said...

Duvets are comfy...

Hello, Mara

Star Inkbright said...

Earlier, when tidying my bedroom, I was finding all these socks lying in corners, and I was chucking a load of them out of my bedroom because they were "socks that just ain't mine," and I thought that phrase without realising and then I was like AVENGED SEVENFOLD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Helloooo.

I'll make myself disappear now.

Byee.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Yay!

Not yay that you have stuff to do, though! D:

@Mara: Hello! :) Yes, One Direction. :)

And - meh. Half of me believes that if I wake myself up fully again, then I'll find it easier to go to sleep than if I just spend ages lying in a semi-conscious state (*starts singing that Madness song, one of the ones on the CD in our car, the depressing one*)

Um . . .

Yeah.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: Aw. :( Fours . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Oh, bye Mara, then. *nods*

Star- the work has to be done eventually, and I woke up at 8:30 by accident... Oops.

Star Inkbright said...

Not the depressing CD or the depressing car, the depressing song.

Plus, if I'm making up a story, it's a good way of occupying myself so I can make it up.

When I'm properly making up a story whilst going to sleep, the occupation factor usually involves violent tossing and turning.

Because I have to be doing something to make it up.

Walking is still the best occupation factor I've ever had. :) :) :)

Mad pacing foREVer.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Oh. :(

And - :(

You have too much work. It's evil.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

This profile picture is rather reminding me of intestines.

Maybe it's a bubble brain.

Ooh.

See, yours is all grey and squiggling, and mine is all . . . blue and squiggling.

But

IT'S BLUE.

:)

Star Inkbright said...

*squiggly

I typoed that TWICE. *facepalm*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Well... I suppose that's true. *Shrugs*

Thank gods I know how to write. I'm getting this one in no time.

*nods*

And... I think it looks like marbled blue colors, rather than intestines- like someone put a few different shades of blue beside each other, and ran a toothpick through them

Star Inkbright said...

Ooh. O_O

I like that interpretation. :)

Primarily, it looks like tubes to me. *shrugs*

The quality hasn't been degraded by uploading it, so . . . did you see my meteorite one??? Terrible, terrible.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Well, I'll like any of them- as long as it's blue. That's your thing, you know?

Star Inkbright said...

Yeah. :) *smiles*

When I'm not blue, my name doesn't really seem like mine.

Well, for some pictures it's cool, but . . . :)

Thank you. :) :) :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Ooh, hey.

(Sorry, it generally takes me a while to really settle on a profile picture. At one point I was just changing it every day for ages.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I mean, every day, for a lot of days. Not a lot of time every day.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*Curtsies* You're welcome. *Curtsies again*

Noelle said...

I ought to show you a picture that I found... I'll email it. You might like it :)

Star Inkbright said...

I'd forgotten about this one.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

CURTSYING. :)

*opens email*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Meh, might stick with the marbled intestine brain tubes.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

OOHYNESS. O_O

Why do SOME images get really de-quality-ified and others be fine . . . ?

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*Testing.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*Fangirls*

Star Inkbright said...

Hey, I like that one.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

ADRA . . . WHAT IS NOT WRONG WITH YOUR IMAGES?

WHAT GOES WRONG WITH ALL OF MINE?

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Too small. Can't really see it properly. Could be made less oblong, however.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Omg....

I don't know what's not wrong! MEH!

Star Inkbright said...

FUCK I just noticed my profile was saying I was male. *facepalm*

HUNTER KEEPS SCREWING IT UP.

WHen did I start swearing so often, anyway?

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

ARGH DAMMIT MY MUM WANTS ME TO HELP MY BROTHER MAKE THE TREASURE HUNT.

Msd.

(Ooh the word 'hunt' is similar to the word 'Hunter')

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Omg Star :P

Your inner male :D

Noelle said...

MOTHER-

*grumbles*

There is apparently something else I am supposed to do for homework. NOW, I must go adjust my schedule. *glares*

Noelle said...

Oh. Bye Star *waves*

((AWH :/ Bye Rhydian!))

Noelle said...

Wow... it sure is quiet today...

Star Inkbright said...

NOT HERE!

Going to a carol singing service in five minutes.

But hey - you know my awesome rubber?

My brother has an identical one, except he's barely used it so his is still a clean cuboid with "PGL" on it, and when we put out next to each other with the writing facing upwards, THE STRIPES WERE GOING THE OTHER WAY.

I have decorated my rubber UPSIDE DOWN.

*facepalm*

The writing is THE OTHER WAY ROUND.

Gahhhhhhhhhh dammit. :P

*bounces out to do leaving things like find socks*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Hello, bye Star! *hugs*

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

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey Zaf *hugs*

Noelle said...

*Adra is in the snow, making a snowman*
*She begins to throw snowballs at Mara's window*

((quite alright btw))

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

It's supposed to start at 3 here and then ice overnight....and tomorrow is Annie auditions so....I'm nervous if we get ice we won't have school the advisory is until 10am tomorrow....*sighs*

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

Nine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: Ashton... *mumbles*

Ashton: *cries loudly*

Harry: *is rocking Mackenzie* Jesus, twins are a lot of work.

Mara: *rolls her eyes* Understatement of the century. *hears something hit the window* *turns around* *smiles* *waves at Adra*

Noelle said...

*Adra lifts up a boom box above her head, playing 80's music*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Harry: *mutters* At least she's got good taste in music.

Mara: *laughs* *glances down at Ashton* Shh, shh...

Sir said...

*hears 80's music*
*frowns*

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

I dedicate this page to John Smith. I know I'll get eye rolls but....it's people like him who make a difference. If I recall his story correctly all he was doing was trying to use his magic to help people who used the earth power as the last resort. One day he had this insane guy come in, Nic, and steal his name. Now use his magic that he did good for people and now it was used to harm others. It's people like him who try to make a difference in the world that are true heros. I know he will die with the plan and I want people to know that in real life or RP there is always the good. Now I know John has met us briefy well more me then everyone else but still....just salute him for taking he's gonna die and not freak because I'm sure many people would. And to die twice...

Noelle said...

(Hello, Sir!)

*She accidentally drops the boom box into the snow, and it short circuits, and catches on fire*
*She looks down*

Noelle said...

*she takes a step back*

*Shouts up at the window* THIS WASN'T PART OF THE PLAN

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

*walks down* IF YOU IGNITE- *a few explosive trees near the fire go off*

Sir said...

*sighs as the music ceases*

Noelle said...

((I wasn't near any trees wtf :P))

Noelle said...

*The boom box explodes*
*Adra goes flying through the air*
*She keeps flying*
*She lands on Sir, despite the fact that he might be miles away*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: *yelps* *jumps away from the window*

Harry: Oh, for fuck's sake.

Mara: Harry! *scolds*

Harry: Come on, outside. *grabs her hand*

Mara: But the twins coul-

Harry: Mara, if you bundled them up anymore they would suffocate. Come on. *runs outside with her*

((hear hear! *raises class*))

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

*bangs head into an explosive tree causing the tree to go off* GOD DAMN IT!!!

Ravel: Zaf let's not explode Ireland

I'm gonna explode Iceland

Ravel: is there a Sanctuary there?

Not sure

Ravel: well okay

*explodes Iceland*

Noelle said...

*Rolls off*

Hello, Sir! Long time no see1

Noelle said...

*!

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

Hullo.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((Oh, poor Reykjavik. Zaf have you any idea what you've done??))

Noelle said...

((Hey Fabi! *hugs*))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((only half a blue sky
kinda there but not quite
walking round with just one shoe
i'm half a heart without you
i'm half a man at best
with half an arrow in his chest
i miss everything we do
i'm half a heart without you 🌸))

Sir said...

...
*blinks*
*and looks between Ms. Dark and the Louvre*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((Fabiiii :)) *hugs*))

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

((Seattle and Reykjavik are sister cities))

((Hi [hugs]))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Pats his shoulder* It's okay. It's consolation to me that at least a year ago you thought I was cool.

*She nods*

*Suddenly, a dark figure comes out of nowhere and tackles Adra to the ground, and they go rolling down a hill*
*out of sight, there is a muffled shout* PRIYA WHAT THE HELL

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Fabienne.

Noelle said...

((What?

They're close to being on opposite sides of the globe... Hmm..))

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

(What did I do?

Noelle said...

(You said Iceland, not Ireland. Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland)

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

((I still don't have a pic for Effie. Need to fix that.))

((Um, I think that's the point of sister cities, connections across the globe.))

(('Cause the other ones are Christchurch, New Zealand; Galway, Ireland; Kobe, Japan; somewhere in Norway; and a lot more.))

[Appears in Blogland, wearing earmuffs and a warm coat and stripy scarf.]

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

...
*Slowly sighs, and begins to walk down the hill*

Noelle said...

((Hmm.. The more you know, I suppose. Interesting.))

*Priya and Adra are nowhere to be seen*

*Muffled shouts*

Sir said...

*follows the shouts*
Hrm...

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

[Heads towards the noise, dragging along what looks like a pirate ship. Considering the way several trees and snowdrifts pass through, it, though, it's probably an illusion.]

[Also, Effie isn't that strong]
