Book trailers are a tricky thing. When they're done badly, they're a little cringey and vaguely embarrassing. But when they're done right, they're AWESOME.
And because we have the incomparable Mr Tom Percival working on our trailers, we pretty much fit into the awesome category every single time.
I love the fact that it's time to release this. We have other stuff yet to be released/announced, such as what EXACTLY the Theatre of Shadows is and how it can involve everyone around the world. We're always trying to find ways to include our far-flung readers in the fun, and I think we've come up with something special.
But enough from me... Behold the awesome.

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4465 Newer› Newest»I have bloody had it! Oh no, blah blah bad person must kill. Well whoopty-do, the Spectre taught me that killing is the best way to save someone's life. Go figure.
*begins shivering*
This place really freaks me out
Zanida: *easily follows, able to keep herself hidden* *She didn't understand why Rose went to this cell*
(Got to go, night)
(Byii Jag)
James: *tightens the arm on her throat, cutting off her oxygen* thats a lie. You will fix her or you will be dismembered. *slams against the resistance with a tremendous force*
((*Gives Inky a warm hug*))
I'm feeling a bit useless here, and a little upset, so I'm going to leave for now. I'm sure I'll return soon, when I'm in more of a mindset for role-playing. Sorry.
*leaves*
*She smiled and kissed his feathers*
There was this one house, when I came in the first day, it knew it was familiar. This was over in the centre of Ireland... And I knew it from somewhere. So I did a little research and then boom. I remembered. It was the house that I had gone to, to get the scars on my stomach...
(*hugs back* Dammit, I never used to be a hug person ^^)
(Byii Anni)
Zafira: *it doesn't waver, between Zafira, Aro and Alexis's efforts, the wall is thick, Alastair himself would have some difficulty to break through* *kicks James in the ground, shadows all around her like knives*
Oi! Don't make me shoot you. I will do it. Just stop fighting, and solve your problems as humans, not savages.
(Bye Jag!)
*He turned to her and hugged her tightly as he kissed her head.*
Roland: Thank you my darling, you have the healing touch.
(Is my writing non-canon?)
((I'd have answered but I can't exactly speak. -Zaf
(Bye Jag)
*Nye enters*
Nye: What appears to be the problem?
((Bye, Clara!))
((Inky, hugs are just awesome, and you were shivering, so...))
*shakes* not...m much
I j just feel a little off
James: *rolls ands sends shadows and energy towards Zaf, blurring fast and deadly accurate*
There will be no talking Tia.
()
*She lifted her hand to the dazzling golden screen and frowned at it. Something wasn't right. That's all she knew about it. She paced along it's exposed side and pursed her lips. Then she stopped and glanced behind her. She pressed her hand to the wall to the side of the cell and something clicked.
She jerked back. Then she approached a panel that had slid open.
Before she knew it, she had been flung half-way across the hall. Her head cracked on the panels an she slid to the floor, limp*
(haha yea_)
Zafira: *is hit and in seconds her wounds heal* Hmmm....?
Nye: Well, there is two ways I can test you. One, a normal test. Two, I take a sample of heart tissue and remove your organs and magic. You decide
*She hugged Roland back tightly and buried her head into his chest. She listened to his heart beat in his chest and smiled*
Maybe I'm just lucky, my love...?
Test one please *coughs*
*fires a loud warning shot while aiming the gun high*
Why are you doing this, Zafira? You are literally fighting to the death. Just stop!
Zanida: *is over there in seconds, picking Rose up, her lance in hand* What's going on? Show yourself.
Nye: No one ever picks number two. Very well, bite down on the thermometer *hands her thermometer*
(Inky, what do you want the problem to be?)
*Roland then lifted her up and carried her all the way to their bedroom. He put her on the bed and started to undress more. He grinned.*
Roland: I have been so tempted to do this all day.
James: *hurls flames at Zaf's face in a continuous stream*
(I just wanted it to be like an intense flu case, that was building up. She is currently in the early stages of it though)
*bites on the thermometer*
*holds Eds hand*
Zafira: I'm defending myself.
()
*There was a box in the panel, quaking and rattling gently. It was small and silver.
And it rolled out of the secret panel and rolled towards Zanida*
Zafira: *ducks away, sending a dagger for James' throat*
*closes in on James, keeping the revolver aimed at his chest*
STOP. ATTACKING.
(Ok)
It will be fine Inky
Nye: Now *Takes thermometer and quickly takes some blood* I shall process the results
((Yeah, I'm trying to stop murder here, a little help, guys?))
((Where's the concussion grenade when you need it?))
*smiles* thank you
*starts feeling immense pains in leg muscles*
*grimaces*
*leg buckle*
Zafira: If he is attscking me, I'll defend myself.
(Do you even know what side you're fighting on, Tia?)
*She gasped when he picked her up and thrashed in his arms*
I don't like being carried!!
*When she hit the bed, she knew what was going to happen. She blushed deeply and pulled her dress off, leaving her two piece on. She reached towards Roland, taking his hands and pulling him on top of her*
Oh... God... I can't tell you how bad I wanted this to happen...
(Okay ^^
I dedicate this page to Jekyll and Hyde. I watched the Broadway version and thoroughly enjoyed it ^^
Also, to Falling in Reverse, my favourite band atm)
James: *stops the dagger with shadows* *looks at Tia* I will stop when Silente is fixed. *shadows smash into Zaf, knocking her off her feet*
*Catches Inky* You ok?
*Nye finishes tests and returns*
Nye: What happened here?
(Hear hear)
(I've got the paperback of Jekyll and Hyde by my bed right now...)
(^^)
*breathes heavily* its just that my legs started to hurt...
( cool Death ^^)
Nye: It would appear you have a bad case of flu. I recommend rest for a few days.
*swiftly turns on the spot, aiming the revolver at Zafira*
Why won't you fix her, Zafira?
*sighs* but I cant be ill...I cant rest for so long *frowns*
Zanida: *sends flames on it* Die box!!!
Zafira: I don't want her to cause harm to people, I tried and this is the only....way...
Nye: Tough *Walks off*
*Ed and Inky appear back in blogland* I will look after you
*smiles* Thanks, but Im sure you have other things to do *points to tree* I will rest there
James: Liar! You won't fix her because you're selfish and held a grudge! You didn't try jack shit.
*teleports behind Zaf, kicking up between her legs with bone breaking strength*
*Roland smiled as he lay on top of her, looking down onto her blushing face. He kissed her gently on the lips as he tenderly moved a piece of hair off her face.*
Roland: You are going to start losing your words soon darling. I will try not to be so distracting.
*He grinned as his kisses slowly moved and was just tenderly on her jawline.*
*Carries her to tree* No, I shall look after you. However, no wine
()
*The box stopped and a high-pitched wail came from it as the fire hit. It lasted a few seconds before it stopped. As did it's movements.
Rose's breaths were shallow and her body was still limp in Zanida's arms*
*frowns* that's a shame, I could do with a drink
*smiles* Thank you, but you don't have to carry me. Im heavy
Sorry, but no drink. Don't be silly, you need to rest
I DREAMED A DREAM IN TIMES GONE BY
WHEN HOPES WERE HIGH
AND LIFE WORTH LIVING
hi.
(Hi Snow)
Hi Snow. :)
*feels eyes get heavy*
*yawns*
Thank...you
*falls asleep*
(HIYA SNOWY!!! I LOVE DAT SONG!!!)
Zafira, either you will die, or James will die in the name of Silente. Either way, harm's being caused. You can stop it!
*lowers gun*
Please, Zafira, no more killing.
*Sets her down by tree and sits next to her*
*She gasped after the first kiss and moaned quietly as he moved to her jaw. She tilted her head back as her hands lifted up to play with his hair. She rubbed a lock between two fingers, closing her eyes*
Roland... I... I can't think... Mean...
*murmurs something in sleep*
*ears lower*
(*nods at everyone and slinks into shadows to watch*)
*Thinks whether to wake her* ^Quietly* Inky?
(Love the profile pic Snow)
*murmurs* hmm? *open eyes a slit*
are you ok?
Zanida: *runs with Rose, hunting down Astrid*
Astrid: *works on Rose quickly, hoping Loki doesn't find out*
Zafira: I bloody don't care. I'm not dying today.
*snuggles into him* on top of the world *returns to the dream*
*flashes back to the time she attended a human school*
*no one knew what she was, but knew she was different*
*they picked on her*
*she got frustrated*
*she changed in front of mortal children*
*They treated her like the animal she was*
*they chucked stones at her, beat her up*
*flinches in sleep*
James: then fix her. *shadows grasp Zaf's limbs and form a collar around her neck* fix her now.
*Roland's kisses made their way down to her neck as he kissed from one side to the other.
He then grabbed her wrists and held them down above her head as he started to slowly but gently bite her neck.*
Roland: *whispers* try and think for me darling...
*Puts arm round her* It's ok
*stops flinching*
*murmurs something*
()
*She gasped quickly and opened her eyes. She looked around, blinking, trying to get her bearings*
I was... What just happened... I was hugging Thor... He didn't hit me did he?! Oh... That would explain the headache....
*She looked at Astrid and Zanida. Then she frowned and sat up, pulling both into a tight hug*
What happened...?
*smiles in sleep* then...you...came
*clutches locket around neck*
*Smiles*
Zanida: Some box lured you into the dungeons....then...this...
Zafira: Let me go.
*tickles him subconsciously with ears*
James: fix her. *shadows tighten*
*Tries to laugh quietly so as not to wake her*
*She moaned again. Her head was full of static and flickers of random thoughts. She tried to concentrate to for a sentence, but Roland's lips, his teeth, it was making it hard*
I... Love you, Roland...
*She tried to pull her wrists free, tried to wriggle out of his grip, but she couldn't. She was defenceless*
You're beautiful... Don't... Stop...
( He is we is the only band that makes me cry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Gf2SOmz5Q)
Zafira: I. Can't. Fix. Her.
*ears keep twitching*
*Balances giraffe on Inkys head while she sleeps*
James: *shadows start pulling her limbs slightly putwards and the ones around her neck start digging into her skin* and I cant stand liars. Fix her.
((Wow, Inky, that's really sad))
Fine, you know what, fine. I'm not even mad.
*hurls the gun at Zafira*
They were blanks! I'd never shoot any of you!
I've had it with you!
*storms off*
*walks outside, and repeatedly punches the ground until both hands are bloody*
And you sick people choose to inflict even worse pain upon others?
()
*She frowned*
A box...?
*She thought about that for a moment, then she gasped and recoiled away from them*
God. No... If it's... I had a dream about something like this happening after Loki took me here in the first place... But I thought it was nothing... Just a box that didn't like me... Or any others like me...
*sleeps blissfully unaware*
*Roland chuckled in her ear as his kisses travelled down to her collarbone. Slowly going from side to side.*
Roland: You are improving, I am impressed.
*He then brought his wing down and let the tips of his outer feathers caress her stomach and the outside of her legs.*
( It really is :'()
*Places top hat on giraffe*
*sneezes high pitched*
*everything falls*
*wakes up with a start* What the...?
*glares at Ed*
Zanida: Well that's creepy, but we shall make sure it never bothers me again.
*Looks innocent* It was vixie
*raises an eyebrow*
Cause that happened
*Vixie growls at Ed*
James: *shadows start pulling her limbs slightly putwards and the ones around her neck start digging into her skin* and I cant stand liars. Fix her.
(you know Ed, that's something my dad would do
Try something funny then blames it on someone else)
*Places top hat on Inky* Vixie did it, I swear
*rolls eyes*
*coughs*
*grins* well? does it suit me?
(I am not sure if that is good or bad. I shall presume it is good. Thank you Inky)
*She tilted her head down so she could kiss his hair. Every kiss he gave made her chest feel warmer and warmer. Her heart was thudding loudly in her chest and she was certain that he could hear it*
Roland... Your wings...
*She couldn't say anything more. His feathers and touched her stomach and her legs made her face flush a deeper shade of red. She tried to struggle again, needing to give him the same feeling as she had, but his lips made it impossible. She tried not to give up, but each kiss took away all her energy*
Actually, it does suit you *grins*
(it is good...seeing as I take after him :P)
*smirks* well that's good news
*puts ha on Ed*
*wolf whistles* now who does it suit?
brb
()
*She smiled and hugged Zanida tightly*
Thank you... Also, I was talking to Zafira earlier... She said that armour might be a good idea...
(kay)
*Roland made his way back up to her face and tenderly kissed her lips.*
Roland: You are not giving up against me already are you darling?
*He gave her wrists a small squeeze under his grip to remind her that he still had a hold on her.
He then made his way back down until he was gently nibbling her neck again.*
*runs back towards Zaf and tackles James to the ground*
Why won't you stop?
*tears start coming to her eyes as she looks down at James*
Just stop the violence, the pain, the-
*completely and utterly breaks down*
((Well done, look at what you've done now))
*She tried to get free again, trying to ignore his mouth on her neck, trying to distract herself so she could pull herself free. She couldn't. She couldn't ign-
His teeth grazing her skin made her shiver and her eyes flutter. She tried to take a deep breath, but all that came were tiny little gasps*
Roland... Please....
Zanida: It would be...
James: *stares at the crying girl*
(@Zaf I have replied btw. Twice.)
*In between his nibbles he spoke to her.*
Roland: Please... what... darling?
*His feathers rubbed up and down on her legs again, slowly and rhythmically just up and down.*
*grins* I suppose it does suit me
()
*She frowned and looked away shyly*
Would that... Be able to be arranged by any chance...?
---
*She groaned. She didn't know what she wanted. His feathers was making her head even cloudier*
Free... Wrists free...
*She tried to pull away from his hands, weaker than the past attempts. She couldn't think straight. All she thought about was his lips an his feathers on her body. She moaned loudly when he nibbled her in one spot and her eyes fluttered*
*laughs* you should wear it more often
I shall
And, you shall carry this
*goves the giraffe to hin*
*looks up at James, barely containing her tears*
All my life I've wanted to be one of you guys. Throw around fire, play with shadows, stop the bad guys. But you're not the good guys.
*brings up her bloody hand to wipe the tears*
You're the ones who take our loved ones. You're the ones who hurt us. How did you become so cruel?
Um, ok *holds girafe*
Zanida: We can if you would like.
(thanks. *leaves*)
*smirks* sir Ed of the giraffes
And if I see you without the giraffe, I'll have to punish you
*Roland continued just kissing and rubbing his feathers off her. It was bringing her to an ecstasy he had never seen before. He nibbled on her ear as he whispered.*
Roland: Maybe I am enjoying this too much my love. You want me, come get me.
*He went back to the torture on her neck and collarbone.*
Oh will you? *smiles*
*grins* yes I will, I'm afraid
*giraffe disappears* I appear to have lost the giraffe
*rolls eyes* what ever shall I do with you?
()
I'd really appreciate it, Zanida...
---
*She groaned and focused all her strength on getting her wrists free. She got one close, just a little bit more and it would be free.
His lips distracted her again and she lost all her progress. She couldn't breathe properly. Shallow gasps was all she had. And his lips...
She couldn't think whenever he touched her. She tried everything to be free... Nothing would work. She tried to concerntrate to formulate a sentence but the order got lost somewhere in her haze*
Whatever you wish
But I'm ill
((Have we worked ourselves into a corner?))
*smirks* you will have to wait unfortunately
*sneezes high pitched and cute*
*He left her neck and just sucked and nibbled on her ear for a few minutes.*
Roland: If you get free, I found a surprise that I think you would enjoy. You know you want me baby...
*He started nibbling on her jawline before nibbling on her lower lip like she did to him earlier on.*
*laughs* it appears I must
Being ill sucks *ciughs* *frowns*
I keep getting weird dreams, did I act strangely when I was asleep?
(What IS that, Elleni?)
(Elleni?)
Gtg, bye
I have tot go mum caught me on phone
Byii
*She groaned when he started on her ear. Oh god. Oh god oh god oh god. Her brain stopped working. She stopped fighting him. She just lay there.
When he mentioned a baby, she looked over to him*
I... Remember... You'd make... A great father...
*With one last desperate pull, she broke free of his grip and took his face in her hands, pulling him roughly against her, her lips attack his*
(I'll be back in 15/20 mins...)
(Bye, Inky!)
(How can we help Silente?)
*Roland let out a surprised noise as he was quickly pulled in for her passionate attack on him. He responded to her, seeing how quickly she upped the tempo. He pulled slightly away from her as he got his breath back.*
Roland: I guess you deserve your surprise now.
*He left the bed and started rummaging through one of his bags. He walked back over to her with his hands behind his back. He sat beside her and then showed her what he had, with a cheeky grin on his face.
It was a pair of handcuffs.*
(I don't know, but the thought that I likely contributed to this by arguing/fighting over Silente isn't comforting. I just hope she's ok, and wish I could help her.)
((Sorry trying to download ios 8...-Zaf
@Elleni: I think people weren't responding to her comments. Being ignored can be immensely infuriating, to say the least, so . . .
Anyway - that's my best, quite-well-educated guess (GUESS).
*soars in on an icecream cone*
GREETINGS!!
HAI ELLENI!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
I did warm I'd poof and I'm trying to download ios 8 and I'm trying to do English homework.-Zaf
@Zaf: Yeah, I know - it's okay. :/
@Elleni: Okay. :/ :/
ios 8 downloading is SLOW.-Zaf
Hey, Jubi!
Would anyone mind if I created a diagram or a list to keep track of Bloglanders' time zones and usual online times?
wait
has something happened?
what happened?
(Zaf, I'm not an iPhone user but I'm guessing it's because everyone is downloading it instantaneously)
HAI TIA! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
Sure no prob :)
Wait
what?
why?
what happened?
I read back in the comments but I'm still lost...
Well damn...
crap i gtg
i shall return
*She looked at the handcuffs, her eyes widening*
I... I don't even know where you got them from, but I'll fight you before you get them on me.
*She put her hands behind her back and grinned up at him. Her heart was racing, both with excitement of what was about to come and the past events*
You'll never take me alive.
*Roland chuckled as he leaned in and started to kiss her shoulders from behind.*
Roland: I think it is your turn to have some fun my love.
*He handed her the handcuffs and closed his eyes as he took a deep breath in anticipation.*
*She smirked and took the handcuffs. She pulled his wrists behind his back and clicked the handuffs around them. Then she pushed him backwards and climbed onto his chest and bit his lip*
You're cheeky. And for what you just did, you should expect some pretty torturous things now...
*She grinned and nibbled along his jaw, chuckling*
*He groaned softly as she bit his lip, it was a brand new sensation for him and made him feel so good.
He then let out a moan as she started kissing along his jaw.
He moved slightly against the handcuffs whilst taking another deep breath. He didn't want to ruin the moment so he pushed his past down as far as he could.*
*She smiled and started to nibble down his neck while her hands traced his chest. He was perfect. And he was all for her. She made her way down his chest and stopped halfway down*
Are you alright, love...?
*He groaned again as she reached his neck. Feeling her hands on his chest was becoming a sensory overload for him.
He looked at her and nodded.*
Roland: I am fine my love.
*She grinned up at him and kissed his nose*
Well, you're probably not going to at the end of this...
*She kissed along his shoulders, from one side to the other. Then she wriggled backwards and kissed up from his stomach to his jaw slowly*
*He chuckled and then moaned as he felt her move all the way down to slowly coming back up.
He moved his wrists slightly to test the handcuffs. They weren't moving. He was at her complete mercy, for her to do whatever she wanted with him.
That thought excited him.*
(I've got class... I'm sorry... You should sleep.)
I'm really, really distant...
ok... im hanging on by a wire in class right now... ive failed this subject and see no point in attending...
no, that's because work exp wont get back to me. and my parents have called and she's always out.
Work Experience
Sorry Rose helping Mom with iPhone
IOS 8 IS WEIRD!!!-Zaf
I haven't got the new ios...
I think I'm calling it a night now (furthermore, I've lost all interest in rp-ing for the foreseeable future) so I wish you a good day (or night)
Rose, I can't give much advice (and I'm sorry about that) apart from telling you to do your best (the feeling that you haven't done your best - it's not good. It really makes a person doubt themselves.)
Take care, guys!
(Tia, it's not my fault. It's the buisness' fault that I'm trying to do work exp for...)
Its cruel, Rose. No it's cool I swear. Not bad at all.-Zaf
(Yeah, ofc it's not your fault that the business hasn't gotten back to you. I meant life in general, decisions you make or will have to make.
Then again we're about the same age so you probably already know regret...)
(I swear I'm not usually this depressed)
*depressing
*huggles Tia* -Zaf
They just emailed me then.
(Sorry, was thinking of a more acceptable way of saying that I don't deserve your hugs while simultaneously searching for a youtube link to Imagine Dragons - Who We Are to share with you.
Conclusion: youtube quality is awful but your *hugs* are nice)
*Listens to the song and falls asleep*
Ooh what did it say?-Zaf
They sent me back my forms.
I feel like ripping out some eyes.
*Springs on the random person and tears out their eyes*
Much better.
*Hugs El back*
Lol Rose.....
El- why are you so damn curious when her school ends? If it helps I'm EST she's 14hrs ahesd of me.-Zaf
Well, i've been at school for an hour and a bit...
I'm not as busy now...
I see I missed quite the little spat earlier. Shame.
