*walks over to Rose and Raven* I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met. I'm Commander Keating. Although it would be my nature to avoid a game like this, I'm wondering whether any of you are wanting to take over the world or if it's just... Loki? The one who thinks a dagger is advanced weaponry.

Jophiel said...

*She curtsies at Commander Keating, smiling*
I'm Rose. And I've always wanted to take over the world. Not once have I not thought about it. But I'm not rushing into things, nor shall I pair with Loki. Because he wants me to kneel. And I don't kneel to no one.
So yes. I want to take over the world as well.

Raven Astracae said...

(Back from the ridiculousness of BArbie and Ken land.)

Dragona Pine said...

Hello Rose. I'm currently trying to figure out how many people could pose a threat. I left for a few bloody months then came back and there's some asshole who is immune to physical attacks. Then I think I pissed off someone called James by breaking his jaw. And its only my second day back.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hey, guys.

Um, I'm just commenting to say that you can forget about the whole Hewitt thing.

I'd say pretend it never happened, except that it did, and I'm gonna probably move the story forward on my own, but yeah.

I can't be here right now.

There's no right answer.

There's no full story.

Goodbye.

Raven Astracae said...

*Looks and Commander Keating*
Do you have a less formal name to go by? I'm Raven. No, I do not wish to take over the world.

Raven Astracae said...

(nawwwww....poor Specs. Ok Fabi.)

Dragona Pine said...

Sophia. My first name is Sophia.


(Seems I'm really confusing people at the moment. I'm a boy, and my RP character is a woman. Mainly because she's like the best character I've ever made.)

Jophiel said...

*She laughs*
Well... If you think being immune to physical attacks it bad... I can manipulate gravity,
*She twists her fingers and the gravity around Commander Keating becomes stronger*
And kill people just by glaring at them. Talk about the Death Glare...

(*Cuddles Fabi*
*Doesn't know what to say*
I love you, please remember that...)

Raven Astracae said...

Well hello there Sophia.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

We do not live in caves.

Dragona Pine said...

*nods* That must be useful. People have told me I have a killing glare, but that just takes it to a whole new level.
I, myself, have no magic. But I can manipulate a certain type of electromagnetic field and dark energy. For example, I can create an unstable point of nearly infinite mass - essentially a small black hole, which vanishes after a few seconds. But it has other uses, too. Most notably, stasis fields, energy shockwaves and I can create an unstable mass of dark energy which can rip someone apart at a molecular level.

Dragona Pine said...

Hello, Raven.


*turns to Loki* Are you sure? Your technology seems to be forming a trend of being hilariously unimpressive.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I have no desire to continue this.

Jophiel said...

Yo, Loki! Wanna team up and take over the world? You get one half, I get the other?

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan came back into the room just as Casha had finished nursing Ariana. He smiles as he comes in and sits beside Casha. He puts out his arms and she gives him Ariana as she leans back with her eyes closed.*

Casha: Lorcan we have to talk about something important.

Lorcan: Yes my love?

Casha: Do you know when we get ready to leave the hospital?

Lorcan: Hmmm?

Casha: We have no home or no where to go to but a cave.

Lorcan: Oh shit...

*He looks down at his daughter and suddenly realises that they were never prepared for this baby at all.*

Raven Astracae said...

*studies Sophia*
Can I call you Owl. You know, because Sophia means wisdom and owls are smart, plus I'm bird bias, because, no explanation needed, well maybe there is. I am bird bias because I can turn into a raven.

Jophiel said...

*She laughs and winks*
Oh yeah. My glare rocks!
And, uh... You know... That is really cool and all, but I would much prefer not to be ripped apart... If we ever fight...

Dragona Pine said...

Rose, I hope you understand if you are serious about that it's part of my job to arrest you. I'm currently not arresting Loki because, despite his intentions, I doubt he could rule a small village, let alone a planet.

Dragona Pine said...

Owl? Normal people call me Commander... But I see no harm in it. Maybe because I'm in a good mood.

Jophiel said...

I don't know if I'm serious or not, Keating. But you wouldn't be able to catch me if I was. And oh, he definitely has the ability to rule the world...
*She frowns*
Again. I defend him...

Dragona Pine said...

I have a ship. A frigate. Currently a few thousand miles above our heads. I would be able to catch up to you, if that's what you mean.

Raven Astracae said...

*bows to Owl*
Thank you.
(I must leave now, thanks to food and hunger and breakfast.)

Jophiel said...

*She creates a gravitational repulse between her and the ground, making herself hover*
I can fly. And I have countless safe-houses in every country and state. I wouldn't be thinking you could find me too easily. I tend to blend in.

Emerald Melody said...

Fine.

Just ignore me.

Not actually in the mood anyway.

Goodnight.

Dragona Pine said...

Impressive, but no match for the sensor array on my ship. A frigate is a scout and recon vessel, after all.
Let's just hope we never have to fight, hm? I won't get glared at, and you won't be ripped apart. Or arrested.

Jophiel said...

Em! I said hi, I encouraged you to join and play with us.

My character is elsewhere. She doesn't know the Lorcan and Casha were stressing over something! Ring her up or something!

Jophiel said...

I've been arrested more times than your heart has, or ever will beat, Keating.
I will always win...

Dragona Pine said...

(Meanwhile I have no idea who Lorcan and Casha even are - I'm not normally on at 1:11am.)

John said...

*Rockets into Bogland on his electric-powered swivel chair and comes to a screeching halt in the center of the RP*

Hello everyone and anyone here :D

Dragona Pine said...

You may have been arrested, but you've never been arrested by me. Your police - they have laws, rules, guidelines. I have none of that bullshit.

*shows Rose her Spectre badge*

It's my job to ensure galactic peace at any cost. I'm above all standard laws. That means if you won't cooperate, I get to shoot. No questions asked.

I'm not threatening you though, I'm letting you know what my job is.

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Blake! How are you?)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

The first thing I have to say is that I am not against anyone. I am not against Adra, I am not against Zaf, I am not against Death, I am not against Trip. I am not even against Loki, though I can't say I like him. I pity him, really.

The next thing I have to say is that I am not accusing anyone of anything.

The next thing I have to say is that I don't want anyone to fight. And I know full well- *shoves Alastair* How abrasive and insulting characters can be to other characters. I just want to make a clear statement that Adra never wanted anyone to fight- in fact, she hates it when there's fighting and will usually end up coming on just to ask one of her friends to stop when it happens- and I don't want her to be villainized. I don't want Zaf to be villainized either. And I'm not accusing anyone of villainizing either of them- I just want to make sure it doesn't happen. I know Zaf's been putting in an effort not to lose her temper on the blog, and having Loki here has been a really interesting challenge for a lot of people. Zaf and Adra even collaborated for a bit, I understand. It just became too much for Adra when the insults got out of character, but I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't just want to be happy, and it would kill me if anyone started being needlessly treated/viewed as an antagonist.

Re-emphasizing my first two things. I am not against or accusing anyone.

And I'm sorry if I've diminished the mood of this place. I just felt like it needed saying, and can't stand to see any of my friends hurt.

#ChaseForBook9

Raven Astracae said...

BLAKE!

Dragona Pine said...

(Aretha: *just agrees*)

John said...

Hello Sohpia, Raven. How's life? Or maybe death, knowing this place...

Raven Astracae said...

Life is amazing! And yours?

Dragona Pine said...

My life is fine, thank you.

John said...

It's alive, for the moment. Anything overly interesting going on?

Jophiel said...

You think that people care for a pyschopath's daughter? A famous general? I was used for bargaining! They abused me beyond belief! You think that they cared!? Ha!

(Hey Aretha. That's kinda what I was tryin to say, but less rudely...)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I care.

#ChaseForBook9

Raven Astracae said...

(In relation to Aretha's comment. I have not been here long enough to understand what all the fighting is about, therefore I will refrain from passing a lot of judgement on the situation at hand.
What I will say is this, Blogland has been escape for a lot of traumatic experiences and for that I am thankful. For whatever reason one cherishes Blogland, I hope that the fighting will stop for the sake of Blogland and what it means to people if not anything else.)

Dragona Pine said...

Well, Blake, I met someone called Loki who looks like someone from Macbeth, whose idea of advanced weaponry is a dagger.

John said...

Well for a lot of us here the idea of advanced weaponry is our fists, albeit magically enhanced, and that works just fine now doesn't it?

Snow said...

Herro nutters

Raven Astracae said...

I'm a nutter?
*smiles*
YAY!

How are you Snow?

Dragona Pine said...

(Seems I have to go. Bye!)

John said...

Herro Snow

Snow said...

I'm good.

Apparently, there are a lot of people who have no life.

Raven Astracae said...

But it's fun to read the things. That's why so many people have no lives.

Raven Astracae said...

(Bye Owl)

Snow said...

I am officially 2 years old

Raven Astracae said...

Happy Blogversary?

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello!

Snow said...

*tackles amy*

Amethyst Temerity said...

*gets tackled*
*sees Snow's head and immediately noms it*

Snow said...

MY HEAD IS INEDABLE

Raven Astracae said...

AMY!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Raven!

Raven Astracae said...

How are you?

Amethyst Temerity said...

I'm fine, thanks! You?

Amethyst Temerity said...

Snow! Did you find that magical world of ice cream?

Jophiel said...

()

Snow said...

I dont knowww

DEATH

WHICH MONTH DID YOU JOIN IN

BECAUSE I JOINED IN JULY

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Death!

Raven Astracae said...

I'm great thank you.

There's a magical world of ice-cream?

Amethyst Temerity said...

Should be one, I mean, why wouldn't there be a magical world of ice cream?

Raven Astracae said...

Oh.....Well who can argue with logic like that?

Jophiel said...

(August...)

Amethyst Temerity said...

*nods*
*drags every person here to one spot and forms a straight line*
*starts patting everyone's head*

Raven Astracae said...

Sorry Bye!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Bye Raven!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Have you all run away?

Amethyst Temerity said...

I have to go eat dinner. Bye!

Jophiel said...

I'm still here, Loki. So, do you want to take over the world with me?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I would.

Jophiel said...

*Her eyebrows shoot up in shock*
Really? Like, actually really? Oh my God. This is great! This is so awesome!
*She spins and giggles*
Oh my mad king Ludwig! This will be great!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I will regret this....

Jophiel said...

If this is going to work, no more possessing me. I am... On somewhat equal footing as you, and you will no longer command me to kneel. They are my only requests, and that's all.

Jophiel said...

No, you will not. I promise on my own life, that you will not regret this.
*She cuts her finger open with a knife from her jacket pocket and draws a cross on her chest*
I, Death Rose, promise that you, Loki Laufeyson, will not regret this decision.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Very well, Rose. I have an army, and I need a way to get them over, to take over Blogland. If you betray me, I kill you.

Jophiel said...

I'm a hard one to kill, Loki. And I promise I won't betray you, as long as you don't betray me. I can go undercover for you, if you'd like. They'd never expect that I decided to side with you.
To get the army over... Hmm...
*She wonders, tapping her finger against her lips*
I would not have a clue... How much does Heimdall see...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Heimdall cannot see myself, Zanida, or the Frost Giants.

Jophiel said...

Alright then...
*A smile forms on her face*
Let's say, if I were to go to Asgard and chill with Heimdall to see how he does the whole operating the big scary transporter thing... Bifrost...? Yeah, if I see how that works, then I could get Heimdall away from there and Ito the city. Then I could get you and then you could get your army to here...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

While your plan is indeed genius, I would have to transport an entire army into Asgard, then Midgard. I have the Tesseract, if I use it, I need to get somewhere with energy, something like Stark Tower.

Jophiel said...

*She curses*
Damn... You're right...
Power. Power, power, power, power. Stark Tower? In New York? I've always fancied a trip to New York... I could keep him occupied while you go and set up the transportation...?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Yes, let's go into New York. Wait here, I need my sister and Astrid. *vanishes and several minutes later returns with the girls, both already in their battle armor* New York City, then. I know where Stark Tower is, I need a way to transport them into Blogland, I have no desire to destroy NYC yet.

Jophiel said...

To get from New York to Blogland...? Oh... That shall be difficult... Can you open two portals? One from your army to New York and another from New York to Blogland?
*She smiles and waves at the girls*
Hey.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No, unless there is somewhere similar in Blogland.

Zanida: What about....Zafira's treehouse?

Jophiel said...

Zaf's treehouse? That might work...

We should have a really large, super energised place. I shall look into that... Eventually...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I agree, which we can easily set up, if I need to control people to get it I shall.

Jophiel said...

*She nods*
So. This is already more than one hundred times for effective than my taking over the world plan has ever been.
Now. Super energising place. How shall we go about that?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Somewhere in Blogland the others will not disturb us.

Zanida: By the volcano, we could use the lake as energy perhaps, or the lava.

Jophiel said...

Good idea. But it might be slightly hot near the lava.., just warning...
*She looks at the volcano and smiles*
Okay! Let's go!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*the Asgardians go over, Zanida already becoming excited with the lava near her*

Jophiel said...

*She shies away from the lava, fearing that someone might push her in*
Hey, Astrid... Sorry about what I said before... About the whole Loki thing...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Astrid: I understand. *sighs* Many people call me insane for liking Loki, I know not why.

*is with Zanida by the lake*

Jophiel said...

It's just that he mentally tortured me. And that doesn't sit well with me. But I can't stop defending him... So I might as well join him.
*She laughs to herself, her hand reaching up to cover her face*
Thor will kill me.

So lava. How to harness lava? Hmm...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Astrid: Zanida can, she's not stupid, I know not how though. *they see Zanida manipulate the lava into a small river*

Jophiel said...

Oh. Right. Zanida can do firey stuff.
*She laughs into her hands before pulling them away*
Oh, I am an idiot. And Zanida is really cool. This is going to be epic.
*She watches Zanida manipulate the lava in awe*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: I need a day with it, then I'll have enough energy the Tesseract will be fine.

Jophiel said...

That is so cool, Zanida!
*She looks at the lava then to herself*
If I get any closer to it, I'll burn to a crisp...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: Thank you. *goes back to working with the lava, Loki next to her* Perhaps I can get enough....is that what you want, Loki?


Astrid: As you can see, she's dead useful.

Raven Astracae said...

(I'm not really here I just wanted to know if songs can have a plot and story lines?)

Noelle said...

Bohemian rhapsody.

Just saying.

-goes-

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((They often do.))

*approaches the four* I was content to sit back and watch you lot throw your weight around and threaten, but now that you're actually taking some action, I suppose I'll have to try and stop you. *sighs* Honestly, there should be some other fool playing the hero to do this...

Jophiel said...

(I've got no clue...)

*She shakes her head and turns to Astrid*
Zandia is sick. That is beyond awesome. I'm envious.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: Alastair, I would suggest staying out of this.

Astrid: It is your well, painful and maybe death coming.

Jophiel said...

Alastair, you don't have to stop us! You can just sit back and make a few daisy chain, or something!

Raven Astracae said...

(Thank you.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: Thank you, Rose. I'm not bothered by this actually.

Jophiel said...

But Zanida! It's molten rock!
*She looks at the distance between her and the lava - about twenty feet*
It is already burning me from here!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Make a chain, go find your girlfriend and make out, you do not have to stop us.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

A world run by Loki would not be kind to Adra, Death- you must know that. So I can't let it happen. *tosses a knife at Zanida's back*

Noelle said...

Alastair...

*Hugs tightly*

*Fades properly this time*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *the lava swirls around Zanida, protecting her from the knife*

If you want your girlfriend safe, perhaps I can...negotiate with you, Alastair.

Derek Landy said...

Derek here.

I came very close to shutting down this blog. I will not stand for bullying or name-calling on ANYTHING to do with me or the Skulduggery books. You all know where I stand on bullying — it is mindboggling that ANYONE would think they can get away with it here.

I've been reading the comments. Of course I have. I've never stopped reading the comments. I stopped replying when the roleplay began — I figured I'd leave you all to it.

But that has resulted in an atmosphere that has slowly become poisonous. Most of you are blameless. Most of you are here to chat and have fun.

But I have tried to address this again and again, I have written a blog post especially about it and I have communicated with the parties involved to try and sort it out without having to do in a public forum such as this.

And none of that has worked. So here I am.

Zafira, I asked you to leave this. You did not. Using "Loki" as an excuse to insult someone is ridiculous. Even in roleplay, I don't care how into it you get, if you suspect that someone is actually becoming upset in REAL LIFE over something you've said in ROLEPLAY, then for god's sake you STOP. End of story.

If I'm right, this whole thing started because of something to do with roleplay. Adra did something to annoy the character you were playing, and you let it bleed into real life.

Let's put that into perspective: Adra did something IN A STORY, something that NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE, and now you dislike her. Zaf, that makes no sense. That's ridiculous. It's beyond silly.

Bullying is a cancer. If we let it fester, it will grow, it will spread. Bullying can appear in many forms. Sometimes it's obvious and physical, and sometimes it's subtle, and it tries to squirm away whenever you go to pin it down. It's still bullying. It still ruins lives. It's still a hugely serious matter.

Derek Landy said...

As for the "oh look, she's gone running to tell on us" idea, if any of you ARE thinking that, I have two words for you: GROW UP. Of course people have come running to me. Of course they've alerted me to what's going on. They've realised I'm the only one who can stop it. This is what REASONABLE people do. We're not in the schoolyard. We don't have to play by those rules. This is the real world, and if there is bullying going on in ANYTHING I am connected with, it is my responsibility to stamp it out.

I cannot tell you how FURIOUS I am right now. These next few weeks were meant to be so much FUN. We're gearing up for the final book, for god's sake. Instead, what do I have to deal with? Aside from all the usual pressures of releasing a book? Aside from all the tours and the deadlines and the decisions and the business of being a writer? I have to deal with THIS.

I was going to close down the blog. But no, I'm not going to do that anymore. I'm not going to punish all of you for something only one or two of you are guilty of. And in reading some of your comments, I am immeasurably proud of a lot of you. You're standing up for what's right. Good on you.

So, Zafira. I spoke to you about this privately. I told you the reason I did it privately was that I didn't want everyone to know I was scolding you. I didn't want people to turn on you the way you've turned on Adra. Bullies can be bullied themselves, and that's not what I want either.

But we spoke about this. I asked you to quit it, and asked if we had a deal. You said yes. Within HOURS of that you were back to your old tricks.

I'm not going to block you from the blog. I'm not going to block you on twitter. I'm not going to block you on ANYTHING, because you're an enthusiastic and passionate reader. But you've strayed. You've strayed so far over the line of what I call acceptable behaviour. This is going to upset you. Of course it is. And that is deeply regrettable. I wish I didn't have to single you out. I tried not to. You didn't give me any other choice.

You're not blocked, Zafira. But you are on your last chance. There is no more after this. And as furious as I am about this situation, it has not yet coloured my thoughts about you, personally. You're still YOU. You're still the nutcase I yapped to on Skype. So you're welcome in this community, Zaf, if you still want to be here after this. You're so welcome to take part in the world that has grown up around these books, if you still want to read the books after this.

This is a home away from home. I've always been so proud of the way readers come together, always been so proud of the way we don't have any of that awful bitchiness that goes along with other fandoms. My view has been tarnished somewhat, but only slightly. I still believe that the Skulduggery readers are the best fans in the world.

But we do have to fight to keep it that way.

Jophiel said...

Derek, it is merely a character. Loki is a character. Loki does not not insult people. That is what he does.

There have been more serious matters on here, worse insults thrown, but you didn't come on then. Why now?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Okay. It's almost 11 and I'm quite tired, so let me say this simply: I have NO PROBLEM with Adra. i say it you Derek I say it to anyone watching. I don't. Whatever is being said is a lie, because I haven't had a problem! I worked with Adra! Why am I not allowed peace!! I haven't said a negative thing to her as a person! Are you saying that I'm not allowed to insult people as Loki?! I'm an actor, I stay true to my characters, Loki would totally insult people!
Maybe I'm overreacting but it seems to me everytime I do try to work with Adra things like this happen!-Zaf

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Thank you, Derek.

Just... words cannot describe my gratitude.

Jophiel said...

Derek, call me whatever you want, insult me, block me on Skype, refuse to let me access this blog, I don't care.

You are a writer, you should understand this better than most. You must understand how hard it is for a character to retain their personalities, and it's even harder for other people to copy that personality.

But Zaf. Zaf is doing an amazing job at being Loki. The way she can recreate his personality flawlessly is amazing.

Appreciate it, man.

Jophiel said...

*twitter
Not Skype.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

But the insults continued out of character. And they were genuinely deeply upsetting her, and would often drive her to leave.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Aye. I've said it before and I'll say it again, characters should not be able to comment out of character. It's simply impossible.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

...Thank you for those wonderful words of inspiration, Trip.

Jophiel said...

Whatever. I'm taking a very nice, very long break.

My parents have a strange dislike for Derek. Perhaps it was just that we had to wait about three hours to get my books signed in Melbourne... Perhaps it was his childish?

I don't know. Just thought I should tell you guys.

And I'm sorry Em. Em is going through shit and no one realises it. So someone comfort Em while I resume this measly life I once was so involved with.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thank you Rose. Thank you. I'm going to go punch a wall. Yes, I can punch. Am I happy? No. I didn't say a word in the past two days.

Quite frankly I was driving to Virginia to pick up my niece and nephew yesterday and barely commented at all. When I DID comment, it was like one comment.

I'm really fed up with being the one villianized. I really am.

-Zaf

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Zaf is not Loki.

Zaf can comment out of character, because her character shares her screen name, as Trip does with me.

So, if Zaf permanently changed her name to Loki, then when Loki comments out of character, it's her. If it's just a temporary thing, then it's her pretending to be a non-existent person.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose, stay in touch on email ok? This has drawn the line. I don't care who has a problem with me, if God himself has a problem, he can talk to me.

Adra has never once said Loki's insults hurt her, but I am supposed to mind read?! I am not a Sensitive, I can't read minds, how was I to know? She only ever asked one thing through the entire collab, that was to not kill her character off. So if I missed something, sorry. I try, ok I try. I HAVE tried. We can all change, there is both dark and light in us all.

It's the same as always. "I'm tired of being villainised"

"I'm the only victim here."

"I don't bully anyone, they bully me."

That last one really stuck with me.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Actually we're all pretty grey.

But moving on from philosophy.

Noelle said...

Trip, please don't..

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Trip, ENOUGH! I'm being singled out by my idol over a petty little thing that nobody even bothered to listen to me! This is why I asked to have ZafTC be Grand Mage, because I want change in this world, fairness. I have yet to see Derek ask me to explain my side, because the 'bully' card was played. You know in courts they hear both sides.

-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

As for you Derek, if you take ten minutes to actually talk to me in private so I can REPLY I will gladly talk this out. I have all dang night, I'll sacrifice sleep to end this now.-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

No one here wants this debate. Shall we move on?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, alright, fine, try to hash it out. *vanishes until further notice*

Snow said...

I'm making a cake. And my parents are out.

So... if you never hear from me again, the house burnt down

Noelle said...

Happy Blogversary, Snow!-Zaf

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Elleni, I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a jackass, but to be quite frank, you weren't there.

You weren't there when this funny, quirky friend of ours turned on us.

You weren't there when we tried to appease her, in the hopes that the storm would pass.

And you weren't there for the crushing realisation that this was a permanent change. That your friend was gone, and you couldn't quite discern why.

You weren't even there when we realised that fleeing from this place that for so long we had called our home was the only option. That hiding was the only way to escape such a menace.

And then to watch as when we were gone for so long she spewed horrific things about Adra to you, the next generation.

And then, when we thought it might all be over, when Zaf stopped talking about us, and we tentatively returned, in hope of peace.

You weren't there the first time the person I once looked up to and called friend took that hope from us. Nor the secend. Nor third.

You don't know the history, and so I know you men well, you remind me of me, except better, but please, your neutrality is more damaging o us than you know.

Noelle said...

Trip!
Babe, you're getting really angry again. I know you hate to see me hurt, but you're being kind of crazy right now. Please, step away for a while and cool off.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

So yeah.

That's why this situation hurts.

Have a good night everyone.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Lies lies lies! What else have you told Derek about me!

I hope you're all happy, you too Derek, I'm in tears. I'm sobbing, but none of you care. I thought you cared about us, but you don't, Derek. You don't you know NOTHING of us what happened. You know the lies they fed you. LIES

If I don't comment tomorrow, I'm dead.

Noelle said...

I swear, that boy...

*Goes after him*

Raven Astracae said...

*walks to Elleni*
*pulls out half melted chocolate bar*
Do you want half?

Noelle said...

*Pokes her head back in*

And Elleni?
Well...

I'm sorry- he's just hurt beyond belief- and I don't imagine that he is that often, and he has a huge temper. Please, he isn't angry at you as he is with everything else..

I'll talk to him, don't worry..


*NOW GOES*

Raven Astracae said...

Anybody want half?

Raven Astracae said...

*leaves chocolate bar in the ground*
Someone can have that I have to go.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I want to jump off a bridge, but I'll take chocolate...-Zaf

Jophiel said...

And no one cares about what Zaf just said?

"If I don't comment tomorrow, I'm dead."

If you think that she's doing it for attention and she actually does commit suicide, will you blame yourselves? Or will you forget about her?

I don't forget about my siblings.

But I'm stupid. And immature. And I hae a strong ass opinion. So I might be wrong.

But if she does die, then I will never forgive myself. Or any of you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Boom-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I'm sure we care, Death. Hell, even I care. But I thought the idea was to move away from it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I dedicate this page to peace. That's all I want. I just want the peace and quiet we had before all of this started.


I want the days back where we could joke and laugh with each other, I want those back.

I want peace. That's all I want guys, I don't want the fighting, Derek getting involved, none of this. Let's just all move on! Let it go, let's wipe the slate clean, start over fresh. We all know each other well enough to do this.

That means EVERYONE, including Derek and myself, lets put this behind us. The past is in the past, unless Derek went to Comic Con or he secretly is the Doctor and has the TARDIS we can't go back in time, but we can fix the present.

I'm asking everyone here to put the bullying, hatred, anger, mistrust ect behind us. We are Minions, we all survived LSODM, and we can survive this. Everyone just...it's hard. We do have to forgive and forget, but to start we need to be able to put it all behind us.

I speak directly to anyone I may have hurt- I am truly and deeply sorry, for whatever I may have said in the past year. Words cannot describe my sorrow.

Derek- I am sorry, I have more then a lot of what my fellow Ameriminions have, and I seriously let you down. Try not to think too badly of me, when you're reading this. I'm a horrible person, I know, I'm human and make mistakes. At least I own up.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I probably won't be here tomorrow, but then again, nobody does care.-Zaf

Jophiel said...

Zaf. I care.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

One of the only people.-Zaf

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

We have the worst ahead of us, and we should face what's coming together.

I too am sorry for when I hurt you Zaf, and hope we can put the past behind us.

So, can we be friends again?

Jophiel said...

Zaf. Get on Skype?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I care! Really, I care so much. I don't want anyone to be villainized. And again, I'm sure all anyone wants is to be happy... People care, Zaf, myself included. I don't want to see you hurt.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yes. None of us want to see you hurt. We love you dearly, and you are one of the oldest members of our community. *hugs*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Trip....I do forgive you. We can be friends.


Rose, it's 12:07am, if I go on Skype and someone catches me up and awake, I won't need to kill myself, someone will murder me.

-Zaf

Jophiel said...

Okay... I'll talk to you later then, okay? We will actually chat about this.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ari- I think it's too late for the not seeing me hurt part. *points to Derek's comments* That killed me. I don't cry, I cried for 2 things this hysterically: Father's death, and the death of Frigga.

-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I know... I think everyone's been hurt, at this point. And I hate it. But I still don't want you or anyone else to hurt themselves- we can get through this.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ari- The one person I looked up to hates my guts at this point needless to say, I think I hit rock bottom.

-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Then you can't fall any further, so the only way to go is up.
I mean, it sounds cheesy, but still.
We can get through this, Zaf.

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

And, he doesn't hate you. That wasn't what he said. I think he just wants it all to stop, like the rest of us.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I doubt I can get back up, I'll never know if Derek will or won't forgive me, he never ever comments....

Thanks for having faith in me, Ari. I know some people do care about me.

-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm not even going to freak if Adra does or does not try to forgive me, I don't expect anything, which I deserve. I deserve to be in Hell, like Loki, or Ravel...-Zaf

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

You did. I don't think watering it down will help anyone. But he doesn't hate you. As I've said, no one does. We all love you, and I think we all went a little below our best, but I think this kind of intervention is what was needed.

We can all move on and forgive. As you said, we can be united in our love of Derek's work. That ded is the last nail in the coffin of nearly a year of strife.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Staying up late will do me no good at this point. *sighs*

Maybe Derek will answer and just forgive me and put my mind to rest...maybe not...-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf, please- that kind of thinking won't help you or anyone else. Derek ended his note with a tone of hope for the future because a constructive, rather than destructive, outlook was what he wanted to emphasize. At least, that's what I perceived.
And Adra doesn't want you attacked or insulted, either. She's said that here before.
We just have to try to build a stronger community after this.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I hope we can do what they do in Asgard and send the bloody coffin over a waterfall.-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ari- maybe we can rebuild. Maybe we can...Seaside rebuilt after a fire and Sandy....maybe we can too.


Did I liken myself to a hurricane? Hell....-Zaf

Amethyst Temerity said...

Jophiel said...

If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.

True Zaf.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Well, Alastair almost had to be the protagonist. Anything can happen.

Noelle said...

Derek might certainly not be pleased, Zafira, but I don't think he hates you. He just dislikes strongly what you've done, and has a zero tolerance for it.

And, like I believe, I'm sure that he knows that one day you will mature past this stage in your life- past the drama, and this blog, and move on. And I'm sure he knows that you'll learn to be a better person, and learn from your mistakes.

That being said, his words about tolerance still stand- he wanted to be firm, and he meant it. But he also is offering you a lifeline, of a sort. Like being Scared Straight.

That's all I have to say, I think.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

If anything positive came out of it, Derek solely claimed 75% of my feels being destroyed. 25% still is given rights to Tom Hiddleston.

-Zaf

Noelle said...

And I appear to be a little late on that.

Anyway, I should go back to canoodling. Ciao.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No, nothing is late at this point, Adra. We all have a say.

-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ari- I was wondering what Alastair had to drink seeing him as a good guy...-Zaf

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*hugs Zaf and Adra*

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*hugs Ari and Adra*

I read that as Zadra....holy hell...-Zaf

Noelle said...

He drank Adra

Ahahahahaha

I crack myself up *wipes tear*
*NOW GOES BACK*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yeah- he's really kind of hoping he can weasel out of it somehow, or something. But it's mostly just for Adra, really. He figures she wouldn't like a world run by Loki, and no one else was around to stop it.

#ChaseForBook9

Amethyst Temerity said...

There's so much hugging going on!
*hugs everyone*

Jophiel said...

This is where I really wish I was L. L would know what to do.

Are you watching us, L? I can feel you, man...

25% goes to Tom?
...
Same...

It's half 5. I went to bed at 12:38 or something, couldn't sleep for the life in me, and its half 5. I woke up at 7 yesterday. 7 am. WHY AM I AWAKE?!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Loki will gladly take Alastair up on that challenge, really.

I think he's willing to speak, I know not. He's still sort of in shock Derek commented and well as he says: "I never imagined seeing him comment, a Midgardian like him...well he did have his reasons, but he still can't top Odin."

Amethyst Temerity said...

Ugh. Hugs. Bah! Stay away! *curls away* no hugs. *nods firmly*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hi Silente-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hello Zafira Kerais. How are you?


How is everyone?
