Happy Christmas (Tour is Over)

I thought the title of this entry was smart and funny, effectively conveying the relief at another tour being over and done with in a winning and whimsical manner. But how many of you are going to miss the John Lennon reference and just puzzle at the "Happy Christmas| part? Ah well. Too late now to go changing it.

So, another tour bites the dust. This was a fun one, lots of people turning up, lots of glares and scowls and cakes and pictures and fist-bumps and many, many moody looks into camera... All in a day's work, really. Thanks to everyone who came along — it was tiring but I had a blast.

And now I'm home, and it's time to get organised.

There's going to be some cool news coming your way over the next few weeks and months. Some of it will make you go "Cool!" and some of it will make you grin. Some of it, of course, will make you weep, as it's coming up to that time when I'll have to start plotting out Book Nine. Most of you will still be reeling from the events of LSODM, so you'll know not to trust me. For some reason, the tagline from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre is floating through my head...

"Who will survive, and what will be left of them?"

The good news is, now that the pressure of editing and touring is off, I'll be able to get back to my regular (ahem) blogging and Twitter routine, so I should be chatting to you guys a little more often than I have been. Hopefully.

The fact is, I'm going to be incredibly busy for the next year. Want a brief rundown on what I have ahead of me?

1) Plot, write and finish Book Nine by March.

2) Work on Mystery Project 2.

3) Write 10 brand new short stories for the Skulduggery Collection out next Summer.

4) Work on Mystery Project 3.

5) Devise, plan and start writing New Book Series by September 2014.

6) Work on Mystery Project 4.


All that, and blog and tweet and play with my nieces. Oh, and my nephew.

Nephew, you say? But Golden God, you don't HAVE a nephew. I do now, gentle Minion. Born this afternoon, weighing in at over 9 pounds, Baby Skulduggery is now part of my Baby Army of Terror, and he is to be feared.

(Okay fine, my sister hasn't OFFICIALLY named him Baby Skulduggery, but come on... How could she NOT?)

Hey :D

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

I'm up for it Ari! I also wanna meet John Smith so badly but hey..either or

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Realises I've already said that* *facepalms*
Anyway, what's this parallel universe?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

It's a universe parallel to this one, so all of us are there, but a few things are different. Most of our lives are pretty different, things like that.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*nods again*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Sounds great :D

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

Fun fact: in Spain they have a 2hrs nap in the day and also have dinner around 9-10pm!

Noelle said...

*writes* siesta. And Italy eats at 9 as well

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

Seriously?! Thats weird! I don't know if I'd like eating at 9pm

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Alright then, sweet! *pulls a circular object that looks like a silver marble out of pocket and throws it hard on the ground* *it hits the grass and spreads into a perfect circle on the ground* *its surface is flat and resembles that of a mirror, but appears to be melting, even though it doesn't actually move or change shape* We just step through here, like this. *takes a step into the puddle and sinks in, leaving ripples in the liquid-y flatness behind me*

Just a quick note guys:

Anyone trying to get onto the Minecraft server at the moment, it is down because Mojang (Minecraft's company) is having technical issues.

https://help.mojang.com/

Sorry guys, will let you know when Blogland is back up and running.

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

*shrugs and follows Ari slightly confused* woah freaky!

Noelle said...

*all but flings herself through with curiosity*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Em! *tacklehugs* Thanks for the notice. How are you?

#ChaseForBook9

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

((Damn okay Em! Was about to go on too thanks for saving me from anger at the computer))

Noelle said...

*nods to Em*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

I used to live in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and it got SO hot in the middle of the day D: We didn't take naps though.
Yeah, a lot of Europe does that. In some places in France, they go home for a two hour lunch break! But because of that they finish school at six.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*on the other side, everyone finds themselves in the Blogland clearing, which looks almost exactly the same ((You guys can make up a few subtle differences if you want.))* I'll go grab Niccolo- be right back! You guys go explore stuff. *steps through the puddle on the ground* *the puddle disappears*

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Em! *hugs*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Because this is a parallel universe, no one can teleport/shadow travel/portal in or out. The marble I have is special. The TARDIS can't even get into these.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*curiously runs forward, looking around*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Takes a deep breath*
*Mutters to self* If... they're on the other side... I have to go. *Takes a few steps and jumps into the puddle*
(Just a note; SaphTC doesn't know her family. I might make them be on the other side o_O)

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

*looks around wandering to my treehouse* yay treehouse! *climbs up and goes to explore the one difference now is in Alexis' room i see a picture on her dresser of her and a boy* thats Niccolò's nephew...

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Go for it, Saph! The parallel world is pretty much the same, except there are a lot more happy endings. So it's totally feasible that they'd be there.))

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Thanks Ari!
Wbd, underwater hockey homework

Noelle said...

*shoves her hands in her pockets, walking around*

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

((Ari I emailed you something I wanted to know something happy :D))

*looks and sees that Javier's stuff is in our room* so we don't split...*smiles sadly*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Slowly walks around, taking in every detail and craning her neck to look at the sky*
*Shivers*
It's so familiar, but it feels so strange...

Noelle said...

*taps the earth and waits*

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

*continues walking looking at Olivia's room* aww she has such cute handwriting!

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Is shaking and wandering aimlessly through the woods* Where would I be?
*Leans against a tree and breathes deeply*
I'll go to the Sanctuary. I could be there.

Noelle said...

*has no idea where she is*

Hmm... *makes a sound- in hopes herself will recognize it*

Noelle said...

((20% battery))

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

((Your phone will not die Adra it will LIVE))

*looks around more* so happy and....Alivia is alive

Harry Styles (IT'S MARA JUST CLARIFYING) said...

*walks into Blogland* Hello, has anyone seen Mara?

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*walks into the clearing* Hello A- *coughs a bit* Pardon me. Hello, Adra.

#ChaseForBook9

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

((We're all in the other universe exploring Mara!))

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

*comes down to the clearing* Coco!

Alvard Nemesis said...

Im back

Noelle said...

*waves*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Wanders out of the edge of the woods*
Oops. I must've been off course. This isn't the Sanctuary!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Hey Harry. *smiles* All the others are exploring a parallel universe. If you want, when you find Mara, you guys can go check it out, too.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*shakes head no to Harry*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Same goes for you, Alvard! Anybody who wants to go, walk through this puddle! *throws silver marble on the ground and it makes a puddle* *anyone who walks through it will end up in the Blogland clearing in a parallel universe*

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Alvard and Mara! *hugs*
My God, I'm almost home! *Starts to run*
Will I be there?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Note- once you're here, your parallel self will not be here.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Ah. So Adra isn't here. I guess I could leave a note...

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

*looks* will I see Alexis?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((You'll see her, unless the one from your universe comes into the parallel one.))

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Hmm... And where do the parallel universe us go?

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

((Awesome!))

AlexisP: *comes in looking around* I thought you had work!

I'm not entirely from here...

AlexisP: what do you mean? Not that other...oh! Do you know Niccolò there?

Yea I do actually he and I are friends.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Laughs* This is crazy!
*Turns onto my street* It looks different. There's less houses. The school... it's bigger. And my house *stops in front of it*
I was adopted and grew up here. I was more my home than anywhere else. I could trace all the scratches and stains and dents blindfolded. *Looks straight up at my window* *Stumbles backwards and sits down on kerb*
It was blue! I painted each of the windowsills a different colour, and I'm sure mine was blue!
*Is terrified, but slowly reaches out and with a trembling finger, presses the bell*

Noelle said...

Call me crazy, but I don't exactly fancy finding about my past... First of all, unless my parents are like 800 years old and somehow are still alive... They won't be here. So... *shrugs, observing*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Mumbles something about ghosting but not feeling like talking]

((Note that I don't generally spy by politely informing people of my presence.))

#ChaseForBook9

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

AlexisP: does he have a nephew?

Not that we know of

AlexisP: *grins* you ought to meet someone then

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Ari; Well, that's useful to know :D

*The door opens to reveal a blond girl my age, barefoot and with a stack of books under one arm*
*Blinks* Scarlet?!
Scarlet; Uh, hi! *Looks over her shoulder* Um, who are you?
Me; *Looks past Scarlet and sees my sisters eating breakfast and teasing each other*
*Suddenly can't breathe*
Me; Nevermind. It was lovely to meet you. Take care, and have a great life. *Turns and runs off, leaving Scarlet staring after me in confusion*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Fabs! *hugs*

Noelle said...

*waves to the not-there Fabi*

*picks a flower from the ground, pinning it into her hair*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Walks randomly through the streets, tears on my cheeks*
I can't believe she didn't recognise me...
But if they don't know me, then where am I?

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Aw... Saphy, what's wrong? *goes over and hugs her*

#ChaseForBook9

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

It's silent

AlexisP: *grins* I wonder what its like over by you

You....are single and are 'siblings' with Niccolò I honestly think he's grown fond of you

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Also, what are the odds of you being here, crying, me being here, thinking. Weird, huh?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*looks strangely at Trip*
*has no idea which one it is*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hey Trip! *hugs*
Oh, sorry for worrying you. It's just roleplay. We're all in a parallel dimension and SaphTC just went to find her adopted sisters, the only family she's ever known (She doesn't remember her real parents) and they didn't recognise her :(

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

They're very nice streets, aren't they?

Sorry, I got distracted by the pretty lights. Why are you sad, young'n?

#ChaseForBook9

Goodbye now.

So, I heard a thing about a little human trafficking cartel around here. I don't know about you but I always find punching some lowlifes a quite therapeutic.

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Me; *Crouching down and speaking softly* That's okay. Are you alright?
Little boy; *Shakes head shyly*
Me; Have you lost your parents?
Little boy; *Nods slowly*
Me; Okay. What's your name?
Little boy; *quietly* Robin.
Me; That's a lovely name. Do you want me to give you a piggyback so you can look around for Mummy and Daddy?
Robin; *Nods enthusiastically*

*Helps Robin onto my back, marvelling at the fact I'm giving my brother a ride for the first time*

Robin; You look like Lucy.
Me; *Distractedly, trying to scan the crowd* Who's Lucy;
Robin; Lucy's my big sister! She's tall and brave and she tickles me a lot. *Starts to play with my hair* But she has shorter hair. And it's bl- bal- bla-
Me; Blond?
Robin; Yeah! *Giggles* Are you Lucy? (Note; that's a random name, not my real given name)
Me; I think I might be. But's it's a secret, Robin. Can you keep a secret?
Robin; Yup! *Lets go of my neck and points* There's mummy and daddy!

It's an Irish name, me thinks. Idk.

*Looks over at where my brother is pointing* There's two people- a young woman and a man. They don't really look like me.
Me; *Barely speaking* That's Mummy and Daddy?
Robin; Mummy! Daddy! *Waves at them*
*The woman turns around, sees Robin and her eyes light up* Robin! Where have you been?

*Carries Robin over and paces him down gently*
*Tries not to look too hard at my parents* Robin was wandering around and ran into me.
Robin; The nice girl saved me!

*Father picks him up and swings Robin around*
Thank you so much for finding him! (To Robin) Don't you run off again, okay little man?

Woman; Yes, thank you. *Pauses and stares at me*
Me; I know, Robin told me I look like his sister *Is still fussing over him, too scared to look up*

Woman; I'm sorry. It's just very uncanny. *Touches my arm* But again, thank you.

*Looks up for the first time, and realises that her eyes are the same colour as my own. Her hair and her face are different, but the way she smiles is just like me*

*Barely manages to speak* You're welcome. I'm glad I met him. *Glances at my father who is smiling at me with a little bit of confusion but a lot of happiness*
I'm glad I met all of you. *Hugs Robin and kisses him on the head*
Now be a good boy, and remember that your sister loves you very much.
*Takes one last look at the life I could've had- content, loved, but mortal- before turning to walk away*

Trip; What? *Stops and stares* You were following me! *Resists the urge to punch him* And fyi, no. My earliest memory is age six, waking up from three days of sickness and fever. I don't remember anything before that and I'd never seen my family before. *Takes a deep breath, because she's close to breaking down/ punching you*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey! You were the only person from our world around! I thought we should stick together! If you /happened/ to meet your parents at the same time, is that my problem?

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Sorry- just got back.))

Well... I- I know a few things, I guess... Things that Aretha and Niccolò knew... The two of them were just too weak this time...

#ChaseforBook9

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

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*takes a deep breath and stands a little straighter, fixing her already perfect hair* My name is Clara Mercy Delcourte. I'm a sensitive.

Zafira- No, he isn't. But he's hours away from here. They... Well, they were both a hair away from death at the beginning of the week. They would still be recovering now as it was. But the parallel Niccolò and Aretha kept draining their energy, making sure they couldn't recover. They knew what was going on but they couldn't warn you.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

My two favourite accounts are now folLOWING ME ON IG WHAT IS AIR

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

((*hsm-wise* I KNOW YOU CAN))

Um... And what the hell is going on?

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

NO!!!! *screams in anger* This is....I'm done. Done. I'm sick of everytime I'm /happy/ some person/thing messes it up!!! *punches tree* I want to get Niccolò back before I lose the one god damn male in my life who I can handle being around because right now I want to kill someone. I want...I give up in my life. Let them have mine it isn't worth it I'll never be happy because as usual nothing goes my way. Whatever.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*shakes head slightly, and fixes hair again* Oh, and I sell art.

*sighs* As for what's going on- this world is dying. I don't think you can tap into its energy here, but I can feel it. It's burning up from the inside. I know it feels like an average day, but the whole planet is actually predicted to explode by the end of the month. The people were desperate. They needed an escape. The best experts in the world got together, and eventually they found our universe. They weighed their options, and decided the only way to survive was to take our places.

Zafira, if you keep that attitude, they'll win. They think they can beat us because they have more happiness in their lives, and they get along much better. They're not easily discouraged, and they work together really well. If we give up we prove them right.
