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...

Don't most robberies occur when people are out anyway? Why do you think we got an alarm? I stay home I turn the alarm on so nobody can get in without me knowing and usually if you do get in it goes off and the company calls and all plus if you get cornered and need help without the police knowing there is a special code you punch in that sends a help message to police and shuts the alarm off and it tells the company not to call the home. Then police come

Hey Aretha

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

Hi Ari...maybe I will try this since Adra is in Hell with Niccolò and all so I can't really rp with either

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey Ari.

Don't you think that's too massive to be a coincidence Zaf? If you were a thief and were going to rob a house would you do it with people there or when the house was empty?

You get an alarm for that same reason, to wake you up at night, and to alert neighbours when you're out.

Okay Zaf- fine. Just stop complaining okay? Just stop. I'll leave, your Highness, if you stop this. Deal? Deal. Good. Now let me finish this in peace

Heh... I'm in the library, so yelling really wouldn't be wise. The teen section is noisy enough as it is. Thanks, though.

I'm sort of stealthily creeping them out. It's fun!

I did, Trip, and was thoroughly impressed by it!

Boy: We're following your fucking nose!!

Niccolo is in Hell, I hear. Sucks to be him.
Precocious has never been to Hell, though she has often contemplated the thought that she would rather be there.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Trip has never been to hell. But he's been told to go there many times, he assumes it's quite nice, if so many people recommend it, and it's on his list of potential winter holidays.

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

Precocious was told to go to Hell once.
Her response was "I doubt the Devil would want the competition."

She was very Proud and Majestic that day.

Noelle said...

Emerald Melody said...

*The teenagers jump back and scream in surprise*

Boy: Fuck that!!!!

Girl: Wow *laughs* is he a warlock too??

Alastair Cruciatus said...

He would tell Doctor that she really you wouldn't rather be there if she had seen it herself, but that's his opinion. And it might also be biased, just because his Hell is personalised and therefore probably more painful than normal Hell would be. I think. Maybe.

Woah woah woah....a Tasmanian Devil is a legit animal? Sorry watching Jeopardy

The Grave of a Coward said...

I don't know what Trip and those kids are doing over there but let me know if there's a place for an eccentric monster hunter with a lab coat and a fixation with pop tarts.

If not, I may just shimmy on down the bunny trail and concoct a solo RP for mah-self.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No. But I assume you we're talking about Leo then?

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

I belong in Hell I'll gladly trade with Niccolò.

The Grave of a Coward said...

As a Christian, I strongly believe in the existence of Hell, and I, truthfully, have no desire to go there. Even for winter holidays.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Must run, sorry

Okay . . . so . . . the factory . . . is . . . on Drury Lane!
No, no, I must be reading the map wrong. Everybody knows that's where the Muffin Man lives. Funny, I actually have never met the Muffin Man. I don't know him. I should rectify that.

Stupid map. How did I even get a Nigerian road map, any way?
And why is it a Nigerian road map for West Virginia, where everybody knows the best poptarts are made?
I dunno.
Go figure.

Well, I haven't seen Leo for a while. I must admit I have has mixed experiences with him.

Listen, I was just on my way to a creepy cave to perform a satanic ritual, in the spirit of Halloween and all, and I came across some kids who's intent was unclear to me. You seem fine, so can I help you?

Oh, well, I'm sure it's the right factory. It's probably nothing. Though those dark red clouds coming from the smokestacks sure look menacing.

I'm here to deliver some packages.

Guard: Ma'am, you're driving a hearse.

Yes? What of it?

Oh, okay, go right ahead!

Oh, I don't think I've actually seen Leo since we killed Deacon, and we parted on bad terms.

Giggler: It seems . . . *wheeze* . . . smaller than usual.

Well, y'know. Budget cuts. The recession hit us undertakers pretty hard. People are burying their own bodies, you know, and taxidermy has become much more popular. Y'know how it is, some guy named Elvis wants to stuff his brother Adolf and it all spirals downhill from there.

Giggler: Of course.

I like you, though, I like you. You're wearing a lab coat, just like me. And you have gray hair, just like me. And your empty eye sockets are dripping blood all down your hand-knit sweater, unlike me. But I still like you, don't get me wrong.

Well, this . . . this is a fascinating factory. I can see those giant cogs there are grinding . . . it looks like, strawberry poptart filling? And over there, those bit stompers are stomping little round bits of stuff . . . flat? And over there, they're grinding these long, thing, white things into power, and baking bread with it? Ohhhhh, that's the poptart crust!

Giggler: Peptart.

And up on that conveyor belt, I can see a bunch of limp and immobile people . . . dummies I think . . . being slowly moved into that tunnel full of spinny blades, yeah?

Giggler: Yep.

. . . Sooooooo . . . anyway, I would like to buy some poptarts . . .

Giggler: Give me the intestines first.

Giggler: . . .

. . .

Giggler: . . .

. . . I beg your pardon?

Giggler: The intestines. In the moist towelette box.

. . . say what now?

Giggler: The delivery. We need intestines to make sprinkles.

Sprinkles?

Giggler: Sprinkles, yes, for the peptarts.

Poptarts.

Giggler: Peptarts. If you came seeking poptarts, you were sadly mistaken. Those are in the Poptart factory. This is the Peptart factory, where we make Peptarts for demons and eldritch horrors and zombies and shamblers and things of that nature. They sell quite well in alternate dimensions.

You mean . . .

Giggler: Pep-tarts. People-tarts. Quite unlike POP tarts, which are made with fruit.

You . . .
Mean . . .

Giggler: No, I mean we make these peptarts out of people. And you know something? You look like you'd make a DELICIOUS one.

Oh, it's um... Talking with the dead. The uh, the not so good dead. You know how bad people go to the afterlife?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

@Niccolo- to hell with that, no pun intended

Actually, *hits him across the jaw* You're my friend, so you need to stop being a lil' bitch about this and listen- we all care for you, and you need to stop hurting yourself for those people's deaths. As I said- all people are on a journey to learn, and perhaps they had already gotten what they needed.
And there is no bringing them back
So there is no point. Those souls have moved on and are past the point of caring- you ought to be as well

Noelle said...

@Trip: ...yeah?

Wait, who are you summoning?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*it's a peaceful day*
*a beautiful day*
*and a black hearse it tearing out of the parking lot of Peptart faster than a hearse should ever need to go*

Gotta get away from here . . . gotta get away . . .
*starts humming the song 'Gotta Get Away'*
Gah! What am I doing? This is serious!
*taps a symbol*
*the hearse mutates into a van*
Man oh man, I HATE Nigerian road maps!
I've gotta get back to the Midnight Hotel . . .
Gotta get back . . .
*flips on the radio*
*the song 'Gotta Get Away' is on*
Aw, come on!

*drives towards the Midnight Hotel*
*not noticing the intestines dangling from her bumper*
Gotta tell Anton about this . . . or Franny Saltalamachia, that weird lady across the hall who's in love with a fruitcake tree . . .

(I still have you guys. We can rp - sort of - lol but no matter)

Leo: So what were you meant to be doing today in your training?

Amelia: Um... for me it was my scent/tracking skills and for Alfie it was....

Alfie: Shielding and attacking while defending.

Leo: Sounds tough. I didn't realise your dad had gotten that far with you.

... *kneels and puts pressure on the stone, the beads melt, pooling, the ring of liquid ignites, and the cave goes darker,
Illinated by it's crimson and black flames, as if all the light was being sucked into the portal, a name floats through the afterlife, calling. Deacon. Drifting airily through the nothing, searching, probing.*

Anton: *looks at her as if she has two heads*
*green skin*
*and a platypus*
Welcome back. I cleaned up your room . . .

Thank you . . .

Anton: Also, I felt bad about yelling at you earlier, so I bought you this to make up for it.
*presents her with pop tarts*


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAAAAAHAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms. Precocious?
Are you alright, Ms. Precocious?

*continues to stare into the dying flames* They were people, Adra, and they ought not to have died.

...Even so, that is irrelevant to what I'm asking. I know you all care for me, but a demon owns my soul, and it shall be dangerous and expensive to retrieve, if retrieval is possible to begin with. All I ask is that none of you endanger yourselves in an attempt to bring me back again.

@Niccolo: *sarcastically* It's as if you have no faith in us at all! For shame- whatever will we do?

To be quite serious, we will figure something out, and correct this.. Don't worry, although I'm sure you feel exactly the opposite..

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

If you could actually make some T-Shirts... I would so buy some.

And can she be wearing the magical sequinned tuxedo jacket? And can the evil unicorn be eating a poptart?

And can the back of the shirt be just Oscar, standing there and looking disgusted, with the text IF YOU CAN READ THIS, YOU ARE STANDING TO CLOSE TO ME)

[Sorry, now I'm just wildly brainstorming.]

(What if there was a shirt that had Precocious driving the creepy black van on the front, and then on the back it had little pictures of all the different shapes the van could take? Like the hearse, or the ice cream truck, or the snowmobile, or the pterodactyl?)

HELLOOO!!!!
I don't even know if this'll post
because my parents put up all these parental control-y things on my computer FOR SOME REASON THAT I DO NOT KNOW.
And they blocked me from having access to "adult websites" and this apparently qualifies as an "Adult website" so whenever I click on the comment-y thing, I can see the first page of comments but not the next coz when I click on it it says that parental controls don't allow me to view that page and it's REALLY ANNOYING but my parents don't know that I have an account on this thing and that I'm talking to you all coz then I'd get in a bunch of trouble for talking to complete strangers that are OBVIOUSLY stalkers who want to kill me because EVERYONE knows that EVERYONE in the internet is a stalker and yeah. So I can't ask them to take off the parental controls for that reason.
ANYWAY
this comment is just a test testing whether or not I can actually POST comments, but when I post this, it might not let me view because it's on an adult website or it might not post it in general so I don't even know WHY I'm making this so long. It's also a very very big run on sentence... BUT WHO CARES!
GRAMMAR SHMAMMAR

..
ok
so
if this DOES post
THEN YAY! I CAN POST THINGS!
but If I don't say anything after posting this then that means that it won't let me go onto another page and I'll have to come on here on my phone which means that I have to come on less (Lesser than I have been lately) and yeah.

Ok
That probably didn't make much sense but you probably get the basic idea so HER I GO POSTING IT YAY *copies comment so that all this writing and time didn't go to waste*

Deacon: None taken at all. And I am in hell Adra, not as bad as everyone has been making out to be.

So how may I be of service to a knowledgeable being like yourself.
