(Sil: Send your Loki for me if you dare. I'll send him right back.)
(OKAY NO MORE ARGUING I WANNA TALK WITH CHI!)
CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
*tacklehugs*
*whispers* email..
(Oh for the love of-!)
(Sil: DON'T YOU DARE THEATEN CHI!)
(... Are you even more brainless than I thought..? You touch my family, and you die. You touch them, and nowhere will be safe, nobody will be able to protect you.)
(Sil: you lay a hand on her and we will hunt you like the majey mutt you are.)
I'm sorry, Rose. I shouldn't have... but you're beautiful. I want you to know that.
(Then I dare you. Come within sight of my home and I will take it as a threat to the lives of my children and my wife. Try it and see how far you get.)
(@Blake And if she kills your family?)
Chi..? Are you still here...?
*hugs sil and blake* Oh my god i love and miss you two so much! i can't wait to come back.
*glares at rose* Shut up.
(Well, Tia. That would be a very good time for everyone to run.)
THE TWINS, MY BABIES!
*runs hom and sees her children sleeping in their cribs*
oh you're both gorgeous... so much bigger now...
*hugs Chi* I can't wait till you come back either!
*tackles Rose to the ground holding a knife to her throat*
Don't. You. Dare.
(I guess not)
*wraps his arms around Rose*
Well I think you are. And I'm not wrong.
Walking like a sheep to the slaughter.
*he disappears in a flash, winding up next to Chi in the nursery*
*hugs her tightly from behind*
I'm not back yet fully Elleni. You are still allowed to live untill i am properly back.
*picks up the twins and rocks them softly back and forth*
Do not threaten them you pitiful idiotic moron of a asguardian.
Wrong about what? I'd ask you to define beauty to me, but you already define beauty to me.
((Kick her ass, Rose!))
(Hi, Xan!)
I'd rather be a midguardian that a midguardian who got too big headed for her own good and calls herself asguardian when all she is is a little girl playing dress up.
*laughs*
Look to your origins rose. You're nothing but a child playing make believe.
*sighs and kisses Chi's neck, resting his head against her*
I love you so much... There aren't words to describe it.
No, you're not. You will still die. So will Xan.
You wish.
I'm trembling.
*rolls eyes*
I love you too Blake. More than anything r anyone. Apart from the twins.
(*pokes Chi* eeeeeemaiiiiil. *hugs*)
*grabs Death's wrist*
Don't.
(Sorry, distant)
*grabs Deaths wrist again in a grip that refuses to let go*
*her voice is softer*
Don't.
Because if you do innocent and not so innocent lives will be lost. You know we have a point. Blogland bows to no one. Not you, not Loki and certainly not to me. Don't spill blood because of it.
Speaking of the twins, we need to show you something ^_^
*gently takes Lucas from her and takes a few steps back, setting him on his feet*
Walk to mommy, Lucas
Lucas: *looks back and forth between his parents, smiling*
No. Listen. I won't let you cause shit just because your ego was hurt. Get a god damn grip and let it go!
*frowns*
*not good*
*claps her hands* Come on Lucas! walk for mummy!
Lucas: *raises his arms and walks shakily over to Chi, hugging her leg and giggling*
*claps and ruffles Lucas's hair* There's my big boy!
(It's break but i'm going to the library then i have a free period after break.
~*kisses Blake*)
(Chiiiiiii emaiiiiiiil)
*nudges Deathy with her foot*
(OK OK! *rolls her eyes)
*picks Lucas up and kisses him* Good boy. Now it's Lira's turn to try and walk because my boy isn;t the only one going to get the attention.
(*grins*)
Baby i'm sorry i'm missing your birthday. I mean, it's the day i get back from the October holiday and it's a Wednesday!
*hugs chi*
I think Blake and Deathy poofed...or fell asleep...
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu *cries* I need my baby. I need my John John <3
*looks at Deathy* I replied. Twice. Why is rose not reacting?
*hugs Chi* it is basically 5:46 over there...and he got like five hours sleep...
Also because email doesn't seem to be working;
Matty is Matex..Jaimie is me, Silente. Malente.
*kisses Ch* Sorry baby, drifted off to sleep for a second...
*kisses her*
*hugs DeathyTA* LIVE!
Rose....
*sighs* Baby... go to sleep. I'm glad i saw you and talked to you and i miss you like hell. I've been listening to "marry you" on repeat.. but you need to sleep. I love you so so so much...You are the best boyfriend ever. My face and eyes light up every time i see your name. I always dream about the moment we'll meet...
*fangirls over blakone*
No way in hell.
I'm going to spend every moment I possibly can with you, I've already slept five hours tonight.
Honey you're meant to get 12. You need to sleep. *hugs him tightly*
8. Not 12.
(Hello?)
Blake, sleep. I am a god and still need sleep, you will not be functionable later, sleep. Chione will not go away, I sleep even though I miss Rose.
Hah! Like I ever got a full twelve hours of sleep anyways. You're just the best reason in the world to stay up late and get up early. I would miss days of rest if it meant I could be with you.
*cuddles her tightly*
No matter how hard you try, I'll never leave
Hello Tony.
Hello Loki. You're girl is fiesty.
Actually, because it's the holiday,i won't be at school so i won't be on till next wednesday. The 22nd.
Guys....ROSE IS TRYING TO KILL HERSELF
*kisses him passionatly on the lips* You're the best. I love you so much John. I'm sorry about this and i'm sorry for leaving. But i will never ever leave you. Not fully anyway. I'll try any way to talk to you.
AGAIN?!?! WHY?!?! ROSE DON'T BLOODY KILL YOURSELF!!!
Oh no...Rose don't do that.
ROSE I'M SORRY IF ANYTHING SIL SAID UPSET YOU IF SO YOU CAN BLOODY TORTURE HER FOR AN ETERNITY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T!!!
Thought she had a better head on her shoulders than to resort to that. It solves nothing.
Silente, there are more reasons why Rose is depressed, it's not your fault. I'm fucking depressed and want to kill myself but i don't go on about it that much. I said it a few days that a bus almost ran me over and that i should have jumped in front of it. But i have no one. I'm always depressed.
It solves the pain, John. It solves the loneliness. Being surrounded by so many people day to day and still feeling alone. It's one of the worst feelings ever. That you're invisible, if you disappear, everyone's world will keep on turning. Why bother...? why live to be invisible anyway? You're better off dead.
*hugs Chi*
Hold on. Keep holding on. For Blake. For me. For uni. For a flat shared together.
*picks Lira up* Hello my darling. *kisses her forehead*
I had saved up my past few dedications for someone really special. Someone I miss really, really bad. Someone who had only just touched Blogland, only to have him ripped away from us way too quick.
Chase.
Chase was like an older brother to me. He was always there for us, kept us updated when Em was in hospital with her bad lungs. He was always helping us pull through.
But he was torn away from us, leaving a massive hole in Blogland's heart and in all of us.
Em went through so much turmoil. She didn't seem able to pull through.
But she did. Everyone helped her through her pain. Everyone pulled together.
And I never forgave myself for what I said to her. I told her that she was riding on our sympathies and to get over Chase's death.
Since that point, I've just got lower, and lower, and lower.
But this isn't about me.
This is about Emerald Melody and Chase.
All those past pages I haven't dedicated to, to Emerald and Chase. The one true pairing of Blogland.
<3
@Blake it does...but that doesn't make it right. It seems a good idea at the time...it doesn't seem as good after...
Here here.
I told you. I will. I'm too much of a coward to kill myself anyway. I'm weak. John was the only thing that stopped me the time before, no one stopped me last time. I cut. But that's as much as i can do. I'm just waiting for someone to run me over. I probably won't get back up.
That's a stupid way to look at the world. What's more lonely than the emptiness of death? What's more invisible than someone who isn't there?
Someone who is there. Someone ignored. Someone who feels like their dead already. Someone half alive. They're invisible. The dead don't exist. They're been wiped. When the ones closest to them forget. They're gone.
*hugs Chi and refuses to let go* you aren't weak. And you aren't a coward. And you are never alone.
Shit crying.
Chi you know we love you...I know it feels like shit. Believe me, I do. I've been there too many times. Granted I've never cut but I've come close. Only reason I haven't is because if mum saw scars on my wrists she'd kill me.
And I'm sorry you feel the way you do. I would do anything to change it. To put a smile on your face. If I could I would. If it'd make you smile I'd jump off a cliff without a second thought. I love you...just remember that..
Anyway, i won't see anyone for a week, so let's pretend things are back to normal and everyone is perfectly fine.
*lira giggles and murmers*
Lira, do you want to say something?
*She gurgles, her lips moving but only sounds coming out*
It's ok Sweetie, you'll talk soon enough.
*hugs* Thanks Sil.
Existence is defined by the fact that you still perceive things, not by if others perceive you. As long as you exist, you have a purpose. You don't need to know what it is, only that there's a reason we're alive.
*hugs back* you're welcome...
Preferably don't ask me to jump off a cliff like but yeah. If it'd make you smile. *hugs*
And what is that purpose? We live to die. Why not just finish your work earlier?
Anyway... i have to go in a few minutes. John, give me your e-mail so i can contact you even when you're not on the blog. Then you don't have to stay up...
*walks into Blakones house and smiles*
*goes to the babies room*
Hey!
BlakeyGale@gmail.com
Sent you one. Go check if it worked.
What do we live for? Progression. Making things better for those who come after us. You want a real Lira and Lucas some day? What kind of world would it be if their mother didn't make it perfect for them?
Hey Lira look who's here, it's auntie Sil! *bounces her up and down*
*lira laughs and looks to Sil, wanting her to pick her up*
Looks like she wants you instead *smiles*
*laughs and picks Lira up*
*turns her so she's facing Chi and makes her wave gently*
Nah. She just wants to see what its like to be a midget giant.
(Alright, alright, you're right as always John John. I need to go now... i will speak to you when you're 18 baby, hopefully. Bye *kisses* I love you so much *hugs sil* Love you sis)
(*hugs Chi tightly* never forget we love you!)
(I love you too cutie *kisses her* I'll miss you...)
(Right! You! *points at Blake* sleep. Now.)
Rose...
<3
(back)
...
I just transformed my quotev account into a Leo Valdez rp.
Why.
Did.
I.
Do.
That.
Ah well, kt should be fun XD
(Hello Sil, Tia and snow how are you all?)
(Hello.)
Rose?
(Nope.)
(Sorry to disappoint.)
Hey, Sil.
How are you?
(too warm. You?)
(Angry.)
(why?)
(Myself.)
(I'm angry at myself, Sil.)
(Do we have anyone in Australia who can give Rose a warm, reassuring hug?)
(*hugs* don't be angry at yourself..)
(Unfortunately no..)
(Well then I'd be angry at others, and that's not unfair.)
*is unfair.
(Hello.)
(hello Soph. Min caused a fight. Bad min.)
(@tia don't be angry at anyone?)
(@Sil Is that even possible?)
Hello, Soph.
(@Tia if it isn't then be angry at me.)
(What did she do?)
(The whole queen thing. Rose and SilTC kept arguing..Rose is threatening to throw Sil in the dungeon.)
(It was a win-win situation for Minerve. She either destabilised Blogland or got someone ruling she could manipulate.)
(I noticed. Wanna continue?)
(Sure.)
*looks at Min, judging her words*
There are already two...people, who supposedly control blogland. We don't need anymore.
Minerve: No. You need to get rid of them and impose your own rule. Only you will be the leader this place needs. The people who stand in your way wish to harm your friends - it is your policy to protect them, is it not? They will be stopping you protecting your friends.
I'm not going to hurt Rose. Or Loki. Or Thor. Or Zan. Or Frigga. Or any of the other asguardians.
Minerve: You do not have to hurt anyone. There are other ways to impose authority. By ruling over this place, you will be protecting the ones you care about. Is that not a good enough reason to embrace a little darkness?
No. It's not. With you it would never be a little darkness. And with you advising me I can be sure its not the right choice to make
Minerve: I am attempting to help those who you care about. And you. I have realised how I treated you was wrong, and see protecting you and your friends a more honourable objective. I am simply giving you the tools to achieve your goals in the most effective way possible. My army will be under your command. I will be nothing more than an advisor, underneath your rule like everyone else.
Bull shit.
(@Sil everyone deserves a second chance. Even her.)
((I just looked at the sun OW))
Minerve: *a glowing white orb appears in her hand, and drifts back to Silente* You were wrong about monsters feeling love. You are also wrong about them having no goodness and not caring.
*frowns and looks extremely confused*
Minerve: I apologise for the way I have treated you, Queen.
I....er....I...what?
*looks very, very confused*
*is very, very confused*
(Just checking, Min ISN'T having a change of heart right?)
((Team Silvente woohoo ship it!))
(*facepalm* Tia we are not shipping Sil and Min.)
(@Sil Got it. Now kiss.)
Minerve: I wish to assist you. Nothing more. I wish only to be an advisor. If I was lying, why would I offer my army, or to give you power?
(Not in the slightest.)
(@Tia how bout no?)
I...
Blogland is a place with no rulers Min. No bosses. It's a place for people to go and escape their pasts. And their crimes...
(That was in reply to the change of heart.)
(Min is just toying with you. We are all toys to her.)
(You can keep us safe, Sil. Just give us rules to follow, and we will obey)
(Indeed we are.)
Minerve: There is too much violence, here. You can help to stop it. How many times have you been killed alone? You can help your friends. You can set up a leadership with the aim to protect people. Is that not good?
I've died by my own faults. And each time I've come back. Sure there's violence but without violence you never learn to defend yourself.
(@Sil I like how she's convincing you, rather than imposing her will or making a deal.)
(@Tia Min is smart. She knows what works.)
Minerve: And will you continue to rely on the actions of those who you consider friends? I am the goddess of death - with me as your advisor, I could help you. If one of your friends would be killed, rather than allowing them to die, I could stop it. I could bring them back under your loving authority. No deaths. Your friends will remain alive. Is that not something you want? To protect your friends from harm?
"Min is smart. She knows what works."
- Silente, on her relationship with Minerve
It is...but...
(Oh, they'll be begging to die once Minerve is done with them.)
(*glares at Tia* I meant she knows trying to force Sil will have the opposite effect. That offering a deal is an invitation for failure. But convincing? That could work.)
(Sadly that's probably true..)
Minerve: I only wish to help you. To make up for what I did wrong. I believe your rule would help this place - help your friends - and help you. You were willing to sacrifice so much for those you cared about - your own life. By this method: there is no sacrifice. There will be no one hurt. There will be no death, my Queen. It is the best option.
(@Sil Do you live in UK?)
Bloglandians don't react well to rulers...
(yes I do Tia.)
Minerve: Do not consider it a ruling. Consider it aiding your friends. Your authority will be one of peace and love. What does it say about those who could oppose you? They are stopping you helping people. Stopping you from helping your loved ones. Are your intentions not better than theirs?
Its not right...one person bossing others...no matter what the intentions...
Minerve: Is it not better to give orders of peace, rather than watch as war breaks out, my Queen?
(Yay! We could totally meet!
At a signing in three years time :/)
You always see people bossing other people about, Sil.
(I will be back in a moment.)

*sails off into the sunset*
(I am back. Hello, Annika.)
Oh my god....we're watching The Crucible so my teacher hands out tissues, and says we'll need them.-Zaf
(Hello, Zafira.)
(Hello Cute Captain Crawley, and hey, Zaffy!)
(Sowry I fell aslee!b)
There is no war in blogland
Minerve: Yet there is conflict.
There is conflict everywhere.
Minerve: So put a stop to it. Stop your friends being hurt. Your rule will not be categorised by war, but peace.
Why me
Minerve: In my realm, I saw good in you. I saw your desire to protect those who you care about no matter what. I believe your experience makes you more than qualified, my Queen. I also noticed strength. You are strong physically and mentally. You will be a good leader.
I'm not mentally strong.
And anyone here would protect the others.
Minerve: You are, my Queen. But not everyone would to your capacity. If I thought otherwise, why would I have come to you? You will be a loving leader.
Eating chocolate chip bagels and awtching the movie gravity in physics after our exam....
still isn't heloing :'(
(*hugs Adra*)
...
Phaestra said never to make a deal with you.
*hugs Adra*
(Hello, Adrasdos.)
Minerve: Phaestra is manipulative. She has poisoned you against me. She is jealous.
*laughs*
Phaestra? Really. Wow. You are good at playing people..
Minerve: Playing people? I do not understand. Phaestra has never explained our parentage, or why she cursed me, did she? Not the truth?
No...
If I disappear for a few days/weeks/years, then I've messed up.
Minerve: Do you wish me to explain?
(Why, Tia?)
