The competition had nothing to do with me or Skulduggery — it was all to do with an educational video game designed to teach you maths and have, you know, actual fun while you do it. Incorporating historically accurate aspects of Native American tribal life and culture, the game was called Spirit Lake, and the competition was to find someone to become a character in it, using your name and likeness. Here's what I said about it at the time:
"And if this works like they hope it will, this could be the beginning of something huge. This could revolutionise teaching, and learning— not just in America but across the world— and it could be just the thing that's needed to help struggling students make that singular, all-important leap. This could change people's lives."
The competition was a great success. I got in some hilarious responses, and also some heartfelt ones, and while it was not easy to pick a winner, a winner I did pick.
And now I'm going to do it all over again.
These same awesome people — people who include the mother and sister of my personal (Twitter) friend, UFC champion Ronda Rousey* — have another game in development, called Forgotten Trail.
SO — if you like the idea of having a video game version of yourself teaching kids maths across America, give me your reasons why. In no more than thirty words, explain why you should win, and send your entries to skulteams@hotmail.com. You can enter as many times as you like, you can be any age, from any country, and the winner will be announced at the end of July.
Good luck!
* Yes, Ronda does count as a friend**.
** By friend I don't, of course, mean someone I've ever actually met, but that's not what's important here***.
*** What's important is that we're PALS. Some might say buddies. Kindred spirits, perhaps. I might even go so far as to say I've taught her everything she knows****.
**** I haven't ACTUALLY taught her everything she knows, but she knows that I would have, if ever I knew something that she didn't already know. Such as writing*****.
***** Although seeing as how Ronda's autobiography has made it to the New York Times bestseller list — a list I have yet to ACTUALLY grace — this probably isn't the best use of my, or her, time. But even so, I am sure there are PLENTY of things I could teach her. Though probably nothing useful or, you know, not-imaginary, like unicorn-taming, or yodelling******.
***** I'll shut up now.

Well.... *just hugs everyone present, hugs ghost(ers?) and everyone in between*
*yeah thats pretty much it*
*poofs, coz hungry lol*
(I also know one word in Czech which is 'Bibilotik' which means the in Germany, Library.
My dad and uncle sometimes went to the Czech Republic to work so yeah.)
(Hello, Garrett.
I never learned any language. Physics and maths were more my style.)
(Hey Rhos! *cuddles*
So yeah. 5 langauges? Kinda?)
:) *hugs Rhos*
Ah . . . I've never been to the Czech Republic and I don't know anyone who has. :)
(Means the same in Germany*)
My mum alwyas surprises me by how good she is at Dutch, actually. When we get games that have a Dutch option, she can sit tehre and read out the instructions in Dutch and can pretty much understand every word . . .
(Nice. I want to learn more Spanish and Japanese because i go to Spain like every year and i would love to go to japan so badly...
i want to go to China for the Cherry Blossom fastival but i want to go to Japan for the shopping. I want a kimono and chopsticks in my hair and to come home with so much anime stuff that i need more cases.)
@Gemma: XD
Well, I really hope you manage to do that one day. :) :)
Festival*
And yeah i hardly RP anymore. I think the last RP i took part in properly was Aria getting kidnapped by Erebus and that was last year lol (December)
I love the Japanese culture... i love anime. It's so much better than our stupid cartoons.
And Cherry Blossoms are my favourite flower so yeah. I love them so much, they're beautiful. They're called Sakura over there.
@Gemma: :) Yeah. I hardly roleplay eitehr . . . time, mostly.
:) Yes. They're beautiful. :)
(I may or may not have an idea for a possible group roleplay, I am not entirely sure.)
(I liked your RP with the Reapers, Sophia. It got most people joined in but it didn't last long.
You should tell us what your idea is :)
@Sophia: :) Well, if you do, yay!
(My participation very much depends on revision etc.)
(I will participate hopefully. If it is after Monday then i will still try and get on the wifi at reception but i don't know if i will be RPing.)
My last exam is on the 19th . . .
*checks date*
. . . Uh, so next week.
(I believe that was more Dragona's idea than my own, actually.
Alright. Minerve is at war in several realms to acquire artefacts capable of doing incredible things. Her idea is to acquire the objects and use them to kill the gods and absorb their power. Her primary goal is to destroy all of the realms, which will weaken the gods, as what they have control over will not exist, therefore they will not be able to do anything. She would then use the artefacts to kill the gods and absorb their power, so when Phaestra would remake the realms as they were before, Minerve would be the primary force in every single univers. That is what she wants. If there was word she had acquired one, it would be a case of finding the others before Minerve managed to get her hands on them, as well as avoiding Minerve because no doubt she would be wanting to hunt down those who were trying to stop her. But given that she would already have acquired one artefact, if she killed someone she would be able to absorb their power, making avoiding her even more important, and stopping her even harder.)
*nods*
The issue is with group roleplays . . .
. . . People actually haev to have the motivation to participate.
Onwa: *growls, waving a hand and healing Liliana*
You're welcome.
*puts her seat belt on*
Okay. Let's go.
*accelerates, A LOT*
Manuel: I am. I..
...
*catches up with comments and somehow her emotions finally catch up with her*
*sighs*
And I thought- never mind.
*isn't actually here*
SHIT.
Revision + music = shaking pen whilst doing revision = ink all over revision. XD
You'd think I'd learn. XD
*wipes ink off laptop*
. . . Tama?
*hugs
I need to go to HMV on Sunday to buy this album.
*is going to town anyway, with Darcie*
Liliana: Thank you, apologies.
*there is a large pulse of fire, knocking Liliana to the ground as well as scattering demons everywhere* *Ember is knelt down in the middle of a small circle of fire, her hair and arms alight and she is cut and bleeding in several places*
Bethany: *she presses against Silente* This is kind of scary...
Lily: ... Are you sure?
( fera: Asdf movie .... 🚅🚄
* watched that go down, physically couldn't say anything*)
10 pages down. 18 to go. :)
*will hopefully finish before I have to leave for school*
*is rather enjoying this, actually - I enjoy maths*
"The unit square OABC has vertices"
Well NO SHIT SHERLOCK IT'S A SQUARE.
*facepalm*
* . . . reads on a bit*
"The unit square OABC has vertices
O(0,0) A(1,0) B(1,1) C(0,1)"
. . . Oh. :P
( hi. Star 🌟 silly billy :P ...
Posted a comment but it didn't post and now I cant be bothered typing it again .... El can I use violonist in a chapter to show con going crazy etc more ... That's how I make my chapters , I change things I was planning on doing and then add stuff lol
*realised I skipped one or two chapters so will write them b4*
That was the just of the comment that didn't post)
(Star, remember to always read the question.)
@Sophia: Yeahhhhhh. :P
I'm normally okay with reading the question. I lose nearly all my marks in maths through silly mistakes, and nearly all my marks in science from not being PC enough. Sigh.
( not all squares have verticals and horizontals ... But they all have parallel lines. What if you tilt it 45)
(The majority of the time, the answer is in the question anyway, and it simply requires interpretation.)
@Conductor: Not verticals. Vertices. Meaning corners. :P
@Sophia: Right. No. I don't think so.
"What is a desiccator" yup not in question.
"Explain how these proteins are produced" yup not in question.
( ah lol I'm running on 2hrs sleep lol shh hehe )
(I was talking about the calculation questions, Star.)
@Conductor: :P And I thought six hours was bad.
@Sophia: Fair enough.
But isn't that calculating? Interpreting stuff?
Onwa: *is sent flying also, landing a bit away from Liliana, wincing*
*growls angrily*
Don't worry.
*presses the gas more, working to keep up with Claire*
Manuel: I.. Yes.. Lily, May we talk?
( 6 is my happy place :P I'm energetic on 6)
Liliana: *she stands up, walking to Onwa and holding her hand out to help her up*
Ember: Liliana? Onwa? Why are you here?
Bethany: Okay...
Claire: *she grins, leaving the pickup standing by pushing her foot down*
Lily: ... Should I worry?
Meh. Eight is where it's at. :P
Onwa: *takes the hand and stand up, healing herself*
For you.
*narrows her eyes*
Oh no she doesn't.
*activates a portal ahead of the pick up, driving through into the space a bit ahead of Claire*
Manuel: That depends upon what you would worry about?
Alrighty. Going soon. :o Should probably start getting ready.
( probably star 🌟, that'd be smart :P then again I did debate whether lounge pants classed as trousers to wear ob the train.... )
(I fell back to sleep...gah...sorry guys >.< really tired.
at least my friend is awake now so i'm going to get ready.)
( hi gem... That's good...
I'm so out of it that the train pulled into Edinburgh Waverly and i asked of we were in Scotland yet lol 😁. Only another 20 mins or so till back in good old paisley)
(Good good. It's so sunny today. Fedora on. Shorts on. Shades on. Let's go out in the sun. Woo.)
(Gtg guys. Speak to you all when i get back ;)
*leaves hugs for everyone then hugs Keiron cause he's here*)
(sorry was getting off train and such bye :P *hugs gem* )
*sighs*
I should think of her like Fitz, someone I would never dream of insulting.
Maybe that'll help.
*hugs Zaf*
*isn't completely here*
...
*goes to her treehouse, sees Lavender still working on the Project*
OH MY GOSH YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO STAY IN HERE THE WHOLE TIME.
*Lav just glares at her author, who is actually the one who forgot to stop her earlier*
Okay. Time to switch.
*Lavender, clearly relieved, takes a well deserved break as Tama enters her kitchen and takes her spot behind the counter*
*looks over the work done so far and reads the recipe*
*frowns, seeing that preparations are not yet finished*
Dang it.. Now then... "Needs to sit overnight for several days; during this time, all you can do is wait."
*sighs*
This is why recipes of magical proportions take so long. They have a HUGE waiting period... Fine. -_- Looks like Lavender completed the first half then. Now I get to do the fun part, but that's after the wait.
Hmm... What should I work on then....
*too late to do anything in real life*
*sighs again*
Fine. Looks like waiting it is.
*walks out to the platform of her treehouse and leans against the railing, folding her arms and resting them on the smooth wood as she looks to the lake*
*watches the water's surface ripple by a chilly night breeze, distorting the reflection of the waning moon*
*shivers slightly as the breeze reaches her*
*ignores the cold and continues to watch, noting how quiet it is this evening*
*turns her thoughts to those who are still in their daytime and those who are probably just starting to rise to start their day*
*vanishes to the real world where she needs to get her shower*
*is back*
It's so quiet today...
Then again- never mind..
*wanders around*
(Hi Tami :P how are you? omg I love how it feels with the satisfying click of a keyboard :D)
HI K. *hugs* You saved me from boredom. :P
And I know; just re experienced the feeling earlier today. How are you? :)
(*hugs* Ah damsel in distress :P I am glad I can save such a fair maiden lol,
yeh I'm kinda bored too if it isn't obvious hehe... I feel like I can actually type again :D I will still make mistakes but I love this more.)
(*realizes he didn't answer the question* I'm rather good :P I'm glad to be back home... Scottish air feels good in my lungs :P wbu how be you? )
*rolls her eyes and laughs*
I think Fera's rubbing off on you or something. XP
Honestly, I like the smaller keyboard of the iPod better. :P And there's autocorrect, but yeah, computer keyboards are nice to type on. :)
(*shakes head* nah I'm more me-ey :P which is 10% sense ans 100% crazy with a dash of hyper... My phone is the same size as my old one with a 5.5 inch screen but the keyboard doesnt reach the edge like the last one and I mistype a lot on it :(
I saved you from boredom making you a damsel in distress :P
I'm probably 5000% worse than fera I just know how to hide it)
Well, welcome home to you then. :P
I was a bit... In one of my many moods- till you showed up. Not only have you saved me from boredom, but also from talking to Scarlet(in a way, myself). That probably wouldn't have ended well. Heh. Anyway, I'm good now. ^.^
No wonder you two get along so well. :P
(yeh ! even better :D I'm glad I could help :P tbh I was pondering whether to comment or not till you came back
also thanks XD I'm glad you're good now...
yeh probably he is a good laugh... if a bit insensitive but hey I'm desensitized so I sometimes make bad jokes just not here lol
*realizes how much of the hyper keiron none of you have seen* )
I like this hyper you. *nods* Much more fun. :)
*nods*
Frank's jokes can get a little crazy, but he doesn't mean to upset people. He'll learn, I'm sure.
*nods again*
Hmm, aunt just turned off the lights... Msd, she might tell me to go to bed soon. Unless she falls asleep first.
( XDDDDD yeh! I love when people like me lol :P hehe oh ! yeh :( :P forgot how late it was that's okaii :D if you're going then goodnight *hugs*
yeh he'll do fine soon enough, tbh thats why I didnt talk for sooo long because I thought I'd be taken the wrong way alll the time :(, i did not wan tthat nop nop nop what ever would yall think >?< :P )
Yeah, not going yet. Unless I have to, but not tired yet, so.
Hmm... I'm not completely sure, but... It's a fifty fifty chance that they'd have accepted you anyway.
I don't think the Bloglandians of my generation would have cared so much, but I've forgotten some things, which is why I say fifty fifty.
(I have had lots o' time to reflect as a person now, I think I am a decent enough human being.... I've met worse people than me sooo :P whatever lol I don't care I am moi
that's good *kinda hopes you aren't forced to * I like how I answer things in such a weird way, my mind just jumps about wherever it wants to at any point answering things that no one asked :P
I thinkk they would have been cool with me tbh, most of the time I tone it down but meet me in person then omg :P
)
Seems like my aunt's asleep. That means I'll be here till I start feeling tired/gets too late. :)
(yeh ! *relived sighs* I'm glad :P you're fun to talk to :P )
I think I'm like that in person too. (On a lesser scale XP)
I can just talk on and on about random things, but typing here kinda filters my thoughts and helps me think before I speak.
(my friend calls me a thing... but as a compliment because she calls people, people if they annoy her lol that means I don't annoy someone *shocked face :P*)
Thanks. :) Glad you think so.
But I'm horrible at starting conversations. XD
:P You don't annoy me either.
Trust me, if I found someone annoying, you'd definitely know. XP
(I start random converstaions then go off on weird tangents :P I think I'm like one of those people star was talking about b4 where they don't know what it's like to not have someone talking because they always are :P but I do know because I do stop sometimes :P
I also realise that if I talk to basically anyone outside scotland I need to talk like I'm talking to a kid because I talk tooo fast :P apparently :P lol funny thing is I want even trying to talk fast :( hehe but when I replied to him he just looked at me like wtf language was that.... hehe )
(yehhh! omg :P two people :D whoop whoop ... thats the sound of the police )
XD
Talking too fast. That's basically me to Japanese people. I have to talk, like, two times slower and repeat my words to make sure they understand what I mean. :P
And if I talk straight English(because /some/ people are actually really fluent), others look to that person and go "You can understand all that? O.O WOOOOOW*" XD
*actually, they'd say the Japanese equivalent which is sugoi. :P
Hmm, if I have to go, it would be because:
1, it's getting too late;
2, I'm getting tired;
3, battery's getting low and I left the charger in another room. -_-
Or 4, two or all of the above. :P
I /am/ getting a little tired now, but if we're the only ones on at the moment, I don't want to leave you by yourself. ^.^
(you can leave me it's fine :P sugoi kawaii :P
Watashinonamaeha watashi wa ikutsu ka no Nihon no rikai... Keirondesu :P - yes that was in translate but that's just because I can't spell it to save myself....
)
*waves at El*
(yeh el under conductor ... )
(and I will.... not started typing yet tbh been too busy catching up on life will most likely bee later on :P I will give you credit :P )
(sorry tami *hugs* I neeeded the toilet that's why I disappeared .... *hugs* go to sleep :P :D )
*is not fluent in Japanese*
*doesn't understand some of the words, unless the spelling is different than how she hears it*
Something I /do/ know though, is
Watashi no namaeWA(Pronunciation wise)
Men can also use the term boku, women can use atashi, and watashi means I to everyone in general. :P
In a minute, K. :P
*hugs back*
I can actually understand a lot by listening, but speaking and writing is hard. :P
(harry potter bridge :P --------->
awww ok :P yeh listening is wayyy easier, speaking I have some trouble with like using the wrong tense or saying the verb first etc i dunno it's all weird : P I just saiid Hi I understand some Japanese basically .... )
Okay. Gonna sleep now.
*hugs K and El*
Have a good day guys! :)
(*husg tami* goodnight :P
"but for now let /her/ sleep, for in dreams we enter a world that's entirely our own. Let /her/ swim in the deepest ocean, or climb over the highest cloud."
HARRY POTTER BRIDGE. O.
I think the best way to make that sentence is
Watashi no namaewa/ha(depends on which Japanese character is used for spelling) Keiron desu. Watashi no ikutsu ka no nihon no rikai...(not sure what this part would actually mean, so you may have to change it a little, depending).
OKAY. /NOW/ GOING TO SLEEP. GOOD NIGHT. XP
*O.O

why what?)
Well.
That was my third favourite exam so far.
My second favourite being the first RS exam (I love that our school takes compulsory GCSE RS. You have one lesson a week where you do nothing for two years, and then you go into an exam without even having to revise and get As with no effort. It's a free GCSE. It's wonderful. <3), and my first favourite being the non-calculator maths paper (<3 that was so fun).
I went in feeling so prepared and then it was so easy. And I actually managed to finish (wrote the last word as we were told to stop), which was really great because the past few science exams I haven't been able to.
Cat felt the same, so assuming we represent the year group as a whole, the grade boundaries'll probably be high (as opposed to the first physics exam, which, according to my judgements of things, was the hardest exam we've had and everyone failed), but like . . . still. :P
Also, whilst I was in the middle of the exam, I had an epiphany, and I was just sat there like "OOOH," and then I was like, "Wait, WHY are you thinking about this during the middle of your physics exam and HOW??" because I have a really one-track brain. XD
And y'know, my epiphany -
I was sat there thinking about The Fault In Our Stars, or more specifically Catherine's views on The Fault In Our Stars (this is what I mean, you see, WHY THE FUCK WAS I THINKING ABOUT THIS DURING MY EXAM AND HOW), and you know Catherine really like gender stereotypes? Yeah. Well, you know that moment in The Fault In Our Stars when Augustus was trying to buy that pack of cigarettes? If you know the book, you'll know what I'm talking about, but if you haven't read it, he was portrayed as being very weak in that moment, and Cat just couldn't read it. Or watch it. It just - it made her cringe so much adn she couldn't deal with it because she couldn't stand men being portrayed as that weak due to her internalised gender stereotypes.
And it struck me that that is EXACTLY how I feel except from the opposite direction - I HATE gender stereotypes. Like when Conductor mentioned damsels in distress up tehre, it made me very angry, and when Fera was talking about "Oh when you have a fiancé and kids" it made me want to punch something and it does right now tbh.
And the other day, when Catherine proved me right about men being stronger than women in relationships (if you haven't heard about that, I can explain it to you if you want, but basically, the long and short of it is, I couldn't stand to admit that gender stereotypes might actually exist because I just hate them), I realised that my hatred of gender stereotypes was actually interfering with my worldview a bit. And I mean, if I think people are harmfully stereotyping, I'll probably call them out on it, but like, hafl the time, the problem isn't with them. It was with me. And the same's true with Cat, but from the other direction.
And me and her were talking about this after the exam because I brought it up, and we'd both realised that we had issues here and we both realised the issue wasn't with the world, it was with us, and we were both trying to get rid of our issues and stand stuff that irritated us because we didn't want it interfering with our worldview. And we discussed how we'd both not had this issue when we were littler (I had internalised gender stereotypes when I was little; she wrote stories where males cried that really made her wince when she looked back on them and so she had to change them when she got older to make it so she could accept them :P), and that it had somehow developed as we'd got older, which was really interesting.
SO yeah. Me and Catherine are basically like identical on this aspect except we're coming at it from different ends. XD Rather interesting.
. . . Taia?
(hi star... still reading that :P)
@Conductor: XD Sorry.
(hehe I'm glad you liked the exam .... -weird-
*cough*evenifyouaresimilaripreferyoubecauseyousoundawesumerdealwithit:P*cough*
)
(((*hugs back* Yeah, I'm okay, but thank you for asking.
I read back.
Or, I read back as much as I could bring myself to. Don't know what happened after a certain point.
I'm okay, but that very much wasn't.)))
(((So, not about me, but thank you for caring nonetheless)))
@Conductor: :P
Yeah. Well. I didn't exactly LIKE the physics exam, it just went okay. But I LIKED the maths one. And the RS one. :O
:P Thanks.
I like us both equally.
(Ah!... ok... *hugs again* it'll be okay... )
@Conductor: . . . ?
(it was towards taia :/
@star: I hated all my exams tbh...)
@Conductor: Right. :)
Yeah . . . I think that's normal. :)
(well Graphics was decent I suppose but I like drawing... I kinda wanted to have the kind of art exam where you are there for 6 hours and given something to draw instead of a final piece .... I hated learning about the artists then doing the essay even though I got an A)
:o
For my GCSE art exam we got to just make art for five hours straight on a Friday and then another five hours straight on the next Wednesday.
Bliss.
I just hate essays. :/
(Hello.)
(Yeh I think all England gets that tbh ... but stupid Scotland makes you write an esssay about 2 people... and also have a final piece that you send away :( )
@Conductor: Essays on artists?
*shudders*
Horrible. :/
Hi Sophia. :)
(First of all - That was bad timing on my part.
Secondly - I just remembered the roleplay.)
Ember: Have I done something wrong?
Claire: *she grins, her eyes glowing white, forcing the brake down slightly on the pickup as she overtakes it, before letting it go again*
Lily: What is it?
(an alive artist and a designer and then one of each dead... and you need to know their life story ... what they made why they made it, how it was made and what inspired them to make it.)
@Conductor: -_- Nope. We don't have to do any of that s.
I'm intensely glad.
(hi soph ... thanks for saving me there :P... )
(*crys* it saddens me really, I wish I could just draw for the exam :/)
@Conductor: Ehhhh I was rolling bits of coloured paper as opposed to drawing. But yeah. Love drawing. <3
Now, wbd. Got a wonderful Further Maths question.
Onwa: No. Not that we know of. Other than nearly giving us concussion.
Hey!!!
*laughs, using a portal to jump ahead again, staying directly in front of Claire so she can't overtake*
Manuel: I.. would like for us to just be friend?
Ember: Sorry. I didn't know you were there. What is it that you want?
Claire: *she sticks a finger up out of the window, her eyes glowing white again and the pickup lifts high enough into the air for the Lamborghini to pass underneath it before it is lowered to the road again*
Bethany: ... Please, stop... I'm scared and I feel ill...
Lily: Sure, that's okay... The kiss was kind of a "thank you" kiss rather than a romantic kiss anyway.
Onwa: We wished to inform you of something.
Wow.. road rage girl..
*glances at Beth*
Right. Sure. Sorry.
*slows down and drives properly*
Manuel: *nods* Okay.
(((*wrote replies @Star's comment on prev. page, and @the general art exam things, but it was long and badly coordinated, and then I just ended up using the art thing as a vent, because I got my GCSE coursework back this week and abhorrence and I really don't want to rant*
*not ignoring people, just trying not to longcomment & grump :P*
*still not sure if I'm here or not, tbh*
*sorry*)))
((( On another note, we successfully got distracted in physics and spent half an hour spontaneously talking quantum mechanics and how if you place an object next to a wall, it's entirely possible for it to suddenly and randomly appear on the other side of the wall; and so by extension, if you walk into a wall - there's a probability, physically, that you could go straight through it.
Which is so COOL and you can lean against a wall and think that you could (though veeeeeerrrry unlikely) materialize inside it or just straight up teleport to the other side of the room and, except for that materializing inside a wall would /probably/ kill you, that's kind of amazing to think about.)))
Ember: What has happened?
Liliana: We are engaged.
Ember: Marriage engaged? I didn't think you two would be the type.
Bethany: Sorry... I could fly if you want so you can do what you like... I don't mean to be controlling or fussy... It's just this is my second or third time in a car and I don't trust them yet because they look scary and they make me feel a little ill... And that's without going really fast and shaking about everywhere...
Claire: *she slows down to normal speed, also*
Lily: It's fine, though. Are we still going to travel?
@Taia: :) That does sound cool. :) :)
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
Why not?
It's fine. I'll drive responsibly.
*smiles at her briefly, eyes on the road*
Manuel: If you wish.
(Taia, it would also be possible for the wall to spontaneously transform into some milk or practically anything. Quantum mechanics is rather strange. Unlikely, but theoretically possible.)
@Star: :) :) :)
@Sophia: IT'S SO COOL :)
I mean, yeah, the odds are astronomical O_O
but
:)
Alright. Trying to WhatsApp, talk here, listen to music and do Further Maths.
It's already stressing me out. :/
Ember: You seem like the kind of people who have commitment issues. Still, congratulations.
Bethany: *she cuddles against her* Thank you... Sorry... I really am inconvenient.
Lily: What do you want?
I love further maths. <3
(Taia - Indeed. I do quite like quantum mechanics. It is one of the more interesting parts of physics, second to only theoretical physics as an umbrella term.)
*hugs Star*
Maybe tRy to tone it down?
And- Good :) :) :)
@Sophia: :) :)
I don't think we get to cover any quantum physics in the A-level, but I'm pretty sure there's some theoretical in there. :)
@Taia: Only way I can do that is if I stop talking to you. -_-
(Taia - Around half of physics is theoretical. No doubt you will have done some.)
(Sorry. Chinese food turned up and begged to be devoured. Back now.)
Onwa: Mm. Thank you.
*smiles*
Its fine Beth. I don't mind.
Manuel: *tilts head*
I.. am not sure.
Ember: Am I invented?
Bethany: Are you sure?
Lily: *she smiles* It's fine. I'll go alone. I'm not going anywhere dangerous I don't think, so...
Onwa: Of course you are. That's why we're telling you about it.
*realizes she's getting angry*
*calms herself down slightly*
Yep.
Manuel: It wouldn't be right to leave a woman unescorted..
(Sorry. Semi-fell asleep.
@Star: As much as I like you here, if that helps you...?
Idk.
Maybe you could alternate? ^^
@Sophia: *would have thought more than that?* But I think I meant, they tend to stick to the more experimental aspects..? idk.)
@Taia: :) It's okay, stuff calmed down on WhatsApp.
(Okay, I was registering with Channel Four, and I was going down the list and they were saying what they needed each bit of info for. Name to address me, email to contact me, date of birth so they could filter inappropriate content if needed. And then I got to gender and I was like 'wtf why do you need to know that' and they were like "This infprmation helps us maintain a wide range of content and services" and I'm just like "What kind of excuse is that? -_-")
(Taia - Apologies. I was talking what you actually learn about, rather than in general.)
Liliana: *she squeezes Onwa's hand*
Ember: Let me know when it is, yes?
Bethany: Thank you... Could I open the door for fresh air?
Lily: It is fine. I promise. I could write to you? Like write a letter and send it to your house?
Onwa: *squeezes her hand back*
Of course.
Open the window? One sec..
*glances at the console and uses the button to lower Beth's window*
Manuel: *nods* That could work.
Ember: I will be going. I have a Minerve to annoy. *she vanishes in a flash of fire*
Liliana: Are you alright?
Bethany: Wow, okay. *she smiles, moving her head close to the window, looking out*
Lily: I'll take you home, then I'll leave, and you can make sure the money goes to the charities?
Onwa: I am.
Careful. Don't stick your head too far out.
Manuel: You don't have to take me back.
Liliana: Were you getting angry?
Bethany: Why not?
Lily: I'm going to. That is, if you're done here?
Onwa: Somewhat.
You might get hurt.
Manuel: I am done, yes.
Liliana: Why?
Bethany: ... Okay. *she moves a little away from the window*
Lily: Then I can take you home. *she smiles*
Fair enough, Star. :)
And-- Yeah. :/
Possibly to know what they should recommend to you, by order of the stereotypes, and knowing the proportions of different genders in their target audience, that kind of thing?
That tends to get on my nerves a little, too. -.-
@Sophia: No need to apologise? :)
(It was I who did not clarify, Taia. Although it is hardly an important matter, it still led to a misunderstanding.)
Onwa: I am not sure..
Good girl.
*smiles at her*
Manuel: You really do not have to do that.
Liliana: *she grins* Were you getting protective?
Bethany: Thanks. *she smiles, cuddling against her*
Lily: I know. But I brought you here, so I'm going to take you back. Because it's fair? So would you like to go?
Onwa: Protective? Ember isn't a threat. She's a bug in comparison to you or I.
*smiles and kisses her cheek*
Manuel: Of course.
Liliana: She is just as powerful as I, Onwa.
Bethany: How long will it be to go to... Germany?
Lily: *she smiles, standing up*
@Taia: Ugh. Gender stereotypes.
(Gender stereotypes rather irritate me.)
Onwa: Hmm
Too long. I swear portal is so much quicker
Manuel: *takes her hand*
((I believe I mentioned my thoguhts on them earlier.))
Liliana: Hmm?
Bethany: Claire just wants to test out the scary car, right?
Lily: *she squeezes his hand, smiling, heading to the exit*
hey people ^_^
Onwa: I don't like that.
At the moment yes.
Manuel: *walks with her*
(Hello, Fera.)
Liliana: Why not?
Bethany: Okay... Do different cars feel different or something?
Lily: *she exits the library with him* Okay... We need to get somewhere people won't see me flying.
(Hey Fera.)
Onwa: it makes protecting you harder.
To some extent yes.
Manuel: Hmm.. the park?
hey, how're you? :) btw, i've got an announcement to make, but i am waiting for more people to come on the blog ^_^
Hey Fera. :)
hey star, how're you? :)
Liliana: Why?
Bethany: So why does she have to test it? Is it going to explode?
Lily: Maybe the place that I landed?
:) Alright, thanks, Fera. Watching SHIELD. Doing further maths in the breaks.
How're you? :)
Onwa: They could turn against you
No.
*smiles*
She just wants to get used to it.
Manuel: That would also work.
staR: I am fine thank you very much :) should i do the announcement now, i wonder ^_^
Liliana: Hardly. I do trust them.
Bethany: Okay... I love you, Silente.
Lily: *she smiles, walking with him down the alley that she landed in* *she touches the sigil, revealing her wings, stretching them out*
Onwa: Mm.
I love you too Beth.
*smiles*
Manuel: *carefully steps closer*
(hey fera :P yuss announce :P )
@Fera: :) Do what you want. :)
Liliana: It will be fine, do not worry. There is always Berengaria.
Bethany: Even though I'm a pain sometimes.
Lily: *she holds him, before flapping her wings, flying upwards*
Onwa: I suppose so..
My pain. My amazing pain.
Manuel: *wraps his arms round her for safety*
Liliana: It will be fine, my love. Would you like to return home?
Bethany: So I am inconvenient?
Lily: *she levels out, starting to fly towards his house*
con: hey ^_^ :)
ok, well LISTEN UP PEOPLE: I AM GONNA GET ONE OF MY FRIENDS TO BE PART OF THE BLOG. HE ALREADY SAID YES. SO YES :D
Onwa: Yes please.
No! *rolls eyes* Beth, I love you. You're my wife, not an inconvenience.
Manuel: *blinks*
@Fera: OOH COOL. :)
star: yeah in a bit, like in the next hour or 2 hours i think :)
@Fera: Cool. :)

@Fera: Aw. :( Could be worse, I guess. :)
@Conductor: Sounds good. O_O
My allergy meds tend to work halfway, too?
Can't walk up the road without ending up with tears going down my face in any case.
But the general 'my entire face itches' thing, is helped a lot, so... :P
