Die Horribly Winner! (And finishing a book)

I have just pressed SEND.

By pressing SEND, I have emailed off the completed book to my agent and editor. It will now be sent to the copyeditor who, amongst other things, will be checking for grammar and spelling mistakes that I've missed but, more importantly, will be ensuring that everything I've written makes sense.

She will be checking facts and figures and timelines, scouring her notes on the other books to make sure I haven't contradicted myself... A good copyeditor in invaluable, and I have a great one.

It's done. I wrote the two Scapegrace chapters that I'd left until last. Oh, and I ALSO included the winner of the Die Horribly competition...



It took me until last night to pick a winner. I was sent 30 finalists out of everyone who entered. Of those 30, I quickly whittled it down to 15. Then, not so quickly, down to 10. Then it took me ages to narrow it down to 5. Then 3.

There were some great entries. Lots of funny reasons why people reckoned they should be the reader I pick to kill horribly in the book. But I needed something specific. I needed something that would fit in with what I'd written. And there was only one reader who fit PERFECTLY.

So congratulations to Lewis Holmes, from the UK. You shall have the distinct honour of being Horribly Killed in The Dying of the Light.



Lewis' death was the last thing I had to write. Now it's all over. Sure, I'll be sent the copyeditor's notes to approve, and there'll be a little more fiddling around between now and printing time, but...

... but it's over. I have finished writing Skulduggery Pleasant.

I think I need to lie down now.

Alastair type Alastair. As in crazy sadist Alastair. As in basically impossible to catch or harm Alastair. You mean /that/ Alastair?!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Being beaten is the first step to learning from your mistakes.

I'm in a pronoun-y mood.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Wait different personality. So he's like what, friendly now?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah.

Got him while he was vulnerable, bound his blood, shoved a whole load of binding implants in him, sealed him in concrete in a facility more secure than a supermax guarded by channellers from a parallel dimension, many as strong or stronger than myself, and got to work.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Errr, no. More like indifferent.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Since when could you change peoples personalities?!
*backs away slightly*

Noelle said...

Not to mention that Trip focused on ruining Alastair instead of helping his fiancée.

And that's where the ruined Tadra comes in.

Because Alastair was the only one who could get Adra out
But Trip wanted to ruin him first

And so Adra was stuck for weeks

And now she's ruined too

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Adra..
I. But. But Tadra. BUT ALDRA! BUT ADRA! AND PHYCO ALASTAIR!

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

GUYSSSS

NOOO

I'm here for twenty minutes, maximum, but wbd.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Fabi..

Noelle said...

Sorry Fababu.

:,(

Goddammit....

*Cuddles Bear*

Unknown said...

Hello *waves*

Noelle said...

Okay dammit Trip, I'm going to start to sob again.
I wasn't kidding last night when I said I was going to throw up, I legitimately felt I'll from the emotions and having to write what happened to Adra....

And Alastair's reaction....

No
Nope

Just

No

*Needs to go before I explode*

Noelle said...

Oh and- one more thing. The only reason Trip managed to catch them, is because Adra and he we're gearing up to have sex, and we're too busy to really notice him approaching.

Not that they could have, anyway.

Okay

*now goes*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hi Blogland! Me and Corvo on phone.....She said stuff is happening. So I came on in a panicked rush. So what's actually happened, Corvo was being extremely vague

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I. Just. Eh. I. So many words. So. Many. Words. Just.
*shakes head*
I'm actually speachless.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Er...whats happened?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Trip...Tadra...Adra....Alastair.....Aldra....
Read above. Read the comments from above.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Silente, I sent you an email. Is there anyone else whose full name you're missing?

Unknown said...

I tried to explain... but I'm really bad at it...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I think that's everyone Fabi. I'm going to do more a bit later and probably tommorow too. Thanks for the help though.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bad things, Rhydian. Bad things.

And some goo ones, depending on how you look at it.

But mainly bad.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

what. I have no words....I think I understood what's going on? But.....Speechless

Unknown said...

Good?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Okay. I have to go now, otherwise I'd type up some more.

See y'all around. [poofs]

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bye Fabi.

Unknown said...

Bye

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Bye Fabi

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Heh, Boomeringue.

Punny.

...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Bye Fabi.

That's my responds as well Rhydian..

TRIP WHEN DID YOU LEARN HOW TO CHANGE PEOPLES PERSONALITIES?!

Unknown said...

...okay...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

It's like, emotional alchemist 101.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah but its also..well more than a little scary..
*backs away slightly*
To wipe out a persons personality is basically to destroy them..
*backs away further*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Emotional alchemy?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yup.

But don't worry, it's a very long and arduous process. Even when undertaken by nearly twenty highly powerful emotional alchemists it still took nearly a month. It isn't a combat power really, more of a useful tool.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh okay. That's a little less worrying then.
*nods*
A lot less worrying.
*nods*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

*nods* Alchemy sounds cool...Can somebody teach me?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

It's Trip's skill tree of channelling.

What's a skill tree you ask? Well, here's a poorly written and horridly brief explanation of roughly how channelling works to tell you!

http://anamelessattempttoestablishsomeorder.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/a-kind-of-brief-summary-of-channelling.html

Star Inkbright said...

*the portals reopen, and the clouds retreat, to be converted back into useful power*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I can teach you channelling.

But will I?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Aw, the weather cleared up.

Also, hey Snow.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh hello ago YSKWIABN! Yey THE RAINS FINALLY STOPPED!

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Hmmm....Channelling? I thought that was different to Alchemy?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Or not. I'm not really sure who you are.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

((I'll check out the link later Trip. Laptop being evil))

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

It is.

Follow the link, it explains a lot.

Star Inkbright said...

((Snow?
I'm amused that's who you think I am.))

*the portals now begin to project as if it were a film, showing an empty grey room* *well, it looks grey to the person* *maybe different creatures with different eyesights would see it as a different colour*
*on the cameras, she sees people stop, look up, stare*

Star Inkbright said...

((@Trip: You of all people should know.))

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Um, emotional alchemy is a skill tree of channelling.

"As you can do so much with channelling, it is split into skill trees. A skill tree is very similar to a skill tree in a video game. At a point in a channeller’s training they will have to pick a skill tree to keep developing their skill as a channeller. Once this skill tree is picked there is no way to simply drop it, it is a specialisation that is chosen for life. You can pick others afterwards, but they will never be as powerful as your first skill tree. There are too many to list and they are too varied to describe individually, but my message here is that, despite there being about 30 skill trees, these hardly scratch the surface of what the ancient channellers achieved."

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks up at the holographic grey room*
What the..
*is slightly confuzzled*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

((I do, sorry.))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((I DON'T! its really slightly infuriating, the not knowing..))

Unknown said...

((I am so confused right now))

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

((About what?))

Star Inkbright said...

((Good.))

*a door opens, and a boy walked into the room*
*he has an electrical device on his hand*
*well, in his hand*
*wires run all the way through it*
*his eyes widen with fear as he walks in*
*what?*
*no*
*no*

*He couldn't see where anything fit into the puzzle*

Unknown said...

((What is going on?))

Unknown said...

Er.....OK. Bit confusing, but I think I'll get the hang of it.

So Adra's alchemy discipline, is just part of channelling?

And what type of channeller are you then Trip?

Star Inkbright said...

((I do apologise. I'll reveal it after this.))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

((Oh its the theif boy!))

*continues watching*
*wonders who the boy is*

Star Inkbright said...

((@Rhydian: No. Adra is an Alchemist. That is a completely different discipline. Trip is a channeller who specialises in emotional alchemy. It's the same word, but there are two different meanings. Homophones.))

((I'm continuing a roleplay plot, Corvo. You may wish to read back.))

Unknown said...

((Ah, okay))

Star Inkbright said...

*slowly, the boy walks forward, his feet dragging the ground* *he doesn't want to move, but he is* *he can't stop his body moving* *why can't he stop his body moving?* *he tries to reach out his hand to grab something* *it moves halfway then stops, is dragged back*

*the people on the person's home planet recognise the device on his hand* *they know this*

*the boy involuntarily walks forward to the front of the screen* *he's shivering now, terrified*

Unknown said...

((@Person who I THINK i know who it is: Er.....OK?))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*frowns*
*this is getting weirder*
*that boy looks like hes going to s**t himself*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah, noname said.

However, you should under no circumstances try to learn channelling without a teacher, lest your arm explode.

Or worse, your hole body. Maybe even your head!

Honestly, the list just goes on and on. Just trust me, you want to learn from a guy who knows what he's doing.

Star Inkbright said...

*the something silver swipes across the screen and his head rolls off*
*it's quiet* *nothing overly dramatic about it*
*his body crumples to the floor*
*the camera pans downwards, showing him dead*

*the person speaks*
We can do this to anyone, anywhere.
Fear us.

*the body is dragged away, like it's a discarded wrapper* *fulfilled its purpose, no longer needed*

*the next person walks in through the door*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*isn't particularly afraid to be honest*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*eyes widen*
What's happening?! Where's this coming from?!
*looks around*
*sees no source other than the sky*
*whispers*
What is this..

Unknown said...

.......

I'm so freaked

Unknown said...

OK...I don't like this. This is scary

Star Inkbright said...

((I never claimed the person was good at instilling fear.))

*four more people are walked in and executed* *they vary in age, gender, wealth and species*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at Trip*
What is this?
*gestures to the sky*
Do you know?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Who are these people?

Unknown said...

What's going on?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Trip...Sil...Who knows what's going on?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Er that'd be none of us Rhydian..
*the sight of the killing is making her slightly hungry*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Um, some sort of galactic dictatorship is making an example of either random people or those who oppose them from across their empire and televising it. It's classic medieval fear factor tactics.

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Well i think these fear tactics are working then

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*mutters about being hungry*

Unknown said...

Why are we seeing it if we don't know who they are?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I would expect some form of invasion force to arrive soon, that or we are soon to uncover yet another conspiracy that thinks that it's the only one who 'controls the whole world through subterfuge and assassinations. I have no doubt that they were responsible for many a famous assassination, just like those other guys, and that other one.

The point is, be ready to be thrust into mortal peril.

Star Inkbright said...

*the person smiles at people's reactions*
*the room disappears, and in its place, a logo appears* *she didn't really desire a logo, but it was necessary*
*it's a B, shaped rather like a lightning bolt because the designer thought it would look cool*

*she speaks*
This is our logo.
The B stands for better, because we will do a better job.

*the screen clicks off* *the portals close* *they were taking up too much energy*

*the second display is over*

((Star: Hey! :D))

Unknown said...

*steps back a little*
Okay...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh Yey. Mortal Peril. Fun.
*grins*
I'll be a minute guys.
*runs off*
*comes back with an open blood bag pressed to her lips*
*nods at them*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

See, logos, mild humour... this should be a fine one!

((Yo homie, how's it hangin'?))

Unknown said...

((Hey Star!))

Star Inkbright said...

((Star: You're receiving the whole thingymajdooda because you're on their List.
Blogland isn't actually the intended target. It's just been tagged on because you annoyed them. :P
It's a slow build up of . . . stuff. I'll probably start Phase Three later today, though. Because, like . . . speed.

And THIS is why being anonymous was good for me, because I didn't start TALKING all the time. *laughs*))

Hey Jubi!

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

HEY JUBI!!!!!! MISSED YOU LOADS!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE YOU!!

Unknown said...

((Hi I don't think I've met you? Hi!))

Star Inkbright said...

JUBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) *hugs*
Hey! :)

@Silente: Really?
But my writing style is so SIMILAR and I keep making COMPARISONS to things. XD
It's so fun, being anonymous, though! You people should try it. :)

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

I will Starry! Sounds like fun!

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Really?

Well, I'm happy to surprise people! :)

You see?
This is what happens when you guys don't read my writing.
You don't recognise me.
*pokes*
*remembers I don't actually ever write anything*
Oh.
*frowns*
Well.
That statement backfired. XD

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

JUBI!

HI. IT'S BEEN MONTHS.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Well I haven't seen Amethyst for a while and Dragona was never on at the same time as you..but their profiles were unlocked so I guessed I was wrong and kept wondering who it could be. Never suspected you..

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: If you say so. :)
How's your roleplay going?
I've been reading it, but you know . . . I don't think I've actually been online when you have. :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*Is supermegatacklehugsofdoomtomakeupforthemonthsthatwersupermagetacklehugsofdoom-lessed*

I'm good, you?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

What rp? Horseman and Remi and stuff?

Star Inkbright said...

@Jubi: YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)
I break up at the end of July. -_-

@Silente: Yay!!! :) *hugs*
This makes me happy. :)

I was having to ensure I didn't appear just after or anything . . . :P

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Star- I HAVE 9 MORE DAYS LEFT! :D

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Yeah. *nods*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

MWAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAMERICA

Star Inkbright said...

@Jubi: YAY FOR YOU, THEN! :) *hugs*

We get more breaks throughout the year . . .
Like now. Half term. Yah. You don't get those. :)

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

WELL....
MEH

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

@Starry: Haha it's going good!! A lot more is planned :D feel free to join in anytime!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah I thought you'd just distanced yourself Star. You weren't on all the time but I figured you were word art-ing or something. That'd explain why it was always happening at a time when I was on, and not in american minion time ie 3am! I though I was just spending way to much time here! (Which, tbh I am)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Have I ever met you properly before Jubi?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Zaf!
Bye corvo!

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

HUZZAH!

I have exams. ~:(

Still, at least I have the roleplay.

Oh wait.

Well, at least I have my endless font of entertainment: my imagination!

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Well, Star is a really BORING character and Hunter would kind of ruin it and Ez probably wouldn't particularly CARE so I probably wouldn't join in very well, but it's fun to watch. :)

@Silente: Yay! :P
And - yeah. I'm not Trip. :P
*points to the top comment on this blog* *I was waking up just as Trip was going to sleep and he's ENGLISH* *it's ridiculous* *he's superhuman*

Once I woke up in the morning on a weekend or whatever, so it was 9am, and Adra and Ari were STILL AWAKE ROLEPLAYING and like THEY'D BEEN GOING FOR SEVEN HOURS and like LOL. XD
Superhuman freaks. XD

I like my sleep . . .

And - yeah. :/
Plus I've been doing things like playing Mario Kart and going on bikes rides and fainting and all kinds of adventurous things. C:

I would be here, like, all day if I could. -_-

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

ZAFFYYY!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*


HAI!


Silente- I THINK so.... but if not... HAI!! I'm Jubi :)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Bye Rhydian and Corvo, hey Zaf!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Rhydian! :(

@Zaf: BECAUSE HE ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
I liked that book. :)

@Trip: Yes. :)

Hunter's so good at using his imagination.
It's beautiful to write about.
:)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hi I'm Silente! I'll skip the usual intro of mine, just this once..

@star FAINTING?! What happened?!

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

Hi Trippy. I msd sadly. But im still in shock.

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

WHY MUST JACE DO THIS?!

I knew I shouldn't tryto read a series that I was warned i would be an emotional wreck from....I still have recovered mentally from LSODM..

GOD DAMN IT DEREK WHY?!

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: I didn't actually faint . . .
I just felt like I was going to. :P

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

*havent

K i think Mind Eraser screwed my head up more so..

Roller coaster. Bumpy. Head. Owwy.

I in school now. Blah

Star Inkbright said...

Trip's emotionally wrecking ME. :(
It's not even funny . . . :(

I wasn't actually an emotional wreck from TMI. I first read it when I was younger. I didn't identify as much then . . .

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mbd

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: D: Bah indeed.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Yeah, I just got a quadruple kill, not including myself.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Star Inkbright said...

My brother has music on and I'm trying to write.
*blocks ears*

No...No NOT MY SEXY!!

*may or may not totally be attracted to Jace*

WHY?! I WANT TO STRANGLE LILITH I WANT TO HIT CLARY!!!

*drops to floor*

Why is it the character I like has to become evil?! First Ravel...now Jace...*bangs head* Technically my OC is evil..BAAAAAH!!!


*rams head into a dynamite tree*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Zaf, what's Olivia's full name?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I don't think it's wise to hit your head against trees, especially not explosive ones.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Ahh how I have missed your dynamite, Zaf

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

Olivia. Thats it. She doesnt have a taken name yet....if you want a last name take Javier's given name which is Har.

Star Inkbright said...

*puts earphones in* *puts on headphones on top of them* *pulls a dressing gown over my head*
That's a bit better . . .

Star Inkbright said...

I never liked Jace all that much . . .
I liked Will. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No its fine I just wanted to make sure I was typing it right. That I wasn't missing a name or anything.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I liked the super evil dude, erm...

Oh what was his name?

He was awesome, and killed some of the best characters...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

And- I'm... Splendid. Splendid doesn't seem to get used much any more. So, splendid. :)
idk. I have been doing important art all day, and now that is DONE, and I think I'm happy with it. :)
And now I'm trying to decide whether to do all of the hard maths that I can't do, or the Welsh which I also can't do, or psychology past papers which is the easy option. :P
And it's just started raining and :).

How do you do?

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Yeah . . .
"Aladra

But

Tadra"

That's pretty much been our quote for the past couple of months. XD

I love Aladra AND I love Tadra and it HURTS. :(

Splendid is . . . splendid. :)
It's a weird word. I kind of like it.
Splendid.
Sssppplllend-DID.
:)

Um . . . the maths?

I do okay, I think?
I'm writing, which is good, because it means I'm not stuck. :)

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Yeah. xD

And- I know.
But if Trip said he, like, killed Alastair or something then I feel like Aladra might be a bit difficult without the 'Ala' part?
Which is like, :(.
But then,
But then Tadra can, like, recover together and I think I would be okay with that. :
Whereas if Aladra was killed AND Tadra was killed, that's just D:.

And, yeah, I thought that, too. xD

UGH. But the maths is hard. :P

And- Good. :)
Great! C:

Mary Contrary said...

I'm not sure what the half finished smiley was about, there. Maybe the conflict of emotions was so huge that the mouth just fell off altogether. :P

Mary Contrary said...

*tilts head*

"It's not my fault I failed the exam, Sir, I was DEDDING."

Do you think I could pull that off?

:P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Ugh. Typing.

Just keep typing
Just keep typing
Just keep typing typing typing
What do we do?
We type, type.
COME ON! WEVE GOT TO TYPE AND AND TYPE AND TYPE AND
THHYPE! JUST KEEP ON TYPING AND-

Mary Contrary said...

Hey Silente! :)

*laughs* A part of my brain read every 'typing' as 'swimming' there. :3 ^^

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Silente! :)

@Taia: Ditto. :P

Yeah . . . that sounds like a totally plausible excuse. XD

And - Trip didn't KILL Alastair.
He DESTROYED him.
YOU DON'T EVEN DO THAT.
. . .
*still rather in denial about that*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Hey Star, half here.

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Hey. :)

Damn it.

I was happily writing and then my brother interrupted me and now I'm stuck. -_-

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: :P
*laughs*

And, OK. Tbh, I still don't think I follow the Alastair plot/character very well, but I just- ALADRA. :P

Noelle said...

It would have been easier if Trip had killed Alastair, tbh, but instead he took the three dimensional dodecagonal prism that is Alastair's existence, and cut him and made him a two-dimensional square.

He destroyed Alastair's Identity, which is worse than dying. Alastair is a completely different person, with the name "Alastair Cruciatus".

To be perfectly honest, Adra will probably be more keen on staying with Alastair. The thing is, she won't heal from this. Alastair went in and pulled her out, and Trip was the one who left her in there for so long, you know? Trip decided that destroying Alastair was more important than keeping his fiancée sane, and Alastair couldn't do that.


So yeah...

I don't know what will happen.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: Aw. :/
Maybe try reading back over it?
idk.
I think I read a quote somewhere once that said writer's block is easy to overcome - you just write badly until it becomes good again.
So maybe... that?
Like, just write anything there and carry on, and then maybe fix it up after once you know where you are?
Kind of?
idk.
Good luck. ^^

Mary Contrary said...

@Adra:







oh.

Noelle said...

Cute.. Um.... Pavel Chekov?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I really want to read what happened..

Noelle said...

*Nods*

Yeah....

And it's hard because Trip still wanted her safe, but he still waited too long to try to get her out.

So yeah...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

May I ask..get her out of where?

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

So you now offcially destroyed Niccolò? Well done Adra you destroyed a wonderful character. Aren't you proud?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Zaf..happy place.

Noelle said...

For the record....

I would tell you Silente, but it's really long :/

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Okay then Adra :-)

Noelle said...

Zaf, I didn't even touch him.


Hell, Silente. Adra went there and locked herself there and made symbol that only Alastair could bring her out (in attempt to force Trip into letting him go and stop taking Alastair apart).

And it backfired...

Hmm....
I might copy and paste the bit of hell, if you would like to see what happened in there?

In a nutshell, her Hell is living through the death of every person whom she had ever killed.

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

No. She destroyed Niccolò with her stupid plot!!!!!!!

WHY DO YOU THINK ITS OK DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS WILL FUCKING DO?!

This crossed the line. She has no right. You all are deluded, I knew Nic. You lot mostly did not. This is uncalled for. Nobody was given a chance but Trip. Because Adra doesnt want help, she wants this to be all about HER. Nobody else, you sat here and let it happen.

Mary Contrary said...

@Adra: My picture?
It was supposed to be Kirk as a pigeon, but I screwed up the hair. :P
It probably LOOKS more like Chekov.
But Chekov isn't a pigeon, so, I don't know. :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

ZAF ADRA DIDNT DO ANYTHING OKAY! IF ANYONE HAS AFFECTED NIC IN ANYWAY ITS TRIP!

Don't you dare start having a go at Adra. I don't care how much shes hurting your feelings that doesn't mean you can retaliate. Yes, I realise that's what I'm doing now pretty much but that doesn't make it okay. Stop. It.

Mary Contrary said...

@Adra: :(

Zaf, I understand why you're upset, but there are many people in part to a plot. Every author IN the plot is as much responsible for what happens - if a person IN a plot was damaged or killed in such a way that they were not happy with, I expect that it either would not happen in the first place, or it would be fixed at a later point, one way or another.
Maybe you could help to figure out how to get Nic back in a safe way, rather than arguing against what has already happened in the roleplay so far?
You can choose to sit in denial of what has been made happen in a roleplay plot built by a number of people, or you can constructively do something to help the situation at hand.
That's the way I'd evaluate it, at least. :) ^^

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Zaf I'd like to apologise for if that last comment of mine hurt your feelings. It was wrong for me to snap at you like that. Sorry.

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

If I could......I would. But its not going to end well. I will simply be told no. So thanks to Adra and Trip, the one friend I had is gone

Star Inkbright said...

It wasn't actually Adra. It was Trip.

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

I have Driver's Ed. Bye.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

You have more than one friend Zaf. Even if you don't see them as friends, they see you as friends. I see you as a friend. Even if I argue with you sometimes. Friends quarrel, that doesn't mean they aren't friends.

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

I give them both blame. Adra started it with the plot, Trip ended it. Now excuse me I have class

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Bye then Zaf. I hope you'll forgive me eventually.

*leaves to go feel like crap*
*and listen to music*
*and type*
*but mainly feel like shit*

Star Inkbright said...

And Niccolò might be fine, we don't know.

I'm still in denial about this, anyway. I don't believe it's physically possible, what Trip did.
Or maybe I'd just like to not.
Idk. :/
Either way - it wasn't Adra's fault. She was trying to STOP Trip, in roleplay at least.

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Silente*
I'm sorry . . .

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zaf-

Firstly, no one touched Niccolò. Trip destroyed Alastair.
Secondly, Adra didn't do any of it. In fact, she died trying to spare him.
Thirdly, you have no control over what Alastair or Niccolò or anyone else does, and it's ok to be upset, but it is absolutely not ok to start pointing fingers and yelling. You're not entitled to anyone's safety but your own, and no amount of abrasive comments will stop that.

I'm sorry you're upset, and believe me, Adra and I are, too, but that doesn't make it ok for you to start lashing out at people.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: I realise you're emotionally devastated, but I think that's just roleplay . . . you blaming Adra and Trip and Ari is like you blaming Derek for killing Ravel off. We were all equally devastated.
(Well, I was in denial, so I didn't react as well, but -)
It's feels, that's all it is.
Maybe you don't want characters to change.
Maybe you don't want them to die.
But it happens.
Excuse me, I need to go cry now . . .
