«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4971 Newer› Newest»Hi Rose! Well...If it's best for you then, shouldn't you rid of it? But if don't want to, then that's fine :)
Atm I'm roleplaying with Zaiya...Feel free to join in!
Brb.
(I haven't role played in a while... I don't really know where/how/when to do what now...))
So... What you're saying is... We have to keep Rhy's brother on the good side of... whatever it is?
(Hey Death! Okay Rhy)
(Don't worry Death, I can't remember how to rp correctly either :P)
Hello..?
(Hey Chione! How are you??)
Backsies!
Jana: Exactly Zaiya...Their are Light and Dark, Casters. Churchian Tithe, one of the most famous Dark Casters, River Cross, unfortunately became Dark...Blikae must become a Light Caster
((HI CHIONE!))
(I'm good, what we RPing?)
Blake**
Brb again sorry!
(Hey Rhydian ^.^)
um...cool?
Backsies!
Well Chione...Not really sure what we're rping tbh. A Sensitive has just come from a different dimension telling me that my little bro Blake is a Caster, and we must make sure he doesn't become a Dark Caster, and that he must become Light Caster.
Hey everyone.
This is Tommy. Dean said to give you guys an update on Shell when I know more.
She's back from some tests and it seems that both her hands are fractured. She's still not talking so we don't know what happened.
The doctors here are satisfied that the IV antibiotics are working fine and her immune system should be alright by the end of the day.
In saying that, they don't want to keep her in for too long, they think it's vital to get her back into a routine as soon as possible. But even though she might be home, she will be on suicide watch and be getting home help.
We are advised to read to her and play music (not sure if this was explained) so anything is welcome to read to her or suggestions to play to her. It's to do with triggering familiarity for her to open up or something technical.
Anyway, I'll let you know if anything else comes up but for now, that's how she is and what's happening.
Well...At least she's going to get better. Er...I know she likes Westlife, if that helps?
((Brb. Sorry for dissapearing a lot.))
Back again! Shouldn't be leaving again hopefully!
Thank you so much, Tommy... I don't really know any songs Em likes but I do have a really good one... I think...
Those times in life we learn to try, with one intention
Of learning how and when we'll die, but we can't listen
I wish to God I'd known that I, I didn't stand a chance
Of looking back and knowing why, or pain of circumstance
You're not alone
We'll brave this storm
So here's my song I wrote in time, when it was needed
Through pain of heart or loss of mind, your burdens lifted
You aren't alone just know that I, can't save our hearts tonight
You're not alone
We'll brave this storm
Let's face today
You're not alone
You're not alone
We'll brave this storm
Let's face today
You're not alone
You're not alone
We'll brave this storm
Let's face today
~ Carolyn, Black Veil Brides
So that's what happened to Em...
Well you could definitely read Skulduggery Pleasant to her...
It's not just songs as well. It's anything to trigger familiarity, just to get her to open up so we can figure out what happened.
So it can be anything really.
Ok erm...I really dunno?
I don't really know... Mara and 1Direction, uh, something else that's familiar... I don't know... I'm sorry... Can you please tell her that I love her? Please?
Gtg now. I'll be back later. Give Em a hug from me please? Bye!
She turned her head slightly when I said 'Death Rose sends her love' :)
Thank you. Can you also tell her (I'm feeling really bad using you like a messenger, sorry...) that I'm really glad that she's okay and that she's my sister, forever. I stay, she stays.
I hardly know Em so...I can't really help...
I heard my name?
Mara just look up, I can't even explain it, Em is ok though.
I checked Twitter and Derek said that he wrote what was easily his most harrowing scene ever.
EVER.
So much that he cried.
So he wrote a sad as hell scene
His worst one yet
And said that when we see the "cloaking sphere", that we will know that it has begun
gUYS
GUYS
HELP
IM ABOUT TO CRY ANYWAY
Hi btw
Hi Adra...
Hello, Chio! How are you?
Oh god...Derek, what have you done...? Who have you killed...? Please don't be Dexter, anyone but him, he's too hot to die!!!!
Chio? Is that my new nickname? And I'm good Adra, you?
I kind of do that with everyone- fudge a new nickname.
I'm really excited for the 50th of Doctor Who. I'm in such a good mood from it aha
And that's good to hear! *hands her skulcakes*
She looks incredibly like Teresa Palmer...
Yeah same Adra, dunno if you saw my tweet or not saying about the special eppisode lol
Oh, I rarely go on twitter- maybe once a week- but I'll check it out!
Cake :D *hands Adra a Tardis cake* ^.^
*creys*
*noms TARDIS cake*
Thank gods my stomach is bigger on the inside
XD *pats Adra on the head and sits next to her eating her skulcakes*
*begins to hum the background music for DW
*surprise hugs to all* Hi!
And I think the scene Landy wrote is Skulduggery's death. Or Valkyrie's. Though Val wouldn't use a cloaking sphere.
And when I'm feeling down, I listen to Pixie Lott's acoustic covers.
Hi Tia!
No he is only about 30k in... Skulls wouldn't die that early
He doesn't write beginning-to-end. He might as well kill off whoever he wants to kill, then write previous chapters with the knowledge of who dies. But let's hope for no more good guys dying.
AWH I don't tink Skully died
I would be depressed for ages if Skulduggery or Valkyrie died...I cried for 10 mins when you know who died... again, I hope it's not Dexter. He's too hot to die.
Shahada
They're prob going to both die
I sobbed twice
Nuuuuu.
I knoooowweww :(
Also- I'll have to go in about thirty minutes- horseback
My character idea for Derek Landy:
From afar, the castle looked unwelcoming, but only when you got inside would you feel the cold repelling you. As Tia made her way through the castle, checking each corridor before quietly dashing down it, she thought as to why Serpine didn't position more Hollow Men on guard.
The ones she'd found so far were separated, and weren't aware of her even as she was standing behind them, slashing their throats with her daggers.
Eventually, a corridor gave her a choice - left or right? Either would do for reaching Skulduggery. Without losing another second, she chose right.
Nobody around that corner. She broke into a run, just as she noticed the White Cleaver stalk round the corner. Using her momentum to her advantage, she lunged at the already turning Cleaver's neck, only for him to bring up his scythe and cut through Tia's hands.
Tia staggered back, shocked. She had found herself in similar situations before, and she never really did get used to the pain.
So she used the only trick in her magic arsenal - shunting. The Cleaver never had the chance to finish his job, as she was already standing back at the split in the corridor, 30 seconds prior to her discovery.
She chose to go left.
(The adventures of Tia Halcyon will continue... Eventually)
Wow... That was cool, Tia!
Hey! How are you all?
Hey Rhydian!
I am cold :/ but otherwise ok :)
In a few minutes I'll start to read Death Bringer, probably my favourite :D
How are you?
Does anybody here know when SP was released? I know it was sometime in April 2007, but I need a day
Hey Tia!
I'm good! For some reason I'm thinking of the last SP book a lot, and it's freaking me out coz I don't want SP to end.
Aorry, don't know. Been reading since first book though.
Oh right...I'll just go back to Google
Same, only started talking to fellow SP fans because I'm scared that SP will end.
Rhyds
Hey Adra! How are you?
Gotta clean the house wbd
KK Tia!
About to leave, actually. But good. Excited.
Excited about what might I ask Miss Dark?
What do you think, Mr Sky?
I'll be writing a bit, dunno why, bit bored. So, your just gonna see lots of writing stuff from me.
Well I dunno Miss Dark, that's why I asked :)
RCA, perhaps? :DDddDddddD
And why, the Doctor Who 50th, good sir
*begins to flip out in French*
"Corvo Lavender...Rhydian felt sorry for his friend. She was new to the Skulduggery Pleasant, and she had a lot of pain to go through yet...Poor Corvo Lavender"
That was so totally random hahaha

#ChaseForBook9
HI MOSS!!!!!!!!!!
I POSTED THE LINK FROM HARPERCOLLINS 5EVER AGO!!!!!!
ITS BEAUTIFUL
THANKS TOM AND DEREK!!
It would be today...
Hello Rhy *sits up against tree* My god...
Imagine Dragons - Monster
Thanks for sharing that, that song is amazing!
Your welcome Tia!
Oh dear, everyone has gone insane... *slides down against a wall watching with wild eyes*
Everyone seems insane...What's going on?
@Chione "Embrace your inner lunatic. Fun times guaranteed." - Skulduggery Pleasant
Nothing just reflecting how insane life is you know Erskine cant even be here because of Mevolent. I'm only here because I was sent here. We've all teamed up again despite the whole Ireland issue
Sorry Zaf, what? I've been distant lately I may have missed something.
Lovely. Thanks for that Tia. *drags Tia down to sit beside her and grins*
I really am insane, i'm just amazing at hiding it - most of the time -
Mevolent is back. Niccolò went into hiding. All I bloody want is to know Coco is alive. I tried reaching to him mentally but he wouldn't respond, to be honest I'd even be happy to hear a few of his names screaming. At least I'd know he's alright. I can just hearhim "Do not worry about me, Zafira." Well I do worry about him because it seems we let him out of our sight and he sells his soul to a demon.
Ah. Sorry about that, not actually here!
Probably won't be all day!
[hugs anyone who wants/needs/doesn't mind a hug]
[disappears with a flourish]
#ChaseForBook9
Brb
Back!
Wbd. Cousins are here
That was a glorious ride
K Rhydian
Hi Adra
Hi!
Ruby is presh
Zaffy slept so late xD Tech Week is so exhuasting wow I'm awake st like 9 usually I slept til 10 yesterday snd Today
I woke up at 6!
SLEEPING IN FTW
Haha I may only have 2 days of school before Thanksgiving. See the reason is Wednesday is goig to snow but its enough to delay school, problem is you can't delay a half day. So they can only close you ad the amount of snow is enough to make buses not start easily so they may give us off if we get hit plus timing is perfect
*collapses on the ground at everyone's feet*
I'm bored!!!! ;_; boredum is taking over my weekends! I have no laptop, no books to read untill the 4th when I hope I get some for my birthday, no friends to hang out with I've been sitting in my bed all day watching anime like a loner, god help me ;_;
Tom Percival you have outdone yourself
I am so getting this!
Chione why no laptop? I have one but I rarely use it as I have an iPod and iPhone
Er...
You're under the impression that you're the only one that does this...
My laptop screen is broke ;_; I need to wait till my birthday for a new one.
I'm on my tablet but even then... none of my 'friends' are online...
Ah. Yeah that helps if you can use the screen. Happy early birthday! January 25th for me...
...tumblr.
Yeah
Wbd
Zafira I'm in East Midlands - Nottinghamshire!!!!
*Sits next to Chione, hugs her, walks off looking all confused*
#HopeFornoSchoolBecauseOfSnowOk?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm in America in Pennsylvania
Cincinatti
Snow is snow. Now snow, snow, or you're no good to me as snow!
School is meh.
*Cincinnati
What
Adra is a city girl and I live more in the country I can't sleep when we stay over by my Poppy's he lives in Fairview which is like the city ad you can go to NYC from there
Is KOTW art same on Hardback and paperback?
*smiles at Tia* I'm the Goddess of Snow you know? I'll make it snow where you are.
And we should all meet. Just once. Maybe at a signing?
Anyway, I've never been to NYC, is it all it's cracked up to be?
Oh shut the fuck up I liked in small town North Carolina for the majority of my life you don't even fucking KNOW MY LIFE
YOUWANNA GO
I'm really not ready for the 50th, I'm moody
But don't you EVER call me that again
Hey, Chione :) I wan snow that beautiful gorgeous snow c:
I live in Scotland... I met Cassidy at Comic-Con in September and I was really happy. I'll never get to meet you guys though...
Gtg now. BYE!
I'll make it happen, eventually. Maybe closer to Christmas for everyone though ;)
Bye Rhydian.
Okay Adra god I didn't mean to offend you.
Uhm I hve only been there 4 times but its neat! I havent been there in years but during Christmas we're going to go again
@Chione I've never been to a book signing... but if i'll ever go to one, it must be a Skulduggery Pleasant one. So in 2014, I'm going. There is still every chance we could mmet.
@Adra Are you ok? You're scaring me :c
*meet bcz la spelling
Bye Rhydian'! *hugs*
I may go i 2014 but probably will go over in 2015 to the signing of Derek's new book. Unless he magically comes over to the States but I'm kinda scared to go meet him in person.
[Waves a wand and waits to see
If anything will happen]
#ChaseForBook9
FABI! *hugs*
[hugs Adra]
I'm running around like a maniac, packing things, so wbd/msd.
My ear keeps popping... It's weird...
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf, don't be scared of him. I got a special picture with him 2 years ago :D everyone else had to put their elbows on the table next to him but he got up and put his arm round me for mine. God he's so funny too. My mum dissed his drawing of Skulduggery, the boy infront of me asked if it was a peice of toast, Derek looked clearly offended :3
She's a maniac MANIAC
On the floor, and she's dancing like shes never danced beforeeeee
Sorry, had to finish it.
*makes everyone read this*
*hugs* bye guys, off to read the Death Bringer!
I mean you'd think I'd be cool with it after NJ letting me talk to him twice and then the over an hour Skype call in the beginning of November....no I'm kinda scared. We got the Christmas cards last year and tried to figure out what he drew until we realized it was Skulduggery.
Bye Tia!
Man
FLASHDANCE
Bye Tia!
Exactly zaf. I mean, he said he went to art collage for 2 years. Pfft. Oh god don't let him see this.
Bye Tia.
He did get kicked out....I see why.
XD Zaf, oh god.
Msd. Going to the library.
That was a slightly insane convo
I think his art is gorgeous
Hey! Wbd...Writing.
Right Adra
Christmas cards?
*looks confused*
Does anyone have his address? I'd send Derek a Christmas card but it's telling me to send it to Harper Collins, in USA! So it's going UK > USA > Ireland which is annoying!
No, it has to go through Harper Collins...
Yeah you gotta send it through HarperCollins. Watch him find my book actualy was sent to him he just totally lost where it was in the stack. I'd laugh omg that'd be 3 copies of one book
Oh shoot I meant to send him his present from me and Val...
In, like, June
We rewrote the letter and Marissa wrote: The idiot who was supposed to send this lost it.
:3
Man
Good times
Back.
My ice looks so beautiful under the moonlight, even on grass it glimmers like gold.
Whoa. Poetry.
:3 i am very creative. I draw vaguely well, I am ok at poetry, I like to think I'm good at singing and writing. I wish I was a descendant of Apollo...that's all I ask...;_;
I can play the flute, guitar, piano, keyboard, drums, xylophone, glockenspiel eh... I would say triangle and symbols but anyone can play them.
MERTHUR
Huh?
I can sing
Lol Zaf.
Merlin and Arthur
I do sing and act, and dance
I loved watching merlin :3
gtg now...Bye!
I used to go to dance lessons as a child. I also used to go to pace (kinda theatre group thing)
Bye Rhydian!
Merlin is precious
I'm only on episode four...
And I took piano for 8.5 years...
Swimming for 6
Horseback for... 3 now, I believe
And dance for 7 :D
I-I wanna learn how to ride a horse too...
I used to take dance lessons as well and then I quit dance to do musical theater which I loved and I wish never closed
Anyone got any ideas of what I should draw...?
Ah... Mornings like these make me wish to play the William Tell Overture. The Ranz de Vaches movement, in any case.
It's hard, but the horses are fun to work with.
Sometimes not...
But they have personalities. It would be worthwhile
Doctor who- something related, Chio.
Hello, Sir! *hugs*
Greetings, Ms. Dark, Kerias, and Asahina.
Hi
Merlin is... Yes. Just yes.
That Welsh man? I suppose he's rather interesting.
Rather interesting?
More like extremely.
Some of his writings helped form the sects of Alchemy
Damn yo *sips tea*
Well, if you insist, Ms. Dark.
I do.
*sighs* Those were the days
I would... Tend to disagree with you, but I certainly understand your opinion.
Ok good idea I'll draw something DW.
We, I didn't mean the Dark Ages. I mean- something else.
Er...
I meant my days of learning alchemy
Ah, well, I would hardly know about that, then.
Of course not.
It is my memories, after all.
But I digress.
Tea?
*feels someone take my hand*
Ravel: Zafira *helps up*
Hey *hugs tightly*
Ravel: *kisses lightly* come here
No thank you, Ms. Dark.
I dedicate this page to Em making a full recovery to the world of normality. Also I ded to explosive trees
Awh, alright...
*drinks more tea*
Damn December months
*raises flask* Hear hear
An excellent dedication, Ms. Kerias.
I quite enjoy the winter, actually.
Oh- don't get me wrong, I do as well, but when your hands get so cold that they lock, *gestures to her stiff hands* it's a little aggravating
