The Year of the Requiem

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.

G2g. Toodles.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I have missed a lot of things haha. Probably for the best, I'm more of a shrub/bush worshiper anyway.

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

@snow tar rar.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Snow, I like it, but it is sadly a little small :( Bai bai! :3

@Silente, hmmm. Depends on weather or not you could restrain yourself XD

JonathonMoore. said...

You people are weird. I'M HOME!

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

Well yes I suppose it would. And if I can?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

If you can, then I will get you a drink. Perhaps a whiskey? I recommend 7 and 7 with a lime, or Johnny Walker Red..

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

*rolls her eyes*
I prefer something fresher, more flavorful and more...vibrant in colour. Oh and don't forget still warm.

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

((BBS food))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*casually discards cold corpse*
I guess that's out of the question then...

I'm curious, from where do you drink? Are you a classic neck-bitting vampire, or perhaps more of a wrist/arm type?

Can I call you Vampy? :)

Luciana said...

Okay, so I used to be known for my dedications on this blog, so I’m going to attempt to take back my crown of awesomeness in the realm of dedications. Though, this will probably be terrible due to me being so out of touch with writing dedications…
Wish me luck.
So, in philosophy we study the problem of evil, right? And evil is defined as the pain and suffering of sentient beings. There are theories that we suffer to grow as people and that in the end we will become perfect, but I disagree with this: I think we already are perfect. Star said it yesterday. I have this idea (MINE NOT STAR’S SHE JUST SAID IT YESTERDAY OKAY) that perfection isn’t being flawless.
Like… um… Okay, this is an excerpt from my newest manuscript (Imperfect) and it illustrates what I’m trying to say pretty well, I think…
Theo sighs at my outburst and we continue to walk, until he eventually looks up at me again and whispers my name. It takes him a few moments to begin to speak again.
“Perfect doesn’t necessarily mean flawless, El,” He replies calmly, taking my hand in his. “Perfection is being the best you that you can be. Being you and not pretending and faking how you feel is what makes you perfect. After all, perfect means to complete a job flawlessly, right? Therefore meaning that if you are you and are true to yourself, you become perfect, because you’re completing the job of being yourself perfectly. That make sense…?”
“Not really…”
“If you’re true to yourself, you’ll be nothing short of perfect.”

I think that everyone has the potential to be perfect, but they can only truly be this perfect being if they’re true to who they are and don’t pretend to be someone else. If you are yourself, you can’t not be perfect, because the denotation of perfection states that to be perfect you must complete a job flawlessly. I guess it’s a rather complicated concept, but it’s how I see things. The most simply complicated things are the most wonderful though – I mean, look at love; nothing is quite as complex as that, but nothing is as simple as loving someone, either. That’s what makes being you so important.

Luciana said...

And now onto my point… (I’m sorry, I’m rambling, I know, but I’m terrible at this stuff). Life is full of ups and downs; it’s a rollercoaster. It’s your story. You’re the protagonist, you’re the author, and you’re the one who has the biggest say in this story of your life, right? Well, sometimes you might get low. You might forget why you’re still here. You might have your heart broken. You might lose someone you love. You might be hurt. You might make a massive mistake. You might not be okay one day, and I want to dedicate this. To not being okay. Because it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to cry over fictional characters, or actors or painful jokes or friends being cruel or having a crap day or even no reason for crying. It’s okay to cry. And I want to dedicate to that, to crying. Because it’s a way of getting the emotion away from you. It’s a way to release the demon that is constantly trying to take you over.
Another part of my book to illustrate what I’m trying to say:
“If you're sad, just cry. Cry it out, because if you don't, the sadness will manifest itself within you and it will slowly grow until the day it takes over you. It's an ugly thing when it takes over... Don't allow it to take control of you, just let it out.” I hear Theo say, his feet heavy on the floor. I don’t have to look up to know he’s stood over me; I can hear his footsteps stop. “Don’t lock them away, because when they break out, they will be your end. Come here,” he pulls me away from the pillow and closer to him, and I let him. I fall into him and just cry.
I cry so hard my whole body shakes. I sob so hard I don’t think I’ll ever be able to smile again. I just bawl, in the least attractive way that there is, in the ugliest way possible. Because Theo envelopes me in a hug, my silent tears develop into a sob and I become a blubbering wreck.
And for some reason, I don’t care. I’m just thankful to have a friend. It’s the only thing I’ve ever truly wanted.

I know I’m being lame relying on my own writing, but, it’s easier for me. It might be easier to read, too. But, yes. I want to dedicate to not being okay and being able to cry. Being able to let out the pain. Being able to stop the monster. Being able to admit when you hurt. It’s strong to break down; not weak. Getting yourself back up again is painful and it takes an awful lot of strength, and that’s why you need to do it; you need to prove to everyone that you are strong and you can beat the monster that has its grasp on you.
This is really lame and I lost my point a few times, but… I’mma end with a poem:
If it’s a monster that you seek,
Cease your search beneath your bed
And turn your attention to the mirror instead.
They live inside of us
They’re more than little balls of fuzz,
Monsters and cold and cruel – not cute.
They watch through our eyes, eager to put us on mute.
Already on her life they have fed,
They only wish to see us dead.
Now is our time to fight,
We cannot let go of another light.
Now is our time to fight –
With all of our might.
Only together can we vanquish these villains.
Only together can we end this battle.
Only together can we win this war.


It’s okay to be not okay. It’s okay to cry. And I dedicate to being not okay and to crying and to being able to admit that sometimes everything isn’t so wonderful and bright. That sometimes things hurt.

I’m sorry this was so long, I suck at deds. XD

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

((Back!))
I try not to bite my prey, that leaves too many loose ends. I'd rather use the needle method. Its quicker and means I'm not being followed by clumsy changelings. And I'd rather you not call me vampy. You sure I can't have a drink? Not even a small one?

Luciana said...

Hey Silente!

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

Get ded Luci. :-)

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

**great not get

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Well, I missed the revision session, so I'm back? (I can revise at home, duh!)

*walks up to Silente*

*leans towards her neck*

*sniffs*

Hmm... Interesting.

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

*turns to face Tia*
*raises one brow at him*
Interesting? What, pray tell, is interesting about my scent?

Luciana said...

Thanks Silente:)

I'm so out of practice though so it's mega lame, haha. ^_^

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

Its not meg lame! I thought it was great!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*applauds loudly*

I like this ded, very much.
It reminds me (in a sort of weird way) of Fight Club. Crying is a good release :)

@Silente: hmm. There's too many kinds of vampires :/ Are you a SP vampire (big white-skinned black eyed monster)? :s
Cause in that case I probably shouldn't let you taste anything ..

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

Tia- i sent them to a friend

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((Tia is a female Chronomancer))

I have always wanted to find out the smell of a vampire, as vampires are rarely seen these days.

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

SP vampire. Big (ish) white-skinned black-eyed beauty. And that spent mean you shouldn't let me sample. I'm rather good at controlling myself...well, usually.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Tia: I'm lost, are you male or female? Or perhaps male, RPing a female character?

Luciana said...

Thank you guys:3

MOROI ARE MY FAVOURITE VAMPIRES. BUT I SORT OF HAVE TO SAY THAT BECAUSE I AM DHAMPIR SO

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*waves at Zafira Kerias* Ah, ok Zaf.

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

((Sorry! Wrong gender! Sorry Tia!))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

A beauty hey? ;P
hmm. Okay, just one little bit!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((I'm male, and I don't usually RP, so I only have one character, who is female))

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

Good. But, to avoid you...changing...use this.
*tosses him a clean needle*
You know how to use it right?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

((oh.. ok ._. ))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*stabs needle haphazardly into arm and proceeds to do a silly dance*

nope :)

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

*rolls her eyes at him*
Stay still.
*moves over to him*
*expertly applies a torque to his arm above his elbow*
*removes the needle from where he stabbed himself*
*wipes his wrist with a alcohol wipe*
*slides the needle in gently*
*fills it up with blood*
*removes the needles placing a finger over where the needle was to stop anymore blood escaping*
*smiles and pockets the needle for later*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You are stealthy, very smooth movements you have. It's clear I'm dealing with an experienced vampire :)

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

Yes, you are.
*removes her finger from his wrist*
*its not bleeding anymore*
*removes the torque*
I've been around a while now. Been 12 for 121 years now.
*smiles*
So much fun was had. Anyway.
*pulls out two shot glasses*
*fills one with vodka*
*fills the other with some vodka*
*tops it up with a little blood*
*picks up the blood one*
To meeting new people

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*Looks closely at Jerry/Lucy, then slowly pokes her in the face*
..How's that revision going?

*Picks up Vodka shot*
Oh no don't tell me I'm drinking Vodka with a twelve year old? o.o (albeit a really old one)

Well, yes, to meeting new people!

*Drinks vodka, places shot glass upside down*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Silente, re: your original question about my title. You're right, I should have one. I mean I never did fix up my username since I made this account..

Luciana said...

... I ended up editing Imperfect. Again.

*pokes Matex back* Revision sucks, man.

I just want to throw knives at something. Or someone.

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

*downs her shot*
*shivers at the blood*
*closes her eyes and sighs leaning back against a tree*
*licks her lips, grinning*
I don't count as a twelve year old anymore, not unless it helps me.
*opens her eyes and looks up at Matex*
Wanna dance?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

So true, Lucy. Do you have an exam coming up soon or something? (Preferably throw them at something... or an un-dead someone)

Well its okay, I am 64 and have been for 64 years :)
Ooooo! What kind of dancing does a 121 year old Vampire enjoy? :)

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

Lots of dancing. Although I prefer ball room.
*rises to her feet still buzzing from the blood*
*presses play on a boom box*
*music blares out*
*stands looking up at Matex brows raised*
So, care to dance?

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

((All together in 133years old, I was turned on my 12th birthday))

Luciana said...

May 12th and May 16th for Philosophy. May 14th and 16th for Language and Literature...

*frowns* I'd be great in the Hunger Games... I'm cruel enough. :3

Imma talk my dad into letting me learn to throw knives. And learn some form of martial arts.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Hahaha very nice, I approve!
Absolutely :)
*takes Silente's hands and begins dancing*

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

*smiles while dancing*
*leans her head on his chest*
*closes her eyes and settles into the dance*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Throwing knives is hard :( You DO need good knives though. I hope your dad says yes, that would be so cool.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Aw, a cute vampire ;)
*moves slowly, and gracefuly, so as not to disturb Miss Silente*

Jophiel said...

*Watches the couple dance, smiling softly. She leans her head back on the trunk of a dying tree and flicks one leg up on a branch*

(Sorry if I'm doing this wrong...))

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

((Yes. Very cute. Cutest thing alive. For now...))

*sighs and adjusts to his speed*
*her feet move automatically, going through the step drilled into her so long ago*
*relaxes*

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

((Your doing it right Justa. Also hey! Also couple? More like...er...aquentances?))

Luciana said...

My dad is currently teaching me guitar, so he might make me wait to learn to throw knives... But if I say it's for my writing there's more of a chance! I need to learn properly to enhance my narrative skills; I can't continue to rely on my best friend's judo abilities. I need to be capable of fighting myself for both my writing and for real life situations, because the world is a rough place and you must always be alert.

Jophiel said...

(Couple as in 'two')

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

((Ah okay. You don't mind me calling you Justa do you? If you don't like it just say 'yo vampscadoodles, less a da Justa. You get me brada? Ay!' And I'll stop))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Lucy you are a wise person. So much wisdom. The ability to throw knives never goes astray. Guitar? Awesome! :D I love playing music <3

Aha, yes, acquaintances I suppose (although you did drink my blood :P)

*twirls slowly around in a circle with Silente*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

(('Just A Girl', What DO we call you?))

Luciana said...

I'm back to being wise again? How little things here have changed.

I want to be more than just the teen author. I mean, everyone at college knows me as that chick who got a book published at age sixteen. But I'm more than that. And I want to prove that to people. I want to play guitar well, I want to be clever, I want to be capable of wielding a weapon and I want my body to be a weapon as much as a knife is. I want to be more than just a one trick pony. I want to prove my worth. I know I don't need to - I'm great as myself. But, that doesn't mean I can't improve. :3

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

*carries on leaning against his chest*
*twirls around with him to the music*
*hears the song drifting to a close*
*carries on dancing through the gap between one song ending and one beginning*
*moves lightly on her feet*
*moves onto her tip toes getting closer to Matex's height*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You had a book published? I was not aware! What is it?

Luciana said...

Yeah, I've got a book published. It sucks though. Ask Star. She has a signed copy.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

That is usually the case (our earlier work always sucks when we look back at it). But still, how did you get something published? o.o

I was always planning to be an author but ugh, I lost motivation. Now I make games instead.

*nods to self: I am pretty tall*
And Silente, you dance wonderfully.
*Steps away briefly in dance, then closes in once more*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*Looks intently into the shadows*
Is any one else hiding in the corner, just ghosting these comments? It seems to have quietened down. If you are here, show ye selves!

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

*murmurs against his chest*
Thank you, you dance wonderfully too.
*opens her eyes and smiles up at him*
And your a very kind person for indulging an old child.
*dances along with him her dress swoshing around her*

Luciana said...

*shrugs* I don't know. I started writing a year and a bit ago. By September last year, I had a book published. It's weird. Seventeen years old and already more successful than half of her teachers in achieving their dreams. I want to get Imperfect published when I finish editing. Which will be soon. I'm editing it right now. It's a cute scene. But also very sad...


Nuh-bak-eh upps-uh.
Narang gatchi eessuh.
Yeong-wonhi.

Ugh, why is Theo not real?!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

ah, worry not, we're two of a kind, immortal in one way or another. You, a vampire, and me, a time travelling magician from the future.

Neither of us look our age so we probably have everyone confused. Which is a good thing, of course.

*sweeps Silente off her feet in a gentle half-turn, then brushes a stray strand of her hair back*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I don't even know. That's awesome. I'm jealous, in a good way hahaha! It is usually a reeaally hard business to get into - getting anything published!
Lol, editing.

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

*smiles up at him as he brushes away her hair*
Of course.
*her eyes sparkle in the light*
*she meets his gaze and holds it*

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

((What's your book called Luci?))

Luciana said...

I know. I'm a really lucky girl. Really lucky.

Ugh, editing is hell. -.-"

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Yes yes lucy tell us what it is called!
And where we can get a copy.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Haha Silente, you are very forward with your "acquaintances" :P

*maintains gaze, determined not to lose his footing while keeping his eyes locked with hers*

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

((Sometimes I am..))

*smiles up at him*
*her silver hair stirring in a light breeze*
*keeps eye contact with him*

Luciana said...

It's called In The Shadows and only I have copies. My publisher messed up and breached the contract and therefore brought an end to it. Now only I have the books.

It's a lame story anyway. *shrugs*

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

((Awww that means we can't read it! D:))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Stupid stupid publishers.
*sigh*
I wish you luck with your next story then, fulfil your dreams! (after editing ;P)

Actually I didn't mind editing, I find it enjoyable. If it sucks then perhaps you should have an editor haha.

*raises one eyebrow at Silente while waltzing slowly*

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

*raises one brow back smirking slightly*
*steps back and twirls her dress and hair flying out around me*
*steps back in continuing the dance grinning*

Luciana said...

I'm just bored of this story. I've been working on it since December, so I need a break... But I need to finish it. Sort of conflicted, y'know?

Thanks, though.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Yess.
Wait.
I just realised that I learnt how to dance but I have no idea what the words are to describe it..

*does the circly thingy, with one hand still holding Silente's, moving around her with small steps*

(There's a leaning/swaying motion involved somewhere, but I don't know what that's called either -_-)

*realises he has broken the gaze; damn it, you win again Vampy ;) *

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Yeah Lucy that's usually what happens, the closer you get to completing something the more you get bored of it, and there would always come a point where I just moved onto the next thing. Regardless of whether it was stories, games, or writing music.

I recommend actually starting something new, just a bit, and then come back and actually finish this one...

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

(Naturally I win :-) I'm just amazing like that ;) )

*continues the dance giggling slightly*
*speeds up slightly, testing Matex*
*grins and leans back against his chest*
*still on tiptoes*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Or just don't do anything related to writing, find another hobby for a few days haha. It always feels better, coming back to something you've nearly finished.

Luciana said...

I'm too stubborn to give up on it now. I'm going to finish it before A2 year, I'm too determined not to!

Thank you for the advice, though. It's much appreciated. :3

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*siigh*
Another point goes to Vampy ;) You can get some more blood later for that heh heh.

*Matches her speed, feet shuffling quickly and effortlessly, one around the other*
*Pauses to admire her dress*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh no definitely don't give up aha! What's A2 year?
And how big is it? (word count/ page count?)

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

No blood needed, the dance can pay it off.

*twirls to make her dress swirl around*
*moved back into the dances traditional moves*
*grins up at Matex eyes sparkling*

Luciana said...

A2 year is my final college year. Starts in June.

Uh... About 70-80k. I don't know - it's all in pieces at the minute. Easier to edit that way. :)

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Aha, the education system strikes again! It is always a cause for confusion.

But eh, you have a whole life ahead of you, don't stress too much :) Wow, fair effort haha!

Do you have a "back-up plan" involving a "real job" in case being an author "doesn't work out"? (note the sarcasm v_v)

Luciana said...

The education system sucks here in England. -.-"

Yeah, I guess I do...

No, I don't. My plan is to go to university and do English, Philosophy or Ancient history, then get a masters and finish with a doctorate and go from there. :3

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Hmmm okay then Silente, dancing it is!

*Lifts Silente off her feet*

Of course there is no way I could surprise a vampire, ah keeping up with your dancing is a challenge!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh, well that is more than good enough, at least you'll have all the qualifications and stuff not just "I write books", which people always say doesn't count :(

Aha, England, yeah I find theirs especially strange. I'm in Australia, we have a straight forward system compared to everyone else hahaha. I just started University this year, it is the best thing :)

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

I'm going easy on you. You want a challenge, just ask.
*grins down at him*
*winks at him*

((The education here (england) isn't that bad))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

((You guys have this weird High School with an optional 12th and 13th grade, then University, but with optional College in the middle or something. I was just like whaaaat.))

Oh no, this is more than enough challenge for now ;) Wait until after I've had my coffee then we'll see about that dance challenge! :D

*gently nudges her off her tip-toes and winks back at her*

Luciana said...

We have high school for years seven to eleven, then college/sixth form for years 12 and 13 (both optional) and then university:)

I'm tempted to apply for university in Australia, if I'm honest. Sydney or Adelaide look phenomenal!

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

((We have nursery (optional) then juniors & infants for 6/7 years then high school for 5 years. Then collage for 2 years then university (optional)))

*dances with him*
*keeps the pace the same*
*adds a couple twirls into the dance now and then*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Ah, yeah, see, I find it weird haha. We just have Primary is 1 to 6, High School is 7 to 12, and then University. (College is just another word for High School here).

Do it! Come to Australia! :D

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

That, was one hell of a beautiful ded, Luci. Seriously, it was really great and kinda really motivational!<3

I might avoid Bedfordshire's weird school system as to not confuse you with the rest of the country.

(might be here/might not be here)

Luciana said...

I don't know if I should go to Ireland or Australia. Maybe I should do an MA in Oz? Then it's only a year... Ugh, I don't know what to do. D;

And I have a lot of Aussie friends; I know the education system pretty well. :P
Way better than ours. -.-"

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

Amazing ded, Lucy. [hugs]

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

Hey Fabi, hey Ieni!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*responds with a twirl of his own, keeping once hand connected. Then links arms with Silente and begins turning about*

*steps back for a moment*
Ok I have my proper title now,
*bows*
Pleased to make your acquaintance!

*Pulls Silente close again and resumes dancing*

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hi, Silente!!!:)

Fabi!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
I hope you are feeling better, friend:)

Wow, I hadn't really been on the blog since Christmas and now I've been 2 days in a row?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oh, more people! Hai everyone! :3

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Not here) doing sixth form, likely to fail, even if I don't I have no idea what to do with life, maybe do university in Australia or Canada?

I feel like leaving England.

Luciana said...

Hey Ieni! *huggles* Thank you. <3

Hey Fabi *huggles* Thank you. <3

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You should all leave England and come have a big party here in Australia. Yep.

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

*grins at him*
Interesting..what is a pyromancer and a black mage?
*continues dancing*
*speeds up a tiny bit*
*raises one brow challengingly*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I'm taking you up on that offer, Matex.

One day...

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

How are you people-that-just-popped-up?

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

I probably shouldn't be here. I'm still in that weird frame of mind that comes from not enough sleep, and I don't want to accidentally start something again...

And breakfast shall be ready shortly.

[is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged]

[hugs Ieni]

A little bit better, I think, maybe? Thank you.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Well pyromancy is fire magic, I suppose in the world of SP you would say I use elemental magic but focused only on fire, and on making fire more powerful through symbols and the old magic language.
As for the Black Mage that's more of a Final Fantasy reference haha.

*Matches her speed, stepping sideways and grinning*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Fabi, that is the best frame of mind to be in. It is when the impossible becomes possible. I often don't sleep for days, and I find myself rolling around on the carpet singing songs. It is fantastic!~

*grins moving into a more complex dance*
So, fire and black mage huh. Cool.
*keeps up the speed smiling at the dances grace and difficulty*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Yesh! I am many things though. I have, in my time, been a Pirate Lord. In fact my fellow ship mate was a vampire! So I have had some experience with your kind haha.

*completely fails to keep up with elaborate dance, starts doing the Macarena*

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

*laughs at him doing the macarena*
*shakes her head at him*
*watches from the side a smile on her face*
A vampire on a ship? Oh dear I doubt that ended well...

Luciana said...

... Imp stands at thirty two chapters long. And my friend hates it because it made her cry.

And that was the unedited version.

I'm so excited to finish editing these five chapters. Omg.

Unknown said...

*blink* Ok....

Anyway. Hello, I'm a new person who loves Skulduggery Pleasant (clearly) and delights in the glorious evil that is Derek Landy.

How are you? *grins sardonically and holds out hand*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

It was fantastic, we sailed many seas and plundered many villages. I even pursued a romantic relationship with her cat.

You're right, I suppose, but if Luffy can eat the devil fruit and still be a pirate then vampires can be pirates too. (That will only make sense to people familiar with One Piece :/)

*holds out hands*
show me your dance moves, teach me your ways!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Hello Ijazz! *shakes hand enthusiastically*

@Jerry; congratulations! (sort of)

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

Hello Ijaaz! Welcome!

*raises a brow at Matex*
Very well then
*starts doing a complicated dance that involves a lot of twirling around*
*grins at him and speeds up*
*changes the dance slightly, focusing on footwork instead of twirls*
*spins around lots of times*
*comes to a sudden stop bowing low and straightening up not even out of breath*

Luciana said...

THANK YOU MATEX!

Unknown said...

*shakes hand* Yes, hello. I tend to turn into various animals when my emotions get the better of me. Which is often. *ignores disbelieing looks*

So, what is going on today?

I LOVE the title, btw. :P

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*nods at silente*
Ok, lets do that but a bit slower! :P

Eh, i'm actually not sure about this title. As far as Derek Landy naming a book, i think it's a little generic. Sure, it sounds like a 'final' title, but not so much a SP title. I'm guessing the first title he had was better.

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

The titles alright but I don't think its his best. However it does slightly terrify me..or rather the meaning behind it does.

*grins at Matex*
Why slower? Not up to my standards?

*sashays over to Ijaaz*
*smiles and shows her pointed teeth*
Hello there. Nice to meet you. Who are you?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

If anything I think everyone is just a little quick to praise him haha, he probably could have called it "Skulduggery Pleasant: The Last Book" and everyone would have said good job Derek what a great title XD

No, I'm not up to your standards (yet) :c

*places one hand on her shoulder, and with the other, holds hers, looking determined*
*slowly begins really complicated dancing*

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

*grins and follows his lead*
*looks at his determined face and holds back laughter*
*places her free hand on his hip*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

(yes that's it- wait what? No, hang on! It's meant to be my hand on your hip.. I think..)

*struggles to remember dancing lessons*

*shrugs*

oh well.

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

((Yes its meant to be guy hand on girl hip and girl hand on guy shoulder however you went for the shoulder first so we switched...as ya do.))


((BBS food))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

((Is anyone else having really strong cravings for icecream? No, just me?

I'm going to go down to McDonalds and see if their soft serve machine is fixed yet. Back soon ^_^))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

((OH MY GOD WE HAD THE SAME IDEA. FOOD <3))

Luciana said...

Ugh, it's four in the afternoon and I should be doing something but I think I want to go for a run? But I have revision and editing to do... Dammit.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Stress less Mushroom-Jerry, just go for the run, and then settle down to do some work after that! :)

Luciana said...

I'm warming to the nickname of Jerry, *laughs*. Makes me want ice cream though...


Imma play guitar - can't find my trainers. -.-"

Wbd.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

What does wbd mean? :/
Yes guitar! Acoustic or electric?
Hehe yay :)

Unfortunately their icecream machine is still broken :( but its too cold here anyway

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

Back! Cold? In Australia? Is that...natural? Also WBD=will be distant

Luciana said...

Will be distant.

ELECTRIC. With my bby amp that's not even the size of my head but freaking LOUD. I only started playing the other day, but I already love my cherry red guitar and my adorable little amp. :3
I have an acoustic as well but it's difficult for me to play because of its size and my boobage issues, haha:')

Nooooooo D;
It's never too cold for ice cream!:D

Luciana said...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

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

FROZEN IS AN AMAZING FILM!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Very natural actually :/ night times can be especially cold. Too true, it is never too cold for icecream, but none the less, I didn't get that option D':

That's cool Luciana! :)
"boobage issues" ahahahahaha!

Hi Maralie! I actually haven't seen Frozen yet :(

Maralie Lily Charm said...

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

HELLO MARA YOU'VE MADE MY AWESOME PEOPLE LIST BC FROZEN IS YOUR FAV FILM!

Luciana said...

DAMN LACK OF ICE CREAM D;

... I forget calling cleavage boobage isn't normal. I have a ridiculous amount for my tiny waist so I have a lot of issues. Especially with clothes. Ugh. But IT IS SO ANNOYING WITH GUITAR LIKE I CAN PLAY MY ACOUSTIC BUT IT JUST MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY BIG BUT THEN CHESTAGE HATES ME -.-"

I'm 90% boobage according to my friends. :I


Sorry, I'll shush. I'm being weird again.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

CONCEAL

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I've started to figure that out hahaha, we actually watched the Let It Go scene in one of my lectures a few weeks ago :')

Maralie Lily Charm said...

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

Please, I know you're in there...

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

But its only for today!
[Its only for today]
Its agony to wait!
[Its agony to waif]
Tell the guards to open up the gates!
[The gates]

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Lucy; well..
*ahem*
Consider yourself... lucky. Many girls would love your physique! :P

Don't worry about shooshing or being weird, this blogland. We are all weird. You have to be weird! :D

Maralie Lily Charm said...

people are asking where you've been...
they say have courage, and i'm trying to
i'm right out here for you,
just let me in..

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*grabs silente by the hand and begins dancing to music from Frozen*

Luciana said...

STOP MAKING ME WANT TO WATCH FROZEN I'M TRYING TO PLAY GUITAR OMG


I know, Matex, but hourglass figures aren't as fun as they're made out to be, haha.

I feel really old right now. I've probably been on Blogland longest out of everyone here omg.

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

*sings along with the music while dancing*
*manages to not lose her breath somehow*
*giggles and dances and sings*

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

We only have each other
It's just you and me
What are we gonna do...?

...

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

You could only be equally as old as me, I still remember the very first post :)

Luciana said...

I've been a Bloglandian for over two years that's terrifying

Maralie Lily Charm said...

jade thirlwall: turning girls lesbian since 1992


if elsa was real tho i'd be as straight as a circle

Maralie Lily Charm said...

ALL MY LIFE HAS A SERIES OF DOORS IN MY FACE
AND THEN SUDDENLY I BUMPED INTO YOUUUUU

Dragona Pine said...

Hello.

Dragona Pine said...

I've been in Blogland for above five years.

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

I was thinking the same thing because
I've been searching my whole life to find my own place
And maybe its the party talking or the chocolate fondue

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Lucy you're young in my eyes XD
*leaps to and fro with silente, still not out of breath, luckily*

Hi Dragona! :D

Luciana said...

THANK THE GOLDEN GOD I AM NO LONGER OLD WOOOO


*cartwheels*

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

Hey dragona!

*huggles close to Matex still dancing and singing*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*looks on in awe at Lucy's cartwheels*

*continues dancing, but lets Silente do the singing* ;P

Maralie Lily Charm said...

wow i'm weird k

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

"thank the golden god"

I like this phrase. I'm going to use that. :)

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

*leans onto Matex's chest swaying and dancing*
*smiles still singing along*

Luciana said...

*sits cross legged by the laje*

I wish there was a physical place in reality that was exactly like Blogland. With Chester and everything. With this lake. With our magic. Being a Necromancer would be really cool. My magic would be in my boots and I would kick some serious ass...

Luciana said...

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Lucy I love hour glasses. *stares intently at sand draining through an hour glass*
Mmmm yeah!

@Silente *ruffles her hair playfully* by the way do you use serum, orrr?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*applauds Maralie*

Luciana said...

I WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY DANCE DANCE BUT IT IS PRETTY COMPLICATED D;

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

We could have a physical place called blogland but then we couldn't all be there at the same time... yeah, reality sucks.

Luciana said...

Hour glasses are pretty. But as a figure? Ugh. I don't get why they're so desirable. There are no clothes made for hourglass figures!

Probably why I love corsets so much... *shrugs*

*lays down and stares at the sky*

I should be editing.

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

I use a special brand. I'm allergic to the hemlock in the normal one I have to use my special one. Its weaker and has a couple side effects but otherwise its about the same.

*smiles at him*
*tickles him for ruffling her hair*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

big summer blowout

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

*lays in grass*

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

Hey zaf!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I dunno, corsets sound nice enough, but what would I know. There is a big difference between liking someone's figure and actually having to put up with having that figure aha.

What sort of boots would you have? Combat/work boots or like, stylish ones?

Luciana said...

I want a Blogland irl that we can all hangout at and just have fun. I mean, can you imagine campfires with everyone here?! We'd sing so many weird songs! (Lots of Frozen and I would insist upon Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy) AND THE CANDY WARS OH MY GOD

Luciana said...

*laughs* Corsets are fabulous. Maybe they make up for the lack of other clothes... I think they do. I love corsets.

THIGH HIGHS. BLACK THIGH HIGHS.
My black thigh highs are my favourites. I wouldn't trade them for the world, oh my god. :3

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Herro Zaffy! :3

*squirms in Silente's arms*
I'm ticklish :(

Oh, fairenough. What sort of side effects?

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

Hi msd...

Luciana said...

Hey Zaf!

Sorry, guitar is distracting me. Only half paying attention to comments. X

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Lucy my respect for you just sky rocketed. Singing Panic and FOB? *dies of happiness*
that would be a dream.

Ah, nice boots haha! Between those and corsets you would have a great style.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

i really want to make a remix of little mix, tich, avril lavigne, demi, 5sos, cher lloyd and one direction omg it would be the most beautiful thing ever

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

*tickles him more grinning down at him*
Side effects may include: wearing of during the day, itchy, headaches, mood swings, powers weakening slightly. It doesn't always work depending how close to the change I am. And by wearing of during the day I mean the beast can stir during the day sometimes.

Dragona Pine said...

If anyone missed it/is interested, I've started a new series of SP fanfic. It's about a secret order and stuff.


http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk

Luciana said...

PANIC AND FOB AND ATL AND MCR ARE MY BABIES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

*laughs* I have only two pairs of thigh highs, but I've got about twenty corsets. They're my favourite things to wear, corsets. But sometimes I feel a little like Elizabeth Swann...

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*can't keep up the dance due to being tickled*
aha, probably not the best side effects!

You my dear Lucy have exceptional taste. Rest In Peace MCR :'(

Luciana said...

Thank you, my darling~

MCR make me so sad because they're so perfect but then they split and that's not okay because now I'm not o-fucking-kay.

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

I dedicate this page to Blogland. Blogland is our home, the place we can talk with other crazy people and discus our views and personal opinions. Its the place where we make friendships with each other and find help if we need it or we can use to to waste time or procrastinate or just to escape reality. Blogland is the best place I know and so that's what I dedicate this page to.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

and then here's me loving little mix and tich and avril lavigne and one direction and five seconds of summer and demi lovato and cher lloyd sigh

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

I'm no okay is a great song. I like thank you for the venom mostly I think. So sad that they broke up!

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

*stops tickling Matex*
Yeah. Their not the best but I live with them.
*hands start shuddering slightly*
Speaking off.
*fumbles around in a hidden pocket*
