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.

Evening all :)

This year for me has been... interesting.
I started off the year pretty low, and then crashed further, until I became scarily low.
But then you guys happened. You wonderful, beautiful, shining, unimaginable people who completely saved me.
So yes, this year started shit. But it's turned into something amazing over the course of just a few months.
And I just wanted to say thank you. (I'm probably going to reiterate what I said in that massive ded I did a while back)

Thank you Derek Landy for writing brilliant books that led me here.
Thank you every single one of you here, on this blog. Yes, we might fight at times, but we're a family and that's what a family does. It yells and shouts and screams until the cows come home. But, regardless, we love each other - right down to our bones.
And thank you Luciana Scáth for starting this all off and bring me here so that I could meet all these amazing people.

So here is to another year of us, of this :)

Happy New Year everyone, I love you all :)

*Stops calling ghostbusters* Are you sure Aretha?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm so happy that we made you happy, Flora! *hugs* It's been an honor to speak with you!

Happy new year Flora

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

Its epic!

You see once you pick your first school you're ok and Storm students have epic attacks and powrrful but less health, Myth students learn spells with summoning mythical creatures and are okay some like Medusa are better but thats Myth school as your main only, Death students can be powerful too they have many spells that kkill and then heal themselves and can have a decent attack rate and decent amount of health, Life they heal mostly but have some attacks they have second highest ealth, Ice is weak attacks but good health the highest though attacls get better by the level Fire is decent both ways you have good health and good spells I like Efreet best, and then last is Balance which is hardest no prisms to convert if yo go against a balance boss its hard not many take it

Later in Celestia you can learn Star Moon or Sun magic and Star boosts your attacks and criticals Sun does that too but just to one spell and Moon allows you to transform to anoter school for a few rounds and is extremely helpful

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*nods to Edward* Definitely sure. The iron would have burned her if she was. But you should call the Ghostbusters anyway! We can invite them for Pizza.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

True, Aretha...

Oh my goodness want to ride off into the sunset after talking about our feelings on the hood of the Impala??


(*hugs Flora* I'm so glad that we were able to help you, babe :) Ily)

Edward Fletcher said...

Okey dokey *Finishes calllig ghostbusters*

Noelle said...

And... Still, a bit confusing, Zaf. Goodness..

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh my goodness yes!! *leaps onto the hood of the Impala*

Hear hear,

[Is totally lost]

Why are you throwing candy at me? Why did you think I was a ghost?

How could you betray me like this?!

[hugs Flora] Glad we could help. And Lucy is amazing. Happy new year!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I understood most of that, Zaf. I played a bit of Wizard 101 a few years ago, but I never really got anywhere with it. I ran out of quests to do, because I was't a member. And then I got bored and stopped playing. It sounds like it gets a lot cooler as it goes on, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Gruff Batman voice* Aretha... There isn't anything I would ever, past or present, put before you...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*earnest Sam voice* I wanted to trust you, Moss, but I had to make sure, for the good of everyone.

You know I'd go to Hell and back for you, Adra. I feel like my whole life, I've been chasing after so many different things, when all I really needed was you. I don't need money or fame as long as I have you to count on.l

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

Oh gods....

*bro hugs back* I love you too, sister. *takes emotional breath*
*draws laptop from thin air that has magical wifi powers* Hey, look, I found this weird murder in Kentucky. The guy's throat was torn open- I'm thinking vamps.

@Mara: omg that is brilliant :P

Edward, yes? ^^

Noelle said...

(Hello, Dragona!

Ari- out of curiosity though, what did Niccolo think? :P)

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello

Noelle said...

(Flora- I'll do AU us)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*eyes widen in horror* No, not the fangirls... Sister, I know you like to be tough, but we need to be really careful with this one. It seems the only way to kill them is for us to die... Or fall in love. They hyperventilate and have heart attacks. Otherwise... They're practically invincible.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Walkin around*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((...I'll tell him to leave a comment. Or maybe I'll just have him come here so you can ask him, because I don't think he'll be overly descriptive...))

I like talking to Nic! Sorry for vanishing Mlom wanted to hold Snowball and he didnt until I picked him up

Noelle said...

(Alright :P

Hey Rhy!)

Dragona Pine said...

If there are any rp's can someone please explain what's going on?

Dragona Pine said...

Adra, do you know when you were mentioning Leviathans and Purgatory?
Mass Effect references :P

Luciana said...

Everyone appears to be doing those thank you things because it’s the end of the year…
Hm…
So, this year has been a rollercoaster ride for me, to say the least. Ups and downs. Good and bad. Positives and negatives. You get the picture.
Anyway, when I was at my lowest of low, I always knew that you guys would be here for me, and not once have you failed me and left me all alone. You’ve been your usual perfect selves. But I don’t want to dwell on what was bad (even though you guys brought light into it <3).
The first time I met Derek Landy was this year, at an event in Leeds. I also met three wonderful Bloglandians there, who I will never cease to love. Flora met me by the door (and we saw Landy, wooooo!) and then we managed to find Star and Mel too (I’d already found Ellikins on the second floor c:). My point in bringing this up is, that day was probably the best day of my life. I met some wonderful people who will never leave my heart, and I wanted to say thank you to all of you for being here and being you, because without all of you I doubt things would have worked out the same. Especially you, Flora, Star and Mel. <3
Then there was Manchester. Rhydian found me there! (I love you man) and Derek wore my Skullified hat. Which was ace.
But over the year, I have found who my real friends are and who I love most of all. I’d like to say I wasn’t surprised it was all of you guys, but I was for some reason. Half of the time, I’m convinced that you all hate me. But then I’ll get a random message – like I did earlier today – from one of you saying thank you, and I’ll just sit and cry because you guys cannot get much more perfect even if you try.
Thank you for supporting me with my becoming an author too – Star even has a signed copy and she got so excited about it, it really made my year special.
Thank you for supporting me in general.
Thank you for an amazing year. Next year will be extra special, especially in August because I will hug each and every one of you who I see. Especially Maralie. Because she’s beautiful and I love her, because she’s my little sister.
May next year bring happiness and excitement for us all!

Luciana said...

Adra you'll probably get some stupidly long paragraph later on because I have so much to say about you.

Or you might not.

For now, we'll just leave it at this:

Stickers.

Purgatory.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Emerald

Noelle said...

(Leviathan are all over, and have been for thousands of years, Dragona :P Crossover)

*Huggles Luce* Ilysm. Even though we hated each other for a while. And now we don't :P

*Cuddles tighter*
And don't say THOSE WORDS TO ME

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Luce! You're welcome! Thank you too :) *hugsies*

Noelle said...

*Adra runs into a wall* Ah. Yes?

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

(Hey Em...I'll leave you to Adra)

Dragona Pine said...

Leviathans are ancient and pretty much extinct. They created the Reapers to conserve knowledge, but the Reapers rose against them and only a few remain, and like... no one knows about them because it was millions and millions and millions and millions of years ago.

Purgatory is a maximum security prison ship.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hey Em!

This year HAS been the best year EVER!!!!!!!

I got into a school were I'm happy, meeting y'all :) and writing! And accepting who I really am. I'll never forget 2013 :P

Emerald Melody said...

(You're part of the roleplay too Zaf, just Adra is in the corridor at the minute. Just give me a few minutes to warm up.)

Elizabeth: Good, good.
There was something I was meaning to ask yesterday. See in all my years of running the facility, I've never had the chance of seeing what an alchemist can do for us here.

So I was wondering, if perhaps you would like to come work for me and be part of the medical staff?

Can I do anything in the RP? What's happening in the RP?

Today was my first driving lesson. Considering I've never driven a car before, and stalling the car twice was my only serious mistake, I'm pretty happy. :)

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

*hangs from tree havig finished work early* There is a castle on a cloud, I like to go there in my sleep, aren't any floors for me to sweep, not in my castle on a cloud. There is a room thats full of toys, there are a hundred boys and girls, nobody shouts or talks too loud, not in my castle on a cloud. There is a lady all in white, she holds me and sings a lulaby, she's nice to see and she's soft to touch, she says, Cosette I love you very much, *stops singing as I fall*

Noelle said...

I'm.... I'm sorry?

Er, it would be an honor to work for you Madame, but... *Smiles* I have plenty of things to do at my home.

I've driven a car....I'm only fourteen. I know. Odd. But there's this thing were ya can Learn tp drive if your 11 or over. It's awesome

Dragona- We are in a secret facility that is working on enhancing werewolf abilities and helping them, I think.

Dragona Pine said...

*grabs sniper rifle and turns invisible*

Noelle said...

*Is crying so hard at that comment*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Congratulations, Adra, on creating a story many of you doubtlessly find amusing.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for myself. Still, I am glad for whatever makes the rest of you happy.

Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters is no better than the first one.

So its a terrible film then?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Luci, Fabi, Adra and Star, if you're all here, I emailed you :)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I, personally, thought the movies were fine on their own, and the first one was actually pretty funny. But only when I'm not comparing them to the books. In comparison to the books, I think they are awful and deficient.

Is Mevolent still running around?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Possibly though we haven't seen much of him. He has Liv....

Edward Fletcher said...

I just didnt think it stayed true to the book, that is why I did'nt like them.

Dragona Pine said...

(Yes, Edward. It has a completely random plot (if it can be called a plot) and it makes absolutely no sense. The first one was just "Check this out" all the time. They fixed the script issue, but then there's character inconsistencies, plot inconsistencies, general inconsistencies, just random things which aren't at all explained which is irritating... really powerful creatures which are defeated so easy...)

Noelle said...

I can't believe Annabeth wasn't blonde....

*Adra sighs, curtsies to the Madame, and begins to make her way back to her room, feeling twitchy again*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

...You know, in my dream last night, someone wrote me a note- a non-Blogland friend- and he used my taken name.

#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

Sea of Monsters is slightly better.

Annabeth has blue-grey eyes and blonde hair, so that's definitely an improvement.

ALSO NATHAN FILLION GOOD GODS I LOVE HIM

Noelle said...

In a dream I had last night, I was sent off to war, and I didn't want to go, but I had to anyway.
It went downhill from there, I've got quite a vivid imagination. Either that or some past life of mine was there. *Shrug*

Edward Fletcher said...

I have only seen the first film.

Dragona Pine said...

(An improvement, but in comparison to the first film... INCONSISTENCIES)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

In my dream, I started out as a wolf, but I was also a human, and later I became a lion. And all my friends and I had magic. I'm pretty sure the wolf thing was because Em's plots invaded my dreams. :)

#ChaseForBook9

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

I dreamed about going to Florida and seeing Ari for some reason....but then Nic freakin appeared and Alastair came out and killed Ari and then I was trapped in his mind and woke up shaking and heard the screams of names

Dragona Pine said...

OH. And not to mention a plot which is like the most predictable thing ever. Throughout the film, from the word go, I literally recited the entire plot and it happened within two minutes exactly as I said.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*is roleplaying now, will respond to other people in parenthesis*

Wait, Zaf, did you just say he has Liv?

#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

OH MY GOLDEN GOD MARA I AM ALMOST CRYING THAT IS BEAUTIFUL WHY ARE YOU NOT A PROFESSIONAL SINGER SERIOUSLY HOLY CRAP

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Yep- it was definitely predictable. And the only thing monster-y about the sea of monsters was one single monster, which only took them, like, two minutes to defeat.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yes! He has Liv copy Nic took her and yeah...I haven't seem her sense Alexis tried a scan but transdimensional is hard to do....

Dragona Pine said...

(Also, no wonder Pierce Brosnan decided he didn't want to be in the film.)

Luciana said...

mARA i AM GOING TO KILL YOU OH MY GOD

Edward Fletcher said...

(I just think that they should stick to the plot in the book)

Dragona Pine said...

(I think they should stop with the Percy Jackson films.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

And you haven't gone after her? Not even filed a missing report? *takes a breath* Ok, sorry about that. Let's assemble a small team of people to retrieve her. Niccolò can shunt us over, and then he'll hide and wait for us to return to our starting point to shunt us back.

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

*appears next to Aretha*

I can help, somewhat. I have a sniper rifle and can turn invisible and can hack into things and throw grenades. I have to be useful somehow.

Dragona Pine said...

Wtf... I pressed it once.

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

Alright. We should keep it small maybe just you and me and maybe Nic can hide as a spider in your pocket or a rat if he doesnt mind we dont know Liv's condition

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*nods to Dragona* Thanks.

We should probably take at least one person with us, but it looks like Dragona can do that, so we should be set. I wouldn't take him anywhere, because a sense warden might sense his mind near ours and use him against us. It's happened before... But we can just go in, grab her, and get out. Simple enough.

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

(Em?)

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

Alright. And I can shunt too if you like.

Noelle said...

I don't believe Em is here anymore.

Edward Fletcher said...

Ok

Dragona Pine said...

Do you know what there'll be in there?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((It looks like Em may have vanished...))

Oh. ok. Maybe you should shunt us, then, if you don't mind?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Slips back into her room, sitting on the edge of her bed and kicks her boots off*

*To herself* Right... I don't think I've done this in years. I don't believe that I'm about to do this, either... Hell, I must be desperate
*Gets down on her knees, folds her hands, and a rather rubbish prayer comes to mind*

Dragona Pine said...

(HA! I KNEW I recognised the voice!

In Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, there's a creepy thing who tells him a prophecy. She did a Quarian from Mass Effect :D)

Edward Fletcher said...

*Drowns 2013 in bar*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*runs from Luci* D:

Dragona Pine said...

(In Mass Effect 2 it was Admiral Shala'Raan vas Tonbay. I knew I knew the voice from somewhere...)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

A few guards, probably. The dungeons are pretty expansive, and the guards move around, so if we're lucky we won't meet with any resistance. If you see a guard and it runs, don't chase it. I learned that the hard way. Just kill it if you can, or leave as quickly as possible if you can't. If we're unlucky, we'll meet up with a more powerful mage- possibly one of Mevolent's generals, or someone like Hyde or Niccolò's copy.

Noelle said...

*She slowly speaks, closes her eyes*

Right... I haven't done this for a few centuries, so please bear with me here, if I'm a bit rocky...

So, I don't know if you've heard, but I've been having a difficult time lately, and I don't think that it's going to stop for quite a while. Well. When I say "difficult", I mean "more so than usual". I just... Everything that I have done is coming to a close, and I feel like I'm going to be crushed.
*Voice cracks*
I just need a little help. A little support. I don't think I'll be getting some anytime soon, so... I guess... You're the last one who can help me. But if you can't, then I suppose I'm just a lost cause, aren't I?

*All at once, her emotions collapse within herself and she has a brief moment of hysterical sobbing before she shoves it away*

I apologize for that, I didn't know that was coming. But, just... Please, I need someone who can help, or some wisdom of something that can help me...

*She falls silent for a long, long time*




Thank you.
*Unfolds her hands, and gets to her feet, one of her knees popping* *Wipes her cheeks and begins to pace*

((Is it alright if I bring in Aevil, Raeza or J.A.? All three of them should still be in the dungeons. Unless I missed something, which. Is extremely possible.))

((I don't really have any plans for them, I just miss role playing with other people))

Noelle said...

(That's amazing, Fabi! *huggles*)

Edward Fletcher said...

*Walks into lab with collected watch and begins examining the formulae*

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

*looks around* okay guys If Lexi was correct this is where the generals sleep but its empty in daytime. *leads through* Hyde wanders about near the dungeons so be careful he'll have that stick

Dragona Pine said...

*raises sniper rifle*

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

(( [hugs back] ))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

STOP IT LUCI NO LIES I WILL DRAG OUT THE VACUUM CLEANER I S2G

Ari - yeah of course :) *huggles*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Of course, Fabi!))

Niccolò: *speaks softly just outside Adra's room* I was a Christian Priest, you know, a few hundred years ago. Praying never did me any good. May I recommend- if you require assistance- asking a friend?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*hugs Fabi* Yay! :D

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh, ok good! *hugs back*))

Edward Fletcher said...

Mixes it with other chemicals then places it in machine which mixes them*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*nods* Try not to make any loud noises- the dungeons tend to have an echo.

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

*turns invisible*

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

*gets to the entrance*

Hyde: *sees* You. What do you want?

Go. Or I use your serum

Luciana said...

WHY HAVE YOU EVEN GOT A VACUUM CLEANER MAN

AND I WILL KILL YOU MAN YOU MADE ME CRYYYYYY *tacklehugs Mara*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Places final formulae into watch and leaves for accomodation corridor*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*whispers* Zaf, don't tell him to go! He'll bring reinforcements! We need to take him out here!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Suddenly laughs* You, a priest? *Walks to the door and opens* *Half smiles* Friends can be rubbish sometimes. The majority of my friends aren't even old enough to have experienced what I have, or simply just weren't there.

Dragona Pine said...

*whispers in Aretha's ear*

Give the word and I'll take him out.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Listens to Niccolo from top of corridor*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Niccolò: I can't say I've experienced what you have, but I daresay I can fill an age requirement. What is it, exactly, that you've so struggled with?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Hyde: Listen to Aretha.

*takes knife out* *quietly to Ari* He'll be easy to take down believe me. You can talk down.

Hyde: *takes stick and aims for Zaf*

Jekyll take control! You're not Hyde!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*nods to Dragona* *quietly* Do it. But try not to kill him.

*darts forwards, past the stick, traps his stick arm against her body, and then pushes away with a kick, sending him back and pulling the stick with her*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Shrugs in agreement at the age comment*

Ironically, I don't believe I've ever properly dealt with some... Things, and I believe that it's resurfaced, and that I really ought to just get it over with...

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

Hyde: gaaah! *tries to stop her but is trembling*

Jekyll: I'm me I'm Jekyll!!!

Dragona Pine said...

*sneaks behind Hyde and gets him in a sleeper hold*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, Dragona, don't do anything!

*glares* If you're Jeckyll, let us tie you up properly, and we can take you back with us.

#ChaseForBook9

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

Jekyll: Do as you wish. I am not going to stop you. *holds hands up*

Dragona take him.

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

Aevil: [In her cell] Raeza, do that basic beatbox I taught you.

Raeza: .. .why?

Aevil: Because I'm bored.

Raeza: [Sighs] [Doesn't want to deal with her mum being grumpy] Fine. [Beatboxes]

Aevil: [Sings Roar]

...

((This is what my characters did when I got them out. Perhaps I'd better not.))

Dragona Pine said...

Take him out, or just take him?

Noelle said...

(That's funny, Fabi! Actually, when I meat you, I'll teach you how to beatbox)
(Kinda)

Knock him out for good measure, then tie him up, and we'll bring him with us when we leave. *smiles* Thanks.

Can we move on now?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Niccolò: Might I ask, in greater detail, what exactly is troubling you?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Jekyll: Olivia is the first cell when you walk in, though do as you wish.

*nods and goes down into the dungeons*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Walks up to room and continues to listen*

Dragona Pine said...

*hits Jekyll in the back of the head with his sniper, then secures his wrists and ankles*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Um, regarding the praying thing- I'm technically Catholic (I disagree with a few things, but agree with most of it), and I pray. Niccolò has had over 500 years to break his faith. He's pretty sure that if there is a God, he's either too busy or doesn't care about us humans, so He is not to be relied on. But that's just Niccolò, and he does not wish to offend anyone, so here's a disclaimer on his part.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

Jekyll: *out cold*

Dragona Pine said...

*follows them down to the dungeons, still being invisible*

Noelle said...

Well, it's all a tad bit connected into one big life story of mine, and, er, it might take a while to get through, which, I'm sure you probably don't, um, have the time for...

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

(I agree with some teachings and others I do not but it is cool Nic was a priest)

Noelle said...

(Aye- I grew up Methodist, but I think Catholicism is a very lovely denomination of Christianity- I like the reverence of it especially, in comparison to some Protestant denominations... I'm not quite sure what I believe, but it definitely isn't fully Christian. I am, however, very intrigued by other faiths and religions.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*enters the dungeons with Dragona* *looks for Alexis* *hears beatboxing in the distance* *Whispers* Anybody else hear that?

Niccolò: On the contrary, I have all the time in the world. I could freeze it, if I so desired.

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm an atheist. Cannot be convinced by any religion at all.)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((*nods to everyone's respective beliefs* Cool. *because all of it is cool, in my opinion* *and yeah*))

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

...Oh.

#ChaseForBook9

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

((I don't have a religion. I just don't, and I'm sort of at peace with the whole religion thing.))

Noelle said...

Yeah, but that's a waste of energy. *Pulls up a chair instead, sits down*

Ah goodness, I wouldn't even know where to start. I suppose the beginning... *Thinks for a moment*
