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.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4990 Newer› Newest»Mara: B-but Harry... *starts to cry*
I loved you...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs her, pulling her slightly* Come on, sweets...
(Trip - I don't know... Make up something! :P)
#ChaseForBook9
([hugs] Thanks... She really wants to come back and hug you, but she doesn't know, and that's annoying her, because of course she sort of does at the same time because she's in my head and it's complicated. But yeah [hugs Mara])
#ChaseForBook9
Mara: *whimpers* What about Harry? What... What's going to happen to him?
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks around, filing through drawers, looking under things, making sure everything goes back as if it were never touched.*
#ChaseForBook9
*pulls her through the door and down the stairs to the bar* We'll figure out what's wrong with him. I don't think that's your Harry in his head...
(*hugs Fabi back* I think I understood that... Haha :P but I get you. Poor Fabi and poor you-Fabi *hugs*)
#ChaseForBook9
I ded this page to ships. Some are weird, some are cute, some only exist in our heads. Some are crack, and some are OTPs for life :) Everyone likes different pairings, so this page is dedicated to all of them. There's nothing quite like trying to come up with the most ridiculous pairing you can think of XD
But I don't just mean fictional characters. I also ded this to real-life pairings, because everyone has the right to love and be loved for who they are. <3
(GHANITH FOREVER!)
#ChaseForBook9
*Till I runs up, yaps at Trip's feet. Years roll down Trip's face* Oh god...
#ChaseForBook9
So that mightn't be... be my Harry? *chews lip uncertainly*
#ChaseForBook9
Yes. Good ded. [hugs Saph]
Nikola Tesla.
Harralie.
Tadra.
Steak.
[Laughs]
#ChaseForBook9
*raises glass* Hear hear!
*nods to Mara, walking behind the counter* Anything I can get you now, Mara?
What's going to happen to you?
#ChaseForBook9
(Yay Saph! *hugs* Brilliant ded! :D Ships are awesome :3)
#ChaseForBook9
And yes... There's the chance that he might be possessed, or that that isn't even Harry Styles, just some look-alike
*pets Tilli a bit*
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs* Years roll down Trip's face? XD
Shh, shh, Mara. *Guides her over to a seat*. It's okay. You know this isn't the real Harry. The real Harry would never do that, okay?
#ChaseForBook9
(Trip - Me? Ahm, Harry has been possessed by something that made him not-Harry? Idk haha)
No thanks, Adra... *stares at floor*
Marcel: *clears throat* Well, I best be going... Goodbye everyone. *disappears*
#ChaseForBook9
*Till I suddenly runs off, yapping as if for Trip to follow her.(?)*
#ChaseForBook9
*grabs some ice from the freezer, and wrapping it, gently pressing it against Mara's cheek* There, just hold it..
*sits down* I know S-Saph, but...
I want Harry back. *cries*
#ChaseForBook9
*Trip notices a strange ornament on the mantlepeice, then follows Tilli*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara* Come on, girl. Everything will be back to normal soon. How's your cheek? *gives Mara a skulcake*
Do you think maybe Harry is possessed by something?
#ChaseForBook9
(Trip - LOLOLOLOL you go Tilli! XD)
*holds ice up to cheek* *winces* Thanks, Adra..
#ChaseForBook9
*gives Saph* Where did you get a skulcake? I haven't baked any today...
And I'm sure we can get him back
Mara, I'm going to leave you in Adra's very capable hands. I'm going to help look for Harry, then try to read his mind and see what's wrong with him.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, I'm going to leave you in Adra's very capable hands. I'm going to help look for Harry, then try to read his mind and see what's wrong with him.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra; I got given a skulcake ages back and I never ate it.
#ChaseForBook9
*Trip bursts through the door, holding two things, one is Harry, the other is a soul catcher.*
Guys, we have a problem.
#ChaseForBook9
*facepalm*
*hugs Mara*
*hugs Saph back* I hope so...
*presses ice into cheek* Ow! Painful. I just... One punch...
Possessed?! *whimpers* Oh Golden God...
#ChaseForBook9
*slap
(NOT PUNCH HARRY ISN'T THAT NUTTY XD)
#ChaseForBook9
Trip! Harry? *Jumps in between Harry and Mara*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks up at Trip*
No... *goes pale*
Harry...
#ChaseForBook9
Saph, go and get Harry from upstairs.
#ChaseForBook9
*holds Mara tighter, making sure she won't try to go to Harry*
Mara, breathe...
*eyes widen, and she lets go* Oh, gods..
*whispers* No, no, no, no, no...
*starts hyperventilating* Oh my Golden God, no...
#ChaseForBook9
*Reads Harry's mind* Holy Faceless Ones...
Well done, Trip. He's definitely possessed.
#ChaseForBook9
*screams* Harry! *teleports over*
#ChaseForBook9
Actually Saph, I'll have to explain, it's more complex than that.
#ChaseForBook9
*sneezes* What's going on?
*Runs over to Trip and Harry* Trip, I don't know if I can get this out. I've never tried getting rid of a Remnant before.
#ChaseForBook9
Everyone stay calm. Someone get upstairs Harry, keep him bound.
*cuffs Harry to a seat*
#ChaseForBook9
*starts to feel dizzy*
Harry...
*collapses*
#ChaseForBook9
I can explain,but I'm going g to need your undivided attention.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara! *goes over to Mara, puts her on a seat*
#ChaseForBook9
*goes and cuffs the upstairs Harry, dragging him back down the staircase*
Mara! *Pulls her away from Harry*
Maralie Charm, listen to me. You can get your Harry back. We can fix this. But that *gestures to Harry* is not your Harry. Just listen to Trip. It's alright Mara *hugs gently* don't worry.
#ChaseForBook9
*cuffs upstairs Harry on the chair next to 1D house Harry* Okay, now I can. Explain.
#ChaseForBook9
*kneels down next to Mara, taking her hand, squeezing it, feeling a bit pale herself*
*murmurs* Is he... going to be okay?
#ChaseForBook9
Okay, Trip. We're all listening.
#ChaseForBook9
Of course, Mara. WE won't let anything happen to him
One of these Harries is a clone. The other,is possessed by a remnant. When I went to the house, Till I led me to this Harry, *gestures to 1D house Harry* and I found a soul catcher on the mantle piece. I put two and two together, and that revealed a sequence of numbers that led to one billion. You see, I tried to check if this one was possessed by looking at his soul, but. *shows the forearms of both Harries, they have sigils on them*
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at the upstairs Harry* He's clearly the possessed one, right?
*Frowns* Whoever made the clone did a good job. They even have identical memories up until yesterday.
How the hell did they get his memories?!
#ChaseForBook9
These sigils make soul catchers ineffective against remnants inside this host. It also makes their soul invisible, their mind an impenetrable fortress and gives them the ability to cut bagels.
So, the riddle now is, which is the real Harry? One is a clone and is acting like he is Harry, bar a very aggressive one, and the other /is/ Harry, but possessed by a remnant, and therefore being controlled to do it's will. So here lies our predicament. Which Harry is the real one?
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* They'd need to be woken up first...
I'm guessing they synced their memories, so they both know what has happened.
#ChaseForBook9
Which Harry... is my Harry? *stares at the two Harrys*
#ChaseForBook9
*Growls* They've set up a sort of outside layer on their minds so that when I look, they seem like a normal (but aggro) Harry. It's hiding the rest of their minds.
Gtg, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
(Bye Saph! *hugs*)
#ChaseForBook9
BACK!!
was at band and we're playing under the ea and 3 other disney songs!!
Bye Saph!
#ChaseForBook9
phew, i dont have to deal with a hostile penguin lord...
Hey Snow!
#ChaseForBook9
hey trip!
did i miss much?
Not yet, but civil war is coming...
#ChaseForBook9
*bye saph! Hey SNOW!*
*sits down in a chair*
*Reappears briefly* Remenants enhance strength. If you test their strength, the stronger one is the one with the Remenant. *Disappears again*
#ChaseForBook9
Between the penguins, I mean.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Snow [hugs]
Not really here, writing.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes, but they could try and punch weaker. It's worth a shot though.
#ChaseForBook9
wait... whats going on??
Remenants??
*teleports*
#ChaseForBook9
Um, well. We all went to the bar, Mara was tired so she used the bed upstairs, and Harry picked a fight with us. Mara got very annoyed with him, they had a fight, and then he SLAPPED her. So Trip punched him and knocked him out, then went to investigate the 1D house. The rest is right there.
#ChaseForBook9
*curses* Mara!
Mara?
#ChaseForBook9
*evil grin*
if you are at 1D's house, can we poison their food????????
*snaps her head up* SNOW! Don't say that!
Snow, One Direction saved my life.
Would you like to repeat what you just said?
#ChaseForBook9
We aren't at 1D's house no. And no.
#ChaseForBook9
[Threatens to poison Snow]
[Isn't here]
#ChaseForBook9
*runs into room in 1DHouse* *yanks out book from shelf*
*reads* *starts silently crying*
#ChaseForBook9
(The one day... The one f**king day when I could be happy being a Directioner... *mutters*)
#ChaseForBook9
*bites her lip* I need... I need to find Mara. *stands up, feels light headed*
*sits back down*
Apparently not...
(sorry, but i just cannot stand 0D....)
*shrugs*
*hugs Mara*
Whatever Mara's doing, I think she knows what she's doing.
#ChaseForBook9
(Can you keep your opinions to yourself please, Snow? Thank you. And it's 1D, not OD.)
(Happy f**king 1Day.)
*sighs* *puts book back* *lies on bed*
#ChaseForBook9
i am just gonna shut up now, because, y'know... i dont want to die bye marra's hand.
*by
*sighs, leaning back on the couch, waiting for the two Harry's to wake up*
g2g, bye
*Mara's
#ChaseForBook9
..Bye snow *hugs*
*frowns, getting up* She isn't back yet.
So, how do we tell the difference?
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* I...
*laughs* We could ask them to sing? I don't know.
*crawls over to Harry's side of the bed*
*cries*
#ChaseForBook9
hhilloooo
*slowly gets to her feet, dragging her chair up to the two, nudging their shins* Oi.. Wake up.
Hey Jubi
*appears in bar* Clones cannot have true names, for one thing.
Hello, Jubilance.
#ChaseForBook9
ADRA!!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
HIYA COCCO!! *supermegaunevadabletacklehugsofdoom*
"You don't have the umbrella." Fabi opened her eyes to see the library, just as she'd left it. She'd landed on the floor in a heap, how glamorous.
"No, I don't," she told Spectrum, another regular patron of the library, who would rather not be described in any detail.
"Good." Spectrum smiled. "As much as you'll miss it, as much as you want to hold onto the power, it's not a part of you."
"Yeah, I sort of realized that."
"I won't keep you, then." Spectrum turned to go, but Fabi called out:
"Wait. Could you look at this?" She pulled out a small electronic device from her caddy of scrap metal and held it up. "I found it," she explained, "and it's not powered by the battery, or anything else I can see."
Spectrum showed no reaction, only that of mild concentration as she studied it. "No," she finally said, letting a hint of worry slip into her voice. "It's feeding off someone's life force, maybe even someone's death. Where did you find it?"
Fabi remained silent. Although Spectrum had always been accurate with her advice, Fabi knew little about her, except that she, too, was part of the same circles.
"Very well," Spectrum said, not seeming especially offended. "But I'd advise you go back to wherever that is as soon as you can. If anything or anyone is out of place..." She trailed off and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Fabi nodded. "Is Liz around? I...I owe her an apology."
Spectrum laughed slightly. "No, someone tried to beat up her sister and is probably regretting it an awful lot now. I don't know when she'll be back. If I see her, though, I'll pass the apology along."
"Fabienne S., only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this!" Effie Double--or whatever she currently considered to be her name--thundered down the library stairs and tackled Fabi to the ground. The anvil was close behind, tumbling precariously down the stairs, and Fabi melted it, causing her friend to glare.
"What the 13102222 was that for?" Eff pouted.
"It was going to seriously injure either me or Spectrum."
"No, you both have the reflexes to dodge it. Bring it back."
Fabi sighed and did so.
"Excellent," Effie nodded in approval. "You fixed the chip, too, thanks." She picked up the anvil with a grunt and started to walk off, but turned around again. "Need a disguise, either of you?"
"No thank you," Spectrum said, the corners of her mouth twitching as if she was containing a smile. "I'd best be going." She walked up to one of the bookshelves and triggered the little lever that made it swivel around, disappearing into one of many secret passages.
"She's interesting," Effie remarked. "But she's not going to kill you behind your back, if you were wondering."
"Um...good." Fabi nodded. "But Effie? I have to figure out where this device came from and what it's supposed to do, and..."
"Oh, you and your research! Actually, research is a a pretty cool tool, but I don't really want to use it just now. You're on your own. Well, unless one of the others decides to help you. May the force be with you!" Effie turned and cheerfully lugged the anvil up the stairs again.
((Oh, gosh, I've missed Effie!))
#ChaseForBook9
*inclines her head to Niccolo* but what if you grabbed the wrong one?
(Hey everyone! *hugs*)
*teleports beside Adra*
Hey...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara* Hey. Do you... Do you think you can tell the difference?
(*claps* OMG FABI! *hugs* that was wonderful!!)
I am not suggesting to steal anything, if that is indeed what you are referring to. It is possible for me to- for lack of a better term, touch- a true name without stealing it. If you recall, I tampered with Zafira's name to stop her blood from turning green.
#ChaseForBook9
(OH MY GOD FABI THAT'S BRILLIAM OKAY PERRIEFECT JESYPIC JADEMIRABLE REALLEIGH-ANNEBEATABLE)
#ChaseForBook9
That was lovely, Fabienne.
#ChaseForBook9
*stares hard at the two Harrys*
Is it just me or does that one seem sightly ... transparent? *points to the clone Harry*
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* Alright, I see what you mean
*walks to the clone Harry* Yeah... What is that?
I have no clue...
*swallows nervously*
(Hello?)
#ChaseForBook9
Apparently not the real Harry Styles. Strange that such an intricately cloaked clone should be recognized by such a basic flaw in design.
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes that Harry's face* Helloooooo
*pokes him again*
Yeah... He's not reacting. *stares at him*
(Thanks [hugs Mara and Adra] nods at Croatoan)
[Continues to write]
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi that was awesomeeeee :D
(YO! PEOPLE!)
(I cannot say I have anything to contribute at the moment.)
#ChaseForBook9
*whimpers*
#ChaseForBook9
*turns to Mara* Mara, you have to pull yourself together so you can get him back! *looks her in the eyes* You're his girlfriend. You have to do this
Is there anything in particular that I ought to be doing right now?
#ChaseForBook9
(Thanks Jubi [hugs])
(Yo, I'm still writing like a maniac and eating dinner, so not really here, sorry)
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* So.. That means the real one is possessed by a remnant? Or, rather the clone is? *frowns, wiping her eye*I don't remember.
One is a clone, the other is possessed.
#ChaseForBook9
But what can I do?
He slapped.. me.
*looks away*
(Very msd, it's 2:44am :P)
#ChaseForBook9
*nods, going to retrieve the soul catcher*
Why don't we just turn this on?
*turns around* Mara, that wasn't him. I can assure you that your Harry would never do that
Hi! Oh, I see we still have the Harry problem. Wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
SAPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
hi.
Hello, Sapphire.
Adra, you may as well simply activate the soul catcher. That ought to work.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Jubi!! :) *tackleglomps*
Mara, as much as I enjoy your company, I really think you need to sleep sometime soon :)
#ChaseForBook9
*shuffles feet* Mmm...
(I gtg... Sorry :/ can we finish this tomorrow? Idrc, haha you can finish it now if you want :P nightttttt *hugs*)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Coco!
Jubi, did you get my email?
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
Are you kidding me... *turns on the Soulcatcher, and it begins to whir loudly, glowing and pulsing slightly. the non-transparent Harry begins to move, his eyes opening*
Bye Mara! *tackleglomps* sleep well :) See you tomorrow.
#ChaseForBook9
Goodnight, Maralie.
#ChaseForBook9
But Adra, Trip said- (Copy pastes)
Trip Castalan, Lord of the Hobbits said...
These sigils make soul catchers ineffective against remnants inside this host. It also makes their soul invisible, their mind an impenetrable fortress and gives them the ability to cut bagels.
We can ignore him though :P
#ChaseForBook9
hmm lemme see...
*nods* He'll be waiting for you tomorrow, Mara...
*a black creature growls, and begins to climb from Harry's throat, being sucked into the soul catcher with a scream*
*turns it off*
...that was scarily easy.
*runs over, checking the real Harry*
Well... He appears to be un-possessed
*Copy/pastes
#ChaseForBook9
No I didn't get an email... :-/
*rolls eyes* Whatever Trip said.... Oh well, he's not here.
(If he brings it up, we can always argue that I would have pried the remnant out anyway, because I would have.)
#ChaseForBook9
I gtg :(
BYEEE
Jubi; I meant the one explaining that the random person who just added you to their circles was me XD
Adra; Okay :)
Welcome back Harry! *Uses air to move him into a more comfortable position* *Places a blanket over him*.
#ChaseForBook9
Goodbye, Jubilance.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Jubi! :( *tackleglomps*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Jubi! *hugs* *Blueberry puffs a bit of fire out at her*
Good argument. *un-cuffs the real Harry and lifts him up, and arm going around one of her shoulders*
I'll take him upstairs...
*drags the teenage boy to the stairs, thinking- DAMN what's this boy eat? I mean, he's thin... but- WHAT*
Maybe we washed the sigils off :)
#ChaseForBook9
*sees Saph's comment*
*um... Oh well.*
*pulls him through the doors to Trip's bedroom, lying him on the mattress, letting out her breath before going back down and taking the chair that the clone is in, and beginning to drag that outside*
Need any help with him Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*blows the air from her face, pushing the other clone- still in the chair- down the staircase*
Nope, I've got him
And Blogland is -kind of- peaceful again :)
#ChaseForBook9
Oh yeah. Totally. *heaves the chair, topping over, the back of the chair falling over her legs*
*curses, pulling her feet out from under it, looking at him*
Right. Okay. Enough with dragging you- you're even heavier than the real one..
Where did Coco go?
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* You can never really know... *pulls out a stick, drawing a circle around the clone, trapping him in a cage*
*touches the ground, feeling the energy go through her, taking a lot of her energy with it*
*falls back, looking up*
Whoa..
I am still here, I merely have nothing to contribute currently.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* understandable... *pulls a waterbottle from her backpack, sipping it slowly, looking up at the night sky*
*Vile flies down from a tree, landing on her stomach, curling up*
*lifts her head to look at the dragon for a second* You're heavy as well... For a baby dragon, that is...
Hey Niccolo...*falls from tree*
*laughs slightly* derp...
Hello, Zafira.
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns*
why do i miss so much?
did you know:
dichotomous means Exhibiting or characterized by dichotomy.
*nods* we are learning this in science!!
Niccolo I need yiur advice on this before Alexis wakes
*Gets to her elbows, and draws the symbol for a portal next to her, setting Vile down on the grass, and slipping through it after taking a swig of a soda*
*calls back* I'll be back soon, by the way!
*wanders through the doors of Hogwarts, then the halls, trying to remember where the Room of Requirement was*
Back :) Gtg soon though.
Hi Zaf and Snow! *tackleglomps*
#ChaseForBook9
Saph!! *tacklehugs*
i dont know whats going on :(
What is it, Zafira?
#ChaseForBook9
gah! got to go, apparently, and these are my science teachers words, "we are going for a little work"
bye
Snow; Nothing much atm. We got the remenant out of Harry and Adra's sorting out/has sorted out the clone.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay, bye Snow! *tackleglomps*
#ChaseForBook9
*goes up to and speaks only so he can hear* what is there I can do? Javier gave me this paper that has Alexis's true name god knows how he found it but i know it and i don't want her to know it but if i should be captured and a Sensitive gets in my head I do NOT wanna know what would happen
Hello, Snow. Adra is at Hogwarts attempting to find the Room of Requirement, and Zafira has just asked for my advice. That is all for now.
#ChaseForBook9
Nye works for the Irish Sanctuary now, does he not? Perhaps you could ask him to seal her name.
#ChaseForBook9
Last time I spoke to Ravel, he was punching me and unfortunatly Nye works for him and i got to go through offcial channels
*a door appears in the hallway*
*laughs* FOUND YOU!!!
*pushes them open, first checking on another egg, about to hatch as well, before going back to the Mirror, plopping down in front of it*
God... Was it really so hard for them that they couldn't tell what I saw in the mirror? "Well, we're more similar than we seem, eh?"
Really? *rolls her eyes* Idiots.
*sits back, watching the mirror*
I am sorry, but I'm afraid that is the best advice I can offer you. Official channels may take some time, however they will eventually yield results, correct?
#ChaseForBook9
Yes they would. Thanks Niccolo. *sits on ground* so I have nothing to do can we spar or something?
*picks up an old knife, playing with it*
Well..
*picks it up, so it jams itself into the lock of the Boggart chest, breaking it, as the dark cloud slithers out*
*breathes in* Right. Here we go
You were inclined to speak to me previously, correct? Was there anything in particular you wanted to say? I seem to recall several scenarios where you and/or Alexis requested we sit down to talk.
#ChaseForBook9
*waits for the boggart to take the form of yesterday, but instead it just keeps slithering toward her*
That's strange...
*eyes widen*
Wait, I thought-
*the boggart rushes forward, stretching out and around her and she screams, feeling like she was falling, as dull thumps hit the top of the coffin- like dirt. Like being buried alive*
*holds the wand close to her side, her heart beating a frenzy, breathing hard, trying not to hyperventilate.*
Breathe, Adra... Breathe... You have to do this
Well yeah I did...I just I wanted to know you a bit better I just feel like i know NOTHING about you and I just feel bad you lived longer then I have and yet you have accomplised a lot
Hello? I think my phone may have destructified entirely...:-(

*nods* I understand. One part of my perplexity at your affections is undoubtedly the fact that you know so little about me.
Discounting a surplus of creative ways to torture and kill, I have accomplished astoundingly little in over 500 years.
(Adra, I feel compelled to acknowledge your presence and inform you that I am reading what you are writing.)

*begins taking slow, steady breaths* In with the good air, out with the bad, over and over.
*raises the wand* Riddikulus.
*nothing happens*
*eyes widen, and she kicks the bottom of the coffin* Riddikulus, dammit!
*takes the wand, tapping it in her hand*
Did you hear me?
I said Ridikkulus, you idiot
Oh, wait, I'm still at the library. [facepalm]
Sorry.

Hello, Fabienne. You have my condolences.

*hugs Fabi* Sorry hun!
*nods* Thanks, Nic. I figured that since Zaf was coming, she's want to talk to you herself, so I thought- hey, let's go fix some things!
You're a scholar okay maybe were is a better term. You can argue I may be Grand Mage but you're freakin brilliant I could never have figured out to steal names at 20! I just don't know....so you were from Britian? You have any siblings?
Hello Croatoan, Adra [hugs back], Zaf.
[Shrugs in the way that suggests there isn't really anything to be done] Dad's going to try to fix it when he gets home, but after what he did to my old MP3 player, I can't say I have much confidence in his abilities.
