(im here my chickadees ^^)
(*hugs Inky* hey.)
(*huggles Sil tightly* wassup?)
(*gestures at the above comment* life. You?)
(Hello, Chloe.
I suppose that could have gone a lot worse.)
(I suppose so Soph.
*hugs*
Would you like to continue the role play?)
(Im alright

*continues hugging*)
(That's mean.
*keeps hugging back*)
(I don't mind
if you feel up to it?
*huggles* life's a bitch and then you die
but remember, if life gives you lemons, remember the tequila and salt!)
(xD life's a bitch and then you die. Brilliant quote.
Okay.)
MrBBWolf: *walks beside Inky into the shop, cradling Lilith still*
(its my mum's saying
shes the most cheerful person XD)
*Lilith Giggles*
*enters shop*
*grins* I love baby stuff
(She sounds brilliant.)
MrBBWolf: *smiles at Lilith*
It is quite cute..not as cute as the baby itself..
(*hugs Silente back* I am somewhat distant at the moment but perhaps in a little while?)
(she has her moments XD)
True *smiles*
*finds the girls section*
(Okay then Soph.)
(I'm sure she does.)
MrBBWolf: *follows Inky*
No pink..
(she likes books like 50 shades -icky- and she calls it mummy porn XD)
*laughs* then what colours?
(Mummy porn at women's rights expense.
~AVBYTE)
MrBBWolf: Purple..or black..ones that aren't stereotypes..
*frowns*
What's her last name?
I...don't know...
MrBBWolf: Well...she needs a last name...And m-maybe a middle name..
*thinks* what do you think?
MrBBWolf: W-well...What's you r-real last name..?
Flame *smiles*
MrBBWolf: -shakes head- No i-i mean your given name..
I haven't used it in ages...Evans
MrBBWolf: Lilith Evans...
hmmmm what about a last name ?
*middle
MrBBWolf: I-I don't know..
*smiles* whats your last name?
MrBBWolf: I dont...have one..
So Finn and Jake set off to find a new home...
That's how I feel right now 😖
I also feel like crying and being sick and crying a bit more...
But I'll do that when I can see.
Because I don't know what to do...
Eh, screw being able to see. I can't see anymore. I'm just going to cry. Crying is easier.
(Boom, Velvet's in Blogland!)
*frowns* you don't
(*huggles mem*

MrBBWolf: Lilith Wolf Evans..? I..how about Marie?
Marie is pretty *smiles* okay
MrBBWolf: Lilith Marie Evans..
(I honestly think I'm going mad, what about you?)
Velvet: *calls Felix* Please kidnap me, Flo and Kayleigh are driving me nuts!
Felix: *chuckles* okay
*smiles* I think we are sorted on the terms of names
MrBBWolf: *smiles down at Lilith*
Yeah..
*blinks and looks up, focusing*
A-anyway..clothes..
yes...I think black is too dark for a baby...so purple?
MrBBWolf: *nods*
Purple..
H-hey..what was..that person that d-delivered her called..?
*sighs* I mean, they won't stop teasing me about every little thing I do and-
Kayleigh: *pops her head in and back out again* *whispers to Flo* She's on the phone to her boyfriend again...
Flo: *giggles and makes kissing noises*
Velvet: Urgh, go away! *groans and leaves through the back door* Sorry about that, are you still there?
That was Silente *smiles*
Felix: on my way *revs up the engine*
MrBBWolf: Sh-should we buy her something...t-to say thank you?
*smiles* that's a good idea... *thinks* what to get her...
MrBBWolf: Well..h-how old is she? She looked th-thirteen at most...m-maybe some m-makeup? O-or magazines..
*laughs* that's so not SIl...she is in her Hundred and thirties...
*smiles* Thanks! *walks out to the front*
MrBBWolf: What?? I-I know m-mages age slowly b-but not..that slowly..
*appears*
*hugs Sil*
Oh, you compliment me °W°
(Hey Tia!)
(*hugs Kas back*
Hello.
*hides from the °W°*)
Felix: *arrives* im here
She is a vampire
(hey Kas *huggles*)
*grins* Thanks for coming! *climbs on*
MrBBWolf: A vampire? Then..why was she calling...Lilith a leach?
(*huggles Velv and Amazinky*
Hey! C:)
*Tanya appears and wildly tacklehugs Sil*
Silly!!! I need your help! It's urgent :/ :S :) D: c: °W°
(*hugs Tia* How are you?)
()
Sil: Ahh!
*manages to stay on her feet*
What's wrong?
(Okay, I guess. Gonna eat some sandwiches (no milk for cereal...) then go shopping.
How are you, Silly and Chloe?)
Sil, I need help! With my plans! They're not working! :c
()
Sil: what plans?
Felix: anytime *speds off*
I have no idea
(Im alright)
MrBBWolf: Th-that's.. rude..
*looks around*
Please, you have to help me. I'll just ask you a question and two, please! And... and you can't tell anyone. Please, Sil, help me. :c
()
Sil: Tanya you're making no sense! Ask me what?
*holds on* Where are we going?
(One sec.)
*looks around again*
I need confidential advice. I'll pay you! You can have some money, blood if you want that! But I need your advice on my plans! Will you help me? :c
(sorry
mini poof
may poof again)
Well...don't let Sil catch you saying that
Felix: where do you want to go?
MrBBWolf: okay..
()
Sil: plans for what?
*picks up some purple baby overalls* what do you think?
*smiles*
*looks around again*
I can't tell you unless you help me... or at least promise to answer my questions regarding my plans.
*hugs Sil* Please...
MrBBWolf: Adorable..
*bounces Lilith gently*
()
Sil: I'll answer your questions..
*Lilith giggles*
*smiles* it is...how about a matching hat?
MrBBWolf: *grins*
Definitely. Hats are cool..
they are *grins* I like yours by the way
MrBBWolf: *smiles and pushes the brim up slightly*
Thanks. I rather l-like it myself..
*tickles Liliths belly*
She seems imp-partial to it..
(shoot
I better go now!
byii)
(Bye Inky :)
Thanks! °W°
I know you're not too happy about this, so I'll only askone question - the most important one.
If you were a terribly lonely vampire who had no-one to care for her or look out for her or give her purpose to live, how best would you go about making enough enemies so that one of them would finally kill you because you utterly destroyed the wedding of Silente Tempest?
(Bye, Chloe!)
Help... :/
I've got a cousin staying in our room now because little space during holidays with relatives, and she makes me nervous... Just because I barely know her...
I don't want to be too obnoxious, because she's the type who seems more serious and would get annoyed with me easily, so what should I do?
()
Sil: -frowns-
Wait what?
And I can't help NOT being annoying... :/
(@LaV your room your rules
Bha)
( bbs)
(Back from lunch!)
(Yeah, Jai's right. It's your room. Your stuff. She tries anything, get back at her.
Oh, hi!)
*lightly hugs Sil*
*rolls away, lies down and stops trying to live*
*shakes head*
It's not exactly MY room though...
Hi Vel.
(Hi Lav! *hugs*)
And she's OKAY, it's just that we barely really know each other so I just don't know how to act...
*hugs Vel back*
(How are you?)
Who, me?
I don't know what I'm feeling... And also, with this many people around, I may not be able to be on much for a few days either...
*mumbles*
I'm actually not supposed to be on here... Fabi knows what happened the last time I came on, but...
:/
(Gah, hi Velv and Hope! Message didn't send!)
(What do you mean you may not be able to come on?!)
(@Hope So rebellious...)
(Hi Tia, how are you?)
*glares at Woozles*
Are you messing with the comments again?
*Woozles is a badger of Eve's who is basically the ruler of comments*
He cause quite a few to disappear before. I bet he's behind the reason why your message didn't send.
*nods*
Also hi, Tia. :)
(No snow this Christmas :/)
(YET, Tia...)
Well...
Last time I was caught on here, I got in trouble and was banned from coming back. That was a year ago...
But I don't want to leave! D:
*hugs everyone*
I get lonely because there's no one to really talk to over here and I barely have any real friends!
I like it here...
*hugs Tia*
You'll get your snow. I will WISH for it!
*three wishes of hers had already been granted before*
I seem to have a magic for wishes...
(I do too Lav! *tacklehugs* And I won't let you leave!)
(I'm okay...
*is mildly happier than two days ago because he found some nutjob explorers who want to take a huge fleet into unknown space looking for a lost human colony, but looking for ancient derelicts and alien species along the way*
*two to three years from now*
*are planning the journey without maps*
*have 30+ ships purchased with real money laying about without any pilots to use them*
*don't even consider the fact that they'll need fuel to make the journey*
*nutjob explorers*)
(Half here..
@Hope be yourself. Yourself is awesome. I like yourself!)
()
Sil: *sighs and crouches next to Tanya*
Tanya if you're lonely.. dont try kill yourself. Talk to people. I bet they'd love to meet you.
(*hugs Hope*
I saw the weather sites :/
(And that was Star Citizen. So long to go before release.))
I'll try to be more careful, but that would also mean coming on less... But you guys are only on in my mornings and night, which would be a hard time to get on later...
Thanks, Sil, but not everyone does...
*rolls over to Sil*
*plays with her hair*
I guess so...
(@Lavender those other people aren't very wise )
@Tia: Then I will wish for Jack Frost to come visit. He doesn't care about what the weather sites say.
:P Who knows? It could work.
()
Sil: Life can't get better if you're dead.
*sighs*
But I only talk to you guys for a short time. It's not like we're LIVING together...
Living with me would get annoying, and that's coming from myself. :/
*stares into Sil's eyes*
You're right.
But they'll come anyway. They'll try to kill me. Maybe I'll let them. Maybe I won't.
(Hope, that's just people. You're not as annoying as some people, you're better than that. And you're a good person. I'd live with you.)
()
Sil: No, you won't. When they come you won't let them kill you. Simple as.
(@Lav I'm sure youre a pleasure to live with.)
*sighs*
I'm sorry about planning to destroy your wedding. It's unfair to you.
Would you really? There's a lot I can't show through text, but the way I speak, and that I talk a lot about things that nobody would even care about and how I act like a 12 year old most of the time and-
And I talk even when no one will listen because I just have to say what I'm thinking otherwise my brain will explode.
So basically, I'm talking to myself a lot, but only when I'm alone, which is sort of often... And did I mention I could talk peope's ears off?
*bites her lip*
(Has Velv disappeared? Or were the comments stolen?)
()
Sil: its fine..Well it's not fine, but..at least you told me?
(That really is fine Lavender. One of my friends is like that. Never shuts up. Cant get a word in edgeways. It's nice. Someone talking to me.)
I think she disappeared, Tia, but I don't know.
(Hope, that sounds okay to me.
And you're not like someone I know. Oh, that's just awful. Oh, comically bad memories. You're a good person, Hope!)
*looks at Sil*
*smiles like* °W°
Thanks... I better go get rid of those explosives that I set because I wasn't invited.
*gets up to leave*
*hugs you both*
Thanks guys...
Did I also mention I'm LOUD? And would talk even when people don't feel like listening?
*decides to stop-*
Oh, and I drag things longer than they have to be.
*nods and shuts up now*
I have to go in a sec...
()
Sil: *frowns*
Tanya, you are invited to the wedding.
(@Lavender you sound brilliant.)
(@Hope You got nothing on me. I'm such a shut-in.)
That's a good one, Sil! *smiles, walking off*
And now I leave.
*hugs everyone*
I may be back soon, but if not...
I may not be on for a while... Of course, I'll try, but I may only be able to come on for a short time only.
*hugs everyone again and leaves*
(*hugs lavender tightly back*)
()
Sil: *watches her walk*
I hope to see you there!
(Bye, Hope! See you soon!)
*turns around suddenly and stalks towards Sil*
Have you told him!?
()
Sil: *swallows*
Told him what?
The fact that you've... slept around.
()
Sil: O-of course I have..
(I just remembered!
I had a dream tonight! Last night. Whatever
I had a dream!)
*steps closer, glaring into Silente's eyes*
Are. You. Lying. To. Me?
(Oooh what happened??)
()
Sil: *steps back*
*quietly* he.might know...I'm not sure..
He might know!? How do you expect to be happy together if you're keeping secrets from him even now? He trusts you, dammit!
(I was at a large rocket ready to take off. It had the space shuttle attached to it. I was looking at it. I might have been Tanya. And then it was lifting off, with that beautiful firestorm underneath it, and I, Tanya, got out a heat-seeking rocket and fired it and destroyed the ship.
I'm here to destroy all ships.
It's raining and I'm in town :/)
(Wow..)
()
Sil: I know I know...I am going to tell him..
You told me that a week ago. I think I'll tell him.
()
Sil: No! I will tell him! I just haven't seen him yet
*twists the ring nervously*
I will..
Damn right you will! If you don't, you'll be living a lie, and you will be unhappy, and when he finds out, he will doubt anything you've ever said or done to him. And you will deserve it.
I can go with you, but you have to tell him... I just want you to be happy, Sil.
WHY DO I KEEP POOFING. *headdesk*
*ironically, has to go*
*leaves*
()
Sil: *smiles and gently hugs Tanya*
I'll be fine. I'll tell him but..alone.
Oh, and if you want to join me in the conquest of Blogland... I'd more than appreciate it.
(Hi/bye Pho)
()
Sil: *frowns*
Conquest of blogland?
(Hi/bye Em!)
*gulps* I didn't tell you? Uh... surprise!
()
Sil: Tanya what are you planning.
Just... promise me you'll tell him. It will eat you up inside if you don't.
Promise me.
*is back*
But it's already past midnight... And I DO NOT FEEL TIRED.
So I will be here for a bit. :)
Uh... you were reluctant to give me advice on my plans, remember? But don't worry, you won't be hurt.
(Yay, Hope!)
(Lavv!
*huggles*)
()
Sil: I..I promise
(Hello.)
*wonders*
Did you ever invite me to join your 'conquest', Tanya?
I forgot...
()
Sil: You better not be planning anything stupid Tanya..
*hugs back*
:D
Hi Soph!
(*hugs Soph* hey!)
(Hello, Silente. *hugs her back* Now I can roleplay.
Hello Lavender.)
*sighs*
It's not a secret anymore, is it?
Look, I'll be taking over and establishing order. Honestly, I think we need it. Feel free to join.
(Hello, Sophia!)
(Hello, Tia.)
*raises an eyebrow*
You aren't leading Lil. No exceptions.
*spins her again, twice, pulling her back close*
Sil2: sure. Wine.
()
Sil: establishing order? Tanya..
Fine. Just don't get in my way. I have an army to lead.
See you around.
*walks off*
Liliana: I hope you understand that I will easily be able to take revenge on you for this. *sighs and continues to dance*
Alexandra: *walks to the living room where the wine bottle still lays, half-drunken* *fills both her glass and Silente's before sitting down in the chair*
()
Sil: *sighs*
Bye Tanya..try not to cause too much havoc
Msd(msfa?)... May start falling asleep.
*watches role playing*
Revenge?
*raises an eyebrow*
I'm not exactly trying to murder you.
Sil2: *sits in a different chair, swilling her glass around slightly*
Liliana: No, but this has somewhat ruined a fairly good evening. Do not worry - I have a plan.
Alexandra: I should probably get changed.
*rolls eyes*
If it means that much to you
*switches to the followers steps, letting Lil lead*
Sil2: yeah. Your shirt is a bit holy
Liliana: Thank you. *twirls Silente*
Alexandra: Yes, it is. One moment. *gets up, placing her wine on the table, walking out of the living room and up the stairs*
(@Sil ded)
*sighs*
*walks over to Hope*
Sil's not joining the conquest. What about you, Hope?
*twirls then draws in close to Lil again*
You're welcome. Wouldn't want the wraph of Liliana upon me.
*smiles*
Sil2: *sips her wine, settling into the chair*
(Shh! Never!)
*shakes her head*
Sorry, Tanya. Not really interested.
Liliana: And you act like this will change anything other than the severity of my wrath.
Alexandra: *comes back a moment later dressed in a purple top and a black jacket* Getting shot is not pleasant.
*sighs*
(Sil...)
Fine! *stalks back to her bunker*
*drinks blood*
This isn't getting me off the hook? Damn. What will?
Sil2: it doesn't tend to be
Liliana: *shrugs* Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I want to have fun. And my plan will be very fun. Not that you will think so. Or at least, I do not think you will.
Alexandra: Especially not a shotgun. *sits back down* Hardly the most painful experience of my life, but not pleasant.
*sighs*
What are you going to do?
Sil2: yeah..I image you've been through worse..
I think I'll have to get going to bed now... Almost one...
Good night!
I hope to be back tomorrow(nighttime for you), before you guys all turn in.
*hugs*
*poofs*
(*hugs Lav before she -poofs* BYE!)
