It's Fun Being a Writer

I get to create stories for a living. I get to daydream for a job. I also, fair enough, have to work extremely hard and cocoon myself in solitude until the book is finished, but that's beside the point. The point is, I get to be a writer, which is something so few people who ALSO want to be writers get to do.

I've just made the very last changes to LSODM I can possibly make. We're in the final type-setting stage now— that is when they take the words you've written in the manuscript and arrange them onto a book page, ready to be printed. And I now know how many pages there are going to be...

KOTW was 607 pages in the hardback version. LSODM, which is a little under 30,000 words longer, will be... ready for this?... it will be...

604 pages.

Woohooo!!!!!

Now, wait a moment, before you scratch your heads and ask how does that work, it is quite simple. If they had continued to use the same font size as they used from the very start, my publishers would be releasing a book of, according to my vague and approximate mathematical skills, 900 pages. Which is a tad BIG.

So instead they've just reduced the size of the font, to squeeze more words in. Yay! You'll be able to lift up the book when you read it! Result!

Anyway, where was I?

Yes, now that I have approved the type-setting pages, and sent in the dedication and the author biography, I can now get back to the business of being a writer. Which is, y'know, to write... and stuff...

Coming up very soon, I have a non-Skulduggery short story to write, I have to start planning out Book Nine in greater detail (and actually get started on it), and I need to write a load of Skulduggery mini-adventures for the short story collection, in 2014.

But right NOW, my main focus is on another non-Skulduggery short story, for a collection that'll be coming out in the winter of next year. I've been thinking about this for a while now, trying to figure out what to write. It can be any genre, any style... My options are unlimited. But, see, that's where the problem lies.

Limitations are useful. If I'd been told that my story had to be, say, dystopian future sci fi, then I'd have nodded and gone off and written a great dystopian future sic fi story. But because it CAN be a dystopian future sci fi OR a modern day fantasy OR a comedy about a kettle shop OR a first person narrative about a boy who has lost his dog... I now have too many options. How can I settle on one idea if I might find a better one in a different genre?

Before I wrote Skulduggery Pleasant, I embarked upon a hundred half-finished and abandoned stories, books and scripts. Any of you who write will know what I'm talking about. We flit from story to story because we get bored or we get a better idea or this one we're writing now is just not working, or it's too hard, or it's not coming out like we wanted... We flit because our imaginations are running too wild. Our creativity will not settle down.

But of course it won't. It's imagination. It's creativity. Their whole purpose is to go crazy. Their whole purpose is to run wild. But we, as writers, need to get on our horses and gallop after them, lasso them, pull them back, slow them down and herd them into a pen (and this is where the metaphor gets extravagant, as this is both a livestock pen AND an author's pen). We don't want them tame, of course we don't. We want them rearing and kicking— but we want them to do it in that enclosure, within those boundaries and those limitations. That's the only way we'll be able to use that creativity to write a story.

So, that's what I'm doing now. I'm thinking about limitations, and boundaries, and genres. What do I WANT to write about? What style do I WANT to write in? What genre? Once I know all that I'll be able to think of a story and a character and sit down and write the damn thing.

I'll drink to that!
*Holds up frozen drink*
Crud...

Noelle said...

*drinks* it's tonic, Rosie

Jophiel said...

*Holds up hand for option II*

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I'M WITH THE GOOD GUYS!

I don't know how this happened, though, because I'm usually the one who's seen as evil. *laughs*

Nice to be somewhere else.

Remember, I go where the power isn't. ;)

#ChaseForBookNine

Jophiel said...

*Turns and glowers at Dark*
Don't. Call. Me. ROSIE!!

Ebony Law said...

-sighs- Pitiful. And... To whoever asked Alistair what was preventing him from killing his allies(notfuckingfollowers) I don't mean to be rude, but he cannot kill me. Well, I suppose he can, but I'd only come back again.

Snow said...

*shrugs*
ninjas go where eva they feel
normally im with good, though evil might be a good change...

Noelle said...

Well I suggest to everyone to pick a side, and stick with it.

This is too confusing *rubs temples*

Star Inkbright said...

Sure I won't call you Rosie, Rosie.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Anonymous said...

Morning! *waves* How are you?

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Good question, Hunter. I've debated killing them all. So far I've refrained on account of the fact that it's more amusing to watch them all fight amongst themselves, and I can just feel Aretha writhing around when they do, and to kill them would be too more effort than I need to expend when they're trying to kill each other anyway.

Ebony Law said...

You wouldn't be taller than me. Trust me. And no, I'm not explaining it, all will be explained when I write my biography for Dwyer.

Star Inkbright said...

Well, in that case, Dwyer - *handcuffs Dwyer with magic-binding handcuffs, which have needles inside them that pierce your wrists and send tranquillizer through your body*

I HAVE PICKENED A SIDE AND STUCKENED WITH IT!

#ChaseFOrBookNine

Snow said...

*sigh*

i am a detective, thus i am good

ah, well

Noelle said...

WELL IF YOU TRY TO SWITCH TO MY SIDE ONE MORE TIME, I WILL KILL YOU. This is it. No "renegades" pick one. It's all black and white, people.

Jophiel said...

Yeah, uh, Alistair... Don't try and kill me because that would be very bad for Ari...

Star Inkbright said...

@Dwyer: Damn. I hate people who are taller than me. TALLER PEOPLE ARE SEEN AS HAVING MORE AUTHORITY THAN NORMAL PEOPLE. IT'S AWESOME OR SUCKS, DEPENDING ON HOW TALLER YOU ARE.

#ChaseForBookNine

Ebony Law said...

-smiles at Hunter- Impressive. But your magic-binding handcuffs have no effect on me, considering that I am not from your world of magic.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I am picking one. God, just ignore me, why don't you.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Hunter, I don't know whether to take your "power isnt" comment to offense or not...

(hi Dragona! Basically Shit storm. Watch out)

Snow said...

good shall prevail.... and all that jazz

Noelle said...

Hunter, I know you're backing me. But I need to know for every one else.

Jophiel said...

Okay, I am not going to double-cross anymore. I'm firmly i this side!

Noelle said...

*I can't see where you're standing Rosalina. Mind telling me?*

Star Inkbright said...

@Dwyer: That's cool. I'm not from the world of magic either.
DOES THE TRANQUILLIZER (it's human, ordinary) DO ANYTHNG???

*grabs second pair of different handcuffs from belt and holds them at ready*

#ChaseForBookNine

Ebony Law said...

Yes, Hunter. It tickles.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Adra, things are never pure black and white. If you can't deal with that, I recommend you learn to.

Jophiel said...

Alistair's side. And don't you ever call me that again or I will chop off your head.

Snow said...

* maniacal laugh*

i am good!! deal with me being odd

Noelle said...

I don't need any input from you, Alastair. That I can gladly do without.

I'm going to assume that Hunter is with me and the rest of you, well... I'm disappointed, to say in the least.

Ebony Law said...

Death, is Judhipor necessary at the moment? Because I can help with that.

Noelle said...

And Snow

Jophiel said...

No, I hate Judi...

Noelle said...

*warningly*..Guys....

Star Inkbright said...

Okay. *applies second pair of handcuffs*

These inject a torturous substance from my time. It both freezes your body in the state it's in (you can still move, but you don't grow or anything) and is incredibly, cripplingly painful. No other pain can compare. There is no way to deal with it or resist against it.

[By the way, he's exaggerating slighlty. Resistance is possible to some extent. Total resilience has never existed for any being, alive or dead.]

#ChaseForBookNine

Ebony Law said...

Let her out. I cannot defeat Adra on my own. If you can't let her out yourself, I will have to force her out. With your permission, of course.

Star Inkbright said...

(That was Dwyer, btw)

#ChaseForBookNine

Jophiel said...

I don't want her out! I like being me!!!

Ebony Law said...

-goes down to the molten core of the earth, and rises back up and stands next to Hunter- easy.

Star Inkbright said...

You can beat Adra and not me?

Yeahhh . . . that makes total sense. Because Adra is so much more powerful than me, of course, yes.

[Not lying, but implies that he's far more powerful than Adra. I don't know how powerful Adra is exactly, but he won't be waaaay more powerful than her, so this can also be classed as exaggeration.]

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

So, did I miss some big "we hate Adra" collaboration? What's with the sudden interest, Dwyer? Why now? You could have attacked at any point earlier. What stopped you?

Snow said...

you can always count on me adra... even if i say i am evil, i am always good, just being a double agent

Noelle said...

Hunter.

hush. You're not helping.

Ebony Law said...

Hunter, I never claimed I couldn't beat you.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dwyer: You know, that's rather impressive.

*grips Dwyer's arm and starts scrambling the atoms inside his body*

#ChaseForBookNine

Ebony Law said...

Hellos. I am the swagalicious hipster banana from the future. If you try to eat me...?

I will
Flip.
My.
Shit.

Noelle said...

*pokes head in* Yeah. Hi. Hello. Um, I'd just like to say, um...
I CAN HEAR EVERY WORD YOU SAY, YOU MORON.

*clears throat*
That is all.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dwyer: Yay. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

[@Adra: They can't handle your awesome. :)]

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*paces* this is a waste of our time...

Snow said...

okay... i am going to leave this crazy insane fantasie land now!!

goodbye!! *hugs all*

Ebony Law said...

-floats over to Hunter, and sits on her head-

Your ear has a rather weird formation... I- is that even an ear?

Noelle said...

*eyes widen* Oh no....

Hunter, I think it's about time we blew this joint, isn't it?

Anonymous said...

(Grrrrr... gtg. Gonna get the results of my final exams!! 0_0 So... uh... don't get killed, ok? Bye!)

Star Inkbright said...

[@Adra: I would at this point make Hunter agree and run off to kill Alastair, but I'm going in six minutes so um. *frowns, undecided* WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?]

#ChaseForBookNine

Snow said...

DFTBA!!! (dont forget to be awesome)

BYEEE

Noelle said...

RUN, DAMMIT

Ebony Law said...

-glares at Adra-
If you are, I'm coming with you. Or I'll hide under your pillow.

















With a knife.

Noelle said...

LIke hell you will, Dwyer. *climbs into the helicopter, dragging Hunter along and takes off, aiming an arrow at Dwyer, and releasing so it hits his foot*

Jophiel said...

*Mutters under breath about something*

Ebony Law said...

I am a banana. I have no feet. -floats up to you and sits on your head-

Noelle said...

*curses over and over about the damned helicopter* Go a tad bit faster, will you?

Ebony Law said...

-teleports Death up to the helichoppah- Herrow. :>

Noelle said...

*slices the banana in half and lets it fall into the ocean* What.

Ebony Law said...

-teleports back into the helichoppah- HERROW AGAIN. SI SI?

Jophiel said...

*Jumps out of helicopter and cannonballs into ocean*

Noelle said...

You never did fully answer my question, Dwyer.

Why the sudden interest? You had plenty of chances earlier, but why now?

Ebony Law said...

-steals Death's finger-































Mine.

Ebony Law said...

Who's Dwyer?

Ebony Law said...

Death. Should I tell Adra what sharting is?

Noelle said...

*glares* you're an asshole.

Jophiel said...

Meh...
*Shrugs*

Ebony Law said...

Well. Speaking of assholes. A shart is when you fart and then shit starts just flying fucking everywhere.

Noelle said...

Ugh. Now I'm really confused...

Ebony Law said...

BITCH I DONT WANT NO FINGAAHS! -pegs finger back at Rose- (you're not a bitch it was a joke c:)

Jophiel said...

Yep, this is where I leave.
*Vanishes*

Noelle said...

*makes a quick portal and escapes, closing it behind her and filling the sigil*

I'm going to try and sleep now. So hush.

Noelle said...

Bottom line- I think Alastair was just about as miffed as I was, so...

Noelle said...

EVERYONE SUCKS!!! *confetti*

-_- now leave me alone. It's 3AM. I'll be back in a few hours

Anonymous said...

I'm back! And I'm happy!! :D
Who else is here?

Anyone?? Hellooooo!

Well... I'm off then... might come back later but I don't know yet.

Hello

'ello, 'ello, 'ello!

Duck said...

OH EM GEE DRAGONA!
YOUR PICTURE IS CHANGING COLOURS!!!!!!

TELL ME HOW TO DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

*Waves*
My hair is only slightly red/orange now... Back to brown/blonde...

I need advice... Should I temporarily due my hair blue do I can call myself Clarabelle?

Anonymous said...

*grins at Duck* Yep, that's it! It's a warning, so it has to change colours. And you have to take this warning seriously! Don't you dare to interrupt me when I talk to myself!

Uh, Death, just think about it again. Do you really want to call you Clarabelle? If yes, you can due your hair blue.

#ChaseForBook9

Anonymous said...

*yourself

Duck said...

That... is a great idea! You should definitely dye your hair blue and call yourself Clarabelle!!!!!

Or keep it red/orange.

#ChaseForBook9

Duck said...

Yes it's a warning, Dragona, BUT HOW DO YOU DO IT!!!!!

Jophiel said...

The red is temporary... It was for my Ginny Weasly cosplay...

Noelle said...

Hello.

Duck said...

GINNY!!!!
Yeah, she's pretty awesome. Although not that much really because she doesn't do anything awesome in the series. But her hair is red so she gets an automatic awesomeness award.

Noelle said...

*sighs* we I HAD rather hoped that the Blog would be more full this morning...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Well then you can add one more to the party. Or two, if you count Aretha.

Duck said...

HEY... Ducktor
Have we met? My name is Duck...

Duck said...

HELLLLO ALASTAIR!!!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*floats on*

Wbd, finishing a birthday card...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Of 47, if you count everyone else... (hi Duck! I'm Adra)

Duck said...

Adra. That's better.
I would have felt uncomfortable calling you Ducktor anyway, it feels... Undermining.

Noelle said...

(I gotcha)
Even still, I'm gone to sleep for five hours and barely ten comments pass. I have to say I'm a tad bit disappointed.

Noelle said...

*sighs* That was very anticlimactic.
Wonder where Rosie went...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

It's only logical that you'd be disappointed. I've been horribly bored for some time now, so I left.

Duck said...

Sorry Adra, but I have to go now. My brother moved the wi-fi to the other side of the house and I'm not bothered to get up

BYE BYE!!! ⚓

Noelle said...

I know. *sits on a random stool* It's BORING without anyone pledging allegiances (I will say, I was surprised, but don't believe the two) or starting skirmishes....
*sighs again*
And I'm stuck with you, and I can't even punch you because you decided to play Danny Phantom.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

So it appears we have reached an impass.

Noelle said...

*rolls eyes* well what do you suggest we do?

How are you even still awake? *peers closer* Do you even sleep?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*laughs* I'll leave you to ponder that on your own for a while.

Noelle said...

...How cryptic. Then again, I am talking to you, Alastair.
Then again, a straight answer never hurt anyone.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I do sleep. Just not often. And naturally, never in the presence of other people.

Jophiel said...

*Groans*
I don't wanna go to sleep!!!!

Noelle said...

Neither did I, but I managed five hours, Rose. You can too.

*looks at Alastair* so basically every time you're gone for more than 20 comments you're sleeping?

Jophiel said...

I have to wake up early tomorrow!! And then go to Melbourne!!!! And then look at houses!!! I won't have wifi!!!
*Starts crying*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

No. Usually I'm watching silently. Otherwise I may have simply found a task with which to occupy myself for a few minutes. I don't generally warn people when I'll be gone or distant.

Noelle said...

*pets head* Sorry...

Noelle said...

So I've noticed. You like to keep people wondering?

Jophiel said...

Nor do I Mr. Cruciatus.

Jophiel said...

Uh oh... I'm getting to my very formal/very bizarre time...

Noelle said...

Oh dear...

Anywho, to conclude, I hope something terribly interesting happens today. You know. "And the plot thickens" type of interesting.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I don't see any purpose in consistently telling people where I am and what I'm doing. It's annoying.

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

Oh yeah why not i miss all the good shit anyway

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

*sees Alastair*

Hello Alastair....im not in your head am i??

Noelle said...

Of course! I know what Twitter is, and its irritating...

But you do have something planned then?
*grins* Hey Zaf.

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

Hey Adra....you mind updating me when I leave again? I gotta go to NJ for a bit...i prefer to not say why it's bit sad really

Jophiel said...

Insane laughter has passed..
*Smiles*

Jophiel said...

*Pauses then starts chuckling darkly*
Spoke too soon!!

Noelle said...

Um... Ok. I'll try not to spam you again.

*stands on top of a roof top's gargoyle, looking out over the city*

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

Brb showertime. Will be back shortly

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Zafira, you are indeed not in my head.

Noelle said...

*knocks on Alastair's forehead* Areeeethaaaaa you still hanging in there?

Jophiel said...

My little brother is sleeptalking in Spanish... He doesn't know any Spanish...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

She can't hear you.

Jophiel said...

Can you let her out for a moment? I want to give her a hug without being beheaded...

Noelle said...

How did she know that Rose had turned over yesterday, then? Which makes me wonder how it went down this morning...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*sits in tree, watching this all go down*
*noms popcorn*

Still distant.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

She knew because I showed her. While she's in my head, I can essentially do anything with her. Her absolute greatest fear is the people she cares about being harmed, and second to that is complete darkness. So that's where I have her now- locked in her own personal nightmare. When I want her to see something, I can make sure she sees it. Otherwise, she has no idea what's been going on or how much time has passed.

I don't think I'll be letting her out again anytime soon. It was fun that one time, but mostly because you weren't expecting it.

Ebony Law said...

Hellos. I am back. Blogland just became 1000009999999999900000x more swagalicious.

Ebony Law said...

But it would appear my good friend Dwyer is necessary. I be back.

Ebony Law said...

-steps out of shadows beside Death- Vas Happenin' ?

Noelle said...

You did not just say "swagalicious" *glares*

I really shouldn't be reassuring you, Rose, but she'll be back soon enough. That, or Alastair will have a trick of his sleeve... Or something.

Ebony Law said...

A- are we talking about Aretha?

Jophiel said...

*Taps on Alistair's shoulder*
You're mean! Can you at least tell her I said hi?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Yes, Dwyer, we are talking about Aretha. Why?

Ebony Law said...

-grabs Deaths shoulder a little too tight- ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ARETHA?!

Jophiel said...

You can say it all scary like if you want!

Ebony Law said...

-stops-

Jophiel said...

Yes! We are! Ow!

Ebony Law said...

Just... Just curious. -small glint of blackness flashes in my eyes, and fades-

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*arches eyebrow* Well, this is fascinating. I wonder what interest you could have in Aretha.

Ebony Law said...

-turns my head to Alastair- What makes you think I have an interest in Aretha?

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

Thank god

*bitch slaps Alastair*

LET ARI OUT!!!!

Noelle said...

Um because you just had a panic attack?

Jophiel said...

*Turns slowly to Dwyer*
That is my sister. Whatever you do to her, I will double on your hide!

Ebony Law said...

-leaps away, and sits on top of a mountain-

Niccolò Croatoan said...

You do realize, Zafira, that your hand will just pass through me.

Dwyer, you must have an interest in something- your reaction was rather striking.

Noelle said...

So.... Dwyer's gone psycho.

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

Do I look like I care Alastair? You seriously have no control over me just remember who managed to hurt you

Ebony Law said...

-leaps back and knees Adra in the face-
Psycho? I don't think I've gone "psycho", you conceited- -closes my eyes-

Niccolò Croatoan said...

It certainly appears that way.

Jophiel said...

*Grins and hugs Alistair*
I LOVE YOU ARETHA!

Noelle said...

*falls back on the ground, hard* oooooooooow, a what the hell, Dwyer?

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

You have issues Alastair Cruciatus you really do

Alexis: *pokes Alastair* Is it true you have Aretha?

Noelle said...

So first it's strange and creepy devotion, to hipster"whatthehell"bananas, into strange fetishes.

*nods*

I think it's drugs.

Ebony Law said...

Oh- Alastair. Just- just shut up. You're the fucking big fat asshole of Blogland. You stroll in here, suck a few of our true names out, drink a couple beers. But you have never actually "cared" about someone in Blogland. Except for maybe Ari, who you've seemed to go all pedo on. I mean - you have her trapped in your mind.

Ebony Law said...

Zaf. Didn't I kick her head off?

Noelle said...

*throws hands up in the air*

WE'LL LET'S ALL JUST LOSE OUR MINDS THEN

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

I'm a Necromancer what do you think i did? And she's a sucess unlike Thrasher and Scapegrace she's full flesh and blood

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Why would I care about anyone here? Niccolò cared about Aretha, not me, and he's gone now. I'm just having my fun with her- it's almost too easy. I know her too well. There are advantages, it seems, to spending time with people and not killing them.

Ebony Law said...

But she will always be a mere experiment. -looks at Alexis, and kneels down in front of her- Hello, Alexis.

Noelle said...

*steps between him and Alexis* Hey. You need to calm down.

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

Alexis: ALASTAIR YOU POPPY HEAD LET ARETHA GO *throws fireball at*

Alexis dont try to kill him

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

Alexis: what do you want Dwyer? I didnt hurt you and you killed me and Mommy saved me

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*shadow walks down from the tree*

You all need to calm down.
And you- *turns to Alastair* Need to let Ari go.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Death, you can't really hug someone without a physical form. I do hope you're not thick enough to need me to tell you that.

Fireballs won't do anything either, little girl.

Jophiel said...

Dwyer. No swearing. Okay? That goes for you too Adra. There are little kids on here too. My brother has come on here before and I don't want him reading stuff like this.

Ebony Law said...

-glares at Alastair-

Why don't you face me? Why don't you face anyone? You just simply walk around, devastating powers at your fingertips. But you make yourself unable to reach. Mentally and physically. You're just another coward, hiding in the shadows. You won't come out. You'll just stroll through occasionally, using big words and intellectual phrases. Nothing more than that? You, my friend, are a coward.

Jophiel said...

It's the thought that counts!! Hey! If I get a vacuum, will you feel that or get sucked up by it?

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

Alexis: you're a big baby! Baby Alastair! *summons flame and presses against Alastair's stomach*

Noelle said...

Oh Lord.... *sits nearby, biting into an apple* It's about to go down.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Dwyer, you may call me whatever you like. The only thing I'm concerned with is enjoying myself.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*sits next to Adra*
Yup.
*noms Skittles*

Ebony Law said...

I'm not here to hurt you, Alexis. At... At least not anymore. I used to have a daughter, you know? Regan. You remind me so much of her... -leans in and hugs Alexis-

Noelle said...

*steals some skittles* I'll step in when necessary....

*calls* Dwyer, you're gonna get your head blown off!

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

Alexis *hugs back*

*has a hand on Alexis*

Jophiel said...

*Rolls eyes*
I'm just warning you guys: the next one who swears, Hell is going down.

Noelle said...

...Rosie... Really.

Ebony Law said...

I am prepared to fight Alastair if I must. But clearly he will just cower away, replying my questions with an answer that isn't actually an answer. -leaps up to tree, and takes a few Skittles- maybe sh*t will go down between Alexis and Alastair? That would be cute.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*flame goes through stomach* No, that won't work either. Or vaccums.

Would you all prefer that we get all friendly with each other, then? Or that I, I don't know, start another plague? Maybe I could modify cancer, or AIDs, start spreading those. Would you rather I use the 'devastating power at my fingertips' to its full potential? Because I'm tempted, now that you mention it.

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

Alexis: I'm only 10! I mean yeah Daddy has been teaching me how to fight and I know a lot of cool Elemental magic things but going against Alastair? Mommy and Justaria stand a better chance

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

Alastair leave us alone ok? You have no right

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

On second thought Alastair Cruciatus as my authority as Grand Mage you are under areest for kidnapping

Jophiel said...

Dwyer, what is wrong with Hell? Hell will go down!

Ebony Law said...

-looks down at Alistair, my eyes completely black- Go. Ahead.

Noelle said...

And here it comes...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*looks at empty packet of Skittles*
