Just to let you know that World Book Day is this Thursday (well, it is in this part of the world, anyway) and to celebrate Alex Barclay and myself will be holding two events. The first, in Kildare, is pretty much sold out, but the second one is in Easons in O'Connell Street, Dublin, at 6 PM. We'll be there, talking about... stuff... and books... and writing... and, er... annnnnyway...
Because this is somewhat last minute, I'm not expecting that many people to turn up to the Dublin event, which means it'll be a lot more casual and chatty than usual. If you're interested, get in touch with Easons to reserve a place, and we'll see you there.
Toodles.

2013th comment!
HEY

*furrows brow*
Cute?
... Or not :'(
I AM AUSTRALIAN
Brb
I won't be on for a while... I'm wifi-less until Firday night...
*hums*
"As above, so below,
place your bets, which way the head will roll!
Made in your, image we, are, at least, as twisted as thee...
'fore your eyes, what a curious sight!
Your, children have turned on you!
And you say, you don't sleep well at night, well,
we'll take care of that for you!
Belle Marie, Antoinette, love the pearls!
They'll make a great tourniquet!
Never did as you should, and you claimed, it was all for our very own good....
'TWAS A LIE! A magnificent lie,
now, your subjects have turned on you!
And you claim, you had lots on your mind, well, we'll take care of that for you..."
My word, I have MISSED The Headless Waltz...
Ah, that's right... You are Aussie... I kept thinking you were American... *Purses lips*
Rose; LOL
Sparky; Yes. It is! Spivy!
(Death, I'm alone :'( I live in NZ)
*Yells* EVERYONE HELP MAKE SHARKY DANCE!!
*claps for Rein*
TALL AND TAN AND YOUNG AND LOVELYYYY
THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA GOES WALKING
What if they couldn't find the dictionary
What if they couldn't find the dictionary
What if they couldn't find the dictionary
Adra
Stop
What sort of pedantic knave do you think he is *starts laughing too hared to keep up the italics*
#ChaseForBook9
*Contemplates Sir's poetry*
HI VAL
*rolls around on the floor next to Sir* YAY DANCING
*Laughs at Aretha* It's true!! And funny!!
ARETHA you know it was hilarious
Okie dokie then, Phire! Yay!
@Adra: Um...I read American Studies at University, so I know the states :P
I meant, do you live there or...? Because I have a year abroad (starting next August) and I'm going to DC/Virginia which isn't TOO far, in the grand size of the US :P
#chaseforbook9
Poetry? Oh my, Sapphire, no, it is no poetry, and I could never compose such excellent lines. It is the closest to an above-water representation of The Headless Waltz. If I may presume to provide a link...? I do believe it is a common practice in Blogland, to write out the lines to songs which you enjoy?
Thank you Sparky *huggles*
I dedicate this page to the ships of the Blog. Every ship is different and special in their own way. Even if some I never will be able to physically ship EVER. I also dedicate to friends and family because they are special and even those who fight in the end are back. I dedicate to peace because it is needed in order to surive. With that this goes to the older Bloglandians who never come, Sparky Nix Zath the lunatic Aussies i know and miss :) Lastly to Adra Dark, I know I have been pretty bitchy to you and I feel bad so I decided to apologize via a dedication to you.
This is one that so kills my OC but: I give a dedication to Niccolo and Aretha, out of character I truly hope you both find happiness, no matter what.
Hi Ari! *tackleglomps* *Grins like a shark* (Speaking of which, Death, just grab his fins and spin him around in a circle)
Hi Val! Why do people keep popping up when I mention them?
Oh. I used to but after the divorce I moved to Ohio/Kentucky
Hey Ari! Hey Coco owes a little lady a dance *points to Alexis in her corner*
*raises glass* hear hear. Thanks, Zaf
Ahh, goddammit. I was contemplating making a very long stick to poke you with, but Ohio/Kentucky is just that little bit too far :/
Okay if anyone else has a ship involving me in it you may as well just throw it out here now while I'm still in shock
HEAR HEAR ZAFFY!!
Nice ded *raises glass*
America is one continent the real me hasn't lived in. America, Africa and Antarctica :)
Nice ded, by the way.
Vath
No
Zath would kill me
ValxBusStopCreeper
Excellent dedication, Zafira.
Flora; *Laughs* A VERY long stick :P
Val; NEVER! FANGIRLS WILL TRIUMPH! (For some reason, I'm a little hyper today.)
Okay I've decided being shipped with people is weird alright
Adra, Gilbert is a creepy stalker.
GILBERT
I SHIP YOU WITH GILBERT
AND FLOWER CROWNS ;P
Adra; Oh yeah! Gilbert, wasn't it?
Valbert! Oh, I love ship names...
HOW CAN YOU EVEN SHIP ME WITH FLOWER CROWNS WHAT EVEN
*claps for Momma still in corner*
Valkyrie, I heartily agree with you. Even the idea of sharing an apartment with another individual...
Awh Florabell... *hugs*
I JUST WANT TO DANCE AGAIIIIIINN
I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL THESE YEARS TO DANCE AGAIIIIIINNN
*is behind Val*
Hello.
Odd, isn't it?
IT WORKS VAL
*looks slightly embarassed but nods in thanks and pours self wine*
*Grins at Zaf* Come on out of the corner! Dance! Tease Sir! Ship Val!
*nods to Sparky* Yes, it's exceedingly odd.
I didn't even know sharks had apartments...
Woah, this is getting out of hand...
*nervously looks around*
*steps back, into shadows, before someone can start shipping me*
mwahahah
Do you want to dance so we can satisfy Saph?
*winks and laughs*
Adra I'm pretty sure those people in Seattle shipped us if they thought we were getting married
What even
WE'RE FOURTEEN
Thats Alexis in her corner....I'm out here by everyone I think she is close to tears
Oh my god Saph for a second my eyes re arranged your words and read "strip tease Sir" and oh mY FUCKING GOD
ADRA I DID IT TOO OMG
... I feel as if I should egress rather quickly now...
EM AND I ARE MARRIED BY THE WAY
SHE'S MY HUSBAND
SAME I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO POINT IT OUT OMFG
*pokes Sharkboy* No!
*shoots him with green*
GUYS
GUYS
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW
Sharkboy...?
Val, e-mail.
*sips wine* (not Tumblesoz I cant get drunk in fromt of Coco I would try to kiss him)
Like Sharkboy and Lavagirl.
Do you prefer sharkman
Super Shark?
SHARKNADO
Yes, Sir, you have been forever condemned to animal-hood!
You, along with another select few, are going to be giving animal nicknames forever!
I think I embarrassed Saph :3
Thank you for the (out of character) sentiment, Zafira, however I must admit I am rather perplexed as to why so much emphasis is being placed on any existing potential for a relationship betwixt myself and Aretha... Also, in regards to your most recent remark, perhaps I ought to leave...
#ChaseForBook9
I feel that I am perhaps the more embarrassed one. And I am curious as to why my species is my identity, to you all.
*pokes Sir in the face*
I switch between both Sir Rein and Sharkboy.
Hello-
You're a Shark
Who can breathe.
On land.
FROM THE PENINSULA.
Grief. It's either that or Webster
*deep sigh* Valkyrie, please refrain from doing that? I am entitled to personal space, you realize.
Niccolo no dont I am fine *goes to him speaking so he can hear but not Alexis* Niccolo, you may want to go to Alexis, Brave asked her to the Ball and he never came and she is pretty upset, maybe you can cheer her up if you dont feel comfortable I understad, oh and nice tux
Sorry, I disappeared for a bit, and then I came back and read the above comments and I fell off the sofa, I was laughing so hard XD (Although I wasn't particularly balanced on the sofa. I was upside down.)
Others in the same 'boat' as you include Flame Phoenix!
And much, much more!
*blurs up behind Adra*
Also-
*picks her up and throws her in the lake*
Revenge.
Flaaaaaaame
God love that boy.
*screams bloody murder*
*begins to drown*
I.. Fear I must leave you all. Good evening.
*is trying so hard to stop laughing*
*Softens voice* Hey, Alexis, don't give up hope. The Ball isn't over four another ten and a quarter hours. He might turn up.
*for
It's quarter past three
Why the hell am I still awake omg
To be honest, I think I ought to disappear off to bed.
So, g'night m'lovelies!
*hugs everyone* <3
#chaseforbook9
*sighs and ives into the lake and drags Adra out*
Baby.
Thank you, Zafra. Certainly. *approaches Alexis and offers hand* May I have this dance?
#ChaseForBook9
NO! Bye Sharkboy! *hugs*
*Sighs and uses water manipulation to pull Adra out the lake*
Bye you two!
*spits water out at Sparky* Meanie
Goodbye Sir, Flora.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks up at Niccolo in complete and utter shock taking his hand* O-of course Niccolo *has a small smile form on lips*
*heaves Adra over my shoulder and takes her to the upper floors of the treehouse*
Dry off.
Get changed.
Go downstairs.
And keep being a gorgeous party goer.
Bye Flora! Bye Sir! Best of luck not losing your dictionary! *laughs hysterically*
#ChaseForbook9
Gtg, sorry! Bye!
*sees smiling but doesnt say a word just sipping wine looking very happy for Alexis*
*tries to walk*
*falls in lake*
I HAVE GRADE A TRANSPORTATION, VAL
SUCK ON THAT
*does change into a new dress*
AH I KNOW WHAT TO PICK
Bye Saph!
#ChaseForBook9
Eh I may...*takes out bottle of Tumblesoz* LOOPY WINE!! *takes delicate sip*
*teaches Alexis basic step for whichever dance matches whatever song is currently playing, then dances properly*
#ChaseForBook9
I'M SORRY
I PROMISED THAT I WOULD WEAR IT
*decides to watch Zafira very carefully*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Sapphire! *waves*
(Ugh, if I vanish it's because I got really sick suddenly and I feel super light headed and stuff.)
Zaf, a whole bottle of that can throw you over the cow- be careful
*watches Niccolo and copies him and then is able to actually dance with him properly looking totally thrilled to dance with him*
(That's okay, Val)
Your dress is not very much more revealing than Aretha's. Is it not considered fashionable nowadays to wear such things?
#ChaseForBook9
I be careful! I only half half a bottle...*takes another sip grinning at Niccolo* (if she kisses you I apologize do feel free to smack her into reality)
My condolences, Valkyrie. I hope you feel better.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Val* okay- feel better broseph.
OH yeah- Ari's dress.... *wags her eyebrows at Niccolo* Someone liked it.
I mainly like this one because of.. A salsa.
ZAF
Adra.
*calls her over*
Sorry for nearly killing you.
*Hums to Riptide while dancing with her reflection*
It could be worse... People wore swimsuits to one of the afterparties last year.
*nods*
I don't remember if anyone went skinny dipping. I feel like someone did, but.. .i'm not.. quite... sure...
Whaaaat? I be good Adra!
*rolls out of the lake and throws potatoes*
*laughs* It's fine- I usually can swim normally. You just caught me by surprise.
Oh..
Also- everyone seems to want to kill me right now, so one more isn't that big of a deal.
Zaf, I've got my eye on you
*dodges potatoes*
After the ball, Fabi... I'm intrigued though! I can't wait
Do you want to dance, to make up for it?
I could find a dress and everything.
I promise I wont touch Niccolo! I'm not actually drunk, yet. I figured I gotta stay sober if I wanna dance
*raises eyebrow* I can assure you I had no hand in her choice of attire.
...However, I would be lying if I said she looked anything less than stunning. Not as though she isn't always.
#ChaseForBook9
Ooooh Niccolo be good boy! *sips winr*
*does her best not to scream at his response and begin hyperventilating again. That would be inconvenient*
Ah, Sparky- you don't have to!
*shrugs* But it you want
*mumbles quietly* Can she please be sober for once?
Heh... Like I said, it's pretty bad.
[Shrugs] Okay, though.
Hello, all.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* I still want to know, Fabi
*hugs* Hi
I'll dance with you, Death! Unless you'd rather dance with your reflection. Either way. *tacklehugs Death* *helps her up so she can go back to dancing*
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs back*
If it'd make you feel better.
I AM sober!
Javier: good god you wont get told yes by him Zaf
*glares and goes to le bean bags slightly angered*
*starts dancing to "Hakuna Matata"*
*shrugs dramatically* It's just dancing, Sparky- it doesn't matter!
Jesus wept, woman
*shrugs dramatically back*
But would it help?
*finishes dance, spins Alexis out, and bows* Thank you for the dance. You're a natural.
*frowns* Why were you hyperventilating, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
HELP WHAT?!?!
*Pushes reflection away* I'll dance with you Ari! Sorry if I'm a bit distant, I'm making my little brother's birthday cards!
Hi Fabi! I feel like I haven't said hi to you yet! So hi!
#ChaseForBook9
*shrinks back*
Sorry...
Ah- because I screamed when Aretha kissed you and then I began to have an asthma attack and my throat was closing up and I couldn't breathe.
It was just-
No
NO
Adra- NO. DO NOT START THIS AGAIN.
Zaf, you do have children for whom you should be setting a good example.
[hugs Adra back] Okay, I'll tell you after the ball, then.
#ChaseForBook9
Nu Sparkyyyyy
*smiles looking up at Niccoloe* T-thank you, Niccolo...*smiles wider and just hugs him tightly* Thank you...just thank you so much. Brave never came and...I think my dream litterally just came true...*tries to not start crying from happiness*
*shakes head*
S'okay.
I need to go anyway.
*walks out of the ballroom*
*hears about the kiss lets out a sharp cry and shadow-walks to own treehouse*
Hi Ari
No you haven't, I just got here.
Wbd, working on the same unfinished animation.
[Sort of dances around randomly]
#ChaseForBook9
See you, Sparky
[Waves]
#ChaseForBook9
Great.
2 people.
*wanders after Sparky*
Good job, Adra- you made 2 people mad! Yay!
*whispers* Sparky
Sparkyyyyyy
Is this the part where you stab me/
Anytime, Alexis. I have always enjoyed dancing. My condolences in regards to Brave's lack of attendance.
*stares in utter shock and disbelief at Adra* ...
...You mean to tell me that was not a hallucination?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, that's nice of you, Death! And you don't have to push your reflection away, if the two of you were having fun. I just thought I'd offer, because it looked like you just didn't see anyone else to dance with.
#ChaseForBook9
*Puts a hand to her head* Ow... Actually, I might have to take a raincheck, Ari... *Closes eyes tightly*
Um- no, I just sometimes get really emotional about things. And because of alchemy it gets amplified.
But yeah
That happened
*pauses*
Adra it's fine.
*lets go of Niccolo and kisses his hand gently* I saw my mother do this for a friend when she was at the one party for her one German Elder friend...she said her mother taught her to do that when she was thanking a good friend. *blushes slightly*
Death, are you okay?
#ChaseForBook9
*comes into Ball almost dying of shock* ARETHA kissed NICCOLO? Holy shit!
Oh. I suppose that explains a lot. Um.
...
I hope Zafira is alright.
Hell naw- you aren't pulling that card on me. Noooooo way. Nope.
You are going to dance and it is going to be fun and it will be awesome because no one gives a shit that we're both girls and anyone who judges can take a rocket and fly into the sun and die.
Got it?
now come on, woman!
*Smiles* I'll be fine, I swear! Just gimme a sec... *Leaves Blogland to find some painkillers*
Are you ok, Death? Headache?
#ChaseForBook9
Explains a lot of..?
Yeah, really had headache... I can't concentrate...
*smiles*
Adra, it is a pleasure to know you.
But I can't change into a dress anymore.
Then wear super badass battle gear
*comes into Ball almost dying of shock* ARETHA kissed NICCOLO? Holy shit!
T-thank you, Alexis... *just sort of stands there in shock, looking everywhere but at Aretha*
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
Way ahead of you.
Oh... I'm sorry, Death... *hugs* I hope it goes away.
#ChaseForBook9
GOOD!
*drags her back to the ballroom* Now. DANCE!
*dances*
*ships Nikola Tesla*
*holds his hand anyway squeezing it gently* She did kiss you, as for my mother she isn't too good...I think you rather not go into her head...something about wanting to strangle people was mentioned last time something happened like that with you and Aretha
:O I got a headache once that I went half blind and had to travel on an airplane back home.
And more.
BUT IT WAS HELL I FEEL YA MAN
Back. *Rubs head*
I hope you feel better soon, Death.
[Sits off to the side eating chocolate]
#ChaseForBook9
*jabs at Adra* Oi, go on Facebook message thing.
*paces treehouse* oh bloody hell oh...*buries head in hands checking on sleeping Olivia* Oh good...*goes out to living room taking a few moments to compose self*
*twirls Adra*
HARPERLEE GOD VAL
*spins*
See? You're not that awful of a dancer, Sparks
Ah... *clears throat* Thank you, Alexis, for everything- I am lucky I am able to call you my friend. But I, um... I must excuse myself... *forces a smile, then walks quickly away*
#Chaseforbook9
*chuckles*
I try.
You should also peek at Skype, btw.
Okay, I think I've regain part of my concentration, at least enough to carry out a decent conversation... Or dance..
*looks in shock and finally just says to the air* Niccolo called me a friend...he never did that before....*is in total shock*
Oh dear... *follows Niccolo out*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh...
#ChaseForBook9
*Is so confused* SO MUCH IS HAPPENING
VAL WHY ARE YOU WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO DO YOUR SCHOOLWORK
HI FABI
*goes to the Ball again looking slightly calm*
BECAUSE ADRA I WAS GOING TO DO IT BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE I WAS EXCITED FOR LSODM AND COULDN'T FOCUS
ALSO, I PROCRASTINATE
HI ADRA!
Hi Zaf!
[Offers chocolate]
#ChaseForBook9
HELL, VAL.
HELL
*Puts in earphones and sits down with a small bongo between her knees* *Hums along with Fly*
Hi Val, hi Sparky.
...I'm not entirely sure I greeted anyone when I came. [facepalm]
#ChaseForBook9
Hiya
Can i get this?
Is no one going to ask where Rose got a bongo?
No?
Okay.
I've always got one! Even at school!!
Thank you fastness
I dedicate this page to...the Ball. I think I just had the best moment of my life right here at the Requim Ball...I'm in disbelief....I dedicate to everyone here tonight for it being such a lovely time! *goes off to sob hysterically*
Hi Death.
My Dad got a bongo for Christmas, from his brother.
#ChaseForBook9
*reenters room, pulling Niccolo along* Yeah, it's a dance, and we're supposed to have fun. *grins* Also, I might do something interesting like kiss you again, so you should be here for that.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises glass*
*looks on Tumblr*
GOD Tesla was a babe :3
Oh....*isnt able to look at Aretha feeling slightly upset*
*chuckles at Nikola Tesla because OMIGOD*
*begins to hyperventilate*
Um. *looks slightly paler than usual* That... That isn't helping...
#ChaseForBook9
I may need to leave for the fact I do not think I can handle this at all (just Zaf as a character)
