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.

CHIONE! :) *hugs back*
Naturally forgetting to add the whole "Oh! Awesome looking living space, your Golden Landiness. *grins*" :P
But yeah. Awesome stuff, Derek. :)
*eyes her picture.* I think I'm gonna return to the previous, now. *nods*
BUT HI.
#ChaseForBook9
NJ!! I haven't seen you since Hos knows when!! *Huggles*
I'm asleep... I hope... Staying up for... 24+24= 48+48= 96 hours is so overrated...
*mumbles* Derek seems to be a little obsessed with comics and stuff...
Don't question God. If you do... Well... I guess you question God... But the fact remains, don't question God.
Sleeeeeeep, Deathy! [Sings a lullaby]
Moon says hi, says sleeeepy time
Sun says bye bye, sleepy time
Stars in the sky say sleepy time
Sleeeeeeeeepy Deathy sleep
I'm trying to set up the picture, Mith!
#ChaseForBook9
Hm... Did I really question the Golden God? Oh... seems like I did... Well... *shrugs* Can't help, I've already said it.
*grins at Fabi* I'm curious!!
Hey Fabi! *hugs back*
Hi Mithria! Hi Chione!
Hi Death! (I hope you sleep, too.)

#ChaseForBook9
Hey Taia! Haven't seen you for ages! :)
*Hisses sleepily at Fabi*
Stupid smart brain... Don't listen to the brain... Brains and sleep is overrated... *Yawns sleepily*
It's really small as my profile pic, but here it is.
Wbd...
#ChaseForBook9
Do you like the photoshop Derek
🌚
#ChaseForBook9
Heh... Brain forgot there was a delete button... I win again!!
Mara!!! I love you!! You're amazing!!! *Hugs her tightly*
Fabi, this is the best beaded rainbow-hippo-dragon-thing I've ever seen! :D
No, seriously, it looks cute!
*hugs Death back*
I love you too :)
I got bored and had a new editing software XD
Brb, dinner
#ChaseForBook9
Deathy, I went to sleep last night. Now it's your turn.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, good to see you then, Mithria. :)
Hiya Zaf!
Hey Mara! Yeeeesssssssss. x3
#ChaseForBook9
And Death btw you're absolutely beautiful in that picture okay
*shakes Fabi frantically* DID YOU HEAR MOVE
DID YOU
#ChaseForBook9
Awkward silence...
Deep within the bowls of the planet, something stirred. At the surface, there was an eruption of sand and two giant shapes appeared, locked in combat.
One was giant and black, synthetic and robotic in nature. The other was clearly organic and was a light brown - long and relatively thin in shape, almost like a giant mutant worm. It had hundreds of tiny limbs jutting from its armoured skin, and its mouth was almost like a sharpened funnel.
The Thresher Maw wrapped its powerful body around the last surviving Reaper, and squeezed. Metal began to give way under its grip, but it was thrown off with a giant black leg and landed back down on the sand.
It burrowed beneath the machine, going deep down so the Reaper had not got a chance to sense the disturbances, then leaped at it from a completely different direction.
The Reaper was thrown off balance, but it managed to twist itself around and let loose with a beam of red energy that scorched the ground before hitting its target, ripping the Thresher Maw in half.
Kalros, the Thresher Maw, had once been worshipped as a god. And it had just been killed by something far more powerful than itself.
The Reaper was severely damaged. Sparks flickered across the surface of its punctured hull, and scratch marks from the Thresher Maw were visible after its talons had raked across its body.
But it was alive. Damaged, but still fully functional. Kalros and it had been trying to kill each other for the past week, slowly getting closer and closer to the surface. Ever since a human had called the Thresher Maw and made it attack the Reaper. The same human that had wiped out the rest of its kind.
Where previously had been a mass of open communication between the entire Reaper species, there was just silence. Not even a single packet of data had survived.
It considered itself lucky, under the circumstances. The ground had protected the Reaper from the energy pulse that had wiped out the rest of its race. It was the last of a kind.
There was an unfamiliar sensation. It felt alone. Sad, almost. No, not sad. The rest of the Reapers had annoyed it anyway... Since when had it started to feel emotions? That was new. Maybe the pulse had affected it after all.
It decided to take revenge on those who had been responsible for the downfall of its species. It was weak, almost powerless, yes... But it would be great again. It would finish what the rest of its kind had started.
It would harvest all life in the galaxy, starting right there on Tuchanka.
It would have to think of a title for itself. Something that would help people to understand what it was and what it was doing.
The Reaper thought for a moment, and decided to take something from a human language.
It decided to be called Revenge.
Wrote that last night when I was tired, I might go and change some bits xD
My apologies for my absence. The internet connection, once again, did not work as I had hoped.
Hey Dragona! :)
Mycroft! *hugs him* Good to see you!
Hi Dragona! Hi Mycroft/September!
wbd
#ChaseForBook9
Greetings, Miss DeMars!
*hugs Mithria* Wonderful to see you too, as always. How have you been?
*smiles* Everything all right, I guess... So, are you in London NOW or did I get that wrong again? ;)
I am in London now, yes.
You guess? You don't seem very sure.
It is a very beautiful city.
Miss September, in fact, may be moving there.
Just a little stress at school, nothing to bother you with.
London... tell me about it, please! I've never been there...
Ember, that's true? Wow... You know that I envy you now, don't you? ;)
☂Yes, it is!!!!!!!!☂
☂Because Mom and I can't stay in Vienna all the time (I have an English passport, but she doesn't), we have to go back and forth from somewhere. So we may end up living half the time in London and half the time in Vienna!☂
☂MAYBE.☂
☂NOT CONFIRMED YET.☂
*sighs* Ts... Everyone seems to go to London... My friend was there on holiday, my cousin - who is a teacher - went there with his english class... meh.
I shall visit you when you are in Vienna. *nods* Always wanted to see Vienna. xD
@Mara
Yes, I have, it's awesome!
#ChaseForBook9
Well, if you ever have too much on your plate to handle, you can always talk to me.
London has a general aura of elegance in terms of its architecture and its gardens...
I find it amusing how there are hardly any English people in London, or perhaps I'm not looking in the right place.
*chews homework*
*glares at other homework*
I'm gonna poof until I've got some of this completed...
But before I disappear: Yay! Ember that sounds pretty awesome, if it does work out that way. C:
*hides in German homework and headphones*
#ChaseForBook9
If Miss September can convince her parents to let her see a "stranger", then that would be a splendid idea.
☂FABWEEEEEEEEE☂
No, it's not that bad, really. But thank you very much!
What? No english people? That's funny...^^
Mycroft, you aren't looking in the right place. Come to Yorkshire! There are TONNES of English people. Because we're awesome like that.
Hm... that would be the problem I haven't thought of yet. Because I'm sure my parents wouldn't let me...
You're probably right, Mr. Pine.
☂IKR....☂
☂WE MUST FIND A WAY TO INCONSPICUOUSLY BUMP INTO EACH OTHER ON THE STREET.☂
There are hardly any English people in the cities. In the countryside is where we all hide and laugh at the city folk. Especially southerners. They're weird.
☂OMG, it would be so fun if we could make matching Mycroft cosplays together...☂
America....
Oh god, Ember, that would be wonderful! :D I try to imagine this at the moment... you'd have an umbrella with you!
☂All my dad's relatives are in Cleeve Prior in Stratford-upon-Avon...☂
Yeah. Hello...
I still need to ded.
Someone else can if they write a long and meaningful speech, though...
#ChaseForBook9
☂XD☂
☂But my mom has been refusing to let me carry the umbrella around in Vienna because we only have one and I lose everything...☂
HELLOOOOOOO.
Why am I doing three and a half activities a week???
I don't want to do anything! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Star! How are you? And, do you have time to read my story?
*didn't manage to disappear yet*
Myrcroft/Ember, London's a big city - a lot of people head over there, I think, from all-round.
Maybe it depends on how 'English' is defined, to some extent, but I'd agree with you, either way, I think. There are plenty of English-folk, but plenty of others, also. :)
If you headed somewhere less urban, though, the English-ness would probably be a little more prominent. *nods*
*NOW heads over to the Realm of Homeworkness*
#ChaseForBook9
@Dragona: OI. I LIVED IN THE SOUTH FOR QBOUT FOUR YEARS! THE PEOPLE DOWN THERE ARE AWESOME!
Actually, they're about the same, but we're awesome as well sooo . . . :P
☂☂hugs Taia☂☂
☂Agreed....☂
☂HI STAAAAAAR!☂
*waves at TAIAAAAAAAAA*
@Dragona: Nope! Homework! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
HI STAAAAAAAAAAAR! :)
@Ember: Oh... well, then I'll have to think about something else you could carry and I would recognise... :D
Btw, Mycroft, have you already met your brother? I'm curious if he really found you, like you said I think two days ago...
HI EMBER!!! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hiya Ink! :)
-*cuts herself off*
HOMEWORK.
*goes*
#ChaseForBook9
☂Mith, maybe I could buy a pet elephant and ride it through the city...☂
I have watched him on numerous occasions, yes, but I have yet to actually greet him.
It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in...
'Cause everyone I love is here
Say it once, and disappear

☂PIGGYBACK RIDE!☂
Hi Ember.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out faces, worn out places
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere...
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs because of Embers idea*
Well, you don't have to if you don't want to, Mycroft... I think.
*pulls out picnic basket*
We must have our picnic NOW, since we didn't get to do it earlier.
*teleports them both to the beach*
HI MITHHHHHH! :)
Btw - I FOUND ANOTHER PERSON TO STALK! :)
He was wearing a System of a Down t-shirt. :)
I know which room he's in fourth period on a Monday and that's it, plud I can't really remember what he looks like, so stalking him might be a bit hard. XD
Stalking people is funnnnnn. :)
Disclaimer: I don't actually stalk people. I just get excited whenever they happen to be within sight and update my friends on their doings. :P I don't delibrately follow them.
#ChaseForBookNine
Fabi, I love that song. It is wonderful.
[Pokes Ember with a purple carrot]
Get off.
#ChaseForBook9
Star, could you read it when you have time?
☂I wish we had a Sherlock roleplayer on here☂
☂GAAAAAAAAAAH☂
*looks around, surprised*
*blinks*
Teleporting...
@Taia: YOU CALLED ME INK!!!! :) :)
*hugs Fabi*
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes, it is...
I recorded myself singing it yesterday...
#ChaseForBook9
I'd do it, Ember, but I'm afraid my english is not Sherlock-like...
Brb.
[hugs Star]
#ChaseForBook9
@Dragona: Of course. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
☂pokes Fabi with purple umbrella☂
☂No!☂
THE LAPTOP IS FAILING INTERNET-WISE.
*happily uses it as an excuse to keep chatting*
#ChaseForBookNine
☂It'll be fine, Mith! You have awesome English!☂
☂Give Sherlock's violin teleportation powers and he can come join the picnic!
NOOOO IT'S WORKING. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
(Btw, Ember, I have about an hour, then I'll have to go... I'm really sorry about that, but I'm quite busy with school stuff and getting up early and... well, yes.)
☂(I have about five minutes, so it's fine XD)☂
☂HI MARA!☂
☂Cool, Favis!
☂Sorry if I'm ignoring any of you, there's just so much happening...☂
Please, Ember... If you're on top of me, it's really hard to do what I do best, that is, run away.
[hugs Mara]
#ChaseForBook9
*unpacks picnic basket*
*lays out blanket*
☂*probably should've did the blanket first*☂
(NOOOOOOOO! Damn. Does it make sense to get Sherlock here then?)
☂☂Falls off Fabi☂☂
AND NOW THE BLOGGER WINDOW IS OPEN ON THE LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have to post this comment. Just to, you know, check it's working. I'm not procrastinating at all, oh no . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
☂BRING IN THE SHERLOCK!!!!!!!!☂
☂cracks imaginary whip☂
@Mycroft: That's so sweet... *smiles*
*smiles*
*stays silent*
☂(Mith, what do you like to eat?)☂
//The sound of a violin can be heared somewhere//
*listens*
Do you hear that, Mycroft?
(Don't know... something :P)
*listens*
*turns white*
Oh dear God.
*stands up*
*looks around*
You hear it too, correct?
Bleh to PE now afios cya when im home
*frowns and stands up as well*
Hey, what's the matter? Is something wrong?
☂HI ZAF!☂
*takes Mithria's hand*
*walks with her towards the source of the sound*
He... he had no idea, he couldn't have possibly...
I'm sorry, Mithria. Just come with me for a second.
☂☂will poof any second☂☂
But... what are you talking about? Who is he?
Sherlock... he's here.
☂☂☂GONE☂☂☂
(Then we should stop here and continue right at this scene when we meet next time. What do you think?)
Wow....Derek, you have an awesom house. I am so jealous of it all!!!!
Beyond the staples centre
You can see America
With its tired poor
Avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth
Against the brutality
Of plastic existence
PUSHING LITTLE CHILDREN
WITH THEIR FULLY AUTOMATICS
THEY LIKE TO PUSH THE WEAK AROUND
System of a Down are actually awesome. :)
Um.
*goes back to homework*
#ChaseForBookNine
*is wondering what to do*
*hums 'I feel pretty'*
Backles.
But my head hurts so may be slow/disappearing-y.
*hugs Ember back*
@Star: I did! :)
Hi Requiem!
#ChaseForBook9
o my flippin lord thats so coool i love marvel superheroes and dc but dont worry not as much as stephani and skulduggery
Hi Taia, Mithria
Meh... I gtg soon... But still Hi Requiem!
Where did my comment poof to? :O
Anyway.
*is still distant*
Did I say hello to you, Rhydian, or was that on my poofed comment?
Anyway, hi. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: Did your comment just poof? I was going to listen to it later, but it... went. :P
(I say later because I'm currently on Tom Waits, and now one Love Spit Love song, apparently, too.)
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, it did? I didn't just imagine its existence, then. :)
When I said 'it', also, I meant the song(s). ^^
*nods*
*goes back to biology homework*
#ChaseForBook9
*re-pastes link*
Thanks! :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ3KlvKlhI8&list=PLTslNdjmKxFtDwh1k3FIRyXuARLNTj9fJ
Meh. It wasn't quite as depressing as I remembered, but then again I was concentrating more on my drawing, and even so I started crying a little bit. :P
Homework is evil, isn't it? :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I gtg now... See you all tomorrow! :)
Yay, thanks!
*pastes link in a new tab*
*leaves it there to linger until she's up for the music-switch* :)
Homework is pretty evil. *nods in agreement*
But then, this is for my coursework and whatnot, so I need to do it anyway, really. :P
Aw, Bye Mithria! *waves* See you! :)
#ChaseForBook9
Fours, Mith! :(
Well, when you can see the point in it, homework is better. :)
Thank you. :)
Just a note - when the sound goes all static-y at the end of Part 1, that's in the song and intentional, not the fault of the video. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
Wwydwwyshdifpiok.
[hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
*moans* I just had to draw Crooks' room for English, and now I have to annotate it, but I don't want to coz it'll wreck the drawing. D:
*plots to put vague arrows*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: *nods* True. Nearly-pointless homework is nearly-pointless, though. :)
Oh, I enjoy static-y in music, so that'll be fine. Thanks, though. :]
@Star(#2): Aw! D: Could you just write little numbers at each point, and then a key with each note numbered accordingly, if that makes sense? Then at least arrows aren't all in the way?
#ChaseForBook9
Also, Fabi, 're you alright?
I think 'Wwydwwyshdifpiok' could probably be a Welsh word, were it not for the 'k' at the end. :P
#ChaseForBook9
It's an abbreviation. But yeah, I suppose so.
And apparently not. Depends on who you ask.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I don't want to put numbers in it. :P
I'm mentioning each object as I annotate it, though. :)
Hey, Fabi! :)
@Taia: My dad has a Welsh name . . . nobody can spell it. :)
Well, that's an exaggeration (I can obviously spell it, for example), but when we get cards from people who aren't his family it's often wrong. :)
Wwydwwy? @pronunciationness: Urgh. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Fabi: Oh. :( *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
But then... According to popular vote, my sister and I are twins, so I guess it doesn't mean much...
#ChaseForBook9
[hugs Star]
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: Oh! I forgot to say - your flying hippo/dragon is really fantastic!!! :)
I would never have been able to do that without instructions. :P
And - :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Thanks...
I should probably go...
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
My god I was really distant, sorry guys, I was trying to draw on my tablet, so difficult without a little pen thing...
*huggles Fabi* :(
I hope you're feeling better soonly, Fabi. *smiles a smile*
@Star: Fair enough. :)
Ha - cool. Welsh spelling/pronunciation I think I kind of got used to, really. It's confusing-ish, but kind of makes sense, too. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Flying hippo/dragon? Is that-
*examines the picture*
Holy cats! It's so cute!
Awesome! :3
No worries, Chione! :)
Difficult indeed! :P
Welcome back, Dragona! :]
*returns to trying to figure out enzyme-y-things*
#ChaseForBook9
Fours, Fabi. :(
@Taia: *nods* That makes sense. :) *sort of wants to learn Welsh now* :P
WB, Dragona!
WB, Chione!
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws Pringles*
@Dragona: Sorry, distant. Homework . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
What flavour, Dragona?
Hm. Original.
*hums a bit, chopping up some fruits and veggies, eating them*
My dad's reading Captain Underpants to my brother in the room next to me. :) *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Johnathon. ^^
hello dragona
Hey Johnathon. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
hello star
*grabs shotgun and shoots a passing zombie in the face*
zombies?
Uh....
There are lots of passing zombies. They're just invisible so you can't see them.
But I'm a robot, I can see everything.
*shoots another zombie*
oh *places glasses on head* ok
They only try and kill things that see them too. Didn't I mention that?
*throws zombie on top of dragonas head*
they can try
*catches the zombie, swings it around into a brick wall*
*creates fire leading them towards dragona*
Sorry. H/W.
@Star: *laughs* To be fair, it's probably not the most useful of languages, though. Not even in Wales, really. :P
Hi Johnathan! Hi Adra!
LOL, Star x3
@Dragona: ... Invisibility doesn't really do them much good then, does it? :P
#ChaseForBook9
hello taia
hello zaf
Oh wow, thanks.
*deploys blue holographic shield and starts shooting the zombies with his shotgun from behind it, as they pile against the other side*
*creates circle of fire surrounding the zombies and dragona* ok
Hi Taia! *hugs*
Hey Zafira! :)
*begins writing up research*
*reapplies music to ears, uncertain as to why it left them*
#ChaseForBook9
Taia, well you see they can't see us unless we can see them. So they kill anything that can see them and now I'm under attack by zombies.
*hugs Adra back* C:
How're you all doing, by the way? :)
#ChaseForBook9
... Hello?
@Dragona: Ah. *nods*
Can they be interacted with, even if one can't see them, then?
#ChaseForBook9
*picks up a zombie and slams it into the floor*
Fine, despite the zombies. You?
*fires shotgun*
Taia, well they can be knocked into by accident but they won't know what did it.
fine thanks *sends fire zombies into circle*
I have a cold that isn't doing me any justice.
Hi Luce!
hello luc
Yo, Adra~
*luce
Hiya Luci! :) *waves*
How're you doing?
I'm pretty good, thanks Dragona. Tired and slightly ill, but meh. Still good. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Luce!!! :)
*fires energy pulses at the zombies and strides up to a group of them*
*raises hand, which starts glowing white* *lightning bolts hit each of the zombies and he drains their energy, then lets them collapse on the floor with his shields boosted*
Hey, Luce! :)
*reappears slightly*
@Taia: Well, my cousins who learn Welsh can understand Merlin's magic-language better than us because similarities, so that's a use. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws more zombies at dragona*
@Adra: Heh, me too. *offers up a high-five* :P
@Dragona: So, like, every time I randomly stumble over nothing when walking, I can blame that on the invisible zombies? :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Star: Oh, really? Awesome! :)
#ChaseForBook9
Yes Taia, it is the invisible zombies.
*fires energy pulse at the ground, sending some zombies stumbling back, then finishes them off with his shotgun*
*reloads, then sends a drone out which starts spitting fire at the zombies*
Hey everyone. :)
Hey Star.
How're things?
Taia - I'm ill, stressed, suffering from anxiety STILL and tired. But, other than that, just a little heartbroken. How are you?:)
*sets fire to drone* oops
*sneezes into a tissue*
AAAABDKZHAMSMJSHSNSKXJBOOOO
I got a sore throat bleh
Johnathon! Stop making my zombie-killing job harder! :P
*sends out another drone*
not my fault dragona *creates sheild for zombies*
*curls up under a blanket* ughhhnnn... *sneezes like an elephant*
That's one weird sneeze Adra :3
*shoots zombie in the face*
Cheese?
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, LET ME JOIN!!!!!!!!!
*stands in front of zombies* stop shooting the zombies
Hello to whomever is here!
I am eighteen today!
*runs behind dragona* hi.
*raises her Browning* >:D
Oh, by the way, I'm distant because I've got Philosophy work to do. :P
How are you all, anyway...?
Roger that Johnathon. *drains their energy instead*
Chione *throws her some glasses* They're invisible zombies so you can only see them with glasses. Or if you're a robot like me.
((Good Luce, you?))
((Happy birthday Sky))
Well, I feel about the same as I did yesterday, for all of those people who tend to ask that question :P
Ooh I need to do deds. One moment.
