Mystery Project One

A few weeks ago, I outlined my writing schedule for the next year or so. Included in this outline were Mystery Project numbers two, three and four. I never mentioned Mystery Project One, because that had already been completed. Today, I am finally allowed to talk about it...

This year is the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who. To celebrate, Puffin Books asked eleven different authors to take a Doctor and write a story. When I was asked, I said I'd only do it if I could write for the tenth or eleventh incarnation. Puffin gave me Ten. I was a happy bunny.

It was such a joy to write this character. As you all know, I've been a fan of the show since I was a kid, and David Tennant holds joint top-spot with Matt Smith as my favourite Doctor. In my opinion, it was Tennant's era when the Doctor's love of dialogue really came out— that quick-fire patter that he does so well — and it was an absolute pleasure to channel that.

The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage will be released as an e-book on October 23rd (my birthday! Skulduggery's deathday!) and then it, along with the other stories, will be collected into a PHYSICAL book which will be out near the end of November.

There will be a video released in a week or two where I talk more about it, but in the meantime, here's a link to a snippet (which explains where the somewhat old-fashioned title comes from...)

*hugs Star back* Thanks.
I feel like my whole respiratory system has kind of... contracted.
But, idk, I'm still alive, and there's such good BOOK news coming about, now. So I still feel happier, anyway. I think that kind of fits above whatever this thing is, so it's mostly good. :)

I agree with LOTR-awesomeness. I haven't seen the new trailer, but I don't often see trailers, so... *trails off*

I'LL KEEP YOU MY DIRTY LITTLE SECRETTTTTTTT


Sorry, AAR are ace:3

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Dragona

Luciana said...

Hey Draggie~

Mary Contrary said...

Backish.
WBD because trying to understand maths. I missed a damn lesson and my past couple of maths lessons were basically working off of that lesson, and beyond; as is my homework. So I've been trying to get my head around it and will be working on that until I stop.
Also, I sometimes wish breathing was not such an important process.
Also, HEY DRAGONA! :)

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

I'm good, thanks Dragona. Except for an inability-to-breathe-messedupedness-thing, and the maths. But grand, on the whole. :)
And yourself?

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

I'm fine, thanks. And the inability-to-breathe-messedupedness-thing sounds horrible.

But maths is still worse xD

I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: I don't really have any suggestions on how to help with the breathing thing . . . :(

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

Omgg wth? *laughs* My maths teacher is insane. I'll say no more than that, but- xD

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

There's this song that goes:

TELL THE PEOPLE!
We don't need to multiply!
We don't need to multiply!
We don't need to multiply!
We don't need to multiply!

. . . and when I was playlisting it, this person had commented saying something like

Tell the teachers! we don't need to do the math. we don't need to do the math. we don't need to do the math. we don't need to do the mathhhh.





It was funny. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

I liked my last years maths teacher. :) He let us sit where we wanted, which sucks when you have no one to sit with, but is awesome when you do, and I did, plus he had very interesting views on the world, imo. Plus, he hung mine and my friend's crown things we made out of the loops on the speakers. :)

Sorry my internet went weird.

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

We did speed ball....only one on my team to actually get us a goal.....then our teacher switched 2 players i had help but the two of us got the goals....and im horrid in anything athletic

Mary Contrary said...

@Dragona: Good to hear. :)
The breathing thing... I think it's not as bad as it was when it started. Which was maybe an hour-ish ago. But my time-keeping skills are not good. But it seems to be going, so, yeah.

LOL, yup. :P
I like maths when I can do it, but when I don't understand how something works I get confused and then dislike maths. :P
It's kind of like physics.
But I have good teachers in both maths and physics, which makes the disliking part endurable. :)

*hugs Star* Don't worry about it. I'm sure it'll leave, soon enough. Thanks, though. :)

@Star: LOL. xD
And, yay! He sounds pretty nice, then. :)
Mine has put us in a seating plan this year, but he tried to make it a nice-ish one where you're with ONE person who you seem get on with, if he reckons it won't cause any problems.
And he tends to make a lot of deals, so if we want to get out of the seating plan, he'll turn it into some kind of game or something. Sometimes they're results-related, and sometimes it's just something like - "Okay, fine. I'll roll a dice. If it lands on a number above four, you can sit where you want. If it lands on two or below, I rearrange the seating plan, and make it WORSE. If it comes out three or four, I get to keep you all in for detention at lunchtime. *beams*"
:P

One time, some girls were annoying him, so came out with:
"Okay. New game. When I see one of you talking, I give you an choice: Option A- Detention. Option B- Select another person in the room to stay for lunch instead."
He went ahead with that one, too...
(He's probably nicer than I make him sound though. :P )

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

Oh, and to anyone doing their GCSEs: WHEN IT COMES TO THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRONS IN EACH SHELL IN CHEMISTRY IT'S ALL LIES. LIES I SAY.

Luciana said...

UGH GCSES NO


I like AS c:
Got an A in an English lit assessment already;3
... it was creative writing, though...

Mary Contrary said...

*hugs Zaf lightly* Aw. :(

My P.E. wasn't too bad today.
And somehow a friend has persuaded me to join the gym with her.
I can't join the gym. I'm ME. I can't even PLANK for 45 seconds. :P

@Dragona: Oh? How so?
(*glares at chemistry*)

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

Luciana, AS IS awesome. I wanted to do a course which was just purely creative writing but there were none. But so far AS Geology, Chemistry, Spanish and Medieval History (DON'T ASK ABOUT MY CHOICES THEY'RE RANDOM OK) are great.

Mary Contrary said...

Good to know that AS is nicer than GCSE, then, at least so far. :)
*eyes the future with caution*

Lol, Dragona. Random is good. And great is even better, so, yay! :~)

And, Luci, HOORAY! :)
Ha, well, OF COURSE you're going to do awesome in creative writing. You rule at writing. But HOORAY! nonetheless. :3

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

Taia, well to put it simply you're told that the shells go like 2,8,8 etc for the amount of electrons they hold. But that's only because you have to know up to... Calcium, I think it is, on the periodic table. In AS level Chemistry you get told that it's ALL LIES and then get told that the shells hold more electrons.

Dragona Pine said...

The only possible career option I have is a random guy who uses Chemistry (most likely acids) to find out about rocks from medieval Spain.

That would be an awesome job, but somewhat boring. I want to dig up a dinosaur or something.

Maybe not. Maybe an author of some description. I JUST NEED A HUGE IDEA.

Mary Contrary said...

Um. WTF happened to my smiley face? xD

:~)

It has, like, an odd little nose or something. BAH. Everybody knows that faces don't have NOSES on them. How silly would that be?

*:)

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

Taia, your smiley had an unfortunate accident with a hammer. His nose was broken in like four places.

Dragona Pine said...

*does a backflip randomly*

Mary Contrary said...

@Dragona: Aw. It's more complex, then, basically?
I don't think I'll be taking chemistry at A-level anyway. For fear of ending up with the same chemistry teacher (pretty high likelihood of that), if nothing else.

LOL. Sounds like a good career. xP
Dinosaurs should be fun, too.

But, you're awesome at writing, so I expect that'd work out well. :)


#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

*grins, suddenly*
Your huge idea could totally be a story about a random guy who uses chemistry/acids to find out about rocks from medieval Spain.

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

Plot twist: Random chemistry guy accidentally digs up a dinosaur.

*nods*

:P

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

Poor smiley. :P ^^

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I am present

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Dammit. -_- We just learnt that.

I'd already worked out that they tell us things that are slightly untrue all the way through our school life, though, to make it easier.

My and my friend like Chemistry. :)

Oh, lol. We have a joke about the halides, and it's probably not all that funny but we find it hilarious, mostly because of memories and reactions and the way we say things. XD
To sum up our joke in a nutshell, as we were walking out of Chemistry the other day, my friend was telling me that in the test, when it mentioned Hali dying, we had to also remember how her bro died, and how Chlo and Flo had also died, and how I died. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

Wow, this book writes itself. Thanks Taia :P


I once had a pretty good idea about like every force in the universe having a mind and a body and every like 100,000 years they'd come to Earth and fight for like control. And on one side there was Fire and Metal and Gravity and Mass and Death and Air and Darkness. On the other there was Water and Earth and Time and Life and Light.
And then they'd have a huge fight. If the fire one won, they'd well... burn stuff. If Water won, they'd keep everything the same.

I should keep writing that. One moment.

Star Inkbright said...

*taps Dragona* Wait, I think I already know what you've on about. Maybe not.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: It sounds like it could be interesting. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

The bad thing was I started writing it once and was like, "wait... this book is only 10 chapters long" when I reached the end so I deleted it all xD

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Sorry I poofed...

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

We're moving on to biology or physics soon, though. :( That's bad because a) we like chemistry and b) in chemistry we didn't have a seating plan . . . :/

I'm looking forward to bilogy, though, because the biology teacher we'll have's fantastic. :) He was my teacher last year.

Our school does it so we have four weeks of biology/chemistry/physics, then four weeks of a different one, then four weeks of a different one, and yeah. :)

Uh. Rambling. *tries to stop*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Aww. :(

My stories always start off intending to be long, and then I get bored and never finish them. XD

I think three chapters is the furthest I've got? :P

Hey, Mara! *hugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

Howdy, Adra! :)
Your presence is appreciated. :)

Ha, Star, awesome. xD
A name-joke appeared in our chemistry lessons, too, but it's not that interesting. :P

Hey, no problem, Dragona. :P
That sounds like a great idea. ^^
Shame about the too-short-ness, though. :P
Good luck with it, anyway. :)

Hey, Mara! *huggles* :)

Dragona Pine said...

I want to create my own world. Can't do magic because I doubt there's any other way that magic can work that hasn't already been done. So that leaves Sci-Fi, but then I want to do something that hasn't already been done as well.

I might start planning a new world and see where it ends up.

Noelle said...

Haidere, Taias :3

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Here, they take it like that up until year ten, and then switch to treating them a little more as three separate subjects.
We have one lesson in each week which still switches between Bio/Chem/Phys every few weeks, though, to keep the numbers of lessons even.

BRB. (may take a while)
#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs* Hey Star, Taia.

So scared for tomorrow.... I definitely got a D in my science, and my teacher already hates me...

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: I have a few worlds (well, kind of two), but they're not stunningly original . . . :/

I need to invent a story world for my story I want to write. :) I'm thinking of a magic one that's not really that original at all, because the big thing isn't the story world, the big thing is the plot twist that I want to have, but obviously the plot twist can't survive without a story around it . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

Star, I want to make a world that isn't TOO far in the future. Because go too far and well everything will just be weird. But I want to go further than we are now but have some good tech, so I need to think of something that could accelerate humanity's progression in technology. But not accelerate the time too much.

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: I'm in year ten. :P

We have different teachers for biology, chemistry and physics though . . .
The top three sets taking triple science get the apparently best teachers (and I'm with them on their judgement of best, seeing as one is my last year's teacher and our chemistry teacher is good). It'd be a bit mean of me to the others to YAY that, wouldn't it . . . ? Never mind. :)

@Mara: :( It's okay. The important thing isn't where you are. The important thing is how you improve. And, if your teacher hates you, just hang in there until you get a better one. It isn't your fault. :)
You know, when I'm scared of people things, like when I get told off (I know this makes me sound a bit pathetic, but it's scary and embarrassing for me :P), I've taken to trying to adopt a Morgan attitude . . . it won't work exactly like that for you as you don't know Morgan, but just try not to care, think 'what do people matter anyway?", think "I don't care what any of them think", and it might help a little. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Mara: *hugs* If you prove to them and work hard to balance the grade out you should be fine

Ugh
School dramas

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: See, you're trying to base it off our world. I always find that hard, because I often get scared of doing things wrong - it's why I dislike writing with other people, with other people's characters (gosh, I hate that), and part of why I dislike writing fanfic. I get that that's a personal thing, but I think making a world that isn't this one gives you much more freedom, because you can flow where you like and don't have to stick to structure. Plus, you've less confined ideas-wise.

Having said that, Hunter's world is this one in the future . . . XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

Star, oh don't worry. There'll be other planets, cultures and aliens and stuff. It probably won't be even set on Earth. Earth will have burnt by then :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Yay. XD
It's going so well for us, isn't it? :P

@Adra: Oh. :P Never mind. SAYING HELLO JUST WHEN PEOPLE ARRIVE IS TOO MAINSTREAM.

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

Star, well I'm probably guessing as soon as we meet an alien species (if there are any) some time in the future, the first thing we'll do is start a war with them. Because humans are like that.

Then we'll either get the crap beaten out of us, or both sides will realise that they can't win against the other and it'll end up being an uneasy alliance.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Or we'll beat the aliens, or we'll both just completely destroy each other. Or, there's a slight chance that we'll peacefully coexist right from the start, but that seems by far the least likely to me, given human history. Like you said, humans are like that. They fight.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Sorry I poofed for a second- I'm back

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yay! Adra!!! *tacklehugs* I am so happy to see you!!

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Humans so are like that. XD

The other day, I came down to eat my dinner, and there was this old film on the TV about aliens, and I was like what are we watching, and my mum was like we're not really watching it, we're just waiting for the bake-off to come on, and I looked at it occasionally, and I thought - everyone goes on about aliens invading earth, but I bet we'll be the ones to invade other planets and experiment on them. -_-

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Ari! Hey Em! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Em!!! *tacklehugs* Yes! Awesome people!!!!!

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hi Star!!

#ChaseForBook9

Mary Contrary said...

Back.

@Star: I know. I think I was just noting that difference, is all. But awesome, on the best teachers. I think they try to do that here, too.
WARNING. RANT-ZONE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ENTER OR READ ON. I JUST STARTED TYPING AND THE WORDS TUMBLED OUT. LIKE THE ANIMATION ON THE GAMECUBE STARTING-UP SCREEN, AS THE LOGO-ICON TUMBLES OUT AND IT'S REALLY SWEET, EXCEPT A LOT LESS INTERESTING, AND MORE BLAND THAN SWEET. SO, YEAH. IT'S JUST RANT-Y WORDS. AND BLAH.
Theoretically, they've managed well, but I still don't think my chemistry teacher is particularly great, whether she's the best here or not. I know people in a number of different classes and year groups who have struggles with chemistry for that, too. I know a fair few parents who put in complaints.
I mean, I respect that she DOES teach, and she chooses to do that, and I'm grateful for it, but... Y'know. She's the head of our science department, and, great for her, but it's difficult to see why sometimes.
I think she's also been here a while, so maybe she kind of... deteriorated, with age, if there's a polite way of putting that. :P
I don't mean she's a terrible teacher, and am sure she means well, but I do mean that I don't think that she teaches very effectively, if that's fair to say.
Sorry. Um- *sticks a warning at the top*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

:( Fours, Dragona!

I think also teachers often just care less as they get older, to . . . I agree, teachers can get better or worse as they get older. Usually worse, imo. Younger teachers often seem to be better, is all.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Jesus I keep poofing. Sorry- this is tedious. I'll try to be more present

Mary Contrary said...

@Mara: I read something earlier, and a quote from it just came into my mind, on reading the science-related comment. While used in a different context, it was said that, directly quoted, because I just went to find the thing again for its sake: "How ANYONE else feels about the way you look should ALWAYS come second to how you feel about yourself."
And I think my meaning is that, even if you feel that your teacher dislikes you, and that you've done badly in your test, that doesn't have to hold you back in any way. You can do as well as you believe you can, and quite possibly even better.
I'd say, work hard if you can, to get that grade up, and then you can: A- Show that teacher that you're even BETTER, and B- Do better there, for yourself. :)
But, additionally, hey, it's not the end of the world if your science reslut isn't the best science result out there - Your Maraness is still the best Maraness out there. :)

Apologies for the mini-diatribe. I did stop myself from rambling a couple of times, though. :P

Hi guys.....*still dying* another hour....

Star Inkbright said...

The physics teacher Triple had last year was also really rubbish, according to my friend. I mean, she explained why he was rubbish, and he does sound pretty rubbish. So things aren't always accurate. And maybe they base it on qualifications, not actual teaching. Qualifications aren't 100% reliable with these things. What these things should be judged on is things that aren't very measurable, so people probably go for the qualifications. Probably shouldn't start ranting about immeasurable magic, done it before and I can't be bothered to get all emotional.

@Star: I guess older teachers can have more experience, if they've been teaching and ageing simultaneously.
And, *nods* qualifications, or better when appointed the position. Or something else, but yeah.

I could do better, let me out

*in head* No! Go away you don't deserve control!

Niccolò likes me better! Admit it you're unloved!

*in mind* Justaria shut up

No! I'm free to bother you all I want!

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Bye Hiccup! *hugs*
Mara; Lol :P
Zaf; Poor you. I know the feeling :L

Luciana said...

MSD!

Not that I'm here completely... :P

Noelle said...

*tries to swing*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm hungry... :L

Didn't eat anything today. Idk why.

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

*sighs* I have Justaria bothering me ever since Javier died....*hits head on tree* *growls* I had 6 meetings with people today And a Supreme Council meeting....

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Eat, Mara!
I just came back from an underwater hockey trip and the coaches go; 'Eat! Eat more! Keep eating! You have to eat enough! Have thirds! Fourths! Fifths!'
I'm pretty sure I gained at least a kilo XD

Noelle said...

Mara, chow down on some protein- it fills you up faster than anything else

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Zaf; I had to have a Sanctuary meeting too :/

Maralie Lily Charm said...

No food downstairs :P
I'm an extremely fussy eater...
Hahaha, I remember going swimming and my mother force fed me food and I got a cramp and almost drowned and have been terrified of water ever since... :P

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Dammit I should have had a Tayto sandwich or noodles -.-

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

You sound like Gatsby...

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Mara; :( I love water. But I can understand how terrifying that would be. I have asthma, and in the last underwater hockey game I had an attack underwater, with people on top of me preventing me from getting to the surface, and I freaked :L

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

Tis not fun....I swear....*is actually writing up something* I want to figure out who the hell is behind this....I got up to find a nice report of a few murders in a small town and of course the person went for mortals. Typical. Can't just leave mortals alone! I lived long enough to know they go about life and if we let them be they do well

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Adra; Which one of us are you talking to?

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

LET ME OUT ALREADY

*glares at ground my hand shaking*

Noelle said...

Marsies, ofc. *noms on a cupcake*

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

((Anything in italics unless I'm physically yelling is Justaria you guys can't hear her but if you can read minds then you can))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Wraps arms around Zaffy* Come and sit down. Someone else can handle the disasters *guides her to a seat*

*Is writing a blog post about how the boys tried to glad wrap our van*

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

Hey woah! *is guided to a seaf* what did I do? I have to finish that....

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I'm a Sensitive, remember? And even if I wasn't, I know you well enough to recognise when you're upset. Take a break, Grand Mage.

Noelle said...

*sits there, peering down at them curiously but doesn't move*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hey Adra! Are you the one spamming me on Facebook?

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

I can't Saph. I can't. I have too much to do and a war going on. I can't take a break I know I just lost Javier....and I've experienced being trapped in a Soul Catcher and more but I can't just take a break.

Oh let me do it! Stand back I'm the one who can!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Saph - D: *hugs* That must have been horrible :( and yeah, I can barely have a bath without freaking out or crying, so :P but eh.

*hugs Adra*

Omfg

The majority of Bloglandians have probably not had a Tayto sandwich before

:o

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

...yes. Can I friend you? (Idk some bloglandians don't want their family to know)

*waves*

*hops down, walking regally, her cloak still trailing behind her, going towards Zaf and Saph*

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

((Brb time to eat irl))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Mara; What's a Tayto sandwich? And it wasn't too bad. I got cheered up by watching two teams egging each other, pouring glitter in bags, and of course gladwrapping each others vans :D

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Adra; Well, my family completely freaked out when I met Cali, so I'm sorry but it's probably not a great idea :( I can give you my phone number instead if you want.

Noelle said...

...we're in different countries.

I don't have international :3

Anyway. *noms on a salad, sitting on a bench*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Saph - HUSWO H CDUQO HUC PWDHDC WUOQD C
A TAYTO SANDWICH IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING IN IRISH CULTURE
It is a sandwich
With Taytos in it
*bows*
And that's good :D *hugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Mara; *Tilts head* I hate to ask, but what's a Tayto?

Noelle said...

Right... *takes a sip of her drink of lemonade* *pulls her hood down, her discoloured skin just a shadow now*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Ah well *shrugs* :)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Taytos are like the only crisps they sell in Ireland D:

Jk but seriously every crisp in Ireland is called Tayto. Even if we bought, like... Idk. Walkers crisps. We'd say "I got some taytos". It's just Ireland for you XD

Ah gtg nighttttt xx

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Night! *hugs her*

*sighs, enjoying the calmness*

Jophiel said...

WarZone will kill is all...

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Jophiel said...

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

Someone complimented me on my fashion sense today. O.O

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hello-

*gathers up her salad and stuffs and sits with her tablet by a tree*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Fabi! *tackleglomps* Well, I can't say anything because I don't know your style :P Someone said they liked our school uniforms the other day and I was so shocked, I couldn't speak...
*Hands Death a banana*

^ If anyone wants to see this RP that's making me die of laughter, that's it. I'm Ellissa.... *Fangirls slightly* Day one and Andy said he loves her!! :D

@Fabi, 0.0

Jophiel said...

BANANA!! *Springs at the banana in Saph'd hand and tackles it to the ground* BANANA!! *Eats banana quickly and looks up at Saph with a crazed expression* BUNANA!!

Noelle said...

Hi Fabi-

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

((Back slightly dying but im here))

Jophiel said...

Also, no one feel obliged to look at it, I don't care either way!! ^.^

Jophiel said...

((Why is Zaffy dying...?))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I'm back!! *sneakyelderassassinhugs everyone* *attempts to think of something interesting to do* *not-so-discreetly mentions to Fabi that we sort of just finished the last major plot thing, so she can do whatever it is she wanted to do now*))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Well.

*checks her watch*

*packs up her food and shuts her laptop* I wonder..

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Death; I looked at it :3 ANDISSA! And zaffy's dying because Justaria is annoying her.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Ari! *hugs* Bye Adra?

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

Hello Saphy! [gives a purple carrot]

I was wearing a neutral hunter-green t-shirt and black sweat pants. My scarf was cool-ish, though... Idk. I'm pretty sure it wasn't sarcasm, but I'm really not good with that sort of thing...

Hello Deathy! I can't look right now, but I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Hello Adra-

Hi Zaf!

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

(Awkward.... Love you Saphy... But no ships... Awkward... Now I have four ships with three people and they're all... *Frowns* I don't know anymore...))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((*realizes I only roleplay as one character (two if you count Niccolo, though I just consider him a person now) and considers adding more* *considers how difficult that would be, given the fact that the way this blog is designed, it's difficult to comment as more than one character at a time, and I'd rather not be TOO MANY CHARACTERS forever* *wonders if I should stop randomly narrating everything I'm thinking* *is too tired and bored to make myself stop*))

#ChaseForBook9

Jophiel said...

(Actually... I'm in this really weird mood... I think I may leave... Bye...))

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

Hello Ari. Okay...

#ChaseForBook9

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

((Bye Deathy... [hugs]

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Ok, then, Death. *hugs*))

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Fabi; Sounds nice enough :) *Looks up at purple carrot and eyes light up*
Death; *Laughs* 'Kay. Love you too :)

Noelle said...

Bye-

((Apparently we have to wear green in memory of a girl who passed at a sister school of ours... This is the second person this since the beginning of September :/))

*continues to stand in the shadows*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Bye Death! *hugs*
Your choice, Ari :)

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

((ARETHA TESLA!' *tackles* I call dibs on Niccolò today *smirks* I got a bit of a weird request he pribably will belive me insane))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*hugs Adra* That sucks :L
*Looks at page in mild surprise* Really? *Disappears to ded*

Noelle said...

Ded! *is there ominously*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I don't think you can call dibs on a person... And you say that like I own him or something... Oh dear, do I even want to know? :p))

#ChaseForBook9

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