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!

I think he might be able to do something, but he would have to be very careful because right now even touching Niccolò's mind might either cause him a lot of pain or drive him half mad. And it would take him ages to sort through his mind and find the right spots and then try to straighten them out, and if we wanted to heal him completely it would be that much longer- that's 500 years of scars to heal. But I think there are other things we could do too, and we'll figure something out.))
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf, please... It isn't your decision.
*shakes her head* There must be something else...
*Pulls out her alchemy book*
g2g, byee
No! I'm serious I mean I love Nic as a character but I mean it's always like he's way too screwed up to be alive, and which makes me wonder if we should save him because you went through Hell to get him from Hell and mere weeks later...this. Now what do we do? Is it worth the frustration to go save him? I mean I'll do it but I'm not sure if we should, if we do it how long until we gotta do it again? At least if I torture Zaf its not hard to help her but she isn't sane
Bye Snow!
(Well if you want Jekyll to help he'll help anyway possible. Just ask as he doesn't know what happened.
And fine Adra I'll shut up because its what you want
For Christmas Eve are we pausing anything bad to out character's so they can attemd? Like if Zaf is still lost it isnt bad if I pause that for her to attend the Ball with John?
No, Zaf. But you never think about how much what you can say can be hurtful, Zaf. I say that to warn you because it has, in the past, escalated quickly, often, to where hurtful things are exchanged
((Yay Fabi!! *hugs*
I know, Zaf. That's what he's been trying to tell all of you, and that's part of the reason why he hid it for so long. If I'm honest- and I don't mean to offend you in any way by saying this- if he had always acted how he felt, I think you (or at least ZafTC) would have grown to hate him, because you'd have grown tired if him being so depressed all the time and you'd try to help him, but he would be so difficult and you'd get frustrated. And the character is basically warped beyond all reason and I know that. Another reason why he hid most of it- he hates being all dramatic. And I get how frustrating it is to be invested in a character like that. You don't have to do anything for him, though. I mean, if it's too frustrating, because I know it's ridiculous, just leave it to me, because I have no intention of presenting you with a huge mess and expecting you to help me clean it up. Just... Yeah, losing my train of thought now , sorry...))
#ChaseForBook9
And I have made it clear to Ari my intent is not to be hurtful and I daresay she takes critisism better then I do.
But that doesn't matter. Feel free to ignore me.
Everything that inconveniences you is a mountain, you say.
#ChaseForBook9
((It should be totally fine to leave rp conflicts aside for the ball, Zaf.))
#ChaseForBook9
Alright Ari. And on a happier note...What colour is John wearing to the Ball? And you will be on befote 9:30pm out time Christmas Eve? I should be on and kinda distantly on during the afternoon until 9:30
Not talking to you...
I'm sorry, I'll stop blabbering.
#ChaseForBook9
((I'm not ignoring you, Adra, or Fabi. I might recommend that we all drop the subject now, though (even though I brought it up- sorry) so we make sure it doesn't escalate.))
#ChaseForBook9
Okay...
I agree with Aretha. This is ridiculous..
So then. ))
*She gets up, tucking her bag away, and finding a stone slab to work on*
*She goes to find a fire*
*Smiles* It's been a while since I've done this..
I'll be here the afternoon of Christmas Eve, and potentially the late night, but I can't be here for evening-ish hours, because I'll be at a big family party. I'm not certain what he's wearing yet, but it'll probably be something cheesily Christmas-y.
#ChaseForBook9
You know what? I'm gonna go do some more crunches.
I'm sorry I bothered you all.
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
And I might go to bed now, actually... Night, everyone! *hugs everyone*
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi!! *hugs* I'm sorry... You haven't bothered anyone..
#ChaseForBook9
Okay I'm obviously on during the morning too so if I'm on before you I'll be there, and also John needn't fear Ravel hurting him. Ravel has stepped back and John is free to do as he pleases for the night without fear of death, I probably can assume he's excited xD
Night Ari!
Huh. Oh yeah I do have 8am mass...probably ought to sleep
(I'll be here!
All day
Although I'm sure that will annoy some people along the way so I might ghost a little)
*Adra puts some sticks on the slab with the symbol on it* *She lights a small fire*
*Pricks her finger with the tip if a knife, and letting it fall into the flames*
*She whispers in her own language, then is in the energy stream*
*Closes her eyes*
*She whispers, sending the signal out as far as she can to wherever Niccolo will be*
Three words.
There is hope
*She repeats the phrase until she is sure it is out there, looking for his mind*
*She then throws snow out onto the fire*
Bye Aretha, Fabi *hugs*
You weren't a bother, Fabi
(When I go to NJ it'll be distantly here because we will eat a lot...Italian. Lets keep it there. And yes I sleep so night guys! *sends hugs*
*She gets to her feet, and goes back to her lab, taking her cloak off again*
*She slides into her bed, waiting for sleep*
[hugs Ari and Adra]
[Has been told to stop exercising and go to bed]
[Fine then]
[Grabs a mental butterfly net and tries to catch some thoughts]
#ChaseForBook9
(I love mental butterfly nets... *hugs*)
((hugs back))
((Mm....))
#ChaseForBook9
(SLN is making me so happy. If has made my night
Oh
Okay
Nevermind- tornado warning.
Why)
((:-/))
#ChaseForBook9
Ah... I'll only be awake a while longer before I must egress..
I also want to take the time to say how awesome you are, Fabi. You're just- yeah. *hugs* You're amazing
((Okay...))
((hugs back))
((Thank you... For a lot of things.))
#ChaseForBook9
No, Fabi- thank you. *hugs*
((hugs tightly))
((doesn't really know what to say to that))
((I think I need to sleep now, sorry, bye))
((hugs again))
#ChaseForBook9
I just realized I did SNL as SLN
I give up
Anyway, I'll be off for the night. *hugs Fabi, and all who are stalking* Sleep well, when you do
I'm going to shoot Anni. She made me cry. I love Oscar! I actually found little 'moist towelettes' from a fast food joint an keep them next to my bed. I take them camping too... But WAH!!! Don't hurt my heart like that Annika!! *Sobs*
And Em... I'm sorry... :/
No one on? Oh...
Byee
About what Ari and Zaf were saying -
I have an @Zaf and an @Ari, but I'll do Zaf first -
@Zaf: I think Jekyll's power is very cool, but I disagree with it. I don't believe people wuth mental disorders and the like have things wromg with them. I just believe they're different. And if the whole world was bipolar, and bipolar episodes were just a necessary part of life like periods are, then people who were what we right now tgink of as normal would be seen as abnormal because they weren't bipolar, and labelled with a mental disorder.
Sorry. Hunter being screwed up, I get defensive. :) It's a very cool power, and I'm not criticising that. :)
@Ari: Personally, I'm an optimist, apart from when I'm a pessimist. I believe there is always hope. On Thursday, in French, we were in the computer room. I went to get some headphones out the box, and there were like four pairs of broken ones and one pair tuat at least had all the ears attached, if only by sellotape. But tjey were all tangled up.
I spent half an hour standing there untangling them and talking to myself, and I swear, it was so fun. I wish I could just buy a load of tangled headphones and untangle them, you know?
Anyway. It looked like this big impossibly mess, and everyone else who wandwred over to the box stared at it for a bit and then wandered back because they couldn't ve bothered, or stood there waiting for me to finish but then got bored and left, but it was really quite easy. You began with one of the broken earparts, and you just focused on that one wire and rhreaded it around and threaded it through. And after like ten/fifteen minutes, it was out, and those (broken) headphones were liberated.
And there was another big tangle after that, but the tangle those headphones had been in was much smaller now, and it was easy to pull it apart.
And maybe untangling something looks impossible, but if you start with the small parts on the end, you get a lot of it out. (And then there were two wires twisted together, and that was it, but one of them was a wire from the headphomes I needed, and the only way to untwist the wire was to undo the other big tangle, and yeah.)
And maybe, if you want the okay pair of headphones, you have to put them to one side and focus on one of the thibgs that's tangled up with it all pull them off first, rather than untangling just the part you need, coz it's too hard to do that.
We can untangle Niccolo. We just have to work at it slowly and smally and logically. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Uh, morning?
I'm going to see The Hobbit today:)
#ChaseForBook9
IENIIIIIIIIIIII! :)
Rather good timing on my part, that was. I only just got here. :P
REALITY IS STILL SEEMING ODD HELP.
I mean . . . it's like in books when something life-changing happens and everything just seems to go distant, except nothing life-changing happened.
(Um, just ranting. Ignore me.)
#ChaseForBookNine
THE HOBBIT IS SO AMAZING.
I mean, I haven't seen it (well, not the second one), but John's the protagonist and Sherlock's the antagonist.
It's just so perfect.
Arghhhhhhhh. D:
#CHaseForBookNine
Hey!!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
OH MY GOD I KNOW IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL BC BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH AND MARTIN FREEMAN AND LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Something life changing happened?
I'm going out at 12 and I'm still in my pyjamas xD
#ChaseForBook9
@Ieni: IKR. D:
No, nothing life-changing's happened. :)
Well, I'm NOT going out at twelve and I'm DRESSED! *dances*
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
(We have a visitor in our house, though. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, that's good:)
I'm going out early to finish my Christmas shopping with my sister and then walking down the embankment:)
Aha, is the visitor Christmas?
#ChaseForBook9
@Ieni: I still need to get a Christmas present for my mum, but other than that I'm done. :)
And - nope. :)
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SO TIRED DAMMIT.
How are you, anyway? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I still need to buy for my brother, sister and uncle.
COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE IS GOOD!
Uh, I don't have mood swings anymore, because stuff at school is a lot better. Because stuff at school is better, I don't /need/ to come on here, so I don't feel crap and panicky about my parents. AND IT'S CHRISTMAS PEASANTS! Life is basically ace!!:)
You?
Okay, I should really get dressed now xD
#ChaseForBook9
@Ieni: THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! :) *hugs*
Sorry, you were screaming at the end, my brain just got stuck into hyper mode . . . :P
Anyway, it is really ace, in your words. :)
I'm good because holidays. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs back* NOOOO HYPER IS AWESOME WE SHOULD ALL BE HYPER ESPECIALLY YOU, BECAUSE YOU'RE ACE
It's more like Clover's words, because I got the word from her. Unlike jepic, which is your word, but loads of my friends have absorbed it into their vocabulary xD
Yay for good! I'm also good, because Atlantis yesterday, DW on Wednesday, plus the Sherlock minisode, then Atlantis, and then 3 episodes of Sherlock! And Supernatural to watch!
(Still has only jeans and pyjama tops on)
#ChaseForBook9
@Ieni: Anotehr person who watches Atlantis apart form our family??? :)
I knew nobody, and now from today and yesterday I know two! (You and Clover.)
HYPER IS AWESOME. :)
*hugs* You're acer like a racer. :)
Sorry, gtg! D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah, I watched it right from the first episode!!:D
NO NO NO YOU ARE THE BEST
Byeeeeee!!!! *hugs*

I'm good Flora! Went grandparents earlier, haven't seen them in months. Good family catch up :)
I am.
Well.
Um, yeah.
The usual.
#ChaseForBook9
Aww, good to hear :)
I'm going to see my grandparents after Christmas... We're leaving the 29th, I think.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Fabi*
[hugs Adra]
I'm making a map-thing now, so wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
I just started typing something into google, and you know the search suggestions?
I typed "why do I have"
and the first suggestion was
"why do I have no friends"
And I swear, maybe I don't know the people typing it in, but if you ever meet me, I'll be your friend.
And it's just -
all those millions of people typing that in, and couldn't they all be friends with each other?
#ChaseForBookNine
okay. *nods*
I'm on season 5 of Merlin..
I'm going to finish today
no
Hey...Hmm...I think I'll take a pic of my Christmas dress so Ari knows what ZafTC is wearing
Millions of people need a tumblr.
Or a Blogland
Skye Boat...Irish song the Men's Choir sung and omfg its so beautiful.
And I was watching TV, and this advert was on, and it was playing that "So here it is, merry Christams, everybody's having fun" song in the background, and the screen was cold and grey, and it showed us "Lucy, Christmas Eve, too scared to sleep" and then this kid on Christmas Day who was all alone and this kid on Boxing day who was battered and beaten, and idk.
And I do have friends, because I have this website, so maybe I should be doing something about it.
But idk.
Idk.
And we were watching this other advert about children starving to death, and my dad was saying that we had more than enough food for everyone, it just wasn't distributed
Me: Fairly.
Him: It doesn't have to be FAIR. It just needs to be enough so that people aren't starving.
And he said that giving money to charities to save a few lives wouldn't really help, and the whole system had to change.
#ChaseForBookNine
And I don't think sitting here talking about it and making everyone depressed is going to do much, really.
But idk.
Not about that, I'm just in that state of not knowingness where you don't know, and you don't know what you don't know but you just don't fucking KNOW.
And the people at school can laugh at me all they want, but they'll never know either.
Because maybe there's nothing to know.
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Omg poor Derek he got over 100 volunteers....See I used me head and signed up asap. He could make MANY videos
Well, actually star- about the starvation thing, that would be where communism comes in...
@Adra: Meh.
And the logical reply for that is just meh, and whatever I say next, it's always going to be meh, unless it isn't. In fact, there is no reply, because there is no answer. And maybe that's why we don't know.
Actually, there are answers.
Just none of them are the correct one.
Because the actual answer is made up of many of the answers.
But it can be made up of different answers.
But . . .
But.
But.
And maybe I don't know how to reply to you, Adra, beacue I don't know, do I? And none of us never know. And talking about how I don't know won't really make me know any more or less or get me anywhere. Or maybe it will, and I don't know.
And I DON'T KNOW.
#ChaseForBookNine
And- Star, it's okay to not know sometimes. You have all the time in the world to find out what exactly that is. It'll come for you, in time.
@AdraL Well, it has not be okay to not know, because none of us will never know, and everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
And maybe at the end, we'll know.
Or maybe we will just think we know.
Like in TimeRiders when the man was pleading for compassion, and Bob said okay, I won't kill you, you're free, and he turned around all happy, and then Bob shot him and he died, and he died happy, so Bob was pleased at having granted him that mercy.
@Adra: *hugs*
You know, some of the people I know here are just the best people in this entire world.
*nods*
And I don't know about that, either.
It's quite interesting, this not knowing thing.
But then, maybe it's a glass-half-empty-glass-half-full thing. And I could talk about not knowing, or maybe I could talk about how much there is to know, and how vast the universe is, and how much we can learn, and what a wonder it is that there is so much to discover.
#ChaseForBookNine
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ARE SO LINKED.
Because a glass is half empty and half full at the same time.
And it can't be half full without also being half empty.
If it were empty, you would dehydrate, and if you were full, you would drown.
GUYS
I JUST WORKED SOMETHING OUT HERE. :)
See? Me talking about not knowing did get me somewhere. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes, I see what you mean...
Especially that last statement. Not knowing is okay, but the longer you explore the world and things, the more you will gather. And you might not know how much you know until you actually know it.
So yeah, that's what I say. Try to know as much as you can. It's interesting. And then maybe you'll know what you're looking for.
And you can ignore me if you want, but the way I look at it is, I put my damn soul into this place, and if I try and make Blogland a safe refuge for other people, then I can fucking use it too, because apparently, what goes around comes around, and I've gone around and now I am fucking coming around. :)
So if you want to moan at me, that's fine. Next time you want me help, I'll just so no, and you can go die in a hole.
(Actually, we all know I won't say that, but still.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Like yin and yang *nods*
*my
"You might not know how much you know until you actually know it."
Thank you. *nods*
"Try to know as much as you can. It's interesting. And then maybe you'll know what you're looking for."
*nods again*
*just, you know, nods*
*and thinks*
#ChaseForBookNine
Of course, Star... Equivalent exchange
*Pets Star's forehead*
@Adra: YES. :)
*hugs*

FTISLAND HAVE A NEW SONG OUT
IT'S CALLED 미치도록 AND IT'S SO PRETTY
EXCUSE ME WHILST I FANGIRL
I AM A MONTH BEHIND WHAT THE FRIG IS WRONG WITH ME
HOW DID I MISS THIS
FTISLAND ILYBBYS
(Am writing Imperfect and had to do research on the lyrics to Sarang Sarang Sarang c:)
WHY IS WRITING SO MUCH RESEARCH UGH
Ello Luci,writing is hard
Guuuys so my English teacher said I should send her everything that I write because I write great and wow. I wrote a story about a character deciding to be good or evil and she told the whole grade about it!! *fangirls* worry about my rant
WRITING isn't hard. It's the research that's annoying, haha. :P
I'm writing my third book and I didn't even realise how much research I'd done for the published one until I got to this one and went "WOAH. I need to do some research if that's what I want to happen." haha:3
Writing can be hard - depends on the person. Regardless, it's a lot of work. But the finished product is worth it so it doesn't matter :)
and what now, third book?
Yeeesh. Research is hard. When ixhave an idea I write a lot about it. I had to research names ans ideas and things.
Night Surgeon!
I'm a turnip, so listen to Flora ^-^
Writing is just the only thing I'm any good at, haha:3
Yeah, third book. ITS > Override > Imperfect and I'm working on a secret book which is pretty weird. I came up with the idea in the middle of a Philosophy class ^-^
Ditto Nevyar! I always like names to mean something :)
@Luce: But turnips are the best!
Ooo, you finished Override? :D when can I read it?? :D
Wow. My friends and I are writing things. Great and epicaltastic job,Luci!. Writing is easy,but ideas are hard for me to come up with (if anyone wants and needs someone to help with writing,email me at nevyaramberite@gmail.com
My. Character literalt is my name backward and the last name is from a book series and I changed it a bit. Its from "Nine princes in Amber" which means a lot to my dad. Means a lot to me. But the teams and places have important names
RAINBOWS ARE THE BEST FLORA WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!;O
Yeah, I wrote it for NaNo and finished it a few days early. It's terrible though, so it's never seeing the light of day. :P
I'm almost always writing, Nev. It's all I ever seem to do. And fangirl. And cry over pretty clothes. Especially corsets. Or corset jeans. Anything corseted. It's gorgeous. c:
Luci,me and you are already bestiest friends. No turning back now :) ;)
I never do Nano I always write
I always am writing,so Nano doesn't help me :)
Um... Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
I only did NaNo this year. Thought it'd be a laugh. Instead it was stressful and incredible fun. But I don't think I'll do it again. :P
I just write for my self,ut I'm going to be an author. I just like imagining things
Aw, that's awesome Nevyar :)
@Luce: Well, there was no point in stating the OBVIOUS was there? ;) :P
Buut but but :( I wanna read it! :( pleeeeaaase!
I'm already an author, but I don't think it's what I'll be in the future. Not sure I'm good enough, to be honest.
Think I'll be a lecturer or something. :P
*laughs* I'll let you read some Imperfect if you like...? But not Override. Unless I find parts which I like. Mostly it's just crap. :P
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :D
It can't have any spoilers in it, can it...?
Remember what you did to Marni
And I dunno which parts you've read...!
Have you read a part beginning with...
'The moment I open the door to leave, I shiver as snow begins to float into my house. Sighing, I zip up my coat, and pull my hood up to keep me warm. As I step out of the house, I can’t help but grin – I love the snow!
When I was born, apparently it was snowing. And the first time I went outside, the snow was falling heavier than ever before. I guess a part of me feels like being in the snow is like being safe – going back to before my parents became so strict. They’ve always been strict, but never as much as they are now.'
Or the part starting with:
'Sea water sprays against my back, and I shiver. It’s cool here, on the beach. Living in a costal town means there’s often more of a breeze here though, so I should be used to it, but I’m not.
“Here, take my jacket.” Theo says, pulling it over his head and offering it to me.
“I’m okay, thanks.” I smile.
“Don’t make me force you to put it on! You need to take better care of yourself, you turnip!”'
Awe Luci thathat seems co
"You turnip"
Authors who are nice
Authors who can write
AUTHIRS WHO ARE EPICALTASTIC AND NICE AND CAN WRITE!
Haven't read either!
And I TOTALLY didn't just put my laptop on top of my cat by accident...
whoops.
Um, then read this. Sort of cute, I guess. Some random fluff I wrote for Imperfect the other week:
I’ve always loved the park. Almost as much as I love the beach, actually. Nature is the only place I manage to feel calm. But, sometimes I’m convinced that the weather enjoys mirroring my emotions, because the storm I’m stood out in with Theo right now is showing exactly how I feel – scared, alone, angry and hurt.
As the cold water hits my bare flesh, my fresh wounds sting, but I manage not to wince. My arms were covered completely in blood this morning because of yet another break down. Sometimes I’m convinced that I’m the weakest person in the world. Nobody else seems stupid enough to let everything get to them.
More than anything I just wish I could stop it. Stop wanting this pain. Stop needing this pain to help me cope. I’m addicted to it. I want to stop. But I’m too weak.
“You’re so strong to have made it this far, El. I’m so proud of you. I wish I could be as strong as you are.” Theo says, moving my soaked hair from my face.
“The cuts on my arms and legs tell another story completely…”
“They’re battle scars. Symbols of battles you’ve fought and won, remember? You’re the one who wrote that in your book.”
“If I’m strong, then why the hell do I cut myself?! It’s called being weak!” I shout at him, surprising myself and him.
Taking a deep breath, I force myself to calm slightly. Even though we’re in the middle of a storm, we’re not the only ones out in the park, apparently.
“Why do I make myself even more imperfect than I already am?! I’m weak, don’t be stupid.” I sob, refusing to meet his eyes. If I look at him, I know I’ll fall down even further, and I’m already in danger of never getting back up.
“It’s not that you’re weak, it’s that you’re too perfect. I’ve got this theory about angels, you know? Some people, those with battle scars, are too perfect for the evils that this earth holds. They’re the people who seem to look out for others the most and do whatever they can to improve other’s lives. They’re the guardian angels. They fell from heaven to help humans, only… They’re used to the purity and perfection of heaven, not the ugliness of earth. They cut to make themselves less perfect, because they want to fit in.”
“Theo-“
“No, Elaissia, listen to me: you’re my guardian angel and you’re the most perfect being I’ve ever laid my eyes on. You’re the one who sheds light on a dark situation, you’re the idiot who makes me smile when I’m angry at… well, anything. I’m telling you now; I will always live by this theory, because it’s the only thing that will explain how you can be so perfect.”
Even though all I want to do is sit in my bed and cry, I turn to face him, “I’m not perfect.” I tell him, shaking my head sadly.
After a moment of silence, I find myself wrapped in his arms and hear his voice quiet in my ear, “Nuh-bak-eh upps-uh.”
Frowning, I look at him, confused. “What does that mean?”
“It means that there’s nobody else like you.”
“Saranghae.”
“I love you too.” He replies, kissing my head. “Narang gatchi eessuh.”
“I don’t speak Korean you turnip.” I say with a slight laugh as Theo wipes away my tears with his checked shirt sleeve.
“I do.” Zoye says with a grin. She’s almost as drenched as we are, so I take it that she got caught in the rain as well as me and Theo did. Today she’s wearing a cute white corset, a pair of red super skinny jeans and black skeletal heels – she always seems to be able to make me jealous with how stunning she looks.
As she ties a red ribbon into her hair she playfully winks at her brother before telling me what Theo said: “Stay with me.”
“Thanks Zo, ruin the moment why don’t you!” Theo laughs, shaking his head.
“I’m pretty sure you did that well enough on your own.” She grins at him.
“Oh, because I am terrible with beautiful women, aren’t I?”
“Yes.” I tell him, finally speaking up. “You’re terrible with beautiful women. But you’re perfect with me. Narang gatchi eessuh.”
“Yeongwon.”
“You can stop speaking Korean now, Theo.” Zoye says, and begins insulting Theo in an amused manner, but neither he nor I care, because we’re too wrapped up in each other. Literally.
“You two are beyond ridiculous.” Zoye says, throwing her arms up in the air.
Laughing, I hug Theo even tighter, thankful for his warmth in the coolness of the wind and rain. It’s not that the wind and the rain bother me; it’s just an excuse to be so close to him.
“I’m sorry.” I tell him the moment Zoye finally gets bored enough to leave us.
“Why are you sorry, El?” He frowns, knitting his eyebrows together in that adorable way he usually does when he’s confused.
“I’m sorry for being so stupid.” I tell him, as I rise to my feet. “Maybe there is hope for me after all.”
“Hope can’t die, my angel.” Theo informs me as his arms slide around my waist and he stands up with me. “You need only open your eyes to it.”
(super cheesy, I know, but idc)
Jekyll: *walks back down glancing at Zafira, still out cold* Nye the sedasives were only supposed to sedate her for an hour....
Nye: I realize. I've monitored her and it seems it only woke her for a certain amount of time. Perhaps if we give her a stronger dose?
Jekyll: That may work. Maybe I can get her to trust me. She may know me from Hyde.
Nye: *goes and gets the antidote* Here. Lets give her a bigger dose.
Jekyll: *takes and injects it into Zafira* I do hope this works.
Aww, no that's not cheesy! It's cute! I makes me feel all fuzzy :3
(Yeah tis cute...)
Theo's cheesy as hell, I love him.
His sister - Zoye - teaches Elaissia some basic Korean earlier on in it, so I wrote that and got super excited about how cute they were... ^-^
Sea water sprays against my back, and I shiver. It’s cool here, on the beach. Living in a costal town means there’s often more of a breeze here though, so I should be used to it, but I’m not.
“Here, take my jacket.” Theo says, pulling it over his head and offering it to me.
“I’m okay, thanks.” I smile.
“Don’t make me force you to put it on! You need to take better care of yourself, you turnip!”
“Do your worst.” I wink, starting to run off with a laugh.
“You turnip…” he laughs, running after me.
Somewhere along the line, I lose one of my shoes whilst running, so kick the other off and just run the rest of the way down the beach barefoot, with Theo hot on my heels.
I run until I reach the other side of the beach, where I come to a dead end and find myself standing in front of a wall. I spin on my heel, and go to make a dash for it, but Theo’s here before I can, grinning.
“Hey.” I smile. I can feel the cold rock against my almost bare back – I ought to learn to wear more than just a bikini top and shorts to the beach, even if it is warm this time of year.
Theo steps closer to me, so there’s almost no space between us and we momentarily stand there with our bodies pressed together. He’s radiating heat, so even though I’m still soaked from surfing, I’m warmer than I was.
Our lips come together, and our bodies get even closer (though I didn’t think it was possible for us to) so that we are almost one. This is the most passionate kiss he and I have ever shared. We’ve been together since the Christmas party, when he kissed me for the first time. I didn’t think I wanted that, but I do. I want him, and I need him. Now I have him? It’s nothing like it was with Quinn, everything is right. What we have feels real, and I know I don’t have to hide what’s wrong.
Theo and I probably won’t last, but what we have can never really die.
*
As the day goes on, the beach gets busier and we decide to get our things and go – I don’t particularly like crowds and Theo is pretty awkward around people. He’s a typical geek, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not perfect to me.
He manages to get me to wear his hoodie, eventually, which is really soft and smells like him – like mint and safety. His hoodie keeps me warm, and so does walking so close to him. Our hands are laced together the way only a real couples usually are. Walking like this seems to have become normality now, even if we are cheesy and like a typical couple I don’t care. It’s almost as though it’s one of those ridiculous chick flicks where the girl gets the guy and they live happily ever after, and how everything’s always so magical.
Things aren’t magical between Theo and I, though. They’re real. We fight sometimes, but there are days like today which are as perfect as life can get for me. But, I guess, what we have is cheesy and typical of a terrible romance novel or film. I don’t care, I’m only bothered that now I’m happy and nothing can take what Theo and I have away from me. This is something people won’t mess up for me!
“Can we walk home?” I ask, wanting to spend as long as possible away from my house. My parents won’t be back until eight tonight, so as long as I’m back home by then it should be okay. I’m only rebellious because if I wasn’t, I’d have no life whatsoever.
Ah
“Sure.” He smiles. “As long as you know the way, because I’m sort of terrible at geography…”
I laugh. “Not much of a geek are you? I thought you were good at everything!” I joke. We joke about stereotypes a lot, because of how they affect us. Somehow joking about things makes them easier to cope with.
“You’re the geography genius! I’m better at the sciences than anything.”
“I’m terrible at science.”
“Which is great, because your parents are convinced I’m tutoring you to help you with it, and not because I want to spend more time with you.” He grins.
“You’re amazing.” I tell him, wrapping my arms around him and resting my head on his shoulder.
“If I’m that amazing, fancy telling me why you’ve got a new cut along your stomach?”
“I didn’t-“
“El, what happened? I’m worried about you.”
I step back, away from him. “I didn’t do this, I promise! I wouldn’t-“
“Elaissia. What happened?”
“It doesn’t matter.” I say, firmly.
“Tell me, please! I want to make things better.”
“It doesn’t matter.” I say again, but this time I pull his hoodie off of me and ball it up in my hands. “And neither do you if you can’t trust me!” I shout, throwing his hoodie at him with as much power as I can.
“All I want is for you to talk to me!” he shouts back. “I’m fed up of all the secrets, because when you hurt, I hurt too. When I see you’re in pain, I feel like someone is stabbing me repeatedly in the chest, and I struggle for breath. I freak, because if you’re not okay… how can I be?”
“You can be okay, because you’re you! You don’t act every day, like everything’s completely fine! You don’t adopt a different personality around your parents, because that’s how they want you to be and you don’t hide that you’re a geek when in school, but I have to! Because that’s what people expect. Girls like me are supposed to read magazines and chat about guys – not read comics and books and talk about gaming and writing.”
“El, you don’t have to pretend! If people really cared, they’d stick around for what I see in you, and not for what you act like you are!”
“Well, not many people like the real me…” I say, staring at the grown as tears well up in my eyes. I can’t look at him, because he seems to be able to make me open up and spill out all of my problems. He makes me want to tell him everything.
Silence falls over us. Not the good kind of silence, where everything between us is perfect, and we can just sit and say nothing and have a good time, the bad kind of silence. This is the kind of silence where nothing is okay and everything hurts. Breaking the silence is painful, but I force myself to do it as a bubble of anger swells up inside of me.
“You want to know what’s going through my mind?!” I yell.
He nods. “I want to help you.” He’s calmer, now. Theo is much better at controlling his anger than I am.
“Fine, just… Don’t expect cheerful crap about rainbows and unicorns… Thoughts swim through my mind: loneliness is better, there's nobody to hurt you then; maybe running away will solve everything; what if I just end it? What then?
“Nobody would care, because I don't matter."
I dedicate this page to writing, singing, and the arts in general. And to Derek's video
Our eyes meet, and I realise his are glassy with tears.
"You matter to me." his words are no louder than a whisper. "Doesn't that count for anything?"
"Of course it does," I start, but lose myself halfway through my sentence.
"Even when the world is falling apart and everything looks down - remember that we are always okay. When nothing else is, we - me and you - are completely fine. We're okay, even if nothing else is." He pulls me into a hug, and kisses my forehead lightly. "I'm glad we're at least trying this." He sounds happier than I ever have heard him, even happier than two months ago when we kissed for the first time. I didn't mean for it to happen, but it did. And now we're where we are.
I think I'm falling in love.
But standing in his arms, feeling the rising and falling of his chest against mine, smelling the minty scent that I've come to relate only to Theo and being so close to him, like this, right now... That tells me it's not a thought; it's a fact.
(I like this part it's cute c:)
*fangirls*
I don't read stuff like that,but
AWWWW
*opens eyes after a few minutes not freaking but is obviously afraid*
Jekyll: *goes to* Zafira, I promise you'll be fine.
You aren't Hyde.
Jekyll: No. Not today, dear. Hyde is not coming out. We found you, do you remember anything?
I rememer...I'm with Javier. Javier Fyreheart...where is he?
Jekyll: Let's just say he's in Blogland. Nye can get him.
T-thank you.
*IN BLOGLAND*
Javier: You're saying she has no memory from the last time she became Justaria?
Nye: That is correct. She wants you. Jekyll believes if she can stay with you it may trigger more memories. He's going to work on her memories in a few hours. He's working on her eye. And other poisoned wounds.
Javier: I'll come. *goes with*
Javier?
Javier: Hey Zaffy. *sits next to*
Sorry, still distant
