Wow...

And I am finished.

Well, "finished" is maybe the wrong word. There are still two short chapters to write — detailing Scapegrace's little adventure - but basically, essentially, that's it. I'm done. I've just sent the official first draft of The Dying of the Light over to Nick, my editor, and Michelle, my agent. They've both read a rough version a few weeks ago so I know there's not going to be much in the way of changes when I start editing next week. Which is a relief. And word count, you ask? Word count?

Well, at the moment, before the edit and missing two little chapters, the word count stands at 153,193.  I can't find the exact count, but I think LSODM was about 161,000, so it'll be pretty close in size. I genuinely thought this would be a much smaller book, closer to Dark Days in terms of length. My editor, however, knew the word count would just explode once I started to do what I planned. The book is, he has told me, "hugely ambitious". So there's that.

And I'm glad it's taken me this long to write it, to be honest. I'm glad TDOTL is going to be a heavy, substantial book. It is the end, after all. It deserves to be weighty.

It has still to hit me, by the way. The fact that this IS the end. I think when the edit is finished it'll occur to me that there'll be no more Skulduggery books. Not exactly looking forward to that moment.

On a cheerier note, I've seen Tom Percival's rough sketch of the cover, and it will literally KILL YOU with feels.

Which, now that I think of it, probably isn't a cheerier note at all.

We have such cool ideas for the coming year, plenty of AMAZING events to announce, and I can't wait to let you all in on what we're planning. The next two days, in fact, I will be spending in a massive meeting about those very same events.

The Year of the Requiem is gonna ROCK.

*a thunderstorm is raging around the plane*
*the captain and first officer are shouting furiously on the cabin address*
*they say they’ve been trying to go around it, but it seems to be following them*

*lightning flashes outside*
*the flight gets violently turbulent, and people begin to scream*
*the man is struggling to remain calm; he’s more upset then scared*
*he presses his face to the window, trying to make out what’s going on outside*

*the clouds begin to clear, but somehow, the lightning and thunder don’t stop*
*a violent whirring noise sounds from all around, nearly drowned out by the panicked screams of the passengers*
*the cabin address is full of static*

Captain: Please, do not panic, everyone!
*he sounds panicked*
We are experiencing some minor turbulence, and there appears to be several helicopters closing in around us!

Guy: *struggles to see the chopper above and to the side of the plane*
*he can barely make out one of them*
*a sleek black chopper, with a white stripe on the tail fin*

*the plane begins to shake violently*
*and, incredibly, begins to slow down*
*blue energy crackles stickily around the plane*
*stretching and growing*
*slowly dragging the plane to a halt, like an enormous spiderweb*
*a white forcefield of zero-point energy glows around the plane, halting it completely*

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

*reforms*
Hey!

*several sorcerers on the plane start standing up and trying to get the plane moving again*
*everyone is shouting and blaming everyone else*
*trying to perform magic and being too panicked to do so*

Guy: *shrinks back into his chair*
*terrified beyond all reason*
*he’s an Elemental, but a poor one*
*there’s nothing he can do*

*in the flight deck, the captain and first officer are panicking*
*swearing up and down that they’ll never fly through Blogland again*

*hard impacts knock into the plane, denting the shell*
*passengers scream as they realize people are leaping off rope ladders and onto the plane*
*vicious scraping noises, like claws on steel, sound outside*
*people are trying to break inside*

*then a loud, booming voice, amplified by magic*

Voice: PASSENGERS OF FLIGHT 903, PLEASE DO NOT PANIC. OR DO, WE REALLY DON’T CARE. THERE IS A KNOWN FUGITIVE ON THIS PLANE. PLEASE DO NOT FIGHT BACK, OR YOU WILL BE NEUTRALIZED.

Steward: Waah! I don’t want to be neutralized!

*the temperature in the plane begins dropping*

Guy: *shivers*
*looks behind him at the door, which has been sealed shut for flight*
*it’s meant to be un-openable*

*the door is freezing over*
*the metal is beginning to warp*
*ice is expanding within the locks and welding points*

*the door pops open like a tin can*
*it cracks with an earsplitting shriek*
*and is wrenched out of the side of the plane*
*passengers scream as a black-clad combat team swarms in*
*accompanied by an albino dressed casually in black slacks and a symmetrical windbreaker*

Gary: Alright! Nobody move, nobody speak, nobody even breath!
*stamps the floor with his left foot*
*ice spiderwebs out from the impact in a fractal pattern, freezing immobile anyone who isn’t sitting down*

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

Still really have trouble grasping any emotions other then disgust from this ship. Sorry I just simply can't.

Edward Fletcher said...

greetings all

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

Hello person I may have vaguely met before called Dreamweaver. How are you and have we met before?

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

Hello, Dreamweaver.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary: *stalks down the aisle, flanked by the combat team*
*staring into the face of each and every passenger*
*a few of them he nods at, and a smaller combat expert, a Sensitive, places his hand on their foreheads and closes his eyes*

Sensitive: *opens his eyes*
No Glamours.

*and they continue on their way*
*checking each passenger*
*until they reach the door to the galley*

Gary: *kicks the door viciously*
Dammit!
*turns to the Sensitive*
You’re sure he’s not here?

Sensitive: Certain.

Gary: Damn!
*runs hands through his hair*
Which seat was he given?

Sensitive: 14B, in second class.

Gary: *steps up to the man with the briefcase*

Guy: *gulp*

Gary: Name?

Putrid: Putrid Davenport . . .

Gary: Uh-huh. Check him again.

Sensitive: *lays his hand on Putrid*
*closes his eyes*
*a moment later, he opens his eyes*
Definitely no Glamours.

Star Inkbright said...

@Zaf: It's perfectly understandable; I think we all hate Aladra, and the fact most of us love them as well only makes us unhappy, so. XD

*throws a pinecone at Silente*

Edward Fletcher said...

hello those who say hello, its me Edward, new character. My spelling may be off but that is because my keyboard wasaccidentally hit by a hammer.

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

MATEX!
*catches the pinecone*
*drops it and runs over to him*
*hugs him and spins him around*
Hello!

Noelle said...

*CUDDLES THE DREAMWEAVER*

I don't hat Aladra, Star... o-o

The Grave of a Coward said...

(How does one accidentally hit a keyboard with a hammer?)

Gary: Ticket.

Putrid: But . . .

Gary: TICKET, NOW!

Putrid: *fumbles for the ticket*
*his breath leaves ice crystals in the air, as the interior of the plane grows colder*
H-here.
*gives Gary the ticket*

Gary: *checks the ticket*
*gives it to the Sensitive*

Sensitive: *closes his eyes*
*closes his fist around the ticket*
. . . Yes. This is his ticket.

Gary: He swapped it for this man’s ticket, then?

Sensitive: Yes.

Gary: So he’s on another flight?

Sensitive: *nods*

Gary: Damn!
*ice crystalizes in his hair*
*his white hair is hard and spiky, now*
I thought we had him!
*turns away in disgust*
*returns to the gaping hole in the side of the plane that used to be the door*

Sensitive: For what it’s worth, sir, I think you’re doing very well as the new Mr. Get-It-Done.

Gary: *snaps* Don’t be smart with me, Swank!

Carl Swank: Sorry, sir.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dreamweaver/Edward: Oh, hello! :) That's cool.
And - O_O How did that happen?

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

Edward...lovely.

Apologizies, msd.

Star Inkbright said...

Photo. D':

@Adra: Yes, you DO!
Because of what it does to good Adra and Niccolò, and the bad effects it has, and all the people it kills, and the way it destructs and prevents Tadra.
Yes?
Yes?
No?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I thought you didn't lik- never mind.
*hugs Silente*
How have you been lately my dear dancing acquaintance?

'Ello Dreamweaver and anyone else online!

Edward Fletcher said...

I was repairing my computer from a broken fan and the keys came off and, well I used a hammer as they wouldnt go back on.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary: *to a combat medic*
Text Mr. Neurotic and tell him-

Medic: That we failed?

Gary: *glares*
That we’ve had a setback. Hassle’s sent us on a wild goose chase.

*a glittering staircase of glassy ice forms in the air, arcing through the clouds up to one of the hovering choppers*
*Gary begins to ascend, along with the rest of the combat crew*

Swank: *shouts*
Drop-

Gary: *cough*

Swank: Hm?

Gary: I’d prefer to do it this time.

Swank: . . .
*nods*
Of course, sir.

Gary: *taps his collar with two fingers*
*the sigil stitched into his shirt collar amplifies his voice far beyond normal levels*
DROP THE BASS!

*the force field disengages*
*the energy web dissipates*
*and the plane begins to fall*

Star Inkbright said...

@Dreamweaver: Oh. :/ That's unfortunate . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Well Adra, why should you hate it? You are the one getting to interact with Alastair. I wouldn't hate it if I were you.

Just like I totally love Zavel. I ship myself as do my friends, because I just love Ravel.

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

Fine. I died! How have you been?
*grins up at him*
*almost bouncing up and down*

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

Kn
I gots to gooooo to chorus

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: HOW CAN YOU NOT HATE ALADRA? :O

I hate Aladra.
That's why it hurts.
Because I love it, as well.
And it just tears me in two and breaks me apart. :(

*back in the chopper*
*Gary is sitting, disgruntled, in the back*

Gary: *stomps the floor*
Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!
*flips open phone*
*speed-dials Oscar*

. . .

. . .

Oscar: . . . Hullo?

Gary: He wasn’t there.

Oscar: What do you mean, he wasn’t there?

Gary: *bitterly* He swapped his ticket with another man. He’s been on a different flight this whole time.

*there’s a long silence on the other end of the phone*
*then a noise like a vase being shattered against the wall*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

But you're already dead! You sure do a lot of dying :O
*decides that bouncing up and down is a great idea*
*takes Silente's hands and begins jumping up and down*

Noelle said...

I love it Star o-o

Not hate

only love

heart

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

*nods bouncing*
I do a lot of dieing. It never lasts long though. Hey stay still a minute.
*steps back and taps her collar bones*
*sparkly blue wings burst free from her shoulders*
*grins and grabs Matex*
Tadaa!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

(I'm out of the loop, why does any one hate or feel disgusted by the idea of Aladra?)

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oscar: *taking long, slow breaths, to calm himself*
. . . Alright.
It’s . . . it’s no trouble. We found him once, we can find him again.
Alright.
*deep breath*
*exhale*
What did you do with the plane?

*a massive BOOM sounds far below them, as the plane crashes into Blogland and erupts in flames*

Gary: I dropped the bass.

Oscar: *weak chuckle*
Good. I expected nothing less. And how was Swank?

Gary: I hate him.

Oscar: But-

Gary: I hate him!

Oscar: He was the best that I could find.

Gary: I hate him. He’s not gay enough.

Oscar: It’s tough to find gay supervillains, Gary, he was the gayest one I could find.

Gary: It’s not the same, Oz. Fire him already, he’s a horrible Sensitive and he’s too . . . I dunno, reasonable. Plus he’s actually gay. Can’t you find a straight guy who acts gay?

Oscar: Uh, not really.

Gary: Damn.

Oscar: I’ll do what I can, but listen, I’m your boss, and you work in whatever conditions I want you to work in. Alright?

Gary: . . . Alright.

Oscar: I’ll see what I can do.
*hangs up*

Gary: *closes the phone*
*and stares miserably at the floor*

And I have been doing fairly well myself, at the very least I am still alive :)

Star Inkbright said...

@Matex: "Because of what it does to good Adra and Niccolò, and the bad effects it has, and all the people it kills, and the way it destructs and prevents Tadra."

@Adra: But Aladra wouldn't be Aladra if they weren't horrible and hate-inducing. O_O

#ChaseForBookNine

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Aaand I have no idea what that means, but okay then, fair enough! I'm not sure how a ship can kill people though ._.

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

*grins at his reaction*
I've had them ages! Just because I'm a vampire doesn't mean my sigils from my earlier life don't work.
*slips behind him*
*wraps her arms around his waist*
*jumps and her wings give and all mighty flap carrying them upwards*
*wings level out and they soar through the sky*

Star Inkbright said...

@Matex: I mean, Adra and Alastair go out and murder people.
And torture them.
And eat them.
And stuff like that. :P

I think I'm disappointed you didn't mention them earlier :P

But see Alastair doesn't care what anybody thinks of him except with Adra

They're perfect together

Except when/if Adra's balanced again... D: D: D:

So yeah I love/hate it kinda like Star does

TADRA THOUGH

One day, I need to sit down and rant about how perfect Aladra is, and how contrasting this is to how horrible they are. :)

Nevermind, didn't like those shoes anyway. Ohhh what's out this way??

Its a secret.

Would you like some?

Why thank you.
*eats them delicately one by one*
Do you like it?
*gestures around at the scenery*

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

Hey dragona

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Silente! How are you?

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

Fine! I think Matex poofed.. how're you?

Dragona Pine said...

I'm fine, thanks.

Although I was walking through town today with my friends and then there was this guy who walked past us and started saying, "You what you f*cking d*ckheads?"
Just this random guy. And he didn't look like the kind of person who you'd want to talk to.
So after he had gone past we started laughing, because it WAS pretty funny.

As funny as the guy who wanders around in the red hat holding a bible and going, "THE END IS COMING. JESUS WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY TO SALVATION" - he is FUNNY. Like seriously funny.

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

Ah the crazies in our town ey. I love it. Most people nod and smile but no, we have the dicks that swear and insult you for no reason. Its great!

Dragona Pine said...

Yep, it's cool. The guy in the red hat is awesome.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Oops sorry yeah slightly distant!
*waves to Dragona* Aloha!
*nods at Silente*
Yep, this is fantastic! *rolls around in the grass and flowers*

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

I don't think I've seen red hat guy before. I've seen shouty meat man at the butchers but not red hat man.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello, Dragona

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Do you two live in the same town or something? ._.

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

*grins down at him*
*taps her collar bones causing her wings to dissolve*
*lays in the grass resting her hands on her stomach and crossing her ankles*
*looks up at the clouds*

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

Sort of. Different ends of the town but same town.

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

And we've never met before.

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Matex and Dreamweaver!



Silente: SHOUTY MAN IS AWESOME. We get popcorn chicken from that butchers every Tuesday. :D

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Ah fairenough then!
*holds out arm*
Want some blood? ;)

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

One of my friends loves shouty man! I'm starting to love him as well.

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: I don't like actually live in town. It's like 15 miles away or so.
The guy who I sit next to in Geology thinks where I live is posh and I'm like IT'S NOT FRIGGING POSH. He lives in town somewhere.

Dragona Pine said...

Shouty man is like one of those iconic characters. Like the guy in the hat (You NEED to see the guy in the hat).

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

*looks over at Matex*
Maybe later.
*looks back at the clouds*
*takes a deep breath*
*blurta out* Matex what am I to you?
*panics* I mean like am I a friend, just a dance partner just a random person or anything else in between or above or below of diagonal from them and stuff and yeah.
*shuts up and blushes*
*stares at the clouds looking at Matex out of the corner of her eye*

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

Where does red hat guy usually lurk?

Edward Fletcher said...

My town doenstnt have characters, just one off people that are amazing but are never seen again.

Dragona Pine said...

Like around Peters? Near the coffee-thing. It isn't a coffee shop because it isn't a shop... it isn't a coffee tent because it's not really a tent... neither is it a stand... it's like a metal frame with a coffee place on it.

At least, I saw him near Peters. As I was coming back from Subway.

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

@Dreamweaver its probably not normal /to/ have iconic people. Our town is just weird.

Dragona Pine said...

Dreamweaver, in our town there's a guy who stands in front of a butchers and shouts deals about chicken. He's awesome.

Edward Fletcher said...

Nothing wrong with weird

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: BUT awesome. :P

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

"The enrichment centre is required to remind you that you will be baked and then there will be cake"

*giggles at Silente, pretends to be deep in thought and not seeing her sideways glances*

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

I'll make a note of it. Or rather I'll tell my friend and she'll make a note of it. She has a better memory. And a better map in her head. Have you been to coffee evolution before?

Edward Fletcher said...

occaisonally we have someone who sells lamb at passers by. He literally walks up to someone and says they need lamb and they buy it

Dragona Pine said...

No. I don't like coffee. I go to Costa, though. Costa is awesome. I get a tropical fruit ice crush blend thing :D

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

*worries at his giggles*
*oh god what had she said*
*why had she said anything*
*panics inside struggling to look calm*

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

I haven't tried coffee before. Its on my to do but most likely never will be done list along with try a mocha. But their hot chocolate is AMAZING!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Dragona: "i dont like coffee"
Matex: *cries himself to sleep*

*winks at Silente* well, you DID make a fantastic dance partner, i'll tell you that much!

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: There's also a guy in the pound shop on the same row as Marks and Spencers which is near Costa who is really grumpy. I like annoying him.
I once paid for a pack of chocolate in 5ps because he was once grumpy and I thought it'd cheer up his day. Then I bought something for £1 and paid for it with a £20 note another time, too.

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

*turns onto her side and looks at him*
*her eyes are serious although her face looks calm and casual*
Did? That's past tense. What about now?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*hyperventilates, cannot breathe*
I can- nn- cannnn- cannot even fa fa fa fathom what os happenibg. Hshdhg. SILENTE YOU MUST TRY COFFEE <3 (or mocha, similar things)

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

@dragona yes that'll really cheer him up XD

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

Hey Chi!

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: You have to just try :P

Chione Asahina said...

Hey guys.

Edward Fletcher said...

Try a bacon doughnut. They are amazing

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*laughs* i twas only being agreeable and emphasizing that yes you did indeed make a great partner, i wasn't implying that it was only past-tense! Hehe. I don't doubt for a second you're still fabulous :P

Dragona Pine said...

Hey Chione! How are you?

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Chione

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Chi, NYAAANN NYAAANN~ *purr*

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

*smiles at him*
You still haven't answered.

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

((How are you Chi?))

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

There's a guy around here, and he has some sort of mental disability, so he's always got his headphones in and he's always dancing, just randomly on a street corner. So somebody had the brilliant idea to pay him to be one of those sign holder-upper people, since he's really good at dancing around on street corners, so that's what he does now, and basically everybody in town knows him.

There's also a elderly lady who wears an old-fashioned dress and walks around waving at everyone and telling them to have a nice day. Her name is Cindy.

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

Cindy sounds nice. As does headphone sign guys.

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: There's the woman who wears the fruit-hat, too.

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

@dragona I think you might go to town more than me. I don't know many of the people.

Dragona Pine said...

Yes - I probably go to town more often than you. Like twice every week day, since college and stuff.

Edward Fletcher said...

I must depart now, bye

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*chews on bacon thoughtfuly*
You are like the left diagonal dance partner equivilent of a fish to the bottom left bacon..
*nods* yep that's definitely the conclusion i have come to.

Bye Dreamweaver!
@dragona a lot more than me then! I'm still at highschool! I only go to town once or twice a month really. What college do you go to?

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

*frowns slightly making a groove between her eyebrows*
*lays back and tries to figure out what that means*

Dragona Pine said...

Silente: Do you have email? Because yeah, I don't want people to be able to see what college I go to.

Btw: It's not that I don't trust people on here. It's the fact that we don't know who is watching :P

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Im always watching.

Noelle said...

*Would love to read Star's rant* :)

Wat bout on ebook or online

Noelle said...

Since this is at the top of the page and many might see this- may I request that everyone keep all of those girls in Nigeria in their thoughts?

Thanks~

And for those who don't know what happened ^^

But close to 300 girls were kidnapped by a band of people, and they're threatening to sell them into slavery, sexual slavery, etc. if money isn't brought to them...

Some of these girls are as young as nine, FYI.

So if there's anything you all can do- in any way... Please do.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*turns Silente's face with one hand on her chin*
Now now, calm down
*wipes away a smear of blood*
What I'm trying to say is that I actually haven't the foggiest!

*lays on stomach, resting elbows on grass, and leans in*
What do you think? :)

Noelle said...

*money or something

I don't really know what they want. I misread something

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

*smiles at him*
*stammers slightly looking in to his eyes and blushing red*
I-I er d-dont know?
*grimace at how dumb she sounds*
I l-like you? A lot?
*sighs and looks away cheeks burning red*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

@Adra; I have got to say it surprises me how much of this goes unnoticed. I mean a story like that will happen, and even then most people won't hear about it. But stuff like that happens every day and in most countries too, not just third world ones.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*bashes away at the keyboard writing an email to Silente who has kindly given out her address*

*nods at her* that makes sense!
*stands up and holds out hand*
come, dance!

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Maybe I'll try and write it at school. :)

It'll stop me chewing the skin around my fingernails, you know. :P

DAMN, you all seem to have such interesting towns. O_O

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

*looks up at him*
*rises to her feet and takes his hand glad for something she can do right*
*stands close to him resting her head on his chest*
*places one hand on his shoulder*
*starts a slowish dance*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Oh my God Derek Landy...I just...I just dunno...I need a moment *takes a moment*

Hi btw all! How are you lot doing? Anything going on atm?

Star Inkbright said...

Actually, I have to me memorising my French at school tomorrow . . . -_-
Meh.

#ChaseForBookNine

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

HELLO RHYDIAN.
*Takes a moment in honour of Rhydian taking a moment to take a moment*

..that was refreshingly weird.

Star Inkbright said...

*be

Hey Rhydian! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

HELLO MATEX!! HOW ARE YOU!?

Yup, it was.

STARRY!! HOW ARE YOU!!

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

Hey Rhydian! How are you?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*side steps into a waltz with Silente, humming quietly*

Star Inkbright said...

@Rhydian: Quite good? :P


Wbd, btw, although I'm sure most of you have noticed that. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

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

*sighs and relaxes more*
*listens to his humming and his heart beat*
*dances with him easily*
*sneeks a look up at his face*

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

SIL! HOW ARE YOU!!

I'm good Silente :)

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

I'm good. I mean um.
I AM SO GOOD.
God I should be asleep its half past five in the MORNING. But I'm just jolly I am.

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

IM FINE RHYDIAN! ITS GOOD THAT YOUR GOOD!

Chione Asahina said...

I'm good Silente

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

Dats good Chi! You been practicing your water powers?

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

CHI!! HOW ARE YOU!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*twirls Silente then pulls her in close again, dancing around the lake*

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

*smiles as she twirls*
*speeds the dance up slightly*
*keeps taking glances at his face trying to fathom his expression*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*when she looks up she sees this expression* http://tinyurl.com/matexsface

Lewis Ravenscroft / Rhydian Blake said...

Gtg now :( BYE Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Bye Rhydian!

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

That's a little weird Matex.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

That was a short visit Rhydian, tragic :( Bye!

*raises one eyebrow at Silente to catch her attention*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

(fear not, my face doesn't really look like that :P)

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

*grins up at him*
*still resting against his chest*
*rises up onto her tip toes to bring her closer to his height*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*steers the dance directly into the lake while her attention is focused on his expression*

heh heh

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

*ignores the warm water*
*link both her arms around his neck instead*

Chione Asahina said...

Um...no actually, I haven't...

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

Tut tut Chi! You know you need to practice with them!

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*briefly dips her low into the water, then draws her up back into the dance*

*frowns at Chione*
But then how will you get good at them? :o
Just look at Silente, she is all wet and in desperate need of some one with water powers to help her out :P

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

*glares at him for soaking her*
*the glare turns into a grin way to quickly*
*goes back to her tip toes*
*bites her lip*
*brings her face close to Matex's*
*looks into his eyes questioningly*

Emerald Melody said...

I ship Malente...

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

Hey Em. How are you?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*bumps noses with Silente*
What's that look for Vampy, hm? ;)

*dances in and out of waterfall, shaking off water droplets*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

Ooh hey Em! Haha now we have a shipping name, thanks!

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

*raises a brow at him*
*sighs feeling really awkward*
*turns her head slightly to the side closing her eyes*
*presses her lips gently against his*

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

((Hey how long you got Jazlyn?))

Emerald Melody said...

Damn you people for being so cute together.

Just mind that she don't rip your throat out Matex or else that ship name will be short lived ;)

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

((Kk. I'll do our blogfight in the brackets.))
((*dodge the air sent her way*
*leaps and tackles Jazlyn to the ground pinning her tighter*
*twists her wrists slight so they're in an uncomfortable position*
*grins down at her*))

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

hahaha thanks for the advice Em!
(so I'm definitely not going to go with this reaction: http://tinyurl.com/myreacion)

*pushes his lips into Silente's gently, then nibbles her lip quickly*
Oh, you! :')

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

heh heh, no please, continue.
*stands by the lake side to watch Silente's fight*

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

*smiles and pushes her lips harder*
*leans into him as they go under the water fall*
*sighs against his lips and poems her eyes*
*pulls away slightly to look up into his eyes*

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

Oh. Well. Nm that last comment then I suppose.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

we can assume that happened before you took off to fight Jazlyn haha c;

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

Peoms her eyes? Yes auto correct. THAT makes more sense than closes.

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

Okay then Matex.

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

closes, opens, poems? What's the difference; in auto correct's eyes everything makes sense...

[auto correct is the digital incarnation of Satan]

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

*smiles and bops her on the nose*
Tut tut. Trying to run. That wasn't very smart was it.
*her eyes are glowing slightly*

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

[Auto correct is evil. Ask Dragona.]

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*laughs*
Try not to kill her, Silente :P

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

Kk bye, again. See you later /if/ I'm still on!

*goes back to Matex*
*hugs him*
Where were we?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*glances curiously at Silente* What time is it for you anyway? (God I can't keep up with who is in which time zone, sorry)

*hugs her back*
*pushes her into waterfall*
About here somewhere ;D

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

((9:20 pm ish))

*smiles at the Luke warm water hitting her head*
Yes that seems about right. Refresh my memory on what was happening again?

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*runs a hand through her hair*
something a little like this...
*gently kisses her cheek*

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

*smiles slipping her arms back around his neck*
A little like that? Hmm sooo more like this?
*kisses the corner of his lips gently*

Matex Von Darkhour - マテクス said...

*giggles*
yeah, like that!
*steps back slightly, teasing*

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

Hey. Where'd you think your going?
*grins and steps towards him out of the waterfall arms still linked behind his neck*
*grins at him her eyes sparkling*
Running away mister?

"This is a good example of how science often works. A scientist has a basically good (though incomplete) idea. Other scientists disagree with it. Eventually, it gets modified a bit and voila - into the textbooks it goes."

Ohmygosh that's so true. :O
