Some of you may have heard that a copy or two of LSODM have been sold, despite the embargo. This is, unfortunately, true.
Eight copies were mistakenly sent out ahead of schedule, to the big Forbidden Planet store in London. All eight were immediately sold. No one at Forbidden Planet is to blame, and no one who bought a copy is to blame.
I will only ask those who DID buy a copy to keep it to themselves. I'm asking them not to post spoilers and not to even HINT at anything that happens. I'm pretty confident nothing will leak, because you guys are all really good about this sort of thing, but I need to make sure.
And also, for those eight people out there who now own a copy... I hope you enjoy it.

*Just showed WarZone Alex's ded* *Is being very girly at the moment*
*frowns, but stays still*
*shakes her head sadly*
Every person against my mother wants to hurt ME. I ask Niccolo to train me so I can defend myself he says no. I swear he's afraid to train me. Trip said yes but he has a girlfriend to deal with and my parents have Olivia! *kicks rock* I try to take my safety seriously. I do.
Bob: Aye, but he'll miss it when it's gone, I can assure ye! *laughs* Any way, it's the parent's dilemma. Either they let you make massive mistakes and let you learn the hard way, or they jeopardise their own relationship with you by trying to tell you what they've learned through their experience. It's a tough choice, I can tell ya, and there's no right answer.

[Flute music echoes from somewhere vaguely nearby]
((Sorry I poofed earlier, things.))
((By things, I mean defeating an ice cream truck (well, more of an ice cream golf cart) full of evil ninjas. [nods]))
#ChaseForBook9
*reaches out her hand* Alexis... Come back here
Alexis, try being a daughter of a general of war. I only got kidnapped twice. And one of those times I got tortured. It really doesn't hurt that bad. I'll train you if you'd like. Nothing too big, just some basics. *Shrugs*
OMG Fabi. *hugs*
That's awesome. *enjoys music*
Trip is a busy man. Whenever he manages to save the world, the gets one, maybe two days off before he's back at it again. I'm sorry to hear about him not having' time to train ye'. I'll have a chat to him about it.
#ChaseForBook9
*goes to Adra*
*pats the seat next to her* Sit down, Alexis.
*sits next to* Yes?
*stands and watches*
#ChaseForBook9
*Shrugs* Whatever. One time deal kid. *Walks up tree and hangs upside down on branch* *Goes slightly dizzy as all the blood rushes to her brain*
Hi Fabi! That's awesome!
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs back]
Hi Adra, Death, Alexis, Trip, anyone else who is here.
#ChaseForBook9
HAI FABI! *Flips and hangs upside down on branch again*
*takes her hands* I know you're very frustrated right now- as you very well should be, and I am it blaming you anyway. I understand. Children are often not listened to as much because they are so young, experienced- but children are sometimes smarter than we adults are. We are only concerned about your crush on Niccolo- there is always the difference between being mentally ready and emotionally. I suggest you wait a few years until you seriously consider dating. Dating in general, actually. *plays with a strand of her hair, braiding it*
You don't want to grow up too fast, Alexis. When you get older you will miss this energy, this youth that you have. You will want more time... You have a whole life ahead of you, don't be in a rush to finish it.
As for the Ball- we can get you in. Never worry.
And your parents- they are very busy people and you know you can come see me whenever you want, right? *squeezes her hands*
HI DEATH
[Offers ice cream to anyone who isn't busy]
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *smiles* I really hope so. I just want to dance with Niccolo and I understand a lot more then I am credited for. I just well I know I'm young and it feels like its forever.
Same here Alexis. Well, not necessarily, I may be off saving something or other, but when I'm around.
Bob: *shouts* As,e ere lass!
#ChaseFprBook9
I know. And if you ask nicely, I'm sure he'd dance with you.
Is it weird that I don't really care if I die? I'm talking to WarZone about it and I don't really care. If I die, I die. Simple. Easy. I could go hugs Jeff the Killer and shrug it off. Easy.
No it isn't, actually.
I feel the same- I wouldn't say not care, more that I have accepted it
Alexis: I hope. I really do. Maybe when I am older he'll notice me. I really hope so.
I'm at peace with death, Death, if that's what you mean?
#ChaseFodprBook9
Well.
That is, if another boy doesn't catch your eye. *grins, winking, shakily getting to her feet, forcing a smile, offering a hand to Alexis* do you like horses?
No, I mean I could go jump off a cliff and shrug it off. I wouldn't care if I died...
^Sorry... I'm in a weird mood right now...
Alexis: *takes Adra's hand* Yes I do!
Okay... *hugs*
[Shrugs]
I don't know about weird.
#ChaseForBook9
Good! *shakily goes to the ladder, climbing down to the lab far below* Follow me!
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
Same, Death.
I'm in a weird mood too. If I died rn, I would be okay with that. I wouldn't care.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *follows Adra down very excited* Where are we going?
*hugs both tightly* Please don't die
*Hugs Fabi back*
*hits the floor, out of breath* *Grins* Stables!
I made a blood oath not to die until I've met all of you. *Smiles* I promised. And there is no way in Hell I'm going to break that.
Alexis: oooh good!!!
[hugs Mara, too]
#ChaseForBook9
*sits, looking at the stars*
#ChaseForBook9
Good, Rose.
*calls back up at Trip* YOU COMING, BABE?
*Sings One Man Drinking Games softly*
Sure, why not? *freefalls off the side then flies into the stable*
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs, leading Alexis along* Come on!
Power is flickering...msd. And dinner is soon.
But I'm gonna try joining the roleplay as not-dead me.
Um... What's happening?
Besides the whole giving Alexis dating advice part, because I can't be of much help with that.
#ChaseForBook9
*Looks down and sings*
And you said it would be funny to keep me hanging in suspense
Then I'd run over to your house and I'd scale the chainlink fence
That borders your back yard and then I'd climb through your window
And I'd whisper that I love you as you fall out of your clothes
And we'd lay there in the darkness like this dream of you I had
Where we captured all the fireflies and knew what time we had
Could be counted on our fingertips and that almost made you cry
you let me hold you tightly as we said all our goodbyes
May I say I loved you more
May I say I loved you more
And it must have been and hour that I clutched you in my arms
And I must have said the right things because you instantly felt warm
And you heard my heart stop beating and you wanted not to cry
As your sympathetic whispers, they told a tale of bad goodbyes
And you swore you saw me laughing and I swore I saw you smile
And this time we've spent together is meant to last us quite a while
As I take this piece of you with me, I'll carry to my grave
Knowing that for someone you're an angel sent to save
(Keep breathing my angel, if you go down I go with you)
May I say I loved you more
(Keep breathing, just keep breathing)
(Keep breathing my angel, if you go down I go with you)
May I say I loved you more
(Keep breathing, just keep breathing)
So let's drink to memories we shared
Down one for all the hopes and cares
Here's two for being unaware that you're gone
Because before too long you'll be a memory
So let's drink to memories we shared
(Because before too long you'll be a memory)
Down one for all the hopes and cares
(Because before too long you'll be a memory)
Here's two for being unaware that you're gone
(I said before too long you'll be a memory)
I said before too long you'll be... *Sighs*
Um... Em and Deacon and Drew.... It's hell, Arden. Hell.
*claps sadly for Rose*
((Zaf??)
*Blushes and looks away*
Alexis: where do we go now?
Hell.
Wb Death.
#ChaseForBook9
[Grimaces]
Lovely. Just...lovely.
#ChaseForBook9
Actually, I might go to bed. Yeah.
Night all!
#ChaseForBook9
Night Trippy!
Wait- what, Trip??
*tacks up a beautiful red horse for Alexis and her and a sleek black one for Trip*
*pulls them both out*
Aha
*hugs* Night!
:l Who needs sleep
Night Trip... *Falls back gently and watches the sky* *Sighs*
Alexis: So I just go on the horse? I never rode before
Ooh... I'll be back on later!! Bye!! (LIKE 60MINS)
Night, Trip.
I'm going to go as well. Because if I start to do anything interesting, the power will go out.
Au revoir
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* Goodbye, Arden!
*untacks the black horse, leading the other out*
Right, I'm going to lift you up onto the saddle, then I'm sitting behind you, okay? Don't worry about her moving- she's really nice to small people aka: you and me
Alexis: ok...*looks nervous* I dunno how to ride a horse
*grins* don't be nervous- horses are very empathic and can feel them. Lucie here won't buck you or anything. And I will be sitting right behind you, so don't fret
Alexis: okay *still looks a little unsure* help me up
*picks her up, holding her high enough so she can sit on the saddle, before hooking her feet in one of the stirrups and swings herself up, Lucid shifting nervously*
*takes the reins*
*points to a doorknob type thing on the saddle*
Put your feet in your pair of stirrups and hold onto that handle.
Alexis: *does as Adra asks* Okay now what?
Now... *sighs, putting a hand on her arm* calm down. Lucid is getting antsy. I won't let you get hurt.
*takes the reins, bumping up until her head is up, and gently nudges her as she steps forward*
Alexis: *calms down looking more excited now*
*kicks the horse, clicking her teeth, and she takes off in an easy trot*
*grins*
Alexis: woah this is so cool!
*grins* For this next one, you need to really lean back, make sure you are seated on the saddle, okay?
Alexis: okay! I feel seated...*leans back*
*makes a kissing noise, kicking and turning the horse's head to the side and she takes off in canter*
*leans back in the saddle as the horse goes faster in a surprisingly smooth step*
Alexis: *giggles happily*
*they go around for about an hour before they come back to the stable*
*looks around her shoulder* Have fun?
hello?
Hi snow!

Akexis: i had an AWESOME time!!
:P

*jumps off the house then helps Alexis down* *breathes out, rubbing her stomach* well that took a lot out of me- but I'm glad you had fun! Why don't you go back to the lab and cool off while I untack Lucie?

*pretends to be innocent*
Alexis: okay! *goes to the lab waiting for Adra*
*closes the stall floor*
*lays in the grass in a ball*
*cries*

*goes and sits next to adra*
*sobs* Go away

*lays back*
*goes to Adra* hey come here whats up?

Vinette: So can I meet Alastair?
Me: no. Just no.
*kneels by* Adra calm. Speak.

*hidesunderthegrasswithadra,no,idontknowwhyiamnotusingspaces*

*rolls up to adra*
*creepy huggles under grass*

Alexis: hi!

Goodbye, Snow...
*shakes her head* I'm not telling. *hides under her blanket* Leave me to my misery
But if you tell us then we can help :)
You always are miserable. *sits on floor* wait *shadow walks and comes back with Olivia*
No, you can't.
*stiffens* Oh God...
Memories? *holds the very happy little one*
Olivia: *crawls away from Momma towards Adra*
*backs away from Olivia, her eyes widening* Zafira... Why are you doing this?
*picks up Olivia* she's my baby why would i not go get her?
*backs up against the bar counter* But... But- *stutters, falling silent*
Olivia is a child, she had no control over what Naamah did to her or me. *feels Olivia shaking* you've frightened her
I haven't... *laughs nervously* I've frightened her? Naamah isn't the reason wh-why....
Whats wrong Adra? What did Olivia do wrong?
*stoors backward, closing her eyes, tears coming from her eyes* N-nothingg
Something is wrong, tell me.
You already know... *moves towards the ladder*
No I dont Adra no I dont
Please don't make me explain this again, Zaf...
*Returns humming Miserable at Best*
Oh...is it...oh. *just hugs Olivia closer*
*nods, hiding her face in her blanket*
((Hi Rose!))
*Leaps up to a tree and hangs upside down*
(Hi Addy!!))
Adra I dont know what to do...I know Alexis is working on surpressing memories but I cannot myself
How are you?
I'm grand! Just 'made out' with a doll for CPR
*snaps her head up* I don't want to forget. Never. That would be in insult to him.
NOOOOOOO *gives Rose dedding rights* I don't want.
Lol CPR...
Adra I...*sighs* I dont know what you want!
*Sings* Katie don't cry I know
You're trying your hardest
But the hardest part is letting go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling
And you know it's haunting
But compared
To your eyes
Nothing shines
Quite as bright
And when we look to the sky
It's not mine...
... But I want it so...
I already told you, Zaf. I want you to leave me be.
Fine! *shadow walks with Olivia*
Alexis: *sits by Aunt Adra* do I have to go too?
Nah, I was just having a little bet with a certain person who shall remain nameless... *Throws up ded rights in the air* Geronimo!
*shakes her head, still looking forward* Not if you don't want to... You can take DED rights if you want
BOB STOLE MY COOKIE AGAIN!
*raises glass*
Gah!! That is awkward!! Luna! Away!!
*nods*
Alexis: *looks sad at the ded* something ill never experience
You're eleven- you hardly know that
*Adds to ded*
And to smuggling little Alexis into the Requiem Ball! We will do it!!
Alexis: will the Golden God come you think? I always wanted to meet him! *smiles at the addition* Hell yes!
No one tell Luna about what that ded said!!!
DEATHY I'M GONNA KILL YOU WHY DID YOU DELTE THE COMMENT AND CLOSE THE BLOG PAGE!
Mist: *Goes demon form* *Sits on me*
Me: GET OFF ME I HAVE SOMEONE TO KILL!
Mist: No.
Me: SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT SHE POSTED!
She dedicated to you Luna
Good deal, Rose!
*slinks down the ladder to the lab*
I.. I need sleep.
You do Adra
*Hugs Zaffy*
*lays down on her couch next to a fire* Alexis... Go ahead home, your mom will be waiting for you
