Any ideas, tweet them to me. I command you.

(Email me...I need to check)
*clenches her fist tighter as he comes closer*
Fine. I'm great.
*pain. Focus on the pain. Only the pain. Not the pulsing flow in his neck containing that oh so tasty nectar of life...*
*blinks and stops staring at his neck*
Silente... what's wrong with you?
You want blood, don't you?
I-I-I can help....
*turns around*
*sees Elleni*
Hellohowdoyouknowmyname?IprefertogobyParsebutYOUcancallmeanythingyouwantto!
*stares with much the same look that Sil had given him*
Help?
*focuses on him*
How?
(Every time I go to make one it starts behaving again)
*stands in front of Silente* ... What's the matter with you...?
I dedicate this page to everyone on blogland because even if I haven't been on here for quite a time, I still love you all! Some of you were already here when I first commented and gave me such a warm welcome that I decided to stay. Some of you came later than I did and I hope I returned some of the kindness I was given to you.
Whenever I come to blogland, I know there will be people here to chat to, who care and who support me in anything.
There are people to rp with, there are people who I can discuss everything with, the range goes from Disney films up to the Second World War (Yes, that's you Flower!^^).
Chione has even decided to make me her sister and I still feel honoured.
You have become some sort of a second family to me and you all are important to me.
(Thank you Derek, by the way. I wouldn't have met all those wonderful people if the Skulduggery series didn't exist!)
I wanted to write so much more but my brain sorta got stuck in the middle of translation, so I'll shorten it a little^^
Thank you so much for being here! Every single one of you! <3
*looks up at Leri*
Thirsty Leri.
(*cuddles everyone who said Hi*)
*shakes his head and turns back to Sil*
Um....well you see, it, well I guess you won't mind a few more sigils...right?
Or I could give you some blood.
(Nice ded Mithria. :) )
... I can get you a glass of water if you want... Or is it blood-thirsty?
(Mithria, you type it in German I can help translate...)
(Thanks Elleni and Dragona! :)
Viv (I think you're Viv...), you speak German?)
(hear hear Mir. *offers a high five*)
..I'd probably rather the blood...
... We just need to find some... But please don't hurt anyone...
(*grins and high-fives Sil*)
I'm doing my best Ler..
(Ey see! We needn't hug, we can high five!)
(@Mithria: I try to...sometimes I sing it or write it.)
*takes out a scalpel and cuts his finger*
*put it in a vial and hands it to Sil*
(*laughs* Yep, that's good too!
*suddenly is serious again*
If I still can't hug you... that means, you... fixed this... thing that Blake did?)
... You scare me when you're like this...
(@Viv: Hey, that's cool!^^)
(@Mithria: I'm good at grammar but I fon't have a very big vocab)
(Yup. We fixed it. Kes fixed it.)
*takes the vial*
*downs the contents like one might down a shot and closes her eyes*
*licks her lips, smiling, and focuses on not attacking for more*
*slowly opens her eyes and smiles at Sort*
Thanks..
*it wasn't much, and it hardly dints her thirst, but she could pretend it was*
(*remembers that Kessie is a vampire too*
Ah... I see. Bad news for hugging...
*smiles lightly*)
(bye Sort)
Sorry Leri. I don't mean to scare you...
... I'm scared easily... It's kind of normal... Fighting scares me...
(Yeah. Poor hugs.
We can high five if its a 'youre awesome hug' and...uh....pat? If its a 'im sorry hug')
I'm still sorry. I just..I can't help it. And if I wasn't holding back I'd be much scarier.
(*nods slowly* I think I could agree with that... anyway, would anyone mind telling me what's going on right now?)
(nothing much is happening really...)
(Oh... ok, then I'll just keep watching^^)
*hugs Silente* ... Just keep holding back, please... I know you won't hurt me because of my proteins but... I don't want anyone to get hurt...
*stiffens at the hug*
*smiles and hugs her back*
I'm trying. Kes had a point about torturing myself.
(*watches the hug*
*tilts head*)
... Torturing yourself?
(Different protein structure. Less appealing. More poisonous)
..being around..people, when you're thirsty..its a bit like being near water after living in a desert with no water for 2 days and being told you aren't allowed to drink. The first time I changed....
*pauses*
Well let's say I had more than six blood bags.
*looks at Elleni*
El!
*shoves Leri to the ground, out of way of the arrows and snarls*
*runs at the bushes, eye wild, face VERY angry*
*is thrown to the ground, and lands heavily, yelping in pain*
*activates her computer and climbs to her feet, wondering what's going on*
*sees the Sanctuary Operative and aims her computer at him*
... Don't touch her!
*stands up in shock*
Don't shoot!
*raises his hands in the air*
(I'll try, Elleni, but I'm not good at rp-ing. And I might have to leave soon...)
*falls over as an arrow hits her leg*
*tries not to scream*
*another arrow hits her arm and pins her to the floor*
(Purple!!!! I'm back! Will have to leave for lunch soon though....)
*floats into the clearing*
*solidifies*
*sees the arrows flying through the air*
Oh. Oh my.
*turns back into mist*
*dodges the energy and comes closer to the person*
And you're the dead man.
*grabs him by the throat and pins him to a tree*
Give me one reason why I should rip your scrawny throat out.
*looks wild and feral*
(Argh. Lunch. Brb!)
*runs to Mithria, pulling out the arrows and applying some medical gel on the wounds to stop the pain and aid the healing (it's used to treat gunshot wounds - if someone is shot, they can stand up immediately after using it.)*
*runs over to Mithria*
*eyes wide*
Are you ok?
(Kk Duggy)
*looks at Leri*
What did you just use?
You don't have magic...
*looks at Leri*
*stares at her wounds*
*looks at Leri again*
*blinks*
That's... amazing. Thank you!
(Btw, Mith as a character doesn't have any magic because I never thought about this for long enough^^)
... It's called Medi-Gel... it's something we use where I come from...
Mithria... are you alright?
*walks in, rolling her blood safe behind her*
*sees what's going on*
Guyssssss. Stop attacking random Sanctuary Operatives!
*stands up and fires an electrified net from her computer at the Sanctuary Operative*
*then runs to Elleni and pulls out the arrow and applies some medical gel on her, too*
*nods at Sortilege and Leri*
I'm ok now... yes.
*still amazed*
*turns to Mithria*
And you don't have magic either...
That's all three of us then.
Will the attackers leave us alone?
*is sent flying back into the clearing*
*snarls and charges back at the man as a blur*
*once again smashes him against that tree, squeezing hard on his neck, her fingernails making small cresent cuts*
Try that again and I won't hesitate to kill you. Why are you here, bosh t'et.
*frowns*
I wouldn't expect so...
Three of us?
*looks up at Silente*
... It's pronounced bosh'tet...
*hangs his head*
I'm one of the leading thaumatologist in the world and I can't use magic...
*taps stomach, creating a magnetic field around self*
*if the SO's arrows are metal he'll have to either drop them or be pulled towards her*
*grabs the man's wrist before the knife can go near her and smashes it against the tree, causing him to drop the knife*
Answer. The. Question.
*brings her face in closer to his*
Or I'll make you wish you had.
((Distant, internet's really slow))
Another vampire! With actual magic!!!!
*runs over to Kes*
(Thaumatologist?)
*is not sure what to answer*
And... who's number three?
*looks at Sortilege* *raises eyebrow* And you are...?
((Whoever's controlling the SO, what's their reaction to my magnet thingy?))
Hey everyone... did any of you guys win the tickets for the requiem ball...?
((El, so they would both be pulled towards me...))
*activates her computer and aims it at the Sanctuary Operative, just in case*
*almost looks upset at this*
Then I'll leave him to you.
*let's go of his neck and stalks back to the clearing*
((Hey Chione! I don't think anyone did, as far as I know :3))
(*cuddles Chi* HI SIS!)
MITHRIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(No Chi :( You?)
((Storm, my blood safe thing is in the clearing for you))
Hi, I'm Sortilege Parse, a leading thaumatologist.
(What's a thaumatologist? My dictionary can't tell me...
*hugs Chi tighter*)
(A person who studies magic)
(Mithria - as far as I'm aware it's the study of wounds and how to treat them?)
(I know it is Kes. But Sil is too stubborn to take blood from you.)
(Hello…every...one...*pants*)
Yeah...the winners got an e-mail...
*sighs and deactivates magnetic field*
*it was a long shot anyway*
*taps symbols on her wrists and begins throwing energy daggers at SO*
(I think that's traumatology)
(It is? I always thought it was someone who studies wounds... Oh no, that's Traumatology. Nevermind. :) )
(Hello…every...one...*pants*)
... Please don't kill him...
((Storm, YouTC is very annoying. :P))
((Hi Chloe! What's up?))
*to Parsh* That's lovely for you. You're not studying my magic.
(Hey Flick.
Did you get tickets Chi?)
Leri, I'll try not to. I'm aiming for legs.
(Hi Chloe! You ok?)
(Ah... didn't know that, sorry!)
So... you study magic but you can't DO magic? Did I get that right?
( I have just come back from circuit training
The instructor is hawt but he goes out with the biggest bitch who used to be in my year in school)
(She is very annoying. KesTC will probably have to force feed her if she wants SilTC to drink anymore blood.)
*leans against a tree, eyes dark and animalistic*
*watching what's happening*
*continues throwing energy daggers at SO*
*she really doesn't want to have to resort to real daggers*
(What's happening here?)
((Storm, KesTC doesn't care enough to do that, so...))
*starts sobbing*
((Chloe, some random Sanctuary Operative is attacking us))
(Gah... I gotta go now, sorry!! See you guys! *hugs everyone but waves at Sil*)
One of you magic-less people, get Leri to stop crying
No.... I didn't get an e-mail...
(In which case let's just hope that SilTC has enough self control to ignore the blood that's flowing occasionally in this fight...)
(Ahh okay)
Christen: *walks in and sees chaos*
*runs to SO while he's down, straddling him and drawing sword*
*places sword against his throat*
What do you want?
*looks at Leri*
*walks over and blocks her view of what's happening*
Shhh...its okay Ler...its okay.
... Please don't let them kill him... Why... why couldn't we have just trapped him or something?
Yes, that's exactly right.
Now if you'll excuse me...
*goes over to Leri*
Are you ok? What's wrong?
It's okay...we won't kill him..
*looks over her shoulder at what's happening*
*looks back at Leri*
They're just subduing him.
*puts her helmet in her hands* ... I'm just scared... and... I don't want anyone to get hurt... I... I don't like fighting... And... without Silente I would have died and...
*yelling over her shoulder*
Leri, I'm trying not to kill him! I don't want to deal with Storm going into some sort of blood rage!
*hugs Silente*
... Thank you for pushing me out of the way... The arrow would have punctured my suit and...
(Back!)
*walks into the clearing eyes widening at the sight of the fight*
Um what happened?
*tenses*
Your welcome Ler. I wasn't gonna let him hurt you now was I.
Yes, but at this point, he won't be enough. And if we let her drain him, she won't be able to stop herself from going after someone else.
((Also, El, a response from SO would be nice)
... I won't be happy... We can get blood for Silente without killing anyone... please...
*turns back to Silente* ... I guess not... thanks...
Your welcome Ler. You okay? Your armour suit thing didn't break when I pushed you down did it?
Is everyone ok?
*walks over to the Sanctuary Operative and sits down next to him*
... You don't have to die... Just stop fighting and... and you won't die... That's all I ask...
Yeah Dug. Leri saved anyone who was hurt.
... No, Silente... it can survive blunt impacts... sharp objects on the other hand...
Dugglyn, everyone except for this idiot. *gestures to SO*
*sighs*
Oh good.
(Hi Dugg ^^ Im knackered
I have walked 9 times up and down a hill today, which must have been around 5 miles. Then I did circuit training, you?)
*stands up, removing sword from SO's neck*
*offers hand to help Leri up*
*walks over to SO and the others*
You should've come. And you shouldn't come back. El is under our protection.
*actually looks scary, despite the twelve year olds size and shape, deadly serious and prepeared to rip his throat out without a second thought*
(Oh my INKY! That's a lot!! 0.0 I'm great. Really red though. Partly on east coast time and partly on west coast time. It's a bit annoying!)
(**shouldn't've
((Gtg, bye!))
(Bye Messy!)
*puts her three-fingered hand in Kestrel's so she's helped up, then hugs Elleni back*
(**Kessy. But can I call you Messy?)
(Byii Kes)
(Bye Kestrel!)
*turns the same look on El*
Fine. But you're still under bloglands protection.
*looks at SO*
And we don't take kindly to attackers.
(Bye Kes!)
*looks at the SO*
... I'm probably the only reason why you're alive right now... So please don't attack us again... Please...
Ooooooooo! Could I be your personal body guard?!
*looks hopefully up at Elleni*
*glares back with three times more menace and ten times more violence and blood thirst*
Now, scram!
(Im looking at the many tears website, at the dogs they are putting up for adoption. Im like 'OMG I KNOW THEM!!!!)
(Your a great artist El :))
*sits down again* *puts her helmet in her hands and sobs quietly*
... I... I don't like this... any of this... I nearly died and I didn't do anything wrong...
(handcuffs don't stop you from running, they just make it harder.)
... Please don't hurt him... I think he's learned his lesson...
*quietly, under her breath so no one else can hear*
Drain him dry then let him play in the sea.
*louder*
Let Leri decide.
*her smile drops*
Fine. I won't be your body guard.
*sulks*
(Gtg. Hopefully will be back soon.)
... I... I don't know... If we let him go and he comes back and kills someone... people will blame me... But... I don't want him to die or get hurt... I don't know... I don't think I have the right to decide... I don't know... I can't decide on anything... But... I don't want him to be hurt...
(Byii Dugg
Ill probably ghost until I see something Christen can fit into in the rp)
... I think we should let him go... He didn't really cause any harm... I fixed the people who he shot... And... I don't think he's the person in charge... And everyone seems to be really scary so he's probably learned his lesson... don't shoot the messenger, as you humans say... he's probably only following orders, right?
*walks away*
*leans against a tree a bit away*
(God Dammit >_<
Okay...I dedicate this page to Many Tears Animal Rescue- they do such an amazing job looking after all those dogs.
I also dedicate it to Chance- he is a lab cross dog that is responsible for giving me and my friend scram marks all over our bodies XD)
*puts a hand on the Sanctuary Operative's shoulder*
... Please don't make me regret this... I'm sorry for firing the net at you...
*taps the sigil on her nose and makes a portal to area 51*
Put him there. He'll be right at home.
*alarms sound through the sigil*
..quickly.
*poked his head out of the bushes*
Is it over?
(**through the portal)
((Not actually here, but Dugglyn, yeah, Messy's fine :) Storm was calling me that, for a while :)))
(El!!!??? You don't know Area 51?!?)
(Elleni - a US military base in Nevada. Rumoured to be part of alien cover-ups and the like but to be fair it's probably nothing more than a military airfield.)
(..you haven't heard of area 51?)
(Come on... you haven't watched Independence Day?)
Hey guys, so me and my friend Cassidy Clairemonde (you might know her cause she's a bloglandian) Have decided to have our own requiem ball in Scotland. We're planning to invite Derek, and people from harper Collins, and of course other skuttlebugs that couldn't go to the one in London!
(Roswell? Area 51? Black post box? None of this ringing a bell?)
(That sounds ace Chi! How is Cass?)
... Should I have done that? Saved him, I mean... If he kills someone, will you blame me?
*closes the portal behind him*
*he'll probably be fine*
*maybe*
(that sounds cool Chi)
(Maybe Area 51 isn't as well known in America?)
Christen :*Starts playing the fiddle - a tune that can be considered mesmerizing*
(Area 51 is referenced in like nearly everything to do with aliens.
It's even in Grand Theft Auto for god's sake. Well actually that's Area 69, but it's a REFERENCE to Area 51.
I stole a jetpack from Area 69 once and then got hit by a plane because I went too high.
Anyway...)
(It is... That's pretty much a death sentence you just gave him...)
I won't blame you Leri. If he comes back its his own stupidity that brought him.
*looks at the sun, nearly setting*
Hmmm.
*runs over to Christen*
Are you a water demon?
(Indeed it is. Whoops.)
... Ok... Where did you send him?
To..Niagara Falls. Not the actual water fall part. The rocky part.
... Are you sure? You hesitated... You didn't send him somewhere bad, did you?
(Silente, would you want to come? you said that you might have been allowed to London? you don't need tickets for this. But we would ask for a contribution for food, or a venue...)
No. I wouldn't do that Ler.
*smiles at her*
*shoots another look at the sun*
Christen : Indeed I am. I am a nokken
... Are you sure? Promise me...
... Why do you keep looking at the sun?
(Of course i would Chi! If my step dad let me. And if not I'd come anyway and probably be grounded forever ;P Food would be easy to bring.)
(@El basically he's going to be surrounded by angry government type people and military men. And possibly shot.)
Promise
*looks at the sun again*
Cause if I'm going to be stuck on min serum, which I'm basically out of now, then I have to time it jussssst right.
(And if not shot then interrogated on how he got there. Then presumably shot or released into a mental asylum. Or mind wiped.)
... Good. *hugs Silente*
Oh... if you want I could make some for you... I can scan the chemical composition of your serum and replicate it using my computer...
That'd be great Ler...its basically all gone now and the shipment of ingredients could take another week or two..
Anyone else on the blog can come if they can! all skuttlebugs are welcome!
If you give me a container and let me scan the serum I can start making it...
(that's mint Chi! Where by is it? Like what part of the country?
I mean if its by Edinburgh, I can visit my cousins there aswell)
(Actually it wouldn't be that hard to go without permission. Bribe dad to say I was sleeping at his for three nights, sleep at his for one night, tell him I was going out at stupid o'clock in the morning and wouldn't be back till late, get a coach to Scotland, get LOST in Scotland, eventually find the thing, then go home on the coach, go to sleep and go back to mums the next day)
It would be in Glasgow I think. We still need to talk about a venue. We're meeting this weekend to talk about it. I'll hopefully be making the decorations ^.^ I love being arty.
*hands Leri a 1/3 full needle*
Here.
*hands start trembling*
*pulls out her other needle, full and injects 7/12 into her blood stream and puts the needle away as the shaking slows*
Ill see what my parents say... but if it is on a weekday Ill wont be allowed, cos college is HARD and kinda important because of my dream job...hehe
*activates her computer and moves her hand down the needle of serum, being careful not to get the needle anywhere near her suit*
*hands the needle back to Silente as her holographic computer lights up with the chemical composition of the serum and diagrams of the molecules*
