But the most powerful poison of all is the poison of love.
Glah... gtg. Bye!
bye saphy *huggles*
Hm.........
I appear to not feel like talking. I'll be back.
[vanishes]
#ChaseForBook9
bye fab.
i all alone now... aw
Look who's digging their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death
Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?
Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this
Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
Standing on the cliff face
Highest foe you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
You put up your defenses when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
You're putting up your armor when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave

right...
[hugs Snow]
Valuable.
#ChaseForBook9
Just...
[Doesn't really know how to put it]
#ChaseForBook9
okay...?
Friends... valuable...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs*
[hugs back]
Family... Valuable...
#ChaseForBook9
you are valuable.
We waved goodbye and I said "see you soon" but I didn't
How fast a lifetime can pass, but it feels just like minutes
A step is a leap and a second is twenty-two years
Dreams are just wishes and nightmares are filled with your fears
Ideas dancing and spinning inside of my head
Elder and younger both thinking of lives that they've led
Amber eyes widened and crying with silvery pearls
How many dreams does it take to imagine a world?
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs*
HELLO.
DUCK
HELLO
DOCTOR WHO
HELLO
(no, i did not just say hi the doctor... he did not just TARDIS into my house... pfft, no...)
[hugs back]
DUCK [throws an origami beaver at him]
#ChaseForBook9
GASP! ORIGAMI BEAVER! I can add it too my origami collection.
Things I have in my origami collection:
1. Beaver
2. Paper
3. Ball
He must have being at your place, Snow. You seem to be smoking his sonic screwdriver.
no, just holding it with my hands full
ah, i mean... nope, thats a toy... ah ha ha
g2g stop my couch from eating my farther. bye. *disappears*
Certainly a worthy cause. Bye...
Msd.
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm.... Yes, right.
Couches these days do like to snack a lot...
Gtg, sorry, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
Well that's obviously it's mouth.
Or, you know.... the other end...
BYE FABI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(+1000 exclamation marks)
*singing*
I'M ALL ALONE
THERE'S NO ONE HERE BESIDE ME
MY TROUBLES ARE ALL GONE
BUT THERE'S NO ONE HERE BESIDE ME!
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE FRIENDS!!!
(DONKEY! Stop singing!!!)
Hey, Saph.
I'm totally asleep....
Definitely not composing emails to pretty much everyone.... Nope...
#ChaseForBook9
Alex *hugs* so you remembered!
I was thinking. Do you want to roleplay the two of us? Nothing complicated, just a nice, simple fight. Us. To pass the night.
Fabi! *hugs* Yep. You definitely should be asleep.
*Goes to check my email*
Hi, Fabi!
Saph, I don't particularly want this night to pass, to be honest. But I would like to roleplay.
Fabi, you want to join in?
Can't get into my email... sorry Fabi :(
Okay, Alex :)
Hiiiiiii Saph and Alex!
Yeah, especially since I have to wake up in, like, six hours for ballet...
My throat, though. It feels like someone thought it was a purple carrot and tried to peel it.
So I can't sleep.
Sure, though I may drift on and off...
#ChaseForBook9
It's okay, I didn't send you anything too important yet.
#ChaseForBook9
*Likes that phrase* *Saves it mentally*
Well, I hope you get to sleep soon.
I'll be distant, Skyping my brother.
And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky, and the wind, and the wind I know it's cold...
Rain generally helps me sleep, so...
Yeah, I'll be distant as well...
#ChaseForBook9
Poor Fabigail :( *hugs* *hands her an actual purple carrot*
Okay, Alex.
I don't think I've ever started a roleplay before *shrugs* I'll give it a try.
*Saph slips through the shadows of the night to a tall, narrow house*
*She glides up the steps and bangs on Alex's door*
*He opens it, looking sleepy* What?
Saph; Get dressed. I found a monster to fight. *Glances at her watch* And be quick about it. We're picking up Fabi on the way.
I love rain. And wind, when it rocks the house and I can hear a terrible storm outside, but I feel safe and secure. I like that feeling of being in the eye of the storm.
[hugs Saphy]
#ChaseForBook9
I love rain. Just as well, I suppose, seeing as I'm going to live in England.
*Rubs eyes sleepily and drags some clothes on over his pyjamas, flicking through the weapons cupboard and filling his belt with blades and whips*
*Steps out the front door, doing up his jacket* Here *throws spare dagger at Saph* Because I know you'll lose your weapons during the fight.
[Is sitting in ParaFabi's old base, drinking coffee]
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Fabi bsck*
*Tries to scowl at Alex as she slips the dagger into a sheath on her waist, but has to smile instead*
Come on, idiot *grabs his hand and races through the streets, enjoying the wind on her face and the power in her feet* *Takes a sharp right, heading towards Fabi's street.
I love when the rain pounds down really really hard and the wind makes it dance around, and all the same people are inside, but I'm out there with my hood down, letting my hair get all wet and frizzy. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* Stares at picture and name* What?... Oh, right, I can't comment while I'm trying to get into my email.
Fabi; I love it when it's raining so hard that everyone trying to get home has their raincoat on, rushing from doorway to doorway and shrieking, while I walk straight down the street with my head tilted up and my tongue out to catch the raindrops.
That sounds so much like you, Saph :P
(RP)
*Grabs her hand and stops* Wait. She might not even be at home. Do you have Fabi's number?
Fixed it! I think.
----------------------
What? Oh, yeah. *Digs through her bag and pulls out her phone* Unless she's changed it recently. *Dials for Fabi and presses the phone to her ear, ignoring the first few drops of rain*
I hope you're asleep Fabi :) 'Night.
*Leaves a message on her voicemail*
*looks at Alex* Well, it looks like it's just me and you.
Just the way I like it.
*This time, Alex leads, taking them out of town, through flat fields and across three roads, darting behind cover at slowing to a halt on the top of a cliff as sea spray batters them*
*Lifts up one hand to shield her eyes from the stinging pellets of salt water, yelling over the wind*
What is it with us and cliffs?
*Turns 180 degrees, scanning the landscape and yelling back*
Dramatic effect, mostly. But also, cliffs are- *Sees a shape moving through the spray and dives at Saph, knocking her to one side as a huge, ugly tentacle creature materializes out of the fog*
*Whispers into her ear* Cliffs are where sea monsters are born.
*Draws her daggers, stepping out from behind Alex and swallowing hard. Her eyes remain fixed on the monstrosity before her while her other senses scan her surroundings*.
Thanks for the warning.
*Steps to one side, winding whip around his wrist* No problem.
*Starts edging to the right, keeping one eye on the cliff edge and one eye on the monster at all times*
Flank it?
666!
OH YEAH. Comment 666.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sweeeeet
Hello, Star! *waves* Want to join us in killing this sea monster?
Saph; Sure. *Starts moving slowly to the left* Watch that limb *Nods towards it* It's holding something.
Why isn't it attacking yet?
Star!!! *tackleglomps* I feel like I haven't seen you in ages :3 How are you? 666... YOU ARE THE DEVIL.
Hi, Eathan, nice to meet you.
------------------
*Gets behind it and examines with a fighter's eye*
Look at it. Its fascinated by everything. It looks newly born- small, for a sea monster. Only about eighteen feet. But soon, that wonder will wear off and it will attack.
Target those *Uses dagger to point at bottom two legs* It's balancing on just two legs. Take them out, and it won't be able to move.
*Uses the air currents to slowly rise*
*Sighs* Oh joy, I'm on distraction duty again...
*Speak in his mind* Right in one, dear Alex.
*hovers above and behind creature, angling my limbs to rocket down and get it in the neck* *Signals to Alex*
Three.
Two.
One.
*Jumps up* Oi! Yeah, you ugly! Look over here! Yeah! Look at me when I'm talking to you! *Charges and is swarmed by tentacles*
*Watches Alex hacking and dodging out of the corner of her eye as she tucks her arms in and plunges, falling down and down, faster and faster with her hair yanked straight out behind her, her eyes watering but she manages to pinpoint her target and slams right into the creature's neck, dagger-first*
*Feels a shudder of pain vibrate up the whole creature* *it spasms and tilts its gigantic head back, trying to throw Saph off*
Saph!
*Is hit in the chest by a tentacle and slams backwards into the ground so hard he can't breathe*
*her eyes are closed tight as she hangs on, dragging one dagger around into the front of the neck* *With a grunt of effort, slams the other one around and grips as hard as she can* The creatures bellows and flops onto its back, trying to dislodge her*
Sorry, was catching up with the comments . . .
But Alex, rain in England is COLD, and everything is so grey and gloomy and wet and miserable. :)
Not to put you off or anything.
I think I'll just watch you roleplaying, but I'm enjoying reading it. :) Continue.
#ChaseForBookNine
(Might have to disappear now for an hour)
I do have to go... Sorry! *hugs Star and Alex* Bye. I'll see you soon.
I used to live there Star :P
In that case, Saph, I don't think I can procrastinate my packing anymore. See you in an hour!
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part
I'll play right along
Like I don't know what's going on
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on
Hello :3
Hellooooooo.
Sorry, I went out, and then got totally absorbed in my brother trying to beat the ghost data on the time trials on Mario Kart on the Wii . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Baaah!
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAF OUR NEXT DOOR
NEIGHBOURS HAVE A ZAFIRA CAR!!!! :O
#ChaseForBookNine
YOU KNOW! THE ONES NEXT DOOR! TO OUR HOUSE! WHO HAVE THEIR CAR RIGHT NEXT TO OUR! WE LIVE IN A SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE SO THEJY'RE ONLY SEPERATE BY A WALL AND THE DRIVE IS SEPARATED BY A FEW PEBBLES! THEIR CAR IS RIGHT THERE! AND IT'S A ZAFIRA!
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Star!
I'm going to be distant a lot today... Since my da and stepmom are still here, they'll most likely be dragging me around places and whatnot, so... I'll only have ample time to work on my essays in my classes and such, so I will most likely be distant from the blog.
If at all.
@Adra: Okay. :/ *hugs*
Hellooo.
Zaf is a car on the other half of our semi-detached driveway. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
PEOPLE!
Hey Zaiya! No, not people. One person and me. :) Well, two people if you include you, I suppose.
#ChaseForBookNine
Threeee
I AM NOT A PERSONNNNNNNNNNNNN.
Well, I could be considered one. It depends on your perspective. Most things we know to be true depend on our point of view, to paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi. I need to watch that movie again so I can accurately quote him, rather than paraphrase . . . because I paraphrase that phrase all the time.
#ChaseForBookNine
Irony in real life:
Rowan Atkinson is one of the smartest men alive but in all his movies/shows he is a stupid idiot.
You are a person!!!
And I don't know who that is..
And I should probably go...
To save batteries :/
I love you all!
Pass it on that Adra loves everyone pleaseeeee
*hugs*
*skips into her lab*
@Adra: Star Wars. :)
@Duck: Meh.
I like the word meh.
#ChaseForBookNine
Well we woke up in shock. I don't think any of us actually believe that Skype call happened but now I'm laughing so hard because of Zavel and Cruf....oh and we sung opera to Derek it was priceless he kept facepalming through the opera then for Do You Hear the People Sing he was laughing hysterically and I asked who was dying in Book 9 and he told me everyone and then he met V's mother and it was funny and Derek has an evil twin but I told him he was the evil twin xD oh my gods it was funny. When he was calling I yelled to everyone he's calling it was funny to see how fast we gathered yonder. And we showed him Sweet Tarts and I told him I used to think Ireland was where England was and it was funny. And then he said that only part ot Ireland was in England rule and I redeemed myself and said that 6 counties were under English rule. Then we saw Mammy cat's tail! Derek was being funny with action figured and throwing paper. We were all high pitched seeing the kitty and he used a skeleton to say it was a cat he said his kitties don't like being picked up...
@Star: Meh to you too. :)
@Zaf: Yaaaaaaaaaay! :) Glad you had a good time. :)
#ChaseForookNine
@Duck: Meh to you five. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Plot twist:
"Louis" is actually pronounced "Lewis".
MY WHOLE LIFE WOULD BE A LIE
*hugs Mara* :)
'Lo.
#ChaseForBookNine
Without a doubt, this is the most uncomfortable chair I've ever had the misfortune of sitting int.
@Anni: :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Greetings, Blogland.
Greetings, Sir.
#ChaseForBookNine
...
Saph said she'd be here an hour ago.
*Texts her*
Greetings, Ms. Star, Ms. Annika, and Mr. Stone.
@Alex: :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello, Sir.
Hey, Star.
*shrugs* She probably just fell asleep. It's 2:39 am.
@Alex: Ah. That could have happened. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
How could you think such a thing of me, Alex? :P *Rubs my eyes*
Greetings, Ms. Iota.
Hey, Saph. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*curtsies* Greetings, Sir :)
Hullo. :)
*waves*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Star! *hugs*
Alex?
Taia! *hugs* :)
Greetings, Ms. DeMars.
I'm back. Sorry, the cat sat on my keyboard and made this really insistent meowing noise when I tried to get him off. I thought he was going to wake the whole house.
Hey, Phire.
Hi, Taia.
Saph, want to continue the rp?
Welcome back, Mr. Stone.
I'd love too :) Anyone else want to join in?
Saph! *hugs back* Hey! :)
G'day, Sir Reingington. :)
Hi, Alex! :)
Aw, *laughs* Cats. :P
I migght be distant.
I realised that I cannot do the thing that my art teacher's telling me to do, and have worked out, finally, WHY this is.
SO I figured I'd do a different thing which includes what the other was lacking which is why I could not do it, meaning that I am now maybe working on two (similarish) pieces at once, if I decide to continue with those now.
Which is not what the art teacher wants but I don't care because I prefer it and it's my work and zetgdjhyukf bvik. :P
*nods slowly*
None of y'all needed to know that, really, but it kind of helped me to clarify the situation. Sorry. But yeah. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, Taia. :)
@Saph: I'm doing homework, so no. :( That's why I'm distant.
Btw, I'm distant. *is distant*
#ChaseForBookNine
Thanks, Sir.
(Someday I'm going to call you Ma'am. Just a little act of revenge.)
Saph, we can continue from where we left off and other people can appear/disappear when they want.
Hey Star! :)
@Saph: I'll pass, because the art and/or homework thing, mostly. Thanks for the offer, though. :)
#ChaseForBook9
I would hardly blame you, Mr. Stone.
*hugs Taia* That's fine. :) It's interesting to find out about these things, in a way. *almost starts expanding about the way but doesn't because I'm meant to be distant and if I do start expanding I'll likely ramble off as well and then I'll just be talking for ages*
Plus, I say irrelevant things all the time. Like, ALL the time.
*nods*
@Alex: Cats are evil, sometimes, but sometimes in a good way. Like, Eve's evil in a good way. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay, you too.
*two
Crap, my internet is breaking up.
Star; how can Eve be a cat and a rock and a man-eating train and a girl and a chicken and a vampire?
Your choice. If you change your minds, just drop in :)
Great, my internet's sucky too.
Alex; She's talented :P
------------
*The monster swings around in circles with Saph still clinging to its neck* *Her head starts to swim and she adjusts her grip, gasping for air*
@Alex: Oh, she's not a cat or a chicken or a vampire. She's just rock and a man-eating train and a girl who likes to eat live chickens and sample blood similarly to a vampire. And she manages it all because she is the Banana Lord and the Banana Lord is a higher entity than us poor little pathetic humans. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Sir, I wouldn't really offend you like that.
(RP)
*Alex is sucking in breaths* *Tries to sit up and is almost sick* *Groans and slowly, painfully lifts his right arm, holding a whip* *Lashes out and captures one of its limbs*
Star; I stand corrected.
Because that's much more normal...
@Star: *laughs* *hugs back* Thanks. :)
Cool - thanks Saph. :)
*peers into cup of water*
Ew.
I don't even know when I last changed the contents of this thing. o0
BUT it does dampen the brightness of the colours, which I like. And which my art teacher keeps complaining about. *facepalms*
Conflict of opinion.
idk. Do I use clear water, or stick with the dark/murky/ew water?
#ChaseForBook9
If you insist, Mr. Stone.
Clear might be better, Taia.
@Alex: NORMAL DOESN'T EXIST FOR PEOPLE.
@Taia: Um . . . well, if you change it, it'll murken up soon anyway, sooo . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*The creature recoils from the whip and Saph yelps, slipping sideways and losing her grip with one hand*
*Scrabbles and blinks the black spots from her eyes* *Uses the air to give her a lift onto its shoulder, yanking out her weapons*
*It turns suddenly, and she can see the whole ugly face as it tries to eat her*
*She skips backwards, straight into a tentacle that wraps around her waist and lifts her into the air*
Mmmkay. Thanks Saph, Star. I'll change it in a bit, I think. :)
Ooh. THe violet ink looks GOOD over that yellow.
But I have no idea what kind of yellow that was. Dammit. I should really label what I put into colours. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Star, but Eve is technically not a person, no?
Saph's been trying to convince me that normal does not exist. But I do believe there are some things most people have/do that classify as normal. For example, breathing is normal.
I just don't think normal matters.
Hdnqiudnsjdieizowndnnmzmsm...
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm. Purple and yellow- complementary colours.
Hi Fabi
Hullo, I have returned . . .
Gah.
My internet keeps breaking :(
Fabigail! *hugs* :)
Taia; I wish I could see it :)
Alex, your intellectual discussion is fascinating, but could you save my life please?
*wearily strolls down the street*
*head down*
*she hasn't slept in days*
Stupid pterodactyl . . .
Hi Alex, Saph, Adra, Anni,
Gah, I thought I was getting better...
#ChaseForBook9
Alex, I'd say breathing is normal for living members of the animal kingdom, yeah. But if somebody managed to live without breathing, then for that person, breathing would be ABnormal, and not breathing would be normal, whereas we'd all see that person as abnormal.
Personally, I think 'normal' is generally a societal thing. I don't think abnormal is a bad thing, and do think its existence is on a group/personal consensus level.
So I think I kind of agree with you, on some level.
Hi Fabi! Hey Annika! Hi Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
I wish I had a hot cup of tea.
*passes a coffee shop*
*looks up*
. . .
*keeps walking*
*sighs*
It's just not the same . . .
*waves*
The horse I was on today, I cantered, and my instructor said it was the best I have ever cantered her. I'm so happy :)
(Hullo, everyone. Taia, Adra, Sir, Sapphire, Fabi, Alex, and anyone else I've neglected to mention.)
Well . . . I see it like - you can't have one normal washing machine, because there is not one average washing machine everyone has. Not in this country, anyway. Or your countries *points at Bloglandians*, presumably. But yeah. However, say you had a certain type of washing machine - this design from this brand. You could have a normal version of that, as millions of that type of washing machines are created and they're all identical. When one deviates from the norm and breaks so it is no longer identical, it is now abnormal, and when you fix it, it becomes more normal as it is more similar to how that washing machine design should be.
However, every human is unique, and every human changes. We are not just something there to fulfil one purpose. We can be anything, do anything, and fulfil multiple purposes - we can CHOSE purposes.
There is no normal in humanity.
People who are more mathematical can be considered to have the same about of normality as people who can't understand numbers. People with blonde hair can be deemed normal, people with brown hair can be deemed normal. Females can be deemed normal, males can be deemed normal.
There is not one specific model of human.
There is no one normal.
#ChaseForBookNine
Saph; Certainly, madam. Would you like tea and coffee with that?
Hello, Annika.
(RP)
*The creature turn its massive head to look at Alex as he tugs on his whip* *He draws it back again, staggering to his feet*
*Flicks and creates a gash along its face*
Yeah! How do you like that? Let my friend go!
*The whip whistles through the air again, but this time the creatures moves its tentacle and Saph is there, in front of its face and he can't stop the whip*
*wiggled her stiff ankle* *winces* Damn
Wb, Anni!
@Adra: YAY! :) *hugs* Well done!
And, of course Eve is a person! She's a person as much as I'm a person!
#ChaseForBookNine
Ah, greetings, Ms. Dark.
Welcome back, Ms. Annika.
Hi Taia, Star
#ChaseForBook9
(You seem to be fighting a vague yet menacing tentacled monster. Would a monster hunter be useful at this time?)
*goes over to help Adra*
You alright?
*gets up, leaning on a crutch* Hey Sir, Star
I broke my ankle... *glares at it* I don't think it healed right.
*looks concerned*
You look like you could use a hot cup of tea. If I had one . . . I wouldn't give it to you, but if I had two, you could help yourself.
@Saph: :) I'd take a picture but it's kinda small, and cameras tend to alter colouration. And it's not really that great. :P
The raiiinnn. There's so much rainnn. :)
wbd
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Adra.
Anni; Join in if you want. It's a sea monster. (Please don't kill it, though.)
Star/ Taia; I agree with both of those long comments, but Star, that's not the kind of normal I meant. I don't really know how to explain it.
You have my sympathies, Ms. Dark.
Doctor, if you are tired, I could fetch some tea.
(I should, at some point this weekend, post the first superfluous adventure on Superfluous Adventures, for anybody who's interested.)
*turns faintly pink*
Do you have tea? I mean, I wouldn't want to take your tea, that would be rude.
*gestures toward Adra*
*sighs* I suppose she's in more need of tea than I.
*stifles a yawn*
Adra! *tackleglomps*
And sorry, it's probably my fault that your ankle didn't heal right. I was the one trying to heal you, after all.
Anni; Sure, join in if you want :)
*hugs Taia*
Alex; -_- That doesn't count as saving me.
No, take your tea darling. I insist
(Well, I'm doing some quiet stuff with Sir and Adra at the moment . . .)
It's alright, Saph... I'll just re-break it
*opens her mouth to say 'No, you take it, I insist.*
*closes it*
Oh . . . kay.
*stuffs her hands in her pocket*
*her empty pockets*
*looks very sad for a moment*
*then the look fades away*
Um... My mind is being weird, and since I literally can't say anything irl, it feels really weird talking here, so I'm going to go.
Goodbye and good luck.
#ChaseForBook9
*Sees the whip snaking towards her and tries to shield her face, but her arms are pinned to her sides*
*The whip smashes into the right side of her face and she cries out in pain* *Tries to open her eyes but her right eye isn't working* *Presses her lips together and tries not to scream as she wriggles her spare dagger free, moving it at an awkward angle* *Gulps some air and stabs the tentacle with all her strength*
*It lets go, almost in surprise, and then she's falling*
Okay, goodbye Fabi *hugs*
Anni; Sure, if you want :)
Adra; *Winces in sympathy* Ouch.
Okay, Fabi... *hugs*
I need your phone number at some point, btw. If you have one.
Brb
*strolls down the street*
*tired*
*and depressed*
Er...
Well, I hardly have tea on my person, currently, but it would be quite easy to retrieve some. May I?
*wearily* If you, like, Sir.
*plays with a tendril of blue energy*
*she looks awful*
*her clothes rumpled*
*hair a mess*
*dark shadows under her eyes*
I could do with a cup of tea, right about now.
Bye Fabi. Hope you feel better soon.
(RP)
Saph! *Drops the whip, draws a sword* *Watches her tumble through the air and hit the ground, hard* *She doesn't move*
*Leaps forward and slashes at the tentacles, ducking and weaving and scrambling to his feet several times when he's knocked over* *Gets to the body swings as hard as he can, trying to avoid being knocked out by tentacles* *Works his way around so that he's standing over Saph, protecting her from further damage*
... Quite. I shall return shortly, please remain here.
*opens a gateway, and quickly shuts it behind him*
*sits on the pavement*
*her phone is buzzing*
*clients are calling her*
*she does not answer*
*goes into a separate room*
*dhuts the door*
*a few seconds later, an ear splitting scream is heard*
*looks up*
*eyes wide*

This has been The Most Important List You Will Ever Memorize.)
"I've got a good left food but withour my right I can't walk."
Best quote ever.
*hugs Anni*
See you in a minute, Sir!
--------------
*Looks upwards dizzily with her one good eye* *The world is swirling, changing colour and shimmering like a gigantic heat haze*
*Mumbles*
So... pretty...
*Winces in pain*
*Everything seems to be going oh-so-slowly, like a slow-motion TV. Sound is funny, distorted and far away*
*She sees her dagger, still stuck in the creature's torn and battered neck*
*Murmurs* Mine... *Raises one hand, but it's only moving slowly, and sees cuff on her wrist with lots of symbols* *The edges of her vision are beginning to go black, and sound is getting quieter, but she summons all her strength and presses the symbol for fire*
*The dagger erupts into flames, her head spins, and she finally blacks out*
*suddenly stumbles out of another gateway, holding a tea cup in one hand, and bashing at a flailing tentacle, with a tea tray, with the other*
*another screech is heard over the gateway's, and the tentacles retreat into the gateway*
*it shuts*
Harrumph! The absolute bally LENGTHS one must go to so that one may find good tea!
*suddenly checks the cup, and sighs as he sees the brew still in there*
*left foot
Dammit
*leaps to her feet*
*pointing, stuttering, at the gateway*
*she drops her hand*
Holy Nathaniel Hawthorne, inter-dimensional shunting must be scary . . .
*still shaky* But, y'know, anything for good tea . . .
Mara; ... I was wondering :P *tackleglomps* How are youuuuu?
*Laughs at Sir* The lengths, indeed.
But I like coffee :P
It isn't so bad, you only find extra-dimensional horrors once in a while.
Tea?
*moans, falling off of the table and onto the floor, crying out again*
((Hi Mara!))
*gladly takes the tea*
Thank you, Sir, that's very generous.
*sips it*
*her pale cheeks flush with color again*
Ahhhhh . . . that's what I needed.
*smiles pleasantly*
Thank you.
(Fine, I'll take the dedication . . .)

(Or tea. Tea as well.)
It was no problem at all, let me assure you.
