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...

(Check your email, I'll explain.)
Onwa: *smiles slightly, leaning back*
Don't be.. it's fine.
James: Then you aren't a very good vigilante.
Manuel: *walks in, holding the door for her*
(Alright, Jaimie.)
*wishes goodnight to Adam and Aria*
*and a goodbye to Lonely*
*shadow never pretended to be new*
*she was just... here*
*is finding it difficult to show herself*
*also, her iPod is acting strange...*
Liliana: Lauren I decapitated, Katie I threw into a volcano...
Bethany: Okay...
Claire: I don't claim to be... Please could I watch? I'll just take the money and sit in the corner silently?
Lily: *she smiles, walking inside* It's nice in here.
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
*cuddles close*
James: No.
Manuel: *carefully closes the door*
Thank you. It's.. meant to be calming..
Liliana: I held her by the wings above the lava, then sliced off her wings.
Bethany: *she cuddles her closely back*
Claire: Okay. Fine. I'll go the moment I have my money.
Lily: It is. It's wonderful.
...
*mind is arguing with itself*
*half of her wants to say who she is, the other half wants to stay... not named*
*though she figures people will find out*
*Sophia had known since the start*
*wonders who else knows*
Onwa: *twitches a small smile, trying to control herself*
Continue.
Love you.
James: By the window.
*money slowly floats and then drops in front of the window*
Manuel: Good.. food?
(*hugs the shadow*)
Hmm... Earlier this morning I was fine. Now I'm starting to feel the effects of not sleeping until past 2:30 AM...
Good morning.
(*hugs angry lonely*
*hugs scar* Hey..)
Yikes... Was this a bad time to come on?
*knows who Shadow is due to a certain deleted comment*
*was told not to say anything, though she's like to*
Liliana: Annette I cut off her arm and beat her to death with it... She won't be forgiving me in a hurry.
Bethany: I love you, too. *she cuddles against her*
Claire: *she smiles* Thanks. *she moves to the window, picking up the money*
Lily: *she nods* Yes please... But I have rather strange dietary requirements. Nothing that is the result of the death of a living being, or is a dead being itself.
*she'd
Hi, Sil...
Onwa: *bites the inside of her cheek to stop from laughing*
James: Now leave.
Manuel: Hmm. Interesting. Any preferred food?
(*cuddles scar* hi.. sorry about earlier.)
...
*that deleted comment was an accident*
*she didn't mean for it to post...*
*is still thankful that Scarlet won't say anything though*
*returns Sil's hug and cuddle*
It's okay... How are you doing now?
*glances at Shadow*
*mumbles a you're welcome*
(I'm okay now.. Will probably sleep soon..
*has no idea who the shadow is*
*won't ask Soph or scar because privacy..*)
*nods*
Okay. I'm glad you're feeling better now though.
(Night saoirse.
How are you Scar?)
*silently thanks Sil*
*she'd rather reveal herself in her own time, though part of her wants it done sooner than later...*
(You're welcome Shadow :)
Hi.
Well.
That's
Somebody doesn't seem to understand rp's and characters...
Anyways...
Hi.
Good night, Seir.
I'm doing well. Having trouble organizing some thoughts, but it's okay.
Okay. Late comment is late. :P
Hi again, Seir. *hugs* I get what you mean. Mood swings are hard to deal with sometimes. I get them easily because two different personalities sharing a brain. :P
Hi Kas.
I didn't even get mood swings till I was 18. They're not fun, I know. But they'll pass.
*hugs Seir and Scar* :)
Correction: author gets them easily. I'm me so that's different.
At least... I think? Now I'm confused. Oops. ^^'
I understand. *nods and hugs*
*tacklehugs Seir* :P
*returns the hug*
Same Kas, the mood swings started around the time author was 18.
Her aunt says it may be just something many teenagers go through, though some start later than others.
*smiles*
Good to see you happy again, Seir.
Darn, gotta go deal with laundry.
Be back soon!
*cuddles, ignoring the medal* :3
(I don't need no medal :P)
Hello, everyone.
Don't be so hard on Rhos, please.
But only if you're not so hard on Keiron.
Okay?
In the last 38 hours, I only got 3.5 hours of sleep. I should sleep too.
Why are you handing me medals? Did you buy a box of chocolate medallions or something? Are you hyper because of the chocolate??? :3
*finally realized what happened as she didn't real the role playing earlier*
*blinks*
Huh...
*is distant while she folds the clean clothes*
*wonders if she should wait and see before saying good night*
*smiles while watching the hyper happy two*
Good night, Adam.
Night, Adam.
Everyone should chill out tbh. *sighs*
Or am I missing something? Tell me what I'm missing! JUST GIVE ME A REASON TO GET THE PITCHFORK OUT!!!
Night, Seir.
And to all UK minions who're going/went to sleep, sleep well. :)
Seirsha, uh... bed time, not hyper time? *cuddles*
*pulls Scarry into the cuddle*
Oh noes what have I done?
*laughs*
*cuddles both back*
:)
*pulls away the pitchfork and puts it away*
I did mention there being a reason to get the pitchfork out.
Then I guess I /should/ have waited to say good night. :P
*laughs again*
Some first comment. XD
You can have the pitchfork in the morning, Seir.
For now, though... *hands her the RTG worm*
Hear hear! And thanks! :D
*accepts her medals with a flourish*
*gives all the chocolate medallions to Scarry, hoping she won't get too hyper*
Hear hear! :) Scarry! :3
Gosh, you two are distracting me from folding! x)
*pulls herself away from the iPod screen*
*RTG worm is warm and radiates heat*
*noms on chocolate*
CHOCOLAAAAAAAATE. :D
*uses chocolate as blankets*
Scarry, be wary of ninja blankets! :|
Bye Seir! Good night!
Oh noesssss! Ninja blankets!
*karate chops a piece of chocolate*
*sees that it's the real thing*
Ooh!
*noms on a half silently holding the other out to Kas*
:)
*laughs and gently pokes Seir*
Change and go to sleep silly you!
Good night, Seirsha!
Honestly, I didn't do anything. I'm pretty sure it was Kas. :) Who started it, at least. :P
*smile fades as she realizes something*
Hmm...
*smiles again and pokes the hyper one*
*smiles and eats the chocolate*
I'm glad you feel better, Seir. And you helped, Scarry. It's not just me.
What's wrong, Scarry?
*pokes them both*
There, I fixed it.
*shakes her head, smiling again*
Nothing, it's okay.
*grins*
*pokes Seir back and sneak pokes Kas too*
*runs away laughing*
*assumes Seir's wifi cut off*
Have a good night, you! Sleep well. :)
Hmm...
I'm gonna see if I can set up an email account on my iPod.
*chases and cuddles Scarry*
Idk... I usually feel so depressed in the evening. But you two cheered me up. :)
*cuddles warmly*
Try Gmail
Good night, Seir! *places the RTG worm near her to warm her up*
*cuddles back*
I'm glad to hear that, Kas. :)
And I was planning to. But... That means I'm going to have to log off this email and create a new one. I may be gone for a bit.
Aww :/
Why are you trying to open a new account?
Because... So I can have my own rather than using Lavender's...
Ya know... If I ever wanted to email under my own name...
If that's okay...
Okay...
I'm falling asleep with a smile on my face now. Thank you for that. Good night! :)
You're welcome. :) Good night, Kas.
Sleep well.
Okay.
I still agree with Sophia (I'm doing a lot of that lately :P).
And I also agree with Elleni.
Keiron wasn't being Cheryl in-roleplay. He was being her out of roleplay too. It was full-on impersonation.
That is why Rhos is mad, although I admit his reaction was a bit extreme.
However, if you're less used to everyone changing their identities and, to paraphase, fucking with your mind, ypur reaction would be more extremr. Just pointing out.
(this is just me...
I would like to apologise for my extremeness last night
I do have good reason for it
But yeah, it was a tad too extreme...
So yeah, I'm sorry for it
I've deleted it and now would prefer
That we leave dead things buried
Thank you
And I'll see you guys the week after next
Peace )
(*Sighs*
So pissed off and upset...
We're completely done...
I'm sorry this involved you as well Rhos...I can tell you got on well with Cheryl and it's all just been a big lie to get to me..
*Hugs Rhos tightly*)
Hi.
(Hey Kassy...
*Cuddles tightly*)
(*cuddles Kassy and Gemmy*)
(May I just point out - this is why anonymity is a bad thing.)
Liliana: Those are the most memorable.
Bethany: *she holds her close* Thank you for marrying me... I mean it.
Claire: Sure. *she starts to walk out* *at the very last second, just before the door, when she is out of sight, she ducks between two containers in a space adults cannot fit through*
Lily: I prefer drinking to eating, so when I have something to eat its usually rather small.
(Morning Jaimie...
What pisses me off more, is that Rhos started to like Cheryl.
And he used her to try and convince me Struan was gay and to trick me into going back out with him...)
(Struan is gay and you were already back out with me )
(*nods* the Rhos thing is bad..)
Onwa: *smiles*
Mmm..
*kisses her gently*
Thank you for marrying ME..
James: *teleports to the dummy's side, fixing a hand on its shoulder*
Manuel: *nods* fruit?
(Gemma - I, personally, would not go so far. He may been have attempting to help you rather than hinder in his actions. I rather think that his intentions were somewhat good towards you - not to Garrett, however. To Garrett he was an asshole. And should he actually decide to come on again, I will be saying exactly what I think on the matter.)
(Don't sit there on your pedasyol thinking you are better than me Adam you made her cry too... I just needed a break from being me.)
(Don't sit there on your pedasyol thinking you are better than me Adam you made her cry too... I just needed a break from being me.)
(@Keiron he doesn't have to pretend to be better than you. YOU FLIRTED WITH GARRETT. At least Adam only hit on Gemma. Cheryl was a friend and she was MADE UP.)
(Oh, he's actually turned up. Alright. Hello, Keiron. First - I have told people about the dangers of anonymity for a while, and no one has been exactly taking notice, because everyone here would "not do something bad" whilst being anonymous. But you have done exactly that. What you did to Garrett was disgusting. It is people like you who I was concerned about. I do not give a shit about your reasons for doing it - whether they be good or bad. The outcome is what matters to me. And you fucked up. Big time. It was not just a "mistake".)
(You also deceived and lied to her.
You also potentially manipulated her.
And she probably sees this as betrayal.)
Liliana: What are the various ways that you killed people?
Bethany: *she kisses her back* I would have always married you.
Claire: *she quickly shuffles between two containers, coming out behind him* *she quickly aims at him with her pistol, and pulls the trigger*
Lily: Mango... Banana... I like most fruit, actually.
Onwa: Hmm. Mainly I've just relied on my magic. I'm a fan of making it bloody and painful.
*smiles*
And I would have always married you.
James: *jerks, ducking and hissing, the shot landing in his shoulder*
*teleports away*
Manuel: I think I have mango?
( hit on flirt what's the difference he's your ex that was a new person I was being nice to ...I can't apolofize enough either you know.... I didn't manipulate her how could I were were already going out again.... I showed her that it is possible to get through this type of shit and people agreed... I made sense you know I did... Just because I pretend to be someone I'm not when that's what here is for... Are you actually a dragon is your name actually malygos / Lucifer and a devil ? None of us are who we say we are we come here to get away from something else or to face something as a different person I'd like to point out not once did I lie when helping when trying to reassure... Multiple people every bit of advice was from me. From personal experience... I didn't lie about the music I live hu I didn't lie about moral kombat only my name and back story the same as the rest of you)
Liliana: Bloody and painful... Intriguing.
Bethany: *she kisses her cheek* It's our wedding night, isn't it?
Claire: Running from a ten year old? Seriously?
Lily: Whatever you have is fine. *she smiles*
Onwa: Is it?
*grins*
It is.
Manuel: *nods and goes to the kitchen*
*comes back with a mango for her*
(Keiron, we all know that Adam is Malygos/Lucifer.
You pretended to be a girl, you said you were thinking about making a facebook. You were pretending Cheryl was a real person. Adam isn't, he's changing his name for a character. So am I. You were using Cheryl as a real person, speaking out of character. That's the problem.)
(Oh fucking great. He's outside my house right now.
I'm not going out...I'm not speaking to him...)
(My brothers came rushing in saying Keiron was outside.
They gave me an owl toy we were looking at yesterday.)
(He's outside your house?!?! Shout; OI NUTT JOB I DON'T WANNA TALK TO YOU, BUGGER OFF!!! Then ignore him. *nods*)
(Your brothers are adorable..)
Liliana: Mmm... May I have a sample?
Bethany: Once Claire comes back, we could...?
Claire: Well, I expected better. *she opens a container, taking out her motorbike* *she climbs on it, starting the engine and inputting the code* *she drives off, through the door, weaving through police officers*
Lily: We could share it?
Onwa: Of blood and pain?
*grins*
Mmm.. one sec.
*calls Claire*
Manuel: Of course, if you wish.
(*cuddles Saoirse, smiling*)
Liliana: Mmm...
Claire: *she answers by a hands-free device in her helmet* Hello?
Lily: That'd be nice. *she smiles*
(I will be back soon.)
Onwa: Hmmm..
Hey. If I leave the door unlocked and leave some keys in your room are you okay with me and my wife..
*smiles to herself*
going out?
Manuel: *nods* *gets a knife, slicing the mango up*
Hey, Hyper Girl! *hands her a pitchfork*
Uh... sorry about the cake.
*goes to eat pancakes instead*
*eats all the cake*
Yes! :3
But I must go eat now.
(He just left.)
(Keiron, he was at my house.)
(It doesn't matter...)
(Bye Hyper.)
Bye, Seir!
Hey, Gemmy!
(Hey Kassy)
(I am back.)
Liliana: *she grins*
Claire: If you mean sex, just say sex. James ran away, by the way. I shot him in the shoulder, though.
Lily: Thank you for letting me stay here.
Hey, Soph.
And I don't know what to say here. So I'll just ghost, okay?
(Hello, Tia.)
Actually, no, Tanya has some unfinished business to attend to.
...
*Tanya writes a letter to Sil, asking her to find James and get him to meet her*
(*cuddles Soph*)
Onwa: Hmm.. did you leave your whips at your old castle?
*rolls eyes*
Yes, me and Beth would like to go consummate our marriage. Is it okay if we leave the door open and a key next to the door?
Manuel: Of course.
*smiles, picking a slice up and eating it*
(@Kas it'd be quicker to text..)
(Tanya is busy and can't be bothered to find her phone)
(...)
(*cuddles Jaimie back*)
Liliana: I did... Mmm...
Claire: You don't have to leave a key. I can open the door by myself.
Lily: *she does the same, shifting a little closer to him*
(... :/)
Onwa: A shame..
Weirdo. Want me to lock the door?
Manuel: *smiles at her getting closer*
(I'm going to go out with a friend to Paisley...
I'll see you guys later :-/)
(*hugs Gemma* see you later..
Mbd. Making curry for later.)
Bye, Gem.
(*sighs*
Would you like to rp, Jai?)
Liliana: Mmm... Any other ideas?
Claire: Yes, I do.
Lily: *she smiles, taking another piece*
(Onions suck. I hate crying.
@Kas which of my characters?)
Onwa: Hmm.. knives.. meh..
Good. *hangs up*
Manuel: *smiles back*
(James, duh!)
Liliana: That is fine by me.
Bethany: Is she alright?
Lily: You are very kind, Friendship.
(Hey! Dont 'duh' me.
Yuck. Raw chicken.)
Onwa: *smiles, taking Liliana's dagger*
Yep. She says we can go now.
Manuel: *nods*
I do try to be.
(Okay.)
(Time skip, Jaimie?)
Bethany: Okay. *she smiles* Will you lock the door?
Lily: Me too. I think everyone deserves to have someone being nice to them.
(@kas just presume Tan has James number.)
(@Soph yes.)
Yeah. She says she can open it..
Manuel: *smiles*
I would agree.
Why would she? Her only memory of James is him dumping a dead body in her bunker.
(Hopefully I cooked that chicken right...
@ Kas idk say sil gave it her?)
(*hugs Adam*)
(*sighs*)
Liliana: Mmm... Fun.
Bethany: *she nods, smiling* Okay.
Lily: Thank you for being nice.
(Hey Adams.)
Onwa: *chuckles, returning her knife to her*
*stands up, locking the door*
Hmmm. Oh. I know.
*walks to Beth, picking her up bridal style and opening a portal to a private island somewhere near the equator*
Manuel: You are very welcome Lily.
(I'll be going now. Good bye.)
(Bye kas..?)
Liliana: *she sheaths it* Thank you.
Bethany: *she squeaks slightly* Where are we going?
Lily: I... Will admit the kiss we had was my first.
(Goodbye, Tia.)
Onwa: Youre welcome.
*laughs*
Somewhere.
*steps through the portal, onto the beach, portal closing behind her*
Manuel: *tilts head*
It was?
Got home. Charging phone. Hi again.
(*hugs saoirse*)
Liliana: Mmm... It hurts.
Bethany: *she smiles* Where are we?
Lily: It was... I may be above a thousand years old, but I've never... *she coughs* ... Yeah...
Onwa: Would you like me to heal you?
A very private island in a nice and warm place.
*carefully lays Beth on the sand, laying over her*
Manuel: Hmm. I hope I wasn't too bad in that case?
Liliana: *she shakes her head* Definitely not.
Bethany: *she holds her close, laying her wings down in the sand* ... Outdoors? Are you sure no one will see?
Claire: *she pulls up outside their house*
Lily: No... It was good. *she smiles*
Onwa: *grins*
Okay.
*kisses her neck gently*
Private, Beth. No one here but us.
Manuel: Good *smiles*
Liliana: I love you, Onwa.
Bethany: Okay. *she smiles, kissing her*
Lily: *she takes another piece of mango* I haven't eaten in fifty years... I'm starving.
Hey, Seir.
*heading to bed now, but leaves hugs for everyone since she didn't come on this evening*
Author's feeling pretty tired tonight. She'll probably be able to fall asleep quickly. Good night from us!
Onwa: I love you too Liliana.
*kisses her back*
(Time skip?)
Manuel: Eat up. I have more.
(Brb. Gotta go buy cat food with money I don't possess in clothes I don't have.)
Liliana: Did you make the right decision?
(Yes, Jaimie.)
Lily: Really?
(Back)
Onwa: I did.
*sighs happily, smiling, shifting on the sand*
Manuel: Indeed.
(*hugs saoirse*)
Liliana: Good. *she smiles, cuddling her*
Bethany: That was... amazing... Thank you...
Lily: *she smiles in thanks, eating more mango*
Onwa: *cuddles her back*
*smiles, blushing slightly*
*kisses her gently*
Mmm.. you're welcome..
Manuel: *nods back*
(*Hugs people because people seem to be hugging*)
(Yeah, sure.)
(*hugs Adam*
*cuddles Gemmy!*)
(*Cuddles Jaimie*
I love you sis)
Liliana: You are perfect, Onwa.
Bethany: *she kisses her back, holding her close* I have sand between my feathers...
Lily: So... Uh... Tell me about yourself? How old are you? Where do you come from?
Hey.
Keiron didn't mean to cause this much hurt and upset.
I do agree that what he did wasn't okay, but it was lots of people vs. one and the lots were being a bit more harsh than I would think necessary.
So.
(Love you too gemmy.)
Onwa: As are you
*laughs slightly*
Really? Oops.
Manuel: Texas. I came from Texas. I'm around fifty or sixty.
*looks, like, 20*
*She nods then goes downstairs to get savannah's lemonade*
*She comes back upstairs a few minutes later with her drink and hands it to her, smiling*
*Goes back to the bar and cleans the skeleton's glass*
*Sighs and puts the glass away then goes back over to Lucifer, Smiling*
Yes, Lucifer?
*hugs Elleni*
Oh...
*frowns*
*Leans over her and looks at the menu*
well we have every drink in the world so if it's not on the menu we probably will still have it.
What is it that you want?
*Looks back at her and smiles*
I'm listening to Taylor Swift's 'Welcome to New York' and considering how for the world, New York is kind of the fashionable, popular Place To Be . . .
And then I thought, "Hmm, what's the Alethi equivilent of New York?"(Alethkar - country in the Stormlight Archive) and realised it was probably the Shattered Plains (where the Alethi-Parshendi war is being fought. All the Alethi people of importance are on the Shattered Plains. It's unofficially their new centre of government). :P
What does it tell you that the New York of Alethkar is the place where a war is being fought?
It tells you that it's a country focused on war (which it is).
And then I thought, what does it tell you about us that our New York is New York?
What does it suggest that our culture is focused on?
I don't know. But it's something to think about. :P
*Yelps as she's dragged out of the bar*
What are you doing?! where are you taking me?!
Stop!
*tries to prise Lucifer off her*
*Panicks as they go towards the forest*
Please...don't!
*Stares at the crystal*
*Coughs as they're surrounded by smoke, closing her eyes*
*When Lucifer laughs she opens her eyes and the room is bitch black*
W-where are we?
*She feels dizzy and stumbles*
W-we're in hell?
*Pushes herself away from her*
I don't want to be here...I want to go home...
*Backs away*
(I love Taylor Swift, Star, but I haven't heard that song.)
It's a new one, Aria.
I am neother fond nor unfond of Taylor Swift. I will admit, however, that she is very good at singing.
(She is. She's beautiful, has an amazing voice and she's m favourite female artist. Ed Sheeran is my favourite male artist and he's best friends with Taylor and they've done a song together, so perfect...)
(my*)
(It seems I disappeared briefly.)
Liliana: I am not.
Bethany: It's fine. At least it isn't anywhere else...
Lily: I'm sorry, I don't know where Texas is.
*Stares at the massive gate with the skulls*
*Whimpers slightly, thinking she might never get out of here*
*Is dragged by her wrist, heels clicking as she walks*
Why won't you just let me go home...?
Why did you even come to Blogland?
(Sorry. Was eating.)
Onwa: Yes you are.
*blushes, grinning*
Mmm. At least.
Manuel: That's quite alright. Its in America?
Hello.
Sorry for disappearing earlier.
(Welcome back Jaimie, Kassy)
You like the bar...? I've never seen you there before...
Do you know the owner?
*Blushes at the lip biting*
*Looks down at the hand-holding but thinks it better just to go with it rather than try and run away*
Where exactly is it we're going?
Liliana: *she shakes her head*
Bethany: *she cuddles her* Do you think we should get dressed and go back?
Lily: I've never been...
*Thinks*
If you've not met the owner...
Did I serve you?
Because the owner is also the only bartender. I'm just a waitress... I fill in for him when he's not there.
*Is tugged along*
Why won't you just tell me?
*frowns at the tightening grip*
(I will be back soon.)
*suddenly has a decent idea for a fanfic, and a tiny amount of motivation to write*
*thinks about writing*
Onwa: *nods*
Mmm.. *leans lazily against her* Later..
Manuel: Perhaps you should visit there.
(*Suddenly remembers he exists*
Oh yeah... guess that means I'm here.)
