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.

*runs over*
Mara: *calmly* Hi, Jace..
Jace: I hope you know that Harry has been captured.
Mara: *mutters* To be honest, I really don't care.
Jace: Oh, really? *takes out a knife* *holds it to her stomach* Maybe you'll care when I kill the child inside you?
Mara: *dully* It's dying anyway. Go ahead.
Jace, what do you mean Harry has been captured?
*she carefully eats bread*
Jace: *looks over at Chi* *smiles* What I mean is, my friends have taken him. He's currently being tortured.
Mara: Shut up Jace. You and I both know he's probably fucking unharmed.
Jace: *is taken aback* Maralie, do you think I would lie to you?
Mara: Yes. I do, actually.
And Mara don't talk like that
*she hums, going back inside to cook up some tea, her stomach gnawing at her*
*She faintly traces on her arms where the words here carved*
((Nooooooo Meera!))
Javier: *picks Olivia up* Hey tiny one
Olivia: Daddy! Where is Mommy?
Javier: The truth? Mevolent has her, though I think fate favored her. Niccolò..,she shouldn't see him like this.
Olivia: Is Niccolò sad?
Javier: Very sad. Be nice to him and no taking knives okay?
Olivia: yes Daddy
((My apologies for vanishing so quickly after I arrived.))
*doesn't move or respond to Alexis*
#ChaseForBook9
*she hears the dragons begin to make a commotion* *she takes the tea off the burner and walks into her large lab room, looking up at the ceiling*
*she whistles softly to them*
*they don't come down*
*she notices how dangerously close they are to an electrical wire*
*there's a blinding flash of light, and the lights cut off, leaving her in complete darkness, yelping in surprise* *something knocks her to the ground*
Javier: *carries Olivia and knocks on the lab door*
Olivia: *smiles* I wanna see Aunt Adra!!!
Javier: if she's home okay?
Alexis: *goes over to* I know you're awake. *kind of sits beside* You can't totally hide your feelings but I just thought you needed company.
Mara, look at me...
*she fumbles around for something, immersed in complete darkness*
*accidentally runs into a table, picking the contents of it into the floor, and her in a rather large crash*
*Kneels beside Mara, ignoring Jase*
*calls out* WAIT A DAMN MINUTE I CAN'T SEEE ANYTHING
*she tries to push all of the metal things off of her and they clatter and bang around*
...
COME BACK LATER WHEN I GET THE LIGHTS WORKING
Javier: Would you like for me to get Olivia to summon a flame to see? I also have a flashlight
...no- god knows what chemicals you could set off
In case you forgot-
MY LAB IS DEMOLISHED
And I've been working hard on this- but it technically isn't safe
So no
((nooooo Adraaaa))
Mara: *stands up* Jace, honestly, I know you're just trying to scare me. It isn't going to work. You're just irritating me.
Javier: as you wish. If you need help I'll be in the treehouse we're attempting a rescue mission for Zaf except we now need a Shunter
Dammit sorry wbd my 3G is awful.
*doesn't look at Chi* Why..?
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO.
We now have the Christmas tree up! :)
Msd, I think my brother wants me to play the DS with him . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
((hii Star (: *hugs*))
I'm here to help you...you went through a lot yesterday. *stands beside her*
*suddenly sits up, grimacing with his head in his hands, as if he'd just developed a massive headache* *inevitably, starts to cry again, but silently* *hopes that Alexis won't notice, because of the darkness*
#ChaseForBook9
Much obliged!
*she carefully gets to her feet, feeling around for her solar lights*
*she carefully clicks one on, and bright, fluorescent lights come on*
*she slips into a harness and pulls herself up to the ceiling with a few tools to work on fixing the panel*
We've been marvelling at how much better the DS music sounds trhough headphones. :) Couldn't stop going on about it.
*hugs all who greeted me or will greet me*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Hello Star.
Although I am not able to participate in the roleplay currently, Maralie, I would like to inform you that your comments are a pleasure to read, if still rather tragic.))
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *watches him for a moment before gently hugging him hoping the fact that she came to see him helps make him a bit happy*
Jace: So, Maral-
Mara: *turns* *shoots a burst of light through his body* *watches as his lifeless body collapses* *mutters* He was irritating me.
*glances at Chi* *her face goes red* Nobody understand what I've been through. Nobody! *teleports away*
I would roleplay, but - *points to brother* - I've been being a good sibling recently.
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
((it's alright Niccolo. And, thank you *hugs*))
*watching both the roleplays with interest*
((MARAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY YOU DO THIS TO US. D:))
#ChaseForBookNine
((STAR! *hugs*))
*she carefully places the wires back into the panel, and puts them back together*
*there is another flash of light and she shrieks, electricity running through her arms* *she falls back, tipping from her harness and falling out, hitting a rather tall case with a thud* *she groans, the lights slowly flickering back on*
Hell..
(Hey sexy peeps!)
*correct - all three of the roleplays*
((Hi Adra! :)))
#ChaseForBookNIne
*stares where Mara was standing then at Jace's body*
Man she's scary...
*freezes Jace's body and goes back down the ice path she made*
((Hey Em! :)))
#ChaseForBooknine
*she rolls from the case onto the ground, trudging to the rooms and quietly opening the one that she knew the two were in*
Are...are you two alright?
(Mara are you a little hormonal there?)
((Hey Em ;) ))
((Hi Em! I know I'm sexy.
But not like, waistcoat sexy.))
((Star - :)))
Hey Em *hugs*))
((Nobody, Mara... Except, you know, me.))
((Hello, Emerald.))
*appears not to notice Alexis*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Uhm to be honest I don't know what he's feeling right now I can't pick up his emotions but...I think I have it under control.
((Zaf - she's very, ahm... pissed :P))
I meant about the loss of power and-
*doubtfully* Of course you do.
Come along then, you two need something to eat.
Alexis: *smiles hearing Olivia's thoughts and her mother's very static like ones* Hey Nic if...I tried to contact Aretha would that help?
((Now I'm not in a RP, damnnnn xD))
*doesn't give any indication of noticing Adra* *winces again, pressing hands harder against his head*
#ChaseForBook9
I really want to roleplay now, dammit . . . :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Star you could RP with me xD
((You are welcome to join us anytime you'd like to, Star. The same, of course, applies to you, Chione.))
#ChaseForBook9
@Chione: Think I might be too distant, I mean. :P
Idk though.
#ChaseForBookNine
*she stands beside him*
*she sits* Niccolo, you need to keep breathing- my guess is that this is some... PTSD/ panic attack... So just take deep breaths
((But you're in your own little RP with Alexis and Adra is having trouble with her lab and Zaf is in the palace))
((Adra - Mara's stubborn. She refuses to believe that she's not the only one :P))
*appears inside forest* *screams* *fires light at a tree* *it sets on fire, along with the trees beside it* *falls to her knees* *cries*
Okay. Roleplaying. You want Hunter, Ez, both, or someone else? Might not do someone else though. Idk.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Still though, Mara...))
((*opens her mouth to say it to Star*))
Alexis: or not...Nic...you know....you needn't be too afraid we are all real
@Adra: ?
#ChaseForBookNine
((Adra -bothhh xD))
((If you want... I can stop my roleplaying? idc tbh))
((Alexis saying that wouldn't necessarily convince him.
Judging from Hunter.))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Me??? What? No, Mara!!!
Ezter))
@Mara: I'm enjoying reading it, you don't have to. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*attempts to slow breathing* *fails miserably* *grimaces again* *whispers* Kill me. Please.
#ChaseForBook9
(Chi I'm pretty sure you can get Zaf out of the Palace if you try. Aro ordered Coco to interrogate her but ah he's in the mental state of it doesn't seem to register so you won't have him to worry about killing you)
Alexis, I... I don't think that's all the issue here. I was in his Hell. It frightened even me. The things that happened there...
If he weren't afraid or hurt, that would be concerning.
((But don't you need a shunter?))
Hunter: Hey. :D
#ChaseForBookNine
((I do not believe anyone here has any sort of problem with your roleplay, Maralie.
You are always welcome to join in, Chione, however I'm afraid I do not make for much of an interesting character presently.))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not going to, Nic. You know that you'll only go back there. Just keep trying to breathe. Focus on that.
Ez: I'LL FUCKING MURDER YOU, HUNTER.
Hunter: Sorry. *laughs* Just wanted to see the reaction.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Ez! Hunter! My ship))
((God sake Ez stop swearing)) :3
*shakes head* *voice is laced with pain, as if saying this out loud is slowly killing him* Here is worse...
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Nic. Look I'm going to put this in simple terms: you die you get to relive your fear, you live we can find a way to help you. So no I'm not killing you. It hasn't been 24hrs yet. You have people alive who care for you you want to be with Aretha, no? Yes, this hurts. But you have to try to focus on the now
((Hello Hunter, Ez.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra, Mara, what happened to MY ship. You both broke it that's what))
Why is that?
((Hunter: @Chi: Is there a law against swearing?))
((Ez: After I murder Hunter, Adra, I'll murder you.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*cringes at Alexis' woreds* *opens mouth to speak, but ends up just crying again*
#ChaseForBook9
((Hunter and Ez: Hi, Niccolò. THANK you. Hunter, stop talking in sync with me. No, STOP. STOPPP.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*words
#ChaseForBook9
((No you won't, Ez))
((@hunter no, but how about I make one? :3))
((Star: Dammit. They want me to go down and watch a film with them now.
NO
NOT HAPPENING))
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis... Please don't take this the wrong way... But shh for a minute..$
((Hunter: @Chi: You can if you want. It'll be rather fun to break it. :)
@Adra: She won't. Probably.
But seriously, this Ezter thing is getting annoying.))
#ChaseForBookNine
((*childishly* You're annoying...))
Mara: *breathes out* Right. *teleports*
*appears beside Harry*
Harry: *is inside a cell* M... Mara?
Mara: If you fucking dare say anything cocky I swear to God I will blow a hole through your fucking face. Clear?
Harry: *nods quickly*
Mara: *teleports beside him* *grabs his arm* *teleports beside the 1DHouse*
Alexis: I know believe me I've seen people in an emotional wreck. I'm going to tell you the only advice that I know, focus on now. Where are you now who are you with now. I know you are seeing and remembering try to focus on the ability to block those memories. I'm not doing it unless I have to you've blocked memories before. (Sorry she's not totally all caring Alexis is Zaf's what can I say?)
Alexis please. Hush
Alexis: *hears Adra and shuts up*
*silently thanks her*
*Sits next to her house getting her broadswords down to 1 second*
*starts cutting down the time on her Scythe from 28*
Hunter: *pops up behind Alexis* Um. I don't really think blocking memories is the way to go. You aren't yourself without your memories, and what are you gaining from life if you can't remember life? You may as well be not living. But the focus on now thing, that's cool. *pulls plastic garden chair, one of the ones that often get featured on You've Been Framed, out of his jacket and sits on it*
Ez: *appears behind him* *looks at chair* I'll pass.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head* *in Alexis' mind, because he doesn't trust his ability to speak* That'll make it worse. *realizes that he's unintentionally sent agonizing pain into her head along with that sentence, because he can't clear it from his own mind* *leaves her head immediately*
#ChaseForBook9
Is silence impossible around here?
((@Adra: I specialise in being annoying. You don't, so therefore you have no such excuse.))
((Star: *casually vaguely references to SP*))
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *cries out from the pain and as soon as he leaves her head a flicker of understanding passes through* Nic...*is at a loss for words so she just hugs him*
Niccolo... Is there anything I can do with my alchemy to help alleviate what's going on in that head of yours? Just... Nod, or something- you don't have to speak
((Star: Ooh. My Pokémon are dying all over the place. XD
*is loving my multitasking abilities here*))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: Ooh. My Pokémon are dying all over the place. XD
*is loving my multitasking abilities here*))
#ChaseForBookNine
*she does her best to not fidget in annoyance*
Hunter: You could cut his head open. *is watching Niccolò with interest*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hunter, get out if you're going to talk like that.
Alexis: *very quietly* Adra...if there's anything I'd do it. I just felt what he felt and...*trails off unsure how anyone can stand that* I'd take hearing Alastair constantly over what i felt
*shrugs slightly in response to Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
But Alexis, this isn't about how you feel.
Niccolo- would you mind if I at least tried?
((Simply for reference, Alexis, that was merely the barest hint of it.))
#ChaseForBook9
*After 3 minutes and 20 seconds she gets her Scythe to 27 seconds and sighs, bored*
I wonder where everyone is...
*she pauses* You should also eat, or at least- drink some water. I doubt that hunger would be helping you
(Alexis: good god....)
Alexis: *holds tongue* I meant it as if that was what he feels- forget it. I'm NOT like my mother
Ez: *face closed* *not saying anything*
Hunter: *rocks back on plastic garden chair* *doesn't say anything*
Ez: You don't have to do anything except endure it, okay, Niccolò? You don't have to win anything or defeat anything. And if you break, that's okay. We all fall. We'll all broken.
Hunter: Life isn't life if it all goes fine.
Ez: I can't personally say I'll help you through it, because hey, I don't know you. But you have friends here. You're not on your own.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head* *would try anything at all, really* *becomes increasingly frustrated with his inability to explain anything* *silently wishes Aretha was there, simultaneously very glad that she isn't*
#ChaseForBook9
*for once, appreciates Ez and Hunter's wise words*
Alexis: Nic I'm a Sensitiive remember you can speak to me mentally or show me or Adra if you can't find words. Just a suggestion.
*stands up and makes an ice path to see where everyone is*
((Where even are you all lol?))
*would express gratitude towards Hunter and Ez, and disagree with them, but cannot communicate either*
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm.
Alright, another day, then.
But you still ought to eat, whether you're hungry or not
Ez: You don't have to speak or function. It's okay.
Hunter: Speaking's overrated, anyway.
Ez: Not this again! But in this instance, he's correct.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Inside my lab.
I be honest, I don't know how Ez and Hunter got there- Star cheated and broke the wards rule :3))
*is not willing to attempt to mentally communicate with anyone for fear of causing them pain* *cannot communicate that either* *begins to wonder about the practicality of taking up comment space by writing this down*
((We are in a room in Adra's laboratory, Chione.))
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter: *frowns* Not necessarily. Your food could be plotting against you.
Ez: *facepalm* Not this again, either.
#ChaseForBooknine
Would you perhaps like a pad and paper? Just- anything- a drawing, words, anything so that you can communicate- because bottling it up in that head of yours isn't good for you
((To clarify- you asked me if I minded, and by shaking my head I meant that I didn't mind. However, that is a common misinterpretation, and I am unable to correct it in the roleplay anyway.))
#ChaseForBook9
*creates an ice path to the top of the lab*
*creates a screwdriver and opens the vent then slides in*
*walks to where everyone else is and slinks in, standing next to Ez and Hunter*
*nods at the offer of a pen and paper, about as enthusiastically as is possible considering the circumstances*
#ChaseForBook9
((Hunter: @Adra: We're not magic, remember? :) Our version of teleporting isn't ACTUALLY teleporting, you just moved very fast and it feels like teleporting, plus we call it teleporting, coz we're cool. And I'm not sure your wards defend against us, anyway. Ooh, that could be an interesting experiment, actually. For another time.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Oh! Apologies- I'll work on that then- scratch what I said earlier))
Alexis: And Nic I'm not going to be mad if you cause pain when communicating mentally, my magic is centered with the mind I'm used to pain every once in a while and you've done so much for my family I can handle a bit of pain. *smiles a joking tone in voice* I'm not the eleven year old you watched when the demons took over my dad. I can handle things. But its up to you what you want
*pulls one from her bag, passing them to him*
Mara: *tears trickle down her cheeks*
Harry: Hey, baby.. Please don't cry... *takes her face in his hands* Please. I'm sorry about yesterday.. I really am. I don't know what happened. I'm sorry, Mara. But you do know that I love you, right? More than words can say. You mean so much to me. I understand how upset you feel. I just can't believe... it happened again. But didn't that Eritan man say that he could find a cure? Don't worry, boo. I'm sure everything will be okay. I love you.
Mara: *chokes out* I love you too. *kisses him*
Hunter: *looks at Chione* Hello. What's your opinion on erasers?
#ChaseForBookNine
(Mara, that is adorable)
((Star: YUSSSSSSSSSSS HARRALIE IS BEING FIXED. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
Erasers are cool, especially the giant pink ones that say "for big mistakes"
Alexis: okay good paper works better. I always wondered how he writes being he is from the 1500's
((Oh, I still need to ded to that page before last.
I ded to..
I ded to internet friends. Even internet family, I'd prefer to call them.
They're way nicer than real friends. And... they've helped me through a lot. ❤️))
((*raises glass* Hear hear.))
((Star: @Chi: Oh my gosh, my sister had one of those when she was little and we used to try and rub my brother out with it. :)))
Hunter: *nods at Chione* I agree. Interesting.
#ChaseForBookNine
In English, presumably
(Hear hear!)
((@Mara: I'll hear hear to that until my eardrums burst from hearing. :) Although I'd rather they didn't. Sounds painful.))
#ChaseForbookNine
((*Star:
Hunter: *sighs at Star* You're really not good at this, are you?
Me: *glares*))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Omg Star I burst out laughing))
((Star: @Chi: C:))
#ChaseForBookNine
(Chi I could let you run into Aro, he's the Sense-Warden who can control Nic whenever my little heart desires)
*her own stomach gnaws at her from the sheer amount of energy she used in the last few days*
((That's a nice offer but nah...))
((Star: Damn, I almost forgot about that, Zaf. :O Poor Niccolò!))
#ChaseForBookNine
(I'm actually waiting for him to exucute the order from last night but then I realize he's freakin off his rocker and I'm tempted to have Aro try again and havehim kill everyone near him but then I thought that's a tad sadistic
*takes the pen and paper gratefully, and begins to write* *writes in perfectly neat english script, with especially long letters*
Blocking the memories can only make things worse, because my memories of Hell are entwined with memories of my life. Anytime I remembered something from my past, the barriers would break down, and I cannot afford to be struck constantly unawares by these kinds of emotions. *pauses, wipes away a few tears so they won't fall and smear the words, and continues* The other names are trying to take over. The further I sink into denial, the more unfeeling I become, the easier it will be for them to take power. I know not how much longer I can keep them at bay in this state, and I dare not link myself to Aretha or anyone else whilst I'm like this. Mevolent knows my name and now that there are two of me, we'll be more formidable than we were before. Would that I die now and go back to Hell and kill everyone I've already killed all over again, rather than stay here and take new lives.
#ChaseForBook9
So then we can help you not be in denial
((Hunter: He can't kill me and Ez. We'll just jump through the portal back to our time. :)
Star: Ooh. PLOT IDEA!
Hunter: DON'T BRING THEM BACK HERE! I like my house in one piece!
Ez: Well, now you know how other people feel when you blow up their buildings.
Hunter: But I BUILT my house. :(
Ez: Well, tough!
Hunter: You're ganging up on me now! Why does everyone always gang up on me?
Ez: Because you're gang-up-on-able?
Hunter: It's all Star's fault.
Me: What?
Ez: Why is that?
Hunter; *shrugs* I just decided it was.
Star; That isn't fair!
Hunter and Ez: It's not raining.
Ez; Damn, I hate it when people do that.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*looks over at the paper then returns to Hunter's side*
The names will take over no matter how strong I make myself; it is inevitable, unless I link myself to someone as I have before. Usually I can keep power for two or three days, but as of now, I don't know that I can last another hour.
#ChaseForBook9
...
I'll volunteer then, if you like..
Alexis: *reads the letter* You could link yourself to me, Nic. I'm not at risk of anything Mevolent will do to me, he believes me on his side. Plus I know the Sense-Warden in charge with your name, I could always counteract any orders Aro gives you. I mean I sound like my mother but I'm just offering.
Alexis, I could veto that for your mother.
Your mind is still growing. You are string for your age, yes- but you aren't that strong.
You killed Ghastly. How could you?
((Spoilers! Please delete that comment.))
You would feel what I feel, and I'll not allow that. In addition, I am doubtful that any link I make could survive for very long, because Mevolent is sure to manipulate me again.
#ChaseForBook9
((Spoilers! Nooooo!))
But we can't let you be unstable.
...besides, I know how to get rid of bad energy- that's part of being an alchemist- balance
Alexis: I'm not being treated like a child! Out of all of us if Nic is ordered to kill he won't kill me because Aro told him not to! I'm sick of being told no.
Hunter: @Adra: Yes.
Ez: Would it be too bad if one of the other names took over . . . ? How much *Hunter starts speaking with her* chance is there of you taking back over later?
Hunter: And you going to hell wouldn't solve anything. Unless Hell had a particularly difficult equation it couldn't do and you could, or something.
Ez: *glares at Hunter momentarily* We can think of something else. There's always a chance.
#ChaseForbookNine
I think I can be here for a few minutes. I'm sorry about last night.
#ChaseForBook9
You're fourteen years old, yes? Your brain is still developing, as is your mind. We treat you like a child because you're being childish.
Hello, Fabi!
*she hugs her*
Quite alright, we understand
Aro: *is in the Palace with Mevolent*
Mevolent: Aro what is the verdict?
Aro: I have not sent an order to the second one of him but I can if you wish.
Mevolent: Kill or capture the Bloglandians near him
Aro: And Alexis?
Mevolent: She can live. I know she'll help him
*sits in the cornor*
*stares blankly at the paper for a moment* *hand begins to shake slightly as he writes*
Mercy was my youngest sister. *takes another long pause before continuing* Ethor, Pieter, and Ysabel were my oldest sister's children.
#ChaseForBook9
[Looks at RP]
Although, considering present circumstances, it's probably best if I don't.
Bye, then!
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: *hugs Lantern* Hi! :))
((Hunter; Hello, person I haven't met. Nice to meet you. :)
Ez: *facepalms* Hey, Fabi.))
#ChaseForbookNine
((Hey/bye Fabi))
((Hello and goodbye, then, Fabienne. My apologies, again.))
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *reads* So that's who they are....Thank you for telling us.
((Bye Fabi))
Oh...
*she nods* I believe they were there... When you were in Hell. I remember hearing them.
(I dedicate this page to family, and friends. Real life and Internet. It's amazing how much we can love each other and also to Nic being back. Well at least he's alive)
Actually, that reminds me.
*she pulls out a small, blue string and ties it around Niccolò's wrist*
Just to be certain... Who is who
((Star; Fours, Fabi! :())
Hunter: @Niccolò: And nothing you can do will bring them back. But it's okay, because they're in a better place now, and . . . *hesitates* *disappears*
#ChaseForBookNine
*closes eyes tightly, wincing again* *realizes he could probably speak now if he wanted to, but prefers writing* Yes. In Hell I killed everyone I had already murdered. Ethor was the only survivor- and I thought him dead as well, for the longest time.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Nic would look good in pink.
((Star: *hugs Zaf* Hear, Hear. :)))
Ez: *sighs* *disappears after him*
((Star; Dammit. I hate it when your characters just wander off like that.
Hunter: *snaps* Well, sorry!))
#ChaseForBooknine
What is the string for?
#ChaseForBook9
*nods to where Hunter was*
I remember- I was there.
Of course... *she falls silent*
Alexis: *reads and nods* If they have relations to you he must have been powerful. I love your handwriting. Sorry I had to say I rarely see left-handed people write so neat and my mother is left-handed
*scratches out the last sentence* Ah, nevermind. I understand. It won't matter, though, once I'm given an order.
#ChaseForBook9
((Sorry, Star :/))
The string was to be absolutely certain who was who- you and your copy... Perhaps, if he were to imitate you, we would still know that you are you. I hope you don't mind.
Also-
Either I'm bringing you something to eat, or you're coming with me. It's your choice.
