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...

*horse tiptoes up to Aiden*
*whispers* Do you think he's asleep?
*pauses*
*turns*
*farts in Aiden's face*
*Screams* IT WAS HER!!!!!!!!
*runs away*
*explodes*
Anyone alive out there?
One in As is struggling, I'll admit.
Wanna see a little frog I found while walking earlier tonight?
*Aus
And yes, that is my hideous hand.
AWWW FROGGY
indirect message
(this person may not even be online rn so don't be all like "oh it's me i know it's me" bc how do you know?)
you think everyone believes you?
nope.
not me.
i can see right through your disguise
you're a bigger attention seeker than me
and that's saying something.
it's pathetic really
the way you think
you've convinced everyone
i've talked to a few others
and they agree with me.
you can't stop lying, can you?
little white lies, little white lies
*sits in tree* So I turn 16 today. I can actualy legally go take my driving permit test
I've narrowed who your talking about down to one person. It doesn't really help that you posted that after I posted my first comment. And if you are talking about me, then in all honesty, I don't give a fuck.
Because I know what's really goin' on. You guys can choose to believe or you can choose to ignore.
*hugs Zaf*
Happy birthday, have a great day. :)
*hugs Death*
That's a cute frog :)
*disappears*
Happy Birthday Zaf.
I'm going to sleep now.
Night.
Death - I'm actually not talking about you.
Tbh, she isn't even on Blogland.
She almost was.
She said she'd come on
and I said that
She wasn't online
bc she might come on
Didn't I tell you not to go out, didn't I?
You did you did
Didn't I say the world was cruel, didn't I?
You did, you did
Then tell me how this happened
What I did wrong
Tell me why can't we just go home Shi
And forget this dreadful night?
Didn't you say that you were different didn't you?
I am I am!
Then say you aren't that person, say it!
I am I am!
Then tell me how to act Dad
What to say Dad
Tell me why all you ever told me
Every word, is a lie?!
*musical break*
Didn't you say that you'd protect me didn't you?
I tried I tried!
Is that how you'd help me is it?
I tried I tried!
Don't help me anymore Dad
You are dead Dad in my eyes
Someone has replaced you
Dad I hate you go and die!
*Shilo storms out*
Didn't I build a house a home didn't I?
Didn't I raise her all alone didn't I?
Then Rotti took her from me
Stole my Shilo he's to blame
Have I failed my daughter?
And let the father die?
And let the monster rise?
Thanks Rose! Sleep tight! And thanks Mara
And besides, Death, I try to make it a rule that I don't hurt my family.
I actually kind of suck at it though...
:P
*hugs Zaf*
*giggles* I'm in a good mood! Repo!
*looks from side to side like five-year-olds when their father has just slapped their mother*
Ari: If anyone slapped my mom, no matter who it was, I would scold them intensely (what I mean by scold is basically just growl in their face) and threaten to hit them. And if it was someone outside of my family, I would hit them with something wayyyyyyyyy harder than a slap. My dad would never hit my mom, though. Like, ever, under any circumstances. I ship my parents really hard. <3
#ChaseForBook9
Mad girl,
Can you believe what they've done to you?
Wouldn't they stop
When you asked them to leave you alone?
In all your fairytales,
How did the prince say he loved you?
How did your father die?
Was he a good man?
Maybe, someday, you'll know
#ChaseForBook9
Hai Ari!! *hugs Nic*
Ari: Hello, Zaf. Happy Birthday!
#ChaseForBook9
Thanks! Apologizes answering calls
*blushes* Can Nic hug me back?
I'm walking round with just one shoe,
I'm half a heart without you,
It's so quiet
Back in four hours!
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time,
And maybe listen to my own advice!
I tell her to speak up,
Tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder,
Be a bit prouder!
Tell her she's beautiful,
Wonderful,
Everything she doesn't ses,
You gotta speak up!
You gotta shout out!
And know that right here,
Right now,
You can be beautiful,
Wonderful,
Anything you wanna be!
Little me...
*see ugh
Holy crap msd people be coming soon
I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*dances around in a jubilant fashion*
#ChaseForBookNine
There have been very few comments whilst I was gone, I must say.
I woke up in the morning expecting there to be stacks of them, but nope. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
(Blogland is just dead without Adra.)
(I never realised quite how vital she was.)
(Damn. O_O)
(I mean like, she's always here. Always.)
(This is wandering slightly off-topic, but you know that old song?
The old grandfather clock was too tall for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped
short
never to go again
When the old man died
(and my mum always starts singing the next line or so but then she stops, so I only really think of it as going up to there)
And anyway . . . we were playing that song on the handbells on Wii Music, and it's so sad. D:
I had tears in my eyes.
I ship grandfathrxclock, you know.
It's just . . .
D:)

#ChaseForBookNine
*grandfather
*still cannot type :P*
#ChaseForBooknine
Ari: Heterophemy is the accidental use of a word that isn't the word you meant.
#ChaseForBook9
@Ari: Really????
I definitely do that a lot. XD
Hi! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Yes, that's why I said it. :) Hi! Shall we liven the place up a bit?
#ChaseForBook9
Um. Yes? No? I don't mind?
(damn, this is what being away does to me. It took me and my friend about a quarter of an hour to try and make every decision because we both insisted we didn't mind.)
Yes?
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Yeah, that's happened to me before. Moss said a while ago that she has dance for four hours, and Zaf has a birthday party, and I've no idea who else may or may not show up, but we might as well do something fun while we're here, right? Make the place more inviting for other people?
#ChaseForBook9
Yes. *nods*
It's funny, how even though I know many Bloglandians, Blogland just hinges on a few . . .
Um, yes. *nods* To what you were saying before, I mean.
#ChaseForBookNine
No, to what you were saying, and I said yes, and then I said something else, and then I repeated the yes . . .
*facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
[Jade:]
I feel so numb
Staring at the shower wall
It's begun,
The feeling that the end has come
And now the water's cold
I tried to eat today
But the lump in my throat got in the way
[Jesy:]
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a hundred times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off, I can't sleep
These four walls and me
[Leigh-Anne:]
I lay in bed
Can't seem to leave your side
Your pillow's wet
From all these tears I've cried
I won't say goodbye
I tried to smile today
Then I realized there's no point anyway
[Perrie:]
In this time I've lost all sense of pride
I've called a thousand times
If I hear your voice I'll be fine
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
These four walls and me
[Leigh-Anne, Jade & Jesy:]
Oh oh oh
[All:]
And I, I can't come alive
I want the room to take me under
'Cause I can't help but wonder
What if I had one more night for goodbye?
If you're not here to turn the lights off I can't sleep
[Jesy:]
These four walls and me
*Slithers in* All three of us.
(Sorry, I'm trying to juggle all of my homework, and I figured I might take my breaks here.)
*waves to Adra and Mara* :)
I was thinking the other . . . week, about how your names both end in 'ra'. O_O
And they're both four letters and both include to 'a's.
I would say that it's maybe because you're both awesome, but I know other awesome people who aren't you (like, ME) so yeah. :)
(Although my name ends in four letters and has two 'a's and ends with an 'r and an 'a' like you two so YAH.)
@Mara: That's an awesome song. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*'r' and an 'a', not necessarily in that order.
#ChaseForBookNine
(then again, LM ARE awesome.)
(yes, my thoughts are moving slightly out of order, and I'm not adapting my typing to remedy it.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Hey, look at that! More people! Hi people! *hugs all of the people* *even the ghosting/considering being here but aren't really here people*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Ari, Star and Adra*
Star - I love it:)
Apparently it's about a loved one dying:/
As in boyfriend/girlfriend yano.
But some people are saying it's about them dumping you iDK SONGS ARE CONFUSING
wbd btw:/
That is true, Star. Ra. Hm. Like the sun god.
On the 28th of August, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and delivered to a crowd of eager Americans a speech that defined what King imagined a future America as. He, along with many other writers and thinkers over the centuries has been re-examining what it America stands for, and understanding what being an American truly entitles.
The utopian idea known as the American Dream was first formed and introduced through the writings and tales of those who occupied the New World at the height of exploration and colonization.
^ That very well may be my best hook and thesis I have ever produced.
Man.
Technically, you can interpret songs however you want. :)
(That said, I always want to know what it's ACTUALLY about. :P I like having things all correct in my brain.)
#ChaseForBookNine
(Although I know there are still some small grammar issues)
I really hope i get a snow day.
Not a break this weekend..
@Adra: Yay!!! :) *hugs*
Well done!
Grammar issues are everywhere. -_- Small ones leak by undetected.
(I mean, really, you can speak however you want so you as you're understood. REBEL AGAINST ORDER! But, you know, grammar issues annoy me.)
And - *crosses fingers for an Adra snow da*
*I mean, a snow day where Adra is, not a day where snow Adras fall from the sky*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: *hugs Adra* That is a nice hook. I hope you get a snow day!
I want more snow where I live... I mean, I get some, but it always melts before I can use it.
#ChaseForBook9
*day
@Ari: And event the people who aren't people?
#ChaseForBooknine
Ari: Of course! It would be discrimination against not-people if I didn't include them, too.
#ChaseForBook9
*even
(although a day where snow Adras fall form the sky would be cool. :))
@Ari: We haven't' had any yet this year! :P
My friend was singing "Do you want to build a snowman?" and I just told her we couldn't because no snow. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I heard it's supposed to be -13F on Monday. Hopefully that will be chilly enough to stay out.
My favorite stuffed animal is a non-person. Sort of.
@Ari: *nods* :)
#ChaeForBookNine
Ari: I'm booooooooooored, let's do something fun.
#ChaseForbook9
@Adra; *Nods*
It sounds cold.
Some might argue that Hunter isn't a person.
But they're just racist. :P
@Adra: *nods* There you go, you see. Now we can include your stuffed animal. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Alright, what do you want to do?
Hunter is a person.
Everything is a person. Even a tree.
And my stuffed animal duck named the Ducktor.
@Adra: Yay. :) :)
And, of course he's a person. *nods*
@Ari: What would you suggest? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello! How are you all this fine day? Well I hope?
Anybody here? *curious face*
Sorry. Yes. I am sort of here
Hey Rhydian! :)
Sorry, I'm writing. :/
A CRACK IS NEVER JUST A CRACK
unless, you know, it is.
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh right. Hello then Adra! :) how are you?
Hey Starry!how are you?
Ari: ThinkGeek.com sells bouquets of plush kittens and unicorns. :)
Of course, right after I said I was bored, lunch arrived... Sorry. I'm back now!
Hello, I'm cold. Talk about a shiver.
Ari: Do you want... To... Play a game?
#ChaseForBook9
Hm.
So anyway- fun things..
Are you going to try to murder us?
Ari: No. Why would I do that? Did I just inadvertently quote a horror movie, or something?
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: I hope you warm up soon. :/
@Rhydian: I'm good! :) Managing to write pretty well. O_O
You?
@Ari: Wb! :)
Which game would you suggest?
Oh, wait - I have to leave in like fifteen minutes or something, so, um . . .
#CHaseForBookNine
I'm good-mostly Star :)
Aye, you did.
Oh. Well, goodbye if you leave, Star
@Adra: Mmh. :/ Goodbye too, I suppose. :)
@Rhydian: Well, mostly is better than less than mostly, so that is good! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: So... How about that airplane food?
...I could just do something dramatic, and then see what happens.
#ChaseForBook9
You're not killing anyone..
I wouldn't let you.
Shush.
Um
We could.
...
Go
Er.
Winter sporting
Ari: Well, I never said I had to kill anyone.
Or not anyone you know, anyway.
Or maybe just not immediate death.
Or maybe I can just do something else.
#ChaseForBook9
Al... right?
Ari: What kind of winter sporting might we do?
#ChaseForBook9
ah.
Um.
Skiing?
Or snowboarding, it's a preference
MY SISTER IS MAKING A CARD FOR MY BROTHER.
AND ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
IT'S ACE. O_O
LOOKY! *points*
IT LOOKS AWESOME. :)
(And the white scribble is me removing his name because internet safety, so um yeah.)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Wow, that is pretty cool, Star.
Did Rhydian vanish?
#ChaseForBook9
That's pretty, Star
That's cool Star :)
I'm still here Ari. Just a tad distant
Ari: Oh, cool Rhy. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Ari: Sorry, I might suddenly disappear...
#ChaseForBook9
Oh. Okay. Goodbye if you go
Gtg now. Bye! *hugs*
Bye Rhy
YEAH, IT IS PRETTY COOL. :) THANKS.
*not really here*
*will be here in maybe an hour?*
*maybe less*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Oh, look, I might be back. Maybe I'll write something.
#ChaseForBook9
If you wish. I know Star will be here soon
Ari: oh! Hey Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello. Welcome back, by the way.
Ari: Thanks. *hugs* ...You want to play truth or dare, even though there's only two of us? More if you count non-physically existing people, but you know.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs*
Sure- I could add in some of my own non-existing people, but I'm not sure if I can get into their perspective right now, although I could try.
Ari: Well, if you'd rather not, that's fine too. We could do some snow-sporting instead.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm fine with either one, really. I think you are as well.
Uhm.
Pick a number between one and ten.
Ari: Three. Definitely three.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh shoot.
I forget which number was which.
WAIt
no
it's truth or dare.
Ari: Ok, cool. And now I'm wondering how many non-physically existing people I should bring... Niccolò, obviously, but should I bring any others, too?
#ChaseForBook9
Hiiiii
The dance studio was frozen this morning. Frozen.
So I did the first half of ballet in my warm-ups.
And then later, after the heater had been running for two hours, the contemporary people had the audacity to say it was cold in here.
And then the people from ballet were glaring at them. :-P
Anyway, hello. [hugs]
If you want, bring anyone. I might do the same.
Well.
Actually
There are quite a number of people.
Hm.
Eritan and Hydra are there.
Wb Moss.
I'd love to take a contemporary class...
Don't worry, I'm inventing an instant transporter so I can teleport you over here for one of Ms. S's classes. :-)
[Completely ignore the fact that I've been working on this since I was ten or so. I'll get there eventually]
[I'm also working on making my room bigger on the inside so I can install a dance studio! XD]
Ari: Hey Moss! *hugs and vigorously rubs her arms to warm her up*
I could introduce Freck, and/or bring back one of my much older muses... Verecruz had six siblings.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, whomever you like, Aretha
Ari: Ok, just the three of us.
Would you like to join us for Truth or Dare, Moss?
#ChaseForBook9
Hm. Is this in Blogland, or the wonderful and amazing tower in San Gimignano?
Ari: Either is fine with me.
#ChaseForBook9
Hm. Well, I might prefer Italy. Simply because it is warmer, and very beautiful.
Ari: That it is. Ok- would you like to go first?
#ChaseForBook9
Ah- um. Sure.
*Pauses*
*Thinks for a moment*
Aretha, truth or dare?
*Eridan and Hydra are wrestling in the background*
Ari: Um. Hm.
Freck: *whispering, progressively louder* Dare! Dare! Dare! Dare!
Ari: *shrugs* Dare, then.
Freck: Yes! Make it a good one, Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
I'd love to play, but I'll be distant/emotional because I'm writing... And working on Ari and Niccolò's Christmas present.
I'll bring in any characters, I guess...
(Hai
Ari: Oh. Wow. Ok. You really don't have to do that... The christmas present, I mean, not the writing... Anyway, I'll look forward to reading. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Ari: Hey Zaf. :)
#ChaseForBook9
*Adra doesn't even know who that person is, but goes with it anyway*
*Is suddenly faced with an issue of coming up with a dare, and no matter how amazing it would be if she told her to kiss Niccolo, that wouldn't be fair on them*
*Thinks*
Hm.
I dare you to go down to the street and profess your love to the first person you see.
*Points behind her* Elevator's there.
(Hai guess ill be distant
Well, I'm doing it. Deal with it. :-P
Hi Zaf!
XD
Ari: ...Right. *heads for the elevator* *once on the street* *runs up to the nearest stranger* Wait! Before you take another step. There's something I need to tell you. *bends to her knees* I love you- what's your name?
Stranger: *slightly baffled* Niccolo- but, what are you doing?
Ari: *holds back a gasp* *holds back laugher* ...I love you more than life, Niccolo. Can you find it within you to return my undying affections? *turning a little red*
Stranger: *looks slightly disturbed* *steps around her and walks away very quickly*
Ari: *whispers* All Italians are named Niccolo... *facepalms* *walks quietly back to the tower*
Freck: *laughing madly* *but her laugh sounds light and sweet, so even though she's laughing like crazy it really doesn't sound mad* Mm, I ship it. *not referring to the stranger*
Niccolò: *sighs*
Ari: You can join us if you want, Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Zaf
-
*Adra smiles from where she's sitting, and wraps her blanket around herself*
I can I guess
JDKQINDHIJWIJDJOQOJSOJSSJDJJDHFUWJDIKWDI
OH MY
JDINSIHDIHISJOJS
Just watched Pitch Perfect. Omg.
"Why do you call yourself Fat Amy?"
"So twig bitches like you won't do it behind my back."
I AM LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF
Apparently it looks weird with safety glasses, earbuds and an owl hat.
TOO BAD
Maralieeeeee!
Ari: Hi Mara! We're playing truth or dare- you can join us if you want!
Hydra, truth or dare?
#ChaseForBook9
Freck: Right, though?! *laughing at Ari*
Ari: *shrugs and laughs at self*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Mara
*Hydra looks up from where she's sitting on Eritan, strangling him*
*Her tongue flickers* Dare
Ari: I dare you to eat lettuce!
#ChaseForBook9
ALL ITALIANS ARE CALLED NICCOLO! XD
Not really here. Writing, and talking to siblings. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Maybe hello, then, Star. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Hello everyone! *hugs*
Ari - Ooh, do you mind if Harralie both play? If you do, it's fine:)
*Hydra grabs a lightbulb and breaks the top, then stuffs it into her mouth with some lettuce, crunching thoughtfully on the two, swallows, makes a face*
*Hydra hisses and points to Freck*
I love the paperchain going up in the back of that picture. :)
*waves to Ari* :) *waves to everyone else too*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Of course I don't mind! We'd love to have Harralie play!
#ChaseforBook9
Freck: *eyes gleaming* Dare!
#ChaseForBook9
Where Nic?
Niccolò: Pardon?
#ChaseForBook9
*Hydra points to Eritan* Snog him.
*Hydra steals a packet of Adra's apple juice and sips it*
*Eritan glares fiercely at her*
...
I think I might just ghost, actually.
[hides behind something or other]
As it turns out, I'm an awful lot like Luciana is.
Even when I pretend not to care, I care more than I can even begin to explain.
So, uh, hello. I guess.
And happy birthday Zaf, perfect. I love you, gorgeous. <3
Also happy Australia day? (idk).
*hugs Lantern* *unsure of emoticon I should use here*
#ChaseForBookNine
Freck: *blinks* *shrugs* *slides over to Eritan* Do you mind?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Mushroom! :)
Is Zaf here?
*scrolls upwards*
Oh, yes. :)
Happy birthday, Zaf! :)
I meant to make you a card, but then I went on that sleepover, so it'll be late, sorry. :P
Um . . .
*back to Mushroom*
Caring is good. :)
*hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
Ari: Hi Luci! *hugs Luci* *hugs Moss* Ok, Moss...
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Lu
-
*Eritan sighs, and shakes his head*
My parents came home an hour early and my brother and sister were just sitting in my room chatting so then they just kind of scuttled back. XD
(They shouldn't have been here, really, but I was just sitting here and they wandered in and they were speaking in normal voices (not whispering like my brother does when he sneaks into my room and chats when he's meant to be asleep) so I was just kind of sitting here typing giving the occasional input into the conversation and also I HAVE NO AUTHORITY WHATSOEVER REALLY so yeah. XD)
(Um . . .)
(Anyway, they scuttled. It amusing. :P)
#ChaseForBookNine
W-O-R-D
We're coming up
K-k-k-k-keep it
Keep it coming up
So do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick,
Mama, come on, baby
Tell me what's the word
OW!
[Perrie]
Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister
And your mama, too
Cause we're about to throw down
And you'll know just what to do
[Jade]
Wave your hands in the air
Like you don't care
Glide by the people
As they start to look and stare
Do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby
Tell me what's the word
Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
[Leigh-Anne]
Now all you sucker DJs
Who think you're fly
There's got to be a reason
And we know the reason why
You try to put on those airs
And act real cool
But you've got to realize
That you're acting like fools
[Jesy]
Give us music
We can use it
We need to dance
We don't have the time
For psychological romance
No romance
No romance
No romance for me, mama
Come on, baby
Tell me what's the word
Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
W-O-R-D UP
W-O-R-D UP
W-O-R-D UP
W-O-R-D UP
W-O-R-D we're coming up
Dial L for low
K-k-k-keep it
Keep it coming up
So do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick, mama
Come on, baby
Tell me what's the word
Word up
Yeah, yeah
Word up
Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
Word up
Everybody say
When you hear the call
You've got to get it underway
Word up
It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard
Yeah
Loving the coils, by the way
OH MY GOSH when I was thinking this scene out in my head the other day I had a really good conversation opening and now I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS ARGHHHHHHH and now they're just kind of sitting there like *awkward silence* and I'm just like CONVERSATION OPENING WHERE DID YOU GO.
Um.
#ChaseForBookNine
Freck: *smiles* Good. *pulls him into a hug and kisses him*
Ari: *considering* Do I ship it...?
#ChaseForBook9
YOU. ARE. AWESOME.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm so sorry, I have to go. At least for a little while... Tyler's kicking off... :/
Sorry.
I love you all. <3
Ari: Love you too, Luci! *hugs* Someone else take the dedication- I already have three, and I don't want four. Three is the best number. It needs to be three.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Lu

*Eritan does his best to not make a sound*
*Or freak out*
*Adra, way off to the side, pulls another blanket over herself, watching them, with a bit of bread and cheese, nibbling on it*
[waves to Lucy]
[hugs people]
Why do I even write, anyway? It's just making me emotionally unstable as I think of twist after twist, and there's basically nothing on paper...
Guys There was a mall shooting 30 minutes away from my house....
And also
Hai :3
*hugs Luci*
Freck: *he doesn't seem to be freaking out* *she was dared to "snog" him* *so she doesn't stop*
Ari: *nods curtly* I think I ship it. *sits down next to Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
I'm so sorry to hear that, Jubi-bean... [hugs]
Hello, Jubi
Ari: Oh... *hugs Moss* *hugs Jubi* *hugs everyone else, too, just for good measure*
Thanks, Adra. :) *points to Tesla just casually reading his book next to a giant coil that he invented* *sigh of admiration* Too epic for this world...
#ChaseForBook9
Ari: Unless someone else already took the dedication, I'll ded to the victims of the mall shooting, and to Tesla. And if someone else did take the ded, and is writing it now, I'll just add that onto theirs.
#ChaseForBook9
And- I heard a few people have deceased. Those poor families.

*Eritan, uh, tries to not make, uh, himself, uh, stiff as a board*
*Uh*
*Adra doesn't take notice of Aretha, and is too busy eating her bread*
:( *hugs Jubi*
Fours, Mushroom! :( Love you too. <3
@Lantern: :/ *hugs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*gives supermegatacklehugsofdoom to everyone* haaaiii!
Hey Em! :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
HAI EM!
Ari: Hey Em!
Freck: *stops kissing him* *hugs him again before letting him go* *smiles sweetly, since her face isn't good at making grins or smirks* I like you. Call me sometime.
Ari: I have to leave for a few- I'll be back around half an hour, probably- so someone else can take her turn. Sorry! *hugs everyone*
#ChaseForBook9
*Eritan stares at where Freck's voice is*
*Sighs* Right.

Goodbye Ari

Hello Snow, Hellboy! *hugs*
@Adra that sounds like a tough one indeed. I'm no expert, but hazard or wasp-yellow seems to be the way to go.
I'm tired, is all. As Snow said, today's Australian day, so we have people over in a couple of hours and it should be good :)
Heya Mara! *hugs back*
