Reaction to the book is exactly what I'd been hoping for — shock and AWE. There have been MANY threats of violence and decapitation made against me, which I thoroughly deserve for what I've put you through.
All in all, people have been very good about not spoiling it for others, but dear god, there have been some exceptions. A few things on the Facebook page, a lot of stuff on Twitter, some stuff on Tumblr, and one of the very first Amazon reviews has a major spoiler. I don't understand the need to spoil things for others or to seek out spoilers for yourself, and I really can't understand why anyone would casually mention a plot twist without realising it could ruin things for others.
Basically, beware of the internet, Minions.
But on a lighter note, Orla came to a signing on Saturday and she gave me a photograph of the cake she'd had for her birthday.
Check it OUT.

I have a question and it's a slightly random question BUT it makes sense to me.
If you were unable to feel ANYTHING (as in touch), for 22 years, and then gained the ability to, what would you do?
☂Yeah, sorry....☂
🌂Is totally not sorry🌂
Alexis; *cones out looking happy* Coco called me a friend....
Pet a cat
OH FUCK!
*stabs Trip in stomach with knife before he can react (I have superspeed. It IS before you can react), grabs Hunter and teleports him out of there*
*shakes* Hello?
*slaps him across face*
*glares at Trip* If he never wakes up, Adra is so dead.
#ChaseForBookNine
I would probably resume my normal life, much more ecstatic and hungry for lie.
☂I'd kill myself before I reached 22...☂
☂Actually, no. I'd go up to a random person and start feeling their face while I still had an excuse.☂
OI! Why do I get the wrap for it!
*walks towards engine room*
Ah. I appear to have been stabbed. I'm in quite a lot of pain. Just a second. *walks stiffly out of the room*
#ChaseForBook9
September - welcome to the life of an alien from Mass Effect. Unless they download data to their suits that protect them they can't feel ANYTHING.
That was why I asked btw. For my Mass Effect Fanfiction. Thanks for answering and I will try and use that as research.
🌂Heals Trip🌂
You're forgetting I a doctor. Walking away from help is not advised.
*grabs salt from Hunter's jacket and sprinkles it over him* Hello? Wake up. It's okay, there're gone, you can wake up. Bob, if you're in there, tell Hunter I got them off and salt-ified the gremlins before they could get in. Hunter? Hunter, come back. You're needed, remember? Where would this world be without you? Even Marks admits you're more useful alive than dead. If that isn't proof, what is? Don't give up. Trying is half the battle. COme back. You can do ths.
#ChaseForBookNine
☂_☂
☂Dragona☂
☂At the risk of sounding rude☂
☂Srsly☂
Oh, thanks September. *returns*
#ChaseForBook9
•I'm
☂Also, I meant to have umbrellas there, Trip.☂
@Adra: Because Trip cares about you.
And btw . . . Hunter has greater control over the energy use in his body than humans. This means, if he thinks it's going to shut down, it might well just shut down.
#ChaseForBookNine
Wait- why the hell did you stab him!
☂No problem.☂
@Dragona: I'd want to touch everything. :)
I think.
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm fine, I'm fine.
I thought he'd freak out, not just sort of...
Go limp.
#ChaseForBook9
*begins to cut wires in reactor core and reprograms navigation*
HEY
I AM NOT CHOPPED LIVER
Is it because he would have killed Hunter, the love of your life?
Does this look like Twilight to you? Does Trip look like a gay vampire? (Sorry Fanpires :3)
*raises eyebrow* Gay? None of them were gay. They just... sparkled.
#ChaseForBook9
Okay dont kill each other! *stands up and has shadows in hands* Need I remind you who is on te Surprem Council (I say as a general rule until December all events are pre-LSODM so that it can eventually be read by all of us and no spoilers leak?)
Those were NOT vampires! The very THOUGHT of calling those creatures VAMPIRES is an insult to the proud work of Professor Helsing!
Heh. Supreme council, the bastards.
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: He was a threat. He could be out to murder Hunter. If this was our time, I would kill him. As it is, I'm more worried.
@Hunter: HUNTER. Come on, you're needed. We need you. Without you, lots of people don't have lives. You are people's life. You're MY life. You can come back. Trust me. Always trust Ez, remember?
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, that was my general assumption. ^^
*nods at what Fabi said although she hasn't a clue what it meant*
It was dumb, can we all move on now? We'll never get rid of twilight if we don't stop talking about it.
#ChaseForBook9
*whispers* Ezter
*dissapears off ship in a column of flame* *appears in blogland* hello
Hello...
That's a cool cake.
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at Ezter*
#ChaseForBook9
Trip need I remind you I am on the Council? *looks sligjtly offended*
Hey John
AH! *recoils from the flame*
Who the hell are you?
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf I think that was the point
And Zaf?
#ChaseForBook9
hello adra *throws fireball at ground and creates a campfire*
@Adra: Believe it or not, I have a job and a job description, and in that job description, I have to stop Hunter dying, rescue him if he's captured, and also eliminate any threats to our organisation.
It's a detailed description. You don't need to hear all of it.
COme on, Hunter. I can't make radioactive milkshakes on my own.
@Trip: He thinks that amount of contact will kill him.
Therefore, it might well kill him.
Our species does have a few downsides.
#ChaseForBookNine
hello trip, i am johnathon Apophis, brother of edward.
@Ez: I think you killed them.
*pulls self into crouching position, looking around*
Where is it?
#ChaseForBookNine
*glares at Trip and laughs at the flames* Burn baby burn!
How dramatic.
#ChaseForBook9
I have yet to discover what species that is exactly
Oh. Okay then. Nice to meet you.
#ChaseForBook9
NO
HUNTER
PLEASE COME BACK
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
#ChaseForBook9
yes, i must say that a spaceship will hit the earth by the end of the day. nice to meet you
*relief turns into horror*
Oh. Shit.
*teleports over to yellow shower curtain and teleports it into another room somewhere in Chester*
@Hunter: Gone.
You okay? Need more salt?
*holds up four fingers* How many fingers?
#ChaseForBookNine
1D is on the radio I keep picturing Mara fangirling
Etherdemons is the term, I believe.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Ari! *screams and hits into a wall*
Hmm. I feel like I've been told that.
*shrugs* Still.
*walks into the Chester to everyone else*
*sighs* Oh, good. *ships Ezter super hard*
#ChaseForBook9
((Sorry I'm ignoring people. Doing two of us is hard enough without doing me as well, and both of my characters would be ignoring most of you.))
*looks at Ez with dark eyes* Four. Um, there's a theatre behind you, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs* Omg *dies*
@Fabi: Yup. I don't think we've met, btw.
*eyes begin to lighten*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: What's playing?
#ChaseForBookNine
Some sort of code, I guess,
*shrugs and goes to get herself some water*
Um. Zaf, you ok?
TRIP IF YOU EVER PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN I AM COMING FOR YOU, YOU HEAR ME? BAD! *swats at Trip* *no I don't care that he left the room* *very, very msd*
#ChaseForBook9
No, I do not believe we have met. [Smiles] Nice to meet you.
Somewhat.
[Turns and walks off like I have something important to do]
((Oh, since I didn't greet anybody: Hello Star, Hunter, Ez, Adra, Zaf, Ari, Sir, Trip, Johnathon, Ed, and anyone else))
#ChaseForBook9
*raises an eyebrow in amusement* Ooooh boy
@Ez: I don't really know. It's kind of cool, though. There's evil knights.
. . .
Oh, wait. I think it's an anti-Hunter play. Still cool, though. Maybe I should get myself some evil knight minions.
I'm okay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Fabi: Nice to meet you too. :)
It's okay, Ari. I'm used to attempts on my life. Usually they're intentional, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
No Ari I'm dying of laughter because Alexis is talking and she is giggling non stop becausr she wants to mert you on Google Hangouts hopefully to me
*checks her phone*
Damn.
Be right back.
*makes a portal in the wall and wanders through*
*comes back several minutes later, cutting her hand and the portal closes*
*relaxs*
Hunter, I think you can live wihtout evil knight minions.
Am I portrayed in this play?
Right. Who mentioned Ezter?
#ChaseForBookNine
*eyes widen, stepping back through the portal at the mention of Ezter*'*makes a run for it*
Me. *smiles, then turns and bolts out the door*
#ChaseForBook9
*walks into bar fireball in hand*
*whips out phone, running through the field towards the cover of the woods*
#ChaseForBook9
[Evil laughter from somewhere in the distance]
[Fabi returns]
#ChaseForBook9
*appears in snowstorm* johnathon?
What's this about Ezter?
#ChaseForBook9
*is really pissed off with her dress*
Chrissakes it could have at least make him faint.
*keeps running*
*slides into the cover of a high root, hidden from view. Sends off text*
Come on, come on...
#ChaseForBook9
@Ez: Yup. I think. You're this evil princess person who seduces innocent people, and when you have sex with them they lose their souls and are basically your puppets and sell them to me to become evil knight minions, except you're actually working against me beacuse everyone in my organistaion is treacherous and evil and are only with me for their own gain, so you're going to seduce me, because I don't know how you get your soulless evil people, because I'm apparently an idiot, and then what will probably happen is you'll control me and I'll carry on being evil and the moral of the story is, I am evil, I am always evil and I will never stop being evil.
The actor playing me is good at evil laughter, though. It's cool.
#ChaseForBookNine
*chuckles at the play plot*
I'd have though Ez would have gone after Hunter...
I'm going to go then, g'bye.

#ChaseForBook9
* a man appears a bit off, then in a blink he's next to Trip, puts his hand on his shoulder and the they're in his office, the man walks off*
Phew.
#ChaseForBook9
bye fabi
Bye peeps.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises eyebrow at retreating Tadra* Apparently I'm scary.
Hello, Fabi. Please don't ship Ezter.
@Hunter: Yay, I'm evil! Can you tell me the play after you've watched it?
#ChaseForBookNine
Wow I missed a lot whilst eating dinner...
:( Fours, Fabi . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
bye trip
Bye Dragona, Fabi..
*continues running and comes upon a small village*
*sprints up ahead, slinking between the houses and down the streets in the moonlight*
SHIP EZTER, FABI.
*slinks into a booth at a diner, breathing out* thank the gods.
*sits down, starts working*
#ChaseForBook9
*sigh* The constant 'shipping' certainly grinds upon one's sensibilities. I thought that we had progressed as a people to the point where others' decisions have the right to go unquestioned.
@Adra: This play was made by idiots who don't know us. Don't judge.
#ChaseForBookNine
x.x... no idea where these different conversations are going *backs away*
Hey, I'm not judging.
*leaves the diner without buying anything and slowly makes her trek through the woods*
UGH. UPHILL. *takes off her shoes*
*looks around*
THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS, DAMMIT
*watches my evil knight minions massacre a village*
#ChaseForBookNine
*quietly waits*
Msd, dinner's soon. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, she isn't here yet. I think I'm fine. *takes a phylaxtrite from the drawer and snaps it, is back*
#ChaseForBook9
Okay Star!
*looks around from on top of a hill, facepalming*
Damn.
*calls softly* portalllll oh portalllllll
*here's a growl behind her*'*looks up* Shit.
*takes off running*
PORTAL HEY PORTAL I COULD REALLY USE YOU RIGHT NOW
Aaaiieeee dishes hosed. PORTAL
*trips into the portal, falling into the Chester, taking a bite out of her hand so hard it bleeds and hits the portal*
*breathes out* Damn wolves
Oh hey Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi everyone!
#ChaseForBook9
*is so confused*
*looks up from the floor* *waves wearily*
Hey Rhydian.
Hello Gemma.
#ChaseForBook9
Yo Lewis
Hi Adra!
Hi Trip!
Hi Gemma!
#ChaseForBook9
Lews Therin Telamon!?
Gemma. I still owe you a dance.
#ChaseForBook9
Zaffy lost
What Sir?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Rhydian, hi trip.
Right- I need a new dress. *sighs* I had better hopes for this one...
*disappears into a room*
And yes trip, I know, sorry about last night. I was feeling depressed and asked kor to come dance with ne x.x
Me*
Why are you sorry? It's me who should be sorry.
So, care to dance?
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, I apologize Lewis, I mistook you for a different being.
*looks over at Adra to see if it's ok*
*walks back in, getting a drink* Hey, I'm cool with it.
Oh right. It's me Rhydian. Sorry for any confusion
#ChaseForBook9
*looks back at Trip* yes please :)
Is the Ball still going? You're all wearing dresses and suits
#ChaseForBook9
Excellent. *leads her out to the dance floor*
#ChaseForBook9
I always wear a suit, Rhydian.
I think it's an after party.
#ChaseForBook9
Its the after party :)
*sits in corner quietly*
Afterparties, Rhydian. What you wear whether casual or fancy is optional
Perhaps you should join in the festivities, Zafira?
I have been debating whether or not to explain the nature of my partially theoretical existence to you all.
I ought to have some loopy wine aka Tumblesoz (*glares at Trip* LOOPY WINE)
Adra, thats another beautiful dress.
IT. IS. NOT. WINE.
#ChaseForBook9
*curtsies* Thank you darling
*looks at Trip*
Are you being serious..? I had a whole bottle on Saterday night...
LOOPY WINE *bitch slaps Trip*
Good that you didn't have any more. It gives the worst hangovers. *starts to dance with her*
#ChaseForBook9
It's not wine Zaf...
It doesn't even have any wine in it.
#ChaseForBook9
It has bugs in it.
Well I was feeling ill already so I guess I didnt notice *shrugs and dances with him*
Well, crushed bugs. And only the good bits.
#ChaseForBook9
And beer, and a bit of sugar.
#ChaseForBook9
Trip *glares at and goes to take another sip*
*hums a bit*
*throws a banana at Lewis*
*turns pale*
Can we stop talking about the "wine" I dont want to know what was in it...
I don't think I'm really here. Gtg soon . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*throws banana back to Adra* I told you I HATE bananas!
#ChaseForBook9
*mumbling* It's not wine...
#ChaseForBook9
Well Star, I shall give you a preemptive good bye.
Trip...*puts bottle down*
@Trip Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! *turns a bit green*
Bye Star *hugs*
BANANAS ARE GOOD
Fine. *keeps dancing*
#ChaseForBook9
But I don't like them
#ChaseForBook9
They're an excellent source of potassium
Thank you, Sir. :)
@Trip: I'm not a star, and they call me Star. Edible gliter apparently isn't actually edible and is for display purposes only, and yet it's called edible glitter and I've eaten it multiple times before. When Hunter and Ez teleport, they don't really teleport as such, but they call it teleporting.
*shrugs*
Just beacuse loopy wine isn't wine doesn't mean it can't be called wine.
(Msd)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hrm. I have, quite sadly, reached an extremely difficult position. Curse this fell organ, given the chance to remove it, I would do so before it could beat one denial.
I disagree Star. It's not wine, and it doesn't make you go loopy.
It's a silly name for it.
#ChaseForBook9
I still don't like them though
#ChaseForBook9
@Trip You're a really good dancer, how much practise have you had? *chuckles*
Next to none. Once every ten years for the past forty years for the scottish requiem ball.
But I did watch a lot of strictly episodes before I came yesterday.
#ChaseForBook9
*gives up on trying to interpret Sir*
Well fine then, Rhydian.
*tosses him a watermelon*
*laughs* (brb)
*screams in anger* Jesus fucking Christ! I cant stand my father! I can barely fucking MOVE irl and he's going off how I need to hang the clothes I just got 10min ago from the wash! I can barely fucking move without getting dizzy and he keeps it up! I mean he cant fucking leave me alone I am laying here in fucking pain and he worries about CLOTHES? Not his own kid who threw up 3 times today and didnt even have anything in her stomach, no the fucking CLOTHES he is worried about. Twice today now he barged into my room having a hissy fit over clothes. He knows I can barely move and he knows I'm getting pissy with him when he does that. I cant move he knows that but he continues to pester me is he stupid? If i was able to move a lot I would but I cant physically move without making myself dizzy
I'll eat a watermelon *nods* *starts eating watermelon*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Zaf* Sorry... Perhaps talk to your mom?
Even the outside, Rhydian?
*hugs Zaffy* parents can be like that.
#ChaseForBook9
Well...not the outside.
#ChaseForBook9
Adrasdos, I was merely saying that I find matters of emotions convoluted and difficult to disentangle oneself from.
She has sympathy enough to know when I am like this to back off. I could hve broken a picture of hers she would wait until I was able to actually look at her not my father I mean I got up and took a shower and came back dizzy he doesnt listen to us and he gets mad when I say something
Ah- ta, Sir.
Good, Rhydian. I don't think that bit is bad.
Zaf, talk to your mom and see if she can't give you a hand, even if it is just bringing the clothes up for you to deal with later
*awkward silence*
Awkward silences are very awkward. *nods wisely*
#ChaseForBook9
Indeed, Adrasdos. Though I fear there is little I can contribute to your conversations.
They're in my room its just the matter of putting them away I cant turn on a light well probably could but it wont end well
Ah.
*wanders outside to the balcony, pushing herself up onto the railing, swinging her legs over*
*hums*
Just tell then you will when you are feeling better or perhaps do a few or something?
Wbd. My friend wants to talk on Facebook
#ChaseForBook9
Im fine now I just put the things i have in drawers awau
((KK Rhydian)).
*takes out a water bottle and some pencils and paper, as well as her drawing book, beginning to draw everyone rather well with immense detail in their Requiem Ball outfits*
Back! Back...
#ChaseForBook9
Adrasdos, I never realized you were an artist.
Hey.
I am- 400 years ago, there weren't pictures to be made... In any amount, drawing is more of a challenge.
*holds Alexis to me sitting on the bean bags playing with her hair*
Alexis: can I see Olivia?
Of course...*lets go and shadow walks coming back with Olivia sucking her pacifer looking around*
Alexis: Hi Olivia!
You know, you're changing dresses a lot Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
*without looking up* They keep getting ruined..
Oh yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
back *walks into bar grinning*
Perhaps comparable to how my SUITS keep being ruined by paint?
Olivia: *looks around at everyone dressed up and buries head against Momma*
Olivia baby *tickles cheek* come out silly everyone wants to see your pretty dress! (Looks like Alexis' except pink)
*nods*
Oh yeah, Sir- wonder how that happened.
I dedicate this page to uhm....the rain. Yes the rain because thats what makes the flowers grow. I also dedicate this page to the little ones who attemded the Ball!
Well I got mine cleaned, but it's an after party, I don't need to wear it.
#ChaseForBook9
Hear hear, Zaf.
*pauses* this is true.
Ahem- but at some point I'll have to pull you away from the *sarcastically* raging festives, because you and I never finished your dance yesterday
