Ohhh, all those lovely Doctor Who stories, all in one place! And look what ELSE arrived in the same box...
Toys! Wonderful, wonderful TOYS!
I was indeed a happy writer.
So what else have I been up to lately? Well, I've been writing, amazingly enough. I have taken two weeks off Book Nine to focus on coming up with new stories for Armageddon-Outta-Here (haw!) which'll be out next summer.
As a sample of what the new stories will feature, we're talking the Dead Men in the Wild West, the story of how Valkyrie met Caelan, a Billy-Ray Sanguine solo adventure, and Skulduggery Pleasant and Gordon Edgley at a horror-themed masquerade ball, set 25 years ago.
Time is tight, deadlines are onrushing, but I'm having FUN, so none of it seems quite like work. And hopefully it never will.

Quite.
You know, I have the distinct feeling that I should be quite concerned by your mood, Mr. Neurotic.
Is S Star or Fabi or Luci? idk
Em; I got bored of being me, so I'm being someone else for now :)
Well, it's good to know your intuition is just as quick as ever, good Sir!
*laughs cheerily*
*Forms pile of all the trees and presents in a pile and pushes it into middle of street*
Mara; Nope :) You do know the other me. I'm not just a random person, don't worry.
(Edward, I know no one's commenting, but I'd like to let you know that I'm reading what you're doing and thoroughly enjoying it.)
Eh, I'm burning christmas.
*She looks at her hand*
((We heheheh I knowses!)
...
Stars below, man. I am uncertain as to whether I should have an escape plan readied or I should merely attempt to apprehend you now.
In any case, I congratulate you on your happiness, despite whatever deplorable source it may spring from.
((Same as Anni- I'm reading everyone's roleplays, but I don't have much to say.))
(Is it Trip or Rose??)
*Lorcan looks up, wiping his eyes again*
Lorcan: Oh... hi Grand Mage.
Oh, Sir, Sir, Sir.
*claps him on the back*
I don't think you'll want to apprehend me. No, the K-
*stops*
. . . My plan is one that I think will fascinate Blogland, before Blogland ends.
And I think it will particularly fascinate someone such as yourself.
*nods at Sir*
((*Looks mildly amused* It?))
(I believe I know who S is, but I shall not give it away.)
Are you alright there? Ravel said you were a bit upset and nobody will tell me why.
*Ties up snowmen near a heater*
(Anyone think it to be Aretha?)
((Thanks, Anni. I have a feeling Adra might know as well. I'm not Rose or Trip (I'm a girl) but I don't really want to say more :) I just want to enjoy Blogland.))
(Quite alright. I understand.)
Done, christmas is gone. Now, *places remains of tree on pavement*
*has spent about three hours messing about with this CD*
You know, sometimes determination is a good quality.
Sometimes, it's just irritating. -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
(Ari. Or Fabi. Most probably Ari.)
*frowns*
What are you, some type of B-list supervillain? Please, Mr. Neurotic, leave the ominous foreshadowing for some other time and place.
*sighs disgustedly*
In any case, it shall take absolutely months to remove the filth. I have no thanks to you there, Mr. Neurotic.
(I do. I saw the blogs ;3)
*She yawns*
Aww *pokes Star's CD and glares at it*
Mr Neurotic, do you have an evil plan?
*shivers*
Filth.
Filth can be dealt with. I've been dealing with filth all my life.
*Lorcan stares back out at the water*
Lorcan: *says solemnly* I killed my mother...
(And this is annoying. I hate when people do this. Its frustrating and makes me dislike you. It's Ari. I know it. And it irritates me. Very. Much. I hate people being secretive. Stop hiding its rather stipid.)
Quite, especially the moral variety.
@Adra ... Dammit ;) I realised just after I posted my first comment I hadn't gotten rid of that.
@Zaf Wouldn't Ari be asleep now?
Ignore that, I have no idea what time zone she's in.
(I saw the blogs as well.)
*raises an eyebrow at Edward*
Please, Edward-my-Edward, you act like we've never met before.
*scoffs*
Of course I have an evil plan. Without an evil plan, I'm merely a pathetic obsessive-compulsive with a stripe in his hair.
*suddenly looks sad*
You....killed....Em? But how?! *looks stunned* Lorcan...are you in denial?
Then please *Gives him a key* that is the key to a large number of weapons and devices and blueprints that are perfect for evil plans
(Saph. Or Snow. Or an Aussie or UK Minion. )
Hmm . . .
*gazes thoughtfully into the distance*
Riddle me this, Sir:
Would you say humanity is filth?
And if it is, wouldn't a lack of humanity be, in a sense, purity?
And would that not make the inhuman the only examples of perfection?
(That's bullying Zaf. Calm down.)
Humanity is anything but filth. Anyone who says otherwise is missing something
*glances down at the key*
. . . Thank you for the offer . . .
Mr. Neurotic, you confuse humanity with humanity.
Humanity is filth, but humanity is wonderful.
I'm sorry if I'm upsetting you, Zaf, I just don't want to be my usual person right now. So I'm just going to read the roleplay and quietly ship Osmosis.
(No it isnt its called really irritating. I'm sorry but its really rude to me when people hide their identity for no reason. Like it makes me dislike you.)
(S didn't come here to play a guessing game with us. She came to enjoy Blogland.)
Ms. Kerias, I do so constantly. Do I irritate you?
Zaf; Okay. At least you said it reasonably politely. I don't want to start a blogfight and I have to disappear soon anyway, so I'll just poof now. *waves goodbye*
(Then maybe she shouldn't have told us we knew her. Just maybe.)
Goodbye S
(It's probably crap like what you're giving her that makes her want to not be herself.)
That's a good answer, Sir.
*nods*
I wonder how you'll handle this one:
Can one be born evil, or mad? Or does one become so, through living in a world laden with . . . humanity. And filth.
Bye S!!
*She sighs, then goes quiet*
You become evil Oscar.
(And Sir, may I just say that I completely understand your desire to hide your true identity. I do, however, think you picked a marvelous alter-ego, as it were.)
(Ha no. It makes me hate you when you try to hide. Its irritating like why should I talk to you when you'rehiding behind a facade?)
Lorcan: We were training, she wanted to train me, help me. But she wanted me to get angry too.
So I did.
I strangled her and left her at the sid of the lake for days.
And no, I'm not in denial.
*looks at Edward*
How do you know?
What makes you say that?
Mr. Neurotic, good and evil are relative.
But as you identify yourself as evil, there is little point in discussing this.
(Then don't)
(I agree, Zafira.
Sometimes there are people that rub you the wrong way so violently that you have no wish to talk to them.)
I'm just gonna... Get some bread...
*She backs into a bakery*
Not that... You know.. You all care and stuff
*She browses at the bread*
. . .
*nods*
. . . Yep.
*glances up*
Adra?
. . . Adra left.
*looks at the ground*
*frowns*
*then shrugs*
Ah, well.
And now I know....so you're upset that you killed your own mother. Which I get. I've killed people in the first Mevolent war...well I knew them. Very well. It's....it seems like you're not taking this easy which is totally alright. If you want someone to talk to I'm open. I guess you may feel unsure as i'm a Grand Mage but I don't tell others what I know. I'm not that mean. *laughs*
Mr Neurotic, everyone on this planet was born a child who looked at the world and saw something new and colourful and beautiful. It is only if they suffer a great loss or a reason to see that world with a new hatred that makes someone evil.
@Zaf: Look, you've never met me. I'm a random stranger from another country. You don't know me. Whatever I tell you, it could be a lie. I could be some person who lives in the next town waiting for an opportunity to rape you.
You think you know me? You don't.
S has likely always been secretive and hidden their identity. You don't know their address, maybe not their name. You could not know either of those things, because the information they told you could be false.
I understand how you're feeling, and I'm not especially mad at you, but people don't get to have a go at my blogfriends, even if I'm not 100% who they are. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
. . .
. . .
. . . Well, as Sir said, it hardly matters anymore.
*She decides to but herself a cheese and bread baguette*
Thank you, Ms. Barnosky, I suppose.
In any case, Mr. Neurotic, I am certain you have some lovely reasons to be evil and such, but to be quite frank, they don't matter a jot.
Adra. Bread. What?
(Well I'm irritated at the 'hiding' last time it happened it wasnt too good.)
Being evil is, I believe, preferable to being good. For one thing, "bad guys" get all the best toys. And parking spaces.
What about you, Sir?
Do you consider yourself good?
Or evil?
I consider myself evil. As you put, it has its good points.
I'm eating bread and cheese, Edward. *She nods to the two guys talking* They went off on their own tangent, so I got food
*nods in agreement*
Here here, Edward Fletcher.
Still nobody noticed the pile of burning christmas trees in the middle of the street. Good idea Adra
Mr. Neurotic, do you also go about asking women their age or weight? It is quite the frightful social faux pas to ask someone if they consider themself to be good or evil.
@Zaf: It isn't too good now, and why is that? Because of you.
When I was telling my mum about the beauty of ARCK, she thought it was a REALLY bad idea, because she said that anonymity was a really bad thing because people would abuse it and use the freedom of being unknown to say nasty things.
And guess what?
That didn't happen.
Because we're Blogland, and we love each other.
When I go on ARCK, it makes me cry, because the LOVE. :)
It's just so NICE.
And I'm not the only one, I bet.
Sometimes, things seem like a bad idea. And when that happens, people can want to not try it. But if you take a risk, like we did with ARCK . . . look what we can achieve. Look at the HAPPINESS it brought us. :)
Whereas if we'd gone "Urgh that's a terrible idea", then everyone who thought of it would be feeling upset, more people would be feeling upset, and we would never experience the happiness that ARCK brought us.
Just because someone has been proven to be bad does not mean it cannot be good. :)

I heard on the radio that Justin Beiver is retiring....
I will be having a very merry Christmas thus year.
*something
NOt someone.

#ChaseForBookNine
Hey guys, that was a situation that got outta hand too quickly. I want everyone to take a deep breath and calm down before the situation is made any worse than it has to be.
Star, people have pet peeves that shine through on here, Zaf's one is obviously people hiding behind pseudonyms.
And Zaf, sometimes people just want to hide to try and capture the magic in which they first fell in love with so try to be a little more understanding and less aggressive next time.
So after I post this, I expect everyone to have calmed down and just continue on with your bloglandia ways.
( I just saw that a minute ago!!)
*laughs*
Aha ha ha! Oh, Sir.
*wipes tears of laughter from his eyes*
Oh, Sir, I see why she likes you so much. Adra, not so much, though I suppose they share a similar taste in food.
*takes out his cell phone*
Now, I do apologize. I know it is a dreadful faux pas to exeunt in the middle of a conversation, but I have an excavation team to rally.
Hollah praise you two ))
(Huh?)
(Duck, by-the-by, I like your new profile picture.)
*She moves to sit in the corner of the bakery*
*There is a best of silence, and she feels her wave of depression slowly creep back, the shadow once more in the corner of her vision*
*She hunches over the table, trying to appear unnoticeable*
IT'S AWESOME BECAUSE IT MOVES!!!!
*Leaves key at Oscars feet and walks into bread shop*
...
Harrumph.
Well, while I do have no spite for you, I hope that the excavation fails. Fate of the world, and all.
(Fine.)
No hard feelings, I hope!
*walks off*
What am I saying, of course there'll be hard feelings.
Ah, well.
*laughs*
I've found the Keystone.
*hits 7 on speed dial*
And that's all that matters.
(And now, I'm afraid I must depart.)
Hello Duck
*She nibbles on her food, feeling the shadowing the corner of her eye egg her on, and push her mind forward, trying to bend it until it breaks*
(Goodbye Anni)
Bye Anni
I wrote out a few comments and then deletion. :/
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Good bye, Ms. Barnosky.
*turns, and walks in to the bakery*
Hello Edward Fletcher, Ex King of the Penguins...
...IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME!
Hello Duck.
Hello Edward...
*Buys bread and eats*
Lorcan: Lexi knows...
But Chase or anyone else doesn't.
(Wow)
*She tucks the rest of her sandwich away, having lost her appetite, and cuddles with the blue stone against her throat*
*Sits at table next to Adra* Whats that stone?
*She glances at him* Philosopher's stone
*Drops bread with a look of greed* The philosophers stone?
Well then. I know too now. Okay look Lorcan...tell Chase I'll go with you.
*She pulls away, one hand going to the pendant* That's what I said. You, however, aren't to touch it.
May I at least take a sample please. I have no magic to take it by force.
*Lorcan jumps up, that look of fear on his face*
Lorcan: NO! No I can't, I can't. He'll... He'll...
No! Of course not! *She gathers her things and stalks for the door*
Lorcan thats the problem. You're holding it in. Tell him he won't hurt you if you're with me. If Ravel had said he can't touch you and he does its illegal.
Oh. *Walks after her* I have money, I can buy the stone, Name your price?
Lorcan: I killed my mother!!! All you people are living with a murderer and no one knows!
What the hell is gonna happen if everyone finds out?! I'm fucked...
*She turns sharply and glares at him* It isn't for sale.
*Stops and thinks* I am willing to swap the bomb with enough power to destroy a planet for that stone. Please. I need it to get my magic back
Lorcan. Look around you. Almost all of us are a killer. Look at me Niccolò Adra Aretha Em Chase Javier Ravel Saracen....Trip! Rose! All ofus have killed someone one way or another. Nobody is gonna be mad, its something that most mages cannot overcome, to survive.
What good would that do?
And I'm sorry to disappoint, but the Philosopher's stone doesn't give magic back.
Lorcan: *fists balled up*
I am not a mage!!! I was never even supposed to be a fucking werewolf!
If it wasn't for you people coming into my world, none of this would have happened to me!!!
*Lorcan starts sobbing again, this time they are tears of anger and frustration*
No, but I beleive that if it can provide immortality then i can sell it to Nye for the secret of magic.
*she hisses* No. You won't get it. Back down.
Youll have to kill me to stop me from getting that stone. I shall return, after the full moon and my quest.
Buuuut you still aren't getting it..
*puts an arm around him* Its okay Lorcan...I just wamt you to know that you are not going to be judged. You may be a werewolf but you fall under the catagory of being a mage. Look, its going to happen Lorcan. I hope you know. And you may not have met Alexis.
*Man walks up behind* Glad you could make it. now, I need you to attack me. *Man nods*
Wait, Lorcan, you are a werewolf?
*she takes a step back, then runs back into the bakery*
*she sits next to Sir*
*Man bites my arm and man runs away disappearing*
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
I am THAT close.
THAT close!!!!
So the CD wouldn't work on my computer, wouldn't even PLAY, and now I have it saved on Windows Media Player as a proper album, with all the tracks listed.
BUT I CAN'T FUCKING TRANSFER THAT TO ITUNES.
ARGHHHHHHHHH.
AND EVEN THOUGH MY PHONE HAS WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER LIKE MY LAPTOP, AND I HAVE A USB CABLE THAT WORKS AND I ALSO HAVE A FULLY FUNCTIONING BLUETOOTH CONNECTION, I CAN'T GET THAT TO SAVE ON THAT.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
*should probably give up now*
#ChaseForBookNine
*chuckles*
Is Mr. Fletcher irritating you, Ms. Dark?
*Collapses in pain* I will get that stone Adra
(Don't give up, Star!
Unless it's getting late. Then leave it for tomorrow. *hugs*)
*She glares at the table* He wants my stone and *shouts to Edward* NO MEANS NO.
(857-5309?)
*Stands and sits beside Sir* How are you?
......
Quite, Ms. Dark.
Do you want something to eat?
Apologies. Even though most of you couldn't read that rant, it was still uncalled for.
On a brighter note, my appointment with Dr. K went surprisingly well.
