And because I don't have ENOUGH to do at this time of year...
Alrighty then, here's a fun little thing I've been working on, and I need your help. I'm editing together a video (and I'm very new to editing, so I haven't a clue what I'm doing) of many people singing what is basically the 12 Days of Christmas, but with a difference.
If you want to be a part of this, all you have to do is send an email to skulteams@hotmail.com, giving me permission to use your video in making MY video. We, in turn, will get back to you with the lines I need you to sing. You then go off, sing these lines into your phone or camera or whatever — it can be you, it can be you and a friend, you and your family, or a group, or a pet, or a puppet, or your favourite kettle — and send these (SHORT!) videos back to the skulteams address so you can be edited in.
(Oh, and one minor details, for those of you under the age of 18... GET YOUR PARENTS' OR GUARDIANS' PERMISSION!)
If you could keep the lines you sing to yourself— i.e. don't tweet them! — that would be very helpful! The lines will be given out tomorrow, the final deadline is Monday night, with the full video to be released on Christmas day, right here on my blog.
Provided I learn how to edit by then.
NO MORE APPLICANTS! ALL SPACES FILLED! GOOD GOD THERE ARE OVER 100 OF YOU!
THOSE WHO GOT THEIR APPLICATIONS IN HAVE UNTIL 7 PM (IRISH TIME) ON MONDAY TO GET THEIR VIDEOS IN!

*She closes her eyes*
We love each other. He...
*She runs to the door, and knocks nervously*
*Looks at the ground, her hood covering her face*
(*raises glass* Hear hear!)
Hello. How did your foray into the Afterlife go?
#ChaseForBook9
Is the bar still open?
Come in!
#ChaseForBook9
(( anni, are you ignoring the fact that i am stabbing repetitively??))
(Edward you WILL get killed if you try to steal anything)
Not to you Ed. You're still barred.
#ChaseForBook9
(I draw power from the tears of my readers, Snow, and as such am impervious to stab injuries.)
... yeah about that... i think... she wasn;t in the after life... and.... she wasn't in her coffin...
*Slips into the bar, and the warmth, and continues to shift nervously*
H-hey, Trip... Um, are you busy?
I'm afraid you will have to converse with us through a window.
#ChaseForBook9
I have not attempted to rob the bar since months ago, although that was the last time i was in but hey, I wont. The usual please Trip.
Why am I barred. *Stands in doorway*
Not really.
Not in her coffin eh? This just got interesting.
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: THE WHOEL THING ISN'T ON THE DAMN BLOG.
IT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE LOVE REALISATION OR THE VAN.
(And maybe I'm being a bit stupid about the van, but that really got me, emotionally. :))
#ChaseForBookNine
(( *is laughing* from dramatic to trip being a fool... this is what blogland is...))
You're barred because you repeatedly tried to steal all my money and didn't respect the establishment.
#ChaseForBook9
*Jumps, noticing Lea*
Oh!
I'm sorry, I didn't see you had company.
I can come back later..
(The vannnn)
I cannot follow any of this:')
Wbd. Writing Imperfect. :3
*Walks round to window* How did I not respect the establishment?
(*hugs Luce* It hasn't been like this in ages oh my goodness...
Good luck!)
Oh, no. Ed isn't company. And lea can keep himself entertained by talking to Ed!
#CbaseForBook9
(I WILL add the bit with the van,
but right now I'm trying to wrassle the Grand Finale.)
(You still here Em?)
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, I think you would really like this Hunter and Ez story that I just started writing. :P
They're trying to tell a story, and they're only a few sentences in because they keep talking to each other. :)
And they're just acting like there's no one else in the room, which there isn't, although they're not in the same room, and I rarely ever write them when they don't have barriers up, and it's just so nice.
#ChaseForBooknine
i... i think snow might be alive...
(( is it weird that this just came into my head in a weird cartoon:
Trip: you are barred.
Ed: Barred from a Bar? sheep go bah.
Trip: *is suddenly riding a sheep* yes they do. but you are still barred
Ed: *pokes trip* what about now?
Trip: yes.
Ed: *hugs trip* now?
Trip: yes.
Ed: nawwwww...
Trip: evil laugh))
I'm trying tow rok out how to ship Osmosis as well as Precociousxvan. :)
@Anni: Thanks.
Although you don't have to. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Who is Lea? *Trys to take drink reaching through window*
lea: i am.
((I will contact Disney immediately Snow.))
#ChaseForBook9
Oh...
*She glances at her phone, and holds onto a chair, to keep from falling over in a sudden bout of dizziness*
*Her knees shake, and she feels as if she'll collapse again*
*Being nervous doesn't help her*
I... I got a message from Antonio... He thinks he can fix the curse, and... Well, I wondered if you would be there for me
Hello Lea
(( lol... my head is weird...))
*a sigil glows and Ed's hand gets a third degree burn*
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: hello.
(Star if you send that to me I will scream bloody murder.
Sparks, I emailed you :P)
(Very good snow. Trip, ride a sheep now)
(Vancocious is amazing)
*stands up, coat somehow now on* where do we need to go?
#ChaseForBook9
Back!
*Pulls hand back and places it on cold brickwork* Why me?
(( now i cant stop thnking of blogland cartoons...))
(Nay. *rudes a horse*)
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: i imagine because you stole money. but that's just my opinion. *shrugs*
(SPARKY!
I EMAILED YOU!)
(Wb)
Just my lab- Vikta is working on setting things up.
Because you're barred!
wb Sparky.
#ChaseForBook9
Love youuuuuuu
All of you. :-)
You're amazing.
#ChaseForBook9
(( trip i will tell you where they hide all the bananas if you ride a sheep))
I never got away with the money though so, that should all be forgotten I think. Trip?
(You are as well, Fabi! Happy Bloggerversary *hugs*)
Lea, you're in charge. If Ed is too much for you there's a robot knocking around here somewhere, and a few golems.
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: I can't post it here, because they're using different fonts. :P I'll probably put it on my blog at some point.
Need to go to sleep now, guys.
Fours!
#ChaseForBookNine
(( FABBIIIII!! *pokes* thanks. and right back at you.))
No, Ed. It should not. Shall we go Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
(Goodnight, Star!!! *hugs* Sleep well!)
*Smiles gratefully, although he probably can't see it* Thank you
(Goodnight, Star!)
*She nods*
(Bye Star)
((bye star!))
Lea: oh... okay... *swings over the bar to where ed is at the window* what do you want to drink?
((No Snow! (lol rhyme) That is something I have to find out for myself!))
#ChaseForBook9
(Ah, the finale is finally on Superfluous,
and I can kick back,
and relax.
*cheerily chews a Christmas cookie*
Vancocious, eh?)
*Walks into bar* Cider please
(( *pokes* but... RIDE A SHEEP!!))
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE EVE!!!!
AND I GOT MY SONG/VIDEO EMAIL!!!!!
ME IS NOW HAPPYYYY!
(Yeah Vancocious yo. It's real.
And
Moist Toscarlettes)
You serve him a drink you're barred. Nasty things happen to barred people. *holds the door open for Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
((hugs Adra and Snow))
((and everyone else who wants a hug))
#ChaseForBook9
*Walks outside until Trip leaves*
*a sigil flashes and Ed is thrown from the bar*
#ChaseForBook9
(Heya Duck!)
*Slowly, Adra moves through the door and down the stairs* *Once in the snow, she makes care to save her energy the best she can, although her world is already spinning around her*
((Night Starrarrararrar!))
#ChaseForBook9
*Is thrown back into a tree* Thanks. Full of festive spirit
*looks at ed with a raise eyebrow* um... sorry?
Hey Duck.
#ChaseForBook9
(I am here. You rang Trip??)
(( HEY DUCKLEZZZZZ! how goes the duck blog??))
*lea doubles over laughing*
(*does a spit take at Moist Toscarlettes*)
*follows Adra* Would you like me to carry you?
#ChaseForBook9
(IT SOUNDS LIKE AN ALL-GIRL DEATH METAL BAND.)
*Throws tinsel and christmas lights across bars roof*
(I just wanted to point out that Trip still doesn't know Em is dead. And ask how are you?
#ChaseForBook9
(( IT DOES ANNI!))
Lea: hmm... i think it needs a bauble right... *points at the door handle* here.
*the existing Christmas lights duel the tinsel and new lights to the death and serve their carcasses at Christmas light Christmas dinner.*
#ChaseForBook9
*Rips off door handle and ties it to top of roof* Good idea Lea.
(It is, Anni)
*She pauses* I don't need to be carried... I'll be... Fine...
Nevermind. *She grabs for his arm, her legs beginning to give out*
*Stares as christmas decorations are ripped to shreds*
Back in 10 minutes
You need carrying. *picks Adra up and begins to carry her to the lab*
*the door handle rolls back to the door and slots back in*
#ChaseForBook9
(Gawsh, I love you people.)
(And we love you.)
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: thats not actually what i ment... but what ever...
(Awh.
*hugs Trip*)
*lea grabs a bauble and hangs it from the door* :)
(( LOVE YA TOO ANNII!! *stabs* ))
(Well see now you're practically asking me to interupt what is looking like a pretty important Tadra moment so I dunno what I'm supposed to do there.)
(Aw-HURK!
*hugs Snow anyway*)
(Moist Toscarlettes, Vancocious, and Osmosis.
Damn those are weird.)
*In the lab, Antonio and Vikta are fighting among one another*
*Adra closes her eyes, yet doesn't want to fall into the nightmares again* *So she leans against him and tries to conjure up some energy, although there is none*
*She's pale, and looking thinner than before the riff with Adrian. A thin sheen of sweat lines her forehead*
(Em I swear if you keep laughing at Sam I will HUNT YOU DOWN omg)
(Ships involving inanimate objects are ALWAYS weird, Adra.)
(( it's my way of showing i care. like how i call my dad and brother bozo 1 and bozo 2))
(You could turn up at the bar? There's always fun to be had there! Or you could interrupt it... That would open up a lot of plot complexities.)
#ChaseForBook9
(Indeed, Annika :D)
(( *has a flashback to snowduggery and the panic i had when i read the name and thought it was a ship* please, never call a snowman snowduggery again... *shudders*))
(So.
Harralie wedding tomorrow.
No. I'm not sobbing hysterically.
I'm just sweating through my eyes.
Yup.
That's all.
nO I'M FUCKING BAWLING)€
*uses head to knock on lab door* Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
(( *hugs mara* HARRALIE!!))
(HEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)
(Oh)
(And I hope you liked the bachelorette party.. I know it might have been a bit rubbish, but... Aye. You said no strippers so I had only a few options.)
(I wonder what I should do now.
*walks through a door*
*a guitar riff from the 70's plays*
Huh?
*walks back through the door*
*a guitar riff from the 70's plays*
*walks back and forth through the door*
*the guitar is wailing away*
. . . Huh.)
(omfg Trip)
*Footsteps are heard through the door, and Vikta opens it, her eyes widening at Adra* Jesus. Get her in here. *She opens the door wider, and calls for Tony behind her shoulder*
(Well, all I can say is I'm exited Mara.
Very
Exited.)
#ChaseForBook9
(Mara what color am I wearing?)
*steps inside very quickly* Where to doc?
#ChaseForBook9
and im back
(( i wanna do some snow stuff but... i dont know what... hurumph... maybe i should bring her back now and then work on ideas.... *thinks* there sure would be some slea then... but... hmm...))
(And you're barred.)
#ChaseForBook9
Can the ship nane fir Orecocious x van be Dr Mrs Van der Tramp?
Because that's an acronym for something school-related, and it'd be a shame to break the school-related theme. :)
*tries to remember where the hell DRMRSVANDERTRAMP is from* *has a feeling it's something to do with French*
Oh, yes. All the French verbs that take 'être' in the passé composé. :) *smiles*
(Amd, you know, it has Doctor/Dr and van im it).
(It's a cool ship name.)
#ChaseForBookNine
((I will call snow-people whatever I like, thank you very much.))
((HARRALIE HARRALIE HARRALIE))
#ChaseForBook9
*lea finishes nailing baubles to the bar door* *realizes it looks a bit odd* *frowns*
(At my fencing club, we have a dandy fellow named Soupy, and one day I decided that he deserved his own Disney sitcom.
I planned it perfectly. At first, I sang a guitar riff every time he entered or exited a room, like sitcom scene-transition music. Then I pretended to be a laugh track every time he tripped or said something funny.
Gradually, the other fencers caught on, and one day, Soupy walked into the gym and all thirty-five of us sang a guitar riff that sounded like
"BOW-CHICKA-BOW-WOW-WEEEEEEAWW!"
and he almost fainted.
I have never been prouder of myself.
Once he was in on it, we even got him to record a sound clip of him saying "Hi, my name is Soupy and you're watching Disney Channel!")
(Wb)
*Vikta points to an operating table*
Put her there...
*Antonio rounds the corner and sees Trip, then beckons him to the table*
*Places penguin at door but it turns and attacks* Ow, what. Oh yeah, I am not your king anymore then. *Walks away with leg bleeding*
(( :O anni, that is amazing XD))
*laughs and thinks of snow*
(omg Anni :P)
*carefully lays Adra on the table* What are you going to do? And less importantly, what is that curse?
#ChaseForBook9
But if Vancocious sounds like an all-girl death metal band, I'm happy with that, because anything to do with metal and/or metal bands is good with me, even if it's not a type of metal I listen to. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(( oh god... death metal unicorns... (da na na na na na na) XD))
(Oh no, Star, the all-girl death metal band is Moist Toscarlettes.
BOW-CHICKA-BOW-WOW-WEEEEEEAW)
g2g
byyyeee
Bye Snow
http://insidesparkybraginskishead.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/its-the.html
Took me forever to find that image.
*Vikta goes by with a table, using alchemy to weld it with the operating table, and stretches Adra's arm out, before beginning to strap it down*
It drains energy. After Adrian did this to her, he must have known that he'd die again... So, to him, this would be an alternative death for her. And as for what we're going to do... You'll just have to wait and see.
You might have to help hold her down, though. It's going to hurt a bit.
@Anni: THAT is amazing. :) Like, the Soupy thing.
GUYSSS STOP MAKING ME WANT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC.
#ChaseForBookNine
(Goodbye, Snow!)

(HOMESTUCKKKKKK)
((THE BRIDESMAIDS WEAR LILAC (lmao just saw that comment now Adra :P)))
(Speaking of sweet guitar riffs, one of the most memorable events of my life was the first time I ever sang karaoke.
I stood up in front of a huge group of my friends and I sang a death metal song. Will two twelve year old boys.
BOW-CHICKA-WOW-WOW-WEEEEAW!)
You have no way of stopping the pain? (Night Snow)
#ChaseForBook9
(*with)
*Sits outside bar and throws vikings at it*
((IF YOU WANT YOU CAN PUT YOUR OUTFIT AS YOUR PICTURE IDM))
(Bye Snow! And kk Meera!)
*Vikta thinks for a moment* I can try my best.
That's the best I can ask for. *energy holds Adra down very firmly*
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra twitches and, with her other, shaking hand, reaches out for Trip's hand*
*Antonio pulls out the knife, and lays it next to Adra's arm, but not before drawing a symbol under it*
((Oh and Adra the bachelorette party was great craic thank you for organising it and stuffs *hugs*
no strippers. adra don't forget behind this screen is a 13 year old girl omg))
(Ah. Just saw that, then.)
(Well.
*yawns*
*stretches*
*a soft acoustic guitar plays in the background*
I'm tired, and now that I'm through with the finale, I don't see much else to do right now.
I'm probably just going to log out.)
(I'm 14, Mara :P your point.)
(Okay, Anni.. *hugs* Would you like me to send your regards to Sir?)
*squeezes Adra's hand*
*then a little harder*
#ChaseForBook9
((I need to find something to wearrrrrrr! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
(Yes, do send my regards to Sir. I'm a little sad he wasn't here today.
*frowns*
Oh well. If he cares about the story, he can read it on the blog anyhow.
*shrugs*
Send him a curtsy and a cup of tea, from me.)
*Places bar on top of Adras lab then sits on top*
(I do as well, Fabi)
*Antonio looks at them all* Right. Let's get this over with.
*Antonio picks up a scalpel, and makes a long incision through the entirety of the words on her arm, which stretches from her inner elbow to her wrist*
*He's mumbling something in an ancient language, and his eyes begin to glow a soft, electric blue*
*Adra's blood pools and falls from her arm and around the knife* *Adra whimpers, gripping Trip's hand very, very tightly. Her other arm falls limp*
*Antonio continues his reciting as Vikta has a hand on Adra, and is diverting some of the pain into herself*
(Of course!
What the hell Ed
And our fire alarm just went off!)
((Alright, see you then, Anni!))
((Mm. I need to write something evil.))
((I have a brilliant plan for Ioux! Just need to figure out how to... [Evil laugh] ))
((And Liz...))
((Oh my goodness, Liz. D':))
((Should I rewrite the Rook graveyard scene? I posted it and deleted it 'cause it was rubbish. If no one's especially interested in it, I may just not bother.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra - well.

((*hugs Fabi* :))))))
*begins to meditate, working on turning Adra's emotions to calm*
*a robot picks up the bar and reconnects it to it's proper foundations and fires lasers at Ed*
#ChaseForBook9
(I believe I shall exeunt.
*climbs into her company-issued black hearse*
*puts on her company-issued pink bonnet*
*rests her company-issued trifocals on her nose*
I shall see you all when Christmas is through.
Farewell, my friends, let us look forward to meeting a-
*hearse takes off violently into the sunset*
GAAAAAAAAAAAIN . . .
*voice trails away*
Goodnight, all.)
(You mean something AEVIL, Fabi? hahahahahahahhahaa)
(Mara- yeah. You reat smut don't talk to me about strippers kay)
*Lasers hit and Ed is turned to dust*
(Bye Anni! Again, thank you for the story! *hugs*)
*Antonio frowns, and continues his words, and lightly touches Adra's arm*
*Adra shrieks, trying to move, and Vikta gasps herself, muttering a curse under her breath*
*Antonio puts more pressure on her arm, in the middle of transferring the curse back into the knife. The skin around the words begins to blacken, condensing into a fixed point*
(Ed you're a bit like Kenny on SouthPark.
*read)
(Goooodbyeeeeee Annnnnnika!
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when. There are more lines, to this song, I don't know them, we'll meet again. We'll meet again, don't know- *dies of being sued by Veera LYNN's estate*)
#ChaseForBook9
Gtg, bye
(Bye Ed!)
*the panic spike transfers to Trip, and the energy suddenly pushes down harder*
#ChaseForBook9
(Bye Ed.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Nah, I can't really do anything with Aevil. I've been pretty clueless on the Mevolent plot lately.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Antonio picks up the knife, and placing it inside of the wound, making Adra jolt to the side*
*The darkness slinks up the knife, towards the crystal at the end*
*The darkness disappears, and the words on Adra's arm do as well*
*She's crying*
*Antonio turns away with the knife, as Vikta moves with a medical kit to stitch Adra's arm up* You can let her go now, I don't think she can hardly breathe...
*Adra's shivering instead*
*Victoria works on sowing her arm up before she loses too much blood*
(No, I meant, you said something about "doing something evil" and I was making a pun :P)
((adra -
............
yeah.
*cough*
DON'T SAY THE WORD THAT'S ON YOUR LIPS
DON'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY
it's just wow larry shippers write some of the best smut and wHY AM I SAYING THIS OH GOD))
(You mean..
smut
You are guilty, Mara :P)
*the energy dissipates, and Trip collapses*
You know, you people may have to deal with balance, and Gaia and equivalant exchange, but your problems are nothing compared to controlling channelling while under the influence.
#ChaseForBook9
*From where she is, Adra laughs slightly* Trust you to be drunk on the job... *Winces* Vikta, you're rubbish at this..
((*swats at Adra*
it's a normal thing for directioners okay
*hides*
normal
yeah
normal))
You know, at one point, I nearly snuffed all of you out. Man, that was a close one. Not to mention nearly exploding.
#ChaseForBook9
(*pinches Meera's cheek* You're so cute )
*Vikta frowns, concentrating* Humans, or alchemists?
Pardon?
#ChaseForBook9
((*throws metal chair at Adra*
adra i bet you're not innocent either))
*Vikta pauses* Nevermind. All done, though.
*She cuts off the end of the thread, and unstraps Adra's arm from the table before wrapping it up*
*Adra lifts her other arm, and flicks Trip's nose* Hey though... Thank you.
(Mara, no one is.)
*sigh*
A
Don't mention it. Now, would you mind helping me up?
And maybe helping me home?
#ChaseForBook9
Want me to get you something to help with your drunkenness?
I ded to Mara reading smut, because it has brought me no end of fun watching Adra tease her for it.
That is all.
Apart from Trip finally finding out Em is dead.
And world peace.
#ChaseForBook9
That might also be good.
Thanks.
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan sat, skimming stones off the water's edge. He knew he had to get away from Blogland before anyone significant found out what he did but it was the same place, the place he now called home, that kept him there*
(*raises glass* Hear hear!)
*Adra nods, slowly getting to her feet and disappearing into a cabinet*
*She comes out a moment later with a small red vial* *She hands it to him* It'll take ten minutes to work, and sober you up and stuff...
*she offers him a hand*
*Huffs*
((FUCK IT ANYWAY TRIP))
((*looks at the ground* i feel naughty
