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.

NIALL AND BARBRA AREN'T GOING OUT ?!!?!?!?!?!!>[_^_?_*[_?>*>??£*€?
it'S A BEAUTIFUL DAAAAYAYYQYAYQYAYAYAY AND I CAN'T STOP MYSELF FROM SMILINGGGGG
worst thing i have ever done:
joined the directioner fandom
best thing i have ever done:
joined the directioner fandom
Idek what i'm doing anymore sorry
@Mara: That's like life. :) Positives equal negatives.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mara: Nobody really knows what they're doing. :) Like Taia said, maybe it doesn't matter where you're going, so long as you're going. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
"I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been"
@Adra: :)
#ChaseForBookNIne
NINE DYAS TILL CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSs.
#ChaseForBookNine
why is it that everyone can be an asshole towards me and that's perfectly fine but the minute i have had enough and act like an asshole it's all of a sudden not okay
Because society is a hypocritical force and those who think they're in power like to stay that way.
@Mara: It's not okay that people can be assholes towards you.
Not according to me, anyway.
But the other answer is - because life is unfair. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Adra's answer was much better . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Less than a week to my Blogversary...
Whoa...
#ChaseForBook9
FABI
OMG
@Lantern: O_O O_O
Yaaaaaaaaaay! :)
Mine's in January. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah...
It doesn't feel like a year.
Truth be told, I still feel like a newbie most of the time...
At the same time, though, it feels like I've been here forever.
Or less than a day and it's all a dream and none of you are real.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm part of your imagination
Damn
Your imagination is wild..
I'm not going to lie, the most narcissistic thing that I've ever thought is that everyone is my imagination, and you all just think that you are real, but you aren't, and what I see is just for me holla.
@Lantern: *hugs*
I think the third option sounds cool. :)
A year is an immense amount of time.
Two years is longer.
It's slightly scary. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: *laughs* Very wild. :)
In my story . . . my other one . . .
. . .
Actually, I'm not saying that. :) Spoilers.
#ChaseForBookNine
I think we all have sides that don't believe the world exists when we aren't there to see it.
My dreams always have history to them, though. It's so detailed it's almost scary.
And then I try to explain them to people and they think I'm weird. Not that that's bad. Or that they wouldn't anyway.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Lantern*
Being weird is cool. :)
And - detailed dreams are good. :) Detailed imagination, yeah?
#ChaseForBookNine
MY TUMMY IS ROARING
Sudden. Pain. In. Stomach...
FOOD IS NEEDED!!
*Races out to the kitchen and starts cooking ham on the fry pan*
I s'pose.
Food... Blaaaahh...
#ChaseForBook9
I need to nourish my tummy
Hello! How are you guys?
...is anyone on? Is it just me?
Hello Amethyst
Yay! I'm not alone! Hello! How are you?
...how come no one answers? ...I think I might leave now. Bye!
...
Good grief. Goodbye, then.
Hi/bye?
#ChaseForBook9
My thoughts exactly.
*Adra sits in her hammock, four floors above the ground*
Fabi isn't really doing anything interesting...
#ChaseForBook9
Neither is Adra...
(omg fandoms)
Hm...
#ChaseForBook9
(Yes?.. Wanna rp?)
((I'll be distant, but I can try..))
#ChaseForBook9
(Have you Americans ever seen fruit products (purée mainly) from a company called SPC?))
*(and canned fruit and sometime soup...))
((I don't think so... Haven't been to the grocery store in ages, though.))
#ChaseForBook9
(Okay! Thank you! ))
Oh why hello there!
(No, I haven't
SORRY I HAD TO GET SOMETHING FABI)
*Adra swings gently in her hammock again, sighing*
((Hi Em! [hugs]))
((Still distant, sorry.))
#ChaseForBook9
((It's okay, Adra.))
[Fabi walks over]
Hi...
[She offers Adra a red envelope]
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra slides down a pole to the ground*
*She looks at it, carefully taking it* Thank you..?
[Smiles awkwardly]
It's a Christmas card. I made one for everyone...
#ChaseForBook9
(Em!! I'm sorry that i fell asleep last night!!))
OH... *She smiles brightly* Thank you, Fabi! *hugs her, then opens the envelope, then the card*
I just went on Twitter and they're all talking about how sad Skulduggery is because he doesn't have a dick.
So I immediately left Twitter and came here instead.
HI!
[hugs back]
((Card is a glitter-picture of Adra ice-skating in her Requiem Ball outfit.))
((it just says "Merry Christmas and thanks. --Fabi.))
((She's always been rubbish at cards like that.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Sorry, Adra, my mom came home and had to go over my to do list with me and see what I'd done.))
((I see.))
((Hello Duck.))
#ChaseForBook9
*She smiles* Fabi, it's beautiful. *hugs her tightly*
HOLY SHITCI MADE IT TO STATES ON MY THING FOR FBLA OMG IM GOING TO HERSEY

OMG I MADE IT
*cries* I made it.....omg......
H-hi Duck I'm in shock

Hello Duck, Zaf.
[Smiles as well and hugs Adra back]
((Hi Zaf!))
#ChaseForBook9
...and now I have to go do some work
..bye bye...
.......for now.
(Bye Duck!)
Can I get you something to eat or drink, Fabi?
((Bye Duck.))
Sure. What do you have?
#ChaseForBook9
...What are you thirsty for?
[Shrugs]
Something warm, like a tea or cider would be lovely.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi sorry I just ranked 4th in the regional test for Business Communications so i get to go to Hersey in April for the competitions there and Sunday we go to Hersey Park the entire day
*She nods, going to the kitchen to get the cider, and one for herself*
((Congratulations, Zaf.))
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks, Adra...
#ChaseForBook9
(Thanks omg im so excited)
*lays with Ravel* msd almost at my school
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHGHGHGHGHGHGHHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
*She nods, and smiles* Have you had dinner yet?
No, not yet.
((I'm sorry, Mom just scheduled a doctor's appointment in twenty minutes because it was the only available time.))
((I'm basically gone...)
#ChaseForBook9
Lemme make you something, then...
(Okay.
My Aunt just named her kid- they know what she'll be...
Get this.
Lila- Mae :D)
(Don't criticize what people name their children Adra, they're their child, not yours. Just quietly mumble about it behind their back!)
Herrow.
#ChaseForBook9
(What?? No! ITS ADORABLE SOUTHERN BELL!!!
Hi)
(Ya, no I wasn't criticizing, I was going to love it anyway, and it sounds like something out of Little House on the Prairie...)
(Also, I would like to point out that you talked about the Egyptian 'revolts' at the top of the page. This is incorrect terminology, they are still currently protests.
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra carefully climbs back up to her hammock with her cider, trying not to spill it, and setting it on a rafter above*
(OH- apologies. Well, I couldn't think of the correct word, and it was the closest thing that I could think of... My brain's a little fried from studying so much)
(Sorry, I'm very pedantic.)
#ChaseForBook9
(No harm done, friend. *nods* *nodding* *noddles* *LeonardNimoySingingTheBalladOfBilboBagginsCreys*)
*She pulls out her knitting and, after a minute, obviously knits, humming a Christmas song*
*Creepily sneaks up on Adra and taps her on the shoulder*
(I don't think I want to know what that last one was.)
*is currently in a mysterious magical market, doing Christmas shopping*
#ChaseForBook9
Herrow Saph.
#ChaseForBook9
*squeezetackleglomps Trip* I haven't seen you in ages!
*Adra is four stories high in a hammock*
*Screams in fright, flipping the hammock over, hanging on to it*
SAPH
*hangs there*

(YOU DO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS IT IS THE BEST NERD VIDEO EVER AND YOU WOULD LIKE IT TOOOOO BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HOBBIT)
*Flips Adra back the right way up and runs for her life*
I'll look at the video, but I'm also reading Fall of Five XD
*wanders around, looking for some semi-decent Christmas presents*
(You realise hobbits aren't my life right? They're just my favourite fantasy creature. But fine, give me a sec.)
*is squeezetackleglomped*
I know I've just had so much stuff on! I haven't had any time these past few weeks. But I'm here now! It's good to read you, how've you been?
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra sighs, laying back down, and watches the ground far below*
*She pulls out her phone to bother Trip*
*remembers that SHE STILL DOESN'T HAVE HIS NUMBER*
GODDAMN
*Laughs* I haven't been on much recently either, mainly because I go a bit strange in the summer holidays. You?
There are so many weird things in my life, I can't really pick the weirdest.
But that video is definitely a contender XD
(It's making me smile so much)
Well, it's winter up here in the northern hemisphere, so it's just the christmas break or something, I've no idea what they call it. But yeah, I've been fine, I got a little stressed at one point, then I laughed because I'd gotten stressed and got on with my life.
Adra. Why would you show me that? I will never be able to see Leonard Nimoy without thinking of that song.
Damn you...
#ChaseForBook9
(Wait until you try to fall asleep, and it'll keep you awake. *ruffles his hair* hah.)
*Snorts at Sherlock fanfictions* Wow, I'm seriously multi-tasking today o_O
But seriously, if you know the slightest thing about Sherlock, read this; https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6253167/1/A-Brief-Account-Of-Life-With-Zombies
(The URL scares me)
*She looks at her knitting*
To hell with it. *She tosses it to the side, and stands up, drinking her cider*
*She looks around*
*She looks at her dress, far below, and tries to reach for it*
*She obviously fails*
Home now
*Coos at the barest suggestion of Tadra*
Adra; So it should >:) It's probably my favourite Sherlock fanfiction. I'm still laughing :D
Zaf! *hugs*
(I've always wondered how exactly "cooing" sounds...)
(And hello, Zaf)
Then listen to a pigeon ;)
(WHy do humans make THOSE NOISES I MEAN)
It's the kind of sound you make when an adorable puppy puts its front paws on your knees and gives you the big-innocent-eyes-look.
(....I usually hear "AWWWWW"... And that sounds more... Boisterous than a 'coo')
*Adra looks up, remembering that she left her shawl on the snowman in front of the bar*
*She slides down her really cool pole and skips the jacket, running outside to retrieve her shawl*
(*is excited* Snow tomorrow!)
(Again?)
*Dangles upside down and reads book*
*She frowns at the snowman*
Right...
*She tries to remove it's head*
(I've got a feeling Trip fell asleep... Meh. *hugs* Night Trip!)
(2-4in tomorrow....basically no school and my team lost in volleybal but its double elimination so it isn't too bad...)
*ruffles Trip's hair if he's really gone*
(I hope you know, but you're gaining more days at the end of the year with these snow days.... Or you'll still go to school on minor holidays...)
*She kicks the snowman's head off, grabs her shawl, and runs back*
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Blogland.
*Stops, seeing Sir* *Waves* HULLO THAR
Sir! *tackleglomps*
(Adra I had 3 snow days....its common here
...
Quite.
Greetings, Ms. Dark, Iota, and Kerias, as well as possibly but not probably Mr. Castalan.
Here it's snowed once in fifty years.
And that once, naturally, was the year I moved here. Snow seems to follow me around (Not person-Snow)
(I had two- what I'm saying is that they'll tack the lost days onto the end of the year, whether or not it's common. Schools are required by the state to have a certain number of days in school... Unless your school planned for them and have them built in, but I know many schools don't..)
*Waves to Sir again* Sorry for having to go so abruptly... I was tired and had a lot to do still..
Ms. Dark, I hardly hold you at fault.
Saph- it's in your nature :P
And- okay. *Curtsies*
...
You realize that you hardly have to do that, Ms. Dark, correct?
Of course. Even the weather loves me :P *strikes a pose*
Just kidding ;)
(Its fine for us we're okay. It always happens so we all plan at least a week extra. It is what it is I'm not concerned once I finish finals I go home. I don't go back after I do my finals so I take a day off anyway. I'm not concerned as its common and all)
I do, but it's fun to go back to the 1700s. My mother took a baroque dancing class, you see, and she would often bring me along, and it was great to see all the beautiful dresses that were worn, and the tailored suites with the coattails and the canes...
It was awesome. I felt like I'd stepped back in time...
And curtsying just reminds me of it. But if it's annoying, I can stop.
Dammit, my laptop's on really low power :( Msd
Ah, so your school has a week built in... That's nice, to be prepared and all.
And of course Saph
*walks outside* Hmmm...
*hugs Saph if she leaves*
...
*frowns very slightly*
Hardly, Ms. Dark.
Well then I'm glad to hear that..
(Well we have it always tentative the last day. So we all know you can expect a week off so...)
Indeed.
*She half-shrugs, going to the fire to warm up*
*stands with his arms crossed, watching*
And how are those injuries?
*takes Ravel's hand*
Ravel: Hello my love.
*kisses cheek*
Ravel: I love this
*She looks at her hand*
Healing. Slowly.
(Sorry for the delay- I was emailing)
a
Well, I do suppose that is pleasant news.
*She nods, then gestures to the many other seats* Please, sit!
*smiles* What shall we do?
Ravel: Oh we can work on your reports.
Yeah true. *shrugs*
Ravel: any good?
Yeah its okay *lays head against*
Ravel: *kisses cheek* sleep my love
Oh, blast.
Very well, I dedicate to taking things slowly, there is a beauty to it, yet some times it seems many forget that there is a pace besides rapid.
No thank you, Ms. Dark.
*Raises her glass* Hear hear!
And as you wish
... Yes, I do.
Yeah. *Whistles a Christmas song as she tends to the fire*
*Realizes that it's Christmas music*
*Stops*
*She finishes tending to the fire, and sits on the edge of the stones, her knees half up, getting as close as she can to the fire, trying not to get hot ash thrown at her*
...
*frowns*
*she taps her hands on the stone instead, breaking off a piece, and carefully kneading at it into her hand, as if the rock were putty*
*She sculpts a small cat*
*shadow-walks us inside* there.
Ravel: *has Christopher soon* the baby is happy
*She looks at the sculpture, then draws a little symbol into the rock*
*She touches it, and it lights up blue, and a stone sphere separates itself from the stone, forming smoother as it gets larger- to about hand-sized*
*She places that cat on top of the stone ball, and with the touch of her finger, melds them together*
*She places it aside*
*raises his eyebrows*
*She crosses her legs, playing more with the stones, still practicing her newly-developed symbols*
*She pauses, then draws a new one*
*From the rocks, a small figurine of a woman forms, made from- obviously- stone*
*The small figurine moves around, as if she were shooting archery*
*Adra tries to pick the moving figure up, but the second she leaves the boundaries of the circle, she crumbles into little pieces*
*Adra huffs, letting the rocks fall aside and looking at her notes*
I see
Christopher: *keeps watching Momma*
*takes him* Hey baby...did Olivia watch you?
Olivia: I took good care with Lexi's help.
Hello...
(Hello, Fabi!)
...
Ms. Dark, perhaps you should leave the art of imitating life for another day.
(Mmm im tired so good night
((Oh dear. I left my character randomly floating around again...))
((Sorry...))
#ChaseForBook9
(Night Zaf)
Ah, that's what they all say, Sir. If people kept saying that, then we'd never get anywhere, would we?
((Night, Zaf!))
#ChaseForBook9
On having one of those amazing days. My six year old fish just jumped down the drain when I was switching his water. I told mum that I can't do it and she still made me do it. Fucking great.
I'm sorry to hear that, Rose...
Harrumph, Ms. Dark.
My deepest condolences, Ms. Rose.
((:-( [hugs Deathy] ))
((Um, I'm gonna assume Fabi got an urgent phone call earlier and disappeared, just so I know where to put her.))
[Reappears, her eyes slightly red]
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra looks down at her word, then smells a faint incense*
*She blinks a few times, her eyelashes fluttering*.... oh...
*Faintly* Be back in a bi-
*Her eyes roll back and she falls off into the snow, unconscious*
[Rushes over to Adra]
[Mumbles to self something about not knowing what to do and maybe getting her out of the snow would be good]
#ChaseForBook9
*blinks*
Well, that's a tad odd. Just a tad.
*She blinks*
Well..
That was shorter than usual. Thank gods I didn't fall into the fire.
[Steps back, awkwardly, as Adra seems to know what's going on and probably doesn't need help]
[Not that she could help, if Adra needed it]
#ChaseForBook9
...
And what, Ms. Dark, exactly was that?
*She sits up, rubbing her head* Conference call. Honestly, though. The nerve of some people.
Oh...
#ChaseForBook9
...
Conf-
*shakes his head, and sighs*
*leaves it at that*
((My animation is done! :D))
#ChaseForBook9
It's okay, Sir. It's good to be appalled. I wouldn't blame you.
*She gets to her feet, doing her best to not fall over, accidentally bumping her hand on the pit*
*She winces*
Ah....
I'm sorry, but I have to depart for the night. Good evening.
*Curtsies, and walks for her lab, cradling her arm*
*She sits on the chair outside and smells the faint aroma of incense again*
*She collapses*
[Quietly tiptoes away]
[Hides]
#ChaseForBook9
...
Good evening.
Harrumph.
((Bye people who left...))
#ChaseForBook9
hurumph. i think i like this better.
Hello.
:-)
#ChaseForBook9
hey fab. *pokes* how goes it?
It goes okay.
Um.
Sort of.
I finished my animation, though!
#ChaseForBook9
:) cool.
You?
#ChaseForBook9
Also, I found a sort of reboot of Glitch that's missing a lot of details and stuff, but lets you walk around all the locations and stuff! :D :D :D
