Kony 2012

Hello there,

Do you have half an hour to spare? This doesn't have anything to do with me or my books. This has to do with changing the world. This has to do with helping people you've never met. At the end of the half hour, you don't have to do anything. You don't have to donate, or sign, or even share the video. You can if you want, but you don't have to. I'd just like you to KNOW. I'd like us all to be a part of this, to know what's going on in the world and to know that there are people who are determined to make a change. And I'd just like you to know the name Joseph Kony, who is more of a monster than I could ever create in my writing.

Val, it's about Kony 2012.

Ebony Law said...

Best weapon in a stationary kitchen: Paper cut, LEMON!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*sighs* Fine, Dylan.

Reflector said...

Hi everybody, I have to go now, be back... tomorrow? Donno...

Jakro Tintreach said...

Val, just entered your competition... but I created a new character... If possible, please put me in the actual ivy animosity story... or you could write a short story at the end

ps. I told someone about the Ivy Animosity story, and their gonna read it!!!

Ebony Law said...

Ta.






Derek, Val, Freakfan, Mist, Nixion, and much more. Not too long ago, we found out about the monstrosity called Joseph Kony. In fact, he's not a monster. He's a devil. He will kill for all he's worth. So help the poor children in Africa who are forced against their will. On April 19, we'll all go to sleep like ordinary. And then April 20, the world is changed FOREVER. When you wake up on April 20, you'll see Posters and Fliers EVERYWHERE you look. There will not be a person who doesn't know who Kony is. So let's work for his silence. Who are we to kill him? We have no right. But we have no choice. Kill one person or have over one million killed. So help to save the world from the World's worst, Joseph Kony.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I can't put you in the actual story. And the chances that you are in the short story aren't too great, and if you are, Ivy will certainly have something against you, because I do... Not to mention that I'm still not all that happy with you. So, if you aren't in it, don't feel bad. But I can probably get you in. But you can't be my rival murderer! NO ONE is on the same level of murdererness as me.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh, and Jakro? Thanks for getting someone else to read it.

Jakro Tintreach said...

how about a murderer who has tried to kill you?????... but got away because he fell of a cliff?

Zathract Mist said...

1st

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh my dear lord I wrote loads

Ebony Law said...

A murderer who tried to kill Ivy? Jakro, the murderer would have to have the personality of a mentally retarded three year old. Ivy will kick their butt with EXTREME ease.

Zathract Mist said...

Or not. Be back in ten

Jakro Tintreach said...

ok... someone who Ivy met and then pushed off a cliff

Ebony Law said...

No one would be stupid enough to say hi to an extremely pale girl who even looks like a raving murderous lunatic.

Robin Snowscar said...

It's 11:09 oops

Jakro Tintreach said...

thats why Ivy pushed him off a cliff

Robin Snowscar said...

Oh well

*sings it's the good ship lollipop*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

How about, Jakro, your character saw a picture of Ivy and then his friend scared him by screaming "IVY!" but you were standing by a cliff and fell off? That would be funny.

Robin Snowscar said...

It would be

Jakro Tintreach said...

or... that, used magic to turn himself into a block of ice, survived... and later met Ivy

Ebony Law said...

Or how about the character was doing the bridge-mustard-tomato-sauce prank and they squirted it on Ivy and she killed them?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Robin, I HAVE to put yours in because she wouldn't like Ivy and her bird jokes... *laughs evilly*

Ebony Law said...

Turned himself into a block of ice? What, was he hot?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

And even though it doesn't say it in the post I'm adding Zinnia Batty to the story... that way, you'll all have your character meet my friend Amanda in character form.

Robin Snowscar said...

I would be careful with the bird jokes. She wouldn't think before she hit you, she'd try to seriously injure you if were about robins.

Robin Snowscar said...

Hiya Zath

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

But Robin, Ivy is Ivy. She's gonna joke... But don't worry, Anomaly and Sparky are going to be there to stop Ivy from doing anything too bad.

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Robin.

I commented on the first page of a post! Yay.

*does a stupid dance*

Ebony Law said...

Uh, Zathract...

-Rubs eyes-

What is that?

Zathract Mist said...

Awkward silence part 3

Zathract Mist said...

Iunno.

By the way Dylan, I'm not angry with you anymore (in case I didn't tell you already)

I don't want to argue anymore

Ebony Law said...

"Who says I came alone?" Valkyrie said.
Skulduggery bursted into the room and punched Scapegrace in the jaw, and he did a little twirl before dropping.
"What took you so long?" Valkyrie asked angrily.
"I was tying my shoes. You know how dangerous that can be."
"I could have died because you were tying your shoes?"
"No, I was joking. I'm far too graceful for that."

Robin Snowscar said...

I swear to God, if Ivy even touches a bird in front of Robin she might have a mental fit.

Zathract Mist said...

Your comment vanished.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

THAT QUOTE WAS WRONG! THOSE ARE IN TWO SEPERATE CHAPTERS!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

She won't. She'll only joke around, I promise.

Ebony Law said...

Val...

Robin Snowscar said...

Yeah okay *shrugs* It's your face

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, Dylan?

Ebony Law said...

Zathract, have you seen the whole video that Derek posted?

Ebony Law said...

Joseph Kony (born 18 September 1964[4] in Odek, Uganda[1]) is a Ugandan guerrilla group leader, head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a group engaged in a violent campaign to establish theocratic government based on the Ten Commandments throughout Uganda.[1] The LRA say that God has sent spirits to communicate this mission directly to Kony



-Tear rolls down face- He's not a monster, Derek. He's a devil.

Robin Snowscar said...

He's not a devil. He's not a monster.

He's human. And that is the scary part.

Making the Legend said...

I remember when Invisible Children came to our school. The presentation had half the auditorium in tears. It changed the attitude of the day for the whole school.

My two cent's worth is don't think about how this will change your life, but how it will change the life of a kid in Africa. I just wrote an essay today about the importance of being able to see differnt points of views. That ability allows us all to know how best to help others. It gives us understanding so that we might try and end injustice. Put yourself in their shoes. How would the termination of Koney affect you if you lived in fear of him?

-Molly, planning to take over my school with Koney 2012

Robin Snowscar said...

Every time I hear that little boy, Jacob, cry my heart rips apart.

Robin Snowscar said...

Lemons are evil

Every
Villian
Is
Lemons

Robin Snowscar said...

I don't know if my blogger is not working or if no one is commenting...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yes, Robin, that quote from Spongebob is absolutely true.

Robin Snowscar said...

I gotta go bye bye

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Bye Robin

Robin Snowscar said...

It was on the news in Spongebob it's a fact

Robin Snowscar said...

See ya

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I know it was on the news on Spongebob; I was watching it through his window.

Zathract Mist said...

I gtg back to class now. Be back in an hour

Ebony Law said...

You know what made me love Skulduggery even more?


When Derek put the two things I love the most together. Skulduggery Pleasant and Skittles. In Death Bringer.

Jakro Tintreach said...

I've just sent the video to everyone that I know... and you all should to

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I thought that part was awesome.

Jakro Tintreach said...

hello??? anyone home???

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I shut the comment window...

Jakro Tintreach said...

oh, hows chapter 8 goin'

Lavender Hope said...

*sigh*

and... again, I was the last to know...

*shouts at self*
WHY AM I ALWAYS THE LAST TO KNOW THESE THINGS!

...*sigh*

not anyone's fault but my own...

Lavender Hope said...

now that I know a new post exists, I'm going. Bye whoever's here!

Zathract Mist said...

Agriculture is so boring. I'm still not here though

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Chapter eight isn't finished...

Ebony Law said...

Okay, Zathract.. Why do you come on here just to tell us you're going again? It's... stupid, to be honest.

Jakro Tintreach said...

well duh... how unfinished is it?????

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Uh... Very? I've been really busy...

Jakro Tintreach said...

Dylan, why do you say things like that... he's just reminding us

Zathract Mist said...

Dylan I'm in class...

Jakro Tintreach said...

@val:
hmmm... sounds like you need more Pi

Ebony Law said...

If you're in class, then you should be paying attention to the teacher.

Zathract Mist said...

When I say I am not here I mean I basically can't talk

Forest said...

wow........thats relly moving. i had no idea about that. wow

Zathract Mist said...

*laughs*

Trust me, not this guy

Reflector said...

back..
watching now.

Ebony Law said...

Zathract, is Forest some irritating guy like Freakfan and Jakro used to be?

Zathract Mist said...

No he's a guy who comments on Dereks post and leaves

Ebony Law said...

Equally annoying?

Zathract Mist said...

No he doesn't talk!

Zathract Mist said...

Or she

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Jakro, how does your person dress?

Zathract Mist said...

Val what is this comp Jakro mentioned??

Ebony Law said...

Hi, Kal!!

Ebony Law said...

I turn 17 today! :D

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

17?! That's way older than me! I'm only twelve!



And it's no competition, I'm asking people if they wanna be in a story, but it has to be a certain type of character... I have a lot of grumpy ones already...

Izz said...

Servus people.
I'm in school...
*grins*
I'm not working much.

Ebony Law said...

Yeah, Val. Remember when I said how I used drugs, prostitution, got raped when I was ten, my mum died of terminal cancer when I was four, my dad died in a car crash when I was 8? Yeah.

Ebony Law said...

If I were twelve, I wouldn't be able to handle that.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Oh...

Zathract Mist said...

I'll make a character you can use when I get home Val

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Okie.

Jakro Tintreach said...

@val:
they wear skinny jeans and have a coat with the shell(outside) of a cool snowboard coat, but the inside of a soft, fluffy blanket

Zathract Mist said...

I'm in school too Izz

Hehe

Izz said...

mmmm. Edible confetti.

I'm only here to say Servus to everyone.
I gotta go to my next class soon.

Jakro Tintreach said...

I'll be back soon, must see if TEOTW has come yet
*throws bowling ball at window*
YAYYYY!!!!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Sure, Kal! Go to http://valkyriesstories.blogspot.com/2012/03/who-wants-to-be-in-story.html and post a comment!

Izz said...

Auf wiedersehen alle!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

HELLO IZZ!

Lavender Hope said...

...O.M.G...

I just finished watching the video...

*stares then snaps out of it*

I'm gonna join! BB soon, going to Facebook.

Lavender Hope said...

...back but...

going now to do more homework... :P

Zathract Mist said...

I haven't seen the vid. What is it about??

Lavender Hope said...

A man in Africa who is kidnapping and threatening children and forcing them to kill people... you watch.

Zathract Mist said...

SPEAK TO ME!!

Ebony Law said...

No one say anything! I'll tell mist.

Lavender Hope said...

It's meant to make people aware of the man and do something about him.

Izz said...

I'm back.
I'm in English now.

Forest said...

a bad... no evil.... n, EXTRIMELY EVIL person in africa

Ebony Law said...

It's about the man, Joseph Kony, who makes girls sex slaves, makes boys part of the LRA, and makes the boys kill their family and other people, and he is the World's Worst criminal. The kids all sleep together, thinking they're safer there than in their own homes. It's really sad. This boy, Jacob, who the video supporter is sponsoring, had his brother's head lacerated off while Jacob watched. And he had to run for his life from them. The video made me cry.

Zathract Mist said...

Ive got maths next so I won't be talking for a while.

I'm still here for a bit though

Forest said...

yah.... made me cry to. relly sad.......

Ebony Law said...

And, also, Zath...


On 19th of April, you'll go to sleep ordinarily. But when you wake up on 20th of April... there will not be anywhere you can look without seeing a Kony2012 poster. This isn't happening just here in Sydney. It's happening EVERYWHERE. Kony will be infamous for his wrong doings, and we will bring him down with such force, he will not get back up.

Forest said...

YES EXZAKTLY!!!!!!!!!

Dylan, you can on two conditions:

2. Your name isn't Dylan Silver (it's easier if you do someone other than yourself for some people) and you aren't extremely powerful or have some dark and mysterious past or whatever.

Zathract Mist said...

Lavender Hope said...

Jakro Tintreach said...

Lavender Hope said...

um... hello?

Lavender Hope said...

Hello???

Adra Cruciatus said...

Derek~ thanks for posting this. I am determined... this is truly inspiring.... :D

Invisible_Fly said...

This was posted all over my Facebook. It's impossible to not have seen this video already with all of the social media coverage it's been getting. Kony makes me so angry. He is an embarrassment to his religion.

Alexis A. said...

Damn, that video was intense...

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, it was... Hi guys! :D

Lavender Hope said...

sorry, it's just that... I was beginning to wonder if everyone had left. :P But you guys came.

Alexis A. said...

Actually, I have to leave now... bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry again.

I really thought the video was important, so I went to Facebook and liked them. Now I'm trying to find out how I can donate...

Bye then.

Lavender Hope said...

going now. need to do homework, still... i'm here though... checking in at times.

Invisible_Fly said...

Hi Lavender. I don't think we've met. I'm Fly :)

Invisible_Fly said...

And yeah, this video is pretty intense.

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Fly. Yeah, I'm Lavender. But it's okay if you call me Hope. :) I don't mind.

Lavender Hope said...

Sorry. I was doing homework, as you probably noticed.

HeidiO said...

this is insane. it's horrible that no one knew about kony until now. these are the people, like hitler, who need to be stopped before it is too late. I hope our government doesn't bail on this; we need to act.

Ebony Law said...

VAL! COME ONLINE! NOW!

Lavender Hope said...

*sigh*
Hi Dylan.

Lavender Hope said...

... what? I got first? again?

Lavender Hope said...

...NO WAY! :D THAT IS SO COOL!

Ebony Law said...

No, I got first. It just did a glitch...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm here. I came online.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*goes to email so I can see all comments on my blog* AGH! SO MANY CHARACTERS!

Ebony Law said...

My prayers were answered. 8)


Well, not so much my prayers as my random yell-outs that annoy people...

Ebony Law said...

More or less. :D

Lavender Hope said...

okay. dedication time.

I dedicate this page to:

1) Dylan, for being the one who got me in first in the first place.

2) Val, for being here now.

3) Star, Sparky, Eve, Mist, Fly, Jakro, Jo, Thrust, and Flame, even though they're not on at the moment.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

No, I just have nick of time timing. Because all ninjas do. Why do you need me on?

Ebony Law said...

And me again because it's mah birthday. :D


Here's my cake emote:

(^) LIKE IT? Me too. Shucks. Yes, I work out. Really? No. Okay, sure.

Lavender Hope said...

*giggles*

Val! I got first! The second day in a row! :D

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

YES! I WAS IN THE DEDICATION!


*thinks* I wonder how many dedications I've been in... Er... Uh... A lot.

Jakro Tintreach said...
