(I'm not exactly sure WHERE this image came from. Andrew, from my agent's office, sent this to me this morning. Haven't a clue where he found it, but it is AWESOME.)
Hullo there.
It's my 38th birthday.
First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes I've been reading online. You care, you really care... sniffle... It almost made up for the fact that I will have no birthday cake today, and I have no one to sing me happy birthday. But that's fine. That's okay. I was woken up this morning by a birthday text, which would have started my day off with a smile were it not for the fact that the text was from O2, my phone provider...
Even so, thank you, O2. It's nice to know you care.
Before you feel TOO sorry for me, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday, when we combined it with a Halloween party because three of my nieces will be down the country on Halloween night. So, y'know... my birthday was hijacked by three princesses and a pirate. But that's fine.
So, what did I GET for my birthday? I shall tell you. I got a remote controlled toy car! From my brother and sisters! They got me a remote controlled toy car! Yes! They did! For no reason! For no reason I can possibly comprehend, they got me a remote controlled toy car! Thank you, brother and sisters! Just what I've always wanted but could never put into words! Joy of joys!
So, after picking myself up from the floor, it was my mother's turn to give me the present from my folks. It was a shirt! A shirt! A blue shirt! But not just any kind of blue shirt! A blue denim shirt! DENIM! The most awesome material you could possibly make a shirt FROM! A blue denim shirt!
Truly, I am blessed. It's not like when their birthdays come around I buy them computers or TVs or designer handbags. Nope. That's not what happens at all.
So you wait, my family! You just wait till your birthdays roll around again! You cannot BEGIN to guess what WONDER of a present I shall be buying you!
Joy of joys!

Taw: alright...what are you after?

*notices how close the one near Beth is getting to Beth*
*fires at the same one as Beth*
(I'm okay...
@Rhos You wouldn't happen to be doing too much of that R rated stuff, would you?)
COle: Anna...you don't have to pretend to be strong all the time...you need to grieve...
(kassy!)
(@Kas nah. He's saving himself for..*points at Chloe discreetly*)
Gar: Nothing.... *smiles and looks around and avoids looking at Taw's face*
Vik: *smiles* I'm glad you enjoyed it *kisses her forehead and gently rubs her arm*
Annabelle: I'm fine Cole.
(@Rhos I meant Gar.)
(The Bourne Identity on ITV2 btw

Annabelle: *flinches* Shh..you'll wake them.

(Kas, Gar is still with Taw so he doesn't need to pay child support... )
(Chlo, Jai has a point.... *smiles* )
Gar: I'm serious *grins*

(How art thou dear Zafira Kerais of West America?)
(hey Zaffy ^^)
(@Chloe you're right. Rubber doesn't always work..hmm. Rhos, rubber. Chloe, whichever.)
Annabelle: *mumbles 'i'm fine' into his chest*
Blwdi hell Jai... A person at your age shouldn't be saying that...
And i will (when the time comes )
(awww to you too Chlo *huggles* and awwwww your blushing again and its cute *smiles* )
Gar: What do you think I want? *smiles*
Vik: *smiles lovingly* awwwww,
I love you too
(Hello Zaf, how be you?)
(omg ...)
Cole: no more pretending... *rubs her back*
Bethany: *sends one of the creatures flying with a wave of her hand, then flaps her wings and lands beside Silente* *flaps her wings once, sending out a shockwave which knocks back the creature approaching her*
(my blushing is not cute...)
Taw: hmmm *grins and thinks*
Alys: *smiles*
(@Rhos a person my age? Aww. It's sweet you think that. You realise all anyone in my year at school go on about is who's screwing who and drugs right? Filthy animals.)
Annabelle: *shakes her head*
*smiles*
Thanks Beth.
*takes aim at a random one, firing*
(I have a friend who has had lots of boyfriends, but I think she is settled with this boy now and she kept trying to me get me and midge together but it was like...'no')
Zaf's on the east coast.
I'm on the west coast. Because I'm COOL. [puts on sunglasses]
[Realizes that it's completely cloudy]
[Takes off sunglasses]
COle: why not?
(@Chloe xD. School at my age is a nightmare. And friends tell me way too much -_-)
(hey Fab!)
It is Chlo *smiles* )
(yup I know how you feel Jai and yes people in your year are filthy animals )
Gar: Well.... *smiles and waits*
Vik: *kisses Alys's nose*
(Oh.
Darn it!
Right okay so
How art thou Zafira Kerais of the east and Fabi of the west?)
*smirks* Wrong side of 'Merica. I'm an East Coast Minion. That's why I go to Broadway a lot.-Zaf
Annabelle: if I cry..I won't stop..
Zaffy of the East is doing well. Watching Harry Potter weekend.-Zaf
(there was this boy who completely RUINED my innocence, telling me things that I didn't even realise existed.
this girl who I used to be friendly with -until she talked about me behind my back and I heard it all- she went on the school trip to Iceland and was found in a boy's bedroom in the dark on his bed)
(if you say soo sweetie...)
Cole: Ill hold you like this forever then...
Taw: *feigns cluelessness* what?
Alys: I l like itw when you d do that...
(I am glad Zaffy of the east is good! Would zaffy of the east care to be...visited by Silly of the...um..west?)
(I honestly thought it was Saturday today...until my nan turned up...I was wondering why she was here...)
Annabelle: No..the p-pups need us...
(ah.... That story is a little iffy Chlo... And Tha guy really needs a talking to and why does your friend keep trying to put you and midge together.... ? Because she knows you're with me right?)
(I thought it was Saturday until I was waiting for a bus.)
Go for it. *smirks* Across the pond Sil.-Zaf
Cole: they will be fine for now...please...ill help you cope with the pain
(oh no...she used to! before us happened...she thinks we are cute together ^^)
(Its not a pond. WE MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE! BOW DOWN! *cough* I mean what?)
Sil2: *hugs quietly to herself, moving from portal to portal towards the sanctuary*
*singing quietly*
In the mood for mischief
Mischief will be made
See if we can piss Zaf off
Annoy that old grand mage
Annabelle: I-I can't Cole..
(and yes I do say so Chlo! *smiles sweetly* and phew.. Its all good and awwwwwww, she is very right *grins* )
Gar: You know what I mean *grins and chuckles*
Vik: You do? Well I'll do it more often
Cole; *sighs* you leave me no choice *flicks her forehead quite hard*
Annabelle: Ow! *holds her forehead* what's that for!
(aww)
Taw: maybe you could show me...?
Alys: t thanks
COle: you need to let the tears out somehow,...
Annabelle: No. I'm fine.
*rubs her forehead*
That hurt..
(tis true *nods* cutie pie *smiles* )
Gar: Show you what? *smirks*
Vik: Your welcome *grins and does it again*
*the creatures slow before speeding up again, charging at them*
Elizabeth: *takes aim with her bow, firing* *time slows down around them and the arrow splits into eight, striking each of the creatures twice*
Cole: you are not fine!
(awww sweetie )
Taw: show me what you want
Alys: *smiles and huggles*
Wooow...remind me to never piss her off..
*fires at the creatures in short bursts over and over, aiming for their faces*
Annabelle: I am Cole!
Zafira: *is working in her office, thinking*
(That's me? ^.* )
Gar: Okay *looks straight at Taw* *smiles*
Vik: *huggles tightly*
(Hey Zaffy and Fabi!
@Rhos Don’t be silly, protect your willy.
We had 12 year olds in secondary school who smoked and drank and had sex. In school.
Also, I saw a woman around the age of 15 today. She was smoking. She was smoking a cigar. *sighs*)
COle: *raises voice* you are not fine and you wont be until you have cried this out!
*the creature's faces shatter but they continue running, headless*
Bethany: *slams her hands down on to the ground, grass wrapping around the creature's ankles and pulling them to the ground*
Sil2: *hums quietly*
Let's see..alarms.
*grins, taking a stick of dynamite from her pocket, lighting it and lobbing it at the front doors*
*steps back into a portal to the roof of a nearby building, crouching low, watching*
(I wuvs you Sweetie
Kassy!)
Taw: okay...im waiting
Alys: *stomach rumbles*
*blushes*
(Chloe XD)
Annabelle: Coke you'll wake them!
*stares*
That's disturbing..
*slowly approaches one of the felled ones and stabs its chest over and over, firing each time*
(honestly.... -.-)
(Kas! Blwdi hell watch the rhyming.... Although it is true but as I've said, its not going to happen for a while! And good god that's a new one on me... (what the twelve year olds did) and you can see what society is like today.... )
Cole: *eyes harden* you need time to grieve
Annabelle: *steps away from Cole*
Cole I'm f-fine..
(kids were not that bad in my school..and my school wasn't particularly great)
Cole: no you are not
Annabelle: *quietly* you're scaring me..
(I loves you too honey )
Gar: I'm looking straight at what I want *smiles*
Vik: Shall I go make breakfast? *smiles*
Cole: *clenches fist* I just...want you to show your true emotions...
Taw: awww
Alys: I ill do it
Annabelle: Cole.. *looks at the clenched fist and backs up a step*
Gar: Tis true *nods*
Vik: No I insist on it *stands up and puts his dressing gown on*
Now what do you want for breakfast?
*as the front doors go ka-boom Elementals quickly douse the flames, then a few mages write symbols to keep mortal eyes out*
Zafira: *sighs* Who the hell?!
Cole: please...
Taw: *smiles and turns* we should find a seat
Alys: ummm... *thinks*
(Tanya has a theme song... kinda.)
Gar: You sure? Or shall we go and I'll show you what I really want *smiles* your choice honey?
Vik: *waits patiently*
Sil2: hmm. That was...boring.
*jumps to the next roof top and starts throwing more dynamite then flips backwards through a portal*
*emerges a street away, crouched*
Come on little rat..
Annabelle: *sniffles*
Calm down..
*the creature extends its jaws and screams, a grey vortex extending between them*
Bethany: *runs and dives at Silente, knocking them both away from the creature*
Elizabeth: *takes another shot with her bow, striking one of the fallen ones, shattering it into pieces* *a creature dives at her and she slashes with her bow, knocking it aside* *takes a shot without even taking the time to nock another arrow, an arrow regardless striking the creature in the chest*
Ahh
*shakes her head and pulls Beth the her feet*
Thanks..
*realises she left the sword in the thing*
Crud.
*this time the dynamite is being rebounded*
Zafira: *stalks out of the Sanctuary, confused and quite pissed*
Taw: okay then
Alys: do we have a apples?
Cole: I am here to help you and I can't if you can't be true to your emotions
Gar: *smiles and kisses*
Vik: I think so *smiles* do you want anything with your apples?
Sil2: *grins*
There she is.
*runs down the street and starts sending energy arrows at Zaf as she goes*
*focuses and sends a giant explosion of energy straight at the sanctuary*
Annabelle: I..I'm sorry..
*voice is thick with unshed tears*
Taw: *kisses bacj*
Alys: n no thanks
Cole: *huggles her* it's okay...
Annabelle: *leans heavily against him*
Don't scare me like that..
*the creature climbs to its feet, pulling out the sword from itself, aiming it at Silente and Bethany* *it fires a beam of white energy at them*
Bethany: *deflects the attack with her spear*
Elizabeth: *nocks another arrow and shoots the creature attacking Bethany and Silente in the back, before vanishing in a flash of blue and reappearing beside them*
What do we do now?!
*starts throwing daggers at the remaining ones*
Gar: *smiles, takes Taw's hand and shadow walks back home*
I'll go put Cora to bed *smiles* and then I'll show you what me want....
Vik: Okay *smiles and teleports to the kitchen, picks up a couple of apples and teleports back to Alys* I've got your apples
Cole: *hugs her tightly * I'm sorry...I just hate seeing you like this
Annabelle: I know..
*closes her eyes tightly*
Taw: okay *smiles*
*cora slowly falls asleep*
Alys : t thanks...what a are you having?
Cole: *strokes her hair and kisses her forehead*
Annabelle: *sniffles*
I..I just..I have to be fine..
Cole: *uses a soothing tone* you don't have to be anything
Annabelle: *quietly* that's what I'm afraid of..
Gar: Come on then little lady *whispers* its bed time for you *smiles and puts Cora to bed*
Vik: Your welcome and I've got some toast... *remembers it still in the toaster* crap! *teleports to the kitchen and takes the toast out*
*the toast is a healthy shade of brown*
Cole: *frowns* Anna...I know you want to cry so just let it go
*cora settles into her cot*
Alys: uh ...
Zafira: Seriously?! *sends shadow daggers at Silente, the energy rebounding again, thanks to Zafra figuring out a few sigils* What do you want? It's the middle of the night in Greenwhich Village, a MORTAL town.
(sorry Rhossie if I reply late to your email
I had to reset my phone)
Gar: *whispers* nighty night *smiles and goes back to Taw*
Vik: *teleports back to Alys with a plate of toast* I'm back.. And we're okay *smiles* I didn't burn it
Taw: *smiles* was that easy?
Alys: *smiles* g good *munches on an apple*
Sil2: *laughs, cartwheeling to avoid the daggers*
To pay you a visit of course!
*rolls eyes at the next sigils*
Child's play.
*runs and leaps off the edge of the very tall building, diving head first at the street below*
Annabelle: I can't..
Elizabeth: Keep on hitting them. *fires another arrows with her bow, splitting it into four, striking each of the creatures before they detonate individually - shattering their torsos until all they are is legs*
*the legs start to run at them*
Gar: It was *nods* she went right off to sleep for me *smiles*
Vik: Thank you, *eats the toast*
Cole: shhhh it's okay
Okay..that's just..
*shudder*
Can the legs still damage us in any way?
I'm feeling philosophical today. No good can come of this, so I've decided to come here instead of philosophizing. Greetings, Blogland.
Taw: you have a way with kids
Alys: *smiles and she eats* mmmm
(Anni!!!!)
(CLARA! *cuddles* Yey. Moon and sky.)
Annabelle: it's not..
Greetings, Inky! I'm glad that you're excited to see me. So few people are, in my experience.
Silente, My-Sun-And-Stars. Hullo.
(Hey Clars! *hugs* )
Gar: You really think so *smiles*
Vik: *smiles* you enjoying your apple?
Cole: I'm not going to judge you if you cry...you're still my Anna
(How are you Clara?)
Garrett, it's been a while. How are things? How was your Christmas?
Annabelle: *smiles* still my Cole..
Taw; you do *smiles*
Alys: t they're m my favourite
Bethany: Yes, they can. They can still suck out our souls. *fires a pulse of white energy from her hand, knocking one pair of legs away*
*the legs start to run at them*
Elizabeth: I have to give Minerve credit. They are incredible inventions. Instant death.
*reloads her crossbows and fires both up into the air*
*a moment later, a storm of crossbow bolts rain down in their thousands, striking the legs with perfect accuracy, causing them to fall*
I'm doing well, Silente, apart from the philosophicalness of my moods. I bought some new shoes today with Christmas money. I so rarely buy new clothes, so it was a nice treat.
I also had lunch with my mother's best friend and her extended family, wherein I was fixed up with two different teenage boys simultaneously, which I did not appreciate, nor did they.
Zafira: Go on. I dare you.
Cole: *kisses her gently *
How do legs remove souls?? Well..at least THATS over..
(Ah. I'm sure the boys shall be dead by dawn, knowing the fangirls.)
Sil2: *rolls to shed momentum, coming up quickly and hurling a dagger to distract zaf, darting straight for the sigils*
Annabelle: *kisses him gently back*
Things are good Clarz and my Christmas was good too,
How are things and how was your Christmas? )
Gar: *smiles* now what do you want?
Vik: Awwwww that's nice *smiles*
I should get you apples more often *nods*
I have no doubt that that is true, Silente.
(Dammit I have to go to bed now
Sweet dreams everyone)
My Christmas was lovely, Garrett. I got many things, most of them books, some of them colored pencils, and one of them a top hat. All good things.
(RIP those boys. May the torn up chunks of their bodies find peace.)
Ah. I see. Goodnight then, Inky. Sleep well.
(Night Inks!)
Indeed. May they rest in pieces.
*checks hair in mirror*
The poor things adored me, of course. My hair is especially floofy today.
Clara, are you still here?
(*smiles*
Of course.)
Nos da Chlo )
...
I'm gonna change my picture back to something normal. There's clearly no party going on.
Yes, of course I am still here. Why do you ask?
Also, hullo! It's been a while since we've last spoken.
*the legs stand back up and continue running*
Elizabeth: Shatter them.
(That's coolz Clars *smiles*, I want to get a top hat too,
They're awesome *nods*
I would look so fly in one
*sighs*
With WHAT
*starts hurling daggers with tremendous force at the legs, each glowing angrily*
(Hey Fabi.)
Pretty fly . . for a white guy?
*uh-HUH uh-HUH*
Anyhow, it does look rather dashing. I've wanted a top hat for a while, so I'm glad I've got one.
...
I had something I really wanted to talk to you about.
I don't remember what it was, though.
Hello! Yes, it has.
(Hey Silente,)
Well, if you remember it, please do let me know. I am eager to find out.
(That reminds me..
Clara! How goes the top secret mission!)
Exactly! And there you go, *nods* good things come to those who wait *nods again*
The mission?
*leans close and whispers* El. Psy. Congroo. The raven is in the nest.
(*nods as if that makes sense*
Right. Okay.)
*nods solemnly*
*steps backwards into the shadows, while doing jazz hands*
*is still clearly visible*
*the legs shatter and splinter into pieces, collapsing*
Bethany: Horrible things. *hugs Silente tightly*
(*nods*
So...its already driven you insane.)
*hugs her tightly back*
*smiles*
Min lost.
Oh come now, Silente, I was insane long before The Top Secret Mission.
*is still doing jazz hands*
You're insane Clars? Really? I didn't notice...
(Indeed you were. Now you're more so.)
My insanity tends to manifest itself on more subtle and jazzy levels, you see.
Elizabeth: They were only scouts. It is hardly a big victory.
*head snaps up*
*sniffs the air*
I'll be back momentarily. I'm being summoned.
*vanishes*
Any victory is a big victory. And what do you mean scouts?
Elizabeth: They were not exactly the main bulk of her army. But do not worry - they will not be coming. Not yet.
Bethany: *kisses Silente*
Welcome back Clars and nothing is new here I think
(@Clara not much. Oh I seized control of the hotel. That's cool right? Right.)
*kisses her back, pulling her closer*
*smiles*
You'd think the goddess of death would have better things to do with her time than harass us.
(I will be back soon.)
(*seizes control of the hotel*
*nods*
*makes anti-Clara sigils for the door*
*sits in the swivel chair*
*and*
*swivels*)
(*walks into the hotel (ouch...) *
*coughs*
Jai whatcha doin?
Zafira: Only I can touch those
(*looks up and smiles pleasantly at Rhos*
Hello! Welcome to the new and improved hotel!)
