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.

Arachne: Yay! *gives Sil the itty bitty spider* here you go, I mst dash! *hurries off*

Piss me off and I'll crush you.
*spider bites her*

*drops the spider and rubs the bite*
Little brat..
*spider scuttles back to Arachne*
Arachne *watches from a distance*: *smirks* the poison should work soon...
(*hugs Silente tightly*)
(*hugs soph tightly back*)
*takes a step after it then frowns*
*rubs her arm again, confused*
Arachnee: *smirks* one, two, three....
*Drinks*
*walks into bar* hello sweetie
*smiles and sits next to him*
*Looks up from drink* Hi
*looks highly uncomfortable, then grits her teeth, tensing*
*cries out at the pain and stumbles back, cursing, looking around for Ar*
*spots her and takes a step towards her before crumpling and screaming at the pain*
(feck, why the helldid I say id go to tabata tonight?

(@Soph wanna continue with claire and sil?)
(Sure.)
Claire: *moves to the start of the hurdles*
Bye, CHloe!
Nice ded, Ed. :)
wbd/msd
(Thank you)
*moves to stand next to her*
Stacey: Okay. This is only a practice remember. That being said the loser has to be the winners slave for the rest of the day.
*grins* Ready?
Ready.
*looks at Claire*
Don't worry, I'm a kind master
*winks*
Claire: Hey that's... that's not fair! Rebecca is fast! And she's taller!
*sighs* Ready...
Stacey: *laughs* Then you have motivation! Three, two, one, GO!
*sets off running at a slowish pace towards the first hurdles, hoping to give claire false hope*
Claire: *starts off going as fast as she can, clearing the first few hurdles in a matter of seconds*
*runs after her, laughing, gaining easily, elegantly moving over the hurdles like they aren't even there*
Claire: This isn't FAIR! *her eyes flash white for a split second and she pulls Silente's legs from under her with her telekinesis* *continues to hurdle*
*stumbles and trips over a hurdle, getting up smoothly*
Cheater!
*sprints, forgetting about maintaining a human speed, just wanting to win*
Claire: *her eyes flash white again and three of the hurdles in front of Silente move closer together* *starts to near the finish line*
*runs, clearing three hurdles in one and blurs past Claire going much to fast*
(Is distant)
Claire: Hey! *sees Stacey watching* Just because you're a regional hurdle champion! Stop showing off!
*crosses the finish line and comes to a graceful stop*
*looks back and smirks*
Stacey: *jogs over, awe on her face*
*half the class are also watching*
Claire: *sighs as she crosses the finish line* That wasn't fair! You can't expect me to win against someone who has had years of practice!
Stacey: you're...really fast...
No..it's just an illusion. I'm a magician, its what I do..
Teacher: Rebecca! Come here!
Claire: She's a regional hurdles champion. She's been training since she was like... four?
*walks to the teacher, dragging Claire with her*
*whispers* Sorry..
Stacey: *is still staring*
Claire: *whispers back* I am not going to be your slave.
*whispers back* Oh hell yes you are!
Teacher: Rebecca, I'd like you to run against Stacey please.
Stacey: me??
Claire: I'm not!
Are too.
Teacher: Ladies, places.
*lines up*
Stacey: *lines up with her*
Teacher: Three, two, one
Claire: *watches*
Teacher: GO!
*runs, trying to remember not to sprint, moving over hurdles gracefully*
Stacey: *moves beside her*
*goes faster, grinning*
Claire: Come on Rebecca!
(I will be back soon.)
*hears Claire and runs faster still, fluid and graceful, making Stacey look weak and slow*
Stacey: *stumbles and nearly falls, speeding up again, not able to match Sil*
*crosses the line and grins, turning to watch Stacey finish*
(I am back.)
Claire: *claps*
(Welcome back Sophia)
(welcome back *hugs*)
*grins at Claire*
Teacher: That was..remarkable..have you considered joining the school team?
The..team?
Stacey: Yeah..*pant* You'd be great..
(*hugs Silente back* Thank you.
Thank you, Edward.)
Claire: She should definitely join the team.
Um..maybe?
Teacher: Fridays. After school or at lunch, whichever you can attend..
*looks at watch* Anyway! You all need to be getting changed. How time flies.
*walks with Claire, grinning evily* Slave for the day hm.
Stacey: *joins them* Yep.
Claire: No! This isn't fair!
(I will be back soon.)

(Nuh! Not the tickling! Not again!
I'm good thanks tia. Quite chill for once. You? - Jai)
Sybbil sweetly falling hard
Beneath the ashen skye
Frothe de ardent willows coil
Round neck and sharplie tie.
Hanging softly in the whist'ling wind
Crying loo lye Mae;
Death be my consequence
Life be by dae.
(Hello Adra, how are you?)

Stace: *grins, walking into the changing rooms* I'm sure your sister will be kind.

Stacey: Spoil sport! *starts getting changed*
*gets changed too*
Claire: Maybe but still! *gets changed*
*shrugs her bag onto her shoulder*
Stacey: Hey you two wanna see something cool?
Sure.
Claire: Of course. We specialise in cool.
We do? Me maybe but you? *raises an eyebrow*
Stacey: Come on..
*sneaks out a fire door, disabling the alarm before hand, holding it open for them*
Claire: *walks through the fire door*
*follows*
Stace: *closes the door* Hope you don't mind a bit of fence jumping.
*runs, grabbing the edge of the fence there, pulling herself up and over*
*raises an eyebrow and copies*
Claire: Now for some real hurdles. *runs, pushing one foot against the wall* *pushes off, grasping the top of the fence one handed, throwing herself over it in a cartwheel* *lands on the other side in a crouch* *sticks her tongue out at Silente*
*raises an eyebrow* Show off.
Stacey: Cool. *walks through the forest* Hmm..*is reading small signs from the forest* Follow me. *walks in a seemingly random root*
Claire: *follows Stacey* Where are we going?
Stacey: To the garden..
*pauses at a seemingly empty space and smiles* Go ahead.
Claire: *walks forward*
*the moment she passes the trees a bubble around her ripples and a beautiful garden comes into view, a shed in the middle of it, flowers and plants both known and unknown in bloom all over*
Wow..

Stacey: what about you claire?
*drinks water*
I'm currently learning the joys of being a fish.
LOKI!!!
Hey Eddy! why you drinking water? *hiccups*
Because I don't wish to be drunk
*frowns* w why is that?
I'm going to take a quick shower, because I need to, and then I'll be back for a while.
I didnt sleep on the plane so I'm a little grumpy...
I shall not drink until after the wedding
Claire: Could I have a bottle of water? In the bottle, if possible.
*smiles* that's sweet, but can you hold it out?
Stacey: Sure! *goes inside*
*moves over to Claire*
So..this place is weird..
Of course I can, I managed it before
Take a shower love. Where is Darwin?
Aww that's good *hugs him*
*hugs* *Drinks more water*
Claire: Definitely. Pretty cool, though.
Sure you don't want whiskey with that?
Whiskey, yes ple... *thinks* No, I need to not drink
Cool yeah. But..I'm fairly certain this is magic. Which means either SHE'S magic...or this is someone who is magic's haven..
Stacey: *comes back, holding one bottle of water, closed, one mug of steaming hot blackcurrant, and with a can of redbull under her arm*
*hands claire the bottle and Sil the mug*
*nods* okay then
*pushes cider away*
Then I need not to drink too

Stacey: You're welcome. Like the place?

Claire: Totally. I mean... did you just stroll in or did you get told about it or...?
