Would you like a drink or will you be heading straight upstairs as my bar is now temporarily a hotel.
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* No offense, but I don't think your bar is big enough to be a hotel... Wasn't there a house next to this?
Zafira, Javier- please. Keep it PG
Javier: I have. I took her out to dinner and she's just been in a good mood since then. *takes her hand*
Well, pretty much everyone's been using m bed. I live in the loft, it's soooo comfy.
#ChaseForBook9
Then perhaps you should keep some cots in your cellar or something?
Saber, as you may have guessed.
[Frowns slightly]
#ChaseForBook9
*sits down* If i could i'd have a glass of wine
My cellar is for me and me alone. I can't wait for this hurricane to be over, so people won't have to use what is essentially my house as a youth hostel.
#ChaseForBook9
Of course Zaf. Red or White?
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* Fair enough.
*shakes head* not allowed Trip *points to the small bump on my stomach* why else?
*walks in*
*sits on a stool* I'll have a lager.
Oh of course! Silly me!
#ChaseForBook9
*freezes*
#ChaseForBook9
*hisses trying to stop self from hurting Lilth*
Alexis: DEMON *backs away close to Lorelei*
*pauses* Did I miss something?
*looks around* What?
It's the perfume, isn't it?
[Jumps to feet, sword out, glaring fiercely at Lilith]
#ChaseForBook9
*pushes Alexis behind her* Lilith, could you had not have given them just one night of peace?
*shrugs, snapping her fingers, holding out a fiver* Bartender, I asked for service?
And you know how I work, Lorey.
[Frowns slightly, still glaring]
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls* Unfortunately, I do. But I got here first. Isn't that how the rules go?
Sadly, *spins around* I. Don't. Care. *energy sends Lilith flying out the door*
#ChaseForBook9
Get out Lilth
*leaps out the door* Let's take this outside.
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs, straightening her skirt out*
You know, you probably aren't helping her condition! In fact, that probably hurt a lot! Not that I would know- I've adjusted all the pain receptors so that they go to her, not me.
*follows Trip* moron you'll get killed
Friends... Be careful- you don't want to anger her. *runs after them*
[Steps out of the bar with a frown, holding her sword tightly]
#ChaseForBook9
For gods sake just go Lilth im sick and tired of demons, besides Lorelei, jjst GO GET THE HELL OUT OF ADRA YOU ARE TO GOD DAMN COWARDLY TO FACE SHIT ON YOUR OWN SO YOU HIDE BEHIND ADRA
I don't care Zafiara. I just don't.
#ChaseForBook9
Javier; *follows with Alexis* Zaffy you'll geg hurt
*picks up Lilith with rings of energy*
#ChaseForBook9
*swings her head to the side, glaring at Lorey* Lorelei, stay out of this! *gestures with her hand, and Lorelei's mouth disappears*
*gazes levelly at Zafira* How you have changed from earlier- from cool and calm to practically foaming at the mouth. Interesting.
*is seething* You're a coward Lilth. Always will be and you dont have the guts to do shit, just GO *goes up to and shoots in arm*
Hmmm. *looks around her* You do know what I meant, yes? I can't feel a thing- but she can. She feels it, added to the thoughts I put in her head. Do you really want to do this?
*rolls her eyes as her skin moves out of the way, gesturing and the gun goes into her hand*
*points it at Zaf* oh really?
I... I have no choice.
#ChaseForBook9
*Gestures with hand and a sheild goes up around Zaf*
#ChaseForBook9
You dont have the guts.
Alexis: * gestures ripping gun from Lilth* Dont mess with me
Trip leave me be I can take care of myself!
*waves her hand and Alexis falls own, her balance throwing itself off course repeatedly, said to bring nausea*
You know, these things are really helpful...
And I do hope you know what you're doing, Trip. One wrong move, and we're both gone.
[Watches, counting something on fingers and muttering]
((Wbd, my arm is acting up again and I can't type fast right now...))
#ChaseForBook9
Whenever a gun is pointed at you, always be glad of all the things in the way. *plunges angel sword into Lilith's heart*
#ChaseForBook9
LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!! *lunges at Lilth and strangles her*
Alexis: stop8 *is very nasueous* Daddy...*is crying* Make it stop!
*eyes widen* Trip...
*her knees begin to buckle*
*backs away* dont expect me to revive her Trip
*catches Adra*
I'm so sorry Adra...
#ChaseForBook9
A scratch would've done it, eejit.
#ChaseForBook9
I... I think I need a drink...
*rolls eyes and goes by Alexis* hush baby
Alexis: *is crying still*
Javier: Zaf you have to if she dies
Screw them. Adra can stay dead, Trip killed her make him suffer for an hour
*Resists the urge to torture Zaf*
We need to get you to a hospital...
Lorelei?
#ChaseForBook9
[Walks over to Alexis and hands her a very bedraggled-looking stuffed bunny]
It's gonna be fine, okay? We'll all pull through this.
#ChaseForBook9
*goes over to them* move Trip i'll heal her
*steps forward, unable to speak, nodding solemnly*
how cute!
Alexis: *hugs bummy amd Coco close* thank you
NO!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh go shove it Lilth okay?
*clutches at Trip's coat, feeling her heart flutter*
You want her dead or alive Trip? I can heal
*rolls her eyes* You thought that would kill me?
You were close, dear. Too close. But I'm quicker- I lift her body before that sword even went through her.
Javier: just go Lilth she'll die who can you posess now?
Lilith, just stop.
#ChaseForBook9
(([Nods at Death] [Smiles sadly]))
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* I need her alive. You all will heal her for me, bring her back to speed. It's like little minions doing my work for me. *claps*
I'll need her soon, though. So don't take too long.
Just think of that as a test drive. Next time- Lilith. 2.0
Screw. You. Lilth. I think we ought to keep Adra dead then where will little poor stupid demon go? *laughs* nowhere
Whatever Lilith.
#ChaseForBook9
I'll just bring her back. I figured your way is a bit less painful. *glances at her wrist* Thirty seconds.
*shrugs* i dont care you dont hurt me so idc
*laughs*
((I think I'm gonna go until the ibuprofen for my arm kicks in))
((See you all))
#ChaseForBook9
Twenty seconds.
And I think you will care if I hurt her.
*mumbling* I'm sorry Adra...
#ChaseForBook9
*her eyes begin to flutter, breathing sharp, jagged breaths*
*licks her lips* Ten....
Not really Lilth it only hurts Trip so.i could care less
Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
Nine...
And she knows what's wrong with you, Zafira.
Eight...
Seven...
Six...
Five...
FINE!!!
*goes over quickly draws sigils around Adra pours energy into them healing her*
Four...
*gasps, coughing until her eyes begin to water*
Adra! *kneels beside her*
#ChaseForBook9
*collapses to ground* happy demon?
*smiles pleasantly* Now that wasn't too hard, now was it?
*kneels next to Adra* You made a good point, but remember- I know why you hurt.
*whimpers softly* too...much... Energy....
*cackles, disappearing* I'll be back...
Javier: *goes to Zaf* Damn it Zaf!
Owwww
(Msd)
Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
*looks away from the demon at Trip* Thanks...
*squeezes her eyes shut, looking at Zafira* Zaf, control...
*grimaces* I'm right here... You don't have to... Yell
*doesnt move* control...what? Justaria?
Sorry for stabbing you...
#ChaseForBook9
*huffs* No... America- YES *coughs* JUSTIARA
*raises her eyes* You were doing me... A favour. Now... Help me up
Javier: *helps Zaf up* too much energy you used
*nods to Adra* I am trying its hard keeping her at bay! It's like how Alastair could influence Niccolo *stays in Javier's arms*
*helps Adra up then hugs her*
It's good to have you back.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: keep it PG!
*laughs at Alexis*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: nasty people no making babies
Javier: you tell them Alexis
*laughs* Good girl.
*hugs back* Yeah, you have... No idea. *hugs tighter* It was awful...
Being taken over? It sucks least I don't have to deal with Naamah again. Sucked your demon is coming for you again mine wont!
Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
Im barely awake lol so hence my msd
Yeah, thanks Zaf. That really... That really makes me feel better.
Glad it does. I mean not like Naamah can come back eh?
*frowns* I don't understand... Why you're bring so rude
I'm...not entirely sure myself
Javier: Adra she's hormonal what do you expect add Justaria's influence its not all Zaf's fault
That's just excuses, Javier... *shakes her head, before stumbling inside the bar, picking up a blanket to dry off with*
*goes after Adra* I wish I knew...I'm sorry.
Do you want a drink Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah- strongest thing you have that isn't morphine.
*sighs* im sorry Adra i wish I could figure out why im so...bleh
Okay i need sleep. Been long day and im exhausted from my meet night guys
*waves* Night...
That'd be dwarven whisky. *tosses a bottle*
#ChaseForBook9
Night Zaf!
#ChaseForBook9
*catches it, sliding the money over to him, uncorking it and pouring some into a glass* Want some?
No thanks, I'm fine. *pockets cash* That's the first time you've ever payed me.
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes* I have before- you've just never noticed it. There's a reason you got so much when you were gone- most of it was repayment.
*laughs* So? You finally payed your tab eh?
#ChaseForBook9
Yep. 2.5K. I have to say, I'm impressed with myself. Well, that and some of it was, er... the damage
Damage?
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi's right. There are no more strings. They've all been cut. There's no obligation anymore. Not a single need to interaction on Blogland. Puzzling...
*Vanishes and closes the Blogland window*
*Tilts her head to the side* Did you honestly think there wouldn't be?
And, um Rose- um. You may not be connected to us, but we are to you. Sorry about that
*pokes* You feel asleep, didn't you?
*nods* He fell asleep. Well, it is 5 AM... Idiot.
Hello...
[winces]
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
Hi! *Is exhausted from reading fanfic for five hours straight*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi... *is exhausted because... Need sleep*
Right. Trip! If you are seeing this- don't worry. Your bar s safe, and I think we put everything back in the position it was in.
Oh my God, Saph... GREAT timing there
Saph, I've been meaning to ask. For the Shunting collab, do you want to use the Blogland Collaboration account like you did for MC, or is there another email you would like me to invite?
#ChaseForBook9
Trip, I feel that I have to apologise for attempting to burn down your bar to cook Jubabs. I'm pretty sure we fixed everything though :D
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* that wasn't the only time his bar was in peril although I had forgotten when you tried to eat us...
Dark times.
Hi Adra and Fabi!
Adra; what do you mean?
Fabi; Give me one minute, I'll change my profile so that it shows my email address. Can you invite that one?
#ChaseForBook9
[Laughs]
That was rather amusing, actually. :-P
#ChaseForBook9
*trudges upstairs,setting up an un fold able bed*
*curls up inside of it, bringing the blanket tightly around her shoulders*
I'm too tired.. .Sorry...
*sets her drink on the floor and falls asleep*
It was rather fun, although we never got to eat you two. Why did you keep running away from us? We only wanted to cook you and eat you :P
Fabi; Done :)
#ChaseForBook9
Sleep well Adra :)
#ChaseForBook9
OKay, invite sent, Saph.
#ChaseForBook9
Night, Adra [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Fabi, just got it *hugs Adra* See ya!
#ChaseForBook9
Ooh, I'm writing the moment where you die now. :-P
((Writing more of the RP, for the Nameless blog))
#ChaseForBook9
I freaked out for a moment. I keep forgetting that I'm dead *facepalm* At least I found the role-player I switched powers with and got my own ones back :D I DEFINITELY prefer being a Sensitive and an Elemental.
#ChaseForBook9
Wbd, watching anime :D
#ChaseForBook9
Yay for having your own powers again! [tacklehugs]
Heh, I can hug even though I'm dead, but other than that, I've not forgotten. I roleplayed as someone else for a while, though, and I probably will again. Fabi is being really stubborn and doesn't want to be brought back to life but at the same time she does. And I haven't gotten that far in the writing, so I don't need to explain it yet. :-P
#ChaseForBook9
Okay.
Wbd, writing three things at once!
#ChaseForBook9
I'll probably miraculously come back to life when I get bored of floating around as a ghost :) Right now I just can't be bothered.
How're you?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm okay, I suppose. No more cake. D:
You?
Zaf can probably revive you if you're on at the same time she is.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm great, except the school holidays end tomorrow :L It will be good to see some of my friends again tomorrow though :)
#ChaseForBook9
Meh, holidays being over. [Scowls]
I'm on summer! [dances around]
Most of it is fake, though.
#ChaseForBook9
But I have a dance intensive starting Monday (Tuesday for you folks in that side of the International Date Line!), so that'll be fun.
Ironically, my mom views it as work and my summer research projects as vacation. XD
#ChaseForBook9
I'm rubbish at dancing :( Hope you enjoy it. You get summer research projects? Poor you.
It's the middle of winter for me, but the weather's still lovely :D Not quite beach weather though, no matter what Alex thinks...
#ChaseForBook9
My Mom thinks they'll look good on my college application. [Eye roll]
And I will enjoy it. :-) Dance is so much fun for me...
[Laughs]
#ChaseForBook9
I used to do ballet, but then I moved countries and never got up the motivation to find a new ballet group *shrugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Ballet is good, but I think my favorite is Lyrical/Contemporary/Modern (all of which are slightly different, but similar enough for them all to be my favorite. [nods])
I just feel like I can express myself more with that style of dance... Not really sure how to explain it.
#ChaseForBook9
*Nods* my friend does Lyrical and I think it looks amazing, but I'm just more of a words and numbers person.
Not distant anymore, but my internet's being pretty slow :( And I'm distracted by the delicious smells of dinner wafting up the stairs... XD
#ChaseForBook9
[Shrugs] The funny thing is, I'm not as much of a flake in ballet class. I can actually pay attention and have a close to photographic memory when it comes to dance combinations.
I'm a mess when doing research projects, though. :-/
I'm not really sure what that means.
Oops, now I'm writing a poem, too. Where do dreams go when they die?
#ChaseForBook9
And I love watching lyrical dances, too. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
That sounds like a cool poem :) I went through a phase where I wrote poems almost constantly. Most of them were rubbish :)
#ChaseForBook9
I just write what comes out of my mind...
SOMETIMES THERE'S A FAIRYTALE
BUT STERN COLD HARD GREY
REALITY CRASHING TO THE FLOOR
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU CAN'T JUST SAY I HAVE NO HOPE
NO DREAMS, WISHES, POSSIBILITIES
INKLINGS OF CHANCE
I DON'T CARE HOW UNLIKELY.
THAT DREAM IS MINE
AND YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT
BUT YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN
AND NEVER LET IT GO
NOT FOR ANYONE
I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAIRYTALE
A QUILT OF ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS
TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE TRUE
THREADS UNRAVEL, PIECES FALL OFF
BUT I WON'T LET YOU TEAR WHAT'S LEFT
SHATTER-SHARD-SPIRALING TOWARDS
AN UNKNOWN PLACE
WHERE DO DREAMS GO WHEN THEY DIE?
OUT THE WINDOW? INTO THE VOID?
BUT MY DREAM WON'T GO THERE
NOT WITHOUT DRAGGING ME ALONG
AND IF WE GO DOWN
IT'LL BE SOMEONE
TOUGHER, MEANER, GREENER
HARSHER, HARDER, SMARTER
WHO PUSHES THE PILE OF
HOPES DREAMS WISHES
PIECES OF WHAT WAS
AND UNFINISHED PROJECTS
ONTO IT'S FACE
IT WON'T BE YOU
DEAL WITH IT
((So far))
#ChaseForBook9
Also, I'm sure they weren't rubbish. Everyone's poetry is different, and you can't compare it to the person next to you.
#ChaseForBook9
... It's beautiful :') The line at the end made me laugh :D
(Sorry it took so long for me to reply, my internet was sulking)
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Saph [hugs]
[Laughs as well]
I'm not sure if that was the point. [Considers]
There's no reason not to laugh at it, though. It is a rather amusing line.
And whatever you get out of a poem is your own perspective.
I like perspectives...
Anyway, thanks. [hugs again]
(It's okay)
#ChaseForBook9
The girl with one red eye and one purple eye walked up to the man with hair as black as night.
They had a quick conversation and then both left in a hurry.
A few minutes later, three men in black suits walked in. they all had guns concealed on their person.
The men looked around but obviously didn’t find what they were looking for, because they left soon after.
Kayla Tyler observed all this from her seat in the corner of the bar. She thought it over slowly as she sipped her coke, then she, too, left.
hello, hello, hello,all!!!
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
Hi Snow! [hugs]
Msd, sleepy.
#ChaseForBook9
*is hugged*
i felt like making a dramatic entrence *shrugs*
Hello Alex.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Snow! Hi Alex! *tackleglomps*
Alex, you haven't changed your surname from Stone, have you? Or do you just happen to have a common name?
#ChaseForBook9
-drops from tree in a pair of black skinny jeans, wearing a dark red sweater and a black long coat-
SAPH!!! *huggles*
'ello!
Well, you did a nice job of it, Snow.
Different Alex.
#ChaseForBook9
Snow, you're dead too? So now there's three ghosts on Blogland? XD
#ChaseForBook9
First? Oh. Ok.
Fabi; Thanks :)
#ChaseForBook9
i... i dont think i am actually dead... more.... spiritually lost...
yeah, i just didn't know what was going on, so i said i was dead to make things easier
I still have a ded to do from a couple pages ago...
Since it's already late, I may make a video... Or maybe not.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh.
[Ghosthugs Saph and Snow]
#ChaseForBook9
YAY FOR GHOSTS!!!
also for stress TARDISes.... (like stress balls, but TARDIS shaped)
h-hello...??
why is no one talking????
[Waves]
I don't much like being dead, actually. It's making FabiTC question a lot of things.
#ChaseForBook9
I dedicate this page to words. They make up so much of our society and minds. Some people are good with words, and they flow from their mouths like music. Some people stutter and try, but can never find the words they need. Words are the sharpest weapons you have, and if you can use them right, words can do anything. They can break your heart into a million tiny, stinging pieces, but they can also put it back together again. They can save a life, start a friendship, or stop us from feeling quite so incredibly alone.
Words show us other people's minds and views and emotions. They let us interact, communicate, express our emotions out loud and clearly. Some words will inspire us to do incredible things, or make the right decision when it matters the most.
Words write stories, expressing your imagination. They write love letters, sent across a thousand miles. They send chills down our spine and inspire awe. But the stories they right aren't always fictional. The most important words you ever use form the story of you- your friends and enemies, likes and dislikes, hardships and moments of such pure happiness you don't know what to do. Only you can say your words, and they mean something different to each of us. Words make our hearts sing and our souls flight. They let us explore the furthest corners of our imagination.
Words have recorded history. Without them we would have no idea what happened before us. It's hard to get your head around how different the world would be without words. No school. No books. No TV. Maybe even no internet. They've shaped our world, and us, too. Use your words, set them free from our mind and let them fly into the air. The words we leave unspoken haunt us for the rest of our lives. Seize the moment and speak, because words are the most powerful thing ever created.
I also dedicate this page to those things there are no words for. The magic of stars in the sky, or a beautiful sunset. Emotions that make your heart want to burst. But what makes us human is that we don't need words for those things. We can understand.
(*Sees Snow and Fabi's comments* Yeah, I'll ded to ghosts too ;D)
#ChaseForBook9
*nods*
but being a ghost is good in some aspects...
i was trying to spook alexis out the other day.
*Stories they write
#ChaseForBook9
Amazing ded, Saph. [hugs]
Veryverymsdnow.
