In other news, Molly, your tale of woe concerning the author you have to have brunch with had me laughing. I can't wait to find out how the story ends.
In yet other news, I watched the final Sherlock tonight. Much better than last week's, thank God. A relentless plunge into second-guesses and secret plans. Liked it a LOT.
And in even MORE other news, five minutes ago I crossed the 20,000 word mark on Book 7. I don't think I've ever written this fast before. Looks like I'll have it done on time after all...
And to top it all off, here is some religious humour...
... some existential humour...
... and some cat humour...

Yup. Reading right now.
The new bit?
Hey, wait. I've read this one. Is it in your blog, or a collaborative effort to meet the golden god?
I HAVEN'T POSTED IT YET.
What I meant was, do you want me to post it here first?
Oh! Sorry, I missed that comment. Yes, post it here.
It might take two comments...
Scarlet kicked a rock. She knew it. She knew that he was one of Travis’s pals.
‘God damn moron.’ She muttered. She hated Travis. A couple of years back, Travis had been an even bigger bully than he was at the moment. He had been the classic ‘wedgie, swirly and slam people into their lockers’ bully. But one day, two years, four months and eleven days ago to be exact, Travis thought it would be fun to add something to his repertoire. His test subject? That strange and dorky new girl; Scarlet Grant. Scarlet had been walking through a hall, holding all of her books, trying to figure out which classroom to go to when Travis had come up to her, offering to help. Unaware that he was a complete dick, Scarlet had smiled and thanked him, piling half of her books into his open arms. Scarlet had no idea how Travis managed it, but he had obtained Scarlet’s pencil case in the process. He somehow flicked a pen out of the case, and quickly scribbled: ‘Mr. Blandy is a shit.’ Onto her Math book. She had Math next. He knew that she had Math next, and that Mr. Blandy was her teacher. He also knew that Mr. Blandy was the meanest teacher in the entire school. Travis earned Scarlet three weeks detention and a counseling session. Even when she told the people around her that she had no idea where the message had come from. It was only when she had learnt Travis’s handwriting did she realize the truth. She had been so angry, but the event had taken place too long before, and making a fuss would’ve made her look bad. She arrived home and got ready to meet Sara.
* * *
Ace met up with Travis at the park, his mind still whirring for the morning’s events. He had gone over Scarlet’s exit inside his head a hundred times. He didn’t understand what he had said or done to annoy her. Ace sat down near the lake and put his head in his hands. Travis crept up behind Ace and grabbed his shoulders, shoving him forwards then back.
‘Got ya!’ He yelled. Ace got up and whirled at him.
‘Not cool Travis! Don’t do that.’
‘Chill man, I wasn’t gonna let you drown.’ Travis laughed. Ace scowled and punched Travis’s shoulder. Travis punched back. The two started fighting and rolled around on the grass. When they had finished they got up and brushed themselves off. Ace looked around and spied Scarlet sitting in one of the lower branches of the tree. She was sitting next to a girl, who he a assumed was Sara, and was smiling, but Ace could tell from her eyes that Scarlet was sad. Sara said something and Scarlet laughed, and then pushed Sara out of the tree. Ace was about to say something when Travis tackled him from behind.
* * *
‘Hey!’ Sara yelled as she fell out of the tree. Scarlet giggled. Sara clambered up the tree and stood on the branch. Scarlet stood up, and the two of them grappled on the branch. The branch sagged and the girls lost balance and fell off together, shrieking. They got up laughing.
‘It’s your fault. You were the one who brought it up!’ Scarlet smiled.
‘Yeah but’s that’s only- what’s wrong?’ Sara asked. Scarlet was staring into space. Sara followed her eyes and saw Travis.
‘Oh. C’mon, lets get out of here.’ Sara said, pulling Scarlet away. Scarlet glanced at Sara, pulling her arm back.
‘It isn’t Travis.’
‘Then who? The boy there with Travis? What’s his name?’ Sara trailed off.
‘Ace.’ Scarlet said. Scarlet turned and walked away. Sara ran after her.
‘Scarlet, what’s up? Why don’t you like Ace? You’ve never even spoken!’ Sara said. Scarlet stopped suddenly, turned around and sprinted towards the boys. Sara watched her fly past and scratched her head. What was Scarlet doing?
* * *
Ace wrestled Travis off and got up, only to be tackled into the lake by Scarlet. Ace screamed and splashed into the water. He pushed away from Scarlet, and kicked his legs, shooting towards the surface. His head emerged and he gasped for air.
‘What the hell just happened?’ Travis yelled. Ace’s eyes were burning. He saw Sara run up and yell something. He didn’t hear. Ace twisted in the water and scanned the water for Scarlet. She hadn’t surfaced yet. He dived again, and saw Scarlet thrashing under the water. She had managed to get her ankle wrapped in a fleet of seaweed. She was panicking and making it worse. Ace tried to remove the seaweed, but Scarlet was kicking to hard. He came back up for air.
‘Where’s Scarlet!?’ Sara yelled.
‘Help me!’ Ace yelled back. He beckoned for Travis and Sara to help him and dived back under. He attempted to remove the seaweed again, but Scarlet was thrashing more than ever. He then saw Travis dive in, followed by Sara. Sara grabbed Scarlet’s legs and held them together. Travis pinned Scarlet’s arms to her body. Ace swam downwards and untied the plant from Scarlet’s ankle. Sara and Travis let go and the four of them surfaced.
Eve?
Yup sorry reading
Sparky. Email. Now.
Val. E-mail. Now.
The story?
Yeah. Really liked it. :D
Yeah. Reaidng your stories reminds me of Fletcher Renn. And Fletcher Renn reminds me of Skulduggery Pleasant. And Skulduggery Pleasant reminds me of the short stories I'll never read! *wails*
Why do my stories remind you of Fletch?
*raises eyebrow*
Tread carefully Eve.
I was thinking about the scene when Valkyrie punches Fletcher. Hehe.
Why? Don't you like Fletcher? Why don't you like him?
...Are you a Valduggery fan? *narrows eyes suspiciously*
I AM NOT VALDUGGERY!!!
Of course I like Fletcher.
...
Can I have your e-mail Eve?
(Not to be a stalker, or creepy or anything)
Sparky, I sent a reply... Please please please don't make fun of me about it.
Promise I won't Val.
Got it.
Kay. Can I have yours? I will find it extremely unfair if you say no.
I'm sending you an e-mail.
Ah. Okay.
I haven't gotten an e-mail yet.
It may take a couple minutes.
I wish it would gete to you faster. I'm still freaking shaking from earlier. It says why in the email.
Yah. Still reading.
I sent you an e-mail back.
It's okay Val.
*hugs her*
I'm going to be leaving for a bit soon.
I just updated my blog.
Sparky, you can't leave...
Just for a little.
*keeps hugging her*
It really is okay.
I showed Froggy Die Hard and she couldn't handle it.
That's disgraceful.
I'll be right back.
Yeah, but I can't stand having people make fun of me any more than the already do. I've already lost it about three times. And by 'lost it' I mean I gave up trying and just refused to go to school.
Val. Calm down. Think about it. If you've done it, then they have done it to. The trick is to act as though you breaking down was an everyday thing, instead of something to be ashamed of.
But I've been breaking down too much lately. And I just flinched because my phone beeped from a text message. I shouldn't be flinching at everything. It's not good for me.
Hm? What's wrong?
If I tell you, you aren't allowed to laugh or bring it up to anyone ever.
Promise. (sincerely)
I was watching Insidious or whatever with Amanda a grinning devil face with black hair and red skin and pale blue eyes appeared behind the dad in the movie and I covered my face and screamed. A lot. And started crying. And shouting, "TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF NOW!" And shaking uncontrollably. And Amanda called me a wimp for freaking out.
*sits down in deep thought*
I used to break down a lot. In fact, I still do. But, even if I broke down that morning, I get up and I go to school.
Because I had to learn, that no matter how hard things get the world doesn't stop turning.
Last year Sammy came to school and I said hi and she started to cry. I hadn't done anything. She was crying because her best friends mum had died.
She looked like a complete moron, breaking down like that. I'd just said hello. And if something bad happens to Sammy, she always does that.
If you were going to behave like that you shouldn't go to school. But you, Val, and Sammy have one major difference.
You have more strength of character. You feel it, but you don't show it. That's how I am. People can always tell when I'm sad cause I go super quiet. But they can tell when something has gone off-the-wall-end-of-the-world wrong because that's when I cry.
Save it for when it's important.
*hugs Val*
You are nothing like Sanmy Valkyrie.
Whoa, long comment.
But I still freaking acted like I was dying in front of my friend who practically made fun of me after.
...I did that at my own sleepover party. And we weren't even watching a movie. I IMAGINED IT IN MY HEAD. Eck. I don't try to be a psychological expert, but if someone mentions it, just laugh it off, like it was a really funny moment, even if it wasn't. That's the best I could do. It's not a big deal, Val. Everyone will forget about it. As for me, I've been kicked of thee laptop, so I must go.
No one ever forgets anything I do. EVER. And having the reputation of freaking people out by glancing at them? That doesn't help.
Bye Eve.
*thinks something*
...E-mail.
Bye Eve.
*looks at bookshelf and smiles* There's 17 Skulduggery books right there. And I have more than that.
I replied...
I replied, too.
And again.
Brb.
Back.
I see that.
Obviously.
I'm not on just checking something
Okay then Eve.
Val, did you read the update on Echo?
No. Not yet. I've written about half of chapter five though.
Oooo YAY!
I need to read over it before you can see it.
Aww...
*tilts head* I don't have space for my other two books on my shelf *pouts*
Then chuck out something that isn't SP and therefor less important.
Brb.
*frowns* But the whole thing is SP.
Well that may cause a problem.
Mmhm.
Val did you notice what I did last night?
What now?
I followed your blogs!
Yay! *yawns in exhaustion*
Yeah!
No wonder you're tired it's 11:07pm where you are.
I have decided that tomorrow I will write a short story about zombies.
Val?
Yeah. And Amanda and I didn't leave the party we went to for Amanda's sister at Amanda's grandma's house until 11:40 yesterday, and we didn't go to bed until 1:00, and I woke up at 7 (which is really early for weekends), and I was crying, which makes me tired. So I guess it does make sense that I'm tired.
Yes.
Zombies are fun to kill.
I normally wake up between 5 and 6 on the weekends.
I get up around 10 or 11. I hate getting up early.
I love getting up early.
The earlier you wake up the more you can get done.
The later you wake up the later you can stay up.
And the later I stay up, they later you get up, and the less I get to talk to you.
*shrugs*
*is planning zombie story inside head*
*giggles*
Gotta go. BYE!!!
Val?
Anyone?
*wails* I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY want to read A Slightly Ignominious End to the Legend of Black Annis and even more so with The Wonderful Adventures of Geoffrey Scrutinous SO BAD!!!! But I can't. :( bye

Hello
Anyone on??
*wakes up from weird dream* *glances arounnd* That was odd...
Val you here?
Hmm? Oh, yes, I am. Reading your story again, too.
*sings*
Why? Why is my story so speacial lately?
I like the part with Ivy in it. It's interesting to see how you made her act. She acts cool, and it's fun to read.
Did you hear what I was happy about yesterday?
Nope, did you get your books?
(wild guess)
YES! YES I DID! AND THEY ALL SAY 'TO IVY' IN THEM!!! AND I GOT A SKULDUGGERY WATCH WITH THEM!!! :D
Omg a watch? Damn you...
Jking I want posters and stuff for my wall...
It didn't have a poster, actually :/
BUT THE BOOKS ARE THE COOL UK PAPERBACKS! AND THEY ARE SO COOL!!!
And I got an awesome postcard that said, 'To Ivy' and Derek signed it. IT LOOKS SO COOL.
Is it the one with skulduggery on it?
It's red and had a graveyard, with skulduggery's head fading on top?! I have that one, I have two actually, and they are signed in silver sharpy marker *is proud* they were free last signing!!
Yeah, it's that one. :) And I'm one of the few Americans to have one. *is also very proud*
And the package that came to the door was marked "Ivy Animosity". That is cool.
*hums* we can b proudies!
Ha only messing, and guess what!
What? *watches my 17 Skulduggery books intently, as if they were planning to run away*
Shadow threatened to burn off my face, cos I said I wasnt going to continue the story..
And also, is amanda jelous??
I don't know... *grins* But probably. I sent her pictures of the books and my watch and my postcard, and she thought it was really cool...
And, just for the record, Derek, I wasn't the only one who was part of that party. You've got to remember that Amanda was too (that means could you mention it to her at some point? She wants to meet you almost as badly as I do...)
I downloaded 3 songs off ITunes...
What songs?
Somewhere only we know. Keane
How to save a life. the fray.
Hey there Deliah. Plain White t's
Why ah?
That's the songs you picked. I was wondering which ones you had, you said them, so I said 'Ah', as in 'Ah, those songs'.
Okay.
I have a five year old with me, she thinks she's a mermaid, her dad is called 'atlantic' and she has to visit him..
Sh also misses my uncle, her cousin, who died in 2003 before she was born. her fad was his best friend and has a picture of him in his house, we are minding her for the evening as her mother is working and they are split.
You here?
Um, sort of... I'm just kind of messing around with random things.
*pokes the wall* Ha! You were just poked by VALKYRIE! YOU JUST GOT POKED BY AN AWESOME PERSON!
*falters* That was weird...
Why am I always here when nobody else is?
*puts on SP watch* *hums happily*
Shadow don't yountouch my face
*sings along to 'Hello' by Evanescence* Has no one told you she's not breathing...?
Hello,
I'm your mind,
Giving you someone to talk to...
Hello...
Oh hey Flame. You got my e-mail?
G2g... Be back later..
*slowly walks out of blog land protecting face*
Bye Flame!
Yes and I'm not continuing..
So bye..
*runs*
WHAT? YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE!!!
Before you leave... What did Nye jab into my neck?! (Yep, I'm refering to Ivy as me now)
What! Right Flame. Say good bye to your face. Next time you're here. *brings out lighter*
I'm listening to my Goth Rock.
*clicks fingers* *somehow shoves the fire in a container* *gives the container to Shadow*
Thank you.
Flame.
Watch your back.
The shadows came alive. They snaked around Flame's body rooting him to the floor. He tried burning them but they just came back. He looked around the woods in a panic but he already knew who it was. Shadow had found him. Suddenly a light flickered to life and out of the shadows came Lynxia Lost, laughing evilly with a lighter in hand.
Watch out Flame...
Next time he's on, can we kill him? Please?
You can, but I won't. I've killed him before. By slicing him into little tiny pieces wuth shadows. Back in September.
*with
Well I'll kill him. I'll burn that brand new face right off his scull along with that stupid smug look he seems to have acquired. *brings out bow and shoots target practice dummy in the eye in annoyance*
Ah. Yes. Well, okay then. *takes a step away from Shadow*
Why you stepping away? I'm not gonna shoot you, yet..
*looks fondly at black ebony bow with white string* I actually have one like this...
Cool. I might be doing archery in April...
I have it on Tuesday and Friday nights except times change quite a bit. I have school band on Monday and Regional Band on Thursday and I have NPAC on every other weekend.
I know. I do a lot...
Sorry, I was messing around with stuff in my room. *starts looking at signed Skulduggery books*
I've never got a signed book... Something that will change - one way or another... *starts Googeling where Derek lives*
*already has Derek's address*
What is it? *thinking of ransoms*
I refuse to tell anyone, because I think it creeps Derek out that I found it, and I don't want him to disike me for giving it out. So I can't give it to you. Or his phone number. Or his parents' Skype number.
I'll find out through the Internet. What would I do without it? *abandons looking for Derek's address and waits for him to come back to England where I have my own Minions...* *starts sharpening arrows and dipping them in acid instead*
*looks at Shadow* That's... That's not creepy at all. *starts reading the short story in the baack of Mortal Coil again*
Did you read my short paragraph about killing Flame a few comments ago? ↑
Yes. Yes I did.
When I read the part in the story where Ivy and Robin found out that Flame died, I almost laughed because it said Robin nearly fell over and all I did waas gasp.
I just want to actually fight something in it but if Flame comes back... *utters oath of such violence it should not be heard, read or signed...*
I want to know what Nye jabbed in my neck. That would be good to know, because having things in my neck isn't much fun.
Yeah, I don't think it would be much fun...
Me either. Which makes me question. *punches Nye in the face* Don't inject stuff into my neck, you creep.
He he he he!
*breaks its leg again*
*shoots it with acid arrow. it's skin starts to melt*
I've just sent Flame a very angry e-mail telling him I don't give a damn about his story any more. I told him I quit and if he's going to carry on being so annoying and spiteful not to talk to me. Ever!
You still here?
Val, can I use Ivy in my zombie short story?
I'm using Hayley and Sparky as characters as well, but it isn't SP. the characters will have their power but the zombies aren't the SP zombies.
Shadow, I read you blog, you're a really good drawer.
I suppose you can. But she can't be wimpy and she has to be astonishingly witty, like me.
No I'm not! People in my year are better. I can't draw faces to save my life, that's why I tend to avoid them. I've drawn an OK-ish pic I need to put up but thanks anyway.
Oh yes.
It'll start with my and Hayley, having an argument about how everyone in Britan (where it's set) is dead, and we need help.
So I call Ivy.
I liked Flame eating the animal.
apple not animal! *looks at Sparky in worry!* And, hang on - everyone in Britain is dead! Even me?
*Apple.
And then I, Ivy, teleport in and help kill tons of zombies and laugh as they die.
It's because of the type of zombie.
Rage-Virus Zombies are located in Britan.
And saying everyone's dead is a super generalization.
Yeah pretty much Val.
*opens each Skulduggery book and grins happily* *looks in Mortal Coil* This one has Skulduggery holding a sign saying, 'Hi Ivy!'!!!
You know my dedication for this page.

That's it I think...)
Scratch the part about Flame. The e-mail I sent him was titled 'screw you' so... Yeah I'm a little p****d off at him right now...
That is so cool!!!
I KNOW IT IS!!! *searches for camera to take photos to post*
I do like his story though.
I just told him I quit from it if he carries on being a dick biscuit.
BUT HE'D HAVE TO RE-WRITE THE ENTIRE THING IF YOU DID THAT!
So, more work for him - I don't care. *sharpens arrows and writes on the side of on Flame Phoenix: To Terminate*
*one not on
He must've done something baaaaaaaad.
Exceedingly...
I'm leaving...
BYE!!!
Bye Sparky! *hugs*
BRB!
