Ferrin, Trensincourt, Nicolas, and Copernum- The Beyonders, Part 1

After leaving the town of the Tavern-Go-Round, Jason and Rachel continue their quest for Trensincourt and Nicolas.  On their way, they come across a bag hanging on a pole about 10 feet in the air, and they hear a voice coming from the bag.  It turns out it's a head of a man named Ferrin who was mugged by some men, and separated from his head.  But then if he has been separated from his head, how is his head still talking and alive?  The answer:  Ferrin is a displacer, which is a person who can separate body parts from his body, and they will fuse back together.  Also, when separated from his body, they continue to get blood circulated to their body, and can still feel.  And, Ferrin can even still control the rest of his body.  Anyway, he told them his body had been buried, and all the money he possessed had been taken away from him.  

Jason found where the earth had been tilled and disturbed, marking evidence that this was his burial site, and began digging with his hands to unearth his body.  He then stood on Ferrin's headless shoulders and retrieved his head from the bag.  Then Ferrin removed his head from the bag and fused it back to his neck.  He was so grateful that they had saved him that he agreed to travel with them as long as they were not scared of being prone to danger because displacers are despised and treated with hate and strife.  However, Jason and Rachel are also looked down on for the task they are undertaking, so they agree to travel with him.  

Keeping you in suspense...,

Worth By After Daybreak

Ever since my Freshman year I've wanted so badly to sing with the Quack and the Shimmy Dude.  Well this year, I found this amazing song called Worth by one of my favorite bands, After Daybreak.  After Daybreak is a group of 3 Mormon Men from Utah (GO UTAH!!!!!!!), and they have AMAZING voices, and create amazing harmonies.  I was so impressed with this song because the harmonies were so beautiful. I showed the Quack, and he was impressed!  He was like, "wow!  That's beautiful!  Can you get the sheet music?"  It was pretty cool, and that's the song I want to do.  I haven't shown Shimmy Dude yet, but I am 100 percent certain he'll like it.  The Shimmy Dude loves harmonies, and melody, and anything music.  Same with the Quack.  They're both extremely obsessed with Jazz music, and I'm obsessed with 50's music, and 40's music, so we have a lot in common.  Also, all of us love classical music.  So, anyway, to fill you in on the painting, we named more people on our painting in the Stake Center at seminary. There’s one guy who looks like he has a red crest like a rooster so I named him roostie, and there's one woman who has her hands like a robot, so we call her robot woman.  Then there's a baby and his name is Mr. Barbour Jr. and the other baby in the picture is Mr. Barbour Jr. Jr.  LOL!  Anyway, I have the music video of Worth on here for everyone to see.  I just had to share it it's so beautiful.  Anyway, watch it, and enjoy.
That's all for now.

Snow Cake

Oh my Gosh I found a good movie that I really love called Snowcake!!!! It has my two favorite actors:  Sigourney Weaver and ALAN RICKMAN!  I love it because it's about this man who meets this girl named Vivienne in a diner,  She pesters him into giving her a lift.  They drive for a while, and he tells her about himself.  His name is Alex Hughes.  She wants to be a writer, and she is trying to get to know him, so he can tell her stories to inspire her for writing.  He tells her that he just got out of prison for killing a man, and that she should normally avoid the people who appear normal like he did to her.  He also tells her he has a brother who's gay.  He doesn't talk much because he's sad, and has had a difficult past, but she brings it right out of him.  They start getting really close.  I have two favorite lines.  The first is when they stop to eat at McDonald's and Vivienne says, "So, here we are, sharing a meal. You know if I was a few years older this would be a date."  Than Alex says, "A few? You're generous."  I thought that was hilarious.  My other favorite line is when she has just bought her mother these balls that light up and play music, and Alex says, "Great, just what she always wanted," and Vivienne says "you don't know my mother mister sarcastic!  She's gonna' be beside herself when she sees these." Then right after that it gets really really sad.  Alex pulls the car out, and this music comes on and Vivienne turns it up and starts singing.  He has this big smile on his face.  He’s stopped, waiting to go, when this huge 40 ton demi truck smashes into their car at a rate of at least 90 miles per hour, flipping the car over.  Alex gets out without a scratch, but Vivienne was killed on the spot.  He feels so guilty he can't even stand it, even though it was 100% the semi-truck driver's fault.  Alex goes to pay his respects and confess what role he played to her mother, Linda, but she doesn't show any sadness.  The reason is that she has high-functioning autism, which is why I like it because I can relate incredibly well because I have Aspergers, which is on the autistic spectrum, but not really autism.  That is why I like this movie so much, because it's about a relationship that grows between someone with autism and someone who doesn't.  They end up healing each other, and he falls in love with a girl named Maggie.  With the help of Linda and Maggie, he is slowly able to accept himself again.
Well, that’s a wrap,

Trensincourt and the TAVERN-GO-ROUND - Beyonders (Cont'd)

This blog is for the week of September 12 through 16

The Beyonders (Cont'd)

The bartender says they have puckerlies.  They have the best seafood at the bar.  They serve puckerlies alive.  Puckerlies cost three and a half drooma.  Puckerlies are eaten by squirting a little blue colored pulpa oil to loosen them up.   Then you suck them out and they are gelatinous and good.  They order a platter of puckerlies.  There is a guy sitting at a table near the door that is feeling bad from the spinning.  The guy asks for a bowl of clam chowder.  The bartender says he needs to wash dishes or show him he has money.  Jason offers to purchase clam chowder for the man.  The man is one of the survivors of the Giddy 9, a group of performers.  The man’s name is Tark.  Simeon is the leader of the Giddy 9.  A Prophetess told them that if they played music off of the waterfall they would summon a hero and that is how Jason arrived because there are no heroes in the land.  Jason is the one that shot the arrow in the shoulder of one of the performers.  Tark says that if he meets the one who shot the arrow he will kill him.  Jason indicates that perhaps the one who shot the arrow was just trying to help them and remains silent about the arrow.  Jason tells Tark if he really wants to be a hero and go after a villain, then he should go after Maldor.  Tark agrees and gets confident and heads out of the TAVERN-GO-ROUND and starts stomping.  In Lyrian, women do not count for much.  Kerny asks Rachael and Jason how they liked the Puckerlies.  Rachael responds first.  Kerny gives Jason a weird look.  Jason replies saying Rachael gets excited about her food.  Kerny asks if Jason and Rachael need a place to stay.  Kerny says his mother owns an inn.  Kerny escorts Rachael and Jason to the Inn. 
There is this guy with curly orange hair and tons of freckles wearing a long sack with holes in it who says that Jason and Rachael smell like foreigners.  Kerny says it is five drooma for one room.  Jason pays for two rooms.  Jason explains Rachael is his sister, so the cost for the rooms is 8 drooma.  Later on, Rachael and Jason receive a knock on the door.  Jason opens it and it is Ned.  Jason grabs his pinyard.  Ned tackles him and takes the pinyard.  Ned says that Jason knows of the book that is bound in human skin.   Ned has a string and is controlled by Maldor.  Ned covers the string on his hand with a black glove.  Ned tells Jason he is in danger.  Jason and Rachael are almost out of food to eat.  Rachael goes to talk Gerta to see if she can get some food.  ason naps.  Ned taps on Jason’s window.  Ned and Jason go up on the roof.  Some guys come in and check the rooms.  Jason and Ned jump off the roof.  When the men cannot find Jason, they run away.

GALLORAN - Beyonders (cont'd)

This post is for the week of September 12 through 16.
Beyonders (cont'd).
Jugard is safe from the crab because the opening of the cave is too small for the crab to get through.  Rachael comes in saying something chasing her.  Jugard says Macroid cannot resist blood.  Twice Jugard had cut himself on accident and Macroid would bang at the entrance for hours trying to get at Jugard.  Jugard noosed Puggles to use him as bait and he jumped on top of him and sliced him while Jason and Rachael were already running ahead, and then he cut the rope.  Rachael and Jason barely escape.  Now the crab is chasing Puggles.  It slices Puggles in half. 
Rachael and Jason get out of the elevator and they are safe.  Before they left, Jugard had told Jason who he could contact to find some information on the word that can kill Galloran.  The person Jason must find is located in Trensincourt and his name is Nicholas Dangler.  Jason and Rachael travel for a while and they end up in a fishing town where  here are a lot of different faded buildings.  There is a spinning building that is spinning really fast.  There is a boxed shaped face man (red) he pulls them in.  The TAVERN-GO-ROUND is the name of the building.  They walk in a room in the building where there are tables all around.  There is a guy there that asks what he can get them.  Jason and Rachael had to balance because of the spinning.  Jason asked why the building is spinning.  The bartender tells him that it is due to an underground river.  The speed depends on the current speed of the river.  The bartender tells him it is going fairly slow at this time.  When he walks to the middle of the bar the spinning force lessens.  The name of the bartender is Kerny.
