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.

Trust you? I would entrust my life to you, that doesn't mean I'm leaving this prisoner with a lack of escaping to your American prisons! No, he's coming to one if mine.
#ChaseForBook9
I mean...
My boys did the Stop The Traffic, Let Em Through.
That was Louis' old dance move.
The last time they did that was 2 years ago.
I am actually crying right now, I swear.
:)
#ChaseForBook9
*Appears out of nowhere*
DON'T YOU DARE DED TO MAHU EMBER
*poofs*
@Fabi: It's nice to meet you too. :)
[Is anyone actually counting how many times Fabi and Hunter are meeting . . . ? I lost track. XD]
You know, I have a good solution. How about you all just give Javier to me? I'll take him to my time and there'll be no way he can get back.
#ChaseForBookNine
*growls* That's because the ones he was sent to were for lesser criminals... *whispers into his ear* There's one that even Zaf doesn't know about.. No one has ever- EVER- escaped it.
whatever im logging whch means so does Javier i said enough Trip this is why i didnt want you involved
Hunter, you'd just torture him all the time.
And this is the third time, I think.
[hugs Mara]
Jubi, that's like asking me to use my real name! XD Ember's gonna ded to MAHU.
Now, if you were really smart, you'd... \|\\||\\/ \|||/\|/|\||\/|/||\|\/||//\|\/ \|\\||/||/\|. XD
#ChaseForBook9
[*hugs Maraness* I love you. :)
How can you think your 1Dness is annoying? :)]
Hey Jubi! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
[I have no idea, over twenty, at least, but I lost track! XD]
(Sidenote- Do remember Javier is Zaf's character, and maybe she doesn't want him to be locked up permanently like that)
#ChaseForBook9
(*nods* true...)
Also--Don't underestimate Americans.
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: *scowls* I don't want to torture him. Look, you've seen Sadistic Killer Me. Welcome to Efficent Buisnessman Me. I could use him really well, if you let me have him . . .
And really, Adra? Would you like me to break that reputation? XD
I'm actually doing that, one day. *nods*
If it exists. Information from a hallucination who dislikes me isn't really the best way to find out about a place I've never heard of before.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head* No, it's not Hunter. And you're not helping your cause.
Msd.
@Adra: . . . Would it help my cause if I phoned Ez to come argue for me?
#ChaseForBookNine
That's exactly what I dont want I dont want him locked up you have no right anyway i have more legal power Javier is AMERICAN not SCOTTISH i dont want you involved Trip how many times do i need to say it?!

#ChaseForBookNine
By the w☂y, I will EVENTU☂LLY not ded to M☂HU, but only on ☂ SERIOUSLY speci☂l occ☂sion like ☂nother de☂th, ☂ life, ☂nother m☂rri☂ge, or if one of my f☂ve f☂ve F☂VE people on here le☂ves for good.
Why doesn't one of you just kill him ☂nd then you won't ☂rgue?
I really dont care anymore i hate when people dont listen if i say enough i mean it i dont need to yell it forever
*grabs Alexis and storms off*
*hugs Star and Fabi*
Because it is, Star :)
It's "the most annoying thing on this planet" according to everyone irl :)
#ChaseForBook9
Please don't call Ez...
Zaf, if you want to do something then you have to do better! Do you want to be killed? Because if you don't, then you would be doing everything you can in your power to keep him away and right now, what I see is a sitting duck
Zaf, you can have him back, but know, you and your child will NEVER be safe. I can prevent him leaving Scotland, he'll never trouble you again.
#ChaseForBook9
Why don't I keep his soul?
*sighs* okay look I don't want him in SCOTLAND he is an AMERICAN MAGE and hence would be sent back to the States Dreylan Scarab was arrested in Ireland and sent bak into America
IF YOU DON'T ☂NSWER ME I WILL JUST KILL HIM ☂ND BE DONE WITH IT
[@Maraness: I must be an alien, then. XD]
*runs after Zaf* NO.
Alexis, how 'bout you come with me and Adra and Trip? I'll show you the best waterfa,l I've ever seen. It's amazing.
And, um. *takes out phone and presses 5*
#ChaseForBookNine
[hugs Ember]
#ChaseForBook9
*looks Zaf in the eye* What I brought him to a facility- one that he is unable to break out of. (So in the RP you can't just say that he broke out- because I'll only use it if you promise that he won't get out)
No one has ever gotten out.
Ever.
*hugs F☂bi*
R☂ndom hugging is good.
Oh, what the fuck are you up to now.
#ChaseForBookNine
*glances at Ember* You will do no such thing
*coughs, putting her head in her hands* Oh, here we go...
I w☂nt you, ☂dr☂, Trip, ☂nd Z☂f, to know something very import☂nt, which is th☂t I ☂m ☂ctu☂lly ☂live right now
Oh, wh☂t the fuck ☂re YOU up to now
No Ember no dont take his soul LEAVE HIM ALONE ALL OF YOU!!!
Alexis: i rather not
*looks at Ez* You want to break that prison's record?
Oh, btw - how many people are there here? Because I think I'm hallucinating quite a few.
#ChaseForBookNine
I have a better idea. You can apply for extradition. Javier Fyreheart, you are under arrest for assault, assault on a sanctuary agent, child abuse and being a really creepy weirdo! There, as we are in international territory, I arrested him first. And as a Scottish agent, he is therefore arrested by the Scottish sanctuary. You can apply for extradition to have him returned to America once court proceedings have taken place.
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: Hi, Ez. How are you, Ez? Sorry for bothering you, Ez.
(We'll smash the record to pieces. :D)
Ten. You, me, umbrella girl, person who you haven't met before, Grand Mage, her injured husband, person who injured her husband, alchemy girl, 1D girl, kid.
@Umbrella girl: I don't have a fucking clue.
#ChaseForBookNine
Goodbye im leaving im sick of being ignored i said ENOUGH HE IS MY CHARACTER I DECIDE HIS FATE NOBODY ELSE IF YOU CANT RESPECT THAT IM LEAIG SO THANK TRIP FOR MAKINGME LEAVE
I'm sorry for not really having anything to say to you September.
#ChaseForBook9
Ez, you're helping me persuade them to give me Javier.
@ez: You can arrest people for being creepy weirdos? *raises eyebrow*
I TOLD YOU THE LAW WAS SCREWED UP LIKE TELEPHONE CORDS.
#ChaseForBookNine
*un-Poofs*
omg.. I just realized...
WHERE'S KESSIE??!
*Poofs again and stalks*
What, you could have him back, you just sort of ignored me.
#ChaseForBook9
@Hunter: AND I TOLD YOU TELEPHONES NO LONGER HAD CORDS.
And, um - WHY?
#ChaseForBookNine
1D girl?
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A NAME. *sulks*
DIRECTIONER.
Say it with me.
DI-REC-TION-ER.
#ChaseForBook9
*rubs her temples* Good God. *coughs a bit until her eyes water, before she goes inside, looking for a thermometer*
So, sorry Zaf.
#ChaseDorBook9
@Ez: BUT SOME TELEPHONES HAVE CORDS IN THIS TIME, SO /HA/.
And, um - because you're nice? :D
@Zaf: I can do whatever I want, thanks.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: Yeahhhhh, I've very nice.
Your eyes are freaky when they're purple.
Directioner girl, then. *shrugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
At some point during this conversation, Fabi vanished, unseen into the shadows.
#ChaseForBook9
*pulls out a thermometer, and takes her temperature*
*eyes bug out*
*shouts* WHAT????
Well sorry I tell it as it is I'm being realistic it doesnt matter he is AMERICAN i am sick of Trip not listening he's AMERICAN it means AMERICA deals with him he'd be charged and first off you cant just arrest him I over rule i am on the Supreme Council as well if you cant understand then you need to hang it up Trip
*looks around* What is going on...?
#ChaseForBook9
OH, NO NO NO.
JAVIER IS GOING NOWHERE WITH ZAF.
*tugs Javier away from Addy*
Ezzy, read above.
#ChaseForBookNine
My eyes are purple too! Well, bottomless purple vortexes that send you crazy if you stare into them for too long.
#ChassForBook9
*steps out from the forest into the middle of everyone*
Everyone needs to calm the fuck down!
Ari make sure Coco is arouf I may end up strangling someone and i much prefer to be stopped
Javier attacked Zaf, and now everyone wants to arrest him and they're all arguing over who gets to do it.
Also, I'm a hallucination.
#ChaseForBook9
Don't call me Ezzy.
Sure, Zaf. Because the justice system is just perfect, and things always happen the way they should.
(Hunter, I reckon you just teleport off with him).
Adra - do you want me to help you out? I can probably make you better if you want.
#ChaseForBookNine
*pockets the thermometer*
*walks outside, smacking Trip and Zaf*
GUYS.
REALLY.
Zaf, he's doing the most practical solution- he is right. Javier would be safest with him, because you keep bringing him back up and every time someone has to save you from him.
Trip, Zaf has a point as well. Javier is her character, and it is her decision, no matter how unrealistic it is.
NOW HUSH
Oooh! Law time! If someone is arrested in international territory, they must either be tried by the UN, or by the nation of the person who arrested them.
#ChassForBook9
*whispers to Ez* Is she an hallucination?
I know you said none of them were, but I'm certain I hallucinated that.
Hey Aretha. Um, we're trying to decide what to do with Javier.
No, Ez, I have to take him PROPERLY. I have to WIN, not CHEAT.
#ChaseForBookNine
NO offence, Ez, but I'm a little skeptical of you two. I'll take my chances. Not everyone should be healed 24/7. That's just getting spoiled.
@Hunter: You're not hallucinating her.
And, WHAT THE FUCK.
Okay. Would breaking into the prison be cheating?
#ChaseForBookNine
Why dont we just give him to Alastair or Niccolo? I rather HIM have Javier then Trip
hello all
#chaseforbook9
*looks at Zaf* That's because you have a puppy love crush on him.
Or by their home nation depending on what the UN says. The law is confusing.
#ChaaseForBook9
@Ez: . . . I guess not . . .
. . . Are you SURE I'm not hallucinating her?
*taps Fabi on the head* I'm talking about that one.
Even though I haven't met her yet.
Aw, Addy, WHY?
#ChaseForBookNine
That's true Adra.
#ChaseDorBook9
No because he would at least SOMETHIMG to bury an arm maybe....Trip wouldnt he'd leave nothing and hence why I trust Coco a hell lot more then Trip
Javier: i much rather not die
*looks at Zaf calmly*
Look I know he's your husband and you have a sense of loyalty towards him but he went after your child. He harmed your child. That's a crime onto itself and as a parent you only do right by her.
Let him go Zaf. Let him get the punishment he deserves, if not for anything against you but the harm against his daughter.
whats going on?
#chaseforbook9
Kessie isn't coming back till September.
Goodbye friends, I'm gone. *disappears*
#ChaseForBook9
*sneezes* You all are lucky I love you, or else I'd have killed you by now. *goes to retrieve her blanket*
People of the law say the law is confusing to explain why one thing can appy in one circumstance and other in another.
The law is a shtty bunch of lies.
@Adra: You sure? I'm a lot more reliable than him. I don't have any mental issues, for one thing. For another, I'm not the overlod person like he is, I just get employed by said overlord person.
#ChaseForBookNine
Die? Why would I kill you? You have a fate worse than death! You are limbless for the rest of your life! If I wanted you to die, I wouldn't be replacing all this blood you're losing with blood like energy.
#ChaseForBook9
:( Bye Mara! *hugs*
Drew...I really....I rather not okay? I rather someone from America deal with him
[Salutes Adra]
Hello Dalek.
Uh, Zaf? I think Croatoan is the only one here (or possibly not here) who doesn't want to arrest/torture/kill Javier.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises hand*
I'M FROM AMERICA, ZAF.
hello fabi, whats happening
#chaseforbook9
Bye Mara [hugs]
Give him to Adra, then, Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: That was very well said. :)
[@Maraness: :O
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
:(
Fours?
:(
:(]
@Adra: Yeahhhhhhhh, like to see you try. :)
Giving him to Coco is actually quite a good idea.
#ChaseForBookNine
He made a vow that he'd kill Javier. Rather him
Dalek, Trip got bored of Javier attacking all the time so he blew up his arms and legs and gave him a piece of his mind then arrested him. Zaf doesn't like that though.
#ChaseForBook9
ok, thanks
#chaseforbook9
@Hunter: IT WAS TERRIBLY SAID. *grins*
@Zaf: I'm American?
#ChaseForBookNine
[Speaks with two voices]
Nothing! Everything!
[Scowls]
Cut that out.
Dalek, everyone's trying to arrest Javier and arguing over who gets to do it.
#ChaseForBook9
*seethes, pointing a finger at Hunter* You would, wouldn't you?
*crosses her arms*
Niccolo's French. Just saying. I never vowed to kill Javier! I'm quite offended!
#ChaseForBook9
ok, thanks
#chaseforbook9
OH SHUSH. YOU KNOW IT WAS BRILLIANTLY SAID.
DO NOT INSULT MY SAYINGS, YOU ONION.
I am from nowhere and everywhere. *nods*
But if you give him to Ez, I promise not to take him off her?
#ChaseForBookNine
why not send him to neutral land such as the arctic.
#chaseforbook9
Zaf he's in Ireland though. On Irish soil, he has to be tried in the UN first before he is and if he is sent back to America.
Thats the way it goes I'm afraid. And you know I wouldn't lie to you. I do this every damn day.
You're just gonna have to accept that what happens to him, happens. He's turned into a monster and Alexis doesn't need that or see her mother fear someone she once loved.
Uh, yeah, Niccolo was British, then French, and then basically just a mix of a ton of different nationalities... So, I don't think you could really pass him off as American.
#ChaseForBook9
He is? Oh well whatever im just giving Niccoló his right he got dibs too bad
Javier: please dont kill me
Wait a sec, Hunterzo. How is giving him to Niccolo a good idea?
Unfortunately, Adra, he would.
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, it actually has to be in that big meet up of all the sanctuaries, as the UN.is a mortal organisation.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, it actually has to be in that big meet up of all the sanctuaries, as the UN.is a mortal organisation.
#ChaseForBook9
WHY ARE WE HAVING A FUCKING POLITICS MATCH
JAVIER IS HER CHARACTER SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS!!!!!!
LIKE WHAT THE REAL HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING
See you all later.
[Turns and walks into the woods]
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: It isn't, I just thought they all deserved a compliment. :)
I WOULD.
You do realise I am no way in hell letting him go anywhere with Zaf, don't you?
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, actually Niccolo never claimed dibs or anything. If anyone did it was me.
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter stay the hell out of it
Bye Fabi.
CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT ZAF IS GETTING PISSED OFF???????
@Hunter: Why are we bothering even listening to this?
#ChaseForBookNine
*coldly* Yeah, I know Ez.
*goes to make herself some tea*
Fabi! *runs forward and grabs her shoulder* Where are you going?
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: Nooooooooooo clue.
#ChaseForBookNine
Also Ari, where in Britain?
#ChAseForBook9
YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I ARRIVED, CAN YOU ALL JUST STOP IT
ALL WE EVER DO WHILE ROLEPLAYING IS JUST ARGUE AND ARGUE AND ARGUE
Right... okay.
I'm bloody dropping it, it's not like Blogland is my fucking jurisdiction anyway!
He's your damn husband, do what you want with him, but get him the hell away from here because all this bollocks is just causing trouble... again!!
*walks towards the waterfall to calm down*
*hugs* Bye Fabs
[Turns back briefly]
[Speaks in two voices]
The idea of glory is a funny thing. It motivates so much, and yet almost every whisper of it is false.
[Shakes head]
[Walks away]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabi!
Hunter, everyone hates you here . . .
Can you not go ANYWHERE without making three billion enemies? Is it so fucking hard to be NICE?
@Ember: I saw. I think we're all pissed off.
#ChaseForBookNine
[Turns again]
I'm not participating in this argument, Ari. [Shrugs]
#ChaseForBook9
*nudges Ez* That person whom I have never met before just said something awesome.
And they would have all loved me if I hadn't been trying to kill Adra, I swear.
#ChaseForBookNine
And WHY were you trying to kill Adra?
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, we thought it would be fun.
#ChaseForBookNine
*growls under her breath, sitting on the bar counter, sending glare daggers at Hunter* Arse
*raises eyes* You thought it would be fun
Okay, screw it, I'm done. Javier, you are hereby pardoned of all your crimes and are free, I'll stop replacing your now nonexistent blood with energy, recall all blood energy inside you and rerun you o Zaf's jurisdiction. Zaf, have fun watching your husband die, and if he does survive, enjoy watching him murder your children.
#ChaseForBook9
. . . I don't think I need to say anything else.
#CHaseForbookNine
Yeah, I'm not going to argue over this- neither is Niccolo, by the way.
Fabi, are you ok?
#ChaseForBook9
. . . You probably don't.
. . .
. . .
Sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
Next time you get bored, try kill ME.
Sorry, Adra.
#ChaseForBookNine
What the hell Trip? You cant leave him to die!!! *buries head in hands* i give up i really do i cant win
Javier: Zaffy...please...
*goes back to bar* Want a drink Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Ez, we should kidnap Alexis.
#ChaseForBookNine
We don't NEED to kidnap Alexis, we're kidnapping Javier.
Well, you are.
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *clings to Momma* get away! Someone help Daddy!!!
*storms through the bar doors*
I would roar but I don't want to burst your eardrums.
*starts pacing up and down in front of the bar to try and cool down*
Fine. *returns energy blood to Javier* Now take him to a hospital or something before I change my mind.
#ChaseForBook9
NO YOU ARENT STAY OUT OF THIS OKAY?
YOU'RE HELPING ME.
Can I have a drink, Trip?
#ChaseForBookNine
*slams her fist into the counter, the marble cracking, and breaking off into a million pieces. She marches over to Zaf, shoving her against a tree*
Can you make up your bloody mind, Grand Mage? Every time he comes, he tries to kill someone, and you can't possibly expect us to just sit by watching this go down- because you are talking about sensitive and serious topics.We're trying to do the good thing- the natural flow of the story.
Because not every story can go on forever, Zaf.
*pushes away, picking up another blanket and stalking off*
*takes Javier to the Sanctuary and comes back glaring and bangs head into tree*
Alexis: *skips over and hugs Ari* HI ARI
*throws Drew a really small bottle* Liquid morphene, it'll calm you down.
#ChaseForBook9
OH NO I'M NOT, HUNTER.
I though we estabilished that, Zaf. He's not staying out of it.
He's not too good at staying out of things.
#ChaseForBookNine
OH YES YOU ARE, HUNTER.
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND THE SANCTUARY!
#ChaseForBookNine
Depends on what you mean by that. [keeps walking]
#ChaseForBook9
I agree with Adra. Also, my bar is made of wood and LOOK AT THIS MESS! Argh!
#ChaseForBook9
Talking: honestly Trip i wouldnt care what you did but im letting Zafira as a character do as she thinks so its nothing personal to you or anyone
She'll be the death of me, that girl. *presses a sigil and bar reconstitutes itself*
#ChaseForBook9
She'll be the death of me, that girl. *presses a sigil and bar reconstitutes itself*
#ChaseForBook9
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND THE SANCTUARY TOMORROW!
#ChaseForBookNine
*smiles* Hey, Alexis.
Hunter, Niccolo and I don't hate you. I mean, I don't exactly appreciate you trying to kill my friend, but it was more of a mutual thing, I think... Yeah. And you didn't actually kill her, anyway. Also, you saved Niccolo's life. So we owe you. And you're kind of cool, in a quirky, fun way. So yeah. :)
(Ember does have a good point, guys...)
#ChaseForBook9
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND THE SANCTUARY NOT TOMORROW!
#ChaseForBookNine
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND THE SANCTUARY THE DAY AFTER, THEN!
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *sits by Ari* im sad i never got to show Niccolo mu new knife and clothes!
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND AND THE SANCTUARY /NO/!
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah, but then you- no, I'm not getting into this. What would you like Hunter?
#ChaseForBook9
You know what, I think I'm starting to get a little bit ||\/||\|\|/||\\\\/. I'm gonna actually go this time.
It's funny how /\/|/\/\|/\///||/\ /\|//\//|\\/ \|/|/\|/\ ///|/\ \/\|\\|/\//\ /||/// |\//\|//\|/\.
#ChaseForBook9
YES, NO TO THE SANCTUARY!
#ChaseForBookNine
NOOOOOOOOOOO!
#ChaseForBookNine
YES, /NO/!
#ChaseForBookNine
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I MEAN, YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
#ChaseForBookNine
*finds a field, and stands in the center of it, breathing heavily. She drops her blanket looking around, then grabbing her head, screaming. Angry, furious, full of rage and torture. She punches her hands into the ground, feeling the earth's energy flow through her like a stream, stealing up all of her anger and flowing back into the floor*
*there's a pause*
*a shock wave ricochets away from Adra, like a rock in a puddle, waves of waves rolling over the ground, as it shakes and cracks all around her, rocks shooting out of the surface in columns and shards*
Adra, you still here?
#ChaseForBook9
/YES/, NO TO THE SANCTUARY?
#ChaseForBookNine
*flies into the air* Okay! Um....
#ChaseForBook9
OH, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
@Aretha: Thank you! :) :) :)
You're awesome too. :)
@Ez: SEE? SOMEONE LIKES ME. :)
@Trip: Hot chocolate, please.
*sits down at bar*
I'll even actually pay you. *grins*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: They must not know you very well.
#ChaseForBookNine
Can I have coffee, please, Trip?
#ChaseForBookNine
Will YOU pay him?
#ChaseForBookNine
You can pay for me, if you're that bothered.
#ChaseForBookNine
*watches tiny ripples run along the floor* Adra....
#ChaseForBook9
See you later, Death. :(
Sure, I'll pay for you.
Because I'm nice.
Unlike you.
#ChaseForBookNine
Niccolo is still sort-of here, just not actually here in an effort to avoid making the conflict worse... I mean, there's already a lot going on at once.
#ChaseForBook9
Payment! Hot diggity! I haven't /payed/ in months! *gives hot chocolate*
#ChaseForBook9
@Aretha: Sorry.
I'll go away, if you like. I don't think I'm doing anything.
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: okay! I kinda wanna know if I can ever be as good with knives as he is
DEATH!!!! *tacklehugs* Ohmygosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here!! *hits self* Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry!!!!!!
#ChaseForBook9
*gives coffee*
#ChaseForBook9
Wait a sec, I don't know what currency we're using.
Um.
*gives Trip a new phone*
Does Ari exist, Ez?
#ChaseForBookNine
*tears well up in her eyes as she allows a large wave of rocks lift themselves from the ground, towering above her, before she let's it drop with a slam, some rocks slamming into trees, knocking them down as well*
*screams in rage*
This... This is fucking happens when I CARE *lifts some rocks from the ground, shooting them as far as she can into the air*
*walks into bar* one apple juice please trip *places money on counter*
#chaseforbook9
He carries a load of random new phones around with him, coz he's odd.
*takes coffee* *looks at Hunter*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ez, don't leave! I'm not criticizing people, just explaining why Niccolo isn't here! Also, I kind of love it when you argue with Hunter. *whispers excitedly* I ship it!
Alexis, if you practice hard for 500 years, you can be as good with knives as he is. You're already pretty impressive for your age, though, so don't worry about it!
#ChaseForbook9
Death is here? Hi Death! Sorry, I'm on my iPod and I can't see anything.
#ChaseForBook9
Right... that's it!
Stop. Stop! EVERYONE STOP!!!
Don't you see we've done it again.
First it was the whole Roleplaying vs Talker thing and everyone got so pissed off that a lot of people left for a break, me including.
Then Luce arrived on yesterday, for what I don't know, and started it all again. And ANOTHER shitty debate started when everyone had calmed down.
And now tonight, I come back on for the first time in a few days and we're all fucking arguing again... OVER A MADE UP CHARACTER!!!!!!!
This is our online home, we work together at it and because there's so much bloody tension and arguments starting over fucking nothing, a lot of us are being pushed out of our own home.
And do you know the worst part, we all just sit and take it like it's nobody's business. Well I'm fucking sick of it and I'm making it my business.
I want peace back in Blogland so badly that I would die for it!
That's how ridiculous all this is getting.
*gives Trip a phone to pay for Ez's coffee*
You can be whatever you want to be, Alexis.
You can be the best with knives in he world.
All that's required is belief.
And practise.
And practise is actually more fun, so whaddayouknow.
#ChaseForBookNine
IT'S A BOY!
THE NEW BABY PRINCE IS A BOY!
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *gives Ari a small little card* can you give this to Coco for me? (ari she drew a knife and it says thank you for being awesome and helping Mommy signed Alexis
DUCK!!!!!!! OMG I SAID THE SAME THING A WHILE AGO!!!!!!!!!
Fuck. It. All.
*begins to draw a portal into the ground, and it opens into the afterlife*
*hurtles herself into the portal, falling through the space*
*feet touch the ground, and she can feel the thousands of souls around her*
