Oh, and for all those who have been asking me to release a chapter from The Dying of the Light early, like I did with a few of the other books, Armageddon Outta Here is the only place you'll find it, right after all the previously published short stories, the rare short stories, The End of the World, and brand new stories featuring the Dead Men, Gordon Edgley, Valkyrie and vampires, and a story-that-turned-into-a-novella, Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon.
Oh, and this is for the people who like their videos to fit their webpages a little bit better...
Pffft.

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4054 Newer› Newest»Yep, it's decapitation day!
Oh Fabi you went?! That's cool!! It looked like fun!
Well.
Number one - I'm busy.
Number two - I don't like drawing for other people.
Number three - I don't know many fandoms.
Number four - I wouldn't have the clue what the fuck I was drawing.
I can contribute if someone tells me how and if I feel like and if life spins that way, though! :)

:P
Ah, have to dash. Be back later maybe :)
Can be abbreviated as rldudbfsccmin. :P
It's cool listening to my mum on the phone, because she changes her language depending on who she's speaking to, so I usually try and work out who it is . . .
I cant wait to see Kings of Leon tomorrow :)
I KNOW I WAS MADAME MIST.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE NOW.
SORT OF.
I WAS WEARING A VEIL ON MY HEAD.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
Yeah, I went to the most recent one. :-)
It was awesome!!!
...
I never have to actually type email addresses, because they're saved in my contacts.
One moment.
(*would be here but is arguing with Silente about very important stuff and omg she's almost making me cry right now*)
(Seriously though I'm leaking. She's making me cry. SHE'S crying.)
Thanks Star! I will remember all the directions!!
Hi Silente!!!!
How be's yous?!?!
How be's yous eyes?!?.!
Happy decapitation day!!!
Fabi you are so lucky!!!!
If I did, I probably wouldn't say... :-/
But I don't.
Sorry.
( [hugs Silente] )
*hugs Silente*
(You can't escape these hugs!)
(Hi Silente)
This unit does not understand. Humans have a day dedicated to decapitation?
Yes, Gethie! Every Tuesday!! It's fun!!
My brother almost decapitated me with his football *sharpens axe*
*hugs Silente tightly* :/
I don't really talk to my characters . . .
I can't hold conversations in my head very well.
I think this is largely because when I'm being them, my identity tends to disappear, so often I end up saying Hunter/Ez's lines in my head, but where my input is meant to be, there's just an impression.
And then the whole thing kind of fades out.
Plus, I can think much better when I write stuff out anyway - I'm not great at internalising . . .
Plus they wouldn't discuss serious things with me anyway. I'm not their friend.
(Freekin hell guys she's serious. She's not joking. I realise you don't know what we're arguing about but she's not kidding)
Omg! Yesterday we got a laser pointer and our cats (or at least on of them. The other one is too fat! My poor baby!) Love it!!!! It is so cute!
It's not close...
My mom wouldn't take me, but if my dad's schedule is free, I could probably get there.
It's even farther for Ivy and her lot, though.
(Silente: There are so many things I could say here, an so many that I should, but I cant. Word would destroy them. Thank you for being so patient, so caring. For trying to stop the inevitable. I won't forget. I wish I could type more, could explain, but I can't, there's no way to do so. And I hope you all know i'll miss you. And that I love you. I truly do. Sorry.)
*takes a deep breath with tears streaming down her face*
*whispers* goodbye.
*takes the step that will end it all*
Closer, but still kinda out of the way.
I could probably convince my mom to take me, though.
Yesterday my friend and I got into the makeup!
>>>>>>>>>>
Neither of us normally wear makeup so now I look beautiful!!
SILENTE!!!!!!!!!!D: D: D: D:
( :'( )
Soz I poofed (not that ive said much)
Im trying to adjust my avatar for my youtube account
Truly! XD
*watches the Midgardians, keeping Zanida close*
I have eyeshadow all over my face, eyeshadow on one eye, mascara on my eyebrows and eyelashes, lipstick on my eyelid, lipstick on my lips, and lip gloss on my nose! She put lip gloss on my nose!
SILENTE!!!!!
NO!!!
Silente! No! Please!
*A dark ink nestled inside a soul and sits there for all of time. And some can learn to hold their head high. Some are supported by others. The end had to come, she had to say goodbye. And as she fell through the air she finally felt a kind of peace settle inside her. Never again would she hurt her friends. Never again would she attack a poor soul. She could finally be safe knowing she would never hurt another*
You look great, Dugglyn! X
I only wear make-up on stage...
Welcome back, Chloe!
There's a Fred Meyer and a Barnes and Nobles near me...
I'm not sure where the ones you're referring to are.
But I can certainly try to find a place to meet up...
*XD
*whispers*
I think it's too late...
Do 't. Please.
Thanks Fabi!
*don't
*freeze time*
...
I feel like I should say something.
But Fabi isn't present in the roleplay, and if she were, she probably wouldn't say anything because she'd know her words would mean nothing to Silente.
Although if she was present in the roleplay, she'd have to be in a better state than she is now...
So maybe she would say something.
I'm really not sure.
But...
I'm sorry you feel that way, Silente.
........
*tears start streaming down her face*
Silente.....
*runs over to the edge she jumped off of and looks down*
Why....?
This unit believes Silente's decision was logical but unnecessary.
We can bring Silente back to life . . .
Silente...
But if we forced her to live, do any of you really believe that she would never learn to appreciate life again?
If we can keep her alive for one minute then she has a chance of making it an hour and hour to a day. Everyone. Quickly help.
C said once:
"Death is the worst punishment. I know many people commit suicide to break away from the pain and suffering, but there was a man who threw himself of a bridge into the water and he was the only one to jump of this particular bridge and live. He was interviewed on the radio and he said something along the lines of:
I'd been feeling really down for months and months and I'd been having suicidal thoughts, but I was just hoping that it'd get better, so I couldn't bring myself to do it. But, that day it just became impossibly bad and I couldn't stand it anymore. I was so low and it just kept getting worse and worse and I couldn't bear it. So, I was stood on the bridge and staring off at the water, thinking about how I'd miss the trees and the sky and the leaves in autumn but I simply didn't care anymore. I couldn't stand it and I had to end it. So, I threw myself off. But, as soon as I had, this wave of emotion flooded threw me and I realised how deluded I had been. I wanted to live. Yes, life was bad, but I didn't want to die yet. There was so much more left to discover and I didn't care how painful it was. I wanted to live. I just wanted to live again. As I fell, I prayed to God to have mercy on me. As I hit the water, all I could think was 'please let me live, please let me live, please let me live, I don't want to die yet'. It was dark down there and I was spinning through the water, I couldn't tell which way was up or down. I waited until I began to float upwards slightly and then I paddled upwards as fast and hard as I could. I was swimming as fast as humanly possible and the darkness began to retreat and I could see light. Hopeful, I paddled harder and harder thinking 'I'm going to make it, I'm going to live', but then I became close enough to see that the surface was impossibly high above me and I wasn't going to be able to swim fast enough. I was going to have to breathe the water and drown. But, something was pushing me upwards and at first I thought it was a shark trying to eat me, and I realised that even if I made it to the surface I was going to die. But then, on the brink of unconsciousness, I broke the surface and I was suspended, and, as if an answer to my prayers, lived. (He found out from a witness that it was actually a sea-lion that had pushed him to the surface and let him live). I just feel so sorry for those people who actually manage to kill themselves, because as soon as you manage, you just want to take it back and live.
So actually, many people who actually manage to commit suicide want to take it back."
Of course, another Midgardian too cowardly to face life. Oh so typical. I still wonder why Thor likes to protect some of you. ((I do apaologize I'd be freaking but Loki doesnt really...you know he's not really NICE -Zaffy))
@star: yes
Hunter: Okay.
Helping.
What do you want me to do?
*nods at Viv*
His name was Kevin Hines
Was it . . . ?
:/
*grabs Zanida and vanishes, appearing in the woods by the volcano*
Zanida: Someone is here, there's weird silver stuff.
I know not what it is, perhaps it is that of a Midgardian with an ability?
Zanida: No idea, but lets follow the trail. *starts walking*
(Btw can this all be in a feozen moment of time?)
It was from the San Fran bridge and he is one of twenty eight fumpers who survived the fall. Silente, his readon for jumping was he didn't want to hurt his family. And yet he changed his mind. Because he changed his mind he survived. We need you Silente.
Let's go save her!
Hunter: @Viv: I don't see why not.
I happen to disagree with your penultimate sentence, though. Plenty of good people die and then regret it.
((Unless you guys need Zaf to revive her, I'm watching but my current characters are not going to help. Not to be mean but they just simply wouldn't-Zaffy)))
(Wait...
He jumped, THEN changed his mind. So changing his mind DIDN'T make him survive. Physics did.)
Should we really bring her back? I mean, maybe she began to regret it when she was falling but what if...
What if she really doesn't want to come back? What if she kills herself again?
*secures grapple and jumps after Silente, forming a stretcher as he goes*
Ok guys, she's going to probably have broken legs, possibly internal bleeding and an allergic reaction. Someone get a healer. I'll splint her legs. Elleni, ger her outta the water. Star, help me check for damage.
(Elleni - well since it seems lots of people jumped off the bridge previously, I assume it's normal to be dead when you hit the water. Otherwise no one would use it if you had to like drown yourself.)
((Hunter: A sea lion pushed him up, according to Star's friend.
And we stop her killing herself, obviously. Whilst doing that, we remind her why she's living.))
Zafira: I can heal. If you like. *is quite calm*
*walks over to the edge*
*quietly asks*
What can I do to help?
@geth: no, because he changed his mind he changed his position and also struggled to survive after going under. That saved him.
Hunter: *snaps fingers at Zaf* Yes, you heal.
I'll go and get Silente.
*vanishes, teleporting*
Zafira: *nods and waits paitently, for once doing something I would do*
*Lorcan could hear steps on the gravel path some ways away from the mouth of the cave.*
Lorcan: Shit!
*He swore as he scrambled to put his things in his backpack and to stomp out his camp fire. He backed into the cave, hiding in a shadowy crevice as his silver started covering his arms.*
*is slowly floating downwards, body broken and bruised, throat closed tight*
((Yes, and the doctors said that if Kevin hadn't prayed at the last minute the sea lion might not have come))
((Yes, and the doctors said that if Kevin hadn't prayed at the last minute the sea lion might not have come))
Dugglyn, what abilities do you have?
*looks at Elleni*
*quiet*
That's what I mean. What if she doesn't want to be saved? I want her back too but...
But what if she doesn't want to....?
Um, I can turn into mist and walk on walls....
Not very helpful right now.....
*goes to Silente and takes out a knife cutting a half inch slit near the base of her neck and puts a tube in it*
Hunter: *watches Elleni work the water*
Yeah.
That works.
*jumps inside the water, half-levitating, and pulls Silente out* *once out of the water, his feet fall with full wait onto the ground, and he grabs Silente, carrying her*
*keeps walking, behind Zanida* Cave.
Zanida: *lets fire form in my hand lighting my way through the cave* Hello? Midgardian? We're not stupid, well maybe my brother is but anyhow, we know you're in there.
We won't hurt you, probably.
Zanida: Loki! *keeps walking, following silver* Are you hiding here? If Zafira is correct, you are hiding in here, Lorcan. You're the silver Midgardian.
Mage.
Zanida: I mean mage!
((Hunter: Pretend Star's comment wasn't slow . . .))
Hunter: Nobody ever really wants to die.
And one day, she will be glad she's lived.
(A tracheotomy) now she can breath.
(A tracheotomy) now she can breath.
*watches from the side, desperate to help but doesn't know what to do*
If you need anything, I can help.
(Praying doesn't summon sealions.)
Ok, try and bring her up as gently as possible. Check her soles. If they are pale then she has internal bleeding.
Ok, try and bring her up as gently as possible. Check her soles. If they are pale then she has internal bleeding.
(Dragona, that is one of the weirdest things I've heard. I don't know if that's just me but really? Praying doesn't summon sea lions is an awesome sentence!)
((Hunter: Praying to sealions might.))
((That's what the dotors said))
Dugglyn, go get a healer, and a medic, and lots of blood!
(Exactly, thanks Elleni)
Her feet? Are they pale?
(Elleni - well, no. It's more likely the sealion was angry because he got crushed by a falling human so wanted to get him off of it and pushed him off so it could continue as normal.)
((Star: @Elleni: I know.
C also told me about these people who were by the side of a road because their car broke down, and there was a roadbridge near them, and a man walked onto the roadbridge and just stood there, looking out onto the road, and they thought "Oh God he's going to jump he's going to jump what do we do".
And then he jumped.
And they were like "Oh God no we've let someone commit suicide."
But then he got up and walked off and had nothing more than a broken finger.
Later than night, a car full of drink drivers crashed into the same bridge and they all died.))
*turns into mist and floats high and fast above the trees*
Where can I find a healer?
((Wait is that a thing. Do soles do that? I didn't know that. And yes, they're pale, but they're always pale. Vampire, remember))
((Star: I got a certificate for these conversations, guys. :P))
Hunter: Just let Zaf heal her.
*he can also heal, but he's not mentioning that unless he has to*
((Yes, all of what I'm doing is real. Checking the soles is an ER doctor trick))
*takes a knife and cuts Silente's foot*
*sighs in relief when the normal amount of blood comes out*
((Yes, all of what I'm doing is real. Checking the soles is an ER doctor trick))
*takes a knife and cuts Silente's foot*
*sighs in relief when the normal amount of blood comes out*
Zafira: I can heal her, just step out of my way.
*realizes Zaf is a healer*
(If you're still here....!)
Ok, healer. Check!
Lots of blood...
*floats to the nearest hospital*
*slips through an open window*
*solidifies, grabs the blood and turns into mist again, the blood in her coat*
*returns to Viv*
Here. Blood. Zafira can probably heal her.
(Thats...quite cool. I didn't know that...)
*puts Silente on the stretcher*
Dugglyn? Where's the medic?
Thanks Zanida but this is more than just healing magic, if you could keep her from going into shock however it would be much appreciated.
(You don't know if he landed on the sea lion or not. Assuming that y'know he hit the water, he'd have been a little dazed and confused and he could have landed on a sea lion and not remembered.)
Zafira: *goes over to Silente and recalls Niccolò healing and places hand on Silente, healing her injuries* She should be fine, someone get her blood though, I'm not becoming her meal.
Oh. Medic. Right. Would a mortal medic do?
((Hunter: SORRY. YES, I'M EVEN MORE SICK OF STAR DISAPPEARING THAN YOU ARE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ALL ARE, HAVING PHYSICAL BODIES?))
(He didn't land on the sea lion)
If she survives I'll gladly become her meal.
((Since you guys haven't met my OC let me explain, Zafira is a Necromancer by her Surge, she learned and sealed her true name and hence she can use magic she either has seen or experienced. She ends a memory of some sort basically.-Zafira))
(I know for sure)
Hunter: Oh, I'm fine becoming her meal.
I won't suffer from bloodloss, and my blood is awesome.
(Vivanus - how do you know? You're going off an article. Which is based on the man's memory. And if he doesn't remember it won't be in the article so you won't know.)
*doesn't wait for an answer*
*a mortal medic will have to do*
*floats back to the hospital where they are trying to figure out where most of the blood went*
*solidifies in front of a medic who is helping a patient*
*grabs the medic and turns back into mist taking the medic with her*
*solidifies in front of Viv*
Here's your medic!
*the medic Justus gasps*
**just
Zafira: She wouldn't want my blood, believe me. *steps back* Thank god Niccolò had to heal me before, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do that.
Hunter: Okay.
*nods*
Medic.
Hi, medic.
*points to Silente*
Over here, please.
This unit recommends that we should be used as a medical practitioner. We have a steady hand.
*the medic walks over to Silente*
(I don't know what they do so someone take over for me!)
*skin is cold (er than usual) and clammy*
*looks pale (er than usual) and breaths are shallow*
This unit has more technology than any organic medical professional.
(Geth, this is from the coast guard eyewitnesses and the guy's memory is very reliable. Something that traumatic stays with you forever)
Zafira: *sighs* God damn it Alastair!!! Why did he take Niccolò from us?! Nic is better at this then I am!
Um ok. Does anyone have any objections on having Geth help Silente? The medic looks a little pale....
((Hunter: Well, don't trust STAR to roleplay a medical practitioner!))
Hunter: No objections.
I dedicate this page to ruling Midgard. This is my birth right, to be a king.
Of course you breaths are shallow. I cut open your throat.
Zafira: None either.
(You can't see through a lot of water. It gets too dark, especially if it isn't clean to begin with. And people's memories tend NOT to be reliable when they're a) in that situation, b) Have just hit water after jumping from a bridge. c) Are actually underwater following point b.
Assuming that, y'know, the water would be quite cold, he could have simply not felt the sea lion, too.
In any case, there's more evidence to suggest that it'd be the sea lion being annoyed at being crushed by a falling person, or just simply tried to get him out of the water because it was in the sea lion's way, rather than it be God's doing.)
Brb! Sorry!!
Geth, just do what the medic tells you. Zafira, can you teleport?
(Geth the sea lion came after he already had surfaced)
Hunter: I can teleport.
*then, after a hesitation - * Short range.
(Bye Dugglyn.)
(Draggie...stop arguing please. You might be offending some people.)
(It has to be long distance)
Zafira: I can, yes.
*looks at the medic*
We believe we have more information regarding "what to do" than this organic.
Hunter: How long?
Zafira: Who and where am I teleporting?
Medic: *faints*
This unit was correct. The medical professional was incapable.
This unit was correct. The medical professional was incapable.
Hunter: Yes, you were correct/
Now please, get on with it.
Scans suggest the main issue is her airway which is blocked due to exposure to salt water.
*makes an incision down Silente's throat until the scalpel hits the airway*
*activates internal fabrication systems and creates a small pipe*
*plugs the hole in Silente's neck with the pipe so she can breathe normally, bypassing her throat and mouth completely*
If you can get Silente to the ER at Stanford University Medical Center and either get Dr. Brundage or Dr. Spain then she has the highest chance of survival possible.
I already did that Geth
Hunter: @Gethie: Thank you.
The first thing I did was to perform a tracheotomy .
Focus on her brain damage if there is any.
(Sorry I didn't read back in the comments)
*just improves Vivanus' work, then*
She has sustained injuries.
*activates computer systems and applies a gel containing an anaesthetic and a clotting agent to aid healing*
@Zafira: or at least bring them here with some tools.
*is shivering ever so slightly*
*eyes still closed*
*form still (apart from the slight shivers)*
*breathijg still shallow*
*checks her for broken bones*
Three ribs, both legs and possibly her jaw.
This unit detects supplying her brain with anti-swelling substances and oxygen rich air will suffice to cure her brain damage.
Fixing broken bones is irrelevant. The salve will aid the healing process. Injuries to bone structures will come later.
*laces steel wires around her so she can't move*
Silente...can...can you hear me?
(MBD, still trying to finish this art homework...)
*Three ribs. Both pegs. One arm. Cheek bone. Broken*
*numerous cuts, one caused by a bone sticking through her knee*
*injects Silente with a variant of Indomethacin to reduce her brain swelling*
*body in shock and refusing to wake*
*unconscious*
**LEGS!
(Silente - the gel should have healed the cuts but the bone sticking out of your knee, one)
Zafira?
Geth, we need to work on the knee.
Hunter: Do you need me to do any healing?
(The cuts were originally very deep Dragona. They might take a tad longer. Especially the knee)
This unit is aware.
This may not be pleasant for organics.
*hits the bone so it is pushed back into place, cutting a little more skin around the wounded area but just applies more gel to make up for it*
(Silente - the gel is used to treat bullet wounds)
*injects the blood into her bloodstream*
Make sure she is completely flat.
Here's another trick
*pulls out a packet of pure granular sugar and pours it on her knee to decrease bleeding, promote clotting, and discourage bacteria.*
Zafira: Okay uh this makes no sense....*backs away*
*colour in her skin increases very slightly*
*eyes flutter*
That substance is mostly ineffective in comparison to the salve I have already applied. It will create a waterproof seal, and contains a clotting agent and an anaesthetic. So it will reduce pain as well as promote healing.
((Actually Geth, hitting the knee would be really really bad))
Back!
Oh good, looks as if Silente might survive!
(Never change something that works in a trauma injury, the sugar helps so let it stay and work on something else)
(Vivanus - it COULD be very, very bad. But the Geth is synthetic. With humans and stuff it's just luck to whether it'd work or not. With a synthetic it isn't. They have unbelievable precision. It would be no mistake.)
Like her cheek bone
((This is actually a bit annoying, I healed her and you're all still whinning she wasn't healed. This is why I shouldn't bother.-Zaffy))
((I mean the actual damage it would cause would be enormous))
(Zaf, I didn't see that you had healed her. And judging by everyone else it doesn't seem they did either. I apologise. But yeah it seems better to continue.)
((Yeah 'heal her Zafira' I heal her and you guys ignore me. Real nice. Thanks! Now I see why Trip and Adra get annoyed.-Zafira))
(Vivanus - you're applying organic logic to a synthetic. If a human would hit a bone it could cause damage. If a synthetic hit a bone the angle, strength and position would all be perfect to push the bone back into place.)
(Zaf, it wasn't intentional.)
((It's just that a quick and easy way out would be great in real life but it doesn't make for a good story. That's why you don't see books about people who almost got hit by cars. There needs to be struggle. The guy who survived being hit by a car, now that's a story.)

((Hunter: I'm pretty sure that if you tried to heal that knee, you would heal the skin into the bone - heal it out of structure.))
And we didn't see it.
((Hunter: Also, can you heal salt water away?))
((Hunter: Oh, I saw it. With my amazing multi-coloured eyes. Your eyes are just too stuck in place to move and see the world, that's your problem.))
((Obviousky it was. If you wanted me help you'd have fucking read and REACTED to my comment. You're all doomed. I really am finding it sad I could take over Blogland and you'd all ignore me.-Zafira))
Can we turn our attention back to the person with the currently lowest survival rate?
(What the Geth is doing isn't like permanent healing. It's only trying to reduce most of the damage so she can be stabilised, btw)
((Hunter: Hey, don't worry Zaffy, I get that, you get that, we all get that.
The great thing is, though, then you don't have to deal with any rebellions once you've taken it over so you can hang onto it.
Yay.))
((Seriously though, of course people ignore you. We all get ignored. We just learn to deal with it because we're mature human beings.))
*turns back to Silente*
Begins wiping blood off of her face and arms*
(Zaf - no. Obviously it wasn't. That's why I said it wasn't. I don't see how you can expect me to read a comment I didn't SEE. At that point I was busy doing other things like writing and looking up funny pictures of flying squirrels on the internet, so I just missed your comment. I missed most of what was happening before - hence why the Geth tried to clear Silente's airway again.)
((Hunter: And because Ez isn't here, I should probably tell you she'd point out that I am neither mature nor a human being so I can't speak . . .
*he misses Ez for a moment, there*))
Mature?!? I'm not mature!!!! Don't you dare call me mature!!!
