And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.
Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?
To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.
Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

*sighs*
*Is sat surrounded by empty bottles with blue energy flowing around hand*
(-huggles matty- all fine. Face is fine.)
(*smiles* Yes?)
Vik: its ok, you can tell me *nods*
*stands up with difficulty and braves the cold*
*enters the bar* Ed?
(that was crude!)
Fox Girl: c cant trust...
*Stands, the smell of alcohol is strong* What?
((Nuuuuuuuuuuu, ko Jaimie, of course i'll RP with you, who do you want?))
(In which case you should not have been using real knives.)
Bethany: ... Be careful.
Liliana: *tilts her head at the Colossus* Do you want the first shot or shall I?
Bethany: Have it.
Liliana: *raises her hand and fires a pulse of black energy into the shoulder of the Colossus, which staggers before being repaired instantly, taking another step towards them*
I im sorry...
(it might have been... But hey its true *raises an eyebrow*)
Vik: why not?
((*Cuddles Gar*))
(I guexx XD)
Fox: a all humans...the s same *turns away*
((@Chi I choose you! -throws pokéball-))
-watches the soldiers from the tree line-
Hmmm..
-shrugs-
-fires a bean of blue energy straight into the soldiers to scatter them-
*struggles to speak he is that drunk* No your not
*ears lower* I am...please don't leave me..
I think, you left me. You made the decision
*Comes out of the pokeball spinning* Chi!
(*high fives* hey Xan! how art thou?)
I never said I left you...
*the armour of the soldiers glows white and they move into formation, swords raised*
Bethany: *raises her hand and fires a pulse of white energy from her palm into the chest of the Colossus, but fails to stagger it as it takes another step forward*
(Hey Xan! -high fives him-
-in the face-
-wearing a spiked ring on each finger-)
You asked me to leave, you said I wasn't your Ed. How much clearer could you have been. At least Cole will be happy
((Hey Xan! *cuddles him*))
*Is a water/ice type pokemon*
Sil2: Yey! Chi! -huggles-
-frowns-
That's just annoying.
-sends a wave of blue energy much taller than the soldiers and wider than the formation at them-
(Hello Xan)
((-frowns at the fact that didn't work- hmph.))
C cole?! he is with Anna!
And I I just needed time to think....
(*Cuddles Chi* well this is new...)
(ah ha Sherlock! I win again Rhos 2 Chloe 2 )
Vik: i can promise you in not like other people
((I didn't try hit you. I tried to high five you in the face.))
You thought, and you asked me to leave. *shouts* YOU CHOSE *walks out of bar*
(very well Watson...)
Fox Girl: *shakes head* l lies...heard that b before...
Chi! chi! *bounces around Silente*
Colossus: *moves its foot into the way of the blue energy, the wave failing to even to crack the rock which makes up its foot*
*the soldiers move around the foot, using it for cover as they blast streams of fire at her*
Liliana: *fires a pulse of black energy from her palm, again failing to stagger the colossus*
Sil2: -tackles the bouncing chi, pinning her-
I USE TICKLE!
-tickles chi-
No! *follows him* please...the pups...
(Hey there Xan *bro fists...* *Realizes you gave out high fives*
well this is awkward....)
-dives to avoid the fire and laughs-
Oh that's brilliant!
-creates a shield with the air around her and charges the soldiers, sends water gushing at them-
*drags Felix in, laughing and goes up to the front* What are you gonna have?
Hey! your Pokémon is the ones meant to be using the moves! no fair! *rolls around in the grass*
((yes with spike rings!))
The pups can survive without me *walks faster*
Sil2: -laughs- down with the rules!
Felix: a manly beer
They cant!
*grimaces*
What do they need me for? *turns*
T they need someone to love...to teach them... *grimaces again*
((I'm sorry if it's new. It won't be for long. I'll be hugging people more often as I have no one to hug irl... apart from my family. And that's just sad. But sometimes I do like to cuddle my mummy))
(Elementary my dear Sherlock *smiles*)
Vik: I'm not lying, if you want me to I'll give you a soldiers oath?
*the soldiers all use steams of fire to evaporate the water she sends at them*
Colossus: *starts to run towards Bethany and Liliana, every step shaking the ground*
Bethany: *fires a pulse of white energy into the stomach of the Colossus, slowing its progress*
(dear eh? XD)
Fox: o oath?
(I will be back soon.)
*laughs* You manly?! *gasps with mock surprise, then burst out laughing* Sorry, only joking! *kisses his cheek* *looks at the bartender* You heard him! One manly beer! Oh, and I'll have a hot chocolate and a big slice of cake... *looks at Felix out of the corner of my eye, smiles slyly*
You can do that. They don't even need to know me, it will make no difference to them. Tell them Cole is their father, they will be wolves so it would make sense
-curses and draws her sword-
-dances between the soldiers, moving quickly, using extra sigils to speed her up, decapitating and dismembering-
(Yes, Garr! Thank you for quoting Sherlock you made my day!)
((I dunno?)
(yeah to you too Xan *nods while bro fisting and High fiving*)
Felix: *smilrs* thanks doll
There's...no guarantee that they will! An Cole is raising pups with Anna! Please...
*clutches stomach*
*the Midnight Hotel quietly exists, looming through the fog like a scarecrow*
*sits in the swivel chair behind the desk in the lobby*
*slowly revolving*
*sitting upside-down, with legs over the back of chair and hair brushing the ground*
Greetings, Blogland. How goes it?
*They appear in the cottage* *places her next to the healing sigils* You chose for this. Goodbye
(Back in 20 mins)
((-high fives Clara in the face with the spiked rings on each finger- :D))
*shoots him a smile* You're welcome! *pays and takes the drinks and cake*
(Hello Clara! Nice to meet you!)
*grimaces in pain*
*slowly removes a moist towelette from pocket and wipes blood off face*
It's a pleasure to see you too, Silente.
(Yes dear, Chlo)
(No probs Vel)
Vik: yes an oath
Greetings, Flo, if I may call you Flo. I don't believe we've met before.
(Anii! How art thou?)
No ! *shouts*
*slides into Blogland*
*slides past the bewildered onlookers*
*slides towards Chi and Sil*
*slides and pulls both of them into a hug*
*keeps sliding with them for a bit*
*lets them go and slides on*
*slides into the Midnight Hotel*
*stops sliding, looking at Clara*
Sup?
((-huggles Clara bone crushingly tightly- yey))
*gives Tia the bro-nod*
Sup.
I apologize if my comments come in rather slowly today. My Internet is being, for lack of a better term, a bitch.
Felix: you didn't need to pay
Fox: o okay...
I am doing well, Inky.
And goodness, Silente, first spikes and now crushing of bones? No manners, no manners at all.
*smiles and hugs Silente*
(gooooooood)
If I was a Pokémon, I would totally be Glaceon.
*Tanya grips Silente's hand, the one with the spikes*
*grips said hand harder than she's ever gripped Silente's hand before, looking her in the eyes*
Stop hurting people.
(Hello Clars *extends a handshake* I'm Watson and here *gestures to Chloe* Is my dear partner Sherlock,
how be you?)
((- hugs Clara back- sorry. In a slightly sadistic mood. Bone crushing hugs are kinder than just crushing bones.))
(id be umbreon! but I did this test that said id be snorlax XD
*curtsies* )
I am doing well, Garrett.
*shakes hand*
I remember, I love time ago, Jubilance Glee and myself formed a similar detective duo. Of course, we were much less successful.
((-watches Tanya-
-slowly, oh so slowly reaches towards her face-
-and bops-
-her-
-NOSE-
-then casually slaps her halfway across blogland-))
That's quite alright, Silente. By this time I am used to your sadistic moods, and have even become susceptible to them myself.
I do not know what I'd be if I were a Pokémon.
Vik: give me your hand *puts his own hand up* (in the way men do it you know, where they put their arm up and the other person does the same thing and then they bump shoulders and lat each other on the back)
((Oh good! -claps hands happily then looks at the numerous stab wounds she just gave herself- oops. -pokes the wounds- -pokes them more- -and more- -and more and more and more-))
(My main person is Velv but Flo or whatever is fine!)
No! You always pay! Anyways, it's too late now... *shruggs and has some hot chocolate*
Fox: *hesitantly gives him her hand*
*recoils at his touch*
*grabs Silente's wrists and holds them apart*
Stop stabbing yourself. You're bleeding on the carpet.
Felix: *mutters* id make the bastard give them for free *sips manly beer*
I will refer to you as Velvet, then. I certainly want to be accurate in my name-calling.
*pins Sil down and hugs her*
Goodness gracious, Matex, I didn't see you standing there in the shadows, all stealth-like.
((I think i'll try find a pokemon test, we'll all take it and be our pokemon :D Except people who don't want to, they'll be trainers.))
(great idea!)
If you do find a good one, post a link to it. I'm rather interested in finding out if I am a majestic Ninetales or a lowly Pidgey.
I'm always in the shadows.
Always watching.
(Ahh! -huggles matty back, careful not to stab him- hello.)
*sits on a tree* -Zaf
I'm not sure wether to be comforted by that, Matex, or deeply afraid.
I choose the latter.
*backs away slowly*
Well, at least I don't get stabbed.
*kisses her cuts*
...*hands her a sponge and a cloth*
I think you need to clean the carpet ._.
As you can see I care for your carpets. Think of me as an ever watchful protector of your interior design and decoration, arriving in the nick of time.
((So guys, who's taking part in the quiz to find out what Pokémon they are? If you don't, you are a trainer and you get to pick who your Pokémon will be (or try and catch them lol))
(ill participate!)
*goes* -Zaf
*holds up a hand*
No, no, that's quite alright.
*eyes Matex nervously*
I'll have the cleaners come by tomorrow to . . . ah . . . clean up the blood. They're very good at cleaning up blood. I've hired them many times.
It's a pleasure to find someone with as much regard for interior design as you, Matex. Most Bloglanders are so inconsiderate . . . leaving around blood and enormous holes in my walls.
And I would very much like to take a Pokémon test.
((-pouts and takes the sponge and cloth-
-cleans the floor-))
(I'll be a trainer cause I know nothing about pokemon..)
(I'll just wait for your results, I took a quiz a while ago and as it turns out I'm MewTwo.)
((So me inky and Xan are taking the quiz?))
Greetings, Blake. I would think you'd be Hitmonlee or Hitmonchamp or Machamp or Machoke or . . .
*rattles off a long list of fighting-type Pokémon*
(yup ^^)
(Oh, and clara. so 4 of us.)
(Lol good idea Xan)
(Wait Chloe are you using my beer idea?)
Vik:*gently grips Fox's hand* i swear you can true me and that I'm not like other people
(Is MewTwo that stuck up psychic one that reminds me of a purple cat on two feet?)
(Well technically J is MewTwo. We haven't done one using my personality.)
I'll take the quiz. But what quiz? Where? How do I find such a thing as this quiz?
That is correct, Silente.
((I'm trying to find a test currently. I'm trying one out the now but it seems pretty boring. And has a lot of answers to choose from, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Gah i'll just go with it))
*nods*
As I always say...
*falters*
I'm not sure what I usually say. But it is probably something about interior design. Something both witty and wise.
Ah nevermind, Sil, apparently the carpet does not need cleaning. Continue to pout though, if you'd like. Makes you all the more adorable.
*grins evily*
*returns to the shadows*
(I return, in all amazingness)
(Yes, Sil. MewTwo is the genetically engineered clone of Mew designed to be better in every way. It is vastly more intelligent than any human and has power beyond that of any other pokemon alive.)
MewTwo was genetically created from the DNA of Mew, meaning MewTwo is far more intellectual than other Pokémon and is capable of human speech and logical reasoning.
(Oh Yey I got it right! -might take the quiz but be a trainer anyway..)
(I am indeed XD pay back tiger ^^)
Fox : *looks at floor* w why...?
Oh.
I see Blake explained it first.
Well then.
(welcomes Eddy!)
Edward! Greetings!
(Ello Anni and Chloe)
I quite like your stylish new profile picture.
(Oh that's the one I got earlier..it sounds like a stuck up smug brat.)
(-glares at Matty and mutters about not being adorable-)
(Why thank you, I believe it matches me in ways)
(I am back.)
Liliana: Now may be a good idea to throw a boat at it.
Bethany: The plants...
Liliana: Seriously? Just throw a bloody ship.
Colossus: *is moving even closer*
Bethany: I can't... But... I may have something which could help...
Liliana: And what does Bethany the angel have up her sleeve now?
I'm not participating at all due to utmost hatred of Pokemon.-Zaf
I dislike the show, but have played many of the games. I love the games.
Test:
http://www.dragonflycave.com/newpay.aspx?oldlink=1
(*grins* Ed you narcissist)
The link is successful for me. I will return in a few minutes with a result.
*departs*
(welcome back soph!)
-decapitates the few who remain, hoping Beth won't mind then figuring she probably will-
...
-sighs and starts building a funeral pyre-
(payback for what? And where can i find this quiz? *is intrigued by which pokemon I'd be...)
Vik:I've seen things that would break other people, warzones are horrible places and here i am not broken in anyway
(*Grins* its true, I am)
Not that anyone noticed.-Zaf
(So we just did a test, and this is Blake.
Charizard - Powerful and Brave, you are a champion of both fire and sky. Few attempt to challenge your commanding presence, as you tend to be the most intimidating individual in a group. Having experienced more hardships than most, you've reached your full potential not only through perseverance but through true hard work and grit.The fire of life burns strong within your seasoned heart!)
(Sorry Zaf)
I am Murkrow.
. . . I did not expect this.
(I am Togetic
'you're kind hearted and sympathetic with a natural desire to help others in need. you have a tendency to act on impulse without thinking first, but your impulses tend to be good. most people like you')
Fox: p promise?
"There is no way to tell if you're really a die-hard pessimist or if you just have an extremely morbid, dark sense of humor. Perhaps you have both. Either way, you can predict doomsday and crack jokes in the same sentence."
(I see Anni as Murkrow!)
(Slowpoke...um...vaguely insulted...)
(*sniggers at Sil*)
(It seems I am a Pokémon called Ninetails? "You're awfully negative and pessimistic, but highly intelligent and level-headed. You like to treat the world rather indifferently, watching with morbid interest as people ruin their lives so that you can say 'I told you so'.)
Bethany: *closes her eyes and the air shimmers gold in front of the Colossus, a large energy variation of herself being projected* *draws her sword and her movement is mimicked by the projection*
Well then. I suppose I am Murkrow.
It's not all bad. I do get a funny hat. I can also fly, which is nice.
(I'm a Mew! ^.^)
(I am Mew!?)
(I noticed Zaf, but it was my turn in the bathroom and that is very risky to pass up in a busy morning...)
You are Mew? Well done!
(Someone give a brief description of slowpoke in the least insulting way possible that's a better explanation that the one the quiz gave?)
(awww Chi ^^ cute!)
You are both Mew?
Which makes you . . .
*puts on sunglasses*
. . . Two Mews?
(Carefree, playful and energetic, and you prefer not to let the world worry you too much. Your friendly towards others while not putting too much trust or emotional investment into the relationship)
-drags the bodies and limbs to the pyre-
(Lol Edward! xD)
He is very slow and sweet, but when paired with a certain other Pokémon, he evolves into Slowking, the wisest of all the Pokémon. He often gives advice to wayward travelers.
(Two mews?)
(Eddy is Mew ? XD brill)
(WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING COOL SOUNDING ONES THEN IM GETTING 'You're lazy and slow and can't be arsed'??)
Yes.
*removes sunglasses*
*puts them on again*
TWO MEWS.
(Nice sunglasses. There is two mews)
(Two Mews? MewTwo still wins.
*Puts on sunglasses*
- J)
(Great. I'm a slow pokemon similar to an old man -_-)
(Lol Edward! we must have clicked the exact same answers! ^.^)
Cordelia is Mew.
Edward is MEW TOO.
*takes off sunglasses*
(Lol Edward! we must have clicked the exact same answers! ^.^)
Fear not, Sil, the test was rather offensive. I selected answers such as "love" regarding relationships and "passion" regarding career, and my result described me as jittery and nervous.
-__-
(*high fives Chi* MEW)
(-slinks off to a corner to cry because SLOWPOKE SERIOUSLY-)
(XAN YOUR POKEMON IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!!)
(I like to think mine was bang on)
*awkwardly pats Silente on the shoulder*
There there.
It's not all that bad.
You could be Snorlax.
@Xan
"Thanks to your lack of self confidence"?
Wow. This really is an offensive test.
(Guys, put your profile pictures as your Pokémon and then the trainers can run after us and try to catch the one they want lol)
(i just did it and i got houndoom
"despite keeping up an intimidating tough-guy exterior, you aren't really that kind of person on the inside.
Deep down, when one gets to know you you're actually friendly and helpful to those you trust"
pretty true)
Vik: i promise *nods*
(But poor cobblepot)
(that's true Rhos ^^)
Fox Gril: n name?
I can definitely imagine you as Houndoom.
(-kicks a child in the face-
-don't worry, it was only a crash test dummy-
-and it hurt my foot more than the dummy-)
(Omg Gar that Pokémon is cool)
Damn... I'm Pikachu...
We should take group quizzes like this more often, I daresay.
Least Rose actually paid attention unlike everyone else they're too occupied with pathetic animee.-Zaf
Colossus: *slams its fist into Bethany's stomach*
Bethany: *doubles over, the projection doing likewise* *slashes her sword into the Colossus, causing fire to leak out of its stomach and land on the ground* *fires a beam of white energy from her hand into the Colossus, staggering it*
(The penguin has gone. Mew has arrived)
(MEW!!!! *huggles the mews*)
*sigh*
I was going to hold out, but I suppose I may as well find a picture of Murkrow . . .
Because that's not rude or ignorant at all, Zaf, well done. Perhaps that is why no one is interested in acknowledging your comments. They are having fun. No need to rain on the parade.
(*Huggles* MEW)
(Xan... *dies at the sight of something soi cute*
*crushes Xan in a hug* AWWWWWW!)
Vik: My name is Viktor Falcone
(thank you Ladies and gentlemen *smiles* i have to admit it is true
and yes it is a cool Pokémon (its one of my favourites) )
(Hello Matex, how be you?)
