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?)

#ChaseForBook9
Chione, not again, please! Can't you keep annoying Adra and Mara? xD
*tackles Adra* *kisses her cheek*
She's mine, Castalan. We're engaged. Although... *thinks* I ate the ring. But.
#ChaseForBook9
Greetings once again!
*pokes Trip in the back of the neck, being invisible so he can't see him*
*tacklehugs Trip* you're never leaving!!!!!! Muhahaha stay with the madness of Madra!!!!!
*then goes and starts poking Mycroft*
Hello again, Mr Holmes! :)
Malik: *grins*
MARA.. *sinks to the ground*
*stares at Madra* oooooo you just lost your gf.
*holds out a cake* Mithria, I baked you a cake in my absence. Please eat it. I wouldn't want it to go to waste, and I'm supposed to be on a diet. Also, do not question why I baked you a cake. It's a cake. I felt like it. Eat.
Mycroft you liar! *covers her mouth* hehe...
☂MADra... XD☂
*sighs* Mr. Pine, please refrain from poking me.
*is using his tactical cloak - so is invisible*
vre2shbutwwi'gf ino
Justin Pierre AND Matt Taylor.
AND Claudio Rivera.
MCS is forming.
My feels. My mind. Aaaaah.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, Trip did. I feel the need to have that distinction. He's a character, and I'm me. We're different. For instance, he's a bit unhinged. Well, a lot.
Still. Grah! *disappears*
#ChaseForBook9
Why Mycroft? You like it? *runs away and hides behind Mith*
*raises eyebrow at Gemma*
Miss Verlaque.
It would be such a shame--not to mention a waste!--for a piece of this cake to be thrown at you.
Please refrain from commenting further.
Adra. *dramatically* Do you not want to show the world our love? It must not be hidden. *scream-sings* I CAN'T CHANGE EVEN IF I TRIED
#ChaseForBook9
☂UGH I HAVE TO POOF AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!☂
☂willl try and return!☂
Malik: *looks at Mith and laughs because of her face*
That's... um... that's very kind of you, Mr. Holmes. *takes the cake*
*turns to Chione* What exactely are you doing?
I'll catch it in my mouth, go! :3
MARA AH I CAN'T CHOOSE
Aww poor me...Mycroft left... no cake :(
*grins at Chione* /I/ have the cake^^
But, Adra, *sings* I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND ALL YOUR LITTLE THINGS YOU'RE INSECURE DON'T KNOW WHAT FOR
#ChaseForBook9
*takes a big bite out of it* aww thanks buddy. *kisses her cheek getting cake all over it and skips away*
The whole MCS is there and words and sounds and just playing musics and my mind is imploding or something, I don't even know.
*reads/listens/reads*
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes head* You're welcome... I guess^^
Im loving how well mara is taking the Madra RP. (Maybe she does really want her O.O)
Chione, I'm watching your blog, just saying it^^
(Chione this is not RP I will punch you Harry is mah man okay)
#ChaseForBook9
I'm glad you are pleased with my meager culinary skills.
•dark frown• Verlaque. That is not for you.
*bursts out laughing*
Oh god Mith I still havnt finished it yet. (Wbd)
...my teacher just almost gave me a detention because of being on blogger..... I won't be here at school anymore... Sorry.,. I think I'm going to I feel pretty awful
I was summoned here earlier...
Why??
It's all right, Mr Holmes, I allowed her to try the cake... I think...
Malik: *grins even more*
*glares at Malik* Stop that...
@Chione: No problem, and it would't be a problem either if you only finish it by tomorrow! Take you time!
... Oh, Adra... *hugs*
It's okay. Come on when you can. Don't feel like you have to. We'll see you later, alright? *hugs* Love you.
#ChaseForBook9
((I have maybe 45 min, then I'll have to leave... I'm sorry!)
Damit *writes lightning fast*
Chione, I said 'take you time!' xD
WHERE ARE YOU All???
*throws cheese at everyone, whilst being invisible*
Sorry, the MCS thing.
My mind is exploding. I'm noit really here.
*grins*
#ChaseForBook9
Im here hell yeah i got out of dancing!!! Hell yeah! Now i get to watch
You were dancing, Zaf? Cool! :)
*is not sure wether Ember/Mycroft is here or not*
*decides to wait*
We're learning early 1800's dances for the play but me and another girl are the housekeepers for this dance so we got out of dancing
Mithria... if you're still here...
Thank you very much for waiting for me.
It means a lot to me.
But unfortunately, I must go. I shall see you tomorrow--I hope!
That sounds really interesting! What play? I'm curious, sorry^^
Bye Dragona bye Ember!
*kisses her very lightly*
☂Mith I mean XD☂
☂GOING FOR REAL NOW☂
Pride and Prejuduce
@Mycroft: Of course I was waiting! And I will be waiting tomorrow! I'm sure we'll meet tomorrow! Goodbye! *smiles*
*blushes slightly*
@Zaf: Stolz und Vorurteil... I've heard about that^^
Awwww Mithcroft!!!!! I got shipped with Niccolò and we just were talking.....omg my iPad actually recognizes Niccolò as a name. Excellent.
Zaffy doesn't understand German *nods* See I took Spanish.
Done! Now I just need to post it... x.x
Sorry! Stolz und Vorurteil is pride and prejudice in German^^
@Chione: And I'm still here! *nods*
((OHMYGOSH MITHCROFT IS GOING TO KILL ME))
#ChaseForBook9
Ari, I'm sure we won't kill you! I don't want to kill you, anyway!
ARETHA!!!!!!! Omfg i msd though it IS possible until 5pm that i can poof
((I AM GOING TO DIE FROM SPAZZING BECAUSE MITHCROFT IS TOO CUTE!!!))
#ChaseForBook9
*grins at Ari* I can't help... xD
((Assume that I msd until two hours and twenty minutes from now..))
#ChaseForBook9
I now have everyone shipping Nafira I know.....I just gave them tiny summary of Niccolò and I now am being shipped *hides* DONT KILL ME NICCOLÒ
*skips into Blogland* *laughs* No one is going to kill you, Zaf. Who's shipping you now?
#ChaseForBook9
And I still don't know who exactely Niccolò is...
Mith he is my damn love. I love him.
Ari like all my friends at school and now drama.....
But... if he is your love... why not shipping you two?
*steps out of shadows* That would be I. *offers hand* It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.
#ChaseForBook9
Congratulations, Derek!
My brother John will probably be getting married in June, and I'm already looking forward to be an aunt. :3
Niccolò.....he isnt the type to ship himself. He hates attention and thinks honestly I shouldnt like him for the things that he did, killed and tortured for like 500yrs but i think that he's crazy to think that.
Few people have shipped myself and Zafira before now because I have already fallen for Aretha.
#ChaseForBook9
*shakes hands*
Pleased to meet you.
Hello Edward, and Skyril.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes the....fallingfor Aretha....*sighs* Yeah. Right.
hello niccolo
*wispers at Zaf* So... he is the one, Alexis calls... Coco? Or am I completely wrong at the moment?
Greetings and salutations, everybody! :]
No, Mithria, you are correct. There are several people here who call me that.
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Skyril! :)
hello skyril
Oops... you weren't meant to hear that... but good to know.
Alexis does call him Coco....*looks at Niccolò*
I can hear your heart beating, Mithria. There is little I do not hear.
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Niccolò* Oh...
*is not sure wether to be scared or not*
So you know if I'm nervous because my heart would beat faster....
*walks up to cell door and watches corridor*
How're all of you?
Ed, aren't you in prison?
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry I poofed, I had to do ironing for Home Ec homework... -.-
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, nevermind.
#ChaseForBook9
yes, i am in this cell in the american sanctuary
Yeah offcially I think I scared Niccolò....Ari is he scared of me? I feel bad now....I hate upsetting him he deserves friends he's been alone too long.
Zaf, how could you scare anyone?
Oh Niccolò be proud I actually am learning an early 1800's dance soon...I think.
Niccolò....I managed before. I have done the impossible to scare him, Mith.
zaf, how long am i in this cell?
I can also hear your thoughts, Mithria. You have every reason to be afraid of me.
Yes, Zafira, I always know when you're nervous.
#ChaseForBook9
I've always wondered, of one of us Bloglandians becomes famous, will fans of that said person come on and fangirl over them, do you think? Because, I don't want to be absolutely rude and horrible and disrespectful, but Blogland is our place, and I'd hate to see people coming on who don't have a clue what SP is...
I mean, it would be great if that said person had loads of fans, but...
Am I being selfish? Sorry /:
#ChaseForBook9
*is now officially afraid of Niccolò*
*hugs Zaf* Can't believe that.
*smirks* You're special Niccolò not many people can read my emotions or get me to calm down.
Edward, all of eternity. I am mad with you. You broke soooooo many laws. As Grand Mage I now sentence you to....10000yrs in the gaol in Arizona where Scarab was.
*Chase walks in beside Em, carrying Lorcan*
Chase: Well you don't scare me Niccolo.
Em: Shush Chase.
10,000 years? what about a trial?
Chase thank you! I swear Aretha and I were the only two who didn't! Mith dont be afraid Niccolò is cuddly.
What trial? I can ask Niccolò who went back in time and got you. You dont get a trial.
I doubt we'll have to worry about that, Maralie...
I understand what you're getting at, though.
See, even if that DID happen, the fans would have a thousand people talking to him, convincing him to read Skulduggery Pleasant anyway, so he'll become a fan.
no trial, you cant sentence me without a trial
Not really Ed. You tried to kill every human ever, and in the process create a time paradox and destroy the universe. You're lucky to be alive.
#ChaseForBook9
Yes I can. MSD
Yes i gtg now be back soon
Is anybody listening to music?
fine, but will i even live 10,000 years without magic?
You get no trial. End of.
Zaf, I fear no one.
#ChaseForBook9
I gtg as well... won't be back soon. Means I'll go to sleep now^^ Night all! :)
bye zaf
Probably not Ed. Have fun!
I'm just listening to the radio Skyril. :P
#ChaseForBook9
bye mithria
Bye Zaf, Mith.
#ChaseForBook9
Skyril - *cough*Luci*cough*
But... Meh. Never mind. Sorry.
I'm listening to Avril Lavigne, Little Mix and One Direction, btw.
#ChaseForBook9
@Trip
Ah, I was just curious... Have you ever head of Pandora.com? It's website where you can enter a song or artist, and it will come up with other songs similar to that one... You have to watch a commercial every now and then, and you can only skip a certain amount per hour, but it's free. :]
Have you ever heard of Peter Hollens?
*cleaver opens cell for food* ok then *punches cleaver as mages appear* i will not wait 10,000 years *energy is thrown**turns to dust*
Skyril - *cough*Luci*cough*
But... Meh. Never mind. Sorry.
I'm listening to Avril Lavigne, Little Mix and One Direction, btw.
#ChaseForBook9
No, I haven't Skyril. Who is he?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh.
@Trip
Oh, he's a youtube singer... Most of his songs are different than this one, but The Rains of Castamere is my favorite... closely followed by his rendition of Empty Chairs and Empty Tables from Les Miserables.
This is the Rains of Castamere...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4dc0OjFAw8&list=FLrrFDj8eA410v1XslN97MMg
I love the lyrics:
And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear.[1]
Ugh this book is so boring /:
I have to read it for school ;-;
#ChaseForBook9

I dedicate this page to Les Miserables.
And I dedicate this page to rain.

Hello Emerald, Chase. If you are still here. Apologies for the late comment.
