Abd I don't have the authority

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I'm great right now, Silente :) Although I have a really bad cold, which is strange because I got through the whole of winter without getting one and it's the middle of summer right now.
Hey Zaf! It's already Christmas morning for me :P

(Yey Zaf!)

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I don't think anyone ever really wants to get eaten, Inky :P Except maybe people with a cannibalism fetish, but that's besides the point.
I'm going to go now, I have parents to wake up. Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy Christmas Eve!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: you're authoritative! And you nearly killed Mark..

Garret Falcone said...

Wolfgang: I see... *nods*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: I know. She is only so hard on you because... Well, she doesn't really like you... And she's protective of me... Because whilst you may have had a lot of relationships beforehand, I haven't. *she sighs slightly* You will be my first. And my last.

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *shouts*anna...bring belle here

Inky Flame said...

Um okay..:where to?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*laughs at the 'she doesn't really like you' part*
*smiles slightly*
No need to sound so sad about that..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: Uh..Okay?
*walks out holding Belle*
*freezes when she sees the situation*

Garret Falcone said...

Just you know... Out *nods*
(we need something to happen...
Something big or dangerous! And it thickens the storyline... ?)

Inky Flame said...

Cole: *says calmly * mark wants some alone time with the pups or wolf gets it...what do you think?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: I'm not sad. I'm happy. I just hope you stay safe...

Inky Flame said...

(Okay...but like what?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Annabelle: *looks at Cole, holding Belle closer*
A-alone time..?


Mark: *sighs, pressing the knife deeper* is it really so hard to say yes?


MrBBWolf: *holds his breath, holding still*
*whispers* please..

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles*
Me? Stay safe?

Inky Flame said...

(Welcome doll)

Number? *tilts head*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Yes, it is odd. The number is 7. Surprisingly the disc has seven written on it too

Savannah said...

(Inky and Tia, do you want to continue from yesterday? I said I'd be back in ten... Whoops...)

Inky Flame said...

Hmmm... *thinks*
Is it a kind of disc that'll play in a DVD player?

Inky Flame said...

(Okay ^.^)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Yes

Garret Falcone said...

(Thank you Honey *huggles tightly* )

Savannah said...

Inky Flame said...

Felix: Kayleigh...what's her power?

(*huggles tightly*)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: If you wish *puts it into the dvd player* *The screen shows Ed stood on the top of a building in London*

Hello honey, I recorded this as... as I will be busy at Christmas. I may be able to pop round but Mercy and Smith will look after you, there is a thing, hell to be exact which will descend. I have to depart now, remember everything is never as it seems goodbye *screen cuts out*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: I don't know, he was starting his hell project then. *hands her the key* I don't know what its for

Inky Flame said...

(What is the key for
The tardis or something?)

Savannah said...

I heard you admit that what she said was true, about how you only lied to me and was with me for pity! I do love you but obviously you don't feel the same way! Now for god's sake, leave me alone!

Edward Fletcher said...

(The arch)

Inky Flame said...

Felix: I do love you! *kisses*

Kayleigh: *runs out of a side lane, into Felix* *pushes him over* Give up Felix, I've won! *smirks*

Edward Fletcher said...

*There is a small keyhole to the right of the arch*

Mercy: What is this place?

Inky Flame said...

Felix: why? *stands up and grabs her arm* why the hell would you do it?

Savannah said...

Kayleigh: *smiles at the sight of Velvet running round the corner* Revenge...

Inky Flame said...

Felix: what did she do? *turns Into his demon form*

Inky Flame said...

Savannah said...

Kayleigh: The little bitch killed my parents... She won't remember, she got concussion afterwards... But she left me an orphan and that can't go unpunished...

Edward Fletcher said...

Arch: Please hold... No souls match your search

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* b but he's dead ...


Felix: *growls* I won't let you get away with this *shoves her to the ground and follows Vel*

Edward Fletcher said...

Arch: The closest match is Thomas Fletcher. No Edward Fletcher available

Inky Flame said...

T that must mean *turns to mercy* he's alive ...

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: *quickly* No, you killed him remember

Arch: Would you like to speak to Thomas Fletcher or search for another soul?

Inky Flame said...

Thomas fletcher please

*to mercy* I stabbed him but I didn't are him for because he teleported me away

Garret Falcone said...

I'm good thank you Chlo,

Ded:

Its the time of presents, family, good will, overeating and booze *smiles* its a time of happiness and family parties.
I also ded to a special someone, ill describe this person and you can figure out who it is:
This person is an amazingly amazing person,
They are really helpful and a pleasure to be around with
They are really nice
And love huggles
They're really cuddly
And are the bestest person ever!
And i loves this secret person and would be lost without them (by now you'll know who I'm describing)

Edward Fletcher said...

Arch: Selected

Mercy: He is dead, get it into your head

Thomas: Inky, I didn't expect to see you again

Inky Flame said...

(Hear hear to the first part!)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hear hear to both parts)

Inky Flame said...

Hey *smiles* just wanted to check if your father is over your side ?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*cuddles Chloe* Hear hear!)

Edward Fletcher said...

Thomas: I don't think so, why?

Garret Falcone said...

*Huggles Chloe* don't you mean hear hear to both parts? Because part two is true because I know it is *nods* )

(Thank you Ed And Kas )

Inky Flame said...

(*cuddles Kassy*)

Edward Fletcher said...

Tomas: *Look at Mercy*

Mercy: *Glares at Thomas*

Thomas: Oh, sorry I made a mistake, he is over my side

Inky Flame said...

(I don't know abouyt the second part...*huggles*)

Inky Flame said...

Edward Fletcher said...

Thomas: *nervously* The power is going, I have to depart now. Good to see you again

Mercy: I am tired, I am going to my room *Heads to the cottage*

(gtg, bye)

Inky Flame said...

Byii! and also you have a new baby sioster and brother!

(byii Ed! nadolig llawen)

Garret Falcone said...

I was describing you Chlo! *continues hugging* )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Chloe You're working too hard on disagreeing with it to see what it's actually saying. It's not about what you think you are, it's what others think.

You might think you're the most unhuggable person in the world, and yet that's not true because we think you're amazing and give you warm huggles and cuddles all the time.

*huggles Chloe*)

Savannah said...

Flo: *tries calling Felix again*

Inky Flame said...

(thanks Kas... *huggles*)

Felix: *sighs*
*answers*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Huh. It's a bit ironic how in films America always saves Earth from aliens and non-Americans have come to hate it, when in reality, America probably would be the country to save us.)

Savannah said...

Flo: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?!

Inky Flame said...

Felix: *winces* nothing...Kay influenced her...now she thinks I don't love her...and she wont listen

Savannah said...

Flo: Kayleigh would never do that! *sighs* Do you want me to pass you over?

Inky Flame said...

Felix: well she did! and okay

(aww everyones ganging up on my baby *cuddles felix* -I get protective over him-)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Chloe Simulator 2015:

That's cowing lush, Bach!)

Inky Flame said...

(*laughs* I don't think you realise how accurate that is XD)

Savannah said...

Flo: *walks upstairs and finds Velvet* Shit, she's got a knife! *grabs the knife off her*

Inky Flame said...

Felix: what?! ill be there now *runs*

Inky Flame said...

(I thought flo was 11?)
