Well then.
As you know, I've been writing. Writing, writing, writing. You don't get to do an awful lot of other things when you're writing. Well, sometimes you do, but not when you have deadlines like these. The short stories I'm writing, all of them, need to be delivered by Wednesday. The first draft of Book Nine needs to be delivered by the middle of next month.
To say I am a tad busy would be something of an understatement.
Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and why would Jack want to be a dull boy? I've been doing things. Reading things. Watching things.
Take this evening, for instance. This evening I watched the last Sherlock of the current season. The first episode of the season was oddly character-driven, at the expense of the central mystery, but I didn't mind that in the least. The second episode, the wedding episode, was hilariously sublime. And the final episode, having Sherlock face off against a truly unique villain... well. It was just wonderful stuff.
And I've been reading. Stephen King, mostly. Going over his early works. His classics. When I was a kid, I went straight from The Three Investigators and the Hardy Boys to Stephen King and these wonderfully violent and detailed Gold Eagle books like The Executioner and Able Team and Phoenix Force, books that gave you diagrams of the weapons they used at the back of the book. Basically, I graduated from kids books to horror and action. And after a few Stephen King books like Cujo (the first King book I can remember reading) I went on to James Herbert and Shaun Hutson — overtly violent and brilliantly horrific.
And now, after all this time, I'm going back to Stephen King, and loving it all.
Recommendations? Read The Stand. Then read It. Two MASSIVE books. You won't be sorry.
So these things have been my break from the writing. Christmas, for me, was mostly about the short stories. But there was one story...
It started off fine. Exactly as I planned. It would be a new kind of story, something I hadn't really tried before. It would probably end up as one of the longer stories of the collection, though, but not by much.
I thought.
I have just finished it. Half an hour ago, I finished it. At the moment, before edits, it is over 20,000 words long. That's twice as long as The End of the World. So you'll be reading through Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!), and hopefully enjoying the stories, and then you'll get to this brand new novella, a good, solid chunky story, and I think this story alone will make the collection worth the money.
I think. I hope. Right now I'm far too tired to form a coherent opinion. All I know is, I've been working hard. And it's not over yet.

Effie: HellOoOooo Zaf!
Ioux: Hello, Grand Mage Kerias. [bows]
Liz: Hello, Zaf.
Rook. Hi...
Ari: *sees Gary* *leaps up and tenses like a cat about to pounce* *eyes wide with excitement* Hi there, Gary...
#ChaseForBook9
Gary: *stares at Aretha*
*opens his mouth to say something*
*shuts it*
*opens it again*
*and shuts it*
*checks that his coat is symmetrical*
Star: That's me and my friend making a star out of our fingers, because my friend was saying how you can't make one with one hand. :) I'm the hand that ends in a black Superdry sleeve (those holes in the sleeve can be quite annoying, really. Very cool, though), and then you can see C's long spindly fingers and B's short little hobbit fingers. :)
Ez: *glares at Star* Nobody gives a fuck. Shut up.
Hunter: *gives Ari a condescending look* Because taking someone out from afar with a sniper rifle is really battling them.
@Ez: *gives a 'weighing up options' gesture* *turns his eyes yellow, then points from his eyes to Niccolò and shrugs*
Ez: *smiles at the yellow eyes* Gremlins can't move.
Hunter; *whispers* YES THEY FUCKING CAN.
Ez: Not as fast.
Hunter: We don't know. They're INVISIBLE. *rubs gloves*
#ChaseForBookNine
*sits with Ravel and Javier and Alexis and Olivia*
Hello all those who said hi!
Jekyll: I assume Hyde is playing? I believe so. Hello Mr. Croatoan.
Star: *fangirling about Osmosis* :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Gary: *weakly*
Hunter, it's your turn.
Oscar and Precocious: *not really paying attention*
Effie: [Waves cheerily]
Gary: *notices Effie*
*looks from Aretha to Effie*
*seems to shrink*
. . .
*he blushes*
*in the sense that a barely perceptible tinge of color appears on his stark-white cheeks*
Star: (Like, there's only three of us. I only has one hand, beacsue I was holding the phone. Also, five-pointed star.)
Hey, people who arrived!
Hunter; *waves vagely in the direction of Zaf+Ravel+Javier+Alexis+Olivia+Jekyll+Hyde*
@Ez: You can help me out, yeah? Like you did that other time?
Ez: That was reallllly hit and miss.
Hunter: *looks at Niccolò* I'll take the dare.
I'm not sure how you're going to get a yellow shower curtain here, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hunter: @Gary: *sarcastically* No, really??? I didn't notice.
#ChaseForBookNine
Annika: No problem:
*types the words "A yellow shower curtain scamped over the hill, teeth snapping and snarling."*
Annika: Ah, the magic of Blogland.
Ari: *elbows Niccolò hard, in the ribs, then snaps back to Gary* *takes a few steps towards him, still tense, moving slowly and very smoothly* *grins madly*
#ChaseForBook9
Gary: *very carefully stares at the ground*
*and doesn't look at Aretha*
Hh . . . hhhh . . .hh . . .
Oscar: *gives him a hearty slap on the back*
Gary: Hi!
*looks horrified with himself*
Nic stop her. *decides to sit by Nic* Hey there Coco
Effie: [Bursts out laughing] [Is suddenly dressed like a pirate]
Precocious: *sighs*
*produces a cup of tea from nowhere*
*sips it*
Oscar: *quietly cleans his fingernails*
Gary: Eep.
Hunter: *freezes slightly* *unfreezes* *people may not even notice, anyway* *it was a quick freeze* *like a flash freeze, gone in a flash* *FLASH, and the freeze is gone*
*calmly raises hand and fires lasers at the yellow shower curtain, incinerating part of it* *grabs Ez with the other hand and teleports the heck out of there*
#ChaseForBookNine
Yellow Shower Curtain: GURKLE-GLURK!
*dies*
Ari: *stalks a few steps closer* *carefully reaches a finger out and pokes him*
Niccolò: I see no reason to do so just yet!!! <3 Hello, Zafira!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
Mara: *glances at Harry*
Harry: *glances back*
*they both grin and high-five each other*
Harry: Um, may I ask someone now? *puts his hand up in the air*
Mara: *laughs* Hatry, you're not in school..
((*Harry omg
Although Hatry would suit him
Fedora))
Precocious: *spills tea on Oscar's jacket*
Oh, sorry!
Oscar: Ugh! Ew! Be more careful!
*peels off his jacket*
Precocious: . . .
*spills tea on Oscar's shirt*
Oh. Sorry.
*smiles faintly*
Oscar: *gives her a stern look*
I see where you're going with this, and I don't like it.
. . .
Hunter: *reappears by a tree in the snow* Well, that went well. *collapses onto snow, closing eyes, feeling the fatigue hit* *opens them again and scans for yellow shower curtains*
Ez: *puts her hands on his forehead and transfers energy to him.
Hunter: *mutters* Left. *stands up* *leans against tree*
Ez: Do you want me to -
Hunter; *firmly* No.
Ez: Five minutes, then.
HUnter: *nods* *starts sprinkling salt in the snow around them, un case gremlins can leap gaps, like electricity*
(Star: Um, sorry.
I swear, they just go off sometimes. -_-
Hunter: Blame Niccolò.)
#ChaseFroBookNine
How are you? And I decided to learn self defense (rp not irl) i felt it was a good idea
Gary: Go right ahead, Harry.
Yes, I agree.
Gary: *sees Adra*
*looks away*
Welcome back, Adra!
Precocious: Yes, welcome back!
Five minutes later:
Hunter and Ez: *teleport back*
Ez: *sees remains of yellow shower curtain* *teleports to other side of room*
Hunter: *reaches for her to teleport them away* *teleports by himself when she's not there*
Ez: I'll do it for him. Mara, truth or dare? *walks over to yellow shower curtain and begins incinerating it*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Adra! Hi! *runs over and hugs her* *goes back to stalking Gary*
Niccolò: *sighs* I do hope they're alright!!! <3 Excellent idea, Zafira!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
Star: *waves to Adra*
#ChaseForBookNine
I have Ioux's casserole..
Mara: *hugs Adra* Hellooo!
*looks at Ez* Um... Dare!
Gary: *looks under a significant amount of duress*
Precocious: *look sympathetically at Gary*
Oscar: *reluctantly takes off his shirt*
*Blinks*
*Hugs*
Ez: @Mara: *expression goes blank as she thinks* *smiles suddenly* Start flirting with someone who isn't Harry.
Must go, sorry. *teleports off to find Hunter*
#ChaseForBookNine
I thought so too....Hey when you lived in 1500's what was the role of women?
Ari: *realizes what Doctor just did* *falls over, laughing madly, until she begins to laugh so hard she can't breathe properly and just silently laughs*
#ChaseForBook9
*Looks appalled at Gary*
Er
I apologize for rudely leaving.
Fabi: Hi Adra!
Effie: Hi Adra!
Liz: Hey, Adra.
Rook: Hello. [Nods]
Ioux: Hello, Ms. Dark. Oh, my. I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to imply that you actually had to make one. You didn't have to go to the trouble! [Pauses] [Looks hungry]
Oscar: Gary, give me your shirt.
Gary: No.
Oscar: Gary, I need a shirt.
Precocious: No you don't.
Oscar: Stoppit. I need a shirt.
Gary: But then I won't be symmetrical! Besides, I'm not going to take off my shirt in front of . . .
*looks at Adra, Effie, and Aretha*
Star: Oh, gosh. XD XD XD *hugs Annika*
Well, my characters have kind of gone off, now . . . *facepalm*
Don't worry. They'll be back.
#ChaseForBookNine
Effie: But I like Harralie! [Throws a pirate ship that doesn't really exist at Ez]
Mara: *her mouth opens slightly in shock* I... uhm, okay...
Harry: *shoots her a warning look*
It wasn't a trouble.
*Walks over*
*Thrusts the casserole into his hands with a fork*
*Walks away back to her seat, to watch them again*
Ez: *isn't here, sorry, Effie ;)*
Star: @Anni's characters: *laughing* XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: *slowly stops laughing* *stays on the ground, because the ground is nice, and anxiously watches Harralie*
#ChaseForBook9
Oscar: I hate you.
Precocious: *leans her head on his shoulder*
No you don't.
(Star: I am sorry, Mara. :/
Ez thought it was quite a good idea.
Ez: It IS quite a good idea. :))
#ChaseForBookNine
*sneaks up behind star and tackles her* HELLO EVERYONE
Ari: *nods to casserole* That is an impressive looking casserole, Adra. *applauds*
#ChaseForBook9
Ioux: Ms. Dark, I don't know how I can possibly express the magnitude of my gratitude.
Hello, Snow
Ari: Hi Snow! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
*Glances strangely at Ari*
*Looks at Ioux again* It was no trouble.
Star: *gets tackled* O_O Hey Snow! :)
Hunter and Ez: *quietly walk back in* *sit near the back*
Hunter: *looking at his hands* *counting repeatedly in his head*
#ChaseForBookNine
((*hugs Star* It's okay!
*pokes Ez* :P
It's still okay though:P
Harry just gets easily jealous and it's irritating -.-))
Mara: *cautiously makes her way over to Gary*
Um, hey there.
Precocious: Hullo, Snow!
Oscar: *looks embarrassed at his current situation*
Hullo, Snow.
Gary: *looks ready to have a panic attack*
((Star: :) *hugs Mara* :) You're awesome. :)
Well, I imagine he WOULD be jealous. :P
Ez: Yeah. That's why it's FUN. *rolls eyes at Star*))
#ChaseForBookNine
Gary: *looks ready to faint*
Hhhhh . . . hhh . . . hhhhhh . . .
Oscar: *thumps him on the back*
Gary: Hi!
*looks horrified with himself*
Ari: *facepalms* *laughs*
#ChaseForBook9
((Hello, Snow :)
Star - *hugs Star back* You're awesome :)
Yeah:P))
Mara: *looks Gary in the eyes* Do you have a library card? Because I'm checking you out.
Harry: *seethes*
PEOPLE I HAVENT MET/DONT SEE MUCH!!!
*looks at gary* *thinks* might I sugest trying the closet if you dont like being around too many people?
*Abruptly stands*
*Quietly walks back to her lab, shutting her door behind her yet, per usual, keeps it unlocked*
Ari: *gives Harry a "really?!" look* She married you, you know. You guys have a child. This is a dare. Not any sort of actual display of affection. Please keep that in mind- try to stay calm.
#ChaseForBook9
Gary: K-k-k-k-k-
*claps a hand over his mouth*
Kyaaaaa . . .
Oscar: *rolls his eyes*
Gary: *rocking back and forth*
*hand over mouth*
*speechless*
Ari: *follows Adra inside* Hey. Are you ok?
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* Hey Nic you know Jekyll has been itching to talk to you
What an interesting get-together... *sits diwn, stillon stars back*
*down, *still on
((@Mara: YOU'RE awesome. :)
And I'm a bubble, so my opinion is more correcterer than yours. *nods*))
Ez: *laughs*
Hunter: *glances up and smiles slightly*
Ez: You okay?
Hunter: *shrugs* I'll probably be okay. How was it . . . ?
Ez: Burnt.
Hunter: *nods*
Ez: And the surrounding ground*
Hunter: . . . We should be okay.
*spreads salt in a circle around them* *rubs gloves* We should.
#ChaseForBookNine
Niccolò: Interesting!!! <3 What might someone like him wish to talk about!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
Harry: *runs his hands through his hair* I don't like seeing her like that.
Mara: *gives Harry a glare*
*turn back to face Gary* *takes his hand away from his mouth and holds it in hers*
Harry: Oh for fuck's sake.
Mara: *rolls her eyes*
Star: *laughs* XD
((Damn, forgot MY reaction. *facepalm*))
#ChaseForBookNine
Gary: Eh . . . eh . . . eh . . .
Oscar: Gary, stop hyperventilating.
Precocious: *looking at Oscar*
Eh . . . eh . . . eh . . .
Oscar: Doctor, stop hyperventilating!
(Demons?
Salt circle?)
*A larger backpack in on the ground, an assortment of items out around it*
*Comes out of a side room, in a dark gray-green skirt and top*
*Glances at Aretha* I'm alright
*is finding all this rather amusing and wondering why oscar us shirtless.*
((Btw, I was ghosting for a bit so I know why))
Ari: Are you... Going somewhere fun, maybe?
#ChaseForBook9
(What the hell happened to Niccolò?))
((Hunter: Gremlins don't like salt.
But it doesn't, you know, kill them . . .))
Star: *laughing* XD
#ChaseForBookNine
((Niccolò: I beg your pardon!!! <3))
#ChaseForBook9
I'm starting to fade a bit.... Still here, though.
*looks down at star* would you like me to get off you?
*A ghost of a smile flickers across her face, then disappears* No. You should know me well enough to know that
Ari: Ok, Fabi. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Ari: *sighs* Yeah, I figured. What's all this really for, then?
#ChaseForBook9
(The hearts. And triple exclamation points. What gives?)
Oscar: Gary, give me your shirt.
Gary: Eh . . . eh . . . eh . . .
Oscar: I need a shirt!
*cries out to the cold, merciless skies*
I need a shirt!
Star: . . . Yeah, please. :)
((Star: ADRAAAA I was meaning to say to you that your roleplaying is excellent. *nods*
I was thinking about it earlier and I thought I should say.))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: @Adra: Niccolò got dared to do it. XD It's rather amusing.))
*@Snow
#ChaseForBookNine
*Hugs Fabi*
-
It's a slight emergency back home, and they've called me back. *Fastens on her deep purple cloak with a high collar, a thin gold chain holding it across her collar bones*
Jekyll; May I talk to you about what you have learned about the true name? I mean no harm, I wish to understand my own, as it is so unique. (Sorry was getting coffwe
(Did we lose Maralie?)
((GMAIL IS GIVING ME THREE DIFFERENT ADVERTS FOR HOLIDAYS IN TENERIFE.
WHAT.
USING, THESE ADVERTS ARE /RELEVANT./))
#ChaseForBookNine
Thank you, Star. I appreciate it.
And- poor Niccolò, then.
*gets off star*
*looks at oscar* a shirt? Ithink I can get you one... be right back *teleports away*
((*Star:
Star: That's fine, Zaf. :)
Star: @Annika: *shrugs* Idk? She's probably just distonated a tad. :)))
((Niccolò: It was a dare!!! <3))
Niccolò: *sighs* *vanishes* *returns with a clean, white shirt that ought to fit Oscar perfectly* *hands it to Oscar* If this is not sufficiently clean, I can have it dry cleaned momentarily!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
(Should I have Gary take the next turn, or should we wait for Maralie?)
((Star: Those love hearts and exclamation points. XD *dies*))
((Star: *hugs Adra*))
#ChaseForBookNine
Oscar: *clutches the shirt like a lifeline*
Thank you!
Precocious: Awwww.
Oscar: You be quiet.
*buttons up the shirt*
Niccolo: *looks at where Snow just vanished* Oh!!! <3 Well, I suppose it does you no harm to have two shirts!!! <3
Ari: Oh, ok. Do you need any help? Or, rather, want any help?
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: Um. *flails* Give it another few minutes, then take it?))
#ChaseForBookine
*reappears* sorry. Couldn't find one *looks at nic* but it looks like you got one
Oscar: Thank you for so enthusiastically giving me a shirt.
Precocious: *sigh*
Oscar: I could almost hear the little hearts in your voice.
Precocious: *grumbles* Fetched with love, from Niccolo Croatoan.
Niccolò: Certainly!!! <3 What would you like to know!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
XD
why didn't we do this sooner?
Star: *dying*
Hunter: *mutters* Bubbles can't die, they aren't alive.
Star: Shut up.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry, wifi went! D:
*Pauses, breifly considering the idea*
*Shakes her head*
No, I don't think we could get you in, as much help as you would be. You don't look like an alchemist. *Picks up a second gold chain with a small blue crystal in the center, laying it over her forehead and fastening. It on either side of her head*
Besides, I'm going to be there for a few months.
Niccolò: *sighs* You certainly seemed desperate enough for one!!! <3 I could hardly justify ignoring your plea!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
Oscar: Oh, don't be like that. At least this shirt is a size too small.
*puts an arm around her shoulders*
You're being juvenile.
Precocious: Your face is being juvenile.
Oscar: Whoa now, you can't say that. That's MY bit!
Precocious: *laughs*
*hugs him*
Wear tighter shirts in future, alright?
Oscar: *reluctantly* Fine.
((Star: @Mara: That's fine! :) *hugs*
Wifi can be stupid.
Hunter: Ah, you poor people from 2013.
Ez: 2014.
Hunter; I was almost correct. Shut up.))
#ChaseForBookNIne
Mara: *whispers to Gary* I'm going to stop, uhm, flirting I guess, because if I don't Harry will probably explode. *leans in* *kisses his cheek* *teleports beside Harry*
Harry: *pulls her to him sharply*
(Ah, I know the feeling, Maralie. Worry not.)
Hmm...
*Is feeling really bad for Niccolò now*
*Is also watching the other's RPs with vigor*
*Apparently isn't going to fighting tonight*
*Which isn't a problem*
*Because it's a down swing day for both of us*
*Hugs her brother*
Jekyll: I understand what it is, but I was curious about my own. As you know I am two people in the one body. My question is, if you knew say my name or I did, would it work on Hyde?
Ari: Oh, ok. We'll miss you. Call us if you need any help. I daresay that between our lovely group of people, we could break down any wall that doesn't let us in. *smiles*
#ChaseForBook9
Gary: *touches his cheek*
*just about falls over with the unsymmetrical nature of a kiss on one cheek*
*but somehow doesn't mind*
Eh . . . eh . . . eh . . .
[sends hugs to everyone]
*thinks* oh, yes *looks at oscar* sorry about ladt time we met. We didn't seem to grt off to a good start. Though in my defense that was because I had just come back from being metaphysically desd.
(*accepts the hug with gracious dignity*)
*Osmosis, Harralie and Ezter is killing me*
-
*Doesn't smile back, and looks at Aretha in the reflection of her mirror* You won't even notice I'm gone- what's months for me is hours for you.
Oscar: Consider it forgiven, Snow. I am a super villain, after all. It is my job to behave badly towards people.
Precocious: Except me.
Oscar: Except her.
((Well then, lets hope that I can kill you with some slea too. Hope.))
Ari: *hugs back*
Niccolò: As I understand it, by breaking yourself into two separate people, you have also split your name apart to some degree!!! <3 However, since you were originally the same person, I am inclined to believe that you both have the same name, decided or otherwise, yet I cannot say so with certainty!!! <3
#ChaseForBook9
(Snow, I know your typos aren't your fault, but I love how your hand slipped on "get", but not "metaphysically"
:)
((XD the curse of the mini tablet. ))
*nods at oscar andgoes back to staring at the wall*
Oscar: It is your turn, Maralie.
Gary: Mah . . . mah . . mahra . . .
Precocious: *runs a hand through Oscar's hair*
Oscar: You washed your hands?
Precocious: Of course.
Oscar: Proceed.
Precocious: *runs a hand through Oscar's hair*
Star: This is TOO FUN. :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((*hugs Fabi*))
Mara: *smiles at Gary* *thinks about how sweet he is*
Harry: Stop.
Mara: Ugh, Harry. I'm married to you. Do you really think I'd cheat? Really? *mutters*
Niccolò: *devided
Ari: Oh, I see. Then make sure you stay safe. I am not going to tell Trip that you died alone in some strange place.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara: Oh! Right. Well. Niccolò! Truth or dare?
(( I am seriously trying to work out how to bring lea in XD))
Jekyll: thank you. May I inquire, as to what would happen if you stole mine?
Gary: *leans closer to Oscar*
*whispers* I can't do this.
Oscar: It's okay. You're doing fine.
Gary: There are too many pretty girls here.
Oscar: No such thing as too many pretty girls.
Gary: I can't talk to pretty girls, Oz.
Oscar: I thought you were doing well. You almost got a whole word out, just now.
Gary: Get me out of here.
Oscar: No, sorry, can't.
Gary: Please?
Oscar: Consider this practice.
Gary: *whimpers*
That's good. If I were to die, I'm certain that he would respond in same. *Pushes from the mirror and begins to pack the rest of her things*
Go on, get back to everyone else. And, I would prefer if you didn't tell them about this. I don't fancy putting more stress or worries on their plates.
*Pauses*
Not that I would expect them to
Niccolò: *sighs with relief* If I'm to be asked again now, I'll no longer end my sentences with that ridiculous punctuation. Truth, please.
#ChaseForBook9
Star: I feel kind of sorry for Gary. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: ...You know, we do care about you, Adra. Not just me. You know that, right?
Niccolò: If I were to steal your name, I would take both pieces of it. I doubt that I could purposely steal a part of anyone's name if I tried.
#ChaseForBook9
(You guys can still pick any of my chars just if you pick Olivia don't be rough she's technically 5)
Mara: *frowns* Hmm. If you had to kiss either Adra or Zaf, who would you choose and why? *grins*
Yes, so I have been told.
@star yeah, but it is rather funny reading/watching the stuttering
Jekyll: Thank you. Hyde possesses magic as well, which makes sense. I am a mage therefore he is as well! Thank you Mr. Croatoan! You have been very much helpful! *offers hand*
Who, Fabi?
((*hugs fabi to death*))
(I'm sorry, Fabi.)
Star: @Snow: You are a cruel person. :P
((Hey Lantern. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
Precocious: *stands in front of Gary*
Okay, let's try this: Say hullo.
Gary: Hullo.
Oscar: !
Precocious: But I thought you couldn't talk to pretty girls!
Gary: That's true.
I can't talk to pretty girls.
Precocious: *gasps*
*whacks him with her top hat*
Oscar and Gary: *laugh*
Why thank you star. But only sometimes. :)
*laughs* oh dear god, did that just happen...? *looks at precocious and co.*
((Lantern?))
#ChaseForBookNine
Star: @Snow: Apparently, yes. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Gary: *laughing*
I'm so sorry, that was mean . . .
Precocious: *hits him again*
Gary: Ow!
Oscar: *tugs the hat from her hand*
*sets it back on her head*
Whoa now, treat him gently. He's the best man, after all.
Precocious: *crankily* Oh, he's the best man now, is he?
Oscar: Yes.
Also . . .
*grimaces*
He's going to pick the color of the tablecloths.
Gary: Chartreuse!
Precocious: *facepalms*
I loathe chartreuse.
Well okay then
(Where did Niccolo go?
*looks mournfully off into the distance*)
((I'm sorry.))
(For what!?)
(*pinches fabi's veil*)
\(^.^)/
((Star: *hugs Lantern* You have nothing to be sorry for. :) You're awesome.))
((Star: @Annika: *shrugs helplessly*))
Star: Chartreuse. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
((Niccolò: My apologies for briefly vanishing. Although I'll admit I'm not overly enthusiastic to have returned.))
Niccolò: *sighs* I suppose I ought to have expected such a question from you.
Ari: Well, we do. I think that's something people should hear more often. They forget. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
*Doesn't hug her back*
Thank you.
Now, you really should go. They might come at any minute, and I don't think they'll hesitate to kill you
((*hugs Fabibibibibubbles* You shouldn't be sorry for anything. I love you.))
Mara: *smiles brightly at Niccolò*
And I continue to excel at the art of getting last
Come on Nic answer! I know it'll be Adra :P
Whòoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
okay den. I dedicate to.... all you amazing people. :)
Ari: *reluctantly* If you want me to go, I guess I'll just do that, then... Promise me you'll come back in one piece?
Niccolò: Under what circumstances would I be making this decision?
#ChaseForBook9
Precocious: I'm tired. No one has challenged me yet.
*rests her head on Oscar's shoulder*
I'm dreadfully bored.
Oscar: I'm sorry, I don't know how to fix that.
Precocious: Can you kiss me?
Oscar: Yes.
Yes, I can do that.
*kisses her passionately*
*they part*
Oscar: Was that boring?
Precocious: No.
@Adra: You do. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*Raises her glass*
-
*Avoids looking at Aretha* Alright

Oscar: Don't try to screw me over, not now.

((I don't know if I'm here anymore...))
((waves))
((I imagine if I say I'm staying, I'll poof, and if I say bye, I'll end up popping back in the conversation, so idk. I guess, just assume my characters and I are here unless we're not. Which you wouldn't know. Okay, that was helpful. Right, sorry.))
Ari: Hey, Fabi. *hugs*

Gary: *makes gagging motions behind Oscar's back*
Oscar and Precocious: *very much focused on each other right now*
Olivia: Hey! *giggles* I have a present. Alexis helped me make a dagger.
*It dawns on her that it might be the first time she's referred to her as so*
*Zips up her bag*
*There's a blinding flash of light, and a dark blue symbol begins to appear on her wall, as if someone carving it there, the soft blue color accenting the room, filling It up*
*Her inter-dimensional, of a sort, portal forms, and fills up, the barrier looking like water*
*Looks through at the familiar landscape*
*Steps through*
*The portal shatters behind her, and the light falls against the floor, like spilled beads, then the light fades*
((I never left, I just distantified and decided to stop saying things that would lower the mood. But yeah, hi.))
Alright, Fabis
*laughs slightly at gary* *calls to him* I agree!
((Star: Okay, Lantern. :)
