Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...
I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.
OOH
ReplyDeleteI#m gonna read that!!
Can you Get it on Amazon??
HWY
ReplyDeleteHey*

ReplyDeleteI hate my phone...
ReplyDeleteI have been gone for so long!!!!
ReplyDeleteDerek here's what I was going to have NJ give to you i had a picture but if you look on my Blog post about Derek-lizard you'd see.
ReplyDeleteHi Derek! I know I'm back again. But I have to say hi! When will you get over to America? But anyhow. I just got like a question or 2. So, Scarab. What was his magic? This is causing debate and I want to know. I think he was like China. But also he could be like, a Necromancer or something. So could you just please tell me? Now, my other thing. I swear. Did you enjoy my spazz attack? Hmm? Dont give me the innocent look. You demoted me from Grand Mage. Now Im curious, did you do that on purpose? I mean I honestly dont care but the whole point was now my friends arent sure if they should continue to call me 'Grand Mage.' now my last thing. Explain this, how is America split by Sanctuary? I know Davina Marr was from one of the American SANCTUARIES so, how does that work?
There. I promise i finished. Oh and can I have a hug?
Zafira Kerias
HI :)
ReplyDeleteHEY!

WHERE IS DEREK?
ReplyDeleteDEREKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
I NEED YOU TO ANSWER ME!
Y'know how you're going to be in Glór in Ennis, soon? And how it says it's suitable for fourth, fifth and sixth classes? Would a First Year be able to sneak in? With the advantage of being your friend?
The reason why i call her net girl is cause she ran into the net when we were playing tennis.
ReplyDeleteand please call my sister any insulting nickname, feel free to be creative.
ReplyDeleteYes!!! Derek please with Skul cakes on top come on :)

ReplyDeleteMsd.
ReplyDeleteI'm really tiredddd. D:
And I just realised that my "memories" from yesterday are actually today's memories.
I should just get a reflection.
At least then there'd be a reason for me to have two memories and stuff. C:
Im going as Zafira Kerias. My friends going as their OC so we all going together. We basically going as the important people of the American Sanctuary. Plus we're dragging my dear Dash in handcuffs
ReplyDeleteAnd now, ducks

A CAT. A GOLDFISH. OR A TURTLE. *NODS*
OMGG, A PET PENGUIN. AND VAL HAS A PANIC ATTACK BECAUSE OF HER FEAR AND HE LAUGHS AT HER FOR BEING SCARED OF PENGUINS AND ASDFGHJKL;

ReplyDeleteI gtg
ReplyDeleteDEREK ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!
Weddings are exhausting
ReplyDeleteI have a toy turtle called Shellduggery. And A toy Dinosaur called China-saur. And a toy penguin called Nefarin Pengine. I need a life. ^.^
ReplyDeleteDerek please come on and answer Willows question.
ReplyDeleteUs Irish minions need to know.
Oh and if you come on will you also pinky swear about the promise you made?
* holds out pinky*
I'm waiting.
Why is it that the only Aussies I don't want to talk to are up, now!?
ReplyDeleteIt's annoying. :(
Zaf- Scarab's power was the amazing ability to... to... okay, I totally forget. It's around here somewhere. If I find my notes, I'll tell you.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Grand Mage thing.. heh, yeah, you got fired. Cuz you went ROGUE. Or something. You're a ROGUE Grand Mage!
And America has three Sanctuaries, each one of them run by one of the three Elders.
Willow- they said it's suitable for those classes purely as a minimum age range- they didn't want anyone younger going. Anyone older is fine!
Luciana- Skulduggery was a dog person when he was alive! Now he avoids animals altogether.
And hello to everyone who is about to write "say hi to me!", because I'm off! Have a good night!
The Nefarian Pengine one was cool Colleen.
ReplyDeleteHi Derek,
ReplyDeleteYou forgot me.
*holds out pinky insistantly*
Omg thanks! Im grateful!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOT
ReplyDeleteI won Penguine at a funfair. I got Chinasaur in Belfast and Shellduggery in Dublin. Woop :3
ReplyDeleteThanks for the news about the Signing Derek.
ReplyDeleteAnd you so did not just fure me...yes you did, thanks can i be an Elder?
ReplyDeleteWillow, when is the signing on again?
ReplyDeleteI forgot.
And, also, Derek, if you see this, it's your fault I have friends.
ReplyDeleteI think I have it written down somewhere but if you could remind me it would be great.
ReplyDeleteThursday, 11 Am
ReplyDelete<<< That's David, ruining my photo! :D I still have all the photos from that day xD :P (Even the one of my sister being bored because she doesn't like waiting, especially in book-shops. I don't know how I'm related to her. xD)

Yeah, I would like to know as well.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't say much about it in the books except for the spiderlike device.
Hehe, *hugs back* :D
ReplyDeleteWell im excited. I wish we could see Scarab in his younger days. I bet he was epic.
ReplyDeleteVinniette says she wants to fly to Ireland to go off on Derek for firing me. I assure you , Derek, I told her i'd personally arrest her if she tried. I told her I'm loyal to my Golden God.
I gtg offcially

Bye Zaf.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you if Derek tells us what magic Scarab uses.
hi
ReplyDeleteany1 here?
ReplyDeleteHello Forest,
ReplyDeleteI don't think we've met?
*sticks out hand*
And if we have met its all your fault for being unmemorable.
I'm Eden Threatening.
ReplyDelete(You can see it clearly at the top of my comment)
Chief annoyance around these parts.
I'm a natural teleporter and do a bit of symbolism on the side.
Oh, and I'm also quite fond of suits.
Forest,
ReplyDeleteYou still here?
Okay, I guess he's not here.
ReplyDeleteI must get this...
ReplyDeleteDEREK!
ReplyDeleteWE NEED SYMBOL MAGIC/LANGUAGE MAGIC EXPLAINED!
CAN AN ELEMENTAL OR ADEPT AFTER THE SURGE LEARN/USE SYMBOL MAGIC?
And if so, why has China not chosen any more Adept abilities?
I always thought that it was the symbols that do the work,
ReplyDeleteLike the facade tattoo.
Hey Zath.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading Valduggery fanfics, some of them are pretty good.
First page :)
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteha so if there mum neaded to call the it would be like this:
"Derek, Landy lunch is ready!"
LOL!!! ok i'm sorry but it is funny!!! and i find it amusing!!!
Oh well look on the bright side thier only half as good as you!!!

I'm sorry for being mean Derek but i find this all very amusing! ... apart for them being the victoms!!! that's not so nice!!!
Poor little Derek and Landy!!! :(
A but Derek started it, so I'm sure he's prepared for a literary war.
ReplyDeleteyea! cuting off the head is a good move!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it kills almost everything except hydras.
ReplyDeleteStupid hydras.
Oh i've got a good question!
ReplyDeleteDerek what is your Middle name?

ReplyDelete*Cries*
ReplyDeleteI missed Derek again!!!
Hey death,
ReplyDeleteThankyou Forest.
ReplyDelete*shakes hand*
A pleasure to meet you.
Interesting...
ReplyDeleteBe back in a bit...
ReplyDeleteHey Eden! I can't believe I missed Derek!
ReplyDeleteHi Forest!
It was a flying visit.
ReplyDeleteNot even that,
More of an airdrop visit.
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF IPADS ARE FOR LEFT OR RIGHT HANDED PEOPLE.
*grins at Death*
*Shrinks away grinning*
ReplyDeletehia! backa!
ReplyDeleteBecause apparently I am at risk of getting killed.
ReplyDeletewa........
ReplyDeleteThey can be for either, Eden. Whatever's comfortable, just...flip it around.
ReplyDeleteif u flip it wouldnt it be the same?????
ReplyDeleteHi Forest! I don't think we have met!
ReplyDeleteI am Death Rose! I am an adept with the ability to twist gravity, I can kill people when I glare at them and recently, I have been able to turn into a white tiger...
*Glares at Eden*
No one is allowed to I shot Eden, or else they answer to him!
*Points at Serpine*
Oh no it's just an inside joke between me and Death.
ReplyDelete*Insult Eden
ReplyDeleteEden, I think iPads are for right-handed people!
ReplyDelete*Grins evilly*
*glares*
ReplyDelete*Laughs and Musses Eden's hair*
ReplyDeleteIt's okay... iPads can only kill people... No big deal...
*Laughs*
Yes big deal.
ReplyDeleteI could be lying dead with an iPad in my mangled elect hand.
Left*
ReplyDeleteBut Lav is the one who turns into animals...
ReplyDelete*Laughs and starts throwing snowballs at Eden*
ReplyDeleteAtsa la vista baby!
And that tiger Eden got from Berlin? Yeah, that one, that was some freaky were-tiger!
ReplyDeleteIf you were a were tiger you wouldn't be able to do any other magic.
ReplyDeleteIt would be used up transforming.
Well... I haven't seemed to be able to glare at anyone recently... *Glares at Eden*
ReplyDeleteAnd i haven't twisted grav in ages!!
Derek, does Valkyrie have a habit for running into things? She should. Really. I'd like to see how SHE reacts to smacking her head into walls.
ReplyDeletekids Derek and Landy... lol.
ReplyDeletethis is the quickest i have peeked at a post... proud of myself.
*Attempts to twist gravity*
ReplyDelete*Fails*
Dude, I am getting this tiger thing getting checked out! And taking... Nye up on his offer...
*Shimmers off to find Nye*
Shimmering wouldn't work.
ReplyDelete*frowns*
ReplyDeleteHow do I figure out if I just gave myself a concussion?
Doctor Nye, can you do anything?
ReplyDeleteYes, but it takes time... And money... Are you willing to do it?
Anything! I miss being able to twist gravity!
Okay, just hold still...
Of course I am going to hold still! I am bloody strapped to a table!
True... *Nye smiles*
*Nye performs various medical transfusions and injects various needles into arm*
Okay, it is done... Now for the payment!
Yes, the payment... *Punches Nye across the jaw and shimmers away*
You don't Val,
ReplyDeleteYou go to a doctor.
Go run into a wall and if you see double then... You gave yourself a concussion!
ReplyDeleteAnd some how the shimmering worked...
What if I can't go to a doctor? I smacked my head super hard into the wall a few minutes ago, and it hurts it to walk. Is that bad?
ReplyDeleteYes, that is pretty bad Cain... I'll look it up!
ReplyDeleteLoss of consciousness, confusion, headache, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision, loss of short term memory, Perseverating (repeating the same thing over and over, despite being told the answer each time, for example, "Was I in an accident?")
ReplyDeleteBut what I will say every time you ask me something like that is seek professional help.
ReplyDeleteBleeding under the scalp, but outside the skull, creates a "goose egg" or large bruise (hematoma) at the site of the head injury. A hematoma is common and will go away on its own with time. The use of ice immediately after the trauma may help decrease its size.
ReplyDeleteDo not apply ice directly to the skin - use a washcloth as a barrier and wrap the ice in it. You may also use a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in cloth, as this conforms nicely to the shape of the head.
Apply ice for 20-30 minutes at a time and repeat about every two to four hours. There is little benefit after 48 hours.
Rest is important to allow the brain to heal.
In 2010, the American Academy of Neurology called for any athlete suspected of having a concussion to be removed from play until the athlete is evaluated by a physician. If a concussion is suspected due to a sports injury, the Centers for Disease Control recommends implementing a 4-step plan:
Remove the athlete from play.
Ensure that the athlete is evaluated by a health care professional experienced in evaluating for concussion. Do not try to judge the severity of the injury yourself.
Inform the athlete's parents or guardians about the possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussion.
Keep the athlete out of play the day of the injury and until a health care professional, experienced in evaluating for concussion, says they are symptom-free and it's OK to return to play.
A repeat concussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first - usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks) - can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems. In rare cases, repeat concussions can result in edema (brain swelling), permanent brain damage, and even death.
I've got a headache, a really, really, really bad one, I'm dizzy and I keep almost walking into everything. I usually walk into everything, so that's no different, but I never get headaches. Also, attempting to lean back or lay down hurts.
ReplyDeleteSpinal injury sounds more likely...
ReplyDelete1. Hurts to walk
2. Headache
3. Hurts to lean back or lay down
Spinal injury...
Emergency signs and symptoms
ReplyDeleteEmergency signs and symptoms of spinal cord injury after an accident may include:
Extreme back pain or pressure in your neck, head or back
Weakness, incoordination or paralysis in any part of your body
Numbness, tingling or loss of sensation in your hands, fingers, feet or toes
Loss of bladder or bowel control
Difficulty with balance and walking
Impaired breathing after injury
An oddly positioned or twisted neck or back
Uh... That's not good...
ReplyDeleteI gonna suggest it again,
ReplyDeleteProfessional help.
I tried to say I had a concussion, but my mum said I basically hit my head really hard and it hurts a whole bunch.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the same thing?
Get it checked out Cain... Go to Nye or tell Skul...
ReplyDeleteJoking! To to the doctors! Seriously! Please you have to!
*Begs on knees*
Not really...
ReplyDeleteEh. Whatever. She says it just hurts because it just happened, but it happened over an hour ago.
ReplyDeleteHave you iced it?
ReplyDeleteNo... I'll go do that.
ReplyDeleteMake sure that you have a wash cloth or some other material between the ice and your skin...
ReplyDeleteAnyone still here?
ReplyDeleteI have no ice pack-like things... And my mum said that even if it IS a concussion, there's not really anything a doctor can do.
ReplyDeleteFrozen peas? Ice itself? Something in your freezer?
ReplyDeleteI don't really have anything in my freezer... I'm gonna find something to do about it.
ReplyDeleteBye!
Bye! Feel better Cain!!
ReplyDeleteEden, I am assuming you have fallen asleep?
ReplyDeleteIf you bump your head don't worry, I bump my head many times and I turn out fine
ReplyDeleteI run into more things than the wind blows!
ReplyDelete*Laughs*
And when I say run, I mean full on sprint!
ReplyDeleteHi guys!
ReplyDeleteUm, which SP books have short stories in them, and in what editions? Cause I'm starting to build up a collection and I would like to have them...
All of the Down Under Tour Editions have them... I think...
