Imagine

Apparently I'll be appearing at the Imagine Festival in London this Monday, the 17th. I had a blast last year, where I showed clips from movies, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll do this time. I might read from one of the new short stories. I'd read from the ninth book, but there is nothing from the early sections finished, and anything read from later on would be a spoiler, so...

Oh, and speaking of Book 9, I have just reached the 75,000 word mark. Judging by this, the finished book will be at least 100,000 words, which is Mortal Coil length, and could be longer. LSODM will stay the longest, I reckon, simply because of the massive amount of characters involved. But because most of those characters are now DEAD, Book 9 allows me a smaller, more intimate story — while remaining as heart-rendingly traumatic as anything I've written before.

And speaking of heart-rendingly traumatic, I've actually written the last few chapters. Not to completion, of course, but I've written enough to know what happens, and how it ends, and who lives and who dies, and all I can say is...

I am MEAN.

Adra what's going on? Priya let me out! Please! Help me out! *starts battering at the door* Priya I need your help!

Noelle said...

Hey Aretha, btw

Noelle said...

*Priya stumbles backwards, shaking her head*
*Priya doesn't want to fight, doesn't want to hurt anyone*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Niccolò is not currently in a position to speak, so no, sorry- but after he heals a bit, sure. He took on more wounds than he could heal, so I sent him to the Sanctuary, but you can be the won't be staying there once he wakes up.))

Ok I dedicate this page to Derek somehow magically growing a heart, becoming aware of the pain that his fans are going to be suffering from once they finish book 9, and then fixing everything.

I also dedicate this page to The Beatles because they are fantastic and literally the best thing ever in the history of everness...


I also dedicate to the snow storm that's supposed to happen tonight and will (hopefully) cancel school tomorrow without any power outages...


yeaup

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew flicks his wrist and the shadows knock the knife away before wrapping around her wrists and pulling them tightly together. He then walks calmly towards her, showing her his free hand with shadows on the palms before placing the hand on her bump*

Drew: What did I just say? Didn't I say, don't do anything rash?

Don't think that I won't hesitate to do what I have to do to achieve my goal.

Noelle said...

-lovely, Aretha-

*Priya glares at the room where Silente is, remembering the warning that she had given Adra* *Shakes her head*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Right....well once he gets up may he see Aro?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

What's that noise! Priya I understand you don't want to hurt you want to heal. Well I want to protect! Let me out! I'll even let you heal me even though you know I hate being healed! Please Priya just open the portal and let me out cause I can't borough through that wall in time!

Noelle said...

*Adra twists away from Drew* Back off Drew- what the hell is wrong with you?

Don't think that I won't do anything either..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Fine then I'll do it myself! *Starts clawing at the wall with all her fury, tearing off large chunks of stone*

Noelle said...

*Adra, taking initiative, twists her foot slightly and weakens the wall, thinning it so that it is to a point where Silente can break through*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((You'll have to text me or something so I know to tell him, but definitely.))

*if the door is un breakable, breaks a window and gets in that way* *is determined to get into this house*

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Lets just say I've seen the light... or darkness. Whatever way you want to look at it.

*He tightens his shadows around her wrists and clicks his fingers. They are covered in shadows and taken out of the lab and into the cave where he has been.*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Em i repost

Alexis: you'll protect me. I have faith in you. Have faith in yourself

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

One with the walls

Looking for words
None are at home

The world is faster
For the rest of you
I'm left in the dust
Reaching for ideas
Something to say
Someone I can be

I just want to be ok
In this safe haven

Only two more steps
Two steps and pine
Unbroken by heart
Unshattered by steel
I can't open the door
I don't have the key

I am one with the walls
Unseen, unheard, unhurt
I am the empty space
Between each word
I am the crystal glass
That isn't there to fill
Or shatter
But that leaves me no one

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*claws at the wall, breaking free with a roar and erupting next to drew* *pounces at drew knocking him over* leave her alone!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Sure Ari Zaffy shall

*sighs* *texts Ari* When you hear from Nic tell him my son Aro would like to talk to him.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Stumbles away from drew and Adra confused at the new surroundings* what the?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*texts back* Will do

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Oh my gosh Aretha you have a phone omg I need your number

-
*The moment she gathers her bearings, Adra runs inward, and swings a foot around, stomping on Drew's knee, trying to wiggle her wrists free*

(Also Aretha, you got it the first time, you can come in- Adra would have dropped the ward*

Noelle said...

Hey Fabu! *hugs*

Oh THAT kind of phone

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Omg add Ari to that greeting...

Emerald Melody said...

(Sorry Zaf!)

*Drew growls as he looks at Silente and then at Adra.*

Drew: Send your vampire away!! Do it now!!!

-

Lorcan: I guess so. Any news on my mam? I know dad was worried.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Oh, ok, sweet. I just figured I'd keep throwing eventualities in there until I got the ok to enter.))

*bursts into the kitchen* *blood smeared all over her face and arms, and soaking her clothes in a few places* Drew! What the heck do you want with her?!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Growls* Dammit, Drew. You're above this- it must be that shadow magic

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(She has an iPhone i dont have her irl number omg i'd be happy if i did

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I am not here vampire and I am not leaving. I don't care that we are in a cave surrounded by rock on all sides but one side where there is sea. I'm not going to let you hurt adra OR her baby

*pounces forward at drew*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: No not that I heard. Mom saw her last night but I went to see Aro

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I'll just leave a general note here that the best way to contact me is actually by email. Just, you know, for reference.))

#ChaseForbook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*looks at Silente* *mentally files her away as a friend* *turns concentration back to Drew*

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: You never mind what it must be, right here and now is what should matter. And if you keep misbehaving, Trip might have an unfortunate shadow visit when he's asleep.

*Drew then sighs as Silente pounces and he twists his free hand, the shadows come hurling out and wrap themselves around Silente, making her immobile as she falls to the ground in a thud. The shadows tighten.*

Drew: I will kill her Adra.
-

Lorcan: How's Aro doing?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*lays on back looking up*
I'd rather die at her side than let her go with you

Noelle said...

*She looks at Silente, carefully raising her hands in surrender* Jesus, Drew, let the poor girl be.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: *sits alone in a room writing and stuff, schoolwork*

Olivia: Can I help Aro?

Aro: I doubt. But you can watch.

Olivia: I can write my name! And spell it!

Aro: how do you spell your name then?

Olivia: O-l-i-v-i-a *looks proud*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No Adra! You can't do this! *Struggles against the pain and the shadows*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*draws a knife for her pocket that emanates a feint purple light the moment she touches it* *looks coldly at Drew* This knife will cut straight through your shadows, Drew. It will burn everything it touches. And I had it lined with silver. Release them both unless you want it in your chest.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: ah he was released. He's home now babysitting Olivia and Christopher. He wants to get to know them, and Liv is excited. She tells him about school

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew sighs as he unfurls the shadows around Silente.*

Drew: Get out of here now!! No harm will come to Adra.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*coughs and stands up* why don't I believe you? No I'm not going. You'd have to kill me first, not to mention I can't cause of the sea water. You take her, you take me!

Noelle said...

Silente, you aren't a lot of help to me dead.

*Glances carefully at Aretha*

Noelle said...

Silente, please- he'll kill you in an instant. He doesn't care about martyrs, or self-sacrifices. Never has.

*Glances over at him*

He's my brother, anyway. Not by blood..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Adra I'm not a lot of help either way. But just cause I'm not magic doesn't mean I can't protect you. *moves to stand in front of Adra* *glares at drew*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Brother or no brother he wants to take yo away.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*smiles at Silente's comment about magic* But we don't want you to die.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Silente, if you aren't good at magic, you won't be much help. Please, I was a street fighter, and have fought for more than four hundred years.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I'm already dead remember.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*shrugs* Fair point. But still. *keeps her concentration on Drew*

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Only a coward would leave a pregnant lady alone in a fight. I'm no coward.

Noelle said...

*Sighs* Silente, you can still die.

If you can't do magic, you can't exactly be that much of a help, and you'll only be dead

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew suddenly grabs his head, his shadows hissing. He harshly lets go of Adra and moves away from her. His shadows were hissing and squealing as he gritted his teeth and took a sharp breath.*

Drew: Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up...

-

Lorcan: That's good at least. I just hope that Drew doesn't try again. But I need to get my silver under control if he does.

Noelle said...

Oh for God's sake, Silente. I'm a better fighter than you.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Rather died than a coward. *turns to Adra and smiles* and you can't send me away.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*eyes widen* Adra, run. Get out. Right now. You have a daughter to protect. Silente and I can take care of this.

#ChaseforBook9

Noelle said...

I wouldn't bet on it, Silente... I easily could.

*She does a short turn around the cave*

I don't know where I am, so that's a bit of a problem. You being covered in blood isn't reassuring either

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah Area go! I don't care about death, to me it'll just be peace. No one will cry for me. But they will to you go! *gently shoves Adra * *turns back to drew*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: I hope he doesn't. We do not need a repeat. I just want him one to be honest

Duck said...

HELLOOOOO BLOGLAND!!!!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*smiles warily* It's not mine. I'm right as rain. Well then just run somewhere. Get away from here, too far for him to reach you. Hide, or something.

*keeps focus trained on Drew* *takes a few quiet steps closer to him, moving like a cat*

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Adra listen to me. Either way I'm dead the sea water to our right is just gonna get higher and higher. So go. Let me be a hero instead of a monster. *turns and charges at drew*

Noelle said...

*She looks at the both of them* Let is be known that I don't approve of this...
*She turns and runs, searching for an exit*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew spins around when he hears footsteps. He looks at Adra with a frantic look for only a second before he disappears into the shadows. He went to travel through the shadows but a shooting pain shot through him and he collapsed onto the cave floor in pain.
What was happening to him?*

-

Lorcan: Hey you want to see something?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*sighs with relief as Adra leaves*

Don't die for your convictions, Silente. Let him die for his. *moves closer, but hangs back a bit to see how Drew will react*

#ChaseForBook9

Duck said...

I see, you are all role playing.
I probably won't be here for long anyway, because a teacher is goodng to come in here at any moment and bust me for not studying...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hi Duck! Wow, so sorry I didn't greet you sooner- I didn't see your comment! *hugs* How are you?))

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Okay... I think I'm actually here now. [hugs]

[hums Nothing is Good Enough by Aimee Mann]

[wishes I still had that song on my iPod]

[meh]

Noelle said...

*She looks over her shoulder, and ducks into a room*
*Hides behind a dresser*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Hey Moss! *hugs*))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Duck! I'm sorry! I'm multitasking. Hello!

Noelle said...

Hey Fabu!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Drew stay down god damn it Aretha I might turn into a monster who doesn't know the difference between friend and foe so just go help Adra *pounces on top of drew, ripping of human skin*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: Sure. Show me.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*wakes suddently* *still bleeding, but at least the wounds are now manageable* *teleports out of the Sanctuary* *a few minutes later, appears by Aro in presentable, not-bloodstained clothes* You wished to speak with me?

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Nah, that's ok- I'll just pitch in if I need to. And if you go vampire on me, I'll just leave- I know someone who can teleport. *stays close but still a safe distance away, observing carefully, maintaining a fighting stance*

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew throws off Silente and disappears into the shadows again. He is breathing in deeply. He then follows the shadows as best he could. He then appears in front of Adra and lets her see that something is wrong with him, without him knowing he did.*

Drew: You have to stop fucking around with me now Adra and just come with me. I'm getting tired.

Noelle said...

*She jumps, then backs against the wall, jumps and kicks the dresser towards him, doing her best to keep a distance* Back off, Drew..

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*growls* *sprints in Adra's direction to catch up quickly*

#ChaseForbook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Hi Ari [hugs]))

((Hello Adra [hugs]))

((Hi Duck, Em, Zaf, Tempest [hugs] ))

((Um, I'm in a really bizarre mood for a lot of reasons, so if I say something that offends any of you, I'm sorry, and I'm sure I don't mean it that way))

((Also...my presence here will be lessened over the next couple of days. And I might not ever go back to as regular as I used to be. I'll still be here sometimes, though.))

(([Realizes that you probably don't care about all the details of my schedule] Sorry.))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks around snarling* *lays eyes on Aretha * *snarls hungrily* *starts bounding towards Aretha*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Of course we care, Moss. *hugs* We'll miss you. Are you alright?))

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: *jumps* Ah...Hi Niccolò I did. *glances at Olivia* Liv, I'll get you in a few and you can tell Niccolò your new skill, ok?

Olivia: *giggles waving to Coco and goes to own room*

Aro: Thank you for coming. I wanted to talk to you...if you don't mind? I'm uneasy and something just happned to me and....I need help.

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew blocks the door and holds it tight with his shadows. He sits for a moment, regaining his breath.*

Duck said...

Hello, hello.

I'm swell, and actually quite distant at the moment.

Noelle said...

It's okay, Fabi. *Hugs* we understand- life can get tedious sometimes, and we get it. Hopefully everything is okay, though. *Cuddles*

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan stands up and closes his eyes for minutes. He starts to let his silver cover his whole body from head to toe. The only part of him that wasn't silver was his clothes.*

Lorcan: What do you think? lol

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*realizes there's a vampire chasing her* *stops running towards Adra and sprints the other way, looking for an exit*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Okay, Duck :/ quack.

-
*She thinks quickly*
*The floor is wooden, and so are the walls- nothing rock for her to control*
*Something sharp*
*Glances at a lamp a few feet away*
*Carefully makes her way towards it*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Bounds after Aretha, unaware of the salt water ahead.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*takes a long, deep breath* *splits into two, one of which vanishes* Of course. What is troubling you?

*the other of him appears between Silente and Aretha*

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((I'm as okay as any of you, but thanks. [hugs] ))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*exactly as Niccolò appears in front of her, crumples to the ground, unconscious*

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Opens eyes wider at the prospect of two prey and runs faster

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((That's good to hear, Duck. :) ))

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew looks at her as he flicks his hand. The lamp flies behind him and smashes into tiny pieces against the wall.*

Drew: I said to stop fucking around.

*His shadows were hissing violently at this point*

Noelle said...

Okay- *She holds up her hands* Okay, Drew. Calm... Calm- take deep breaths, I won't try to hurt you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: Zafira, the crazy one. She's been attacking me and I can't find her! I am terrified! She blinded me in one eye and tried to kill me! I want to get her.



Alexis: Oh my god!!!! So cool Lorcan


(Zaffy- no school do you have school Ari? I know the nor'easter is going your way

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*Silente runs into a hard wall of air* Please, Miss Tempest, attempt to control yourself. I believe you would be rather horrified to have killed a friend in a fit of madness.

#ChaseForBook9

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Leaps at Aretha just before she falls. Leaps into empty space. Falls down the cliff edge to the salt water below. (Gtg now guys hence the not so heroic death. Cya! Save me if you can!)

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: You won't try to do anything other then help me.

If you help me, I'll get rid of Crimson for you.

-

*Lorcan laughs*

Lorcan: I know right! Lol this is just incredible.

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((If it is alright with you, Silente, I believe myself quite capable of saving your life given the current situation. Farewell.))

*sighs* What exactly would you like my help with?

((Hello, Trip.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Goodbye, Silente!
Hello, Trip!

-
*She frowns* Don't kill her, Drew. She hasn't done anything wrong.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: I agree.

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: I wasn't gonna kill her!!! Goddammit!!!!!!

*He holds his head again*

Just come with me please...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: Finding her and stopping her...please. I'm in no condition to fight alone. And Mom isn't a good fighter she'd be dead.




Alexis: I just love this. Its so pretty...but cool!

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*leaves Aretha leaning against the stone wall* *strolls in Adra's direction, watching the names inside of it to monitor the situation*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*She glances at Drew*
*Straightens her jacket* You aren't going to harm any of my friends, and you aren't going to harm my child. Then I will.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((If anyone wants to roleplay, Effie, Aevil, Raeza, Rook and maybe Fabi are available.))

((It looks like you're all really busy, though, so I might just go off and distantly write...))

((But I need something fictional to absorb myself in for a little while.))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Zafira, do you still wish for the other dimension's Zafira to remain alive? If I attempt to hunt her down, it is quite likely that I will ultimately kill her...))

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew stands and puts his hand on her shoulder. They disappear from the lab and arrive back in the cave. He points Adra towards the cage that's at the back of the cave.*

Drew: Please, go in there. It's just a precaution.

-

Lorcan: I still don't know if this is my strongest or what the hell can happen more!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(You can try to find her I admit she'll probably be hard to find so you can attempt to hunt her down. Though if you want an effect you can go to her husband.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: If you shoot silver from your eyes you offcially are jepic. And Olivia will love it.

Noelle said...

*Her eyes narrow*
Tell me, Drew.

Do I look like an idiot to you?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: Mr. O'Connor, why are you locking Adrasdos in a cage? In /my/ cave.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

((Mm kay.))

((Sorry!))

((Bye!))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Zafira, with all due respect, I have dedicated my life to hunting individuals for over 500 years. If I agree to this, I imagine I will find her, and I have promised to kill her. I could avoid the agreement, although I see no other way to guarantee her safety.

Thank you for the offer, Moss. Unfortunately, I cannot be in more places at once than I already am, but if any of my current situations should resolve themselves in a timely manner I will roleplay with you.))

#ChaseForBook9

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan laughs*

Lorcan: Jaysus, I'm not an X-Man lol

-

*Drew rolls his eyes before he grabs her throat and pushes her against the wall. A blank look on his face.*

Drew: Tell me Adra, does Trip usually have pleasant dreams??

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*changes direction and strolls deeper into the cave*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(If you kill her, shunt her to Mevolent. Ok? I'll do hat I need from there.



Alexis: Or are you? *laughs husterically*

Noelle said...

Goodbye, Fabi *hugs tightly*

*Her eyes narrow, and she angles her head slightly, allowing more air through her windpipe* Drew, what's this about...

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*teleports the last length of cave to reach Drew, Crimson and Adra* Hello, Drew. You are significantly outnumbered. It is in your best interest to release Adra.

#ChaseForbook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: SINCE WHEN DID MY CAVE BECOME A STAGING GROUND FOR PROPLE'S PERSONAL CONFRONTATIONS?

#ChaseForBook9

*Adra glances briefly at Crimson, then Niccolo, then to Drew again, gauging his reaction*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Lorcan: I know I'm not an X-Man lol

Noelle said...

I'm glad that your chicken is safe, and that nothing else was harmed, Mara. And- yeah, it is pretty late :/ *hugs if you decide to go*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: NO! THIS IS MY HOME, SO YOU SHUT UP! EVERYONE GO TO A DIFFERENT CORNER OF THIS CAVE, AND SOT THE HELL DOWN!

*Adra presses herself as far away from Drew as she can* *Her hand is holding a syringe in her pocket*

Drew, calm down. Now.

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Emerald could change the way of the wolf for generations to come. But she won't if she's with a Guardian!!!

You have to understand why this has to happen!!

Please.

*that desperate, confused and frantic look returns to Drew's face. His shadows hissing more viciously towards everyone around him.*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: still you're epic Lorcan. Though silver from eyes...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: DREW! Shut up, and sit down. We will talk this over, but right now, put the shadows away and go to a corner.

There are modern technologies that would allow her to pass on her genes without necessitating any sort of interaction with you. Has that not occured to you?

Noelle said...

*Adra, in his confusion, begins to carefully pry his hand from her throat, taking in as much air as she can*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Sir, please, corner, now.

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: I just... I...

*Drew crumbles to the floor. The shadows are curling around him, almost protecting him. Drew's eyes are rolling into the back of his skull.*

-

Lorcan: You're pretty epic too babe

*He kisses her, forgetting that he was in his silver form*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Nic...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *kisses him back completely forgetting as well*

Noelle said...

*She takes the opportunity to hop backwards, rubbing at her neck, and at her bruised and cut wrists*
*Glances down at Drew*

...
Bind him, then?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: Drew? *moves over to him, cautiously moving over to him*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*She glances at him, dodging the shadows that are swirling around his form*

I gotta say, this won't end well.

Emerald Melody said...

*The shadows snap at anyone that try to get close. Drew's breathing becomes ragged. He starts to come back into consciousness slowly. What was happening to him?*

Noelle said...

*Adra does a short little turn*
Right.
*Whips out some chalk, and begins to draw a symbol on the cavern wall, and taps it*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: Drew? Drew! It's the shadows! They're taking over! I was trying to tell you! Mr. O'Connor?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*She pauses*
*Glances at Crimson*
Hang on a minute...
How the hell do you two even know each other?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: THAT, is what you're worried about right now?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yeah, a little bit! How do I know what side you're on here!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: Mine! His! Yours!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

That isn't exactly a side, that's more of three.

For the record, this will have been the second time he's come after me, so saying "his" isn't very helpful

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Crimson: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*She gives a dry look to the other woman, then turns, looking for something to bind Drew with*
*Instead, unsteadily gets to the floor, beginning to draw a symbol that can bind him, find it difficult to move about, but manages*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Gtg dinner.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Alright! *waves*
-

*She finishes meticulously drawing, and reaches over, doing her best to drag Drew into the circle, which will bind him, and hold him still*
*Breathes out*
*Drew's huge*
*Maybe she's just small*
*She moves away from the crowd, further back inside the cave, and lets her legs slide out from under her as she leans against the wall*
*She sends a quick text to Trip- "Are you alright?" then puts her phone to the side, looking at her wrists, which have already darkened, and rubs at the dried blood*
*This is all giving her a headache*

Noelle said...

I'm still here, by the way. Homework.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

As am i

Not everyone sees the world the same way you do.

Just because something or someone doesn't fit into your version of reality doesn't mean they're wrong, doesn't mean they shouldn't exist, doesn't mean you have a right to change them.

I'm sorry the world isn't as perfect as you'd like to make it, not as uniform, not as "right."

That doesn't mean I'm a horrible person.

Yeah, there are plenty of things wrong with me, but what makes you think you can be the one to change them?

You're no doctor, you don't know me, and yet you continually use hateful words to stress the kind of person you think I ought to be.

I have heard your opinion, and I respect your right to have one, much as it pains me.

Good day.

((I'm sorry, I needed to rant.))

Noelle said...

*From where she's sitting, Adra rubs her belly a little bit, in an attempt to relax her strained muscles from the past few hours of stress and excitement*
*She yawns slightly- growing a human is exhausting*
*Ends up reclining slightly, lying on the floor, not really minding the firmness of the rock, more happy to be unwinding*

Noelle said...

I need to save that for a later date... I have a feeling that that could come in handy one day.
*hugs*
You are absolutely right, of course.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Nods]

[hugs]

Noelle said...

:) *cuddles*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

My English teacher said nice things about me

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Msd, sorry...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Congratulations, Zaf.

Noelle said...

Well, that is certainly a good sign, Zaf.

Okay, Fabi. *hugs*

Noelle said...

*Adra blearily rubs at her eyes*
*She reminds herself to go back and check on Aretha, who hadn't appeared for some reason- one she knows isn't safe- one that she knows Aretha is neglecting to tell her*
*Pushes herself to her feet and stumbles back the way that she may have came, looking for her friend, stumbling whichever way*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I find that awesome she did

Omg at States we legit are on our own curfewin rooms by 10:30 and thats it O.O

Noelle said...

I'm sure you'll be tired enough to need the sleep..

Anonymous said...

Well. Now I'm scared. And trying desperately to prepare for the gut wrenching sadness, fully knowing that I am not capable of doing so.

Noelle said...

*She pulls her collar tightly around her and finds the part that they were at earlier, and does a quick 360*
*Blinks*
*Her shoulders slump* Good grief.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yeah but y'know i mean it'll be long but worth it

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Gtg

[hugs]

Noelle said...

Bye Fabu! *hugs* *bites her shoulder gently*

-

*Adra stops in the center of the room, her tummy growling hungrily* *Pats her belly* Hush, sweetie. I'm looking.
*Adra begins to crawl over a number of crates, sniffing for food*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

So I have off tomorrow then guarentee Friday but go in Monday i lost a day and gained 2

Noelle said...

How are you getting these days off? Geez...

I have a naturally long weekend. :) Three days. Hollah.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Snow we're getting a Nor'Easter

Noelle said...

So I recall...

Ah

That would make sense.
I was supposed to leave for Colorado tomorrow (well, actually just my brothers were), but there are cancellations everywhere, and my dad can't even get out of North Carolina, so the entire trip is cancelled.

Noelle said...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I would like to dedicate to getting homework done.

Because that's all I need to happen.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((I'm probably not really here, but I may or may not come back soon. In any case, Adra, if you'd like to find my unconscious form carefully leaned against the wall of the cave, you're welcome to.))

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I be here for a while Ari)


Yeah I think its the entire east coast practically. The one university cancelled classes the rest of the week

Noelle said...

Ah- thank you for that. *nods* Until next time I see you here, then. *hugs*
-
Well, yes... I remember them from when I was little. The water on the river would go out 100 yards...
-

*Adra peeks over a crate and sighs* Finally!
*She is careful to climb down, and carefully makes a portal, gingerly half carrying Aretha through the portal and hoisting her up onto one of the beds in one of her guest bedrooms*
*Nods, and slips back through, shutting the portal*
*Begins to make her way up and over the crates again, back in the direction of the others*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its actually pretty bad 12-18" of snow blizzard conditions and blergh

Noelle said...

*Once she gets back, she notices the absence from the others, and shrugs, making a portal, heading out towards the bar, making sure to button her collar up over her bruised neck and draw her sleeves down over her wrists, which are the same, and red*
*She'll clean it up soon enough*
*Walks through*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I'm here Adra I'm just kinda like zoning out

NOM Ominous said...

And all I can say, dear Derek...
is HAOLY SHIT.
