«Oldest ‹Older 4401 – 4600 of 4873 Newer› Newest»MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
:D
I'm getting up in ten minutes to jumps on my parents' bed and convince them to open the stockings, so msd.
Cole: I guess so... I mean I was supposed to take over the pack
(Merry Christmas Saph!)
Annabelle: You were?
(Merry Christmas Saph!
Hehe)
Intrigued by what?
Cole: *smiles* yes but I turned down the offer
Hey Inky! *flyingtackleglomps*
*flyingtackleglomps everyone to save myself the effort of replying individually*
How are you guys?
(Merry Christmas Saph!! )
(*eats Chloe* )
Wolf: Nothing in particular.... *continues looking around*
(*gets glomped* I'm excited for tomoz ^^)
(I'm okay Saph, you?)
Annabelle: why..?
MORNING! Oh god tomorrow I'm barely going to stay sane I think I may have gotten AOH so I may start screeching.-Zaf
(I don't wanna get eaten )
*chris is in living room with babies*
Bethany: They're hardly ideal...
Cole: too much to handle....it's rare but you still have to kill rogues. I wouldn't be able too
Abd I don't have the authority
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!)
But we make them work..
SAPHY-fish!
I MISS YOUUUUUUUUU
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!
Annabelle: you're authoritative! And you nearly killed Mark..
Bethany: Of course we do. *smiles*
*cuddles Beth*
Does your mother approve of me yet?
(Fabi! I miss you too :( I'll be back on here tomorrow, I swear.)
(well im going to eat you anyway! *goes to eat Chlo anyway* )
Wolf: Alright sir? *nods at Chris*
Cole: thanks for believing that bit I'm not able to lead a hundred wolves
And if I had the chance to actually finish mark off...I'd feel terrible even after what he did to you
*ACTUALLY DISAPPEARS*
(*tastes horrible*)
Chris: yes *had hands full *
Bethany: I think so? I don't know...
*hugs Sapphy and Zaffy and eats cookies because Dark Side of Blogland has an underground cookie factory*
*nods*
(Chloe are youuuuuuuuu getting drunk???)
Annabelle: A hundred??
Mark: *comes aknocking on Inky's door, holding MrBBWolf tight, a knife to his throat*
Damn it I will get time with my kids.
(Tomorrow I will
So will my whole family
Of over twenty people)
*sighs*
Probably not..
(*isn't too fussy* )
Wolf: Good good *smiles and looks at the babies* these yours?
Cole: yes...I'll get that
*goes and opens the door*
*sees mark and wolf* you!
They are mine yes...but not chris's
This is lilith tegan an Ben
Mark: Hey a**hole. You know what I want so I won't bother with the demands.
Annabelle: Cole Copper and Justin heading your way!
Copper: *runs towards Cole, Justin snapping at his hind legs*
(Don't get, drunk, I'm serious!
*goes to eat*)
Cole: *picks up the pups by their scruffs* you won't have them *growls*
Wolfg: Well you have a nice family, miss flame *nods*
*the pups whimper, tails between their legs, confused*
Mark: *digs the knife in until Wolf cries out*
I wi slot his throat.
(GUYS! GLITTER OR CRAYONS?)
Bethany: We will be fine. I promise.
I hope so..I wish your mum wouldn't be so hard on me...I try...
(I never actually get drunk
Just enough to talk to people
Glitter)
Thanks but I met chris today
Cole: *growls * you dare ...:this won't make the kids like you
If you kidnap them I won't hesitate to kill you
(Okay..
Hmmm..
*is mentally debating which would be EASIER out of glitter and crayons..*)
Mark: *laughs* Crawl back to daddy Cole. All I'm asking is for alone time with my kids..otherwise..
MrBBWolf: *cries out again and blood starts trickling down his neck, the knife pressing in more*
Wolfgang: I see... *nods*
I must be going.... Yeah? *goes to find the door *
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.
Cole: *shouts*anna...bring belle here
Um okay..:where to?
*laughs at the 'she doesn't really like you' part*
*smiles slightly*
No need to sound so sad about that..
Annabelle: Uh..Okay?
*walks out holding Belle*
*freezes when she sees the situation*
Just you know... Out *nods*
(we need something to happen...
Something big or dangerous! And it thickens the storyline... ?)
Cole: *says calmly * mark wants some alone time with the pups or wolf gets it...what do you think?
Bethany: I'm not sad. I'm happy. I just hope you stay safe...
(Okay...but like what?)
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..
*smiles*
Me? Stay safe?
*kisses the tip of Beth's nose*
Never..
(Dangerous you say, I arrived just in time is suppose.
Hello as well)
Cole: let's make it an hour...what about if he doesn't make it back with them fully safe I kill him
(Hello Jacko! How art thou?)
(I be good thanks Chloe, you?)
(Hey Ed.)
Annabelle: *looks uncertain* the pups..
Mark: are mine too.
(I don't know... I was kinda hoping you had an idea *nods*)
(Hello Jai, you can call me Jack if you wish)
Mercy: *Finishes drink in the pub and decides to head to the cottage* *Arrives*
(I'm okay thans ^.^
Nadolig llawen !)
Cole: I promise I won't let him hurt them
(Merry Christmas Chloe)
*smells Mercy*
*growls*
(Uhhhhhh I don't know...)
Mercy: *holds hands up* What did I ever do to you Miss Flame?
(Diolch Bach ^,^)£
(@Chloe ?)
I dot like people messing with my head
Bethany: ... That's what I'm worried about...
Annabelle: *swallows and looks at Wolf*
...Okay..
*looks at Mark*
If you do ANYTHING to harm these pups I will track you down and kill you.
Mark: course you will
*lets MrBBWolf go*
(Thank you ^.^
Bach is a term of endearment
REPOooo MAN!)
Cole; *relictantly hands over the boys*
Dont worry Beth..
(Okay Chlo *nods* (for not really having any idea... It makes two of us)
(Oh)
Mercy: I didn't mess with your head
(Damn! Oh well!
Ded.... Will be done soon )
Mark: *smirks, taking them*
And Belle.
Annabelle: *hands belle over looking like she'd rather gouge her eyes out*
Mark: bye.
*turns and walks off*
Well stop saying my secrets out loud !
Cole: *hugs Anna tightly* it'll be fine
Mercy: What secrets? I am here to drop off my stuff. I take it my room is on the top floor
You are not staying here!
Annabelle: *hugs Cole back*
...follow him
(Imagine inkys face like my profile pic as she said that XD)
Mercy: Yes I am, your late... friend asked me to stay here
(be distant because FOOD!!!
Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom )
(Christmas profile pic)
Bethany: Please be safe...
Cole: *nods okay*
Be safe
*changes into a wolf and sets off silent as the night*
I will be Beth..as safe as normal..
(Yup ^,^
And okay sweetie !!)
Annabelle: *watches Cole*
Mark: *hums happily to himself, walking along with the pups*
Finally..
(Mercy replied by the way)
Late friend? Ed was my husband...and who are you to him?
Cole: *follows him quietly*
Mercy: I was his doctor, and in his will he asked me to stay and protect you
Bethany: Promise?
Did he really?
(Hey everyone, I'm on! For now...
Mercy: Yes, I would tell you to ask him but that is rather difficult. Now *walks past her* I can get my own food, don't worry
(Hello Velvet.)
(Hello Soph, how are you?)
*gives cookies to people who have joined the Dark Side of Blogland*
*gives cookies to other people too, just to keep everyone guessing*
*mutters* apparently manners aren't required
(I am depressed, yourself?)
(Hey, Velv!)
(Hello Velvet and Tanya)
Mercy: I was cold an you forget I know what you are thinking. Can I ask you a question, do you miss him?
(Hey Vel!)
I finally posted on The New Challenge! :D
I...can't stand it *shakes* I miss him so much
(Hello Fabi)
Mercy: You haven't seen the grave yet murderer
I have to lo after the children...and please don't call me that
(Hi Tia! Thanks For the cookie! How are you? *nibbles cookie* Yes it is your turn...
I'm better than I was earlier today but still not great...
Hello Ed, how are you?)
(Hey Ed and Fabi!)
Mercy: Fine, but as you did murder him you are a murderer
(Hey Inky, how are you?)
(I'm alright thanks ^.^)
*flinches* I k know ...
(Good thank you Velvet)
Mercy: He did leave you something in his will by the way.
H he did?
(Back!)
Mercy: Yes, he left you all his worldly possessions. Not much but there are a few things you may be interested in. A key, a disc and a number
(Welcome doll)
Number? *tilts head*
Mercy: Yes, it is odd. The number is 7. Surprisingly the disc has seven written on it too
(Inky and Tia, do you want to continue from yesterday? I said I'd be back in ten... Whoops...)
Hmmm... *thinks*
Is it a kind of disc that'll play in a DVD player?
(Okay ^.^)
Mercy: Yes
(Thank you Honey *huggles tightly* )
*starts crying* Why are you trying to blame it on Kayleigh? Please, just get off and leave me alone...
Shall we play it
Felix: Kayleigh...what's her power?
(*huggles tightly*)
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*

*RUNS AROUND IN WONKY CIRCLE-LIKE THINGS*
I WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHIGN BUT WHAT -

She can control people... Now get off!
(Hi/bye Star)
*stares at the screen * nothing is as it seems...? What's he on about?
Where's the key
(*hugs Star-Bubble*)
*looks up at Tanya (or whoever you are rping as)* Help...
Felix: don't you love me and didn't I tell you my feelings ? And now you believe exactly what she told you...
Mercy: I don't know, he was starting his hell project then. *hands her the key* I don't know what its for
(What is the key for
The tardis or something?)
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!
(The arch)
Felix: I do love you! *kisses*
*pushes him away* Get! Off! Me!
(Okay ^.^)

Mercy: Wait up Miss Flame
Felix: *sits Bach and looks shocked* Vel...
(I be great

*gets up and turns into a tiger before running off*
Felix: wait up! *runs after her*
Mercy: *runs after her*
*arrives at the arch*
*runs faster*
Kayleigh: *runs out of a side lane, into Felix* *pushes him over* Give up Felix, I've won! *smirks*
*There is a small keyhole to the right of the arch*
Mercy: What is this place?
Felix: why? *stands up and grabs her arm* why the hell would you do it?
Kayleigh: *smiles at the sight of Velvet running round the corner* Revenge...
You can e transported anywhere
And ed could use it to talk to his dead son...
*places key in the hole *
Felix! Just let her go. Get over it!
Velvet: *gets to the house and becomes human* *collapses and starts crying*
Flo: *opens the door* Velvet? *helps her in* What happened?
Velvet: Felix... *spits*
Flo: *takes Velvet upstairs, then calls Felix*
Mercy: Oh, right
Arch: Select the destination you wish to visit or the soul you wish to speak to
Felix: what did she do? *turns Into his demon form*
Edward fletcher...I want to talk to edward fletcher
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...
Arch: Please hold... No souls match your search
*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*
Arch: The closest match is Thomas Fletcher. No Edward Fletcher available
T that must mean *turns to mercy* he's alive ...
Mercy: *quickly* No, you killed him remember
Arch: Would you like to speak to Thomas Fletcher or search for another soul?
Thomas fletcher please
*to mercy* I stabbed him but I didn't are him for because he teleported me away
I'm good thank you Chlo,
And that's good how you're great *nods* )
Ded:
I ded to Christmas because its a lovely time of year!
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)
Arch: Selected
Mercy: He is dead, get it into your head
Thomas: Inky, I didn't expect to see you again
(Hear hear to the first part!)
(Hear hear to both parts)
Hey *smiles* just wanted to check if your father is over your side ?
(*cuddles Chloe* Hear hear!)
Thomas: I don't think so, why?
*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 )
*looks at Mercy* because I was told he was dead...
(*cuddles Kassy*)
Tomas: *Look at Mercy*
Mercy: *Glares at Thomas*
Thomas: Oh, sorry I made a mistake, he is over my side
(I don't know abouyt the second part...*huggles*)
*narrows eyes* you are lying...
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)
Byii! and also you have a new baby sioster and brother!
(byii Ed! nadolig llawen)
I was describing you Chlo! *continues hugging* )
(@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*)
Flo: *tries calling Felix again*
(thanks Kas... *huggles*)
Felix: *sighs*
*answers*
(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.)
Flo: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SISTER?!
Felix: *winces* nothing...Kay influenced her...now she thinks I don't love her...and she wont listen
Flo: Kayleigh would never do that! *sighs* Do you want me to pass you over?
Felix: well she did! and okay
(aww everyones ganging up on my baby *cuddles felix* -I get protective over him-)
(Chloe Simulator 2015:
That's cowing lush, Bach!)
(*laughs* I don't think you realise how accurate that is XD)
Flo: *walks upstairs and finds Velvet* Shit, she's got a knife! *grabs the knife off her*
Felix: what?! ill be there now *runs*
(I thought flo was 11?)
