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.

DEREK I SO WANT TO SEE THIS HOUSE OF YOURS WHEN I GO TO IRELAND!!!!
((Lol Aretha you're so nice to him: "thanks for the post!" Me: GOD DAMMIT DEREK YE LITTLE SHIT))
((True story))
This is what happens when a geek has too much money...
ParAdra: yeah. This is boring. Want to go clubbing.
Yes.
ParAdra: Let's go then. *gathers up her coat* Need something to wear?
Yes. *follows her to a back room*
P!Aretha: Well, I'm really not sure how to make one, but I need a new kind of portal. I don't have to worry about efficiency because I only need one this time, though.
#ChaseForBook9
I have no idea Nicollo, I don't even know where I'm going, pick me up in twenty four hours, if I don't get back before then.
#ChaseForBook9
*totally didn't meet George Takei today and see Mark Armstrong and listen to Star Wars/Trek/ Sci Fi orchestra at the Music Hall*
*follows her fake self into a back room* so for funnies we should trick the Trips sometime... You'd have to cut your hair.
ParAdra: aha. No thanks. *pulls out a blue dress, handing it to her* There!
((Ari am I assuming I'm not in the other universe let me know cuz I'll go reread LSODM if I must til Niccolò is back))
*hums*
wbd, msd
Okay... *whips out a small mirror*
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: Then I shall leave you to your business. *vanishes* ((Well, you're not in the parallel universe, but if you wanted something to do you could always meet your parallel self.))
#ChaseForBook9
*draws an eye made of two arrows on it*
Mirror now, show me the one,
The one that I am thinking of!
#ChaseForBook9
((*sighs* no because I'll only be talking to myself as usual and I am sick of talking to myself so I guess I'll vanish as nobody really needs me so adios unless otherwise))
*the mirror next to Adra begins to pulse, and some writing on it says to tap it to receive the call*
#ChaseForBook9
(*laughs* We're all talking to ourselves Zaf! We're all CRAZY!)
#ChaseForBook9
(*laughs* We're all talking to ourselves Zaf! We're all CRAZY!)
#ChaseForBook9
*magically appears in the dress* YAY!
ParAdra: YAY! *highfives* Okay let's go.
((Alright then. I might bring another character in at some point, since I don't really have anything to do now, either. :p))
#ChaseForBook9
...*blinks*.
Am I seeing things? *nudges ParAdra* hey. You see this?
ParAdra: whoa... *pushes her forward* Touch it!
NO! *does so anyway*
*trip's face appears on the mirror* Hey Adras?
#ChaseForBook9
*both* Hey babe! *they exchange a glance*
ParAdra: ... which one are you?
((I wanted to hang out with Niccolò because I'm hoping fingers crossed that I can maybe have some Nafira happen before October 11th becauae at least I'll go into surgery knowing something good happened but for now I'll lurk))
((...Going into surgery? Are you ok?))
#ChaseForBook9
((Zaf?))
I'm the one who got shot yesterday and really doesn't want to be outside a moment longer than he has to in this hellhole of a collapsing world you've got here.
#ChaseForBook9
(Surgery?)
#ChaseForBook9
... Well. Good evening.
((Widsom teeth....all 4 at once. Not gonna be pretty I won't be on for 3-4days tops and if i do go on I'm gonna be in enough pain and then the 21st my Mom has surgery on her foot....))
You're there? *elbows Para-her* HOW DID HE GET THERE BEFORE ME?
ParAdra: uh... *to Trip* How did you get there?
((OUCH! *hugs Zaf* Sorry to hear Hun.. I do not envy you. I would totally send Ice cream if I could
Heya Sir *gives a funny look to Aretha* I KNEW IT))
Derek.
Your house is AWESOMMEEEEE :DDDDDD
... Knew what, Adrasdos?
Hey Sir.
Nic have me a lift.
#ChaseForBook9
Now, where may I ask is this universe's Trip?
#ChaseForBook9
((Nothing! :3. Hi Jubi!))
ParAdra: Uh... I haven't a clue.
((I had my wisdom teeth out back in July... All four.
((And then the day they were going to be better, some weird fluke that apparently never happens. I probably shouldn't mention it......
((I'm sorry, it's just something I really like to complain about it.
((I'm not here... Ignore me... I guess...
#ChaseForBook9
((That sounds... Ouch. That's all. *hugs Fabru*))
((Oh, if you have ice cream, there's this yummy trick..
((You can mix a scoop or two of ice cream with milk, and stir it with a fork, and you'll get a sort of easy milkshake thing that tastes so good... That was my favorite food while my mouth hurt... Also the ice cream lasts longer.
#ChaseForBook9
((I'll take the advice! *le petried Minion* I burst out sobbing when I was told i'd have them removed...))
Now I fear I ruined my chances for any Nafira....typical of me
how don't you know where he is?
ParAdra: I DON'T KNOW QUIT JUDGING ME
Well then...
What does he do?
#ChaseForBook9
HI DEREK! I THINK YOU'RE GRACIOUS O'CALLAHAN. YES YOU ARE. DON'T DENY IT.
(Not here unless he comes on.)
Greetings, Kestrel.
ParAdra: what?!?!*is stressing pretty hard*
*has a wtf look*
((*hugs Fabi and Zaf* *is distant*))
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Kessie!!!!!!)))
What is his job? I need to talk to him.
#ChaseForBook9
((What the hell?!? WHAT DO I SAY TO THAT JESUS))
ParAdra: He'll if I know! He changes the story every week..
I really don't like the sound of that.
Fine, where are you girls?
#ChaseForBook9
*at the same time* Moscow.
Adra: *peers in closer* Where are you?
*sits awkwardly outside* what to dooo? ((Nope no clue I needed to go over to the other universe for something but I can't go over so I now legit have no clue what I'm doing other then sitting here bored))
((Have a run in with yourself?))
A park somewhere, in a clearing. Don't worry, I'll be with you in a sec. *throws the mirror up in the air, then snaps a phylaxtrite, and is right next to them.* Hello.
#ChaseForBook9
(Ari said that a few of them came to our universe as well?)
#ChasseForBook9
((Not worth it I'll be bored within a post because it'll litterally be talking to myself and feeling stupid))
*strolls around a tree, alone in the normal world*
*jumps*... Hi?
ParAdra: So our mirror is now a portal? Sweet.
Ugh... Not the brightest, are you?
ParAdra: I have an MD!
*clicks her fingers* That would be why.
It was a spell. Sorry, I Luke magic solutions to problems.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hey- yo that's what I was doing for a bit there. I actually go off on my own quite a lot. But.. At the moment I don't think people will be pining for your RPness so you might just have to make do))
You know, it's awfully helpful for you to have cut your hair Adra, so thanks.
#ChaseForBook9
ParAdra: Right. What can we help you with?
((I'm totally confused about who is in which universe...))
#ChaseForBook9
*walks into myself*
*steps back and blinks*
*shrugs and continues walking, gesturing for my parallel self to follow*
Well other Adra, presumably your version of me will return at some point, and I need to speak with him, so I thought I'd hang with you two while I wait.
#ChaseForBook9
((I have no paitence to talk to myself for hours on end which is what I'll end up doing. Because I try to bring Alexis in nothing happens Jayla nothing happens so I kind of gave up on it I really have no idea formed what my para self would even do I had an idea but I didn't get shunted over so that now is out the window so I'm back to where I started: bored))
(Yeah me too... I thought I was in our universe?)
Because you have short hair, while other Adra has long hair?
#ChaseForBook9
ParAdra: Ah well I have no idea how long we'll be waiting. We were about to go clubbing.
((Yeah... Maybe Trip thought you guys were in the other universe?))
#ChaseForBook9
((Come clubbing with us, Zaf! I'll get you a portal))
Ah. I do suppose that is a perk.
(According to Ari we're in the other one.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Um. I think I said that parallel Adra and Trip were in this universe, meaning ours... Did I say it wrong or something...?))
#ChaseForBook9
I'd love to join you, but I think I'll just sit here ominously and wait.
#ChaseForBook9
((No we're in the original one, YOU'RE in the alternate))
(I thought you meant they were in the parallel one. Fine, we're in ours.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Well, he's not in the alternate anymore.))
#ChaseForBook9
ParaSnow: an interesting world you have here.
*nods but says nothing*
ParaSnow: why aren't you talking?
*shrugs* i just dont know what to say
(No idea what I am withessing....)
*sighs irritably watching Olivia*
Annabell: mad?
Yea could say that. More like bored. Typical everyone having fun I get excluded god knows why
Annabell: because nobody likes you
Yeah I know. I knew that from the moment Bisahalani elected me. He told me I was gonna have a hard time because very few mages would accept that I'm a Necromancer. Americans are stubborn look at the nortals they win't elect a female president
((Ok, how about this- parallel Trip is in the parallel universe, and everybody else was in the normal one. So then it makes sense that you shunted over. And then you came back over with the portal.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Right? Okay. *facepalms*))
ParAdra: Oh now, we'll have to catch some human traffickers and drug dealers on our own?
Really, other Trip, you'll find us.
(Just forget the whole shunting business. We're all here.)
#ChaseForBook9
I'm sorry, I got shot yesterday, as good a job as was done with it, I'm not fit for feild work until the end of the week.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm sorry, I got shot yesterday, as good a job as was done with it, I'm not fit for feild work until the end of the week.
#ChaseForBook9
((Ok. So we're just all here. That works for me.))
#ChaseForBook9
Annabell: you aren't that bad though. I mean realistically who was going to step up to take the job once Bisahalani died? Marissa didn't want to and you were willing and he asked you. And look people like you.
Most. Others, Niccolò, Adra, Trip. Hate me.
Annabell: Niccolò doesn't know a decent female if she smacked him across the face
You think?
Annabell: I know so.
((Oh so wait Niccolò would still be here then! Ok! Makes me slightly happier
((Sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
ParaSnow: so... how's your version of Tom?
*raises eyebrow* who?
ParaSnow: your boy- *stops* you dont know Tom here, do you?
i have no clue who that is...
ParAdra: Shot? Oh. By those Hunters, right? *nods* They're pains to deal with. Well that's too bad. *pulls at alter-her's arm towards the door*
Wait, but- *looks back* Trip-
*stares at alter self* okay... well, i have no clue who this Tom is, but i kinda have a thing going with Sherlock...
ParaSnow: *blinks* who??
*laughs*
Mevolent: *knocks on the door of Zafira's treehouse*
#ChaseForBook9
((i am soo bored, i just made my own subplot with myself... what is wrong with me??))
*pulls back* you go ahead...
ParAdra: but-
But why?
*glares at her* Go.
ParAdra: *nods* fine. *storms out*
((Way to jump to it Ari lol))
*sees ParaAdra storming out*
*gestures to ParaSnow*
you want to go see what...?
ParaSnow: why not?
*walks after ParaAdra*
*sighs* All this nonsense with alter-selves is quite the mess. This is why I have quite the distaste for sister dimensions...
*goes to the door and upon seeing the 8ft tall Mevolent a faint scream escapes my lips* what....
Mevolent: Sorry to bother you. I'm looking for Aretha Tesla. I heard she was a friend of yours.
#ChaseForBook9
(*pokes Trip* hellooooo?)
*walks back over to him, not saying anything*
--
ParAdra: Heya Snow!
I...I haven't seen her. I've seen Niccolò before but...not Aretha. Wait you aren't from my universe this universe you died....and I helped..*covers mouth*
(( i have no clue what i am doing... i am probably gonna end with myselves fighting each other))
Mevolent: *glares at Zafira* Lucky for you, I don't care too much about this universe. But if you don't help me find her, I have no problem with killing you.
#ChaseForBook9
*ParaSnow waves at ParaAdra*
hi
ParaSnow: sup, Adra?
*looks him in the eye not entirely caring that it seriously is disrespectful* Uhm no. And I have no problem killing you either. After all, I am very good friends with the Dead Men *smiles innocently*
(My parents already call Derek a weirdo and a nerd... You shouldn't help them with that, Derek!))
((Ah for chrissakes, he fell asleep. *facepalm*))
ParAdra: I'm going to beat up some baddies. Wanna come?
((His eyes look really creepy in that picture, Rose))
((Rose I thought Derek was on I was like: DEEEEREEEK then I was like wait no not him))
ParaSnow: sure.
*hesitates* maybe...
ParaSnow: *raises eyebrow* what, are you a pacifist or something here??
good god, no!
yeah, i'll come.
((Death!! *tacklehugs*))
Mevolent: I don't know or care who the Dead Men are, but I know you have an infant daughter. You might not for very long if you can't be of any use to me.
#ChaseForBook9
((okay, i seriously think i have lost the plot, gone off my rocker, cracked... this is just too weird...))
ParAdra: YAY! *pulls them towards a nearby club*
*laughs*
Derek, you nerd :P
(Not here, off to school, I'm not on holidays yet ;-;)
((Heh. It's fine, Snow, I'm enjoying watching it. :) ))
#ChaseForBook9
Touch her and I kill you *knees in gut practically the only part of him I can reach* I'm not hurting my friend or letting you!!!
(( *laughs* ari, i am really worried about everyones mental health, including my own, for coming up with this plot of, essentially, talking to ourselves.
*both Snow's laugh and follow adra*
Mevolent: *pushes her through the back wall of her house with air* *casually walks over to her* Just tell me where she lives, and I'll leave you to your pathetic excuse of a family.
#ChaseForBook9
DEREK THIS IS AWSOMENESS BEOND COMPRIHENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be in heaven there!!!!
Partly couse I'm a HUGE Marvel fan!!! AND the other would be that it's YOUR house and that means that I can stalk you ;)
Oh and cool python ... at least I think it's a python ... do NOT act on my guess!!!
I think snakes are cool!!!
And I think that you should call the RSPCA or your local pet adoption place. They might know what to do especially if they can't help you.
*sits up hand on back of head* I really don't know. Ireland? No clue. *sends shadows at him* though I doubt you know what family means, Cecil
ParAdra: *skips in and finds them seats, looking out over the crowd*
*links arms with ParaAdra and ParaSnow*
*whistles "we're off to see the wizard"*
ParaSnow: *laughs*
Hi everyone how are you?
and I'm going to be distant couse I'ma gona watch some Anime's
((hey misti... ANIMEEEEEEE WOOOO))
Mevolent: *glares fiercely at her* You know what? I'll find her myself. *clicks his fingers, tossing a ball of fire at her house, lighting the tree on fire*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Mist!
ParAdra: *goes to the bar and gets herself a drink, still scanning around the place*
((Hey Misti!))
#ChaseForBook9
*whispers to ParaSnow* any clue what or who she's looking for??
ParaSnow: *whispers* not a clue.
(I hate you all... You do the good RPs without me... I have to join... Damn you all...))
*A small smile appears on her face as she watched Mevolent. Decides not to say anything and watch*
NO!!! *sees house in flames and tries getting out just as a dynamite tree explodes hitting me knocking me out cold*
Alexis: *lsees treehouse on fire* MY MOTHER IS IN THERE!!!!
ParAdra: *gets up, ominously following two guys out a side door*
(( okay guys, i need a good cat name for a girl cat in the story i'm writing, any ideas??))
*Races into the treehouse and searches for Zaf* Damn you Mevolent! *Finds Zaf, picks her up and leaps through a window*
*Lays Zaf gently on the ground by Alexis* Gimmie a sec, babe.
*eyes follow ParaAdra* should we...?
ParaSnow: leave it. if the guys don't come back, i'll take a look.
*follows into the hallways and quickly and easily beats the two up, calling the police and skipping away without another word to the Snows*
(No idea, sorry Snoe... :'( ))
*Walks over to Mevolent and frowns* I hate you. I told you that last time but I still do hate you.
*Snow
looks like we're going... should we follow her or just go home... well, to my home.
ParaSnow: lets follow her for a bit.
Alexis: *looks petrified kneeling by Momma* she won't wake....*amazingly the house at once stops burning and rebuilds like nothing happened*
*goes back to the house and peeks in* hmm... *rolls away joking and doing flips*
(( congrats, Ari, you are now a cat in my story.))
(( [randomly hugs everyone]
(( Is not here, recording myself singing badly! XD))
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: *ignores Death, approaching Alexis* If you tell me where Aretha Tesla lives, I'll leave you alone. If you don't, I'll keep coming up with ways to ruin your life. How does that sound?
((Awesome, Snow!))
#ChaseForBook9
((*randomly hugs Fabi back*))
#ChaseForBook9
(( *tacklehugs fabi*))
ParaSnow: this is hopeless... maybe we should just tell your adra to be careful and head back to your place. *thinks* that sounded weird.
*looks at ParaSnow weirdly* sure...
*Stands in front of Alexis with arms crossed* Mevolent, leave the child out of this. I know the whereabouts of Miss Tesla. Of course I do. She is my sister. Leave the child alone.
ParAdra: *disappears into the night*
*changes back into her regular clothes, taking a peek around the apartment place*
Alexis: I don't know who you are! But i don't talk to strangers espeically not ones who exceed normal he- you're Mevolent. *backs away from shaking head* I don't know whwre Aretha lives why don't you run along and go play king?
(*Hugs Fabi back* ))
Mevolent: Then I'll hear it from you. I just need to know where she lives.
#ChaseForBook9
*gets back in time to hear Alexis telling Mevolent off*
*whistles* kids got guts...
ParaSnow: you got that right
(( WBD MSD ))
*Turns her back on Mevolent and hugs Alexis* Baby, when I stamp, run to my base. Zafira will be fine with me. She'll be safe. And so will you. *kisses Alexis' head*
Alexis: DONT TELL HIM ROSE HE WANTS TO HURT HER!!!!! *is sobbing*
*Stands back up and grins at Mevolent* I can show her to you, if you'd like! You still do have some level of care for me, right m'Lord? *Bows and taps foot on the ground*
*sits down at the table with some tea, stirring it absentmindedly*
Mevolent: Actually, no. I've never met you. Also, I think you'd better just tell me. I'm not an idiot.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis! He is still my master and my ties to him run deep! I will show him were my sister is! I'd much rather do that than get you killed!
(I totally don't mean that, Ari!!!)
((It's fine, Death. I get it. ;) ))
#ChaseforBook9
Alexis: no. You are stupid to do that Rose *tries to enter Mevolent's head and screw up his thoughts on Ari*
Ah, okay. You're a jerk then. And, seriously, you could have fooled me. You were demanding the knowledge from a child! *Springs at Mevolent and sends a punch to his jaw* We all know how children lie.
*Thinks loudly to Alexis* I'm way too smart for that, babe! I'd never do it! Love ya!
Mevolent: *removes the air around Alexis' head so she can't breathe*
#ChaseForBook9
*both Snow's stroll into Snow's cabin*
*Sends a kick to Mevolent's knees and an fist to his ribs* DONT YOU BLOODY DARE HURT ALEXIS!!
Mevolent: *shoves Death back into a tree with air* *glares, then turns on his heel and strides away*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis; *starts choking trying to make an air bubble around self but failing*
Javier: *focuses on Mevolent* you did not just attack my kid
((Au revoir.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Shakes head clear and stalks after him, pinning him down with gravity* Yo, I'm not done with you mate! Don't you far turn your back on me!
*a guy appears next to both Snow's*
*kisses me*
*blinks*
ParaSnow: wrong one, Tom *glares*
(Bye Fabulous!! *Huggles* ))
((*has sadistic grin on face* I may or may not have killed Zaffy off))
(( there is something wrong with me... i just made my parallel selfs boyfriend kiss me...))
(Godamn!! I forgot to post the comment!! It's where I saved you!!! Damn it Zaf! I will bring you back!!!))
Mevolent: *keeps walking straight ahead, even though tears begin to form in his eyes from the nightmare* *tosses a ball of fire over his shoulder at Javier* *gets pinned by gravity*
Random shady figure: *tackles Death, breaking her concentration*
#ChaseForBook9
(Snow, I died. It's okay. There's nothing wrong with you.))
((Muhahaha no I want someone to tell Niccolò I want to for ever see his face when someone says Mevolent killed Zaf))
Javier: *dodges fire and focuses still*
Oh I want first
Mine
*wonders what the others are up to*
*shrugs, keeping an eye on her phone* Ughhhghb nn
