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.

@Taia: Thank you, but I think I'm okay . . . I have CGP. :)
Plus, explaining things over the internet sounds really hard. :P

Mary Contrary said...

@Silente: I'm good, thanks! :)
I have a cold, and I wrote twelve sides this afternoon in my English Lit exam pt2, so my knuckles hurt. :P
BUT, I get cake tomorrow.
ANd I'm mostly done with school now.
(Until next year but still. :P)
BUt, idk.
Just, good. :)
Thanks for asking. :)
HOw're you?


#ChaseForBook9

Luciana said...

*huggles Taia* It makes sense to me. You're brilliant. <3 And thanks. :)

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

YOU GET CAKE?!
I'm fine thank you Taia. A little tired but otherwise fine.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: *tilts head* That's a really good way of seeing it, actually . . . :)

And - thank you. :)
I'm really glad I am, too. My friend F has said that she thought this blog has been bad for me because I used to be relatively normal before and now I'm all mad. :P
(I told her that I was never normal. I just didn't used to show it. I just to just kind of sit there in my head, and now I'm openly abnormal and it rocks. :P)

I tell people at school I'm a bubble, you know.
Like, people I sit opposite, and I just go "I'm a bubble" (in relevant conversation, of course) and you should SEE their expressions they just look so weirded-out it's ace. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

We often get cake in history . . .
People just, like, bake stuff, and then bring it in, and then the teacher shares it out over the whole class. XD
Why.

@Taia: :( Massive amounts of writing suck.

#ChaseForBookNine

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: *nods* Fair enough. :)
And- CGP. :P
And, yeah, ok. I didn't think of that. *laughs* :P

*hugs Luce back* :):):)
Thank you -- You too, ofc. :3

@Silente: YEAH! :P
Technically, I don't have to be in school tomorrow. But my English teacher's bringing cake, so I'm enduring the day entirely for that. xD
And- Good. :)


#ChaseForBook9

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

Oh. That's a nice English teacher. A very nice teacher.. that reminds me I need to buy a butt load of sweets for tomorrow...

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

Hey Dragona

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: CGP. :)
And - cake is worth it. XD
Well
I don't like cake THAT much
so I would just stay off

But if they offered ice lollies instead, I would come in, even though we have ice lollies in the freezer at home. :P

The school's started selling ice lollies at lunch . . . they did it last summer as well. Twisters and Calippos. They're so nice. :) I had a Twister even though it was raining and cold today because I'm just like TWISTERS ONLY HAPPEN FOR ONE TERM A YEAR WHY WOULD YOU NOT. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Dragona! :)

@Silente: Why? *tilts head interestedly*

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

Star - Every vice is also a virtue.

Sanity is the ability to deny anything fun;)

BUBBLES ARE WONDERFUL AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SEE THAT ARE TURNIPS


Hey Dragona~

Dragona Pine said...

I have a bad feeling England might be leaving the EU. If we do, I'll hate the British public forever.

Mary Contrary said...

@Star: It does rock. Very rock. :)

Cake! :P
I always like when people who do cooking in school are bored in their lesson and just like OK let's just make cake.
Because people are always so happy, like, CAKE! Y'know? :P
(and sometimes they have spare chocolate left over and chocolate is also good. :P)

But, yeah. My English teacher brought us cakes at the end of the Language course, too. :P
And we get sweets when we finish sections sometimes.

@Star: Yeah. My hand hurts, and I don't remember ANY of what I wrote in the two hours. At all. I think my brain gets to a point where it just zones out and it's just my hand doing words on paper. :P

I was one of the first people out of the exam hall afterwards, and my teacher was waiting outside
And she asked me how it was and what questions were on the papers, and I was just there like O_O because I'd already forgotten what I'd just spent the last two hours writing. xD

#ChaseForBook9

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

Well remember how I said that school changed the year eleven lunch times? Well due to this tomorrow will be the very last time we spend lunch as a group..it might be the last time I see some of them. So for the very short time that is lunch we're forgetting about the fact we're at school, that people can see us, that it might be the end, and we're having a table party. We're celebrating 2 years of being a table. Two short years. It wasn't long enough really. But we're still celebrating.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: :) :) :) :) :) :)
"Every vice is also a virtue" sounds better than saying . . . whatever the hell it is I say that basically means the same thing. :P I might have to quote you. :)
Damn, Silente said I could quote her . . .
*struggles to remember*
"Hope is not lost until you yourself are lost and even then you can still be found you just have to pick yourself up and make the effort" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Although I could actually go on a rant about that, a long one discussing how it wasn't true but it was true and linking and metaphors and all kinds of things, but I'm not sure I can be bothered. :P

BUBBLES ARE WONDERFUL!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
Hunter really agrees with the "sanity is the ability to deny anything fun". :P

Geology rocks.

Luciana said...

*laughs* I've recently discovered my eloquence once more. I had been rather fond of it when it had gone missing... I have a sneaking suspicion that it ran away, though I can't be certain. ;P

That's a pretty quote c:


BUBBLES ARE AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIING

That quote belongs to my Ellikins. :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dragona: Yeah . . . :/

Oh my gosh . . . I really don't want us to. :/

I hope UKIP don't win the election even more, though.
That would just be not good.

@Taia: Yeah . . . :) :) :)

My German teacher gives us biscuits, which is nice, but she's still a crap teacher. :P

And - :)
I'm sure you did fine.
I haven't actually done an English assessment since, like, year seven, where I haven't memorised it beforehand, so assessments tend to be kind of fun, for me . . . I just kind of drift off, let my thread of memory unravel and just kind of sit there in my Zone. It's nice. :)
I realise that this is an impractical way of doing things, but if English essays are going to stress me out that much I'm not really sure I want to be doing English anyway, so . . .
I don't know what I'm going to take for A Level.
Totally don't know. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

I've realised the only things I've posted on Twitter so far are Mass Effect and anti-UKIP stuff. Also there was a random post about Prince Charles and Russia that I retweeted.

Mary Contrary said...

(*got

Gotta get used to putting things about these two school years in the past tense, now. o0 )

@Star: WOW. XD
My school has sold ice lollies (of sorts) since my year 8, I think?
But we don't get Twisters and Calippos. That would be GREAT.
We got, like, cartons of drinks that they put in the freezer. Which is PRETTY MUCH ice lollies, except bigger, and without the stick. :P

@Tempest: YEah. My English teacher has been good. :)
And- Yay! on the sweets. :)

Hey Dragona! How are you?

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

Brb.

Luciana said...

I wouldn't mind the UK being separate from the EU, to be honest.

But, holy frickle frackle, if UKIP win the elections, I'm moving country. c:

Luciana said...

I have a thorough disliking towards UKIP...


Me and my sister were discussing politics earlier. I'm so tempted to pick it up as an extra AS next year...!

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: Eloquence is wonderful. It is also a word I can't spell, which is mostly due to the fact I think I've been pronouncing it wrong all my life.
Ell-oh-quence.
Elllll-ohhhh-quencccce.
Okay, hopefully got it. :P
I never realised there was a second 'n' in nonchalant, either . . . I thought it was nochalent. XD

Well, at least it's run back. :) Probably couldn't survive without you.

Noelle said...

Hi!

Exams are over :)

RP summer 2014 BEGINS

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: Me and Dragona have been emailing about UKIP. :P They suck.

@Dragona: Well, those are good things to tweet about. :)

I remember when Derek began tweeting. XD Lol.

I think I would be good at politics, except I would end up screaming at people whenever I got annoyed, so I was musing the other day that if I was a politician I should just do it all remotely via the internet so then I could argue more calmly and actually make some kind of sense. :P

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Adra!!! :)

YAAAAAAAAAAAY FOR EXAMS! *hugs*

Yeah, I still have two more months of school. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

ADRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


YAY FOR EXAMS BEING OVER!



College is almost over for me. c:
Three weeks left!
But I've got the rest of this week and next week before I'm in again... Stupid college. >_>

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: -_-

#ChaseForBookNine

Luciana said...

When it's sudden death we fight back


If I'm distant, it's due to the fact that I am writing. :)

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

Hi Adra! Yey no more exams!
*hereish*
*just quiet*

Mary Contrary said...

@Silente: I hope the celebrating is fun. :):):)

@Star: *laughs* My German teachers never gave us anything. :P
OH. Except one time at Christmas. We got put into groups we couldn't choose, and there was a quiz and the winning group got Celebrations.
THen, our group won, but she gave the chocolates to the wrong team by accident. xP

@Star: Yeah. THe memorized ones are good because you don't have to panic about not knowing what to write, because, like, you know. :P
But the exam essays are good because you don't have to memorize them for hours, so, *shrugs* idk. :P

I still don't know what I'm doing for A-Level, and I handed in my application form MONTHS ago. xD

The idea of living in a country where the public would choose for their governmental policies to be those of UKIP... That scares me.

HOORAY! :):):)

I still have five exams to go.
BUt none of them are next week, and I'm study leavin'. :) / :P

Requiem Noble said...

Hey Derek, it's fine...you can just look forward to when we all read it and you get to cackle delightedly at how you've ruined our lives and crushed our souls....and then, when we turn the final page and realise all along that everythin has been lwading up to this moment and that we are now totally under you control....

Then...

YOur Munchkin Army will be complete and you can finally take over the world.

Look forward to that

Requiem Noble said...

On a lighter note, hello!

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: I haven't heard them, I apologise. :)

@Taia: Yeah . . . O_O
Just, like -
no.
And - I freak out about English essays, though . . . -_-

Yeah. At least I have a year. :)
I'm sure you'll decide, though. :) Somehow.

Mary Contrary said...

@Adra:
I read that as 'flicks'.
ANd then I looked back again and read 'licks' and thought I just misread, and it is actually flicks.
And then I looked again and it was still 'licks' and I just kind of sat here confused for a second with my brain not understanding. :P

And now idk how to respond because typing *licks back* feels WEIRD, so I'm kind of just typing things instead, and... idk. xD

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

@Mushroom: Yes. I should do that and go distant. *nods, looking at word art :P*

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: *laughs* XD
That sounds like something I'd do . . .
Yeah, Adra licks people. :) She's weird in a nice way. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Requiem Noble said...

Heya!

*backs slowly away from Silente, trying to avoid that smile*
Hello?
*thinks to herself that maybe if she only moves slowly it might just go away*

Mary Contrary said...

Hi Requiem! :)
How are you?

@Star: :(
I'm sure you can do good at them after the freaking bit?
But, yeah. Well, good luckles. :)

#ChaseForBOok9

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

Who might you be?
*still slowly approaching*

#ChaseForBook9

Requiem Noble said...

Hey Taia

I'm good thanks. A little worried. I haven't been here for a while but I come back and immediately get smiled at by someone with a creepy smile....a little worried now...

Requiem Noble said...

*tries even harder to avoid the shimmering eyes. Wonders who even has shimmering eyes*
Hi. I'm Requiem. You are?
*tries to back away subtly. Almost trips. Abandons that plan*

Mary Contrary said...

@Requiem: My advice would be to either grin back and pretend to understand, or RUN.
But since I know your creepy smiler, and I like her, I think I'd go with the former, personally. :P

#ChaseForBook9

Requiem Noble said...

*realises that not commenting results in a need for a new profile picture. Wonders if anyone has any ideas*

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

*speeds up*
*stops in front of Requiem*
*the grin grows ever more*
Hmm..Requiem. Very nice. Ver-ry nice.
*slowly walks around her looking her up and down*
*stops behind her*
*whispers into her ear*
I'm Silente Tempest, the scaries vampire you've ever met.

Star Inkbright said...

@Taia: Not really . . . :P
And - Adra is. :)

@Requiem: Silente is creepy. Don't worry, she's awesome really. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Requiem: Er.
No, sorry. :P

#ChaseForBookNine

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

((Scariest**))

Requiem Noble said...

*gulps*
*remembers why she always found vampires terrifying*
*smiles brightly*
Hello! Nice to meet you!
*wonders if that was convincing*
*curses the fact that her powers don't work on vampires and therefore she has no idea whether it was or not*
*crosses her fingers*

Mary Contrary said...

Erp.
I think Star Trek: TOS is on, and I feel like shipping Bonesxspock (SPONES! :P), so I think I'm gonna go.
Maybe probably bbl.

Bye, all!
*hugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Requiem Noble said...

*hugs Taia*

Bye!

Mary Contrary said...

*Spock
:P

#ChaseForBook9

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

Yes. Nice to meet you too../very/ nice..
*eyes graze over the vein that lay pulsing just below Requiem's skin*
Very nice indeed..
*slowly, very slowly, starts circling her*

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

((BYE TAIA!))

Requiem Noble said...

*realy doesn't want to get attacked by a vampire*
*decides to befriend said vampire instead*
Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Good day?

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

Mmmhmmm..
*still circling while also being carriered closer*
*licks her lips slowly*

Luciana said...

BYE TAIA! *hugs*

Requiem Noble said...

*is getting severely creeped out now*
*wonders if anyone is around to help her*
*wonders if she can reach her bow if the need arises*
*remembers that she's useless in a fight*
*continues to desperately make conversation*
Sooo...read any good books lately?

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, Taia. :(
Fours . . . :(

@Silente: Your whole intro thing is so cool. :)

Hunter just asks people their opinion on erasers . . . :P

#ChaseForBookNine

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

A few..
*grins broader*
They all died in the end. Lots of blood. Lots of gore..
*eyes shimmer again*
*suddenly pounces heading straight for Requiem*

Requiem Noble said...

*agrees with Star in case it gets bonus points with Silente

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

((Thank you Star. Its my way of getting to know them. If they're fighters, what their disciplines are. Occasionally what their blood type is. That sort of stuff))

Requiem Noble said...

*ducks*
*quickly*
*very quickly*

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

*soars over her head*
*spins round as a blur*
*pounces again, faster this time*

Requiem Noble said...

*wonders if surrender will do anything*
*refelcts that Silente would have attacked by the time she gets the words out*
*tries anyway*
I surrender
*throws self flat on the floor to avoid the next leap*

Noelle said...

*Licks*

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

*lands again*
Aww. I hate when they surrender.
*sighs and straightens*
But its wrong to attack if they surrender..
*walks over and offers Requiem a hand up*
Hey. Nice to meet you.

Requiem Noble said...

*is incredibly grateful*
*makes a note to self that she needs to get better at fighting. This is always a problem*
*accepts the hand up*
Hey. Yeah, you too. Nice reflexes by the way. Oh, and if you really want to know, my blood type is A-

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

I know your blood type already.
*smiles*
Your reflexes aren't that bad either. So, let's start again.
*recomposes face*
Hey! I'm Silente Tempest! I presume you've already guessed from the way I move and the pointed teeth that I'm a vampire. Don't worry, I'm not like the others..
*winks*
..I'm worse! How are you?

Requiem Noble said...

You knew already? Well....
*worries slightly as to how*
*smiles again*
Why thank you. I had gathered the vampire bit, yes. I'm Requiem Noble, Sensitive and generally appalling fighter.
Not like the others? Well, I look forward to an interesting relationship then

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

No not like the others. They don't like me. They banished me..
*shrugs*
..not important. Yes you are a terrible fighter. No offense.

Requiem Noble said...

*wonders if she should be worried why Silente was banished*
*wonders if she worries to much*
Ah, ok. May I ask why? In the least confrontational way possible
*nods*
I know. I get told this a lot. When you can normally predict your oponents every move, it's not normally a problem.

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

They don't like my job. Or my past. Or me. To quote them, "your a monster even by our standards. Even us, creatures of the night, think of you as a vile, evil monster. The things you've done, the things you say you'd do again, they are unforgivable. From now on no vampire shall speak of you. None shall help you. You will be hunted freely and should you be found in a position of vulnerability, well then the rules set in place may just be overlooked. Now, run."
*shrugs*
Personally I think I'm too awesome for them.

Requiem Noble said...

Oh well....that sounds....like you have an interesting past.
*isn't entirely sure how to proceed*
*reflects that this is the longest conversation she's ever had with a vampire*
Well, you seem pretty awesome to me. Even with the whole introduction thing

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

*does that creepy grin again*
Interesting is one way to put it...
*eyes shimmer again as she stares into the distance*
*focuses and looks back at her*
Your awesome too. And you smell nice.
*nods her little twelve year olds head*

Requiem Noble said...

*widens her eyes and lets her gaze go unfocussed*
*returns the creepy look with interest*
Why thank you. I think. Smelling nice is, of course, one of the most important things in life

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

Im.....wow.

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

It is. Normally. Unless you want people to go away. Then smelling bad can help. Most things leave you alone when you smell bad. Most.
*smiles normally*
Be a minute!
*runs off*
*to do secret stuff*

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

((You're wow Zaf?))

Requiem Noble said...

*glances at Zafira*

Hey!

*returns gaze to Silente*

Requiem Noble said...

*realises that Silente is gone*

*turns back to Zafira*

Hey. Yeah. Wow. That's.....accurate

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

*comes back*
*a slight smear of red on her pale forehead*
*smiling*
Back. I'm back. Sorry, had a thing. Where were we?

*in the distance faint sirens can be heard*
Sorry. I had a thing. Anyway, where were we?

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

((Fine dragona))

Requiem Noble said...

*immediately loses all sense of dignity*
MARSHMALLOWS! GIVE IT TO MEEEE!!!!
*eats marshmallow*
*turns to Silente*
Heya. That's cool. Things come up. Was it a fun thing? Should I be worred about the thing?

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

Nah it'll be fine. Probably.
*puts the gloves in her pocket*
Just needed to do a job. You know, stuff.
*shrugs*

Hai!

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

Hey Corvo!

Unknown said...

How're y'all doing?

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

Fine thanks you?

Requiem Noble said...

Probably fine. I can live with that. I'm just relying on you to protect me if we get attacked. Cool?

*turns to Corvo*

Hello there! Do you have marshmallows for me too. I shall now judge everyone on whether they have marshmallows

Dragona Pine said...

CORVO I'M FOLLOWING YOU ON TWITTER. AND YOU'RE FOLLOWING ME YOU'RE ONE OF MY FOUR FOLLOWERS. :P

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

Your relying on me to protect you? That'll be fun.. hopefully nothing will happen..
*shrugs*

Unknown said...

@Silente: Good. I'm food too thanks :)

Requiem: ...I'm not sure.
*looks in bag*
*finds marshmallows*
Oh! Yeah! *hands marshmallows over*

@Dragona: I KNOW! :P

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

Dragona Pine said...

I JUST TWEET RANDOM STUFF.


MOSTLY ANTI-UKIP, MASS EFFECT AND ALSO OCCASIONALLY OTHER STUFF.

Unknown said...

Whoa. I looked away for like a second. Hello everyone that appeared while I checked my phone!

Unknown said...

Oh no wait, I was on the wrong page *facepalms* I am such an idiot.

@Sil: Yup. I have loads of random crap in here haha

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello?

Requiem Noble said...

Well, remeber how good I am at fighting....It'll be fine

*grabs marshmallowf from Corvo*
*pauses to admire Corvo's name*
*retreats to corner to gobble marshmallows*
Thank you Corvo

*hears Dragona*
Did somebody mention Mass Effect?

Unknown said...

Hey Ed!

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

*offers marshmallow*

You're quite welcome too Corvo

Yes Dragona. I started the first one about two months ago....it's sooo good! I need to play it all. ANnd 2. And 3....

Edward Fletcher said...

Captain scarlet was great. And stingray, spiderman and hulk. They are all from before my time but I watched them anyway when I was younger

Edward Fletcher said...

Okay then Corv..I won't eat you then..

Oh okay. Good. Present day Ed. Hey Ed? Could you take me back to prehistoric times? I want to see what fighting a t-rex would be like..and meet some prehistoric vampires. Although preferably don't leave me there..

Dragona Pine said...

THE SECOND ONE IS AWESOME.

ALSO SO IS THE THIRD ONE.


ACTUALLY SO ARE ALL OF THEM AS LONG AS YOU DON'T USE A SNIPER RIFLE IN MASS EFFECT 1.


I've been playing nothing BUT Mass Effect for the past... it must be nearly a year. I've had the occasional hour of Assassin's Creed and Battlefield 4 every now and then but other than that it's been straight Mass Effect.

I'm currently also wearing an N7 polo shirt I ordered from the Bioware Store ages ago. It's awesome.

Also I have all the Mass Effect novels, one of the Mass Effect comics and also The Art of the Mass Effect Universe which is concept art from ME1-ME3.

What's your favourite race in the Mass Effect universe?

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: That would require you to go to two different time periods as dinosaurs existed like 65 million years before humans. And there has to be humans for vampires, so...

Unless of course you mean a vampire velociraptor in which case it's fine.

Edward Fletcher said...

Sure Silente *door opens to past* through there

Unknown said...

Wbd. Gonna write.

Requiem Noble said...

Ooh yay. A fellow fan!

N7 polo shirt....you are my new favourite person. That's so cool.

Oh salarian, without doubt. You?

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

@dragona what if vampires were around before humans? Maybe humans or rather some humans evolved from vampires..

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

*smiles and walks to the door*
Your not going to /leave/ me there are you?

Edward Fletcher said...

Of course not Silente. Unless you turn into a vampire, which for safety.

Requiem Noble said...

I've got to go...

*is sad*
*had forgotten how amazing Blogland is*

Bye everyone!

Edward Fletcher said...

Bye Requiem

Dragona Pine said...

Quarians. Salarians are cool but yeah I prefer the Quarians. I find them more interesting, despite the fact they don't have a variant of the STG. I find their history probably the most tragic which I find cool and also I like their helmets.

I also can tell you ever word in Khelish that is said across all the three Mass Effect games :P

Do you have a PS3 or an X-Box or a PC or what?

Dragona Pine said...

Damn I was too slow :P

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

Bye Requiem!

Oh good. If you do I will survive these god knows how many years just to come back here and beat you up for it. Understood? Good.
*grins and runs through the door into prehistoric times*
*is at the top of a hill*
*looks around at the world from long ago*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Opens New door to arctic and starts fishing*

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

*grins and starts looking for a t-rex*
*spots one a couple hundred metres away*
*casually strolls towards it*
*the t-rex turns its giant head to watch the thing approach*
*it begins to run towards her*
*grins and gets ready*

Edward Fletcher said...

*Enters past*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Computers about to die, brb)

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

*the t-rex charges the girl jaws wide and gaping*
*grins and moves as a blur towards the dinosaur running past its open mouth*
*the t-rex spins swinging its head after the girl*
*jumps up and lands on its head, between its eyes*
*swings its head to remove the girl*
*holds on and runs over its giant head to its neck*
G'night little monster.
*swings down and clings to it, biting deep into its neck*

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

((Kk Edward))

Edward Fletcher said...

Have to go, bye

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

Kk bye! I too must leave now. I'll finish eating the t-rex and meeting prehistoric vampires later.

Dragona Pine said...

Is anyone actually here?

Unknown said...

I'm not really.

Dragona Pine said...

Lol well at least SOMEONE is here.

Dragona Pine said...

Out of my 12 tweets on Twitter, 5 are my own :P

Luciana said...

I'm here! Sort of!

John said...

Hullo everyone!

Assuming people are still here of course and you haven't all wandered off to whatever it is you do with your time.

Boomy

Unknown said...

*mutters* damn block...

Unknown said...

Cya!

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

BBBBBAAAAHH

I had Kit Kats for NJ and I have the pile with her address, and the books to be sent. So, my Dad ate the candy I bought for her

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

((Okay, where was I. Ah yes. The t-rex))

*drinks deeply from the t-rex's neck at it swings it head around trying to dislodge her*
*closes her eyes and grins the blood flowing into her mouth in a warm, steady stream*
*absently pulls a bottle from her bag*
*taps the sigil on the bottom of it while still holding on*
*bites harder causing more blood to flow free*
*removes her mouth and replaced it with the bottle*
*licks her lies clean grinning crazily*
*waits until the t-rex is drained dry before putting a cap on the bottomless bottle*

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

*pulls out one of her daggers*
*removes one of the t-rex's hands and slips it into her bag*
*puts the dinosaur into a funny position to puzzle future archelogoists*
*walks around looking for prehistoric vampires or werewolves*
*eyes a darker shade than before from the blood*

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

*climbs up a large hill*
*reaches the top quickly and looks down at the sudden drop on this side*
*spots 4 figures below*
*grins and let's out a slow lazy whistle*
*the figures heads snap up*
Hello there! How are you? Mind if I come down?
*jumps down before they can reply*
*easily absorbs the shock of the fall*
*looks at the people*
*3 vamps 1 werewolf*

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

*the werewolf snarls and makes frantic hand gestures to the vampires*
*the vampires just stare at her, specifically at her forehead*
What are you staring at?
*touches her forehead*
*no blood on it or anything*
*stares back*
*one of the vampires step forwards and run a hand over her forehead in a confusing pattern*
*they leave behind a slight residue which makes clearing the symbol of banishment that had been carved there to mock her*
*the people gather together most hissing or growling in distaste*
*she'd forgotten about that symbol*

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

*in a flash of speed one of the vampires is behind her putting her in an arm lock*
*another has a tight grip on her right shoulder*
*the final vampire and the werewolf stand before her*
What are you doing?!
*the werewolf and vamp exchange their rapid hand signing with each other before seemingly coming to an agreement*
*the werewolf pulls free a jagged looking knife and passes it to the vampire*
What are you doing?! Why do you have a knife?!
*the vampire slowly approaches holding the knife in a tight grip and murmuring strange sounds*
*pulls against the vampires holding her*
Let me go! What are you going to do??

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

*the vampire comes closer*
*my struggles become stronger, for worried*
*its no use, she against another vampire who's strength matches hers*
*the cold knife is laid against the skin of her neck*
NO!
*launches herself backwards into the vamp behind her*
*they are both sent rolling away*
*away from the sharp knife*
*pulls free and jumps to her feet*
*runs off the others fast on her trail*
*she should've thought about that stupid symbol*

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

*weaves through the dense undergrowth*
*the vampires are very close now*
*only a step or so behind*
*she's screwed*
*turns and dives at the one behind her taking them to the ground*
*she's face vampires before, she'll do it again*
*punches the vamp in the face breaking its nose*
*the vampire ignores the blow and starts fighting back*
*becomes desperate as the others draw near*
*3 steps away*
*2*
*1*
*snarls and rips the throat out of the vampire before her throwing the corpse in front of the others*
*turns and runs again*

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

*one of the vampires behind her dive, grabbing her feet and tripping her*
*they are both immediatly upon her*
*the knife slashes across her skin ripping it open*
*screams out and turns to her back kicking at them*
*sends a kick into the knife holders face*
*punches the one on her*
*screwwwwwwed*
*kicks the one that had been on her in the face*
*punches knifey *
*grabs his wrist and twists causing him to drop the knife*
*catches it a swings it towards his throat only to be blocked*
*is punched in the stomach*
*curls over on herself and is slapped across the face*
*stumbles backwards*
*blurs and stabs the knife into one if their backs ripping it downwards causing a large gasj and lots of bleeding to occur*
*grins and turns to the one that had had the knife before*

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

*realises she is healing faster than him*
*nods and decides to use this as an advantage*
*runs the blade down her hand causing blood to squirt out*
*swings her hand at the vamp causing blood to splatter onto his face when he blocks her*
*he reels back in repulsion trying to wipe her blood away*
*runs in and stabs the knife clean through his throat*
*watches him fall back and to the floor*
*dead*
*grins and walks to back where the portal had been*
*its still open*
*walks through to the present day as the portal snaps shut behind her*

Sir said...

*...*
*Bleh*

*Why is that everyone else caught in between asterisks is...*
*Kinda boring?*
*Day in, day out, we just laze about and describe what OTHER people do*
*Why can't we do stuff ourselves?*

*It isn't fair*

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

Well my tablets all but dead and so I must leave, goodbye Sam(ish) goodbye Adra, goodbe Fabi.

Noelle said...

And to you, Tempest.

Sir said...

*He-*
*Oh*
*Another one*

*...*

*I'm lonely*



*I hope I don't go crazy*

Noelle said...

I would answer, my dear Sam, but I can't possibly figure out what you want. Forgive me, I don't know what kind of interaction you're reaching for

Noelle said...

Oh for the love of...

Noelle said...

Right.

Hm.

I dedicate to me, because when dedications roll around, I hardly am mentioned by anyone. So yeah. I dedicate to me because I'm awesome too.

*nods*

Sir said...

*Oh*
*Great*
*Now someone who isn't in asterisks is trying to talk to me*

*LADY, ASTERISKS ARE SOUND-PROOF, AND I CAN'T READ LIPS*

*...*

Noelle said...

*I would answer, my dear Sam, but I can't possibly figure out what you want. Forgive me, I don't know what kind of interaction you're reaching for.*

*That's what I said*

Sir said...

*What*
*WHAT*
*A PERSON*
*OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODAPERSONAPERSONAPERSOOOOON!*

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

*Are you mental?*

Noelle said...

*Calm down Mr/Mrs Sam, it is simply interaction*

Noelle said...

Edit: awesome ish.

Well.
I'm supposedly awesome, but I don't really think so.

Supposedly awesome.

But not really

But still like recognition.

Because I'm here too

Sir said...

*Are you kidding me?*
*Are you KIDDING ME?*
*INTERACTION!*
*IS!*
*pretty amazing if your only company for your whole, rather short life was yourself*

*But I'm not crazy!*
*Hah!*
*Yes!*

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

*Oh dear haven't you noticed we're all a little mad?*

Hello Adra.

*raises glass* Hear hear!

Noelle said...

*Alright, Sam. Alright. *pets head**

-
*Adra stretches lightly and throws on the button-up shirt on the floor before trudging towards the kitchen to make some breakfast- who knows where Alastair's been*

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

*quietly works on her paperwork, having been cleared by Jekyll*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*is in the process of frying eggs* *an incomplete plate occupied by meat and toast is next to the stove* Good morning, love. Have you slept well?

Sir said...

*I just...*
*I haven't...*
*I can hold a conversation!*
*I'm not crazy!*
*Do you have any idea how reassuring that is!?*
*I have been talking to MYSELF for ages!*

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

((Okay. Alastair is cooking that is freaking scary.))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Why thank you, Zafira. I try.))

Noelle said...

*of course you can, Person Sam. *Hugs**
*Anything you want to converse about?*

-
*She smiles crookedly, pulling on the sleeves of his shirt around her* Naturally. I stole your shirt again. *Walks up behind him and wraps her arms around him, kissing his back* And you? I was working through our bond a little to keep you more calm...

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

*watches the lake now, and wonders what it would be like now if we were under a threat*

Ravel: You have very interesting thoughts when you are bored. *sits beside*

*blushes* I just wonder....I mean...I just...

Ravel: We don't know, he could be a blade of grass. You worry too much.
