I should have announced this yesterday, to be honest, but I was in Swindon, in England, doing writerly things like chatting to 600 people, signing all their books, and then travelling on to the WH Smith head office and signing 500 copies of LSODM, so you'll forgive me if I was a tad... distracted.
But, without further ado, to those who have not yet heard, the title of the short story collection out next summer is...
Armageddon-Outta-Here.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
I swear to god, I never thought Harper Collins would agree to this. My first instinct was to call it Tales of the Dead Men, but that wouldn't have been accurate because there'd probably only be one or two stories featuring the Dead Men — not enough to warrant a title.
Harper came back with The World of Skulduggery Pleasant, which is, let's face it, a title far too boring to exist.
I suggested Armageddon-Outta-Here as a joke, expecting everyone to dismiss it. But the more I thought about it, the more I said it in my head, the more I loved it. And suddenly I became determined to be the writer who has a book with THAT title.
Amusingly, Harper Collins agreed. And I couldn't be happier.
And if that wasn't awesome enough, we should actually have a cover reveal early next month for you to gawp at. Could I BE any nicer to you?
No. The answer is no.

@Chloe: Yeah. :) It's a cool song, even if that type of music is not my favourite. :)
. . .
I can say that in French. O_O
Fours Anni! :(
@Lantern: Okay. :/

I've just completed one.
Fun . . .

#ChaseForBook9
Hi guys
Hey has anyone seen the new minisode for the 50th anniversary?
It's my birthday today. ^^
Im here i have Carol of the Bells in my head
Merry merry merry Christmas merry merry merry Christmas
We sing that in chorus
MANY HAPPY RETURNS, DRAGONA!
*sounds the trumpets*
*rings the bells*
*Gavin starts screaming*
Dragona Pine! Dragona Pine! Dragona Pine!
*Dragona hears Jerusalem bells a-ringing*
*and Roman calvary choirs a-singing*
And now for the best part! Cake . . .
*presents multi-tiered chocolate cake with a twist of pineapple on the side*
. . . and presents!
*presents Dragona with a warm pair of red mittens*
Yay thanks Annika!
I actually had a Mass Effect cake :P
Oh, that's awesome!
I myself am a World of Warcraft fan.
HEY GUYSSS
And Sparky, I DID! IT IT WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME :D
Okay, so I was just feeling really unhappy (irrationally. I have irrational bursts of emotion sometimes. Okay, a lot of the times. And over the past few days I've been delving into irrationally unhappy moods. It's okay, though, because I know I'll be irrationally happy soon enough.), and I was just sitting here trying not to cry and failing, AND MY INTERNET WASN'T WORKING AND IT WAS SO DAMN HORRIBLE and then I was like whoaaaaaaaaa you should not be relying on your internet this much. :P
Because like, when it wasn't there when I needed it, I suddenly realised how dependant I was.
Not smart. :P
. . . Yeah.
I'm fine now though. I think. *pokes* Almost every day is a day of me being highly emotional in some way or other, though, soooo . . .
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH INTERNET JUST CUT OUT AGAIN.
*feels like crying again*
Dammit.
This dependency is not good, Star!
*starts laughing* oh.
See? I told you my brain was retarded. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Yay, Dragona! :)
Hi, Jubi! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*puts on sequinned tuxedo jacket*
*stands on stage behind old-fashioned 50's microphone*
Happy Birthday my old friend!
It seems this horror show will never end
Any moment's your last breath
Here's to another day closer to death!
So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise your glass to ONE MORE YEAR!
Whoo!
Don't worry, Star. We'll always be here. Plus, you got to read a ridiculously fun story about Oscar Neurotic, so the day can't be ALL bad.
Plus, it's DRAGONA'S BIRTHDAY!
Hey Star! There's a new part of my ME story up if you have time to read it.
Annika, never played it - it's not my sort of thing, I don't think. Skyrim was alright, but that's as close as I get to anything fantasy-y.
Normally I'm not a sci-fi fan either, but Mass Effect is brilliant.
I got the new Assassin's Creed for my birthday. It's REALLY good, really random too... but Mass Effect still beats it :P
HIYA STAR! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRAGONA!! *supermegabirthdaytacklehugsofdoom*
Thanks Jubi!
Yay you're all so nice :P
We love you, Dragona!
*pops out of a cake*
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Blogland.
Ah, congratulations, Dragona.
*wipes cake off her clothes*
Maybe that wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had.
HAI SIR!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
Greetings, Ms. Glee, Barnosky, Inkbright, and possibly Kerias.
CAAAAAKKE!!! *runs over to eat it* YUMMYYY!!
*remembers that Annika was just inside of it*
*hugs Anni* :) :) :) Yeah, that was one of the best before-school times. XD
*hugs*
@Dragona: It's my friend's birthday tomorrow . . . and Chase's birthday tomorrow. :)
Hi Sir!
#ChaseForBookNine
What a waste of good cake *Sighs*
*licks a piece of frosting*
I know that I don't know you that well Dragona, but I just want to wish you a Happy Birthday and I hope that you have had a great day.
Jubi, I-
was just . . . in . . . that . . .
*gives up*
*looks down at her cake-splattered clothes*
Oscar would have an aneurism if he saw this. I'd better clean up.
*sighs* msd
Ah, greetings, Ms. Melody. I do hope that you yourself are enjoying a great day?
HIYA EM! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
Not particularly since it's Chase's birthday tomorrow.
Yes . . . yes I heard about that.
. . . I'm sorry.
Oh... right... *hugs Em again*
... Ah. I extend my sympathies.
Sorry I kind of poofed. Was having birthday cake.
Thanks to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday. :)
You don't all have to feel sorry.
It's not your problem to deal with.
#ChaseforBookNine
Well... we're sorry that you have to deal with it...
And I'M sorry if that sounded really insensitive...
because that was NOT my intention.
Well, the mood came down significantly.
Indeed. Still, these are things we must confront, eventually.
"You're nobody till somebody loves you."
That was a line in a song on the radio today, and also the title of it.
I was practically crying whilst I was listening to it, for a proper reason - that is such a HORRIBLE message to give out.
I know it wasn't meant like that, but . . . imagine if you just feel everyone hates you, and you don't think anyone loves you - I do not think being told you're nobody is helping AT ALL.
Imagine a sad loner person with no friends.
Imagine that sad loner person thinking that nobody loves them so therefore they're nobody and they aren't a proper person.
Imagine the entire world having their idols tell them that friendless people are nobodies, so they think it's the thing to do to go TELL the sad loner person that.
That's just horrible.
I don't mind telling you, I'm crying buckets, and none of it is irrational.
People are still people whether anyone loves them or not. They're unique and special and they add so much to the world. I was trying to find a birthday present for my friend, and I saw something saying "You make the world more special just by being in it."
And I was thinking how it was more something I would give to one of my blogfriends, because that's the kind of things we say to each other, and I was reminded in particular of Fabi saying things like this (uh, no offense anyone else.) And I was just thinking that that's beautiful. :)
People who have no friends can be amazing. They can be some of the best damn people in the entire world. They can make the world more special just by being in it. And they are NOT - FUCKING - NOBODY.
That is just such a HORRIBLE thing to say, and it's such a HORRIBLE message.
I KNOW the song didn't mean it like that, but it just STUNG.
. . .
I was just so angry and upset.
Still am.
"You're nobody till somebody loves you."
Wrong.
You're amazing. You're brilliant. You're not a shining Star, you're a shining star. You a star, me a Star. Geddit? :P
You can be anything you want to be.
If nobody loves you, that might not be anything to do with you. Sometimes, it takes you a while to find the right people.
If nobody loves you, the world have died and there are no bodies left to love or be loved, because everyone is loved, even if not on this layer/plane of reality.
. . . And God always loves you, but not everyone believes that.
So yes.
"You're nobody till somebody loves you."
Load of bullshit.
Create imaginary friends to love you, if you have no real ones. :)
And who says who's real and who isn't, anyway?
"You're nobody till somebody loves you."
Even if that is true, which it ISN'T ISN'T ISN'T ISN'T ISN'T, then don't worry, because somebody does love you. I love you. *hugs* :) And if I never meet you or even know who you are, that is a tragedy, because you are amazing. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
It's true....
THANK YOU. :) :) :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Absolutely, Ms. Inkbright.
I was friendless for most of my life, and even now I have very few, so . . . I suppose I agree with you, Star.
*nods at everyone saying I'm correct like one of those nodding dolls that have wobbly heads and when you shake them their heads nodwobble everywhere*
@Adra: Thank you. :)
I was really sad too. :/ That's why I wrote it.
I can just imagine this teenager just hearing that song and just dying inside and just thinking "That's true" and shit I'm crying again. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Wow Star... O.O
That's awesome!
...
I know awesome isn't really the right word but I couldn't think of anything else so JUST BEAR WITH ME!
I saw a lovely picture the other day that said:
"Being an introvert is rather like being Robert Downey Jr. in your head and Castiel in real life."
And that is how I feel, I suppose.
Of course, I think I'm rather fantastic, but most people don't think so. Maybe because I'm a very conservative homeschooled Christian. Maybe because I use big words when I talk. I don't know.
Online I'm much more talkative and open because I have the freedom to write, instead of speaking out loud and face-to-face. Normally I am far more reserved and private than I have been here, in Blogland.
I don't know why.
That's just my lot in life, I suppose, and I must be content with it.
NOT AWESOME THAT YOU'RE CRYING!!!
AWESOME FOR THE REALLY LONG THING YOU SAID BEFORE!
*Tacklehugs Star*
@Annika: You have me!!!!!!
I was friendless for a portion of my life. I actually LIKED being friendless. I walked around the playground making up stories in my head and had an imaginary friend called Lily and when people tried to be nice and make friends with me I just got grumpy at them. :P
. . . Fun times. :)
Once I had friends, though, I realised how awesome they were. :) *hugs my awesome online friends*
*and my awesome irl friends*
*and the people I was friends with at the time after the time*
*but I'm online, sooo . . .*
@Annika: Thank you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Jubi* Thank you. :)
ARGHHH YOU'RE JUST SO JUBI-LIKE I CHEERS ME UP. LOOKIE, STAR BE SMILING! *points to irl face that you can't actually see*
@Annika: People are a lot easier with saying things online, I think . . . I used to be way more open here, but then the openness sort of travelled. O_O
And - *hugs* I think you're rather fantastic too. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I was friendless from 1st through the beginning of 3rd grade...
But I'd just read a bunch instead of hang out with people... So I was a happy lonely child :3
I have chosen not to be certain of anything at all.
#ChaseForBook9
Sadly, I have little to say upon this topic, besides assurances that you all have the right to be whomever you wish to be, and are all quite wonderful people.
I learned to write, and that was how I adjusted. Now if I ever feel upset or lonely or depressed I can just go and write, and it is a bit like going out for frozen yogurt or bowling or zombie-slaying with your fictional buddies.
Some people might think that's a little sad, but I don't, because I love my writing. It's my foremost pursuit.
:D *Hugs back*
Aretha Tesla, did you just quote Cecil?
ARI!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAI!!!
Because if you just quoted Cecil I will love you forever.
From Welcome to Nightvale?
No, from Lawrence of Arabia.
Yes, from Welcome to Nightvale, the greatest podcast ever to grace the ears of America.
Greetings, Ms. Tesla.
xD
WELL IN MY DEFENSE... IT COULD HAVE BEEN FROM SOMETHING ELSE!
....
NEW PICTURE WHOOOO!!! :D
I like to think that I didn't quote Cecil. I like to think that Cecil read my mind without knowing he was reading my mind and found my whole complex life philosophy and summarized it perfectly in one sentence on his show. I like to think that after he did that, I heard it, and every time I repeat it I'm actually quoting myself, even though now that he's said it no one will know that I'm actually quoting myself.
#ChaseForBook9
There is only one Cecil.
There are no other Cecils.
None.
At all.
Unless they're in the dog park.
. . .
. . . My friends believe that I am in love with Cecil.
I also believe that I am in love with Cecil.
Your logic is impeccable, Ari.
xP
This is the lock screen of my phone.
#ChaseForBook9
Actually, I lied.
I might be here after all, but I can't promise I'll really say much.
Well.
Actually-
Hmm..
I mean
Dammit nevermind
That's beautiful xP
... Quite, Ms. Dark.
Whenever I get into an e-mail fight with my friend Joy, she usually ends up sending me a picture of Cecil fanart so I'll get distracted and forget what I was mad at her for.
Oh..! Um-
Ok..?
Um...
HAI ADRA...?
*supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
As many of you likely know, I am an enthusiastic lover of fanart. This is my favorite Nightvale fanart:
---->
Nightvale Before Christmas
Sorry I poofed . . .
Think I'm poofing again now.
I love you all.
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
Also, hi to all the lovely people who said hi to me.
I'm probably not here, since I have two papers, a lab report, two presentations (one of which is on a topic I barely understand), and numerous other sheets, assignments and tasks to complete, and a story I know nothing about that's just dying to come out. I just had to say something here, if only once.
#ChaseForBook9
(Anybody want to help me with the roleplay since Trip bailed?? I can go back a bit and continue from a certain spot if needs be.)
That is actually....
Really brilliant...
The Fanart, I mean ^
Isn't it, Jubilance?
I'm sorry, Emerald, I wish I could, but I'm going to have to run out the door in a bit so I don't want to get involved in anything major right now.
I'm just going to take a moment to say that a very important thing was recently posted on Superfluous, so anyone who hasn't seen it should go check it out.
Also, I gotta go.
Goodbye Anni
Sorry Em... :(
I'm not very good at RPing
BAI ANNIKA! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
***SupermegaGOODBYEtacklehugsofdoom*
What's with the silence?
AM I ALL ALONE? D:
No, it just gets like this
Yeah...
Well...
HIYA ADRA! :)
Two out of nine . . .
I'm doing really well here. XD
Idk when I'll get this art done, actually . . . Miss has my book, so I'm a bit stuck. :/ She's had it for about three weeks. -_- It needs marking. She tells us to leave them behind if they need marking. Yeah.
And my weekend is already looking suspiciously full.
Hmm.
*plots*
In less than ten minutes, I'm leaving, so I don't think I'm really here. Don't bother saying hi or bye. I might just ignore people. As in, all the people (imagine all the people . . . hey, when I was little, there was this joke:
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Imogen.
Imogen who?
Imogen all the people.
. . . and I never understood it, because I was like five. :P
One day, like last year . . . I thought back to it, and I understood it.
Don't you love those moments? The moments when you suddenly remember something that puzzled you for years, and you get it?
You know, I used to think full stops were fal starps or summats. It took me years until I went "OH YEAH! /Full stop!/ Like, you stop fully! OH MY GOSH, THAT'S SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! *massive hyper freak-out happy moment*"
. . . And yes. :)
It's like when I watched Bugs Life again. And I keep saying this, but it was so odd. I'd been obsessed with it when I was little, so every scene and every word, as I was watching it, I remembered it. However, I now understood what the words meant. Like Flick's name. When I watched it when I was fourteen, I was like "OH MY GOSH!!! Flick!!! Like when you FLICK something!" and Dot's name "OH MY GOSH! Dot! Like, a small dot thing! A DOT!!! THAT word!!! And it's because she's SMALL, like she's a DOT!!!! :O"
And it was so odd, because previously, when watching it, I hadn't REALISED this. Flick and Dot were two new words entirely. :P
And it was like that with the whole plot. I understood why people did things. Like, before I'd just kind of watched them wander around the screen going to different places saying stuff, thinking that they were just doing it . . . just because. Because that is what happened, and that is what they did, and they said this just because they said it, and they were here and they were there. You know when teachers tell you the difference between describing and explaining? I could do the describe equivilant - I new what they were doing. I couldn't do the explain - I didn't know why, or how things were linked, or what they meant.
AND NOW I HAVE TO GO.
Yeah. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Star
Hi Jubi
GAH STAR THAT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIMEEEE!!
and BYEEEE!! *Supermegagodbyetacklehugsofdoom*
HOW GOES IT ADRA?
Sorry I disappeared- I was updating my phone.
And okay- you?
I'm pretty good, I guess... I have homework that I should be doing but I CANNN'TTT
Well I'm TRYING to...
But BLOGLAND AND YOUTUBE AND THE INTERNET ARE BECKONING ME TO COME FORTH AND...yeah
Have you tried turning your internet off? Or listening to music?
Well I need internet to do my homework...
and music is distracting -_-
Ok
I guess I should just go so I can do this...
uughhh
ok
BYEEE ADRAAAA!
I SHALL BE BAACCKK
*waves* Bye Jubi
*quietly walks around her lab in a pair of shorts, working on physical therapy for her leg*
*i guess I'll just out that there*
Hi I'm back after sending a really long email...
Hi.
Seems to me that when I die, these words will be written on my stone...
/:
Where the fuck is everyone tonight??
No clue Em, haha.
*hugs*
Busy like me In extrememly busy
Writing a four paragraph essay
I mean now I hve some time
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHANE AND THE OTHER GUY WERE TRAPPED IN THIS MEN'S TOILET PLACE AND TEHRE WAS THIS METAL GRILLE KEEPING ALL TEH ZOMBIES BACK AND THEY WERE ALL PUSHING AND MAKING NOISES AND I THOUGHT THE GRILLE MIGHT BREAK FROM THE PRESSURE BUT THEN THE CAMERA TURNS TO SHOW THE SCREW THAT SHANE HAD RAMMED IN THE HOLE TO KEEP THE GRILLE IN PLACE AND IT WAS SHAKING AND RATTLING AND YOU KNEW THAT SOONER OR LATER IT WAS GONNA COME OUT AND YOU WERE JUST LIKE SHIT BECAUSE SHANE AND THE OTHER GUY WERE TOTALLY TRAPPED AND THERE WAS NO WAY OUT AND SO MANY WALKERS AND THEN THE EPISODE /ENDED/ AND I'M JUST LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Yes.
Sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
I can't stand Shane
@Adra: *is only on Series Two, Episode Two*
And, I think I'm spelling his name wrong, coz you can spell Shane various ways.
And . . . I think he's kind of a good guy. *nods* Well, he's good and bad, like we all are. :)
. . . Then again, I think well of most people. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*Season Two
#ChaseForBookNine
He looks mean to me
And I hardly made it into season two.
or maybe-
I don't remember.
I just hated him. He was a bit of a creep, to be honest. Or, I dunno. he just was mean.
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten...
#ChaseForBook9
THE WALKING DEAD IS AMAZING.
For most of season one, you're kind of under the impression that Shane left his friend to die and then told his wife he was dead so he could get with her.
. . .
So I could see why you might hate him.
Although he actually really thought Rick was dead.
But I think he has many admirable qualities . . . he really impressed me this episode.
And life is like that. You get stuck to just thinking people suck, and then every now and then they just be awesome and you get really surprised, and it just reminds you that all people are good and bad, and even the people you just don't like; they have likeable things about them. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Lantern! :)
I'm going to sleep soon, btw . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
*his friend's wife
Not his own wife.
And that's just . . . pretty damn bad. :P
But I like Shane.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Fabi!
*nods* I see...
I actually don't remember most of their names.
Except Daryl
I love Daryl
@Adra: My dad just thinks Daryl is amazing. XD Everything he does, he's laughing with the impressed-ness of it. :P
Like how he went into this tent to look for Sofia (the little girl who's lost in a woods filled with walkers), and there was this dead rotting body there, and everyone outside was going "Are you okay? Is she in there?" and he was sneaking up to the corpse and taking their gun. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi... [Nods]
#ChaseForBook9
I know right???
Where you are, are they still looking for Sofia?
((Btw, you won't spoil anything, I know the outcome))
Msd!
Because I kind of need to go to sleep now, but I'm just staying here, and I need to have a decisive hit-the-off-button moment, and if I say I'm going I'll get distracted after that and yeah . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay Star :) *hugs if you leave*
The Mythbusters did a zombie special... The volunteer zombies did the Thrill the World dance.
[Was going to participate with the local zombie-walk, but went to Val's party instead]
#ChaseForBook9
@Lantern: Hi!!! :)
. . . I already said that.
. . . Whatever. XD
@Adra: Uh. Idk. They say they're gonna go back tomorrow, but Carl's been shot and Rick's there and whatshernameican'tspellit (like, at all. I can't even pronounce it conifdentally), his wife, and Shane and the other guy have gone off to get medical stuff to save Carl, and Sam and that other guy idkhisname're gonna go find Rick and find out what the hell's going on and heal the idknameguy's arm and the others are gonna stay behind and wait for Sofia, possibly go out and look, I think.
*nods*
Sorry.
I'm ranting, now.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Lantern: Oh.
Well, I'm glad you went to Val's party because I thin that was awesome, but a zombie-walk thing sounds really really cool. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*think
Innit odd how the word 'think' is so similar to both the words 'thick' and 'thin'?
#ChaseForBookNine
I saw that, Fabi!
Adam and Jamie
Man
love them
Also- OH. When Carl gets shot, it was so scary!
I GOT COMMENT 3366.
IF YOU ADD THE THREES UP, THAT'S 666. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: We were all like "Something's gonna go wrong, something's gonna go wrong" and then he just got shot and we were like what. O_O
And then it fucking ENDED.
And my dad was like "Well, that's the most *insert word like 'sudden' or something* end to a program I've ever seen."
And I've seen endings as good as that in books so I used this to go MWAHAHAHAHA BOOKS ARE BETTER THAN TV. :)
And my dad thought someone shot the deer and the bullet went through it, and I thought that someone shot Carl because they thought he was a walker, because he was walking up to that deer really slowly and shufflingly (because he was trying to creep up on it, you know), and my dad was right and I was like -_-. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Omg Star xD
Man
When they have to operate. *sobs*
I wasn't crying, but that was probably because I was sitting with my parents and so holding my emotions at a distance . . . often I find emotional things in the car with my mum and I kind of just don't react and then I come here and rant about it and sob my eyes out, but actually, I don't find fictional sadness that sad, which is really discriminative but . . . :P
I would have found it sadder if it were a book.
You know, one day, I will just sit down and write out scenes from The Walking Dead because there is so much good-book potential and it's annoying how it's limited to a TV screen, imo. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
It was...
I think I'm going now. Bye...
#ChaseForBook9
... Er, I think it's also a graphic novel.
@Lantern: Okay.
. . .
Dammit.
Now I have to leave Adra here on her own.
SORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY IN ADVANCE. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Fabi! *hugs*
*waves Star off* It's cool, yo. Don't worry.
@Adra: I KNOW.
AND A GAME.
BUT I LIKE BOOKS TO BE /BOOKS/. :P
. . . Because, just because, I'm me and it's just how it FEELS. That doesn't mean books are better, it means I like books better.
A lot better.
#ChaseForBookNine
. . . .
IT IS VERY COOL. IT'S WAYYYYYYY TOO COOL. IT IS SO COLD. WHY IS IT WINTER?
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't know! It's cold here as well.
And I feel ya- books are pretty cheddar.
WINTER IS AWESOME.
I was going to say it was evil, them I fekt guilry.
BOOKS ARE LIKE BUBBLES - AWESOME. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I-
They're beautiful and then explode in your face and you cry because of the hurting soap?
In its entirety, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar uses the mistakes and thrives of characters to highlight the flaws of the characters, as well as their good traits. Shakespeare might have wanted to emphasize to his audience that every person is imperfect, and has flaws. That being said, any person could make the same mistakes as the characters, and be seduced by power; and just as well, they could twist it to make it something beautiful.
^^ How does that sound? I have no idea. AHHH
OH hell I totally forgot to edit the first two lines
Hang on
In its entirety, The Tragedy of Julius Caesar uses the mistakes and thrives of his characters to highlight their faults, and the effects that they have. Shakespeare might have wanted to emphasize to his audience that every person is imperfect, and has flaws. That being said, any person could make the same choices as a character, and either let themselves be seduced by power, or use it to make something wonderful.
There.
Kinda
Night Star *huggles*
Lydia: Dylan I'm shipping you and Erin (me)
Dylan: Okay cool where to?
Just....omg
Er..
Wow
(This isn't the roleplay from last night but it kinda ties into it. I think.)
*Chase sighed as he watched her delicately turning the page of her book. His wife. His one and only. He had no other option or way of telling her but he had to. He walked in and sat down beside her, resting his head on her shoulder. She smiled*
Em: Hi there.
Chase: Hi sweetheart, got a minute to talk?
*Em put down the book and smiled as she put her arms around him tightly and gently kissed his head of hair*
Em: Anything for you sweets.
Chase: *takes a deep breath* Have you noticed that I haven't really been my bubbly self for... a while now?
*Em nods, beginning to suspect that something more is going through her husband's mind. Chase continues.*
Chase: Well... *sighs* My light is fading baby and well, I can't stay up here away from the Citadel anymore. I can't be with you anymore.
Em: Wait, what? You mean... you're leaving again? When will you be back?
Chase: I won't be. I have to go because if my light goes while I'm up here, I won't find my peace.
Em: But what about me? And the kids? You can't just leave...
*Chase sees how upset Em is becoming and he sits up and holds her tight to his chest as he can feel his shirt becoming wet with her newly arising tears. She grabs onto his arms tightly as she can't control the tears*
Em: Please don't leave me again.
Chase: I don't want to baby, believe me, I don't. But I don't have a choice. And you're doing so well without me already. You're so strong and I know there has been a few bumps in the road but you, my little dear, are kickass.
Em: What do you mean 'without you already?'
*Chase kisses her and holds her tight one last time before whispering in her ear*
Chase: Wake up Shell...
*Emerald wakes up with a jump on the same couch but alone. The house is dark and seems, empty. And in front of her on the mantlepiece is a picture of Chase with a black wreath hanging on it. That was when she realised that he had left her already.
She sat in the dark room and cried. Not wanting to go on, but didn't know how to get off the couch to face reality.
She needed to be with him. However the method, that was all she could think of right then and there.
That she had to be with him.*
hello. not rolepalying. trying to write something because i said i'd have a post on backstories and i dont. wbd msd
I'm here somewhat....I'm not doing much
hey zaf. writing fast. fun :D. fun fun fun.
what is a teachers name? a really common name? Smith? no... i have a teacher call Mrs. Smith... that would just be creepy... Joans?
That seems good
No idea... Still doing homework
hey adra.
how're you both?
Dying inside. Homework.
You?
writing. trying to get up that post on backstories i promised.
I've been strong for too long. Enough is enough.
Having to hold it in all the time. Getting ignored when I want to be emotional and let it all out. Being told to get on with it, that crying won't bring him back.
I don't care. I need him here, I want him here. We fought for too long, trying to be near one another just for him to be ripped away. So I've decided tonight that I will be with him, whether people want me to or not.
I love you all and you've been so good to me. I hope life treats you well.
Goodbye x
em... *hugs*

I dedicate this page to em. because she needs it.
there, now bye
Emerald Melody,
darling-
I don't mean to ignore you. Honestly. I'm sorry I did, and I don't know if you are seeing this- but I still love you, alright? I do.
Gods, I'm so sorry I ignored you. I'm having a rough time as well, and I don't like talking to people right now, and- anyone else being emotional.. I just can't handle, because it would be too much for me.
Just don't go.
((Er.... Fuck
Holy. Fuck.
Where do we go now?
What do we do now?

It stopped updating a little more than five to eight minutes ago...
I hope she just fell asleep.
