Oooh Shiny...

Look what arrived a few days ago...


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.

In our school, if we get less than 80% in your test it is a sin and you should probably go and cry -.-
So we're made to learn really hard stuff :/
Meh.

Deathhhhh! *hugs* *pokes back*

EXPLOSIVE ZAF

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Thanks Adra *hugs* XD

Lots of people didn't learn the table yet so I'm kind of scared for them :/

Noelle said...

(Hello Rose *waves*)

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: You won't need to know every single element in a test, presuming yours are similar to ours . . . :)

Do you have different levels of tests? Like, higher and foundation?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Hopefully Star, haha :P
I know most of the table off by heart, anyway. Most of it I slightly know. Meh.
Annnddd I'm not sure actually. When you get into 2nd Year I'm sure there's Honours Maths... Idk. Haha.

Noelle said...

*Adra carefully gets up, too cold to stay outside, and walks back to her lab*
*Once there, she goes to her kitchen, rolling up her sleeves- aware that the carved words on her arm are showing, and cooks some dinner*

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: Ah, the Honours thing like American people. :)

@Zaf: I'm already exploded. :P I live in England, remember?

SO HAH.

*is not quite sure why that merits a 'hah', but still*

Hey *kisses back*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Msd :/

We've got this really nice substitute Home Ec teacher and everyone else hates her and I DON'T KNOW WHY :P she's really nice and funny and gives us breaks between double classes. And my friends say "but she gives us so much homework!" but if she didn't give us homework we wouldn't learn as much as we needed to know for the Christmas Tests! :P

People confuse me.

Noelle said...

((*hugs Mara if she goes*))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

((awh i've got a cute harralie moment i need to do but i kind of forgot that harry and ash and kenzie got kidnapped :P))

Noelle said...

*She stirs some vegetables into a broth, pulling her hair back, thinking quiet thoughts*
*She feels a tear slide from her eye and hastily wipes it away*

Noelle said...

(OMG Mara lol)

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: :( Characters can be annoying. :P

That's like with my French teacher. :) Well, slightly. People hate her because she gives us loads of homework, but I like her because we really learn loads.

The girl I sit next to in French says she doesn't like her, and she thought at the beginning she was nice but she isn't, although she admitted that she would get us through the exam really well. She said "Oh, I think she'll get us through it, but . . ."

It depends what you're looking for in a teacher. :)

Noelle said...

*She has to stop cooking, feeling her throat squeeze, and her stomach tightening all the way to her heart*

*A chokes sob comes out, and she has to pinch herself really hard to stop and get back to work*

I'm suddenly realizing how hypocritical this animation is...

Hopefully that's not what it reads as, though...

Cute Harralie moment! I like cute Harralie moments!

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: :( I'm sure it isn't, and if it is, that's not all bad. :) Negatives equal positives.

And - most people like cute Harralie moments! :)

I need to get roleplaying . . . :P

(With Ez and Hunter?)

*Adra looks over her pan, the steam drifting up into her eyes*
*She has to look away from the sting, taking a long, deep, shaky breath*

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: You didn't call them Ezter! :)
*remembers that it's not ME who's really pleased about this, even though I'm the only one here and I was reacting in my way*
*so I was really pleased*
*even though I wasn't*
*groans* THIS IS CONFUSING.

Um. Yes. Roleplay with them.

But -

*points to over eight hundred words to memorise*

I use the words 'conflagration' and 'solicitude' in one sentence. :) *tries to remember how to spell them*

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

okay i'm going to say something i've been meaning to say for a while. this isn't directed at anyone, this is just what i've been thinking about for a while :)

so.

did you know that 87% of the female population hate themselves?
yeah.
that's a bit wrong, don't you think?

that's a lot of girls.

and did you know that 52% of them self harm?

that's a lot.

if you go on instagram, literally one of the first things you will see is depression accounts. They are everywhere. Tbh I'm fine with depression accounts. Like, I look through a few of them a lot. But there's a lot of them. And it's scary when you think about it.

Listen.

You are living.
You take up space.
Therefore,
you matter.

Honestly, who gives a fuck what you look like? If I want to make friends with someone, I don't look for a good looking person. I look for someone who has a nice personality.

I am insecure about myself, I'm going to be honest. I do look at myself in the mirror every day and hate myself. But I'm trying to change that. Some people told me I should go get help. But I don't want to. I want to try and get out of this on my own. By myself. And slowly, it's working.

Like, Blogland. When I first came on here, I had depression. I tried not to show it. And then, after a while, me trying to hide it actually kind of turned into me not having depression. At all.

And when I joined instagram, I made so many friends. Izzy is perfectionary. She's currently one of my best internet friends. And damn she's gorgeous lmao. But yeah.

And when I started secondary school, my God it was hard. I remember coming home feeling empty. I used to cry at least three times a day. I remember that weekend, I cried for two hours straight. It was because it was so hard. All my best girl friends were gone, all of the boys who I used to trust in and who I could depend on to give me good advice and just be there for me, were gone. My best friend who did come with me changed completely. She started acting better than I was and started spreading rumours about me. I started to get depressed again, and thought about suicide a lot more.
But then I found Jenny.
Her cousin was this guy in my old class. He was the person who actually got me reading Skulduggery Pleasant. (Thanks Bill, you're sound out lmao). And she knew a bit about me, and I knew a bit about her. I soon realised we were almost literally the same person. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. Like honestly. She is so sweet and kind and just caring, you know?

But yeah.

The point of this is,

No matter who you are,
No matter what you look like,
No matter what,
Someone cares about you.
They're probably caring right now and they don't even know they are.
So keep your chin up, princess. Don't let your crown fall off. And remember, stars need darkness before they can shine :)


Now I'm off to bed. Nanite x

(I get that. As much as I ship it, I feel bad about having them angry with me..)

What Ravel?

Ravel: I'm trying to get you to be cooperative!

I'm-*kisses gently*

Ravel: good i finally got you. *holds close* We have a wedding dearest.

When?

Ravel: When shall we? Christmas Day.

Mara, what you just said is absolutely perfect <3 and you're perfect too, all of you <3

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: I'm crying. *hugs* You're amazing. :) :) :)

Look, you said that everyone cares, and I'm a fairly caring person so I would probably care about you even if I didn't like you that much, but I wouldn't love you, and there are multiple reasons I love you, because awesomeness cannot be fully defined into a few words, but that speech is part of the reasons I love you. *hugs*

@Adra: They're not really angry with you. :) *hugs*

@Lantern: Yes. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

And if I DIDN'T like Mara all that much -

I would not be a bubble

because I would not be deserving of the awesomeness of that title.

@Flora: Hello! :) *hugs* You're perfect with us. :)

(Althoguh I'm the most perfect because I'm a bubble. *nods*)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: They find you irritating, but they're not really angry at you, because there are bigger things to be angry about, like skyscrapers.
I mean, at least you're not scraping the sky.
I LIKE the sky. :(

(Um, that was mostly hunter speaking, there . . . :P)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*Hunter

#ChaseFOrBookNine

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

BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE

Noelle said...

(Flora! *hugs*

And still, Star... I hate being irritating.)

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

Ravel: Zaf...?

*is kissing him*

Noelle said...

*She pours herself some soup into a bowl, Picking up a spoon*
*She glances at the empty table around her, remembering a time when those seats would have been filled. The loneliness gnaws at her like a bloodthirsty creature*
*Pushing her bowl away, she buries her head in her arms against the table*

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: YES! :)

@Adra: They irritate each other. :P It's fine. :)

And look, they're pretty used to being shipped. They've had people shipping them for many decades, so you'd thought people would think we'd have got the message and approached the subject now, and we HAVE approached the subject multiple times, and we've come to the conclusion that we don't like like each other, and DAMN, people can be so stupid sometimes.
Hunter, stop typing with my hands.
Would you prefer me to type with your toes?

. . .
My point being, they're used to it. :P Sometimes they meet someone new, and then sooner or later the new person gives them this look, and at that people Hunter and Ez glare at them and synchronisedly say something like "We're not romantically involved, and we're not planning to be romantically involved. We've had decades of people thinking we are, so after all that time you'd have thought we'd have discussed this, and we have, and we've come to the conclusion we don't want to be romantically involved, so you can stop looking at us like that."

It doesn't translate quite smoothly from the thought-speak of my head to words. I might have to tweak the words a bit.

But my point is, they're used to it. It doesn't bother them as much as it used to. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

(I'm terrified to see how they we're when they used to be bothered)

Star Inkbright said...

It's odd. You think you think in words, but when you're thinking of a story, so much more of it is visual than you realise, even when you're hearing people think about the visuals, and often you don't actually think the words, you just often think the intent and have a few words floating along with it, and it all makes perfect sense because the intent is there, but when you're writing, you have to fiddle with the words to make them show the intent . . . and in your head, you can just blur past so many details ("Details blurry, lost them too early
Welcome to the family
Not long ago, you found the answers were so crystal clear . . ."), but when you're writing, you have to grab them and straighten them and make them all make sense . . . you have to actually construct the scene around you, rather than just wishing it into place.

Yeah . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*Adra pushes away from the table to go outside, grabbing her cloak. The snow crunches underneath her feet*
*She kneels by the two stones in the ground, pulling her good up over herself*

Noelle said...

((... Whoa))

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Well, you see, they act so much . . . like, everything they do, they don't mean it, even when they do. And you can't really put it into this-is-acting this-is-real very well, because it's all tied together.
Like, all the white holds on the rockclimbing walls go grey with dirt, and all the black holds on rockclimbing walls go white with chalk, so when you're climbing a wall with both of thme telling them apart if a nightmare ("Now your nightmare comes to life . . .")
So they act more bothered than they are, now, sometimes (here, at least), but before they were often pretending not to be bothered . . . although often they weren't. Idk.

Obviously, also, the longer they knew each other, the more shippable they became.

And if they're at work, they can just threaten people, and when they were places with people that wasn't work, they were constantly acting anyway . . . although they're more themselves when they're not at work, beacsue they act there too.

It's like, at work they act to hide themselves, and then not at work they act to hide the self they are at work.

And they're both parts of them.

. . .

I think I invented characters who act so much because I'm really honest with who I am, although you never really know who you are, and you change depending on the situation and stuffs, and that;s always fascinated me, so . . . :P

*grey

The white is grey and the black is grey.

It's so irritating. D:

Noelle said...

(I think they're just lovely okay okay I will make sure they are together forevereeeeeeereeeerrrrrrrr even if they aren't a couple.)

Noelle said...

(:P I don't think Trip's coming back...)
(That's so true)

Star Inkbright said...

Yes.

So when they were at work, they mostly just threatened people, and when they weren't, they were often pretending to be different people so that was okay, or trying not to attract attention.

Although, they probably did get very bothered.

That's very interesting to think about, actually.

You know, I need to go to sleep like NOW, so I think I'll think of that when I'm trying to go to sleep. :)

Fours!

What are you studying?)

*Adra comes in and walks straight for the kitchen, to fetch herself another bottle of vodka*
*Priya blocks her way*
*She frowns* Priya, get out of my way. *moves to go around the girl*

*Priya glares at her* "Adra, one night is enough. You're smarter than this, and you of all people know that alcohol is a depressant and will only make you feel worse!"

*Adra shakes her head* Not the stuff I'm getting. It isn't a depression, it's morphine for the mind.

*Priya blocks her second attempt to go around her.*

Priya...

*The other girl pushes Adra back so she's sitting on the couch* *She signs to her* "Adra, you have to let me take care of you, not supplements."

*Adra crosses her arms*

*Priya kneels down next to her* "Adra, when I first came to after you saved me from the front lines of the war, you stayed with me for months, making sure that I was okay. Since then, all I have seen you do is take care of people. That's what you do.... I know it's hard that you don't get a lot back, but please... Once in a while, you have to be taken care of, too."

(Bye Flora! Sleep well *waves*)

*Slowly, Adra nods at what Priya's saying, and her friend nods firmly, before disappearing into her room, the door shutting behind her*
*Adra slowly rises to her feet to collect her dinner, but finds her meal to be cold, and she wraps it up to eat for another time*

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

*Adra wakes up on the floor*

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

*walks around my room looking for a dress* What are the odds of Adra willing to help me find a dress?

Noelle said...

*She gets up, more and more confused*
*Her stomach growls, and she nods* Low... Blood sugar... *She dives into her cabinet and begins to go at her food*

Noelle said...

*Gnawing at the food, she feels a little better*
*She glances out the window*
*She retreats again, wiping her eyes, doing her best to hide her puffy and red eyes*

*She pulls a cashmere sweater on to cover her arm*

(Adra. Help. Guy I like had my number. He gave me his just now. What. Do I. Do!!!!!

Nevyar Amberite said...

Ànd ëllœ my people

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

Ravel: awake? Amazing.

Hey *kisses*

Ravel: *kisses back* in a loving mood eh?

So you say

Noelle said...

(Hello Nev)

*She closes her eyes at the snow, hissing slightly*

Sir said...

*suddenly blinks, realizing that he has no idea of how much time has passed*
*goes to check his pocket watch, but it isn't there*

...

IKEA cultists? HONESTLY?

Noelle said...

*Laughs slightly at Sir* They rise

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

Ravel: so you say my love....*takes and sits her down*

Hey!

Ravel: how do you feel?

Sick

Noelle said...

*She sits, her hand already turning red from the cold*

Ah....

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

Ravel: you always feel sick

I am....I truly am'

Ravel: *pulls closer* Well I got you

Sir said...

*ducks behind a nearby washing machine, as he hears someone approach*

*it is a man, yet not a man*
*his eyes are vacant, unblinking, constantly staring forward*
*he shuffles in a bizarre, inhuman fashion, one leg dragging behind him*
*his coarse hair is unbrushed, and in fact, he looks (and smells) as if he has not washed in weeks*
*yet, worst of all is that he is wearing a purple shirt under orange overalls, and a tie*
*his name tag reads 'Hi, my name is Uuuuuugh'*

Ah, I stand corrected. IKEA /zombies/.

Though I suppose there are a few cultists raising them up.

...

I wonder what having respectable foes is like.

Noelle said...

*She looks around for Sir*

Noelle said...

(Oh my gods I'm sobbing Sir)

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

And I'm glad

Ravel: i love you.

Love you too

Ravel: this...date tomorrow, I'll get you from work?

Oh gods....

Ravel: I'm allowed there?

I never said act against you

Noelle said...

Si

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

I dedicate this page to not dying of boredom. Oh and to Rose that she is enjoying her sugar rush, ah the Aussies. Love 'em. Also to the lunatics here.

Noelle said...

*She takes her hand out, and cautiously wraps her knuckles up* *She gets shakily to her feet*

Sir said...

Well, I suppose I should save the neighborhood and burn down this blasted establishment.

*blinks*

Wait, from what? It is hardly like these lobotomized individuals could survive long in a location without at least 2 pieces of houseware in a surrounding cubic meter.

*walks out of the store's fire exit, whistling merrily as the alarms go off*

Noelle said...

(*raises the glass* Hear hear)

*Adra hears alarms in the distance*
*She carefully walks towards it*

Jophiel said...

(*Giggles and raises her bowl of lollies* Here here!))

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

*jumps* Alarms!

Ravel: outside now cam down Zaf *hugs closely until both fall asleep*

(Zaffy sleep

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

(Heya Aussie

Noelle said...

(okay, Zaf. Nighty night. Sleep well. *waves*)

*She holds her hand closely to the side*

Sir said...

An excellent dedication, Ms. Kerias.

*sees Ms. Dark, and gives her a short nod in greeting*

You hardly wish to go that way, Ms. Dark, it is just an IKEA. Most likely with the dullest cultists you shall ever meet, but still.

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

(Rose before i sleep i gotta say we need to finish our MC chapter

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

(Zaffy sleep now

Noelle said...

*She looks confused* I... I'm not sure I want to know.

Sir said...

It wouldn't affect any aspect of your life if you did, anyhow.

In any case, how are you, Ms. Dark?

Noelle said...

I... I'm fine, thanks... How are you? You appear to be particularly... Jovial today. If that's even the correct word.

Sir said...

You used the word correctly, have no fear, Ms. Dark.

In any case, I just nearly avoided indoctrination into a mind-numbingly dull cult, so I believe I have some reason to act as such.

Noelle said...

Well... Yes, I should expect so. Rule number one is- never join a cult without blood initiation.

Sir said...

Quite, Ms. Dark.

Noelle said...

*She clears her throat*
I-
*Pauses*
*laughs* Nevermind. Care for some tea?

...

It hasn't any vodka in it

Sir said...

...
Well, that was a bit of a non-sequitur.

In any case, no thank you.

Noelle said...

*She shrugs, pulling out a thermos, and drinking from it*
So- any advancements in your search for people found in the snow?

Jophiel said...

(*Evil laugh*

Noelle said...

(...I'm afraid of clicking that link)

Sir said...

Thankfully, I have found no one yet, Ms. Dark.

Noelle said...

That is good to hear... *She feels her hand give a slight throb, and she winces, looking at it*

I apologize that our conversation has been brief... But I appear to have to go back to my lab to tend to my injuries, and... Well, it's quiet boring, so I might have to leave you for a bit

Sir said...

...

Injuries? Oh, for stars' sake, Ms. Dark. Well, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Noelle said...

*She smiles* Thank you, Sir, much obliged. Goodnight, I suppose... And rest well, when you do..

*She gives a slight curtsy before going into her lab, and to her bag, sitting with it and getting to work, acutely aware of the hole in the wall.*

Sir said...

Indeed.

Hrm, what to do...
*stops himself from looking back at the IKEA*

Noelle said...

*She hums for a bit as she sets the knuckles of her hand, wincing every so often as she accidentally hits the break*
*She eventually gets it set in the correct place, and wrapped up*
*She retreats off to her quarters, skipping the change of clothes and going right to bed, where she will lie, awake, for many hours to come*

Noelle said...

*Priya, from the balcony of the lab, aims a snowball gun at Sir, before firing multiple times before retreating back inside, laughing*

Noelle said...

*Priya draws up a rather good picture of Sir as a snowman, folds it up, and sticks it into a snowball, before firing that at him as well*

Sir said...

*frowns as multiple snow balls pepper the ground around him*
*turns*
*and is treated to a snow ball directly to the face*

...

Noelle said...

*Priya covers her mouth, realizing that she got a headshot*
*She hits the deck, doing her best to not laugh*

Sir said...

*sighs, and brushes the snow ball off of his face*

Noelle said...

*She figures that the paper got lost somewhere in the snow, and sighs*

Sir said...

...

Harrumph, frightfully rude.

Noelle said...

*She nods in agreement, aware that he most likely can not see her* *she lays perfectly still, save her wiggling toes*

Sir said...

*rubs the bridge of his nose, and sighs again*

Noelle said...

*Suddenly terrified, Priya wiggles back towards the door*

Sir said...

*carefully surveys the area*

Noelle said...

*Quietly, she opens the door, and it makes the loudest humanly god-awful door squeak*
*She goes the rest of the way in and dives underneath a mattress*

Sir said...

...

Hrm.
*walks away*

Noelle said...

(Actually, I do apologize, I really must go get my rest now. I hate to leave you, but... Yeah. :/

And if you so wish to happen upon the paper, I forgot to mention that the words "ha ha" were written underneath the picture of the Snowman-Sir.

So yes.. Goodnight! *hugs*)
