1. YAY!

2. Also YAY! You are now safe from Dido. :P

ps: hehe, I've been waiting for a chance to use it where it legitimately relates to my comment! I thought this day would never come!

From:

sdgfjhgajh THAT SOUNDS AMAZING.

TWW: I have seen s3 but have since sold my boxset (FAILURE) b/c I needed the money. I have s1 on video (FOR 99p WHAT A BARGAIN SKDJHGZDJH) and now am casting longing looks in the direction of s2. :DD

From:

Well, I have an old dvd set of TWW s2 that I don't reeeally need anymore because my brother bought me the complete boxed set for my birthday. Would you like it?

From:

YYYYYY

Hurrah hurrah hurrah. SHADOW MAGIC SPACKING CANNOT BE PREVENTED.

From:

OH MY GOD, YOU ARE APPARENTLY AN ANGEL.

Er, yes please? Only if you genuinely don't need it. Would you like me to give you some money for it? I can do!

From:

:)

I don't need it. I've only been hanging on to it for sentimental reasons (I remember doing the washing-up in return for pocket money to buy s1 and s2). This way it goes to a good home.

And nah, I don't need any money for it, you're welcome. I'll try and post it sometime this week.

ETA: I also have a spare set of Season 4 discs, if you want those too?

From:

Awww, little Nomi-kins! That is the most adorable thing ever. Should I home it in some rubber gloves so it feels at home? Seat it next to some washing-up liquid?

Would you like me to pay the postage, at least? JFSJHGFSHFJ MORE JOSH LYMAN AND SAM AND C.J. AND TOBY, shdfghs. I now need all your thoughts on s1.

ps: I can never see that icon without thinking of the slightly rubbish poster I made for you the first time you came to stay here.

pps: s4 too, skjdfjshdfg, yes please.

From:

I slaved away at the dishes and begged to get pocket money in advance so that I could buy them. Back then, the dvd sets came in two halves, so I always ended up desperate to finish the season. I think you should just dress up the box in a little apron.

Actually, would you mind contributing to the postage? Now I'm sending s4 too. That's a bigger and heavier box, you see.

I STILL HAVE THAT AMAZING POSTER AND I LOVE IT TO BITS. AS I DO YOU TOO.

From:

A LITTLE APRON. I am totes going to do that, and then send you a picture of it.

Of course I wouldn't mind contributing to the postage. Let me know how much, and I shall send it your way.

ps: I LOVE MY PHONE SO MUCH, OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. Although, I am slightly worried it might grow legs and eat me in the night or something, as it does seem worryingly advanced technology. CYLOPHONE.

From:

DO IT. DO IT. I will lol.

Thank you so much hun. I'll do that. Usually I wouldn't ask for anything, but not having a job but needing to pay rent & bills is eating away at my money right now.

TOTES A CYLOPHONE. Check if something glows red on it, or if it starts playing Bob Dylan covers in the middle of the night of its own volition.

From:

I too am in the pits of WHERE IS MY MONEY despair, but soon I will get my first lump of student finance, which will be a joyous day, and then, er, it will all go on accommodation and something trivial, like food. :P I think I'm going to try and look for a job over the summer too, but it might be a bit difficult b/c I have to have two weeks off to go to this Ancient Greek summer school in August, so I'm sure that will make me a delightful employment prospect.

CYLOPHOOOOOOONE. Does your phone get pictures, my sweet, or shall I email you dressed-up boxsets?

ALSO OH MY GOD THAT ICON OF LAURA IS ACTUALLY DOING FUNNY THINGS TO ME. ASJDGSHJDGFJ.

From:

I have been told by friends that because I started uni in 2006 and because I'm in my final year (fuckshitbollocks) I will be given less money from the gorvernment this time. Woez. You might be able to find something, be hopeful. Or could maybe sell some things to make a little moolah?

My phone does get photos, I think, but emailing it would be preferable my sweets. :)

THIS BASESHIP IS NOW LAURA'S OFFICE, BITCHEZ. Nrgggggh. <3

From:

That sucks! Do you know why? I am waiting to hear how much I will get. Is the final year panic because the final year is the most stressful or because, er, you have to do things after the final year? EITHER WAY, it will be FIIIIIINE, I promise.

I WILL MAKE A BOXSET-SHAPED APRON. I've got nothing else to do with my days! Are you in a shared flat or something for the summer?

LAURA'S IN UR BASESHIP, PWNIN' U ALLZ.

From:

Hahaha, neither ocean nor lack of internet can stop us!

From:

WE WILL HAVE CAIUS AND NOTHING CAN STOP US

From:

YES. The little weirdo.

From:

That made me do such a big spack, and there's no real reason. JGFJHSGHJGSD CANNOT WAIT. Also, I've mentioned I'll be reading Shadow Magic a week later than it's released, right? I want to save it for the summer school, so I've got something to keep me sane in the midst of the freakish amount of work I'll be doing.

BUT WE WILL HAVE GOOD TIMES SPACKING ABOUT THAT, THANKS TO THE NEW PHONE!

From:

Having just finished Havemercy again last night, I am SO FREAKING RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED OMGGG. I stored away all the little pieces of information about Caius, Alcibiades, and Antoinette that were given to us.

Also, I am more in love with Thom/Balfour than ever.

Also also, I tried to piece together some of the info about timelines and such at the end of the war. Shadow Magic definitely picks up a week after the Dragon Corps' assault on the city, right? Rook was definitely in captive for a month. Hal said that Royston was part of a delegation (but that doesn't necessarily mean that he was part of the same delegation with Caius and Alcibiades); he also said that Royston had to return later on to make sure that the terms of the treaty were being carried out. So, I'm assuming that Shadow Magic is going to overlap a bit with the end of Havemercy, does that sound right? And if book 3 is going to involve Thom and Rook (and their super snarky brotherly adventures), then maybe we're not going to have to like, join them after they've already been traveling a while. Does this make sense? It's possible that this only makes sense in my head. I'm not even sure I have a point, so I'll stop now.

Well, it might take me close to a week to finish the book anyway, since I'll be working a lot and my manager wouldn't appreciate me reading while on shift. Unfortunately. You can text me with words of flail once you get the book, and this way we can avoid spoiling each other! You don't even have to use words, on second thought, because if all I get is three texts in a row that look like ADAFHDSKJFAS, I'll know what it means. :D

From:

I did have thoughts, but now I need to say this: if Shadow Magic is set before the end of Havemercy, do you think that means we get some moar Royston? Because ROYSTON. kjsfjhsgfjhd And how awesome would it be to see Rook and Thom setting out on their brotherly adventures, and falling into their own little terrifyingly maladjusted routine rather than picking it up halfway through? Although, having said that, with picking it up halfway through I guess there's the option of having a ~backstory~ to reveal. I DON'T EVEN CARE ANYMORE, I JUST NEED MORE OF THIS 'VERSE.

I shall text you when I get the book, and again when I'm reading it. Should we preface all texts/emails with the chapter we're on, so that we don't accidentally spoil each other? lol srs bns reading.

THOM/BALFOUR, it makes my heart go all squiggly. I am going to re-read Havemercy, and then I am going to go back to our epic conversation and get that going again because apparently I need more of that in my life.

GOING TO REPLY TO YOUR DEMON'S LEXICON EMAIL NOW, KJASHDSJGF.

ps: in selecting the icon for this comment, I just saw my keywords for the Hal icon, and needed to express my sudden rush of love for him. OH HAL.

pps: COHABITATION.

From:

Omg ilu. Do you think that means we get some moar Royston? is basically what I was trying to get at with my rambling. I just want to read the book nowwwww, I hate spoilers but the guessing is making me CRAZY.

Maybe we should preface texts with both chapter and section? Like, chapter two, Caius, or something like that. Because chapters are long. Lol, spoilers = srs bzns; I think I hate accidentily spoiling someone more than I hate being spoiled myself.

OKAY E-MAIL REPLY TIEMS NAO.

SKDFLJKALFDL COHABITATION, don't do that to me without warning, my heart does this funny flipping thing. OH OH, when I was re-reading, Hal mentioned something about after Royston returned he would find him sleeping somewhere and carry him to the bed. The bed. THE bed. As in, one bed? Adlfkds;, I think too hard.

From:

OH MY GOD THE BED. I HAD TO TEXT YOU. SJDFGJHSGFHJA BED BED BED COHABITATIONNNN. I THINK MY HEART JUST EXPLODED.

Basically - well, basically I just want moar Royston. Always. Because I love him. I agree with the chapter and section idea! Well thought. I hate accidentally spoiling people too. I have done a couple of times, but they were genuine mistakes on my part and then I felt REALLY TERRIBLE for, like, days afterwards.

BOOK TIEM SOONS.

From:

I JUST sent my reply when this arrived in my inbox, WHAT.

THIS TEXTING THING WAS THE BEST IDEA EVER
