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...

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 4510 Newer› Newest»(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.
(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*
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?
(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?
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.)
*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*
(No, Adam.)
Aria *cocks head* wait up ! are you okay?
*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...
*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*
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?
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*
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 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?
(Sophia...you were right about the whole year thing...
But I don't want to be alone for a year...
Yeah sure I have you guys.
But I don't want to be stuck on the computer all the time typing.
I'll still be alone in my room.
David and Adam live in East Kilbride...I won't get to see them.
Stuart hardly talks to me.
Kris is in England and so is Jai.
I have no one...
(*shakes head at Boy*
Not helping yourself.)
(Wow.
I saw a lot of things coming.
But that? That right there surprised me.)
(*sits and cries into her pillow*
Y-you were wrong about me John...
But i'll be alone now...so it's fine...you got what you wanted...
*Cuddles Jaimie tightly*)
Liliana: *she kisses her passionately back, pulling her close*
Bethany: ... Do you think she will be?
Claire: I'm a vigilante, idiot. And she is a criminal. This is what I do. *she draws her pistol* If you want, I could shoot her in the shoulder? Although, I'd really hate to do that. Selling damaged goods and all that. I'm afraid she won't do much in terms of moving. I paralysed her. *she pulls out a needle, waving it a little* Specially designed to stop vampires in their tracks - derived from their serum. I made it myself. Just give the order and I'll shoot her. It's not like it matters to me what condition she's in.
Lily: Yes. *she nods* White is so much better than red.
(*cuddles Gemma tightly back* shh.. it's okay..)
Onwa: *smirks*
Mmm..
I do.
James: shoot her.
Manuel: I have to agree.
(Gemma - Just because you do not have a boyfriend, does not mean you are alone. Actually, it means the opposite. People in relationships tend to talk to each other and not a great deal to anyone else. So by being alone, that will not happen - so you should get closer to your friends.)
(I don't have any friends. The ones I have live ages away...apart from Stuart but he hardly comes out of his room...)
(Brb. Teeth.)
Liliana: I always thought I was rather shallow.
Bethany: Would he kill her?
Claire: Sure. *she shoots the mannequin in the shoulder, playing the very realistic sound on her phone whilst doing so* *she places her hand on her forehead, as if she has a headache, concealing her eyes for a moment - in which time, she has made the mannequin shift slightly to "protect" the wounded area, but only slightly to convey the concept of paralysis* *crimson paint leaks out of the wound* Damn, I think I have a migraine coming on. Could we make this deal quick?
Lily: I think we will get along rather well. *she smiles*
*pokes her head hesitantly out from behind the trees*
...
*wonders if now's a bad time to reveal who she is*
*though she finally thinks it may be time*
...
*yet she kinda liked being a shadow...*
Onwa: Hardly.
..Yes...
James: Mmm..
*watches it all very closely*
Manuel: I hope so. Here we are.
*opens the door to his quaint little cottage*
(@The shadow go ahead and reveal yourself if you wish.)
(In twenty seven years, I have had one boyfriend and one one-night-stand with a woman when I was rather drunk. Admittedly, I am somewhat introverted and I never really had any friends when I was younger to begin with, but nevertheless.)
*wait*
*so Cheryl is fictional,
And is actually the boy / K*
*I'm so bamboozled*
*no one has to explain if you don't want to?*
*it'll be okay*
Liliana: Mmm...
Bethany: Would he kill her immediately or...?
Claire: I have not had exactly the most stress free day. Are you coming or what? I want my money, and I don't want to get shot by the police.
Lily: *she smiles* It's cute, and beautiful.
(*hugs Sophi*
Ah. I have the ded.
I dedicate to Gemma. She's my friend, my sister. I hate how much pain she's been through cause of guys. Yes, she's been foolish, but still.. She's brilliant.)
(I think you're right Elleni... since I went out with George I've never been out of a relationship for long, which is probably why I'm so scared of being alone...it's been like 3 years since I've been alone for a long time...
I'm kinda scared...loneliness is really my biggest fear...
All the other fears seem so little...the darkness isn't as scary when you're with someone.
Onwa: *smiles*
Hmm.. May you tell me how you killed each of the angels?
I'm not sure..
James: I'll leave money by the window, in return you leave the girl. Understood?
Manuel: Why thank you..
*opens the door*
(Lonely - I once said that no one here is ever new, and that those who claimed to be so were just attempting to hide themselves. It is somewhat pessimistic, but entirely true. It is actually rather sad, coming to think of it.
*hugs Jaimie back*)
*feels totally mind fucked*
*yeah not pretty*
*I'll see you guys around sometime*
*probably the week after next*
*because next week I'm on holiday so no blog and im thiking of staying away for the rest of this week*
*because yeah mind fucking... *
*anyway, I'll see you guys around sometime
Peace*
*hugs*
*waves and poofs*
*thank you Soph*
*so my above was right
Mind fucked*
*nice... *sarcastic tone*
*properly poofs now*
Liliana: Mmm... If I can remember them. Lily I stabbed in the chest and slit her throat whilst she was asleep. Rebecca, I think, I suffocated her with her wings. Rachel I impaled...
Bethany: I'm worried...
Claire: Of course. I was expecting to see you, though. *she smiles* Part of me actually wanted to watch what you'd do to her.
Lily: *she waits politely for him to enter*
