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.

Nah.
#ChaseForBook9
Trip careful Olivia crawled to you
*laughs* Lord, Zaf.
And when you were gone, SOMEONE had to make sure everyone didn't dehydrate themselves. And you really didn't make anyone pay before you left, so..
Hello there little one. You know, now you're old enough to crawl, I can probably look at you with my eyes open, without risking sending you insane.
#ChaseForBook9
mbd, reading^^
Well, it started as me just offering people drinks on the house when we were in war councils, and it just sort of spiralled out of control...
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *gazes at Trip and reaches for and falls back* *cries*
Wait, now Olivia's 2, does that make Alexis 13?
#ChaseForBook9
*glances at Olivia, walking briskly past to sit on her still swing*
*struggles*
*gives up*

#ChaseForBook9
*picks up Olivia* There there.
#ChaseForBook9
*rocks Olivia* Sh sh shhh. It's all right.
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *stops crying and touches Trip's cheek*
I will!
I DED to the moon. Because I don't like the sun and it burns my skin and I can't tan.
Ever.
*raises shot glass* hear hear

EDWARD I WILL RIP YOUR BALLS OFF.

Aw, are we all better? Yes we are. *puts Olivia back down*
#ChaseForBook9
Great ded Adra! *raises glass* hear hear!
#ChaseForBook9
Jesus Ads you can be really scary when you wanna be.
#ChaseForBook9
Maybe I should employ you as gaurd dog. Also, it's not a safe, it's an enchanted box.
#ChaseForBook9
You doubted me, Rhydian?
what!!! *runs*
Olivia: *crawls towards the bar*
Woah okay Trip she cant go in there can she?
I never doubted you Adra. I just didn't think you could be that mean. I now see why we are such great friends!
#ChaseForBook9
lol
#ChaseForBook9
*grins, watching Edward run, before jumping off her s wing, pushing it a bit before jumping on, when it falls still*
*curses*
Damn swing
(we're in the bar)
Sure she can. What do you take my bar for? Some kind of rough and tumble, beat em up brawler pub? Nay!
#ChaseForBook9
*jumps onto ceiling and lowers self above enchanted box*
Okay just making sure
Olivia: *goes to Trip again carrying a fox toy*
*leans on her stomach, trying to reach the ground with her hands*
Ugh.
I hate this.
*hand whips out in finger gun form, shoots Edward*
Hello again. What's this?
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *cries from hearing the gun dropping the fox toy*
Oh god *picks up Olivia*
(No, it's not a gun, it's my fingers and I fired energy, it doesn't make a sound)
#ChaseForBook9
*raises an eyebrow* Right...
*gets off the seat, going for a running start, jumping on the swig, but it remains still and she falls on her face*
*lays in the grass* I give up
ow, *stands up and walks out*
*sits up* *trudges back into the bar in a cloud of despair* *slinks into a chair, silently watching*
Olivia; *stays by Trip*
So, who's this then? (the fox)
#ChaseForBook9
*walks in invisible*
*looks at the fox* *raises her eyebrows, staring out the window, humming slightly to herself "Hungry Like the Wolf"*
*enters bar* Hey everyone!
Edward, decloak please.
#ChaseForBook9

Don't think I don't know you're here, I've got sigils.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Olivia*
Awwwww, she's so cute!
O.o
... Rhydian, I posted the OC. But I started rambling. So the first paragraph is what you asked for, and the rest is just miscellaneous blah, basically. :P
Sorry!
If I'm too late on it, I can be a late arrival, or unable to attend at that point, or just non-existent. It's all good. :P
Thanks~ :)
And, hey! I have an OC written now(kind of)! *cheers*
#ChaseForBook9
Hey TAIAIAIAIARAWR

HEMINGWAY, ADRARARIOUSNESS! ^^
#ChaseForBook9
*gets Edward a cider*
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* *her phone rings again and she walks outside*
(In Tamil) Yes?... Well- Really?? THAT'S FANTASTIC! Thank you so-... Yeah. *goes on and on*
*frowns*
Autocorrect likes to lock "Hemingway" into caps.
Like "Maralie", it always does that with "Maralie", too. :P
#ChaseForBook9
It does that with Aretha a lot...
*nods, saying a thank you into the phone, ending the call* *grins, squealing, hopping up and down before taking out her phone, texting*

#chaseForBook9
Hello again.
*calls someone on her phone*
*murmurs in Russian before calling another person and so on and so forth for about an hour*
*hangs up*
*sighs*
*sits on her swing*
It WAS good, Rhydian! :)
Really?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Dragona.
#ChaseForBook9
((YES RHYDIAN!))
I thought it was just depressing.
#ChaseForBook9

Depressing CAN be good, Rhydian!
Good point Mithria!
#ChaseForBook9
*nods*

#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9
*nods in general agreement* :p
#ChaseForBook9
I have no idea what's happening.

* :)
*glares at iPod*
#ChaseForBook9
*grins, then her face falls*
Oh.
Well, I don't really know how to say it, but I got a job. In New Delhi, India. They were in dire need of a new administrator- and they have a lot to do to fix up their Sanctuary... And, well- I'm not going to be here as much- what with work to think about.
**GOOOO**
Rhydian, yay you posted it! How about if I do you a swap, you read mine if I read yours? :P
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
Oh Adra how if....never mind. I dwren't ask.
(And I dont even go back to school until Sept. 3rd)
Oh yeah, the whole, not an elder any more thing.
Well that's great! I'm so happy for you Adra. *hugs*
Now that you mention it, why aren't you an elder any more?
#ChaseForBook9
As Grand Mage I would love to know too!
*laughs* I needed a change. And Zafira was really getting on my nerves.
I'm on my computer Dragona. It won't let me. And I've looked on YouTube and Mass Effect doesn't seem like something I'd like to read. Sorry Dragona.
#ChaseForBook9
gtg... see you!
Oh and: WRITE, RHYDIAN, WRITE!! xD
Great Adra! That's great! *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Makes sense, I don't think I'd be able to cope with being her head spotter either.
#ChaseForBook9
OKAY MITHRIA! Not today. I'm really tired
#ChaseForBook9
*whispers* Bye Mith!
Thanks, Rhyd
Bye Mithria!
#ChaseForBook9
Rhydian, ah ok. But I bet youtube doesn't do it justice. What did it show?
I'll read yours anyway. ^^
Bye Mith!
#ChaseForBook9
Great. So I need another Elder, NOW WHO DO I PICK? Niccolo? *is sarcastic* He's not even American.
But it wasn't just Zaf... The people, too. I dunno- I used to do this a lot- transfer Sanctuaries. I've missed it a bit, you know? And I've never worked in India, so that ought to be interesting
Gtg now. Mum wants me. I'll be back tommorow!! Bye!!!!!!
#ChaseForBook9
*waves* Bye Rhydian!
Meh, you'll find someone, Zaf.
Bye Rhydian!
So that's why you were in London for world war two?
#ChaseForBook9
You should totally pick Jubi.
#ChaseForBook9
Elder Jubilance Glee. It has a ring to it, don't you think?
#ChaseForBook9
I have my ideas. And no I am not picking Niccolo I swear over Alexis's life he is not who I asked.
"Elder Glee, are you sure we should invade Canada?"
"YES! YES! THEN WE WILL GIVE THEM ALL DOLVAMPONIES, AND STEAL ALL THEIR CHOCOLATE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HEHEHEHEEEHEHEEEEE! CHOCOLATE!"
The horror.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes! Pick Jubi!
Yeah, London... I was in- let's see... Russia, Germany, Argentina, China... A few other places
Do it.
Dooo iiit!
#ChaseForBook9
No I asked Derek *sarcastic*
Well I'm glad that you're in a job that you're happy with.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits back on the swing, grinning* that was mean .
Jubi would be a good, Elder. A little bit of excitement never hurt anyone
Well you'll have to see! When the person I asked gives me an answer I shall say.
Well, now I nee-
It's Ari.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not gonna tell anyone. I could have asked ANY Ameriminion
Probably Aretha *laughs*
*kicks at the ground*
... I'm short.
Fuck.
*takes a bite of the cheese, hurling skulcakes at everybody*
*eats skulcakes and throws cheese back*
*is covered in food*
Why don't you people ever throw perfectly cooked steaks?
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry. Poof'd.
And wbd.
#ChaseForBook9
*throws liver at Trip*
*dodges the cheese and begins to awkwardly scale the tree to get to the top to adjust the swing*
Really? Liver? You know that's what you throw now. Liver.(Or at least that's what I've gathered) Nice choice Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
*gets his cheese and ice cream cannon and starts shooting everyone*
I have read your conversation for 15 minutes and still not come up with something to say. But I just have to ask, are you insane??
*slides down the trunk of the tree* *kicks at it* WORK, DAMMIT!
Very much so.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Lykira! How are you? And yes, we most likely are. But we're pretty awesome, right?
Lykira, may I ask what country you're from? I'm Elder Zafira Kerias from America and I will appear in LSODM as an American Elder and I believe if Derek didnt change it my magic is Necromancy.
Hey, we haven't met have we? Here nice to have previously not met you but now in the present yes right now to have indeed met you unlike before when I had not met you. *smiles* Here, take this as a hello present. *hands bottle of blogland 2023*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Lyrika!
*attempts to climb again*
hello lyrika
Hi! I'm fine. You throw liver, ice cream and cheese at each other, really awesome ...
Has everyone else met this woman while I have only just come into contact with her?!
How is this so?
#ChaseForBook9
Actually, I throw pickles! *throws pickles at Edward*
#ChaseForBook9
Trip, nope. Haven't got a clue who it is. Oh well.
And yay Lykira! You think so too! :D
No, we are just saying hello. *clings to the tree like a monkey*
Must...
Get...
There...
*eats pickles and throws snow at trip*
I'm from Sweden. And I haven't met any of you before... (and my english really sucks...)
*throws pickles at snow, making the snow balls shatter in the air*
HAHA!
#ChaseForBook9
Ah, your English is fine- don't worry!
Lykira, your English seems fine to me. Welcome to the insane collection of people who like Skulduggery Pleasant - AKA Blogland.
Your english seems better than my swedish!
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Lykira! (May I call you Lykira?)
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. :)
*offers Lykira a cookie*
#ChaseForBook9
*throws penguin and snowman at trip* ha HA
Your English is better than my English because I rarely speak English on here - I mostly throw cheese and ice cream at people. That's my job.
*manages to get to the tree branch*
*scales across it, sitting next to the tied ropes that keep the swing up*
*pulls at the ropes, which have eroded slightly*
*leans on the tree branch, down to adjust the knots*
*Hobbits leap and catch the penguin, scuttling off with it, uses fire energy to melt the snowman*
#ChaseForBook9
Call me wathever you want! And I would not have survived without Google translate... :)
*Returns firee with a Hobbit trebuchet*
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs*
Dragona, it's a good job, too. :P
*noms ice cream happily*
#ChaseForBook9
*throws adra at trip*
LADIES PLEASE
NO FIGHTING
Wait- what??? I'm in a tree?
Yes it's one of the best jobs in the world.
*throws cheese and ice cream at people*
In fact, the only time I tend to speak English is when I'm talking about Mass Effect. But oh well. :)
*throws a cow across the room*
WAIT WHERE DID THE COW COME FROM?!
Hey, we're having fun.
And coincidentally at the same time firing medieval weapons of death at each other.
#ChaseForBook9
That is soo cool! Sweden. Huh. You have better English then us lol.
Trip, is a cow a medieval weapon of death? Because I could MAKE it a medieval weapon of death.
Ah! *the crow spontaneously combusts*
#ChaseForBook9
*blinks*
I need to stop being so distant.
*stands, confused*
*is hit by a mysterious flying cow*
*blinks again*
#ChaseForBook9
yeah *throws axe at trip*
*throws vacuum cleaners at everyone*
*stays in her tree, muttering* DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT THROWING DIMKA OR VILE OR BLUEBERRY OR I SWEAR...
Well, I have studied english in school for 5 years almost. It's not very easy... :)
Well, probably. I mean, at one point /pigs/ were used as weapons, I don't think cows were exempt from the eye of budding seige warrers.
#ChaseForBook9
No... English is strange.
LATIN FOREVER
*catches one of the vacuums* Thanks for the assist Dragona! *sucks up the axe*
#ChaseForBook9
And in true comic style... *turns the vacuum from suck to blow, firing the axe back*
#ChaseForBook9
Um.
*attempts to throw a snail across the room*
#ChaseForBook9
*fastens vacuum on his back*
WHO YA GONNA CALL?
GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHEESE
I'm back.
Oh dear.
*fixes one side*
*turns axe into bubbles and throws a pillow at trip*
*eats the pillow*
Oh dear now I need to ded.
*crawls across the tree to the other side, reaching down and fiddling with the other side of the swing*
argh
@Lykira: *nods* I think most language are probably difficult to learn. English is definitely no exception. :)
Like Welsh. *nods again* :P
*is promptly knocked out by a vacuum cleaner*
Brb - food.
#ChaseForBook9
Swedish is not easy either... Not even for me. So, who are you? I only know your names!
@Dragona: the Ghostbusters reference - xD
NOW brb.
#ChaseForBook9
I am Adrasdos Dark, the newly- appointed Administrator of the Indian Sanctuary in New Delhi, formerly an Elder in the States. *hands her a skulcake* It is like a cupcake. But with skulduggery
*throws Dragona at Edward*
*laughs, resuming her work*
*glances down* .... How will I even get down from here
I dedicate this page to everything being thrown around at the moment - bubbles, cows, vacuum cleaners, cheese, axes, ice cream and pillows and also a snail thanks to Taia.
And I also dedicate this page to the cool pens with the multiple colours that let you choose what colour ink you want without switching the pen because they're just one of the greatest inventions ever.
Also to pressing the wrong button on games at the wrong times. Unfortunately for me that has happened several times, ending me either stunned (flashbang grenade), dead (RPG at the floor) or accidentally confessing a love to a female alien on board my ship on Mass Effect (AN ACCIDENT I SWEAR).
No matter how much I get annoyed at it, it is just funny. And funny is a good thing.
So I dedicate this page to funny too. Because funny is pretty awesome.
adra here *throws ladder at adra*
I introduced myself but to Bloglandians I am Grand Mage
Oh to be one of those lucky 8 :(
*throws Derek at Trip*
Cool! All of you, and the skulcake!
I'm Dragona Pine. Resident thrower of cheese and ice cream. I play too much Mass Effect - a video game if you didn't know (which I also write stories about). I also am a kind of ninja though sometimes I don't really do anything but throw cheese. And I write stories about things other than Mass Effect - I do an SP fanfic too. :)
*raises glass*
EEP! *ducks under the sailing latter* NO NOT NOW!!!
*deflects the Derek*
*throws a skyscraper at Zafira*
*then throws cheese at everyone*
