I dedicate this page to Jack, for he is the light of my life.
I remember when I first met him on here, just before last years requiem ball. my initial reaction was 'oMG! I must form a bond with this human!'
and well... its beem the greatest eight months of my life. He is always so kind and caring and he is always there to comfort me and make me laugh. He isn't just my boyfriend, he is my best friend - I can trust him with things I cant even trust my parents with.
one quality ive always wanted in a guy is someone who can make me laugh. Jack does that so weel and he is so many other things - he is smart, witty, kind, caring, loving and *blushes* hes so handsome.
I hope I can make him as happy as he makes me
I love you Jack!))
*Manages to stand, holding himself in place with shadows around his feet*
*Forms reins of sorts, latching them on to either side of Sil's jaw*
*Pulls hard to the left, relying on his magic instead of physical strength*
(Hear hear.)
(Hear hear!)
AU: *hisses at the UV, turning her back to it, shaking her head*
*snarls at the reins, struggling and thrashing*
(( thanks guyz ^^))
(Where's Creede when you need him, eh?)
Aquila: Heh, this is working better than expeced. ^^
Swirl: -notices Blake- Oooh, hi again. ^^ ... guess it's a good time to... -waits till her arm is free for a moment, and grows Blake- -not quite to normal size, she's too close for that-
-Blake is now the size of a child-
*Takes him a moment to notice*
*Jumps on Sil's head, hard, using the reins to help him try to pull her to be ground*
(The*)
(hear hear... :P
uhmm not to be inpatient but are we going to see this wedding today ? :P)
AU: *hisses, tumbling off the platform, landing on her feet again*
*reaches behind her, swinging claws at Blake*
(That depends on if Soph's WiFi decides to play ball.)
((thanks K ^>^)
( ah ok :P hehe
np Chloe you two are cute together... not me and Gem cute but cute :P hehe yes it's a competition )
*Leaps off her, using his small stature to his advantage and dodging around as a smaller target*
*Wait a second*
*Its night*
*Everything is covered in shadows*
*The world seems to turn on Sil as shadowy tendrils fly at her from every which way, aiming to latch on and tie her down*
((hehehehe thanks XD I think XD
oh is it now? ))
((have you seen mark's cat video?))
( mhmm and we're winning :P hehe )
((no you aren't XD))
(Hear hear. ^^)
Swirl: -slooowly crawls away from their fight, so as to not attract her attention again-
( Omg yesss I love it ;D )
(No, you really aren't.)
(yes we are :D :P)
(( thanks Johanna
nope. me and jack win *Pokes out tongue*))
AU: *hisses, trying to avoid the shadows, swiping at the ones that get too close*
( oh sorry blake... blip is up there too :P )
*Forms a large box above her, bringing it down in an attempt to trap her in it*
( Nuhp Chloe ... will never accept defeat :P )
((well neither will me and jack))
(A truly fatal flaw.)
AU: *leaps out of the way and shoots straight at Blake ridiculously quickly*
( hehe ... hmmm truce .... for now.. )
( and why's that John? )
(-tilts head at the cuteness competition- Meeeh, neither of you win if you bring something actually cute in. Like baby animals.)
Swirl: -gets up-
((jack is cute ^.^ when we get train tickets, I have to get an adult and he gets a childs))
(It seems I disappeared briefly.
You can start, Jaimie.)
*His eyes widen*
*Theres not time to react*
*His shadows could never form a shield fast enough*
*She's going to get him*
*And then... She passes directly through him like a shadow, leaving a small trail of what looks like smoke*
*Blake is hunched over, unmoving*
*Quietly, he laughs in a voice not his own*
(Realizing you're beaten, knowing when to stop, saves you from humiliation and in more serious circumstances, death.)
Aquila: -frowns big time-
Did you notice... ?
Swirl: Yes.
Aquila: -keeps the torch on Silente-
Swirl: -shrinks Blake-
AU: *spins quickly, growling, leaping at him again*
(*cuddles Sophi* hey poofer. Okay.)
*its the day of the wedding*
*Sil and family arrive at.. the venue..*
( this is not serious though... also i'm not beaten )
((hey Soph!))
((Arent you?))
I'm sittin' there by the girl with the golden hair
Ruby lips poppin' gum, an electric stare
Dashboard lights glowing red and the moonlight catching on her pretty head
Black leather, lace, belt buckle grease
In my White Cadillac, may it rust in peace
On a yellow dying lawn, while the radio plays a crackling song
I'll rust with you
I'll rust with every one of you
Nostalgic nights
Have got me feelin' its all
gone (gone, gone) to rust
It's all gone (gone, gone) to rust
Swing skirt, fishnets and a broken dream
Blue petrol flame makes the jukebox scream
The cool cats all are crying, 'cause the records are all burnt and dieing
Leopard high tops lift into the sky
Fingerless gloved hands pulling me to fly
In the winter cold she kisses, and vanishes despite my wishes.
I'll rust with you
I'll rust with every one of you
Nostalgic nights
Have got me feelin' its all
gone (gone, gone) to rust
It's all gone (gone, gone) to rust
Baby don't keep me waiting
On this memory
The years and tears have gone and turned you
into ash you see
It's all gone
To Rust
The malt shop's a derelict skelly'ton
The disco's dead and the hop is done
The raves are flickering out, and your future flings follow en route
Lets drive the Cadillac into the sea
Its got transmission in my memory
Reminiscing in retrograde will fuel our pointless escapade
I'll rust with you
I'll rust with every one of you
Nostalgic nights
Have got me feelin' its all
gone (gone, gone) to rust
It's all gone (gone, gone) to rust
It's all gone
It's all gone
Gone to ru-ah-uh-ah-uhst
Gone to ru-ah-uh-ah-uhst
Gone to...
Nothing is cuter than Chloe
She is absolutely adorable, end of
And I love her more than anything in the whole world
(*rolls eyes*)
( course I am not :P hehe )
(jack... *kisses))
( do you have a song? )
(yep)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN4aFwGy2ck
(Yes! Its "When Your Evil!" *or that's what imma say it is for them*)
(as in is that both of your song? :P )
*The shadows under Sil, cast the the UV light, stiffen in place and latch on to her*
*Likewise, any shadows cast on Swirl and Aquila lock into place on them*
*He rises into the air, seemingly floating on his own*
It's been too long, little vampire...
(oh right!
jai! XD
yes we do
its 'lets have a kiki'))
Aquila: -changes to cat, jumping from the shadows, just to change into an eagle right away and get away from ground asap-
Swirl: -frowns-
(*pouts at Chloe*)
AU: *snarls, hissing, struggling against the shadows, eyes narrowed at him*
((your wish will come true jai ^.^))
(*sulks*)
((whaaaaat?))
-sits playing with the twins-
( ours is Just one yesterday :P here )
Erebus: Though nothing seems to have changed. Even this alternate version of you, unburdened by the weakness of love, can't do a thing against me...
*He gestures for Swirl to come towards him, and the shadows holding her respond*
And you, Miss Whirlwind, seem equally as helpless. You think this size will have any affect on me?
(*she cuddles Jaimie back*
The venue is Liliana's castle, Jaimie.)
Bethany: *she sits beside Silente, cuddling against her side* *she is wearing a white and green dress with little gold flecks on the skirt*
Claire: *she huffs and sits down*
(*cuddles gemmy gently* join in..)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdZZ02gtbFU
((this is mine and jacks))
Swirl: .. you may be able to make me walk around, but you still don't get through my shield.
-a ball drops on Erebus-
-it starts to glow and purr-
-and grow-
AU: *growls, shadows flaring up, even on her vampire form*
*what, you think she managed to help contain Erebus with no safety measures in place?*
*the shadows on her begin to melt and evaporate*
(@Sophi Ahhhhh. I thought so but wasn't sure..)
*slips an arm around Beth, smiling*
Don't sulk Claire.
Onwa: *has finally finished her makeup, scowling at the mirror*
Aquila: -gets the heck out of there after dropping the ball-
-goes to look for the house of Chione and Blake, though she only has a rough idea of which direction to look in-
(**sigils)
(Yeah Gem, Chi's the cure-all for Erebus problems.)
Erebus: On the contrary, I am already inside it.
*The shadows holding her twist around her arm, forcing it to bend in an abnormal and rather painful way*
*He frowns slightly at the orb, wondering what exactly it is*
(I am watching a rather interesting documentary on the Bermuda Triangle.)
Bethany: I never thought Liliana would be getting married... Then again, I didn't think I would, either...
Claire: I don't like weddings. They're boring and they're too lovey dovey.
Liliana: *she is in her own room, and finishes her makeup by putting on some black lipstick*
((I was starting to write a story based on the Bermuda triangle
not sure what to call it
maybe ill return to it one day))
-the sphere reaches critical size-
-it plops into two smaller spheres-
-they continue to purr, glow and grow-
-they are growing rather quickly, due to the large amount of food-
-food being magic, cause they are little magic drainers-
Swirl: ... -keeps a stubborn face so as to not give him hints-
Erebus: *Turns in mild suprise as his shadows have trouble with Sil*
No matter...
*A shadowy hand hurtles towards Sil with the force of an eighteen-wheeler*
(That's the place where all the planes and ships vanished isn't it?)
*squeezes her hand gently*
And I sure as hell never thought I'd be attending a wedding for a voice in my head who despised me..
*looks at Claire*
They're sweet. Be polite..
Onwa: *fusses over her hair slightly, trying to make it more.. perfect*
-the spheres double again-
Swirl: -has serious trouble keeping a stubborn face-
Aquila: -sees a bench made of ice-
-flies down-
AU: *ducks quickly under the hand, pulling free, diving at Erebus again*
*...vampires aren't the smartest when they're shed*
((yep ^.^
*listens to the darkness - I believe in a thing calle dlove*
*tries to sing high notes*
*fails*))
Erebus: *Doesnt even notice the draining, so he still isn't sure what their a are doing*
*He remains patient, continuing to twist her arm slowly*
(ok i'm here.)
-laughs and hugs them both tightly-
((has anyone heard of don bronco?))
(Don't believe so Chloe?
Gemmy! *Huggles*)
Erebus: *He decides making his body incredibly dense would make a more definitive point, and does so*
(I love that song Chlo.)
AU: *dives into the incredibly dense body*
*shakes head, hissing, clawing at him*
(Gah, sorry, failed to make the connection - I object the fact he could get in, but hey. For the sake of the story... )
Swirl: -watches them double once more-
-grins a bit, not quite happy-
.. ouch, but ha.
(I believe in a thing called love? it is great ^.^
don bronco sings superlove... the music video is weird))
(The video is weird but wonderful.)
(-hugs Jai again-)
((aye ^.^
I love some peoples creativity - the human mind is a beautiful thing))
(Love you sis..)
(Love you too.
Aquila, are you actually going to go get Chi or just wait outside her house all night? :P)
(Yes, it is. But I rather doubt its infamy is due to something particularly mysterious - it is more likely just to be circumstance or perhaps some kind of magnetic anomaly at a push. I also rather doubt that the amount of incidents that have happened in that area is anything unusual in comparison with the rest of the oceans.)
Bethany: Are you okay...?
Claire: Okay, fine.
Liliana: *she checks herself in the mirror, having finished, before stepping out of the room she was using to get changed in*
Alexandria: *she is waiting for Liliana outside* Hello, mother.
Liliana: Hello, Alexandria. Are you ready for this? Remember your very important job.
Alexandria: I have the ring, do not worry. I am going to check on Onwa. *she vanishes in a flash of black, reappearing beside Onwa* Hello, mother.
(I'd expect an eagle landing in your garden would give you a chance of an more active entrance... but I'll get her alright, if that's what you want. ^^)
Aquila: -has no idea what the last name on the doorbell should be-
-just rings-
(True..)
I'm good. I'm happy for them.
Onwa: *is still scowling at herself in the mirror*
*smiles at Alexandria*
Hello Alex.
*smoothes out the wrinkles in her dress, inspecting her makeup again*
Mmmm..
*turns to Alexandria*
-gets up and goes to the door-
Hello? Can i help you?
Bethany: *she nods and smiles*
Alexandria: Are you ready?
Aquila: ... um. Your husband... is being weird. The mean weird.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBo52--2XU4
(nightcore.... its amazing
but then I listen to the original song and its too slow XD)
*kisses her gently*
Let's hope no drama occurs..
Onwa: I believe I am, Yes.
*opens her jewellery box, getting a necklace to match Alexandria's dress*
*carefully puts it on her*
There. You look beautiful Alex.
Erebus: *Lets his form become shadow again, watching with a bored expression as Sil slashes at him again and again*
(Gonna be distant for a bit.)
(Guess that's my chance to be distant for a moment, too. ^^)
((okay john ^.))
hey guys, r r rabbit here!
its time for another Steam Powered Giraffe Performance!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQeeQjdU2Bk
You mean...Erebus...?
-frowns-
are his eyes both black? only one of them?
AU: *growls, slashing more*
*moves and SITS inside Erebus, the sigils preventing him from solidifying*
((*goes to bed*))
Erebus: *He simply moves outside her and takes another swing*
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Yes... I really hope it doesn't... Liliana and Onwa deserve to be happy...
Alexandria: *she looks at the necklace suspiciously for a moment* What is this for?
Aquila: ... er... a vampire jumped through him?
Through him?
-turns back to the kids and creates an ice clone-
I'll be back soon you two, don't leave the house, ok?
-closes the door smiling-
-glares-
take me to him.
Aquila: Remember the treehouse?
Swirl: -smiles as the 16 balls plop into 32, and the shadow twisting her arm gets notably weaker-
ey b0ss ^_^
*He finally notices a slight drop in his output, and realizes what the orbs are doing*
I see, if that is the case...
*He gives them what they want, feeding his darkness into the orbs, rapidly corrupting them and turning their light into darkness*
-the orbs don't give a damn about how dark the magic is-
-the orbs aren't beings of the light, anyway-
-they multiply once more, now 64 of them are draining him-
Fera: ey, what is going on here?
(I seem to recall an orb become mutated after consuming someone's blood or something.)
Aquila: -runs past him with Chione, points at the ladder, then walks back to him-
Um. Just another necromancer being weird. ^^
(Fera, butting in on a RP without asking is rude.)
(Yup, but dark magic isn't like that.)
(Um... I don't mind him joining?)
(Saying Erebus uses 'dark magic' is like saying Zues throws batteries at people.)
(Sorry, but it still doesn't get Krieg-blood status with my orbs. ^^ They'd be no use as in-cell shackles if the kind of magic bothered them.)
-She runs up the ladder-
Blake!
-stops and stares at Erebus-
Long time no see...i liked it that way.
how so? i thought this was a public rp? heh
(Everyone has the hardest time understanding what the word 'primordial' means ._.)
*can't fucking sleep!*
(It is not a hard word to understand, to my knowledge, Blake?
Hello again, Star.)
hey star ^_^
(Also please note that thanks to Swirl Ere-Blake is currently tiny. Dunno how tiny.)
( -not a native speaker-
-used a dictionary-
Yep, no, nothing like Krieg's bloos anyway. Sorry.)
Fera: *nods at aquila* ahhh very well ^_^
Aww...seeing you like this is actually adorable, Erebie. Can i call you that? i'll call you it anyway. Did you miss me?
-smiles sweetly-
*blood
(Also, sorry about the roleplay, but I should reaaallly sleep. Lecture in less than eight hours, and I've got a one hour plus way to university.
So erm. Night.. ^^
And, Blake's the size of a child. An about ten year old child.)
(You would think, Sophia. Also, Fera, it really isn't.)
(This roleplay wasn't public? Why the HECK did I get Gemma in, then? 0o -rolls eyes-
-no longer sorry about the roleplay being left like this-)
(Dictionary doesn't do it justice.
Erebus is the primordial embodiment of all darkness in the universe. The second or third being to ever exist.)
*He glares at Chione*
I will not allow you to wrestle his consciousness out again.
it isn't? rather you just don't want it to be *smirks*
(Because Chione is directly related to the situation.)
(Sorry, realised that sounded pretty mean while brushing my teeth...
*Why did I get Gemma in without her asking to join, then? 0o
(Cause I do think she fits into the story. Fera too, btw, considering he befriended Aquila. =P))
Then try and stop me.
-smiles and hugs him tightly-
You're so cute...
*Muffled protests come from the embrace, but he's unable to actually attack her. Blake won't let him*
(-properly leaving now, but just for the record - Fera can visit his friends at the treehouse whenever Frank feels like writing him there. =P-
You guys gotta tell me in advance if you want something exclusive with me. Otherwise I'll happily write around with anyone offering themselves. =P
(Yes, that did sound slutty on purpose.))
-kisses him-
Anyone in there?
*Her lips cover the majority of his currently minuscule body*
*His face slowly goes from calm arrogance to rage as the shadows begin to leave his eyes*
(Bye Aquila.)
Blakey boo? are you there?
-cuddles him tightly-
*His body contorts as he tries to free himself without any success*
Noooooooooooooo!
*The darkness leaves his eyes entirely, and he goes limp as Blake regains control of his body*
-sighs with relief and lays his head on her lap-
-plays with his hair calmly, waiting for him to wake up-
(Seriously, he's like 8cm tall right now >.<)
(And I just realized that Aquila left so he's staying like that.
*Facepalms*)
*His eyes flutter open slowly*
Chione..?
*He sits up and does a double take, nearly passing out again*
W- when did I..?
You let him take over again Blake...i don't know how. Someone came and got me and said a vampire went through you...
I have no idea what that means but i guess it was Sil...i wonder where she is.
-looks around-
("And, Blake's the size of a child. An about ten year old child")
Yeah, I brought Sil to Swirl so she could make her regular sized again and then she started to turn... couldn't find any serum at her tree house so we tried to restrain her and I guess... I guess during the fight I just lost it...
*He looks up at her*
This must have happened after he took over.
(Just after Erebus took over Swirl shrank him again, thought it'd slow him down or something.)
You're adorable...
Hi.
Watched 3 episodes of Castle. It's really good. I'm looking forward to seeing 100 hours of Nathan Fillion.
(Hey Kas. Sounds fun, think :L)
*Looks like he wants to protest but doesn't really have anything good, so he kinda just sits here with his arms crossed*
@John Yep. I was sad that there's not enough Firefly episodes, but Castle has 156 episodes and Nathan plays Castle so yayayay!!!
(Castle is really good...)
What? are you having a tantrum? are you mad with me?
-tickles him-
*Tries to get away or push her fingers off or something*
*Which, as you would imagine, doesn't really work*
*Laughs uncontrollably, squirming around on her lap*
Come on, let's get you home to the twins.
-grins evily-
*His face pales*
Uh, I don't think it's the best idea to be around kids like this...
That's exactly why i'm taking you home.
-sticks her tongue out and creates wings of ice-
-carries him in her arms and flies home-
-opens the door and melts the ice clone and her wings-
hey kids we're home!
Twins: Mummy!
D-daddy?
why is he small?
You're evil. I love you, but you're evil.
*Quickly tries to hide in Chi's dress*
-laughs at his comment then blushes-
Blake get out of there!
*A muffled 'Nope' comes from somewhere in the folds of her dress*
*Does not want to be made a toy for his own kids*
-turns bright red-
Blake please...what if the kids copy you?
*Cautiously pokes his head out*
Go upstairs first...
*Whispers* I really don't want them getting ahold of me...
U-uh...kids, daddy's tired...he'll be his normal self soon alright?
everyone should just head to bed for now.
-goes up to the bedroom and shuts the door-
-breaths out heavily-
There, you're safe. You can come out now.
*Clambers out and jumps on to the bed*
Sorry honey, you know how they are with toys, and they'd never take me seriously again.
To be honest i'm finding it difficult to as well...
-tries not to laugh-
*Stands up tall and-
...
Yeah okay he kinda just tries to look imposing and fails miserably*
-bursts out laughing and falls to her knees on the ground, arms crossed on the bed-
-she has tears in her eyes from laughing so much-
*Frowns and jumps up on to her forearm and crosses his arms, waiting for her to stop laughing*
Not going to happen for a while
-tears run down her face-
*His frown deepens and he starts tapping his foot*
*Jumps down so he's directly in front of her face*
(Goodnight John.)
(ok really going after this one)
What is it, little man?
-grins up at him-
*Looks up at her*
You're laugh at me...
*Pokes her nose*
*Can't quite reach*
*Keeps frowning*
(Laughing*)
I can't make it to my grambea's funeral
It's too expensive, too far...
I'm shattered
(I'm sorry Noelle... your thoughts will be there though, and that's all that really matters.)
(@Noelle oh God.. I'm so sorry.. you shouldn't have to go through that but.. even if you can't be at her funeral, you can still say goodbye, you know? Physical distance doesn't apply so much to the otherwise occupied.)
They do. They deserve a good moment.
Onwa: Accessorizing. You're my daughter, I want to help you..
I just want closure
[hugs Noelle]
*hugs Noelle*
Oh, I'm so sorry... D:
Noelle :/ :/ :/
*is going to drive supercars tomorrow* *can't wait*
