«Oldest ‹Older 1601 – 1800 of 4135 Newer› Newest»*Lorcan looks back at the cave mouth, his whole head was wet. He had dipped it under the water to try and wake himself up.*
Lorcan: Ye... Yeah??
*Casha was shaking, she honestly didn't know what was happening. Baby felt okay and was kicking as normally but her whole bump was in pain.*
Casha: I'm just... I'm not sure...
(Right I'm going to have to go. I won't be back on until later on. So I'll see you all then xx love you xx)
(Okay Em!! Love you too!! <3 ))
*gets up, careful of Astrid, and goes out into the living room* Zanida?
Zanida: *comes up wrapped in a blanket* What?
Astrid is in my room, get dressed.
Zanida: I was asleep, Loki, I am going back to bed. *goes*
Astrid: *wakes*
*goes back by Astrid*
*Is here...*
*Valencia stands, giving a sharp look at Loki*
((Sorry msd have to go to church.-Zaf))
Perhaps you need your head examined, Valencia. *draws dagger, and sends it at her eye* You hardly are fun if you can heal yourself.
Back!
(in white, yellow, red, blue, black and green)
I am not acquainted with anyone here.
I've heard of Loki, good job of taking stark towers that one time.
*repeats her name, as though testing it out* Rane... Your name is beautiful, darling, but I think Adrasdos suits you better still. *runs his fingers through her hair* Then again, my opinion is biased.
I am so loonely...
I want monday to come already.
Hello, Elemental. Assuming that is your taken name.
*Valencia barks a laugh* And you are hardly fun at all.
-
*Adra smiles, and pulls him tighter against her* Maybe a little bit.
*kisses her lightly* What else has affected your life, my love?
*Adra's smile falls* Oh, many things... Cain being a main perpetrator- I met him the year before that one winter. He was three years older than me, and a much better fighter. We because colleagues through the fighting, you could say.
*Nods faintly*
I studied for roughly fifty years, after I had gained enough money through betting. The knowledge wasn't as vast as that of today, unfortunately... So I learned mostly languages. I spent a lot of time in - *Her voice catches* Gaia, of course, where I learned most of what I know now..
*She shrugs* And then I sort of played around for a while- partied, travelled, partied again...
*Frowns* And I was married to Cain for a while, and then Adrian, a-and... Then I was unbalanced until roughly the 1960s..
*brushes a few stray strands of hair away from her face* I'm sorry there's been so much misfortune...
*She lays still* Yeah, me too..
What is your fondest memory?
*Raises an eyebrow* Fondest? Oh dear... I don't think there are many to begin with...
*Bites her lip, trying to think* I...
Hm.
Probably when I was a young girl, before everything in my life jumped into a pit. I remember that my mother would take the flowers in the springtime, and weave them into my hair- she was quite good at it, and she always made sure that the flowers would last longer than most. Part of her alchemical specialty was that she was a healer, fittingly so, and the flowers that she would give me would last for days after being picked..
*She lifts up her hand, gently touching his face, and shows him a few images- of her as a young girl, her mother sitting on the steps to the house as Adra would play games with her brothers and sisters, giggling and laughing*
*Adra finds herself smiling at the recollection*
*there was a time when he would have found the memory repulsive, but now he's only glad that she has it* Your parents seem to be wonderful people. And you're unbelievably lovely when you smile.
*Touches the tip of her nose to him* They were good people... They didn't deserve to be killed.
In fact, they probably wouldn't have cared whom I was in love with, as long as I was happy. *Brushes her lips against his* They would have liked you.
I am back.
Alastair, that is not my taken name, I have none yet people call me egg.
Or mental in some cases.
I could've sworn you were the most evil person to ever live.
Alastair?
*laughs lightly* It seems a bit of a ridiculous notion to me, though I suppose it would make sense.
Well, if I like you, then they must like you as well.
Hmmph! *Turns her nose upward*
((I'm glad you think so, Elemental. Rest assured, I am no less of a sadist than I always have been, though I have, over the past few months, happened to have fallen in love. I care for Adra immensely, but I care little at best for everyone else. So I would hope you could still consider me at least among the most evil people to have ever lived.))
*lightly kisses her jaw* Perhaps they would, then, if you so insisted.
((*Cuddles Alastair*))
-
As for your parents... Well, what would they think about me? I know that I would very much like to reverse time and shove it in their faces...
Time?
Arasdos, do you know what my discipline is?
(adrasdos*)
I can give you the chance to shove time in their faces.
I love doing that to people.
(I'm currently an assassin because Leri is dying and yeah.)
Oh, ok.
I know about that.
Can I help leri?
I can't go the Silente's fear dimension and in the situation with the remnants somewhere, elleni says dugglyn's got it under control.
(No, I do not)
(well,
i can control time.
i switched from discipline to discipline before the surge and now i reverse myself in time to use different disciplines.
how do i get back to a timeshifter you ask?
I use a crystal [long story, stole it])
They like whatever is proper. But I doubt they would care what I'm doing with my life. Certainly, if they knew what I've been doing for centuries, they would want nothing to do with me. It's been so long since I last spared them any thought, anyway. ...What would you shove in their faces?
(Yes, you can help Leri. She's laying dying after being run through by a shadow.)
Ah, the infamous Dark Shadow
where do I teleport to save her?
(Next to the now-dead forest.)
*As he speaks, she becomes more angry* Shove the fact that you aren't the spawn of the devil! That they were wrong to be so awful to you... I mean, we don't have to mention that we've both killed millions of people, but... I mean, *Growls* They were wrong.
(ok)
*teleports and sees Leri*
Can you hear me?
*unresponsive for 3 minutes*
Ok then.
I guess this won't be as easy as just healing.
Sure, we could do that... Do you really think it'd be worth it, though? They only affected my life for so long, and it hardly bothers me...
Probably not, but we can at least try, Alastair... *She thinks for a moment* Do we get to put on cool clothes? *Gasps* Oh my gosh, do I get to wear old fashioned dresses??
*is just like... dead*
...Hello?
*is taken aback a bit by how set she seems on this* ...You genuinely want to go back in time and chide my parents for thinking me possessed?
((Hello, Luciana.))
Hey Alastair!:)
Adrasdos, I can help the two of you arrange that.
*Nods* Of course! They were being awful to you. No person should have to have parents like that..
I dedicate to my Alastair. *Cuddles gently* And to my Fabu. *Cuddles, too* And to Straw, *licks*, and Bear, and Bun, and Trip. *Cuddles* and, of course, to Awefa.
So, time travel or not?
Er... Alastair has a name that can do that..)
Goddamnit..
*walks away*
Hey Leri.
Riiight, you're basically dead...
*heals as much as possible, repairs suit and places a nutrient packet nearby*
WAKE UP!
((I am also capable of traveling in time, Elemental. You can concentrate your efforts on Leri'Hessa.))
So you want to just go back and scold them for it...?
That, and prove to them that you aren't a devil-spawn. And, you know, I'm curious about what they would say about us as a couple.
Hmm...
LERI LOOK IT'S THE DARK SHADOW!
*leri is still unresponsive*
Just wake up, would you?
...hello?
I'm here, though I shall be rather distant. I'm planning out a cover letter and beginning to write my synopsis for Imperfect.
...How have my actions thus far proved, in any way, that I'm not what they would consider evil...? They wouldn't recognize me, either... *trails off, considering*
They wont recognize you?
I CAN FIX THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE?
Please dude, I have no-one to help, Dragona probably poofed or something.
heh, 2014th comment
Well... *Thinks* I can put a symbol on you that will project an image of what you used to look like...?
And, true, we both have done nasty things... But... *Shakes her head* They were just wrong to treat you like that.
damnit, nevermind...
((I can shapeshift, as well, Elemental.))
...You could do that. Or, I suppose, I could simply shift into a form they would be familiar with. I just... I don't know...
It seems like all the things I can do, you can do too.
What is your TRUE discipline?
It's a rather unusual story, Elemental. My first discipline was to steal true names, therefore taking in the discipline and personality, for lack of a better term, of every name I've stolen. In total, as of now, I have 51. There aren/t many things that I can't do.
*She brushes her fingers over his cheek* Trust me, Alastair.. Please?
*Pauses* And if you don't want to see them, you don't have to. I can go speak to them alone, if you'd prefer. Which wouldn't be a problem, of course. I think I'll be more than capable of standing my ground.
*aren't
Hm.
I like you.
I don't know why people said you were evil.
So what if you have killed thousands?
I.. haven't killed anyone.
You aren't evil.
The things you do are.
((Perhaps because I torture people to death for fun? Because I've destroyed planets and killed off entire species? Or because I believe sadism is the truest form of human nature? I imagine those might have something to do with it.))
...It's only that that part of my life has been over for so long, I'm not sure that it's worth revisiting... Or perhaps I just don't want to revisit it... *takes a breath* But we can go, if it matters that much to you.
((Well, that's an interesting perspective, Elemental.))
((Alastair, if I ask really nicely would you be willing to split yourself and let me talk to John? Please, with lots of killing on top?-Zaf))
I don't believe that anyone is evil.
Alastair, being a sadistic mass-murderer, probably comes the closest though. :P
((No, Zafira. I have absolutely no reason to do so.))
Wow okay, I'm going to support Alastair. I believe that there is both good and evil in us all, light and dark. Alastair proves my point. A sadisitc killer, but now he's become a man who cares, just for Adra, but he cares. The light inside of him is coming out. Granted, he'd probably kill anyone in seconds, but again, he has both light and dark inside of him. He is not truly good or truly evil, he's flawed.-Zaf
*She kisses him* Yes, love. It is.
Please Alice? I've been good! I haven't tried to kill Adra! Or you!-Zaf
((Three of your characters seem to be relentlessly trying to kill us, actually. And it's in the roleplay that I'd need a reason to do it. Considering recent events, I'm surprised you even asked for a favor from me.))
...Alright. *is rather uneasy* We can go back, whenever you're ready, and find some age appropriate clothes once we're there.
. . .
Everyone is flawed.
Okay, so.
*sits down in story-telling chair*
Everyone has traits.
And these traits can be good or bad.
Like, someone can be stubborn and that is bad, but that can also make them very determined, which is good.
It all depends on your perspective and on how much they embrace those traits.
Alastair is just as good and bad as we are. He has just, until now, embraced his bad 'side' more.
(There aren't really sides. It's less distinct than that.)
And all of us have the potential to be worse than Alastair, and Alastair has the potential to be better than . . . um . . . Fabi.
(Well. Fabi is really really nice and awesome.)
Or as good as Fabi.
(*nods*)
If Alastair were not flawed, he would not be a person.
And he always cared. He just didn't care about people. :P
Like Adra said to me the other day, different things pull different people's heartstrings. Some people have different senses of humour. Some people get excited by ice lollies and some people get excited by rollercoasters. Some people cry at beautiful things and some people cry at the suffering of characters. Some people care about people and some people care about, um, hurting people.
*shrugs*
But we all have the same amount of emotions, I think. Although we can of course choose to embrace or supress.
I have to go now.
It's been good meeting you Alastair.
I will see you later
Bye!
Yup. Dat's what Adwa said:
"Different things trigger your heart strings. Every person is different. Not everyone cries at Holocaust museum exhibits. Not everyone cries at funerals. Every person has their own individual way of expressing themselves, and you aren't an exception."
YUP.
*nods madly*
Star, that was fabbity and I agree with it 100%!
*She takes his hand, and squeezes it* Let's go, love. I'll be right beside you.
((Goodbye, Elemental.
I may suddenly disappear.))
@Mushroom: THANKS!!! :) :) *hugs*
Alright... How far back shall we go?
((In my defense, ZafTC actually isn't in her right mind. So, don't blame her, and wait Loki and Zan only tried, Astrid is the pacifist one out of the Asgardians. Oh...Thor tried to kill you. Oh yeah! Well you did try to kill his wife! As for Zaf asking to see John, keep in mind Zaf isn't involved with the Asgardians. She's in her own little world. -Zaf))
((She heals them, and she's against Adra. That's more than enough reason for me to deny her any requests.))
((Can you keep in mind if she heals them, she's under his control? If Zaf wasn't under his control she'd have probably killed Loki herself, and plus when she was released she went mental. I'll be honest, she doesn't even remember healing them-Zaf
((I'll be distant at best now.))
*She thinks* Probably after they've sent you off, and you're old enough to actually be in love..
*zombie moonwalks on*
I have been walking all day and mu sister just maliciously attacked my eyebrows. How is everyone?
((Then may I ask you in rp, and let ZafTC kind of prove my point of she's mental?-Zaf
(HEY ZAF HOW ARE YOU?!)
(HEY DRAGGIE! HOW ARE YOU??)
(I hope Viv comes on today..)
((Alive. Awake. Bored. Oh you get to meet another Asgardian, Silente. Loki's fiance!-Zaf
(I'm fine, thanks. You?)
(@Zaf oh...joy. Shes not a.... A beech is she?
And that's if Viv DOESNT kill SilenteTC)
(@Draggie Slightly tires but otherwise fine.)
(**Tired. )
((Nah she's nice.-Zaf
(Oh good. I like nice people.
Hey so this may be a weird thought process but Lokis fiancee, shes a frost giantess. Right?)
Love?
(Why anyone would go and pay to watch/buy a 1 hour 40 minute Lego advert I have no idea...)
(That ridiculous Draggie.. Some people..)
(Is it me or is it REALLY quiet?)
((Asgardian. And sorry we're discussing when Mom and I are driving (yes I'm driving) down to get my niece and nephew.-Zaf))
(brb food)
(Sorry, I'm back.)
I am charging my kindle and my cat is sitting a basket next to me and she now has the sudden urge to start eating the cord. Cats!
*shakes her head lovingly*
Also, Hi peeps!!!
((Hi!-Zaf
Why did they have to start torturing people after I left!
And how does Elleni stay up that late? It was like 2am there/here!
Hi Zaffy!
Wait. I got to the east coast every summer. I wonder if you're close?
Do you know where LBI is? That's one of the places we go!
I do. I live in Pennsylvania though, and LBI is a pretty damn long drive. We usually go to Seaside Heights, if you guys wanted to do a day trip down the shore I can give you info.-Zaf
Okay back!
In fact, one min, James has a carzy idea in his head that wont end well
James: It will too
James, you...you just DONT DO what you're thinking about.
James: Why?! Is it not a good thing?
The first part, that's a good thing BUT NOT THE SECOND PART
James: You tell me to be true to myself
To YOURSELF not HER
James: But..ITS A GOOD IDEA!
Omg! We go to PA too!
But it's only a 3 hour drive to get to LBI.
We have a house there so it won't make sense to go somewhere else. :/
Plus I love LBI.
I was so worried about Sandy!
Luckily our house escaped with not even a missing shingle! How is that possible!
Do you guys go to the Poconos? I live in that general area. Like I can hear the cars go past turn 3 at Pocono Raceway.-Zaf
Its the WORST idea I've EVER heard. Imagine your places were switched
James: Okay
What would your reaction be
James: Yes. My reaction would be yes.
IT WOULD NOT BE YES JAMES
James: why do you doubt me?
BECAUSE IT WONT WORK
James: What's the worst that could happen?
The same as what happened last time. Only worse. Listen to me DONT DO IT
James: I'm going to do it. I will.
*facepalm*
Hallo!
SILENTE!!!!!
*supermagehuggletacklesofdoom!*
*puts salt and sugar on her face*
*noms it*
Oh!
*sprinkles salt and sugar on other side of face that Dugglyn is not nomming*
*noms other side of Silente's face*
AMY!!!
*grins wickedly*
*puts salt and sugar on her face*
*noms it*
Okay James is hopeless. This should be fun. At least it wont happen for a day or two or three.
Hey Amy! How are you?
I'm fine, thanks! You?
*pokes Silente*-Zaf
*noms on Silente's face while Dugglyn noms on mine*
Zaf, we went one year. Idk if we'll go again...
Zafira!!!
*puts sugar on her face and noms it*
(My friend really likes Marvel films... but I just find them cheesy and so full of plot holes it's unbelievable.)
WHY IS MY FACE BEING NOMMED?!
*does not look impressed*
Meanies!
Okay i realise there are already like 2 SilenteTC's but..James is nagging. So yay, SilenteTC3
*screams and ducks*-Zaf
*noms the other half of Zaffy's face*
This is good!
:')
You read what has been happening late at night on Blogland! We nom people's faces!
Purple Fabi!!
(*pokes Zafs eyes*)
*is sat in a normal version of blogland, before the trees all.....died*
James: *smiles from the shadows and adjusts his suit*
*fiddles with Viv's ring*
*she moved it to her middle finger recently, just in case*
*sighss*
James: *steps forwards, moving towards her*
Fabi!
*noms her face*
(*Noms Dugglyns face*)
*looks up and jumps to her feet seeing James*
LEAVE ME ALONE!
*has her hands at the ready*
James: *keeps walking towards her, a warm smile on his face* Calm down Sil.
*narrows eyes*
*turns into mist*
Ugh! Why do I always do that!?
*solidifies, her left eye missing*
Also, why does everyone eat my left eye?!?
...O_O We get to taste Silente's blood!!!!
*a cool mist hangs around a tree near Silente*
[A thin layer of metal (from her hairpins) melts over her face, protecting it]
I'm not edible, Amethyst. Thanks, though.
Purple Dugglyn!!
*high fives Amy*
Yes!!!
*hands Dugglyn a large knife*
I'll get the snow cones ready!
*brings out a snow cone machine*
James: Sil i.. I want to tell you something. Its important.
*just stares*
James: I..I need to.. I want to... *sighs* Silente Tempest, since way back in 1891 I've..I've been transfixed with you.
*raises one eyebrow*
*is just here*
(YOU MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT GET TO TASTE HER BLOOD!!! They must never know..
James: Not...not in the way your thinking..
Do you remember the first three years after your change?
*nods slowly*
James: Do you remember.. Me. Looking after you?
*nods again*
Someday I am going to make bread people with large faces and strawberry jam inside so I can nom on them without them running away. :D
*takes the knife*
Silente, I'm gonna need you to sit down. We have to cut my eye out of you! Amy will give you a numbing ice cream.
Good idea Amy!!! XD
O_O I can make it different jam...so it's different blood!
James: *smiles* Well...I know why you hated me back then. But i couldn't fix it back then! And now...now i can! I want to...to help you. I want..*takes a deep breath* Silente..I lo-
NOPE!
James: wh..what? No i need to tell you!
Yes!!!
*hands Silente numbing ice cream*
*holds two snow cones*
Here Dugglyn! I'll help you get your snow cone all bloodied!
(The yes was to Amy!)
*the mist seems to gasp*
...*tries to stop the temptation of licking Dugglyn's other eye*
Thanks!
*stabs Silente with the knife*
Whoa! You have _____ blood!!
Cool!
(What color blood does she have?)
(*backs away from Dug and Amy*)
No James you don't.
*turns to go*
James: Sil! *grabs her arm*
Get off me! *yanks her arm free*
James: Sil please listen to me!
*whimpers*
*licks Dugglyn's other eye*
Sorry! Sorry! *quickly drops snow cones and runs away*
SORRY!!!
(Just say it's...green! That color isn't used yet!)
(NOOOOO! YOU MUST NEVER KNOW HER BLOODS SECRET! *HIDES THE BLOOD FROM THEM* *RUNS*)
*lunges forward and stabs Silente*
(What color blood does she have?)
(...okay then. Maybe not green...)
(Ok, Silente. Unless you tell us otherwise you have green blood!)
(ITS A SECRET! AHHHHHH! NEVER WILL YOU KNOW!!! *RUNS FASTER* THEY MUSTNT KNOW!)
*is here*
