Tom Percival Back Cover Madness!


You lucky, lucky people...

I am, of course, referring to those Minions who talk with those funny accents. A full 36 days before the rest of us, Kingdom of the Wicked is now available in Australia and New Zealand.

The normal rules apply. No Spoilers. None. None whatsoever. There's not even going to be spoiler zone Blog post for you to discuss it in secret- not until it's available in Ireland and the UK. You're just going to have to keep it to yourself and off the internet for 36 days. That is your punishment for getting it early...

And you have it SO early that not even I have a copy. How is THAT fair?


In other news...

A new school-type event is now listed in the Sydney section of the tour schedule below. If you want to get involved... er... I dunno what you have to do... Get your school to register, or something?

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

Nix stop gloating before you be seeing ( if you can) Derek from a matchbox

Eve the ROCK said...

The patience is not strong in this one :/

Nixion Strange said...

I can, and I'll also by buying special editions of all the books, special editions that are only availble in Australia

Eve the ROCK said...

Ive already got them, nanananana *out-gloats Nix*

Nixion Strange said...

*doesn't care, because already read all the bonus material*

Eve the ROCK said...

Where did you read them?

Nixion Strange said...

Dymocks

Eve the ROCK said...

Reading Without buying...shame on you

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

Shameful....

*is close to making Nux match box worthy*

Nixion Strange said...

Yep
But it's Dymocks, so who cares

Eve the ROCK said...

Dymocks cares

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

Im an Ameriminion. I am lucky to see any books. We got special kindle editions of the first triolgy, thats it. Kinda sucks we so deprived here. But i know we will get a Down Under Tour here....my parents said if Derek came to America whichever signing was closest they'd take me

Nixion Strange said...

No they don't. They walked past me and didn't give

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

SILENCE!!!

*swes Nix's mouth shut*

Nixion Strange said...

*blows up Zaf's hand*

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

I like my hand....

Eve the ROCK said...

*nods sadly* Yes, we feel for the Ameriminions.

I bet they were crying inside though. PoorDymocks.... :(

Don't worry, Dymocks! I gave you $55 dollars today!!

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

*whistles innocently*

Eve the ROCK said...

Don't you just hate it when all you want to do is talk to your friends but you can't because THEYRE ALL FREAKING ASLEEP. Friends should have been specially designed to not sleep.

Drew O'Connor said...

What happened Zaf?

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

Uhm...I exploded their Sanctuary

Drew O'Connor said...

Star Inkbright said...

Hi people!

Star Inkbright said...

HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

AND NO ONE ELSE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'NT THAT AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*pauses* What was I saying again?

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Star!

wbd

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Nix! Okay. :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Prayer: Write down three things you just couldn't live without.

Friends...family...survival materials...

Nixion Strange said...

... To be fair, only the last one is true

Hoi Eve!

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Eve!

Star Inkbright said...

OXYGEN!

Star Inkbright said...

KEEP CALM AND ADVANCE IN REVERSE.

Eve the ROCK said...

*blinks* Well, i don't know about, but I couldn't live without people i like.

Eve the ROCK said...

*about you

Nixion Strange said...

Survive, not live. Difference

Star Inkbright said...

*nods* If your whole family died in a car crash and you didn't, you'd probably survive. Eventually.

Nixion Strange said...

Surviving is to just having a beating heart.

Star Inkbright said...

And working lungs, etc.

So, unless you killed yourself with grief when your family died, you'd survive.

Eve the ROCK said...

Um, yeah. There is a difference. And if you look closely, you'll find that I said "live", not survive. How bout that? :P

Nixion Strange said...

*blinks*
what the-? I could have sworn...

Eve the ROCK said...

Hahahahaha xD

Eve the ROCK said...

And when a hero comes along,
Look inside you and be strong,
Something something,
The hero lies in you...


MOST ANNOYING SONG EVER

Selena Gasp said...

Hello! I just finished Kingdom of the Wicked. All I will say is it is a great book! There, no spoilers, in fact, all I am doing is confirming that you are in for a great book, I have not said one word about anything that happens, not a thing, well apart from the fact that............... Lol I am not gonna be mean, soz that was kinda sad and weird.

Selena Gasp said...

Hey Star, you can never, ever send to many emails, so keep calm and email! Sorry, that was lame :p

Star Inkbright said...

THANKS FOR NOT SPOILERING! *hugs*

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Selena! What do you think suits me best, Eve Marone or Eve L'Keet? (that's pronounced Luh-Keet)

Nixion Strange said...

OH MY GOSH THE LAST PART OF THE DARK POEM WAS CRAP, I AM GOING TO CHANGE IT!

Selena Gasp said...

What a weird first comment...

Selena Gasp said...

and second...

Selena Gasp said...

Love
I watch as love whispers from my mother eyes
and trickles from my fathers voice
I watch as it dies under the light of hate
and withers, diluted by greed
I watch as it blossoms with pureness
and grows with happiness
I take it in my hands
bruised, blemished and tainted
But also sweet, tender and hopeful
I plant a seed of love in my heart
and watch it grow every day
Watch it withstand the rough and tumble
of everyday life.
Watch as it prospers.


It is Darker Then:
It is darker then a a forgotten secret
buried under a mountain of truth
It is darker then the shadow of a lone wolf
stalking the night
It is darker your worst nightmare
or your dreamless sleep
It is darker then a starless night
or the deepest well
It is darker then a heinous crime
committed out of spite
Dark will be the day when I like maths.

Eve the ROCK said...

I liked the one about Love. Very poetic :)

But OH MY GOD, I LOVE Punchline Poems. I even write one myself :P *eats live chicken*

Eve the ROCK said...

Selena Gasp said...

Star Inkbright said...

Okayyy.

You should write more poetry.

Selena Gasp said...

Thank you guys, I just really love writing poems!
So I dedicate this page to poems. May they live on forever.

Nixion Strange said...

You know how I said around 7 people were coming to the event in Melbourne last time I checked? Well... a few hundred more have tried to get in. It's complely overbooked
They only have one event here because not that many people came last time, because it was not adveritsed at all. I was following the blog by then, and I didn't even here about it

Selena Gasp said...

Star Inkbright said...

:)

I want to make a Gone one. Just need a phrase.

Rim. said...

I need to read the Gone books... Is there just 3 of them or is there loads of them?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

ive seen a Gone one on DeviantART





it said:
Keep Calm
It's Just The FAYZ

Star Inkbright said...

You do thay, Cain. And record it while you're at it. :)

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i will Star

brb

Mayan said...

Who is "Gone" written by?

Star Inkbright said...

DAMN. Can't do that one, then.

There's 5, Rim. In 2013 there'll be 6. Number six'll be the last one.

Rim. said...

Thanks Star! I'll just put that on my list :D

Star Inkbright said...

Michael Grant, Maya. The books are called Gone, Hunger, Lies, Plague and Fear. Number six will be Light. They have black covers and pretty coloured pages. They're about this town in California where all the people aged 15 and over disappear and the kids are in the 20 miles in diameter bubble. Also, a lot of them develope strange powers. They're pretty dark books. Which is a good thing. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Gone is black and yellpw, Hunger is black and orange, Lies is black and blue, Plague is black and red, and Fear is black and purple.

Eve the ROCK said...

*bites lip* I'm a bit mean xD

Annoying person in my class finished Kingdom of the Wicked, and said "What the hell was with ******?" Obviously just to inform me that she finished it. *rolls eyes*

I said, "You didn't understand it? Maybe you should read it again, but slower this time. Pointing to every word as you go can help, and so can reading it out loud to your stuffed toys. If that doesn't suit your needs, you can ask a family member to read it to you. Be sure to stop them if you don't know what a word means. You'll get it eventually :)"


I am the super-b**** :P

Rim. said...

*hi fives Eve* AWESOME!!!

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs*

Mayan said...

@Eve
Thats not mean!
Anyone one who disrespects Skulduggery Pleasant deserves to be punished.
@Star I will have to read that series. Sounds good...

Star Inkbright said...

I'm thinking about: KEEP CALM, IT'S ONLY A COYOTE. And then in small letters: (albeit a talking one)

Nixion Strange said...

Well, does that mean all of my friends out of here desvere to be punished

Star Inkbright said...

T'is good. :)

Mayan said...

Hello Nixion!
(just saying but I continue to believe MJ has some connection to Serpine)
And no they do not deserve punishment unless they dis Skulduggery Pleasant/Derek Landy/minions/etc.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Nix! Or were you already here? Whatever. Hi Nix!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Awesome Eve :D





OI! ALL OF YOU! LOOK AT THE AWESOME THINGY ON MY BLOG!

http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/


By the way, I've been here the whole time... Sorry if that's creepy...

Nixion Strange said...

... So, all of my friends out of here?

Nixion Strange said...

Yeah, I was already here also

Star Inkbright said...

OOH!

Nix, you know you said people would tell because MJ/Serpine's human-hand-like glove was a different thickness? Say it didn't just look like a human hand, it was magically glamoured to look like and feel like a human hand. So NOBODY WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL.

Of course, the magic would have to be replenished at timea, and when that was happening he worw his normal glove.

Nixion Strange said...

He was a sort of necromancer person. How would he have his hand glamoured? And why didn't he just do that all the time?

Star Inkbright said...

@Ivy: *laughs* I love how Scapegrace is a head!

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Because he probably thought it looked cooler to have it all gross and bloody around other cool people. *cough Skulduggery cough*

Nixion Strange said...

So why did he have the glamoured hand at all then?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

The look on Kenny's face is amazing... *tries to imitate the face*

Nixion Strange said...

Oh, and Serpine has green eyes. Does Michael? No

Mayan said...

Cool Blog Valkyrie!
I just realised... What is whitcoulls etc. going to do with their GIANT Skulduggery PLeasant posters after the down under tour is over?
*cue: Evil laugh*
Maybe I could help them by taking the GIANT Skulduggery/Derek Landy posters off their hands.

Nixion Strange said...

Be back soon!

Star Inkbright said...

Not his HAND glamoured, his GLOVE glamoured. It was a glamour-glove. He got it as a birthday present from someone. And it came with a charger. You plug the charger into the glove and put the other end into the electric socket. The charger converts the electricity into magic and sends it into the glove. The glove can store the magic after it's been unplugged from the charger, but eventuqlly the magic runs out and it need tp be recharged again. :)

He lost the glove in a fire a few months after he stopped being Michael Jackson, which is why he doesn't use it anymore.

Nixion Strange said...

Serpine was killed before Michael Jackson was

Star Inkbright said...

And Nix - contact lenses???

And after he faked his death and stopped being MJ, he got plastic surgery, so no one would recognise him.

Eve the ROCK said...

No....she wasn't disrespecting it or anything.... She just thinks she's such a know-it-all about Skulduggery Pleasant. It's hard to explain properly, but you'd know if you met her. She thinks she belongs in every conversation about Skulduggery because I introduced it to her. And more annoying stuff. Anyway, she's do annoying when she talks about Skulduggery Pleasant, so... :P

Mayan said...

I have to go now.
Fare thee well!

Star Inkbright said...

*snaps fingers* I know! He was MJ for a bit, then he got bored and gave the job to his twin brother. So when MJ died, that wasn't Serpine dyibg, that was his twin brorher dying.

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Maya!

Rim. said...

Bye Maya!!

Star Inkbright said...

You can't prove that Serpine wasn't MJ. :)

Maybe he and his twin used to be MJ together, then Serpine got bored and stopped it.

Star Inkbright said...

And maybe he had no glamour-glove! Maybe Serpine always wore his glove, but when you saw MJ without a glove, you were seeing Serpine's twin who DIDN'T wear a glove!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

i poofed for a bit
i went to turn on the TV then i started riding my bike up and down the street


yeeeeah

Star Inkbright said...

*smiles* I have it all figured out.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Nixion Strange said...

So, Serpines twin brother?
Did he have magic?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

gotta go now
bye!!

Star Inkbright said...

Fours Cain!

Yes, he does have magic. He can cast glamours.

Nixion Strange said...

So what did he do in the war?

Star Inkbright said...

Not much. He wasn't an important well-known war person.

Star Inkbright said...

Msd.

Star Inkbright said...

In fact, they all thought he died early on in the war. Only Serpine knew the truth. He faked his death coz he was scared of getting killed.

Nixion Strange said...

Riiiiight

Star Inkbright said...

*nods* RIIIIIGHT.

Nixion Strange said...

Gotta go
Bye!

Eve the ROCK said...
