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.

@Amy look at the comment before your hello..
Ohhhh... OHHHHH!
Wow. I must be psychic or something :D
I do that when texting my friend. I'll check my phone and boom! She'll text! Of course sometimes I forget and don't reply for hours...
The dugelthyst ship is so strong it summons people..
I Gtg, sheep!
And um, Sil, why are you awake right now?!?
*hugs everyone*
You're amazing!
@Dug I slept earlier. Goodnight..
Good night, Dugglyn!
*fades*
...Silente?
Yes?
Oh. I never know what to do when someone fades... are you still here then?
Yes...just lurking...
*pushes El & Amy together*
Buddies

Okay. Elleni's way works too.

*takes a cookie and stuffs it in Els mouth*
Adra-Noelle-Candle-Person, you're one of the most amazing individuals I've ever met, and I'm sorry to see you feeling like you do now. I don't think there's much I can do besides remind you that you're loved, and even then, it won't be enough because the harshest words are the ones that stick, but at least maybe it will be a little bit less bad if I say something, which makes it worth writing everything out. You are loved, and everyone you've met is affected by the things you say and do. You might be shattering now, but I can tell you honestly that most of us would have shattered sooner, that you're stronger than you give yourself credit for, and also very good at dealing with things, even though it hasn't been showing as much lately. Please remember, you are loved.
*******
SLEEP NOW, SILENTE. IT'S 4AM.
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF
I slept earlier Fabi...I've slept...
*unfades*
*sits down to eat cookies*
Good bye, Elleni.
Byr El..*hugs*
Ruining myself? No that happened ages ago El.
I've already slept guys! I'm fine.
No, you're not fine.
I have to go as well, goodbye,
Byr Fabi *hugs*
*looks at amy*
You're gonna let me stay up right?
I feel bad because now I'm leaving you all alone :(
But, I have to go too. Sorry, Silente. Take care!
And because I'm leaving, I guess you can stay up... but... get at least 7-9 hours of sleep so your brain cells don't die out.
Silente, please. Sleep deprivation is an awful loop to get into. It can contribute towards depression, mood swings, inability to do schoolwork you would otherwise find easy, light-headedness, difficulty paying attention, nightmares, you're more likely to be injured while operating a motorized vehicle (I guess this one doesn't apply to you specifically), trouble remembering things, difficulty dealing with other people, as well as many more medical-ish stuff such as blood pressure, and also you're more likely to get a stroke. Apparently it can also cause death, though that would be in extreme cases, and I'm hoping you won't end up as an extreme case.
I get all of what Fabulous just said, except the nightmares and injury due to operating a vehicle.
Listen to her...
*Fades away because she is flying across the damn continent in less that 12 hours*
(Hello.)
(I will continue to be here.)
(Hello.)
(Hello, Raven. How are you?)
(I am fine. How are you?)
(Depressed. Are you doing anything interesting?)
(No, my life is incredibly uneventful. Yourself?)
(I am listening to music.
I do not believe someone's life could be uneventful. It is simply trying to pick out the interesting things which is the issue.)
(You got me Commander, I actually fight dragons in my spare time and when I'm not going head to head with fire breathing monsters, I work the ASIO child division. My life is incredibly eventful.)
(
(The curse of the spontaneously appearing bracket.
That sounds indeed very interesting, though ASIO means nothing to me, I am afraid.)
(It's Australia's secret service. If I told you any more, I'd have to kill you.)
(I would like to see you try.
I was somewhat surprised; due to the social nature (or unsocial depending how you look at it) of this place I expected a Halloween party of some description. I am glad that it seems there is not.)
(I'm not going to try, I value my life.
Well, it's still only the 29th, there is still time for some unexpected party to pop up.)
(It seems as though I have to go. Bye.)
(Yes. Yes you do.
Dammit. I hate parties.
Goodbye, Raven.)
Hi I'm Kaden Pix i am new here, I have just started the series (now reading playing with fire) absolutely Love the book!!!!
(Hello Kaden.)
Hey Raven
(Well, you know, welcome to Blogland, home to very few sane and quite a fair few more insane. How are you?)
(*hugs Fabi* I'm sorry...)
I am 16. Whats with the brackets?
(Well, I think brackets are for out of roleplay talk, but even though I'm not in a roleplay, the brackets make me feel safe.
Hello Sil.)
(Hey Raven..
I feel bad. People are worrying..)
(Ummm, forgive my ignorance, but why are they worrying?)
(because of my lack of sleep.)
(Ah, sleep is good.)
(Wise words.)
(Must be some kind of fluke luck.)
( When do we discuss what powers we have and all of that?)
(yeah ;P)
(The first time on, and the fist comment? MY oh my! What is this wizardry?
By the way Kaden, first comment means you have to dedicate the page to something. :) Pick anything.)
(Hey I'm Kaden Pix!)
(Is that Lucky?)
(..Is that a new person? Oh yey. Yey. Hello new person. You need to dedicate the page. Also as for your question, that's easy. We get an idea of it in rp now..)
*grins, her twelve year olds face framing piinted teeth*
*purrs* hello..
*slowly circles the new person, movements smooth and elegant*
Who are you..
(Sorry, I have to go. I may be back soon.)
(I'm going to watch this though...
*grabs popcorn*)
So who are you
*kneels down*
*raises an eyebrow at the kneeling, pleased at the response*
I think you'll find, I asked first.
*still circling him(?) slowly*
Silente Tempest. You are going to be playing nice with our new friend, aren't you?
*She smiled at Pix and waved*
Hi. I'm Death Rose, but please, call me Rose.
That person circling you is Silente Tempest. Call her whatever you want.
* uses his vocal powers SONIC ROAR knocking you against the wall behind you*
Kaden Pix
* said cheekily*
*looks at Rose, pouting slightly*
Of course I am..
*She raised her hand towards Sil and the gravity shifted around her flying form, holding her in place. Then she closed her hand and let her fall the few feet to the ground*
Impressive.
Hey rose nice to meet you
* waves hand*
Yes. Friend-shipping is a thing. I'm cool. I know. :P
(My criteria for why I ship, I've realised, works just as well for friendships. *shrugs*)
*growls, dropping to her feet, landing slightly crouched*
*straightens*
Hmm.
(Hey Star!)
Nice to meet you too, Pix. I'm going to call you Pixar.
*She nodded and then turned to Sil*
You alright?
* unsheathed Black Katana*
I'm fine.
*looks Pix up and down*
*smiles genuinely*
Hello. Nice to meet someone worth messing with for once.
Rose it is a pleasure to be in acquaintance
Ah, well, Sil has a new friend, I'm going to do a maths test.
Tata!
(Bye Rose, and hello Star.)
(I am back.)
Hi/fours, Death!
Not really here. Trying to get back to sleep. XD
(Welcome back Commander.)
(*hugs Soph*)
Silente on was very pleasurable flex my magic muscles to whom I imagine a very worthy opponent
*puts katana in sheath*
*put hand out to shake*
(*hugs Silente back* Hello, Silente.)
Hello commando
Sorry commander
(Hello Kaden. We have not met previously, have we?
I am Commander Sophia Keating.)
(No we have not met. I am Kaden Pix )
Big words.
*shakes his hand, squeezing near hard enough to break all the bones, probably breaking one of two and not letting go, pulling him closer*
Silente Tempest, master of sigils, death defier, complete liar, assassin and vampire.
*smiles with those sharp teeth again*
*draws her pistol* Play nice, Silente.
* sings using the right frequency to shatter the bone silente wrist*
Pleasure
* grin from ear to ear*
*laughs*
Hey Soph.
*cries out, grabbing hir wrist*
Interesting..
*unsheathes Katana*
*unholsters golden dessert eagle*
Let play
Thanks, but no thanks. If I fight, I feed. If I feed, I get shot then have Min to deal with.
*puts away weapons*
I'm starving who wants Thai?
I'll have the delivery person. However Thai food isn't my style.
*keeps her pistol trained on Kaden, just in case*
* puts head to the ground and sings*
*get propelled high into the sky*
*lands behind commander with weapons drawn*
I wouldn't dooo thaaat.
*sighs and shakes her head, her arms flaring with blue energy* *splays her hand and throws him into a tree without even turning around*
*turns with her pistol aiming at him*
Attacking me is not a good idea. You are one more attack away from getting shot or imprisoned, which ever comes first.
Let's do this
*singing pushing you into a building*
*then sings again shattering your bullet in the gun*
(Am I doing the right thing here???)
*quickly moves to Soph's side*
You don't happen to be carrying any spare of my kind of food do you?
I don't have Kaden in handcuffs yet, Silente. However, *points towards her shuttle at the far end of the clearing* there's some in there.
*tilts head at Kaden* Firstly, you clearly have no idea about how my gun works. *takes a shot at him* Secondly, you see a person wearing armour from more than a hundred and fifty years in the future - and carrying weapons of the same age - and decide to attack said person. Not a good idea. *takes another shot at him* And finally, I am the only type of law enforcement this place has. And I can kill people legally. So again - not a good idea. *shoots at him again*
*stages back in pain*
Time for a tactical retreat
*puts head to ground and sings vanishing into the distance*
*reloads and then holsters her pistol* Well, that was fun.
*Appears back*
Let's call it a day
(I am here my darlings ^^)
(I am here my darlings ^^)
(For the record - you can dodge gunshots should you choose to, for future reference. I did shoot at you, not just shoot you. Therefore it would be possible for you to dodge. I believe in most cases it is somewhat polite more than anything else to give people a chance to avoid things, but some of the least destructive/harming things can be said as being a guaranteed hit, I think.)
(a new person! *extends hand* Nice to meet you, Kaden. I am Inky or Chloe, which ever you prefer. Im a werewolf...woof ^^)
( thanks i will fix the next time)
(Hello, Chloe. How are you?)
*tilts head* And why would I call it a day? I could just as easily arrest you and throw you in the cargo hold of my ship. Which *points at the starship in the distance which is hovering a metre or so above the ground* is right there.
Hey Chloe I do not have to fight you as well...Do I?
(heya Soph! I be good thanks ^^
hpow art thou?)
(*shakes head* nope)
*walks in* hello! *tail wags*
(I am depressed, Chloe.)
(aww, I hate it when you say that, knowing I cant do anything about it -_-)
Just messin around I mean no harm.
(Apologies. You do not have to ask me how I am, if it makes you feel bad. I really do not mind.)
(*shakes head* nope, its an inbuilt thing to ask how someone is, so I don't mind. Anyways its ow you feel, cant change that)
*notices Kaden* New person! Hello, how are you? *smiles*
Hello chile it is a pleasure
*kiss hand*
(I do not have to answer, in which case.)
*smiles* such a gentleman! *tail wags* Men around Blogland tend to be so nice. I am Inky the werewolf, what is your name?)
(You can still answer Soph, Im a big girl, I can cope. Oh, and welsh girls are tough!)
Kaden, Kaden Pix pleasure
(*sighs* why did I put an end bracket there -_-)
What a nice name....have you met Silente yet? *tilts head*
(sorry I fell asleep again.)
*looks hopefully at Soph for food*
We have had an encounter
*smiles smugly*
Really? I've found the men here complete pains in the ass.
(I know I can. It is just whether I will which is the question.)
*to Soph* Hello, Soph *smiles* really? I find them so polite
*To Kaden* really? *arches an eyebrow* how did that go?
*tilts head at Silente* Come on, let's go to the shuttle. *walks in the direction of the shuttle*
Ohh you like my name it means harmony pitch I can do special things with my voice
*winks*
Nothing major I wonder if her wrist is still broken
(hey Sil! how art thou?)
Harmony Pitch *eyes light up* awesome!
*jaw drops* y you broke her wrist?
*follows Soph, inspecting het wrist*
Hmm. That's gonna annoy me..
She broke my bone first
*said childishly*
*giggles* that's Sil for you. She is incharge of welcoming newbies.
*calls back to Chloe* I shot him. It's fine.
If you wish to get that fixed, Silente, you could visit the medical bay on my ship. *reaches the shuttle, and unlocks it* *steps inside*
*To Soph* you shot him?
*To Kaden* are you ok?
I've had worse... MUCH worse
*shows scars all over his back*
*follows her inside*
Nah. I probably have some sigils for it.
*pulls bandages from her pocket, removing the near constant ones on her wrist which were already bloodied, ignoring the cuts there*
*starts binding it tightly with fresh bandages, securing it so it won't get hurt more than it is*
*calls back* That tends to happen when someone tries to attack me.
*nods* I can see. I too have many scars on my back. and *points to clawed scar on face* I got mauled by a mountain lion
That is nasty
What happened to your wrist?
*opens a medical kit, removing a pouch of blood and passing it to her* *also takes out a needle full of a blue liquid* Painkiller.
*smiles* but I don't mind it. Do you drink? I know a pub nearby
I may have broke it
*giggles quietly*
I'm thirsty I'll shout first round
*smiles* okay
*leads him to the bar* you seemed very smug about hurting Sil, you don't want to get on the wrong side of a vampire you know
Pixar broke it.
*takes the blood bag between her teeth, biting down and starting to drink*
*takes the needle and nods her thanks, sliding the needle into a vein and depressing the plunger, relaxing*
(I got fed up at looking at the vampire pumpkin cake...)
I was talking about the cuts.
I have fought and killed vamperis many a time I can look after myself. What drink do you want?
A cider please. *smiles*
*hands the empty needle back and holds the blood bag, pausing her feed*
Wear and tear. Clumsy vampire..
*drinks more blood, bag nearly empty*
I wish Rose was here....
*orders cider and a pint of ale*
Do you have any bandagers?
(Hey Loki ^^)
Well if she can't come back unfil next week I'll be back in a week! Maybe longer, I have no desire to go here.-Zaf
*takes a sip of cider*
I do *pulls out bandages from bag*
and thanks for the drink
( fun meeting you all I sadly have to depart for now)
(okay Kaden, byii! nice meeting you)
*puts the needle back into the medical kit*
*tilts head* I am very good at telling when someone is lying, Silente.
I presume you are enjoying my blood again?
(Hello.)
*wraps hand and departs the bar*
We will have another drink sometime
If she comments today I'll go on but other then that...I not coming.-Zaf
(Hello Loki you prat. Now my main reaction right now is the slap you and break your nose. However self control is something I possess. Let me make this crystal clear, weak, or rather realistic, does not make someone a coward. Running from every fight such as you do, that's cowardly. Calling someone a coward when they aren't around to defend themselves cause they were having a very much needed nap, thats being a coward. You are a coward. Silente is not. She's twice the man you'll ever be and she's a child by looks! So get your head on straight and back the hell away from my character.)
*smiles* sounds like a plan. It was nice meeting you
(Hey Rave ! how art thou?)
(Hello, Raven.
*hugs Silente* Nicely said.)
Mhmm
*nods, finishing the bag and licking her lips clean*
Thanks Soph.
(Hello, Everyone.
Thou (do I have to change that tho something equally as Shakespearean such as, thy or thee?) is faring well. And m'lady, how art thou?)
You are welcome. *closes the shuttle door and locks it* Now please tell me the truth.
(*hugs Soph back* thank you. I can handle me being called a coward. I won't stand for Sil being called one.)
(you don't have to Rave ^^
*smiles* Dw I hapus, diolch/I am happy, thank you)
*looks at the locked door*
What are you doing..
(If there is one thing you have proven - it is that you are not a coward.)
I am not letting you out until you tell me the truth.
So, I'm leaving really soon...
(So Inky, I have about a half hour before I think I'll sleep, do you wanna rp? Raven has been nagging me all day, 'You never let me rp anymore. Is it because you don't like me? Oh my gosh! You hate me! This is why I'll never have friends.' and so on.)
(hey Death! how art thou?)
(Hello, Rose. I hope you have a nice time, wherever you are going.)
(aww Sure! And Rave is Inky's friend, so she knows. Inky is currently in the bar)
(Hello Rose.)
I'm okay.
I'm so nervous that I'm singing Backstreet Boys...
(Raven is mentally challenged, I don't think she'll ever know. Okay, that's a bit harsh on the poor girl, well, handing the reigns over to the little voice in my head.)
*pops into the bar and sees Inky*
Inky! Hello!
*drops a daisy chain on her head*
