«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 4483 Newer› Newest»(@Derek ah okay then. Thank you for the explaination.
*makes plots on how to convince her step dad to drive her to a different signing*)
(The signing nearest me is during school I think. )
Rose,
I promise NOTHING!
My smiles are like DIAMONDS!
DIAMONDS, I SAY!
(are you rping her?)
JSC: welcome. Vivanus, ask what yu may.
RG: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Dragona,
Ha! I still remember that.
(I guess so)
Viv: yes
BH: yes
Al, you take the questioning from here please.
I've just realised I have had nothing to eat all day.
I must away.
TOODLES, MINIONS!
Rose: *She sticks her tongue out at Lorcan*
Bastard...
Judhipor: *Her eyes seem to widen even more when Ariana grabs her finger*
Oh god oh god Lorcan she's touching me and she's got my finger she's evil and she's doing that thing what the hell is she doing oh my god Lorcan...!
Rose: Hey, it's okay! Don't thank me. Lorcan had to almost kill me a few times to protect Ana. I'm sorry, but I hope the house will make up for it.
(I Mbd/msd/brb. Checking the tour dates.)
JSC: then you may start your questioning.
(BYE DEREK!)
(*quietly fangirling*)
AL: Ma'am, do you know what happened the night of the assault?
(Goodbye, Derek. Thank you so much for coming on. I look forward to next time...
And you will at least give me a shout out. Okay? That is a command, not a request.))
(Bye Derek)
BH: only what Vivanus told me. I do know what his injuries where however.
AL: and what were these injuries?
(Oh. Momentary quietness.)
(I fear Vivanus' IPod may have died.)
(It did)
(I fear Em may have poofed...
Msd... Sleepy..)
(..then how are you here?)
BH: Multiple whip lacerations, several burns, and two broken fingers.
(Charger to save the day)
((I just flipped open LSODM and it went to chapter 22! What are the odds!?))
AL: so not the types of wounds that could be earned during a simple scuffle or assault upon a grand mage without provoking?
(22...there's that number again...)
BH: definitely not. Also they looked fresh, not as if they had been inflicted the morning before.
Lorcan: Judhi! Calm down, she's only saying hello and you're doing fine. She loves cooing and saying hello.
Rose! Judhi is just panicking, could you help here *he laughs a bit more*
STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE IS MY CHAPTER MAN -Zaf
((How weird!!! It's about Zafira and Vex, talking about Bisahalani and that's pretty much the mage I imagined beating Viv up. Vex calls him, "mean." ))
AL: *turns to the judge* and there you have it.
OP: There is no proof those wounds we're causeb by the grand mage! For all we know they could have been self inflicted!
AL: Self inflicted! Why would he do that!
OP: To prevent going to pri-
JSC: Order order!
Seriously listen to this:
My nephew has to read books for the summer, so he only will read them if I read Sceptre of the Ancients to him-Zaf
Yup xD I'm talking about how its so sad and Vex is all grr
Trevor keeps gloating his aunt is the Grand Mage, I told him Derek will most likely kill me off, no Trevor says I can't die xD ugh I hasta go
-Zaf
Rose: *She laughs at Judhipor and leans casually against the wall*
She won't drop her. Judhipor, calm down or I'll make you calm down.
*They both look at each other, like identical twins, both raising an eyebrow*
Judhipor: But she's touching me!
Rose: And my fist will touch your face pretty soon if you don't calm down. Be nice to my Goddaughter.
Judhipor: *She looks at Lorcan, then at Rose, then at Ariana*
Uh... Hi scary little thing... You have my finger, I see... You have tiny little fingers. And no teeth. Please do not try and gum my finger. That would hurt.
(Toodles Zaf!)
(Bah Zaf!)
I'm sorry but how would I burn myself?
(Bye Zaf!)
(HAPPY TOMORROW EVERYONE!!!))
OP: with fire. Obviously.
JSC: I said Order! Unless there are any more witnessess you wish to call then I am bringing this to a close.
(YAY)
How would I get fire while in a holding cell?
JSC: I said Order! Please Mr Keen quieten down. df there are no more witnesses then I will be drawing this meeting to a close.
Lorcan: It's alright if she does, she's just discovering things for the first time. Everything is new for her.
*Ariana coos at Judhipor again as she shakes her head and catches sight of Rose. She gurgles at her.
Lorcan looks over at Casha and sees that she has fallen asleep. He smiles as he walks over and kisses her on the forehead.*
Lorcan: *whispers* I'm so proud of you...
I call Silente Tempest to the stand.
*the doors open and she stalks over to the stand*
OP: He calling another criminal to the stand!
JSC: It is highly unorthodox however i will allow it.
RG: Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
I do.
RG: you are now under oath.
Judhipor: *She stares at Lorcan*
If she does try and bite me, I'm going to throw her at you.
Rose: She's lying.
*She walks up to Ariana and kisses her nose*
Hello there, little one. Aren't you so cute? You're so cute! Aw, I could just steal you away and cuddle you until the rest of my days!
*She kisses the child again*
Judhipor: And to think I once talked with those lips... Ew...
Rose: Okay. Do you seriously want to go a few rounds, because I wil.
*Ariana coos at them both before she puts up a forcefield separating them from one another.
Lorcan smiles.*
Silente, you have heard my story, what would you say about it?
What was the story I told you?
You were action upon your training. Much like a cleave would kill a vampire without hesitation, they are also taught that should they be attacked then they should defend.
AL: There you have it.
OP: She wasn't even there!
(I'm back - it took longer than I expected.)
Rose: *She laughs, nodding at Ariana*
Well played, child. You're only a few days old and you manage to stop your first fight. That is impressive. You and me, kid. We are going to be best friends.
Judhipor: *She realises that she is stuck with the weird-sound-making thing and she looks desperately at Lorcan*
(Hey Dragona! Should I bring out Rose2 so you can RP?)
(Hey Draggie!)
(Rose - not at the moment. Sophia currently has other things to think about - namely how to defeat The Dark Shadow. And then what she should do with Vivanus. Because he put one of her prisoners in a coma. :P Maybe later?)
*Lorcan yawns as he shakes his head at Judhipor.*
Lorcan: Rose would you mind taking her for a few minutes. I really need to get some sleep. Is that okay?
The grand mage attacked you. You put him in a holding cell. He had you thrown in a cell and abused you. You were released due to your injuries. He's been perusing you ever since. When you arrived in blogland you were a nervous wreck.
(Okay!)
Rose: *She laughs and nods as she approaches Ariana, carefully taking her from Judi's arms to her own*
No problem, Lorcan. I'll just wait around here somewhere, okay? Goodnight. Also...
*She fumbles in her pocket for something, then tosses a small silver key at Lorcan*
Enjoy your new house.
(Might see if sleep will come... If I don't return, I'm asleep. If I do, then I might be awake... Or a zombie...)
(Go. To. Sleep! I can wait.)
(Rose - hopefully not the latter.)
(Veev?)
Could the OP please remain quiet Your Honor?
His denial of everything I say is quite annoying.
JSC: Indeed they can.
OP: Objection!
JSC: overruled. Please, continue.
Any of you guys from the Skulduggery Forums?
(Nope)
So what Silente said here is pretty much my story. There is one detail however that she misspoke. I was not released due to my injuries. The Grand Mage had, in his rage, forgotten to close the cell door. That is how I escaped.
Ok Al, take it from here.
(No)
(Nope.)
(Sorry Sil, I was reading LSODM)
AL: Your honor, I ask you, does a man whi clearly was only doing his job truly deserve to be imprisoned for doing his job? The witness said he was a nervous wreck. Why was this Miss Tempest?
He was terrified that the grand mage was there. And that we would arrest him.
OP: *snorts* a criminal vampire arrest someone. Not likely.
JSC: I said enough. If you have no questions then I leave it to the jury.
OP: No. I have questions. *stands and walks to in front of where Silente is*
(What has Vivanus been arrested for?)
*sits back and takes a drink of water, his hands shaking slightly*
(Wow, we filled that page quickly...)
(Assault.)
OP: So Miss Tempest, if that's the name you're going by, what is your relation to Mr Keen.
We are currently in a relationship.
OP: and you would do...anything for him?
Within reason.
OP: and would you class lying as within reason?
Not in court. That'd only worsen the situation.
(Whose assault?)
OP: okay then. And, forgive my intruding, but have you two had sexual intercourse yet.
I see not how that is of your concern.
AL: nor do I.
JSC: AL please you have done your questioning leave OP to his.
OP: thank you your honor. The question Miss Tempest, answer it.
(Upon a grand mage. The ex grand mage of America.)
*glares at OP*
*mutters: I might kill you when this is over*
*hands Al a note*
*note reads:
Find out the backstory of the OP*
I will not answer a question quite so personal.
OP: oh. And why not Miss Tempest. See from your file it is clear that you only have sexual intercourse nowadays with those you greatly care for. And, after all, you are a known liar. What is to say you are not lying, before the supreme court, in order to save your partners skin.
AL: *looks at the note* *writes back 'can't. Not legally allowed to'*
I'm dedicating this page to lawyers. I know we all make jokes about them and fear them but really we need them a lot. So here's to legal staff around the world.
OP: Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, I ask you, can we trust a criminal. A vampire. And a partner of the accused, to tell the truth? I think not.
*sits*
*writes: Ask in attorney circles and see if you can find out if he has any legal experience.*
What is he getting at here?
(Silente - Your character looks like 15, right?)
JSC: Op.I am afraid I must ask you to explain yourself.
OP: gladly. All of the accused's witnesses are friends or girlfriends of the accused. None of them can be held to their word.
(Looks 12. Possibly 14/15 at a push. She's not very developed.)
("oh. And why not Miss Tempest. See from your file it is clear that you only have sexual intercourse nowadays with those you greatly care for."
That disturbs me. Considering the age your character looks.)
(yeah....its a tad weird...but also explainable...I mean she's 133. Just because she looks young doesn't mean she is..)
(Believe me. I've thought of this. Necrophilia and (if based on looks) paedophilia.. (I think that's the right spelling) my character is...icky when it comes to relationships...)
(Objection to you too!)
JSC: on what grounds?
(on what grounds?)
(Yes, Silente. But she still LOOKS 12. So it will be strange for anyone who she's with. And people must be very strange to be with her, really. :P)
(Yeah. I'm surprised anyone actually LIKES her in that way. I thought her looks would set that back. And the fact she's a vampire.)
All of the witnesses have taken oaths to tell the truth. Unless this is a case of perjury no one should be questioning what they say without cold hard proof. The first witness was a Santuary employee at the time I met her. I had to hold her at knife point to get her to heal me. Since then we have become friends but not at the time of the incident.
JSC: Allowed. Okay if there are no further questions I bring this to the jury.
(You are 133 and not completely dead.)
(Ok, it is a little weird...)
*waits for the jury*
(Exactly.)
(Hey, you were the one who started Vivilente..)
*still waiting*
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Derek was here! :) :)
Jury: *walk out into a back room*
JSC: *looks through his files for his next case*
Why Miss Tempest. It seems I get the honor of trying you next. That should be quick and easy.
Jury: *come back*
JSC: what is the verdict
Jury: the Jury fall in favour of Vivanus Keen.
JSC: Very well. Vivanus Keen I sentence you to 60 hours of community service. Now everyone, Miss Tempest ans the jury aside, get out.
(How did i? El started it.)
There is this damn house alarm outside. -_-
I mean, I kind of like it. Alarms are pretty sounds. They're all layered. :) But it DOES make it slightly hard to concentrate . . .
(Alarms. When they're quiet they are alright.)
This one was really loud when I was outside. Now it's kind of . . . medium.
If it was music I probably wouldn't need to turn it up, like.
Aw. It just stopped. :(
*was kind of enjoying that*
Hey Dragona! :)
(Mwhahahahaha I'm having pizza for tea.
Chicago Town Double Pepperoni Takeaway with a sauce stuffed crust.
Awesome. But I don't like the crusts much anyway. :P)
@Drgaona: Yay. :)
I had pizza . . .
*frowns*
No, wait, I DIDN'T have pizza yesterday.
OH WAIT I DID.
Yes, I did.
Um . . .
yeah.
(So I'm taking it you DID have a pizza yesterday? Or have you decided that you didn't? :P)
(Viv?)
@Dragona: I did. *nods* At my friend's. It was nice pizza. :)
Vivilente is still an AMAZING word . . . O_O
@Star what colour is it?
I envy those of you who will be able to make it to London for the Requim Ball.
Have fun and please take photos :)
(ey Miss Pleasant!)
Brb food.
Thanks miss pleasant. :)
@Silente: The word?
*pauses*
Oh . . . idk. D:
Mostly grey-y purple-y red-y, I think. :)
I'm not ENTIRELY sure where the purple is coming from. Probably from my memories of the word 'violet'. :P I see the word 'vivid' as purple as well.
But mostly it reminds me offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff . . . . . . . .
Oh dear.
*frowns, trying to rub off the murky layers covering the thoughts, making them sink into unconciousness*
When I work it out, I'll tell you! D:
Anyway.
You know sometimes when people play songs on devices they have those colour things going on in the background, like, colours moving along with the music?
It reminds me of purple lines zigzagging through one of those things, and they're kind of pinky-purple in the middle and darken towards the edges, like my word art - you get some really nice effects with purple-y colours. :) And -
um -
wait a sec -
I'm going to have to listen to a few songs until I get to the one that reminds me of vivid purple lines . . . XD
*laughs*
Whoops. I broke star.
(Back, I really need to have this iPod checked)
*steps up*
Thank you Your Honor.
*walks over to Sil, hugs her and leaves the room to wait in the hallway*
( I found a color but I don't know its name)
(Sil?)
(Sorry I poofed)
(Hey Sophia, how are you doing)
(Silente, you haven't broke Star. Try turning her off and on again. Works with everything. :P
Or a Factory Reset.)
(Sophia is fine. I think. She's not feeling bad, so just normal.)
(Good. And you?)
(Sorry I poofed to YouTube)
*smiles for Viv*
Be there as soon as i can...
*when everyone else has gone*
JSC: Ah Silente Tempest. Your file seems so empty. And yet you are being accused of so much. Let me guess, you stole your records? Never mind. We have means of finding out the information we needed.
*hangs her head and sighs*
Just get on with it.
(I'm fine, thanks. You?)
So what's your main charge?
(Not too bad. Sophia should meet Viv sometime soon. I reckon it would be an interesting meeting)
@Silente: Sorry. XD
I'm kind of bad at answering seemingly simple questions. XD
OKAY
I FOUND IT
FIRST SONG I CHECKED
WOOHHHHHHH
*copies video URL at current time*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=EbuStnt4WnM#t=351
And now I have no idea WHY it reminds me of purple lines . . .
I mean, it seemed to make more sense in my memories . . . or maybe when I listen to it on my phone rather than on my laptop's YouTube . . .
*digs out phone*
*finds song*
*plays*
No . . .
I still don't get it . . .
I've stopped seeing purple lines now as well . . .
I don't understand where they came from . . . O_O
So, anyway. I thought I'd be able to explain once I found it, but apparently not. :P
*frowns*
*frowns more*
It's an incredible song, anyway. :) :) You should listen from the beginning. I want to do word art for it, but the only idea I have is kind of complex and I'm doing another song, currently . . . :/
(Judging from the fact she knows Vivanus put James into a coma when he was her prisoner - she'll probably punch him.)
JSC: just 'get on with it?' Very well. Silente Tempest, you have been accused of numerous attempted murders, of murder, of theft, of littering, and of treason. How do you plead.
*hesitates*
JSC: i said how do you plead.
how do I plead...
@Dragona: OH MY GOSH. XD *laughs*
Hunter's asking how you do a factory reset now. He points out that he can't ask the hardware store. :P
(He might not mind...it was for a good cause)
(Why is Sophia bothered? She wasn't treating aforementioned prisoner very well anyway. :P)
(Turning a human off and on again is essentially the same as sending them to sleep and waking them up again . . . I've done that TONS of times since Hunter got me and I still haven't fixed myself yet. :P)
You are a litterbug?!! I cannit believe I'm dating a litterbug! I'm kidding. Um, are you guilty of all of it? You might want to answer each charge seperately. Either guilty or not guilty. Never say innocent.
(Sometimes hitting your computer helps. Has he tries hitting you? :p)
JSC: We are waiting
all except the littering
I plead not guilty to the littering.
JSC: and the others?
WHAT DO I DO?!
Treason? You can say not guilty, put off guilty as not worthy of this court...
*instead of the second guilty I meant littering...
just say not guilty to treason
(Sophia is bothered because it's illegal for them to do it. She's arrested him. Putting him in a coma will stop her doing her job. And yes, she doesn't like people getting in her way.
I doubt a factory reset would be very... healthy. Somehow. :P)
May have killed a few kings and queens. And princess. Long story. So...do I plead guilty to the ones im guilty of? Cause that won't exactly get me pinned with community service.
JSC: Miss Tempest! Answer the other charges!
Just say it! And say guilty to the others.
@Silente: Yes, actually.
At midnight in Paris he was talking to C's character and I was on the top bunk in a youth hostel and he banged my head against the metal railing thing stopping you falling off. But apparently I flinched so then he had to hit my head again. And it HURT. And he was just like "That doesn't HURT!" and carried on trying to bash my head whilst complaining that I wasn't doing it properly . . . XD
And then I woke up in the morning and just looked back on that like "WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING" and then I was worried in case my forehead was bruised or something. XD
It wasn't. Good thing I HADN'T been doing it properly . . . XD
(Viv'll give Sophia the antidote...)
@Dragona: That makes sense. :P
@Silente: No princes? :P
I plead guilty to all charges except for littering!
JSC: *leans back* Well then this should be quick an-
Wait! Not all the murders. For some of them I charge guilty on grounds of insanity!
JSC: ..but not to all the murders?
No. Not to all the murders.
*panicking slightly*
I said plead not guilty to treason!
(Assuming that Sophia's ship is still scanning for Silente - she could find the court and y'know, interrupt it if necessary. :P)
You said plead guilty!
JSC: these are very serious charges Miss Tempest. At best it could get you sent to a goal for the rest of your life.
And at worse..?
JSC: *his face is grim* Let us see what happens.
(Have her meet me in the hallway)
Ask him to read you the charges again and take back your guilty plea on treason.
See, this is why you don't represent yourself.
Your honor please may you re-read the charges?
JSC: attempted murder
Guilty
JSC: murder
Guilty
JSC: theft
Guilty
JSC: littering
Not guilty
JSC: and treason
Not guilty
JSC: not guilty
Not guilty?
You should get a lawyer.
*gets a notification from her ship about how they've found Silente*
*uploads the coordinates to her armour's systems, and takes her shuttle to the court building thing*
*lands it outside and gets out, and enters the building*
(You're doing really well at managing to portray the whole court thing, Silente . . . :))
Bit late now!
JSC: why have you changed your claim on treason?
Because, reconsidering my past, treason is false.
JSC: that's a bit better at least...
*looks through his files*
(I'm really not star.)
(I think you are, Silente. :) You're doing much better than I could . . . I would probably just die and freak out. XD
Also, if you DO go to gaol, then Hunter's happy to break you out. :P)
gtg fours. :/
*is blocking the doorway to the court room*
Ask the judge...maybe he'll take pity on you
*sees Sophia coming*
(Aww that's so sweet!)
JSC: now, luckily for you thus country does not have the death penalty. However that doesn't mean we can't banish you back to the vampires. Which, I am told, is a death sentence in itself.
Ask the judge if he can consider something
(Bye Star!)
PITY?! You've seen my past! You know what I'm up for!
You're Vivanus Keen, aren't you?
*hesitates*
Yes..that would be me. And you are?
Consider what?
*swings a punch at his jaw*
The one who arrested James. You interfered with my business. Now please get out of the way.
The fact that none of the murders you are being charged with occurred recently. Say that you have recovered from insanity
*ducks quickly*
Hello. Wasn't expecting that.
But sorry, I refuse to move.
*coughs*
actually about that...
JSC: do you have anything to say before I condemn you for your crimes?
Insanity is a dark thing. And not one that can be control. I have recovered from that.
Again, Vivanus, you are interfering with my business. Move out of the way, or I'll make you move.
And your business is?
I said CHARGED WITH. They don't know about the recent ones yet.
Good point!
JSC: is than an excuse for all of it or just the ones to do with murder.
The theft was a mixture of insanity and a need to help others.
Sil! I just came up with a great way to prove your change...it's risky though.
Stopping this damn trial. I won't warn you again.
*draws her pistol*
Get out of my way.
I like risky! What is it?
No, don't stop the trial. This may be our only chance to get Sil cleared of charges.
you have to prove to him that you can control your vampiric urges...bring me in and lean your face near my jugular and then pull away...or something similar
Look, asshole, do you want me to help your girlfriend or not?
I don't like your tone. Or your words. Or even you really. So wait here until the judge gives the sentence and then you can break in.
Uh...okay.
All those things I did due to a mixture of vampiric urges and tormenting events. If I can be near blood without going crazy, would that prove my case?
JSC: it would lower he ppunishment.
you can control is right?
*grabs him by the throat and slams him against the wall*
People who get in the way of my business don't last long. You don't want to make an enemy of me. The more you delay me, the more chance the vampire will be put in prison.
**it
(Food, brb. Can we pause it?)
Um. If its you, defiantly...however I haven't fed in a while...
So will you allow it?
JSC: *hesitates* on two conditions. Firstly, it is a stranger. Secondly, if you fail you will be sent back to your kind.
*nods* okay.
