«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4135 Newer› Newest»*Shrugs lightly, pulling away for a moment* You become small kittens on occasion- that's no different.. *Moves back to his throat, and makes a new mark above the old one, looping her arms around his neck* *Laughs once, imagining Marguerite's face if she saw them*
*smiles at her laughter* Does something amuse you?
*Grina faintly against him* *Murmurs* If your mother simply stepped out and saw us... *She pulls away, wiping the blood from his mouth* You look endearing. You should leave that there for a bit. *Gestures to his throat somewhere* I like it.
Oh, she'd most definitely be beyond horrified.
Stroll about in public in 1467 with an open and bloodied neck? *smirks* That sounds like exactly the sort of public disturbance I'd like to cause.
Oh, if course it is, love. *Rolls her eyes playfully* And whilst you do that, I will be sure to sit in this alleyway and watch you, whilst laughing at your silly antics.
*kisses her lightly* You were the one who asked me to leave it, my darling.
I was being serious, love. *Threads her fingers with his* I'm not all good, you know. *Pulls him after her as she moves towards the end of the alleyway* If anything, we can just scare people into giving us food and a blanket for our picnic, because I doubt that either of us happen to have any on hand.
This cloak can easily become a blanket, but we could certainly do with food. Shall I feign dying again?
What, to freak people out? "Oh, excuse me, my lover is dying. Can we take your food?"
*Pauses* Oh.
Alright, point me towards a market. I'll sneak in the back while you stumble through the doors. And I'll try not to mess things up as I nick the food.
*laughs lightly* My lover is dying, can we take your food. *kisses her hair* I love you.
All the nearby marketplaces are outside, but the same logic ought to apply. *teleports them to another small alley, not far away* What would you consider messing up?
I love you more!
And- well- messing up, what with not being able to see, accidentally knocking the entire store over..
(Sorry- I thought you had left!! Though, you probably have now...
Sorry..)
Ah, I see. Well, the square is cobblestone, if that helps.
((Not quite yet, but you've no need to apologize.))
(My love!!!
*Tackles* *Cuddles*)
-
*She nods* Sounds good.... *There's a stall about twenty feet away* *Moves toward the back of it* *Toward Alastair* Go get 'em, tiger.
((*cuddles Adra*))
*smirks slightly at the expression, then staggers into the square, quickly collapsing*
*She waits for the people to begin to scream, and she takes one of her skirts, and stealing cheese, bread, and whatever fruit she can get* *Moves to the next stall, and grabs a few pieces of meat from the butcher, sniffing them first to make sure they're fresh*
*Steals away with them*
*bleeds out faster onto the stones as a few people gather around him, choking on his own blood for effect* * lets his eyes start to glaze over, slowly falling still*
*She doesn't like how he's fallen still, despite the fact that she knows that it's fake* *Steals some wine from a more expensive stall, and then runs for the trees*
*after a few moments, appears beside her, falling back to lean against a tree, and breathing heavily* How was that?
Marvellous, love... *She would hug him, but she doesn't want to the drop the food* Are you alright?
Of course. *two people from the market haul his limp form not far from Alastair and Adra* *waits for them to walk away again, and vanishes, mixing back into one* *half staggers to his feet, and walks back over to her, falling against the same tree and taking heavier breaths*
*She moves to him, and helps him remove the cloak, setting it down, followed by all of their food*
*Moves over to him, then, and takes his hand* Sit, please...
I just read the comments where Dragona and Dugglyn said the dreams they had...
I just had one where I met danisnotonfire and escaped cannibals...
O_O
My brain's weird.
*is going back to read all the other comments so wbd*
so we are in english. and we are answering the question "who are you"
and we were writing things on the bored about what we'd say if a stranger would asked us that question. and i was just think of how I would say my name, or my age or my hobbies like others, i'd go on a rant about how that is an imposible question to answer because no one really knows who the are
Purple?
Anybody lurking in the shadows?
I'm here....
No!
Ok!
So nobody's here.
How are you today?
I'm not!
(Also, I replied to your comment on MageBay)
So, would nobody like to have tea with me?
YAY!!!! Dugglyn (kinda) has a house!!!!!
Cool!
*sets up a table and two chairs*
*places a tea pot and two cups and saucers on the table*
*also puts cookies, milk, sandwiches, and sugar on the table*
*sits in the chair*
*pours tea for herself and nobody*
Would you like some some sugar?
No one would not like to have no tea with nobody, but if, hypothetically, somebody were here, she would love to have tea with you.
[If, hypothetically, she were here, she would like some honey, if any is available. If not, sugar would be fine, thank you.]
Ok! Sounds good!
*adds honey to Nobody's tea*
[It was there the whole time!]
*adds ketchup to her own*
This is mighty fine tea!
*takes a cookie off the plate and eats it*
Oh, would Nobody like a cookie? Or a sandwich?
*checks her watch*
Oh dear! It appears No One has to go! Sorry!
*runs away*
Toodaloo!
((Nixion Strange used to use the name Nobody, and while I didn't know him at the time, I'd feel wrong about using the same name in the same place, so could you maybe refer to me as Hypothetically or something?))
[Would hypothetically like a sandwich, if she were here]
((Goodbye!))
*the cloak shifts into a blanket on the ground, and he sits on it, gradually slowing his breaths* That went rather surprisingly well.
*Wraps her arms around him, and pulls him toward her, so that his head is in her lap* *Runs her fingers through his hair* You don't say...
*closes his eyes, leaning against her* Are you pleased with what food you have?
In response to Fabi: ok! Can I be no one?
I am, love. I was just beginning to make a small fire... *Gestures to the meat that's cooking on a skewer over the flames*
*Cuts a loaf of bread, and it's crunchy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside* *Puts a piece of cheese on it, then begins to slice a tomato, placing that on the top*
*Takes a bite from it* I have some grapes... *Smiles down at him* It would be totally cute if I fed them to you.
Love..
*explodes*-Zaf
((Apologies for vanishing.))
You're welcome to, if you like. I certainly won't complain.
(*Licks*)
Good. *She smiles, and picks up a bushel of grapes holding them over his mouth* My liege...
Hm? *pauses* Are you going to feed all of those to me at once?
No. *Lets it fall a little against his face* You're supposed to bite one off the stem. Haven't you seen those cliché drawings of Egyptian rulers being fed grapes off the stem?
Oh. *bites a grape off of its stem* I haven't, no.
Weird. It's a thing. *Takes a second bite from her makeshift pizza* *Picks a grape off for her own* mmm... Yum.
*bites another grape off of the stem* I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, love. Contentment suits you.
Thank you, my love. *Picks another grape, and then throws it onto his nose playfully, where it bounces off*
I assume I wasn't meant to eat that one?
Of course not, silly. *Leans over and kisses him gently* hmm... *Reaches over him, and grabs some more bread, and putting a slice of chicken on it, then handing it to him*
*eats the bread and chicken* Thank you, love. *pauses* Do you recall why you didn't want me to starve myself ages ago?
*Pauses* Wait- what? Wait- what? When? And who?
I'm sure I had some idea at the time, but I can't remember now... Months ago at least, when Niccolò took control briefly and asked you to bind him, so you had me in a thickly walled off room in your laboratory. I told you I'd simply lay there and slowly deteriorate, so you offered to let me leave the room and wander about the lab if I would eat. *mild irritation creeps into his voice* I had to recreate every one of my knives after that...
*Gasps* I'm sorry- I didn't know that would happen...
*Quietly* I've always considered you my friend, Alastair. Always- even when you hated me and wanted to hurt me, I looked past all of that... I didn't want you to die, Alastair. You were my friend, I mean- I couldn't let that happen.
Well, you did tell me I'd never find them. It was quite alright, though, anyway- you did what you thought was best, and the knives were better once I had to recreate them, besides. I regularly rebuild and improve small sets- just never all of them at once.
*rolls onto his side, wrapping his arms around her and resting his head against her waist* You are so extraordinary, Adra. *smiles slightly* We were probably almost polar opposites for a time.
*Still feels guilt, and runs her fingers though his hair*
Probably. Except you continues to say that my eyes were beautiful, and so I wasn't discouraged.
As usual my night is ruined when I have to read this...disgusting thing you call roleplay. Perhaps maybe if you two would get a room, it would be less boring.
((Look Aladra, that is the view of Loki not me.-Zaf))
Indeed, they are. I painted them once. Twice, actually. I should paint them again...
...
-
*Smiles* Why, because they're losing their color? *She brushes a finger over his jaw gently*
((Well, I do love to ruin people's nights.))
I find it sad, that the once great Alastair Cruciatus has become so soft. It is women that do it, and I watched Thor turn soft too, over that pathetic excuse of a woman, Jane Foster. Adra is no different, she is weak, and useless. Yet Alastair falls for her, how sad. What happened to the man who took children hostage, and tortured people for fun? I thought when Zafira mentioned you, I would find a man worth my time, instead I found a lovestruck fool.
Your very being ruins my night, Alastair.
Get off of me you mewling quim! *shoves El away*
No, because the last two paintings- as identical as paintings can be to each other- were of your eyes while you were crying. I'd much rather see you enjoying yourself.
*Smiles faintly, and touches her finger to his nose* Well then, I look forward to hearing of it, love. *Gets herself a piece of chicken, and places it on bread of her own* mmm... I love chicken sometimes.
*adds salt and sugar to Loki's face and noms*
*vanishes and appears behind Dugglyn and stabs in the back*
((Perhaps you ought to consider picking up a few new insults, Loki. I've heard it said you have a silver tongue, yet you rarely say anything other than pathetic, mewling quim, and lovestruck fool, or something of the like. Generic or overused insults lose their potency.))
Only sometimes?
*turns into mist and the knife goes right through the mist*
Ok, ok. I'll stop! Sheesh! No need to try to stab me!
Yeah, processed chicken isn't really a go-to. Organic farms are where I like to buy. And I suppose now is as good a time as any to get chicken for what it is.
*Finishes her piece* mmm.. Yum. *Leans over him, and picks up a clove of garlic, and a small glass bottle of olive oil, dabbing a bit of olive oil on the bread and spreading it around with her finger before taking the garlic and slicing it in half, spreading that as well*
Zanida: *is wandering around the living room*
You're up late.
Zanida: I cannot sleep. I want to see Thor again.
Remember what happens if either one of us go back to Asgard.
Zanida: I know! I just....
Astrid: You want your other half, I understand. Thor really does miss you, Zan. He watches the Bifrost from your balcony at night. Ever since Frigga was revived she has spent time with him, she even offered to go search for you.
Frigga...is alive?
Perhaps you ought to find something better to analyze about me, Alastair. I heard you were a man who was feared, but I see not that. I see a man who is worthless, just like any other Midgardian. You believe yourself powerful, but you lack the understanding of true power.
Bye El!!
If I wish to kill you, Midgardian, I would have.
((True power is relative. I only claim to be exactly what I am.))
*closes his eyes, laying against her and letting her heartbeat drown out the rest of the world*
((Msd, sleepy.-Zaf))
*sits on a couch and eats popcorn*
*watches the role play*
I just love Aladra role plays!
And Loki. He thinks he's so great....
*eats more popcorn*
*Leans against the tree, and rubs his back gently, her other hand lightly brushing up and down his arm* *Kisses his hair, then shuts her own eyes*
You are weak, and worthless. You are not powerful, not like you used to be. I have an army, Alastair. You have a mind full of screaming names, you hardly can think. You are better off letting Niccolò out, he has more value broken or not, then you will ever have.
Sheep. Sheep. Sheep. Sheep!
Shut the fuck up, Loki
Look who speaks, the little slut herself.
((Unreasonable people cannot be reasoned with. I don't think you're worth the breath it takes to insult you.))
*pulls gently closer to her*
You are not worth a simple thought, Alastair. My sister thinks you're powerful, I believe she is mistaken.
Loki, you've no reason to call her that. Why don't you do something with your life other than consistently attacking the same person for absolutely no reason to speak of except external prejudice.
*Smiles, and then lays back, sighing in content at the breeze*
Where are we, anyway?
How is Adra a slut? She's with Alastair, and she isn't a part of that kind of life.
I find it fun to attack Adra, she reacts perfectly, now attacking you, well I believe you to be very messed up.
Zanida: Alastair, feel free to drop kick him, I told him he'll end up dead if he keeps insulting Adra.
*throws a cow at Loki*
*turns into mist and floats away*
(Gtg. May be back)
I find her to be, first she was with Trip, I remember hearing she was expecting. Then she sleeps with Alastair, yes, I consider he disgustinf, perhaps a whore, and a worthless shell of a human being.
...
:,(
Hello.
You need a reality check, Adra.
((Okay! This is Zaf saying I am forcing Loki off and going to bed before he starts making people upset!-Zaf))
*hugs Adra* *utterly despises Loki* People are already upset.
:(
Can we continue this story tomorrow? I kind of want to hunker down now...
You know where I'll be, Alastair.
((Sorry Amy! (For decapitation) not here))
((It's okay, Dugglyn! I get to nom on people's heads and they don't notice much! :D))
((Oh good! I'm going to sheep now. Really tired.....))
((Okay. Good night!))
Of course, love.
Elleni! *noms head*
-_- I'm a ghost. Don't worry!!! *continues nomming head*
XD Nom everyone's faces!
*noms everyone's faces*
It's okay Elleni! I like you!
*hugs her and noms her face*
YAY! :D
*noms her face*
Haha. That was so funny! Yay! You found someone else who likes you!!!
(I got a FB message today saying that this guy, my friend's ex, was going to ask me out today. So I went over to the guy who sent me the message ( because he has a habit of lying about stuff like this, he did it to one of my friends earlier this year) and said, "Hey, funny message you sent. Absolutely hilarious."
And he denied any knowledge of sending that damned message.)
(Not here...)
I should go now. Bye!
Hello!
~Iggy
Riiiiiight.
I've mentioned that my isn't edible, yeah? No?
Hm.
Alrighty then.
In other words, hi.
~Iggy
My FACE isn't edible! :-|
I swear, my typing and spelling and grammar and all that are getting slowly and slowly worse. :-|
~Iggy
Oh.
I'm not sure what to say to that.
I like my face, though, and would generally prefer if it wasn't consumed, please-thank-you? :-D
Well, I'll do my best not to be boooooring, then. *nods*
~Iggy
*hugs Elleni*
Well, I'm glad my space-y-out-y typing amuses you, at least.
~Iggy
Oh. Bye then!
Have a nice, um, whatever time of day it is!
~Iggy
Testing!
~Iggy
I thought something looked strange!
All better now. :-)
~Iggy
(That awkward moment when you're tricked into licking soap.
Even a tub of Nutella ain't doing anything...)
Hey, anyone one?
(...)
I've licked soap before.
It was fun.
But then, when you've lick about anything you can name, of course soap would be considered fun...
Adra likes licking people . . . :P
Msd, and probably wbd. I'm drawing, but might get dragged downstairs to play Mario Kart . . .
Ooh.
Only about an hour late, Star. XD
STARRR
ARE YOU STILL HEREEEEEEEEE
YES! SORRY! D:
HEY! :)
HELLO
HOW ARE YOU
MY HAIR IS WEIRD AND ASDFGHJKLASDFGUJKLJGSGDUWK
UM
WHAT WAS I SAYING
OH SORRY I KEEP FORGETTING I'M HERE. D:
I'm on email so it covers up the screen, you see . . .
I'M SORRY!
Hair is a weird thing, really. :P
My cat took over my lap and I had my tablet sitting on the table so I couldn't get it DX
@Snow: D:
Annoying. :/ :/
Yesh, but my cat is so cute it can be forgiven. XD
@Snow: XD
Cute things.
They will take over the world. :P
I'm cirtain.
My dad and I have always had a way with animals, cats particularly.
Well, I'm not an animal person, so . . . :P
Hmmm... I wasn't really, but animals have always kind of just... magnetized towards me, so I was forced into being one.
*gravitated, not magnetized. Wrong word
YOU NEVER ANSWERED MY QUESTION
HOW ARE YOU
IF YOU'RE STILL DISTANTLY HERE, I HAVE TO GO
BYE
SORRY! D: GOT DISTRACTED. :/
I'M TERRIBLE I'M SORRY. :/
There's nothing wrong with 'magnetized', I htink . . . :)
I'm fine, thanks.
Sorry!
(So. I manage to complete another project the day before it is due. I am impressed, though I have not been to the toilet in about 12 hours, nor have I eaten anything for dinner... I don't know if I ate anything for lunch. Who cares? One more question to answer before I can finally pee.))
(TIME FOR PEE AND FOOD!! FOOD FIRST THOUGH BECAUSE I WILL DIE OF NOT HAVING FOOD!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!))
(Sorry, I had to share my excitement with you.))
I just read Animal Farm...
And at the end I was just like-
O_o
And Death: Yay! :D
(Animal Farm? Boxer... *Sob*
I know! I'm happy now!! Woo!!))
(There is going to be another war. Ukraine and Russia. Nukes. Plane crashes.
I'm actually really scared...))
@Death: O_O
(We are actually so fucked. Ukraine will start hating in everyone, Russia will try and ally with everyone. People will get killed for this pointless and childish game of war. The environment will suffer, we will actually destroy the bloody world.
I don't know about you, but if war breaks out, I'm killing myself.)
(And I'm just making this clear right now. If Australia decides to go against America or the UK or somewhere else, I'm still being friends with you guys. I need my family by my side. We can all just go to a deserted island and pretend that this is no war or something, okay?)
*hugs Death* Okay. :) :)
And - yeah.
War is stupid . . . -_-
In a war you'd be stupid to side against America, we'd probably destroy you.-Zaf
(I know Zaf. But we have Tony Abbot leading us. He is an arsehole. I hate him. I wish he would die and someone actually smart and nice ad caring would lead us.))
((Good luck then Rose.-Zaf))
(I know. I'm screwed.
Anyone want to take me in for a while? I come self-catering, self-surviving, I can cook, clean, throw up a tent in less than a minute and I don't mind the cold, or the eat all too much. I will make your lives a lot easier because I won't annoy you all too much. All I ask is to live in your backyard.))
*heat
Come to America! You can live with me Rose.-Zaf
You should have let me rule you when you had the chance, you would have been able to avoid this war.
(Sorry, really distant. D:)
I would take you, Death, but I'm not sure my parents would agree. :/
Those who want to rule are the people who shouldn't be allowed to.
My dad says something like that . . .
Also - good people don't make very good rulers . . . because they have to run around all their morals and bad people can just cut straight through all of that and get there quicker, so good people are at a massive disadvantage.
Like Elend in The Final Empire. He invented the first democracy and was determined to do well with all his ideals of freedom and everyone being worth the same, but then his government voted him out and voted an oppressive ruler in. :P
*brand-new fair government, might I add XD
And it seems that the only way to do what's best for the people is not listen to them and just do what you think is best, but then you're being just as bad as an oppressive dictator, aren't you . . . ?
I want to rule the people of Midgard, Thor has done a terrible job protecting you.
Hi everyone *waves*
Oh another Midgardian.
Greetings, Loki of...
Wait, last I checked, you weren't actually from Asgard were you?
No, but I wish to not associate myself with that breed of monsters.
Well, okay then.
Anyway, have you ever heard of Hatsune Miku?
It's embedded itself onto my list of extremely weird things and it took me a whole 2 days for my brain to recover after seeing it/her.
I have not, what is it?
I'm probably not here, but in response to Loki-
If that's what you call Adra, what of your ally, Zafira? Constantly switching husbands and obsessed with several of my names even while she's married with a family, and she has so many children I can't even remember all of their names. That's not only a horrid way to conduct yourself through relationships, but also disturbingly poor leadership skills. How many times has she been told not to have children in the midst of a war, and how many times have they been used against her in war? Both have happened far too often.
Adra's romantic life, though complicated, is quite easy to understand, and perfectly justifiable. On top of that, she is genuinely struggling with her emotions for two people, and she is not even close to romantically involved with anyone she doesn't love.
On top of that- though this does not apply to Adra- men who can win over multiple women are often congratulated by their peers, whereas women in the same situation are often mocked and scolded. The insult, in most of its forms, only exists due to gender prejudice.
Apparently she's Japan's most famous pop star.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1390046227&feature=iv&src_vid=q247Rpa32ao&v=3wfEYVTuFVo
I never said I was allied with Zafira, I am not. I simply have her kneeling before me. She gave me information unwillingly, and I know that she had divorced Javier and found Ravel, which is justifiable. I wouldnot go after my supposed 'allies', when your worthless girl friend acts like a slut, I am surprised she knows how to keep her clothes on.
I question Midgardians at points, I really do.
Well, what a lovely first comment that is. I dedicate the page to Adra being able to come here without being verbally attacked.
She is your ally, Loki- you'd be long dead without her. You shouldn't call people pathetic if you rely on them so heavily.
If you believe Zafira to be weak, why is she still a leader? Your point is invalid.
Zafira: First off, I may like some of your names but then again, its healthy to have a fantasy crush. I am friends with John Smith, what do you care? Secondly, I remarried, thirdly, I was already expecting when war was possible. So don't you think about having a go on that one, you're worthless! People think they should fear you but you're no better then a cat. Niccolò is a better person, broken or normal, you lack the intelligence to see only Adra wants you around because she's blind to your idiotic ideas.
If I allied myself with her, she would know what I am up to, and she does not. I have nothing to do with her, she helps me because she fears me.
Well, this is getting a little awkward...
I guess I'll be leaving then...
You do not have to leave, Alastair is simply trying to egg me on, and believe he has an upper hand in arguements.
Um, okay then...
I guess I'll stay. I don't exactly have anything else to do anyway.
*Lies back and closes*
*Starts humming Hatsune Miku stuff*
*Lies back and closes eyes*
Wow, blogland is quiet.
So empty...
*Voice echoes out over blogland*
Helloooooo?
Anyone hereeeeeeee?
*Sits atop a mountain and stares out into the distance*
Sorry. Been drawing. :P
*Hugs Alastair tightly*
Hi Star *waves*
Hear, hear, Alastair.
How is Alastair right? Stupid Midgardians.
People are here!
Finally... *Breathes sigh of relief*
@Loki: How is Alastair NOT correct?
Unless I see a logical reason for his logical arguments NOT to be correct, I'll carry on thinking he was, because I am a logical, reasonable person.
*waves to Fabi, Sykamere and Zaf (through Loki) :)*
Star, have you heard of Hatsune Miku?
*and Adra :)
@Sykamere: No, sorry. :( I'm socially out of touch though. I haven't heard of anyone. :P
I learnt about it 3 days ago and it took me 2 of those days to put my brain back together, but yeah.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1390046227&feature=iv&src_vid=q247Rpa32ao&v=3wfEYVTuFVo
He's wrong, and he will always be wrong.
@Loki: And that's a reasoned, logical argument HOW?
I can say that the sky is green. That doesn't make it true. You can say that Alastair is wrong. Yeah. Persuasion, where?
Omg I can't think straight. My dad is vacuming the car, and the township is making noise doing god knows what outside, I can't flipping hear.-Zaf
Zafira, what would you do if I killed myself? If your bullying actually pushed me that far? I mean, I've harmed myself before, because of the dehumanising things that you've said. But honestly, what would you do? Feel remorse? Be happy? I mean, you've certainly said on multiple occasions that you wish that I would die. Would you be the victim, as always? Or would you finally grow up and quit hiding behind other names, and quit hurting others?
