Look at this... don't even have the time to do a proper blog post...
LSODM is over 133,000 words right now and I promised my editor I'd have a reasonably finished first draft to him by the end of the week. That means no Twitter and no blogging, and very little internet presence at all. Even a half hour of writing a blog is a half hour of NOT writing the book, and I can't afford to do that right now. When the book is done, when it's finally done, business as usual will be resumed. Until then, this temporary silence continues.
And here's a fantastic picture for nerds.

«Oldest ‹Older 4401 – 4600 of 4953 Newer› Newest»As could be expected. Quill tried to make me dance, I refused, I stayed at the bar, got hit on a couple of times, let them down easy, Quill got hit on a bunch, she's got a few numbers she might follow up, I finally managed to convince her to let me go and so I came back here.
So all in all, terribly, as usual.
#ChaseForBook9
((Good luck Rose :3))
*nods, putting her pencil down, rubbing her eyes* Ugh. I'm so damn tired... But I hope your night off wasn't ruined, at least.
...where's Quill?
I dunno, I left her at the club. And Adra, this was not my night off, she forced me. Well, I say forced, but she more managed to get a direct order from one of the elders to go clubbing with her until she said I could go.
Some people take far too much joy in the pain of others.
#ChaseForBook9
You have no idea...
And perhaps you ought to take an actual night off sometime, when you go do something you want to do
My work is what I want to do, I see no reason to do otherwise, except to spend time with you guys.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs, going to her computer to type up another email* There is only so much a mind can take at once, Trip
(Stuff it! I now hate Angry Birds!!))
*Massags neck and feels something foreign under the skin* *Pulls out knife and cuts open small area and picks out the small chip* What the...? *Puts chip on table and goes to find another bandaid for her neck*
What do you mean by that?
#ChaseForBook9
*Starts walking towards the Medical Bay with neck bandaged and chip in hand*
What I mean *begins typing* Is that there is only so much pressure or emotions or actions a mind can take before a mental breakdown.
*Knocks on the Medical Bay doorframe* Adra.. Sorry to interrupt but can you please take a look at something for me...?
Well I guess it's lucky I have a high tolerance level.
#ChaseForBook9
*sends her other email, yawning again and lets Rose in electronically*
*yawns, tears coming to her eyes* *wipes at them* Hmm... I'll need to work on that.
On what?
#ChaseForBook9
*Walks in and shows Adra the chip* I found this in my neck just before... I have no idea what on Earth it is and I was wondering if you could take a look...?
hey guyss
Insomnia.
*takes the chip, glancing at her bloodied flesh*
*hands her a packet from the fridge* hold this to your skin and it will graft itself over- healing it.
((You're going to have to walk me through what the thing is))
*holds the chip up to the light, flipping it over and over, examining it*
Hi Jubi
HEYA JUBI!
#ChaseForBook9
*Yawns* I'm too tired to give you all supermegatacklehugsofdoom even though you all deserve them...
So I'm just gonna go with
DEATH!!! ADRA!!! TRIP!!!
hi.
*Takes packet and holds it to her neck* Thanks...
(It's a chip from a few years back. It's got something that helps break the bonds between Judi, Silver and herself. It destroys all the walls that she puts up in her head and allows her dark sides to flow freely.))
Hai Jubab!!!
((So with it gone... The walls can be rebuilt?))
Yeah, no problem. *gets a new email, quickly typing a response, then going back to Drew, taking a second sample to examine* *trudges to the microscope*
(Yep! They can stay up and Judi can be restrained!!))
*leaves that to take the chip* thaaaaank you! *puts it into a scanning machine, passing Trip, poking him* You still alive?
Hai Deathy!
Yep
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles at Adra* Thanks! Also, how are you Jubi?
*reaches up, pecking him on the lips* Don't fall asleep on me, now....
Hmm... *goes back to the microscope* Anyone do anything interesting today, then?
I'm pretty good...
Kinda tired for some reason...
BUT GOOD! :D
How are YOU Deathy?
Well, I stopped someone summoning a faceless one, but not before triggering a series of razor bombs, and then a follow up lemon juice bomb.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises an eyebrow* Lemon juice bomb?
It's morning for me... I'm going to my sisters deb tonight and its The Great Gatsby themed! I'll put a picture of me in my outfit as my profile picture for you!!
Oh awesome!!!! :D
It got into all the cuts made by the razor bombs. Very clever, hurt like hell.
#ChaseForBook9
--------->
I'm grand and sleepy!!!
Absolutely terrible picture, taken by my mum...
*laughs* Very 20s death :P (I think that's when the Great Gatsby took place..)
But seriously, you look awesome :)
Oh... Ouch. Yeah, same here. Without the same details.
Rose- I dig it! *pinches her cheek*
*Screws up face* I'm going to be in that at a table with my enemy for the night.... *Pinches Adra back*
Thanks guys!
And this is just so damn cute!! ------->
OMG PUFFY DOGGY!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!
IT'S ADOWABWE!
#ChaseForBook9
CAN I SQUEEZE IT!?!!?!?
I imagine that is what Beyonce would look like if you stuck her through a washing machine and dryer
I KNOW!!! IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG I WANNA POKE IT AND CUDDLE IT AND POKE IT AGAIN AND...YEAH!
@Adra: Wait... The dog or me...?
IT'S MINE JUBI!! *Throws little Poofy at Trip*
Oh no! I'm allergic to adorableness!
Dum dum dumdum. R.I.P
#ChaseForBook9
The dog.
*hears a knock on her door* ARGH PEOPLE
NO DON'T HURT IT!!!!!! *catches the poofy dog*
IT'S OK MY LITTLE POOFY FRIEND!
OMG TRIP!! XDD
*knocks again, waiting*
*Giggles and catches Poofy* Poor Trip... Died from this little puff ball... I shall name him Killer!!
@Adra: Phew... *Tosses Killer at Adra*
CAIN!!!
hai.
Oh, too bad he's dead.
*glances at the monitor that has a live feed of her door* Lol nope. *locks the door, pressing the intercom* You shall not pass!
Naaaaaaah shoot.
lol jk
Who's that at the door?
#ChaseForBook9
*puts the dog on the floor*
*Picks up Killer* How could you put something as cute as this on the floor?! He'll get dirty!!!
*clears his throat* Adra dear, you can't hide in there for long...
Hello Jubilance.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOM-
(Not here but-)
GOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOM-
*falls apart into little screaming pieces of happiness and excitement and squeeing*
It may mean little to you guys, but I jut went to Check Twitter quickly and this appeared, http://Instagram.com/p/dFhGyUy2XY/ (If that works, idk because iPod), and I'm grinning so much and I don't want to wait. xD
I'm probably not going to get to sleep, now, but I feel filled with happies, so that's okay. :P
Sorry for the random appearance and outburst but I had to just- That. :P
*tacklehugs all round* :3
#ChaseForBook9
*gives Rose a strange look*
*into the intercom* HOWABOUT no, and you just go away. I already talked to you earlier. You got your info. Piss off.
Hi Cain! In pretty sure you don't know that of you come in, I'll hurt you and I can kill people with a glare!
Hey there Taia!
Who's that Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*Hugs Killer tightly* Hi Taia!
Hello, Taia.
*shouts* I'LL BREAK IN THE FUCKING DOOR, ADRA. I'M NOT FINISHED TALKING
((Taia...? *hugs*))
*breathes out* I don't have time for this.
*takes out her gun, loading the bullets*
That's Cain Murdaugh, Trip.
*Gives Kilker to Trip again and stands beside Adra*
He sounds like a villain if ever I heard one.
#ChaseForBook9
CAN HIS MIDDLE NAME BE FLOOFY POOF?!?!
*sighs* What a mess...
*gathers shadows in his hand, breaking the rocks, shattering them to a million pieces, stepping over them*
Oh Aaadraaaaa
Killer Floofy Poof... Okay, I know doub thee, Killer Floofy Poof, King of Cuteness.
YES!!
*Whirls and holds up hands, pinning Cain against the wall with gravity* Don't you bloody dare!
*readies the trigger, scared but angry and determined in one big ball of emotions*
He's no walk in the park..
Well, only villains break n using necromancy and then call one of the protagonists names in a long drawn out fashion. LET'S GET IM!
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs*
Not overreacting.
At all.
(Really - perfectly reasonable response, all things considered. (IMO:p). C: )
Um.
Hey Trip!
Hi Death!
Hello, Cain!
*hugs Adra back* :)
Chances are, I'm not actually here, though.
*tries not to start freaking out again :P *
#ChaseForBook9
*energy gathers around fists*
#ChaseForBook9
TAIA!!!!!
hai.
*Prepares to glare*
*Killer growls and barks in a very high pitch*
HEMINGWAY, JUBI!! :)
*may start watching the Roleplay from a distance, if I do continue to be here*
#ChaseForBook9
*casually waves his hand,increasing the amount of carbon in Rose's cranium until it is too heavy for her shoulders*
*pushes her magic away, brushing off his jacket*'
Adra, I daresay it was rather rude of you to walk away in the middle of our conversation earlier. I only want to know one more thing
HEMINGWAY!!!!!!! xD
That you're under arrest for breaking and entering and assault? Good.
#ChaseForBook9
New tricks?
Hmm. Well you did try to strangle me to death, so what can I say? *shrugs* Curious to know what is so important that you break into my lab
*Falls to the floor* Nice trick! Let me show you one of mine! *Rolls over and glares at Cain*
*energy coats Trip and suddenly he's by cain's side, he cuffs him, all in the space of a second*
Welcome to Bindtown, population; you.
#ChaseForBook9
*gazes at Death steadily* Was that supposed to hurt me? Actually- continue. Your magic fuels me.
Ahem.
I just want to know how he died.
*chuckles, nodding his head at Trip* He your boyfriend? Cute, Adra. Real cute.
Oh like you would know the first thing about a relationship, Cain.
And I am not answering that, thanks. I rather like being alive
*kicks Cain in the back, knocking him o the floor* Cain Murdaugh, you are under arrest for breaking and entering, assault and harassment. You have the right to remain silent, and anything you do say may be used against you in court.
#ChaseForBook9
*Stops glaring*
*lifts cain up with energy*
#ChaseForBook9
*Goes into distance and watches Roleplay with Taia*
Oh dear. An agent as well.
This is enjoyable- but you're getting in my way. Thank you for the push, though.
*a dark circle appears underneath him*
*glances at Adra* i'll find out how he died- even if I have to dig him up. I will not stop.
*falls through the portal, it closing up immediately after him*
((*hugs Jubi and Taia*))
Hm, I may need some better handcuffs.
#ChaseForBook9
*steps through her portal from earlier, appearing back in Abney Park* *dashes for the grave*
*steps after Adra through the portal, follows adra at a distance, hands in pockets*
#ChaseForBook9
Damnit, MCS keep joking about new songs/album. Every time, I go into frenzy and scream internally, and then I actually read the full thing, or listen to the clip, or whatnot, and the conflict of disappointment and the laughs. But disappointment. But laughs. :P
(Sorry, I'll shut up in a sec' but I'm just crazied up atm. :P )
Um.
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
The above was the real thing, though. C: ^^
*sits quietly*
#ChaseForBook9
*sees a man near the grave and jump- tackles him, taking his hair and slamming it into a stone several times before snarling at him as he backs away, turning and running through the trees*
*growls, going back to the grave, touching the ground, feeling the energy still there*
*sighs in relief*
*Laughs*
HEY TAIA!!! WANNA BECOME DINOSAURS?? :D
*hugs Taia* I have no idea what you are talking about lol... But, um. Good?
Ummm, you all right?
I don't think that guy was Cain.
#ChaseForBook9
*Grabs head and rests it against a wall* Damn... That was a pretty neat trick...
The nerve! No, Cain sent him... *pinches the bridge of her nose* They were going to dig up my baby's grave...
*pauses, looking at it* Dear Lord...
That's just wrong.
So why won't you tell him?
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Adra back* :)
HEY JUBI - SURE! *grins*
*laughs* *nods* Good, Adra, yes. :P *hugs back*
#ChaseForBook9
Because I told him that Adrian is dead, and he nearly killed me. If I tell him it's his fault.. *shudders*
Oh God... Oh God no... Cain got her mad... Oh God... Oh no... Please don- *shrieks*
YAAAY!!
*begins pacing* great. One more thing for my plate... *does her best to block out Rose's screams*
I think we can handle him. I mean, I freakin' owned him back there.
Anyway, they beauty of having influence all across the planet in every facet of society is I can put out a warrant for his arrest, or at least information, and it /will/ hapen.
#ChaseForBook9
*Leaps up and balls fists* Where the Hell did he go?! Where?! *Leaps through doorway and starts running towards the lake* Where did that bastard go?!
RRRRRRRRAAWWWWWWRRRRRRRRR. :D
*can't change to Taiaceratops picture because no computer. :P *
#ChaseForBook9
(ok)
RAAAAAWWWWWRR!!!!!!!!
I EAT YOUR SOULSSS
*Spins and glares at the dinosaurs* Where. Did. He. Go?
*glances wearily at Trip, before resuming her pacing back and forth*
*stops in front of Adrian's grave, sitting down, looking at it*
*eyes widen*
I- I don't know!!!
*Turns her attention to Taia* Where?!
*watches in silence*
#ChaseForBook9
*Growls* Nevermind! I'll find him! *Races into the forest*
You don't have to stay, Trip.
He... I think he went through some type of portal...
(I gtg eat dinner.... bye!!!)
((Bye Jubi))
Bye Jubi!
But I don't have to go. Do I?
#ChaseForBook9
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY SOUL.
*noms a pomegranate*
*shrinks back*
I don't- I don't know.
Where did who go?
I'M JUST A SIMPLE DINOSAUR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR PEOPLE-AFFAIRS.
#ChaseForBook9
I- *shakes her head* Nevermind. I have to get back to work.
*takes his hand, walking along back to the portal* come on...
*Taiaceratopstacklehugs Jubi* Awh. I'll see you soon, hopefully. Enjoy your dinner. :3
*sits again, still a dinosaur*
#ChaseForBook9
Okay. *goes through the portal with Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks around* So... Everyone cleared out?
(My sister's sad... *Cries*))
*Whirls around* Who was that?!
Um.
'Kay.
I'll just guard this here swirling-portal-thing, then. That's cool.
*stands guard*
*steps on a pomegranate*
#ChaseForBook9
...I don't even know where you get those, Taia
(Still here, nothing to say)
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, what, the pomegranates?
I, er, sneeze them.
*nods uncertainly*
#ChaseForBook9
Sneeze... Pomegranates?
*looks at her work*
*gazes at all the words*
*gently closes the book* Hmm... What to do?
(I don't want to go to the deb anymore... Keet's sad, her boyfriend has ruined her big day, my uncle's last birthday party, no one else is dressing up for the deb so I'm going to look stupid... I don't freaking care anymore!!! *Throws iPod away and runs away from Blogland*))
*nods again*
It makes sense, if you think about it.
#ChaseForBook9
(I'm sorry Death, I really am. I just don't know how to-
NO. I will not settle for I don't know!)
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Rose tightly*
*wanders into a medicine cabinet room filled with tons of serums and cures*
*huggles Death*
*sneezes a grapefruit, especially for her*
(Sorry. But, seriously, Death. *hugshugshugs*)
#ChaseForBook9
Death, these years, our teenage years, can be the best times of our lives. Yet, that is only for the lucky few. Most of us, meet a tonne of shit people, who are all fucking assholes that live to belittle us to try and compensate for their own insecurities. The few nice people who we do meet will fail also, and overall, life is shit.
But, there is a point when the crapstorm stops, and things get better. It isn't soon, it isn't for years. Even in our 20s, there will still be lots of people like that. Less people, sure, but with the same potency.
Socially, being a child is much harder than being an adult, no matter what they say. The here and the now are to be lived for, sure. But as children, we must also live for the future. The brighter, better future.
#ChaseForBook9
*blinks*
*goes back to digging*
And to make matters better, I have to write up a whole new fucking oral!! I ask why and Kitty says because it's easier! THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY THAT I CAN WRITE AN ORAL IN HALF A DAY AND EXPECT LUNA TO KNOW IT!!!!
*finds the correct medicine, filling it up*
*almost injects it*
*double takes**laughs* That's cyanide...
((How long does it have to be?))
About ten minutes but Luna can't memorise anything and I have the God damn deb on tonight and I've already started prepping and- UGH!!! I DON'T HAVE THE FREAKING TIME!! LUNA WON'T EVEN TRY!! SHE WILL BE ON CHICKEN BLOODY SMOOTHIE!!!
I think I should put out a warrant for his arrest. We could have him in a day, three, tops.
#ChaseForBook9
*fills up a different syringe, checking the label this time*
*walks back out, injecting it into her arm* You know, perhaps there is an easier way for her...?
Wow... I'm sorry, you really seem to be in a pickle
@Trip: ... Wow, *nods, needless to add*
*hugs Death*
What's wrong with the one you had (assuming you had one before)? :/
If you don't have time,it's not your fault. You can't be blamed for it.
#ChaseForBook9
I just, forgot to be awesome so much recently. I'm making up for lost time.
#ChaseForBook9
Hang on- I don't know about you, but I can't quite take myself seriously with my name as it is... :p
#ChaseForBook9
So, whaddya say? About the arrest warrant?
#ChaseForBook9
The others said it was too "hard" and they couldn't remember 12 minutes worth of speech and cues! YET THEY WERE ALL IN THE FREAKING PRODUCTION! I LITERALLY THREW MY PHONE OUT THE DOOR AND I HAVE A PROJECT DUE MONDAY TOO!!!!!!!!!!
How do you mean, Trip? *sits at her stool*
Yeah, go ahead. I'll take all the help I can get
Oh, never mind.
Changing it involves opening another tab. And iPod will only handle so much internets-stuffs at once, so other things'll stop working and it'll drop out and all sorts. So I remain a dinosaur.
#ChaseForBook9
Jesus Chris-
No.
I don't want first.
No.'
*sighs*
Rose, calm down. A hurried mind clouds your thoughs
Okay. I might go. Yeah, I'll go. I need to issue the warrant then SLEEP.
So you tomorrow. *kisses Adra*
Night everyone! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Death,
*nods at what Adra's said*
Panicking now won't get you very far, right?
If you can't do it, you can't do it. They'll just have to accept that, and if they want another presentation as much as it seems, they could probably manage to work out something between them, anyway.
How long do you have until the presentation is needed?
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles* well... *Leans over her desk, the vaccine taking its toll on her*
*is leaving as well*
*night!*
Night Trip! *hugs back* Sleep well!
Bye Adra! *hugs* You sleep well, too!
I should be going - in fact, I shouldn't have even appeared, really - but I'm gonna stick around a bit, I think.
Msd, though.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not panicking, I'm pissed.
Bye Trip.
Night Adra.
*Stares* Is EVERYONE now a dinosaur? :P
#ChaseForBook9
DINOSAURS RULE THE WORLD!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello?
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Fabi!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Saph! [hugs]
[Considers] I don't think my dinosaur side will be coming out today. Mayyyybe
#ChaseForBook9
Okay :)
*Decides to be a herbivore dinosaur and starts trying to eat hair*
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry. Maybe 'panic' wasn't right, but they often share very similar results, so I still stand by the above. ^^
Do what you think is most right. That's all I can say.
You have a choice. If you can do it without large expense of yourself or others, I'd say consider it, but otherwise, let it be. Nobody gets it both ways - if you can't get it done, you can't get it done, and that's not your fault.
You can let them know, and see if they can sort it out themselves, but that's up to you. It all is, actually.
Whichever you choose, it'll be as fine as it was ever going to be.
*hands Death a cookie*
#ChaseForBook9
HI SAPH!
HI FABI!
*Taiaceratopstacklehugs both*
How're you doing? :)
THE TAIACERATOPS IS A PART OF ME. *roars*
*noms a pomegranate*
#ChaseForBook9
Taiaceratops! *Would hug, but dinosaurs aren't easy to hug* :D
*hugs Death if she's still here*
#ChaseForBook9
Or the human is a part of the Taiaceratops.
*frowns*
But the human is a dinosaur enthusiast, so I suppose there's that. :P
#ChaseForBook9
RAWWWR! (Okay, who snuck three extra packets of sugar in my coffee?)
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Taia! [hugs]
I'm good, I have an insanely awesome idea for Shunting Experiment, so I'm writing so I can get to that point!
[Laughs evilly] Readers Gonna Cry, seriously, if I do it right...
#ChaseForBook9
I'M INNOCENT.
I KNOW NOTHINF.
REALLY.
#ChaseForBook9
[Sig
I never finish anyth
#ChaseForBook
*Stares at shaking hands* What have I done...?
I don't know... [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Awesome, Fabi! :)
And, oh, Golden God.
I still haven't even gotten an OC/bio in for you, have I? Sorry!
I haven't been able to check the blog in a bit, and I can't now, either, because iPod keeps dropping out of internets, and I don't think it'll take another tab opening atm.
I'll... I don't know. I'll do something.
#ChaseForBook9
I just punched my sister's boyfriend in the face for ruining her big day. He knew he was doing it... He deserved it... *Keeps staring at hands*
Death...?
#ChaseForBook9
I know... *Nods slowly and sadly*
Heh, I've just avoided including your character as of yet. It's crowded in the theater, so...
He probably did deserve it. [hugs Death again]
#ChaseForBook9
*curls up in ball* feet hurt
I know. I'm an idiot and I shouldn't have done it. But if you saw what he was doing to her... You all would have done the same. Believe me. I don't even want to say what it was... *Shudders*
Hi Zaf.
[Nods] Feet do that sometimes.
[Shrugs] I would be just as likely to punch anyone who hurt my sister, so I can't really judge you on that.
I hope everything ends up okay.
#ChaseForBook9
If anyone wants to know I was at Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom (2 parks in one) and i walked nonstop from 12:30-9:15pm so I am bloody in pain! Though I did manage to go on evrry roller coaster and every water slide ilike AND i got to go to White Castles
(Sorry, that was meant before you explained. ^^)
*hugs*
There's a lot of things I'd like to say, Death, but I don't know how to say them. Or even what they are, exactly.
I think you probably know anyway.
I'm not sure.
I think I need sleep.
Um. Sorry. I think... I think we're only human. There's only so much we can take, and there's responses that we take and employ, and they can't always be helped. That's... I'm not really sure what that is. But it's what my brain found words to articulate.
*hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Alright, Fabi. Thanks for that. :) ^^
Cool going, Zaf. Feet can suck like that, though.
*offers a hugs* Hi, by the way. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey guys
Sounds fun, Zaf!
Aside from the feet hurting bit.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey again, Jubi! :)
