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...

Then again, I have no reason to, you're all so...

Oh, gods. [Stares back at the building]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

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

Noelle said...

No, save your energy Zaf....

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

[Shrugs] Um... I'd say thanks, but I didn't really plan it, so... [Shrugs again]

Is everything all right in there?

#ChaseForBook9

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

I'm fine Adra i'm fine I can harness Justaria's power just lemme know when

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

Bye, Death.

Oh, yeah, thanks for that, Zaf.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Bye Death and of course Fabi. Glad to help

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

I dedicate this page to not getting first as i am running out of ideas....uh to everyone on Blogland whom I love even Alastair/ Niccolo

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Justin. Justin Blue. *giggles a little more, then winces* so are you gonna try to kill me now or what?

Noelle said...

*facepalms* You have got to be kidding me.

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

Woa who is Justin Blue?!

Noelle said...

One of the souls in Alastair's head.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Disintegrating cells like nobody else! Woohoo! *starts to whistle tunlessly*

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

Justin Blue?

[Raises eyebrow]

I have no idea.

Being me, I'm inclined to think it's an alias. If that were me, it would be an alias, but Alice...?

[Shrugs]

#ChaseForBook9

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

Well they could be better then Alastair want me to let you guys out?

Noelle said...

What kind of an idiot calls themselves Justin Blue?

What the hell just happened with you?

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

Or that.

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

*Walks up to Justin*
Hi! Death Rose! What's your disipline? Why'd he choose you?
*Smiles*
Welcome back to life!!

Jophiel said...

Oh, I might suddenly disappear... We're a leaving soon!!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*laughs uncontrollably* Well I used to kill people, but then they were all gonna lock me up so I- you know what I did? I says to them, no! And then I was a hermit. And then I was nobody. And I kinda lost it! *yells excitedly*

Noelle said...

*slaps Justin, HARD across the face*
You're obnoxious.
Your grammar is incorrect.
And you're too happy.

Jophiel said...

Okay... Well, hi!

Jophiel said...

Who cares if he's happy?! Being happy is fun!!
*Gives Justin purple knife*
Cheers! I'm leaving now! For reals!!

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

Okay lets just....I GOT IT Justy knows how to being out people uhm do we want Coco or Alice?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*erupts in coughing fit* *rolls slowly out of Adra's lap* *continues to cough* *eventually stops coughing and breathes heavily* *speaks as calmly as possible with a throat full of blood* I am sorry you all had to see... That... *attempts to stand, and falls again*

Jophiel said...

Coco is gone... Left in the past...

Now gone!!!

Noelle said...

I like Alistair better than this weirdo. He at least was fun to talk to.

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

...Today has been very bizarre.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Who are you?!

Noelle said...

SON OF A BITCH.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*curses under breath* That was a very, very dumb idea... I can't even telep- *is cut off by more coughing*

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

WHO ARE YOU? ARE YOU ALASTAIR I DEMAND AN ANDWER

Noelle said...

*puts a hand on Alistair's shoulder and closes her eyes*
Hold still.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*rolls on to back and continues to breathe heavily* Adra, if you're ever going t- *coughs again* to kill me... There will never be a better time.

Noelle said...

*opens them* You have internal bleeding, you need to get to a hospital.

*pulls his arm around her shoulders and steps from the circle*

Zaf! Take us to the nearest hospital!

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

*grabs and shadow-walks to the Sanctuary*

*immediately they sedate Alastair and work on him*

He will be treated normally they dont have orders to arrest nor will they ever

Noelle said...

*falls to her knees on the ground, face-first* Oh God...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

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

Adra you'll be fine...*is pretty weak but unharmed

If yiu ever do that again i will bitch slap whoever makes it like hell to get out

Noelle said...

I'm too dizzy for this... *takes a sip of her whiskey*

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

I'm just going to watch this, I think. And stay out of this one!

...

"At last, where hast thou been? I fear they come
In this direction. Pray, what shall we do?
My circuitry o'erloads, my mind's o'erthrown!
And fear hath put its grip into my wires.
We shall be sent unto that place I dread---
That Kessel spice mines whence no droid returns---
And there be blasted into who knows what!
Anon, anon, R2, where cost thou go?
O' prithee, patience, leave me not alone.
Aye, even tough I mock and injure thee,
I'll surely die e'er thou leavest me!"

[Exeunt droids]

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

Adra...

*sighs and ends up sitting near where Alastair is*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*growls softly* Alastair... *mutters to self* I promised him, that if I died, I was going to kill him. *yells* Alastair I am going to kill you! *takes deep breath* I should probably go... Headache...

Noelle said...

*groans* I think I've broken my leg somehow*
*glances down at it*
Nope, just shot. Shot by my own damn gun.

*looks up at Zaf* how is he?

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

He'll be fine in a few hours at most

Ari get reat

Gtg going to hersey tomorrow have wifi there so be hree bit but night

Noelle said...

(Doesn't know if Aretha literally has a headache or not)

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

[hugs Ari]

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*he
If he died I would kill him, not if I died. Sorry. *grumbles to self about grammar*

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

Though he cant use his magic or move for a few days

Now bue

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I actually do have a sort of headache/ concentration thing going on, so I think I really should go, sorry... I just had to yell at him... *hugs everyone who wants hugs* *vanishes*

Noelle said...

Awh. *falls over* Well there goes that.

Noelle said...

(hope you feel better though)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

*apologizes for not being able to make Alastair do the tag* *actually leaves*

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

Two...

They don't know about the other. I haven't seen... Or heard...

Oh gosh...

Uh, not going to explain that. Probably shouldn't be reading the news, they'll call us eventually.

#ChaseForBook9

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

I'm going to leave as well, sorry... If I stay, I'll babble.

Bye...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I know, Fabi. I think... The overall process just... Snapped him, just for a second. And he was Justin Blue. But then he gained control again.

Dammit.

Noelle said...

*breathes heavily against the floor*

I'm so done. With magic.
What the hell.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*suddenly vanishes* *appears roughly 30 minutes later with fixed, non-bloody clothes* *continues to breathe rather heavily and leans against wall* Adra, why would you want to save my life?

Noelle said...

*cringes, holding her leg as she props herself against the wall*

Because... Because... Everyone deserves a second chance. And I couldn't let you die, because...
*shakes head*

I think there's still... Hope for you.

Noelle said...

You asked me earlier why I care about humans...
Because I think that everyone can change.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

After 500 plus years of sadism, you think I'll change? You sound like Aretha.

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

Not what I meant. Not at all.

Oh, whatever!

Guys, I'll probably be distant for a while coming up this week. I'd say I wouldn't be here at all, but who am I kidding? Even if I get a load of 34131440 for being on my iPod do much, I'm going to be in Blogland.

I have a lot going on, though--none of it anything you should be worrying about--so if I'm here, I really shouldn't be.

[Facepalm]

When words want to burst out of your mouth, but you don't say them because it'll hurt a friend.

But it might cost you later.

Too bad.

I'll stop overdramatizing it all now, and bye.

I'm really sorry...it just came as a shock.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*corner of her mouth turns up* Hey, give me a break... I'm not exactly in a good condition, and I can't exactly walk...

*peers up* so what happened to you?

Noelle said...

(okay Fabi! *hugs*)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Do you mean with the burst of energy, or the bit with Justin?

Noelle said...

A little bit of both. *pats the seat next to her* Have a seat... Stay a while..

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*tries to laugh, ends up coughing a little more* *sits down* Oh, I'm not going anywhere fast. Here. *places hand on Adra's shoulder, leg begins to heal* *removes hand and coughs just a little more* That's not completely healed, but it's close enough. Shouldn't hurt as much, anyway.

Noelle said...

*grits teeth as it heals* Thanks, I appreciate it. Really, I do. You probably need your energy to fix yourself though...

Did you find out what's up with you?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*leans head back against and smiles* I figured if I blew the walls- and therefore thy symbols written on them- to smithereens, the spell would break. I knew it was a gamble. I'm sure it would have worked, though, if I'd had more energy. But large chunks of the wall- including the parts with sybols, apparently- remained intact, so the whole thing came crashing back down on me. I'm incredibly lucky that I didn't die on the spot. That doesn't mean I'm safe- I'll probably be dead within 24 hours- but I'm still lucky I didn't die right away. Most of my names were disappointed at that.

Noelle said...

*sits up* Die?

You, or your consciousness?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

All of us, naturally. You can calm down, though- there's nothing to be done for it. It's just the nature of the energy I inadvertently slammed into myself. If I'm very, very, very lucky, I'll just be comatose for a while and then I might live. But chances of that are slim. Don't fret over it.
I shouldn't have even become conscious when I did, but Justin saw an opening and pushed himself through, and it took me a few seconds to push him out again. He wanted that taste of freedom badly. So badly, I suppose, he ouldn't figure out how to hold on once he had it.

Noelle said...

*looks up at him* What's happening to you, then? You said that your body is/might die.. How? What cause?

Noelle said...

*sighs* Lord, you've gone and fallen asleep, haven't you?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

The energy I use for that particular discipline has to be channeled from life. Usually I can tap into animals, trees, grass, or- far more frequently- other people, so I don't have to use my own life force, but I didn't have the power to do that at the time, so I essentially concentrated a good bit of energy and projected it forcefully into the w-*coughs a little* the walls and ceiling. I threw a large portion of energy away and then had it shoved right back at me. That was too much for my body to handle, I suppose. It'll just keep disintegrating until it peaks, which should happen sometime within 24 hours. Then I'll either just shut down entirely and die, or shut down almost entirely and take a long time to recover.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*smirks* Not asleep, just a bit slower than usual. (They keyboard died, so I have to write with a touch screen now, and Aretha is not good at touch screens.)

Noelle said...

*apparently not*

So... So you need life force then?

Noelle said...

Why didn't you just kill us, then? What stopped you?

Noelle said...

*frowns* Or, you could just get a new body.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

It takes time, concentration, and at least a little inner stability to be able to draw energy from others, and I was already tired, so that just wasn't going to happen. There's a reason why I don't typically use that discipline.

It's not a lack of life force that's the problem, just the way it collapsed inwards on me. I suppose you could say it's fluctuating far too much, and tearing me apart as a result. But honestly, why do you care? Why should you? You had every intention of killing me before.

Noelle said...

OR, you could just get a new body, right?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I don't quite see how that would work- the only person I know who can steal, and therefore move, true names is Niccolò, who happens to be unavailable, and probably wouldn't help anyway. Just leave it. Aretha isn't going to allow me to die, anyway- she's strictly forbidden it, actually- so I'm sure she'll figure something out. Knowing her, she'll drag me off somewhere and force my blood to keep running till I'm out of danger. No need to make an issue out of nothing. And my question still stands- why would you care?

Noelle said...

I get the feeling that no one has ever done anything nice for you.
I don't doubt Aretha... But...*offers Alastair her hand* You need to get to Nye- he can stall the coma state and maybe stop that cough of yours and buy you some time.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

My parents were, well, parents- not exceptional, but they were always kind. So was the blacksmith I worked under. And many of the names I have we're stolen from people who dedicated their lives to helping others. Some tried to help me. I've always seen it as weakness- you'll save my life today, just so I can kill you tomorrow. *shakes head* It doesn't make sense. *stares at hand* I appreciate the effort, but I think I'd rather not go anywhere. This *glances around at Sanctuary* is already far less than ideal. I wouldn't allow Aretha to do anything, either, if I wasn't her prisoner, but there you go.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*sighs* I shouldn't have mentioned it...

Noelle said...

Well, then. *takes a swig of her whiskey bottle, then offers it to Alastair*
You sound like you need it, mate

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*stares at bottle for a while* *shrugs, finally accepts bottle, and takes a swig* Normally I would have to decline- I prefer not to have my senses dulled- but it doesn't much matter now, anyway, so thank you. *drinks a little more, then hands bottle back*

Noelle said...

*leans back* Damn, is that stuff gross.
*laughs weakly* Look at this. Basically enemies, and we're sharing a drink. I think that the world has gone tipsy

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*nods* I believe it has. Since everything is more or less the opposite of what it should be, and it looks like we're just going to sit here anyway, perhaps I'll try once more... *coughs a little* to understand your definition of human. What exactly is the appeal of compassion just for the sake of compassion? What do you gain by caring for one another?

Noelle said...

I suppose there are many answers to this... One being that everyone should be as an equal, and everyone gets the same opportunity at life, and what to live. Caring shows that you want them to have a good life, or a better one. It shows that you can support them, and they support you, and it's good to know that someone will always have your back. I guess people care... Because they want to help. You go on about primitive instincts, but not all of them are negative. Protection and love are primitive instincts as well, and out of love comes care for another.

Besides, doing something for someone else always feels pretty good.

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

Caring and helping, it's like a form of communication, I guess...

#ChaseForBook9

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

And it lets you know your alive.

...

Yeah, Adra worded it better.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Thanks, Fabi. I live and breathe words.

Snow said...

back....

so, what have i missed?

Noelle said...

More like what haven't you missed.

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

[Shrugs] I live and breathe air, I guess.

Hey, Snow...

Well, we got rid of the spell that was making everyone's magic reverse... And Alastair's dying.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

ah... o-kay

Noelle said...

*takes a swig of her whiskey* Oh, and we basically threw all the laws of humanity out the window

Snow said...

*nods* when are we not doing something like that, adra?

Noelle said...

*shrugs* Fair enough.

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

[Shrugs]

It was bizarre.

And I just tried to paste #ChaseForBook9, but I forgot I've been typing it out and pasted the beginning lyrics and first chorus of ''Mad World'

Not sure why I'm pointing it out.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

:D

i miss all the craziness...

Noelle said...

Apparently so.

Snow said...

goddamnit

ah, well

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

Oh, I still have the needle. [Pulls it out of hair]

I should probably destroy it, huh?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

That would be wisest, I think.

Snow said...

wait, what pin?????

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

Yeah... [Decides not to use magic] [Breaks it in half]

#ChaseForBook9

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

The one that makes magic rebound.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*yawns, then shivers, bringing her knees up into a ball*
I'm surprised the press isn't here yet

Snow said...

what if they are *creepy-face*

what if they're Invisible??

Noelle said...

Noooooooooo! *covers ears*
I'm just going to get some sleep, so I'll see you all in a few hours then.

*falls asleep on the spot*

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

Um...

[Points to whole needle]

I think we may have a teensy little problem.

#ChaseForBook9

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

G'bye Adra.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Oh, fine! Paste there!

#ChaseFoRBook9

Snow said...

i am in a really odd mood.....


fabi, to solve the problem, you should eat the needle!!!

Noelle said...

(let's not do that please, ladies)

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

Um, it's pointy?

Oh, I know!

[Breaks the needle in half again]

[Fixes it with magic immediately]

[needle shatters into tiny metal fragments]

There.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

(do wat, adra??)

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

Do what, eat the needle? Good idea.

[Eyes fragments suspiciously]

I think it really broke this time, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

:D

wbd, msd

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

Night...

[Collapses]

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*waders halls of sanctuary, hands in pockets.* I really wouldn't mind a chat with Alistair right now. Of course he wouldn't, for two main reasons. One, it would be doing something I wanted, an therefore not causing me pain, and secondly, because it wouldn't be causing me pain, it wouldn't be /fun/. Seriously, the only thing unpredictable about that man is how he chooses to hurt us every day, and even that always involves our friends and family. Then he'll give a lecture on what he stands for and what he believes in once or twice, get bored and give us our friend back. It's just /who/.

Sorry I poofed, breakfast.

I'm... good, I suppose. Still breathing :P
How're you?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Luci's never on the blog anymore... or Star.

I miss them... :/

I'd email them, but I just can't.. I have nothing to say to them that would do anything or tell them anything.

I'm not making much sense. *sighs*

Never mind... Just ignore me.

*tiptoes in and hides in a corner*

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Breakfast at this time? :O

Tired, I guess. 18 hour journey and a 30 minute nap.


Star isn't on the blog? *checks past comments*
That's strange....she was still on regularly before I left to Germany last week.
And I knew Luci was getting distant, but not that distant.
I miss them too:( *hugs Mara tightly*


Hi, Adra!!! Oooh...I see you!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*

Noelle said...

(Hi! Ok, so I just woke up and I closed my eyes for a second and now it's 40 minutes later. I'm sorry!)

Noelle said...

(Anyone else on?)

Noelle said...

*whispers* I WALK THE LONELY ROAD

Duck said...

Çëīłîñg Fåń§

Noelle said...

...Right.

Noelle said...

*silence again*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Who would like a flower?

Noelle said...

*raises hand* Meeeee!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Here. *tosses unidentifiable gold flower to Adra* *flower appears to be breathing*

Noelle said...

*picks it up* What is it?
Besides a flower, obviously.

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

Huh. [Gives the flower thing a wide radius and makes several guesses]

Replies to earlier:

Star said she was going someplace and doing something and I forget what she said she was doing this weekend, but it was something.

Lucy doesn't like roleplay. :-/

[hugs Mara and Ieni]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*pokes the flower* Wonder why it's breathing...

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

I'm going to guess that someone or something living is trapped inside. Like how Alexis was "one with the tree," someone is "one with the flower."

Or it's a bomb.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Your negative thinking appalls me

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

Sorry. [Shrugs] And fair enough, it's unlikely to be a bomb.

If you want to make your own guesses, go ahead.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*lifts it up, inspecting it closer* It sure is pretty, though...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*tosses another of the same type of breathing flower, this one indigo*

What did you say their names were? Victoria and Antonio? You really should give Fabienne more credit. And before you ask, the tree doesn't breathe.

Maegan Harty said...

Hey!

*looks at object*
What is that

Noelle said...

*takes a shaky breath*
Oh... Okay

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

[Glares at Alice]

Does Alexis have air, then? Is she even alive? Is she going to die when you do?

What about those two?

(Hi Maegan!)

#ChaseForBook9

Maegan Harty said...

I'm just going to ask can someone like tell me whats happening now just a tiny recap

Noelle said...

(We trapped Alastair and questioned him then the room began to collapse and our hits and magic rebounded and began to hit us, then Alastair almost died and then I brought him to a hospital and I have no clue now)

Maegan Harty said...

Thanks i was kinda lost

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

Erm...well...

So we (mostly Adra) made this trap for Alastair. (Side note, he's taken Zaf's daughter's consciousness), and it didn't really work because he broke the sigil spell. So I tried to fix the spell with a needle I bought from the magical version of EBay, only instead of reactivating the spell, it made all magic in the room rebound and generally attack whoever cast it. And then Alastair accidentally attacked himself with a really really lot of energy and now he's dying, and we broke the spell and got out of there.

Maegan Harty said...

Thanks fabi

Noelle said...

*picks up the other flower in her other hand* I'm sorry...

Maegan Harty said...

*looks at flower*

The circle of life has no mercy

Noelle said...

The circle of life is a circle, and all energy and life can be transferred into another living object.

Noelle said...

Meaning that I believe that their energy will be reborn in a different form.

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

[Takes a deep breath and looks away]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

What's wrong, Fabi?

Maegan Harty said...

*pats fabi's shoulder*

Maegan Harty said...

*looks around*

Maegan Harty said...

OOooooooooooooooo yeah! Twice in one week!

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

I'm fine. Just thinking.

(I might have to go soon. Please don't be offended if I disappear. I basically will as soon as the others wake up.)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Penny for your thoughts, Fabi?

Maegan Harty said...

I dedicate this page to..................

The person who invented the trampoline. Because they are so fun, and i don't own one so it is really depressing

Maegan Harty said...

I have to go i might be on later

Noelle said...

(K!)

[Shrugs]

My thoughts go all over the place. I was trying to look from Alice's perspective and it didn't work so well.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

The tree doesn't breathe because the Alexis' body doesn't have much life left in it. That's only because I have her consciousness and her body is only capable of basic involuntary functions without it. But yes, her consciousness will die when I do. Which, in all honesty, is part of why I was willing to attempt to break down the walls with energy. If it had killed me on the spot, the little girl would have died, too.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I have weird music tastes for someone who reads books about dying people and violence .-.

Avril Lavigne is my new favourite singer... even though she isn't the best singer, her songs are... relatable. 1D and LM are still my favourites, though. Nobody could surpass them. And Ed Sheeran is high up that chart too. Becky G and Cher Lloyd are behind Avril Lavigne... and why am I even talking about this ._.

Sorry... Ignore me.
