Progress

50267 words written... and Valkyrie and Skulduggery are barely in it.

This doesn't mean, of course, that they won't be taking their usual starring roles in Book 8. Of course they will. But I've had to approach this one in a slightly different way than normal.

Because this book is about, essentially, total war, I've had to think long and hard about how the different sides would fight— such as what tactics they would use in both the short and long term. It means I can't chop and change sequences like I usually would. If they're written, then they've been written for a very specific reason, and I can't mess about with that. So I figured the best way to write about these military actions is to write them FIRST. Write the skirmishes and the battles and the politics and the arguments, and get it all down on the page. Then, once I have the military aspect taken care of, I go back and write my usual Skul & Val stuff around and on top of it all.

It's an interesting way of working, to willingly ignore your main characters for large chunks of writing time. I sincerely hope it works...

Oh, and sometime in February I shall announce the title. I've had this title in mind for YEARS. Some of the early alternatives were:

Skulduggery Pleasant: The Billingsworth Continuum.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Behind Gold Eyes.

Skulduggery Pleasant: It's War, Baby.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Revenge of the Screaminator.

Skulduggery Pleasant: When Warlocks Attack.

Skulduggery Pleasant: A Very Nice Picnic.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Brain-Puncher.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Gut-Eater.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery Goes Camping.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Things Get Nasty.

Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna Die.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Readers Gonna Cry.

Skulduggery Pleasant: Horace.


And amazingly, the actual title is better than ANY of those! I know, right?

I probably wouldn't say anything, or give a poor half-explanation that doesn't explain much, but that's just me. :/ Don't do thatness.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I've always wondered why I like One Direction. I mean, I hadn't liked them before last summer. I respected them, but wasn't a Directioner. The thing that changed me was 'The Adventurous Adventures of One Direction'. I laugh when I think of that because it kinda takes the mick out of them. I looked up the lads and the rest is history. I mean, I didn't even know their names and now I know what they'd usually order from their favourite resturant. It's really strange. I love them, for God's sake! It's such a change from not even knowing their names! But they have changed my life, just by being themselves. It's amazing what a song can do to someone. They're just 5 young lads doing what they love, and they've made me feel worth something.

That truely is fantastic.

That's why I think people should be Directioners. That's why I love them. That's why I'm a Directioner :)

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Hiya, I need somebody to post this for me... Thank you!

September Silver: Somebody Gets Left Behind

A/N: So this chapter is very strange, and very random, and it has the very off-putting Liberty Wit in here, but I hope you like it anyway.

"Butterfly! COME BACK HERE!" Mara cried as Ember prayed that this was all a bad dream. God, she should've just stayed with Mevolent. Now she was stuck with these three-year-olds.

"EMBER!" Mara yelled. "IT'S GETTING AWAY!"

Ember just gave her a withering look. "Mara, you need to get back here. I can heal Star, and then we can all move on."

Mara kept running after the butterfly. She was getting further and further away, so Ember shouted, "MARA!"

Eventually, she had to start running after Mara. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CATCH THE BUTTERFLY!" she said. "BELIEVE ME, I TRIED IT BEFORE! YOU HAVE TO KILL IT FIRST!"

She thought about killing the butterfly, but the problem was that it was too far away for her powers to reach it. She decided to just keep running after Mara, because really, what was the worst that could happen?

I mean, they could accidentaly end up at Mevolent's base.

Which was what happened.

"Oh my god," Ember said, and stopped running to look at the golden pocketwatch that she'd hung around her neck. "We've been running for an hour. And we're at Mevolent's base.."

Mara stopped running as well. "Oh no!" she wept. "What if they have spoons?"

Ember sucked the butterfly's soul and frowned. "Wait," she said. "I can sense somebody here. Do you think there's somebody behind--"

And then she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head, and she blacked out.

-----

She woke up tied to a chair in a dreary-looking room made out of stone.

"Maralie had better not be with me," she said aloud, and then she heard a (truthfully pretty good) rendition of Live While We're Young. She groaned, and that's when Abla Hazardous walked in carrying a crowbar.

"What makes you think that you can just attempt to infiltrate us like that?" she asked, and then she whacked Ember with the crowbar. Ember healed it instantly and stuck her tongue out.

Abla kicked her chair to the floor and pressed a symbol on the wall. Ember felt her powers dim, and she cursed.

"Run, Mara!" she yelled, before realising that Mara was gone. She frowned, and then realised that Mara must've left before her powers were dimmed. She had better come back soon, she thought.

Meanwhile, Mara was sulking outside the room. She was tied to a chair too, so she used the heat from her light power to burn through the rope. She bit her lip and started to pace the floor.

"What would One Direction do at a time like this?" she wondered, and then she grinned and burst into song.

"CAUSE I SEE YOU WITH HIM., SLOW DANCING, TEARING ME APART…. SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE NOW, CAUSE I'M DYING JUST TO MAKE YOU SEE….. THAT I NEVER LISTEN, LISTEN, TELL ME A LIE…"

Adra immediately ran out of the room. "Seriously!" she yelled. "What the hell is that?"

Mara paused, and then she screamed. "I'LL MAKE YOU DIE WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG!"

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...


She grabbed Adra, kicked her, and stunned her by her light, then untied Ember. "Thank you," Ember smiled. "Now that we're here, should we go on a little walk? I get hungry occasionally, and a butterfly's not much."

Mara shrugged, so they walked around.

"You know," Ember said, "We could set the prisoners free."

"Good idea!"

"And then we could kill them!"

Mara gave a her a weird look. "Or we could just set them free and let them go do whatever they want to do."

"Yeah, all right. But you have to let me kill ONE of them."

They kept walking, and then they reached a wall.

"I can feel them behind here," Ember said. "There's some kind of spell here, and we can't walk through."

"Yes, but I can!" Liberty grinned from behind them, floating upside down in the air.

Ember turned around and sighed. "You know, if you could let us through, that would be very nice of you."

"And if I refuse?"

"Then I'll kill you."

Liberty groaned. "You always use that threat. Can't you use another one? I dunno, how about IF YOU DON'T DO THIS AND THAT I'LL FILL YOUR ROOM WITH DIRTY SOCKS?"

"You don't have a room."

"See, that's why those kinds of punishments would work better for me."

"Liberty. Please, be serious. I've had enough hooligans for one day."

"All right, fine," she grumbled. "But you owe me."

She thrust her hand into the wall, moved her fingers around, and suddenly the wall lifted.

"You have about ten minutes before it goes back down," she said. "Go on and do whatever. Could you frame it on somebody for me?"

"Will do," Ember smiled. "I need you to help me unlock the cells too."

Liberty shrugged, and then she slashed through all the bars. The prisoners who hadn't been tortured started running around like headless chickens, while the more injured bunch lay on the floor and got trampled.

"Please. I swear to god, can you do things the conventional way just once?" Ember groaned.

"Whee!" Mara laughed. "It's like a really big rave!"

Ember worked on healing the mages who were too unfit to move, and then she ran with them.

"If someone tries to fight you," she said to Mara, "Make sure you defend yourself properly. If someone tries to fight me, leave it. Take care of yourself. I'll be fine. Hopefully."

"Yeah, good luck with that," Liberty said from among the chaos.

And then Mevolent appeared.

"Yo, Mev!" Liberty smiled.

"The way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed!" Mara sang.

Everyone else panicked and ran from the room.

Hundreds of Mevolent's followers immediately came after them, so Ember grabbed Mara and tugged her through the crowd.

"Come on!" she yelled. "Run!"

Serpine appeared out of nowhere and covered her eyes with his red right hand. She screamed and lashed out, but he didn't falter. Mara shone light from her hands and paralysed him, then grabbed Ember and pulled her along.

"You know what?" Ember said. "You're pretty useful to have around. And one more thing--why didn't we just teleport?"

Mara paused and let go. "I dunno." And then she teleported.

Problem was that she left Ember behind.

"MARA!" she yelled, and then for the second time that day she was enveloped by darkness as Mevolent knocked her to the ground with his fist.

*deep breath*

Sorry for the random rant. It's just...

I just listened to Little Things. The words, especially. And, the boys of One Direction saying that I'm beautiful... Even though it isn't to me. It feels like they're singing to me, and I feel so...

Alright, then.

I feel so beautiful.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Mara, hope you like the chappie!

WHY ARE THESE OLD SAYINGS ALL TURNING OUT TO BE CORRECT???????????????????????????????

Star Inkbright said...

Aw, you both make me laugh. You're not THAT different. *mutters*

Luciana said...

Complimenting people doesn't make me feel good...

Speaking the truth to someone drowned by lies, however, does.

Star Inkbright said...

SINCERE complimenting makes me feel good. Telling people you like their shoes or whatever, simply coz they're new and you should say it, is meh.

Ah, my mum says in Holland they're a lot more truthful about that kind of thing, and that after she got her hair cut her Dutch friend said to her, "Oh, you got your hair cut! I liked it better before." *laughs*

I think I'd like that honester way of society better. How are you meant to do anything right if people don't tell you when you're doing things wrong? You never know. :/

Anonymous said...

It's kinda amusing...

Star Inkbright said...

The indulgence of our lives
Has cast a shadow on this world
Our devotion to our appitites
Betrayed us all
An apocalyptic plight
More destruction will unfold
Mother Earth shall show her darker side
And take her toll

It's just another way to die!

There can be no other reason why
You know, we should have seen it coming
Consequences we cannot deny
Will be revea;ed in time
Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky
A sign of devastation coming
We don't need another wat to die
Can we repent in time?

The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still
We ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetites
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die
Oooh, can we repent in time?

Greed and hunger lead to our demise
A path I can't believe we followed
Black agendas rooted in a lie
Will we repent in time?
Species fall before our very eyes
A world that they cannot survive in
Left them with another way to die
Are we dead inside?

The time bomb is ticking
And no one is listening
Our future is fading
Is there any hope we'll survive?

Still
We ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetites
Left us with another way to die
It's just another way to die!

*instrumental*

Still
We ravage the world that we love
And the millions cry out to be saved
Our endless maniacal appetites

Oooh, can we repent in time?

I went mushroom-picking once. I was approximately 9. It was a family tradition of one of dad's friends. So Dad and Phil were laughing about old times in the front seat, while I was stuck in the middle seat between Phil's two teenage daughters, who were texting in the car.

Then we saw that there were going to be condos where the woods had been. Then we went into the woods while they were still there and picked mushrooms. Then we went over to Phil's house and fried them.

My brother used to adore mushrooms . . .

*laughs* Once years ago my and my sister, in my bro and sis's room, told him we had hundreds of mushrooms and wouldn't let him in the room. :)

He went made trying to push the door open. :P

Then he saw there were no mushrooms and was all disappointed and went off.

So me and my sister went downstairs and got some real live mushrooms in a bowl, shut ourselves in my bro and sis's room, and called to him that we had mushrooms in hre and he had to come in and get them.

And he didn't believe us.

And we showed him we actually did have mushrooms and he was like oh.

You kinda had to be there . . .

They now have separate rooms, btw . . .

Well, if you read my blogpost I made last night- *coughyoushouldlookatitcough* It's still snowing! I think. Last time I checked.

Anyway... I think that's it... Sorry- I actually have a lot more to say, but if I said it all, I wouldn't be getting anywhere so I'll leave you with that for now! Bye!

Good evening, bloglandians.

Hi Sir!!

I dedicate this page to performances. I'm sure Jubi and Sev's LWW was AWESOME, and Shai and I had a lot of fun with our dance recitals. I also include any recitals all you other minions may be doing.

Also to choruses of skeletons singing "Hi ho hi ho it's off to death we go." B-J, I think you've officially gotten that image stuck in my head.

To all the wonderful Aussiminions/other minions on at that time that I keep staying up late to talk to. You ROCK!

To Death and Star. You gave Eff her Star Wars obsession. Both of you.

To Lav and her new channel/blog! It's fun to read!

To Ari and her awesome/awful MC chapters which I love/hate.

To FabiTC's friends, including but not limited to MaraTC, DeathTC, EmberTC, Eff, StarTC and ArehaTC.
Also to the real people behind all those characters (excluding Eff). You all ROCK!

To the MC, 1D (in honor of Maralie Charm), Disturbed (in honor of Star), Hayley Westenra (in honor of myself), Mycroft and his umbrella and [insert your name here]

Ugh Superbowl *gags* that commercial

Willow Von Stratton said...

hello, anyone on?

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

Zaf

Willow Von Stratton said...

hello Zaf

Lavender Hope said...

Meep. Distant.

Lavender Hope said...

Yay! Thanks, Fabi!

My blog thingy is fun! *gets an idea*

Willow Von Stratton said...

You have an active imagination Hope! which is good

Lavender Hope said...

Yes, yes it is.

:P Although, it might be a bit TOO active...
*laughs*
I get soooo many ideas. Speaking of which, I got another one. XP I WANT TO MAKE A BLOG JUST FOR MY POEMS. But... I've had that idea for a while... Haven't decided if I want to or not yet.

Sorry, I'm multitasking which is really hard for me(doing four things at once on two different devices...) why I'm distant.

Lavender Hope said...

*is sort of on Skype...*
You guys talk a lot...
*sees Zaf and Val online*

Willow Von Stratton said...

that's fine, and you should make one! Then I'd totally read all the poems!

Lavender Hope said...

Yeah, and just a few minutes ago, I thought up the blog title.

Hope, Faith, Inspire

Although, if I did make a blog, it would also have my depressing ones too, so that title might not be the best...

But some of my poems are cheesy cause they rhyme, but there's this one thing I wrote that just had words. It has a poetic vibe to it that I think would count as a poem.
(Four things at once has turned to two...) That's the limit of me multitasking. XP

Willow Von Stratton said...

Well you'll think of a title, and even your depressing ones should be posted up

i'm pretty good at multitasking :p

Lavender Hope said...

I'm still thinking if I /should/ make one though... I have so many blogs already. :P

I'm so bad at multitasking. xP But I'm attempting to do three things now...

Lavender Hope said...

I might have to go soon...

Lavender Hope said...

But I'm still here until I say.

Lavender Hope said...

Never mind. I gotta go now. Bye!

Yup, everone goes through that, I did, and it was actually pretty hard for me, but now I know who I am, and I accept me for me.

You'll find yourself eventually and hopefully you'll be confident in it ^^

Anonymous said...

It's not me that's confident, it's the person I pretend to be.

That's the whole reason I pretend to be her in the first place. Also, she's a lot nicer than the other me.

Lights out in the Super Bowl

Anonymous said...

The super bowl? I'd forgotten about that!

Strange that my dad isn't watching it.

[The bit about lights out sinks in]

Oh, the power went out? That's...odd. I suspect foul play. [nods] This is why I'm not a detective.

Willow Von Stratton said...

You can be confident! the cd that currently plays is playing the tune that ur not confident, and maybe other negative aspects, so try to the change CD in your head to a confident more positive outlook. If it fails then ballroom dance! Haha it actually does boost your confidence.

My dad says that a fan of the losing team cut the power.

My cd player's been broken for years, thanks all the same.

I have no idea whether or not your dad is right.

Contrary to the belief of some very unintelligent classmates, I'm not psychic.

You'll find yourself eventually Fabi ^^
