Imagine

Apparently I'll be appearing at the Imagine Festival in London this Monday, the 17th. I had a blast last year, where I showed clips from movies, but I'm not entirely sure what I'll do this time. I might read from one of the new short stories. I'd read from the ninth book, but there is nothing from the early sections finished, and anything read from later on would be a spoiler, so...

Oh, and speaking of Book 9, I have just reached the 75,000 word mark. Judging by this, the finished book will be at least 100,000 words, which is Mortal Coil length, and could be longer. LSODM will stay the longest, I reckon, simply because of the massive amount of characters involved. But because most of those characters are now DEAD, Book 9 allows me a smaller, more intimate story — while remaining as heart-rendingly traumatic as anything I've written before.

And speaking of heart-rendingly traumatic, I've actually written the last few chapters. Not to completion, of course, but I've written enough to know what happens, and how it ends, and who lives and who dies, and all I can say is...

I am MEAN.

Hey Moss!

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

I love blog land. Everyone is so accepting and don't care if you post depressing haiku's or story's or generally just rant

Emerald Melody said...

Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too? Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna marry her anyway!!

Evening everyone!!

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

Hey moss! Nice haiku. I see you used the traditional 5-7-5 lines

Unknown said...

Usually because they do something of the sort, too.
I so agree though, Blogland is so epic.

Hey emerald,
Green eyes do shine bright
Hiding the dark solemn truth
Secrets left untold

Hi Emerald!

Hi Adra!

Noelle said...

Silente and Corvo's names are getting me confused...

Ay :)

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

Hey Adra,
Time holds her fate close
Unraveling every tick
And soon revealed

Unknown said...

How come?

Noelle said...

*pictures

see, I'm a bit tired today...

It's because I look at people's pictures, and they're similar today.

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

Why is my name confusing you? My taken name is Silent Tempest. Mainly because when I meet new people (or get angry) I am really quite on the outside but inside its like a storm of thoughts

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, so we're doing Romeo and Juliet at the moment, and we had to write four key themes relating to our key question on these little pieces of paper in our tables. Our table got 'possession', 'power', 'love' and 'selfishness.' We then got told we had to write down points (as in, the point at the beginning of a PEEAL (point evidence explanation analysis link) on other bits of paper - three points for each theme.
We wrote down eleven, and then we were stuck on finding one for 'possession', which is odd coz it's the best theme.
And then I had this REALISATION.
Oh DAMN.
It was incredible.
Possession creates possession.
Juliet possesses the power to give her family power, so therefore they treat her as a possession.
O_O
Idk it's just wordplay and - yeah.
I mean like . . . Lord Capulet doesn't love his daughter. He thinks he does. He looks after her and stuff. He's concerned about her wellbeing. But the only reason he cares about her is because one day she will get married, and he will gain form that marriage. And he basically told her she had to marry this guy, like "You're marrying him in a few days" without giving her any prior knowledge of this or her even knowing him very well, and she politely said she'd rather not, and he was just yelling at her and insulting her and threatening to disown her, and the thing is, he doesn't see her as a person, he sees her as a possession. She is something he owns, and he uses her. When your computer mucks up, you insult it (or just moan about how stupid it's being) without ever thinking that maybe your computer doesn't want to do whatever you want it to do that whole time. Maybe your computer would like to write its own word documents and google its own random facts. Maybe it would like to have a life. And you just expect it to serve you the whole time, and when it doesn't, it's never your fault, it's the compute being stupid.
And we just take this . . . superiority of ourselves for granted, because our computer is our possession. It was created to serve us.
And you see, if the computer was just this worthless piece of crap, we wouldn't be constantly using it or want to own it.
And if Juliet didn't possess that power to marry, if Juliet was just a person . . . granted, she probably wouldn't know her parents. Why would they keep her around? But (assuming she didn't just die) (pretend it's modern day times and there's benefits and care and that) she would be with people who valued her as a person, she would be a PERSON, not a possession.
And it's the things she possess that MAKES her a possession.
It's like . . .
Pushy parents. Those parents that try to force their kids to be successful. I know loads of kids with parents like that. I go to an outstanding school, so yeah. And they basically tell their kids that they have to get As and A*s in their GCSEs, or they'll send them to private schools, and the kids have to do really well or they won't be able to stay here. And if they didn't possess the ability to do well . . . their parents wouldn't be pushing them to do well. Like, my friend has never got above a C in her life, simply beacsue she's not academically smart (I mean, she's fantastic in her own way. Just not in an academic way). So her parents are never going to tell her to get As an A*s in everything.
*nods uncertainly*

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS IN MY ASSESSMENT OKAY.

(I'm sorry, I haven't really got into English in a while, and I like it when I suddenly think of things like this. I think my teacher is pretty crap, tbh.)

TBC (sort of)

Star Inkbright said...

(Haha, our group totally rocked this lesson. XD You know those pieces of paper were were writing stuff on earlier? We had to put them in a grid, and each piece of paper had to link with everything else in that row and column.
Our group moved one piece of paper to another spot.
Then we decided that this was stupid. There wasn't a 'correct place' for everything. There was no right answer. They could be wherever they wanted, you just needed to find a way toe justify it.
Anyway, so we sat and did nothing for a bit.
And Sir came over, and he studied it, and he asked us where our weak links were, because if we didn't tell him he'd have to waste time finding them.
Us, not having actually moved anything, were just like errrrrr.
And then he asked us how 'power' related to Romeo and Juliet being in love.
So we gave him some waffle about their love invigorating them.
And then he was like, okay, cool, and told us to stick them all down.
We were the first in the class to finish.
And everyone else was rearranging stuff and getting all panicked, and we moved ONE PIECE OF PAPER and just sat back, and we were just like yeahhhhhh we won that. XD
You can justify anything, though. In science, we also do that activity, and after a while, we work out how to just use circuituous routes to link things. We can bang 'osmosis' and 'enzymes' together and say they both takes places in cells. :P Sometimes we're just like, this is this, which is in this, which is similar to this, which links to this.
Our biology teacher lets us do that and we don't have to do any rearranging at all, really, because we CAN explain it. Our chemistry teacher tells us to be more precise. XD)

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

Ah okay. BTW the haiku I said after 'Hey Adra,' is dedicated to you. Same with you emrald

Noelle said...

*Adra is in her lab, having left the bar a while previous to attain some food, and a change of clothes*
*She now has on a longer shirt and some jeans*
*And is eating a piece of chicken*

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Adra! Hey Em! Hey anyone else! :)

@Silente: That's why I adore Blogland too. XD You just have complete freedom to be YOU and people accept it.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Thank you, Silente.

Emerald Melody said...

I'm building Blogland on Minecraft. Having been on it in a while!!

Aww thanks for the haiku, never had a haiku before :)

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

Exactly blog land is awesome intact...
*raises glass to ceiling * To blog land, may you always harbour our secrets and remain a place if friendship, fandom and freedom!

Snow said...

Okay, here now.... for a short time.

Macbeth is so much better than Romeo and Juliet, I say. I find the material cliched (as most romances), and a lot less than I expected, partly due to the fact that they knew each other for only three days, then decided to kill themselves.

Seriously, I hate that play so much.

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

Bye corvo!
A child's strong bliss
The rush of the calming sea
Be happy and free

Snow said...

Sorry, I ment:

Hi/Bye Corvo

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

Hey snow,
Drifting calmly by
Swirling and dancing at night
Winters great wonder
Dedicated to snow (I hope it fits)

Mwhahahaha.

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

Hey snow weird question... when where you born (the month)

Snow said...

*huggles Tempest* thanksssssssss. And idk if it fits. Not really sure what type of person I am.... meh.

Noelle said...

*She quickly finishes up her tea, and goes to wash her dishes- the skillet, the pots and pans, then her hands*
*Pulls her philosopher's stone around her neck, hooking the chain together, and sighing, going to find a brush for her hair, and pulling it through her hair*

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

Or well come snow what month were you born?

Snow said...

I was born in January

Snow said...

Distant, btw

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

Then my last line fits. January is winter. Winters great wonder.

Snow said...

Well.... it's summer here in Aus... but meh

Noelle said...

-Pisces represent-

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

Australia? Cool. Yeah that makes sense. What I meant was you were born in Winter.

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

*Walks into the bar*
My lady. How at you on this fine day?

Snow said...

c:

I know what ya ment. But meh.

Noelle said...

-Actually, Adra is at the lab, but it's cool :P-
-

*She smiles* Hello, Tempest. I am well, and you?

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

I wish I was in Australia. Its warm there. Its not warm here. Its just raining. Its not even snowing! Just rain rain rain.

Star Inkbright said...

I was about to say - "Huh? Macbeth is much more ace than Romeo and Juliet!!! You're the first person I've spoken to who hasn't thought the same!"
:P

#ChaseForBookNine

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

*Smiles back* I am...fine. I heard you were at your lab. I simply came to see if I could assist you in anyway. It never hrts to have a fellow being with you. Whether she be human it...diffrent

Noelle said...

Blegh. R&J. Idiots.

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

Out of Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet I'd have to say I prefer Macbeth even though I don't know much about it.
When shall we three meet again
When the hurly burleys done
When the battles lost and won
Where the place
Upon the heath
There to meet
Macbeth
I come graymalkin
Paddock calls
Anon
Fair is foul and foul is fair
Hover through the fog and filthy air

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: I know what you mean. :P
Although, yesterday in German, this girl was saying about how we Britons complain about everything, and how Canadians would just be like "Ah, it's a nice refreshing shower" whereas we're like "IT'S THE WORST WEATHER EVER".

Noelle said...

*She shakes her head* I wasn't alone, I had plenty of company. *Pats her belly, which seems to get bigger by the week*

Ahem, I don't have any patients right now, but thank you kindly for your offer

Star Inkbright said...

I think most people prefer Macbeth. *nods*

*Drew is standing outside Adra's lab. He had spent half an hour rolling and covering himself in dirt from head to toe before punching a wall and scraping his fingernails along it so his finger and knuckles were bleeding.

He lay down on his stomach and kneeled up to make it look like he crawled and then he started banging on the door before breathing in a handful of dust so he would start coughing.*

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

*Smiles again* It was only right for me to come. You should never travel alone. Especially in your state. Plus one never knows when you may need speed, strength and stealth. They say that vampires lurk around these parts and not all are as...civilized as I.

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

*Expecting visitors Adra?

Noelle said...

Out, out damned spot!!

-

*Nods* Well, I'm sure I kick ass pretty well to know when I'm in the face of danger...

Excuse me for a moment, please.

*Runs to the door, swinging it open* Drew? Drew! Oh my gods, what's happened?

Noelle said...

*Calls back* I'm a doctor! People come and go all the time!

Star Inkbright said...

I just forgot what day of the week it was. :P

I started writing a comment saying about how I kept thinking it was Friday tomorrow, because I'd thought it was Friday tomorrow just then and I went "Don't be ridiculous it's Tuesday", and then I was typing about how I'd been thinking it was later in the week than it was for the past few days (meaning Monday and Tuesday) and then I remembered one point when I did it earlier today, when I was standing outside Rivendell (me and my friends C and B have renamed all the school buildings to LOTR-style. XD I might tell you about this lunch, actually, and talk about things like finding adventure and how the world can look however you want it to look.) in the rain (stupid weather), and then I was like "woah wait I was also thinking about which subject I was in next then" and it had been Wednesday, and I was like O_O and then I had this moment of uncertaintly, and I thought it was Wednesday today but I wasn't sure, and then I checked on my computer.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

What has happened? *Rushes to the already crowded door way* Oh my. So much blood... *starts shaking* erm. God dang it. *reaches into pocket* Where is it. Where is it. *finally emerges with needle* *jabs into arm* Work. Work. Hurry up. *continues to shake*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew coughs again before laughing a small bit*

Drew: Its a tight squeeze digging out of that room you have Adra.

*He tries to stand up before he pretends that he's hurt something as he groans.*

Noelle said...

*Glances back at Silente* Please, go down the hallway, two doors to your left, there is a room that is secured, if you fear you are about to lose control

Noelle said...

*Frowns, putting an arm around him, helping him up* Drew! You should have called me so I could get you out! Jesus..

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

But I don't understand. The serum... *shakes harder* Its meant to stop this. Its meant to save me. I don't want to go! I don't want it to happen again. *shakes violently*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew gently stands up as Adra helps him.*

Drew: It looks like you have enough on your plate. Congratulations by the way.

*He coughs again, the palm full of dust he breathed in was actually sticking to his throat.*

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

Oh everyone is in a plot. My bad. I'll leave.

Noelle said...

*Her eyes widen*
Sorry about this, Silente...
*Shoves into a room , and shuts it, doing a quick reaction to make the wall seal with the door, locking it*

Emerald Melody said...

(Zaf when have I never done something with you lol Alexis is with Lorcan and Emerald is with Zaf so get your butt back here!!)

Noelle said...

*Smiles* Thank you, brother. We don't know what to name her yet... Come on, let's get you fixed up. *glances at a device that has a live video feed of the room Silente is in*

(Zaf, you weren't even here lol?!)

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

*Doubles over in pain* No Adra don't do this! I don't want it to happen again! Don't leave me alone! *sobs as waves of pain shot through body* *whispers* Goodbye... *rips skin off*

Star Inkbright said...

So, we had a rather good lunchtime today.

My friends D and F went off to do something, and C said to me and B that we were going on an adventure.
B said, no, she was staying rooted to this spot.
C said, come on, and began dragging her.
B said "I HAVEN'T GOT MY POCKET HANDKERCHIEF!"
Anyway, C carried on pulling B, and B fell over and lay on the ground giggling, and all these people were looking at us like we were weirdos, and then B stood up and C carried on trying to drag her and she fell over again "TWICE in five minutes!"
And B was threatening to text Saraman. XD
And anyway, C eventually dragged B down the corridor and out of the door, and then we set off walking outside in the rain and the wind, and C began talking and stuff, and then we realised we'd lost B so we had to go back. And then we went to the library because C needed to go, and they decided I was Merry, because I did come on the adventures and follow like a hobbit, but I wasn't really involved, and Merry was kind of there but he wasn't involved like Pippin, he was just sort of there to be Pippin's cousin. And anyway, the library was shut, so we walked back outside, and C asked B where we should go now, and she said to Rivendell to see the elves. And we were in the same building as the library next, but oh well - we battled our way through the wind and the rain to get to Rivendell on the other side of the school, and then we basically walked up to the door and turned around and walked back again, because we'd apparently seen a few elves and that was enough. And then we named the school buildings, and then we decided we needed to go to Mordor, and B was like "Can't we skip that bit?" and C was like "You can't skip the bit where you through in the ring!", and so we walked over to Mordor, and then we went to English in Isenguard.
And the point of this is . . .
The whole tone of the world changed. You suddenly saw things in a new light, everything looked different, exciting. And instead of just walking around a school in bad weather conditions, we were somewhere else. And it's like when you play pretend games when you're little, except we never do that anymore, and I miss it, I think. :/
And everything suddenly . . . idk, you adapt the world to make it better.
And I think maybe we should do that more.
And you know . . . when I'm ranting about something, when I'm in a deep metaphorical conversation or describing something or making a point, I'm suddenly not there, I'm in my thoughts, I'm creating this point, and you're talking and you just float off and you're somewhere else, and then you blink and you're back in a science classroom and you're just looking around and frowning because for those few moments, it didn't feel like a science classroom. You were up in a place of wonder.

And anyway. Take from that what you will, I guess. :)

(Hmm? Oh. I guess maybe. Didn't seem like you really wanted to last night

Noelle said...

*She glances back at the door, and pulls a knife from a table* I've got my eye on you, Silente...

Star Inkbright said...

We were saying we needed to find someone to be Frodo, and that maybe we should go around asking everyone if they knew any constipated small people. XD

*paces around the room* *claws and rips at walls and door* * snarls* *pounces around, trying to find escape*

Noelle said...

-They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard-gard-gard-

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Honestly don't worry about me Adra, is just my hands.

*He groans again as he holds onto his abdomen.*

Or maybe a rib or two...

Noelle said...

*Bites her lip, and sits him down, gathering up a few things, continuing to glance back at the room where Silente is* Oh, dear... I really don't know what to do about her.

*Begins to wrap up Drew's hands after washing them off, and hands him a potion that will heal his broken ribs* Take these..

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

*snarls up at camera* *starts to rip at the wall* * watches as wallpaper and plaster dust floats down* *claws wall faster*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew grimaces slightly as he downs the potion.*

Drew: So have I missed much fun??

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

Alexis: *silently watching water

Noelle said...

*Raises an eyebrow at the screen* *pushes a button so her voice is echoing in there* You're not getting out, Silente. That's a good five feet of solid rock.

*Turns back to Drew* A little, bit, but nothing to big. Well- *Glowers at the wall* A couple exes coming back, but nothing else.

Well.
*Grins*
Trip and I are engaged, so..

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: A couple of exes?

And an engagement?! Wow, you two are getting pretty serious.

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

*pauses at sound of voice* *stands still* *shakes of plaster dust* *snarls* *continues to claw at partially dinted wall*

Jemma said...

DO NOT KILL CHINA.
(reverse psychology; I want her to die)

Noelle said...

*Frowns, tapping a few things on the screen, and blue symbols light up around Silente- symbols that reinforce the walls, that would make it harder for her escape*

Well, yeah, Drew- we're having a kid. If that isn't serious, then I don't know what is...

And Trip's ex, Crimson has made a few guest star appearances. It's a bit of drama there.

Hey Jedi!

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

*jerks back from glowing wall* *snarls* *stalks around room* *turns back to wall* *claws faster*

Noelle said...

*Presses a button again* Silente, please, try to control yourself. There is no way that you are getting out there and harming others.

Jemma said...

Hey

Noelle said...

How are you, Jedi?

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

*jerks back snarling and hissing* *paces around room shreading wallpaper* *pounces around * *shakes and snarls* *shakes some more* *growls* *goes back to attacking wall*

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

Or not. Thats okay. Shall ghost since I'm unwanted

Jemma said...

Good thanks, how are you? :D

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

(Hey zaf! How are you? How's your sanctuary?

Noelle said...

I'm a little cold, but happy in seeing my kitty :) I'm his favorite.

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew glances around, knowing there is nothing really wrong with him. But Adra is the only one who doesn't know about him yet. He has to play this out steady.*

Drew: Is she still around or have you dealt with her??

Noelle said...

I'm not exactly sure, Drew.. But I haven't heard from her in a couple days. Though if she comes back, I may not be responsible for my actions.

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

*yowls* *jumps back* *shakes violently* *snarls* *claws walls weakly* *continues shaking*

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

Fine Silente as fine as we'll get.

*sighs* good to know people want you then ignore your comment. Makes one feel wonderful I haven't been too happy all day since Driver Ed. I just was really upset and still am and that didn't help my mood

Noelle said...

*She watches carefully, waiting to see what will become of Silente- waiting to see what action she will take next*

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

(Hey chin up zaf. You'll get through whatever it is :-) )

Noelle said...

Zaf, perhaps you could just ask Em if she's going to answer back instead of being passive to her? Perhaps she simply did not see it.

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

*jumps back again* *yowls loudly* *roars*
*shakes* *collapses to ground*

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

I'm sorry I'm pretty upset....thinking of something in class so I'm just being stupid. Ignore me. I go away

Emerald Melody said...

*A small shadows wraps around Drew's hand, he gasps slightly before shaking his hand for it to go away. He had gotten so used to having the shadows around that hiding them was becoming difficult*

-

Lorcan: Lexi, this power is the first time that I've felt in control. I'm glad that I don't have to worry about possibly killing you.

Noelle said...

*Glances at the screen* *Pushes a button, her voice coming out once more* Silente, can you hear me at all?

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

Wbd switching to phone

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

Alexis: good! I can sleep safer *teasing tone in voice* I am lad though really am

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

(Zaf don't go. If you have a problem you could rant about it. Or just talk about it. Or about something else. But you don't have to go!)

Noelle said...

*Looks up from her screen with a smile* Now. *Takes a wet towel and begins to gently dab at his face to clear some of the dirt off* I'm not going to even ask how this happened..

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

*continues to lay face down on floor*

Noelle said...

*Frowns slightly* *Talks to Silente once more* I'm not really an expert on vampires, so I don't think I'll open the doors just yet... Just... You, uh, lay there.

Sparky Braginski said...

Yup, Derek is still amazing. You can tell because his fans on Tumblr want to throw rocks at his face.

Noelle said...

Hello, Sparky :)

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew smiled. His first genuine smile since he changed, and all from Adra gently dabbing his face.*

Drew: I told you. I dug out. Well broke and then dug.

-

*Lorcan smiled as he starts skimming stones over the lake.*

Lorcan: Lexi, when you were in my head what happened?

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

*remains unresponsive* *doesn't move at all* *walwallpaper and plaster dust settles around the vampire*

Noelle said...

*Glances back at the screen* Yeah, I'm not going in there..
*Turns back to Drew* Sorry, I'm a little scatter brained today.. in any case, you're all patched up, so, you're free to go, if you want. *She smiles*

Alexis: like what I saw? I just saw what you saw and hear your thoughts

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

*with the dust settles and the room still it remains calm* *too calm* *the still vampire with its plaster dust topping looks almost like a ghost*

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: I um... I was wondering if maybe I could just stay and catch up.

-

Lorcan: I don't remember anything from when Madam put me under up until I changed...

Noelle said...

*Frowns* Alright...
*She sits* Well, I mean... I don't know how much catching up we can get... But you're more than welcome to go for it.
Speaking of which..
*She throws her arms around him* I missed you!

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

Alexis: ah. Well we saw Blogland except the lake was silver and your wolf was there and you but you were a corpse attached to the lake Tate your wolf would try to keep you away from the lake. As did we.

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

*new skin begins to form* *remains still* *drowning in the darkness of her mind* *remains still*

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

Msd apologizes

That happens frequently in America, I have noticed, Moss..

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew hesitates before hugging her back gently*

Drew: *whispers* I've missed you too.

-

*Lorcan laughs*

Lorcan: Well that didn't fucking work.

Noelle said...

*Smiles, and pulls back a little, not wanting to squish the tiny human* Well... I'm guessing you aren't going back down there... Whereabouts are you going to stay?

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

(Deep inside the vampires brain). *claws at the darkness surrounding her* *tries to surface over the unusual inky blackness* *screams and snarls as both human and vampire try to clear the strange liquid surrounding them* (on the surface) *remains still*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew was starting to feel a little dizzy. What was happening with him? He had to stick to the plan. Adra was doing something to him.*

Drew: I have no idea.

Noelle said...

*Half frowns* Well, you're more than welcome to stay here, if you desire.

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

*sits bolt upright* *all but her eyes and her teeth resemble the 12 year old she had been* *screamed a blood curdling scream* *collapsed back on to the floor yet again*

Noelle said...

*Adra visibly shudders* My god..
I can't go in there...

*She glances over, thinking quickly, then makes a portal*
*A small girl runs out, with dark skin*
*Adra points to the room and Priya bounces over, slyly breaking the wall and rebuilding it*

*Priya stands over Silente carefully*

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

*remains on floor* *shivers and shakes* *wonders what is happenung *

Noelle said...

*Priya bends down beside the young girl, and places her hand on her forehead*
*She recoils slightly, not expecting Silente's energy to be undead*
*Frowns, and tries again, doing what she can to heal whatever may be wrong*

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

*continues to shiver and shake* *looks up at the other girl through tear stained vampire eyes* *crys out as pain wracks her body* *whispers* go...adra....

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Adra? Have you ever heard of the lunar gene?

Noelle said...

*Priya frowns, and tries to convey that she is not Adra, yet since she has no voice, she is unable to*
*Priya does her best to comfort the other girl*
-
*Adra frowns* not at all.

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

*screams and curls in fetal position* no! *gasps* l-l-l-l-leave. G-g-g-g-go! A-a-a-a-adra please!

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew cleared his throat as he started to explain*

Drew: It's a mutated gene in lycanthropes. It means that werewolf kids don't get sick by the moon, can control their wolves a lot better and as they get older, they can learn magic.

But this gene is so rare that the last person known to have it was Deacon.

Noelle said...

(Silente, if I may clarify, the person whom you are currently interacting with is not Adra. Adra wouldn't walk into a room with a vampire, especially with child, so I took it upon myself to send Priya, one of my characters to help you instead. She is mute, but an alchemist like Adra is. She also has the ability to heal. I apologize if there is any confusion.)

*Priya puts her hand on Silente, doing her best to stabilize the girl's energy*
-

*Adra nods* And...?

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

(I know its not Adra, my message remains the same)

Noelle said...

(Alright, then.)

*Priya quickly pulls out some chalk, adding to the symbols in the walls, pressing each of them- energy absorbing sigils and symbols*
*Priya cradles the girl's head, and works on settling her down with her energy*

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew coughs again. Moment of truth*

Drew: Emerald has the gene. I knew when I saw how unaffected Lorcan was when the moon was out.

She could enhance the whole werewolf race. Any other cubs she has will be a whole new race of werewolves.

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

Alexis: haha yes it did not work. Fact is you are epic now

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

*pushes away priya* no. Go. Go. T-t-to. Adra. I-i-i will l-live. Protec-protect Adra not m-m-me. *screams again but smiles through the pain* go. Please.

Noelle said...

*Adra blinks, absorbing the information*

...

You have a wife, Drew. And you aren't going to use her. She's married, anyway. You should now better.

Noelle said...

*Priya sighs, rolling her eyes, and disappearing through the wall, and glances at Adra and Drew*
*She sits by the wall*

Noelle said...

(Also, Em- check your facebook?)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hey guys! Happy Darwin Day!

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

*sighs* please help her. *crawls over to the walk* *slumps against wall* *grimace's every now and then as well as screaming* *closes her still black eyes* please protect her. For me and anyone else. But don't let he hurt her. *opens eyes and stands up looking at camera* ADRA!

Derek. For the love of sanity DO NOT KILL OFF SKULDUGGERY OR VALKYRIE OR ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW THAT WE LOVE


...which is pretty much everyone so....

Noelle said...

Hey Amethyst and Jubi :)
-

*Adra glances at her device* *Clicks the button* Yes, Silente?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

ADRA!!!! AMETHYST!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*


HAI!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hi Jubilance :)

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

Adra I don't understand! My serum didn't work and now my body won't change back properly! I don't understand what's happening and that means that I might not be safe. Promise me you won't let me out unless I fully change back and that even then you'll be on your guard! Ple-*screams* please!

Noelle said...

*She presses the button* Of course, Silente. To be honest, I wasn't going to do so anyway.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

HOWDY!




.... I don't think we've met...

we probably have and I just don't remember but I don't know

So um... If we haven't... then HI! :P

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

Thank you Adra. Im-im scared. Don't let me hurt anyone. *looks up at camera with tears in her eyes* *smiles* *slumps bad in corner clutching her legs* *mutters* not right. Not right. Don't like it.

Noelle said...

*To Silente* Don't worry, you're safe in there. If you need anything, Priya can get it for you.

Emerald Melody said...

*Drew gets off the table and just looks at her, sternly*

Drew: But see that's the thing. Unfortunately if she doesn't be with another werewolf, she's never going to have any more cubs.

So we have a problem here. Plus the process has already started. She feels compel to love me.

*Drew flexes his hand and lets the shadow creep in and out of his fingers.*

-

Lorcan: I just worry that I won't be able to protect you, even with all this power.

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

Thank you Adra. Be careful. I'm sorry.

Noelle said...

*She looks at his hand, her eyes slowly widening* Wait... What the hell..? *She takes a small step back*

Amethyst Temerity said...

haha...I don't really remember who I've met or not. Usually, I just see people's names when i scroll through and it messes up my memories of who I've actually met. So... hello!

Noelle said...

I usually look at pictures, Amethyst. That's why I sometimes get confused and say the wrong or incorrect name.

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

*stands upright* some things wrong. Some things happening.

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

Alexis: you will i have faith. You believe in yourself anything is possible

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*laughs* Well in that case, it's nice to meet you :P

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*pokes Zaf*

Amethyst Temerity said...

yay! *hugs*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

WHEE! *hugs back*

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

Hai Jubi!

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Adra, don't make this harder than it has to be.

You have to understand that this is for the greater good. But unfortunately, circumstances have become complicated, in other words, Chase has gotten involved.

Just when I had her on the brink of accepting me, he arrived in again!!

Anyway, I need you to come with me. I don't want anything happening to your baby.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Pokes Em too*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

god dammit

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*knocks furiously on Adra's door*

#ChaseForBook9

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

Adra? *bangs on door* Adra let me out! Adra its okay please just Let. Me. Out.

Noelle said...

*She glowers at him* You aren't interfering with them, are you?

Wait-

Falling in love... *She stops* Oh my... Oh my god... You were Deacon?? *She takes a few steps back, ten lunges to the side for a kitchen knife*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((So much is converging on Adra right now. D:

Hello everyone! *hugs all*))
