gibber.
Work is progressing. December and most of January was taken up with short stories. I still have to edit them. I'll have to do that soon, over the next few days... But I'm also back on the book. Writing away. Skipping chunks and writing important bits. I'm on the final confrontation now, making sure everything fits together. Even though there is a lot more writing to do, loads of gaps to fill in and storylines to link up, I am TECHNICALLY writing the end of the book at the moment. Will I finally get to find out how it ends? Or will I leave that blank also, to be finished off when everything else is complete?
I don't know. I really don't.
I have, maybe, another month of writing ahead of me before the first draft is done. Every morning I wake up, lie in bed for an hour (yes, it is good to be a writer) and think about the sequence I need to write that day. Then I'm up and writing. There is very little time to think about other things, such as writing blogs or tweeting, and I know you understand that, but I do want to thank you all for your patience. I don't like being silent for this long — but soon, I won't have to be.
Soon.

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4915 Newer› Newest»I'm not entirely sure. Not much of a conversationalist and it's difficult to ropleplay with just two people who have just met so......... Yeah I don't know
...well...uh...this is awkward...
Indeed, allow me to formerly introduce myself then. I'm Korupted, necromancer, sarcastic jokester, and frequent fighter. *bows*
Shouldn't I have known? I should. Typical. It aleays happens dont worry people whine and complain and they'll come back
@Zafira: hopefully...
@Korupted: Okay. So I'm Amethyst Temerity...um...I'm an elemental and stuff...I have nothing much to say and now I'm bored
And I am Zaffy!!
Terribly sorry for being boring it's one of my less attractive traits, and Zaf if you're referring to Chione, she's not coming back.
she's not talking about Chione...i think it's Mara she's talking about
and not your boring...or maybe you are...I don't know you enough to say that though
Yeah Mara lol not Chione I know she went to bed its okay!
*hangs from tree* I could let you guys meet Christopher, my infant son.
okay!
Well I'm sure the three of us fabulous people can find something to amuse us! Any ideas? Anyone? Please I've got nothing.
Oh, I suppose I should refresh the page more often .___.
What time is it where you people are?
Slightly after 7:00 PM, and you?
7:04pm its March 6th
Zaf we appear to live in the same timezone :o
East coast Ameriminion heck yeah!!
...WHY AM I ALWAYS SO EARLY!!!
it's 4:10...
pm
...why is everyone on the east coast? no west coasters around? or very few I'm assuming?
Well at least we all appear to be in the same country, Ameriminions for the win \(-_-)/
Yay Ameriminions!
Fabi is west coast. Uh....I know Ivy is too.
Ari is east coast. The next group to usually come on is Aussies and New Zealanders.
haha. rotation schedule :)
We rule! *grins* I'm Grand Mage of America!
*Hugs Mara*
Hello Adra!
Only other person I really know here is Chione, and she's from Scotland.
Yes!! Its like when the weekends come you usually can talk to the ones down under. See what usually happens is around 5-7pm the ones over in Europe fall asleep. But you get some like Trip or Em who may be up later but by about 7-8 its mostly Ameriminions ad we dominate. Some down unders may filter in but by like 10-11 they come and while east coasters sleep the west coasters can talk to the down unders then the UK wake and it goes silent til like 10-11am lol school weeks
You seem to have this down to a science ._.
Hello, Amethyst.
...do you guys think Derek Landy will ever come over to the US?
Regardless I'll be leaving now, you three have fun and don't go starting any fights without me!
Adra's east coast too.
Mara and Em are Irish
Star Trip I think Silente Dragona are English
Mith is German
Ember- i think Singapore? It changes.
Snow Death are down under
Im missing people but oh well
I mainly came here again to gave whoever might be here this video. I was deeply moved by it, and by the end of it was almost moved to tears.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBQ-IoHfimQ
So, if you have the time, I would suggest watching it.
Now, I need to go, but leave on one final note. Three days until my birthday! :)
I need to go, now.
Bye
ok. Bye Korupted!
Happy early B-day Adra! See ya!
Bye Kor!
Amethyst: maybe. It depends how his next series goes, for the US he is using a different publisher so he may come over and visit. He told my friends and I over Skype.
fuck you zaf.
you don't know my life story.
i don't want to come back.
you keep talking shit about me and adra and i always have to comment to defend myself, because we haven't done shit.
if everyone disappeared but you, you'd be pissed. if nobody disappeared, you'd be pissed. make up your fucking mind and stop treating everyone like absolute s h i t just because you can and will do whatever it takes to ruin someone's day!
you're basically the reason i'm leaving. and now you're going to say "oh i guess everyone hates me now i'm going to leave i hate everything life is so hard"
well guess what?
being best friends with someone who is suicidal and could end their life at any moment, being pissed off because of you, getting six hours of homework every night and juggling depression and anxiety is hard.
so stop fucking treating everyone like they're lower than you and get a life!
sorry everyone but that needed to be said. i've been meaning to say it for some time now, and i'll probably delete it later. i'm sick of being treated like this and i need to stand up for myself.
and btw i'm only on here bc for some reason whenever someone comments on this post i get an email about it so i came to turn the thing off.
what I'm worried about is that when he comes over, he'll go to a city or state where I won't be able to go to and then I'll miss his once-in-a-lifetime visit... *sigh*
-Mara, I'm sending you an email that you might be of interest to you-
Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other time of day, Blogland,
and btw zaf, i am deeply sorry if that hurts you. not even being sarcastic. but i needed to say it.
Woah woah woah you need to go get a reality check Mara ok? Its YOU and ADRA who think I'm such a horrible person. Have anyone else said it? No. Get. A. Reality. Check. Do NOT lie. Do NOT act like I'm a horrible person, you didn't defend yourself you made yourself look like you're a queen
And for your information my practical SISTER is suicidal so you know I do know and don't you dare acuse me of shit I didn't say. Now kindly stop this nonsense, you're not better then my friend L. No. Better.
-Hello Sir, I'm sorry that it's suddenly a bad time. I'm leaving now anyway.
So, bye Sir? *hugs*
...Hello Sir
Greetings and good bye, Ms. Dark,
Greetings, Ms. Kerias, Ms. Temerity, and possibly Ms. Charm, if she wishes to stay.
And I needed to get that off my chest. That was very very censored.
Amethyst- Well i live right by NYC so i can go there. And I did talk to him on Skype before, not trying to brag.
I went to NY last summer! :D
I'm going over again this summer I live in PA though. I'm gonna see Les Miserables on Broadway! And in December I saw the Rockette's
that's cool :)
I'm so excited its my first Broadway play
yes zaf. yes they have. a few times.
and i'm not a queen. i'm a fucking low life. everyone currently hates me. i never said i was a queen. but you act like one quite a lot :)
and you did say that.
you say stuff like that all the time.
and zaf, i'm suicidal. my best friend is. seven of my online friends are. never said you didn't understand what it felt like. just said that when you say that someone insulted you when they didn't it's not hard at all. i get insulted daily. i understand what it feels like to be nothing to someone. everyone.
and i know i'm not better. whoever this L is. i'm sure s/he's a lovely person.
As of now its just you two. Nobody else has a problem with me
want to bet?
i have emails.
That I have been aware of
*sigh*
Ms. Charm, Ms. Kerias, could you both please take your argument somewhere else?
Sup, Sir.

You should sleep I should stop distracting you sorry
Sorry, Sir, there was a bit of exclusive fingerling there, but I shall converse with you appropriately now.
How are you this morning/day/evening/night?
Sorry was playing with gerbils I back
Standard, Ms. Braginski. There is no need to apologize for your passions.
Welcome back, Ms. Kerias.
Sir you know I was thinking of sharks and remembered you
Really, Ms. Kerias? Why were you thinking about sharks?
Just in my one class we were talking about man eating animals
Ah. Well, I suppose I should feel rather complimented by that, even if it does mean that you associate me with eating human beings.
Sir, I fear I know very little about you.
And I fear that I am also curious, as I generally am when I speak with you.
Perhaps you could divulge some basic information about yourself?
Perhaps a favourite colour, or a country you would lie to visit one day?
Well I assume you prefer to not eat humans. You said we were too salty or something.
*like
Well, Ms. Kerias, the taste of humans has been described as ranging from veal to pork, but in general, most agree that compared to other meats the taste is rather weak.
Ms. Braginski, curiosity is entirely acceptable. But before you ask any more questions, please remember that I am a fictional character.
I suppose that my favorite color is greenish-purple, and that I would enjoy visiting Germany, so that my author and I could polish our German.
Please don't take a chunk of my arm, Sir. *laughs* thats sounds insane
I understand completely that you are a fictional character, Sir, but I do ultimately consider you a friend of mine, and surely your creator would be somewhat swayed by their personal opinion of myself when we interact, so I believe it stands to reason that I wish to get to know you better.
Germany does sound like a lovely place to visit, but keep in mind that Switzerland and Austria are also lovely German speaking countries.
I would never do that, Ms. Kerias.
Arm meat is far too stringy.
Ms. Braginski, I certainly would not mind getting to know you better, but I simply felt it prudent to warn you that my author would rather have their own details left out of the picture.
In any case, while I do understand that, my author and I were taught a dialect of German that really is only applicable in the main northern portion of Germany.
Good. Olivia has been watching from the treehouse, I think she's stunned a shark can talk.
Ah, I understand completely. That is no problem whatsoever.
I see. That does make a lot of sense. Are there any other countries you would like to visit?
Oh, I know a good question! If you could revisit any time period for research or personal reasons, when and where would you go?
Well, stranger things have happened, Ms. Kerias.
Certainly, Ms. Braginski. In one way or another, I would like to visit every single country. However, that is hardly likely to happen.
I suppose I would visit Göbekli Tepe, simply because it is such a fascinating place. Seeing it be built would be absolutely enthralling.
Have you met my youngest son, Christopher? I want to let Nic meet him too
Indeed I have, Ms. Kerias. I doubt that Mr. Croatoan is ignorant of young Christopher's existence.
I still want to hokd him so *gets the baby and holds Christopher who is fast asleep*
Well, he is your son, I suppose.
Indeed. And he is so cute! His first word was 'Momma'. *looks so excited* Can you ever have children?
...
That is a rather personal question, Ms. Kerias.
Well like you're a shark...but sometimes man... I'm sorry.
Do not worry about it, Ms. Kerias.
Alright. Thank you. Can you form into other animals?
...
No, Ms. Kerias. I am what you expect me to be. Or whatever is convenient at the time.
Oh. So basically anything? Thats neat
Hardly. It is mostly because my author is rather lazy. Mostly it entails my opening doors or doing things that would normally require hands, when really all I have right now are flippers.
Oh. *pokes Sir's author* Let him turn to a kitty!
...
I quite doubt that you could make my author do anything. They are extremely lazy.
I JUST GOT MY FRIEND ADDICTED TO CHAMELEON CIRCUIT!!
I wouldn't insult your author, he may not let you out.
Hai Snowy
Greetings, Ms. Stormberg.
Honestly, they would hardly register it if you insulted them. They mostly act on auto-pilot when here.
Wow. Thats kinda neat. Usually I go into the mind set of the character I let out. When I am Hyde or Jekyll I think of things they would, see the world through different eyes.
SITTING IN THE SCHOOL LIBARY GOOGLING WHOLOCK AND LISTENING TO CHAMELEON CIRCUIT
could life get better??
*poofs*
Understandable, though my author decides to keep their self and my own self separate.
So you're two people in theory? Like Nic and Ari
In theory, I suppose. To be honest, I have little to no actual idea of what the actual relationship between myself and my author is. I suspect that they have no idea, as well.
That's just different, hey we're all special in our own ways.
Indeed.
I'm listening to a song and the one verse is so....well line but still omg
If you insist, Ms. Kerias.
It raises a valid point actually. I am gonna explain
Please, do so, Ms. Kerias.
"So why care for these petty obsessions? Your designer heart still beats with common blood. And what if you could have genetic perfection? Would change who you, if you could?"
Its set in the not too distant future where surgery is the in thing. Like in the opening number Graverobber sings that line and it makes you wonder, will we live where we can change? Like Amber Sweet changes so much in her face. But these people, if you want a new kidney they can get one. Then you have basically legal killers called Repo Men. If you don't pay on your organs you get it ripped from you.
"And you can finnance your kidneys." Like legit. So is it possible being we have decoded our DNA that this can happen? Can we as humans actually be able to change who we are? Like they gave Blind Mag eyes, she can see the eyes do more then see. They show her memories. But can we really do these things in the future? I mean...its scary. We could engineer our kids to be perfect. Scary, but amazing.
Another line I love ok a few
"Let your life be your dream. Integrity, honesty. It's too late for me, don't look back til you're free to chase the morning."-Mag
"Now go and change the world for me."-Nathan
"I'm the repo legal assassin!"-Nathan
"Marni I need you now. Look what I've become. The nightmare she should fear, the father you left alone." -Nathan
Now look at Repo! and The Hunger Games. Future of America.
THG: New goverment, people slaves to the elite. The slaves are abused practically. It all was from war.
Repo!: Organ failures made organs needed to perfect our image and they make it so we have legal assassins and it was APPROVED by Congress in this movie. Like I am behind on my kidney payment the Repo Men come and
"Best you punctual with making your payments, lest it be you on the concrete below."
"He will come at your weakest hour, when nobody's around to help you. He won't bother to phone or write to you, he'll just rip the still beating heart from your chest!"
*rescue not help
Night i need sleep
I care for you, Mara. I don't know whether or not you noticed, but I asked after you several times myself on the previous post. Not every day, but whenever it started to slow down enough for me to really say something. *shrugs* Anyway- I just wanted to say that I have missed having you around, and I know you won't believe me, but I genuinely think you're a wonderful person, in part because of, NOT except for, your fangirling. It's just part of who you are, it seems, and that's really not a bad thing. I have a friend in real life who's very much like you in that sense- every time I see her she's freaking out about either country music or hockey, mainly country music, and she's been one of my very closest friends since kindergarten. And her excited-ness about such a limited range of people really starts to annoy others sometimes, but I can honestly say that it's never bothered me. It's sort of been our unspoken agreement that I'll rant about philosophy and Tesla and she'll have no idea what I'm talking about, then she'll rant about Luke Bryan's new song and I'll have no idea what she's talking about, but when she fangirls, she's just so happy, and excited, and just teeming with positive energy, and I love it. I need it, even. Because I can relate to having friends who hate themselves just as much as a lot of other people here, and even though I'm lucky enough to say I really don't have many problems with my own, being the shoulder to cry on for numerous others gets really exhausting, and being around this one friend has never once not made me feel better.
It's like she's the sun, and when people have been standing in her proximity for a long time, some of them will start to complain and go back inside. But I'll stay out for hours because I love the radiant warmth and light just as much as I love words and snowflakes. Which is really, really a lot. Her enthusiasm just made me feel so heartened. And I've always gotten the same vibe from you. I loved it when you would come here and SCREECH IN ALL CAPITALS ABOUT INSTAGRAM AND LITTLE MIX AND 1D'S NEW CONCERT, because even though I don't follow either of those bands- I rarely follow any bands, actually- your excitement just flowed out, and I felt it. I'm going to borrow a quote from a movie I loved as a child; "Look at you! Glowing like a solar fire. You're something special. You're gonna rattle the stars, you are!" And you'll have to just trust that I'm not senselessly flattering you, or lying. Just make the voices in your head shut up for a minute and listen. You can disagree with me later, but right now- just for these few words- just listen. You don't have to believe, but let yourself hear it. You're not special in the way that people say straight A students at Princeton are special. You're special in the way that most people don't even notice until it's gone. Like the sun, or the stars, or even a favorite outfit that you've had for years and barely fits anymore, but you keep it anyway because it made you feel so happy. Maybe you couldn't even explain why. You're special in the way that makes ordinary people feel extraordinary, and you never even knew it, because you were so busy seeing the good in other people, you forgot to see the good in yourself. I just want you to know how amazing you really are- being perfect is being perfectly you, and you really are just that, Jane or Maralie Lily Charm or whatever you want to call yourself. Throwing the quote right back at you, because if it's not true for you, it's not true for anyone. And if it is true for you, you have to find the people who can see your light, and surround yourself with them. If people want to hide from the sun, and they will, know that it isn't because you're not bright. It's because, like Moss' favorite game, you were just too brilliant for the masses to understand. Tesla was the same way; people thought he was a madman because he suggested things that were "impossible". He revolutionized the world because he didn't care what other people thought was impossible. And I'm getting a little carried away now, I know- bear with me here. I'm not going to ask you to stay, because I think that would only hurt you more, and that's the last thing I want for you. I just wanted to tell you, before you do go- if this is the last thing I'll say to you, I want it to be that you are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, also, if the sun was gone, we would all die. I wanted to add that into my metaphor, but it looks like I got too carried away with the rest of it. My point was, people can say they hate the sun and spend all their time hiding from it in their homes, but if the sun ever actually left, we would all die. The planet would become uninhabitable. And I'm not suggesting that the world would stop if you left- because we'll all leave in many ways at many points in our lives, and the world won't stop for any of those leavings- but the world would change irreversibly, and so much warmth would be gone from it, and individual peoples' planets would become uninhabitable, too.
#ChaseForBook9
Hello?
Yeah never mind.
Hi...?
hello...?
Hey Snow.
hey fab :)
:) --->
Exactly, Snow. Exactly...
Can I just say this?
It's true that when people leave, they usually come back.
It's also true that they leave because they're hurt. And just because you can't be there inside their minds and don't understand doesn't mean that pain isn't real.
I love you and I wish you well.
*huggles fab* i love your firsts.
[hugs Snow]
Thank you.
Hopefully I can channel my emotions into a ded this time. Every time I've tried to write something really deep and meaningful lately, it's turned into a flute-y thing like the one I sent you and the ones I didn't send you.
Oh, if anyone wants to hear them, I can send them to you if you ask.
i need to get a first. i also need to start work on my video ded idea for when i get first...
Start the video ded early. They take forever. :-P
I used to try to finish it on the page I was deding, but that world maybe twice at the most.
XD yeah, imma start now, so wbd
S'alright. I'm working on a video ded as well.
:)
Mm.
Totally not distracted by painting dragon dungeons with bright happy colors. Or blood!
wohewoifewfouwefo
i need to get a song on my laptop but it doesnt have a cd compartment thing and asdfghjkl

Mm kay, well good luck.

I'm gone, sleep.
Sorry!

now i just need to add the music and it's done. it kinda sucks in some places, but meh.
and now i g2g. bye
MARA IF YOU SEE THIS THEN CHECK YOUR EMAIL.
#ChaseForBookNine
Uh, Mara? If you read this....
I don't really know you, but I've been reading this blog for a few years now. And if you look at the comments, you'll see that lots of people really, really, really want you to stay. You're amazing, Mara, and like Aretha said, we all need that fangirlyness (totally a word) and just pure happiness you have. :)
So please don't leave. Please? (not convincing at all, but whatever!)
And on a completely different subject...
Is anybody on?
Nobody?
If somebody IS on, and I just haven't seen their comment, I blame the computer. :P
*twirls away on a swivel chair*
*coz I'm hardcore*
Today at school, I proposed to my teacher, Ms Clark
Hi, Snow!
And uh.... There's not much you can say to that. :)
It was a dare. I always do my dares. XD. Always
Yay! Somebody's on!
And Snow- XD
Just as a random question, do I use too many exclamation marks? I think I do. But I like them. They basically make everything seem all sunshine-ey, and I like sunshine.
This is just weird...
I'll stop talking now. :)
You know what, you remind me of someone I knowmirl, shes on here too, just hardly ever... Stormagedon on here (might be spelt different, sorry Stormy!!)
Really? I think I've seen that name before just somewhere in the comments that are now lost in the mists of time...
Gah. Can't be bothered to look back/remember. :)
And I've gotta go now! Sorry I've been so distant. Byeee!
Hello? Anyone out there?
Herro? Msd
Hi Snow! *smiles*
Okay... It's rather quiet here at this time of the day, hm?
Or time of night, for us Aussies
Ooops...
I didn't know you come from Australia.
time of night, then. :D
So... What time of niht is it for you?
I know nothing about timezones...
What has four legs, is brown with green fluff and if it fell outvof a tree, would kill you?
Just past 10
Um... huh?
I have no idea...
A pool table.
I g2g, bye!!
Oh. OH! Okay... xD
Sleep well, then! Bye!
Hello everyone.
((Ha, didn't get called today))
Hello . . .
I need to speak to Ari and Zaf. *nods*
Don't let me forget. :)
(I mean, separately.)
(It's probably not important, but if I post this, I'm more likely to remember it . . .)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello.
You need to speak to Ari and Zaf.
THIS SONG HAS THE WORD CATHEDRAL IN IT
So today, in science, Sir was showing us these pictures of really old trees. And one was called Prometheus, and then we started discussing who he was, and we were like "Wasn't he a Greek god" and like "wasn't he mortal" and like "didn't he steal fire from the gods" and "wasn't he a Titan" and then I said that the Titans weren't mortal, and this other person said didn't the gods kill the Titans, and this old man who works in the room next to our classroom (whenever my science teacher says/does anything particularly smart he sticks his head out of the door and tells this old man what he just did. XD He's so modest) said that immortals couldn't be killed, and I said yeah they can, and he said of course they can't, that's what immortal means, and I was like no, immortals can be killed, and he was just like "I HAVE A PHD IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH ME" and walked off, and I spent the next twenty minutes or so arguing with myself. Like, we were meant to be working in silence, and I was just furiously whispering about it, and my friend was just collapsing over her desk laughing at me. XD
Anyway. You cannot kill someone when they are immortal. However, you can kill an immortal person - what you need to do is take their immortality away and then kill them. Like in Merlin, when you have immortal armies - you have to take the immortality away and then you can kill them. So it's possible to kill the Titans, even though they are immortal.
YEAH.
*nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Lantern: Thanks. :) :)
And - :) *hugs*
Whenever I say that I love a word nowadays, I go "And cathedral. I love the word cathedral."

I'm changing my display name back now, because it's hard to be serious when you have a display name like this . . .
I'm still hyper, btw. :P
I'm kind of wondering how long this will last.
(It's not really hyper. It's sort of happy and hyper and excitable and enthusiastic and loud and open-y all at the same time. It's rather nice, though, because positive emotions, so . . .)
#ChaseForBookNine
:-)
Cathedral
Cascade
Chiaroscuro
Okay then. :-P
Prometheus was a titan. His brother asked to help create animals for the gods new world as the gods took over the titans but Prometheus helped the gods so him and his brother stayed in Olympus.
His brother created creatures and infused them with powers, Prometheus went back to find a piece of clay in a dark corner, he asked his brother what it was
He said that it was a human being. We were just left in the corner and forgotten, no powers.
Prometheus came to love humans and helped them survive by giving them fire. The gods got annoyed and chained Prometheus to a mountain and every day, an eagle came to eat his insides (the eagle being Zeus's animal) and Prometheus lived being tortured every day until Zeus thought it was enough and told Hercules to kill the eagle.
Greek Mythology creation story.
I LOVE THE WORD CASCADE! :)

Hello, Annika.
Photo: *sets the bag down on the pavement beside him*
*presses the buzzer by the door*
Guard: . . . Hullo? Hullo, who's there?
Photo: Photo Q. Finish.
Guard: Ah, Mr. Finish!
Photo: Yes. I'm here to drop off wedding supplies.
Guard: I'm sorry, sir, you're not on the list.
Photo: I beg your pardon?
Guard: You're on probation, Mr. Finish We're not letting you into the building.
Photo: *frowns*
You're not letting me in?
Guard: Sorry, sir, rules of the League.
Photo: But I HAVE to get in!
Guard: Sorry, sir.
Photo: Let me in!
*begins to pound on the doors*
*gods'
I know the bit about the eagle.
But that's not the point.
It wasn't about Titans.
It was about WINNING THE ARGUEMENT.
Don't you just hate it when you're arguing with someone and they just give up and tell you that you win because they can't be bothered to argue with you and you're just like BUT I HAVEN'T WON YET!
(I think I'm too argumentative for my own good. :P)

Hey Annika! :)

Guard: Sir, I'm going to have to ask that you stop pounding on the doors.
Photo: *pounds more viciously*
Let me in! Let me in, dammit!
Guard: *rising panic in his voice*
Sir, please-!
Photo: *the glass in the doors begins to crack*
Let me in!
LET ME IN!
*beginning to sob hysterically*
LET ME IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
Guard: Security! Detain him!
Photo: N-n-no!
*sobbing hysterically*
*his mascara is running*
Y-y-you can't! I work here!
You NEEEEEED to let me in!
The Doors: *bang open*
Three Guards: *rush out of the building and hold him down*
Photo: *struggles*
NGH! LET ME GO!
*tries to kick them away*
*knocks over the paper bag*
*chartreuse tablecloths spill everywhere*
GARY! CALL GARY! HE'LL VOUCH FOR ME!
*the tears stop*
*and he starts screaming in fury now*
Photo: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! I'M NEUROTIC'S RIGHT-HAND MAN! LET ME GO AT ONCE! GARY! GARRRRRY!
Guard 1: What the hell is wrong with him!?
Guard 2: Hold him down till Armitage gets here!
Photo: LET ME GO!
[Watching]
The Doors: *bang open in a burst of snow and mist*
Gary: Photo! What the hell!?
Photo: *gasping for breath*
Gary! There you are, my man! Vouch for me!
*suddenly the fury is gone*
*and replaced by a radiant happiness*
Photo: *smiles and laugh*
*his eyes are sparkling happily*
Gary, come on! Now you're hear, they're bound to listen to me!
Always on my side, eh, Gary? Ha!
Gary: Release him!
Guard 2: But- Mr. Armitage!
Gary: Let him go!
The Guards: *back off*
Gary: *crouches beside Photo to check on him*
Are you alright?
Photo: *sits up*
*rubs eyes, smearing more of his makeup*
Yes, Gary, of course I'm fine.
Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away when they didn't let me in.
*laughs*
Gary: *looks concerned*
Photo . . .
Photo: I'm fine, Gary, see?
*stands up*
*begins picking up the tablecloths*
Gary: . . . You've been having some pretty extreme mood-swings lately. Are you sure you're okay?
Photo: Of course!
Gary: I still can't let you into the building.
Photo: . . .
*begins to shake*
Gary: Photo?
*puts a hand on his shoulder*
. . . Maybe this wedding planning is getting to you. Maybe you should take a break.
Photo: . . .
. . .
. . . I don't need a break.
HA!
*throws back his head*
I don't need a break! I'm doing quite well!
If you must know, this . . . this prohibition, thing . . . it's not working so well with me. I've never done well with prohibitions. Did you know I first met Oscar during THE Prohibition?
Gary: No, I didn't know that.
Photo: *shrugs*
Ah, well.
Gary: I think I should take over the wedding plans for now.
Photo: What?
Gary: For now, just for now. Until you can get back to yourself again.
Photo: Are you out of your . . .!
. . .
. . .
. . . You know what?
Maybe that's for the best.
*nods faintly*
Maybe that's for the best.
*stoops*
*continues picking up the tablecloths*
In maths yesterday . . .
Well, it's quite funny, really. After only three lessons, we had always learnt all we needed to know for half term, so now we have a load of weeks to spare.
Anyway, we're doing probability now, mostly to fill in time (we're already pretty confident on probability), and Sir invented this game for us to play which involved us flipping a coin and rolling a dice.
Then we had to work out the theoretical probability, and he was like "Do you remember being in year seven?"
And we chorused a "No."
And he said "Do you remember Project week?"
And we were like "No."
And he went "Do you remember playing the Santa's Elves game?"
And we were like "No."
And he said, in disbelief, "You don't remember that?"
And we were like "No."
And he was like "So we could have just played that game instead of this overly complicated one?"
And we were like "Yeah."
And anyway, so today we played all the games we played in Year Seven Project Week. I sort of remember some of them, actually.
(Urgh, though. There was this one where you had to see which band got the most fans by rolling dice and moving counters, and it was between a jazz and folk trio and a rock band, and I was supporting the rock band and either moaning or fistpumping about where each counter ended up, and THE JAZZ AND FOLK BAND HAD AN EIGHTH MORE CHANCE OF THE COUNTERS ENDING UP OVER THERE AND I WAS LIKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WAS SO DEVASTATED but anyway), and . . . yeah. I enjoyed working out the theoretical probability more than I enjoyed playing the games, but . . . yeah. :P
Anyway, the point IS . . . we didn't actually remember it, and . . . I don't know. There must be millions of moments in our memories that are just lost in this sea of thought, and there must be all these instances that are gone foREVer . . .
You know when people are talking, and you're not listening, and then they say your name and you're like what?
Well . . . I generally tend to here the WHOLE sentence with my name in it. Out of the blue, I'll hear "I don't think that Holly likes it either," and the point is, I heard the "I don't think that" that came before the "Holly".
So my ears will have heard the whole of that conversation, and my brain will have sorted through it and gone "yeah, don't need to hear that . . . don't need to hear that . . ." and it won't have sent it to my conscious mind. But the sentence that had my name in it . . . it would have gone "Ooh. That's important. Send that one down."
And so my conscious mind would have heard that one.
And if my brain send me EVERYTHING my ears heard -
Well, I would hear so much MORE, you know?
It's kind of sad, really. :)

Gary: *stoops*
*helps Photo pick up the tablecloths*
Anything I can do? Anything at all?
Photo: No.
Gary: Oh.
*they carry on in bleak silence*
*finally, Gary has the last of the tablecloths*
*he passes them to Photo*
Gary: Photo?
Photo: Yeah?
Gary: . . . Take care of yourself, okay?
Photo: *shrugs dismally*
*gives Gary the bag of tablecloths*
Take those inside.
I . . . I am not allowed in.
Gary: *nods*
Right . . .
*watching Photo curiously*
Photo: *sighs*
*turns and begins to walk down the sidewalk*
Gary: *watches him leave*
*frowns*
Photo . . .
THE END

(Photo Q. Finish.
I intended him just to be a passing gag, but as it turns out, he's going to be very, very important to future events.
But enough about my role-play. How are you? I see Maths class was eventful.)
Damn. O_O
That's not fair.
I mean, they're supervillains, but that STILL ISN'T FAIR.
If someone murders somebody, and then they realise the error of their ways and they feel so bad about it, so bad, and sometimes they just curl up on the sofa and cry about it, and they feel so terrible and they'd do anything to erase it but they can't . . . and they decide that they are never doing that ever again, they're going to be a good person, they're going to make up for what they've done. Well, they'll never be able to make up for it, but they'll try their very best. They have to.
And so they set out to try and be a good person, and they're more determined than all the people who haven't murdered anyone because they have so much more to work for.
And everyone hates them for the murder, and all their friends have left them, and their family have cast them out, and no one will give them a job, and it's so not fair, because . . . someone should be PRAISED for realising what they did was wrong and wanting to rectify it. And instead? Instead, they're just living in hell, and whatever they do, they can't rectify it.
What kind of message does that send out to them?
What kind of society are we?
We're meant to be the good guys?
We're acting worse than a murderer.
What kind of . . . *shakes head*
Anyway, that was actually meant to be a metaphor about how Photo should be forgiven.
And
and I always believe in forgiveness.
Always.
*nods*
