Progress Report

161,556 words. That's how long the book is right now. I wanted to have the edit done by tonight, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. I'm up at 6 in the morning to catch a plane to Leeds, so I'm about to hit the sack.

Oh, and for those of you who were pleading with me to keep LSODM as long as possible... you've got your wish. My editor Nick and my agent Michelle both got back to me, suggesting tiny changes here and there, but nothing that would shorten the book.

So the HUGE amount of characters stay in. The MASSIVE battles stay in. The HILARIOUS jokes and LIGHTNING-FAST wit stay in. Verily, it is a good day to be a Minion.

And I've just been chatting to Laura, who calls it the "deepest and darkest one yet". So I've got her all-important seal of approval, which makes me happy.

When it's out, when you've read it, I'll talk more about the writing of it, and the various problems I had to deal with in order to make it work. Everything from Book Two onwards has been leading up to LSODM, after all. Of all the books, this is the one I was certain about from the very beginning, in 2005, but it was one I was the most unsure about when I was actually writing it. So it comes as a relief to know it's actually good.

So... tomorrow I'm in Leeds— the tickets to which are now sold out— and on Saturday I'm signing in Waterstones in York at 11AM— and no tickets needed.

I'm been really quiet lately, on the Blog and on Twitter, and I do apologise for that, but I had to devote all my attention to the book. Now that it's (practically) done, I can get back to normal. Which'll be... er... nice.

I guess...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey everyone, sorry I wasn't online yesterday. I'm just not in the best of moods anymore. I thought about #78"8%3 more than seven times yesterday and my friend was over but I don't think she's my real friend and my iPad got really cracked and my mother is really angry at me and refuses to talk to me until I apologise (which I did, several times - I even started crying at one point because she wouldn't forgive me) and the swingset broke and mam blames me and my friends even though we were just swinging on it, not messing, and this girl I know got LM and 1D tickets (she already saw LM but just got the 1D ones the other day, entirely out of luck) and started rubbing it in my face, saying "Bet you wish you had these!" and then she kept telling me how screwed up my family was because my dad and mam aren't living together, and to top it all off I started getting sick at 2am and didn't stop until 2:40am, and it's that time again.

So, I'm not really that happy at all.

Sorry for ranting... I just needed to say that. Bye.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

:')

Beautiful.

WHY WALLABIES?!?!?!?
WHY DID YOU LOOSE?!?!?!?!?

Jophiel said...

*Waves*
Blogversary next month...
*Stares at nothing*
I think I need some whiskey...

Jophiel said...

Wallabies lost what? There is no AFL team called the Wallabies..

Jophiel said...

Death Cab for Cutie... I laugh at that name... Though Thais songs are very tasteful!

Duck said...

HEY DEATH!!!
My Blogversary is in, like, 6 more months. THATS AGES AWAY!
But yay for you!

You shouldn't be having whisky, Death. Instead, change the y to an er so then it would be whiskers. And you would be a cat. Everyone loves cat. Nobody loves whisky.

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

I love whiskey!! It tastes like metho!!!

Mrawr!

Jophiel said...

Mr. Quackers, I don't follow sport, I'm too amaZayn for that!! I follow the rain down my window though, and the welfare of my fellow Bloglandians.

Jophiel said...

You will learn when you have to cook with a Trangia... You get metho on your fingers and no matter how much anti-bacterial hand sanitizer stuff you use, YOU CAN STILL TASTE IT!!!!!!!

Jophiel said...

Sit Back Now
Let Me Tell You A Tale
Where Justice Does Not Prevail

About An Ill-Fated Life
So Very Full Of Strife
Where Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Right

So

When I Was Born
I Did Surely Scorn
My Proud Parent's Name
Then Their Lives Went Down The Drain
Drove Them Insane
My Birth Was A Curse
I Bit The Nurse
Oh, But I Love The Worst
I Deserve To Be Slowly Submersed
Dried Out Then Laid In A Hearse

When I Was Two
I Poured Super Glue
Into My Fathers Hair
As He Sat Unaware
In His Arm Chair
Much To His Dismay
Had To Cut It All Away
Oh, But It Felt Great
I Deserve To Be Cut And Filleted
Then Tossed About In Disarray
Until The Pieces Melt Away

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Four
I'd Wait By The Door
With A Knife In My Hand
And A Most Devious Plan
It Would Be Quite Grand
As The Mail Fell Through The Slot
The Sharp Edge He Got
Oh, But I Love The Thought
I Deserve To Be Tied In A Knot
Broken Bones And Blood Clots

When I Was Six
I Used To Trick
The Next Door Neighbors Son
In The Woods We Would Run
Time For Fun
Hide N Seek Has A Cost
He Would Be Forever Lost
Oh, But I Love To Scoff
I Deserve To Have My Head Lopped Off
Hidden And Covered In Moss
Until This Memory's Forgot

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Eight
I Used To Hate
The Color Of My House
So As Quiet As A Mouse
I Burned It Down
To The Ground
When No One Was Around
Oh, But I Love The Sound
I Deserve To Be Quickly Put Down
Rotting Six-Feet Underground

When I Was Ten
I Used To Pretend
To Drown In The Sea
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Till They'd Come To Rescue Me
Then Preceed
To Laugh In Their Face
Such A Disgrace
Oh, But I Love The Taste
I Deserve To Have My Brains Displaced
All Over The Fireplace
Until This Life Has Been Erased

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
*Not Quite What He Seems*
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Twelve
I Used To Delve
Into Evil Schemes
Just To Elicit Screams
Boost My Self Esteem
Pushed My Sister Down A Well
She Just Fell
Oh, But I Love To Dwell
I Deserve To Roast Deep Down In Hell
Where No One Can Hear Me Yell

When I Was Fourteen
Nothing Much Happened

Well
There Was That One Time

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems
Not Quite What He Seems
Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
It's Exactly What It Seems

When I Was Sixteen
Life Was Frightening
My Brother Was Quite Dull
So With Laughter In My Skull
Pushed Him In A Hole
Then Buried Him Alive
He Barely Survived
Oh, But I Love The Cries
I Deserve To Be Battered And Fried
In An Electric Chair That's Set On High

Now That I'm Eighteen
I Still Hate Things
From This Padded Cell I Call My Home
No Friends, No Phone
No Life To Call My Own

Here I Will Lie
Until The Very Day I Die
Until My Blood Begins To Dry
And I Return To The Darkness From Whence I Came

So

I Am Not A Bad Man
Even Though I Do Bad Things
Very Bad Things
Such Horrible Things
But It's Not Quite What It Seems

Not Quite What I Seem
Ah, Hell
I'm Exactly What I Seem

I'm I the only one who thinks

Jophiel said...

*Am I the only one who thinks of me when they read that



Damn you Blogger...

Jophiel said...

And Alistair. I found him a new theme song!!!

Duck said...

Well I'm too amaZayn to get metho on my fingers.

Also, it's not Bloglandians, it's BlogLANDYans!

Jophiel said...

I'd be lying if I said I didn't see that coming...


I SAW SKULDUGGERY OUTSIDE SUPERNOVA IN MELBOURNE!!!!!!!

Duck said...

I like that song, it's funny.
I really like the line that says: 'Find More Lyrics At www.sweetlyrics.com'

SKULDUGGERY WAS IN MELBOURNE! IN MORTAL SIGHT! WITHOUT HIS FACE THINGMIBOB!

Jophiel said...

I know, I was looking for other versions and I saw that website and then I was all like, yep! I'm a total rebdog... *Puts web address in*
I was gonna do it twice but I though that was a bit much..,

Yeah, he got out of a freaking Bentley and then put his hat on. I screamed in the car and dad thought we'd hit someone...

Duck said...

A BENTLEY!!!!!!!
Was is a 1954 Bentley R-type Continental?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

There was a Bentley driving down my road oncd and i screamed

Duck said...

ZAF!!!!!

I've never seen a Bentley... :'(

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

I don't know... Dad yelled at me and I tried to get out if the car and chase him down... Unfortunately, I forgot to take my seatbelt off...

Duck said...

I would have tried to get out of the car too. But me, being me, would gave taken my seatbelt off.

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

Shut up... At least I saw him...

Okay... My all nighter is kicking in... Ugh.. Tired... If any of you see Alistair, can you show him his new theme song?
*Points to funny song*

Duck said...

SIR, YES SIR!

NO, SIR, I DID NOT, SIR!

Popping in just so say- I have horseback inan hour (apparently I didn't hear my alarm an hour an a half )ago

So I will be back around 11/4...

Ah....

Rightyo Adra!!!!!

Oh, so this would be an inconvenient time for me to show up, then?

Duck said...

LOOK UP AT DEATH'S SONG, ALASTAIR!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Probably.I mean you can... But it would be if we wanted to to continue where we left off)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh but I can do something with Alastair for once

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Well, *shifts into raven and hovers in the air* *speaks in mind* I'm curious to see what you've planned, so here we are again. Do whatever you like.

Noelle said...

*rolls eyes* yeah you have fun, Zaf. (you get to be there with the... Event. today, so. Yay. )

Noelle said...

*sits on the floor* I'll be on later, if you wouldn't mind waiting. But then again, you are you, and you're interested. So of course you won't mind.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair may I ask why you think something is up?

Alexis: Good morning Alastair! *plays on a swing*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I might mind. I'm not that interested. But nor am I impatient, so I will likely be here later.

Noelle said...

*nods* and so I trust that statement.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I will too! Zaffy wont be leaving til like 9pm cuz fireworks at the raceway

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Zafira, I'm not thick. Or blind. You're all lucky that I like surprises, or I would have looked into Adra's mind to see what she's got planned.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*laughs*'

Alastair the truly sad thing she hasn't planned a thing! Unless you count getting drunk

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Trust. It's a very interesting phenomenon. I ought to think a little more about how it works.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah seriously this is Adra we speak of Alastair she'll be drunk off her head

Alexis: *pokes Alastair* are you a ghost?

Duck said...

...you odd people...

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I think i scared Alastair away....little creep probably would hurt Alexis to have fun

Niccolò Croatoan said...

No, Alexis, as of now I have a physical form.

Of course I would hurt her for fun! Did you miss the part where I killed the 6 year old the other day?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No I didnt actually so i can

*punches Alastair in face*

Did that hurt?

Alexis: why would you kill someone?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

No. When you subject yourself to pain, you build tolerance. I've had over 500 years to subject myself to all sorts of pain. Even if you had hurt me, though, I would've enjoyed it. I'm not just a sadist.

Killing people is fun, little girl. You ought to try it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You have issues Alastair why would you kill an innocent child? Maybe because no woman would love you ever so you are jealous.

Alexis: *accidently sets Alastair's hand on fire* oops *hides in a tree*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*stares at hand for a moment before extinguishing flame* Come on, sweetheart. You'll have to do better than that.

Children are by far the most fun to torture- they cling to life so closely, and it's just too much fun to slowly tear it away.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair why do you enjoy killing people? I don't understand why would you want to take away a person's life? I know you may think as a Necromancer I would like death but in reality yea they join the stream but why take them from their living family?

Alexis: *throws fireball at his head and balls*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*extinguishes flame before it reaches it*

No, I wouldn't expect you to understand. I would, however, expect Justaria to understand, and therefore you, too. As much as you pretend you're separate, Justaria is you. Your true name is the essence of your being. Everything you suppress is still part of you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I...I AM NOT JUSTARIA

*lunges at Alastair*

(Lol my nephew is so cute tis his b-day today

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*sidestepps at the last second, letting her run past him, and elbows the base of her skull as she passes* Yes, you are. Lie to yourself all you want- you are your true name, whether you like it or not. I ought to know that more than anyone, don't you think?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*ends up crashing face first into the ground* owww *rolls onto back* Justaria isnt me! She is NOTHING like me! I control her you can't even force her out she may be a lunatic but she is a hell lot better then you

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*chuckles* All right, you can make this about me if you can't handle the truth.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*sighs* fine maybe you are right I sound like Valkyrie Cain Justaria may be part of me but I will never be like her when I'm in control

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Good for you. Living in denial is just pathetic.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair where did Alexis go? She had my hand a minute ago....*goes pale* you didnt touch my child did you?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*laughs* I may have... Just a little...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*grabs you by the throat* WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CHILD ANSWER ME OR I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE SEVERED IN HALF

You are one creepy child-abducting weirdo aren't you Alistair?

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*wicked grin* Go ahead. Kill me, if you want. See what happens to her. Want to guess what I've done? You should know how it works- you've been there, too.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh you dick. *punches Alistair in the face*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You mother firetrucking bastard

*sends a kick to his nuts and punches in face with shadows*

Give me my daughter back Alastair! I don't care what you want me to do i'll do it juat give me Alexis back

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*is punched in the face* I really need to come here more regularly. You people are too fun!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Did you know your daughter is adorable when she whimpers?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*uses energy to pull Alistair's face really fast towards him and punches it, hand coated with energy.* Damn I've wanted to do that for a while.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Oh yeah, screw you, Zaf. *glares*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is trying to not completely lose it* Alastair i will do whatever you want just let her go

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*hits Alistair with energy with the same properties as a lead pipe* I'll break your knees you bastard!

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*uses energy to retreive lighter fluid bottles from bar, smashes over Alistair's head, sets fire to it with fire like energy* Oh yeah, that's the other reason I keep lighter fluid in whiskey bottles.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You dont want to help get my daughter back fine Adra you just watch not like you care anyway eh?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Yes, good for you, Trip. So, *gestures to Adra* what's going on between the two of you, anyway?

Zafira, it's happening again. You try to hurt me, then insult me, then I laugh, and in the end you beg. See? Happens evey time.

Noelle said...

Zaf, you think I don't care, but can you honestly way you want me to? Because I don't think you want me to care. You just want to yell at me.

*looks at Alastair* That's none of your concern.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Sure it is. I like to keep track of who cares about who. It's really very useful to know.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Guys, he's trying to 11410321142412 divide us again!

If either of you 022230300450 let him, I'll...do something.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair give me my child back!!!!


Adra am I yelling at you now? No. I said what I had to last night and I am done. If you choose to sit there and be mad fine

Noelle said...

*shrugs* Think what you want but you're trying to pin your emotions on me and blame everyone but you. Not my fault.

*looks at Alastair* Well you tell me, then. What is going on?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

No, I'm definitely not giving the child back.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh my god Alastair seriously what do I have to do to get her back?

Adra instead of fighting why dont we just put it behind us and move forward?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Adra, if you have to ask, it means I'm winning.

Noelle said...

Fine. But I really don't want to hear you complain. It doesn't suit you. And it doesn't suit me having to hear it.

Winning? Whoever said that it started? Well, with you and me, in the least.

Oh, and Zaf, don't completely blame Alastair for taking Alexis. You were the one who brought here here....

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I did send her home I dunno how she escaped back...Javier was home with her

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Okay, here for ten.

Alice, I still very much do not like you.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*glances at the previous LOT of comments* heh. Hangovers.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Fabienne, if you told me you liked me, I would ask you what I had done wrong.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair please...let her go *is pretty much scared to death*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

You do NOT want to tell him that, Zaf. It will only make him something resembling happy.

Alice, if I told you I liked you, it'd either be a joke, or part of the plan. Hard to say which. Probably a joke.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

He has no human emotions Fabi never has never will

Niccolò Croatoan said...

You should all start listening to Fabienne- so far, she's right about most everything she's said about me.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Of course I have emotions, Zafira. I'm just as human as the rest of you.

Noelle said...

*sighs* Zafira, I think that begging would be the least helpful thing to do right now. He likes it, and will want you to keep doing it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair if you were least bit human you would let Alexis go but you are a monster. What do you think you'll gain from having her? She's one smart cookie Alastair

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Humans are monsters. They just don't like to believe it.

My gain is her pain, and yours.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair is she screaming? Am I screaming? I know I'm not why dont you pick on sombody your own size?

Alexis: LET ME GO POOPY HEAD!

Noelle said...

*whispers* We stop looking under the bed for monsters when we realize they're inside of us.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Oh, Adra, that was beautifully put. Beautifully put.

Noelle said...

*curtsies* Why thank you, Alastair.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*wraps shadows around Alastair's throat* i'll kill you and then she'll be free! Anyone Niccolo or you stole will be free

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Um, no, Zafira, that's not how it works. Kill me, and everyone inside me will die. You see, all the names I stole are mine now- they're all parts of me, just as Justaria is part of you, only not so cleanly. Niccolò isn't there anymore, though if you kill me it'll only leave him permanently stranded, and even though I don't have her name I have Alexis' consciousness, so if I die, she'll die too.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair what do you want me to do?! All i want is my child if you give her back i wont hurt you if you don't i force her out with a few sigils...they got me out if you remember

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Zafira, think about it for a moment. You were torn apart by a canyon. If I was still connected to you then, I would have been torn aoart too, and you were brought back by the sigils, which wouldn't have brought me back if they broke the connection. I let you go just in time for you to die. I do keep an eye on the goings on around here, even if I don't show myself.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alastair then what do i have to do to have my daughter again?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*sighs* I don't think you get it. This isn't some sort of hostage situation. I don't want you to do anything, except suffer.

Noelle said...

*casually sips drink, watching this go down*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I AM SUFFERING ALASTAIR I-

*justaria comes out*

Justaria: Hi Alastair!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Well, there goes the fun. *vanishes*

Noelle said...

*hops off a chair* Dammit, I was rather hoping that wouldn't happen.
I'm going for a walk.
*walks off again*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Justaria: okay...*lets Zaf out*

YOU FIRETRUCKING COWARD I WANT MY CHILD BACK!!!!!!!

*collapses against tree*

Adra can I have a whiskey?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hey.

HELLOOO

Noelle said...

*waves her hand* Be my guest. Not my bar. Just make sure to grab the whiskey, and not the fire starter.
Although they taste the same.

Hello Mara, Jubi.

*wanders into the library, taking a back hallways and down a long pair of steps*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi

*is laying against tree pretty much a complete wreck*

DAU!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*


hi.

Noelle said...

*glances around the room, goes back upstairs to pick up more books and some food*

You know, you really ought to have more control of her. Most alter-egos come out in immediate danger, and yours came out when you were hurt.
And that seems to happen a lot.

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

JUBIBEANS!!!!!!!! *issupermegatackledhugsofdoomed and giant snugglehugs back*

hiiiiii.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Usually she comes out if im about to lose it so mentally yeah i was in danger

Noelle said...

*sighs* I just don't understand. Not just you, most everyone who has discovered their true name. They don't rely on themselves to do the dirty work, so they let their feral sides out.
*sits in a chair*
Because, quite honestly, it isn't always so much the force, as it is the way you use your strength. That's why I usually only use my alchemy for portals, because I don't rely on my magic to sustain me.
Nasty habit that would be

Duck said...

Hmm...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

With me Adra I am a crap hand to hand fighter so i prefer to use my magic in combat

Duck said...

IT'S 2:00 IN THE MORNING! WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?!?! I REALLY NEED TO GET TO SLEEP BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF NITHING TO DO TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

BYE¿

*shrugs* You could always get a teacher. *lights a few candles*

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

BYE DUCK! *quacks awfully*

Duck said...

When I say nithing, I mean nothing, not nithing or even knitting.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah I plan to eventually when the Alastair crisis is over

*gets self a whiskey and drinks*

I GOT IT! I sound sadistic but let's throw Alexis's body into the canyon and where i can bring HER back the sigils wont bring Alastair back

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

I can knit....

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Bye Duck!

Noelle said...

*looks at Zaf* You're kidding me. Did you not hear him?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra he broke the connection with me because of that.l..

*sighs*

I tried

Noelle said...

How do you know that he will break the connection? How do we know that there even is one? Besides, there must be another way. He doesn't have Alexis' true name, so they aren't tied as you and he were, so it's different.
*Shakes head* You'll kill her.

Fool me once, fool me twice, Zaf. He's not going to fall for it again. Even so, if you call it "falling"

Dau Sketch ~ Aussieminion (minus the funny accent) said...

errr... I think I have to go to sleep now...

see you guys later! :) have fun!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Bye Dau!

It was just an idea Adra...*sighs*

Noelle said...

(Adios Dau!)
Oh yes, I know. Clearly. But you need to learn to control your feelings better, Zafira. He's not going to let her go if you are reduced to a sniveling ball of feelings every time he opens his mouth.
I've said this, and I'll say it again. He enjoys watching you hurt, and maybe if you don't, he'll back off, hunt someone else.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra she's my DAUGHTER of course i would lose it!

*sighs* i can try to stay calm

Noelle said...

*raises eye brow* You can't try to be calm. You will be calm. That's all there is to it.

*frowns* and quit sighing at the end of every sentence. It's not befitting this demeanor of yours.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ugh i am trying to remain calm ok? Trying

Noelle said...

Alright. You do that. *draws on the floor*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*plays aimlessly with shadows*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Sorry... I'm not really in a talking mood.

I just need to go curl up and die...

Bye, again.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(*hugs Mara tightly*)
*finishes drawing and goes to retrieve some water*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra what are you doing?

Noelle said...

*begins pacing* Damn silence.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Sorry Adra..

*hangs from dynamite tree*

Noelle said...

I'm drawing. A mural. On the floor.
*raises her finger over her lips* Shhhhh

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Cool

*watches*

Noelle said...

*giggles and runs back up the stairs to the library, digging a large blanket out of the closet and wanders around the bookshelves, smelling books*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Crazy

*sleeps*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Brb shower

Noelle said...

*shakes head* okay. Whatever. *hums to herself and finds a spare set of knives in her desk, pulling them out*
*begins to practice her throwing knives at FIfty Shades of Grey*

Noelle said...

*sighs, putting her knives down, sitting on a tall pedestal. She pulls up a basket with fabrics in the inside*
A new dress. Finally.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Uni

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to Alexis. Alexis my baby when you return i will be haopy I love you...

To killing Alastair: DIE DIE DIE

Noelle said...

*shrugs* Why not?
*raises glass*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*grins*

I WILL HAVE VENGENACE I WILL HAVE SALVATION!

Noelle said...

Viva la Resistance and all that jazz, yeah?

Noelle said...

*puts head in her hand, putting her dress and needles and thread back*
I'm bored.
*jumps from the pedestal*
There's nothing to do

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah i know the SP quiz is at 2 on Twitter

Noelle said...

Yeah, I don't do those. They're rather... *Shakes head* I don't do those

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Just figured it was something
