The Spoiler Zone is still the only place you can discuss KOTW, but while you're doing that, this is a book review that Amazing Phil did on Blue Peter. I used to watch Blue Peter all the time when I was growing up, so it's pretty cool to be featured on it, and I reckon Phil did a fantastic job of grabbing the attention of non-Skulduggery readers.
It's also really nice to catch a few glimpses of Skulduggery himself... I think the exploding pillar thing is EXCELLENT... and it really makes me want a Skulduggery movie even more...

«Oldest ‹Older 4401 – 4600 of 4876 Newer› Newest»Really, what does a piece of scrap such as yourself plan to do? Physical weapons are all but useless against me.
Cabader: You assume my weapons are physical. It is a correct assumption. *angles his feet, flying towards Erebus* *slashes at him with both the blades on his wrists*
*pulls up to a newsstand*
*a few minutes later, depart with a map of the city*
*there are many people, many contacts that she has, people who owe her favors*
*surely one of them can assist her*
*has many ideas about how it could possibly be done*
*Leans backwards in the air, doing a full flip, and kicks Cab down towards the ground*
Cabader: *increases the intensity of the flames* *flies back up and crashes into Erebus, pulling him with him as he flies higher and higher*
*looks up at the firefight in the sky*
*swallows grimly*
(I think Cabader was like the third character I made, so... :P)
(Have to go shower then eat then die of stress, see you guys later!)
*Tanya whispers to herself* I'll find you your hotel, Clara. For Anton. For you.
(Bye Tia!)
*Props his elbows on Cabs back and looks calmly at the ground as it grows farther and farther away*
It is a shame I cannot control your mind. Perhaps I could wave shadows through your entire body and force you to move that way...
(Weave*)
Cabader: You could weave shadows over my entire body, but not through it, I am afraid. And I am hardly going to allow you to do the former. *his body bursts into flames* *passes the sound barrier - and he gets to a height where ice starts to form on them* *the oxygen starts to get lower* *the flames start to flicker but still keep pushing them higher*
*Frowns at the flames*
*That is not very nice, he was enjoying a leisurely ride*
*Shadows run down Cabs body to his hands and feet, covering them entirely and halting his upward progress*
For the record, I like both Dragona and Sophia, and whilst it is nice to see Dragona again, that doesn't mean that it isn't nice to see Sophia ordinarily.
Cabader: I see. You want me to stop? Then I shall stop. I believe we have reached the intended height, although an area with no oxygen would have been preferable. *extinguishes all the fire* *they start to fall* *shakes off the shadows on his hands and feet and uses his blades to run Erebus through*
(Um, I think I'm allowed to do that considering they wouldn't affect him ANYWAY?)
*his feet burst into flames again, accelerating them towards the ground*
(Hey Star. :) How are you?)
(Hello, Star. And thank you.)
*Adra moves from her bed gently, trying to not to move Alastair as he's asleep* *She shrugs on her shawl, and goes out into the cool air to breathe gently*
(Hello, Noelle.)
(Good afternoon)
*Noelle, likewise, is going for a walk- but in the opposite direction*
(Brb.)
(Yeah, it's perfectly fine.)
You intend to smash me into the ground with enough force to destroy this body? Not what I would call a cunning plan but it just might work.
*Only a few meters from impact, he smiles and disappears*
(I assume that was your plan.)
*Adra lets the cool air brush over her skin, and flips her hair once- she's enjoying the stretch* *Her little one seems to enjoy it a bit too, though she doubts he's big enough to even realize anything*
*Adra places her hand on her stomach*
*pulls into a dark alley and waits there silently, riffling through assorted papers and documents in an effort to determine which line of investigation it's best to pursue*
Hi, Dragona. :) I'm fine, thank you. :) Doing homework. -_-
Heyheyhey, folks. You know how I've spent many months complaining about how my physics teacher can't explain anything?
Well, she left, and we got a new teacher, and we had our first lesson today.
Guess what?
SHE'S EVEN WORSE.
She told us that the earth rotates 360 degrees a day, and that every day the earth moves one degree in its orbit, and so we saw distant stars four minutes behind.
Yes. Those sentences, or ones to similar effect. Without explaining how the degrees and the minutes linked together. -_- She tried to explain it several times but only half the class got it. I thought I got it, then she confused me again, so I had to look it up on the internet later.
Honestly. -_-
(She also put us in a seating plan, which I was kind of annoyed about. All my aspirations for the following six weeks have been crushed. :O The seating plan doesn't reflect badly on her as a teacher, though, so although I'm complaining, I'm not using it to complain about her poor teacher skills.)
Hello, Sophia. :)
Hello, Noelle. :)
Hello, CLara. :)
(I here
I hated as level physics
sooooo glad I dropped)
*im here
(I always preferred chemistry and biology to physics.)
(I don't like chemistry anymore
biology is my bitch)
Well. She did explain in a different sentence that it took one degree for us to spin four minutes. Not that we understood it with that information.
(I didn't even bother to sign up for physics. Chemistry was quite enough, thank you.)
(I have just finished my chemistry coursework
I have a bad lecturer
I think he dotes on my because aas he was explaining the questions to me, he wrote down all the workings and answers for me)
( I love all three)
-
*Adra ends up by the lake, where she decides to send a quick text message to Alastair- before she then makes a wide sweep around the circumference of the Blogland*
@Inky: :) Well done for dropping, then. :)
I've never liked physics because I've always had a teacher who is shit at explaining - oh, I'm sorry, partially shit at explaining.
I think I'm taking it next year, though, so hopefully I'll get an improvement. :)
Because my liking of subjects so depends on how effectively I'm taught (and on other factors like who I sit with. :P When I think of French, I think of being lonely/being picked on. When I think of German, I think of interesting designed lessons and a cool class. When I think of art, I think of a glorious room full of weirdos and being able to listen to music whilst working. It's kind of influential as far as colouring my attitudes towards the subjects goes :P), I don't really know how much I like the subjects themselves.
(Haihai!)
(hey Noelle ^^)
(*flops*
I now know lots about the day of the dead. Yey. And I gave up on French. So I'm all yours!)
*squeezes her hand back, walking to the door*
@Noelle: :)
@Inky: WE DON'T HAVE TO DO COURSEWORK HAHAHAHAHA. :)
After having spent the entirety of last term doing GCSE coursework, I'm kinda glad. :P
(hey Vel!
the lecturer wouldn't let me drop it
I wanted to drop it after the first week. he said 'give it a week'
I did
I went back and he asked why
I explained that psychology was working out for me
he asked what I wanted to be
I said a vet
he said that he wasn't sure if psychology would be accepted by vet school
so he made me check
luckily it would have been accepted
so stuff him
but now I don't want to be a vet
I want to be a psychologist)
(Hey Inky, Noelle, Jai and Star!)
(for chemistry, we had to do titrations....ick)
(PSYCOLOGY RULES!)
(Hey Velvet :)
(How is everyone?)
(I have never had an interest in psychology, though I've been told I am good at it.)
You see
I have a strong feeling that I would adore psychology, due to the amount I like analysing stuff, in particular people. :/
So many people want to take psychology, though, and so many people want to be psychologists etc. . . . and I think the only reason psychology looks attractive to them is beacuse they haven't spent years doing it at school.
So I don't know. I'm hoping I will magically be able to decide my options come next summer. I'm not sure that'll happen.
(Hey Clara.)
(Hey Star.)
(Greetings, Silente. Are you well?)
(psychology is my thing ^^
I feel weird about it though
my friend, who we called midge took it and kept telling me how much he liked the open day psychology lecture.
he wanted to be a psychologist
I was interested so I took it and loved it and now I want to pursue that career
and he hates psychology, as it turns out)

(im meh)
(Speaking of titrations and experimentation, if my new physics teacher doesn't let us pick our partners for practicals, I will die.
Or possibly not die, depending on how you look at it. Me and C are both so incompetent that we tend to fail drastically at practicals. Maybe if I had a different partner I would actually have a chance at something resembling success. :P)
(Well? Meh. I would say so.)
Hey Silente. :) :)
@Inky: I think you would be good at psychology. :)
Well. Be good at/like it. Kind of similar things. :P
(Back.)
Cabader: *he breaks into a hover after twisting his body around* How very disappointing.
(I think I'm leaving now. I think. *glares at Sophia* Bye!)
(Does anyone wanna rp?)
(I used to always do experiments with my bestie In comp
but it changed when it came to as level coursework....
soooo dropping chemistry after the exams)
(I do!)
(I'm taking AP Psychology right now- it's lovely.)
(Hi/Bye Draggie!)
(I am willing to RP, as I'm not currently doing anything else.)
Bethany: *holds the door for her*
(thanks star ^^
I like analysing people
and I know how to get rid of phobias!!)
(Okay Aria, after you!)
(ill give rp a go!)
(I could rp with two people Clara?)
(ill use Alys)
*alys wonders around blogland*
(Anyone can RP with as many people as they like, Velvet.)
(And Inky! Wowzas I'm popular! *grins* Who do you want?)
*is still in the alley, shuffling through books and papers*
(well I can also use felix if you want?)
(Who does everyone want?)
(*cuddles Soph*
Is John here?)
Thank you.
*walks through the door*
(Don't mind Inky, your choice!)
(ill be using Alys and Felix then ^^)
(Okay, I'll be Velvet then!)
Velvet: *bumps into Alys* Oooh, sorry! *grimaces*
(Uh...)
*Wakes up and decides to go for a walk*
*Sees a women in an alley*
Hello?
*glances up*
*lays a hand on the right handlebar of the motorcycle, preparing to use sigils if necessary*
Welcome to the-
*swallows*
Yes? Hullo? Who are you?
Flo: *turns around to see Aria* *whispers* I'm not supposed to talk to strangers... Not supposed to talk to strangers...
Alys: *jumps* I its okay *speaks quietly and timidly*
Felix: *sneaks up behind Vel and huggles her from behind* BOO!
Alys: *flinches*
(*cuddles Silente back* Hello.)
Bethany: You're welcome. *smiles, shutting it behind her, locking the door*
Kayleigh: *smiles at Clara* I'm Kayleigh, nice to meet you!
By the mango tree and fruit sprouts?
Yes, a pleasure indeed.
Run along, now.
*returns to work*
*Adra retains what she has, and pulls out a small sketchbook- it doesn't take long for her to produce her colored pencils and shake them into her pockets* *She begins to craft "The Girl with The Pearl Earring", carefully, from memory* *She had watched him paint the original, so she isn't having too much trouble remembering how he went about the process*
*She matches his depth, and the lightness of his brush, within her sketch*
*She smiles as she does so*
Velvet: *screams and turns around to flick Felix* That's mean... *looks back at Alys* What's your name?
Kayleigh: Are you not going to tell me your name? *frowns*
Alys: *fox ears lower* a alys
Felix: im not mean *mock pouts*
Bethany: Yes. There. *she smiles and snuggles against her*
Velvet: *elbows Felix in the stomach*
That's a nice name Alys, and I love your ears... *looks at them curiously*
*looks up again*
Forgive me, miss, but I had secluded myself in this alley so that I might not be disturbed.
Besides, it is unwise to converse with strangers in dark alleys. What if I were a psychopathic maniac?
. . . Who's name is Clara L. Crowley, if you must know. A pleasure to meet you.
Felix: *doubles over* hey!
ALys: *eyes widen* t t thanks...a and y y yu are?
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vmhnxVF1GU)
*holds her close, and arm round her waist*
*walks down the hill slowly with her*
*She then takes from her bag a few paints, setting them on the bench beside her* *She scraps the paper, and pulls out a small, stretched canvass that is only slightly bigger than her hands*
*Recreates her drawing on it- the Vermeer, paying close attention to the darker hues- she feels the sadness in the color- and when she paints in the lighter tones, her empathy conveys the content*
*there is an arc on the girl's face that, when Adra makes it, curves delicately and beautifully- the girl's face and skin almost surreal* *She sighs, smiling*
Kayleigh: *nods slowly and begins to walk off* *calls back* What if I told you I was a psychopathic maniac? *looks at Clara and flashes a smile* Because I am!
Bethany: I really do love you. You know that, right?
Then I would be glad you are walking away.
*smiles the ghost of a smile and chuckles a little*
Velvet: *hugs Felix*
I'm Velvet! *sticks a hand out* Nice to meet you!
Kayleigh: Okay, byeee! *waves and rounds the corner*
ALys: *timidly takes her hand* n nice t to m meet y you too
Felix: *grins* Im Felix. Fellow demon
*sighs and returns to work*
(I am afraid I must depart.
*departs*)
(byii Anni!)
(guess who I may go and see in October ^^)
I should hope so, given that I really love you too.
*nudges her shoulder gently*
You're mine..
(Bye Clara!)
@Noelle: I imagine it is. :) :)
@Inky: I hate partner work when I don't know my partner . . . particularly if I happen to be incompetent at the thing we're partnering about.
*Adra continues to mix a few colors to get the sweet milky skin color of the girl, and begins to work on her blue headscarf*
*Hums softly to herself as she does so, finding her ability to paint therapeutic*
(Dedication dedication... Ummm...
I dedicate to my siblings, to my brother irl who I hope will eventually learn to piss off,
To my sister irl who is always free for a good laugh or bitching session,
And to my Blogland sisters, Chloe and Gemma, thanks guys for always being there for me and making me feel welcome here! *hugs*)
(I will be back soon.)
(Okay Soph..)
(well in college my classes are quite nice, because we are all there for a common reson. I like to think I get on with my classmates
and the two girls I made friends with in chemistry are resit students so I can ask them for help ^^)
(hear hear *huggles Vel* thank you)
(Bye Clara!)
*smiles at Alys* Yeah, don't worry about Felix, he can jump out at people but he's actually really sweet once you get to know him! *holds his hand*
(That moment when the door opens and you expect your sister, the who moved out.)
(*huggles Inky* You're welcome!)
Felix: *smirks* that's me...
Alys: *shakes* p powerful d demon...
*frowns at Alys* Are you... Okay?...
(awwww why cant my sister be that cute!
but, me and my sisters have our moments)
*sister
ALys: *points to felix* h high up...d demon
Felix: *frowns* im harmless. *walks behind ALys and points to her ears* you see these Vel?
(I adore my little sister, (the one irl) for doing her 11+ exams she gets a skiing trip with my dad when I got nothing and now she's begging our dad to let me come too!)
(that's adorable!
I wish I had a skiing trip as a treat...)
(me and my sisters are selfie buddies)
*sister
*Adra clearly continues painting until she's finished, and sets it aside* *Nods*
Yes Alys... *shrugs* He doesn't even have that much magic, he's useless... *whispers* Sorry Felix... *looks up at Alys' ears* Yes Felix, I see her ears, now can you please stop freaking her out?! *grabs his arm and pulls him back*
(Yes Chloe! We take so many selfies it's hilarious!)
Felix: *pulls Alys's tail before being yanked back* and that? she is a kitsune. a fox demon. Ive seen her kind before. tricksters. illusionists. very manipulative. Never seen such a timid one before
(my sister had a selfie stick for Christmas!
we took soooo many
but most of our selfies was when I had long hair...but I cut most of it off in the summer)
(I'm so sorry...
Youtube. You know, I shouldn't be RPing right now. I'll just *fades from RP*)
(*huggles Silver*)
(I really want a selfie stick!)
*glares at Felix* So?! That doesn't mean you can just yank her tail or whatever! You've only just met her for God's sake!
(Haha, no worries Aria!)
Alys: u um I its okay
Felix: *grins at Vel* see?
(selfie sticks are so useful!)
Velvet: I'm sorry, apparently sometimes some certain people don't know what is kind and what is rude... *gives Felix the death stare*
Felix: *shrinks back*
Alys: y y you two a are f f funny
(Only thing is, how do you actually take the photo?)
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYIioYDI2Iw)
Velvet: *smiles at Felix* Yes... Very funny...
(I am back.)
Bethany: Forever yours.
(That carnival thing is lovely Chloe...)
(Hey Soph!)
*nods and smiles*
Forever mine..
(*grins*)
Felix: maybe I should join the devils carnival...
Bethany: *she nods and smiles* Forever.
(I will be back soon, actually.)
Velvet: Oh, hush you! *kisses Felix*
(im going for a bath
should be back ^^)
(Okay Chloe!)
(Okay Soph..)
*cuddles up to her*
(Goodbye)
(Bye Noelle..)
(Bye Noelle)
(Hi Aria. How are you?)
Bethany: *wraps an arm around her waist* *they reach the mango tree*
((*hugs Noelle*))
(Hello, Alastair.)
(Hey Soph. Al.)
*rests a head on her shoulder*
(I'm...bored.)
(Bored? Watch tv? DVD? Email people? Text? Etc?)
Bethany: *smiles, kissing her gently* *she takes the blanket out of the basket and lays it down on the floor*
*kisses her gently back*
*sits on the blanket, leaning back*
*suddenly supermegahuggletacklesofdoomvils Aria and sprinkles glitter on her*
(Hey Dugz)
(And now I have to help mother with her exams. (Work stuff coming up and apparently she needs my help to learn some of the stuff so she may get a promotion.)
So, yeah. See you guys later unless I slam my head against a wall enough times to forget everything.
Which I should do.
I just want to be here with you guys, dammit!
*leaves...*)
(*hugs Kas* bye..)
Yo.
Msd and Mbd
How are all yey'all and your eyes?!
(Hello, Dugglyn.
Goodbye, Tia.)
Bethany: *she sits down beside her* Could I tell you about something?
(I'm okay. My eyes are too. You?)
Of course. Tell me anything.
(Nothing to watch on TV, watched all my DVDs, I only have two peoples e-mails...)
Hey Sophia
(@Aria umm...right fanfic?)
(**write)
Bethany: It's... kind of about how the gods work?
I'm fine and me eyes are slowly melting and drowning in refried beans but overall good
(I don't have an idea currently.
I wish Trip was here... *sighs*)
*tilts head*
Okay..?
(*cuddles Duggy*
How's school been?)
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/purity.html
School's fine except in like 6 minutes I have to read my historical fiction story out aloud and people get cut in half and burned alive and I'm gonna die of embarrassment!
*cuddles Sil*
How about you?
Hey Star!
You could roleplay with someone else, Ariadne.
(Like... VELVET!)
(Are you offering, Alastair? :)
Hello Alastair, how are you and your eyes?
Bethany: Okay. First of all there is... well, my family, I suppose. All the gods are related, in a sense - they have the same father, although they are no genetic relation whatsoever, apart from Phaestra and Minerve, as most were created separately. In my family there is me, my mother, about four hundred angels and Berengaria, the goddess of peace.
(*cuddles Dug*
School is as boring and stressful as ever..)
Yo Velvet! How be's yous and yous eyes?!
Gtg
Wow..that's a big family..
(Bye Dugglyn)
(I bes grand and my eyes are sparkly!)
Bethany: Maybe... All the angels are dead, so they can't leave Phaestra's realm. But I can link minds and powers with them if I'd need to.
Oh..how'd they all die?
My primary intention was simply to point out that you needn't do nothing because he isn't here.
If you would like to roleplay with me, however, I hold no objections.
Bethany: Liliana... Why do you think I was hunting her down when we first met?
(I mean...I am planning to write a book, or a similar length. I've tried before, but it got wiped off of my laptop..)
(I don't know. John isn't here either. The main RP had kinda...broken a bit.)
That sounds unfortunate.
Oh...I thought you were just angry at her..
