Just to let you know that World Book Day is this Thursday (well, it is in this part of the world, anyway) and to celebrate Alex Barclay and myself will be holding two events. The first, in Kildare, is pretty much sold out, but the second one is in Easons in O'Connell Street, Dublin, at 6 PM. We'll be there, talking about... stuff... and books... and writing... and, er... annnnnyway...
Because this is somewhat last minute, I'm not expecting that many people to turn up to the Dublin event, which means it'll be a lot more casual and chatty than usual. If you're interested, get in touch with Easons to reserve a place, and we'll see you there.
Toodles.

OH MY GOLDEN GOD
Adra - YOU SAID STOP BECAUSE YOU WERE DYING BUT I CAN'T D:
I AM IN HYSTERICS
#ChaseForBook9
Beach?? ME!
It's cold and it's raining where I am at the moment and I WANT THE BEACH! :D
MIthria, come to Florida. WHile it has been raining a lot, it is DEFINITELY NOT COLD.
Mara, that was me.
Florida? Oh yes, I'd love to go there! Just leaving cold rainy Germany behind... *smiles* Wonderful idea!
We can swap for a coupla days.
It was raining as I ran into hodges and figgis yesterday and it was raining three hours later when i left.
still great time though.
Who/what are Hodges and Figgis?
OH MY GOLDEN GOD. THE LITTLE THING MY COMPUTER SHOWS WHEN IT'S REFRESHING LOOKS LIKE THE FACELESS ONES SYMBOL. *DIES*
It's where one of Derris signings were.
I was at it yesterday.
I keep having to restart my computer because the audio keeps dying. I'm trying to playlist this song on YouTube, and I can't beacuse it has two versions and most of the videos don't state which video their version is, so when the audio goes, I have no way of telling, and I have to restart the laptop.
It is, as you can all imagine, amazingly fun. -_-
Anyway. Hello. I'll try to not disappear. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh gods math homework.... No. Just no.
Hi again Star!
@Eden: Mortal Coil is probably my favourite . . . but idk. I keep changing my mind.
I had a nightmare (a kind of mild nightmare, but still) about Remnants after reading Mortal Coil once, so it got bonus points for that. XD
I HAVE MATHS HOMEWORK TO DO!
*looks at it*
*ignores it*
#ChaseForBookNine
*doesn't have any homework*
*dances*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Kes! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*shimmies around*
*glares at Kes and her lack of homework*
#ChaseForBookNine
There are three days of holidays left! :) *is happy about those three days*
*grins back at Star*
I can't wait until Wednesday.
Epic Wednesday.
Get to leave college at 11:05, be home by 12:30 and play Mass Effect for 4 hours until my family comes home. What's better than that? :P
*attacks Mithria because of going back to school 3 weeks ago*
*attacks people because school started four weeks ago*
*hides because of Kessies attack*
Three days... *wispers*
*rips off skin*
*charges at Mithria*
Dragona, you're in college? You're so OLD!
Three days... and then? New school, new people, new teachers, everything new. I'm so afraid of that... :(
Kestrel, I know! I can learn to drive in a few months :D
*tries to have sympathy for Mithria*
*fails*
Um. Guys, I'm still a vampire and the other day someone stole my serum....
*attempts to rip Mithria's face off with claws*
My mum keeps worrying about me going faster than I should, but the car I want has a top speed of 89 miles per hour. EIGHTY NINE.
It'd take about ten minutes to actually be able to get to break the speed limit, and by that time I'd have to slow down anyway. I doubt the car could even get to 89 without breaking down xD
BUT it's an awesome car.
OMG! Vampire!! *tries to run away*
*pushes the air and knocks Kestrel off her feet*
VAMP!!! :p
Dragona, how old do you have to be to drive?
*hisses at Dragona*
*abandons Mithria and jumps at him*
People, I don't know any words for fighting in english! So bear with me, I'll have to look up a few things :P
Thankyou star only nine more left. Woohoo.
17, Kestrel.
*counters her leap with a barrier of air that slams down into her and cuts her jump short*
@Dragona: Our campervan says it can only go up to sixty, but we haven't taken it above fifty-five, and rarely much above fifty . . . :P
That car sounds cool. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, 1980 VW Sirocco if you're interested in looking it up. ^^
Dragona, so you started college early? Or is 17 normal wherever you are?
No problem Mithria!
*jumps over air barrier and slashes Dragona's leg*
Well I started college a few weeks ago, am not 17 yet. But yes it's normal.
*pushes the air to jump out of the way of her slash*
*watches people fighting waiting for the moment to intervene *
Um.
*doesn't participate in fight as I struggle to roleplay as myself and also, I'm not involved in it*
#ChaseForBookNine
*flips and lands on feet*
*growls*
*pounces at Dragona's head*
*is really out of practice Blogfighting*
Ah. Here we start at eighteen.
*draws both his katanas and clicks his fingers and they burst into flames, but do not start melting*
Dinner, I'll be back later!
*knocks Kestrel to the side by hitting her with the flat edge of the sword*
*spins his katanas in his hands*
*kicks Kessie in the face* oops
@Kes: In England, you finish normal school at sixteen, can go to colledge for two years afterwards, and can go to university after that. :)
Although, you now have to stay in some sort of education until you're seventeen, I think. :)
Seventeen or some age like that.
Nobody cares, but - THE AUDIO CUT OUT AGAIN, BUT I'VE WORKED OUT HOW TO TELL THE VERSIONS APART (one is half a minute longer than the other) SO YAAAAAY!
#ChaseForBookNine
*bites Adra's leg*
Look, could someone just find serum?
And then, Dragona, and use MY katanas. Which are coolio, and I haven't used in over 8 months.
Starr, thanks. So University is your version of our college.
Why am I even being a vampire? It's not even nighttime.
*lies back lazily tapping sigils on the back of my hands and shooting energy balls absently *
I prefer my own, thank you. The metal has been magically altered to be as light as possible, and yet the blade is completely indestructible.
Wait-
YOU BIT ME
Dragona, sorry, I meant /I/ can.
Aha.
You can use katanas too. Awesome. ^^
Yes, Adra, I did. That's what happens when you kick a vampire.
*sheaths his katanas and then drains the moisture from the air* *surrounds Kestrel with a swirling vortex of water*
Seriously, though, can someone turn me back? I'm getting bored.
...
DOES THAT MEAN IM BECOMING A VAMPIRE?
*plunges Kessie's serum into her leg and stumbles back*
Adra, in three days, yes. Until then you have to obey me! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Someone go and find the serum whilst I keep the vampire busy.
Adra, I don't have any serum. It got stolen.
*claws at the water sphere prison thing*
*finishes smashing box of serum*
Sorry what did you say?
*changes the water into a giant sphere that swirls around Kestrel, then alters the temperature in the air so it freezes into a strong ice prison*
Really, Eden?
*tries to attack Eden*
*is stuck*
@Kes: You expect me to have any anything? XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*scratches at ice*
I.... I could make one? I'm sure I have one somewhere back at the lab.
*nods*
*keeps adding more water to the prison then freezing it to keep it strong*
Star, not really...
I'm more hoping that there's someone who works for a Sanctuary and can get some from there.
Kessie I emailed you the videooo
#ChaseForBook9
* piles a bonfire of serum lights a match and dances around it as it burns *
it's so beautiful.
*thrashes violently*
Thankies, Mara!
brb, watching video.
Hehehehe
#ChaseForBook9
* throws bottles of serum in the air shoots them with an energy ball and watches dazzled as the glass explodes. *
Does anyone need this stuff before I destroy it all.
Helllllloooooooooooo!!
*giggles*
Brb.
GIMME IT, EDEN!

#ChaseForBook9
Bye Kessie!!
Bye Kessie! *hugs* Wb, Mith
Hi Mithria! :) Fours Kes! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah well Derek never kept his promise to me *looks down at ground walking away*
Star, I have a stupid question. You always say Fours when someone leaves but I couldn't find any translation for that... so is it just another word for bye?
It's a Star thing :3
Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabs
Yay Harry Potter weekend
Why do things take so long to upload? -_-
[Nods] It's a Star thing.
Hello Adra, Mith.
@Mith So far, my dragon looks like a pink hippo. XD
#ChaseForBook9
HEY FABIIIII! :D
Hello Zaf, Willow.
I hope everyone who met Derek today had fun!
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah I wish I could go to a signing but....
*nods vigorously* it sounds like a ton of fun y'all- I hope you tormented him
@Fabi: Pink hippos are cool! *nods* My very first thing I created with beads was a banana. And even that looked... not like a banana. Dragons are more difficult than bananas, so... I think a hippo is a good start! :D
Brb.
So quiet *sighs*
@Mith You're so NICE! [hugs] Thanks. XD
I've made flower bracelets with beads before... We learned how to on the last day of fused glass, since we couldn't make anything to send to the kiln...
#ChaseForBook9
Yes...
[Starts loudly and badly attempting to yodel to fill the silence]
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at Fabi* I'm just telling the truth^^
OMG FABI! *laughs*
I can email the parts of the video to some people if you want?
#ChaseForBook9
Go for it Mara you know mine
Mara, if I may ask for the video? My e-mail is: veronikagra10e@rsvit.org
[Stops trying to yodel and blinks innocently]
[Waves to Mara]
#ChaseForBook9
Mbd. Watching DW on youtube^^
I only understand half of what they're talking about... They are talking so FAST! -.-
Translate to German then I'm American and I understand them well enough
Video? What video? What's happening?

Fiwofkekfkwhiakgiwifiakwngiwkgkwkfodjgkke

#ChaseForBook9

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww! Derek is so... aaaaaaaaah. You know what I mean?? I guess you know it. I just laughed soo much! xD
And Mara, it was you who talked, yes? Because I really like this voice^^ *smiles* That means I like you! I mean I knew this before but now I know it for sure. If this makes sense.
Mith - DEREK IS A TEDDY BEAR :3
It was, yep. My voice is actually horrible, and being on tape plus having a cold didn't help... But thanks :) *hugs*
Fabi - AM NOTTTTTTTT
#ChaseForBook9
Im dying of laughter
Hi Ed@
lol you guys
@Mara: YES HE IS!
bye everyone, back later
Bye Ed...
Bye Ed!
Hope Coco comes I am determined to figure out what he meant last night
I know you've never loved
The sound of your voice on tape...
[Pokes Mara]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Ed.
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf - Because of the video? It's hysterical XD
Fabi - Ha ha ha. Not funny. *pokes back* :P
And finally, a hug from the Golden God :) ➡
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, I totally envy you!! I WANT TO MEET DEREK! HE MUST COME TO GERMANY!!
Yeah it was funny xD
This is my third year in a row meeting him :3
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH OMG
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry I disappeared, my evening meal happened.
@Mithria: And, like Fabi and Adra said - saying 'fours' is a Star thing. It's my word I use for goodbye. :)
@Everyone who cares, aka nobody, but that's alright :): I FINALLY GOT THE VIDEO!!!! It took me around three hours. -_- I hate it when you have long ones like that. But because of the doubleversionedness, it was actually two videos, so that's okay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I am now afraid of wasps. Well I have always been afraid of wasps but now I am even more.
Sorry I'm a bit distant guys- I'm doing my five paragraph essay and waiting for a few RPers to come on (later), and get this knocked out of the way first.
It's hell. I've completely forgotten how to think
I'm waiting for Niccolo so we can continue our conversation
@Mith: :( I'm sorry to hear that. Wasps are scary; they go around stinging people. :P
@Adra: Yeah . . . about that game you were planning to play - not sure I'll be able to, on account of lateness. :/ For one thing, it's school tomorrow and I don't like staying awake late then, and it might start drifting into the early hours of the morning (which is a time I don't like to stay up to even not on school nights), and plus, wifi being turned off.
#ChaseForBookNine

Star, I'm watching DW - The unicon and the Wasp^^ That's the reason.
What game I never was informed....then again usually I'm not
OMG, this wasp-guy is really scary...
It was just an idea Star, I didn't necessarily mean tonight, I know all the "cool" people have to get some sleep :3
Except Fabi, she's behind us.
Or, well, the Aussies... Yeah *nods vigorously*
ont he bright side, i just fixed my little issue with the paper so I'm feeling a bit better, my brain was just overstimulated with all of the words
@Zaf: Adra adn Kes were just discussing it earlier. They informed no one, including me.
@Fabi: That ded is actually so brilliant! :) *hugs*
And YAAAAAAAAAAAY GONE! :)
And - oh my gosh, I can see ho HORRENDOUS listening to that audiobook must be. D:
And - SHIT. *has just remembered something*
Dammit.
#ChaseForBookNine
I saw that episode recently. [Nods]
#ChaseForBook9
Meh what to do....
@Adra: It's okay if you play it without me - it'll be cool to read. :)
And - okay. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Thanks, Star. [hugs]
Yeah... It will be normal for maybe twenty minutes, then pick the most horrible time to stutter for three minutes straight! CHARACTER might have dieeeeed and I can't tell, and I like CHARACTER!!! D:
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: It's the first episode of DW I ever saw! And I think I like this doctor xD He's funny.
No, Star you count for at least three people! And if we can't just land one night this week, then maybe on Friday. I dunno, it was just a tiny idea.
