First of all, this is a cat (Pooper) who has just discovered that the small sitting room has been housing a rather large snake for the past few weeks, while Laura and her sister try to figure out what to do with it. Pooper, as you can see, is quite wary.
It was at this point that I started taking random shots of the room, and a thought occurred to me: "Aha!" this thought said. "I have your new blog post!"
I'll give a proper guided tour of my house at some later stage — probably once my extension is built — but for the moment, here is what greets you when you walk through my front door....
Naturally I have the posters for the movies I've written on prominent display...
... and of course I have what EVERYONE has in their halls: a severed foot in a glass case.
Now then, to the office!
I'm not going to show you the ACTUAL office (the ACTUAL office is really very messy at this moment in time) so I'm going to show you some of the things I have on the shelves. Such as these gentlemen...
Plus a little Evil Dead...
... and some Marvel folk hanging around...
And let us not ignore Star Wars...
... or zombies...
And here, tucked away on their own little shelf, Skulduggery and Vampirella. Just chillin'.
(That Skulduggery is a pretty rare promotional item my German publishers had made... It's not for sale anywhere except MAYBE eBay.)
And now, to the main living room. I'm not gonna show you everything, but this is the room I had designed and rebuilt as a live-in museum. The extension, if I ever get around the designing it, will be built specifically to house this stuff. Because it makes me happy.
And here it is, the suit I love to talk about... as worn by Christopher Reeve.
I do NOT dress up in this. I swear I don't.
Although if someone wanted to photoshop my head onto this mannequin, I would not object.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4948 Newer› Newest»Well, it's alternate Trip. When I first heard about him, in my mind, there was only one thought; there can only be one.
But now I've met alternate Adra, one, I don't know if I could widow her, two, or kill her if it came down to it, and three, what if he's just as nice a guy? How can I kill him? What do I do?
#ChaseForBook9
(what are all the alternate/parrallel people everyone is talking about?)
Just my wounds..
do you need help?
I guess... From my standpoint, it isn't your decision whether or not he dies. I can bet you he feels the same way, that he deserves to live and you don't. You seem to think that you are the real, only true version of yourself- but he isn't a copy. Not really. He's just... Like a part of you. He is you, just in a different climate.
*shakes her head*
Don't kill him... If this all works out, we can send them back to their planet, and stabilize it enough so it's habitable. Their dimension needs balance as well...?
I think I'm fine...just burns really ((her whole left side is burnt her face isn't bad its neck down its horrible she can walk and stuff but it hurts))
*throws a bottle of red liquid up* it will help the burns
I understand he's me, but I have secrets to protect, and if I know me, I'm going to be using them against me.
Plus, isn't their plan to kill us and take our place?
#ChaseForBook9
(is anybody going to explain please?)
Alexis: *goes and gets it putting it on Momma's wounds*
I don't think so... When Edward went back in time, that created a blip, and their records showed that we all had been wiped out.. I believe their true intent was to just inhabit this planet.
Well, from what I've heard...
And if it gets down to it, then use his secrets against him. Besides... I know of a really good distraction if you need it... but I really really hope you don't have to kill him..
Well to be honest, I'm not all too keen on the idea of 14 billion people living here, they can't stay here.
#ChaseForBook9
(Um... Basically, there's an alternate universe and it's falling apart, so they're all coming here.)
#ChaseForBook9
*throws apples at trip unless he explains*
(thank you trip) *stops throwing apples*
I understand that- that's why we're going to find a way to stabilize their planet. If not, somehow get a TARDIS over there..
*space time explodes due to the irrationality of that comment* Darn.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, we don't have a TARDIS.
No one does.
#ChaseForBook9
I haven't seen Niccolò today...
Akexis: I do want to see him but *lays beside Momma braiding her hair*
Alexis baby...
Alexis: *kisses cheek* Momma!
planet jumping *runs around in a cicle then dissapears*
Rhydian has one....?
*shakes her head* Well we can't just have them in this universe either! That's... Unstable. If, for some reason, we can't save their planet then they still have to go back...
*reappears with two more figures*
Or- I dunno, what will the extinction of the human race mean over there? I have a feeling it's about as equivalent as here.
CAN YOU NOT GET US ALL KILLED CAN YOU JUST GO FIND A CORNER JONATHON?!
So then. How do we save their planet?
#ChaseForBook9
i am not getting anybody killed zaf.
ed Parrallel: exactly
john Parrallel: hes right
*buries head screaming into pillow*
Alexis: Momma...
This is the hard part... They didn't say exactly what happened- just that it became unstable. If there were some kind of thing that could be done to release the built up pressure, or calm it... If would take a hell of a lot of elementals and a few alchemical symbols here and there... Anything else that can be done as well...
So if we can find out what's wrong, we can fix it, yes?
#ChaseForBook9
On theory, we should... Everything can be countered, right? If memory serves, we have a history of doing the impossible, anyway
john P: parrallel universe then?
yes, every decision made is opposite
ed P: ok then, i will not return to my planet. i wish to speak with myself here
hes dead
So next, we need to go to their dimension. Niccolo is the obvious choice, but as he isn't here, how do we do it?
#ChaseForBook9
ed P: i shall travel back in time to find myself in this dimension
gtg, back in an hour
(Actually, that isn't it John.)
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: I am here.
#ChaseForBook9
Bye John.
Can someone give him the link to the nameless chapter when he gets back? I'm on my iPod.
#ChaseForBook9
Trip its called you don't go over I can easily minick what Niccolò did to go over but dare I do so
Well, actually- that I don't know. I got in contact with AU Aretha and she said that she was giving me a three-day period before I call her and by then she should have a way to get over... If not, she said to get a shunter.
Oh, that saves us a problem.
#ChaseForBook9
*hissea in fury* I want to do something to help!
*pulls put maracas* WELCOME TO MOSCOW! *puts them away*
Then help. Come with us, we can always use an extra pair of hands.
#ChaseForBook9
Then help. Come with us, we can always use an extra pair of hands.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm still sticking to my theory to help Niccolò
Nic, would you mind taking us to the alternate universe?
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, but does it help Niccolo, or yourself?
Food for thought.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs into her blanket to cover up the sound*
I'll join you and...*sighs* why bother? Nobody wants us together I should just give up on life
Zaf... Not this routine. Alexis, get her up, we're going to save billions of lives.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: Not at all. *vanishes and reappears with Aretha*
Aretha: So, we're going to try to save their planet?
Zaf- what theory?
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *comes down with Momma* I'm in.
Nobody touch my left side please it'll hurt me worse
And maybe punch that bitch alternate Alexis and her boyfriend a little.
Okay, a lot.
#ChaseForBiok9
Niccolò fears no longer being himself. Yet he says sometimes his more sadstic names influence him. What if he managed to allow John Smith to influence but not take over fully like Niccolò would be himself but John influences certain things?
((It was on the other page))
... *reaches out from under the table and grabs a bottle from the table and pours herself about three and downs them, shaking her head* *coughs* Ah... I should use water next time.
Aretha: *glances at Niccolò, and sighs* I really kind of wish Alexis and Cristofer were nicer...
#ChaseForBook9
In other words, who he fancies.
#ChaseForBook9
Zafira, I'm afraid you would just be lying to yourself...
And we are, Aretha
Alexis: I want to meet Cristofer
He's still not himself, just someone who likes Zaf in stead of someone who likes killing people.
#ChaseForBook9
So you rather him enjoy killing innocent people? This is why I give up
Niccolò: That is indeed an interesting theory, Zafira. I have given plenty of thought to the possibility, myself, yet I have found-
Aretha: Before he goes into a long winded explanation, it's a good idea, but it doesn't work. He can't just pick and chose pieces of his names to attach to himself. He's not, like, a Mr. Potato Head. So he could give John some influence over himself, but instead of only changing a few specific things both names would mix. So he'd like you, but he'd also like me simultaneously.
#ChaseForBook9
?
No. But it doesn't solve his problem, just makes his problem better for you.
#ChaseForBook9
Dear, you really need to get out more often.... *reaches up and gets herself an apple and finds a small basket, loading some foods from the pantry into it*
It was worth a shot...*shrugs*
I get out all the time!
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: *quietly* I don't enjoy killing innocent people... Well, not presently, in any case...
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* Wrong "dear". I was referring to Zafira. But you do as well. *finishes shoving as many foods into the basket as humanly possible.*
Right, are we going or what?
Took the words out of my mouth.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: Whenever everyone is ready.
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs going to Niccolò and hugs him for a second letting go* There you go. Niccolò I never will ever believe that you enjoy killing people...Maybe if we survive this para universe you could let John out...even if for a few minutes I would like to meet him
((Guys if I do go eat take Alexis and I with I'll junp in as soon as I finish eating))
I am! *grabs her two rather cumbersome bags, shouldering each of them and her basket*
((Kay.))
#ChaseForBook9
GTG EAT ((Niccolo take Alexis and I ok? I'll jump in wherever you are Niccolò))
just saying hi, so...
hi.
BYE!!
Ready.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi/bye, Snow!!))
#ChaseForBook9
Hi/bye Star.
#ChaseForBook9
((okay, Snow lol?
Bye Zaf))
*Snow. Damn autocorrect.
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolò: *shunts everyone to the same place in the parallel universe*
#ChaseForBook9
Thank you Niccolo.
#ChaseForBook9
.... It looks the same.
Well then, let's get to work, then?
Niccolò: Of course. What do you propose we do?
#ChaseForBook9
Well, first we need to set up a base or point where we can always regroup... Any suggestions from the masses?
Argh! *doubles over in pain, holding bullet wounds*
#ChaseForBook9
((flies in randomly and hugs people))
((flies away, muttering about pterodactyls))
#ChaseForBook9
Guys. I think I'm really slowly teleporting. *seems almost transparent for a moment and then disappears*
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Fabi!))
Aretha: Trip! *runs over* What's wrong? Did they open back up?
#ChaseForBook9
(Night all.)
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: What the heck?! Trip! Where...? ((Darn it Trip! *glares* Goodnight.))
#ChaseForBook9
*stares at the space where he was* *takes a deep breath* Right.
As I was saying- suggestions?
((And by goodnight I mean you're awesome and I love you lots, and I hope you have a good night. I don't mean goodnight like "just leave already". Just to clarify. Night!))
#ChaseForBook9
Aretha: Um. No preference, really. I hope he's ok...
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm. Right then... *glances around in a circle* Where to go....
What do we do? ((So wait do we continue or go back to our universe and shunt over tomorrow?))
((We already shunted))
((I know I said go back))
((You guys can- I'm staying))
((I don't see the point in going back. We can try to save the world without Trip, and he can help again when he comes back.))
#ChaseForBook9
((Its up to you I feel bad doing this whole thing without Trip...but I mean we can if you want just go on because it isnt hard for us to go back even say Niccolò isnt on I now have the ability to shunt now i have seen and expiernced it))
.... *points to an older looking house* There.... It has a good vantage point. It's on a hill. Stone- so it won't be easily burnt. The bottom looks pretty well-structured too...
actually, it looks more like the runes of an old castle, but... *shrugs* It can work
((Alright okay lets go on!))
*looks around* so how do we stop the end of this place?
Alexis: I feel like we need to balance the energy
((Hey, he's captured anyway, or whatever that was- so he would have been gone anyway))
Aretha: *stares at it, grinning broadly* It's gorgeous! I love it!
#ChaseForBook9
Well let's go then... *heads up the hill*
*Alexis and I follow Adra*
Alexis: it's pretty
Aretha: *sprints up the hill excitedly*
Niccolò: *shifts into crow and flies into the building, then back out to Aretha, landing on her shoulder*
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis: *looks at Niccolò grinning* come on my shoulder Niccolò *has a brightness in eyes excitment*
*walks through a hole in the wall into an open area where the roof had been removed, open sky above*
hmm... Five floors. Be careful with them- they could give out at any moment
Alexis: *goes into the house* I could go up! I'm small enough to
*comes in* my necklace feels cold
Ah, well... I wouldn't know. It's an old castle. You're probably picking up old spirit energy.
*picks around until she finds an old staircase and goes up*
Probably. It feels old...this is strange Adra I never expiernced this before and I've been in a graveyard dating to Niccolò's time. *cautiously goes up keeping Alexis in front of me*
Alexis: Well I hope I see Cristofer
*calls out into the open space* They won't be here, Alexis- not when I get finished with this old place. *sets her things down in a room with the remnant of a fireplace*
back, but got to go, bye
So what do you need Alexis and I to do?
In the home universe:
ParaFabi talking to random para-person, who I'll call Martin:
Martin: What are you doing out here barefoot?
ParaFabi: What are you doing out here with shoes on?
Martin: What?
ParaFabi: I'm talking to you.
Martin: Yeah, I know that, but...
ParaFabi: I'm dealing with the other me. If she's anything like me, she'll be up to something.
Martin: I see. Well, why aren't you wearing shoes?
ParaFabi: No idea, does it matter?
Martin: Um, I suppose not.
ParaFabi: Is there some sort of no-shoes-no-service law in this world? Would shoes help me make other-me go insane? Do I pay you to question my lack off footwear?
Martin: No...
ParaFabi: Then shut up!
Martin: Wait, insane?
ParaFabi: She hasn't conquered the nightmares that I did. I can basically lock her in a different reality with the mention of a few names...
[Cue the stereotypical evil laughter]
[Actually no, ParaFabi doesn't find this funny or amusing at all]
[It explains the carrot-thing though... And it's something to do...]
#ChaseForBook9
Bye, Edward.
Well... We'll have to get someone who has a clue what happened...
I can find Javier in this place probably...
hey.
*scowls* i have to write a story at school, and i've started but i have no clue where i am going with it...
oh, and promotion alert: you need to read this *nods* :
http://minioin-zone.blogspot.com/
*pats Snow's shoulder reassuringly*
Ah dear... This won't end well.
*raises eyebrow at adra* right...
I mean only if you want....
JavierP: Zafira? Zaffy?
Jesus... *rubs her temples* here we go...
Yes?
JavierP: you...you aren't...what do you guys want here?
*sits on ground, looking at everYthing going on* i might just watch for a while...
((Hi Snow...
((Actually, hi everyone else, too...
#ChaseForBook9
HEY Fab
About to shoot you in the face...
Hi Fabi!*hugs*
what are you on about, adra?
Javier- don't worry about it.
JavierP: What do you guys want? You know this is pointless that our world will be gone....
(( [hugs Adra back]
((I think I'll go write... Wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
wbd, writing.
Okay Fabsi! *hugs*
*begins to pull things out of her bag and place them out into the floor in the room*
Let me know what you need help with
Alexis: *stays close to Momma*
JavierP: Ah hello Alexis...
Alexis: Dad?
JavierP: So you say...*kneels to her height and hugs* You are smaller and innocent I miss you like this...my version of you is dating Niccolò Croatoan's nephew...nice young man but I did threaten his life
*sets up some heavy duty equipment including computers and trackers etc... Then a blanket to sit out on*
*sits beside Adra*
JavierP: *smiles and takes Alexis' hand sitting with her*
((i have writers block *sulks*
(( i really need hel and my friends just say "thats nice" *glowers*))
((I assume safe to say Ari has vanished SO its you and I in this universe Adra))
((They haven't embraces the power within))
*turns on a computer, plugging in speakers as music begins to blare through the speakers* *grins, picking up a blue paint can and going around the inside and outside of the building with it, drawing symbols*
*help
(( Ditto on the writer's block, Snowy. :-( [hugs] ))
#ChaseForBook9
*watches her while inside*
JavierP: *smiles leaving* good luck other Adra *walks away*
Alexis: *lays head on Momma's lap* I'm scared we may end up dead
*sighs*
((can i be in the same universe as you guys, it is a little boring not being able to do much...))
((*hugs fab* it's got such a great orientation but at the development, i've faltered...))
Other Adra? *frowns* I'm from this universe though...
Dammit Javier
((Go for it Niccolò said everyone when he shunted so just assume you were with us))
Awkward moment when you realise that your waist is almost below the requirements of modelling... Heh... 62cm...
Wait Adra? Where are you from?! My universe?
JavierP: *comes back* Ah Zafira is wanted though...
*))
*walks up to zaf* hi. *sits*
*looks at alexis* you alright? you look worried...
Alexis: in okay!
Hey Snow
No, Zaf. I'm FROM. HERE. *shakes maracas*
(( okay, i really really really need some help here... the story is, basically: things are bing stolen all around the country but there is no sign of a break in anywhere))
You're....from this universe?!
*leans back, looking at the roof*
*sighs*
*whispers to zaf* i thinks she's trying to get him to trust her...
*glares*
And you think you know me. *rolls her eyes, pulling out some sage and whisking it around the room to activate the symbols*
JavierP: from here? Ah like me you didn't want to go over in case their Niccolò shunted. Ah. *nods* well Mevokent said we ought to get the other versions of people who know Niccolò and Aretha
*hums, lying down*
I know- I saw parallel me. What a pretentious bitch. Seriously. She thinks she's all that.
*does a handstand casually*
so...
JavierP: the other me deserves better then Zafira *goes to and grabs her*
Oh hell! *punches*
JavierP: *focuses on*
*falls to knees screaming mouthing 'Alastair'*
*kicks Javier in face, still standing on hands*
Javier, there is a time and place...
*flips back onto feet*
right, i g2g.
BYE!! *waves and teleports away*
JavierP: *lets her go*
*gasps shaking* what the hell?!
*walks over* Javier, please. If we stay much longer, we'll get caught... Niccolo and Aretha will be back soon... We need to get back to Mevolent before we're killed
JavierP: Of course. *nods to Zafira* take her too I'll take the child
*hides on roof, listening*
((wbd, msd))
No.... Leave them. We'll get chased otherwise.
JavierP: No we won't we have orders Adra!!!
And if we bring them then we'll be terminated. *murmurs, giving him a knowing look* Trust. me.
JavierP: No. Don't lie.
Uno
I dedicate this page to being healthy. And to Niccolò the ahem very ahem good...lookguywhoilike
Oh and to Derek's house which is awesome
*grabs, him pulling him to the side* Javier, if Aretha and Niccolo get back and see that All three of us are gone, don't you think they'll get a little confused? Besides.. *grins* I have the place loaded with destructive symbols. They take one step out, and they're dead. Trust me- they're like hamsters in a cage
JavierP: .... Alright. Lets go.
*eyes widen but i stay quiet*
Thank you. *goes through the same hole in the wall, a blue sheen over it, dragging him through* We can enter and exit... They can't. These keep in those not from this universe
JavierP: Alright. Lets go to the Palace *takes her to a portal into the Palace you see the holographic figures of Mevolent's Three Generals, obviously over in the regular universe* I thought you went over with them no matter its just a few of us over here, Mevolent assured we would get over safely
*makes a note*
*stays hidden*
*nods* Of course... *smiles* I had to stay... To get as much time here as I can before it's gone
*whispers* what are you playing at adra...?
JavierP: I understand. I hope to get to my wife and girls soon. Before the ah...explosion happens. I hope Niccolò tries to escape I wish to see him suffer.
((Uh... Snow? I don't think you're near me :P))
((i cant hear you, but i can see you and i'm talking to myself!! ))
*scoffs, walking forward* Of course... Did they ever say exactly what the cause was? Does Mevolent know?
I WANT TO BUY HIM.
I mean like the Skulduggery figurine.......
Not like anything creepy or something....
((OOOOOOHHHHHHHH))
((XD))
JavierP: no but we all know it's going to explode so it obviously won't be safe for us. Unlelss tiny bits of human are able to live
So...
He doesn't know? *frowns* I find that hard to believe. Where is he anyway? Is he still here?
*sneaks a bit closer so as to hear what is being said*
((feel free to spot me, i'm dying for some action))
JavierP: No. He went over to the other universe with everyone else he's searching for Aretha Tesla. You saw what their version of Zafira looks like, he set her treehouse on fire and she nearly died. It was fun watching a heathen suffer.
*two Redhoods grab Snow*
*mutters* ah, great.
*waves* HI!!
