Give in? To you? NEVER!
*grabs a treeroot and those pesky sigils fade to life, robbing Blake and everyone else of energy*
*starts healing and laughs, not thinking of the danger this puts the twins in*
*Recalls the scenario in the forest, the sigils, and what could have happened*
*As he falls, a glow begins to shine in his eyes. Just as he reaches the ground, he stops dead, floating motionless in the air*
Are you brainless? Or just incredibly forgetful?
*She looked at Sil and frowned, her lack of magic making her immune*
Why are you two fighting...?
*She took a step back, fearful of erring herself hurt*
*looks at the floating blake*
Uh oh...
*turns the sigils off*
*He floats into an upright position, looking down on her with an emotionless face*
Aufer vincula.
*Four bracelets hidden under his cloak, one on each of his wrists and ankles, slowly widen and float off his person. Once fully removed, they drop to the ground and lose their glow. His body erupts in power, blasting back anything and everything within a ten meter radius and making another crater attached to the previous one*
You have precisely ten seconds to come up with an indisputable reason for me to restrain myself.
*is sends flying back*
*scrambles to her feet and runs for her life, literally*
*Vanishes because logarithmic laws are somehow more wanting of her*
*with a low "thump" caused by the sudden displacement of air, he appears in front of her*
Five seconds remain.
*backs up*
*spins and dives head first through a portal that snaps closed behind her, closing on the toe of her boot, leaving behind some rubber sole*
(Hey! I might be back for a bit!
I feel so much better... it was not a good reason to get upset.. and I was starving so...
Yeah. But better now!!!)
*floats waiting for her on the other side, having passed through before she had*
Time is up, your silence has earned you death.
*he grabs her by the throat, remaining expressionless as the sheer power emanating from his body begins to tear away at hers*
One would think that by now it would be common practice to avoid threatening and endangering my children at all costs, and yet you fools persist.
(This is non canon right? O.o)
(hey Dug)
*screams and thrashes, beating at Blake as hard as she can, with enough power behind her punches to break through someones skull*
STOP BLAKE STOP!
(Yeah, although Blake would be going AWOL canon or no - J)
(yes dug. This is non cannon. Look. *points at the rp switch which is switched to non cannon*)
Your cried are too little too late.
*his grip tightens, restricting her air flow and preventing her from speaking properly*
Die.
(Just checking! :))
(Cries*)
*eyes bulge*
*claws at Blakes hand, fingernails ripping his flesh, legs kicking out*
St- .......o-........p....
(*hugs duggy* you okay now?)
(Yeah. A little meh but better. I just don't think about....)
(You sure?)
(Yeah..)
(So I don't have to buy a passport, fly to whichever part of America you live in, track you down and tickle you?)
(Sorry to cut this short but I'm falling asleep at my desk... Goodnight, I'll be back when my alarm wakes me ridiculously early so I can see Chi ^_^)
(Good night Blake. See you when you wake.)
Oh god what ever you DON'T TICKLE ME!!!!!!!!!!
And actually yes, yes you do! :))))) :P
I wish.... I want to meet you in rl so bad. I met Elleni though so we know it can be done!!
(Pie Blake!!)
Btw... what are you doing up so early Sil?! Don't you sheep!?
(Of course it can be done! My plan;
-Meet Draggie (and therefore Sophia)
-Meet Star
-Uni in Glasgow with Blake Chi and Xan in the year above me. Maybe share a flat with Chi. (if I can afford)
-Possibly leap year in Australia and meet Matex
-Once uni is over build up money
-See Elleni and Dug
-See Clara and Snow
-Make more plans)
(Try being expected to wake up at 5am every morning and going to sleep ridiculously late... Because people on here want to roleplay with you....
Blake. Don't complain. Or hint at complaining. Because I am in a foul mood right now.)
(*laughs at Dug* no i don't sheep. Or sleep. It's fine. I'll pass out soon.)
(*nods slowly*
Look oookkkk....)
(Hey Deathy! How do you survive on so little sheep?!)
i dont.
Yay! I wanna meet other people on the blog so badly...
Though it was kinda awkward with Elleni! XD
Ah.... You should sheep more! Really! I love talking and/or role playing with you, but you might feel better with more sheep!
ive tried to go to bed earlier. tried to sleep in one morning. 'Has anyone seen Rose?'
i need sleep. i cant get it because of you guys.
"Why can't you try harder!! I blame myself!"
And now she's going to cry.
---
If I'm not on here early, people worry. They send emails. The emails wake me up.
I can't escape this world. It is stuck. My iPod goes off. Then my phone. Then my laptop in the other end of the room starts to go off and wakes everyone up.
Rose, power them down. Sleep. Please.
sleep means nightmares, anyway.
I wont be on much tomorrow, either. There is a show at the showgrounds. A few of my friends and I are getting there early and staying until late.
Maybe I will die on Speed... I already get thrown against the harness every time...
(Hello.)
I'll try to work on times when we can meet, Dugglyn.
Death, lack of sleep is often a contributor to negative emotions such as the ones you seem to be experiencing.
Also, I'm gonna make you a dreamcatcher. I'm not sure what it will do from all the way over here, though. Maybe I'll send it to the Australian friends of the family so it'll at least be in the right country. We only send them packages in early November, but that's not too too far away.
(Hello Fabi.)
(I will continue to be here.)
Hello Sophia.
(How are you?)
(Soy sauce me Poof, grandpa came!!! :))))
Not here now, sheep is calling me!
Baaahhhh!)
(Hello/Goodbye, Dugglyn?)
Tired... Sorry... Bye...
(Goodbye Fabi.)
(I will continue to be here.)
(Sorry for falling asleep again Sophia..)
*winces when Min touches her and her skin rolls away*
*tries to kick Min*
((...that's just annoyingly ironic.))
(I am back.)
Minerve: *keeps her grip tight*
(sorry! Weird half dream happened..)
*pulls against min*
*slaps min with hee other hand, hard*
(Hello Raven. How are you?)
(I'm great, it's the weekend and I just finished the first week of home so weeew! How are you?)
Minerve: *grasps Silente by the throat, the skin of her neck receding*
*term. Not home.
(Hahahaha I'm so happy.)
*gags, struggling, kicking Min*
(Ah shit.
I'm in an odd mood - probably translating as worse than average, thank you.)
Minerve: *keeps her grip tight* You cannot fight, mortal. *throws her away*
*rolls and comes back to a standing position*
I AM NOT YOUR POSSESSION!
(I dedicate this page to logic.)
Minerve: And I disagree.
CAN'T I MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU'RE HAVING DELUSIONS OF GRANDURE
(Hello Snow.)
(WICKED!!!)
I. Am not. Your possession, bitch.
((hey soph))
((WICKEDDDD))
((plus, that also kinda seems appropriate for whats happening right now))
(It does kinda fit I must admit.)
Minerve: *a glowing white orb appears in her hand* I own you.
That could be anyone. You have no proof that its me. And even if it is you don't OWN me.
Minerve: Your very existence is mine. I know your thoughts, your feelings and your memories. How is the mortal named James?
James? I don't bloody well know. You know nothing about me Minerve. My existance is not yours. A glowy ball representing my existance might be, but my existance is not.
Minerve: I know everything about you. I know what you did to your family, what James did to you... I even know what happened when James and Erica took away your good side. Didn't you feel so much more powerful? Isn't that something you wish to replicate?
No. It isn't. I am not the person they made me. I am my own person, with both good and dark.
Minerve: You disagreed at the time. I wonder... *separates the glowing orb into two, then fits them back together* I can give you that power again. You can kill and torture any mortals you like. That is something you want, yes?
By pretending to be good - you are only delaying the inevitable. Let me help you fulfil your potential.
(*isn't in London* *sad face :(*)
(Does Minerve know her favourite colour? Whether she prefers sausage fools cold or hot? Does she put on one sock and then one shoe or both socks and the both shoes?
I don't think she knows any of this and therefore she knows nothing.)
No! I...I don't care about killing or torture. Not anymore. I don't want to go back to being a monster. I am not a monster!
(I am in west (?) Yorkshire. Near Draggie/Sophia/minerve/phrastra/*insert characters here*)
Minerve: Stop pretending, mortal. You tortured your friend only because I asked you to. You cut off your arm and ate your own flesh. You are a monster, deep down.
(Approximately 7 miles away, Silente.)
I am not a monster. Monsters don't feel love. Don't give a damn. I am not a monster.
(you did the math?)
Minerve: Is that what you believe?
(MathS. And yes.)
Yes. It is.
Minerve: I am a monster by your definition, am I not? Would it surprise you to know that I was once in a relationship of a sort with the god of destruction? We watched Vesuvius explode together and everything get covered in ash.
How very romantic. You loved him?
Minerve: In a way, yes. So please explain how I would fit your definition of a monster.
*sighs*
You don't...or you didn't...but now..
(blogland.)
Minerve: Embrace your power. Become the monster - you will not regret it. These mortals are beneath you. You should be ruling like a Queen. They should be serving you. They should be under your protection. Under your rule.
*shakes her head*
These mortals are my friends, not my subjects. If I tried rise up against them I would simply be put in stocks. I will not become a monster.
Minerve: They can be both. As a ruler, you could impose your own laws. You could protect your friends and reward them by giving them land. I could help you. Give you the power you need. The power you want.
I will not surpress my friends!
*is starting to look uncertain, although she's doing a good job of hiding it*
Minerve: A goddess? Hardly. You are nothing more than a mortal. A primitive creature.
Minerve: Suppressing them is not necessary. Help them by ruling over them. Give them protection - isn't that what you want? All it takes is a little power and the right advisor and you will be able to save this place from itself. Become the ruler. Help people. All it needs is a little darkness.
Minerve: I am ten billion years your elder, mortal. I do not die, even if my body is destroyed. You have no concept of being a goddess.
(Just woke up. Good morning, everyone!)
((And I'm really enjoying the rp, Soph and Sil.))
(Hello, Tia.)
*thinks about it*
*for a long time*
Protection....?
Minerve: You are a goddess of one place? I am the goddess of death. You say you will live for thousands of years - and I will be waiting for your arrival to my realm. No one escapes death.
Minerve: Yes, protection. I can give you an army. For defence. They can garrison this place, protecting everyone from harm. Is that not something you want?
It.. is..
But I am not a queen.
Minerve: I can give you the power to become one. You are a fitting ruler.
I'm...
*shakes her head to clear it*
I am not a fitting ruler.
Minerve: Do not pretend you know of me. I am more powerful than you could ever be. You may be imposing your authority on several areas, but my authority lasts for eternity.
Minerve: You are. Powerful. A strong leader. Liked by many. My my, you will be good.
(I have to leave, but will be back at 1:20 GMT.)
(okay soph)
I...no.
((talk about the devil on your shoulder!))
"Liked by many" *crumbles*
(@Rose Minerve is just being annoying again...)
((Well i can safely say you may have to stop Sil from doing something stupid.))
Who doesn't? :)
(@Sil I say go for it, so we can save you once you've realised you've made a mistake.)
(@Rose Sil: bring it. You have no authority over me.)
(*runs after Soph, shouting goodbye!*)
*glances at Rose*
Hey...
(Sil: *laughs* you're going to ask Loki to throw me in the dungeon? You realise the last time a bloglandian took me was Sophia. And her ship was blasted from orbit and destroyed. She herself was bloodied and bruised and i walked free.)
(Sil: *laughs again* on what charge? *puts on a baby voice* Woki de mean vampwire laughed at me! *laughs again*)
(*cough* Power-hungry *cough*)
*turns around* I'm not in a hugging mood. Sorry.
*rubs Rose's arms*
(*chants*
Fight! Fight! Fight!)
(Hey Raven and El!)
*sighs* It's just one of those days...
(Sil: *growls* maybe she's right! With people like you and Loki around thinking you can throw people in dungeons for no good reason! *shoves Deathy back a step* Who think you're better than us! *shove* just because you're bigger and stronger doesn't give you the right to treat us like children! Like toys! We aren't something you can throw away because we aren't following your rules Deathy! *shoves hard enough for her to fall flat on her butt*)
*keeps massaging her arms* Not really... I just need some time, that's all.
((Ooh, feisty!))
((@Rose Please avoid deleting comments if you can, deleted comments are the worst.))
(Sil: Let him try! The people of blogland care for their own! You choose to become a big headed goddess! You choose to stamp on the heads of people you see below you! If there's one thing I know about blogland its that you'll have a damn hard time getting anyone arrested sweet heart!)
((*facepalm* yes. That helped.))
(Rose has always treated people fairly. I think Minerve is fuelling the bad parts of you.)
((Let's hope this goes better than Macbeth.))
((Somehow Tia, I get the feeling this isn't going better than Macbeth. At this rate anyway. If Sil CALMS DOWN then maybe.))
(Sil: shut up J. I have a point.)
(What's this? More people making use of authority they don't have? Continue and I believe I'll be able to spare a few minuets to make it clear how little we like being told someone rules is.)
(Hey Blake.
Sil: Blake! I have a point do I not?)
(Sil: I will never kneel! Not before Loki and certainly not before YOU!)
(Of course you do. Why do you think I dislike Loki and Sophia so much? Rose is acting just like them right now. Personally, I'd like to see them give us a reason to bow. To get off their prissy little thrones and make us.)
(Queen if Asguard, yes. Not Earth. Here you have as much say as any of us. No more, no less.)
No, Rose. But I will be. I need time...
(@Sil Worship your Queen.)
(Sil: *breaks Death's wrist* I'd like to see you TRY and make me kneel!)
(Loki tried once, remember? As I recall, the majority of his army ran from the sight of me not ten minuets after I joined the battle.)
*keeps massaging her arms, ignoring her hand*
*has a dead look in his eyes*
Nothing happened. Just give me time. I'll be ok.
(Sil: If that's what it takes to make big headed morons like you and Loki see that you have no authority then yes. I am.)
(Bye, El!)
(Hello, Blake.
Can we avoid trying to kill each other? That would be great, thanks!)
(Sil: then stop trying to use your nonexistent authority against us.)
(If you're not looking to be beaten back to Asguard then do not exert authority you done have. We will resist it just like we always have with anyone stupid enough to try.)
*looks at Rose*
*says nothing*
(Stop squabbling, guys.)
(Sil: you have no authority in blogland!)
((Oh, god. I see what's about to go down.))
(You see, Rose; if she ever tries it I'll be having the same conversation with her. Nobody rules this place. Not now, not ever. Anyone who tries will have more than just me to get through.)
(Sil: YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE AND YOU KNOW IT ROSE!)
I will rule you all with an iron fist! YOU, OBEY THE FIST!
Hello? Blake?! Sil?! you there still?! please say you are!
CHI!!!!!!!!!
*tacklehugs*
Oh my god I've missed you so much...
(Forgive me but, we have a Blake.)
Hello Chi. Just one sec.
(SIL: AND I INVITE YOU TO TRY IT ROSE! YOU WIL NEVER RULE OVER BLOGLAND!)
*looks at Rose, the dead look in his eyes fading*
Rose, you're so... beautiful. You shouldn't waste your time on me.
*Tacklehugs Blake* Oh my baby i love you so much! how have you been?! *kisses him to death*
I'm so sorry, i'm so so sorry.
(Hello, Chi!)
(Sil: *sneers* (jesus sil stop!) Actually i was calling your bluff. Why would I want a fight that would endanger my loved ones?)
I've missed you... I've thought about you non-stop since we last saw each other.
*kisses her passionately*
I love you so, so much
(And you might want to remember what had happened every time someone has so much as threatened my children. If anyone you send harms them, I cut a path through everything directly to you.)
Oh Rose, you are so beautiful...
*leans in and kisses her*
I- ah... I'm sorry...
