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.

«Oldest ‹Older 4001 – 4200 of 4919 Newer› Newest»Oh you poor soul, I can sympathise.
(Anyway, I thought I would come here for small talk, comforting encouragement from fellow ladies, and to torment my darling Oscar.)
@Annika: :/ *hugs*
And - meh. If you were a werewolf in this day and age, you would probably end up going to prison for murder. So, you know, not good.
Because like, if you were in prison, you wouldn't be able to come to Blogland and see us. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
What do you mean werewolves don't have menstrual cycles.
Shit.
I want Alexandria's (?) mutation.
*Emerald scrambles up against the wall, taking huge heavy breaths. She was wondering why she wasn't dead yet in all honesty*
-
*Lorcan takes a small look around and sighs*
Lorcan: Home sweet home, I guess.
I have thought about it, and on the whole, I'm glad I'm a girl.
Then again, I'm generally glad to be who I am.
Which I have Blogland to thank for, I believe.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hassle: *tilts his head*
Tired
Tired
Tired
So tired. Y'know?
Been waiting a long EHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEH time to get to say hullo to you, Oscar.
*giggles wetly*
She locked me up
locked me away
like you and your family did to her!
Locked the monster girl
in a pretty little bird cage.
*hoarse laugh*
So she locked me up with her, when I banished her to the abyss.
She did! She did she did she did!
*guttural slurping noises*
Th-then you beat Khasisisisisis, and I'm free!
Freeeeee!
Ehehehehehehehe!
I like you Oscar.
I like like like like you, Oscar Oscar.
Alexis: yeah home sweet home. The treehouse is empty for a bit, Ravel took the little ones and Mom is at work
I can be here slightly less distantly now, because my sister's reading. :)
#ChaseForBooknine
Aye, Star.
-
*Tries to wiggle out of her burrito*
*Calls* We're your friends, Emerald. You've only forgotten and- no matter how scary Hydra is, she won't hurt you.
Now- the guy who woke you up- where is he?
Effie: [Gets bored of annoying the cabbie and sits back in her seat] [Watches cars in the rearview mirror] Hey, is that silver car following us?
Rook: [Considers] There was a silver car behind us most of the trip, but if she's intentionally tailing us she's doing a rubbish job of it.
Effie: She?
Rook: [Gestures at the car, or more specifically the driver, woman with sunglasses a trench coat and wild hair]
Effie: Oh
[Liz raises an eyebrow]
Effie: Duh. How does she do that?
[Liz's shoulders move in a barely perceptible shrug]
Effie: Yo, cab dude! You know that park a couple blocks from here? Whatchamacallit?
Cabbie: River Creek?
Effie: Something like that. Have you heard of it? Does some inkling of you minuscule brain recognize the idea of the location?
Liz: ...Effie, he just told you the name.
Effie: It could have been a lucky guess!
Cabbie: [Turns into the parking lot for the park]
[Drops off Effie, Liz and Rook]
[Charges them a ridiculously overpriced sum]
[Then asks for a tip]
Effie: [punches him and informs that some people actually read the mile/price signs on the side of the cab, and a tip is more than covered]
Cabbie: [Flees]
Rook: [Sighs]
The silver car: [Pulls into the parking lot as well]
[Anna Zinaida smiles from the front]
[The windows are tinted, so they can't see the person in the back]
(I do dearly love Blogland. It's nice to have people give me feedback about my writing, which is the one thing I don't get at home. Not often, anyway.
*sighs*
*whimpers in pain*
Thank you for the sympathy, though.
Mother bought me a pizza,
so at least I am happily full while I lie here.)
Fabi! *Watches*
Ew, pizza.
And I wary my brother coming downstairs and chugged the entirety of my 10oz apple juice and excuse me while I go get sick
Hassle: *tilts his head the other way*
Know what I th-th-think?
I think I did the right thing.
Don't you?
Oscar Oscar OSCAR.
*shadows twist from the darkness and snap Oscr's head to the left*
*he gasps*
Hassle: Oscar, did I do the right thing?
HEEHHEHEHEH.
*guttural slurping*
Peeling them apart. Slicing and dicing and slicing and dicing till my niece was not one but two! But two! Deja vu.
*paces around*
*taking wobbly, awkward steps*
Khasiis
and neiceiis
Khasiis
and neiceiis
and so I save the world!
Throw the flower, ring the gongs!
All hair the conquering heeeeero!
*prances back and forth*
*waving his arms as if accepting applause*
*then collapses on the ground*
*trembling all over*
*and giggling*
*Oscar
Hassle: Didn't win
no
no
didn't win at all.
Not the conquering heEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHro, am I, no no no no no.
The cancer lives on,
not Khasiis,
but niece.
Not Khasiis,
but niece!
Niece!
*sings loudly and out of tune*
OH, WELL IMAGINE
AS I'M PACING THE PEWS IN A CHURCH CORRIDOR
AND I CAN'T HELP BUT TO HEAR
NO I CAN'T HELP BUT TO HEAR AN EXCHANGING OF WORDS
ehehehehehheheheheheh
*breathing heavily*
*head down*
Don't . . . hurt . . . her . . .
Hassle: She's my n-n-neice,
I hurt her if I want to!
Like YOUUUUU hurt her,
and like ALGY-ALGY-ALGERNON HURT HER!
*high-pitched giggling*
Wanna protect her, like a
good
little
groom?
Ehhehehehehheheh!
@Annika: DAMN, Hassle is crazy. O_O
(*momentarily forgot his name there :P*)
My friend was saying the only people in our science class that she really noticed (because this girl had moved down a set and it took my friend six weeks to realise) (not that I realised either) were me, her other friend, and her boyfriend, and she momentarily forgot her boyfriend's name and we were laughing. XD
You know, one time in English I spaced out, as I do, and was coming back to reality and I said "Hunter", and then I realised I'd spoken it rather than saying it in my head and I was just like yeahhh . . . that looks odd . . .
(Everyone thinks I'm a severe weirdo anyway.)
I spaced out really badly today, which was unusual for when I'm at home, and one minute I was sitting on a stool whilst they were making icing, and then next minute everyone was in the living room and I was just kind of sitting there frowning at the change in situation.
Oh . . . my friend, when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything about the night before, from when she walked in through the door.
And all her homework that had to be in that day was done, and she could remember an extra paragraph of her French, but she didn't remember any of it.
Although later in the day she remembered having dinner.
But it was rather scary, really.
(Sorry, rambling.)
@Annika: Well, yay for your gratitude?
*stills can't spell 'gratitude'*
*generally ends up typing 'graditude', which sounds like it's being said in an American accent :P*
Pizza is good. :)
Do you have any painkillers?
#ChaseForBookNine
I take that back. He is slightly more crazy than crazy.
And slightly more slightly than slightly.
And slightly more slightly than slightly more than slightly.
It's not really slightly at all.
It's more like VERY VERY MUCH.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hassle: *seizes Oscar by the shirt*
*yanks him forward*
C-c-c-can't help it if I'd be better off not existing at a-a-all, my suffering would EHEHEHEHEH be over then, ehehe?
Vorpal
Vorpal
Where's the Vorpal blade!
I . . . don't . . .
Hassle: The vorpal blade what killed itty-bitty-baby Khasiis! I want it! Want want!
*cracks Oscar's head violently into the back of the chair*
Want want want!
*slams a fist into his stomach*
*gasps*
*bends double, breathless and choking*
Hassle: I can hurt you lots
lots
more.
In fact, I waaaaant to, too! Eheh!
The longer I hurt you,
The better pictures I'll draw of you,
and you'll make a pretty pretty corpse
for a pretty pretty bride.
Oh how she'll SQUIRM when she sees the pictures I'll draw of you in this kind of pain!
I want her
S-Q-I-R-M-I-N-G
little bitchy bride-girl-neice!
HATE her for Khasiis,
never never never was Khasiis,
no,
SHE was the cancer,
NEICE was the cancer
Hurt hurt HURT HURT.
Hassle: *slams a foot into Oscar's crotch*
*and yanks him upright by the collar*
Don't care about you you you,
never hated you.
*grins wildly*
Wanna hurt the bride,
hurt that pretty little wicked poisoned bride!
Bleed bleed bleed
every drop of blood will pain her more!
*Emerald shrugged. She didn't know who Adra was talking about. When she woke up it was dark and there was no one else in there with her*
-
*Lorcan takes Alexis by the hand and they take a nice walk to the treehouse*
ANNIKA
THAT IS HORRIBLE-BRILLIANT-AWESOME-HORRIBLE.
*is a bit tangled emotionally here*
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *once there takes him to her room stepping over various Barbie dolls and teething rings in the living room and then kisses him*
It's interesting how EmTC doesn't remember. Memories make us who we are, and is Em really Em if Em isn't Em?
. . .
Actually, that's rather a worrying thought. :/
#ChaseForBookNine
*Wiggles out of her blankets*
*It turns out to be more difficult than she had previously thought*
*Gets up, picking up a piece of boneless chicken on the plate near her, and downing it*
*Drinks a cup of water, as her tiny human stops growling her tummy*
*Nods*
Hassle: Killed him! Killed my T-A-R-O-T, baby, why'd you go! Baby brother . . .
*lets Oscar go*
*leaves him hanging limp in his bonds*
*breathless*
*in unimaginable agony*
Hassle: Wh-wh-why'd I go and kill you?
You little SNAKE, SNAKE SNAKE.
Literally.
Why
Why
WHY?
WHY, OSCAR, WHY?
Ripped him open,
ripped him nose
to crotch
nose
to crotch
and he's DEAD.
Opened him up like a Christmas present
and he DIED DIED DIED.
Killing people doesn't make people like you, Oscar.
It just makes them DEAD DEAD DEAD.
Eheheheheheheheh.
Doctor Doctor Doctor Tarot
Little baby brother,
held you when you were born,
then you died.
BUT YOU HAD TO.
*leaps up*
*begins to pace*
*looks at his hand*
*slick with Oscar's blood*
*licks it off greedily*
Didn't want to KILL the girl
the niece,
the little niece who thinks she can get MARRIED after b-b-breaking meeeee!
Happy day,
wedding bells,
la la la
LA LA LA.
He had to die,
so does she, so does she
wedding bells will ring, ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling . . .
*dances in circles*
*eyes closed*
*smiling*
BELLS WILL RING TING-A-LING-A-LING TING-A-LING-A-LING!
Sing with me Oscar
Sing
Sing
Sing!
Everyone cries at weddings
and so will the blushing bri-i-i-i-ide!
*Looks at Em, then sighs deeply, pinching the bridge of her nose, trying to think again*
((This craziness is rather fun/fascinating to read, actually.))
((It's a bit like reading poetry, in a way.
Er.))
#ChaseForBookNine
Hassle: *stops*
*red-faced and breathless and smiling*
*then leans on Oscar's knees and peers into his face*
Hassle: Let us play a game game game,
let us have a pretty tea party.
I will be the hatter,
and you will be the lying dying groom,
and we can drink blood out of pretty little bone china cups,
ehehehheheheheheheheh.
I wonder
wonder
wonder
what I can do to hurt you MORE,
I already bled
and beat
and punched.
UHGHGHNGHNGNNG!
*angrily punches the floor*
BORED
BORED
BORED
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS I ROT ROT ROT
IN THE DARKNESS WITH ONLY KHASIIS TO TALK TO ME, TALK TOO ME, TALK TWO ME, HHHAAAAAAA.
*dissolves into hiccuping sobs*
*gasping for breath*
Play with me, Oscar!
Oscar Oscar,
innocent little boy tugs on his big brother's sleeve, asking
"Can I play with the monster girl!"
And you opened the cage,
and then I became a hero and a prisoner and a bad-bad-bad-bad man!
Done!
Done done done!
No more hurting you today!
Lie there, bleed, enjoy the pain and the filth and the disgusting blood!
Have fun fun fun!
I want MORE ways to hurt you and hurt her.
Hold STIIILL, still still.
*whispers* I have to draw you, make a pretty pretty picture of the groom for the bride.
Pretty pretty pretty.
What color should the tablecloths be?
Chartreuse
Chartreuse
Chartreuse
*claps hands together*
What if I brought the chartreuse man here, the white white white man who like chartreuse and is afraid of blushing maidens,
bring him him HIM
and then I can hurt you MORE
if I hurt you BOTH
Oh joy!
Oh happy day!
*laughs*
*claps hands*
Now I get to draw you,
draw you,
I hope she likes my pretty pretty picture,
painted with your pretty pretty blood.
THE END
*Finds a papaya and chews on that as well*
*Her relaxation time wasn't very relaxing. Memories from her time away were reverberating through her mind like a bell that had rung ages ago, and was caught in an echo*
Adra strained against the bonds, blood trails making their way down her hands, seeping through the cracks in the floor and to the ground below.
"Turn it off!" Erigone screamed, then lashed at her with a piece of sharp wire, the metal slicing Adra's skin, and she screamed.
Her elder's voice was low. "Adrasdos Dark, I am ordering you. You've done it once before- you became unfeeling. Do it- DO IT NOW!"
Another lash.
War was no place for the soft hearted. And they weren't in need of the kind, caring Adra, no- they were looking for Adrasdos, Adri, the Empress, the cold blooded killer who used to wash her hands in the blood of those whom she had killed in war.
*She shakes the memory again*
*Not there*
Wonderful, Annika
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I was NOOOOOOOOOOOOO originally, and thEN YOU ENDED UT ON ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER AND LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*glares*
(but it is a bit like reading poetry)
(it's nice)
#ChaseForBookNine
(That was way more fun to write than I thought it was going to be. I should write drop-dead-crazy people more often.)
Effie is really awesome. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Annika: You should. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Oh yes, I think truth or dare was the first time I met Effie and I loved her.)
That she is, Star
*Lorcan giggles as they both stepped over the child and baby things. He never had younger siblings so it made him laugh. He returned Alexis' kiss, just maybe a bit harder but gentle*
-
*Emerald could see that Adra was becoming frustrated. These people seemed to care about her. Why couldn't see remember them. She could feel the tears brimming again, it was if her eyes were broken and just pouring water.*
(Well, would anybody like to role-play with Doctor Precocious or Garrote Armitage?
If not, I could always find some other thing to do.)
@Annika and Adra: *nods*
*still watching, people :)*
#ChaseForBookNine
*making a card :/*
#ChaseForBookNine
*Glances at Emerald* No offense, but it might be better if you went back to your room. You can't speak, nor do you remember anything useful...
*Pauses* And I have an alchemist that can teach you some basics of sign language to get you by in the mean time. But until then... You aren't very safe but here. The man who woke you up is a killer- he is incredibly dangerous. And he will, without a doubt, come for you
(Well . . .
*yawns*
Hmmm . . . what to do . . . what to do . . .)
BBS, dinner.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Mumbles to herself* And I need a shower to think...
(I think I may just depart. I'm uncertain as to what to do now.
Farewell, chaps.)
Okay, Star *waves*
Alexis: Oh Lorcan...*grins* Fun to see all the toys eh?
Effie: Aw, thanks. You're all awesome, too!!!<3
Goodbye Annika, as well *waves*
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain,
Leave my heart open but it stays right here, empty for days...
Hello, Mara!
((Waves to the people who left))
((Is writing more of a back story for Liz))
((Has two really good plot ideas for her, and they conflict terribly.))
((I'd planned on doing the first, but things have happened since that make it less original, so I don't even know. The second is rather pathetic in comparison, though...))
*Shuffles off to her shower, quickly undressing and standing under the water, the steam clearing her mind a bit*
*Tries not to fall asleep, just think*
*Emerald clasps a hand over her mouth in fear. Someone really was coming to kill her, that thought was frightening. She solemnly nodded at Adra and started to walk back to her room*
-
*Lorcan smiled again as he pulled Alexis in closer to him*
Lorcan: I'm just not used to the organized mess.
Maralieeee [hugs]
*In Emerald's room, Priya is sitting with a sketch pad, swinging her legs*
I've been here for a few hours aha
Just ghosting I guess.
*hugs Adra and Fabi*
I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things..
*Bites Mara* oOPS
*Emerald walks in and closes the door. She jumps back as Priya catches her off guard.*
*A shiver snakes up Adra's spine. She's unaware but there is a trail of shadow snaking its way out of the bathroom and into her bedroom*
Alexis: Ah it is. *kisses again* Finally alone
NEEVR FEAR, STAR IS HERE!
And I reaalllllly need to get on with my card.
So wbd.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Priya waves, then lifts up a wipe-board that says "Hello, I'm Priya! I'm going to teach you how to speak without sound!
*Cheeky grin*
-
*Shuts the water off, then begins the slow and arduous process of actually wringing her hair out, because it's like, three feet long*
*Grabs a towel and begins to dry herself off, working on her hair*
*Which is obnoxious*
*Her tummy rumbles and she sighs- wanting applesauce and asparagus again*
((Yay, Priya! :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
Gtg, dance.
[hugs]
*Lorcan kisses her back*
Lorcan: Ah yes, alone. But what to do in such a situation. That is the ultimate question.
-
*Emerald half smiles and slightly waves at the girl holding the wipe board*
-
*The lights starts to flicker and buzz slightly around Adra.*
FOurs, Lantern! :(
((Damn, Em, that amount of roleplaying looks hard. O_O))
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: I really don't know...we have a few hours to do anything we want before they all come back
Bye Fabi! *hugs*
-
*Priya pats the seat next to her, indicating for Em to sit down*
-
*Sighs a long, deep sigh* *Shouts* HYDRA IF YOU ATE THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRING, I WILL END-
*Stops*
..
*Quickly puts on a tank top and sweats, running from her bathroom door and sprinting for across the room*
Hey Star.
Tell Ez and Hunter that my next cat's middle name is going to be Ezter.
Schrödinger Ezter Purcell.
Or.
Well.
Maybe Poe. I like Poe.
*Lorcan has a cheeky glint in his silver eyes as he gently lifts Alexis and lies her down on the bed. He lies down beside her, leaning up on one arm as he starts to run his fingers gently up and down her arm*
-
*Emerald cautiously sits. She is still very fearful of everyone in this situation.*
-
*The lights are still flickering and buzzing around Adra as she runs*
(I apologize i msd for a few we are getting new cases for our phones
Alexis: *eyes widen from being picked up and layed down but isn't scared* Oh! *is grinning like mad* Lorcan that feels good...*keeps her eyes on him
*Priya pats her arm, and writes the word "hello", then does the sign language for the word, then indicates that Em tries*
-
*She pulls on the sword that is hung up against her wall, but it's stuck*
*Yanks the whole thing from her wall, sand unsheathes it* *Holds it steady, looking for the best place to be*
@Zaf: Okay. :)
LOREXIS. O_O O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
-man-
We let it all slip away . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
(Have we mad feels go?
Lorcan: *smiles* Oh really, well how about this then?
*He leans up closer to her and starts to kiss her jawline and slowly moves down to her neck.*
-
*Emerald tries the word and hope she did it right. It felt like she messed the whole word up.*
-
*The lights pop and Adra is plunged into darkness. There is a low chuckle from somewhere in the room.*
Alexis: a lot....awesome...* feels her heart race from excitement*
*Priya frowns, and guides Em through the signal- it is one of the easiest*
*Gestures for Em to do it once more without her help*
-
*Takes a deep breath, her sword at the ready* Fine. We can play it this way.
YES, MAD FEELS GO. :) :) :)
Really msd . . . :/
#ChaseForBookNine
*Hugs Star if she disappears*
Her boyfriend's a dick,
He brings a gun to school
And he'd simply kiss
My ass if he knew the truth,
I remember seeing this live at the concert. Niall and Liam were dancing and it was so perfect.
Wbd, idk if I'm here. I feel like shit tbh and I'm reading Larry proof posts too, so.
*Hugs Mara* I hope the fanfics cheer you up.
Or that video that you sent to Star and me about Harry and that compilation they made :)
*hugs Mara*
*Lorcan can feel every beat of Alexis' heart and hopes that its a good sign to continue at the pace he's going. He puts his hand on her hip and pulls her in closer and he slightly nibbles on her neck*
-
*Emerald concentrates and does the gesture again. Feeling a bit more confident in doing it a second time, she hopes it's up to Priya's standard*
-
*A cold breeze blows slightly past Adra's hands*
Deacon: Now now Ms. Dark. Let's not get ourselves in a stressful situation, you have another life to think about.
Just remember that the shit feeling passes, Maralie <3
Btw, Emerald, that's a great profile picture. :)
Alexis: *quietly* go on I'm enjoying this a lot *as she is pulled close one hand wraps around him*
Hello? Mbd. How are you all?
*Nods* I saw something that said it's like an arrow. To shoot an arrow, you have to fall back a little. But when you let go of the arrow, you fly until you hit your target :)
-
*Priya claps, and hugs Em* *Gives her a thumbs up, and writes on the board, "My name is Emerald. How are you?"
*Nods, and slowly goes through the steps, word for word*
-
*Hisses, and swings wildly, hearing the sword go through a painting* Come out here and fight, will you? Instead of hiding like a twat.
Hi Emby, Rhy! *hugs* Good, how are you two?
I'm good Adra :) just bored. I'll do some writing or something. You?
*hugs Rhy and Adra*
Oh. :/ Good luck then, bae. And I'm okay :)
*Bites Emby*
Hiya Ember! How are you?
*Lorcan takes a deep breath as he slowly takes his hand off Alexis' hip and starts to nervously, unbutton her shirt.*
-
*Emerald gulps as she slowly watches Priya. She then began wondering what it must be like to actually talk.*
-
Deacon: Oh I am not here to fight my dear, I'm just here to say hello. It's been so long since I last saw you. I've missed you Adra.
*He chuckles again*
*kick
holy fuck.
Adra - *hugs back*
Oh, proof posts aren't fanfics. Aha. They're posts that prove Larry is real. They're interesting, I guess.
Ember - *hugs back*
Hey Em! How's things?
*squeaks*
I'm good! A little tired, but yeah... You?
Alexis: *gives him a nod now being focused totally and starts to unbutton his shirt with her free hand*
I'm fine Ember :) I'm tired as well.
Is this a Lorexis moment...?
Yo Mars! How you?
*Priya looks at Em, and motions for her to try*
-
Yes Deacon, well, I can't say the feeling is mutual. *Lowers her sword, and walks to her bag, getting some applesauce*
-
OH okay Mara ;3 I bet they are. I love those things on Tumblr about Harry Potter and Doctor who, etc.. Theories :)
You could try drawing on Microsoft Paint? That's what I do!
(Hehehe yeees Lorexis moment)
I DON'T WANNA READ THE ODYSSEY *throws tantrum*
*Doesn't envy Ember*
*Like*
*At all*
omg.
Pallas Athena.
ODYSSEUS LIVED THE LIFE.
*Lorcan lets a loose giggle escape through his lips as he slowly moves down and starts to kiss all along the width of Alexis' collarbone*
-
*Emerald tries and slams her hands onto her knees as she completely got her fingers muddled up.*
-
Deacon: So hows potential motherhood treating you? I also noticed that you have the lovely Emerald around somewhere, how is she adjusting to a heartbeat again?
*throws self off a pocket-sized cliff*
*Priya waves her hands in a way to show that Emerald shouldn't get frustrated, and slowly brings her through the motions again*
-
*Crosses her arms* None of your business, and... None of your business. Howabout that.
Alexis: *giggles as she feels his kiss, excitement surging through her*
I should've gotten more food, dammit.
Me too, Ember... me too..
And I can't go get anything out of the fridge because my grandma sleeps in the living room >:(
BYE RHY!
BYE RHY!
*Lorcan smiles at Alexis' giggle as he trails his fingers just under her collarbone on her chest. His touch is ever so lightly.*
-
*Emerald holds up her hand to ask Priya to wait a moment before she takes the wipe board and writes on it.
"Do you know who I am?"*
-
*A single light shines down just above Adra, causing the rest of the room to look even darker than normal. A few tendrils of shadows start circling around Adra, especially her baby bump.
Deacon: *gritted teeth* Don't be so foolish, thinking you can be so flippant to me. Not this time!
Alexis: this feels so good.....carry *kisses his cheek
*Priya writes* "Emerald"
-
Flippant? That's hilarious! *Looks at the shadows* You wish.
*Lorcan moves Alexis so she is lying flat on her back. He then start to kiss her stomach as his hand finds her chest and tenderly trails his fingers over the fabric of her bra*
-
*Emerald frowns and writes again.*
"Yes, but who is Emerald? I don't know who I was."
-
*Deacon suddenly clicks his fingers and the shadows around her bump starts sink into it.*
Alexis: *feels a small gaso form* You can take that off
(*quickly scuttles out the door*)
_L>orexis what_
-
*Priya frowns* *Writes* "I don't know you..
-
*She moves, and dashes for her door, pulling on it* No you don't!
*Touches her arm, and a few symbols light up, pushing against the shadows*
Bye Emby? :P
*Lorcan stops for a moment and looks at Alexis. Slight concern on his face.*
Lorcan: Are you really sure you want to go further than this Lexi, I mean, I don't mind not going any further. I mean, it's not that I don't want to, I just... I'm rambling aren't I?
-
*Emerald puts the board down and lets out a huge sigh and she nods slowly towards Priya*
-
*Deacon suddenly has Adra against the wall, his hand wrapped around her throat. He growls.*
Deacon: I want Emerald. If I don't get Emerald then I guess you and that moron Castalan are gonna have a very special child indeed by the time I'm done.
*Deacon leans down and kisses Adra hard before he disappears into the shadows, laughing.*
*Priya tries the words one last time with Emerald*
-
*She stands there*
*Gets on her coat and goes out the side door, running for the bar*
Alexis: I'm sure Lorcan. I am very sure
*Knocks on the door*
*Waits, rocking back and forth on her heels*
*Wipes her mouth*
*Begins pacing, one hand on her belly, the other scratching her head anxiously*
*Lorcan sits up, regretting that he is going to ruin the moment but he is so nervous.*
Lorcan: I'm sorry Lexi.
-
*Emerald attempts the sentence again, even though she slows down the speed of her hand movements*
*Priya nods, and motions for her to go once more*
-
*Shouts* Trip! *Tries to hold her tears back* *Leans her head against the door*
*Can not lose another one*
Mara: *scrolls down through Twitter, wiping her eyes as tears travel down her cheeks*
Harry: *is in the other room, playing with Mackenzie*
Look, Kenzie! Over here! *points to himself* What's my name?
Mackenzie: *gurgles*
Harry: *laughs* No, that's not my name. My name is Daddy. Isn't it? Well. It's Harry Edward Styles, actually. But Daddy also works. Can you say my name?
Mackenzie: *claps her hands together* *yawns*
Harry: Okay, okay, you're tired. I get it. *looks disappointed* Come on, up to Daddy. *picks her up and spins her around once, smiling* *goes over and places her in her cot* Night night, Kenzie. Sweet dreams. *turns on her nightlight before switching off the light*
*walks into the sitting room* Kenzie's a- Mara?
Mara: *wipes her eyes furiously* Hmm?
Harry: Babe... *notices her laptop in front of her* Twitter? Come here.
Mara: *pushes the laptop off her* *throws her arms around Harry* They hate me for loving you. *whispers*
Harry: Boo, I've dealt with these things before. They're just jealous because I'm taken. Which is weird. *hugs her* They're probably jealous of your personality, your voice, your looks. I mean, you're literally perfection. To me, if not others.
Mara: *sniffs*
Harry: *cups her face in his hands and looks her in the eyes* Listen to me, Maralie. You're so beautiful. Inside and out. So, so beautiful. *his tongue darts out and wets his lips, as he looks her up and down*
Mara: *goes pink* *shivers*
Harry: And you should listen to me. I am your husband, after all. *leans in and leaves butterfly kisses on her jawline*
Mara: *sighs* *kisses him, wrapping her arms around his neck*
Harry: *in between kisses* I know you want it,
I know you feel it too,
Let's stop pretending
That you don't know
And I don't know
Just what we came to do...
Mara: *laughs against his lips* *fumbles to undo his shirt buttons*
Alexis: Lorcan please relax. Please. I'm nervous too I know you are....I'm not scared to do this
OH DAMN HARRALIE
Lorcan: Well I am scared to do this Lexi. I don't even know why.
-
*Emerald tries it again and starts to speed up her hand movements but fumbles too much so she stops and takes in a deep breath*
*She wipes her eyes, adjusts her coat, and runs back to the lab to find Em*
(FUCK ME SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE ROLEPLAYING WITH YOU PEOPLE, I'VE NEVER HAD TO DED SO MUCH EVER!!!!!)
*I dedicate this page to all the awesome Youtubers I watch on a daily basis. They make me laugh and entertain me when I want to do nothing but cry. Thank you*
*knocks on her door*
*Rushes in*
Em!
*Emerald looks surprised as Adra comes in.*
*Raises glass* Hear hear!
-
Em, you- I-...
*Sits down* I have to stay with you.
"I saw something that said it's like an arrow. To shoot an arrow, you have to fall back a little. But when you let go of the arrow, you fly until you hit your target :)"
That's like my metaphor with stairs.
To go soaring up onto the next step, you have to dip down a little bit; when you lean forward to put your foot onto the next step, your body falls over slightly and you move downwards, but then you have your foot on the step and you go up like WHOOOSH, and it's a good metaphor for life sometimes, I think. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods to Star* Exactly like that!
You know, my rockclimbing instructor was asking who even knew what a semi-colon was anyway, and I was like I do, and I know what they're used for, and he was like, I know what they're for, you use them to make the winky smiley face, and I was like no but I know what they actually are and explained it and told him that I actually USED semi-colons, and I'm not sure if he believed me, but - *points to previous comment* I liked semi-colons.
#ChaseForBookNIne
*Emerald grabs the wipe board and writes.*
"Why do you need to stay with me?"
*like
*groans*
This thing my brain does is actually rather worrying. I misused words about five times in half an hour today. I would look at the dice and it would say five, and I would say "Six!"
And I called my brother my sister's name, and my sister "Mum," and idk, it was just happening continuously and like -_-.
(However, if I was one of those people doing announcements on a ferry, that would REALLY suck. :O)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Sorry lost service totally
Alexis: I guess its nerves...I guess we both have to be ready to push our fears away
SEMI COLONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
-
*Adra sits down on the bed* I have to look after you, just- don't ask.
Harry: *pulls off his shirt, throwing it on the ground*
Mara: *bites her lip* I love the way you still have your four nipples, babe. *laughs*
Harry: Well, they're hardly going to disappear. *laughs along with her* *pulls her t-shirt up over her head and steps back to look at her*
Mara: *pulls him back towards her* *kisses him*
((hear hear!
omg fetus one direction songs came on on shuffle
NOW I'M CLIMBING THE WALLSSSS
BUT YOU DON'T NOTICE AT ALLLLLLL))
*Fire in the 1D household*
@Adra: THANK YOU. :)
(Anyway, I know more than like eight people who are all older than me. I'm good. :P)
. . .
(Damn, I was the youngest, wasn't I?)
(You would think, as you get older, you would STOP being the youngest, but everyone else gets older as well. -_-)
(When I was thirteen, I was the youngest, and now I'm fifteen and I'm STILL generally the youngest, and yet there were plenty of fourteen- and fifteen-year-olds when I was thirteen. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD.)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Lorcan bites his lower lip as he leans in for another kiss off Lexi*
-
*Emerald writes*
"Do I need a lot of looking after now? I thought I was no use..."
O_O
*ships*
#CbaseForBookNine
(Now I've thought about it, my profile picture just looks like a load of swearing. :P)
(I can't really stop thinking it.
*hits head*)
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *leans in and kisses him*
*Shakes her head* Not like-
*Shakes her head* No. I just have to make sure you don't get hurt.
It looks like a star!
@Adra: Thanks. :) :) :) It's meant to be. :P
LOREXIS. O_O
#ChaseForBooknine
Anna: [Frowns at Liz] After I finish this, you and I need to have a talk.
Liz: [Starts to say something]
Anna: [Holds up a hand] This is not about the time you stole my car. I can forgive and forget as much as anyone. [Pause] Actually, hold onto that feeling. You'll need it.
Liz: [Her face is a combination of confusion, nausea and maybe even a little fear]
Anna: Well, then. [To Rook] Do you mind coming to my office?
Rook: [Shrugs blankly]
Anna: [Grabs Rook's arm and amulet-teleports]
Effie: [Scowls stubbornly] I have a band meeting. I'll meet you back here later. [Disappears]
Liz: [Stays still for a moment, then sits on a bench and begins to think furiously]
The person in the back of the car watches through the tinted window, staying perfectly still.
*Emerald frowns and looks between Adra and Priya before writing again*
"Why do you care so much? I don't even know who you are."
-
*Lorcan grabs Alexis close to him again and starts to kiss her harder. He weaves his fingers into her hair and pulls gently*
Alexis: *kisses back going to match him wrapping arms around him that feeling of unease fading to the backround*
*Rolls her eyes* But I know who you are
*Emerald writes slowly as she starts to cry*
"But I don't know who I am."
-
*Lorcan lies her down again. His kisses becoming more passionate as his hands start to explore all over Alexis' body*
Alexis: *feels his hands as she kisses and at points she can feel really relaxed even though she probably should be nervous
((Hi. Yeah. Um, really distant?))
((My blogs are sort of a form of organization for me, I guess...))
*she puts a hand on Em's shoulder* That's okay. We'll fix you soon enough...
-
*nods to Fabi**Hugs*
*watching everyone* :)
I think, sometimes, about how much I love the roleplay. It's amazing.
And I suppose I should just all thank you for that. :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*The lamp on the bedside in Emerald's room flickers slightly*
-
*Lorcan takes off his shirt completely as he starts kissing her neck hard, using his tongue at times too*
:) *hugs Star*
And we love Ezter. So much.
-
*Looks at the bedside, and grabs Em's arm, beginning to draw a symbol* This will try to keep the shadows off of you. If he shows up, don't go to him, and stick by Priya and me.
Alexis: *her eyes sparkle at his shirtlessness and really gets into kissing him*
*Emerald looks confused as Adra grabs her arm. The light flickers again but there is no buzzing like there was around Adra.*
Deacon: -In Emerald's Mind- Emerald... Emerald... I'm waiting for you... I can't find you... I'm worried... Come and find me sweetheart.
*Emerald can't explain it but suddenly she feels something. Was it love? Lust? It was something that had a connection. She had to find him*
-
*Lorcan sits her up slightly as his hands trace along her back to her bra clasp. He quietly swears as he fumbles with the clasp, he begins to blush that he can't open the damn thing*
@Adra: *laughs* Nah. It's not the same. :P
But I'm fine with that. :)
Being here is like reading no story I've ever read. It's totally unique, and wouldn't work as well any other way.
It's a really big privilege, tbh. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Alexis: *slips hand behind back and helps him* *quietly* Don't beat yourself up it's a pain even for me to get undone.
*Frowns* Em? Em, what's wrong?
@EM: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*coincidentally happened to write that just as the song went "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" :P*
*but yeah*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
#ChaseForBookNine
:P *Cuddles* It is, isn't it? Everyone's different style, is like a footprint. And putting all of those styles together... It's really interesting, and when some of us don't even collaborate outside of the Blog, it's so much more fun to be constantly surprised. Like a conversation.
And I still love Hunter and Ez to death, so hush you :)
*Emerald looks at Adra and makes a twirling motion with her hands and then points to her head. She hopes Adra understands that she's dizzy.*
-
*Lorcan opens up the bra and just looks down at Alexis*
Lorcan: Fucking hell, you're beautiful...
*He leans in and passionately kisses her hard again before nibbling on her neck, occasionally slightly biting*
Oh my gosh guys whatever you do DO NOT DESCRIBE ANY ACTS WHICH WOULD SCARE ME PLEASE.
THIS
PG.
-
*Frowns* wait... *Reaches up, feels her forehead* Do you feel like you're going to faint?
@Adra: *hugs* :) Yes.
I suppose . . .
I could give a good metaphor involving the card I'm making, but nobody knows what it looks like so I won't bother. :P
Just pretend that you heard my metaphor and it was awesome.
(of course it's awesome, I made it)
And - thanks. :) :) :)
Although obviously you love them. They're awesome. :P
(Which is not connected to me being awesome, because they're them whether I'm me or not, really.)
#ChaseForBookNine
That metaphor, Star. I love it. *Snapshots* *Wipes tear*
All three of you are awesome.. .The... Uhm. Terrific Trio.
Triastic Trio
Uhm :P
Alexis: *blushes* Thanks...*goes back to kissing him passionatlu
(Adra we'll go rated R just for you
@Adra: *laughs*
(scrap that.)
(I'll get the card.)
And - *hugs* Thanks. :)
Although we're not really a trio. There's them, and there's me.
Hunter and Ez are kind of solitary, anyway.
Although they haven't always been.
:/
I miss Morgan, you know.
#ChaseForBookNine
No please. I like my purity.
(I am treading so carefully here Adra you have no idea lol)
*Emerald looks at her with glazed over eyes as she stumbles back slightly, grabbing onto both Adra and Priya*
Deacon: Don't fight it my love, it is who you are. Who you were meant to be along. I know the real you, I won't try and contain you or hide you away like everyone else
-
*Lorcan shuffles down and takes Alexis' trousers off. He starts to kiss the inside of her legs and up her thighs. He can feel his own arousal but tries his best to concentrate on Alexis' pleasure*
:\ *hugs Star* Don't you be getting sad, now.
And as far as I'm concerned, you three are a trio. They just came first, I guess?
OH YEAH EM
SO CAREFUL.
THAT ISN'T TREADING WATER, EM. THAT"S FUCKING WATERBENDING A TSUNAMI.
*Closes her eyes**Shouts* PLEASE NO.
-
*Shakes her* Em, don't listen to him. Your name is Emerald Melody. You have a son named Lorcan, and you are married to Chase Horowitz, NOT Deacon.
(Same here Em :P I'm being careful how to tread with Lexi cuz hell her morher gave her those genes)
Alexis: *gasps starting to feel a feeling of pleasure, slow but coming* Your trousers now...*eyes sparkle with mischeif* (And no we are not having Lorexis children unless Em is willing to have Lorcan fixed.
ISN'T ALEXIS, LIKE, FIFTEEN?
#SexWithHarryBeLike
*moans*
omg
I'm almost there babe
*pants*
*gasps*
Oh thank god I finally got these tight pants off
It's scary how true this is.
Herrooooo
oh my god Mara. :P That's beautiful xD
Hello, Snow!
The #SexWithLiamBeLike is the funniest one by far omfgghnfindinjsiin s
Directioners shouldn't be allowed online
YEAH ANYWAY in my card, you have all the different section, and they're all pointing different ways and having the shading going different ways, but when you take all these little fragmented pieces and put them together, you're left with this beautiful (um, well, Blogland is more beautiful than the card, but :P) picture, and . . . and if you had one section of that card, then it would just be a random bit of shading and wouldn't be very extraordinary, but when you COMBINE them . . .
And if the card was all red shadings going the same way, it wouldn't be nearly as beautiful.
*nods*
And maybe people can add shadings on their own. And they have quite a good story going with their ltitle pile of shadings their. But when you're just a group of pretty red shadings, you are JUST a group of pretty red shadings, whereas when you interact with the other shadings, you become part of this extraordinary rainbow mess.
Like, people like rainbows. Rainbows are special. You're all pointing out of the window at them and looking around and hoping they appear, whereas when the sky's doing its usual blue/grey thing, it's just the sky, you know?
However, if the sky turned purple, we would be all O_O, because that never happens.
And if the whole sky is blue/grey all the time, it's just boring.
If you have multiple aspects of colour . . . that's beautiful. :)
