  7. YAY!!! Australia!!
    *Cuddles Loki*

  8. *cuddles Rose* Ah pardon me, I seem to have my author extremely angry. She always hates tour time because its like adding salt to a wound.

    ReplyDelete
  9. *Pushes Loki away and cuddles Zaf*
    I'm really sorry, Zaffy... I'll kick Derek for you when he's in Melbourne!

  12. Zaf needs my cuddles more, Loki!
    *She stuck her tongue out at him and squeezed Zaf*
    I'll kick him extra hard for you!

  20. *She took one arm away from Zaf and held it out to Loki*
    If you really want a cuddle so bad...

  21. @Death: I'm on a laptop, and I'm fine - I just have to reload a few times . . .

    ReplyDelete
  22. Maybe desktop computers have a thing with blogger...?)

  25. ((That is fine!))

    *runs over to Rose, and cuddles her*

    Zafira: Gods I'm cuddling with a god...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yep, Star. I now have this page open in five differrent tabs, in the hope that ONE of them will load up something that's NOT an error page. :P

    *hugs Zaffffff* Someday... :(

    (*frowns at the kicking* Well, I don't think it's Derek's fault, exactly. I presume touring is arranged by the publishers/publicity people and things? Also, I'm no expert, but I have a feeling that America is a BIG place, and so the minions are probably quite widespread? And maybe the books are less known over there, generally speaking? Thus it's probably not terribly easy to organize successful tour stuff, if you get me?
    In any case, though, it's not Derek's fault. And although it may be pleasantly therapeutic, kicking can hurt, y'know. :P

    idk. I hope Derek CAN get over to the States at some point in the near future, though. That'd be awesome. :) ^^ )


    (Sorry, commenting is verrrry not working. Distant/msd)

  27. Rose will kick him for me, and hopefully record the kicking for me, I could do with seeing Derek scream like a girl.-Zaf

    Ahh, what a lovely day. The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and two of my five favorite authors tweeted me back with names for the kitten I'll be getting soon.

    ReplyDelete
  29. IT'S THE PUBLISHERS

    PLEASE STOP BLAMING ONE OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE I KNOW FOR SOMETHING OUT OF HIS CONTROL
    IT HURTS

    @Death: Silente's on her phone, so it's not just computers. :/

  31. STAAAAR!
    *hugs*
    Derek was one of the authors who tweeted me! He says I should name my kitten Smudgeface.

    ReplyDelete
  32. *crosses fingers*
    Pretty pretty pretty please work!

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Clara: Yaaay!
    Smudgeface sounds nice. :)

    Hi!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Does anybody just see the Armageddon outta here trailer?
    I do! :/
    Bye!
    Email, Sil!

    ReplyDelete
  35. @Annika: *grins* I think Smudgeface sounds pretty cool. :P
    What was the other suggestion, from which other author? :)


    *hopes this one takes less than 30 minutes to post?*

    ReplyDelete
  36. Scott Westerfeld (author of the Uglies series, the Leviathan trilogy, and Afterworlds,) told me to name it Moggle!

    ReplyDelete
  37. My comments are having difficulty posting as well . . . and I am on my beloved laptop . . .

    ReplyDelete
  38. (Huh. That's an improvement... )

    I don't have that problem, Dugglyn, sorry. :(

    @Annika: I haven't heard of any of those three series *makes note*. But Moggle is also a good suggestion, actually. :)
    Also, the fact that you'll be getting a kitten just struck me, and YAY! :3


    *shakes an angry fist at Blogger*

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yes! A local shelter recently got a fleet of 3-month-old kittens, most of them with a lame paw or a missing eye. They were rescued from a very bad situation, and I shall get one of my own!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I am going to leave now, and give Blogger a little time to recuperate.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sorry, ANnika. Commenting is proving difficult. ^^

    @Zaf: Aw. :/

    My iPod can hardly even keep the music app open without crashing, so internet use is almost totally out of the question in any case. And my phone doesn't let me comment on here, ever.

    ReplyDelete
  42. @Annika: Oh, poor kittens. :(
    But it's grand that you'll be helping one out! :)

    Alright. See you, Anni! *waves*

    I'll probably come back to try every so often, I'm not sure.
    I'll keep my email open anyway, in case anyone's lonely? :P

    ReplyDelete
  43. (Currently it seems I can only comment if I quickly press the post comment button then minimise the blogger window and wait for a few minutes.
    Otherwise it says there's a server error if it's on screen whilst posting a comment.
    I have no idea why.)

  46. @Elleni: You're like the only one wihtout problems, then . . . O_O

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh
    It's better for me now, as well. :)
    Maybe it's fixed . . .
    YAAAAAAAAY!

    ReplyDelete
  48. (Okay Draggie we can continue here now if that's okay?)

    ReplyDelete
  49. PEOPLE ARE ARRIVINGGGGGGGGGGGG
    *runs in irregular pentagons*

    ReplyDelete
  50. (Yes, that's fine. :P




    Basically, Silente kind of accidentally revealed to Keating that she was indoctrinated, for anyone who doesn't know which will basically be everyone.)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Star: *falls over*
    ARGH!
    *rolls over and stands up, dusting off hands*
    *runs more slowly and cautiously this time :P*

    ReplyDelete
  52. *because it's naturral instinct to put a name and a colon in front of any type of roleplay even if it isn't now XD

    ReplyDelete
  53. (Elleni - long story.
    Giant robots.
    Mind control.
    Silente.
    Silente is going to get her mind controlled by a race of giant robots. *nods*
    Basically. :P)


    Silente, you said that you couldn't be stuck like this forever. You're indoctrinated. You know you are.

    ReplyDelete
  54. *shakes her head, wincing at the head it gives her*
    No I meant something else!

    ReplyDelete
  55. You were asking about a cure for it. There's no bloody way you could have meant anything else.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hunter: Silente.
    We're not trying to pester you, or hurt you.
    But the quicker we know, the quicker we can cure it.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hunter: *watches Elleni drag Silente away*
    Okay.
    Bye.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Shit. I remember something. I once read a report from a mission on the planet Theros.
    There was an ancient, sentient plant on the planet called the Thorian. Whoever breathed in its spores were mind controlled by the plant. I remember reading that an indoctrinated civilian had the effects counteracted by the Thorian spores. But we don't have a Thorian. And being under the Thorian's control is almost as bad as the Reapers'.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hi Dragona! Hi Elleni!
    *waves greetings to all who are returning, also*

    It's workign again, now? :)

    Might be around, a little, for the next half hour, then. :) ^^

    ReplyDelete
  60. ((Hunter: Hi sparkly person! :D))

    Hunter: @Sophia: Do you think there's any way people could portal to some place where they have it?

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't know that either! I don't want to ask Sophia, she won't tell me anyway. If I get close to her she changes the subject to something stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  62. She thinks it'll fix it or something, I'm not entirely sure. You'd have to ask her, not me.
    *clutches her forehead*
    Ugh.
    *screws up her face as colour drains from her face*
    *staggers slightly*

    ReplyDelete
  63. (@Dragona: *laughs* I'd forgotten about raisin, and it caught me by surprise then. :P I think I rather like having a nickname. :)
    I'm good, thanks. :)

    Hi Hunter! :D)

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yes. I could give people the coordinates of the planet. The Thorian was killed, but those who had been infected by the spores still had side effects from it, as if it still affected them in some way. I just need a spore sample. Being dead, the Thorian shouldn't control Silente's mind but still counteract the indoctrination. She might have a few side effects but nothing major. Occasional muscle spasms.

    ReplyDelete
  65. *shakes her head*
    No. I don't need to lie down.
    *straightens up*
    I'm fine. Just a headache. That's all.
    *turns back to Sophia and throws her arms out slightly to keep her balance*
    What are the symptoms?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hunter: Okay.
    *nods*
    Unfortunately, one of the only people who can do portals of that nature is Silente.

    ReplyDelete
  67. (@Dragona: *nods, too* :P)

    (*watching*)

    ReplyDelete
  68. The symptoms include headaches, dizziness, paranoia, you feel like you're being watched, ghostly visions, hallucinations... then the Reapers will manifest themselves as voices in your head before they take complete control of you.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I could get there in my ship, Hunter. But it'd involve me leaving for a few weeks. Which isn't something I want to do with an impending Reaper invasion. A portal would be the best way to get there.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hunter: Sorry, but I can't really do portals of that nature very easily . . . *pauses, thinking, his eyes flickering a few different colours*

    ReplyDelete
  71. El it could just be a coincidence! The plant they're talking about could screw me up worse for no reason!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Hunter: *slowly*
    Well . . .
    I have to time travel to get here. So, theoretically, I could spend an awful lot of time (*or pay someone else to do it*) getting there in my time and then come back here tomorrow . . .
    But I'm not prepared to do that unless I have to.

    ReplyDelete
  73. No, Silente. The plant is dead. The spores will have minimal effects.


    If there was a way to speed up my ship, I could get there quicker...

    ReplyDelete
  74. Minimal effects are still effects! What effects Sophia?!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hunter: *his eyes flicker again, trying to think of possible ways to speed up ships*

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hunter: @Silente: *shrugs, and his eyes rest on grey for a moment* Possible side effects are better than definite mind-controlled zombie effects.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Muscle spasms, at the very most. And not major ones. You could also be mentally connected with the people of Zhu's Hope who were affected by the Thorian previously... but that is only when you're close to them. And they live half a galaxy away. So that won't have any effect.

    ReplyDelete
  78. *shoots Hunter a look*
    I'm not a mind controlled Zombie.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Muscle spasms? To what degree? Randomly falling over? Dropping a cup? Throwing a knife wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hunter: @Silente: Not yet, you're not. :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. I can already reduce the mass of my ship to zero, Hunter. I would just need more power to propel the ship to greater speeds...

    Or, I could simply not decelerate for a longer time. When you travel faster than light, you accelerate for half your journey and decelerate for the other half so you arrive in your location at the same speed you left.
    I could potentially accelerate for longer, but it could be dangerous. But would cut down the time of the journey by a few days.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Silente, that is the only way I can think of to cure it. Having muscle spasms is better than having your mind controlled by bloody Reapers. Think about it.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Not when your job requires precision its not! Throwing a knife wrong could get me killed!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Hunter: *shrugs*
    We'll find a way to fix the muscle spasms.
    *his eyes are still on Sophia, waiting for an answer to his question*

    ReplyDelete
  85. Acceleration, Hunter. My ship can travel at fifty times the speed of light but it still isn't enough. We need to get there and get back as fast as possible.
    However, travelling that distance in one journey creates another problem... the drive core will be filled with static electricity which could reach dangerous levels by the time I get to Feros.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Hunter: @Silente: Yes I can.

    @Sophia: You see, I know a thing or two about energy.
    I can absorb electricity.
    I'm not sure if I can get you to go faster, however.

    ReplyDelete
  87. How can you Hunter?! You don't know ANYTHING about this plant! And Sophia knows how it reacts with HUMANS not VAMPIRES!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Hunter: *frowns* Yeah, but it's betetr than being a zombie.

    ReplyDelete
  89. It might not be though Hunter! Maybe, maybe if i am being controlled, maybe it won't even be that bad!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Hunter: You seriously think that?
    It'll be like being dead.

    ReplyDelete
  91. ...I've been dead before Hunter.....it wasn't that bad....

    ReplyDelete
  92. Hunter: *frowns* Yes, but this time, you won't be able to come back.
    Plus, you'll be spying on us. You could get us killed. Is that what you want? Me and Sophia, maybe, but Elleni, Viv?

    ReplyDelete
  93. *pauses*
    I...no.
    *sighs*
    No. I wouldn't. I don't. Not now not ever.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Hunter: *nods at Silente, and his eyes are brown now* I'm sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I shouldn't have jumped onto that stupid reaper.
    *sits down heavily on the ground*
    Fat load of good it did anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Hunter: It's okay.
    You were just trying to destroy it.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I didn't even HELP. I just got my stupid self stuck on a stupid robot with a stupid broken arm and a stupid controlled mind.
    *puts her head in her hands*

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hunter: @Elleni: We can bring her back.
    @Silente: Yes, but it's the thought that counts, and you did a very good job distracting it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yeah. Distracted it enough to make it destroy a few more homes. Lives.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Hunter: You know, Silente?
    You're lucky you care about them.
    You should be glad that you mind about their lives.
    It tells you you're a good person.
    *his eyes are dark grey*

    ReplyDelete
  101. *laughs*
    Yeah. Good. Sure.
    *falls backwards from her sitting position so that she's laying down*
    *lays an arm over her eyes*

    ReplyDelete
  102. That's what you think.


    So. How do we fix this? Cause it sounds like the plant is a no go.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Hunter: That is what I think.
    *his eyes brighten a bit* I don't think it sounds like a no go at all.
    You have no optimism.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Well from what Sophia has said if she goes for the plant it will either take forever or her ship will explode.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Hello Alastair. Remember the big robot from yesterday? Well apparently, according to Sophia, I have THAT controlling my brain.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Soph thinks so. She's under the impression I'm being used to spy for them and find weaknesses and what not.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Hunter: @Alastair: Apparently.

    @Silente: I'll stop her ship exploding.

    ReplyDelete
  108. (soz if slow reply cat on hand, arm pinning my typing hand.)

    ReplyDelete
  109. *Adra curls herself against Alastair, hugging him*

    ReplyDelete
  110. *holds Adra tightly*

    Well, I imagine Sophia knows better then the rest of us what we're dealing with. I'd listen to her. Why are you still here, if you know you're being used against us?

    ReplyDelete
  111. (welcome back)

    So Soph, you come up with an insane plan yet.

    ReplyDelete
  112. *Curls her legs around his waist, and hoists herself up, and kisses his neck gently*

    *Then slides down, walking away*

    ReplyDelete
  113. I'm still here because anytime I leave I'M DRAGGED BACK.

    ReplyDelete
  114. CAAAAAALLLLLLLLLEEEEEEDDDDDD ITTTTTTTTTTTTT!

    ReplyDelete
  115. (LUUUUUUUUUUUCIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
    *sprinkles with icing sugar*
    *tacklehugs*)

    ReplyDelete
  116. *scoops Adra into his arms and kisses her hair* *carries her away*

    ReplyDelete
  117. (wb)

    So Soph. What's the insane plan you've come up with?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Which insane plan? To cure your indoctrination?

    ReplyDelete
  119. Hunter: *thought indoctrination couldn't be cured, but okay then*

    ReplyDelete
  120. I'm sorry, Silente, but I'm not going to tell you. Because the moment I tell you, the Reapers will know. And then they will try and stop me.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Seriously. Are you kidding me? So, what, at some point you're going to kidnap me or something to fix me? Not exactly a good sounding plan.

    ReplyDelete
  122. It's the best one we have, Silente.


    Hunter, I remembered a report I once read.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Hunter: Plans never sound good, really.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Hunter: *thought he thought that, but okay then*

    ReplyDelete
  125. Soph...I'm sorry, for lieing.
    *moves her arm and looks up at Sophia from her position on the floor*
    But please...don't leave me out of the loop.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Hunter: I'm sorry, Silente, but she doesn't have much choice.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Hunter: Yay.
    I dedicate this page to popcorn machines.
    They're great collectables.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I haven't got a choice, Silente. Anything you see - the Reapers see. If we're talking about plans to survive, then they will know. And they will be able to stop us. Personally, I don't find being harvested and turned into a Reaper that appealing.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Okay. I have two problems here!
    One, if you keep me out of the loop, what's to stop these robots getting FURTHER into my head?!



    Two I can't get up.

    ReplyDelete
  130. I will stop them getting further into your head. That is, if the plan works.


    *helps Silente up*

    ReplyDelete
  131. *leans heavily against Sophia*
    Wooooow. Head rush.
    *blinks*

    ReplyDelete
  132. *shakes her head and focuses*
    Soph....I-I'm scared....
    *looks Sophia in the eyes*

    ReplyDelete
  133. We will get your mind free of them, Silente.

    ReplyDelete
  134. What if its already too late? Soph, don't let me hurt anyone. Shoot me before that happens. PROMISE ME you'll shoot me before that happens.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I'll set you on fire if that helps, fire that can't be put out by any regular means.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I promise I will shoot you before you hurt anyone. But it won't be too late. Even if they take full control of your mind, it won't be too late. What will be too late is if you lower yourself down on to a spike and get turned into a Husk. Then there is no cure.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Hey Chi *Hugs her tightly*

    The kids are sleeping, didn't want to wake them...

    ReplyDelete
  138. So... any news on the topic of Silente being infested with a robot zombie?

    ReplyDelete
  139. *glares at Blake*
    I'm not a robot zombie.....yet....or hopefully ever.
    However...Sophia may have been right. I may have a robot in my brain...

    Wait Chi you can bring people back from the dead right?

    ReplyDelete
  140. She is indoctrinated. She admitted she is. And we have a plan to counter it. Which isn't as easy as it sounds.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Hecate can. Goddess of magic and necromancy, duh.
