Nerdy Dalek

As was recently pointed out to me, "Nerdy Dalek" is an anagram of my name, so I suppose it's only fitting that my birthday should be the day my Doctor Who story comes out on ebook. The Mystery of the Haunted Cottage is a Tenth Doctor adventure and I had unimaginable fun writing it. For those of you who don't read ebooks, fret not- a physical book, containing all eleven stories by eleven writers, will be arriving late next month.

Ah yes, my birthday. I am 39 today. Some people might worry about reaching that age — just one more birthday till 40, after all. But not me. I shall live forever. And I don't mean in a metaphorical sense. I don't mean I'll live forever in the hearts and minds of my readers. I mean I will literally live forever, drawing as I do from your pain and suffering.

Your pain makes me strong.

Today is the day I knuckle down and officially start Book 9. I've been writing bits and pieces of it for the last few weeks — I've got close to 10,000 words done — but today it kicks off properly. October 23rd is, of course, the day Skulduggery died, hundreds of years ago. Once again, I think it's only fitting that I begin his final book on such a date. Poignant, even.

Sniffle.

*A cracking sound comes from Lorcan's mouth as some of his teeth crack as he grits them hard in pain. His arms start spasming as blood oozes freely from his nose.*

Well, then.

My cousin's uncle died two days ago. I never knew him, but I could tell a lot of people were upset about it. Everyone said he was such a nice man. I did some prying and figured out how he died.

Suicide.

He thought there was no other way out. So he killed himself. He took his life. And all of my family were upset. My mother was bawling her eyes out, which was a scary sight. My cousin, who I have never seen upset before, literally collapsed and broke down. Her dad couldn't talk to anyone. He was totally and utterly shocked and just... in pain.

So, I don't care who you are. If you're depressed and think everyone hates you, if you're happy and have that odd moment of sadness once in a while, if you're in between or if you're totally different,


Don't


You


Dare


Give


Up.

My cousin's uncle thought nobody would miss him.

But everyone does.

Don't you fucking dare take your own life. Ever.
It never solves anything. If anything, it makes it worse for people around you. I'm not saying anything against suicidal people, but; you think nobody cares?

You're wrong.

Somebody does care.


Even if it's a random person you chatted to a few times, somebody cares.


So, I guess I dedicate to that somebody.
I know I have a few.

Noelle said...

*the toy train glances off her head*

Ouch. Man,

((Yeah but that was really nice to.. Read. *hugs*))

Jophiel said...

I'M FINE! *Continues storming through the trees then pauses* Shut the Hell up, you son of a bitch. *Listens* No. They do like me... *Her voice wavers* No... But- You're right... They don't, do they...? *Kicks a tree and curses as a few bones shatter*

Star Inkbright said...

Star: *hugs Mara* My friend's friend's dad committed suicide and dhe's still really cut up about it . . . Thank you for saying it. People need telling. *hugs* I ded one of my undedded pages to your cousin's uncle and his family . . .

Hunter: *snorts* You think stealing is winning at life? Good luck there.
And - not for long. *chucks fork at her*

(There is a song that I hate called Last Friday Night, so to make it more bearable for me I made a Blogland parody of it. It's called Chase For Book Nine.)

Dammit now I'm dead,
True names screaming in my head
Glitter all over the room
And were acting like we’re fools
Getting drunk in Trip’s bar
And Blogland is never far
Your taken name is all you choose
We don’t care if you win or lose

Role-plays from last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a comment-blocked blur
But I'm pretty sure
It ruled
Damn

#ChaseforBookNine
Yeah, we brought down Chaos
In a storm of lightning shots
Think I RPed but I forgot

#ChaseforBookNine
Yeah, we maxed the comment limit
And got kicked out of the post
But we made the best of it

#ChaseforBookNine
Epic battles in the park
Fighting on against the dark
We just went out for a lark
#ChaseforBookNine
Yeah I think we broke the law
But I don’t care it’s just a blog
Oh-oh-oh-oh

#ChaseforBookNine
Do it all again
#ChaseforBookNine
In Blogland

Trying to connect the dots
Who is where and doing what
Think a demon llama ate my car
Chandeliers on the floor
Cracked my favorite battle armor
Someone’s out another name
Think I need a cup of tea
Blogland’s where I want to be

Ah, don't wirry, there's seven billion on the market. Um, I think I'm hallucinating this conversation, or just making it up, possibly. Okay. Hopefully see you guys soon? Adra, you're dying. Possibly.

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

*crawls over to Judi and pins to ground* I'll kill you!!!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: Harry! Come quick!

Harry: *runs in* Mara, are you alright? What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did-

Mara: *smiles* Shh. Come here.

Harry: *sits beside Mara* What's-

Mara: *takes Harry's hand* *places it on her stomach*

Harry: *eyes widen* It kicked...!

Mara: *smiles* Yeah.

Harry: Already? Is it meant to kick so soon? I mean, it's wonderful that it did, but-

Mara: Hazza, stop worrying. I'm sure everything's fine. *hugs*

Harry: *kisses* Okay boo.

(Dick van Dyke is a marvelous man!))

The Grave of a Coward said...

*crawls away from Dyke*
Thank you for saving me, and all, but I *cough* I really should be on my way!
*pushes herself to her feet*
*stumbles, blinking, into the sunlight of the street*
Wow . . . I almost died . . .

*stares at the sky*
*shrugs*
*continues on her way*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(Dick van Dyke IS a marvelous man indeed)

Emerald Melody said...

(Jaysus lol never get a threat from Death while she has a Judhipor profile pic lol)

Drew: I know sweetie, I know. No one wants him to die either.

But in the long run it would be better for him. Even if he comes out of this, he will still have to live with silver after effects. And we don't know what they could be.

Jophiel said...

*Laughs and repulses the gravity between Zaf and herself, fling Zaf into the air* You will not kill me, sweet heart!

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

Alexis: Can't we find a way to heal him?

*screams and hits tree*

The Grave of a Coward said...

I wonder what I shall see, walking down the street.
It is Blogland, after all, a world built entirely of imagination. I could see any number of things. Look!
*glances to the left*
A Church of Derek! Look at all the little Derek priests going about their business, preaching from Playing With Fire at the pulpit. And look!
*glances to the left*
An all-Necromancer fight club! Better not be a Life-Giver walking near one of those, eh?
*chuckles*
And what's that over there? Oh, just another unicorn rodeo.

*stops*
*studies the sign*
Sign: 500 BUCKS TO WHOEVER CAN SURVIVE 500 BUCKS FROM A RAMPANT UNICORN.

. . .
Well, I'm always up for new things.
*strolls in*

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: I would sweetheart but there has never been a known case of a cured werewolf from silver.

All cases have either been that they have just waited through the poisoning or they have died.

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

Alexis: There must be a way! I'm not losing him because some bastards shot him. What haven't you tried? Something must reverse the effects! Feeding?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: No Lexi, you can't feed him. That will only makes things worse.

I know you want to find a way because I want to find a way too but there is no way.

Sir said...

For the record, if I was at the stadium, I would have clapped.

Jophiel said...

*Slowly stands up and brides her hair back. Looks up to Zaf in the sky and speeds up next to her* Sweetie, if you try to kill me, I'll drop you.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm gone

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

Alexis: He'll die....I can't...do this! I don't wand him dead.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: AND NOW, INTRODUCING THE UNICORNS! FOOOOOOOR TESTOSTERONE!

*gate bangs open*
*a small, limber-looking white unicorn prances into the center of the arena and begins to sing sweetly at the sky*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: FOOOOOOR STERLING!

*gate bangs open*
*a light-as-air-looking unicorn gently picks its way to the center of the area, leaving a fresh spring breeze in its wake*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: FOOOOOOOR PRECOCIOUS!

*gate flies off it's hinges*
*a massive, eight-foot tall coal-black unicorn charges into the center, screeching like a falcon, eyes blazing orange fire, muscles churning beneath its flesh, and a four-foot-long horn encrusted with dried blood projecting from its iron-hard skull*

Jophiel said...

(Bye Mara babe!!))

Sir said...

Well, good bye, Ms. Maralie.

Jophiel said...

(Hey Sir!!

Doctor... I'm loving reading this!!))

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

Don't drop me!!! *looks petrified*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Oh . . . oh dear . . .

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: MOUNT YOUR UNICORNS!

*Testosterone mounts his unicorn*
*unicorn's legs get a bit wobbly under his weight*

*Sterling mounts her unicorn*
*unicorn looks ready to collapse*


*very gingerly approaches her unicorn*
Please . . . please hold still . . .
*unicorn spews fire into the air*
Oh my . . .
*closes eyes*
*leaps onto unicorn's back*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: BEGIN!


*falls off*

Jophiel said...

*Laughs sweetly* Darling, you're not going to kill me, are you? *Lets Zaf drop for a few feet before catching her*

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

No! *is screaming*

The Grave of a Coward said...

No! NO!
*leaps onto unicorn*
*clings to his fur*

*unicorn leaps into the air, spewing fire and screaming*
*runs in manic circles*
*while leaping up and down*
*twelve feet in the air*

*screaming*
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*stadium is howling approval*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: AND HOW ARE THE OTHERS GETTING ON?

Testosterone: *sitting on his unicorn*
*who is beginning to drool rainbows*
*he gives the thumbs-up* S'all good.

Sterling: *sitting on her unicorn*
*checking her fingernails*
No complaints here!


*black unicorn waves horn wildly*
*almost slicing off Precocious's head*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Jophiel said...

Good girl! *Slowly places Zaf back on the ground as joins her. Sends a kick to her jaw and an elbow to the nose*

Jophiel said...

(Damn. EM! IM CRYIG OVER LORCAN AGAIN!!)$

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: Well then we just have to wait until the worst of it subsides Lexi.

I wish there was someone or thing that could help but there is nothing.

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

*moves away and sends shadows at* What did I do?!

The Grave of a Coward said...

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: IT LOOKS LIKE PRECOCIOUS IS HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH HER UNICORN!

*unicorn hurls her off*
*its hooves thunder down around her*
AHHHHHHHHH!

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: OOOH, UNLESS SHE CAN GET BACK ON WITHIN FIVE SECONDS, SHE IS DISQUALIFIED!

Guy Named Fred: Yeah! Come on, Doc! I've got good money riding on you!

*hoof hits her in the head*
AUGH!
*rolls onto her back*
*unicorn stares down murderously*
Ack!
I'm going to die!
Gored by a unicorn!
*unicorn is about to stab her in the face*

*grabs its horn*
*unicorn bucks wildly*
*flinging her onto its back by accident*

Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
That's how I do IIIIIIIT!
*screams as unicorn begins charging towards Sterling*
Look out!

Sterling: AHHHHHHHH!
*leaps off her unicorn*
*Precocious's unicorn kicks Sterling's unicorn in the face as it passes, knocking it out*

Stadium audience: OOOOOH!

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

Alexis: My mother is a Necromancer she has a way with healing with her own magic reversing death

Jophiel said...

*Ducks under the shadows* Sweetie, don't you see the hole in my shirt? I really liked this shirt. It went so well with so many of my outfits and now it has a hole in it. *Glares at Zaf* You will never be forgiven.

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

*falls to knees screaming* Make it stop!!!

Emerald Melody said...

Drew: he's not dead yet Lexi. And plus his wolf, which is nothing but a blood thirsty animal, is fighting to get out as well.

-IN LORCAN'S DREAM STATE-

*Looks around the clearing of the woods, confused*

Lorcan: Where the hell am I?

A place where we can finally speak

*Lorcan turns around to see the 7 foot brown coloured werewolf behind him*

Lorcan: Are you...

I am your wolf

The Grave of a Coward said...

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: SINCE SHE DID NOT GET BACK ON HER UNICORN WITHIN FIVE SECOND, STERLING IS OUT!

Sterling: What!? No! That's only because my unicorn is upside-down!

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: NO EXCUSES!

*still clinging to her unicorn*
*unicorn slams her into the wall*
AUGH!
*unicorn does it again*
*and again*
*and then bounces Precocious 20 feet in the air*

The Crowd: *goes wild*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: THIS GIRL'S BETTER THAN A RODEO CLOWN!

Guy Named Fred: You go, Precocious!

The Crowd: Go Precocious, go!

Testosterone: Hey! What about me!?
*his unicorn starts singing the My Little Pony theme song*
It's taking all my strength to subdue this vicious beast!

Jophiel said...

*Doesn't react to Zaf's words in any way, other than moving closer and peering at her*

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

Alexis: He isn't dying. Not on my watch.

It hurts when you glare!!!

Jophiel said...

*Smiles at Zaf but keeps her glare* That's the point, *Takes out a few knives from her jacket and starts trailing the blades in Zaf's flesh*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*unicorn tosses Precocious in the air again*
*and again*

AHHHHHHH!

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: THIS CHICK IS CRAY-CRAY!!!!!!!

*gives him a desperate look*
Someone save me, my unicorn is starting to foam at the mouth!

*unicorn stampedes Testosterone*

Testosterone: *screams like a girl*

*the black unicorn's horn shears through his red uniform*
*he's dangling on the end of its horn now*

Testosterone: AHHHHHHHHH!

AHHHHHHH!

Testosterone: AHHHHHHHH!

AHHHHHHHHHH!

*unicorn leaps over Sterling and her unicorn*
*centrifugal force sends Testosterone flying off the unicorn*
*he sails into the crowd*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: I THINK WE HAVE A CLEAR WINNER HERE, FOLKS!

*unicorn keeps charging*

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: HINT: IT'S YOU, PRECOCIOUS! HA! YOU CAN LET GO OF THE UNICORN, NOW!

I caaaaan't, he's out of controooooool!
*unicorn stampedes out of the arena*
*Precocious still clinging to him*

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

*my screams echo around* What....did....I....Do?! *has a fearful look as if I'm remembering something horrible*

Emerald Melody said...

-LORCAN'S MIND-

Lorcan: What do you want?

Let me out Lorcan and we'll both stay alive.

Lorcan: But you'll kill everyone...

So what, you want to spend your last days strapped to a hospital bed while your love's heart slowly breaks?

Lorcan: Of course not.

Then let me out Lorcan and we can help one another


*Lorcan suddenly wakes up from his dream with a huge gasp as he feels his wrists tugging on the straps*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*unicorn stampedes down the street*

Help! Help me! It's gone berserk!

*unicorn leaps into the air*
*flinging Precocious into the air*
*unicorn slams headfirst into a building*
*getting its horn stuck*
*it struggled violently to free itself*

Oh noooooooooo!
*falls five stories*
*lands on an awning outside a pharmacy*
*bounces into the air*
*lands on the pavement*

Ow . . .

Monster Truck Rally Commentator: *walks up to her*
CONGRATULATIONS! HERE'S YOUR 500 BUCKS!
*places bag of 500 little plastic deer on the pavement next to her*
*walks away*

. . .
. . .
I HATE UNICORNS!




The End

Jophiel said...

*Stops glaring and pats Zaf's cheek* You destroyed my favourite shirt. *Straightens up and raises and eyebrow* No one ever destroys my favourite shirts. Death blew up the company so they can't make them anymore. *Kicks under Zaf's jaw*

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

Alexis: Lorcan what...?

Jophiel said...

*Hugs Precocious* That was epic.))

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

*cries out and shadows curl around Judi's leg like daggers*

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan lies his bed back down*

Lorcan: I just... I had a bad dream. I'm okay now.

The Grave of a Coward said...

(That was EXHAUSTING is what it was.)

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

Alexis: *goes and sits beside* Alright I'm here still I won't leave *smiles*

Jophiel said...

*Cries out in pain and quickly composes herself* Ow... *Sends a knife deep into Zafira's side, twisting it before pulling back out*

Jophiel said...

(Anni, that was freaking epic.))

The Grave of a Coward said...

(*sigh*
I dedicate this page to life, the universe, and everything. To Winchester sofas and salmons of doubt, to clip-boards and insults and Norse gods and space-travel. To journalists and Ford Prefects and guides to the universe.
I dedicate it, in short, to stuff and their things.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I guess now Precocious can say that yes, she has experienced a unicorn rodeo, and no, it was not fun.)

Jophiel said...

(Hear hear!! *Raises knife coated in Zaf's blood*))

Sir said...

Well naturally. Unicorns tend to be extremely rude to most people.

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

*a scream escapes my lips and I finally calm down* Trying to kill me?!

Jophiel said...

*Nods an hides the pain on her face* Yep! Ow. Shoot. *Sends another knife into Zaf's side, twisting then pulling it back out*
