You guys rock.
Today is my first free day in... days. Which doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is! Today I bought groceries! GROCERIES! Oooooh!
I've had a few days of highly successful signings, and when I say highly successful, I mean they went on for WAY longer than expected. That kinda drains when they come one after another, but I manage to keep my energy up by soaking up the pain and anguish LSODM has caused you. So it's all good.
Now, fair enough, these three don't look PARTICULARLY traumatised, but I assure you they were crying on the inside.
And this Minion had to put her pain down on canvas in order to deal!
And this one gave me cake! CAKE!
And now that I have a few days off before the Manchester and Liverpool signings this Saturday, what am I going to do?
That's right, I'm going to plot out Book Nine, and discover new ways to ruin your happiness.

«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4928 Newer› Newest»Green man: My name? Now that is privileged information.
#ChaseForBook9
I- uh. Um... Uh... *blushes, unable to form any words*
*Rolls her eyes and sighs* Okay then. Do you know the truth about Baron and myself, sir? *Leans against a wall behind him*
Green man: Actually, there were a few scraps of evidence that led to that conclusion, and a few inexactities in the Serpine story. It was just a ploy, just now, to find out. Thank you for telling me, by the way.
#ChaseForBook9
So... You do know?
Green man: Now, yes.
#ChaseForBook9
He wont be alive
*draws closer to Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
Green Man: Pardon?
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, crap. Crap. Crap. Ah... Okay... *Looks around, almost laughing in shock* Ah, shoot.
There nothing i can do nor will Niccolo be able to
Green man: You may have limitations, but Croatoan, he is limitless.
#ChaseForBook9
*leans in closer, about to kiss him*
*her phone begins blaring music*
*sighs exhaustively* Sorry... I'll have to take this
*Looks up and grins* I don't think you actually know, sir! Tell me then. Tell me what you think you know!
Sure, sure. *steps back*
#ChaseForBook9
I mimick his magic. I am telling you he can't. I'm sorry.
Green man: You are the biological daughter of Baron Vengous, adopted by Nefrarian Serpine for some reason or another at an early stage in your life.
#ChaseForBook9
Green man: No you don't. You're a necromancer, you use your sigils to reverse the flow of life and death, true necromancy.
#ChaseForBook9
Ah... Crap. Okay. I was in the care of Nefarian Serpine because I could have been used as a bartering chip during the war. Nefarian Serpine was not in the field as much as Baron.
I used my true name! Go. I tried and Niccolo will never help you.
So it was only logical for myself to be in his care. He could protect me well enough from the few assassination attempts on my life.
Green man: You did no use the sigils. The sigils hold the true power.
#ChaseForBook9
*picks up the phone, listening in to the report, frowning slightly*
We've managed to get hold of a Genesis member, and we're holding her at base camp Alpha. She was beat up pretty bad and is still in the hospital, but when she revives, you'll want to come down and see this, Grand Mage
*nods* Will do, keep me posted. *turns off her phone*
Right.
That kind of... Killed the mood.
(Msd... School))
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
Like i will anyway
I figured... Dammit. *frowns, turning back to the mirror and taking out a bag, doing her best to make herself look presentable*
Was it just me, or were there gunshots earlier?
Green man: Why not?
#ChaseForBook9
I didn't hear anything.
#ChaseForBook9
Im not confident that you'll...
*sighs and uses sigils to bring man back*
How? They were pretty loud. I figured someone's gun went off or something, but I wasn't sure.
*Pauses* Sir, if you try and force Zafira to help you, I'm sure I will take great pleasure in stopping you.
Feldidae: *gasps for air, and then in pain as wounds heal*
Green man: *is speechless* Th-th.... Th-
Thank you! *is crying in happiness* Thank you Grand mage Kerias! May fortune forever smile upon you and your family!
#ChaseForBook9
Eh. I wasn't paying much attention. I felt too proud and attracted to you really.
#ChaseForBook9
*quietly* I prefer to not bring many back. There please leave my family and friends alone
*Shrugs* Nevermind. *Walks outside and to her base*
Green man: Of course. Of course. Thank you, thank you Miss Kerias. *all four of them start babbling thanks*
#ChaseForzbook9
I-
... Are you alright? You usually aren't this... Open
*smiles* of course now I suggest you go, Cleavers will come for you as you broke into my home
I know. Just talking to Niccolo made me feel like I needed to talk to someone. Open up a little, lest I become like him.
#ChaseForBook9
Green man: Oh yes. That. Thank you again, Miss Kerias, you've been the greatest help in the world. *help Feldidae up and they leave*
#ChaseForBook9
*Writes in her journal and then throws the book away, roaring*
Oh. I don't suppose that's a bad thing. *smiles* You can always come to me if you need anything. Unless it's killing innocent people. That would be unwise
*watches and then hugs Alexis*
Alexis: scary! *hugs*
((OH. By the way, Death- I'm not ignoring you or whatevs... I'm more of watching what you seem to be doing with curiosity. Not in RP, ofc))
*smirks* I love you.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins back* I love you too. *leans forward, kissing him*
Oh.
But if you ever need to kill bad guys, I'd follow you into that any day
*kisses back* Same here.
#ChaseForBook9
*Stands up, kicking her book away slightly* That stupid... I thought it... *Yells and kicks wall*
Im gonna go now as I gtg to choir may may not be back tonight if not cya tomorrow
((okay Zaf!!))
*murmurs* Glad we're on the same page, then... *her hands run through his hair, pulling him closer*
(0.0 and the crowd goes silent)
((Awkward silences Nyehhhhh))
((... I'm alone, aren't I? Damn.))
((TAAAADRAAAAAAA))
#ChaseForBook9
((TRIP, YOU DEPRIVED ME OF MY TADRA
I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE))
#ChaseForBook9
((Omfg xD))
((I'll assume he'd fallen asleep...))
*sneaks off*
... Ari?
*Walks into a room hidden behind a portrait. Walks out ten minutes later with deep cuts on her body*
(Ah... I would respond but I can't see you, Rose))
Sorry, I had to do more stuff... I absolutely love english, and I've always offered my friends help on their english assignments, and this is the first time in years any of them have asked for help, but now I have, like, three papers to edit at once. So... Yeah. Very distant/msd, but I'm poking my head in here when I can.
Death... What are those?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh... Okay.
*accesses the records on her computer, watching the footage of that day from what was salvaged in the remains of the rubble*
*stares in horror* Oh gods
Adra, I understand you have quite the difficult task ahead of you, and whilst I cannot possibly revive all those who have died, there is much that I can do, so if there is any way I might assist you, please notify me.
#ChaseForBook9
I... Is there some way you would be able to, like, scan through the rubble? Or feel for souls? I know most everyone is dead already- that's what those creatures were. But maybe... Maybe there was someone
Certainly. I shall return within several minutes. *vanishes* ((Do you have anything specific in mind for this? If you know whether or not there are survivors- or how many there are- I'll need to know.))
#ChaseForBook9
((There's a hidden basement beneath the building where people could go... I wouldn't assume more than ten or fifteen people would be down there- it'll be closed off and locked, and perhaps symbols to keep out the creatures- I don't know if they'll affect Nic))
((What exactly do they do?))
#ChaseForBook9
((The symbols? The primary thing that it does is keep people out, mutations of human DNA. Anything that isn't human can't get in, but... *shrugs*))
*gets another phone call, watching as lights appear on the floor plans of the meeting areas- tracking devices*
(I'm aware of that, Adra! *Huggles*))
*Stumbles towards to the cupboard across the room and pulls open the door. Searches through the contents, pulling out bandages*
((Alright then.)) *after about twenty minutes, appears with twelve rather disheveled others* They were in the basement, as you suggested. I've healed their more serious injuries, though they'll still have plenty of superficial wounds. And I've not evaluated any of their mental states yet.
#ChaseForBook9
(Msd... In a test...))
((I wish you the best of luck on your test, Death- not as though you'll need it.))
#ChaseForBook9
*stands up* Of course... *eyes widen* What the hell-
Darla? *tacklehugs her friend* OH my god, but- you...
Darla: You think a few dead people could bring me down, Adrasdos? I'm ashamed. Now come on- these people need help.
*nods, then glances at Niccolo* Thank you.... *hugs, then rushes after the people, herding them towards the lab*
*nods in response, and follows at a respectful distance*
#ChaseForBook9
*in the lab, the people are sat down in places around the place- most sitting in the medical bay, but a few out with the equipment, each individually going to the kitchen, finding food as she fills Darla in*
Darla: How many days were we down there? It felt like eternity. *eats an apple*
Adra: Er, about two I think. A bit longer than that. But what happened?
Darla: I was in the basement with a few others when we hear this ruckus above. We locked the doors and used our own blood for sigils. It was all we could do. I could feel the death permeating through the floors... Everyone- I could feel everything they felt. It was like staring into the eyes of a giant. We're in good condition, however. But when the building fell, a few things injured some od us... but we're okay- just a few scratches, thanks to that guy.
Adra: Oh god... *whispers* Do you fancy him? At a time like this?
Darla: *shrugs* Any time is sexy time- especially with a face like his.
Adra: *steers her away* No. NOPE.
Hello, Snow.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Snow!))
*laughs lightly, leaning against a wall* Oh dear Lord...
#ChaseForBook9
i may disappear at any time, just to let you know!
Alright then. I'll say goodbye now in case you do have to leave.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins*
niccolo is being crushed on? *laughs*
((Okay Snowlock! <3))
Adra: *glares at Darla until she gets to work, helping wrap up the cuts and cleaning them*
*begins to work herself on gathering fresh clothes and assigning people times for the cleaning facilities, rushing around tending to people's needs*
Darla: *shouts* So you're Grand Mage now, right?
Adra: *shouts back* YEAH.
Darla: MIND MAKING ME A DETECTIVE? *gives eyes at Niccolo* I'd have to arrest him...
Adra: DARLA FOR CHRISSAKES
*falls over laughing*
Darla: *giggles, then turns back to wrapping someone's head up*
Adra: *mumbles* I swear to Christ, that girl...
*thinks for a moment, then approaches Adra* The two of you seem rather busy. May I be of any further assistance?
#ChaseForBook9
*nods her head to to kitchen, grinning* I'm assuming you know how to cook- which isn't necessary, but these people need food and water- there's already a schedule for them in the showers, and when they come out they'll get their clothes... Afterward, we'll need to set up places for them to bunk out for the night.
*gets up from laughing*
*leans against wall*
any way i could help?
Are there any certain foods you'd like them to be eating, or shall I simply cook whatever I happen to find?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, Snow- start setting out blankets and pillows for everyone. I have a few beds in the guest rooms, and the Med bay, unfortunately, isn't that comfortable... Not to mention the lights hardly ever go out.
As for food and water- I don't think they'll care, so long as it fills them up..
Darla: I want to be filled up-
Adra: *hits Darla with her shoe* NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
*gestures to the two kids in the room* THERE ARE CHILDREN
i'll get some folding beds.
*teleports away*
*comes back with five folding beds*
*thinks*
*disappears, coming back with 20 sleeping bags*
there we go.
g2g!!
bye
*finishes wrapping up the last person, sending them off then goes and sits by the children, who are dead silent*
*pauses a minute, noticing that the little boy is on the verge of tears, and gathers him in her arms, hugging him with one arm, the girl in the other*
Um. I'll just go, then. *turns towards kitchen, folds coat neatly over a chair, and begins preparing food*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Snow- thank you.
94%!!
Goodbye, Snow, and thank you.
#ChaseForBook9
That's rather impressive, Death. Congratulations.
#ChaseForBook9
*about half of the people find places to sleep, close to each other, the other half sitting at tables- no one seems right enough to sleep*
*looks at the kids- the girl seems to be about right, the boy around five*
Adra: what are your names?
Boy: *sniffs* Daniel... *begins crying again, burying his head into her shoulder*
Girl: I'm Fiona... He's my little brother..
Adra: really? And how did you two end up in Delhi?
Fiona: Our parents were working upstairs... Darla was looking after us and took us down to the basement to look for something with a few other people when the bad guys came in...
Woo! Go Rose!
*lifts Daniel in one hand, taking Fiona's and taking them to the kitchen, setting them both at the high table, then going to the pantry for something sweet for them*
*sets out a plate of vegetables, some chicken, fruit salad, and a small plate of brownies* *passes out plates, napkins, and silverware* *retrieves coat*
#ChaseForBook9
*watches as people come and go, taking from the plate and thanking him* Niccolo Croatoan, look at you- you ought to go on one of those food competition shows
*gives the children each a skulcake* *nods* Best decision ever. *watches as their faces light up at the taste* *grins*
NICCOLO :D
*smiles* Aretha thought the same when I first cooked for her, but I would argue that 500 years ought to provide more than enough experience. Who are the children?
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Zafira.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Zaf!
*gestures to the five-year old* This is Daniel. *gestures to the eight year old* And this is Fiona. They were with Fiona... I'm also under the impression that their parents fell during the attack.
They were sitting alone, and they looked scared... I'm doing my best to cheer them up
Hey! Im assuming you're someplace with...Adra. And I assume I cannot help therefore I shall talk to you instead and try to keep Alexis from taking over my iPod
I am certain there is plenty to do. Perhaps Alexis would like to meet Daniel and Fiona- they are younger than she, but interacting with another child might be comforting to them. I found a few survivors from Delhi, and brought them here. Adra is simply providing them with necessities, and I have volunteered to assist her to the best of my ability.
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes, ignoring Zaf, bringing the kids to the living room where Darla is, and Fiona sprints to her, jumping in her arms, but Daniel stays with her, drowsily*
Darl, mind looking after them?
Darla: Do you know who I
Adra: *sighs irritably* Darla, please.
Darla:... Of course. *curls up with Fiona, turning on the television*
If it involves Adra...I'll pass. I can't actually help unless she asks because of the whole different Council thing though Alexis can help though she'll prbably be attached to you
Right then. Is there anything else I can do for you, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*raises an eyebrow curiously, and tries to detach Daniel from her*
*gives a tug*
*frowns*
*gives another tug- he still doesn't let go*
Darla: *laughs*
Adra: *glares at Darla*
*ducks under his arms and lays him down on the rather comfy, large couch, tucking him in and ruffling his hair before giving a pointed to look to Darla* *whispers* If you leave these children at any point in the night, I will skin you.
Darla: *whispers* I can't control my urges-
Adra: Darla
*Daniel stirs*
*gives Darla a hard glare before leaving the room*
*sighs staying in the treehouse* You can come bme if that thing allows you. (Meaning Adra and not trying to insult you Adra! Dont take offense I loves you)
*walks back out to see people beginning to settle down for the night- some already asleep, most vertical*
No thank you, Niccolo. I do appreciate the help, whoever. Go rest up, or whatever you do. Before Darla gets out.
*nods to him before ascending a level to her office, hard at work again, but not before grabbing the results of the substance in her arm*
((Love ya ;D))
Adra has not so much as asked me for anything, Zafira. I volunteered to assist her.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah well it can manipulate.
Alexis: *sighs* Niccolo ignore her she's jealous *laughs*
Alright. If there is anything more I can do at a later point, I shall be more than willing to do so. *leaves the lab*
Jealous of what?
#ChaseForBook9
*reads the results on the paper* *Murmurs* Toxin.. Second hand... *nods* Harmless, then. Just a regular... Human... bite...
*wraps her forearm up again, carefully watching a screen with trackers on a map of New Delhi*
hi again...
distant, but is there anything i could do to help...?
Hello, Snow.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Niccolo she likes you like likes you you were with Adra *laughs* You're the smart one!
Msd so god help you if i dont see you tomorrow Niccolo
I shall attempt to be here as often as I can be.
#ChaseForBook9
Good. One day you need to ask Aretha to do Google Hangout with me...
((Hi, Snow! Bye if you disappear, Zaf! *hugs both*))
*paces in the office, frowning at a list in her hands*
Unfortunately, Darla... Now here's the real question- Bermuda or Vivinelli?
Ah, yes. She would have done so already, were it not for the constraints of her schedule.
#ChaseForBook9
((my leg keeps twitching... it is extremely irritating!))
*walks around, checking with the people that are still awake*
*sits against a wall, hands on knees*
*takes out a sheet of designing paper, beginning to sketch an outline for the new building, a thought formulating in her mind, all angles*
I understand maybe tomorrow evening I mean I'm not going anywhere this weekend as far as I'm aware! *shadow walks to and hugs tightly* You owe your sister a hug you know she does deserve it you know.
((Hey if you two DO end up Hangout-ing, make sure to add me in- only for a bit though, I'm sure Zaf wants to get her words in :3))
*works for quite a bit longer, yawning, still drawing the plans*
*eventually puts a stop to it, trudging from her office and back to the foyer*
*murmurs* *sings quietly* When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep....
I'm sorry, who?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis dear god Niccolo *pokes head* anyone wait no never mind 49 people are home in there!
((We will though Niccolo may never look at me the same talking to me face to face is scary))
*yawns again* Well at least that stupid hangover's gone.... *trudges to a security room that has eyes all over the lab, sharply lit, sitting in front of the monitors, monitoring*
*slouches against wall*
*someone pokes me*
*glares at a man*
I need to sleep so i do wake up tomotrow!
*pkaces a charm in Niccolo's hand, my family crest which ill explain when i can think* Decline I smack you very hard with a frying pan, dont doubt me Niccolo *smiles innocently kisses his cheek and shadow-walking* Good night!
g2g, byee
((Bye Snow, Zaf! *waves*))
*climbs up to the tower instead, her feet hanging off the side, looking out over the Blogland, turning the amulet over and over in her hands*
*takes out a sketchbook, beginning to draw a scene- tents in a field in a small part of Germany- or, what currently is Germany. Death, despair- dying. A pile of bodies at the side, a man lying on the grass, with a hooded figure bent over his as he lay dying- all of this in intricate detail*
*frowns at the scene* Hmm
*picks up her pencil again, adding more detail*
hello again.
i will probably be disappearing an reappearing all day. sorry about that
*yawns once more*
*heads back down to her office, sitting in front of the blueprints, carefully drawing them into the night*
((I'll be going now- nighty night! *hugs))
((bye adra! *huggles* *scowls* i cant find a post from dau... dont worrie*
i wanna get first...
*grins*
nice.
i ded to...
penguins.
yes, penguins. this freedom fighter and defier of gravity is also the penguin queen.
thus, i ded to penguins. because they are epic.
*nods*
and now i have to go.
Hear hear!))
*Grimaces against the pain and wraps her arms up, trying to stem the bleeding*
hello...?
"he stole through the shadows"
don't you just love that description??
btw, it's friday the 13th!! [DUN DUN DUN!!!]
Whats up guys? Todays my lucky day!
Friday the 13th!
Hello.
It is indeed Friday the 13th... AND I have two tests.
Yay.
On the other hand, I have downloaded the Mass Effect 3 Soundtracks and I am listening to the 'Rannoch' theme right now. Which is good.
BUT the only copy of The Art of the Mass Effect Universe in a book shop nearby is in Leeds... which is far away. Damn you Waterstones...
And it seems no one is here.
I have to go now. Bye!
okay... there is something wrong with all the test i have done. they appear to think that i have the emotional range of a dead man. Translation: they say i would be skullduggery if i were a character.
*scowls* i answered them very seriously and in a funny way, and on all they said i would be SP yet my friend was china...
*Stumbles towards the door leading outside with her arms covered in bandages. Looks around and flicks her hair out of her eyes, struggling to remain strong even with the pain coursing through her*
hey death
My little bro and I are fighting while singing You Don't Make Friends with Salad!!
ASDFGH!!!!
I AM NOT LIKE SKULLDUGGERY!!!! GAHHHH!!!!!
*throws chair at wall*

right, thats... 10 test now that have said i would be skullduggery. i refuse to believe that. i am not like him. i mean, i like the fact that he solves crimes, but... *shakes head* it's kinda insulting to be compared to a dead man.
God damn... I'm Tanith...
*scowls*
at least thats better then a dead man!!
But I'm a psychopathic weirdo with a shadow inside her.
Part of me has been alive for many years beforehand.

Guys, I got Ghastly... I mean, I'd be thrilled, because Ghastly is awesome, but it said "You're an elemental but dislike fighting", and I'm like, what? That is just plain wrong. So clearly the thing gave me the wrong person. Oh well.
