It's Sunday evening, I'm about to go watch Dexter, and I thought it'd be a nice way to spend a blog post by showing you a few pics of the glorious junk I have in my house.
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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4948 Newer› Newest»Hm... don't know if I should be afraid of you or not...
Meh. I want Ember.
Why isn't anyone talkinggggg?
I'm writing Dragona, sorry.
Mithria, be afraid, be very afraid :P
In all seriousness, it is an awesome plan.
Hmmmm... nah... I won't be afraid. Because I'm neither a zombie nor your enemy ;)
Our zombie plan is to steal 3 busses. 2 for loved ones 1 for ammo and guns. Drive up to inverness, fort william, get as many weapons and stuff as we can, head North to the highlands where hardly anyone lives.
A tank would be awesome in a zombie apocalypse. They wouldn't be able to get in it and you'd be able to shoot them and you could store food inside and yeah.
Chione, to get guns you'll have to get to an army base. So why don't you just get an armoured vehicle? Much better than a bus. Buses have too many windows to protect. You'd have to make sure everyone had a weapon and was stationed evenly on both buses, so no zombies could get in. And they'd have to stay like that for the entire journey.
*grins* Very strange discussion... *goes back to Glee*
Greetings, all.
Also with a bus you need a driver. You have to also take into account its length and stuff, so it'd be hard to navigate around tight corners. A tank on the other hand can rotate on the spot. And if you do accidentally hit something, it won't damage it. You could probably drive it through part of a building if you wanted to.
EMBER!!!! :D
☂HI!!!!!!!!!!!!☂
☂You wanna start from where we left off?☂
☂WBD, btw, but by my standards, so not very!☂
Hey Mycroft!
Greetings, Mr. Pine! How are you this evening?
I want to hit you but looks like a bus already did
Oops

#ChaseForBook9
☂Guys, part of my hw is to write a 150 word sensory experience about walking through the woods and I just can't do it AND I DON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE COME ON 150 WORDS IS A PIECE OF CAKE☂
Exactely, Ember^^ That's where you left:
//The sound of a violin can be heared somewhere//
Mith:
*listens*
Do you hear that, Mycroft?
Mycroft:
*listens*
*turns white*
Oh dear God.
*stands up*
*looks around*
You hear it too, correct?
Mith:
*frowns and stands up as well*
Hey, what's the matter? Is something wrong?
Mycroft:
*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.
Mith:
But... what are you talking about? Who is he?
Mycroft:
Sherlock... he's here.
YEY, I did save it! And YES, I know that I'm a little obsessed :P
I am good, thank you Mycroft. How are you?
☂Uh... okay, I'm going to put all the things with Mith in quotation marks and talk to everyone else without.☂
☂(It's okay Mith I am too XD)☂
☂You start, Mith?☂
I am wonderful, thank you. Glad to hear you're doing well.
What are you talking about at the moment? It looks rather interesting.
You know there's that thing where people post stories about the RP, is that like actually what happens or is it what happens with the people who contribute to it?
☂I really have no hecking idea what you're talking about, Dragona, but... ur.... yeah, I don't know what you're asking.☂
☂DAAAAAAAMN that was a pointless comment.☂
Well, we were discussing the best vehicle to get in the event of a zombie apocalypse. I say a tank.
@Mycroft: Sherlock? You are kidding, right? You are playing a joke on me. I mean, we teleported here! How could he have known where you would go?
☂Tanks are boss.☂
No. I don't kid, Mithria. And like I said in one of our earlier conversations, he is very good at predicting the actions of others.
☂☂that last bit was supposed to have quotation marks... sorry ;(☂☂
Well, there's a blog that people post stories on about the RP fights and stuff. I think. Or something like that, tbh I don't know what it is. I've read a few of them, but I end up thinking "that wasn't what I experienced... 0o" so I'm kind of under the impression that it was what happened minus all the randomness, explosions, robots, invisible zombies, stuff like that.
So I was just wondering whether it's true or what. xD
☂Uh... I don't know... You mean Aretha's blog?☂
Sherlock: *stands next to the sea, playing his violine, eyes closed*
Hello.......
Very msd, not even sure I should be here.
Well, I shouldn't be here, but I am, so...
#ChaseForBook9
"*walks up to Sherlock*"
"It's been a while, dear brother, hasn't it?"
Wait, so what are we doing atm with Sherlock Holmes?
☂FABWEEEEEEEEEE☂
☂Mith and I are doing a ... a thing.☂
☂I'm not actually sure.☂
Can I join in? Well... uh that might be a bit hard considering my current form is a 8ft tall robotic being, and I'm probably so heavy I'd fall through the floor, but it's worth a try.
Sherlock: *continues playing, without any sign that shows that he heard what Mycroft said*
*frowns*
*walks up to both of them*
(A thing describes it well... :P)
☂Well, we're at the beach, so if you fall you'll only fall through the sand :)☂
☂And you can, if you want to! If you can find some way to do so--☂
☂Waittttt, do you watch Sherlock?☂
☂Could you be John?☂
"Sherlock. Talk to your elders when they address you, I command you."
I don't watch Sherlock. Sorry. Seen the films, but not the TV show.
*casually walks across the beach, being giant and all*
Sherlock: *sighs and stops playing* Mycroft. *nods politely*
*looks at the giant robot*
*looks really confused*
*says nothing*
"What a warm and friendly greeting that was. Have you heard about my new partner? Or have you been getting slow?"
*turns to giant robot*
Um. Greetings...
Yes, I am a giant robot. Be afraid.
http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120403192112/masseffect/images/c/c9/ME3_Geth_Prime.png
That's what I look like atm btw.
☂Dragona I'm dying of laughter I swear XD☂
☂Gonna drop the quotations since Dragona is now in the rp☂
I am not afraid. I am slightly wary. That is all.
*whispers to Mithria* Do you know this person?
☂Dragona, oh my God you're such a beautiful robot!☂
Ember, I could write the 150 word essay for you if you can't? I'm writing my fanfic anyway.
*blinks*
*whispers back*
I... I don't think so...
Sherlock: *ignores the robot*
*smiles slightly* You wouldn't really believe in me getting slow, would you, Mycroft?
*turns to Mith*
Miss Faith, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
*turns to Sherlock Holmes*
My databases contain several files on you. None of which have flagged you up as an individual of any kind of... importance. Please specify.
(And yes, my robot is amazing. Thank you. It's my character on Mass Effect 3's multiplayer so yay!)
☂I've just finished it though D; WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE ASKED ME EARLIER☂
☂Looking forward to reading it!☂
*whispers back*
Oh dear.
☂in response to Sherlock getting slow☂ I might.
Do you know who this gentleman in the red is?
*chuckles at Dragona's comment*
*looks around, wearing her flower crown*
Sherlock: I do indeed not.
*glares at the robot*
Specify what?
*is watching quietly*
Hi hi Adra!
@Mycroft sorryyy I was writing and reading all your comments!
Please specify why you are not of any importance.
Ember* god damit.
*takes Mithria's hand*
Sherlock, why hadn't you come to see me before?
☂☂☂DRAGONA YOU ARE AWESOME XD☂☂☂
☂And Mith, you're a really good Sherlock!☂
Sherlock: *frowns because of the robot's comment*
*decides not to answer*
Why hadn't YOU come to see me, dear brother? You have been in London for a time.
(I'm doing my best, thank you Ember! :D)
*pokes peoples*
I was afraid that you would not want to see me.
*turns to the robot* He's a freelancer. That might be why he has not shown up in your databases.
A terrible error on your programmer's part, if you ask me.
☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂EMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!☂☂☂☂☂☂☂☂
(Jesus there's a welcome and a half lol)
☂HOW ARE YOU? ARE YOU FEELING BETTER?☂
☂Can you do a John Watson for us? Please?☂
☂Hi John!☂
*to Sherlock again* *raises hand and a holographic image flickers into view*
*points at red lettering saying 'insignificant'*
My databases require updating. Please provide additional information.
Sherlock: *raises an eyebrow* You did never think about that before, as I can tell.
(*pokes Em back* HI!)
Hi Em.
@Mith, finished writing it, going to post it now. :)
hello mycroft
(The last thing was meant to be for Mycroft!)
@Chione: YAAAAAAAAAAY! :D
(I'm on poxy antibiotics now for a chest infection as well as having low blood pressure...
I love my body -_- )
☂Ember with umbrellas, John!☂
☂Yay Chi!☂
*to Dragona* English. My brother. Consulting detective. One of the most brilliant people to walk the Earth. Very annoying.
*to Sherlock* I am trying to be more considerate now that I have someone to practice on.
*smiles at Mith* Are we boring you, dear?
*breathes out, falling into a meditative state*
☂Aw :( Well, at least you don't have cancer!☂
☂... yeaaaah anyway☂
(Oh thanks for that Ember...)
hello adra
Sherlock: *nods without saying anything*
*smiles at Mycroft* Not at all.
☂:( Sorry... I always think that....☂
☂How are you emotionally?☂
sherlock holmes?
((Hi John))
*turns to Mithria* Perhaps my brother could join our picnic?
☂GOG DAMMIT, MITH, WE NEED A VILLAIN☂
(Well I know I don't have cancer, I watched Chase die from that... I wouldn't wish that on my enemies.
Emotionally I'm slowly getting there. And I mean snail's pace getting there)
you need a villain?
☂Well, snail's pace is better than nothing! I know you'll get there no matter how long it takes ^.^☂
(Do we, Ember? ;))
*shrugs* Um... yes, why not? *looks at Sherlock* Would you like to join us?
☂Yep. Can you help us, John?☂
*to Mycroft* Thank you. Database updated.
*To Sherlock* I apologise for the inconvenience, insignificant Sherlock human. Your neural processor seems to be limited in capacity. I thought it would be logical for you to know this, since it may prevent you from running at full functionality.
☂Well, it couldn't hurt to make things more interesting occasionally, right?☂
(Yeah I guess so... It's not easy with missing Chase so much and his kids are just the spit of him. It's hard seeing them grow up without him cause he's done so much for them all)
(well,when i made up the character john, he was evil if that helps)
You are most welcome, well-kept computer.
(I'm so sorry for not reacting, Dragona, but I'm afraid I'm not used to talking to robots... I will get better, promised!)
☂I don't know what to say, Em, I wish I did ;( I guess that as time goes by it'll hurt much less...☂
☂If you could think of something, John, that would be great... Mith, any ideas?☂
(Hm... sry Ember, no ideas... Do whatever you want^^)
Sherlock: *thinks for a few moments, then nods* I shall join you for a while.
*continues to sit on Mevolent's throne, bowing her head and concentrating on the earth below her*
*creates ring of fire*
Well-kept computer? You underestimate my processing power, Mycroft. I am a Geth Juggernaut. A mobile platform containing thousands of different programmes. My shield strength is beyond your comprehension and I have a permanent link to the rest of my species via a variant of a collective consciousness. I remember everything they have experienced, meaning my intellectual value in your organic terms is higher than anyone on your Earth planet.
I have also got a semi-automatic rifle, just for emergencies.
(*sighs* I have maybe half an hour left)
*SCREAMS* FOOD FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII---
☂joking joking☂
That would be wonderful.
*pulls out extra plates from the picnic basket*
I knew you were coming, of course.
(mevolents throne?)
Sherlock: *smiles slightly* Of course.
*takes plates and dissapears*
*raises eyebrow*
Impressive. I take my earlier statement.
You are a VERY, VERY well-kept computer.
☂(take BACK my earlier statement, sorry)☂
*smiles*
I have missed you, dearest brother.
*looks around*
Ah. He's arrived early. I had predicted seeing him much later.
*takes out bowls from picnic basket*
((I'm in the parallel universe, John))
That is more suitable, Mycroft. Though you forgot the fact that I am able to learn, make decisions, judge situations and determine the best outcome. I can do anything a human can, just in a more... durable body.
(ok adra) mr holmes, may i join your picnic?
Sherlock: *raises eyebrow* You have? That is surprising me...
*looks at John*
*whispers at Mycroft* You know this man?
Mr Pine, am i right in thinking that you are a robotic intelligence?
ParAdra: *walks over to the others* Hiiiii
*waves hand at Pine* Semantics, semantics.
Inside and out, Mithria, but I've never actually met him.
Of course you may, Mr. Apophis.
Thank you Mr Holmes. *takes a seat*
*glares at Adra*
*stands up*
Leave, Lady Adra. You were not invited to this picnic. And, on a more practical note, I've run out of plates and bowls.
*smashes the rest of the bowls*
*whispers* Mycroft! Calm down...
*Parrallel John and Edward appear*
EdP: Look at this john
JohnP: Yes, interesting
what are you doing here?
EdP: We are here for you
*all three dissappear*
*glares*
*stays standing*
I appreciate your concern, Mithria, but I do not wish to let Lady Adra join our gathering.
*smashes John's bowl*
*calls out loudly* WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY BOWLS LEFT!
ParAdra: Um....
I'm afraid we haven't met.
Mith dont leave yet, almost done
*rolls eyes*
*murmurs* pigheaded fellow...
Sherlock: *nods* Well spoken, Miss Faith.
Johnathon, what I am is hard to define. There are soldiers of my species, who only contain one or two programmes. They cannot think for themselves or reason or assess, UNLESS they are in a group. When they are close together they are able to do everything a human can because they combine their processing power.
I on the other hand am a Juggernaut. I am a combination of THOUSANDS of programmes. So in a way, I am both running the programme and the result of the programming at the same time. I can influence the consciousness of my species as much as I am under the influence of it.
To put it into simple terms, I am an independent robotic platform linked into a vast network array which fuels my entire species.
There are a group of my species called the Heretics whose database has become corrupted by another race of machines and they now are under their control. I on the other hand have regained my free will due to the fact my hub is on a different network entirely.
(I'm still here, Chione^^)
*looks at Mithria, shocked*
What did... did I hear you correctly?
*Wakes up on a ledge in a volcano*
What do you need me for?
EdP: Dont worry, we need you alive
JohnP: I need to take your place and gain access to several areas.
*EdP smashes john on head with a shovel*
JohnP: Time i got back *Dissappears and appears back at picnic*
*visibly upset*
I did not... I never intended... I... I'm sorry.
But once again, you must understand how much that lady gets on my nerves.
*turns toward JohnP*
I'm sorry... I don't have any plates...
*looks at the robot and creates a fire near the core* Hello
ParAdra: Hey John. *waves*
*looks at Mycroft, sitting next to Mith* What's got his knickers in a twist?
(JohnP is parrallel John)
Plates are not needed Mr Holmes. *creates ring of fire around everyone*
*looks at Mycroft* I... would you mind coming with me for a short time? Please?
*stands*
Greetings Adra, have you dealt with the Adra of this world?
*looks very, very upset*
Please, Lady Adra, get away from her. I don't want you corrupting her any more.
ParAdra: I have. I sent her away as well. *shrugs* I hope she isn't dead yet
Of course, Mithria.
*stands*
*links arm around her waist*
*teleports them both outside the ring of fire*
ParAdra: I haven't done a thing, though! I don't even know you!
*Glances as volcanoe erupts in the background* John is not going to bother me here
☂(btw Adra, just thought I'd say, LOVE YOU LOTS <3☂
((Love you too bbz!!))
*comes face to face with a second Geth Juggernaut*
ParDragona + Dragona (together): Greetings.
☂Mycroft can't see the second GJ because he's outside the ring, okay? When he comes back he'll react.☂
You... look upset. What's wrong? Is it what I said when you smashed those plates? I didn't mean it...
☂Also, what's with this new parallel universe thing?☂
(Gtg in five min....)
*Turns to Dragona*
JohnP: Mr Pine, i will need to take the master chip of your robotic structure. *Throws wall of fire*
[WIRELESS TRANSFER ACTIVATED]
*ParDragona falls to the floor*
[PROCESSING POWER INCREASED] [DATABANKS UPDATED] [SHIELD POWER INCREASED] [WEAPON POWER INCREASED]
I was a little upset that you thought I was overly pompous, yes.
Do you... do you still...
((It's been around... Ari's plot. Parallel universe people came here to take our place because their world is dying))v
☂Me too, Mith...☂
☂Cool, Adra!☂
*tilts head* Good god, what did I say...? I'm so sorry! Of course I didn't mean it like that!
*looks away*
*sighs*
Please don't think that I care for nothing but myself. I... I care for you more than anything in the world, and I do try to protect others, but I grew up in a world where I had to... surround myself with a kind of wall to keep my... myself intact... do you follow me?
Johnathon, Parallel Varient, please refrain from doing so. My processing power has been increased. I have downloaded all the files from the Geth network on to this platform. Although I am still linked, I have established my own network. It would be inadvisable to try and take my master chip, it will be met with hostile actions from all electronic equipment around you.
ParaAdra: *raises an eyebrow and casually drinks lemonade*
*puts her hand on his arm* I do understand... I am so sorry, please believe me. I... I did never want to hurt you!
*Parrallel Edward appears*
EdP: Well, he will meet it with hostile actions
JohnP: We need the chip
*Both jump onto head of robot*
And I... I must ask you to forgive me.
DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Bye dragona
☂Bye, Dragona! Lovely to see you!☂
Johnathon we can continue this tomorrow or whenever. It might be interesting.
Bye!
ok dragona, bye
☂AWESOME, CHIONE!☂
☂I LOVE RED DRESSES☂
☂The four of us are so awesome xD☂
Mithria, tell me honestly... do you find my general manner irritating?
back in 20 mins
((Hi/bye people who have gone/come??))
ParAdra:.... This is boring. *eats an apple*
How the hell did you read it that quickly....? Wow ember, just wow.
☂I'm sorry, Adra... :(☂
☂☂EmberTC runs in next to Adra☂☂
☂HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY☂
☂☂throws worms at Adra☂☂
(I have to go very very soon. I will read your chapter tomorrow, Chione! Promised!)
*looks at Mycroft, shocked* How could I??
☂☂smiles at Chione☂☂
☂I give myself two hours to do all my homework.☂
☂I then read/write fanfics for an hour and a half.☂
☂I have to be able to read quickly to get everything done XD☂
☂Also.. darn.☂
☂MAHU, MITH, ADRA, CHI, FABI, EM, DEATHY, DAU, MARA, DRAGONA, JOHN☂
☂☂☂endofdedimsosorry☂☂☂
I don't know. I'm very irritating sometimes. And pig-headed, like you say.
ParAdra: *raises lemonade* Hear hear!
*ducks under the worms*
☂Need to go. BYEEEEEEEE!!!!!!☂
*tears well up*
I... I will leave now. I love you, Mithria. I'm sorry.
Star needs to read it now. She's one of the Element 4 too :-/
Bye Ember
Goodbye Mr Holmes.
*hands Mithria a wrapped gift*
*teleports away*
☂You can open it now and make something up, or you can keep it for when you see fit.☂

-IN THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE-
(This happens shortly after Adra rescues ParaLorcan from the basement. I hope not everyone will be confused!)
*Lorcan runs, looking behind him as the woman goes through the travelling ball portal. He knows he just has to get over the hills into the valley and he's home safe*
*He stops for a second, analyzing his bloody hand where he was pressing the biggest wound on his abdomen. He begins coughing, bringing up some blood*
*He needs to get to his dad*
((NO BUT MITHCROFT
MITHCROFT
NO *cries*))
#ChaseForBook9
((Bye Ember!))
But... *watches him leaving*
Oh god, what did I do?
*sits on the floor, nearly crying, the gift in her hands*
Couldn't I just be quiet?
(Meh. I gtg, too... See you tomorrow!)
((ParAdra is still in Mevolent's hideout in the Paraverse... Waiting to find something with the earth because apparently no one can tell her, so Em- I'm nowhere near you :/))
((*hugs Mithcroft* Bye Mith!!!))
(ParAdra or normal Adra?? Well then will I wait until your away from Mevolent's palace?)
((You guys can make up what's wrong with the world. I have an idea, but it's fine
((Wait NORMAL Adra.
And I don't think I'll be leaving for a while until I'm sure no one is going to tell me what's going on, or give me a description of it that I can sense from meditation))
((I'm sick- I cant think))
(I guess I'll wait then...)
Oh dear, im stuck with RPers and I have no idea what's going on.
((I explained above))
((Or on the page before))
Nah...I need to go in 30 mins anyway.
((Well okay then))
*sighs, getting to her feet* That was a fluke... I really need to get to someone
*puts on her coat and meanders outside the Palace and the Palace wall into the forest again*
(Is that my cue to come back in lol)
(( if you like :3))
back
(Well what are you up to right now, like... clue me in here. Will you be near to do the Lorcan thing or...)
