@Joyce: Ikr? :P
Ez: @Tia: Non-romantic, frustrating, and none of your business. :)

(Yeah, Ez isn't the most open of people. Or the nicest of people. :P Sorry.)

THAT'S AN AWESOME COVER!!!!!!!!!!!! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Above cover is amazing and so are Ez and Hunter! brb gotta brush teeth apparently. Does Skulduggery brush his teeth? *signature confused frown*
I think I prefer the actual one, though . . . :/ Something about the way Val and Skul are just sort of stood there in this one like "Oh hello we're standing here being on a book cover."
But it's awesome.
They're all GREY.
And DETAIL.
And GREY.
I love the SYMBOLICNESS of that grey!!!
#ChaseForBookNine
@Tia: Interesting question . . . Probably?
. . .
Do you think he goes in the shower?
@Tia: Thanks. :)

Oh, and Doctor Who. Bc I know you all like it :P
I need to make a DeviantArt account ASAP!
@Mara: *HASN'T WATCHED IT* D:
@Adra: Yay! Fours! :)
@Tia: deviantART always seems awesome to me, but I'm reluctant to give more time of my life away. :P

I'm drooling...
I'm crying the boys are perfect if you say they're anything less than amazing you're wrong only these boys could make me cry with happiness
So we have Valduggery, Deathsard (I think that's an epic paring name), Fletchabi, Vexphire and Embalgo :D
^^ Where the Hell did I get this from...?
Hey, Death!
I only recognise Valduggery. :/
technical difficulties :/ poor boys :(
It was from a few months ago... Deathsard = Death and Hansard Kray, Fletchabi = Fletcher and Fabi, Vexphire = Dexter Vex *fangirls* and Sapphire, Embalgo = Ember and ________
Also someone tell Snow that his (or her) poem is very good.
1DDAY :)))))
Thanks, Rose :) so much fangirling :)
I just had disturbing thought:
We have multiple Skulduggery Pleasant books in our collection, right? You might say we're collectors. The SP universe has two well-known collectors - Gordon Edgley and China Sorrows. So considering Gordon is a bestselling dead author of some disturbing books, I'd say we're more like China. So we're more like the character who had Skulduggery's wife and child murdered. Death indeed.
Yeah, I'm gonna go, good night and take care!

*sits down* Trees
I didn't see the trees piece, though I know a lot of them weren't happy with the spacing...
#ChaseForBook9
huh?
The trees.
In Nightmare Before Christmas.
I was a ragdoll, candy cane, apparition and sort of an assistant clown.
#ChaseForBook9
okay....
sorry, i was just thinking about something i'm thinking of doing with snow once this whole poison plot is done with. if you were in the other day you would have seen the beginning of it.
It's freezing outside
[Nods] I have a bunch of plans, too. Maybe I'll actually have time to do them now that I'm not at rehearsals all the time.
It's freezing here, too.
#ChaseForBook9
It's over :(
I'm so sad.
:/
Nothing like that will ever happen again.
And the boys seemed really pressured and stressed out during the whole thing. Not to mention people were complaining about it being "too long" and "boring" when the boys have put so much time into making this amazing and fun.
Just when something fantastic happens, the fandom has to go and screw it up again.
I'm so happy but just really depressed again.
Night, guys.
night maraaaaa
its actually rather nice here.
[hugs Marararararararalilililily] :-/
#ChaseForBook9
right. i'm gonna finish this thing. it may end up being quick and not as good as i would have liked, but it'll be finished and i can do some other things.
RP---
*as snow stands outside the house she was asked to meat Shelek at, she thinks about what information on her parents deaths he could possibly have*
*the door opens a crack and a man peeks out. seeming satisfied that there is no one else but snow out there, he opens the door and ushers her in*
I have to go, dinner...
[hugs Snow, Adra, and anyone else]
See you!
#ChaseForBook9
(bye fab)
Man: i'm Calman, Sheleks... butler. he'll be with you shortly.
*Calman deposits Snow in a large living room and quickly leaves*
Where can I get some merch for some Skulduggery-obsessed kids?!
Like the t-shirts, watches, and posters from your contest that I didn't win! Where can I buy those??
*another man saunters in, not at all concerned about the time he's taking. he sits in a chair opposite snow and stuffs his hands in his jacket pockets*
Shelek: thank you for coming. and thank you for disposing of that annoyance of a man for me-
cut the chit-chat and skip straight to the point, Tinsman. you know why i'm here and why i did you that "favor" now give me the information i want.
*shalek smiles* but of course. information on your parents is what you wanted, wasn't it? on how they died? you found out that the night they died, they were heading to the sanctuary to discuss matters of the utmost importance and secrecy and you assumed that it couldn't be a coincidence.
hurry this up please. i dont have time for this.
Shalek: you see, the information i'm going to tell you is this: your parents weren't murdered. it was a simple accident. you were just looking to find a way to blame something, someone, for taking them from you. so you came up with the most likely situation you could think of. but what i'm telling you is that it was, quite simply, an accident.
*her voice bristles slightly* what?
Gods sorry I disappeared! Graham Norton is on
Shalek: you heard me. It. Was. A. Simple. Accident. *smirks*
*snow slowly stands up, fire in her eyes*
*in slightly dark tones* you have messed with the wrong girl. you thin i chose teleportation because it was fun and got me places quickly? *a wind picks up in the room* think again. i chose teleportation because elemental magic made me too strong. *smiles bitterly as the wind picks up* the power goes to my head, see, and i loose control. in the early years, i even killed some people. but people forgot that. *the wind is whipping quickly now* lets see if they forget this. lets see if they work out who did this. after all, i have an alibi...
*snow stormberg walks out of the room, not a mark on her. she nods to Calman* you might want to clean that up. *she leaves*
*calman hesitantly walks into the room where snow and shalek had been talking.*
*the walls are covered in bits of skin and shalek is nowhere to be seen*
*oh right*
*carefully curls up in her blanket with her tea as well*
( i am giving snow a dark past. mwahaha.)
*snow, back at blogland, peers in her bedroom window, checking that lea is out. she seems to be in luck, because only her reflection lies on her bed*
*she quietly slips in the window and slides her reflection back in the mirror, making sure she is wearing the right clothes.*
*she practices acting shaky before calling out quietly* Lea?
(Ah..)
*lea comes rushing into the room and quickly has snow in a hug* oh my god. you're better. you're finally better. *he kisses her forehead and holds her to him like a teddy*
*snow smiles weakly* yeah. yeah, i am.
*she begins to shiver violently, her hand shaking as she sips her tea*
(( and that is all i have for now... ))
(Oh! Okay)
*she yawns, but continues to shiver*
((want any help in your plot or whatever it is you're doing?))
(I'm not really doing a thing. When I do, it's more spontaneous, and I wing it.)
*yawns again*
(( kay. *looks at time* shit...
i g2g, byee!!))
((Night!))
*reads quietly to herself, still doing her best to not shiver*
((Hello...?))
#ChaseForBook9
heyooo
I'm not really here right now..
BUT HI
Catching Fire is fucking brilliant. Definitely one of my favourite movies.
There's always a flaw in the system.
Hello. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Or...not...
#ChaseForBook9
Why yes, yes I am watching the repeat.
*bounces in*
I have loadsssssss of homework to do.
Fun . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
"It painted everything like paint."
*facepalm*
I have such good descriptive skills.
#ChaseForBookNine
"It painted everything like paint from a paintbrush that someone had picked to paint the paint over the scene with to make it covered in paint."
*giggles*
#ChaseForBookNine
I now have an extended paint metaphor.
. . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Holy great awesome, Derek!
Holy great Tom!
Holy great Tanith!
Brilliant coverwork, as expected, sir. :3
And, hello! :)
*tacklehugs all*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks up*
Okay, 'all' may have been an overstatement of sorts. I get the feeling too few are around for an 'all' to be appropriate. :P
@Star: xD
#ChaseForBook9
TAIAAAAAAAAAAA! :)
Sorry, morning. Mornings are bad as far as people goes. :O Everyone sneaks off and bes not here.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Yeah. XD
How are you?
#ChaseForBooknine
But 'all' can be appropriate!
"I am one, I am all, I'm above and beyond!"
*is all*
*sort of*
*kind of*
*not really*
*doesn't know where I'm going with this*
#ChaseForBooknine
STAAAAARRRR! :)
*laughs* *nods* Timezones, I guess? And sleeps. And morning stuffs. :P
How're you doing, anyway? :)
#ChaseForBook9
I'm doing good, thanks, Star!. :)
Busy-ish, I have mock exams the next few weeks and then some actual exams in January, but not as many, just four. but I need to do revision because I keep not knowing things. :P
Two of those four, they haven't even finished the teaching part for, yet. Which is a tad worrying, but there you have it. :P
But I'm doing gooood, anyway. :)
And, hey, yeah, that makes a little sense. (I think. :P)
'All' it is then. :P
Also sorry if I'm slow because iPod-typing. :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Aw. :( Good luck! Hopefully they'll teach quickly like whizzy car paint. :)
Yeah. Timezones and school and sleep. :/ Plus maybe people don't expect people to be here. :P
Gooood is gooood. :) That's why it's called gooood. :)
Msd, maybe. Idk. :/
I'm good, I think. :) Well, I'm not feeling bad, which is good, and I feel good about the fact I'm not feeling bad, so I'm good. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
GOOD IS SUCH AN ODD WORD. O_O
I've never really thought about it before but it IS.
It just looks so odd with that 'g' and those two 'o's, and it's like 'ooood', which a 'g', and 'g's are odd, and . . . and iit's like 'gud'. It just SOUNDS so odd.
It's a bit like the word 'odd', and the word 'odd' is odd, so much so that it actually MEANS odd, but 'good' means good and yet it's odd and I'm like what. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine

#ChaseFOrBookNine
Am I the only assassin in Blogland?
*frowns*
I gave five tongueyfaces to that comment.
Apparently, I'm feeling :P-y.
:P
I always kind of like the sillytongueyfaces.
Also, I like that Blogland doesn't turn them into, like, emoticon-picturey-thingummies. I tend to prefer them in the simple Colon-P to the being of an actual face, y'know? They always seem to turn out a little creepy, otherwise.
Uh.
Thanks, STARNESS*. :)
*(Autocorrect did that, not me. O.o )
*nods*
Yay! It's good that you're feeling good about the fact that you're not feeling bad. :)
And, okay on the msd.
#ChaseForBook9
@Aiden: Hunter used to be an assassin, sort of . . . And Lynxia was an assassin, and YOU'VE WATCHED CATCHING FIRE AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME AND YES IT WAS IT SO WAS.
. . . Sorry, I just sort of remembered that halfway through my sentence. :P
And Ari was an assassin, or used to be, and . . . idk, we've had quite a few assassins, but idk if we have any current assassins. Or any raisin assassins.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: Ikr!!!! I hate it when you're on Google Talk or summat and it just turns my smilies upside down and then turns them into aliens and I'm like ARGHHHH. And one point, I kept putting them in a word to stop them going retarded. I think I said something like 'bub:)les' or something like that. :P Or 'bubbl:)yness'.
Or something.
Because it irritated me so MUCH.
When drawing emoticons irl, I often draw them with punctuation to make them look better. When my friend draws love hearts, as in 'Jess <3 Jason' (her characters), she always draws the love hearts on the side with gaps in them like you would on a computer, like 'less than three', and I just think it's so interesting how we conformed ourselves to sit into a keyboard and now when we don't have the keyboard we're still trying to stay conformed, like we changed our shape to fit into a mould, and now we're out of the mould, we still retain our shape . . .
. . . Yes.
#ChaseForBookNine
*tilts head*
I guess it is. I hadn't really thought of that.
They're kind of close together, like, the 'o' and the 'd' and a double letter. It's like a confused odd. With an extra 'g'.
Or... Ood. As seen in Doctor Who, on some occasions. They're a little odd, I suppose.
And you stick a 'g' on the front, and it's good.
Idk. :P
Howdy, Aiden! :)
I think we've had a number of assassins before, along the lines. :!)
#ChaseForBook9
EVOLUTION. *nods*
Yes.
How are you, Aiden? :) *hasn't asked yet*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Taia: 'A confused odd'. :) Yes.
And . . . yes.
Yes.
It's odd. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
But the fucking ending... It just makes me want to quack.
@Aiden: Oh.
The ending was annoying.
You know, because it ended without it being finished. In fact, it'd only just begun.
But that's how it ended. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Yeah, but the ending of the third book. :'(
Gtg! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: O.O wow. Yes.
Huh. I think I prefer wow when it has no capitals, because its symmetry. I like the look of it. It has zigzaggy and smooth, so it's sharp on the outside and smooth on the inside, and I think that kind of fits into so many different things - sharp on the outside, soft on the inside. Y'know?
Um. *tries to rememeber what's he was saying*
I was wowing about the keyboard-conformation, because that's really kind of incredible, but also kind of scary, but also kind of beautiful.
We were doing about smart materials in chemistry, which we were supposed to do ages ago, but teacher-confusions and things, and, anyway. One of the things we have to learn is the shape-holding alloys and polymers. They're put into a shape of some sort. A disc or a line or a word or glasses frames or whatever. And they can get totally messed up ad squished and battered around and then, when they get in hot water, they go back to their original shape. It's kind of cool to see.
I don't really remember how t was relevant, because it's differently, but, yeah. :P
My point is... Idk. But I totally agree, anyhow. :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Star and Aiden: Catching Fire, is this?
I want to see it. Hopefully, that will happen. :)
Bye Star!
#ChaseForBook9
I keep calling my Doctor, Who. The nurses cat atop laughing. My doctor's name is some really long confusing name so I'm just like, "Oi! Doctor Who! Who? Doctor Who! Hey! It's the Doctor!" And the nurses start crying... I'm awesome.
Hey guys.
Hi Choine!
How are you rose? :)
Ah, meds are keeping me cool. My stomach hurts but that is to be expected...
How are you?
How's everything the front of the house?
I don't know, I can't see outtt..
xD awesome, Rose!
*hugs* How're you doing?
#ChaseForBook9
Gtg.. Sorry..
Hiya, Chione! :)
How're you?
Aw, bye Rose!
See you soon, hopefully.
#ChaseForBook9
Ok. Worktime.
*leaves hugs & cookies for the folks*
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
I'm good, thanks for asking. You?
Hi, guys!
Hey Tia.
Hey Chione :)
A bit of a slow day today...
The Dark and Stormy Knight and the Village Idiot :)
And Clarabelle, they're hilarious!
I hate weekends... I have nothing to do...
Well same, I'm going to watch Catching Fire with friends today though, so that's something.
Also, you can watch Day of The Doctor on BBC iPlayer if you want.
*sighs* i'll still be bored...
Lucky -_- I wanna see it too...
And yeah, they 3 are hilarious
When they figured out how to disintegrate the door...
Also <3 Tennant :)
anyway, are you up to anything interesting?
*falls in* Ow
Are you ok? (cushion your landing with snow)
Ya, I'm good.
Tia, I'm doing fuck all.
Hello Adra. Thats right just use my snow to fall on...yep...
"Doing fuck all" = my weekends
There's been snow here for at least a month, Chio. It's unavoidable
I want snow :) It rarely seems to snow here, just rain.
It snowed in Cincy a bit last night... It was 14F
*hops up* I am a monkey
Adra, MOAR CAFFEINE MOAR!!!
No more caffeine.. That stuff kills
Ok? Lol
Tia I think you need to calm down.
Why the fuck cant my fucking mother for once not make me go to my god damned fucking class I hate with a passion?! I have maybe 6hrs of sleep. I can't fucking do this with the weekend of the show I will be falling asleep in my class. I don't care anymore I hate the class and kids in the class. I just want to go back to bed. But no god fucking forbid I miss a third week because I'm too tired to go. Oh the sin! I can miss it for a party but when I need to be asleep I can't. Is she stupid? So now I have to hope I stay awake at the show which I won't.
Herrow. Not here, I just wanted to say hello, nice to meet you Tia. Have a bottle of blogland 2023, best vine of the century.
Hey Trip...wow it's been so long since I've seen you.
Hi Trip- *waves*
Update: Tumblr is still exploding
Sorry gonna go see how long it takes before I fall asleep eating
I feel so sorry for you Zafira.
Tbc, there is still now on the ground outside :3 It's quite lovely. And swirly. It floats around.
Ah gods..
Anyway- there were some flurries that came through. It was lovely. And I still have to read my "Silas Marner" for class tomorrow :3 That will take a while. But, eh, I always try to get the work done in the mornings
I love the fluffy snow :) I love ice too but it's irritating when I slide on it, I can't hate it... it's too beautiful *.*
Adra, I'm guessing tumblur is exploding cause of Dayofthedoctor?
That, and Sherlock and Catching Fire.
Ice can be pretty, until you slip and trip over it whilst snowboardingdownahillandyougetwindedandithurtslikehell
*sneaks behind Trip*
*hugs*
*whispers "We've been expecting you" in Trip's ear*
Hey, Zafira! And yes, that truly sucks. Any class taken on sunday should be UP TO YOU. No exceptions.
Okay.
I'm going to say this because it's so true...
But #FirstWorldProblems
Need to get more SP Hardbacks.
#FirstWorldProblems
Er, "need" isn't the right term, I believe, to use in this case. But I get the gist
I've got 6, 7 TMS and 8 in hardback
Chione, I have TMS and 8.
I want to get the first edition hardbacks of 1-4.
Tbh I don't mind if I don't have the hardback of 1-5, that means the world book day book will feel lonely.
I'm saving my money up for next year...the head piece for Sword Art Online, version 2 comes out next year...I-I need it... it's my life.... I can have a new life with that simple headgear... *-*
*is waiting for Christmas dearly*
Well i have the American paperback of 1. 2 copies of that one signed one not. Then the orginal paperback of 1. Then for 2 have the American hardback. 3 I have the American paperback. 4-6 are all paperback, older editions. Then 7 and 8 are hardback I have The End of the World aobviously paperback and then I have TMS in hardback and NJ got me the paperback signed. Yeah. Somehow I ended up with 3 copies of book 1. I actually well okay, so for Christmas my friend got me book 1. So then 'Santa' got me book 1 too. And then for my birthday last year I got the Battlepack and didn't realize I got the orginal cover paperback of book 1 with the pack. So then I had sent Derek my one copy of book 1. So then I askedhim if he got it and in July he sent me te American copy signed even though he never got the orginal book I sent. I will laugh if he finds it in the stack of mail. That'd be 4 of one book. I'd be laughing.
Wow Zaf...
That's... A lot of books. But how did you ask Derek? He doesn't seem to be on Twitter. It appears *gasp* that he is writing a book or something!
Yeah, the books contain an address, I'll send him a letter through HC.
I think Luce has the most books... Or NJ. But probably Luce
Anywho.
*whistles absently*
I know. But I didn't even get the books in order. I got 1 and 2 the Christmas of getting the same book. Then I ordered 4-6 off Amazon but I got 5 6 and then 4. Then I got TEOTW then TFO then KOTW then I got the orginal paperback of 1 then I got TMS both copies one after the other then LSODM.
How? Over the summer in July he was on Twitter and I asked and he was like oh okay DM me your address and so te Thursday I got back from South Carolina/ Florida the book came
I'll wait for my moment >:D
Gtg, bye and imagine those warm *hugs*
I can't wait to meet him again...
*hugs Tia* bye!
Bye Tia! Msd
Bye Tia! *waves*
Adra take a look at the link I tweeted xD
Well, I did, and then it opened a window to a site with explicit things on it, so never again will I click on a link
Omg sorry... it was a wallpaper that said "wibbly wobbly timey wimey, talk whovian to me"
Ohhhhhhh cool
Sorry Adra ;_;
It's okay-
Sorry I'm a bit distant. Annotations
I'm drawing the TARDIS anyway.
Okay-
Abc
As easy as 1 2 3
Or simple as do re mi
I'd like to dedicate to...
Hmm.
-The people affected in the Philippines
-50th Anniversary ( 438,000 hours until the 100th!)
-Sherlock Trailer
-Catching Fire
-Merlin
-Destiel
-Derek finishing book nine in time, and it will be STELLAR!
-Allegiant
-House of Hades yo
-other media things

So yeah.
OMG how many times to my dedications end up looking like a wish list to Santa I don't even know.
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard..
*
*raises glass*
HEAR HEAR!
wait shit I nearly forgot-
*-Mara and her 1D
-George Eliot NOT doing any more runon sentences. Seriously. That chick needs to get with the times
Hello, I'm not here, I just thought I'd shamelessly plug my new nameless chapter, like I always do.
