This time next week, many of you will have the final book in your hands. Most of you will be reading it. Some of you will be finished it.
I am so utterly delighted with the book and how it turned out — I really think it's the best one of the series — and so I am thrilled with the trailer that artist extraordinaire Tom Percival has come up with.
The clocking is counting down...

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 4721 Newer› Newest»Inky: you look like her... But you smell of... Nothing ...
*looks confused*
Where is she?! She made a promise !
*looks down and mutters * she promised ...
Zanida: What happened to her?! *Her hand goes to her lance, as if she is anticipating a fight*
((Haha Loki is AWESOME. -Zaf))
(Poop.
I dedicate this page to..
TDOTL trailer.. Well done Tom.)
Clone: *looks at Flick*
She's dead. I'm...Silone? Or just clone. Whichever you prefer..Sophia shot her..
Zanida: Dead?! What do you mean.....dead?
Clone: Sophia shot her in the head. She's dead...her body is at El's...im uh sorry...
Inky : no... Wait ?! No! She can't be ...
*points at Sophia... Rage in her eyes*
You! You... K k killed her?!
*presses back against the wall*
*screams*
She was my friend
Christen : miss Inky! Calm down ! *hugs her*
It's going to be fine...
Sophia: I had no choice. She would have killed Elleni if I had let her.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOG!!!!!!!! . It's soooooooooooo amazing!!!!
*dies of awesomeness overload*
IT'S COMING!!!!!!!
Also, today I saw someone's shirt that said okay? Okay. And I kept thinking of I'll punch you in the face? I'll punch you in the face.
Also, I'm going away for the weekend so I won't be on much. I leave again on Monday so idk when I'll be on. There is WiFi where I'm going but I'm not sure if I'll have time. Bye!!!!!!!
~Duggy the malfunctioning camel bean
Inky: *whispers* but she was my friend...
She promised... To kill me...
Christen: what?!
Zanida: *draws lance, pointed at Sophia* On Asgard, killing a person for what they are in unacceptable. I should kill you myself.
Clone: Actually she was in a bubble Sophia...she could move...much...at the time I mean...and she was just in a bad mood...she hasn't been feeding...
hello
Zanida: I would suggest staying the heck away from me, someone is going to die.
((Hi Em.-Zaf
(Hey Em! How art thou?)
(Hi Em)
Sophia: I killed Silente because she posed a threat to everyone. You were not there. Don't act as if you were, Zanida.
*looks at the Clone* She was going to kill everyone if she was set free. Elleni's magic wouldn't have lasted forever.
((Damn, I haven't been on Skype with you in ages, yet I can totally hear you saying hi, Em.-Zaf
Clone: *quietly* She might not have...she was just hungry...
Zanida: Are you stupid? She's a vampire so of course she'll want to kill. She needs blood, or are you that stupid you cannot understand what a vampire does? Silente would have controlled herself, but no, you think killing a person is the answer! Killing people doesn't solve anything! Loki and I learned that, you ought to as well! *her lance is engulfed in flames, ready to stab Sophia any second*
Christen : why in the hell would you...? Why ask that of her? Dying is not the answer!
Inky:*shouts * I know ! *quieter* I know . It's just I didn't want any harm to come towards anyone... Wait? I didn't... Attack did I?!
*looks frantic *
(I better go now
I have to go shopping for college clothes and notbooks tomoz
Byii)
I'm feeling okay, tired.
But I'm okay.
(See ya Flick.-Zaf
Sophia: You can put your bloody stick away, Zanida. James and Erica had changed Silente in some way. It was like they had split her personality in two - the good and the bad, and gave the nicer side to the clone. She was an animal. She could have killed Elleni if it were not for my intervention.
((Did you want to jump in with anyone, Em?
Yeah, I can get tired. I went to bed about 1:30am, woke up at 3am for another hour and a half of storms, then woken up at 6am for Dad going to work, then 8am trucks upon trucks came up the road. Heh. Was wonderful.-Zaf
(Bye Flick)
Clone: *leaves Flick and Christen in the house*
*closes the door and stands between Sophia and Zanida*
Calm down..people can bring her back....hopefully....
No it's okay Zaf, I'll just watch.
I'm not much fun with the tiredness tonight anyway.
Zanida: So you simply kill her? Sophia, there is always hope, you needn't take the life of a person who could be helped. Don't tell me what to do with my sword!
(Okay then Em. Hope you get some sleep soon :/)
I'm open if you ever want, not just my Asgardians.-Zaf
Zanida: Yes. You're right. *puts her lance away*
Clone: *smiles at Zanida*
Thank you...we don't want anyone else dead...
Sophia: I killed her because James and Erica changed her. We did not know how, or why. It was limiting damage. I made a call. The right one. I put down the threat and stopped their plans in the process.
Clone: But you will bring her back, right Sophia? Please?
Zanida: If you were an Asgardian, I would have arrested you by now. *looks at Silone* I know not what to do about the whole good and evil split thing.
Clone: Neither do I...El said something about James and Erica but..well...no one knows where they are..
Sophia: I don't have the power to resurrect her. But when we know what the hell was wrong and how to fix it, she can be revived.
I am not an Asgardian, Zanida.
Clone: But...I mean...if she's dead too long...won't she start decaying?
Sophia: People can fix that.
Clone: Okay. Thank you then. How do we figure out how to fix her?
Sophia: We ask James and Erica.
Clone: Oh okay. *smiles* asking is good. Asking is nice. And safe.
Sophia: For us, yes. Not so much for them.
Clone: I'm not sure i follow you..?
Zanida: I love interogations.
Sophia: Zanida understands.
Clone: Are you...going to hurt them? They seemed nice...Erica cheered me up when James scared me..
(btw J and E are in Paris. Just so ya know..)
Zanida: *grins* I take one you take the other?
Clone: *looks at Zanida*
You won't...kill them, will you?
((Oh msd for food.-Zaf
(Kk)
Sophia: That is a deal, Zanida.
Unfortunately, killing them will be necessary.
Zanida: No, I only kill in situations where I need to. We have honor, and pride in our fighting skills. You forget, I come from Asgard, I also am queen of Asgard, but I prefer to follow the path of a warrior. Not many women do take on the challenge.
Clone: Why? Why is killing them necessary?
Omg people. Me and my friend won the minionare quiz so we now have 2 spare tickets available for anyone who can make it? XXDDD
Clone: *turns to Zan* you won't let Sophia kill them will you? They're happy together...maybe they'll change..
(OMG well done Lucian! *huggles* see! You deserve it!)
Sophia: I already shot Erica. Quite a few times. And still they keep plotting. And they won't stop before they get what they want.
Yes omg yes. Thanks Silente XDD I wish I could take all of you :D
Does anyone have stars number? She's away, right?
Clone: They might. If you talk to them..as opposed to shooting them...
(Stars in Spain. I don't have her number sorry :( )
(Lucian - yes, she is on holiday.)
Talking can only get you so far. You are blind if you think violence is never necessary.
(Silente - she is in Italy.)
Leave me your email, I'll email Star.-Zaf
Clone: I never said it isn't necessary, just that it shouldn't be your first response.
(Italy not Spain sorry wrong place!)
(I missed Em...)
So I guess none of you peeps can make it to the ball? :/
Dragona: I have the email I just wanted a faster way to contact her is all. But thanks
Sophia: Personally, I would rather shoot first. I don't want to get mind-fucked by Erica.
(@Lucian I wish i could but I don't have the money D: )
Clone: Shooting first isn't the right way. You should always talk first..just keep your distance..
Hey, Rose. *hugs tightly*
(Hey Rose. How are you?)
Can I have a cuddle? I had to be in a car with my author driving.
Sophia: Talking first gives your enemies chance to shoot. Shooting first stops your enemies talking.
Damn. This is why I need to be richer.. Well I really hope I can sort it all out :/
*She hugged him back as tightly as she could*
Hey, Loki!
(I'm in a Hell load of pain, tired, and sick, but otherwise I'm okay... How about you?)
I'm still here Rose.
Just been watching.
I am glad you are awake. *kisses her gently on the lips* Did you sleep well?
(Rose, if it is your ribs hurting, you could try buying some bandages and wrapping them around your ribs. It is supposed to help. Keeps them like straight.)
(EMMY!!
*Cuddles*
Ily!)
I'm glad I'm awake too, yeah, I had possibly the worst nightmare I've ever had...
(Tired. Wondering how much sleep imma get tonight.)
Clone: that seems like a rather violent way to live life...
They like to haunt us, but you know I am with you now.
Sophia: Part of my job is to take down those who threaten galactic peace. Pirates, slavers and the like.
My ship once got attacked by pirates. *smiles* Idiots.
(Yeah, Dragona, I've done that... Still hurts...)
Loki...?
*She pursed her lips and looked up at him*
Have I ever told you that you're cute...?
Clone: Pirates?
(btw your sensors can find them any time)
You have, just now.
Sophia: Yes, pirates. They sent a false distress call. They claimed to be in trouble. My ship docked with theirs, and then they marched in with rifles.
They didn't get very far. I ripped their leader apart at a molecular. At which point the pirates ran away. Well, most of them did. There was a Krogan who tried to charge at me. He took two shots to the face before he even got close. Tough son of a bitch.
There aren't many people who have gone toe-to-toe with a Krogan and survived. He had biotics like me. We eventually got fed up with hitting each other so threw one another around instead. Eventually, as the pirates fled, I threw him out of the airlock.
Then I destroyed the pirate vessel.
(And for the record: I will sleep soon. The scanner can find them tomorrow.)
*She groaned and hit his arm*
I don't do technicalities... Ugh. I can't believe you seriously just said that. Why did you say that? You shouldn't have. Bad. No. Nevermind.
Clone: That..oh. Poor Krogan...
*laughs and kisses her* Better?
Sophia: *laughs* Seriously? As soon as they invented a nuke, they turned their planet into radioactive rubble. If you want to be a politician, you simply crush anyone else who has an opinion. They are violent and cruel. But tough, very tough.
*She rolled her eyes8
Not really. That was barely a kiss. That was like a fly landing on you. How is that better?
Clone: Zanida? Why did you come looking for Silente?
**
Clone: That's them as a species. Humans as a species are destroying and over populating their planet. That doesn't mean each individual human is bad. Vampires as a whole attack, kill and maim loads but that doesn't mean an individual vampire is violent when they aren't hungry..
Sophia: Put it this way - No matter where you go or who you're fighting, there will always be a Krogan in the middle of it all. Hell, most consider death fun.
Clone: Oh. Okay then..
So will Sil be fixed? I mean, without having to shoot them..
Sophia: She will be fixed. Without shooting them? No promises.
Clone: Okay. At least she'll be fixed. That's good..
..and hopefully she'll wake up...
Sophia: It doesn't matter to me either way.
Clone: It doesn't matter if she doesn't wake up?
Sophia: No. She causes more problems than anything else. It doesn't mean I won't try to save her - I just won't be sad if it doesn't work.
You know Leri, right?
Clone: Leri? Yeah. Sil promised that Leri wouldn't have to see her again.
Sophia: You seem like the type of person who she would get along with.
Clone: I do? Oh..where is she?
Sophia: You seem to dislike violence. It would give you more of a chance to get along with her than someone like me. I'm... more of a realist.
I think I saw her in the clearing.
Clone: Okay then..I'll go meet her! Thanks!
*smiles and skips to the clearing*
*looking around for Leri*
*sat underneath her tree*
Clone: *spots Leri and a smile lights up her face*
*walks over*
Hey!
*stands up and takes a step away*
... Silente?
*She was standin by the fire, letting its warmth deep into the backs of her legs. She smiled at Roland, happy that he couldn't see her face as her eyes raked over him. She liked his face as the fire danced across it*
Have I ever told you that you're a hero? Because you are. You're my hero.
Clone: No...didn't you hear the news...oh...I uh, I'm Silone...Silente is....she's moved on...
Silone... The clone? ... Are you alright?
Clone: I'm fine! Sorry you had to hear the news from me..she uh...she passed away last night...sorry. But I came to say hey..
... No... What happened? ... The last conversation we had was me not wanting to be her friend... No... No... *sobs*
*Roland smiled as he stretched his arms. He became so stiff and uncomfortable so quickly it concerned him slightly but he never showed it.*
Roland: That is funny because you became my saviour.
Clon: Hey...*kneels next to Leri and hugs her* its okay...hey its fine...shhhhhh..
*hugs the clone back* ... I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have argued with her... I feel terrible... *cries*
*She smiled at him, turning her face a little so the light of the fire caught it. Then she straightened up and sat beside him, resting against hide side*
I'm your saviour...? But you're the one who saved my life... I haven't saved you...
Clone: Hey now..its okay..she probably knew you didn't mean it...its okay...
(*smiles at RoseTC's words* Oh. You're lucky you haven't had cause to...offers have been given...lucky they were denied.)
(Remember the email I sent you, Tet? Anytime. Well, not now, but any other time!)
... I don't know... She could have thought I did... I... I'm losing friends fast... Elleni slapped me, Silente's dead... But... The people who I don't expect to help me... Hunter, Alastair... You... You're the ones that treat me the nicest... I don't understand...
(Oh I wasn't talking bout you life...*looks at Roland*)
*He took her hand and held it tight before putting it to his cheek before looking straight at her.*
Roland: But you did save me. You have given me more than anyone could in my life time. You taught me how to love.
Clone: Elleni slapped you? She probably didn't mean it..
... She got a phone call... Something was wrong... So I listened in... Wanting to help... It was Erica... Then Elleni slapped me... And shouted at me... So I ran away... I tracked Erica's location and called Sophia...
... How did Silente die?
Clone: ...quickly. And reasonably painlessly...
(Tetris?!)
*She grinned at him and kissed his other cheek. She rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes soft*
I didn't teach you nothing. It was you who taught yourself. I may have helped in the unlocking of this knowledge, but you did it all yourself, love.
*She laughed softly to herself*
I... I think I love you...
... Who killed her? I don't think she'd die in an accident...
(Yes Deathy? *raises an eyebrow*)
(Also Rose, a bit of advice: keep to canon RPs with Silente.)
Clone: ..*sigh* it was Sophia. El...trapped her in an air bubble and Sophia shot her..
(omg Draggie are you EVER gonna let that go?)
(You will not hurt my Roland, Tetris...)
(Why do you say that, Dragona...?)
... Sophia shot her? Why? ... Bosh'tet...
... Oh... I called Sophia... Told her where Erica was...
... I killed Silente... *breaks down, crying*
(Rose - she invited Elleni to do a non-canon RP and they ended up kissing.)
(Silente - nope, sorry. I'm going to tease you about it forever.)
(Ew... Sil...)
(Not unless the offer gets better I wont rose.)
Clone: She thought it would be easier to put her down than contain her...Leri you didn't kill Sil...Sophia did. And possibly Elleni...not you.
... Sophia was only... She was only there because of me... *cries more* ... Without me, Silente would be alive...
(I just realised how mean that sounded.
I do not have anything against homosexuality. I encourage it. I'm just aware of both of their current sexual orientations, or at least what I perceive is their current sexual orientations, and find that a little strange.)
(Okay Death to clarify, origonally we were just gonna fight, as an example of an rp for Lucian. But then Lucian asked why there were always violent and asked if it could be romantic instead and my sleep deprived mind just went 'what the hell!')
Clone: Oh Leri no...Sophia probably would've got there anyway...its not your fault..
... I gave her the coordinates...
Clone: Coordinates she may have already had.
*He put his arm around her shoulder and let out a small chuckle and a sigh.*
Roland: I do not think. I know. I know that I love you.
(I have to go now. Night!)
(bye Draggie! I might be following him soon...so if I suddenly disappear, I Iz asleeeeeep.)
(or bored)
*She beamed up at him, her face deepening in colour. She held onto his arm while she clambered onto his lap, so he was hugging her to his chest. Ten she wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest*
You're perfect... It's not fair on any of us... But, I guess, I get the perfection to myself...
*She giggled and kissed his shirt*
(Night Dragona!)
(Kk, Sil.)
*Roland smiled and then tensed up as she started kissing his shirt.
Inside he was swearing to himself. This was a woman that he loved immensely but yet if she does anything but a kiss to his lips, he becomes awkward.
He tried his best to relax but he could not. He was so tense.*
*She looked up at him, frowning slightly. Then she stopped and turned her face away so she was looking into the fire, hiding her face from him*
Sorry...
*Roland looked sad looking at her. He put his hands on her arms.*
Roland: No, no, no. Do not apologize. You are not doing anything wrong dear. It is unfortunately me. I just can not seem to just go with it.
I know I am doing wrong but please believe me that you are not doing anything that should not be done.
*She didn't turn back to him, she just kept staring at the fire. She stiffened when his hands touched her arms*
I'm the one who does it... It's my fault... I shouldn't... I'll stop... I'm sorry...
*Her head dropped slightly and she rubbed her shoulders against her eyes, wiping away the tears that were threatening to fall*
*Roland lifted her head and kissed her gently on both cheeks. Not wanting to see her cry.*
Roland: You do nothing wrong. You do it because you love me. And I should do it because I love you.
Do not ever stop. Please.
*She shook her head and climbed off his lap and towards the far side of the sofa. She pulled her legs to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. Her lips were pursed in that way she did when she was trying to hold back a sob*
I'm sorry... I'm going to stop. I'm sorry...
*Roland watched her move away and instantly went through his mind. How to make the situation he caused better.
He suddenly rushed to her and grabbed her face, kissing her intensely. More than he has ever before, he would always kiss her nice and slowly.*
*Her eyes widened in shock and she fought him for a moment. Then she returned the kiss, her hands drifted around the back of his neck, playing with his hair*
*He kissed her more as he let her hands play with his hair. He was concentrating on kissing her that he didn't even flinch when she touched him.
Next thing he knew, his hands were moving down and rested on her hips.*
*She kissed him roughly and let out a little gasp as his hands found her hips. She moved her lips from his to kiss along his jaw, towards his ear*
Do you know what you're doing...?
*She giggled and moved her lips back to his, kissing him hard*
*He let out a small, uncontrollable moan as she kissed along his jaw. He looked at her and just shook his head as her lips found his again.*
*nervous laugher*
This'll be fun.
Fun. Fun. Fun
Fun......
Me either...
*She laughed and held his face tightly to hers. Her hands knotted themselves in his hair and she tugged lightly on it. The hands on her hips made her tremble.
Her kisses changed. They became fiery and harsh, attacking Roland's lips rather than kissing him. She moaned softly and shivered against him*

(Hi/bye Phoe!)
(Hey Rave!)
How are you Rose?
(I'm okay.... I guess...
You?)
I'm sick, but I'm fine.
(Owies...)
Sorry, I have to go.
Bye.
(Okay, bye Raven!)
(Goodnight, Em!)
(Gotta go...)
Hi fab.
Hey Snow.
Christ, that trailer would have taken forever to make.
Yeah...
It'd be cool to try to replicate it, but I don't have even half the time.
Hi Raven!
Hey Fabi. What's up?
The opposite of down. :-)
Right you are. Let me rephrase...how are things?
ZATH!!
Hey Rose.
We all have different theories on how things are, how they came to exist, but I don't want to offend anyone's religion by going into detail on what I believe in. :-)
Hi Deathy! [hugs]
How are you then Fabi?
Hello? Are you still here...
Yes, sorry. I was trying to come up with a way around that one, too.
Oh, okay then.
How are you?
I'm fine. Sick, but fine.
Do I assume that you don't want to say how you are faring?
Who would I be to tell you what to assume?
(If you really must know, I'm feeling quite contrary)
(I do hope you feel better soon.
Quite honestly, I hope I get better too, I don't usually get sick, so it's sucky.
You are very good at evading questions you know? If you ever need to list your talents, be sure to put question evasion on the list.
I get sick a lot. -_-
Did I know? That's an interesting question. [Ponders] I can't rightly say.
(Why thank you.)
