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.

(Hello Snow)
(Hello, Snow. I am depressed, yourself?)
(Hey Snow

*starts singing if you're happy and you know it*)
(*Claps hands*)
Awwwww my gerbils are cuddling.-Zaf

(*smoles and claps along*
What's up Xan?)
(That reminds me of a t-shirt,
its a t-rex and it says "if you're happy and you know it clap your..... oh
(Depressed average. I'm always depressed. *shrugs*)
@Garrett: :) I know that one.
(Hello Gar)
(*huggles Xan* I'm always here to talk. I council all my friends ^^)
*rolls around on the floor* meeehhhhhh
My friends just tell me I sound like a preacher, or ignore me, or impatiently say "Yes, we know."
XD
Plus I'm rather unsocialable and am really bad at staying in contact with real life friends, so y'know.
Plus I never know what to say . . .
I used to be good at cheering people up. :/
*sighs and leaves her RP for tonight* I'm just gonna go... Everyone is depressed and Sil or Blake aren't here... Night everyone. or morning. Or Afternoon
(Bye Chione, sorry)
(Byii Khi
*to Xan* I try my best to make people smile)

punctuation saves lives)

@Inky: O_O

(Everyone I talked to liked it
But I will have to write a commentary on it and I don't think I have enough to talk about
Everyone says how great my fight scene was XD)

I DONT REALLY THINK IM ROLL MODEL MATERIAL
BUT
ASDFGHJKLASDFGUJKLJGSGDUWK
D:
Shit
O_O
Well, good luck.
I don't like fight scenes. It's weird, but in pure action scenes, my mind often just drifts off and I stop paying attention . . . movies and books both.
I think my brain just isn't action-wired. Emotions all the way, you know. :)
@Snow: O_O
WELL
GOOD LUCK!!!
AND I THINK YOU ARE ROLE MODEL MATERIAL. :) :)
( it wasn't a big fight scene ^^
I had a limit f 750 words but I wrote 834 ...)

(Welcomes Ed ^^ feeling better?
And that's a good one Tiger!)
(A bit better

(If you want ^.^ *huggles*)
(hear hear,
hello again ed)
(Thank you wolfie (<a new nickname for you that i just made up)
have fun snow)
(Wolfie is cute ^.^)
(You begin if you wish. And thank you)
*sighs* I still feel like I've done something to piss everyone off.-Zaf
She's going out to forget they were together
All that time he was taking her for granted
She wants to see, if there's more
Than he gave
She's looking for
He calls her up; he's trippin' on the phone now
He doesn't want her out there and alone now
He knows she's movin' it
Knows she's using it
Now he's losing it
She don't care
*Cuddles Zaf*
Haven't pissed me off!!
(I try to make everyone happy :@) and ok)
*sits in pizzeria*
*smiles*
(Hello Death and Zaf)
(Hey Death ^^ how art thou? And Zaf, you haven't pissed me off. It is hard to piss me off)
Hey Rose *cuddles* -Zaf
*Stares across city thinking*
(Hello Rose how be you?)
(Hello Zaf how be you?
and you haven't pissed me off)
Hey Ed.
I'm okay Penguin. Really tired and stressed and constantly on the verge of tears, but I'm play. You??
@Inky: :) Well
you're nice
so y'know. :)
Yay.
Hey Zaffy *Nuzzles*
I hope so.....*nods*
Did you sleep Rose? Loki is asleep shockingly. -Zaf
(Thanks Star
And don't worry bout me death *huggles* forcing your self to smile can help improve your mind)
Ed? Why is it? *tilts head*
A surprise
Naw, Loki sleeping... I slept... Rather well, all things considered. I'm just catching up on sleep from ages ago, and that's killing me... So tired... At least I'll get rid of the bags under my eyes!!
*what
Penguin???
A surprise?
Yes, a surprise
See you can sleep! Sleep is usually nice.-Zaf
I am awake now. Zanida woke me up.
(I have been staring at the little flashing cursor for ages now. And it isn't because I have nothing to dedicate to. It's the fact I can't choose what to dedicate to. I struggle for ideas. I always struggle for ideas about anything. I am not an imaginative person.
I could plan an attack no problem. I could make a defensive strategy to protect a planet - sure. But I can't come up with ideas for something to dedicate a page to. Which I find odd.
It has occurred to me whilst I am writing this that there are lots of things I find odd.
I find nice people odd. I find certain individuals odd *coughs* Star *coughs* for various reasons.
But the more I think about it, the more I think odd things are some of the best things. There are some things which really stand out. And standing out is good, is it not?
So I dedicate the previous page to oddness. For making things, and people, stand out.
In addition, I dedicate the previous page to Silente Tempest and Star Inkbright.)
What sort of surprise? *smiles*
A surprising one
(Hear hear!)
Thank you, Sophia.
*hugs*
Thank you. :)
:)
I haven't slept this long and this well in years... It's odd...
Zan!! You horrible person... You should have let him sleep!!
Hi Loki.
*iggles* I guess that's the whole point... Will you tell me what it is?
(Hear hear)
Wbd... School morning...
(Yes Death?)
I could, or I could show you
(Hear hear soph, good ded)
Really? Yes please *smiles*
*smiles* *they appear next to inkys pack in the past*
*laughs* She woke me but its okay, I am glad you slept.
*gasps* we we're... My pack? *turns to him*
It's a wedding present *smiles* now have fun
But... What about your rules...*smiles*
(You don't sound okay, Inky...)
*She left Zaf's arms and waddled into Loki's*
I'm glad I slept too. But now I'm more tired... But I can just fall asleep in your arms...
I can take us back if you want, rules are made to be broken
(I'm fine
Just a little pissed off, but everyone seemed so sad so I tried to cheer everyone up ^^)
*shakes head* no, this is perfect. *kisses him* thank you
(*Cuddles Inky*)
(Inky, what's wrong?)
*laughs and holds her close* Then sleep in my arms, you're beautiful in sleep. You'll feel more awake after you finish what you need to do in the morning.
(*huggles Death*)
Don't worry about it, now have fun
Sorry Soph. I promised I wouldn't storm off if I got upset and I just broke that promise...sorry...
I'm not beautiful in my sleep. I probably say really weird things... And snore... Ew, what if I slept with my mouth open...?
*She chuckled and pulled on his arms, trying to get him to sit*
(It's fine. A friend of mine randomly came on Facebook and started taking the piss and stuff and I had led it worse than I should have
But I'm fine now)
you are all too awesome for words...
*smiles and leads him to village square where a festival was taking place*
(*hugs Silente* It's fine, honestly. If storming off helps you, you can storm off - as long as you come back. Being alone is never good when you are upset.)
(Hey Em, how art thou ?)
(*hugs Inky*)
(Hello em)
(Right back at you, Em.)
*sits up* Hmmm...you mutter my name often.
(*huggles Ed* I shouldn't of dnapped*)
*follows to festival*
i'm okay, I guess.
oh and Rose I replied to the email from earlier, don't know if you've seen it yet...
*loads of werewolves are pissed* want a drink?
(Inky, I am here if you wish to talk)
(*hugs back* im still sorry...I promised I wouldn't.)
Do I look like I drink ? Yes please
(*smiles* I'm alright now ed, but thanks ^.^
People here cheer me up)
I don't... Loki, you lie...
*She snuggled into his chest happily*
(Em, I'll reply to it when I'm at school, okay? I don't have the time for long replies...)
*gets him some wine* werewolves are notorious party animals *gets pint o cider. *
(And I know that you try your best to keep to your promises. And trying your best is all anyone can ask of you. Regardless of whether you succeed, it is the fact that you try which is the important part.)
So I can see *drinks*
*disappears to read a book* i may be back later)
(Why aren't you angry? I broke my promise...your trust...I don't understand.)
(Might be back later)
*smiles*
*after a drink* want to dance?
*laughs, kissing her cheek* I do not. Have you figured out if my army will be expanded?
(Byii Ed and gar )
(There is more to trust than promises, Silente. My trust in you has not wavered.)
(I should go
I have hm to do and I don't have long
Night all)
(good night flick..
But..I don't understand. Why aren't you angry at me?)
Not yet, my love... Give it a few days, then I'll talk to your sister. I don't know how to do that circley thing...
*She laughed and nestled her head in his shoulder*
(I have no reason to be angry at you. If I had a reason - I would be. But I don't. So I am not.)
Days....My sister is on this realm....*is quiet*
(But...the promises..
*She pecked his jaw*
Fine... We'll see now, okay? If you can get her here, we'll see.
(It would be silly to think that a promise would cover every single circumstance that would arise. If someone promises me something, I expect them to try their best. Not to keep to it no matter what. Because that would be unwise.)
*kisses her and Zanida comes in*
Zanida: What's going on? Oh...
(...you're too good to me...you really are...)
*She smiled at Zan and then at Loki*
Uh... Can you do that magic hand thing...? To see if he's going to have a bigger army, as he likes to call it...?
(Be back in 20)
(I am not too good to you. I am just simply stating what I think.)
((K Rose, you may or may not hear screams or sobs from America....Johnson MAY end up still in the Chase if this works out....-Zaf
(You are..)
(Hey Zaf..)
*waves* *Driver i root for is fighting to win* *can hardly watch* *heart beating rapidly* -Zaf
(I am back.
I am terrible at helping people, Silente. Which is why I am honest instead. If I was too good for you, I'd try and make things up to help you.)
(No if you made stuff up you wouldn't be too good for me...you'd be lying.)
(I see. I still am not in any way too good to you.)
(You are. You're amazing.)
(Back...)
(*shakes head* I really am not.)
(Hello again, Rose.)
(Hey Soph.)
(you are Soph.)
(I'm okay. Class is about to start...)
(We should probably agree to disagree, Silente. We could continue all night. *hugs her* Thank you for thinking so, even if I know you are wrong.
Which class, Rose?)
(I'm not wrong...for once...
I should sleep..)
I'll wait then...-Zaf
(If you are tired, you should sleep, Silente.)
(Humanities, first...)
((I always have Chemistry :/ -Zaf
(Fun...)
*cuddles* -Zaf
(*Cuddles Zaf back*)
(I might be going to TAFE for night courses soon...)
(Hello.)
(Soph you are amazing.
And stubborn.
Just now you're being stubborn when I say you're amazing.)
(Hey Tia)
((Ah. -Zaf
(Hmm...?)
(Hey El)
Zan said she'll do the circle.-Zaf
(*Cuddles Zaf*
Tell her I say thanks)
(What's up, El?)
(Humanities class... Exam revision...)
Zanida: Come here Rose.
*tacklehugs Rose* Hey :)
(Hey Zaffy and El!
*says in Joey Tribbiani's voice: "How you doin'?"*
(Yep... Stupid Mondays...)
*She wearily got out of Loki's arms and walked up to Zan*
(*Squeals at the tacklehug and laughs at Tia* Hey!!)
(All is ok, El.
Rose, get Loki a hammer for Christmas :D
It's the thought that counts :D
Ah, the hilarity.)
Zanida: *quickly does the circle thing, smirking*
(Oh, God, Tia. No. If anything, I'd get him a sword. Or something sharp... Or something he could kill something else with...)
*She blushed when Zanida smirked*
Shut up... I know what you're thinking and don't keep thinking that...
*She looked down at the aura thing, biting her lip. Then she gasped and hugged Zanida tightly when she saw a small circle*
Loki!
(Okay so I'm just browsing around Youtube and naturally I came across a pretty messed up thing: This song.
Nightmare warning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egfg4PyPXUU)
*sighs* Hi. Thanks a bunch, Blake...
(I was joking, Rose.)
I knew it would work.
Zanida: Too early for gender, but hey!
(I sense quite a bit of sarcasm in that, Tia. Still, you are very welcome. Hello everyone here.
*Takes a bow, rather proud of his ability to hand out free nightmares*)
(I'll check it out later, Blake. Hi, also.)
(Tia, I know, but still...)
*She reached for Loki, grinning*
You odd person... Thank you Zan!
*hugs Rose close* Good, good.
Zanida: *goes back to her room to hunt down Ricci*
I'm here
*She rested her head against his chest*
You're army just got a little bit bigger.
(Hey Chev)
(Hey Rose, how are you?)
