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...

What do you think of this, Valkyrie first person?
'Last words?' said Skulduggery, his gun pressed against my temple, his voice as smooth as ever. He was wearing a pin-stripe suit, with a matching hat and black shoes. His suit was dusty and torn from war. His head cocked to the side, and he whispered, 'I'm sorry, Valkyrie, really I am.'
He fired the revolver, a flame licking my temple and then I was awake.
(this was written on my iPod, it's terrible I know.)
Argh. Brb.
*sword slices my arm*
*fireball flies after Star, who departs swiftly*
*watches fighting from a tree*
Hey Mara. How's you?
That sounds intriguing and awesome. O_O
Back.
I'm good :) Have the flu, but I'm good. How're you?
Bored, annoyed, depressed.
Realtives. Sometimes, I just swear.
Other than that, I'm good. :)
Hey Star :)
Victorious... *laughs*
Flame, that sounds awesome! Poor Val O.O
Tell me about it. *rolls eyes* My dad is so annoying. And my aunt. I'm not even going to start on my cousins...
Really?
Well, I'm here for my 4 year cousin's b-day.
So here I am.
Have to leave in a minute, to facepalms at a party.
*hangs upside down on tree*
*hums 1D*
Facepaint*
Okay Flame :)
My dad keeps calling me and asking when I'm coming down -_- I keep telling him I'm sick and I'll call him when I know. Damn family. *sighs*
Well, I'm a loner.
I feel so worthless sometimes.
So I'm sitting here on my Itouch talking to you guys. :)
Well, you're definitely not worthless, I can tell you that :)
I'm on my phone, chatting to you guys and watching Gravity Falls. :) It's so funny XD

OMG LITTLE TALKS IS ON THE RADIO.
Cute! :D
I can't do keyboard arty stuffs... :P
It was supposed to be like a man or something..
I don't know.
I LOVE LITTLE TALKS O.O
Don't listen to a word I say...
HEY HEY
I got a story idea from that song.
Short one, never wrote it though...
I'm sitting here trying to print this thingy out. Damn the laptop. It keeps not responding. Damn the rpinter. It also keeps not responding.
I'm so annoyed today. I keep being mad at everyone and everything. :/
Relatives are so irritating. *nods*
*psuses to scream at laptop* IF YOU WORKED PROPERLY, I COULD HAVE FINSIHED THIS HOMEWORK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO! I'M NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING!
How are you worthless? O_O
I hope you feel better soon, Maraness . . . Flu's evil. :/
It's really cool!
[^.^]

*shrugs* I just feel like I am.
I don't have a printer :( Wish I did.
Thanks Star :) Yes. Yes it is evil. *scowls*
My laptop is always unresponsive and it's really annoying -_-
I have one but it doesn't work.
Seemingly.
I suspect we just can't afford ink.
It's old, though.
We have a new printer. Before we got it, we had a really old one and I actually didn't know it was phsyically possible to print pictures in colour from home without them being blurry. *laughs*
Our new printer doesn't like colour printing either. Keeps stopping and cancelling in the middle. Or it could be the laptop. 'Sprobably the laptop. *hits it*
Rambling. Rambling. RAMBLING.
I ramble a lot. *nods*
Stupid laptop! *throws light at laptop*
sorry, I was rambling.
Anyway- *kills the printer*
NOW YOU SHALL NEVER PRINT!
THAT'S EVIL I AM.
MWHAHAHAHAAHA!
*stops*
I have to go now.
G'byes all around *hugs everyone*
How*
:( FOURS, FLAME!
*starts putting printer back together* *realises I'm mixing up parts from the broken printer and broken laptop*
GODDAMMIT.
XD
Bye now!
Bye Flame! *hugs* :(
*attacks printer*
*shoves Star into lake* *giggles*
GOD Derek needs to make a new post
Hey Adra! *hugs*
He really does...
*is kinda here*
Kinda cause I'm distant and not here long...
But hi. :)
Hi Lav! *hugs* :)
Hey Derek-de mundo! We need a new post!
[Sleepwalks in]
Neeww pooossstt. [Nods]
*hums One Thing*
Shot me outta the sky, you're my kryptonite...
Hi Mara, Adra, and Star. :) And whoever I may have missed.
Yeah, I hope Derek can make a new post soon... It doesn't have to be about anything muh, just to let us know he's not been taken by zombies. ;P
Wazzap Fabi-lous!
Haha. Sorry.
Hey Fabi! *hugs*
WE NEEED NEEEEW POOOOOST.
LAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *hugs*
*much
Hi Fabi!
Zombies...[Waves arm around] [Is still sleepwalking'] Zombiesssssss...
Oh, who am I kidding? Despite the fact that it's 5:47 am on a Saturday, I feel perfectly awake!
Hi all!
[Tries to think of wordplay for Adra. Fails]
[Hugs Mara back]
[Smiles at Lav]
Hi(again), Adra! Hey... Have you posted another chapter the tabitha story yet? Sorry, can't spell the name...
Oh. So you're one of those WESTERN folk?
Fabigail, I thought you said 'Niall' not 'Hi all'...
Lav! Um... I haven't yet but I can this weekend if you want???? And it's Requiem :P
MAR LOL
That's early. But cool that you're perfectly awake.
*smiles back at Fabi*
I'm farther west than most. I believe I am east of Val V, though.
And yep, Mara, I totally go around talking about 1D as much as you do. I actually meant Niall, whose name I was stating for absolutely no reason. Actually, no. It's just your 1D-oriented brain.
Oh. Heh. I thought it was Reliquem or something... I really think I might have a slight dyslexic disorder too. :P But that's just me thinking that.
I'm fine whenever it comes. Just wondered. You don't have to if you don't want. :)
I have more time to fangirl cause I'm sick :) no chores! Woooo! XD
WOW. THE PRINTER'S PRINTING.
*printer stops printing* DAMMIT.
*screams* IF THE DAMN WEBSITE WOULD RESPOND, I'D EMAIL IT TO MY SCHOOL ADESS AND PRINT IT OUT AT SCHOOL . . .
Look at it like it's my taken morning. The one I'm given is too short, driving to the airport takes a lot of piffling time. And yep! I'm awake! It's raining.
If I /was/ back 'home', I'd be almost the same place. But two states down. :) CA
No, no, I've been meaning to any way... Because i was procrastinating. A lot. :D
NORTH CAROLINA/ KENTUCKY REPRESENT.
dawg
Fabigail, I hope you enjoy your holiday to wherever you're going! Sorry, I'm a scatterbrain... I forgot :P
Hi Star!
[Raises eyebrow at printer and makes 'serious face']
Everybody's sick this week! Not cool, germs! [panicks]
Well, that's the upside of it, Mara. Hope you feel better all the same.
Thanks Fab! :) *hugs*
I'm always sick now... *frowns*
Hope you feel better soon though, Mara! ;) I don't want you to be sick. :(
Taken morning... Is it just me, or is it meant to not make sense? Sorry, a little, scrambled this... night.
Thanks, Mara. And I'm going to Chicago and Montreal. Also possibly a Wisconsin side trip, but my relatives there are beef-witted maggot-pies, so I'm hoping not!
Ahhh gtg to horseback rdn... ta peeps! *hugs*
Thanks Lav! *hugs* :)
Bye Adra! Have fun! :) *hugs*
It just popped out of my head. It makes sense to me.
[hugs Mara back] I know the feeling, I was sick all last week as some of the one before. [Grimaces]. I'm better now though, and you'll be better soon!
Have fun, Adra! [hugs]
Bye Adra! Horseback riding sounds fun. I've never been able to ride a horse by myself before. It sounds cool to try.
Thanks Fabigail :)
*hangs upside down from tree*
*sings 1D*
Other people (aka parents) are waking up, so I may have to go eat breakfast or pack something-or-other soon.
Msd.
Okay, Fabi. I think I'm going to go to bed now...
Night guys!
Upside down...
Night, Lav!
Night Lav! *hugs* :)
Okay Fabi! :)
. . . That printing took me abot two hours . . .
Some of the printed sheets are in places irreadable, but I DON'T ------- CARE.
That printer sounds so stupid... *throws ball of light at printer*
Printers...
Okay, I think this is it for a while. See you in a week! (Well, I'll probably still be on email some, and maybe here a bit, but I really can't be sure)
So, yeah. Bye! I don't think I'll be able to come back between now and airport time. [Hugs everyone who doesn't mind being hugged, including those who aren't here now]
OUR PRINTER IS JUST A PIECE OF ----. THAT WAS MEANT TO BE A QUICK, EASY HOMEWORK. BUT OH NO, I HAD TO SPEND TWO HOURS OF MY LIFE AND OF THE LAST DAY OF THE HOLIDAYS TRYING TO PRINT A MERE ------- SIX PAGES BECAUSE OF THE -------- PRINTER BEING A ----- AND PAUSING AND TELLING ME I NEED MORE ------ COLOUR INK WHEN I'M PRINTING IN GODDAMMNED BLACK AND WHITE. AND THE ------ LAPTOP NOT RESPONDING AND NOT EVEN ------ TELLING ME IT WASN'T RESPONDING AND THEREFORE GIVING ME OPTIONS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, WHICH IS A ------ ALL-TIME LOW. TWO HOURS. TWO ------ HOURS. FOR SIX ------ SHEETS OF PAPER THAT MY TEACH DOESN'T EVEN ------- CARE ABOUT.
OUR OLD PRINTER WAS A PIECE OF ----, BUT AT LEAST IT GODDAMN PRINTED. I WANT A NEW PRINTER. I WANT ONE ------- NOW. I HAVE THE REST OF MY HOMEWORK TO DO NOW, GODDAMMIT, AND I NEED TO PRINT HAVE OF THAT.
..........
----, is all I can say.
*nods* Calmer now. :)
FOURS FABI! :(
That printer is a piece of ----, yes. The laptop is worse, however.
*has partially revoked taboo against swearing for the moment*
And now I have more ------ printing to do in a sec.
*growls*
*calms self* I'll stop half-swearing now . . .
*hums I Should've Kissed You nd gets back to homework*

Ja, Mara. It's still in my head. :/
It's a good song though... *grins*
It is. :)
I'm watching the trailer again...
Why am I so happy? :P
I don't know! Happiness is good though. :) Makes you live longerrrrrrrr. :)
I'm glad you're happy. :)
Yeah, happiness is better than being upset all day... :)
Thanks Star :) *hugs*
*hugs back* I didn't do anythink! :P
Laughter is the key to longevity, they say. :)
And just after saying that, Enough came on, so I'll be all sad now! XD
HI SCÁTH!
I tend not to cry at it when I'm multitasking, though. :)
You made me smile, Star! :P
Hi Luci! :) *hugs* It's true :)
Hai.
MY MUM IS IN A GOOD MOOD, TODAY. IT'S AWESOME. she even bought me pop!:D
My mum's getting me a huge bottle of Lucozade because it's meant to help when you're sick :) I love Lucozade! XD
That's great Luci! :) I'm glad your mum is happy :) Everyone seems to be happy today!
I have to print my homework now . . . D:
LET'S HOPE IT WORKS!
*crosses fingers* WORK PRINTER! WORK! XD
Ah, my homework has lines all over it and I had to reprint it a few times, BUT I GOT IT DONE. IN UNDER AND HOUR. XD
Msd. :(
@nearly all the comments since not the last time I commented, but the time before: YAYNESS!
*AN
THANKS, MARANESS! :) Your willpower must have done the trick. *nods*
Congratulations Star! XD
Mmm, Lucozade and popcorn... :3
*is looking at homework planner and trying to decipher new fancy handwriting*
Ah, never mind, I'm done with homework for a bit. *nods*
The ridiculous thing is it should have taken a third of that time to do those two easy homeworks . . .
POPCORN IS SO JEPIC. :)
I love Criminal, really I do. :) One of my fav songs.
OMGG MY MUM GOT ME SMARATIES!
I love being sick... XD
See, Disturbed are awesome partially because nearly all their songs are consistently awesome. *nods* The awesomenes is sustained throughout their *borrows word from Wiki* chronology.
SORRY, I NEEDED SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT. XD
I love Over Again... It's on Take Me Home :)
THAT''S AESOMENESS!!!
I want to be sick. *scowls* I DON'T WANT MY HOLIDAYS TO END, EITHERS!!!
*frowns* Actually, usually when I'm sick but not extrememly sick, I get dragged round after my mum the whole day coz she's working, but I could probably be left at home now . . . I haven't be ill not on the weekend when none of my other siblings are ill for . . . a few years. XD
Hole in the middle of my heart like a polo...
They kinda rap in it... *sighs happily*
TAKE A SMARATIE! *gives Star packet of sMaraties* XD
My mother leaves me at home if I'm sick because she doesn't want anyone else to get sick... XD
I love Divide!!! Which is one Indestructible by Disturbed!!! *is listening to the album*
Indestructible is so awesome. *cries* Indestructiblethesong and Divide and Criminal and The Curse and Inside The Fire and The Night and Perfect Insanity and Facade and Enough and whatever else. D: I CAN'T COMPREHEND HOW SO MUCH AWESOMENESS IS IN ONE PLACE. O_O
Ah, and I thought Asylum was the awesome one. I was mostway through the album a few months ago thinking "HOW COME ALL THE SONGS SO FAR HAVE BEEN MY FAVOURITES????"
I wasn't considored old enough to be left on my own, ESPCIALLY NOT SICK.
I need to get sick, now. Mara, you need to come over here and infect me. D:
*eats sMaratie* THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's cool. *nods*
OH WAIT. Gtg, bb in about 45 minutes! :(
I remember listening to 1D... I was like, "BEAUTIFUL OMG."
And now TMH is out and and and *cries* MORE BEAUTIFULNESS. D

I've been kind of tired and grumpy all day. I'm blaming Flame. Because he's evil. *nods*

I'm finding a vid for Tears Don't Fall now. :)
ADORE THAT SONG, OMGG.
YOUR TEARS DON'T FALL, THEY CRASH AROUND MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Hello, Sir! Hey Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
How're you?
I'M SAD - ONE MORE DAY BEFORE BACK TO SCHOOL! *cries*
Otherwise, ich bin gut, danke. :)
You?
Hey sir ! Wb star!
I'm as well as can be expected.
*Disentangles himself from the rather tight hug*
Ah, sorry, Reggie...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I feel your pain!

I want food but my oven wont hurry up...
*mumbles*
*throws Mel cookies*
Hello again :)
That's good. :)
Hey, Mara!!!! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
Yay!
*eats cookies*
Hey mara!
Hey Mel and Ieni and Star and Sir! :) *hugs*
Mara being forced to take medicine. *pouts* Medicine YUCKY.
Greetings Mara. Remember, medicine is there to help you get better. The sacrifice of taste is worth it, in my opinion.
Heyo Mara.
*wails* But I don't like it...
*ponders* Although there is a strawberry-tasting one inside the fridge...
:( Ieni thinks you should imagination the medicene has been touched by Harry Styles or something...
*summons ball of light in hand* *grins at Star*
I believe we were fighting?
MARA YOU'RE SUMMONING A BALL OF LIGHT LIKE SAM!
STAR LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME D:
O.O
IENI THAT WOULD BE AWESOME OMFGG.
My friend is going to see 1D and she said at the Meet 'N Greet, she'll record Harry saying, "I love you Jane." :)
IT'S NOT IN MY OPINION!
. . . Not for small things, that is. :)
I remember when I had to have medicine a number of times a day (I can only remember having to go to the office for it every lunch) for my scalp and it was pink and IT TASTED SO SO SO YUCK. I hated it more than the horrible horrible horrible shampoo I had to use. *nods*
Sam...?
From Gone, I guess? :P
*hugs Star* WE MUST PROTEST AGAINST PINK YUCKY MEDICINE!
*hugs Ieniness*
YA, YOU'RE SO AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Yus, I infected you. Screw Disturbed, this infection must not die! XD *nods*
*swings sword at Mara's arm* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
*falls out of tree* *yelps* *throws light at Star*
ONE DIRECTION INFECTION«3
JA!!! SAM TEMPLE FROM GONE!!!
Gah, there are a billion versions of Tears Don't Fall. D:
*hugs Mara back before zipping back to fighting*
THAT INFECTION MUST NOT DIE NEITHER. *nods*
The Infection is therefore a very stupid song. Immensely awesome, but stupid nonetheless. :)
Also, Mara, my friend said thankyou for saying Happy Birthday to her!
Oooo, that's awesome!
Medicene, in general is icky, but then I've never needed to have any so *shrugs*
YES TAKE OUT THE PINK YUCKY MEDIENCE - BRING IN RAINBOW COLOURED MEDICENE!
*runs around in circles arond Mara and Star*
I want to read Gone so much! D: I can't find it in the library and my mother won't let me buy it... :(
