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 1401 – 1600 of 4268 Newer› Newest»Emma Pass, one of my favourite authors, is supporting me with wanting to move away.
*doesn't dare comment because comment count is looking dangerous and oh no this could be first couldn't it*
*shakes of metal droplets*
My gift to you
*hands Silente brand new throwing knife with intricate patterns on it.*
... I hate this blog ...
*points at Luci*
You have to ded!!!!
Can I not refuse to ded as usual...?
*Signs emerald's paper*
Hey Luci!
*takes the knife in her hands gently testing its weight*
Thank you...
*throws it in the air and catches it*
*nods*
You could....
Do I address you as General ma'am?
Hey Silente.
Sorry if I'm distant. Having a bit of a dilemma and arguing with my family about me wanting to move away for uni... Emma said she moved away - almost 300 miles - and she never regretted it, so...
L is my preference. But most people call me Luci/Lucy/Luce or Lu.
*shakes head*
Thank you so much! *shakily takes paper from Vivanus* *grins happily and poofs coz battery*
*darn you, stupid lack of covenient plug points*
*seethes*
:)
*smiles and empties on of her sheaths for it*
*slides it home and puts the dagger she removed up one sleeve*
Bye Fee!
Hello Lokster.
Sorry, I used to be a Cleaver. L, I am at you command.
Silente, would you like another knife so you can have a pair?
The organic designated "Loki" is present.
of Asgard-Loki, have you received repairs since this unit last interacted with you?
Sure! What do you, like, charge?
Silente, that blade has the same properties of a cleaver blade. It will cut very we.
It will cut very we?
Well
So yes I charge...but not with money. Anytjing you want to offer?
What would you need? What do you need? Ask and I'll see what I can do.
I don't need anything. There are things I WANT however.
*winks*
Sorry for the caps, I don't have Italics
*grins*
And what would those be?
*raises an eyebrow*
(to do italic you put < i > this will be italic if you get rid if the spaces between the < and the i )
*begins next knife*
(oh and you need to put < / i > without the spaces to end the italics.)
Things I want
So. What is it you want then?
I want a hug but...I'm covered in hot metal
*sags*
*mutters about hugs*
*looks at the hot metal*
Hmm. That is a pickle. Can you get rid of the hot metal?
This unit can effectively dispose of the hot metal if it is required.
I know not what you mean, Midgardian. I am perfectly fine. *eyes Silente* Vampire.
Well done, you can name a species! Maybe one day you'll even be able to say the word Silente in the correct context!
*eyes Loki*
*looks at Loki*
You need maintenance. Your operating system is faulty.
You need repairs. *smirks, looking at Silente* You are a vampire. I said the correct name for you. I am not like my sister, who would call you by your name.
*smirks back*
Give my regards to Thor when you run back to Asguard with your tail between your legs
*turns her back on him*
Perhaps I should dedicate. It has been a long time since I last did such a thing…
I’ve never been great at dedications, so, please, bear with me:
Life is not all cuddles and teddy bears, nor is it purely pain and cruelty; it is a mixture of both. Life, though it may not seem this way, is not just black and white. Life is more like a rainbow. And, yes, I understand that there is an awful lot of darkness in this world, but a little bit of sunshine in the rain can create one of the most beautiful wonders in this world.
Anyway, in my mind, you are the sunshine; you all allow for the rainbow to appear, because you shed light on dark situations and give me cuddles when I’m down. You understand that, even if I don’t tell you how I am feeling, I need to not be alone and you’ll e-mail me or message me or text me or whatever and check I’m okay. You always all seem to be there for me, even when I don’t realise I need someone. You stop me from making ridiculous decisions and you are just… you’re fantastic.
So, what I think I’m trying to say is, uh… I dedicate this page to Bloglandians, because it is you who 1. Makes the comments section of this blog Blogland, 2. Keeps me going when I’m feeling down, 3. Inspires a lot of my writing, 4. Sheds light on dark situations. I love you guys for being there for me when I need you, but I love you mostly for just being alive. Being here. Being you. There’s nobody else quite like you and I am honoured to be able to say that I know someone as perfect as all of you are. I am honoured to have friends like you. So, yeah, this dedication sucks, because I’m in a crappy mood and I’m just speechless again at how much you all do for each other and for me and I’m sorry that this dedication sucks, but it’s here and it’s for all of you. Because you’re perfect to me. Thank you.
Why would I run back to Asgard? I have no intentions of leaving this realm.
Zanida: *comes out from the forest, and stands beside Loki* Silente, you know Loki and I will not leave. If Thor really had any idea where we were he'd have asked Heindal to look for us.
This unit requires no repairs. Your data is incorrect. You need updating.
Here here Lucifer. Cheer up as soon as you can. *spreads glitter on her head*
You might leave. You haven't been here long enough to sat you wont.
*smiles cruely*
And you haven't had enough experiences to say you won't either.
I have been to Midgard before, you are just as stupid as you were last time.*doesn't even acknowledge Zanida is beside me*
*completely ignores Loki*
How are you Zandia? And how's you brother? I doubt he'd answer if I asked him
Brb food!
This unit does not consider itself a "midgardian". You have not encountered one of our species before.
Zanida: I'm fine. So is he, I guess.
You can see my dilemma
Here, let me try something...
Ok all the metal's gone.
(Back!)
That's good to hear Zandia. Keep an eye on him. He's gonna get himself killed if he isn't careful.
Well you know what Viv, I've been nearly burnt alive before. A little molten metal can't be that bad...right?
And now they're gone.
*walks away sadly*
Zanida: I know, I keep an eye on him daily.
*vanishes*
Zanida: I wonder why Frigga ever shared her magic with him. I really do.
Wait
*turns around*
You called me Viv!
You called me Viv!!!!
As do I Zandia. As do I...
Yeah I called you Viv...do you not like being called Viv?
Oh its fine Elleni, I wasn't angry. I was just asking. :)
I love being called Viv, you may now have become my favorite person here!!!
You can have unlimited knives for free
Oh. Well not peoples normal reactions to me but yey!
*smiles at him*
Elleni, if I get you to admit you lose will you admit defeat?
*appears and notices Vivanus* Who are you, Midgardian?
Yes, Viv is perfect!
Bye, I got to go.
See you later.
*winks at silente*
I am me!
Okay Silente I admit that you win
Bye Viv!
I would never surrender. Everyone knows that. Nice try Elleni.
IMPOSTER! I AM THE REAL SILENTE TEMPEST!
Trying to impersonate me. It's just RUDE
Indeed it was. Please forgive me.
*makes Dragona look like Silente* Now that would be a great impression. Or perhaps *makes Silente look like Niccolò* Hmmm...manly.
*glares*
Seriously? Nic? Or where you thinking along the lines if Alastair instead?
Speaking of I'm a killing mood..
How against me killing a small child are you Loki? On a scale of 1 to I will kill you of you try.
I do not prefer the deaths of children. *Silente is herself again*
That really isn't much of an answer.
*spins on her heel*
I suppose I should thank you for taking control of Zaf, after all I'd probably be in a goal if you hadn't.
*spins to face Loki*
So are you gonna try prevent me from what I want to do.
*Sits in a ball against a tree, watching the two*
Hey Valencia.
*Is watching from the top of the tree*
Back
Well I'm going to presume that Loki doesn't care so...
*starts walking towards that village*
*its a wonder people still live there*
Is anyone still here?
*Slowly climbs down from the tree, and walks to the river, and lies down against the rocks, her feet in the water* *Shuts her eyes, balling up*
(Sorry got distracted wondering why people wouldn't have moved away from that village yet)
*walks down and grins*
*strolls down into one of the parks and sits on a bench looking miserable*
*Crawls further into the warm water, and sinks so her nose is touching the water*
(What will you do in the village?)
*Remains in the water for a little longer, then crawls out with a towel, wrapping it around herself* *Looks around for others*
(What do I normally do in the village)
Girl: what's wrong?
No on will play hide and go seek in the forest with me!
Girl: aww. It's okay, I will. Let's go!
*grabs my hand and drags me along away from the park*
*looks at Adra*
We believe it would be part of the human morality system to intervene.
Tempest-Silente may have malfunctioned.
*grins at her back*
*waits until they're far enough away then taps her nose and pushes the girl through the portal, laughing*
*grabs the girl and ties her to the wall stretched out*
We have reached consensus. It is time to intervene.
*scans*
*detects Silente*
*heads in her direction*
Girl: what are you doing?!
*grins*
Calm down now. There's plenty of time to panic when your dead.
*walks over to an opposite wall which is covered in thousands of weapons*
*grabs a dagger and it starts glowing red*
*walks over to the girl*
*Watches Geth/Dragona leave*
*Sets her cane on the ground beside her, and shuts her eyes again*
(Silente - what is it like where you are currently?)
Girl: who are you? What are you doing? What's the k-knife?
Allow me to show you.
*slices across the girls palm*
*pain rips around the girls body and she let's out a scream if agony*
*laughs*
(Okay current location. On one wall are A LOT of weapons. On the opposite one is the girl. The walls are made of steel. There are a few sigils at the entry way but they just set off alarms )
Hey i for a new toy today. Let's test it out.
*pulls out the throwing knife Viv gave her*
*throws it with deadly accuracy to bury itself in the girls cheek*
*laughs as the girl cries out*
*walks over and yanks the blade out*
*licks the blood off it*
**got
..right..
*reaches Silente's location*
*instead of going through the entrance, detects that the roof would have a statistical advantage*
*uses miniature hooks on hands to climb up the steel wall and climb up on to the roof*
*draws rifle from back, blows a hole in the roof using a grenade then drops in and lands in a crouch*
Tempest-Silente, drop the bladed weapon.
*turns to face Gethzilla*
Girl: Help me! Please! Save me from the bad lady!
*grins and send the knife flying into the girls leg listening to the scream it causes*
Dropped it.
*fires rifle at Silente*
*dodges the blast and it hits the girl instead*
*the girl screams loudly*
Hey! Unless you want to pay me then she's mine.
*steps forward and grabs Silente's throat*
You are malfunctioning.
*rips free coughing slightly*
No I'm not! Dont touch me Gethzilla!
Right, well I'm going then.
*swings a punch at Silente*
(Bye Adra :( )
*grabs Gethzilla's hand*
Calm down Gethie! Jeez robo-duffus cool it a bit.
You need repairs.
*puts rifle away and swings with other hand*
(sorry internet issues)
I don't need repairs!
*catches that hand too*
Go to hell nut-bot!
*grabs Silente's wrists and fires a close-range flamethrower*
I see that my knife has been put to the test. Was it satisfactory?
*screams and writhes as the flames burn at hee skin*
*pulls free and backs away*
You dick!
*smothers the flames*
You absolute idiot!
((Hello!))
(Hey Chi!)
(Very Viv. Of good craft!)
This unit was forced to take action. We reached consensus. Your behaviour was morally unacceptable.
It is not advised to use violence against this unit. You have a low probability of survival.
*goes and frees the girl*
*hisses*
*runs over and sends Geth flying into a side wall with a roundhouse kick*
*chains the girl back up*
*she's unconscious anyway*
*takes out binoculars and watches the conflict*
*climbs out of the dent made in the wall*
Your attack was ineffective. We have not taken damage.
*walks swings a punch at Silente*
*ducks under the punch*
*swipes Geths feet from under it, dancing back*
*mutters about people always interrupting her fun*
*takes out metal glob and begins fashioning necklace for winner*
*fires flamethrower in Silente's direction whilst the unit is knocked over*
*gets back up almost instantly*
*swings another punch at Silente whilst firing the flamethrower at her*
Hi Elleni
*shrieks at the flamethrower getting burnt again but dodges the most of it*
*kicks Geth in its chest sending it flying away*
*grabs Silente's foot before it makes contact and swings her into a wall*
(Better?)
I'm making a necklace for the winner of this fight. Who are you betting on?
*hits the wall and cries out*
*hisses at the Geth*
*pulls free*
*starts getting a nose bleed*
*swings a punch at its head*
A numerical advantage would increase the probability of success but this unit is in no danger.
there's a floppy disk on the floor,
there's a floppy disk on the floor,
huh!
*takes the punch to the head without even jerking back*
This unit feels no pain, Tempest-Silente. Hitting us with your fist will just damage yourself.
*shakes her head, blinking a lot*
*punches the Geths chest, denting it inwards about 3 inch or so*
*still has a nose bleed*
*looks at chest*
This unit has armour. Circuits are protected. Not an effective attack.
*activates flamethrower whilst swinging a punch at Silente*
*dodges back to avoid being burnt again*
here I cooooooome
*screams and a bright flash erupts from within her*
*when the lights gone she's crouched on the ground*
*laughs darkly*
*advances on Silente, continuously firing the flamethrower*
[pokes Maralily]
*looks up and opens her eyes*
*they're Silver, just like her hair. Just like the blades of her knives*
*laughs and lifts her head*
Boo.
*rockets forwards at the Geth slamming it into the wall*
*rips open its chest piece and grins at the circuitry there*
This necklace is done, and it is puurrrfect
*magnetises the exposed area - causing the armour to be put back into place and along with part of the metal wall*
*grabs Silente's wrists and fires flamethrower*
*grins at the flames*
So pretty.
*grabs the Geth's arm and rips it off*
*throws it behind her*
Necklace is magnetically sucked in also.
Assistance may be necessary.
*grabs Silente's wrist with the remaining arm, fortifying its shields again*
*rips her arm free of It's*
*smashes a fist into its helmet, denting it*
*laughs*
*grunts as she's blow across the room*
*laughs*
To late Darlings. Your not just facing a vampire now.
*counters the airwaves with her own*
Your facing me.
I didn't end up able to go to the library... I got a headache... :-/
*magnetises its body so its arms reattach* *quickly activates repair systems so the circuitry reconnects with a spark*
*uses the metal from the walls to reinforce its armour and fabricates blades across its body*
*a wall of air stops the bullets*
You see, Silente has been in a LOT of fights.
*sends air to pin Elleni against a wall*
And thats a lot of disciplines.
*clicks her fingers summoning a flame*
And now I can use them all.
*sends twin streams of fire at Elleni*
*fortifies its shields and steps in front of the flames*
*responds by firing its flamethrower*
I'm mean, you'd be amazed what I can do.
*shadows pin Geth next to Elleni*
So many disciplines used against her, I can hardly remember them all.
*energy slams into Elleni's wrirt, breaking it*
**wrist
(**shadows pin Geth and Elleni*)
*shadows fail to penetrate its pontificated shields so walks through them*
(Not normal ones. But True Names combined with A LOT of experimentation when she was captured one of those many times by James et voila)
(*fortificated
Wtf google spell check...)
(Half Blogland does...)
*smiles at the scream*
*drops Elleni to the ground*
Well, unfortunately the headache wants out. I'm sure you can beat hee up if you catch her.
*VERY BRIGHT FLASH AND LOUD SCREAM*
*pants on the ground, looks up, runs*
*draws rifle from back and starts shooting at Silente with synthetic precision*
(She hates hers though, thinks she's strong enough with out it. Had it bound so others couldn't use it but also had more experiments done to her to keep it dormant. It works most of the time. When Onwa's breaking free she gets a nose bleed and occasionally her ears bleed too. Her name hurts her in reality after all those experiments. It's a weakness.)
*screams at the bullets managing to avoid them enough that they only hit her arms*
*rubs faster stumbling, with blurry vision and a pounding migrane*
*whimpers*
**runs
*keeps shooting*
*as Silente gets further away, syncs the weapon up with its optics so can shoot her at a greater distance, switching to short bursts to make it more accurate fire*
Hey guys, almost finished typing up the new chapter! keep an eye on my blog :)
(Tanith.... *cries* poor Tanith. And Ghastly......)
*bites her lip to keep from crying out as more shots hit*
*hides behind a tree and slumps down panting, trying to clear her vision*
V-Viv?
(It was that mountain range....I can go check if you want?)
(I dedicate this page to:
1) Chocolate. It's a miracle cure sometimes
2) Tumble weeds. They do their jobs
3) Tennis players. They make such weird noises when they play that sound slightly sexual in some cases and i find that amusing)
(Sorry, internet.)
*starts running after Silente*
*hears Elleni*
*groans and stumbles back to her feet*
*leans against the tree a moment eyes still blurry*
*starts running again head reeling*
(Research, mostly. I don't remember everyone's specific reasons, but research on true names is what Niccolò does, for his discipline and he figured out his own in the process.
Zaf, as Grand Mage did a lot of research to find hers. I'm not sure how she knows all her other characters names. I don't remember.
Technically Chione and Blake have/are gods rather than names... (Though in roleplay it amounts to somewhat the same thing)
Sanguine and Loki found out Rose's and are using it against her. (She also has a dark side called Judi. A number of people have dark sides).
But yeah, everyone has some reason they're basically all-powerful.
That's a lot of the reason why Fabi left... She feels like the weak one.
To be honest, I do to. In a lot of ways. Some of them irl, some here.
But I won't talk about that now.)
(Wasn't it like the Mac'gillies mountain range or something?)
That's Chapter 17 up guys! enjoy :)
BRB / WBD!
My beautiful necklace!!!!
(Fabi - yeah. I keep having to increase the power of my characters to even have a hope of defending against some people. I mean, most of the characters I play on here have NO magic (they have like things to make up for it like dark energy manipulation and stuff), but yeah. I think, personally, people should stop doing the whole god/goddess/really all powerful mode thing. Because otherwise characters will just not be able to even have a go at RPing. Because they wouldn't survive two minutes.)
WBD - Will be distant.
Silente's away to read the new chapter lol
((Well, we just made up true names to make RP better I guess.))
(I don't think we ever used to have. But then all of a sudden it's just kind of... happened.
I mean, I for about a day became "Lord of Deception". And that was all it took for me to get bored. And all I did in that time was kidnap Silente. Then I just got bored. Being powerful is no fun. Because then there's no competition.)
Nm, geth you can keep the necklace
(My OC (Dragona) used to know his true name... and then he got so boring to write about I deleted all the stories with him in it and deleted his character bio.)
...
There's been a new post for about an hour.
[Facepalm]
*looks at Vivanus*
This unit has no concept of being aesthetically pleasing, and no desire for it. We are a combat platform.
*takes the necklace*
We believe that it would be human social guideline to be thankful. So we are thankful.
...
Everyone does that, though.
Increases their power so they have a chance.
Or rather, so they're on top.
No one here likes losing...
And I guess I'm not sure what your definition of "better" is, Chi...
And I'm sorry. I didn't mean this to turn into a find fault with everyone type thing...
((I know Alexis's because I was cursed when I was pregnant with her, Aro knew his because in his world Mevolent had the Book of Names, and I know my name as Zaf because I researched for years and years and found it. With each character I play a form of weakness to balance power. Zaf is a Necromancer by Surge, but she can replicate magic she sees or experiences because her name, her weakness is her family and she lacks the ability to fight decently in hand to hand combat. Alexis really hasn't tapped into her power so she's ordinary, Aro is blind and pretty cocky.-Zaffy))
(Is anyone on?))
Hellooo :)
I'm here, kinda
Hey Flora!
Yeah... I'm distant too...
Facebook is horrible...
Sorry! I disappeared!
Oh dear, what's up with facebook?
