Ohhh, all those lovely Doctor Who stories, all in one place! And look what ELSE arrived in the same box...
Toys! Wonderful, wonderful TOYS!
I was indeed a happy writer.
So what else have I been up to lately? Well, I've been writing, amazingly enough. I have taken two weeks off Book Nine to focus on coming up with new stories for Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!) which'll be out next summer.
As a sample of what the new stories will feature, we're talking the Dead Men in the Wild West, the story of how Valkyrie met Caelan, a Billy-Ray Sanguine solo adventure, and Skulduggery Pleasant and Gordon Edgley at a horror-themed masquerade ball, set 25 years ago.
Time is tight, deadlines are onrushing, but I'm having FUN, so none of it seems quite like work. And hopefully it never will.

@Death: You have your longest holidays over Christmas. We have ours in July-August, because that's when our summer is. :) We're off from later Decemeber to early January . . . One more week. :)
@Death: I love you. :) Tongue stuick to a freezer sounds painful. D: I've had my tongue stuck to ice cubes. Never a freezer.
@Rhydian: Hope you have fun. :)

(Coincidentally, in the book I'm reading, it just started snowing for the first time in about a decade or something.)
(I love up to see people reacting to snow and look down to see people reacting to snow. :))
#ChaseForBookNine
I have decided to get my crush a Christmas card. Feel extremely nervous.
Okay, sorry, I need to rant.
I'm actually really sick of people saying how thin and small I am. I actually hate being really thin. I can't put on weight or muscle, I've tried! People think that I'm lucky for that, but in all honesty, it's a curse! I still weigh 45kg and I'm 15 and a half when I'm flipping 167cm! That ain't right!
The doctors want me to put on weight but don't seem to understand that it is physically impossible for me to do so. I eat like a cow. I don't stop eating. But how the fuck do I manage to fit into size 6 skinny jeans if that's the case? I can't do anything about this. The doctors can't comprehend that, can they!? My friends can't, either! Nor can anyone in my classes!
Just once in my life I'd like to be looked at like I fit in with the rest of the group, not standing out like a weed in a lawn.
Okay. I'm done.
I'm the same Rose. I eat twice as much (or three times as much) food than my parents, but I'm still really thin. It's annoying.
Go Rhy!! *Cheers*
Haha, Star.
It is more than annoying... And right now, after I finished a three course meal, I'm starving...
Same-ish.
@Rhydian: Good for you. :) Good luck.
@Death: *hugs* :( :(
Physical appearance shouldn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're not pretty, and it doesn't matter if you're pretty. One time my friend was getting really stressed out because she looked really nice and had her eyeborws plucked and her hair nice and makeup and she was saying she looked like a bitch, because that was what all the bicthy girls looked like.
And I was kind of like :O.
It doesn't matter what you look like. You're a beautiful person, Death, and you shouldn't be neither lucky nor unlucky to look skinny, because it shouldn't matter. :)
Also, I think people always hate some things about themselves. *nods*
*hugs Death*
That said, it still sounds extremely annoying. :/
#ChaseForBookNine
I don't have it as bad as Death, but I'm naturally skinny too . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I think I may try and get some sleep... I know I should sleep when I'm dead but I had to do a bit of handiwork today and I'm buggered... And it's mid night...
Goodnight, everyone. I love you. *Hugs*
Love you too Rose *hugs* Goodnight! Sweet dreams!
@Death: Fours! *hugs* Have a good rest. :)
#ChaseForBookNine

Who's been painting my roses red? Who dares to taint with vulgar paint the royal flower bed? Who's been painting my roses red? Someone will lose his head
"Your majesty please it's all his fault"
"The Duce you say?"
"The Ace! The Ace!"
"That's enough numerical stuff! Off with your crimsons off with your scarlets OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!"
We'ere going to lose our heads! For painting the roses red!
Simon says curtsey
Simon says bow
Simon says genuflect
Simon says meow
Simon says swim up stream
Simon says scream
Simon says bow before me like a bunch of gropplinf dogs!
Now stand up!
*they all stand*
I DIDNT SAY SIMON SAYS OFF WITH YOUR HEADS!
I'll have to shut down the laptop now . . . :(
Stupid Christmas party.
Fours!
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey people! How are you all?
Bye Star!
Wh likes my Christmas clothes? Lol I think I look awesome haha cousins gonna love it :)
Who**
I have my snowman pj's on
Cool Zaffy :)
Well when it snows a lot lol yeah....*watches smow fall* it's pretty! And cold
It's just raining a lot in England. Typical Christmas really.
It always snows here usually. Last year Derek couldn't believe I had a white Christmas
((Just read a few comments back. Thanks Adra :) ))
A white Christmas? Haven't had one if those for about a year or two.
Last year we did lol
Awkward moment when NJ and i scream in caps on Skype
I'm trying to get Skype. But parents got rid of the webcam....-.-
I have my iPod and phone but I'm using my iPod
.....Very quiet here lol. Just me and Zaffy?
It appears to be that way
Ok then..........Just going to make a Christmas cake. *goes into kitchen and starts baking*
*follows quietly* dynamite!
Sorry, no dynamite in cake!
Awww! *watches
Zaf do you mind helping Blake put up Christmas decorations around my house? Does Blogland have any decoratiobs yet btw?
Hmm well I decorated my treehouse but I can help decorate I guess just mind that I'm limping still and Ravel may be back any time soon
((Okay so the horse U had today freaked out because of the rain and started galloping. The when I was taking him back to the stall, I dropped my helmet- it wasn't loud- but he freaks out and begins to gallop away))
Ok. Ravel? Can you please explain to. E why he's here? And why nobody seems to be bothered that...well you know. Am I missing something here?
He and I are engaged, Rhy. And people know but they just ignore it because he's fine....for the most part. I mean the time was reduced to 4hrs a day but...
((*I
Also, Rhydian- be weary of spoilers... And even hinting. Even without saying... Yeah.))
(Well I if someone says something and it is a spoiler instead of SAYING ITS A SPOILER you can just not say anything and if you get it you do if you don't well okay)
((Ok sorry Adra))
Ok. I'll try to get along with him (last spoiler I promise). So how long have you been engaged?
A few weeks. We have a son too, Christopher. He's so tiny and cute he has his father's eyes though...
Aww...So Olivia is now a big sister? How's she recently? And Alexis?
Well Olivia is doing well, and Alexis is dating Lorcan, Em and Chase's son from that other dimension
Glad they're doing well. When's the wedding then? (Just me or is this conversation drifting in a totally random direction?)
*Adra sits inside of her lab, making peppermints, quietly*
We havent decided yet actually....*looks slighty red*
Well that's fine. Not in any rush, are ya? Plenty of time to get married.
*laughs* yeah I got time
Ravel: *comes out looking for Zaf*
*finishes Christmas cake* Any ideas of what else I could serve at the Ball? *thinking*
I'm not entirely sure! Hmm....cookjes?
Good idea Zafira!
*starts baking cookies*
*Adra sings "L.A. Woman" under her breath with her music as she cooks, rolling up the peppermint sticks*
There ya go *laughs*
Bend it
Mold it
Throw away what doesn't fit
Shape it to your will
Eat your fill
Or she'll
Take it
Til it's done what she wants
Break it
When it's done what she wants
Fake it
With a smile
And you'll believe her
For a while
But when you're tired
She says you're fired
But hey, she's not your boss
She's at a loss
For words and then you say something you heard
It hurts
But you can let her take the blame
For shame
It's open, broken
Scattered pieces
Hoping it will
Suddenly fix
No more tricks up your sleeve
Time to leave
Time for her to leave
Just breathe
Yeah, I'm angry
'Cause you made me
Doesn't mean that I now hate you
Wait, you
Didn't have to go
You say no
And I won't go
After you
Whenever you
Say
The word
...I have no clue what just popped out of my head.
Hi.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi!!
*finishes making cookies*
Hey Moss!
Hello Adra [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Rhydian [hugs]
Mm... Cookies.
I haven't had time to bake for any of my teachers/fan club... :-/
#ChaseForBook9
*She cooks the peppermints a bit to give them a glaze*
*in the mean time, she works on the melted chocolate, and pouring it over the pretzels she has*
Ravel: *picks up Olivia as she tries headbutting* Hey Livvy! Watch out
Olivia: *giggles* Down!
Hi Ravel!
Ravel: hello.
*Still nodding her head to music, she finishes using all the chocolate on the pretzels, and begins to put sprinkles on some, and sprinkles and bacon on a select few*
Zaf, what happened with the Mevolent plot? Is there something I missed?
#ChaseForBook9
No I just haven't done anything with it yet.
I see.
#ChaseForBook9
*She sets the dozens of pretzels aside and begins on the sugar cookies*
Little Mix were just on tv :)))))
I may do something but eh I dunno
*locks house up and walks to motorbike and pulls jacket off then takes Santa hat off* Gotta go home before parents wonder where I am. *puts helmet on and gets onto motorbike and drives outta Blogland*
@Mara- let me guess. You squeaked? :P
@Rhydian- bye if that was your departure?
@Adra Pretzels! :D
@Mara Yay! :-)
@Zaf Well, I had intended my plotline to intersect with the Mevolent one, because that's what everyone else was doing at the time, but if you're not going to do anything with it...
#ChaseForBook9
*is quiet*
Ravel: Zafira!
Hey! *hugs*
Ravel: how do you feel?
Uh pretty bad
I will Fabi I just havent had time to do it
[Waves to Rhydian]
#ChaseForBook9
*At the same time of the cookies, she makes some fudge*
*the Mevolent Dimension*
Mevolent: What did they do to Aro?
Vengeous: I do not know. Most likely Kerias has him.
Mevolent: Then we strike against the Bloglandians.
Vengeous: Very well. When?
Mevolent: Today, gather a few....select, members. And if you should spot Niccolò, use him to your advantage.
((All those treats you're making... I'm starting to get hungry! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
(Ha I made soup irl)
((Let me know if you want me to bring Lissa in. It's fine if you don't, but I thought I'd put the option out there.))
((I'll be distant either way.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Yeah, maybe soup would be a good idea...))
#ChaseForBook9
(You can...i could use someone)
you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are gray
you'll never know dear, how much i love you
so please don't take my sunshine away
*She begins to make her chex mix as well*
[Lissa's guard shift ends and she leaves the dungeon, letting her heels clatter on the floor.]
[She realizes she doesn't know what her next assignment is]
#ChaseForBook9

Serpine: Come here Lissa the master is preparing to have an attack
Me: i rlly need to stop swearing
20 seconds later: where the fuck is my goddamn shitbitch pencil

[Changes out of her high heels and into some more practical boots]
[Follows Serpine]
#ChaseForBook9
((pokes Maralie))
((Points to the weaving thingy I'm doing))
((Mimics voice of art teacher))
((The string can only move in one direction. It wraps around....like so.))
#ChaseForBook9

*hugs Fabi*
:)))))))))
Your art teacher is cool :))))
I feel ya, Marsies
*She gets herself a glass of wine as her food cooks*
((They are so cute together!!!))
((YES she is. I really miss taking her class. D:))
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: would you join the forces to attack the Bloglandians, Lissa?
Lissa: Sure! Sounds like fun! [Grins]
[The cracks on her skin shift slightly, making her hard to look at]
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: *doesnt look directly at her* Get whomever you want. We aim to capture not kill
ADRASDOS DARK BY THE ORDER OF NJ MABERICK AND I YOU ARE TO GET YOUR AMERICAN SELF ON SKYPE
Lissa: Okay. When do you want me to begin?
#ChaseForBook9
Mevolent: whenever you feel like
*Mara sits in the balcony on the 1DHouse, with Mackenzie in her arms* *swings her legs, singing softly to her*
Lissa: Mm kay! [Goes off to her room to look through her collection of knives and decide what to bring]
#ChaseForBook9
*sits on balcony of my treehouse holding Christopher*
((*coughs awkwardly*))
Harry: *walks out to Mara* Hey, babe.
Mara: Where's Ash? *yawns*
Harry: *sits down beside her* I put him in bed. He was falling asleep in my arms anyway.
Mara: *smiles* I think Kenzie should be asleep in a few minutes. She was yawning.
(((Ikayyyyyyyyy))
*She sighs, taking things out if the oven to cool*
*Adra notices the amount of smells in the room and tries to channel her anger and pain into her cooking*
((And the nominees are
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Leonardo DiCaprio
And

And the winner is *opens envelope*
Adele))
((ASH AND KENZIE))
((Uh, msd, sorry.))
#ChaseForBook9
((That's so accurate...
I think I've seen that actually :P))
*She stands up with her mug of cider and walks around*
Ravel: how is the baby?
He's fine just laying here really.
Ravel: *picks him up gently* He really looks like me...
It was you who fathered him
Ravel: wasn't my intent but he is welcome
((:/ okay Fabi))
*She puts on a lovely red cashmere sweater, snuggling in the warmth*
*She smiles*
*Adra taps her fingers on the counter*
*Considers breaking into the Scottish Sanctuary, to find Trip's number and call him to make sure he's okay*
*kisses cheek* look
Chrisopher: *starts sucking fingers*
Ravel: he looks hungry
*She works on her dress*
He's always hungry
Ravel: *smiles and eventually Christopher falls asleep*
Go on he can go into the chair he'll sleep
Ravel: *goes inside and places him in the swinging chair which is now still* *goes back to Zafira putting an arm around her*
Hey there.
Ravel: Feelings cold?
A bit. I'm used to cold though, i lived in the Necromancer Temple for a while
I'm nervous....I know Ari sent a group into the Palace and Nic was part of that group and he's been gone almost a week
Ravel: I'm sure...he'll be alright
How do we know?!
*Adra eats a piece of chocolate*
*She looks at her phone*
Olivia: *runs to the lab knocking on the door*
((How old is Olivia now?))
*All of Adra's food is lying out to cool*
*She considers going to find a tree*
*Bites her lip, wanting to wait for Trip*
Hey. :)
The party wasn't NEARLY as nightmarish as I feared, even though there were WAY more kuds than I was expecting (we had it this year on the guarantee there would be none. Earlier today, my mum let slip there would be about four, much to our anger.
In reality
there were about FIFTEEEN. :O
All these neightbours and my mum's friend's kids . . . -_-
Plus my brother had his friends, and my sizter has her friends and their siblings . . . :P
It's been okay, though. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Liv is.....5
*friends'
I like the kids next door, though. :) Never met 'em till today, but they're cool.
They've only lived 'ere three months.
#ChaseForBookNine
*no little kids
We knew there would be kids. We were thinking it would just be our friends, coz usually we have all these strangers running wild and it's hell. After my brother's wall got graffitied, we stopped hosting it for a few years. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*hosting the party
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeahhhh . . . How is everyone? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(We just put up our Christmas tree!! :P it looks lovely! And I'm glad the party wasn't devastating.
How are you?)
*She flips her phone in her hands*
*The door opens because it is unlocked*
@Adra: Yay for Christmas trees! :)
We've got decorations everywhere becayse pqrty. :P My sistet's room's a grotto and has shiny paper on all the walls and snowflakes habging from tue ceiling and flasging lights and so on . . . And chocolate stamped into the floor and thw Christmas tree fallng over and her bed in a different plqce and not able to get into the cupbowrds. :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Olivia: *walks in and runs to Adra* Hi Aunt Adra!!!
Hey Zaf! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Adra smiles* Hey there, peanut.
((We haven't any ornaments yet, but...))
I have three teenage/almost teenage girls in my room showing off how flexible they are/aren't. :P
They're all nice though. It's cool. One of them's my sister.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: We have very few non-party ornanents. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
(*waves*
Olivia: Hiya Aunt Adra! *pokes* *starts giggling hysterically*
Blergh I dedicate this page to Niccolò. And to winter. And Christmas. And my niece and nephew.
*She smiles* Want something to eat, sweetie? I just baked a lot of things. So long as you don't tell your mom..
Olivia: Yes please! *grins*
DAMN these girls are freaking me out. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
*Adra goes to her kitchen and surveys what she has*
*She picks out a chocolate-covered piece of peppermint bark and hands it to Olivia* There ya go.
(Am I freaking you out?
0.0))
(*poketh Star* Pokey)
Olivia: *takes and starts nibbling on* Tasty!!!! Candy!!!! *grins* I built another snowman! I put the thesauri by it cuz it was cool!
(Im gonna go frolic in smow for a few)
Sounds fun!
*Adra shrugs, and goes up her stairs in her larger room, looking at the bookshelves*
(Anyone around?)
((I am faintly here))
One Direction are on X Factor in a while and Little Mix is the background music with Change Your Life :')
I'm sure I'll hear the excitement from here :)
oh wow Sam and Nicole were freaking amazing wow
*hugs Adra*
Olivia: Auntie Adra?
*Hugs Mara* I don't knoweeewewwwee
*She looks down at the floor where Olivia is* Yeah?
Olivia: Can you show me what your magic is? Momma said I should explore and I wanted to ask you to show me....*looks a little scared*
Oh!
Okay.. *She jumps over the railing and the ground raises up as a chair so she sits ten feet above the ground on the rock*
Olivia: how did you do that?
*She pauses* Lots and lots of practice.
Olivia: thats really cool! I can *clicks fingers* make fire
So I've seen you do before... *She tries to smile*
Olivia: *grins* How come Priya can heal?
Weeeeeelllll
It all depends on what sect of alchemy you choose. We all have basics in each field... Priya became a healer- she uses symbols for healing. Kerra and I, however, use herbs and medicine. But we all have a basic, as I said. Healing, fighting, mental, energy etc..
Thank you.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: oh cool! (Blergh msd parents arguing
*teleports beside Adra* *yelps* *falls backwards* *shakes her head, stunned*
((aw, Jadey poo 🌸)
(Hi again Fabi!)
*looks at Mara* what
Olivia: MARA!!!!
The weird/cool things you find out when mailing Christmas cards...
I don't know if I'm here... There's black ice and I keep slipping off of it and floating away.
There was a photographer who blew bubbles during that cold spell and they froze and looked really pretty.
#ChaseForBook9
*stands up* *dusts herself off* Fucki- *glances at Olivia* I mean, I tripped as I was teleporting. Anyway. Hey, Olivia. *smiles* Adra. I need your help. Please.
((*hugs Fabi*
Alright Fabigail... :(
Love you xx)
Olivia: Momma isn't very good at not using the bad words. *giggles*
((ugh my dad is here with his new girlfriend /:))
Okay, Fabi... If you need to go, then by all means, do what you feel is right. *hugs*
Mara... What is it?
Ew. I feel your pain.
