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...

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4945 Newer› Newest»Hi Charisma!
HI CHARISMA! :)
I woke up at about twenty to nine. That's late for me. :)
God, how do people get up so...EARLY??
Hello, Charisma! :3
I should really think of some nicknames for people...!
Jubilance, it's fine. I am, basically, nocturnal. :P I prefer to sleep during the day and stay awake at night! :D
Oh I totally haven't gotten out of bed yet. I'm using my phone. :-p
Don't go to bed late. *laughs*
I woke up at like8 or 830, though.
Though, I usually get up by around 8am... Unless I go to bed at 4... Then I'll get up before 9, but almost never later than that.
Hi charisma!
Hey Jubilance, Star, Luciana! I can't lie in - I just end up getting up early! I have been known to get up at five if I have an exam to revise!
Star, can I have your email? I just need to create a new email, then I'll post mine!
haha
who started this whole conversation about wake up times anyways???
oh wait...
it was me...
heh
brb
mom calling me...
UGH
:-b
starinkbright@gmail.com
Agh, sorry I disappered again!
Danke, Star:)
Yeah, thanks Charisma!
*ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* everybody!
My wake up time is uh...whenever.
:(
I also say no thanks in German. :)
Thanks I often say as thanks. Sometimes as danke.
HELLO!
It feels so much later than 9:30ish...
WHY CAN'T IT BE TOMORROW ALREADY?
FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!
*pokes*
HELLO, FLAME!
Are you morphing into Zath? *stares at him suspiciously*
I'm tanith.maarten@gmail
Hi Val!!!
Hi Val!!!
Hello Tanith!
Hey, yesterday I saw that you said you live in the Seattle area.
SO DO I.
OW OW OW OW OW. My brother just decided it would be nice to crush my hand and attempt to pull off my fingers. He's over 6 foot and pretty strong.
OW!
*goes off to sort out emails*
VALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Hullo, Flame~!
I HAVE DECIDED, I AM MAKING A SCRAPBOOK. NOW I SHALL GO ON A MISSION TO FIND ALL THE BLOGSPEAKS AND MY DEDS AND STUFF c:
This'll be fun...
Hi Luciana!
COOL! Where? I'm in issaquah-ish unincorporated king county.
HI IVY!
*hands out blue turtles to everyone*
Don't eat those, they're pure evil.
I'm in Snohomish county, I think.
SEATTLE MINIONS UNITE!
*high fives*
Ok, I won't. I wonder if it will get along with the pink turtle I rescued from my friend Zoe.
Zoe who? I know a Zoe. In the Seattle area.
She is Melancholia.
High fives back
More emails please? Danke!
And hi everyone, sorry...I'm kinda busy so I'm jsut writing random annoying comments every 5 minutes...
My email is arandomravenclaw@gmail.com!
I don't think this Zoe has read the SP series, but I think her last name is something like Thurmann.
Emails? What for?
Not exactly Thurmann mind you, I'm bad with surnames...
Darn. Different Zoe, then. My friend is on Death Bringer AND SHE HAS IT OVER WINTER BREAK.
*insane eye twitch*
I will get my revenge...
Flame, Ivy, email.
I'm waiting for KOTW. I'm hoping one of my Australian friends will send it 2 me for a (probably late) Christmas present.
My friend has my DB and my KotW hardbacks...
I will kill him if they're damaged in the slightest...
Might have to buy another hardback of each...
Rachel, Amelia, Lauren, that was a hint!!!!!!!
Why not order it from the UK version of Amazon? That's what I did, and they books usually come within a week or two.
(I ordered KOTW for one day delivery, but all the other books came within two weeks.)
Hey guys!
BAACCKK!!
REJOICE!
msd...
my mom keeps calling me....
My sis has my dark days, but she helped pay for it, so it's ok.
I'm saving for a new laptop that's faster and doesn't have sticky e and s keys. I probably will order it if no one gets me it for Christmas though.
I think I have four books lent out at the moment, and even though I still have multiple copies of each book, I'm going to lose my mind.
KOTW I mean
Lose it again, mind you.
I let my sister borrow my Skulduggery books on the condition that if she damages them, she buys me new ones.
I don't mind a few bent pages or the ends of the cover being scuffed, but creased spines are inexcusable. :)
Haha, I only have one of each, except KOTW.
Val - my plan is to send something nice out for Christmas. That is the plan, but my plans generally...fail.
Maddie has one of my SP books.
Tom has two of my SP books.
There are also at least two SP books in wrapping paper (DD with the number on the side and DB CE) oh and KoTW audio book... c:
MY BOOKS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. BUT MAINLY ON MY BOOKCASE. What number am I on? Is it 48 or 49? I don't remember... :S
I have every book in paperback except KOTW, and then DB and KOTW in hardback.

I do have the first three audiobooks, as well, but WOW, you've got quite the collection.
WHO THE HELL EXPLOADED IRELAND. ZAFIRA I'M LOOKING AT YOU. I HAD TO BE ESCORTED OUT OF IRELAND. THEN I HAD TO ESCORT ALL THE OTHER MORTALS OUT. You're lucky I got to hang out with Niall Horan.
For me it would be dinner. I don't like tea.
I have the most books in the fandom. :)
A complete TFO trilogy for the UK and Ireland.
For the UK collection all I need is the CR of SP and the CE of MC... AND THE CE OF MC IS THE MOST AWKWARD THING TO FIND EVER AND USGCBRA^RWsfzgb D,:
But, I might be able to finish the US collection, soon! I've found the old SP paperback for the US for just over £10. c:
And I don't want all of the Aussie books. Just MC and DB for the Down Under Tour and DD, MC and DB of the white egded paperbacks, because they're pretty. :3
Ireland exploded? I hadn't heard. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Mara...it...wasnt...Zaf... *suspicious look*
Yes. *folds arms curtly* Stupid Zaf. Stupid sorcerers. Stupid.
What are we talking about?
OMG I JUST ATE A KUMQUAT!
it was actually rly yummy...
I'm totally not sure which editions/versions I have. SP, I have a UK version, but that's all I know.
It was. She commented it.
WHY WOULD YOU LIE TO MARA MEL?!
We were actually discussing Skulduggery for a little while. :3
And then apparently someone exploded Ireland, so... ^^
...
Who exploded Ireland?
I've never had a kumquat, but I've had a blood orange.
ZAAAAAAAAAF! *attacks* WHY DID YOU EXPLOAD IRELAND YOU NUTCASE?!
Ohh i love blood orange! :)
see I told you it wasnt Zaf...
Maarten, what do they look like? Are they hardback? Or paperback?
And are they bigger or smaller than normal size paperbacks?
Do any of them have coloured pages?
Or are they the new paperbacks, which all look similar? ^^
I'm not sure... I'm totally missing. Something. It wasn't me, though.
Mmhm. Suuuuure. *looks at Mel skeptically*
Go ask Derek. I didnt do it this time! Swear to god.
MAYBE AN IRIMINION EXPLODED IRELAND AND TRIED TO BLAME IT ON ZAF! *nods*
Luci, the SP one has a Tom percival cover with orange letters and white edges.
well I can tell you it wasnt the american grand mage and the scottish grand mage... *gulp*
And brb since dad doesnt know how to use other means of technology
NOOO BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE COMMENTS NOT STALKERISHLY AND ZAF COMMENTED AND EXPLOADED IRELAND TWICE.
They're all drawn by Tom, in the UK.
ONE MINUTE!
It wasn't me, and Klare's busy with some sort of undersea project in Puget Sound, so it wasn't her either.
Or my little sis or her cat.
yeah...twice...she totally didnt mean to do it a third time... (P.S it wasnt zaf)
Hmm. *looks at everyone* GENERAL CHARMO IS HERE. EVERYONE GET THE HELL OVER TO THE WALL. NOW!
and btw did anyone ded for me earlier?
Do they have short stories in the back, Maarten?
SP does. That's the one I'm holding.
I don't think anyone dedicateed, Mel! :(
Then you've got the new paperbacks:3
WHEN I GET ALL MY BOOKS BACK I AM TOTALLY SEEING IF THEY'RE TALLER THAN ME!
ok then I will now, I dedicate this page to Lucy' amazing SP and other book collections and also to Zafs inocents concerning Ireland exploding :D
FROST. DROP AND GIVE ME TWENTY!
SCÁTH. NO TALKING. TEN SIT UPS.
MAARTEN. FIFTEEN JUMPING JACKS NOW.
YAY FOR BOOKS! :D
*frowns* But talking is fun... *throws Skittles at Mara* That takes effort. :D
Haha. Thanks for identifying.
Now. If anyone has any evidence to help Miss Kerias' case, you may do so now.
yeah...ahh see excersise is kind of my one grey area so Im going to have to politely say...hmmm... no.
SCÁTH. IT IS GENERAL CHARMO FOR YOUR INFORMATION. TWENTY SIT UPS.
I'll call Fabi, I think she might know.
Something important.
FROST. DON'T MAKE ME SAY FOURTY.
*forty
Zaf is trying to get her job back as Grand Mage.
Therefore, meaning she'd be less likely to do something such as blowing up Ireland if she's wanting back her job. She'd be more focussed on proving herself worthy of being Grand Mage of America, no?
Maarten. Very good. Have a waffle. *hands waffle* #
yeah, see I still dont think your cathing my drift, getting the point, on the same wave length as me ... I dont want to and I still am going to say...hmmm... no.
But, Mara, that takes efffffffooooooorttttttttttttt.
And I'm older, so you can't tell me what to do;)
Scáth. I see. But why did she say it in her comments?
Why would i do something stupid if I want my job back? Derek fired me but i'm trying to prove i'm much more worthy. So i would not explode countries or people, as for small tiny objects as homework maybe
Because someone logged in using her account to do such a thing as they do not wish for Zafira to take her place back as Grand Mage, despite her being amazing at it!
It was probably Sult. *nods*
yeah and in Zafs case, shes kinda sensible and wouldnt do something like this without telling someone or discussing it with another person/member of another country so unless you can find someone then I dont think she did it
Scáth. I don't care.
Frost. Look at my virtual face. GIVE ME THOSE PUSHUPS.
ehhh no.
I don't care, either! Yay! :D
Wait. What are we caring about?
Ah, Miss Kerias. You're back.
... *whines* BEING SENSIBLE IS BORING. I'M GOING BACK TO BEING MARA.
*punches zombie in the face*
You do NOT try to steal my tea!
*sips tea*
Thank you! I'm not that sadistic. I may be very mad at Derek fir firining me but last time I exploded Ireland was in the summer
Zafira, I hate to point this out, but you blew up Ireland the other day.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO- *runs into wall*
VAL, SHUSH
I WAS BEING SUCH A GOOD DEFENCE THEN! D:
I want tea, now...
Val - AHAHAHAHAHA I KNEW IT. THANK YOU.
K Fabi's on her way. She needs 2 set up an account.
*whispers* guys Mara is running into walls... throws fireball at maras legs
I think someone placed a wall magnet inside my head.
No I didnt!
*growls*
i want my job back. Im not going to be that bad!
Though honestly I doubt Derek cares
KK. Hi, its Tani's BFF, Fabi. You still need help figuring out if this Zaf person is guilty?
Hi, Fabi!!!!!!
Again, I believe that someone such as Sult was to blame, due to the fact that Zafira is incredibly dedicated to being a good citizen and she would never do such a ridiculous thing. Sult, working for the current Grand Mage, must have blown up Ireland and framed Zafira out of fear of Zafira becoming Grand Mage once again. c:
Hi Fabi! *waves* I'm Mara and I know Zaf is guilty. *glares at Zaf*
Hey guys! Sorry... I kinda got distraceed.. but I'm back now!
REJOICE!
It's probably unforgivable of me to copy and paste this onto my iPod to read everyday isn't it... ;)
*Distracted
yeah Zafs a good person who would never destroy/blow up/set on fire a large object/piece of land/artifact without knowing the effects it has but like homework thats fine
Hi, Tani. You're really excited to see me, considering we just spoke on the phone. Scath-you may be on the right track. What does this Sult look like? Zaf-I have not ruled out your guilt, but I have already heard the main arguments against you.
*falls over* *squeals* *throws light at Mel*
Lol, fab.
ducks from light throws snowmans head at mara... hehehe
So, let me get this straight. Zaf has a history of blowing up Ireland, which leads Maralie to believe she's guilty. Melicia and and Scath don't believe she's guilty, because of motive. Interesting.
Of course I'm on the right track, I'm me. *smiles*
However, being a friend of Zafira's I am aware of how innocent she is of this ridiculous accusation.
GONNA CHANGE TO MY PHONE SO BRB AND WBD.
I'm in Ireland and I know she did it. My house is all burnt.
Mel - *teleports away*
You all claim that Zafira would never do a thing like that, but doesn't she have a history? Are there any other suspects you would like to suggest? Tanith, watch and see who's acting suspicious.
Fabi, they're all suspicious.
What am I on trial?! When did Blogland have a court?!
Zaf has a huge history of exploading Ireland. And she said she did a few pages ago.
I love Pantomimes! *laughs*
IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH A BANANA!
KK. I'm checking a few pages ago for evidence. Hi, Zaf. Blogland has a court whenever im around.
*punches a squirrel in the face*
*tries to look innocent*
I want a lawyer! I call Master Derek Landy to the stand! He'd defend me!
BUT BANANAS ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF POTASSIUM!
Sorry, Ninth Doctor moment.
Banana?
VAL! What did that squirrel ever do to you?
You could try Kestrel.
Like I said, I blame Sult.
He has a ridiculous name... It's only ridiculous because I always read it as Slut... ^^
ZAF IS COMPLETELY INNOCENT SO YOU CAN ALL SHUSH BECAUSE I'M OLDER;)
It gave me a weird look, Maralie. That squirrel was plotting murder.
And... uh... I'm definitely NOT a psychopathic murderer... *glances around*
KESSIE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!!
*scowls* Age means nothing in Blogland.
Okay. You may punch it again, Val.
I meant as a lawyer not a suspect.
How old r u? Prove it!
Ah. But Kessie would help my case. Not Zaf's.
Hey, maybe the squirrel did it!
It should... Purely because I'm too lazy to actually argue a case properly. :P
Well, we'd have to see, but she's not online now so...
Well then, if age is taken into effect, go ahead and ask Em, who would most certainly say Zaf did it.
Im innocent!!!! I wouldnt blow up Ireland! I want Derek!
I like the idea of blogland having a court :)
Tani, ur not making sense again.
I'm sixteen. c:
LET'S JUST BLAME THE SQUIRREL SO I CAN SPAZ ABOUT GETTING MORE SP BOOKS ON TUESDAY XD
No. Kessie would help me.
The squirrel, online?
Why are we arguing this? Most of us are part of OTOA anyway. We've got to help Zaf, innocent or not.
I'm also 16.
BLAME THE SQUIRREL!
*gets lemons ready to chuck at it*
I'm 13. And awesome.
wait, whats OTOA again?
ZAF IS NOT INNOCENT. I WAS A WITNESS.
But I agree with Val - help her anyway (with what??)
p.s Hi.
Em and Zaf are always fighting, though. Bias, n all. :P
What are you going to do even if you find me guilty? Its going to be exactly like what happened to Scarab!
Sorry, Fab. Do you want to declare the squirrel guilty, sentence it to being punched in the face, and move on?
No one said bias wasn't allowed. I thought you said we were taking age into consideration.
I'm 12. Yay.
Oh my God. I'm older than Kessie.
Nah, Zaf, I dont care :)
Well, I WOULD, if Ireland actually HAD been blown up.
But.
No.
I dont think we should blame a squirel for blowing up Ireland, yes it may have commited other crimes but this is about Zaf.
I've been here longest out of everyone on! I feel special! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Maralie, me too :P
OMG. Im 14 guys.
Dudes, bias in court--seriously. That's why I'm here, cause I don't know any of you.
