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.

Wb Em!

I know the feel, Fabi *hugs*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs Fabi* I understand the feeling /:

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

"Luke I am your father."

"No! This is not true!"

"Search your feelings, you know this to be true."

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

[hugs Mara, Adra and Star]

Noelle said...

Actually the quote is "No, I am your father". But someone put "Luke" in there.

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

*le sigh* okay well never mind

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

(Oh. It just happened but I missed the first words and only heard I am your father. My dad didnt realize :/

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs*
People are odd. :)

*hugs Lantern* :) :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*@Adra: Really? *laughs*

I'm not sure where the 'Really?' went . . . :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

It's a common mistake, Zaf.

I really want to hit whoever started the trend though.

Grrr. *Is an Ewok at heart*

Noelle said...

I should draw everyone in Blogland as an Ewok

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *laughs* XD
You should.

*imagines Niccolò as an Ewok* *laughs*
. . . *imagines Alastair as an Ewok* *laughs harder*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Imagine...

Lol

Imagine Sir as an Ewok.

Or

IMAGINE OSMOSIS




Imagine dragons

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

I would be like in shock if Darth Vader was my father I mean it's like a slap in the face

Oooh Episode 6 is next

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: *LAUGHS* XD

Sir would make a very good Ewok.

Oscar wouldn't. He would be all paranoid about dirt getting stuck in his fur and being hidden out of sight.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

What is an Ewok

Noelle said...

The teddy bears from Star Wars, Mara

Sir said...

...

And what makes you believe that I would be a good 'Ewok', Ms. Inkbright?

Noelle said...

Lol. Oscar can be C3PO among the rest of us ewoks :3

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: The cute little teddy bear warriors from Star Wars. :)

In the last old episode, that used to be Episode 3 and is now Episode 6. You know.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Hehehe R2D2

Uh oh this is the one I cry

Noelle said...

Because you are a teddy bear, Sir

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Oh:P

It sounds like something you use when you cook Chinese food

Star Inkbright said...

@Sir: I don't know. :) I just think it would suit you.

@Adra: Yeah. :) That would be good.
. . .
Wait. Does this mean I have to worship him? O_O

BUT I'M A BUBBLE! PEOPLE SHOULD BE WORSHIPPING /ME/!

#ChaseForBookNine

Sir said...

That would be a wok, Ms. Charm.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: *laughs* XD

I'd rather not be Chinese food. It involves getting eaten.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Oh gods....

Help.

Vader.

Aniikan.

Omg I'm gonna cry by the time its over

Noelle said...

Ay, it does, Mara. *Sadness in her eyes*

Lol Mara

I think Tadra once had a discussion if they would be Solo and Leia, or Anakin and Padme

Lol

Noelle said...

OH MY GOD SIR

Star Inkbright said...

ANAKIN. <3

(That's how spellcheck's telling me to spell it.)

Don't even get me watching Star Wars, though. The last time we watched them, I got obsessed with ranting and analysing it. I don't think I stopped going on about it for at least weeks.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

I don't know Annikan is burned, Luke's hand is cut off yeah they have lovely endings....

Uh-oh...

Sir said...

Yes, Ms. Dark?

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: They really took Padme's personality out in the last one, which was pretty much the worst thing about the entire episode, but OTHER THAN THAT you would make a good Anakin and Padme, I think.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Whch one is Padme?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I've never watched Star Wars o
My brothers are obsessed though/:

Sir - ...
oh.
I feel stupid :P

Noelle said...

I didn't realize that that was what Mara was thinking of but I'm laughing really hard rn.

Highlight of my day.

"If your ship has that many holes, perhaps you ought not put it in the harbor"

Or something

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Sassy Sir is the best omg

Noelle said...

You think?

I'll have to re-think that.

Padme? Queen Amadala (I think is how it's spelled)

Star Inkbright said...

*Plus, OTHER THAN Anakin going evil and becoming Darth Vader.

Yeah.

@Mara: STAR WARS IS AMAZING. O_O
You need to watch it. :)

@Mara: Lol, I've even never heard of a wok. XD You're not stupid.

#ChaseForBookNine

Sir said...

It is entirely understandable, Ms. Charm, as they are only one letter apart.

Ms. Dark, please.

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

Oh!

Oh gods Jabba is ugly I forgot

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: You know, Padme. *waves hand vaguely at Padme*

Um.

You know, the one Anakin likes.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Please what, Sir?

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: And do you have anything against people being ugly?

It's not Jabba's fault.

How would you like it if someone was like "Oh my gosh I just saw Zaf the other day she's so ugly I forgot."

It's not great, is it?

Not mad at you, btw. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*Amidala

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I don't like Star Wars tbh. Oops. *winces*
And Star - I think a wok is like a frying pan except it's like, a bowl thingy instead of a bowl thing idk

Wbd, watching Criminal Minds yoooo

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

*giggles* Annakin has kids with her yes?

Omg...Jabba is creepy and Solo is still actually in carbon-freeze...

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

Dinner brb

Emerald Melody said...

(Roleplay??)

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: STAR WARS IS FANTASTIC. *glares* *hugs* That's fine. :)

@Mara: Left. *nods* *can't recall a memory of it still*

Msd.

I really want a cloak now. :)

Maybe I should ask for one for my birthday.

Which is, oh, eight months away. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

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

I appear to be unable to say anything worthwhile at present, so I think I'll leave for now. Goodbye, all.

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Em! :)

I'm not at Camp Wolf, so um . . . *doesn't reply to question* *apart from this, which is technically a reply*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

About what you said, Star-

The actually might be more Anakin and Padme. Trip can be brooding sometimes :P

But at the same time, Leia is more of a fighter than Adra


I wonder who they would be in the Star Trek universe

Sir said...

Please cease bringing up such a ridiculous quotation, Ms. Dark.

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: Okay. :)

*hugs*

:/

Love you. Fours.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Sir: It's a GOOD quote. O_O

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(Sure, Em!
*hugs Star if she leaves*
*Hugs Fabi* Bye :/)

Noelle said...

(YOU SAID IT

IT'S QUOTABLE. What am I supposed to do. It is one of the best things ever.

It was you moment of modernism.)

Star Inkbright said...

I mentioned shipping today (I actually mentioned that I didn't know the ship name for Arthur and Gwen even though I knew the one for Merlin and Arthur) and my dad didn't know what it was and I had to explain. D:

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(Merthur.)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Adra

Can we please make a Sassy Sir blog and put all his sassy moments on it

Please

Star Inkbright said...

In hindsight, I should have mentioned that the ship name for Katniss and Peeta was Toast because Girl on Fire and Boy with the Bread, plus I should probably have mentioned that Osmosis was a ship name, but I didn't. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: *laughs* It might take a while to sort back through the multitude of comments.

(Not as long as you'd expect, though.

Think of it as maybe five hours per month of comments.

Probably less.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

(Or maybe not less.)

(But about that. :))

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

You can, Mara. I don't want to upset Sir more, though :)



Osmosis!

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I have to congratulate you on making that ship name. :P

I love Tadra as a ship name, though. It's really pretty. :) I was never that fond of Adrip.

Harralie is pretty, which is unsurprising because Maralie is a very pretty name. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

nah it's fine i was actually just joking :P
I wanted to see how annoyed Sir would get (;

*cough*

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at Mara sternly* Mara, you're almost as bad as Hunter.

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I thought Peeta and Katniss were Peeniss?

heheheehehehehehehe

Sir said...

...

Quite.

Star Inkbright said...

MARA! :O

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Oh sweet JESUS.

@Star-
Tadra is for this dimension. We decided that the other dimension is Adrip

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Star - oh well thank you c:
And Hunter's deadly, so yay:)))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

No seriously tho

It is Peeniss

Noelle said...

(*Growls*Hunter)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((Deadly as in cool yano))

Noelle said...

(Or Katpee)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Adra







Omg

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I KNOW. *blinks*

But people were calling it Adrip before, and only really you and Trip were calling it Tadra. And me, but I wasn't online enough to count for much.

And then you slowly converted us to Tadra.

And then used Adrip for the other dimension.

Despite what I say sometimes, I do have rather a good memory. Wellllll . . . it's fab in some aspects (memorising a page or two for assessments the night and morning before writing them) and terrible in some (remembering to do things).

#ChaseForBookNine

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

(I return.

Star Inkbright said...

Adra, Mara.

STOP.

XD

*hugs*

@Mara: Thanks. :) He appreciates the compliment.

*looks in horror at head* NO, YOU TWO, SHUT UP.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

WB, Zaf! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*looks at Hunter* DON'T YOU DARE.

EZ, STOP ENCOURAGIING HIM.

#ChaseForBookNine

Snow said...

Hello...?

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Snow! :)

"Mycroft's 6th goldfish"

OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Yeah :P Tadra does sound better

Like Flora and Adra was Fladra, but we changed it to Adrora, because it sounds better

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Hello, everyone.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I think Sir's stopped commenting because we are simply too absurd for him

At least
That is my theory

Noelle said...

(Hiya Niccolò, Ari *hugs*)

Emerald Melody said...

(Right, anyway, roleplay??)

Sir said...

Greetings, Mr. Croatoan.

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Adrora is beautiful. :) :) It sounds a bit like "aurora", which is a glorious word, and a bit like "adore", which, whilst being nice, is very fitting. :) :)

Fladra is a bit . . . flat. :/

And - Adrip is too thin and drippy. Tadra is really nice. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Snow said...

@star yep. Thats from yesterday when ember and I were talking about the sherlock ep and I was like "let me be your goldfish"

Star Inkbright said...

Hi, Niccolò! :)

@Em: Like I said, not my call. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I spy with my eye something huge and v sexy and something lots of Mixers fangirl over ever day.

JESMINDA'S BOOBS

Star Inkbright said...

@Snow: I read all the comment, every one since I arrived (apart from when I went on holiday last summer. Two weeks to catch up on. OCEANS. I gave up). I read it. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Snow said...

*hums*

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: . . . Okay.
*backs away*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(Yeah Em :D)

(Yeah, Adrip and Fladra lack a certain... Finesse.)

Snow said...

XD

*tackle hugs sir the inter-dimensional shark*

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I know what you mean. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Star, you're just jealous. *eye roll* *struts off*
*hugs* :P

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((I would roleplay with you, but I am not in an a position to do anything other than hide or murder, so I do not know that that will be possible. My apologies, Emerald.))

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

...

Quite.

Star Inkbright said...

I should probably go to sleep now . . . :(

Fours, I guess. :(

#ChaseForBookNine

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

(Heeey Nic! Oh can we continue from last night?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Sleep well, Star.))

Sir said...

Good night, Ms. Inkbright, sleep well.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((Nanite Star :) *hugs*))

Noelle said...

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Mara* :)

*NOW leaves*

Star: YEAH WELL YOU GUYS AREN'T MAKING IT EASY.

*leaves*

Hunter: *looks at Ez*

Ez: *looks at Hunter*

Them: *wait*

Star: SHUT UP.

I AM LEAVING.

I AM.

Hunter and Ez in unison: Sure you are.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

(And yeah sure Em

Noelle said...

(Ezter

I really want to know what plan B is...)

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

*paces the treehouse a bit, just a bit off from my usual self*

Emerald Melody said...

(Sorry I'm here.)

*The growling started to get louder. the silver rippled in the lake slightly. Yet the place seemed so peaceful*

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

Alexis: yeah this is creepy.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm so weird

Why do you even talk to me

Noelle said...

(Because we're all weird

together)


Really?

Growling?
*Tuts*

Snow said...

Because we are all weord mara. We all are.


Well, maybe with the exeption of shark-boy there. But he's posh. Soit counts.

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

(Nic is special I like Nic.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

i know one direction's penis sizes

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

(Mara.....

Snow said...

And now I really dont want to be here. You really know how to scare a hater off, huh mara?

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

(*hides by Nic* Shhh

Emerald Melody said...

Wolf: Why do you come here and mock me? Why do you let her do so in a strange environment little one and more importantly, what is it you both want??

Snow said...

Its so quiet

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Zaf - yeah i know

Snow - NOOOO DON'T LEAVE I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU OFF THAT'S LIKE ONE OF MY WORST NIGHTMARES i hate scaring people off i'm sorry D; *hugs* stayyy

Noelle said...

*Laughs*

I mock you because you deserve to be mocked- because you've hurt my friend. You've hurt others.

You need to stop.

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

(I think Nic vanished :(

Alexis: To...help. To see why Lorcan and you are fighting when all he wants is to better have his life

Emerald Melody said...

Wolf: I do nothing without Lorcan knowing about it. It is then up to him to accept or decline the action that is suggested.

And he fights me because of all the melodramatic nonsense his heartbroken father fed him as a child about werewolves.

Snow said...

*whispers from the shadows behind mara* hello little girl. Would you like a lollie?

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

Alexis: then prove to him you can be better. You've done a horrible job so far

Noelle said...

Lorcan was also beaten and tortured by werewolves. I would know.

His beliefs are not stemmed from just him. They can from experience as well.

But you hurt him. You must stop.

Noelle said...

(So I'm sitting here crying because at the end of this book the woman goes into labor for her child, but because her hips are too narrow, they have a Caesarean section, but the child was a stillborn, then the mother dies from a hemmorhage
And

I can't

Stop

SEEING

The scene in my head when Adra had birth.

Ahhhhsjshhsbw I want to cry

Snow said...

*hhggles adra*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

sorry reading larry proof posts
damn people you cannot deny that larry stylinson is in fact real case closed no matter what the verdict says case closed too many questions in my head case closed


*turns around*
What flavour is it?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

ADRA
*hugs*

Noelle said...

I should write that out sometime...

Man

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

(I have things to write out but nobody would read)

Snow said...

W-what... flavor?
n-no ones ever asked that before... ah.... r-raspberry?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Ew I hate raspberry *pulls a face* No thanks.
*struts away*

Snow said...

Nawwwwww. *tackle hugs mara*

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

(Well it appears I found the guy who gave me his autograph in Disney....

Snow said...

?

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

(He's an Ewok and he was in the 6th and I found him xD he was on screen.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I WILL BITE YOU
THIS DRESS IS GUCCI

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Did I ever tell you about my cousin, Adra?))

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

Mawaaaaaaaaaa!!

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

(Hey Ari! I probably should try to bring you back. Or use you to keeep the copy in check.

Noelle said...

(You might have..?)

(Hello, by the way)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hey Zaf! I'm tempted to give you input, but that would taint the roleplay... So, just do whatever you were going to do.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Going to do was hunt down that copy and talk to him and figure out how to tame War

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

BLAST

I dedicate this page to that Ewok guy that gave me his autograph. I also ded to Star Wars in general, and dynamite. And Derek.

Noelle said...

(I think it's safe to assume that Em has departed...)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

snow more like sNOw

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((I'm joking btw snow aha))

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

(I agree there Adra.

Omg never mind I'm not sure which Ewok he was from the colony

Noelle said...

*Adra stirs*
*Feels the cold table below her*

*Blinks, and turns her head over to Lorcan and Alexis*

What...?

*Shakes her head, shivering*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hi, Adra! My cousin had a pretty sad experience with childbirth... I feel like I told the story here before, but I don't really remember.))

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*pokes maras cheek* meany.

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

((You did...))

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

(You did Ari I recall reading)

*gets up* *speaks hoping the copy is around* You know, you're more useful if you're actually here.

(Can I say I feel the copy is more of an angry person in general.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hi Moss! *hugs*
Yeah, I thought so. Ok.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(I believe you have... My aunt has had a few miscarriages, but she managed to sneak one in, and, yeah, Lila Mae should be born in April, I think.
I'm excited :)

But...goodness, it's a sad thing.)

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

(( [hugs Ari] ))

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

(My mom had a few miscarriages before I popped into the world)

Noelle said...

*Head spins, feeling groggy and worn*
*Her back aches a bit*

Grief... This is stupid, this table is.

*Puts a hand over where her third eye is and concentrates*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*bites Snow's finger*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh, congratulations for your aunt!!

The copy is more like how Niccolò was at the start of the MC. Still definitely not the same, but more like he was then than how he is on his own. That's because he hasn't linked himself with anyone, so he just alternates between a zealous follower of Mevolent to fighting to keep control of himself.))

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

My aunt can't have children because when she was younger she was horseriding and fell and the horse kicked her in the stomach and yeah:/

Snow said...

Oi!! I refuse to talk to you now... *walks away*

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

(Ah. Alright it makes sense now. I'm not sure where to find him.

Noelle said...

(That's unfortunate, Mara... Still, I'm sure that, if she is dead set on a child, there are plenty of children in the world without parents.)

*Looks down at her arm and slides the IV out, then the sucker things, and falls off the side of the table*

*Hisses, getting up*
*Goes for the door*

Noelle said...

*Considers Mara's predicament, then thinks*

*Shoots a text* Hey Mars- how are you doing?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh... That's so sad, Mara...

Well, he'll be hiding out somewhere. You... Could... Think really hard?))

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Yes I'm going to think really hard...)

Niccolò....Szoren.....Cristofer....what ever name you want....could you at least come near me so I can talk? I'm fine now and my treehouse is protected

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*appears* *hisses* Shut up! Do you want War to come sauntering right on over here and kill us all?!

#ChaseForBook9

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

I can't use his true name against him. And if you want me to shut up, give me a better way to communicate to you. I'm not a mind reader I can't predict where to look for you. Look, I want to figure out how to get any name control from War and subdue him whilst he is out. And in return I can help you with the conflict in your head.

Noelle said...

*While she waits, she returns to her bedroom, and perches at the end of the bed*
*Doesnt feel that well*

Slight cold, perhaps... It was a cold night at the graves yesterday...

*Her eyes well up with tears*
*Hastily wipes them away*
Ah geez, I don't know how I'll get through this.

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

((I was going to post this rant, but I had to do three levels of encryption, and then I wondered what the point was, because you couldn't read it anyway, but I was gonna post it anyway because it's really important, but at the same time it isn't. Anyway, I accidentally deleted it and I don't want to deal with all three encryption levels again, so meh.))

Noelle said...

(I'm sorry, Fabi :( *hugs*)

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

You can't use any name against him, actually. He's sealed his. And- think about this logically, ok? At least try to? Do you think, if I knew how to subdue him, I would have let him kill me? See, I'm murderous and violent, but I'm subtle about it. I kill a few people at a time. If left to my own devices, no one could even suspect that I did it. War uses every discipline he has to the fullest- he actually wanted his name stolen, just for a chance to wield that many weapons- and he does so very openly. And before he does anything, he gathers a stock of the most powerful living things are nearby so he can kill them and absorb their energy when he needs it. That means he doesn't get tired. I could attempt to devise a plan to kill him, but I would need time. And I don't know how much longer it'll be before he realizes I'm dead.

(Yeah..)


*Tosses her phone somewhere behind her, then flips out her knife*
*Draws the cut along the inside of her palm, motionless*
*Waits, watching the blood overflow from her hand and dribble onto the floor*
*After a few minutes, heads to the sink to wash it out*

(Ah... Sorry...)

Then we need to try, Nic. You know I didn't revive you for the hell of it. Believe me. What if someone powerful was able to get in his head to give the other names a chance to get control? Also, I may sound unintelligent but forgive me, I am no expert on your names.

((Please, do not apologize. I only wish, for her sake, she could feel greater happiness.))

Noelle said...

*Wraps up her hand quickly and pulls the cloth tight*
*Doesn't know why she still does that*
*It never works*

*Paces*

*Tries the television*
*The news is reporting on the opening for a memorial for those who died in a Second World War death camp*
*A flash of a scream in her memory, cold snow, and frost bitten toes snapping off like twigs in the march*
*Shuts the television off*

*Rubs the sides of her head, and tries to open a book*
*A Tale of Two Cities*

*Throws the book across the room, hearing the smack of the guillotine as it falls across her friend's spine and neck*

*Crosses her arms*
*Her phone*
*Tries to put on some music on a radio channel*
*Country music, for some ungodly reason plays, about the lost love coming back home, and she ends the music, almost breaking her phone in half*
*Sits on the bed, bouncing a little, puts her head in her hands*

((My condolences, Moss.))

I've stolen the names of two of the best sensitives in the world in an attempt to restore some coherency to my mind. They failed miserably. War will not be dealt with so easily. We both have the same disciplines, and while he tends to be more destructive, I have the intelligence of other names in my favor. He'll not listen to his. It's possible we can work out a way to kill him. Yet I have to wonder- is it in your best interest to kill him now? I was dead for roughly a day, but I would imagine if he hasn't already, he'll be going after Mevolent and his army.

((Moss: [Casually lets my characters improv]))

Rook: [Mutters some impolite words at the car swerves to avoid a collision] Effie!

Effie: What? [Nonchalantly pulls out one of her headphones]

Rook had finally gotten her to wear headphones. Unfortunately he can still hear Phantom of the Opera clearly enough.

Rook: Could you please stop turning the light green before it actually is? You're going to get me a ticket!

Effie: What? Oh, sure. [Pulls out her mini-laptop and begins surfing the internet]

Rook: [Goes back to driving, thankful she's found something to keep her busy.]

A few minutes later...

Effie: Is the new Hobbit movie okay?

Rook: [Grips the steering wheel a bit tighter and stays silent.]

Effie: [Leans forward and pokes him] Hello? Is the new Hobbit movie alright?

Rook: I don't know. I haven't seen it. [Grits his teeth]

Effie: Well, it's either that or Catching Fire. The rest of them I haven't heard of and can't be bothered to look up.

Rook: I. Don't. Care. I'm trying to drive. Just... Be quiet.
Effie: Well, alrighty, then. [Is mercifully silent for the rest of the drive to Blogland.]

*******

Rook: [Slams the door with no extra anger added] Liz should be this way. I hope she didn't leave...

Effie: [Hops out of the car and tucks her laptop away.] I got two tickets for Catching Fire. Yeah, I invited myself along. Hope you don't mind! [Grins cheerily]

Rook: [Blinks] Sorry, what?

Effie: You told me to get you a ticket! Not very politely, I might add. You were all like 'you're going to get me a ticket,' and you didn't even say please.

Rook: [Takes a deep breath] I meant that a cop would likely pull me over and give me a ticket, the kind you get for driving erratically, if you continued to mess with the stoplights.

Effie: Oh.

...

Well, do you still want to see Catching Fire with me?

Rook: Uh, no thank you.

Effie: Well fine then.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Rook and Effie are quite amusing in combination, Moss.))

My concern is after he kills Mevolent. I need a way to stop him once he kills Mevolent, and I do not need a dead Sanctuary from him. You need time, he'll take his time I bet. I don't want to kill him simply because we'd send the other Nic where he needn't go back.
