Some of you may have heard that a copy or two of LSODM have been sold, despite the embargo. This is, unfortunately, true.
Eight copies were mistakenly sent out ahead of schedule, to the big Forbidden Planet store in London. All eight were immediately sold. No one at Forbidden Planet is to blame, and no one who bought a copy is to blame.
I will only ask those who DID buy a copy to keep it to themselves. I'm asking them not to post spoilers and not to even HINT at anything that happens. I'm pretty confident nothing will leak, because you guys are all really good about this sort of thing, but I need to make sure.
And also, for those eight people out there who now own a copy... I hope you enjoy it.

#ChaseForBook9
*send regular pulses through the energy, slightly increasing the voltage each time until Em is unconscious*
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes Dragona*
*pulls Mara into a jig*
*Drew tries to focus his vision but it starts to blur. He can feel the shadows slid through his body*
Don't... hurt... don't hurt her...
*becomes unconscious*
*starts rebuilding his rifle, part by part*
GAAAH!
Drew!!! *shoves Em away, kneeling over Drew, her sword drawn and hissing*
*goes over to unconscious Drew* Don't worry, she's fine.
#ChaseForBook9
*Em becomes unconscious in the energy ties and shifts back to human form, unconscious*
*Her arms are black as well as all her chest*
Guys we could take her to the Sanctuary or I can try the healing sigil I used on Aretha and Niccolo
*gasps, clutching at her stomach, keeling over*
God...
*reaches for another syringe, bringing it to Em*
Hang... On, Zaf. I need to see
It's in the cupboard...
*injects Em in her neck with the syringe*
Okay well I can do it if you need me to just ask
Or we could use the energy from the anti-material rifle and put it into her blood and calibrate it to get rid of the black. She does not need healing, its a disease.
No Zaf. This is magic beyond any of our ability. It wouldn't work.
#ChaseForBook9
I gtg eat be back half hout
It might, we'll see Trip... *injects Em with a second syringe*
*stands up* Trip... There's more remedy and syringes...
Again Dragona, really doubt that'd work. Even if we get rid of the disease, the initial magic still exists.
#ChaseForBook9
*twerks silently next to the quiet people*
Then we need something immune to magic.
*Em starts having a fit as her body reacts to the injection*
Good idea, Dragona... But a disease has a cure. I at least found one for the Dragkin one...
*backs against the wall* Fuck
Don't you dare bring out the Aponchytnus Dragona. It's immune,but it can't help.
#ChaseForBook9
The magic will still exist but it should keep the disease at bay *takes the power source of his rifle, calibrates it to destroy the disease then unleashes it into Em's blood*
Adra, I know this is a bad time, but I've never exactly been very good at timing, so...
I just wanted to say I'm sorry, for going off like that. Really sorry, that hgoes to everyone else as well.
#ChaseForBook9
The thought never crossed my mind Trip. But tbh I'd prefer it if you weren't so rude.
You moron.
Why would you even do that?
#ChaseForBook9
*shoves Trip against the wall, kissing him*
*pulls back, hitting him* Quit being so mean to Dragona.
*slinks back to Emerald*
*Em's body stops fitting and she becomes still*
Sorry. When I rp, I get very in touch with my character's emotions and, well, sometimes when I'm talking normally it sort of seeps in.
#ChaseForBook9
The girl was lying about telling 1D about me.
She said she was only joking and just gave them a hug and said she loved them. That was all.
...
Why am I trying to kid myself that they'd actually want to know me anyway? I'm nothing to them. I'm not a pretty Directioner, or a skinny Directioner, or a funny Directioner. I'm just me.
#ChaseForBook9
Now that the disease is under control we can attempt to destroy the magic.
Um...
*picks up Em, slightly dazed*
#ChaseForBook9
I think I should excuse myself for leaving so abruptly... I'm doing art and painting so... I'm not here that often...
*hugs Mara* I'm sorry... That was mean of her. Did she do it to hurt you?
*hugs tightly* They always say that you don't know you're just supermegaawesomefoxyhot, right? It appears to be true. You totes are
*hugs Rose* okay! Have fun?
And I don't know how Deacon's magic works..
*crawls to Drew, grasping at her stomach* Oh gods...
*touches his forehead* Brother...?
No Mara. You're a bloglandian Directioner. You don't need their groups made up by nothing more than appearance, here we value who /you/ are. And who are you?
Maralie Lily Charm. Awesomest romance writer in MC. Jane (I think, sorry if I got that wrong), a really powerful and amazing girl. And our friend, who we will never forgot.
1D may not know you exist, but we do, Derek does, and we love you.
*hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
The magic must be coming from somewhere. Most probably close range too. It would be hard to sustain it at a long distance. If we destroy the source we destroy the magic.
The source seems to be Deacon
That, along with other reasons Dragona, is why I want to kill Deacon.
#ChaseForBook9
I don't think so, she meant it as a joke.
But she doesn't know how much it meant to me.
Beautiful. And no, that's meant for the girls that actually are pretty. Not me.
#ChaseForBook9
We went through this earlier in the year, we were so close.
Then stuff went and had to happen.
#ChaseFprBook9
Wait. We don't need to kill him. Only distract him. If someone would interrupt his concentration for a while it should make the magic easier to deal with. Weaken it.
I don't know what to say
#ChaseForBook9
Mara, that's the point of the song! It's saying, no matter how physically ugly you perceive yourself to be, inside, you are uncountably amazing, and THAT is what makes you beautiful. Not the fickle physical form, who you are inside.
#ChaseForBook9
Meh. I don't know if I'm pretty or not but I tell myself that I am anyway.
And that I'm not finished growing.
And that a little magic natural makeup does wonders.
Part of the reason for thinking people aren't pretty isn't feeling or believing
I don't know what I just said
I like Trip's answer better.
SWAP
No Dragona, it doesn't work like that. These entities are like machines, programmed with specific orders, they operate separately from Deacon, but use his magic to stay alive. Even if we bind him, they stick around. The only way to get rid of them is to kill Deacon.
#ChaseForBook9
So kill Deacon
Or get him to let go
Reprogram the orders, then. Someone must have programmed them in the first place.
Back.
And Adra, it's okay, I have no idea either, really... [hugs]
[hugs Mara] You're a beautiful person, even if you don't see yourself that way.
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* msd arguement happened
I'm really sorry Fabi.
*hits Drew in the face* OI WAKE UP I CAN'T SOW MYSELF BACK TOGETHER
The way that you flick your hair gets me overwhelmed
This is not referring to the actual beauty of the girl flicking her hair, but how cute that habit is to the singer. That little personality quirk, and others are things that make her (or him, it's never specified) beautiful on the inside.
#ChaseForBook9
That's the problem Dragona, only Deacon knows the language. He created the technique, and never told anyone how it works. Only he knows how to turn them off.
#ChaseForBook9
So we are screwed joyous
No, we use Rigor.
#ChaswForBook9
Then let's kill him. Or sever his ties with the magic.
(Uh Trip, your girlfriend is bleeding with a giant hole in her chest and Drew is unconscious, tied down by shadows on the floor.
Just thought you needed a push.)
Trip you want me to just bloody heal her?
Fuck ye Em.
Fuck
Ye.
Em.
*growls*
(Oh yeah. Forgot, cause of being so proud of re-finding myself.)
Adra, maybe you should take a lie down, you're in pretty bad shape.
#ChaseForBook9
If we sent a pulse of magic out it could stop the magic using Deacon, or disable it for long enough to be able to do something about it.
Adra, yes. Heal Adra.
You can try on Em, but this is beyond even your capabilities.
#ChaseForBook9
Heh, that's cute.
I've got it.
*pushes herself to her feet, stumbling to the medical bay*
It's my fault anyway, I guess. [shrugs slightly]
#ChaseForBook9
I don't follow Dragona. How would a pulse of life magic do anything?
#ChaseForBook9
Beauty queen of only eighteen she
Had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her, she
Always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles and wound up
At your door
I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved, and she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door, I
Want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along yeah
My heart is full, and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want yeah
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved, and she will be loved
And she will be loved, and she will be loved
I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and makes me catch her every time she
Falls
Yeah, tap on my window, knock on my door, I
Want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spendin' everyday
Out on your corner in the pourin' rain oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved, and she will be loved
And she will be loved, and she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say good-bye
I don't mind spendin' everyday, out on your corner in the pourin' rain
Please don't try so hard to say good-bye
#ChaseForBook9
*kneels by Adra and draws the sigil pouring her emergy into it to heal Adra*
*the shadows slither away from Drew, just leaving him lying on the floor unconscious*
Fabi, I don't know what's wrong, but I can tell from how sad you are that it's Not Your Fault.
Not Your Fault.
#ChaseForBook9
You said that the magic was like a machine. The pulse would act like an EMP. It would leave the magic vulnerable to us or disable it completely.
*maroon 5 feels*
*hugs Mara and Fabi* look- here, we all are here.
((Zaf, I'm in the med bay :3))
*picks up Drew and goes to the medical bay, puts him on a bed*
#ChaseForBook9
No, I didn't mean literally like a machine, as in it would do certain things that Deacon had previously told it to. Apart from that, it's in no way similar.
#ChaseGorBook9
*sits on a table, dumping rubbing alcohol over her stomach, then taking out a monitor, stitching herself up with a vid cam*
(*le sigh* i try
(Em, could you do us a brief explanation of the torture shadows for Dragona please?)
#ChaseForBook9
You do Zaf. It's the thought that counts.
#ChaseForBook9
I know. I was just using it as an example. If deacon has the link between himself and it, a magical link, then we use the pulse, it should disable the connection. Knock the link. Stop him from being able to fuel it.
No no no, that's not how it works. It would be easiest if Em explains.
#ChaseForBook9
(Basically it's like a disease like cancer except it's at Deacon's will. Only he can take them back out. He can feel the shadows and what they are infecting and how they are infecting and he can change it from wherever he is.
It's like a listening device except Deacon can change the rules anytime he wants)
I have to go now. Bye!
[Hugs Mara, Adra, Trip and anyone else]
I appreciate the sentiment, Trip, but I'm pretty sure I'm making my own problems at this point.
#ChaseForBook9
*says softly* Oooohhh sweet child of mine... Oh oh oh sweet love of mine...
Damn this is hard
Fabi, perhaps you ought to relax- at a spa or something. Unwind.
*hugs*
Bye Dragona
Bye Dragona!
Well still. We love you Fabsi. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Well Adra...*goes quiet* now what? I just want to have peace and werewolves...more problems then anything
*watches from treehouse* Can I come down?
We were on top of this Deacon problem before. Can't we just pick up where we left off? Recapture Rigor, do the plan?
#ChaseForBook9
*winces, putting her arms down, one half of a claw mark stitched up* Damn hand cramps...
SHIT.
*glances at the blood*
DRRREEEWWWW
That's your mother's decision Alexis!
#ChaseForBook9
Here, want me to help Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Fine but if Deacon comes go back up.
*goes down by everyone walking ok but wincing slightly* Stupid Alex!!!
If Deacon comes I suggest you all run for cover, blood is so hard to wash out.
#ChaseForBook9
*raises an eyebrow* You know how to stitch people up?
What did you say about Alex? *Raises eyebrow at Alexis*
Ooh stitching is fun!!! I like sewing! Is it like sewing? *sees Adra's chest hole* Eww ok never mind.
*frowns* Of course. Adra, in my line of work, would I still be alive if I didn't know how to stitch people up?
#ChaseForBook9
Well he DID kidnap me and take my organs out....I think I am allowed to be mad? Why are you so upset Deathy?
Stomach, actually.
*cautiously hands Trip the needle and thread*
From before Death. Psychopath Alex.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins* No way I am not stitching unless I have to. Eww even Justaria who loves bloodshed says she would never stitch
*splays hands, needle and thread are coated in energy, and start stitching away. Adra is stitched up in no time.*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at her stomach* huh.
*grabs a handful of Trip's shit, pulling him down to kiss her*
*grins* Thank you
(Lol)
*kisses back*
My pleasure.
#ChaseFoeBook9
Eww...*turns ahead away* hey guys there is an 11 year old here....ME!
*blushes, pushing herself up, but feeling a gut- wrenching twist in her stomach*
Lol nope
Yeah, Alexis- and we know you know too much already so shush
Alex Chrome (Dwyer) said...
I dedicate this WHOLE page to my beautiful Bloglandian girlfriend, Death Rose, and her Blogsversary.
<3 I love you Rose.
August 14, 2013 at 10:48 PM
^Thats why I'm ever so slightly mad.
I could use a game of Blogland Truth or Dare eh?
Well, you'll be doing it soon enough, better take down some notes!
#ChaseForBook9
I'm so agreeing with you there Zaffy!
I'm 11 Uncle Trip! What boy is dating me? And Aunt Adra I blame your boyfriend. He taught me enough....*grins*
Hmmm that'd be fun! Anyone else wanna play?
Sure Zaf! But first.
Adra, would you like to go to the Requim ball with me?
*muttering* I mean, why /you/ can't ask /me/ evades me, but hey, let's not rock the boat.
#ChaseForBook9
What?
I merely asked if you had sex ed!
Uncle Trip?
That's why I said a few years. I'd say, oooh, five, until your first kiss.
#ChaseForBook9
Awwww! And Trip the guy asks the girl. Go get advice from Coco he's old fashioned, litterally.
*grins up at him* not the most romantic of setting, but that doesn't matter.
Of course, Zaf!
Though I can't walk so you'll have to carry me like an Egyptian
DO IT ZAF
Hm, I like the sound of that. Uncle Trip.
#ChaseForBook9
I'll throw you in the lake! *grins* seriously ask your date ti carry you!
So? Yes? No? I'll think about it?
#ChaseForBook9
*mutters under breath*
Of bloody course there's more drama in the fandom..
If Best Song Ever gets taken down, I swear to fucking God I will hunt the Who down and personally THROW a fucking BRICK at their FACES! *seethes*
#ChaseForBook9
TADRA TADRA TADRA! *runs to where we usually play Truth or Dare* Can I go first?!
I drowned earlier because of that, Zaf. I'd rather not go through that a second time
YES.
Jesus Trip- yes. *laughs*
*hugs Mara* that's stupid...
Then I suggest Trip carries you. You know he is the boy
Now calm down Mara, the. Who are people too.
#ChaseForBook9
That's sexist, Zaf.
Oh good. *kisses Adra, rolls eyes at Zaf and picks up Adra*
You're so old fashioned Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
Im from the 1800's and i spend time with Niccolo tis bound to rub off on me
*swings her legs* yaaaaaaaaaay! *kisses his cheek*
You don't just try to get a song deleted because it shares minor similarities in the music!
Uncle Si won't stand for this.. *mumbles*
#ChaseForBook9
Uncle Si??
I actually love the Who
Isnt Coco from like the Renisance or Medieval Times?
You know it's probably not the who themselves but their lawyers and managers.
Also copyright law. It's really, and I mean really dumb.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes Alexis. I'm pretty sure he's from the renisance. What is he? 400?
#ChaseForBook9
513.
Aaand she knows the exact date.
I'd point out that I am the epitome of old fashioned
Just like Modest! Do a lot of shit to 1D, the who probably have the same with their managers.
#ChaseForBook9
He's from a little before the Renisance but he was a scholar then, why do you think he paints? I mean he would have to if he was from that time period!
*hums* is Rose still here?
I wouldn't have to, Zaf
So can we play?!
While I'm quite modern. I've always just sort of rolled with the times.
*flies Adra up to the watch tower*
#ChaseForBook9
Hey!
I dedicate this page to Tadra because they are perfect together! And to the Requim Ball because I want to go soooo bad!
*looks up*
Y'know, when things like this happen, we're probably going to win. I mean, Uncle Si is one of the richest men in the world. He paid the American One Direction not to sue the boys. He stopped WMYB and LWWY from getting deleted, so I heard. We're his nieces and nephews. *gives a small smile* He said he'd try to do anything for us. So when we ask for help, he usually gives it to us. But this time... I mean, it's the Who. They were huge. Their management and lawyers are probably suing Si right now. It's scary to think about it...
#ChaseForBook9
*flies, leaning her head on Trip's shoulder* I'm totally taking in the moment, FYI.
*raises glass* hear hear
Huh. Im not sure Adra but I mean I dont know how to relate
*hugs Mara* don't worry- everything will work out
*Mara not Adra
Eh, it'll all turn out just fine in the end Mara. If you win or lose.
#ChaseForBook9
Uncle Si is Simon Cowell.
I like the Who, too. Well, I wouldn't listen to their song, but if one came on, I'd probably sing along... Dad used to play their CDs in the car.
Modest! are... ugh. Just imagine everything bad in this world, then multiply it by infinity.
Why do they even have an exclaimation mark after their name? It's not like anyone's going to be happy to see them. *mutters* *crosses arms*
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah, it is pretty nice.
#ChaseForBook9
So....
I don't know who modest! Is?
But ooooh. Simon. Gotcha.
So, Alexis?
So Modest! Are worse than the Nazis?
Men, I think Simon Cowell probably owns The Wanted's record label anyway. It's probably a publicity stunt.
#ChaseForzBook9
I....Wanna ask advice. I'm allowed to go to the Requim Ball and I really wanna dance with a certain guy here...what do I do?! The Ball is so much more formal!
Modest! is One Direction's management.
They're forcing Louis to marry Eleanor...
Sorry for ranting... I need someplace to vent. ._.
#ChaseForBook9
Go on Mara you can vent not a problem I be mad too..
Oh I wonder who the mystery guy is..
We could mean you in, don't worry
No, the Wanted aren't with Syco... Idk who they're with, tbh. And I could not care less about them. No offence to anyone.
#ChaseForBook9
I think I know who it is..
Am I right in saying his initials are N.C.?
#ChaseForBook9
Is it wrong for me to want to dance with him...you probably know who...*looks a bit nervous* Momma said she went to a party with Daddy and danced at my age...
*nods to Mara* Yes.
No, Simon Cowell owns a ton of different labels he probably owns the Wanted's label and Sycho.
Well Alexis, the Requim ball is still an event for you to have fun at. Dance with him, take control.
#ChaseFoeBook9
*rolls her eyes* Lord, Alexis.
*pokes Trip* hellloooo?
Ah.
Yeah, as a responsible adult, I'd have to say, as a joke, or as friends, dancing with Niccolo is fine, but in the other respect... No.
#ChaseForBook9
But seriously how do I get him to even dance with me? I got lucky once but Niccolo tends to decline almost anything NICE
*sarcastically* Oh its totally fine to date him, he's only 502 years OLDER
Because, Niccolo is 500, and you're 11. If Niccolo was 11, and so were you, there'd be no problem.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis, dear. You don't want to date older guys at your age. Trust me
Even if you were 18, and he was 500, that'd be fine. But it's just not at your age.
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes head* Just looked it up. They're with Island Records or something. Hmm.
Oh well. Life goes on.
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* I hate being so young! Nobody ever takes notice of me! I'm lucky I can go to the Ball if Momma wasn't the American Grand Mage I wouldnt be going!
Alexis... *shakes head*
Sorry, love. Do not go near older guys. You get judged. *sighs*
I'm sure, if you ask him to dance with you at the ball, that'd be okay..
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Mara tightly*
Alexis dear god you sound like you're 16 what are you on? Just relax. When you're older you have a shot! Okay? For now just be paitent. I couldnt date your father until I had the Surge and I was 19 so
You'll grow out of it. *laughs*
But seriously Alexis, I also don't get why kids are so suppressed. By your age, you are more than responsible enough to go to a ball. If you ever need help getting into places, just call.
But there are important reasons why you can't dance with Nicollo due to his age.
#ChaseForBook9
I guess so Mara. I dont think it matters in the magical world. Sanguine's older then Tanith! But .i guess ill wait til im older. But i guess he may say yes.
*raises an eyebrow at what Trip said, but doesn't say anything*
If you had the Surge I wouldn't care but Alexis you're 11. I mean yes yiu may have a crush on him but you got to wait. When yiu're 16 or 18 i dont care because you'll be older. Nowadays girls date at 14-15 but until then no. As friends go for it. Nothing more until you're older.
It's mostly a complicated net of social taboos and mistrust, all interlocking g to create a heightened sense of paranoia, but also, the feelings you believe you have for Niccolo, are more admiration and trust than love.
#ChaseForBook9
When did you become an emotions expert Uncle Trip?
You see, with the onset of adolescence, comes new, and exiting hormones that make you feel emotions differently. What you are experiencing is something commonly called Puppy Love. A sort of mirage of emotions, making you believe you have strong feelings for someone.
#ChaseForBook9
Alexis, I hit people with my emotions. I've always been quite good with them, I have to be.
#ChasewForBook9
*ponders, glancing at him before looking back to Alexis*
*in her head* peculiar...
*sighs* Explain my parents, then. *looks mad* I cant wait till I am older then people will believe me.
What about your parents?
#ChaseForBook9
Never mind. You'll tell me I'm wrong. *walks by lake* stupid adults! I hate being little NOBODY thinks im right.
*sighs, running a hand through her hair* Alexis, don't grow up too fast
Bob: *walks next to Alexis* Hey! I find that mildly offensive! I'm little, and look how awesome I am. Enjoy it while it lasts Missy!
What's got you down little one?
#ChaseForBook9
I hate being 11! Nobody takes me seriously
