To Clarify...

Poor Aby and Cory and everyone over at the Skulduggery Facebook page. They've been hit with a barrage of questions about the Requiem Ball and they've been so great about it, but I finally felt sorry for them and decided to clear up a few things here.

Let's see now, what kind of questions have they had to deal with...?

"Why is the Requiem Ball in London? Derek's from Ireland. The books are set in Ireland. HELLO??"

This is absolutely true. However, in Ireland we have the Theatre of Shadows. In London we have the Requiem Ball. That's just the way it is.

"The Facebook page has a competition to send them a picture of the mask we'd wear to the Ball! Do we have to make it or just design it?"

Either. If you win tickets you'll need to be wearing a mask — one you make or one you buy, it doesn't matter — but for the competition you just have to design it yourself. And the mask can be as simple or as ornate as you like — as practical or as bizarre. It can cover your whole face or part of your face. You can buy a mask and alter it. It's up to you. You don't even have to be artistic — you just need to be passionate. The deadline is August 10th and there's only one entry per person.

"How many tickets do we get if we win?"

Everyone who wins gets two tickets — but those under the age of 18 can get an extra ticket for a parent/guardian.

"I can't make it to London for the Ball! But can I enter anyway, just for the Event Pack?"

Yup. There'll be lots of you in this particular boat — not only in Ireland and the UK but also all around the world — so don't be afraid to enter.

"It's not fair that all the events are always in Ireland and the UK."

Actually, it's pretty fair when you think about it. Harper Collins UK publish me in Ireland and the UK, so naturally they can only organise events for their own territories. They've been wonderful, actually, in doing their best to include as many people as possible. I hate leaving anyone out, I'd love every competition to be open to everyone and for every country to have cool stuff happening, but that's up to the many publishers who release my books across the world — and there are close to 40 of them.

"How many individual tickets are there?"

Approximately 120.

"Would we have to make our own way there?"

Yep!

"Is there any age limit?"

No upper age limit, but anyone under 18 would need a parent or guardian to accompany them.


There will be other opportunities to win tickets — the Facebook mask competition is merely the first — and it's a pretty cool one.

Murp!!!
Hmm.....

I dedicate this page to someone in Blogland. She is amazing at welcoming new people (I don't think I actually got the welcome.....
But that's not a bad thing!) And is a great friend. She is kind and compassionate when she wants and scary at other times. She has amazing role play ideas. Like this one!!!!

Oh, and she's a horrible guesser!
*laughs*
And she probably can't guess who this page is dedicated to.
*snickers*
But maybe is today she is being smart she will guess.













This page is dedicated to you, Silente Tempest! You are amazing!

Brb I'm going to do something to my profile pic.

Hello.

Dragona Pine said...

(The Jeremy Kyle Show is on the television because my sister is watching it and its slowly driving me insane. I have no idea how he manages to sit on the stage with the most annoying people in the entire world without a)killing himself b)killing everyone who sets foot on the stage. Everyone's voices are so ANNOYING and LOUD.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(SILENTE. DARK SHADOW.
What happens if we die in our dimension?)

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

((Loki is tweeting Derek...he's insulting Derek and calling him a Midgardian.-Zaf

Luciana said...

Hey Dugglyn! I'm good and my eyes are very blue today apparently, so I guess they're pretty good too! How about you?

Hey Zaf.

Dragona Pine said...

(Elleni - I have no idea. Ask Silente - she created the plot. I just supplied the villain.
I presume it'd be either 1. You die in Blogland as well. 2. Maybe the Dark Shadow would save you so he could farm your fear at a later stage.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Hi everyone!
Dugglyyyyyn! We prob couldnt tell our parents that we're trying to meet someone... They might think the other ones a stalker O.o we need some public place we can meet. With Fabi.)

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

((My two got out, but then again, they had each other to work with so it was bound to be easier for them to get out.-Zaf

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

(If you die in your dimensions.....you die. Any physical injuries remain when you return. So..you know....don't die. Unless you somehow get brought back in your dimension)

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente - The Dark Shadow COULD save people if he so felt like it. Because he just wants to farm people's fear and pain. Yes, a death would provide him energy but it'd be better in the long term for him to keep people alive for him to feed on.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Kk)

Silver: *catching up*

*uses air to fly away*

Silver: *looks up*
*growls with frustration*

What's the point... I deserve to die...
(You grow from pain... mental, emotional, or physical?)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Do the characters know that its a simulation?)

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

(Nope. They don't. They will believe its real.)

Dragona Pine said...

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qy7pkuocNuo&feature=kp

... I have every single one of those characters. Apart from one. The one I've been wanting for like a year. :P. How typical. :P)

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

((My two kind of figured it out but they didn't, like Zan kept saying this isn't real you know you're a Frost Giant, to Loki, but still it did effect them. They realized they had to escape and get to the Bifrost.-Zaf

Elleni the Ghost said...

(I don't think my character's ever gonna get out... TT.TT)

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

*stops running when she's sure she's safe*
*reaches a hand to the area of her back that's throbbing with pain*
*pulls her hand back and stares at the blood*
*-Why didn't my sheaths stop it?-*
*taps where her sheaths should be*
*feels her body drain of energy*
*they're gone*
*she's defenseless apart from her sigils*
I need to get rid of the remants. Before I die. Before they kill me. Before.
I should get this knife out my back
*reaches back and grabs its handle*
*grits her teeth to quieten the scream that comes out of her*
*whimpers and presses a hand against the cut*
*its not too deep*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Back!
And Elleni, I agree. I don't think my mom would agree.....

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Dragona, what kind of pain do you grow from? Mental, emotional, physical?)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(My mom MIGHT... I told her about Blogland and all of the fangirls there. I think she believes that you guys are real teenagers. She said I can go meet Fabi someday.)

Luciana said...

*sprinkles glitter all over Silente* Hiyur

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

@Silente *you can hear Dugglyn whining in the distance*
But I want a pet! A fluffy little pet vampire!

Dragona Pine said...

(The Dark Shadow (not me :P) grows from all of the above, as well as death, fear, etc.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Msd)
(How do I get out??)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(XD dugg)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh, and Lucy, I be's goods and me eyes be's drowning in refried beans and slowly melting but overall good!
You have really pretty eyes!

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

((I'm surprised Loki and Zanida got out, but then again I said it before: They work well together. Zanida helped him and vice versa.-Zaf

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

(Hey Lucifer. Look. I made a plot. It's lasted longer than half an hour for once!)

*hears the whining and panics*
*ducks behind a tree as Dugglyn, Matex, Viv, Chione and Blake walk past*

Matex: You let her get away.

Viv: She was MEANT to die.

Chione: This sets the plans back Dugglyn.

Dugglyn: I wanted a pet Vampire!

*grits her teeth and hope the blood on the floor won't give her away*

Mary Contrary said...

Mask competition? Sounds like fun. :) ^^
I'd be interested to see what the others will be, too. ^^

Not here, just passing through.
*leaves cookies, though, because cookies. :)*

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

Blake: *notices the blood and nudges Chione*

Chi: *nods and looks at where's she's hiding*

*moments later shadows grab hold of her limbs and drag her forwards, holding her up*

Blake: Hello Silente.

*shudders at the sight of his smile* H-hey Blake

Blake: Oh? Blake? What happened to ugly? *smiles as an icicle rips through Silente's shoulder*

*cries out*

Viv: Wait. Since we have her we may as well play a game...

Dragona Pine said...

*runs away from the diseased zombies and tries to stay away from the trees* *fires her shotgun back at zombies - it fires a single projectile which strikes one of the zombies in the chest*

*fires an electrified net behind her and keeps running*

Luciana said...

Bye Dugglyn!

AND YAAAAAAAAAAY SILENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!:D <3

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

Matex: A game?

Dugglyn: Oh a game! I love games! What kind of game?

Viv: A game. Why not wipe her mind. Put one single thought in it. To fix this. And catch her at the final hurdle.

Chione: Hmmm. Not bad....

Blake: No. That's a terrible idea.

Dragona Pine said...

*accidentally brushes against a tree, causing a patch of mould to form again* *begins to cough, which isn't a good sign* *scrapes off the mould, then turns around and aims her computer at the zombies running after her*
*the computer ionises the air, and sends a bolt of electricity at a zombie* *it overloads the machinery making up its torso, causing it to drop, then chains up with three surrounding zombies causing them to drop also*

Shit... shit... shit... shit...

*coughs again* *really doesn't want to use any more drugs because she's running out of them*

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

*holds her head high*
You won't kill me. Your hosts are two attached to me.

*all the remants burst into laughter*

Viv: she thinks....

Matex: AS IF!

*feels hurt at their laughter*

Chione: Well either way I'm leaving. Vivanus, Matex, sort her out. *walks off with Blake and Dugglyn*

*Viv and Mat look at her*

Viv: You wanna do it?

Mat: We'll both do it.

*both nod*

*reloads her shotgun, and takes another shot*

*another miss*

Star Inkbright said...

Although one of my main memories of Whitby is dropping my camera in the sea.
I went there on a school trip, and we went on this boat. And I had my cameras so I could take pictures, and all the time I was on the boat I was really really scared because I didn't want to drop my brand new beautiful super-cool digital camera into the sea, and I was so nervous, I swear, I kept holding onto it tightly and didn't even like holding it NEAR the edge in case it somehow fell out. And when I was getting off the boat, I was scared that if I was holding my camera, I would drop it, so I put it in the pocket of my jeans.
Then when I was stepping off the boat, it fell out the pocket of my jeans into the sea. :P

Oh my gosh I was crying so much. I was, like, crying for, like, the next ten minutes. I was inconsolable. And my friend told me it was just a camera (in hindsight, probably attempting to cheer me up) and I got annoyed at her and decided I didn't like her anymore and I just sat on this random bandstand and cried my eyes out. :P
It was a very traumatising event. *nods*

It was brand new though, and I'm really possessive and get pretty attached to objects (more so when I was younger. I try and ignore it now. C doesn't help :P), and I thought that my parents would be mad, so . . . yeah. :P

I was completely oblivious to what was happening. I looked up wondering why my family were terrified and they said wed nearly crashed. And I hadn't noticed.)

“Of course they’ll be antiques,” Hunter said, looking up at Ez with a grin.
She wasn’t smiling back, and his eyes instinctively shifted to a blue, murky with concern. “Ez?”
Then she did smile, but it was . . . alien. Unnatural.
Ez did not smile like that.
Hunter froze. “Ez?” he asked.
Her smile widened, and the world seemed to be melted into sharp ice sheets of colour.
Then she vanished.
Hunter stayed there, frozen, and closed his eyes, but it didn’t shut out the world.
He opened his eyes again.
Ez still wasn’t there.
Maybe she never had been there.
No. They were talking. He was sure they’d been talking. He remembered that . . . He definitely remembered that.
This was scaring him. Scaring him, horribly, and he felt sick and he wanted to wake up but that wasn’t going to happen so he’d better just deal with it.
They’d been talking.
They had been talking . . . hadn’t they?
“Hunter,” said Ez’s voice, and Hunter looked around for her instinctively, even as something inside him thought –
That tone.
It didn’t sound like Ez.
“I’m sorry,” said Ez’s voice again.
Definitely Ez’s voice.
Definitely.
Definitely her.
And he recognised the tone of that, this time. But it wasn’t something she’d ever used with him.
It was the tone she used when she . . .

Star Inkbright said...

And Hunter’s fear broke into raw panic and he slammed his hands over his ears.
Ez. Don’t do this to me. Don’t do this to me. I don’t want to hear it.
“You were part of a mission,” Ez’s voice said unhindered by Hunter’s blocked ears, and it was with a hint of regret, a fabricated hint of regret. Really, she was happy.
“Ez,” he said, and then he smashed his head into the table.
No no no no no.
“But the mission’s been cancelled. Budget costs, you know. I’m sorry. Nice knowing you.”
The pain hurt, but not enough, so he smashed his head into the table again, harder. The pain sliced through his mind and he winced, glad of the distraction.
Yes. His head hurt. Ow. That was painful. Probably shouldn’t do that again. No, definitely shouldn’t.
He did it again.
Now, that was stupid. Why did you do that? Your head hurts now.
Nice knowing you.
He hit his head into the table harder, but the thoughts were worming their way in now, and the pain wasn’t stopping them, of course it wasn’t –
“Ez,” Hunter said, and he froze.
This wasn’t real.
This wasn’t real.
This WASN’T real.
Hunter got up and ran around the house at a frenzied speed, sensing for her rather than looking for her.
His speed slowed down a little.
He probably shouldn’t use energy.
Although, really, he was just scared in case he didn’t find her. But he would find her. He had nothing to be afraid of.
If there was one thing he could always, always trust it, it was Ez.
Nice knowing you . . .
(Shut up.)
He sped up again. He’d find her.
He didn’t find her.
Hunter stopped, in the middle of the living room now, the world solidifying around him.
(Oh God oh God –
Shut up.)
She could be somewhere else.
(She could.)
She could be anywhere.
She wasn’t necessarily here.
(Yes. Yes. Yes.)
She’d been here a moment ago.
No, he’d imagined she was here a moment ago.
(Yes. That’s it.)
He texted her - |Ez?| - then looked down at his phone.
Number not recognised.
Hunter stared at it, uncomprehending.
(No no no -)
You don’t know Ez’s number? What kind of phone are you?
Stupid phone.
Phones were always getting things wrong.

Star Inkbright said...

He carefully pulled up their text thread –
Where was their text thread?
He stared at his various text threads, scrolling down, then scrolling up in order to continue scrolling down.
(No no no no no no no -)
You’ve lost the thread as well? Come on, phone.
He searched her name. “ez”.
Nothing.
(Oh God oh God oh God -)
You stupid inanimate object.
(Oh God oh God oh -)
His fingers were moving across his phone, far too slowly, far too slowly . . .
(Oh God oh God -)
You have nothing to be afraid of.
(Oh God oh God oh God -)
You’re going to find her, so why aren’t you speeding up?
(Oh God -)
He wasn’t speeding up.
Hunter stared at his fingers, moving slowly.
(Oh God oh God -)
Speed up, damn you. Speed up!
They carried on moving slowly.
Did that mean he was afraid?
Did that mean he had reason to be afraid?
(Ez Ez Ez Ez Ez Ez -)
No, of course not. Stupid thoughts being stupid. Ez would laugh at him when he found her.
Ez.
Ez Ez Ez Ez –
“Shut up,” Hunter said, calmly. He raised his head and stared at the wall, looking at the non-existent patterns in it. Spiralling here, swirling there.
(OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD -)
His fingers sped up again into a frenzy, and he slapped his head when it told him he was panicking.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Calling. Phone calling. Who was he calling?
Hunter stared at the screen, forgetting for a moment, and then Sharky picked up.
“Hunter?”
He sounded impatient.
“Ez,” said Hunter immediately.
“What?” asked Sharky, annoyed.
“Ez. Have you see her?”
“Seen who?”
“EZ!”
Why was Sharky not panicking?
Why should he be panicking?
Why are you panicking?
Hunter looked at the mirror, and mouthed “I’m not panicking.”
His reflection looked a little scared, so he smiled at it and mouthed “Hey.”
(EZ EZ EZ EZ EZ -)
It didn’t look reassured. It looked sick. Sick sick sick, sick with nerves, because –
Shut up.
(EZ EZ EZ -)
Shut UP.
“Ez?” asked Sharky.
Hunter frowned. “EZ. Ezmeralda.”
(Oh God oh God -)
“I’m sorry, I don’t know anyone called Ez,” Sharky said.
Hunter stared at the phone in disbelief.
(Oh God oh God oh God oh -)
But he sounded truthful. Puzzled, but not very. Impatient. Annoyed. Not affection for Hunter.
(OH GOD -)
“Oh,” said Hunter, then he ended the call and sent the texts.
|Who’s Ez?|
|Who’s Ez?|
“This,” began Hunter, and then took a little quick breath before continuing, a little quick breath he ended up holding, and then he was hitting his head against another flat surface.

(When does TDOTL come out again?)

Star Inkbright said...

Still writing, of course. I just got to a timeskip part so I decided to post. :P

Thanks for this opportunity, Silente!!!!! :) *hugs* The others are correct, it IS a brilliant roleplay idea, and I've been enjoying reading all the torment that it's caused. XD

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

(What. Oh. I poofed. Where was I on the rp...
Get. I can't get to where i want to be! Oh I know.)

Viv! Mat!
*quickly taps a sigil and heals them both, despite the drain on her energy and the fact they want to kill her*

Viv and Mat: *stares at her*
Viv: Why did you help us?
Mat: What. Why the hell!

Because you don't deserve to due. Or rather your hosts don't.

Viv and Mat: *hesitate*
Viv: *sighs* We have to help her now dont we.
Mat: Yeah we do.
Viv: *grumbles angrily*
Mat: You wanna fix this right. There's a giant soul catchet. In the clearing. Use it and this is fix. *allows his black veins to show* Good luck getting to it.
Viv and Mat: *laughs as Silente walks away, plans forming in her head*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(*gasps in shock and horror*
Gasp!
You what?!
*looks horrified and offended*
How dare you?!
*tries to look angry*
*it doesn't really work....*)

Star Inkbright said...

SilenteTC's becoming successful yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! :)
(Possibly.)

@Elleni: I don't know, sorry. :P

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Silente, I love reading your rp)
(I'M SORRY! D: I'M SORRY IT WASN'T ME!! Read back a page or so... or the last post actually)

Star Inkbright said...

@Elleni: Who DOESN'T? :P

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

The 28th of August.

Star Inkbright said...

@Dugglyn: Thank you. :)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(HAHA I KNEW IT. My friend thought it was September)

(Alright...)
(DRAGONA. SILENTE. HOW DO I GET OUT)

Elleni the Ghost said...

*lands on a cliff far away*
*looks down*
*curls up*

Luciana said...

I have to gooooo. Not that I was really here completely anyway, but... *shrugs* I'll probably pop in with a random comment here and there, but I have to write my dissertation now so... Um... Talk to you all later! I love you and I hope you all have (had) a good day! *cuddles*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(*begins shaking, the frown still on her face*
*is gasping between words*
*her face looks a little demented*
It. *gasp* was *snicker that sounds like a sneeze* you!!
*her face contorts*)

Star Inkbright said...

Fours, Mushroom! :(

Elleni the Ghost said...

(No... I'm sorry :'( )

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

@everyone who couldn't remember the date for TDOTL twelcome!

Bye Lucy!!! Hope you have/had a great day!

Elleni the Ghost said...

(DUGGLYN! Do something like... your zombie caterpillar becoming evil and taking over our brains. Idk)

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

(*laughs at star* Sure. You jeep thinking shes being successful...)

(@El overcome or beat your fear. Maybe you could be forced to relive the same thing over and over again until you DON'T kill everybody or something...)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*is still pretending to be angry, though more signs of fakeness are showing*
*bursts out laughing then quickly changes it to crying*
I'm dead in another dimension! Dead! And you! My friend! Or so I thought!
*stares simi accusing at Elleni*
*-this really isn't working...-*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Overcome... my fear...)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(I-I... I'm sorry, Dugglyn :'( )

Star Inkbright said...

(Silente, what happens if you commit suicide in the dimension?)
(Or does the dimension just stop you from doing that?)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Then all I gotta do is convince myself that it's not my fault)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(If you die in your dimension, you die in Blogland. That's what she told me.)

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

(Yep. Overcome your fear.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Elleni: I don't think that will work, personally. I've known characters, and . . . often, people never get over something like that. They just learn to live with the guilt.
It can still happen though. :) Good luck.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

(Oh. Oh that's bad.
*lowers her head in shame*
I kinda forgot about them...
*rises her head*
But that's a good idea! She loves her friends and fears she isn't in complete control over her zombie caterpillars! But she does have a secret weapon....
I'll figure it out!
Thanks for the ride!

Star Inkbright said...

You know in Divergent?
Four says that no matter how many times he keeps going into his fear landscape, the fears never change, and that he thinks that some fears, you can't overcome. They're just a part of you.
I agree.

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Yeah. I know... But then... how??)
(Yw Dugg :) )

Elleni the Ghost said...

(@Star: Very true. I was thinking about that. But in there, all they did was do it, and breathe calmly...)

Star Inkbright said...

I HAVE NO IDEA SORRY D:

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

(Wait I just realise El isn't the only one who killed me off! Viv is doing so too!)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Oh yeah... EVERYONE IS KILLING SILENTE XD THIS IS REVENGE)

Star Inkbright said...

@Elleni: . . .
I guess, maybe you can still be afraid of things, but you can learn to deal with them.
Maybe you'll never stop being afraid of heights, but maybe you can learn to live with that fear as opposed to just screaming and running away.
And I suppose maybe if you learn to deal with, if not banish, the guilt, then you could get out. :)
(Just a theory.)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Yw? What does that mean? Is it a typo or does it stand for something?
I'm bad with that sorta stuff
:/
(*turns her back on Elleni still giggling/crying*
You are no longer my friend!
*walks away, her arms crossed*
*falls down after a couple steps*
*rolls on the ground laughing*
I can't believe you feel for that! I'm do bad at lying about that sorta thing!
I'm not mad!)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(... I know. I still feel bad.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Dugglyn: Yw = you're welcome. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Writing thoughts is so incredibly hard because they're so complex and I'm really struggling to manage to write them all out . . . they don't happen one after the other, either, they're all in a barrage together, so I just don't really have enough time gaps to fit all the writing in . . .
Eh. :P

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

*TIMEEEEEE WAAAAAAARP*

*sits in the cave over her hand drawn map*
*it has six crosses on it*
*any of them could hold the giant soul catcher*
*at least 2 of them she won't be able to get to easily*
*hopes she won't have to harm anyone*

*lays back in the cave, curling up*
*finally let's her emotions through*

*sobs at the loneliness*
*sobs at the fear*
*sobs at the overwhelming odd*
*her heart feels like its been carved out and put in a slowly tightening vice*
*sobs, tears streaming from her eyes, shoulders shaking*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(I'm gonna be in this dimension for a LONG time...)

Star Inkbright said...

WAIT SORRY MY BRAIN SCREWED UP THERE AND IT FORGOT WHAT I WAS ASKING AND THEN DIDN'T TAKE IN HALF THE RESPONSES AND THEN -

So if you commit suicide, you die in Blogland?

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, SilenteTC . . . :(

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Wait... could I possibly get out if I bring my friends back to life?)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(@Star: Yes)

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

(Yeah El.)
(SilenteTC :( )

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

My poor wittle Vampy!! D': D:

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh, and thakatoo Star!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Gtg but I might watch....
Idk...

Elleni the Ghost said...

(SilenteTC :'( )

*lets out a shaky sigh*

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

*gasps and gulps in air*
*her sobs dissolve into silent tears*
*squares her shoulders and shakes her head*
*she has to do this*
*she has to save them*

*doesn't she?*
*what'd be so wrong with letting them get their way*
*with disappearing*
*her friends were asleep, soon they'd be dead, it only took 3 days*

*stares into the distance*
*two paths*
*one would be quicker, easier*
*coward*
*but it didn't matter. No one cared about her anymore. She meant nothing to them*
*torn*

Star Inkbright said...

SilenteTC . . . . . . . .
:( :( :( :(

This hurts. :/

Star Inkbright said...

Yes she is.
Ez isn’t real.
Yes she is.
He knew he was just getting caught like this because he didn’t want to think.
No he didn’t.
Oh, shut up.
He shut up.
Ez isn’t real.
Hunter stared at the wall.
Ez isn’t real.
Ez was never real.
(yes she is.)
He pushed that out of the way for a moment. He needed to deal with the pain at some point.
What did that mean?
That she never existed.
And then he was crying, the sobs shaking through his body, because all that she had been, all that she would be –
“Ez isn’t real, yes she is, Ez isn’t real, yes she is,” he muttered, but those words – “Toasters.”
But that reminded him of Ez beings annoyed with them, so –
Ez.
Ez.
Oh God.
Oh God this hurts.
Ez.
Ez, I miss you, and maybe you never existed but –
She hadn’t just never existed. That wasn’t the point. The point was that she had existed, and that she hadn’t cared.
Hunter froze again, going very still, and his eyes withdrew to a grey whilst he dealt with that.
She existed.
That was okay, then.
She had existed.
She had existed.
He took a deep breath, and smiled a horrible broken smile that didn’t extend past his mouth.
It was almost okay, if she had existed.
And it made sense. He knew no one could have ever cared about him anyway.
It was okay.
It was okay.
Ez, I’m glad you’re alive, even if you don’t care about me.
You don’t care about me.
And the crying was back, but that was okay because it was painful and screwed his thoughts up so he couldn’t think them properly.
It was painful, though.
It was painful.
Too painful.
Ez would help me deal with this.
Ez isn’t here.
Ez isn’t here.
Ez isn’t –
Shut up.
Why?
Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here. Ez isn’t here.
When you repeated a word enough, it became meaningless.
Unfortunately, what it meant couldn’t become meaningless.
Hunter took a deep breath.
Ez didn’t care.
Always trust in me.
Always trust that I’m real.
You are real. But you don’t care.
(But I’m glad that you’re real.)
How could she . . .
But his heart wasn’t in that sentence.
“Ez,” he said to the air. “Ez, I still love you and I think you’re the most amazing person I’ve ever met and I don’t blame you for not loving me really because no one could.”
A pause.
“It hurts, though,” he whispered, and then he closed his eyes, the admission of the pain intensifying it.

Elleni the Ghost said...

*everyone hated her*
*no one wanted to be with someone that killed all her friends...*
*... Alastair might*

Star Inkbright said...

(Hunter kills most of his friends, don't worry.
He has an annoying habit of killing my characters off. :P)

Elleni the Ghost said...

*Or Hunter?!*

Star Inkbright said...

(*laughs* :))

Elleni the Ghost said...

*slowly stands up*
*flies back down to the ground*
*wanders around to find Hunter of Alastair*

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello.

Dragona Pine said...

(Sorry I kind of keep poofing.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(HI Amethyst! *hugs*)
(Dragona, I can't think of a way to get out)
