Under Pressure... Moi?

Glancing back at old Blog entries, I happened to notice that on December 23rd of 2012 I had 13,320 words of LSODM written. This was a good thing to notice. It means that, with 18,504 words of Book 9 already spewed forth onto the page/screen, I am well ahead of where I was last year — and I finished LSODM in PLENTY of time, did I not?

Well, actually, no, I didn't. It was pretty much down to the wire, as they say. I couldn't afford to make ANY mistakes with LSODM, because I had no time to do anything resembling a significant rewrite. But at least I know it can be done. At least I know I can do it. Now all I have to do is hope I DO do it.

Pressure pressure pressure... It's everywhere. I don't actually mind pressure. It's a handy tool to make you sit down and write, after all. And I have no one to blame for these onrushing deadlines but me, because I'm the one who agreed to them in the first place. I'm the one who said "Hey, let's collect all the short stories, and I'll write a few more brand new ones, and we can publish in the summer before the final book!" And what a wonderful idea that was. What a magical, wonderful idea, to schedule the writing of short stories at the same time as I've scheduled the writing of a book. How clever that was.

I had wanted to include ten new stories in the collection. I STILL want to do ten — but the fact is, I might not be able to. I may only be able to do five. I want to tell a tale of the Dead Men during the war. I want to tell the tale of Billy-Ray Sanguine and what he did when he was recovering from the sword-wound that Valkyrie inflicted on him in The Faceless Ones. I want to show you how Val met Caelan for the first time. But most of all, I want to go back to Skulduggery and Valkyrie, back before the screaming and the killing and the darkness. I want to see them having fun again, before the death and the destruction and the heartache and the loss. The collection will be out mere months before the final book, after all... I want you to enter into Book 9, fully aware of how good it used to be between them.

And then I want to shatter what remains of your souls.

Adra Cruciatus said...

(Alright then....I hope he doesnt come an hour late i'm giving him the 2hrs then I'll just go over. And what happens happens)

Adra Cruciatus said...

(As you wish)

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: Woah, you're good at drawing. O_O You're as good at drawing as flowers are at being flowers. Because flowers are flowers. And you're good at drawing. *frowns slightly at the nonsensicality that isn't nonsensical*

((Star's brother: If you had to give someone the best thing you could give them, what would you give them?
Star: A flower that is a flower.
Brother: What?
Star: *laughs*))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: hello Alexis *laughs hugging her gently* I can help you with training

Alexis: thanks I do need it

Star Inkbright said...

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: I have a keyboard through a portal in my jacket, if you want one . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Adra Cruciatus said...

*she shakes her head, continuing to pretend that there are imaginary keys on his shoulders*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Harry: *gets a text* *reads it, his smile growing*
Mara, babe? Sorry to wake you up, but I have news.

Mara: Mmm? *yawns*

Harry: I talked to *makes a face* management, and they said you can be the opening act for the Where We Are tour!

Mara: *eyes widen* You mean..

Maralie Lily Charm said...

(( :)))))) why thank you ))

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *taps Priya on the arm affectionately, because she's on his back and not really in return-hugging range*

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Shall I continue torturing Zafira? Or has she not yet returned?))

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: Oh my God that's like more than ten thousand people per night! Asdfghjkl

Harry: *laughs* Don't worry Mara, I promise it isn't as bad as it looks. And the tour doesn't start until next May anyway.

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya points questioningly to Ez, as if wanting him to walk to her*

Star Inkbright said...

((Star: Yay for Mara! :)))

#ChaseForBookNine

(You may i am back

*Adra sighs*

Must I stab Alexis again?

*shouts up at the ceiling* CURSE YOU

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((The more I watch her, the more certain I am that Priya would get along wonderfully with Arisbel.))

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: I think not. Look come on lets go.

Adra Cruciatus said...

((I like to think that Priya could manage to get along with anyone... But that would be a delightful encounter, I'm sure. Of course, if Arisbel knows sign language.))

Noelle said...

Finally. Thank you. *she puts a hand on his arm, not liking his energy*
*she salutes to Tzipora, who salutes silently back*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: *helps Alexis up and leads them to a point in Blogland* Right...we have to go through that

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Alright then, Zafira, I shall.))

Both of them: *pull on the ropes harder, so Zafira's skin is beginning to stretch to its limit*

Niccolo: *frees one hand and draws a knife from his coat* *tosses the knife towards Zafira and stops its motion with air, making it hover above her* *brings the knife down and drags it slowly across her body, leaving a long thin slice down her chest and stomach* *the cut expands bit by bit as her limbs stretch out* *lifts the knife and brings it down to slice across her again, and again, making the cut deeper each time*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

No problem come on then!

Star Inkbright said...

Ez: *smiles at Priya* Thank you.

Hunter: Yay, Ez looks pretty now!

Ez: I didn't look pretty BEFORE?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: *leads through the Anchor and we appear right in Dublin* Look see the gate? Alexis will get you in. Excuse me I have better things to do. Like get the hell out. Szoren be careful, some people are coming into the City to get Zafira...heathens and Alexis

Noelle said...

*she begins to sprint*

(Hi Rose!)

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Hello, Death. It is so good to see you.

Maralie- you are more than welcome to appear, although we are in a separate dimension, so it would likely be wisest for you to enter the dimension with the rest of the group and teleport from there.))

Copy: *holds his two ropes up with air, so his hands are free* *approaches Zafira and trails a finger down her cheek to her neck* *where he touched her, large, pus-and-blood-filled boils appear on her skin* *the flesh that isn't swollen starts to die and turn black at a rapid rate* *a fever starts to build up inside her*

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *follows Adra* I need to show my pass to get you in with me. Slow down woman!

Star Inkbright said...

((Star: Hey Death! :)))

Hunter: *zooms over to Anchor as they disappear, and puts hand over it, sensing, closing his eyes*

Ez: *comes up behind him* Hunter, don't you dare blow us up or something.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: No, wait, I think I can make this work . . .

Ez: Yeah. *pushes flower to stop it falling out of hair* I remember the LAST time you thought you could make something work.

Hunter: Oh, that worked.

Ez: The time before, then.

#ChaseForBookNine

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya is still clinging to Hunter's back*

Noelle said...

*picks Alexis up and runs to the gate*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*grits teeth* What..are you trying to kill me?! *Laughs briefly before Niccolò notices shadows creeping up his hand (eers the copy) they start to pierce it* *barely a whisper* you idiot you're waking her!

Chione Asahina said...

((Btw Mara, I cried to Story of my life earlier))

((Star: When I was listening to it, I mean. :)))

Hunter: *has hand on the Anchor* Ohhh . . . that's interesting.
Maybe.

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *once we reach the gate shows her pass* Family. Watching me. *the Redhood nods allowing them into the City* Okay Adra you'll have to act as a prisoner until we get past the Redhoods. The City Mages will ignore you as well do not speak and if we see Mevolent I may hurt you which I apologize in advanced

Adra Cruciatus said...

*She listens intently, curious with what the two etherdemons are saying*

Noelle said...

Oh shit... Okay.. *follows Alexis with her head down*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: *moves the knife up to her forehead and neatly carves a binding symbol into it*

Copy: *the infection moves to her lungs, and Zafira will find she has trouble breathing and may cough up blood* *clicks fingers, creating a fire, and drops it onto her stomach*

*by now her limbs are at their absolute limit, and both have stopped pulling on the ropes* *in one swift movement, they both pull hard and tear Zafira's limbs from her body*

Copy: *grows skin over the stumps where Zafira's limbs were, so she doesn't bleed out*

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Oh good grief..))

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hi everyone! *waves* Wow, it's been a while. I blame NaNoWriMo.

How is everyone? Why is Niccolo torturing Zaf?

Chione Asahina said...

((Omg Niccolo that's gross! Jesus!!!))

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *tries flipping through the destinations* Ooh. I think it might time travel. Possibly. It's the same layer-y thing. Wait, that's layers, not planes. Oh, hang on a second. *flipping* Oh my gosh, that feels like a waterfall. Do you want to go to a waterfall, Ez, Priya?

Ez: Been there, done that. Look, I am actually fearing for my life here, Hunter.

Hunter: It's okay. It's save. Hmm, I'm not sure it IS flipping through destinations . . . then what's it flipping through?

Ez: We'll leave without knowing . . .

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *leads Adra past the mages within the City most sneering at her or ignore her* *the Palace comes into view and Baron Vengeous is standing there with the City Mages*

Baron: Alexis have you caught a mortal symphasizer?

Alexis: Yes sir.

Baron: Amazing you take after your mother.

Alexis; Thank you. I shall see you later. *enters the Palace*

Noelle said...

*she casts a glare at the Baron*

((Hello, Kes))

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya shrugs, simply interested*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((My apologies, Chione. I've spent several centuries thinking up clever ways to kill people, and I've already tortured Zafira twice, so I'm being... Rather gruesomely... Creative... God, when I realize what I've done...))

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*wanders around Blogland looking for everyone*

((Is there some sort of portal I can go through to get to the alternate dimension?))

((Hi Adra))

Chione Asahina said...

((But jesus christ I just ate!))

Star Inkbright said...

*safe

Hunter: I'm not even sure it's flipping . . . it could be . . . tuning itself? To what?

*tries converting some of its energy* *gasps*

Okay.

That's weird.

((Star: Hey Kes! :)

Niccolò nooooooooooooooooooooooo! D:))

Chione Asahina said...

*flips onto the roof of the lap and walks her ice path in an arch over blogland to look around again*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Yo, Mara!))

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya sticks her nose over his shoulder, looking curiously*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(I have a strong stomach I think I just almost puked...yeah don't worry Aro'll give you your er free will back once she's safe...)

Noelle said...

((Lol Zaf :D))


*she does her best not to twinge at the glances*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *leads to the dungeons and heart almost stops* They have her....

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: *picks up an arm and holds it over her face, letting the blood gush down on top of her* You asked me nearly a year ago for my worst.

Copy: We're not quite there yet,

Niccolo: But this is closer than you've ever been before.

*not quite translucent, but not perfectly see-through either*

*stares at it for a moment* What the hell.
*steps through*

Noelle said...

Alexis, don't move... Don't look either.

*she approaches the cell*

OI.

Adra Cruciatus said...

(Kessieeeee!))

((How have you all even read the series... Considering some of the things that Derek has written about. I think we all know book six.))

*slides down the path beside her*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Hey Priya! I'm not entirely sure if we've met-I've got a really bad memory for names. if we have, sorry about being an idiot. If we haven't, nice to meet you!
Also, MC comes to mind more for me...))

Chione Asahina said...

*gives a little wave* hello.

Emerald Melody said...

(Just a note to say that you are all amazing roleplayers. And seeing you all in a plot together is just awesome to watch!)

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Er, no, it's just Adra being a dope on a second account... Because I know that not everyone is participating in the plot *points* So I wanted to make sure.. You know... People weren't left out 0.0))

((Yeah :p))

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *puts some of his energy into the Anchor*

OH.

*barely a whisper* I really don't want to find out your worst....*coughs up blood coughing harder*

Adra Cruciatus said...

*she has absolutely no idea what Hunter is doing*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Thank you, Kestrel.))

Both of them: *turn to look at Adra, Niccolo still holding Zafira's arm over her head* *burst out laughing*

Niccolo: This ought to be fun.

Copy: We thought you'd never arrive. *gestures to Zafira* We've changed a few things. Can you tell?

Niccolo: I think she looks much better now.

Copy: Would you like a go, darling Adra?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Yes, I do see that you've amputated her. What is that- the Bubonic Plague?

And please- I have a delicate stomach. Besides, I'm here for the Grand Mage, not some torturer rejects *thumbs up*

Chione Asahina said...

I have no idea where we're going but ok!!!

*follows her*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *steps forward keeping gaze off of Zaf* Niccolò back away by the order of Mevolent. I'm a Sense-Warden.

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Yeah, Kessie :P *pets her face*))

Sir said...

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, Blogland.

Noelle said...

*she hisses* Alexis

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya spots Sir, and jumps from Hunter's back to Sir's*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Neither do I. It's kind of a pattern.
*pulls back into the alternate dimension, now with Chione*
*finds self in some backwater alley*
*notices a bundle of clothes by the wall that kind of resembles the shape of a person*

Chione Asahina said...

((Hey sir))

Star Inkbright said...

Here we go. *grabs Ez's hand* *transports all three of them to the cell where Zaf is, figuring Adra might fix them if they get broken along the way* *absorbs energy as they travel, rendering the Anchor useless* *opens eyes standing next to one of the Niccolo's, still with Priya and Ez* Well . . . that was interesting.
*is buzzing with the excess energy* *gives some etherenergy to Ez* *lets go of her hand*

Ez: *glares at Hunter* I swear, when I tell you not to mess with things . . .

Hunter: *has eyes closed, exploring options with energy* *thinks he has more travel freedom than the Anchor has* So long as I don't convert any of this too much . . .

Ez: @Niccolos@ Sorry, not meaning to interrupt. Just ignore us . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((*bites Adra's hand, momentarily forgetting she's a vampire*))

Hi Sir! *tips nonexistent hat*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: Of course.

Copy: One of my greatest masterpieces. Not quite the best, though.

Niccolo: You'd recognize it well, I'm sure, being a doctor.

Copy: Now, you must understand your position.

Niccolo: You're outnumbered, and outclassed.

Copy: So give us one good reason to give you Zafira,

Niccolo: Or we'll just tear you to pieces, and call it square.

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya jumps back to them at the last moment before they go*

Star Inkbright said...

*oh, not Priya if she's with Sir, sorry*

#ChaseForBooknine

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*looks at Chione*
Should we...?

((Is there any way that this person would know about what's going on with Zaf?))

Noelle said...

Tear me to pieces?

Me?

Outclassed?

Gracious, boys. You have no idea what you're dealing with.

I'd like Zafira, simply because she is required by Alexis who, as you know, is the pet of Aro

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya hops down, standing next to Adra*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: *in Adra's mind* Give the word I'll use his name to get him to stand down...

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Dark, LeStarre, Kerias, Star, Asahina, and Mr. Croatoan.

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Sir should find that, when he was not looking, Priya slipped a note into his hat*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Love your new picture, Sir!))

Chione Asahina said...

((Probs not))

Nah Kestrel, let's just find the palace *looks around the ally*

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: @Niccolos: That's a very nice arm you have there.

@Ez: Missing anything?

Ez: No. But you'll be missing your head in a minute.

Hunter: And Zaf's missing her limbs. :) Need nay help, Adra?

Ez: No, she doesn't. Let's go.

Hunter: *frowns* Not entirely sure we can go . . . it's a risky process.

Ez: *groans*

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: *tosses Zafira's arm at Alexis* You can have a piece of her. How's that? *suddenly seems more serious, glaring sternly at her as his eyes seem to glow* We don't trust you, little girl.

Copy: Don't presume you can order us about.

Niccolo: What do you need her for?

#ChaseForBook9

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Chione, I was just trying to get a way to have Kestrel find out about what was going on-she currently has no idea. If you do, however, than excellent.))

*scans the skyline, looking for the palace*
*points* is that it, over there?

Noelle said...

*whispers* This is on you, Alexis

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((Greetings, Sir.))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: Why thank you, Hunter. I have another, if you'd like to take it. Zafira won't be needing it anymore.

Sir said...

Thank you kindly, Ms. LeStarre.

Alexis: And I suggest trusting me *moves from the arm* Training. Aro said she's the only prisoner I have yet to practice on, and she's the only one to know her true name.

Noelle said...

Is listen to her, Niccolòs. She's a genius. And non-heathen

Chione Asahina said...

*narrows her eyes and looks closer* I think so...

((Yes I know what's going on))

*takes black colouring out of her tiny bag, creates a cloak of ice and pours half the bottle over it, making the ice black then puts it on, does tehe same for another one and gives it to kestrel*

We'll need these.

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: @Niccolò: . . . Can I have it, actually?

*thinking*

#ChaseForBookNine

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Meh then*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*takes ice, somewhat dubious*
What are these?
brb

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Copy: *sighs, clearly disappointed* Fine.

Niccolo: Take her. *kicks Zafira towards Alexis*

Copy: Is there anyone else we can interrogate?

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Oh my god did you really))

*Priya looks disgruntled, and instead quietly passes the two Niccolos, and is sitting next to Zafira*

Noelle said...

Hmm. Doesn't seem so. Oopsies

Star Inkbright said...

Ez: *makes a "NOT-US-OH-FUCK-YOU-HUNTER" expression* *tries to look invisible* *doesn't succeed*

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Copy: *picks up Zafira's other arm and tosses it to Hunter* Certainly.

Niccolo: *glares at Adra, but only speaks to Alexis* What is that heathen *spits the word like it's something dirty* doing here, anyway?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis; *goes quiet* Meritorious. Go interrogate him

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya looks at Hunter and Ez curiously before working on healing Zafira*

Noelle said...

*she waves happily, bowing* Heathenous Maximus, at your service

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: I've brought her here as a prisoner now go before I take extra measures and send you to Aro

Noelle said...

Wait-

ALEXIS

NO

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Copy: *looks, intrigued, at Priya* Is she a believer?

Niccolo: Can we interrogate her?

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*faintly* Kill me...*closes eyes*

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya ignores them, working on bringing Zafira's arms back onto her body quietly, as usual*

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *takes arm* *licks some of the blood off it and focuses*

((Star:
"“This won’t do any good,” she warned. “They’re still tracking me.”
“Or maybe not,” Hunter said. “Mind if I test?”
She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. “Sure.”
He grabbed her wrist, produced a knife, drew it slightly across it and then pressed the wound to his mouth.
Ez raised her eyebrows.
Hunter focused on the blood in his mouth, trying to sense energy in it. Nothing except etherenergy.
“They’re not tracking you,” he mumbled, swallowing with a grimace. “I don’t think. I think they had the metal energy in you, and you’ve converted it and used it up. I think it converts quite easily, which makes sense if they developed it from etherenergy . . . Poor ether.”
Ez healed her wrist. “Hunter, can I ask you a deep and personal question?”
He waved a hand at her. “Go ahead.”
“Are you a vampire?”
He frowned. “I don’t think so.”
“You don’t think so?”
“Well, no one really ever knows, do they?”
“Do you get urges to drink blood?”
“Not that I’ve noticed.”
“Good. You’re not a vampire.”
He frowned. “How do you know I’m not a special type of vampire?”
“Well, so long as you’re not a bloodsucking monster, you can be a special vampire all you like.”
“Not all bloodsucking vampires are monsters.”
“Can we please not have a debate about how morally concerned non-existent creatures are?”
“Non-existent people have lefts too!” he protested angrily."

Yeah. :)))

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Niccolo: Oh, shut up. You don't deserve death. *kicks Zafira again*

#ChaseForBook9

Adra Cruciatus said...

((...

I'll dedicate to tomorrow being monday, and today being monday. I am sorry for Mondays. *salutes*))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: For god's sake...no Go find another prisoner go castrate a male prisoner

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya grabs his foot and pushes him away*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

((My apologies- I must leave again. Hopefully, I shall return soon.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Alexis!

We're going for minimal damage here!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*doesnt bother to cry out anymore* Just kill me at this point *coughs up blood still*

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *tosses Zaf's arm to the others*

There you go.

((Star: Good ded, Adra. :)))

#ChaseForBookNine

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya snatches the arm and heals it onto Zafira's other shoulder*

*she steps back, smiling, now that Zaf is in one piece*

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Zaf, would you mind checking your phone, please?))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis: I realize (K Coco) Look come on we should get out of here...somewhere less filthy...

Star Inkbright said...

((Star: Anyone seen that mad advert where you have those crazy-looking people crying with happiness and saying how much they love Mondays?))

#ChaseForBookNine

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*puts on the cloak and begins walking in the direction of the palace, expecting Chione to follow*
*passes the person, who is either unconscious or dead*
So what's going on that we need to be at the palace, anyway?

Adra Cruciatus said...

((I have not, Star))
((Bye Niccolo *waves*))

Jophiel said...

(Zaf doesn't deserve me? Ow.

Jks.))

Star Inkbright said...

((Star: Hey Death! :)))

#ChaseForBookNine

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Rose.

Chione Asahina said...

That's where Zafira has been taken by Melovent, or Niccolo that's bekng controled by Melovent...

*follows 2 paces behind kestrel, keeping her head down*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Hi Death!))

Adra Cruciatus said...

*Priya motions for someone to pick up Zafira so she isn't on the floor*

Adra Cruciatus said...

((Hi again Rose))

Chione Asahina said...

((Hey Rose, you feeling better?))

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter: *picks up Zafira*

#ChaseForBookNine

Adra Cruciatus said...

*she signs* Thank you. Is there somewhere you can take her?
