As for those who cursed me for drawing it out so long, all I can say is... "heh." It amuses me to torture you, have you not learned this yet?
Over the coming weeks and months you'll be finding out a lot more about Demon Road, but I figured I'd answer a few questions now.
For starters, this is NOT the cover.
This is just a nifty holding image we give out so that people can pre-order if they want to. Hence the following link: http://www.pages01.net/harpercollinspublishersltd/DerekLandy-DemonRoad/
The ACTUAL cover, and the new cover artist, will be revealed in due time.
The release date is, as you can see, the 27th of August. Yesterday we said the 28th, but we figured out a way to get it to you a day earlier, and we took it.
Demon Road is both the name of the first book AND the name of the overall trilogy.
It WILL be a trilogy.
The books will be released 6 months apart. This is the way the publishing industry is going, to be honest — especially for children's books/YA. It's a hectic, bruising schedule, which will mean I'm gonna be overworked for the rest of the year, but hey... I'm quite looking forward to it, actually. I always felt bizarrely guilty for making you wait a year between Skulduggery books, so I'm going to see if this way is better.
Ah yes, and it will be Young Adult as well. There's nothing in it (yet) that is amazingly inappropriate for younger readers — maybe a word or two, slipping into older territory — but it's just the overall feel of the thing.
I'm TRYING to write shorter books. I was aiming for a Dark Days length, roughly 80,000 words. I have to write three of these books this year, and I can't have them spiralling out of control like Skulduggery did. I'm currently at 91,000 words. Hopefully I won't go above 100,000, which is roughly where Mortal Coil was. Hopefully.
Right now, I've only signed a contract with Harper Collins UK, which will publish the books in Ireland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada. Over the next while, I'll be signing with foreign language publishers also — but for most of them, I'll need to show them the finished book. Harper UK trust me enough to sign a contract with what they've already seen of the book as I'm writing it.
There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be published in America as well.
Oh, and yes, I will be touring with Demon Road, but it's far too early to say where.

«Oldest ‹Older 3401 – 3600 of 4785 Newer› Newest». . . I . . . am arguing . . . . . . . . . .
From this point onwards, I'll try to be careful of it, though . . . it's sometimes hard for me to remember to stop and think about how people are feeling when I'm arguing.
Thank you, Rhos. :)
(It isn't ridiculous.. its important to me.. this is something I feel strongly about.. Soph MIGHT have started out as a made up person in dragona's head but she's more than that now. She cries, she hurts, she has panic attacks, she can hide things from draggie.. She IS her own person and therefore she matters just as much as others..
I can understand why you think differently..
I just.. wish people would understand, you know?)
I have to go.
Anyone who wants to continue this, email me, I guess?
No Star, she's not real...Dragona's playing a character...
(Bye Kes *hugs*
Gem..
*sighs*
I.. I really don't want to argue with you sis but.. in this case at least, you're wrong.
..
Yeah..
I'm gonna go..)
She can't hide things from Dragona, Jaimie...he types it.
*hugs Jai*
I'm sorry.
Yeah, Aria . . . a character than can hide things from him.
Um...no they can't...
Okay, I'll take away the last sentence.
*sighs*
I can't really explain why I believe some people when they say things and I don't believe other people. It's like I can't explain how one perosn's characters are more real than another. It's just . . . it's like how when the teacher uses their packing-away-voice, I automatically start packing away without realising what they're saying, because I can read what they're saying from their tone of voice (and if they go 'I didn't tell you to pack away, why are you packing away?' I'm just like "Well how was I meant to know when you were using your packing-away-voice?"). It's just sort of . . . subconcious instinct. My mum says that when she goes into classrooms she can tell if the previous lesson's been bad from the way the atmosphere of the classroom feels.
There's a lot about things that we don't understand. Why should the atmosphere of one classroom feel different to the next? Why should one character be more real than the next? And why should I believe one person without evidence but totally disbelieve another person without evidence?
It's not logical. It's feelings, and they aren't logical.
I trust Sophia, and I trust Dragona, because they're both my friends.
And I don't just believe that Sophia can hide things from Dragona because I trust Sophia and Dragona. I just think that Sophia is so real and that Dragona is her so often that that undoubtably has to have a large physological impact on him, and therefore I wouldn't be surprised if that impact extended to one part of his brain (because Sophia exists in Dragona's brain, as the brain is part of the body and the body is Dragona's) hiding thigns from another part. And I can't explain why I feel Sophia's so real, because I feel that, and I can't explain my feelings. SHe just is.
(I wonder what would actually make my feelings any less important than anyone else's. By logic, it is similar to going, "Your opinions don't matter because you have blue eyes". Or "Your opinions matter more than those because you're above a certain height". Which is hardly fair.
I would also like to point out that if Dragona was actually able to stop me, he would have already done so.)
Bethany: I'm coming... Really, I am...
Claire: And I want to come.
(*hugs Soph meekly*)
No Beth.. and no Claire..
Hi Adam. :)
(Hello, Jaimie. *cuddles her tightly*
Hello, Adam.)
Bethany: I'm not letting you go without me... No matter what.
I can understand that, playing a character for so long gets you into their character, so you start thinking as they would and stuff, but she's still not real...she's just a very realistic idea...
(Hey Adam)
(*nods at Adam*
*leans against Soph*)
Beth..
*sighs, kissing her gently, squeezing her hand before raising their entwined ones, showing Beth her ring*
See this? This is a promise that I'm coming back either way. Just..trust me?
Onwa: what is that?
I think Sophia is a little more than an 'idea.'
I'm doign fine, Adam. :) been doign a lot of procrastinating. :/
Gem, please stop picking on Sophia. Text. *hugs*
(*closes eyes and sighs*)
I'm not picking on her, I am expressing my opinion, as she always says she does.
See what I mean? see how she's hurting people?
I get called up when I do the exact same thing and suddenly I'm the one getting hate.
(... Guys, please don't bring this up again. What's the point? We're not satisfying anything by arguing it indefinitely. Seems it only builds up tension between people, and I don't understand what for?
It seems a lot less troublesome to just accept each other? :/
*hugs*)
(Gemma, I hope that you understand that the only thing you are doing is causing Jaimie to be upset, as well as causing people to argue against you. Whether you believe I am real or not is of no concern to me, as all you are to me is pixels on a screen, also.)
Bethany: I trust you... I just want to be with you...
Claire: They're getting married.
Liliana: ... They are?
(*waves at Taia*)
@Gemma: But surely by copying her actions you're being as bad as her and are, like she does, just causing loads of peopel to be upset when it could have been avoided . . . ?
I know..
*kisses her fingers gently*
But I want you safe..
Onwa: so soon after her last?
*mumbles to herself*
My the harlot works fast.
I heard that.
(Just as I get hate when I speak up, Gemma? There is no difference - I speak up, you speak up, and we both get hate in exactly the same way. Which you should have been expecting, so why are you surprised?)
Did you actually just say that? did you actually?
*Bursts out laughing*
I'm sorry, but that's what I've been saying to you all along. All you were doing was sitting upsetting kas and making people argue against you, and everyone is starting to hate me now? great. That's exactly what Sophia does all the time and people always defend her. Right, I know why, cause you all prefer her. I'm done, I'm so fucking done...
*nods at what Soohia said*
Sophia always gets hate when she speaks up, and some of that immediate hate transfers to longlasting hate (as is evidenced by how quickly people were to jump oin the hating-Sophia bandwageon yesterday).
The only reason Sophia speaks up more than I do is because she doesn't mind being hated and I do, tbh.
Sophia doesn't give hate with no consequences. She gets consequences.
(I am not friends with Tia, therefore I rather do not care. I was simply saying that you are hurting someone who we both care about, and it would be in your own interests, surely, to stop?)
No, not anymore.
She prefers you...you're all she cares about now...
*Leaves*
(Soph.. I replied..)
Peopel always defend here, but it's always me adn Jai v. the world.
I mean, yesterday, me and Jai were defending (or I was; can't remember if Jai was here) and you, John, Zaf and . . . anyone else was against.
That's minority vs. majority, and if more people had been online, Sophia'd've got more haters.
I know that's not true, Gemma. I got an email disconfirmning that only about ten minutes ago.
(Gem!
*curls up, whimpering*
..
I'll.. I'll delete your number for you..
I'm sorry..
I..
I just..
*shakes head and leaves*)
Someone can care about more than one person, you know.
Well, I sure hope they can, otehrwise I sure ain't someone. :P
(Indeed, Star. And I am prepared to accept the consequences.)
Bethany: I can't really die... Irreversibly, I mean. But no matter where I am... I feel safe with you...
Claire: I heard that too. *her eyes glow white, and she starts to build pressure around Onwa* You would not be alive because of her. You owe her your life, you ungrateful little cow. Without her - there would be no you. You used to be joined. Please, don't speak about my mum like that.
(Jaimie, that was definitely not your fault. Anyone can see that you care about her.)
I agree with Sophia; none of the above was Jaimie's fault, and I'm only sorry you're affected in this way . . .
. . .
the second person was to Jaimie. I can't type. :(
(Gemma, consider- For all you know, the person typing Taia's words could also be the person typing Star's, or Fabi's, or Silente's, or Sophia and hence also Dragona.
They could all be characters to one author.
How can you confirm any different?
People have made new characters on the Blog plenty of times in history and their author has not been guessed out, because the personality does not reflect the same thoughts/feelings/tendencies/behaviours.
People have even pretended to BE other Bloglanders, and not aroused suspicion.
A personality is a collection of traits and experiences and behaviours and idiosyncrasies.
If a body can make one independent collection of traits, why not another?
We are empathetic and social and understanding, that's a HUGE principle in human culture. We understand people? We can extend our minds to include other people, and know how they'll react to a particular stimulus. It's incredible.
There's a lot the brain is capable of, and I don't think supporting more than one individual personality is beyond it.
*hugs*
I'm sorry you're hurt.
But this argument is also hurtful, y'know?
I don't think it fixes things. :/)
From his observations, this Sophia gives a great deal of people a great deal of reasons to be "haters"
(...
*hugs Chi*
*and Sil*
:/ )
Thank you, Taia. :)
(Of course I do, Protector. I am surrounded by nice, or at least nicer people than myself.)
(I rather suspect, Taia, that to fix things was not the intention.)
*also rather suspects the same*
. . .
My friends are so cool.
(*sneezes*
GESUNDHEIT!
Ah, das ist die evil Schnupfen!)
My offline ones.
But my online ones can be very cool, too. :)
(*hugs Star*)
(I think it depends where you're looking, Sophia.
I also think that intention and action are influenced heavily by context, and possibly don't hold unparalleled significance.)
*nods at Saoirse*
My mum still says 'gesundheit' occasionally . . .
She stills says a few German/Dutch words . . .
(It's such a good word! XD
Is your mum German/Dutch?)
@Taia: I can agree to that.
I know Sophia does actually try to do good sometimes by upsetting people, but obviously very few people see that because they get focused on the, y'know, upsettingness.
And obviously, that doesn't just apply to Sophia.
Nope, but she lived in the Netherlands for quite a few years and then in Switzerland (the part where they speak Swiss-German) for a couple.
I was born in the Netherlands, so my mum was training herself to speak Dutch around me - so, whenever she would say something in English, say in in Dutch . . . as a way to practise - so now whenever she's around babies she says she automatically starts speaking Dutch . . . :P
(Hahaha, that's so cool!)
Yeah.
It is.
My parents are cool. :P
(Same? :D My parents make me laugh...)
:) That's good.
(Mmm.)
In his experience, helping people and upsetting them have never gone hand in hand. As fate would have it, they actually tend to be polar opposites
:)
*agrees with the Protector*
Lirin thinks that you can't kill to protect . . .
I can see his reasoning.
(I rather agree. But you can upset some and help others. Similarly how you can kill some and save others.)
(I disagree with his reasoning, Star.)
Sacrificing the few for the many is logical, but it should not be the go-to course of action
(That would depend on who you are sacrificing.)
*blinks* Have I explained it to you?
. . .
Well. I don't know about his reasoning. But I know the way I reason it. It took me a while to properly get my head around it.
I'm not 100% sure I always agree, though; idk.
Look, guys, I'm sorry I brought it up, I didn't realize there would be this strong of a reaction, can we just stop?
*hugs Kes*
@Star: *nods*
But also, I mean...
In the 1960s, Milgram manipulated a situation, which resulted in each of 40 ordinary people delivering (as far as they knew) electric shocks to another person, enough to kill him several times over, just because a man in a white coat at Yale University told them to.
In any ordinary situation, they wouldn't have.
But things happening changes things.
People act based on a lot of factors - and neither intentions nor actions are necessarily based on the PERSON doing the thing.
And so just because somebody says/does something Not Good, it doesn't make them a Not Good person.
Y'know?
And so there's the thing you're looking at, like, what the intention was.
But there's also the factors influencing those intentions.
I think it's hard to hold things against people.
^^
On a brighter note, I worked on a writing idea today.
And progressed..!
It was COOL. :P
I'm sorry, Kes. :/
If it helps, it wasn't just you. It's like logland atm is like lava underneath rock, adn just because you drilled a little hole in the rock doesn't mean it's your fault the lava is there.
I think we're talkign about something different atm, though.
@Taia: :) Yup. I have Stormlight Archive quotes to explain the phenonemen you're describing, actually.
. . .
I haev Stormlight Archive quotes for everything. :P
(Quotes just make it so much easier to explain things.)
And, yay! :) :)
@Star on Dutchness: :) :) :)
*hugs Kes*
Sorry. :/
Of course you have SA quotes for everything, they're MASSIVE
@Kes: Ikr.
I realised, whilst roleplaying Kaladin, that I knew how to write his response in most situations because most situations had been /covered/.
One can cover an awful lot with over 2000 pages. :P
Also, I only decided to start my quotationsbank a few months ago so I only really haev Stormlight Archive in it. That limits me a bit. :P
Are some people worth more than others? Is that why some are worth sacrificing when others are not?
@Star: xD
I'm glad you do. :) :)
@Protector: A person's life is priceless. No matter who that person is.
*sighs*
*hugs Jaimie and Gemma*
*hopes they're okay*
@Taia: Thank you. :)
@Kes: Which is another Stormlight reference.
*coughs*
He nods at Kestrel, that was exactly his point.
@Stararar: I know. I can play this game too :P
(I never said that anyone's life was worth more than another's, but some people have to die in order to save others. Priceless as lives may be, it is worth killing one in order to save two. Or even several thousand to save millions. And yes, diplomatic solutions should always be attempted first. But sometimes, they are not possible. Sometimes to save the lives of the many, you have to walk into an area and shoot everyone in sight.)
@Kes: :P
My sister is good at quotesgames. She usually beats me.
But she reads more than me.
Found my quotes. They're not very good ones, considering.
'"An action can be right," Shallan said. "It is simply something done, viewed without considering intent. Killing four men in self-defense is right."
"But not moral?"
"Morality applies to your intent and the greater context of the situation. Seeking out men to kill is an immoral act, Jasnah, regardless of the eventual outcome."'
I like this distinction. It helps me a lot. I tend to split it between the rightness of actions and the rightness of intentions, though. 'Moral' and 'right' as iffy words to use an they both kind of have the same meaning.
*not going to get involved*
*even though this is something I feel very strongly about*
And I also agree with Sophia.
Maybe.
Idk, it's a dilemma for me. I'll talk to myself abotu it in French on Monday.
(Mbd)
^
^
^
Yeah that's one of my favorite bits in the whole series.
(Killing someone, no matter what the context, is not right. It may, however, be necessary.)
@Sophia: Which is also something I've been saying for years.
Sometimes, there is no right answer. Only some answers that are less wrong than others.
@Kes: :) :)
I don't pick favourites in things; it's too hard. :P
"What is necessary is always right."
. . .
I don't believe in that. I prefer my theory. I can see where it's coming from, but nope, beacsue everyone has different opinions on what is necessary. I think that's just a way to avoid guilt.
Tia, I very much disagree with that. I see the logic, but I don't agree.
(Also Stararar I made my friend listen to The Night and 3 today and also some LM stuff(speaking of, the LIVESTREAM) and she really liked them!)
(That, Tia, is something I disagree with. I rather view morality like the points on a compass. There is right and there is wrong on the x axis, and necessary and unnecessary on the y axis. Something that is right, may not be necessary.
Indeed, Star. It is about choosing the lesser evil. Sometimes there are only bad choices, but you still have to choose. Is it not better to put an end to horrors, rather than allowing them to happen?)
MINE
Damn.
(I dedicate this page to Jaimie and Star.
Star - I do it less to avoid guilt, and more to provide reason. The guilt is still there.)
Hear hear!
@Sophia Have you heard anything from Jai since she left the Blog?
@Kes: Yaaaaaaaaaaay! :)
:)
I shall infect everyone with my taste in everything. :) :)
(No, Tia, I have not. However, I have sent her a text message or two.)
(In various forms of media, people say that you forget what you haven't done, rather than what you have. But that is definitely not true. Not for me.)
@Sophia: I was speaking about Kas' thing . . . I think that if I told myelf everyone necessary was right, I would just be trying to make myself feel less guilty. However, I had a think between that comment and this, and I no longer believe it's 'just' a way to avoid guilt, actually.
I've heard from her . . . I think.
Wait. No, I don't think I have.
(I will be back soon.)
(*kind of verbally vanished about half an hour ago, but, eh*
*hugs all*
Have a nice day/evening/future-time-reference, folks. :)
*rolls out* )
:) Fours, Taia. :)
Bye, Taia!
Even if my feelings don't matter, the feelings of those that I care about do.
(Hear hear)
(Of course your feelings matter, Alistair. Just as much as the next person's, and it is discrimination to consider otherwise.)
(Okay I suppose I'll be going now.)
Hello...?
HAPPY PI DAY!!! :D
I'm sorry I did this to you, Alastair.
I love you so much
But I can't fathom how you love me...
I can't fathom how any one does
And
It's just hard fr me
Hard for me to show my limbs to my mother
Hard to hear her gasps
Hard to have her rub oils over them...
It's difficult. And I'm sorry you have been caught in it.
I didn't mean for you to.
...
I'm sorry.
Goodbye
*hugs Noelle tightly*
I'm so sorry.
I know you can't see it, but I think you're amazing. You're beautiful, inside and out. You have such a wonderful personality
You're one of the best people I know.
No, please don't be sorry, Noelle. The only things you did were to love me, make me happier, and teach me to appreciate kindness. I am grateful for that.
I am grateful, too, that I have the opportunity to be so close to you while things are this hard for you, especially. Not because I am glad you're struggling- on the contrary, I would do anything to help you feel better- but because I wouldn't want you to be alone. I'm glad that I'm here to try to support you, even if I'm hardly good at it.
I love you, and you have nothing to apologize for.
Noelle:
I wish I could say something but I can't find the words.
But please know that you don't have to apologize for anything. You're an amazing human being, and one of the most loving and caring people I've seen in a while.
Please don't feel sorry. *offers a hug should you want it*
*blinks sleepily* I'm a bit late to the party here, and most things have already been said . . . so I suppose I can only say that I'm very grateful to have knoen you, Noelle . . . every friendship or aquaintance or anything is a mix of advantanges and disadvantages, and insome the disdvantages are so strong you hardly see the aevantages . . . but with you, the advantages are so strong I hardly see the disadvantages.
I'm sorry things are so hard for you, and I'm sorry I never know how to help . . .
(Hello.)
(*cuddles Jaimie tightly* It is alright. *she kisses her forehead gently* I am sure that Gemma still likes you, she was just upset. She seems unable to understand that you care about her, despite the many times you have told her that you love her as a sister. It is her fault, not yours. It is clear that you care about her.)
(It is fine. I would just rather you be with me than apart - for your sake as well as mine. If you feel up to it, could you email me?)
(Thank you. *holds her close* I will be back in a second.)
(Oh.. okay..
*curls up quietly*)
(I am back. *she curls around her*)
(*rests head on her armoured shoulder*)
Beth.. I don't want you dying for me again..
Onwa: *frowns, watching Claire*
Neat trick. Don't try lecture me, child.
(*she removes her armour, hugging her tight* Only roleplay if you feel up to it, yes?)
Bethany: I'm coming. No matter what.
Claire: You might be older than me, but you're a lot more stupid, moron. We are supposed to be working together, so back the hell off.
(*nods, hugging her tightly back*)
Beth..
*kisses her forehead*
Stay..
Onwa: *glares at her*
When this is through, watch your back.
Jaimie? Hello? *hugs her*
Jai...
(Hi..)
Hey.
(*she kisses her forehead again*)
Bethany: ... No, I go wherever you go... In sickness and in health.
Claire: *she folds her arms* You're going to kill a child? Is that what type of person you are? You act like I don't know you killed those women - so when this is over, you should watch yours, too.
(How are you..?
*snuggles against her more*)
*smiles*
We aren't married just yet silly.
*kisses her gently*
Onwa: *smirks*
Touché.
(You are an amazing sister, Jaimie.)
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Still, I'm coming.
Claire: You could do so much better, Liliana.
Liliana: I disagree. She is the one for me.
Claire: Oh, by the way, I'm coming as well. I don't trust Onwa.
Ember: *she appears in a flash of fire*
(*shakes head*)
*sighs*
Beth, Claire, you're staying. Someone has to. I want you two safe..
Onwa: And I'm not going to do anything.
*glances at Ember, ignoring the spark of jealously that pipes up in her mind from when she and Liliana decided to play tricks*
Ember.
(You are, Jaimie. I promise.)
Bethany: I am not staying... I'm sorry, but I'm not... Even if you cancel the wedding... I have to make sure you're alright.
Claire: And I'm coming because I want to laugh at the rabbit and keep an eye on Onwa. No arguments.
Ember: Onwa.
I know what has been happening.
(*shakes head*)
*sighs*
I love you both very much,
But now isn't the time for being stubborn.
Claire, I'll take a picture of the bunny for you.
Beth, I'll be fine. Ember and Liliana will look out for me and Onwa knows better than to start a fight with me.
Onwa: I do?
*glares at her*
Onwa: *smirks*
(Jaimie, you are. You have helped me a great deal, and I love you as a sister.)
Bethany: ... I'm coming. I'm not going to give in... Not this time...
Claire: And I agree with Bethany.
Ember: We need as many people as we can find, I am afraid.
(*nods at Soph* I love you too... but I'm not a good sister..)
*sighs in exasperation*
And if we all end up trapped in archeos's realm?
Onwa: Me and Liliana can simply die, and then we'll be safe at home. Of course that's hardly ideal.
(You are, Jaimie. I cannot imagine a better sister.)
Bethany: Then at least we'll be together... Rather than alone.
(I can..)
*sighs*
Fine.. Fine. Do we have a plan..?
(I cannot, because there is no one better.)
Ember: Kill some of his soldiers and steal their armour, and go looking.
(There is. You just don't really look around much)
Okay..
(I am twenty seven years old. I have had a long time to look around.)
Bethany: Thank you for letting me come...
(Doesn't mean you have done though.)
*sighs*
You're welcome..
But don't go jumping in front of me again.
*kisses her gently*
Watching you die once was bad enough..
(You are the most amazing person I have ever met. And I have met a lot of people.)
Bethany: *she kisses her back*
Ember: So are we leaving?
(I love shopping!)
(Mm.. but how many have you allowed to get close?)
*nods*
Okay..
*takes Beth's hand*
Onwa: *takes Liliana's hand*
(Hi Saoirse!)
(Hi Jai! )
(How are you?)
(I have a cold but other wise I'm great! How about you?)
(Meh. Bit upset still but.. Meh.)

Liliana: I am being serious. *they vanish in a flash of black, reappearing beside Ember*
(So is everyone..)
Not in an offense way. It just kinda makes sense why your fire is so strong now..
Onwa: *looks around*
Hmm.
(Not to me. But you are definitely important to me.)
Ember: Right. This way. *she starts to walk forwards, clearing the fire in her path*
Liliana: Hm?
Bethany: It's hot in here...
*walks after her, watching the fire cautiously*
Onwa: indeed.
*follows*
(guess i'm in with the don't translate either?)
(*Is confused with the no translate thing*)
Bethany: *she takes Silente's and Claire's hands, walking with them*
Claire: *she draws her short sword with her free hand*
Liliana: Are you alright, Onwa? *she walks with her*
Ember: Shh... Quiet.

(It may help if people would not start arguments for the sake of proving a point. Sometimes arguing is necessary, mostly it is not.)
Ember: *she carefully looks around the corner* Stop.
(I would also like to point out that this is incredibly unfair on people who do not know morse code, therefore I will ask you to stop.
I will be back soon.)
(I don't know it, I just use a translator online)
(*blinks at all the Morse code* ...)
*stops*
*whispers*
What is it?
Onwa: *also stops. sighing slightly*

@Sophia argument? What argument?
(*looks at Kas* Are you sure?)
I better get back to vacuuming the house. Bye.
@Seirsha Maybe. I don't know. *sighs*
(How did you get it?
Bye... :(
...
You guys didn't have to do all that... I just asked if my code not be translated...
Too late, I guess...
*sighs*
*fades away again*
I can read it thou? I mostly use the online thing for fastness.
aka when typing
...
It's fine for those that can, or look up the translator, because I can't stop them from trying.
Just...

Bye guys.
(I am back, somewhat. I will be distant.
Lavender, I have no problem with just you doing it. It is when people start having entire conversations when I think it gets out of hand.)
Ember: Guard patrol.
I can't be bothered to translate anything, so I'm just ignoring the morse code.
(Hello, Star.)
I don't even know what a spring fling IS. :P
Hi Sophia, Adam. :)
