(I dedicate to sleep. I have missed you. I will never mistreat you ever again. I swear!!))
Zanida: Death! What happened to you?
Wah?!
*begins to look faint*
But... but...
*looks around at the other people in Blogland*
Is anybody going to revive her? We just brought her back from the salt water and now this?!
Zafira: Well I plan to, I just need her body.
And where's her body?
I'm sorry Dugglyn. If its any constellation Zafira plans to do something. And at least if she was asleep she won't have felt it. Her body washed up on shore. The police are currently dealing with it. The location of her head however is...unknown.
This unit has no magical abilities. We are unable to resurrect her.
Death? *It spits the word* How could one think that I was her! Ugh! *It shudders* There was a brief power overload and a minor struggle for power. Of course, the strongest won. *It grins, curtsies, and looks up* Slīvœrrsę, at your service.
*puts her hand over her mouth*
The location of her head is.../unknown/!
(Brb. I think..)
Zanida: Silverrose, let Death Rose out.
*It pauses for a moment*
No.
This unit recommends you cooperate. We have a weapon capable of firing gravitational singularities. Organics would refer to these as black holes.
(Kk then Dugglyn)
Yes. Unknown. Possibly in possession of the beaheder. Possibly in the sea. It's where abouts are not known.
Zanida: Yes. You're a true name unsealed, you will obey me!
I would, master, if I could. But, let's just say, Death Rose has decided that being a dead entity in someone's mind is easier.
Zanida: I never will understand true names! Why are you even out?
As I said, it was a struggle of power between myself, and Judhipor, and I was the strongest. We knocked that pathetic weakling aside and this is what happened.
I am going to spill blood. That is what I crave.
Zanida: Well you sure aren't spilling mine.
Or mine for that matter, take the Midgardians.
((*facepalm* I just screen shot step by step intructions for my friend to put an Emoji keyboard on her iPhone...-Zaffy))
Um... It's speech, even in "American-ish." If anyone says speach, it's a typo or they're not good at spelling.
This unit does not recommend following of Asgard-Loki's advice.
Statistically speaking, dispensing of a being which could be considered a deity would be the most logical approach to take for a successful attack.
*It turns, its fists clenching as it faces Loki* Oh, how I did miss you. *Her voice is thick with sarcasm*
@Lantern: I KNEW 'SPEACH' WASN'T A WORD
That makes sense. :)
(*Disposing. Damn you google.)
(Fabi, then it seems like 99% of the Americans I've met have bad spelling. :P)
Zanida: I'm waiting for him to call you Laufeyson- Loki.
As I wait for him to call you Laufeydottir- Zanida.
*As in, an I KNEW IT kinda thing, that kind of effect
You know me not, Midgardian.
@Dragona: Where do you meet these Americans?
Because the majority of the Americans I've met('met'?) on YouTube don't have the best grammar.
But the majority of the Americans I've met here are good at both grammar and spelling.
*It stands up taller, not nearly matching Loki's height, before it starts to float up into the air* I do really wish that you were slaughtered right this moment, Camouflage Smurf.
This unit has now changed files regarding the organics now known as Laufeyson-Loki and Laufeydottir-Zanida. We apologise if we were using designations that did not appeal.
(Star - most of the Americans I've met are generally on different forums or other. Mainly the Mass Effect one. And yeah, that's what I don't understand - the people in Blogland are the only grammatically accurate Americans I have ever met.)
*laughs at the Camouflage Smurf part* *coughs to cover it up*
Zafira will you require assisstance in your plan?
@Dragona: *adds to analogy* Most of the English people I'm met('met'?) on YouTube have awful grammar too.
*I've
*sighs* You never will learn, Geth, will you?
Zanida: Nope! Dumb computerised thing.
Zafira: Uhm yeah probably
I shall help you if you require it. And if you would like.
*tilts head*
We are not organic. We have no concept of selfishness, secrets, self-harm, destruction of nature or civil war.
Specify why you would consider this unit "dumb" in comparison with the condition that plagues all organic species.
Zafira: Uhm sure...I need the body.
Zanida: I'm a bit...woah okay.
*grabs Zanida and vanishes*
*the Midnight Hotel blossoms up from the ground*
*finishes typing*
Ah, how lovely. All pre-ordered.
I belive the body is currently in the morgue, near the police station.
Zafira: Then lets go to the morgue.
This unit believes it would be acceptable in organic humour to say, "How cheerful.".
*nods* very well. I warn you though the sight may not be a pretty one.
*sets off walking towards the village that exists at the edge of the forest further down the coast*
We do not understand why organics consider morgues in a negative manner.
Zafira: *follows
*trends carefully so as not to trip, hes not thepst graceful*
~~~~~~time warp~~~~~~~
*there are many police officers surrounding the morgue, not allowing anyone access*
We are here.
**the most
*looks at the police officers*
This unit has a flamethrower.
Zafira: This unit can shadow-walk *shadow-walks inside the morgue*
Your information is incorrect. Organics cannot be considered units.
We consist of one thousand, one hundred and eighty three Geth programmes in a single platform. We are a unit.
Organics contain one programme. They are not a unit.
Officers: Excuse me! Where did she go?! What just..*reaches for his radio looking panicked*
Calm down sir. Its okay. You saw nothing. You've had a long day today. To much work. Your seeing things.
Officer: It has been a long day.. *looks uncertain*
Zafira: *looks around for Silente's headless body* Where can they put a headless vamps corpse? *can feel my necklace writh with shadows, and my heart race with the amount of death in the morgue*
*It looks around Blogland, grinning. It's deserted. Nothing really to influence its first experiment. It raises itself higher and curls into a ball, bottling up its magic. With a roar, it lets it out, taking off all the leaves from the surrounding trees*
Zanida: What the actual hell?
((You can go after Zan if yo want...or Alexis.-Zaffy))
-here are many draws and even more officers inside. The amount of officers increases the closer you get to the room containing the headless corpse. Forensics are still searching it for evidence. A few scientists have also been called in, the forensics thought that the body was deformed and wanted to know if it was natural. Then scientists are rather confused. The anatomy seems slightly different to a regular humans. The corpse itself is on a table. It's not a pretty sight. The neck is jaggered, the flesh and bone mist have taken numerous hits-
Zafira: *sighs and makes an air bubble for herself, and goes into the room and robs everyone of oxygen but herself*
(Sorry... I'm distant... Attempting this horrible thing called sleep....))
((Tis fine, try Rose. You did an all nighter. -Zaffy))
*the people in the room panic and eventually fall unconscious from oxygen deprivation* *one or two lay on the limp, lifeless body*
Zafira: *moves the bodies, and picks up Silente's, then uses teleporting bracelet to teleport back to Blogland*
((They'll wake once Zaf left, and they couldn't see her face, she wore Necromancer robes.-Zaf))
*the officer wake up slowly and panic*
*here's noises from inside and sighs* *sounds like she wasn't subtle about getting Silente* *gets ready for a long night of convincing people they didn't see what they saw*
Zafira: *walks back to her treehouse and works on very complicated sigils, that should bring any dead being back, and pours energy into them, draining self of most of my energy* Work....please....
*the body begins twitching and jerking, despite not having a head*
*random spasms rip through its muscles*
Zafira: *touches the sigil to regenerate body parts, yes Zaf found one god knows why, and pours energy into that one before falling to the ground, alive but very weak*
*watches, and grins* Now to reclaim what was stolen.
Hello fellow Midgardians! And Loki.,
*the head, rather weirdly, starts growing. Much like with a foetus. Only on a fully grown vampire. Well on a 12 year old*
*jerks and twitches still*
*head finished regrowing*
*blinks*
Hello, Silente.
((I THINK i have to go eat guys...-Zaffy))
(Kk if you do then Zaf.)
*lays flat on her back, blinking*
*croaks out* why does it feel like I was dead a second ago?
*coughs*
(Also Hey...Jeb. Can I call you Jeb.)
Zafira: You were...
I CAN'T EVEN
DEREK WHY DID YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE SIGNING IN CORK ON SUNDAY MAM DOESN'T WANT TO BRING ME BC OF THE MUNSTER FINAL AND TRAFFIC :((((((((((((
amazing cover though good lord
I can smash that window
I'll break that door
You never see me anymore!
I will smash your face into a plate!
For years I've fought all in these halls
Why do you think there were no balls?
Finally I will no longer wait!
I've been through countless people
But beating them was just strange
Wow is your face going to change!
Cause for the first time in forever
I'll beat you in a fight!
For the first time in forever.
You'll be on your back tonight!
And i know that I'm elated not gassy
And I'm way out of her zone!
For the first time in forever!
She'll regret leaving me alone
(I can wait tk beat her! What if I never meet her..)
Tonight imagine me knife and all
Leaning calmly against the wall
While Elsa panics and loses her grace!
Oh but she finally sees me standing there.
She's grabs a weapon, no a chair!
All I wanna do is smash her face!
But then she'll laugh and says its over
Which us totally bizarre
Cause hell she's never gonna get that far!
Cause for the first time in forever
There be violence, she will fall
For the first time in forever
I will get revenge on someone!
And I know that your slightly crazy,
But verses me you stand no chance!
And for the first time in forever.
I hit you with a lance.
Don't let her in
Don't let her see
How ripped and strong, I do truely be
Conceal
She'll feel
My evil wrath!
Make one wrong move and my strength will just grow
And its only for today
(Its only for today)
Her agony won't wait
(Her agony won't wait)
Tell the guards to get all the bets placed!
(bets placed!)
Cause for the first time in forever
(Don't let her in don't let her see)
I'll beat her like I have dreamed
(How ripped and strong, I truly do be)
A chance to save my lonely world
(conceal)
A chance to call her bluff!
(conceal, conceal she'll feel my evil wrath!)
And i know its over tomorrow,
So i should enjoy. today
And for the first the in forever
For the first time in forever!
That door wont be in the waaaaaay!
(Hehehe... Whoops!)
I...what? No I wasn't. I was asleep. In my treehouse.
*looks around*
Which has apparenly turned into somewhere else...
Zafira: You were
*walks over to Zafira*
Oh...thanks. For, uh bringing me back..
*watches Loki*
*shifts to a sitting position*
You want help up?
Zafira: You should leave me be, I weakened myself for a bit.
*is standing over Zafira, and touches sceptre to her heart*
Zafira: No!! *isnt fast enough*
*is fast enough*
*dives in front if the scepter as soon as it moves*
*it doesn't work on Silente* That, was not what I expected.
((You understand why, correct?-Loki))
(Not even remotely. Is it because I'm dead?)
*glares at him*
Leave. Zaf. Alone.
I suggest leaving, Silente.
((You must have a heart, your heart does not beat. Yes, you have one, but you're dead. -Loki))
And I suggest that you leave Loki. I won't let you hurt my friend.
*shields Zaf's body with mine*
*vanishes*
Zafira: Thank you!
*still on edge and waiting*
You're welcome...you shouldn't have wasted so much energy. Not that I'm not thankful to you for bringing me back but..next time think about keeping the living alive first and foremost. And under their own control...
Zafira: *shrugs* I care for you
*smiles at her*
You care too much. Care for better things Zaf
Zafira: Eh I care, and it won't stop.
Okay.
*smiles slightly*
Just remember there are better things to care for...
Which may seem unlikely, what with me being as awesome as I am.
*winks*
Zafira: *laughs* Don't go too egoistic on me. *hugs*
*stiffens*
*sighs and hugs back, rolling her eyes*
Please. I'm hardly ever seriously egoistic! I save that for people who need or deserve it.
Oh my God.
That cover art is brilliant.
Thank you, Mr Percival. Thank you. C:
Zafira: Well-
Zanida: You'll want it, for your friend's death.
*looks at Zanida*
I'm sorry friends death?
Zanida: The one on the ground!
Zafira: Hell no!!! *gets up*
*gets up too*
What the hell have you done now?!
(Bah i should go. Soz. Night :/)
((Nighty night-Zaffy
Hello?

((Ah sorry I caught the end of Thor so...you know epic battle was happening I got distracted-Zaffy

Please ignore the start. It wasn't filming when I thought it was.
That was awesome, Snow! :D
I literally grinned like a madman at the start because, well, it was worth grinning at. :)
And Zaf:
Sorry! I had to poof because food called. :(
That was great Snow! You have a nice voice!!!

(My brain says that it is angry with me.))
When your brain says it is angry with you, kick it hard and remind it that you are in charge of your brain. Of course, this probably doesn't make sense because if your brain is mad at you then it wouldn't let you kick it, it probably wouldn't even let you think of doing that because it is in charge of you but then again you are in charge of your brain but then again, this doesn't make sense!
Death, you can:
a) tell that part of your brain to shut up
b) if it's angry with you for something you can fix, fix it. I mean, it's your brain. You need to keep on its good side so that it functions properly. At least, that's what I try to do.
c) ignore my horrible advice XD
I just looked back on b) and I realised I'm referring to my brain in the third person... XD
Yes it is Brilliant.
Yes it is OMINOUS.
How do we get it?
I watched the lego movie earlier.
And I just made fried rice for diner.
:)
I feel really sick. Really, really bad. I don't want to move, coz if I do, I think I'm going to throw up.
Death:
Is there anybody else with you? You could tell them... Yell out or something.
Siblings all plugged into various devices. I'm going to call one of my friends. He might be able to help...
Okay.
And you're sure your siblings won't listen?
Gotta poof, bye. :)
I hope you feel better soon...
Little brother came in, talking about minecraft, then swamy face and got me a bucket. That boy is a god send.
:)
*hugs*
*realizes that I don't really know you all that well*
*...*
*poofs because swimming*
Aaand, I just threw up my dinner.
Pizza doesn't taste great coming up a second time. Believe me.
*Hugs Emerald back and agrees with the thought*))
That sucks death. :/
Totally just ordered it. Gonna bring that awesomeness to Australia! Thank the lord that Waterstones delivers internationally!

Why do people keep saying my singing is good when it sounds like bricks being run over
(That's life, kiddo, I sing like a drowning seal and everyone thinks it's great. Stupid life...))
*It looks around, pursing its lips. It's only a matter of time. It has everything in place. It's just waiting for a spark, something to give her the motivation*
I am the only person in my family who is not sick right now. And I say that's because, when I first got sick, I stayed home and got over it. Where as they "pushed through" and continued with work and school.
I just finished a really hard Classics essay and so I picked up my phone and then my friend wants me to write a 15 question quiz on Star Wars, and yes, I've watched the movies but it was like 3 years ago, and I don't want to just ask stupid questions like is Yoda yellow, green or pink, because that's stupid, and so then I was like, I know I'll just not do the quiz today and do it tomorrow because, "Why do today what can be put of till tomorrow" my mum taught me that. But anyways it's the holidays and I don't want to go see my friends again, because they always want to go shopping and try on dresses and I'm just like, let me wear shorts and polos, no, I don't care that it's winter, I will not wear a jumper.
And then in 5 days I have to go on an excursion for Latin, and then the day after I need to go to a Latin class (even though it is school holidays still), and I don't want to do Latin because I want to use my electives to do I.T game design but mum says that I don't know what I want because I'm still in year 8 and if she had her time again she would have chosen a more educational path, but I want to be a game designer. And then one of my dad's business partners came around yesterday and he said 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' And I said I wanted to be a game programmer/designer and work in I.T and then mum says, 'but you're also considering medical science right? And I was like no, and then she gives me this look and I said, 'It's always going to be a possibility' and then I went to my room.
And then I finished Armageddon Outta Here and I have nothing to read, except I do, I have to read Delirium and The Forgotten Pearl for different school related things and I don't want to because they don't sound like they have anything even close to a skeleton detective or even a walking reflection, so they aren't looking very appealing to me.
And then I used to do all my homework on time and I would have things done the week before they were due. I even watched this video of an 8 year old me and she said, " It was raining outside so I couldn't do anything fun outside so I decided to have fun inside, and instead of doing the science experiment I wanted to I played mathletics, did a spelling quiz and practiced piano." But now I leave things to the last minute and it's the holidays and the school still gave us homework and I know it's supposed to prepare us for life but I don't want to be prepared for life.
On top of all this people keep asking if I have a crush on someone, and I do, but I'm confused and I know I like a boy, but then there is this other boy...and it becomes the whole Caelan vs Fletcher scenario, bad boy or nice boy...and I am nowhere in the position to ask either of them but why would people care if I did like one of them and then people are starting to kiss each other in public and it's just gross and I just want things to go back to how they were in year 4.
Finally, this girl who was my friend started going out with a guy, and she started hanging out with his friends and then to my face she openly admitted to the girl next to her that in year 9,' you, girl2, girl3 and I are going to be the awesome foursome' and I just stood there like, 'yay me, I don't even exist anymore, thank you friend, that was really nice of you.'
I don't know why I said all this but I've held it down for two weeks now and I just needed to say it. You know the feeling right, where you just need to let it all out.
*hugs Veronica tightly*
Yeah, you don't know me and you've probably gone by now, but . . .
Yeah.
You can let it out as often as you want. :) That's partially what Blogland's here for.
AN HOUR AND FITHTEEN MINUTES UNTIL THE EXCITING EMAIL THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S ABOUT!!!!!!!!
YIPEEEEE!!!!
And for the record, I leave everything until last minute and I haven't died yet, so I must be doing okay.
Also, children are a lot better at doing stuff.
Also, I'm not particularly fond of shopping.
Also, friendship is odd, and I was friends with people I didn't even particularly like and they didn't even particularly like me for years, so if I was in year eight now, I would have been friends with them for the past four years and not have had any other friends, which is really, really sad, but eventually, you discover people who you DO get on really well with, you just kind of have to wait until those people pop up and then hang onto them. :P
And for the record, being a game designer sounds like a prospective career to me, and if you do what you want you'll probably be more successful than if you just do what you think other people would want (I could rant about that, but I don't think anyone wants to hear it), so, yeah, you go on and be a game designer. :)
@Duck: OH?
IS IT????????
*looks at inbox*
Hi! :)
*hugs Veronica*
Well done on finishing the essay. I've never had to do an essay and I'm in a higher year than you. So well done, your awesome.
Yoda is green. Everyone knows that. Even people who haven't seen Star Wars.
Don't do anything you don't want to do. Unless of course its considered important. By your standards.
See if maybe your friends can be flexible and not shoe shop or whatever it is girly girls do. (as you might be able to guess, I don't get why they impulsively shop for clothes. Or shoes. Just..no.) I mean, surely they can do something else for once.
Give the school books a chance. I know most of them are sheet but occasionally you'll find a good one.
Yuck homework. Just make sure you get it done at some point. It doesn't have to be now. It can be whenever, so long as it gets done. Try doing it late at night, that seems to be the best time for me.
Ah the relationships. I remember that. Don't be afraid to make a rash decision, its year 8. Rash decisions happen. Just DON'T say anything stupid about sexual orientation. You will be punish forever. No joke. Happened to a friend.
Friends drift apart. And also have a tendancy to turn dumb in relationships. I think its because they're having to share half their brain with the partner. They lose sight. Love is blind, and idiotic.
Actually for the boy problem. If any of the boys seem flawless to you, or not flawless but their flaws just...aren't flaws in your eyes but quirks, that's the one you should be thinking of.
And I can explain why you said all that. You needed to say it. Your brain was too full, to clogged up with all this. Don't hold it in when you have somewhere you can pour it out. :)
Wbd, I think. I was just dropping in between non-productive activities. :P
I had a dream last night, and in this dream, I finally understood why people would want to repeatedly buy tons of different clothes that they don't even need, and it was kind of an "OHHHH I GET IT NOW" moment, and now I'm awake I'm looking back on that realisation like "Eh?" and I realise I STILL don't get it. :P
@Silente: Oh my gosh. :O Your response was about 100000000 times better than mine.
*hugs*
You're awesome. :)
*reads response and nods, logging some key features in my head*
*has been distantly lurking all day*
*except when she got on the bus*
*she wasn't lurking then*
*or she'd have replied to Veronica quicker*
*but other than that has been distantly lurking all day*
Your awesomer Star. And not just because your a warrior bubble but also as a person.
And now i will brb because I feel dizzy and my throats all weird which means I've forgotten to have a drink....again
Also - have you not had to do an essay, Silente?
We were doing essays for every assessment in year nine . . .
I was good at essays in year nine.
Then I got to year ten and my teacher told me not to ramble off and to stick firmly to the structure. I mean, I arrived in my first lesson and he had us putting the point, evidence and explanation into boxes in a table and it freaked me out so much because I was just like "You can't do it like that. It doesn't FLOW if you do it like that, and then you can't do all this magic flowy linky connecty stuff".
And then I spent the entire year trying to write paragraphs with sticking to structure and it would freak me out so much and I was just like "I can't do this. I can't do this. My lava isn't flowing because I keep stopping it at the traffic lights so it can't go anywhere but if I let it flow, it rambles off the road so we're just stuck HELP."
And then for this recent assessment, he told us we should begin to abandon our structure because we would probably get more marks if we did without it.
WELL.
-_-
Thanks, Sir.
So I just did my recent assessment how I wanted to write it, and it was good, and I could write essays again like I could in year nine (although not GOOD essays, of course), and I actually still have fifteen minutes of the assessment left, but anyway, when I do that and it gets marked, I will tell you what I got, and maybe I'll get a C and I'll have to resit it like "Oh", but if I get an A*, I am going to be SO ANGRY I swear. :P
(Um . . . rambled off there.)
Anyway. Essays. I can't write them WELL, but at least I can write an essay in less than twenty hours now, so that's something. :)
@Silente: Oh . . . :/ :/
When I was little I was really bad at drinking regularly . . . like, when I was about two or three, I wouldn't drink anything except chocolate milk (Chocomel!) and my parents took me to the doctors about it, and the doctor, being Swiss, said "Well, if she won't drink anything except Chocomel, give her loads of Chocomel."
:P
So most of my life people have forced me to have a drink with every meal, and I think that really works, because then you get enough to drink in a day, so I would advise drinking whenever you eat something. Also, if you drink whilst eating, it isn't so hard to drink, either.
Also - no, you're awesomer than me, Silente. :) And I can honestly say that.
Well...not really. We have assessments. But they aren't really that long. Most people it would hardly reach one side of an A4 page in the end. Although my generally tend to be rather long...
...but then again I have big hand writing....
...ugh. Blue curtains. I hate analyzing.Just thinking about it annoys me. AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS BLUE CURTAINS THAT ARE USED AS AN EXAMPLE?!
I'm really not Star. I can say in all honesty and truth that I'm not.
OMG TOUR DE FRANCE STOP BLOOMIN GOING ON ABOUT YORKSHIRES DRY STONE WALLS THAT'S EVERYTIME SO FAR I'VE BOTHER LISTENING YOU'VE BEEN GOING ON ABOUY DRY STONE WALLS!
Ah, okay . . . in year nine, most of our assessments were an hour . . .
I have small indecipherable handwriting . . . it was so messy that I changed it to make it all fancy, and then no one could read it so I had, like, complaints from three teachers in one week, so I changed it back again, and then STILL no one could read it, so now I give up . . .
(It's actually a mixture between the two now. Normally it's kind of vertical like it was originally, but when I write for longer than a few minutes, it slants onto the side a bit and is a lot more even, too. Also, I have all my tails at the beginning of words that I developed when I was doing fancy handwriting.)
See, I love analysis . . . you know me. :/
Blue curtains, though. -_- Yeah. That's rubbishy and frustrating and annoying. :P
My English teacher - we did Of Mice and Men with her last year, and we had to analyse the implications of Curly's wife's red dress, and our teacher told us that the first year she taught that lesson, she was, by coincidence, wearing a bright red dress and it was really embarrassing . . . XD
@Silente: Ah, that . . .
We watched the beginning. It was boring. My mum, who is really pro-Yorkshire, moaned about them not knowing how to pronounce 'Harewood House', because apparently that's really fundamental. And then she was complaining about the poor commentary and camerawork. And then we kind of drifted back upstairs again. :P
Well, I can say in all honesty and truth that you ARE. *nods firmly*
What year will you be in in September star?
Yeah you do love analysis. And I suppose its not that bad but when you're forced to analyse something for an hour that took you 10 minutes its hell. I'll happily analyse outside of school with stuff I want to analyse but analyzing what blue curtains mean...for an hour....
No. Just no.
It means the curtains were blue.
It's to make the room seem cold and alone.
It's to make it seem sad.
It's to give a lonely edge to the scene and make it seem sad and cold.
Depending on the context it can mean more
I don't need an hour talking about the implications
OF BLUE BLOOMIN CURTAINS!
My sisters watching it for some reason.
Well I can say in all honesty, truth and in NO modesty that I'm not. However you are.
@Silente: Year eleven! :O
I mean, if I was twenty days older I would be in year twelve, but I'm glad I'm not because I'm quite young for my age anyway. :P
OH MY GOSH I HAVE A TINY LITTLE BABY /MINI/ BLACKCURRENT AND APPLE FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :O
Number one - APPLE AND BLACKCURRENT FAB.
Number two - MINI fab awwwwwwwww it's so SWEET! :O
sorry
And - -_-. Yeah, that does sound like hell . . . D:
I think you're justified in being frustrated about that. :P
Eh . . . you're definitely more awesome than me. :P
Oh your only a year above me! Good luck in year 11! You'll do great I hope!
AWWW MINI FAB! AND BLACKBERRY AND APPLE! AWWW!
Yup! :)
And - eh . . . possibly not. :P At least I have 60% of my languages GCSEs already done, though!
I KNOWWWWWWWWWWWW! :O
If I was Geth i'd reply by saying 'this unit believes Inkbright-Star requires repairs.
As it is I'm saying, Nuh huh! Chew more awesome Dan meeeeee!
Ugh. Languages. I regret taking French already. Memorizing. Yeeeey. Not.
I still haven't been able to find any blackcurrant and apple ones!
*laughs* XD
I love Geth . . .
AS IT IS I'M SAYING
Silente, you are as awesome as a tiny little blackcurrant and apple fab.
*nods firmly*
I have given you the greatest compliment you could ever hope to receive. :P
(My friend C worked out one day that height = awesomeness, too. Because C's tall, and our friend B is short, so she was like THAT'S WHY SHE'S SO AWESOME. And apparently I'm awesome too, but I'm in disguise (because I'm a bubble) so my height isn't my true height, and G is tall but she doesn't know who Jeff is and Jeff is the meaning of life so G's life has no meaning.
I mean, this logic is flawed because C's tall and she's awesome, but my point is, YOU BABY FABS ARE SHORT AND THEREORE AWESOME PLUS THEY'RE AWESOME BECAUSE BLACKCURRANT AND APPLE FABS SO YAH.)
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IT HAS A TINY BABY LOLLYSTICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O :O
@Silente: I don't mind memorising . . . and I don't regret taking French.
But I regret taking German.
Because I don't learn anything.
I'm getting Cs in German and As in French and THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING.
And you are as awesome as two more baby apple and blackcurrant fabs.
As awesome as some who demand awe.
As awesome as Jeff.
Awrsomer than Jimbob the 1st was.... Rip Jimbob the 1st. May he rest in piece. And may Jimbob the 4th thrive!
Bad German teacher by any chance?
French is okay...
German goes better with the Hudderfield accent though.
. . . Jimbob? :P
Uh, no . . .
I'm as awesome as an ordinary strawberry fab!
I love ordinary strawberry fabs!
They're awesome!
So I'm complimenting myself SEE?
#immodesty
*nods*
You're just a tiny baby blackcurrent and apple fab.
And you that is, like - woah, awesomeness explosion. :)
Also, I can't be as awesome as Jeff. Jeff is the meaning of life. :P
AWFUL GERMAN TEACHER
I actually like her/feel sorry for her as a person . . . :/
She has two GCSE German classes, and one of them is going to get another teacher next year but we're keeping her, and they were all sat there in maths going "I'm so happy we don't have that teacher any more!" and I'm just like "-_- STOP RUBBING IT IN."
:P
I like French nowadays . . .
That might change next year though. Constant reading and listening exercises, I think we'll get. Ugh. Hate them. :/
Hi, guys.
I can't sleep.
My body wants to sleep. My brain's awake. XD
And has anybody watched the DW episode Foresr of the Dead? I did today and the veiled lady's face is creepy as heck.
At least, the first time round.
I don't think so, Fay . . .
Hi!!! :)
Possibly get up and then go back to bed again? Or possibly make up a story in your head.
That's what I do.
Dunno if it works.
Jimbob the first
Jimbob the second (we don't talk about Jimbob the second. Although I drew him in my friends English book once and the teacher just smiled and ignored it)
Jimbob the third
And Jimbob the fourth.
They all have their own stories.
One overlaps with Fred. Poor Fred...
They
@Silente: Well.
That sounds cool. :) :) :)
Thanks, Star. :)
It usually works for me, actually. I'm just not sure it would help because it (the story) would start off all nice and simple and then, because I am a me, I would I have to think of plot twists and who's gonna die first, and all of that would simulate my brain and I'm trying to calm it down.
Again, I'm talking about my brain in the third person. XD
Should I be worried?
I'll worry about it tomorrow.
Wsd.
I had such high hopes for Jimbob the third. Alas it wasn't to be.
Here's a vague summary.
Jimbob the first was a nice lad. An orphan. He because my sidekick! He was sweet and had a slight sweeting fringe and scruffy hair. But unfortunately he died in a car crash. Rip Jimbob the first.
Jimbob the second... I won't say any more than he went crazy.
Jimbob the third was fourteen. He had Brown hair and chubby cheeks. He was also a sweet boy. He unfortunatly ate Fred. So I had to get rid of them. He's still on the run from the police.
Jimbob the fourth is my current Jimbob. He has black hair. And freckles. I don't know Mich about him yet...
@Em: See, I tend to think up different stories when I'm walking around school to when I'm going to sleep . . . they tend to be more calm and peaceful and focused on emotion when I'm going to sleep . . .
I talk about my brain in first person. I have people in my brain who complain about my brain to me in third person. :P I think I should be more worried.
@Silente: Oh gosh. XD
That's ace. :) :) :)
And then then next day I'm in school and I'm like "Okay, where did I get to in my story in my head?" and then I just look at it like WHAT EVEN.
:P
I've been trying to analyse how I make up stories in my head, but if I'm observing how I do it I'm not actually DOING it, so it's rather hard.
I don't know when all this was decided but I have the Jimbobs, Fred, Bob, Billy, Bobette and....Sam I think. Yeah.
As well as Manuel.
And James and Silente. But James and Silente (and occasionally Manuel) are different. They have rich back stories and I know stuff about them and they hardly ever shut up and they have a habbit of randomly seizing control of my typing. They also have a tendancy to come up with random events that 'WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT JAI OR WE WILL BE ANNOYING!' In their words. *sigh* they can be pains.
:/
See, my brain is really one-track, so my characters aren't there unless I'm thinking about them.
And if they are there, I'M barely there. :P
So . . . yeah.
I do lose the knack of my characters a bit if I don't think about them enough, though.
Also, when my characters want to roleplay, I generally wreck it by being distracted so then they get left behind . . .
And sometimes I'm just like "Eh. Don't feel like roleplaying. Sorry."
And then people wonder why they get annoyed at me . . . :P
Haha oh it must be nice sometimes to have a one track brain. No constant noise. Or extra emotions. Or what not.
DEREK I NEED A GODDAMN TIMEZONE
I don't get the choice most of the time. I don't mind though. I love my characters. Seeing James constantly trying to do Silente in is amusing to put it at the least...
Actually Silente has a plan now..
That should be fun too.
Whoa this is completely the wrong account
THE EMAIL IS HERE!!!!!!!
HE MEANS 4 O'CLOCK ISH GMT! SO ANYTIME NOW!
Derek...why..why do you have to make it the 27th??
WHY SO EXPENSIVE ALSO
Woah.
Online operative....
*nods*
Okay...
HAHAHA
MY PARENTS ARE FAB
I MIGHT GET TO GO IN SEPTEMBER OH MY GOD YEEEEEEES
Ah good, I can use the internet to be part of it.
Or I could travel to Ireland...... which is very unlikely.
Hey Sparky!!! :) Haven't seen you in a while. :)
Hi Duck! I only just saw you. :P But hi.
Hi Requiem!
- no comment -
@Silente: Yeah.
My emotions are intense but short-lasting. :P
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to having a one-track mind. I mean, I must miss out on so much stuff I could be thinking about . . .
Prisoner 270914 has escaped, and we need YOU to track him down.
Eight weeks ago, Tyren Lament and others freed the sorcerer Argeddion from his prison. As you are undoubtedly aware, Argeddion was stopped shortly afterwards, thanks to the sterling efforts of Detectives Pleasant and Cain.
What you will not be aware of is that the serial killer Silas Nadir, Prisoner 270914, was amongst those who escaped in the confusion.
Which is why we need you.
Our forces are stretched thin. With tensions mounting between the Sanctuaries, we can little afford to divert our seasoned sorcerers to this manhunt. We realise that none of you have completed your training, but in agreeing to help us stop Nadir, you will be granted temporary Operative status.
For those Operatives who are stationed elsewhere, and for those Operatives from other Sanctuaries who wish to help, your assistance will be invaluable. You will, of course, need access to the Internet from which you can solve puzzles and guide the Operatives on the ground. As Online Operatives, you will be an essential part of this operation, and we cannot succeed without you.
At a cost of 60 euros, 200 Operatives who can make it to Dublin for September 27th, 2014, will receive elite training (and well-deserved souvenirs of battle) in order to take part in the physical investigation – a 2.5 hour adventure.
A further 50 PLACES will be awarded through competitive initiatives so any Operative who is able to get themselves to Dublin is advised to lookout for details of how they can secure such a place.
Beware — this investigation will require you to traverse the streets of Dublin, spiritual home of the Irish Sanctuary, under the watchful eye of seasoned sorcerers, searching for clues and battling unknown enemies.
Once the investigation is over — and ALL Operatives emerge triumphant — they will be rewarded with a brand new story delivered on the day.
The recruiting office opens on Wednesday the 9th of July at 4PM: theatreofshadows.ie
One thing I feel I should mention. Tracking Silas Nadir will not be easy. We have already sent two of our best detectives to bring him in, and this forms our second objective.
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have gone missing.
We need you to find them.
Yours in magic,
Grand Mage Erskine Ravel

I am sad.
Very sad.
People are appearing. Oh my.
Yey even people who can't get there are involved! Not sure if I'm that good at puzzles but yey!
