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.

And now I have nothing to read.
Darn.
SPARKY! Hi! *waves*
SPARKY! Bye! *waves*
Great ded, Hunter. Do we have different radioactivity-tolerances in the future, or do we just not drink the milkshakes?
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: Yay!
Now all we need to do is learn how to count forwards!
#ChaseForBookNine
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
HEY TAIA!!
Oh. You can already do that . . .
But can you count SIDEWAYS?
#ChaseForBookNine
zath, i have control over ice. im the penguin king, i melted it with mt powers
hello taia
It's possibel to count sideways?
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes.
#ChaseForBookNine
How?
#ChaseForBookNine
Well that's boring...
*falls into the lake and manipulates the water to allow me to sink to the bottom, still dry*
Well, if I knew, I'd be able to do it.
#ChaseForBookNine
*freezes lake again*
WAIT, I only just realised Ink had just quoted Enough.
I'm SLOW today.
You have got to be kidding me.
*floats to the top again and slams through the ice with the air*
*climbs out and sits again*
No more tampering with ice.
i can use electricity as well if i cant use ice *grins*
I LOVE ENOUGH.
I used to quote it, like, always. Eve said that when it came on she recognised it instantly, despite never having heard it before.
XD
Now, I vary my quoting. Mostly. Well, I mostly try not to quote. Or to spam. Because I realise that it must get annoying. Sometimes I succeed. *nods proudly*
#ChaseForBookNine
*frowns at sketch*
This turned out better than I expected.
YAY! :3
OOOOH AND IT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING WHICH I'LL DO LATER :3
HEY STAR!
What, it's not SUPPOSED to be like that? But it looks GREAT.
(Seriously, I didn't realise until you said that and I zoomed in. I thought it was made of, like, colourful rubber-bands or something. I was like 'THAT-IS-SO-COOl'. xD )
HEY MISSY! HI SHEDLOCK! :)
Hi EM! Hi ZATH! :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Zath: Tip for avoiding ice - move away from the lake?
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh my gosh, Hunter. Genius.
#ChaseForBookNine
Rachel won't like that, Ed... *shrugs and hums Torn because now I'm listening to the Indestructible album*
Hello, Taia.
@Taia: *laughs* Sorry to disappoint. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, thanks, Hunter.
I totally hadn't thought of that prior to now.
*makes it begin to snow* snowball fight
WHEE SNOWBALL FIGHTTTTT!!
*tosses snowball at Star*
@Star: *laughs, too* It's not disappointing, it's just not what I thought it was. :P
SNOWBALL FIGGHHTTTT.
#ChaseForBook9
*builds snowman and hides behind it throwing snowballs*
@Zath: The ice could have frozen the water in your brain to slow our thoughts down. Just slightly. You know, like toothpaste.
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't think it did, Hunter.
*tries to duck under snowball, trips on dress and faceplants into snow*
Uhrm.
*chucks snow back at Zaiya*
*chucks snow at Taia* Yay? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: I think your brain is constantly filled with toothpaste. That's why it doesn't work.
#ChaseForBookNine
*is hit on the arm from snow*
OHMYGOLDENGODIT'SCOLDDDDDDDDDDD
*shivers*
*throws more snow at everyone*
@Zath: Well, you wouldn't realise, because your brain would be slow to comprehend things.
@Ez: And your brain doesn't even have the excuse of toothpaste.
#ChaseForBookNine
*makes meters of snow fall from the sky* avalanch!
OH SHIT I LOST MY EZ PROFILE.
*tosses snow at people* YA!
@Zaiya: I am warm in my coat of paint. See, paint is useful!
*shivers, fingers turning blue*
#ChaseForBOokNIne
@Hunter: My brain doesn't need an excuse.
#ChaseForBookNine
ARGHHHHHHHHHH AVALANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *is buried*
*clambers out of snow and opens fire on Edward*
#ChaseForBookNine
*hides from star in the snow*
I SHALL GET YOU!
*tries to march about looks for Ed* *trips over*
#ChaseForBookNine
*looking
#ChaseForBOokNine
*tackles Miles*
*is buried under snow*
*uses shadows and pops back out*
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
@Star: Paint is very useful in this situation :3
*creates solid ice sheild in the snow*
Me, Hunter and Ez all msd. My brother might force me to play with him under the threat of being attacked and tied up.
#ChaseForBookNine
"I think your brain is constantly filled with toothpaste. That's why it doesn't work."
*tries really hard not to laugh*
Ezter(?) is FUNNY, okay? :P
*is hit by snowballs*
*uses dinosaur-powers to RAWR the avalanche to a halt, because I can do that. :P)
#ChaseForBook9
*is tackled*
That came out of bloody no where.
Hello again.
@Zaiya: NECROMANCERS SHOULD BE USED TO BEING COLD!!!!
YES. *nods* *chucks snow at her*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello.
*pins him and grabs his head with both hands, shocking him*
@Taia: *HUGS* Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means a lot to me. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
There were just about six cop cars all driving past my house chasing someone
What's going on
I WANT TO KNOW
*scowls through the pain*
You know... how much... I hate that...
Thank you, Taia. :) I would appreciate not being addressed to as Ezter, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ivy.
Help me.
@Star: IDK. I HATE BEING COLD. AND I HATE BEING HOT. I HATE SUMMERRRRRR. AND I HATE WINTER ESPECIALLY IF IT'S A COLD WINTERRRRRR. I can never make up my mind *shrugs*
*dodges snow*
*tosses more snow at Star*
*and everyone else*
*sits and crosses legs, waving a hand*
Nah, I think I'll just watch.
*stops shocking him and slams fist into his nose before getting up and retreating to the balcony*
Thanks, Taia!
*stares at Ez in shock*
EZTER WAS MENTIONED AND SHE DIDN'T EXPLODE.
Compliments are useful cushions.
Let me try that again.
Hey, Ez, you look nice today - EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER EZTER!
#ChaseForBookNIne
HI SPARKY! :)
@Star: *is HUGGED / HUGS back* :3
Hi VAL! :)
@Ez: Hm, alright. I'll try to avoid it, then. Usually. :)
#ChaseForBook9
*flies into a chicken ontop of the snow*
*grabs Hunters wrist and twists it round, hearing bones snap*
#ChaseForBookNine
HELLO VALLLLL!!
*laughs as Ed crashes into the chicken*
*freezes ezmeralda in a block of ice* why are you attacking people?
*puts hand around wrist and heals* Aw. Taia must have superpowers.
#ChaseForBookNine
chicken: cluck
sorry mr. chicken *bows*
@Ivy: UM. I HOPE NOBODY GOT MURDERED?
@Zaiya: :(
How about looking at the postives of both instead of te negatives?
*chucks more snow*
#ChaseForBOokNine
Thank you, Taia. :)
@Hunter: She's a member of the superior ever-correct gender.
#ChaseForBookNine
*curses and gets up*
*staggers backwards and wipes the blood of my face*
*glares up at her*
Hate you.
Also, it's slightly unfair if you use Chester.
There are way too many traps and defenses you could activate if I tried to get to you.
@Ez: I hate the superior ever-correct gender.
#ChaseForBookNine
*is encased in ice* Shit.
I can't teleport or anything beacuse of my dress . . . Hunter?
@Ed: I wasn't attacking you. Keeps your noses out of other people's buisness, or your nose might get chopped off.
#ChaseForBookNine
*runs around holding nose* noooooooooose
((*nose))
*stands in front of Ez, grinning* What do I get for letting you out?
#ChaseForBookNine
*leans on the railing*
I kind of just felt like roughing it in an environment where we can have incidental accidents.
And, anyway, everything's shut down except for the natural shield around the treehouse and you know what.
*waits, inspecting fingernails*
chicken: cluck
my nose is safe now
@Hunter: The satisfaction of having helped a friend in need without personal gain?
I don't trust you. I'm getting myself out.
*fires lasers out of arm* *watches as the ice is burnt away* *reignites hand lightly and runs it over ice, burning*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ez: :(
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: xP
*winces*
If I do have superpowers, I'll say I'm pretty thankful for them. *hides her own wrists behind her back, just in case*
(Okay, like last year, I made my dress. But there's a little less detail involved, this time. It requires a bit more imagination, because I'm too lazy and/or working/working/not working/working to actually draw it now. Testing, anyway. :P )
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: *laughs irl* YOUR PROFILE PICTURE IS GLORIOUS. *hugs* :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*scowls*
Fine.
*pushes at the air to knock her backwards, then runs for Chester*
*uses the air to lift me towards the balcony and climbs onto it*
@Ez: I think the lesson to be learnt is - if you want to break my wrist, do it when people aren't watching.
#ChaseForBoookNine
*stumbles back and trips into a hammock*
Oh, for fuck's sake...
*scrambles out and through the glass door*
@Hunter: I think the lesson to be learnt here is: when someone annoys you, break their arm instead of their wrist, beacuse people are apparently fussy about wrists.
#ChaseForBookNine
Wrists are technically part of the arms.
#ChaseForBookNine
*freezes hunter in ice* its fun to freeze people
chicken: cluck
*uses the air to trip her and runs after her*
@Hunter: I thought you were smart enough to get my point without me having to expand upon it. Apparently not.
#ChaseFOrbookNine
@Ez: Holy cats, lazer arms! That's a handy ability. :P
*huggles Star* Thanks! (:] (<-reversible smile, that. :P)
#ChaseForBook9
Fuck!
*stumbles again and jumps over the banister of the stairs to the second floor*
*teleports out of ice and sticks middle finger up at Edward*
@Ez: I thought you were smart enough to realise how flawed your point was. Apparently not.
#ChaseForBookNine
hey *creates electricity cage that binds magic* ha
@Taia: O_O
(:]
(:]
(:]
O_O THAT'S SO COOL!
You're welcome. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Dammit...
*lunges after her and tosses a fireball*
@Taia: It's laser everything, but I didn't want to burn my dress off. :)
Thanks.
#ChaseForBookNine
*uses momentum for jump to swing my legs back up to meet his chin*
*noms Skittles*
@Edward: *laughs* :P
Brb. Gonna make some kind of heated-consumable-product because my hands appear to be turning blue from cold for some reason. Probably, y'know, the cold.
#CHaseForBook9
*pushes hunter into cage and shuts door not realising im in the cage*
*sprints to the fight simulation room*
*falls backwards and smacks head on the last few stairs before sliding down them to a halt on the second floor*
Ow...
*quietly continues to stalk*
*sits up slowly, shakes head and focuses*
*leaps up, scowls and tears after her*
I love how I'm just essentially talking to myself here. XD
(Uh, that isn't me moaning about being lonely. People are talking to me, and I am responding. I'm just noting how sad my life is that I'm holding a conversation with myself, even though I'm not because Hunter and Ez aren't me, and aren't even really part of me. But you know what I mean. Just clarifying my statement. Which kind of puts more emthasis on the statement that was needed. But oh yeah.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*yells at Val*
YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO SLEEP!
*frantically sets up battle environment*
*hides from Sparky*
But sleeping is boring!
*charges into the simulation room and knocks her to the ground before she finishes*
*clicks fingers and holds the flame close to her face*
Yo.
*teleports out of cage, and uses laser hands (wooh, laser hands. They sound cool when I call them that) to melt lock*
*waves to Edward* Enojy your stay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Lol Val
HEY IVY! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*grins*
Hi.
Five.
*crawls back slowly*
Hey Adra! :)
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU'RE BOTH AWAKE! O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
*frowns at Adra* It's six in the morning where you are. Why are you up?
I don't know, Val.
But I really wanna go back go sleep
Oh please.
*stands up straight and kicks her in the ribs*
hello adra *is electrocuted on cage*
HELLO ADRA!!
*noms more sugar filled stuff*
@Ivy: Because down is boring?
AT ROCKCLIMGING:
Boy 1: *stands there attached to rope, staring up at wall* I'm not too sure which way to go.
Boy 2: Up?
Boy 1: Well, NO, I thought it was down!
#ChaseForBookNine
*grunts and hits the wall behind me*
Four...
*uses it to get up*
Three...
LADIES, PLEASE.
Must we fight
There were only three of us that rocklcimbing session. THREE. The last time there were three of us was . . . well, not since I've been coming to the teenage session, and I've been coming there since I turned thirteen. I'm fifteen next month.
. . .
WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TOO.
#ChaseForBookNine
*TO.
#ChaseForBookNine
Uh, yeah.
*tries to reattach self to conversation*
#ChaseForBookNine
*this month
#ChaseForBookNine
*punches her in the face before she can finish counting*
You know that counting in a fight worries me.
Especially if it's you.
Sorry about that.
Yes, Adra.
Yes we must.
*returns with cup-o'-tea* :3
*huggles Star* Thanks xD (:]
@Ez: Pretty good idea, then. :)
HEY ARDA! :)
#ChaseForBook9
*resumes stirng art and music*
"So can you tell me what exactly does freedom mean
If I'm not free to be as twisted as I wanna be?"
#ChaseForBookNine
Right then.
*hides under her blankets*
Shush.
I'm sleeping
*spits blood in his face and elbows him in the jaw*
One.
*the room changes around us and distorts into a post-apocalyptic city*
*kicks at his knee*
I set it to randomise the environment.
@Hunter: Lazy hands would be handy to keep cold hands as warm hands, too, I think.
*rubs her own hands together vigorously*
@Star: Wow, how many usually attend?
WBD, I think.
#ChaseForBook9
*stumbles backwards and shakes left leg a few times*
Huh.
*looks around*
Well. Cheerful, I'll give it that.
*turns back to her and throws fireballs*
* Laser hands
*facepalms*
I don't know HOW I typoed that. IT's an iPod-type typo. Not a laptop-type typo. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Well . . . nine is the maximum for one instructor. When we have two, we can have more, but we don't often. We often have around six or seven to nine.
And . . . now I have to go. My brother wants me to play DSs with him, and I am scared of refusing such an offer. If I refuse, I shall have to leave anyway, beacuse I shall be attacked and tied up. *nods*
So yeah. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*dives and rolls behind a car*
I think you broke one of my ribs...
*crouches and slows breathing*
Aww, bye Star!! *hugs*
I guess I'm still here. I'm just drawingggg :3
And eating sugary stuff :D
@Star: *nods* Three is rather few, then. But that's a pretty nice number, not too crowded, I guess. *nods again*
Aw, 'kay Star. Bye! *hugs* Have fun. :3
@Missy: YAY! for drawing! And sugar! :3
WBD - homeworks.
#ChaseForBook9
Did I?
Shame. You pulled a me.
...
Kind of.
*lifts the car up with the air and drops it back on her*
*right as the car is about to hit me the environment shifts and changes to the middle of a forest*
Convient.
*sends bolt of electricity towards him*
*follows after it with a right hook and then ducks towards the door*
My belt is on the balcony...
My weighting is off without my knives and sword...
*slams the door behind me*
Typical...
*dives sideways to avoid the bolt but gets caught with the punch and staggers back*
*spins around*
Fine then.
I'll just wait here.
*climbs a tree and hides*
I need to go now...
:(
Darn.
Will you be back later?
Actually, I can stay I just can't fight.
Ah, alright.
Well. *leaps down from tree*
How do I deactivate the simulator?
*chuckles and opens the door*
*flicks it off*
C'mon.
*goes to the balcony and puts belt back on*
Yeahhh
*creates fire and toasts marshmallows*
Hm
Okay.
*sneaks back inside*
*follows her out and pulls the knives, daggers and gloves back*
Now, I really have to decide on a better discipline.
hello adra, i am jonathon apophis
*walks up to electricity cage and forces it smaller around edward*
ow
*has just read "Jonathan's" profile*
*looks at Miles*
Do you think anyone understands overpowering these days?
Funnily enough, I've just done that too. Not even going to bother picking that one apart.
*grumbles*
Some of them.
Not enough of them.
Going now!
bye sparky
Bye, Rachel!
On that note, I've got to go eat now.
Won't be back afterwards, I don't think.
Adios.
bye zath
I try not to depend too much on magic in any case..
im going now, bye if anyone is left?
BYE ZATH AND SPARKY!!
BYE ED!!
Sorry for poofing.
But I need to go.
Because it finally hit me that I have two days to get all of this homework done. I'm not gonna pull it off, but I think I can maybe do something near enough to get by relatively unscathed, if I spend the rest of today and tomorrow, and hopefully Wednesday/Thursday evenings in some cases doing little else but eat/work/eat/work/eat/work. ( :P )
So yeah. *hugs all who take hugs, hands cookies to those who do not*
Bye! *waves*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye!
*waves*
*sits in the ballroom yawning* sorry if I disappear suddenly, by the way
BYE TAIA! *waves*
Loki doki, Adra!
*hums softly, tapping her foot*
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
*pokes around the place* I'm more awake now...
Is no one here?
*calmly waltzes by herself then, amongst the post-party mess*
I hate being female. :/
Sort of here. I'll keep going distant to stare into space, though. Sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
We probably need plans for after-parties.
#ChaseForBookNine
*reappears*
Sorry, had to tidy up my deskkkkk
Wbd, finishing off the cleaning.
Hey, Zaiya. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*appears*
I don't hate being female so much as being treated lowly-
Oh wait.
No
Sometimes I do.
*nods* *continues waltzing*
Silence for about an hour and suddenly three people. Wow.
Hi Dau
Suddenly.
There was three.
Today is the day of my birth.
I don't know why I needed to say it like that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAUUUUUUUUU!! *tacklehugs*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAU
*prances around her, throwing confetti and gives her a skulcake*
Woooo! *tacklehugs back*
Yaaay skulcakes! *noms*
The big one-five.
Hey, Dau. :)
@Adra: Well, being female has a lot of positives. Like, we're the superior ever-correct gender. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
WEEEE!
I'll catch up to you 0.0
But then there's childbirth and all that jazz and just no.
Hi Star! *hugs*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAU!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I was thinking "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAU!" and my fingers started typing "HELLO". Wth.
Anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
THANKS!!! :D
I just realised I'm older than some people on the blog.
Which is weird because I'm always used to being the youngest.
back, happy birthday dau!
@Adra: Exactly.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Ed.
Dau...
You're old 0.0
@Dau: You're only older than me by thirteen days. :P
But a lot of people are twelve and that.
#ChaseForBookNine
Dammit.
I'll DED to the lovely Dau Sketch, because it's her birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAU!!!!!
*raisses glass* hear hear
hear hear
Thank you Edward!
*hides behind computer screen*
*blushes*
*wiggles in chair*
I've never been dedded to before! <3
O.O I'm old.
Old.
Old.
You know, I cry emotionally rather than physically. I'm good at crying emotionally. But then, sometimes I expect to be physically crying anf I'm just . . . not.
In year six, this girl slapped my best friend in the face, and I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying whereas she was kind of fine.
So maybe it's everybody.
Or maybe I just cry normally on a physical basis and extraly opn an emptional basis. My other friend wasn't crying, you know.
I do cry a lot.
So . . . yeah.
*isn't really sure where I'm going with this*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ooh Star your birthday is in 13 days?
You do all know I love you, right?
#ChaseForBookNine
Actually you're only about half a year older than me, so.
*laughs* You aren't that old.
*continues to twirl around Dau, throwing more confetti*
@Dau: Well, thirteen days from my timezone. It's on the fifteenth. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star*
I think it's a good thing, honest. I wish I was as good as words as you are to explain what I mean, but I'm not, so I can't.
But I think it's good.
*hugs again*
We love you too.
@Dau: There are plenty of people older. Like, most of the world. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star* Welove you as well.
