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.

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4944 Newer› Newest»Kindred: *takes Adra's hand and shakes it* Hi. It seems a lot happened to Trip while I was away.
#ChaseForBook9
(Kinda wish Nic was here I wanna invite John to the Christmas Eve Ball....don't judge I feel like being a kind soul to a name. I do have a heart ))
((The Tadra reuniting bit is making me grin.))
((If you would like, though, I can (distantly) RP something with you, Zaf. Or the copy.))
#ChaseForBook9
Er, yes. Quite a lot... *She gathers up her blanket* Why don't you two come in, and warm up?
(It's making my squeal because it was so painful for me because argh)
*sighs* Never mind....
Olivia: *sits in snow seeing Trip is back* Unlce Trip!
Well, everyone's at the bar, but I'm sure they can look after themselves.
Kindred: Yeah. I wanna find out more about the woman who got into that stone heart of yours!
#ChaseForBook9
(I don't have many feels fir Tadra. I'm not a touchy feely person. I don't smile or grin or feel anything with couples. Unless they're like super freakin cute.
If you want Fabi. I don't mind)
Hello Olivia! This is Kindred! *points at Kindred*
Kindred: *waves* Hello! Should you be lying in the snow like that?
#ChaseForBook9
*She half- laughs, leading them in, and tucking the blanket away* I wouldn't say it's all stone..
*a small grin breaks out as they follow Adra inside
#ChaseForBook9
(Still though, Zaf... It would be nice if you could at least respect it... :/)
Olivia: *giggles* Hi Kindred! And yes I'm in my snow jacket and it's so fluffy! *throws a snowball at Trip* SNOWBALLS
*Pokes her head out* Olive, don't stay out there- you'll catch a cold
Come inside!
#ChaseForBook9
*A snowball flies from the roof and hits Olivia* *Priya jumps from a balcony*
(Sadness. Dad went to work, Mom and I were happy he doesnt do anything helpful when home. Now he's coming back. Not even a half hour. Ugh.)
Olivia: *yelps getting hit laughing and runs inside after Trip ad Adra*
*Adra pops back inside, to go get drinks* *She realizes that she has a wide range of things to drink*
Er... Is there anything you all want to drink? I have food as well. And more sweets and desserts than I've ever made..
*Priya notices Olivia disappear*
*She sighs, and sits*
Tea would be nice thanks, with milk.
Kindred: Black tea for me please.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: I go outside. I think Priya wants to play. *runs back outside and looks around* Priya?
'Ello?
(Hai Cassidy)
*Adra nods, getting to work* Coming right up...
*Priya hits Olivia with another snowball*
(CASSSSSS *cuddles*)
'Ello.
#ChaseForBook9
((Well, you were complaining about being alone, so I thought I'd offer.))
((Seems like you've found something to do now.))
#ChaseForBook9
What's happening?
(Not a lot, my dear. You?)
*accepts cuddle*
Hellooooo Cassidy!
Olivia: *giggles and makes a snowball and throws it at Priya* Weeee!!!!!
Just listening to music, putting off the two essays I need to write and the maths revision I need to do...
Kindred: So when did you two actually get together? And how?
#ChaseForBook9
(Ew...math :/ well I hope it works out for you, then..)
*Priya smiles at Olivia, easily dodging before the throws a torrent of snow at Olivia*
-
Er... Almost six months ago, I think... I don't exactly remember, but... *She laughs, bringing their drinks over and handing them to the two*
[Fabi appears in Blogland and checks the time]
[Her eyes widen as she realizes she doesn't have Christmas presents for anyone]
#ChaseForBook9
Imma fail math tbh... Ah well. I kick ass at English:D
Olivia: *ducks and starts throwing snowballs right back at Priya*
Thanks. *sips* I think we first met when Rhydian was possessed didn't we? I think our first proper conversation was when you were trying to heal him, and I was soul switching with him. *smiles* I threw you away with a blast of energy so you wouldn't die horribly.
#ChaseForBook9
(That's a given, Cas. I have as well :3 )
*Priya waves at Fabi before tackling Olivia, and stuffing snow in her face*
*Adra nods in agreement* And then I had to go and save your life a few time, and then here we are.
Not used to Blogland any more, so I'll just pop off the now. Byeee x<3 *HUGS FOR EVERYONE*
Olivia: *tries to shove snow at Priya* Cold! Snow! WEE
Bye Cassie! *cuddles* Ttyl
Priya does a little roll, and moves away*
((I nearly fell asleep during one of the math sections on the PSAT! D:))
[Waves to Priya]
[Sits on a tree stump, pulling out her laptop]
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *gathers up snow and starts throwing it*
Bye Cass! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Cassidy.
Kindred: *sips tea* Well, that was a riveting tale.
Yup.
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya dodges and scales a tree, shaking the branch so snow falls*
-
*Adra nods, taking a bite out of a chocolate covered pretzel*
So what of you all? What happened when you were gone?
Olivia: *looks up and gets covered in snow* Snoooow!!!!
*Priya laughs quietly down at the girl*
Fighting, death, giant bear.
Kindred: The cultists summoned a giant bear.
It ate them all, and then Kindred here, blew it's head off!
Kindred: I tried to fire a couple of lasers, but... well, fired a wopping great ball of energy that blew it's head off.
Ya should've been there Adra. We dined like very poor kings that night.
#ChaseForBook9
*She smiles* I should have...
*Pauses* You didn't get my alchemist killed, did you?
Olivia: I can't climb hmmm...
thank god you left my love behind
couldn't change me if you tried
*Priya waves down tauntingly*
(Hey there Mara *waves*)
He may or may not have been eaten alive by cultists.
Kindred: Spoiler alert, the may not is the correct one.
Why did you have to go and ruin it?
Kindred: Because I don't think she'd find it all too funny to hear her friend got eaten! Sorry about him.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *looks at tree and slowly starts to climb obviously petrified*
*She half smiles* It's no problem. Eritan wouldn't be stupid enough to get himself killed, anyway...
*Priya carefully watches*
*finishes tea*
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *almost gets to Priya and slips falling into a snow pile*
*She finishes as well, taking Trip's cup and carefully bringing it to clean out, then drying it*
*She takes a deep breath* so... What now?
*Priya looks at her* *She laughs*
Olivia: *stands up snow all in her hair* Dang it! *tries climbing again*
I'm not sure. You could come to the bar? The gang's all there.
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya sits forward, and throws some snow over Olive as she climbs*
*She half shrugs*
Sure. Give me a second, though...
*She briefly disappears into her room*
*She comes out a few minutes later with a shawl on and a pair of gloves*
*She nods* I'm good to go when you all are..
Olivia: eeeekk!!$ *ends up falling* Liv no like trees
[Finishes with the list of presents for as many of her friends as she can think of good presents for]
[Closes laptop]
[Stands]
#ChaseForBook9
All right. *Kindred finishes up her tea, and they leave, heading up the hill to the bar*
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya signs something, then remembers that Olivia is five, and there is no possible way that she knows sign language*
*She gives Olivia a thumbs up instead*
(fabroooooooooue! *cuddles*)
*Adra follows at a slight distance, watching the snow as she walks*
((Adraaaaaaaa! [hugs]))
((I've been here the whole time?))
#ChaseForBook9
(I know! I just feel like hugging you again, because you're awesome :D)
Olivia: *mumbles feeling someone pull her up*
Alexis: Hey Priya. Good job burrying Liv
*Trip opens the door for Kindred, who enters the bar, and waits for Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya nods, proud of her achievements*
-
*Adra hops up the steps* Thank you.*She steps in*
*bright golden light/portal appears* *Rhydian Saint walk out of it* Hey...*passes out*
((Hey! How are you all? What's going on?))
(Hi Rhydian! I'm okay- you?)
((Trip just got back from his adventure and Olivia is having a snowball fight with Priya.)) *catches Rhydian* Woah there lad.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *laughs* come down Priya
Olivia: *tries to run*
Alexis: *picns Liv up throwing her into the snow*
((I'm swell Adra :) just a boring day ))
Thanks Trip. Just help me get to my house and I'll be alright. I think I'll have hot chocolate
((Okay...))
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, come in! I'll make you some!
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra runs to Eritan, and hugs him* Eritan... Thank goodness you're alright.
*Eritan hugs her back tightly* Little sister... Of course. *He looks at her, then, quietly* Your eyes... They're telling my a story that your voice can not..
*Adra's smile drops* Another time, friend and-
It's past Saturday...
*Eritan nods, going back to hugging her* I know..
(Don't sound so surprised, Fabi :P)
Thanks Trip :)
*Priya shakes her head*
Think nothing of it. *helps him inside*
#ChaseForBook9
*comes back a while later* Everyone is at the bar?
Ravel: Yup but if you go I'm not stopping Trip from murdering you.
*skips in*
Hello everyone!
*trips and falls*
*sighs*
I really need to stop doing that...
*gets up and dusted off dress*
Alexis: Whats up Priya? *easily climbs up to*
FLORA!!!!!! *TACKLEHUGS ALTHOUGH HAS A LIMP* HOW ARE YOU? *HUGS*

*Priya shrugs*

@Adra: I shall! *sits down*
What's everyone drinking?
Hello Flora. Take it easy, Rhydian. All right, who wants what? *A chorus of teas with different amounts of sugar and milk come from the group who just got back from Mongolia* Flora? Eritan?
#ChaseForBook9
*Eritan shakes his head* No thank you. I must, unfortunately, take my leave... *he bows slightly to the group, then disappears out the door*.
*Adra sits down in her corner* tea, Your Majesty
*decides to walk down to the bar*
Yeah :) have to wear it to school on Friday. Most of the year are dreading it, but me and my friends are buzzing (we're like five year olds)

Alexis: Hey I can hear thoughts you know. Aren't you cold?
Milk? Sugar?
#ChaseForBook9
(I know- the jumper is adorable!)
*Priya shakes her head no*
Whipped cream, marshmellows, chocolate shavings, sprinkles with that Rhydian? I can do anything really.
#ChaseForBook9

(Thanks Adra haha. My little cousins are gonna love it lol)
And you, Flora?
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra pulls her shawl closer around herself* *She watches the group*
[Walks in with a briefcase]
[Puts the briefcase in her wallet]
[Hovers hesitantly near the edge of things, shaking the snow out of her hair]
#ChaseForBook9
Blake: You ok Rhydian?
Yeah. Trip can you get Blake a Coke ot something?
Or**
*Adra sees Fabi and smiles, waves, then realizes she isn't looking her way*
Does Blake want a coke?
Blake, what would you like? And you, Fabi, what would you like?
#ChaseForBook9
Blake: Yes please Mr Castalan. Can I call you Trip?
Call me whatever you want, I'm not fussy.
Wait- how do you know my name?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: wow you must be real used to the cold
*walks into the bar* Oh dear...so many people
Hello Zaf! The usual?
#ChaseForBook9
Blake: Overhear over people say it.
It's actually quite scary how much yiu hear, Y'know that?
Blake: *laughs*
Hot chocolate, please? A small one?
[Reaches her hand into her wallet]
[Accidentally pulls out a pillow]
[Blinks sleepily at the pillow]
[Puts it back in the wallet and pulls out some money]
[Carefully counts out nickels]
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya nods* I spent a month in the Alps once without shelter or food. Winter snow is child's play.
Y-yes please Trip. *sits down*
Very good, I'll only be a sec. *disappears downstairs*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: That had to have been harsh Priya. I'm not used to the cold. At all.
Brb. Tea's ready.
*Adra quietly gets up and slips outside amidst the arrival and excitement of so many people* *She sits on the bottom step*
[Walks over to Adra and hands her an envelope]
[Hands one to Rhydian as well]
[And Zaf]
[And Trip when he comes back]
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya nods in agreement*
((Or not since Adra left?))
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Fabi.
Alexis: Where were you from orginally?
*comes back up and gives a coke to blake, a hot chocolate to Rhydian with all the works, a small hot chocolate to Fabi, red wine for Zaf and numerous different variations of tea to everyone else. Notices Adra's absence and goes and sits by her outside* I've got your tea.
((Bye Rhydian!))
#ChaseForBook9
(Bye Rhydian *waves*)
*Adra smiles* Thank you. *She takes the tea, carefully drinking from it*
*warms fingers on own tea, looking out into the snow*
#ChaseForBook9
[Nods]
[Her phone rings]
[She glances down at the caller ID]
[Runs out of the bar, leaving her hot chocolate]
#ChaseForBook9
*She sighs, watching the snow fall as well*
*Mara appears in the bar, bleeding and in a heap on the ground* *she gasps loudly*
(if you're not doing another plot haha if you are just tell me and i'll go study lmao)
[Sees Adra and Trip]
[Doesn't want to disturb them]
[Disappears via amulet and answers the phone]
#ChaseForBook9
(Adra and I are outside, but the others are in there.)
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya feels her stomach twist slightly, and hops from the tree, running into the bar and sitting by Mara*
So why are you out here, and not inside? *sips tea*
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks Trip *takes wine*
Alexis: okay....well I guess that was...*climbs down and goes by Olivia taking her inside the treehouse*
((I just got a phone call, panicked and left, sorry, Mara! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
There was a lot of people in there... I felt like I couldn't breathe
(Zaf's still in there. Plus, I have about six characters in there. I'm a moron, sorry) *everyone puts down their tea and runs over to Mara, they immediately start trying to help her and communicate with her.*
#ChaseForBook9
I didn't know you had trouble with crowds, I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
((damn sorry for poofing there Tich was on TV))
((It's okay Fabi :) *hugs*))
*she looks up at Priya and whispers* They took them.
*Priya tools terribly frightened, and touches Mara's shoulder, doing her best to heal her*
-
That's alright...
Bob: Who, lass?
*half the crowd suddenly becomes a lot quieter, as if they didn't want to miss a word*
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra if it's too much work for you it's alright, I understand how hard it is to control so many characters at once *hugs*)
Mara who took who? *already has that sense of when I talk to victims in the Sanctuary* Do I need to get your Grand Mage to send help?
*sighs* I'm sorry, I was away for so long. I didn't mean to be away at all, it was supposed to be in and out. Sadly the cultists had other plans...
#ChaseForBook9
((Same to you Trip *hugs* ^^^))
(No, it isn't a problem, Mara *hugs*)
Hypsin: Please, Miss Kerias, we can handle this without the help of Ravel.
#ChaseForBook9
(*hugs* it's not a problem Mara.)
#ChaseForBook9
*She shakes her head* I understand, Trip... You had to go save Kindred. *She reaches over, and takes his hand* It was the right thing to do
*eyes turn glassy* *gasps* They have... Harry and the... kids.. *she lets out a large groan and her head drops to the ground*
*shrugs* I'm sorry it's my second nature.
((oh my god
i dedicate to tich bc amazing))
*looks ready to ask who and then realizes she's out cold* Oh good god....
Bob: Who, lass? Who have them?
#ChaseForBook9
*Priya looks over the girl, and pulls out a piece of chalk, drawing on her arm- a simple symbol, but one that would suffice*
*squeezes her hand and smiles* You'll never cease to amaze me.
#ChaseForBook9
((TADRAAAAAAAAAAA
Mara's knocked out at the middle lmao sorry))
((*minute))
Kindred: Salacious, Hypsin? Can you read her?
Hypsin: No, teleporters' minds are slippery, not quite, fixed.
#ChaseForBook9
Back!
wb Rhydian.
#ChaseForBook9
(Hey again, Rhydian *waves*)
*She smiles back, leaning over and kissing his cheek* At least it'll keep things interesting
Well she is alive. My necklace hasn't gone cold

Blake: Tadra? Are they together
Yeah...Isn't it awesome?
Blake: *smiles*
TADRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blake: Tadra? Are they together
Yeah...Isn't it awesome?
Blake: *smiles*
*Mara mumbles under her breath*
Bob: Not to mention she's breathing.
Kindred: Her soul's doing fine, quite strong really.
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* well her kids and husband are missing
*Priya nods, then motions to the others to help get her somewhere to lay down*
What's going on?
AAHH I'm so sorry! I disappeared!
Glad that things are going okay Rhydian :)
Clear a table maybe.
Hypsin:We heard that, Miss Kerias.
*Xephos and Salacious pick up Mara and lay her down on a couch*
#ChaseForBook9
*Mara cries out*
What's going on?

#ChaseForBook9
((Wb Flora *hugs*
Rhy, it's easier to explain if you read the comments going back, seeing as I don't want to spoil any of my plot :P basically, someone took Harry and the kids and Mara showed up at the bar, bruised and bloody and yeah.))
wb Fabs.
#ChaseForBook9
(Hey again Fabi)
*Adra moves his arm, tucking herself against his side, setting her tea next to her*
((*hugs Fabi* wb :)))
*she opens her eyes and starts crying out* *she covers her leg with her hand and covers her mouth with the other to stop herself from screaming*
((TADRA OMFG JUSTGET MARRIED ALREAYD OMFG PLS MY FEELINGS))
Lets work on finding the kids. I'm sorry but I can't stand the thought of kids being hurt.
*Rhydian gets a phone call* *answers*
Hello?
Hermione Poetry: Hi its me...Where did you go yesterday?
Er.....I just had to go.
Hermione: But where?
Sorry, can't talk now.
Hermione: Will you be in tomorrow?
Yeah. See ya
Hermione: Ok. Bye.
*hangs up*
Blake: Who was that?
Hermione....She's a friend from school
(I'm pretending Tadra isn't happening simply to not ruin my mood. It just reminds me over and over how much anything I do is resented.)
Quill: we were already working on that, and unless you happen to know who /they/ are, or where Mara just came from, we can't save anyone.
#ChaseForBook9
(Rhy is it bad that I read 'Hermione' and pictured Hermione Granger. Dude k when I was 11 I wished I could go to Hogwarts.
My leg... *squeezes her eyes shut* *removes her hand to show a bullet wound through her ankle* *whimpers*
Yeah I have no idea. Unless it's Mevolent because Mevolent is back. But I can't see him taking newborns, I mean he can go low but I mean that low is.....
