Hello.
Ah, my poor neglected blog. How I have ignored you. Once you were the apple of my eye (okay, not really — the name of this blog is what it is, after all), but then along came Twitter and suddenly you seemed somewhat clunky and... unwieldy...
But see? I have returned. I've been away a lot, I know. Work. I had that book to publish (which went really well, by the way) and then all those tours, including a trip to New Zealand and Australia to meet all those readers with funny accents.
My life has been somewhat chaotic as of late, and when things get chaotic, some other things suffer. You, it seems, are one of these things.
But I'll try to rectify that. I really will. I'm home now, after all, and settling back into normal life. What normal life will bring me, though, I have no idea.

I am quite alright, thank you.
Sorry...I didn't mean to distract people...I'll leave..go back to rp and chatting..
(Good bye / night Inks)
(Hello El how be you?)
Hello, Mr Hewitt.
(Sil, that's not true. You're always here for me. Always. You always made me feel welcome. How can I make you feel better?)
(Sil don't disappear please, your not distracting anyone from anything)
Hello, Ruth.
You're WELCOME, Elleni (?)
Silente, you know perfectly well that your absence won't solve things in the slightest. Unless you believe that you would benefit from leaving, and aren't acting on some preposterous idea that you are contributing negative to this place, stay. On the other hand, if you do actually believe that people caring about you is a bad thing, you're going about trying to fix that all wrong. Perhaps your subconscious knows better. Fascinating things, subconsciousnesses. Is that the proper plural?
Please, call me Hewitt. Ruth is the name of one of my more odious aunts.
I trust everything here has been properly bizarre lately?
[He's trying to have a more relaxed attitude about the whole magic existing thing]
I should still be sleeping....
I doubt my subconscious knows better. And leaving probably won't help me. But you should all be chatting and laughing, not coddling me.
I dedicate to imagination and creativity. Without them, we wouldn't have fictional books, films, games... We wouldn't even have Skulduggery Pleasant. They're important, ok?
I also dedicate to Silente, because she is the one who welcomed me to Blogland all those months ago. She is the one who made me realise I want to be part of Blogland. She is the one who took her time to show me around. She's the reason I'm still here. Thank you, Silente. You're great! *hugs her*
I wish I could every day I go to school.-Zaf
Hear hear to the first part..
You're still here, Silente. It's not an accident or a mistake, and neither are you.
(I am back.)
(It seems the blog has descended into silence?)
im in class...
Sorry. I should just go.
(Fabi, why should you go, exactly?)
Because I'm extremely close to snapping at people for no good reason, and I'd rather avoid that.
(I see. I am not being nasty, but it may be best if you would leave, I agree.)
Good.
[Leaves]
(I will continue to be here.)
Fabu...
(Hello, Rose. How are you?)
Hello, Rose.
Im tired. And annoyed. And finding it rather hard to type with a pen in my hand... You?
Hi Loki.
*hugs* Did you sleep?
(I am depressed. I hope there is a possibility of you feeling better soon?)
Of course I slept. I'm super tired all the time now...
*Hugs back*
Probably not, Soph. Is there anything I can do to make you feel any better?
(*shakes head* No. But thank you anyway. Is there a way I could possibly aid you?)
My author is simply in pain from her flu shot.
If you could figure out why my nose has been constantly itchy for the past two weeks... Then no. But thanks for your concern.
Aw... Crap.... NEEDLE.
*Cries*
(I am no doctor. If you asked me how to treat a gunshot wound I would have been able to assist you somewhat.
However, at a guess, Persistent Rhinitis? Usually accompanied by a blocked and running nose, with sneezing also. Most likely cause being an allergy. Does that help?)
I don't have a blocked or runny nose... Just the occasional sneeze. Mum thinks it might be hayfever, but it so isn't...
It's helps a bit, Soph. Now I know that is don't have something, that's one thing off the list!
(I presume we can also mark off herpes, mosquito bites, fungal infections and liver failure?
You could have a cold.)
I think it might be some weird cold...
Allergies probably, and I was fine with the needle, it didn't hurt, but its just sore. I'm not fond of needles though. When I had my wisdom teeth out last year I freaked over the sedative.
Oh my god, this Saturday is a year since that Skype call. I wish Derek would do that again, there are so many things V and I could ask....Maybe I'll ask him since he doesn't tour the US and everyone else who could got to talk about TDOTL....I highly doubt he'll say yes, probably won't, but I tried. If he actually replies to me....probably still furious with me from July. Most likely cause of no replies. Probably ruined any chance of a call too.....yup. Sigh.
-Zaf
(Indeed. Let's go for that option. Apologies, I was attempting to think what could cause an itching on the nose and I made a rather unpleasant list.)
I am petrified of needles... I hate them. And I almost pass out... And ow ow ow ow...
I was fine when I got teeth pulled out. They gave me a lolly first and then numbed my whole mouth... And I was very blissfully unaware of the damn needle while I had my lolly.
Zaf, at least you have talked to him over Skype.
It's okay, Soph.
(Needles do not affect me much. I do not enjoy watching as the needle actually goes in, but neither do I shy away from it.
No matter how bad you think needles are, as long as you do not fill them full of illegal drugs or an unsafe amount of a legal one, they are there to help you.
Given the fact you are sneezing also, it is almost definitely a cold or some sort of allergy, Rose.)
They gave me a sticker. I hate needles but I didn't even feel this one then again I turned my music on and well yeah....The Phantom of the Opera! -Zaf
Class again. Sorry.
I don't do needles...
*cuddles Rose*
*Cuddles Loki*
I find it bad if HYDRA is talking about the Tesseract.
That does sound really bad...
I believe so.
Loki. Rose. Hello. How are you?
I see...
I am fine.
Are you?
*hugs Loki*
John's mother has made me cry again...
I am in class...
Adra... I'm sorry...
*Hugs*
It is fine, Rose. My author will be sleeping soon.....
Why does it seem everyone makes her cry?-Zaf
I don't know, Zaf... But still... She's in pain and that hurts...
*Hugs Adra again*
Is there anything I can do...?
We all know the answer Rose, its the so called bullying. That's all. Not starting because I'll end up losing my ever loving mind.
So its going to snow possibly next weeknd....-Zaf
...
'so called bullying'...?
She is in PAIN, Loki!
*hugs Adra*
*hugs Zaffy*
*hugs Danni*
Rose, I'm not gonna say anything forget it. Nothing.
OWW MOTHER OF GOD MY BROTHER PUNCHED ME ON THE INJECTION SITE IT FREAKIN HURTS
-Zaf
Rose, I love you.
*linps to sleepy land* -Zaf
So I remember that time I fainted after an injection. It's funny, now that I think about it.
*not injection, blood test. Pumped that blood out for "testing" by people like Silente.
Good night, Zaf! Sweet dreams...
*hugs Tipa*
*waits sleepily*
((I just realised how similar Tipa is to Tia.))
Hi!
How are you?
Hello, Mist. Have we met?
Uh I don't think so
I haven't been on much for a while.
Well anyway, It's pleasure to meet you! *Shakes hand*
Pleasure to meet you, Mist! Tia Halcyon, Chronomancer. No future is too mystical for me. Hoverboards in Hill Valley by the end of the year - guaranteed!
*shakes hand*
And you are?
*yelps at the sudden intrusion* I didn't expect that!
Hello, Elleni!
(White hair, uh...
Let me look for the description.)
(@El I had a description from when Clara asked for it, check your email in a second.)
Hi
I'm Mistical Future and adept with enhanced senses, as well as physical speed and strength.
I'm also quite handy with a sword
Hi Elleni! Hve we met? If not then nice to meet you!
Thanks!
It's misspelt but eh oh well
Oh. I thought it was a pun, a play on words - the future is a mystical mist - no one can see it clearly...
No I could see it and it was good!
And I'm good thanks Elleni
I might zone out because I'm drawing.
Have fun drawing! :)
(Whatcha drawing?)
I must depart. Good night Mist, El, Zaf, Adra and Danni!
*falls asleep listening to My Favourite Game*
Bye Tia! Have a good day/night!
And I'm attempting to draw my grandmother but I'm failing, she looks like an old guy.
I gtg to bye!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.
Why Fabi?
XD hey El!!
PURPLE!!!!
I haven't spoken to you in so long!! Too long!!
*supermegahuggletacklesofdoomvils*
I need to sheep. Good night!
It's not about me. It's never been about me.
I'm sorry...
Blehhh
Nevermind...
I've figured it out.
Rose... *hugs* I wish I wasn't being dragged away, tjat I could talk and tell you how much you're needed, but my parents are making me go somewhere with them... I love you, sis.
(Hello.)
(I will continue to be here.)
Phae just move. I don't have a plan. But if I'm away too long that army could've destroyed everything I care for.
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her tightly*)
Phaestra: I am not moving. You will tell me.
(hey Soph. *hugs tightly back*)
You realise I could go around you. Or move the portal.
Phaestra: I am aware. Do not let her kill anyone, Silente Tempest.
As if I'd let her hurt my friends and family. I'd die first before I let that happen...probably will.
Phaestra: If you are planning to attempt to talk her down, I could distract her army somewhat.
Talk min down? I doubt that's even possible.
4
(*huggles deathsky*)
Phaestra: Perhaps not. What will you do, then?
(Hello, Rose. How are you?)
(Deathsky sounds like a type of alcoholic spirit or something similar.)
Probably something stupid. Or reckless. Who knows.
*walks around Phae to the portal*
Phaestra: No. You will not be doing something reckless.
But that's my speciality
*turns and grins*
Bye Phae.
*steps back into the portal*
Phaestra: *vanishes in a flash of light*
“You’re a bully! I’m disgusted in you! Any respect I have for you is gone!!”
Well, dad, it’s a good thing that I’ve already taken 4 pills. I can easily take five. Or six. Or ten. Or twenty.
(I will be back in a very brief moment.)
(Rose no.)
*walks to her tree house*
*comes out a bit later with a tea tray and walks to a soldier*
Where's Mistress Minerve?
(Rose - you're right. It would be easy. But that does not make it the right thing to do. Never pick the easy option. Make things harder for yourself, and you will be glad.)
Knight: *tilts head* This is no place for you, child.
Hi! How is everyone?
Yeah we've had a storm pass by here to. Thunder and lighting everywhere!
(Hello, Elleni. Hello Mistical.)
(Is is bracket time? why are we talking in brackets?)
(I am somewhat glad that I did not get the first comment on the page.)
(Ok, I guessed that)
(Who are you role playing as?)
(Oh yeah! Same here. I'm not that fit, for that matter I'm not really fit at all but oh well)
(Our characters tend to be like that, or at leas that's how Misti started)
(I rather literally roleplay as myself. Or several other individuals but it is literally me in the roleplay because I do not have much of a choice in the matter.)
Is it weird that out-of-blog I call you all mine? No? Okay.
*smiles at the knight*
A lot of places aren't for me. Do you know where she is?
(Sure I guess I'll join. What are we doing? Is it anything in particular?)
(*tilts head at Elleni* Thank you for the introduction.)
Knight: At the end of the army.
Like, I'll be talking to someone irl and I'll come out with "my Elleni" or "my Rose" or "my Clara" and it's just...
I domt know when I started doing it, it just kinda happened
(I myself may get involved with the roleplay at some point. I am sure my ship will be around somewhere.)
(Snow - it sounds rather odd.)
*Makes a face* What to choose what to choose. Hmm
I think I might pop by for tea? Then I'll visit the military latter.
*knocks on Elleni's door*
I know. And I seriously only realized I was doing it when someone pointed it out. I'm kinda disturbed with myself.
Okay thanks.
*walks to the end of the army, looking for Min*
brb
Minerve: Hello, mortal.
Hello Min. Tea? Iced? Warm? Lemon? Normal?
*raises an eyebrow*
Minerve: I am fine. I require no mortal sustenance.
(Morning everyone... or whatever time it is for you...)
(Hello Mithria. How are you?)
'(*hugs Mir* hey)
Neither do I. You can't still drink it.
*pours herself a cup, balancing the tray in one hand*
*adds sugar*
So apparently they can actually talk. Was I just unlucky yesterday when I got the silent one?
**can
Minerve: No. Few of them can speak.
(morning everyone? sut wyt ti?)
(Hello Commander. I am fine, thank you for asking. How about you?)
(*cuddles Sil* No poking this time, ok?)
(Hey Inky! :) Sorry, what was the question?^^)
(hey flick)
(*dodges the cuddle* okay. No poking.)
(@Sil: Thanks, good news for my eyes. *grins*)
(I am depressed.)
(@Sophia: Why that? What happened?)
(its welsh for 'how are you'?)
(I am always depressed, Mithria. For various reasons.)
(I'm back! Sorry that I rushed off like that!!)
(Hi everyone else)
HI I hear that you where holding a tea party?
Aww that's upsetting. *sips her tea* poor them
(yes it is Mir.)
(OK Bye! Have a great Night Elleni! And Sorry that I left you like that!)
(*arches eyebrow* teaparty? *eyes light up*)
*walks in *smiles* hello people
(Sorry to hear that, commander...)
(@Inky: Welsh? It looks cool, does it sound as cool as it looks?^^ And I'm fine, btw, thanks!)
(hear hear)
(welsh can be cool, but in school it was just plain boring
its fun saying
llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
which is an actual place)
(@Inky: I think I've even heard about that place at school! We had to write it down but no one got it right xD)
That's a good ded. :)
Yeah . . . the internet rocks. :)
I call you people "My online friends." Sometimes I feel the need to name you individually, normally when I'm talking about multiple people and it gets confusing. Mostly you're just anonymous "online friends". :P
(that's cool XD I learned how to say that in year 7. pronunciation then got easier XD. Ive always wanted to visit there)
(Hey Star! I'm the same. Only I say 'online friend's or 'bloglandians' and occasionally use names.)
(@Inky: Why can't there be subjects like Welsh in my school?? Instead, I'm struggling with English and French...)
(Hey Star, I know the feeling. When I talk about you guys to my friends irl, I always call you 'my internet buddies' I really need to start naming you individually)
STAR!! *tacklehugs*
Minerve: Do not pity them. They are not alive.
(It is not a problem, Mithria. I am used to it.)
(I would have loved to do French! but we had to take long course welsh, and my brain couldn't keep up with both languages.
I should have gone to welsh school. The welsh my school learned was 'proper welsh', which is useless if you actually want to talk to someone in welsh. People in welsh school tend to use slang/conversational welsh)
I can pity if I please.
*sip*
Any way, any chance of this delightful horde of knights going away?
(@Inky: This sounds soo cool!! But it's the same with English in my opinion. At school we learn something like 'proper english' and when I first came on the blog for example, I had no idea what these people were talking about :D)
(I guess I can stop talking in brackets now since I'm not going tot hat tea party.) Oh well
Hi! How is everyone?
(Im fluent in English...I wish I was in conversational welsh.)
('These people' gee so flattering Mir ;P)
(You aren't that bad at French though. You proved that to me.)
(Hey Mist. Im good, you?)
(Hehe, sorry, Sil! :P
I remember YOU testing my English/German skills cause you didn't believe I'm German! xD)
Minerve: None.
(really Sil?)
(@Inky: I'm actually doing my English homework right now and just ARGH! :D Commercial Correspondence... blah blah...)
(@Mir oh come on that was fun! You enjoyed that! And I beat you!)
None? I see.
*sip*
There's no sort of arrangement we could come to?
I'm good thanks Inky!
And I wish I could say that I know a language other than English but I don't. I know fragments of Italian and you know some other languages.
(ah, English homework ^^ English is differnet here. I take English literature at A level. I have to write stories and study an old book ^^)
(Yeah, you're right, it was fun! But you only beat me cause you started using... whatever that was... proverbs? Poems? :D)
Minerve: That would depend on the terms.
(mae hi'n bwrw glaw
it is raining -_-
pronounced; my heen buru glaw)
(@Inky: Why on earth can't I have literature and write stories?? ;_;)
(I didn't get the chance to learn german...my school had crap options)
(I don't know Mith *huggles* if its any consolation, the book is really boring)
Name some terms.
(Humpty dumpty if I remember rightly.)
Ditto Inky
I'm practising for my English poetry oral now.
(right all, I have to go. Im going to town with peoples
hywl fawr (good byii))
(@Inky: Mh... *hugs back* Yeah, that helps a little^^ And German is no fun to learn, I guess. I'm seriously grateful that I grew up with the language instead of having to learn it at school or something!)
(Bye Inky!!)
(@Sil: Yes, I think you remember correctly...^^)
Minerve: I thought it was you who wished my army to vanish, not me.
Bye Inky!
