«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4509 Newer› Newest»*snarls at dragon and lunges for her throat instead, bigger target*
(Of course Snow. What can I say? Without me the world would cease to exist.)
Tawnee: *growls*
*hurls fire at Sil*
(I'm back. And if everyone's running into this rp then I will too.)
*skips into Blogland trying to remember something she forgot*
*sees the havoc*
*whistles loud enough to hopefully stop everyone*
Hey! Stop being mean! Look at this chap on the floor he clearly needs help.
*looks at Sil*
*frowns*
Your weren't going to eat him were you?
((wbd for a mo))
*dives to avoid the fire and looks up at raven, blood across her face*
*not her own blood*
*tense and ready to attack the next thing that makes a wrong move*
Minerve: *shadows leak from Silente, landing in front of her* *the shadows solidify into her form*
*tries to slow down her breathing*
You.
*points to the dragon*
No attacking Sil.
*looks at Sil*
You. Go clean yourself up.
*points at Gar*
You. Help the dragon that just protected you and calm it down.
*points to herself*
You. Go help the guy on the floor.
*growls at Min*
Tawnee: *stands in an attacking position*
*rambles*
This chap on the floor has a name. A wonderful name. You know what I think this chap on the floor possibly has the best name in the whole entire universe, do you want to hear it? Oh I know you do, but are you worthy enough to hear it. I'm not so sure of that.
*pause*
It's Eldritch Blaze, lovely to meet you all.
*points at Sil*
Not you though. Well, no that would be rude. It was even lovely meeting you my vampire friend.
*pats taw on the side* its ok now you can change back, thank you.
Minerve: It would be wise to stop, mortal.
*glares at Eldritch, the craziness starting to leave her eyes*
*blinks and backs up a step*
*eyes clear fully and widen*
SHIT!
*rifles through her pockets, looking for something*
Tawnee: *switches back *
*runs out to change clothes*
*comes back* nice to meet you too
Same here *changes into normal human form, still has wolf tail and ears*
*smiles, hoping that everybody has calmed down now*
*sits near Eldritch*
*put a daisy chain around his wrist*
It's great to meet you too. I'm Raven.
*sits there smiling! having no idea how to stop bleeding or anything of the sorts*
*pulls a needle from her pocket*
Raven. He needs this.
*holds it out to her*
And put pressure on the wound..
(hello Xan how are you?)
you feeling better now Taw?
nice to meet you Eldritch.
(HeWwo Xan! How art thou?)
*Smiles, sitting up and looking at the daisy chain*
That is absolutely beautiful. I feel like a Prince. Prince of the Plants.
*laughing he tears off the sleeve of his shirt, scrunching it up dappling pressure to the wound.*
Tawnne: *nods* I'm alright now sweetie
*stares at Sil*
I...umm...he's bleeding a lot. Do I just stick my hand over his neck like this?
*puts hands over his neck trying to stop the blood flow*
*looks back at Sil*
What do I do with the needle?
(Hey xanadu!)
(Okay just pretend I she didn't do the hand thing and just go straight to the needle question.)
((okay, here fully again))
Inject it into one of his veins...
*rolls the needle along the floor to her then backs up into Flick*
Minerve: Perhaps when you rule you will learn the importance of order rather than chaos, Silente Tempest.
Good *gives Taw a quick peck on the cheek* that was very brave *smiles*
(Oh crap! I totally missed you comment Xandu. Hello, *sprinkles him with money* I feel really bad, so I'm making up for it with money.)
*picks up the needle*
*inspects it*
Look Eldritch, I don't really want to stab you with the needle so...
*holds it out*
Do you want to do it yourself?
*looks at min*
I'm never going to rule.
*stands straight*
(that's good Xan *nods*)
You know you people with all this fuss, quite unnecessary.
*huffs*
It's just a little bit of blood.
(Hello Snow, do you want to join us?)
(*whispers creepily* bloooooood)
(*stares at Snow*
I didn't totally just check under my bed for monsters after that...nope.)
Minerve: At least use my army to help protect your friends. *shadows flicker into view beside her, showing an image of knights in golden armour waiting*
Tawnee: *smiles* thank you.
Nice to meet you Eldritch
(*f-licks raven*)
No Min. No army. No rulers. Just blogland with all It's flaws.
(i always think of f-licks as violent licks..)
(Rude Snow. Rude.)
Do I want to stab myself with a needle? For some reason, I don't think I am exactly qualified to do that.
*pauses thinking over his speech*
You know, I know I am not exactly qualified to that. Because I am Eldritch Blaze, not exactly qualified to do that.
(Looks to Tawn*
It is nice to meet me, isn't it?
(*takes hand* And you!)
Minerve: Listen. They will follow your orders. *nods to the image* Ask them to sit down.
*pulls some daisies out of her pocket and makes them into a crown*
*places it on Eldritch's head*
Now you look like Price of the plants. Also Price of vampire bites.
(if he doesn't inject himself he will turn into an infected.)
Tawnee: *doesn't know what to say to that* yes....
*walks over to Eldritch* give me the needle and I'll do it.
(I AM GOING TO SEE THE MAZE RUNNER LATER!)
*prince, in both cases prince.
No Min. It's not happening.
(sil still wants to really piss min off...)
(get Sil to shout no gods no masters, it may piss min off further)
Minerve: I am offering my assistance. I believe it would be wise to summon them, at least for a trial. They are unquestionably loyal - but do not answer to me.
*tilts head at the image* Sit down. *the soldiers do not move* Do you see?
(Though Raven is against violence and all she says to do the chicken dance to Min. You know, 'Don't want to be a chicken, don't want to be a duck so kiss my butt.')
Min I'm not summoning an army! Get it into your head. It's not happening.
Inky: *goes to the bar*
*keeps drinking*
Minerve: I see. I need to find another way.
*picks up the needle* this is going to hurt *stabs Eldritch with the needle*
*passes Gar the needle*
That would be much appreciated.
Minerve: *raises her hand towards the needle and the glass shatters*
(like i said above) *stabs Eldritch with the needle*
(oops dont mind my last post)
*winces, biting down on tongue*
No warning.
*pauses*
I like you.
*looks at Eldritch*
I'm sorry you've been attacked by Sil...
*doesn't know what else to say*
...but at least it's something new.
Yup that's me, you feeling any different yet?
Tawnee: don't be so rough, sweetie
Yes. You do. Cause I'm through being manipulated by you. You are not my master nor my adviser. You are not my friend nor my ally. You are a scheming murderer who wishes for death and chaos, and who I've listen to for much to long! *slaps min* that's for dug. *slaps her again* that's for me. *aims a punch for her face* and that's for blogland!
I'm sorry, *offers eldritch a hand up*
tawnee: That's better
*smiles sweetly*
*snaps her eyes up to Tawnee*
*jumps up*
Hello! I'm Raven, Raven Astracae.
*hold out a daisy chain*
Would you like a daisy chain?
(There is more to injecting someone than just stabbing them with the needle. You actually need to push the plunger down also.)
Minerve: *shadows form in her hand, and throws them to the floor, causing a shockwave which knocks everyone back*
Tawnee: Okay, nice to meet you. Im Tawnee. Excuse the scales
*points to her scaley patches*
*is knocked over*
Hey! What was that for?
*frowns*
I didn't even do anything wrong.
*is thrown back*
*gets up and shakes her head, growling*
*runs and sends elbows flying into Mins face with barely a seconds gap between them*
*takes hand and stands up, smiling at Raven and Gar*
Don't worry about it.
As you say, something new. It's not like Sil would have killed me anyway. I mean, look at this face. Not just anybody can kill the great Eldritch Blaze, there was no need to fret.
(i know that, and i did it just didn't type it)
Raves i haven't told you yet but Taw and me, we're together.
*hits the floor again*
And I just stood up!
Minerve: *shadows knot together in her hand, forming a short sword* *slashes Silente's stomach, then aims the tip of her sword at her and fires black energy from it towards her*
*hits a tree* thanks for that min, so kind of you.
(I see. Would it not be more accurate to actually type what you do rather than expect people to know?
From what you actually said, the needle would still be sticking in him full of liquid.
But what you meant was that you stabbed him with the needle and injected him - so why not say it?)
*smiles despite the fight going on in the background! forgetting where she was for a second*
That's great. You're not all
*makes kissy faces*
Are you?
*looks over to the fight and her breathing begins to become shorter*
*closes her eyes, shutting them tight*
It'll be okay
*opens them*
*is sent flying backwards and curses at the cut*
*takes her jacket off, tearing it and wrapping it tightly around her stomach, the cut only being a shallow one should be fine for now*
Go back to your relm Minerve! You'll achieve nothing here and you know it!
And about Phaestra being jealous of your looks? Please. You're pretty as a spider than you are as a human.
We are yes, *nods* isn't that right hon *looks at Taw*
(true point soph)
(I better go now ^^ tell you how the film goes )
(Commander I can vouch for his actions. We were in a time of stress and great challenge. TO miss one or two words does not make the end of the world, however if I were not here, it would be. I am glad we have come to this conclusion, thank you, thank you *bows*)
(ok Inks, I'll mail you later)
(true point too eldritch)
Minerve: *fires a beam of shadows from her hand towards Silente*
That's gross Gar.
*flicks her eyes to the fight*
I'll be right back.
*walks uneasily to the fight*
*stands in between Min and Sil*
Stop fighting.
*takes a big deep breath*
And if you won't stop fighting.
*holds back her tears and tries to keep her voice steady*
Then you will have to kill me first, because I don't want to watch you fight.
*stands shaking with her eyes half closed*
(Bye Inky.)
*dives to avoid it and laughs*
And even now! When you're more powerful than ever in this relm you fail to complete one simple task! I pity you Min. I really do.
Last time I was in Sovereign Hill, we had to talk to the actors who played different people around the place.
I spoke to a man dressed as a police men. He was kind and gentle, answered every question my group of friends had to throw at him.
When we were looking over our notes, he asked us, "Is that all?"
I smiled at him as shrugged. "It looks good enough to me."
All humour and happiness drained from his face. He placed his withered hand on my shoulder and leaned in close so he could whisper the best advice I had ever heard. "Love, good enough is never good enough. Remember that, now, alright?"
I nodded, shocked by his words. "Thank you."
But now I see he was onto something. My life isn't good enough, nor will it ever. But, if Em is there for me to fall back on, then hey! I might just prove that wise old man wrong.
*pulls himself to a stand again, dusting himself off shouts*
YOU KNOW THIS FIGHTING IS UNNECESSARY?
*walks over to the fight* Min and Sil, why are you fighting?
Minerve: *aims her sword at Raven* It would be wise to get out of my way, mortal* *her body twists and mutates, transforming into a spider the same size as a bus*
*eyes the spider*
Raven, Eldritch, Garr, out of the way. Now.
*stands still*
I'm not moving.
*tries her best to keep breathing as Min turns into a spider*
I will not watch you kill my friend. And I will not watch her hurt you. If you want me to move, you have to kill me.
*shakes trying her hardest to cover it up*
*looks at the spider* holy s*** that's big *takes raven by the shoulder and walks away from the fight*
And just when I get my passion back...
Mother: Fucking Hell! You are sunburnt!
Me: Don't they say that you learn from your mistakes? *Manages to smile for the first time in weeks*
Mother: NO! THAT'S JUST STUPID!!
Me: *walks quietly away because arguing with parents just ends in tears. every. time.*
*pushes Gar's hand away*
I said I'm not moving Gar.
*Looks at the spider with interest*
Hmm, pretty neat, if I do say so myself. You should make that permanent.
*doesn't move*
(*hugs the person who I'm fairly certain is rose*)
Minerve: *leaps over Raven, and starts attempting to bite Silente with her poisoned fangs*
You sure, just look at the size of that spider.
(*holds person whose name I am unsure*
It'll be okay friend)
(Mother's are silly, they make you run around the neighborhood before they let you got to your friend's online wedding. *hugs* I think. I know who you are, and I love you.)
*dives and rolls, barely managing to avoid the fangs each time they come for her*
*stumbles and throws herself sideways as one tears a hole in her shirt, pinning her but not cutting her*
*pulls making the material rip and making her stumble*
(*Hugs Sil, Eld and Rave back*)
*closes her eyes and starts to cry just a little*
I know I don't stand for this and I shouldn't do it. I know that when I do this any shred of love you have left for me will disappear. I also know that I'm doing this for the right reason mummy, and I'm not sorry. But I'm not proud either. Sometimes things just have to be done.
*wipes a tear away from her eye and stares at Min*
I can do this.
*focuses all her energy into shape-shifting into the spider just like Min*
Why don't you pick on someone your own size.
Minerve: *swipes Silente's legs out from underneath her with one of hers, continuing to slash at her with her fangs*
(I'm going to go get some breakfast c u guys in a bit.)
(*Returns to illegally watching movies that aren't released yet or have other very illegal things to them*)
(See you later Gar.)
(Hello Danni.)
Minerve: *turns, eyeing up the new spider* *her body twists and mutates into a snake the same height as the spider, just a lot longer* *hisses*
*rolls quickly, stumbling up*
*dives and hugs one of Min's legs*
RAVEN WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU DOING?!
(Minerve no longer has legs.)
*frowns*
That's not fair, you can't be a snake that's just completely flipped the tables.
*looks at Sil*
I'm doing the right thing, and not letting a giant spider crush me.
(That was before she became a snake ^^)
*leg becomes part of a tail*
*climbs onto the top of the tail and starts stabbing it with a knife*
Minerve: *spits poison at Raven* *her tail wraps around Silente, squeezing her tight*
(*waves bye*)
*blinks at fight*
You know what I need?
*walks to microwave and begins to pop popcorn. Whistles as watches fight.*
*gasps, eyes widening as the tail coils around herand she realises that was a very stupid move*
*pushes against the tail, straining to keep herself some breathing space*
*scarcely dodges the poison*
*runs at Min*
*tries to hook her fangs around Min's neck*
(What does the poison do?)
(Paralysis and makes you feel the pain of every person you have ever hurt.)
Minerve: *rears up and bites at Raven, hissing*
*continues to coil around Silente, beginning to squeeze with bone crushing force*
*screams in pain*
Think Raven, think.
*shifts into an ant and scurries out of Min's mouth before turning into a woodpecker*
*lands carefully on Min's head and begins to hit it with her beak*
*cries out, shaking, straining with all her might against the crushing coils*
*she won't be able to keep her breathing space much longer*
*tries to shift upwards and climb out of the coils without loosing much space*
*takes the popcorn out of the microwave when it is done and begins eating. Sits down and watches*
Minerve: *shakes Raven off and spits poison*
*adjusts her tail accordingly and continues to crush Silente*
*whimpers, shaking*
*she can't keep her space*
*if she stops she'll be crushed*
*but she can't much longer*
*snarls and bites Min*
*gets thrown off and looks back to check Sil*
*gets clipped on the wing by the poison*
*stops flapping and falls uncontrollably to the ground*
*lies on the ground having shifted back into human form*
I'm sorry Sil. I think...
*frowns*
I think life crushed me.
*curls up into a ball, shaking slightly*
Minerve: *rears up, hissing, showing her long fangs* *bites at Silente*
(Physical pain or emotional pain Commander?)
(Both.)
*stops fighting the moment she tries to bite, slipping further into the coils causing Min to bite herself*
*please work please work please work please work*
(And how long before the effects kick in?)
(It is instant, Raven.)
Minerve: *rears up and bites again*
*is enjoying his popcorn*
*NO DAMN IT THE PLAN DIDN'T WORK*
(well duh Sil. Snakes are immune to their own venom.)
*screams as she's bitten and her whole body seizes up, paralysis taking hold*
*screams and her pupils widen at the pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain pain (etc)*
*feels a burning sensation in her stomach and it feels like rats are scraping through the skin on her stomach*
*her fingernails feel like they are being slowly ripped off and her arms stabbed*
*her tongue feels as though it's been cut out*
*she cried feeling the pain of four people having lost their only child*
*she cried and cried*
*her body slightly convulsing every now and again*
*it was indescribable, unimaginable pain, and she brought it all upon herself*
*I'm sorry, she thought, I'm sorry for everything*
Minerve: *uncoils from Silente, shifting back to her normal form*
*frowns, watching people everywhere*
Well that wasn't very nice at all.
*lays stiff on the floor, wanting to scream, to cry, to beg, to tear off the feel of acid on skin, to escape the pain*
*the loss*
*the emptiness*
*the hatred*
*the burning*
*the freezing*
*the crushing*
*the acid*
*the knives*
*the grater*
*the nails*
*all of it all at once non stop*
(Well that escalated quickly.
Bye Commander.)
(Well....shit.)
(I have a screaming, crying Raven in my head.)
(Well that was interesting)
(I have a screaming crying shouting begging and much more-ing Silente in my head.)
( :'( )
(I am back. The poison wears off after several minutes.)
Minerve: *tilts head at Raven and Silente*
*stays stiff on the ground, the pain slowly starting to ebb*
*slowly begins to shake a little again*
*the pain still very much there but the paralysis slowly wearing off*
Minerve: This is why you should not stand in my way, mortals.
*whispers loud enough so Min can hear*
You're not better than me, you may live longer and you make be stronger but you are not better than me. We are both exactly the same, we are both monsters who hurt others.
*takes no notice of Min's words, still in pain*
*twitches*
Minerve: I disagree.
(I must be off. farewell!)
*the pain leaves enough for her to think*
*Phaestra your sister is a bitch...*
*twitches more*
*groans and cries out a little more*
But you would, because you've convinced yourself that you're not a monster. At least I have the decency to accept who I am.
*moans and curls up slightly*
(Farewell Prince of Plants.)
*rolls back in*
I disappeared to watch a movie. Apologies. Msd
(hey snow.)
(Wow...it's late, I should sleep. Goodnight.)
(Goodnight raven)
Minerve: So, vampire, have you reconsidered the summoning of my army?
Did I all the violence? Awww
*takes a while to answer, waiting until all the pain has gone and all the paralysis*
*doesn't get up*
I will not summon your army Min.
..you can't summon it yourself, can you?
(yep you did Snow. Although you didn't miss first comment)
(I want to sleep now... But I don't want to... I want to stay up all night and cry because of everything that has happened...
And because I hate who I am.)
(*hugs Dan* we love who you are...)
(Hell)
Minerve: It can only be summoned by a mortal.
...*-so why not the others?-*
Oh. Well, good luck getting them here then.
(*huggles Danni*
*ponders what to ded to*)
(I will be back soon.)
I dedicate this page to all the little intricacies that the conversations with online friends hold. All the hidden jokes and the weird puns. All the decoding of sentences to work out someone needs support. All the smiling and frowning at screens. I dedicate this page to the kind of language you can only learn online.
Here here.
*nods*
*hums*
*feels kinda useless*
*hugs Snow*
*stares at her for a long time in an attempt to convey the words she wishes for snow to say without saying them herself*
*looks slightly puzzled at Tempest*
Hello Blaze the ghost.
*hugs Arnold*
This is not the Blaze you are looking for.
Blaze is suggesting via Twitter we kiss Arnold. We may have to murder him.
*hugs snow back*
O_O
Hey yeah no let's not.
*wacks Fletchduggery up the side of the head*
*viciously murders Arnold*
Sorry, had to stop the shipping before it got a name.
*dead*
(Now I've been murdered by BOTH by band mates...)
We do so love you. Plus, now you have an excuse for murdering us later on.
(BTG Fans: *gasp in horror as pictures of the dead drummer fly across social media* *cry* *buy the tribute album and cry more*)
OUCH!
*recoils*
Damn it Valracen!
I wasn't even talkin about you... I mean I was talking about Sakyrie and James Bond
*looks up hopefully*
Oh my god blaze, I swear I will hurt you
(Clara: *basks in the money and fame brought by the drummers death*)
*hides in well*
(Clara: *gleefully sells my possessions for money*)
*brings Arnold back to life*
*covers the well*
*glares at Jason*
You made the fans cry
I think we got off on the wrong foot
*screams from well*
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY KISS RN GUYS
*uncovers well*
*drops a big rock down the well*
*covers well*
*opens the well*
*drops a bolder down*
*closes it again*
The fans love crying, Arnold. They loved it.
You turned the Clarente fangirls into conspirisist. They think it was a hoax to get Viv of my back to be with Clara -_-
*regenerates*
