I hate Derek Because==
well, what was he thinking, posting one chapter of his book online? how could this be thought a good idea?

its like starving in the desert, chewing on a peice of grass. its like drinking salt water.
It makes it WORSE.


I can barely look at written words, nothing to do with skul-man. cant get back to the writing.

Alexis A. said...

Ahem. I am not here, I am merely an enigma. O.o

(>^.^)>The Dream Lives-THIS CHRISTMAS<(^.^<)

Cat said...

i am not Here either. Here is a place, not a person, so you cant be here.
no reason why an enigma couldnt be at here, though.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Derek....

Have you no sympathy we are all dying. We wanna know what happens! What if...the world does end?! It IS 2012!!! We'll be dead and never know how SP ended.

Alexis A. said...

And that would be positively dreadful.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It would! We'd hafta hunt Derek down in the after life

Cat said...

I agree.
I will be distant... see, there's a thunderstorm, and i cant resist going outside. literally... i sit in a corner with my hands in my pockets or in my bed, asleep, and i have to open a window and stick my head out in a thunderstorm...

Alexis A. said...

Oh, well...don't get too wet Cat, you might catch a cold.

Cat said...

i only sneeze in the sun

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thunderstorm....

This is a serious question

DEREK HOW LONG WOULD YOU BE IN JAIL FOR A BLOWING UP A SANCTUARY???

Anonymous said...

Life sentence in maximum security, perhaps?

Cat said...

Depends on the sanctuary. Depends on who can arrest you.

Technically, i can not be arrested.

Skulduggery, skulduggery, skulduggery, what if ghastly...

Eve the ROCK said...

Well, first you'd be chased by Tesseract, then you'd be interrogated, and finally killed by Tesseract

What is the 'good' supposed to be in goodbye?

Eve the ROCK said...

Goodbye is actually an abbreviation for God Be With You. I don't know how

Eve the ROCK said...

Wait, I lie. Goodbye came from 'godbwye' which means God Be With Ye

Eve the ROCK said...

Bye Cat!

Alexis A. said...

Haha, 'godbwye'. I should start saying that to see people's reactions.

Drew O'Connor said...

maxis raymont said...

why arent my messages showing up for me?

Unknown said...

I found a typo in Death Bringer. Page 294, in the firs paragraph. Valkyrie is saying, here it is.
Valkyrie looked at Skulduggery. "He's lying." she said. "I now he is. Tell me. Skulduggery, tell me he's lying."
Derek, and you editors, missed the 'k' for 'k'now. Well played. I found it when I was reading and not doing chores

Unknown said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Alexis A. said...

Cat said...

Alexis A. said...

I don't have the slightest notion on what it's about.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Never seen Doctor Who.

Alexis A. said...

It's on BBC, right?
Again: everything cool happens in the UK or New York.

Cat said...

I am in neither of those places, but i still love Christopher Eccleson.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Eve the ROCK said...

Round we go,
The world is spinning,
When it stops,
It's just beginning,
Sun comes up,
We live and we cry,
Sun comes down,
And then we all die...

Eve the ROCK said...

Val's mum got her Dr Who trading cards!

Eve the ROCK said...

I think

Nixion Strange said...

Gah

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

Eve the ROCK said...

I have the song stuck in my head now

Nixion Strange said...

What song?

Eve the ROCK said...

Samara's song from The Ring

Round we go,
The world is spinning,
When it stops,
It's just beginning,
Sun comes up,
We live and we cry,
Sun comes down,
And then we all die...

Nixion Strange said...

Uh... I don't know the song

Eve the ROCK said...

It's from a horror movie

Nixion Strange said...

Okay

Eve the ROCK said...

And I'm going to die in seven days

Nixion Strange said...

10 Times comp?

Eve the ROCK said...

Noooooooo! I'll miss it!

I should NOT have watched that cursed video...

Nixion Strange said...

I'm confused

Eve the ROCK said...

Never mind, I just really want to watch this movie

Nixion Strange said...

Uh...

Nixion Strange said...

Hang on, isn't the ring about some phone calls sort of thing?

Eve the ROCK said...

I saw the second one, so I don't know about the phone calls, but it's about this video tape, and Samara, this little girl who drowned in a well, comes out of the TV and kills ya

Nixion Strange said...

I think the first one is about phone calls...

Eve the ROCK said...

Nah, it's mostly about the girl and the video and the ring, ive seen the trailers. I think when you see the video, you get a phone call.

Scary Movie's parody of it makes me laugh xD

Nixion Strange said...

I think that's why it's called the ring, phones ring?
Someone at school said they watched at, and it was about phone calls...

Eve the ROCK said...

No, the ring is the shape in the video. It's the lid of the well she drowned in. It's not the phone Ring

Nixion Strange said...

My friend saw the movie...

Eve the ROCK said...

Yeah, we'll, I'll watch it, and I'll tell you if it's about phones ringing

Lunch bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Bye Eve!
Of course, there's a chance there's more then one movie called The Ring

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Eve!

Eve the ROCK said...

There's definitely the phones ringing in it, but the movie isn't ABOUT that.

Nixion Strange said...

I know for a fact there's a movie called The Ring that's about phone calls
I said, I think there's more then oen movie called the ring

Eve the ROCK said...

Ohhhhhhhhh

You means The Rings!

Well that's completely different, Nix. Get your information right. :P

Lavender Hope said...

Hi guys! I finally got on a computer!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hehehehehe

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lav!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Lav!

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, but I have to go in half an hour.

Got a dance rehearsal then.

Eve the ROCK said...

What kind of dance?

Lavender Hope said...

Hmm, maybe sometime today I'll take some pictures. It's really green here. And cloudy.

So how are you guys?

Lavender Hope said...

Oh, um, forgot the name of it. But it's kinda jazzy but slow... I can't really describe it.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Grrrrrrr... I the it SO MUCH when parents change their minds... like when me and Amanda spend SIX HOURS cleaning my room so I can paint my room blue soon, and then my mom says "Oh, well, I never said that".

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Val!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*hate, not the



Stupid spell check

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Hello!

Nixion Strange said...

I'm mood swingy, so I'll change in a couple of minutes after if I say what mood I'm in...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Val!

I hate that too. But that only happens sometime and it's ME convincing my mom she said yes to something.

Lavender Hope said...

Okay Nix.

*remembers dashboard and the first chapter of KOTW*
Might be distant for a while...

Eve the ROCK said...

*peers at Val's picture* What's wrong with that colour?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It's too girly and I want to have a blue room. The purple is a weird shade, and it's been that colour since I was 8...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Besides, blue would look better with black and white furniture.

Nixion Strange said...

be back soon

Lavender Hope said...

That stinks. They don't have the sample chapter for KOTW on the US version of the website. I'm on the UK one.

DEREK, PLEASE GET YOUR PUBLISHERS TO BRING THE REST OF THE SERIES TO AMERICA!!! PLEASE!!!

Lavender Hope said...

Kay, Nix.

Lavender Hope said...

*realizes the time*
Oh, darn. Gtg in 10 minutes.

Eve the ROCK said...

I...guess so....

*speaks quietly* But it's such a good colour...

Bye Nix!

Eve the ROCK said...

I gotta go too
Be back soon

Bye!

Lavender Hope said...

Bye Eve!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Eh, it casts a weird colour on everything else... bye Eve

Lavender Hope said...

Gtg now. Hopefully bbl. Bye!

Nixion Strange said...

Hay?

Star Inkbright said...

Hey people!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Star!

Nixion Strange said...

Oooookay...

Star Inkbright said...

Yesterday, at school, me and five other people (let's call them E, D, F, T and K) were all gonna have lunch together in the dining hall.

Well, we were walking towards the queue, then D remembered she needed to go and put more money on the school money system because shw didn't have enough on there for lunch.

So me, E, D and F turned back whilst T and K carried on walking.

D put some more money on, then me, E, F and D went to join the lunch queue.

We were waiting in the lunch queue, then D saw T and K ahead of us in the queue and pushed in to join them.

This made me pretty annoyed at her. I hate Pusher-Inners, I really do. I was considoring pulling her back by ger hood.

Then F said, "Why don't we go and join them?"
And E was like, "Yeah, why don't we?"
And I was like, "NO! I AM NOT PUSHING IN!"
And F was like, "Well, you can stand in the queue on your own like a loner then."
And I said, "Okay, I'll stand in the queue on my own like a loner then!" And I meant it too.

So E and F pushed in as well, and I stood in the queue on my own like a loner. I did considor goong to join them, but I didn't coz that would make me a hypocrite, wouldn't it?

We were all being pretty noiser in the queue. It was one of our noisier days. So then our year's head of year (who is SCARY) came out and we all went silent (she has that effect on us), and she shouted at us all, and told us all to get in single file.

Well, there wasn't quite enough room to get in single file, so she sent a load of people to the bavk.

And E, F, T, K and D all got sent to the back!

I was just thinking, "HA! Karma has struck!"

Lavender Hope said...

Back for an hour now. Hi!

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry Nix, was typing that out^^^

It was the highlight of my day:)

Lavender Hope said...

Funny, Star. :)

Star Inkbright said...

HI LAV! How's things in Korea?

I hope I didn't make Nix disappear . . . :\

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lav!

Nixion Strange said...

Sorry, I thought you disappeared and was writing

Star Inkbright said...

It was BRILLIANT.

Lavender Hope said...

Good. :)

I'm going to be in a musical/dance thing for a celebration here. But I'm still getting used to it. Jet lag's making me tired.

Star Inkbright said...

Why are you saying sorry? I should have said something like, "Let me just type this out . . . "

Nixion Strange said...

1st

Star Inkbright said...

YAY! I DIDN'T GET FIRST! *buries some emergency bananas*

Nixion Strange said...

I dedicate this to Werewolves

Fluffy little things. Look at them howling at the moon. They're eating someone... awwwwww

Lavender Hope said...

But it's been fun still. I've gotten many 'welcome back's from people I made friends with last time.

Oh, and scratch that jazzy part of the dance. More like kinda ballet-ish and slow... Can't describe it. Sorry. :/ Maybe I'll record it or something. I dunno...

Lavender Hope said...

That ded reminds me that I didn't finish reading it yet.

Read the butterfly man part. SO FUNNY! XD

Star Inkbright said...

Huh. It's aussietime now, the time,when aussies are usually on, and 6.66666 . . .% of the people here aren't aus.

Lavender Hope said...

There's only three minions on and they all are in different parts of the world anyway. But I'm more around the Aussie time now. It's 3:10PM

Nixion Strange said...

Nixion Strange said...
