'Tis The Season...

... to be jolly, fa la la la laa, la la la laaaaaaa...

My Christmas tree is up. It actually went up a few weeks ago. It's not a REAL Christmas tree. I mean, it's real ENOUGH. It's not IMAGINARY. If you threw it at someone, it'd hit them. But it's made from assorted plastics and stuff. Also it's black. It looks awesome, but lacks that Christmas tree smell. But I don't mind that. My folks have a real Christmas tree up, and that's where Christmas happens anyway, so who cares if my house doesn't smell of pine needles? Not me. Not really.

Not... really...

Anyway, yes, the tree. It's up. The presents are bought. They're not wrapped, but they're bought. Most of them. Okay, I haven't a clue what to get my dad, but he's a dad. He'll be happy with socks. Fathers are simple creatures. 

So... tree up. Presents bought. These are things I set aside time to do, because I needed to set aside time. I've been so busy lately that if I hadn't set aside this time, I just wouldn't get around to it. There are loads of things I just didn't have time for, like sending out Christmas cards. I love sending out cards. I try to combine it with answering all the letters from readers, so when I send off a reply, they get a Christmas card too. How lovely! But not this year. Answering all those letters, sending all those cards, would take two days at a minimum, and they are two days I can't afford to take off writing. 

The writing is going well, by the way. I've been focussing on short stories these last three weeks, building up quite a collection of new stuff. Each of these stories will be told in a different "voice" than the one you're used to. You'll see what I mean when you read them. 

One thing that I haven't decided on yet are the Christmas Skype calls I was planning on making. Essentially, I was going to take an hour one day and just fit as many three-minute Skype calls into that hour as I could. It seemed like a lovely idea at the time, but I'm not so sure anymore. Not everyone who wanted a call would be available on that hour, and so I'd have to field quite a few complaints. Then there'd be the people who'd want a one-on-one chat, when I'd only be comfortable chatting if there were two or more people in the room with you. Basically, my idea would end up causing a whole lot of hassle that I could really do without, so I just don't know. 

Okay then, enough jibber-jabber. I have work to do. 

Be cool, my Minions.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other, Blogland.

Unknown said...

Evening, fish.

Sir said...

Evening, cad.

Noelle said...

(MEEEERRAAA)

* To Hyde* It was. No longer. What do you want?

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Alright, thank you.)

I'm afraid my situation is . . . complicated. And nothing a don't deserve.


. . .







I've always been a little in love with the idea of death.
So peaceful.
So quiet.
Maybe I will be better off.
Maybe the world will be better off.

*sips tea*
. . . Except tea.
It will be hard for me to give up tea.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Ah, hullo, Sir Reingington.)

Unknown said...

I am not allowed to visit? Just because I am here does not mean I am going to kill. If you insist I can kill you. Or the shark.

Noelle said...

(Man.)

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Barnosky, Dark, and Charm.

...


And the knave, as well, I suppose.

Unknown said...

The knave? I have a name, Sir.

Noelle said...

Death isn't lovely. Hell is pain. *She shakes her head* Believe me, life is better.


*To Hyde* You're hilarious.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I do hope you two intend to engage in a Shakespearian insult battle.)

Sir said...

One hardly worth uttering.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, you certainly know how to sooth a dying woman.
*laughs*
*a real, honest laugh this time*
*and pockets the echo-stone*

Noelle said...

(Hot damn)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*soothe

Noelle said...

*Adra gets up, and grabs them both one of her cookies* *She hands it to Precocious*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*bites into the cookie*
*savors the bite*

These are lovely. Did you make them yourself? I didn't think you'd have the time.

Sir said...

I would, Ms. Barnosky, but I fear the cockalorum had become a bit of a jollux in his age, and would not be able to keep up.

Noelle said...

I... Have found myself with more time on my hands recently. That, and I bake like a madwoman when I'm stressed. *She half shrugs* I have so many more sweets prepared...

Noelle said...

(Show off)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Sir, if I ever met you in real life, I would vigorously shake your hand and ask you to go bowling.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

We all need our . . . stress reducers. Hobbies to take our minds off such trivial matters as apocalypse and imminent death.
*looks thoughtful*
I'm not certain what mine is. I suppose I drive. And drink tea.

Sir said...

There is no shame in speaking in such a manner to ruffians, Ms. Dark.

Sadly, Ms. Barnosky, as I am a fictional character, that is unlikely. Still, if the event were to occur, I would certainly take you up on that offer.

Noelle said...

Both very good habits, of course.

*She waits for a response from Hyde* *She sighs in relief*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I meant in your capacity as, whoever you really are, an excellent writer with a good sense of humor. I make it my business to "hang out" with those sorts of people whenever I can.)

Noelle said...

(OMG)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*nods*
*finishes her cookie*
*sits a while in thought*
*staring at her wretched-looking self in the mirror*

Sir said...

Thank you, I suppose, Ms. Barnosky.

What is your cause for alarm, Ms. Dark?

The Grave of a Coward said...

(OMG ADRA WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT?
*looks around for whatever Adra saw*
It is a flying pig?
I do love flying pigs. They're not as rare as one might think, you know.)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*her phone buzzes* *she sighs and looks at it* *she starts laughing*

From: Niall Wey Hey😎

mara what does substantial mean


*texts back* Niall, you're drunk.

Unknown said...

You are a villian, Adrasdos Dark, you shouldhave stayed in Hell.

Noelle said...

*She finishes her tea and goes to put it in the sink* *She feels her head swim and she sways for a minute* *She shakes her head, smoothing out her dress* *She turns to Precocious* Are you finished?

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . . Yes, I am through.
*looks at Adra with concern*

Noelle said...

(It was I response to Sir. But it became capital, for some reason.

ONG the stag party! I forgot!)

*To Hyde* I am balanced. You are not. It was a shame that you weren't there with me. I would have left you.

Unknown said...

*laughs* I'll see you there, Adrasdos. *steps out of the shadows sending the knife at Adrasdos' heart*

Noelle said...

*She picks up Precocious's cup of tea for her and bringing it to the sink, then washing it, and drying it* *She sighs* Oh! I nearly forgot- you have eaten, yes?

Noelle said...

*She turns and moves out if the way, turning, grabbing a knife off of her counter and whipping it at him*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Yes . . .
*looks at Adra with much concern*
*Adra has the look of one who is hearing voices*
*something Precocious would be very*
*very*
*familiar with*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gasps in shock*
*and leaps to her feet*
*backing against the wall*
*blue energy crackling in her eyes and fists*

*it is weak, faded energy*
*almost gray*

Noelle said...

(Mara he is my favourite)

Noelle said...

Trying to kill me?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*pressed agains the wall*
*heart pounding*

*her blue energy as crackling and fading*
*weak*
*and sickly*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*against

Noelle said...

*She glances back* Precocious, sit down. And do not be arrogant and say you are alright. I won't tolerate that

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

Rook watches as Mister Ioux collapses to the floor, his skin turning a sickly shade of purplish-blue. He's not going to die, not yet. Rook picked something much more...appropriate.
Only one more thing he has to do before he can disappear again into the shadows.

Ioux opens his eyes and the color is gone, replaced by darkness. He reaches his hand upward and taps the low stone ceiling.
A twisted smile spreads across his lips.
"I suppose it's only proper to punish me in an equivalent manner," he says, although he is almost completely certain that Rook will not hear. "However, I have an advantage, as per usual. I'm curious, though. How do you plan to contain me when I already posess the only knowledge I need to escape?"
He jumps upwards then does a sort of flip, letting his head fall first onto the hard stone floor. He keeps falling.
Suddenly it's light again, and he's surrounded by the victims who have not yet awakened, and he suddenly realizes that this poisoned dreamworld is not only a creation of his imagination, but theirs.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*claps a hand over her mouth*
Ioux!)

A-arrogance?
Y-you will NOT accuse me of arrogance!
*the energy flares a little brighter*
*a little bluer*

Noelle said...

(FABI THOUGHHHHHHHHH)

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Fabienne.

My, quite intriguing...

Noelle said...

*She notices the change*

*She crosses her arms haughtily* It's true.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gritting her teeth*
*chest heaving*
I have been called a LOT of things in my life, Adra!
Dead!
Bitch!
Late for dinner!
Daft!
Cad!
Dear Heart!
*immediately regrets voicing the last one*
But I will NOT be called arrogant!

*blue energy flares brighter*
*and bluer*

Unknown said...

*grins wickedly* Kill? No, Adrasdos. You are imagining things.

Noelle said...

(Mara I'm crying from laughter)

Oh dear.

Noelle said...

*She hisses* Then what is it that you want?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes a deep breath*

I . . . I'm sorry, Adra.
It's no use. What do I care?
Three days.
Three days.
Three days.

*the blue energy dies down*

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

((Ioux indeed.))

((What?))

((Thank you, Sir.))

#ChaseForBook9

Unknown said...

To simply visit! Is that such a hard concept? Jekyll says you have highy intelligent mages here, I have yet to see any 'intelligence'.

Sir said...

My, this roleplay certainly reflects the holiday spirit.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*doesn't even blink at the yet-to-see-intelligence comment*
*even though she cares more about that than the arrogance comment*

. . .

Noelle said...

*Her jaw flexes, and she takes a step forward, glaring* Get out of my home.

Noelle said...

(Aye)

Unknown said...

I do not wish to do so. Where is the pet fox?

The Grave of a Coward said...

(And what does he say?)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I apologize. I just couldn't resist.)

Noelle said...

... He's dead

Noelle said...

("Long live King Richard")

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Ooh de lally ooh de lally golly what a day.)

Unknown said...

You killed the fox? What does he have to say for that? Fox killer.

Noelle said...

(Nostalgia()

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Nostalgia.
*nods in wistful agreement*)

Noelle said...

I didn't. He was crushed. To bits. I would never do that- such accusations would be invalid.

Now. *She reaches for the counter, walking forward and presses a knife to his throat* Out of my lab.


*She pauses, realizing the knife is not a knife, but a carrot*

Noelle said...

(Sir- just a reminder, you're more than welcome to participate if you wish)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

*eyes the carrot and backs away mocking her* Oh how shall I tremble in fear! The might Adrasdos Dark has threatened to kill me with a carrot! *eyes widen in mock fear* *throws a knife at her neck*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*blinks*

Oh look, Adra's trying to kill the gentleman in the hat.
How lovely.

*stares at the tabletop*

Unknown said...

*takes the cane/stick and hits Precious across the face with it*

Noelle said...

(Mara!!!!)

*She tosses the carrot aside* *She widens her eyes, and jumps back, but the knife embeds itself into her shoulder* *Her jaw drops, and she swings a rather rubbish punch at him*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*tumbles out of the chair*
*face-first on the floor*

*pushes herself up on her elbows*

RUDE.

Unknown said...

*easily blocks Adrasdos' punch and sends one of his own to her throat*

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

Judith smiles mercilessly, letting the images of all the people Ioux has wronged swirl around him. In the weeks since her death, she's gotten better at controlling the dreamworld, choosing which parts of her subconscious it draws from. That's all she is now, after all. A subconscious. And a voice inside her sister's head. Janis and Sandra are still in the hospital from what those men did to them. The same men that killed Judith.
She actually has no grudge against them. One was being blackmailed with death threats to his kidnapped mother, and the other two really didn't see her as a person. Once they did, once they knew her as more than a name and a face, their own guilt would be enough of a punishment. She let herself believe that that would happen.
Ioux, however, she hated with a passion. Now he was in the same level of reality as her, and since she could never leave, she'd make sure he couldn't, either.
A tear trickled down her cheek as she realized she was turning into a vengeful person. She wasn't like that.
The images around Ioux stopped and there was just...space, holding him in position.
There were tears in his eyes, too...
Well, that was stupid. Of course there couldn't be. He was faking remorse, trying to twist her into releasing him. That wouldn't happen, that would never happen.
But there she went again. She was thinking only of herself. She wasn't like that. Rather, when she was alive, she hadn't been like that. Who was she now? Nothing. No one.
If not for her own selfish idea of revenge, then, she'd keep him here for all the people he won't get the chance to kill.
She smiles grimly.

((peri peri chicken gets me everytime...))

Sir said...

Thank you, Ms. Dark, but for now I am content to merely watch. I am still firm in my belief that roleplay is a spectator sport.

Noelle said...

*She chokes, her back hitting the corner of the sharp counter* *She blindly reaches for a weapon*

Noelle said...

(Meh, Sir. Meh.)

(Meera :3)

(Fobwa I am watching you btw!!)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Ioux . . .)

Unknown said...

*takes the cane and hits Adrasdos rather hard across the face* *it appears he is enjoying her pain*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*scrambles across the floor*
*into a closet*
*and shuts the door*


*breathing heavily*

Can't get hurt . . . here . . . can't . . . get hurt . . .

Noelle said...

*She winces* I'm going to regret the bruise from that... *She stomps down against Hyde's lower leg, with a hit hard enough to break*

The Grave of a Coward said...

. . .
. . .
I'm going to die in three days.
I'm not even going to see Christmas.

*closes her watering eyes*

. . . I'm a despicable creature.
I am going to die. What is my life worth now?

Nothing.

My life is worth nothing.

*opens the closet door*

So I'll go help Adra.

Noelle said...

*She moves her hand, and a small wall of rock raises from the floor, blocking the Doctor's door so Hyde can't get in*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*tries to open the door*
*it bangs against a wall of rock*

. . .

. . .

Alrighty then.

Unknown said...

*a faint cry is heard as he backs away and disappears into the shadows* *it sounds like two men are arguing*

Noelle said...

*She looks at the door* *She raises her voice* Don't fight, Precocious... You'll only get hurt... *She's struggling to breathe*

Sir said...

Oh.

Oh dear.

I suddenly recall that I have been party to a crime most foul, and must atone immediately.

The Grave of a Coward said...

What's he going to do?
Kill me?
What's he going to do?
Torture me mentally?
What's he going to do?
Put me in a wheelchair?

*struggles to open the door*

Noelle said...

You're leaving, Sir?

Noelle said...

Cracking open your mind is undesirable, isn't it?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*doesn't reply*
*just angrily bashes the door against the stone wall*

Sir said...

Quite the opposite, Ms. Dark.

*knocks upon Ms. Dark's door*

...

Ms. Dark? Are you there? I have your pen!

Snow said...

(( gag presents are my specialty. :)

hi all))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Why, hullo, Forgotten Detective.)

Noelle said...

*She waves her hand, and the door opens on it's own* S'open!

*She sighs, breathing more heavily, and feeling quite weak* Precocious, please..

Noelle said...

(Hello, Snow *waves*)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Let me out!
*blue energy flares in her hands*
This is entirely unacceptable!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

(( *pokes all* how goes it you lot?))

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.

*opens the door*
*walks in, gingerly holding a rather ordinary-looking ballpoint pen*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I am well. It is Christmastime, after all.
Precocious is quite dismal.
Oscar is over the moon.
And Echo-Tarot is a little bit sleepy.)

Noelle said...

(Meera WhUt)(alright, Snow. You?)

*She sighs, exasperated* Precocious, please

The Grave of a Coward said...

Don't "Precocious, please" me!
*angrily slams the door shut*

This is distressing me!

Noelle said...

*Adra looks at the knife in her shoulder then groans as she pulls it out, dripping with her own blood*

Unknown said...

*heals self having gained control* *ties hair back up and walks out towards the others* Miss Dark, I do...I do not know how he is gaining control to get here.

Noelle said...

Don't be, Doctor. I'll let you out in a second..

Snow said...

(( i'm good. joking around. i love Christmas for the jokes...))

Noelle said...

*She waves her hand, and the rocks disappear*

*She looks at Henry, wiping her forehead* Ah... That seems to... Be... Unfortunate...

Sir said...

Ms. Barnosky, I find malagrugrous to be a delightful synonym for dismal.

*walks through the nearest open door, and sees a quite tired-looking Ms. Dark, and Mr. Jekyll*

...

I must admit, while I have seen more jargolgling scenes, perhaps I should merely return the pen another time?

Noelle said...

*She looks at Sir out of the corner if her eye* A pen?

The Grave of a Coward said...

(But Iooooux.
*looks very sad*
*writes "Ioux" all over her notebook*
*like a lovesick teenager*

Mother: *walks in*
Who's Ioux?

Ioux is a gentleman, Mother.

Mother: . . . A gentleman named Ioux?

Yes, Mother.

Mother: . . . That's weirder than the dude named Sir.
*backs slowly out of the room*)

Ah! Hullo there, Sir.

We've met before, I think?

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

((That's the thing, though. I won't get better. It's been one thing, then another follows at its heels and I haven't been normal in ages.))

((Should I continue with Ioux or move on to where Rook went?))

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

(PreCOcious.)

Sir said...

...

Quite.

In any case, yes, a pen, from that one situation in which you treated my foot while I could not speak. When I egressed so quickly, I spirited away the pen that I used for communication.

*offers it to her*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Move on to Rook. I don't want to read about Ioux being tortured.
*gazes off into the distance*
*her hair rippling gracefully in the wind*)

*She breathes* I'm sorry.. My friend... For locking you in the...closet..

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sits*

Can I help in any way?
I'm not much with healing. That's more Oscar's area . . .
Maybe I should just stay out of the way.

Snow said...

(( right... no ones been checking out my blog... and i've put some very... me... pictures on it.))

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

((I mean, I could say I was sorry, but at this point, I'd be lying.))

((Rook it is.))

((hugs Adra))

((I have Bloglandian names written down in cool fonts. No one gets to see it, though. I hide the clipboard in a corner.))

((Btw, Anni, if it makes you feel any better, you're the only reason Liz and Effie didn't kill Ioux back at the underground hospital place.))

((Well, maybe not the only reason.))

((Still.))

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Yes, Fabi.
It makes me feel significantly better.

I hope that eventually Ioux and Precocious can role-play together again.
I would very much like them to be buddies.)

Snow said...

(( hmm... what should i draw??))

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

((I thought I was following your blog...? I've been checking my dashboard.))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Draw Oscar.)

Noelle said...

Ah, you can if you- *She sways off balance*
*Slides down the kitchen cabinet, one hand still to her shoulder*

This...this is embarrassing..

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I would like to make it clear that though Doctor Precocious may technically be called my "main" character, Oscar Neurotic is just as important and fun to write as she is.)

and... what does he look like anni? just a quick description... (warning: the picture might be awful) ))

Ms. Dark, you really should be sitting down.

In a chair, mind you, not on the ground.

Ms. Charm, there is no standard for human beings. That being said, if there was, you would surpass it.

Ms. Dark...

Well, you are the doctor here, I suppose.
*pauses*
Besides the good Doctor, of course.

Noelle said...

*Murmurs* That name didn't come from a degree, I expect..

Unknown said...

*shakes hand* I have heard through your friend's minds. You know I'm pretty good with true names. And I know a person who could block your name from you but allow you to acess your magic.

I chose my name to honor my uncles. One who has done nothing but love me, and one who stole from me any chance I had at happiness.


*smiles sadly at Jekyll*
My dear Henry . . . if I may call you that . . . my situation is not as simple as all that. There are three parts of a human: True Name, Body, and Consciousness. My body and true name were torn apart, leaving me with a shattered and fragmented consciousness.
My true name is . . . quite out of my hands, now.

Noelle said...

*There are quick footsteps, and Priya appears at the doorway, and her eyes find Adra* *She gives a patronizing look to the others, then rushes to Adra's side, one hand at her cheek* *Adra looks up at her*

I am fine, sister..

*Priya gives her a look*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*sits by the fire, filling a black notebook with seemingly random letters and muttering softly to self*

Snow said...

(( Snowduggery...?? fabi... what??))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Hullo, Aretha!)

Unknown said...

Snow said...

(( :-/... *hugs mara*))

Snow said...

Noelle said...

(Mara!

...:/ I hope you're okay)

*Priya pulls Adra up, and pulls her to the porch, and sets her down* *She signs* "It was too crowded".

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I will take it.)

Noelle said...

(Ya little ARGH)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Gosh-darned it I suppose I will not.)

Snow said...

(( lol adra! best set up ever))

Noelle said...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*raises another glass*

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Tesla.

Hrm.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((I offer you my condolences, Maralie, whatever they may be worth to you. I am unsure of what you are referring to, but I wish you good fortune nonetheless.))

*quietly begins making herself a cup of tea*

Noelle said...

*Adra moans softly as Priya moves the fabric on her shoulder aside, and looks at the wound* *Adra looks up at her friend, then to a mirror, noticing the sharp bruise line that goes across her cheek*

Unknown said...

(So! Let us have a vote: if I let Hyde out on Niccolò who will die first?)

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

((Skulduggery the snowman! D:))

((Mara...we love you!))

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Hyde, undoubtedly.)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*continues to write, completely unresponsive*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Hyde. If Niccolo even notices him.)

Snow said...

(( oh thank god... you had me worried fabi!

HEAR HEAR!))

Unknown said...

Mr. Croatoan do I really need to go down the route of hitting? Are you brain dead?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((While I greatly appreciate your confidence in my combative abilities, Annika, I am afraid that in my current state anyone who wished to could likely kill me with unprecedented ease.))

#ChaseForBook9

Unknown said...

(Let's find out! I bet Nic will hardly notice...maybe Ari would but Nic will notice crap. He wouldn't notice if he was on fire.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(My mother has recently begun asking me why I find role-playing so fun. She pointed out that I haven't, in the grand scheme of things, been on here for very long, and that I can't have made friends.

I know I'm the rookie here, but you like me, do you not? You would be upset if I suddenly vanished forever?)
