«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2200 of 4509 Newer› Newest»(*hug Tia* messed up how)?
Sure. Why not.
Just... I want to spend every day with you. If I disappear suddenly, just know I'm not abandoning you, but rather I have no choice in the matter.
(I will be back in a moment.)
(Tia what's happening?)
(I might-
nothing. Just being-
Look, I might be distant for a few days. And it might last.
But hey, could be worse, right?)
Anyway, I must go. Take care, Sil. You too, Soph! And hug Rose for me, ok guys?
((*goes to barber's/hairdressers*))
(Okay Tia..)
Minerve: We do not know of our parentage, though many wish to find out. We do not know who created us.
She cursed me because she was jealous. Of the fact I was more beautiful than she was.
(soz was feeding the cats.)
*raises a skeptical eyebrow*
Join the bloody club with depression, Adra. For once, not even being sarcastic. -Zaf
(Oh god Silvente Silvente SILVENTE)
(queue at the barbers)
(@Zaf Is everyone depressed?)
(Tia! Silvente is not a thing! Sil does not need another ship!)
...
That isn't necessary.
You dont want to know....what happened. I need to go, spanish class.
Zafira, what is going on?
(*hugs Zaf*
*hugs Tia*
*hugs Xan*
*hugs Adra*
*waves at Sophia*)
I notice how you didn't hug Minerve. I guess you're not ready to do that yet... in public.
@Xan I don't :/
(*glares at Tia*
I swear Sil need to stop with the ships. She has waaaay too many.)
Tilente?
Why is depression condemned on this blog?
Why is mental disease, something that can't be controlled, condemned?
Seriously.
I'm depression because I was bullied, and it's caused a chain of emotions that I repressed as a kid to emerge, and it's been a slow, painful, long journey. Though it's one that I need help with.
And there are still comments such as "join the club", which belittle my problems, meant to make me feel unimportant?
(@Tia oh yes you do. I ship you with Deathy. Also because of that one sleep deprived night you have a ship with Sil.
Those were REALLY bad chat up lines XD)
(It's meant to show our depression, I think.)
*hugs Adra*
Of course you're important!
....
You guys... This blog is so painful, and I don't want to come here, and every time that I manage to come away for a while, I come back to check in for a happy little reunion, and something like this happens.
It's just become so hard to be a part of this community.
...
I need to go for my next exam, now. I'll be on TLC if you need me.
Siltia?
I have never seen you ship Tia x Rose.
(*hugs Adra* I'm sorry...)
Good bye, Adra! I'm sorry for ruining your return. Have a good day, ok?
TLC?
(Yeah the Tia x Rose thing is cuz you kissed her.
Tilente.
And...
Rosia.
I wonder how long it'll be before Sil is shipped with everyone on the blog.)
SPEAKING OF SHIPS.
*the HMS Midnight Hotel cuts across the sea*
Wait, you aren't already shipped with everybody?
(No Tia. Not yet. Hopefully not ever.
Hello Clara.)
(It's a blog she made. Her, Trip, Alistair, Fabi, and Star are on it. (I think, it's what I observed from the small glimpse I got of it) But it can't be viewed unless you're invited so i think that me seeing it was a glitch....)
Also hey people's!!!!!! Argh! I am going away this weekend with no WiFi or cell service!
There is a little service at the clubhouse but it's really bad and I doubt my parents would let me...:((
(*hugs Dugz* hey.)
(That's was for Tia about TLC)
I must say, I am particularly proud of that segway.
*stands in the crow's nest*
*looking at the horizon through a spyglass*
I believe I've only been shipped with three people in Blogland.
(*hugs back*
Purple platamatapusses!!!)
(Hey Clara and Duggy!)
Greetings, Dugglyn, Tia, Silente, and any landlubber I may have missed.
Hehehe, only 2! Neither of them have really gone canon. Blake and Trip I think we're going to make more and then they forgot.
(Okay Tia here's a run down of Silentes ship that I remember
Malente
Vivilente
Dilente
Sileni
Tilente
Clarente
Jamilente
Uh...
That's it I think.)
My Internet is being DEPLORABLY slow, so forgive me if my comments are also.
Aww, at barber's and phone battery is at 12% :/
Might poof...
Hey Tia! Hey Clara ze pirates!!
You know what, I'll be back in ten minutes. I have to go troubleshoot the Internet. I WILL return!
"School's out for summer" just came on. Are you mocking me?
(Okay!)
Bye Tia! Bye Clara!
(Tia that was ahead of time!:))
(Fluffy Antelopes!! I have to go already?! I'll try to be back later but Idk. It might be around Monday or Tuesday when I'm back.... :((((
Pie peeps!
Darquesse x Silente ship ship
Alright, I'm back. Hullo.
. . .
Darquesse x Silente ship ship
So, Silente gets shipped with everybody in Blogland, eh?
. . . Does that make her Blogland's Dexter Vex?
*tacklehugs Clara* So pretty. So pretty.
*poses majestically at the helm of the HMS Midnight Hotel, Tia clinging to my leg like I'm an action hero and she's a blond*
*gone*
No . . !
*reaches for Tia*
Come back! How can I be majestic without people to marvel at my majesty?
*climbs aboard* raah you have been boarded by me.
(Hello Clars how are you?)
*deadpan* Oh no, I have been bombarded.
Apart from the bombardment, I've been doing well.
Do you like my ship?
*pats a rail*
It's the finest ship in the seas. Not as lost and world-weary as Blione, yet with a far less bloodthirsty crew than Aladra.
*boarded
Yes it is a nice ship.
It appears that my fearsome elocution has scared everybody away.
Or maybe not. Welcome back, Garrett!
I love my ship.
*rolls around on the deck*
*pushes Clars off* *runs to the wheel and starts sailing away*
(It seems I am back.)
*rides a dolphin after the ship*
No! Come back here at once!
*continues sailing* *shouts* Never!
(Hello soph, how are you?)
(Average. Yourself?)
Greetings, Sophia! This man is stealing my ship!
*rides the dolphin next to the ship*
*drifts closer, trying to grab a rope so I can swing onto the deck*
You managed to get to TLC, Dugglyn? O_O
That's cool. :)
Greetings, Star!
*seizes a rope*
*swings aboard the HMS Midnight Hotel*
*draws cutlass*
Avast, Garrett!
Fine, thanks . . . I'm going to Hull Fair three times, I believe. :O
Since when did people invite me places . . . ?
*How're you? :)
*And everyone else? :)
People don't often invite me places either.
I got invited to Hell once. I didn't go. I figured the Devil wouldn't want the competition.
(I'm good thanks soph,
hello Star how are you?)
*pulls sword out and cuts the all the ropes* ah ha!
(I have returned!
Not that I announced my departure but still.
Why is my enemies ship being stolen?
And why am I not the one stealing it?)
@Clara: XD
*laughs*
Fine, thanks, Garrett. :) You?
Ha ha, your rope-cutting technique is useless against me!
*parkours across the deck*
*roundhouse-kicks Garrett off the side of the ship*
(Because i can Sil,
anyway how are you Sil?)
*seizes the wheel*
Don't think about trying anything, Captain Tempest! I am the Majestic Pirate Crowley!
(I'm good thanks Star *offers friendly hug to everyone who wants one*)
*shadow walks back onto the deck* ah ha magic for the win.
(Sil: Oh Clara
Remember how we were to be queens?
Well apparently someone is replacing your position as ruler number two.
Or is trying to anyway.
Well they're evil and just want to manipulate moi for power like.
But that's just like you isn't it?
Oh Clara Clara Clara.)
Curses! Foiled again!
*turns the HMS Midnight Hotel sharply to starboard, to throw off Garrett's balance*
Arise, my crew! Swarm him!
The Towel Crew: *swarms him, flapping ineffectually*
@Star Kinda. See I think it was a mistake. Because for a little bit it was on Adra's profile and it was open to anybody so I looked at it but then I think she realized it was open and it got taken off her profile and blocked to everyone except members.
*her eyes suddenly widen in fear*
Someone help!!!! They're going to take me to the dentist!!!! And floss my teeth!!!! Hel-
*suddenly disappears, not coming back till Sunday at the earliest*
(*turns slowly*
Oh Silente, don't be that way
Because my heart does not belong to you
You have a ship every way you turn
I have only one, and I'll protect it true
Oh Silente, Silente
Don't make us fight again
Oh Silente, Silente
I don't think I could stand the pain.)
(Sil: It's good to see you again. How's the hotel? Got any strange packages?
I must admit your move to the seas is a smart one. Much harder for me to breach.)
*shadow walks to the wheel*
Strange, packages? Not since I left port, Silente-chan. The Midnight Hotel's transition to becoming a pirate ship was a rocky one, I'll admit, but well worth it in the end. I took a leave out of your book and learned a few sigils. Not many, but enough to get my hotel seaworthy.
Garrett.
*motions for him to come closer*
*puts an arm around his shoulder and whispers* Listen, I need a favor. I can pay you in gold and tropical birds.
Good bye *shadow walks to the mainland*
(Sil: hm. Interesting. I'll be right there Clara dear. How many guests do you think I can get through while Garrett distracts you?)
*huffs at Garrett*
Well then.
*returns* hello you were going to make me as offer, what is it?
Good luck finding me, out here in open water.
*lounges against the wheel*
I will never understand your relentless desire to make my life hell.
Ah yes, Garrett. As it happens, I find myself in need of a muscle-for-hire. Any chance of you sticking around for a while to defend me against Silente Tempest? Ever since my True Name got . . .
*pauses*
. . . Anyhow, my magic is a little . . . rusty. I need a bodyguard.
(Sil: its my favorite hobby.)
*steps out onto a ships deck*
*looks around and steps through a portal to a different ship*
*and then another*
*and another*
*and another*
*checks the tracker she put on Garr*
*steps through onto Clara's ship*
Boo.
Sure *grabs Sil and throws her overboard*.
*moves before Garr can grab her, laughing*
Idiot.
*runs below deck seeking out play things*
*draws cutlass*
*puts it to Silente's throat*
Hullo, Silente. I see you're here to kill me again. What a surprise.
*laughs a humorlessly laugh*
I ran away from my managerial duties to become a majestic pirate, and you're still chasing me, even so. This was never about my hotel. I can see that now.
*watches Silente dart below deck*
*laughs*
*laughs and laughs and laughs*
*has to hold onto a railing, she's laughing so hard*
*there are no guests below deck*
*shadow walks to the crows nest*
*frowns at the lack of people and growls*
*comes back above deck*
Where?
*laughs harder*
Oh . . . oh Silente . . .
*hiccups from laughing so hard*
Hic! Oh Silente, you poor idiot . . .
*sheaths the cutlass*
You got rid of the guests.
*starts parkouring across the masts*
Got rid of them? Nonsense. They're still in the hotel.
*laughs again*
Do you honestly think there's any sort of sigil . . . at least, a sigil that an amateur like me would know . . . that could turn a hotel into a pirate ship?
This ship is not the Midnight Hotel. I HID the Midnight Hotel.
*reaches down shirt*
*pulls out a golden key on a dangling chain*
I hid it where you'll never find it, and locked it with this key. It took so long for a little idiot like me to realize that I was the weak link, not the hotel. To keep the hotel safe from your treachery, I must distance myself from it. You would come for me, not the hotel.
Now tell me, Silente, would Anton Shudder have thought of that?
*smiles*
*swallows the key*
*watches her swallow the key*
*stalks forwards and punches her hard in the stomach*
*bends double, gasping in pain*
*then laughs again*
*lunges forward, head-butting Silente in the stomach*
*sweeps her legs out from under her*
*and stamps hard on Silente's right hand*
I've been training, too. I told you I'd learn to kill you. And now that my magic is gone, I've had to make do with mortal fighting.
It seems to work pretty well.
*clutches her hand and laughs*
My my. I'm proud
*snarls in fury*
*kicks her viciously in the side of the head*
I didn't want to have to kill you by beating you to death, Silente. Magic would've been better. Now I'll get blood on my shoes. Blood! Nothing stains worse than blood.
*draws cutlass*
*presses it to Silente's throat*
Last words, Silente Tempest?
Burn in hell.
*kicks Clara's sword hand sideways, breaking the wrist*
*lunges up and tackles Clara, pinning her on her back*
Oh Clara dear. You tried to hard.
*jumps down* break it up, *pulls Sil off Clars*
*shrieks in pain*
*the shriek becomes a snarl, which becomes a smile*
I . . . have you to thank for that, Silente.
*grimaces*
You really taught my how to push myself to overcome a challenge . . .
*head snaps up, cracking into Silente's*
*heaves her off and stands up, breathing heavily*
*reaches into pocket*
*removes a moist towelette*
*wipes off hands*
You are, without a doubt, the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
I'm flattered. First you learn to fight for me. Now you tell me I'm the worst thing to happen to you. Honestly I'm honored.
*grins*
*sits on a chair and watches*
(I am here my darlings ^^)
You had better be. You ruined my life, after all.
*rubs the broken wrist, which is the right one*
*whimpers in pain*
E-enough of that. There's one thing that's never made sense to me.
*looks at Silente*
*very obviously and calculatedly puts right hand behind back*
Why?
*lunges for Silente, landing a vicious cross punch with her left fist*
Plugged my phone into the wall at 1% charge. Let's see who's online.
Greetings, my dear friend Inky. How goes it? Also, I love your new profile picture!
*head snaps and she stumbles, falling flat on her butt*
*grins up at Clara*
Why not.
Winners of the second challenge posted on TNC, for those who are interested.
(I am good, u? thanks)
*through gritted teeth* Why not?
*kicks her in the teeth*
WHY NOT?
*kicks her in the ribs*
*once, twice*
You blood-sucking leech! You sordid basilisk!
You victimize me, obsess over me, terrorize me, and make it your mission to destroy me at every turn, and your excuse is WHY NOT?
You're tha bane of my existence! The scourge of my soul! Is that all you wanted, eh? For me to say it out loud? Well, I'm saying it now! YOU ARE MY HELL ON EARTH!
*draws cutlass, left-handed*
*slams it through Silente's shoulder, into the deck*
*the
Why thank you, Fabi! I'll go check that out.
*cries out when her teeth are kicked*
*gasps and curls up when her ribs are kicked*
*screams at the cutlass*
STOP!
(Ooh! I won!)
(Hi Sil, Clara, Fabi, Gar, Chloe and Star!)
This Clarente is getting too violent :/
STOP!?
*rains punch after punch into Silente's face*
Did you stop, all the times I begged? Did you stop when I pleaded you to give me peace? No?
*CRACK*
You wanted me to become a killer, Silente Tempest!
*CRACK*
Well, fine then! Fine! You win!
*CRACK*
After all this time, all this blood, you finally win! I hope you're proud of me!
*CRACK*
(Man, Silente drove Annika to do this...?)
((Shower after barbers because hair :/ so wbd for a short while))
(Hiya Tia! how art thou?)
(Prywwhawn da Inks)
(Hello Tia)
(shwmae, sut wyt ti bach?)
*screams and covers up her face*
STOP PLEASE!!!
(Clara has been at this point for a long time. She is also, however, a coward and a weakling. She had never reached a physical state where she was actually capable of beating up Silente until this point.)
(Rwy'n wedi blino a hapus a ti?)
*violently shaking*
*breathing heavily*
*slowly cleans off her bloody knuckles on the edge of Silente's coat*
*hisses* Give me one good reason.
(dw I wedi blino hefyd, ond dw I hapus)
(Seems I am back.)
(welcomes Soph)
*uncovers her bloodied twelve year olds face, blood streaming from her wonky nose, numerous cuts along her pale skin*
I..I'm sorry...

Hi, Chloe!
(makes me cry every time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX2_79TmvyA)
*looks at Silente, all beaten and broken*
*feels nothing*
*there's nothing left to feel*
*removes the cutlass from her shoulder with a sickening SHLIPP noise*
*presses the tip against her throat*
Not good enough.
(good good (^_-) (<sort of winking face lol))
*cries out and whimpers*
Please...Clara...I'm sorry....don't...
(OMG OMG I WANNA WATCH ANIME VERSION OF ROMEO AND JULIET ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
wanna rp Gar? where are you?)
(Pirates in the 22nd Century are rather different.)
(I will, of course, not kill you without your consent. That would be god-modding. However, if consent is given, I will not hesitate to kill you right here.)
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
If you think you're so big and tough and superior to me, than how come you're the one bleeding on the deck? How come I took you out with literally one arm behind my back?
Not such a posh weakling now.
*smiles coldly*
Not such a posh weakling now.
(I assume 22nd century pirates are all space pirates?
That would be fun.)
(sure, Tawnett was skiing last time we saw them)
(you start please and email from me t(-.-t) choo choo)
(Of course they are space-pirates. Many double-up as slavers. I've had some dealings with pirates invading my ship in the past. They didn't get very far, but nevertheless, it irritated me.)
(Ha yeah er give me a sec to think about whethee or not I'm going to allow you to kill him.)
*stumbles to her feet, growling*
(Yes, of course. As much time as you'd like.)
*laughs*
Oh, I'm so scared. Look at me, the cowardly hotel manager. I'm shaking in my boots.
*the cutlass snaps up, slashing Silente's right cheek*
(okay ^^)
Tawnee: shall we go out and ski? *finishes hot chocolate*
(*_*)
*cries out*
LEAVE ME ALONE!
*runs along the deck away from Clara*
(yeah sure go for it Clara. You deserve it.)
Oh. It was not torture in anyway. They cleaned and gently flossed my teeth. It was nothing compared to getting my braces off. Oh.
Well I'm here for who knows how long!!!!
Thanks for the update Fabi!!!! Sent a text to El, but I think she's at school while I have the day off!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
(Yellow Dugg!)
(Purple Ink!)
(orange)
(Hello, Dugglyn.)
(Yes, I believe I do.)
*watches Silente run*
*smirks*
*grips the cutlass in her teeth and grabs a rope with her left hand*
*swings across the deck, landing in front of Silente*
*removes the cutlass and points it in her face*
You're not going anywhere, Silente. We're in the middle of open water.
Why are we in the middle of open water?
YOU DROVE ME TO MOVE TO OPEN WATER.
*backs away*
Clara please I'm sorry come back to dry land I won't hurt you anymore I swear!
(msd.)
(Ahhh!!! Halloween is coming!!! WHAT SHALL I BEEEEEEEEEE!?!?!?!?!
!?!)
*looks at taw* ok why not *finishes up*
(blue dugg how are you?)
Tawnee: *goes outside and puts skis on* are you ready, sweetie?
No more talking!
*sweeps her legs out from under her*
*stamps on her stomach, keeping her still*
No more pretty words!
*lowers the tip of the cutlass to her throat*
Pretty words are what got me into this mess in the first place.
*pushes*
*the cutlass goes through Silente's throat, into the deck*
(I be good!!! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)
*picks up ski's* not really, but Yolo!
(O.o
*whispers*
Clarente...!)
*eyes widen as she gags on her own blood, trying to gurgle out words*
*locks eyes with Clara*
*chokes on her own blood and goes limp*
(Clara... what have you done...?! O.o
:P)
Tawnee: *rolls eyes and puts on goggles* come on!
*goes down the slope*
*looks down at her*
*tugs on the cutlass, but it's stuck firm*
*pulls harder*
*it comes out*
*stares down at Silente, limp, dead*
*picks her up, bridal-style*
*dumps her over the side of the ship*
*SPLASH*
*picks up the cutlass*
*smeared with her blood*
*begins to clean it*
*then stops*
*throws it over the side as well*
*goes down, below deck*
*leans heavily on the wall, and takes several deep breaths*
*there's a black and white photo on the wall*
*a man, standing in front of a hotel*
. . . I made you proud, right?
You're proud of me.
*bends double and vomits into a trash can*
(I'm good and so are my eyes)
*puts goggles on* here we go *follows Taw down the slope*
*appears by Clara*
*whispers in her ear*
Clara, the fangirls are distraught! They're swarming, making an angry mob!
*takes another deep breath*
*returns to the upper decks*
*takes hold of the wheel, and begins to steer the ship towards the Northlands, where the Midnight Hotel has been stashed*
*sings softly* It's a beautiful day,
And I can't stop myself from smiling,
If we're drinking then I'm buying,
And I know there's no denying
It's a beautiful day,
The sun is up, the music's playing,
And even if it started raining,
You won't hear this girl complaining,
'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away,
It's a beautiful day.
THE END
Tawnee: *laughs*
*wind blows through her hair*
this. is. amazing!
(I think I'm taking this evening off so I'll probably be curled in a corner somewhere in the distance, observing.)
(So, like, just so you know, I might be ghosting. :))
(I love the fact that your profile picture is ghosts.)
(Hello Taia how are you?)
*pushes a snowboarder out of the way* yes this is fun *laughs*
(Hey Taia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok! I love your profile picture!!!! :))))))
(Heya Taia, how are you bach?)
Tawnee: that wasn't nice *not being serious at all*
Well he had it coming, so that's why.
Tawnee: *laughs*
*keeps swerving when skiing*
(Gtg! See yey'all sometime hopefully soon but might be a few days!)
(Goodbye, Dugglyn! You will be sorely missed!)
(byii Dugg! miss you!!!)
@Annika: *laughs* I changed it exclusively for the sake of making one ghosting pun. :)
... But I might just keep it for October now. :P
@Dugglyn: Thanks! C:
Hey, Garrett! I'm alright, thanks. How're you?
Aw, hope to see you after not too long, CHloe! Bye!
