I'm good thanks Lilie!!! And you?
WB Val!!!¡¡¡!!!
Here's part of my story! WARNING: IT'S AWESOME.
Ivy decided to just walk to Anomaly Despair’s house, because it wasn’t too far from her own. She had to duck in cover a few times, because she thought she might have been seen on her way over, but whoever she thought saw her just walked on, ignoring her. Ivy crept behind the bushes once she reached Anomaly’s neighbourhood.
Anomaly’s house was white with a pale green trim. Her yard looked nice. There was a silver car parked in the driveway. Ivy stood outside the house, debating what would be the best way to get in without making any noise. She saw the lights in the house flick off. She supposed that meant Anomaly was going to bed. It was about 10:00, after all. Ivy chose that the best way to get in was through a window.
Looking around the outside of the house, she saw several windows. There was one by the front door, and she assumed that was the living room window. That probably wouldn’t be the best choice. There were also a few large windows along the right side of the house, and there was a smaller one on the far left side. She chose to go in that one. She waited twenty minutes before doing anything. She crept over to the window. She glimpsed in it first, checking that no one was there. She saw a sink, a shower curtain, a toilet, but no people. It was the window to the bathroom. Suddenly reminded of the Beatles song “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”, Ivy crawled through.
She crept silently through the dark house. Wandering in the dark was something Ivy did often, and it had been easy from the start, thanks to her magic. The walls were painted a greyish-blue, and had a few paintings on them. The floors were clean, and the house was quiet. Peering in the cracks of open doors, Ivy looked for any trace of someone being in the rooms. She couldn’t find anyone. She heard the floor creak behind her. In less than an instant she had whipped out her knife and turned around.
Anomaly Despair caught Ivy’s wrist, the knife only centimetres from her throat.
Ivy stared in disbelief. It was… impossible. How did Anomaly do that? And then a voice came, unwillingly, into Ivy’s head:
Why?
Suddenly Ivy felt a huge wave of energy and was sent flying backwards with so much force that the wall she hit cracked. Shocked at what had just happened, Ivy glanced up to see the look of surprise on Anomaly’s face. Anomaly hadn’t done anything on purpose – she looked just as stunned as Ivy did. It was probably because she had been flung into the wall behind her as well. Ivy looked down. She didn’t want Anomaly to see her face. If she did, she would be able to recognise her later on, because Ivy wasn’t finishing this tonight. She couldn’t. Something was wrong with what Anomaly had done, and it did something to Ivy.
Ivy stood up slowly, taking a quick glance to make sure Anomaly wasn’t going to make any sudden moves. After taking a deep breath, Ivy closed her eyes and disappeared.
Ivy reappeared in her bedroom. She had barely taken two steps before she collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Bye Holly!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hi/Bye Darkflair!!!¡¡¡!!!
I'm good!
G2G Bye *hugs*
Bye Lilie!!!¡¡¡!!!
I'm going to go write again, because if I don't, I'll forget what I was going to type! I need someone to be brutally murdered! And, as such, that needs to happen now in my story... Bye again!
Bye Val!!!¡¡¡!!!
hmmmmm. I just red Holly's fic. It's interesting. Well written and fits with the theme of the show. But perhaps not my cup of tea.
I'm probably more suited to visual action when there aren't any living skeletons involved.
It's still a good story though
Oh I can't wait for the rest of Val's story...
MURDERS!
All these stories....
I'm gonna post my story on my blog! Then I wont feel left out!
*looks up at the sky and, shaking my head in slow motion, screams* Nooooooooooooooo!
*growls* I have to wear a dress again tonight... Grrr... I thought I was done for 2011...
Hmmm... I need a name for the guy getting murdered... And he's not magical, so he needs to have a mortal name...
Hi Kal!!!¡¡¡!!!
Merry Christmas Kal!!!
*hugs*
MERRY CHRISTMAS KAL!!!
*starts another Christmas party* *invites the book characters, including Tanith, who is no longer possessed for the party*
Merry Holidays cyber buddies.
(>^.^)>MERRY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY CHRISTMAS<(^.^<)
I'm good! :)
How are you?
Hi Kimberley!!!¡¡¡!!!
Hi everyone! *hands out Christmas cookies* *leans over and whispers, "I stole these. From Santa."*
*Santa falls through the ceiling* *elves fall in after him* *Santa points at me and screams, "VALKYRIE CAIN! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STOLE MY COOKIES!"*
*curses*
I'm gonna go write a Christmas Skulduggery fanfic... I'll be back in a little while!
Btw Kal, I'm on iTouch so chat wouldn't work. :(
I made some snickerdoodles about two days ago. When I made them they had the consistency of cake and now they have the consitency of a rock. (/).-)
Oooh, I got to open two more presents... I got Just Dance 3 - those games are actually really fun to play with people - and a pair of pajamas, because that's our little tradition :)
Yeah, it does kind of suck. At least they're still edible!
Eating your creations is really the only upside in baking.
I'm off to play Just Dance with my sister Jaida... She's never played before... Hopefully I win against her...
Bye for a while!
Have fun!
Sorry for being distant…
Hey Pyro. May I interest you in a rock hard snickerdoodle?
What's a snickerdoodle?
And, uh, I suppose so.
It's a cinnamon-sugar cookie.
*gives snickerdoodle*
Try not to break your teeth while eating...
*noms on a snickerdoodle*
Delicious!
:D
*comes back from playing Just Dance* That... game... is... so... tiring.... *falls over*
The game has 'This is Halloween', though, which is from my favourite movie EVER... And if you play as the Pumpkin King, everyone has to, like, worship you while you just jump up and down... 'Twas fun.
And I have to get ready for Christmas Eve Mass at my church... If I don't come back later...
MERRRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME HOLIDAY!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
And maybe, just maybe, I won't be dissected by Nye this Christmas, and maybe Skulduggery will get me a present. Who knows? It could happen...
BYE!!!
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!! OH HOW I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. I leave now. Maybe.
IT'S 11:52 HERE. 8 MINUTES TILL CHRISTMAS.

*starts doing Christmasy dances* *jumps up and down on the tables, jumps out at little kids, and tears open imaginary Blogland gifts*
I have to go to bed now...

Derek, I got your movie, "Boy Eats Girl". I plan to watch it with Amanda, because we love zombies!
And, and, and, and, I got something, and I'm about to post a picture of it. (sorry if it, you know, did something to the copyright... BUT IT'S AMAZING.)
OKAY! IT HAS BEEN POSTED! HERE IT IS!!!
http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/2011/12/merrry-christmas.html
And right now you might be thinking that it isn't worth looking at.. Most things I post are nonsense, after all, but THIS ONE IS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!
I'm back! Huddled by my radiator after going on a long walk in the icy winds, which wasn't fun. But I DID get lovely things (including THIS Doctor Who shirt~! http://dyn3.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/80498.jpg.size-300_maxheight-300_square-true.jpg ) which was great.
Val, that's amazing. How did you get it? Is it official merchandise or something someone crafted for you?
Merry Xmas!!!!!

Yep. I'm using my Skulduggery blanket that I got for Christmas.
Holly- It was specially ordered for ME!
im on my new LAPTOP... *HEHE*
Did you see my blanket? I posted a picture of it.
YES I DID
Isn't it awesome? I also got a new black coat... It looks even more like Valkyrie's than my old one... And I watched Derek's movie, which was weird, but I got it earlier.
(Psst... Derek...
"Why don't we just stay here till dawn? Doesn't sunlight kill them?"
"No, that's vampires."
"There are vampires too?!"
"SHUT UP!"
XD I'm glad that lady died. She was annoying.)
*stares at val* MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wanna write a story together
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ASLO!!!
I don't know.
im so bored... i don't have Microsoft word yet...
i have an idea.. its crazy but it just might work
you might want to hear it
fine then i wont tell you..
I'll be back... I have to go clean up all the wrpping paper I left on the ground...
hey hey hey
oh valkyrie
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
Now, to go make a Skulduggery Pleasant Sims3 family...
hey sparjy please stay im lonely *loneliness*
That, that is the COOLEST blanket I have ever seen.
would you like to come to ireland to the launch of the ninth book to meet derek etc.?
And I can't go on Sims 3 yet.
I'm thinking about making an SP family, but it will be SUPER hard.
I thinking of doing a Tanith and Ghastly household, and I'll malt Ghastly wear a hat all the time.
And yes Flame. If I could do that I would arrive three weeks early to get a good seat. Maybe a month.
well i have a brilliant idea, maybe alll the minions could do that.
wanna hear?
Yes. Now tell me.
every minion who enjoys writing should get together and write short stories,,, then we could put them all together like in a book, send them to a publisher and try and get them published
its crazy but it could work... maybe
then maybe get money, enough to get minions to ireland
Like 'A Collaborative Effort To Meet The Golden God'?
I will join this attempt. But it might help if the minions weren't scattered around the world.
*sparky there is our title*
i shall make a blog and post links everywhere
wanna join the blog?
Can I make it, and then you join?
Or is it too late for that?
yeah please

No... I'm a novice. Maybe you should do it.

ha i got your email,, got distracted writing..
i found a few abandoned drafts on my blogs, IVE REVERTED THEM TO THE STORY WITH EVERYONE.. ITS GOOD
Cool :D :D
wanna hear a bit?
Zorabose looked up at the demon. It was scary sure, but it was weak. It had six eyes all the way around its head. It had too many arms to count, and was slimy and sick looking. She shuddered. The thing made a move. It launched all of it's arms at her swinging them crazily. She shrieked and tried to roll away. A tentacle type thing collided with her back. She was sent sprawling on her face.
"Ooh, that's gonna leave a bruise MR. Monster." She muttered bitterly. "But this is going to a bigger one...." she saw it swinging again, " ON YOU!..."
Zorabose rolled avoiding the tentacle, She hopped up and cursed. Flame took her gun off her during training. She was annoyed. The monster snarled. Zorabose was in the training room Flame had bought for them to combat and get better. Zorabose didn't know how that helped. The monster struck her, causing her to fly back and hit the wall. It was a stone wall, and it cracked on impact. It wasn't as weak as she had thought. "Ow...!", she groaned
Coooolness ! Oh thats the one that you asked who wanted to be in it on ur blog right? Where Do I come in?
in a bit..
heres the opening paragraph of your bit
Flame stood and looked through the small hatch. He didn't know how he ended out in the middle of the sea, on a large rotted wooden boat. He looked at his wooden surroundings. It would have been completely dark, if it was not for that hatch.
"Oh well", he muttered, slumping to the ground. He glanced at his waist to see if his weapons were there. They were'nt. "Didn't think so", he whispered. He clicked his fingers, trying to summon a spark. Nothing happened. "Thought so..."
you help him escape.. then they go get zorabose, then robin comes in *smiles*

thanks..
post a bit of yours
Oh u asked a while ago what my Fan-fic-that-will-be-crap is about. Well Me. Crystal Darkflair by Crystal Darkflair. :D
I have it in a notebook and it would take a while to type it all out so I'll do it tomorow okay?
kk.
i was thinking of a second part to the story about you..
Crystal appeared in a barn somewhere in Australia. Her magic hadn't failed her thank god. There was hay behind her. She was tired, and quickly checking the hay was dry, she collapsed upon it and soon fell asleep.
Awesome! You must like write ALL the time
only during maths, history and geography!!
ideas run through my mind non stop its un natural
oh my god I HATE maths and geography! I used to love history in Primary School but in secondry its just sooooooo boringgg
i know my teachers are sooooooooo annoying..
Same They just drone on and on and on about complete rubbish well its probably something really interesting but they way they explain it sounds like A differents language in slow motion or something XD
oh my god, my geography teacher is like
"a meander is found in the youthful stage an bla blah blah"
i dont bother listening
I have to confess I wouldn't even wait for the second word I would just hear
"a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah"
But Then i got all A's in my Christmas tests so I dunno I must hear something.
i think u left so i'm going to go now! Night Blogland!
I made a blog because I.was.so.very.very.bored,
http://crystalswonderfulfanfic.blogspot.com/
And It probably won't be all fanfic there will be random stuff too like ooohh I don't know we'll see ...... :D And just to remind you
http://crystalswonderfulfanfic.blogspot.com/
Val, that's wonderful! Whoever custom ordered for you must know you really well.
I just finished Death Bringer, and...
[SPOILERS SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY]
It was my favourite (bar the first book) so far. I don't actually tend to say that with each new book as it comes out, but I really loved the plot twists, and reveals - that were neither unsurprising nor totally shoehorned in - and the character development. I'm also a little thankful I didn't see Tanith and Billy Rae; I have nothing against them, but I like a break from the cycling of POVs.
I also literally gasped out loud when the Lord Vile reveal was, well, /revealed/, and laughed during the Alice/Desmond baby holding scene. I loved the Alien reference! My family didn't get it when I tried to explain it to them, but more fool them, I suppose. Silly normal people.
I'm so glad we only have to wait until March for more Skulduggery! Though I'm sad we even have to wait that long... I think I might do another Great Reread of the series, just like I did for Harry Potter before the last book came out.
Derek, not sure if you'll answer this, but - Have you ever thought of expanding your amount of illustrations in the books, rather than just the covers and faux (faux? I don't know if they're really) illuminated letters. I find the series is the most visual and cinematic of any I've read in a while and I find myself wishing for illustrations (in the gorgeous art style already there) more and more often.
Merry Christmas, everyone!~
Anyone here?
Sparky, I'm off to bed, but there's about 80 comments on the newest blog post...
Readeh~
Dinner brb
Kk
We here now?
Hey Flame!
OK Robin!
Yup shadow
Yup what?
back
he was just confirming that we are here Shads
Oh, right.
WB!
Danke. Watching Pointless
Will be distant.
Hey guys!
Guess what.
I'm writing new story, j have like a good lot written- need to type it up.
But do you know the Jonah Sanfrics story on my blog?
I'm merging that with a prequel to the origin.
Don't ask me why, but I am. Sparky and flame are appearing in one scene. So is malum. But I think it's going to be epic.
And also the apocalypse chronicles will revolve around this.
It's a bit far fetched- but as me being me- it'll work out.
Sounds good...
