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.

yesterday it reached 38. Not too bad, but annying enough.
Hey, it's been awesome, but i gtg
*Hugs everyone* I'll cya soon, k?
You know, sometimes I really hate myself.
Actually I don't think that's quite it...
More like I'm scared of myself.
Of the kind of person I am at the core...
Hello again, by the way.
I think I'm getting heat stroke or something, because I have only had like 2 1/2 cups of water, but I'm supposed to have 6 cups
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Fabi! welcome back!
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye hellboy, hey fab
Goodbye, Hellboy.
Terribly sorry I wasn't able to join in the earlier conversations. They looked delightful, although I was too jealous of y'all to examine them in detail.
Hello Rueben!
Hi Snow!
Then again, if I had been here, I would be even more worried/scared than I am now...
Either that or I'd have said something that upset someone. Hard to say.
Right now I'm having iced coffee mixed with strawberry milk :)
It's surprisingly tasty!
#ChaseForBookNine
This pic feels so unbalanced when there are other names besides Jade.
I'm gonna change it, just a sec...
Ah. Sounds delightfully like...
Something I wouldn't especially like, seeing as I'm not fond of either coffee or strawberry milk.
But if you're enjoying it, that's great!
What in the world, Fabi?? You're here all the time. Why be jealous?? You're just being weird. O_o
Did someone steal your comp while you were away?
Right. So I'm writing my TSE chapter today. I have to. Granted, I'll be winging it, but thats when I do my best stuff.... lets hope its good.
Favis, love yourself! Why shouldn't you?
I have to go too, anyway, so I'll see y'all when I see y'all.
Snow, I have to know, what did you think about the last Sherlock episode?
Skyril, Fabi's not weird. *half-hearted slap*
Ember, do you know what you've done?! Everytime I watch sherlock amd mycroft is on, all I can think os bloob bloob!!
Lately I haven't been here as fully as I was. I mean, I've been present often enough, but something's just been missing. And I was finally feeling close to normal about being here again, and then I had to leave.
So maybe not jealous so much as...something else. But still.
Sorry.
XD I have a talent for affecting people's perspectives on Mycroft... for better or worse.
Seriously, though, what did you think?
Fabi, I think everybody's been a little upset lately. *hugs*
I thought : oh, it is soooo obvious whats going on. I was literally sittinh there going "hes using her, shes not who she says, this is all fake"
Serious2, ask my mum. I worked everything out 5 mins before it happened, and every time, my parents or brother would say "that isn't whats going to happen"
Goodbye, Skyril.
Good luck, Snow.
I wish I could tell you, Ember, but I don't think I could do so without bursting into tears, which I'm not currently in a position to do. Too many eyebrows.
And I am weird. Definitely.
Snow, last year, in grade 7, I had to write 3 dreamtime stories for a project, and the two that I had planned out took 1 week each, and were really good, as my teacher said, but then I did one that I didn't plan, and it took 2 1/2 hours, and was one of my best stories ever! My story was so good, that my teacher showed other kids parents what their story's should be more like
*sitting, *seriously
Sometimes it's important to cry.
And I think it's weird not to be weird. Can you think of any famous person, any loved person, who's not weird?
Awesome, Rue! You don't mind if I call you that, do you?
XD i won a trip to the Melbourne Writers Festivil with something I did last minute.
Snowy, I know. I knew the Mary thing when I first saw the word LIAR in that first S3 episode.
But what did you think about Moriarty returning? Mycroft being a bitch to Sherlock when they were kids? Sherlock returning after 4 minutes of exile? Magnussen?
Awesome, Snow!
One time my teacher entered this competition to try and win a toaster, and he won a CAR.
Ember, I don't mind at all :)
And where I am in Australia, Sherlock isn't going to be on for another 3-4 months :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Links, my friend! I'll post some here.

These should work!
Downloads babu. XD
well, like I said, it was good. But nothing really surprised me.
I've literally been handing out links to everybody I know, I swear.
Dundundundun dundundundun ooohhh weeeeee oooohhh weeohhh weee oooohhhh wweee ooohhhh weee ohhhhhh
ahem.... no.. no... I wasn't just sounding out the doctor who theme.... why would I do that?....
SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER
I just thought Moriarty coming back was stupid, Magnussen was awesome but he died IMMEDIATELY, Mycroft was a brat to Sherlock when they were kids if the mind palace memory was anything to go by, and Sherlock coming back immediately was bullshit.
Mary was totally brilliant, though. New second-fave character.\
SPOILERS OVER
I don't watch Sherlock, so, um, distant.
[Throws a baked potato at Ember]
Anyway, Fabi, if there's any way I can help, just tell me. Do you have a video thingy on gmail? I can probably call in a few minutes if you want.
((provided i figure out how to use the damn thing))
Don't be distant! We're not JUST talking about Sherlock.
*throws baked umbrella at Favis*
Ember!!! Calllll mmmeeee maayyyyyybbbeeeeee
Okay, here's a question, Favis--burgers or hot dogs?

((GAH NOO))
((Okay, then... Snow, what's your email?))
How does one bake an umbrella?
Um...do bean burgers count?
I should probably go, because I've been on here since 8:30, and its now 2:40 Australian time
((Also, can't you just jump out a window and run away or go to your room or pretend to have diarrhoea or something?))
P.S It took me six tries to spell diarrhoea
Hey, I'm a ninja,
this place is crazy,
You have an umbrella,
So call me, maybe!
Its hard to dance right
When you're a lady,
You have an umbrella
So call me, maybe!
Holy hell Rue! Alright, bye :) NICE TO MEET YOU! RETURN SOON, UNLESS nvm
Shove it in the oven, of course! Maybe add some salt to taste. And yeah, bean burgers count.
((Sorry...))
((I've escaped to my room now, but she still might hear me. I suppose we could try, though I wouldn't be able to talk much...))
My email issssssssss hilyerj@gmail.com
I'll call you! But a) My mother has to leave the house and b) I NEED TO KNOW HOW
Or lonleysnow@gmail.com
Then bean burgers, because I'm vegetarian-ish. :-P
Can we do a three-way call?
Btw, did you completely ignore my call me maybe parody?!
Yep. I could set it up. Because I am pro. Butttt. Yeah
SNOW YOU HAVE TO DO IT I DUNNO HOW
septembersilverfrost@gmail.com
((Should work. Like I said, though, I won't be able to make much noise and will probably be unable to stay long.))
I said I should PROBABLY leave, I never said I SHOULD DEFINANTLY (I've probably spelt that wrong) leave
#ChaseForBookNine
NO I DIDN'T
I just forgot to ;( CRY
*whacks on head with umbrella* I NO CALL

I don't see anything from you, Ember..l
Right. Okay. This is awkward. Let me try something... *is fiddling*
Can you please try again?
Well at least we're not arguing! :D

Reynalds, do you live in Rosewary, or something like that?
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello? is anyone on?
#ChaseForBookNine
I need to ask a question
How do you edit your blog account, as I have no idea how to, and I have set up this account from Gmail, I need to know like, how can I change my name, and how can I follow blogs and stuff, and other important stuff I need to know about, or another way how to do all of this stuff, like another website! It would be really great if someone at the least could tell me how to change my name, because I want to change my name to Mark Flux, Elder of Australia or something like that (and I hope your reading this Mr Landy, so you could put me in the last book, as an Elder of Australia!)

#ChaseForBookNine
Kinda here now
Hello?
So in order to attend States i need to sell doughnuts and make 50 flashcards.
How the hell do i make flashcards for grammar?! How the hell...i dont even study flashcards. I never did because flashcards arent the best method of study for me....ugh fml. I mean i am studying why do i need to prove it? Im pissed to waste my time making flashcards that legit do nothing. Even in Spanish i dont use flashcards they just don't help me no matter what. Ugh. May as well kiss going goodbye i will maybe sell a box if im lucky. Im not well liked by anyone. Teachers dont even like me much. Hate. My. Life.
Msd.
My morning just went downhill.
Hey Zaffy! How are you? Erm...flashcards?
Its stupid. But i talked to an officer he said he gets me just make them it isnt required to study them. So yeah he said take your study guide and write 50 questions.
Besides that im alive, almost crashed due to ice
Things I did today because I'm sure you are all desperate to know:
•Wrote more for my novel
•Got my younger brother to start SP with the promise of $10 when he finishes.
That's all I did.
GOODNIGHT!
Black rock shooter
Where did you go?
Can you hear me?
How much more do I have to shout
How much more do I have to cry
Stop it I can't run anymore
The world once dreamt closes
In pitch-black darkness with no light
Road that is about to collapse
That day's hope... which couldn't be here (though)
I thought I saw it
Why
Black rock shooter
Fond old memory
That simply pleasant (days back then)
Black rock shooter
Though I can't move
(Placing) wish to the star that runs through darkness
I will run just once more, so
Being scared... mutters in a quivering voice
Please call my name
Sky that take in the dawn
Distance to the boundary By one step, (short) to reach
Held tears are about to overflow
Don't look down now
Or (I would) stop
I want to keep living the future
I know (now)
(Cast your mind back)
Strongly... Strongly... believe this
Yes
Black rock shooter (That) Gentle smell
It hurt It's hard
Swallowing down (those) words
Black rock shooter
Please move, (my) feet!
Exceed the world
I knew it from beginning
That (you/I) be here
Every courage inside me
Is lighting the fire
I won't run away now
Black rock shooter (I am) not alone
Crying out in a voice is (all right)
Black rock shooter Will (be there to) watch
It's starting from now
My story
If I (ever start) to forget,
This song,
I will sing
Hello!
*hugs Cain although I'm not here*
*hugs Adra*
Hello? Anybody home? *knocks on imaginary door*
I'll be back later. BYE!
HELLO!

Hey Lantern. :)
I'm trying not to rant about irrelevant things.
Therefore, I have a surprising small amount to say. :P
Msd.
#ChaseForBookNine
I actually like reading your rants...
@Lantern: Thanks. :) :) But I'm trying to only say things that seem important to me.
Which means a lot of irrelevant jumble, but that's okay, because . . . yeah. I like ranting, and it needs saying, and . . . yeah.
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay then.
Um, I should probably go.
I'm trying not to be here during school all the time, so I basically just have the hours between school and dance, which aren't even supposed to exist.
Oh, and lunch.
@Lantern: :/ *hugs*
If you aren't here as much, I'll miss you, but being here in school could affect school work and is bad and that is bad. *nods*
So, um, I support your decisions?
#ChaseForBookNine
Omg my treacher had water from an aqueduct
@Zaf: O_O
Hi! :)
(I am FINALL approaching somewhere near the end of this 16x16 Sudoku. It's taken me DAYS.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Congratulations.
I'll still be here plenty, Star. [hugs]
@Lantern: :)
*hugs*
Sorry, a bit distant. Doing art homework, and the best way I know to rub out things on Photoshop is to do it by hand (the magic eraser can sometimes be a bit of a fail), so it takes ages. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I think Feferi x Eridan is a ship
I ship it.
I'M A PISCES *tears* *And loves Eridan*
*Isn't here*
It's alright, Star.
I can't exactly be described as here, either...
@Adra: Okay. :) :) *hugs*
@Lantern: We can be distant together. :) :)

I've been a fan of Vi for a long time, and I just have to ask this. Is there anything, like, wrong with her? Or is she just being artistic in a way that I don't understand?

People have asked that about great artists since art was invented. <3
@Lantern: I love that. :)

I thought you would. It reminded me of you, actually...
I'm finishing lunch, and then I have an appointment, so msd.
I think the right answer to that question is yes.

It was all just a lie...

#ChaseForBooknine
I don't know any words to sum it up,
Cause words ain't good enough,
There's no way I can explain your love,
Oh,
I don't know any words to sum it up,
Cause words ain't good enough,
There's no way I can explain your love,
Oh,
It's better than words,
Everyone tries
To see what it feels like
But they'll never realise
Cause it's better
It's better
It's better!
Hello :) *hugs Ari and Fabi and Star*
@Mara; That's an awesome song. :)
#ChaseForBooknine
Star - Better Than Words :) by 1D.
The lyrics in the verses are actually song titles:)
The girl's love is better than words, so they used song titles instead :P
@Mara: That's an amazing idea. :O
I would say "WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT", but I don't write songs, so it's kind of that emotions but not really . . . ?
#ChaseForBookNine
Hai guys msd I'll be gone in a bit until roughly 5 my time
*hugs Fabi*
Star -
[Harry:]
Better than words
But more than a feeling (ow)
Crazy in love
Dancing on the ceiling
[Liam:]
Every time we touch
I'm all shook up
You make me wanna...
How deep is your love
God only knows, baby
[Chorus:]
Woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
There's no way I can explain your love, no
Ah, woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
I can't explain your love, no
It's better than words
[Niall:]
Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh ooh oh!
[Zayn:]
Better than words
[Louis:]
Better than words

[Niall:]
Best I ever had
Hips don't lie
You make me wanna sss
One more night
Irreplaceable (yeah), crazy, we're crazy
[Chorus:]
Ah, woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
There's no way I can explain your love (there's no way I can explain your love), no
Ah, woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
I can't explain your love, no

Everyone tries (they try)
To see what it feels like (feels like)
But they'll never be right
'Cause it's better, it's better, it's better

Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh ooh oh!
It's better than words
Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh, ooh ooh oh!
Copied from a website, but yeah :P
@Mara: :) :) :)
Thanks.
And - I generally copy from websites, then go through and edit the lyrics to make them look how I want them to. :P
"I don't want anything more
Than to see your face when you open the door"
I was just thinking that when you hear that line, you have an image of someone opening a door, and I was thinking that everyone who listens to the song must have different images of different people, and it's kind of beautiful, in a way, how we all see the same thing but we all see it in different ways, and . . . and that's like with life, you know? Everyone sees things differently, even when they're looking at the same thing. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I need to write something. But something new. Some of the same characters, certainly, but there has to be at least one new one, too. So should I make it about the far past, or something roleplay that I never roleplayed, or something else entirely?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey baby, tell me your name
I got a fever for ya
I just can't explain
But there's just one problem
I'm a bit old school
When it comes to lovin'
I ain't chasin' youuuu
*hugs Star*
:)
Hi Zaf
I really like the song, Mara.
I'd love to read anything you write, Ari. The past might be a good idea...
Maybe something with Arisabel?
Gtg. [hugs]
That's really creative of them, Mara. I'm impressed. :)
Hey, Star, did I ever tell you that when I was little, I started saying left instead of right, because I thought it wasn't 'to fair to left? I only did it for a little, though, because people kept getting confused.
#ChaseForBook9
@Ari: Whatever you want. :) Either three sounds good. :)
@Mara: :) *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Ari: Oh my gosh. XD
I'm sort of like "*laughs*" and sort of like "YES!" and sort of like "*big smile* *an invisibile one, of course*" and sort of a combination of those, which of course makes something different entirely. Like, when you mix blue and yellow, it makes green, and green is a bit like blue and a bit like yellow but it isn't really either of them.
And, yes. :)
:) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari - Umm... Idk I'm bad with decisions :P maybe pick something out of a hat? Or pick your favourite idea and do the rest another time? Idk sorry :(
so harry styles is nominated for "villain of the year"
...
sigh
*hugs Fabi* Me too :)
Byeee :(
*hugs Star again*
:P
*hugs Ari* :)
Villain of the year? :/ Why?
#ChaseForBook9
Write Ari. Write anything about Nic's past. I love reading about his past
Ari - idk. Some award shows are messed up:/
One Direction are also nominated for "Worst Band".
Nobody deserves to be nominated for any of them tbh :/
@Ari: Ah, do a hat like Mara said. :)
(Although, that said, whenever I use random selection, I always disregard it and carry on struggling to make the decisions on my own. I think it's because I want to be happy with my decision, and to know it's the thing I want. Like when I had an argument with my sister, and my dad suggested a coin toss, and I said no, because I wanted to win PROPERLY. And it wasn't because the arguing was more important than the prize - I really did want to get what I wanted - and it WAS partially because 50/50 was too high a risk, but it was also because I wanted to get terms that I was comfortable with, and if I argued to a compromise, I wouldn't get what I originally wanted, but I would have acceptance for what I did get, and then I wouldn't be all resentful about it.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah just write Ari or write about one of the names, there are so many you could write about! How did they die or about their life!
I wish I could write but a. I have drama and b. nobody reads my work
Msd though :/
*nods to Mara* *sigh* People who can't let anyone else be happy... :( At least they have people like you to count on- even if they get voted worst band, they've saved people's lives, and inspired so many amazing people like you, and they'll always have that.
Zaf- he has a lot of past. Should I write something with Arisbel, then, or introduce a new name?
#ChaseForBook9
Introduce one of the more sane ones :)
@Mara: I agree about the award shows being messed up. -_- Why the hell would you even?
Going mostly off topic but not quite (thin threads. It's mostly the same tone as the conversation in my head and that's the link, but yeahhhh . . .), we had an assembly about bullying today, and we got informed that the thing people were bullied most about was weight.
Just, WHY.
We also got told that in a survey or whatever, 19% admitted to bullying someone at some time, 16% admitted to being bullied at some time, and 6% admitted to both.
That's both interesting and wth.
I think 'bullying' is a bit of a stupid way to talk about it to us, tbh. 'Bullying' is now, in our minds, this really serious thing (coz you know, we often get told how serious it is), and so we don't really think about how what we're saying could be linked so something so serious, kinda.
BUt I know what they're on about, because if they get us to realise that these things we don't think about ARE bullying, then we're like O_O because we know how serious bullying is (or should do).
I'm just kind of talking, now . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
I read your writing, Zaf. And even if no one did, that shouldn't be a reason to stop. I've written tons that I doubt anyone will ever read. I didn't write it specifically for others, I just wrote for the story.
#ChaseForBook9
ARGHHH THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY AND FORGOT!
Don't you hate it when kids are moaning about how crap a teacher is, and then they start going on about how fat they are?
It's just . . . their weight has NO RELEVANCE. And if you're just insulting them for the sake of it, you cease to actually have a point and just end up being some kids who insult people. -_-
They don't just do it to teachers, but teachers is a major one.
If you're going to be immature like that, you're not looking mature enough to have a legitimate reason for them to be fired or whatever.
And that's not even going into how irrelevant weight really is (unless you're so fat/thin it's dangerous to your health.)
URGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
@Zaf: Ah, nobody read my writing. :)
Now, however, I've decided I don't want anyone to and privatised my blog.
So I suppose I can't really speak.

I looked up the lyrics to Vermilion Pt.2 by Slipknot a while ago to compare them to the lyrics of Vermilion, and I was reading a few of the reviews (because it's a website that lets you post reviews beneath), and half of the top review (which analysed both pt.1 and pt.2) reminded me of Osmosis:
"The lines about the black dahlia in part 1 show that the person is fantasizing about doing awful perverted things to her, to the point in which he may even KILL HER. He's stalked and obsessed over her, but his fear of losing her, and perhaps a deep-rooted hate for her, because of that, have led to this ultimate ending, in his mind. He feels he can be her master because of his power over her, and yet he is a slave to her because of his love an obsession with her, which forms a hate inside because he then forfeits control, control being the key to all of this. The only way for him to live now, without baring the pain of being without her (because in some way she will eventually be gone) is to kill her. He can bring her home, by killing her, because "home" would then be with him, in a way, forever.
In part 2 we hear his softer side, this is the part of him that truly loves her, the human side, coming through, and he's admitting he doesn't want to be that person. He doesn't want to love her, because he doesn't want to kill her, in ending, which he believes is the ultimate result. He feels he can never fully have her, because she is the dream, and the dream never becomes a full reality, so he is stating that he doesn't even want to begin to let this happen, because he doesn't want to let the feelings that ultimate lead to wanting to kill her, to form."
(Beautiful, beautiful song, Vermilion Pt.2.
Vermilion Pt.1 can be kind of scary.
But Vermilion Pt.2 is BEAUTIFUL.
And I love the similarities between the two, and how they're the same and yet so different, and it IS like the different portrayal of the same situation, and asdfghjkl.)

SHIT
@Adra: *laughs* XD
Less than a minute earlier, I think, and I'd've got first. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I didn't know you had any writing to read, Star.
Hey Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
I was going to get 1800
I WAS
BUT NOW I'M NOT
You can be beautiful
Wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me...
Hello, Ari, Star, Zaf, Fabi, Mara, person, person, person, person, person, person,
*Needs to stop being a broken record*
I'll dedicate to Homestuck *cough*, to books as well! Fabulous books, including "Ripper", which is an amazing solo.
And to the classics.
To the snow we're getting, and to Thursday.
*Ponders*
And to the story I'll be writing about what Adra was doing in the mid-1900s
* *raises glass*
Hello Adra *hugs*
Wbd.
Hear hear *raises glass*
OH
I also realized in the middle of class, something that wasa bit of a downer, and that it's always easier to become sad when you are happy than to become happy when you're sad.
And yeah, that was my Geometry downer.
Olé
I also discovered some new alchemists today... If I get free time tonight, I might discover a bit more about them and try my best to get a general understanding of who they are
But it was cool. It gave me an idea :)
I was also thinking about when Adra is going to propose to Trip
@Adra: Hear, hear! :)
@Ari: *points to privatised blog happily* I don't. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: :( *hugs*
And - Yay! :)
And - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Nods*
It's really sad, actually.
When I'm having a bad day, I always think about something hilarious that Adra would do, or something adorable, then I brighten up, and begin to plot.
Like today.
Except, at night, that's when my imagination starts to kill off people so,
Also fun
@Adra: :/ :( *hugs*
And - that's a good system. :) :)
Your imagination is slightly evil at night. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
My imagination gets more terrible at night.
It's naturally evil, Star.
So far, I have thoroughly planned eleven different scenarios in which Adra could potentially die. All of which, rest assured, Trip dies as well.
Thanks Ari I feel better about myself :)
Wbd/msd
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else,
It gets me frustrated,
And life's like this you,
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it,
No, no, no
*Hugs Zaf if she leaves*
*Hugs Mara too*
(Though, I will add to my earlier comment, the majority of Trip's deaths are based on the knowledge that, if Adra were to die, he would die with her [As seen by the time they went to Berlin]
Or vice versa)
(But yes.
I have some fantastic ideas.)
Ah. *Scratches her head*
It appears-
Aha. I must cease hinting at my plans. They might be revealed.
*Sinks backwards*
My 16x16 Sudoku went wrong . . .
THEY ALWAYS DO THIS JUST AS I'M ABOUT TO FINISH DOING THEM.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
*mentally prepares self to spend another week trying to complete this Sudoku*
#ChaseForBookNine
I SPENT SO LONG ON IT.
AND THEN IT WENT WRONG.
WHYYYYYYYYYYY.
(I mean, this is the second time I've gone wrong on it, but at least last time it was near the beginning!)
(I got all the spaces filled.)
(And it went wrong.)
(ARGHHHHHHHH.)
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm sorry, Star :/
