First of all, this is a cat (Pooper) who has just discovered that the small sitting room has been housing a rather large snake for the past few weeks, while Laura and her sister try to figure out what to do with it. Pooper, as you can see, is quite wary.
It was at this point that I started taking random shots of the room, and a thought occurred to me: "Aha!" this thought said. "I have your new blog post!"
I'll give a proper guided tour of my house at some later stage — probably once my extension is built — but for the moment, here is what greets you when you walk through my front door....
Naturally I have the posters for the movies I've written on prominent display...
... and of course I have what EVERYONE has in their halls: a severed foot in a glass case.
Now then, to the office!
I'm not going to show you the ACTUAL office (the ACTUAL office is really very messy at this moment in time) so I'm going to show you some of the things I have on the shelves. Such as these gentlemen...
Plus a little Evil Dead...
... and some Marvel folk hanging around...
And let us not ignore Star Wars...
... or zombies...
And here, tucked away on their own little shelf, Skulduggery and Vampirella. Just chillin'.
(That Skulduggery is a pretty rare promotional item my German publishers had made... It's not for sale anywhere except MAYBE eBay.)
And now, to the main living room. I'm not gonna show you everything, but this is the room I had designed and rebuilt as a live-in museum. The extension, if I ever get around the designing it, will be built specifically to house this stuff. Because it makes me happy.
And here it is, the suit I love to talk about... as worn by Christopher Reeve.
I do NOT dress up in this. I swear I don't.
Although if someone wanted to photoshop my head onto this mannequin, I would not object.

I dedicate this page to killing characters off. I fibally understand why you do it, Derek. I also ded to Derek's kitty Pooper and the snakey! Oh and to the Tadra child.
Tom: erm...
ParaSnow: *glares*
ahem....
*all three look at their shoes awkwardly*
(... Tadra have a kid...? *Does random fangirly dance and dies* Hear hear!!!))
Random shady figure: *self and Mevolent both disappear*
#ChaseforBook9
((Tadra have a KID!?!? YESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!! *joins deathy's dance*))
Alexis: Rose! *coughs* Momma her shadows aren't moving....
((Snow, it's so funny!! *tries not to laugh too much because people are sleeping*))
#ChaseForBook9
((No! Alter universe PARADRIP))
((So Adra when are you due?))
((Death, I think your face shape is sort of similar to Emilie Autumn's. Just thought I'd say so because I keep thinking about it.))
#ChaseforBook9
((aw...))
*gestures* i might just... *walks out door*
*ParaSnow looks like she might hit Tom*
*before ParaSnow hits him, Tom Kisses her*
Tom: sorry...
((I just need to see Niccolò's facial expression when somekne says Mevolent killed Zaf I do I need to have a good laugh....Zaffy is offcially dead guys!))
((Unlike you it probably will be quite a while, but it probably won't matter?))
*hears ParaSnow and Tom making out*
ick...
*strolls away*
*see's zaf, death and alexis*
*hides and watches*
((Who says I am expecting? ZafTC cant get knocked up there isnt a willing guy in the equation...now Zaf in LSODM mmmm well Vex is good looking))
((ZAF!! ew...))
g2g, bye!! *huggles all*
(*Hugs Ari* She's really good, I was listening to her the other day... Thanks...))
*Runs over to Alexis and puts two fingers on Zaf's neck, looking for a pulse* Crap... *Purses lips and draws several symbols on Zaf's arm and hand* Kid, do you trust me?
((Bye Snow!))
Alexis: somewhat though you probably best take her to the Sanctuary...
(*Huggles Zaf* I got so angry when that bit came on... You know why, right?
Bye Snow!!))
lol, Wow, Derek... That's really brilliant.... I love the Wolverine and Hulk heads right next to each other. Totally awesome...
Also, your cat looks almost like my cat, Zoe, named after a particular character in Firefly. Zoe is like a cat shaped black hole.... with eyes.
((Probably though I forgot))
Well, I don't trust me at all. And where's the nearest Sanctuary...? I don't know if there is one for a while... *Activates the symbols on Zafira's arm and deep purple light flows under her skin* So far, so good. Someone remind Zaf to trust me with sigils next time I go insane!
Alexis: what are you doing to her? Rose if she wakes her whole leg is burnt she'll be in a lot of pain
(Descriptions... What a certain character said about your looks... *Fumes with jealousy*))
((Hi Skyril! Bye Snow!
...Should I narrate all the things my characters are doing on their own? Since, you know, we're pretty much all doing that?))
#ChaseforBook9
That's what this symbol is for! *Points to a funny looking swirl on Zaf's wrist* It takes pain away, I've tried it on myself before and it works. Oh, I'm giving her some strength back before we get Javier to start CPR.
((Well you can bring anyone over if you want....Niccolò is almost out of time really Ari I said today he has until 9:30pm for that Nafira moment))
*goes over to the couch, sitting in front of the television, sitting down in front of it, turning on a program* *watches quietly*
(Deathy don't have a clue... If you want to narrate everything, you can!!))
Alexis: Daddy went poof! He left the moment Mevolent did...
(~whispers~ So we're talking in parenthesis because discussion Not in parenthesis means we're doing... an action?)
Well, no offence but I'm not going to kiss her. I'll to the compressions. *Purses lips* Do you know your dad's number?
(We're in roleplay parenthesees means out of character none means in character))
Oh, this is my gmail account... I usually just log on with blogger. Actually, I'm gonna switch. Uno momento.
(More like when it's in brackets it's talking outside the RP and not in brackets is the RP)
Alexis: No he wont answer...he hates Momma he'll let her die
(BUT ITS A KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
*a cat jumps up* *gasps* JESUS! *hugs* Hello Lena
Godamn, I'm gonna kill that man. *Purses lips and the purple glow fades slowly*
*Talks quietly to myself* It's to save a friends life... You're doing it. *Starts CPR of Zaf*
Ah, I see... But if it's your character, wouldn't anything you say be in character?
*after a few you feel a small pulse on Zaf enough to show she's alive but just barely*
(But talking in these is just to get information or point something out.
i.e. Alexis, Zafira didn't actually die... Yeah? So she can come back...?))
*nuzzles the cat* Lena... You're still alive here
((Well, it's more like in and out of roleplay. And then you have people like me, who are speaking for multiple muses at once. So in parenthises means it's just me conversing outside of the roleplay.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Zaf was almost dead another minute she'd be dead but her whole left side is burnt horribly))
Thank God... *Smiles and keeps doing compressions on Zafira's chest* If you don't bloody wake up, Zafira, I'm going to bloody kill you... Don't tempt me, babe. I will. You. Will. Bloody. Wake. Up.
*lays down, cuddling the kitten next to her* *scratches it's head*
(God damn... If Niccolò was to arrive at any moment... *Hint hint* ))
Alexis, can you go run to my base and grab out all the medical supplies in the blue cupboard for me, darling? *Hands start shaking as she does her compressions*
(Ok... I guess I understand. It's like... if you were played D&D, you would talk to the people in the game, as your character, but you would converse with the people you're playing with in real life... as yourself.)
*wakes up slowly seeing Rose and appears in shock*
Alexis: *tries to speak in Niccolò's mind* Hey Coco can you hear me? Mevolent nearly killed Momma and Rose did CPR
(Yeah! There we go!! *Hugs Skyril* Haven't seen ya in yonkers!!))
*begins to drift off asleep, still cuddling the cat*
Alexis: *goes to get aupplies coming back with them*
((Niccolò: Why is that a hint?))
Niccolò: *in Alexis' mind* I happen to be somewhat preoccupied at the moment... Is she alright?
#ChaseForBook9
God damn it Zaf! *Curses again and hides the tears rolling down her face* Damn it!! *Stands up and closes eyes tightly* God damn it Zaf...
(No kidding, Rose. :] How're you?)
((Rose I was hoping he would have given CPR the little bastard is hiding))
((Aww, kitty!! *rubs face into kitty* Night, Adra!))
#ChaseForBook9
((Niccolò: Oh. That's why. Nevermind, then.))
#Chaseforbook9
~walks by all of a sudden, wondering what's going on~
Alexis: *in his head* when you say alright define that because she just lost consiousness again and her whole left side of her body is burnt...Mevolent set the tree house on fire and a dynamite tree hit her and knocked her out cold
(*Bursts out laughing* Sorry! Never mind! I just didn't think Zaf was going to wake up... And then we'd need you to come along and save the day!! ))
*Takes the supplies from Alexis gratefully* Thank you so much, babe. *Pours liquid in Zafira's burnt leg and it starts to heal slowly. Begins to wrap up her leg*
Niccolò: *in Alexis' mind* Do you know that she'll live?
#ChaseForBook9
(I'm good! My arms hurt from doing pull ups yesterday and my wrists... They still hurt... Otherwise, I'm grand!! Yourself?
Heh, Niccolò is hiding and forced me to... YOU OWE ME ONE CROATOAN!!!
Night Addy!!))
Alexis: *in Coco's head* No i don't I think she breathed too mich smoke and a lot more...
((He has 3min for that Nafira moment then skmone garden shear him)
*Slaps Zafira's face and yells* GOD DAMN IT ZAFIRA KERIAS!! DONT YOU DARE LEAVE US!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR DAUGHTER!? HUH!? I LOST MY MOTHER WHEN I WAS LITTLE AND I REFUSE TO LET YOU DO THE SAME TO ALEXIS!!! ZAFIRA!! WAKE UP!! *Starts openly crying*
(Are we in RP atm?)
Rose... -kisses- -looks at your wrists, deciding to forget about it-
*doesnt budge* ((hmm to go to bed or not to?
(Rose, I'm good. :] My birthday is tomorrow. :3 My mom made a cake. I'm sorry, though, because I missed HB online. :/ I got on too late... otherwise, good :]....
So, I know it's probably a lot to update, but... what IS going on when we're... in character?)
*Looks like she is about to kick Zaf but sits back down and pours some silver liquid into her mouth*
((Niccolò: Zafira, I would think that by now you might understand I do not respond well to threats. Well, it might be more accurate to say I do not respond at all to threats. And I do happen to have my own emotions...))
Niccolò: *appears by Zafira, somewhat out of breath, with several deep scratches in various places and a badlly burnt face, all in the process of healing themselves* *lays a hand on Zafira's shoulder and heals, ridding her of some burns and clearing her lungs of smoke* That's all I can do for the moment. Stay in touch, please. *steps back and vanishes again*
#ChaseforBook9
(Hiya, Connor Ricochet. Pleasure to make your acquaintance... Nice username. ~shakes hand~ ~gives purple lollipop~)
*Looks at Connor sadly then back down at Zaffy* Hey...
(HB was on...? God damn... Happy birthday for tomorrow!!))
-shakes hand- Well, that name is about to change. It's starting to bore me. And I'm gonna start writing again soon. I haven't written anything for almost a year. So I need a new name. The first name needs to have one syllable in it...
((There was a parallel universe. Their world was dying, so they made portals and tried to come into ours. Then the portals broke, so some of our people are trapped over there, and some of their people are trapped over here. That's the premise of the plot. Currently, Mevolent messed up a ton of stuff. And that's about it.))
#ChaseforBook9
((You. Owe. Me. Before October 11th please seriousky?))
*opens eyes able to actually breath* owww
Msd ;(
*Wipes her tears away and stares at Zaf* God damn you Zafira Kerias. *Hugs Connor tightly and buries my face in his chest*
((Niccolò: Apparently I owe quite a few people now. Is that a normal occurrence among friends, or am I merely an exception?))
#Chaseforbook9
How...am...I...alive?
(My friends owe me heaps and I owe them heaps, it's normal.))
(Rose, online, but not here.)
(Connor, you are with names the way am with computer backgrounds. How about... Jack. Jack might be overused though.
Port
Nate
Gate
Drake
Steve
Reeves
Grief
Griff
Smith
Whist
Dart
Ray
Gray
Keith
Bane)
*Speaks into Connor's chest* Because I got you from the treehouse and did CPR and Niccolò came along and healed you...
(God damn...))
((Its normal Niccolò but please before October 11th I am going to beg you...or let me meet John Smith))
(Too Many Charaters, do you have a name? Thanks for updating me!)
(That's Aretha Tesla!))
((Oh dear... ANOTHER name?? Gracious... 0.0
*walks away slowly* I'm just going to assume we dropped the Dwyer/Alex thing?))
Ah...*closes eyes again* thank you Rose thank you Niccolò...*is asleep*
I got to go....night guys
((I'm Aretha. And also Niccolò. We're operating out of the same account, currently, because we only have one iPad and we can't make accounts for every character coming and going. It was no trouble!))
#ChaseforBook9
I do like those names. But I need something more... original. Something that blends in. Something that blends in way too much it's kind of weird. But then again, people who say that I am weird to my face will get their windpipe taken out.
No, Adra. Chrome, Gauntlet and Dwyer all exist, and they will remain in existence
(Night Zaf! *Huggles*)
I'm sorry Connor... *Starts banging her head lightly on Connor's shoulder* I'm an idiot... I'm always an idiot...
((Night Zaf!
Weird isn't bad. It just means you're different. I like people who are different. They're more fun, and more unique.))
#ChaseforBook9
So.... Stuck to their minds FOREVER???
Yup. Forever.
And Rose, don't worry about it. I understand. But yes, it was stupid.
... *Looks down and pouts* I still did it, though... *Reaches up and kisses Connor softly* I'm still sorry...
NOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooOoooooooooOOOOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOoooOoOO
And here comes the silence...
Sorry, I'm doing homework at the same time
((0.0 You apologized. *hugs Death tightly*
Sorry, it's just, my characters are doing things elsewhere. So I don't really have anything to say at the moment.))
#ChaseForBook9
Damn... I did... I said I wasn't going to but I did... I'm amazingly stupid...
And I'm distant. Because I'm eating ice cream, and I'm playing Far Cry 3. Really good game.
Heh, I'm eating breakfast... Of pasta...
*casually has a cold*
*casually wants to throw a television set out of the window from said cold*
*values the television more than to do that*
*throws air out the window*
*Hugs Adra*
((Ohmygosh, that''s actually a really good idea. I'm going to start throwing air out of windows.))
#ChaseforBook9
*whut*
((OH but I took this picture of myself earlier... :0 and I edited my eyes and I look REALLY COOL. CAN I SHOW YOU GUYS WPULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SEEING IT?
I would!!!! *Holds up pasta*
(Ari!! Coco is so cute!!!!!!!!!!! Like, my Coco!!!)))
((I want to see!
Coco is adorable!!!!))
#ChaseForBook9

((Literally though- black and white photos, man. THEY WORK WONDERS ;D
HI COCO! *waves*))
((*o* Cool))
#ChaseForBook9
Coco has started barking, meaning she is speaking in doggie language...
*barks back* *hugs kitten*
(Hey, guys! So sorry for disappearing!)
(Hey, we had this little face-off short story writting comp, and there were two short stories, but we need people to vote on them! Would y'all mind voting reading them and voting real quick?? I would appreciate it! SPG-unitedtowrite.blogspot.com)
*Coco starts chasing her tail, yapping loudly*
That's okay, Skyril!!
Ok... did I scare everyone away?
*shakes her head no, then slowly drifts off again, falling asleep*
lol, Ok, I'm'a go. I'll probably see y'all tomorrow!
Pretty please check out that link, read the two really short short stories and vote! :D
~hugs~
Farewell!
((Heh. Sorry. I'm very different. Wait, no, I meant distant. And tired, apparently. But I might write a nameless chapter before I go to sleep. Or try to. Anyway, you can all safely assume that I'm gone now... Night everyone. *hugs all*))
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry!! I got caught writing and then fell over because I felt light-headed!! Sorry!!
Night my Americans!!
[Looks around Blogland]
Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Fabulous!! *Hugs* I look eighteen now... Stupid awesome makeup...
Msd
I look fourteen, apparently. I'm not wearing make-up.
Hi Deathy! [hugs]
I might start to, um, babble on and on about things. I just need to keep talking. Or writing. Or both.
#ChaseForBook9
I still have the page from earlier today to ded, so here you go.
I dedicate this page to the things we often overlook, to people who are always there for us, to the blessings we have but don't always see, and to wherever you are at home (including, but not limited to your place of residence).
I'd planned on writing a long speech... I still might. Idk, probably not.
#ChaseForBook9
Hear hear!!
[hugs Deathy] How're you song?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm good.. Sore... But good... Yourself?
Mm. I think I'm getting better.
#ChaseForBook9
*Hugs* Fabi has to get better. If Fabi doesn't, Deathy is going to be angry...
Fabi is trying to get better. [Nods and hugs Deathy back]
She has a cool pine cone from Montana. [Nods]
#ChaseForBook9
Msd.
Mom's trying to force me to eat pie. I think the universe is upside down.
#ChaseForBook9
*convince
Not force, really...
#ChaseForBook9
Can I tell you how satisfying it is to have 15652 words on a document from a total of a weeks work?
That's awesome, Sparky.
#ChaseForBook9
I really need to get back to writing...
#ChaseForBook9
You forgot your wall sized TV, Derek.
It's so insanely satisfying.
IVY
*le tackle*
Hello Val!

[Pulls out a purple carrot and continues to slash at thin air and sometimes you two, if you get in my way]
[Bares teeth and growls]
#ChaseForBook9
Tassie is great, as always. it is hot here, about 25 degrees C
*noms carrot*

((I am. You?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, it's 25 here too... I got sunburnt... :D
[Pulls out another carrot and dips it in poison]
[Moves it lightning-fast, and would be ripping an opponent to shreds if the carrot was sharp and if there was an opponent standing there.]
#ChaseForBook9
NZ's okay. The whole country is obsessed with the americas cup.
And I mean, literally, everyone
Its kind of scary actually
*laughs at fab*
