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.

#ChaseForBookNine
Out in the peaks of Washington,
Existed a thoughtful girl,
Who went by the name of Fabi,
Who was as lovely as a pearl.
Although she is reserved,
Her absence is always heard,
Because, to be quite frank,
You can't not love Fabi the Snake
(imperfect rhymes are terrible omg.)

print('I hate how there's so much I want to say, and then all the words get stuck, and I'm just staring at the page and sort of grabbing at it, and I really want to tell you how awesome you are, but after what's already been said, it wouldn't sound as real or as sincere. At the same time, I want to cry and apologize, and then comment about the weird dots that appeared on my foot sometime yesterday. I don't even know.')

Pop stars Little Mix are on track to race up the charts again this year with a recording of Word Up as this year’s official Sport Relief single.
The group posed in running gear to announce they were joining the fundraising efforts with their version of the Cameo hit.
The four girls, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson, took to their band’s official Twitter account to announce the news, saying: ‘We are really excited to announce this year’s official @SportRelief Single is called 'Word Up' sung by….. US!! xxLittle Mix xxx #SR14’
Charity single: Little Mix have revealed they will be releasing this year's official single for Sport Relief; the girls have recorded a version of Cameo's track Word Up
Their recording of the 1986 single - which has also been a hit for Gun and Spice Girl Mel B - will be released as a download on March 16 with a CD released the following day, and available from the charity supporter Sainsbury's.

Back in the game! Liam Payne takes girlfriend Sophia Smith to the basketball for couples time after 'stupid' ledge photo
Little Mix star Perrie Edwards said: ‘We've all seen people push themselves and do incredible things for Sport Relief so it's a dream come true to be releasing the official single this year.’
Pictured in their running gear, the girls showed off the jovial, fun-loving side their fans have grown to love since becoming the first girl band to win X Factor in 2011.
And in just over two years the girls, who were put together at the boot camp stage of the show after auditioning as solo artists, have come a long way.
The announcement: The band took to their Twitter account to tell excited fans about their big charity single news
Sexy ladies: The girls are trying out a new, adult look including sexing up their Sport Relief running outfits
Last year saw the girls release their second album, Salute, and announce their third solo tour; they were also nominated in several categories at the World Music Awards and won Best Group at the Kids Choice Awards.
The band also revealed on their Twitter account they were flying to an undisclosed destination on a ‘special trip’.
The Little Mix official account tweeted: ‘About to board a plane and go on a very special trip... Looking forward to telling you more about it later Mixers. We <3 you. Little Mix xxx’
Secret mission: The girls posted a picture of themselves in Liberia on Friday morning where they're visiting places that Sport Relief has helped with charity donations
And Jade added: ‘Just waitin for plane to take off, watching all the tour reporter entries. They're so good keep em comin!!’
The girls then posted a picture of themselves to Little Mix's Instagram account, saying: 'First day in LIberia with @SportRelief We're looking forward to seeing Sport Relief cash in action & seeing this beautiful country x'
The band are in the West African country visiting villages where Sport Relief donations have helped save people's lives.
Sport Relief takes place from March 21 to 23 with members of the public invited to raise money by running, swimming or cycling in the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games, with further details at sportrelief.com.
I just fucking love Little Mix.
*Tackles Fabi* *Cuddles her* You're mine now
Greetings, Ms. Charm.
@Lantern: *hugs* :/
And it's okay if it doesn't sound as real or sincere. When you give return-compliments, they never sound as good, and stuffs. :/ But, like ARCK says, compliments make everyone smile. Always. :)
You can do whatever you want, and if it sounds odd, or if it isn't balanced correctly, like you're rockclimbing and your leg is a bit unsteady and you know you can't lift your hand off until you've shifted it over and got into a better position, but if there IS no good position - I guess it's fine. :) Because all positions are positions, and maybe the wrong one is correct all along, and you never knew it. But I'm sort of just abandoning all my first and second and third points here and yeahhhh . . . :P
*hugs*

@Mara: THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Mycroftbunny and Stormbunny need to finish their ski trip sometime...
Hello, Mara! *Hugs*
Oh'
There once was a lady named Meera/Moira/Moooooo
In county Tipperary
Who stayed up late at night
And who I would totally marry.
Although she thinks she is not,
She doesn't know how important she is
Not just to me, but to all,
If you were gone, we'd surely miss.
Like
A lot.
Like, more than the United State's debt ceiling.
More than there are people living
More than air
*nods*
@Snow: They do. :) :)
Your bunny roleplays with Ember are ADORABLE. :) Shame I'm never there. :/
#ChaseFOrbookNine
@Adra: That was simulataneous fun and beautiful. :) :)
*hugs*
These poems are generally the best. :)
And I love how it's making me smile, but I'm smiling for multiple reasons, so it's like smiles layered on top of each other. :)
(All of these smiles being invisible, of course.)

Aretha had asked to be brought somewhere wet and discreet. She was not expecting a small, tropical island in the middle of nowhere. She was hoping for someplace with a hose. But she didn't have enough time to be picky, so she hadn't complained. She was no doctor, but she knew she was quickly developing a fever, and a few strange rashes had already appeared in various places on her skin. Having to carry both Niccolòs everywhere wasn't helping.
The first order of business was figuring out which of them to help first. She fully intended to save them both, of course, but if she brought War back first he would just kill the rest anyway. And they looked exactly alike. She narrowed her eyes, thinking. There was no way she could hope to see inside their heads, so it would have to be heartbeats. She remembered him telling her that every person's heartbeat is different- like a fingerprint- and she'd made note of how his changed when different names took over, even when his appearance stayed the same, but she wished she'd paid more attention to his.
She knelt beside the Niccolò closest to her and carefully placed two fingers on his neck, feeling for his pulse. Her eyes closed and she listened intently, imagining that it felt familiar, but she might have been fooling herself. She couldn't tell. And then suddenly she felt herself running to the nearest bush to vomit. She groaned, and coughed a bit, feeling properly awful, and decided she would never complain about stomach bugs again. At least they weren't any kind of plague or epidemic, and she didn't lose blood over those. Her head was pounding. She sank to her knees, closing her eyes against the black spots that flooded her vision, and tried to push through the sudden exhaustion that overtook her.
She took deep breaths and cleared her mind. In and out... In and out... She coughed, but ignored the pain in her lungs, and just kept breathing until she felt less like she'd pass out and more like she was about to fall asleep. Then she opened her eyes and felt for her own pulse, hoping that that might jog her memory a bit. It didn't. Slowly, she stood, and set herself down again next to the second Niccolò. She carefully counted the beats in her head, concentrating hard just to stop herself from falling asleep, and realized with a start that his pulse sounded like... Her second hand raced to her neck to confirm it, because it was crazy, and then she was sure- his heartbeat matched hers exactly. She was too tired to be any more than a little shocked, but she didn't think she'd get any surer sign that this was her Niccolò. More black spots invaded her line of sight and she blinked furiously against them, pulling him as quickly as she could towards the water. She dragged him as far under as she could without drowning him, and rubbed the paint on his face off with the inside of her jacket. For a few moments she stood there in the water, waiting, but then she felt a sharp pain in her lungs again. She saw blood flashing red in the water, and her world went black before she could feel herself slip under.

*Bites Star's hair*
((Ari: Mara! *hugs* So happy for you and Little Mix!
Also, Luci- I don't know whether or not you'll read this, and I've never really gotten to know- I've seen you here a time or two, and read some of your fabulous writing, but I never really properly got to know you. So I'm not going to tell you about yourself, or about what you've done for me. But I can tell you that it feels like I know you, because I've heard your name so many times even when you're not here, and so many people love you so much, you must have done something amazing. Seriously- people here quote you, and talk about how generous you are, and how selfless, and how you make everyone feel so amazing. You should know that they think that- that they say that when you're not there. I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't love you, or doesn't want you around.))
#ChaseForBook9
ARETHA TESLA YOU DIE I KIL YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE
And also, did you wanna do the thjng with John tonight into tomorrow?
((Ari: Yay! Thank you Star, and Snow, and Adra! Wooo, feels! I would have kept writing, but I thought that place was a nice spot to end it. And I'm not really sure if I want to write more right now or not... If I don't, though, I'll warn you guys that I might not be back here till Monday- I have a big ballroom competition that I'm driving to right now, and that'll occupy most all of my time.))

Sorry, distant. *hugs all*
NOOOO
YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT
((Ari: I'll probably be at the competition in about an hour, Zaf- sorry... The soonest I can promise I'll be here is monday. I have my first dance in three hours, and then the next day I'll be dancing from 10 am to 2:30 am the next morning, and then I'll wake up at 7 or 8 that same morning for boot camp, and then I'll probably sleep all day. That's what I did last year. But I'll gladly do that with you afterwards.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I have to get ready for dance now. I'll be back in about three hours.))
((Thank you so much for making me cry my eyes out.))

I think so, too. :) I'm happy for her.

ADRASDOS DARK YOU DONT DO SEXY TIME UNSAFELY UNTIL MARRIAGE
I love this place so much. You guys are all the most amazing and perfect and fantastic people I have ever had the pleasure to meet and talk to and I honestly dont know where I'd be if I hadn't found this place.
No matter what, you always manage to make me and other smile and im pretty sure that if all the role plays from here were compiled into a book, it'd be a best seller within a day.
You have managed to stop people thinking about suicide, and for that the world owes you a favor.
I can't express how much I love this place in just simple words typed out, but I'm still gonna try...
Adra: you're always here. Always. And you always know the right thing to say. I admire you for that
Star: you're a bubble. A freaking bubble. And it suits you so well. You pretty much light up blogland whenever you're around.
Mara: even though I hate 1D, your fangirling is so fun to watch. I love the way you just come on burting with happiness. You're perfect.
Fabi: I swearyou and adra formed blogland. I know it wouldn't be the same without you. And you always find that perfect thing to say.
Zaf: what can I say? You're too different to put into words. *hugs* never change.
Ari: I love how you always make up these great rp plots and pull all of blogland into them. I know that someday everyone will know your name.
Saph: you're so amazing. I mean... I cant even put it in words. I love how you always make me smile. I... *hugs*
Sir: you and your author are amazing. A gentleman shark? How could that not be perfect.
Trip: you're the honest to goodness life of the party when you're around. Your fun and funny and... the vacuum cleaner apocalypse...
Ember: I love your Mycroft fangirling. I'd never really paid much attention to Mycroft until I met you. Now I think he's one of my favorite sherlock characters. Bloob bloob.
Duck: I dknt even know. I dont. You're some much insane rolled into one thing that I don't know what to say.
Anni: ... *hugs* I'm at a loss for words. You... you blow my mind.
Everyone else that there is no room for: YOU ARE PERFECT, OKAY?! Never change. Ever
*hugs all* I love this place...
((Mistress
well ok then))
*slaps adra across the face with the hoover*
see, i'm staying away from your baby bump!

Bye Snow! *hugs*
Good bye, Ms. Stormberg.
NO SEXY TIME IS ALLOWED TIL ENAGMENT
((Ari: I REALLY WANT TO WRITE. DARN IT.
Niccolò: You are more than welcome to, if you so desire.
Ari: Well, yeah, but I haven't actually written a cliffanger in so long. And this one has feels. And it also has some comedy, which is awesome, because I don't usually have that element. And it's a good cliffanger! And I'll be gone till Monday anyway, so if I keep writing until I finish this bit of story, then it'll just be boring.
Niccolò: You are perfectly capable of simply writing something else, if you wish to.
Ari: Yeah, but that would take attention away from this. See, this is a nice ending, because now during all the time I'm gone, when they think of me, they'll think of that. It'll linger in their minds. They can stew over it. It'll build up. If I write something else, they can take their minds off it more easily. Or... I could write a worse cliffanger. But that would be dangerous. Nah, I think I'll leave it. But I don't want to!!!
Niccolò: *sigh*))

Changing My Direction tho what a fanfic
I think the author deleted it but it's still saved in my library c;
Like Louis isn't gay and then he pretends he is and then he starts to like Harry and then Harry is actually bi but then they start like going out but the media doesn't know that it was a joke before and then Louis walks in on Harry kissing a girl and then Liam kisses Louis and then Niall sees and tells Harry and Harry gets hurt bc it was only a publicity stunt and then Harry kisses Liam and Liam pushes him away and then Louis sees and then like gets into a fight with Harry and then Harry's ex Christina comes over and is all like "oh it's you" and harry's like fuck off (more like fuck punctuation i mean um) and then she says that he got her pregnant and killed her child by pushing her down the stairs and louis finds out that's why harry's always been nervous about falling in love and then they kind of get back together and have sexy times which was slightly awkward and then Christina is convicted of killing her child and blaming harry for it and she goes to jail and then louis tells the media it was a joke all along and management forces them to stay apart and they get so depressed and it's so sad and then they're in an interview and suddenly jump up and hold hands and kiss and aw and what a fanfic omg
*awkward silence*
Hello?

Bye, everyone!
You two could make out. That would be interesting.
Or act like you're not dead.
Or just not BE dead.
Bye Fay!
*A whistled tune comes from the crypt behind Chase's house. The shadows were lurking again. Deacon lights up a cigarette as his leans against the door of the crypt.
A young mage walks up to him and hands him a bag, she pulls down her hood and bows slightly at him*
Deacon: Did you get everything?
Mage: Yes sir, everything that you instructed to get from Baron Samedi's sanctuary has been retrieved.
Deacon: *smiles* Good job.
*He leans in and kisses the mage passionately before pushing her away*
Deacon: Now get outta here before I get peckish for a feed tonight.
*The young mage pulls back up her hood and hurries quickly away through the forest. Deacon finishes his cigarette before he enters the crypt and shuts the door*
Good bye, Ms. Phoenix.
(Niccolò i got an idea
((Ari: ...Well, we might not be dead... But we also might both be dead, because if I passed out and just dropped him in the water, I would have drowned, and he would have drowned, because I wouldn't be holding him up, and then War would have died of illness. And we'd all just be dead on that island, and our bodies might wash away, too, so eventually the people who left me there might come back because they noticed I hadn't returned, and they'd just see the dead body of a strange man covered in rainbow paint. And everyone would just wonder what happened.
Niccolò: That is a rather dismal scenario, is it not?
Ari: *shrugs* Dismal is sort of our thing, if you hadn't noticed.
Niccolò: Perhaps we ought to try something else.
Ari: Hm... *considers* Hmmmm...... *considers* Hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm..............
You know what? I'm going to write more.))

My music tastes are weird, man

*Deacon takes the lid off the stone coffin again and sighs dramatically looking at the peaceful Emerald.*
Deacon: With you being dead my dear, I'm afraid that your mind is much more vulnerable than before. But I can't do anything without a pulse so you're gonna have to wake up for me.
*He places candles around the crypt and lights them. He burns some incense and lays lilies on top of Emerald. He begins to chant and lets his shadows become intertwined with the flowers. His shadows begin to hiss as the flowers melt. The chanting intensifies. Deacon is trying to keep himself grounded and channels some neutral energy into the ground.
Suddenly Emerald gasps and sits up. She's alone. Sitting in a dark crypt. The stone under her feels so cold. She starts to cry, feeling so scared suddenly.*
*Continues in a quick conversation with Hydra, until she angrily throws her phone across the room*
Damn. I'm going to murder her for spilling like this..
*Switches the channel to some weird British show*
MID-NIGHT MEM-OR-IES

Although they are on the way, hELL NO DID YOU HEAR BSE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT CAME FROM UP ALL NIGHT LIKE DAAAAAAMN POP POP POP BUBBLEGUM POPPPP
(Oh nothing.....*kisses Nic's cheek* to get a reaction of shock
((Ari: The music I like consists mainly of-
Evanescence, sometimes classified as rock/alternative
Simon and Garfunkel, which is something mellow, I don't know genres that well
Broken Irirs- I don't know what they are either, maybe alternative
Adagio- progressive symphonic metal
System of a Down- metal
No specific artists, but I love anything classical
No specific artists (except maybe IU), but I love most Kpop))

*Doesn't know the strange words that Mara uses*
-
*Tries to watch the show the best she can, not really paying attention, not really thinking either*
*Sighs, closing her eyes for a minute, leaning back in her pillows*
((Ari: Em!))
#ChaseForBook9
(Omg Kpop.
*80's rock*
*A few newer pop things, but only a few songs, here and there. I like Bastille's "Pompeii", though! Er... Gregorian chant, soundtracks to movies and television shows (like FMA and Doctor Who and Sherlock), and... hm. I like old music. Like, VERY OLD, 20s recordings. Musical music, as well. Dig.)
BSE - Best Song Ever
Up All Night - 1D's debut album awh fetus
Bubblegum Pop - Basically all of One Direction's Up All Night album :P
((Ari: Oh, of course! Also,
Emilie Autumn- victoriandustrial
Various showtunes, especially Phantom of the Opera
Marina and the Diamonds- pop
A lot of different country music (a lot of the songs I know are Luke Bryan, or old classics)))
#ChaseForBook9
*Em slowly and unsteadily gets out of the coffin. Her neck is so sore as is her chest. She goes to open the door but it's closed shut. The huge stone door will not move at all.
She starts to panic and begins furiously banging on the door. She starts to yell in frustration. She can't seem to find her voice, just make some slight noises.
She tries to scream. Nothing. She tries to call for help. Nothing. All she can do is bang on the thick stone and even then she was certain that it wasn't even making a sound.*
(*tries to like country but has listened to it for too long*
*IS more of a Gaga than a Perry*
-
Emerald.
Em.
Baby,
(FUCKING DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!)
*I dedicate to all you sexy bitches and bastards. Don't ever change because you are all so beautiful and always will be.
Love you all x*
(Ah I like Nic he's funny I can't wait for Monday with John
*Hugs*
*Raises glass*

*whispers* and rock
"I whispered something that i really i just can't repeat"

*raises glass*
*hugs*
*Wakes up a time later, with a yawn*
*Pulls her tank top up, from where it had fallen lopsided*
*Sighs*
*A new show was on- she didn't recognize it, however. She didn't recognize a lot of things, actually*
*Hugs her pillow, slowly sitting up, and curling to herself*
(Omg Adra Christopher can have play dates with your baby!!!! Omg!!!! And I decided the Zavel wedding is gonna be the 25th but it'll be around later my time after my party
*Actually loves SOML so much*
*Oh my gosh Zaf*
*Adra's television suddenly crackles and goes dead black before the white noise is present on the screen for a few seconds.
Then the picture becomes clearer though it is clearly showing somewhere dark. Then it shows the empty coffin inside the crypt and a confused and weak Emerald sitting against the door, crying.
Deacon's voice echoes through the television just for one sentence*
Deacon: Looks like someone woke up...
"let's play a game of how many songs we can release about fucking a girl without actually saying the word fuck" by one direction
this explains 95.3% that one direction is made of tbh lmao
(Omg yes! And eh I thinkth I'm stuck soloing again. Blergh
*hugs Adra*
*actually loves all 1d songs so much*
*even the ones she doesn't like*
*bc she won't allow herself to not like one*
*she is one hardcore fan i can tell you that*
*Her eyes widen* Son of a bitch!
*Stumbles, looking closely at the picture on the screen*
You..
What did you do?
Aye, Mara. Credit for that.
I'm sorry, Zaf.
If you want, you could listen to this amazing song-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOgpdp3lP8M
and no, it isn't 1D :P
Actually, Mara probably has the URL for the 1D videos memorized.
Its okay...Jeopardy is on soon and I'll just put an iTunes gift card on and rent Repo tonight
*Deacon chuckles slightly*
Deacon: I brought her back, woke her up, gave her another lease of life. Now that's not to say that she came back 100% all there but life is not perfect I guess.
Rejoice!!! Now the freaky little werewolf won't have to feel guilty anymore for killing mommy.
*He laughs as the picture become blurry and disappears into white noise again*
AND WE DANCED ALL NIGHT
TO THE BEST SONG EVER
WE KNEW EVERY LINE
NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER
HOW IT GOES
BUT I KNOW
THAT I WON'T FORGET HER
CAUSE WE DANCED ALL NIGHT
TO THE BEST SONG EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Aretha?" Niccolò called out, his voice wavering slightly. He knew she must have brought him here- he knew it- but he couldn't see her. And if she was in the water... His senses were coming back, but slowly. He needed them now. On command, his vision sharpened, and he could make out some of what looked like rainbow hair poking out of the waves in the distance. He teleported himself just next to her- swimming would have taken valuable time- and teleported them both back to the shore again.
She was hot, and barely breathing, and ill in a thousand different ways, and he didn't know whether he should heal the diseases or clear her lungs of water first. He wasn't even sure he could clear her lungs of water. But he could make her cough, and he could make her breathe, so that was what he did. He almost wished he had stolen her name, so he could force her heart to beat. But he'd brought her back before. He could do it again.
He closed his eyes, his mind slipping into hers, and softly called out to her again. She didn't respond, but he could see her, slowly sinking into the black abyss that had grown all too familiar. He followed her down as far as he could and reached for her, praying that he wouldn't be too late.

*Glares at the television, then begins to pace, her head a thousand miles*
*Stops*
*Begins to get dressed*
Bae
Croatoan....
*Emerald tried to wipe the tears away but they just kept coming. She looked around the damp crypt. She couldn't remember anything. Why was she in here? Did someone put her in here?
Where was here?! She was uncertain if she even remembered who she was. Everything seemed so blank and foreign to her.*
*Gets her jacket on, buttoning it up*
*Slips out the door that goes to her veranda*
*Leaps over the side, and lands in a tree branch*
*Descends*
*Goes as quickly as she can*
*Knocks on the crypt door, breaking heavily*
*Emerald shuffles away from the door. The panic setting in again. What if that was the person who put her in here?
She makes a sort of panicked yelp as she hides behind the coffin away from the door*
*Calls* Em!
Em, it's Adra! Open up! I'm here for you!
*Emerald sits up. Who the hell was Adra? And the door was locked or stuck so how could she open it up.
She cautiously walked over to the door and tried to push and pull but the stone just grinded off one another as to confirm that the door was not gonna open.
Emerald didn't even have a voice to tell this Adra person that she can't get out.*
*Frowns, touching the stone*
Okay, Em! Stand back- I'm going to have to break the thing down.
*Emerald stood back behind the coffin again. She knocked on the stone wall hoping that Adra would realise that it meant she was away from the door.*
*Nods, then touches the walls, and they shudder, the wall comes crumbling down*
*Look up*
Em..
*Emerald tries to comfort herself and calm down as her breathing was becoming laboured, like a panic attack.
She quickly pointed to Adra and shrugged, indicating that she had no idea who she was.*
*Frowns*
I'm sorry, what?
*Growls*
*Emerald slowly sits herself down. She can feel her lungs constricting on her. It was definitely a panic attack.*
Well now i must wait for Repo to download on my iPod
I am nearly finished with my Ari and Niccolo hipster drawing this is hilarious. :P
-
*Darts forwards to her friend, putting a hand on her shoulder* Em, listen to me. You're safe now. I'm here with you, okay? I'll keep you safe from him.
(Sorry guys I'm heading to bed now. Continue as you see fit there if you want, if not we can just keep going tomorrow. Either way, I don't mind.
Night guys xx)
Oh. Alright, Em. *nod*
-
*Catches Em because she obviously fainted*
Right.
*Tries to carry her to the lab*
Hello everyone!
Hello, Rueben! How are you?
I'm good, how are you adra
Hai
Hello Zaf!
I'm alright. It's pretty quiet, and I'm a bit sad :P I was so excited for this night all day and no one's really here besides the three of us :D
I'm going to watch Sherlock season 3 episode 2 right now, I only really came on here to say hello to everyone
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh! Good luck, then! Enjoy yourself! *hugs*
I'm hereish
AH! Splendid. I'm not totally alone here...
-
*Gets Emerald situated in a room, and presses the palms of her hands against her eyes, taking a few deep, slow breaths, then calms herself*
*Romps back outside, and goes back to the bar*
*Raps on the door*
*Nothing*
*Growls, and goes back down the steps and tries to think*
I'm waiting for my movie to download
Ah, I see. The best of luck, then.
And- I don't think even Sir's here.
How strange...
-
*Rubs the sides of her forehead*
Damn, I can't think.
*Makes herself sit*
Hello.
I know Ari'll be gone all weekend so its poibtless to wish or hope and so i have no idea what ill do
Hello, Snow! Welcome back-
*Sighs, feeling twitchy, like her energy is trapped up inside of her*
*She doesn't like it*
*Closes her eyes, moves it around slowly, making certain that none of the energy gets stuck around the kid*
*is distant*
Aye, I think everyone is...
Bummer. I probably should have gone to the movies with my family instead of staying here.
*Curses the sky*
Now, Ms. Dark. What did the sky do to you?
Ah. Gentlemaneth returns..
Ms. Dark, you assume that I left in the first place.
