She's about, ooh, seventeen, now.

You win.

Ravel: knew it it's hard for you to stay solid...

Not true

Noelle said...

Well then, perhaps you ought to check in more often... Seventeen is a, ah, influential age

Noelle said...

*she pulls her coat tighter*

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

Ah, she's got Sellacious with her. They'll be fine.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Of course

*glances at the door*

Is it locked?

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

No idea. *tries to open the door. It's locked*
It's locked. *unlocks the door, lets Adra in*

*curtsies* Thank you good sir *she walks in, taking a seat*

What would you like?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((Okay!))

Er... Red wine, please

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

What vine, year? Any preference?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

....Red. And it tastes good. I'm not sure- just pick one

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

*laughs* You guys sure aren't picky!

*disappears down stairs*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*she carefully takes her coat off, setting it on the seat beside her*

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

((Of course, now that I'm here, I don't have anything to say... :-/))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*calls after him* Alcohol is alcohol!
*laughs, rubbing her hands together*

Noelle said...

((:O Oh... Well... I wouldn't know? :/))

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

*comes back up, holding two bottles*
A bottle of ethanol would beg to differ! *hands her a bottle of wine and a red wine glass. Puts down tumblesoz bottle and shot glass.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*pours herself a bit* *drinks it quietly* *nods* Good! Lovely darling, as always

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

Glad you like it. I'm just gonna pop upstairs, and make the call, I hope you don't mind...?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Of course *leans over and loses his cheek* I'll be here

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

Thanks. *hurries up stairs*

*calmly drinks her wine, crossing her legs*

Noelle said...

((*hugs Fabroo* :/))

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

*returns about 20 minutes later, sits down*

Well, Kindred is fine. They're in Japan, she got kidnapped for a while, by witches, would you believe, and then Salacious came and saved her, but they were fighting at the time, so they didn't talk for another week, and then they made up in Tokyo. They hunted down a murderer to celebrate, it's all very cute. She says she was sorry she didn't call me, and I said it was fine, and didn't exactly expect her to give me daily updates, yada yada.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

And.... You aren't worried anymore, then?

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

I'd be a madman not to be worried. They're going monster hunting in Mongolia next.

But after the kidnapping, they've decided that after Mongolia, they're going to call it in. Come home.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

... So what do you want to do?

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

What do you mean?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Are you going to wait? Do you have a bad feeling about Mongolia? Anything?

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

I have no feelings on the matter. I normally have feelings on things, but not always. No, no feelings. *downs a shot of Tumblesoz*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*opens her mouth to say something*

Trip... *she reaches over, taking his hand* You should go to her

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

Why? It's none of my business! She'll be fine.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*takes another sip of her drink* Trip, you're blocking something. Whether it has anything to do with her or not, I don't know. But I think that you are... Uncertain, perhaps on the next course of action. For example, you keep saying she's fine- like you're convincing yourself more than me

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

I know what I'm doing. I'm assessing my own actions, I'm ashamed of how laughable readable they are really. I know I'm convincing myself. I'm just gonna keep working as I was, because Kindred is powerful, and more than capable of keeping Salacious safe.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Well okay then... She will be okay. *she nods*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I beg your pardon. Is there anybody on?)

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

Yeah. *drinks another shot*

#ChaseForBook9

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

((Hugs Adra))

((Hugs everyone))

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Yeah I just havent bothered Tadra because its pointless

Noelle said...

Perhaps you shouldn't be drinking. Drinking whilst one is troubled is... Well, a bad habit

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

(Hey Anni. Yeah, have fun with your opinion Zaf, just don't be a dick about it.)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((Hi Anni! *hugs*
*hugs Fabroo*))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I will not spoil anything, because that is a very great crime in any fandom. However, I will simply say this:
The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary.

That is all.
Carry on.)

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

True.

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

(And I won't intrude just because I am not sure where you are right now, and I don't feel like Trip (RP) or Adra (RP) would appreciate it.
I may do something by myself, I don't know.
Maybe I'll do a flashback. Or a solo RP. Or just one of those *walks down the street in search of adventure* stories.
Or maybe I'll do nothing.)

Noelle said...

*sighs* You mind if I stay here tonight? And don't feel obligated to say yes. I just... Feel like you shouldn't be alone.

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

Not at all.

#ChaseForBook9

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

(I'm here if you want

Noelle said...

(Do what makes you most comfortable, dear)

(I kind of just had the coolest thing ever happen. So my mom went to a huge festival where they sell healing stones and other very eastern spiritual things, and she buysa wand, which is about two feet long. She pulls it out for me and I take one look at it, feel a pressure in my ear, then just start sobbing.

Apparently, the wand pulls bad energy out of people.

It was just so cool!!))

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

((Annika, I've been thinking. If you want to just pretend that Precocious doesn't have the tracker, you can. Or she can keep it. I don't want to make you feel obligated to return it at any point. I can sort of rewrite things and make there another way of opening the box.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Okay then. *she leans over, pulling him to her, and kissing him*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I kind of want to do a flashback.
But I have to think of a flash to back.
. . .
That was an odd sentence. But I rather like it.)

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

*kisses back, softening up* I'm sorry I was so tense, I just...

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Hmm . . .
Let us assume that {because I did return to the box at one point, recall,] that at that point in time, I dropped the tracker. It is now lying beside the box, in the forest.

I am going to go into flashback mode now.
Imagine everything I furiously type as tinted in sepia-tone.)

Sir said...

Good morning, afternoon, or, as I suspect the case to be, for the majority, at least, evening, Blogland.

Noelle said...

((OMG okay Anni :3))

*she is carefully running her hands through his hair* Don't be sorry- I know the feeling.

Noelle said...

((Hey Sir!))

Well, here it is.

----A six year old child clutches her teddy bear and looks up at the mansion.

Greetings, Ms. Fabienne, Mr. Castalan, Ms. Dark, and Ms. Barnosky.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I apologize. I'm a slow typer today.)

Hassle Precocious: *holds tightly to the girl’s hand*
I know thou’s nervous, but, please, try to calm thyself. Thou shall enjoy it here, I think.

I . . . I hope so.

Tarot: Of course thou will!
Thou will love it here. It belongs to my good friend, Ms. Lockswitch.

Hassle: *mutters* VERY good friend.

Tarot: Please, not in front of our neice.

Does she have children?

Hassle: Three.

Tarot: Yes, three. And one of them is about thee’s age.
Thou shall love them, I am certain.
Come on. We’ll help you get settled in.

. . .
*looks behind her*

Tarot: *looks too*
What art thou looking at?

Nothing!

*behind her*
*a few yards away*
*stands a little girl*
*with a red balloon*

X: Yes.
Go inside.
Meet the family.
They will, all of them, utterly loathe you.
So you’d better try to make a good impression.
‘Kay?

. . . ‘Kay.

Noelle said...

That would be... Awkward. If anything, I hope an Ewok. Those are adorable teddy bears

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Kerias.

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

*frowns*Before they came into contact with the rebellion, ewoks brutall captured and cooked off-worlders.

They are hardly, adorable teddy bears.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

The looked the part, however. I would hug one. Tell me you wouldn't, though

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

Hi Sir

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

I would not hug an Ewok, lest it use it's claws to tear great chunks out of my back.

----The living room is massive, beautiful, and absolutely horrible. Every surface is dusty, except for a bowl of peppermints on a table in the corner, and everything is a dark, dark red, or else ebony black. It is a frightening ghastly sort of room, with eyes that follow our intrepid little heroine as her uncles plop her on the couch and sit on either side of her. Hassle crosses his legs, Tarot crosses his arms, and both take peppermints and begin loudly chewing them.----

*doors opens*

Ameliorette Lockswitch: Hello.
I didn’t see thou come in.

Tarot: Helloooooooo Ameliorette.

Hassle: Please, not in front of our neice.

Tarot: *looks sulky*

Amy: *sits in an armchair*
*adjusts her blood-red dress*
We will of course be THRILLED to accept the child. What is her name?

I haven’t picked a-

Amy: We will call thee Eliza.

But my name is not Eliza.

Amy: Eliza, I would like thou to meet my children.
*gestures to the top of the staircase*
Of course, thou understands that thou must respect them, obey them, and love them uncontidionally as thou’s own siblings, as well as serve their every whim and cater to their every need.
It is the least thou can do, since we are taking you in.

Tarot: I beg your pardon?

Amy: *looks seductively at Tarot*
Hmm?

Tarot: . . . Nothing.
I like your dress.

Hassle: *grimly looks up at the three children on the staircase*

Sir said...

I would ask how you fare, but for the fact that you have already made it clear.

Noelle said...

Trip, most large bear-like animals could do that.

Though I suppose you do have a point

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

Yeah I wanna flip because I do an RP i said i'd be offline for a lot of today and they replace me

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

Exactly, Ewoks are small grizzly bears with weapons tactics territory and a social hierarchy! It's terrifying!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

So are humans! They have poison gas! And tanks.... And then the throw people into mass graves without a second though, picking people off like matchsticks...

*she stops*
*Shakes her head* Sorry about that

The Grave of a Coward said...

----There are three children on the staircase. One of them is tall, and very attractive. He is seventeen, with jet black hair, and a clipboard. He looks as if he would like to be anywhere else. In his arms he is gingerly bouncing a baby girl, who is waving her little fists and giggling. The third is a boy, probably ten, with black hair and a narrow-eyed, fixed sort of stare.----

Amy: Eliza, meet Algernon, Lily, and Oscar.
They are now, for all intents and purposes, your family.

Hassle: Thank you very, very much.
*stands up*
We’ll be going now.

Tarot: *grabs Hassle’s arm*
I beg your pardon?
Leaving? Now?
But shouldn’t we say goodbye to our darling neice? See that she’s properly taken care of?

X: *plays with her red balloon*

*and for the first time*
*”Eliza” realizes no one else can see X*

X: You will never be properly taken care of.
But maybe not for the reasons you think.

Hassle: I would like to go home, Doc. I have a duck in the oven.

Tarot: That is your excuse? What, are you a housewife?

X: These two men will be the most important people you will ever know.

Tarot: It is difficult to overcook duck. You’d have to try very hard.

Hassle: I would like to go home. This house sickens me.

Tarot: Amy’s house sickens you?

X: Say goodbye, “Eliza.”

Tarot: *looks at “Eliza”*
Why are you looking at us in such a way?

X: These are the only men who have ever, or will ever, love you.

Hassle: You look a bit pale . . .

X: Say goodbye.
You will never see them again.

Sir said...

Hrm... I cannot claim to fully understand the situation. But in any case, they are hardly 'replacing' you, Ms. Kerias. After all, each human being is unique.

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

It's okay, I guess. I think I need to go to bed, I'm rather tired. You?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah I am a bit... *she hops from her chair, yawning*

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

True that Sir. *shrugs* How are you?

Sir said...

I am as well as I could be expected to be. Thank you for asking, Ms. Kerias.

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

Of course Sir. Hmm I must admit I am sorry for the fact Hyde visited

Lily: Algy! Algy!

Algernon Lockswitch: *swears very loudly*

Amy: Algy, not in front of the baby.

Algy: Mother, I’m sick of staying home and looking after the baby! How will I EVER get through law school if I’m not studying 24/7?

Amy: You can study WHILE you mind the baby.
And don’t forget, we have a new member of the family.
*points to “Eliza”*

Algy: *looks bitterly at “Eliza”*
You little bitch.

Amy: Algy!

Algy: I don’t like her.

X: See what I mean?
Nobody likes you.
Nobody loves you.
The only people who ever loved you were your uncles.
And look!
They’ve gone.
They’ve already walked out the door.
Leaving you here.
. . . If you knew your true name, you could squish Algernon.
Squish him like a grape.

*giggles*
Like a grape.

Amy: What?

Nothing!

Amy: . . . Hmm.
Well, as you know, I am a busy woman. I have no time to play mother. That duty will be deligated to Algernon. Look at him as your new mother.

Algy: *smiles wickedly*

Amy: Now then, if you’ll excuse me . . .
*departs*

Algy: So . . . It looks like it’s just you, me, and the baby here.

. . .

Algy: Hmm . . . what to do to entertain a six-year-old . . . and myself, of course . . .

Oscar: Want to come play outside?

Algy: . . .

. . .

Algy: . . . Oscar?

Oscar: *points at “Eliza”*
Want to come play outside with me?
We’ve got a swing set.

I’ve never played with a swing set.

Oscar: Oh, it’s good fun! You’ll love it!

Algy: Yes . . . yes, you go do that. Go play outside with the other runt.
*disappears into the nursery*
*still holding the baby*

Oscar: *looks at “Eliza”*

*looks at Oscar*

Oscar: . . .

Come on, then!

*for the first time since her parents died*
Oh . . . okay!

I’ll tell you. My name is OSCAR.
And it’s GONNA be Oscar Unstoppable when I grow up!

Oscar Unstoppable?

Oscar: Yeah!
Mommy says that your name should describe you.
And I’m gonna be unstoppable when I grow up.
So that’s gonna be my name!

That’s nice. I like that.

Oscar: Me too!
But don’t tell anyone.
*whispers* It’s a secret.

*puts finger to her lips*
Okay.

Oscar: What’s your name?
It has to describe you!

. . . I don’t know.

X: Sad. Pathetic. Abused. Miserable. Unloved.

. . . Lonely, I think.
Or Forgetful.

Oscar: *giggles*
No way!
Your name has to DESCRIBE you.
I think it should be Pretty. Can it be Pretty?

Do you think I’m pretty?

Oscar: *shrugs*
I guess so.

Aw!

Oscar: Nooooo, you’ll get cooties on me!

Whoops!

One day, I’m gonna catch it, and put a saddle on it, and ride it away.

Really?

*whispers* Let me tell you your true name.
And you will be the most powerful little girl in the world.
And everybody,
EVERYBODY,
will love you.

Noelle said...

((Ah gods I forgot I'm getting up early tomorrow. Goodnight, my friends! *hugs* Sleep well)

Sir said...

Very well. Good night, Ms. Dark. Dream well.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks up at the sky*
*looks back at X*

*somewhere*
*a baby named Lily is crying*
*somewhere*
*Algernon is trying to do his homework*
*somewhere*
*Doctor Tarot is wishing he’d had the guts to say something to Amy*
*somewhere*
*Hassle Precocious is basting a duck*
*and somewhere*
*a little boy named Oscar is heartbroken*

. . .
. . .











Okay.


X: *smiles a bloody smile*
Such a pity.
Such a pity.

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

I'm gonna go to bed night

The Grave of a Coward said...

(And I am going to end my flashback on that lovely cliffhanger.)

Sir said...

Well, good evening to you, as well, Ms. Kerias.

Excellent technique, Ms. Barnosky.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Thank you. I think cliffhangers are a very good tool if you don't overuse them.)

Sir said...

Indeed, though I can hardly claim to know much about writing.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Well, writing is my hobby, apart from fencing and watching rather too much Doctor Who.
. . .
. . .
Everyone sort of dropped off to go to bed at the same time. Are we the only ones left?)

Sir said...

...

Harrumph. I believe so. That is odd. Well, I suppose they deserve their rest.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(That's strange. I suppose they were all just waiting for the role-playing to end. Oh well.
I'm going to drop the parentheses.)

Ah, that feels better.
So, how have you been?

Noelle said...

((I NEVER DROP OFF))

The Grave of a Coward said...

AUGH!
Adra, you frightened the living daylights out of me.

Sir said...

As well as I can be expected to be, I suppose. And you, my good Doctor? Have you remembered more than... Blackberries?

Noelle said...

((Damn right))

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes a deep breath*
*exhales*

. . . No. I haven't remembered anything else. Nothing but blackberries in the summertime.

But the nightmares are worse.
Yes, I finally got to sleep. I think I'm starting to prefer the sleep deprivation.

Sir said...

... Quite, Ms. Dark...

In any case, you have my sympathies, my good Doctor, for whatever little they may do.

Noelle said...

(On Long Island Medium, Teresa is reading the mom and sister of Talia Castellano... This is gorgeous))

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, sometimes sympathies are all that can be offered. Thank you.
But, really, it's not your concern. These are my problems, after all.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(That sentence was nigh unintelligible to me, Adra.)

Sir said...

Indeed. I do hope you overcome them, my good Doctor.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(By the way, I found a picture the other day that rather reminded me of you, Sir, from what I know of your background.)

Thank you.
*sighs and begins playing with a yo-yo in her pocket*

Noelle said...

((A medium picked up the soul of the girl, Talia, who had cancer and did all of those makeup tutorials? I believe Ellen and Covergirl sponsored her but she was gorgeous and- she's just a beautiful soul :) ))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(. . . Well, I don't know how I feel about that, Adra.
*wonders how she feels about that*)

Sir said...

Really, Ms. Barnosky?

They are just words, my good Doctor.

Noelle said...

((Well... It was just heartwarming. I saw this medium before at a show she did. She's popular, and-
Ah
It just occurred to me that you might now believe in mediums

Hell I don't think you even know half the things I do believe in so this might sound wild

Er..
*hides* I'M NOT A WITCH I SWEAR))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I did. Would you like to see it? It's actually quite adorable.)

Well, words have toppled governments.
They've set whole words ablaze.
They've broken hearts, and mended them.
So I feel that when words are intended to heal, they ought to be acknowledged. Just a little.
*spins yo-yo up and down*
Even if they ARE largely useless.

*chuckles*

Apologies. I'm getting all sentimental. I won't make you listen to me, of course.

*bounces yo-yo*

We've all got more important things to do than be sentimental.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I am a Christian. I believe that most mediums are shams, but I also believe that there are proper witches out there.
I also believe that I should have absolutely nothing to do with them.)

Sir said...

It is fine if you are, Ms. Dark.

My good Doctor, I suppose so. But you hardly wish for me to stand here, debating you.

I would indeed, Ms. Barnosky.

The Grave of a Coward said...

True . . . true . . .

(Here it is. It is a Gentleman Cthulhu.
----->)

Noelle said...

((I'm not a witch though... My mom and I just believe in a more eastern culture. Er, not to slam Christianity- believe me, I have the utmost respect for it, and I most certainly agree that Jesus Christ was a charismatic and worldly man, but I always believed that he was more... Higher thinking. As in, Hinduism, Over-Soul, 7-12 chakras (depending on how far you go out) thing.
Yeah, my mom and I believe a lot of healing of she soul and energy of the mind and cleanliness of the entity thing. It's quite interesting.
I personally do not believe in God in the ends that he is a man who lives up in the clouds, but God as life itself, and we are life- everything is life, you know?
Similarly, I believe that after I die, my soul will go move on somewhere else, and that energy will make life in another thing.
But I don't know, I only know of a few dimensions...))

Noelle said...

((God damn I went off on a rant again))

((Apologies for that.))

Sir said...

That is a lovely picture, Ms. Barnosky.

Ms. Dark, people love to bring their passions to others.

Noelle said...

((Er, yes. I understand that, but I know the Chrostian Churches are very, well... Anti-what I just said.

If I offended you or anything, Annikna- please don't take it wrong :/))

Snow said...

(( I AM ADDICTED TO SEWING ))

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . Hmm. I'm a bit hungry.
Would you like something to eat?

*walks down the hall and enters the kitchen*
*shutting the door behind her*

*opens cabinets*
*looking for food*
*and humming a nonsense tune under her breath*

Dum da dum da dee, da dum da do da dee . . .

*coughs*

Dum da doo dee . . .

*coughs*

Dum da-

*coughs*
*coughs more and more violently*
*blood splatters on the floor*

What the-
What the-

*covers her mouth*
*blood spurts out between her fingers as she continues coughing*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I am not offended.
I agree with absolutely nothing you said in that rant.
But I am not offended at all, and my high opinion of you has not changed.)

Snow said...

(( :O ))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Whoops.
Gotta change my profile picture.)

Snow said...

(( SEWING IS FREAKING AMAZING ))

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.

Ah...
My good Doctor, are you entirely alright?

Noelle said...

((Each to their own *nods her head*

I must be off- ta! *waves*))

The Grave of a Coward said...

*a voice echoes in her head*
*a loud, strong, familiar voice*
*raking through her mind as if with claws*

X: Time to pay the piper.

*coughs*
*more blood*

X: You've put this off for too long.

*coughs*
*more blood*

X: You don't have much time.
You're dying, Doctor.
Is dying as much fun as you'd hoped it would be?
Will death be as pleasant as you dreamed?

*coughing violently*
*more blood*

X:You have twelve days before the sickness kills you.
I expect to be paid
in full
before then.
Ciao!

*and the voice is gone*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*coughs violently*
*blood dripping on the front of her shirt*

*cries out hoarsely* I'm fine! It's all good! Just looking for a snack!

*coughs up more blood*

Snow said...

(( this is what i just finished making in sewing. isn't it cute? ---> ))

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Dark.

...

My good Doctor, you appear to be coughing up blood. That... Does not qualify as alright.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(That's lovely, Snow!)

Snow said...

(( hand sewn, it was so much fun to make.))

Sir said...

While it certainly looks adorable to me, Ms. Stormberg, I hesitate in identifying it.

The Grave of a Coward said...

How can you tell through the door-
*looks angry at herself*
I mean, not that you're right.
I am perfectly well. Just like alwa-HURK!
*coughs more blood into her hands*
*takes a deep, rasping breath*
*and tries to slow her breathing*

Snow said...

(( XD we had to make our own designs. i did this. ))

Snow said...

(( snows tree plot... *thinks*))

Snow said...

(( SAPHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! *TACKLEHUGOFDOOM* HIIIII))

Sir said...

...

If you must know, a series of gateways that begin microscopic, and increase in size while distorting light.

Frightfully rude, and I shall send you a personally signed letter of apology later.

Now, then.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks momentarily surprised, and a little impressed*
I thought that sort of gateway usage was bann-HURK!
*vomits more blood*
*grabs a towel*
*starts furiously trying to clean herself off*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Hugs Snow back tightly*

Snow said...

(( right... so i promised a blogland parody to you anni. i intend to live up to that promise. what song should i do it to?))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Wbd, I have so much to catch up on...

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Something idiotic and popular.)

Sir said...

Oh, it is.
*walks down the hall*
*opens the door*

Snow said...

(( idiotic and popular... you mean :what does the fox say" ?? XD ))

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks up sharply when Sir walks in*
*and she's standing on the kitchen floor which is covered in blood*
*blood all down her shirt front*
*and a bloody towel in her hand*

. . . I
am
FINE.

*coughs up blood into the towel*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Yes, Snow. That is the thing of which I mean.)

Sir said...

...

No, my good Doctor.
No you are not.

Snow said...

(( right... i need to think of a song... wbd))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Zafira goes Meh!
and Trip goes Adra!
and Snow goes Cactus!
and Precocious goes Tea!
but . . .
What does Niccolo say?)

Snow said...

(( i am not doing it to that moronic song.))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Cracks up laughing*

Snow said...

(( LOL!! i was legit rolling on the floor then. people were looking at me like i was crazy...))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I hate you all.
Anni; And what does the Saph say? :P

Okay, gimme a minute for the ded.

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

((Hello...))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Snow; You are crazy, remember? You're friends with me.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes a deep breath*
*hoping she won't choke on blood*
I don't-HURK
*more blood*
Need-HURK
*more blood*
Your help-HURK
*more blood*
Confound it all, how much blood do I have!?

Snow said...

(( HEY FAB!!! what song should i do a blogland parody of?))

Sir said...

Around six to seven pints, my good Doctor.

Now, if your lungs have collapsed, there really is little I can do.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes a deep breath*
*holds it*
*exhales*
My lungs seem fine . . . I think . . .
*tries again*
Yes, my lungs are fine . . .

*voice echoes in her head*
X: Well, I can't kill you yet, can I?
After all, a gentleman always gives a lady time to respond to his request.
Twelve days. No more. No less.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
*coughs up more blood*
*as the voice fades away*

Snow said...

(( song song song....))

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Fabi! *hugs*
Okay, I ded to all of the fantastic Bloglandians, because I missed you and you're awesome. I also ded to my birthday, in two weeks :3

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

((Annika, you are a truly brilliant person. It's a pleasure to know you.))

((SNOW. I don't know...))
