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: ... there's a pure alcohol lake? Just follow the dwarves.. ^^

Swirl: Alright, just stay... here. -puts him down gently-
-steps back just a bit-
-shrinks him down a bit more-
... oh. Um.
-holds hand in front of him-
... maybe climb up yourself, I'm scared I could harm you. ^^

Inky Flame said...

Taw: come back to my place...

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

I haven't the time, apologies. It takes time.

John said...

*Clambers up into her hand, then just kinda stops and stares*
*He's a bit taken aback by the sheer size of everything compared to himself*

Inky Flame said...

Taw: okay

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

>She nods and continues to walk along.<

Aquila Felis said...

Me: -gives Frank a cookie-



Swirl: So, you run in with the air?

Feraaaa32 said...

you know...some people...really don't know how to treat people who love them...and would need a real beating *frowns*

Feraaaa32 said...

*takes cookie* *halves it with her*

John said...

*Shakes his head*

Y- yeah. I'll latch myself on the side of the ring.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Are you alright?

Me: -eats half the cookie-

Anonymous said...

(who's that f? )

John said...

Mhm, it's just a bit disorienting. Everything is so huge...

*Walks to the edge of her hand and looks down*

Inky Flame said...

Taw/ *follows*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -holds still so he won't fall-

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

>She frowns very slightly.<

Are you following me miss?

John said...

Alright, let's see if a bubble can hold a Blake...

*Sits down in the center of her palm, still looking around in awe*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -takes soap ring- I'll try to blow a reallly big bubble so you have more time to hop in. Okay?

Inky Flame said...

Taw: yes

John said...

Alright.

*Uses shadows to propel himself to the ring, then to latch himself on to the side so he won't go flying when she starts to blow*

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

Why?

>She continues to walk, not wanting to stop<

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -takes a deep breath and starts blowing a fairly big bubble-

John said...

*Shifts over to the inside of the ring and releases his shadows, quickly being blown into the growing orb*

Aquila Felis said...

-bubble closes and starts floating off-

Swirl: Ooooooh, I like the shadows in a bubble thing...

John said...

*Says something, but a mixture of his size and the fact he's in a bubble makes it inaudible*
*Carefully walks around the inside of the bubble, trying not to look down*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -gently blows on the bubble to make it float over the platform edge, so it won't land and break on the platform-

John said...

*Stumbles over as the bubble changes direction*
*Gives her a look then goes back to looking everywhere but down*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Sorry! ^^ -sits down and watches the floaty bubble-

-a wild fly is buzzing around-

John said...

*Notices the fly*
*Wonders*

*As the fly zips by one time, he pops the bubble and lashes out at it, taking off its wings in one deft strike. As they fall towards the ground he creates a huge(to him) glider and grabs the fly with shadows, they land on the platform and battle music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gxN5jD2SxY) starts*

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

»That's very mean to the fly.«

John said...

(It's a danger to him at this size, and somebody was gonna swat it anyways.)

Aquila Felis said...

( XD )

-fly walks around, quite irritated by the loss of its wings-

John said...

*Shadows form an almost regular-sized flyswatter behind him, which he then grabs. Totally not at all aided by more shadows because he couldn't hold it himself at this size*
*He takes a swing at the fly, bringing his mighty weapon crashing down*

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

»Still believes it was unnecessarily mean to the fly. However that doesn't matter.«

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

»Leaves.«

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -giggles-

-fly runs out of the way, barely-

John said...

*He brings the swatter around in a large sweeping motion, sharpening the edge*

Aquila Felis said...

-fly is still running-

Noelle said...

*Is a tiny kitty, the one in her profile picture*

John said...

*Flashes a triumphant smile, the fly walked right into his trap*
*No seriously, a cage springs up around the fly*

*Blake throws his arms up in victory, making a sound that seems to be cheering. It's really hard to tell*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -applauds, with two fingers, so it won't be too loud-

John said...

*Tiny kitty is pretty darn big compare to 2cm Blake*
*Backs away towards Swirl, remembering the last time a cat caught him*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -puts her hand on the floor-

John said...

*Climbs up into it and starts to write in the air with shadows*

"Alright, as incredibly cool as this is you can make me large enough to at least be heard again."

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Ah, might be a good idea. ^^

-grows him so he's the size of the kitten's ear-
-so about twice what he was-

John said...

Thanks, it's extremely disorienting being that small. Even this size is still a bit unnerving...

*Seems to suddenly think of something and laughs*

I wonder what Chione would think if she saw me like this.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Your wife? Hm. Maybe she'd ask you to clean behind the cupboards...

Noelle said...

*Noelle kitty prances over and gently picks up Blake between her teeth*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -watches, wondering if he needs to be saved-

John said...

*Freezes as the kitten lifts him off his feet, wondering what she intends to do*

Inky Flame said...

((sorry, im back))

Taw: I have nowhere else to be

John said...

(*Wonders where everyone went*)

Inky Flame said...

((I am here))

Aquila Felis said...

(I'm here, waiting for the cat to do something so I know if Swirl has to save Blake or not. ^^)

Inky Flame said...

((hey Aquila!))

Aquila Felis said...

(Hi Chloe! ^^)

Inky Flame said...

((how art thou?))

Noelle said...

I'm sorry, I'm making dinner! My secret recipe for spiced chicken!
*Just holds him, and moves him over to Spiral's feet, as a present* *Bats at Blake curiously with a paw*

Garret Falcone said...

(Hello again blog land, I have returned. *clap of dramatic thunder* )

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Aww, cute kitty. :P
-CAREFULLY picks Blake up-

Aquila Felis said...

Hello Garrett, have we met?

John said...

*Tumbles over when the kitty bats him and just kinda hangs there dazed when Swirl picks him up(

Inky Flame said...

(Rhos!!))

John said...

(*Claps for the well-executed entrance*

Not as flashy as I would have done myself but very ominous, I like it.)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... would you like to be big again? -is a bit worried, cause Blake's behaving like a gulp of soup in a curve-

Chione Asahina said...

It seems everyone wants to rp with you John. You're very popular.

Aquila Felis said...

How could we not want to, he's TINY. -grins-

John said...

*Shakes himself, cracking a few joints*

Nah, I'll be fine. Believe it or not I've lived through much worse than this.

*creates a shadowy springboard and launches himself up to her shoulder*

John said...

(I was gonna ask if you wanted to come on over skype, but you never replied :l)

Garret Falcone said...

(Don't think so Aquila, the name be Garrett or Rhos (da authour ) either one is fine :)

Chloe! Been a while :) and thank you John, I don't think anyone can watch your standards of entrance though )

Now I think it be time for some Garrett style Rp


Garrett: *he's wandering alone in the woods*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Alright. ^^

Inky Flame said...

*Taw is out wondering to*

Aquila Felis said...

Aquila: -is sitting in her nest in a big oak, below in the oak the treehouse with Swirl and Blake-

Garret Falcone said...

Gar: *spots Taw* *smiles to himself* *shadow walks behind her* *gently places his hands over her eyes* guess who?

Inky Flame said...

Taw: *gasps*
*tears immediately start falling down her face*

Noelle said...

*Meows* *Liked her toy*

Inky Flame said...

((hello Noelle!

*gives kitty a toy*))

John said...

*Looks down from Swirl's shoulder at the kitty*
*Grins and sticks his tongue out*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -can't quite see what he's doing without being face right next to him-

Garret Falcone said...

(hey Noelle been a while :) )

Gar: *a smile in his tone of voice* well? Do we have an answer Hun?

Noelle said...

:(
*Lays down* *Has no one with her anymore*

Inky Flame said...

Rabbit: *walks along and spots kitty*
hwwo k k kitty! *bends down*

Taw: *covers her mouth*
*she cant stop crying*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Aww, cute kitten. -gently strokes the kitty-

Inky Flame said...

(hey everyone! its your good friend r r r rabbit the robot here! who wants to see a performance?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjiIQ9Z02bU)

John said...

*Grabs a strand of Swirl's hair to stead himself as she pets the kitten*

Garret Falcone said...

Gar: *still with the smile in his tone, slowly turns Taw around to face him* *whispers* surprise

Chione Asahina said...

I need to try find a new good picture for chi...

John said...

(@Chloe: "But I'm an 1890's chick"
Genius xD)

Inky Flame said...

((I love steam powered giraffe ^.^ I recommend them to everyone!))

Taw: y you left me... *looks at the floor*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Don't fall down. ^^ -keeps stroking the kitty-

Inky Flame said...

((my favourite is 'ill rust with you'))

Garret Falcone said...

(Gem! It's been a while my friend )

(Spg ftw! )

Gar: *lifts her head to look at him and hugs her tightly* I know I did... It was because I had some "old business" to sort out which I should've done a while back, but I'm here to stay now... I know it's not going to be a quick fix and that's why we'll start now and see if we can make up for the lost time

John said...

*Chuckles*

Don't send my flying.

Inky Flame said...

(( They are my latest obsession))

Taw: *crushes him in a hug* I Ive missed you...

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I don't mean to. ^^

Garret Falcone said...

(I can tell lol and the song brass goggles is really good )

Gar: *smiles a bit* I've missed you too Tawne, I'm sorry I had to leave..

Inky Flame said...

(aye! I must recruit peoplez to the fandom!))

Tawnee: *just stays close and weeps* I I love you

Chione Asahina said...

Hey Rhos :)
-hugs-

John said...

It's fine, if I do end up falling I can just go straight through my shadow.

*Makes a snowboard out of shadows and slides down her arm, jumping off as he reaches her elbow and making a parachute to take him the rest of the way to the ground*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... that... was actually really entertaining to watch.
-grins-
-picks Blake up and gently throws him into the air-

Garret Falcone said...

(*hugs Gem back* :)
*hugs all people* )

(you must Chloe! You must xD)

Gar: -*holds her close to himself* *gently wipes her tears away* I love you too *gently kisses her forehead*

Dragona Pine said...

*is downloading the Just Cause 2 PC Demo to see if it'll work*

*if it does will buy it from Amazon on PC*

*because mods*

Inky Flame said...

((*giggles* if you like them, you should watch the introduction videos))

Taw: I I didn't think id be able to smile again...not w without you

John said...

*After tumbling through the air for a second he manages to straiten himself out and create a set of wings to glide around on*

Glad what to me was an extremely treacherous stunt was cute and entertaining to you.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I thought you like a challenge? 0:)

John said...

*Lands back on her shoulder with a little flourish*

More than almost anything else.

Noelle said...

*Purrs* *Paws at the ground*

*Goes off and becomes human again* *Curls in a knot in the trees*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... feel like being whirled around? ^^

Inky Flame said...

woah! you're peculiar aren't you

Chione Asahina said...

-climbs up to blake, swirl and aquila-
There you are...

Garret Falcone said...

(Alright I shall at some point soon )

Gar: You can always smile, trust me you just got to find a reason to smile *nods* *smiles* see

Noelle said...

*Curls in a fetal position*

Inky Flame said...

((okay coolz ^.^)

Taw: you are m my reason, Garrett.

Chione Asahina said...

-waves at Adra-
Hello.

John said...

*His face immediately lights up*

Chione!

*Leaping off Swirl's shoulder, he makes a pillar of shadows tall enough so that he's almost eye-level with Chi*

Inky Flame said...

((I am off to ed now

nos da!))

Garret Falcone said...

(Yeah and gg you're speaking like me )

(*offers a hug to Noelle* )

Gar: *wipes a stray tear from his eye* Tawnee... That was beautiful... You are my reason to smile

Garret Falcone said...

(Nos da Chloe )

Chione Asahina said...

U-uh...Blake...?
-eyes widen-
Baby what happened to you?

Chione Asahina said...

(Night Clo!)

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I happened to him. :D

John said...

What?
*Remembers she hasn't seen him like this yet*

Oh, yeah, that. Swirl over there can shrink people and I thought it might be interesting to see what it was like. So... *gestures to himself*

Chione Asahina said...

And who may you be?
-glares-

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: I'm Swirl Whirlwind, and you're at my home. Nice to meet you, you must be the wife. ^^

Chione Asahina said...

-rolls her eyes-
Of course you would want to try it out.
-looks at swirl-
Could you turn my husband back to normal for a moment?

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: Sure. ^^

-steps back to grow him back-
-is too happy, so he ends up with a yellow tint-

Chione Asahina said...

...and now he's a simpson.
-grabs his tie and pulls him into a passionate kiss-

Aquila Felis said...

(Blake just turned into the only person I know that walks around with hoodie and tie. XD)

Swirl: Oooops... -gets out of his immidiate reach-

John said...

*Is slightly surprised when he's suddenly normal sized again*
*That quickly passes though, since he's preoccupied by kissing the most perfect part of his life*

John said...

(Yeah, not sure when Blake got a tie. *shrugs* Oh well, maybe he's finally going senile. Only took about five hundred years...)

Chione Asahina said...

(Ok. Maybe she pulled his hoodie instead. I always see blake in a suit.)

I'm Chione Soul. Yes i'm the wife.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: One second... -points at Blake- Dad. -points at Chione- Mum. ... so who's looking after the children? Cause I remember Blake saying they shouldn't be unsupervised...

-is fairly sure that'll distract him from the fact he's a bit off, colour wise-

John said...

(Well he's usually wearing a cloak. Didn't pick and keep this profile picture for no reason. We'll say that he was wearing his 'suit' though.)

John said...

*Has one arm around Chi's waist*

Assuming you left an ice clone with them?

Chione Asahina said...

My brother lives with us and watches them from time to time.
And i knew Blake was here because of the objects he gave our twins for their birthday. So they know where their family is at all times. Especially their father. They really look up to him
-smiles-

John said...

*Finally notices he's yellow*
*The entire area seems to become a little darker*

Swirl...

Chione Asahina said...

What is it dear?
Yellow not your colour?
Maybe you should eat more dounuts and start saying 'doh'
-smirks-

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: ... I... erm... I should probably try to fix that?

Noelle said...

*Walks, then, to Adra's house, and climbs up to the tower up top*

Chione Asahina said...

(Where even is adras house? I only knew of her lab.)

John said...

*Sighs*

I like the doughnut idea.

*Shadows creep along the ground towards Swirl*

Yeah, you probably should.

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -attempts fixing the colour- -is too aware of the shadows, and he's suddenly midnight blue-

0.0

Chione Asahina said...

-gasps-
Now that i can get used to...omg.
-unbuttons his shirt slightly-
You look hotter than that guy from avatar.

Noelle said...

(They are the same)

*She lays on the tower, isolating herself*

John said...

*Was about to protest*

*Hugs Chi so she can't see him mouth "fix it later" to Swirl*

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -grins-

Chione Asahina said...

-undoes another button-
Do you...wanna come home the now?
-bites her lip and stares up at him-

Aquila Felis said...

(Blake should remember that colour well. XD )

John said...

*Wonders how one goes about refusing a face like that*
*Decides it doesn't really matter as he didn't plan to anyways*

Should I take us there now, or do you want to do it the normal way?

Chione Asahina said...

(It's the colour of my prom dress :)

Chione Asahina said...

Well is there any point in going the long way back...?
-walks her fingers down his chest slowly-

Aquila Felis said...

Swirl: -giggles-
-glitter starts raining all over them-

John said...

*Shivers slightly*

No, I suppose there isn't...

*Shoots Swirl an 'I'll be back' look and sinks himself and Chi into their shadows, straight to the master bedroom of their house*

Chione Asahina said...

-eyes sparkle-
-literally-
-winces as glitter goes in her eyes-
-opens one to see blake covered in sparkly glitter and his midnight blue skin-
Holy shit...

Noelle said...

*Her body hits the water below*

Chione Asahina said...

(Noelle...?)

John said...

What..?

*Notices himself in a mirror*
*His eye twitches a little*
*...*
*Roll with it*

*Kisses her, slowly walking them towards the bed*

Chione Asahina said...

-pushes him back on the bed and rips off his clothes, kissing him back-
(Heh..time skip?)

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*swoops in and saves Noelle*

Noelle said...

😕

John said...

*Breaks apart just long enough to get her dress off*

(A shame we have to, but yeah.)

Chione Asahina said...

Mmm -rolls over and kisses him-
I really like this new colour. And the glitter although it'll be a bitch to get rid of.
'I'm blue daba dee daba die'
-giggles-

John said...

*Rolls his eyes*

As if I wasn't suspicious looking enough already, won't be able to take a single step outside Blogland.

*laughs*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*cuddles Noelle*

Chione Asahina said...

We could cover sil in glitter. Then she'll be like a twilight vampire...

Aquila Felis said...

Me: Oh I LOVE the idea... -grins-

Noelle said...

.....
😕

Chione Asahina said...

(So do i :P)

John said...

*Laughs again*

She does love her glitter.

Chione Asahina said...

Yeah. Always bursting glitter over other people...we need to plot revenge. Glitter wars!

Aquila Felis said...

(Heh, but Blake hates glitter. :P ^^)

Me: It's time to sleep, for me. University starting -checks time- this week, so. ^^ Night all!

Aquila: -changes to eagle and puts head below wing-

Swirl: -gets into her treehouse and locks the door-

Chione Asahina said...

(Night guys :)

Noelle said...

*Curls in a fetal position* *Slides herself into the water*

Dragona Pine said...

Your picture is really cute Adra. :)

I'm really tired. *probably should sleep* *can't sleep* *is weird*

Dragona Pine said...

Wtf my phone just showed a wallpaper which wasn't mine for a second 0_0

Noelle said...

*lets herself drown, then* *And she is gone*
