Can't Think Of A Title For This Post

It's getting harder and harder to find the time to watch movies these days, so you'd think my criteria for the films I DO get to watch would improve, right? Like, I should probably make the decision to ONLY watch movies that have a chance of being actually good, and to stay away from films I've heard are terrible. Right? Right.

But where's the fun in that?

Besides, adopting such a sensible attitude to movie-watching would have robbed me of the delight of realising that two films I expected to be absolute rubbish turned out to be surprisingly good fun. Let's take the first one— a sequel to one of the worst films I've seen in the last few years.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was an awful film. I mean, it was just dreadful. It was so bad that I felt compelled to talk about it on this very Blog, way back in 2009. Here is what I said about it:

"I now hate this movie, for it is awful. It is worse than X-Men 3. It is even worse than Transformers 2. I have not hated a film so much since I saw Van Helsing. Van Helsing was directed by the same man. There are lessons in life I should learn, and yet learn them I do not."

Ah, good times. This was back when I was writing Dark Days. What a fantastic book that was.

Sorry, where was I? Oh yes.

The first GI Joe was horrible. It had a stupid story and stupid action and stupid characters and everything was stupid. It had the worst CGI I'd seen in a long time and they'd taken a monumentally dumb approach to the whole thing. They gave the Joes super robot suits, for god's sake.

So naturally, knowing how much I hated the first one, I went ahead and watched the sequel. And maybe it's because I expected it to be every bit as bad— but it was actually pretty cool.

The story was still dumb. COBRA'S ultimate plan was just daft. But there were so many cool bits in it. The ninjas on the mountain. Adrianne Palicki jogging. Cobra Commander's AWESOME outfit. Adrianne Palicki in the red dress. Bruce Willis and his house of guns. Adrianne Palicki doing stuff.

And the two best scenes were between the Rock and Channing Tatum. The video game and the sharpshooting. Funny writing, funny performances- if every scene was as good as these two, it would have been an amazing movie. As it was, it was fun, action-packed, quite stupid, but there is NOTHING about it you'd hate after watching it.

Oh, but there is ONE moment I should mention. To show how high tech the Joes are, they're given all these cool gadgets at the start. One of these gadgets is a pair of gloves that MELTS THROUGH a chainlink fence. Melts THROUGH it! How awesome is that?? No more waiting around for the extra few seconds while they cut through the fence with stupid, old-fashioned fence cutters! No way! Now they save VITAL SECONDS by using these gloves! And the best thing? THEY GLOW BRIGHT ORANGE! So instead of dumb soldiers cutting through a fence with stupid fence cutters in the dark, being all sneaky and stuff, now the Joes can cut through the fence and alert any enemy within a five mile radius to their presence at the same time! Yippee!

(But apart from this moment of dumbness, it's not a bad movie. I swear.)

And the other film I thought would be awful was Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

I heard this was diabolical. It's not. There are parts of this that are SO COOL. The witches are the best witches ever in the world EVER. They're evil and hideous but no two are alike. The make-up is brilliant. Famke Janssen is the head witch, and it takes guts to turn one of the most beautiful women in the world into a hideous monster, but they do it, and she's utterly brilliant.

It's a lovely idea at its core— what would Hansel and Gretel be like when they grew up?— and while it's set in a vague time, hundreds of years ago, the language and the music are modern day, which adds to the anarchic quality of it all.  That said, the American accents sported by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are a tad distracting, especially seeing as how everyone else has a thick European accent. But come on... Renner's cool and Gemma Arterton is Gemma Arterton. Mmmm Gemma Arterton...

Word of warning, though. This looks like a family film, like a slightly dark fairytale, but it's not. It revels in bad language and gore. There are exploding heads a-plenty. So naturally I loved it.


I don't know if I'd ever watch either of these movies for a second time, but they were pretty damn good the first time out. Which was a really nice surprise.

Haney = Harry/Jane

[Keeps calm and ships them all, but I think Harralie is the best name. :-)]

Right. *looks around* You'll have to come here, though..

Edward Fletcher said...

OH, LOL.

Fabi, you know how you're magnetically attracted to first comment?

*points at how her name is in the first comment*

Hey Dalek. :)

Hello, Dalek. *walks over to Adra*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*shrugs* Whichever you please to call them... *touches the floor*

Star Inkbright said...

Marcelie is the best name. :)

(I just love the name Marcel. XD

And the name Maralie is amazayn. :)

)

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

I... I do not choose what I call them. *looks at the ground*

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marry isn't the qualified ship name though! XD
Harralie is... :3

So Harralie or Marcelie.. Hm.
Keep in mind Harry is the freakin' hot singing one. Marcel is the nerdy I-like-calculators one.
Just saying. :P

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*a large rock shoots from the ground, knocking Niccolo backwards into a tree, holding him there*

Listen up, Croatoan. As much as you think you deserve the worst of life, you don't. I think you deserve redemption, but never death or suffering. The fact that you feel guilty tells me that you probably didn't want anything to happen to you, lover girl, or anyone else.
And that tells me balance. I think one day you'll forgive yourself, because that should be your goal- good.
Oh.
And if you ever try to get someone to kill you, with the intention of letting them, I will chain you to the inside of a children's daycare, okay?
*sips her tea*
Besides, you wouldn't want to hurt Aretha, right? Live for her, at least. And don't deny yourself and say that it's the best option. Because I will hit you again.

Star Inkbright said...

. . . Harralie. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*glances at Trip* You've lost me.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

SHALL I BRING HARRY AND MARCEL HERE FOR A CUP OF TEA AND COFFEE? C:

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*smiles warily* If you can convince me that balance exists in this world, Adra, I shall be very impressed.
Have you finished now?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hey Zaf.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*glares at Trip* Who are you calling ignorant?

And *huggles Star* Okay <3

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Hello, Zafira. Thank your cousin, for me, will you?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*waves to Zaf*

No. One last thing, Croatoan- think back about what I said about the Mirror or Erised. Because I did tell you what I saw, you just didn't see it. *rolls eyes* Some Ravenclaw you are.

And I'll say this again- balance doesn't always show itself to your face. Humans rarely take the time to notice all the good around them.

Noelle said...

*pokes Ieni and Dalek* You two still here?

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

*gets up* I have something to say. You need to just ask Aretha out on a date. You have lived the past 500 years in a complete state of stasis. You need to start doing something with your life! Trust me, she feels the same way.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marcel: And if you look at this graph, you'll see... *trails off* Oh. *looks down at calculator* Digits, I don't think we're at work anymore.

Nephew. And he says you're welcome *goes over to* I should warn you Alexis plans to surprise attack you, she thinks because I sparred with you she can too and I will say you can

Edward Fletcher said...

* ow* yes im here

#chaseforbook9

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

Oh...right...I think I should go...i suddenly have a slight feeling of....awkwardness

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

You will never be happy without her Croatoan. And even if she says no, you'll have some form of closure.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*laughs* OMG Mara...

And *nods* Yeah, you ought to, Niccolo.

Noelle said...

*frowns* What's up, Zaf?

OH.

I thought... I thought you said you were over him?

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

When did I say that? No. I'm NOT over. *goes up into tree*

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

Sorry Zaf. I just have to say this. I see it as what's best for him. You, you can find someone else. He can't.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

That's discriminative, Adra. PEOPLE often don't take the time to notice the good around them. :)

Wow. It's really freaky, beacuse I know you guys less well as myself than I do as Hunter. :O

#ChaseForBookNine

#CHaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*shrugs* The way you were acting last night, I thought you were on the same page. Not to mention that you nearly shivved him for, well. Javier.

Okay.

Noelle said...

I was using humans as a loose term, Star. I didn't mean everyone... Nevermind.

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

Yeah, I honestly thought you were hung up on Javier. The way you wanted to have him tried by Americans.

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

should i change my name to Sherlock pingu, the dalek overlord of antarctica

#chaseforbook9

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

YES YOU SHOULD DALEK! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I doubt the two of you realize how utterly meaningless that would be. Keep in mind that the two of us are constantly active inside each other's minds. We are communicating even now, while I speak to the rest of you. She knows full well all of my thoughts and feelings, and I, hers. In that sense, we literally do everything together. And we mostly did that even without being linked to each other. How would running off to do some activity and giving it a different name do anything at all?
Do forgive me if I completely misunderstand the concept of dating, and am missing the point entirely.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*whispers to Trip* Niccolo killed him, Trip

And whatever you want, Dalek!

Edward Fletcher said...

done

#chaseforbook9

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

I just wanted him in America. Nothing else and I realize now if he had been here I wouldn't have been able to try him we he's my husband so...yeah but I wasn't over Coco and I won't be unless some guy I like suddenly comes which sure as hell won't happen

Noelle said...

Well, Niccolo. I'm just saying- you two seem to be constantly on red alert, I think you guys should just do something that doesn't threaten your lives.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*suddenly comes*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*claps* Go Sherlock/Dalek?

And Zaf, you're not supposed to wait for a guy, you're supposed to go to bars, talk to people. Talk to people on trains, whatever.

Noelle said...

*cries* OH MY GOD THAT CAN BE TAKEN TWO WAYS

*Rolls on the floor*

*pinches bridge of nose* Because you are locked in place! At first, you were only by her side to one day steal her true name, but now. You will go no where for the duration of her entire life. Doing this, it will help. I'm not saying anything else, it just had to be said.

How did you all even get here?

Star Inkbright said...

Yeahhhhhhhhhh . . . I'm here.

I'm kind of disappointed Javier died. Me and Ez were going to break into wherever he was and steal him.

*shakes her head sadly* She needs to make up her mind... Is she angry, sad, in love, or happy? I can't tell, it's like she keeps changing what she believes... *sighs*


And.. I don't even want to know, Hunter.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dalek: We scrapped the system. :)

@Zafira: Sometimes, things need to be done, and mental health be damned.

If this isn't one of those times, then um, leave.

#ChaseForBookNine

gotta go for a bit. bye

*waves to Marc, Mara and Harry* Hey, guys! I have hot chocolate, tea and coffee!

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

Don't worry Marcel, I'll protect you from the evil female monsters. Here, have a weapon. *hands a spoon* That seems like it would fit your level of ability!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*throws a rock at Hunter* Rude.

Alexis said...

Mommy loves Niccolo but she's upset because she knows she can't have him

And if snybody wants her she went to the American Sanctuary

Also hi Harry.

*slowly turns to Trip* What did you just say?

Hey, Marcel, Harry, Mara. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Something that doesn't threaten our lives? That seems a rather absurd concept. *smiles* Perhaps that is, in fact, a valid point. However... *sighs* *glances briefly in Zafira's direction* Perhaps I ought to leave...

Ha! As if I'd ever go to the American sanctuary! Apart from all those times I did...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*shakes her head to Niccolo* Right. No.

*beckons Alexis over, inviting her to sit on her lap*

*laughs* And you can have some tea, Harry. Why don't you three have a seat

Alexis said...

*uses air to launch self at Niccolo* don't gooo!

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: . . . Actually, that was me being helpful and nice . . .

I don't want her to develope a mental disorder, beacuse they utterly suck.

Trying to help her out, here.

And judging by what's happening in her life atm . . . *shrugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*turns to Trip again* Now. About those "evil female monsters" *glares*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: *screams* *teleports away*

Or disease
Spoonily spoonily
Lock your doors
Check your drawers
They're terrible, horrible spoons
Look at the spoon
You look like a clown!
It's all fun and games
But turn it around
And now your face
Is upside down!
It's truly the devil's work (Mwahahaha)
They never slice or chop or spear
Or whisk or dice or pierce or smear
No all they ever do, I fear
Is spoon, spoon, spoon
Spoon!
They're terrible, horrible spoons
They're big
They're small
They scoop
They flick
They're silver
They're wood
They're a bowl on a stick!
They hold solids and liquids
There's nothing that stops them!
They're convex on one side
Concave on the opp'site!

@Adra: . . . No, I'm a lightbulb with all the wires inside it screwed up so it doesn't work right.

*nods*

[I LOVE STRANGENESS. And I'm sure I'll love your ded, beacuse I generally do love them. :)
So I'm extraly looking forward to it now. :)
I'm finding a lyrics vid for the acoustic version of Say Goodnight by BFMV, and the electric guitar version is I think SOFTER. :O
WHAT.
(The song is kind of too soft for me full stop, but anyway).]

*feels a cough rising in her throat*

Excuse me for a second... *curtsies to everyone then dashes off into the woods, taking her backpack*

Noelle said...

Oh my God, Mara what is that. *cowers* That's horrifying.

*hugs Hope* Okay, dear *hands them a skulcake*

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

Hey Hope.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Hello, Losing! :)

Nice to meet you.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*crawls under a tock*
Spoons...

Marcel: *hides in bar*

Harry: *sighs* *follows Mara*

I SHOULD SING ONE DIRECTION FOR THE CRAIC

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hello Losing Hope! *hugs*
I'm Maralie, but you can call me Mara! I'm a full time Directioner, Mixer, Skuttlebug and fangirl! Nice to meet you! *hugs*

Noelle said...

*begins coughing, sliding down a tree, to the point where she can't breathe and her eyes have begun to water*
*falls down, struggling to regain her breath*

I'm so bloody done with this shite...

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at bar counter* OH MY GOD THERE'S A SPOON.

*yells, chucks it on the floor and stamps on it* *frowns as it doesn't break*

THEY'RE RESISTANT AND PERSISTANT!!!! O_O

Hi Hope [hugs]

Ah. There appears to be another fifteen seconds left in the music. Time to tack on some vacation photos, methinks. THEN IT'LL BE DONE

#ChaseForBook9

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

*doesn't know Adra is in trouble*

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*appears beside Adra* This cannot be normal. What can I do for you?

#ChaseForBook9

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

See you later, Hope.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marcel: I'll h-have some w-water please, M-Mr Castalan.

Mara: AND WE DANCED ALL NIGHT TO THE BEST SONG EVER

Harry: *sighs* *shrugs* *sings along*

Mara: *pauses* *looks up* You got a sexy voice, Harry. *starts singing*

Harry: I'd expect so...

#ChaseForBook9

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

I should really ban you Hunter.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

. . . You sure you don't want me to get Ez to look at you, Adra?

I would try and help, but I really don't think you trust me.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Is there... Anything you can do lessen it? I'd rather not cough up a pint of blood every twenty minutes...

And this is because of the fight today... It really took a lot... Out of me.

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

Don't worry Marcel, we're away from all the girls now, you're safe. *gets him water* How do you know my name anyway?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*glares at Hunter* That's because I don't... I was doing fine before... You tried to kill me again..
I don't trust her.. Either

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Hm... If you have any internal bleeding, I can stop it. Do you know what exactly is making you cough?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Please take a seat *gestures to chair, sits down in the opposition one*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

My voice is sexier, no offense.

*sighs*

And, um. *waves phone* I sort of bugged most of Blogland.

YOU ALL CANNOT HIDE FROM ME.

*sits down opposite Adra*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*shakes her head* I don't... Well, tuberculosis was in the lungs... If there was some way to temporarily stop the bacteria... But like I said, there's no way I can permanently remove it, without getting some of myself as well...

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

Heh, as if you could hide those bugs in my bar without me finding them Hunter. I got them, I got them all!

Well, in my bar anyway.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: But Ez is awesome. *frowns*

Do you want me to get anyone else from the future, Adra?

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*frowns at Hunter* No.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marcel: *looks up at Trip* *says in deep and scary voice* I know all.
*smiles* *takes drink*

Mara: *stares at Hunter* UH NO
ARE YOU A WORLD FAMOUS SINGER
UH NO

Harry: *raises eyebrow at Hunter*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Trip: That's why I didn't bug your bar.

*sighs* I could redirect energy onto the bacteria . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Oh really. Do you know how to do this? *clicks fingers and a slither of energy appears, it takes the form of a dragon and flies around d. Grins*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*looks at Hunter* It's a lot more complicated than that. So much that I don't even know the whole story.

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

Then where did those bugs come from? *mind turns to Jubi*

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

That is so cool! Oh! *shows knife* look!

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

Bugs are metal, y'know.
[Grins]

[Metal bunny hops by]

Enjoy the few you've got left while they last.

And if you placed any plastic ones, well, I'll find them anyway.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marcel: *pushes glasses up nose* No. But I can calculate anything for you in less than two seconds. *whips out calculator*
#NerdAndProud

Mara: WHILE WE'RE MAKING ALL THE SAME MISTAKESSSSS

Harry: *drags Mara out from under the rock*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: Me trying to be a singer would never work out.

Because everyone would either buy my songs beacuse I'm me, or avoid my sngs beacuse I'm me.
Few people wouldn't judge me on the fact that I'm me.
Which is why I've never tried.
But my daughter's in a band . . .

@Adra: Even if I got some random civilian?

I'd have to kill them after they looked at you, though.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*glares* Definitely not. And I can't be sure my immune system would take their medicine..

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

I could destroy you in that time. Ooh! How about this! 29999999999999999999999999999999999999999999+3333333344446384664864847474847. I'd like to see you type that in two seconds.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: SORRY I INSULTED YOU HUNTER
NOBODY TOPS MY HAZZABEAR
HE'S BEAU-TI-FUL
*snaps fingers in Z formation*

Harry: Sorry... She's a bit hyped up on Lucozade...

(I did one of the hardest things of my life just there... I said bye to Luci... )

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(*hugs Mara*)

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

Each time I take you back
You bring one thousand cracks
And I accept them, like a fool

[Metal bunny cracks into two pieces and stops moving]

[Fabi hides behind a bush]

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Star: THAT ROCK BETTER NOT BE EVE. :P

Is this going to be a bug war, person who I've never met? *raises eyebrow*

@Adra: . . . You know, to get from human to me, I had to alter my DNA.

DNA can be altered.

It probably would go very wrong if I tried to alter yours and fix you, though, because yours is a situation I've not seen before.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

[hugs Mara]

[Deep breath]

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Marcel: Such a feat is impossible for my beautiful Digits. Do you know the answer to that, Mr. Castalan?

Mara: CAUSE NO-ONE EVER LOOKED SO GOOD IN A DRESS

Harry: Mara, please... *groans*

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

Uh guys Momma coming back from the Sanctuary

Star Inkbright said...

Star: . . . *hugs Maraness* :(

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Yeah, you and me both, Hunter.

*glances at Niccolo, who has gone eerily quiet*

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

*hangs from explosive tree still pretty upset and comfused*

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I have little faith in medicine, partially because it fails on me, so no, maybe that's a bad idea.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

So now what's your excuse
What do we have to lose
Since I'm already losing you

Mara: *hugs Hunter* DNA :)

#ChaseForBook9

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

I do not. I was just proving you wrong. I enjoy it.

Anyway. Why do you fear girls?

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*shrugs* I merely have nothing to add to the current conversation.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: AWWWW, WE HAVE SIMILARITIES. :)

Well, /a/ similarity.

Whatever. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*facepalms*
That sounded dramatic.
Luci's gone to Florida. For two weeks. 20 days. Something like that. But... I'll miss her. A lot. :/
I mean...
She just apologised to me for leaving.
I love her so much, it isn't even possible.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hunter, I'm going to shoot you...

*frowns* Can someone, um... Maybe... Help me up?

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: D-D-D-DNA. Yes. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Of course. *offers hand to Adra*

#ChaseForBook9

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

*waves from tree* hello Niccolo *falls out of tree* hello that hurt

Maralie Lily Charm said...

FIRST?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

FIRST?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*takes his hand* Thanks. *gets to her feet*

Well that was exciting... *looks to Hunter* Please try not to kill me for the next few days?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

FIRST?
