LSODM Paperback
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, straight from the pen of Mr Tom Percival, the paperback cover for Last Stand of Dead Men...
Sooo utterly cool... and wait till you see the BACK cover... Wait till you see the cover for the Maleficent Seven paperback — a thing of BEAUTY, so it is...
Oh we spoil you with artwork, we surely do...

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 4969 Newer› Newest»Zaf, if you want to talk about LSODM, just email. Lots of people can't get it.
Trip; Okay :)
Snow; D:
oh! hello Grand Mage!
(Also, on the topic of the books, Precocious stands with Ravel, now and forever!
*salutes the sky*)
And I'm an Elder. Different Sanctuaries, though.
*yawns*
I feel strange tonight.
I think I've turned into a Zoella freak.
Now I'm obsessed with pretty things ♡
Yup! I can tell by your name!
(( SOOO MANY PEOPLE AND COMMENTS>>>> SLOW DOWWNNN))
...sorry?
There isn't that many comments, tbh.
This is what it's like on a normal roleplaying day~
I'm just plain awesome. Plus, head scottish spotter.
And by accident, I became High Lord of the hobbits. It's more of a hobby really.
Geddit? Hobbit, hobby?
It's not very funny, I know.
I'm sorry.
I'll go now.

(( *huggles all* ))
Lea: *takes the map and gets in his car, driving to the cave*
Trip I live in America and we are only waiting on an adult to read LSODM everyone who lives near me who likes SP has read LSODM somehow mind you I have the only copy around my general area and I got it 2 weeks late. I know tons of people in the UK and Aussie and Kiwi land who read it, like I said we're over reacting to this which is drivinf me insane we're never gonna be allowed to talk about LSODM in rp or talk if you want everyone to read it. Em was 2 months behind everyone but did she complain spoilers? No. You had a spoiler tag by this point you can add a spoiler tag and be fine its not the end of the war MOST Minions read LSODM
Zaf, not everyone is as privileged as you are. Mith and Taia don't even have KOTW or TMS yet. I know you don't see spoilers as that bad, you've shown this view over and over again, but the fact is, a large number of people will be hurt/saddened by moments that should have surprised them. And as Saph said, there's email. You don't have to ruin the a moment for someone else.
#ChaseForBook9
(I am going to, if I have the time, post some of the solo RPs that I have done, like the unicorn rodeo and the romp through Wonderland, on Superfluous Adventures, clearly marked so everyone knows they're not chronological, but since I don't really think anyone reads it it will be mostly a place for me to go off on solo tangents with Precocious. And Oscar too, of course.
Sorry, I'm feeling loquacious tonight . . .)
Are we fighting again?
I might just leave, then..
There were a lot of comments last night. And the first time I came on, there were eighteen people on.
Most of the people at Val's party didn't have it yet. If I hadn't gotten lucky this year, I wouldn't have it yet.
You're not the only Ameriminion in the bloody universe.
#ChaseForBook9
(I would rather like to sing a song, but I have nothing to sing, so I think I shall drink some tea instead.
*drinks tea*)
I left halfways through yesterday...so sorry to Saph is you were still talking to me or something...
You know what? Fine lets stay all touchy feely and be behind in the events of the series *claps hands* Anyhow! Due to off page events between Zaf and Ravel I am rping Zavel
((Bye Anni))
[hugs Mara]
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: *gets out of his car and walks towards the cave*
*stops half-way there*
*theres a strange rumbling*
*snow stumbles into sight in the mouth of the cave, battered and bruised and her cloths in shreds*
(Girls, girls, please don't fight about this. There are more important things to fight about. Like cannibalism in Papua New Guinea and wether or not Peter Capaldi will make a good 12th Doctor.
Hint: Yes, he will.
*sips tea*)
No Mara, I'm not getting into this. It isn't really worth my time. Looking for my dice is probably more important, but I've given up on that for tonight.
#ChaseForBook9
(Oh, okay then Fabi, I guess goodbye to you too then.
*storms away in a huff*
*comes back smiling*
I kid, I kid.)
Ameth; (Ooh, I like calling you that) Nah, don't worry :)
Ah... please. Don't fight. Different opinions don't have to mean this. If you can't be civil to each other, just don't talk.
You can call me Ameth! That's nice!
((Sorry, I must have misread something. My eyes are really watery right now. Apologies.))
#ChaseForBook9
:D
I'm normally reasonably sensible, but today seems to be a day of extremes. I was crying in the morning, and this afternoon I started dancing around in circles...
Hello!
Maybe not
(I would really rather not get involved in this, but I will say that tip-toing around spoilers can be very tedious and annoying, however it is also just plain courtesy and etiquette, and since when as courtesy and etiquette NOT been tedious and annoying?
It is the way of things.)
Aaaadraaa *hugs* *Giggles* Did someone put something in my drink?
I have to go now! Dinner time! Bye!
(Ah! Hullo, Adra!
I posted a lovely flashback just now.
Did you like it?)
(I also posted it on Superfluous, not that anyone looks there. Reasonable, since it only just started.)
Lea: S-Snow?
Snow: *turns slowly around, looking panicked* lea, what the hell? get out of here!! run! *glances over her shoulder* this... this thing will get you too if your not careful... get out of here! *looks really panicked*
Lea: i'm not leaving you snow!
Snow: god lea, this isn't the time for arguments. i've got to stop this thing before it gets anyone else. i dont want you in the danger zone!
*the cave starts to shake*
Snow: Run!
Lea: *wants to protest but runs anyway, crouching behind his car*
Ditto what Ameth just said.
-42
Anni; Do you have any Fro-Yo left?
Hi Adra.
By leavers.
#ChaseForBook9
(Tragically, much of the fro-yo was either stale or mixed with various measures of blood and effluvia. However, the coconut flavor could be salvaged.
*presents fro-yo*
No toppings, though.)
Bye Ameth! Bye Fabigail! *hugs*
Can't we just all stop fighting for once?
I swear to God, at least once every three days there's a fight here.
That's why some people stopped coming on regularly.
There are a few key people who always start these fights. I am not naming names. And don't you dare say something like, "of course Mara, I know you're picking on me. I know you're talking about me. Maybe I should just leave." because that is being an attention seeker and you are just trying to get everyone to be on your side and seem like you're the victim.
There are some people who say, "no, I'm not fighting," and step out. Thank god for people like you.
But then there are people who start fights and taunt the people who back down. You are the coward, not them. They are being the smart ones. You are being the attention seeking idiot. I'm beginning to wonder if those people actually start these fights just to get attention.
Some people here think the world revolves around them.
Reality check; it doesn't.
(( 42 the meaning of life the universe and everything))
*Dives on the coconut Fro-Yo*
*Watches Tadra out of the corner of her eye*
Wow. I haven't seen you two together in...
*can't remember*
I'm getting a strong implication towards a certain member of the halfling nobility...
#ChaseForBook9
*Agrees with Mara* Why would you want to fight?
Snow; Yes :D
(*holds up her hands*
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm just gonna back off and let y'all resolve this.
And Snow?
*tips her hat to Snow*
God bless you and every other Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan out there.)
I'm done.
I think you all should look up Same Mistakes by One Direction, and listen to the lyrics. Star, Fabi and I think they describe the position of Blogland pretty damn well.
*sits in corner* *puts on headphones* *listens to music*
*The cave rumbles and collapses in on itself*
Lea: no... no no no no no...
*stumbles over to the pile of rubble and collapses to his knees*
no...this cant be it... dont let this be it... please... just dont let this be it... *tears are streaming down his face*
Bye Fabibibibibubbles *hugs*
(I, my friends, am going to leave, because although I am Proud and Noble, I am also a Thing That Is Tired, and so I must withdraw.
So long,
and thank for all the fish.
*serenely swan-dives out of this comment thread*)
OMFG I love Hitchhikers.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
(( DUN DUN DUN!!))
lea: no. no, i wont let this be it... *stands up shakily and starts rifling through the ruble*
HAHA I DIDNT EVEN READ YOUR COMMENT
I was right!
I made a certain catchy tune irl for this exact situation... I'm gonna go and sing it for a sec. brb.
#ChaseForBook9
(( 42 42 42 42 42 ))
Hello Aiden. Bye Annika.
#ChaseForBook9
(( does no0one care that i could be killing snow? no? okay...))
(( *no-one))
I care! Nuuuuuu!
Bye Anni *hugs*
Hey Aiden :)
*Looks up lyrics* *Agrees*
All those special things
That make you who you are
That one in a million,
Like a flash of a shooting star.
Do you know, oh do you know, how special you are?
I’ve got this old to ded to do
So I think I’ll ded this page to you,
To Blogland, and the people,
Who make it a home,
Since I’ve come here, I’ve always known,
That I am not alone.
I love each little flaw,
Each funny moment, little quirk,
They only make me love you more
‘Cause then you’re human like me
That’s all you need to be
When life gets you low
Listen to this song, I know
It’ll be alright
If you are the you that only you can be
Then you are perfect to me
When life gives me hell,
It’s a little slice of heaven
Where you are all angels,
And I’d stay forever in
Here
If I could
So when life gets you low
Listen to this song, I know
It’ll be alright
If you be the you that only you can be
You are perfect to me
Skulcakes and heartbreak
As roleplayers die (again)
Cheese fights and the best nights
Of dancing in the rain
So when life gets you low
Listen to this song, I know
It’ll be alright
If you are the you that only you can be (No-one else is gonna do it for you)
You are perfect, perfect, just so perfect to me
Even if you don’t believe it
Or you’ve forgotten all your dreams
Hold on
They’re not gone
Not yet out of reach
Just be the you that only you can be
‘Cause you are perfect to me.
Blogland is my world,
You are my chance
To find where I belong.
And so to say
How much I appreciate it
I wrote you this song ;)
Hi Aiden
((I do, but I ain't feelin' all too vocal today. I spent pretty much all day locked in my room making models. I didn't even eat. 0.0))
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Zaf. :)
Trip; ...
(( okay then... i'll let her live... for now *evil laugh*))
Lea: *finds snow, scratched and bruised and bleeding from a hundred different places* no... *feels for a pulse*
*she has a very, very week pulse and has passed out*
Lea: don't die on me snow... please... *tears are streaming down his cheeks* please... i love you...
*picks her up like she ways nothing and carry's her over to his car*
*sits her carefully in the back seat and get in behind the wheel, heading back to blogland*
Ravel: You're Aiden aren't you? Zafira has told me a lot about you
*nods* Yes. I have...
My hair smells like candy floss ^-^
Lenow :3
Mara; I'm scared to asked this, but why?
Yes, I am Aiden. -picks up Apple and begins eating it-
And you are?
*mumbles*
So find me that, one ring,
'Cause you've got that, one ring.
Heh.
#ChaseForBook9
*lea arrives at blogland and stumbles out of the car, opening the back door and scooping snow out* come on come on... stay with me... *stumbles towards the bar but collapses before he reaches it*
*lays snow carefully on the ground*
*shouts* HELP! SOMEONE HELP, PLEASE!!
I think Mara's hair is made of candy floss.
Like |Princess Bubblegum's, except with candy floss, not bubblegum.
#ChaseForBook9
*Felt Snow's mind and is already bolting outside, sprinting to where she lies in a little, crumped heap.
(( and that is as far as i've planed... i could let her die...))
Saph - My friend told me to try this special shampoo, and it smells nice (◕‿◕)
*unfortunately, Trip is currently unavailable, as he is in a healing meditation in his loft/bedroom*
#ChaseForBook9
Lea: *sees saph* oh, thank god. thank god... *is still crying*
Snow; D:
Mara; Okay *breathes a sigh of relief*
(( fine, i wont))
Trip...
Are you singing One Thing, but with the lyrics changed?
I wish my hair was made of candy floss :o
My friend is obsessed with Adventure Time... ^-^
*Falls to her knees and eases off Snow's jacket*
*Doesn't look at Lea* medicine kit. Behind bar.
*Glances up* Now!
*sadly, Mara is in a state of crisis because of the Harry situation, so she's currently in her room crying and cannot help. Sorry.*
Saph - *laughs*
Maybe... *shifty eyes*
It's a parody on youtube, I'd love to have made it, alas, I was beaten to the metaphorical and literal punch.
Ignore that last part.
#ChaseForBook9
Ravel: Erskine Ravel Grand Mage of Ireland, I'm surprised you dont actually know me
Yeah...Aiden that shocks me
lea: o-okay *stumbles up and bolts to the bar, grabbing the kit*
*run-stumbles back*
*Gently examines her to look for any fatal injuries*
There's a nasty dent on her forehead... I don't know what to do.
Lea: *gently sits snow's head on his lap* do... do you know anyone who could help?
I try not to get caught up in that sanctuary shit, to be honest.
Face pressed to the window
Breath fogging the glass
Hard to keep on smiling
While you might be breathing your last
The wind beats at my jacket
The cold tears at my face
It's hard to keep on smiling
There are things you can't replace
Watching rosy faces
Laughter, chatter, friends
Hard to keep on smiling
When everything must end
Turn around and slowly walk away...
#ChaseForBook9
Trip - I used to get so annoyed because of parodies...
I was such a carrot lmao
(( *huggles fabi* ))
Ravel: *laughs* To be honest I wouldn't either but I was faced with the benefit of Ireland so I took my position for my country. Zafira...she wanted this.
*smiles* My dream actually come true
Adra? Is Adra here? She knows medicine.
*Takes the medical kit off Lea and starts to patch up the smaller wounds*
She's broken her left forearm and one rib. *Carefully treats a nasty cut on her head*
*one eye shoots open when Lea comes in* Mother- *feels a torrent of sadness from the 1D house*
...
#ChaseForBook9
Mara; A purple one?
Lea: i- i dont know.... i dont think so...
*Mutters a Ancient Greek curse*
Okay. This is going to hurt, but... could you get me a knife from the bar?
*plods down the stairs*
#ChaseForBook9
There's either an extra verse or a missing one... Sorry about that.
#ChaseForBook9
o-okay...
*runs back to the bar and stumbles in the door, looking around wildly*
Hello everyone! I might be distant.
#ChaseForbook9
(( hey ari. ))
*Pulls out bandages and antiseptic* *Applies a herbal painkiller to one side of her ribs* My poor Snow...
*Aligns the bone in her arm as best she can and splints it* *Wraps that in bandages* That's all I can do for that.
Hi Ari! *hugs*
Fabi; I like it.
Hi Ari.
Hello. May I help you. You appear to be in search of something to help a loved one. If it's a knife you want, I'm afraid we have none of them here.
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi Ari [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Ari!
Ravel: Hello Elder Tesla
Fabi; Is FabiTC around?
*curses*
Lea: snow... do you know medicine? anything at all about it? please... if you do, you have to help...
Is Mara still here?
#ChaseForBook9
(( IDK! ))
*lea turns to leave*
Around-ish, I guess... I'm distant, though.
#ChaseForBook9
(( this is insanely fun... *evil laugh* ))
I know a little. Not enough for that *gestures to her forehead* Not nearly enough. But I can try.
Right now, I'm trying to fix all her broken bones. But that rib... there's stones in the way, buried deep. I need to dig them out.
I can heal similar to Niccolò
*lea runs back to snow* theres no knife in the bar... *is trying hard not to cry again*
Oh my gosh, Snow...
...I don't really know anything about medicine, but my discipline is blood manipulation. I can't fix broken bones, but I can stop her bleeding, and help her make more blood faster if she's lost too much of it. Would that help, or have you already treated her wounds...?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm here, sorry.
Yes, well, I tend to be more of a.. rogue. I tend to fill bounty contracts, collect blood and debt.
*Glances at Zaf* You mean using Justaria? But that's risky. *Hunts around and comes back with a sharp rock* *Drenches it in antiseptic* *Hesitates* *Whispers in her ear* Snow... please don't hate me when you wake up. *Starts to dig out the stones*
(( sure ari, jump on in ))
Oh! You need a knife? I have one. *pulls one out of her pocket and hands it to Snow*
#ChaseForBook9
Ravel: You're freelance. Lovely. I see. I'm one of the Dead Men if that counts even though I'm an Elder but hey.
Ari; I healed most of her cuts, but I think she's lost a lot of blood. So yes, that would be great!
(( lol... snow's unconscious))
Its not risky for me i harness her magic without releasing her
*stares at the rock* Oh... Ok then.
*turns to Ravel, forcing a smile* Hello. My apologies for not greeting you sooner. It is an honor to meet you. *offers hand*
#ChaseForBook9
No, that doesn't really count for anything. Blood and silver, that's what keeps the world spinning. And I enjoy drawing blood from helpless victims..
A knife? *head shoots up* Yes please!
*knocks on Mara's room's door* Maralie? Are you all right? And don't say you are, because your sadness is making it hard to think.
#ChaseForBook9
Zaf; If you're sure... healing her forehead would use a lot of energy, but it might save her life.
*Tries not to retch as she uses the knife to match up the broken halves of Snow's rib*
*Searches pockets desperately* Where did I put it?
*looks up* I... I am fine. Honest.
*shakes hand* Don't faint Aretha I really don't want to make you on that list. *hears Aiden* You...you sound like a true name I hear of...Darquesse
Here, Saph. *hands her the hilt of the knife* *it's made of some nearly pitch-black metal, and is so sharp you wouldn't even feel it cutting you, but is also significantly heavier than it looks* If you give me something with her blood on it, I can work on making new blood cells.
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh, ok, I guess you already have the knife. Ignore the first part of that comment, then. Sorry. XD))
#ChaseForBook9
*Ravel:
((Sorry slightly wee))
Lea: *sits down next to snow feeling useless but wanting to stay*
*rubs eyes* Mara, I've been meditating for over 24 hours, I'm so synced up with the soul plain, I practically exist in both reams. And let me tell you, your emotions right now are like a tidal wave. sits down beside her* What's going on?
#ChaseForBook9
Right okay *places hand on her shoulder and heals her forhead gritting teeth and becoming slightly pale*
*Finds a needle and thread* *Carefully soaks them in three drops of iodine*
*Finds a tube of white paste for healing bones* Perfect. *Smooths it over Snow's side, ignoring the blood all over Saph's hands*
*Slowly starts stitching her up*
*laughs a bit, though it seems forced* I'm hardly the type to feint, although I thank you for your concern. I wouldn't have picked blood manipulation if anatomy bothered me. It's just, you know, it looks like it'd be sort of painful for Snow to have her insides dug into by a sharp rock, and I'd rather her not have to feel that when she wakes up.
#ChaseForBook9
*lea's eyes start to water and he looks away*
*mumbles* Didn't Adra tell you?
That is rather interesting, however, Valkyrie Cain is far from the dastardly things I've done, Ravel.
-flips out my blade, and starts skinning another apple-
(Sorry Ari! And thanks.) *Hands her back the knife, now red with Snow's blood*
I hate this... *Pulls the last stitch tight*
Tell me what?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm... Not feeling very well...
Actually, I'm feeling like I'm outside in the storm, peeking through a window to warm cozy Blogland, but somehow unable to enter it.
You didn't need to know that, though....
I might go.
I also might stay.
I'm really not sure...
#ChaseForBook9
About Harry. And the bet.
*snows eyes flutter open briefly before closing again and falling back into sleep*
Ravel: *looks at Aiden* Wait. Valkyrie is Darquesse? What...how?
(( *huggles fabi* do whatever you need to))
Fuck. Harry. And a bet.
This doesn't sound good.
What happened?
#ChaseForBook9
Thank you, Saph. *licks a bit of blood off the blade* *concentrates for a few minutes, then walks outside and spits* Ok, her blood is regenerating fast enough. She should be ok in a bit.
#ChaseForBook9
((*hugs Fabibibibibubbles tightly*
I've felt like that a few times, too...
Whenever I feel like that, I just stay away from Blogland for a while. Listen to some music. Come back in ten minutes. That usually clears my mind and... helps me feel better.
*hugs*))
I thought a swell like you would've already known that by now, Ravel.
*punches the window till it breaks and drags Moss in* There. Now you're here. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
*Cuts the thread and smears the last of the healing paste on top*
Oh God. I hope that's enough.
*Sits back and stares at Snow's pale face* *Looks back down at the red, red blood on her own hands uncomprehendingly and starts to shake, tears forming in her eyes*
Snow...
*lea gently strokes snow's hair*
Lea: *shakily* thank you... thank you all...
((Or, on second thought, Mara's advice is probably better, because I can't say I've ever felt exactly like that in regards to Blogland. Just, do whatever makes you more comfortable/happier.))
#ChaseForBook9
*mutters* Our whole relationship was a lie.
Harry got paid every week if he stayed with me. Apparently I was a "bird". And that I was playing "hard-to-get". So Harry and this guy, his 'friend' had a bet. To see who would get me first. And however long that person had me for, the other had to pay him £100 a week, every week.
It was all a lie. All of it.
*hugs Fabi* Love you. You belong here.
There. I healed Snow's forehead. *backs away* I rather ask Niccolò but seeing he...*sighs* I got it done
...
Mara, you know arranged marriages?
#ChaseForBook9
* colour slowly, oh so slowly, returns to snows face but she remains unconscious*
When I feel like that, I ghost until I feel like myself again. So I don't know what to tell you *shrugs*
HHEEH-LLLOOOO
That is a brilliant cover.
I want to read whatever story is behind that cover. I really do.
I bet it's an amazing story. That is a terrific cover.
Sooo... What up?
Hey, Thrust!
Snow's badly injured, most people are healing her, but I think SaphTC might be going into shock.
*looks at Trip* What do you mean?
((Hey Thrust *hugs*))
Hello againn
Hey Thrust.
#ChaseForBook9
*lea glances carefully at saph* are you... okay?
(Zaf, you gonna answer? .-.)
*Sinks down, cold and white faced*
*Wants to move, to get away, but her body won't respond*
Oh hello, Snow.
This seem very dramatic indeed.
(( hey adra. you just missed me dying. too bad))
((i kid. i'm not dead *laughs* yet...))
Wb, Adra! *hugs*
Hi Adra.
Mara, in an arranged marriage, it is assumed that first the couple will be wed, and love will follow.
Now, Mara, do you think, it could be possible, that you and Harry were put together at first, and then, love followed?
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at Trip* *her hand twitches
*lea carefully and reluctantly gets up and goes over to saph*
*he places a hand on her shoulder and sits next to her*
she'll be okay...
*is in Mara's treehouse*
#ChaseForBook9
*stops her shaking hand* *stands up* oh gods...
*Doesn't respond, staring at nothing* *In her mind, sees another girl lying in the snow, smaller but with a much bigger puddle of blood*
*Jumps to her feet and races back into the bar*
*hears then*
*senses*
*dafuq*
((Thanks Marararalilililily [hugs]))
((Thanks Saph, Snow, Ari [hugs them, too]))
(([hugs everyone else so no one is left out]))
#ChaseForBook9
-finishes skinning the apple, flicking it off the table, and I begin cutting up the apple-
((FUCK
FINE
I DED TO FUCKING SHIT OKAY
OKAY
no
I ded to.... A happier weekend
And getting homework done))
Right. Niccolò... *shakes head* So, um, yeah. There's nothing more I can do for Snow- she should be ok, though, she just might take a while to recover- and I think I'll just be outside, if anyone needs me. *forces a fleeting smile, takes a few quick steps backwards, then turns and runs out the door, accelerating to a full on sprint once outside* ((I think I'll disappear now, because I love you guys dearly, but I have so much to do. I might be back tonight, but not if I'm too tired. See you all!))
#ChaseForBook9
((I did?)
Lea: *wants to follow saph bat also wants to stay with snow*
*Laughs* Hear hear, Adra! *glances at the pile of homework next to me*
Stupid, stupid homework...
(Not to me, I said: I would have thought a swell like you would've known that by now, Ravel.)
((Cya Ari))
((Bye!))
No- *backs up a step* no
