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.

@Ez: Can I do the breaking?
*laughs at the sparkles*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: You can do the left, I can do the right.
*brushes sparkles off clothes*
#ChaseForBookNine
I'll throw moreeeee sparkles at ye laddie
@Ez: You have sparkles in your hair . . . Following this comment, you would ask me a question, and I would pick the first option, and you would say oh well that's okay then, EXCEPT we're not going to say any of that because Adra would EZZZZTTTEERRRRRRRRRRRER us.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ezter
@Adra: Oh God no. He uses to be obsessed with sparkles. Do you know what it's like being with a sparkle-obsessed person? They get EVERYWHERE. All the keyboards get jammed up and stop working, and every book has sparkles stuck in the pages, and they get in your eyes and your hair, and it's just NO.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: But sparkles are pretty!
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws sparkles and giggles*
@Hunter: I'M pretty, and if /I/ jammed your toaster, you would go MENTAL. Sorry, mental-ER.
#ChaseForBookNine
*catches sparkles and watches them sparkle on his glove*
@Ez: But sparkles are amazing enough that they get special privileges.
#ChaseForBookNine
*sneaks up behind Ez and squashes a tiny snowman into her ear*
@Hunter: . . . Thanks.
And - no. Next time I see a vacuum cleaner, I am hovering all the sparkles up.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: :O Poor sparkles! How would you like to be vacuumed up?
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks into Blogland slowly* *depressed* (in rp)
Hey...how are you all?
. . . *pulls snowman out of ear* *chucks it at Adra*
@Hunter: Oh, so now I'm comparable with sparkles?
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Rhydian!
*dodges* mmhm
@Rhydian: Sparkly. :) Hello. Don't worry. Everything changes and moves on, including moods.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Rhydian: I'm being assaulted with sparkles and snowmen. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Hunter!
Hi Adra!
Hi Ez!
EZTER!!!!!!!!
YOU WERE GOING TO BREAK MY ARMS AND FINGERS I HAD TO PROTECT MYSELF *whips him with a twig*
LOL
EZTERRRRRRR
Wbd
@Rhydian: . . . Oh God.
#ChaseForBookNine
*chucks a snowball at Adra*
*laughs at Ez*
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay friend!
Ezter.
*chants it*
*chucks a snowball at Hunter* Damn, the snow's freezing.
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws a knife at Hunter* bitch
*ducks* *levitates the snow under Adra in hope to knock her over whilst chucking a snowball at her*
@Ez: Snow is meant to be cold. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*falls the other way* AH
*falls on her wounded shoulder*
HUNTER
*pulls out her gun and closes her eyes*
DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT TO YOU
I'LL SAY IT
@Hunter: Can I borrow one of your gloves?
Hunter: *teleports behind Ez irl* No.
Ez: ARGH.
Hunter: *in roleplay* *catches the knife* *looks at it*
@Ez: Can I borrow one of your knifes to chuck at Adra?
Ez: Waste your own knives!
[Star: Yeah, timesaving here. XD]
#ChaseForBookNine
GEHEHEHEHEHHEHEGHGEHGEEGE NO KNIVES FOR YOU
*Snicker* I just remembered that I was dying... Heh...))
*lays down* Ugh
@Ez: :(
@Adra: Okay then. *speeds forward and knocks the gun out of her hands*
#ChaseForBookNine
RUDE! *hits him*
((Eh you two))
((*wb))
Me: You can't beat a girl.
Chris: But Chris Brown can.
Me: Chris, darling, why the fuck did your parents name you Chris, even though your last name is Brown?
Chris: That's beside the point.
Me: Chris Brown, all time ass, was named after the singer who beat up Rihanna? Beyoncé? I can't remember... One of them.
Chris: *Gapes*
Me: Suck.
Hunter: Hey, Zaf. :)
Ez: Hey, Zaf. :)
Ez: *picks up gun*
Hunter: *teleports behind her*
Ez: *aims to whack him in forehead with gun, moving before he appears*
Hunter: *ducks and grabs her hand, twisting her arm behind her*
Ez: *releases gravity's pressure on them both, sending them upwards slightly*
Hunter: *levitates upwards slightly beforehand* *reaches over her and grabs gun*
Ez: *doesn't let go* You have tons of guns!
Hunter: . . . Oh yes. *lets go and walks off*
The sexual tension kills
[Star: @Danni: Rihanna. And - um. Yeah.]
#ChaseForBookNine
Ez: @Adra: Yeah. It kills you. *teleports behind her and puts knife to her throat* One move.
*nods at Hunter*
#ChaseForBookNine
Wait- what?
This is fun. ➡️
((OMG Mara why))
[Star: @Mara: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]
Hunter: *walks over to Adra and picks up her hand* Okay. I'm going to start breaking your fingers. From experience, it's generally better if I tell people before I start doing it, so I'm telling you.
Ez: -_- Just get on with it.
#ChaseForBookNine
Wait- YOU WERE SERIOUS ABOUT THAT?
hang on
*downs half a bottle* Okay we're good
*lays face down in the snow* Let me die. ((Not for real just RP))
Just kidding *hits him*
*laughs* *hugs Star*
Hunter: *looks at Ez* *grabs Adra's little finger and bends it to the side, quickly, breaking it*
#ChaseForBookNine
[Star: *hugs Mara* :) But seriously. :) What.]
#ChaseForBookNine
OW
MOTHERFUCKER
OW *kicks blindly*
*stays laying in the snow* *is being oblivious to the cold*
Hunter: *dodges Adra* *sees Zaf* You okay? *wanders over*
Ez: . . . Fuck you, Hunter.
*breaks Adra's third finger on the same hand* *puts knife away and steps back* Okay. You're free.
#ChaseForBookNine
*kicks her stomach*
OW
No. I want out of this hell.
Ez: *steps back from Adra* *shrugs*
Hunter: @Zaf: The thing is - wherever you go could end up being worse. You don't know.
And . . . it's often about perception. Think about the good things in the world. Like, sparkles. Sparkles are awesome.
Ez: *calls to Hunter* You're doing really well there.
Hunter: @Ez: But sparkles are awesome!
#ChaseForBookNine
Zaffy do you know how to add me to the Nameless blog?
Heh.
You said fuck you
I'm sure you would
I have that slug from Monster's Inc. teaching us period 2
Brb
Wb/ okay Rhydian!
Apps.
Very very cool apps.
I'm off for the week yaaaaayyayyaayayayayyayaayyayay
Back
What?!?!
Awh poor Hun! *hugs*
(( heyyy ))
*sighs* Hunter I figured it out who Adra killed. I wasn't stupid. I'm not. Croatoan. And guess what? I lost another guy in my life. *screams* I can't take this! What have I done to lose people?! I did good!
Heyyyyy Snow!
(( *pokes Rhydian* ))
[Star: @Death: :( @Rhydian: Hi. :)]
Ez: @Adra: Do I have to break more of your fingers?
Hunter: @Ez: I think you know what I'm going to say here.
Ez: @Hunter: Yeah, and you know what I'm going to say here.
Hunter: @Ez: And you know what I'm going to say here.
Ez: @Hunter: No I don't - that one depends on your mood.
Hunter: @Ez: Oh yes. Well, in this case, I'll say "True."
Ez: @Hunter: You're implying I say things that AREN'T true?
Hunter: @Ez: Only sparkles are truly truthful.
Ez: @Hunter: *facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
((No Rhy I have no idea how to add you))
*laughs* You love it
Zaf by what evidence do you have to make that assumption
Hunter: @Zaf: People come and go. Sometimes, people die, and it hurts, and you don't think things will ever be the same again. And they won't. But sometimes, they can change for the better. You're a mage, Zaf. You'll live a very long time. There'll be other men. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((Oh right. Never mind.))
Gtg now... Bye!!!!!!
[Star: How are you, Rhydian? :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
(( Bye Rhy XD))
(( i don't know weather i should do something with Snow or something with Lea))
I took my samples to the Sanctuary as you wrre drunk off your ass. The results came back Croatoan. His DNA never changes when he shifts it's impossible. The man you killed was Croatoan hiding under a name so we woukdn't think it was him
Okay never mind fuck this :)
Msd
[Star: Never mind. Fours, Rhyd!]
#ChaseForBookNine
*sighs* Hunter, I lived enough to know that nothing goes bloody right for me! NEVER. I can't....stand this! I wanna hurt Adra but I can't and I wanna question Ari as she knows a lot about him I don't ever give up
(( i think people need to know lea more... what should i do?? *thinks*))
This comment and commenter may or may not be here. Depending.
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: @Adra: Fuck what?
Ez: @Hunter: Fuck you. And I mean that in the insulting way.
Hunter: Insulting SENSE.
Ez: Insulting way also makes sense.
Hunter: But insulting sense makes more sense, seeing as how it has 'sense' in it.
Ez: Either way makes much more sense than you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
... (( i dont know what to dooooooooo))
Hunter: @Comment: Okay. :)
*looks at Ez*
E: *sighs* @Zaf: If that's so, then that's probably because you look at it from the perspective of it not going well. Because things always go well for people once in a while. Always. Even people who only live for a day have at least something going well for them; the fact that they could appreciate life for least a short while.
#ChaseForBookNine
[Star: @Snow: You an just bring Lea here and chat, if you want. :) I'm msd, though.]
#ChaseForBookNine
Ez: *Ez
Hunter: Ez, can I call you E?
Ez: No.
Hunter: Okay, E.
Ez: *groans*
#ChaseForBookNine
(( hey fabi. oh, i mean comment deleted
okay star))
((where you lot atttt?))
((:-/))
#ChaseForBook9
I value the things I had happen, Olivia and Alexis. And my short time with Javier...I thought...Look I'm not stopping unless the forces of Hell stop me, I'm not backing down because he means a lot to me. So much that I will do anything to bring him back. He thinka nobody'll miss him I prived him wrong.
(( fabiiii stop name changing!))
((Don't mock the name change. Seriously. I switched it because I was feeling like crap, and sarcastic italics don't help with that.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( *huggles* dont care. you're perfect fabiiii your name need not be changed in my opinion! ))
((No. I'm not going to just bow back because what I do or say annoys someone. I'm sick of doing that.))
((Oh, by the way, I ship Nikola Tesla, I'm just to stinking polite to ever mention it.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I'm far from perfect, but I'm me, and I'm gonna stay that way. Thanks for your opinion, but Fabi is a name for an awesome person with confidence, not me.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( you don't need to change back... you just need to know that i think it's not necessary. *hugs* do what you feel you must))
((You're not the annoying... *hugs*))
(( i want to join the RP somehow but i dont know where anyone issss))
(( oh, and i'll call you mareille, because that's what you want to be called... but i still think fabi suits you better))
[Star: *hugs idk what to call you now but I think you know who I'm talking to* I love you, *insert name* You're amazing. :)
. . . Can I call you Lantern?
Just because, I need a name. :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
[Star: We're just in Blogland, I think. :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
((Everyone ships the opposite of whatever I hope so it just continues to annoy me))
((hugs people back))
((Thanks Adra...))
((Snow, I switched to Mireille so we could continue our plot if you want, though idk where to take it.))
((Some sort of orange opal base, maybe streaky with irid and regular black frit))
#ChaseForBook9
(( okay fab! where to go... *thinks*))
*peers around*
((I could list a million reasons, but it wouldn't say a thing.
((You'd still think the world hated you, so I'm not bothering
((And I guess that makes me sound a little more than cold
((But seriously, your pessimism's getting rather old
((Call me whatever you like except Fabi.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Starving I wanna eat but for god sake mom is on the blooy phone I mean I haven't eaten since 10:30am))
(( erm... fine, i call you bloby ))
..no? Perfect
((I'm holding back a lot of retorts Fabi. I'm sick of getting yelled at or lectured excuse me as I'm once again starving I guess my mother is too lazy to cook even though she supposedly is))
[Star: *hugs Lantern*
@Zaf: Then maybe you should get something to eat.
Um.
That sounded less stupid it my head.
@Zaf: Just a question - do you ship Ezter? You don't have to answer. I don't mind whether you do or not.]
#ChaseForBookNine
(( so, bloby, where should lea and Mireille be?))
(( STAR: OMG EZTER!!! YES!!! I SHIP IT 100%!!!))
Huh-how about that.
*waves farewell*
[Star: @Zaf: *quotes Snickers* You're not you when you're hungry.
*in]
#ChaseForBookNine
((Maybe grab a banana or something? Some crackers? Just enough to tide you over until she makes dinner. There's nothing any of us can do about it... :-/
#ChaseForBook9
I ship Ezter
Yeah I have my M&M's just ugh
[Star: *hugs Snow* Thanks!!!!!!! :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
(( *pokes star* Ezter. do it. please. it just sounds like the best couple name ever... even better then adrip or tadra...))
(( Mireille and Lea should.... what?? IDK!!! D::))
((Zaf- I'm pretty sure everyone shipped Zafier really hard until Javier went mad and started killing people. Just, you know, for the record. And Nikola Tesla was a ship that developed while Zafier was developing, so people shipped them both at the same time. But then my guess is all the reasons why people shipped Zafier were gone, because Javier kept trying to kill you, but none of the reasons why people shipped Nikola Tesla went away, because the relationship between me and Niccolò only got stronger, while you and Javier kept growing apart. So it's not that nothing goes your way or that people don't want you to be happy or that no one cares how you feel, it just worked out that way, and there's a logical explanation for it.
Star- Regarding possibly fixing Niccolò's OP problem... I've been thinking about that for a long time. It couldn't be done by only bringing back his name, though, because (keep in mind a lot of this relies on my headcannon for true names, but this is the headcannon I've been using since Niccolò's creation because he couldn't exist without it) the other names have mixed with his. So technically they are all one name. It's sort of like multiple personalities- they're all part of the same person. Also, names and souls are not directly related, and since the demons have his soul, and his soul contains the name- even if they were all separate names, which they aren't anyway, you couldn't only bring back one. And also, regarding Death being alive without a true name- that, according to my headcannon, is not physically possible, so in order to keep that constant with my headcannon I'd have to say that she lost some of it, maybe most of it, but not all of it. Like, she was able to bring Ren back from the dead (in the MC) even though Niccolò had stolen his true name, but that was because every time Niccolò uses his discipline it gets weaker, so he actually hadn't stolen all of Ren's name. So she could just be missing the magic/dark side part of it.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I feel like it isn't a good idea to stay here right now. Like I'm going to burst out into a rant, which I probably am, but I have enough self-control not to post the thing. So bye. Just...bye.
((Sorry Snow, sorry Adra, sorry everyone else.))
((Makes no pretense of leaving with any kind of permanence))
#ChaseForBook9
*sips tea*
*whispers* Ezter
((It's okay, Moss- I'm about to blow my brains out rn -_-))
((Gah, darn it. Sorry, Moss... *hugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
TADRA IS THE BEST STOP NO
(( Bye Bloby. *huggles* hope you feel better later... mentally or whatever))
[Star: *hugs Zaf* Thanks!!!!!!! :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
(( right, well... lea is gonna be... somewhere, if someone would care to spot him and need him for something or other?))
((Sorry, Snow- I don't know if in RPing right now or not
Most likely not though -_-))
HI EVERYONE!
*whispers* Ezter...Tadra...Cecilos(which is not a Blogland ship, i just can't think ships without mentioning it.)...
(( *shrugs* IDK *faceplants ground* if someone needs me, i'll be down here))
((Heh, sorry, Snow- I'll probably be distant/msd until later tonight, so I'm not sure whether or not I should join the roleplay, and when I do I'll probably immediately freak out about Niccolò... Sorry... I'd love to run into Lea at some point, though.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Ari I just I guess this whole thing made me appreciate time left with people I gotta get him back and I can't stand coming on knowing I was too late to save him...*sighs* I feel so upset! I feel useless in this...)
[Star: @Ari: Okay. :) That makes sense. *hugs because awesomeness*
@Adra: Tadra is fantastic. :) Tadra is the best ship ever, yes. It's awesome. :)
@Snow: *moans* But STUFF!!!
I can't just . . .
Gah. :P
Okay, Lantern. :)]
#ChaseForBookNine
[Star: Hey Kes! :)
And - thanks!!!! :)
I'm not sure I can roleplay. Should go to sleep soon . . .]
#ChaseForBookNine
((Kes: I'm gonna be Senna, because I'm using her in a book and she needs development.))
*im in my lab, if it matters. Which it doesn't, I suppose. Not anymore :)*
It is..
CecilxCarlos!
(( *voice muffled by ground* awt-eba. imph goma be 'ere.
((Finally eating brb bye Ari if you leave))
((Hi Star!
Also, Senna's really rude, so apologies to all for that))
I enjoy games. We should play a game...
Capture the flag, maybe?
Yeah, Star- get some sleep
((Kes: Adra, have you actually listened to it, or d you just know this from Tumblr still?))
Tumblr
((Sleep is generally good, yes...))
(( 'ellof kesh... ma fash hurtsh))
((*hugs Star back because awesomeness* I have been trying to think of things, though. And that would have been helpful. Well, anyway, thank you. :)
Zaf- try not to feel so helpless. In the words of someone I'm very fond of who happened to be reciting a poem at the time- "This, too, shall pass."))
#ChaseForBook9
*stares at Snow*
*walks over to her*
Why is your face on the ground?
Right... Just what I thought...
@Adra: Okay. :) *leaves to go to sleep*
Before I go -
@Ari: Thanks. :)
*leaves*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Aretha, I don't know how relevant this is, as I don't know much about Niccolo, but maybe do something like with Scapegrace, where he was brought back as a zombie, and then had the brain transplant?))
(( i fash plaphted... ))
Kes: Bye Star!
((HELLLO, ADRA!
I don't think I've said hello to you yet. Also,
HELLO KES!
I think I've acknowledged everyone who's here now. If I haven't, I'm sorry- I just haven't figured out that you're here yet.))
#ChaseForBook9
(( byph shtar))
*nods* Good...
*calmly eats her salad and flips through her Inferno copy and alchemical symbols for portals*
Kes: Hi Aretha!
Snow, just get up then. Do you need help?
(( *sits up* i have fluff in my mouth... *sits there awkwardly*))
((Hm. Well, that would certainly be an idea, but if he was a zombie he wouldn't be him, you know? Thanks, though.I think we've all been doing a lot of brainstorming.))
#ChaseForBook9.
(( pleh *tries to get fluff out*))
There, that wasn't too hard, was it?
*hands water bottle* Use that. But I want it back.
((Aretha, but if we managed to get someone like Nye to bring him back fast enough, he wouldn't be a zombie. Just a thought.
Also, do we know that Wave Rider was actually him yet?))
(( first? kay... excuse me while i ded...
oh, and ari, perhaps make him similar to the write cleaver? idk... let me think on it... i'm good at plans... kinda))
((Snow, but then he'd have to be under someone's control...))
((We just have to keep in mind that his soul belongs to a demon. So, anything that involves him having a soul will probably not work, unless we negotiate with the demons, but those are Adra's so anything involving them has to go through her.))
*calls Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Who's this Niccolo you all are so worried about, anyway?
(( good point kes... i'll think it through and talk to my friends about it. maybe by some miracle we'll work something out XD))
(( i g2g))
*picks up* *flatly* What
((Bye Snow))
((So far in the roleplay, only Adra and Zaf know. No one else has heard.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Bye Snow))
((Aretha, but what constitutes a soul? Technically, if he had given his soul up, he would have automatically become a totally different person, but...))
((Aretha, kay.
brb))
(( OKAY!!! I HAVE AN IDEA!!! probably a bad one but...
okay, so... if we trade with the demons, say... if we give them someone else's soul in trade for niccolo's.... would that work?? like, a willing soul trade or something?
now, i g2g... bye))
(Bye Snow...again))
((Kes would volunteer her soul, probably. If only out of curiosity of what it felt like.))
*swings her legs and scoots closer to the edge of the tower* *looks down*
Adra, can I join you?
*murmurs won't be here for long*
Yeah
*sits next to Adra and looks over the edge*
It's beautiful...
Mmhmmm
Are we the only ones here?
Apparently so
*taps symbols on shoulder blades and jumps, flying*
I'm back! ((Also Javier knows he's te one who has the mental link to me so any information I know he knows))
Hey Zaf!
Join us?
*waves goodbye to her and shuts off the call with Aretha* *scoots closer to the side
*loop the loops above Adra's head*
*swings down, handing off the side*
*flies down to Adra's level and floats*
*goes to Kes and Adra* Hi! *sits down*
