First Post of 2015

I have just seen Tom Percival's rough version of what the paperback cover for The Dying of the Light ... and all I can say is WOW.

This cover needs to be a poster. You'll be seeing it yourself in a matters of weeks, and then you can join me in demanding more posters. MORE!

Before the paperback of TDOTL comes out, of course, there'll be the paperback edition of Armageddon Outta Here. We'll be using a slightly altered version of the hardback cover for this because I didn't want anyone out there picking it up thinking it's one of the main books — I want it to be as obvious as possible that it's a collection of stories. There ARE going to be three new stories in it, though, about which I'll go into more detail closer to publication.

The Skulduggery series is, of course, now over, and I'm working on this mysterious new trilogy of mine. I had a third of it written by the time TDOTL was released, and then I went on a tour that took me to the other side of the world, and writing stopped.

When I got back, I had to write those three new short stories for AOH — so writing of the new series was postponed.

Then I needed a break. I just needed one or two weeks to just stop working and relax. So no writing got done.

Then it was December, and I sat down to write the remaining two thirds of the book. And I sat. And I sat. And nothing was happening. My absolute deadline for getting the first book finished was the end of January, and I had a LOT to do. But nothing was happening.

The writing had stalled.

This, as you can imagine, was not good. This was ever-so-slightly worrying. It had happened before, of course. It had happened with The Faceless Ones and again with Kingdom of the Wicked. Writer's block? Maybe. If such a thing exists, then I probably had it.

December carried on. I spoke to my agent and my editor just before the Christmas break, because the title I had been planning on using (or something similar) had been used by someone else a year earlier. We'd been having discussions about what it was going to be called now. None of my ideas were hitting in the way I needed.

But then, right before the Christmas break, the title came to me. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is — not yet. But it came to me and my eyes widened, and I sent off an email. A short email. Two words long. My title. My agent and my editor got back to me immediately — perfect.

We got on the phone, discussed it, said merry Christmas, and hung up.

Happy once again, I sat down at my desk and began to WRITE.


Except I didn't.

The book was still stalled.

The day before Christmas Eve I was sitting at my computer, staring at the screen. I remembered how I had been blocked when writing The Faceless Ones and Kingdom of the Wicked. When I was writing TFO, I was in the process of buying a house and I was about to move in. Something like this is incredibly distracting, and probably accounted for my inability to write. I broke through that block one day (on New Year's Eve, 2008) simply because enough time had passed. I didn't question it, I just wrote. When I was writing KOTW, I got halfway through and things slowed down.  I wasn't blocked, exactly, but I wasn't inspired. There was something missing. I looked at the title — Kingdom of the Wicked — and I asked myself what does this title say to me?

For some reason, it said 'alternate dimension'.

That's what was missing. Immediately I was writing about shunting and Mevolent and a world ruled by sorcerers, and slotting all that into what I'd already written about Argeddion and Kitana.

So, two days before Christmas, I looked at this title I'd just come up with, and I asked myself what does this title say to me?

And it told me. And suddenly everything changed.

The core idea is still the same — it's still about a 16 year old girl who is being chased across America by demons — but it has grown. It has expanded. It has evolved.

So I scrapped what I'd written. I managed to salvage maybe half of it, but that meant I was now even worse off than I had been. The thing is, though, I was now inspired. This was FUN again.

My deadline is still the end of this month. In the last week, I have written enough to that I have once again got a third of it written. I calculate that I will need to write twice as much as I usually do per day to get it done in time. Yesterday was my first attempt to do this. I wrote EXACTLY twice as much as I usually do. Yesterday was a good day. Today is going to be a good day too.

It has to be.

*some of which are

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(TANYA D: )

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hi Dugglyn!)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Thank you *drinks* Now, about the children

Smith: *Nervously drinks*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Of course, Star. And I would never claim otherwise. She is a very morally questionable person.)

Bethany: ... Are there any good things to spread about you?

Liliana: Possibly not. But regardless, I do what I please. However, you have to admit risking my life to save this universe was rather nice of me.

Star Inkbright said...

@Sophia: *nods*

Inky Flame said...

My children ?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(SILENTE >:D)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Laughs* Not going to happen
Puny GOD.
*Kicks his ribs as he gets up*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Yes, Ed wants to see them, even if he is in prison. I have requested visiting forms for them

Inky Flame said...

I would like them to see their daddy

Star Inkbright said...

(Was that an Avengers reference, Ariadne? :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Tanya... D: dont die...)


Hmm. Maybe..
Anyway we should..go home. Claire needs to think. And both of you need food..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Yes, yes it was Star :P)

John said...

*Her foot passes through him and becomes trapped in his torso*

You seem very... passionate when you fight. That may be your undoing.

*Darkness travels up her leg, slowly eating away at her*

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: W... we requested the form, they cant see him

Star Inkbright said...

(Ahh, I feel socially competent now. C:

That was my favourite moment in the film. XD Loki's whimpering noise. XD XD)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Don't worry, Jai. Sil and Lil will get plenty more chances to impale this vile creature.)

Inky Flame said...

W what *frowns and lowers ears* t they must see him...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: I have already decided. But food would be nice?

Bethany: *places her hand on Silente's shoulder* I believe that you will need food, also.

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: And thanks to the request, his only authorised visitor, you

Smith: Has been banned

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sil doesn't want to impale Tanya..)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

I'm the Goddess of Passion, Erebus. That would make sense, wouldn't it?
*Tries to get her leg out*
That's weird and disgusting, give me my leg back.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*nods*
Okay..food then. Beth, could you take us back?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Same Star. And Captain America saying "Hulk...Smash")

Inky Flame said...

B no! T that can't be right ...I have to see him !

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Too late to change anything now.

*has one of her clones carve letters into her skin with a knife*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Sorry, we were asked to tell you

Smith: S... sorry

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(WHAT ARE YOU CARVING?!)

Inky Flame said...

B but I I'll d die if I don't s see him...

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Silente, calm down...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Aria SHE'S DOING THIS CAUSE OF SIL I'M ALLOWED TO PANIC)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Inky, are you meant to be a wolf?
Does that mean you're like, a werewolf...?)

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: He was l... lucky to receive a visitor

Mercy: He is the most well guarded prisoner in the world

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Aren't you going to ask what I decided?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Why is she taking pills and cutting herself because of Sil? I don't really understand what's going on)

John said...

I do not think I will. You will slowly be encased by my shadows, and then I will decide to have your physical body destroyed or if you will serve me.

*The darkness continues to inch up her body*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*Tanya decides that she needs the carvings repeated all over her body in order to make the point quite clear*

*has another clone join in cutting her skin all over, with the magic knives creating tattoo-like markings all over her body*

*Tanya reaches for her phone to leave a voice message*

(Food, bye!)

Inky Flame said...

(Inky is indeed a werewolf ^.^)


I'll have to rescue him!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

No. It's up to you when you tell us..
*smiles slightly*


(Cause Sil, one of her only friends, just ditched her.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Starts to panic as the shadows get to her knee*
I'll never serve you....
You can't have me...I'll kill myself before you get to me.
*The roots rise and try and stop the shadows from moving up her body by wrapping tightly around her leg and cutting off her blood circulation too*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(KASSSSSS WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE?!)

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: *laughs nervously*

Mercy: Only two things could get him out, a god to break him out or authorization from someone such as Trip

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hey Sib)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Ariadne is a goddess, she could help? If she gets away from Erebus, but she's also keeping him busy so that he doesn't control anyone or destroy the world *nods*)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Well, you will be adopting me, so I think I should tell you now? *smiles*

Bethany: We'll be adopting you?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hello Sibyllin)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(And Sil, surely you could just find her and heal her?
Hi Sib! nice to meet you. I saw you were on just before me this morning but I think you were gone by the time I came on...)

Edward Fletcher said...

(A very powerful destructive god/goddess would be needed)

John said...

Then kill yourself. Either way you will be out of the picture.

*the shadows move directly under the roots without pause*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, eyes brightening slight*
Really? You...you don't mind?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Blake - Just making sure you notice.)

Phaestra: *appears in a flash of light behind Blake, sword drawn*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Looks in horror as the shadows go under her skin*
*Golden liquid seeps down the shadows*
*sighs* You know Gods can't die! only fade...
*Takes a knife out of her pocket and goes to stab his face, kneels down on his chest*

Inky Flame said...

I don't know where trip is!

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Then a god is the plan

Smith: Y... you have our h... help.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Oh thanks Mr Smith, so you're saying that Ariadne isn't powerful?)

Inky Flame said...

(Hey Sib! Nice to meet you)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Of course not. *smiles*

Bethany: *extends her hands - one to Silente, and the other to Claire*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Ariadne, no I am saying that a god of destruction would be useful. I don't doubt your power)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Static

Why isn't this working?

*pulls a panel off the wall, revealing lots and lots of wires*

*snips a few*

*fuses a few more*

*presses a button on her earpiece*

*nothing*

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

This mage might actually be a threat, then. It didn't sound like it from her file, but...

Oh, gods, it's time for field work, isn't it?

I hate field work.

The world's probably at stake though, so I guess it's worth it.

Maybe.

*grumble grumble*

*gets up from her chair*

*Pulls down a basket from a high shelf*

*Sorts through the phones until she finds the one she's looking for*

*dials a number*

Hello--Ross? Yeah, it's me. I was wondering if I could borrow your library card.

Oh, just a little project.

No! No, of course not.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you so much! You're--

What?

Oh.

Alright then.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*smiles, hugging Claire tightly*
*whispers* thank you...
*let's her go and takes Beth's hand, smiling at her*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Welp, in Greek Mythology there is no god of destruction. Erebus is the god of darkness, what's darkness going to do? You would have needed Zeus with his lightning or something, fry all the electricity so they can saunter into the prison and free this Ed person. Now that would be useful.)

John said...

If it isn't one of the light deities, come to thwart my evil plans I suppose?

Inky Flame said...

You...will help me?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Erebus, you are just about to get stabbed in the face.)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Ariadne, Zeus is destructive power yes, only three characters I know of have the power level I was talking about
Ed is my normal character)

Garret Falcone said...

(Chlo, quick question:
Can we do Tawnett wedding another day? (i don't know when maybe you can decide *nods* )
*huggles tightly*
*leaves again* )

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Of course

Smith: I... its our job

Inky Flame said...

(Okay Rhossie *huggle*)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hi, bye Rhos)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Which 3 characters are you referring to?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hi/bye Rhos)

Inky Flame said...

T thank you ..:

Edward Fletcher said...

(The characters would be Alastair, Trip and Ed)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: *hugs her back* Why? *takes Bethany's hand*

Bethany: *they vanish in a flash of gold, reappearing in their house*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Ah, yes, hello everyone. So good to see you. Excuse me for not greeting each one of you in turn, but I'm somewhat occupied with world-saving matter. So sorry to disappoint.)

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: We w... were hired to protect y... you

Mercy: Your husband hired us

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Phaestra: Of course. There is nothing you can do which I cannot reverse.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

For saying yes..
Anyway, food. What are people wanting?
*smiles*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(That's Fine Sib. World-saving matters are very important and take up a lot of time. I suppose I'm trying to save the world too, by keeping an evil darkness god at bay.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(It's okay Sib.)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Ok Sib)

Inky Flame said...

Thanks...but I have the kids to look after....

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*smiles*
*cuddles fate*
*happy now*
*happy for Sil*
*happy happy happy*)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Of course, we will protect you all

John said...

*Sighs*

You're all very confident in this universe.

*The knife becomes stuck in his face, and like Ariadne's leg shadows begin to creep along its surface*

Inky Flame said...

But who will baby sitting?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: What do you have?

Bethany: I would like salad... Do you want some blood?

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: What?

Smith: We are here to protect you, sort of like a guardian angel

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Swears under her breath and let's go of the knife*
*Looks up at the women*
Little help?
*Glances at her leg then back at her*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Right. Fruit salad for Beth. Claire I think Beth can probably make whatever you want..?
*smiles*
And I'll have some later Beth, thanks.

Inky Flame said...

But...I have to get ed! But someone needs to look after the kids

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Phaestra: Confidence is a mortal concept. *raises her hand, firing a beam of light into Ariadne, dissipating the shadows*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: We told you, you cant get him

Inky Flame said...

I must! I I'll die without him...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Claire: Awesome! A pizza?

Bethany: *she frowns* What is a pizza?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Lifts her leg out of his torso and attempts to get her knife back*
Thanks.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*returns*

Hello, Sib.)

*wakes up, looking at two women so similar she could swear they're sisters*

Wait, they're clones. Am I a clone?

No, I can't be.


*Her thoughts are scattered, her memories scattered. She closes her eyes again, and stays in the warm bed for a few more hours*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: You can see him when he has served his sentence

Smith: T... they would only release him with authorization or if a threat he could defeat was arriving

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*rolls eyes*
It's dough, with a tomato puree and cheese topping. And sometimes other things depending on the type.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: You have to remember I'm not human...

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I will be back soon.)

Inky Flame said...

W what s sort of threat ? Like a god?

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Good luck with that, Ariadne, and the rest of you, I suppose, since you all seem to be occupied with this "darkness god" business. Don't worry, I've got other major threats under control for the time being.)

*forwards an email to the spotter division in New Zealand*

*jots a few notes in a notebook*

*watches a green dot move across a computer screen*

*the fingers of her right hand tap on the arm of her office chair while her left hand presses a few keys*

*finally, a small package wrapped in brown paper drops through the mail slot*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: I guess like a god, any threat that mankind cant defeat

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(It looks like there is a lot of gods around the area of Blogland. Hasn't one of them maybe offered to help? apart from me obviously.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs Kas* welcome back...)


I know
*smiles*
My angel..well the dough is thin and circular.
*makes a hologram of a pizza*
Like that.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

If you refer to power, you forget about myself, Zanida, and Thor. We are gods as well.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Well thank you for keeping us safe, Sib ^.^)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Alastair, Trip and Ed are not gods but they have a great deal of god like power. Alastair and Trip have a great deal of power and Ed controls time)

John said...

*Grabs the knife out of his eye and hurls it toward Ariadne faster than the eye can follow, then his back explodes into spikes of darkness aimed at and around Phaestra*

Edward Fletcher said...

(Sorry Loki, I completely forgot about you lot. I apologize)

John said...

(If Blake were still around he'd be glad to help, Ed. But uh... *points to current RP* Yeah.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(The Asguardians ^.^ who is Zanida though? I haven't heard of her)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sorry for making you worry, Jai.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(-_- hmph. What did they write all over her?)

Star Inkbright said...

(Huh, I wouldn't say Trip was Alastair-level on power. Alastair has around fifty really good magical disciplines, so Alastair is pretty much very-very-very-very-very-very-very powerful. I would say Trip was only very powerful (although he is pretty powerful, yeah. :)))

Edward Fletcher said...

(I understand J, I got fed up of writing Ed and I wanted to write new characters Mercy and Smith, Ed shall return at some point though)

Star Inkbright said...

(Or maybe very-very powerful. Idk.)

Inky Flame said...

Where shall we get such a threat?

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*decides wither she should dodge or try and catch the knife*
*Tries to catch it but misses, although she hits it off course and it lands in a tree behind her*
*Runs to retrieve it*

John said...

(Huh, how would you rate Blake, Star?)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Sil technically COULD be very powerful, considering how she never surged, but she doesn't use her power...)

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Star but they are both really powerful, that is what I am counting, Alastair is very powerful yes)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

(Oh, you're not safe, believe me. You're still up against a primordial being here.)

(However, I did just do some pretty impressive computer work to make sure that no one other than Erebus gets to the point where they'll be able to destroy the world. So you're welcome.)

Chione Asahina said...

(Chione and Hecate are powerful too, and Chione offered to help you, Inky. Just reminding you.
*Disappears again*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs Gemma just before she leavesssss*)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hi, Bye Chi)

Inky Flame said...

(*huggles gemma* thanks for the offer
Perhaps next time you are here?)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Hi/bye Chione
Wow there are a lot of gods and goddesses around. Chione and Hecate...
And yeah, I guess you're right Sib but I kinda have the god handled at the moment, or at least pre-occupied.)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Whoops, double commented.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: I... Can try?


Phaestra: *swings her sword, slicing through the shadows before bringing the blade around to face him* *fires a beam of white energy from the tip of her sword at him*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Okay.
*smiles reassuringly at her*

John said...

*A wall of darkness erupts from the ground in front of Ariadne, blocking her path. It quickly forms around her i the shape of a large dome*

*He turns around and meets the beam with one of his own, canceling both of the attacks out*

You look like you may be a bit of fun...

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Chloe sorry, only just saw the comment)

Mercy: I do not know

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: *her hand starts to glow white, before a pizza forms in her hand - with cheese for a base, a base in replacement of the tomato puree and tomato puree as a topping*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*frowns slightly*
Hmmm..almost right?

Inky Flame said...

(Okay ^.%)

*frowns* bummer...we will have think this though

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Phaestra: Perhaps. *casts her free hand towards him, her hand glowing white* *a large cargo ship forms behind him, and starts to move in his direction, scraping along the ground*

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: I mean, you cant just release a god onto the world for him

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((I created her, she's the biological sister of Loki, and goddess of fire, but she can use some Frost Giant abilities, and she's marriex to Thor-Zaf

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Looks around at the dome*
*Bangs her fist against it*
Hey let me out of here idiot!

Inky Flame said...

i would do anything for him..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Oh, cool. That's a really interesting idea, fire and ice together.)

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: Y... you would kill?

Mercy: *laughs* You could reason with Erebus or Loki

Inky Flame said...

anything *is dead serious*
*to Mercy* I would try...

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: Oh, y... you would

Mercy: You could try, but they hardly know him. Why would Loki or Erebus help you?

John said...

*Gazes at the ship with a bored expression. Once it is within striking range he punches it, bare fist against metal, and it comes to a screeching halt around him*

*Shakes his hand a few times and looks at Phaestra*

Well, you had better clean that up before anyone sees it.

Star Inkbright said...

@Blake: Pretty high up on the 'very' scale . . . Blake is very powerful. :P I'm not sure how I'm compare him to Alastair, though. It's hard, because I'm not totally sure how I'm defining 'power,' either. :P

Inky Flame said...

*frowns* because ill bargain with them..

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*Bangs louder on the dome*
Hey! Erebus let me out of here!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@J BLAKE is powerful. Erebie is very powerful.)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Try, they wont listen

John said...

*The dome contracts in response, shrinking to only half its original size*

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Star how would you rate Ed if he used his power to its full potential)

Inky Flame said...

if I go...would you look after the babies? *looks at Mercy * infact...nope! you can get them to come here

Inky Flame said...

(*coughs* you need to watch this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUlRECoOv04)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

*gets flung back to the centre of the dome*
YOU COWARD! WHY CAN'T YOU FIGHT PROPERLY!
This is stupid...
*Kicks the dome*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Mine!

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(*claps* Well done Sil xD)

Edward Fletcher said...

(Chloe, I am not watching that)

Mercy: I cant just make Loki or Erebus appear

Inky Flame said...

(why not? *looks innocent*)

shoo off and find them! please *does the whole puppy eye thing*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Bethany: I'll try again. *places the pizza on the table, before her hand glows white and a pizza forms in her hand* This?

Phaestra: *fires two beams of light at him - one from either hand*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Haha! Good!

I dedicate to five people!
1) Gemma. Because I love you and you're a brilliant person.
2) Aria. Because you're new here and I also find you reasonably likeable...most of the time. ;P
3) Chloe. Because you can be annoying but you can also be kind.
4) Kas. Because you're a great person no matter what you say.
And
5) COMMANDER SOPHIA KEATING BECAUSE REVENGE And also because you're so good to me..)

Edward Fletcher said...

(You know why not)

Mercy: *sends a message into Loki's and Erebus's mind saying Inky wants you*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

That's it. Good enough Claire?

Edward Fletcher said...

(Hear hear)

Inky Flame said...

(hear hear Jai! and thanks...

dang it!)


*waits*

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Aww thanks Sil, that's sweet. I can handel reasonably likeable, most of the time. I did basically call you a bitch earlier :P)

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(Handle*
Hear Hear)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: *drinks*

Smith: *Sits quietly*

Inky Flame said...

*ben starts crying* I better go and sort out the children *runs to the nursery*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Yes. Yes you did Aria. And that hurt. It hurt very much.)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Tell me, are the children magic

John said...

*Fades out of the way of the beams and responds to Mercy with a mental blast of inhuman scale*

Star Inkbright said...

@Ed: Ooh. I'm not sure. I don't think I know Ed's powers as well as I know the others - well, I feel like I have a reasonable concept of Trip's and Alastair's, and I have a concept of how powerful Blake is - but with Ed it's a little more abiguous. I wouldn't say he's as powerful as Blake or Alastair, though, although I may be wrong due to not having a very good concept of how powerful Ed is with the full extent of his powers.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(*hugs Silente tightly* Thank you.)

Claire: Yep! It looks awesome. *smiles*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hear hear to everyone but me! And you're good to me, and everyone else too!)

(some time earlier:)

She's passing out now. Should we add...

The tattoos aren't permanent. Adding a few more won't change anything.

So I'll take this side...

And I'll take this one.

Memories,

Places,

Names,

And faces.

(*hugs tightly back* hehe. I'm still winning with the deds. The again, most of them I stole from you :P)


Okay. Good. That's Claire sorted. Salad..
*walks to the kitchen*
*makes a fruit salad, setting all seeds and pips aside to plan later*

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Star He isn't as powerful as Blake or Alastair. His power is to control time, that includes time travel and stopping time completely among other powers)

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: A werewolf? Interesting. And Tegan can control time?

Inky Flame said...

yes...Lilith is a succubus

Star Inkbright said...

@Ed: Yes, I was right. :) :)
Time travel is a powerful power to have, though. :O

Edward Fletcher said...

Mercy: Very interesting. Have you considered training them for their powers?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Indeed, Silente.)

Bethany: You don't have to make it...


Phaestra: Give up, Erebus. You are not welcome here. *raises her hand, casting an orb of light in the sky which showers Blogland in light*

Edward Fletcher said...

(@Star It is, he jut doesn't use it to full power, he can also harness time energy and paradoxes as energy)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I want to.
*mixes all the ingredients then carried it to the table on a plate*
Done.
*gets a plate for the pizza too*

Inky Flame said...

I can teach Ben...but not the other two...

Edward Fletcher said...

(@J Damn sorry J, I am trying to keep up a few conversations)

Mercy: *collapses in agony*

John said...

Your light is not welcome anywhere.

*The sky goes dark, leaving not a trace of light save for the pinpricks created by Phaestra*

Unless you somehow manage to awaken and turn one of my siblings against me you have no chance.

Ariadne Silver - Goddess of Passion said...

(I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'm sorry for hurting your feelings *hugs*)

EREBUS! LET ME OUT OF THIS STUPID DOME!
*sighs*
Well, I did give him a chance.
*A hole appears underneath her and she falls through it, appearing just outside the dome*

Inky Flame said...

*looks at Mercy: what is wrong?

Edward Fletcher said...

Smith: It appears Erebus says no

John said...

(Trust me it's fine.)

Inky Flame said...

*passes Ben to Smith*
*kneels down and helps Mercy* shall I get you something?

Edward Fletcher said...

(@J has Erebus stopped the pain in Mercys mind?)

Smith: I ... don't know what t... to do

John said...

*Appears behind Ariadne, his left hand holding her arm in a painful position while in his right he holds a blade to her throat*

Welcome back to the fray.

Inky Flame said...

Just hold him for now
*ben looks up at Smith*
