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.

Umm no Annika that will be fine thank you.
*makes a painful expression*
I don't know Krestel. See I just, I just left her there with my rabid dog. She'll be fine he only ever mutilates his victims if I don't feed him. But he was very naughty last night and so I sent him to bed without...without...supper.

Star Inkbright said...

I'm really crap at decisions, Zaf, sorry . . . D:

Literally, notoriously bad.

I don't know, I'm sorry.

But at least I'm not lying to make a decision. :)

Greetings, Ms. Barnosky, Ms. LeStarre, Ms. Fabienne, Ms. Effie, Ms. Frost, Ms. Inkbright, Ms. Scáth, and Ms. Kerias, as well as any and all Ms.'s that I Ms.'d.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*rolls eyes at Star*
Fine.
*unties from tree*
*grins*

*glares at Veronica*
What the hell is wrong with you? Take me there. Now.

Raven Astracae said...

Hah sir..Ms.'d

I'm like killing myself laughing!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Don't kill yourself, Veronica. At the moment I want that pleasure for myself.

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

*curls up under tree a bit nervous*

Raven Astracae said...

Okay Krestel, I will take you there..but first I need to know what discipline you study.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*slow claps for the . . . pun?*
*not quite certain what it was*
*but it was quite good*

Star Inkbright said...

YAAAAAAAAAAY!

*hugs Kes*
*jumps around, enjoying not being tied up*
*realises I'm generally not tied up* *shrugs* *continues jumping*

Sir said...

I do regret that I missed a second pun there, it was quite possible to use "Mrs." instead of "Ms.'s".

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

[Effie stands hurriedly]

Of course.

[She hurries over to the desk]

I was wondering... Well, multiple things actually.

[Clears her throat]

[Adjusts her sunglasses]

Firstly, is there a Jade Hahn staying at this hotel?

And if there is, does she have an incomplete set of blue stationary? Missing at least three envelopes?

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

(XD)

(HI SIR)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*frowns*
Jade Hahn would be in Room 3, the gamma room, yes. But I know nothing about any stationary.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*bounces around with Star*
*stops self from lyric spamming the song Bounce by The Cab*


I'm a sigilist. Why? *allows symbols to show themselves*

Raven Astracae said...

Hmm puns. The wits of....The wits of the....
Oh idk the wits of the whatever.

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

*there is a blinding flash*
*appears as the flash is fading*
*smiles warmly at everyone*
Hello people. Did ya miss me?

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Tempest.

Luciana said...

I AM DONE FOR TONIGHT
Two chapters to go.


Hey Sir.

Watching HPCoS wbd.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Hullo, Silente. Welcome.

Raven Astracae said...

Um..well Krestel
*gestures to the door*
Let's go for a walk to my place then...ill call my teleported to take us to your girlfriend.

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

[Looks shocked] Really? I didn't think she'd still be using that name. Cool! Could I potentially see her?

[Pauses]

Gamma room? Like gamma rays?

Star Inkbright said...

DON'T STOP YOURSELF LYRIC SPAMMING, KES!
I LIKE READING LYRIC SPAMS, AND ALSO, IF OTHER PEOPLE LYRIC SPAM, IT MEANS I'M ALLOWED TO DO IT TO
MWAHAHAHAHA

The wits of the wits. *nods wisely*

#ChaseForBookNine

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hi, Storm! *waves*

*stares at Veronica*
After you.
*surreptitiously draws knife*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gamma room, like gamma, the letter. It resembles an inverted L.
*nods*
She is indeed staying here, or at any rate, a woman with the same name is. Feel free to go up to her room; it is of no difference to me.

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: No. In fact, I think I almost forgot you.
KIDDING!

We're planning on buying Frozen, btw. :O
I haven't watched it yet, soooooooooo.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH, EVERYONE LIKES FROZEN
MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF BLOGLANDIANS, PEOPLE AT SCHOOL, AND . . . UM . . .
WELL, THAT'S REALLY EVERYONE I KNOW, SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE FOR ME. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

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

*waves to kes*
How are you all?

*wonders why kes is threatening someone with a knife*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Star, once I start I won't stop. I'm going to save it for one big giant lyric spam(probably n the 29th. Because reasons.)

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

Oh, right. [nods] I knew that.

Where would I find this room? I'm not very good at using the Force as a floor plan. Not enough arrows and labels.

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

Yes star! Buy frozen! Watch it! Enjoy it! Do it!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

STAR, FROZEN IS AWESOME. THAT IS WHY.

Storm, Kestrel is threatening someone with a knife because that person happens to have kidnapped my GIRLFRIEND and left her alone with a RABID DOG.

Star Inkbright said...

It may take me a while to adjust to calling you Clara, Annika, but I SHALL do it.
If I can call Fabi Lantern and Luciana Mushroom and Cain Zaiya, then I can easily call you Clara.
WATCH ME GO
*stands there watching self go*
*realises I can't go anywhere if I'm standing there watching*
*hmm*
*oh, dear*
*CONUNDRUM*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*rolls eyes*
Merely ascend the left hand staircase, turn right, follow the hallway, past six doors, then turn left, then right again, then left, past three doors, then to the left again and past four doors, then just past the lavatory is Room 3.
Honestly.

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

WTF WHO DOES THAT? BAD PERSON!
*scowls at them*

Raven Astracae said...

*takes 5 paces to the right as she walks outside*
*waits for Krestel to step into the binding circle before sprinting by and shackling her*
Well,
*draws a gun*
I actually don't know who your girlfriend is but eh! I had you there. I did however, spend 150 years in prison for attempted murder. So, care to come for a walk down the lake.
*draws gun to th back a pushes Krestek as she starts to walk*

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

(Hello Tempest!)

((Hello Silente.))

Star Inkbright said...

@Kes: Even YOU like it! :O
(See? I go along through life and then suddenly Luci and you like it as well and I'm like :O)
(SO MANY PEOPLE)
(AND THEN EVEN MORE PEOPLE O_O)

Star Inkbright said...

BRB!

#ChaseForBookNine

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

(Hello Effie)
((Hello Effie))
(Not sure why you said hey twice but okay!)
(Kes....do you need help again?)

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

Zaffy should just go *sighs* yeah...probably

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

Why should Zaffy go?

Raven Astracae said...

No, Silente. I do not believe Krestel needs any help at all. She is perfectly fine currently unconscious in my house in Antarctica.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*stomps foot, using symbol on the the bottom of my sole to deactivate whatever it is I'm surrounded by*

*stabs back at Veronica's stomach with knife*

Bad idea.

Zaf, you wouldn't mind helping me out, would you? I mean, it'd play hell with the Sanctuary's organization if I were kidnapped.

STAR, HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT YET?! O.O

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

Are you underestimating my coolness, Ms. Crowley? Because I think you're underestimating my coolness!

[storms off up the left hand staircase]

[turns right]

[follows the hallway]

[passes six doors]

[turns left]

[turns right again]

[turns left]

[passes four doors]

[passes the lavatory]

[reaches room 3]

[hesitates]

Hopefully she doesn't want to kill me.

[knocks]

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

Er....are you sure about that veronica...that doesn't SOUND fine...not fine at all...

The Grave of a Coward said...

*leans heavily on the check-in desk and sighs*
*it's been a long day*
*with a lot of people in her hotel*
*and an incident with roses*

*whispers* I have not seen Frozen.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*is mildly impressed that Effie managed to remember all that*

*shanks Annika with a hammer*

*waves at Storm* I'm fine. It's this idiot who should be worried.

Raven Astracae said...

*looks down at stomach*
*lets the blood trickle through her fingers*
I'm, I'm so sorry that that..
*passes out*
*taken away by the teleporter*

Luciana said...

I want to finish editing but I'm too tired. :|

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

(Because I'm me.)

((And I'm Fabi. Effie is one of my characters, and she prefers to call you Tempest for some reason.))

(No, I'm one of my characters. I just share Fabi's brain. And I'm gonna casually ignore the fact that she created me in the first place because I'm just cool like that.))

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

CLARA STAR I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU HAVE AVOIDED WATCHING FROZEN!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*clutches stomach*
*blood begins to drip*
*whispers* How rude.
*collapses*

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

(See! Kestrel is impressed, because she's really smart and uses the Force. Also because I'm awesome!)

((Effie...))

(What?)

((...never mind.))

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

((Okay then Effie and Fabi. That's fine. Hey Fabio!))

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Annika, you shouldn't be bleeding...
It was the wooden end...


*stares after where Veronica disappeared. Well then. And after I thought that I was finally making progress.

Raven Astracae said...

*wakes up back at her room in the hotel*
*walks down the stairs*
*hands her guns and machete into Annika*
I'm so sorry, everyone, I didn't mean to draw a gun on Kes. I wont do it again. I have had an extremely tough day and it all started when my on,y white dress was ruined I just don't know what to do. It was a really good dress. It will be missed.
*sends pitying looks around the room to everyone*

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

(Oh dear, I seem to be missing a lot. Fabi is multitasking a lot. So sorry if I seem to be ignoring something.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*leaps to my feet*
I am okay! It was the wooden end!
*confiscates the guns and machete*
*makes them disappear in a cheap slight-of-hand trick*

Calidae Dark said...

* appears in a purple cloud of smoke * Hola

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

*moves towards Veronica *
HELLO STRANGER!
*looks veronica up and down*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*shrieks*
Ah! No multi-colored smoke in my lobby!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

HI CALI
*waves*

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

[Effie knocks on the door]

[No one answers]

[She glances around]

[Then pulls out her set of lock picks, illusioning them to look like a set of make-up]

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

Hello Calidae.

Hello Stranger!
Is Krestel your friend? I'm so sorry about that incident.
*inspects herself up and down*
*inspects Silente*
*realises she is still bleeding*
I'm sorry, you wouldn't happen to know a doctor would you?

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

Oh? I'm needed. Huh. Shocking.

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

*stares at the blood*
*getting a little transfixed*
*moves closer to veronica still staring at the blood*
*arms shaking*
Er....doctor?....no....

Raven Astracae said...

Oh okay then.
*glances down again*
Hah, I never knew blood matched this dress so perfectly.
*smiles meekly*
Well ar..think fast.
*falls as dead weight into his arms*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*sees Storm*
*realizes what's happening*

Storm. Step away from the blood.
*has better control, but not by much*

Raven Astracae said...

Or her arms???i. Sorry i do not know.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Such strangeness, such strangeness in my lobby.

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

[She works quickly at the lock, then opens the door]

[The room is empty of all lifeforms]

((I made a list of things for Effie to find... Now if I can only locate where I put it..)

Dragona Pine said...

Back dog making noise again.


Am I the only one who gets frustrated when they attempt to draw something? I know what I want to draw. I know how to draw it. But then my hand just turns it into something which doesn't look anything like what it was supposed to be, and if there are people I draw they look misshapen and deformed no matter what I do. The only things I can draw are weapons and vehicles. I can't even draw any vehicles or weapons I like. My drawing skill is horrible but if I chopped my hand off and got a robotic replacement which did as it was told I'd be awesome.

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

Maybe I am better off leaving. Yeah nobody needs me

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

((Her. Not his. Her. And not the best idea...*points to name* *points to vampire part*))

*catches veronica*
*continues staring at the blood*
*moves towards Clara*
*is shivering slightly*
*can't tear her eyes away from the wound*
Could you....help.....Clara?

Raven Astracae said...

Yes dragona. The only thing I can draw is knives and guns.

Well, now I just sound deranged.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Dragona, nope :) That happens with me all the time :)

*is just barely holding self away from the blood*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*looks at vampire*
*looks at blood*
*looks back at vampire*
IamsoveryverysorrybutIhaveabsolutelynomedicaltrainingwhatsoever.

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

*speaking to Clara*
Please.....
*still shivering while holding her*
*still staring at the wound*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Veronica, that is...slightly worrying...


No, Zaf! Stay! Come save us all from the evil vampire that Storm is becoming!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*knows there's only one thing I can do to prevent disaster*
. . . Silente.
Set the body down. Nice and gentle.
Trust me.

Calidae Dark said...

yeeaahhh slightly confused... maybe I'll just sink back into a corner over here...

Dragona Pine said...

*watches the scene with mild amusement*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

I has to go, byeee!

Raven Astracae said...

*put all energy into lifting her eyelids*
My phone...get my phone.
*rolls head stares right into the vampires eye sockets*
Cal..call the teleported he'll take me to a do..doctor.
*slumps head slight*
Please try to refrain from turning me in the meantime.
*manages a stuff laugh before going out cold*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Goodbye, Kestrel-my-Kestrel.

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

*nods*
*puts veronica down on the desk*
*still staring at her*
*backs away shivers covering her body*
*still staring*

Raven Astracae said...

Bye Krestel!!

Star Inkbright said...

BACK!

I have not watched Frozen.

I happen to be someone who can, um, kind of draw.

*coughs*

Well, I drew Kes's profile picture.

And Zaf's profile picture.

WHY ARE PEOPLE SO NICE TO MY DRAWINGS ANYWAY? O_O

Anyway . . . the thing is, I just kind of drift off and then just spend ages rubbing out and redrawing to try and make something look correct, so I would call it less skill and more patience and practise.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*yanks the pull chain*
*and Silente finds herself on the lawn once again*


*looks down at Veronica*
Let's get you to your room. I think you need rest.

Dragona Pine said...

I'll stick with aura wallpapers. I can make them.

Star Inkbright said...

And when I go wrong on my felt tip productions, I get a little bit of paper and stick it over the mistake and colour over it, and when the artwork is photographed, you barely notice . . . XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Calidae Dark said...

@star I'm the same :)

I'm not nearly as good as you. But thats still what I do.

Raven Astracae said...

*teleporter comes in before Silente can have any more time to sink her teeth into me*
*awke back in the hotel, teleported is on the bed*
*stumble down to the lobby*
Thank-you Silente. You saved me. Well, sort of the doctor saved me, but hey! You helped.

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

*stands shakily*
*walks away from the hotel*
*fumbles around in her pocket*
*finds what she is looking for and relaxes slightly*
*looks down at her slightly bloody clothes*
*injects herself and goes off to her tree house*

((Excuse me zaf but who carried you through the wood to Javier after running away crying thinking you were dead? Mmmhmmmm.))

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

(Uh...Silente I'm in character

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

((Then never mind..))

Raven Astracae said...

*turns to the desk*
So Annika is this hotel good business to be in??

The Grave of a Coward said...

It's enormously satisfying for me, yes.
*nods politely*
I enjoy it.

Raven Astracae said...

So, whats the issue with violence here then? Just tonight I've had to draw a gun and got myself stabbed!

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

*changes into a clean T-shirt and skinny jeans*
*slips on her combat boots*
*throws the blood streaked clothes into a fire*
*leaves her tree house and goes back to the hotel*
*probably not going to eat anyone*

Dragona Pine said...

I have to go now, bye!


If any of you have a spare... One and a half minutes, I'd appreciate some feedback on my story. It's new and yeah I haven't done a SP story in ages.

http://orderofthebasilisk.blogspot.co.uk

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

Bye dragona!

Raven Astracae said...

Umm Silente?
How shall I repay the favour that you gave me. You played a part in saving my life do you want money or???

The Grave of a Coward said...

Violence is not the answer. Violence is a question, and the answer is far more terrible still.
*points to the NO VIOLENCE sign*

A rule?

. . . a guideline.

As long as no harm comes to my guests or to myself, I am fine.

Raven Astracae said...

Okay...so getting stabbed across the stomach,
Is that your guest getting hurt or is it merely a flesh wound??

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

Favour? I stared at you in my arms and nearly started to eat you...I don't think that counts as a favour...
*looks a little uncomfortable*
*and concerned that veronica may be crazy*

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

[Effie scours the room and finds a set of blue stationary missing six envelopes]

Six. Three out of six. Okay.

[She looks around some more, that is to say, in the trash can]

[Lots of Kleenex]

[And wrappers from energy bars]

[and a blonde wig that looks as though it has been torn apart by a cat]

[So basically, nothing useful]

[Effie hurriedly leaves the room, carefully locking the door behind her]

[She returns to the lobby]

I finally found the room, but Ms. Hahn appears to be out. Do you have any idea where she may have gone?

The Grave of a Coward said...

I should clarify.
As long as no harm comes to myself or guests who don't complain about their rooms,
I am fine.

*a rocking guitar riff plays in the background*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Why, Ms. Hahn left a few hours ago, to meet someone in town. Did I fail to mention that?
*raises eyebrow*

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

*sits by lake, upset* Whats getting into me?! *sighs* I hate this....*just stays in my corner, knowing how unwanted I truly am*

Raven Astracae said...

Ummmm...well.
The point is Silente, you didn't eat me.
*takes a step back and messiest up her hair, tries not to look too delicious*
So yeah Thank-you for..not eating me.
You are the nicest vampire I have ever met in this hotel
*mumbles something about the only vampire I've met in this hotel but smiles at Silente anyways*
Man! *i say to myself* she thinks I'm crazy.

Star Inkbright said...

@Calidae: I'm not really that good, and things look better when they're smaller and less visible. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

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

[No, you know perfectly well you didn't, you little--]

[Effie, you're in her hotel, you don't want to say that. You're too cool to stoop to her level]

No, I don't believe you mentioned. Did she say when she'd be back?

Star Inkbright said...

Oscar: Violence is not the answer.

Gary: Said the CEO of the criminal underworld.

Oscar: Violence is the QUESTION.
The answer is hug it out over a bowl of Skittles.
You heard it here first. You. Me. Skittles. No hugs, though, I never hug albinos.

*nods at Annika*

Star Inkbright said...

Effie is very cool. C:

Raven Astracae said...

*scowls at Annika*
*glances thankfully to silente*
*walks out of the hotel*
*sees Zaf by the lake*
Why hello there! Have we formally met?

The Grave of a Coward said...

It was none of my business, so I refrained from asking. And she didn't tell me who she was meeting, either.

*shakes her head at the taller, older looking woman*
*shrugs and wanders around slightly*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*facepalms*

This is the nature of my mind;
I do not remember if I actually wrote that.
But I probably did,
because it is ridiculous, and the sort of thing Oscar and Gary would say.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: Okay . . . :( *hugs*
I'm sorry . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

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

((I'm sorry you feel that way, Zaf. See you.))

Raven Astracae said...

((Why thankyou for enlightening me Silente))

Star Inkbright said...

@Annika: You DID write it.

*taps my memory, which is CRAP CRAP CRAP for organisational things and for remembering to pay attention but is fabulous for things like grammar rules and cool segments of stories, whatever form they be in*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*whatever form the stories be in, that is*
*segments?*
*I like tangerine segments*

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Oh...hi....*looks confused*

Raven Astracae said...

Goodnight everyone!
I am in England this is not my usual time zone and I am jet lagged. I shall assume a walking position and then make my way to bed. Goodnight, to all my friends.
*even to those friends who currently do not feel like I am the appropriate guest in their hotel i wish you goodnight too.*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Then I feel more fabulous than I felt five minutes ago, Star.
*presents her with the roses once again*
*looks nervously around for the original intended recipient*
*hoping he won't be offended*
*those roses do not seem like his sort of thing, anyway*

Star Inkbright said...

@Veronica: Okay. :)
Fours!

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Very well then. If she returns, would you be so kind as to give her my card?

[She pulls out a library card and holds it out toward Clara]

[Looks down]

[Frowns]

[Swaps it with a business card~ Brenna Ninjeranium, collector of all things with purple daisies on them.]

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

((Your welcome?))

*wonders who the angry looking person talking to Clara is*
*sits down and watches out of the corner of her eye*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Why thank you, Veronica.
*bows*
It is all in good fun, I assure you.

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

(G'bye Veronica!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Annika: *stares at roses, trying to work out how to hug them without crushing them*
*carefully places roses in a vase and hugs the vase instead*

Oh yes, I know!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*takes the business card*

I'll be sure to do so.

((Bye veronica. Also enjoy/welcome to england!))

Star Inkbright said...

Purple daisies! :)

There I go, forgetting to call you Clara again>
*facepalm*

SHUT UP. DON'T START MOCKING ME YET. I SHALL DO THIS. I SHALL DO THIS.

Hunter swears he can write better than me because I can't write, but the thing is, in order for him to write he has to do it through me as he's, um, in my head, so he can't actually write either, haha. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

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

It'd be appreciated.

[Starts to tip her hat]

[Realizes she isn't wearing a hat]

[tips her sunglasses instead]

[Under the sunglasses, her eyes are really really bright neon blue.]

Good day to you, young Jedi.

[Turns to go]

The Grave of a Coward said...

That's quite alright, Star. I don't expect everyone to suddenly begin calling me Clara. You may continue calling me Anni, if you wish to.

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: YES!

ENGLAND IS COOL!

On the journeys to and from my mini-holiday, I went past Bedford and Derby and Rotherham and I was just D: MISSED OPPORTUNITIES.

@Clara: NO
I SHALL DO THIS.

Ah, what's up, Zaf?

I often wish I lived in England, as my speech pattern may attest.
*sighs*
I don't talk quite this exact way in real life, but I speak very similarly. I grew up reading a lot of very old books, and having very few friends, so this is how I learned vocabulary, basically.

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

Does anyone actually want me around or should I assume my usual place in a corner bored?

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: :( . . .
I'm sorry.
It's a bit shit to just say that, beacsue it doesn't really do anything, but I don't know what else to do. If you can tell me what else to do, though, I'll do it, within reason, ALTHOUGH I can't roleplay now because I should be asleep and I will probably go soonish so . . .

On that note, msd, and I am going soonish!

@Silente: Yeah, we're very cool. XD

((I'm sorry you feel that way, Zaf.))

No, Star, don't leave me!

[Effie exits the hotel, her hair shifting to blue-black and shortening as she exits]

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

Nothing Taia I'm just miserable today.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Effie! Pleased to meet you. I'm just rereading book 4 to see if Landy's hidden any references to book 9.

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

*decides not to follow Effie*
*rushes outside*
*hugs zaf* (eww....hugs)
What da ya wanna talk about? Or do?

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

((Your hair changes colour and height?! Are you an evil spy? Your eyes were blue...are you like dragona?))

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Calidae! :(

I want you around, Zaf. :)
I'm good at forgetting to respond to people, though.
My memory - good at grammar and cool things, bad at organisation and remembering people.
And keeping in touch with people. :/
It's good at remembering things I'm stressing about, though. :)

@Clara: Me and my sister grew up reading books, but that just means we pronounce(d) tons of words incorrectly because we only know them through reading them. XD
I've got better as I've got older and heard more words. She's currently being terrible at pronunciation. :)

@Tia: THAT QUOTE. D':
*almost starts crying because of Ezter*
*someone remind me to include that in my writing?*

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

Doesn't matter Silente I just didn't have a very great day.

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

*sits next to her*
Talk me through it then. I'm all ears!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Ah, I see, Zaf. I've been feeling pretty bad myself over the past month or so. I just don't know what it is. Nothing seems to make me happy.

So I'm killing time with music and films and books.

And odd bits of revision.

Star Inkbright said...

(I ship Ezter as moirails.
All the best people ship them like that.
If anyone dares hip them romantically, I won't mind and will half support you with it but they will be quite annoyed.
Well, they might be half annoyed and half amused.
But it does get wearying, after a while. They KEEP ON HAVING to explain to people that they don't like each other in that way and NO ONE EVER BELIEVES THEM and it's just like - *headdesk*)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

(Pleased to meet you as well, Tia!)

((I should probably mention that this here with the double parentheses is Fabi, and Effie is one of my characters.))

(Aw, don't spoil it, Fabigail! D:)

(My hair does whatever I want it to because I am cool, Silente. And no, I am not especially much like Dragona.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*strokes chin*
I think the only ship I've written (for Blogland) is Osmosis.

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

(But are you an evil spy? You never answered THAT question...*looks at her suspiciously*)

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: :(
My friend C said once you should actually prefer bad days, because it means that tomorrow will be better.
There are flaws in this argument, but still . . . I hope tomorrow IS better. :)

@Tia: :( *hugs* I hope things improve for you, as well. :)
Maybe if you stop dwelling on the problem, you'd stop thinking there is a problem . . . ?
Really hard to do, but I'm crap at advice. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Oh, shouldn't it be #ChaseForDyingOfTheLight

Star Inkbright said...

@Clara: I've only written one ship, I think, and they don't even like being shipped.
So yah. XD

@Silente: Hunter would say that evil spies are cool.
He would say that the good ones are just a bit pathetic.
Actually, 'pathetic' is his word for me now, so he would probably reword it to 'rubbish' or something.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

REWIND


STAR YOU WENT THROUGH ROTHERHAM?!

I SINCERELY APOLOGISE. THIS TOWN IS A WRECK. I MEAN I LOVE MY HOMETOWN BECAUSE IT IS MY HOMETOWN BUT THIS PLACE IS AWFUL AND I AM VERY SORRY YOU WERE FORCED TO TRAVEL THROUGH THIS SHIT HOLE OF A TOWN X

Star Inkbright said...

@Tia: Writing #ChaseForBookNine at the end of my comments is as automatic for me as doing up my seatbelt when I get in a car, so I'd rather not change it unnecessarily, if it's all the same to you. :)

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

I hope I just was down today. I think it was because today was supposed to be my last day before break but my stupid school took it away and blergh

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

((Evil spies are cool. However every spy is evil it just depends on the point of view of the person who is talking about the spy. After all most bad guys do something because it will help in some way and so to the bad guys the god guys are the bad guys ish as the good guys spies would be bad guys.))

The Grave of a Coward said...

Ah, I know the feeling, Luciana. I too live in a shameful town.

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

(Well... I don't know your perspective on what is evil. Or your definition of spy, for that matter. So I can't really answer that. I certainly don't consider myself evil, but it may be best for you to form your own judgement. And spy is really stretching things. Although if I were one, I wouldn't tell you, presumably. Perhaps you'd better not trust anything I say, just as a precaution.)

(Fabi has created two ships, both entirely by accident. Romance is not her strong suit, apparently.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: I didn't go THROUGH it, but I went past it, I think . . .
Not that close, I don't think. :/

I'd need the road map, though. :)

Ha, though - my mum, every now and then, she says about when her and my dad were moving to somewhere in Holland (I think they were already in Holland and moving to somewhere else in Holland), and she said she didn't want to live in Rotterdam, because Rotterdam is seen as being really, you know, not great, and my dad was just like, Sally, you're from Hull. XD
I mean, my mum thinks Hull is just great and over our mini-holiday, during which we stayed with her friend in Milton Keynes, she was advertising it every five seconds and whenever someone mentioned anything she'd mention Hull and an aspect of how great it was (trying to make them come stay with us. XD), but Hull is seen as pretty crap, haha. XD

(Hmmm...yes...maybe...)

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

I'm shipped but....*shrugs*

Luciana said...

... Rotherham has the highest term pregnancy rates in the country and is one of the worst towns for obesity... :|

I'm not even gonna start on the crimes. Drugs and murder and rape are not cheerful things to discuss at all. :/

(I should probably also mention, there can be more than two sides.)

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

[Effie shifts back into the appearance that matches the picture Fabi drew for her. Aka my current profile picture.]

[She checks the time]

[Nowhere near six]

[She sighs]

Well, then. I'll have to find something to keep me busy... Any ideas?

Luciana said...

*groans*

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

*continues to watch Effie*
*starts thinking about how weird her appearance shifting is*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I know this is getting annoying but can anyone recommend a good Internet radio station (along with a good app to listen to it on)

I crave music

I ded to skittles because taste the rainbow

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

((Why am I not asleep?! Its nearly midnight! I should be sleeping! Okay Msd.. or might not Sd))

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

Nope? No ideas? Huh.

[She goes into the town and buys some ice cream]

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: :(
Well, it's Easter soon, so . . .
*turns her frown upside-down (I never understand that seeing as how frowns are made of eyebrows and smiles are made of mouths) and paints it in chocolate*

@evil spies: I don't believe in evil. Neither does Hunter, I think, although he can overlook that.
As for definition of spy - MY MUM. Honestly, we will all be sitting there in the campervan, and she'll be sat there with a book open but she'll just be looking out of the window and telling us about all the other people on the campsite, like how this family has four kids and you can tell they're used to playing together, or how the man who was taking all the bikes to go on the bike ride was doing it all by himself and the kids weren't helping and if they were really eager to go on the bikeride, they would be, because you know, when you're really rearing to go and enthusiastic you do, and they all had shiny new equipment and Specialised bikes and then she noticed they had special biking suits so she reckoned they were one of those families who went around doing bike tours every weekend, and also she noticed another man cleaning his Land Rover, which she thought was just sad, and how he probably did it every weekend, but then she realised what a thorough clean he was giving it so she thought that maybe he just did it once a month or summat. And this other family was watching football on the TV, which she thought was just sad, but then of course my brother and dad were trying to work out who was winnign and stuff which was annoying because we were in the middle of playing a game. XD

Anyway
yeah.

She will just sit there and tell you stuff about everyone. XD She says it's not spying, it's just being observant, and that if she wasn't telling us it, just storing it up in her head, we wouldn't think it was spying, but. XD
