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.

*just follows Saph*
*Is one metre away and throws flag, watching it tumble, flutter and spin through the air as it falls into the volcano*
*to gemma* Thanks *runs up the side of the volcano*
[Makes the box with the flag and amulet fly back towards our side]
#ChaseForBook9
*catches a rock, her arms screaming at her*
*growls* That little shit*
* hauls herself up, breathing heavily*
Ugh
*reaches the top just as the flag hits the lava* YES!
I THREW A ROCK INTO THE DARKNESS AND IT HIT A WILD CALI
*stumbles back and sends fist to her face and foot to her shin*
*tales aim at Fabi, fires*
#ChaseForBook9
*collapses as she reaches the top of the volcano, laughing*
That was easy huh? XD
*Frowns* Okay, I'm not sure whether the flag's in the lava or Fabi has it...
I need to get in there...
#ChaseForBook9
((How can the flag hit the lava if I stopped it with a flying gadget?))
#ChaseForBook9
*slides down the volcano and tackles Trip, pinning him*
OI
I think we won...
Oh thank the good lord
* looks at the blood on her back from the giant rock before * I d'no, gemma. Couldve been easier. But it was FUN!
Trip, if it's in the volcano, we've won.
*flips Adra over, jumps on her, knees first*
#ChaseForBook9
(It seems to be before your comment)
Fabi, she commented first. :-/ she threw it in before your "box" got to it.
Neither am I.
[Falls to the left and rolls]
#ChaseForBook9
*Shrugs* Shall we call it a tie?
*glares at him* Cheater*
Ez: *jumps into volcano after flag* *levitates just before I hit the lava, watching flag sink in* Shiy. *levitates out, using the excuse of possivle death-by-lava for the power use*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh. Looks like we won Adra. *offers her a hand* Good game.
#ChaseForBook9
Saph threw it before your comment so its IN te lava and i really am bored with this now so hopefully it ends
My box flew at it while it was in the air, after she threw it, I thought...
I don't know, though...
#ChaseForBook9
*takes his hand and drags him into the weird muddy ground*
*pushes herself up, laughing*
Oh, looks not. *punches her in the face while helping her up*
#ChaseForBook9
We won? Wow
R E M A T C H!!!!!
I joke
[Shrugs]
Okay then!
#ChaseForBook9
Star: So what?
*is falling behind, which ISN'T MY FAULT* *damns lack of wifi*
#ChaseForBookNine
*Laughs at the confusion* Maybe a tie is best XD Unless anyone disagrees?
Dear god adra please no
Oh. Sorry.
Yeah, rematch. No magical items this time.
#ChaseForBook9
Woah we won...*finally just collapses to side* Owww
*Backhands him, stomping on his knee*
Really wanna go down this road, darling?

I'm fine with a tie
*skids down to the volcano and hugs adra*
Sorry for hurting you ;)
*cracks shoulder and bites her lip*
No hard feelings?

#ChaseForBook9

*Crouches down next to Alexis* Stitch?

Hunter: We essentially won in spirit, if you lo-
Ez: *puts hand over his mouth and glares*
Hunter: *gives 'What?' look*
Star: I've missed them being able to interrupt. :) The internet is disadvantagous.
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Gemma* Of course- no hard feelings.
*grabs Trip's foot and spins it,slamming her arm into his knee at the wrong angle with enough force to break it*
Please! I've had much more time that you!
O.o Trip you just kicked your gf off a volcano *stares blankly at him*
It was fun either way, so I don't really care about the outcome on paper.
[Shrugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Get her out of the smoke- it isn't good. CO2 emissions
* agrees with Fabi * here here!
We're at the bottom lol
I think
I thought we were
Whatevs
Adra and Trip; Where's the popcorn? :P
*looks dazed* Cant....breath...too...much....running...one...day
Star: If we're playing again . . . I'm not. It's padt midnight and I can't keep up.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Agrees with Fabi and Cali* That was AWESOME! But I don't think I want to do it again XD
Argh! *leg is broken* Maybe. Still. *double punchus one high one low, ignoring the screaming pain from his leg*
#ChaseForBook9
Lets save it for another day, Star :3
Fair nuff' star.
*shrugs and watches Tadra fight*
Wbvd, weird Internet problems...
#ChaseForBook9
Ow.
*begins giggling* I guess I have an unfair advantage
*frowns* We're going to have to work on Alexis' stamina.
#ChaseForBook9
Star: Dammit, that sounded grumpy. :( Sorry.
Fun game. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*uses momentum to headbutt Adra in the chest, knocking her over. Jumps on her like before*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh right. *takes a sip of water, breathing heavily herself* She might have asthma like me?
* sighs * why are we fighting?
*breathing heavily*
HOW DO YOU-
OOF!
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
* his the back if his good leg, knocking him over backwards*
She may have breathed in too much smoke
I dunno, Cali- for the Craic?
Adra; Or me?
Cali; We're not. We're watching Adrip fight and searching for some popcorn :P
Star: Yay to everyone's comments, I guess. :)
Hunter: We're going to go now, okay? We do have lives.
Ez: Which might ve surprising in his case.
Hunter: Shut the fuck up. *leaves*
Star: *is still here* *will probably leave soon*
#ChaseForBookNine
I seeeeeee..
oh! ive got popcorn kernals! *goes up to the top of the volcano and they pop instantly* yum, popcorns on me!
Arg. Well. At this point I would use magic, as my legs are out of commission. So... *energy lifts Trip up* You win Adra. Well done.
Gg guys, that was really fun. I need to go now, get this leg looked at. Bye! *crushes a crystal and is gone*
#ChaseForBook9
WOO!
DAMN RIGHT BOY'
*frowns* I could have just set it-
Okay.
*waves*
Star: Yeah, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry, it's just I'm tired, and it would be good to leave now whilst I'm not in the middle of anything . . .
Love you all. *hugs*
*leaves*
#ChaseForBookNine

*coughs* ugh...not cool..never ran...that...far
Bye Trip and Star! (Sorry, distant)
Night Star! *hugs*
*lies on the ground, closing her eyes* That was fun
Bye trip, hunter, em, star
You were great though, Alexis. But maybe you should start going for runs or something, just in case you have to run for your life or something and run out of energy.
Im distant now, just so you all know...
*lays next to Adra clutching her shoulder*
You did some serious damage women...think you broke my collarbone. ..
I have a bit of he to do but I'm still here :3
*Pulls out inhaler and gives it to Alexis* even if you're not asthmatic, this will help.
Cali; Yum! *scoops up a handful of popcorn*
Ah. Sorry about that... You broke one of my ribs. That or a fracture
Maybe i need to...*sits up* I will...i just never ran that far and fast..
Sorry xD
*rolls her eyes, painfully sitting up* *draws a portal in the ground and it worms, and she drops like a stone through it, being thrown into her medical bay*
*groans*
I think I'll disappear now. Lots of stuff to do :(
*stares at where the portal opened*
Lucky bitch...
*sits up and slowly walks back up the volcano*
*jumps down from volcaono using air to stop self* (wbd registering for online test for JEOPARDY
Bye Saph.
I'll be leaving now too, thanks everyone for playing CTF, it was awesome :)
* dissapears *
Bye cali!!!!
I just realised what wbd means.... will be distant, right?
Bye Saph, Cali!
*hobbles to her feet, getting out med supplies*
*calls through the portal*
GEMMA GET IN HERE
*steps through and gracefully lands next to Adras bed*
*waves*
*points to another medical bay bed*
*helps her up and grabs her supplies, handing her a bottle of foul liquid*
This will hurt when you drink it. A lot. But after about twenty minutes it will die down- it is just the initial movement of the bone moving back into place.
*uses the teleporting bracelet to go to Adra* Hi..*coughs again* Smoke...?
*grabs an oxygen tank, fitting a smaller mask over Alexis, helping her sit* That should work wonders
*nods and sits and after a few moments is breathing pretty normal*
*shadow walks to Alexis just holding watching*
*drinks about half of her own bottle, shaking her head, side burning* Whoa... *works on stitching up her cuts*
She'll be okay right?
Yep.
*dabs alcohol on her burns*
Okay good *sighs in relief*
*walks over to Gemma* Helloooo?
*shrugs, going to a walk through cleaner that takes about five minutes to wash and dry her clothes and bonds, standing in her attire the whole time*
*steps out, ruffling her hair*
*goes to her computer, wincing with her ribs*
[Has taped sparkly pink fairy wings onto the flying box]
[Makes it fly around]
((It feeds off thoughts. Technically anyone who has touched it can make it do things, though you would have no reason to suspect this.))
[Giggles]
#ChaseForBook9
How long will Alexis be hooked to le tank? *for once actually looks conerned for Alexis*
All night.
*smiles at Fabi and her box*

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9

Ah... I have something that can overnight get rid of those, of you want?

#ChaseForBook9
There were about fifty after parties last time. Almost finished with homework- I'll be fully here in about twenty minutes

(in LSODM, i mean)
We did have fun...slightly hurt some of us all the same had fun
Tell him Snow! He added Momma in because well she kinda annoyed him enough to...yeah.

IRGDISJZKW
...also, why are you guys wearing clothes now?
That sounded stupid.
Why do you guys have profile pictures that are clothes... No... You know what, I can't talk or word sentences right now.
*begins to cook up some Quinoa and rolling together lots and lots of bags of food*
*hums*
WHERE IS EVERYBODY
*looks out across the rooftops from the skyscraper in NYC* Well well well...I seem to have found my...match. *uses teleporting bracelet and appears in London watching a hysterical scene hidden*
Girl: Mother go you know...you...
Mother: I will stay with you.
*smiles focusing on the mother watching her writh and scream until she begs for death, smiling places knife in her hand and watches as she kills herself* Child go before I kill you. Speak of this and you shall be next. *uses bracelet to teleport out*
Child: *goes to the English Sanctuary reporting to them the murder*
*is back in Blogland safely*
Oh
HI ADRA!
Why are you guys not wearing your Requiem clothes?
But still...
WHY CLOTHES BE IN PICTURE
THERE
I SAID IT SEMI-COMPREHENSIBLY
*goes down to where Zafira is seeing Alexis* Hello darling *kisses Alexis' head*
((We had a capture the flag game!!))
*rolls up a ton of food, bringing out a cart and making a portal, landing in a small village in the Amazon, speaking in clipped words to them as the villagers rush forward, helping unload the cart*
*greets a few, hugging*
*goes back to retrieve innuzations and books and supplies and medical kits and lots and lots of water, including a rather large box*
*goes back through*
*stares* Javier! *hugs tightly* I missed you
I missed you too, Zaf *kisses cheek* shhh.
I only miss the good things...
By the way, I ded to MAHU from all those pages ago.
Javier what are you doing?
*goes through and the people unload the cart again and she takes off the big box, watching as the children rush at it, ripping the paper away*
*it is a water filter that takes almost any large amounts if water and purifies it*
*goes back to the lab and brings a few more back to the people*
*they thank her and she brings some things for the children before going back to the kitchen*
*does the same kind of rounds five more times, before closing the door*
*breathes out, smiling* Six, six groups of people. It's a start
Nothing really...just kissing you and I had to go home to make sure nobody stupidly tried to get in the house..*laughs* check on the cat too...he hissed at me.
He usually does....I need to go to work tomorrow can you mind the kids? I need to make sure things are ok and all
Of course.I'll take Alexis and Olivia to the park and maybe get Olivia to walk even a step...maybe seeing some kids her age will help. Maybe.
Sorry I poofed, trying to multitask, but it didn't really work.
I'll try not to vanish again...
#ChaseForBook9
Well we have Rose and Em's boys so Olivia can find friends easily
