*goes and undresses behind a tree*
*emerges as a wolf*
*starts sniffing the direction of the biker thugs*
*picks up Inkys clothes for her and follows her*
Where are they Inks? *a strong tone of conviction in my voice*
*mentally connects with Taw and says* I'm coming love.
*yips a thankyou to Ed*
*Ends up at the place Taw is being kept*
Tawnee: G gar...
...
Remember, don't just kill them
(*hugs Death tightly*)
(Hello Death)
Deathy! *hugs Rose* :)
*Kicks the door through*
(Hello Rose)
Arachne: *sees Gar* so you have coms
*places Inkys clothes behind tree*
Gar, don't kill them. Revenge
*Hugs Chloe and Tia*
Hey everyone...
(How are you know?)
How are you, Rose?
I've been better... You?
(I'm going to sleep now, night everyone)
(I am sleepy by the way)
(good night Inks)
Bye inky
Gtg as well. Bye
(bye ed)
(Good night Chloe and Ed!)
(I don't know. Cold, I guess. Not just outside. I feel cold inside, if that makes sense.)
*Cuddles Tia*
Sorry... Are you okay?
(Class starts soon...)
*Appears in a swirl of shadows*
Hullo, what'd I miss?
Blakey!!
*She leaps onto him and cuddles him tight*
*Falls backwards as Rose jumps on him*
Whoa! Hey Rose... *Cuddles her back*
*She laughs and nuzzles his chest*
Hey Blake...
*He sits up, hugging her*
What's up? Are we the only two around?
(Rose, you have nothing to be sorry for. *hugs her, trying to warm up, without stealing her warmth*
Hey, Blake! How are you?)
Well that answers that question. Hey Tia.
*She points to Tia and then curls into Blake's chest*
(*Cuddles Tia back happiy*
Warm...)
(I feel like I'm stealing your warmth.
No?
*cuddles are nice*)
(Class starts now... Bye...)
Damn fucking right I read back. -Zaf
(Distant Blake is distant...)
Good for you Adra. I've been taking Zumba classes and it helps me out, I do it to keep healthy.-Zaf
Okay, if serious conversation is going to start up again, then I'll just take my leave.
(Good bye, Rose!
Hello Adra and Zaf!
Well, I still trust you, Zaf. Though I shouldn't have started that conversation.)
(No need to leave, Adra. I'll stop.)
What the hell is it anyone's business what I do or don't do? Am I being judged for my life? You know, I hate life. I do. I'm always looked down upon.-Zaf
Hey, El!
I don't know, Zaf. I'm not judging you. *hugs Zaf*
Haha! No, I don't. I'm not above anyone, I'm not stupid. Apparently I'm untrustworthy according to Star, how nice. Oh, and I pissed Em off, when don't I piss her off? *shrugs*
-Zaf
I almost was in a wreck today, some moron was coming down my side of the road and nearly hit me, if I hadn't swerved fast enough I'd possibly died, oh but that's right, I'm untrustworthy! I almost forgot!! Wouldn't be a fucking loss if the car had hit me!!!
-Zaf
I'm just going to pop in one last time this evening.
Zaf, people don't look down upon you. But they don't respect you because you curse and you shout, and everytime you get pissy or you don't get your way, you threaten to kill yourself. Being depressed and having been suicidal in the past, it's really quite insulting when you go to such a length simply because, say, a character dies.
A character.
Words on a screen.
Something that doesn't even exist, or wouldn't even affect you if you lived one block down the street.
Because you were bullied to a certain extent (to be honest, I don't know how much of this abuse has actually happened, just that your mind has constantly projected an image of your parents to be some devilish beings whose only purpose is to hurt you, ergo, I can't tell if some stories are stretched or not; regardless, it's still an issue that you think this way).
Anyway, but you are bullied by your parents, and so you take it out on us.
Plain and simple.
And for that, you can not expect everyone to have healthy respect for you if you don't have a healthy respect for yourself, or for others, for that matter.
...
You've hurt so many people, and you've hurt yourself, too. You're like the creation of a universe- you started with a huge explosion outward, and now you end with an implosion, a collapse inward, and it is hurting you, and to be honest, its stupid, and you need to get a grip.
That's all I have to say on that matter.
What the fuck is the point of crying over spilled milk? What? Whatever I have done is in the PAST ok? Grow up, if you have nothing else better to do then gossip about shit that happened before half of you lot joined, that's sad.
-Zaf
*hugs Adra, Zaf and Elleni*
*shakes head* All of you need to butt out of my life. You don't like me, I get it. I hate my life.
-Zaf
^^ Good point
If you don't want us in your business, Zaf, then don't talk about your outside life. Simple as that.
I don't even want to discuss half of what happened the past two, almost three weeks. *sighs* I really need to get a grip on my life, I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to, yes at once I did....unfortunatly Adra was a victim, but I want to possibly work some form of an aquiantanceship with her. -Zaf
I do..._Zaf
Yes, that would be really, really, great...
...
I don't think I want to be here anymore tonight. Goodnight.
Good night, Adra.-Zaf
*Floats lazily through Blogland, for some reason he appears to be able to defy gravity now. Imagine that*
*J gets his crap together and types normally*
*Blake falls to the ground, suddenly unable to float any more*
Hey guys... Ow...
Dare I ask what happened, Blake?
My author is feeling weird. He does strange things when he feels weird.
*Scratches the back of his head, where he happened to land*
So, what's up?
*Glances at Blake and sits by him, frowning*
I thought you had my power for a sec... Oh, I have to tell you something. Well, more show you... Do you trust me?
*Waves at Loki*
Hey Xan.
*Waves*
Of course I trust you, why wouldn't I? What is it?
*Waves offhandedly at Xan* Hey.
Hey, Rose.
*Closes her eyes and concentrates, taking Blake's hand. After a moment, they appear a few feet away, looking at the place where he landed*
I did it!!
You can teleport, Rose?
Hey Loki! Did you see it!?
*Blinks*
You teleported. Where'd you learn to do that?
I did, congratulations. *smiles* You have magic I see. How? I know enough of Midgardian magic to know that teleporting is a form of...Adept magic.
Remember when Blake gave me his energy? He said I might get some of his powers? I did! I can! Did you see it!
I did. I did. I can train you now, you have a skill I have and Frigga has, but it will help me teach you. I was explained exactly what Midgardian magic that is.
*Leaps into Loki's arms and rests her head on his chest*
((Hello! I will not be here for long. I should be asleep. I have just sneezed uncontrollably about twenty times, I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat and as I'm blowing my nose, I realise that the being wet and cold these past few days has made me ill.
And how are you, Rose, Zaf and Blake?))
Well done, love. *holds her close*
(Hey, Xan! How are you?)
Hmm... I wonder what else will come of this...
*He stands suddenly, deep in thought*
Rose. This may sound a little rude but I'd like to preform some experiments on you. Nothing at all dangerous, just some tests to probe your magical potential, possible abilities, and an estimated maximum power output. If you don't want to that's fine, I'm just curious...
(Sick and tired.
Restless.)
Not without me present, Blake.
(Class...)
Yeah, sure Blake.
(Not here.)
((Alright, Rose.))
Of course not, Loki. Any time you're ready, I've got a place with all the necessary instruments. Unfortunately I can't have its location being disclosed, so I'd have to blindfold you two or something for a few minuets...
*nods to* Very well. I have not a quarrel with any Midgardians, or angels.
Zanida: You won't test Loki or I...?
I always have been curious about you, sister. An internal flame, yet her heart is made of ice and she can form ice.
Well, Zanida, if you'd like I suppose it wouldn't be too hard... it's not like the tests are overly complex or anything.
((*dies*-Zaf))
Go on.
Zanida: *nods* I'm a Frost Giant...remember that.
(*Slow clap for the ded* - J)
Alright, hold on a moment.
*Shadows cover their eyes as Blake places a hand on the Asguardians and they sink into the shadows. After resurfacing and walking a bit, Blake leading them, the darkness lifts and they stand in a small round room, dusty old bookshelves covering the walls and a large, faded magic circle in the center. It's lit dimly be eerie black-flamed candles*
Home sweet home.
Hello?
(Hey Amy.)
Hi Blake! How are you?
(Eh, been better, been worse. I'm going to pull a Soph and stick with average.)
Okay. So, what's been going on around here?
What is this?
Hello Loki! How are you?
This, Loki, is the only useful thing my father ever left me. Laboratory, library, ritual site, just about anything your typical god-possessed necromancer could need. Now then, you both want this, or just Zanida?
(I get the feeling Rose poofed.)
My sister, not me. I am not the freak of nature.
Zanida: Yes, my blood is fire but my heart is ice.
((I'll explain- Zan's blood is basicaly flames but her heart is encased in ice not melting, her Asgardian ability is fire but she has the Jotun ability of ice, Loki is a Jotun but cannot summon ice like his sister.-Zaf
((Rose did say class and then her last comment said not here.-Zaf
Well, take a seat.
*A chair forms from shadows in the center of the circle. Blake walks to one of the shelves, rummaging around and pulling out a tray of strange looking instruments*
Only promise I'm gonna give you is that none of this is going to hurt physically, it could have short term mental affects but nothing you won't pull through in a week or two.
(Nothing much Amy, Blake wanted to run some tests on Rose since she's developing some of Creede (angel Blake's) abilities. Now she poofed and Zanida wants a test.)
Ah...okay.
Zanida: *nods, glancing at her brother as she sits*
You're a warrior, you will survive.
*He places small stones on Zanida, mainly at her joints. Each one begins to glow as it comes into contact with her skin*
I suppose you could equate these to valve switches. I'm going off the assumption that due to our similar anatomy humans and Asguardians have the same points of magic concentration. By placing these over said points I'll be able to mess a bit with the rate at which magic flows through you and estimate the max output you can handle. You'll feel euphoric, elated, and empowered. Try not to squirm.
*He places his hands over two of the stones, larger than the others, placed on her head and the small of her back. With a bit of effort, the stones begin to glow brighter and brighter*
Zanida: Alright....I'll keep still.
She and I are Frost Giants, I know not if we will be similar. Remember, Zanids has the Aether in her.
Zanida: *can feel her hands shake slightly, like they do after training, and after a few moments she controls it, used to keeping her emotions down*
*He removes his hands, a small smile playing on his lips*
Impressive. Your surface output is easily above average, but subconsciously you've got power comparable to mine including Erebus at his current level on the verge of breaking seal number two. Maybe even higher. I would like to give credit to the Aether for that but I'm not sure... How about something on the fact that you've got both fire and ice abilities next?
Zanida: Alright. I always have been powerful, even when I lost my true name I was, granted Loki and I went back and fixed that, but now I'm at normal Asgardian level.
I know not why she summons ice, while I cannot.
*He removes the stones, placing them gently back onto the tray. After they're all back in place he takes what seem to be a regular pair of round-frame glasses, save the fact that the lenses have an otherworldly sense of depth to them*
Hope you don't mind a man staring at you. *He chuckles, sufficiently amused with himself*
*Putting the glasses on, Blake takes a seat opposite Zanida and begins to scan her up and down*
Zanida: *smirks* I've been stared at, but this is a new experience indeed.
*His face scrunches up, an expression both confused and interested*
This is... hard to describe. As you said, her blood is like fire. But when it reaches her heart it just seems to snap freeze. The entire organ is like a chunk of ice. Additionally, the Aether is situated close by your heart. Hard to miss a pulsing mass of power like tha-
*He suddenly snaps, as though he's figured something out*
Did her ice powers appear before or after the Aether made its self at home in her?
Both: Before.
Zanida: When I learned of my parentage.
A few years ago, but she had it before that, we just never knew.
((Sorry Blake, I'm gonna sleep school is corcing all juniors to take the PSAT.-Zaf
Ah, well I was going to suggest that the Aether was having an effect on her body, tearing it between Asguardian and Jotun. If you've always had it, the simple act of learning about your heritage would be more than enough to trigger a subconscious reaction awakening your inherited powers. As far as the clash between the two...
*He twists one of the lenses, focusing in on her heart*
I don't know how to put this lightly... they're not getting along. No matter how much your body may be trying, they're literally fire and ice. Sooner or later that's going to cause a large reaction, and if my guess is any to go by it won't be pretty.
*He removes the glasses, sitting back with a hand to his chin seemingly deep in thought*
I'd like to tell you exactly how it happened and how to deal with it, but taking the readings is all I can really do at this point.
(Mine too, lucky me happens to be a senior. G'night. - J)
*sigh*
(Hello....?)
*sits down by Amy, chewing on a piece of gum*
Strange how rare the simplest things are here in Blogland, want a piece?
*He holds out the package to her, original bubble-gum flavored*
(*Cuddles Rose* ^w^)
(*Cuddles Blakey*)
Yes, please...
*takes a piece of gum*
Hello Death.
(*Cough*randomamazingsongthatI'veknownaboutforquitesometimebutneverthoughttosharewithanyoneandthishereremixisfreakingamazing*cough*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvaIgq5j2Q8)
Hey Ameh. And please, call me Rose.
*Waves*
*Holds out the gum to Rose*
Join us?
(I've listened to that before...)
Hello Rose. How are you?
*Takes a piece and leans heavily against Blake*
Thank you... And sure.
(J, with his incredibly diverse taste in music, can go from listening to that to Nickleback in a matter of minuets. Strange fellow.)
I'm okay, Ameh. How are you?
*twirls piece of gum with fingers*
*eventually opens it and pops it into my mouth*
*chews*
I'm fine, thanks.
*Puts an arm around Rose's shoulders*
So, what shall the three of us do in the vast world of Blogland?
(Nickelback!! <3)
(Sitting here listening to Next Go Round. Keep that one away from kids. - J)
*She leaned into Blake's side and shrugged*
I dunno... You have anything fun you have planned to do?
*shrugs*
*blows a bubble*
(I listened to Animals the other day...
Oh... God... That destroyed my whole childhood.)
We all know what I do for fun, and honestly I'm not feeling it right now. Some relaxation is nice...
*Rests his head on her, letting out a sigh*
*She smiled and wrapped both arms around his chest, smiling softly*
Relaxation...? I can give you cuddles...? Will that help...?
*lays back on grass and stares at clouds*
Eh, maybe I'll just take a nap... We always get a little exiting when we cuddle...
*He lays back, pulling Rose down with him*
Amy doesn't cuddle much... party pooper.
...*stares at them*
*She rested her head on his arm and smiled at him*
Party pooper... Cuddles are nice!
I'm not a party pooper! D:
;-;
*Stares back at Amy*
Meh, I'm tired anyways... Sleepy Blake is sleepy...
*His eyelids droop and his breathing becomes deep*
Then why don't you cuddle?
*She nestled closer to Blake and watched his face, before she reached up to trace his nose with her fingertips*
*cuddles Blake and Rose* Cuddles...
*She cuddled Amy tightly with one arm*
*Wiggles his nose, feeling ticklish*
Because naps....
*Sleepily cuddles Rose and Amy*
I just never have people to cuddle...
*cuddles them*
*absolutely loves the song 'Angel With A Shotgun'*
Hey guys.
Dugglyn!!!
*cuddles her too*
Amy!!! :D :D :D
*cuddles her*
Hey! How ya doin?! How be's yous eyes?!
*She chuckled and tapped his nose lightly. Then she crawled onto Blake's chest*
I'm fine. My eyes are okay too. :)
(Rose I read that as into his chest.... )
Yay! :)))
(Lol)
*-onto Blake's chest and settled happily*
What about you, Dugglyn? And your eyes?
Brb, I'm gonna Gove the dying of the light to Fain for her birthday! (Which was a while ago but it didn't come till today!)
I'm going to have to go now. Good night!
(Goodnight, Amy)
(G'night Amy.)
*Closes his eyes and lays back, happily drifting into a light sleep*
*She smiled down at Blake and started to trace his features*
You have a nice nose...
*Mutters softly*
Odd feature to point out...
I don't like my nose... You have a nice nose...
*She smiled and lay her head on his chest, closing her eyes*
*Puts an arm around her and falls ever deeper into sleep*
(Gotta go now, see you tomorrow.)
*She smiled softly and fell asleep, her head on his chest*
Night....
(Lunch over...)
Goodbye everyone.
Good bye, Ms. Carzainia.
Hey Sir! I didn't know anyone was here! I was just saying goodbye to everyone because everyone left!
How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes!?
I just took a fashion IQ quiz. This is my result.
You have no style IQ at all.
XD
...
Quite.
Given the fact that IQ is a, at best, tenuous method of measuring a person's intelligence in a traditional sense, I would be fairly disturbed if any one person had a "fashion" IQ.
It's amusing me. A fashion IQ? XD
And apparently 'I could be a hottie'
XD *laughs uncontrollably*
These tests!
...
Most droll, Ms. Carzainia.
And I'm not fashionable. Well duh! :P
If you insist, Ms. Carzainia. I, at least, have not had the opportunity to judge your senses when it comes to selecting an appropriate and aesthetically pleasing outfit.
Eh. Fashion, I could care less!! Just comfort!
Jeans, a t shirt and a sweat shirt. Maybe a Jean jacket.
This is really quite amusing.
Of course, Ms. Carzainia. I take a different approach, but yours is equally valid.
Hmm. What is your approach?
It was made of marshmallows. (Not blue ones)
Hey El!!!!!!
*huggles*
Or is everyone would just stop fighting!
)(
Taking time to select my wardrobe beforehand, Ms. Carzainia.
If people could admit when they are wrong, Ms. Jazzlyn.
It was, and continues to be, nothing, Ms. Jazzlyn.
Tired, Ms. Jazzlyn. Thank you for asking.
How do you fare?
Well the other option is if everyone stopped fighting. I mean really. All the wars and ISIS. If the whole world teamed up to help with ISIS and Ebola we would be closer to solving things but no. USA is doing air strikes. Turkey is attacking everything that crosses their border, not helping Syria at all. And the whole Russia Ukraine thing? It didn't have to be war!
Hello. No El I will not sleep. Yes dug my eyes are fine. It's a pleasure to see you Sir.
It is a pleasure to see you as well, Ms. Tempest.
Hmm. Fighting for freedom. But ISIS? And Ebola? If the world would team up...
Idk. I guess they are helping but it could be more. Nothing's really happening. But the Russia Ukraine thing isn't exactly about freedom. It was who they should have closer ties to and then there was an election and then BOOM! War!
Idk.
...
Ok then Sil!
What a boot yous ears?! :P
I hope you and your authors are well, and if jot that they will be soon.
Author, Ms. Tempest, but the sentiment is appreciated.
I was referring to everyone Sir, forgive me for any misunderstandings
“Why do girls always feel like they have to apologize for giving an opinion or taking up space in the world? Have you ever noticed that?" "You go on websites and some girl leaves a post and if it's longer than three sentences or she's expressing her thoughts about some topic, she usually ends with, 'Sorry for the rant' or 'That may be dumb, but that's what I think.”
This can be true. It made me think.
Just random but eh...!
Yep yep! Good good!
Brown is the best hair color for you
Brown is the best hair color for you. You seem to be a very calm, collected and wise person. You tend to play it safe in your life and you wouldn't like to go out of your comfort zone. A nice shade of Burgundy brown will be a great hair color for you because it will match your sober and understated personality.
Sober personality?! Wha?!
Girls feel the need to apologize for wasting others time as it were, or possibly just because they are embarressed to have shared their views and worry they are no good.
No actually it was from a book! I haven't really been watching much TV. I've been here! :))
Gtg, sheep!
Night everyone! You're all amazing!
Indeed it is Elleni
*taps brain*
(why are you being posh? - j)
Terribly sorry
Good night, Ms. Carzainia.
Hello. I'm kind of here.
Greetings, Ms. Temerity.
