Let Them Eat Cake

Great first weekend of the tour. I started off with a signing in Liffey Valley in Dublin, then went all over London, signing merrily. On Wednesday I'm appearing at the Mountains to the Sea festival in Dublin. Last year I talked about the movies that had influenced the books, but this year is going to be a completely different, one-off event. Should be funny...

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.

So we can't carry the flag, then hit people with it, steal their flag then run back with it?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Shit... Who's on my team? Star and her gang and Fabi, yeah?

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

@Calidae: I'm not entirely sure if we've met either! So, nice to meet you too :)

You can call me Flora/Flo/Ophelia/Lia or any variation of either name :)

#chaseforbook9

Chione Asahina said...

Fabi whos team is trip in? ^.^

Calidae Dark said...

...no

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Okay, wbd for a minute while I write a ded.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Who's on who's team?

#ChaseForBook9

Ieni Lorarté-Strider said...

Hi, Trip!!!:) *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*

I am so confused.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

No your flag stays in it's hiding spot. You can't move it.

Calidae Dark said...

okeydokey. Have we started?

Chione Asahina said...

Wait if flora left, would trip take her place ob our team?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Teams. Who's on my team?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf and Alexis: There are disadvantages to being mortal, but in many ways they're far better than us. You're acting like being mortal is a bad thing. I'd rather be a mortal than a sorceror like you any day.
Go and be miserable and miss out on all the fun if you want. Leave us to pick up the pieces you left behind, why don't you.

((Once again, no offense, sorry.))

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

I dont even know whos on...

Chione Asahina said...

On*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I already closed the program. Anyone new who joins will either go on the team with less members or pick a side.

Yeah, it'd take less than five minutes to redo it, probably thirty seconds for one more person, but I really don't feel like it.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Juggernaut.
Okay.
Fabi, Star, Hunter, Ez, Me.
Zaf, Alexis, Saph Gemma.
Those were the original teams.

IF YOU ARE PLAYING AND NIT MENTIONED ABOVE TELL US YOUR TEAM NOW

Noelle said...

*NOT


Goddamn

Calidae Dark said...

Im on saph + gemma + zaf + alexis's team, as far as im aware

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Adra
Me
Star
Hunter
Ez
Ieni (if she plays)

Saph
Cali
Gemma
Flora (if she plays)
Trip

If someone wants to switch so Tadra can be together, that's okay...

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'll be on Zaf's team. Team Keiras.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Thanks! :)

By the way, Star is rubbish at like, everything, so um yeah. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

howabout we play now?

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Adra; Yeah, replace Zaf and Alexis with Cali and Flora. Trip and Ieni can choose a team each, I guess.

Chione Asahina said...

Trip...zaf isnt playing.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Ummmmm. Fine, I'll do what you want and be on Area's team.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I thought Zaf quit?

Well, if she's playing, she's on your team.

Let's just start now?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks, Fabi! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra's team, damned autocorrect.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

This is confusing...

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Fabi: Understatment. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

* gets bored of all the confusion * THIS IS WAAAAR! * charges *

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Brb, sorry!

#ChaseForBook9

Chione Asahina said...

Someone on adras team come to us. trip wants to be with his gf.

Noelle said...

I give up. Okay let's just go.
Each team has earpieces.

Only that team can hear. ((So if they talk here pretend you don't know okay?))

Queen Flora Ophelia of the Flowers; Leader of the New Land of Stickers; Prophet of the New Order; General of the Shadow People said...

Sorry guys! Must dash!

Probably won't be on in the next few days (seeing The Lumineers at the iTunes Festival in London :D omg), but I'll make sure to come on and say bye before I head off on my holiday! :D

G'bye! *hugs everyone*
<3

#chaseforbook9

Noelle said...

Hell no! *grins at Trip* FIGHT LIKE A MAN

Calidae Dark said...

ooh cool earpieces

Calidae Dark said...

....suddenly I am all alone. I have no team.

Star Inkbright said...

Good idea, Adra. :)

I'll swap if people want?

Why you would exchange Trip for me is beyond me, however. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

Saph, you there?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

What? Fine, I'm on the other team that's not Adra's team. *charges*

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*screams*


I HAVE DOUBLE SCIENCE ON FRIDAY

OH GOD
NO NO NO
THIS IS BAD
THIS IS REALLY REALLY BAD
OH NO
OH GOD
THIS IS SO SO SO SO BAD

#ChaseForBook9

Chione Asahina said...

*grabs calis arm*

Just stay with me, k? ^.^

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'm with you Cali!

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*should not be here and probably isn't, either*

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

* smiles * Thanks gem

Noelle said...

*takes her team's flag and hiding it behind the waterfall*

Calidae Dark said...

Careful, Mara, you just arrived in the middle of a war

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Okay, I dedicate this page to a lot of things.
A) Us ACTUALLY PLAYING capture the flag XD
B) The first day of spring (Which was two days ago, but whatever.)
There's a little tree outside my window. It's a small tree, and very fragile. At the moment, it's covered in beautiful pink flowers. They're really stunning.
Unfortunately, it will only flower for one week a year. The rest of the time, it's a dead plant, a bunch of sticks and twigs.
It's kind of like us, in a way. We only exist for a short while, but while we do, we add so much colour to the world. When the week is up, the blossoms will fall off and no-one will notice the tree again. But for now, in this moment, I'm looking at the fragile flowers and hearing the birds chirp for spring... and it's beautiful. And peaceful.
There's this poem we're looking at in class, by Robert Frost. It goes;

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
So leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn must turn to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Noelle said...

Hi Mara! That sucks :((

*NO ONE SAW WHERE I WENT I AM NOT MAKING THIS EASY HOORS*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Mara]

Okay, we're starting now. [Nods]

#ChaseForBook9

Chione Asahina said...

*mission impossible music comes on again as she ducks behind walls and runs*

Noelle said...

I love that poem!!!
*hugs Saph* *raises glass* Hear hear

Alexis said...

im sorry....can i just play...no you wont let me forget it...

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara; *hugs* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :(
I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

@CTF: *charges* *runs into tree*

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*rolls into forest, moving to flank*

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

@saph, theres this street I used to have to go through to get to my old school every morning and it was lined with those trees. They were always stunning that one week, but the petals always blew off

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

GLAH I POSTED THAT BEFORE I MEANT TO. GIVE ME A MINUTE TO FINISH IT.

Star Inkbright said...

@Saph: That ded is amazing . . . *smiles*

#ChaseForbookNine

Noelle said...

*hides behind the water, almost completely invisible, and silent*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*beckons to Alexis while hiding behind a tree* Psst. You can be on my team! Come, quick!

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hear hear!

Alexis, you can play on Trip/Gemma/Saph/Cali's team.

[Goes over to the woods and acts sneaky]

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*frowns* Shouldn't we have a strategy . . . ?

Never mind. *looks at Ez* *starts running*

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

*checks behind her to see if cali's ok and keeping up*

Alexis said...

Guys i really dont think the rules are fair on people who cant fight! I cant fight so does that mean i shouldnt play? Zaf sucks at fighting so i guess we get left out because we cant use magic, this isnt even a proper game its Adra makin rules and everybody mindlessly following her. Nobody cares that its not fair on someone so therefore my team is gonna lose because 2 players are worthless

Calidae Dark said...

* into earpiece * They'll never guess that our flag is in the volcano!!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

NO NO NO

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

NO NO NO

OH GOD

MY SCIENCE TEACHER YELLED AT ME FOR HUMMING BEST SONG EVER WHILE SHE WAS TALKING AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS DOING IT TBH AND I WAS HUMMING SO SOFTLY A BLOODY MICROPHONE WOULDN'T PICK IT UP

AND SHE SAID TO ME JUST AS THE BELL RANG,

"I'll talk to YOU on Friday."

I'M SO SCARED BECAUSE SHE HATES ME ALREADY AND SHE'S LIKE EXTREMELY SCARY AND OH GOD NO

I DON'T WANT TO GET A DEMERIT D:

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*follows Hunter*

*into earpiece* Okay, me and Huner are in the forest.

#ChaseForBookNine

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

We're gold, in a way. New and exciting and young and beautiful. So I dedicate this page to every one of us. Sure, we can't stay forever, but while we do, we're everything good and beautiful in the world. And it's spring, and I'm in a weirdly happier mood than I have been in a while, so I'm going to enjoy my sentimentality while it lasts :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Shut up, get over here and help me. This is now officially part of your fighting training.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hear hear! *hugs Saphy*

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

I feel horrible now someone wanted to be on my team..now no i think im leaving for good this just proves my point

Noelle said...

((Zaf you don't need to fight- you just need to run))
*slinks back further*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You'll be fine Mara. Secondary school teachers do that, they act all big and tough, but they never even talk to you on Friday.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

And what about me? Oh screw it I dont even want to play im a waste for any team because Adra made the rules so i cant so anyrhing

Noelle said...

((Mara caaaalllllmmmn down))

Calidae Dark said...

oh I just remembered, isnt there that thing where the other team can only hurt you if you're on their turf and vise versa?

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Bye Zaf/ Alexis if you're going!
*Stares at Cali*
Into earpiece; Please tell me you made it fire proof first. *Goes on defense*
Do you want to cover Trip while he works out where the flag is?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Zaf, although Adra suggested it, we all agreed. I like the idea. If you want to play, to be one of us, you can, but we won't tailor the rules to suit your every whim.

Also, you're not without strengths. Alexis, for example, is really small and could use that to her advantage and sneak around.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Just help me. I can't sit here forever. We're going to go and capture that flag, and it's going to be amazing. Bit it'll be easier with a team mate. *holds hand out*

#ChaseForBook9

Chione Asahina said...

*reaches the half-way point and pulls cali down*

*whispers* We're entering enemy territory, get ready for people jumping out, just follow my lead.

Star Inkbright said...

@Alexis: I can't fight, either. XD I'm even more worhtless than you. I ran into a tree.

*contnues running* *trips over branch*

I'm THAT bad. XD

@Mara: *hugs* It'll be okay. She'll probably just tell you to pay more attention. Teachers try to scare you into not doing things again, but for good little people like us, a scare is all it really needs. She probably won't think it necessary to punish you. *hugs*
It'll be okay.:)
And hey. You have to get a demerit sometime, unfortunately. :( Other people'll get way more than you, don't stress. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Oh, make up your mind.

[Sneaks quietly through the woods]

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Don't worry, Mara *hugs* At least when they tell you off, you know they won't throw stuff at you :( It'll be okay.
(Cali, did you ever have Miss Blackwood in Year 6? She threw my tray at me)

Alexis said...

No do it yourself im not even sure what im doing i give up bye guys not coming back thank Adra :)

Calidae Dark said...

YES I HAD MISS BLACKWOOD!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Trip fights mainly with his magic and speed, he isn't all too strong. Without magic, he's just using his speed and skill, it doesn't suit most of us.

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

* looks at Gemma * ready when you are

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

SHE THREW A CHAIR AT THE STUDENT AND TOLD PEOPLE OFF FOR CRYING!

Star Inkbright said...

@Alexis and Zaf: Either like it, lump it, or go away and stop ruining it for everyone else.

((Sorry, again. Look, when my characters insult any of you - don't take it to heart, okay? *hugs*))

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*in her earpiece*
Adra to team. Come in team. What's the verdict?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Mara]

Zaf, you're being unfair on all of us. See you next time Ari/Nic comes on!

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Fine. I'll do thus alone. Like everything... *sighs, pulls up hood and stalks off into the woods*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Saph: WHAT?????????? :O

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

@Saph - she was who taught me capture the flag. I remember the first time we played, at camp, and it was sooo insane.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hi Adra. Um... I'm walking sneakily through the woods. I can't see their flag.

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

Then why are we playing without any SKILLS? That's a waste of time in my book. WASTE. Why bother doing something where you can show off things you know and instead be told no. That's pointless we aren't mortal people use the skills you have it'd be more exciting.

Calidae Dark said...

* she was THE ONE who taught me

Chione Asahina said...

*grabs cali's hand again*

*into earpiece* Cali and I are on the enemy's side, we'll help find where the flag is, Trip, if you find it, help guide us to it k?

Alexis said...

I dont erven know who is on what team...you guys dont even want me playing so thanks

Star Inkbright said...

*me and Hunter keep looking around whilst running, circling each other and looking from side to side. Not going to bother with a detailed description, so just accept the fact we're looking around*

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh yeah REAL fun oh just run fuck it. Ok you guys made the game POINTLESS no action no nothing we all have magic why are wasting that it'd be more interesting and thisis like now for a kid Olivia's age i mean no weapons? Why? Because once again I cant fight so she made sure i wouldnt want to play she doesnt even like me i dont even have a team because im hated

Calidae Dark said...

* into earpiece * Oh, and Trip? I think I saw adra near the waterfall. It might be under the lake or something, if you get the chance to check it out

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Alexis, this puts us out of our comfort zones. It's a challenge. When you're this old and this powerful, challenges are things you search after, and put yourself in danger for.

And you'll never get skill if you don't learn.

*is now in enemy territory*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*to saph* Holy shit... That's uh... Dangerous.

*crouches down, ready to strike anyone*

Star Inkbright said...

@Alexis: We DO want you playing. We have invited you to play multiple times. You just don't want to.

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Alexis, if you're going to play, please play and stop complaining about no one wanting you. Because we are perfectly willing to let you play, you just keep badmouthing the game like you want no part in it.

Your team, if you join, is Trip, Cali, Saph and Gemma.

And if you're leaving, then go. The choice is yours.

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

I dont know teams i dont know what im doing and i dont like fighting weaponless im youngest im already screwed so its not even fair on me i BARELY have ANY training isnt that a little unfair?

Noelle said...

*picks up a rock*
*tosses it in the air*
*catches it*

Hell yeah

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Hides behind tree as Trip passes, then slips past him]

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

Okay, to everyone whos hating on the game/the rules: We're doing this for FUN. Your life isnt going to depend on the outcome. Nobody is going to actually physically die. Its a GAME. The best way to have fun is to just go with it, ok?

Star Inkbright said...

You're honing other skills, Alexis. You can't always rely on magic. This will teach you important skills. I'm not just saying it. I organise games like this for my organisation all the time, and we're the biggest, most successful orgnasation in the world.

#ChaseForBookNine

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Into earpiece; Sorry Trip, I'm on defense *Looks over forest*
Zaf, I'm sorry, but I don't have anything good to say to you so I'm not going to say anything.

Star and Cali; She was the worst teacher ever. I still hide from her in the corridor three years later *shudders*
My friend Xena cut her finger once.
Miss Blackwood; Stop crying! Crying is stupid and weak and doesn't help anything! Go to the nurse!

Xena; Bu-but I don't know where the nurse is!

Miss Blackwood; You've been here six weeks You should know by now! (Yells for a few minutes) (Insert my given name)! Show her where the nurse is!

Me; But I don't know either!

It's funny in hindsight, but I was SO scared at the time.

Alexis said...

Adra will win because SHE made the rules just saying...I dont even know what im doing...oh why bother

Alexis said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
Noelle said...

*whispers*
Team.

Team am I the only one on defence?

Chione Asahina said...

*stops when she sees waterfall*

*whispers* Cali, isnt this where you saw Adra?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I'll protect you. I'm supposed to be teaching you, so, here I am. This is a lesson. Take it or leave it. Keep in mind leaving it shows me complete disrespect and is also cancelling your last chance for a teacher over some petty feud.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Alexis: What about when your magic is bound? You're going to need this stuff. You'll be glad of it one day.

@Hunter: Most successful? Do you have proof? Oh, never mind.

#ChaseForBookNine

Alexis said...

What skill? A day of training? I trained with knives not hand to hand combat this puts me at a disadvantage entirely at least my mother had a few years in hand to hand combat! I had not even a day

Maralie Lily Charm said...

ONE DIRECTION POEMS YAY THIS SHOULD TAKE MY MIND OFF THINGS

I love Lou
Lou loves me
Let's gang up and... kill Harry..? D:
With a cat scratch scratch
Curly's on the floor
No more Larry hardcore...

THIS IS EVIL HOLY JEBUS

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

Fine whatever this is a retarded game anyway

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I can pull back if necessary, Adra.

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

Alexis, Im sorry if you're upset. But please stop hating on everything/adra. You have two choices: Play, or dont. Its entirely up to you. If you want to play, we will ALL be more than happy to let you do so. If you dont, we wont hold it against you.

Noelle said...

*falls silent, standing up on the ledge behind the waterfall, invisible, picks up the rocks*
*waits*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

It's so tempting to use my Sensitive powers to work out exactly where everyone is XD
*Is glad there's no vegetation on the volcano, because it means I can see everyone coming*

Star Inkbright said...

@Alexis: Of course Adra's going to win, she's on MY team. *kicks Ez before she can say something along the lins of "Yes, that's really helping."

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

* to gemma * Yes... but I didnt see where she went after that. Shes probably round here, on defense or something

Star Inkbright said...

You have barely any training? Then you should get some, and you can get some by playing.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Im not comfortable at ALL so i have no hope whatever you want me to do fine dont expect me to do anything spectacular since im not allowed ANYTHING worth my attention

Noelle said...

*can't answer Fabi*

*gets down, ready to throw at any minute*

Chione Asahina said...

*camps round the corner from the waterfall, watching it carefully*

*into earpiece* Trip, can you focus and meet cali and I at the waterfall?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I'm going to second what Cali said.

[Hears no answer from Adra]

[Turns to head back, moving quickly, but reasonably quiet]

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

* to gemma *Where d'ya think she is?

Star Inkbright said...

@Alezis: Then GET a day. *gives 'duh' look*

((Five seconds, Mara. Three profiles is urgh. D:))

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*appears by Gemma's side* Hey.

#ChaseForBook9

Alexis said...

I dont know why we have to play by ADRA'S rules its always HER nobody else i spoke up nobody agreed. *glares at Trip* Fine what do you want me to do? I get killed you go to prison for my death.

Star Inkbright said...

@Saph: I know what you mean. Me and Hunter can usually sense around ourselves, so we're trying to do the equivilant of shutting our eyes. It's hard. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*cautiously picks up more rocks*
*accidentally kicks one into the cave*
*resists the urge to curse, hoping the water was louder than the rock*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Guys, I know how I can find the flag. I need a distraction.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Stops at the edge of the woods and considers whether to approach the three]

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: *laughs* *hugs*

THAT POEM IS . . . UM. :P

ILY. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Cali and Gemma; I wouldn't try to fight Adra. Maybe surround it from a distance, so you can see all angles and can work out where she is. Then Trip can distract her (I beat he's good at that :P) and you two can keep going.

Alexis said...

Dont expect me. I dont want to distract nobody will even notice me so its worthless.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Alexis, you're with me.

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

Alexis, you dont have to like the rules! And there is no one stopping you from telling us how much you hate the rules, though I think we'd all appreciate it if you didnt. But please, dont keep picking on Adra. Its not very nice.

Chione Asahina said...

*whispers to Trip and Cali*

Ok I think shes behind the rocks, or maybe IN the water, we need an attack plan before she calls back-up.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is not even sure where I'm supposed to be* see I have no bloody idea what im doing

Star Inkbright said...

I have a suggestion. Let's all ignore Zaf. We're wasting time talking to her, and maybe she'll shut up if we stop showering attention onto her.

((Really sorry, Zaf. Hunter speaking, not me.))

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh, and glad you could make it. *grins*

I need to get to the bar. I can find the flag from there.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Steps on a twig]

[Panicked whisper]

Adra, they must have heard me! They're going to find it!

[Takes several steps back into the woods]

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

Trip, I'll be a distraction.Im good at that.

Noelle said...

*cautiously readies more rocks*

*shields the flag with rocks the best she can, almost invisible on sight*

Star Inkbright said...

We all thought Adra's rules were good. They're ALL OF OUR rules. Adra just happened to suggest them.

Agreed, Hunter.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

So ignore me thanks Hunter im playing but im ignored? Now im crying thanks

Chione Asahina said...

Distraction huh?

*grabs Cali and throws her round the corner*

*stays low*

Zaf, to be honest, with how you were behaving, I'm supposed it wasn't suggested sooner.

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

* into earpiece * What now?

Chione Asahina said...

*facepalm*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

If you want to play, I won't ignore you playing.

If you want to leave, I won't ignore you leaving.

If you want to complain, I will ignore that, however. Sorry.

* ino earpiece * Team, report. Saph, is anyone getting close?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Alexis. I already said, you're with me. Now stay low.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: *sarcasm* I'm devastated.

((*hugs Zaf* Sorry. Hunter is, you know, screwed in the head and hated by the majority of the world. And seen as evil and all that. DOn't listen to him; his opinion isn't worth much.))

*turns towards Adra with Ez*

I have asked TWICE what to do and got no response so again: WHAT. DO. YOU. WANT. ME. TO. DO

Noelle said...

*whispers lowly* Hunter be QUIET

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I thought I heard something... *looks at the woods, suddenly alert*

Zaf; Seriously. I'm about to snap. If you don't like the rules, leave! This is immature and selfish to expect all of us to change to do what you want, just because you told us to.
You keep saying that everyone hates you. Not only is that not true, but if you want to be friends with everyone, wow, here's an idea; stop saying horrible stuff about people! It's bad enough to hear that one of my blogsisters has been slagged off by someone, but when it's another Bloglandian I get really mad. I always try to avoid fights and anyone who knows me would tell you I'm the most peaceful person in the class, but you've pushed me over the edge.

Chione Asahina said...

Im gonna help Cali, Trip, good luck.

*goes around and approaches from a different angle so she can't be seen*

Star Inkbright said...

*agrees with person I haven't met yet* *stops arguing*

You guys, charge, Alexis, follow me. *stays low, hiding behind things, moving quickly from one cover to the next, working his way to the bar.*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Whispers]

Hunter, Ez, Star, you're the offense now. I'm helping Adra, or about to. I'll join you if it's safe, later.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Cali; I don't know I heard something, but it could just be an animal.

Calidae Dark said...

* sees Gemma out of the corner of my eye *

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Zaf, I've answered three times.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Is also approaching from a different angle]

#ChaseForBook9

Calidae Dark said...

Saph - Dont take any chances.

Alexis said...

*just follows Trip really confused and feeling worthless because she is*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*runs and rolls through the bar door undetected*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*whispers into microphone* I am being fucking quiet!

*sees Ez giving me a look that says "Yes, you're maing no noise by speaking to her"*
*gives her a "What?" look back*

#ChaseForBookNine

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Looks into the woods and sees movement* There! *Doesn't leave post, in case it's a distraction* *Squints*
Into earpiece; I can see someone. I thin it's Fabi, but I'm not sure.

Calidae Dark said...

Alexis, please. This is getting tiresome.

Noelle said...

*motions for Fabi to come up to the waterfall from a hidden outcropping on the side*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Saph Adra pushed me over the edge anything group wise its always HER choice. Nobody even listened to me you all went Adra this Adra that never maybe someone had an opinion? Heavens no.

Calidae Dark said...

* into earpiece * okay, saph, do you have backup?

Chione Asahina said...

*rolls a rock to cali's feet*

*into earpiece* chuck a few and see if she comes out... oh! Shout"Adra we know you're there" too.

Calidae Dark said...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Climbs up to Adra]

[Raises eyebrow]

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

To Fabi: Okay, offense. Good.

*makes mime to Hunter that asks if we should go after people or just ehad for the flag*
