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?)

*gives Zafira a smug look*
I know these things. Trust me. Scorpia is where it's at.
*angrily wipes down the swing chains and begins to swing*
*She half shrugs, pulling out a glass of wine*
I swear if you're lying....*takes out phone and walks away making a phone call and comes back a few minutes later* one less headache, thank you Oscar.
*smiles slyly*
That's what I'm here for, Kerias.
*phone buzzes in his pocket*
*he's received a text*
*his smile broadens*
Yes, THANK YOU, Kerias.
*glances at Adra*
. . . Do you just . . . produce glasses of wine from nowhere?
You didn't see it, but I pulled it from my bag. *She sits on a swing as well, finding that this one, too, is too tall for her*
*She grumbles*
Ah. I see.
*swings listlessly back and forth*
*She finishes her glass, putting it to the side, and easily scaling one side of the swing to the post horizontally above them, to which the swings are hooked on to*
*She sits up there*
Do you need help with this date, Oscar? *smirks* I do live in New York City when I'm not in Blogland
*looks up nervously*
Erm . . .
*decides to let it go*
*sits there, on the swing*
*takes out his phone to check the text he got*
Help? No . . . no . . .
*seems distant*
*not really paying attention to Zafira*
I dated . . . Queen Elizabeth I . . . I'm not a total nov . . . ice . . .
*reading the text*
*his eyes pop open in shock*
*Adra sighs, checking her phone as well*
*eyes widen* Oh god...*hangs upside down from monkey bars* Ha Olivia does this! Must be from me...
*SUDDENLY*
*Oscar leaps out of the swing*
*laughing*
*and spinning around*
*like a toddler with an ice cream cone*
Ha ha aha HA HA AH AHHAHA!
*gasps for breath*
MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
*delightedly spins around in the snow*
*snaps his phone shut*
*dances back to the swing set*
*and hugs Zafira*
YOU.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL, YES YOU ARE!
Oh gods black market hype
*yelps being hugged hugging Oscar back slightly dazed* I-I am? What have I done!
*lets go of Zafira*
*looks dizzy with excitement*
YOUR SANCTUARY!
*coughs*
I mean, your Sanctuary! All those fantastic justice-crazed American sorcerers!
*dances around in glee*
Your boys surrounded the Scorpia compound in Chicago and crushed it into dust!
*cackles madly*
No one is left! They're all dead! H-h-half of Scorpia's power was in that compound! They've been c-c-c-crushed!
*hyperventilating*
The League doesn't have the kind of magic the Sanctuaries have! We couldn't have done this by ourselves! Scorpia has fallen! Scorpia has fallen!
*laughs*
*claps hands*
And the League is swooping in to take EVERYTHING they have left! EVERYTHING!
*leaps into the air*
BOO-YAH! THE EVIL LEAGUE OF THE EVIL HAS FINALLY CONQUERED SCORPIA!
You're like a child-
*Her phone rings, and she opens it, her face falling*
...be right there.. *She closes her phone, leaping from the swing set*
*Said distractedly* Excuse me...
*She runs for her lab*
W-w-we're the only ones left, now!
*dizzy with excitement*
The only one! We crushed all the little super villain undergrounds already! It was between us and Scorpia. And we beat them!
*cackles madly*
We beat them! Thanks to you, Zafira Kerias, oh, I could kiss you!
*flops heavily into a swing*
*still giggling with delight*
I'm the most powerful damn super villain in Blogland and all other dimensions thereabout!
And the key, the key! Scorpia is dead, and we have found the key! The key to the weapon! The key to my salvation! The key to happiness and villainy and all the good things in life OH MY GOD I CAN HARDLY STAND IT!
*squees like a teenage fangirl*
Wait...woah....so I just sent my guys in to crush villians and isn't your group villians? Because...my guys were told to keep all villians out of the compound...and please I am engaged to Ravel so unless you want one of the Dead Men after you
(Omg)
*She skids to a halt to see Kerra standing beside a woman and a dark figure in the snow, the red blood melting the frozen snow around it*
*Adra dashes for them*
We've got the KEY, we've got the WEAPON, we've got the POWER, we've WON! We've WON! Ah-ha!
*looks like he's about to faint from lack of adequate oxygen*
Finally I can show her! Show her I'm worth it! Ohhhh, I've got all the cards now! I'm the new cancer! Never looked better! And she can't stand it, can she!
*laughs in delight*
Oh, she'll love me now, she'll love me-
*stops abruptly*
. . . We've WON!
*laughs again*
OMG, ZAFIRA.
*punches her playfully on the shoulder*
We're not VILLAINS. We're SUPERvillains. There's a difference. And we're not STAYING in the compound, c'mon! That play stinks of the putrid stench of Scorpia! Nah, we've just sent in a few recon officers to take a few bits out.
*sighs*
*stars in his eyes*
. . . Like the key!
*looks at Oscar completely freaked out not used to the scene unfolding* Yes....very good...
supervillians?! *looks like I'm ready to faint* Oh good Lord what have I done? Oscar do you realize we work to protect the mortals from people wishing to harm them?
*snaps fingers*
Ah-ha! The Copper Lounge!
*She kneels next to a young lad, and freezes*
Oh...Hell.
*Adrian's hair is mattes down to his neck, covered in blood as his skin has become paler than hers*
What the hell! *She immediately puts pressure on a huge gash across his chest, ordering for Kerra to her supplies*
*Adrian's dark eyes flicker to her, fear swirling in them* You...Still....Care...
*She shushes him* Don't speak, Adrian. I'll fix you up.
But...I hurt...you..
*She looks him in the eye* You're my son, Adrian. I couldn't hate you- I'd sooner hate myself. Now shhh..
*Adrian falls silent*
*watches this unfold* This is slightly shocking...I'm going to hope your League stays away from mortals as I can then go about my day happily and not worry, for a while that is.
*Kerra is back at her side, and they quickly part his shirt, looking at the injuries* *Kerra mutters something, and Adra nods in agreement with her*
*Adra looks at Adrian, worried*
*The woman who was with Adrian has backed away, crying silently*
*Kerra and Adra start to close up his veins and severed arteries*
The Copper Lounge!
That's the name of the French restaurant!
*laughs*
Oh, could today get any better?
Oh, oh really?
*gets off the swing*
We're super villains. Our business is sorcerers, but I'm afraid the end of the world may cause any amount of collateral damage amongst the mortals.
(By the way, I posted that Oscar Neurotic / Cabin Pressure crossover that I wrote a while back on Superfluous Adventures, for those of you who missed it. I had way too much fun writing it.)
Oh god you guys want world donination?! Do you realize Mevolent tried and ended up dead.
*Adrian, after a moment, begins to twitch and convulse*
Kerra, that's cardiac arrest...
*Kerra nods, and begins to work on that, as Adra moves quickly*
*Adra growls* We're not going to have enough time...
*eyes rest on Adra* Adra if he really needs it I can revive him or use the symbols I've used before to heal him...
*looks genuinely appalled*
World domination? Oh no no no no no! We only want to dominate THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!
No, no, I kid.
We want to END the world, not destroy it.
And in all likelihood, we won't even succeed in ending the world. That is, if things go according to plan and a certain . . . lovely young heroine . . . come to stop me ending the world, and in the process sees that I am a very dynamic and capable super villain . . .
*sighs*
Yeah no I like living I'm afraid I'll have to step in and stop the end of the world.
*raises hands mockingly*
Oh no, what on earth am I going to do? One little sanctuary against my world-wide underground criminal empire of murder and sass. I don't stand a chance.
You're forgetting who I am, Oscar. I have friends in other countries, Cradles....England Germany France Ireland Africa Australia Iceland...you forget I'm a Supreme Council member. *smiles innocently placing my phone in my pocket which had been showing the entire reveal of the Evil League over the Global Link*
(Er...Zaf, I'm a bit of a way from you)
Kerra...
*Adrian falls still*
Kerra!
*Adra looks up at the Amazonian woman, who is staring down at Adrian, his eyes glassy, and wide open*
*The woman who was watching begins to scream*
*Adra gets to her feet, doing her best to comfort the woman* *She woman falls at Adrian's side, helplessly clutching at the lapels of his jacket, sobs racking her body*
*Adra bites her lip, shoving any and all feelings she has down*
(Right well if you want Zaf to bring him back if he's dead it isnt a problem for her
Ha! So you've been broadcasting this over global link. Who cares? We've been running TV spots for the past nine months. Did you like the one where we ransomed Canada?
*nods impressively*
The American Government, yes, those Mortal puppets you Sanctuary officials play with, gave us 5.2 million Euros for that little heist.
*shrugs*
What can I say?
We're a bit of a global presence.
*Kerra leans over, whispering something in Adra's ear* *Adra closes her eyes in agreement*
*Adra walks to the woman, and tentatively takes her arms, pulling her away from Adrian*
Please... You need to stand back.
*The woman screams, thrashing, but Kerra picks her up easily, holding her back, doing her best to shield the woman's eyes*
*Adra lights a match after pouring a little oil around Adrian in a alchemical symbol* *She throws the match down*
*There is the smell of burning flesh mixed with sage*
((I appreciate she offer, but it is more complicated than that..)
You....*looks stunned
*does jazz hands*
I TOLD you my empire was built on murder and sass.
*Kerra pulls the woman back into the lab, shutting the door behind her*
*Adra is left standing, and staring at the burning body of her only son*
Morning.

(Hullo, Star. I just did a role-play full of Oscary cuteness.)
Oh dear god...*buries head in hands* Don't kill me
(Hi Star!)
*Adra sits down with a sigh, scratching her head*
*She feels slightly sick to her stomach*
*Wishes Trip were there*
Zafira, Zafira, of course I won't kill you! You're the secret of my success! Or at least those lovely American boys of yours are.
Though I'm going to retract my statement about kissing you.
Don't be offended.
((I saw. I generally read back in the comments...))
((Hi people! [waves and hugs]))
#ChaseForBook9
*Pulling the sleeves of her sweater over her hands, she crosses her arms tightly against the cold*
*She tries to think*
I do not take offense. And you are not getting far with this at all!
@Anni: I saw. :)
#ChaseFOrBooknine
Well, maybe YOU can't! Not with that attitude.
*pulls out his mobile*
*flips it open*
Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have a lovely secretary in tight leather waiting for me at a French restaurant.
*strolls off*
*calling his office*
*and scheduling an end-of-the-world party*
((Does Oscar not realise that he's PART of the world?))
((Ending himself seems not that smart.))

@Anni: I know, but still. :)

(Oh, damn and blast. Doctor Precocious isn't around to play with her friend Mister Ioux.
*looks very sad*)
((Which reminds me, how do you pronounce "Ioux" again?))
*Adra doesn't look up, or move from her spot*
((My apologies, Ms. Barnosky. I shall attempt to return at a more convenient hour sometime in the near future.))

(Sorry it was Mom's rip my closet apart day
*looks at in utter shock* Oh lord
(Oh, that's quite alright. It's only that I'm Oscar today, and I will probably be forced to depart soon.
And I believe it's eee-ooh-k-sss?)
EZTER HAVE A SONG.
Sorry, it's just hitting me again. :')
#ChaseForBookNine
((Fabi: "Mister Ioux" is based off of the French "Mysterieux," I just typoed the first time and it stayed that way... I mean I intended to change the y to an i because "Mister," but....yeah. So kind of like "ee-u?"))

(A few days ago, I had to write a poem for a class I'm taking. The problem is, I have a strong aversion to poetry, so it didn't come out as well as it might have. May I post it here and y'all can let me know what you think?)
((Hmm. I see. That's rather clever, Fabi.))
*Adra feels herself become dizzy, and she falls back against a rock, sitting down*

I'd love to read what you've come up with. :) ^^

((Hi, Taia!! *hugs*))
((Certainly, Ms. Barnosky.))
((Hello, Ms. DeMars.))
((Fabi: Sure, Anni. Hi Taia! [hugs]))
#ChaseForBook9
(Hai Taia)
*feels extremely afraid and backs away walking to the treehouss* Oh my god
(*a darkened stage*
*suddenly*
*a spotlight beams down on Annika*
*she is wearing a black beret*
*and emo makeup*
*and is holding a set of bongos*
*and is sitting on a wobbly wooden stool*
*she coughs*
*and begins to recite the poem*
*in a slow, moody tone*
Quiet today
Silky sunlight dripping down the window
Golden light in the afternoon
Clink-clink
Teacup clicking sharply on the bone china plate
And honey dripping from a slick silver spoon
The kettle coughs and chants
Demanding to be removed from the heat
He obliges wisely, then leaves it lying there
and throws open the billowy curtains
waving at laughing children on the street
Pours a cup of tea as the clock strikes four
Melted chocolate dripping down a soft treat
He cuts it, sits, and mixes syrup and honey
Into his bone china cup and takes time to eat
Everything stops for tea, so they say
He’d rather be working, instead he silently sips
Takes his time, enjoys the tart taste
And sweet molten chocolate on his lips
Nearly four thirty by the time he’s through.
He stands and stretches, wishes he didn’t have to go
The willowy curtains still wave in the sun
Their downy cotton rippling drowsily
He licks the last of the chocolate and honey
from the silver spoon before he lets it drop
He returns to work, swipes every trace he was there
Wipes every drop of red from every slippery spot
Not so quiet tomorrow
Silky sunlight still drips down the window
Glowing light of the morning
Clunk-clunk
Heavy footsteps of men who think they’re clever
As scarlet lights blink quick slits in the light outside
They look at the scene where she was struck down
There’s not a drop of blood that they can see
But still on the table a bone china cup
And they wonder why the killer stopped for tea)
((Wtf bongos?))
*Adra feels her forehead with the back of her hand* *She takes a deep, slow breath, noticing the charred skeleton in the ground, still smoking lightly as the rest of the flesh chips away from the stark bone* *Her stomach heaves*
(That's just eerie Anni)
*hugs Adra back* Hey! :)
Judging by all of the brackets, I figure y'all're role-playing - D'you have a plot running, atm, or is it otherly?
G'day, Mister Loux! *beams* It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. *offers a cookie* I love the bouncing kitten, by the way - Fabi's pretty great like that. :)
Hiya Fabi! *hugs back*
Hey, Zaffy! :)
#ChaseForBook9
(*speaking in a surfer-dude accent*
Don't you be hatin' on the bongos.)
(Well, Taia, I was doing some role-playing with Adra and Zafira, as Oscar. However, I believe I am through with role-playing today. Or at least for now.)
@Anni: Sure. :)
Oh, btw -
People.
Well, in English, Sir said he'd have an optional extra session at lunch as we missed two lessons this week, and next week we're doing a controlled assessment, in which we spend an hour (that is way not enough time) writing a narrative. It's the second time we're doing this. We did it in year nine. For some reason, they're making ALL of us do it again. Even though I got an A* last time and I can't exactly improve my grade. We've been using exactly the same powerpoints as we did in year nine, being told exactly the same examples, doing exactly the same tasks (annotating, ending and beginning exactly the same example stories) and being told exactly the same information as in year nine. I still have my English book from year nine and I have a good memory. I've just been sitting there in the past few lessons wondering what the point is in me being there.
Anyway, the extra lunctime session. Sir kind of decided that most of us were going to be there.
Then, he was kind of like YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE UP YOUR LUNCTIME OR ELSE.
And I was just thinking fuck no, you can't make me.
And he went down the register and read out our names, and you said "Yes" if you were coming and "No" if you weren't, and only like five of us said no, and I was one of them, and then he was like "Right, I'm coming around and asking you why you aren't coming." And he didn't say "why the HELL you aren't coming", but it was implied.
And I basically told him I just didn't want to go.
And then he's like "Right, well you have to get someone else to peer-assess it then, and when you drop your draft of on Thursday you can tell me who's going to peer-assess it for you."
So . . . would one of you lot be so kind as to read through this draft when I've read it and give me a strength and a target or whatever? C:
I realise it's a bit selfish of me to ask, but hey, it's a bit selfish of Sir to make me. You could argue he's only doing it for my own good, but as I pointed out to him, I got an A* last time I did this narrative. I don't really think I need to worry. :P
Plus, I was angry. I am an emotional person. Some days I can't stop laughing, some days I'm just sitting there crying, and some days I sit there being angry. He got me on an angry day. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
(I'm just not sure now with Zaf I'm probably gonna have someone come visit maybe...someone people probably hate)
(Er...no, Not really. I had to do something real quick but not a huge plot.)
*written
@Annika: That is AWESOME. :) :) :)
Seriously. :)
I like how you sort of don't know what's happening and then you find out, but you sort of guess something's happening/going to happen because of the way things are described, and it's just really GOOD. :)
Hemingway, Taia. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
You know . . . it doesn't really seem like me, to refuse to go. *analysis*
Damn moodswings. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(To be honest yeah I'm just doing stuff not sure what)
HEY GUYS.
WHERE WOULD I LIKE TO LIVE IN THE FUTURE?
I don't have a CLUE where I want to live in the future, but I'm doing this question because it's easier than "Where would you like to go to university? Which town? Why?"
*hides from it*
#ChaseFOrBookNine
*stumbles down the street*
*and she looks*
*as usual*
*truly awful*
*she is violently sleep-deprived*
*dark shadows under her eyes*
*her hair is a mess*
*her clothes haven't been washed*
*her lab coat looks to be on its last legs*
Seven . . . days . . .
*bloodshot eyes*
*half-drunk*
*sleep deprived*
*looks like a homeless person*
*or a hobo*
*or a junkie*
Seven . . . days . . .
*lopes down the street*
*sits down heavily on a park bench*
*runs hands through her long, gray hair*
Seven . . . days . . . left . . .
*looks thoroughly panicked*
I'm . . . losing . . . my mind!
I . . . am . . . losing . . . my . . . mind!
*screams at the sky*
I AM LOSING MY MIND!
(And, on that note, I must egress. Goodbye, all!)
(See we don't even have a lunch period, barely, like 26min so like they could never do a lesson in that much time. And I wouldn't go either I mean if you got an A* how do you improve that? You can't seriously improve and so you don't need practice to improve what already was deemed perfect and I'm assuming you're year ten?
Holy flying upside-down turtle cats, Annika. It's brilliant.
ssshhhhhhhhh-
Seriouslky.
Wow.
That's really great. Dark. Chilling. Powerful. And eerie and terrifying and goddamn I need to improve my vocab. (I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ADJECTIVES. D: )
But- but-
It's excellent. To me, at least.
I like it.
I can't say why, I'd have to think about that. My head's too blurry to think at the moment.
But there's something in the character and idk, I just yes.
It's awesome, basically. SKill.
*nods respectfully*
#ChaseForBook9
((Fabi: Eerie, yes. Weird, yes. But also kinda cool.))
((I was in the process of walking through Blogland in the snow, but there does not seem to be a major plot occurring presently.))

(Bai Anni)
((*Ruffles Taia's hair*))
Hemingway, Star! :)
@Adra&Anni: On the RP-related-replies - *nods* Okie. Thanks. I'll maybe make my observations, idk. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Yes. :)
@Zaf: We get 55 minutes for lunch. :) And he's just planning to do his session for half an hour, but he's going to start like fifteen minutes into lunch because he'll have to wait for people, plus I'll need a pack-up. :)
I didn't get full marks (I think I got 18 out of 20), and I believe there's ALWAYS room for improvement, but still, it's stupid. :)
HE JUST DOESN'T LIKE DEFIANCE, I THINK. :P
*hugs*
Yeah, I'm year ten. :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
((I'm afraid I shall be rather distant from this point onward.
As much as Ms. Fabienne would love to roleplay, she has things that need accomplishing.))

(I'm just making lunch I'm making tomato soup because I have a snow day again and yeah we're just like day 2! I kinda hope we have a delay tomorrow and I don't wanna end up having the Shrek field trip cancelled we get to see Shrek the musical
LANTERNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ON MY LAPTOP, WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TABS/WINDOWS OPEN ON A PROGRAM, THEN ALL YOUR TABS ARE SHOWN ON THIS WIDE BAR WHEN YOU HOVER YOUR CURSOR OVER THE THINGY.
Like: *holds cursor over the internet thing* *sees three small rectangles pop up, one showing YouTube, one showing wordreference.com, and one showing the blog*
*and on the blog window*
*there is a little bouncing kitty* :)
I mean, I can see it bouncing on the main window, but it's just so cool to see a little version of it bouncing on the screen selection/preview/view/whatever thing. :) It's just a kind of grey indistinct shape, beacsue it's relaly small, but its' there. :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Lol Star thats cool
*laughs*

ATTEMPT to learn?
Thanks. :P
WORDEREFERENCE.COM I LOVE YOU.
I mention how much I love wordreference.com around about at least every day now. XD My life is sad.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
@Zaf: Yes. :) Thanks. :)
*hopefully distonates now, because French*
#ChaseForBookNine
*lays curled in a ball* Hmm debating to watch a movie or no...
@Zaf: I would say it depends on the movies you are able to watch and on what your other options are. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star - I'd be totally happy to go through it. I don't know how good I'll be on advice, in general and also because blurry-head-day, but I could try, and, yeah.
I think that if you're happy that you don't want any more time on it, and you don't feel like another session is going to do anything else for you, then don't go.
If you think there might be something in it for you, then maybe consider it, I guess.
When we did our C/A on narrative, we had already done one in year 9. I got an A on that, and my teacher at the time was like "you used "passed" a few times, and "passed" is not a word. I've circled that and corrected it to "past" and no * becaUSE "passed" is NOT a word and I am MAD because SO MANY OF YOU DID THAT IT’S PATHETIC."
And I was like "YES IT FISHHOOKING WELL IS. DON'T TELL ME PASSED IS NOT A WORD BECAUSE BOTH PASSED AND PAST ARE WORDS AND THEY MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS AND ARE APPLIED DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT AND I AM CORRECT AND I WILL SHOW THIS TO YOU." (except less ranty and more um-actually-um squeaking.)
And she ended up going down to the head of English to prove that she was right and the head (who's my now English teacher) was like "wtf yes of course passed is a word."
AnD I was all "BAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAH."
But she didn't correct her corrections on my work.
Anyway.
My point was going to be that we weren't allowed to use those pieces in year ten, because I think they have certain C/A regulatory things, or, idk. Different title options, too.
Our teacher last year did not give us much teaching at all for creative writing. She went through some key points, similes, metaphors, write-what-you-know-in-most-cases-and-if-you-don't-then-it's-your-choice-and-fine-if-you-can-pull-it-off, that sort of thing. We had a couple of little exercises, write something following/relating to THIS.
And then it was just, here's the title choices, take one, write it. I'll go through what you draft, once, quickly, to check that it's alrightly. I think we had a week or two, overall. She never saw mine until after the C/A.
My point being that maybe an opportunity for a look-through with another person would be useful, and I think it's a good idea. BUt your writing is probably so great anyway, Star, I'm not sure that you'll need it terribly anyway.
And, um, yeah.
I’ve kind of lost track.
So many words. *shrinks* sorry.
But yeah, I’d try to help you out, if you’d like that. And, yeah. :)
#ChaseForBook9
((Fabi: [hugs back]))
((Fabi again: @Star :-) ))
#ChaseForBook9
Long comment is long.
Sorry 'bout that. :P
Especially, Star, because it appears that you're now trying to do French. Long comments don't help with French. :P
*ruffles Adra's hair back* :P
Bye Anni! *waves*
@Mister Loux: *grins* Personal taste, I suppose. I'll respect that.
I think cats are enjoyable, though. Especially when bouncing and tiny like that. :P
*hugs Fabiulous back* YUS. :3
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Thanks. :) Need to write it first, though.
And - teachers can be stupid sometimes. -_-
It's good she got told, though. :)
"I passed her the ball" - OF COURSE PASSED IS A WORD. :)
Well, the way it works with us is, we did our narrative once, and now we have to do it again and we're not allowed to resit it after this because this is our resit, and if we did better in year nine than in year ten, then our year nine mark will go through.
And I'm fine not having anyone read my narrative, but Sir says I have to, and I don't really like lying to people and are really, really crap at lying, so . . . :P
My writing actually sucks. :) But it's good in English-assessment terms, mostly.
The last time I did my narrative, it was about this guy who thought he was insane and then he got blown up. *nods*
And the thing is, he was so worried about whether or not he was going insane that he actually started going insane. XD
And then, you know, he died, so bye-bye to him. :)
*laughs*
This time, I think it's going to be about this girl who doesn't think she's insane and doesn't get blown up, even though she is insane and she thinks her house got blown up.
Although my plans in writing never really seem to come into fruitation. O_O

@Taia: I like reading long comments. :) And long comments do help with French when they're in French. Which yours wasn't. But it helped with my French anyway, because I say it did and I am a bubble and I am awesome. :)
@Lantern: Star. :-)
. . . I mean, Lantern. :-)
Sorry, real life habit. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Gosh, my poor friends.
Me in French today: *says I miss my old house, and only afterwards remembering I miss my old friends*
Me in German yesterday: *says the thing I missed most on holiday was the internet because I missed my online friends, and only afterwards remembering I missed my real life friends as well*
. . .
:P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star/Fabi: AAAAAAAAaaAHHHHAaaahhhhhHHHhh! THE TINIER KITTY IS EVEN TINIER. x3
@Star: *nodS* Coolio. :)
*nods again* She was thar like "I past her the ball" and nuuhhh. :P
Huh. Your writing ideas sound awesome, to me, whether stuck-to or not.
I didn't plan my narrative at all, I just wrote words. Or tried to. At the time, I was in a huge phase of BLOCKY-BLOCKY-BLOCKINESS and I could not string words together at all, and no ideas would pour outta me.
I tried all of the title choices, multiple times, but it was all mush. ANd I ended up with 'The Test', and it turned out to be a hospital test, in what I was writing, and the person goes to a waiting room and it's basically just an account of her sitting and moving and the people around and thoughts and feelings and observations and then she randomly trips over and feels like an utter idiot and goes into the room to get her test results & that's it. Very little time actually passes. Very uninteresting. But I don't think I dropped any marks in it at all, so, idk. I was OK with it in the end.
Yours sounds a lot more interesting, and fun. :P
ANd, y'know, planned. Eventful, maybe. Yeah.
*laughs*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh gosh Star....
@Taia: That sounds like it could be good, actually. :)
Our titles are so crap. The worst one is "Write a story ending with the words 'and that's why I'm never going to another zoo'", the second worst is "Write a story beginning with the words 'I'm not coming and that's the end of it!", the third worst one is "The New Arrival" and the best and last one is "Happy Day." Most people are making that ironic, although they're all making the 'happy' ironic, and I kind of wanted to make the 'days' ironic, but I decided it was too complex for a one-hour English narrative. My friend made both the 'happy' and the 'days' ironic, though. He story was about this man in this jail place, in all this blue light, and he'd forced himself to forget his whole past so he wouldn't feel guilty. However, then he decided to make himself remember, beacsie he was bored of cruiosu or whatever, so he was reliving the horror of that, and then he made himself forget again. The next day, he'd completely forgotten the previous day, and he did it again, and he just sat there for eternity going through the cycle.
I didn't read it, but it sounds cool. :)
And - haha, my ideas are kind of bad, and none of it be planned. :) Last time, I wrote out the draft and it went NOTHING like it was meant to, but it was cool, so I memorised it and boom. :)
Mental-blockyness SUCKS. :( It be suckyness. I be sorryness.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: *laughs* That's logical. BUt I don't speak French. THe most I can do is Travis lyrics. I'm pretty sure the Last Laugh of the Laughter features a fair bit of French.
*googles*
'It's the last laugh of the laughter
Sur la dernier page do chapitre
On the last day of the year
Ma vie
Tout ma vie
When the spotlight drifts away
Ma vie
C'est la vie'
And it goes on.
I don't know the literal meaning, but I could guess most of it, I think. But that's... yeah.
OH. I can also count to ten. I think.
It would, therefore, be a very repetitive long comment in French, if that's all I could say. :P
*laughs* I'm happy to help a bubble as awesome as y'are, then. :P
And, friends are great. But you see them and they're around and it's hard to think of things that are so always physically around you, kind of. Also memory is odd and it remembers some things and not everything because how could you retrieve every single thing all at once from the memory stores? So not remembering that is excusaBLE. Fine, I'd say. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Sur la dernier page do chapitre - on the last page of the chapter.
Ma vie - my life.
Tout ma vie - all my life?
C'est la vie' - it's life (that's a phrase Adra likes using. :))
And - yes, I suppose. :) I shall use that as my excuse. *nods*
I am awesome. :) Thank you for helping me in my quest to show the world how awesome I am.
Well, repetition is a literary device, so you know . . . XD
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: There were a couple of those starters / endings on ours. I don't remember the specifics, but they were really pretty awful. The titles are often so unyielding, it's hard to come up with things.
Your friend's idea sounds great, though. :)
Good luck in yours, anyways. :)
And, eh, I got through okay anyway. Getting out of mental blockiness is good, so it's yeah. :)
@Star again: Awesome, that's kind of what I always figured it as. I did know C'est la vie. And the last page of the chapter adds up, really, by appearance. But yeah. Thanks for that. :)
On teh awesome - Agreed. :)
*laughs* That it is. xP
#ChaseForBook9
I only know je m'apelle Adra...
Ana ismi Adra :)
@Taia: Well, well done on figuring. :)
The titles are CRAP. -_-
"Reflection" is a good title (by their standards), because it can be a literal mirror reflection or a metaphorical mirror reflection of a reflection of your life etc. and it's really broad and I THOUGHT THAT UP IN LESS THAN A MINUTE WHILST TYPING SOMETHING ELSE.
Come on, exam board. It's not hard.
I dont knows French
Je m'appelle Star. Je suis une bulle de savon, parce que je suis super, et je suis super car je suis une bulle de savon. Oui. Je suis un ami, qui s'appelle Adra, et elle est aussi super, mais elle n'est pas une bulle de savon. Adra connait que elle s'appelle. Adra est intelligent. Pourtant, je suis plus intelligent que Adra, parce que je suis une bulle de savon ET JE SUIS SUPER. TRES, TRES SUPER.

#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: *laughs* Sweet.
I can say "My life! All my life!" but not introduce myself. That's handy. :P
I do German and Welsh, no French, though. So I guess that's fair. :)
@Star: Reflection would be a pretty sweet idea. Awesome. :)
Maybe they choose terrible titles to see if people can make it seriously good, because making something that poor and difficult and NO into something innovative and awesome, that shows skill & understanding, I guess?
@Zaf: Me neither. :P
#ChaseForBook9
*J'ai
I am called Star. I am a bubble, because I am awesome, and I am awesome because I am a bubble. Yes. I have a friend called Adra, and she is also awesome, but she is not a bubble. Adra knows what she's called. Adra is intelligent. However, I am more intelligent than Adra, because I am a bubble AND I AM AWESOME. VERY, VERY AWESOME.
*laughs*
I had to look up the word 'bubble', and that was about it, I think . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*curls up hiding from French*
Hablo esapñol un poco y ingleis. Zaffy no habla French. *nods* Hace frio. Tengo no la escuela porque las calles son mal.
I thin I said that right
@Taia: Possibly.
But MEH.
And - I don't know any Welsh. :) So yes.
@Zaf: Yeah, but you know Spanish. :)
Wb, Lantern! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, I can say I'm awesome and say I'm a bubble, and seriously, what more do people need to know about me? :P
#ChaseFOrBookNine
No worries, Mister Loux. Welcome back. :)
@Fabi/Loux: x3
@Star: My guess: "I am Star. Jadajada-super-jada-super-something. Yes. There is an Adra. Adra is super something. And yeah. She's intelligent. It'#s a very intelligent Adra. She is VERY VERY VERY SUPER." :P

I like super better than génial. :)

Um . . . yeah . . . :P

Dico latine. Ego svm valde intellego. Tv vvlvnt tv diceris latine
@Star: *laughs* Your correct translation - that's great. xD
OH. I know potato.
Pomme de terre, right?
Literally, it translates to 'Earth apple', I think.
Tumblr teaches me well. :P
And, my Welsh-speak is poor, to say the least. :P
@Zaffff: Something Spanish, Zaffy doesn't speak French? *winces* :P
#ChaseForBook9
#ChaseForBook9
I speak a little Spanish and English. Zaffy don't speak French. It's cold out. I don't have school because the streets are bad.
@Taia: Yes! :)
Apple of the earth. :)
Funny French people. :) We have a very odd language, though, sooo . . . XD
Well, your Welsh-speak can at least be referred to as Welsh-speak. The closest I can get to that is non-existent-Welsh-speak. Apart from a few words I know form my dad. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: *nods* Aweosme. :)
@Adra: xD I'm not even going to try. :P
I used to know how to write "I want to be a mermaid" in Japanese.
Odd, since I never really did want to be a mermaid...
#ChaseForBook9
I think it was "I speak English and a little Spanish. I don't speak French."
@Zaf: Ahhhhhh. :) That makes sense. :)
Half of me wishes we didn't have school, but then I know we'd just have to catch up loads, so mehhhh. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: I think I'd kind of like to be able to speak Welsh, but idk. Not so much as a useful thing, but just for the fun of knowing things in another language. I'd try, but time and things. I can't really be bothered. It takes effort. I really don't know how much there is that I can say.
@Zaf: Oh, awesome. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I know what you mean. :) I asked my friend today (who did not care in the slightest, I was just thinking out loud) if, if you could do whatever you wanted with your life, would you do great things, or would you just kind of sit there? I said I thought I'd probably just ending up sitting there, and she said I'd probably THINK of doing great things, and I was like yes. :)
My point being, we often just cannot be bothered. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
((Fabi: Je parle anglais et un peu français, mais je ne parle pas espagnol ou arabe ou [Latin]))
((Ioux: Je parle français et anglais parce que je suis canadien.))
#ChaseForBook9
On my previous comment, I mean to say that because most people don't try AT ALL in Welsh because nobody cares because we're all forced to do it, however terrible our skills in the subject, they only teach very very simple how-to-answer-the-exam-questions-at-a-pass-grade-level. Only very simple sentences. Only what you need to know to pass. Nothing very useful. And we're not allowed to even take our books home, so Welsh short-course is basically restricted to one hour every week, only.
Learning Welsh as something to be able to actually use would therefore be work totally not in school, and I like the idea, but time consuming... I wouldn't know where to begin.
But maybe I would. Idk. ^^
#ChaseForBook9
Did that say canada
@Star: *tilts heaD* That's an great point, actually. Hm. Thanks. *smiles*
@Fabi/Loux: France and *squints* Canada? :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: :( That is just such a waste of time. If you're not learning Welsh properly, you might as well not learn it.
@Lantern: I understood all that! *happy dancing*
"I speak English and a bit of French, but I don't speak Spanish or Arabic or Latin." "I speak French and English because I am Canadian."
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: :)

@Adras: Ignore my dumb phrasing. :P I just mean congrats on the first. Sorry. xD
And - I'm told it means 'You are beautiful like a squid.'
But I don't recall the language it's in, just how to say it. :P

You'll be fine, I think, because you're you. Y'know?
And if you mess up an essay, you're still awesome, and there are other essays, and other things, and yeah. You still rule, either way, That's my point. You're you. :)
Good luckies, though.
#ChaseForBook9
Well- I wasn't forced to go. I wanted to. I'm glad I did- because I want to try to learn as much as I can. It's just a lot of work..

You know those moments when you just go "Who INVENTED wordreference.com?"
Well, it was Michael Kellogg.
CONGRATS TO HIM.
@Adra: Well, I think you certainly are learning. :) And the quest to learn is a good one. :)
@Taia: That is very true. :)

@Star: Thankies. :)
Hm.
My guess is that Derek's busy? He's got short stories to write, and book 9 to write and the future writings to plan, and probably other Derek-y things, AND other things that humans do because they're humans.
But, idk.
Hugs to Derek, whatever the case. :/ / :)
