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.

#ChaseForBook9
Bai Fabi
Bye Fabi!
Oh my goodness, we're making more trash tonight :D
Boy it sure is quiet tonight
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :)
It's quite, Adra? That's coz I'm not there. XD
It was quiet earlier, as well . . . it's usually quiet in the mornings, but seeing nobody from about one o'clock till about half four?
That's not usual. There's usually people on when I get home from school.
#ChaseForBookNine
*quiet
It's not quite Adra. It's very Adra. Although it's only half Adra now I'm here. :)
Well. Two thirds Adra. I count as two people because I'm a bubble and therefore really awesome. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello! Is anyone there?
Well.... I do suppose finals are going on. Or your equivalent, I don't remember if they're termed that. You all have different tests and things, I can't remember what's what.
Hi Amethyst! :)
Msd.
#ChaseForBookNine
I am math.
Hello Amethyst-*wave*
Oh alright, Star :/
Hello! How are you guys! Anything interesting going on?
Well, no. Not really :P we're boring.
What's this talk about tests? And finals? You guys have finals now?
@Adra: I don't have any tests at the moment . . . apart from my maths test and my English assessment and my history assessment . . .
Well, that's three, but still. :P
Science is in modules, so you get end-of-unit tests whenever you finish a module, which is every four weeks or summat . . .
English seem to sort-of stick to half terms.
I think history sticks to a term, judging from the fact we've fitted our unit/module/whatever into a term . . .
Maths I think go by half terms-ish.
Art is just constantly ongoing, so you don't really have assessments/tests.
What other subjects do I do . . . ?
Don't think we have tests/assessments in French or German. We have our speaking exam in January/February or summat, so we're just been working towards that.
And . . . is that all the subjects I do?
Anyway, we don't have regulated finals. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Amethyst: I'm English. We don't appear to have finals. :)
And - what's going on? Well, I'm a bubble. That's always been going on as long as I've existed, but it's still worthy of note due to its utter awesomeness. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
...wow. For me, this entire week was filled with Biology: lab report due today, multiple choice test wednesday, and free response friday... i am so tired
Well- I do. I go to a block-schedule school. I have four classes a day, where other people have 8, so I knish my classes in half of the time.
So yeah, finals are next week.
And then I get 4/5 more classes for the rest of the year after Christmas
But finals/midterms, they're the same
I feel ya, Amethyst.
It's crunch time for me..
I have finals near the end of January and I have 6 classes per day
What grade are you guys in?
@Amethyst: :( Poor you!
At least it's the holidays soon, though. :)
@Adra: How the hell do they have EIGHT??????????????? O_O O_O O_O
*has five lessons per day*
If you had EIGHT . . .
*divides five hours into eight*
*um*
*how many's that?*
*usues phone calculator*
0.625!!!
You would have . . . just over two thirds of an hour!!!!
Imagine how much time you would waste packing up and getting started! You would waste twice as much time as Adra wastes!!
#ChaseForBookNine
I have just my Spanish midterm next week
I'm a sophomore :)
I don't waste time...
Okay. Seven classes. They're all about 40-45 minutes
I'm a junior!
@Amethyst: Me being English, we don't have 'grades'. We have 'years'. I'm in year ten, and I'm fifteen. Other people in year ten may be fourteen.
I don't know what grade I'd be in if I lived in America. At one point, I was really getting on track with knowing all my Australian and America timezones and school systems, and now I just can't be bothered and I don't know anything. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
oh. well, it would make sense to not know other school systems. it would be hard to keep track of... im fifteen too!
Hi, Zaf! :)
Actually, I kind of know the sophomore/junior thing, because of American books. :P Well, I know it vaguely.
Most of the books I read seem to be American.
And if they're not American, they're usually Irish. :P
@Adra: No, but you have to put your stuff away, walk to a different classroom and get your stuff out again. *nods* If you didn't do that, you would have ten extra minute, about. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
So Star's...
Well.
I dunno. Freshman year is 14-15, and sophomore year is 15-16.. But the only reason why I'm a 14 year old sophomore is because I skipped..
But saying Star is a freshman doesn't sound right...
@Amethyst: Cool! :)
Meh. It is hard. That's why I don't bother. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
And no, we're good at switching.... It isn't that hard
Generally she'd be a freshman but it can be she's a sophomore
but im a 15 year old junior...
@Adra: When do you Americans START school?
In Switzerland, they start when they're like seven . . . O_O Which makes a lot more sense, actually. :) What are four-year-olds getting out of it?
#ChaseForBookNine
Also - when do you measure the years from?
Because if I was less than a month older, I would be in year eleven . . .
@Adra: Don't ask me what sounds right or left. :)
#ChaseForBooknine
Also, we can't skip or drop years. -_-
Which is a bit stupid.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey i have only 7 classes but 6 a day my last class is either PE or chorus i go every other day so yeah i dont switch any classes til 3rd quarter i take Drivers Ed instrad of PE and fourth i take Spanish Culture in place of Spanish 3
What classes do you guys take?
You can start at age 3 for preschool required schooling is age 8 but most start in Kindergarten age 5-6 where you learn basic math reading ect and all
I take Biology Honors English Spanish 3 World History Algebra 2 and PE and Chorus
I take US History, AP English Language, AP Stats, AP Bio, Pre-calc Honors, and Visual Imagery
I don't know, Star... Er. 1-12?
Also...
Classes.
Latin III
Geometry
Honours Literary Genres
(honours?) American Literature
Europe and the Middle East (history)
Asia, Africa, and the Americas (history)
Church and Sacraments
Biology
Forensics (the science)
Food and Nutrition.
Why is there a "u" in honor
No
Not like this
@Zaf: EIGHT??? O_O
okay
We have to start when we're four. -_-
But I was only four for a few weeks before I was five. :)
@Amethyst: Maths is compulsory, English is compulsory, science is compulsory (but I take triple science, not that that will mean much to you because Americanness, probably), PE is compulsory (once a week), Games is compulsory (once a week), RS is compulsory (once a week), IT is compulsory (once a week), and then I take history, art, French and German. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
so many...
I haven't heard that, Zaf...
Honour! :) :)
It looks really weird like 'honor.' O_O
Why you people all have interesting subjects? :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I'll have to leave soon. I think ill come back on tonight. so if you guys are still going to be on tonight ill see ya later!
@Amethyst: I probably won't as it's already half ten at night for me. :( Fours!
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay Amethyst! Bye!
And Since I am taking ten classes, I already get electives :3
Adra my mom works in the school thats why I know it's a certain age you need to have some form of education home school public/private cyber but its required and at age 16 if you have a full time job you can drop out of school but like....you just dont
My electives were Spanish 3 Chorus and Spanish Culture everyrhing else was required
The law's recently changed, and we have to stay in some form of education until we're eighteen . . . -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
That's a lot better than 16
@Adra: Meh.
We can leave school at sixteen, we just have to be in some kind of education . . .
And, it's like . . . we start earlier and finish later.
Although it's the starting earlier that I think's pointless.
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah we don't have sixth form we go from high school to college if you want or in high school kids go to a trait school we call it MCTI but its where you can get certified in some form of a trait my friend is in cosmotology
@Zaf: Okay. :)
Your system doesn't really make any sense or no sense, and ours is the same, sooo . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I think I might go to sleep now . . .
Fours! *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Night Star!
Night Starry!

*She looks at the glass table around her, and the bent metal from where she hit it from above*
*Her hammock is broken, and dazily swinging
*Lysander is grinning at her from the rafters*
*Her spine might have snapped in half*
*She touches the ground, and Lysander is thrown from the rafters and onto a table beside her, cracking it in half*
*She laughs*
(Oh joys...meh msd)
((Okay..))
*Tzipora looks at the two of them*
*She heals them*
*Adra and Lysander are laughing*

Night Meera!
To what you said above, Jazlyn.
I don't think wars are won with more war. If someone mocks you for their interests, you tell them that it's none of their damn business what you do with your life. They don't have control, and then you walk away.
But adding fuel to the fire will not stop the flames :)
Well
That's what I think
Kinda:3
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Blogland.
Hello, sir!
And...
Oh!
I'm sorry
I thought you were serious ::
Oh and Sir- I apologize for not answering. I seemed to be caught up in my composing again...
It is perfectly fine, Ms. Dark, I do not blame you in any way.
Well then. *curtsies* how are you?
Well enough, by a standard, Ms. Dark.
And how are you?
I'm happy- I've written about three sounds tonight :)
Granted, I didn't write them down, but they're recorded
And they sound beautiful!
Well that sounds wonderful, Ms. Dark.
Believe me- it is!!
Hmmm... *carefully grabs scissors at the mysterious van that keeps circling by our house*
...
Quite.
You do realize that it is entirely possible that the owner of the van is lost?
A
Sorryyy
A
Sorryyy
DAMN
MY PLANS HAVE BEEN THWARTED
...
Well, then. That certainly backfired upon you, Ms. Dark.
I live on a circle of a neighbourhood...
Next to two huge houses that are way too big for their own good.
Not to mention that our Next door neighbours got their home broken into last month
I'm just a wee bit paranoid
Well, Ms. Dark, if the persons in the van break in, you certainly are prepared.
I'm going to hit you. I know you're laughing. Stop it nooooo
Okay
I'd like to dedicate to the songs I'm composing- the snow I'm supposed to get tonight...
And a really lovely holiday season
Ja.
*raises glass*
Yes indeed. Since I'm so good at fighting at all.
Not really.
I only have a few kata and sparring forms
Ms. Dark, I don't laugh. Especially not at people.
Not even when they're meant to be funny?
No.
And I spoke more in the terms of having some form of telephone available.
Oh. Well that is true as well..
Good, then, I suppose.
Indeed.
Hmm.
So how is *whispers* Florida
Well, I suppose. I still prefer the north, but that it is simply personal preference.
Of course... Well, it could be stranger.. At least it's cold down there.
And, Er...
Not the hot weather in Australia. That would be strange.
...
I am not entirely certain what you are trying to say, Ms. Dark.
No- I just mean that I find the concept of hot weather - like Australia has- in the winter to be unusual.. And that at least, in Florida, it's hot
Ah, quite.
*Nods*
*Quietly bakes a marshmallow over an open fire*
*hums a holiday song*
... Hrm.
Yes? *She eats the marshmallow* *She offers him one on a stick*
No thank you, Ms. Dark.
*She half shrugs, making another for herself*
*She notices a little squirrel*
*Carefully, she sets a few nuts for it on a cloth by the fire- it scampers over, and devours it*
*Clears her throat*
Have I ever asked, Sir, how long you've been on Earth?
I mean
You aren't human, right?
Not per se...
I am enough, Ms. Dark.
Hmm...curious.
*She hums again, tucking her marshmallows away*
*She pulls out a glass of wine out of seemingly thin air*
*She looks at the snow, noticing strange tracks*
Holy...
There are plenty of curious things in the world.
What is it, Ms. Dark?
...
Priya told me that you two encountered a Bigfoot a while ago...
...
Do you think that it might have had.. Er... A significant other?
It's entirely within the realm of possibility, Ms. Dark.
...
*She jumps from the fire pit and inspects the tracks closely, sitting by the ground*
Hmmm...
Ahh, I keep on disappearing! D:
Sorry I randomly left earlier, Adra :(
That's okay Flora, but-
Why aren't you asleep? *Stern look*
*Curtsies* Your Majesty
Because.....
gimme time to think of a good answer
Greetings, Ms. Ophelia.
You know, Ms. Dark, there's no need to go searching for the creature.
Tumblr?
:P
*Offers her a marshmallow*
Why not, Sir?
Because I'd rather not waste any more good bullets, Ms. Dark.
How do you do, Sir Rennington?
And no actually :P it's because of a david bowie documentary :P
Are the marshmallows veggie?
..
They're vegetarian, if that's what you mean..
Uh
Yeah.
And- Sir... Bullets aren't the only solution
hahaha, yes that's what i mean :P veggie = vegetarian :P
and if that's the case then thank you, I shall have one :)
*takes beige marshmallow*
perhaps it's toffee flavoured
*eats it*
alas, earwax
