(Hi Viv, Danni.
*sighs*
*leaves*)
Hello Zafira, Danni and Noelle.
What is the point of speaking?
Hello, Danni.
-Zaf
(Ω)
(Adra, what can we do?)
(*do to help)
Noelle? I keep missing your comments. Stay strong...
Hello, Viv.
Hello Kas.
*the confrontation from Les Mis runs through his head*
(I am back.)
Lorelei: Of course not... I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that...
Claire: Please? I mean, I can make myself look older. Or wear my helmet...
Never seen Les Mis.
Okay, bye, Danni!
Noelle?
*hugs her gently and hopes she's staying safe*
(I have never seen any musical other than Frozen, if that counts. I suppose I like that, in a way, but only really for one reason.
Noelle, even if you feel numb, there are other things you can experience than pain. It is not the only option.
It may benefit you to actually leave your comments here rather than immediately deleting them. The more people see it - the more people there are attempting to help you.)
I wish not to speak.
*appears*
*hugs Noelle for a long moment*
*disappears*
I would.
Nothing really.
I don't know why you believe the false words you screen shot on your phone, Noelle. Remember they are false.-Zaf
MAY CONTAIN TDOTL SPOILERS
Darkness. That was all Zafira could see. Was she trapped? She opened her eyes to see the dim light in her room from her phone charger. She shook her head. She always had dreams like this, ever since Loki had used his sceptre on her. Zafira glanced at her clock: 6:30am. She managed more sleep then usual. She always still slept fearful China or someone from Ireland would come for her, and she never even doubted it. At least Darquesse was no longer a problem. Zafira could vividly remember the encounter now, Slulduggery threatening her and then Star and the others going mental. She had sent her reflection down by the Gnarl, but it had been eaten, and she was alive. Better alive then dead. Ravel was who she missed the most. If she didn't have Sorrows to worry about, she would have issues an arrest warrant for Pleasant, he deserved his bones riped apart slowly and then turned into a wall hanging. A wall hanging without a jaw, then he couldn't talk at least. Zafira even had a spot for him, right behind her desk, she was sure the measurements would work. If she did it right.
((Did you really think I'd stay dead for too long? It only took me since Septembercto write that, but hey...Derek underestimated my will to survive....never said it wasn't my reflection. *laughs waving safely from America at Derek* ZAFFY LIVES!!!!-Zaf))
If that was your comment, Noella, it isn't wrong to comment here, you needn't feel compelled to delete comments. I'm listening.

STILL CONTAINS TDOTL SPOILERS
7am. Zafira got up, and began getting ready. Most of the operatives would be around soon enough. If she was fast she could get a coffee and be back. She always loved pumpkin spice, and the fact the coffee place carried it still in nearly March. Zafira walked out of her chambers, nodding to Adrasdos. Zafira liked her, she gave the Irish dirty looks. She almost wished Adrasdos had stabbed Darquesse to death. Almost. Zafira nearly freaked when a voice spoke from behind her.
Alexis: You know, Mother, it was not your fault the skeleton sacrificed him. You were here, doing what you love. Ravel respected that, that's why everyone was happy when you took the position you have now. Stop worrying.
Zafira: Alexis....but you know he isn't even part of the stream! Ever belief I have as a Necromancer doesn't even consul me.
Alexis: Sometimes the best way to seek revenge is to do nothing. News of your survival is spreading, Skulduggery knows you'll be out for his bones. He'll be careful, for a while.
Zafira: He lost Ghastly, I hope he loses Valkyrie too. Bastard deserves it. He had no right to do what he did to Ravel. It was murder it-
Alexis: Murder. If he murdered Ravel, that is punishable.
Zafira: I can't just issue an arrest warrant against one of the Dead Men....
Alexis: If he threatened a Grand Mage, you can arrest a Dead Man.
Zafira: You know way too much for your own good.
Alexis: Being a Sensitive can do that to you. She laughs and walks down the hall, Zafira following.
TDOTL SPOILERS
The god of mischeif looked across the street at the American Sanctuary. They made it look like an abandoned building, but he could easily see the entrance. He is a god, and he can do what he wants. He needed to get inside the American Sanctuary and find the Casket. Zafira had stolen it from Zanida when Zanida was with the Grand Mage. Loki shifted so he appeared to be one of the operatives he had watched enter the Sanctuary at this time. The real man....Loki had disposed of the Midgardian. He used the man's badge and got inside the Sanctuary. The Repository was somewhere near the Hall of Elders he knew. Which meant the Grand Mage's office was around too....
Loki went to the Repository, the two Cleavers on guard made no attempt to stop him. He stepped inside and began walking the aisles, he needed that Casket. Zafira had it in this room, he knew it.
Zafira: What. Do you mean...that I have an escaped crimminal lose in New York City?! Zafira screeched at the detectives. Not one moved, they knew Zafira was touchy. I want you to find them...and lock them in the Arizone prison. If we managed to contain Dreylan Scarab, we can manage these guys. Her detectives nodded and ran off. Zafira went bak to work.
Finally Loki held the Casket's case. He hid it in his coat, before leaving the room. He walks down to the Grand Mage's office. He was going to have a bit of fun. Zafira worked, ignoring her door.
Grand Mage Kerias....Zafira nearly screamed. Shadows lashed at Loki.
Zafira: Get. Away.
Never....
I'm tired. I named the smiley face cut on my hand Gilbert. This is Gilbert >>>> the red is the cut, I did not draw on it.
Hi, Audra.
Too sleepy to write more.
I started freaking.
I woke up with TDOTL in my hands.
-Zaf
Hello Zafira, hello Rose.
Gilbert hurts.. :/
Hey, how are you?
I don't know what that is, but I'll take your word for it.
That's good :)
Oooh, okay.
Assassin's Creed is great...
Hello, Rose.
Hello Blake. Do you like Gilbert? >>
Gilbert is very nice.
*Hugs Rose tightly, burying his face in her shoulder*
*smirks* Someone missed me. *kisses her head*
Thank you. My friend thought he was creepy because his smile is my cut. But I had to make it happy because it hurts whenever I move my hand..
I did miss you as well. I have been busy, though. Zanida and I worked tirelessly this week.
XD Thank you Elleni, you should tell that to my friends. Only one person said it was cute.
You cannot lie to me, therefore I know you love me. *he relaxes at her kiss* Jabari knows a way to help your friend Zafira over the loss of her husband. I wish to know if Zafira's well being means anything to you.
The manner of the death, would make the soul unable to rejoin the stream, but Jabari can simply pull a soul out of the stream at the exact moment her husband's was sacrificed. Therefore he never dies, we need to persuade Zafira to take Jabari and I back to that exact moment though. I need to make Skulduggery believe that he pushed her husband.
((If I do fall asleep, I am running on 5 hours of sleep, my apologizes.))
You can come. Remember, you, myself, Jabari, and Zafira will be the only ones knowing thw future where he dies, her husband must never know. Come, Zafira is in her treehouse.
*laughs, taking her up to the treehouse. Zafira eyes Loki fearfullly*
I come to help, Zafira.
Zafira: H-how..?
Your husband, but I need you to take me back to the moment, Alexis shared her memory, correct?
Zafira: Yes, but how do I trust you?!
((Zafira wants sleep, but she can suffer.))
((I will sleep. I have been threatened with being unable to speak later.))
*Wanders the void*
Onwa: *smiles*
Calm yourself. Do not fear telling us the truth.
No Claire. We abide by the law.
(Hello.)
Lorelei: But it's not the truth...
Claire: You let me drive my motorcycle...
(*hugs*)
Onwa: very well then. That is good to know.
Thats.. cause the motorbike...is..um... cool..?
(*she hugs Jaimie back, tightly*)
Liliana: It is?
Claire: Ha!
Onwa: You would rather be called bad, my Queen?
You aren't driving the car!
Liliana: Hmm... Yes, perhaps. Just because I am a bad person does not mean I am a bad queen.
Claire: Please?
Bethany: Does the law say you have to be a certain age?
Onwa: I suppose so.
You have to be 18 for a car.
Liliana: I am rather unsure, though. You have given me something to think about.
Bethany: But you don't look eighteen, and I don't really like you with the hologram because that isn't you...
Nnotice that if the dress is brighter, it looks more white and gold, and if it's darker, it looks more black and blue . . . we're all looking at it from different sceens with different screen brightnesses.
(Hello, Star. Hello, Elleni.)
(Goodbye, Elleni.)
I know, Elleni, but I'm just ppinting out tgere are other influences at work.
. . .
I don't want to get up, coz ig I get up I have to start doing homework, so I'm just hiding in my duvet like "SAVE ME FROM THE WORK."
*tries to remember what homework I have to do* *remembers* *hides*
Yes.
Hi Jai, Sophia. :)
Onwa: Good.
*smiles*
Oh.. I can make one that looks like me..
*Sortilege appears from behind a rock, taking notes in his ever present notebook*
Orpheus: *watches Sortilege*
*finishes his drawing*
Hello, may I ask you a few questions?
I'm doing biology homework and I keep seeing the words 'asexual reproduction' on the screen and it keeps making me blink. :P
Orpheus: Of course.
(@Star xD)
@Jai: Yeah . . . :P
How long have you had magic?
Orpheus: Hmm. That's a rather difficult question. It's been about ten years perhaps? Maybe eleven. It was, in essence, an accident.
Most magic actually is, can you describe the accident?
Orpheus: I shamed a very powerful mage. He disembodied me and locked me away in the heads of others and as such his magic infected me and I too gained magic. However I was born with the shadow sight.
*scribbles away*
What form does your magic take when you are angry, upset, or unprepared?
Good morning everyone...
(Morning)
(*cuddles gemma*)
Orpheus: I can't say I'd know. I don't often experience those emotions.
Hi, Gemma. :)
*is thinking about how frustrating it is to be frustrated*
*hehe*
I mean, like -
feeling frustrated makes you feel frustrated, right? :P
So your frustration is a source of frustration. :P
Good, so you won't panic when I tell you that you just walked into a soul trap right?
*grins wickedly*
Hey Viv, Star, Jaimie.
*Cuddles them all, if they want it*
:)
*cuddles Gemma back*
How're you?
(How's life Gemma?)
(*cuddles Gemmy back*)
Orpheus: *tilts head*
I can't say I've ever heard of such a thing.
*shrugs*
Figures. I spend half my life developing something huge and no one knows about it.
Oh, storm it . . . I forgot to write my history homework down, and I don't want to email my teacher because I'm scared of people.
. . .
Orpheus: Apologies. Perhaps you could explain it to me?
That would require a half hour explaination of thaums and metajoules and aura translation.
To be simply it takes magic from you and uses it to trap you.
Explanation
Orpheus: How ingenious.
*simple
Ugh...my typing in the morning...
Life is ok... I'm going to get a huge group of people in my school to go up to the head teacher and complain. The school isn't doing enough about bullying.
Massive fights have been happening the last 3 days. 15 police were at the school on Thursday.
And as he said, it all started because of one boy. And that boy was bullying someone else. And then everyone joined in to support their year. Literally, there was like no one in the social area. All years went up to watch too. People were getting checked for knives and stuff...
(@Gem Christ...yeah no the school need to be more serious about bullying..)
Yikes, that doesn't sound good at all!
Hell. O_O
I shall now cease to complain about my outstanding school.
(even though that's shit at dealing with bullying too. But it doesn't turn into FIGHTS.)
Orpheus: And I presume there is no way to escape this trap?
*looks relaxed still*
*his grin falters for a split second* that would be...correct
Orpheus: *nods*
Hmm. A very smart trap then. However you don't know my discipline, and unless I try to use my magic then it shant affect me, yes?
Actually it can affect anyone. Even mortals.
Orpheus: Mortals don't posses magic.
Actually, they do. Thaumus in potentia. They have the possibility to and can experience it so therefore they have a small bit of it.
*adds a loop in his notebook*
Orpheus: Hmm. Interesting. What exactly would the purpose of this trap be? You've trapped the person, what then?
Cut into your essence and change who you are? Always an option...
(Got to go bye! As long as Orpheus believes that the trap is real then he's stuck there. Be true to the character. Bye!)
(Got to go bye! As long as Orpheus believes that the trap is real then he's stuck there. Be true to the character. Bye!)
Orpheus: It seems a rather useless one.
(Viv he NEVER believed the trap existed xD he can sense magic around him, well that's not right he can SEE it more like. He knows Sortilrge is lying. He wanted to humour him and theorize.)
(Why do you think he's so calm xD)
((C_C ()_() 0_0 @_@ D_D O_O Q_Q eyes are fun.))
(The trap isn't made of magic...Sortilege can't use magic)
(Oh. Darn. XD
Still though..the lack of magic would convince Orpheus it didn't exist.
Yes, his theory might be wrong but it produces the same result right? There's no magic. Orpheus doesn't know it wouldn't require magic to do..)
(Wifi died yesterday so I couldn't come on.. :()
(Hi Seir!!!)
(Hi Jai, this dress thing is doing my head in...)
(xD I seem to have avoided all the hype.)
(Cut off the top of the dress, the rest is clearly black and blue, but cut of the bottom, it's gold and white!)
(Huh? It all just seemed blue and black to me..)
Liliana: Have you seen any more of the parasite, Lorelei?
Lorelei: *she shakes her head*
Bethany: Good... Can I see?
Onwa: Good. Perhaps she has left.
If you want?
*makes a hologram of herself only older over her*
*it's taller, reaching about 5"8'*
*the hair is longer, moving to the small of her back, shimmering slightly*
*her features having changed much except to soften a little bit, her cheeks not quite as hollowed*
*she's a little curvier with a larger bust*
*smiles nervously*
It's all white anx gold to me, even if I cover the top/bottom half up . . .
Liliana: Unlikely, but nevertheless.
Bethany: You're still just as beautiful.
Onwa: We can dream.
*blushes slightly*
I.. wish I could've been older..
I deleted a doue comment.
.And I just fell out my hammock . . . ow.
*double
(xD careful silly!!!)
Liliana: Hope.
Lorelei: I hope she doesn't come back... She's scary.
Bethany: Why?
Hello! *pulls everyone into a hug* :3
Onwa: She is also trouble.
Because.. I prefer this version of myself? And I never got to grow up, you know? I'm treated like a kid..
(*hugs kas back, taking Sophs place in the hug*)
*hugs Kas*
Hey! :3
How are you, guys? :)
(Cold.)
(Thank you, Jaimie.
I am currently watching Annabelle.)
Liliana: Indeed she is.
Lorelei: I haven't really stopped having nightmares about her...
Bethany: I love you just the way you are... were... Without the hologram, I mean.
(Sleepy.
*rolls eyes*
Ugh. Annabelle.)
Onwa: *frowns slightly*
Hmm..
*smiles, letting the hologram melt away*
I'd still have been happier if I'd been older..
*hugs Seirsha and Jai warmly* :)
Did the Boiler-man not fix the boiler? :/
(It does not seem so bad. Yes, a man just murdered his partner in the room opposite them and then came into their room and attempted to kill them, but it is not so bad.)
Liliana: What do you think?
Bethany: I'm fine with you just the way you are.
(Mm..)
Onwa: The parasite can invade people's dreams. Perhaps she has not left after all.
*hugs her gently, smiling*
Thank you..
*kisses her passionately despite Claire watching*
:/
Getting ready to go to town :)
Yeah...there was a fight in the school on Thursday too at break, before the 15 police came up.
Everyone stood up on their seats like meerkats and ran to the front of the school, the head teacher pushed past me and ran to stop it.
Going to Keiron's soon, but I'm bringing my laptop. Kas, I'm lvl 10 on AQW.
Yay! *huggles Gemmy but also wonders why the fights are so common then remembers the fights in his school* :/
It's only the last 3 days they've been happening... but it started because someone said something about someone's girlfriend or something...
Silly people can't get along in a school.
I'm lvl 23 in Fairy Tail and I've still no idea what's happening. Some guys with pans attacked me so I set them on fire or something?
We don't really have fights at my school . . . O_O
Questioning why I write.._Zaf
I haven't read TDOTL, so I ignored your writing yesterday . . . sorry.
(Just cause no one comments on it doesn't mean no one read it Zaf.)
Yeah . . . I tend to not comment on the roleplay of Jai, Sophia, Chloe, Kas, Gemma -
hang on, why am I listing names.. . . ? I don't respond to anything. Not unless I have a partucular reason to. :P
Also -
THEY HAVE RUNNING WATER.
STORM CISTERNS.
:)
THEY'RE ACTUALLY RATHER ADVANCED.
Liliana: Perhaps not.
Lorelei: She's still following me?
Bethany: *she hugs her and kisses her passionately back, using her tongue a little*
Onwa: We don't know. Possibly
*uses more tongue*
Whatever. I forget I never could write even when the old gen was here....Wait I actually did write for MC.-Zaf
Lorelei: *she sighs* Please could you help me?
Bethany: *she matches her, blushing a little*
Claire: Ew...
(Zaf, you can write. No one is stopping you.)
Onwa: We are trying to. However it is hardly easy.
*grins, using a lot of tongue, kissing her deeply, pressing against her*
Sometimes the only obstacle is ourself . . .
(Adorable! -->)
:)
*agrees*
Lorelei: Could you stay with me?
Bethany: *she matches her with her tongue, kissing her deeper, holding her close*
Claire: Ew... Ew... Please stop?
I always did prefer cats over any other pet, and kittens are quite adorable.
(I rather agree ...)
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow and looks at Liliana*
*grins, pulling away, licking Beth's lips and smiling happily*
Mm..
(OW ONE BIT MY STOMACH!!!)
(I am not especially fond of any animal.)
Liliana: I suppose we could? At least for a short time.
Bethany: *she shivers a little*
Claire: Okay... That last part really was disturbing.
(xD they're all play fighting..)
Onwa: *nods*
Of course.
*laughs*
*licks Beth's lips again, kissing her gently*
*winks at Claire, smirking and smiling*
Perhaps it mistook you for its mother.
(xD well I am wearing the same colours as its mother.)
Lorelei: Thank you... Thank you... *she goes to hug them, then lowers her arms, stepping back a little* Sorry, my queens.
Bethany: *she shivers again, kissing her back*
Claire: Ew... Ew... Please Toyota now?
Onwa: *tilts head*
*steps forwards, loosely hugging the girl*
*grins*
Mm.. sure.
Lorelei: *she looks shocked, hugging her back* You're... hugging me?
Claire: Yay! Okay, Bethany's buying... But we may need clothes more suitable for y'know, normal walking about? Not dresses or armour. Something like jeans. You know?
Onwa: Queens have to show compassion to their people do they not?
*let's go and steps back, returning to Liliana's side, kissing her passionately*
*smirks*
And to our equals, of course.
Yep.
*unzips the fluffy jacket, rolling her shoulder slightly*
I'm not really fond of animals either . . . but kittens are sweet. :)
Liliana: *she kisses her passionately back* Of course.
Lorelei: I got a hug from a queen...
Bethany: *she takes her coat off, also* So... we are going to go shopping?
Onwa: *slips an arm round Liliana's waist again*
Please do not proceed to make a big deal of it.
Yes. Shopping! And I'm playing.
*looks pointedly at Claire*
Understood?
(**paying)
Lorelei: Yes... Sorry.
Liliana: *she presses against Onwa*
Claire: *she sighs* Fine...
Bethany: I'm the only one without any spendable money here... I've never had any.
Hi everyone, I'm back.
(Hello, Ariadne.)
Hey Sophia.
(Sorry. Family sh*t. Hey Aria.)
Onwa: *kisses her forehead, smiling*
*smiles, kissing Beth gently*
You don't need any..
Liliana: *she starts to kiss her ear passionately*
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Okay...
