Edinburgh tomorrow, where LSODM will be on sale for a few hours, then whipped away again until the 29th, because we're mean...
So... spoilers. I hate spoilers. I hate them as a reader, and I hate them even more as a writer. I don't even like mild spoilers, such as "Just wait till you see what happens to Kenspeckle!" or "All I will say is... Mevolent."
I get it. I do. You have a piece of information that's bubbling inside you, and you want to share it but you know you can't, so you share a sliver, something you think is enough of a hint to be relevant, but not enough to ruin anything... and yet, even this is a spoiler, because it's alerting someone to something big that's coming up...
I happen to have readers who are very respectful to their fellow Skulduggery fans, a fact that still amazes everyone at Harper Collins. I know that's going to continue, but we all have to be vigilant about this stuff.
I write these books for you to read them, to discover them, to experience them, on a page by page basis. It sounds obvious, right? But spoilers wreck that.
Okay, I shall now stop talking about it. But if you see ANY shop selling LSODM before the 29th, tweet me and let me know.

[Pulls out notebook full of coded scribbles and places it on the window sill]
[Begins walking away briskly, almost roboticly]

*swims down towards bottom and freexes part of sea so air is available*
*smiles, and blushes slightly* He's very much his charming self in my universe. He's sort of like he is here, just a lot less sad.
Hey, Fabi! *runs to catch up with her* What's that about?
#ChaseForBook9
*picks Adra up, rockets back out, lands on the beach*
#ChaseForBook9
Ah...*smiles and goes to Blogland with Momma* Olivia is crawling around again...uh oh.
*sits in frozen air bubble at bottom of sea*
[Looks Aretha in the eye]
What am I like in that other universe?
#ChaseForBook9
*frowls* What did you do that for?
*sits with Javier* Ooh dear
I was about to ask you the same question.
#ChaseForBook9
Isn't it normally a good sign when a baby learns to crawl?
#ChaseForBook9
*slowly rises to surface* i may have an idea
Yeah but she gets into things and she tried drowning Coco bear the other day
Yeah I bet you would. What do you think that was.
Javier: Alexis come here
Olivia: *crawls to Alexis* Alexis!
*picks up* Hey Olivia. *tickles* You crawling?
Well, you tried to kill yourself!
#ChaseForBook9
Olivia: *reaches for Coco bear* Coco!
Yes, that's my teddy bear named Coco and no Niccolo isn't here silly. *smiles* Niccolo is a busy man. *walks with*
Better by me than some stranger
Um. Well. You're very, sort of... Interesting. It's hard to describe you, actually. You write a lot of poetry, and do artsy stuff like that. You're good with artsy things. And you think really logically, so you usually come up with the best solutions to problems. People didn't usually listen to you, but then there was this incident and a lot of people died- I won't say more than that, in case something similar happens here- and a few people figured out that you basically told them how to avoid the whole thing, so now they ask you for advice and things like that.
#ChaseForBook9
No... No no no. Don't think like that. You'll get through this, I know you will. They won't ask the administrator to fight.
#ChaseForBook9
What am I like? *smiles* This is my baby sister!
I hear we Elders will be fighting. Doesnt bother me really at all war is war if I have to fight I will I will defend America
Yeah, what am I like? I'm...
Intrigued.
#ChaseForBook9
[Laughs bitterly]
Interesting. You could say that.
[Face darkens]
[Staggers]
#ChaseForBook9
They would though- and it's not like anyone hasn't heard of me before. Four hundred years, my name tends to get around
Are Elders really going to be fighting? That doesn't seem like a good idea to me... I mean, defending the country is certainly important, but leadership is also super important, and if all the leaders are killed... Well, that's going to set the country at a huge disadvantage.
#ChaseForBook9
Sometimes... I can't make up my mind which is worse, people not listening, or expectations.
[Laughs]
#ChaseForBook9
Are you ok, Fabi?
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, I don't know what's gotten into you, but this isn't the confident, ever optimistic woman I fell in love with.
#ChaseForBook9
trip, you will have go to war too as part of a sanctuary
I know *sighs and looks off into the distance* I wonder if I was sucessful with that link...I am curious now
Ok? I'm just brilliant.
[Laughs again]
[Laughter fades]
I killed Careen...
#ChaseForBook9
((Brb))
#ChaseForBook9
*doesn't answer, playing with a shell* Sorry if I'm not what you've expected then
No, I have certain, exceptions, in my terms of employment Ed. My division effectively acts as a separate, neutral entity.
#ChaseForBook9
fair enough. but if the war is critical, are you prepared to fight?
Oh. *face darkens* Trip, you're... Well, from what I've seen of you so far, you're pretty much the same, but you... *sighs* You had some sort of emotional issue where your dark side took over for a while, and just sort of ran rampant until someone could figure out how to stop you. Then there was this period where a few organizations tried locking you up and using you as a weapon, and they kind of traded you back and forth for a while. That was how you met Adra, though, so it wasn't all bad. She was infiltrating one of the organizations that had you because it was apparently doing plenty of cruel illegal activity, and then the two of you ran of and disappeared from society as best you could, and you live this nice, quiet life together.
#ChaseForBook9
What am I like there? *tilts head and watches Olivia fall asleep*
Adra... *takes her by the shoulders* I love you, and it's going to take a lot more than the universe can throw at me to change that. But I want you to know you're going to be okay. They can't make you fight, not in your position. And anyway, you can handle anyone they throw at you! Look at all the people you fought and lived! They threw everything the sanctuary had at you and still you won. Even if they manage to make you fight, no one will kill you.
#ChaseForBook9
In my universe, you're famous for your interrogations, because you figured out how to do this sensitive thing no one's done before. But you're sort of a loose cannon, so most people respect you and fear you, simultaneously. And you're dating Niccolò's nephew.
((See you soon, Fabi!))
#ChaseForBook9
*hears both Trip and Aretha, and immediately begins sobbing, throwing her arms around Trip's torso, shoulders shaking*
Since when did Niccolo have a nephew? *smiles* I would love to meet him one day....
gtg, its 2am
There there. *hugs*
#ChaseForBook9
Javier: if the link worked you could hear Niccolo but you cant so unless Niccolo somehow is blocking his voice out, no.
Least we tried
Bye Ed.
#ChaseForBook9
It's all going to be okay.
#ChaseForBook9
God... *looks up* Why did it take 400 years to find you?
((Bye Eduardo))
It was kind of funny, actually, how you guys met. His girlfriend had been killed, and you were working on the case of her murder. He was suspicious of you at first because of some rumors he had heard, but as he got to know you better the two of you became friends, and after a (long) while you started dating. But it took you both forever to realize he was actually Niccolò's nephew.
((Bye, Edward!))
#ChaseForBook9
((SHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPISHIPITSOHARDHELPME))
#ChaseForBook9
Why did it take 127 to find you?
#ChaseForBook9
Maybe Niccolo has a nephew in this world, he must have been like Niccolo because even not knowing him as much something about him when he watched me...*goes red* I should be quiet...Niccolo won't come if I draw attention to him.
((Back))
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs, not letting go* Ah, well... I'm glad you're finally here.
As am I.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits in silence, calming down rather quickly by his presence* *sighs*
*enjoys the blissful silence*
#ChaseForBook9
(([Ships Tadra!]))
[Straightens up]
[Brushes hair out of face]
[Hair falls in face again]
[Doesn't seem to notice]
#ChaseForBook9
I'm here again
A thousand miles away from you
A broken mess
Just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard
Thought I could do this on my own
I lost so much along the way
Then I see your face
I know I'm finally yours
I find everything
I thought I'd lost before
You call my name
I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
Pieces by Red is one of my favorite ship songs ever. Just... Ah! *throws something*
#ChaseForBook9
*looks slightly unsure* *hugs Coco bear tighter*
Hi Fabi!
If he has a surviving nephew, he doesn't know about it yet. But no one new in my universe until the two of you figured it out- well, actually more like Niccolò saw the two of you one time and freaked... But, anyway, the point stands.
#ChaseForBook9
*closes her eyes, drifting in and out of sleep*
Hmm... Who am I kidding- I have yet to see you... *yawns* All handsome and fancy at the Ball..
*laughs* I wish he did have a nephew...I really do ((Omg...that would be so cute! Alexis with someone like Coco's nephew...))
[Hums "Already Gone" and looks around]
[Stares horrified at the air and steps backward]
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah. Try not to kill yourself until at least then, hey?
#ChaseForBook9
*gives Fabi a strange glance*
Shouldn't be too difficult... *falls asleep for a second, immediately jolting awake*
*yawns again*
*laughs* I think in the alternate dimension... I think we've eloped
((Oh good god....GET. A. ROOM.))
Good for alternate dimension me. He deserves a little happiness after all that stuff he went through.
#ChaseForBook9
[Facepalms]
[Turns and walks quickly away, hair in face again]
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* I really love the way things turned out in my world. We've all had our shares of pain, but everyone found some way to be happy in the end.
#ChaseForBook9
((Oh my God. We hear you fangirl about Niccolo 24/7- it would be good to put you in our place))
Yeah... I wonder what I'm like... *muses*
Well, it's not even the end, but you know, after the pain. *chases after Fabi* Hey! Where are you going?
#ChaseforBook9
I'm sure you're just as beautiful as you are in this dimension.
#ChaseForBook9
*walks along the edge of the lake deep in thought*
*blushes furiously* If you wanted me to kiss you, you should have just asked. *kisses him*
Well, if it helps, Adra, you're a big advocate for equivalency. And you're a vegetarian. You've actually saved a lot of people from a lot of abuse. You spent some time going around and exposing/bringing down organizations like the one that had Trip.
#ChaseForBook9
*quietly freaks out and tries not to jump up and down because TADRAAAAAAAAAA*
#ChaseForBook9
I rather guess I'm worse then here *ignores the Tadra crap*
*kisses back*
#ChaseForBook9
[Smiles grimly]
I'm going back where I came from. I'll be seeing you around, though, don't worry.
[Eyes flicker to the left]
#ChaseForBook9
Hm... Maybe I should put Niccolò on the lookout for some of his relatives. I'm a little afraid, though, because if he can't find them... Well, I guess either way it'd give him some purpose for a while.
#ChaseForBook9
Um... I'm sorry, I don't understand... Please don't go.
#ChaseForBook9
Would now be a bad time to mention that I spawned a ton of cows in your bedroom?
I could help him! It would help me a bit too because I could try a few things I know...maybe.
*laughs* The best time. *kisses her*
#ChaseForBook9
*ships VERY VERY HARD* *is happy no one is around me in real life right now*
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* He'll have to clean himself up a bit, emotionally... Then, it should be a great activity.
#ChaseForBook9
[Laughs]
You--or the other you--was maybe one of the few reasons this didn't happen sooner.
It's for the best, though, really. And like I said, I'll see you around.
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles* I look forward to it! I promise to listen to him.
Oh good... *grins* And I also might have made your bar a disco bar.
...
And wrote rather large words on the sand.
...
...
...
And put signs everywhere
*really hopes Fabi isn't leaving irl*
Well, looks like I've got some cleaning up to do.
#ChaseForBook9
((hopefully by tomorrow i will actually SEE the Minecraft getting it tomorrow so least i see it)
((I have no idea what I'm doing. I don't think I'm leaving irl, though.))
#ChaseForBook9
A bit.
*laughs* Just throw potions at the cows... And bar up the doors invade they try to get out. Not that they could open doors, at any rate...
*good because I'd kick your ass*
You okay now?
#ChaseForBook9
*extremely happy* Yay! *hugs Coco bear tighter*
*nods* Yeah,
Good. *hugs her one last time hen pulls away*
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns* You're leaving?
MOO!
msd
*glares at hand* Fingers turn back from stone!
Hi Jubi!
Well, I was considering it. It's getting late.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh- then perhaps you'd better go then. *chuckles* Get your princely slumber
*smirks* Alexis could find a friend...good. She could use someone and if she is with Niccolo at least we all know she's safe. *pokes Javier*
Javier: Jayla...
*grins*
((Hi Jubi!))
#ChaseForBook9
TRIP!!! ADRA!!! JAYLA!!!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAAIII!!!!
*grins* Goodnight, sweet princess. *kisses her and then leaves*
#ChaseForBook9
Hello, Jubi
*grins* Oh my God...
FABI!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAAII!!!
Hi
((Ships Tadra!))
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes Tadra*
Ari poofed, they poofed....silence echoes
*leans back in the sand, letting the water lap at her feet, staring at the sky*
You know... As much as this life sucks... I'd prefer it over the other. In that one, I'm happy. I can't relish in moments like that... Because they happen all the time. They lose it's value. Kudos to me, however, for still being team good
*pokes Jubi*
Do you guys have any idea how hard it just was to finish my home work
Sorry to hear that, Adra.
*Zafira feels a hand brush against her shoulder and her fingers turn themselves to flesh and blood again* *is gone before she can look back*
#ChaseForBook9
((I guess I get what you mean))
#ChaseForBook9
Homework is a poopy
I mean YOU GUYS ARE ALL JUST-
Ugh.
My mom was looking at me strangely because I was laughing and grinning.
So no work done. But I'm finished now!
*watches as if in shock* Oh...*flexes fingers* *calls as if Niccolo would hear* Thank you, Niccolò
I guess he healed you...*laughs* Coco come out! *giggles*
*drinks*
OMG!!!! LOSDM IS NOW OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDD
((By now, Fabi's gone. Even I don't know where she went))
#ChaseForBook9
SNOW HI
LUCKY PERSON!
#ChaseForBook9
Ah! LSODM. Do you HAVE it?
Oh... Fabi :(
Msd
i am getting it today (hopefully!)
so, whats going on? *faceplants*
facplanting on the ground is fun *nods*
Sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs*
:P
name change
Right i guess its too quiet...*sits by lake*
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
OMG!!! FABI!!!!
I JUST READ A BIT FROM THE SHUNTING EXPERIMENT!!!
AMAZBALLS!!!!!!
*flexes fingers still in shock* Wow...I have not stone fingers! *laughs*
*hums*
weird....like...very weird
okay, so my latest blog post can be found here:
http://lonleysnow.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/its-been-while.html
Note: be careful, it is deadly-funneh!
Les Miserables....ooh
Thanks, Snow. [hugs]
I should probably mention this now: Once the collab officially starts, it might be better if you didn't read the drafts. I'm not sure everyone would be comfortable with it, and someone might decide to do a sudden plot twist, which would sort of be spoiled if you read it early.
#ChaseForBook9
ik, i was planning on stopping :P
just atm, i know my character was in it, so.... *shrugs*
g2g, byee!! *huggles all*
*disappears in a puff of cookie-scented smoke*
Bye Snow!
*sighs contentedly, falling asleep in the sand*
Sweet dreams Adra!
This is seriously hard to consider, in one years time roughly we shall be ready for the last SP book.... mean what whats going to happen? It's like a part of me is so going to die, I mean this is the first series I truly love and have been around for the most of the releases...and actually will be able to go back years from now and read LSODM and remember the day I first picked of Scepter of the Ancients. Do I regret it? Never. Throughout this whole thing it's like...a family, all of us. No matter age, gender, country, race...we're all one family. And it's so hard to believe that this is the second to last book coming out in roughly 45min over here where I am...I truly am crying thinking of this, it's so..scary, like holy crap one minute we were celebrating the release of KOTW and now here's LSODM and soon Book 9...I mean just this past year alone so many things happened, I met Derek twice, I own two signed books, I got into LSODM by some miracle, and I met so many people...I'm gonna cry...but...least I know even after Book 9 we will be together...and a new beginning. Wow long speeches at almost 11;30pm..
Half hour....*gulp*
oh gods sake
LAST STAND OF DEAD MEN
I dedictae this page to Last Stand of Dead Men, and to Derek for being such the brilliant writer he is. Without him we'd be well not here, so to the book and author. No matter how much he may have us tempted to strangle him from the feelings...I mean lets face it he DID write the series and is just jepic and I probably should stop making the ego expand...*nods bows and skips off to go to sleep*
I'm alone, aren't I?
*umbrella turns dark blue*
*retrieves umbrellas*
☂That's better.☂

Hi Ember! [hugs]
How are you?
#ChaseForBook9
☂HOW ARE YOU I FEEL LIKE WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN IN SO LONG FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AT ALL☂
☂When's the SE going to be done?☂
☂☂bounces up and down☂☂
☂☂umbrella turns pink☂☂
☂I'm really annoyed because I have to do a math test tomorrow and Mom is telling me that if I don't get a hundred percent she's going to be really angry and I won't pass...☂
☂_☂
☂I've decided to use my mood umbrella more, by the way, in case you haven't noticed, blah blah☂
I'm...okay...
Hopefully soon, but I don't know exactly. School started again, so I don't have as much time...
#ChaseForBook9
Yuck. :-/
Well, I hope you do well, then.
But everyone slips up sometimes, even geniuses. So even if you don't get a perfect score, remember that you're awesome, okay?
#ChaseForBook9
☂☂umbrella droops☂☂
☂Only okay?☂
☂Aw. Well, I know what it feels like when school starts and suddenly writing time becomes really sparse. And then when you DO have the time, you don't FEEL like it.☂
☂Thanks :)☂
☂Hey, during the SE, do we all land in the same place together or do we all land in different places?☂
☂And I may have to co-ordinate with the other people doing the SE to see if they want me to do anything specific with them or if they have any ideas about what to DO in this new dimension... because I don't want to drag them all off and find they don't want to do whatever I'm making them do!☂
Yeah...
I'm going to say the same at first.
You can just make everyone split up, and then write about only your characters. It should work. But there'll probably have to e some discussion in the about the dimension post.
#ChaseForBook9
☂Did you poof?☂
☂:(☂
☂☂umbrella goes dark blue again☂☂
☂☂umbrella sits in corner and weeps with imaginary eyes before sniffling with its imaginary nose☂☂
☂(I think I've gone mad today. I don't know why.)☂
☂Should is a scary word.☂
☂YOU DIDN'T POOF!☂
can i come out of the corner now
☂NO YOU CAN'T☂
I guess it is.
And no I didn't poof, but my sister is talking to me at the same time, so I'm a bit distant.
...what?
#ChaseForBook9
☂Don't... don't mind me, I... I should never read angsty things when I'm already not in a right state of mind☂
☂How many siblings do you have?☂
I just said "Should" in a very scary voice to my sister.
She laughed.
#ChaseForBook9
One.
Two.
I have a little sister, who is big, and I sort of have a brother, sort of don't.
#ChaseForBook9
☂XD☂
☂_☂ That was relatively confusing
☂How much younger is your sister than you?☂
☂...I think I didn't word that correctly.☂
Two years.
She's three inches taller than me, though. Possibly four.
And if popular vote has any relevance, we're fourteen year old twins. It's annoying.
#ChaseForBook9
☂XD☂
☂I live in a country with very short people, so I'm used to people thinking I'm sixteen, which is very odd. I'm sure people thinking you're younger is worse though.☂
Nel's rocking my chair back and forth and talking upside-down....
#ChaseForBook9
When I was twelve, people thought I was older, ironically enough. Now... I guess they think I'm older when my sister isn't around, but she's always around, so... Yeah.
#ChaseForBook9
Now she's talking (right side up) to the ceiling fan. [Facepalm]
#ChaseForBook9
☂What's wrong with talking to a ceiling fan??☂
☂☂joking☂☂
☂I HATE it when people rock my chair!☂
Nothing. If it answers back, then something's wrong.
She's stopped doing that. I think because she's pretending to be scared of my ear.
#ChaseForBook9
☂XDXDXDXD☂
☂She's pretending to be scared of your ear?☂
☂Does that actually make any sense?☂
Nel seldom makes sense.
"The squid condensed itself to fit in the doorway"
"Hweep-chop-chop"
"Concrete"
"Wheeeeeeeee!"
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, yeah, and the spider story.
#ChaseForBook9
☂This is really weird:☂
☂In one of my weeks in orchestra, we were conducted by this guy called CHRISTOPHER LEES☂
☂I'm now watching a clip from a film where Mycroft is played by a guy called CHRISTOPHER LEE☂
☂I feel like my life is one big coincidence sometimes.☂
☂The spider story? What spider story?☂
☂And why would the squid need to fit in a doorway that small, anyway? He should sue the makers of the building.☂
That is quite the coincidence.
[Thinks]
Hmm...
#ChaseForBook9
It's on my blog, I think. Or my retelling of it.
I have just asked her, and she's considering.
#ChaseForBook9
Sherlock: "In other words, you want me to stay within my limits."
Mycroft: "I do indeed."
Sherlock: "And speaking of limits, what exactly ☂(NO idea what he says after that)☂"
Mycroft: "Sherlock, when I said drop this case it was not merely a suggestion, IT WAS AN ORDER."
Sherlock: "By whose authority?"
Mycroft: "BY THE AUTHORITY OF HER MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT I HOPE I HAVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR"
John: *drops his hat on the floor and it rolls off*
☂Consideration is a good thing, sometimes.☂
☂This Mycroft has an umbrella. But it's this weird sandy light brown colour.☂
She has to go brush her teeth now, and I don't think she has actually come up with an answer to that.
"Mommy, look at my costume! I'm a Dark and Stormy Knight!"
"Someone email Bob and tell him his toast is burning."
#ChaseForBook9
☂Also, your profile says I can't look at it.☂
Hm.
I may have to go as well soon... :-/
