The Button
This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.
And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...

You guys should come out here. We can't get rid of the snow. It's snowing right now, and everyone is already getting tired of it.
Ieni - Me is good, you? We broke up from school today - I'M FREEEEE, I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Looks like they were all - "Hmmmm. The Apocalypse didn't happen .... so I know! Let's annoy and scare the public by telling them ther is ANOTHER apocalypse!"
least the world didn't end :) thanks for that little story derek :) :)
Well wop dee doo enjoy your snow while we get drenched in rain here in Ireland.
Moira, send it to Norfolk and Suffolk! WE WAAAAAANT SNOOOOOOW!!
Oh, and *high five* Ieni, apocalypse surviving buddy!
Hey,I wouldn't mind some rain. Rain would be nice. It's too cold here.
Its snowing! Im home btw
Hey Zaf, you can go make snow angels while I find a way to play with rain.
I is meh, as always:) Same, here! We finished at 1:45, which was good, but I had a dance and french assessment, which was depressing.
Yay! Otherwise life would get pretty boring, if there wasn't one!
*high fives* back.
Actually, Moria, send it to East Anglia in general SO I CAN GET IT TOO! Yay!:)
I'm not sure what the weather is here. I think it's just being meh and not doing anything...
Eden, this is when we need to find a way to manipulate rain to make something ..........
Not enough snow :( ill make a snow angel when i can :D
Ieni, I had a Drama Devised Performance lessons 1 + 2, and everyone else was like YAaaaaaaay! Last Day! And my group and I were all Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sooooooooo scared!!!!
Maybe we can shoot, what's that chemical that freezes things on contact.
Well anyway shoot them into clouds so they become cold and cause snow to fall.
Hell....
We had classes then we went to see the volleyball game xD MY ENGLISH TEACHER WON
I think if I did it, I'd be in the 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh soooooooooooo scared!!!'
G2g - byebye

Aha, that was rather good.
Wow. What a day I had yesterday!
I went skydiving, screamed all the way to the bottom, went to the house of a cute guy that goes to my school, told him I'd always loved him (yes I'm gay, but not the feminine type. Blehh) He said he loved me as well, we made out and then I came home and chilled out in the pool even though it was freezing outside. YOLOOOOO.
But now I feel silly because the world didn't even end. But now I have a boyfriend. :>
WHY?! WHY?!
*Sobs*
WHY CANT I BE ON WHEN HE IS ON??!!!
That's nice
Gtg... Be on later... Maybe...
WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY BRILLIANT DAY? OPINIONS?

It's really CUTE!!
*Leaves for real*
He's a really good kisser as well.
Haha that's always a bonus
Im not contributing to what happened in your day because well you will flip out :L
Hey Mel
hey yeah if I make a comment you will die or try to kill me and I dont really want that to happen so...
Why? Why will I kill you?
no not you! ha I meant about the day bengt had...
Why will he kill you?
because all the comments I would make are lets say offensive... but mainly because the offensive scottish person inside of me is pouring out...
I'm really curious now Mel xD
you dont want to be, trust me I hate having so many mean, cruel and hurtful words inside my head DAMN MY SCOTTISH BACKGROUND. but the polite civilised person inside of me is telling me not to - thankfully ...
I think everyone has hateful thoughts. And everyone has a civilized brain telling them to shut up. Admittedly some people don't use theirs.
Im taking deep breaths to stop myself from being eaten alive, I have a very powerful sarcastic side and it has taken over half of my head...
Haha, you'll learn to control it. Trust me.
Im trying, its hard to do though ... *breath in* *breath out*
I give up I swear Derek ignores our pleas....
'Ello!
msd
*cries* The world hasn't ended yet!
ohh my head is spinning, I tell you its as if on half is fighting the other for control O_o
HI GRAND MAGE OF SCOTLAND! HAVE YOU BECOME A ZOMBIE YET?

You live your lives restricted by rules. Even your magic is restricted. Sorcerers treat magic like science. It's disgusting and unnatural. It twists what true magic is all about.
Okay, *blinks*
Sorry just think that line is so scary....it gives me the chills wondering who says it. Im kinda nervous for Book 8, war is scary and people die
HI PEOPLE!
The Morganville Vampires series. READ IT!!! NOW!!!!!
I'm halfway through the first book. So far, brilliant. *nods*
And I haven't died yet, but my voice has. I can speak, but I'm all croaky and protesting noises are beyond me. My protesting noises are high, you see . . . I can't do high. Or low. I can just about do a warped version of medium, and that is it. :P
I'MSOSADIHAVEN'TDIEDYETOMGG.
And . . . what else? . . .
OH! THE BUTTON! YES! BRILLIANTIO!
The Morganville Vampires series, don't forget. By Rachel Caine. And I love her name so much, omgg.
Hi!
Star is it normal to suffer from wanting to talk to Derek? I swear he hides on purpose. I think he's afraid of me
I didn't like Morganville Vampires. Mergh. I've got a sore throat too. Robin can't sing :(
Why not, Robin? *eyes book suspiciously*
Oh!! Wait if its getting taken down on the 22nd? Isnt that in 59 minutes? Technically if its tomorrow at midnight it'd be the 23rd in Ireland, someone doesnt know dates eh? Or am i making myself more confused?
*shrugs* I read HoN then Morganville didn't work so good.
No, Zaf. It's almost midnight on the 21st, not the 22nd. :)
It's technically the 22nd at midnight because it's 00:00
But then technically it'd be the 23rd.....DAMN IT!!!!
*shrugs*

Yeah, but the k is too annoying to add...
Zafira, you sound like Gollum.
OMG i was actually just gonna say that Seph...
A Necromancer just showed up in my game. WHY IS THIS SO HARD???
But but Derek would come on and use hos Elemental powers to kill us all! Punishment....PUNISHMENT! I dont wanna die, not til I get my job back
Oh yeah! Zaf, I wrote a story about why you're not Grand Mage. I'll copy and paste it, one second.
I will get my job back! Derek has to see sense!!! Has to....then again it is Derek...he doesnt often....
Persephone Grief knelt above the window. She had been hired to kill the American Grand Mage, Zafira Kerias. All she knew was that Bisahalini wanted to be Grand Mage, and that he had given her a lot of money. This assassination wasn’t like her usual jobs. Bisahalini didn’t know, but Persephone harbored a personal grudge against Grand Mage Kerias. The Necromancer was responsible for the scar that marred the left side of her face, and Persephone had waited a long time for revenge.
Persephone shifted in her precarious position. The ledge was very small, and she hoped Kerias would be alone soon. She didn’t want to take the chance of being outnumbered. The wind whipped Persephone’s short brown hair in her face, and she brushed it away with one hand, careful not to lose her balance. Kerias had been talking in the office with the Administrator, a user of symbol magic named Kestrel LeStarre, for a long time now, and Persephone was starting to get impatient.
At last, LeStarre left the room, but didn’t leave earshot of Kerias’ office. Persephone sighed and slid along until she was above the window of LeStarre’s current location. She turned herself invisible, and swung through the window. LeStarre turned at the noise, but saw nothing. Persephone kept an eye on LeStarre’s katanas, knowing their dangerous properties. Slipping up beside LeStarre, Persephone reached out and tapped her lightly between the bottom of her ear and her spine. LeStarre, whose hand had begun to reach for her dagger, crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Persephone took LeStarre’s daggers and katanas and moved them out of reach. Then she took off her belt and tied it around LeStarre’s wrists. As she left the room, she was careful to lock the door. With any luck, no one would find LeStarre until Persephone was long gone.
As Persephone stepped out into the hallway, a small man with a worried expression rounded the corner. She recognized him as Hector Gray, an Elemental. He stared at her in shock for a few seconds before pressing at the air. His hesitation had been all the time Persephone needed however, and she had her hands around his throat before he could stop her. She cut off his air supply, and after a few seconds, the man collapsed. Lifting Gray up, Persephone opened the door to the Grand Mage’s office. Kerias quickly turned and whipped a shadow at Persephone and Gray. Persephone swore as she tossed Gray in front of her and stepped to the side. Kerias must have heard LeStarre or Gray fall. Kerias’ shadows sliced Gray across the chest, and his blood sprayed against the carpet.
Persephone quickly turned invisible, and ran behind Kerias. The Necromancer heard her footsteps and turned around, shadows slicing across Persephone’s arm. It began to bleed, but luckily the cut was not deep. Kerias reached out to finish Persephone off, but she ducked beneath the blow and broke Kerias’ nose. Kerias screamed and pulled out her knife. Persephone brought the heel of her palm up against the side of Kerias’ head, knocking the Grand Mage off balance. As Kerias stumbled, Persephone twisted the knife out of her hand and stabbed it through the Necromancer’s eye and into the brain.
As the Grand Mage--no, the body--lay on the ground, Persephone knelt and yanked the knife out. Wiping the blade on the corpse’s jacket, she quickly slashed the left side of Kerias’ face.
“There,” she said. “Now we match.” As she stood up, Persephone could hear the footsteps of Cleavers coming closer. She smirked, and climbed out the window and down the side of the building.
When Persephone told Bisahalini that she had been successful, he gave her the payment, and thanked her for the service. As she took the bag, Persephone memorized Bisahalini’s face. Somebody would want him dead someday, and she needed to be ready.

:(
Jubi, it's so that anything that wants to hit me will hit you first.
I dedicate this page to the Mayans since they were wrong and are probably feeling pretty stupid right now since the world hasn't ended yet... So since they're probably feeling crappy, I wanna dedicate this page to them in an act of forgiveness for them being wrong and now they are happy...I think...
yeah
I didn't know who else t to dedicate this to...
*yelps*
*bites Zaf's hand off*
*slashes her chest*
.....I'm sure they feel much better now. Even though they're dead.
I'm being forced off the computer. I'll be back in twenty-ish minutes
*flips out sends shadiws straight to Em's chest*
Haha yes that was my intention... now they may rest in peace and.... whatever else happy dead people do...
