I'm working hard. Writing fast. Deadline's looming. But while I work, other people have been working too, such as the awesome folks responsible for the covers...
And so, without further ado...

*cantreply*
Mediocre at best, and low more often than not. But I mean, such is life. What about you?
I dedicate this page to Chloe
For one reason
Love
(*giggles*)
(I am good
I am sorry to hear that... My email is always open if you ever want to chat
Jaaaaack!))
Hi there Edward.
Awh, thanks, I appreciate it.
I'm currently buried neck deep in an assignment so I'll probably disappear to get that done soon. But I look forward to Derek (hopefully) making a post about the Ronda v Holly fight, that was quite sad.
((It's okay ^.^
I see, good luck with your assignment!))
Tresha: *smiles*
Thank you..
Mark: *they snap and he lands pretty solidly on his back and head, winding him and dazing him*
*the guards and WS catch up*
WS: *shifts to his large black wolf form, growling*
MrBBWolf: *kisses him passionately back*
AU!Sil: *is swirling blue hologram energy around her hands from one of her sigils, thinking*
*occasionally it forms shapes or outlines before turning back into energy strands*
*she's hungry and grumpy*
*well, hungry and grumpyish*
*pokes Jai's nose*
(*cuddles Matty!* *pokes his nose back*
*hugs starry*)
:) *hugs Jai back*
Wbd. Drawing.
(Hows the drawing going?)
@Jai: :) I'm still working on the outlines, so I can't really tell yet; there's not been much chance for anythign to go wrong. I did have an issue where I hadn't realised the screen had zoomed in and cut a section off, but I think I got around that.
So, yeah, okay so far. :)
(Oops xD
I'm glad it's going well so far!)
*Cuddles Jai back and makes a boop sound when his nose is poked*
(*smiles, cuddling close* Hello. You should be working. *looks at clock* Correction, you should be sleeping.)
Naw it's only 9.30, definitely not time for sleep. Your first statement was correct, I should be working! And I am, but it's not going well.
(*frowns at the time* I swear you're only like 9 hours behind me.. or 11.. *does momentary maths* Not like 13.
What's the project? *braces for confusing high techy techy words*)
Time zones are silly throughout the year! But around this time it's like it was last year, subtract 1 hour from your time and flip the AM/PM :)
*carefully omits the techy words* It's a game (and a research report)!
(*cries* I'm trying to sleep cause I'm ill but my dog keeps licking my nose!)
Aww your dog sounds adorable
(The vicious thing ----->)
(Mmmm. Strange time zones. *pokes the time zones*
*cuddles Chloe* nawwww.)
(*cuddles jai* he's a git
He is cuddled up between me and my arm
And he groans like an old man whenever I make the slightest movement )
(Nawwwww. Yes an adorable git. He just wants a cuddle, and for you to not move. At all.)
(I swear he's part cat)
Doggie is cute
(Hey! Don't dis cats!)
(Thanks mat
Whaaaaat?)
(Dont disrespect cats *nods* Being part cat is a compliment!)
((Meh
I'm more of a dog person))
(Hi.
Poor Ronda.)
(Hi XD)
I'm more of a "stay away from animals" person. :P
((Hello those who's here
*turns back to 3000 word essay due in tomorrow))
(I like cats.
@Chloe & Saoire can we possibly continue the Kiana/Felix/Velvet/Samuel rp?)
((I taught my dog to walk on his hind legs!))
(Well done :)
(I'm sitting on a leg rest with my hand dangling down so barneys tried to do what guy dogs do and he wouldn't let go, so I got up and walked hunched over and he wouldn't let go xd)
*loves all the animals*
(xD nawww)
(*waves at Seri, Jai, Chloe and Matex*)
(*wave at kas and hugs*)
(He's acting like mark XD
*nay be an animal psychologist*))
(Omg xD Silly doggy.)
(*hugs Jai*
About yesterday's dedication... are you okay? Did something happen?)
(*huhs everyone*)
(@Chloe Huh?)
(*hugs)
(*hugs Cjkoe back*
*hugs kas back* Something always happens kas. Dont worry yourself about it.)
*worries about what has happened*
Message me on facebook if you want Jai! Distant here but will always reply there :)
((You can also Facebook meeee!))
(*hugs them both*
@Jai Okay... I'm here if you want to talk about it...)
(*rolls eyes and cuddles everyone*
Thanks guys.)
(*cuddles*)
(Sunday!!!!
*wants to just crawl under the blankets*)
(*waves at everyone*
Yeah, continue guys?)
Velvet: *bats Kiana away with an energy tendril*
*turns to face Felix and smirks*
Felix: *growls* go away and leave us alone
Kiana: *lunges and moves to bite her ankle*
*if she bites her teeth will sink in down to the bone*
Velvet: *laughs* Or what?
*is bitten and heals herself*
(Breakfast, will be ten minutes)
Kiana: *scowls*
*she hates when they know how to heal*
*backs up*
*runs at the wall of the house, using it as a spring board, jumping off it and at velvets neck*
Felix; otherwise I will kill you
Velvet: *teleports at the last moment to be right in front of Felix*
*gives him a quick kiss then teleports inside the house*
I'm a Goddess Felix, you can't kill me.
*walks around upstairs*
(That was a bit more than 10 minutes sorry)
Felix: get out of there! *storms upstairs*
Kiana: *hisses, running after them both, surging ahead of Felix, bounding up the stairs*
Velvet: *seals all of the Windows on the second floor then teleports outside*
*does the same to any doors and windows on the first floor*
Kiana: *pauses at the sealed Windows*
*growls and starts scrabbling away at one, throwing her weight against it, breaking it bit by bit*
Felix: *growls* Velvet! Come back here this instant!
Velvet: *has time now to grow stronger and stop Velvet's voice in her head*
Velvet: My name is Kali, Felix...
*Velvet's voice is getting louder, just like last time*
Kiana: *hisses, continuing to break away at the walls*
*-Felix! Help! Smash it!-*
Velvet: *would try to add second layers of shadows to the exits but knows that it will make her weaker and Velvet stronger*
Kiana: *backs up, rolling her shoulders*
*charges straight at the wall, throwing herself against it violently*
Felix: stop kiana! *draws kurikara*
*slices at the window*
Kali: *starts flickering between herself and Velvet*
*the seals on the exits become weaker, as do the second layers*
Kiana: *watches him*
*sees that its weakening*
*charges and smashes through the shadow*
Kali: *looks up as it smashes*
*flickers between Velvet and back again*
Felix; *jumps out of the window and lands on feet*
Kiana: *lands on her feet (luckily) and looks at Kalvet*
*thinks about the Windows, how they weaken as Kali grows stronger*
*decides to try distract her magic*
*healing, it takes a lot of magic if she remembers rightly*
*hisses and runs at kalvet*
Velvet: *gasps and looks at Kiana as she runs at her*
*puts her arms up to try and defend herself*
Felix: *ahouts* KIANA!
Kiana: *stumbles, trying to stop, realizing it's velvet again*
*comes to a stop in front of her*
Kali: *flickers back and smirks at Kiana*
Felix: give velvet back!
Kiana: *growls and lunges, biting her stomach*
Kali: *smirks again* Never.
Velvet: *flickers back and screams*
Kali: *pulls Kiana out of her stomach*
Kiana: *looks confused*
*bites Kali's hand*
(Sorry guys... I must fepart cause this essay needs my attention
Carry on without me, felix has gone to search for Sam)
Kali: *shakes Kiana off*
*looks like she is about to use her power but flickers*
Velvet: *screams again and is about to faint but flickers again*
Kali: *tries to heal herself but Velvet's screaming in her head is really annoying and distracting*
(Okay, bye Chloe and good luck with your essay!)
(By Chloe! Good luck with the essay!)
Kiana: *backs up slightly, watching the situation*
*trying to decide what needs to be done*
Kali: *looks down at the blood leaking from the gaping whole in her stomach and tries again to heal it with a messed up hand*
Kiana: *sits, deciding it's safe for now*
*she won't die quickly from that wound*
Kali: *has a better idea and uses energy tendrils to hold her stomach and hand together*
*she is still in a lot of pain but it will hold for now*
*looks back up at Kiana and grins*
Kiana: *scowls*
*that's not what she wanted her to do*
*growls*
Kali: *an energy tendril picks Kiana up and smacks her against the ground*
*waits to rebuild her energy*
(Brb)
(Okay)
Kiana: *yelps, whimpering, groaning slightly*
*pushes back onto her feet, keeping her weight off her left leg because it hurts, and leaps at Kali, biting her shoulder*
*is trying to bite places that won't kill her*
Kali: *grabs Kiana and throws her again*
Kiana: *twists this time to roll, preventing further damage*
*charges again*
*she doesn't know how else to help velvet*
Kali: *watches Kiana*
*she has no energy back yet but raises her hands as if she is about to use her powers*
Kiana: *hisses and pounces, trying to bite her shoulder again*
Velvet: *flickers back as the energy holding Kali's wounds together fades and disappears*
*blood continues to trickle out of her stomach, hand and shoulders*
*screams and collapses*
(Sorry, sister needed my help.)
Kiana: *opens her pouch of medical supplies, grabbing the needle and thread, bandages, everything she needs*
*gets a rag and covers it in chlorophyll*
*lays it over Velvets face to make sure she's asleep*
*sets about fixing her*
*time skip?*
(No worries)
*yeah*
Kiana: *has carried velvet back to their house having sewn and bandaged her up*
Velvet: *is having a nightmare*
*screams and wakes up, sitting bolt upright*
*forgets that she had a whole in her stomach and that sitting up probably wasn't a good idea*
*in in too much pain to scream*
Kiana: *looks up quickly at the movement*
*hisses and runs over, gently lowering her to a laid back position that won't hurt as much*
*runs off and comes back with three thinks on a tray*
*a drink, some pain killers and a wet rag for her head*
*looks apologetic*
Velvet: *starts crying and hugs Kiana despite the pain in her shoulder*
Kiana: *whimpers, hugging her back*
*still looks apologetic*
*carefully pushes her back again, handing her the drink and painkillers*
Velvet: *looks at the drink and painkillers*
*whispers* Thank you.
Kiana: *nods, waiting for her to take them*
Velvet: *swallows the painkillers with the drink*
*looks at Kiana* I'm so sorry.
Kiana: *takes the glass, setting it on the side*
*drapes the damp cloth across her head*
*nods*
*is keeping all her weight off her left leg, she's bound it tightly and used a stick to keep it straight and supported*
*it's pretty obviously broken*
Velvet: *notices her leg and gasps*
Did- did I do that? *looks horrified*
Kiana: *looks at velvet, then her leg*
*pauses then shakes her head*
*mimes falling over*
*shrugs*
*knows it's kinda a lie but still*
Velvet: Kiana, you can't have done that just by falling over, I know I did that...
*takes her phone out and rings Flo*
Flo please don't hang up, I need you to come to Felix's house asap.
*listens to Flo on the other line and sighs with relief*
Thank you so much.
*puts the phone down*
Flo: *teleports outside Felix's house and knocks on the door*
Kiana: *shakes her head, miming falling over again*
*looks at the door*
*scurries over to the door, jumping to grab the handle and open it*
*growls at Flo, not knowing her*
Flo: *jumps* Um... I'm Flo, my s- Velvet called me, is she in?
Kiana: *eyes her suspiciously*
*backs up, hopping on her back leg, holding the door for her*
*nods at the bed*
Flo: *finds Velvet* I'm assuming you did something stupid and now want me to heal you?
Velvet: *mutters* Nice to see you too Flo... And actually no. I kind of broke Kiana's leg and I was wondering if you could please fix it for her.
Flo: You broke her leg?!
Velvet: Kali did, I had no control.
Flo: *rolls her eyes* Okay. *turns to Kiana*
Kiana: *closes the door, following Flo closely*
*blinks when Velvet asks Flo to fix her*
*shakes her head, pointing at Velvet, trying to make her understanding velvet needs help more*
Velvet: I don't deserve to be healed Kiana, you do.
Flo: Yeah, I'm not healing Velvet.
Velvet: Please let her fix your leg Kiana.
Kiana: *glares and growls pointedly*
*points at Velvet again, gesturing to her own stomach*
*looks pleadingly at Flo*
*whimpers*
(Back this evening)
(Oh.. Okay)
It could be said that colonialization destroyed the Ibo culture. When Okonkwo was talking to Obierika, Obierika says ‘Our own men and our sons have joined the ranks of the stranger’. This echoes the leader of Okonkwo’s motherland who feared for the clan. When Christians travelled to Africa, they converted many Ibo tribesmen to Christianity. This meant centuries of tradition and culture were abandoned which caused uproar with people who refused to convert. A once close knit clan was now destroyed. However, on the other hand, it can be said that there was already an underlying tension within the clan and people were questioning the traditions of their culture. When Nwoye realises that Ikemefuna had been killed, he reminisces about the last harvest season when people had heard the cry of infants in the Evil Forest. It was a tradition to throw away twins in the forest during infancy. ‘A sudden hush had fallen on the women…and they had quickened their steps’. The fact that they ‘quickened their steps’ to get away suggests that they feel guilty about the tradition, but they try to forget about it by leaving instead of intervening. At the end of part one, a funeral is held for Ogbuefi Ezeudu and Okonkwo’s gun goes off, accidentally killing the dead man’s son. This incident leads to Okonkwo’s banishment. Obierika sits in his obi and wonders why ‘should a man suffer so grievously for an offence he had committed inadvertently?’. Unlike Okonkwo, Obrieka is a man of thoughts and ponders the traditions of his culture. He wonders why people should suffer for things that weren’t their fault. It could be said that colonialization was a good thing because it prevented injustices like this occurring.

(which one is better? all the same stuff but in a different order)
I don't know, I prefer the first one. Then again, the second one will have naturally felt like interesting because I'd already read all the information.
^less interesting
Sorry, can't type XD
(okay, thanks ^.^)
AU!Sil: *walks around with a can of spray paint*
*hums quietly to herself*
((When I read the words 'spray paint' I instantly picture orange pentagrams . . .)
(..why?
*doesn't even know what to do with AU!Sil*
*is really bored*)
(Supernatural. They often use orange spray paint to make demon traps.
:( :()
(they are red... )
(*swears uncontrollably about essay writing and the amount of work I need to do for the psychology extended project*)
(Kinda sucks when family members are being passive-aggressive. Makes me feel like shit.
Hello.)
(*hugs kas*
(*hugs kas*
*hugs Chloe*)
(And now they're just aggressive. Awesome. Kill me, please.)
:( :( :( *hugs Kas*
@Keiron: I swear it's orange. O_o Like, reddy orange.
Maybe one of us is just colourblind. :P
Huh. Cat says it's red.
Apparently it's just me. Huh.
(HA! AHAHAHA ITS FINALLY DONE
IT THOUGHT IT COULD GET ME DOWN
THINK AGAIN MOTHER TRUCKERS!)
(Well done, Chloe.)
(Thanks 🙈)
(..*pats chloes head*
*hugs kas*)
(*nods at Jaimie*)
(*hugs everyone*)
( I have two very bright orange things and two of my walls are red along with my laptop and ipod and chair... I think I can distinguish )
(ehehe :P *hugs chloe back *)
("the only supernatural thing in that show is how they manage to draw a perfect circle every demon trap" : )
(I'm a celeb tonight!!!)
(I'm almost scared to ask, but what are the two orange things?)
(Hello Bru!
*is so not drinking wine*)
(hey!)
(How art thou?)
@Chloe: :)! Well done!
(Thanks Seren *huggles*)
(a little melancholic, to be honest. There's a forest at the bottom of my garden. a wee burn, lots of trees. its like something out of a fairy tail. the storm that's hitting us tore up one of the oldest trees, a big beautiful beech, and threw it down like a dead twig. Its been there since before I was born. I used to climb on it and talk to it.
I spent half an hour out in the wind trying to right it, I even cut off the bigger branches to try and make it lighter. but its still too heavy. Its weighing other trees down, so I'm going to have to cut it up. I don't even like looking out the window at it because I just feel sad.)
(hurricane Abigail sucks.)
(ah, well. it was nice while it lasted. I managed to take a cutting and graft it, so the tree'll live on. I'm going to plant the sapling on the same spot as before. A fresh start.)
(nawwww *huggles* I am sorry to hear that :()
( why were you scared... my phone and my headphones )
@hak (I dunno. Its you...?)
( lol ((joke happens) were you scared you were one of the orange things :P )
( also sad to hear about the tree... Bawbag was worse as my fence is still in one piece )
(not until now!)
(yeah, its not much fun.
In September, just as the leaves turned, when the sun hit it, it looked like it was on fire. Really pretty...
But the tree's not dead. its still there, in that cutting. The rest of it'll decay, and whatever life is left in it will go back into the forest. It'll feed flowers and grasses. New life, born out of a dead giant. The sapling will take nourishment from that too. So its not so sad, I suppose.)
(the weather isn't so bad here
but then again I haven't left the house in two days)
(*sits in the corner*)
(you ok Gaj? )
(I'M A CELEB IS BACK XD XD XD)
(I am fine *crosses arms*)
(Struan i'm sorry about your tree.
Btw do you prefer Struan or Bruadar?
And are the plans for 2020 still going? for the housing thing you told us about?)
(And i missed Matex-sama ;-;
-sits in the corner and cries-
I miss him...)
(-hugs Gemmy in the corner-)
(*hugs Gemmy*)
(Thanks. Trees are nice.
Either or is fine, I really don't mind. Whichever comes first.
Looks like it. I managed to make contact with some people in the housing department and I'm working to get them on side. I've got some time, but not much else.
Still, we fight on regardless. If nothing else I'm going to cripple them with red tape.
(*goes searching for a cat*)
(Can we kill them? oh please please can we kill them?
Hey ser -hugs tightly-)
(if i run out of ideas, then that's definitely plan B.)
(*hugs tightly back*)
(Struan you know i'll fully support you. If you're going to go to their offices or whatever, tell me and i'll join you.
If you want to tie yourself to a tree so they don't start wrecking stuff, i will also be tied to a tree.)
(*hugs gemmy*)
(Hey Jai, continue?)
(@Saoirse sure, you resume.)
(*cries* how come I'm the only one without a talking cat?)
Flo: *can't be bothered to argue*
Fine, I'll heal Velvet afterwards, deal?
Velvet: No deal!
Flo: Shut it Vel.
Velvet: *sighs*
Felix: *Comes back with sam* Kiana?
Kiana: *nods*
*looks at Felix*
*-Stay!-*
*looks at Flo expectantly*
(Chloe?)
Felix: okay
((yes?))
Flo: *holds her hands over Kiana's leg and begins to heal it*
(I didn't realise that was you sorry! *huggles*)
(I dedicate to anyone that was injured or killed by any of the events that occurred on Friday 13th of November 2015, as well as their families and friends.)
