Germany Dates

The writing of Desolation is coming along, slowly but surely... This six month schedule thing is a killer, and unfortunately the first casualty of that is the blog. The second casualty is Twitter. The third casualty is, I dunno... probably my sanity.

But ho! Being the professional that I am, I still have time to travel to Germany and meet YOU, my wonderful minions!

15th October, 7 PM: Burg Lichtspiele, in Ginsheim-Gustavsburg

Talk and signing.

16th October, 5 PM: Lierature cafe, Ettlingen

Talk and signing.

17th October, 1:30 PM: Frankfurt Book Fair

Talk and signing.

5 — 8:30 PM: The Midnight Hotel.


The Midnight Hotel is a fan event where I'll be chatting and signing, and there'll be a quiz and a fancy dress competition and, like, stuff happening... It's gonna be awesome.

Swirl: I think the ropes are stable enough?

Inky Flame said...

I shall try ^clicks metallic fingers and grasps the robe*
*mechanically puts legs into tree and attempts to walk*
*doesnt actually go anywhere*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: You have to put your next foot higher up, on the next wooden bit of the ladder. Move slowly, the ropes at the sides allow the ladder to twist and move.

Inky Flame said...

I see ^slowly but surely makes his way up the ladder*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -smiles- -keeps blowing bubbles for Aquila to hunt-

Inky Flame said...

*reaches top* huh, I was created in 1896 like the other robots but I've never clued a tree since niw

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Do you like the view?

Chione Asahina said...

Hey guys

Inky Flame said...

I guess...

((Hey Gemma!
How art thou?))

Chione Asahina said...

(Was job searching today with Keiron. Handed out all 20 copies and will apply online too)

Chione Asahina said...

Cause i got told i was fired, yesterday.

Inky Flame said...

((Ah that's too bad... Good luck with finding another job!))

Aquila Felis said...

(Hi Gemma, I'm sure you two will find something if you keep looking. :) )

Swirl: -whispers- It's not JUST for fun, I'm training her so she'll fly better.

Inky Flame said...

Fly?

Inky Flame said...

((*sings/ screeches I'm not okay by my chemical romance*))

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -flies past, still eagle, popping several bubbles with beak and wings-

Swirl: Fly. -nods-

Inky Flame said...

I see. Hmmm.. I wonder if I can be programmed to fly

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I guess it depends on your hardware?

Inky Flame said...

It does... I'll check with master

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Sounds good. ^^ I know mine didn't give me the ability to fly. -glares down at me-

Me: -smiles at her and waves-

Inky Flame said...

Spine: I was made to fight against a robotic elephant. Once the war was over, my master programmed me and my co-robots to be musicians

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I'm meant to work with Aquila, but she's still in training.

Aquila: -lands and shakes her feathers, spraying soapy water around-

Swirl: -frowns- ... slippery stuff on a treehouse platform? Really?

Aquila: -looks slightly guilty-

Inky Flame said...

Hello Aquila *tilts hat*

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -flaps her wings-

Inky Flame said...

Pleasure to meet you *adhusts tie*

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -changes to human- I'll clean it, don't worry. ^^ -goes through the door to go through the other door to get a towel-

-returns to wipe the floor with a towel-

Swirl: ...

Inky Flame said...

That is a trick that kids these days would call 'neat'

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: I'm a shapeshifter. ^^

Swirl: ... that wipes floors with towels.

Aquila: Don't worry, I took Jojo's, not yours.

Me: -from below- Hey!

Aquila: -grins-

Inky Flame said...

*looks down€ hello down there!

Aquila Felis said...

Me: Hello up there!

Aquila: -goes to put towel away-

Swirl: Is your master nice?

Inky Flame said...

He is... Insane
But he is a good master

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(In the next few weeks I may have another character available to roleplay with. She is already created, in effect, but I wish for something to happen in my writing before I roleplay with her.)

Inky Flame said...

((Hello Soph !
Cool ^.^ how have you been?))

Aquila Felis said...

(Hello Sophia.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I have not exactly been alright, but I am feeling somewhat better now. How are you?)

Inky Flame said...

((I am good *.^ remember my email is always open if you want to speak))

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Insane? How?

Inky Flame said...

Why, he created rabbit
That is reason enough

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I guess that makes Jojo insane, too.

Me: Hey! Don't make me climb up there!

Swirl: You made the balls.

Me: ... fair point.

Inky Flame said...

The balls?

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -calls back into the hut- Aquila, could you bring one of the balls out?

Aquila: Do I haaaave to?

Swirl: Say, Spine, are you alive by magic?

Inky Flame said...

No, my programming is that advance that it keeps me alive. I am not magic

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Oh, good. ^^ Yep Aquila, you have to. :P

Aquila: -walks out a moment after, a purring and slightly glowing ball in her arms-

Inky Flame said...

What is that ?

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: A little magic-vampire-monster. ... and it's kinda cute. -the ball is growing-

Inky Flame said...

That's weird...

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: Yes, and I have to put it back now or it will part into two. ^^ -goes to put it back-

Swirl: They are better than handcuffs, cause cuter and you can leave them in the cell. ^^

Inky Flame said...

Interesting *watches aquila*

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -walks through a second door that leads to a place that shouldn't be there-
-walks out of view, and stays out of view a bit before returning and closing the second door behind her-

Swirl: So, what do you do all day as a musician?

Inky Flame said...

Me, rabbit and hatchworth just go around and play
If we aren't doing that, we are in the Walter mansion

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: To write songs and practice?

Inky Flame said...

Serving the Walter family

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: You're a butler?

Inky Flame said...

If sorts

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... would you like to be our pocket butler?

Aquila: -arches eyebrow-

Inky Flame said...

Pocket butler?

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I could shrink you! :D

(Will be gone for a bit, I'm HUNGRY. ^^)

Inky Flame said...

I wouldn't appreciate that

(Awwwwkay ^.^ I hope you are successful in your hunt for food!)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Aquila Felis said...

((You didn't play some multiplayer online game, did you? A friend of mine gets sore lips from doing that. Due to biting on them. >.>))

Inky Flame said...

((Nah, I was speaking to jack XD))

Feraaaa32 said...

*wants the next ded* *nods*

Aquila Felis said...

((Hmmmm.. doubt that's the cause, then, speaking to him shouldn't cause that amount of tension. XD

... at least not of that kind of tension.
... wait, how old are you again?
Forget what I said.. >.>))

Inky Flame said...

((Hehehe it doesn't XD

Not that kind XD

I'm seventeen
He's fifteen XD))

Aquila Felis said...

((Oh, good, old enough I don't have to feel THAT bad for that joke. :P))

Inky Flame said...

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila Felis said...

(-hugs K back- Sounds good. ^^)

Inky Flame said...

Dragona Pine said...

*wonders who decided that dinosaurs + Nazis = the makings of a good film*

Anonymous said...

( :) yeh this is quite late for uou to be on ....


sorry for any spelling mistakes I got a new keyboard and I also had a few drinks soooo ::P)

Feraaaa32 said...

i am alright i suppose.

Inky Flame said...

((Me and jack are having a deep talk so I want to stay awake a bit longer))

Star Inkbright said...

Must have thought "films about Nazis are popular - films about dinosaurs are popular - popular + popular = lots of popular!!!"

:P Maths really doesn't work on non-mathemetical concepts.

@Keiron: :) :) :) :) :) :)
I am fine. :)

Dragona Pine said...

Films about Nazis are popular? :P Maybe 60 years ago... I suppose there WAS Outpost but that's like Nazi zombie ghost things not actual Nazis. XD
Films about dinosaurs are totally popular though. :P
But the film is called Iron Sky not Jurassic Park, so I don't think it'll be popular XD

Anonymous said...

( ahhh, ohhh #coool :P tell him I say hi :P *hugs*

Hi Star :D thats good

good Fera :D :P skype me update plez :P

Voldomort : nazis+dinos+zombies =awesome)

Inky Flame said...

((I am off to bed now
Nos da))

Dragona Pine said...

And I think Hellboy had that Nazi ninja assassin robot cyborg surgically altered person. But Hellboy isn't really a Nazi film XD
If that guy wasn't a Nazi and wasn't so creepy he'd have been really cool 0_0
Like
He can spin his swords.
Anyone who can do that gets awesome points.

Dragona Pine said...

I have a scale of awesome points.

Things like being a Nazi and being addicted to surgery decreases awesome points.

Things like wearing a helmet and being able to spin swords and y'know generally being a cyborg assassin adds awesome points. :)

BUT I think that guy is still on negative awesome points.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: I mean, there's a lot of them. Lot sof money has been got out of it.

@Keiron: :P

:) Nos da, Chloe.

Star Inkbright said...

*nods at Dragona*
I give awesome points for awesome coats. :P
I like watching people with cool coats.
. . .
Alright that sounds creepy. *frowns*

Dragona Pine said...

Eh true. :P


I GIVE AWESOME POINTS FOR COOL COATS TOO THAT GUY DOES HAVE A COOL COAT I THINK. WAIT. YEP. COOL COAT.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2f/Hellboy_Shot_1.jpg

Still not enough to get him away from negative awesome points though XD

Star Inkbright said...

I think that is a cool coat. :) :) :)

Seriously, if the character has a cool coat I just spent the whole film admiring their coat. :P

Star Inkbright said...

*spend

Chione Asahina said...

Hey guys :)

Feraaaa32 said...

hi gem.

Chione Asahina said...

Hey Frank hows you?

Aquila Felis said...

Hi Gemma. ^^

Feraaaa32 said...

not well.

Dragona Pine said...

Eh I think he only wears it once though. That's his "I am a Nazi ninja assassin cyborg" coat not "I am just a ninja assassin cyborg" coat. He doesn't even have a coat like that I think he goes coatless for the rest of the film.

On my scale of awesome coats are worth the same as awesome helmets XD *likes helmets too* *thinks helmets are great* Like not cycle helmets like idk awesome helmet.
I remember when I used to play Battlefield 3 I used to pick the Engineer Class all the time because they wore a gas mask and I thought that was so damn awesome XD It was only the Russian Engineer which had a gas mask though so it was the only awesome one the Americna Engineer was stupid.

OH GOSH I HAVE CHARACTERS.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: ???

Dragona Pine said...

SORRY JUST LOOKED AT MY BLOG AND STARTED LIKING MY OLDER CHARACTERS AGAIN XD

Aquila Felis said...

Yes Dragona, you damn well do!
... but you got rid of most of them. >.>

Aquila Felis said...

FINALLY!
What were you THINKING?
-grumbles-

"There’s no such thing as winning or losing. There is won and there is lost, there is victory and defeat. There are absolutes. Everything in between is still left to fight for. "

Aquila Felis said...

-likes the quote-

Dragona Pine said...

Yeah I got rid of about 40... Still have Hawk, Cabader, Emit Sargo, Lauren Darkness, Spongeball Roundpants and Unit 10 and 13. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...


"Every solution to every problem is simple. It's the distance between the two where the mystery lies."

Aquila Felis said...

I miss Lauren and Emit. -nods-

... Cabader is slightly creepy. >.>
Hawk wasn't a good guy, either.

And my balls are kiiinda inspired by Songeball. XD

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...


"Her parents wanted her to find her own way in life. That’s what they’d said countless times in the past. Of course, they’d been referring to school subjects and college applications and job prospects. Presumably, at no stage did they factor living skeletons and magic underworlds into their considerations. If they had, their advice would probably have been very different."

Aquila Felis said...

Hi Kas! ^^

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...


"You can only anticipate what someone is going to do if you know exactly what that someone has just done."

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...


"The world is bigger than you know, and scarier than you might imagine. The only currency worth anything is being true to yourself, and the only goal worth seeking is finding out who you truly are."

Aquila Felis said...

I can quote, too.

“According to some, heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, no matter how cool, stylish, composed, unflappable, manly, or defiant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking.”

;)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

How are you? And how is Quotes?

Star Inkbright said...

*appreciates the quotes :)*

Star Inkbright said...

:) Hey, Kas.

"Tides do what tides do - they turn."

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...


"She started reading. She didn’t mean to spend long at it, but soon she was devouring every word, oblivious to the creaking old home and the rain outside."

John said...

I hath returned.

Aquila Felis said...

I'm fine, thanks. How about you?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

"Hyperion hopes your death was a learning experience, but wouldn't mind if you made the same mistake just a few more times just to be sure."

Aquila Felis said...

Hello again, Blake. ^^

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Starryeyes and John! How are you?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I'm good. Finished season 3 of Orphan Black. I've no idea why I like that series :|

Dragona Pine said...

Oh oh oh right should explain things for people who don't know my characters.

Okay.

Hawk is Dragona's brother. They don't like each other. Hawk is an assassin who can move really really really fast and any moments (y'know other than speaking) he makes are silent so he's quite creepy.

Lauren Darkness was a woman with a crazy split personality disorder in the daytime she was like the nicest person you can imagine but on a night she turns into a crazed necromancer vigilante who is like really powerful.

Emit Sargo is a time traveller.

Cabader is basically a spirit in a suit so can't really be killed but he can't do anything magical but control fire. His suit is partly robotic though so machine guns yay. Actually that machine gun was once his head but you know.

Unit 13 and 10 are squads of soldiers employed by the Sanctuaries to y'know do soldier-y things. Unit 13 are all Elementals (but not very strong ones). Unit 10 can interface with electronic objects and they fly jets.

I also have Grindor Blackout who can make portals. He's also rich.

Then there's Spongeball Roundpants <3 Someone said I should make a character who can't kill someone. So I made a 50 gazillion year old mythic red spongeball who just floats around not doing much because y'know it's like just a spongeball it isn't really sentient but it DOES have magic but y'know it doesn't do anything because it's a spongeball even though it's older than the universe itself XD

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Dragona. How are you?

Aquila Felis said...

If I recall it right, Emit was quite witty. ^^

Dragona Pine said...

I'm good. :) Considering RPing XD You???

Feraaaa32 said...

*wondering shit* *spitting shit*

Aquila Felis said...

-hands Frank a bucket-

Dragona Pine said...

I also had a non human species called the Apatonynchus. There was also two organisations the SOS who were mortal soldiers taking care of magical things like covering it up and stuff and then there was the order of the basilisk who were creepy mind manipulators who manipulated everything with information secretly.

Feraaaa32 said...

*takes bucket* *fills it with swear words*

Dragona Pine said...

I thought you were supposed to put money in a jar when you swear not put swears into a bucket when you money?????????? :P

Dragona Pine said...

Money is totally a verb now.

Feraaaa32 said...

i'll hopefully get money then, lol. *shouts more swear words*

John said...

Hellu, I'm doing good Kas, you?

*Waves to Aquila*

Hey Dragona, long time.

Dragona Pine said...

It means "to buy things with oneself".

Wait tbat sounds like prostitution.

Er.


It means "to act like money".

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Blake. :)

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -waves back from the treehouse- I popped bubbles!

Swirl: I made bubbles! :D

John said...

And now I must go because J's parents brought pizza.

*Is dragged out of Blogland as his author rushes downstairs*

Feraaaa32 said...

hi blake.

John said...

*Pops a few bubbles on his way out*

John said...

Oh, hi Fera.

*Actually really has to go now cause his author is literally halfway out the door, barely managing to type this*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I knew he'd like popping bubbles. -nods gravely-

(Yay for pizza. ^^)

Dragona Pine said...

Oh gosh I used to have a character called Darren Blake who was a detective. I made my writing go all posh when I was writing about him especially XD Took a lot of effort because I'm not posh!!!

There was also Unit 4 who was part of the SOS and he was adorable. He couldn't speak because a sorcerer took away his ability to talk so he was just quiet all the time until someone gave him the ability to speak telepathically. I THINK he survived zombies and shadow creatures. Think nearly everyone else died though.

Aquila Felis said...

-remembers something like that about Unit 4, too-

You are so not posh you think I would be. XD

Feraaaa32 said...

ok, have fun eating.

Dragona Pine said...

I wonder why Kalia got annoyed at Spongeball Roundpants. I mean it's just a cute little red spongeball which is like infinitely old so how can you not like it? :P

Aquila Felis said...

She got angry at it because you didn't take her seriously when she asked you to make a non-killing character. ^^

I'm fairly sure she expected a HUMAN.

Dragona Pine said...

But humans can kill! There's a crime called Manslaughter for a reason other than murderers trying to get a better deal you know. :P But I don't think there's ever been a recorded death by a spongeball. Especially one which can't be thrown because it just floats. So yeah ha.

John said...

Well, not being taken seriously is pretty infuriating.

Dragona Pine said...

Yeah but I'm actually PROUD of the character. :P

Feraaaa32 said...

why is everything so fucking complicated. if complex was a person, i would so beat it up.

Aquila Felis said...

Complex should be a pinhata.

John said...

Because if everything was simple it would be no fun. Though there are certain things I wish were a lot simple-er.

John said...

Also J is back from eating pizza, fat bastard.

(Dude I'm thin as a pole.)

That's not the point.

Feraaaa32 said...

heh. or maybe rejection...yeah if rejection was a person, i'd consider hurting it really, really bad.

Aquila Felis said...

I still think pizza deserves a yay. ^^

Swirl: -blows a new cloud of bubbles-

Aquila: -changes to eagle and does her best to flap them to Blake with her wings-

Me: ... they are totally attempting to make you glitter by bubbles...

Dragona Pine said...

Because if everything was simple, a bit like Heat magazine, it'd make humans stupid because they wouldn't have to use their brains. You either use it or you lose it. :)

John said...

*Shadows pop each bubble with lightning speed*

John said...

(Oh for the love of...

I dedicate to the deliciousness of pizza.)

Feraaaa32 said...

hear hear

Aquila Felis said...

Hear hear. ^^

Swirl: Awww...

Aquila: -decides to sit on his head-

Dragona Pine said...

Pepperoni fire

Dragona Pine said...

*ftw

John said...

*Pokes Aquila-bird*

Is this payback for earlier or something?
