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.

- Aquila-EAGLE looks quite happy with her new seat-

Dragona Pine said...

It twas only yesterday when I pondered precariously about pepperoni in a pie. "Will it work?" I wondered. I haven't heeded the hypothesis yet. :D

Feraaaa32 said...

*is eating races chocolates* I am gonna get fat if i keep eating them...meh who cares.

Aquila Felis said...

I can eat half a kilo of chocolate in a day without turning spherical, so I'm sure you'll be fine. ^^

Feraaaa32 said...

dunno, my metabolic rates are probably not as good as oyurs.

Dragona Pine said...

How I Met Your Mother makes me sad. Idk why. Probably because I know it doesn't turn out well. XD

John said...

*Shakes his head*

Swirl, make it so that I can sit on her head in revenge!

(That doesn't make any-)

Shush person who controls my life!

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... you turned pink last time I did that while happy. ^^

John said...

*Stops*
*Thinks*
Hmm....
Just be careful.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

My oh my
I get the feeling I might
Start to cry
Really makes me wonder
Why oh why
Does the toaster ruin my toast?
(Ask the host!)
No, no, no NO!
[Ba dum dum dum]
On both sides, it should be gold
[Ba dum dum dum]
A superb sight to behold
[Ba dum dum]
It must fit in the mold
That society makes
The standard I have for my toooaaast!
[Cymbal crash]
[Music quiets]
[Seething whisper]
It's the most
Angering thing
A truly angering thing.
[Escalates]
Either lukewarm or burnt or perfect but just one si-i-ide
[Cymbal crash]
Perfect toast
Should be a thing of pride
For the host
It shouldn't make me want to wail
Like a ghost
Because it's simply less than par
[Escalates]
Why, oh why, oh WHY?
[Music drops off to let the voice have this line]
Does the toaster ruin my to-oh-oh-OAST
[Ba da da]

Feraaaa32 said...

hi, refuse.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... not sure being careful is to do with it, but oh well... -shrinks Blake- -forgot to tell him to take Aquila off his head- -Aquila barely manages not to squish him-

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

hi.

Feraaaa32 said...

sup

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

clouds.

John said...

*Scrambles out from under Aquila-eagle and jumps up on to her head*

HAH!

Feraaaa32 said...

and space i am guessing, and the atmosphere.

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -changes to cat, strokes you off her head with a paw and pins you down- -sniffs on you-

John said...

*Quickly stops laughing*

Nice kitty...

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -tilts head-

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -licks tiny Blake- -decides he's probably not food-

John said...

*Sinks into his shadow, popping back up behind Swirl.
...
Behind Swirl's foot*)

Feraaaa32 said...

maybe intellectual stuff will make me forget about stuff...

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Did you eat him? 0o

Aquila: Meeew...

John said...

No, I'm still here.

*Glares at Aquila-kitty*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: You're not supposed to eat him!

Aquila: -changes to human- I don't think I did...

Swirl: ... what did he taste of?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

yup. space, atmosphere, the whole shebang.

John said...

*Frowns as apparently they can't hear him from way up there*

Oi!

*Waves his hands around*

I'm still alive down here!

Feraaaa32 said...

oh good. If life's better up there, i might move

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Wait a second...
-turns around, nearly kicking him-
Ooooh, you came up here!
-picks him up-
-calls down to Aquila-
It's fine, I found him!

Aquila: Oh, good. I'm pretty sure he's friend, not food...

John said...

Going to ignore the fact you were asking her what I taste like. Also going to ignore the fact you actually licked me.

*Glares at Aquila*
*Realizes he glares a lot*
*Stops glaring*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Well, I'm curious?

Aquila: You were mouse-sized!

John said...

I'm a person! You don't lick other people!

*Sighs and sits cross-legged in Swirl's palm*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... so what DID he taste like?

Aquila: -shrugs- Like other people. A little salty and pretty fuzzy, thanks to the clothes.

Swirl: Heh, boring...

John said...

*His eye twitches*
*Now they're talking like he isn't even there*
*Pokes Swirl's hand with a slightly very sharp shadow*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Ouch! -flinches and nearly shakes him off- Hey, when did you turn spikey? 0o

Aquila: He's spikey? Now I'm glad my tounge's fine... 0o

Swirl: -gently pokes tiny Blake- Do you want to be big again?

John said...

Nah, it's actually really interesting being this size, the world seems way different. Not to mention it just feels weird. Interesting weird.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... we could have a doll house for you?

John said...

*He begins to visibly seethe shadows*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Tiny cars are way cheaper. -nods-

Aquila: You'd need a big garage. -starts climbing up as well-

Swirl: It WOULD fit nicely on the balcony part of the platform...

John said...

*In addition to the shadows he starts to shake, periodically clenching his fists*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Are you alright?

John said...

Trying desperately to not brutally mutilate someone right now. But I'll be fine.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... why would you do that?
-looks around-
-sees no one else around-
... why would you do that TO US? 0o

John said...

John said...

*Sighs, taking a moment to relax*

I think the dollhouse idea is not a very good one, and have to protest. Also, suggesting making a place for me to live makes it sound like I'm going to stay like this, which I have no intention of doing.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I thought more holiday style? You could have a weekend off as being tiny. ... and the house can be put where you want, so you could have a tiny forest or beach or whatever adventure. -nods.

Aquila: .. we should do that some time.

Swirl: I'm not sure I could shrink myself...

Aquila: Aw...

John said...

*Grumbles and lays back, closing his eyes and lacing his hands behind his head*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -suppresses an 'Awwwww'- Are you comfy on my hand or would you like to sleep somewhere else?

John said...

Doesn't matter. I'm fine here.

*Shifts into a slightly more comfortable position*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Alright. ^^

Aquila Felis said...

(Um. Time. Will Blake be fine being small for a while longer?)

John said...

(Ah I'm sure he'll be alright. As long as a random cat doesn't come along and eat him.
<______________________<)

Aquila Felis said...

(As if she'd really... well, maybe if he runs and gets her hunting instincts active...
... thing is, she does eat mice if she stays cat long enough. She learned the hard way to stay cat until they are somewhat digested, though. ... human stomachs disapprove of mice.

In any case, I won't let her eat him. -nods-

Aquila: I don't eat people, anyway!

Me: You do what I want you to.

Aquila: .. you wish. >.>

Me: ... We'll see.

Aquila: Uh-oh.

Me: -grins-


Aaanyway. Night J! ^^
Night Blake, too. ^^)

John said...

(G'night!)

*Grumbles sleepily and curls up*

Noelle said...

I was made to work until closing
I told my boss that I was about to throw up, about to faint.
And he said that I needed to work to closing

And I'm a mess now.

John said...

(Why is it that when one human is put 'in charge' of another human they immediately develop a superiority complex? Most of the time, at least. I'm sorry that your boss is like that, Noelle...)

Noelle said...

Thank you, Blake, I appreciate it.

My mom might take me to the urgent care tomorrow because I'm so messed up

John said...

Physically, mentally, both..?

John said...

(Sorry, asking questions I shouldn't. Off to bed now.)

Dragona Pine said...

*huggles Starfish* :/

THERE WAS AN ERROR IN MY DREAM AND IT MADE ME WAKE UP THAT'S SO COOL. I managed to kick idk something that looked like a fuse box from arkham city despite my dream being set in my old high school and even though it was like 10m away and I kicked it again and was like wtf how am I kicking this then woke up. :)

Dragona Pine said...

And for some reason Michael Caine was my PE teacher (I blame this on watching Now You See Me last night), and we were supposed to be playing basketball but instead he gave us a talk about his car insurance. And someone was being REALLY annoying in the car insurance talk so I tried to kick him and that's when I accidentally kicked the fuse box 10m away with some creepy stretchy leg.

Inky Flame said...

(Goooood morning
I woke up with my duvet being flipped upside down... How the hell did I manage that?! It's a double duvet and quite heavy...))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hi...

How are you, Dragona and Inky?

I'm not good. Mother's just pissed off at me and I feel like it's my fault but I just want to be left some privacy and peace...

And I've had a headache since waking up.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

KILL ME

Inky Flame said...

Hey Gemma. :)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I'm glad.

How about you, Gemma and Keiron? How are you?

Dragona Pine said...

At least Michael Caine the PE teacher but talks about car insurance dream was soooooooo much less depression than the flesh eating piranhas war with Germany in the future with boats ones.

Im ok kassy. You?

Dragona Pine said...

I used to love the HIVE books. :)

Aquila Felis said...

You used to have many interests.
Until ME attacked.
;P

I just checked my timetable.
I'll have several places to be at once.
-will skip some things to go to others-

Dragona Pine said...

Erm. There hasn't been a book for 2 years.

I didn't just lose interest in them.

Dragona Pine said...

There actually won't be another book until 2017 so...

Aquila Felis said...

Read any new books, lately?

Dragona Pine said...

Er I started reading the Stormlight Archive a while ago???

Aquila Felis said...

-whispers- Tom, I'm sorry I have to tell you this, but... it seems your question marks are breeding. 0.0

Is it good?

Dragona Pine said...

Yes it's great.

Star Inkbright said...

(*quietly snaps fingers in a pentagram formation*
*metaphorically, because I can't actually snap my fingers*)

Aquila Felis said...

Why a pentagram, and did you never learn it or.. ?

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: Because according to Lizzie, snapping your fingers in a pentagram formation is the cooler version of snapping them in a Z formation. And I never learnt. :P

Aquila Felis said...

Does anyone really do the snapping thing? 0o

And, any intention to?

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: Erm . . . I'd snap my fingers in a Z formation (or a pentagram formation) if I could. :P

Not really, no.

Aquila Felis said...

Can you whistle?

Anonymous said...

(*places thumb and middle finger together and presses hard clicking them in a pentagram formation* ohhh hell no I know you did not just do that Crowley )

Aquila Felis said...

-blinks-

Who the heck's Crowley, and did they eat your last piece of cake? :P

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: No. I could a little bit at one point but I stopped practising, so . . . :P

:) Hey Keiron.

OMG KEIRON
LIZZIE'S PARENTS SAID THEY WOULD BUY HER /ANY/ CAR SHE WANTED
GUESS WHICH CAR SHE'S GETTING!!

I don't know much about cars. :P))

( 19278 version )

Aquila Felis said...

-thinks those cars look impractical-
-especially in the university parking lot-
-also looks like they need too much fuel-

Anonymous said...

( half agrees I suppose i'd rather this :P more practical in fuel ect )

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: Yeah, when I told my dad that Lizzie was getting the car from Supernatural he thought it was a terrible idea due to the impracticality. :P
Lizzie says she doesn't care. :P

Aquila Felis said...

Ours is a lot like this.

Aquila Felis said...

It's so NICE to have a tiny car when parking in tight spots, and ours has a window in the roof which is VERY useful in summer. You can let the hot air out that way. ^^

Star Inkbright said...

Our car is quite large. Well, our usual car is. Our usual car is currently broken. We got given a small black Mercedes as a compensation car. :)

Aquila Felis said...

Mercedes are weird with ther none-hand-handbreak. ^^
Plus my grandpa has a fancy one, just that it's so flat in the front I can hit my head leaning forward. :P

Star Inkbright said...

We have a Mercedes as well as our usual car. It's three years older than me and we're waiting for it to fall apart and die so we can get a new car, but it just keeps passing its test. :P

Aquila Felis said...

See, Star, if you want something to fail, don't buy a Mercedes. Try a Fiat. ;P

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: :P We bought it over a decade ago, second-hand.

Aquila Felis said...

To be honest, the newer ones aren't as durable as the old ones. ^^

Star Inkbright said...

@Aquila: No. Just under a decade ago, we had a silver Mercedes as well as our old one, and that wasn't nearly as durable.

Aquila Felis said...

Hrm, people here say mercedes used to make really durable ones and now not anymore.

Feraaaa32 said...

"good day" everyone.

Aquila Felis said...

Hi Frank. ^^

Feraaaa32 said...

hi johanna.

Star Inkbright said...

Suddenly, Blake!

((Not long though.))

I'm fine, thanks. ^^


Swirl: Aww... like a kitten...

Inky Flame said...

((hey gemmy ^^))

John said...

(Hey Gem)

*Sighs and stretches*

I am not.

Chione Asahina said...

(Hey John, Chloe.
How are you both?)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... are you sure? You curl up and make cute little noises...

Inky Flame said...

(I am goooood ^.^

I wrote 2000 words today!

John said...

*Gives her a 'please stop' look*

(I'm alright, you?)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -stops-

John said...

*Stands up, stretching again*

How long was I out?

Chione Asahina said...

(Really sucky right now...)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... long enough for my arm to go stiff from holding my hand flat...

John said...

Oh, sorry...

*Shadows lift him up to her shoulder, where he takes a seat*

John said...

(Why's that?)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Phew. -takes hand down-

John said...

So.

*Looks around for something to do*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... I could blow you into a bubble and we'll see if you float?

John said...

...

That sounds awesome, though physics might have other ideas.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Not sure, you ARE reasonably light... -gets her soapy water and ring on a stick-

John said...

Yeah, but supported-by-a-bubble light? Might be pushing it.

Chione Asahina said...

(Just lost my job, got the dentist tomorrow, got 2 tests in uni this week)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: We could try. ^^ -dips ring into soap water- You'll have to go in while it's not closed yet, OR we have to dip you into the soap water so you won't pop the bubbles.



Aquila: -watches the clouds from her nest-

John said...

I'd rather stay relatively dry, if that's alright... So how am I gonna get in before it's closed?

Bruadar Cadail said...

@gemma (that does suck. Condolences.)

John said...

(Ah... sounds fun. What are the tests in?)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Well, you'll have to go in with the air that goes in?

(Hi Bruadar. ^^)

Chione Asahina said...

Hey Bruadar, thanks.

Inky Flame said...

((Hello brud! Ash!))

John said...

*Looks at the ring*

Even I'd have to squeeze to get through that...

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... guess we need a larger one... Hm. -gets some wire to twist a bigger one-

John said...

(What and what.)

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *walks aimlessly and comes across the girl*

John said...

You couldn't just make me smaller? It'd make it easier for the bubble to hold me as well.

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

>The clouds continue to loom above her as she walks, casting its shadow over blogland darkly<

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

>She looks at Tawnee, slowing her walk slightly<

Hello. Where would I happen to be.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... are you SURE? Cause... what if someone steps on you or breathes you in?

Inky Flame said...

Tawnee: *normally would smile*
*but now she's lost the will to* this is blogland

John said...

*The thin cloud of shadows that always surrounds him becomes slightly darker, and seemingly more dense*

They'll know it as soon as they do and be in a much worse position than I.

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -cuddles up with her shadow blanket, in case those clouds mean rain-

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

>She nods, still walking slowly on her way.<

I see. Are there any shops nearby.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Hm. How small would you like to be, then?

Inky Flame said...

Taw: no... Why?

John said...

I dunno, what's the smallest you ever made a person?

Bruadar Cadail said...

(hey guys) @gemma (boy, that sounds...practical?)

Inky Flame said...

((How art thou?))

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

>She nods.<

I've been walking a while, I'm thirsty. Oh well. Maybe somewhere else.

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -calls down- We have lakes!

Swirl: I never made anyone smaller than you, they'd be hard to hit with a scythe.

Inky Flame said...

Taw: there is a pub

John said...

True. I'm around 8cm right now, right?

*Does a bit of math. Ew*

Two or three would probably do it.

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

Pubs take too long. And I haven't time to boil lake water. But thank you anyway.

>She smiles very slightly<
