The End Is Nigh

How are we all?

Are we all nervous? Terrified, even? Are we all dreading December 21st, the last day on Earth as predicted by the Mayans? Although, as Jon Stewart pointed out on The Daily Show, the Mayans haven't exactly got the best track record as far as predicting the end of civilisations go... to wit, the Mayans...

But I digress.

So how will you be spending the last day on Earth? Will you be surrounded by loved ones? Will you be sobbing into a tub of ice cream? Will you, in fact, forget all about the end of the world because you still haven't got your Christmas shopping done?

Or will you be reading a very special end-of-the-world short story as posted on this very Blog- a short story that will ONLY be available on the 21st and 22nd before being taken down-  in which Skulduggery and Valkyrie track down the cause of the world's destruction and do their very best to avert it? A short story called "The Button"?

Hmm? Is THAT what you'll be doing?

Unknown said...

I'm so excited for The Button (That's what it's called, right? I can't remember)

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

Its called The Button, I firsee it now

And then Skulduggery pressed the button, not realising the world would end. Thirty seconds later there was an explosion and then, blackness.

Star Inkbright said...

OMGG I just noticed these pinky blotches on my arm, irl this is, and they're, like, bitemark shaped. O_O

Star Inkbright said...

*scowls at arm* STOP FREAKING ME OUT.

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

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

*laughs running in triangles*

Oooh!!! On Saturday my parents let me play with a sharp object called a saw!

Star Inkbright said...

^^^That's the last page of the post Blogger Bah. Fun days . . .

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

That was on my birthday last year!

Star Inkbright said...

REALLY? Cool. :)

*smiles at old comments* The blog was all so new and exciting then. I remember how I felt about it. I regard it in such a different way now.

*sighs and closes down window*

I was also stupid when I first came on. I wasn't one of them people who you think, "Ooh, new minion, they're nice." I was more like, "Oh, I stop you go away soon, you're annoying. :P

Well, Past Me annoys me now. I find the things about me that are stupid annoying when found in other people, because I know exactly how they feel and the stupidity makes me feel all awkward.

But yeah. :)

*sighs and reluctantly closes down Blogger Bah window*

Star Inkbright said...

*hope

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

I remember coming on a lot. I didnt know many people plus I was actually petrified of Derek. Then when you actually Blogspeak with him he isnt mean, he's so sweet! Just has one hell of an ego.

Then I met the crazies and I deckared being a Necromancer, im cuddly arent I?

Star Inkbright said...

YUSSSSSSS. *huggles Zaf*

Whoa. A twin! Do you want me to put them in a pie?

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

No I'd like to put Derek in one!

NOM Ominous said...

Yum. A Derek pie. Good for throwing. When you eat it I wonder how much wiser you get.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

You probably get a bigger ego...



Excuse me, but why are we discussing eating Master Derek? This can't be good for us.

NOM Ominous said...

As in healthy, Val V?

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I don't know. That was a while ago I said that, and I forgot the meaning of it. I have too much stuff in my head right now about my story, because I'm writing it, so...

*tries to think of more ways to make Ivy attack the giant troll*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Melee, a machete or a baseball bat (or something like a baseball bat).

Long range, a pistol or an assault riffle.

By the way, if it helps to make her character easier, when she gets frustrated she sulks. And she's a real pessimist. Not sure if that affects the chapter, but writing my thing has made me notice it more.

I dedicate this page to the 2012 Down-Under Tour Editions of Skulduggery Pleasant for being epic (except the one where Valkyrie has blue eyes, that is right...) and for being so cheap at my book store!
I also dedicate this to old friends (Nix, Zath, that's you!) for being so awesome!
I have a few more: Christmas for being wierd, Jeans for being comfy, mum for letting me on (I love you mummy!!!!) and Eden!
Eden, I know that you will be on soon! Good luck with your final exams!!! *hug* I miss you! Come on soon!!!!!
