First, let's get some bad news out of the way... errr... you're going to have to wait just a FEW more days for the Tanith cover...
(notmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfaultnotmyfault)
Ahem.
This probably won't make you feel ANY better about the delay, but it's looking amazing right now. We still have to get the colour just right (because this was an unplanned addition to the series, it's kind of thrown our title-colour scheme up into the air...) but it's looking beautiful. Tanith looks like a total BAMF.
Middle of next week. DEFINITELY.
Hopefully.
The good news is, I've finished writing it. I finished yesterday and sent it off. Right now, before the editing process begins, it is 54,000 words long. That's fifty-four THOUSAND.
It was MEANT to be roughly twice the size of The End Of The World, which came in at something like 17,000 words. So when I started I was looking at a quick 36,000 word novella that I'd bang out between the end of the KOTW tour and the beginning of writing Book 8, giving me loads of time to relax and take it easy.
And it was going fine, it really was. I had Tanith and Sanguine, and they'd recruited their team of villains, and the story was rattling along and everything was cool... and then I introduced a team of good guys as well. So we have Dexter Vex and Frightening Jones and a few new characters, including the Monster Hunters (two guys I've been trying to find a place for in the regular books) and Saracen Rue. Saracen is the only surviving member of the Dead Men that we haven't met yet, and it was just so much fun writing them all that the word count kind of... ran off, dragging me behind it.
It was MEANT to be a little sliver of a book. Now it's practically two-thirds the length of Book One.
The things I do for you people, I swear...
The "Can Your School Get More Awesome?" competition is still going strong over at the Skulduggery website. The ingenuity on display is something to behold, with many of you using both social AND mainstream media (local papers, radio stations) to garner as many votes as possible. Have to say, I'm impressed at the imagination being displayed- there are some real smart cookies out there. There a few schools that are practically guaranteed to be in the top ten, there are plenty more who have established themselves as challengers, and then there are the schools with only a few votes. And to the people who put forward THOSE schools, I have to ask- how does it feel to be so utterly cool? How does it feel to be the only one in your area with enough good taste to vote? You are shining lights, you truly are.
I'm just looking at some of the photos... I love that the Bishopston school in Swansea and Heathcote School and a few others have sent us photos of the school crest- I have no idea how Tom would have drawn Skulduggery in THOSE photos but it would have been fun to see him try...
And St Annes in Shankill, who supplied an arial view... Dammit, if this had been voted for, Tom could have drawn Valkyrie plummeting from the sky and Skulduggery swooping in to save her. Argh! The potential for coolness would have been astronomical!
Let's see, what else... Skulduggery and Val would have looked awesome in the corridor of Holy Family Senior School in Ennis... and they have skeletons in St Matthews!... imagine Val abseiling down the side of Carterton Community College... or Skulduggery walking up the stairs of Selly Park Technology College for Girls... the dogs in Gabbinbar State School in Toowoomba (you don't have to look up Toowoomba to know it's in Australia, do you?) would have been able to chew on poor Skulduggery's leg... awww and I've just seen the picture from Invicta Grammar School with all the girls in army fatigues- I'd have loved to have visited there... I'm pretty sure that's a picture of Camilla visiting Brookside Primary School- so Val would have looked pretty cheeky pulling a face behind her back... and she would have fit right in with the girls from Oakmeeds Community College... Skulduggery would have been so proud to stand in amongst everyone in Scarborough College... then we have Skulduggery himself in Brentwood Ursuline Convent HS... and I'd have loved to have visited Hitchin Girls School, if only so I could have made a load of jokes about hitchin' girls...
Voting is still going on, so you've all got plenty of time left. Once we have the top ten, it'll be up to me to pick the photo that would lead to the best Skulduggery pic and then we'll have our winner. But the effort all of you have gone to is just hilariously impressive...

#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Let's do this.
*grins* Croatoan can't catch me *climbs a tree*
*Lorcan starts blowing raspberries on Olivia's cheeks before he picks her up and hugs her tight.*
Lorcan: Truce?? I'm exhausted. I think I might sleep here.
*He starts fake snoring and pretends to fall asleep on top of Olivia, pinning her down on the snow.*
Olivia: Heeelp he's got me!!!!!
Adra - Fair enough. :P
TICH IS MY BABE THO SHE IS HONESTLY SO PERFECT
I told you, I was drawing what image that I got when you told me that quote.
And gracious no, I'm doing silhouettes, because I'd draw your wrong and probably insult you or something. :P
-
*She pulls out an applesauce, and sips it*
Niccolò: *the snow from the branches above Zafira suddenly falls on top of her*
Oh, that was nothing. *drops to the ground beside her, looking up at the sky* Aretha so loves watching the snow. She loves to lie like this, let it fall on her face and wet her hair. And then she shakes the snowflakes out of it. *sighs contentedly*
#ChaseForBook9
(OH Ari!! This would be the first time that Niccolo or you, whenever you are around, would have seen Lorcan since his silver took over. He has like silver hair and eyes now. Not a werewolf anymore.)
*Lorcan's snores get louder as he playfully pushes snow up to Olivia's face, pretending to bury her.*
Sorry, back now
((Ari: XD Well, that sounds like it'll be awesome.))
#ChaseForBook9
*falls into snow* Blergh! Coco! I'm wet now! *whips shadows at him playfully*
((Ari: *nods* I read the old comments, so I've been following your roleplay, although for whatever reason I didn't know about the silver hair and eyes. Thanks. :)
Join us in the snow, Snow!))
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *laughs harder and tries to get free*
Alexis: Lorcan wanna help make an Olivia-Snowman?
*stares determinedly at 16x16 Sudoku*
*you know, the one that I'm STILL DOING*
#ChaseForBookNine
*She smiles* It is lovely, and peaceful that is. *She pulls one of her gloves off, and sticks her hand in the snow, and pulling some out, and begins to make a small snowman*
It's just weird that it's basically rain, bu tit isn't, yet it's made of the same stuff.
(Mara- I listened to Obsession! I love it!!)
((*salutes* aye aye captain))
*snow jumps down from a nearby tree laughing*
*Hugs Star*
((Ari: It'll feel awesome when you finish it, though, Star.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan laughs*
Lorcan: Ooh that sounds like fun. We need a model of some kind... Hmmmm...
*He picks up Olivia and stands her up. He puts her arms by her side and he boops her nose*
Lorcan: Stay there, you're our model now.
*He starts pushing and patting snow at her feet.*
Alexis: *helps Lorcan*
Olivia: I wanna make a snow angel!!!
@Ari: Actually, probably not all that much. :P It's gone on too long for me to harbour that much emotion on it, I think.
*hugs*
*hugs Adra*
#ChaseForBookNine
Niccolò: *brushes her shadows away with his own* Indeed. She loves the rain, too, of course, but I've never seen her more excited about the weather than when it snows.
#ChsaeForBook9
*unless I get fixed on it again
#ChaseForBooknine
*leans against a tree and watches everyone messing about in the snow*
*Lorcan and Alexis get snow up as far as her knees*
Lorcan: Livvyman first and then snow angels... after we thaw you out!
Adra - That's how it starts.
Obsession was the first one I listened to. I said, "wow, I love this!"
next is dumb
then breathe in breathe out
c:
It's BEGINNING, Mara! :P
-
Well, I gotta hand it to her, weather is rather beautiful. Thunderstorms have to be my favorite, though.
*smiles* You really do like her. I like the snow as well, and you know there's a Sense-Warden in iur custody he really wants to speak to you. He's....my son. *sighs*
Olivia: eeeeep!!!!!!!!!!
I sent the email with the picture.
I'm so done.
Niccolò: Oh, she loves those. They make her more content, though, than anything else. Snow excites her.
Yes, I recall, Zafira. *muses quietly to self* I hadn't been shot in so long, I nearly forgot what it felt like... What does he want with me?
#ChaseForBook9
*Her eyes widen and she sits up* Shot? You were shot?
I'm not sure but he's asked me a dozen times to talk to you. Try not to kill him though I mean he probably would say he deserves it but still.
*Lorcan boops her nose again*
Lorcan: Snowmen don't make noises, they stand there and be snowmen *He laughs as he makes it look like he's patting and piling more snow*
((I excite aretha? XD))
Olivia: I special!
*Lorcan laughs*
Lorcan: You must be freezing sweets!
*He lifts her out of the snow and brushes her down*
Lorcan: Go and do your snow angel and then get me when you're finished. I want to show you something.
Niccolò: *sighs* Sometimes I forget that you people can hear me... Technically, Aretha was shot, but I linked us so I could take the wound for her. It's nothing to fuss over- I healed long ago.
I suppose that means I'll have to go and see him. I'll go in a few moments.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: I wanna see show me!!
*Is putting his plate away after a fairly disgusting attempt to make a horse pie. Too much cucumber*
Crimson: Hello again.
How the hell did you get in?
Crimson: Is it important? *is pivoting wildly on her heels, looking at Trip's black kitchen walls, knowing they'll be completely different tommorow, not even the same shape*
*isn't looking at her, staring at the wall, shoulders hunched* Actually it does, as it shows a pretty big flaw in my security.
Crimson: You're not protected from inter-dimensional travel, I used a shunt stone.
I see. Now get out of my house.
Crimson: No.
The house may like you, but that doesn't mean it won't kick you out.
Crimson: *Strolls behind him, running a single nail down his back* Actually, it does. By the way, how ya doin housey? *some toothpicks hover and make a tick* Good.
*spins around and bats her hand away, then pushes her back*
Crimson: Have you even taken her here yet? She's pregnant with your child, and she's never been to your house?
How do you know that?
Crimson: What?
That Adra's pregnant?
Crimson: She is? Congratulations!
You talked to her didn't you?
Crimson: I honestly don't know what you're babbling about.
Why did you talk to her?
Crimson: Trip, honey, calm down.
WHY? To, to antagonise her? To check out who has, overtaken you by my side? WHY YOU CRAZY MESSED UP MORON?
Crimson: *a tear form is in her left eye* It's amazing how fast opinions change. Good day. *she walks out the door to the garden*
Good riddance.
#ChaseForBook9
We'll fight till kingdom comes,
We'll fight till kingdom comes,
Yeah
(BABE)
*She huffs* Alright then..
Alright thanks, its Aro. And Nic...maybe you could get him to talk. He's got some binding symbol so maybe you'll get him to explain
(Hey Trip, btw, :P)
G2g eat snd think about slea. May ghost and randomly comment every now and then
((Ari: PARTYYYY!!!!))
#ChaseforBook9
(FUCK IT ALL ARETHA :P)
OH! And, bye Snow! *hugs*
((Ari: Ok, Snow. *hugs*
I think I'm saving this profile pic for parties and games and such. XD))
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan laughs*
Lorcan: Do your snow angel first Livvy and then I'll show you.
-
*Emerald winces as she puts the last bit of her second ice makings into the sink. She was going to give her arms another half hour at least. Hopefully then she can wrap them back up and rest.
She heard a noise from inside the room. The lights flicked in the bathroom slightly. She called out.*
Emerald: Hello?? Adra, is that you??
Olivia: *makes it* I done!
Niccolò: *shrugs* I've certainly had worse injuries.
What sort of binding symbol do you mean?
((Ari: How far is everyone from the lab?))
#ChaseForBook9
(Herrow.)
*sighs, exhausted from being enraged*
I know, *pats the sideboard, leaning on it for support* I know. *bows head and shudders* I need to see Adra. See you later. *walks into the hall, grabs one of his many coats from the rack that lines the wall, and heads for the nearest forest*
#ChaseForBook9
Binding him to Mevolent's will. He's made hints about it but he's not able to tell us
(We're in the front yard. Because. You know. That's where Adra does her snow things.)
Mm...
*She sips a bit more of her applesauce*
((Ari: Hey Trip! *hugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
(Shit. Brb, my knee fucking popped out of place again.
*Growls*)
Niccolò: I'll see what I can do.
Emerald has just heard something, Adra, and she thinks that whatever it is is you. She called out to you just now. Shall I see what it is?
#ChaseForBook9
Emerald? What? Emerald Melody?
(Have fun!)
#ChaseForBook9
(Right. Sorry. Back. And that took a considerably shorter amount of time, thank God. *Raises hands in hallelujah*)
No, I can go see her. *She takes a hold of the tree, having it help her up, and moves for her lab*
*comes out of the forest by Em's house, but everything seems oddly... Shadowy.
#ChaseForBook9
((Ari: Ooh, I'm sorry, Adra... *hugs* *winces*
Trip- ?))
Niccolò: Yes, Emerald Melody. She has resided in Adra's laboratory for the past few days.
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan smiles*
Lorcan: Such a cheeky monkey.
*He walks over to Olivia's snow angel and presses his finger in the middle of it. The impress starts to fill up with silver, making all the details of an angel like the feathers in her wings or the creases on her dress. When it's finished, he digs it out and stands it up.*
-
*Emerald wraps up her arms as she grabs the knife. She walks into the room and there was Deacon sitting on her bed*
Deacon: I hope that knife isn't for mal intent.
*She lowers it slightly*
Emerald: I, um... I had a not so pleasant dream about you so I decided to keep it close.
*Deacon looks shocked but disappointed.*
Deacon: Oh dear, well I do hope you know that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.
*Emerald looks confused.*
Niccolò: Alright, Adra.
#ChaseForBook9
And....did anyone think to tell me?! *hit head against tree*
*She hobbles into her lab, up the stairs to Em's room*
*Knocks, then gently walks in* Em?
EM?
*Curses, drawing, uh, a bottle of wine apparently, and smashes it against the wall, wielding it*
Olivia: pretty!!!!
Alexis: it's like a type of magic.
I wonder how Chase is doing. And Lorcan, maybe he's in. [He rarely is.] Shut up.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: I apologize, I was not aware you didn't know.
#Chaseforbook9
*walks over to the door, and considers knocking* [We're here to see Adra. We haven't seen Chase in a while. A-] *walks away, avoiding the feeling Of the shadows*
#ChaseForBook9
S'alright Nic. I'm more shocked. I haven't been home...*smiles* I just remembered Christmas Eve...it was snowing this way.
*Emerald cries out and turns to face Adra, but as soon as she turns back Deacon is gone. The lights flickering and suddenly he has Adra against the wall by the neck. Emerald looks shocked*
Emerald: Wha... what are you doing??!!! She's pregnant!
Deacon: Don't you see it Emerald, these people want to keep us apart. They don't know what our love is like. They are trying to close you off from your true potential.
*She gasps, but it is cut off, and she kicks out with no distinct direction, hoping to lang a few hits on him*
(Glurck.)
#ChaseForBook9
(Yes. I often speak in bubbles, Trip :P)
Niccolo: You'll have to excuse me. Apologies. *vanishes* *appears in Emerald's room, and presses a knife to Deacon's neck* It isn't very polite of you to attack pregnant women, you know. I thought you were more interesting than that.
#ChaseForBook9
*begins to descend the hill from the bar to the lab*
#ChaseForBook9
*hits head* *hits head harder* Why is it when I soeak to him Adra always has to get into trouble?! Can I not homd a fucking conversation without her getting in trouble* That stupid woman lecturing me when I had kids but she can't be a normal person and stay out of trouble!!! *kicks rock going to treehouse cursing Adra in multiple languages*
(I believe that this is the perfect (not) time to appear with this)
((Ari: You know, Zaf, Trip is about to show up- you could talk to him. Or you could help her. You don't have to isolate yourself.))
#ChaseForBook9
(Adra would, for the record, be able to curse Zaf out in a lot more languages :P
I don't know why I put that.)
(damn you Snow Stormberg)
((Ari: ... NO *glares daggers at Snow*))
#ChaseForBook9
Lorcan: And she's all yours Livvy. And plus this snow angel won't melt on you.
And I have no idea what kind of magic Lexi, I've never had magic before.
Wanna go show your mom your angel Livvy?
-
*Emerald whimpers slightly*
Emerald: Please don't hurt her or the baby. She's the only one I remember! That's important.
Deacon: More important than me?! You'd rather pick her than me!
*Deacon squeezes Adra's neck harder, noticing the slight purple colour she is now turning. Emerald suddenly throws the knife and it grazes Deacon's ear. He looks shocked as he lets go of Adra. He turns to Emerald*
Emerald: *growls* Don't make me choose!!
*Deacon flickers away into the shadows with a malicious grin on his face, just as Niccolo appears behind him. He felt the knife but it barely got him. Emerald's however made him bleed slightly. She was starting to tap the darkness in her and that was all he wanted.
Emerald turns and throws up in the bucket again, her body working against her once more*
(*bows and continues ghosting*)
(Probably could but then again I'm mot entirely useful)
*She hits the ground and stumbles away, towards the hallway, one hand on her stomach, trying to get as much distance between her and Deacon as she can*
((Trip could curse in the most. And with the most variation. We're talking bad luck for seven years and stuff right?))
*sees Lorcan standing on Adra's lawn* Ho! Lorcan!
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *takes angel inside*
Alexis: so now what? This is so odd
*gets bored and goes to Adra's lab seeing Deacon* I'm out
Niccolò: *sighs* *returns the knife to its place in his coat* *turns to Emerald* Thank you for defending Adra. I must warn you, however- I believe that was what he wanted. He wishes to make you dark, like he is. The safest thing for you is to remain peaceful, if I'm not mistaken.
#chaseForBook9
(No, we're talking about things like "fuck" "Shit", etc :P)
*Hopes that Niccolo is going to hear her* I'm sorry, I have to run, but I should hope you have this handled. I'll send Zaf in, if I can.
*She runs down the hall to her room, sprinting through that and out to her balcony off the side of the lab*
*She flips one leg over it, looking down*
How am I getting down...
Oh hey Alexis. *seems kind if out of it*
Have you guys seen Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan turns around, forgetting that not many people have seen him with his silver hair and eyes yet. But he smiles and waves at Trip either way*
-
*Emerald backs up slightly from Niccolo, her body shaking*
Emerald: I don't know who you are. Get away from me. I don't know what is going on anymore!
*she starts to sob*
*Looks at a rather large snow drift*
Eh, it's only the second floor...
*Leaps with a shout, and lands in the snow*
Alexis: Hai.
(I know, I was just joking. Should've put :P after it really.)
#ChaseForBook9
Oh. *runs over to Adra, leaning down and offering an arm to help her up*
#ChaseForBook9
*She takes his arm, and pulls herself up, brushing herself off* *Notices that it was Trip that helped her* Oh! Uh, hi!
Niccolò: *doesn't approach her, for fear of upsetting her, but stands in a very unthreatening manner* *speaks softly* I know, Emerald. I'm sorry. We were friends of a sort, before, if that means anything to you. *is silent for a moment* I can heal. If you'd like me to, I could rid you of the burns on your arms.
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan takes Lexi's hand and rubs the back of her hand with his thumb.*
Lorcan: Magic. Never had magic before, you're gonna have to teach me the ways.
Hello.
You just jumped off a second floor balcony.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes I did. I think it was a fabulous stunt.
*Emerald rubs his bandages as she looks at him*
Emerald: I don't think I'm supposed to be here.
I don't remember anyone but Adra. I don't know anything about this place. Something just feels wrong.
*She pauses as she throws up in the bucket again.*
((Is your coat from the fall collection too, adra?))
Whatever you say dear.
Say, why were you jumping from a second floor balcony?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Well....I'm a Sensitive but I can help. You've got a few years before you'd have the Surge. *smiles* Its simple, I could teach you some Elemental magic and my Mom is a Necromancer if you want to see that.
*eyes widen* Emerald? *the shadows on my necklace are still from my own shock
(*Hits Snow*)
-
*She takes a deep breath, finally slowing her breathing* I was running from Deacon after he tried to choke me to death- what have you done today?
(Snow, why do you get all the best profile pictures?)
#ChaseForBook9
((Nawwwwww. But you have to admit that this pic is amazing))
*doesn't reply. Remains unmoving, not entirely sure what to say or do*
#ChaseForBook9
((Because I look. I find them and use them.))
I have that saved on my phone, Snow :P
-
*Frowns* Are you alright?
*Lorcan looks slightly confused*
Lorcan: So you want me to learn more that one magic? I think this silver is pretty permanent right now Lexi.
-
*Emerald sees Zaf and she backs up right up against the wall*
Emerald: Who is that?! I don't know you, stay away from me!
(No, I think you're getting help from aliens.)
Um.
I don't think so.
#ChaseForBook9
(Blergh brb dinner
(Blergh brb dinner
What's wrong, then?
((But... aren't you an alien? ))
(#Crying, Snow)
((Just wait for my next one))
*Lorcan runs over beside Trip and Adra*
Lorcan: Adra! Are you okay? What the hell did you do that for??
((So true :') ))
(No. Shut up. I'm not an alien. When did I say I was an alien studying human behaviour so we can infiltrate you society and enslave you? That's just silly!!!!!! Hahahahahahhahahahaha. I'mnotanalien.)
Deacon and dead and you and house and FAR MORE COMPLICATED THAN I WAS EXPECTING.
#ChaseForBook9
Lorcan, it doesn't matter- you mom's inside though... You might want to see her. Maybe you could knock some memory into her.
(Also, that's a good one.)
#ChaseForBook9
What's far more complicated? Yeah, Deacon's back- he has been for a few days...
I just put up a Madra chapter on TSB omg
((I try))
(OH MY GOD MARA)
Wait, you Em is also...?
Is there anyone else who was previously dead or from my past who has decided to come back into my/all our life/lives?
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan stops still*
Lorcan: My... my mom...
*he turns away, as he balls up, the silver starts to encase his hands.*
My mom is dead because of me.
I'M STILL LAUGUNG
(( this is for my friend))
*The blinks*
*Yes*
No, not that I know of?
adra don't throw up rainbows pls
Niccolò: *takes a breath, considering* A long time ago, Deacon began to attack you. He infected your mind with his shadows, and began to control you from the inside out. He did his best to wreak havoc upon you, and all of your friends. But we killed him. And then, somewhat recently, you died in an accident. Deacon returned- I've no idea how, but he did- and from what I can tell, he revived you, hoping to use you as he did the last time. He is taking advantage of your confusion to turn you to his side, and make you the dark creature he wants you to be. *shows her a few breif memories of all of them fighting Deacon, careful not to overwhelm her* Of course, you have no reason to trust me, and I can only insist that we are your friends, and that we will willingly place your safety before ours if it comes to that. I know this is so much to take in at once. If there is anyting I can do for you, you need only ask, and I shall do my best to assist you.
#ChaseForBook9
((Sorry, this is for my friend))
(Sherlock's hair ruffle in 3:1)
*Emerald looks at Niccolo with confused eyes*
Emerald: I don't know what I need...
(Mara, I keep looking back at the comments and our conversation is killing me :P)
(( :) ))
That was...8D Mara.
Oh, oh good. *sits on a conveniently placed chair* I think I just need a moment, to....... Catch up.
#ChaseForBook9
@LittleMixOffic: {attached is le pic of Perrie looking shocked and the five 1D cardboard cutouts. The Zayn cutout is at the back}
No-one puts baby in the corner! Perrie<3
@LittleMixOffic: {picture of Perrie with her thumbs up and Zayn in the front, and hARRY AND LOUIS BESIDE EACH OTHER SHE SHIPS LARRY i mean um}
That's better!:D Perrie<3
Take all the time you need-
*She slowly, steadily lowers herself against the snow drift, making herself a chair, one arm wrapped around herself*
Omg Adra
Niccolò: Is there anything that you want, then?
#ChaseForBook9
(Snow, I'm just going to issue a blanket XD for all of these, as you're putting them up faster than I can write a message about them.)
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *follows slowly*
*listens silently*
((I think I had the same reaction))
Emerald: I want to know why I don't remember anything...
-
*Lorcan sits in the snow, the silver starting to make its way past his wrist*
Lorcan: How is my mother alive?? I...
Good question, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
I'll stop soon. I just have some amazing ones.
Memory...possibly from being dead?
Alexis: *sits by Lorcan*
Yes, love?
Niccolò: If you'd like, I can look inside your mind, and attempt to figure that out, however I cannot promise anything. It is possible that Deacon somehow blocked you from your memories in an attempt to disorient and frustrate you.
#ChaseForBook9
How is she alive?
#ChaseForBook9
Emerald? Well.. Deacon brought her to life.
Can I ask you a question?
*mutters to self* Probably best I just go. Not needed.
*Emerald looks sadly at Zaf*
Emerald: I don't know who you are, I'm sorry.
*She then looks at Niccolo*
Emerald: You can do that? Look in my mind??
-
*Lorcan takes a breath as he starts to make his silver subside to just his hands. He tries his best not to touch Alexis. He doesn't know what he really can do with his silver yet.*
Um... Fire away.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: I imagine it is better to have you here than not, Zafira. She ought to see as many friends as she can- it may restore some of her memories.
#ChaseForBook9
Knock knock
:$
Mara: *is in Mackenzie's room, changing her nappy*
Harry: Maaaaraaaaa.
Mara: Hold on! *picks Mackenzie up* *walks into the living room* Harry, wh- Oh jesus.
Harry: *has a big bruise across his cheek* Does it show?
Mara: Boo, what happened?
Harry: I, uh, I got in a fight! Yeah! I punched a few dudes, you know, a bit of boxing, *punches the air*
Mara: *looks at him* You went to Louis' and hit yourself across the face with the wii remote again, didn't you.
Harry: *sags* Yes.
Hello, delivery guy. How are you?
#ChaseForBook9
Wait- what the hell? Who's there?
-
Uh.. *She props herself rather awkwardly on one shoulder* To you, who is Crimson?
Herro fab. I love these parody pics
I am well, thank you.
I have a package that is supposed to be delivered to this address?
(Unless you would rather not be interrupted, of course)
*nods* I-I guess. Yes. I'll stay.
I'm really confused..?
On second thought, it appears everyone is too busy for something as trivial as this!
Ta ta!
Niccolò: Yes, I can. I am capable of many different kinds of magic. One of the many things that I am is a sensitive, which means I can see inside the minds of others. That is how I showed you memories a few moments ago.

Ooh, Mr Delivery Guy!
Do you have my Little Mix poster that was supposed to come three days ago?
:P
Ah... Okay, Delivery Man? *hugs* :P
Bye fab. Now I need to think of a ded
((Ari: Hm... *hugs Delivery Man* *actually quite enjoys Delivery Man* *hopes he'll come back, because he could be really fun*))
#ChaseForBook9
Um... She and I... We hooked up, a bit, I guess.
It was a casual thing. We saw each other very irregularly. Normally a few years between each meeting.
We were also, on quite good terms, you know? Sometes we'd get coffee and chat, others, not so much.
So, yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: Lorcan? You alright?
Huh.. *nods* Alright then.
Niccolò: You are welcome to contribute to the conversation as well, Zafira.
#ChaseForBook9
Glad we got that out of the way. It was going to come up sooner or later.
#ChaseForBook9
*Lorcan stands up. The silver starting to harden and travel up his arms again*
Lorcan: Who the fuck is this Deacon and what does he want with my mother?!
-
*Emerald looks at Zaf again*
Emerald: I really am sorry that I don't remember you.
I would like some help. I would. I don't even know how I remembered Adra. Even then, I just remember her rubbing cream on me gently. It's not much...
((Ari: *anxiously observes Tadra* *veeeeery anxiously*))
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, howabout that.
*She pushes herself into a more sitting position* Now help me up. I'm hungry, and we're going to the bar to get food.
Because I said so.
*nods* Yes. Uh you may not remember me but my name is Zafira Kerias, I'm Grand Mage of America, basically I oversee the magical goverment in America. I'm like Niccolò in a way, I'm a Necromancer by my Surge but I can do other sorts of magic.
That last sentence, Em :P
I don't know if it'll come up or not, Ari. It depends on how persistent Crimson is. THEN YOU SHALL SEE.
If not, I'll end up making a Nameless about what it was.
Niccolò: I shall do what I can. *carefully enters her mind, searching for memories and anything that might be blocking them*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: He...isn't nice. Not at all. He should die.
Snow, can I ask you something?
*stands up, and offers Adra a hand*
Deacon, was a werewolf with control over magic.
Remember Deacon from your dimension?
#ChaseForBook9
Sure.
((Ari: Loving all of your pictures, by the way, Snow! XD))
#ChaseForBook9
What does the fact that I was using a different name and pic tell you?
((Oh:( Bye Mr Delivery Guy! *hugs*))
Harry: *hides his face*
Mara: *amused* What are you doing?
Harry: Don't let our daughter see me like this.
Mara: Why?
Harry: Because it is the only time I have ever looked less than sexy.
Mara: Harry, you've always looked sexy. *winks*
Harry: Don't flirt with me, you've got a child in your hands.
Mara: Oh, I'm sure Kenzie doesn't mind. Do you, Kenz? No you don't. No you don't! *blows raspberries on her stomach*
Harry: You're weird.
Mara: *gives him a look* Oh, let me just name some of the times you've been stupid. Walking into a glass door. Falling over and smashing your face into cake. Getting stuck in a revolving door. Getting your head stuck in the lift door. Getting your lace stuck in the escalator. That time wh-
Harry: *irritably* Okay. I get it.
Mara: Aw, is wittle Harry annoyed? Is Daddy annoyed, Kenzie? I think he is. Is he? Is Daddy a bit weird? I think he is.
Mackenzie: *gurgles*
Mara: That's her way of saying yes.
*She takes it and helps herself up again*
I'm sorry...? I remember him from both dimensions, Trip. I'm pretty sure he had magic in each.
((Ari: Harralie!!! :D))
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry. Just automatically I guess...
