Dragona Pine said...

Valencia: Transformers are like the Call of Duty of the film world :P

Adra Cruciatus said...

Amen to that, Dragona.

Star Inkbright said...

Uh, no, I don't think they are.

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

*kisses him properly*
*hugs him tightly*
Mine.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*emerges from the grass to sit across from Valencia* Valencia, what do you know about me?

Star Inkbright said...

(YOU ARE MINE
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE -


*coughs*)

Adra Cruciatus said...

That's not strange at all, Star.

Me? I don't know much, just that you're a sadomasochist with names in your head. If that is so, then I assume that you have many different abilities. I also know that there is a significant someone in your life.
It isn't much to go on, I'm afraid. Are you willing to share more?

Star Inkbright said...

@Val: No. :P

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Sure. I appreciate observations and studies of people. How do you know what you already know?

Star Inkbright said...

(By observing and studying. :P)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Observing who? Is it the way I act, or what others have said about me, or something else entirely?))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*kisses her back and then nods*
Yep, that sounds accurate!
\

Adra Cruciatus said...

Ah. Well.

*She shows him her notepad*
It reads:
Love interest- Silente insists on calling him "lover boy"
Masochist- taunts Chord to hit him harder.
Sadist- obvious
Names- Mention from Silente.

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

Course it does. Because it true. Your mine.
*hugs him slightly tighter moving closer to him*
And if you'll have me i'm yours.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

HELLO!!!!!!

John said...

*Tumbles out of a shadow at top speed, landing on his rear as usual*
*Stands and brushes himself off, again, as usual*

Hello everyone....

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hi Blake! How are you?

Adra Cruciatus said...

Hello Rhydian, Blake! *Waves*

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

Hey Rhydian! How are you?
Hey Ugly. How's married life?

John said...

Not too shabby, it's been a little while since I stayed for any length of time in Bogland. Been a while since my last good fight as well...

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

hey Val! Hey Sil! I'm good, how about you both?

Adra Cruciatus said...

I'm alright, Rhydian!

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

Im fine thanks Rhydian.
Aww poor you ugly. Not a decent fight in ages.

John said...

Mhm, and by the looks of the current inhabitants of Bogland it'll be a while longer.

*Shoots a smug look at her*

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

Yeah. I mean, all the people here are much too good for you. Why would we waste our time.
*smirks*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

So...Anybody want to talk/rp anything?

Adra Cruciatus said...

Sure!
Erm, how are you, Rhydian?

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

Anyone else wanting to see
A) TFIOS?
B) HTTYD 2?
C) Maleficent?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

SEEN MALEFICENT!! ITS THE BEST!!


Going to see TFIOS this Sunday :D

And I'm good Val :P

Chione Asahina said...

What's B?

I have A on my kindle

c - yes

On a side note, hello everyone.
I'm back.

On another sidenote:

BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tacklehugs Blake*

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

Chiiiiii!
B is how to train your dragon 2
I'm hoping to find time to go to the cinema at some point so I can watch them all. Well so I can watch TFIOS and Maleficent. How to train your Dragon 2 isn't out till July.

John said...

o-o

*is tacklehuged*

H- Hey cutie ^-^

*hugs her tightly*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

HTTYD!!!!!!! I REALLY WANNA SEE THAT AND I'M PLANNING TO GO WITH FRIENDS!!! BECAUSE YEAH, WE ARE CHILDREN AT HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John said...

Oh and Silente, have you hit your head recently? I could have sword you said everyone here was better than me
*laughs*

Adra Cruciatus said...

I saw The Fault In Our Stars on that "Night Before Our Stars" thing. It was pretty good.

Hello, Chione!

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

Oh no Blake you heard me clearly. And of course I've banged my head recently. Almost everyday I do. I get into a lot if fights. Yesterday I had my nose broken by a dick face who I'm going to beat up at some point if I see him again and possibly set fire to his favourite building.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now. BYE!!!!!

John said...

*A cage of darkness forms around Silente, spikes slowly inch inward from the bars*

Then allow me to prove you wrong. Again.

Adra Cruciatus said...

Good bye, Rhydian!

John said...

((BYE RHY))

((IMMA POET :D))

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

BYE RHYDIAN!

Dragona Pine said...

There's no films out at the minute I'd want to watch.

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

*sighs bemusedly*
Yeah. Sure.
*taps the sigil on her forehead making an impenetrable blue energy shield flare up around her that will instantly incinerate anything it touches*

Chione Asahina said...

Bye Rhydian!

Hello Silente, Valencia.

*kisses him* Hi baby

John said...

No physical attacks hmm? You're only making it harder for yourself...

*His trademark black hoodie dissipates into shadow around him, along with all the darkness under his control. A pale green aura rises up and he holds a hand out at Silente*

You have the customary one chance to surrender.

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

*laughs and deactivates the shield so she doesn't run out of energy*
Surrender? Oh come on. When have I ever surrendered to anyone Blake?
*laughs at the idea*

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

(How've ya been Chi?)

John said...

*He twitches his fingers and her arms snap back, putting her into an awkward (and painful) chicken-wing position*

True, guess I'll just end it quick.

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

*grunts and laughs ignoring the pain*
What's your plan ey? I presume that by 'end this quick' you mean stop the fighting and not kill me.
*in her head*
you realise your coming off as weak right?
Yes I realise that
I don't like being seen as weak
Well boo frikin hoo you not in control here
*out loud*
Bring it ugly.

Mary Contrary said...

Hello. :)

I finally went in to read Kallista's latest story (which, naturally, is just splendiferous), and now I'm sitting here realizing how long it's been since I've written things and am trying to start throwing some themes/concepts/ideas in my head. Even though I suck at the ideas part, it's so difficult. D:
So, that means I'll be at the distance which I think is becoming common for me, really. o0

But, yeah. Might be here, some?
*offers cookies to all* :)

John said...

Nah, I'll stand right here and let your own soul do the work.

*Clenches his fist and her limbs move in on her body, slowly crushing her*

How about a tap out? Oh wait I forgot your arms are a little preoccupied at the moment.

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

(Hey Taia)

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

*grins*
That's a bad joke.

*in head*
I could counter that easy. Loosen the soul a tad. Not that hard.
Thanks but no thanks.
Why. Are you scared of me.
Petrified now shut up.

*out loud*
Im starting to get cramp.

Adra Cruciatus said...

Hello, Taia!

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry I poofed.

John said...

Oh? Sorry about that, let's try a different position.

*He splays his fingers and her limbs fly outward, straining in their sockets*

That better?

Mary Contrary said...

Hey, SIlente!
Hi Blake!
Hi Valencia!
Hi Dragona!
*waves* How are you all doing? :)


Oh, man.
*has an idea*
*of sorts*

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

*grunt wincing slightly*
Much. I always loved a good stretch.

*in head*
oh come on just let me out already
Nah I'm good
your arms are barely in their sockets
I said I'm fine okay not shut up and sit down On!
my name is NOT On.
JUST SHUT UP OKAY!
you can't hide me from them forever

John said...

*Flicks his index finger up*
*Her right arm dislocates, still stretching for the sky*

Oh dear did I do that? Terribly sorry. Really though you can just say "I give" at any time.

Star Inkbright said...

I might be here?
Probably not?

Almost finished my zombie! :)

It looks awful but I think I'll show you when I'm done anyway. :) It's taken me several weeks.

Edward Fletcher said...

hello?

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

*cries out and grits her teeth*
Not gonna happen.

*in head*
Of course I can keep you hidden. I have so far.
yeah you have. But I've been kind so far.
Back off. This us my body. My head.
actually you'll find its mine
No. It's. Not
you'll find it is. I was here ling before Silente Tempest. I was even here before A-
*shouts out loud*
SHUT UP AND BACK DOWN ON!

Adra Cruciatus said...

Hello, Edward!

I'm sure it look awesome, Bubble.

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

(Hey Edward)

Edward Fletcher said...

hello valencia

Edward Fletcher said...

hello silente

Chione Asahina said...

((Hello Edward.))

*watches Silente and Blake*

Yo Sil, when was the last time you seen Matex? I know you're in pain and all but still.

John said...

Umm... my name isn't "On" and you're the one backing down.

*His hand moves down as if he were swatting a bug, Silente crashes into the ground face first and spread eagle*

Dragona Pine said...

(Ok, if anyone doesn't know (well, the majority of people won't), Spectra Phase is one of my new characters in an SP fanfic I'm writing (http://dragonapine.blogspot.co.uk/). She can control electromagnetic waves. Which includes things like giving radiation burns using ultraviolet light, firing lasers, intercepting and transmitting radio waves, giving people cancer with gamma rays and evaporating water from your body using microwaves.)

Edward Fletcher said...

hello chione, blake, draona and anybody i missed (sorry)

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

*lifts her head and spits out dirt*
He was on for a brief time earlier Chi.
And i wasn't talking to you idiot.

*in head*
smart move. Shout outloud. Genius
I said shut up.
let me out
No.
you've let him beat you way too much. Let me out so i can teach him a thing or two
Your not coming out
thanks for the cooperation
*out loud*
I SAID YOUR NOT COMING OUT NOZ STOP PUSHING THE LINE!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*smirks* I'm glad sadism is obvious, though I'm surprised you haven't heard yet who the love interest is.

Dragona Pine said...

(Is there anything I could do in the RP?)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Anythin needed in rp?)

Mary Contrary said...

@Dragona: I like the picture! Blue radioactivity seems apt considering the character ability. It sounds pretty cool.
I saw that you'd started a new story, and I'll get to reading it soon, I hope, since I'll have more time soon to do that. It sounds interesting, so I'll look forward to it. :) ^^

Hey Star!
I'm sure it's fantastic. :P / :P

Hi Chione! :)
Hi Edward! :)

Distant! :)

Adra Cruciatus said...

No, I haven't caught that yet. Penny for it, though? *Turns her notepad around again*

Dragona Pine said...

Taia: Yeah. When I was making the image I thought "Hey I'll just add a radioactivity sign in" :P
And, yay. ^^

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

(Yes. Punch Blake in the face with a war hammer please.)

Dragona Pine said...

*doesn't have a warhammer*

*has a bow*


*draws bow and knocks an arrow*


*fires arrow at Blake*

Edward Fletcher said...

*throws pebble at blake*

Dragona Pine said...

*nocks

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

(*laughs at the two very different reactions*)

Mary Contrary said...

@Dragona: *laughs* :P

Hello, Alastair! :)

Chione Asahina said...

*sends a wall of ice to block the pebble and arrow*
*looks bored*

John said...

*The projectiles hit a wall of darkness and stop dead*

I really hate it when idiots but into fights they're not a part of.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Places match on ice*

Dragona Pine said...

*raises her hands and they begin to glow red*
*fires lasers out of her palms at Blake*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Walks up to blake* Who are you callin an idiot?

John said...

You and Spectra.

*He shifts to the side a bit and the lazer flies past*

Now please but out before I start hurting you two as well.

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

*grins at Blake*
Says you?! You always but in where your not wanted..
My head hurts.

*in head*
it does? Good. This must be working then.

*groans and mushes her face into the dirt*utters into it* stop messing with my head. Your not getting out idiot.

*in head*
try me bitch.

Edward Fletcher said...

Just stand still a second blake *Places small metal disc on his back* Draona, care to fire at that please

Dragona Pine said...

*advances towards Blake, adjusting the laser accordingly to account for his movement*

*cuts one of the laser beams and then shines light in his eyes*

John said...

*He releases his hold on Silente and holds his hands at Edward and Spectra. As he takes hold of their souls the stop dead, unable to move in his grasp*

Honestly, people never listen.

John said...

((They*))

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

*gets up and dusts off*
*looks at Specta and Edward*
Let them go Blake.
*has a hand pressed to her head*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Trough clenched teeth* silente, run?

John said...

So long as they promise to mind their own beeswax I'd be glad to, they forced me into this.

Star Inkbright said...

dere we go

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

*looks at Edward*
Not till he's let you both go.
*turns to Blake*
*still has a hand against her head and is wincing slightly*
Just let them go Blake.

Edward Fletcher said...

hello star

Adra Cruciatus said...

Your art looks incredible, Star!

John said...

I'll hear them both promise to watch nicely from the sidelines like everyone else, then they can go.

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

Omg star that's great!

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks, Val. :)

It looks pretty terrible actually. XD

It was better than my friend's zombie though, and that was really the only reason I drew it, because I wanted to outdo her.
And now I feel kind of bad in case she thinks I've outdone her and gets upset, so I'm just like "Oh. That was smart of you, Star."
:P

Edward Fletcher said...

Mr. soul, if ihad my maic then this would fair but all you have manaed is to ruin my suit.

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks, Silente. :)

Dragona Pine said...

Star - that has to be like the best zombie drawing I've seen. :)

Star Inkbright said...

WOAHHHHHH THE QUALITY JUST DECREASED

-_-

*increases it by reuploading*

*you may wish to try that as well, Silente :P*

Edward Fletcher said...

very ood star
(By the way my keyboard is missin the letter between f and h so my spellin is off)

John said...

Mr. Fletcher, you and Ms. Phase rudely interrupted a fight that was not yours to interrupt. All I would like is a sincere promise that you will annoy me no longer.

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

Blake for Christ's sake just let them go!
*starts getting a nose bleed*
*winces again and grabs her head with one hand tighter*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Adrasdos Dark. It's a rather recent development; I've certainly never been in love before, but there you go. She has a lovely baby daughter named Cara, and was happily engaged to Trip Castalan before I ruined her.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Thanks, but how many have you seen? :P
(Insulding this one, I've seen two.
. . .
WOAH THIS IS THE BEST ZOMBIE DRAWING I'VE SEEN AS WELL :O
I SUDDENLY FEEL ACCOMPLISHED O_O)

@Ed: 'Sfine. :) Thanks.

Chione Asahina said...

How about, both of you fight me instead and leave my husband to his original partner hmm?

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

(*nah Silente only has a bad quality image on.her phone*)

Edward Fletcher said...

In 1200 years i have not apoloised for helpin anybody aainst somebody. i was merely helpin silente, is there a problem with that? *Offers blake a lemon*

Dragona Pine said...

(Star - four. I've seen four.)





*looks at Blake*


Does giving you cancer come under the "annoying you"?

Star Inkbright said...

(Oh, okay, Silente. :/

Can you upload pictures on my phone? :O
I couldn't on my old phone. I only got this phone on Saturday. I haven't tried. :P)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Oh. O_O
Wow.
Thanks. :O

Star Inkbright said...

*your phone

-_-

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

((@Chi AWWWWW THAT ONES SO ADORABLE AND CUTE OMG I LOVE YOUR DP!)

John said...

It comes under "try it" Ms. Phase. The last time I got sick was a few hundred years ago before Erebus decided to make me his home, he won't let his precious host be killed by something as trivial as cancer.

Dragona Pine said...

How about making you explode? Or slicing you in half with a laser? Or giving you radiation burns?

Edward Fletcher said...

Or death by lemons?

Chione Asahina said...

((Thank you Silente :3))

Again, Edward, Spectra, fight me instead. Leave Blake and Silente to their original fight.

John said...

How about I rip off all your limbs and leave your tattered torso to die in a pile of fertilizer?

Adra Cruciatus said...

Is that so?
Hmm...

*Scribbles a few things down* Well that certainly is interesting. I've talked to her a few times, but never that often.

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

*realises a stead stream of blood is coming from her nose*
*curses quietly and brings a hand up to hide it while also wiping it clean and trying to stop it*
*it doesn't stop*

Edward Fletcher said...

You must be the the life of the party mr soul

Dragona Pine said...

*turns to Chione*


I have no fight with you.



*turns back to Blake*


So... that's a no? Or is it a yes? Will exploding you annoy you?

John said...

I'm barely composed right now Mr. Fletcher, you and Spectra simply go find something else to do with your time and we can all walk away unharmed.

Edward Fletcher said...

Just whatever you do dont remove the metal band around my arm.

Chione Asahina said...

You don't have a fight with Blake either. Get away from my husband and mind your own bloody business.

Edward Fletcher said...

Chione, he is attackin an innocent person

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

*frowns feeling a warm liquid stemming from her ears too*
*presses her hand to her ear*
*looks at the blood on it*
*curses colourfully in French*
*in head*
What the hell are you doing now is not the time!
let me out
No!
in that case enjoy being forced aside
Stop it or you'll kill us!

Chione Asahina said...

They're attacking each other. They always do this. You both hand no reason to get involved. It's a littler spar. You think if Silente wasn't on the ground that she wouldn't be attacking him? you're sorely mistaken. And yet you decide to team against Blake, which is a little unfair and again, nothing to do with you. So either stay out of it, or i'll take both of you on.

John said...

If you had been here at the beginning of this fight you would know that it was agreed upon by both combatants. This is what I mean by minding your of fucking business, you have no idea how this started or which side is which. So sit your brainless ass down and watch like a good little brat!

*He slams both his hands to the ground, causing Ed and Spectra to crash into the ground and make little personal craters*

Chione Asahina said...

Have*

Mary Contrary said...

Sorry, I poofed. Researching into Greek Mythology for this idea and scribbling down stupid things. :P


@Star: O-O Your drawing is FANTASTIC. :O
*...possibly wants to draw a zombie, now, too :P*
*You know when people do really great things and you're just like WOW I WANT TO DO THAT AT SOME POINT :O*
*yeah. :P*
*hugs* :)

Probably poofing again. I like this idea and am trying to get down as many interactions and quirks as I can before my brain loses it.

Edward Fletcher said...

You will attack us while mr soul has us prisoner?

Chione Asahina said...

((GREEK MYTHOLOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*runs over and watches what Taia is doing*))

Edward Fletcher said...

*Picks up rock in crater and smashes down on band*

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: but my drawing's rubbish . . .
Thanks, though. :) :) :)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Back later, bye)

Adra Cruciatus said...

Goodbye, Edward!

Chione Asahina said...

((Bye Edward))

John said...

((Ed you're entirely frozen by my soul magic. Unless your magic type involves the soul directly you can't move unless I move you.))

John said...

((Oh and bye :L))

Star Inkbright said...

ANYWAY, I get to do word art now, so will be distant . . . !

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

*has her back turned to them all and is covering her ears with her hands*
*blood trickles between her fingers*
*on head*
STOP!
let me out and I'll stop
I'm not letting you out!
then give me time to gain control of your brains pain receptors and wait to be pushed aside
Stop it! Your not getting out!

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

(bye Edward)

Chione Asahina said...

((Taia, i'll tell you anything you want to know about Greek Mythology (that I know). I know every god and goddess there is. Not yet all of their children because of all the incest and stuff. Eww. They had huge families...I tried to make family trees, I needed far bigger pieces of paper.))

Chione Asahina said...

Mary Contrary said...

@Chi: !!! :) :) :)
I literally know nothing about Greek mythology, which is why I'm so distant learning now. :P
I'm mostly just throwing ideas around atm, basing ideas and things on stuff that I read, but it's so fun. xD

Chione Asahina said...

Omg Taia! what do you want to know? Both Blake and I know a lot. (I probs know way more cause I studied it too, for the family tree thing I did, and the greek myths book I have on my kindle that I'm not even half way through yet. 800 pages. Omg.)

John said...

((I know pretty much the entire Greek God family tree, who was related to who and how, what their powers and attributes were, the like. So if you have any questions like that ask me ^-^))

Chione Asahina said...

It is fun. Greek Mythology is so fucking amazing. It's my favourite Mythology. I love it so much. It's so interesting! I would love to study it at school... I even study it in my own time too.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm sure you'd enjoy her.

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

*sits and clutches her head in her hands*
*takes deep breaths eyes going glassy*
*moans slightly blood still flowing from her nose and ears*

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

(Bye Dragona)

Adra Cruciatus said...

Good night, Dragona!

I'm sure too, Alastair.
*Her phone buzzes* Well, it appears that I have to go on a little conquest. I'm afraid we'll have to part ways for a short while. Well, it will be but seconds from your point of view. But never mind that.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*flies past riding on the back of a bacon hawk, nods his approval at the commotion below, continues flying away*

Mary Contrary said...

@Chi: Oh! Wow! Awesome, thank you! I'll take a look around in roughs for now, and if I get somewhere with it, that'd be brilliant. C:
And, yeah. There are a lot connections. I don't know how far I'll follow all of the specifics, because it looks very complex. :P

@Chi/Blake: O_O Wow.
We never looked at anything like it in school, but it IS interesting.
I don't really know what I'm doing yet, but if/when I do, that'd be really helpful. Thanks! :D

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

*looks up at the bacon hawk*
Matex!
*stumbles to her feet watching it shrink into a dot*
Come back!
*feels a shudder wrack her body*
Shit.
*fumbles in her pocket hands slick with blood*

Star Inkbright said...

(Don't you love how so many different things interest so many different people, and how other people are really passionate and drawn to different things to you because their minds work differently and how they're drawn to things by different reasons to you and -
yes, you see, I find this interesting, but that's just me and how my mind works. :))

Chione Asahina said...

It is very complex. You can never trust the wiki page. Anyone can change it. I don't know whither to believe percy Jackson, I'm pretty sure I can cause most other things they get right so yeah.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Alright then. *melts into the grass again*

Adra Cruciatus said...

Hm... What an odd man...

*She unfurls her wings, and takes off*

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

*can't get a grip on the needle*
Blake! Help!
*shudders again*
*the blood from her ears and nose starts to slow*

Adra Cruciatus said...

Oh, gracious.
I'll dedicate to my older sibling's graduation party. People will celebrate, but I will not be one of them. I plan to be in my room.

Star Inkbright said...

C told me today about this situation in Saw (being a sadist, she likes Saw; she finds it hilarious) where there were two people and this man had thirty seconds(?) to choose which one lived and which one died. One of them didn't have any family and didn't really do much special and didn't really have anything that worthwhile in their life, but they were completely healthy. The other one had a large family and children, but they had lung cancer, there was only a slim chance of a cure and they were probably going to die in two years.
She asked me which one I would choose to die and which one I would choose to live.
*turns to everyone*
Who do you think should live and who should die?

(Obviously, whatever I said, C counter-argued me, so you people probably have an easier decision of it than me. :P)

(Mostly, I would say that you would have to know the people personally in order to judge, but you don't. You don't know any more than I've just told you.)

Chione Asahina said...

*runs over to Silente and plunges the needle into her arm and pushes the liquid in*

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Yes. C:

@Chi: *nods* Yeah. I'm mostly just flicking through and picking out vague character things, for now, though, just for vague ideas, so the Wikipedia pages are sufficient until I need some level of detail. :)
And, I haven't read Percy Jackson. But I expect that if you choose to write about things, you kind of have to know what you're talking about, really, so that'd make sense. :) ^^

Star Inkbright said...

Percy Jackson is awesome. :)

I LOVE WIKIPEDIA
DO NOT DISS WIKIPEDIA -_-

IT'S ONE OF MY EIGHT FREQUENT SITES ON MY (HALF A) NEW TABS PAGE.

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

*shivers and closes her eyes grabbing chi's hand tightly*
*the shiver stop slowly but the bleeding continues*

((@Star I think...I would chose the cancer person to die. Because its quicker and easier than cancer would be and the healthy man has a chance to change his life.))

*Only a short while later she lands again softly in front of her house, putting her things away before taking off for her caves again*

John said...

((Sorry for poofing like that, doesn't look like I missed much))

*Rolls his shoulders*

Hmph, seems the fun's all done. Oh well, it was a nice little exercise.

*gets to her feet*
*in head*

*collapses to the ground as pain ripples through her making her muscles tense up*
*face pulled in a mask of silent agony*
*in head*
P-please.

S-stop. Pain..
nope

((@Silente: Yeah . . . :) *hugs*
I said the cancer person, but I said it because they were going to die anyway, and although they still have a chance of living a full life, the other person has much more chance so they take precedence (like how zombies have a small chance of being cured, but you'd still kill them to survive because you're a living person and you have much more chance of living a human life than a zombie does so your life is worth more than theirs. Note the fact I said life, not quality of life. Your quality of life is still better in a zombie situation, but not necessarily in a cancer situation), and like you said, the other person has a chance to change their life. The fact they're picked, as well, would give them a motivation to. :)

Msd - I have to go to sleep soon. :)

Snow said...

I feel like crap ran over and yet my parents are making me go to school.

Adra Cruciatus said...

That's adorable, Alastair.

*Lands at the lip of her cave, and walks in to a few couches by a small fire- it's cooler at night in the darkness of the cave, so the fire is of benefit to her. A pile of logs sit against the wall, with enough wood to fuel her for a week. She sleeps on one of her couches, and she has a bag of some clothes and toiletries. A few folders lay on a couch*
*Sits, reclining*

Star Inkbright said...

@Snow: Aw . . . :(
*hugs tightly*
I hope school is easy on you, then. :)

Adra Cruciatus said...

Good evening, Bubble, in the event you go.

And I'm sorry to hear that, Snow.

OHMYGOD THE FAULT IN OUR STARS IS PHENOMENAL AND YOU SHOULD ALL GO SEE IT THIS WEEKEND OKAY

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: *tilts head* I always find this difficult.
I remember in year ten, we had to do an RS catch-up thing because of so many lessons being missed due to other events and occurrences. And we weren't in our normal classes.
And I had the teacher who tells the grossly sexist jokes ALL THE TIME >:(, and he spent the entire morning basically just making everybody feel crap about themselves. And then taught us the things for the RS exam for like ten minutes at the end. :P
And he used some situations like that, on that morning. Who would you kill, what would you do?
And one of them was if you walked past a river and two/three(?) people were drowning.
I don't remember the scenario exactly, but I remember one of them was an old man, who was researching into cancer cures, and he's close to making a major breakthrough. And another was a young kid.
And the old man didn't want to be saved, he wanted the young kid to live.
And you only have enough time to rescue one. And nobody else is around. And you have to do SOMETHING, right?
And the old man says that he'll die soon, and he wants the young kid to live. He might even refuse being rescued. The child has the rest of his life to live.
But the man can potentially save multiple thousands of lives.
And do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?
And so, what would you do?

And there are cases when there is just no correct answer. There's no way of acting right.
And you can argue, does that mean there's no way of being wrong either? Just because it's not right, does that make it wrong?
There's a moment or a few moments in Chaos Walking I want to reference, but spoilers and stuff. But Star, you'll probably be able to work out what some of those are, right?
And, yeah.
I don't know what I'd choose, because I'm not in that situation. I don't know what my momentary decision would be. When you're in that moment, there and then, I have no idea what my instinct would tell me to do. I don't know.
But whatever I did, the response would be guilt. Because there's always somebody who you didn't save. You always hurt people, whichever way you choose.
But I think making A decision is better than standing there and doing nothing at all, trying to work out which is less wrong.
I don't think that answers your question. But. :P

Hey Luciana!

Chione Asahina said...

Anyone can go on and change it star! I don't trust it.

Taia, I know all 12 olympions, all of their supposed children, all the titans and all their powers and stuff so if you need characters, just ask :)

Obviously that's how I got Hecate and Chione, and blake got Erebus.

Chione/Khione - Goddess of snow.
mother - Oreithyia (lady of the glades)
Father - Boreas (god of the north wind)
Twin brothers - Zetes, Kalais
Sister - Cleopatra
Birth story - Her mother was sitting on a mountain top when her father randomly came by, thought she was pretty and whisked her away and they had a baby! like most greek stories go. Insanely weird and creepy.

Hecate - Goddess of Magic, necromancy and crossroads
Father - Perses
Mother - Asteria

Erebus - god of darkness
Father - chaos (god of air)
Sisters - Nyx (goddess of night and hell hounds) and Gaia (Earth)
Brother - Tartarus

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*appears by Valencia* Hello again.

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Yawns, covering her mouth to hide it* Hello, Alastair. Care to sit?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Sure. *sits* What are you doing up here?

Mary Contrary said...

@Chi: Yeah, I noticed a lot of names and references and things when I was looking through. :)
I didn't get through all of the deities yet, because O_O, so I didn't see Chione or Hecate, yet. But I did see Erebus, and smiled inside. :P
:) :) :)

*the bleeding stops*
*as does the pain*
*sits up*
*rubs her head*

Evening all :)

Luciana said...

fLORAAAA

(Also hi everyone! Distant and may disappear...)

John said...

((Uh, Chaos wasn't the god of air. He was simply the abyss before anything else was created, he was everything and nothing.))

Chione Asahina said...

Taia - That's because Chione and Hecate aren't main ones.
The main ones are Erebus's family, the 12 Olympians and the titans.
