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.

*Blinks* Th...thanks, both of you... that means a lot to me.
did you read my thing from earlier, saph? it's my first comment on this page.
*Reads it* *hugs* I love the way it's written. Is it for a story or is it for you?
i don't know yet... *shrugs* i was in english and i had a word document open. so i wrote what came to mind... i might use it somewhere in my writing... idk
Icarus and Escape.
no saph. it's not the reason you thought. *huggles*
So you're not going to make wax wings and become a bird? :P
I like your writing though. It's like a snapshot, I think, of that feeling you get when you just want to go. I like it :)
*She pushes down on her bullet wound and forces herself up. She mutters something under her breath and walks back to Blogland* Sup...? *Looks down at the blood that has blossomed on her shirt. Curses again and looks around* Uh, I need a hospital...
I think it's up now, but I haven't gotten the confirmation email or the link.
Have you heard the story about the thousand paper cranes?
#ChaseForBook9
yeah. last year, our school teamed up with a bunch of others and each school made a thousand cranes and sent them to japan...
DANGER. THIS VIDEO MAY OR MAY NOT BE PERCEIVED AS ODD.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ynO9YTdNITA
((Really wishes Fabi was in Blogland able to help.... Might bring one of the alternate Fabi's...))
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Deathy! *hugs*
Crap *holds onto her shoulders to support her if she gets faint* *pulls off jacket and presses it to the wound* Okay, just lie down...
Fabi; The Japanese girl who made 667 and then died? And her friends made the last 333 cranes for her.
I have eight-hundred and something paper cranes in my closet...
#ChaseForBook9
Yes, that story...
#ChaseForBook9
*Lats down and smiles* This happened last night... Seeing as I have no True Name anymore, I can't heal myself... And my blood doesn't clot, either...
*pokes fabi* you are amazing.
*Nods* That's another part of why I like making paper cranes. Because they're supposed to be healing.
*Watches the video ded*
It's beautiful Fabi. *hugs* Snowy's right. You are amazing :)
*Dials for the Sanctuary* Hello? Hello? Oh, thank God it's you. Can you teleport to Blogland right now? We have an injured person.
(YouTube is blocked at home... :/))
Alternate Fabi: [Runs into Blogland with a medical kit] [Taps a bracelet on her wrist, which beeps]
((hugs Snowy and Saphy and Deathy))
#ChaseForBook9
*Frowns at Saph* A normal hospital... *Coughs* Would be perfectly fine.
*Waves at Alternate Fabi* Hey..
*Glances up in surprise* Fab- no. ParaFabi? *Hesitates, then moves to one side so that she can get in to look at Death*
Alternate Fabi: Hello! [Sets first aid kit on the ground and runs back into the forestago grab a stretcher]
#ChaseForBook9
(( i'm gonna bring lea in... is it worrying that i dont know where snow is?))
Lea: *strolls into blagland* *see's death* oh god *runs over*
*Closed her eyes from embarrassment*
*Closes
Lea: *tries not to laugh because it's really not a laughing moment* *fails, and barks out a laugh*
[Brings the stretcher over]
Hello, I'm a Fabi. [Smiles] [If the bullet is still in Death, it melts away]
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: *falls over laughing*
*Stands up and talks quietly in Snow's ear* As far as I can see, there's no organ damage. The muscle tissue took a bad hit, but really the only serious issue is blood loss. If ParaFabi can stop the bleeding, we should be fine.
(It went right through... No one leave me alone for seven minutes again...))
*Smiles at Fabi and at Lea* I like that kid, *Points to Lea* She's cool.
Hi, Fabi... It is ever-so-slightly scary that you said 'a Fabi', not Fabi...
((*MURDERS HEALTH TEACHER*
Health Module -
Currently we are completing a unit on relationships, sex and sexuality. Dannielle is a willing participant in the group discussions and has taken a mature approach to all topics covered. (13/9) ))
I mean Lea, not Snow...
(( death, lea i a guy))
AltaFabi: [Glances annoyedly over at Snow] [Tilts the stretcher at a good angle and looks at Saph]
((I should probably mention, she's dressed differently, with a sort of military-style jacket (with lots of pockets) and boots. She's more confident than Fabi, but not as openly cold as ParaFabi))
#ChaseForBook9
*Lea, not Snow, sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
*Notices AtlaFabi's look* Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Sapphire Iota.
(See? This is why I flipping hate auto-correct... Sorry Snow, that should be *he because my flipping auto correct on my iPod will flipping kill me...
Gotcha Fabi!))
Lea: s-sorry... *sits up whipping a tear from his eye* there was a bug in my top... i think... *looks at death's shoulder and grabs some leaves from his bag* *hands them to death* even if it doesn't hurt, i have an excess of these.
AltaFabi: Well, I'm assuming you know the me from this dimension already, and it'd be confusing if I introduced myself as the same person. I only have a little bit of the balm left... I hadn't gotten to restock when I appeared here. I should be able to slow the bleeding, though. At the very least.
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Lea. *Starts chewing on the leaves and frowns* Hey... Do these work on people without True Names...? Everyone in the world except me has a True Name... *Blinks slowly and struggles to focus* Woah...
Hello. I don't know any of you. When I get back, though, I'll look. Hopefully you're not dead yet. You seem nice.
[Turns to Deathy] Would you mind lying down on the stretcher so I can take a look at your injuries?
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: *turns to alterFabi* sorry. bad first impression. i'm lea. you don't happen to know how many others of you there are out the, do you? only my girlfriend and her friend, this dimensions' you, are on the run for killing someone and i think it was a version of her, you, from another dimension.
Sure... *Lays down on the stretcher, gritting her teeth in pain* Owzahs...
I have to go to dinner. Bye! *hugs everyone*
(*Hugs Saph back* Don't choke!))
AltaFabi: No idea! A lot? Hi Lea! You're not dead in the dimension I'm from, though you're missing one of your fingers.
(Internet flaky msd))
#ChaseForBook9
(( lovely death... bye saphy!! DFTBA!!))
(( YAY!! LEA HAS ONLY 9 FINGERS))
((hugs Saphy. Byeeeeeee!))
[Gently sprays some clear herbal-scented liquid on Death's injuries. It stings slightly, but it should get rid of infections.]
[Pulls out some bandages]
#ChaseForBook9
*Closes her eyes tightly and tries not to whimper. Instead, she starts singing In the End by Black Veil Brides*
[Pulls out several types of bandages] Regular, canvas-strength or hypoallergenic?
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: *hums*
I don't know what any of them are, other than regular... And you're playing medic...
Canvas-strength is better at protecting the area from zombie fingernails, and hypoallergenic is good for people allergic to latex or some other sort of adhesive.
[Decides to use the regular ones]
I should probably warn you, I've never treated anyone from this dimension before and might not know what I'm doing!
[Coats the bandages in a smelly white goo]
#ChaseForBook9
Well, I'm not used to being the patient... I can usually heal myself... *Glances at the symbols on her wrist* And I can't even do anything anymore...
*Pauses* Is there a Death in your dimension?
Healing yourself would be really, really cool.
I don't know. You disappeared a long time ago and are considered a myth. Rumors say you went to fight the evil mountain-god.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh... Damn... Well, I'm pretty average here... No myths about me... The Fabi here is epic, though!
[Carefully wraps Death in the bandages]
There! Stay still for a minute or so, and let the balm dry.
[The white goo on the bandages makes Death's skin tingle slightly]
[It helps heal wounds quickly]
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs and looks at her stomach* Woah... I swear we don't have this stuff here... *Looks at AltaFabi* Thanks...
Huh. I bet she is. It'd be interesting to meet her, but apparently [looks towards Lea] She's running from the law?
Average can be good, though. People for expect you to do the impossible. And you seem like a cool person, so...
#ChaseForBook9
No problem. We all basically live off it back home...
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: yup. running from the law
*Laughs again* I'm not cool. I swear that I probably just ran off into the mountain in your dimension... I'm a wuss.
I met ParaMe... She hated me and killed me twice... And then her husband killed her... Life was awkward with two mes....
i've never met another me... and ParaSnow... well... dusk happened.
*lea:
Lea: i still haven't worked out if that was paradusk or dusk...
*Mentally hugs Lea* Hey bud. It's okay.
Well whoever you are here or there, you've inspired a lot of people. I can tell you that much.
I've met a couple of me here. One about my age with this cool video phone thing, and one who looked...old. The one my age explained a lot of stuff, but I'm still completely perplexed.
#ChaseForBook9
I think you're talking about the wrong person...
I don't inspire...
Sometimes inspiration is unintentional. [Shrugs]
[Decides to drop the subject]
You can get up now, carefully.
So...what did other me do to get on the wrong side of the law?
[Puts away the bandages and such]
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: it wasn't her... as far as we know. she was seen on video footage several times near the location of murders. personally, i don't think she did it. i think it was an alternate version of herself.
*Gets up slowly and looks at AltaFabi* I have no idea... It was news to me...
[Laughs] Not me, if that's what you're implying.
#ChaseForBook9
(( just chose my subjects for next year: advanced english, japanese, music, woodwork and drama. i get 3 of those... ))
Lea: no. i don't think you could of done it, not from this first impression.
http://lonleysnow.blogspot.com.au/
look at my latest post?))
I probably couldn't. You're right. You don't happen to know where me with the phone is, do you? I was supposed to meet her a while ago, but I think I got the time wrong...
#ChaseForBook9
((I have to go... Sorry... [hugs Death and Snow]
#ChaseForBook9
(( my brother is thick sometimes... i asked him to turn the printer on because i wanted to print something. so he turned it on. and then an alert came up on my laptop saying "this printer is out of paper". you'd think my brother would have thought to put paper in it when he turned it on, right?))
(( *huggles fabi* DFTBA))
(( g2g, bye! *huggles deathy and anyone else lurking in the shadows*))
Anyone else lurking in the shadows? Why, that's meee :P
...
And, apparently, ONLY me.
*Steps out of the shadows spookily* Not quite, Miss Iota.
*Mock-yelps* Ahhh! :P *squeezetackleglomps Alex* You haven't been on the blog in a long time. But I guess you've been busy. When do you leave?
4th. But all my things are getting packed on the 2nd, so that'll be my last night on the blog. Something tells me I won't sleep that night.
Oh. Oh God. That's... soon.
Yeah.
I don't really want to talk about it, though. I just want to enjoy this. *Smiles* Should we dance? That seems to be our thing right now.
So long as you don't drop me in the punch bowl again ;)
There goes my evil plan.
I said punch bowls were evil... You should have seen last year's Ball... *Snickers* OW! *Curses* Stupid wound...
Alex...
Death! *hugs, being careful not to touch the wound* :)
*Hugs Saph back* I'm not here. I'm not allowed to be here. I haz homework... A whole project due... Tomorrow, naturally.
*Mimicks* Saph...
Hello, Danni :) It's a pleasure to meet you.
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1843866
Second last page...
I swear it was all talk...
I now have Darquesse after my hide...
Shit.
That sounds familiar. Saph and I have a tradition of staying up late to do our homework while chatting on gmail.
*Beams at Alex* I'm Death Rose, actually. I lost all my powers thought I thought that my Taken Name was unnecessary. We have met before, dear, though it still is a pleasure.
Well, it's 6:43pm here... I don't have traditions...
Other than never reading the instructions on manuals and such.
Well, it's not exactly a tradition. More a habit :P
*Laughs* How did you manage to piss her off?
*Twists Alex's arm behind his back* Watch it.
Uh... Someone went in and killed her parents and Alice...
And I just got out of the Sanctuary...
So it wasn't me...
But I was threatening to kill her family...
Shit.
SHIT!
Ah, of course. Sorry Death.
*Wriggles his way out of Saph's grip and mutters something about girls being impossible*
May suddenly disappear.
*Shakes head teasingly at Death* Congrats. (By the way, your pet is really cute.)
I have to go now, sorry! Getting late. 'Night :) *hugs Death* *ruffles Alex's hair* love ya.
*Sighs* Love you too, Saph.
I hope she comes back before Sunday. I hate moving.
...
My pet...?
Oh, my siggy pet.
That's my fursona.
Her name is Judhipor.
She's evil.
Bye Saph!!
Kk Alex!
msd...
So the supremely cute-looking cat you have a drawing of is a psychopath?
Logic.
gtg... Dinner!
Okay, goodbye Death!
I'm going too now, actually. G'night to anyone still on.
Goodbye, Alex.
*Forces herself up, tears springing to her eyes* Ow... Damn you Judi...
Oh. Niccolo, if you read this, I named a spider in my class room after you. It was following me around and backed off every time I looked at it. It was really big, scary and black. It reminded me of you.))
Does anyone here know how to seal a true name? (Hi btw!)
And I need to know now. Going out with my friends later. Does anybody know how I could seal my true name?
I have not the slightest idea... I never sealed mine... *Facepalms* No one noticed, either...
You Rose?
And how? You didn't seal Judi? What?
*Trudges over to Rhy and hugs him, careful of her bullet wound in her stomach* Hey bud, by the way. Everyone in the world has a True Name. I'm the only one who doesn't... It's messing with my body... My blood isn't clotting... I'm slowly bleeding to death...
Judi never got sealed. I built a wall in my head because I didn't think she was a name. She was a dark side...
But she wasn't just a freaking dark side. She was my name... *Whimpers softly*
*hugs Rose but careful of the bullet wound* Rose...do you know anyone who can seal my name for me? Once it's sealed I will heal you ok? You're not going to die...I promise.
I really wish I knew. I have a psychic that could build a wall in your head... For now...
If I die, I die.
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid to die...
You're not going to ok? You will NOT die...please don't give up.
I gave up years ago... I'll go call him, ok? *Pulls out her phone and dials*
Hello? Yeah, hey... No... Wait, shut up. I need you... Yeah... Well, I need a really awesome shrink-... *Laughs nervously* I know. Just come to Blogland. Okay? Yeah, I know. Just hurry your little butt up. Thanks!
*Hangs up* He's coming.
Thank you Rose...so much. I don't wanna be controlled. And there's something else...something wrong
*Walks up, glaring at Death* I was happily watching my dog have kittens until you called me.
Death: Dog have kittens...?
Shut up. Yes, my cat looks like a dog. I call it a dog too. Why am I here?
*Death points to Rhy and sits down against a tree*
Death: Rhy...? What? What's wrong..? *Death stands back up and hugs Rhy feebly*
I had a dream. With the Book of Names in it. And I opened it and saw three names. My own, my best-friend's and someone who bullied me. I know three unsealed names. Not even a Sensitive could see that...what's wrong with me?
Death: You're a lucky duck. Nothing's wrong with you, darling. You have a choice. Tell your friend to seal his name and the bully too, or you can control them. *Death's hug becomes weaker and she starts to tremble* You're given a choice. You were chosen...
...ok.
I'll tell my friend. She deserves to know.
The bully...I think I'll accidentally forget. It may come in handy for the future.
Ok so how long does this mental wall last? And how do I seal my name permanently?
Vincent: The wall will last for about two months. It will give you plenty of time to find someone who can seal it properly. I'll keep in touch with you and keep an eye out for someone who can do what you need. *Vincent looks at Rhydian without expression* I'll need you to sit down and imagine somewhere quiet and calm. I need you're head as clear as I can... *He looks to Death and smirks* Or else you'll turn out like her.
*your
Lol ok Vincent. *sits down and keeps head clear*
*Vincent cracks a small smile* Okay, I'm pretty much an expert at this point. *He puts his hand against Rhy's forehead and closes his eyes. Rhy starts to feel a strange tugging sensation in his mind and it vanishes quickly. After a few moments, Vincent takes his hand off Rhy's forehead and takes a step back* Okay. You have a level seven mind block. That's about as good as you get. If you feel lightheaded, it's not me or the block. *He nods smiles softly*
(I think I'll need a shower... If no one's in there... BBS!))
((Ok! I need a shower anyway so BRB!!!!))
((Back!))
(Stupid guys... Take less time than girls when it comes to showering... Don't have to worry about so much hair....)
(Haha guys are better at shower-ing lol!!!!)
*buries head in hands getting up and making Olivia's breakfast*
Javier: Zaf stay strong for Liv *watches and goes and wakes Olivia* Morning sunshine
Olivia: *goes to Daddy and looks upset* Wheres Niccolò Lexi is sad
Javier: I think he went on a trip somewhere for his research but Alexis is mostly with Lorcan so its okay I'm sure when Niccolò comes back he'll be happy to know you missed him *goes with her to the kitchen*
(Girls have too much hair...)
*Death blinks slowly, dazed* Ungh...
-falls out of a red haze, my eyes pure black, my blade drawn-
Accept it. You cannot live without magic.
(Hey Zaf!)
*Death slowly pulls herself up, her legs shaking. She stumbles towards Rhy and gives him a hug* If I don't... *She coughs up a mouthful of blood* Make it... I love you guys... *She struggles to keep her eyes open but could only fight it for a few seconds. She collapses on the ground, her breathing slowing*
(Hi Aiden!)
(Hey Rose and Zaf. :)
Danni. You, Rose and Judhipor are all separate beings. You must all be connected.
((Morning!))
-I pull out a dark red pouch, placing in it three phials of blood, all marked with a name-
(Hehe, I'm dying... *Hugs Aiden* I'd respond but I'm kinda unconscious...)
Hey Adra.
((Hola))
(Hey Adra!)
((Hello, everyone. I wish you all a pleasant applicable time of day.))
#ChaseForBook9
Rose...*kneels bedside her* *tears in eyes* There has to be something we can do...please.
((Salve, hola, hello, etc... Whatever language works))
*runs up to Death, kneeling beside her* Rhy, what's going on? What happened to her?
#ChaseForBook9
((Hey Adra!))
((Hi Ari!))
(Niccolo, I named a spider after you...)
We can do something. I.. Rhydian, stand back..
-pulls out three runes, placing all three in a triangular format around Danni-
-kneels down, and places my hands on her temples, her eyes glazing over black-
-shuffles through her memories, searching for a distinct moment-
Danni, what is a distinct moment that you played out as Death Rose?
((*waves* ya mon))
((Hey Rhy! And Adra, and Death, and Aiden!))
#ChaseForBook9
((He read that. I laughed. XD Pretty accurate, I think.))
Woah, hey! What are you doing, Aiden?
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh gods I need to stop saying hello))
*eventually stops wrapping her arms up?*
(I have no idea... Heh... Perhaps when Death first met Dwyer...?)
(They were locked in battle and that's really what awoke Judi...)
-the runes emit a line of light that travels to Danni's mind, searching for a defining moment, as a man appears in front of me, a hood similar to mine concealing his identity-
The Man: The phials. Of blood. Give them to me.
Me: -hands over the pouch-
The Man: How did you...
Me: I had a debt to pay. You needn't know how I did it. Do you have the payment?
The Man: Of course. -hands him another pouch, containing unknown materials-
Thank you. Now be off.
-one of the runes light up-
Good. Now a defining moment for Judhipor?
((...fine))
*sighs heavily* You people... Aretha, and, it seems, all of her friends- you never know when to give up, do you? I know not what you plan to give Saccharine in exchange for my soul, but whatever it is I can promise you it's not worth it. Besides that, you have a life to live, Adra, and you can't live it here. Get out.
#ChaseForBook9
(Probably her last moments... When she sacrificed herself and showed her true colours)
Who's Saccharine?
((I shall ded to my brothers, for reasons unknown, and to my autocorrect, to stop making it "DED" instead of "DED"
*"DED"
*"ded
See?
Hear hear))
To be clear- if I do leave, there's a chance my body is already dead.
(Hear hear!)
-turns to Niccolo-
Fuck off. Who are you to tell Adra to get out? All you've ever done is torment us and steal true names from us. You can't simply change your mind, and think everyone is going to be okay with it, merely because Alexis likes you?
(Btw, if I'm missing something, tell me please..)
((Saccharine is the name of the demon I sold my soul to so Aretha and I would survive the invasion of the demons months back. I've died, so now since she owns my soul I am trapped in my own personalized version of Hell, and Adra has performed some sort of magic to join me there.))
#ChaseForBook9
Adra you're leaving? Why? What's going on?
-the other rune turns blue-
Now, what is a defining moment that was of Danni..?
((Hellelujah))
(Okay. Forget my comment then.)
(Blowing out her little brothers first birthday candle. Her brother is pretty much everything to her..)
((I am actually telling her to get out of Hell. Rather, my version of it. And the rest of you would not be able to hear us. My apologies- I ought to have clarified.))
...
I am not sure how to answer that.
#ChaseForBook9
-the final rune glows blue-
-kneels down next to her again, placing my hands on her temples-
It's.. It's done. You need to stand up, Rose. Stand up.
(Or perhaps meeting her brother for the first time in the hospital....)
Exactly! You say I can't stay here- which I agree on- but let it be know that we aren't going to let you stay here for much longer. Part of the reason you're dead in our world is because I killed you, so I already feel bad about that. That being said- so many are, excuse my pun, hell bent on saving you.
Just so we're on the same page
*She whimpers softly* I... I can't... I don't want to...
Adra... You should get out. If this is Niccolo's own PERSONAL hell, he should be able to manipulate it. And, Niccolo has done some fucked up things; I'm not sure you want to be inside his head..
-squeezes her shoulders-
It's okay, Rose.. Just stand up.
Not sure I want you in my head, Aiden. Considering that you left me for dead.
(Aiden, Niccolo is quite the remarkable man. He's saved so many lives on so many different occasions, including mine. He's rather sweet at times. It's his names that make him psychotic.)
*shifts*
HEy.
Sorry for my odd appearance last night/this morning/whatever. It was... Disappointment can kind of scramble the brain, y'know.
(That said, though, my brain is generally quite scrambled anyway. :P )
Um. IDK If I'm here. I should be revising or drawing or thinking or cleaning or something.
#ChaseForBook9
((My apologies- I must go. I shall return later.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Taia *hugs* That's quite alright- yer good. As well- you're welcome to stay, of course, if you don't have anything else to do?))
((Alright))
You should be flattered. I trusted that you could use your brilliant abilities to get out of Limbo. I would get out, RIGHT now. He tried to KILL Aretha. You don't want to be there..
((Hiya Taia!))
I can't... *Slowly sits up and clutches her head* Ow... What...? What happened...? *Rests against Aiden and closes her eyes* I don't remember....
(Hey Taia!!))
But you don't know a damn thing, ta.
*carefully sits on her bag again and waits*
Nothing happened. Don't worry about it, just try and get some sleep.. -opens up a flask, filled with a glowing liquid-
Drink this.
(Bye Niccolo....))
Blueberry (the dragon): *swoops down and lands on Rhydian's shoulder*
So, Adra. I've been meaning to ask... Where are you even from? What town?
