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.

@Inky: Yeah. The people bit is the difficult bit. That and not knowing what to do. :P
The more you do it, the easier it'll get, though. As with most things in life. :)
(*nods* yes, that is true Star ^^)
Oweee-Zaf
(Hey Zaf, whats up?)
Sleepy.-Zaf
(aww)
Now I eating.-Zaf
(Soul Eater is a great anime)
Hi Zaf.
I'm sleepy too. Msd, I might go to sleep . . .
*Hi Zaf. :)
My emoticon disappeared in my sleepiness, but it struck me that my greeting looked rather unfriendly without it. :/
Tis fine Star. We woke my sister up singing to her this morning, it's an hour earlier over there.-Zaf
(I love dark and twisted Alice in Wonderland things)
(it has gone quiet)
(*defo didn't poof* *nuh huh* *not at all*)
(Hey Sil, how art thou?)
(Dizzy. You?)
(dizzy? Im good
When my friend had concusion, he had temporary amnesia)
(Dizzy. Probably due to dehydration or lack of sleep or something. It'll be fine.
Wow.)
(maybe you should drink some water and sleep?)
(Nah. That's logical :P)
(*shrugs* fair doos
Im trying to persuade ym parents to get me a cello...I want to play it so bad)
(Hmm..good luck with that. They're expensive..)
*curls up and dies slowly*-Zaf
(I know, im applying for jobs so ill be able to save up
Whats up Zaf?)
Nothing, just bored.-Zaf
(Same. Anyone wanna rp?)
I'd say sure but you'd probably end up killing one of my characters. Unless....well Zan did escape prison.-Zaf
(Okay let me rephrase. Non cannon rp anyone?)
Sure.-Zaf
(Okay! (This is why I love non cannon...anything can happen!))
*runs into blogland, panting, stumbling*
*appears directly in front of Silente, Zanida with him* Hello, vampire.
*stops about a millimetre from Loki, just managing not to crash into him*
*looks terrified*
H-hi
(Soz, mni poofed)
Afraid? *smirks* The fearless vampire.
Zanida: *pokes Silente* You are a vampire, right?
*looks behind her*
Yes why?
*she can hear hoofbeats, as can anyone with heightened hearing*
*wonders in* hello! *smiles*
*looks at Inky*
Hide me
*eyes widen*
*looks around* this way *runs towards cottage*
What did we do?
*runs with her, hoofbeats growing louder*
*loud enough for Zan and Loki to hear*
It is fine, sister.
Zanida: Understood.
*bursts into cottage* I have a passage this way!
*steps on wooden floor*
*secret door opens*
Flick you're a savior!
*goes through the door as hooded figures on horse back with numerous weapons appear near Loki and Zan*
*they fade in there only when near you*
*closes the door once Sil is in*
*waits patiently*
What?
Zanida: Who are you?
*the hooded figures look at Zan and Loki, studying them*
*when one does speak it is in a very deep voice*
Rider: where is she.
Zanida: Where is who?
There is only myself and my sister.
Rider: the vampire.
*a roar shakes the forest*
Rider: tell us.
*hears roar* crap
*changes into semi wolf form*
I have not seen the vampire.
Zanida: I have not seen her in weeks....*shrugs*
Rider: *looks between Loki and Zan*
Altus be with you.
*rides past them, the ground shaking as another roar rips through the forest*
*gets ready in attack position*
*grabs Zan and appears near Silente and Inky* We led them hopefully off your trail.
*was listening through the door* oh good.. *knocks to be let out*
Rider: *go flying past the cottage into the forest opposite, a huge, rumbling, ape/man like monster following behind, chains holding it safe*
*smiles* thanks. Sil is in the secret passage
No spiritual Caesars are these dead;
They want no proud paternal kingdom come;
And when at last they blunder into bed
World-wrecked, they seek only oblivion.
Rolled round with goodly loam and cradled deep,
These bone shanks will not wake immaculate
To trumpet-toppling dawn of doomstruck day :
They loll forever in colossal sleep;
Nor can God's stern, shocked angels cry them up
From their fond, final, infamous decay.
*lets Sil out*
*steps out*
Thanks Loki...Zan.
*looks in the direction the riders went*
*shudders*
Who.... Were they?
Altus and his cult...its cult...
It's? *looks confuddled*
Monster thing
Why are they chasing you?
Ah...
Cause the monster thing was meant to eat me so I might've stabbed it and ran...apparently thats not okay.
Sil...
What! I don't like being eaten!
Doesn't mean it's nice to stab oters!
I woke up and something was trying to eat me! I panicked! What would you rather I do, advise it use some pepper??
(Hello.)
Good point...
(Hello, Soph and co!)
(HeWwo Soph and Tia!)
Just add salt and pepper, you'll be tasty.
(hey Soph & tia)
()
Exactly. I didn't feel like being eaten.
()
*glares at Loki*
Will they come back?
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her*
What is happening in the world of roleplay?)
(*hugs back*)
()
Almost definitely.
*Tanya walks up to Silente*
*and greets her by the way of biting her arm*
*and drinking her blood*
*and looking up at her to see if she's noticed*
*she's noticed*
Uh, hi?
Zanida: Are we all....vampires now?
Well... Want to Go back into the passage ? Just in case
*swats Tanya's nose* bad.
*looks at flick* erm..
(@new comers non cannon rp mightyaaltus cult after Sil *nos*)
*sighs as she approaches* Alright, what's happening here?
*looks at soph* um we're planning a secret party?
*looks at Silente, blood surrounding her mouth*
But I'm thirsty!
*sees Sophia*
*smiles*
Tanya I haven't had a drink in days. Weeks maybe. Don't talk to me about thirsty.
*holds her arm to Tanya's mouth anyway*
*tilts head* Right.
*points to Sophia*
Drink.
Hey Tan
*draws her pistol, aiming it at Tanya and Silente* Not a good idea.
Tanya I'm not draining Sophia. *shoves her arm pointedly in Tanya's mouth* now shut up and drink.
@Sil You're no fun.
*drinks for a bit, then stops*
*eyes on Sophia*
Well it's good to know that your back Mr Landy!!
Oh and Happy Birthday!!! (For Thursday) I hope that you had a wonderfully epic day!!
(Hey Mist! How art thou?)
Anyone want tea?
*presses a sleeve against the cut*
No....I just have more self control...dizzy...
*holds her worriedly*
I-
I'm sorry I didn't mean to drain you Silente!
((Sorry, bagel happened.-Zaf
(Tis okau Zaf)
*bakes cakes*
*falls i not non canon role play*
*sneaks up behind Sophia and.hugs her tightly before running away and hiding behind Loki (if he's here. If not behind Sil)*
I'm good thanks!
I'd love to stay and talk to you guys but it's almost 2 in the morning here and I really should go to bed. Night everyone! (Or good morning which ever it is)
Bye! *Waves*
(Hey Dug ^^ how art thou?)
*lifts Dugglyn up using her biotics* *moves her towards her in the air* No hugging me. Ever.
*waves back to Mistical*
Ok! Goodnight! (Though I just woke up here..!:))
It's fine...just haven't had a drink in a while so there wasn't much in me...
*sits*
Flick? Could i have some tea? Milk and as much sugar as you can dissolve..
*nods* okay
*makes Sils tea and hands it to her* how's this?
*hugs Derek* :) :) :)
Hey, y'all. :)
Not sure whether I can be here, or not.
I feel like I've been working for most of the day and I want to stop, but turns out it's only been three hours and I need to LEARN things dammit. :/
*takes a shakey sip*
Thanks.
Hey Dug.
*has another sip, the dizziness fading somewhat*
Anyone willing to lend a vein?
Why are you hiding behind me?
(*higgles* hi Taia! How art thou?)
I am Sil... If that's okay
*shrieks when she's picked up, accidentally putting Sophia unconscious*
(Unless helmet does something to the sound which I feel like it might have...)
(I gooda cheese! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)
*nods at Flick* at this point I'd drink anyone..
*nods* okay, go ahead
(My helmet relays the sound through digital speakers if that affects it.)
(Yeah, I think it would, ok!)
*glares at her*
Put me down!
*takes flicks arm and closes her eyes, focusing, preparing for the blood lust* sorry if this hurts...hit me if you want me to stop.
*bites down, teeth slicing the skin easily, and shivers, starting to drink, not caring that the blood is werewolf and thus tastes different, focusing on not speeding up*
You're the boss. *throws her backwards into a tree*
*winces* I've never let a vamp feed on me before... Now I know why.
*keeps slowly draining her, speeding up slightly and shifting, hands holding Flicks arm tightening*
Hey!
*turns into mist before she hit the tree*
*solidifies*
That. Wasn't. Nice.
Hi, Chloe. *hugs back* :)
I'm not bad, just trying to find a way out of schoolwork where I don't think there is one. :P Thank you for asking. :)
How're you?
(... Actually, I have two hours of audio files I need to listen to. So maybe I can try distanting here whilst doing that? *nods slowly*)
*frowns* Sil... That's enough...
(PURPLE TAIA!!!!! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!)
*doesn't hear flick*
*keeps draining, hands tightening again*
*turns, looking over at Flick and Sil*
Um Sophia..?
*points at them*
*knocks Silente away with her biotics*
*runs over to Inky*
You ok?!
*she takes out a bandage and begins wrapping it around Inky's arm*
Sil! *hits her* stop!
*hits the wall and snarls, blinking, pupils slowly shrinking to a normal size* what? Sorry.
*sways with dizziness* I'm okay dug, thanks
Gtg! Pie!
(Byii Dug!)
Kinda almost drained me there...
(Bye, Duggy!)
PURPLE DUGGLYN! :)
I'm okay, thanks. My eyes are holding up nicely, too. :)
Oh, bye, Dugglyn! :P *waves*
(HELL. Seven years later isn't the beginning.
I didn't number these things right.
ARGGH.)
(Just quickly..
Sil, I got the book Shiver that you recommend, read it, absolutely loved it!!, and then searched for the sequels because you said trilogy but I couldn't find them anywhere and now i realize that I read the wrong shiver!
So good book- Shiver by Karen Robards)
*winces* sorry flick..
Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other time of day, Blogland.
*prods arm and winces * it's okay
(Afternoon Sir! How art thou?)
(Hello, Sir.)
Greetings, Ms. Flame, Commander Keating, Ms. Tempest, and Mr. DeMars.
Contemplating, Ms. Flame.
(hey sir)
Are you okay?
Hi, Sir!
It's nice to see you. :)
Very distant/msd
*smiles* yes, I'm a tough cookie
(I am happy today ^.^)
*eats Chloe because she is a tasty cookie*
Hello, Sir!
Okay.
*gets up when she's sure she won't hurt anyone*
*walks over to flick and takes her arm, activating the healing sigils on her hands and covering the bite*
(Tia! *whines* I'm not that' tasty!)
(Tia! *whines* I'm not that' tasty!)
(Tia! *whines* I'm not that' tasty!)
Thank you *smiles*
You're welcome.
*let's go when its fully healed and removes the bandages, pocketing them*
You should've punched me.
@Dug: :P Oh dear.
:)
*hugs*
Hello everyone! it's my nana's ruby wedding anniversary party tonight so I'm having my hour now.
I didn't want to
(Hey Khi! How art thou?)
Hi Chi. Why do you only have an hour of computer time? -Zaf
You needed to.
(*supetmegatacklehugofdooms Chi* *glomps* *tickles*)
I was considering it... But Sophia beat me to jt
Yeah I noticed..
Have you found all the sigils yet? *grins*
Depends how many there are, I found the ones around the bed
(Cause I snuck out of the house without my phone to go to Comic-con. I was banned for 3 months and im starting to get it back. Bit by bit.)
I'm great Inky, you? *hugs*
*hugs Sil*
I'm all dolled up xD
*laughs* which ones around the bed?
(*huggles* I'm stuck in the back if my dad's Porsche, so I'm squished)
The ones on the top
(*hugs Chi* you're amazing.)
The healing ones?
Yep *nods*
What other sigils are there? *tilts head*
(I'm really not Sil xD)
Adam and John aren't on... are they only antisocial when I'm on? lol... I probs won't get to speak to them tonight. They're not expecting me to be on now. They're going to be pissed.
(You are Chi!)
Yup. Lots.
Where *eyes full of wonderment*
That explains a lot....-Zaf
Look and you'll see *winks*
*whines* can't you just tell me?
Oh, excellent, the blog is back! Not that I missed it, or anything. Really, I barely even noticed it was gone. It's not like I was on here every day, checking for updates *forced laughter*
(Hey Alexa! how art thou?)
(Hey Xan How art thou?)
(Hey Alexa!)
Nope.
Hi Inky! I fare well, though the workload of my education doth leave something to be desired. And you?
Hi Silente!
*whines* can you atleast give me clues?
(I am good, thank you *extends hand* nice to meet you)
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
(Im good Xan ^^)
(Shit. That's bloody unlucky.)
(*sniggers*)
(likewise, Inky *shakes hand*)
(*smiles* im a werewolf )
(Oh ouch Soph..
*tilts head at Alexa* are you new?)
Clues? Look. Use your eyes. They're your clues!
My little brother just woke me up at 4:00am.
Wanna know why?
Coz I said something in my sleep...
(Hey Death *huggles*
Sil, where are they exactly?)
My sympathies, Rose.
Sir... I was sleeping... And now I can't sleep...
*Cries*
(How did I miss that comment...?)
*Huggles Inky back*
Hey...
(*to Inky* That's...unusual. How's that working out for you?
*to Silente* No, not really - but usually I just lurk silently and watch you all talking without saying anything. I'm less creepy than I'm making myself sound, I swear.)
