Tom Percival has blessed us with another stunning cover for Armageddon Outta Here, and this time it's something extra-special — a wraparound masterpiece...
We're going to release this as a poster for the bookstores, and we're planning on making it available to you guys too — hopefully along with all the other posters. I'll keep you, ahem, posted...
Heheheheheheh.
Oh, and as for who exactly everyone IS on that cover... you'll just have to read the stories to find out.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4949 Newer› Newest»I would like to dedicate this page to Tom Percival.
Hear hear.
That's true. Plenty of sorcerers have wheelchairs. Look at Professor X. Or Doctor Precocious. Precocious was in a wheelchair for years, and look how sane she turned out.
*nods at Annika* See?
You want me to levitate you, Zaf?
You have a wheelchair LEFT, Silente.
#ChaseForBookNine
I can't do that...*sighs* Why can't he just give me movement back in my arms?!
Sanity is boring.
Wheelchairs are also boring.
*frowns* There's a correlation here . . .
DON'T GET A WHEELCHAIR, ZAF.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: Have you tried asking nicely?
#ChaseForBookNine
You don't like the word right, do you, Hunter?
Yes she did. She even said please..
Although he's been subdued the last few times he's come on. That's good at least..
*opens a document on MacBook*
*begins writing*
*while still keeping an eye on the comment thread*
I don't NOT like it, Mithria. But everyone else LOVES it. They use it ALL THE TIME. Left gets left out. :(
#ChaseForBooknine
@Silente: Has she tried asking nastily?
#ChaseForBookNine
*turns around at the sound of her name*
A- Annika?
*sees a silhouette drop to its knees, slipping in and out of the shadows as the streetlights flicker, and then go out all together*
Annika!
*hears a quiet sobbing over the light patter of rain on cobblestone street*
Annika- I'm so sorry.
So, so sorry...
*gazes into the darkness for moment more, breath catching, and with a stifled sob, turns quickly, and runs down the street, tears mixing with the rain on her cheeks*
Whispers: Farewell, Annika...
*leaving street in empty darkness, and the gentle patter of rain on the cobblestone street*
#ChaseForBook9
I don't think so... you just used it twice in a sentence! :)
(Wait, you got over me that quick? I TAKE IT ALL BACK! :P)
#ChaseForBook9
@Mithria: I have to use it excessively, you see, to make up for everyone else. *nods*
*waves briefly to Taia as she runs past*
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm not sure..yes yes she asked natily then nicely.
*gasps*
I can . . . I can still hear her . . . her voice . . !
*turns and looks*
*but she's nowhere to be seen*
*begins to weep silently*
Now I know I have a heart . . .
because I can feel it . . .
breaking . . .
Ah... *nods at Hunter*
I see. I will try to use it more often, if that helps. :)
@Annika: So now you don't have a heart anymore.
*shrugs*
They're overrated anything. They bleed too much when they bleed.
#ChaseForBookNine
THANK you, Mithria! *looks delighted*
#ChaseForBookNine
Aaaaaaaaand I've gotta go now... Dinner and stuff. Not sure if I can come back...
If I can't: See you next week!!
*pulls everyone into a gigantic group hug*
*jumps down and hesitates near annika*
*awkwardly hugs her*
Er...there there? Its okay.. she'll be back?
One cannot bleed enough. One can only bleed too much.
Bye Mir! Enjoy France!
See you soon, Mithria!
*frowns at Annika* Uh, no?
When you just bleed ENOUGH, it's cool.
#ChaseForBookNine
*presses a finger to Hunter's lips*
Stop trying to muddle my philosophy with your logic.
*almost breaks her finger automatically, but catches self and merely moves it away*
Muddled philosophy is the best, though, Annika.
#ChaseForBookNine
I disagree. But let's leave that question to the philosophers.
*whispers* don't touch hunter..
*stands and pokes annika*
So you better?
Well enough, Silente
*nods* good then.
*grins* so..got any adventures in mind? Oh wait what's your discipline?
I'm sorry, I just realized I forgot to add a period on the end of that last comment. A cardinal sin. I apologize.
My discipline is good elocution.
. . .
Oh, you meant my magic discipline. I am but a humble Energy-Thrower.
@Annika: If you say so.
#ChaseForBookNine
Energy thrower.. energy thrower..
((I've completely forgotten what an energy thrower is :( ))
You used your powers here yet?
I haven't had much of an occasion to, no.
(An Energy-Thrower is, and bear with me, as I may butcher this definition, it is a sorcerer who, I believe, if I am not entirely mistaken, throws energy.)
((Wow that's such a great explaination.))
Want a chance to use your powers?
Why not?
*claps an arm around Silente's shoulders*
That sounds like a grand old adventure.
(I am the master of using many words to say nothing at all.)
Good! Now we can't go into the village to test it..morals and all..er...any ideas?
*raises her brow and smirks*
Morals?
MORALS?
MORALS ARE FOR- well, me.
*grimaces*
Perhaps it's better for us to get some snacks before we think about testing my magic?
**mortals. Stupid auto correct.
Oh yeah sure. What were you thinking?
Giant pretzels.
If you want to try to levitate me...
((Sorry, Star had to vanish. *sighs* Msd.))
#ChaseForBookNine
How much do you want levitating?
@Annika: Wouldn't it be better to have lots and lots of mini pretzels?
#ChaseForBookNine
Giant pretzels it is.
*nods*
*disappears/runs off real quickly*
*comes back with some giant pretzels for annika*
*and ice cream for me*
*and tea for zaf*
*and glitter for hunter*
*because sparkles*
No.
Giant pretzels are chewy, fluffy, salty, and delicious. Mini pretzels are crunchy and dry abominations.
*chews pretzel*
*sighs contentedly*
*screams* SPARKLES!
*faster than eyes can move, he has the sparkles in his hand and is tipping them from one to the other, glowing like a glowstick as his feet float off the ground*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Annika: *speaks without taking his eyes off the sparkles* Couldn't you shrink them with a sparkly shrinkray and then they'd be like big ones but small and then you could add sparkles to them?
#ChaseForBookNine
*looks up at Hunter*
*raises an eyebrow*
You are a very strange man.
*smiles at the glowing hunter*
*faces annika*
So what's the plan?
The plan?
*shakes Silente violently*
Adventure!
*scampers down the street*
I must learn to use my power!
@Annika: *replies without hesitation* And sparkles are very strange sparkles.
#ChaseForBookNine
Plans are for unsparkly people! *glares at Silente*
#ChaseForBookNine
*is shookkk violently*
*shakes her head*
Yes and to control your self..
*strides after her*
*still jogging down the street*
*in pursuit of adventure*
*panting though*
*I'm out of shape*
I quite . . . like this, Silente!
Here we . . . are again . . . *pant pant* . . . I the dashing heroine, you the hapless sidekick . . . Onward!
*teleports in front of them both, so I don't have the deal with the joltness of walking unbalancing the glitter off my hand, and waits for them, smiling happily at the waterfall of glitter in the palm of my hands*
#ChaseForBookNine
*stops*
Sidekick? Come again? Who's panting like a sick puppie in a heat wave?
*calls from further down the street* Can't you both be sidekicks?
You can take one side each.
That way, you can deal with threats from both directions.
#ChaseForBookNine
*skids to a halt*
*looks terrified*
No! No glitter! Glitter takes forever to get out of my fabulous hair!
I just want to move. *looks miserable* It's been almost a week. I can't stand being this helpless.
Javier: You're not totally helpless. He didn't take away your spirit.
Alexis: Yeah Mom. You're still free, he didn't take your consious.
And . . . and . . .
*flustered*
Who ever heard of two sidekicks? If anything, you would need four! North, south, east, west.
*rolls her eyes*
*walks over to them, hands in her pockets*
*meters* side kick my ass..
Look on the shiny sparkly side, Zaf. At least you aren't paralysed for life. :)
@Annika: God, you sound like Ez.
DOn't worry, I'll keep it away from you.
Although glitter will make your hair all sparkly and pretty, so I don't know what the problem is. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Annika: And up and down!
#ChaseForBookNine
((*mutters))
You actually WANT me to kick your ass, Silente?
#ChaseForBookNine
*waves a dismissive hand at Silente*
Worry not, my dear, we all must be sidekicks before we can become heroines.
*looks at hunter*
Wait what? No..er..no thank you. I mean..we're meant to be adventuring..
*puts a hand on her hip*
When where you a side kick? And who too?
Well, let's ADVENTURE, then.
*looks around for one*
((Msd. Dinner might happen for Star.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*frowns*
*crosses arms*
Of course, Adventures can be difficult to hunt for. They are more easily found when one waits for them to come to you.
*looks at Silente*
*harrumphs*
My backstory is none of your concern.
I've been a sidekick before.
I kicked lots of sides.
It was ace.
((Star: That's my word.
*scowls*
Hunter: It's actually Ieni and Luci's word. I can be a wordthief too. You steal all MY words. *looks resentful*))
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods, unconcerned* We can play with sparkles while we wait.
#ChaseForBookNine
*points to a tree*
Is that an adventure?
*points to a rock*
How about that?
Yeah I guess. I mean eventually Alastair will grow bored of me being useless. I just hate being like an infant. I can't do anything for myself. I'm going to Hayley if Alastair doesn't at least give me movement of my arms back.
Alastair must be getting bored. He hasn't attacked anyone in a week...a whole week!
*lifts up the rock*
Ugh.
*puts it down*
No adventures here.
*climbs the tree*
*looks around*
No.
*climbs down*
*looks around*
*finds a battered old umbrella*
Perhaps this.
*looks at the umbrella*
Its red and blue and orange and green and white...
Just wait the little creep will do something. He's known. He'll make us on edge and strike.
Brb shower
Kk then zaf!
*nods*
Clearly a madman's umbrella.
Or a mad woman's. Or a mad dogs...
*looks around for mad dogs*
*shadow-fences with the umbrella*
Perhaps we ought to return it to its owner.
Where is its owner?
*looks around*
*sees no one*
*looks at the clock*
*swears violently*
I'm afraid I have to dash.
*gives Silente the umbrella*
So dreadfully sorry! Forgive me, do!
*vanishes from this comment thread*
*holds the umbrella*
Oh..er...okay then..
*a thundering of horseshoes sounds, and a second later a magnificent stallion pulls to a halt before them. On it's back, Taia raises her sword in the air, screaming a battle cry*
DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR AN ADVENTU-
*falters, spotting the umbrella*
*the horse sees its chance for freedom, and rears up, throwing her to the ground, before galloping away into the wild yonder*
Well, damn.
Perhaps I could join your lost-property quest?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh hey there Taia. I think your horse left...
*watches the horse run away*
*waves at its back*
Anyway, this umbrella has come from a mad thing! We must find its owner!
A mad thing? Golly! But, there are ALL KINDS of mad things around these parts!
This sounds like a job for-
*remembers that her noble steed is with her no longer*
Hm. I think we need to come up with a strategy.
Have you searched for clues?
#ChaseForBook9
Nooo.... well there's a, er, a feather where the umbrella was. And a shoe...
*gasps*
Were looking for an angel who's missing a shoe!
Msd
Who do angels need shoes when they can fly?
#ChaseForBookNine
*Why
((Sorry, Star can't type.))
#ChaseForBookNine
(EVERYONE.
STAR INKBRIGHT IS ADORABLE
THAT IS ALL)
That's a mighty good deduction, Tempest! Although, do angels wear shoes?
I don't think I would, were I an angel. *frowns*
Nice shoes, though. A little battered, like the umbrella, but it's clear that they were a smart set when they were being used.
So, perhaps we're looking for a well dressed mad thing?
#ChaseForBook9
Alastair is mad
As for the feather... Perhaps it could have been intended for use as a quill?
(@Adra: Yeah, I know. C: )
#ChaseForBook9
Why do angels need umbrellas, either? They can just fly above the storm clouds.
. . .
Why do angels need ANYTHING?
Damn, it must be boring, being and angel. *frowns*
((Star: *hugs Adra* :) :) :) :) :) I'm not really, but THANKS! :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
Quills?
What's wrong with biros?
I suppose, though, that not needing anything, angels have to have SOMETHING to do to occupy themselves . . .
((Star: :) :) :) *hugs Taia* Thanks. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
*an
((*growls* STARRRRRRRR.
Star: *looks adorable?*
Hunter: *throws a shoe at her*
Star: *attempts to catch* *Misses*))
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello, Hunter.
Well, have you any suggestions of whose umbrella this might have been? :)
@Zaf: Oh? Excellent! Does Alastair dress well? Do you know, is he missing a red/blue/orange/green/white umbrella?
#ChaseForBook9
@Sparkly person: An umbrella-y person.
Like you're sparkly
but they're umbrella-y.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Hunter: They're different media. Or perhaps a fashion statement? Maybe the being in question DID have a biro, but it ran out? Thus, s/he collected a feather, to put to use, instead.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Perhaps.
Or maybe they just think quills are cool.
*adds, in case of any confusion:* They aren't. They're too much bother to write with.
#ChaseForBookNine
Alastair looks like Niccolò, but if we ever see a man who is pale, with blonde hair that'd either be naturally straight or curled, and pale cold blue eyes...then assume he shifted into himself. But he doesn't ever shift into his own body...I think we should call him Niccolò to piss him off
((*hugs Star back* :)))
Hunter! Hey! We need that shoe! :P
But, that is an excellent suggestion. *nods*
Who's umbrella-y?
I feel like Ember might be umbrella-y?
#CHaseForBook9
((Star: My sister's friends just hid in her cupboard and then came out screaming they'd been to Narnia. XD
Oh gosh. XD
"WE'VE BEEN TO NARNIA! *screams* WE'VE BEEN TO NARNIA! IT EXISTS!"
XD))
#ChaseForBookNine
Ember is umbrella-y, but that kind of umbrella? I would think she would have a more Mycroft-style umbrella.
Maybe it's Mycroft's spare umbrella, though.
((Star: They're twelve years old as well. *facepalm*))
Why do you need an odd shoe? Surely you'd rather have a pair?
#ChaseForBookNine
((You only want odd shoes if you're an odd person like Star. *chucks another shoe at her*))44
#ChaseForBookNine
((44, Star? Where did that even come from? *sighs*))
#ChaseForBookNine
((@Star: XD
Aw, that's so cool!! x3))
@Zaf: *nods* Right. But is he likely to own a multicoloured umbrella, at all?
#ChaseForBook9
*Left, sparkly person, left
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, that's true, Hunter.
If Mycroft had a spare umbrella, I feel like it might well be the same as his original umbrella, though.
*sighs*
((Star, xD)
But, Hunter, it's a CLUE.
What's so odd about it, anyway?
#ChaseForBook9
No.
I feel stalkerish knowing so much but hey. *sighs happily*
Javier: *kisses cheek* Maybe Hayley can at least give you your arms back.
I considered left, but finalized my decision on right instead. Because other directions have been getting a lot of attention lately, and maybe right is feeling left out, now?
(*watches the shoe* ... Poor Star. :P )
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Well, it's SINGULAR.
ONE.
It isn't EVEN.
or UNEVEN.
((Star, would you mind not referencing to Slipknot in my comments?
They are MY comments, after all.
Star: :(
But you don't mind referencing Slipknot, right-left-dia-
Hunter: *puts a hand over Star's mouth* Shut up.))
OKAY.
WE SHALL EXAMINE THE CLUE.
*looks at the shoe carefully*
Hmm.
It looks like a shoe.
*taps it*
It doesn't appear to randomly blow up.
So it doesn't seem to be a bomb.
Unless it's a remote-controlled bomb . . .
Maybe we should cut it apart and see if it explodes on it.
*looks up hopefully, awaiting permission*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: Aw. Then I suppose we're back to rectangle one.
*sits down, sighing*
*the umbrella rolls back and forth through a puddle in the breeze*
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: If it's left out, it's left, so it's all good. *nods stubbornly*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: RECTANGLE ONE! C:))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Totally didn't poof! Zaf we so SHOULD all cal him Niccoló to annoy him! That's a great idea.))
*looks at the shoe*
*looks at the feather*
Maybe...maybe they were torturing someone by tickling their foot with a feather but they didn't want the feather to clump so they used an umbrella to keep the rain off!
*laughs*
Okay, good start. (though, if you threw it at Star and it didn't blow up THEN, what would tapping it do? :P)
... Can you cut it open WITHOUT danger of exploding it? Bomb disposal utilities or knowledge?
@Hunter: :(
*hugs right comfortingly*
#ChaseForBook9
((Often things that people say are squares are rectangles, actually. REctangles deserve recognition. Just because their sides aren't all equal length... *mutters* :P))
(( :) ))
(welcome back, Tempest!)
Silente, that is an EXCELLENT idea. Damn. Good. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Good theory, Silente.
Or maybe they were torturing someone with an umbrella and they had a pet bird to keep guard in case the police drove past, and one of the bird's feathers fell out?
((Tapping it will tap it, sparkly person. :)))
*frowns* Cut it open WITHOUT exploding it? Where's the fun in that?
((*puts left in a hole for shelter comfortingly, because Star wants to reference again*))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: *nods at Taia* :) :) :) ))
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods* Also good.
Or maybe the umbrella was once covered in feathers, but somebody bought them all in exchange for one of his shoes, and dropped a single feather in the excitement?
((Fair enough, Hunter. :)))
hm. You don't get exploded?
Although, we're all so used to be being exploded ANYWAY, because Zaf so, hey, go for it. :P
((:)))
#ChaseForBook9
*runs for cover in case it IS a bomb*
*pokes her head out*
*calls*
Onzwa! Back up boy!
*appears in Blogland beside Zafira, masked a shallow slice into her arm with a knife, and vanishes again* *as the chemicals on the knife circulate, she'll be able to move*
#ChaseForBook9
@sparkly person: Or that. :)
Okay!
*takes out lightsabre and slices the shoe in half* *sighs disappointedly* *unnecessarily states:* It didn't explode.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Wait is Niccoló back now? Has Alastair been overcome? *crosses fingers*))
*comes back out*
Oh good your not exploded
*moves over to them*
Hey, Niccolò.
((Star: NICCOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D))
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey again, Silente. *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
So then. If not a bomb then why the shoe? And the feather? And the umbrella? Hmmmm...
((@star DO YOU THINK ALASTAIRS BEEN OVERCOME BY NIC?))
((Star: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
*screams*
Hunter: Okay, okay, keep your hair on.))
#ChaseForBookNine
G'Day, Niccolo! :)
*smiles* That's handy.
((YOU HAVE A LIGHTSABRE?!
HOLY GREAT SPACE CATS, HUNTER.
WOW.))
Aw. Welp, at least that's one possibility minimized.
Now we have a feather, a battered, multicoloured umbrella, and two shoe halves, which are NOT bombs.
Hm.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò.....thank you...
((@star & zaf His attempt at a rein of terror may be over! We might be free! *does a weird dance* *flips over* yes!))
((@Zaf: HOORAH! :) ))
((@Nic/Alastair discussion: ALSO HOORAH! :)))
#CHaseForBook9
((Star: :D :D :D))
((Yes, I do, sparkly person. It's very cool, isn't it? :D))
#ChaseForBookNine
((:D))
*waits a few minutes and flexes fingers* Oh my god I can move....*gets to feet, slowly, and manages a few steps and runs straight at Silente tacklehugging her* I CAN MOVE!!!!! *then in mind, loud enough that maybe Nic can hear* Thank you Niccolò, thank you.
Perhaps the items in question were parts of an elaborate basement-project flying machine?
The shoe was attached to the pedal to ensure that the pilot's feet did not slip out.
The umbrella acted as a roof, like the pull-over-y bit on the top of a convertible car. Because it's a convertible low-budget flying machine. *nods*
And of course the feather relates to the wings - since what better way to try to fly that mimic something that flies naturally - namely birds. Or angels, maybe.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* Very good theory, sparkly person.
*wonders if I could build one of those* *a sparkly one, of course*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, ZAF!!!! :) :)
Sorry, Hunter wasn't very bothered, so I thought I ought to share my empathical joy in parenthesis. :P))
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs zaf back* yes you can! Zaf your free! No more baby sitting!
((Incredibly cool, Hunter. :) ))
((@Zaf: :D :D :D ))
And maybe there was a storm.
And the umbrella was put up, to shelter from the rain, but the wind was too strong and pulled the umbrella right off, since low budget meant that it wasn't held together all that well.
The umbrella got stuck on one of the wings, setting the flying machine off course drastically, and keeping the wing from functioning correctly.
#ChaseForBook9
*wakes up and slowly and quietly gets out of bed (so she doesn't wake Blake) and goes into the bathroom and takes off her pjs and creates a slim evening dress of ice, similar to Elsa's*
((Hey guys))
*throws dynamite in air and it makes dynamite fireworks* I'm freeeeee!!!!!!
Alexis: *watches, laughing at her mother's reactions* Mom! You got a lot of catching up to do at work.
I know. I can move though...*sees Christopher and picks him up* Hey baby.
*nods at sparkly person*
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Chi!
*here's movement in chi's house*
*goes back there*
*quickly puts away erliers dishwashing*
**hears
*eyes brighten at the explosions*
#ChaseForBookNine
There was only one thing for it.
The pilot would have to climb out and attempt to fix the problem before they crashed.
He turned in his seat but his foot was still attached inside the shoe on the pedal - A damn stupid investment,, he thought, trying to pull his foot free. But again, his low budget attempts backfired and the shoe/pedal was pulled off entirely.
And now the shoe lace had come undone, too, which was just typical.
The pilot turned again in his seat, unstrapping himself, and immediately having to brace against the pull of air as the machine hurtled through it, in the downward direction.
#ChaseForBook9
*Snaps awake and sits up quickly*
ADSFGSDSDADFFRHYTJHGNRFAWDFDFDF
*Stops and looks around*
*Lays back down*
*quickly opens the bathroom door, hair frizzy and make-up half done*
What is it?!
Are you ok?!
*hears Blake wake up as well*
*pours two glasses of orange juice*
*makes toast for both of them*
*nods wildly at the sparkly person*
And then it fell apart . . . but the pilot grabbed one of the wings as he hurtled down, well, both of them, because they were attached, and a feather broke off in the collision. And he flapped the wings and drifted off slightly slower, down a diagonal kind of gradient, so that's why he isn't here.
Hey, Blake.
#ChaseForBookNine
*turns his head sideways*
Yeah fine, just had a dream about losing a fight... so a nightmare really
WHICH REMINDS ME. I never got the chance to give Amethyst one
Hey, Chi.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head* *would facepalm but her make-up isn't done*
*goes back into the bathroom and finished her make-up and straightens and brushes her hair*
((Hey Hunter, hey Star, Hey Silente, Hey Zaffy, did I miss anyone? Not Blake obviously ;) :P))
*carries the food to the table*
*puts jam, butter, and other such stuff on it as well*
*straightens up the cloth*
((You missed Taia.))
Ah well.
*Sinks into his shadow, as he fall slowly through the floorboards solid darkness forms a crisp suit around him*
*Lands fully dressed in the kitchen*
Morning Silente, or good afternoon>
((Oh yes, how could I, hello Taia ^.^))
(I'm sure you could, Hunter. Sparkly, of course, yes. :) ))
((Hey Chione! :) ))
(Zaffffff! Fireworks, Zaf! :) ))
Gritting his teeth, the pilot pressed a foot on his seat and launched himself forward, one arm reaching out for the umbrella, and the other hand gripping onto the machine for dear life.
The handle of the umbrella was just out of reach. He pulled himself forward. Just a little more...
He gripped the handle of the umbrella, good, and pulled it back toward him.
But not gently enough, and the hinge of the wing was pulled off, so that it was hanging now by only one flimsy lengthy of packaging tape.
It wasn't going to work. The pilot woul dhave to crash land.
#ChaseForBook9
*turns quickly to face Blake*
Oh er hey.
*goes red*
I..er..I made you both food? To..er..to say thank you? For last night? Er..
*stands awkwardly*
That's cheating Blake!
*walks down the stairs to meet him in the kitchen and stops at the door*
S-silente...?
@Hunter: Wait, I prefer your possibility. Scrap that last part of mine.
So, a feather broke off in the collision, and that shoe - being untied, now, fell off, as well. And with both hands on the wings, he'd let go of the umbrella.
*nods*
CONSIDER THIS CASE SOLVED!
*sparkles happily*
#ChaseForBook9
*waves awkwardly*
*rubs arm*
Hey..er...
*stands awkwardly*
I should just...
*points to door*
*stands awkwardly, still red, still rubbing arm*
Thanks Silente!
*bear hugs her*
You made some for yourself too right?
*is bear hugged*
*hesitantly hugs back*
N.no. not really.. I don't really need to eat...cause..you know..
*goes red again*
The pilot sighed, and tried not to panic. Technically, he should have taken a course in crash landing, but he'd been, er, 'sick' that day.
He looked around and tried to think what to do. Er . . .
Then there was another gust of wind, and the wings - the pilot grabbed onto them, quickly, and the packing tape broke.
All the pilot could do was helplessly think about how he wanted to sue the packing-tape company.
#ChaseForBookNine
NO, SPARKLY PERSON, YOU ARE ALWAYS MORE LEFT, DUE TO YOU BEING SPARKLY.
#ChaseForBookNine
(@Chi: :):) )
Hey, Blake! :)
... Maybe not entirely solved.
But a bit solved. We still don't know WHO the umbrella actually belonged to, nor has it been returned.
BUT my part was the speculation of events which may or may not be at all credible, and that has been completed accordingly. *nods* :P
#CHaseForBook9
@Hunter: BUT- YOU GLOW. AND LEVITATE. AND LIVE IN A TELEPORTING HOUSE. AND HAVE A LIGHTSABER.
I AM BUT A HUMBLE SPARKLER.
#ChaseForBook9
@sparkly person: Well, it was quite clearly stolen to make the flying machine.
So it's hardly relevant anyway.
#ChaseForBookNine
@sparkly person: But you SPARKLE! *says it as if it solves everything*
#ChaseForBookNine
(("All the pilot could do was helplessly think about how he wanted to sue the packing-tape company." THat, though. xD))
Stolen?
He might have bought it at a car boot sale, though, for a reasonable price?
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry mom annoying me
[We'll take a small private room
With a window please
If it opens that's fine
To let in the breeze
We've been waiting all year
For someone to just say
Everyone fucks up, it's going to be ok :):):) ]
@Hunter: BUt- *not sure how to retaliate without repeating earlier comment. :P*
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: :) :) Glad someone likes my writing. XD
Well, my/Hunter's writing. :P))
@sparkly person: Why would he buy it when he could steal it? *shrugs* It's cheaper.
((Star: 'Sokay, Zaf. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: @Taia: O_O :( :())
@sparkly person: BUT. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
(No worries, Zafiray. :))
(:))
Hunter, because he couldn't find one to steal? Maybe the pilot is a very timid guy?
Or perhaps there are a lot of people out looking to steal multicoloured umbrellas these days, so the police were very aware of umbrella theft, meaning that it was easier to purchase one.
#ChaseForBook9
@sparkly person: Well, hat would just be BORING.
He might have been a boring person, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
*that
((STAAAAAAR. *sighs*))
#ChaseForBookNine
*feels Javier wrap his arms around me* Hey
Javier: Hey. *kisses her cheek* Are you okay?
I am.
*Randomly flips out*
I'm so bored... is Alastair still around? I noticed nicolo was on earlier
((Gtg, sorry! Blame Star!))
#ChaseForBookNine
((@Star: It might be sad, but in a positive-toned way, kind of. You know when songs are kind of sad, but have a positive thing to them, and you kind of want to cry, but it's a happy kind of cry? idk. THe pitch of the words goes up at a certain point and it has a more positive denotation, kind of.
Like, you can say "Aww... :)" or you can say "Aww... :(" and even though you're saying the same thing, the change in tone makes it mean a different thing. :) ))
@Hunter: Nothing wrong with boring. I'm sure it's not boring if you like that kind of thing. It could have been a very interesting car-boot sale.
Maybe the person who sold it to him was a bloodthirsty T-Rex who wanted his life in exchange.
But the pilot had already promised his life to a shoe retailer, in exchange for the shoe which he would later use as a pedal for his flying machine?
And so he could offer the dinosaur only a hug, and a small portion of his low budget. *nodS*
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: Before I go -
Hunter; Fair enough, Taia. *shrugs*
I would rather like to see this car boot sale.
Star: Yes. :) *smiles at Taia*
And when they're positive in sad way or vice versa -
it kills me. D:))
#ChaseForBookNine

(I feel so creative. xD
Aw, bye Hunter! Bye Star!
I'm not sure, Blake. ^^
