A few days left of this rewrite, and the book will be done. DONE!
In the meantime, I shall be collecting all the names of those who entered the Spirit Lake competition, and should have a winner in a day or two. In other news?
In other news, this Friday, right here on this Blog, I shall be unveiling the COVER of Last Stand of Dead Men...
Prepare yourselves.

Unhinged minds are easier to take control of. *points to himself* We are in human bodies. They decay. But with Mage bodies... We could live in them forever. *laughs* we could harness the true names and use the magic with ours and-and then we would be unstoppable.

Oh.
I don't know if I mentioned - I put up a bit of writing yesterday, on my blog of wordsmithery:
Spfffromtaia.blogspot.com
If anybody would like to look. Because I'd like people to look, and there would be gratitude.
You may not know what it's related to, because that happened a while ago, but I'm hoping it makes sense, anyway. :)
Danke. ^^

*frowns* I'm afraid that The Adra must go now and she shal not return until later-unless she gets a break.
Goodbye
Bye Eld! *hugs*
*will stop advertising, now* :P
#ChaseForBook9
Hi people!!! *sneakyassassintacklehugs everyone*
#ChaseForBook9
*is here*
And I have reorganised my bookcase! :)
(There are now all these books piled at the sides of it because no space, but only the ones I don't read and are only there because no other book space anywhere in the house are allowed off the bookcase. And now, my bookcase is BEAUTIFUL. :))
#ChaseForBookNine
Awesome, Star! (Where did everybody randomly run off to? 0.0)
#ChaseForBook9
(@Ari: I have no idea. O_O)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Hi Aretha!
*hugs*
Thank you. :)
I'll go reply to your comment as soon as I've finished writing this one. :)
Hiya Star!
Awesome! :3
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, watching UAN Tour!~
#ChaseForBook9
I feel like Blogland was packed about 10-15 minutes ago, and now it's just randomly empty... Except for you and me, of course.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, look, the people are back! Hi people!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Maraness and Taia! :)
Wbd, sorry. Playlisting.
#ChaseForBookNine
HOW IS EVERYONE?
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm well, thanks. How about you?
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry for poofing. Laptop went all messy. :P
@Aretha: I don't know if that actually posted as a /reply/, but it's there, if you can put up with my not-very-good-at-explaining-things-ness. :P
I'm grand, thanks, Star. :)
Trying to think of something I can write... :P
And yourself?
#ChaseForbook9
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

STUPID FANFIC. STUPID STUPID STUPID. *cries*
IF JOHN GETS SYDNEY I SWEAR TO GOD

#ChaseForBook9
It's good nobody's bad. :) *is good also*
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Maraness* You okay? :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hellooooo! :)
No. *miserably*
And now 1D came second in the charts.
JUST REMEMBER WHO BROKE THE VEVO RECORD.
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs* Well, that was interesting
Oh, I'm sorry, Mara...
Hi Dragona!
Hey, Malphas! Feel like answering the question now? It's only, what, the third time we asked you?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Dragona! :)
Hi Malphas! :)
*hands Mara a cookie*
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls eyes* what more do you want from me? I told you what the demons have planned for you all specifically
You just said that they want to get under our skin and break us so they can take our minds over later. That's not exactly specific... Well, maybe you don't know any more details than that. But I have another question- when your messenger was here, talking to Niccolò, she said "too bad you die soon". If he's dead you can't take control of him, so that can't be part of the plan. How is he supposed to die?
#ChaseForBook9
And I'm gone... bye! :)
*frowns* He isn't supposed to die. None of you are. Well, unless she meant his consciousness, when he is taken over and becomes a vassal, but... *runs a hand through his frazzled hair* That's perplexing.
I think it took me around three and a half hours to get a video for that song . . . *collapses*
*is throughly sick and tired of said song, even if I did do most of the playlistsing this morning and just the final justoveranhour now*
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Dragona!
*hugs Star, and hands her a cookie*
Well, at least it's done, now. You don't have to listen to it again. :P
#ChaseForBook9
*stares at Malphas for a while, thinking* *sighs* Ok. How can we stop ourselves from being taken over?
#ChaseForBook9
Bye, Dragona!
Sorry about that, Star...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Taia* :) *noms cookie* OH MY GOSH, THIS TASTES LIKE A COOKIE!*screams*
Question, Malphas. Can you take over Hunter, seeing as how he isn't human, or are your mind-taking-over skills limited to this speices?
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
As far as I know, there isn't a lot- besides killing your vassal before they get to you. Perhaps taking a few things to help expel them and repel them.
Well, the Star. I wasn't aware that your Hunter was on the list. Granted he may be, but if not he will be one if the ones killed
What kinds of things can do that? Expel and repel them, I mean.
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: *laughs* :)
Sorry for distance. Writing-y things. :) And, I'm not really following the RP very well, either.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm sorry, Taia. But not really.
Well, one can be avoiding demons. Salty foods, drinking holy water- but from what I've heard it's disgusting... Staying in the light... Being Around fires... Also, probably lighter fluid, but I don't think you all want to drink that
Good luck with killing him.
He's very hard to kill when he wants to be, seeing as how he can just teleport off.
(Obviously it doesn't work when he's trying to kill the person who's trying to kill him).
#ChaseForBookNine
@Malphas: Hm?
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* Ok then. One more question from me- what are all the sacrifices for?
#ChaseForBook9
The human sacrifices? Everyone needs energy and fuel- we have been collecting the souls for Chaos- so he can rule is all.
Hi Dragona! :)
#ChaseForBook9
Lt. Mark Thomson was on Earth when they struck. He was looking out across the pretty London skyline from his balcony, an endless horizon of white buildings and bright hologram lights, then all of a sudden a grey mass crashed into the ground, throwing up dust and debris.
There was not a word to describe how huge it was. He was a few miles away from it and he still couldn't see the top. It was roughly shaped like a squid, but clearly made out of metal and extremely large. The casing of it opened, revealing a glowing red circle which contained rotating disks inside.
A metallic groan was audible from the massive machine, then a blast as a thick red line of energy tore up buildings and everything in its path. He staggered away from the bright light, feeling the heat even from such a distance.
The red energy carved a ridge in the ground and several buildings started collapsing, if they had not been instantly annihilated.
"Shit. Reaper!" Thomson yelled at his friend in the room behind him, "Get down!"
Just a small part of my Mass Effect fanfic that I'm starting. :)
Would sacraficing puppies not work?
#ChaseForBookNine
HI DRAGONA!
Sounds cool! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Wbd now, I want to do string art . . .
My string art is rather infurating. You count up the relatively large amount of hours you have spent on it, and then look at the page and see barely anything done. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*infuriating
#ChaseForBookNine
I wish my mum would let me play Mass Effect on a weekend... IT'S RESEARCH PURPOSES. AND TO ANNOY CERBERUS BUT THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER ENTIRELY.
So I had to play Call of Duty with my sister (who actually wanted to play it)... so I kept killing her with a flamethrower on my gun.
Which was highly amusing, but it didn't fill the space of Mass Effect.
*us
Sorry.
And everything goes, the Star
Awesome, Dragona. :) ^^
@Star: What /is/ string art? :)
@Sacrificing puppies: PUPPIES HAVE RIGHTS TOO. :P
#ChaseForBook9
I'll just play it all day tomorrow. I might limit myself to five hours. :)
*laughs hysterically*
One of his middle names. . .
I can't believe the VDs are coming back... *sniffles*
SO MANY TEARS
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Yes, but puppies are evil. :)
@Taia: Art using string? :)
Once my sister's friend asked, how did you learn how to do it? And I was like, I didn't really leanr it. I wanted to do it, so I did it.
See, I had this ball of string, that you tie up stuff with. And I wanted to make art with it. So I drew the outlines of this thing and started filling up each section with string patterns. I measure out how much string I need, colour it in with one of my felt tips (the ones I've used for it are all running out now and I BLAME THE STRING ART), and glue it down with my Pritt stick. As a consequence, the top of my Pritt stick is all rounded (it's so annoying, it doesn't get into any corners) and gets dyed the colour of the pen. Right now, it's blue. It's been pink and green. Soon it'll be all orangey. :P
It's 99.99999999999% certainly been done before by people, but I've never seen string art before (that I can remember), sooooooo.
I REFUSE TO POST PICTURES TILL I AM DONE. MAY TAKE ME MANY MONTHS. D:

*glances around* Are we done? Are we good? Can I go now?
Wow, I swear my laptop is broken. It's full of... nothing. I can't delete anything and I use programs to remove all unnecessary data... still can't remove anything. But it's full.
So I'm moving some pictures into a different drive and then it said "50 minutes remaining"
Two seconds later "30 seconds remaining"
Another two seconds "5 minutes and forty five seconds"
Wtf.
*sighs irritably, beginning to write a list*
Hi Malphas. I don't believe we've met, I'm Dragona.
*gives cookie*
*stares at the cookie* Demons don't need human food.
Ahh... so you're a demon?
@Star: Oh, right. I know what you mean, I think. I've heard of similar things, I guess. :) Sounds jepic, though. :3
Hm. Maybe. I've never met a puppy, so I wouldn't know. :P
@Dragona: I'm not sure about the rest of the problem, but the 50 minutes -> 30 seconds -> five minutes case happens a lot for me, too.
I think it's probably to do with the instantaneous speed of download/upload/whatever changing. And how kind of difficult certain things are to copy/move/delete/whatever, and it assumes that they're all the same 'difficulty' but then passes that one, and it's like, oh, wait, maybe not. But IDK. I've always figured it's something like that, anyway. ^^
#ChaseForBook9
*raises hand*
Taia needs human food.
And she's going to find some.
Brb. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Yes. I believe I just said... *finishes writing the list, sealing it up and tossing it from the circle* now may I go now?
I'm having Yorkshire puddings. YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS.
*doesnt know what Yorkshire puddings are*
*sits, bored* THIS IS ANIMAL ABUSE
*dashes back in*
YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS?
Where?
#ChaseForBook9
*has absolutely no clue what Yorkshire puddings are*
*decides they may be nice because Star, Luci, Louis and Zayn are from Yorkshire*
*I didn't screw up there, right?*
*is hungry*
#ChaseForBook9
I have Yorkshire puddings every Sunday. XD
They're jepic.
And, @Taia: THANK YOU.
AND THANK YOU FOR USING MY WORD. :)
@Malphas: Well, you're about to commit human abuse, so I really couldn't care. :P
@Dragona: Devices are stupid. Device isn't. (Sorry). Ummmm . . . *does have any suggestions on how to find out the real time remaining*
@Taia: Good theory. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
But what is the difference of one?
@Star: YOU'RE WELCOME. (But it be truthly.) :)
AND, THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR WORD.
*nods* :P
*laughs* Good? Thanks! :P
*mumbles something about people not knowing what Yorkshire puddings are*
@Mara: I'm pretty sure Dragona's from Yorkshire, too. :)
Oh, and you got 'nice' right, too. :3
#ChaseForBook9
[Kills the spoiler]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh for od's sake Malphas...*laughs* sorry i needed to comment
Yorkshire puddings are officially the best food in the world. End of story.
Well it isn't a story, it's a statement. So end of statement.
But it's a fact too. So end of fact.
Hiya Fabi! *hugs*
*grumbles* I know. It maddened me, too. Thankfully (kind of), I already knew that one... So at least nothing /else/ was spoiled, for me. :/
#ChaseForBook9
Im kinda here kinda not...I am merely ghosting off wifi
And now i must go...be back later when i steal wifi
Hello Dragona, Star, Mara (HOW COULD YOU DO THAT???), Taia and kinda Zaf.
[hugs back] I'd sort of heard something like that, but nothing really definite, y'know? And first on the page, too.... [kills the spoiler again]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Zaf! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Well the longer you keep me in here the more suspicious the others will get
And the longer you don't figure your who your vassals are
I'm leaving the roleplay for a while, sorry. I don't have time to keep up with the plot, and I have too much going on. I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: *nods*
I knew that part, but there was one bit of it that I wasn't sure that I knew, that I now know. I just try to not think about it. :/
It'd have been nice if he'd have at least deleted the comment, though. ^^
Hi/Bye, Zaf!
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
PEOPLE=SHIT SOMETIMES.
*hugs everyone*
Yorkshire puddings are these things you have with roast dinners . . . They're sort of like a cup thing made out of food, and they're . . . *pauses* Idk how to describe them.
. . . I suppose they're a bit like batter, except a lot less salty, and they're a bit like potato, except harder and crunchy and bread-stuff, and they're not like bread, and idk.
They're a traditional English thing.
I'm so sad it's been spoiled for you, Taia and Fabi . . . It was the second-best killing-off ever in the whole universe ever (the first was when Mr Crepsly died in THe Saga of Darren Shan. Oh my gsh, taht was fabulous), and I wish you could have untaintedly appreciated the awesome. :/
EVIL PEOPLE.
#ChaseForBookNine
I suppose they could be like waffles, except obviously not as sweet, and also not waffle-shaped. Except they're not exactly like waffles. They're not exactly like anything.
#ChaseForBookNine
NEW POST
#ChaseForBook9
Heh heh. *grins sweetly at Fabi*
You will not believe what the ending is, so... >:)
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Star back* :)
Yorkshire puddings ARE made from batter, aren't they? ^^
Oh, don't be sad for me, Star. I figure stuff happens, and since I new that spoiler save for one name anyway, so IDK.
In a way, I guess it's a little bit maybe good that I know it, because it means I might not have a heart attack/brain explosion/drown in my own tears when in happens in the book. The spoilers could be saving my life. :P
@Mara: *laughs* I came across the ending spoiler, too, so I know that one. :P
But, two spoilers is the most I've ever had for a book, so that's good, maybe.
Followed by Death Bringer, for which I had one thing spoiled - something to do with a certain vampire... :P
#ChaseForBook9

*hums*
I'm still lurking :)
I SEE YOU OCTA
You are an amazing writer and these series of skulduggery pleasent are the only books that I want to spend a whole week on reading one after the other obviously with sleep but I'm re reading them before the 8th book last stand
You are an amazing writer and these series of skulduggery pleasent are the only books that I want to spend a whole week on reading one after the other obviously with sleep but I'm re reading them before the 8th book last stand
Over here you all
i... i got last post... *blinks*
The displays aren't annoying.
*sighs* Mara, I didn't mean to exclude you. I wasn't there at the time of when this happened. I was being realistic, and I did see you- but there wouldn't be anything to do because in the RP, I wasn't there to help you
Hiya
I just don't understand if you wanna add a subplot then add it but you cant expect everyone to jump in. If another thing people are involved in is happening it isn't easy to just randomly jump into multiple plots. Especially if you roleplay more then one character. So its not like people mean it but it is rather hard, if nothing was happening that intense then more people would join in. its about timing, Alex came in at a good time to start the plot. Nothing was happening.
*shrugs*
OKAY!!! so, what can i do, i need some action
And I do not know why that didn't post under Zafira....technology these days,
Crap... I was gonna post something but then we ran out of comments...
poopy
Ok so basically it was me apologizing that I didn't continue with Mara's subplot and I didn't really have a very good excuse for it. It just drifted from my mind when no one did anything about it... :( *Hugs Mara* I'm really sorry about that. I'm a klutz that way :(
Not sure if klutz is the right word but... You know that I mean xP
*shadow boxes*
*teleports away, reappearing with a boxing bag*
What r you guys talking about? :-D
I knew me talking about One Direction was annoying.
I knew it.
#ChaseForBook9
Besides Mara, I will go on for hours sometimes talking to myself or doing my own thing. Me, like, jumping off cliffs. The other day I talked to a fox. A fox by myself. The topic would have arisen, but you made but a few comments into the subplot, and sometimes it takes more than that. Don't give up on it- I do care.
I ded this page to chaos, and murder. And to the fact that I will escape this petty prison.
*frowns* Mara this has nothing to do with you an 1D
MARA!! you stayed!! *huggles*
I'm sorry, Zaf, I really am. I'm sorry for being me. I'm sorry for trying to fit in. I'm sorry for trying to be a normal human being!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, Snow, I'm not staying.
#ChaseForBook9
And there isn't anything realistic any of Zafira's characters could do. Zaf was cradling me who is half dead and I am half dead and Javier is in shock. So if any of her characters were realistically able to notice you Mara they would but they cant.
*frowns* I'm confused!!
Mara, stop blaming yourself. Doing this won't help you- believe me.
(okay, so i admit, even if i am not a fan of 1D, your comments about them are so normal, i'm used to it *huggles again*)
Alex, don't you bloody even dare to think that One Direction are annoying or her displays. Think of something you love, something that makes you smile every time you hear it. Got it in your mind?
What happens if I say that they're annoying, that your public displays of affection for that is annoying? How would you feel? Imagine if you were years younger, imagine you're my little sister there.
Just, keep opinions to yourself when it comes to Ine Direction. Alex, please. Just... *Takes deep breath and tries to compose herself* She's almost 1 Blog Year old... She's a few days older than me on here...
I've got to go fix the roof again. Don't you dare say anything like that.
Mara you are not leaving. Calm down. You belong.
*frowns*
*shrugs*
*hits boxingbag*
Oh yeah. -gets Adra to unlock my cell, and walks out of it-
-looks at Adra, and kicks her in the shin, and then her face-
-walks up to the desk, and collects all my gear-
-runs out into the sanctuary, flipping out my blade and killing all those who run at me-
(Is Ari still on?)
Mara stop it.
It's partially my fault for not adding on to it because I knew that it was going on but for some stupid reason I decided not to go along with it. *Hugs* Really, Mara. I'm sorry :(
(No she isn't. So you gotta wait she may be on in an hour she said 2hrs)
Mara- I toldyou earlier what you taught me. Now, you might have ignored it- but I know you saw it.
Don't leave because no one acknowledged you- we are trying to be as realistic with this as possible. Don't give up on it yet- I did see you. I did.
Mara, I swear to God that if you don't stay, I'll swim to Ireland and hug you to death. You have to stay... I can't lose my sister...
Well, I've been blaming myself for as long as I can remember, so it really doesn't make a difference, does it?
This is why people leave.
This is why I want to leave so badly. I am literally getting ready to be the first Bloglandian to leave the day before her Blogversary. May my name go down in history. 😒
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Mara tightly]
[Fumbles for words]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh Gods, Star's going to kill us.
*falls over, grunting before running after him*
*stares at mara* no... just no.
-teleports back into Blogland, strolling in-
Hello, all! I'm baaack!
(Is it okay that I escaped? I know it seems like I did it too easily, but the shackles don't contain my powers, because I'm not from the SP universe)
Mara, leaving won't allow things to get better- it'll only make more hope lost. Do not make me add your name to the list of everyone who has left.
I will freakin swim over to Ireland too you know. As soon as we can we will continue your subplot but you also have to think about where everyone is. It is a brilliant idea but you timed it not the best. Wait it out and see what happens. Things can expand if you continue and not give up, do you think Aretha would have had Niccolo grow if she had given up because nobody noticed his character? No.
(*shrugs* i'm fine with it alex, so long as i can hit you.
im in a violent mood)
You leave, I leave.
I honestly don't know why I stay anymore. It hurts practically every time I come on.
I love you all, you're amazing people, but... I...
I'm sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
No no no NO This is NOT HAPPENING.
Forget about me. I'm easy to forget. :)
F. O. R. G. E. T.
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi you realize whenever you want someone can revive you. JUst ask.
now look what youve dpne!!
NO NO NO NO NO!!!
MARA< YOU ARE NOT LEAVING, AND FABI, YOUR NOT EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mara I know that you have some twisted notion that everything's your fault but it's NOT. I swear.
People tend to blame a bunch of things on themselves but it's not true. Just try and convince yourself that you are amazing and we love you being on here.
I used to be happy when I came here.
Now all I want to do is cry.
#ChaseForBook9
Stop saying that, Mara because you know that we can't do that! You know it! How can we forget someone who is so near to us!?
HI I'M NEW AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU R TALKING ABOUT... HELLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, Snow, I know. I've ruined everything, haven't I? Because that's all I seem to do.
#ChaseForBook9
(Cake, go... you dont understand... *shrugs*)
-hundreds of people dressed similarly to me appear, all holding a sword and all with energy pulsing around the other hand-
Go destroy Blogland, men. Go destroy Blogland.
-runs up to the trees, and teleports into the centre of where everyone is-
I'd be picking up your weapons, ladies and gentlemen, the shows about to start!
LDH, Mara wants to leave Blogland, and if she does, Fabi does, and we all do not want that to happen. And this isn't the story- this is actually happening.
NO!!! MARA!!! i didnt mean it like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SNOW DAMMIT DON'T SAY THAT
[Sings]
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's get back to that
(I promise I'll be better, really I'll do anything)
In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Mara, please don't leave)
#ChaseForBook9
ALEX THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO START A BLOG FIGHT
Hi LDH sorry we are having a lot of issues. I'm Alexis the daughter of Zafira Kerias and Javier Fyrheart.
Mara if you need someone to talk to... You have my email :)
((Alex/Dwyer- wouldyou mind putting the RP on a hold until we sort this out, please?)
*bangs head against wall*
blogland will crumble without you two... :'(
Oh... ok
That's sad :-(
It's already crumbled, Snow. We're just the survivors.
Guys, please don't do this.
Bye, everyone.
It's been a fun year.
xx
#ChaseForBook9
Mara you haven't ruined anything you just got mad and now we are working to resolve said issue. People have issues that need resolving we work them out and then continue what we do. But real life comes first.
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah I agree
Even before I died, I was never really part of any of it. [Smiles sadly]
Also, I timed it so I died just before the dance intensive started... Because I can't be here much, anyway. And I'm starting to feel like I don't want to be.
But then... What I said before is also true still, that's always how I pictured it.
I... I don't know.
#ChaseForBook9
*bangs head on wall*
i swear that was my fault!!!!
:( :'(
Mara, you're gonna make me cry irl if you leave.
And that's not easy to do. Trust me.
Please just stop. OK? Please?
MARA YOU CAN NOT JUST GIVE UP. PLEASE. Look. I know we aren't the best people in the world, but we are only human and we are just trying to do our best. Isn't that what being human means?
And trying our best means not giving up- ever. I know we fucking suck sometimes. And I feel so much guilt about making other people leave that it has popped into my mind numerous times. But you know what? That will not add to the pile! IN fact, more and more people will feel the guilt that I felt and then they will go- and nothing gets solved.
Fabi, I'm sorry.
Guys. Really- I mean it. I'm sorry.
This is what irritates me. People leave over a subplot? Not everyone can jump into it. People would if they could. Ugh. When we were chat and people wanted roleplay we didn't get it. We go roleplay people want chat can we not have peace? What is so damn hard about working both? Because we cant jump into something asap doesn't mean we will ignore it it means we cannot jump into it because of locations or situations!
That's why I didn't leave a long time ago, is because I didn't want to make things worse for the people who are still left.
You all, me included, I guess, say it'll be fixed soon, but it never is.
Every time I come here... It just hurts inside.
I'm starting to get tired of that feeling.
#ChaseForBook9
*growls* Zaf, that isn't helping. I know it sucks. And it's irritating.
But the way you said it is patronizing Mara and Fabi
(Sure. I, uh... I should probably say something as well)
Maralie, you're what makes everything fun. I'm pretty sure you saved Alexis as well. She's a pretty big part of OUR canon. Not Derek's. And is there really a canon if Valkyrie leaves? No. The same goes for you. You're just as much apart of this as anyone else. And, if I had to pick a best friend on this site, as much as I love all of you, it'd be Death. And you make Death happy. And that makes me happy. So don't leave, because then Fabi leaves, and let's be honest here, we all need your song lyrics and bad puns. <3

That is overreacting
GAH!!
if trip had been around it would have been fine!! he always jumps into subplots!!!
i feel i am parshley responsible...
i have to go now anyway, but i will be back later!!
It's not small scale like that.
Also, it's one thing to say peace, another to make it.

By the I'm snows brother
I know that feeling, Fabi- Love hurts, but it is still love. Because we all know that the only way to end this is to get rid of the RP- which it might as well be in a few days when we begin to clear out for the school year.
But half of us don't want to get rid of the RP, and the other half want to leave.
Bloglandians are an endangered species, and getting rid of more isn't going to solve anything.
I'm not trying. I just wish I could help and I cant and if I was around near Mara when her subplot was going on I would have joined in! but I cant. and just...I suck at trying to be nice and calm. I just cant. take when people leave.
Silents
You and me both...
GAH!!! THUNDERSTORM!!!
NOW I Go
byeee
and fabi, you had better still be around when i get back!
Yeah, well Trip is asleep so there isn't a lot we can do...
I dedicate this page to Mara. You are perfect and leaving isn't the answer. Everyone is trying to help and without you and Harry and 1D where are we in life? Nowhere. No. Bloody. Where. Come back home where you belong. We all are trying to and we want you back. Mara we miss you and we want you if we didn't want you around would we really be trying to keep you from leaving? Think. Everyone here wants you. But leaving won't help anyone not the least bit, not even you. Is that really what you want? To leave over something so simple it can be fixed? You are perfect Mara the best 1D fangirl we have.
It gone all quiet
Byeeeeeeee
I know. *sighs* Reacting. I just...never mind. I'll never leave because this is my home.
*sighs* We can't fire with fire, guys. Leaving will not make the leaving stop. Staying will- but does water always put out the fire the first time? No- but we have to keep trying
Try and try again. It's all we can do, we cant force people into anything but we can try to help them.
God *cover face in hands* I can't help but feel that this is my fault... Mara got upset because people were ignoring her and her subplot, and I knew about the subplot and I started to go along with it but for some reason I stopped....
And now Mara's probably gone because I was that selfish....
Sorry guys.. I'm in a bad mood....
Adra... That's some deep shit right there.
LOL
Can we, uh, continue with the roleplay now?
[hugs Adra tightly]
I'm going now. No idea if I'll be back.
Probably, though. When I go, it won't be all dramatic like this... It'll be a time when no one will notice anything out of the ordinary. I'm not much of a one for goodbyes.

Alex I don't know. I would like to so I can try to calm but I wish to wait until more people are willing. This has come my way to let my characters free from my head to do as they want. Alexis is her own self in it all.
Jubi, it's all of our faults.
This is the conundrum I have:
Leave, in which case make more want to leave.
or Stay, and continue to hurt.
See? There is no win in this. And it is true, the only way to rid of it is with getting rid of the RP- but some of us really like that, but as you saw earlier- we talk as well.
It hurt when it was just Dragona, Brave and I. When I woke up this morning, there were only twenty new comments. That hurt a lot. I don't even know what happened to half the people. I miss Cain, Nix, Kallie- everyone who has slipped into the shadows.
((Which, I know Cain is occasionally on here as well, but not like how it used to be))
And it does hurt. A lot. And I want this madness to stop, but if we do stop, then this place will be a wasteland. Like Star said- we're green. But she was wrong about one thing. Yellow is a warm color, but so is green. Green isn't cold. In fact, we care a lot about everyone- and we're selfish because we want both, but can't have both.
Not that I'm about ready to give up the RP..
But I also think that Blogland is an outlet for a lot of people. Like a waterpipe on top of a house, where all the rain flows out. But too much rain makes a flood and some people who don't have a drainpipe begin to drown in the flood, so they try to climb out, or swim- and sometimes they plug up the outlets, and the rainwater backfires.
What I mean to say is that there are:
The people who come on to vent about their issues
The people who come on to get away from their issues
The people who just want to have fun and play.
and The people who have no idea what the hell is going on.
And no one should be patronized for venting. At all. In fact, if it is the only thing keeping you from backfiring on yourself, I encourage it.
But there comes a time when you have to put out an umbrella.
Things like a blog can become an addiction and not owning up to all of your problems is seriously unhealthy. And I understand that some people are in tough situations, but being negative won't help you. We have to stay positive, even when it rains.
It was deep, Alex. It was a metaphor. It got my point across.
I'd also like to point out that being teenagers, or pre-teens we have a lot of pressure on ourselves right now. Finishing school, going to college, thinking about the future- it's terrifying. And on top of that we all have our own individual problems. So sticking a few moody teenagers on a blog together is going to make people draw their guns. Which is okay.
But it isn't okay to give up. That's what I'm saying.
The issues of talk and RP we seem to have fixed and also I think most of the Aussies just aren't on because of school and awkward timezones. But people leaving isn't the answer. The problem now is people not dealing with stuff the right way. I admit sometimes I don't but least I own up to it and I'm not leaving never.
*points to her essay above* I poured my heart into that guys, and I only have one. So you better listen to it because I just gave it to you all.
*sighs* We might as well, Alex. It appears that everyone has cleared out
I can take out your heart and divide it amongst us if you wish Adra
Yeah just go on no use in continuing the emotional crap if technically 3 people are on...maybe 5 if Ari comes on
Nah, I'll leave it there for whoever wants it.
It isn't crap, this is life. We can't just ignore it. But I know what you meant
*explodes Derek* Hey he isn't gonna notice,
Yeah sorry been an exhausting few days I'm quite happy now because I get to sleepover by my grandma
AWWWW my Grandma got me Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks!
