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

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4483 Newer› Newest»Sounds like you have pretty good taste, Dragona!
School is making me see a counselor because of all the school I've missed recently... Ugh...
(That sounds bad, Rose. :/
This is my favourite soundtrack of all time:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VTsD2FjmLsw
)
Listening to it now. Doesn't sound too bad!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=955p21oIgYw
My jam right there.
(Just to clarify from last night, if you trespass in Area 51 then you get shot or mauled by Rottweilers, no questions asked)
Hey Parse!
*Has a nickname in mind already*
Snip. I shall call you Snip. Because Parsnip!
Hey Penguin!
Hey Death
this is my jam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhJ6bE4z5vs
(Hey Chloe and Vivanus!
Rose - it was on the CD for best video game soundtracks. I agree.
And that song sounds cool. :) )
Hey Dragon
That. Is. The. Last. Thing. I. Ever. Expected. From. You. Penguin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUqB3-khkCw
THAT. That is my jam right there.
@Dragona, definitely deserves its place.
Thanks!
(My second favourite soundtrack:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_CHyFqB3eqg
)
(And this is the piece of video game it belongs to - at 1:59.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=badsfl-QaNk
It's the largest fictional space battle ever shown. :P)
I love Papa Roach
I better go now. I have to pick up my friend and go to the rescue centre now
byii
Snip?
Um ok ma'am...wait, do you know your true name?!
That's really cool, Dragona!!
Uh... I don't know what your True Name is, Snip. Sorry.
BYE PENGUIN!
(I have to go for a bit. Bye!)
Oh that's ok, but you know yours!! How did you find out?!
Bye Dragona!
Snip, why would you say that...?
Oh, God, not this again... Please don't use it against me... PLEASE!
*Considers*
It wasn't me that found out. It was a certain, now very much deceased, Texan hitman with no eyes. He found out. He got me. I killed him so he couldn't spill, but he put it on the Vault.
Ugh...
I can tell from looking at you.
*draws himself about half a centimeter taller*
I'm a world leading thaumatologist.
I wouldn't, and couldn't, use it against you in a thousand years!
*She raised an eyebrow at him*
You probably would, and you probably could. I wouldn't blame you if you tried.
*She glared lightly at him, making him feel the same amount of pain as he would being hit in the stomach*
I'm a psychotic post-mass murderer with names buzzing around in her head. Who can kill with a glare and manipulate gravity. That's something hard to pass up.
I'm a thaumatologist with no magic....I probably couldn't control you if I wanted to.
*flinches under her glare*
*She let the glare drop and grinned at him*
So...?
Try, Snip. Go ahead and try.
*She spread her arms and winked*
Exactly!
*turns to see who said it*
Ah oh uh....
It wasn't that bad of a glare, El! It really wasn't that harsh! It was only soft!
*tutns back to Rose*
I...I don't even know your name....and magic, well for all my love of it, doesn't like me anyways.
*She shrugged*
You're going to learn my True Name soon enough. It's Slīvœrrsę.
Um...ok,
*jots the name down in a notebook that appeared in his hand*
Slīvœrrsę, I command you to...to...to make me fly.
*nothing happens*
*She looked at Snip, waiting for her body to override her command. Nothing*
Damn... Sorry about that...
*She eyed the notepad carefully*
It's ok...it's basically my life so I've gotten used to it.
*puts his pen back on paper*
Now, you said you had lots of names in your head?
(Back.
I have the not so sudden urge to play Mass Effect so msd.)
Yeah... Heaps. All like little bees in my head. All buzzing. All wanting to control. There's a few that I know.
*She listed on her fingers*
There's Judhipor, Seven, Slīvœrrsę and then there's me. I'm the overlord. They're all little parts of me. And they're are plenty more inside my head that I don't know about. They're not strong enough to take control.
*writes all this down*
And was it always like this?
Yep. Since as long as I can remember... Why...?
Hmm...does it ever tone down at all?
*scribbles something else*
Nope. Sometimes I'll wake up as someone else. It takes a few moments to get rid of them.
*She looked down at her feet*
It hurts. Everytime it happens, there's a horrible pain in my head...
Can you draw?
Or sculpt?
I can draw. Sigils and symbols and abstract whatevers. Haven't tried sculpting. I ought to try it...
*wakes up*
*stretches and yawns*
*begins to sob quietly*
They are little parts of me obsessed with their designated whatevers. They are me, but I don't want to call them me. They're different...
*turns to Elleni nervously*
Oh...well...not...it's...they...
*blushes and buries his face in his notebook*
(Leri is sat under her tree as she always is. :P)
*talks to Rose through his notebook*
If you can create a realistic enough representation of them then there is a way to draw them out of you and put them in there for a while.
*has an idea and quickly jots something*
Actually there might be a more permanent way!
*She shook her head quickly*
No! We... It's happened before. Seven, my fight, she got banished. And I turned into a massive girly girl. El, you remember. I was being weird. I'm sorry, Snip, but I can't do that again...
(BECAUSE SHE GOT A CALL OF SOMEONE WANTING ME DEAD!)
*FROM
*hugs Elleni back* ... It's Silente... She... She... She works for a secret organisation... She was fighting with someone... She pushed me through a portal to get rid of me...
(Hey Death do you think it'll be okay if I just say Ariana lowered the forcefeild enough for Sil to get away?)
Are you sure? Maybe just one of them?
(Hey El)
... Maybe... But also so I wouldn't stop her... I don't know whether she succeeded or not... I think I heard Rose's voice...
(I think it should be fine, Sil. You can keep trying to kill me if you'd like.)
(Wut. That was the weirdest thing I've ever said.)
Snip... I... I don't know... It was fine when Judi materialised, but now...? Oh, I don't know...
How about a test run?
*shows her his notes*
*two words are circled*
*echo stone*
Test run...? Uh... I... I guess...
*Her voice was reluctant*
*hobbles into blogland clutching her ribs, one leg twisted at a funny angle and her other arm hanging limp and useless*
*every breath burns*
*every step shoots agony through her*
*collapses to the ground, not for the first time, and cries out as her whole body screams in protest and in pain*
*sees Rose and rushes towards her*
... Are you okay? ... What happened yesterday? I heard fighting... What did Silente do?
(many people want Rose dead.)
*laughs bitterly then hisses in pain*
Don't come close. You smell...SO GOOD right now....
*sees Silente but ignores her*
There's one problem....I don't have an echo stone.
hello everyone.
*She flashed a smile at Leri*
Other than a shattered nose and a severely broken wrist-
*She held up her arm so Leri could see the bone poking through the skin*
I'm fine.
Thank...you
*lays her head on the ground, not sure she can get back up*
(a client with a very good offer)
I definitely don't have a echo stone...
(Hey Em!)
(hey Em)
... I can't fix broken bones but I can stop the pain and help it to heal...
*activates her computer and applies her medical gel to Rose's wounds*
... She isn't my friend... Not anymore...
*for once doesn't argue about medical help*
*just lays there and hurts*
*She looked at the gel, her eyes wide*
It doesn't hurt that bad. I'm fine. I'm really fine...
*groans and gets up, her breath hitching*
*stumbles slightly before streadying*
*starts taking shaky steps to her treehouse*
(bye El!)
*Roland stood, staring at the two holes in the wall in Ariana's room. He had never gotten that angry before, about anything.
But once Rose was threatened...
Ariana gurgled in her cot. Her cheeks were still stained with silver tears from the night before.
Roland half smiled as he turned back to staring at the wall. He then just broke down crying and shaking as he fell to the floor.*
Um...uh...
*sits down confused*
*She frowned and got up from the sofa, where she had been trying to sleep, and sprinted into Ariana's room. She saw Roland and didn't think twice as she pulled him into a tight hug, wincing as her broken wrist pushed against him*
Hey! Hey, you okay...? You're fine! Everything's fine, Roland. We're all safe. You saved us.
(Em, want to continue?)
*takes the easy way into the treehouse and collapses onto the bed*
*sigils glow all around her and a scream breaks through her restraint as her body starts healing*
*trembles*
(Yep, yep we will. Just let this scene play out and then you can arrive.)
*He held onto her tightly, listening to Ariana cooing.*
Roland: I... I have never... I am...
*Ariana let out a little squeal at Roland and Rose.*
(Dinner is on. I'll scoff everything really quickly!!)
(Ok, because I'm considering bringing Viv back into things)
(Viv...ahh...Sil misses Viv)
*grits her teeth*
*some people calm this process down, it can slow it down but tends to be less painful*
*Sil however made it as violent as it can be, to punish herself for her failures*
(Sorry...he'll be back soon)
(good. *nods*)
*lays on the bed as pain rips through her and thinks only of where she went wrong*
*she took her phone*
*she attacked near the baby*
*she left the window open*
*she wasn't quick enough*
*and countless other reasons*
*sighs*
(Got to go)
(If your healed by the time I come back then Viv will come.)
*sits underneath her tree again*
(okay. Bye Sort)
*okay*
*what does she need to do*
*fix the screw up with Leri*
*sort the serum needles out*
*heal*
*get a blood supply*
*drink*
(Call him Parse!)
*She shushed Roland and pulled him away slightly to smile at him*
Roland. Thank you. You saved my life. And possibly Ariana's. I cannot thank you enough.
*She kissed his cheek and pulled him back to her*
*in order*
*screw up*
*drink*
*heal*
*serum*
*blood supply*
*Roland held on tight to Rose. His breath was starting to slow down as he was able to get his emotions in control.
Ariana let out a little shout. She wanted attention and she knew people were hurt.*
Is it wrong to slowly be plotting the death of all the boys in my grade? No? Good.
*gets up, the sigils fading, and stumbled to the door*
*her ribs at least feel better*
*climbs down and walks over to Leri*
Ler?
See...? We're fine. Everyone is fine. Even my wri-
*She stopped. He didn't need to know about the break. Or the bone that was sticking through her skin*
We're fine.
*She looked at Ariana and laughed. Her good hand snaked through the bars on the side of her cot to pat her head*
You're fine too, Ariana. Everyone is fine.
*Ariana grabbed Rose's hand and held on tight to her. Ariana glowed slightly as she worked on the broken arm and wound.
She glowed brighter as the bone quickly snapped back into place as Ariana started giggling, the wound slowly knitting itself back together.*
... Get away from me...
(Draggie?)
*She cried out as the bone shifted and buried her head into Roland's shoulder. Her body started to tremble as she felt her wrist fix itself*
Ariana... You shouldn't... Be using this much magic on me!
*Her nose was fixed by the time she had managed to pull her hand away from Ariana's grasp. Her smile was soft, but pained as she looked at the baby*
Thank you...
*keeps a respectful distance*
Leri...you aren't hurt are you? Man said you were upset when you left...
... Not physically hurt...
Ler...
*sits down where she is so they're about that same height*
I never set out to hurt you...I wouldn't do that.
*Roland held her as he watched the baby fix up Rose.*
Roland: Do not be cross at her. She is helping. She does not like to see you hurt.
Neither do I.
*He kissed her hands and ran a finger over the newly fixed wrist.*
We better check on our new little house guest. He is probably hungry at this hour.
I'm fine... It didn't hurt.
*She smiled when he kissed her hands and stood up, pulling him to his feet. She let go and took Ariana in her arms*
Okay. Let's go. I hope... I hope the wolf doesn't mind Ariana too much... And what are we going to call him?
... You're a killer... A hitman... A mercenary... That hurts... I thought I could trust you...
You can Ler. My job doesn't effect my trust.
*He walked out in front of Rose towards the wolf cub. When he saw Roland, he started wagging his tail at him and yapping. Roland sat beside him and put his hand to him. The wolf cub sniffed him and licked him cautiously.*
Roland: Someone is feeling much better this morning. I shall get you some food.
*He got back up and went straight to the kitchen. He looked back at Rose.*
Roland: I was thinking of maybe, Marrok for a name.
(Hey Arnold, Em, Deathy and Dragg)
Marrok? Sounds lovely.
*She sat on the sofa, looking at Marrok. She patted her thigh, wondering if that worked on wolves as it did with dogs. Ariana was tight against her chest*
Ariana, mum and dad have only been gone for a little while and we already got a pet. That's a wolf. You know, the brother you want is a wolf.
(Hey Twee. How are you?)
(Hey Snoweh!)
... Rose is my friend... And you were going to kill her... As long as you kill for money, I can't trust you... If money can buy your loyalty that easily, how long will it be before you have to kill me?
*Marrok stood and slowly hobbled towards Rose. He sat at her feet and lay his head on her lap.
Ariana was furiously flapping her arms and squealing with excitement at the little cub.
Roland came back in with some chopped up pieces of meat and a little bowl of water. He placed the water behind him as he sat beside the cub, holding the little plate out in front of him.*
(I'm dedding that we can all survive what happens as the book comes out in 10 days.
We need to be grief counsellors as we watch our favourite series come to an end.
Landy, rot in hell ;) and I love you all x)
It wasn't for money. It was blood Leri. I need food. If I don't get some soon I'm going to go nutts! Yes I know that sounds pety and shallow and like I can't control myself but that's because i can't! Not if I don't feed! I'd rather one life than all lives.
*She reached down and stroked his head. She loosened her grip on Ariana, just slightly, but enough that she could touch the cub if she wanted*
Roland. Thank you so much. For everything.
*She smiled softly at him and laughed quietly*
(...I thought it was eight days now?)
... Then find some blood... But don't kill to get it... There are places where people go to donate it...
(Hear hear!!
10 days...? Our life ends in 10 days...?
SHIT! LANDY! WRITE MORE SP!!!!)
Yes Leri but people don't donate blood to completely healthy twelve year olds. They donate that blood to hospitals! No one donates blood to vampires because no one LIKES vampires. So long as the vampires stay out of there way they happily forget about us. The only way I can get blood is hunting or working.
... You could get it without hurting anyone... Just please don't kill for it...
*closes her eyes*
Then HOW Leri?
... Didn't Kestrel say she had lots?
(I cant stop watching Tom Hiddleston and the Ice Bucket Challenge... He had to wear a white shirt, didn't he...?)
That's Kestrels
(Well it was around the 10 day mark, could be 8 now. Anyway, it's getting close.)
*Ariana was about to touch the cub when she pulled back, waving her arms again and giggling. Roland laughed at the baby.
The cub started eating from the plate as Roland gently patted him on his head.*
Roland: You do not have to thank me. It has been my pleasure to do it.
(Aw... No...)
*She laughed and snuggled her face into Ariana's hair. She looked at Roland from the corner of her eye, shaking her head*
I could be dead right now if it was not for you. You saved my life. Thank you, Roland. Thank you so much.
*A thought forced its way into her mind and she frowned*
Uh... I was... I was talking to Loki earlier... He wants to meet you...
She said you could have some...
I know.
*sighs*
I'll try hold out till I see her next. Right now though I have something to deliver.
*smiles at Leri*
Sorry for hurting you.
(. :-(. )
(Hey Sorta Parse)
(Hey Snip!)
... What are you delivering?
A parcel. To say sorry.
*Roland nearly dropped the plate as he quickly looked at Rose.*
Roland: He can not come here. He can not!! Why? He is going to kill me... he's going to do so much damage...
(Wait, I thought our timeline was different or did Zaf not agree to that? And she doesn't have to agree to that to be fair if it's a different timeline altogether.)
(Hello! Who wants me for RP?)
(Sil: Viv....*pouts*
Me: Hush. That's rude.)
O.O
Ten days? I really need to finish AOH
(Are you healed yet, Sil?)
... Can I see it?
*She hid her face in Ariana's hair as she spoke*
He won't kill you, well, he told me he wouldn't kill you. And I... I think he wants to meet you... Oh, God. I don't know, Roland... If he lays a finger on you, I'll hurt him.
(Zaf didn't agree with it.)
(Well I think Zaf is being ridiculous. We found a solution for Rose to be with Loki and Roland. She's just being selfish and she can just get over Rose. Our relationship is in a different timeline and she can just get over it.
I'm sorry if it's harsh but you are not hers to own.)
(partially...)
*pulls a gift wrapped parcel from her bag and hands it to Leri*
... What did you buy them?
(Then sorry but no...)
(It would solve a lot of dramas and hassles to have ours on a different timeline, as we originally planned, but she doesn't want to separate everything like a few others have.)
Nothing. I cleaned Death's jacket. I made a collar for the wolf that will adjust to its neck size as it grows. I made an awesome looking silver shield and feather preener for Roland. I made a braclet for the baby. And I put in a few other things for Rose.
(Oh. Okay then..)
(Well I'm sorry but she can get over it. Ours is in a different timeline. Case closed. And if she kicks up, she can mail either of us.
So let's continue as if ours is on a different timeline.)
(She must be fully healed)
(..why?)
(Okay. Different timeline. That'll help RoseTC calm down a bit.)
*She pulled Ariana and herself against Roland's side and snuggled herself into his arm*
And you said that you hadn't had any friends? You made three. All in a few days. You have Marrok, Ariana, and me. Well, the last one is just kind of a happiness leech, so she doesn't count.
(I don't know....for her own good probably)
(...what?! What? *tries to think of different words* I get your pardon but what? What do you mean for her own good? Why does it matter if she's well or not when she sees Viv?)
(He doesn't want to hurt her when he hugs her)
(I have to go now. Bye!/
(See ya, Dragona!)
(Bye Dragona)
(Ooh. That's an interesting email...*grins* very interesting....)
(Was that directed towards me, Tetris?)
(Nope. This is a different email Death.....)
(*waiting*)
(Was it ME?!?)
(Oh, well my email still stands. Like, forever. I'll come back one way or another!)
(Wait. Viv. Snip was you...?
*Mind blown*)
(Yeah, I had to change accounts and I decided to put in a new character)
(I quite like him)
(I... God, Viv. I was trying to figure out who you were all that time. You knew how to roleplay so you were one of us...
Okay. Shower time!)
(Bye Rose)
(No Vivanus it wasn't you who emailed me either.)
(Anyway...)
*gets up and walks to Casha's house, leaving the parcel on the door step before ringing the bell and walking away*
*blood then finish healing...*
(*wonders who emailed Sil*)
(bye rose)
(*will never tell*)
Hmm.. maybe I can knock a deer out and draw some blood from it...all I need is enough to keep me from eating people....
*wanders between the trees*
(*wonders if the email was from a boy*.
*wonders if Sil likes the boy*
*wonders if she will be his girlfriend and have no time for blogland*)
(*laughs at the idea of anyone liking her like that*
*which quickly turns into sobs of 'i'm going to die alone'*
*pretends that never happened*)
(*wonders if Sil will heal herself*)
*sighs and figures blood can wait...for a bit...hopefully*
*takes a portal to her treehouse and flops onto her bed, gritting her teeth as the sigils flare up*
*stuffs her face into a pillow as the last of her bones heal themselves and hee leg corrects itself*
*sighs in relief when the sigils fade*
(*laughs at the idea of not having time for blogland*
*laughs at the idea of anyone liking her*
*laughs at the idea of any someone that likes her having her email*)
*a dead human flies in through the window*
*a dead corpse
(Em...?)
(*laughs with Sil*
*doesn't know why he's laughing*)
*jumps and stares at the human*
...
*nudges it with her foot*
*it doesn't move*
*crouches next to it*
*its dead*
*takes a breath in, trying to determine how long its been dead for*
(*stops laughing*
I'm going to be forever alone! Yey!
*laughs again*)
*about an hour*
(*looks at Sil strangely*
Okkaaaaay....)
*looks around a moment*
*slits its wrist and frowns when little blood flows out*
*oh well*
*brings the wrist to her lips and starts draining the body of its remaining blood*
*it won't come back as a vamp*
*is waiting outside, out of sight*
*She heard the knock on the door and stood up, shuffling the Ariana onto Roland's lap and going to the door. She opened it.
No one.
Then she saw a package on the ground and instinctively became weary*
Who... Who's there...?
*Last time a package had been gift wrapped at her door, it was a bomb. She wasn't taking any chances as she picked up the wrapped package and walked far away from the house, just in case*
*smiles as her body is reminded of what it needs, what it wants, what it craves*
*drains the body completely*
*let's go and wipes her mouth*
Mmm.
*feels the blood lush in herself growing, climbing, and pushes it down*
*now is not the time*
*opens a portal and pushes the body in, deep above the atlantic sea*
*climbs up and leaves about four blood packs while she's gone*
*jumps back down*
(The parcel isn't a bomb. It contains:
Your jacket, clean.
A collar that will automatically adjust for the wolf.
A braclet for Ariana.
A shield for Roland.
A wing preener for Roland.
A frost giant wooden statue for Rose.
A new pain of earings for Rose
A pistol with Roses name engraved into both sides of the barrel, for Rose
And a not saying sorry.)
(Prewarning. Wifi may be switched off again tonight any moment...)
*turns and finds the blood packets*
*doesn't hesitate, just grabs them and drains them quickly, ignoring the beast inside her growling for more*
*it never shuts up*
*walks and puts the empty packets in the bin*
(**note not not)
ROSE!!
*a hook swings up and catches on her windo sil*
*lays back in the hammock he just made*
