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.

Tarot: *looks surprised*
I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean . . .

*whispers into his ear*

Tarot: *eyes widen*
Ohhhhh.
*shakes his head*
No, I'm not a Dead Man. I'm a dead man.
*sticks his left hand through his spleen*
See?

(I feel extemely bad now....I feel bad for even wanting to as to take John to the Ball...*frowns*


*looks extremely grossed out* Ewww okay wow I'm a Necromancer I can revive you fully

Sir said...

*idly plucks a blade of grass from the ground*
*pauses, and sniffs deeply*
Ah, good, you're not screaming in pain, then.

Noelle said...

*Feeling tears prick at the sides of her eyes, she puts her arm under warm water, almost screaming*
*She bites her lip, drawing blood*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(No y'alls can't, Z-Gurl. Bro's an echo-stone, yo, and bro's gotta stay dead as heck all 'cause bro's gonna be like totally PLOT POINT, of' shizzle.)

Noelle said...

(Heh... Blade of grass)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*clutches head in her hands*
Writing that gave me a migraine.)

Sir said...

It is a lovely term, Ms. Dark.

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

(Oh...nows I know...I believe I'm out of it today)

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

(*cackles* The blade! Te grass!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((There is no need for negative emotions of any kind on your behalf, Zafira. There is nothing to be done for it, and you've done nothing wrong.))

*appears in the midst of the ice, waving a book excitedly around in the air* *laughs wildly* Ahahahaha!! I found it! I found it!

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

Reading it had a similar effect. I pray you never weaponize those talents, Ms. Barnosky.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Dear God, I'd kill myself and all my loved ones if I weaponized that talent.
*locks it in a lockbox*
*tucks it out of sight*)

*gasps*
*slips on the ice*
Niccolo!

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

Ahem. Niccolò have you lost your mind? (I'm really thinking trying to get John's name through y'know. I'm determined...I have legit spent the snow days thinking of ways!

Noelle said...

*She carefully brings her hand from the warm water, drying it off, and putting some ointment on the scar to help with the burn as it stings and throbs*

*She shuts her eyes tightly*

Noelle said...

*Faintly, she recalls the echo of the voices talking* *Her lip wobbles and she begins to cry quietly*

Sir said...

*blinks, as from a distance all he sees is a teleporting, book-waving Mr. Croatoan*

*contemplates walking over*
*decidedly decides to decide against it*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*whirls around* Precocious! *blinks, confused* Why are you falling?

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *steps in front of Precocious's splayed-out form*
*although it doesn't do a scrap of good*
What is the meaning of this, good sir?

The Grave of a Coward said...

It's fine, Uncle! I was just startled!
*curses*
I've been so twitchy these days.

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

Niccolò, what have you found crazy scholar?!

Noelle said...

*She runs back to her medical room, finding actual bandages to cover her arm with*
*She falls down in the corner, burying her head in her hands, on the verge of losing it again*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*turns and yells towards Sir* Hello, good Sir! Wonderful news! *waves the book in the air with even greater vigor*

*addresses Tarot* Well, as you may not have known, I was missing something, and now I've found it! *laughs again* Ah, this is wonderful!

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *leans down to Precocious*
*whispers* He's a lunatic.

As am I.

Tarot: Ah.
*straightens up*
Well, that's alright then.

What have you found, my good Niccolo?
*sits up*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*to Zafira* *appears positively thrilled* I found a sock! A single, bright blue sock! *waves the book around again* Inside this book, of all places!

#ChaseForBook9

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

Niccolò, if you...start hugging people I reserve the right to offcially declare you insane

Sir said...

*blinks*
*and sighs*
Oh, blast. This means I have to go out on the bally ice, doesn't it...

*sighs once more, in a put-upon manner, and walks towards the people*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I just want you all to know how hard I am laughing right now. Oh gosh.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

A....sock? And what is the....revalent matter of said sock in said book? *nods and speaks in Spanish to self* Yup he has lost his ever loving mind

The Grave of a Coward said...

*raises an eyebrow*
A . . . a sock? One sock?
Surely you need two in order to have a celebration?

Tarot: *nods*
Yes, what she said.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*replies to Zafira in rapid Cantonese* *waits eagerly for a response*

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Ari I just fell on the floor I can't breath from laughing I had to re-read that and I'm like....a....sock....the 1500's scholar is screaming about... A....sock...I cant breath!)

Sir said...

Not entirely. You see, if you are missing only one sock, than finding one other is certainly cause for celebration.

Noelle said...

*She fiddles with the small vial around her neck*
*She pops the cork, then downs the fluid inside of it in one little go*
*She nods, then falls to the floor*

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

Nic can you speak in English Italian Galic or Spanish? *cautiously goes to Nic and hugs him*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*clicks fingers*
*points at Sir*
You have a point, Sir.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*whispers, voice threatening to spill over with excitement* This sock may very well save the world. It is so BLUE!

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

Yet I quite doubt that is Mr. Croatoan's situation, my good Doctor.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I'm afraid I'll be force to depart in two hours, minus one hour, and then with one-half of one hour taken away again.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*forced)

Blue?
What's the significance of blue?

Tarot: I'm afraid I don't know.
But you should probably stand up, now.

Oh, yes, of course.
*stands up*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*spins Zafira in a circle, tosses her into the air and then catches her, setting her down* *points the book at the clearly grey and cloudy sky* And the sky is also so BLUE! There must be a correlation!

#ChaseForBook9

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

*very quietly to Sir and Precious* I realize he isn't in his right mind...did he take his meds this morning?

Sir said...

Ah, but Ms. Barnosky, are the second two time allotments in parentheses, as a single function? For that entirely changes the time you have left.

Noelle said...

*Her eyes open*

..

*Throws the vial as hard as she can at the wall, shattering it*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Good point, Sir. I've never been good at algebraic linguistics.
The first two allotments ought to be in parentheses, as a single function.
I believe.
Unless I am incorrect.
*looks concerned*)

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

*throughout the entire thing is extremely happy* But Nic that sky is grey! Woah...Nic *pokes* Did you accidently let a name out?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

BOO!!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

I am not certain what "meds" are, Zafira, but I can assure you that this is a groundbreaking discovery!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Hello, Jubi *waves*)

*Adra rubs the sides of her head*

And look at that.

I can't even off myself without something going wrong.

Sir said...

It hardly matters to debate particulars, in any case.

Now, we hardly know if the sock's shade is significant.

It most likely is not, but the point stands.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks at Niccolo*
*wonders if that's what she looks like to other people*
*looks down at her tramp-like appearance*
*nods sadly*

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

Niccolò, meds are medicine. Are you alright? That book is grey and blue socks are- what year is it?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*lets out a slight yell and jumps at Jubilance's "Boo", dropping the book* *stares at her, wide eyed in fear, then turns and sprints away*

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Welcome to the Blogland Madhouse which insane person would you like to speak to, Miss Glee?)

Noelle said...

*She crawls back to her corner, curling against the wall, feeling her hurt slink up upon her mind like a shadow in the corner of her eye*

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

*runs after Nic* Niccolò come here!

Sir said...

*frowns at the good Doctor*
Ah, how rude of me, I never properly greeted you two.

Greetings, my good Doctor and Ms. Kerias, you both look lovely as always. And who is this gentleman...?
*looks curiously at Mr. Tarot*


Greetings, Ms. Glee.

*sighs*

Hmmm
well if you MUST know.. I've always wanted to speak to those voices in my head... And, y'know, ask them why they wanted me to kill the guy standing in front of me in that line at the grocery store...

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

(Oh Hell no Nic is mine Annika. mine (ahem when i am asleep)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Wow. Oh wow. TAROT YOU LITTLE SHIPPER! I did not see that coming. Hm. *is still laughing wildly*))

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *glances at Precocious*
This is . . .

Yes, this is Sir Reingington.

Tarot: *bows low*
*in an elegant manner not used since the 18th century*
Pleased to meet you, Sir Reingington. My name is Doctor Tarot. I would shake your hand, but I am rather corporeally challenged at the moment.

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

(Well currently Mr. Insane Niccolò Croatoan is having a mental meltdown. He is unavalible. He needs his medications.)

Sir said...

I agree Ms. Tesla, Mr. Tarot seems quite devious like that.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I deleted the comment, but yes. I'm afraid Tarot is quite the little shipper.
*laughs*)

Noelle said...

*Her heartbeat begins to quicken, and she notices the early signs of an asthma attack. She gets up, running for her room and falls on the floor, gasping through her strangled tears*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Oh dear...
how unfortunate

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

(Oh god I'd love to see what he'd say if John and Zaf were near each other...that hasn't become a ship)

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

(I'm very sorry about Mr. Croatoan's condition. We shall be sending him back to his room.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*feels the weight of the blue echo-stone*
*heavy in her pocket*
*looks at Tarot*
*and wonders what it would be like to be corporeally-challenged*

Sir said...

...
*blinks*
Well, a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tarot.
*bows, equally lowly*
And perhaps you are simply more corporeal than the rest of us, and we simply have not caught up yet.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Very wise of you, Miss. Kerias.


And on that happy note, I MUST BE DEPARTING!!!!
So long my friends! *Supermegagoodbyetacklehugsofdoom*

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

(Bai Jubi!!)

Sir said...

Good bye, then, Ms. Glee.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *eyes widen*
*gives Precocious a sidelong look*
*opens mouth to say something*
*closes it*
*opens it again*
Um . . .

Yes?
*leans away from him*
Why are you looking at me like that?

Tarot: *takes a deep breath*
I think you should do it.

. . . What?

Tarot: *maintains purposeful eye contact*
I think . . . I think you should do it.
And soon. Start tonight.

What . . ?

Tarot: *glances at her echo-stone laden pocket*
*looks at her eyes again*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *quickly looks at Sir*
*and smiles*
That's a point of view I haven't heard before, Sir. May I call you Sir?

Noelle said...

(Goodbye, Jubi)

*She breathes into a bag, slowly getting her breathing back*
*Remembers Trip, and hopes she didn't wake him*
*She leans against the wall, absently crying*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*comes running back and grabs the book* I very nearly forgot this. *notices Precocious* Oh, hello. I've been looking for you, Miss Precocious. Provided that you do not mind the intrusion, I have heard tell that your name has been giving you some trouble, and although I can promise nothing, I may be able to assist you in some way, depending on what exactly your situation is.

#ChaseForBook9

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

*goes back and mutters something* *normal voice* Niccolò, is it wise? What if Alastair decides to come out? You do not seem to be in a state of...sanity

The Grave of a Coward said...

Tarot: *breathing heavily*
*excitedly*
*a new light in his eyes*
I . . . I don't know, Niccolo. I don't know!
*drifts a bit higher*
I . . . I think . . .
*holds out his arms to Precocious*
I . . .
I . . .

What?
*looks at him*
*shocked*
What?

Tarot: I . . .
I . . .
*slaps himself*
Of course!
I need Oscar Neurotic's cell phone address.

What!?

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

(AHAHAAH I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Maybe. NICCOLÒ I THINK I FIGURED OUT HOW TO SEPARATE JOHN AHAHA I DID IT maybe)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*laughs loudly* I've not been even remotely sane for over 500 years, Zafira. I've merely lost my ability to appear sane as of late.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Right... Er, I might just go for this evening... Goodnight. It was nice reading you.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

WHAT!?

Tarot: *swoops down*
Trust me! Trust me, please, trust me.

I . . .

Tarot: Promise me, alright?

What . . ?

Tarot: Promise you'll . . .
*looks at Niccolo*
*and Sir*
*and Zafira*
. . . do the Thing. Promise me you'll do the Thing.

Okay, okay, I'll do the Thing, but . . .

Tarot: *claps his hands together*
Thank you, thank you! Oh, Sweetheart, my Sweetheart!

*orange light blazes from Precocious's pocket*
*Tarot's time, for today, is up*

Tarot: Sweetheart, I think-
*vanishes*

. . .
*looks deeply shaken*

Sir said...

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Farewell, Adra!)

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

If you insist. Ahem. Well out of curiosity is it possible to keep a memory away from any of your names? Like a secret one of them can't know?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Alright- goodnight then, Adra. I hope I've not neglected you.))

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

*sighs*

Honestly. I'd have thought the week's bizarre would have stopped with the IKEA zombies...

*closes his eyes, and rubs the bridge of his nose*

Noelle said...

(Oh right... I've nearly forgotten.)

*Adra slides down the side of the wall, so she is lying horizontally*
*Her tears fall into the wood floors, and into the earth below*
*Her sleep is scarce, and when it does happen on her mind, it is riddled with shadows and darkness where Pain and Suffering resides*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Only one name? No. It would only be possible to block a memory from all of my names at once.

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks dizzy*
I . . .
I . . .

. . .

I should go . . .

Khasiis: Six days, six days, six days left!
Better be quick with that echo-stone!

*slips a hand into her pocket*
*clutches the blue echo-stone*
. . . I can do this.
I can do this.
*begins to walk away*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Precocious. I know your name is making contact with you, taunting you somehow. As I mentioned earlier, I cannot promise anything, but there is a chance that I may be able to assist you in some way. I can steal names, and on several occasions I've been able to manipulate them without changing them completely or stealing them. I may be able to do something of the sort for you.

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

*serenely*
*silently*
*in a world full of sweet, gentle orange light*
*a consciousness floats*
*quietly thinking to himself*

Tarot: Neurotic . . .
Neurotic . . .
It all comes down to him . . .
But . . . but what if I can't convince him . . .


(I must now depart, my friends.)

Sir said...

Ah, one moment?
*calls after the good Doctor*
In some cultures, it is entirely acceptable to serve pineapple-upside-down cake right-side-up!

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

(Night Anni)

So...if I asked you if theres a way I could take John to the Christmas Eve Ball and allow you to take Ari...would you block the memory of the conversation from the names? I want to surprise him if its possible

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Goodbye then, Annika.
Sir, although I hesitate to leave you on your own, I fear I must go as well.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Can I ask you then tomorrow Nic?)

Sir said...

Worry not, Mr. Croatoan, Ms. Kerias also remains. But I do suspect she shall also egress soon.

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

(I can stay up Sir I'm not going to be awake til about 8am tomorrow so I can easily stay up...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((I shall reply to this comment, Zafira, but then I simply must leave. My apologies for having to do so abruptly.))

I would have to block the memory from myself as well, and then I would have no knowledge that we had made such an arrangement. However, I am unsure of how such circumstances might be possible at all. I suppose I shall have to discuss this with you at a later date. Do enjoy the sock. *vanishes*

#ChaseForBook9

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

(Alright Nic! Whenever you come on again I'll talk to you about it)

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

(On second thought me bed calls)

Sir said...

If you insist, Ms. Kerias.

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

Liz's eyes spring open to find she's in a dark room, more of a closet, really. The ceiling is lower on one side than the other, so maybe it's a closer under the stairs. It's also empty. Liz is alone, unless you count a dusty hat stand in the corner and some clothes hangers.
As she sits up, she fully realizes how small the space is and her claustrophobia sets in.
She stands slowly. There' about an inch between her head and the ceiling, on the taller side. No space to do anything acrobatic. She looks for the door, then realizes that duh, that's where the little light is coming from. She pushes it open and finds that it is indeed a closet under the stairs, in a front room, in a house, which is very unlike a cell in a dungeon.

Bye Snow-sister *huggles*
*hugs Fabs back just as tightly*
Internet being its usual stupid self, so video's taking a while to load.

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

Okay...

[Threatens Internet with a glitter machete]

You don't have to watch it now, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I want to D:
Interesting. The Internet appears to be scared of your glitter machete- it's mostly behaving now XD

(Note to self; glitter effective threat against internet)

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

Yay! XD

Wbd, writing some Liz RP.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I should probably do my own RP, but I'm too lazy right now.

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

That's okay. I can keep up a conversation, too. Probably.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

We can try, but I haven't really been at my most sociable these past few weeks XD I think I'm beginning to forget what a conversation is.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I met my friends at the beach today (first time this summer! Yay!) but we didn't talk a huge amount. We did a lot of hand-signalling though, which felt a little strange.

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

"So you're awake."
Liz whirls around to face the same person who was outside her cell. It's a youngish guy with sandy blonde hair and dark eyes.
"Who are you?" Liz wonders briefly if she's being rude, then decides she doesn't care. This crazy random weird person might have just doomed Effie and/or Fabi. Not cool.
"You can call me..." He trails off, like he's deciding which alias to use.
Liz glares slightly. "Okay, don't answer that one. Why am I here?"
"I owe some people favors."
"Well, that's specific."
"Why don't you just talk to Effie? She's an illusionist. She can help you fake it or something."
"WHAT?"
"Her death. She can help you fake her death, so that Ioux will leave Ab-Fabi alone."
"Who are you, seriously?"
"You can call me Rook."
"No, who are you? Anyone can say any name."
Rook nods slowly, then shakes his head. "I'm not even sure how to answer that."

#ChaseForBook9

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

I've been less conversation-y as well...

Hand-signaling? Cool.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Rook.
That sounds like a good taken name/ alias... *muses*
I like how the plot's going so far, with all these twists and turns.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hah, thanks. It's pretty fun, especially when we get something wrong. I just love silence :)

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

[Nods]

It's actually the name he considers himself, though perhaps it would make more sense to the reader if he used one of his others...

Ack, I just actually watched my video, and the music's off! D:

Like, it's off by an even amount, so it sort of works, but I had it the way it was supposed to be for several months and it sounds wrong now. :-/

I redid the music because it sounded all static-y when I recorded it playing on my laptop..... I thought I checked it, but OH, THE TITLE. SHIT.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

It still won't play -_- Videos. No surprises there.
(Ignore that, Kiwi joke)
Eh, don't worry about the title.

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

That's what made the music timing off, though.

I suppose it's fine for everyone else, but IT IS NOT THE WAY IT HAS BEEN SINCE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OR WHENEVER I STARTED THIS THING.
IT TEARS AT MY EARS LIKE THAT OPERA SINGER'S VERSION OF SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN WHICH ISN'T BAD OR ANYTHING BUT THERE ARE ALL THESE EXTRA RUNS AND IT IS NOT HOW I HAVE HEARD THAT SONG FOR YEARS AND SO I CAN'T LISTEN TO THAT VERSION BECAUSE IT'S TOO WEIRD.
So I should probably not watch my own video again or it will drive me insane.

...

Sorry. It just really annoys me. :-/

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I know the feeling. Like when you learn a song off by heart, and then you hear someone else sing it and it just somehow sounds wrong.

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

Yeah.

Or if you've spent the past couple weeks learning a dance to a movie soundtrack suspense-ish piece and then you have to do the same steps to "Royals."

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Yep. Change is annoying and scary sometimes.

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

Liz waits.
"I mean," Rook continues thoughtfully, "I'm a lot of people in a lot of places, but just saying that sounds overdramatic and insincere."
Liz nods slowly. "So is there anything you can actually say?"
"Well..." Rook hesitates. "Although he isn't the reason I did it, Ioux did order me to rescue you."
"You take orders from him?"
"Theoretically. He'll likely stop by later today, so I'd recommend you clear the area. And don't go back to Hailey or any of your other enemies," he added. "Next time Ioux will probably break you out in person and use this armband he's invented..." Rook shuddered. "It's a last resort."
"Right." Liz nods slowly. "That was very informational."
"Sorry."

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yeah...

I'm used to my sister being taller than me, though, and not being able to wear my favorite sweat pants anymore without tying them really tight, and the kitchen remodel and some other stuff...

#ChaseForBook9

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

*very...Informational."

Msd, sleepy.

Roleplays are cool...
I don't get used to much. I don't like to be too attached to anything physical and breakable, even just symbolically. There's no one thing that my life revolves around.

Hope you sleep well :)

Night-night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs vote. :) (Don't ask.)

(But seriously, don't let them vote.)

Snow said...

AND WE CAN LEARN TO LOVE AGAIN!

Snow said...

ahem... i mean... hi

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

'Sup Snowy! *hugs*
Hey, where were you getting these title things from earlier?

Snow said...

7th sanctum.

Snow said...

msd, on sneakily XD

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Okay :)
I'm deciding between;

Chance of the Grave

Celestial Fire

The Seventh Architect Who Seals the Rogue

The Sacred Heroine

Gauntlet of Possibility

The Golden Grandfather with a Mouth of Sapphire That Holds the Key to the Crystal Tomb

The Caring Wanderer That Questions Lies

I'm leaning towards the last one

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Either of you still here?

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Apparently not.
*disappears*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Actually, no, I've had an epiphany and I'm staying on here because I might want to discuss it with some poor willing martyr.

Herrow? Anybody home?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hi there!

Noelle said...

-is ALWAYS lurking-

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*has nothing to say*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Fine then. How are you this...afternoon?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hungry. Yourself?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Anxious. And why don't you just get food?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Khasiis: Five days, five days, five day till-

Oh, shut up.
I'm just happy that Sir said I COULD serve pineapple upside-down cake right-side up.

(Hullo, Blogland.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I could, I just don't. Apathy strikes at inconvenient times.

Why are you anxious?
