Video

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!

*eats the spout* yum.

Sir said...

An excellent dedication, though I have never had to fortune to run across enemies that are at once edible and palatable.

Then come hither Sir! Enemies from the people of the caramel blood! They're simply delightful!

*allows the shadows to litterly consume me as as I sweep the trio off their feet and stand over Aro* I remember how to cause pain. *draws a knife cutting and stabbing Aro, his blood on my hands*

Vengeous: *stands dragging Zafira off the Sense-Warden*

I remember...*claws at the Baron*

Serpine: *Nods to Remit who takes himself and Aro*

Vengeous: *pins her to a wall slowly cutting her face again* You remember don't you? But do you recall...*lets go* What that knife does? Do you?

I...I...remember...*is frozen*

Vengeous: Good. *leaves*

*falls to knees* I remember....I killed Sara I killed them all. *looks at my hands, covered in Aro's blood* Alastair said I'd harm my own child, I have. I have almost killed Aro, my child from another dimension.

(Well, folks, this is it.
The end of the road. The end of the twelve days of Christma- I mean, the twelve days of horrible and imminent death.
Everything, literally, everything, has been leading up to the grand finale, which I will perform here with much panache and aplomb tomorrow night. Questions will be answered, tears will be shed, faces will be palmed, and a jolly good time will be had by all.
I will try to do it when there are a lot of people around, but I will of course post it on Superfluous so that nobody who's interested in the grand finale will miss it.
I was GOING to do it on Monday night, but my real-life schedule got switched around on me and I am forced to do it a day early. I will not, however, be deterred from boring you all with the conclusion to the first arc of The Superfluous Adventures of Doctor Precocious and Oscar Neurotic.

Thank you for reading my little speech, if you bothered to read it. If you didn't bother to read it, then I would like to offer you a peppermint as a peace offering.
*offers peppermint*)

Snow said...

Trip... I just read your updated profile... lol

Noelle said...

*Antonio moves the blade and quickly removes the words, yet they remain ingrained in the muscle of Adra's arm*
*Antonio raises the knife again*

*Vikta holds out a hand* Antonio, don't!

*He stops*

You will only hurt her further. We must stop this, and find another way

*Antonio growls* She'll die, sister, if I can't save her.

*She nods* I know. Be patient as you can.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Oh, how nice of you. It's better than the old one, isn't it? It's fresher, more streamlined.

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

*pinches a peppermint even though I read the speech* thanks. ;)

Noelle said...

(*Raises glass, although it isn't a ded* It will be fantastic, Annika)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*stays on the ground as the hours go by* *slowly the effects of poison take effect*

Ravel: *walks in an hour after the poison began effecting Zafira* ZAF!!! *kneels beside seeing the cuts* Zaf...

Sir said...

I am quite intrigued, Ms. Barnosky. Perhaps you should begin writing the descriptions on the backs of novels, for a living. You would amass quite the fortune.

Noelle said...

*Victoria moves her hand over her sister's wound, and the skin heals, the words appearing once again* *She gives Antonio a sharp look* Something safer, please.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Scowls* My parents say no :( I understand that, I guess.
I can't believe we have two posts of comment space in a row o_O

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Well, I'm glad y'all are excited for the finale. It's good to know that people care.
I shall work extra hard on it, to make it the best that it can be.)

Snow said...

Nice description anni.

Noelle said...

*Antonio begins pacing* I need more help with this, Tori. One head is good, but two would be better...

*She nods* What of that boy? The one that Adra loves?

*Antonio stops, and slowly walks to Adra* *He grabs her throat* Why didn't you-

*Victoria hits Antonio hard across the face* Back. Off, Antonio.

*The two stare each other down*

Noelle said...

(Okay Anni! :) )

Snow said...

Okay, this ninja has to metaphorically bounce. Bye

Sir said...

Very well, Ms. Barnosky. Sleep well.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Goes downstairs to get peppermints*
I'm fine for now Adra darling :)

Bye Anni.

Hey Alexis! Try some caramel blood! Or some chocolate armour!

#ChaseForBook9

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Stormberg.

*blinks*
*stands up*

Young Ms. Alexis, what is it?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bye Snow.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Goodbye, Anni! *hugs*)

Noelle said...

*Adra's voice is a whisper*

Please... Let me be with them.

*Victoria gingerly helps her sister up, wipes the blood from her arm, and helps with her cloak*

*She nods, and fastens a crystal on to her with pure energy, to feed her*

*Adra leaves*
*She walks up to the others*

Noelle said...

(Bye, Snow!)

Noelle said...

*Curiously, she chips off a bit of chocolate armor, and bites into it*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

My internet is completely spazzing, and it looks like it's going to go any second now -_- msd.

Bye Anni and Snowy *hugs*

Ooh! Ooh! Can I have chocolate armour?

Noelle said...

(Alright... Silence... You could have just said you didn't want me to be there...)

*She slinks back*

Noelle said...

*She walks back to her lab, not even bothering to branch off into Sir's direction* *rips off necklace, and legs give out*
*Collapses into the snow*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Help me!!! Vengeous Aro and Serpine attacked Mom and she's...not...*is shaking

Noelle said...

(Really though, did I say something/ do something? You all suddenly went quiet..

And Trip- that comment I made earlier when Mara and I were at the bachelorette party- please don't take it the wrong way... I didn't mean to offend you, if I did...

I just-

Gahhhh)

Sir said...

*Blinks*

Wait. The Baron? Mr. Serpine?

...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I guess this was a bad time to do my plot thing

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Yes! Two of the Three Generals! Sir....She won't respond to anything! We don't know why

Sir said...

...

Well, young Ms. Alexis, it could be due to massive trauma, though I could be incorrect.

*cocks his head, going through some mental calculations*

Still, two of the three Generals. My, what a tempting offer.

Noelle said...

*She awakens a while later, blinking* *She holds the necklace, and goes to her lab*

*She sits on the edge of her bed for a moment*

*Turns, and falls asleep*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: they were here! I dunno where they are now! *shaking* We need Jekyll as he's skilled in this area but we gotta get Hyde to give control

Sir said...

...

Troubling. Quite troubling indeed, young Ms. Alexis.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Sharky please will you help? Ravel can't leave Mom....

Sir said...

*sighs*

I would, young Ms. Alexis, but I don't see how I can.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: There's nobody else...*sighs* Fine. I'll go to the Palace on my own

Sir said...

Young Ms. Alexis, worry not, I shall accompany you.

*stands*

Where to, then?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *takes straight to the Anchor and then they appear inside the Palace* Hyde always is around the throne room. *pulls hood over head* Sorry I'm a Sense-Warden

Noelle said...

*Priya falls from the tree and into Sir's back

Noelle said...

*before they left, if that's alright*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Join us in getting Hyde to give Jekyll back!)

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

Sorry I poofed, dinner.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

(Hi, Fabi- welcome back)

Sir said...

*blinks*

And you propose we merely drag him back to your dimension, from the throne room?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: No. I have-

Hyde: *turns corner and sees all of them* Oh. What do you want?

Sir said...

*pauses*

...

Noelle said...

*Priya is still, and quiet* *She frowns at Hyde, trying to not shy away*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hyde: A fish, a mute, and Sense-Warden. So what do I owe the pleasure?

Alexis: *enters his mind* Give us Jekyll.

Hyde: I think not. *ignores and walks behind the fish and pokes Priya* Hello mute.

Noelle said...

*Priya glares at him, then smacks his hand*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hyde: That was rude.

Alexis: *sends pain into Hyde's mind*

Hyde: *growls and cries out feelings Jekyll take control*

Jekyll: You ought to run. Hyde sent for Redhoods

Noelle said...

*Bites her lip, and flips out her brass knuckles, slipping them on*

Sir said...

*shrugs*

Ms. Kerias is in a rather nasty spot, Mr. Jekyll. Young Ms. Alexis needs your help with her.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jekyll: Oh. Very well. Miss Priya, I apologize for Hyde's words to you. He has no caring for anyone. *looks at Alexis* Take me there. Miss Priya may be of assistance, I hear you heal.

Alexis: *takes everyone through the Anchor*

Noelle said...

*Nods*

Sir said...

*sighs*

Well, young Ms. Alexis. To Ms. Kerias, then?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Priya come. *takes Jekyll up into the treehouse where into her parents room. Zafira is appearing out cold her one eye bloody and face a wreck and various cuts on her hands*

Ravel: Oh...Hello. *has been working on cleaning the wounds*

Snow said...

hello again. :)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Yes Sir you may follow too)

Noelle said...

(Hello, Snow!)

Snow said...

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.

*follows the young Ms. Alexis*

...

*takes in the scene, sighing*

Noelle said...

*Priya hops off, walking to Zaf's side*
*She kneels*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jekyll: *goes to Zafira* I get it. *examines the wounds* Baron used a poison Mevolent designed for Zafira. If we manage to wale her she will have no memories of us. *sighs* They're hidden....*puts hand over her heart* I can heal her now but if we could move her somewhere medically equipt

Noelle said...

*she signs* "Let me fix her physical wounds first"

Snow said...

zaf, when are we gonna do our flash back type thing? if we are gonna do it...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jekyll: Go ahead Priya. Its her eye I'm not sure what you can do for her.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I'm not sure

Sir said...

*silently watches*

Noelle said...

*Priya leans over, gingerly placing her hand over Zafira's eye, and pours her energy into it*

Snow said...

hmm... kay... i think i need to do a thing with lea... *thinks*

Noelle said...

(Slea)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*the cuts across the eye do vanish though it isn't certain if Zaf can see until she would wake*

Jekyll: Thank you, Priya. Would you like to help move her?

Ravel: We could move her to Roarhaven. It isn't wise to keep her in America.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Jekyll: Okay. *offers hand* You can come with me Priya.

Ravel: *gently picks Zaf up* Jekyll put your hand on me and then I can use Zafira's bracelet

Snow said...

Noelle said...

Noelle said...

((See, it's so frustrating for Niccolò to be so far gone- there are so many ways he could help people, so many problems he could help solve, but he can't... He just can't... And he wishes he could be stronger, even just for a day, and he wishes he could have come to his senses to do anything other than seek out his own death. He just wishes so much that he could do it, be even just a tad stronger because for the first time in his life here are people he loves and has relationships with who he hasn't killed yet, and even if he somehow keeps himself from killing them he'll just have to watch them die of things he might have saved them from... Darn it, I'm going to cry... Sorry for the downer, guys, I think I just needed an outlet for that... Niccolò is so internal and not being able to portray his thoughts was driving me crazy...))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: Priya you are always welcome. Remember that.

Jekyll: *places hand on Ravel's shoulder*

Ravel: *uses Zaf's bracelet to teleport to Roarhaven taking her to where she's safest* I want Cleavers guarding her. If she wakes and attacks...

Ghastly: *comes down* So he managed to take her out?

Ravel: Yes.

Jekyll: *works on Zafira keeping an IV in her to sedate her if she tries to kill anyone* *is easily ignoring Nye*

Ravel: *looks at the blood on Zafira's hands* Who...

Ghastly: What exactly did they do?

Ravel: I don't know! I came back to get her for our date and she was slumped against the wall a bloody knife in hand! Alexis got Jekyll. And Priya healed her eye...

Ghastly: We can help her. Come on. Lets go back to your office. Jekyll has her and I'm sure if there's any change they'll come get you.

Noelle said...

(Goodbye Ember!)

*Priya stops* *Sits on a bench*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: Right. I need to tell Aretha. She'll need to know we have Zafira. *goes back to office with Ghastly*

Jekyll: *looks frustrated*

Nye: Do you need assistance?

Jekyll: Unless you can produce a cure.

Nye: Did you ever think that maybe, Zafira is in a coma-like state?

Jekyll: I have. Her body is being nourished while she is out. I don't understand what Mevolent created. He isnMt stupid I give him that much credit.

Jekyll: Brilliant. I trust you know what you have.

Nye: Yes. *goes and comes back* If we mix this with...*glances down* Ah.

Jekyll: give her a small dose. We'll monitor her for a few hours, if she doesn't change we try something else.

Let me go.

No.

((This one is also sad, as a warning, and sorry for the late response. Also, thanks for all the hugs. *hugs back*

Here's the thing. Niccolò has been about a million times weaker than he let on from the very beginning. He's just so insanely introverted, and he put so much effort into seeming invincible. In battles, you guys have no idea how many times he's been on the verge of just collapsing from exhaustion (not counting the times he did do that), and how many times he nearly broke down into sobs because he hates killing and he hates hurting people, and some part of him dies every time he does. He never told anyone that- he never showed any signs of weakness- because that made him seem more powerful, frightening and threatening when he needed to be, and that gave him an edge. And he's been on the edge of flat out giving up since he first gained some control over himself again, but he forced himself to keep at it because he knew he could help people if he did, and his names would run rampant if he didn't. For a long time he used me like a crutch, and that helped him a little but still not very much. If you guys remember, a few months ago I said he was just done and that he would have faded like Celine if I hadn't locked him back away inside himself. That was long before he went to Hell. And he was in Hell for ages. That should have finally pushed him beyond repair, and far beyond the point of hiding it. But he quickly realized when he got back that since Mevolent was loose again, if he couldn't pull himself together he would end up trying to kill us all. So he wanted to die again, even though it would mean going back to Hell, because he knew he couldn't keep a lid on it forever. But of course, we wouldn't have it. Then Mevolent started using his name again, and he's far exceeded the amount of time he could keep his names back when he could pretend to be sane and now he's fallen so much farther but somehow has to keep doing it, and now he's just so messed up. And the only way he could think of to not hurt us was to worsen his state of being even more, so much that (he hopes) even a direct order with his name would be weak at best, because even if you yelled it in his mind there's a good chance he wouldn't hear it. Ah... Ouch... Anyway, I don't know how Jeckyl could pull him out of that...))

((And all those times that Javier tried to use his powers on Niccolò, it never worked properly because he was his own worst nightmare- it was normal for him... Hmm, I'm going to cut myself off now before I cry again... Sorry...))

(Ari Jekyll can try

Snow said...

(( fabi... what??))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I know, Zaf, but what I'm telling you is that this is beyond a quick healing. Also, he's messed himself up so much, you could think of his mind like a giant sea of a ton of minuscule tangled strings, and to untangle enough of them to even find him would be insanely difficult and take an insane amount if time. Keep in mind, his mental prison is designed to be thick enough so that even though he can't put a lick of effort in to stop them none if his names will get out. Also, none of us know he's done this. I only brought it up because it was eating away at me. I suppose now it's probably eating away at a good few of you, so, really sorry if it is...))

((Of course he can try. I just don't want you to get super frustrated/disappointed/surprised if it doesn't work.))

(Adra was- and is/ still working on him, you know. She won't give up easily.)

*Priya smiles, and writes* "Not a lot. You?"

Snow said...

ah... well... *lea pauses* i'm rather confused actually...

Noelle said...

*Priya frowns* "Why?"

Snow said...

i... i went to the underworld to try to bring back my girl friend, only to fond that... well, she wasn't there...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Adra i'd give up it seems it'll never work. I mean it seems any solution we find has some error or Nic is so far gone i feel like maybe she doesnt wanthim back

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I am not telling anyone to give up, Zaf. I just needed to get that off my chest, because it's always been worse than anyone knew. And then I continued to explain this to you because I don't want you to find later on that some kind of healing isn't working and think that I set it up that way at the last minute to be difficult. I am in no way telling anyone to stop trying- I certainly don't intend to- I just started off venting, and then went deeper into it because I wanted to make sure you could understand this for future reference.))

g2g, byee

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I mean with Jekyll's abilities he'd be able to make a dent he's a very skilled man when it comes to the mind. So I mean he would do something even if it appears small he'd have done something...well if he is told about Nic. He wouldn't have any knowledg unless someone asked him or he finds Niccolò

Noelle said...

*Priya frowns* "Is she not dead?"

(I won't give up, Zafira. Not at all.)

Noelle said...

(Bye Snow!)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I very badly want him back, Zaf, but first and foremost I have to stay true to his character, and that means it will be really hard to help him.))

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

(( scratch that. i'm here))

but thats the thing... i buried her myself...

Noelle said...

*Priya writes* "Then she is not dead."

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Bye Snow!

I'd have to know more about how Jeckyl works, I think, but it's quite possible he'll be able to help, even if only just a little.))

#ChaseForBook9

Snow said...

... i swear... i took her pulse, nothing... she wasn't even breathing...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh, sweet, hi again Snow!))

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I hardly find it 'hard' more like impossible. I mean I can't see how he can do this if he's so far gone he shouldn't be able to keep a wall up to lock his names, if he's so gone as you say. I'm not trying to argue I'm just pointing out how it seems anything we think of is either wrong too flawed or Nic is beyond help...I'm starting to doubt he is coming back I mean its kinda gonna get annoying after a while to sit here, when will we if/ever come up with a thing that can work? I mean...just I'm sorry I just want you to know what I'm thinking. I'm not trying to upset you.)

Noelle said...

*Pauses* "Look again"



*In her room, Adra gets out of her bed, and wraps her cloak around herself*

*She goes outside, and sits with her book*

Snow said...

*lea looks at priya* i... i need to check something... *he walks away*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(To understand Jekyll's magic...welll he can heal. When he sees a paitent, I'll use Zaf as an example. He can tell immediatly her wounds were poisoned he can tell how deep the Baron had cut and if they were beginning to be ome infwcted. With the knowledge he can then create what he needs to heal. Now with memtal illnesses or insanity he would be able to tell whats wrong, say a child was mentally retarded without talking to a parent he could tell the kid is mentally retarded. From there he can try to enter the mind and make whatever is not connecting to say let the child speak normal he can make it connect. Now if he sees Nic he will know what Nic did and can attempt to try and reverse damage done by Hell and things like that, he may get memory, the downside to this is if Nic was aware and Jekyll was working if Nic wanted he could make Jekyll relive every detail of Hell. And Jekyll would be powerless against it)

Noelle said...

*Priya nods, and runs over to Adra, kneeling next to her* *Adra looks at the younger girl* Priya, my dear, get inside...

*Priya pulls on her arm*
*She (Adra) shakes her head* You go ahead, Priya. I shall be in soon enough.

*Her friend tries to object*
*Adra shushes her*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I know you aren't, Zaf, and I promise I'm not trying to make this difficult, it's just that there's no way- Niccolò being the person that he is- it could be any easier, given the circumstances. And it's not that he blocked them off, exactly- he didn't make any mental walls, he just internally sabotaged himself. That's why I said think tiny, intricately tangled strings. You know how those tiny knots take hours to untangle when there are a few of them? There are so many knots now that no one in his head can untangle them all. I don't even think any of them know which way is up anymore. And any solution we can come up with will be long, tricky, and annoying. Actually, I'd encourage you to not focus your energies on this because you'll just drive yourself crazy, but keep it in your mind and somehow between us we'll work something out.))

(Now Hyde took what Jekyll does and made it so he can kill. Hyde can enter your mind and control you and make you kill yourself and control your will. He can also take Jekyll's abilities to see whats wrong with you, and look at Zaf say and see how the best way to kill is. Now both have been Working to use one another's magic, very unsuccessfully.

Noelle said...

*Priya huffs, and goes back in, peeved*

Snow said...

*lea, a shovel in hand, walks slowly to where he buried snow* god i'm gonna regret this if she's in there...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Well basically now you eliminated Nic. Because you now lost him unless you use copy Nic who is a real dick so if we want this to work we'd have to pour energy into this, so if we don't you'll never get him back.

Snow said...

oh for... again??

fine. I DEDICATE THIS PAGE TO CHRISTMAS CACTUSES

(Ari, have you ever thought his character is too complicated? Like I get he's screwed up... But I mean there hasta be a limit on insanity here, if you want him back we will have to wotk on it all the time, but it seems like it isnt wotth it to do this because he's screwed royally so why bother

Noelle said...

*Raises glass*

*Adra yawns slightly, reading up on memory loss, and potions she can make for it*
