Christmas is coming...
My Christmas tree is up, the Nightmare Before Christmas decorations hang happily beside the boys from South Park, there are presents... Every time you turn on the MTV Christmas channel you're treated to "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey...
Soon it will be time for "Love Actually" to appear on TV. I do love "Love Actually", actually.
And to help you, my Minions, prepare for this holiday season, we at Skulduggery Towers have made for you a Christmas card that you can send out into the digital world. Because we're nice like that.

Haven't the foggiest
When I'm not writing, ideas happen way too fast, but when I sit down and make them try to come out, they just don't.
*nods in understanding*
Same thing happens to me too. Get on a computer and face a blank screen, everything leaves.
Story ideas seem awesome inside your head, but once you try to get them in written form, they just don't want to come out.
*realizes*
Right, that was basically the same thing you just said. I think I'm going to stop talking for a bit...
Bye, El! Have a good night!
And then it doesn't seem like I can...
Good morning / afternoon / evening / what ever time it is for you other people
[hugs Elleni and Lav]
Probably...
Night.
Night Fabi!
Hi Rhos!
Gah, I fell asleep! D: It's not even dinner time yet...
*wonders where everyone has gone*
*has fallen asleep again but both times was woken up by her iPod notifications sounds*
*just remembered something*
Didn't Scarlet already say she wasn't Danni?
*now she can't remember*
*might fall back asleep again*
You know what would be a good Christmas movie? Brother Bear. I don't really know why, but it has a good meaning and most of the movie is set in winter anyway.
*might just be talking to no one, but doesn't really care*
Morning hope, I'm was reading on a post (I was reading the when when I first joined) and just to say Rhos is my legit name you now (so it is my actual name )
Hello! *echoes* hello.... hello.... hello...
Sorry! Fell asleep again... Man I'm tired... And I'm not sure if I missed dinner or not...
*notices that her bottom lip somehow got numb in her sleep*
It feels strange...
*decides to go check about dinner*
Sorry. Be back later!
Tis okay and see you laters Hope
(*paces*)
(*forwards forwards forwards spin forwards forwards forwards spin forwards forwards forwards spin forwards forwards forwards spin *)
(*will be off to town soon*
*is actually dreading it*
*she doesn't want to lose her phone for however long it will take*
*she NEEDS her phone*
*and if she misses it Christmas..*
*Christmas is the time for people you love*
*Matty...Gemma...Soph...El...Dug...EVERYONE*
*sighs*)
Oh no, Sil! D:
Can't you get on a computer or try to?
*is back for a little bit, but will have to go again soon*
(I can try. I probably won't get much time if I do..)
:(
*hugs*
What about any other devices? Do you have anything else you could use?
(*hugs back* my old phone..but it takes forever and crashes apps regularly.)
Hmm... I know how that feels if you had to use it. My old iPod is loads slower and also crashes a lot...
*hugs again*
Still, it would be good to see you comment once in a while during the time your phone gets fixed, so try to come whenever you can!
*smiles encouragingly*
(-flops- I'm hoping it only takes an hour or two..)
That would be awesome if it does. How bad is the phone?
*makes a wish*
Hehe, 11:11, wishing time. :)
(The crack is from one side to the other. It's a single crack. No parts have fallen out, it hasn't shattered, it's just a single crack.)
Then maybe there's hope! :D
It doesn't sound so bad.
(Well dad agrees it isn't that bad but mum and Kayleigh say it is.)
Oh... Still, let's hope and try to be positive about it.
*smiles again*
(Yeah lets hope.)
Sorry, I gotta go now.
*hugs*
If I don't come back before you have to go, see you later. :)
(Okay..
*hugs*
Well guys..on my way to town..don't know when next I can be on.
Bye everyone..
*leaves hugs for everyone, every single person, then leaves*)
. . .
*looks at my phone screen with multiple cracks radiatinig out from near the top-left corern, some making it across the width of the phone and one stretching down to almost the bottom-right corner. The most cracked part is full of small shards of glass, and glass occasionally falls out of it*
*looks at Sil getting her phone screen mended over a single crack with no big issues attached to it*
*looks at all the people who tell me I need to get my phone mended*
*hides in a hole*
Good luck, Sil. :( I hope it only takes a short amount of time.
*hugs*
*corner
*bottom-left
Not bottom-right. My bottom-right corner is clean. :P
SO
IT IS MORNING (or was half an hour ago)
THE SUN IS (weakly) SHINING
THE (metaphorical) BIRDS ARE SINGING
IT IS THE HOLIDAYS
AND
I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO!
HI STAR ARE YOU STILL ON
IF SO THEN I UNDERSTAND YOU, FRIEND *pats knowingly/wisely on Star's left shoulder, staring into the sunset while sitting in a bleak desert populated solely by cacti*
*you know, like the guys in all those Westerns*
So I watched this Bollywood movie called PK.
And it's amazing.
*lurks in the sunshine, because shadows are overrated*
*aggressively exists*
*at least, I think I do...*
*falls into a state of minor existential crisis*
(*runs back joyously and hugs everyone* Phone will be mended tomorrow! It'll only take an hour! It's fine! It costs LOADS)
*tacklehugs Sil*
YAY!!!!!! :D
SIL MY WISH CAME TRUE! :D
(*walks in, pushing a huge cake with the words "Garky's 6 weekaversary" in swirly letters* PARTY TIME! *throws confetti and starts the music before realising neither Rhos or Chloe are on* Oh... *remembers today is the big snowball fight I planned* YAY!)
And now, if only I could wish for wifi that works... -_-
(*tackle hugs Lav* your wish?)
(WHO WANTS TO TAKE PART IN THE SNOWBALL FIGHT?!)
*elbows Vel teasingly*
If only you'd come on a little earlier. ;P
It's night time over where I am now. I won't be able to party or play for long.
AND MIDNIGHT HERE STARTS THE CHRISTMAS PARTY :D
Too bad most of you guys are Britiminions... It's not going to be so fun because you guys are only mostly on when I'm sleeping...
Yup. *points at the time she made a wish*
I wished for it to take only an hour or two to get your phone fixed. :)
(Yes Lav but we will just have to party without you and then you will be upset that you don't get to party with me! Actually I am usually awake past midnight so... I'll be there!)
*actually really doesn't like snowball fights*
Do you know how much they actually hurt? Especially when you get hit in the eye... That happened to me twice.
It's also not fair that I have such bad aim. I get hit, but can't hit back. :(
I'm also horrible at fast role playing. Plus my wifi is slow, so that's even worse...
Sorry, Vel.
(Aww thanks Lav!)
*hugs Sil*
*is way too warm because of the device*
(Hello, Blogland!)
Maybe...
*sighs*
I wish there were more Aussieminions on...
Also, tomorrow I'm going to be pretty busy, so I might not even be able to come.
Speaking of which, I am actually starting to dread the upcoming few days... There's one adult coming and she's really strict about me being on here so much, so I may not even be able to come on much during the holidays...
*sighs again*
Sorry, I'm being a party pooper. You guys have fun, I'll just...
*mumbles something about fading*
(No worries Lav!
Sil, Tia, do you want to have a snowball fight?)
(*hugs Lav* I'm sorry...)
*mumbles*
It's not your fault...
Hi Tia
(*hugs Hope* Try to have a good time, Hope...
@Velv Hey! :)I'm sorry, I am eating right now :/ so maybe in 15 minutes. Like, I'll be refreshing and reading but my hands are full.)
(Okay Tia!)
(Snowball fight?)
(Yup!)
(Hmm..when Tia comes back *nods*)
(Yay! Thanks Sil!)
(Youre welcome! Although going up against a vampire who's never had a surge and has had over a hundred years to dabble in different magic might not be the smartest idea)
Derek. :) :) :)
(Okay! It will be a new experience! Plus, I can do stuff with snow so... Hopefully I'll make it out alive!)
(Hi Taia, do you want to be part of the snowball fight?)
11:11
*makes a wish*
Hi Taia! Remember me?
*hugs*
It's been a while. :)
(Hello, Taia.
Hello, Blogland!)
What's cool is, I can make four wishes in a day. ;)
The time in the UK can count too. And where I live. So...
Welcome back, Tia.
(Hey Tia! Now who's ready for a snowball fight?!)
(Yes! c:)
(You can make a wish every hour at eleven minutes past.)
*may poof soon*
* wishes she'd cut her nails today*
They're getting really long...
*has no idea why she's mentioning it*
Hi, Velvet! :)
Sounds fun - Sure.
Not that I really know how to snowball fight. Are there rules I should know? :P
Lavender! Hello! *hugs*
I certainly do. :)
It's lovely to see you - how are you doing? :)
Hullo, Tia! *hugs* :)
That's... Actually true...
Hmm...
*plots a way to get all her wishes out to the universe faster so it can make them come true*
I'm doing well. :) It's good to see you too. I'm happy to see you coming on sometimes.
@Lavender/Sil: xD
Clever. :P ^^
(NO RULES and you can use magic!)
Velvet: *is by the lake, watching the snow settle*
I know, right?
Made three wishes that way, and they've all come true already. :)
I think I'll go to bed now. Good night guys, and have fun.
*smiles and poofs*
(Good night, Hope!)
*tacklehugs Velv, throwing snow all over her*
Sil2: *watches from afar, perched in a tree*
@Lav: Good to hear. :)
*nods* It's hard to find the time at the moment, so I'm happy to see myself coming on, too. :P
@Velvet:BAH. Magic. Who needs magic? *will be using raw human strength*
*coincidentally, doesn't presently possess a magical ability. :P*
(But then, how do you win?)
Oh, night, Lavender! I was nice seeing you, briefly! Sleep well! *waves*
*screams and turns around* *brings hands together, drawing snow into them and pushes them out, creating a wave of snow which crashes onto Tia*
*is in a fort made out of cardboard boxes* Ah Ha! )
(*pauses* I have no idea Taia...)
(Rhos! Happy six weekaversary! *tacklehugs* Now we just need Chloe... Until then, do you want to join in with the snowball fight?)
TAIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Hunter says he'd like to participate. :P
*in the snowball fight
(hello! I'll put up a profile pic laters.....
IM HERE TO THROW SOME SNOW BALLS!!!!!
(Hey Gar and Sil!)
*gets toppled by snow*
*gasps* °W° *looks around*
*looks confused*
*starts making a snowball fort*
(Hey, Star, Ez and Hunter!)
*is tacklehugged* thank you Vel and I'm not sire when Chloe is coming on, so lets go! Throw Snow!
(Yay Star and Gar! Tia and I are by the lake!)
Hunter: *appears, and stands there rocking back and forth on his feet, taking in this inferior version of a situation*
(@Velvet: *laughs* Well, I'm glad that's settled. :P)
*panics suddenly*
*finds a sizeable rock to hide behind?*
*shadow walks to Vel and drops a large lump of snow on your head* Surprise!
(STAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! *hugs*
You're back to the blog, I'm guessing? :))
Hi, Garrett! :)
*raises arms an a wall of snow comes up in front of me* *presses hand against a section which then turns to ice and serves purpose as a window* *builds a raised platform on one side to throw snowballs from*
(Hunter: @Tia: Ez isn't here.
*pauses*
*normally he says that sentence with 'Star' instead of 'Ez'*
*hmm*
*he briefly wonders if it's disrespectful to Ez to use that sentence on her, before remembering that if it is then all the better*
Hello, anyway. :) I haven't seen . . . you or anyone in a while. Nice to see you.
Hello, Velvet. :))
*turns around and shoves a fistful of snow into Gar's face* *turns to see Taia and sweeps an arm to the side, removing the rock* Boo! *grins at Taia*
(Hunter: @Taia: Yep, she is.
*is pleased to be taking over Star's conversation*)
Hunter: *frowns at Velvet* Now, that's just cheating.
*he likes cheating*
*teleports over to her wall of snow and leans against it, glowing as he heats up* *the snow begins to melt*
*watches Velvet's snow-fort rise from the ground*
*tentatively opens an umbrella*
I fear I may be at a severe disadvantage, here. :P
(Hi! Star!)
Well I can see the snowball fight is on. *leaves*-Zaf
Hunter: *chucks a snowball at Taia's umbrella, just because he likes to watch snow bouncing off umbrellas*
*water begins to drip down his back due to the melting, and he frowns and kicks the snow-wall in annoyance*
(Hunter: Bye Zaf. :D)
(Hunter: @Velvet: Star isn't here just now, sorry.
*ah, there's that sentence*)
*holds her hands out, solidifying it again* *reaches through part of the section melting and taps Hunter, freezing him* *reaches back through and makes the wall solid again* Sorry Taia, you can come join me here if you want?
(Just to say everyone, you can team up)
Sorry I just don't feel like being ignored today if I decided to jump in. It would only anger me further. -Zaf
(Okay Zaf... Sorry *hugs*)
Hunter: *absorbs the freezing-magic-energy-stuff and glows even hotter* *grins*
*then again, standing there melting isn't very fun, so he retreats a few steps and cools down enough to pick up a handful of snow*
(Zaffy! :/)
*hides in her fort and keeps building a massive stockpile of snowballs*
(Hunter: Okay Zaf.
@Velvet: Teams are fun. :))
Sorry, Tia, but it's true. The minute I jump in my comments just get ignored because I came in so late. Nobody thought about the American time zones at all.
-Zaf
Hunter: *knows Tia's there, but isn't paying attention to that fact*
*pauses after patting his snowball into shape, and frowns*
*makes the wall grow even higher and then pushes the newly formed section over onto Hunter*
(@Star via Hunter: Nice to see. :)
Also, Hey, Hunter! C: )
(*hugs Zaf* ..?)
*blinks as her rock is swept away*
Yes, Velvet, tHat might be nice. *dashes across to the Snow Fortress* :)
*keeps making snowballs*
Hunter: *!*
*jumps out of the pile of snow, drops his snowball on the pile, fires a wide laserbeam consisting of heat, light, and little elsethrough Velvet's wall, then very quickly picks up his snowball and fires it through the hole he's made in the wall*
*touches a section of the wall which moves away to give Taia an entry*
(Star: @Taia: You too! :) *hugs*
Also, yeah. Back for an indetermined amount of time. :P)
Hunter: Sorry, Taia.
*chucks another snowball through the whole he's created*
(@Zaf: :/
I don't think it's far in at all?
I mean, I still don't know what's going on, so..?)
Thanks, Velvet!
*begins forming snowballs rapidly*
*quickly creates a bat of ice and hits the snowball back through the hole* *covers the hole up with thick ice*
*sighs* Why? Sorry I haven't been happy since I woke.-Zaf
*appears* Hello, Hunter. You haven't been here in some time, have you?
Meza got to disappear now.....
Have with snow!
*blocks up the entryway with more ice*
Hunter: . . . *blinks*
*bat of ice*
*that's new*
*gets hit by the snowball because he's too busy thinking about the bat of ice, and sighs*
*looks at Tia*
*sits down and begins making a pile of snowballs*
(Hi Alastair! Want to join in?
Bye Rhos!)
Hunter: Hi, Alastair. :)
No, I haven't. Blame Star.
Hey, Alastair.-Zaf
(Hunter: @Velvet asking Alastair to join in: *raises eyebrow in amused way*)
*watches everyone making snowballs and decides I don't need to make them* *grins as a plan comes to mind and waits for everyone exept Taia to finish*
(*frowns* What's wrong with asking Alastair?)
Would you like to die? He'd kill us all just to see if he could.-Zaf
((No, Velvet, I have no interest in joining.))
You've come purely for the snowball fight, I assume. Are there none in your time?
Hunter: *doesn't see Velvet's grin, on account of her being in a snow fortress*
*he's making snowballs quite quickly, and has almost finished*
*watches Hunter with curiosity, waiting till the last snowball has formed*
(Hey, Alastair!
Bye, Gar.
And it appears I must go now.)
*dozens of Tanya's clones appear, taking the stockpiled snowballs and throwing them at everyone they see*
((I have no doubt that I could, Zafira, and therefore no reason to find out. I'll start killing people if I feel their deaths would benefit me.))
(*hugs Zaf* :/
Hello, Alastair!
Bye, Garrett!)
Ice bat's a good move, Velvet. O_O
*continues piling snowballs*
What's the grin for?
(Okay Alastair, how are you?
Bye Tia!)
*jumps at the sight of the clones and is hit many times by snowballs* *summons all of Tia and Hunter's snowballs and starts throwing them at everyone outside of the fort*
(Hunter: *looks confused* Nothing's wrong with asking Alastair.)
Hunter: @Alastair: *tosses a snowball up in the air and tries to catch up, but it breaks over his hands* *frowns*
Nope. We have snow in my time, so we have snowball fights. I've just been busy.
*his eyes darken slightly, and he pauses a moment, before reaching for more snow*
Well okay we're safe from you killing us. Well they are....My Asgardians probably aren't. Oh, Alastair, I should mention that you scare ZafTC so much she is hiding in a closet whimpering about Alexis being a doll.-Zaf
(Aw, bye Tia!)
*pulls up her umbrella against the clones' snowballs*
*readies herself next to her stockpile and takes aim at a Tanya-clone*
Hunter: *his eyes flash red as Velvet steals his snowballs, and he jumps up, catching as many snowballs as he can*
Hunter: *chucks another snowball at Taia's umbrella, but it collides with the path of a different snowball* *dammit*
Thanks Taia! *motions to the stolen snowballs* That's what the grin was for!
*that was one of Star's colloquial phrases, I think. Feel free to change it to something else.
*shruggs and dumps the rest of Hunter's snowballs on his head* Good idea with the umbrella Taia!
*sighs slightly* I really am not compatible with this place anymore...
(*hugs Alastair if he wishes to be hugged*)
*The two Frost Giants glance at each other*
Zanida: They don't get it.
They do not. *grabs snowballs and pelts them at Velv and Hunt, then multiples of himself appear surrounding Velv and Hunter throwing snowballs*
*beams* Sure was grin-worthy, I'll say.
*aims & throws a snowball at Hunter from behind her mortal umbrella*
@Alastair: . . . No, I'm not sure you are.
*frowns, thinking*
*whizzes out of the way of the snowball-pile that Velvet dropped on top of the place he was standing*
*doesn't notice whihc snowball came from Taia under the others from the Tia/Tanya clones and the Frost Giants*
(*hands Alastair a cookie*
*or, like, human flesh, idk about your preferred snack*)
(@Zaf: xD)
*aggressively throwing snowballs at the numerous Lokis' heads*
Do you actually know any of them, Alastair? You are too kind to be compatible, but your old self would be. Remember I know the old you, I know you are compatible. Deep down inside. *hugs* I wish we could get Nic out of you sometimes, but we have you so...-Zaf
(Star: @Alastair: I understand the feeling.
I'm sorry. :/)
*spins, wacking snowballs with the bat, but keeps getting hit* *has an idea and hands the bat to Taia before jumping off the platform to the safety of the fort* *holds arms up and snow flies in through the open top* *moves hands in a circular motion to create a huge Yeti made of snow* *blows him a kiss to animate him* Slushy, I command you to leave the fort and throw snowballs at anyone outside! *Slushy the Yeti jumps over the walls and starts pelting Zanida with snowballs*
(*looks at Zaf*
Yes.
Of course you know the old him.)
*the copies simly vanish and reappear in different places*
Zan, go find Alastair. He's interesting enough.
Zanida: And have my name taken? *sighs and goes, listening to her king*
Zanida: *as soon as snowballs near her they melt due to her flames*
*jumps back up to the raised platform and helps Taia by creating snowballs*
Hunter: *grins and fires another light-and-heat-beam at the Yeti, melting it*
((The self that would easily torture you. I do really miss Niccolò, bur we have Alastair so I can't complain. Even f he's all crazy.-Zaf
*Slushy growls and freezes her*
Boom.
(*looks at Zaf*
. . .)
*holds a hand out to restore Slushy* *Slushy freezes Hunter*
(... :/ )
*nods, and bats back snowballs as they come, in Velvet's absence*
*freezes temporarily because SNOW YETI O_O*
*goes back to throwing and batting*
Thanks, Velv.
*whistles for Jack who appears, giggling* *crouches down* Jack, can you please make us lots of snowballs? *Jack giggles and starts creating more snowballs for Taia* *continues hitting snowballs away*
*can't be frozen* *jumps at Slushi, wrapping his arms around him in a hug, and glows with heat as he does so, making him less hugging a Yeti and more lying in a puddle of water*
*or a puddle of SLUSH*
*not a good name for an ice sculpture you don't want melted, really*
*retreats back to his pile of caught snowballs*
*creates Slushy again, who starts throwing beams of fire*
*looks at Velvet's bat, decide it's too cool to melt, and fires a series of light-and-heat-beams at their snow fort*
Hunter: *looks at Slushi and hesitates* *ice object throwing fire?*
Jack, new job... *hands him the bat* keep the snowballs away from Taia and yourself* *creates another bat and flips over the edge of the fort and begins deflecting the heat beams away from the fort*
I dedicate this page to two people in one body/mind.
First to Alastair, in hope he finds a way to be here and be compatible. I do know you're fun to be around, even if you have tortured Zaf several times. You're awesome, Alice. Remember that.
Niccolò- I hope you can see this because you're really cool, and always had a heart for everyone.
-Zaf
Hello, Jack.
*has no idea who Jack is, but he's very helpful :P*
*considers a change in tactics, and begins to throw snowballs at Hunter's stockpile, obliterating them one by one*
*BATTLE SCREECH*
(Hunter: And how exactly would you deflect heat beams with a bat of ice?)
*Slushy roars*
Hunter: *attacking my stockpile?
Now, that's just unfair*
*stands in front of his stockpile, protecting it, and throws a snowball back at Taia*
(Hear hear,
Taia, he's a snowman I animated the other day, in the same way as Slushy.
*shrugs* In the same way a magnifying glass can deflect light I guess...)
(@Velvet: Hang on. Star may need to google a few things.)
(*sits, watching, flipping through Jelsa drawings, thinking*)
*grabs Hunter's snowballs from behind him and runs up to the fort, tapping the ice, slipping through and covering it up again* Taia! Delivery! *runs up to the platform and helps her attack Hunter*
(Okay Hunter!)
(*throws and catches a tennis ball, leaned against a wall*)
(*hugs Zaf* Hear, Hear.
*hugs Alastair, too, if he's cool with that*)
*Hunter gets in the way of the stockpile, and her snowballs are directed at him again*
(Oh, cool, Velvet.)
(*trying not to make puns :P*)
*Rises out of a shadow next to hunter*
Looks like you could use a hand.
*Two dozen tendrils of shadow shoot up from the ground at his feet. The majority focus on making and throwing snowballs at a rapid pace while the rest deflect incoming attacks*
(*thinks about how Gemma would love this*)
(MSD.)
Whether or not I feign kindness has nothing to do with it, Zafira. So few things interest me here, and I despise boredom.
