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.

Harry : * walks after her knowing they are going to the class and may need to talk*

*she leads Chione down a passage, emerging in a room with a tank in the centre* Get in!

(Yes, you can, Jaimie.)
Chione: -glances over the tank wondering what the game will be-
-wishes she had her powers-
-if she could freeze the water that would be game over...-
Heyo
Ila: *she laughs* I know what you're thinking, but your powers ain't going to work! Fine then, since you're being uncooperative I'll lift you in myself. *she lifts Chione up, pushing her into the tank*
(Hello, Edward.)
Sil: *sees chi*
CHI!!!
AU!Sil: *looks up quickly*
Chione?
How many can play??
Ila: Three can play at this game!
Claire: I volunteer. I mean, my enhanced brain might come in useful if it's a puzzle.
Hey soph
Sil: I volunteer!!!
AU!Sil: So do I..
(Jack!)
*rocks Tegan back and forth*
( hjhay?)
-the others see Chi-
-Westly is speachless-
Tsu: Sis! Oh god no...
Cord: Oh Chi...
Blair: Shit.
Cam: -glares at lla-
Chloe!!!!
Hey k
Ila: The game will commence in one minute! I just have to go and prepare the audience! This will be one hell of a game. A must-see! I just know it! *she laughs, skipping off down the passage - back to the hostages* *she takes a needle of liquid from a table in the corner of the room - injecting the twins with it, half each - to wake them up*
Wes: I want to play too...
-tsu also wants to play but knows he'll be useless-
(*kisses Jack*)
*kisses Chloe*
Sooo....
-the twins wake up, a little hazy still-
-They watch their mum on the tv nervously-
Chione: -Calms her breathing looking around the tank-
(Rp Jack?)
( I like how you knew that was to you ;P did you get all of it out did you think spelling mistake?)
Sil: Four of us can't play..
AU!Sil: We don't need two vampires.
Sil: Then I'll go
AU!Sil: Like hell you will.
Sil: I've known her longer.
AU!Sil: You deserted her.
Sil: *snarls*
You can go to Hell. You got caught in the first place.
AU!Sil: You can't even protect your wife!!!
Sil: *lunges at her, tackling her*
Sure, where did you put ed?
I got it, I'm fine thanks k, you?
Ila: Wakey wakey! I wish I could say it's a good morning for you two, but your mommy is going to die! It's a fantastic morning for me. *she laughs, skipping back to the game* So, step into the little room!
(Hey Jacko)
Amy: -waits with Harry for Sarah-
(I haven't used him
He is where inly is
Tegan just been saved)
Claire: *she raises her pistol at AU!Sil* Get away from my mother.
(The twins have to step into the little room?)
Wes: Guys stop fighting. We don't have a lot of time...lla's back.
(No, those playing the game.)
AU!Sil: *growls at Claire, pinning Sil face first against the stone*
Sil: *moves while AU!Sil is distracted, rolling and using her legs to dislocate AU!Sil's shoulder, throwing her across the room*
*looks very pissed*
(Oh ok. Got confused there :)
Hey jai, How's you?
Thanks ^.^
Ed: *sits with inky*
Claire: *her eyes glow white, and she sweeps her hands to the side - knocking AU!Sil and Silente backwards, pinning them against opposite walls* This is not the time for fighting. Do you want to save Chione or not?
Ila: What's this? Conflict? *she fake-gasps* Who'd have thought it? Then again... that's what happens when two mutants are in close proximity to one another!
Harry: Have you ever been to England?
Rich:* gets into the rust bucket sad*
( I'm way better now after texting gem, had a terrible day tbh felt like knocking my lecturer out.)
*leans into ed*
Tegan: *clings to ed*
Sil: CLAIRE! Let me go THIS INSTANT!!! We need to get in there!!!
AU!Sil: *is glaring at Sil*
(At least your alright now though k)
Ed: *puts arm round inky and laughs weakly at Tegan*
Claire: Urgh. Fine. *she lets them both go* But no fighting, okay?
*she walks into the little room where the game is happening*
Ed... When it's ben turn, can you help him?
-Wes runs in after Claire-
Sil: *hisses at AU!Sil and bolts for the door*
AU!Sil: *runs straight after her but is a step too slow*
*growls loudly*
Cam: -heart beats faster now that his brother made it in-
Shit.
Ed: Of course honey
Amy: No, i've never been before now.
Have you?
*shakes* thank you
Ed: *keeps inky close* of course I will
Harry: I've been to Blackpool once, last year. It was nice, I could live there.
Ila: And here are the three contestants! How about a new version of an old trick, hm? Before you, your dear little friend is trapped inside a tank, which will fill to the top with water. At the bottom of the tank, there's a ten number combination. Guess the combination right, and the water will drain and Chione will live! But you only have two guesses. Get it wrong on your second attempt and boom, explosives at the bottom of the tank will explode and kill her. *she laughs* You might want to think quickly! I don't think she'll be able to hold her breath for so long!
Oh, right, you want the numbers, don't you? *she laughs*
Okay, then.
Let's say... one, one, one, two, eight, eight, eight, thirteen, fifteen and... seventeen? No, wait, nineteen. Or maybe fifteen... *she frowns* Wow, I really can't make up my mind. Which is my favourite number? Oh, what the hell, I'll go for fifteen! *she laughs* Now, these numbers may not be in the right order. So choose carefully!
*a tear runs down her face* I want our family together again
Tegan: mommy...
Ed: it will be, ok, don't worry tegan, you'll get your brother soon
Tegan: really daddy? *looks up to him*
Sil: WHAT?!?!
*stares, hands starting to shake*
*walks to the tank, laying a hand flat against it, looking at Chi*
D-don't worry.. we'll get you out..
Chione: 10? Bloody hell. She really wants to kill me.
-laughs uneasily-
Lucas: at least she's laughing...
Wes: Chi!
Chi: Westly! Sil! Glad you could make it.
Ed: of course, have I ever let yo- *stops* of course
Ila: And... go! *the tank starts to fill*
Claire: Oh, come on. This has to be easier than she's making out, otherwise there'd be no challenge. She said they might not be in the right order, so it's going to be forwards or backwards, right? We have two guesses, so one has to be right, and it doesn't matter which, does it?
Tegan: I love you daddy
Sil: *looks at Claire*
And how certain of that are you.
Chi: There is no way it's going to only be those two combinations.
-glances at the water filling up but tries to concentrate-
Ed: you too tegan, you too...
Claire: It's just a hunch. She did put some emphasis on "may" didn't she? If they weren't in the right order, she'd say so. But she didn't deny it, which means there's going to have to be a reason behind it, isn't there?
Chi: There are too many combinations for me to work out...
Sil: *lays her forehead against the glass*
*thinks quickly*
Sometimes the simple answers are the best.. try it backwards. 15,15,13,8,8,8,2,1,1..
*the tank is about half-full by now*
(**2,1,1,1)
Claire: That's what I'd do, personally.
*smiles at ed* I love you
Ed: I love you too...
Sil: How do we input our guess..?
Claire: She said there's a number combination... maybe it's inside? Maybe Chione has to input it?
Sil: *looks at Chi*
Dunk your head under.
Wes: Right just try it. It's half-full now...we're running out of time.
Chione: Great.
-takes in a breatb and swims to the bottom of the tank-
Puts in the numbers backeards as quickly as she can and seims back up-
*hugs him*
Tegan; *pouts* I want a new brother
*the tank flashes red, showing an incorrect answer*
*the tank quickly fills up to the top, as the incorrect answer sped up the filling process*
Claire: Forwards?
Chi: -takes a deep breath when it gets to the top-
-Wes puts his hand on the tank-
-Chi touches the other side-
Wes: We trying forwards or not?
Sil: *whimpers, staring*
*swallows throat bobbing*
Chi.. i-its up to you if we do it forwards..
Chi: -gestures that she doesn't have a lot of time-
Wes: Someone decide!
Claire: There can't be any other option... can there? All the games have been simple. There would be no way she'd make it unsolvable...
Ed: *laughs* you what tegan?
Claire: *she sighs* I vote forwards. Anything else would be too complicated, and I think she thinks we're stupid.
Sil: Shes a mad woman of course she would!!!
*clenches her fists, tempted to try smash the glass*
Sil: I'm not voting. Listen to Claire..
Claire: I can solve a Rubik's cube in under ten seconds... I think this is the right answer.
-Chi nods and swims to the bottom to try the code she gave-
-Stares at Wes and Sil-
-smiles-
Tegan; I'm bored of Ben! And he's bossy!
Claire: Please be right, please be right...
Ed: he's your brother *laughs*
Sil: *whimpers, staring*
Tegan: but...
Now Tegan... You can't just ask for that
Tegan: but...
Ed: well, if Regan reeaaally wants one... Eh inky?
Chi: -puts both hands on the glass-
-Wes puts his hand back and stares at her, smiling-
-mouths- you'll be ok.
Maybe *bluses slightly* but let's focus on getting Ben back okay?
Tegan; awkay!
Claire: *she crosses her fingers*
-the twins wait and watch the tank-
Mummy...
(Nos da)
Ed: of course.. when's he up?
Nos da...
(Bye Chloe)
Tsu: oh gods please...
Cord: Come on...
*the tank begins to pulsate white*
Sil: *is waiting for the tank to explode or not explode*
*Chi has put the code in right?*
Sil: *blinks, looking at the light*
White..? What does white mean..
-chi is running out of breath-
-looks confused at the light-
If anyone watches Shadowhunters or plans to?
I thibk it sucked. I shouted wtf that never happened more often then I would have expected.
Magnus was the only character I enjoyed and was true to the books.
Claire: Does that mean... I've done it?
*the tank flashes red once, before the explosives detonate - turning the water crimson inside the tank, killing Chione, spreading her body parts throughout the water*
(Idk what's going to happen right now. The suspence is killing Chi. Literally.)
Sil: *sees the flash a moment before the explosion*
NO!!!!
*pounds against the glass once, then it goes boom*
*stares, wide eyed*
(Ah there we go.)
Wes: -chokes-
-falls to his knees-
W-w-hat...
-The twins scream-
MUMMY!!!!!!!
-They burst out crying-
Tsu: CHIONE!
-Cord feels like she's going to throw up and looks away-
Cam: -has tears in his eyes- chi...
Blair: Oh my gods...
( yay!!! Brilliant timing lol :P muhahaha
Oh wait shouldn't be happy... Would be happier if the thing had happened lol )
Claire: *she moves her hand over her mouth* Oh my god... I thought... That was the only option... *she calls out, angrily* You made it unsolvable, didn't you?
Ila: *she laughs through the intercom* Oh, please. It was perfectly solvable. In fact, it has the most ironic password in existence. Turn each number into the corresponding letter, solve the anagram and bang - the combination spells out "BOOM HAHAHA". *she laughs* Pretty funny, right?
Sil: *can't stop staring*
*there's a loud, angry silence in her head*
*along with a loud, angry worry and panic*
*whimpers quietly, shaking*
(I'm actually quite upset right now...feel like crying.)
Ila: It really wasn't that hard. You did it on purpose, didn't you? Come on, you can tell me. Grudges are natural, after all!
Now. There is only one question. Would either the real mutant or the copy mutant like a smoothie? If you're really lucky you might find her head in there somewhere!
(*whispers* Angry vampire need be restrained before angry vampire try kill Ila and get whole museum blown up..)
(* hugs gemmy* don't be sad...)
Claire: *she places her hand on Silente's shoulder* ... Are you okay?
Sil: *slides her eyes slowly towards Ila, a low, low growl rumbling in her throat, her arms shaking in rage, in disgust, in bloodlust*
-Lira throws up-
S-switch it off...
-Lucas tries to switch off the TV-
Sil: *glances at Claire, eyes almost empty of emotion other than rage and despair*
(If she had lived, she would have gotten with Westly or Cam. But one of the twins would have died so she would have broken...i just left it up to Soph. Either way she had no real plotline anymore...)
Ila: *she holds up the detonator for the bombs underneath the museum* Play nice! Remember, I have the Pastry woman! And I might just choose her next, and do a really unsolvable puzzle. *she laughs, disappearing down a passage - sealing it*
Claire: ... Mom?
(Vampire disagree. Vampire not happy.)
-Wes collapses to the floor-
The twins...they were asleep, right?
Sil: *bares her teeth, tensing up at Ila's words, growling louder*
*shakes her head, closing her eyes*
*has to force out the words*
Claire, go stop the other one from killing everyone.
*walks to the tank and just.. collapses, curling up beside it*
AU!Sil: *is hissing loudly from the corner, knives drawn, stalking towards the room*
Claire: I hope they were, for their sakes...
Claire: *she nods* *she walks out of the room, blocking the entrance*
AU!Sil: *looks down at Claire*
Move. Now.
-kneels on the ground next to Sil and cries-
After this was over...i was going to tell her i loved her...
-sniffs-
I didn't want to get in the way of her and Blake.
-doesn't dare look up-
Claire: *she raises her pistol at AU!Sil* No.
Sil: *looks at Wes slightly*
*whimpers but gently pulls him closer, letting him lean against her*
AU!Sil: move or I'll snap your neck, brat
( * messed up* ... *leaves to contemplate shtuff-)
Claire: *she cocks the hammer on her pistol* Take one more step and your brains will be all over the wall. *her eyes start to glow white*
AU!Sil: *bares her teeth and moves with vampire speed, aiming a knife at Claire's gut*
-hugs Sil on the floor-
-Tsu lays on the grass outside crying-
I just met her...now she's gone.
-Cord walks over and slaps him, tears in her eyes too-
Get a grip! We haven't lost everything. We need to save the twins. They're the last peices of her. And they're in right now waiting for their mum to save them. That isn't going to happen. So they're uncle has to be there for them. Okay?
Claire: *she knife stops centimetres away from her skin, held back by her telekinesis* *she tilts her head, the knife turning to aim at AU!Sil's stomach instead* If you're after someone to blame for what happened to her, then blame me. I'm the one who suggested the codes. You aren't going in there.
Sil: *hugs him gently, because she understands that he'll need comfort*
*sinks deeper into that numb part of herself, the part that protects her*
AU!Sil: *slides for her throat with the other knife*
Claire: *she ducks, shooting AU!Sil in the foot with her pistol, pushing her back with her telekinesis*
AU!Sil: *hisses, sigils all over her body flaring to life*
Move before she kills anyone else with this ludicrous game!!!
(What did you do keiron?)
Claire: So you can kill everyone in this museum with your ludicrous stupidity? No. *she raises her pistol again* She has bombs underneath the museum, remember? Even if I put a bullet in your head, less people will die than if you screw everything up.
AU!Sil: *hisses at her**
I hope you're mother dies a slow and painful death, you brat.
( (1135 ....)
(He didn't do anything. He just thinks he did.)
(Okay..?)
( .... I did... I was happy because I thought that's what you wanted... Now I feel like a dick, a stupid fat dick...
Btw Harry said he's been to Blackpool once. )
Claire: What, are you sore because you were just beaten in a fight by a kid? Don't you have someone else you can annoy?
AU!Sil: Mm. I'm going to enjoy watching her kill the angel, and watching the vampire give up on everything.
*walks off*
Claire: *she steps behind AU!Sil quietly, aiming with her pistol - shooting at AU!Sil's lower leg as she walks away*
AU!Sil: *cries out slightly at the unexpected shot, leg buckling slightly*
*growls, glaring at Claire*
Sil: *shifts, slowly removing her daggers, laying them all out around her*
*gets out her sharpening equipment, starting to systematically sharpen the blades, envisioning what wound each would be best for inflicting upon someone*
-The twins sit on the floor and face away from the TV, cuddling into each other-
Wes: -looks to Sil- You're going to try and kill her?
Amy: Cool.
Claire: Be nasty to one parent, that's just emotion. Be nasty to both my parents, and that's a death wish. Say something like that again, and I'll make sure you never walk for the rest of your life.
Sil: *continues to sharpen*
*quietly*
Not now. When this is over, and no one is in this building. Just me and her. Her and me.
*listens to the whine of the blade being sharpened, letting it distract her*
Harry: I hope you like it... If you like it then it'll all be worth while.
Wes: nods: -wipes his face and looks up at the tank-
-grips Sil's arm-
AU!Sil: *turns to face her*
Grow up kid. Parents are worthless.
Amy: But i won't have you guys...
Harry: * smiles half heartedly* you'll make new friends... Plus you'll see me again, you promised * smiles properly nudging her a little before bringing her into a right hug*
Sil: *pauses*
She may be gone, but time travel is not, nor are alternate worlds.
*sharpens one of her swords*
Claire: Only yours, actually. *she walks back into the room, closing the door*
(tight*)
Wes: No. Look.
-her head comes into view, her eyes wide open-
Sil: *glances up at Claire*
*nods her head very slightly before going back to her sharpening*
When Bethany comes, we are not letting her die.
Sil: *doesn't look at the head*
*she knows she fail*
*she doesn't need proof*
Claire: No, of course not. What are you doing?
Amy: -Hugs-
-Sarah comes out and she calls her over-
-Sarah says goodbye to her friends and comes over-
Amy: How was your last day?
Sarah: good but sad. I'll miss them. Yours?
Amy: Same...but a bit more eventful.
Sarah: -looks confused but doesn't question it-
-they walk home with Harry-
Sil: Sharpening the blades. I let them grow dull.
*along with my senses, my mind, my instincts*
*tightens her grip, glaring at the blade while sharpening it*
Wes: -looks away and sighs-
By saying that, are you saying we just let Chi die?
We tried our best...lla killed her.
You said there was timetravel...can't we go back and save her?
(It would have been boring if someone didn't die...
-laughs, tears in her eyes-)
Harry: * tries to talk to Sarah and relate with her somehow but fails his best attempt being a whimsical ohh siblings ehh type of joke* - holds hands with Amy squeezing - you'll do fine in England, I know it, back before I can say, no spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious * smiles to her letting her lead him towards her soon to be ex home*
Sil: That would make a paradox.
Can we bring her back.
( * hugs gemmy tightly* I'm sorry baby....)
Amy: Yeah, i guess.
(I will be leaving now.)
