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.

I'm really starting to think I've done something wrong...
Sorry instagram

FANDOM AWARDS GOOOOO DIRECTIONERS!
#ChaseForBook9

DEREK PLEASE POST BTW PLEASE
#ChaseForBook9
Greetings, all! I trust you are well this evening?
Miss Charm, that is a beautiful picture.
Thank you, Mr. Holmes.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexandra would love to meet Derek someday.
Alas, she cannot, for a few reasons. She is never in the same country as him, nor is she allowed to actually BE September Silver in the first place. She is supposed to stay ****** *******.
So, even if they met, chances are that she could never reveal to him her true identity as long as her parents were there.
Which is a shame.
You are most welcome, my dear.
☂(I'm referring to myself as Alexandra because a) My fake name's middle name isn't Seneca anymore and b) my REAL middle name is Alexandra.)☂
*waves faintly at Mycroft, drawing a umbrella on his forehead*
*scampers back to her homework*
*quiet*
*stares*
Did you just... did you just...
Never mind. Repeating myself is very tiresome and I shall not do it again.
Greetings, Lady Adra.
(the above comment was completely for you, miss Adra, in case you hadn't noticed.)
*shouts back* SALUTATIONS, MYCROFT
Salutations?
Why, that is a good one. I should have thought of that myself.
☂(I feel like the mood was so quiet there and then you were just like HAI XD)☂
*juggles spheres of water in the corner again*
I JUST FINISHED CITY OF BONES AND OMYGOSH IT WAS SO AWESOOMEEEE :DDD
☂(Don't take me wrong btw, that's a good thing!)☂
Miss Pine, that is a rather interesting talent!
Greetings, miss Glee!
Would you mind explaining to me what City of Bones is?
*screams with Jubi*AAAAAHHDHHHHH JACE IS MINE
Of course you didn't think of it, Mycroft. I am rather original. *flicks her tongue like a snake*
Alexis: HI GUYS!!!!
Greetings to you as well, miss Kerias the younger!
*raises eyebrow at Adra
You... you worry me occasionally.
And by the way, I had thought of it. I was just being polite.
I try to be a gentleman.
Sometimes.
Alexis: M-my name is Alexis
Greetings to you as well, Mister Fletcher!
☂(OH MY GOD. Do you say miss Blah or Miss Blah? Or mister Blah or Mister Blah?)☂
Oh my dear Alexis, lovely name by the way, there is no need for you to be so afraid.
I am not planning on harming you in any way.
There is no need. And, as I'm sure you can tell, I hardly ever do anything without a reason.
greetings
Hi Alexis, Edward.
*makes a pterodactyl noise, swooping from the rafters and snatching up Mycroft's umbrella, running away madly with it*
☂(I love being Mycroft so much :))☂
*runs through corridors dodging traps and jumps over snake pit*
*stares*
I... Alexandra, could you please bring me another umbrella? And could you call a hospital? I fear for Miss Adra's ☂(THIS CAPITALISATION THING BUGS ME TO NO END I SWEAR)☂ mental health.
And Mycroft... unfortunately for you it is a MR Pine.
But don't worry, everyone makes that mistake.
I should be trying to kill you right now, but unfortunately I am juggling.
☂☂hands Mycroft another umbrella☂☂
Why... why is it pink?
☂I thought it would be a good colour for you!☂
I assure you, it is not.
Oh my gosh, Mister Pine, I am so sorry.
My most sincere apologies.
I shall write you a handwritten note in a few days' time.
that was easy *darts fly past*
I cannot believe I made a mistake like that.
☂(I remember at one point I realised you were male and then I just forgot about it)☂
I kinda am stll edgy....
Why, pray tell, are you dodging snake pits?
*runs past, stabbing Mycroft with his own umbrella*
That is fine, Mycroft. But I hope you don't mind if I... *throws each sphere of water at Mycroft, splashing him*
:P
treasure hunting *rolls under swinging swords*
☂(Dragona that's awesome XD)☂
*frowns, covered in blood and water*
☂heals Mycroft☂
☂dries him off with a big fluffy towel☂
How interesting, Trip.
☂(I can't find a way to make that NOT sarcastic XD)☂
Adra...
*stabs her with the pink umbrella*
*pink umbrella has a poisoned tip*
*walks into large chamber filled with gold* where is it?
Also, Dragona, that was not very gentlemanly of you.
We will make you a proper citizen of the world yet.
☂SORRY NOT TRIP I MEAN FLETCHER☂
Dragona's favourite element to control is water. You wouldn't believe the amount of things you can do with it - considering the human body is made of a majority of water.
Once you drain the moisture from the air, the possibilities are nearly endless, anyway.
Trip? Trip isn't here.
*laughs*
Oh...
*looks down*
Oh.
*takes a universal antidote, and chews on a leaf*
☂(wait why didn't I just use the umbrella to block the water ☂☂facepalm☂☂)☂
*walks up to small diamond in the middle and picks it up* i finally have it
A wonderful observation, Mister Pine.
The possibilities are endless only if you know how to use them to your advantage.
Which I am sure you do.
Lady Adra, if you attack me again, I will be sure to hurt you more.
☂And I've just stolen the rest of your medicine supply and burned it :)☂
*a man steps out of the shadows and clubs Ed around d the back of the head with a stick, knocking him out*
#ChaseForBook9
*draws a large target on the wall, then steps thirty metres away from it*
*drains the moisture from the air, and water forms in spheres in his hands*
*throws them at the target, and the air resistance changes their shape to become elongated*
*alters the temperature in the air before they hit the target so they freeze into sharpened ice darts and each hit the bullseye*
Another use of water, in combination of the air.
☂(WAIT! I have a loophole! I'll call everybody Sir and Lady and then I can just capitalise everything!)☂
Speak of the devil.
*steals the umbrella, whacking his head* No
WHAT WAS THAT FOR, AND IM IN A PYRAMID IN EGYPT IN THE YEAR 2000 BC
That is really most impressive.
*looks at the weird man hitting Edward* What have I missed?
Well that wasn't very nice was it Mycroft? *kicks him in the back of the knee, snatches his umbrella, throws it in the air and cuts it in half with his sword*
#ChaseForBook9
*spins round and runs out as earthquake begins*
*juts umbrella into Adra's stomach
STOP IT. BEHAVE LIKE A LADY.
We meet again, Castalan.
☂(see, that one's easy. I don't have to mister or sir this guy.)☂
*sits Mycroft on fire*
(Hey, you should really close your portals behind you.)
#ChaseForBook9
May I remind you, Castalan, that SHE stabbed me first.
ok then trip *pyramid collapses behind him* maybe i will
*sighs*
☂☂heals Mycroft☂☂
Perhaps I have not caught you all at a very good time.
☂(XD)☂
I stabbed you lightly.
*douses Mycroft* It seems you've been raising Cain, Mycroft m'boy. Do stop, would you?
I've gtg, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
bye trip
*raises hands and drains the moisture from the air, then moves it all in front of him in a massive pool*
*pushes the air at the water and creates a tsunami that knocks everyone over*
You made no indication that your stabbing was light.
(☂aw :(☂)
☂(FABIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)☂
Greetings, miss Fabienne. September has sent you an email regarding your latest project.
*blinks at where Trip was*
Huh.
*pulls the umbrella from her stomach* Ow.
*chews on a leaf and pours a liquid with healing properties over her stomach wound*
☂☂re-dies Mycroft with a fluffy towel☂☂
Must you insist on soaking me with either water or blood every few seconds?
I said I stabbed you. By stab I meant poke.
Hello Fabi.
☂(dude no fair I took all your medicine stuff XD)☂
*freezes the water around everyone's ankles so they can't move their feet*
Now, peace. :P
Ah, you see, normally when somebody says stab they actually mean stab.
I guess you are not... very well trained in the ways of communicating clearly.
((EMBERRRRRRRRR! ADRAAAA! DRAGONA! ED!))
Fabienne has responded to said electronic mail.
#ChaseForBook9
☂Alexis, could you be a dear and unfreeze us all with some fire?☂
I have an endless supply. I'm a doctor, and most of my medicine isn't flammable, and it's all hidden away
*creates new portal to ancient greece* another one down *jumps through and closes portal*
Perfect. September shall ...
☂ur...☂
☂I'll look at it XD☂
*unfreezes everyone with fire*
*to Mycroft* I see you are not very well trained in keeping your cool, and jumping to conclusions.
Why thank you, Alexis.
I simply choose not to keep my cool around all of you, because when you sit for hours in meetings you must hold your temper at all times and it is rather difficult to be like that once you leave the meeting room.
And trust me.
I have had the best training Britain has to offer.
((... The neighbors just all cheered in unison, like from all directions, and my Dad downstairs, too. It sounds creepy, but it's actually a football game. Seattle had a really bad play and then scored shortly after. I can tell this without checking. [Nods] Of course, I could be wrong.))
#ChaseForBook9
September has read the email and will respond to it as soon as she can.
She understands your instructions.
*runs from army carrying scroll* sorry *spears thrown and miss by inches*
*mumbles something ad stumbles a bit going by the treehouse*
*clicks fingers and starts juggling fireballs*
☂(Cool, Fabi)☂
*will return in a few mins!
Fabienne, and I (the omnipotent voice attempting to converse formally) shall have to depart shortly. It is the hour in which she must consume her afternoon edibles.
((...I'm really rubbish at this, aren't I? Oh well! XD))
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis, may I inquire about your current health?

Help me guys... This video is really food a good cause. Especially you, Mycroft. I think this would benefit you the most
I regret to say that I am unable to properly view the video on my current technological device.
#ChaseForBook9
I can't walk perfect yet thanks to me managing to land in a coma....Niccolo and Ian tried to help....
☂(fabi yours is awesome XD)☂
And now I must take my leave. Apologies for any inconveniences or annoyances caused by my attempt to speak in this manner.
Good day to you all, whatever time of day that may be.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks up* And I thought Niccolo spoke all proper Enlgish I'm very used to that but he's like a scholar so figures he'd be all proper...
*turns purple after watching the video*
No.
Lady Adra, you have mocked me enough for tonight.
*stabs her in the brain with umbrella*
*appears outside adras lab* two left
☂(Byebye Fabi :) See you soon! I love your posh voice, it's better than mine! <3)☂
bye fabi
*Bye Fabi! *hugs**
*blocks the umbrella* AY, MYCREYYYY
☂(SERIOUSLY ADRA WHAT THE F*** IS THAT?! XDXDXD)☂
*sends knife to the back of Mycroft's head*
*drains more moisture out of the air and makes the water form a chair shape* *sits on the chair without getting wet*
(( It is the best thing you will ever see))
*keeps trying to injure Adra in some way*
WHAT KIND OF PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING ARE YOU, THAT YOU CONTINUE TO TRY AND EMBARRASS ME? WHAT KIND OF LIFE TO YOU LEAD WHERE YOU HAVE TIME TO DESPISE FIGURES OF AUTHORITY SO? YOU WRETCHED--
☂(:p)☂
☂Now now, Mycroft. It's a good question! What DOES a fox say? And Adra's just winding you up :))☂
*whirls around*
MISS ALEXIS.
Miss Kerias, can you please restrain your child?
*simply dodges Mycroft again and again, laughing* This is really quaint, Mycroft. Nice effort. Not a whole lot of skill.
*weeps*
WWHY DOES NOBODY LOVVE ME
☂(jkjk)☂
Because you're a dick, Mycroft. A pretentious dick.
*nods*
((LOVE YOU))
*makes the water lift him off his feet and drifts closer to the action, still sat down*
This is fun to watch.

☂YOU GET YOUR BODY BACK. LATER. And Mycroft, if you try and stab ME, I will kill you. And no more fluffy towels.☂

*breaks into adras lab and takels metal orb*
*sees its typical Adra rp and walks off*
☂No, Alexis, don't go!☂
☂What do you mean typical Adra rp?!☂
*makes noises in his head*

Well that was tedious.
Bye!

Ahahahahahahahahahah there are these girls in my class and iltsm omg <3
#ChaseForBook9
*straightens out her jacket, pulling out her knitting and sittin on the seat of a motorcycle*
@Adra's comment from earlier before I had to disappear: I've realised that it's almost impossible to do three people when nobody's distant . . . So I think I can only count for two people at the most for roleplay purposes. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*wakes up in cell as guard looks down*
guard: remember me? well this time you are going down
Ah... Okay Star- it was still fun :D
*huggles*
*sighs and glances at Adra* Sign my cast?
You know, I have this plot in my head where all these dead people start coming back to life, but I never know why, and it never continues for very long. It just happens because I like the awkwardness. :P
So at some point I probably have to figure out who's bringing them back to life, how, and for what purpose. I mostly have the who, but maybe not. And then I have to work out what happens to all the people brought back alive, and how people get stopped bringing back to life (because obviously it gets stopped.)
Hmm.
XD
#ChaseForBookNine
I like isopods...
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: Yes. :) *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Um... I thought you hated me
guard: no trial this time *walks away*
*looks confused* i'm not my mother....who my mother hates is one thing. I am not like her.
((Curious- are you ACTUALLY angry in that way, and Zaf is a channel for it? Or is that the character because you broke the fourth wall... And now I'm confused. :0))
((Zaf is mad as am I though the character decided on her own terms))
*guard approaches with handcuffs*
[Contemplates whether to recommence discussion in my fancy-speak voice]
((September, I am honored by the compliment, though I fear I stretch "posh" to the point of absurdity with the grandiloquence of my speech. It seems to me that in order to speak properly, one must delve into the deeper dictionary to find the right word, but the right word does not necessarily have to be longer than the alternative (a point which I will endeavor to think upon as I continue to converse)))
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi you sound like Niccolo and that's just scary
*is surrounded by cleavers and begins walk to the central cell area*
((Just clarifying))
Of course then, Alexis. Um... But would you rather I drew something instead? Signing names are overrated. Drawing is where it's at.
Sure!
first?
*teleporter appears and takes me to the sahara desert*
Cool.
*takes her cast, drawing a rather pretty intricate design that flows and weaves*
I dedicate this page to good and evil. There is both good and evil in the world as it is in us. I hope we all in the end choose the light over darkness.
I also dedicate to Harry Potter because Half-Blood Prince is on and I think the Weasley twins are hilarious.
Thanks Adra!
Why thank you, Alexis. (Considering your fondness for the gentleman, I have decided to view that statement as a compliment. Apologies if I was wrong in doing so.)
((Edward, I am not aiming to ignore you, but I am unable to interact with you in any way, due to your current location.))
#ChaseForBook9
Sure thing!
*stands up, going to make her rounds*
*smiles* He is like my brother though my mother would have the fondness of, love. towards Niccolo.
(fabi, its fine)
teleporter: this is dangerous, what you are trying to accomplish
*giant scorpion rises from sand and attacks teleporter*
Damn, I keep disappearing. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks back to the lab, gathering her supplies* Would anyone like to go make my rounds with me?
I guess..
12, 48, 19, 53, 0, 57, 39, 79, 12, 0.
0, 0.
12, 48, 53, 12.
57.
19, 39, 79.
:/
#ChaseForBookNine
Sure.
#ChaseForBook9
What to doooooo?
*throws lightning at scorpion, which does nothing*
*doesn't speak numbers O.O*
*fills up the cart with lots of food and vaccines and water, touching the wall of her kitchen and it lights up blue*
*goes through first* Follow Me, Alexis!
*they emerge in a small clearing in South Africa amidst dry trees. It's nearly night time, and there are small huts nearby with a fire blazing*
*pushes the cart forward, whistling a tune, which is returned*
*looks back and grins at Alexis*
*follows Adra kind of unsure* Where are we...Africa?
Zaf, if you want to come as well... It's really fun!
*walks up to a tall African man, greeting him in a foreign language, then hugging*
Guys, this is, well... Ibrahim.
Hello Ibrahim! *puts hand up in greeting*
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* Africa... *they are under a rather large shield that protects outside insects as alchemical symbols are all over the trees*
This is one of the few villages I look after... *nods* They give me the herbs I need pertaining to this area, and I give them a stable environment to live in
Ibrahim: *laughs, holding out his hand, speaking in a deep accent* Pleasure to meet you.
*A little girl walks up to Alexis. Her English name is Marie*
Marie: Hi!
Hi! My name is Alexis...whats yours?
*follows uncertainly*
Oh, that's cool.
#ChaseForBook9
Marie: *hands her a large white flower* Mine's Marie. *feels Alexis' hair* You have really pretty hair!
Adra: *begins unloading the things from the cart- the water and the food, passing them out to people in their baskets*
*teleporter teleports both of us outside the bar just as the scorpion strikes*
You know, this morning, I wanted one of my characters to email Niccolo, but fictional characters don't have real life email accounts and it's so ANNOYING. I almost mailed Ari saying can my character email your character via us, but then I didn't . . .
It's a nice village. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*takes flower smiling* Thank you! You look pretty too.
*rolls up the sleeves of her jacket* Trip, Zaf- mind helping unload and reloading?> There's a ton of things left on the counter of the kitchen... *pulls out a basket with LOADS of vaccines*
I've got to get to work..
*teleporter falls dead as scorpion is confused* oh *scorpion climbs on top of bar*
I have emailed Niccolo before....*smiles happily thinking of him*
Marie: *takes Alexis' hand and pulls her towards all the other girls who were near the fire, playing, giggling and making things. They stop and stare at Alexis, immediately swarming her, excited* Um... We don't see a lot of new people our age that often.
@Zaf: :)
Yay. :)
*smiles at Alexis with the girls*
