Ah, 2013... I knew you well.
It was a good year for me, all things considered. A busy one, of course- but when is it ever any different? The Maleficent Seven and Last Stand of Dead Men were both released, delivering to me the most shocking revelation of all — that there's only one Skulduggery Pleasant left. Yes, technically I KNEW it was coming, but it still kinda took me by surprise to find myself writing the final book in the series.
So what else did I get up to in 2013? Let's recap, shall we?
January - dipped my toes into Twitter. Discovered Twitter to be basically quicksand, and so was unable to pull toes out. Still being dragged under.
February - I did an event at the Imagine festival in London, showing clips from movies that inspired Skulduggery. So much FUN.
March - Went to Germany. As usual, had an insane amount of fun and was kept incredibly busy for the entire time. The Maleficent Seven was unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.
Also met Steven Moffat and compared notes on how to traumatise people. (Speaking of which - The Time of the Doctor, eh? I'll miss Matt Smith, and it was so good seeing my beloved Amy back for a few seconds...)
April - was spent writing.
May - Started yapping to Ronda Rousey's mum. Which is, I think, an event worthy of an entire month.
June - this month consisted of me editing, touring, playing video games and watching movies. Not a bad way to spend a few weeks.
July - Read Geek Girl. Met Holly Smale. Holly Smale fell in love with me. It happens.
August - Last Stand of Dead Men released. Could life get any better?
September - My doggy died. This year I have had to put down my three dogs. I now have no dogs left. Ali's death sucked most of all.
October - My Doctor Who short story was released. Yay!
November - Writing for Book Nine.
December - Writing for Book Nine.
And how shall I be spending my New Year's Eve, you wonder? Will I be partying? Will I be singing? Carousing?
Nope. I'll be writing. And I'll be writing happily.
In closing, I'd like to thank all of you for your support, thank you for reading, thank you for being nice to each other, and for supporting each other. It's because of you that I am able to do the thing I love every single day.
I hope 2014 is kind to us all.
But especially me.

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4953 Newer› Newest»*slowly smiles warily, then shakes head* I'm sorry- that's a pretty generous offer, actually- but... I can't just be a summer soldier. I mean... I can't be an Elder and go off to fight every time there's a war. A government needs more stability than that. If you need me to be an Elder, that's what I'll be. But if you have someone else, someone better suited to this sort of job, then I'll just go back to doing what I used to do. As ideal as that really seems, I can't do both. But thank you for the offer.

*and say we had to stay in a hotel room. Aha.
Ew!!! Blegh, that sucks Mara!
I remember when we were moving, we drove for about 18 hours.))
*Begins to mix up another bowl, then coughs once*
*Remembers the smoke she inhaled, and begins to cook up a potion for that as well*
(When I went to Alabama we got stuck in a rainstorm so bad it took forever to get back from Dolphin Island, 3 years ago and one time i had to go to my eye doctor in New Jersey and it was raining but in NJ it was snow it was so bad the road unplowed the gas station had no gas and we went back home it was a blizzard)

#ChaseForBook9
That must really suck. Who do you fly with?
#ChaseForBook9
Woah. 18 hours? o.O
Hey! :)
You know, the only thing that really sucks about Hunter's betrayal (which isn't really a betrayal. Because honestly - he says he and Ez don't need people, because they have each other. He could do anything to anyone. He's killed friends before. He does what needs to be done, and he doesn't have any serious qualms about killing people. Well, he does in a way. He's sort of contradictory. And he cares a lot about people and would go out of his way to help strangers and risk his life for them and all sorts, but then again, in a different circumstance he'd kill them. And . . . yeah. So it's not really a betrayal, because it's totally like him to do it. I don't have to forgive him or anything like that, because there's nothing to forgive. He is who he is, and everyone has positives and negatives to them, and I love him as he is and if he were different, maybe he wouldn't have gone off and found someone else to share his life and soul with but if he was different, he wouldn't be HIM, would he? And anyway, the point is . . . Idk what the point is. I lost track. Um. *scrolls upwards* Ah. *closes brackets*) is that I have to REPLY to the damn email, and I'm not sure if I can do that.
Like I said, I'm not bearing any grudges, because you can't really be annoyed at people for having their head unwillingly invaded, can you?
I just don't quite think I can reply.
Although I'm sure I can. It all depends on how you look at it. If you adjust your mindframe . . . *nods*
*adjusts mindframe*
*starts typing*
I'm sorry. Like I said, typing my thoughts out confines and orders them. It straightens my brain so I know what I'm thinking. That's why I rant. Not to tell you what I'm thinking, but to tell myself what I'm thinking.
#ChaseForBookNine
((I don't envy all of your stranding stories... I was once stranded in a desert for four hours, but that was actually really fun. Well, I thought it was fun. I don't think the rest of my family agreed with me. ;p
On a different note, I actually used to be really interested in military strategy, and for a few years I wanted to be a strategic general. I am very glad I did not pursue that.))
#ChaseForBook9
I need you Ari. I'm sorry...Javier would do it but law prohibits because he was my spouse. *sighs* I'm sorry but you always have permission to fight. Just warn me so I don't freak. I can't go out...I'm crap with combat. Ravel worked with me a bit...but i just am crap.
(HOW DO YOU GET IN THERE THOUGH?)
*Sighs, and begins to unwrap her hands, her skin having turned red again*
*Catches sight of a bit of bone, and cries out- more of surprise than pain*
*Her stomach begins to feel queasy as the pain begins to settle in*
Oh gods... *Looks away, and submerges her hands into the paste-concoction, the liquid seeping deep into the holes*
*Bites her arm to keep from crying out as it touches her bone*
(WALKING'S A BITCH)
#ChaseForBook9
I JUST REALISED SOMETHING.
I JUST FUCKING REALISED SOMETHING.
I DID.
AND I'M SO HAPPY.
Might rant later.
But it's all straight in my head, so I don't really need to.
@Adra: :O I don't think you could even drive for eighteen hours in England straight without ending up in the sea.
We live right on the East side of the country. Liverpool is right on the West. It's only a couple of hours to get there. :P

((*hugs Star* It's alright, you can rant as much as you like:)
I might roleplay if anyone like wants to with me but idm))
(Yeah, Mara. 18 hours
And US Airways.)
(Star- I still need to write my speech... GAH.)
(I went snowboarding at the top of the highest ski resort in America
For seven hours

(ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY WALK INTO MORDOR)
(*Screams "They're talking the hobbits to Isengard" 80,000 times*)
(Yay Star!)
@Zaf and Ari: Hunter would offer to be an Elder for you, despite not being American (I don't even know what nationality he was originally, actually. It's one of the things, like his handed-ness, that I should know and I don't. I think he keeps it secret to infuriate me) and not being from this time, but I strongly advise that if he ever offers, don't take him up on that offer. It would not be good for you in the slightest. :P
(Well, in the slightest it would, because all good things come with bad things.
But, you know, you don't want the bad things.
I think.
You could do, but that wouldn't be a healthy want.)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Oh, hush. I'm fairly certain the UK can fit inside of Ohio)
That's ok, Zaf. Don't worry about it. About combat- it has nothing to do with skill level. When you're in a position of power, you have a responsibility to never knowingly endanger your life. And I don't have a family, and I don't have very many friends either, and the ones that I do have are pretty good at surviving, so none of them can be used against me. It... It works for me, really. So... I'll just keep at it. But, thank you. If it's ok with you- I have to go issue these missing reports, and then assemble a new team for tomorrow. *motions towards folders*

You too. :)

@Mara: O_O
DAMN these big countries and their bigness.
@Adra: I'm pretty sure it could too. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
((I'm glad you're excited, Star! And also glad that you're talking about Hunter!))
#ChaseForBook9
Of course, and hey...if you see or hear from Nic...tell him I'm looking for him. I'm too terrified to metally ask due to my slight fear of Alastair. I'm going to be in my chambers.
Oh, ok. What do you need him for?

*Stares at his phone*
*Grumbles, and slides back under the covers, and covers her face in a pillow*
(No problem Ari, are you getting that snowstorm too?
He said he would train with me and he vanished on me.
Adra, do you have my phone number? It suddenly occurred to me that you didn't.
#ChaseForBook9
(I do hope the snowstorm hasn't hit Cincy yet.)
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THAT TO YOU FOR MONTHS
JESUS
*covers her face* Nooooo
((Yep! It's supposed to start snowing in about half an hour.))
Oh, yeah, he does that. Never on purpose, though. Someone probably needed him for something, or he might have passed out again. Sad that that's normal... Anyway. I'll remind him.

No, we didn't Mara, because, unlike you, I have an ounce of self preservation.

*runs back down the stairs, holding three vials of the grey cloudy potion he gave to Priya*
I made waay too much of this when I made some for Priya, so here, both of you, takes some.
Now, be careful, don't take too much at one time, or your senses might get overloaded. Only have up to about half the vial at any time, and that's if you've no limbs left and you're bleeding out.

Um.
Good news or bad news first?
(Oh. Hi/bye Ed!)
...
Bad news?
(Really sorry-msd)
*pokes head into blogland*
It appears k poofed earlier. Hi.
Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.
I can't reply to this damn email, though.
D:
Although, you know, I learnt a lot from this. Number one, I learnt that essentially I am a selfish person, because if it's Hunter's story, then it's his, so why do I want it? So I can take credit. That's not good. *nods* I should work on that. However, I'm lazy.
Need to work on THAT. XD
But selfishness is more interesting. I'm too lazy to try and not be lazy. :P
What else did I learn?
Well, I probably learnt how to deal with things like this in case they ever happen again.
I also learnt my realisation, which is that NOBODY ever knows Hunter like me. I don't necessarily know him better, but I know him LIKE ME. Every person is unique. Being a person, I'm unique. I perceive things like me and no one else. No one else will see Hunter like me, because no one else IS me (presumably. I hope no one else is me. That would be freaky). Therefore . . . the Hunter I know is the Hunter I know. Lavender doesn't know my Hunter, she knows her Hunter.
She only read my short unformed story.
She didn't get Hunter from me. She got him from him.
So the Hunter I know, the way I perceive him . . . it's unique.
And in that book I was reading (brilliant book, that), when you burn this metal (long story), you look at people and see who they might have been, had they made different choices.
Lavender isn't seeing the real person (although the fact the person she's seeing isn't real doesn't make them inferior, it just means they don't exist on this layer of reality), she's seeing a different version.
And so my version is utterly unique.
Idk, knowing that helped.
And that tells me two things. One, I like to know I'm unique. I am unique; all people are unique. However, that's probably just my liking-to-be-different.
Also, it taught me something very valuable.
I have problems with writing because I can't make the writing make the scene look like it does in my head.
My mum said once (today, but I would have remembered it - it's one of those thigns that stick in my brain. It's irrelevant whether she said it today or a few weeks ago) that you had to leave the reader to fill in the blanks, and I didn't want to do that, because I wanted them to see what I was seeing. However . . . no one will ever see things like I do. And I find that horribly sad. My vision lives and dies with me. When I'm gone, it's gone.
However . . . maybe I'll find it much easier to write by remembering that.
And maybe I've just learnt how to write.
DAMN you, Hunter, I love you. :) Thanks.
Seriously.
Thanks.
And maybe Hunter did it just to teach me how to write, but that won't be because I'm his friend. Sometimes he goes out of his way to help people, sometimes he kills people because it's quicker and easier than doing it a longer way without causalities. *shrugs* I'm just a person to him. But I always was. That's fine. I am me. I'm glad I'm me. If I was more than just a person . . . that wouldn't be right or left, it would just be wrong.
So whyever he did it, it doesn't matter. :)
TBC
[continuing]
I just stood up and dried my hair (it was wet. Shower), and when I stood up, I felt exactly the same as I had before, like before the rants and the realisations, and I was like - am I just talking myself in tangles? Do I just go around and fiddle with words until it looks like I'm somewhere without getting anywhere?
And maybe I do, but maybe I do get somewhere, even if I'm inventing the places I get to. Because when I invent them, they're there, and I'm there, and idk, it's beautiful. :) Imagination is a wonderful thing.
But my point is - WHY do I feel the bloody same? Well, probably because of my mood deciding to stay the same.
We humans are emotional creatures. When I remember things, I remember the emotions of the time. I only remember things because of how I felt about them. In that book I was reading (*hears groans echo around at the mention of it AGAIN*, some people can change people's emotions. And they were changing them to make them more willing to accept their preposition. And someone asked - what's the point? When they go away, they won't be under your influence and could change their minds.
And the person replied, ah, but people remember having felt strong emotion. Having felt that strong emotion, they were more likely to remember it.
Also, and this is me speaking, not the character, they'd remember how they felt about it then, and they'd be likely to continue those feelings, because when you think of an encounter, you think of how you felt, don't you? And the event will be stained with that colour, that emotion.
We run so strongly on emotion.
Which is why I just don't know how you're meant to navigate if you can't trust them.
Then again . . . if someone suddenly got a disease or whatever, a lifelong one, that made them type/say the wrong words occasionally, had their brain jumble up, type 'believe' instead of 'beautiful', 'the' rather than 'to', 'bubble' in the place of 'better', even 'placemat' to substitute 'phone' . . . they might wonder how on earth you could trust yourself to say anything, and worry about what if you typed the wrong thing and it changed the meaning and how people would be thinking you meant this and it would go all wrong, and they would probably be ever so careful with speaking/typing, and they would be so frustrated at having to deal with this and be like HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO NAVIGATE THE WORLD WITH THIS AFFLICTION, and yet . . . I do this, type/say the wrong words something, and I've done this for years, as far as I can remember (although I have a bad memory), and it doesn't bother me much, because I'm used to it and have just learnt to live with it.
*shrugs*
I don't even know where I'm going here. I like thinking, this place helps me think, I'm apparently welcome to rant -
*shrugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Omg sorry i poofed))
Well.
The twins got kidnapped a few days ago. And there was this whole mess with a Remnant. *rubs her eyes* Um. Well. My friend's boss was the person who organised all this, and she told me that.. Ash was.. dead. So. Bad news. Heh. *laughs shakily*
(STAR
OH MY GOD
I HAVE SO MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT
DAMMIT :P
I'll get it all, mark my words.)
No... No, Mara. You can't think that. They... Thank would do that. *Hugs her tightly* No, she isn't Mara, and you have no reason to believe her. Even so... Even so, we can find a way to bring h back
*Wouldn't
*Ash
((*hugs Star* Wow. I love you and your long rants :P))
((Glad you're feeling betterish:) ))
((Adra - Ash is Ashton who is a boy aha))
*hugs her back* I don't know. Riley never lied to me before. And.. Maybe I'm just not meant to have a child? I had a miscarrage when I was pregnant with Darcy... *chews her lip* And then Ash... I don't know..
((Harralie's kids. D:
I'm not sure I told you this, Mara, because I don't think I was online at the time, or maybe I was and just ranting or something, but - YOU'RE HURTING ME WITH THIS.
STOP IT.
YOU EVIL DEMON. D:
(*could go on a bit about a thing Hunter and Ez have about demons (you know, my friend once said in exasperation that I had a thing about everything, and that eveyr time you said a word I had some sort of special meaning to it, and that definitely bleeds through into my thoughts :P), but I can't be bothered*)
And - *hugs Ari* :) :) Number one, you're awesome. Number two, practically everything is connected to him in my brain in some way. Or the story, or something.
You know, I'm treading into scary territory here, but . . . when people know people who die, they apparently just expect them to be there, and they just kind of subconsciously expect it, and they're not. And your brain just sort of automatically includes them in your thoughts, and then you remember - they're not there.
Hunter hasn't died, but every few seconds he pops back up in my thoughts again, subconsciously. *shrugs*
I imagine it's similar, but obviously not very, because Hunter's not dead and I don't mind thinking about him.
And other things.
Also - *hugs Adra* Don't feel burdened to say it. :/ But yay, in a way. :) *hugs*
Not yay-you-have-stuff-you-need-to-do, though. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
(Wait! I said him?
No
I said h
Okay
I meant him.)
Mara, you have another kid- I...*Bites her lip* I'm so sorry
((MARA.
DON'T YOU DARE MAKE ME UPSET.
*glares* *in an impressed kind of way*
No offense, but I would like to not think too deeply about poor Mara and Harralie at the moment. :P))
#ChaseForBookNine
(Think about TADRAAAAAAAA :D. :D)
And - *hugs Mara* Thank you. :) :) For saying you like them, I mean. Not the Harralie. I WOULD NEVER THANK YOU FOR THAT. D: *hugs*
Although, really, you shouldn't say things like that. If I'm encouraged, I'll never stop. If I think I'm just being annoying, then at least you'll have a brief respite occasionally. XD
#ChaseFOrBookNine
(Serious msd)
((Adra - oh okay
I thought you said
Nvm :P))
((Star - :3 MWAHAHAHAHAHHAHA))
*shakes her head* No, it's fine. Here, I'll bring you back to that Wolf place. Whatever it is. *something flickers in her eyes, but disappears quickly* *holds out her hand*
@Adra: Those are good thoughts. :)
Oh, the glorious Tadra . . .
Actually, no, that's not good. I might start crying at the beauty and how, amidst the horror of life, they found each other and they rely on each -
. . .
Gonna stop talking now so I don't get emotional. :P
I'm not really in danger of getting emotional, but if I submerge myself into it . ..
#ChaseForBookNine
SOMETHING FLICKERED IN HER EYES BUT DISAPPEARED QUICKLY. *frowns*
Is Em here, btw?
I need to tell her what a good, well-thought-out idea that facility is.
#ChaseForBookNine
(Star
OMG ily)
*Carefully takes her hand, squeezes it* Hold onto Harry, Mara. He needs you as you need him- don't isolate yourself, and don't be alone.
Don't you dare be alone
((Mara! Don't you dare just accept it because you think it's meant to be! I don't believe in fate, but even if it is fate, change it! We have magic at our disposal- we can do hypothetically anything. We know two people already who can bring back the dead. Don't let someone else take your children away! Get them back, no matter what, and we can heal whatever damage has been done to them. We can make it work. Do you know where they are? There's a good chance we could go there and get them back ourselves.
^ I would say this to Mara, but I'm not where she is. I just really wanted to write it down because darn, emotions!
Also- thank you really very much, Star, for thinking that I'm amazing.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Star - I love your rants!:) and MWAHAHA I FEEL EVILLL :3 *hugs back*
NOOO you're not annoying stop it Star :P *pokes*))
((*hugs Adra* In case you leave, bye! And safe "trip" *cough*:P))
(Mara if I disappear and don't see you drop me up, er, then
*Crawls into bed* *Curls up*)
(For reference)
(Welcome back Ari!)
(You little
Shit
Dammit Mara
Ayyyyyyyyyy listen to Ari)
*looks at her, and half-smiles* Harry would probably keep poking me until I went and watched a movie with him, anyway.
*looks away* I'll try not to, though.
*teleports*
You know in Merlin?
In one of the first episodes in the first series, Gwen is in the dungeons, about to be executed for witchcraft. And she says to Merlin "Would you do one thing for me? You don't have to do it, it's fine, it's -"
Or something like that.
And he asks.
And you think she's going to say something like "Look after my father."
And she says - "Remember me."
And I think that's when the tears came.
Because in that . . . she was showing she was scared, and she didn't want to die, she didn't want to disappear into nothing. She didn't want life to just move on, and her to just sink beneath the waves and be forgotten. It both reminded us of why it would be bad, that disappearance, and showed she was scared, and you know, we felt for her, then.
"Remember me."
And that's one of those things that hit you (I've been mentioning them a lot recently. Been looking out for them, I think), and . . . I want to remember moments like these, I think.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Thanks! I'm only back for a few minutes, actually- turns out dinner wasn't ready, but it will be very soon, so I'll have to go again when it is.))
#ChaseForBook9
I am distantly here btwwww
I'm serious, Mara. I didn't have anyone. I needed someone, and no one was there.
Don't let that happen to you
No
Wait
In fact, text me when you need to. Call me. Anytime. *Nods*
((Ari - Woah, Ari, I didn't know you were so emotional towards Harralie :P *hugs* If Mara ever bumps into you, you have the right to yell at her :3))
((Fook u adra))
Run, you clever boy, and remember me.
#ChaseForBook9
(Same with me, when we both return if Nic wants to train he can just tell me or dont and scare the crap out of me, either way I shall msd also)
(I was about to say that Ari gosh)
@Mara: You love my rants? You crazy girl. XD
Oh, wait. Not crazy. You EVIL girl. *glares because Harralie and kids*
(Seriously though, that means quite a lot. :) :) Usually, people just don't get it, and they wish I would just shut up. *hugs*
And - Little Me is amazing.)
@Ari: I think you're awesome because you are. :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I am here.
Sorry I poofed.
I...
Nevermind.
Anyway I'm here now.
Greetings, Ms. Melody.

*she plays with her hair, avoiding Adra's gaze* I... okay.
See you later, Adra. *hugs her* *salutes, then disappears*

@Mara: Thanks! :) :)
I pride in my mind being strange. XD
But I always find other people's minds interesting. The way they WORK. O_O
And - thanks. :) :) *hugs*
Like, seriously. :)
I stopped crying and now I'm like SMILING and I like have the shape of a banana on my face. :)
Oh, wait; you can get straight bananas . . .
Well, I haeva big curvy banana on my face. C:

((STAR I WAS JUST LISTENING TO LITTLE ME AND YOU SAID IT WAS AMAZING YOU MINDREADER
and yes I do love them c:
EVIL :3))
((Hey Em! Wb! *hugs*))
((I can't stop Star, because I have to keep moving forward:P))
(Hullo Em)
*Sighs, then wipes her eyes*
*Flops down in bed, her chest hurting a bit*
*Switches her pillow out with Trip's and lays down, calming down already*
*Curls up*
*Tries to fall into a sleep*
(I'm so sorry, Star !!)
Hi Em, Snow and Sir! :)
Sorry. I read comments, then focus on the interesting things (you aren't not interesting. People saying hi is uninteresting to my brain. It doesn't matter much about who the person is), and then my brain forgets everything else, including the other interesting things. *headdesk*
Although - Em, I need to tell you how awesome your facility plot thing is. :) It's a really good idea, brings something new to the table, got lots of people involved when it doesn't seem like it should have worked that way, and was amazingly detailed, with lots of scenes invented and lots of new places and characters having depthly thoughtly depths to them. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: Don't be sorry. It's good horribility. :)
@Mara: You love them? Changed my mind. You're crazy as well as evil. :)
And - Little Me is awesome. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*She sighs, and wishes Trip were back with her to calm her down*
*Hits her face* *Murmurs, falls into a sleep with slight nightmares and memories from days long, far ago*
(Aha. Bye!)

@Adra: Fours! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
@Snow: Remembrance is important. :)
*is reminded of Remembrance Day by that*
Remembrance is indeed important.
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye adra luv
Are you ok, Em? *is back*
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi!! Hi!!!
#ChaseForBook9
Your TSE chapter was great, by the way! My comment was really bland, but I think that's because I wrote it at 2 am... ;p
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Ari. [hugs] How are you?
Oh, thanks...
*hugs back* Bored. Terribly bored. Dangerously bored. I don't even know if it's actually boredom, but I keep looking for ways to entertain myself, so that's what I'm calling it. How are you?
#ChaseForBooki9
(I'm back now Ari!)
Aye Ari.
Too bad, you couldn't come to the facility lol I say you and Nicco would have great craic there.
(Coco wouldnt come out from the hut! I had a tube to chew for them Snowball stretched and yawned...it was ADROABLE)
Oops.
Me: *trying to email Lav*
Hunter and Mit: *preventing me*
Ez: *eyes on her phone* *unbothered* They're doing it to annoy you. Just ignore them.
Hunter: *looks at Ez* You are no fun.
Star: Um. *is trying to compose an email here*
Hunter: *so?*
Star: *so, shut up*
Hunter: *God, you're the one who keeps TALKING. I swear, I'm just peacefully trying to roleplay and then you're TALKING to people.
Star: Peaceful? You kidnapped Adra.
Ez: *head jerks up* You WHAT?
Hunter: *whispers angrily* STAR, SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT THAT!
Star: . . . um.
*goes back to composing email*
. . .
SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT. XD
(Hey though. Apparently Hunter's working in my head, still.
Interesting, this.)
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm okay... Lots of happy and sad. And worried. And I feel like writing or roleplaying something.... Hm.... Any particular plot I should work on?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Em, Zaf, Star [hugs]
(Heya! And Emmy!
Yeah, that would've been fun. In any case, I'm glad you're ok.
Hey, Fabi, do you feel like roleplaying, by any chance? Two of the things I have to do both involve you. If you don't, though, that's totally fine too, I'll just postpone them.
#ChaseForBook9
(Huh. Im just kida thinking
Yay! Hunter!
Hi Zaf!
#ChaseForBook9
(Hey!
Sure, Ari. Which character(s) did you have I'm mind?
(Whatcha thinking about Zaf?)
*Men in armoured gear burst into the wreck room and cuff Lorcan's hands behind his back. They inject him with something.
A man walks in behind them with his hands knotted behind his back. He looks at Lorcan as he's being escorted out. He speaks in a thick German accent*
Man: I was given the impression by the Madame that you were nothing but a gentle soul Mr. Horowitz. It appears that everyone has misjudged the beast within.
Make sure that Mr. Rodriguez gets the proper medical attention due to him.
Well, Niccolo is going to go and see about that singing in the dungeons, and I have to ask Fabi a thing.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: oi! Get off him I handled it way before you walked in, and in case you wonder Paul was bullying Lorcan and Lorcan snapped, so I'd be cuffing him. Want proof, I'm a Sensitive. *looks furious but doesnt launch a move*
@Ari: He's constantly interrupting me. *laughs* Lav's apparently getting the same treatment.
I think replying to the email was good, too. *nods*
Because, essentially, I'm selfish. But I think, in terms of share-the-awesome . . . it's awesome. *shrugs*
Plus, I learnt so much. *nods*
WHY DON'T THESE GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO YOU GUYS DAMMIT. :P
And - *hugs Lantern* Happy is good, but sad and worried are bad. Then again, your goodness outshines all of it, so . . . :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(I..oh. Okay guess I'm not looking for Nic to come...right.)
@Em: Emmmmmmm . . . :P Don't you dare do anything horrible to him. *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Okay. I can do either. Aevil and Raeza have probably switched songs by now, but they're still in the jail. Fabi's not really doing anything, but I can bring her to Blogland.))
((Hugs Star))
(And Em- just about what I want to do with my characters)
((Grahhhhh I have to vanish again now I'm so sorry
Back when I can be
Sorry))
#ChaseForBook9
Man: I have no doubt in my mind Miss that Mr.Rodriguez was at his best. But in saying that, it was Mr. Horowitz that shifted outside of the training room.
It is my department and job to secure and put the candidate on an 8 hour cool down period before he can be allowed back into the complex.
Any complaints over me doing my job, take it up with the Madame.
(Its alright Ari!)
Alexis: Oh I'll take it up with her. That is not fair he instigated....where is she? *sends Paul the evil eye* And Paul dear, mess with Lorcan, I'll kindly make sure that you will no longer classify as male
((Okay, bye Ari.))
((Wbd, and I should probably say, I'll be going to bed early and I have to wake up at 3AM to go to my flight, and I'll be gone pretty much all day. Bit of a layover in Denver, but I'll likely be exhausted.))
Man: Check her office. I am not the Madame's keeper.
Good day *he clicks his heels together and walks out*
*Paul wipes his mouth and tries to stand*
Paul: Horowitz had it coming to him. This is training camp, not dance camp.
((EMMMMMMM...! D':))
Aexis: He is 2 days into this! How can you? Have you no moral values?
(Oh Fabi, are you okay??)
@Em: :/ *concern for Lorcan*
@Lantern: :( *hugs* Good luck with your exhausting day?
Hunter decided I had a typing impediment. :)
Nobody will understand my affinity for this name of my condition unless they have listened to my friends go in about speech impediments. :P
(My friend couldn't say 'speech impediment.' We wondered why the hell the phrase 'speech impediment' was so ahrd to say some people with speech impediments, and the talked about how it was a nice thing to say (seriously, say it. Speech impediment. :)), and talked about speech impediments and people they know with them, plus imitated someone with a speech impediment trying to say they had a speech impediment.
Fun times. :)
Anyway, it's a cool link.
Although, I swear, Hunter just digs around in my memories with no permission. -_-)
#ChaseForBookNine
(I ought to mention if I'm not on tomorrow I'd assume us to have lost power unless i grumble im in school...
Paul: If he was doing this in the real world on his own, older wolves and other beings wouldn't be as kind!!
The Madame is helping us here. She is the only older wolf who gives a fuck about unstable pups like us. He should at least make the effort!
*to hard say for people with speech impediments
I'm sorry, I have a typing impediment. :P
Well, actually, it's more of communication impediment.
But typing impediment sounds better, and it's the typing that matters to Hunter, and if it doesn't matter to Hunter, it can't really matter I'M SORRY THOSE WERE HIS WORDS.
(Anyway.
Nice having him back in my head.
*hugs everyone, because I like them*
*this isn't me being happy, this is me feeling grateful and thinking how much I love you guys*)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: :( *hugs* Hope you're at home and get here.
@Em: I'm watching. It's good. Complex . . . not characters, not emotions . . . situation, possibly. Like, it's conflicted. And the people being jerks have points and they're complex people. Oh, plus it's all awesome. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*too hard to say
*facepalm* This is just pathetic. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*I wasn't saying there weren't complex characters and emotions; I was merely searching for the correct word to portray what I meant.
#ChaseForBookNine
And I think I may go to sleep now. :) It's half midnight. Yeah.
Fours! :) *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Yeah, I'm alright.))
((Night Star!))
.....
(That was always the risk with young werewolves. A werewolf's temperament is always his downfall. Elizabeth knows that and why it may seem like mayhem, she knows how to keep them safe.)
(-yoooooo
It snowed!!
Hello m'dear a!!)
*m'dears
(Hey Ads, you've missed the Lorcan action lol. Did you get home alright??)
(Apologizes we had an escaped gerbil
Alexis: It isn't the real world Paul. Look, you want to know something? People like you who taunt other wolves won't get far, believe me. If it was you how'd you feel? I'd be careful if I were you when it comes to hurting. You may make enemies you don't want.
*I ded to every single one of you sexy bastards!
You all know that this year hasn't been the best for me. But dispite all that, you've all put up with me and made yourself avaliable to me.
And its those actions that I can never say how much I'm grateful for.
I wouldn't still be here without all of you. So just believe in yourselves a bit more.
And you all deserve the best that 2014 has to offer.
So to you, my fellow Bloglandians, this page is dedicated to*
(I did- really hungry... We got bumped to first class so... Free food. But still, I could eat a horse
*Paul said nothing. He clenched his jaw tight before limping back to his room*
(*raises glass* Hear hear! Love you babe!)
*She carefully slides out of bed, having had a restless sleep*
*Rubs her eyes* Goodness.. *Glances over* And he's still not back..
Alexis: *storms off to find Elizabeth*
*Sighs, goes out into the hallway fr a little stroll*
(See my school is brainless we'll follow the one distrixt we cant be leaders we have to follow *sighs*
*paces Blogland*
((Sorry I poofed earlier... Packing. Still packing. Gah.))
((Nods))
Hayyyyy
Omg what
*Eventually makes it to the kitchens, and makes herself a salad, sitting down* *Looks at it, then begins to eat it, pulling a packet of almond and blueberry rice cakes out of her bag*
(Hello again Fabi, Mara)
BOO

MARA

Hopefully I can do the last bit on the plane.
