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!

*Turns her head to Trip*
I'm sitting on your lap
What do you think.
Niccolò is very, very fond of your ded, Trip. Very, very incredibly fond. And he agrees wholeheartedly. He didn't necessarily want me to say that, either, he just agreed so very much so I figured I should say something. I think another thing people don't really know about in its entirety because Niccolò is so introverted is how attached he is to his coat. And why. And a few other things about it. Also, he figured out how to fit another eight knives in it. So now there's 48. I wanted him to make it 42, but we can't have everything we want.
#ChaseForBook9
@Ari: That's beautiful. :) :) *hugs*
@Mara: No, he wasn't married to Ez, if he was married. :P
As usual, though, it ended in bloodshed and tears.
(She didn't die, though.
Well, not then.
Long story.
I plan to write all of this plotline out at one point. I like it. Usually my plotlines suck, so when I get one with more than one aspect, I'm quite impressed.)
And - thanks. :) :) :) About the song lyrics comment, but not beacsue of it, because of the way you said it. :)
@Trip: Brilliant ded. :) *hugs* Hear, hear.

#ChaseForBook9
I THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING A GAME
THIS ISN'T A GAME
THIS ISN'T FUN
hALP
*A man in a suit, carrying a briefcase walks up behind Lorcan and Amelia. He clears his throat and the pair turn around*
Man: Evening Mr.Horowitz, Ms.O'Connor. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Brodrick Jar, I'm the recruitment officer of Oiche Gorm.
*Lorcan stood up and took the business card that was handed to him, he turned it over once and twice before looking back at the man*
Lorcan: Blue Night? I never heard of it, what brings you here Mr. Jar
Jar: Well my company is looking for beings, werewolves in particular, to test out a new potion in the making. Basically, it makes your wolf more interconnected to your control frequency. So you control your wolf completely, your wolf doesn't control you.
*Lorcan gasped slightly as he looked at Amelia. She smiled slightly at this thought too even though she was in as much control of her wolf as she could be*
Amelia: So what do we have to do?
Jar: You just have to come to our facility for an 18 week introduction course and afterwards its a 6 month trial course just so we can see if you are affected in anyway. After that your training lasts about 4 years.
*Lorcan rubbed his hair*
Lorcan: Thats a long time away from home.
Amelia: Yeah it is Lorc, but its a chance to finally get our damn wolves to see that we're the alphas, not them.
Lorcan: No more anger.
Amelia: No more controlling emotions.
Lorcan: No more killings
Amelia: No more cages and chains.
Lorcan & Amelia: We're in!!
*catches tumblesoz and begins to drink it, rapidly*
#ChaseForBook9
GOOD
SCOOT OVER THEN
OH MYG OD
HARRY'S NIPPLES AND THE TOP OF HIS BUTTERFLY TATTOO LOOKS LIKE A SMILING FACE
hello dere nice to meet you
*explodes into glitter because I've had enough*
(Em! HI!
Oh my goodness)
*Takes more tumblesoz from bar and throws it at Trip*
HEY EM *HUGS*
I'M SCARRING PEOPLE FOR LIFE
Oh my freaking god.... I am dyjng of laugher.
*grins evilly and licks ed* mwahaha *runs off on a licking spree, licking everyone*
maRA PLEASE CALM YOURSELF
Hello Em
*Screams and jumps back* A girrafe licked me?
(SERIOUSLY EM?! FOR GODS SAKE LOOK IF YOU DONT WANT LORCAN AND ALEXIS DATING WHATEVER THEY CAN BE DONE AS OBVIOUSLY YOU RATHER AMELIA
NAIELELE HORRANDJEH
*rp Trip walks up to Mr. Jar*
Hello Mr. Jar, I'm Trip Castalan, Scottish sanctuary head spotter. Can I talk to you for a moment?
#ChaseForBook9
(Em though! Oh my goodness!!! *hugs* They get to be happy!!! *cuddleboos*)
I AM NOT A FREAKING GIRRAFE EDWARD FLETCHER!!! *licks*
A baby turtle?
I'm going. Maybe I'll calm down, proobably won't. Obviously I'm not good enough. Grrr. Would love to stay but I'm too irritated
I can not
(Wow Zaf. That was a bit of an overreaction, wasn't it? Ah! Another girl who is in some way emotionally attached to Lorcan! I'm sorry, but that was immature.)
#ChaseForBook9
((But Lorxis
No
My feels))
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Zaf?
*screams*
Because, er, god forbid Lorcan talk to other women?
I mean- Adra hangs out with Niccolo all the time, that doesn't mean that she's cheating on Trip.
People can be friends...
*screamsbutforotherreasons*
#ChaseForBook9
NOT A TURTLE EITHER!!* noogies ed*
*Pats Trip's shoulder*
*Throws more tumblesoz at Trip*
Ow, a penguin then?
(Zaf there is nothing going on between Amelia or Lorcan. They are friends.)
*Jar looks at Trip and nods*
Jar: Please Lorcan and Amelia, talk amongst yourself and have a think.
*He walks towards Trip, leaving the two teenagers to chatter excitedly to one another*
Jar: Can I be of assistance Mr. Castalan?
((Woah, Zaf, please try to calm down. Nothing has even happened yet.))
#ChaseForBook9
No. Just the penguin queen.
so apparently the 10 inch payne train is actually the 11 inch payne train?????
jesus christ i'm surprised sophia isn't in the hospital yet
*Hugs Robin if she's still here*
But I am the penguin king.
MARA!!! NUU!! STOP!!!
*hugs everyone*
:/
I'll stop now.
*Crawls away*
Er.. Mara... That might be a little graphic there..
(I don't give a crap anymore. I don't I don't think one can even count Lorexis anymore as whenever I do have Alexis it isnt working and I'm sorry but no woman is waiting for him to come back and run off with Amelia to some company. Yah. No. So if he goes I'm ending Lorexis. Maybe I may either way.
Msd dinner soon
Nope. Nope nope nope. Cant have that. I claimed rain over the penguins first
...But if Alexis truly loved him, then she would know that that is what is best for him.
Then again, she's only, like, 15
(Sorry Ari calm is not in my vocab anymore. I lost calm a while ago.
*it is cold tonight*
*dark clouds drift across the pearly white moon*
*icicles hang from twisted trees*
*cold, hard tombstones jut from the earth like teeth*
*and snow piles up on the sides of the roads*
It is a good night for murder.
*he walks through the graveyard*
*silent as the calm before a storm*
*he is not very tall*
*and not very broad*
*he has snow-white hair that matches his skin*
*and vivid pink eyes*
*his face is severe, but not lined, he does not look old*
Mmmmmm.
What a beautiful day in paradise.
(Hullo, Blogland.
*winks*
*snaps fingers*
*leans against a lamp post*)
Wait, wasnt their two penguin tribes that joined?
Hey Anni *hugs*
Well, you see, I am in currently running a... werewolf help programme shall we call it it, and I couldn't help but hear about your rather fabulous drug. Now, I was just wondering if I could possibly buy some of this, for my own, well I guess charity's use. And in return, potential help with some funding to help more werewolves. You see, we already have an excellently widespread programme, and could help you help more people.
#ChaseForBook9
#ChaseForBook9
(Exactly she's 15 she isn't going to wait. To her if he goes she isnt waiting, she'll move on because she barely sees him as it is. She isn't going to wait or even take this kindly so meh if Lorexis ends I'm not fixing it
Anni! *hugs*))
*Appears behind Trip* Who needs funding?
(*laughs*
I knew I wouldn't be able to keep my fabulous personality from shining through.
Yes, it is I, Annika, and I am about to live-roleplay something I've wanted to do for a very long time but have kept putting off.
It will be a bit dark, a bit funny, and will fill a pothole that has needed to be filled for a long time.)
Hello Annika
(Hi Anni. What's going on here?)
#ChaseForBook9
Hey...im gonna guess ??? Is annj.
*growls* god damn it
(*I meant to say plothole, gosh-darned autocorrect.)
(Well, I believe that you're taking this too personally, Zaf. It's a little silly to try to blackmail Em and her plot by threatening to break them up... You don't even know what's going to happen.)
*Adra slinks back*
*Further back*
*Through the doors of her lab*
*Hides her face*
(Alright. I might be a bit slow, as I'm not the fastest typer, so, forgive me.)
*wanders aimlessly* *sits by treehouse*
Alexis: *sits by* Mom....
Yeah Lexi?
Alexis: I don't know what to do. I'm lonely I never see Lorcan...
I want to roleplay but now I'm kind of scared so eh
Hrrm... I need some shiz for snow to do...
(Aye me too Mara. I'm probs going to anyway...)
*Works on getting rid of the bruises from where she was kicked repeatedly*
*Sulks*
How about Lea?
Wahey!
#ChaseForBook9
Snow is a baby turtle by the way
*looks around for a tombstone he likes*
*finds one and sits on it*
*the name on it is a palindrome*
I like palindromes . . .
*straightens his blazer*
*reaches into his coat*
*and pulls out an old black notebook*
*identical to the one belonging to Doctor Precocious*
Hmm . . . Boring day, isn't it?
I wonder who it will be tonight . . .
Who will it be . . .
*quietly flicks through the book*
(Well if she wants him to go, I'm telling you Alexis won't wait. I mean a lot happens in time so why should she wait? Obviously he rather go off with Amelia, look through her eyes, to her she really isn't seeing what he sees. She's 15 she's going to get jealous and going to be mad.
I am not a baby turtle!! *tackles ed*
*Vanishes and appears behind Snow* Are you sure?
Hmm... Are we all going to roleplay now? *has so much to dooooo* *in the rp* *like, a lot of stuff is happening at once* *and I still sort of want to just write more* *grr*
#ChaseForBook9
A
Lso, im ignoring that trip. Dirty minded person
I guess Ari vanished :(
Ugh. Maybe I'm gonna go play on the computer after dinner
*each page has a name written on the top*
*and apart from the names, all the pages are blank*
*he starts humming 'Smooth Criminal'*
*the pages all have different names*
*and one of them is Doctor Precocious*
*he flips to a page that reads Varnie Illuminate*
*and sees that ink is fading up from the page*
*forming a drawing*
*forming a face*
Ah . . .
*smiles*
*and gently caresses the silver revolver in his coat pocket*
Who are you . . .
*squints at the page*
Who . . . are . . . you . . .
(Sorry, reading.)
@Em: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY HAPPINESS! :) *hugs*
@Mara: . . .
*backs away slowly*
:P
@Anni: I freaked out in the cinema today because a coffee advert came on and Osmosis were going to have coffee but they didn't.
I hope you're pleased with yourself. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Don't be scared, Mara! *hugs*
#ChaseforBook9
Feel free to go wherever you want, as always, Ari. *nods*
-
*Within minutes, the bruises are gone*
*Works on the one on her cheek*
This is just getting ridiculous, now
(Just because you justified your actions doesn't mean that's why you did them.)
#ChaseForBook9
Yes I am sure. And besides, if im a turtle than your a parrot
I kinda am interested in Nic's nephews and niece. As is Javier...how old are they?
*Eats cracker* I am not a parrot, you are a fish?
Best top ever
(Trip, I get you don't like me, you've said it. Can we try to coexsist?)
I ded to books as they are doorways to skulduggery pleasants world
The best top. And no, im not a fish. Im a... oh darn it... I am a turtle... watashi wa kame desu
*the face is finished*
*it is an elegant black-and-white sketch*
*quietly looks at the picture*
*then bursts out laughing*
HA!
HA HA HA!
Varnie, Varnie, Varnie, why on EARTH should this be my task for today?
Why should I-
*remembers he should be writing this down*
*starts scribbling on the page*
. . . Why should I bother?
A man with hair that looks that silly shouldn't be harmful to you.
*he waits for a moment*
*then words fade up on the page*
*he reads them*
. . . Oh . . .
*a smile spreads across his face*
He's the CEO of the League, is he . . .
Well, that changes things . . . a lot . . .
*he laughs*
*it sounds like snow crunching underfoot*
http://harralie.blogspot.ie/2013/12/omg-manip.html
I blogged :P
It's nothing special though.
*A soft knock on the lab door*
*Adra sets her things down, and goes to open it*
*Priya stands there*
Priya!
*Hugs the girl tightly and swings her around in her arms*
Oh, Priya... Thank goodness you're alright! Come in, come in!
*Pulls the smaller girl through the door*
TURTLE!!! (My ded was rushed, sorry)
*Raises glass* Hear hear!
You mean how old are they now? Oh, jeez, hang on... I'll need a minute...
...You know, I started writing out some of Niccolò's backstory. His life before he stole any names. I only have a tiny little bit of it, but I could post it (or part of it) somewhere, if you guys want? There are descriptions of his relatives and everything, so that might be useful to know. Actually, you know what? I'm going to be distant for a bit compiling the stuff that I have and then post it all nice and organized-y, so I'll be distant for a bit.
#ChaseForBook9
(I have no issues with you, it's your actions I don't like.)
