Ladies and gentlemen...
When I start writing Book 9, I had a title in mind. And it was a good title. It was a glorious title. It echoed a phrase we'd already seen in the books themselves, and it was cool, and haunting, and awesome...
But for some reason, it wasn't a "Final Book" title.
I don't know why. Some titles suit the last book of a series. Some suit the first. This title — my lovely, glorious title — suited the first.
I'm not going to tell you what it was, because I do plan to use it at some stage — and I never let a good idea go to waste.
But suddenly I had a problem. I needed a new title.
I needed a new title that sounded like a final book. I needed a new title that fit alongside Kingdom of the Wicked and Last Stand of Dead Men. I needed something almost... poetic.
And so I came up with this.

Zaffy is tired and cold

Ah ill be fine
I have to go, bye!
Bai
ah sorry i was distracted by pictures of zayn malik
In one class we were talking about flaws and how your actions can reflect on you. So I said: well there's a character I know of who fits that. And I explained how Nic took Alastair's name but ended up controlled and killing his family still and here he is today. So someone asked where is he from and I said. A group of us internationally no less did a blog of a fan fiction. One theme but each person wrote in for their characters and we would have stories clash and two authors work together to produce a story. So i was asked how and I said: well it started on a blog and it went and spread so we all were authors of the blog and wrote and if you worked with another person you'd email. Then i said how Nic impacted my OC's history. And people were impressed. I explained about MC and people just said thats brilliant. Kids all over the world working together on one story line and coning together despite they live in ther time zones or countries. And MC really was and is great.
Hmmm, yeah. I really need to finish writing for that... >.>
#ChaseForBook9
Hey. Just back from my gran's funeral...
One way to not cry at a funeral is to have a 10 month old boy playing with your's and your mums hair and then climbing over to you half way through the ceremony
That's a brilliant way of not crying, Snow... :)
10 month old babies are adorable.
And Tia, if you read this (which you might not) I recommend the band Pentatonix. They mainly do acapella (dunno about spelling) covers of songs, and they're good.
Like, really good.
In my opinion.
Yeah.
*tries to find something else to talk about*
*fails*
*facepalms*
And YES I managed to spell acapella correctly. :D
It's not much of an achievement, but I'm bored and I need /something/ to get excited about that isn't The Dying of the Light. Or The Blood of Olympus. Or PathFinder/TodHunter Moon. Or, well, certain books, really.
Yeah. :P
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r00ikilDxW4
We're playing this in band at school.
It sounds wicked on the trombone XD
Awesome!
Be right back after 20-ish minutes. :)
WHAT?!?!??!??!!?!?!?
*Dies*
HELLO!
Wbd, finishing off my word art. :)
Well
I'm almost done with the pencil
which means I then have to go BACK OVER all the felt tips parts in the middle. -_-
But then I am DONE. DONE. LIBEREATED. DONE. LIBERATED. LIBERATED, I TELL YOU, LIBERATED!
#ChaseForBookNine
Ah, that's better. :)
SCREW HUNTER. MY PROFILE, MY PROFILE PICTURE. *nods*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello, Star Inkbright/Hunter/Ez! I'm Emerald Phoenix, but please, just call me Fay. It's easier to type, and also there's another Emerald and another Phoenix on here, and that might cause some confusion. Probably. OK, the chances of that happening are low, but whatever. :)
Hey Fay! :) :)
Yeah . . . D:
Wer've had a few Phoenix's. :) It's a nice name. Emerald is too. It's a jewel, you know. Well, you did know. Um . . . yeah. :P
You can call me Star or Ink. Most people call me Star, but some people call me Ink.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hi, Star!
I think I'll call you Star. Yeah. :P
And also, I did know an emerald was a type of jewel. It's not the most unique online name, but I really love the colour emerald green. And phoenixes. Yep.
@Fay: Yeah . . . Star is cool. :)
Okay, so I have to remember to call Fabi Lantern, Luciana Mushroom, Annika Clara, and Emerald Fay.
*nods, imprinting upon my memory*
Emerald green is a nice colour. :)
I like deep colours. Like deep blue and deep green and deep purple and deep red and deep pink and . . . yeah. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Same here! :D
They just look more... uh, deep, I guess?
My descriptive skills are wonderful, huh? :P
They just look more . . . .
Yeah, they DO just look more deep. O_O
You kind of look into them and you can look . . . deeply . . . into them because they're . . . um . . . deep . . .
WHO NEEDS DESCRIPTIVE SKILLS ANYWAY. *mutters*
#ChaseForBookNine
*pumps fist in the air* Down with the descriptive skills! Yeah! Woohoo! Say it with me, people! Down. With. The. Descriptive. Skills!!!!! *pumps fist in air again*
Random passerby: *inches away slowly, creeped out*
And I just realized what Snow's profile pic says...
It's perfect. :D
*Slipknot voice* DOWN WITH THE DESCRIPTIVE SKILLS!!!!!!!!!!!
Random passerby: *inches away a bit faster*
My spellcheck says that 'passerby' isn't a word. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*laughs* XD Snow has the best profile pictures. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Another random passerby:
*dials Bloglandian police* Hello? *quietly mumbles something unknown to police, all the while glancing furtively over*
Random passerby (the original, this time):
*starts to run away* HEEEEELP!!!!!
*people start screaming and running*
*ha*
*it's hilarious*
*because they look like headless chickens, but they're not headless nor chickens*
*but it's still funny*
And sorry for taking so long to reply. :)
((If they were headless, how could they run? :P))
Oh, dear.
*shouts* COME BACK! WE MEANT NO HARM! NOT TO HUMANS AT LEAST!
#ChaseForBookNine
It's fine. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
But, uh, Star, were they not running from the giant rabid marshmallow zombies behind us?
*points over shoulder*
ONE, TWENTY ONE GUNS
@Fay: What giant rabid marshmallow zombies behind us?
*looks behind us* *SCREAMS* *starts running after the passerbys*
((Hey Snow! :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
I JUST REALIZED YOU MENTIONED ME AND I APPEARED. OH.
Hi, Snow! You profile pic is awesome. XD
*your
@Star: Right behind ya. *sprints as fast as she can, twisting and turning to avoid streetlamps* *there's a strange abundance of them*
*looks at giant marshmallow monsters*
*walks up to them*
*hugs them*
*giant rabid marshmallow zombies
SNOW! NO! YOU'LL DIE!
*does a quick 180 and sprints all the way back* *again, the streetlamps*
WHO PUTS ALL OF THESE DARN STREETLAMPS HERE???
((@Snow: YEAH, WE'RE COOL LIKE THAT. XD))
*fails at avoiding the streetlamps and runs into one* OW!
*glares at streetlamp and hits it back* *yelps as I hurt my hand*
*settles with kicking the streetlamp and carries on running*
((Oh, Snow. XD))
#ChaseForBookNine
*the giant rabid marshmallow zombies look at me in puzzlement and stop*
*a streetlamp moves slightly*
Huh?
*the streetlamp lets out a snarl and starts attacking* *I barely manage to dodge the attacks*
Um, Star? I think you made the streetlamps angry...
*all over the street, the lamps begin to growl and start lashing out*
This song is so feelsy
So long to all of my friends
Everyone of them met tragic ends
With every passing day
I’d be lying if I didn’t say
That I miss them all tonight
And if they only knew what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day I’ll lose this fight
As we fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
Be strong and hold my hand
Time becomes for us, you’ll understand
We’ll say goodbye today
And we’re sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I’ll tell you just what I would say
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I’ll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your
Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can’t be stronger in the dark
When I’m here, no longer
You must be stronger and
If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
*sees Snow has stopped the giant rabid marshmallow zombies*
Oh, good! You did it! I could use a little help over here...
*gives a street lamp a rose* please stop rampaging. Star didn't mean it.
That song is beautiful, Lucy. :)
*nods at streetlamp* Yes! I mean, no! I didn't mean it! *hands the streetlamps another rose, one of the ones Clara got me*
@Mushroom: I really see what you mean. D: It is.
*hugs*
Hello. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*the streetlamp huffs and grudgingly accepts the rose*
Thanks, Snow. *takes a deep breath*
I am a natural peace maker.
*doesn't currently have a rose, so gives the streetlamp some Skittles*
*the streetlamp looks confused in a streetlamp-y way*
It's, uh, Skittles. You eat them.
*streetlamp somehow manages to eat the Skittles*
*and it likes them*
G2g, movies and diner
I have to go now, bye. :(
Yeah, you're cool, Snow. :) Fours!
SKITTLESSSSS! :)
*almost steals them off Fay* *remembers I don't want to be attacked by streetlamps* *refrains* *sort of*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello. :)
TLBYE reminds me of Skul&Val. He'd destroy worlds for her safety...
Fours, Fay! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
@Mushroom: Yeah. :/
I want to look it up, but you know, I don't have the willpower to move very much. :P I'll get there.
#ChaseForBookNine

EZTER THOUGH D:
#ChaseForBookNine
THELAISSIA THOUGH
I MADE MY FRIEND LISTEN TO IT AFTER SHE READ SOME OF IMP'S ENDING AND SHE HATED ME SO MUCH OH MY GOD IT WAS HILARIOUS
Hello. Is anyone on? I'm on my phone so yeah.
Actually I might go and buy a bottle of prostitutes. I'll have to walk quite far to get one (since I have no shops nearby), but I've never tried some so I want to since my friend said it's good.
FML I mean MOUNTAIN DEW.
Stupid autocorrect, YET AGAIN. -.-
@Mushroom: XD XD
Hey Dragona! :)
Bottle of prostitutes. XD
*dies of laughter*
*resurrects self, seeing as how I need to die on Saturday and I can't do that if I'm already dead, can I?*
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes, I'm sure your friend said it was very good. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*facephones*
I hate autocorrect.
OH MY GOD HOW DID MOUNTAIN DEW CHANGE TO THAT
*laughs* My god, that's wonderful.
Hey Dragona~
Hey Luciana and Star.
I ~seriously~ hate my phone. And just to show how serious I am I gave it squiggly lines.
@Dragona: Disable it. XD
Or don't, depending on how funny you find it.
I personally dislike having autocorrect.
#ChaseForBookNine
Squiggly lines! :)
I'm fine with spellcheck, though. Me and spellcheck are friends, aren't we, spellcheck? *hugs spellcheck*
#ChaseForBookNine
I hate autocorrect, it was funny for a start when it screwed up I was saying but lately it's been taking it TOOO far. :P
But if I disable it I won't make any sense at all. At least I can correct autocorrect quickly enough, but I can't go and correct everything I type without it.
Fishing upwards brb.
... I meant washing up.
Spellcheck: . . .
@Dragona: Yeah, I get what you mean. XD
And - yeah . . . I see your point.
*looks upwards at all the fish* Okay. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*hides in a corner*
*worried she's pissed her step-dad off*
Hey!
We were near the start of "Thor, into darkness" when the phone rang. And now, because my mum refuses to leave the room when on the phone because its "her house", we have to wait ror her to get off to finish the movie
Hey Silente! :)

@Snow: -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
Le sigh

#ChaseForBookNine
Music: Sit back, relax~
Me: I CAN'T I'M FREAKING OUT HERE FUCK YOU
#ChaseForBookNine
I have a quick question, Star. When you say "fours" is it a reference to Foaly in Artemis Fowl?
Just wondering coz Foaly is amazing...
Aaaaand I have to go again. *sigh* Food calls. And so does my sister... she's literally shouting out to the universe that we're going to have eat now. -_-

SERIOUSLY
WOAH
O_O
@Mushroom: THANK YOU!!!
I'm posting it on my word art blog now, so I'll link you in a minute! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
We’re sitting in the centre of a grassy labyrinth, drinking tea from adorable little cups. There’s a table between us. A circular one. And we’re alone. On the table, as well as the tea, are small cupcakes and brownies like Naomi always used to bake for me when I was little. The grass out here is greener than I ever remember it being and there are daisies with pink and purple tinges to their petals. It looks so beautiful, especially with how they sway in the gentle breeze.
It’s warm here, but not overly so, and the light is beginning to drain from the sky in that beautiful way it does every night. A slight smile tugs at my lips as I sip at my sugary tea. Everything here looks so wonderful, especially with the hedges forming walls around us. Uncle Chris sits across from me, sipping at his own cup of tea and seems to be reading a newspaper. He always loved to be up to date with everything.
“Elaissia, you look even more stunning than I remember you being, my darling!” he says as his eyes flicker up to me. He looks as surprised as I feel. My cup falls from my hand and smashes on the table, startling us both.
I blink a few times and rub my eyes, not believing what I see. He looks younger than I’ve ever seen him, and I don’t believe that this is real, not even for a minute, but I want to.
Scared and confused, I brush my hair through my hands and realise that my hair is much shorter than it ever has been. It’s no longer than my shoulders. I grab the closest spoon from the table and gaze into it, fascinated by my short, curly hair and how my eyes are wider than normal.
“What’s going on…?” I ask, my voice reflecting my uncertainty. The last thing I knew I was laying in Theo’s arms, falling to sleep; now I’m here…? A rational part of my mind tells me it’s just a dream, but it soon pipes down when I realise how real this feels. I’ve never seen this place before, but it feels so familiar. It’s the perfect temperature here and everything looks so peaceful and beautiful. And Uncle Chris is here.
“You’re visiting me, don’t you remember?” he smiles, and that’s when all doubt evaporates from my mind; of course I’m visiting Uncle Chris. He didn’t really die; it was a hoax. We’re at one of his holiday homes. I think this one is the one in France and it’s familiar because I’ve seen pictures of it. Of course I’m visiting Uncle Chris; what else would I do when my parents are away? “You wanted to get away from it all,” he continues, “so I insisted you come and visit me. You were complaining about how terrible life is, just the other day, so I thought I’d invite you to come see me. You agreed under the premise that if Theo didn’t tell you in under a few hours that he needed you to stay you’d come stay with me. Do you not remember any of this?”
“No…” I frown. “I don’t remember any of it at all.” But even as I say this, pieces of memories begin to form together. I remember being fed up. I remember needing to leave. I remember crying and needing to see my uncle again.
“Oh!” he says suddenly, disrupting my thoughts. “Have a cupcake! They’re delicious!” he grins happily, handing me a cupcake with pink and blue frosting. “They’re heavenly.”
As I realise that my stomach is rumbling, I take the cupcake from him and bite into it. And that’s when I realise he’s right; these cupcakes are heavenly. Flavours I don’t recognise explode inside of my mouth as I chew and I’m almost certain that I’m experience what bliss truly is.
“The fruit is delicious too,” he says, gesturing to baskets I hadn’t noticed before. “You should indulge yourself! Here, you are only the people who you are truly meant to be and can therefore not physically change. Which means you will always have your beautiful short hair and probably always wear beautiful white dresses like that one. You know, in that dress, I can imagine you getting married today… it’s a shame Theo isn’t here, isn’t it? The two of you could spend eternity together in this wonderful place.”
A smile fights its way to my lips and I’m not sure what’s going on, but I know I like it. I don’t bother asking about the not changing thing, because the idea of being with Theo forever is so wonderful; I’d never have to let him go and we could stay in this wonderful place forever…
“Is there a library around here anywhere?” I ask, my curiosity taking the reins.
“Of course there is!” Uncle Chris says happily. “There’s anything you want there to be. The world is your empty book to fill with words, remember?”
I grin, “I’m the author in the story of my life.”
“You’re a very clever girl,” he nods approvingly. “There’s no doubt in my mind that if you stayed with Theo that you would have done well for yourself.” There’s a sad smile on his lips now, one that I can’t understand.
My hand goes to my neck the way it normally does when I’m nervous and I search for a necklace. But there isn’t one there. I look down at myself and realise that I’m wearing only a white gown – not even any shoes. And my hair isn’t tied up with anything; it’s just hanging in curls by my face. I always make an effort, no matter what, but now I don’t even feel like myself… white isn’t my colour and my hair was always long. What on earth is going on?
“Can’t I do well for myself now?” I ask, confused. “Of course not.” He laughs, as though it’s obvious. “You’re dead.”
Is that okay?
I can't decide if I like it or not... I don't think I do... :I
@Mushroom: I like it. O_O
It's amazing. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
I've decided to drop in for a minute. Afternoon.
NIXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! *attacklehugs*
THANK YOU STAR! I'm glad you like it. <3 *huggles*
And a hello to you to.
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX! *SCREAMS*
AFTERNOON! :)
THIS DAY JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER WHAT IS THIS MADNESS. O_O
@Mushroom: Of course I like it. O_O
It's also good because I think the read does think that she's dreaming quite a bit, so it's not like it's one of those things where the reader obviously knows something has happened but the character doesn't realise and then it's not a surprise . . . :)
#ChaseForBookNine
How are you?! It's been... A long time. I don't even remember how long it has been. It must have been a while. o.o
... Star I do not understand what you mean by that.
Lovely to see enthusiasm hasn't died around here, even if I do question the subject of it.
Little old me is nothing to scream about.
*laughs* You, Nix, are incredible. You are most certainly something to scream about!
Everything can be screamed about. For both positive and negative reasons.
Was it reeeeaaaaal, or a love scene from a bad dream? I don't think I can forget about ittttttttt~
IreallylikeATLokay
I am dandy. Spiffing. Absolutely content with all in my life.
Slight exaggeration, but more or less true. How about you?
@Mushroom: Oh, dear. :O
I am so shit at explaining things; in maths, this girl sometimes asks me how to do something when I know and she doesn't, and I try to explain but then she ends up looking more confused than when I started so I generally have to ask the girl next to me to help me out. :P
I can't explain. D: Sorry.
@Nix: OF COURSE ENTHUSIASM HASN'T DIED.
And - of course you're scream-about-able. You're more scream-about-able than sparkles, anyway. Not that Hunter would agree.
#ChaseForBookNine
I appreciate how your lexicon has evolved since the last time we conversed, Nix~. It is odd, however. The lexical choices are stereotypically British... I like it.
I'm okay, thank you~
Hating writing, hating college, but loving Blogland again, so s'all good, I guess:')
Lexicon, that's a word I haven't heard in a while.
Lexicon is one of my favourite words currently; we use it a lot in English Language. And many other variations of the word lexis. Lexis is a wonderful word. It sounds so... rounded.
Barhumbug
Yep.
I still haven't read your book yet. I really want to.
Bbs, lunch. :(
STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY
I NEED TO MAKE YOU A BIRTHDAY CARD. BECAUSE YOU MAKE SO MANY. (even if you didnt make one for me, it's okay. I forgive you. This time.)
WHEN IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
*runs in dust stirring in her wake*
*comes to a sudden stop*
*smiles and dusts off*
Hello everyone.
*licks Tempest's cheek* hey there
*stares as snow shocked*
*touches her cheek absently*
*shrugs*
Hey snow! How are you?
HEY SNOW!
HEY SILENTE!
I'M LISTENING TO MY IMPERFECT PLAYLIST AND I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE THIS PLAYLIST IT'S SO PERFECT I CANNOT EVEN CAN
I am fine. A bit worried by the amount of random people who I dont hugging me today, but fine.
Like seriously, I was sitting there and someone would come up to me and hug me and say something like "you were so brave today." Or "its okay" and id be there, noding and smiling and thinking, yes yes, I completely know who you are. Not some random person at all.
*didnt know
Urgh. -_- Wifi went.
@Snow: TELL ME WHEN YOUR BIRTHDAY IS IN ADVANCE AND I'LL MAKE YOU ONE. :)
And - THANK YOU! But my birthday is ages away on September the fifteenth. :P
@Nix: The published screwed up so ItS isn't really out . . . D: I have a copy, but only because I met her. :)
Hey Silente, Snow! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Luci! Yey! Imperfect perfection!
@snow its annoying when people do that. I mean, why are you hugging me? Who are you? I don't know you! Stop hugging me! Like when people know your name and you have no idea who they are. Awkward and annoying.
Hey Star! Da warrior bubble!
@Tempest ikr?
@Star Date remembered
@Snow: :P
And - *hugs* :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ahkay
Might pop in sooner or later. But ciao for now.
Brb
Mind you it might just be me who's like that with hugs...I just DONT LIKE HUGS! In real life or in virtual world I think hugs are weird and uncomfortable. Especially when you don't know who's hugging you. Even if you do though its still weird...
Bye person I don't think I've met before!
Bye Nix! *waves*
... Didn't Cat used to hate hugs too?
There are so many people who no longer visit the blog. It makes me sad. :(
@Silente: Warrior? O_O
OKAY. BLOG POST WRITTEN.

*the knife is silver, and sharp*
*slices up the handkerchief into four neat rags*
*which are tossed carelessly into the cauldron*
*the fluid churns*

*and pinker*
*The Chemist stirs the cauldron*

Cell Phone: DO YOU BELIEVE IN-
*flips open phone*
Hullo?
Hassle: It’s done?
Fours, Nix . . . :(
@Mushroom: I know . . . :(
And I'm crap at keeping in touch, too. D:
@Silente: I'm not fond of hugs from non-family people irl. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Yes star, you are a WARRIOR BUBBLE!
Who's cat?
(Nor am I. Fond of proper hugs, that is.)
CLARA! O_O

Warrior of what? How? :O
@Silente: Someone who used to come on . . . :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*looks down at the cauldron*
*the sludge is pink now*
*and thicker than marshmallow*
. . . Yeah. It’s done.
Hassle: And he doesn’t know you took it?
He doesn’t know a thing, Hassle, calm down.
*sits beside the cauldron*
*watches the slowly hardening mud within it*
*in the background, the radio is on*
*playing Cher’s ‘Believe’*
*that song rings in the Chemist’s ears and his heart and his head*
*it won’t ever go away*
*not really*
*hears sounds outside*
*creaking noises*
*someone ascending the stairs to his room*
*the door opens*
Hassle: *enters the room*
*shuts cell phone and puts it away*
*does the same*
It’s all finished, just like you said.
Hassle: *approaches the cauldron*
*his legs dragging drunkenly on the floor*
*leans over the cauldron*
*drags two fingers through the mulch*
*rubs the pinkish stuff between his fingers*
P-e-r-f-e-c-t.
You’ve done good, Chemist, you’ve done REAL good.
All we need now is to sneak it in, eheheh.
Form it, and sneak it in all quick and quiet.
*scoffs*
Please. That’ll be, by far, the easiest part of the job.
I FINISHED ITTTTTTTTTTTT. :)
NOW I HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO!
. . . Like revise. -_-

(So, somebody tried to pick an internet argument with me earlier. Not here, on a different site. Anyhow, I do despise internet arguments. They get so bloody, and though I am good at them, I prefer to avoid them. So I challenged them to an internet pokémon battle instead, and we got so involved with the pokémon battle and were having so much fun that she forgot why she was mad at me.
Good times, good times.)

"*hugs* Every day you accomplish something, in my eyes at least. Every day, just by being you, you accomplish perfection." ~Luciana Scà th
When did I say that? It sounds like me, but... I don't remember ever saying it...
@Clara: *laughs* XD
#ChaseForBookNine
@star Warrior of the bubbles. Specifically warrior of the Ink Bubble Clan. You speak for them and protect them.
Hassle: Do you think they suspect you?
No. If anything, they . . . well, no.
*looks away*
I’m certain they don’t suspect me.
Hassle: *coughs violently into his hand*
*when he takes it away, his hand is slick with blood, snot, and saliva*
*he wipes it on his pants and continues examining the contents of the cauldron*
You’re certain you’ve made it correctly?
Of course I made it correctly.
*leans back in his chair*
Hassle: DON’T be so sure,
dammit, dammit!
Don’t be sure. It’s tricky, tricky business, this curse.
Only pulled off once before. Only succeeded once, one time before.
. . . And that was a strong woman, Hassle, a fiery, powerful girl. If this mess worked on the greatest female boxing champion the world has ever known, it will work on a piddling coward and drunk.
@Mushroom: I don't remember saying lots of things. XD
And Clara doesn't even remember saying that violence is not the answer, violence is the QUESTION, and the answer is to hug it over a bowl of Skittles.
So there you go. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Okay I know I say this a lot but omg
"Being perfect isn't about being flawless. It's about being perfectly you." - Luciana Scáth
This is a suckish quote why do you guys like it so much really
(Sometimes I am so clever that I don't understand [or remember] a word that I say.)
@Silente: Wow. :O Oh my gosh, I must be so bad at my job. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hassle: Then we’re home free.
Yes.
*reaches into pocket*
*removes a silver tube*
*un-caps it*
*it’s an empty tube of lipstick*
All I need do is form it, and slip it into her dressing room before the ceremonies.
Hassle: Where would I be without you, Chemist?
*smiles*
I think the far more interesting question is,
where would I be without YOU?
THE END
@Mushroom: Because it's perfect. :)
And because it's true.
@Clara: I would say that I don't remember anything I say either, but I just said it, so . . .
Oh, hey.
I REMEMBER THAT I JUST SAID IT.
*nods proudly*
#ChaseForBookNine
That's brilliant Star!
And everyone seems to have birthdays at the opposite end of the year to me! I'm February :3
Hello everyone btw :)
@Flora: No - TONS of people have birthday around March/February time. :O It's a nightmare for birthday cards. -_-
And - thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

"Hope is the strongest thing I've ever known, it can turn the tides in a losing battle, it can bring about comfort to those who are worried and can be used as the most powerful weapon in the world.
Each year I hope that it will be a better year than the last. Every day I hope the day will be better than the previous. Every time something goes wrong, I hope it can be fixed.
I hope a lot. Because hope reminds me that anything is possible.
I'm hoping, right now, that things will improve for the people I love, because in their lives I am often redundant.
Hope gives people something to fight for, whether it's a war, a battle, a struggle in life, it a struggle for life.
I wouldn't be here without faith, and without hope. They are magical things that humankind have been gifted with.
Anyone know the tale of Pandora's Box? All of these sins and horrible things are released from the box at first, because she did what any human does - she made a mistake.
But then, a small bright little thing called hope comes out. Because, no matter how bad life may be, no matter how evil something/someone is, no matter how dark the days get, hope will always be there!"
wHAT EVEN HAPPENED TO ME WHY DO I COME OUT WITH THIS STUFF REALLY HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE FOR ME TO BE ROLLING DOWN A HILL AND GETTING GRASS STAINS ON MY SHORTS ONE MINUTE THEN COMING OUT WITH THIS SHIT THE NEXT?!
@Mushroom: Because you're amazing. :)
That's part of what's cool about ItS, because it's really like you. XD It's half hyper and half meaningful.
#ChaseForBookNine
*yawn*
*covers mouth daintily with silk handkerchief*
I'm sorry my role-playing has been a bit substandard of late,
but I promise I will pull out all the stops at the wedding.
There will be character development, a plot twist that no one's predicted yet, ours-devours, and murder. What more can you ask for?
ANYWAY, I should be revising now, so wbd!
#ChaseForBookNine
DAMN IT ANNI
I apologize, Snow, what have I done to displease you?
*frowns*
Roleplaying while I'm away. And making me wonder what you devious little mind has come up with
@Clara: DON'T TELL ME THESE THINGS D:
IS IT NOT BAD ENOUGH THAT THEY WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT ME KNOWING THEY WILL HAPPEN?
A plot twist no one's predicted yet, though. O_O
Hmm.
Um . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Also, luc, are you looking at the quotes blog?
Oh, you mean the twist?
*grins*
It's a good twist.
No one has guessed it yet, though I've ensured that the signs are all there.
*laughs* Yes, Snow, I was. I never realised anyone actually listened to what I said. ^-^
Sorry I poofed.
Star you are good at your roll as Warrior Bubble.
The wedding will undoubtedly be Histrionic
@Clara: There you go, I just typed 'Mushroom' rather than 'Clara'. I TOLD YOU I WOULD GET MIXED UP.
Um . . .
I MEAN ALL OF IT.
And - I am going to be kicking myself at this wedding, aren't I? O_O
@Mushroom: You're kidding. O_O I love what you say. I remember it in that place in my head where I remember things like folding paper metaphors and every step being an adventure, and then I come back to it and build on it and tell people it.
My friends are actually sick of me telling them that perfect doesn't mean flawless now. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
@Silente: . . . How? O_O
@Snow: Undoubtedly. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I sincerely hope so. After all, I am pulling out all the stops.
And I am going to be brutal
BRUTAL.
. . . But I will promise you this.
At the end of the role-play, the very last few lines,
I think will be ENORMOUSLY SATISFYING to you all.
I hope so, at least.
Histrionic
I like that word.
Means overly dramatic.
Well, you talk a lot so that's the messenger part covered and as for the protection part I've never seen another bubble and so I'm fairly certain they are safe, hidden away from this brutal world, through the portal that leads to bubble world. That is the gateway and that I what you protect. You are the gate keeper. You. Are. THE WARRIOR BUBBLE!
Hello Clara!
*pokes*
