As a treat, and to help you pass the time until I announce the title of the new book, the kindly folks at Harper Collins have come up with something that thrills me to the very core — a throwback to my childhood love of video arcades and all things Space Invaders...

*mutters mainly to herself*
Still can't believe she slept that long...
You should try and get to sleep, you'll probably be really tired tomorrow...Or...later on.
Yeah, no kidding.
*sighs*
She does this often. Can't sleep only to nap later, and today was the longest nap she's ever taken, so I doubt she'll be able to sleep soon, but I could try...
Yeah, I'll try getting her to sleep. See you guys tomorrow.
*hugs*
Good night from us.
Hey Cheryl, you ok?
Bye Scarlet.
(Mums back.. trying to help her.. not going very well..)
So you think you're able
To survive this mess by being
A prince or a princess, you will soon see,
There's no escaping tragedy.
And even
If you put in heaps of effort,
You're just wasting energy,
'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history.
I
Have suffered in this jail.
I've been trapped inside this cage for ages,
This living hell,
But if I try I can remember,
Back before my life had ended,
Before my happy days were oven,
Before I first heard the pealing of the bell...
Like you I was curious,
So innocent I asked a thousand questions,
But, unless you want to suffer,
Listen up and I will teach you a thing or two.
You, listen here, my dear,
You'll be punished so severly if you step out of line,
And if you cry it will be double, you should stay out of trouble,
And remember to be extremely careful.
Y?
Why? Did you hear what he said?
Just you wait for phyz.ed.!
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X
Y y y y y y y.
Why?
Just you wait for phyz.ed.!
That's good Cheryl.
Aww Jai...*hugs tightly*
*Tilts head at sav*
(It's a song Aria! :P)
(Oh. Um...lovely song...)
(Hey Adam)
My friends I have a question to ask you all
Which profile pic do you prefer?
1: My current one (a pic of me)
2: My previous pic (go back 2-4 pages and you'll see it )
???? )
You who?? ) (lol)
And hi Cher *hugs* )
Hi.
Sorry for disappearing earlier.
I've gotta shower, deal with mum, eat, then I'll be back.
Take care.
*leaves a warm hug for everyone*
Also -_-
Some people are so lucky.
(okay Kas
And who's so lucky? )
(No ta Adam *bro hugs*
Sorry... )
May I ask why you prefer this one Cher? (curiosity) ;p )
(*is here*
*is distant*)
*smiles* fair doo's,
Makes sense ;3 ) (for the whole name to face thing )
And with Duggy I'm not sure really...
She just seems to come and go like the tides :) )
(I'll join in...)
(Yay John!
Cheryl!
I'll join in too Adam :D
4 of us?
You know, I missed when I was getting kidnapped by erebus...now that was fun.
But yeah what's the RO going to be about, Adam? are you starting?)
(xD Cheryl...)
Autocorrect
Making sentences funny since when ever it first came into being
Rhos 2015
*bows*
*quietly watches peoples*
*mbd* )
(*Looks to John*
You're amazing at RP ideas, have any John? We currently have 4 people. -Skulduggery- might join in too, so 5.)
(On second thought I'll just remain a ghost... I have to drive my sister to an orthodontist appointment soon anyways...)
(What about you Cheryl, since you're the newbie? do you have any RP ideas? ^.^)
(only if you want.. I don't mind)
(Awww John!!!!
D: you should join in, you're amazing at RP...)
(Yeah, I like that....
John, you should be Lucifer :3 because you're awesome.)
(Me Adam!)
(Zaf has Lucifer as a character.)
(She does? O.o wat.
Hmm. I wonder if Zaf is around...)
(Hello?)
7
(i can be in if not a burden..)
(Not a clue. I kinda wanted to be the damsel in distress, because it's nice being saved...but now that Cheryl is here too I can't hog all the attention :P
Since Aria's the only character I have who needed saving...since she's hopeless at fighting.)
(I wasn't saying you couldn't.
Ok brainstorm.
Zombie Apocalypse
-done it too many times-
Lucifer coming to life
-Zaf has him as a character-
Attack on Olympus?
Blogland flooding and becoming Atlantis perhaps?
Aliens?
-too similar to zombies attacking...-
Vilan coming to try take over?
Someone hurting to kill a specific person and essentially kidnap and torture them?
That's all the ideas I have right now.
(Wait what?
*Looks at Cheryl and Adam*)
(Uh...)
(So, what do you guys think of my ideas?
We should get this started soon.)
(I like atlantis ... we could have people try to stop the water by crating an air dome)
(Apparently Zafira has a character called Lucifer so I doubt we can just use her character. Let's try and avoid that one.)
(I guess...if you guys want to go for Lucifer ^.^ I'm happy with that. Go on then :P
Adam or Cheryl, you start.)
(so do you want me or no ?)
*Is wearing her uniform as she works at Trips bar*
*Walks up to Cheryl and Skulduggery*
Would you two like a drink?
It is nice *smiles her bright and happy waitress smile*
I've kind of made his spare room my own...he did save my life twice afterall, I owe it to him to help him out here.
And I really don't mind working here either. I get to meet so many new people...this is like the heart of Blogland this place...
I'll take a martini shaken not stirred *grins with his facade on*
*Smiles back at Cheryl and rolls her eyes at Skulduggery*
*Heads down the stairs to get their drinks*
Hello there *cocks head* I don't believe I've met you ? Hi I'm skullman more often known as Skulduggery. *Puts out his right hand*
Whatever makes you happy, some of my friends call me that anyway so you're kinda half way there to being one already ... as long as you don't attack me then again some of my friends do that too.
*Comes back upstairs with their drinks, smiling*
One Vodka and coke for the young lady and one martini *sighs* shaken not stirred, for the handsome skeleton.
*stands leaning on the bar from the opposite side of the bar from them*
Enjoy, just tell me if you want anything else.
Thank you m'lady *hands her the money*
I can understand that, but if it comes to that then I shall not back down either.
Oh, thanks guys.
*Takes the money and puts it in her pocket*
*Notices the new customer and stands up straight*
Be right back guys.
*Walks over to the figure*
Hi there, can I get you anything to drink?
You are radiant might I add *looking at Aria* ... who's the new girl at the end of the bar ?
Of course. I'll be right back.
*Gives her a bright smile back and goes back downstairs*
(Hmm. I somewhat disagree with the morals of the book I just finished. I mean..
Okay so species B takes over species A's habitat, causing Species A to be nearly wiped out.
Species A make an army and hunt species B
The small remainders of species B flee.
A small group of species A, still wanting their revenge, eventually follow.
Species B kills everyone who followed from species A, leaving species A without a leader whom they heavily rely on for survival.
Species B celebrates.
But.. I.. just don't think that's right..)
You sure are confident !*Looking back at Chezer* You don't even know my type of magic or how strong it is.
I have my facade up! How did you know ? I didn't take notice of you calling me skullman even with it up because I'm so used to it. *scowls at chezer taking off his facade*
*She comes back upstairs with a tray and two vodka shots on it*
*Walks over and gives it to the women*
There you are ma'am.
Just give me a shout if you need anything else, ok?
*Winks at her and walks back over to the bar*
Well then, just because you've seen a skeleton in a suit doesn't mean you put it there.
*Stops and turns back to the women*
I'm afraid I can't right now, I'm working.
*smiles*
@Jai: It really depends on the context, and on your personal morals.
You know in the Bible when whatstheirnames, the people of God, the Isralites I think they're called . . . God said he gave them the Promised Land, but the problem was that when the Isralites came to take it there were people already in it, and the Isralites were basically like 'get out' and the other people were like 'hey, we were here first' and then the Isralites basically fought them out.
And I watched a video once in Sunday School that explained that even though this didn't seem fair, it actually was because the land really belonged to God, and they gave the netaphor that if you (God) had a toy (the land) and you lent it to your friend (the prople there first) and they played with it for a while, then if you asked for the toy back so you could give it to your other friend (the Isralites), you were well within your rights because a) it was your toy and b) it's fair to let all your friends have turns.
I actually agree with you, Jai, but I gabe the anecdote above to a) counterargue coz why not and b) point out that everything can be justified somehow.
(And actually, I think the eradication of a soecies is never okay. I'm not really keen on the whole eradication idea, tbh.)
I just kind of thought thoughts as they passed through my head there . . . they may not be relevant.
On a few other subjects I missed while away -
a) *hugs Jai tightly*
b) *agrees with Sophia*
c) Thank you, Sophia, for the dedication. :)
d) I agree with -
I can't remember who I agree with.
One sec.
*agrees with Sophia about the relationsgip thing, specifically
Fair enough. I suppose I am both of those things. It is a really nice suit thou.
(Sorry I can't be here. Helping mother with things...)
(Alright Kassy *smiles and hugs*)
Oh, I agree with Sophia again. :P
And I just want to say that he vould be asexual as well as gay. I'm not saying this for pedanticness, I'm just saying it because #visibility. XD
(I think I owe it to people to spread visibility.)
I also want to say that Saoirse's ex is being a couple dick, and that *hugs* I'm really sorry that he's, y'know, behaving that way. Sadly, people are idiots. Happily, he probably will get over it.
*get over bring a dickhead to you, at least
(*hugs the star*)
*Looks around the bar too, seeing that Chezer and Skulduggery are just talking and not wanting served*
It is good vodka...and it does seem everyone is happy with their orders for now...
*Thinks*
Alright, I guess I could stay for one drink.
*Sits in the stool beside her*
*raises glass* long into our twenties *clinks glasses then drinks*
(Hey Star)
*hugs Jai back*
Hey Aria. :)
And how are ou on this fine morning?
(it's morning somewhere in the world :P)
(I'm good Star, thank you for asking.
How about you?)
I could say the same to you... I am roughly *thinks because you loose count* around 500 now.
*Raises her shot too*
Hmm...
*Tries to think of something to toast to*
I'm not sure...
You think of something
*Smiles*
Since you're new here.
:)
Oh, that's good, Aria.
I'm fine, thank you. :)
Liliana: I meant layers to me?
Claire: Uh... What would you do if you were shot? Do that.
Lily: *she smiles, cuddling gently against him*
Yeh and I'm not the great skeleton detective *a smile can be heard in his voice* I could find out your true age in a matter of minutes... In fact I could find out before I finish my drink.
I will not find out if you tell me I am the best looking suit of bones you have ever seen. *chuckles*
Ooh yeah.
And my friends are officially insane.
I don't just mean they're weird, I mean they need help.
B keeps random falling asleep - aa in, she can be walking along and she'll just fall asleep and collapse on the ground. She doesn't understand why, but she can't predict when it"ll happen and it's rather worrying.
And C's hallucinating. Today she thought it was raining on her, and although we were inside and there was no rain in sight, she swore blind that it was raining on her, and ws just like "I'm WET. It keeps landing on me. Can't ypu feel it? Where's it coming from?" and I was just like "C, you're hallucinating," and she was like, "No, I'm not. It's just raining on me."
Idek.
(C also occasionally hallucinates people - she sees them standing in front of her talking to her - so I'm not too worried. It'll just be her overactive imagination - she says it happens when she doesn't write for a while.)
Onwa: Mmm.. there's the one that seems evil
Dont you DARE get shot! Dont even bother!!!
*sighs*
Hmm.. I could reinact my reaction to Minerve.. hurting Beth?
Manuel: *smiles, slipping an arm lightly around her shoulders*
(*frowns at star* ...)
@Jai: Ikr.
Thank you! Now I won't say what I found out.
*Frowns and looks confused for a moment*
Yeah...cheers...
*hesitantly downs the shot*
*She scrunches up her eyes*
Wow that's strong.
*Coughs slightly*
(Star - medical professionals need to be contacted about your friends.)
Liliana: Mmm?
Claire: I'm not going to get shot! It's a long story. I'll explain later. Just make the sound you would if you were shot in the arm or something. I need to record it.
Lily: *she wraps her wing around his back*
Onwa: Then there's the kind side to you.
*frowns*
I don't like being shot. It hurts
*sighs*
*clears her throat before crying out loudly in convincing pain, cursing to herself*
Manuel: *smiles*
Nearly there..
@Sophia: B won't go to medical professionals, and I believe C's already on some form of medication.
*not for hallucinations, though
*Smiles and places a hand over her stomach*
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just not used to alcohol being that strong, sorry.
*Looks up at her*
My name is Ariadne Silver.
(Yellow.)
(Oh god damit.
I don't have a ded...i'll give it to the next person who comments.)
Well I found out the moment you sat next to me. They don't call me greatest skeleton detective because there are no other skeleton detectives you know.
(Boom.)
(Keiron gets to ded xD)
(Unless someone else really wants it.)
(*scowls*)
(*destroys 'The Boy's boy'*)
(Jaimie, you can have ded rights if you want them...
*Gives Jaimie the ded rights*)
(Thank god !)
Liliana: Anything else?
Claire: *a slight beeping sound is audible* Thank you. That is all. Love you. *she hangs up*
Bethany: Are you alright?
Lily: Good. *she smiles*
(Rp anyone?)
Thank you.
*blushes slightly*
What's your name?
*Looks down at the vodka*
*doesn't even think and picks it up and downs another*
(Seir, you can join in ours.
Cheryl, skully, adam and I are all in a group RP.)
(*smiles and cuddles the ded rights* mine!)
Onwa: *smirks*
Mmm. Your submissive side
*rolls eyes*
Yeah, I'm fine. Just a damn good actor.
Manuel: Mmm..
*Finishes his drink, looking at Chezer* That's not going to get you far.
*She stops and her eyes go wide*
W-what?
L-Lucifer?
(Got to go, sorry!)
(Bye Sav!)
Liliana: Mmm...
Bethany: ... That was an act? Oh gosh... I'm such an idiot... I was really worried...
Claire: *she sits down on a chair beside the mannequin, waiting* James, if you're actually around here, you might want to come and collect this criminal scum first before the police do...
Lily: Do you even like wine?
(Or not! Sorry, do you guys mind if I join?)
Onwa: *grins*
*laughs and hugs her*
Aww. It's fine. I'm just a good actor.
James: *his chuckle echoes around her*
Manuel: I do. I is one of few alcoholic beverages I enjoy.
(Not at all Sav, we're all in Trips bar.)
(K, thanks!)
Savannah the cat: *walks into the bar and morphs into a human* *looks around*
*She gulps and gets up*
*she's blushing*
Y-you can have this seat, chezer...
*backs away and walks quickly past Skulduggery into her room*
(Hey is Lucifer Rhos?)
(No, Adam.)
(K, hi! *waves*)
Aria *cocks head* wait up ! are you okay?
Savannah: *watches the girl and skeleton leave* *shrugs and goes to sit down*
*Calls to him*
Y-yeah...I'm fine Skully...
I-
*feels a bit light headed*
*Sits on her bed*
are you sure you don't need any help? ... You kinda stopped mid sentence *knocks on her door as if asking for permission*
*Lays back on her bed*
I'm fine.
Come in...
Savannah: *orders and turns around to Cher and Lucifer* Sorry, can I just quickly ask you two some questions?
*walks in and sits on the corner of her bed* You kinda walked away quickly from our new guest did she annoy you?
*Laughs* Not annoy...
She's...weird...and creepy an scary.
She said her name was Lucifer and she...she...
*shakes her head*
*She sits back, dizzy*
Lucifer ? I've heard that name before. -wonders if he should say isn't it in the mortals book of gods?- Aria *Looks inquisitively* Did she give you something?
W-we just had two vodka shots...
They were really strong though and I...I feel a bit sick...
*She's really pale*
Savannah: Do either of you know a girl with the name of Silente Tempest?
Come to the toilet you don't want to get sick on your comfy bed.. *holds out his hand to ask if she wants a lift there*
(Kaladin's didn't know who Lucifer was when he got mentioned in our Whatsapp roleplay.
It's really hard keep tracking of what he knows and what he doesn't. Like, I forgot he wouldn't know about cotten wool. And I difn't realisebhis world had crabs in it. And food? I havr no idea how much food he's encountered and how much that food overlaps with the food in our world.
I guess that's what's hard about fanfic.)
*Shakes her head*
I'm fine. I won't be sick.
I have a job to do...a new girl came in there...
*She goes back out into the bar, trying not to make eye-contact with Lucifer*
*She walks over to Savannah*
Hello there miss, would you like a drink?
Savannah: Okay, heard of James? *turns to Aria* Yes thanks, I'll just have lemonade please.
Okay *gets off her bed and follows her out* I'm going ... i'll just sit over Here.
(Apologies, it seems I disappeared briefly.)
Liliana: Any others?
Bethany: Good. *she kisses her gently, but passionately, hugging her back*
Claire: Ah, there you are. I thought you would be interested, given your history together? I caught her trying to assassinate someone. Nothing ever changes, right?
Lily: Red or white?
(I will be back soon.)
Alright, coming right up
*smiles*
*goes to leave*
*Stops and looks round*
Yes, Lucifer?
*Stares at her*
Savannah: Are you alright Miss?
Onwa: *grins*
Mmm.. your possessive side.
*kisses her gently but passionately back*
James: Indeed.
Manuel: Hm.. White.
*Trips slightly but stops herself*
I'm fine...get off, please...
*Pleads with her eyes*
(I can't right now I'm sorry..*leaves*)
(*Is so fucking pissed off right now but is going to stay and RP*)
N-no...I just need to go and serve this customer.
*Goes to leave but Lucifer is still holding her wrist*
(@Gem text..?)
(I just sent my future self an email that will arrive on my 16th birthday!)
(I am back.)
Liliana: Anything else?
Bethany: I do hope Claire is alright...
Claire: Could you show yourself so we can make a deal? Let's say... A thousand? A bargain, surely?
Lily: Awesome, me too. *she smiles*
*leaves hugs for everyone*
*I mean everyone damn it!*
*its how I roll*
*and the name is a song reference*
*go figure*
*ask if you want a hint*
*:P*
*for some reason I keep talking in asterisks*
*weird*
*^totally rhetorical*
*no reply needed*
*thank you all kindly*
(Being lied to isn't nice. Being tricked into thinking someone is telling the truth isn't nice...
*sighs*
it sucks tbh.)
*and if you work out who I is
Don't spill the beanz!*
*its a secret*
*sorta*
*shrugs*
*gives Aria / Gem an extra hug*
*(extra because of the one I left above)*
Onwa: *kisses her passionately*
Mmm.
So do I..
James: I want proof first.
Manuel: Really?
