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...

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

Calidae Dark said...

NOM Ominous said...

Derek Landy. I has come to THE END of KOTW.

Star Inkbright said...

My first blackist, too! :)

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

DEREK!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

I reckon I originally have minimally enough for three people to do red, three to do orange, four to do yellow, four to do green, six to do blue, four to do black, two to do white, one to do grey, two to do purple, and four to do pink.

Now people have picked colours, then left I have two for red, one for orange, four for yellow, three for green, four for blue, three for black, teo for ehite, one for grey, one for purple, and four for pink.

And that means that one person's picked red, two orange, one green, two blue, one black, and one purple.

*frowns* I just like doing these calculations. As mentioned before, I'm odd like that.

Star Inkbright said...

Colour, Thrust?

Calidae Dark said...

Ink, im writing a story, the main characers being as many blog-landians as I can get.....

can I PLEEEEASE use you?
Of course, you have every right to say no.

Anonymous said...

You can use me!!!?

I added a question mark so it didn't seem like a command...

Anonymous said...

Oops, I'm signed in under the wrong name... It's Mythology.

Calidae Dark said...

yes thanks!!!! As many people as I can get....

back soon guys breaking for lunch :)

NOM Ominous said...

half an hour.
Maybe Derek will make a NEW post...!

Niamhy Jay said...

OMG 35 MINUTES UNTIL THE POST COMES DOWN D':

Star Inkbright said...

Blue eyes, light brown hair. My weapon would be a sword. Erm. I'm an adept and last time I made an OC I har ink powers. I can sense ink, manifest ink, move ink, and transform into ink. So, if there's ink in a room, I'll sense where it is; moving ink is obvious; I can, like shoot ink out of my hands; and when I turn into ink I literally turn into a puddle of ink on the floor. I can move slightly as a puddle of ink. Not much. I could shift slowly to the left, for example. Also, say I broke my arm - if I turned into ink, I would no longer be in pain, but when I turn back into human, hello painful broken arm. And I'm fourteen. Anything else?

Drew O'Connor said...

Please don't push him to make an engagement post lads please lol

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

Star Inkbright said...

Melica Frost said...

MEH INDEED.

Star Inkbright said...

'~'

Melica Frost said...

Calidae Dark said...

Or he fell asleep. Maybe his face is smooshed on the keyboard infront of him, and hes snoring.....

I feel so loved.

Melica Frost said...

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

Derek ZZZZZZZ

Melica Frost said...

its like the titanic wobbling and then not sinking MEH.

Calidae Dark said...

Such a build up. For nothing.

Melica Frost said...

my brain is hyperactive now all thanks to derek and now it will be hard for me to get to sleep

Star Inkbright said...

. . . Maybe he was intending to stay up to delete the post but he, like, fell asleep.

Whilst watching a movie.

No, whilst eating his dinner. Head in the spagetti bolognaise, yeah.

NOOOOOO whilst at his computer! *laughs* KEYBOARD FACE!

I miss Lynxia.

Calidae Dark said...

Thats what I said!!!!

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

He so is doing this on purpose

NOT FUNNY LANDY!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

:(

And Cali said it first. Bad Cali. :P

Calidae Dark said...

Hey, has anyone heard from Adra recently?

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Where's this stuff Derek said?

Calidae Dark said...

He's probably watching these comments, laughing his head off....

Calidae Dark said...

Fawkes - what do you mean?

Star Inkbright said...

Lynxia's laptop broke so she doesn't come on much anymore . . .

But she and me once had a great laugh about keyboard faces at Nix's expense. *grins*

. . . I miss Lynxia . . .

Melica Frost said...

well if he is then I think we should hunt him down because this much emotion inside of me is worst than any nightmare I have ever had and its just NOT COOL MAN.

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

God damned mother freaker

Calidae Dark said...

:(

Me too.
But I thought she just didnt come on much.... I didnt know there was a REASON.

Calidae Dark said...

I feel cheated, Derek. CHEATED!

Melica Frost said...

this isnt cool at all because I need to be at a church hall in 9 and a half hours bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to play jolly christmas songs on guitar and then THIS HAPPENS.

Calidae Dark said...

...you have a tail??

Star Inkbright said...

HI FLAME! *tacklehugs*

HE PROBABLY DIDN'T FALL ASLEEP, HE'S PROBABLY LAUGHING HIS HEAD OFF. AND THEN HIS HEAD US GOING BOUNCING ACROSD THE ROOM. THEN IT BOUNCES INTO THE SPAG BOL. SO HE STILL GETS DINNER ON HIS FACE. *nods*

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

STOP MESSING JUST TAKE IT DOWN OR SOMETHING LANDY STOP BEING A RIGHT BASTARD

Melica Frost said...

y'know its an expression but NOT COOL. I RARELY GO TO CHURCH AND THE ONE TIME I DO I CANT GET TO SLEEP BECAUSE OF AN IRISHMAN.

Star Inkbright said...

*vaguely wondere if we'll go to church tomorrow* Maybe not. Coz we'll go twice later on this week, for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

2 days 'till Christmas :D

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*pokes post to see if it's really still there* *frowns when it is*

Melica Frost said...

Calidae Dark said...

Yes, Val. We feel cheated, annoyed and confused.

Melica Frost said...

Calidae Dark said...

Flame Phoenix (Fawkes)~roleplaying said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

*looks at the clock* *facepalm*

Calidae Dark said...

NOM Ominous said...

Wow. We are an indecisive bunch aren't we??

Drew O'Connor said...

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

THATS IT!!!!

*explodes Ireland*

Eve the ROCK said...

I, have also been proposed to recently. It was a proposal to have an electronic panda assassinated. I politely declined, but luckily I got the man's business card.

Calidae Dark said...

Good plan Em. I'll stop being annoyed that all the build up was for NOTHING.

Moving on.

ZAF!!! AAARGH!!! YOU EXPLODED IRELAND! I WILL KILL YOU!!!! * leaps onto Zaf and punches with bananas *

Calidae Dark said...

Calidae Dark said...

Though, it is a teeny tiny bit unlikely. It is sort of MIDNIGHT and stuff.

NOM Ominous said...

We all thought this post was going to poof, too, didn't we?

NOM Ominous said...

Maybe Derek had pity.

Eve the ROCK said...

Phoebe. You know my name.

HOW.

Oh that's right! You knew me before I left the blog and destroyed all evidence that I was here... :D

Eve the ROCK said...

Wow. This is exactly what happened with the end of the world.

Omigodomigod it's going to happen sooooon!!!!

Calidae Dark said...

Ow. I feel an INCREDIBLE urge to swear right now.

I just hit my shin and took a chunk out of my toe on these rough stone steps outside.

OWWWW.

Calidae Dark said...

This page was deded to you and Em even :P

Calidae Dark said...

OH! first. wasnt expecting that.

Calidae Dark said...

Well, in that case, I ded this shouldn't-even-be-here page TO...
Derek's head in a plate of Spaghetti, purple bananas, and Em & Chase :)

You've stuck by Em through tough times Chase, and I was about to re-write roughly the same ded as the LAST page, but thought better of it.

Anyway, congrats.

Oh, and I ded to IRELAND NOT GETTING EXPLODED.

NOM Ominous said...

that... is an ironic first post.

Calidae Dark said...

Yes. I wasnt expecting it.

Calidae Dark said...

And then I kinda had to re-ded THIS page to them again, just cause of that....

Calidae Dark said...

AAARGH! XMAS IS 2 DAYS AWAY and I STILL need to to some frantic last minute presents.

Calidae Dark said...
