I'm saying nothing, Ivy.

Sparky Braginski said...

Val, what if your head got removed and then blown to pieces, hmm?

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Oh, I read you chapter six. It's really good.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

MIST IF YOU KILL ME I SWEAR I WILL DESTROY YOU.


Besidesssss, you said you wouldn't. That's why I agreed to be in it in the first place.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm up to Buried Alive.

Zathract Mist said...

*scowls*

I don't want to live. Because in that final battle, there is no way I would survive.

I'm still looking for a way around that and for a way to die as well as being able to finish telling the story.

Also, what are you talking about? *raises an eyebrow*

Anonymous said...

Can I appear out of nowhere for about five seconds and then get killed?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sparky, no need to announce to the world how to kill me. *glowers*

Zathract Mist said...

You'll have to wait and see, Val. But I think you already know the outcome to that.

Buried Alive. Great song.

Sparky Braginski said...

*elbows Zath*

E-mail, buttmunch.

But Val, how can he kill you if you're already dead?

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Can you like do that to me too?

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Meaning what Kes said.

Zathract Mist said...

Thanks SPD.

Kes, if you want to be in it, read the original Battle For Blogland post and leave your details there like I said.

You may be able to be in it, might not. I don't know yet.

Zathract Mist said...

And same for SPD.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Explosions. Very powerful explosions.

But you don't know that, because I didn't just tell you.

Anonymous said...

Okay. I shall do that.

Zathract Mist said...

Alright.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hey Kestrel, do you have more of your story I can read?

Zathract Mist said...

While it seems sick,
Sober up quick,
Psycho-lunatic,
Crushing you with HANDS OF FATE,
Shame to find out,
When it's too late,
But you're all the same,
Trapped inside,
INFERNO AWAITS,
And evil thoughts can hide,
I'll help release the mind,
I'll peal away the skin,
Release the DARK WITHIN!

*thinks*

I remember the old comment section... Oh, it was wonderful.


I just realised how much I miss it.

Sparky Braginski said...

... That's what I'm listening to.

Zathract Mist said...

See?

Psychic.

Sparky Braginski said...

*grins and messes his hair up*

Stone Sour.

Anonymous said...

Val, no, I don't think so. I've edited a bit of it, but...

I have to go now, bye!

Zathract Mist said...

Actually, Stone Sour's the band...

Bye Kes!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Kes!

Sparky Braginski said...

Tired, then.

...

Okay, I'm gone till I finish this book...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*examines story*

*nods*

Alright, not a single word written in chapter four yet. Okay.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Silence will fall...

Zathract Mist said...

Okay Sparky.

WRITE, VA

Zathract Mist said...

...

*VAL

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*arches an eyebrow* Va?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Good. You corrected yourself.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And I WOULD write, but I'm just so focused on watching this movie that I already have completely memorized.

Zathract Mist said...

Don't I always?

...Shut up.

Zathract Mist said...

Which movie?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The Nightmare Before Christmas.

It was my obsession before Skulduggery. Oddly enough, that obsession never faded.

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Zath, I'm having trouble typing the info. Meaning it won't let me comment. Can you copy and paste it into it for me?

Zathract Mist said...

Huh. Well, all the same... WRITE.

Sure, SPD.

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Thanks. I got the link up for you too.

Zathract Mist said...

Thanks.

Still not sure if you'll be able to be in it, but I'll work on it.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Mist, I changed up the ending a little bit for Chapter three. This is what it is now (practically the same, just worded better).

Anomaly grinned. “Cool. Now then, let's see what's making that obnoxious banging noise.”
Walking quickly to get out of the field, the two of them found themselves near Fremont in Seattle. As they stepped out onto the pavement, Ivy and Anomaly had to lunge to the side to avoid a screaming man who ran past, flailing his arms wildly. Making sure they weren't about to be trampled again, they began walking again at a brisk pace.
Ivy looked at her. “Did he scream 'troll'? Because that's what it sounded like to me. Why would he do that? I mean, there's the big troll under the bridge, but...”
They stopped in their tracks. “What if the troll came to life...?” Anomaly said, seeming half as though that'd be amazing and horrible at the same time.
“Well, that would be awesome, but I sincerely doubt that-”
Ivy didn't finish her sentence. She didn't get a chance, due to the alarming interruption.
A Volkswagon Beetle fell in directly in front of them, seeming to have been thrown, but clearly aimed at them. They stared at it in disbelief.
“What the...?” Anomaly asked in a shocked voice. She felt Ivy poke her arm. She looked at her. “What?”
But Ivy didn't answer. She just pointed behind Anomaly, who couldn't believe her eyes as she watched the Fremont Troll from under the bridge take a ground-rattling step.
Towards them.
“Oh, hell.”

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Cool, very nice.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh, great.

Zathract Mist said...

Glorious.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I was reading Mortal Coil earlier, and I think it was Ravel, but he said "glorious" and I almost got in trouble for laughing at it while other people were still taking tests.

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

I laugh a lot when reading a book and people just stare at me. I almost fell out of my chair once.

Sparky Braginski said...

*blinks at the book*

The f*ck? Didn't that chick die in, like, the first chapter?

Zathract Mist said...

*laughs*

Amazing.

Zathract Mist said...

She's a ghost, Sparky.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Amazing? Don't you think glorious is a better word?

Zathract Mist said...

That would just be weird.

ClockworkFallenAngel said...

Good night! It's early, but whatever. See you all sometime else.

Zathract Mist said...

Bye SPD.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye, SPD!

Sparky Braginski said...

"What?' I feel the panic rise again. 'You have zoms on the boat?'
'A small group,' Martha says. 'Around thirty individuals. Sevurly and humanelt kept. They pose no danger whatsoever...'
'Right!' Alice walks to the glass door. 'I want to get off this boat, and now, please.'
'There is absolutely no need for concern,' Martha says.
'That's what you said last time!' Alice screams at her."

Much as I hate Alice, I'm right with her on that one.

Sparky Braginski said...

... Damn my horrible keyboard. *Securely and humanely kept.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*scowls*

I hate not knowing what to write.

Sparky, have you read through chapter three?

Sparky Braginski said...

*laughs*

"'Alice is.'
Knock me down with a feather and call me Mavis."

Sh*tt*ng hell, I love these books.

Sparky Braginski said...

*looks at Val*

Huh?

*looks between Unfed and her*

...

Gimme a sec....

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*throws rock at the back of Mist's head*

Wriiiiiiiiiiiiittttteeeeeeeee.

Zathract Mist said...

*scowls*

YOU write.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*throws pencil at his face*

I can't. I lack writing utensils.

Zathract Mist said...

Pfft.

*dodges the pencil*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*throws a notebook at his moose head*

Zathract Mist said...

*glowers*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*laughs*

Zathract Mist said...

*seethes*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*takes photo of him seething*

For your embarrassment later on, Moose.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bed now, bye!

Zathract Mist said...

*scowls again*

Bye.

Sparky Braginski said...

Psst, Zath, I bought Buried Alive, Get Thru This, Run, Tired and Who's Gonna Save Us.

Sparky Braginski said...

And now, I'm writing again.

Zathract Mist said...

Excellent.

Sparky Braginski said...

Letum-Putro, right?

Sparky Braginski said...

Excellent.

Zathract Mist said...

Excellent?

Sparky Braginski said...

Very.

Zathract Mist said...

...Alright.

Sparky Braginski said...

I'm proud I could remember it, k?

Zathract Mist said...

Ah.

Make sense.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yes, it does.

Zathract Mist said...

*points to your blog*

Sparky Braginski said...

*scowls*

I get the point.

Zathract Mist said...

It was clever.

Sparky Braginski said...

Sure it was.

Zathract Mist said...

Oh shut up.

*throws a fireball*

Sparky Braginski said...

*hums*

I really like the beginning of Buried Alive...

Sparky Braginski said...

*ducks*

Zathract Mist said...

It's a brilliant song.

*lunges and swipes at her with knife*

Y'know what? Fine. Nix knows. Yay.

Could you delete that now please?

Please?

Nixion Strange said...

My timing is pretty awesome
Now, to blackmail...

Nah, just kidding

Sparky Braginski said...

Deleted.

Zathract Mist said...

Thanks.

And now, HI NIX!

Nixion Strange said...

HI MIST
HI SPARKY
HI INVISIBLE PERSON. I KNOW YOU'RE THERE SOMEWHERE

Zathract Mist said...

*narrows eyes at Invisible Person*

What did we talk about?

Zathract Mist said...

That pizza is most important.

Exactly.

*laughs at my own Abridged Series quote*

*stops and sighs*

Too bad I couldn't keep doing Kid Goku...

Gabriel said...

I always arrive when no one is here.. anyone here?

Nixion Strange said...

There are currently three people present Gabriel

Sparky Braginski said...

HIIIIIII

Gabriel said...

Ooh. Awesome. Hi guys.

Zathract Mist said...

HI GAB!

I haven't seen you in AGES!

Gabriel said...

How are you guys?

Gabriel said...

School just ended for me. Almost died doing the tests. I hope I passed.

Nixion Strange said...

I am meh. I have an itchy toe

Star Inkbright said...

THE CLIFF DTILL EXISTS, PEOPLE!

Yes Kes. I died. It was so awesome.

YAY! BLOGFIGHTING!

You're all coming back on now. :)

Which is good. Very good.

But also BAD coz I'm always asleep or at prison for, like, this blogfight and stuff.

GRRRRRR.

Can't stay. Prison awaits. Yay. *sarcasm*

*remembers The Dark Knight*

Okay, partial yay. After . . .

After second period, which is Art, which is the lesson with the stupid Photoshop teacher, THEN my day is all yay. *nods*

See you all . . . Erm . . . Whenever!

Gabriel said...

Hey! to all the people who are here.

Gabriel said...

...I cant wait for ... stuff.

Zathract Mist said...

MY SLIPKNOT MASK HAS ARRIVED!

YAAAAAAAY!

Nixion Strange said...

*whistles*

Gabriel said...

Why is it so quiet?

Okay, I'll start a conversation.

PS3 or Xbox 360?

I think PS3.

Zathract Mist said...

PS3!

DEFINITELY!

Nixion Strange said...

Never used either of them, so no idea

Gabriel said...

Oh Mist have you played Borderland 2?

Gabriel said...

Borderlands*

Gabriel said...

Nix, you should get one!

Zathract Mist said...

Nope.

MA15+, Gab.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, I don't have the money Gab...

Nixion Strange said...

Dinner
Bye!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Nix!

Gabriel said...

See ya Nix! Damn it.. I feel so useless. My parents bought me the PS3 and I'm not doing anything. I probably failed my exams, I'm not going to get a good job.. crap. I have to study during the holidays.

I got my parents to buy Borderlands 2.. but I'm sure the people at the store knew I'm not over 15. Maybe they just didn't care..

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, Gab, you ever going to continue that China story?

Gabriel said...

Oh crap.

Nixion Strange said...

...?

Gabriel said...

Everytime I write something it just.. sucks. I'm not good at writing. And I don't know where I'm going with that story. I am not made for writing stories. I might if I have the time. And if I have a proper working brain..

Nixion Strange said...

Okay, just asking

Gabriel said...

I suck at writing. I haven't read Nix and Mist in a long time.. I'm going to read it now..
Distant. Not that distant.

Gabriel said...

*Cobalt
You guys.

Nixion Strange said...

Hey, don't blame me, I haven't written anything about you since chapter 4 (was it 4?)
Blame Mist

Gabriel said...

I have no idea. I'm still trying to find where I was up to.

Zathract Mist said...

Dude, I told you this already.

I fixed it in the document, but not on the blog. I don't have the time (...) or the motivation to fix it on the blog.
You'll find that when you come back in later, all the things are Cobalt.

You bat.

Gabriel said...

Hahaha. It's just so distracting reading it Colbat. It' so weird. And it remind me of the pokemon Golbat.

Nixion Strange said...

*grins*
I am evil

Gabriel said...

This is really good guys. I laughed at Dark's name. It's Neon Dark wasn't it? I don't remember.

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah

Gabriel said...

Wow. How many chapters does Nix and Mist have now? I am going to read it at night.

Gabriel said...

Oh crap. I have to go guys. See ya!

Zathract Mist said...

Bye Gab!

there are fourteen, if I remember right.

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Gab!

Gabriel said...

aww damn it. my phone broke!

Zathract Mist said...

That sucks...

Zathract Mist said...

*curses*

This stupid image...

Zathract Mist said...

And I still need to write BfB too...

Zathract Mist said...

*eyes the comment count*

Zathract Mist said...

Boom!

Gabriel said...

Hmm....damn it. That phone was important to me! That's my Music Phone!!! .Arrgghhh.

Gabriel said...

Ohh. New page.

Gabriel said...

Dedication?

Zathract Mist said...

Thinking about it.

Gabriel said...

Okay. I have to find a replacement phone..

Gabriel said...

Oh it's December!

I forgot.

Zathract Mist said...

I dedicate this page to Tim Minchin because he's on TV right now and he's hilarious.

Dinner, be back later!

Gabriel said...

Okay. Bye Mist!

Gabriel said...

See ya guys later!

Nixion Strange said...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Yep, and now that I'M here, everyone else is gone.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

*hums*
I think I'll spam the place.
*Grins evily*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Everybody just....just shut up! Don't move, don't speak, don't breath... I'm trying to think!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

They sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
Well they obviously haven't met me.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

No, he barfed on the sailor like a pig, and the police ate Timofey!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

China was attacked by a shark once, just like I was, except it was an actual shark and she was actually attacked.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Oh yeah, and I thought of a backstory! That has nothing to do with Liberty!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I'm Wreath's sister, Tesseract's best friend/partner thing, and Shudder's wife, and I help run the Midnight Hotel. I have a gist but I don't have that recovery problem like he does because I'M AWESOME LIKE THAT.

Yeah. And I'm China's daughter.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

RAAWWWWRRR!!!!!!!!! Ooo...I think I scared Blogland! Oops...
Oh, well!

Unknown said...

Well my darling Derek you have indeed been working hard...

One book a year... NO FAIR!!!!!!!!

BTW I KNEW the reflection was evil...

And I want to be a script writer.

(Random I know but such is my specialty)

Also do you like Neil Gaimon... Your writing style reminds me of him a lot... In avery very good way.

Read Neil Gaimon people, he rules!!!!!!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Neil Gaimon wrote a Doctor Who episode, didn't he?
Derek watches Doctor Who. He's cool like that *nods*

Star Inkbright said...

CHINA SAYD THAT VIOLENCE IS THE RECOURSE OF AN UNCIVILISED MAN, OR SOMETHING. WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE OTHER DAY WAS, WAS ABOUT UNCIVILISED WOMAN? AND UNCIVILISED KIDS?

Ahhhhh and we were watching The Dark Knight again today. And the film showed us Harvey's damaged face, and I think that THAT is significant because in a 12 film they're allowed to show violence, but not much of the impact of that violence (which is stupid. They should show us the consequences of shooting people etc. so we're less likely to do it), and I know we only saw his face for a few seconds and that could be alloewed, but it was long enough for the image to imprint itself onto my brain. His face and the Joker's have been popping up in my mind ever since (OKAY, EVER SINCE IS HALF AN HOUR, BUT 'EVER SINCE' SOUNDS MORE IMPRESSIVE).

And it is the kind of image that could give people nightmares. *smug smile*

On the OTHER hand, it DID only show us it for a few seconds, and they don't show much impact of violence. I've been keeping a beady eye out all the way through and though they so plenty of people getting shot and so on, they have never shown the person after they've been shot or exploded or had a pencil rammed into their head.

In that sense, it could be suitible for twelve-year-olds.

I'M SUCH A PRO AT THIS. :)

Star Inkbright said...

MSD, CSGD, BTW.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Also, I MSD.
