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.

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4268 Newer› Newest»Hello Luciana, how be you?
(Hello, Luci.
How have you been, and how are you now?)
(*hugs Zaf*)
They are lying. They do not know me, you do. Honestly, if I have Asgard why would I want Earth? Think logically, I want to take you out, somewhere, just anywhere you want. *sighs* I don't want anything else, look at me, I want to just die if it means I have to live this life alone. Your friends are biased against me because not one of them took time to talk to me.
(Hey, Gar!)
Uh hello people c:
I am tired. And stressed. And ill. But also wonderful because I finished college hella early today anD SEVEN DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS <3
Seven days until I get to go see my man. Super hyped for that:3
How are all of youuuuuuu?
Argh. I now I've got to take my leave as well. I'm tired... that's it, mostly. Sleep.
I'll go with this promise. Over the summer, when I have more free time I'm going to make an effort to start talking here again. I probably won't rp, but, you know, chatting is always nice.
(Good bye, Nixion, and take care!)
Hi/bye, Nix!
Loki... El had a point... There's no talking between us, no love, it's just cuddling and kissing...
I don't know who I'm supposed to trust anymore... You still have Astrid waiting in the wings and Thor promised me that he wouldn't let you die... So too bad.
(good bye Nixion)
(I'm good, right now thank you)
(Hello Tia, how be you?)
(Yay L!!! I'm okay, I've got a funeral tomorrow so :'( )
(I'll see you then, NIXYPOOS!!)
I don't have Astrid, she swore she would stay a maiden, so I don't. You want to talk, tell me and I will talk. Again, your friends do not know me. They believe the tales told to them, they live their lives ignorant to the truth. I love you and I do not want to hurt you, they think I lied. They are deluded. Oh, and I will simply go to Jotunheim where he hates, then you'll leave the twins fatherless.
*cuddles Rose* Long time no speak! How've you been?
Awh, I'm sorry:(
*She listened to him, and eventually looked away*
Loki... I don't know what to talk about... I don't even know a lot about you...
You know, if you leave the twins, I'm leaving too. Volcanoes are supposed to be a good way to die.
Then let's find something....
((I have class now :( bye-ZF
(*Cuddles L back*
I've been good, I've been bad, I've been stressed and in pain and horrified and disgusted and elated and a whole heap of other emotions... You?)
Let's...
(Bye Zaf...
Msd...)
... Pretty much same, Rose.
It's raining really heavily and it's absolutely gorgeous. I love England sometimes:3
(*disappears to play slenderman*
I'm playing it on my xbox)
Hi guys! I just read the comments above and I realised something.
And I'm wondering how to phrase it.
*pause*
I'm sorry, guys...
We've got one heckuva age gap. XD
Granted, it isn't that much, but still. I feel like a moron. :P
*will lurk here for a bit*
...is anybody here?
*points to above comment*
Helllllllllo, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the brand new show, POINTLESS QUESTIONS WITH FAY!
*cue applause*
I am still here. And will continue to be.
...
Seriously? Nobody?
*realises you're all either in school or in the US, or any other inconvenient timezone*
*sigh*
Random thought:
There are so many people I'll never know. The sheer multitude of those people is just mindblowing. Even in school, even on here, so many people.
Random thought 2:
There are so many people who'll never know me or realise I exist. I'm fine with that, honestly, but a little shaken by that thought. If that sounds arrogant, then that's because yes, it is, slightly.
Random thought 3:
Does anybody have the following moment-
You're on a bus or a train or whatever, and you're bored. You start to look around at all the people, and it slowly occurs to you the amount of life in that place.
Each of those people have their own lives and it's amazing how thanks to a web of events we all ended up in the same place at the same moment. I dunno, I just find it beautiful.
Random thought 4:
Everything's a little weird if you think about it. Like music. How did the human race even come up with the idea of it?
And celebrities. They were (presumably) just ordinary people, once, and now they're on reality shows (those are weird, too) getting fame and money for, well, living.
Of course, this doesn't apply to all celebrities.
Random thought 5:
I really, really need to just shut up now. So that's what I'm going to do in

YES ANOTHER PERSON :D
Ahem.
Hi, Sophia!
(Hello, Phoe. How are you?)
I'm good. In a quiet, I don't know what to think, empty kind of way.
How're you? :)
(I see. That sounds peculiar.)
It is, in a way. But I like it.
(I am average. A little more depressed than normal but it happens most years, and I'm slightly amused, and a little pissed off. But a calm pissed off. Which is odd.)
(I like the quiet much more than noise. I dislike loud people intensely, for example.)
It's nice, feeling quieter, you get to think more...
Anyway, anything going on in your corner if the world?
I don't usually mind loud people, but depending on what the situation is, I may/may not get annoyed. :P
(Indeed. Though if I think too much I overthink and get even more depressed which is not a good idea.
Literally nothing. Which is irritating. Yourself?)
I'm trying to sign up to Tumblr, and it isn't working.
If I'm distant, by the way, blame Tumblr. And Apple. And me, for being an idiot. :)
(Alright. Though I would not consider you an idiot. I would more say you have an inability to multitask. Which I also suffer from. I can generally only focus on one thing at a time. I attempt to make up for that by making sure I do what I'm focusing on to the best of my ability.)
Hello, Sophia.
My author is thinking about jumping off a landed Kodiak onto an unexplored planet, full of possibility, excitement and danger.
((I'm happy, for once.))
(Jumping out of a Kodiak on to an unexplored planet is not a good idea.)
But think of what you could discover!
(How are you, Soph? How is Dragona?)
(Think about what could discover you.
I am a little more depressed than normal, amused slightly and a little pissed off.
As for Dragona, I believe he is fine.
Yourself?)
Purple fuzzy elephant leaves.
*nods*
*if I am here Mbd and Msd*
Hullo. I'm good. Little tired and weak but good enough to be in school! (Which is good because I get so bored staying home and I hate having to make up work)
How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!
(I am a little more depressed than normal, amused slightly and a little pissed off. My eyes are fine, thank you.)
(That is an odd combo. Hope you get un-notnormal-depressed soon! Glad your eyes are good! Gtg)
(Goodbye, Dugglyn.)
(But that's the thrill of exploration. Mapping the way, breaching the unknown.
Not your job, I get it, but it's still exciting.)
(More shit has happened to me on explored planets than unexplored ones.)
(I get this feeling of unhappiness from you...)
(I haven't been happy in eight years. It tends to happen.)
(I will be back soon.)
(I am here my darlings ^^)
ZATH AND NIX AND SPARKY WERE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
. . . And I missed htme, but MEH. :P
(Hi Star! And I saw ^.^)
*them
@Inky: :D
They were my very first blogfriends from my original gen. <3
:(
I miss too many people . . .
(You are one of my oldest friends ere
I remember them ^.^)
@Inky: :) Yeah . . . I remember you.
. . .
I mean, I'm talking to you now, but I remember you when you were new. :P
(Hehe yep ^.^
Back in the good ole days XD)
Yeah . . . :/
I think I miss those days. But y'know. I'm happy now. :)
(Same, when all we did was chat
Then I
Sorta disappeared and I came back and there was to... I was like wtf? But in a good way)
Mmmmmmmmmmh
There was roleplay then chat and then roleplay again.
I miss chatting. I won a certificate for talking, y'know. XD
*NEVER GONNA SHUT UP ABOUT THAT*
Bbs, dinner. :)
Okay ^^)
(I have a habit of forgetting flick is Clog, who has been in blogland longer than me..)
(Hey Sil ^^ how art thou?£
(I'm alright, SilTC is angry at me.)
(Awww why?)
(Partially because i didn't come on earlier.
Mainly because I laughed when she was called a ball magnet.)
(*smirks* I wouldn't like to be called a ball magnet)
(Apparently neither does she. She's angry cause I laughed. And yes it was meant in the innuendo way.)
(Not more innuendos! *tries not to laugh* it's not nice to laugh at someone Sil)
(Oh come on! She was called a ball magnet! Of course I'm gonna laugh.
Sil: I will gag you.)
(Hey Xan *hi fives him* how art thou?)
(I'm good
Worried about what?)
(Sil: *glares* say that again Xan and I will gladly murder Erica.)
*laughs* XD
Hi Xan. :)
. . . *just remembers I wasn't here*
Oh, hi. :P Um, yeah. Sorry, got back, started doing German and forgot I wasn't ghosting and then forgot I was ghosting. *frowns*
(Hmm sometimes I look in the mirror and realise how slim I am
Maybe I should eat more than one full meal a day)
@Inky: O_O Maybe.
Question.
Are you not hungry?
(I am starving
But I can't eat breakfast in the morning because it makes me feel icky
I only have a couple of sandwiches for lunch and then a full meal when I get home)
(Aww Xan, hope it goes well)
(Sil: do you think I'm joking Xan? I have killed more innocent people for worse reasons. I once beat a day old baby to death with its own rattle simply because it looked at my employed wrong. Do not test me.)
(Sil: go on. Make one more snide remark. See where it gets you.)
(*watches things unfold*)
(Sil: *glares* good.)
(Sil: *smiles twistedly* she'll die the day you do.)
(DUG! I KNOW YOU READ BACK THE COMMENTS SO EMAIL!)
@Inky: :/
Oh.
*hugs*
(*huggles Star*)
(Sil: I highly doubt that.)
(Sil: let's hope I never have to prove you wrong.)
(*hugs Soph*)
Okay. English then Drama. Then what?
*makes a hologram over her hair, changing It's colour from silver to black, knowing it'll make her look even paler and smiling*
(*hugs Silente back*)
Claire: Then there's a break! And then there's Geography and lunch and then two lessons of games!
(:O Double Games? O_O
*has never experienced such a thing*)
...double games? We didn't buy games kits...or stationary...shit.
(I would have loved double pe in school... atleast I do circuits, tabata and kung fu)
(See, I didn't take PE for GCSE.
And Sil and Claire haven't taken their options yet, presumably. O_O)
Claire: Don't worry! They have a shop-thing where you can buy stationary and they said that we could buy the kit on the first day! Luckily I bought some cash.
Yeah. Lucky.
You realise that means you have to get changed in front of other girls. Who'll see the armour.
Claire: Protective gear for rugby?
@Xan: Yes.
But we have PE once a week and Games once a week, and that's it as far as compulsoryness goes. O_O
Except this year we only have PE/Games once a week because they gave us an extra IT lesson instead. :P
As if. No schools do girls rugby (sexist twats)
Girls don't normally play rugby.
Although we've got given the option of contact rubgy for the past few weeks . . . and one of the girls got tackled quite harshly and hurt her arm and had to go to hospital and has had it in a sling for the past few weeks. XD
Lol.
(Games? we only had pe)
*has had it in a sling for the past few days
Sorry.
Games is really like PE.
Games tends to be just hockey/rugby/football/netball/rounders/cricket. PE varies more.
Claire: *frowns* I may have to remove it at some point. What do girls do in games?
(We only did those things in PE)
Short sleeved shirts, shorts and long socks. And trainers.
Claire: They're not sports...
(sorry thought you said what do they wear *facepalm*)
Hockey, football, volley ball, net ball, bench ball, dance, gymnastics, fitness, track, that sort of stuff. Rounders too.
Claire: What the hell is bench ball? Something you play sat down?
*sighs* They sound horrible... But I think I'll be good at them.
Wait, do they do dodgeball?
Bench balls is where one person stands on the bench opposite their teams starting half. The aim is to throw the ball to them. If they catch it you go on the bench. The first to get all their team on the bench win.
Some do. Some rarely do. Most don't.
(*cries* I missed Sparky... *goes into a corner and cries*)
(Hello, Chione.)
Claire: That sounds... something where telekinesis would come in useful.
I hope they do dodgeball.
*starts to near the school*
((*walks to the corner and holds Chi, rocking her slightly, stroking her hair* shhh...))
(*huggles Khi* Hello Khi)
*laughs* that's cheating!
Claire: Some people are strong or they're flexible... Well, I'm both. And I have telekinesis. There's no cheating. I'm using my initiative.
It's using magic.
Claire: They won't know that!
(my stomach has the rumblies, that only hands can satisfy...)
(I'm afraid I have no spare hand that you can eat, Chloe.)
(its from llamas with hats...)
*sighs and rolls her eyes*
*eyes the gates*
Ready for your first day at school?
(I have no idea what that is but it sounds an even stranger concept than eating a hand.)
Claire: *nods* I think. Are you? Well, this won't be your first, right? But your first in a while?
(its a video...)
(About llamas in hats eating hands?)
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB92yoK242s
this is it)
(Do you think it is something I would have an interest in?)
I never went to school. I was tutored at home. Technically this is my first day too.
(it has loads of mini clips, so you may like some of them, you may not like others. one vid, one llama blew up a city and attached faces to balloons)
(one of them is a killer llama, but the other is telling him off)
(I see.)
Claire: Aww... Thank you for coming with me. *walks through the school gates*
Of course I was going to come with you Tara you idiot!
*rolls eyes*
What you think I'm staying at home? Letting you make friends and learn without me?
*hugs sil and inky*
Sil, sorry I'm not really on right now, me and Cassidy and Blake and Xan are talking about our requiem ball.
(>^~^)># ( here is a waffle Khi)
(That's fine Chi..love you sis, okay?)
Claire: I don't know. *shrugs*
*walks into a year eleven student who stepped in front of her* *takes a step back* I'm sorry!
Boy: Fuck off. I heard what you and your sister did to Kate.
*moves to her side*
Hey back of jerk! I don't know who Kate is but we haven't done anything!
I love you too Sil, but the ball won't be in Glasgow. It'll be in East Kilbride (but its just one train from Glasgow central and i'll meet you there if you're still coming) and its the 10th of January now...
Boy: Oh really? That isn't what she says. She says you attacked her.
Claire: Just leave us the hell alone.
(Hmm. Trickier, but i can still try :)
As if. Leave is alone. Come on Tara.
*steers Claire away from the boy*
(I want to come, but I don't know if my parents will allow it)
Ello ello ello, what's going on 'ere then?
(*Waves from Aus*)
Aww Inky I really hope you can make it! when Is your birthday? say it's a birthday or new years Christmas
Boy: *stands in their way again* Not so fast. You have to pay the gatekeeper.
Claire: *sighs and punches him in the jaw, making him collapse to the ground*
(I want to Xan...I just might struggle.)
(Hello, Rose. You mentioned something earlier about a laptop? Is it broken?)
*laughs, stepping over him with Claire*
Nice shot sis.
(Hey Trip and Death!
My birthday is June, so id have to say Christmas. I have family up in Scotland so I should visit them and my baby cousin who has cancer)
Claire: *shrugs* Not the best.
(Flicks idea: I have family there
My idea: how good am I at lying..
xD)
Good enough.
(Im a crap liar, and I wouldn't be able to pull it off, its such a long journey from south Wales ^^)
(Aw, I'm sorry.)
(How many welsh people do we have at the moment?)
(I don't know how good I am at lying...not to this scale. I'd need a friends help that's for sure.)
(3 welsh, me Taia and Gar.
Im meeting Gar at Comic Con)
Claire: It did the job, indeed. So we have English... which is... This way. *pulls Silente to the left down a corridor*
(So we literally have the whole population of Wales on the blog. :D)
(Hello. So much work)
*follows*
Don't we need stationary first?
(Hey Eddy Boy! how art thou?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KiN2OAkWNU I love this series)
Claire: CRAP. *pulls Silente back the other way to the shop* *buys packs of stationary for them both*
(Well I have just done hours of resistant materials coursework, so good. How are you?)
(im great thanks ^^)
*laughs*
Smart.
*checks no ones watching and makes a holographic black backpack with a giant blue sigil glowing on it that makes it physical*
*packs the stationary into it*
*sitting in a tree, Trip lowers his binoculars*
Intriguing...
Claire: Come on. We need to go to English.
*Sits in tree next to Trip* So, what you doing?
Okay.
*walks back the way they came*
*walks around* Hello Trip! Ed!
Hello Inky
*tacklehugs Sil* Hey :)
How are you? How is everybody?
Spying on Silente and Claire. It seems that Silente can do something rather interesting.
And also, three women about eighty degrees to our right are getting worried about me sitting in a tree and inspecting the school with my binoculars.
Claire: It's in the room E1...
(Hey Tia, how art thou?)
*smiles* how are you sweetie?
Hey Tia! I'm well thanks.
----------------
Hi Inky. I'm just spying on children.
Oh, I will leave you to your spying then *falls out of tree* Have fun
Fine, how does it feel to be leader of your pack?
*hugs him* So, what do you want to do?
It is good. how do you feel about it?
E1? Uh..
*points at a door*
That one.
(*hugs Tia* hey how are you?)
Bar?
Claire: Okay... *walks in cautiously*
*nods* okay! *smiles*
*laughed at Trips Welsh joke*
*now really has to go*
*hugs everyone*
I think its a good idea you being the leader
(hey! theres more people in Wales than that, boyo!)
(Hello, Chloe Awesome, I am good, and are you awesome?
Sil! How are youuu?
Hey Trip, Soph and Ed!!! How are you todayyy???)
(Bye Chione)
*smiles* you think so? I don't feel like id do a very good job
(Hello Tia, fine thanks, how are you?)
Toodloo.
*begins to looks through his binoculars*

(Byii Khi

You will be a great leader
