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!

Um, I've never actually been to a wedding before, so sorry if I awkwardly don't know what to do.
((Pretend I was wearing this dress the whole timeeeeee!))
#ChaseForBook9
Niall: *whispers to Adra* Is it bad that I'm nervous?
Ashton: *in his adorable Australian accent omg* Hey there, Zafira. *smiles*
*hugs Fabi* You just follow the flowergirls. *smiles*
*smiles* Hey Ashton!
*Whispers back* No. I'll catch you if you trip
Niall: *hesitates* ... I'll probably trip.
*Louis follows the flowergirls inside, holding the rings in a jewellery box*
Okay. [Nods] [Tries to look like I know what I'm doing] [Looks at what the other bridesmaids are doing and sort of tries to copy them]
((Yeah...))

Mara: *winces* *walks slowly behind the girls*
Niall: I'm not good with weddings. The last two I was at, the fans crashed it..
Last one I was at ended in a failed marriage, so... I think you'll be fine
Last one I was at was mine.
[Walks at the same pace as everyone else]
[Glances around nervously and tries not to fidget]
[Is absolutely rubbish with formal occasions]

Mara: *turns to face Adra* *hugs her with one arm* I nearly did, though!
Harry: Mara, you didn't even stumble!

Evening!
Congrats Mara! *hugs*
((Mm. I need to RP something mean.))
((Don't worry, though, I can still squeal at all the Harralie. :D))
Silencing Ioux will not silence us, Camille. Bring him back from his dream or both Effie and Mireille will be eliminated.
Liz looks at phone and all emotion drains from her face. She doesn't care anymore. She can't care, it's not safe.
...
Giving up isn't safe, either.
She starts to text Fabi again, but she doesn't really know where to begin explaining. That will have to be for something other than a text message, then. Maybe they'll be able to talk in person over a pot of hot chocolate like their mother used to make. Liz lets herself think that will happen someday.
She sends a shorter message, the same to both Fabi and Effie.
I'm so, so sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
(Hey Nightshade!)
((hey Nightshade! *hugs*
Hey Flora! *hugs*))
Thank you Flora...! *hugs back*
((FABI NO))

Oh look Adra caught it
What the hell
I POSTED.

#ChaseForBookNine
Fabi is hovering at the edge of things, smiling at the cuteness, but feeling awkward at the formal occasion-ness.
Her phone beeps, and she looks at Liz's message, her eyebrows wrinkling in concern.
Why are you sorry?
No answer.
What do you have to be sorry for?
No answer.
Are you alright?
No answer.
#ChaseForBook9
AND I SPENT HOURS ON THAT SO YOU BETTER APPRECIATE IT. :)
#ChaseForBookNIne
(yes testers OKAY STAR!)
*looks at the flowers* but... But...
Woo harralie!!! *rubs in and hugs Mara* *hands her a pot of light pink and lilac exotic-looking flowers she's never seen before* *hugs her again* I wish you every happiness. *smiles warmly at both of them, then runs away again*
((Unfortunately, I can't stay, but the Harralie wedding is epic!!!
Also, I really need to write something and I don't know what, so if anyone has a thing for me to write tell me! *hugs everyone* I love you all!))
#ChaseForBook9
I am so sorry for disappearing earlier.
I would have stayed, but I played Zelda for a while and then I got tired and went to bed.
I should have listened to Adra this morning, wow...
Hello Ari! *hugs* And Luce!
Ya mon
@Ari: Love you too! :)
And, the Harralie wedding was Maratasmafetic. :) *smiles*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh

Hi Lucy!
Msd, sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra that... Well, I could ask you for something specific, so I think I will (can you be a little more specific, please?) but if you don't answer I'll just write something that I know is feels-y.))
#ChaseForBook9
Hellooooo Luce! <3
((Also, FABI YOU'D BETTER FINISH THAT. Feelings! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
HELLO ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I might make pancakes...! I'm craving pancakes.
Can we not do Nikola Tesla?!
(One of the times they were travelling around the world and helping peopleeeee and were happy)
*sighs* No...
Oh Ari sometime today I'm emailing you what ZafTC is weaing heh I haven't gotten to it because of extreme cleaning
I do apologize if I can't say hi to everyone... I'm with my friend and trying to not be on here so much
Hi, Mushroom! :) :)
Well, I have wasted my whole day going to town and writing, so . . . *shrugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi, y'all!
Yes, I'mma go make pancakes.
So, wbd/brb:)
HELLO STAR *hugs*
Oooh, pancakes...
KESSIE!!!!! *huggles*
Omg I'm scared....I'm nervous for the Ball. *gulp* John is normal I shouldn't be...okay rambling okay
ZAF! HI!
When does this ball thing start? Is it like the Requiem Ball, the full 49 hours, or just Irish time, or what? Also, is it formal wear or...?
Midnight Irish Time? And well I'm wearig what I'm wearing irl Christmas Eve. Ah mind you I will probably switch my pic early
So I have to find a dress. Cool.
Liz looks at the worried texts that keep popping up on her phone. Fabi's too nice for her own good...
She finally replies. Don't worry about me, I'll be fin. Just enjoy yourself.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi! Happy Blogversary, since I haven't seen you. Your video was boss.
I'm actually going with John Smith, one of Niccolò's names. Specifically the one who fell in love with me. So ai feel good about myself that I managed to get Nic to say yes and I managed to hopefully make a name excited.
Congratulations! :)
HAPPY BLOGVERSARY!
One minute, I will just take a picture to send you as a present :)
It's Christmas Eve! Wooo!
I don't need a taste to believe,
What's December without Christmas Eve?
And it also happens to be my friend's birthday. Wow, a lot of things to celebrate today.
Hi Saph!
It isn't yet, here!
I thought Niccolò would call me a heathen and kill me or something. No he just was acting like an arse and finally agreed. If he did call me a heathen I would have hit him.
Only a heathen would bring a gun to a sword fight...
Pfft not Christmas Eve here yet Saphy!
East Coast America, ftw! *high fives Zaf*
Did Mara leave? I haven't talked to her in aaaaaaaaaaaaaages.
Exactly Kessie! Well in his defense Mevolent has been using his name against him. But yeah... I survived askig and got a yes. I'm excited. I just hope John will be happy that I managed to do this....*bites lip*
*high fives* East Coast baby!
Hi Saph! Hi Kes! [Tacklehugs] Thanks. :-)
Wbd, sorry!
#ChaseForBook9
Man
Hi Adra!
*puts on dress because I can*
Msd extreme cleaning part 2..
*Hugs the others* Yeah, NZ's just awesome that way ;) We get everything first.
Fabi, the owl in my profile pic is Iris :) Iris says hello to Henry and wishes you a happy blogversary and Merry Christmas.
*Looks at the bouquet*
..
I caught the flowers
Help
Sounds like fun, Zaf. I've somehow managed to avoid the Christmas cleaning, although it'll probably end up happening tomorrow...
*Hugs Saph*
I might take this opportunity to freak Trip out. Yes. That is what I will do
Hey, people who arrived! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Sup, dude's.
What's going on?
*waves at Iris the owl*
*watches the bouquet warily*
Why do you need help? What is it?
Hey Sparks.
Mara just married Harry
West coast! :-P
We get everything last! Except for Alaska and a bunch of islands.
Thank you Sapphy [hugs] :-)
Henry says he is a ninja.
#ChaseForBook9
Well we go to New Jersey tomorrow so its today we do extreme cleaning....:/
When I take a pic of the dress poor poor John....he finds me beautiful when I'm in my Elder's robes...me in a dress oh gods.
Hello.
Hi Sparky! Hi Star!
Hi Dragona!
mbd, I may or may not end up writing.
HEY SPARX
Sort of back, maybe. Idk
You're welcome :) ((Iris says she's a SUPER ninja)
Okay Zaffy. I might disappear suddenly to make pastry for mince pies.
That sounds fun Adra >:D Tell Trip I have the wedding planned to the finest detail ;)
Sparky! *tackleglomps*
I wonder if Lorcan is going with Alexis
Hi L!
I feel like one of the only people who doesn't have even a fictional date. Ah, well. Forever alone and proud!
Ah... Alright then Saph
Saph!
Kes!
Hey guys!
(Lu I was already talking to you so no greeting)
Dragona! Luci! *hugs them both*
Wait... I missed the Harralie? D: *Goes back up to read it*
Hey, L. *pokes* When does ITS come out? *hopes its not too soon because I have no money*
KESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS *attacklehugs* I miss being called L! Everyone calls me Luci now, and it's such a feminine name, it's weird. I prefer L. More mysterious. MORE LIKE ELAISSIAAAAAAAAA
I've completed Mass Effect 1 and now I'm on Mass Effect 2 so I'm rather happy. Actually, I'm on the second phase of ME2. Recruited my team, and now I'm on to some loyalty missions. After I've done them, all I have to do is go inside a derelict Reaper to acquire a Reaper IFF, then go and do a suicide mission then I'm all good for ME3.
Hey Dragona! *wave*
I don't have a date either, but then again it's Christmas Eve so my day's pretty packed. (Otherwise I'd ask you, Kes :P)
My internet's being its usual stupid self... wbd for a few minutes while I read the Harralie.
*laughs* Fairy nuff, Sparx!
Hey Saph!
Kes, technically, ITS is already out. But it's a little complicated. Let's jut move away from that subject, ahaha. I'm too irritated by my publisher atm.
*runs away from the attacklehug* I've always called you L, because it's cool. And I'm cool. And you're cool. So everything's cool!
Dragona, it's probably bad that you're excited to go on a suicide mission.
@Mushroom: Would you like me to call you L? :)
@Kes: I'm probably not even going to be there. :P I'll probs be here as Hunter and Ez.
I'm feeling clashing now, so I mean distonate out. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh no, Luce what's up? :(
*sends laser beams at L's publisher* Okay. *moves away from subject because it's looking at me weirdly*
And everyone's annoying me but idk if they are.
So yeah.
*goes back to listening to A7X and colouring*
#ChaseForBookNine
*whispers*
I don't have a date.
Or a dress.
Which I'm not going to wear this time anyway so no huge loss..
*laughs* I know, Kes, but most people call me Luci now, and I associate different names with different people, so it's weird, because L used to be the nickname the majority used. :P
STAR YOU HAVE THE BEST NICKNAME FOR ME EVER SHUSH YOUR FACE YOU AIN'T CHANGING IT'D CONFUDDLE ME :P
I'll dance with you Sparky
Star, I'll probably be able to make it for about ten minutes, so whatever.
It's okay, Kes, I don't have a date, either. XD
Lucy, I can call you L. if you prefer. I don't mind. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Course you will, Ads. Get on Skype.
Swiggity swahisma oh look it's Charisma.
It's not a bad suicide mission... Going through into an area of uncharted space where no one has come back from before with a team of 12 people against an army of genetically modified soldiers who are controlled by some immortal sentient machines, who have their base in orbit around a black hole in the galactic core... Ok it sounds bad but it isn't!
Star, there's a new part of my ME story.
Sparky, who needs dresses? We should all wear leather and combat boots!
@Mushroom: *laughs* *hugs* You're so amazing. :)
*hugs*
I'm going to leave soon, because we're watching Merlin . . .
Which will probably take my mind off clashing. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
I can't I'm with my friend shh
Star, didn't Merlin end?
..Helllooo?
Hi Charisma!
I'm sorry, I'm not really keeping up with anything. Might just go.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* It's fine, Fabi! It's just something I've been thinking about a lot lately. :P
MERLIN
Heeeellooo, Faaaaabiiii!
Hi Charisma!
LUCY MY CHILD HELLOHELLOHELLO
ALSO
*attacklehugs Char*
CHAR BABBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I'mma rewrite ITS so you may/may not get more Charissus next year. Just thought I'd let you know, bbz. ^_^
KES
HELLLOOOO
Yayayayay haven't spoken to any of y'all in aaageees!
CHRISTMAS EVE EVE
Adra you keep saying you're with a friend instead of being here why dont you go WITH YOUR FRIEND?
*sighs* I'm getting irritated. I'm sick of being treated like I'm a slave. All I ever do is be told to run around. I mean I'm sorry but I'm not the onw who volunteered to do Christmas. I was against us hosting any holidays simply because it causes hell in the house. And i get cursed over a chair. Dust the chairs in the kitchen and dinnjng room. Then use this to clean these chairs (no indication which)
Aww, Luuuucy! Hope it goes fabby! And yayayay for hopefully more Charisus!
@Kes: We're rewatching them. We have all the box sets, and we used to rewatch it every year. :)
You could say we were slightly obsessed. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Alrightyhoodily, so ... does everyone still do deds? Because it's been soooo loooong D:
@Char: We do. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
LUCE YOU KEEP ON IGNORING ME
IF THIS CONTINUES I SHALL DISOWN YOU
Star, ah. I sees.
Yes, we do deds still, Chaaaaaaaaaar!:3
I HOPE IT GOES FABBY ALSO!:P
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IMPERFECT IS DONE THOUGH<3
DID I IGNORE YOU FLORA?! I'M SO SORRY I'M EATING PANCAKES SO NO ATTENTION IS GOING INTO COMMENTING I AM SO SORRY
Hi Flora!

YOU'VE IGNORED MY GREETING
AND MY WORRIED COMMENT
I FEEL DISHEARTENED
