Ladies and gentlemen, for those who haven't heard, head over to the Waterstones site for a very special special edition announcement...
http://www.waterstones.com/blog/2014/08/the-dying-of-the-light-black-edition/#more-59340
This is something I've had in mind for years — a super supreme limited edition of only 1000 copies— the Black Edition. Those lucky few who have managed to get your hands on a proof copy of the first book should recognise the design we're echoing, bringing the whole thing full circle...
We're working with Waterstones on this, and so the Black Edition will only be available in their shops. You won't be able to preorder these. You won't be able to reserve one online or in person. Not even Waterstones STAFF can preorder these for THEMSELVES! On the day of publication, they will be put on the SHELVES — not on a table, not in the store window, not on a table out in front, but on the SHELVES. So you'll have to go hunting for them.
We already have 5000 copies of a Special Edition that comes signed, with that stunning cover, but the Black Edition will NOT be signed, and there will be a ONE PER PERSON policy. Basically, we're torturing you. We're making you choose.
The fact is, because there will only be 1000 printed, and so each store will only get a limited amount of copies, the chances of YOU, individual Minion, managing to snag one is pretty low. Because there is no way to guarantee that you get one, you're just going to have to be EXTREMELY lucky. Oh, and you should also check Twitter that day, because the stores will be tweeting how many copies they've got left. Until they tweet, there is no way of telling how many copies a particular store will have received.
Ooooh I can't wait to get mine....

«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4555 Newer› Newest»It's fine, Death. :) I am the Master of Disappearances. Well. Not really. But I rank highly in the disappearance hierarcy. :)
@Kes: . . .
Thanks? :P But seriously, words don't like me. XD
Hey Em! :)
WOW SO MANY PEOPLE
Hey, Em! How are you :)
I DON'T need to talk though. I took this name for a reason, for a good reason. I took the name cause even when inside I'm going to the shits I made it my rule not to talk, not to let it show. Because even when, to use a metaphor I've used before 'even when I'm lost in a tempest of emotion and pain and even when I feel lost' I stay quiet. That's who I am. So...im going to go now. I'll be back later when ive learnt to shut up.
Hey Em!!
*Cuddles*
I just thought that I'd tell you this, because I haven't told you this in a while:
1. You're amazing
2. You're beautiful
3. I love you.
Okay, Silente. But you can always talk to us when you need to, whatever you tell yourself. :/
Pwease don't go *lowers wolf ears and makes puppyeyes*
*hugs Death*
Right back at you sister.
and hello everyone else.
Hello Emerald!
Hey Em

Hope u feel happy soon Sil
(Wb Dragona!)
(G'night, Penguin!)
Fours, Inky! :(
Wb, Dragona! :)
(Did I ever say hi to Em?
I don't think I did.
Oops.
Typical me.)
Hi Em!
Just one more thing
Why am I penguin? It's cool but I don't get it
(Ink=Pen
G = G
Chloe rocks= win
PENGUIN!)
Bye Inky!
Aww thnx :)
Byii for now
Aww thnx :)
Byii for now
Yeah Rose, go for it.
And hi Star!
(You really don't have to say wb. Because I'm just going to keep poofing, it seems. :P)
(I was quite impressed with myself when I came up with it.
*Cuddles*
Toodloo, Penguin!!)
@Death: O_O THAT'S ACE!
*is impressed too :P*
@Dragona: Yeah, me too. XD I'm trying to get better at greeting people, though. :P
*She yawned and stretched out her arms. She was laying on the floor. She'd been asleep and God only knew how long for. The fire was dying. She stoked it and looked at Roland, watching the light of the fire dance across his features*
You poor, poor man... To go through all that... An still be able to stay you...
*She shook her head and sighed. She walked back towards him and lay on the couch besise him*
*is impressed with Death's nicknaming skills*
Back!
(I can say WB Dragona if I wanna!
*Hi-fives*)
(Dankè, Star!)
(Also, thank you, Kes!)
(I was very creative that day.)
(I could have painted the Mona Lisa within the hour if I'd like, that day.)
(I miss Dau...)
*Roland's wings wrapped themselves tighter around him. When he was on the streets, his wings were his only protection so they automatically keep him safe, no matter where he was.
He let out a sigh in his sleep. He didn't seem to be having a nightmare, but he seemed in discomfort.*
Elleni,
First panel: Someone standing, looking like they're thinking.
Second panel: a trash can
Third panel: The first person standing in front of the trash can, holding a dead person
(My exact thoughts, El:
"Holy f***ing Hell! Why can she draw so well?! Why can't you draw like that?! God! She's amazing! You're drawings look like a kindergartener's drawing on a bad day!"
So, in other words, it's amazing.)
Elleni, OHMIGOD I'M A MORON I THOUGHT YOU WERE ASKING FOR IDEAS *facepalm*
El is great at drawing . . . -_-
*Sigh rolled over to face his wings and stroked them gently, trying not to wake him up. She wanted to hug him, to make his sighs go away, but she knew that if someone caught her thinking those thoughts, or doing exactly that, then Loki would know. Instead, she snuggled against his wings and kissed a few of his feathers*
That's really cute, Elleni!
(DOGGY IS SCARED OF STORM!!)
Star, so are you *looks pointedly at my profile picture*
@Elleni: IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT DOES LOOK LIKE WHAT KES SAID. XD
It's sweet. :) :)
@Kes: I'm still honoured that tha's your profile picture by the way. :) Thank you.
And I'm okay at some things, I guess. :)
*Casha walked over with Ariana in her arms. Casha looked like she had gotten some sleep but still looking very tired.*
Casha: *whispers* Hey Rose, I'm going to do some breakfast in the kitchen if you want some.
STAR THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING I THOUGHT SHE WAS ASKING FOR IDEAS
And I'm honoured that you made it for me, so we're even :P
*She rolled over and smiled at Casha, hoping she didn't notice the blush that had spread across her cheeks*
Breakfast would be lovely, thank you. Do you want a hand?
@Kes: I KNOW BUT STILL. XD
And - :)
Casha: You can buckle this little one into her high chair, I've got the rest.
*Ariana made a loud excited noise as her arms waved at Rose. Casha winced. She didn't want to wake Roland.*
*Se silently pulled away from Roland and took Ariana, kissing her forehead*
Okay.
*She took Ariana into the kitchen and started to put her in her high chair*
Hey Cash, you're brother's really sweet. Like, really, really sweet. And he been through so much! I... Ariana showed me his memories...
*Casha started boiling up the kettle and putting on the toaster.*
Casha: He has mellowed out a lot. But I haven't been around him in nearly 6 years.
*She got out a little plastic bowl and started mashing up a banana really well. Ariana watched Casha eagerly as she chewed on her own fist.*
(Hey Loki! Is your author feeling any better?)
*She smiled at Casha*
He's been on his own for nine years... I can't imagine how horrible that must has been...
*She mussed Ariana's hair and kissed her nose*
You're so sweet, angel. Never change. Except or the almost burning my face off...
*She looked at Casha again and ten towards the door*
I'm... I'm just going to wait with your brother, okay...?
Now I am even more fueled with hatred towards that angel, now I want to rip his miserable head off.
(But you will do no such thing, Loki.)
She is better:
*Casha frowned at Rose as she popped the toast from the toaster and putting in tea bags into cups.*
Casha: Perhaps it's best that he gets his rest. He was never a great sleeper anyway so for him to get any is great for him.
You fancy him, don't you?
(Yay! Zaf is feeling better!
*Cuddles Zaf*
*Purposely cuddles everyone except Loki*)
~Distant~
Death, why doesn't Loki get a cuddle?
*Her cheeks lit up*
NO! No no no no no! I have Loki! What would make you think that?!
*Her voice was horrified and her eyes were wide. She wouldn't tell Casha. She couldn't. Someone would hear. Someone would tell Loki. And she didn't really fancy him... At least the thought she didn't*
(Because Loki is going to rip of Roland's head. An because of what happened yesterday... With Zaf...
*Glowers at Loki*)
How would you like it when your girlfriend is with that angel? I am going to take a visit there, and explain to him to stay the hell away if he wants a wing to fly and a head to think.
((Rose- Loki is not comfortable at all with Roland around you so much, help me please? He's upset!-Zaf))
I will cry if Death gets involved in a love triangle
Polyamory is always better
Sorry.
*huggles Storm*
WB!
Death, when did she find out about that, though?
Loki, stop being so possessive, jeesh.
If I am not welcome, I can leave. I will allow my author to go swimming again.
(Loki, I can fly away with him. Never forget that.)
(Loki's a big boy, he'll get over it, Zaf.)
(Kes...)
I am sorry, I ought to hold my tongue.
Death, Loki, I joking, I joking. Sorry.
(*Cuddles Sil*
You have nothing to be sorry about, dear.)
(Kes, she hasn't found out, but she is suspicious.)
(Loki...)
*Casha didn't stop doing what she was doing but she kept talking.*
Casha: You are acting exactly like Lorcan was when he liked me. I can see it.
And I'm going to tell you now Rose, don't.
You can't fix him, you can't help him and if you take him on, you will be more hurt that loved.
((You try having him in your head. He wants to be with you, and he just can't stand the fact Roland likes Rose. He'll eventually suck it up, I cannot guarentee he will not want Roland to pay.-Zaf))
@Kes I'm not back for long.
I just came to say Sorry and that I probably won't be on speaking wise again tonight based on my current mood and the problems it tends to cause.
You're all beautiful and amazing. Don't change. Ever. Bye.
(Kes, he is possessive. He won't let me fight. It's either I fight and we split, or I stay safe and we stay together...)
(Ok it seems I could potentially be more... Well, just here, really.)
...
*hugs Storm*
Bye...
MY COMMENT POOFED EURGH
It hasn't done that in ages...
Death, I get that, I just like being an irritating buttface. Don't mind me :)
((Actually.....he's decided he could care less if she fights, so long as she comes home in mostly one piece he's happy.-Zaf
*She threw her hands up to cover her face*
Oh my God, Casha. No. It's not like that. I don't fancy him. Like, not at all. Friends. Just friends. He likes me, though... And -
*Her hands moved to cover her mouth*
I... I gotta go... I can't stay here much longer... I'm sorry.
*She shook her head and raced towards the door*
(Loki will not be hurting Roland, that is a fact. I want to be with him too...)
*just sits with the twins, feeding one*
(Sil... I'll miss you...
*Cuddles tightly*
Please don't leave...)
(Hey Dragona!!)
(Kes, you're not wrong, that's the thing!)
(Well, Loki ought to be pretty damn happy. Blake banished her fight.)
*Casha grabbed her before she reached the door and pulled her in tightly for a hug.*
Casha: It's okay Rose. It's okay.
I would just worry about the both of you. And you can't leave, I wouldn't know how to explain that to Roland.
And what about Ariana?
Don't feel like you have to hideaway here. You are here with your family, you can talk to us about anything and if you're troubled, we will help you.
Now come on, get a cup of tea and some toast into you and calm down. Everything is okay.
*Ariana cooed louder from inside the kitchen, she became worried when she saw Rose and her mother leave the room.*
(Hey Rose!)
((Death, yeah, but it's not my place to tell your characters what do :3))
Rose2:
*She walked behind Loki and kissed his cheek*
So... How was the Tony and Loki battle to the death? My father turned off the wifi, I'm sorry.
(So warm. 0_0)
(Death, you said, "Blake banished her fight." What does that mean?)
Ah, Tony decided to not annoy me after Zanida came. Did I ever tell you that Tony and Zanida have a thing?
*She hugged Casha back tightly*
But what if he finds out...? What would I do then...? And Ariana will miss me for a while, and then she'd forget... It's just easier if I go. But I'll... I think I ought to stay for breakfast, at least...
*She pulled away and curled her arms around herself. What would happen if Loki found out? Something bad. Very, very bad. She didn't want to put the family in harm's way*
Hey, Dragona! Sorry, just noticed you :/
(Kestrel, its fine lol. Hi btw. :) )
Gtg, foooooooood!
(Her names in her head are different parts of her. Seven was her fight. Blake and Seven fought, then Blake banished Seven to another dimension. So that's why Rose has been acting weird (ie, getting the kitten).)
Rose2:
Tony and Zan, huh? How does Thor feel about one of his Avenger buddies having the hots for his wife?
*She laughed softly and took Leif from his arms, holding him tightly against her*
I love you...
(Toodles, Kes!)
(Aha, that kind of makes sense... I think. :P)
(WOW WOW WOW RED FLAG HERE!
'She pulled away and curled her arms around herself. What would happen if Loki found out? Something bad. Very, very bad. She didn't want to put the family in harm's way'
This is NOT the sort of thoughts you have in a healthy relationship!)
(So Rose no longer has any fight left in her. If someone was to come up and threaten to stab her, she wouldn't know what to do. She'd probably just get scared and cry...)
Thor is okay with it, I mean not totally happy, but he figured Zanida has a head. *smiles* I love you too. *the kitty meows*
(Sil, it's about having a teeny weeny crush on Roland. If it makes you feel any better, LOKI AND DEREK ARE HAVING KIDS AND DEREK IS THE MOTHER HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL ABOUT THAT AT LEAST IM NOT HAVING KIDS WITH ROLAND!!!
Ahem.)
(Death - I'm sure her and Leri would get on fine, then. :P)
Rose2:
Well, if that's the case, then send Zan over to Stark towers pretending that she's hurt while we help your army get through the portal that we shall make. Whatever did happen to that reactor thing Selvig made?
*She looked at Loki*
I was telling Leif I loved him. Not you. I love Leif. I don't love you.
*She looked around and grinned at Loki Jr*
Aren't you a little cutie...?
(@Dragona: Yeah, probably!)
(*grumbles quietly*
*goes back to lurking*)
You do not love me? *smirks* We can send my sister over, but not now. I need to retrieve her from Asgard. I also know where the reactor is, Zanida found it with Stark.
((Rose, when my author leavew for food, and comes back I'll do the portal.))
*Casha sat her down and handed her a cup of tea and plate of jammed toast. She sat down beside Ariana and started to feed her the mushy banana.*
Casha: I don't want Ariana to forget you and I know you don't want to walk away from her.
I'm assuming you've talked to Roland about all this?
And it's probably not my place Rose, but if you are frightened of Loki, then that's not a good relationship to be in. You should never be afraid of someone you love or who loves you.
*Ariana cooed in delight when she tasted the banana, she made excited noises as she looked for more.*
*Runs up to Rose with a strange thing in his hand that looks like a transparent grey cloth. He thrusts it into her face and it seems to meld in to her body*
I swear to god if that didn't work I'm going to go blow another hole in the fabric of time and space.
((For those who might be wondering "BLAKE WTF?!" allow me to explain.
Cloth thingy=Seven.))
(*Cuddles Sil*
Sorry...)
Of course I don't love you. You kill my friends.
*She was joking, but she made her voice dead serious*
Ohh... Tony and Zanida sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, second comes marriage, the of comes baby in a baby carriage!
*She laughed and snuggled her face into Leif's stomach*
(Okay!)
(You sent Seven to a different dimension and turned them into a towel?)
((She looked like one, since she was a part of Rose's being and not a physical thing I just came up with an ethereal sounding description.))
((Oh and hi everyone.))
(Okay Lurking isn't helping. Sil one is basically a zombie right now sooooo...)
(this is Sil2)
*jumps out of a tree near Blake*
Hey.
(@Sil; Oh for Christs sake what happened to her now?)
Hey kid, how're things?
(Kes bit her.)
Depends, you and Chi still hate me?
*She took a sip of the tea and tore off a piece of toast which she twirled in her fingers*
I don't want to walk away, but it's the best thing to do in this situation...
Yeah, Roland and I have talked about it... He... He actually kissed me yesterday... He said he was sorry but I was fine with it... And I've told him that if Loki and I weren't a thing, I'd definitely be interested... I think he knows tat I kinda like him back...
I'm not frightened of Loki, of frightened of what he's going to to do Roland when he finds out. He's going to kill him. I don't want that to happen...
*Her head fell into her hands*
Oh God...
---
*She stared at Blake in horror and gasped as the cloth-thing hit her face. It seeped into her skin and she stood there, frozen for a few moments. Then she gasped and rolled her shoulder*
Oh... Blake... I missed her...
*still sat underneath her tree, since that's where she normally is these days*
*takes out a pouch of nutrient paste from her pocket and feeds the top into the induction port on her helmet and eats the pouch of food, before removing the top from the port*
Eh, I've been over it for a few days. Chi is probly a different story. As for you Rose that's a damn good thing to hear.
*Blake sighs and sits back on the ground, now that he's holding still various bruises and gashes are obvious through his tattered clothes*
(*Still guffawing over Dragona's towel comment*)
Rose2:
*She returne Leif to his cot and smiled at Blake*
So... How was the banishment-ness?
(It was a valid point! Maybe the dimension was the land of tea towels and dish cloths...)
So is that a 'no Sil I don't hate you anymore?'
*hides the hopeful look that's trying to crawl onto her face*
(@Dragona: Laughing like this on an empty stomach hurts!! You're only making it worse!!)
(Hey.)
(That rhymed.)
Sucked. There wasn't a single thing there that was happy to see me and they all did a damn good job of getting revenge. The only reason they're not hot on my tail is a big old barrier I set up that's gonna require regular maintenance till we can patch that hole in reality.
And no Sil, I try not to hate people for very long.
*Blake groans and lays full on his back, relaxing his muscles after the endless fighting he's been through the past days*
(I'm sorry! :P
But when someone says that someone took their fight from them and sent it to another dimension... A cloth isn't what comes to mind. Somehow.)
Rose2:
Wait. You actually made a hole in reality?! Oh my God, Blake! That's amazing!!
*She laughed and looked at his clothes*
First it was the chains, and now you're coming to me in rags that barely count as clothes. I'm sorry, Blake, you're going to have to get in line for that kind of thing.
You need healing or are you good?
*looks down at him, eyes happy if slightly worried*
(Dragona... It hurts!!!)
(Random question: If a vampire (sp vamp) had a reflection....would it turn or not? Would it be fast? Strong? Blood thirsty? Allergic to salt?)
(Hey El, you okay?)
*walks cautiously towards the group and sits down beside them*
(what's up El?)
Oh I'm sure I'll live, I think I managed to avoid anything poisonous or otherwise death-causing in the long term.
Yes Rose I did indeed blow a hole in a thin spot between our dimension and that of those I've banished, it was quite the light show. Oh and trust me, the line goes the other way as well.
*He shoots a joking wink at Rose and stares at the sky, trying not to bleed on his clothes too much*
(I reckon that it wouldn't be able to have a reflection... A vampire doesn't have magic, does it? Vampireness is more of a disease then magic... I think...
*How Rose justifies it*)
((Sorry for vanishing, ice cream truck came and my author had to chase it down the street.))
(That sounds like a lot of work for some ice cream.)
*smiles at Leri*
*looks at Blake*
...
*sighs*
Men.
*kneels next to him and claps her hands, a warm red glow spreading over them*
*lays both hands on Blake's big forehead and he starts healing*
(That sounds like you don't like ice cream enough.)
(I do not have a big forehead! You have little hands!)
(Suuuuuure Blake...)
I dedicate this page to my army, it is coming. I am about to make the world free, from freedom, life's greatest lie.
*smiles sadly back at Silente - not that she can see anyway because of the helmet*
Rose2:
*She waved at Leri and smiled*
Hey, what's up?
*She looked back down at Blake when he spoke*
So you could have possibly destroyed Blogland as we know it for me...? Aw... Blake... I-I... I don't know what I say...
*She was joking. She smiled down at him and kicked his leg playfully*
Thanks, man. And don't wink. It makes you look stupid.
*She laughed softly and hunkered down beside him, looking at his wounds. He needed someone to heal him. Her sigils had been playing up recently*
(And we are about to kick Loki's butt! *nods*)
Casha: But if you've talked to Roland and he understands not to cross those boundaries any more than there should be nothing to worry about. He will keep those boundaries.
Unless you're starting to fall for Roland??
ICECREAM TRUCK!!))
(@El: Oh... :/ ))
(Hear hear, Loki!)
... I guess I'm okay, Rose... How are you?
*sighs, just watching the twins, his sister already went to talk with Tony. They were going out for a while, he knew what was coming tonight. The Frost Giants were coming, and he would be on top, as the king of Midgard.*
*She sighed heavily*
Casha, I would totally tell you something but I can't because a certain person would find out.
*She suddenly looked up at the sky*
Heimdall, if you're watching me, you do NOT mention this to Loki! Or anyone!
*Her head dropped again, onto the table, and faced Casha. Her face was burning from the blush*
(Or at least that is what Loki thinks...ah such a sad little man. HE SHALL FALL AND BE SQUASHED AND I SHALL LAUGH! HAHAHAHA!
*cough* sorry. To far into the Sil mind set...)
((It was funny as can be, Zafira heard the truck, threw on shorts and ran down the street after the truck in a bikini top, she just had come home. Well the driver was teasing her and pretending not to hear her, kept driving. All in all, Zafira ran up a hill and back down and came back, sucessful. ))
(I want to rule beside Loki, El. You dying is a... Mere side effect of that.)
Rose2:
I'm great thanks, Leri! How's the helmet? Love the helmet, by the way!
*She turned to start walking back towards the house*
I ought to find Loki again... I'm sorry, I'll see you soon!
*She entered the house and snuck up behind Loki. She kissed his hair*
Hey.
(Aww thanks El!)
*He speaks in a mock romantic tone*
Oh of course Rose, I'd destroy a planet for you.
Sil, really, I'll be alright. I just need some time to-
*He coughs up a bit of greenish blood. For a moment he stares at it in horror.*
Okay never mind can we speed up the healing?
*sighs, and puts her helmet in her hands* ... It's working... I just wish I didn't need it...
Fine. If I faint you don't get to laugh though.
*taos the sigil that double up the energy transfer and winces*
*grits her teeth as Blake's healing speeds up*
(Bye El!)
Rose2:
*Before she entered the house*
Aw... Blake, I always go for the ones willing to destroy things for me... You would destroy a planet, Loki would rule a planet... I'm sorry, my love, but Loki's ideas seem a lot better... My heart will miss you, Blake...
Hello, love. Zanida has gone to Stark, we will be clear shortly.
*moves away from Blake's green blood*
I wouldn't ask you to push yourself if it wasn't for that stuff I just hacked up. I'll be dead in abouuuuuuuuuuuut...
*A thoughtful look comes to his face*
Forty second or so.
Casha: I see.
I don't think you should walk away. Especially not now while Lorcan is healing and especially not ever because we need you forever.
But Roland will cause you more harm than good. If you are falling for him, you will want to fix him, to be there for him, to care for him.
But you can't Rose. You just can't. It is okay to be there as his friend, since he's never had any friends but for someone to completely care for him, he will break you.
Rose2:
*She took Kari from his arms and placed her back in her cot. Then she sat on Loki's lap and kissed him*
Hmm... What to do in that time, then, huh?
*She slowly walked her fingers up his chest*
Do you... Have any ideas...?
*sighs*
*taps another sigil*
*she's never poured this much energy into healing before*
*starts trembling and is visibly paling by the second*
((Well after dinner for my author, we can have the Frost Giants attack. Rose, depending on how many Bloglandians are fighting, will you help me with roleplaying Frost Giants?))
... Silente, are you okay...?
*Blake's breathing becomes normal and no marks are visible through the holes in his clothes. Just to be sure he draws his sword out of its scabbard a bit and runs his finger along it. The blood drawn is red as it should be, and a sigh of relief escapes him*
Thanks Sil, I would have healed myself but I've used a lot of energy over the past few days...
I won't break.
*She covered her mouth with her hands and stared at Casha in shock*
I'm really sorry, I love you all, but if this is happening, then I can't be here much longer.
*She pushed away from the table, leaving her barley touched toast, kissed Ariana's forehead and went into the living room. She looked at Roland's form before she came closer and hugged him tightly*
I'll miss you... I'm sorry...
*She pulled away and ran back towards the door*
*grunts and cuts of the sigils*
*lays back in the grass, panting like she's ran a marathon*
*eyed closed*
(I'll help ya, Loki!)
... She saved your life, and all you can say is thanks?
*He half-lifts his head to look at Leri*
Well what do you want me to do? Give her some flowers?
*moves over to Silente to make sure she's ok*
... She deserves flowers... Without her help you would have died... You owe her everything... All the days you will now have are down to her...
((Thank you, I am very distant currently, if I vanish assume dinner is done.))
*laughs slightly and ends up coughing up a little bit of blood*
*doesn't open her eyes*
IIIIIIII shouldn't have done that.
*still panting slightly*
I would consider this one less favor she owes me, the number of times I've kept her from dying... I even brought her back from the dead one time.
(No problem, Mr Laufeyson! And alright!)
... You made her human again against her will... She owes you nothing...
... Are you okay, Silente?
*opens her eyes and looks at Leri*
*they're slightly bloodshot*
I have no clue. First time I've used that much energy on fixing someone.
She owes me more than most people owe anyone in their entire lifetimes, you are simply trying to find a way past that because you don't like me.
*He roughly places a hand on Sil's arm and gives her a short jolt of healing power*
Check one more on the list.
*activates her computer and scans Silente*
... You seem to be ok, I think... But you need energy... I haven't got any... I have no way of giving it you...
*Suddenly there was a whoosh and Roland was standing in front of the door, his wings spread wide.*
Roland: Why are you leaving us? Why am I losing my only friend? Why?!
... Of course I don't like you... You're so violent... It's just silly... Especially now you have children... It isn't very responsible...
*looks at Blake*
Stop helping me. If you're just going to save up debts then I don't want your 'help'
*sits up*
Plus its not THAT type of energy I need. I'll be fine over time though.
*She looked at Roland, tears starting to pool in her eyes*
Because... Because I like you... And you're only going to get hurt if I stay... He'll come. He'll find out and want your head...
*Her head dropped and she pressed the heels of her palms into her eyes, trying to stop the tears*
I don't want you hurt...
Leri, you understand nothing about me. I fight because I am compelled to, because I have to in order to survi-
to feel alive...
Roland: But I told you last night that I understand your heart belongs to another.
And I would like you to just be my friend.
What I did last night was foolish of me and I let my emotions get the better of me. But that will not happen again.
I need my friend Rose, I have no friends but you.
*He seemed a bit out of breath as his left wing twitched slightly but he stood strong.*
(Ahhh. I have missed my hair. It's amazing)
Sil, the day I call on those debts is a long way off, even by your standards. You can keep calm about it for now.
But I like you! I shouldn't, Roland, but I do! And I can't not like you!
*She tools a step forward and wrapped her arms tightly around his chest. She started to cry, unable to hold the tears back any longer*
You'll get hurt because of me... I'm sorry... I can't get you hurt...
Yeah. Hopeful that day doesn't exist.
*smiles*
Especially if collection means I have to give anymore of my life force to you.
*took)
... But what if you get killed? ... Your child will grow up without a father... And Chione likes fighting too... They could be orphans because of your violence...
You put a number on Silente's life like you can determine it's value... When you can't... I think it's wrong... You save her just to make her more in debt to you... I think it's disgusting...
Trust me Sil, I don't want any more of you inside me than absolutely necessary.
*He chuckles and sits up, shaking his head and rolling his shoulders*
Man, I think I'll head back through that barrier every now and again when you guys don't want to fight. What a rush...
(Blake, what happens if you banish your banished entities??)
*goes back to laying down*
*ugh*
*bad idea to use life force energy as opposed to normal energy*
Roland: I have been hurt before and yet I am standing here before you. Do not underestimate me.
I can not have you here, as my friend. You understand. You listen. You want to be there for me. You want to be there when no one else does.
Do not throw our friendship away because of another. That is not fair on either of us.
*His wing twitched again, painfully but he either didn't notice it or didn't show it.*
*monitors Silente's heart rate using her computer*
(Nothing, I think... maybe they'd go even deeper through various dimension..?)
Roland, you don't understand...
*Her voice was thick*
This is Loki Laufeyson. The God of Mischief. He's... He would actually kill you if he knew what I felt for you...
I want to be here for you... Forever... But I can't...
*She felt the air move near her face and she looked up, to see his wing twitch*
Are you okay? Is your wing in pain?! Roland... I'm sorry...
(Well, you ought to try it out and see, Blake! There's only one way to find out!)
(I have to go now. Bye!)
(btw with the energy thing-
Normally her sigils use 'general' energy which is the one that keeps her away and all that. She uses too much, she goes unconscious. She used any more AFTER that's gone and they start draining life force energy.
Life force energy is basically her life. With out she's dead. It takes a long time to recuperate and dead things can't recuperate it. Using it has bad effects that can't be fixed with anything other than life force energy. One or two of her sigils use this.)
*coughs again and a tad more blood comes out*
*wipes it away quickly*
