My Year in Review

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.

*Finds a comb and begins to try her best to untangle her rat's nest*
*Tugging at her hair*
*It fails quite often*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔Yeah, I heard about that hair-messing adventure Adra INCONSPICUOUS WINK☔

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔Methinks it was more that he was cowardly than he actually wanted to see his little brother whipped.☔

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔I mean, if you think about it, he DID actually bust him out of there which, for Mycroft, is already a BIG DEAL.☔

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah. I dunno. Maybe. Cheese.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Yeah, of course. But he still didn't do anything.)


*Her stomach growls again, and resolves for just pulling it into a semi-presentable braid*
*And is very hungry*
*Cannot possibly tell if Trip's still at the room or not, but if he is, she might just go on with out him, maybe bring some food back*
*Slips from the room to go to the cafeteria*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*for reference, is not in the room*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Guessed not*

*Makes it to the cafeteria and serves herself, then sitting at a table to eat*

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔I can kind of see how that works.☔

☔Oh, and also, what exactly did Sherlock get Molly to do?☔

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

They solved mysteries.

Noelle said...

(I have no idea. We don't know which plan he actually did)

Noelle said...

(Holy SHIT it's cold outside)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔The WORST part, for me, was that Gatiss has SAID MULTIPLE TIMES that he's somehow trying to show that Mycroft is the smarter one. I feel like it was just MENTIONED however many times it was that he's smarter and there's no real evidence of that being the case. Because during the deductions game, Mycroft gets totally outwitted. Sherlock is always getting the last word. Sherlock is always doing everything better, always sees the things Mycroft has missed. Yeah, we get it, Mycroft's a cowardly lazy bum who has a bit of a superiority complex. We don't need it to be rubbed in our faces OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Start showing what you want to show already!☔

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Its cold

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔Before that, Trip.☔

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

☔This is all probably me not wanting to see Mycroft continuously being thrown under the bus, but whatever☔

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Oh okay Zaffy is gonna casually maybe write Zavel or not)

Noelle said...

(Perhaps, Ember)

*Quickly finishes her short breakfast to go take a morning walk around, and get her energy flowing etc...*

*But it's freaking COLD*

Noelle said...

(Aha. Msd for an hour.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*stands with the other living Dead Men in the other dimension* I can't shunt this many close to the Palace, we'll have to sneak around the City.

Vex: We're grateful you were able to shunt, Zaf. *glances at Saracen* Lets go.

*they walk through the City keeping to the most deserted roads*

Saracen: *quietly* Redhoods. And a Sense-Warden patrol.

Go blank. Think of nothing.

*the patrol passes by, not looking at anyone and soon are out of sight*

Lets go *they go on*

Vex: Niccolò's copy is around, yes?

Sadly. Though hopefully 6 against 1 we have a shot, if it came to it.

Ravel: Maybe the copy is busy killing, and will be away from the Palace.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: Stay alert though.

*gets closer to the Palace* Anyone objected to shadow-walking? *nobody objects* We'll go right outside the dungeons. Everyone grab me. *once everyone has Zaf she shadow-walks into the Palace*

Saracen: Redhoods. And Hyde.

Ghastly: Hyde? Isn't he...Edward Hyde from Jekyll and Hyde?

He is the Edward Hyde, Jekyll who helped me in Ireland is the real Jekyll. Its just Hyde got-

Hyde: Control. Well look at this five Dead Men and a Grand Mage, all in one place. Makes me want to call in the master.

Hyde, get out. How did you escape Blogland to begin with? Never mind.

Hyde: *has the stick and goes to hit Zaf*

*grabs the stick sending shadow knives piercing his skin* Don't try that.

*the other Dead Men all prepare to attack Hyde if he makes another move*

Hyde: *backs off* Fine. I have been outnumbered. *stalks off*

Saracen; I believe we may be fighting.

I totally agree.

Ghastly: Is he...he isn't getting reinforcements?

Saracen: If we go in the dungeon, we face Redhoods. If we stay out here, who knows.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*Bob's voice echoes through Zaf's mind* Bob: You need army killers!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Vex: If we stay we have hopes to injure a top guy.

Or get killed.

Ravel: Let's get Serpine. And when its enough we shunt. We came here to get the Sceptre.

Alright. Throne room. *shadow-walks to the throne room*

Mevolent: *very quietly controlling the anger he has* Did you thinl, Hyde, to get Redhoods before they got into the room?!

*The Redhoods approach us*

*sighs* Really? Cecil, are you too afraid to fight six of us?

Mevolent: No. I simply do not care.

*steps forward, walking closer to him*

*Hyde and the Redhoods draw weapons*

Mevolent: Stand down, let us see if she is attacking.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*hears Bob's voice echo and a faint smile appears* Got you Bob, we're going for the head honcho *speaking out loud* I'm not here to kill you. To talk actually.

Mevolent: *has his eyes on Zafira, as does everyone else* Talk? About what? You broke into the Palace, and have myself and my army in shock. And you want to talk?

Vex: *during the conversation grabs the god-killer sword*

Maybe I wish to talk, or fight.

*on the word fight the Dead Men attack the Redhoods and Hyde leaving Zafira with Mevolent*

Mevolent: *grabs her quickly robbing her of air and then allowing her to breathe*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(That wasn't what Bob meant at all...)

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

What...the Hell?! FIGHT YOU COWARD!!!

Mevolent: *drops Zafira and grabs one of the elaborate weapons off the wall*

*runs behind him and tries to get out of his hitting range sending a volley of shadows at him*

*the next thing we see is dead Redhoods and Saracen having Shudder*

Ravel: *to the others* Help Zaf, she can't take on Mevolent alone. *the others join Zaf*

Mevolent: *uses air to trap Zafira* Go and I keep her.

Ravel: We are not leaving her.

Vex: *fires a stream of energy at Mevolent while Ravel and Ghastly use fire*

*is freed when Mevolent is fending off the three and joins in the attacks with shadows and a few knives*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Yeah I know...Zaffy is kinda in panic-mode they're all fighting Mevolent himself)

*grabs Ravel and nods* Come on get to Saracen we're getting the hell out. He's going to kill us all.

Ravel: *nods and backs towards Saracen soon the other two following*

Hyde: *comes running in with Vile*

Its Lord Vile!

Vex: Zafira, shadow-walk!!

*shadow-walks outside the City*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey! How are you all?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*looks around* Sword?

Vex: check.

Saracen: We're all here.

We didn't run into the copy yet....

Ravel: He'll send that copy after us transdimensional. He won't care.

I know.

Ghastly: Can you shunt?

Probably. I think.

Saracen: Sense-Wardens!

*the entire group goes still until one Sense-Warden spots them and touches Ravel*

Ravel: *stiffens grabbing Zafira's hand*

Sense-Warden: *nods to Redhoods*

*quietly* I believe we're fighting.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Er.....What's going on? (Can I hug Ghastly?)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Good Rhy! I'm in the other dimension with 6 Dead Men)

*the Sense-Wardens attack mentally getting at Zafira who is the most unhinged mentally*

*is furious* GET OUT OF MY HEAD *attacks the Sense-Wardens for once not caring who I kill*

Shudder: someone get Zaf before she passes out.

Ravel: she'll be fine, she's harnessing the magic straight from her true name.

Vex; Ah.

*after a few minutes has leftvthe Sense-Wardens beaten, an angered look in my eyes*

Ravel: *gently takes her hand* Zafira, shunt. Go back to Blogland.

*feels everyone grabs me and shunts into Blogland*

Ravel; good job.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Well we're in Blogland now so if you want to go for it!

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

So....Are The Dead Men and Zaf back...? *teary eyed* Shudder? Ghastly?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Yes we're in Blogland)

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Ghastly...I know you don't know me...
But *wraps arms around him in a hug* Your turn next Shudder. *tears flow down Rhydians cheeks*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*let's go* Shudder I know you don't like hugs, but tough. *hugs Shudder*

Good to see you both *teary eyed*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ghastly: *looks at Rhydian a little unsure* What are you doing?

Shudder: I could ask the same thing.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*laughs* Hugging you...I know that sounds creepy. But I'm not I'm sane...mostly. I'm a hugger. I'm known for it at school. And I hug people usually coz they deserve one...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*they both exchange a look*

Ghastly: Right. Thank you.

*watches Rhydian* Hey.

Ravel: *has Zafira's hand* Hello Rhydian.

Noelle said...

(...I just got bucked??

Good for me for staying on

But first time woo)

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey Ravel...

(Hi Adra!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Hey Adra)

Ravel: Vex, go with Ghastly to Roarhaven.

Ghastly: *takes Vex to Roarhaven*

Ravel: Sorry, Rhydian. Zaf just is a bit exhausted from shunting.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Oh it's fine Ravel.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm alright. *smirks* They both know why you hugged them you know.

Ravel: *goes quiet not wanting to be part of this*

Noelle said...

(hullo, there!

Ay, yeah :) The horses don't like 20F weather... Poor thing, she was terrified)

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOSH MY BROTHER AND SISTER ARE TRYING TO TIE SOMETHING AND MY BROTHER IS TELLING HER TO MAKE A SLIPKNOT.


A SLIPKNOT.

ARGHHHHHHHHH.

*is trying hard not to freak out here*

(Actually, now I'm listening, I think they're trying to play a trick on me. I heard the phrase "so it will all come down on her head" and they're just outside my bedroom door.)

(But still.)

(I'm honoured to be a part of any trick involving slipknots. <3)

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Oh right. I thought they didn't know...*looks at Ravel* Sorry, if I was hard on you when we met. We've all done things we regret.

But...I may forgive but I'll never forget what happened.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: Believe me, they don't forget. Zafira brought them back and she also used her own name to talk Darquesse into stopping my punishment. I owe her a lot.

*looks at* I did it because I care for you

Noelle said...

(Hello Star! You have devious little siblings... GRR :3)

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Yeah, my siblings are awesome. <3 *hugs*

*like, hugs you, not hugs them*

*but I could hug them as well, I suppose*

And - my sister's the devious one. :) She reminds me of Morgana in the early Merlin episodes, put it that way. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Well...I'm not going to say that you didn't deserve it. But...As long as you know what you did was wrong and you've suffered, then I think you should have a second chance.

Star Inkbright said...

*wanders out of bedroom and peeks around*
They haven't done anything to my room. They tied a white string to the stairs (as far as I can see) - they rigged the hallway?

*shrugs*

When I went near, they could see me, so I scurried off . . . :P

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: thank you. I'm glad to be with Zafira...even if I lost a lot of what I did. I'm just glad to be alive. And I owe Zafira a lot honestly...she's on the Supreme Council.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hullo Tripster! How are you?

Good for you Ravel! Btw arranged anything for the wedding yet?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

My mum apparently sprung the trap but didn't. :P

They're saying it got stuck.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I'm fine Trip. Why you "meh"?

Noelle said...

(Oh hell my entire body's shaking
I can hardly type
Meeeeghhhhhsjjajakzggsbns FUCK IT IS COLD)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: I'm working on it actually. Probably in the next couple of weeks.

We have a date, January 24th.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Cool :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: *gently* Zaf are you sure?

I am. I am positive.

Noelle said...

*Crawls over to a fireplace and curls up on the floor*
*Sighs, rubbing her arms*
*Its apparently a bit chilly in Camp Wolf too*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Because I'm neither this nor that.

Um, put on socks?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Socks won't really help- although I am sitting under about four blankets, so..)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra. More, socks. Gloves, jumpers, coats, a hot water bottle, unleash hell!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: good. *hugs* Come on we have to go back to Roarhaven.

*hugs back* Alright lets go. *takes hand and lets Shudder and Saracen come over and teleports*

Noelle said...

(Unleashing hell is a good idea...)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(I know, I've been working on it for a while.)

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: Good. *leads them to where Ghastly and Vex are*

Ghastly: we got it in the Repository.

Good. *looks confused* why did we come here?

Ravel: briefing, that's all.

Noelle said...

(I watch Supernatural. I'm a bit of a pro)

*She shivers again, curling up closer to the fire*
Damn...

Noelle said...

*Gets up in search of a blanket or jacket or something warm*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*noise upstairs* For God's sake, I wish it'd stop.

Poetry: Sorry Rhydian. It couldn't have been left out any longer.

It was real. It became human!

Poetry: It was a reflection.

So? It's real now! What did you do?

Poetry: Reset symbol. It's slowly erasing it. Then it'll be back to normal.

What? That's like torture! You're slowly destroying it!!!

Poetry: Like I said...it had to be done

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I want to go home, Ravel. I shouldn't have used the magic I did against the Sense-Wardens.

Ghastly: We'll be okay *they go to figure out where to go*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Poetry: Rhydian please don't try and make me the baddie here. You could go up there and save it. But you stand here, arguing. So you're just as bad if not worse than me...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Fine. OK. I'll save it *runs upstairs* *goes into room* *reflection is knocking on glass on its knees helpless and weak*

Reflection: Save me...please

Er...*examines mirror* I don't know what to do. *sees symbol* *tries rubbing it off* Must be permanent or something? I don't know how to help you...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Reflection: *is finding it harder to breathe and think* No...She...she did this...she's killed me

*goes on knees and rests head on glass as does the reflection* I'm so sorry...I can't help you

Poetry: Sorry Rhydian. It has to be done.

Reasons for what? Cruelty?

What? I want to save you!

Reflection: It's your fault. Because of you! It's all your fault! *becomes a reflection again*

*turns to Poetry* Get out.

Poetry: What? I'm sorry?

Get out. Get out of my house. NOW!

Poetry: Ok. Fine. Sorry for upsetting you.

I don't care...get out.

Poetry: What's wrong? It was just a reflection

I lie to people. I shut out the world and cut myself off from society too easily. With the reflection I didn't need to pretend. I could open up for once. Now it's gone.

Poetry: *leaves*

Noelle said...

(Right he killed people and such. But still...)

Ravel: fine...*kisses cheek* *hours pass*

Ravel: *laughs* stop you got Christopher

Alright. *puts robes on*

Noelle said...

Yeah, I know it's a bit of a secret- I'm only finding it out now, so...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*picks up the baby crawling* Heeey

Olivia: *crying*

*goes over to Olivia*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah... sorry about that. I just, well forgot you didn't have mine, because I had yours.

Star Inkbright said...

I've been doing this for about six hours.

*blinks, trying to focus brain on reality*

This has rapidly turned into obsession.

Never fear, though. I should be done before long . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(I'd like to see it when you're finished, Star!)

Ah, I see. Wait- why are you calling me anyway? *Beat of silence*

What did you do this time?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, I was just in Lizzy's office, and I wondered if you'd like to join me. It's bloody warm in here.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TADRA HAVE EACH OTHER'S NUMBERS!!!! :)

*dances*

@Adra: *laughs* :) It's not like a normal thing. And not very interesting. :)

Plus, I'm unsure how to show people it.

But that's okay.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

In her office?

She might walk in?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

(*hugs Star*)

Noelle said...

(Still though, Star, whatever it is, I'm sure it's wonderful :3

And I know

Seven (?) months later?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, it seems to be the only place with central heating, so it's your call really.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah I'll be the in a second..
*Clicks her phone off and gathers herself in a duvet, nearly falling with her hot chocolate and madly dashes for the central heat*
*All but falls in and hits the floor after setting her chocolate down*

It was so colddddd

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Of course it is, I'm making it.
(Thanks. :) *hugs*)

*hugs Maraness* :) :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I know! *goes and helps her up* It's as if it's another one of her training things, that wolves don't like the cold!

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: Momma...*clings to*

Shhh baby....shhh *kisses head*

Olivia: *terrified*

Ravel: *takes Christopher*

Noelle said...

That might be it... *Pulls her duvet up as well* It's still like the ninth circle of hell in here

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I thought the ninth circle was cold.

Or was that the seventh?

I never read Dante's Inferno.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

It is cold.

But so am I

It takes a few minutes to warm up, dear.

Ay, let me tell you, Eritan knew Dante. He's worth the read

Star Inkbright said...

I love my siblings. :)

I'm so glad they're my siblings.

*long-distance hugs my siblings*

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*gives Adra a nice warm hug*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Leans against him* Want a bit of the blanket?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

That would be lovely dear.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Moves the blanket a bit, so he's wrapped in the cocoon as well* *Sighs* I do hope they fix this basted heat soon, though...

Star Inkbright said...

My family are bigs fans of blankets . . .

Blankets. <3

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah... Heh, we're like penguins, huddling for warmth.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*finally soothes Olivia and gets up going into my own room*

Ravel: Zaf?

I'm okay.

Noelle said...

(I got a lovely blanket yesterday from Christmas pt.3? With my family in Cincy. It's warm. Blankets are the bomb.)
*Laughs*. Bit like that, yeah. I think you're a bit more attractive than a penguin, though

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Actually, bombs are the bomb. Blankets are the blanket!)

Really? Penguins have that really detached allure though..?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Thank you Webster.)

I don't think penguins are purple, though.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Now that, is something I have over a penguin.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah.

How did you get it that color again?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, overuse of my soul changed the colour of the natural pigment in my hair.

I could go into more detail, if you like.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah... Why purple and- what was your color beforehand?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

It was jet black. I've never decided which I prefer.

And you know, my soul is purple.

It'll happen to all of them eventually, the eyes, too.

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

( hello everyone)

Noelle said...

My, my. Your hair was black as well? Fancy that...

Yeah, purple's a bit your color. It fits you, though... So, *Shrugs*

(Em
Trip
It's Em)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(Oh God.)

*raises an eyebrow*

Oh.

Hello.

Noelle said...

Yeah as well- but

*Jumps*

Madame Elizabeth!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I ded to fun times! *has fun. What? What you were expecting better? Well sometimes, I run out of ideas. SOMETIMES.

I'm sorry, sometimes I lose my temper.*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(....hear hear, I think?)

Noelle said...

(Ermeh?
I hope your internet isn't being stupid :P
Or your phone, I guess.)

*She carefully moves away to grab her hot chocolate then nestles in by Trip again*
*The cocoon*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

This is a good set up we've got here. Especially with that hot chocolate. Just don't spill it.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I'm just bored and not really bothering to comment...no point to anymore)

Noelle said...

It's like our own heating system.

And I won't spill it, don't worry. *Sips the hot chocolate*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah, this whole place could do with a giant mug of hot chocolate and a duvet.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Em /is/ here, you know. And Lexi is still with Lorcan, yeah? Just start off there- that's what I do... Interact with someone- shows interest in an RP- and they usually jump in. Especially if they're like, unconscious, as Lorcan is.)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*Zafira hears a strange sort of thudding noise against her door*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

It seems so..

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*slowly goes to the door and opens it* Hello?

Noelle said...

(Or that..)

Emerald Melody said...

*Elizabeth walks in, not noticing the other two at all. She pauses to gather her breath before trying to make her way to her desk. Her computer starts beeping that an email has come in.*

(She doesn't notice you two, so you can either hide somewhere or lol)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*is standing outside the door* *grins, and tosses her a severed arm* My copy took one of yours before. Now you can have his.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(That was my exact reaction Adra. I was like oh okay Lexi likes watching Lorcan and I'm like...or strange noises from Nic )

Noelle said...

*Carefully hides behind a shelf*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*hides behind a potted plant*

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*stares in legit shock trying to comprehend the arm and Nic* You...killed...the copy? *looks at the severed arm* O my god....*hugs Nic tightly* We just were there...me Ravel and the other Dead Men....I thiught you were him...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((I'm out of names... Change of plans, I suppose.))

((Sorry, just thought I should comment something.))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*shoves her back with air, scowling* Of course I'm not him. I'm not me, either, anymore. *smirks* I'm the name not even Alastair wanted out. You needed an army killer, yes? Well, here I am.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Okay, Fabi? :/))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Hello, Moss.))

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*looks at Nic* What's your name? I'm debating if I rather Alastair out right now.

Emerald Melody said...

*Elizabeth slowly sits down and grimaces. She opens the email and looks over it carefully, including the pictures attached to it. She frowns. She then dials a number on the office phone and Lara picks up*

Elizabeth: Lara, whats the status on Lorcan?

Lara: He's starting to stir, he's been getting plenty of fluids. We started him on paracetamol and we'll be trying him on solids in another hour or two. Is something wrong Elizabeth?

Elizabeth: We're gonna have to prep him for a intrusion procedure. I think there is something wrong with his wolf and it's affecting his human personality.

Lara: How soon?

Elizabeth: Give me a few hours to dose up myself. Then we can get him prepped and we can start.

Lara: Okay, see you soon Liz.

*Elizabeth ends the call and leans back in the chair, letting out a big sigh*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*frowns, and stays silent, alert for any information*

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *is with Lorcan refusing to leave his side*

Noelle said...

*She frowns, not liking what Madame is implying*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I don't care what you'd rather. I could kill you where you stood if I wanted. I'm leaving you alive because I haven't had fun in years, but you are in no position to threaten me. I came to ask you for a few of your Sanctuary pets to bring with me- any that you don't need back. If you refuse, I'll take them myself.

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*Jar starts to walk in, he bows*

Jar: Is everything alright Madame?

Elizabeth: I'm worried about Lorcan. It seems that its not just him fighting his wolf. I think his wolf might be demented.

Jar: Oh my goodness... What would suggest such that Madame?

*Elizabeth shows him the picture on the computer. It was a picture from secruity cameras in the wreck room of Lorcan in wolf form*

Elizabeth: Do you see at his ears? It's the silver inside him, it's dripping out. If there was nothing wrong with his wolf, then there wouldn't be any harsh movement from the wolf, actually it would take a lot more effort for him to shift.

But he shifted so quickly in the wreck room and suddenly his silver is disturbed. Only a demented wolf could overcome silver like this.

Jar: So what do you suggest as your plan of action Madame.

Elizabeth: An intrusion procedure. Its the only way to get into his inner psyche and do something about his wolf, before it ends up killing Lorcan.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

(See zaf? Army killers! Some more crazy than others... but all together, a force to be reconned (:P) with.)

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Unfortunatly, I need my people back. Ravel and I will come with you. And believe me, we will make it back. And I ask again, what is your name?

Noelle said...

(Yeah... Be careful what you wish for)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*frowns*
