For those of you who have read KOTW, you may remember the mention of a certain Ronda Rousey and her now-legendary armbars.
THIS is the type of woman I want my nieces to be like when they grow up.
And now I must go. I have a lot of work to do on my day off...

*Trip's face reconstitutes itself*
Never.
(Wb Ariane)
Bethany: Uh... Yes. I'm a quantum mechanic-ist. You didn't know?
Past Liliana: *she takes a seat and starts to eat her sausage* I used a little of her blood which was left over to create a sauce of sorts. I hope it is to your taste?
*She sobs, trembling* Please, I might hurt you.
*laughs*
Oh really?
Onwa: *watches her and decides to let it slide*
It is. Thank you.
*eats another sausage*
*he looks down at her face and gladly smiles*
Adra, remember my wacky adventures?
No, Trip, please-
(I'll be back soon, just getting ready.)
How will borders work? We will still visit each others territory, correct? And what about an NAP?
Bethany: *she nods* Yes.
Berengaria: *she walks back to them with a book in her hands* What have you two being doing?
Past Liliana: I have something which will go rather well with these sausages. *uses her knife to make a long cut down Onwa's leg, before running the edge of the blade through the blood* *she wipes the blood on to the sausage, continuing to eat* That is just right, actually. Just what the sausages needed. Human blood tends to taste too much of metal, don't you think?
*he shushes her down and continues*
Well, on my adventures, I learned a great many things. About people, problems, and the mind.
And I can tell you that being terrified that you'll hurt someone tends to be the best indicator that you won't touch them.
Present Liliana: Indeed we will. However, I am unaware what an NAP is.
*glances at Bere, smiling*
Reading.
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow, quickly healing the cut once she's taken the blood*
I do prefer vampire blood to human I'll admit.
*eats one of the sausages with her blood on*
*smiles*
Berengaria: And are you sure that is all you were doing? *arches her eyebrow*
Past Liliana: Indeed. It is much nicer. You were going to say something, before?
(Thanks Trip...
*Is still ghosting*)
*blushes slightly, looking at her book, not at Bere*
Mhmm. Toys are cool.
Onwa: *waves a hand airily*
It is nothing. Just that I was wondering if you might have anything which would allow me to better take control once Silente is back.
*That is far, far from the truth* *She barely speaks* No it isn't... *She cries*
(Mbd..)
*he uses his left hand to pull his sword out its sheath from the floor. He places it in her hand*
Berengaria: Is that why you got so much pleasure out of your 'reading'? And why you are unable to look me in the eye?
Bethany: *she coughs and hides her face in the book*
Past Liliana: Unfortunately, no. I do not. *kisses her across the table* I suppose we just have to enjoy this whilst it lasts, hm?
*blushes near violently, chewing her lip*
Mhmm.
*glances at Bere*
Do you not get pleasure out of reading?
Onwa: *kisses her back*
Indeed..
(Food, bbs.)
*isn't too happy about sharing power*
*considers stealing the shield at a later date*
*remembers Erebus talking about Blake and his father trying to use Erebus' power*
They may have been on to something.
(Bbs)
*Opens her fingers, refusing to hold it* N-no...
*sighs*
I'm sorry, Liliana. I can't trust you with the fate of Blogland's citizens.
Maybe one day...
(Apologies, Tia, scrap that. Your previous comment confused me somewhat.)
Berengaria: You know exactly what I am talking about. It was hardly unnoticeable. This library is very quiet, and the shelves have gaps between the shelves.
Past Liliana: *she makes another cut on Onwa's leg* Don't heal it. Let it heal by itself. *wipes more blood on to her food*
Present Liliana: Then you will not be getting the shield. Please exit my castle.
You think you can stop me?!
*he tried to stand, his knees shaky*
Do you know who I am?!
Haven't the foggiest.
*the man spat blood*
Well, I know all about you.
My master told me all about you, Detective, and you're going to have to do a lot more than that to stop me.
I wish you a pleasant day, Liliana. Take care of yourself.
*exits the castle, making a mental note of the fastest route to the artefact room*
*sets off towards Trip's bar*
*shrugged*
*a ball of fire flared up in his hand*
*he hurled it, and the man was suddenly covered in flame*
(Whoa, SP. Haven't talked about SP in a long time, have we?)
Present Liliana: *she calls after Tanya* Needless to say - I will put measures in place to stop you stealing anything from my castle, or even entering it. You have made your decision. You will not be having the shield.
*watches in amazement*
*the fire engulfed him but he wasn't burning*
More!
*he laughed*
Give me more!
If you insist.
*Skulduggery took an old-fashioned revolver from his jacket and fired*
*The gun bucked slightly with the recoil*
*He screamed, then tried to run and tripped*
*He scrambled for the doorway, ducking and dodging lest he get shot again, the flames obstructing his vision so much that he hit a wall on his way out*
*And then he was gone*
*stared at the door, trying to make sense of the impossible*
*from behind Stephanie*
Well, that's something you don't see every day.
*turns to face Skulduggery*
*sees his hair came off with his hat*
*in the confusion, all she'd seen was a chalk-white scalp, so she thought he might be a blad albino maybe*
*but no*
*his sunglasses were gone, his scarf was hanging down, and there was no denying the fact that he had no flesh, he had no skin, he had no eyes and he had no face*
*all he had was a skull for a head*
*bald
(I am somewhat confused about the purpose of this.)
*Skulduggery put his gun away and walked out into the hall*
*peered out into the night*
*once he was satisfied that no human fireballs were lurking anywhere nearby, he came back inside*
*picked the door up off the floor, grunting with the effort*
*he maneuvered it back to where it belonged, leaving it leaning in the doorway*
*shrugged and came back into the living room*
(I believe it may be a reminder, Sophia.)
*is still standing and staring at him*
Sorry about the door.
(Then again it could very well be that some people decided "Hey why not RP the scene from book 1 where Skul and Val (excuse me, Steph) met?")
(Perhaps. But I believe everyone here has read the book, and all they are doing is repeating it - rendering the entire exercise pointless. What could they possibly be wishing to remind people of?)
(Well, take a look at all the other stuff we've brought into the universe. Gods, intergalactic governments, demons and angels... There's nothing wrong with it but it is a bit... non-canon.)
*places a notice on Trip's bar*
Capable and not-so-capable individuals wanted for top secret assignment.
Fun guaranteed.
Pay? Not so much.
Meet in Queen Tanya Halcyon's main bunker, extra large entertainment room #1 if interested.
*blushes, jaw dropping slightly, not knowing what to say*
*closes her mouth, looking at the book again*
*mumbles 'no idea what you're talking about..'*
Onwa: *raises an eyebrow*
That could take weeks.
*swipes up some of her blood, licking it from her finger*
*just continues to stare*
I'll pay to get it fixed.
(But that is hardly important. There would be no creativity involved with canon. One of the reasons I actually engage in roleplay is that it helps me become somewhat more creative - a part of my brain I thought I lost several years ago. If it were entirely canon, we would be doing exactly the same as them - roleplaying scenes from the book. Which is a waste of time, given that people have already read it.)
Present Liliana: *she tilts her head, starting to hum, her hands glowing black, the castle walls shimmering around her*
*Stephanie stares*
(I'm only speculating, it could very well be they're doing it simply for the sake of doing it.)
Berengaria: Bethany, I do hope you understand that your girlfriend is currently lying to me.
Past Liliana: Perhaps. But it is hardly a would which would affect you or Silente. But equally it will serve as a reminder for both of you. I believe Bethany, "owes me one", as does Silente, because of this. Not that it was any great strain upon me, as it was thoroughly enjoyable, but nevertheless.
*is in the extra large entertainment room #1, turning on the TV and shuffling through the DVD's*
(Perhaps. That would be entirely plausible. I am simply a naturally curious person.)
It's still a good door, you know. Sturdy.
...
*When he realized that Stephanie was in no condition to do anything but stare, he shrugged again and took off his coat, folded it neatly and draped it over the back of a chair*
*He went to the broken window and started picking up the shards of glass*
*blushes a bit more*
*mumbles 'sorry,' shifting closer to Beth, grinning*
Onwa: Indeed they do. I look forwards to you claiming your return favour.
*now that he didn't have his coat on she could tell how thin he really was*
*she watched him collect the broken glass and saw a flash of bone between his shirt sleeve and glove*
(*is in the cinema now*
Film's in 20 minutes and I'm just sitting here and they're playing the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack! :3
:3
Come and get your love.)
*stood up, looking back at her*
Where should I put all this glass?
*sits down on one of the sofas, and waits until someone turns up*
*is determined to sit for quite some time*
*she spoke with a quiet voice*
I don't know.
...
You're a skeleton.
Berengaria: That is fine. A simple acceptance would have sufficed.
Bethany: We decided to be a little cheeky...
Past Liliana: No doubt, it will involve you being let out again. I have never met someone who thinks so much like me.
I am indeed.
Gordon used to keep a trash can out at the back door; shall I put it in that?
*smiles*
Only a little..
Onwa: *smirks*
There are few who do, indeed, think anything like us. And most are dead.
*She nodded*
Yes, okay.
*She watched Skulduggery carry the armful of glass shards out of the room
All her life she had longed for something else, for something to take her out of the humdrum world she knew but now that it looked like it might actually happen she had no idea what to do*
*She had so many questions*
*came back in*
(*Laughs at the SP RP*
We did kind of need that, didn't we?
*smiles*
Hello John)
(*raises an eyebrow at Aria*
It is nice to have a reminder of our roots.)
Berengaria: As I said - it is fine. Just do not do so again. It is hardly suitable for a place like this.
Past Liliana: *finishes her sausages* Indeed. I look forward to our next meeting. You are rather good entertainment.
(Hello, Aria.)
OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS SCENEEEEE
I really miss the old Skul and Val sometimes
Okay a lot
Okay
THE SERIESSSSS IS OVERRRRRR D: D: D:
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(Sorry, carry on and ignore my fangirling)
Also, Mr. Pleasant, you're a skeleton.
*she asked her first question*
Did you find it all right?
Oh, btw, that was me, not Sib. :-P
Sorry.
*smirks slightly, nodding*
Okay.
*focuses back on the book*
Onwa: You weren't so bad yourself. I should be off now. Oh and Liliana?
*smirks at her*
Try to be dramatic when you remind Beth of the existance of Erebus. And the escape of myself.
*teleports the Beth, leg still bleeding*
I did, yes. It was where he always kept it.
(I'm off to watch the film now. Good bye!)
(*Wants to cry that the series is over*
*Hugs Sib tightly*
How are you this evening, John?)
(Bye Kas!)
(Bye Kas! enjoy it!)
Okay then.
*if questions were people, she thought, they'd ask be staring at her in disbelief*
*she struggled to form coherent thoughts*
(A bit bored.)
(As am I.
I don't suppose that you want to RP for a bit?)
[hugs Aria]
DDDDDDDDD':
Did you tell him your name?
What?
(Oh Sib. Especially since the ending of the series was just - Ugh! then it goes back to their first meeting! <3)
Your name. Did you tell him?
Uh, no...
Berengaria: Are you ready to leave?
Bethany: I think so?
Past Liliana: I shall be.
Past Bethany: *she sighs and looks at Onwa* ... Now will you give me Silente?
(Well, as of right now Blake is resting in Adra's lab so I'm not sure where to go with that.)
(*Wants to join in SP's RP but decides just to watch*)
Good. You know something's true name, you have power over it. But even a given name, even Stephanie, would have been enough to do it.
To do what?
*nods*
Yup..
Onwa: I will
*holds out a hand for Beth*
You'll want to call her to you. It'll make it easier.
(Ah. Right...do you have any other characters?)
Don't spoil the ending, I think there are still people who don't have the later books yet. :-(
I LOVE THIS SCENE THOUGH
TECHNICALLY THEY MET AT THE FUNERAL AND THE READING OF THE WILL, BUT THIS SCENE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE MEETING SCENE ANYWAY
ITS JUST SO
<3<3<3<3
...
All this fangirling is making it hard to do my homework.
I should probably go.
Bye.
(No! Sib don't leave me! fangirl with me!)
To give him some influence over you, yo get you to do what he asked. If he had your name and knew what to do with it, sometimes that's all it takes. That's a scary thought now, isn't it?
Berengaria: *extends her hands*
Past Bethany: *takes Onwa's hand* Silente?
(I will be back soon.)
What's going on? Who was he? What did he want? Just who are you?
(There's Blakes sister and his kids, I also have a guy called Solus Sorrow but he's a bit depressing.)
(Okay Soph :)
*takes Bere's hand, taking Beth's too*
Onwa: *sends energy roaring through Beth, enough to wipe the entirety of Erebus from her mind and to knock her out*
(Blake has a sister?)
I'm me.
*picked up his hat and wig and placed them on the table*
As for him, I don't know who he is; never seen him before in my life.
You shot him.
(*hopes they'll show Ex Machina trailer*
*is gone, wishing everyone a good day*)
That's right.
And you threw fire at him.
(Yeah, her name's Kaitlin.)
I'm sorry, Aria, but I need to get this done
I'll try to be distantly here though because SKULDUGGERYYYYYYYYYYYY AND STEPHANIEEEEEEEEE BEFORE SHE WAS VALKYRIEEEEEEE
:'D
Also, you can call me Moss when I'm not in character.
Yes, I did.
(Zafira! don't ruin the RP!
Kaitlyn, nice name ^.^)
*her legs felt weak and her head felt light*
Mr. Pleasant, you're a skeleton.
Ah yes, back to the crux of things. Yes. I am, as you say, a skeleton. I have been one for a few years now.
((*sighs* Forget it. *leaves* -Zaf
Am I going mad?
(I have a feeling that they're only here for one purpose, to RP the first part of the book. I don't think that they're here to talk to anyone, Nor do I believe they'll take any acknowledgment in anyone who tries to force themselves in the RP.)
(Yeah, and she's actually stronger than Blake...)
(*laughs* So you're actually admitting that?
Is it alright if I RP with her?
Aria is in Trip's bar, sitting herself.)
Yeah. I noticed. It's either someone who-
Hey guys....is....Derek possibly...?
-Zaf
(I'm back, puny mortal)
So you're real? You actually exist?
Presumably.
(I thought that too, Zafira. It seems we're on a similar mindset.
I feel as if he's reminding us of the reason why we're actually here.)
You mean you're not sure if you exist or not?
(Hello Trip, Welcome back ^.^ *hugs tightly*)
(I hope so. The plots have become a bit, ahem, ludicrous as of late.)
((Well hats off to you Derek if you're actually doing this RP, I'm grinning like mad here and crying too thinking of of far we came from the first book....-Zaf
(*hugs* How are ye? Less bored?)
I'm fairly certain. I mean, I could be wrong. I could be some ghastly hallucination, a figment of my own imagination.
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, AND DO WITH ALARMING REGULARITY
[fangirls]
Distant, sorry! :-(
You might be a fragment of your own imagination?
Stranger things have happened. And do, with alarming regularity.
It seriously could be Derek, the way they're writing....it's exactly how he wrote in the books...and what lunatic, besides Ivy, memorize things from SP like that?
Also- Anyone else new would acknowledge everyone here, Derek is good at pretending we don't exsist, to prove a point.
-Zaf
(Mneyheheh. Such great books.)
This is too weird.
Well, it wouldn't be impossible to actually copy it out of the book, would it?
Also, it could literally be anyone. I think lots of people might lament the weird mini-canon we've got going here.
((*is trying to stop crying* *fails* Why can't things be happy fluffy bunnies and kitties and we just have to worry about Serpine? What happened? I swear...this was the fun times....When the biggest threat was Serpine and the war was over and tensions were calm....-Zaf
*He put his gloved hands in his pockets and cocked his head*
*He had no eyeballs, so it was hard to tell if he was looking at her or not*
You know, I met your uncle under similar circumstances. Well, kind of similar. But he was drunk. And we were in a bar. And he had vomited on my shoes. So I suppose the actual circumstances aren't overly similar, but both events include a meeting, so ... My point is, he was having some trouble and I was there to lend a hand, and we became good friends after that. Good, good friends.
*His head tilted*
You look like you might faint.
*she nodded slowly*
I've never fainted before, but I think you might be right.
((Because book series don't remain interesting if the level of threat plateaus.))
Other againsts include the fact that Derek would come all the way back to this post to do this. If this was somehow planned, it would have been on the first post of 2015. To come all the way back this way, it would probably be an older bloglandian.
Do you want me to catch you if you fall, or ...?
Well Trip, my theory is a bit whacked up, but let's go for it.
Think: Remember how furious he was with me over the summer about Adra? Well she's been back on, and nobody, myself included, has given her any crap. Also- The new TDOTL cover comes out on Monday, perhaps he can be reminding us of the good times that brought us together, why are they reenacting a bit from the first book, why not a newer one?
I mean it's all theory, it could be Ivy for all we know.
-Zaf
If you wouldn't mind.
No problem at all.
(It's two different accounts..)
Thank you.
*she gave him a weak smile, and then darkness clouded her vision and she felt herself falling*
*the last thing she saw was Skulduggery Pleasant darting across the room towards her*
((He has an iPhone and a computer. It's not hard to multiask between two.
-Zaf
(If he wanted to do it, he'd do it on a new post. He'd do it on tomorrow's post. Not this one.)
He wouldn't have gone all the way back to yell at me if he wasn't determined. He obviously was, so I just don't put anything past him.
-Zaf
I don't really think your theory really carries much weight. He was furious for the same reason only now is Adra coming back.
And why would you re-enact a scene from a newer book, when the first has more nostalgia value.
If we look at this from a psychological perspective, the first book is what got us all hooked (mostly) It showed us what Skulduggery books were all about and how fun and snappy the writing was. The first book sort of personified what was to come. While the others were just sort of added extras.
Also the scene where the two main characters first properly meet is quite an important milestone.
But I don't think Derek would do this. It doesn't strike me as like him to make sure how important to us all he is and has been.
(I'm less bored now Trip, Yes.
I believe that it's someone who knows the book inside out. Unless it's not the same person.
If it's the same person they wouldn't have time to look at the book.)
(Oh. Dedication.
I dedicate this page to begins. To starts. Because sure, the start of the SP book literally started the story, but it also started this. Started us. All of us are here because of skulduggery.)
Zaf, whatever motive he may have for this, it certainly is less important than when he came back to berate you for being awful.
(Actually, Annika used to write her comments out beforehand and then paste them in (I think) for increased storytelling pace.It certainly would not be impossible for this to have been pre planned.)
Whatever I'm always wrong, never right. I was wrong about facts I'm wrong about this.
Whatever. Next time I'll just leave and never come back.
Whatever lets not be happy lets just all gang up on me telling me I'm wrong, fuck off.
-Zaf
Zaf, it's called intelligent discussion. You each pose ideas and then find the problems with the ideas. None of this is meant to be taken against your character.
(Zafira! I wasn't disagreeing with you!
What the hell!)
I could tell you guys we're getting a new post and I'd still be wrong in your eyes. It can be tweeted and in your eyes I'm wrong.
Maybe just maybe we can learn to be NCE and think about the ideas of others instead of finding every which way they are wrong.
-Zaf
Aria- It's not you, it's Trip.
-Zaf
Okay Zaf. Whatever you say. We all hate you, if that's what you want. We never believe you and secretly all plot to create all your problems.
(Also, whoever you are, bye.)
(Then don't make It seem as if it's you vs the world... I was siding with you...)
(*Hugs Zafira tightly*)
Seems like you, Trip.
Hey funny, isn't it, the moment tensions rise, the person left? Wonder why?
-Zaf
It might be because the scene ended...
*hugs Aria* Sorry I get annoyed after a while, usually when I make a point Trip can't not find ways I'm wrong and it just sort of gets to you after a while. I get he doesn't agree, but drawing it out continously isn't necessary. -Zaf
(Because they were trying to do something nice then someone hurt another person by accident causing and argument, the opposite of what they wanted? Not blaming anyone like, just answering a question.)
Well the scene ended....she faints and then they go into the taking the hat to go with Skulduggery.
-Zaf
Zaf, can you please just drop your made fantasies? They help no one, least of all yourself. I'm sorry I reminded you that you really hurt Adra and Derek didn't like it!
Now, let's move on.
(It's ok Zafira, I understand *smiles*)
:-/
Does it really matter who's posting the comments, guys?
I mean, it could be Derek, it could be a minion, it could be Derek and a minion, it could be multiple minions, it could be a bunch of monkey given a bunch of typewriters and a bunch of time and they just so happened to type up a scene from SP and post it.
Does that change how any of us feel about that scene or about the series as a whole?
I mean, yeah, I'm super curious and really want to knowwwww but also it's not worth getting this worked up over.
*mad fantasies
(*Me and Sib just fangirl over it, no matter who was RPing it :3*)
I just wanted to talk about who it might be, Sibylin.
But no, it isn't worth this.
I think it was monkeys.
*nods wisely, extremely curious*
That was fun to read, I'm gonna start the first book again!
And soy, I'm not really here!
Thanks, Aria.
-Zaf
(Ghosting... 👻)
Yes its a monkey. -Zaf
(Mmm..watching Repo! Again.)
(Hey Velv)
I once read the whole series as if it were issued by Shonen Jump, Dug. :P
Yeah, I know. It's okay.
YES ARIA
YES WE DO
ALL HE HAD
WAS A SKULL
FOR A HEAD
(Hey Trip, how ya doin?)
[waves to Dug]
I'm probably going to do the same
AFTER I FINISH MY HOMWEORK
Hey Velvet!
Bye Velvet!
Bye everyone!
(Oh, I'm as good as always thank you Velvet, how are you?)
(*ghost*)
(I am back.)
Berengaria: *they vanish in a flash of white, reappearing in her castle*
Past Bethany: *she falls unconscious*
(STILL HERE FABI (it is Fabi, right?)!
I'm grand Trip!)
Did someone say 'Fabi'?
Brubye!
(Oh good. And what was the quality of your day?)
