Behold the awesome!
On April 5th, in London, as part of my tour, we are offering a day at the movies, where I will be discussing the many movie influences that have shaped my life and, more specifically, that have shaped the Demon Road trilogy.
We are breaking the day into two halves.
At 1 PM, younger readers, accompanied by an adult, can go to the Picturehouse Cinema in London and experience 80's comedy-horror classic GREMLINS on the big screen...! It'll be my first time seeing it up there too — I've only ever seen this film on TV, so I am HUGELY excited.
Desolation will be available to buy, I'll be doing a Q&A, and signing whatever you have. It's going to be FUN.
And then we'll be repeating the format at 8:30 that night, when we'll be showing the original A Nightmare on Elm Street to a STRICTLY over-18 crowd...!
Again, I was too young to see this in the movies when it came out, and as one of my all time favourite horrors, I can't wait to see this in all its glory.
Come! See Johnny Depp get blender-ised in his Bed of Death!
Naturally, anyone 18 or over can come to both movies and make a day of it — as I will be — but sadly the younger Minions can not savour the delights of Freddy Krueger — at least not until you're older...

@Jai: . . . ? *hugs*
@Noelle: You okay?
@Keiron: :P Well that was clever.
:) Good luck. I hope you manage to get it done.
(*hugs people very gently*)
My stomach?
It feels like it did last August. That is legitimately the only feeling I can relate it to.
*Is in a fetal position in bed*
(* boils kettle pours full jug of cooffee in *pours ful jug of sugar in then adds a sprits of milk to cool it* this will need to do )
it's for all day dn't worry ... I use my therma cup thingamabobber )
@Noelle: :( :( :( *looks concerned* *doesn't know how to help it :/*
(*offers Noelle a hug..*)
Msd.
*appreciates hugs*
( also star I know they might not have them but at the same time they do ... a car that has been treated badly will like being treaded nicely like a dog, it won't like being starved or not driven, or given the wrong food.... treat cars properly... they can be your friends )
@Keiron: :P If you say so.
( Omfg why did no one tell me whipped cream in coffee was so amazing )
(Maybe bevause I don't like whipped cream or coffee? :P
( well from someone who likes both if you add them together you get this little tingly feeling in your head that lets you know that you can write and understand again )
@Keiron: :)
*Adra is standing outside the lab, gently rocking her baby boy in her arms* *He is so sweet, and he's just gotten a splinter that she has removed* *Sets him back on the ground, and holds both hands as he walks* *He's so cute* *He crouches, picking a flower*
(Hi.
*is never here because TEST Squadron*
*misses people who are here*)
(Hello, Kas~)
*He's so soft, and he sits in the grass* *He's such a beautiful little boy, and she lets him sit in her lap, helping him make crowns out of the flowers* *She braids them into one another for him to play with* *He is rather fascinated with a ladybug on one's stem* *She just claps and plays*
*Then he wants to run around a little bit, and then he wants to sit, then he wants I run around, then sit* *he can't make up his mind*
*Ariana was pacing around her room. Her wings nervously fluttering as she paced. She could hear her mother violently coughing next door, this had been going on for a half hour. She took out her phone and opened her messenger.*
SilverAngel: Hi, are you there? I don't know what to do, mam isn't getting better but dad won't let me near her.
BlackWolf: You need to do your thing. Obviously what the docs are doing isn't helping her. She NEEDS you Ari.
SilverAngel:.... I think you're right...
*She put her phone on her bed as she took deep breaths. She slowly opened her bedroom door as she watched Lorcan head downstairs to get more towels, fresh water and Casha's medication. She came out of her room and entered her parents room.*
*She gently holds her baby boy as he plays with the flowers, and holds the little bug for him to see* *The sunrays shine through the roof onto their bit of the ground, where the floorboards had long rotted away into the soil* *Soft grass, and the young boy enjoys the feel of it beneath his feet* *Brushes his hair with a hand, and reaches into their picnic basket, getting out a little sandwich for him to nibble on* *Cleans his hands off, first, though.8
^stares*
Still at practice its 8:36pm we won't be done until 9:30!
*slowly collapses to the ground*
*is a pile of what was Zaf*
*her sword hits her*
Damn it! I'm a guy in Camelot....
*Ariana went in slowly. Casha was fast asleep, probably passed out from the pain of coughing. Ariana sat on the bed and took hold of her mother's hand, she rubbed the back of it gently as she closed her eyes too.
Instantly she felt the connection with her mother and was now free to move around inside her to see what was making her sick. She then found this huge black mass just covering her mother's nervous system. Ariana touched it to try and push it away and out of her mother but the black mass instantly clung to her and started soaking into her.
Finally. You have arrived.
*Ariana tried to pull away but this mass was enveloping her quickly the more she pulled.*
Ariana. Don't fight it. This is my gift to you. I can show you what you really can do. Just embrace it. Or else it stays in your mother.
*Ariana stopped. She didn't want her mother to be sick forever. And she did admit, the thought of seeing what she could really do was tempting her immensely. She stopped fighting altogether and let this mass swallow her completely. It hit her so hard, she was thrown back and her connection with her mother lost.
Ariana came too and she felt different. Stronger. Darker. More empowered. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror on the wall and she gasped slightly. Her hair and wings were now pitch black and her purple coloured eyes were jet black also. She smirked slightly, she liked the look.
She froze when she heard Lorcan coming towards the room. But she didn't panic. She took a breath and clicked her fingers. She became invisible as her father walked in and she walked out, neither one noticing the other. She became visible again when she entered her room.*
Come and find me Ariana. I'm not far. You'll know where to go.
*She smirked again as she stretched her wings and dived out of the window, effortlessly flying over the forest.*
(Oh fuck, Em it's like Venom from Spider-Man with Tobey)
*Adra does feel a slight shift in what she can only describe as the energy of the earth* *She shivers, and takes the baby* *Creates a small portal, and places him back into his crib from there* *She needs him in the lab, safe, for now* *Closes the portal again*
(+pops in* hello?)
-when you go have too much food and ten instantly regret it-
-when you have o burn it all off-
(Hola Noelle ^.^)
(How are you?)
As I typically am
(I see
Sports relief is so sad... Kids dying in Africa...)
Children die everywhere, all the time.
Adults die everywhere, all the time.
:/
I ate more today than I have in the past week
Which isn't a lot, and not hard to surpass
But I had to exercise off 1000 calories...
Ahhhh
It's good that my stomach is growling
Please don't deprive yourself, angel... I know you want to lose weight, and it's hard for you to justify eating, but eating healthily will better for you than not eating at all. I love you dearly, and really all I hope for is that you are happy and can perhaps feel a bit better. *hugs gently*
yo
(Hello?)
(*sits by self and plays imwith string* )
am somewhat here. Maybe
*hums to self*
sup
(How come whenever I leave people appear?!)
@Chloe: erm . . . well maybe we live in a multiverse and in an alternate universe they don't appear, so maybe they both leave and don't leave when you appear. :O
Hi?
(Hey starry ^.^)
hi
:Hey, how is you?)
(*nudges Chloe* You busy?)
I feel fine. Or rather I feel nothing. Idk ^_^ wbu?
(*is nudged* I am but I can rp
Im good
feel nothing?)
Erm yeah sorry forgot I was here :(
(Dim problem Star XD)
(Oh, if you're busy then it's okay.)
(Nah, im working on the computer so its okay ^.^ and I have all day to finish this, and I don't have much to do so I can take my time)
yeah. When i touch something, it feels like it's not even there. when i smell something, it doesn't smell good or bad. When i taste something, there's no discernible flavor. I feel like if the closest people to me were murdered right in front of my eyes, I wouldn't bat as much as an eyelid. The only thing i have left is anger. Or maybe that was the only thing to begin with ^_^ Not that it's a bad thing. Or a good things. It just is.
(JAAAAAAAAAAACK! *GLOMPS AND SHOWERS IN KISSES*)
(try meditating
its soothing for the soul)
(*blinks at the coupliness*)
Wow, my comment was the 666th. What are the chances.
(*rolls eyes*)
(Weird couple people.
Okay then Chloe and Jack, rp?)
heh. I've been meditating. That's what got me to this point. The point of realization so to speak.
(Is there anything wrong with weirdness?
I will gladly rp ^.^
life isn't as bed as you think, Fera..)
*bad
(No, of course there isn't.
Okay :) Which characters?)
(SEEEEEEEEEEEE
Up to you ^.^
Jack said he had to disappear but he will be back later)
(*pokes Chloe's nose*
But there is maybe an issue with being smug.
Hmmmmmmm
Something dramatic needs to happen.)
*thoughtfully* I don't think I can meditate through normal means bevause I can't think properly when I'm sitting still. I'm a chronic fiddler. XD However, you know when you just sort of start tearing your skin apart and it's like you disappear into a Zone? Maybe not. Well, I think that may be kind of the same thing.
There's generally only three things I have to stop roleplaying for:
- Meals at home (my family wouldn't let me on my phone through them)
- Some lessons (I can be online through 50% of maths, 100% of physics, 0% of chemistry, 0% of General Studies and 50% of biology).
- Skin picking
And why is it easier for me to be online in the shower than it is for me to be online when I'm sat there with my phone right next to me with no restrictions? Because of the Zone.
I think that's significant.
. . .
*goes back to physics*
Who said it was bad? I've simply stated this: I can't feel anything, but anger. My point of view about that is quite neutral at the moment. I might be able to use it for the better. Who knows. For now, it's not bad or good.
Actually correct that to 25% of chemistry and 75% of maths.
(you are very thoughtful Star
Im not smuuug
Who's life have not messed up? Tawnee? Alys? Felix?)
(Anger is negative energy
and whatever energy you exert, good or bad will come back to you three fold
try and be happy and positive and see if your life improves)
I am done with that. I don't need it to improve. I like a challenge ;)
(Are too!
Tawnee lost Gar, leave her alone xD and Alys lost Vik
Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelix.. Hmmmm)
(life is challenging without being so... angry
but I haven't rped the gurlllls in aaaages)
(Ooookaaaaaaaaaaaay rp Alys?)
(Awkay ^.^ her life is the least screwed up I guess ^>^)
Alys: *is wondering around the woods*
I've learned how to contain my anger and release it all at the right moments. That's good enough for me. Dare i say that's the only thing that ever made me truly happy. The anger :)
(*frowns* how oxymoronic)
(*now needs to figure out how to screw it up for her xD*
*uuhhhhhhmmmm*)
AU!Sil: *watches her from the tree tops, moving silently from branch to branch, staying down wind*
Alys: *shifts into a fox and moves swiftly but cautiously*
Maybe :) But hey, that's just me.
@Chloe: I am. :P
Heyyy here's a question. If anger makes you feel good, is it a negative emotion or a positive emotion?
Dammit Fera got there first XD
AU!Sil: *grins upon seeing her shift*
Fox, hmmm?
(in my personal opinion, which im aware not everyone shares.... I believe the anger may sort of... 'fill you up' so you don't feel empty, because feeling empty is terrible. However I believe if you replace the anger with something that fills you with happiness instead you wil feel better)
Alys: *Stops and sniffs around*
AU!Sil: I could get a decent price for fox fur..
(*shudders at the idea of wearing fox fur*)
Alys: *hears her and bolts*
(poor Alys :'()
AU!Sil: *laughs, watching her run*
*jumps down, sprinting after her, using her vampiric speed to her advantage*
(*I literally have no idea what I'm doing*)
Alys: *growls softly and changes direction*
(Alys needs to be saved.. *thinks* where is Michael?)
I mean...I don't necessarily disagree chloe. But i don't even mind feeling empty in this scenario. I didn't choose to fill my emptiness. But i guess my body can't have me feeling nothing. It's kinda against human nature.
@Chloe: Yeah, but -
I listen music quite a lot. And mostly I just listen to rock and metal. I did spend a good year or two trying to have inclusive music tastes and like a wide variety of music, and have concluded that there are good songs in all music genres and good music can take many forms, but I am NATURALLY drawn to rock and metal and nowadays I don't even fight it. And there's a lot of things I like about these genres, and I like tons of different songs for different reasons. But I mostly listen to music for the emotion. Some music makes me happy, some music is more like reading a book and can make me cry and it's beautiful.
But you have some songs, and they're just intolerant and cruel and angry. And you know what? I really like listening to them precisely because of that. Bevause there's a certain pleasure in, just for three minutes, wanting to just /crush/ people. For me, it's as much anger as it is taking no shit and not having to give a fuck (I'm swearing fir effect there, by the way), but my point is, sometimes, anger can feel good. It can feel like a release and it can feel like pleasure.
How do you define positive emotion? Feeling positive, or having positive effect? Because I think that in some situations, anger can feel positive.
*goes off to listen to angry music because this conversation made me want to :P*
*nods at star* gonna leave as well. see ya.
(just.. try and find something to make you happy... not angry, genuinely happy
if you prefer anger after that, then fine, be angry
but I don't think anyone should be denied happiness)
(Bye guys)
AU!Sil: *laughs, the amusement she finds at Alys' determination spurring her on faster*
Michael: *is STILL lost in these woods*
*he's tired of tree's and of hiding from magic*
*it's exhausting for him; especially considering he woke up today with no supplies left and with a circle of felled trees around him*
*needless to say he'd ran off quickly*
Alys: *runs into Michael*
@Chloe: Yeah. I do get what you're saying, just playing devil's advocate. :P I do believe anger can give happiness. However, I believe, in general, that a person will be happier if they don't rely on anger as their main source of happiness
It's probably a bit like how drinking alcohol can make you happy but shouldn't rely on alcohol as a main source of happiness. :P
Michael: *cries out at randomly being ran into by a Fox*
*frowns*
The Hell?!?! You're a fox, how the HELL do you run into a person when you have instincts to avoid humans??
AU!Sil: *skids to a stop in front of Michael*
*immediately falls into innocent individual mode*
Oh good, you found my Fox! I was so worried when she got out!
Michael: Your.. Fox?
(Ah I get ya ^.^)
Fox: *Shifts and shakes* k keep her aw away from me!!!!!
*Alys
Michael: *stares at the fact the FOX just turned into a HUMAN*
Uh-uhm I don't think this is a fox miss.
AU!Sil: She's a relative.
Michael: *holds Alys tightly, standing up again*
I highly doubt that. You should leave.
AU!Sil: Not until you give her BACK
@Chloe: :)
*laughs at roleplay*
Alys: I I heard you! *whimpers and looks at Michael* d don't let h her skin m me...
(poor Michael XD)
:P Ikr.
Michael: Skin you?!?!
*pales drastically, struggling to think through the shock*
AU!Sil: Please, she's scared and she hasn't had her medication yet today..
Michael: Back off miss!
AU!Sil: *her features darken*
Fine.
(noot noot )
Alys: *pulls a leaf from her tail and uses it to create fox fire*
*forgets shes naked*
*ooooooof course she is*
AU!Sil: *narrows her eyes at the fire, shadows swelling up around them*
Hand. Over. The. Girl.
Michael: *his eyes widen at the shadows and sparkling mist swirls around them all*
Just back away..
Alys: *the fire launches at Sil* keep a away!
Michael: *Winces at the fire*
*still thinks of magic as a VERY bad thing*
AU!Sil: *shadows rise and engulf the flame*
Or what, pest.
Michael: *closes his eyes, imagining a giant and natural divide growing between AU!Sil and them*
*the mist swarms before them, solidifying, weaving roots, thorns, and impassable wall of magic and plants*
*opens his eyes, shaking*
Run, now!
Alys: *panics and bolts*
Michael: *sits heavily on his butt, putting his head in his hands*
AU!Sil: *snarls angrily at the wall*
YOU'RE DEAD KID!
Alys: *stops when she realises he isn't following*
*runs back~* what a a are you waiting f f for?!
Michael: *stares at her wide eyed*
LIFE TO MAKE SENSE!
AU!Sil: It will make sense once I SNAP YOUR SCRAWNY NECK!
Alys: c come on!
Michael: *grimaces and stumbles up, taking her hand and running quickly with her, looking for somewhere safe*
((*laughs*
Poor Michael.))
Alys: n my place? *runs*
Michael: O-okay..
*waits to follow her*
Alys: *runs west of where they were heading*
Michael: *stumbles under the weight of his backpack, forcing his legs to run faster*
*there's a loud bang as a hole is blasted through the barrier*
Alys; q quickly! *reaches her tree and runs inside with him*
*seals the door with a charm*
Michael: *leans against the wall, panting, his bag dragging him down*
Alys: t thank you
Michael: It's okay, all I really did was run.
Alys; *realises she's naked and shrieks*
*runs into her room*
Michael: *blushes and shrugs off his backpack, groaning and curling up slightly*
Alys; *comes back wearing a dress* c can I I get you something?
Michael: *looks up at her*
Wait.. so.. you're a fox..?
Alys: s sort. Of... Kitsune... Fox d demon
M my name I is Alys.,. You?
Michael: You're a demon?!?!
*stares*
Alys: y yes...? W who are you?
Michael: You aren't evil are you?!?!
*shrinks back*
Don't hurt me..
XD Poor Michael . . .
I do like Michael for some reason.
*sips tea*
*gets bored of sipping and gulps tea*
Alys; n no.. *steps backward* I if anything... I s should be scared o of you!
(I'm glad you like him.)
Michael: I-I just saved you and I'm not a demon! Why should you be scared?!
Alys: I I don't like h humans... Humans k killed my family... My h human boyfriend l left me ... I c can't trust t them
Michael: Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that Alys..
Alys; *looks to the floor* I g guess it I isn't your fault...
Michael: Well.. at least you're safe now.
Alys: c can I get you a anything?
(Sorry, was eating.)
Michael: No, I'm okay thank you..I'm Michael.
( that's okay)
Alys: n nice to m meet y you
Michael: Thanks, you have a nice.. tree.
Alys: t thank you
I it's a bit lonely a a at times...
Michael: Maybe you should get a pet. They're meant to make good friends?
Alys: m maybe...
(Lilo means lost..)
Michael: and you'd probably get on with animals..?
(Awww)
Alys: a animals d don't trust f foxes
Michael: Foxes kinda do? A dog probably would if you raised it from a puppy.
Alys: animals d don't like demons
Michael: Yeah but puppies are really friendly..
Alys: t true.. S so... U um... W what are you? Y you d did t that thing back t t there..
Michael: I.. I'm..
*shrugs*
Broken. I'm looking for someone to fix me..
((But if you have a puppy
You do not kick it
And you sure are fucking hell do not shoot it in the leg!!!!
*glares at Darren*
*distantly dropping in every now and then; not fully here*))
Alys: h how are t you b broken?
Michael: My dreams, nightmares, imaginings.. they hurt people. They aren't good. The mist.. the mist hides monsters.
Alys: c can you control I it at a all?
(Um.. I have problem. I have a book out from the school library, I only just began reading it and page 4 fell out..)
Michael: Not really
(Discreetly place it back and pretend it didn't happen?)
Alys: w when did t this start?
(I have done.. oopsies.)
Michael: it started when I was eight
Alys: E eight? S so y young..
Michael: *shrugs, hanging his head*
I didn't understand.. neither did my family.. it killed them..
Alys: I I'm s sorry ... *looks upset*
Michael: it's okay. I'm living with it.
Alys: I I can t try and h help..
Michael: How?
Alys: I I am a g good listener a and h herbologist... I c could make t you s something g to s stop nightmares ...
Michael: Can you make something to stop imagination and dreams?
(Nos da(
(Nos da...)
(Pages from library books have fallen out for me before :) if it's only one page they probably won't notice so it's fine.)
That moment when you're at 136
And then fuck it up
Ah!!!
137,6
Okay, that is at least progress. Hopefully by Monday it will be down past 136
( if you men your weight I'm worried for you ... what height are you ? )
Noelle- Don't feel bad, your number often does a roller coaster it's totally normal it could even be the clothing you wear
Not that tall, unfortunately.. I'm only 67 inches.
And- Zaf- I always weigh myself without clothes on. Weird, I know, possibly tmi, I know, but I also want to get an actual idea.
(*67 inches is 5'5" very nearly 5'6"*
*thinks that is tall personally*)
67 inches is 5'7" which is about 5.58 feet, because there are 12 inches in a foot and 7/12 is close to .58
'Muricans are weird and don't use the metric system.
Though I do think base 12 would generally be easier than base 10 because 12 is so much more easily divisible by things. That's not really the point though. At this point, we use base 10 for everything, so switching would be a poor idea and confuse people, even if it was switching to a system that made more sense.
...
It's a bit above average I think.
I'm like 5'8"-5'9" and I'm taller than a lot of people but I'm usually not the tallest in the room.
Oh I googled this once and apparently five foot four is average for a women and five foot nine is average for a man. I'm about five foot two.
Morning.
(5'11" here, y'all are short.
And yes, us 'Muricans are weird for not using the metric system like 99% of the rest of the world. Cause we just haaaaaaaaaad to be different.)
(John what the hell are you doing up at this time? O.o)
(Well, I'm certainly not sleeping.)
(Whyyyyy?)
Sorry i just have to get this to say Happy Birthday Keiron <3
(I dunno cause I don't feel tired yet? It'll probably hit me like a truck any minuet now.)
(Oh gee there it is, sleep time now bye.)
-sighs- so i can't dedicate a page to my boyfriend on his birthday? Whenever i talk about him you're just gonna stop talking to me again?
Fantastic.
-mutters- I was gonna do it before you came on anyway.
