Just to let you know that World Book Day is this Thursday (well, it is in this part of the world, anyway) and to celebrate Alex Barclay and myself will be holding two events. The first, in Kildare, is pretty much sold out, but the second one is in Easons in O'Connell Street, Dublin, at 6 PM. We'll be there, talking about... stuff... and books... and writing... and, er... annnnnyway...
Because this is somewhat last minute, I'm not expecting that many people to turn up to the Dublin event, which means it'll be a lot more casual and chatty than usual. If you're interested, get in touch with Easons to reserve a place, and we'll see you there.
Toodles.

«Oldest ‹Older 4801 – 4966 of 4966*smiles* I don't often see many kids my age either! I just usually see my little sister and parents...nice to meet you all. (they're mortal i assume?)
It is rather lovely, isn't it, Star?
*looks at Ibrahim, taking out a sheet with everyone's name on it, and beginning to administer the vaccines*
Ibrahim: It wasn't pretty. We had to leave in a hurry... Everything was lost.
Well, that's... That's unfortunate. No losses?
Ibrahim: No, thankfully. I'm glad we all are safe. Thank you for doing this, again.
*shrugs* I'm a Doctor.
((They are, Alexis))
*the girls tackle Alexis, all of them playing with her hair*
Adra: *looks at Star and co. Actually... You all don't have to stay if you don't want to. They had to leave their old home a few days ago, I'm just here for a check- in...
*scorpion begins to lay eggs on top of the bar* brb
It's odd, though. At first I thought Hunter wanted to say it, but then I realised it was more an Ez thing to say and Hunter wouldn't be sure enough to say it, but then I realised that Ez would never care enough to email, so then I wanted Morgan to email, even though none of you have never met her and she doesn't really talk to people . . . but it just seemed to click. And then I thought, if I'm going through all these options, maybe it's just me who wants to email and none of them want to, so maybe I should just stop making them do stuff . . . but I kind of think Morgan should have emailed. Never mind. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: :(
I'm sorry they had to leave . . .
And, I'm ine staying. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*yelps giggling* Why are you all liking my hair? *is confused* My hair is seriously that soft?
I like Niccolo so emailing him didn't terrify me....he's kind
That's cool, then. Just don't go outside the radius here... It's about half a mile. Outside of it.. Disease. Then you'll have to get vaccines.
Maria: It's just so pretty! *they begin braiding lots of little braids*
*lets them actualy enjoying it* You have pretty hair too, all of you
*starts unloading crates, whispers in Adra's ear as he goes past* Mortal?
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: Okay. :) Thanks.
@Zaf: That's good. :) Must have been an interesting experience for you . . .
*decide to email Ari asking*
#ChaseForBookNine
*scorpion finishes laying eggs on bar and jumps down to ground* that, is a problem *scorpion launches sting into ground*
Maria: No we don't! We have shampoo, yes... But we can only filter so much..
Joci: But yours... *plays with it*
Adra: Yep. But they're cool. They know about magic.
I like him I do wish when he comes to figure out what he was trying to say last night like it was weird
... Adra...
*a rather attractive young man walks over to Star, poking her nose*
I wish I could help you guys! But you all are pretty in your own ways.
*nearly drops her vaccine, clearing her throat*
Goddamn
*speeds up the vaccine process*
EM! *hugs*
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT ENOUGH TO COME HERE! *hugs* :)
@Zaf: :/ I know what you mean.
#ChaseForBooKNine
*the girls giggle and circle around her*
Joci: So- tell us. Out there... Are there cute- *giggles* Boys?
Maria: OR GIRLS
Is it me or was he getting at something?
@Random nose-poking man: *blinks* Um. Hello?
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: Niccolo is very complex, so to be frank, I don't have a clue. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh thank Khorne! *energy lofts all the crates and such to their intended locations*
#ChaseForBook9
(*hugs Star* Yes and I have come on to wreck havoc onto Adra. I'm getting there)
You've been ignoring me Adra, that's not good lover
Msd, btw. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*the guy looks confusedly at Star then kisses her cheek, running off to the guys, who are laughing at him as he blushes furiously*
*hugs Em* :)
Um. Well, I shall stand here and watch havoc? :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*grins* Well not our age...he's way older like 20 or...no...521 years old to be exact but he's my brother!
Hi Em! You're okayish! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Excuse you, creep. But I'm a bit busy.
*finishes with the vaccines, breathing out and wiping away the thin sheen of sweat on her forehead despite the coolness of the air*
Right...
He confuses me! Like he wants me to help him? Im lost WHY must Niccolo be confusing?
@Random man: *blinks again* Um. *waves at him as he runs off*
#ChaseForBookNine
*calls over to Alexis* Hey! Aren't I cute? *laughs, moving on*
#ChaseForBook9
@Zad: Because otherwise, he wouldn't be Niccolo. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Are all guys this confusing?
And yet your body does not lie
(I'm not really Trip but I'm resting. And since it's so boring in hospitals, I thought I would roleplay *hugs*)
back in a bit
*grins at Trip* You are cute, and I can attest to that.
Joci: Ooh! *giggles*
Maria: What about that Jenny L. lady Adra has told us about? I heard she's a really pretty actress
She is I think..I never met her..you'd think I'd meet really cool people but with Mom being Grand Mage...I meet some people from other Councils...like Ravel *giggles*
@Zaf: All people are this confusing. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Thank you darling. Hear that Deacon? Because I know you're in there. I'm. Cute. And I didn't even have to brainwash her to get her to say that.
#ChaseForBook9
*coughs, covering up a laugh, her hand red with blood*
*Quickly wraps it up*
You make me laugh, Deacon. By the way, what's up with the fever and the illness?
*mumbles* Here we go Em tormenting Adra as if we need her doing that again. So boring! *decides to go to tteehouse*
I hope Niccolo comes on soon
((I hope you feel better soon, Em.))
((Not here, sorry))
#ChaseForBook9
(Zaf, can you stop trolling? I'm not getting into a discussion, but please?)
#ChaseForBook9
((Nope! I speak my mind))
((Zaf, please don't start this... Em just got back... :( ))
((Sorry I'll just go ten dare I make more lives miserable))
(Good idea Zaf.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh don't start, please. Stay. But don't be mean... I don't care if you're mean to me, but Em's still recovering in her hospital room... Do it later, when she isn't here. Please.))
Oh, can we PLEASE not argue?
#ChaseForBookNine
((Its just I dont know I'm always causing hate even Trip wants me gone))
((We just want to RP. I know you do too. But we can't if you're being mean... We can't ever finish this because Em always leaves because of a fight. So if another breaks out... We'll never finish this and I really wanna see what happens. I'm sorry Ari isn't here and you don't like me, but you like Em. So do it for her))
(I don't want you gone, but I thought that you taking some time out to cool down was a good idea.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Yeah well it gets boring sitting here while you have fun almost every day....whatever continue I'll just sit here as I do everytime Em comes on and you RP I'll watch Half-Blood Prince maybe someone will come on...I would go o Minecraft but its being a buttface and not loading))
Joci: ravel? *grins* Who's he?
*the girls lean in*
Abi Alton <3
#ChaseForBook9
((We aren't excluding you... You totally can be part of this, but you just... You have to know that well, a,) insults can sometimes be taken personally, even in RP, and b,) this is Em's plot... She's entitled to do what she wants. We do want to RP with us... But... *shrugs*))
I am sick of this. If people argue, I am going to ignore them. Then, maybe they'll stop. Everybody's in the right and everybody's in the wrong. It's like one of those drawings . . . like the one where if you look at it one way you see an old woman and if you look at it another way you see a young woman in a hat. People are right in ways and wrong in ways.
I'm not sure how this links back o what I was originally saying, so what I'll now say is: if anyone gets upset, I maybe shall be more involved as I don't like people being upset, but mostly, I shall just stay out of it. Unless I change my mind. I can only say how I feel now; I can't see the future. But if I don't, I'll stay out of it.
. . .
You know, me rambling off took all the effectiveness out of this comment. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Grand Mage of Ireland...*smiles*
(Zaf, you have to make your part of the roleplay. Know when it's someone else's turn to take the spotlight, but at the same time, when it is your turn, only take up as much of it as you should. We won't hand you your lines, you make them.*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh God, /again/? -.-
#ChaseForBook9
Joci: *squeals* TELL ME WHAT HE IS LIKE
*Pouts* He stole the sword back...
Mara!! *Tacklehugs* How was Derek!?
(I will say no more on the subject.)
#ChaseForBook9
((Ha! Yeah she made it clear I'm not wanted in it I can try to join but I'm ignored so I sit here because it causes her to finish her plot I thought once he died it was over but nope once again you Trip and Em...so as I said go RP i'll watch HP until someone comes on))
((No Mara... We almost have it settled. Em will be back in a sec then we're continuing regardless))
((Whatever want to do, then Zaf))
Anyway. Mars! WELCOME TO AFRICA
Wbd/msd... I've got school today...))
Next post link?
Very very charming and very good looking. Also...pretty happy. He studied Elemental magic which is like manipulating the elements. *grins* I met his two of his daughters. He's really nice!
IVE GOT SCHOOL TODAY AS WELL
FML
*hugs Death* Amazing! :D
I gave him a note and in it, it says "Death says hi, and thank you" :)
#ChaseForBook9
@Zaf: I'm not trying to criticise you in any way, just maybe explain things better (yes, I changed my mind^^^ *facepalm*). And . . . your plot rarely changes much (it does change, just not much), and often involves just you and Niccolo (which you can't really help). Therefore, people find other ways in which to occupy themselves as they aren't (usually, soemtimes) involved in your plots. Also, when Ari isn't here, your plots (sometimes) go nowhere as they (often) need her, so people can't go anywhere with yours (which isn't your fault) and so they invent their own.
Also, there is one of you, and three of Em, Adra and Trip. So it stands to reason that we would do their plots more, as there are more of them who all have different plots.
I didn'tmean any offense at all, t anyone. If I caused any, I'm very sorry . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
((Kk Rose! Hi))
*stands up, stretching her arms and taking a bowl of soup from a woman offering it*
*drinks from the bowl as villagers come around, handing out bowls*
*Glowers at Connor and wifi* Dad turned off the wifi and you stole the sword back... That. Is. Mean! Mainly the wifi bit, but still! *Springs at Connor, knocking him down* Evil! *Laughs*
Africa...? :P
#ChaseForBook9
Joci: he sounds like a babe.
Maria: *rolls her eyes, shoving Joci aside*
What about the pretty actresses??
((No we havent because what pisses me off everytime I dare participate she ignores me so she wants me to sit here because HER plot is going? I mean I never do that if someone joined in I wouldn't ignore them. So thats what pisses me off I sit because HER plot goes on. ))
(Yay!! Thank you Mara!! I love you!! *Huggles*
Hi, Adra!))
-runs over with six ducks behind me, grabs a bowl, throws it to the ground-
I DONT NEED YOUR HANDOUTS!
(jk)
MARA! *hugs* DEATH! *hugs*
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
Why do you lie to him Adra? It's pathetic at times.
*Deacon gives Adra the sensation of him nibbling her ears*
(And I apologize in advance everyone but Deacon is a horny, perverted and sadistic character and this is how he is messing with Adra.
Again apologies in advance!!)
Africa. One of the villages I look after experienced... Difficulty and I had to stop in with extra food and water and vaccines
Thanks. *makes bowing motion with head then drinks the soup*
#ChaseForBook9
Well...I really don't watch much movies because nowadays bad things are on tv so I try not to watch...but they are pretty actresses.
Well, that sword is not to be touched by anyone other than me. If it is, that person will be killed.
But there's an exception for you. c:
Gtg D: night *hugs everyone*
#ChaseForBook9
JENNIFER ANISTON LOOKS LIKE A HORSE
let's be honest here
*flicks her ear*
Fuck you, Deacon. You don't even know what it's like to actually care about someone I bet..
Night Mara!
Night Mara!
#ChaseFoorBook9
Ah... *Nods and shies away* Kill me later, okay? I'm actually in quite an impressive mood... *Leaps up and extends a hand for Connor*
Maria: DO YOU HAVE A PHONE
((Night Mars!))
Night Mara!
See exactly why I hate when she does plots * sits in treehouse totally bored*
@Zaf: When you make it clear you don't want to join in, people a) get offended and b) assume you're not that into it and don't want to do much.
Once again, no offense intended. I just think that if I try and explain the other side to people, maybe they'll get it. :)
*doesn't have much to explain to Adra atm; it's not that I'm picking on you, it's just that you're the one who feels darkened most*
#ChaseFOrBookNine
Connor, I have some choice words for you. Words. Which I have chosen, which express my point of view.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes I do actually! *takes out iPhone*
I said I did but she has done nothing to even attempt to let me in its oh Zaf's joining ignore Zaf she'll go away.
*the girls oooooohhh, looking over her shoulder*
Joci: do you have One Direction?
Maria: No, not them- Maroon 5!
Leni: The Beatles!
Georgina: NO.
GUYS.
GUYS.
WE NEED THE SAFETY DANCE
((Most of this Deacon thing is being conducted inside other people's minds, which I can't see inside; I'm not trying to ignore you, I just can't participate much. Sorry))
*takes deep breath and attempts to go back to ignoringness as far as people having a go at people is concerned, as I don't want my patience to wear out*
#ChaseForBookNine
*Looks down at her arm, tracing the symbols* They work... They actually work... *Laughs softly*
((Zaf please stop. It doesn't matter what happened then. Em is literally about to blow your face off. I wouldn't deny her. Please just stop fighting. You know she can see you, and you are using that. Please stop fighting))
So, you know how you've saved Obama's life and all, so have I. Except, guess what I've also saved? The world. On my own, without any help, 15 times. How many times have you done that? How many crime lords have you taken down? 37. I lost count of the amount of times I helped save the world.
So, what did you do? Sure, I bet you'll go on to do great things, but at the moment, you're just a kid. A kid who needs to prove himself. A kid who needs to earn my respect, just like everyone else.
So, you may have done some cool shit, but you have nothing, nothing, on me. Is that understood? (RP)
#ChaseForBook9
One at a time *laughs* i have a lot of music just tell me calmly.
Doesnt matter she always hates me! It doesnt make me feel any better continue talk secrets too! *shakes head*
The girls: *nods* SHAKIRA
*Grabs out her laptop and climbs tree, placing computer on her lap. Scrolls through pages in her browser and starts reading more about sigils and their construction*
*grins and puts on one of the songs by her* There.
That's not true. I cared about Rigor's mother, immensely! But then she was hunted down and torn apart for her scales and fire.
Now I don't give a fuck about anything or anyone. Except now.
You are strangely growing on me Adra...
*the girls begins dancing, pulling Alexis to her feet, swinging her around*
Adra: *nods, standing up and checking her watch* Give it about thirty minutes... It'll be getting late soon
*dances with the girls* This is actually fun!
*murmurs sarcastically* Yay me
JENNIFER ANISTON LOOKS LIKE A HORSE
let's be honest here
*walks over to Trip's side* Real quick- whatever happened to all of your... Friends? *shrugs*
Friends?
#ChaseForBook9
@Connor: How would you like it is somewhere, people were talking about how you looked like a horse?
It's rude to criticise how people look, and despite the facts that looks don't matter, people feel as though they matter, so you're breaking people's feelings.
#ChaseForBookNine
Er... The hooded people. *sheepishly* I had to take a call and missed introductions
Question: after this is full where are we going?
Oh yeah, the tartan cleavers and the greyjackets. Um, well they all went home. You know, mission's over, need a bit of r and r.
#ChaseForBook9
-chuckles-
I've saved the world from nuclear attacks 6 times, I've stopped bombings 8 times and I have also taken down a man who was attempting to collect a massive amount of children, and then kill them. Three times.
And "I'm still a boy", am I? I didn't know that being alive for 200 years was still considered as "a boy".
*Joci and Maria rather skilfully move around in intricate words around the clearing*
*they dash around Alexis*
Down to the next available one Dragona.
#ChaseForBook9
And yes, I haven't lost count yet. But that's because I'm not as shit as you are at maths.
(This is all rp, just so you know, Trip)
Ah. *nods*
*looks between Connor and Trip* Right... Tuck them away, boys. This isn't a competition
-hand reaches for my blade, fingers twitching on the cold metal-
*yawns* Still, sorry to say, nothing on me. I did nukes three times. Lost count of bombings, and the children one. Actually, I got them all while they were in the planning stage. It's kind of my job, to arrest them before they do anything.
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs and peeks over her computer screen* And I'm usually the one trying to destroy the world, blow up the world... With this! *Tosses armed bomb between Trip and Connor*
Go to your room on your own and I'll show you how lucky you are
*Deacon shows Adra the image of him kissing her neck*
Damnnn . . . now I'm actually EMAILING Ari, or Morgan is, I forgot half the stuff that was going to be said. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Rose! How are you?
*grins* You really don't want to fight me. Really.
I just wanted to clear the air.
#ChaseForBook9
*is rather intrigued by this watching as I dance*
*stiffens* Oh gods smite me now
Maria: *spins Alexis around, singing with everyone else*
Um, guys, can we not fight? Pride is not worth killing people over. Or proving a point. Or whatever you want to call it. This doesn't have to be settled with weapons.
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs* Sup Dragona? I'm good! I'm good! I'm learning symbols and sigils irl!!
*energy holds the bomb in a bubble* Calm down there Death.
#ChaseForBook9
*Grins at Ari* That's why I'm blowing 'em up! *Pulls out detonator*
*takes Trip's arm, dragging him away* No.
I don't really want to fight either Ari.
#ChaseForBook9
*Purses lips to hide the grin* Im perfectly calm, Trip! I've just got a few spare bombs!
*bubble holds the explosion in, fracturing a little, but still holding in place*
#ChaseForBook9
I reserve the right that I am the only person on here to have saved the galaxy three times. Admittedly not in the SP universe but meh.
You think you are good and clean but you know that I showed you a more fun part of yourself.
You loved that darker side and the fact that your body isn't doing a good job of oppressing it like you are trying to do, tells me that I'm right.
Give into me Adra. I know that's all you've been thinking about
Well that's good, Trip, but if that's the case you probably shouldn't keep listing accomplishments. It's only going to make things more heated.
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, that's probably true Ari.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Ari and I have stopped I'm not fighting anyone I'm now thinking about last night
No way in hell, Deacon. *narrows her eyes, dropping Trip's arm and heading for the portal*
Hey Zaf! Yeah, that was interesting, wasn't it...
#ChaseForBook9
Is it weird that I know when Deacon is talking to you because little spikes of resentment and embarrassment emanate from you?
#ChaseForBook9
It was! I really want to continue that...I have it nagging at me all day that he was going somewhere with that and I'm maf I had to leave before I found out
*walks into the kitchen, eating a carrot*
It isn't fun.
*Looks at her backpack and grins mischievously. Disappears into the shadows, planting bombs*
*screams in horror*
LSODM IS BY FAR THE MOST HORRIFIC BOOK EVER
OH GOD
NO
NO
NO
NO
NO
#ChaseForBook9
*Deacon kisses Adra's lips and can feel her giving in a little*
Yum... carrot. *Deacon chuckles*
((*hugs Mars* oh dear))
Oh no you don't Death. *follows death, diffusing bombs, silently behind her*
#ChaseForBpook9
Mara I take your word for it my copy hasn't even come if it doesnt by Wednesday I'm flipping on Amazon
*screams, throwing the carrot across the room*
NO
NO
