Claire: I'm sure. *smiles* You'd have to be pretty messed up to want to hurt a nine year old, wouldn't you? And if that fails... *fastens her hair into a pony tail, and starts to cry* ... I've lost my mummy and daddy! *sobs*
Claire: *continues to sob* ... They said they'd only be five minutes... I... I'm scared... *looks up and smiles* And that's when they'd get a throwing knife in the chest.
Claire: If you see someone who doesn't speak and is wearing a scary mask-helmet-thing just call me, alright? That's Steve. He's a softy really. Somewhere. Deep down. But hey.
Claire: No problem! *shrugs off her backpack, taking out a bear trap* *sets it on the floor, priming it* *stands on it* *looks away and her eyes glow white, so the trap doesn't fully close around her leg when it snaps* *pulls her leg out* See?
Claire: The glitter dispenser is broken on this one. And if it closed the entire way it would hurt, wouldn't it? It's designed not to hurt. Perfectly safe. *smiles*
Claire: So I will set the traps for Steve so when he comes he'll have a nice surprise! And if it goes wrong, he won't mind. He's always in pain anyway. I feel sorry for him. That's why I want to give him a nice surprise!
Claire: I'm not entirely sure. Might be all the weapons he has grafted to his skin. That's why he wears the mask-helmet-thing, because it gives him pain killers - not that they do much.
Yup! Tomorrow. I'll be around a bit today by 7am your time, but I am sorry for having you wake up and not be able to...what happened was unexpected I was text as I left the school so yeah....msd for shower time.-Zaf
I have a fezz in my room and it has a white half mask on it. It's been there for ages and my brother keeps asking me why its got the mask on it.
Just then he picked up the fezz and asked why it was so heavey. He shook it and a fake pumpkin came out. My words exactly were: "do you know how long it took to position that mask so the pumpkin would stay in?!"
And he just looked at me for a bit and said "was the mask there to keep the pumpkin in?"
And I just kinda... got up and walked away.
And now my brother has said that
"Why is there a mask on that fezz" "To keep the pumpkin in"
When I was a young girl, my father took me down a boulevard of broken dreams, to see a marching band. He said “Miss Jackson, haven’t you ever heard of closing the goddamn door?” so I said “Thanks for the memories, even though they weren’t so great,” and painted a picture of a perfect place, where I had it better than what anyone had told me, and it was full of the things I lost in the fire, fire, fire.
Oh! Thank you for reminding me about the t-shirts! I loved the design, but due to my financial peril right now I can't order one immediately. I think they look fabulous, however.
I've always been fond of the name 'Claire.' I have a document where I write down names I'm fond of, in case I'm struggling with naming a character. This rarely happens, but it's still wise to have a name list.
@Soph she utterly loathes her. LOATHING! UNADULTERATED LOATHING! FOR YOUR HAIR YOUR VOICE YOUR CLOTHING! LET'S JUST SAY, I LOATH IT ALL! EVERY LITTLE TRAIT HOWEVER SMALL MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEHIN TO CRAWL WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING! THERES A STRANGE EXHILARATION! IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION! ITS SO PURE SO STRONG! THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST! STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST! AND I WILL BE LOATHING LOATHING YOU MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!
I really want to make a sweet child character who is actually a sweet child now. It's one of those stubborn moods I have. That's how Hunter came into being, really, through one of those sutbborn moods of "Everyone has characters that are like this but are really this so I want to have one that STAYS LIKE THIS dammit".
Hullo, Star! While in my stories I tend to focus on drama and angst, I always pick my characters based on the comedic value they provide. If the main character is a little girl, I try to pick character that will work comedically well with a little girl, etc. That's how I can mix humor in with my more serious writing. Or at least, that's how I manage my characters and keep them all in check.
Background characters are the best, though. One problem I've always had when writing is making a main character compelling. I'm great will villains and background characters, but main characters are tough for me. So, I decided to create main characters as if I were creating them to be background characters. Or something like that, anyway.
Ez came into being as a background character . . . Hunter would say that that was very Ez-like.
I don't really create characters. Because I don't really write. But you know, characters are people, and you get ideas and then you start creating the character and you give them a few traits and then all of a sudden there's a person there . . . C mentioned this to me so I know she gets it. Well. She actually writes, so I know that she definitely gets it . . .
(Yes - but I was a background character, who evolved into a main character. That means I was never meant to be me. Which irritates me. Also the fact I am me somewhat pisses me off. I could be better.)
My characters start out as characters, but then they become people, with thoughts and opinions independent of my own. A like to think that they're all a little part of my personality though. Like horcruxes.
@Annika: I get that. I . . . analyse a lot, and I can generally find links between my characters and myself. Studying someone's characters is possibly another way of studying people, although of course it would get very theoretical as you don't know where the links are.
@Clara: I only tend to use them when I'm struggling with a conversation lull. One could argue that there were less conversation lulls in real life. Which isn't true, but one could argue it.
Wb, Silente. :)
@Clara: :) Well, I hope it goes well. :)
*nods at Sophia and Clara* I stick with my last point - you can tell things about people from their characters, but it's hard.
I'm talking more about characters than about the way people write their characters, incidentally. You can tell, from the way people write their characters, that some people are really nice and care about other people, some people only care about other people when they can be bothered, and some people are just bastards who don't care about or value people and expect them to think the world revolves around them.
*to Star* I don't know if it's that hard to tell things about people from the characters they write. I mean, I'd like to think that I could pick out one of my Blogland friends in a real-life group of people, without knowing what they looked like.
I just mean that I don't know anything about you people apart from your writing. Literally all the contact I've had with any of you has been in the form of writing. And yet, I think I could infer enough about what kind of person you were, just from your writing, to hopefully recognize you if I met you on the street.
I'm sorry, I just realized that sounded a little bit creepy. I really didn't mean it to!

(Sil: *just plain sulks* stupid deal.)
(You agreed to it, Silente.)
(Sil: you made me!)
Claire: Not yet! We're meeting in a few hours. I'm just early because I arrived on my motorb-scooter. My motor-scooter. It's pink. *smiles*

(Sil: *mentally murderers Claire numerous times in numerous different ways not even getting to the torturous ones*)
Claire: Wander around, maybe place traps on some trees for Steve - it's fine, though, it's just a bit of fun.
Claire: Oh yes. Bear traps, and trip wires. The bear traps are so funny! If you step on one glitter sprays everywhere!
(Sil: HEY NOT GLITTER GLITTER IS MY THING DON'T TOUCH THE RUDDY GLITTER I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR THE GLITTER DO NOT PROVOKE ME WITH GLITTER!)

(Goodbye, Silente.)
Claire: So I will set the traps for Steve so when he comes he'll have a nice surprise! And if it goes wrong, he won't mind. He's always in pain anyway. I feel sorry for him. That's why I want to give him a nice surprise!

Hey Erebus
What's up??
Just chilling around, waiting for my turn on Skyrim...
Agreed. I only just started playing <3
I just got my turn.
My little brother just got off and it was agreed that it was my turn.
But my sister waltzed in and said that I had to take a break. My brother had been on for almost 12 hours straight, and I haven't touched it.
And then she said that we needed a break.
I hadn't touched the bloody controller until two seconds ago...
French :(
Lucky
Sorry network error.
Chemistry now
It's a bit of a bore sometimes but its not too bad.
Did Chi say she'd be on today?
We're doing balancing reactions and stuff right now.
I hope she gets on...
xD It's just balancing atoms in the written symbol equations.
It would. If she doesn't get grounded again she should get her stuff back Nov 15th
Ew...
Chem...
oh lord not physics *shudders*
It is ewww.-Zaf
WOO!!! Physics!!
Hey Zaf!
Physics is evil
Physics is fun!
*cuddles Rose* Hey there. Hopefully tomorrow I can let Thor and Loki have it out, I woke up to a surprise email we now have drama practice! -Zaf
*Cuddles back*
Okay. Tomorrow. That means I get a sleep in <3
Physics is the demon child of maths and science and despair watered with the tears of new born children and fed the souls of butterflies.
Yup! Tomorrow. I'll be around a bit today by 7am your time, but I am sorry for having you wake up and not be able to...what happened was unexpected I was text as I left the school so yeah....msd for shower time.-Zaf
Okay, Zaf.
Bells gonna go soon..
... trying to make #TipstaffForGrandMage trend on twitter
Anyone wanna help???
My horse on Skyrim just died.
I have a fezz in my room and it has a white half mask on it. It's been there for ages and my brother keeps asking me why its got the mask on it.
Just then he picked up the fezz and asked why it was so heavey. He shook it and a fake pumpkin came out. My words exactly were: "do you know how long it took to position that mask so the pumpkin would stay in?!"
And he just looked at me for a bit and said "was the mask there to keep the pumpkin in?"
And I just kinda... got up and walked away.
And now my brother has said that
"Why is there a mask on that fezz"
"To keep the pumpkin in"
Would be a good secret code.
I was just running up the stairs outside and something in my ankle started to hurt.
Really bad...
I can't walk on it...
*cuddles Rose*
*Cuddles Loki*
Miss me? I can tell Zanida is still with the Frost Giants.
Of course I didn't miss you. I had a ball. It's always more fun when you're not around.
*She grinned up at him and pushed her hair out of her eyes*
Did you miss me...?
I always do.
That's good, love.
*She curled into his chest and sighed happily*
I love you...
(Getting in the shower in a sec...)
((Ok...see you...tomorrow probably. I have class so....-Zaf
Hello?
Back...
Hey Erebus.
Might be going to sleep now...
Xan! *tacklehugs*
Xan, I've got to ask, are you Blake...?
Okay...
*Waves*
*Leaves cuddle for Blake and another for Loki*
*Walks over to Chi and falls asleep around one of her legs*
Rose, i wouldn't be so upset if Xan was blake. *sigh*
*looks down at her leg* Thanks.
(gtg)
*Mumbles in her sleep*
Sorry for ruining the mood, guys...
Your leg is nice, Chi...
*Crawls over toXan and hugs his leg, quickly falling asleep there*
Hey y'all :)
I'm dressing up as the Cat in the Hat for school tomorrow! :D
And I got my friend to read SP. She really likes it! :D
*poofs*
Hello, Blogland!
(I've been a small ball of anger these last few days, I hope I didn't insult you guys...)
(hello everybody
how are you all?)
(Hey, Gar! People seem to be in school/asleep)
(hello Tia,
yeah that's what it looks like
so how have you been?)
(I've been angry at myself and at others.
How are you, Garret?(
(yeah I'm good)
(i was temporarily disappeared, because of youtube)
(why have you been angry?)
(Cower in fear, Silente is here!)
*the Midnight Hotel sprouts out of the ground*
*is sitting at the desk*
*head in hands*
Hullo, Blogland.
My Driver's Ed final is today.
(Hello.)
*sighs*
*reclines in chair*
*spins lazily*
Greetings, Sophia. How goes it?
Hello Clara! I'm sure you'll do amazingly in your drivers ed finals! And if not there's always a retry or a plan B.
Thank you, Silente.
*spins*
I'm still nervous about it, though. Hopefully it'll all work out for the best.
Hey Soph!
(It goes alright. Yourself?)
(Hello, Silente. How are you?)
Hopefully.
Oh btw I got in for the A Monster Calls extra.
Well enough for all practical purposes, thank you.
(I am hungry! And so bored/tired/empty that I'm hyper!!!)
*AGOG*
*AGHAST*
Silente, that's wonderful news! Congratulations!
Gavin: *screams*
I am bored also. There's nothing I want to read, watch, play, or study. I simply can't stop thinking about my test.
BUGGER AND BLAST.
(Perhaps you will have more things to dedicate to than I do.)
Thank you Clara. Agog is a cool word!
Don't be nervous!
*would hug but the fangirls are always watching and she is in no mood for their squeals*
You'll do amazingly.
What did you think of the t-shirt design?
When I was a young girl, my father took me down a boulevard of broken dreams, to see a marching band. He said “Miss Jackson, haven’t you ever heard of closing the goddamn door?” so I said “Thanks for the memories, even though they weren’t so great,” and painted a picture of a perfect place, where I had it better than what anyone had told me, and it was full of the things I lost in the fire, fire, fire.
I dedicate to good taste in music.
*skips around merrily*
*hugs Sophia*
*skips around again*
*PUNCHES CLAIRE IN THE FACE BECAUSE BAD CLAIRE*
*skips and hums*
Oh! Thank you for reminding me about the t-shirts!
I loved the design, but due to my financial peril right now I can't order one immediately. I think they look fabulous, however.
(hear hear! I got nearly all those references which makes me quite proud!)
Oh that's fine who isn't in financial peril right now. I plan to get one with birthday money...eventually.
Yes. What little spending money I have right now I've been saving for my first-ever anime Con.
(I presume Silente is jealous of Claire?)
I've always been fond of the name 'Claire.' I have a document where I write down names I'm fond of, in case I'm struggling with naming a character. This rarely happens, but it's still wise to have a name list.
(hello soph, Clara and sil
how are you all?)
Ooooh sounds fun Clara!
@Soph she utterly loathes her.
LOATHING! UNADULTERATED LOATHING! FOR YOUR HAIR YOUR VOICE YOUR CLOTHING! LET'S JUST SAY, I LOATH IT ALL! EVERY LITTLE TRAIT HOWEVER SMALL MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEHIN TO CRAWL WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING! THERES A STRANGE EXHILARATION! IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION! ITS SO PURE SO STRONG! THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST! STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST! AND I WILL BE LOATHING LOATHING YOU MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!
(Claire is a nine year old assassin-turned-Vigilante.)
(Hello, Garrett - I am average, yourself?)
Nine-year-old assassins are the best kind of assassins.
By-the-by, happy October, everyone!
I'm doing "meh," Garrett. You?
[hisses]
I'm hyper Garr! Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Like a tiger. Like Tony the tiger! Garr you are now Tony the tiger
*looks at Siren*
*hugs*
Greetings, Siren.
(I'm good thanks,
thank you sil for the new name :)
hello siren
[stiffens]
[does not return hug]
You're welcome Tony!
[nods in greeting]
*keeps hugging Siren*
It's okay.

MY CAT JUMPED ON MY KEYBOARD.
Well put it on the floor Clara.
He keeps climbing up the left bookshelf and parkouring onto the desk like he thinks he's Jaeger-bomb-bastic.
(In Silente's mind) Please stop hugging me.
Put him in a different room.
I'm trying to. Just a moment . . .
*goes AFK*
(Cats are strange creatures)
I'm back. He's gone now, poor thing. He was mewing so sadly.
I suppose he'll just have to parkour somewhere else.
I really want to make a sweet child character who is actually a sweet child now.
It's one of those stubborn moods I have.
That's how Hunter came into being, really, through one of those sutbborn moods of "Everyone has characters that are like this but are really this so I want to have one that STAYS LIKE THIS dammit".
(hello star, how are you?)

Hang on.
*says hi to everyone*
*tells them I'm fine*
*apologises for being forgetful with my greetings*
*asks them how they are*
*acknowledges Star's greeting*
*explains that I'm fine*
*is pleased that Star is fine as well*
*offers tea*
@Annika: I get that.
I . . . analyse a lot, and I can generally find links between my characters and myself.
Studying someone's characters is possibly another way of studying people, although of course it would get very theoretical as you don't know where the links are.
*takes tea from Clara*
*smiles and says thank you :)*
(Annika - I prefer to think of it as Dragona's head being the flat and we are roommates.)
I think that you can tell a lot about a person by the characters they write.
(I disagree, partly.)
(Hello my darlings XD)
Hullo, Inky-my-Inky! How fare things in Inkyland?
(Hehe
Everything is good. I'm on the bus back from college. You?)
Very nervous about my Driver's Ed final, but otherwise, I'm doing well.
Reasons To Love Blogland:
- Everyone asks you how you're doing, which almost never happens in real life.
(*cartwheels back in*)
(You will be ace ^^ 👍)
(HeWwo Sil)
Nice entrance, Silente.
(*waves at Inky*
*flops on her*)
(I agree Anni :) people here are so nice)
@Clara: I only tend to use them when I'm struggling with a conversation lull.
One could argue that there were less conversation lulls in real life.
Which isn't true, but one could argue it.
Wb, Silente. :)
@Clara: :)
Well, I hope it goes well. :)
*nods at Sophia and Clara* I stick with my last point - you can tell things about people from their characters, but it's hard.
(Hey Sil... How are you ?
*sneaks a necklace on er*)
I'm talking more about characters than about the way people write their characters, incidentally. You can tell, from the way people write their characters, that some people are really nice and care about other people, some people only care about other people when they can be bothered, and some people are just bastards who don't care about or value people and expect them to think the world revolves around them.
(Hyper! I'm hyp-
*notices the necklace*
Don't you dare..)
Hi Inky. :)
*to Star*
I don't know if it's that hard to tell things about people from the characters they write. I mean, I'd like to think that I could pick out one of my Blogland friends in a real-life group of people, without knowing what they looked like.
(*grins and jumps back
Sit girl!)
@Clara: ?
I'm sorry, I don't understand your last paragraph. Could you please explain?
(Heya Dtar, sit wurzels to? (How are you?))
I'm good, thanks, Inky. :) How're you?
(What the fudge? Bloody autocorrect
Sit wyt ti?)
(I'm hungry but everything's good
I talked to people today!)
(*smashes face first into the ground*
Ugh....BAD FLICK!
*starts getting back up*)
(Hides up a tree*)
I just mean that I don't know anything about you people apart from your writing. Literally all the contact I've had with any of you has been in the form of writing.
And yet, I think I could infer enough about what kind of person you were, just from your writing, to hopefully recognize you if I met you on the street.
I'm sorry, I just realized that sounded a little bit creepy. I really didn't mean it to!
