Do you want to write the first bit, or should I?
And you need to write your chapter for A Story of Three too, Val!
*is secretly happy that I don't have a personal story blog so you can't bug me about it*
I guess I can write the first part since I'm the one looking for you :P
*looks at time* oh my golden god...
I hav eto go, bye!
Will be distant. Endeavoring to write.
Au revoir, Kessie!
BYE KESSIE!
Sh*t... It's 12:30
I gtg too..
BYE EVERYONE!
I wish people would bug me to post new chapters on my personal blog... Though there's only two for the moment.
Bye, Jubi!
Ok-Aretha, you need more chapters on your personal blog!!!!
Going to post a new chapter of MC
Oooh-I <3 new chapters!!!! Yay!
[should be working on mine...but, yeah.]
Well, I can't post one now... *is simultaneously writing a paper, doing a powerpoint, writing a chapter, and watching a show at 12:30 AM* But I'm working on it! I'll post chapter three tomorrow, how's that?
YES!!! DEATH, I WANT TO READ YOUR NEW CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...
Posted!
*Completely pointless but fun*
Isn't it amusing, messing with your character's mind?
Nice one!
Serpine is quite the character!
I really need to write one now. Wbd.
OHMYGOSH- GREAT CHAPTER!!!! I'm actually really glad I got to read that before I post my next chapter- it will be equally "pointless but fun". Though, maybe now that you've posted that, I'll further my internal plot workings a little more... can you give me a description of the room I was tortured in? (that was such a weird question to ask)
Actually, it's kind of ironic- in a pretty twisted way- that my only magical friend so far in MC just watch me get tortured half to death... I'll come back for you, don't worry. :)
Okay, the room is made out of dark grey stone, the table is a browny-red colour, the straps are light brown. There is a metal, almost surgical, cart in the far left coner full of torture instruments... The door is made out of old mahogany wood with golden nails. There ate no windows and it is lit by torches in brackets...
Nah, I'm gonna do something evil and twisted and out right hilarious!
Alrighty then- thanks for that!
Is it just me or this 'Man with Golden Eyes' that is constantly featured in the books, remind you of Mr. Mevolent or the Unnamed?
Yamuna Matata Aretha!
Ember, if by any chance you are still in the vicinity, how does Ember-the-character heal? Does she make a gesture of some sort? Do yellow sparkles flow from her fingertips? Does it just happen when she stares?
*Hakuna
Unnamed...hmm...
Also, I'm pretty sure I know how Val is going to become Darquess for good...
*Bites lip*
Don't tell me!!!!!!
Shai says to warn you.
She doesn't say what I'm supposed to be warning you about.
Yeah... Hakuna Matata, for sure... >.> *was tortured for hours*
I'll be fine! I'm clever when I wanna be!
*Thinks of daring escape from the cell in the cellar*
*Smiles and nods*
[Shrugs] That cellar escape was pretty good.
Thanks!
Sorry, I just wrote an introduction for my profile...
I loved that escape, one of my best, if I do say so myself!
Yeah, it was a pretty good one.
It's ok. I also am distant. Your introduction is amusing!
FABI
FABI
FABI
Fabi, if YOU are in the vicinity:
The part that she's healing (in this case it was your whole body) has a gold aura, as well as her hands.
Oh you are here. OK
Ok, thanks!
Yeah, I was that beat-up after Mev.
Thanks Aretha and Fabulous!
Fab, you could get captured then you'd be shown to me then I'd stop then I'd get killed! Ah, I'm plotting my downfall already!!!
That can't be good...
http://m.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/burglars-targeting-empty-homes-through-facebook-search/story-fnat7jnn-1226551332286
I usually am. I can never JUST write. I have to multi-task. I have an interesting brain...
I plot my own downfall rather a lot...
I have to be somewhere out of sight to write... It makes me edgy when people are in the same room...
Same...I also usually listen to music. It keeps me awake.
If I'm in the dining room and Mom's in the living room, though, even though they're basically the same room just divided by a couple of partitions, it's ok. Idk why.
I need a hug :'(
[hugs]
What's up, Saphy?
There's this guy I've liked for years, and he's my best friend in all the world. Today, I decided to tell him that I really like him.
So he comes bounding up, a huge smile on his face. I asked him why he was so happy, and he said that he asked out the girl in his class that he likes and she said yes.
I really, really need a hug. (Thanks Fabi)
*Hugs Sapphy tightly*
Life is cruel to all the good people in the world...
I'm sorry, Saph. [hugs again]
*tighly hugs Sapphire* I'm so sorry... That's really just cruel...
Thanks :) You guys are so nice :)
Thanks :) You guys are so nice :)
Alanis Morisette
On second thought, maybe not the best choice...
Any time, Saphy.
[switches]
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Couldn't be worse
I love that song :) Thanks, you've cheered me up a bit. I guess when they split up I'll tell him.
There's always the possibility he really likes you, but doesn't want to ruin the friendship you already have, and he asked the other girl out to see how you'd react...
[shakes head sadly]
I sound like Sir Toby...
I guess. You know the really weird thing? I actually told him once. We were seven, outside looking at the stars and I had my head on his shoulder and I said 'I love you Alex.' he smiled and hugged me and said 'I know. You too.' He just thought I meant it in a friendly way :(
[hugs again]
I shouldn't make you sad. It's not the end of the world :) I'll be fine. And I'll tell him eventually.
*Still hugging*
I was just acting like a supercameraninja...
*is hugged by Death and Fabi* :)
Saph...I totally get it. And it's ok. I carry other peoples problems a lot.
Death, cameraninja is my job!!!
*people's
*supertacklehugs Sapphire* Oh my God, that's like one of those really depressing yet perfect movie plotlines...
A lot of life is like a movie plot line...
Ikr
I said SUPERcameraninja!
Aretha! You're right!!
I just poked myself in my eye!!!!!!!!!
Why? Doesn't poking yourself in the eye hurt?
I could make a whole TV series on Alex and I *rolls eyes* including the time when I had to move and he offered to hide me in his attic.
Hmmm... A ************* would be cool...
How did you poke yourself in the eye?
I accidentally did it! I was rubbing my eye lid then lost feeling in my arm and hand (happens a lot!) the my hand slippled into my eye!! Yes! It hurts!!!!
*Laughs anyway*
*Laughter stops*
I'm sorry Sapphy...
*Hugs tighter*
And that finger had a pointy nail!!
Ouch. Must have hurt.
[****, * ********** **** *** ******* *** **** ***** ** ********* ** **.]
Sorry about your eye, Death... *not-so-discreetly promotes new MC chapter*
[reads chapter. grimaces at description of torture. ouch.]
Interesting, Aretha...[muses]
Fabi, I know that is directed at me, but what did it say?
Gah, my internet broke.
Ow, poor you Death. Aretha, I'll go and read the chapter.
Guys, how did you think of your taken names? Just wondering. When Alex (the guy I like) first saw me he thought my name was Sapphire, and it happened to be my fav name at the time, so he always calls me that. It's my name as much as my given name. And then I always thought of Iota as the name of a warrior, someone who doesn't give up, so that suited me. And 'Iota' means small, which also fits me. So I decided on Sapphire Iota.
I still didn't want to make it too detailed; as I said before, some things are far more terrifying when left to the imagination. As of now, Croatoan is definitely my favorite character to write about from my perspective... From his, it's slightly less fun, but only very slightly. Just because it takes some of the mystery out of him.
The asterisks? That was something I almost said to Saph, but thought better of. Optimism isn't my strong suit.
Alex has something to do with practically every aspect of my life :(
My taken name came from my French-Canadian side...Also it came from my brain. The S. stands for whatever i want it to.
My given names are actually more interesting.
Oh.
I am not particularly small.
That sounds cool Fabi. What did you almost say to me btw? Please tell me! *puppy eyes*
I should stop being so mopey... *goes to read MC*
The name Aretha means excellence; something I strive for. But I wouldn't have picked it just for that- it stuck in my head. It just seemed to fit. And I really like being called Aretha- it has a nice ring to it. I picked Tesla for Nicola Tesla- in my opinion, at least, the greatest inventor who ever lived. He's been my inspiration, my role model, since third grade. He's influenced my life so much, it only makes sense that his name should be part of mine.
Hmmmmmm.
Oh. Look! Cheese!
[dodges under question while no one is looking]
Greetings, Vestige!
May I inquire into the ruminations which you have vocalized?
Nice to meet you Vestige!
Aretha, that sounds really cool. I think Tesla was an amazing inventor as well. I just read your MC chapter and it's SO good! Please write more!
I really should be going to bed right now... But I should also be doing work... But I also want to write more... What do I do?!?
Well, you can't do all three at once.
Fabi, PLEASE tell me what you wrote. I promise I won't be angry or sad or laugh at you. I'm dying of curiousity here.
Oh, thanks! Do you guys want another chapter from Croatoan's perspective, or do you prefer the ones from mine? Or should I continue plot developments from my pov, then I'll fill in the gaps with his?
Write!
I picked my name because those were words that called to me! Yeah... Death was one of them... I know... Wierd...
Okay dinner!!
Umm....
I actually don't remember...
I just like being mysterious.
I totally forgot.
Also- I know I can't do all three, so which one should I do?
I should finish my chapter and go to sleep.
Wbd.
Bye, Death!
I prefer your point of view, Aretha.
Not sure, Aretha. Depends on how urgent the work is.
Eh, not very.
WRITE!!!
Be distant!
(Dinner is soon)
Then procrastinate. Write for a bit, then sleep.
Saph-I literally stopped the thought as it left my head. Something along the lines of "I can't keep myself out of other people's shoes," that sounds really weird.
Meyaphorically, of course. Other people's shoes wouldn't literally fit my big feet.
Maybe I'll go to bed... But I promise you guys more chapters tomorrow! Either for my personal blog or the MC, or- most likely- both. Please keep sending me feedback...? I love you all! Goodnight!
Night, Aretha!
*metaphorically
Actually, no, I'll start writing, and then sleep. Yes, this is a good plan. It'll be short- you want something for MC or for my blog?
You've already done a lot of MC today, so how about blog?
Ok, blog time...
Night Aretha :) Sorry guys, my internet broke *growls*
Okay Fabi :) I might go to sleep myself soon. But not yet.
So close to finishing...!
It's ok, Saphy.
Internets will be Internets.
I had a really bad wireless thingy a couple years ago, I understand.
I'm waiting Derek for your legendary tweet! Can someone please ask Derek, if he can do a follow spree the next time he goes on twitter? thanks!xx
Ok, I'm poofig now. Bye guys! *hugs Fabi and Aretha and Death* thank you so much.
Sleep well Aretha :) See you in the morning (although I may update MC before that) Bye :)
Bye, Saphy!
I'm finished with the MC!
I'm sure a bunch of people will ask him. I doubt he'll follow anybody else, though.
[Waves hand at MC post.]
TA DA! IT'S DONE! FINALLY!
Ok, going to sleep now. See y'all in the morning.
*is back*
Sorry, turned out I had to go out somewhere in an hour.
*is distant reading MC posts and replying to comments*
Derek, you got 629 followers now:) Your followers just keeps gaining!
Whoops! Completely forgot I was here.
Hi Fire! Haven't talked to you in a while! How are you?
Hope you didn't leave...
Hi Death!
Um, okay. I'm at the Roarhaven Sanctuary at the mo, but I can be in a park after. I can write to how I get there in my next chapter...
(Just thinking out loud to get the idea, ignore the second and third sentence. You can post yours first.)
Oh- and I commented on yours, the timing one.
*looks at deleted comment that was Death*
You want me to delete mine too, or...?
No, sorry! Parents looked at the iPod and I'm not supposed to be on here...
Thanks! I'll check it out!!
Oh... You'll like my next chapter then...
*Grins evily*
Oh... You'll like my next chapter then...
*Grins evily*
I dedicate this page to MC (Mevolent Collaboration)! Oh, and Louisiana's Bourbon Street Chicken...
*Drools*
*curses ipod*
The server app shut down on me! Sorry Death!
Really?
*can't waits to read it*
Caught up reading! Distant writing!
Warning: may be very distant. I might forget I'm here again.
This Collab sure is big.
Isn't it, Ves? Everyone's posting like crazy!
(Unlike me- who barely has time to read all of them let alone write...)
It's fun though!!!
Almost able to post!
Uck. I'm sick again. No school, but sick.
... Andweweremeanttodoarttoday -_-
Nice, Death!
Dinner, but I'll be around for twenty more minutes. Still distant writing though.
Hi Mara! Sick again as in you got better earlier?
Hi Lav! Hi Death! *waves*
Better not to hug in case I'm, y'know, contagious...
Hey, did you read my MC post? It had your name in it, but right now, I'm saying my character doesn't know yours. You do know Val though, right?
Just making sure.
Lav - Yes. THIS BUG IS GIVING ME FALSE HOPE!
Me or Death, Lav?
Ha ha ha
You, Mara.
That's good you got better! But sucks it got worse again.
Hello Vestige! *waves*
I'm gettijg sick of this bug! Now my brother has it and we're just sitting here, looking at each other kind of awkwardly...
I am really giving my character a hard time... For going to Ireland instead of to the Grand Mage of America(Zaf). Not giving anything about that away if you haven't read it yet. ;)
Lav - Oh, okay. I didn't get to read it yet. One second :) and yep, that's fine and I do know Val. *nods*
Indeed...
*getting
Go read it! And the rest that follows! :D
Okay, posted!!!
I'm going to dinner now, but I'll bbl!
Bye Lav!!
I'll read it after!
Bye!
Lav, that's AWESOME! :) haha I actually felt sorry for the man you had cornered xD
Bye Lav!
Death, I'll read yours now! :)
Thanks!!
Make sure you read the one before, the DeathRose one!!
Hold on, switching accounts...
*Holding on to something*
*Grabs shoe*
I'm holding on!!!
*pokes Death* Haha. Punny.
Shall I assume you are Mara?
Oh, and it's, uh, Mara. Just in case you didn't know.
I won't have to assume now!
Indeed...
Death, your story was awesome! :D I'm reading the newest one now :)
Thanks!!
Hehe. Ian Hearbreak. Funny name. *nods*
I didnt have any inspiration!
It's funny... *giggles*
I CAN'T BELIEVE FABI IS DEAD AND ARI IS BEING TORTURED. DEATH YOU MONSTER. I hope you beat the crap out of your father for hurting your friends.
Nah... Dad will have... A nice ending...
*Grins evily*
And i didn't decide to kill Fab, blame Mevo
*evil laugh*
Same difference.
Oh yeah. I'm meant to be tortured too. Better get writing that.
Oh... More torture...
*Smiles widley*
I should not be enjoying this... I really shouldn't!
No, you shouldn't! Dammit, I don't want Mara to get tortured. Oh well. And she isn't dying either... Don't get any ideas, Death!
Dio mio! Don't kill Nefarian!
I won't kill you... Only...
*Cracks up laughing*
Just wait!!!
I won't kill him... Only...
Not saying!!!
I'm enjoying torturing people too much!!!
Shut up Death! I'm bloody scared now..
On a brighter note, Tangled is on...
It's okay... YOU won't get harmed...
... I'm sure I won't. « sarcasm.
Seriously, just your heart...
*Grins*
I hate you so much...*mutters*
Death, what time is it where you live? (Australia/NZ, am I right?) Just wondering. It's 10:55 am here.
Aus, 9:57pm
Morning everyone
Oh right. :P
I was thinking about making a picture for the MC profile... What do you think? :P
Hi Em!
I think it is bad that I am enjoying torturing people on MC too much... What do you think?
Ohhhhh... That sounds like a good idea!!! What would it be?
I have to say lads, fair play to you all...
That blog has only been going for a few days and 35 chapters already!
That's some work.
*Bows*
Thanks Em! You should add some chapters!!!
Hi Em! :)
It's Mara, just so you know.
Ah no it's okay...
I'll leave the work to ones who deserve the credit.
Death - I don't know actually... Just a pic of Skul and maybe it has 'Mevolent Collab' on it?
BLOGLAND
I sent a MC chapter to Fabi.
Em, please?
Mara, good idea!!!!
Ember watched Fabi sip her tea for a little bit longer before answering.
"What you have to do," she said, "Is follow orders. Think of it this way--you're a chess piece. The players will tell you what to do. You do not think. You must not think. Some pieces are granted higher positions than others, but in the end we're all the same."
Fabi's eyes narrowed. "I want a proper answer. You've done nothing but evade my questions all day and I WANT. AN ANSWER. NOW."
The room was silent except for Fabi's words echoing around the room. Ember stood patiently and waited for her to calm down, and then she sighed.
"I will admit," she said, "That I don't know myself. I'm lucky enough to have been granted access to some of my leaders' plans, but like I said before, my duty is to do what I am told."
Leaning closer to Fabi, she whispered, "Everyone on his side is there because they're afraid they're going to die if they don't. If we manage to convince all of them that they can rebel with us and win, we could take over."
"Well, how do you know that they wouldn't just tell him to get extra-credit-of-sorts?"
Ember winced. "I… I was his doctor, previously. His personal doctor."
Fabi's eyes widened.
Again the room lapsed into silence, but Fabi noticed Ember twitching this time.
"Is there anything else you need to say?"
Ember paused, and then she sighed. "My sister… she's a freelancer, if you will. She switches sides very frequently. You can never trust her, but she will give you incredible amounts of information that is normally unimaginably classified."
Fabi frowned. "Then how do you know she's not telling Mevolent all about our--wait, no--your little group?"
"First of all, like I said, it's not my group. Second, if Mevolent knew she was working for us, she would be dead. Not because he'd kill her, but because… I'm the only one keeping her alive right now. I'm not going to go into it at this particular moment, but…"
"Just tell me what you need me to do right now."
Ember looked slightly upset, as if the importance of her sister's situation had been mocked. "You have a friend, Death Rose?"
"How did you know?"
"My sister, dear. Anyway, do you think you could go and convince her to join our group, as well as anyone else you know? We need people. If we don't have people, we'll die. You'll die, as well."
"Who is your sister, anyway?"
Ember left the room. "You will meet her soon enough," she said as she closed the door.
--------
Her body was slightly translucent and flickered back and forth from sight, as if she were the result of some malfunctioning projector.
Mevolent turned to her. "Any ideas on how to get our prisoners to do what we want? Torture is sometimes unreliable."
She grinned. "Ask my cousins."
"The Remnants are unstable. They cannot be trusted."
"Well, I mean, I can't be trusted either. Besides, you're a scary man, they'll listen to you."
"Please refrain from mocking me."
"Meh."
"You should be severely punished--"
"CAN I USE THE REMNANTS OR NOT?" she screamed, and then she ripped a hole in the wall with her claws.
He sighed. "You may."
She grinned, and ran off to find the room with the Remnants.
-
I only have two chapters up so far :P
-----
Five minutes later, the wall next to Fabi was ripped open and she jumped.
"Heya!" a girl with short black hair and gold eyes yelled, arms outstretched. "Liberty in the house!"
"Who are you?" Fabi asked, backing away.
"I just said that my name was Liberty, you moron."
"Ah, sister dearest," Ember sighed as she entered the room. "How many times have I told you not to destroy the wall?"
"Ceilings are for people with no imagination."
"Anyway, I trust that you have brought good news."
"I have an idea," Liberty grinned. "We could possess Mevolent. Then, we extract the remnant from him. He'd be unconscious for a few minutes, in which time we could kill him! What do you say?"
"Are you sure you could extract it?" Fabi asked.
Liberty grinned. "My dear, you don't know what Em here can do, do you?"
"Er… no."
"Don't you just love surprises?" she smiled. "Bye guys!"
She passed straight through the other wall.
And I've put two chapter up!!
If someone could post it, that would be awesome... since I can't for various computer-related reasons.
No Death, I'm not good at writing Skulduggery characters.
I would but I just cannot write Skulduggery characters for the life of me...
You'd be writing Emerald Melody!
