The Review Competition

A few hours ago I was sent the finalists for the Gordon Edgley Book Review competition, where people had to review books that they (or anyone else) had never actually read. These reviews were BRILLIANT. We got some of the best, most imaginative responses back, and it was not easy picking winners.

But picking winners is what I had to do, and so the winners are Patricia Snake, Sophie Carter, Ella Corkum and Katie Roberts-Malpass.

Huge congratulations to the winners, and a huge congratulations to EVERYONE who entered. You have kept me entertained...!

Blake.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Good morning love, and I realize this, but I missed you. *kisses neck*

Inky Flame said...

(its from little shop of horrors)

Jophiel said...

I know you missed me, but that doesn't mean that you should try as kill Sil.

*She blushed from the kids and flicked Loki's nose*

Bad. And don't think kissing will make up for that, but you're welcome to try.

Jophiel said...

*and

*kiss

Garret Falcone said...

(well me and Tawnee (one of Inkys characters)are together.)

(your welcome Inks :) (

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Good, I hate to be eaten again.


I apologize, Rose. Perhaps- *Leif appears on Rose's head* Leif.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Gnarly dude. *grins*
Blake! Children! I wish to see my beautiful niece and nephew!

Emerald Melody said...

Snow said...

*rolls*

I have many vlogs and videos to put out. And I'm filming another today.

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: what ice cream are you having?

Garret Falcone said...

Well ice cream wise, i like vanilla and mint choc chip (nom) so that's what i recommend, love.

Jophiel said...

*She laughed and pulled Leif off her head and into her arms*

You cheeky baby!

*She squealed and blew raspberries on her son's stomach, then looked at Loki, grinning*

Perhaps what?

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *thinks* mint choc chip sounds interesting, ill have that please

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I really forgot...

Leif: *giggles happily*

((Sigh. Food.

Garret Falcone said...

I'm going to let you pick first.

Jophiel said...

(Of course I'd like to continue, Em! Why would you think otherwise?)

Emerald Melody said...

just asking.

so i think it was your turn to reply.

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *smiles* mint choc chip sounds awesome

Garret Falcone said...

Ok 2 mint choc chips please
guy behind the counter: sure thing, *gets the 2 ice creams*
me: *pays and gives one to Taw*

Jophiel said...

My forgetful king. I should write all these amazing qualities down somewhere...

*She kissed his nose and rested her head against his shoulder, holding Leif tight*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

John said...

(Sorry for being so distant, homework + video games + this = distracted J.)

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *smiles* Thank you, sweetie
*eats icecream*

Garret Falcone said...

(its all cool J)
(Hello soph, how are you?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(hello Soph!)

*cant be bothered being subtle anymore*
*minerve minerve minerve minerve Minerve*

Garret Falcone said...

*smiles* your welcome *starts eating ice cream*

Star Inkbright said...

(Do male teenagers get more pocket money than female teenagers?
Because there's this social convention that males have to pay for females.
So surely by fairness they should get more money . . . ?
But then that's not fair on the parents I guess.
:
:S Idk, I think it's a stupid social convention, to be honest . . .)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am average. Yourself?)


Minerve: *shadows leak from Silente, landing on the floor in front of her* *the shadows solidify into her form*

Phaestra: Hello, sister.

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: mmmm this is delicious *manages to get ice cream on her cheek*

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Star! That is an interesting thought)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Star - unfortunately, I am not exactly experienced in the concept of dates.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*unflinchingly draws the revolver Tanya gave her pointing it straight for Min's head and pulling the trigger knowing full well it won't kill her*
Bitch.

Jophiel said...

Isn't Lorcan so much better? He's great. He is so wonderful and look how caring he is to you! You lucky normal people with fathers...

*She thought of her foster-father, a stout middle-aged man with tightly cropped black hair*

That guy... He was mean...


*She smiled at Marrok's giggled and ruffled his hair, making way for a kiss to the forehead*

You're a beautiful little thing, ain't ya, wolfy? You are, now open wide!

*She lifted the last spoonful of pasta into Marrok's mouth, kissed his nose again when he swallowed, and sat back down to eat her own*

Well, gotta ask Rudolf right here here for the recipe. I'd steal it too, but I'd end up stealing the entire person...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: *tilts head, spitting out the bullet* That was hardly necessary, my pet.

Garret Falcone said...

(I think the male buys things because they are being polite (this could be bias coming from me) but i think both sexes should get equal amounts of pocket money)
*takes a tissue from my pocket and wiles Taw's face* there you go
(Inks, email.)

Emerald Melody said...

i'm. still. not. sure. how. i. feel. about. this. with. mother. being. so. upset. but. this. is. nice.

*Once dinner was over, Roland offered tea and coffee. Lorcan and Chase offered to clear up as Emerald moved around to sit beside Rose.*

Emerald: I still can't thank you enough. This has all been wonderful. And I was wondering, and feel free to tell me if I'm overstepping my boundary but could I help or give the kids their bedtime bath?

*Lorcan came back in, wiping his hands in a towel.*

Lorcan: I, um, I left a plate of food for Casha in the microwave in case she's hungry later.

Inky Flame said...

(I replied)
Tawnee: Oops *smiles* thanks
*eats ice cream too fast* b brain freeze!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I am not your pet.

Garret Falcone said...

(ok)
*laughs*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I do have amazing qualities, so does Leif.

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *giggles* Ice cream is nice, but messes with your head.
*points to a seat* shall we sit there? we can watch the sun on the water

Star Inkbright said...

(Yes, but I think the females can be polite too?
Of course, if a female was on a date with a male and the male refused to pay for the female beacuse he thought it was unfair, the female would probably think he was rude so . . .
-_-
Poor males. They can't win.

@Sophia: Um, I've never even BEEN on a date, but. :P)

Inky Flame said...

(OMG THUNDER AND LIGHTENING! I LOVE THUNDER AND LIGHTENING!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Minerve: *an orb of light appears in her hand* I think differently.

(I've been on two. And I paid half each time. *shudders* Dates are horrible. Too many social conventions.)

Garret Falcone said...

(true point there star but the male is most of the time willing to pay)
ok *walks over to the bench with her*

Inky Flame said...

(Ive never been on one
*sighs* I have never experienced romance)

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *sits and rests head on his shoulder* this is heaven

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No. YOU called off the deal. I'm not yours anymore.

Star Inkbright said...

@Inky: :) :)

@Sophia: I don't mind normal social conventions whilst being polite. I do mind the social convetions that normal people have and I don't, because I don't even know them. Dates . . . don't even go there. :O No one has ever informed me of the social conventions for a date, so if I ever go on one, it will probably fail.

@Garrett: I never said he wasn't. I just think it's unfair. :P

Garret Falcone said...

(you have thunder and lightning?
(here in Newport we have a few clouds and the moon)
(you like it?)

Jophiel said...

I'm sure your mum will get used to him. He's so sweet. Listen.

*She replayed the conversation she had with Lorcan on the balcony, a soft smile tugging at the corners of her lips*

He's lovely.


*She smiled at the boys, watching them clear the table. So polite, and warm and gentle. She reached over to pull Marrok from his seat and into her lap.

She turned to Emerald when she sat down beside her and smiled softy*

It's been our pleasure, Emerald. We have loved all you being over, so don't thank us. I'm just happy everyone is getting along. And of course you can help with their bath!

*She smiled up at Lorcan*

Thank you.

Star Inkbright said...

@Inky: Well, I think I'm possibly asexual, so . . . XD

Jophiel said...

()

Yes, both you and our son are pretty amazing sometimes.

*She leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss Loki's neck*

Stop being so tall...

Inky Flame said...

(I love thunder and lightening XD

really Star...? XD)

Star Inkbright said...

@Inky: Yup. :P

Emerald Melody said...

*Emerald clapped as she squealed slightly with excitement.*

Emerald: Oh thank you so much!!

*Lorcan laughed at his mother as he unbuckled Ariana from her chair. She touched his cheek lightly before she went into Emerald's arms and being smothered by kisses.*

Emerald: Oh I love this little girl so much, yes I do!!

*Ariana and Marrok giggled. Then Marrok yawned as he lay his head against Rose.*

Lorcan: Need me to do anything else for you Rose? I don't mind.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I despise, romance.)


Minerve: You cannot stop me keeping your life.

(There are really odd ones, Star.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*picks Rose up* There, better now?

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: O_O
Oh dear. :P

Inky Flame said...

(I wouldn't have uessed Soph ^^

I like romance

I sent u an email Gar)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*growls at Min*
I am NOT your pet.

Star Inkbright said...

^That was @the odd ones.

Garret Falcone said...

*rests head on Taws and puts arm over her shoulder*
yes this is heaven
(emails Inks :)(
(True story: I've never been on a date before.)

Inky Flame said...

(Gar, come out come out wherever you aren't!)

Star Inkbright said...

@Garrett: Me too. :P

Inky Flame said...

(that's sucky timing

I dedicate to dates and those brilliant singles here. May you find true happiness some day!)

Garret Falcone said...

(cheers butt, i find thunder and lightning quite cool)

Jophiel said...

*She laughed at Emerald's reaction to Ariana and held her own boy closer. She looked at him when he yawned and she adjusted her arms to make him more comfortable*

I think you can have your bath tomorrow... You're tired. You might fall asleep in the bath, love.

*She grinned at Lorcan when he offered to do something else for her*

Well, you can punch Roland for me. That's always an option. Just a light little tap because he was being evil. Do not be fooled by his amazing good looks and sweet face, that man is the spawn of Satan. You should seen what evil things he can do... But then again, you wouldn't want to.

So, no, there's nothing more you can do. I promised Roland I'd clean tonight, so you can sit back and relax!

Inky Flame said...

(The thing is, I went out with this guy in yr 7 but it was awks cos we didn't hug or anything ^^.)

Garret Falcone said...

(Hear Hear)

Jophiel said...

()

*She grinned at Loki and kissed his chest*

Much better. But now I'm like two meters off the ground. If you drop me, I'll hit the ground and die. Your son, however, will have a very squishy landing.

Inky Flame said...

(hehe thanks)

Star Inkbright said...

Um
#asexual

Hear hear. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*is totally a play-arrrr*)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I cannot win with you.

Leif: Momma!!!

Inky Flame said...

(And also, my friend has been out with lots of guys and im like...not one would ask me out...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear!)

*cuddles Rose*

Jophiel said...

(Only 'real' relationship lasted six days. He asked me out. Then he broke up with me saying he wasn't ready for a relationship.

Then the next morning, he had already asked out my best friend.)

Garret Falcone said...

(well that's a shame, I'm sure your very nice to cuddle (in a friendly way) (email as well).
*looks out at the sunset* there are two beautiful things here, do you know what they are?

Jophiel said...

Inky Flame said...

(thanks *curtseys*_)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(aww *hugs Flick* *casually sets her romantic past alightj *except for one relationship which she just hides*)

Star Inkbright said...

Everyone at school thinks I'm a total weirdo . . . which is mostly to do with the fact I'm a total weirdo. XD So they'd never ask me out anyway.

Jophiel said...

()

No. You can't win. Because I'm mean and horrible and I ruin everything. That's why you can't win.

LEIF!!!!

(*Cuddles Tia*
Don't be scary....)

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: the view...and you!
(*sighs* I could do with a boyfriend but what is meant for me I will have)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Rose I'm... scary?)

Emerald Melody said...

Lorcan: Oh you don't have to clean. Me and dad did that.

*Emerald had just turned around to walk to the bathroom, when Ariana let off a big yawn as well.*

Emerald: Oh dear, I guess no baths tonight Rose. Too many new faces for the little ones.

*Lorcan smiled at Ariana as she cuddled up against Emerald. He was still getting used to the idea of being a father but he was slowly falling in love with that little girl.*

Lorcan: Hey mam, why don't you go have your coffee with dad, I'll put her to bed.

*Emerald smiled as she stroked Ariana's head. She gave her a kiss and whispered goodnight as she passed her to Lorcan. Ariana cuddled right up on his shoulder, her eyes very sleepy as he walked to her bedroom.*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Star you are a bit weird...Yey!

My longest relationship was my first...
But I'm not sure it counts because of age...
We were relationship-y but people would say it didn't count probably...)

Inky Flame said...

(*hugs Sil*
*hugs Star*
*hugs everyone*
But you are awesome Star!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Sophia Check out the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 - I have a feeling it will be right up your alley)

Garret Falcone said...

(*bows* your welcome and Star your not a weirdo)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey! Leif is behaving!

Leif: Play! *takes out a dagger he stole from Daddy*

Star Inkbright said...

@Sil: XD Yeah. XD *hugs*

Garrett
if there is one thing I am certain of as far as my certainty in my identity goes . . .
Well, there's more than one thing, and I can never be totally certain about anything, but I'm pretty damn certain I'm a weirdo. :P

Garret Falcone said...

(exactly Inks, be like a sloth and wait for things to happen)
*looks at Taw* i was going to say the same thing about you *gives her a kiss*

Garret Falcone said...

(ahh but everybody is weird in there own way.)

Inky Flame said...

(A sloth...*takes notes* that's something I will keep with me)
Tawnee: *kisses him*
*runs hand through his hair*

Garret Falcone said...

(ahh but everybody is weird in there own way.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Garrett: I know. I'm weird in my own way, and that is a very weird way. :P

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

@Star you're not weird, you're just fun! :)

Garret Falcone said...

(ok *winks* ;) (
*continues kiss, running a hand through her hair*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*showers everyone with awesome points*
Careful! They're sharp!)

Star Inkbright said...

I'm weird and I'm generally too serious to be fun, Tia. :P

Garret Falcone said...

(Tia has hit the nail on the head here.)

Star Inkbright said...

:O!
*ducks and hides from the awesome points*

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee* kisses along his jawline*

Jophiel said...

My lord, you men really do know how to treat a woman. Here I am, just sitting here, and you do all the jobs I had planned... You all deserve dessert. Once I put this little tike away, I'll whip something up.

*She stood and followed Lorcan. She pointed out Ariana's room while she took Marrok to his. She placed him in his cot and pulled the blankets up around him.

She was leaning over his cot when she heard something on the window. An odd tapping noise. Almost like fingernails*

Lorcan...? Can you please get Roland for me...?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*gives star an umbrella*)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Xan ^^ how are you? And thanks)

Garret Falcone said...

(*pulls out umbrella and shields Inks, star and myself from the points*)
*looks deeply into Taws eyes* i love you.

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello Xan)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(hey Xan!)

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan had settled Ariana into bed and kissed her tonight when he heard Rose.*

Lorcan: Yeah sure, I'll go get him now.

*A few minutes later, Roland came into Marrok's room and started slowing down when he heard the noise on the window*

Roland: Rose...?

Jophiel said...

()

Wow, he's definitely your son... Already playing with knives.

*She rolled out of Loki's arms and sat Leif on the ground, weary of the baby with the dagger*

I'm sure your daddy would love to play with knives with you. I, however, am going to seek out daddy's brother. I need to talk with the almighty Thor.

Inky Flame said...

(Thanks Gar)
Tawnee: I love you too *looks deep
Into his eyes*

Inky Flame said...

(I am good, but sleepy )

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Very well, go down to the throne room.

Zanida: *playing with Thor

Garret Falcone said...

(A funny clip:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bG6ICFL7AdI#)

Garret Falcone said...

*shadow walks back to the house*

Inky Flame said...

(Indeed it can)
Tawnee: *smiles*

Jophiel said...

Roland... I want you to stay with them... I'll be back in a moment, okay...?

*She turned, leaned up to kiss his cheek, and hurried down the stairs. She jogged out the front door and into the night, looking at Marrok's window.

No. Nothing there.

There was a chuckle behind her and she whirled, only to face herself*

Rose: You. How did you...?

Judhipor: Survive the bullet? Oh, I'm a master in sigils, dear. Like I would die by a measly bullet wound. But you...? I did something to yours...

Rose: I know...

Jophiel said...

()

Throne room, alright.

*She left Loki and Leif to play while she walked towards the Throne Room. She pushed open the doors, grinning*

Grand entrances are so my thing.

*She smiled at Thor and Zanida, waved, then pointed to the former*

Mind if I have a word with you, Thor? Just some random things that have been going through my mind...

Emerald Melody said...

*Roland frowned but he trusted Rose. He kissed Marrok gently on the head as he went back down into the front room.

As he came down, Chase was still coughing but he then winced in pain afterwards. It was concerning for Roland but he didn't pry just yet as Emerald seemed to be in control.*


*Casha had heard the voices outside as she woke up. She then got up and headed to the balcony. She gasped when she saw Rose talking to herself but she knew who it was. She started getting angry and was extremely tempted to take her head off in flight.
But she didn't.

She did however spread her wings and flew down to stand behind Rose. She growled at Judhipor.*

Casha: You bitch!!

Garret Falcone said...

*gives Taw a kiss before hiding somewhere in the house* *leaves note*
Note: come and find me.

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee : *reads notr* childish
*goes searching for him*

Jophiel said...

*They both turned to look at Casha, Rose's eyes were almost angry, while Judhipor laughed*

Rose: Casha! You should be sleeping! Back! Sleep. Everything will be fine here. I'll deal with this.

*Rose plastered a smile onto her face and pointed towards the house*

Judhipor: 'Bitch' is such a mediocre word... I've been called worse, and will be called ever more worse things, especially when you find out what I did to her.

Rose: What the fuck did you do to me??

*Judhipor laughed and ran back into the darkness. Rose looked after her, shaking*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Certainly, come with me. *heads outside*

Garret Falcone said...

*jumps out* SURPRISE!!

Jophiel said...

()

*She followed Thor and started to fiddle with her shirt, nervous. Who wouldn't be nervous around someone who could make you into a fried-thing with his odd and godly hammer, or whose arm muscles were wider than your face?*

John said...

*Carpet bombs the forest*
*Totally not with Zaf's bombs*

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *squeals and laughs * gar!!
( I better go no incase my parents. Catch me
Night everyone *hugs*)

Jophiel said...

(Blake, you're dead.)

Garret Falcone said...

(email Inks)

John said...

(For taking Zaf's explosives or using them to blow stuff up? I think both would warrant a death penalty.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*pokes Blake* lira and Lucas)

John said...

(*Pokes Sil* Are at home sleeping soundly under the watchful eye of Chi's ice clone and a few dozen barriers of my own.)

Garret Falcone said...

(good night Inks *hugs*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*pokes Blake* I miss them.)

John said...

(Hello Xan, how're you?)

*Disappears with the usual flash of light*

*Reappears holding Lira and Lucas, both looking sleepy yet happy in their father's arms*

(Better?)

Emerald Melody said...

*Casha started shaking again, a combination of fear and anger towards Judhipor. She fell onto her knees, they couldn't hold her up any more.*


*Lorcan walked back from the bathroom when he heard Ariana in her room. She was crying. He slowly walked in and saw her sitting up in her cot, crying hard.

Lorcan picked her up gently and held her close to him. He started rocking her gently while he whispered.*

Lorcan: What's the matter little girl? Bad dream eh? Oh dear...

*Her cry seemed like a pained cry as she held herself tightly into Lorcan. He sat with her on the rocking chair, gently stroking her hair and rubbing her back.*

Lorcan: Someone is in pain, are you hurting somewhere sweetie? Are you sore?

John said...

(Horrible, as is the norm these days. Glad to hear you're alright, though.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles at the twins*
Hello you two cuties! Aww look at you! You've grown!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: What's going on, Rose? You can talk.


((*stabs Blake to death, hacks his body and feeds it to mutt penguins, then smiles*-Zaf

John said...

Wait till you see this.

*He hoists Lira up onto his shoulders, setting Lucas on his feet, he wobbles, but stays upright*

Walk to auntie Sil, Lucas. Go on.

*He gestures to Sil, Lucas looking over with a curious expression and sucking on his thumb*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh my god he can stand!!!
*crouches down, grinning*
Come here Lucas!

Jophiel said...

*She turned to hug Casha tightly, frightened of what her counter-part had done to her*

Come on... Come on... We need to take you inside...

*She scooped Casha into her arms, still surprised with the ease that came from it, and carried her to the sofa*

I'll be back in a second, okay...?

*She walked up the stairs and, after hearing Ariana's cries, into the child's room. She saw Lorcan and Ariana close*

Lorcan... Can I be a pain for a moment and ask you to comfort Casha...? I'll take Ariana.

John said...

(You really need to ask, Xan?)

Jophiel said...

()

Thor...

*She took a deep breath and looked around, making sure no one could hear her*

Why didn't you make Jane and goddess...? She could still be by your side...

Jophiel said...

()

Thor...

*She took a deep breath and looked around, making sure no one could hear her*

Why didn't you make Jane and goddess...? She could still be by your side...

John said...

Lucas: *Under his father's close watch, he stumbles over to Sil, stopping periodically to catch his balance. He grins up at her proudly and raises his hands, waiting to be picked up*

That's my boy...

Lira: *Pulls on Blake's hair, jealous of all the attention Lucas is getting*

Hey, no pulling... *Takes Lira off his shoulders and bounces her, causing her to giggle happily*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*picks Lucas up, grinning*
Well done! Who's a smart boy? Just like his mammy.
*bounces Lucas slightly*
*hoists him onto her shoulders, holding his legs and makes aeroplane noises, running around slowly*

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan frowned but he nodded.*

Lorcan: Yes of course.

*He gently passed Ariana into Rose's arms as he quickly went down to the front room to where Casha was.
Emerald was hunkered down in front of her, holding her hands but she was shaking so badly.

He sat down beside her.*

Lorcan: Are you okay? Do you want a glass of water or food?

*She shook her head as her whole body was just shaking.
Lorcan knew it was against his better judgement but he placed his hand on her shoulder.
She screamed slightly as she stood but as soon as she stood away from him, her knees gave out again.

Roland picked her up quickly and carried her back into her room.
Lorcan sat with his head in his hands while Emerald rubbed his arm.*

Lorcan: So much for comforting her...

Emerald: She has gone through so so much sweetie, you just have to take the reactions as they come. They aren't a reflection on you.

Garret Falcone said...

(I'm going to disappear now good night everybody.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: I did not wish to force her to leave Midgard, she was happy there, and I too. When she died, I knew she was going to wait for me in Valhalla. I found Zanida, and well...I guess fate never intended me to make Jane one of us.

Jophiel said...

*She held Ariana close to her and buried her face into the child's hair. What was going to happen to her? Would she hurt the others?

When she heard Casha's scream, her heart seemed to stop in her chest. What she had done was stupid. Of course she shouldn't have sent Lorcan down there. She didn't realise that two and two...

She let her tears fall into Ariana's hair and hugged her tightly. She took Lorcan's place in the rocking chair, pulled her legs under her, and rocked slowly, crying*

Emerald Melody said...

*Ariana was still crying in pain as well. She held on tightly to Rose.*

my. head. hurts. so. much. make. it. stop. it's. hurting. me

*She cried again, in much more pain as she cuddled more into Rose.*

*Lorcan had started crying himself, not openly loud or anything. He looked at Emerald.*

Lorcan: Mam, I just want to go home. I'm making things worse for her and it's not fair on her or Ariana or the baby.

Emerald: Oh Lorcan...

*Emerald hugged her son tightly against her.*

Jophiel said...

()

*She nodded slowly, listening to Thor's words. She took his hand and put hers against it, looking at the size difference*

But... Didn't you try and convince her...? You two could still be together... But then Zan... And you wouldn't have...

*She shook her head and looked away*

Why me...? Why did both brothers fall in love with Midgardians...? Why couldn't you marry Sif and he... I dunno... Marry someone from here? No there won't be a pure Asgardian sitting on the throne after you, or after us. Loki's from Jutonheim and I'm from Midgard. It shouldn't work like that.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: What does it matter, Rose? I made my choice as the king, I did it for the sake of my realm. Loki was always better suited for the throne.

Jophiel said...

*She got up and walked into Marrok's room, placing her in the cot beside him. She didn't know what to do.*

Roland? I need your help...

*She sighed heavily and watched Ariana cry, and let her own tears drip onto the blankets covering Marrok*

I'm sorry, dear... I don't know why your head hurts... Is it because of the pressure...? From the silver...?

((*laughs at how Blake is punished by Zaf but not I*))

John said...

(*Smashes a tree over Sil's head*
*Whistles innocently*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((*dodges the tree with inhuman speed*))

*Ariana quietened down slightly as she didn't want to wake up Marrok.*

it's. so. painful.

*He then let Rose hear the hissing noise that she was hearing inside her ear. She was tempted to let Rose feel the pain she was experiencing but decided against it.*

Jophiel said...

I'm just confused, that's all... I'm confused and I don't understand why...

*She rested her head in her hands and groaned*

I don't understand anything over here... I don't understand why I'm here, or what's happening, or why I and Zan were just about sold as sex slaves or whatever happened. The fact remains, that here, I'm actually scared to be outside.

I. Am. Scared. To. Be. Outside.

John said...

(*Swings it at her with divine speed*)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Rose, I know not what to tell you. I just know that Zanida is just as afraid. Rose....do not be afraid.

Jophiel said...

(Wifi problems... Sorry...)

*She winced as she heard the hissing. She could feel the headache coming on already*

I'm sorry Ariana, but I don't know what to do. Stay here for a sec, alright?

*She turned and walked out of Marrok's room, looking for Roland. She opened each room that she passed, hoping he would be in one.

She found him in Casha's room, but she instantly darted away.

No. She couldn't face Casha after sending Lorcan down...

She went back to Ariana's room and picked her up, holding her close*

I'm sorry, angel... I don't know what to do...

Jophiel said...

Don't be afraid? Did you just tell me not to be afraid?!

*She turned and glared at Thor*

I don't get scared! That's the thing! I've been tortured, murdered, shot, stabbed, kidnapped and I wasn't scared. But now I am!! None of this would have happened if I hadn't have come here!

*She turned and stalked away, hunching her shoulders due to her being outside, and hurried towards Heimdall. She needed to go home*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Damn it. *runs after Rose, obviously quicker* Rose, calm down and talk to me. Heimdall isn't even at the Bifrost.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((*ducks*))

I don't want to talk to you!! I want to go home!

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*pulls Elleni and Sil into a hug*

*smiles* See, we can all get happily along!

((Hi and I hope you're all well!))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Go talk to Loki. Please.

Leif: *appears on Momma's head*

Jophiel said...

I don't want to talk to Loki either. I. Want. To. Go. Home. Why can't you understand that?

*She groaned when she felt Leif on her head. She pulled him off and handed him to Thor*

Don't drop him.

*The she turned and ran down the rainbow bridge, determined to wait for Heimdall*

Thor: What the....

Leif: *vanishes and appears on Momma crying* Momma stay!!

Leif, go back to your uncle. I'll be back later. Or go to your father, even. I'm going to go home.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Leif: No. Momma stay here....I love you, Momma. Kari too!

Jophiel said...

(Now it's an error 503...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((I don't have anything, are you guys using laptops/computers? I'm on my iPod Touch.-Zaf

Jophiel said...

I love you too, Leif, but you're staying here. I'm going home. I'll be back later.

*She pried Leif off her and passed him back to Thor*

Stay!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Leif: *appears right back on Momma* No!

Jophiel said...

(I'm on both laptop and iPod...)

Jophiel said...

Leif!! No!! Go back to Loki or Thor now!!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Weird...maybe Derek is posting? We usually have issues when he goes on and writes a new post.-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Leif: No. I want Momma!!!!

Jophiel said...

Leif!! No. Go back now. I am your mother and you will do what you're told.

*She looked at Thor*

Help?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thor: Leif, come here.

Leif: No! *starts crying again* Momma might not come home....

Jophiel said...

I'll come back, okay? You take care of daddy and your sister.

*She pulled Leif off her and gave him to Thor. Then she turned and sprinted the rest of the way down the rainbow bridge*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Leif: Okay. I love you.


Heimdall: You wish to go to Midgard?

Jophiel said...

*She nodded to Heimdall*

Yes. And I assume you saw everything? I'm going to spend a bit of time away from here...

Actually, I want to go to Vanaheim.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Heimdall: As you wish, my queen. I am under oath to report this to Loki.

((Sorry, we heard voices and so we went to investiaget.-Zaf

Jophiel said...

Whatever. Tell him if you want... Just send me to Vamaheim.

(Scary...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Heimdall: *sends over*

Jophiel said...

*She started walking through the trees, muttering to herself*
