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?

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 4815 Newer› Newest»Alright, I won't burn the city down if you let me eat you. Deal?
Touch me Sharkboy and I'll be having you for sushi tonight.
Don't!
Sushi isn't what you think it is, you know.
You're probably thinking of raw fish, shashimi.
WHAT? Why would I let someone eat me?
NO!
And yeah, I'd listen to her. She can be brutal.
Well fine then, I'll have you with my chips, drenching in salt and vinegar.
Either way.
Nope. Emerald, you're pretty much crippled right now, so I'll come back to eat you later. You won't be able to crawl THAT far. Now then..
*flies up, starts breathing fire*
Sharks. We're the deadliest predators in the universe.
Hi again people!
Hey
Hello Star, want to help me eat Emerald and Adrasdos?
And apparently you all fly, also
*her voice is loud, and echoing through the streets, anyone looking for her, unable to find out where she was*
He has a point, em. You have a lamppost going through your stomach.*opens portal for her, which will take her to Nye*
*uses air to push her through*
*sulks*
Hey Flame, Star!
Since when did it go through my stomach!!!!
Since when did I get involved with this fight!!! lol
And one more note: Sharks are crap!
Hm. I wonder who lives here?
Oh wait. I don't care.
*continues burning down city*
NOOOOO!!! SIR REIN! NOOOOOOOOOO
And Em. You got in the fight when you were skewered with a lamppost. *raises hand* my fault. :D
*pauses for a moment*
If you let me eat you, then I'll stop burning it down.
*twitches*
Uh... Let me see a consultant first.
Em? Any ideas?
Ew... That's kind gross, maybe you should get that twitch looked at. Before I eat you.
Get Derek after him.
*frowns*
okay... here!
*steps out of shadows.*
STOP KILLING PEOPLE
You just stepped out of the shadow. I now know where you are.
WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT?
*flies towards Adrasdos*
*she doesn't move*
*fires laser beam from head*
*pulls the lampost out of my stomach and slams it into the shark's head from behind*
*it hits her, and she flies back against wall*
Ow.
Cheater!
*falls to the ground*
Did I mention that I fell on Adrasdos?
Hm, probably should have.
Hardly!!!
I just don't like sharks that play dirty
*holds stomach tightly*
*is effectively squished, and bleeding*
Ow.
And... Dinner is SERVED. Wait.
This is a trap, isn't it?
*flies up, and breathes fire on Adrasdos*
Don't know about any of you, but I like human well-done.
*shifts into wolf form*
*grabs shark by it's tail and hammer throws it into a wall*
I always wanted to get into an Olympic sport. Never thought it would be hammer throwing though!
*hits wall*
*is bacon*
*reaches head over, and nibbles on face*
*whispers* Adra, your an elemental, you could control the fire couldn't you?
*mouth has been eaten off, unable to talk*
*is STILL bacon*
Well, she's fried now.
*Unhinges jaw and swallows whole*
I'll see you later then!
*Flaps fins and flies away*
I'm disappointed Adra :( I thought you would have put up more of a fight lol
To be completely honest, I'm not even sure that was Adrasdos. Actually, I think it was her reflection. Stepping out of the shadows, not moving, not talking, it really does make sense!
*sent email to Em, with her story*
*wonders if Sir Rein just left*
Wait. What am I doing? I haven't burned down the city yet!
*the real Adrasdos steps out of the shadows*
Hello, sweetie *grins evilly, wielding sword and automatic machine gun*
CALLED IT.
*slaps Sir Rein across the face*
No, you didn't. I called it before you did. You just didn't know it.
Nah, I thought that it was a reflection the SECOND you said, "*doesn't move*"
It just made so much sense. At least I got to taste your face.
You've been fighting the reflection ever since it took your teeth out. That's when I decided to switch them out. I put the reflection on the balloon chair.
*smirks*
*glares at Adra8 YOU TRICKED ME!!! ME!!!! I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU, BUT THE PERSON I THOUGHT I KNEW WAS A LIE. *sobs*
*thinks it's incredibly cool how I referenced to my own writing*
^^^Adra*
no there isn't...
Ah well. I still got to nibble on your face. So then....
Goodbye Batman! I still have the Adrasdos tracker 9001, so expect me to come for you in your sleep!
*flies off into the sunrise*
What the hell???
And I'm sorry, Star. I'M SORRY!
Star, i thought you meant HERE!
That shark is demented
Well, THAT profile pic didn't last long. They rarely do. The one before last lasted an UNUSUALLY long time . . .
*looks guilty* Whoops. Sorry. I know that when someone new posted me and I thought they were talking about Derek's blog when they weren't it was INCRDIBLY annoyzigging . . .
Next time I'll say NEW POST ON MY BLOG!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta go lads, I'll chat to you in a few hours time.
Love yas x
Agreed, Em.
BYE EMMM!!!! *hugs*
I'm going to disappear for about 10 or 15 minutes, you know, torture calls.
But don't worry, I'll be back...
For your souls.
*sobs again* IT'S OKAY, ADRA, I FORGIVE YOU.
*peers at Adra suspiciously* Wait. Are you YOU? Y'know, YOU you? Coz if not, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE, AND I WILL NEVER, EVER FORGET. Which is a quote from somewhere. Don't ask me where. I know I'm quoting, I just don't know where from. But never mind that. If yiu ARE you, the YOU you, you don't have to worry about that. So, ARE you you? The YOU you? Are you?
Fours Em! See you in a mo Sir!
Although I think it was "I will never forgive this. And I will never, ever forget." YEah, that was it, Anybody know where I'm quoting from?
I think that's Harry Potter. maybe.
In fact, it might have been: "I will never forgive you for this. And I will never, ever forget." Yep, that's definately it. *nods*
Now, let's sort through the massive lsit of books I have read and see where it's from . . . Although it might just be one of my own stories, y'know. Sometimes I get reminded of a story and I try to remember which story I'm being reminded of and then I realise it's my own. Lol.
OR, I could be: "I will never forgive this, < name >. And I will never, ever forget." Yes, THAT'S it . . .
*is feeling talkactive atm*
*is watching patiently, flipping open and closed a lighter*
OR, "I will never forgive you for this, < name >. And I will never, ever forget."
Maybe something like that features in HP, but I don't think it's from that. I haven't read HP for years.
I bet it'll be one of my many fanfics, now . . . *facepalm*
Not Mortal Instruments, not Time Riders, not HP, not Gone, not . . . Wait, could it be SP?
Could it perhaps be a movie?
Alright, LAST time I implant explosive slugs into someone's heart. The mess got EVERYWHERE, and I'm going to have to clean it up soon. Bleh.
Could be SP. Daniel X??? Seems likely, but would I remember it that well???
Dunno. Oh, this is hopeless. I read too many books. When I get my NEW SP BOOKS :))))
And I'm READING THEM ALL :)))))))))))
then if I come across my unidentified quote, you can bet you'll hear about it.
okaaayyy...
WB Sir Rein!
Thank you, Adrasdos. I've decided to become a vegetarian, so here's your reflection's face back.
*regurgitates it*
*looks at pile of glob*
Thanks.
I think I really needed that :/
Yeah, you never know when regurgitated bacon-face could come in handy.
*shivers*
*walks off*
WB Rein!!!
No, Adra. I don't remember movies like that. And I don't watch many, either.
My Total Movies Watched compared to my Total Books Read would be like this, with *** being movies and ---- being books:
***********************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, something like that. Also, the way I hear it said in my head tells me about where it might be from, too. AF fanfic, maybe. SP, maybe. Daniel X, maybe. Gone, most likely NOTTTTT.
What's wrong? If you think that I am going to attempt to consume you, you are heartily mistaken. I am simply your average, mild-mannered gentleshark.
I almost laughed...
Well, more like ****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, if you don't want your reflection, I'LL HAVE IT!!! *burns reflection to ashes as a sacrafice for the Banana Lord*
*blows bubble rings on oxygen pipe*
I didn't laugh. Then I really though about it. Then I laughed :)
*is practicing knife throwing*
*is practicing streetlamp throwing*
*narrows eyes*
Btw, Rein, what DO you say? Because your profile pic says, "I say.", but it never says WHAT he says. Well, I suppose he DOES say "I say.", but that seems kinda pointless. It's like me shouting, "I SHOUT!" We all know I shout. We can hear me shout. But what is the POINT of shouting if all you have to shout about is that fact that you are shouting? It's just a waste of breath, innit?
*shouts* I SHOUT!!! AND I DELIGHT IN BEING POINTLESS!!! AND IN TELLING PEOPLE POINTLESS THINGS THEY ALREADY KNOW!!!!!!!
*blinks*
Well, while Sir Rein seems to have crisis or perspective... I've been laughing at his insanity, cleverly hidden behind a thin veil of politeness.
Have you no experience with Victorian age manners? Very well, allow me to explain. When something MOST not proper happens, many people will exclaim, "I say!" It is a term used in many facets of life, however, not just shock.
Oh! I wanna try the "I say" thing!
I say, Sir Reingington, I have a quelling urge to propel you at the sun!
*throws him at the sun*
*whispers* and i whisper.
AND I SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!
and i whisper
AND I SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!
and i whisper again
AND I SHOUT AGAIN!!!!!!
and i whisper again
AND I *starts coughing from overuse of shouting*
DAMN SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say, good sir Val. It is most good to see you today. Most good.
And as for you, Sir Rein. I have been to the Victorian age.
I have the up most knowledge of it
*sighs* I KNOW, Reingington. I just like taking things literally.
AND I LIKE SHOUTING!!!!!!!!!
I SHOUT!!!!!!!!!!
I do say, Valkyrie, that is a MOST improper act to commit! Have you no shame, Madame? Very well, allow me to illuminate the TRUE potential of being a gentleshark!
*flies back down to Earth, with a trail of gentlemanly expression propelling him*
Many of the expressions include,
"I say! You bally rouge! How caddish! I humbly apologize, and present myself to your service, sir! What a conundrum! But this reminds me of a puzzle!"
Adrasdos, it is "the utmost knowledge of it"
And Valkyrie, quelling an urge would be to stop yourself from acting upon the urge. It is like quelling a rebellion, it is preventive. Therefore, there cannot BE such a thing as a quelling urge, unless it is an urge to quell and urge.
I say, how did this "I say" buisness in Victorian age start anyway?
You have NO PROOF that it didn't start by someone who enjoyed saying things for the sake of telling people he/she was saying things.
I daresay, our good friend Star Inkbright seems to have lost it!
*hides behind Sir Rein*
Go make her sane!
How do you do the link??
Of course a conundrum reminds you of puzzle. A conundrum IS a puzzle.
*slaps with fin*
Get a hold of yourself, madame! Giving in to bestial urges and delights such as these can only lead to the abyss, a downward spiral into the black depths of humanity!
You dare to say that, Adra? Well, I say, you are MOST daring. AND I SHOUT THAT YOU ARE MOST DARING, TOO!
*blinks at Sir Reingington*
Did you just call me "Madame"?
But dear, that is what makes me fun to be around.
And Sir Rein, who mmight you be talking to?
Will be distant now, I'm going to put my psycho dream into a story...
Indeed. Does this present a problem to you? For if it does, I would recommend never traveling to the Victorian age.
How do you know the abyss won't go PAST the black depths of humanity into worse things?
Oh, now I know how you know. It's obvious - you have first hand experience. :)
Indeed... I am not proud of it, yet many of my experiences have not been proud and triumphant, believe it or not.
Of course he does! Have you not heard what I mentioned eariler?
His insanity is hidden by a layer of polite
*earlier
I daresay, the Victorian age was worse than this one! AND I DARESHOUT IT, TOO!
*dares* IT, TOO!
*dares* IT, TOO!
*is dareshout IT, TOO!*
Being called Madame is just odd to me. That'd make me, like, Madame Valkyrie. Or Madame Ivy. That's just weird.
Sir Reingington, are you a shark now?
*dareshouting
Oh Star, you can be ever so droll sometimes!
Very well then, Valkyrie, I shall not call you madame anymore.
And indeed, I am a proud gentleshark now.
Oh yes, Valkyrie. Perchance you could stay a while?
It's quite the story.
Yes, he is a shark, Ivy. First he was a robot/Moroccan/embodiment of destruction/dissident/gentleman/American/Narcissist/poor boy, nobody loves me/fencer/surfer/scientist, then he was a robot/Moroccan/embodiment of destruction/dissident/gentleman/American/Narcissist/poor boy, nobody loves me/fencer/surfer/scientist/dead gentleman/mustache, and now he's a shark.
And how did you manage that, then? Just yesterday you were a robot, then a mustache, and now you happen to be a shark? That is quite puzzling, Sir, quite puzzling indeed.
I do admit, it is quite the tale to tell.
I shall start, as usual, with someone trying to murder me.
That someone trying to murder you practically always being the lovely and psychopathic me, of course.
He has been transported.
*gasps, and nearly faints*
My dear, I think that our friend Sir Rein might be an extraterrestrial.
*is ROTBL (rolling on the bed laughing) from the memories of the comments on that page*
It was Adrasdos, and of course she did it for no reason. She TOSSED me off of a cliff, and a great white shark LUNGED at me. Thankfully though, he missed, and by my extraordinary luck, I landed on his nose. Instantly, I had overpowered his mind and possessed his body. I gathered my previous wardrobe, including my monocle, suit, and pipe, and then I attempted to murder Adrasdos.
*is still ROTBL, irl*
Ignore me, sure.
It was quite the adventure including multiple planets, burning cities, and smoothies.
Ah! Greetings, Phoenix! I must have missed your comment while I was retelling my story. I apologize deeply.
I AM SURE! AND I SHOUT! *ignores Flame*
And to be accurate, Adrasdos, it was only one planet, and one moon. Remember?
I didn't know if you were still here, Flame.
Here, this will make you feel not ignored.
HELLO FLAME! HERE YOU GO!
*smiles like a crazy person and hands him a dead banana*
Naturally! I could never forget that!
At first, I was in COMPLETE control, only attempting revenge. She tied me to a balloon chair, and UP we floated. However, I bit through the ropes, and tried to fire a laser beam from my head at her. Unfortunately, it missed, and she pulled out 100 of my teeth. In response, I pulled out all of hers. Blood was EVERYWHERE. And surely you know what happens when sharks smell blood.
*snatchs dead banana and buries it* Why were you talking to air, Ivy???
We had a bit of a "spat" on the beach, and I portaled away, feared for my life. But unfortunately, the gentleshark here had an Adrasdos Tracker 9001 or something, and found me in a smoothie shop.
I portaled to a moon, and he followed.
From there, we went to the planet Xenon 5.
Hmmm... I dreamed that I was best friends with Spiderman, Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I was good friends with Fletcher who worked at a fish place, I was both Ivy and me, I watched people get eaten by giant mustache plants...
It was quite a lovely dream, if I must say it. Not odd in the slightest bit.
Are you a robot/Moroccan/embodiment of destruction/dissident/gentleman/American/Narcissist/poor boy, nobody loves me/fencer/surfer/scientist/dead gentleman/mustsche/gentleshark/sharkman/sharkboy now, Sir?
Mustache plants? Ah yes, I know them, they live across the street! Fine chaps, though they DO get a bit hungry sometimes.
*mustache
* . . . shifts away from the other ide of the street*
I posted a comment like, 3 minutes ago...

Oh, and the not so lovely part of the dream was that Ivy had to wear a dress. It was a pretty dress, indigo and black and long, but then she ate something gross and it turned pink and she almost died again while she was screaming for her life.
I thought it was hilarious, but as Ivy I freaked out... Because I was two separate people at the same time.
Oh Star, OF COURSE NOT! I'm just a shark/gentleman/embodiment of destruction/dissident/American/Narcissist/poor boy, nobody loves me/fencer/surfer/scientist/reflection eater/lucky number/deadliest predator in the universe/chip eater/ice cream lover/cad smiter/rouge beater/oxygen pipe smoking split personality!
You don't want to know the accolades my OTHER personality has gained.
Oh Val! It seems to me that you have stumbled upon the role of dedicating the page!
ah yes. You forgot belly-flopper, Sir Rein.
Oh no, that was one of the accolades my CADDISH side has.
You mean your insanity?
WHAT? WHY MUST I GET FIRST?
Whatever, I dedicate to:
Derek, for being awesome.
Spiderman, for being an awesome team member for stopping aliens and mustache plants.
Giles, for scolding us in an amusing way.
Fletcher, for giving me free pizza, working in a funny fish shop, and helping out later on.
Me, for looking funny while I laughed hysterically at Ivy.
Ivy, for being epic.
And the aliens, because I got to kill you all.
*raises champagne glass* I concur!
Indeed, and may we raise our glasses to VALKYRIE, for her most entertaining and informative dedication!
*raises glass*
*is reading Chasing the sun* Damn you, Flame. You got the song stuck in my head now.
*rasies glass solemnly* I SHOUT!
Now then. Does anyone wish to engage in a battle of riddles? For it is the TRUE sport of gentlemen.
We've only just begun,
Hynotised by drums,
Until forEVer comes,
You'll find us CHAsing the sun,
They said this day WOULdn't come,
We refused to run,
We've only just BEgun,
You'll find us CHASing the sun,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh OH,
Oh oh oh oh OH oh,
You'll find us CHASing the sun,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh oh oh OH,
Oh oh oh oh OH oh,
You'll find us CHASing the sun . . .
Ratsel would want to. *grins*
And YES, I know I missed the dots over the a, but I dunno how to do them on the laptop . . .
*has just checked my emails*
*hugs Dark in response to her comment on my blog* THANKS. :D
And yeah, I should make it less mysterious . . . *laughs*
Very well. I shall start the game.
Thirty white horses on a red hill.
First the champ, then the stamp, then they stay still.
Riddles? CERTAINLY!!!!
You're welcome, Star
And cheating will be SEVERELY punished.
*Spock gesture* scouts honor
You're cheating.
Very well, close enough.
But if you ARE cheating.. I will cut out your TOUNGE!
And you spelled "tongue" wrong.
. . . Sir? I don't get it.
But I have one. There was a man, and he lived on the 27th floor of a building. Every day he goes down the elevator to work on the ground floor. But when he comes back from work, he always goes to the 25th floor in the elevator and walks the last two floors, EXCEPT on rainy days.
Why?
*laughs daintily, and fans herself against the heat*
Why might I cheat? I've been to the 1600's.
*There IS a man, and he LIVES on the 27th floor of a building
You have me stumped. I don't understand the riddle, it IS a good one!
I haven't a foggiest idea, either! It seems quite the puzzle
What belongs to you, but you never use it?
Your intellect
Or, perhaps, love
No. Your name.
*nods* I see...
Only one color, but not one size, Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain, Doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?
Okay, here's one:
I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?
You are the letter e.
DAMN.
The answer to mine was: the man's really short and he can't reach higher than the 25th button in the elevator - but on rainy days, he can, because he presses the button with the umbrella. :)
Aaaaahhhhh very nice, Sir Rein... Can you crack my riddle, however?
I am attempting to... Though I HAVE heard this one before, I can't quite put my finger on the answer!
The letter E, Val!
@Adra: your reflection?
Reingington, I swear you're cheating.
Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
OKKKKK
I know the answer to adra's one.
the man was a dwarf and he couldn't reach the buttons.
I swear that I am not, on my gentleman's honor!
Hm. Nobody answered MY riddle. Oh well, it was teeth in your mouth! Now, let's see if I can get Adrasdos' one.
That was mine. But yeah:)
Ah, unfortunately, it is not a reflection.
And Val... I haven't an idea.
OH! IT'S A LANGUAGE PUZZLE! It's in the riddle...
it was star's one..
And, adra, a bird?
And rein, you are.
Val, GRY?
*slams hands on table, and stands up*
LANGUAGE!!! LANGUAGE!!!
Nope. Not a bird.
Hm, if I'm right about this being a language puzzle, then the answer is either the English language or what.
The answer to mine was "Language".
It says, "...There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?"
ah....
See above^^^^^ Val!!!
Hah.. No one has mine yet.. :P
The more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?
Ah! I thought that the answer was "what" because of the fact that it said "what is the third word"
SHADOWSHADOWSHADOW!
Darkness, Ivy?
Oh, 'what' would've been a good answer!
But really. how many darkness/emptyness/shadow riddles are there?
You'd think that riddle-makers could be more creative.
Yes, it was darkness!
DARKNESS I TELL YOU FREAKS, DAAAAAAAAARKNNESSSSSSSSSSS!
