And here we are, coming in late (as usual)... The winners of the strapline competition. So many cool entries. A lot of similar ones, and unfortunately that meant we couldn't put those in the final ten. There were lots of "Burn, Baby Burn!" and suchlike, which would have been so cool to see on a cover if we'd only had one entry for it...! I love the winning entries, though, so a huge congratulations to everyone who took part.
And the winners are...
Hugo Peach
Evan Jenkins
Harriet Langley
Tom Wood
Jack Holton
Ashan Ali
Laura MacKenzie
Nigethan Sathiyalingham
Phoebe Ryall
Megan Smales
All the winners receive two signed glossy prints of the cover with their own strap line. Awesome.
Oh, and to remind you, the comments section below is NOT for spoilers!

*tackles Nix* HI!
*Grabs Snowy's arm again and drags her back* Snow, the punch is evil. It's always evil. You need to clear your head, OK?
NIX
*tackles him*
-turns to Sparky-
I'm from Sydney.
*turns to Alex*
I'm from Seattle.
Feel free to remind me, Alex. Sorry if I was a but preoccupied enjoying myself
Hahahaha...
Yes.
*continues to twirl*
*Waves* It feels just like when I came on here... All we need is Ink, now.
Has... Has it started yet?
And... Rose, where are you from, again?
Nix! Hi!
It, uh, started 12 hours ago.
EMBER!!! yes
*is giddy*
*twirls, pulling deathy with me*
-causes Adra to drop glass, spilling drink-
Adra, i didn't know you were so clumsy.
Yeah, about.... Twelve hours ago, Ember
Central Victoria. *Shrugs* It's too small to tell you specifically where I am!
Hi everyone! I'm back!
#ChaseForBook9
Nix. Hello.
*whispers to Adra* What does the ring do?
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls at Alex* I'm the clumsy one, not her. Stop forcing her to drop stuff.
Yeah. Oops... *walks past him to Trip* Hi
That... That's impossible. It's 9:13 a.m for me on the first of September.
Aretha! *hugs*
Punch? *offers punch*
#ChaseForBook9
*twirls deathy around*
WEE!!
*Walks to seat away from others and brings out notebook* *Starts writing*
*nods, smiling*
Right, right.
I didn't.
(I have a MENTAL link with Adra. I can control small things in her body, and anything I say in italics is a mental message, I'm not speaking in the rp)
Seattle! [Nods]
Hi Ember!
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah.
It started at midnight on the 1st. Aussie time.
Hi Aretha.
And... I don't remember
Hello September! How are you? You look well. Are you well?
#ChaseForBook9
So, what have I missed while sleeping?
*Looks up and smiles at Aretha* *Returns to writing*
How did I miss this by twelve hours???
Evil mirrors. Some more lunacy.
Hi Ari!
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs at Sparky*
*grabs deathy and twirls*
It's still going on. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
*grins*
Alex, what I think about you is why you seem to enjoy being such a clueless asshole so consistently.
And I really don't like thinking it.
Thinking it makes me feel sick with myself.
...
So, thanks for that.
It is stil going on for more than 24 hours, Ember
Well, it's clearly linked with you dropping that drink. I'd say mind control. At exactly what level is hard to say... but nt complete, that's for sure.
#ChaseForBook9
*Yanks away from Snow and goes back to her seat* *Glances up every now and again while writing*
*grabs Miles and starts dancing with him*
(BRB)
*frowns* Well shoot. Now even Sparky is doing normal Ball stuff.
Well that was sudden.
*tries and fails to dance properly*
*the punch wears off*
*walks up to deathy and sits*
sorry...
*takes out laptop and writes too*
So... Yeah
*frowns at Snow and Death*
You can't just sit there and write. You're at a ball. I mean, I'm deliberately obnoxious, but that's just how I always am.
You really could try a bit harder, Zath.
Or is two left feet chronic in metalheads?
*breathes out* Well.
*turns to Trip* It appears that the moment is soon coming to a close so...
Fuck it.
*grabs the lapels of his jacket kissing him*
Hello Nix.
Um, Val led a conga line of doom, there were these weird fiery eyes and a lot of shipping. Also penguins.
#ChaseForBook9
well, ed left and nothing else is happening, so i am writing.
Hey! I called you Zath!
How bizarre.
*snaps fingers* Oh, yes, the conga line. I'd forgotten about that. That was the closest thing I've done to dancing.
It's what I did at my sister's deb, I always write.
*arches an eyebrow at Adra* Holy cow.
*mumbles to Miles*
I feel like I'm being ignored again...
Oh shut up.
*gets it right for a second*
*beams at him*
See?
Not too hard.
*you aren't Sparky!*
*Val you have been gone FAR too long*
So...
Yes...
Hm...
Yeah I have no clue what I'm doing
*eyes widen for a moment, then kisses back, taking a handful of her hair*
#ChaseForBook9
*jumps up* HOLY SHIT YES!!
um... ahem... sorry...
*goes back to typing*
*ships VERY VERY HARD OHMYGOSH TADRA*
#ChaseForBook9
It was more difficult than it looked.
*spins her*
And that was just weird.
Msd.
*yells at Trip and Adra*
KEEP IT PG-13 GUYS!
Nix, I haven't a clue what I'm doing either.
*frowns at Adra and Trip* Don't you guys need to breathe?
*grins, still kissing him*
-a flowerpot suddenly disintegrates, it's contents spilling over the carpet-
*gets spun*
Not bad, not bad.
*sighs, looking at trip and adra*
*frowns even more* Breathing, guys. Breathing is necessary.
...
Alex, why?
Why did you do that?
How was that necessary?
*Walks over to the flower pot and begins cleaning up the mess while humming*
Sorry, I'm not trying to ignore anyone.
I'm just sort of distantly watching with an amused smile, I guess.
#ChaseForBook9
Rose, make your boyfriend stop acting like a dick to me.
*doesn't notice Alex, too caught up in the moment*
#ChaseForBook9
*Sighs* Know what? I'm not in the mood for any of this anymore. *Vanishes*
*coughs loudly to see if it'll make either Adra or Trip look up*
My God. Apparently breathing isn't necessary.
*completely ignores everyone because I HAVE GILLS*
Death? Please don't leave! *hugs tightly*
#ChaseForBook9
YOU AREN'T UNDERWATER
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
WHAT VAL SAID
*walks up to trip and pulls him away. teleporting him to the other side of the room*
((*hugs Rose*))
*looks away from Trip and Adra* Gross.
So, Nix, how are you? I'm trying to ignore the kissing that makes me uncomfortable. So how are you? Good? Yes? Hopefully?
Bye Death.
(Circulatory breathing beatches. Trip wanted to play the flute, and that's the only bit he ever figured out. He just... couldn't. It made him quite annoyed.*
#ChaseForBook9
I am good, thank you very much
How about yourself? Good? Bad? Average?
Um, did I offend you Snow?
#ChaseForBook9
no, just i was getting grossed out :P
I'd say average, due to the fact that I finished LSODM earlier, which ruined my life, and now Adra and Trip seem to not breathe air which confuses me, but aside from that I'm fine. A bit bored, though.
... Please don't teleport in my house...
now, i g2g, BYEE!!
LA LA LA LA IGNORING LSODM UNTIL I CAN GET IT LA LA LA
Bye Snow. *grins childishly*
Byeeeeeeeeee Snow!
#ChaseForBook9
-walks up to Adra-
I need to talk to you, somewhere else. -leads into a secluded room-
*sneaks after Alex, undetected*
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns at Alex* It doesn't matter if it's secluded if the rest of us can see what's happening.
Yeah, so, we've got some Father's Day thing on so I've got to leave now.
I might drop the occasional comment every ten minutes of so, but essentially I'm gone now.
Try not to miss me too much.
The game.
*frowns* What?
Why am I following you?
*tackles Moose* BYE!
But it's secluded in the roleplay.
Bye Zath!
Bye Mist
DAMMIT ZATH!
Okay, see ya.
#ChaseForBook9
And yet the rest of us can still see it. Also, did I mention? I read minds. Surprise.
You are a wonderful person, but I have been given an order by the people I work for, and it must be followed through.
Valkyrie, I place seals in my mind, so that no one can get into it. If you do, it would cause you extreme pain and trauma.
Right...
*mumbles*
Fathers day...
*takes a step back, pulling a knife out of what seems like nowhere*
Riiiight.
*throws a chair at him, sprinting in the opposite direction*
And my character Ivy, who can read minds, has already experienced extreme pain and trauma, so she can deal with it.
SPOILERS
Ummmmm.
#ChaseForBook9
Fight?
I have not fighten in a while
*frowns* Spoilers to what?
*blurs into Alex and knocks him down*
*pins him easily*
Alright, dipshit, I'm drawing the line at you assassinating party guests.
-free runs after Adra, vaulting or ducking past anything in my way-
The book I don't know Val
That's not a spoiler to the book. That's something Ivy can do that I made up. Y'know, in my story.
-throws Sparky off-
Crazy bitch..
-continues after Adra, and catches up to her, shoving my blade into her ankle-
*glares at him, performing her own parkour-esque moves*
You aren't the only one with light feet
*blocks the blade* What the hell.
[Melts Alex's blade if it is any kind of metal]
#ChaseForBook9
*energy catches Alex, trips him up and secures him to the floor Trip walks over, hand splayed*
#ChaseForBook9
*leaps on top of Alex*
That's it, bastard. No one's calling Sparky a bitch.
*stabs you in the fucking eye*
(And don't bother saying you dodged or anything. It's a waste of a comment.)
I don't want to do this, Adra. But I have to.
-shoves my blade into her larynx, pulling it forward, stripping her of her windpipe-
-teleports away, leaving Adra to choke on her own blood-
Meh, cannot be bothered
HAHAHAHA SURPRISE
*heals Adra's throat*
How many examples do I have to make before people realise they can't get away with stuff when I'm in the room?
#ChaseForBook9
*watches everything happening and sits dejectedly in the middle of the floor*
It's all fighting and insults and antagonising and I hate it.
And it's fathers day.
(Forget that last comment, since everyone fucking tackled me)
It's Father's Day?
Who knew
It is in Australia.
And it's severely dampening my mood.
*joins Sparky* Oi, hey, cheer up. It's still a party. It just needs to be refocused.
I think it's australian father's day.
#ChaseForBook9
*walks into ball awkwardly.*
Hi.
Sure.
-laughs as everyone tackles me, and looks over at my ring-
Oh, this is going to be good.
-ring lets out a burst of light, throwing everyone to the edge of the room, crashing pillars and crushing tables-
-teleports away-
*looks around*
My treehouse...
Wow. And this was supposed to be a party... *is distant and not-all-that enthusiastic at the moment, so I'm not really participating...*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Sparky* Don't be upset. I hate it when my friends are upset. It makes me upset too.
...
#ChaseForBook9
Ah. I was going to say...
*shakes her head* Prick
*glares at where Alex was last standing*
*gets up and angrily starts picking everything up*
*hugs Sparky*
We still have tomorrow guys. When DEREK actually PUTS UP the post
*smiles and hugs Adra back*
Cheers.
*starts cleaning*
Hm. Well.
We were having one, then we got attacked.
The show must go on. *energy rights fallen furniture, and soon the ballroom is back to how it was*
#ChaseForBook9
But, for the record, this is why I don't like teleporters.
I'm not saying they're all cowards, but it certainly makes it easier for them.
*helps clean as well* Well.
@Ari
Exactly...
:-/
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Blaze.
#ChaseForBook9
*Watches the fight from the rafters and sighs heavily*
*applauds Trip's clean up method*
Let's have a party again, shall we?
*waves hand slowly around the room, putting everything upright and then goes round duct taping the stuff that is broken.*
-teleports Adra into an Arena with me, crowds surrounding us in chairs like a stadium-
A fight to the death.
-flips out blades, and darkness coils around my hand with the red glow from the ring-
*looks up at Rose*
I'm sorry.
Eld! I didn't see you- *hugs*
*blade
[Also helps to clean]
#ChaseForBook9
*appears* *house repairs itself* *disappears*
#ChaseForBook9
Ari you ok? *goes to hugging*
Wait-
No.
No!
Not now am I doing this.
Thank you, guys..
*sighs irritably at Alex* I do hope you're aware that you only have one eye. I stabbed it out a few minutes ago.
I have to go in about five minutes.
I feel like everything was repaired three or four times, but I can live with that
*Flicks out pen and writes on her wrists*
NICCOLO CROATOAN YOU OWE ALEXIS A DANCE MISTER
Hi Eld
[hugs Death] :-/
#ChaseForBook9
Apparently you aren't going to let up on this.
But wait until after the ball is over, at least
Hey Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
Death...?
-appears back in Chester-
I swear it's not me..
It's Gauntlet, or Dwyer. Hide Rose. NOW. If Judhipor comes as well...
-slumps down, and appears to be dead-
*tackles Sparky* NO DON'T LEAVE
*nods* Hello. Excuse me I need to track down the 531 year old and beat his arse
I'll try to stay but...
Chances of that are slim.
But I'll be back soon after.
Hold on, who rps for Niccolo again?
*Shrugs* Alex, I don't really mind if I get killed. Judi's been restrained and ain't coming out again.
Hello Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
You know Alex, not everything is really an rp in this place?
Ugh.
Guys seriously... Could we not being the plots in right now? I love them as much as you but some people who don't come often are here... Can we not enjoy it without violence? We can do it when the ball is over, yeah... But please not now.
That's my ded
Aretha though he basicaly is his own self merely speaking through Aretha.
HEY HOBBIT! HEY FABI! HEY ADRA! *huggles*
*stands up and hugs Adra*
*clicks fingers and electric energy flies into Alex* He won't be getting up any time soon.
LET'S PARTY!
#ChaseForBook9
-stands up, a glow of darkness surrounding me-
Hello, all.
Hey, Trip, what's your magical discipline?
*hugs Sparky*
I just... I just wanna hang out with the oldies because god knows when the next time will be, but we do this stuff every day... Pleaseeeee
Yeah I was like what...
Guys remember we agreed we would pause the plots. So all my chars perfectly remember Niccolo nobody who died is dead (unless you actually killed them for a reason to no longer use them) and I thought Niccolo's emotional state was sane because he asked Ari to te Ball and so godhelp me i will track his arse down and beat him here to the Ball
((Disregard my earlier comment, as Trip has already seen fit to fix the house))
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls at Dwyer* You annoy me.
Mum actually needs me to do something but...
If we ignore him he can't do anything to us.
