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?

Finally! An injury!

I think that she's trying to go overseas right now. (She persuaded the pilot to let her on without a ticket.)

Don't worry. If the plane crashes, you could probably catch up with her.

Nixion Strange said...

(Pssst, Kes, you're kinda god moding)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

(and I think the plane will crash, seeing as how the pilot can't take his eyes off her. And you're probably not supposed to be that distracted while flying a PLANE.)

Except for the fact that I'm now Administrator of the American Sanctuaries.

Doesn't Sult have that job?

Nix, I am? Sorry.I don't mean to....

But I have a broken leg and the only reason things keep missing me is because I keep collapsing.

Yeah, but I wrote that I broke your leg... If I didn't, I doubt anything else would happen to you

Nix, a everything to know about Phyics?

Gotta love overpowered characters.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Kestrel, it is so confusing to me when you call September Ember, on account of the fact that my dad's girlfriend Ember is in the other room. You keep almost giving me a heart attack.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

I'm laughing my head off thanks to Valkyrie's comment.

Nixion Strange said...

No Death

I'm bored, sorry if it hurts... No, not really... If it hurts, too bad...

Silver the tub of vanilla is still falling. It's hard to control upside down!

Nix, it was my fault that I fell out of the tree though.

But, seeing as we're in the middle of a forest fire-

Well, it's out now...

The Necklace of Truth is kinda a funny story... I stole it from the Sanctuary, Skulduggery and Val stole it from me and I stole it back. As the name suggests, you can only tell the truth about any question that is asked, and an answer must be given

It appears that Skulduggery has left me here, because he thought my sulking would ruin his car by giving it a general air of grumpiness he could breathe in and make himself grumpy, and then went I pointed out that he can't actually breathe he drove away, so...

Lovely.

I CLAIM THE RIGHT TO USE THAT PHRASE WHILE SPARKY IS ABSENT!

I mean, used it while she was here anyway, but iusynomslienegsi.
