Okay, so hello world. Or worlds. Depends on where you are, I suppose, and which way you’re facing. I’m not so sure anymore.
So, I’m Megan O’Riley, and I’m now a completely normal freak of nature. Well, at least I used to be normal and I personally still feel pretty normal, but my life this last while has been anything but. Apparently things tend to happen to you when you stay in a weird house called Waverly Hall owned by your certifiably insane uncle and stumble upon a squabbit, rooms full of growing carpet, and pictures that can suck out your soul. Oh, and did I mention there are also portals to other worlds here? That’s probably worth tossing in.
Could happen to anybody, right? Who am I kidding? This could only happen to me.
And now I’m a worldjumper. I’ve been to several of them now, and seen some really crazy stuff. You know, somehow college is going to seem a little tame, when I finally graduate.
Soooo anyway, I guess that’s about it for now. Reep (the squabbit) is bugging me to get us some dinner. Just don’t touch the pictures.
TTYL,
Meg
Lantern Hollow Press is overbrimming with vivacious characters who have a lot to say! Come join in the conversations.
I know all about other worlds and stuff. I live in the House of the Dead. I get to travel with my nanny and go to the world of the living cause she is still living. But I don't know so much about the picture thing...I have touched lots of pictures and I have never gone into another world...It is the woods you have to watch out for...the woods are scary but not as scary as the water...
ReplyDeleteUm...what's a squabbit?
Oh, Meg, I definitely can commiserate about feeling like a freak of nature! Back before I understood my powers, I thought I had been cursed or something. I still remember how terrified I was the time that I threw Edric into the fountain and shoved the frog in his mouth, without even touching him! Of course, Edric was even more frightened than I was.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused by one of the terms you use. What exactly is meant by the term "world"? Is that similar to a country, or is it smaller?
Once again, Flavia, I was not frightened! I was angry, and quite justifiably so. It was the first of many times that you have overreacted.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so Edric? You let a girl shove a frog in your mouth and chuck you into a fountain? Are you a complete pansy?
ReplyDeleteViolet--the woods themselves aren't that scary too me...its what's in them that worries me. How old are you anyway?
Flavia a world is like...well its like a whole other place. It's not just like a country because you can't travel there as easy as that. Let me think about it some more. Its not like they've given me a textbook on how all this stuff works or anything.
I am as old as I was the day I died...that was six. But I have had lots and lots of Dead Day parties. Parties with dancing, and singing, and lots of people all there just to celebrate me and I get to stay up late and drink punch. Have you ever been to a Death Party, Meg?
ReplyDeleteUmmm...not recently. Like not ever. And I hope not any time soon. Is a Death Party like Nearly Headless Nick's get together?
ReplyDeleteSo, do you need to, like, sleep if you're dead? This is something I haven't run into yet.... I didn't think there was much left....
Hello again, Meg.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what a pansy is, but it sounds derogatory. In that case, Edric is definitely a complete one.
I don't know who this Nearly Headless guy is...so I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI like to sleep which is funny because I didn't like to sleep much when I was alive. But I dream about being alive and sometimes I get lost in the woods between the worlds and He comes and shows me the way out. I don't know who he is but I think he works for Dream like Grimm works for White, but I don't know I never asked. He doesn't like questions; they make him nervous. I don't know why. I like questions; that is how I learn things. I like learning things as long as they are interesting. My nannies try to teach me things that aren't interesting so I run outside and play.
What is scary about the woods or the water? You need to be brave like me. I am brave and I like the woods and the water 'cause there are good things to chase in the woods and at the water...like the stupid ducks that are funny 'cause they make funny sounds and they have feathers that come off when they run. It is my fav-o-rite thing to make them run and flap and lose their feathers.
ReplyDeleteI like other worlds, they have movies, which are fun to watch...but not as fun as actually doing stuff so I usually stay in my world and do stuff or I go to the six hundred thousand hells to visit Gethrugb. I try to visit her at least once a week.
ReplyDeleteWe had a death party once, we sacked this village in Corvist and killed all the peasants and then we danced and drank all their beer and then there was a fire and I don't remember what happened next. I woke up with a really bad hangover and a fried newt in the middle of the plain. It was a long walk home. I don't like beer.
Violet: The woods aren't scary, nor is the water. I'm scary. Just thought I'd point that out.
ReplyDeleteMeg: I'd really like to know where this house with magical pictures that send you to other worlds happens to be. I'd love to visit it sometime, it seems like it could have...so many possibilities.
Flavia: What powers do you have? And how did you get them, can you teach them? I'd love to learn something new. I'd be happy to render payment by not killing all of your loved ones.
Edric: You sound like a moron. I think I need to kill you regardless.
Digger: You're a dog, much as I applaud you're learning how to type, and use a computer, as well as apparently learning passable English, you shouldn't be posting on a blog. Leave speech to the humans, dogs are pets...and occasionally food.
Crugg: You are, quite obviously, insane. After reading your profile I have to say that you are likely both insane and mentally deficient. Please stop now.
P.S. Hello the board. Mustn't forget our manners now.
ReplyDeleteFinnias: I don't think so. You sound too much like some people I've already met....
ReplyDeleteFlavia: Walk away. From Finnias. Now.
Crugg: Six hundred thousand hells? Are they like all subdivisions of the real thing? I wonder, do they have homeowners associations down there or something? Dad used to get really frustrated with ours in Atlanta.
Finnias, did you say FOOD? I love food. It is my fav-o-rite thing!
ReplyDeleteMeg: Really, tell me about these people you've met. Now you have me curious.
ReplyDeleteDigger: Yes, I said food, as in, I think I might have to eat you. While it's not my favorite thing I do enjoy a well prepared meal.
Well, there's the hell of a thousand maddened horsewhips...I spent a year living there, it was...uncomfortable. Then there's the hell of a thousand enraged demon bears, the hell of a thousand predatory insects (the lord of that hell happens to be a good friend of mine, he lets me ride on his back when I give him chocolate and fly's me around), and the three intertwined kingdoms of the hell of a thousand corrupt politicians...its pretty much a lot of standing in lines.
ReplyDeleteMy dad says there used to be 900,000 hells before the current lords of the council had him murdered ten thousand years ago...I guess they lost some or something.
Digger, why are you a dog?
ReplyDeleteFinnias, you're a jerk. I'm going to make cockroaches gnaw out your eyeballs and the a meteor is going to come diving out of the heavens and smash you into a thousand bagillion pieces and then...oh, wait Olef says the horse is done cooking, I've gotta go, bye.
ReplyDeleteCrugg, I am a dog because I am loyal and brave, and that is how I was born. I love being a dog. It is my fav-o-rite thing. What kind of animal are you?
ReplyDeleteFinnias: Bad things happen to people like that, and I'm usually somehow responsible for it. Not always on purpose, but it happens. Don't push it.
ReplyDeleteCrugg: Horse? Cockroaches? I'm glad you live in a different story....
I'm not an animal, I'm a goblin. I like to blow things up...and burn things...and eat them. New foods are fun. Why are you loyal and brave? Its more fun to blow stuff up.
ReplyDeleteMeg...whats a story?...and horse is good...especially the raw insides...yum.
ReplyDeleteI think that's called haggis. Mom tried to make me eat some once. Nooooo freakin' way.
ReplyDeleteYour loss. More for me this way.
ReplyDeleteCrugg: Are you by any chance related to my father-in-law, King Haden?
ReplyDeleteFinnias: While I heartily support your contempt for my husband, Edric, I cannot teach you anything of magic, as my powers come from a natural ability, not just through learning. I do not know of any magic that one can learn without already having ability. It is just as well, as I am rather certain that you would abuse magic.
Digger: You sound like a very nice dog. Are you an enchanted creature? I have never before met a talking dog. I have heard of an enchanted dog, but the type I know of is large and green, and lives in the hills of Lyth. You must be a type I have never before heard of.
I don't think so Flavia...unless your King Haden was my dear dead pops who I never met posing as a human. I don't think he'd do that though...he likes it in my head too much...and I think before that he was living in a book...at least that's what he told me...stupid ladies of reality...

ReplyDeleteCrugg: You are probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in print. I though goblins were supposed to be intelligent, cunning, and ruthless. Not insane, nonsensical, and stupid. How exactly to you plan to send roaches to, how did you put it, 'eat my eyeballs'? And what is this crap about your father living in a book?
ReplyDeleteMeg: That sounds remarkably like a threat from such a young, innocent looking girl. How old are you by the way? Please though, do tell me what happened to these people?
Flavia: Well, I am very sorry to hear you have nothing to teach, however if you would like, and are willing to pay, I could teach you some magic. Also, since you so heartily agree about your husband, I could take care of that problem for you, if you would like.
P.S. I don't abuse magic, I use it for its intended purpose.
Finnias: I'm old enough to know the difference between a threat and a promise.
ReplyDeleteFlavia: I'm more worried about WHO he would abuse with your magic.
I do not think I am enchant-ant-ed. I am not able to talk, but there are persons who can understand what I am thinking, and they are good persons who like to give me treats. I don't know how I can write on the computer, but I do. Maybe it's 'cause of the shiny metal headband Meg gave me, but I can't wear it it very long 'cause I must shake my ear-is and not let them get stuck. Sometimes when I go away to the otherplaces, I can sniff things that I cannot sniff here. Sniffinf is my fav-o-rite thing. Maybe one day I can sniff things in your otherplace, Flavia, or maybe you could come here. You would like it here, and I would share my yummy treats with you, and we could be friends, 'cause I am not green, and I do not live in the otherplace called Hills of Lyth. I wonder what wonder-derful things there are to sniff there? Flavia, you sound like a nice person, and I wish you could be a dog because we could sniff together at the otherplace of Hills of Lyth.
ReplyDeleteCrugg, can I come help you chase and kill things? I like to shake them in my mouth and tear out the stuffing until nothing is left but the squeek-eeker. It is my fav-o-rite thing!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to come with me to sack things Digger thats fine with me...as long as you like burning and blood as well as stuffing. You can chase around all the stupid barnyard animals that get loose...or the kids that get loose.
