LSODM is over 133,000 words right now and I promised my editor I'd have a reasonably finished first draft to him by the end of the week. That means no Twitter and no blogging, and very little internet presence at all. Even a half hour of writing a blog is a half hour of NOT writing the book, and I can't afford to do that right now. When the book is done, when it's finally done, business as usual will be resumed. Until then, this temporary silence continues.
And here's a fantastic picture for nerds.

You know what, screw this! This duel is just gonna go on for ages, and then you'll shadow walk away or something! *snaps a phylaxtrite, appears behind Ghastly*
Oh hey Ghastly!
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs* Bye, Fabigail!:(
I don't know, Adra.. Probably...
I mean, what if something happened?
Mhm. Idk.
#ChaseForBook9
Ghastly! You know what he has done! Please, you have to believe me! Let me go find him and I will show you
ghastly: unless you have a senior agent of the irish sanctuary like skulduggery to witness, then you will have to wait. trip, what are you doing?
Ieni - Yeah, I remember once by mistake Louis gave out Matt Cardle's number.. *laughs*
And Matt had just won the X Factor, so :P
I heard about that, yeah.. Poor Harry.
#ChaseForBook9
I don't have time for this. *begins to knock people out with pressure points and hitting them*
I'm here to tell you Nye broke the terms of his amnesty, and should be arrested immediately. And for god's sake, release Adra!
#ChaseForBook9
ghastly: dont make me hurt you *skulduggery appears followed by ravel and valkyrie*
*grins* thanks hun! *waves, before sweeping someone's legs out from under them*
Are you even-
*sighs*
Nye.
That's all I'm saying
ravel: attack on the sanctuary adra, means war on the american sanctuary
ALL RIGHT THAT'S IT! *energy walls appear between everyone in the room* No more fighting, until we're done talking!
#ChaseForBook9
*nye walks in followed by a guard* nye: what do you mean
As supreme council spotter, tasked with keeping any Ireland-everyone war away, I'm making everyone talk this out peacefully.
#ChaseForBook9
*growls* Our friend will die! You can not just let this pass!
*energy chains appear, chaining Nye up* You're under arrest, bitch.
#ChaseForBook9
nye: by the time you return he will die
ghastly: nye what did you do?
ravel: you are under arrest and are to save there friend
That's better. And no more war?
#ChaseForBook9
*stands in front of Nye, giving him a steady glare* Where's Edward?
ghastly: trip, you do not question an elder, and the war is off. im sorry but there is not time to save your friend unless he is brought here now
No more nightmare... But still scared as hell...
I will question who I want when I want thank you very much. As it is in fact my job, I think I have every right to do so. *energy walls drop, but chains remain*
Adra dear? Would you mind portalling and getting Edward?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Death!
Is that good? I remember before you weren't getting scared...
#ChaseForBook9
*sits in tree*
#ChaseForBook9
ravel: i am the grand mage and ghastly is an elder. you NEVER question us. whether it is your job or not
hello death
Hello Rose
*goes to retrieve Edward*
Listen Ravel. I OUTRANK you. I question everyone and anyone. I question who I want, when I want.
#ChaseForBook9
ravel: i am the grand mage of ireland. no one outranks me. take him to the cells *guards take trip to cells*
*smashes gaurd in the chest with elbow, lifts self into a bubble* Unless you've gone quite mad Ravel, I think you'll remember that the Irish sanctuary DOESN'T CONTROL THE WORLD! So, I could arrest you for an act of aggression, or you can see sense.
#ChaseForBook9
It's very good because I had a dream last night that my little brother died!!!
Wbd
Oh okay Death. Whatever makes you happy. Apart from mindless slaughter. And genocide, racism, homophobia, sexism and other such things. If they make you happy then... That's just creepy.
#ChaseForBook9
*ghastly punches through energy*
ravel: you attacked a grand mage in his own sanctuary. i will save your friend but you have commited a crime and as such you are under arrest. skulduggery, take him away
*skulduggery walks up to trip*
Boys, please. Nye- *Points the sword at him* fix Edward.
nye: he has about half a minute to live *begins to repair edward*
*energy slams everyone in the room against the wall* Right up until that point, I had in no way attacked you! As of now, Grand Mage Ravel, you are under arrest for furthuring the likelihood of a second magical war, elder Bespoke, you are under arrest on the same charges, and everyone in this room, is under arrest, upon the same charges!
#ChaseForBook9
*is enraged*
#ChaseForBook9
*all mages in the sanctuary appear and restrain trip*
You're all the same.
Idiots, every one of you.
Yes, you. You're no better than them.
Drop a name, drop a title, arrest someone just because you can.
[Mutters about jerks]
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, all in contact with each other. That will be your undoing. *electric energy pulses out of Trip, knocking at everyone restraining him* You're all under arrest I'm afraid. Every last one of ya.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh dear...
*wakes up* nye?
Trip, listen. Most of then are just doing their jobs.
Hey Fabi.
Well, I disagree, I have a job to do, and Ravel is being wildly irresponsible in his, showing an open willingness to go to war.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, the nazis were just doing their jobs, it's not a valid excuse.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits next to Ed* how are you functioning? *pokes the space between his eyes*
grand mage, return to the ice fortress and let us speak. trip stay here and try and not get arrested. adra, please open a portal for me.
But this isn't genocide, Trip.
*pokes adr back* ow
Um, no thanks, Ed. I'm don't answer to you. Or anyone.
It's still not a valid excuse.
Also, Ravel is under arrest, he's hardly in his right mind either. I'm tempted to relieve him of duty.
#ChaseForBook9
Well I disaggree with you. You're stirring up more trouble, and in all honesty, I will be very very surprised if you don't create a war very much like you're trying to prevent. Positions of authority don't protect one from rules, that is as you implied, true. Irresponsibility isn't illegal, though. If it were, you'd be in jail several times over.
#ChaseForBook9
please open a portal adra, to stop war *collpses slightly* i would open one myself but im too weak
And I have, for once, followed the rules to a tee Fabi. Until I was arresting Ravel, I committed no acts of violence or aggression.
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes head in quickly*
*hugs Death* Good to hear, that. :)
*glances around, not entirely sure why she reappeared*
Uh. *looks for reasons/excuses* :P
Hm. Trip - did I ever mention how awesome I think your picture is? I tend to forget what it is, when I see it, and then zoom in, and and grin because of epicness and the like. :P
...
HAPPY BLOGVERSARY, AGAIN, MARA! :)
*nods*
*hugs everybody*
*sneaks away like nobody saw her appear*
#ChaseForBook9
How could this stop a war? We just need Nye to fix Edward! At this point I hardly care who did what!
Thanks Taia! Also, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
*whispers* Bye Taiasssss
Trip, international organizations are precarious enough as it is. You're going to end up making yours fall unless you have the ability to seriously change the way society works.
All those villains try to take over the world... Right now, I don't know what makes you any better. ((In RP only)$
#ChaseForBook9
*Walks up to Sanctuary Officails with a raised eyebrow* Please let Nye do his thing. Or, I will kill you all! *Laughs sweetly*
Rose.. *buries her head in her hands* Lord.
[hugs Death]
Hi/bye Taia.
#ChaseForBook9
nye just fixed me everyone. now i will ask that we all leave the sanctuary and ravel and all of us just forget about all this
Sorry Addy!! I'm in a murderous mood!! *Laughs again* Some may say that Deathy ain't in her right mind, that her left mind killed her right...
Nye. Fix him or I will kill you too...
That would be preferred, Ed
You know what? Whatever! Ravel, continue on this wild path you're going on, but know, it can only lead to war. And we all now that none of us want a war. I still don't think you're in your right mind, but still.
Nye, you're coming with me, or at least need to be incarcerated bye the Irish.
#ChaseForBook9
Can I kill a few people first?!
No, I mean...
Okay never mind.
*limps to an open space, drawing open a portal*
thank you, trip are you coming?
ravel: i did not want war, now go
*falls through the portal*
You do not want war, but the way you've started treating outsiders... You're going to get one. You have to listen to people before you declare war on them. /I/ could be ruling better than you.
#ChaseForBook9
He threatened war, but he made no announcements, signed no documents.
The things a person will say aren't the same as the things they will do. I agree that it was a pretty stupid threat, actually, but I feel like the situation has been greatly exaggerated.
#ChaseForBook9
[Sighs]
Go ahead and mess everything up, I don't care anymore!
Idiots...
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
Count the days Ravel, count the hours. Soon, you will have a war. Treasure these moment of peace while they last... because you suck at grand mageship. *walks through portal*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabi!
#ChaseForBook9
somebody explain why a war nearly started and why i have been cut open and sewn up
You've got that right, Fabi. *waves*
So... Where are we?
Because Ravel, my once rational ally, has become a completely different person!
#ChaseForBook9
we are in the ice fortress throne room
Oh okay.
*sits on the floor, stretching her wounded leg out across the cold floor* *sighs in relief* Heaven
*sits on throne and crown appears on head* there will be no war today
Yeah no duh, Sherlock...
It was so weird, he never used to be like that, I mean, normally, he wouldn't trust Nye for a second, and the moment anyone mentioned his name he would be listening out for a crime.
#ChaseForBook9
just saying. i would rather not have nye arrested either
Mama told me not to waste my life, she said spread your wings, my little butterfly... *sings*
#ChaseForBook9
Leaving...
*Sprints down hallways and leaps through a window* *Sprints away into shadows*
Sorry... Shouldn't have came... Shouldn't have clicked 'Publish'... Shouldn't have even found this sight...
Why? He broke his amnesty!
#ChaseForBook9
because when nye leaves the sanctuary again i will hunt him down
I know, Trip. *frowns* I dated him for a while, once upon a time. He was paranoid back then... Hmm.
*claps for Mars* Beautiful.
Now there Death, even though you're leaving, we've all become better people for meeting you. All those things you did were favours.
#ChaseForBook9
DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ON ME
#ChaseForBook9
It's true, what Trip has said.
*frowns* I don't know what go say, so..
Oh yeah, Edward. You and me both...
*leans back on the floor, staring at the ceiling*
*Sighs heavily* You have amazing timing, Miss Tesla.
Uh. This war is inevitable. I just hope I don't have to fight in it.
#ChaseForBook9
Going to school... Might be back later...
Bye Death! See you soon!
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Goodbye, Rose.
*pulls some leaves from her bag, chewing thoughtfully on them*
bye death
*nods to self* You know, it seems like I really do... I have no idea how I'm managing that... Anyway, don't you dare leave on me! Maybe everybody else is out of words, but I'm not, and I'm never letting you go.
#ChaseForBook9
*penguin runs forward and speaks into edwards ear* apparently the grand mage has just arrived at the irish sanctuary. they have directed him here *knock on the door*
Alright, Death. Go to school. BUT YOU ARE NOT OFF THE HOOK DO YOU HEAR ME? I AM NOT LETTING YOU LEAVE.
Trip, try to be a little more stubborn than that for me, yeah? Your job is to avoid war, isn't it? "This war is inevitable" is really not the attitude to have for someone in your position.
#ChaseForBook9
Death! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Ed, can someone get me an icicle or something to put on my leg?
sure *creates icicle and hands to adra* penguin, open the door *penguin walks to main hall*
[tiptoes off into the shadows again]
Shouldn't be here...
#ChaseForBook9
No, don't you see Ari? Ever since day one, I knew I could never stop this war from happening. It /will/ happen, my /actual/ job is to prolong the inevitable as much as possible.
It's not even my real job, I sort of got drafted in. But the pay is good, so... meh!
#ChaseForBook9
*takes it, sliding it under her leg, her muscles spasming* Oh CHRIST that's cold
*looks at Adra* Are you implying that I can sing?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAno
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Fabi!
#ChaseForBook9
you are in the ice fortress, everything is twice as cold. even the ice *ravel and ghastly walk in*
Bye Fabi... *hugs*
OMG Mara :3
Yeah, thanks Edward. I couldn't tell... Actually, do you have a coat? Well- probably not. Nevermind
there is a room with a fireplace down that corridor if it is too cold.
I do. *takes off coat, puts it on Adra's shoulders*
#ChaseForBook9
*snuggles into the coat* Thanks. Actually- thanks for basically everything today.
Oh, it was nothing, really. Just an average days work really.
#ChaseForBook9
*ravel walks forward* may we speak?
of course.
I know. *reaches up, taking his hand and squeezing it* Imm just saying..
Ahem. Kind of having a moment, Ravel. Rude.
ravel, ghastly come with me. trip and adra, are you coming?
*kisses Adra*
...
#ChaseForBook9
*kisses him back, before turning to Edward* Yeah, of course
then come and dont wander off. this fortress is big and there are creatures long extinct somewhere. ravel, you at the back
Fabi! Don't you leave either! *grabs her arm and pulls her out of the shadows*
Well, I still say you should be more stubborn. I think war is never really inevitable, it's just astoundingly incredibly likely. There's always some way to prevent something, as long as it hasn't happened yet. And the war has not started. Therefore, it doesn't have to start. I'm not any sort of politician- I'm just an assassin, and I have my job because I'm good at following orders and I get things done. I don't make the big decisions, mostly just because I hate politics, and I think it's way too full of corruption and power hungry people who make promises they can't keep. Not to say every politician is like that, because if I thought they were I wouldn't work for the government at all, but anyways. I'm not one of the big decision people, but I know war is bloody and ugly and should always be avoided. I trust you know this, too. Be more persistent.
#ChaseForBook9
TAAADRAAAAAAA
#ChaseForBook9
*grins* Hi Aretha.
*follows Ed*
Well Ari, you haven't been working with all he facts. I say we have until the 26th until the first skirmishes, and we'll have an all out war by the 29th. This war is inevitable, I tried, but from the start I knew it was hopeless. I gave it my all, just in case, but by now, the war has essentially begun.
#ChaseForBook9
*opens door and allows everyone inside* take a seat and dont
try anything as your powers are bound in this room
*walks with Adra, hand in hand*
#ChaseForBook9
Me: Godammit...
Kitty: What?
Me: Aretha's being Aretha...
Kitty: Is that your Irish friend?
Me: Nope!
Kitty: You're UK-ian friend?
Me: No...
Kitty: You're American friend?
Me: My American sister...
Kitty: Oh! Her! The one who you say is epic... And "freaking amazing" and "too good to be true"?
Me: You know I'm writing this conversation down... Right?
Kitty: Nya! Say HIIIIII!!!!!!
Me: They kinda heard that...
*sits down in a chair* okay...
OMG Rose
That was just a normal conversation that I really shouldn't've been narrating...
ravel: i just heard you all broke into the sanctuary
yes but you were there
Hello Kitty! Nice to meet you. My name's Trip, and I'm the local bartender round these parts! *hands bottle of blogland 2023*
#ChaseForBook9
Ravel, I still owe you a kick in the face. *Kicks him in the face* Okay! Know we're even!!
ravel: ow, and no i was in london discussing matters with skulduggery
Kitty: Is it nice? *Eyes bottle*
*screams*
TADRA KISS
TADRA KISSSSSSSSSSSS
*screenshots it*
OMFG
#ChaseForBook9
*blinks* Right, so what's happening?
Jesus Mary and Joseph, Mara.
It's the best pick of the century Kitty!
#ChaseForBook9
hang on a minute, if we were all there and you and ghastly and skulduggery were in london then... nye
Ah, so evil Ravel was evil. Good that's cleared up. So let's go and kill some imposters.
#ChaseForBook9
Kitty: Is it alcohol?!
the ravel we met was created by nye.
ravel: ghastly alert all mages to leave the sanctuary
come on, lets go. adra a portal please
We ought not to kill ALL of them
Um... yeah. But! It's watered down kind of! It has a very low alcohol content! Safe for children!
#ChaseForBook9
On it. *limps to an empty space, opening a portal*
only nye and the imposters are left in the sanctuary. come on
Kitty: HOW OLD DO I LOOK?!
Death! *hugs* Who's Kitty? *pets kitty* And what did I do?
#ChaseForBook9
HIIII KITTY I'M MARA :)
#ChaseForBook9
Well right now you look like a bunch of flowers, so I have no idea. I'm guessing you're in your teens? 15, 16?
#ChaseForBook9
Heh heh... *grins at Adra*
Harry and I are actually down pretty low with the PDA aka kissing sort thing... *frowns*
Haha, suckers *sticks out tongue*
#ChaseForBook9
Heh. PDA. Heh.
nye: hello again
Liam likes PDA... *smirks*
THAT'S BECAUSE DANI AND HIM WERE SO IN LOVE... *trails off* *sad face* Payzer... :(
#ChaseForBook9
*aims finger pistol at Nye* The gig is up, Nye.
#ChaseForBook9
ARI!!! Kitty is screaming at me... She's human... She says hi... And that she's... I can't hear anymore.... And she's almost 15...
*Tackles Ari*
*sends lightning killing fake ravel and ghastly* nye, come to jail or die
*Hums Styx's Renegade*
*unsheathes her sword*
Uh... About the Requiem... Luna's gonna wear trackies...
*draws sword with spare hand, fills it with soul energy*
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Death tightly* I have to go but I love you a lot and you had better be here when I get back! I mean in Blogland, not that you have to be here that second... Ok, you know what I mean.
*stares for a moment, pensive* Fine. You won't hear any more dissent from me. Have your war, Trip. *bows head, then turns and leaves*
((Sorry these are all so late! Bye everyone!))
#ChaseforBook9
I'm going to pick out my Requiem dress now... And shoes. And a clutch. Ooh, and how my hair will be done... *ponders*
#ChaseForBook9
Oh... That's right... The Requiem Ball last year... *Sighs heavily*
Are you still counting the seconds...?
I might draw mine...
Bye Aretha!
got to go, bye
Bye ed!
Hey, I'm stopping the war! *sighs* Whatever. Bye Ari!
#ChaseForBook9
It'd be a while... I kinda wonder how long it's actually been... Must have been too long... The seconds must have turned to hours then to days, to weeks and then to months... I'll probably not be on for the Requiem too much... Last year... *Tries to continue but can't*
Um. I don't know what to dedicate to.
I dedicate to not knowing what to dedicate to.
Which now I know.
*raises glass* hear hear
*Raises Kitty's bottle and my thermos* Hear hear
Hello?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi.
*silence*
*lowers her sword* well then.
*sinks to the floor, stretching her leg out*
It appears time has frozen.
#ChaseForBook9
No... I was watching Popular Song with WarZone...
*facepalms* Did you just say time is frozen?
We're in an ice fortress
*Shakes head and rolls eyes*
Um.... Pun intended?
No pun intended. *hangs head*
#ChaseForBook9
POPULAR SONG IS THE BEST SONG EVER
Ariana Grande + MIKA = PERFECTIONNNN
#ChaseForBook9
All the guys (WarZone excluded) are getting needles...
WarZone: POPULAR SONG IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! i love that song, freaking awesome
*pats his shoulder* There there, darling.
What do you mean by getting needles?
#ChaseForBook9
*Sighs and looks through window* *Wanders out door*
