The Button

This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.

And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...



And it has now been taken down... only to reappear in the Skulduggery Pleasant Collection of short stories and novellas, available... um... some time in the spring of 2014...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I don't wear enough eyeliner to be a vamp. Also, I'm too tan.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Im not seeing SERPINE....

*climbs tree*

I legitimately believed I was a vampire named Kiroa who used my real name as a cover and was 50,000 years old.

And this was from when I was 7 until, like, 9 or 10.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Wait-- SERPINE is coming? How could you?

Jophiel said...

*Laughs*
Everyone though I was Cynthia Brandon (Alice Cullen's sister)

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Kestrel, I don't legitimately believe you. Sorry.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

A few days ago, it was raining outside - like it usually does - and I had to walk through the rain to get to the gym at school.

Kid: It's just rain, you don't HAVE to run.

Me: It's COLD rain. And it's making me all wet.

Kid: It's not like you're going to melt or anything!

Me: YOU DON'T KNOW THAT! I MIGHT BE A WITCH! I'M MEEEEELLLLTTTTIIINGGG, I'M MEEEEEELLLLTTTTIIINNNNGGGG!!!

Kid: *facepalm*



The End.

Another random story.

Okay, do what you want!

Tanith, you don't believe that I'm a vampire or you don't believe that I THOUGHT I was one?

Because I'm not, but I swear I did.

Jophiel said...

Bloging is not writing, it's graffiti with punctuation!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Oooh Zaf what are some of your random stories??

Correct, Bloging is not anything.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I've never believed I was a vampire.
Imaginary FRIENDS, however... Hehe.

Mom: Derek has issues

Me: he said i have issues

Mom: never mind. Derek doesnt have issues

Jophiel said...

I heard it on a movie.... Just then...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Wish I had a bike. My aunt sometimes let's me ride on hers, but it's not the same. Course, I'm not old enough for one :-(

Miss Cain, my sister had hundreds of "invisible" friends, among which were Jake the Snake and Jack the Snack.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Jack the Snack???!??

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Oh my God, Zaf... *bursts out laughing*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Your story had me on the edge of my seat... I was just waiting for more

Jophiel said...

Well, this is MY BIKE! My beautiful motorbike!!!! He does not go within a 5m radius of it!!!!

And skulduggery can get his fixed! I can't!! I have no mechanics!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I don't think my imaginary friends had names... They were just THERE.

Anonymous said...

Val, maybe. Dunno. What's Rattlesnake Jake?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Actually, I specifically remember the fact that NO, HE CAN'T GET HIS FIXED!

Anonymous said...

Something about if it received one more dent it would be completely destroyed.

Jophiel said...

I has an invisible friend! NOT imaginary! His name is Geophry! He wears a brown suit and he has awesome sunnies and he is from Ireland!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

yeah he damaged it too many times...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Next time it crashes Bentley goes KABOOMY

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I have an invisible kitten named Renee.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Exactly.

Which will be hilarious.

Anonymous said...

And the sad thing is, I will cry if the Bentley dies.

Jophiel said...

Well, he can buy another! I don't have enough...

Oh, but I (my family) has a Corprate blue, Ford XB Horn McLoud edition!!!!

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I would laugh.
Then cry.
And repeat the process.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

The Bentley is part of Skulduggery. He wouldn't be the same without it.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I'm sure that something will probably happend to the Bentley in the next book....

Jophiel said...

*Smiles*
I had a new goal... DESTROY THE BENTLEY!!!!
*Evil laugh*

Anonymous said...

1954 Bentley R-Type Continental, one of only 208 ever made.

And where is going to find one, pray tell?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Its bloody Derek he's gonna destroy that car

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Even if he gets a new one, it won't be the same...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It wont at all :/

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I wouldn't be surprised.

But NO ONE IS INNOCENT!

*hums Innocence*

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Exactly.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Yesterday, my friend - the one who convinced people I was a vampire - put my Christmas presents in a pink princess bag and gave it to me at the beginning of first period. That way, I had to carry it ALL DAY alongside me. I was asked about fifty times why I was carrying a pink bag, because everyone knows I hate it. And it really stands out when you wear all black.

*sighs* My friend is evil.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Innocence is an art form that I have not mastered.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

*laughs*
Oh poor you, Val!!

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Evil friend would appear to be an oxymoron.

Anonymous said...

Lol

I was given one of those necklace holder things that look like a woman in a dress, and it was a pretty cool present, but it was really weird carrying it around all day.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Seriously carrying an inkle loom is more conspicuous than a princess bag. Less embarrassing, though.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

At least I could stuff all my crud in the princess bag, because it was, y'know, GIANT. *shakes head*

Anonymous said...

inkle loom?

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I like bags. And pockets.

Jophiel said...

Uh... The one Chase restored?

CONGRATS CHASE AND EM!!!
Em, is your name going to be Emerald Silver now?
And can I come to the wedding? Pwease?

For weaving bookmarks. Another unusual class I take is weaving.

My only fairly unusual class is Latin.

MEH!

I'm trying to make a skull pattern, without success so far.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I can't do anything with fabric and stuff...

Anonymous said...

I cannot draw at all.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Well, Latin sounds interesting. I wouldn't trade hieroglyphics for it though.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Japanese is cool. *grins*

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I can weave a shoelace, but I can't tie my shoes. I wear sandals.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

French os boorriiiinnggg


Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Japanese? I bet!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I am completely deprives of any artistic skill whatsoever....



hehe big words

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I like French, but my teacher was awful, so I switched to hiero.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I play two instruments in orchestra, so, uh, I guess that's cool.

Big words? Speaking of big words, has anyone seen Sir Reingington lately?

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Large words don't win arguments.
But hey, they make you seem smarter than you actually are.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Nope.
Not me, Kessie.

Val-- cool, which ones?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I play viola and cello. At my concert on Thursday, I kept having to switch back and forth between them...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I play the violin....I kinda suck at it...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Ah. I can fake knowing how to play the piano, but I actually play nothing.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Well, bits and pieces of sax, but mostly cause of my dad. I've never taken lessons.

Ugh lucky!
My parents make me play at least one instrument.... It's annoying

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I used to play piano. But I failed.
I then tried guitar. Failed.

So now, I don't do any instruments.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I used to play piano.... but my teacher was HORRIBLE..... I played for about 5 years, and If i had a different teacher, then I would probably be REALLY good at piano... but NOOO

ugh I'm ranting...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I take music theory classes, but I haven't found the right instrument for me. My mom lets me take voice instead.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Ranting is fun! :)

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Ranting IS actually really fun... :D

you can get all angry and ranty...
;P

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

And rather amusing.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I know right??
I love ranting about horrible movies *cough cough Harry potter cough Last Airbender cough cough*

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Don't get me started of the Percy Jackson movie...

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OH MY GOD! I ___HATED_____ THAT MOVIE

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

I don't know what my sisters saw in it. They played it over and over and over and over...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Annabeth is supposed to be smart, not just pretty! The idea of looking for 3 pearls was dumb, and I didn't like that Percy was cool at camp before he'd done anything... I'm a root for the underdog type of person.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Overdogs are boring

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Sometimes I just re-watch horrible movies to see if they were really as bad as I remembered....
and then I'm like....
"WHY DID I WATCH THAT?!?!?!'

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I don't usually rewatch movies, even if I liked them the first time.

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

I only rewatch movies if I'm in a movie mood or just terribly bored.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I rewatch movies that I really realy like...or if I'm forced to...

Miss Cain; The Aussie Ninja Stalker said...

Bb in 15 mins...

Oh... well for that, then you are excused.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Bench

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

That's a game where you sit on a bench and try to scare off the person next to you.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OH isn't that like, an improv game?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Imagining it's a real life situation with a stranger.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Yeah.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I was able to use several SP quotes in that game.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

haha

not to sound like a stalkery old creeper man... but where are you from?

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I crawled out from under the bench and said "doors are for people with no imagination."

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

hah! nice

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

I'd used the "I like your coat. Can I have it when your dead?" and the zombie/bunny one already. Nobody else had read SP, but they still found it funny.

Moss Harbor Elsinore Lantern Cryptic said...

Thanks, I didn't need to do much more after that tO get Ana off the bench.
