But now the moment you've been waiting for, with thanks, as ever, to Mr Tom Percival, artist extraordinaire...

How old are you?
(Is that ok to ask?)
*facepalm*
Oooh, sorry Kas!
Protector the character has been active for approximately five years.
His author is eighteen years old.
I'm coughing and I have a sore throat and a headache and my head is spinning slightly.
I am just /very glad/ I decided to be ill on a holiday instead of on a school day. Well done me!
(That wasn't sarcasm. I /hate/ missing school. I hate having to catch up and I'm a little OCD about my attendence. :P It started when I went to a denist's appointment in year nine and my attendence went down to 99%. I was SO ANNOYED. So in year ten I basically went all out trying to get 100% attendence, and I did a PE thing one day because the school said I had to and so my attendence went down beacuse fo it and as soon as I found my attendence had gone down (well, the next break but y'know) I marched to the head-of-year's office and informed her of this error in their computer's calculations and ask if they could please recheck their records. :P Which was so bold considering I'm normally a little scared of teachers.
This year I had a denist's appointment as well, but it was at the end of fifth period so I'll still be marked on the register . . . I really hope my missing half the lesson doesn't count!! (I can't tell because we don't do our attendence in form anymore). I did complain to my mum about how annoyed I was that I had it during school, but we'd already missed out appointment about five times so we kind of had to go anyway.
Claire: Yep, I'm fine.
Liliana: I am... I'm sorry. I... have everything I've ever wanted... I don't see the point in being violent anymore...
(*hugs star*)
He looks at Silente, asking the question without saying anything.
(I hope you get better soon Star!)
(Cluck cluck.
And dare please.)
Good.
*turns the corner a few times*
Onwa: Liliana.. I don't CARE if you're violent..
Aw, I'm sorry your sick Star!!
I rather wonder what the head-of-year thought of me, some girl who she nevers speaks to coz I'm never in trouble marching in her office and informing her that my attendence had gone down to /ninety-nine percent/ when I hadn't been off (shock horror!).
. . .
Oh my gosh.
SHe must have thoguht I was sucha nerd.
XD
Oh dear. XD
You know, I never really believed B when she called me a nerd but OH MY GOSH I'M A NERD.
(That was weird. I automatically thought "OH MY GOD" and my fingers automatically typed "OH MY GOSH." And then I heard my head say "OH MY GOD" and I looked up to correct it beacuse I normally say "OH MY GOSH" and then I saw it DID say "OH MY GOSH" and I was like 'huh' and then I almost corrected it because I wanted it to correctly portray my head-voice but then I remembered that I normally typed "OH MY GOSH" anyway so I left it . . .)
. . .
I'm rambling.
You know how I ramble when I'm tired?
Well, I suppose I can subsitute 'tired' for 'slightly mentally impaired' because apparently I ramble when I'm ill too. :O
But I AM tired.
But I think my fwiends wanted to Whatsapp me.
sjdoimaidmasi
Hmmmmmmm decisions.
He dares Silente to call someone she has not seen in a fair amount of time and ask how they have been.
*hugs Star*
I hope you feel better soon.
Hmm. It's all phone related dares.
(...
Can I text them instead protector? I.. I'm kinda irrationally scared of phone calls..)
(I had no idea what I could do with characters Aria!)
I'm sorry you're ill, Star, holiday or otherwise. :-(
(Okay.
Gemma, truth or dare?)
Me on Whatsapp: I feel kind of ill so I need to go to sleep early tonight.
B: Oh ok.
(few minutes later, during the time I've been ranting here)
B: Jesus Christ guys y do u keep going
Me: I'M SORRY I'M ILL AND TIRED.
B: Ok
Me on Blogland: I'm ill (or words to that effect).
You guys:
Jai: (*hugs Star*)
Pearl: (I hope you get better soon Star!)
Dugglyn: Aw, I'm sorry your sick Star!!
. . .
You guys are so nice and concerned.
It's lovely. :)
*hugs Pearl, Star and Dugglyn, and anyone else who commented in the time I was typing and so I missed them*
(Sorry, who's Gemma?)
Can I play too?
(Gemma is ariande)
Yup.
Kas: *hugs Star*
I hope you feel better soon.
Fabi: I'm sorry you're ill, Star, holiday or otherwise. :-(
OH MY GOSH YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL SO LOVELY
*hugs Lantern and Kas too :)*
AH
SEE
THESE ARE THE POSITIVES OF HANGING OUT WITH NON-MEAN PEOPLE
IN CASE I EVER NEEDED REMINDING.
I'M SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON. :(
(*hugs Star back* - Am I correct in thinking that's how you express actions?)
XD
*hugs Star back*
Dare, Jaimie.
:) Yes, Pearl. :)
*hugs Pearl and Dugglyn back*
(AHHH I JUST REALIZED I HAVEN'T GREETED PEARL HOW DID I FORGET THIS?!?!)
(Ariadne as in Aria?
Then Lantern? Fabi?
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!
Sorry, I know nothing...)
Star, you're not mean.
I'm not playing; I need to go to sleep soon.
(Jamie is Jai? As in Silente?
Don't worry Silente, it's fine!)
Yep, that's correct Pearl! It's okay, you're new.Also Sil is Jai.
(Cluck cluck.
*glares*
Hmm. Okay..
I dare you to chose a number on your phone and change the last digit of it then text them;
Bombs are in place Sir. Ready to detonate on your command.)
(@Jai Can you save the greeting for later? Like, after the truth or dare?)
I am Lantern and Fabi. Also Moss.
Only Star calls me Lantern.
Most people call me Fabi, which is my code name.
Some people call me Moss, which is my taken name.
(Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck)
(So I'm supposed to call Sil Jai? And then who's Fabi and Lantern?)
He feels as though Blake would be disappointed in Silente for not greeting a newcomer.
(Oh, okay, thanks Fabi!)
Sil Jai Silente Sil Jai!
(Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
*grunts*
If Blake is so disappointed he can drag his ar*e on and do it himself now can't he.)
(Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck
Cluck cluck)
@Pearl: Sorry - I randmomly nicknamed Fabi . . . and Gemma has a few names. :/
(Fabi does, too, to be fair).
I am mean, Kas. Don't worry - I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing, just as I don't necessarily see being nice as a good thing.
(although when I was calling you guys nice earlier I DID mean it as a compliment).
(*giggles* (- Getting the hang of it!) Okay Dugglyn!
Does anyone else have any preferred names?)
@Pearl Kas is okay.
(My friend replied to earlier's text saying "Wtf omg lmao!!!! What did that mean and who was it for? Xx" Should I say it was a dare?)
(My friend replied to earlier's text saying "Wtf omg lmao!!!! What did that mean and who was it for? Xx" Should I say it was a dare?)
And I could drag your ar*e to a hospital while I'm at it.
(Two comments again?)
(Don't say it was a dare!!!
Hello Blake.)
Hello, Blake.
(What do I say then?!)
(@Pearl ummm.. Say it was an American penpal?)
Hey Blake
(Or an employer)
Gtg, bye.
Claire: Are we nearly there?
Liliana: You wanted me to be.
He waves to Blake.
Bye Kas!
(Bye Kas! It was lovely to meet you!)
Yep.
*slowly breaks the car*
Onwa: *shakes head*
Evade the question. It's always fun to evade questions.
(Okay, thanks Jai and Fabi!)
(Cluck cluck)
(..has gemma poofed?)
(Does Gemma prefer Gemma or Aria?)
(I'm not entirely sure? I call her Gemma. Or Gem. Or Gemmy.)
I don't mind, Pearl.
Hello Blake.
(I do not feel as if asking someone to text about bombs is a good dare. It is a good way to get someone arrested, really.)
Claire: I can't wait.
Liliana: You preferred it...
I texted a random person what you wanted me to, Jai.
Um. Who next...
(Okay Gemma!)
Me: I know it's early, but I feel really ill so I'm going to go to sleep now.
B: Ok I hope you feel better soon x
. . .
Okay.
I take the above back.
And, on that note, I'm goimg to sleep. Night. :)
(Oh. She hasn't. *waves at gem*)
*smiles*
Here we are.
*they're at a log cabin, quite big all things considered*
*the landscape stretches for miles, forest to the back of the cabin and a lake with a waterfall at the front, only a small one*
Onwa: *shakes head*
(Goodnight, Star.)
(Night Star, I hope you feel better tomorrow!)
(Night star!
Cluck cluck.)
Bethany: This is beautiful...
Liliana: You told the truth and you said so...
Sleep well, Star.
(Question; this storyline thing going on with Bethany and Onwa and stuff is what exactly?)
Can I go? Haven't been truth or dared yet!
*smiles*
Thanks.
Onwa: Liliana I couldn't give a damn about that. Yes, I preferred you violent but I prefer you happy and unharmed..
Night Star! Sheep well!
(It's Jai and Sophia's ongoing roleplay, Pearl. There used to be a lot more roleplay, but now there isn't as much. At least, there hasn't been as much while I've been ghosting.))
(Pearl - Bethany is an angel, who is in a relationship with Silente, who is a vampire. Claire is their adopted daughter, who is ten years old - and a vigilante.
Onwa is... I believe, Silente's true name, who was separated into a different form. She is in a relationship with Liliana, Bethany's sister. Liliana is the daughter of the goddess of death, as is Bethany - but Bethany was adopted by the goddess of light, hence why she is an angel.
Currently Silente, Bethany and Claire are on holiday in Iceland.)
(Cluck cluck)
(Role play. So that's like a story with your own characters but there's no plot, the story kind of moves along however?)
(How exciting! Thanks Sophia!)
Dugglyn, truth or dare?
(There is no definite plot - It is made up as it goes along. There are always things happening, however. Whether it be politics between the gods and goddesses, or more domestic matters.)
Claire: It does look pretty good.
Liliana: Sorry.
(hilow to all *wonders if he can join in on the fun* - hello Pearl I'm skully :P or "the boy" or keiron whichever )
*nods and smiles proudly*
Right. Everyone outta the car!
Onwa: don't be.
*holds her close*
(hello 'the boy')
(I wouldn't say there's no plot at all, in fact, I usually use the word "plot" to distinguish between multiple storylines of roleplay. However, it's true that it isn't generally planned out in advance, at least not to any detail.)
Hmm... truth?
(i was the one whos pet was stolen btw from gemmy)
Uck.
How long was your longest relationship. If you've had one?
His dog Lucy :3 I said I stole her. Although I have told him I want to take her home with me.
Sorry, never had a relationship or a crush XD
You can do dare if you want
(*giggles* Sorry Keiron!
Thanks Fabi! Role play sounds fun!)
You shouldn't be sorry, Dugglyn. It's a good thing, Honestly.
Nah, it's fine.
You ask now. *coughaskKeironcough*
Stick with "just a crush" Dug, a relationship isn't worth it.
(Blake, so negative. If everyone stayed with 'big crush' the human race would end.)
Bethany: *she carefully opens the door, stepping out* It smells different... Fresh... Nice...
Liliana: *she kisses her cheek*
(*giggles* Well done!)
@Blake Well I haven't had a crush either so... :P
Okay Keiron, truth or dare?
I'll stay safe for now and go for truth
*smiles*
I like Iceland. Its a good place.
Onwa: Your mother attacked me. I presume she aimed to kill me and drag me to her realm. How amusing that would have been.
I'M BAAACK
@Storm: 1. Would you prefer I called you Jai? and 2. Would you like to continue Kes's mental breakdown?
What are 5 things you love about yourself? (Like, honestly)
But nobody would get hurt.
(Cluck cluck.
@Kes Noooo! I like storm! :D
@Kesalso sure!!! You start?)
And Dug, that's even better.
1: My eyes (i guess)
2: My personality
3: My hair (coz it's awesome)
4: My honesty
5: My humour (which is terrible but hey i'm a youtuber i gotta like it)
[Sighs]
I should go.
It was nice seeing people actually be happy here instead of bitter or hateful.
((@Storm Oh okay cool :)))
((And idrk where we are, so I'm gonna have Kes apologize to your guy and then go from there))
*Kestrel, now leaning on Delila, extends her hand warily*
...I'm sorry for being brusque. Thank you for...helping me.
Okay, bye Fabigail!!
Claire: *she steps out of the car, carrying her suitcase*
Liliana: ... Amusing?
((Bye Fabi, love you!))
(Bye Fabi, you never know, it may be a fresh start!)
Okay, Kerry, your turn!
(So Kestrel and Delia is another role play thing?)
*reaches in, picking up hers/beths suitcase*
*walks to the door, resting her palm flat against it.
Onwa: I'd have just come straight here.
()
Manuel: *hesitantly takes her hand, bowing over it and kissing it lightly*
No need to apologize..
alright Sil(ly) -likes to add y's to peoples names (has only just figured this out) truth or dare?
Yep! Most people have characters, some more than one!
((@Pearl: Kestrel is my main character, who is dating my other character, Delila. They're both in an RP with Silente that we started ages ago and never finished because I tend not to be on for long periods of time :)))
(Cluck cluck.
Dare!)
*Kestrel pulls her hand back quickly*
*she doesn't like touching people more than absolutely necessary*
*and the feeling of a man's lips on her skin is one she can do without*
*her voice is cold again*
Did I say anything while I was...indisposed?
(Okay Dugglyn and Kestrel, should I make characters?)
I dare you to send the 15th photo on a device of your choosing to someone you don't talk to much and give them no context whatso ever
((Armpit! Nostril!))
He sits quietly, paying close attention in case he is called on again.
()
Manuel: Not that I know of ma'am.
Sil: something about save?
*studies her arm, still bandaged up from Kes's dagger swipe*
((Knee!
@Pearl: You can if you want :) Most of our characters, excepting Sophia's, fit into the SP universe, so go for it :)))
Btw Keiron, I'm calling you Kerry from now on (unless you don't like it! Let me know!)
Oh and Pearl, there are some different abbreviations here.
Wbd: will be distant
Mbd: May be distant
Msd: May suddenly disappear
OMLI: oh my llama intestines
LAETNPO: let's all eat the next person on
(15th photo? Hmm..)
This is actuqlly really interesting. My thoughts are much less . . . well, it's like I'm half-asleep, my thoughts kind of merging urrationally into black, eccept I'm conscious while this is happening qnd can anqlyse it and remember it.
I love being ill. It's so fascinating. Iwouldn't wqnt to be ill often, though.
Anyway, I was remembering this song we used to sing at my old Sunday school where I lived before I moved eight years ago, and I've heard the official version of this somg but it never sounds right to me because I leqrnt it by other people singing it, and I thought "hmm, how does it sound in my head?" and I realised it was sung in a child's voice and thqt this voice might sound slightly posher than the voices I'm used to now, and I'm just like "MY MEMORY MQYBE PRESERVED THE ACCENT??? THAT'S SO COOL!!"
Also, I realised, in these momemt of mergy thought, how nice it was to be nice, and how horrivle I was, and I want to try and be nicer. C's said this to us multiple times over the past few years, and she never doew become nicer, so I might fqil to, but I will try. Because being nice is /nice/.
(Okay, I just want to feel like a good person again and that I'm worthy of being liked. More evidence for my hypothesis that all humans are inherently selfish).
Anyway, in that light . . . you're all beautiful humans, and thank you for exiwting. <3 I'm not saying that to appear nice. When I say I wqnt to be nice, I mean internally. I think, "I should probably say something nice," and then I think of all the nice things I could sqy that would apply, and then I feel the emotions those sentences envoke, and so I say them. It's not making something up. It's looking for buried emotions that are already there.
(For the record, I don't regret my decision I made a while back to be more honest, and I still don't think I should be dishonestly nice. I'm just going to try to be honest /and/ nice. And when I say I like arguing, half of what I love about ot is trying to bwlance precariously on yoyr position and find the best possible words for the situation. Of course, I fail utterly. But the blancing game? It's FUN. So hopefully I'll regard being nice and honest as a challemge, and thus try hard and succeed. Hopefully).
Sorry. I really do ramble when I'm ill. Please tell me if you mind - I was under the impression that people here liked me talking, and so I'm not deleting the comment.
For the record, Lavender, I do like reading what you have to say and you don't bother me at all. I'm not saying you thought you did - I just, I remember when I thought nobody wanted to listen to me, qnd it turns out they did and they just weren't saying. So I'm saying, just in case.
That goes for everyone else. I usuqlly ghosr as opposed to post when I'm here - if you weren't worth my time, I wouldn't spend so much of my time reading commemts.
((@Dugglyn: oh my god I forgot about LAETNPO))
Delila: And the name Taylor.
Kestrel: *she takes a sharp breath, before noticing what Sil is doing*
What happened to your arm?
(my aunties partner is called kerry so not 100% on it :P won't stop you thou)
And Zaf's characters. So ya know, if you want it siren my have to be Skulduggery Pleasant related
Bethany: *she smiles, waiting*
Liliana: Indeed. Why did Minerve not kill you?
Oh yeah, okay not Kerry.
(Sent.
Okay.. um.. Sleepy.. Dug. Truth or dare? Then after this I'm dropping out..)
()
Sil: *thinks better of telling the truth*
I tripped and fell.
GTG, PIE!!
*fires a pulse of energy into the door and twists the handle, pushing it open, the lightly all coming on one by one*
Onwa: Berengaria.
Soy Sil!
(Okay Kesteral and Dugglyn (I love the last two!)! How would one go about introducing a new character?)
(S'okay. Pearl, truth or dare?
Cluck cluck)
((Toe! Finger!
Hey Star! To be honest, I think you ARE a good person, and I don't think niceness is directly related to that.))
Kes: *blinks slowly* Some vampire you are.
Delila: Kes! She just saved your life!
Kes: Oh, yeah. Sorry. Manuel, how's you get here?
(Bye Dugglyn! It was great to meet you!)
(Kestrel, not even I fit into the Skulduggery Pleasant universe. *she shrugs* Despite the fact I do find it hard to roleplay as myself, I did used to roleplay with those who do come from the Skulduggery Pleasant universe.)
(I'll go for a truth this time!)
(-you can start by strolling through, or dramatic entrance, tight into the action, running from something needs help etc.-)
(@Pearl that's usually where my greeting comes in.)
()
Sil: *glares, tempted to just tell her the truth*
Manuel: Silente called me ma'am. She provided a portal through which I could access this point.
((Esophagus! Intestine!
@Pearl: If you like, you can start writing a solo RP, or you can bring them into mine and Silente's :)))
OH MY GOSH KES ME NEITHER THANK YOU!!!!!!
(dorry, it's just, I've been saying nice isn't necessarily good and mean isn't necessarily bad for YEARS and it's so nice to see someone agree).
I'm not a good person inside, and won't become one by being nice. But causing good is always good, and I'm not doing a lot of that by not being nice.
(remembers his greeting as "the boy" when he was but a vampire and a dragon thought fire would kill him)
(Okay. Truth. Hmm..
Out of everyone you've met so far here, who would you not want to meet in a shady alley late at night?)
((Bye Dugglyn!
Forearm!))
Kes: She provided a portal? Since when cans he do that?
*turns to look at Silente*
Would you mind sending me somewhere?
Bethany: *she walks inside* This is pretty nice...
Liliana: I should send her the resources...
(Okay... Let's give this a try...)
Pearl: *is lost and running through a woods*
((I'm so done with this dare, it's distracting me so much.
@Star: I think a big part of the reason I believe that is because of your rants :P))
Thanks.
*smiles*
Onwa: *nods*
Yes, we should.
()
Sil: where?
((@Pearl: Oool that's where we all are :) Also, what gender are you/what pronouns do you use?))
(I think solo's fine thanks!
Okay Jai! Ummm... Probably... Me! Because as far as I'm aware, I'm the only me and meeting another in an alleyway would just be creepy!)
(@Pearl hmm. I approve.)
Kes: *blinks*
To find a certain someone and give them hell.
They're usually in a warehouse in the outer edges of Blogland.
Delila: Don't you dare.
Kestrel: *looks sideways at her* You can't stop me.
(well i may be in my bently in the woods :P not much has happened so yeh :P)
(I'm a girl. :))
:) Thank you, Kes. :) :) Nice to know I'm influential. :)
((@Pearl: A'ight, cool.
Also, Storm, for reference when Taylor shows up, they use they/them pronouns.))
()
Sil: *looks between Kes and Del*
I.. sorry kes, I can't let you do whatever it is you plan to do. And no, you aren't allowed to hold a grudge about that, not with what you did to me.
Claire: *she walks inside, also, pulling her suitcase behind her*
Liliana: *her hands glow black for a moment* Done...
(*laughs* Good!
What do I do now...?!)
(*laughs* Good!
What do I do now...?!)
*smiles, locking the car and closes the house door*
Onwa: *nods* good.
(Why is this happening to me?!)
(could bump into someone -not sure, we don't really know you're running in the woods yet. make yourself known shout etc?)
Sil2: *follows pearl, grinning*
Fresh blood..
*jumps out in front of her, twelve year olds features pulled into an innocent smile*
Boo!
(Okay, thanks!)
Pearl: *trips and begins to fall into a conveniently placed hole* *screams*
Kes: What the hell did I do to you?
And I'll just goddamn walk, then. I'll just...*she takes a breath*
This person kidnapped me from the streets and tortured me for years. They turned me into a vampire just to prove that they could, and then they wiped my goddamn memory. I'm going to [redacted] kill them if it's the last thing I do, and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me.
Delila: *puts her hands on Kestrel's shoulders, and turns her so that they are looking at each other*
Please, Kes, don't do this. You're going to get yourself killed.
*Kestrel shrugs Delila off, turning away*
Pearl: *spins and looks up at Sil from the bottom of the hole* *sighs releived* Thank god! Hi! Do you mind helping me?
()
Sil: *zips in front of kes, smashing her against a tree, snarling in her face*
Sil2: *smiles sweetly down at pearl*
Are you okay miss?
*jumps up at the sound of the scream* Finally something to do around here. *jumps out the Bentley heading towards the scream*
(I think I'm still in the clearing with protector.)
*Looks over at him sitting there in silence and lays back in the grass humming softly to 'Mr Brightside'*
Pearl: Ummm... Apart from being lost and stuck in a hole... Yes, I'm okay thanks...
Bethany: *she sits down on a chair, smiling* So this is what a holiday is like...
Liliana: I love you... With all my heart, I love you.
(Where did truth or dare go?)
(Um, it was pearl's turn to ask I think.)
(No idea Sophia!)
(@Storm, is it nighttime in Blogland, or should Kes stay human))
*Delila steps back, startled, but gathers her senses quickly*
*screams for help*
*Kestrel smiles, the tips of fangs showing over bloody lips* Really? You really want to do this?
Sil2: *keeps smiling sweetly*
You look tasty.
*laughs, putting the suitcase down*
Yup. Okay, I know of a snowy place near here...
Onwa: I love you too Liliana.
(Oh yeah, it was me! Sorry!
Sophia, truth or dare?)
(Oh yeah, it was me! Sorry!
Sophia, truth or dare?)
((@Pearl: It's your turn))
*stops when he sees the vampire* You wouldn't happen to be the one who screamed would you ? * looks around and sees the hole and the girl inside* Ah hello there, you wouldn't happen to be screaming would you?
(AGAIN?!)
*sniggers* I do?
((@Kes shall we say it's day?))
()
Sil: Yes. I do. Stay down and behave. You're my friend, I don't want to fight you.
Pearl: Afraid to say I was. I get claustrophobia and holes... *shudders*
