Wayyyyyyy too busy to write a proper Blog thingy- you'll be happy to know that I am 13,320 words into Book 8- but can I just ask why I have so many Twitter followers?
I DON'T TWEET ANYTHING.
I don't even know how to re-tweet. Or do anything.
I also only follow two people- Gina Carano, who rarely tweets, and Ronda Rousey, who only stops tweeting when she's asleep.
In fact, on the run-up to her UFC debut in February, Ronda and her mum have organised this cool "feed the hungry" competition. Basically, you log on, answer some questions, and for every answer you get right, the advertisers on the site donate 10 grains of rice to the World Food Program. It's free, it's fun, you're helping people AND you're proving how much smarter you are than your fellow Minions.
How could you resist?
Go to Ronda's mum's blog (her mum is a Judo blackbelt... how cool is that?), follow the link and try your luck.
http://drannmaria.blogspot.com
Also, for all you Twitter people, could you take a picture of the Ronda Rousey mention in chapter 52 of KOTW and send it to her? I would, but I haven't a clue how. My genius lies in other areas. Like cookies.
And on an unrelated note...
Big congratulations to Em and Chase.

I finished all my clothes yay!!!
Okay. Any color preferences?
Congrats! [high-fives]
#ChaseForBook9
Pink she is obsessed with pink.
*pokes Ari with fire* POKE
. . . Where did my comment go?
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh. Good. That one appears to be staying. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
She may actually be the only pink name. O.O
Wbd, and probably will poof if no one talks to me for a while.
#ChaseForBook9
IT WENT TO THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE!
STAR, YOU AND YOUR COMMENT MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO SAVE US ALL.
Jk.
Sort of.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Star! Oh and okay Fabi and hey I just say what Alexis wants
*sits playing with Olivia watching her eyes follow my shadows*
No omg that killed me! Niccolò here would never hurt me uless we were sparring or a name took over and he wasnt himself! There he freakin nearly broke my jaw and he broke my rib...And Cristofer and Alexis oh my god
Alexis: That's his name?!
Yes Cristofer de Hecke
Right. Everyone poofs
Done! And there's plenty of space to put Alexis' name near yours.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay! She's happy :)
Alexis: *noms on a piece of Adra*
((Sorry. Distant because I'm trying to make a fire.))
Aretha: He hurt you because he had to. Simple as that. And Cris is really sweet when you get to know him.
#ChaseForBook9
I didn't poof, I'm just really distant working on four projects at once! Sorry about that.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: I wish I could meet him!
*sits shakinf head* I wonder how Niccolò from here is taking that he has a nephew over there
Aretha: *shrugs* I don't think he's paid much attention to that, to be honest. He's too busy worrying about the other Aretha.
#ChaseForBook9
Which one are you? The one from there or here? Because you better hope yo aren't the one from there *draws knife*
Where is she? Here or there?
#ChaseForBook9
*Em jumps down from the tree where she's been listening*
Em: She's the ParaAretha, she tried to get me to go through last night...
Zaf, this might not be the best time for that.
Diplomacy, remember? We might be able to fix things, and killing people won't help very much.
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: She's here. We're both here. I'm the one who's out of place, though. Zaf, I know you're angry, but is there really any point in attacking me?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not killing her. I'm going to cut her into tiny tiny pieces and feed them to a werewolf. And laugh. Because /nobody/ hurts Niccolò
*glares* You hurt Niccolò you and his para self! I HATE YOU!!! The one god damned male I have feelings for and you demonic creatures hurt him. I had enough of every person i like either be killed hurt or betray me.
Aretha: I haven't done anything to him! I couldn't. I mean, even though he's not my Niccolò, I still couldn't.
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: And even if I had, killing me wouldn't fix that. You can't just kill people to settle grudges. Revenge is stupid and pointless.
#ChaseForBook9
[Nods to Em]
Zaf, when has losing your temper ever gotten you anywhere?
#ChaseForBook9
You guys drained his and my Aretha's energy so they couldn't recover. Don't lie to me. You are so lucky I have this gut feeling he's watching or I would murder you right here.
*clenches fists trying to calm down*
Aretha: No, I only stole Aretha's. He stole the other Niccolò's. Neither of us could bring ourselves to hurt each other. But you didn't really care about your version of me, did you?
#ChaseForBook90
I do! Why would I want her on the Council with me if I didn't? Just because I like Niccolò it doesn't mean I don't care for the real you. *puts knife away* I hate you para people.
Aretha: You seemed perfectly content to leave her there, just so you could sleep on Niccolò for a night. If he hadn't gone back to get her then, she'd still be here now.
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: *there, not here. She'd be trapped there.
#ChaseForBook9
I didn't know who had her I thought Clara did until Clara said she had to go back. I knew if I found him at least there was hope getting Aretha. I really see no- *bites lip turning away from*
Alexis: well done hurt her more have you? Well done. Go back to your own universe it is really obvious nobody wants you around.
((Hi Em!!! *tacklehugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
Hello...
*Em slams ParaAretha up against the tree*
Em: And what about my son?!! What about my husband??!!! Where would they have been or happened to them if you had gotten me to go through that portal?
What good is it to come here and destroy our world when you clearly can't even belong in your own fucked up world!!
I get it, you two don't like each other.
Can you please just stop it now and actually acknowledge the existence of the emergency at hand?
[Turns to ParaAretha]
Your story doesn't line up. Truth, please?
#ChaseForBook9
*is totally not about to meet George Takei*
Oh hey ladies take it slow, yo
*walks in*
*sits down in tree* *sighs*
#ChaseForBook9
Hell no I want to kill her too!
*okay apparently not DAMMIT*
((Mara! [tacklehugs]
I mean, it's really hard to know to drain some people's energy if you believe that all life on Earth has devolved.
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: I did say that once we'd started sending people everyone magically showed up again. And Aretha and Niccolò knew who we were, and they would have caused total chaos in both universes if they told everyone, so we kept them down.
#ChaseForBook9
So how long has this been going on? When did you start sending people?
((Msd, lunch.))
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: About halfway through last week.
#ChaseForBook9
((*sobs in the background* George Takei..))
So... Have you guys just been eating me?
I don't think I like that
Aretha: They're eating you? What? Is that, like, an expression of some sort in this universe?
#ChaseForBook9
*is seething* I. Am. Done. You really really *grabs her throat and stabs her in the neck* I don't care if Niccolò sees me right now he won't stop me from killing you
No, I mean straight-up cannibalism
[Melts the knife to a puddle]
Way to stay calm, Zaf. Right now, she's information. Information is...useful.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: *appears with his arm between Zafira's knife and Aretha's neck* *Zafira finds herself blown back by a strong gust of wind* Of course I will. I always will. You ought to know that by now, Zafira. *takes Aretha's hand and vanishes*
#ChaseForBook9
Also, you're always "done" and you never go anywhere!
(I am beginning to get angry IC only. OOC, I love you all, you're amazing. 'Kay?)
#ChaseForBook9
[Yells after them]
That's polite! That really is!
#ChaseForBook9
*nods quietly*
*lets the wind blow me back* and that was....*turns and walks away* That....no. *buries head in hands*
(Can I join in, or will I just watch?)
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes at Zaf and goes to Mara and huggles* Hi
((So did Ari really leave or just the para people? Gah. Why do I even bother sometimes with liking Niccolò?!))
((I have no objection to you joining, Mara.))
((Msd.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Of course you can join in! Everyone can join in!))
#ChaseforBook9
*sits down and begins on tracking herself*
*walks around the lake mumbling to self* What do I even do? Its killing me inside to be witness to all of this. I hate the para universe people I wish I could live life without people always messing my happiness. I was told a name liked me I had a shot now I have no shot because these people came and couldn't leave us the hell alone. *kicks rock* why bother caring? I shouldn't. I have nothing else to do now
*Em stands with her fists balled up, gritting her teeth at ParaAretha*
Everyone is looking at me like I'm a bad guy, even Chase.
And that is because of you and you damned parallel universe.
You don't belong here. You need to fuck off.
*stares at the feathers in her hand*
Glad I plucked these :3
*ignores Chione's jabs, melting into the earth's hum, looking for her parallel self*
Well, um, what's going on?
#ChaseForBook9
Give up Em just give up. The para people will never go away and with their Niccolò we have no hope our Niccolò....oh who cares anymore? Just watch. Let them take over this universe
I'm kidding Adra, you're my 2nd favourite person here. *hugs*
No Zaf I can't give up!! I don't know what happens to Lorcan in that universe and I'm not letting my Lorcan's future get taken away by some pricks who think they can have it all...
Is that what you want for Olivia??
*stands up* Right... *goes back to her lab to retrieve some items*
@Mara The portals between the universes are closed. We're back here, but so are people from the other place, and a lot of people from this world are there.
At this exact moment, people are arguing with each other.
#ChaseForBook9
Random person: *comes strolling in* Hey, has anyone seen a guy about this tall *raises his hand to where Trip's head would be*, purple hair, eyes that look like a void?
#ChaseForBook9
You wanna fucking know?! Fine! You and Deacon are married and have kids you guys tormented Lorcan and want Chase dead. Happy? There. And I want a future for Olivia
Who's asking?
No we haven't excuse me I need to go hate myself for screwing up any shot I had with Niccolò *walks away from Em and goes into treehouse*
*glares sharply at Zaf* Really? Insensitive... *turns away from her, ignoring any forthcoming comment she will most likely say*
Random person: I'd like to ask him a favor. My daughter wants to become a channeler, but she's afraid of getting caught by the hunters if she does it openly. The guy I'm looking for- Trip Castalan- he's supposed to be good at staying off their radar.
#ChaseForBook9
*Em falls to her knees as she starts having a panic attack*
Lorcan...
Trip isn't around. We'll tell him if you want.
Zaf...
How can someone stay off the radar with purple hair?
#ChaseForBook9
Random person: *notices Em having a panic attack* Oh dear. Um... Try to take deep breaths. Um. Would you like some tea? *pulls out a thermos*
#ChaseForBook9
Well, I haven't seen him all day. So I wouldn't know.
Zaf, fix Em.
[Goes over to Em and hugs her]
The alternate universe is a very different place, Em...
#ChaseForBook9
She's not my problem. I'm not the doctor.
Random person: (in response to Fabienne) That's exactly what he's famous for being able to do. If I knew how, I wouldn't be looking for him.
#ChaseForBook9
*Em takes a few deep breaths, but still a lot of short ones*
It's not the point Fabi...
I hurt my son. I let *shudders* Deacon hurt my son...
Oh jesus.
She is because you are a fucking insensitive prick and you did this. *gives her a hard glare* Grow up and take responsibility for your actions.
*goes back to ignoring her and to the other conversation*
*stays up in treehouse not caring* I hate my life. I shouldn't be here
On a lighter note... I GOT TO LEVEL 80 ON CANDY CRUSH! *fist pumpin*
Random person: Um, I know it's none of my business, but if you don't mind my saying, it wasn't actually you. It was a different person with a different life. You've never hurt your son. Keep breathing deeply.
#ChaseForBook9
((Since basically I'm ignored for my actions I am here but not talking since I have no reason to))
((Congrats, Chione! That's awesome!))
#ChaseForBook9
*Em looks at the random person for a second*
Who the hell are you exactly??
[Shrugs]
Well, if I see him, I'll let you know.
#ChaseForBook9
((*doesn't know what that is*))
((It's ok, Zaf. I brought random person in because my characters weren't doing anything. You could always comment as Alexis or something. People are just focusing their attention on Em at the moment.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Drew appears behind Adra*
You're going back to the para aren't you??
Most definitely.
*sees Em but isn't sure what to do* ((Niccolò still owes my mother her Nafira moment :P))
((Congrats, Chione!))
#ChaseForBook9
*Drew sighs*
Why are you going back there? What is making you go back there, there is nothing you can do for them Ads, they have to play out their lives.
Random person: Oh, of course! *offers her a hand* James Bond, at your service.
#ChaseForBook9
*barks a laugh at the man* Funny.
Drew, listen up- I don't fancy ever saying this again. I don't need you hovering over my life. If I go over there and die trying to save an entire civilization, then that's my choice. Not yours. You know I'm a Doctor. I save people. I can't deny myself these things
*looks over at James* Uhm....have you seen a man in a leather coat with dark eyes? Cuz I can't find him...and he is my brother well kind of
James Bond: *looks at Adra with confusion* What?
#ChaseForBook9
[Tiptoes away when no one is looking]
#ChaseForBook9
((*stares at Fabi without blinking or looking away*))
#ChaseForBook9
Bond. James Bond. No, sorry... *hides a grin* Over here that's a fictional character
I was going to join in, but there's no point.
Sorry..
I might as well leave now.
#ChaseForBook9
(([hugs Mara] :-(
#ChaseForBook9
Adra they don't need saving girl. Stop being stupid *shakes head and sits working on stuff*
((Sorry Mara..? *hug*))
((Ari...))
#ChaseForBook9
((Mara! Don't leave! *hugs tightly* Sorry... You can just throw yourself in there as something. I don't think any of us really know what we're doing now, anyway.))
#ChaseForBook9
Excuse you but if you've forgotten, some people from this dimension are still back there! Excuse me if I refuse to let innocent people die.
((*continues to stare at Fabi* Yes?))
#ChaseForBook9
Who?! Our Niccolò and Aretha are here theres nobody else
James Bond: I'm sorry, I haven't. (in response to Adra) Oh, really? That must be interesting.
#ChaseForBook9
#ChaseforBook9
No, it's not...
Never mind.
I'm in a horrible mood right now, and I don't want to break down here. Something happened tonight, and... Let's just say something really bad happened and I'm still in shock.
I'm sorry. . .
#ChaseForBook9
((...Never mind. Next time I simply won't announce my departure.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( [hugs Mara] If you want to talk, you can always email me. I hope things get better for you soon. [hugs again]
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mars tightly*
It was really quite the franchise, Jim. Jem. James. Jamsey.
Nobody has seen Niccolò probably never will....*sighs looking bored*
((Sorry, Mara... *hugs tightly*
Also, sorry, Fabi. *hugs tightly* *blinks so she can leave* Death did the staring thing before, and it was funny last time, so... Yeah. Sorry.))
James: Hm. Well, fancy that.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes, fancy that..
Is there any way I can contact you in the event that I see Trip again?
((I appreciate the idea of it, I guess, but sometimes I need to quietly slip away without making a fuss. [hugs back]))
((Bye now. [Vanishes]))
#ChaseForBook9
((*hugs Fabi* Byesies))
Fine I won't hover over you.
I won't be there for you from now on but if all this is over what you saw with Lorcan, then you are playing a dangerous fucking game Adrasdos.
And I mean fucking dangerous.
*Drew walks off*
*sighs* well this just...
*murmurs* Danger's not a game, it's an art... *turns away*
*walks along the lakeshore a bit* then grabs Coco bear and watches fish jump from the water
*Drew heard her and comes back, growling*
This is about fucking Lorcan!!! Dammit Adra! They are werewolf hunters over there, your best friend is a fucking werewolf.
You are seriously going over there to help this boy aren't you??
James: Ah... *rummages through his bag, finally pulling out a small crystal* Here. Just crush this- it'll bring me right to you. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. *walks off happily*
#ChaseForBook9
((msd for a bit, I should be back within half an hour if I go))
#ChaseForBook9
*containing her anger* You know, I can't worry about Lorcan. I can't focus on one. Think about everyone. The regular people who are over there, any other mages... If enough came over here, this could seriously stint the population limits. Jesus Drew, look at the bigger picture here for a second. *glares at him* This isn't just about Lorcan, or Ari, or Niccolo. This is about everyone.
*takes the crystal, tucking it away* Thank you...
So now what? ((Just remember my mother's request Niccolò...))
Okay, it's about everyone.
But what about everyone here, what about Trip? What if Channeler hunters cross over here, he's the only channeler over here.
What if the werewolf hunters come over here. They will go straight for me, Em, my kids and baby Lorcan cause he has some werewolf in him.
What if they realise that you're from another dimension and you get taken and tortured or killed. We have to do with a replacement?
I know you just want to help people Ads, but you should put this life first before just running in headfirst.
I do have a life. I have one over there too. If all the heroes adds here then who is to help the people over there? The billions of people there. This is a bit bigger than me at the moment.
*hears the adults talking and tries listening in on Drew's thoughts*
*hugs Adra tight*
Just please be careful over there! Please...
*pulls away* I'll be back before you know it... *tosses the crystal to him and goes back into the lab*
*walks in* well well well puppies galore
*packs a few more things into her bag, getting a quick snack*
*looks around* So where has my dear brother gone? Where has his puny ex-wife gone? *laughs*
*heads for the Medical bay, packing up as many things as possible into a second bag*
I don't know, but why are you here? *steps out of the shadows, aiming a real gun at Jayla*
#ChaseForBook9
*Drew follows Adra around*
Do you need help Ads?? Or want me to come with you? I can help over there.
No, I'm probably going to find my ganger first... She'll get me to Aretha.
Why? Because I want to be. Why do you care *gestures and air fills the gun stopping it from being able to fire*
*is leaning on the crystal topped cane*
#ChaseForBook9
What's it to me? Apart from you're a wanted criminal with homocidal tendencies? Not much.
#ChaseForBook9
Who tried to kill you? I love them.
*shrugs* pretty crappy spotter if you haven't caught me yet eh? *gestures sending Trip into a very ripe dynamite tree*
Right. *slings the other bag over her shoulder* You should get out there...
Some random guy. Parallel universe guy. He's dead, so have fun with your necrophilia.
I have bigger fish to fry than you right now, but trust me, I do like a good fish and chips, so I'll be back. *walks off towards the lab*
#ChaseForBook9
*Drew hugs her again*
I hate this, knowing that you're going and I'm not coming with you.
Typical cocky Europeans ((Trip I still don't know how you guys eat fish and french fries!))
*vanishes*
*comes down from treehouse calmer*
It's cool, Drew. I can handle it. *hugs* Keep out of trouble. Don't get killed.
*nods, backing away to make a portal*
(They aren't French fries... They're the thin ones. Chips, big chunky oblongs of potato. Fry the cod/haddock, add some peas, baked beans and voila, classic English fish and chips.
Very hard to make actually. But*mouth drools*)
#ChaseForBook9
((Fish and chips aren't actually that bad- I quite liked them))
(Aren't that bad? That's our signature dish!
Apart from curry... *laughs*)
#ChaseForBook9
((Never had them before))
Oi
((Stop making me hungry *remembers thing from before* TRIP! I FIGURED IT OUT! YOU'RE ACTUALLY A BIRD CREATURE! NOW I'M GOING TO EAT YOU! *eats Trip*))
#ChaseForBook9
Hey! Adra! You weren't thinking of leaving without saying goodbye were you?
#ChaseForBook9
((*facepalm*))
*gives a half- salute to Drew* I'll be in Moscow. Don't forget James.
*walks through*
I dedicate this page to fish because they are tasty and cute (when alive) oh and to Niccolò sucking it up and letting me have a Nafira moment (3 and a half hours remaining or i garden shear you)
((ARETHA FOR GOD'S SAKE WHY>
I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT YOU BURNT MY WINGS OFF))
*has already walked through, closing it*
(I think fish and chips is really an it...
No! Ari! Don't eaaaaaat meeeee!)
#ChaseForBook9
((*sticks a stick through Trip roasting him over a fire*))
Oh. I guess she was.
#ChaseForBook9
((YOUR PURPLE HAIR PROVES IT! ADRA ADMITTED IT! TADRA IS ACTUALLY A BIRD AND THEREFORE FOOD. PREPARE TO BE EATEN. *ties Trip up and slow roasts him* Oh yeah! *pulls out a feather and shows it to Trip while he's cooking* We plucked this from Adra just before we ate her. We figured you could use it to remember her by until we eat you, too.))
#ChaseForBook9
(Mammon cosy. *nustles up and cuddles the stick* Nyam Nyam Nyam Nyam.)
#ChaseForBoo&9
((ROAST NICCOLÒ!!!!! Jk i like living))
((What the hell))
*appears on a street* hmm... If I were me. Where would I be?
((Btw Aretha are you still doing ParAdra or shall I?)
So, Drew, mind keeping watch while I hunt down fake me and his wife?
#ChaseForBook9
((You can do her, if you want.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I'm not even sure what I should do....I mean I really don't))
(Well Zaf, we've got the whole alternate universe thing going on, alternate you maybe?)
#ChaseForBook9
((I don't really know what I should be doing either, to be honest. I'm just kind of watching and waiting for the right opportunity to jump in with something.))
#ChaseForBook9
((No idea what she'll do))
BRB i shall be back in a half hour i must eat
((Cool!))
*glances around* *walks into a shabby house marked: MEDIUM in Russian*
Yeah... *wanders in to see herself hunched over a crystal ball* *sits down*
Ahem.
ParAdra: hello imposter. Nice to see you again.
You as well. *pauses* I need to-
ParAdra: Get to Aretha? Yeah, I know.
So...?
ParAdra:... Give me a second. *pulls out a phone and calls Aretha*
Niccolò owes me still!!
[Leans against the wall, watching]
#ChaseForBook9
(See ya soon Zaf.)
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: *into phone* Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
((See you then, Zaf! Hi Fabi! *hugs*))
#chaseForBook9
Well, I'll take your silence as a yes. Thanks.
#ChaseForBook9
((Which wall are you leaning against, Fabi? The fourth wall? *laughs at whatever that was, and how pathetic it was* Yep, I'm weird.))
#ChaseForBook9
ParAdra: Hey gurl! So... Fake me wants to cross the dimensional line.
((Just a random wall. Also, this is ParaFabi, I think.))
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: Does she- *cuts self off, sighing* Of course she doesn't know. Tell her it'd take a week at best to make another type of portal, and that's without taking hours of sleep into consideration.
