Ah, 2015. What a year you've been.
A lot of people would take this opportunity to compile a Best Of list... and I am no different. And so, without further ado...
Best New Horror: It Follows
Jaw-droppingly good. A wickedly smart throwback to horror movies from the 80s. Bliss.
Best New Addition to a Franchise From Far, Far Away: The Force Awakens
Good GOD I loved this. It has heart, soul, warmth and grit — a huge departure from the prequels and a wonderful continuation from the original trilogy. I couldn't have done it better myself.
(Well, I could have, but they didn't ask, so...)
Best TV Show: The Walking Dead
This was a close one, with Game of Thrones running a tight second, but its White Walker mayhem was matched by episode upon episode of zombie thrills. And unlike GoT, I didn't know where The Walking Dead was going to end up...
Creepiest Horror Seen on Blu-Ray: Sinister
Oh I love a good creepy horror, and this hit the spot.
Most Disappointing Horror: The Babadook
I don't get it. I just don't.
Best New Addition to a Franchise Thought Long Dead: Fury Road
A car chase that lasts an entire movie. How awesome is that? Not as feminist as I'd been led to believe, but still a thousand times more awesome than most other movies.
Best YA novel: The Rest of Us Just Live Here, by Patrick Ness
Get this book. Read this book. Love this book.
I didn't get to see all the movies I wanted to, didn't get to watch all the TV I wanted to (Ash Vs The Evil Dead and Jessica Jones being top of my To Watch list), and definitely didn't get to read all the books I wanted to, but all in all 2015 was a good year.
Next year is going to be busy. I've got the second Demon Road book out at the very end of March and the third and final one out in September. But I've learned my lesson, oh yes. No more six month publication schedules for ME, boy howdy. A lot of things have suffered as a result of this workload (that still isn't over, by the way) and I want to get back to a nice and healthy communication routine with you, my lovely Minions.
2016 is going to be FUN.

Alice : *slips away and skips^
Tresha: Of course I'm happy, what is there to be upset about?
*doesn't notice Alice leaving*
Alice: *leaves the cottage*
Flauros; I don't know...
Tresha: *smiles, moving closer and kissing him very quickly and nervously*
Flauros: *blinks and goes red*
Tresha: *smiles to herself, looking away, blushing*
*chews her lips*
Flauros: what is that?
Tresh what is what?
Flauros; that... Thing... Just now... You know... *pulls her close and presses his lips against hers*
Tresha: *blushes bright red, shivering, closing her eyes to lean closer*
Flauros; *pulls away quickly* what is that?
Tresha: *also whimpers as he moves away*
It's a kiss?
Flauros; a kiss... Why is it so.. Appealing *lowers eye lids slowly*
Tresha: *blushes, swallowing*
It just.. is..
Flauros: can I,.. Do that again..,?
Tresha: *nods, not daring to breathe*
*is pretty sure she's dreaming*
*or hallucinating*
*maybe she's gone crazy*
*she'll wake up in a second and blush and be embarrassed about how ludicrous her minds imaginings are*
*but for now..*
Flauros; *leans close and kisses*
*has great idea*
*giggles*
Tresha: *kisses him back, closing her eyes and leaning against him*
*uh oh*
*that can't be good*
Flauros; *growls under breath and keeps kissing*
Tresha: *blushes at his growl, pressing against him, cat ears flicked back against her head, smiling, continuing to kiss him*
Flauros; *runs hand down her back*
Tresha: *shivers*
*brushes her tail against his arm, wrapping it round him slightly*
Flauros; *breaks away, breathing heavily*
Tresha: *sighs happily, leaning against his chest*
Flauros: *wraps arms around her* shall we go out?
Tresha: *nods, smiling broadly, very happy*
Flauros; *gets up*
Tresha: *stands up as well, chewing her lip*
*closes her eyes, the fur sinking back into her skin, the cat ears fading, her cat reforming on her shoulder*
Flauros: *leads her to the kitchen*
Tresha: *walks with him, stroking the kitty_
Flauros; what do you want to do,
Tresha: Whatever you want?
Flauros; I like the outside ...
Tresha: Then let's go out

Flauros; okay *smilrd*
Tresha: *walks out with him, smiling*
Felix, *is walking across their path*
Flauros; *calls out* hello there!
Felix; uh... Hi?
Flauros: *storms over there and kisses Felix*
Tresha: *stares at Flauros kissing Felix, grinning, a laugh bubbling up*
*coughs, choking on her laughter*
Felix; *pushes him away* look man, I don't play that way *walks away fast
Flauros; *frowns* that was different
Tresha: *is on the floor, clutching her sides, laughing almost hysterically, silently, trying to stop, tears streaming down her cheeks*
Flauros: *frowns and looks at her* what is it?
Tresha: *gasps, wiping at her eyes, struggling to breathe*
Flauros: all I did was kiss him..
Tresha: *gulps down air, shaking with the remnants of her laughter*
Flauros: are you okay?
Tresha: *nods, struggling to her feet, sighing and relaxing slightly*
Flauros: *looks perplexed*
Tresha: Kissing is a seen as a sign of affection..
Flauros; affection...?
Tresha: Yeah, like.. romantic affection?
Flauros: is that why it felt good with you?
Tresha: *blushes, smiling*
Maybe..
Flauros; *blushes* what happens when one feels affection towards a person?
Tresha: That depends on the people..
Flauros; there is much I do not understand.,, I am feeling... 'Romantic affection' for you
Tresha: *blushes, smiling shyly*
You.. should talk to a male about this..
Flauros; I do not know another man
Tresha: There has to be one person you know..? Even Felix..?
Flauros; *smirks* I don't think he will talk to me now...
Tresha: *laughs slightly*
No, he probably won't. Do you know any other guys?
Flauros: that kid...
[sneezes]
I sometimes wonder if I'm too skeptical sometimes.
However, I've been given two versions of the truth, and the latter makes much more sense, all things considering.
I'm sorry |~||=_|~|||=_-||=~==:=||||-||||:|==:=_-||==||||>
Tresha: That kid?
(*cuddles Fabi*)
Have you read "Allegory of the Cave" from Plato's Republic
(Hiya Fab!)
Flauros: I can't remember his name....:::::::::....
(No? I haven't heard of it either)
Tresha: Oh. Well maybe you can find him round somewhere?
Flauros: let's look!
Tresha: Okay
*takes his hand, walking with him*
Flauros: *looks around*
Michael: *is with Ila..*
Flauros: *frowns* he is always near by...
Tresha: Maybe he's just busy? He could be with a girl!
Flauros : ... He wanted to leave this place
Tresha: Oh..
Flauros; oh well... It is just us two
Tresha: I don't mind that
Flauros: you know, *tilts her chin* Everyone found me... Frightening in heaven
Tresha: frightening? Why?
*smiles up at him*
Flauros; I'm ruthless and harsh,,, is that okay with you?
Tresha: You aren't ruthless or harsh..
*places her hand over his*
You're gently, and very confused.
*grins*
Flauros; I'm not gentle *theres a hint of sadness in his eyes*
( note to self cut throat razors are called that for a reason ... F***ing sharp)
(Are you okay?!)
(Keiron are you okay??)
Tresha: You are with me..
*goes up on tip toes, kissing him gently*
( yeh just bleeding a little need to get used to shaving this way lol)
Flauros: *picks her up and kisses*
(*rolls eyes* Clumsy boy.)
Tresha: *smiles, wrapping her arms around his neck gently*
Flauros: thank you *a tear slides down his face*
( I know it sounds stupid but I didn't expect it to cut that well so I kinda did it too hard and cut my face lol but I'll clean up and spritz with aftershave and I'll be fine lol ....
How's you two?)
(I is good
My hair dresser uses a razor to cut my hat ^,^)
( I've used duller knives and scalpels lol but oh no lets make the face razor the sharpest and likeliest to kill you hehe I like it! Makes sense to me hehe
Your hat?)
(Hair XD )
( yeh my barber uses one on my sideburns and hair line :) :P
XD I was wondering lol)
(I think I should put more pink in my hair...)
( then why don't you?
Gem still wants to go candyfloss pink but her parents are kinda like do highlights or something first to make sure as you'll be stuck with it for a while)
(Maybe I will
There is hair dye that washes out after a couple of washes)
Tresha: *gently kisses the tear, tasting the salt on her lips*
Thank you too..
( she's got very dark hair so that prob wouldn't work... Need to bleach first)
(I see... Makes sense)
Flauros : for what?
Tresha: *smiles*
Not being weirded out by me?
*her cat jumps onto his head*
Flauros: compared to the beasts I've seen you are practically normal
Tresha: Will you tell me about them one day?
*the cat jumps onto his shoulder, licking his face*
Glauros; *grimaces* sure
Tresha: Thank you..
*the cat purs, rubbing its face against his cheek*
Flauros; what is she doing...?
Tresha: she likes you..
Flauros; so furry...
(It is a shame that this place is empty...
Good night.)
((I always wonder if anyone else is insane or desperate or cool enough to be watching this cosy little nook of the deep, dark internet at this very late/early hour. It is to me, anyway, I live in GMT 0. Only two places on the globe have that time zone. Take a guess. Or, as I've been told, 'hi' is also good way to start a conversation. So, person/being who may not even exist, hi.))
(-hums to self-
I do really want pink hair...)
((...))
((HELLO PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))
((So..))
(Oh hello dark eyes
I'm from the UK. Scotland.)
( then do it baby... Your 18 now, if you don't like it which I find hard to believe then you could always die back)
(* dye)
Harry: Amy?... What happened?
Amy: you and Richard started fighting...
Are you ok?
(*sniffles* waking up an then the coldness of your room gives you the sniffles is the worst way to wake up .)
Tresha: *smiles*
She is very fluffy.. She likes you.
*the cat purs, continuing to rub her head against his face*
Harry: I'm fine, my arm feels like its on fire but I'm fine .... Did he win?
Amy: -Shakes her head-
-turns round to Richard, not moving and blood all over his face-
-gets up and finds a cloth, wets it and starts wiping his face to get some of it off-
-does the same for Harry-
I tried to stop you...your arm burnt me.
-shows him the red patches on her arms-
-The bell rings but she stays where she is'
Rich:* coughs blood when stirred by the cold cloth*
Harry: * opens his eyes and sees a blurry Amy wiping us both but can't quite see the marks yet* how did I burn you?
To take from the Earth..
is to nourish thy self and others.
To feel the Wind..
is to be free and enjoy all life.
To light a Flame..
is to find your way in the dark.
To dance in the Rain..
is to bathe in the tears she can no longer hold back.
To know the Spirit..
is to take in all Elements and live life in harmony.
Do you know the Spirit?
( no?)
...
( hey jack)
Amy: I don't know...your adm was just really really warm...
Flauros; she does?
Tresha: *smiles*
Definitely.. very much.
Mac: *is at the bar, eyes flashing from face to face, listening to every conversation, watching ever transaction, every drunk move and flirt*
Flauros: *smiles slightly*
Alice: *enters the bar and orders a cider*
Harry: *Almost laughs* next you'll tell me a threw fire at rich.
Tresha: *takes his hand, nudging his side gently*
Mac: *his eyes flitter to her face and he checks his watch - he had to be back soon, the hounds were coming*
*glances around again*
Flauros; you are an interesting woman, Tresha
Alice: *sits on the table next to Mac*
*sips her drink and sighs^
Tresha: *blushes slightly, smiling broadly*
You're interesting too..
Mac: *raises an eyebrow, watching her closely*
*nods at her, a brief jerk of his chin, eyes flickering round the room again*
(Chloe what was the spirit thing earlier?)
(It was a poem I rea earlier that I liked)
Flauros; how do?
Alice: *calls to him* hey, why so nervous?
( ok... Lol I thought it a riddle )
Tresha: You just have so many.. layers..
*smiles*
Mac: *narrows his eyes at her slightly, assessing her*
*he's shaking slightly, just his hands*
How's the drink?
(No XD
Tonight is a new moon...)
Flauros; you think?
Alice: honestly? *leans forward and whispers* not the nicest
(Cool!)
Tresha: Yeah..
Mac: *smiles, leaning closer*
If you want, I can hook you up with something stronger.
Flauros; *squeezes her hand*
Alice: like...?
Tresha: *squeezes his hand back, smiling happily*
Mac: Whatever you want.
*grins*
Interested?
Flauros: this attraction thing is scary...
Alice: tell me more
Tresha: It is..?
Mac: Not here. Come out back, I think my boss would like to meet you.
Flauros; I've never been so unsure...
Alice; your boss?
Amy: -tenses and looks away-
-wipes the blood that richard coughed up-
Richard?
Tresha: I'm sorry..
Mac: Yeah, he handles the goods.
Flauros: why are you sorry? I'm the incompetent one..
Alice: let's meet this boss of yours
Tresha: You aren't incompetent!
*stops him, taking his face between her hands, scowling*
Mac: Follow me.
*stands, walking to the back door*
*heads into the alley way*
Flauros; *blinks*
Alice: *hesitates but follows*
Tresha: You are not incompetent. Okay?
Mac: *stops at the end of the alley, at a door*
*knocks quietly*
*the door opens and hushed words are exchanged*
*he nods at Alice and walks through the door*
Rich: * smiles blood coming from where his tooth used to be along with the hole in his cheek * yeh?...
Flauros; I'm not?
Alice: *follows closely behind*
Tresha: No, you aren't.
Malmo: *is suddenly there, slamming Alice's back against the wall, a knife held a hairs breadth away from her eye*
Mac: Hey!
*a low chuckle can be heard from behind a curtain which separates the entry room from the bedroom*
Alice: *squeaks* t that's not nice...
Flauros: thank you
Malmo: *keeps her pinned against the wall*
Matter: *comes out from behind the curtain, ginger hair vibrant and burning, smiling at Alice, green eyes shining*
New recruit Mac?
Mac: *nods quickly*
She's here to buy.
Matter: Good. Malmo, let the girl go.
Malmo: *narrows her eyes but lets her go, sheathing the dagger, blending back into the shadows*
Matter: *bows extravagantly to Alice, taking her hand and kissing it gently*
Hello m'dear.
Alice: h hello Sir...
Tresha: *kisses him gently*
Matty: *smiles*
Apologies for my sharp friend, she likes to protect. Now, what can I get for you?
Flauros; *kisses*
Alice: um... Your friend here said you could hook me up with something...
Tresha: *takes his hand again*
Matty: And he'd be right, for the right price of course. What is it you want?
Flauros: I feel like i could do that all day
Alice: I... I don't know... I've never done this before...
Tresha: *smiles, leaning against him gently*
Me too..
Matty: Hmmm.. something soft then. Relaxing maybe..
*nods*
I have what you need. May I ask, what type of baked good is your favourite?
Flauros: I will only kiss you
Alice; okay... *thinks* cookies
Tresha: *blushes slightly, smiling*
That's probably for the best.
Matty: *nods and gestures at Mac to go fetch the produce*
*smiles at Alice, a gentleman's smile*
Now, payment. First time is half price.
Flauros; I don't think everyone likes kissing people...
Alice; *smiles* how much?
Tresha: Everyone might not like kissing you, but they probably like or would like kissing someone at some point.
Matty: £10 for 10 cookies.
Mac: *comes back with a tub of 10 freshly baked cookies*
*obviously they aren't normal cookies*
Flauros: so you're o my allowed to kiss one person... Got it
Alice: that's a good price *giggles excitedly and pulls out her purse*
*gives mat two £5 notes* these really help to relax?
Tresha: *smiles, kissing him gently*
Matty: *takes the money, making it disappear up his sleeve*
You'll be the most relax you've been for a while. Hint though? Pace yourself. Wouldn't want you taking too much.
Flauros; *kisses* what happens now?
Alice: *salutes* okay *smiles* you must be a talented baker
Tresha: What do you want to happen now?
Matty: *laughs*
Oh, you should see my tea parties.
*chuckles*
Now, run along somewhere safe now little Alice, and be sure to keep those cookies safe.
Flauros; what does one do in this situation
Alice: *holds the cookies close to her and curtsies* thank you mister *leaves*
Tresha: Walk? Talk? Relax.. get to know each other..
Flauros: okay, I think I can do that
Tresha: *swings her arm gently, humming happily to herself*
*the cat meows, on edge*
*the cat is somewhat linked to Alice's parrot, it knows when Alice is in danger*
Flaurous; *tries to copy the humming but it isn't as harmonious *
Alice: *is on her way home, parrot squawking* shhhh you!
Tresha: *smiles at his attempt anyway*
*glances at the cat*
What's wrong Chesh?
Cat: *hisses slightly, meowing*
Flauros: it seems troubled...
Tresha: she does..
*carefully lifts the cat off his shoulder, bonding with her in a flash, the fur covering her body*
*closes her eyes and frowns*
Flauros: what is it?
Tresha: Hmmm.. want to go home?
Flauros: okay
Tresha: *takes his hand, walking home with him*
Flauros; *squeezes her hand and walks*
Tresha: *uses her long legs to her advantage, hurrying*
Flauros; *walks fast*
Tresha: *sees the house, continuing her fast pace, a flash of light occuring and her for receading*
*the cat bolts for the house, long legs stretching*
flauros: Tresha?
Alice: *eats a cookie*
(When She Loved Me"
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
And when she was sad, I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy, so was I, when she loved me.
Through the summer and the fall, we had each other, that was all
Just she and I together, like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely, I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me.
So the years went by, I stayed the same
But she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, when she’d say "I will always love you."
Lonely and forgotten, never thought she’d look my way,
And she smiled at me and held me, just like she used to do,
Like she loved me, when she loved me
When somebody loved me, everything was beautiful,
Every hour we spent together, lives within my heart
When she loved me.
Toy story was on and I like this song even though it's sad)
(That's a nice song ^.^)
( I thought so too even if when its hastening on screen in like waaa don't leave her )
(*BURNS THE SONG CAUSE DAMMIT TS2 FEELS AND NOPE NOPE NOPE AND AHHHH* *curls up to cry*)
Tresha: Don't worry.
*the cat scratches at the door, meowing*
( it's ok jai she gets a new family! * hugs*)
(*sulks and hugs Jessie*
*STABS EMILY'S MUM AND CURSES EMILY FOR GROWING UP*)
Flauros; *opens te door*
Tresha: *walks in*
Alice?
*the cat runs straight to Alice*
Alice; *eats the rest of the cookie and hides the rest* hello !
Tresha: Alice! Are you okay..?
Cat: *meows, sniffing her, hissing slightly at the smell*
