Glancing back at old Blog entries, I happened to notice that on December 23rd of 2012 I had 13,320 words of LSODM written. This was a good thing to notice. It means that, with 18,504 words of Book 9 already spewed forth onto the page/screen, I am well ahead of where I was last year — and I finished LSODM in PLENTY of time, did I not?
Well, actually, no, I didn't. It was pretty much down to the wire, as they say. I couldn't afford to make ANY mistakes with LSODM, because I had no time to do anything resembling a significant rewrite. But at least I know it can be done. At least I know I can do it. Now all I have to do is hope I DO do it.
Pressure pressure pressure... It's everywhere. I don't actually mind pressure. It's a handy tool to make you sit down and write, after all. And I have no one to blame for these onrushing deadlines but me, because I'm the one who agreed to them in the first place. I'm the one who said "Hey, let's collect all the short stories, and I'll write a few more brand new ones, and we can publish in the summer before the final book!" And what a wonderful idea that was. What a magical, wonderful idea, to schedule the writing of short stories at the same time as I've scheduled the writing of a book. How clever that was.
I had wanted to include ten new stories in the collection. I STILL want to do ten — but the fact is, I might not be able to. I may only be able to do five. I want to tell a tale of the Dead Men during the war. I want to tell the tale of Billy-Ray Sanguine and what he did when he was recovering from the sword-wound that Valkyrie inflicted on him in The Faceless Ones. I want to show you how Val met Caelan for the first time. But most of all, I want to go back to Skulduggery and Valkyrie, back before the screaming and the killing and the darkness. I want to see them having fun again, before the death and the destruction and the heartache and the loss. The collection will be out mere months before the final book, after all... I want you to enter into Book 9, fully aware of how good it used to be between them.
And then I want to shatter what remains of your souls.

*supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAII!!
Mind if I join your RP?
Wait. FIRST. I must read this story before I forget.
((Hmm okay I'll try to be hereish))
Ravel: Look Zaf I need you to come with me I know you ought to be in America but you know it's easier for you to contact the other Councils across the world
I know but I should go home.
Ravel: Stay.
Oh..alright
Ravel: Alright I hate to say it but...he's back. Someone reported seeing him near Dublin.
Joy of joys. *buries head in hands* I can't handle this
Ravel: try
((Hi Zaf!))
*starts reading but then realizes how long it is*
... I actually think I'll finish it later... BUT WHAT I READ WAS FANASTICFUL :3
*pokes Zaf and Ravel*
Haiii
Not bloody try! You don't understand how insane this is. If he truly wants Niccolò and knows Niccolò's true name we're dead! You know why? Because that's a seriously strong enemy. I hate thinking we're gonna die but we will.
Ravel: Zafira control your anger. You do not understand what's going on. We know he has no idea who any of us are or well most...
My point. We're screwed he's had a good 100 years to grow stronger! Why didn't you guys think that when Valkyrie shunted?
Ravel: we did Zaf.
Hi Jubi
Ravel: Hello Jubi
(( the story is amazballs XD))
(( i have another creepy story that i am gonna post... long again.. but it is amazing if a little... odd...))
LOL
The penguin caper
by Snow
Last week, when I was sleeping in the bedroom, a purple penguin came in through my open window. To my surprise the penguin immediately jumped on the chair and bounced right over the bed, knocking over the glass of tea that I had poured earlier.
The penguin then ran into the kitchen where it over turned the spoon that was sitting on the table.
After 8 minutes of chasing the penguin through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. The penguin quickly climbed the nearest ten-foot cage.
The End
The penguin caper

Last week, when I was penguining in the penguin, a penguin penguin came in through my open window. To my surprise the penguin immediately jumped on the penguin and bounced right over the penguin, knocking over the glass of penguin that I had poured earlier.
The penguin then ran into the penguin where it over turned the penguin that was sitting on the penguin.
After penguin minutes of chasing the penguin through the house I finally caught it and put it outside. The penguin quickly climbed the nearest penguin.
The End
So what do we do for this?!
Ravel: Zafira....will you calm down? Please. *has arms around* We will work together we won once we can do it again, alright? Relax. *kisses gently*
*relaxes feeling his touch*
Ravel: Thank you. *brushes hair from Zaf's face* Was it that hard?
*gives a small smile*
Ravel: Insane.
*is legit rolling on the ground laughing because of that second story*
*laughs*
Ravel: Come on Zaf let's...let's go to my own home. We both could use a day away from stress maybe a few hours. *takes her wrist using her teleporting bracelet to teleport there*
*once actually alone, turns to Ravel and buries head against* You win. Saracen rubs off on you.
Ravel: He is my friend as much as any of the Dead Men are.
*laughs and kisses cheek* Come on why did we come here alone?
Ravel: So we could be alone, Zafira.
Meaning? You know something.
Ravel: maybe I do. Do what you want.
*happily lays by fire*
Ravel: oh Zaf...*sits beside and brings closer* What will we do when Alexis and Olivia know how close we are?
Tell them its all i can fo they can take it how they want.
Ravel: So then you were thinking my thoughs?
Magbe?
Ravel: Good because I need you to do something...would you be willing to commit again?
Yes and no cheating shall happen.
Ravel: good good
Ravel: So I can feel safe to sleep beside you?
Yes.
Ravel: *gets them blankets and lays together besides the fire sleeping instantly*
* BACK IN ROARHAVEN
Ghastly: Tipstaff?
Tipstaff: Elder Bespoke, word from Grand Mage Ode that they're spotting people thought to be dead.
Ghastly: Shunted. Any word where Erskine is?
Tipstaff: Elder Spiritheart said that the Grand Mage often takes Grand Mage Kerias to his own home.
Ghastly: He'll answer soon...go.
Tipstaff: *leaves£
((I vanish I can't keep eyes open))
(( g2g, byee))
((hello??))
What's wrong, Fabi?))
(( whats the matter fabs? wbd))
*Hugs*
(( *nods* people do tend to be annoying...
(( yep. i always feel the same*hugs fab* guess thats why i come here...
how are you, deathy and fab?))
I'm... I'm meh. I'm always meh. I'm officially in year ten. My sister and her perfect boyfriend broke up. My face is killing me because of my braces. My best friend is leaving for Queensland tomorrow and I'll never see her again. I'm pretty sure that means I'm okay...
*hugs death* you know, i just realized how much younger i am than you lot... it seems strange, but i dont really feel like i'm younger...
[hugs Deathy and gives her an ice cream, because cold creamy foods made me feel better about braces at least]
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at fabi* thats because you're like an older sibling to everyone here.
(( DUN DUN DUN!! i knew she would be fabs sister and i knew loux would die. fab, sometimes my friend you are too predictable!

SHRUBBERY!!! all i can think of every time i read that is Monty Python...
((KAY ))
((kay))
okay. nice. good. fun...
g2g, bye fab/loux *huggles*
Well, it's been a lovely day of feeling like an extra puzzle piece no one needs
Being interrupted in every moment of peace or rest
It's been my worst writing day for a while. I sort of feel like deleting every pathetic thing I've done or said.
By every pathetic thing, I mean everything.
It's all pathetic, even by my standards.
I accomplished basically nothing, and I should have gone to sleep ages ago instead of trying to be cool. 'Cause I failed at that, miserably.
I was so excited, too...
I guess I shouldn't have thought for a moment that my plot was going well, or that I was good at evil plot twists...
Ugh, I'm wallowing in self-pity again. I hate it when I do that.
Bye.
See you never.
((In other words, despite the fact that I'm sixteen now, I can still throw temper tantrums, and will do so. I'll be back, don't you worry, and I'll virtually stab anyone who acknowledges this comment))
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi!! Don't delete what you've written!! It's beautiful!!
It's rubbish, but thanks.
And I've got a copy on my notes thing. If it magically becomes not rubbish by morning, I'll post it again. Or edit it or something.
:/

#ChaseForBook9
HANGING OUT IS CALLED HANGING OUT BECAUSE THE WOMEN USED TO SOCIALISE WHEN THEY WENT TO HANG OUT THEIR WASHING TOGETHER.
#ChaseForBookNine
D:
*hugs Lantern* I loved your plot . . . :/
And look. My writing is crap. But I have the philosophy that if I keep writing, it will become less crap, because practice makes everything better. :) So even if your plot is crap, which it wasn't, although I haven't read the deleted stuff - that's okay. :) Sometimes, we have to lose. We can't be good at everything. And if you enjoy doing something, it doesn't matter how crap you are at it. Like . . . when I play sport in school, I generally hate it, because I just get yelled at all the time and get really cold and you know. But when I'm playing sport, like badminton or whatever, with my family or friends . . . I'm still just as crap, but it's okay, because they're crap too and we all fail together and have fun doing it.
. . . Well, not with all sports, but you know.
And even if you are crap at making plots . . . which I don't believe you are . . . that's fine, because so long as you enjoy it, we can be crap together. :)
Plus . . . my French teacher . . . she gave us a sheet of questions people had asked and the answers. Like "How much do we have to write in the speaking exam?"
And then she had a few fears people had underneath.
And one of them was "I have a fear of failing, I really hate failing."
And she said, in her reply "I know how you feel, I was exactly the same."
My French teacher . . . she failed her English GCSE. And she was really disappointed at it. But she didn't give up, despite her failure, and now she's teaching in an English school.
Failure is good. It teaches you things.
In Chaos Walking . . . there's this mad priest, and he says all the time "If one of us falls, we all fall." And . . . to become a man in Prentisstown, you have to kill another man, on your thirteen birthday (which is when you become fourteen years and one month in the years of our world.) And Todd was the last boy in Prentisstown, and the mad priest, Aaron, was trying to get Todd to kill him, so he would become a man, and the priest wanted to die as a martyr. And he was trying to make Todd mad, trying to make him feel the RAGE, and the HATRED, and it was just a lose-lose situation, because if he didn't kill Aaron he would kill him and Viola, and if he did kill him, he'd been doing what Aaron wanted and Aaron'd've won.
In the end, Viola killed Aaron.
And she was just throwing up and going, "Oh my God, I killed someone. I killed someone. I've fallen. I fell."
And Todd knew he needed to comfort her, like she'd comforted him, and he was saying, "You know what I think? I think we all fall. And I think what's important is that we get back up again."
. . . I know I could have just said the last bit, but it needed context to be fully effective.
#ChaseForBookNine
I've been thinking lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
The past tense, the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own, and I'm to blame
Living's a wicked dream when things turn out all wrong
We're all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
I tried running away from me, convinced me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally
Demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity
All a part of me
I don't like that you're calling me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneaking around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade
Karma has beat me down, the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes, and still I'm so young, yeah
I tried running away from me, convinced me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally
Demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity
All a part of me
I can't count how many times awakened in fear
Nightly, palms sweating
Dreams of promises I've made to no one but myself
I've been crushed daily
Don't lend me your hand, I can't trust myself
So how can you trust me?
We've all made selfish, bad decisions
We've all tried dishing out the blame
Convinced ourselves of our own actions
My problem is, I'll never change
In doubt, some good comes out, I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
I tried running away from me, convinced me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally
Demons, they follow me
I quit running away from me, convinced that I had grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity
All a part of me
Truth won't help you now, all the love's gone too far
Oh, oh
Truth won't help you now, all the love's gone too far
Oh, oh
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
Demons, they follow me
Cause my insanity
#ChaseForBookNine
This song really reminds me of Niccolò in hell . . . Which makes sense as it's meant to be about someone in hell . . . but still:
NIGHTMARE!
Now your nightmare comes to life . . .
Dragged you down below
Down to the devils show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never!
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world, your last endeavour!
Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Coz men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the end of time here
(Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!)
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life . . .
Can't wake up in sweat
Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation!
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination!
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell you
"Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications!"
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
HA! HA! HA! HA!
(Maniacal laughter)
Fight (fight!)
Not to fail (fail!)
Not to fall (fall!)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (die!)
Die again (die!)
Drenched in sin (sin!)
With no respect for another
OH!
Down (down!)
Feel the fire (fire!)
Feel the hate (hate!)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (lost!)
Hit the wall (wall!)
Watch you crawl (crawl!)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their voices
(Calling from above)
And I know they may seem real
(These signals of love)
But our life's made up of choices
(Some without appeal)
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life . . . !
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare

#ChaseForBookNine
Woooh my card is looking a bit more completed! :)
Ez is going to rescue Hunter, too. :) Good.
. . . It might take her a while though.
. . . And then they might take a while getting out.
. . . But them taking a whole getting out is fine. I can write that. :) Them interacting, I mean.
#ChaseForBookNine
I feel so sick... Bleugh...
THANK FUCK IT'S SATURDAY
I still have homework to do -_-
@Mara: HELLO!
I think I had something I wanted to say to you, but I've forgotten it, sooo . . .
Hey Death! :( *hugs* Hope you feel better soon.
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, yeah, and I wnet to clean my rabbit out . . . so these comments are a tad late . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, damn.
The fact I said the word 'tad' reminded me of Tadra. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
U kno Star..
*hugs Star* Hiiii :)
If you remember it, I'm here :P
Msd though:/
@Mara: I'm not sure I will. :) It wasn't a "I have to tell Mara this." It was more, "Ooh, I should tell Mara that."
-_-
Damnyness.
Hey Adra! :)
ARGHHHHH THIS CARD I'M MAKING IS PROBABLY MY BEST YET, IMO. *freaks*
. . . Well, to me. It's so chaotic and it was so fun to make. :P
It just looks like a load of things piled on top of each other. Like broken bits of coloured glass. :)
I'm proud.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi Mara! Hi Star!
*mumbles curses about horseback riding*
HOW IS EVERYONE?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: :(?
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't really wanna go, I'm too sore.
Meh
I'll go anyway.
On the bright side, the police tape is gone..
@Adra: Yay!
. . . Sorry, lunch happened.
#ChaseForBookNine
That's okay, Star *cuddles* I'd have waited
(Who is innocent?
No one is innocent
Who is innocent?)
(Who is innocent?
No one is innocent
Who is innocent?)
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men in their dark charade
This can't be happening
A mother's selfish pride
Her child's homicide
Can she be to blame?
The suited vultures circling
A father's cruelty
A murdered family
Is the world insane?
Their defenders ready to embrace their lies
With their devious smiles . . . !
Your corruption is like
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally!
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again in the masquerade
A battered woman trembling
Her lover drunk again
When will the torture end
In her web of shame?
Is death the only way?
A child victimized
The crime politicized
For the counsellor's gain
The rabid media congregates
His tortured memories
A pervert's fantasies
Is the world insane?
The parasitic devastation seen
On your TV screen . . . !
Your corruption is like
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally!
Your corruption is like
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally!
False defender, burn forever
False defender, burn forever
Cold and spineless
Have you no soul?
Wicked-minded
Out of control and guided
By their hunger
They will find new
Ways to betray us
Your corruption is like
A cancer growing inside
You owe the world an apology
You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally!
Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
Presumed innocent
Justice fails again in the masquerade
Has the whole world become insane?

@Adra: :) *hugs* :)
Still distant, I think, sorry. :( The card.
#ChaseForBookNine
You know, although it's a really cool song... People tend to forget the good stuff that happens.
Oh, there's a typhoon in the Philippines? Instead of focusing on ALL the bad things ((although they are important to know), it'd be good to show the millions of people who are donating and working over there to help.
Quite alright, dear
. . . I think people forget a lot of stuff, good and bad. :/
"You dare to tell me that there never was a holocaust?
You think that history will leave the memory lost?"
No, but I think the significance will fade in our minds.
In the Bartimaeus Trilogy . . . I realise this is an alternate reality, but Bartimaeus, who is over 4000 years old, was pointing out how civilisations fall over time, and how what happened was that when you had a lot of magic in one area, people began to become immune to it and began to uprise. It had happened to the Egyptians, and the Romans, and the Greeks . . . they had adversaries on the outside, but first, they began to fall from within. And when it began to happen in London he knew exactly what was happening and didn't particularly care.
And the magicians just hadn't learnt, had they?
. . . I don't even know what my point is anymore.
So, my SECOND point is, yes. :) That's really radifying. *nods* I think that would send out a really good message, to show that . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
I also wish people knew what the Armenian Genocide was. It's a part of history that... Well, people ought to know.
I think people ought to know a lot of things.
But there's only so much you can learn.
Unless you're Hunter or someone, who'll be around forever unless killed. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ezter
What if a vampire drank from the blood of someone who was anaemic
Or hyperglycaemic
Or HIV
. . . Sorry, my dad came and started trying to teach me German.
What I was going to say was: -_-
I should have seen that coming.
*laughs*
I almost doodled 'EZTER' in the back of my science book yesterday, then I was like woah wait what. :P
Ez would not be pleased and Hunter would just be disappointed in me. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Idk. :/
Well . . . maybe they'd just be sick. Like food poisoning.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah well transfer that to me if ta want, I'm Ezter galore
How do you think you would bottle time?
Because Myrnin said once that he tried to bottle it, but it didn't stay fresh.
Admittedly, he's insane, and he'd just had one of his more insane turns at the time . . . I think he started forgetting things and then tried to kill Claire and then got all depressed, or maybe that was another time. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: I realised. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes. Words. Insight.
*whispers* Ezzzzttttererrrrrererer
They're perfect for each other
I know
*laughs*
. . .
I'm sorry.
You know, in In The Shadows, Luce said that soul mates didn't have to be in love with each other, and I stand by that. *nods*
And
I FINSIHED MY CARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!
#ChaseForBookNine
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
#ChaseForBookNine
Each pattern is a letter. :)
That U was a MENACE, with all those spirals. Had to stick so many pieces of paper on top of mistakes, I swear . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
And now, I have to make another card! :)
. . . -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
That's really good, Star! *cuddles* I MSD, actually...
By yeah. I know. I think Skul val love each other but aren't IN love
MOTHERFUCKER
they put me with the one fox I LOATHE
HER CANTER AND TROT HURTS SO MUCH
ON A NORMAL DAY
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
@Adra: Thanks! :)
I THINK IT TOOK ME LIKE SIX HOURS OR SOMETHING. -_-
Definitely not less than six hours.
Yeah . . . yeah. *nods*
Although, I'm pretty sure Valkyrie did have a crush on Skulduggery at one point.
But I still might change my mind about Ezter. :) Although I can't just decide to do something. I have to believe it is what is, if that makes sense. And I don't believe it is what is.
#ChaseForBookNine
D:
*hugs Adra*
Good luck! :/
#ChaseForBookNine
DO EZTER DAMMIT
RHATS WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
AN EZTER MOMENTTHATS ALL BAISSS
FUCK
NOW IT'S RAINING
AND IT's 30F out her and i don't HAVE LONG SLEEVES ON
I AM IN HELL
GSOABANANA *is dead*
I swear to shit God hates me
Or whoever exists
Even if it is nothing
Idc
@Adra: Oh gosh. D:
It's not really your day, is it? :/
Well . . . good luck anyway. :)
And - *sighs* I'll write you an Ezter-ish moment if you want . . .
Oh gosh though. I have to make a Bloglandian Christmas present thing, I guess. D: *is not doing individual things, no way*
#ChaseForBookNine
Tayyyyyyyyhhhhyyyyyy I is happy
But, like, if it makes you uncomfortable, then don't do it
It was a suggestion:)
I'll likely go in a few...
Distantly here if not at all
*laughs* I have lots of Ezterish moments that happened in my head.
But if I start writing it'll drag out to be much longer than I intended it to be.
Hunter and Ez work better in writing than in roleplay . . . but I think that's me, not them. I like writing better than roleplaying. It's like how I like books much more than TV. When watching something on TV, I often have the urge to write out the scene, because it would be so fantastic in writing . . . but the film is kind of a representation of what the book could be, in my mind.
It's just . . . you can get so much more through writing, emotion-wise. And that stuff when you just kind of write and . . . and you just start going on about something and sort of drag it out and it's amusing, but you can't do that in films, because it sort of happens in thought, but not really. I write in third person . . . but often have random switches to first person, and when I'm representing thoughts in third person, I'm often writing partially as them and partially as someone describing them, and you just don't get that area in films, the area where you have those metaphors that are sort of what they're thinking but not really.
. . . But that wasn't my point.
You know, I just think romance films are often so boring. I mean, I know I'm not the biggest romance fan ever, but books do it so much better, because in films, you miss out on so much thought, and on books, you have the thoughts and the emotions clearly displayed, and what's reading/watching romance without thoughts and emotions?
There are positives to films, I get that loads, but I think books are, in general, better. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Zaf! :)
@Adra: Okay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I am dead
Now and forever
Ezter is adorable, whatever happens
I personally wouldn't expect them to be all romantic-y, unless Hunter were being sarcastic, and yeah
The best part is when they just in general look after each other
That's what I think is the cutest part of any ship. How much the people care for the other
Ahahahhaha
...? Is no one here?
That's sad
I miss writing. I miss plot. I miss weaving an intricate story, finding just the right mix of action and detail and emotion. I need that outlet back. So I'm here, but I'll be distant, writing stuff and maybe posting it. Anything in particular anyone here would like to read?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh gods I'd love to suggest but yor writing makes my feels hurt
And I meant to email you, in case you're still doing that thing we talked about....? *shrugs* But I know the feeling *cuddles*
Hurt in a good way
Because it's so good
But yeah
Oh, thanks. I'm still a little eh, but there's a lot more happy now than before- my guidance counselor is helping me get out of school, so. Anyway, whatever I write will probably be feelsy no matter what I write.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, thanks very much. Writing is important to me.
#ChaseForBook9
I figured. It's a feelsy time. *cuddles* *whispers again* my inbox is always open, btdubs
Whatever it will be, I'm sure it'd be affective.
*nods a lot*
*nodding*
Mm, thank you. *hugs* So, what's new?
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: I'll keep that in mind. :)
Thanks.
*thinks*
And, sorry - I had to go get eggs from the corner shop, which I found the word for in French the other day, and now I have forgotten the word. :)
@Ari: Hello! :) I don't have anything in particular for you to write, but I'm sure whatever you write you'll do it awesomely. :)
And, now I'm going to write, wbd . . .
I've just sort of realised how my story kind of has all this stuff in it and it's just kind of like what what kind of world is this why is all that there what why. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
In which universe?
In the real one, er, homework and conditioning.
In the BL... Spiritual stuff. I'm exploring and building what it means to be an alchemist and things
That's okay Star *hugs*
The thing is, though, that whenever Hunter and Ez are here they're constantly acting in some way or another because everyone here is strangers, so I think part of my preferring writing them is they can be themselves, and when they're not being themselves on the outside they are on the inside, and I can't show the inside in roleplay, can I?
. . . Sorry, I was just thinking. :P
Actually, I was thinking about something else, and my thoughts wandered.
#ChaseForBookNine
Ah, that's cool. I saw you mention Transcendentalism, and the Over Soul, which is cool. What's the conditioning for?
#ChaseForBook9
I dunno they're freaking perfect
/Tiptoes in, and hugs Adra tightly/
/Virtually stabs her with a balloon sword/
/Walks over to Star and stabs her as well/
/Vanishes/
Martial arts. I took my first lesson
And I'm dead.
Yeah Emerson is my man
*hugs person whom she knows back*
*whispers* I love you
Ohmygosh, yes, I LOVE Transcendentalism. What martial art are you taking?
#ChaseForBook9
I was thinking of doing a thing on channelling for nameless, would you guys be interested in that?
#ChaseForBook9
Martial arts? *head pops up*
#ChaseForBook9
Ya mon! *hugs* Hi-
Shaolin
THOSE TRANSCENDENTALISTS SPOKE TO ME
EMERSON, WHITMAN
ALL OF THEM
No but it was legitimately my first lesson...
Thing
And I can't move without hurting
Jsoahwkdigaoaaba
Ok, vanishing for a bit
#ChaseForBook9
Oh. Alright *hugs* Bye *pokes her nose*
MY DAD CAME BACK FROM AMERICA AND BROUGHT ME BACK HOLLISTER OMG I'VE NEVER HAD HOLLISTER BEFORE
I take real issue with brands. And make up. And touch rugby.
Also, hey Mara.
#ChaseForBook9
*pops from balloon sword* *lies as a puddle on the floor* *so therefore can't hug Someone Else Who Isn't Here Right Now* *but would do otherwise :)*
Hey Trip!
Sorry I'm distant.
#ChaseForBookNine
Mara! That's cool!
Hollister stores are so dark
Like I went in one once
I had to feel around for the clothes I wanted
I hate shopping anyeay
Why the fuck is Glee singing Blurred Lines
No
Hollister is cool though :)
And warm. And it looks nice. :P
Hey Trip *hugs*
Hey Adra *hugs*
:)
Oh course-
But it's so DARK
OHMIGOD YOU NEED A FLASHLIGHT IN THERE :3
Adra - omg my dad literally just said that all the Hollister stores are really dark XD
I've never been inside one before... I think there's one in Dublin but idek :\
I'm not a big fan of shopping either but as long as I have clothes that look nice-ish and keep me warm I'm happy :P
*hugs*
My sister likes Hollister.
I have but a basic knowledge of stitching and if given the same materials I could make that.
Dagnabit brands...
#ChaseForBook9
@Mara: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)
Hollister are awesome. :) I'm wearing my Hollister hoodie right now and they're really good, they last a really long time and the colours are really good. *nods*
*doesn't have anything other than hoodies, but I'd assume the rest of their prducts are as good*
Plus - Hollister
Holli ster
Holly star
IT'S MY GIVEN NAME AND MY TAKEN NAME TOGETHER. :O
#CHaseForBookNine
My favorite kind of clothes store is...
Clothes
I hate shopping so much. I don't know how people can stand for ten hours..
I've been to the Hollister in Leeds and the Hollister in Liverpool and the Hollister in Sheffield (with my irl friends and Luciana. The 'Luciana' bit being the important part. :)) . . . and they are really dark. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
I just buy new clothes every six months or so, all along the same colour schemes so I can throw on whatever and it goes. It makes life so much easier.
But I'm glad you like your whatever it was you got Mara.
And I agree, the Hollister stores are really dark. Why are hey dark? Are they trying to prove a point? Is there some philosophical reason?
I wantses to know.....
#ChaseForBook9
Trip, I think it's supposed to be like a night club
Or something. I wouldn't know.
But yeah, same. I get winter clothes, and then summer clothes, and then I'm done. But also, since I go to school with a uniform, I wear those all the time, so...
Yeah
I have two Hollister hoodies and a t-shirt weEEEEEE HAPPINESS
Trip - Hollister clothes are still nice though :P
And they last for aaaagesssss
I get what you mean about brands though :/
Star - I'm wearing my Hollister hoodie too :) it's reallllyyyy warm and comfy and it's cool. It's grey and pink :3
HOLLI STAR
WHY DID I NOT SEE THAT :O
I like shopping when I'm with my friends. :) We have fun. Like, on my birthday, my friend spilt her Fanta all over the shopping centre floor, failed to clean it up with toiler paper, and the man had to call a cleaner to clean it up. A few minutes later, I spilt my Fanta on the shopping centre floor - in the same place - failed to clean it up with toiler paper, and then we left before the cleaner came back because that would just be embarrassing. XD In the same trip, four of us wanted to buy folders, and three of us got fairly pretty ones. D got a plain black one. She then relaised that the pretty ones were cheaper, so she tried to cancel the item on the self-service and the machine froze and we had to call for assistance. XD
I thought I might pass out form laughing, that day.
But ordinarily . . . I don't like shopping either. XD I mean . . . I do not get why it's fun, really.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star! *hugs*
I loathe browsing. My father's side of the family have always been good t shopping. Know what you need, find it, like the one you have, buy it, go home. My mother's side are much more on the let's browse for three more hours then buy the first on we saw.
That happened too.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah...
*just smiled to self*
For me, 'winter clothes' and 'summer clothes' do not exist.
Come to London in the winter. You /will/ see people walking around in t-shirts and shorts. And in the summer, you /will/ see me walking around in a thick winter coat and jeans.
#ChaseForBook9
That's how my brother is. Jeans year-round...
I'm different. I'm t-shirts year round. The cold doesn't affect me as much
I'm being too grumpy, I'm sorry. It's dark, and when it gets dark so does the spirit, so on and so forth.
#ChaseForBook9
And I really want to go back to the UK and Ireland again. *rolls around* *rolls down hills*
I like shopping with friends too :)
I remember me and my friends went into town (our town is pretty crappy tbh haha) and we went into Penneys which is Primark in England I think? And my friend L said that we should get matching headbands and C said that because it was Christmas we should get reindeer ones. So that's what we did, and they were so funny because they lit up. XD and then A was like "guysss this is embarrassing" so
we all put our arms around each other and pulled A into the middle so she couldn't get away and then started scream-singing Christmas songs as we walked down the footpath oh my god I laughed so hard I cried that day XD
*magically opens clouds*
*plays hallelujah music*
*probably didn't do anything*
Sorry :/
They're meant to be cool, with it being dark. And then they have screens that show the sea in the fake windows. *nods* And they have American flags and all that to go oh look we're American, because that's seen as cool, here. Although, whenever I see an American flag, I now think of Avenged Sevenfold . . . :P
They're dark because they're trying to be cool, basically. :)
My mum always complains that I just wear the same two things over and over again. I think 'two' might be a bit of an exaggeration, but yeah . . . :P
My brother's the same. :)
@Mara: Pink and grey! Yay! :)
I like the colour grey, and I'm meh about the colour pink. :)
Hollister hoodies are amazing. :) I have a blue one and a pink one, and I did have another blue ones which is now my sister's. My mum says she doesn't mind buying me Hollister hoodies because it's all I wear, hoodies, and they last really well so they're good for my sister as well, and yeah . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't go shopping. I don't have friends, really.
Oh shit it's got me too
IM MELTING
*melts into a puddle*
@Mara; *laughs* That's awesome. XD :) :) :)
Yup, we have Primark!
@Trip: -_- O know what you mean. Me and my brother, when having to buy things, just get it when we see one we like. My sister sees something, then wants to look at all of them and pick the best, so me and him just kind of sit glumly in the corner. XD
Previously, with me not being able to decide anything . . . if I had to pick anything, it would take hours, and everyone would get fed up, including me, but I'm a lot better now. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: Am I not your friend? :O
. . . But yes. *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Everyone has friends Adra.
Even if you don't realise it. *creepy smile*
Search your heart, you know it to be true.
#ChaseForBook9
Greetings.
@Trip: That's probably true. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Sir! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Herrow Sir.
#ChaseForBook9
I mean in the outside world, Star. :P But I have enough fun with you all, so it doesn't matter that much...
Trip, er... *takes a step away* er..
Creepy smile
Hey Sir! *hugs*
UGH FINE
Er. Quite.
YOUR ATTEMPTS TO FOOL ME ARE FUTILE! MWUHAHAHAHAHAA!
#ChaseForBook9
My mum says that it can sometimes take a while to find the people who are like you, but that they're out there. *nods*
I have quite a lot of friends atm. O_O I have five irl ones. I think that's a lot. The annoying boy I sit opposite in RS acts like that's practically none, but what does he know. :P
. . . I'd always rather have a few proper friends than lots of not-proper friends, like a few deep cuts rather than lots of shallow grazes, and I've always kind of been like that. I don't really do shallow grazes very well. Although, sometimes I don't do deep cuts very well either. It's like sometimes you get strong winds and sometimes you get barely any wind, and it just depends on the weather. It's just chance, really. By chance, I have a few good deep cuts now. Previously, I haven't.
#ChaseForBookNine
Jesus Christ.
I haven't a clue what to ded to. Perhaps to you all feeling better. Whether it be with writing, or school, or even a smile.
Because it's good to see you all happy and having fun, because that makes me happy too.
So yeah
*raises glass*
I was so close to getting Star
If it weren't for you meddling kids
I don't even COUNT shallow grazes, actually.
It's like when the annoying girls you sit next to in lessons because seating plans say "Are we friends?" and my thoughts are just like how can we be friends we barely know each other.
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Adra* That's an awesome ded. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
An excellent dedication, Ms. Dark.
The adventures of, Kim Jong Un!
#ChaseForBook9
*hides under her large fluffy blanket like a chinchilla*
I don't know, guys.
Help.
#ChaseForBook9
...
Neither do I, Mr. Castalan.
I'm just... floating on a sea of misunderstanding, slipping under, falling asleep.
#ChaseForBook9
With what?
I think I might just be tired.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs him*
I know how you feel, actually. You've no idea how much I feel like that nowadays as well. Just- you don't have to hide anything, you know that? And if you feel like it, you aren't alone... *hugs tighter*
*hugs*
Thanks.
#ChaseForBook9
*carefully gives him a skulcake*
We all love you, kay? Like, a ton. And you help us, so we can help you, if you need it
I concur with Ms. Dark.
Thanks, again. *noms skulcake*
Maybe I'm hungry.
I didn't have a big lunch, and normally do...
But it's nice to have someone to talk to.
