First of all, my Ameriminions seem to be having a great time coming up with their opening lines, and I have to say the standard has been superb. There's still ages left to go, of course- the deadline is October 23rd- so keep submitting them in the comment section to the last post. It's all been very impressive so far- some real writers out there, and every few hours I have a new favourite... SO KEEP SUBMITTING!
Here are the things you need to do to be in with a chance of winning:
If you have a Facebook page, you could change your profile pic to the new Tom Percival US cover, then post a link on your Facebook wall to the eBook here http://bit.ly/qNJYCP.
If you're on Twitter, you could tweet (I'm sorry, I'll never be able to take this word seriously) a message out using the following hashtag- #FREESkulduggeryebookUS . It can be about anything connected to the free eBook offer but it must contain a link to the page http://bit.ly/qNJYCP and a request to re-tweet your tweet. Good God. Tweeting, retweeting, hashtags... Does ANYONE understand what the hell I'm talking about?
If you have a different online profile- like MSN, YouTube, Blog, Tumblr, etc- then you could post a status update which includes the cover and the link http://bit.ly/qNJYCP ...
Now, if you do ANY of those things, you MUST tell me in the Comments section to THIS post. Tell me EXACTLY what you've done and you'll be automatically entered into the competition. The closing date is October 31st, the competition is open to EVERYONE in EVERY country (yep, that includes you Ameriminions), and 10 winners will be selected at random by me.
Ready? Set? GO.

I want to say Cisgender I don't know if that fits... Soph when you come back help me with the word please I don't want to seem ignorant and I also think that I know what it is I just haven't woken up yet...
I'm going to go have a shower see if that helps:P bbs )
@Sophia: Ooh. I like your middle name.
And your frist name and your last name, but I didn't know your middle name until now, so . . . :P
@Keiron: Cisgender - identify with the gender you were assigned at birth.
I still don't know which word you're reaching for, though. :(
However, as far as I'm aware, and I know both Sophia and Dragona pretty well, Dragona is a cisgender male and Sophia is a cisgender female.
*Sorry
(Thank you, Star. I would possibly argue it does not suit me a great deal - the name in general - but I am glad you like it. And yes, you are correct about the genders.)
@Sophia: Yay. :)
(Star - I do not think I know your middle name, either.)
(Correct me if I'M wrong because that happens and well I don't like seeming wrong...
Sophia is in Dragona's mind ? Or has my imagination been running wild?
So... if true then Fera didn't see you as a woman but as a man with a woman's personality in his head? aka talking to you is talking to him therefore you are a guy ? So by saying come here baby to a girl in a guys mind he is effectively saying I'm basically asking a dude to have sex therefore I'm not homophobic?
-sorry if any of that is wrong... ect. please enlighten me otherwise.-)
@Sophia: Megan. :)
@Keiron: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how Fera saw it (correct me if I'm wrong, Fera). I just see Sophia as a different person to Dragona, seeing as how they're, like, different people.
(Star - That is a nice name, also.
Keiron - You are correct about me being in his head, but he was not in the conversation. I am a woman, and I wish to be treated as such. He was not asking a male for anything.)
(Yes, Star.)
@Sophia: :) Thanks. I guess. I didn't pick it. XD
And - :)
Haha Lizzie's just sat there calling Dan a faggot now and I'm like "err . . . " XD
(Yeh I got things right I rather like when I know what's going on .... I see you as a different person and treat you as such too, I am just saying that may have been how he interpreted it.
are we going to have to have the same convo with them :P lol )
@Keiron: Eh.
(because this whole convo was sparked off of that.)
@Keiron: Yeah.
(Apologies, it seems I disappeared briefly.)
((I did point it out, you know.))
(Star - Are you able to roleplay?)
@Sophia: I think so, yes.
(Good.)
((Although I msd for lunch. Also my internet isn't having the best day. :/))
Morgan: Yes.
(That is fine, Star, I am in pretty much the same position. I replied after Morgan said yes, however. I will post it again.)
Elizabeth: Where does it lead?
((@Sophia: Oh.
Sorry.
Missed it. :(
Back now. But I might vanish to recharge/fall asleep.
OH wait I can't fall asleep because if I do I won't sleep tonight.
Ugh.))
Morgan: |New plan. Amy's.|
My friend's house.
*sighs*
(*would like to point out you can sleep with member of the same sex and still be homophobic*)
Onwa: *takes Liliana's hand, following her*
James: a couple of unfortunate souls, mainly the strong men as I find the irony amusing.
Mmm..
Manuel: *follows her*
((You know when you look at people you know well who're as tired as f and you can just tell they are by seeing it in their faces?
Well, I just glanced at myself in the mirror as I was pacing around the living room, and I looked like that.
ahsiansiamakmkmmmmmmmmmmmk I may need to go to sleep even if it means I won't be able to sleep tonight and so will be tired tomorrow.))
@Jai: . . . Very true.
I should have caught that one.
(@Star xD its fine, you can't always catch these things.)
@Jai: Not unless I had a reeeeeeeeeally good net. :)
(@Star exactly :) I mean, your net is good, almost nearly really good, but not quite.)
((@Jai: Hahaha no my net is actually ratehr rubbish.
(@Star it isn't!)
@Jai: *laughs* No, seriously, I'm sooooooooooo bad.
OMNG
I KEEP FACEPLANTING ON MY KEYBOARD IN EXHAUSTION AND IT DOES WEIRD STUFF TO THE SCREEN
OMG
Alright. I can't focus on anythign adn keep faceplanting my keyboard adn it's not gonna get better, so I'm going to sleep.
*vanishes from lite+
*hugs zaf*
Omg.
I can't sleep.
As soon as I lift my head off the pillow my eyed are closing but when I put my head on the pillow I'm.wide awake.
Wtf world
(Keep your head off the pillow till you fall asleep at which point it'll fall onto it :P )
Okay, I'm not sure if I feel asleep or not, but I went to a place, and Idek if it helped.
ugh.
(Hello!
Literally went to bed at six yesterday)
(Hey Chloe.)
(How art thou Jai?)
(Melting. Roasting. It's so warm in my room. You?)
Omg
so sick of this. -_-
(@Star ?)
(I'm good
My cold is clearing up
I've decided I love work
Everyone is awesome!
Except that guy who sat next to me yesterday
I wanted to strangle him
And apparently he stunk, but I had a blocked nose
This woman who works with me pulled one of the supervisors aside to tell him
So this guy was moved XD)
(Hey star
Whatever it is, imaging sticking on labels on face masks and packing them allll day)
@CHloe: XD XD
I'm really glad things are going well for you. :) :) :)
@Jai: Bieng tired and not being able to sleep.
@Chloe: Did you have music?
(Yes, this afternoon was great
Work finished early, chocolate, music blaring, everyone happy, easy work..)
(@Chloe xDDD I'm glad you like it :)
And that you're getting better.
Rp?)
@Star ahhhhhh
@Chloe: :) :) :)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SO HYPER
I KEEP FIZZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
OMG
(Okay Jai *.^ where did we leave it?)
(*laughs at starry*
@Chloe mark lunged for Coles throat?)
(Um okay )
Cole; *lunges for his throat*
@Jai: Not funnyyyyyyyyyy
Fizzyyyyyyyyyyy
I know they begin and end with the same letterrrrrrr but that doesn't mean they're the sameeeeeeeeee
It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten
I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled
I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why
I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride
Mark: *is still struggling to see through the blood*
*as such, doesn't notice the attack until it's too late, jumping back the tiniest bit, enough to avoid veins being shredded but not to prevent Cole's canines penetrating his throat*
*yowls, whining, staying very still*
(*Chuckles at star*)
*rolls around fizzing*
Cole: *lets go*
(*laughs, watching star*)
Mark: *legs shake*
*backs up slowly, tail halfway between his legs, growling loudly*
Cole: *tilts head *
Mmh.
Not funny.
I rolled onto my laptop.
Bad thigns happen when my head hits my laptop. :P
See? You learn soemthing every day.
(xD stop hitting your laptop!)
Mark: *lunges forwards*
*he doesn't intend to go down easily*
*I advise biting either his stomach or balls*
*preferably stomach*
*rip the skin a bit too*
@Jai: Omg it doesn't hurt it.
Cole: *dodges the attack*
*goes under and bites his stomach forcefully but not that hard*
Mark: *yelps, pulling away, effectively making the wound bigger*
*howls in pain, knees buckling*
Cole: *stands back and waits*
Mark: *struggles to stand, breathing raggedly*
*won't last much longer*
Cole: *shifts into a human* surrender
Mark: *growls quietly*
*stays wolf*
Cole: *sighs* behave and I'll get inky to heal you
Mark: *fur bristles at the idea of being in his debt*
*growls more*
*yelps as a judder runs though his whole body (brain damage) causing his already weak legs to give way under him*
*yelps, landing on his stomach*
*whines*
Cole: *slowly walks over to him*
Mark: *doesn't have the energy to stand*
*whines more, averting his gaze*
*closes his eyes, waiting for the killing blow*
Cole: *picks him up gently* you're obviously too weak to fight properly, come on *starts walking towards the cottage*
Mark: *flinches at Coles touch*
*opens his eyes, confused*
*why isn't he dead*
Cole: *walks hastily to the cottage and shouts out* some one open the door!
I think I feel kind of alright now.
:)
(We have bloody stubborn Jehovah witnesses knocking on our door
Believe in what you want but don't try and impose your views on others, like
I'm stuck in the living room until their gone
I need the loo)
(tell them you're a satanist :P )
(They're gone now
If they looked in the window and saw me, I would've answered the door and pretended I was deaf
I know some sign language)
@Chloe: -_- -_-
(I don't know why they don't believe in blood transfusions and the like *frowns*)
(How are you k?)
@Chloe: *shrugs helplessly*
Ed and Harry. XD
Fucking brilliant.
Hello people
(But surely to them 'all life is precious' so helping to prolong it so that sortof thing would be okay)
(I'm dead inside. wbu?)
(Hey vi! *tacklehuggles*)
(I'm good thanks
Wanna speak about it on skype?)
Hi Chloe! *is tacklehugged and returns a glomp*
(*is glomped* how art thou, Bach?)
(Nah... )
(It helps to speak)
I don't know about Bach, but I can say that I'm pretty good :)
(not when, there isn't words to explain.)
(K email
Check it please :) )
(Hi peoples *waves and offers hugs to all, offers extra bro hugs to K because yeah* *might be needed*
*now will be distant because I'm reading my book :D * )
(*huggles k* try smiling
Hehe I should explain vi XD 'Bach' translates to 'small' in welsh, but is used as a yer of endearment
Like:
'Hows it going Bach? ')
(*huggles rhos* hello! How art thou?)
Chloe :) Ah, I get it now. Well, even if that weren't a term of endearment, it would be pretty accurate for me, cuz I am insanely tiny.
How be you?
(How tiny?
I be hyped
Had two cans of red bulllll!)
Chloe: XD
About 5' 1 1/2" and a like 95-ish pounds
(*pats Rhos* Sorry, in advance.
*pats chloe* all I do is smile. I want to *looks off into the distance not finishing his sentance*
*waves @ vi with no energy in the wave*
typing is hard.... It takes effort, too much effort. )
(I'm 5'3 so not that much taller XD)
*frowns and waves back at K, then goes over and gently hugs him*
(Please finish that sentence )
@Andviolet: You're above five foot, so you're not doing too badly. :)
Star: Hi :) and yeah, I know, but I am definitely above average in height and completely tiny in weight
*below average
@ANdviolet: Mmh.
(I am 8 stone 10
But according to slimming world I should be 8 stone 1 *frowns*
But I don't think it takes into account muscle weighs more than fat
I do work out a fair bit and I'm definately no over weight)
(i'm 6'1 pushing 6'2 I think if I remember right... I dunno i might be lying? who cares.
*pats Vi*
Hugging will not solve problems.
*poofs into the darkness beyond the darkness where light is only a myth*)
@Chloe: Don't listen to slimming world. -_- And, yeah. It doesn't take muscle weight into account - it just assumed all extra weight is fat.
*assumes
(I don't have much of me to lose )
*returns Chloe's hug* I'm pretty alright thank you, had a fun convo with a guy in the states on xbox live... Ahhh good times lol :D )
(K you have nothing to be sorry for Bro, honestly)
(Ho Vi :) )
(Chloe whoever said 8 stone 10 is overweight, is probably the dumbest person ever and wants to be the same thickness as a pencil shaving.... So just ignore what they said
Because your weight is fine!
And + 1 to what star said )
(Thanks
It doesn't bother me really
I work out
If anything I should cut down on chips XD)
(Why is it soooo quiet?)
*coughs to break the silence*
Better? Lol :D )
I hate when...
I hate when your heart it just- crushed...
:/ I had so much excitement and happiness- I was so hopeful..
...
I can't do this
(Thanks rhos XD)
(What's wrong Noelle? *huggles*)
(happy to be of service Chloe :P )
(*offers hug to Noelle* as Chloe said, what's wrong?
If you don't want to go public about it, email me? )
(I can't wait for the carnival tomorrow !)
No
No I can't
Just
I need to go. I... I just can't do this anymore.
(rhos, If I hit enter don't think of me differently... I'm also sorry if punctuation becomes a problem...)
(sounds fun as I said earlier lol :P )
(for Chloe that is (the above) )
(Okay K, punctuation won't be a problem (I hope) and i shouldn't do because I don't judge people)
(I'm sorry Noelle )
(My email is open Noelle )
Sorry, I randomly disappeared...
But now I have to go anyways...
So bye, I guess... *hugs everyone here*
(Hello.)
Ember: Do we just swim through?
Hotel receptionist: *she leads them to the top floor of the hotel, handing Onwa a key and pointing to a door* It is that room there. Number six. I hope you enjoy your stay.
Parasite: But women are more fun to torture, sure?
Bethany: I love you... So much. Both of you. Different ways, obviously, but still...
Lily: Do you want to see what a life looks like?
(Hey Soph
Byii vi)
(Hello, Chloe.)
Mark: *flinches at the loud noises*
*is rapidly loosing blood*
*whines quietly*
Onwa: *takes the key*
Thank you. I'm sure we will.
James: Some times. Mostly the gender doesn't matter, that just changes their torture method. What matters is their claimed strength, and their cockyness. I like to belittle people.
*kisses her, smiling* Love you too Bethy. Do you want anything for breakfast?
Manuel: A life..?
(I will be back soon.)
Cole: damn *bashes the door down and runs upstairs *
*places him on the bed and activates healing sigils*
And I'm not here, there was just something I noticed
K: With a hug, I know that it doesn't fix things, that it doesn't solve the problem-but it at least says that someone notices, that someone cares. I know you can't fix everything with a hug, and I wasn't attempting to. But it's a start.
Mark: *blinks as he heals, slowly focusing*
*would his brain damage be fixed..?*
*I don't know if it would.*
Cole: *the sigils heal any wound *
*even the brain, that's my theory*
*okay :)*
Mark: *sighs, relaxing slightly, opening his eyes*
*focuses on Cole*
...hi..?
Cole: *grunts* hi mark
Mark: Thank you.. for healing me.. I-I should get back to the pack..
*quickly slips off the bed*
Liliana: This room should cover the entire top floor of the hotel.
Parasite: I have noticed. I find women more fun to torture, personally. Men are just so boring. I prefer a woman's scream.
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Maybe some fruit?
Lily: Yes? I can show you what a life looks like. If I can remember how to do it, I mean.
Cole: my pack
Onwa: Mmm.. so lots of space.
James: *chuckles*
On the contary, men's screams are sometimes harder to extract, giving a better sense of achievement.
Okay.
*lifts her up, again bridal style, moving to the fruit bowl*
What type?
Manuel: That.. yes, please.
Mark: *pauses*
The, pack.
*walks towards the door*
For me, I hug people when they're upset because of one or more of the following reasons -
- to show I care
- because I just feel so helpless and I don't know what to do except show I care
- I can't express my caring in words
Cole: *blocks his way and crosses his arns* not so fast
I don't hug to fix the problem. I'm usually beyond all hope of fixing the problem. So I just do what I can to make it better - like Andviolet said. :)
(*hugs star*)
Mark: *glares at him*
Let me past
((Omg.
I fucking love Ed adn Harry.
Well, I don't, but I love watching them.
They're just so ridiculous. XD XD
Omg.))
Morgan: Yeah.
:) *hugs Jai*
^Oh, I also just hug people sometimes because I like people and want to hug them. But that's not in relation to a problem, so it didn't need covering.
Cole: nope
Mark: Why not.
(*hugs Star*
*hugs Chloe*
*hugs vi*
*hugs Rhos*
*hugs everyone* :P thanks :D)
Star: Yeah, all of what you just said is basically what I was trying to say :)
And hi, everyone! I'm here, but mbd, cuz like, life and stuff..
(*hugs k*)
Cole; because you're a crap alpha, and you have topromose me something
Mark: *glares at him*
*keeps his opinion to himself*
What.
@Keiron: :)
@Andviolet: :) Yay.
Well, you covered most of what I was trying to say with what you said, althoguh I didn't realise that until the end. XD XD
*hugs K*
Star:XD We're so in sync right now. How be you?
Cole; let eira stay with me
(*hugs Jai too* that was implied in every one btw I just got annoyed writing too many names and I wanted to include ghosters and stuff you know :P
how is everyone?)
Liliana: Indeed, yes.
Parasite: But women's screams come more often, so it is more entertaining.
Bethany: *she smiles, cuddling against Silente* Your choice.
Lily: *she smiles, taking his hand, starting to head up some stairs to the left which spiral up as they navigate towards the top of a tower*
@Andviolet: Our mental synchronisation . . .
I think I'm alright, thanks. :) I've been pretty rubbish today, but I've felt a lot better in the past few hours, so yeah, I'm alright.
You?
K: I'd say I'm prett good. Has anything improved in your life? You at least seem a bit calmer.
hello people ^_^
Star: Can have but one explanation...
That's good to hear. Well, read... Same thing. Psh! I'm pretty alright
And for my last comment: *pretty
Ember: Well, I'll be glad to get out of the water. *she swims through the portal*
Elizabeth: *she follows Ember through*
Mark: I.. Okay. Sure.
Onwa: Mmm.. good.
James: Mm.. but less rewarding.
*holds her close* Mm.. Apple.
*picks up an Apple, setting it on the side to turn the tap on, washing it thoroughly*
*hands it to Beth, turning the tap off*
Manuel: *smiles, walking with her*
Hey Fera :) *hugs* how be you?
*hugs back* i am really good, how are you? :)
(things are better for now :P I don't feel insane anymore :
@star aww :( how what happened? glad you feel better :D
@vi that's good too :D yeh soy for that... )
(Hey Fera!)
Cole: really?
Fera: I'm swell, and glad you're really good :)
K: Well, that's good that you're feeling better. And no need to be sorry, I was just making sure you were alright :)
Mark: Yeah. You can have Eira.
Hey Fera. :)
@Andviolet: You -
((This is actually Darcie and Cat's song. XD))
Morgan: *swims through after them*
*they'll land in a square box of a garden that is mostly dominated by lawn* *there's some, like, actual plants at the borders, but there's also quite a few weeds - the owner is clearly not overly bothered abotu garden maintenance* *there's walls along three sides of the garden* *there's also another low (somewhere between knee adn wasite height) wall along the fourth side, with a large gap in between, and behind that wall is a bit of decking ((is that what you call it??)) and then a house* *a bungalow, to be precise* *the day is warm and sunny in a way that implies the house is somehwere that isn't England*
*the garden is also very wet, water from the ocean pouring out of the portal*
Morgan: *dismisses the portal by putting his hand out to it*
*is still bleednig*
Star: I don't actually know who those people are, but oh well.
And I-
@Keiron: I was tired. :P
Yeah, me too. :)
Cole: what if she has your pups?
@Andviolet: My friends. XD
Were -
Mark: I.. guess you'll want them too..
hey everyone, star, vi, and clo :) thanks for welcoming me ^_^
violet: thank you :) (wanna continue rp? ^_^ though maybe...we could leave the romantic part out cuz got a gf and idk how comfortable i am with...you know, even if it's just my char :) )
clo: wanna continue rp? :)
Liliana: Could you open the door?
Parasite: I disagree.
Bethany: *she smiles, biting the apple*
Lily: *they reach the top of the tower, where there is a stone alter* Lets see if I can remember... *her hands glow white, and she dips her hands into the alter, coming up with a white orb of moving energy* One moment... *she moves her hands apart, and the orb grows in size, showing intricate glowing strands*
(awk yeh I rememebr glad you're better anyhow :P
:P welll I think I'm going to go record for ze youtube :P as I have vids there but I don't want them.... I might edit choices... hmmm :P)
Cole: you killed Justin, you can't be trusted with kids. I will raise them as my own
Ember: Eh... Needs more fire. *she wrings the water from her hair*
Elizabeth: Are you alright, Morgan?
Onwa: *unlocks the door, opening it with a bow*
M'lady.
James: Hmm.. perhaps it is about balance.
Tasty?
Manuel: *blinks, stepping closer, watching*
Wow... is this an example life force or an existing one?
@Fera: O_O
I am going to haev to say 'wtf' to that, although I have to admit that it makes me pretty damn uncomfortable when Morgan flirts with people (although flirting makes me uncomfortable in general -_-).
Mark: Yeah.. I thought you'd prefer that.
*sighs*
Star: just-
Fera: sure, and I'm okay with that. But I don't exactly remember where we left off... It sure has been a while. You can start.
