A game of fighting words.

This game is one you can leap into without any preparation whatsoever, but I'd recommend using their training until you get the hang of things. Skill with grammar helps too.

It's a fairly simple premise: you have an opponent who needs to be taken down a peg, your weapon of choice: whit and a sharp tongue.

.....I missed my own anniversary. I have now been on FIMfiction for a year and I've grown a lot as an author in such a short time. Hot damn.

Also, this is Marcbot2004. I just went through a small name change in spirit of Halloween and a new show I started watching.

Three of these girls are supposed to be adults. The fourth just graduated high school.

I think something kinda went caca here...

(You'll find out what new show this is from and my thoughts on it later today, in Summer Anime Premiere Special #3.)

Writing the chapter for a large formal ball that ISN'T the Grand Galloping Gala is interesting. I have to come up with a cast of invitees, those not showing up, and possibly chaos induced by a certain Draconequus.

This may be a baaaaaad idea.

And it looks as though they're here, to stay...
Afternoon everyone

If it means this book is finally over, yes it’s happy.

…snrk. Yeah, right.

Bella turns into a vampire and it hurts.

And that’s literally the whole chapter.

I am not fucking kidding.

We go back to Bella’s perspective right as she vomits blood. We get a brief recap of what she saw from the last chapter, only with a lot of descriptions of pain. Bella manages to cling to consciousness long enough to see (blalgh) Renesmee before blacking out.

…There really aren’t. This is ugly.

Edward and Carlisle are unable to find Irina, so they let the matter drop. Days go by with nothing bad happening, so the Cullens decide to go about business as usual. But one day, while arranging some vases, Alice gets a vision so shocking that she drops one: the Volturi are coming for the Cullens. All of them. They’ll be arriving in about a month. Because there’s so many of them, it can’t just be to check up on Bella’s current life/undeath status; it’s about Nessie. When Irina saw Nessie

Too-much-bullshit alert.

Jacob, Leah, and Seth run another patrol around the Cullen house, and I feel like I’ve said something along those lines twenty times in the past eight chapters. Leah awkwardly thanks Jacob for putting up with her and promises to try to not get on his nerves. They do nothing of consequence for nine pages and this book is so padded a La-Z-Boy factory would find it excessive. Eventually, Leah speaks up again:

Guess where I'm going to be spending my 40th birthday! :D

Why didn’t I just stop reading? Oh, right, because I’m a glutton for punishment.

That describes most of the book. Most of the series, actually.

Aro and Caius, another one of the Volturi, discuss Nessie, and Bella overhears. Aro is adamant that Nessie isn’t an immortal child and the Cullens don’t deserve to die for that. Then Caius brings up the werewolves:

More and more vamps start hanging out at the Cullens’. Naturally, they need to hunt humans. Jacob’s miffed at the killing, but he shuts up for Nessie’s sake. In the space of three sentences. Really:

Before Charlie leaves, he and Bella briefly talk about how much to tell Renee. They decide no more than is necessary; Charlie says he’ll think of something. He asks to hold Nessie for a moment, and… Ugh, this is creepy:

I could see it in his face — I could watch it growing there. (I know, you just said it.) Charlie was just as helpless against her magic as the rest of us. Two seconds in his arms, and already she owned him.
