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...

Heya Malicha!

Avril actually sings pretty well compared to some other pop stars...

Noelle said...

So then why'd you kill Victoria and Antonio? Out of curiosity.

If you even call it killing

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

[hugs Mara] Avril Lavigne is pretty good. :-)

Ember, I just posted an MC chapter. It doesn't really go anyplace, and you're not in it. I don't know why I'm pointing it out. Also hi.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I like Cher Lloyd now too. Thanks to you telling me I should go listen to some of her other songs.

I'm on my phone now, so weird typing things may happen. Don't you just love my long name?? I'll never have to introduce myself properly ever again. Because IT'S IN MY NAME.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Okay, looking at it now.

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

I see. [Glares at Alice]

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I didn't kill them- just trapped them. Mostly because I felt like it. What else is there to do when you're bored?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I'm laughing hysterically now, and these guys are thinking I'm strange

MAEVE AND BLISS TRYING TO ROLL IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS that is just classic. How did Maeve get into the potato?? Did I miss something?

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

You could watch television.

Your name is cool, Ember.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Al: Write fanfiction. Nuff said.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Thank you Fabi :) Your umbrellas make me happy.

Noelle said...

What about their bodies? Where are they?

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

She disappeared off the map, and the potato was the only natural place for her to go. [Shrugs] I didn't really write that part in much detail. XD

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

And technically EmberTC's name begins with S, same as Star, but seriously the whole thing with the potato had me in stitches!!!

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Bliss's body was destroyed by the Faceless ones, and anyway it doesn't matter where their bodies are because their souls are being transported, not their bodies.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Wait, just a thought, if Bliss died again, would he be in heaven as Bliss or as a potato?

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

Ember introduced herself as Ember, remEMBER? That's what Star would most likely of her as. Also, E is evil. [nods]

[Bows] Glad to amuse.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Their bodies essentially are the flowers. If you were a sensitive you could hear them thinking.

Noelle said...

(Hah Silver, I was talking to Alastair :P)

Noelle said...

*places the flowers on the ground* Well I hope you're amused.

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

I don't know! XD

And yeah, Maeve slipped through the loophole in reality, but she ended up in Effie's house, and her body is in America, so...yeah.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Adra: DUH ME BRAINFARTY.

Favis: RemEMBER. I like that XD

Al: Wait huh what I should really read Ari's MC chapter sometime shouldn't I

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*smiles* I am, thank you.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I am so happy that Maeve and Bliss are in a potato together
I have a ship now!
Miss! Or Blaeve!

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

(I should probably be talking in parentheses, shouldn't I?)

Alice, besides being evil and mean and I-absolutely-hate-you-did-you-know-that?, you're also weird.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

What is this guy doing exactly?

Noelle said...

Anyone else you've wreaked havoc on lately that I ought to take note of?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(And why are you talking in parentheses?)

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

(Alice is the first name Niccolo Croatoan stole. Coco is now trapped 127 years in the past. Alice is in control of the body, but there was this trap and he broke it and I tried to fix it with this needle I got off the magical version of EBay, but it made all the spells rebound and Alice accidentally himself with a lot of energy and now he's dying and so is Alexis because her consciousness is trapped in his head, and I'm not explaining it very well)

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

And that's why-y-y
I smile
It's been a while
Since every day
And everything
Has felt this right
And now
You turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why
I-I-I
I smi-i-i-le

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Parentheses mean it's not part of the roleplay.)

(Lol, Miss! XD)

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(Kay, so this guy trapped Alexis... Wait, who's Alexis? Did someone PUT coco in the past or is he there by himself?)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Hmmm... Well, I've murdered a few CIA agents- they're blaming the explosion on a gas leak- and the Queen of England is now only capable of speaking in the language of the Eveny nomads.

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

(Hi Mara, if you're here. [hugs])

(Alexis is Zaf's (fictional) daughter. And Coco went back to save Ian Heartbreak)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

How kind of you, I'm sure. I don't suppose I have any hope of reversing my friends, do I?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

(Alexis is Zafira's daughter. Niccolò went into the past so he could resurrect Ian Heartbreak, but he completely over exhausted himself and manipulating time is rather complicated, so he ended up stuck.)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

What the hell why the Queen? Are you crazy? What's your power, anyway? Teleporting?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(That's super cool :D)

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

Not just weird. Bizarre. Okay, so the Queen speaking a weird language might be mildly funny, but still. Adra, remind me why you didn't kill this guy when you had the chance?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*looks at Silver* He has 48 true names inside his head. What can't he do.

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

(Alice has all the disciplines Niccolo stole. He can't steal any more true names, though)

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

What can't he do? That's an easy one: BE NORMAL.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(So when he takes their true name, he gets their power? And how does he get their true names?)

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

(Remember how Niccolo could sort of eat people's true names and take their powers, killing them, like he did with Ren? Well, Alice has the powers he took. Teleportation, shapeshifting, symbol magic... He doesn't have Niccolo's discipline of name-stealing, though.)

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

(yeah, I'm here. Msd though. Idek if I should roleplay or not. *hugs Fabi*)

(I think Smile by Avril Lavigne (well, the chorus) explains my feelings for Blogland/ians. You're the reason why I smile, before Blogland, everyday and everything never felt so right, but you came and turned it all around, and Blogland (and1DandLMandSPandGone*coughs*) is the only thing I need to smile...)

(sorry.)

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I highly doubt you'll be able to find someone else who can separate them from the flowers.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(Oh yeeeeeeeaaaaah
Malicha you totally should!!)

Noelle said...

And I don't suppose you'd do it, either... Hoe long will they have?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I don't know if I technically could take whoever the people stuck in the flowers out out and give them a new host body or whatever... Maybe...

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Wait, no, if their consciousness is in HIM then I would need to suck them out of HIS body..... Maybe I could do that....

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

(It's up to you, Mara. I'll still talk to you if you don't want to, though.)

(What are you sorry for? You're Perriefect, Mara.)

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(I need to go for like three minutes. Will probably be back soon)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Ok back now

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

(Wb. I'm probably going to disappear soon or start to babble what will sound like nonsense)

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I didn't steal the consciousness of the two I put in the flowers.

Noelle said...

Alastair, how long do they have?

Star Inkbright said...

When Alastair dies, I will probably cry. *starts analysing self*

HEY, BTW!!! :)

Well, if you want to know how my walking and camping and walking went - my feet got set on fire (not literally) and refused to stop burning (I forgot my insoles), I lose my compass, I did every single bit of mapreading coz I could do it easily and I wanted to, and it's been about 30 degrees, and we walked like 16km yesterday and 10km today, and there was this girl in our group who is selfish to extreme levels and made things difficult all the time, and now my back hurts and my shoulders hurt and I have insect bites all over me, and yeah.
And my friend was feeling sick and we had to keep waiting for her, and today when we were halfway through she sat down (we were having a five-minute break) and started crying, and my other friend took her rucksack and carried both that and her own, and we were all O_O because OUR BAGS ARE SO FUCKING HEAVY AND WE WERE DYING UNDER ALL THAT WEIGHT (the hard bit wasn't the walking, the walking was easy. It was walking WITH THE BAGS) AND SHE WAS CARRYING /2/ OF THEM AND LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. And then when we next had a break my friend wo was feeling ill refused to move unless she got given her bag back because it wasn't fair, and my friend was just like no, I'm not giving you your bag back you can have it after lunch. And they were arguing for ten minutes before they compromised and my friend only carried it for a bit. And she kept carrying it at intervals. And then when we were bag-swapping and lying on the ground feeling exhausted (my feet were murdering me, but it was worse on the first day. My bones were getting all disaligned. D: On the second day I put tissue paper it them, but they still hurt from walking a long way so um yeah), and the two girls who aren't especially my friend walked on ahead, and we were like, let them go, they won't get far, and plus they won't know which way to go because of course I was the only one mapreading and they didn't even have a map, haha. But then we got quite worried because we didn't see them for ages, and then we almost caught up with them where they'd waited at a junction not knowing which way to go, but then they gave up and guesstimated and we were so fucking angry because they didn't have a clue where they were going, it was hardly like they'd offered to carry my friend who was feeling ill's bag, and they'd gone THE WRONG WAY. So we stopped, took the five-story houses off our backs (metaphor), and my friend ran after them. And then they came back and were going "We waited for half an hour, we NEED to get back, it isn't our fault" and I was just like, "Well have you tried carrying two bags?!?" (admittedly, I hadn't tried it, but my awesome friend who carried two bags a lot of the way went up in my estime for that and I didn't really think that was possible. My other friend also went up in my estime incidentally, simply because she's so NICE, and yeah. They're awesome. <3).
TBC

Star Inkbright said...

And then one of the girls who'd gone ahead (the one who was being a pain att) said "We need to stop so I can put my bandage on!" (Her bandage on her wrist, because it had slashes all over it, because she'd been cutting herself) and we were like no no no no no, we CAN'T stop! And then she and her friend met up with their friend who wasn't doing the camping walking walkign thing, and they had a joyous reunion, and me and my friend just stood there in the road feeling so annoyed because we were really, really close to getting back and she could have fucking put her bandage on when she'd had to wait for ten minutes for us. And I just started crying and then my other friend was crying and we just sat there on the grass verge crying and feeling angry. And then they caught up with us and we staggered in, feeling totally rubbsh with our feet being reduced to charcoal.
Oh, my FEEEEEEEEEEET!
On the first day, the pain waqs so bad I picked up these twigs and when we stopped I put them in my shoe to boost my arches. They dug into my feet and hurt there, but it was different pain and it was better than what I had been going through. But then they dug in more and they really hurt (I was fucking walking on fucking pieces of wood), so I took them out, and the pain was okay for a while but then it came backkkkkkkk. D:
I was at the end just dying and dying and barely paying attention to the map coz I didn't have the energy.
It was better on the second day, when I had tissue paper in my shoe. :)

But I liked going to sleep in our tent. I had epic conversations with my friend who I was sharing a tent with, and it was nice, plus it was all comfy and I love my sleeping bag. :)
ALthough I had my jumper on my head coz it was too light. XD

And that was my weekend!

(SERIOUSLY, SO MUCH PAIN. D: DREADING SEPTEMBER, WHEN I HAVE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN. -_-)

Two years like that, and probably three if you keep them in water. Much longer than an average flower, but much shorter than an average Mage.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

(thanks, Fab. For everything *hugs*)

(not really, Fabigail... :/ if I was Perriefect then my friends would still text me after the end of primary. My mum would talk to me. Thank you, but it isn't true.)

Blogland has been so quiet today D:
Has it been like this all week?

#ChaseForBook9

Haha, that would be a no It was just mostly today and yesterday.

It was pretty exciting about four or five days ago... And since then as well

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Not really, Ieni. We used up a post in 3 days... But now it's going quiet again :/

(Everyone gets busy in the summer, Mara. :-( I haven't heard from Marian and Bob since school ended.:-/ )

(Mara, I think you're perfect, okay? You've been wonderful to me and others and really do try.)

(I wish I could say something that'd magically make everything better... I don't know, though.)

(You're welcome, Mara. [hugs back])

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yeah, that was insane.

And the video ded failed uploading. Apparently I need to update a bunch of plug-ins. Yippee.

It'll be so out of date by the time I get it up... I may just use a Dropbox link... Probably faster.

Star Inkbright said...

@Maraness: Haha, my best friend I've had for years moved schools at Easter (you know about this), and I've had zero contact with her apart from me and my friend waited for her bus once or twice . . . Four times, actually. :)
I'm in touch with my primary friends because we all went to the same school, but I have zero contact with my old friends from my old primary. We tried a few times, but it petered out.

Whether or not you are Perriefect had nothing to do with how good people are at staying in touch, and you're Perriefect and jepic. :)

@Ieni: WHY DID YOU NOT KIDNAP ME AND TAKE ME WITH YOU??????

Ahahahaha though, when I was boiling water for my hot chocolate, and the bubbles started appearing, I started yelling hello and calling them my cousins and excitedly greeting them, and my friend just told me how insane I was sitting there talking to a pot full of water. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Haha, yeah, I saw that when I got back, Adra.

Ahhh....sorry, Star, I thought I'd save you from a grouchy me on a 18 hour coach journey;)

Star Inkbright said...

IT HAS BEEN QUIET BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE.

*utterly ignores any other evidence pointing to other reasons fr it being quiet*

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

Haha, I noticed a lack of Star when I got back.
BUT YOU'RE NORMALLY LOOKING AT ALL THE COMMENTS AND GOING 'miiiiiiine'

Also, a tired Ieni cannot be held accountable for any thing she says today.

1500m in Sports Day tomorrow and I'm dead.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: I COULD HAVE FLOATED OUTSIDE THE WINDOW TRYING TO UNDERSTAND MY GERMAN COUSINS!!!!!!

@Ieni: I DO READ ALL THE COMMENTS.
SO MANY HOURS OF MY LIFE ARE WASTED ON COMMENTS. I MUST HAVE WASTED MONTHS IF YOU ADD IT ALL UP IN A CLUMP. :O

And, you are awesome. *hugs*

Like Maraness. *pokes the Maranessy crepe*

SEE MARA I TOLD YOU YOU WERE AWESOME.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

I think I have to go now... Not allowed to sleep or "sleep" later than ten and its ten-thirty.

G'bye. See you tomorrow at this point probably.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Ieni: I like doing the 1500 because I get a sense of achievement at the end.
Yes, I am aware that I am mad.

Good luck! *hugs* :) :) :)

Noelle said...

(Bye Fabi)

Star Inkbright said...

Now I've said everyone else is awesome, then if I say you're awesome it doesn't have the same effect, so I'll tell you you're awesome later at a random moment so it'll sound better, akay? :)

DISCRIMINATION!!!!

Hey, did I tellyou, at the barbeque on Friday, they had all these stalls made my year sixes (it's an anual tradition. My stall was awesome, of course, because it involved me), and one of them had two different prices written on the poster informing us about the ride - one price for people in KS1, and for for people in KS2. No price someone who's in KS3 and will offically be KS4 when school ends in two weeks, oh no. IT WAS DISCRIMINATION! *screams*

@Ieni: Yay! *hugs*
So glad they were nice. :)
Did they speak English as well as Ducth people?

Hey all!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hi Trip!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Today I'm gonna write a sad song,
I'm gonna make it really long
So that everyone can see,
That I'm very unhappy.

I wish I wasn't always wrong
I wish it wasn't always my fault
But the finger that you're pointing
Has knocked me on my knees
And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

I wonder what my mom and dad would say,
If I told them that I cry each day.
But it's hard enough to live so far away.

I wish I wasn't always cold
I wish I wasn't always alone
When the party is over,
How will I get home?
And all you need to know is

I'm so sorry it's not like me,
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

If all the rules were made to bend
And you swore you were my friend
Now I have to start all over again

Cause no one's going to take your place
And I'm scared I'll never save
All the pieces of a love we made

And I'm so sorry, it's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that I can slip and fall
And you won't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow

And I'm so sorry
It's not like me
It's maturity that I'm lacking
So don't, don't let me go
Just let me know that growing up goes slow.

He turned Victoria and Antonio into flowers

And they're to stay as such until they die.

Basically.

Hunter will save him if they both get on at the same time. :)

*rolls eyes* Arrogant fool wouldn't let me help him.

It's weird... I was actually planning on keeping him there, but who'd have thought that I'd end up wanting to help him.

Can you tell me instead? Can't be bothered looking. Really drained.

Mara, pretending to be happy won't help anyone. Tell us what's wrong.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Rhydian, we trapped Alastair in a bound room and interrogated him, and in the end he tricked us by destroying the runes and then Fabi tried to fix them, but all things that we did rebounded against us,

Alastair tried to use his own energy to keep the room standing, and it rebounded back into him.

He became Justin Blue, a different identity, and he needed medical attention so I took him to the Hospital, but he's still dying- him along with everyone else inside of him

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Mara what's wrong? *hugs* You won't depress us. We wanna help

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

US time? [Scowls]

Uh, no. Eastern, right?

WEST COAST FOR THE WIN! :-P

He's not changed, not a bit. And the rest of us haven't changed either.

[Hugs Mara] If you say so...

My mom is so thoughtful! She's letting me borrow her precious iPad to watch Doctor Who...while I clean my room. XD Not here!

Hey guys- so my Internet just failed on my computer and I won't be back on until I can get it back up!
Sorry!

We have 9 hours 15 minutes to save Alexis...

This is the perfect time for me to work on that song idea I had earlier!

#ChaseForBook9

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

All alone again,
On my own again,
How I hate to be all alone again.

No one to share my pain,
Coz I'm on my own again,
It'll never be the same again.

All alone again,
On my own again,
How I hate to be all my own again.

The halls are empty,
My blood is cold,
The tumbleweeds come to take my soul.

To turn this land,
Which I love,
into the lands of the old U.S west.

All alone again,
On my own again,
How I hate to be all alone again.

I won't be able to take the shame,
If I let the tumbleweeds win the game,
Coz I'm,

All alone again,
On my own again.

All alone agian.

On my own again.

No one to share my pain...




First draft done!

Now, guitar chords.

Star Inkbright said...

You utter morons. I can save Alice easily . . . but I don't know where his hospital is, so.

Look. The energy hit him, and so therefore his body is tearing apart because of the force. I can pull him together again and convert any remaining force.

See? :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I'm rather astonished at the response my impending death has triggered.

Star Inkbright said...

Energy conversion is remarkably useful.

:)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Alice: It's sad, a person going out of this life, never to exist again. They'd miss you and they can't quite comprehend the fact that you will simply not exist.

But anyway. Let's see if this works. What blood type are you, just in case I have to start cutting and sticking?

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

That was rather insanely convenient timing. Unfortunately, I'll only be here for precious few seconds.

Star Inkbright said...

*sighs* Well, when will you be back?

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*grins* Perhaps in an hour. Perhaps in five hours. Perhaps never. It's hard to say, since in reality I'm only Aretha's prisoner.

Star Inkbright said...

*scowls* Well, an hour I can do, but five hours I cannot, and never is just stupid.

Well, in reality, I'm a prisoner inside this insane mess that calls itself a head. *shrugs*

We can be entrapped together. :)

Star Inkbright said...

[He's not talking about my head - his. Bubbles don't have heads.]

Hello, Fabi! Have we met? :)

Hey Trip!

[Might make Hunter go soon. U haven't been Star for ages. D:

This music is just epicness, btw. <3]

I know now why I want to visit Alistair before he dies. I want to punch him. Then just sort of be there.

(Oh thanks, I'm working on the chords now, lots of gs and c9s. Also, yeah, we haven't seen Star in forever.)

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Trip: *laughs* You're such a nice person, aren't you? XD

Look, if he manages to see me before he dies - I WILL SAVE HIM.

I can DO IT.

*shakes head* You morons. :)

Noelle said...

I'm back!

Good god. I don't do this in phones, but I'm here!!!

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

Hi Trip. [Nods]

Hi Hunter. No, I don't believe so. Nice to meet you. [Shakes hand]

[Star, if you want to write an MC chapter, now is a good time. Star is currently working with Maeve and Bliss. (Sorry, I didn't write that part partucularly well) Also Fabi's dead, Liberty and confused (I don't blame her!) and Ember's working for Mevolent.]

Trippin' out
Spinnin' around
I'm underground, I fell down
Yeah, I fell down

I'm freakin' out
So where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now,
Ohhh

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it!
I, I won't cry

I found myself (myself) in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real? (Is this real?)
Is it pretend? (Is it pretend?)
I'll take (I'll take) a stand (A stand) until (Until) the end

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I'll just turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, I won't cry

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, and I won't cry

THIS SONG IS CALLED ALICE

IT'S LIKE ALASTAIR'S SONG :P

Well, one of them...

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

I LOVE THE SONGS I'VE PERFORMED TO, THEY'RE JUST PART OF ME NOW.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hi Adra, hi Mara.

#ChaseForBook9

We've considered going outside.

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

Hear that engine noise,
Pass me my curry boys,
We've got a long way to go-o,
With airships and cannons,
Let's eat some gammon,
Hunting my enemies' home!

Thank you! Thank you!

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

THE SUN IS A MYTH.

IT'S ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

MY SISTER WAS SPYING ON US, BY THE WAY. SHE JUST WENT TO HER GUITAR AND STARTED PLAYING GS AND C9S UNLESS I'M MISTAKEN.

[High-fives back] YES SHE IS. AND I SUPPOSE SO. I DIDN'T FALL OVER.

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

WHY AM I HYPER? I SHOULD TOTALLY NOT BE HYPER. WHAT IS THIS INSANITY?

Hello

I feel like I haven't been here in ages. It's actually only been a few days but it feels like longer.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hi Ais!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Bye Fabs!

Hey hey hey hey Aisling! Wazzup girl?

Star Inkbright said...

[@Mara: I NEED TO LISTEN TO THAT SONG THE LYRICS ARE SO JEPIC ASDFGHJKL.

But not now, because I think I may be going to sleep.

But haha, I can stil save Alastair because not only do I have a solution, I have a temporary solution!

WATCHIES.

]Okay, I have to leave now, but I have something to make sure Alastair won't die for a bit. *drops black box on ground.
In here is RedRays. In this form, it's powder. It's a torture substance made to torture people, but another property of it is that it freezes your body in the state it's in. So you can sit in a chair for months being torture without having to go to the toilet, yay. So it should stop his body falling apart for a bit, but then it will wear off. It will give me a bit more time to get to him. :)

However, it IS very painful. Alice is very good with pain, so I think it'll put him in absolute agony, which is remarkably impressive as usually words cannot come near to describing it. It gets easier to get used to the more you use it, so I'm pretty awesome with it.

Seeing as I'm giving it to you in powder, it would be best to dissolve it in water and drink it.

Don't try any for yourselves.

Apply when you see him.[

Hahaha, I'm so awesome.

In case you're wondering, I've had RedRays in my head for years and have mentioned them previously. I didn't just make it up nowies.

@Fabi: I have to do no homework all this week because it's Activities week, so I may write one. C: I SHALL LOOKIES.]

Frustrated?

Aisling Dubh said...

Bye Hunter

Actually I've changed my mind I'm not good. I'm really happy :D Dublin won the Leinster hurling final today (which I was at) for the first time in 51 years today. The last time they won it was in 1961. And now they're in the All Ireland semi final. So I'm very happy. I take my GAA seriously.

*removes the second today*

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

I.... wanted to see if it worked... *rolls onto back* And how painful it was.

Take the box, we're going to need to use it on alistair.

#ChaseForBook9

Aisling Dubh said...

Mara I know:( Kilkenny's day is coming though. Someday soon they'll be beaten when it really matters. And they won't make it as far. But 2010 was great. Tipp stopped the Cats getting 5 in a row.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Or this!

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

*hisses in pain*

Gtg night

I will hopefully be back tomorrow night.

I so did not get first.

[Facepalm]

#ChaseForBook9

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

*tries to get back up, falls over, screaming in pain* Take the box.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Trip, that was unintelligent of you.

Bye Ais! :-(

Nice to see you again!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*takes the box* what''d you do that for?

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

It was for science! I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't know it was going to be painful.

#ChaseForBook9

Aisling Dubh said...

Trip this sport be hurling. The best sport in the world. *nods seriously* it and Gaelic football. But I prefer hurling/camogie. Camogie is hurling when it's girls playing it. Apparently it needs a different name when girls are playing.
