The next few weeks and months are going to be choc-full of announcements and reveals. In a matter of DAYS, for example, you'll be finding out more about this "270914" thing, and after that you'll be getting all kinds of juicy goodness. But TODAY, my Minions, is the day I announce something that has been in my head for YEARS.
I am proud, excited and absolutely delighted to announce that a special, exclusive gathering will take place in London on publication day, August 28th. I give you...
The Requiem Ball.
This is an invitation only get-together — a party, if you will — with 120 places up for grabs in very special competitions for Ireland and UK readers. You'll get the details of these competitions and other ways to nab yourself an invitation over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on this blog.
But you know I'd never leave the rest of you out of the action COMPLETELY, so we're going to have 250 party packs, jammed full of goodies, ready to send to you so that you can throw your own simultaneous Requiem Ball Parties at home. There'll be loads of stuff to download, whichever far-off country you're in, be it Ame-rica (am I pronouncing that right?) or Burkina Faso (yes, we notice EVERYTHING).
The Requiem Ball is basically my thank you to all of my Minions, for creating such a fun, creative, and frankly down-right crazy community around these books. I want to bring everyone together for one almighty celebration for the final book, and it's going to be EPIC.

I'll let Taw tell you
Tawnee: *smiles* I'm... Pregnant
*goes over and hugs her* congratulations you two. Oh my god
Tawnee: *smiles* I'm... Pregnant
*goes over and hugs her* congratulations you two. Oh my god
Congratulations you two *Glasses of wine appear*
Tawnee: I can't drink, sorry
*accepts wine* thank you Inks and thank you ed.
Sorry *Wine vanishes*
Tawnee: it's okay
So, are you hoping for a boy or girl ?
*The two continue through the shaded forest, now-and-again engaging in short snippets of casual conversation.*
So, how're we gonna neutralize this ghost-girl? She seems way to snoopy.
"Snoopy? I'm snoopy. You're snoopy. EVERYBODY HERE in snoopy, there's no need to insult her for it."
*Sam scowls, and takes her aggression out by pushing a branch to one side fairly viciously. Kinda lame, but whatever.*
You know what I meant. We're the good guys, 'n she's in the way.
"Don't worry, I've got a jar. Everything'll be fine."
*They walk in silence for another few moments.*
... A jar.
"Of course."
I don't mind, either gender is fine with me, what about you love?
Well done and good luck
*she followed behind, close enough to listen but not making a sound*
Tawnee: I wouldn't mind a little girl, but I would love them regardless
*hugs them both* I just can't believe it... You will have your work cut out

Can't even talk, just stuttering
This ground of mine keeps shaking
All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, yeah
Yeah

All I wanna be all I ever wanna be, yeah
Yeah

Everybody's trying to be a billionaire
But every time I look at you I just don't care
All I wanna be, all I ever wanna be, yeah
Yeah
Is somebody to you
I listened to an awful lot of crap music on the way to and from the theme park, because y'know, we had Capital on. And the music was worse than normal. It sucked.
But I really like that one song that I posted the pre-chorus and chorus of above. :)

(Byii Khi *huggles*)
(Bye, Chi!)
(Chloe, E-A-T P-I-Z-Z-A)
*gets up, helping Sil to her feet too*
You don't have to be lonely...
*smiles* yay
(ear hear)
(Good bye Chi)
(Hear hear, Sil i totally agree email is amazingly handy)
Hey
(Hello Trip)
To email!!!!!! :) Hear hear.
@Tia: People are worth just as much on their own, and I think that the idea that you're not a full person until you find someone else is a load of rubbish. I've never been in a relationship (real life, I mean), and does that make me any less of a person? No, it doesn't. So why should being in a relationship make you more of one?
Simple maths.
Also, I think often when people roleplay relationships, the characters tend to be less themselves . . . so I wouldn't say having characters be in a relationship is desirable, although of course it depends how you do it. :)
(Hey Trip! How art thou?
B but I don't like pizza...)
(Bye Chi!
Here here!)
Star, I repeatedly find that you express how I feel better than I can.
(You don't like pizza? *Is confused*)
(bye chi...)
*tilts her head at Tia*
Don't I?
(Hello boyoh <for trip)
Taw would you like to share my pizza?
PURPLE TRIP!
(A bit off, frankly. I was very stupid, and I regret it greatly. Yourself?)
@Trip: Thank you so much. :D
*hugs*
Hi. And, yay, I'm not the only one. :)
REGULAR COLOURED DUG!
I'M NOT REGULAR COLORED!!!! I'M LIKE GREEN!
WHAT COLOUR IS REGULAR COLOURED??
(*huggles Trip*
*hides* that's right... I said it! I don't like pizza!)
Tawnee: yes please hon
I DON'T KNOW!!! I THINK WHAT YOU, PERSONALLY, NORMALLY ARE!!! OR THE COLORS YOU NORMALLY ARE.
WHATEVER COLOUR DUG TENDS TO BE IS REGULAR COLOURED DUG!
@Star
Probably beige.
(But...Pizza? *Is speechless*)
(*stays in hiding* pizza is overrated and icky)
(Inky, you are a monster.)
(Hello Fabi)
DUG EMAIL
HELLO TRIPATHY!
(Pizza is amazing, pizza is the future)
Gtg
(Hear hear)
(Hello, Star. Yeah, you're right. And I've not been in a relationship myself. But I'm sad today because of a dream I had, it's making me sad and I feel stupid because I'm being sad and now I'm angry for feeling stupid and it's not a good range of feelings, really. How are you?)
Well, you could always come by the bunker if you want to spend time with me. Just don't let Tanya in, she's scary.
You don't have to be alone, you know?
Hey Fabz
(*stays in hiding* pizza is overrated and icky)
(*stays in hiding* pizza is overrated and icky)
(Bye Dugglyn)
Tanya isn't scary...well maybe a bit but still...
(*hides behind Gar* I am not a monster! That is exactly why I don't talk to people about my eating habits)
@Dugglyn and Trip: AH
I SEE :)
@Fabi: Ohmygosh yes. O_O
*hugs*
@Tia: I see . . . :(
*hugs*
I'm sorry.
Could you make your dream woman exist as a character, or would that not work?
(I see some characters, depending on how well they're characterised, as people. So.)
I'm fine. I hope you feel less sad soon. :)
(But, Pizza?)
(so what if Chloe doesn't like pizza its her choice, ok so i like pizza, coolz but at the end of the day its her choice and we should respect Chloe's choice)
ok *nods and flags a waiter over* right we want a meat feast pizza and what ever Inks and ed want
(That all I ever get off people. When I went skiing with school, all I had was people laughing at me cos I don't like food. I starved that week)
(Thanks Gar)
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
(I apologize Inky, we all have food we don't like)
(*hugs Soph*)
Liking food is like sexually liking people.
People all have different types of sexual-attraction preferences, and although most people are attracted to pizza, there's always the odd person who doesn't find pizza attractive.
I mean, some people are attracted to grapes and some people aren't. They don't get to choose their sexuality. It isn't their fault.
And then there's some people who aren't sexually attracted to anyone, or people who are sexually attracted to very few people, and that's not their fault either.
*hugs Inky*
(It's okay. But I guess my list is longer than others )
(@Star I don't know. I have no idea how difficult it will be to create a character with purple hair.
PURPLE. HAIR.
(I just remember being happy and it was because I felt I knew this person already, it's honestly like someone from a previous life.
It'd be weird if it wasn't so great...
...
I am ranting. I will go watch DW now. Will be distant, but not too distant.)
Fine, you can bring Tanya with you, but if you gang up on me and try to have a taste of my very delicious blood, I will throw you out!
Sorry.
I will though :/
(*hugs Star*)
(Hear hear Star, well said)
(*hugs Silente back*)
@Tia: Um, Trip has a character with purple hair . . . XD But I get you. :)
:/
Yeah . . .
*hugs*
I mean, you don't have the happiness anymore, but it's better that you had it and don't have it than never had it at all, yes? :)
*hugs Star. We know.
I hate Indian food.
That seems to be an unpopular opinion. I can't help it though.)
@Ed: Thank you. My sexual attraction/food metaphor is one of my favourites, currently, because it rather fascinates me. XD
(Indeed, Star.)
(distantish)
I won't gang up on you Tia!
*hugs*
(Star, you are wise beyond your years
*comes out of hiding*)
I'm just considering if anyone exists who is the food version of asexual.
Oh my gosh, that must suck. O_O
. . . Hang on.
Eating disorders.
O_O
Yes, that does suck.
O_O
Like -

if you go off food or whatever, you can't leave it for a few weeks and see if you like it later, can you? :O
And like -

you haev to eat.

I dedicate the page I got a few pages ago to those with eating disorders . . . *hugs*
