First Draft Done!

I... I think I've just sent in the first draft of the new book...

It's rough around the edges, with some bits missing, some chapters blank... I don't mind this at all, because when my agent and me editor look at a first draft like this, they're focussing on the big picture, things like;

Does the story make sense?

Does the story work?

Are the characters consistent?

Is it as tense as it needs to be?

Does it have enough pace?

Is the book any GOOD?

These are all things I don't know, because when your head is down and you're working away, you can't look up and step back far enough to see how everything slots together. I hope they don't have any major issues with it. I hope they like it. I hope they think it's GOOD.

As I explained in a previous post, I scrapped most of what I'd written for this book at the end of December and started again. In the last month, I've had to average about twice my usual daily word amount to reach the deadline. It has been as HELLISH as it has been rewarding. I've barely been able to take any breaks, not even for twitter. The work isn't over, of course it's not, there's still a lot to do — and if my editor or agent find any major flaws in the book, that work will double.

But I managed it. I got the first draft done by writing twice as much per day as usual, and the only way I could do that was by having ridiculous amounts of fun. I wish I could tell you about it — I wish I could tell you the title that spun it off in this brand new direction — but all these things are yet to come.

Right now, though, we are gearing up to release the Armageddon Outta Here paperback in two days. As usual, I found myself in a Catch-22 position. I had a paperback coming out of a book most of you already bought in hardback (or trade paperback — the hardback-sized paperbacks), and I know a lot of you would want every edition available — because you're uber-geeks, just like me. So I wanted to give you an extra story or two (or three, as it turned out) to make it worthwhile. Of course, by including new stories, it kinda also makes people who were NOT intending to buy the paperback want to buy it, cuz they want the new stuff.

I don't like making my readers buy multiple copies of my books. If you want to, hey, go right ahead, I won't stop you, but I've never wanted anyone to feel left out if they don't buy every edition. There are some things, unfortunately, that I can't win no matter what I do. So apologies, for those who feel like they ARE missing out. That was not my intention.

But what ARE these new stories? Well, for those Billy-Ray fans out there, two of these stories are about him. They were sequences that just wouldn't fit in the last few books. Death and Texas throws our favourite hit man deluxe into a Texas Chainsaw Massacre situation, with a notable twist. Eye of the Beholder, meanwhile, explores some of his history — including how and why he lost his eyes.

And then there's Theatre of Shadows. The original version of this was written in an afternoon, behind the scenes at the roleplaying event in Dublin last year. It was at this time that I learned one very important lesson about writing — don't try to write and publish a story in the same day.

The original was flawed. This new version is radically different, and it takes the original's place in canon. So that story that was sent to everyone who took part is now a one-off, never to be reprinted.

There are some other, minor changes to one or two other stories in the collection. For instance, I noticed a mistake too late in Across a Dark Plain, which made a mess of where the story sits in continuity. This mistake is now fixed, as will be a corresponding mistake in one of the books. Remember when the Dead Men were talking about the war, and Shudder's birthday? There was a pretty significant typo that I hadn't spotted, which basically set that story a hundred years after I had meant it to take place. All that is now changed, and once again the stories make sense.

I think.

The paperback is out on Thursday, and right now I'm going to go shopping. The cupboards are bare. I won't be able to poke my head up for too long, though — I got work to do.

Good thing I love it.

(Food.)

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

Bethany: *she hugs her back* Okay...


Liliana: *she kisses her passionately back, wrapping her wings around her waist, pulling her close with them*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Food is good.
*Nods*
Which is why my whole family is worried sick about me. My nana bought me lots of stuff I will actually eat, just so I'm eating something.)

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

*smiles, kissing her neck gently*
*grabs her orange, eating another segment*


Onwa: *grins at the feel of her wings, moving herself against Liliana*

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

(Your nana is wise..)

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

Bethany: *she smiles, taking another bite of her pear*

This is nice..



Onwa: *uses tongue in response, holding Liliana tightly*

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

Bethany: It is...

Claire: Good food, too.


Liliana: Hmm... So is this what you want to do?

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

*smiles*
*closes her eyes, sighing happily*




Onwa: *grins, biting Liliana's lip, tugging it before letting it go*
Yes.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sorry but I'm kind of annoyed at my father emotionally abusing my mother so brb.)

((More than "kind of annoyed," actually.))

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

Bethany: *she kisses Silente gently*


Liliana: *she grins* We can't kiss for so many hours.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(She is, and I love her to bits.
I'm going to be so upset when she dies...
I cried for hours when her mother died. I was very close to her as a child.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Did anyone see the Taiwan plane crash? ...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*huggles Aria*

Bae? I'm really not. Your nana should be your bae. What wouldn't you do for her?)

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

(Okay Kas..

*winces and hugs Gem*
Yeah..family deaths are hard..)

*kisses her gently back, smiling*


Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
Perhaps we can't..
*trails fingers lightly up her side*
Perhaps we can.

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

(Taiwan plane crash?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Kassy... :-/)

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

Bethany: I really do love you, Silente.

Liliana: So perhaps we need something else to... *she whispers in Onwa's ear* pass the time?

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

I really do love you too Beth..


Onwa: *grin*
What would you be insinuating?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I'm incredibly bored currently.)

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

(*pokes Gem* How can I un-bored-ify you?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*pulls Jaimie and Aria into a hug*

:3

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

Claire: Please don't start having another touchy-feely session...


Liliana: *she gently strokes Onwa's cheek* Why ever would you think I was insinuating anything?

Savannah said...

( I would say "Hear hear!" But you got my name wrong... I left Seirsha outside in the miserable cold where she belongs, because I'm not "Seirsha the depressing one" any more, I'm "Iris the fucking Goddess of fucking rainbowz" :P (sorry, am extremely hyper today!)
HI AND HOW IS EVERYONE?!)

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

*laughs slightly*
Grouch.




Onwa: *closes her eyes, relaxing slightly*
Hope?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Hugs Kassy tightly*
I want to RP.)

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

(Hey Iris!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hey Iris!
*hugs tightly* I'm glad you're hyper)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Iris! (And Seirsha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

(Let's rp then, guys!)

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

Claire: I like you two loving each other and all but I'd rather not have to watch it?


Liliana: Hmm... Do you think you've guessed correctly?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*hugs Aria and Jaimie and pulls Iris into the hug* :3)

((Video game logic is so stupid...))

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Throws rainbow sparkles at Iris]

[disappears]

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(See you around, Moss! *hugs gently*)

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

(Of course it is, Tia. There has to be some differentiation between video game and real life.)

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

*rolls eyes*
Okay, I understand.



Onwa: I certainly hoppe so
*grins*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

This is VERY awkward.....

First my former English teacher is covering half of the class, so she does roll call and gets to me: You're blonde!

Now my chorus teacher is covering this half....

I have chorus every day now. Oh god.

-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Call of Duty logic though...

A team of six people have to use bombs to destroy the enemy munitions. The defenders also have six people. Guess what the defenders can do to "win" (I'm not sure winning even equals accomplishing this objective, but whatever.)

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

Bethany: One day, Claire, you'll let us kiss in front of you without you complaining.


Liliana: Hmm... I'm sorry, Onwa. But I didn't actually mean anything by what I said.

Savannah said...

(Hey Jai, Aria and Kas! *hugs*
*dances in rainbow sparklez*
KAS KAS KAS I WANNA RP TOOOOOO!)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Let's rp! Anyone else wanna rp? :3)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Hugs them all*
hi/bye Moss!


So what we RPing?


My great uncle used to call me mossy...I miss him...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hello, Zafira!)

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

*grins*
Mmm..i can't wait for that day.



Onwa: *rolls eyes slightly, holding back a growl*
*presses against her*

Savannah said...

(YESSS LETZ RP!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hey Zaffy)

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

Claire: Hey! That'll probably be when I'm a teenager and all... meh.


Liliana: There shall be no kissing, and we shall not be going to the bedroom for anything other than sleeping.
*she smiles* I wonder how long you will last.

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

*grins*
mmm.. wonder what type of teen you'll be..


Onwa: *looks shocked for a moment before quickly schooling her features into a slight smile*
*raises an eyebrow*
All I'll have to do is outlast you..

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*is still in Trip's bar*

*has yet to take a sip*

Savannah said...

Kayleigh: *sits down next to Tanya (or whoever you are! XD)* *softly* Hey...

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Sighs, laying on her bed*
*Gets up and puts her hair up in a bun*
*Goes through to the bar*
Oh, hey Tanya. I didn't know you were in here, would you like something to drink?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*turns to face Kayleigh*

*smiles* Hey...

(Ah weren't we doing shopping!? Can we do that now or later or plan that heist but Trip probably knows more about breaking and entering into a castle :S)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Kayleigh...hello. Would you like anything to drink?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*smiles*

Hey... *looks at her drink*

*looks back at Aria* No, thanks.

I can get you-

*turns to look at Kay*

-two some drinks or snacks, if you want?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

You know, going into the bar can cause a very angered Trip.

Savannah said...

(I'll do whatever, your choice!)
Kayleigh: *smiles at Tanya* *rests her arms on the counter and puts her chin on top, staring at Aria* "Kayleigh... Hello.?" Don't need to sound so bloody enthusiastic... *smirks*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Smiles*
Ok Tanya.
No don't be silly I work here. It's my job to make sure everyone has a drink in their hand
*Laughs*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Well Loki, I work and live there, so I don't think Aria would get into trouble.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

If you insist, I rather npt deal with him, he simply irritates me.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Uh, sorry Kayleigh. But the last time I saw you, you threw me out of a window, almost killed velvet, blew up a house almost killing them both and hurt Annabelle.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(How so?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*pulls Kayleigh comfortingly close*

She's changed.

Savannah said...

*nods* Yup, I suppose a simple "Sorry" wouldn't stop you from glaring at me?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Kas, Jai, either of you want to come on Skype? I can use a webcam since i'm on my mum's laptop.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

He is very arrogant, I already dealt with Thor's arrogance and stupudity, I needn't deal with a mere mortal's.

Savannah said...

*snuggles into Tanya* I still deserve it...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I would, but I'm in school still....its only 12:45pm here.

-Zaf

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

For throwing me out of the window, yes, a sorry would be expected. I suppose I can forgive you.
*Smiles*
*Sits next to Kay*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I have lunch very soon, when I finish I'll be on, with nobody in my lunch now I'll be on frequently when I finish.

-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Aria my parents refuse to buy a webcam. And I'd feel awkward just watching you without you seeing me. And if I wanted to talk I'd call...

So that's probably a no :/

I'm sorry.

Unless you really want to, in which case yes!!!!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I hope you have a good day at school Zafira.)

Savannah said...

*smiles* Thanks Aria.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

At least its chorus after lunch....

-Zaf

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Ok, see you later, Zaf!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Oh, no it's fine Kassy.
You know I wouldn't want to make you feel awkward.)

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

Claire: I'm sure I won't be so bad...

Bethany: What's so big about being a teenager?

Liliana: Hmm... But will you?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(It just feels creepy watching someone live when they can't see you back.

I'm sure Sophia would agree.)

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

(I do not have experience in it, Tia.)

Savannah said...

(Back so, dinner!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Yeah, Kassy...I know.
*Hugs*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Gah we don't have a rp it was all so easy before :/)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(See you soon, Iris!)

(@Sophia it's like watching from a hidden camera when the person you're watching knows you're there and you're doing that for no purpose.

@Aria I really need a webcam.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*smiles, hugging back*)

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

(If the person knows you are there, you haven't used the 'hidden' camera well enough. I have used surveillance footage in the past, but never when people knew that the camera was there.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Yes, but in this instance they know it's there.

Anyways, want a warm hug?)

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

(Sorry, was eating tea :)

Most teenagers are stropy and hormonal, and lazy.


Onwa: *tilts head*
Hmm..I'm not sure..I've never had to restrain myself before.

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

Bethany: Why?


Liliana: Then I suppose I will just have to restrain you instead. *she grins*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I can't process eating tea, I feel like you're eating the drink.

I think lunch is going to be lonely now.

Every person who annoys me is in this period.

-Zaf

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

(xD No, tea is merely my (our?) word for the evening meal.)

*shrugs*
They go through puberty and grow a lot.

Onwa: *smirks slightly*
Indeed..
*shifts, pressing against her a bit more*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thinking positive...I have chorus every day, no more PE.

Positive Zaffy its only 26 minutes of hell a day...

26....

-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

xD I know we say dinner. I feel like if I go to Ireland as my graduation present I'll insult someone by saying the wrong lingo.

I do need a better umbrella if I go.

-Zaf

Savannah said...

(Back!)

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

(We call 'lunch' dinner..)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

That. Is very odd.

-Zaf

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

(Naaaaaaaaah calling it lunch is odd!)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Tomorrow I'll have to say I am heading to dinner instead xD

Ooh hopefully leaving soon so I can die in chorus.

Nah it's 9/10 so the challenge is to not be pissed at them.

-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*pokes Sil*

Lunch!! LUNCH you crazy Brits!

With the wheelie bins!

-Zaf

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

(It has always been dinner to me. I believe it varies from family to family. Dragona's family call it tea.)

Bethany: Puberty?

Claire: Yeah... Don't talk about that...


Liliana: *her hand glows purple and chains wrap around Onwa's wrists, pulling them behind her back* I was teasing you. Of course we can go to bed.

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

(Dinner was the evening meal, I mean. It seems the conversation has changed. Lunch is the meal in the middle of the day.)

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

(*nods* I call it tea..
*frowns*
*POKES ZAFFY BACK*)

*laughs*
Awkward age.


Onwa: *laughs slightly*
Mmm, am I too irresistible?
*smirks, confident despite the restraint*

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

Bethany: Okay...


Liliana: *she draws her dagger, holding it to Onwa's throat* Or perhaps I simply want to hurt you?

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

*cuddles against Beth*
*smiles*
*frowns a moment, looking around, trying to locate the sun*


Onwa: *smirks more*
Mmm.

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

Bethany: What are you doing? *she cuddles Silente tightly*


Liliana: *she smiles, grasping Onwa's hair, pulling her by it to the bedroom*

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

Looking for the sun
*is panicking slightly*


Onwa: *hisses slightly, following to help lessen the strain on her hair*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Sighs*)

Savannah said...

(What's up? *cuddles Aria*)

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

(*cuddles Gem Gem*)

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

Bethany: Why?


Liliana: *she pulls her inside, shutting the door behind her*
(Time skip, Silente?)

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

*grimaces, eyes showing a flash of pain*
BECAUSE VAMPIRE!
*starts running back home, stumbling slightly*


(Time skip.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(The roof. :3

Nah, I'm just bored guys...I don't have any RPs any more. Jai and I need Chloe for our Annabelle one but it's also going no where.

I liked my RP with Adam

The RP with John was alright...I was looking forward to see where it was going but oh well.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Cuddles Iris and Jai*)

Savannah said...

(I'll rp with you! :D)

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

Bethany: *she grasps Silente's shoulder and they vanish in a flash of gold, reappearing inside their bedroom*

Liliana: Hmm... How interesting. *she grins at Onwa*

Savannah said...

(HELLO... Adam?..)

Savannah said...

(Yay! HELLOOO!)

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

*stumbles, collapsing and groaning, hunched over, fingertips completely white*


Onwa: *smiles back, looking over Liliana, assessing her cuts and bruises*

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

(HEY ADAM!)

Savannah said...

(How are yooooo?!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hello Adam)

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

Bethany: *she reaches into a draw, pulling out a needle* *she jabs it into Silente's arm, injecting her with the liquid*

Liliana: What?


(I will be back soon.)

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

*cries out, shaking, falling against Beth, curling up tighter*


Onwa: *tilts head*
Hmm..I could've done better.

John said...

(*Shoots discrete anti-upbeat waves at Adam*
*Laughs evilly*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Good, Adam.
Hello John.)

John said...

(*Wonders how lead absorbs incorporeal waves of negative energy*
*Shrugs and skirts around back of Adam*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*catches some waves*)

(*beats the bad guys... up!*)

(Hello!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I don't suppose you want to continue the RP tonight Adam?)

Savannah said...

*turns into a pony*

John said...

(@Kas;

*Facepalm*)

Savannah said...

(JUST AS I WAS GETTING BORED! *tackles Kas*)

Garret Falcone said...

(*grabs my break by the throat and drags it to a corner*
*gives it the finger and sets fire to it* )

(No more break for me
I'm too happy to be bored!


So hello my amazingly amazing friends! )



(p.s
New profile pic,
It shows how I feels )

Savannah said...

(And Rhos as well, it's CHRISTMAS!!! And I completely agree with your profile pic! :D)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hello Rhos! *hugs*

Alright Adam.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, everyone!

Sorry, Iris. *hugs her gently* I may poof.)

Garret Falcone said...

(Hi Gem! *hugs!*

(Iris! *hugs!*
How you be?

(Hello Adam and John! *bro hugs you both*
How you be?)


(Kas! *hugs
How you be?)


Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I'm good Rhos. I should probably be studying for Drama though.
*Shrugs*)

Savannah said...

*squeezes Kas* NO POOFING!
*hugs Rhos* I'm great thanks!
AFFIDAVID BARBITUATE! *looks round for Adam*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(affidavid
Or
barbiturate

You back yet, Adam?)

John said...

(*Flops backwards and stares at the sky*

Welp, I'm bored. Hopefully won't have school again tomorrow, it'll be the fourth snow day in the past two weeks.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Smirks and hugs Iris tightly*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Tomorrow is my last day until Wednesday.)

Savannah said...

(Yay Aria, we beat him!)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*High fives her*
Aye, but I don't think we win anything unfortunately.)

Savannah said...

(I'll make him give us cake...)

Garret Falcone said...

*hugs everyone!!* )

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I have days like that sometimes Rhos, although it doesn't happen often. Usually I know why I'm happy :P)

Savannah said...

(ADAM I BEAT YOU GIVE ME CAKE)

John said...

(*Makes a cake appear*
*Stares at Iris and eats the cake*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(It's not cheating at all.
Let me guess, you were held up talking to your parents?
And yes, you owe Iris and I cake.)

Garret Falcone said...

( I feels you Gem

Its fun not knowing though

Because its just fun *smiles* )



(FORKS! )

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

(*lurks, watching, like a ninja*)

John said...

(*Ninja tackles Jai*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(SPOONS!

Adam, you're not meant to give Al and George cake...you'll make them fat >.<)

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

(*dodges to the side, tripping J*)

John said...

(*Ninja rolls and springs at her again*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*coughsJaincoughs*)

Savannah said...

(*starts crying*)

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

(*runs at J then drops, sliding under his spring, rolling to her feet behind him*
*darts back to the shadows*)

(*Takes the cough medicine*
Thanks Adam. I'll take it in a minute. Seems like John's will keep going.)

John said...

(If that were the case there wouldn't be a single solitary problem between us.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Problem? I see no problem.
*Takes the cough medicine*)

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

(*darts out, hitting J and Gem's heads together to stop them arguing*
*darts back to the shadows so all that can be seen are faint;y visible eyes*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Lovely dancing Adam. Shame you can't put It into practise.)

John said...

(Now who's the liar?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(There is no problem between us. Not unless you want there to be, John.)

(Thank you Adam that Cough Medicine seems to have worked.)

(*LAUGHS EVILY AT THE FACT SOPH GOT THE DEDICTAION*)

*shakes, groaning, holding her leg tightly, shaking her head frantically*
Tooo.. *gasp* late!


Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
What?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Yup...)

*Looks up at Malyos*
Well, I've never seen a dragon apart from you...if you gave me the name of a dragon you knew I should be able to transform, into them.

John said...

(You know exactly what I want, and you know that's the problem.)

Savannah said...

(I wanted two cakes! :()

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Thanks, Iris...So I wasn't meant to have one anyway?
*Goes off into the corner and cries*)

Savannah said...

(NOOO, YOU WERE MEANT TO GET TWO ASWELL! *huggles*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*Smiles up at Adam*
I'm not hungry anyway...
Takes one small slice and slides the rest over to Iris*)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Sindragosa...
*looks up at the roof of the cave roof*
I hope there is enough room...
*Transforms into the dragon*

(I don't even know if this is the right picture, I hope it is)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Nah it's fine. Just keep going.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Just ignore the double roof too)

Noelle said...

I regret turning it in already

(I dedicate this page to Jaimie.)

Bethany: What can I do?


Liliana: I shall simply not do it again.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Speaks in her voice*
Are you alright, Malygos?

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

(*stops laughing*
*frowns*)

*shakes head, whimpering*
*cries out as fangs burst her gums and stumbles away from Beth, wide eyed*
CAGE-
*screams, claws splitting through her fingers*
*drops to knees, panting, pupils growing bigger*

Onwa: *frowns*
Hmm..
*shakes head*
I believe we have a feast to prepare?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I saw that coming, Jai
Muhahahahaha!)
