Ah, Darquesse...

Those lucky Minions who made it to the Imagine festival last week got the LSODM paperback early, but I couldn't let them be the ONLY ones who get to marvel at Tom Percival's back cover, so here you go...



Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious?

The paperback will be released for everyone else on the 27th of March, and because we are very, very smart people, we will be releasing the paperback of The Maleficent Seven, which takes place BEFORE LSODM, on the 8th of May. 

Just to confuse you.

well...who are our suspects?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*finds a stick of dynamite*
Our suspects are ZAFIRA KERIAS!
*finds a sci-fi laser gun*
DRAGONA PINE!
*finds a smiley-face doodle*
And STAR INKBRIGHT!

Amethyst Temerity said...

*walks around and spots splatters of ketchup*
What the..?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Ketchup!
*examines ketchup through magnifying glass*
But what could it mean . . ?
*frowns*
Only Trip Castalan bleeds ketchup . . .
*gasps*
*horror-struck*
Trip Castalan has been KILLED TO DEATH.

Sir said...

A rather gruesome way to go, all things considered.

Amethyst Temerity said...

Who would have done such a thing?
*looks around for possible weapons used*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*frowns*
*strokes chin*
*stands in the middle of the hotel lobby*
. . . Well, my dear Watson, I am baffled by this case. We have not been able to find Trip's body, or any of the three killers! I suspect,
*taps nose knowingly*
that the culprit was . . .

*dramatic music swells*

Star Inkbright . . . with the purple carrot . . . in the dining room!

*points to dining room*

TO THE DINING ROOM, WATSON!

*sets off*
*coat flapping behind me*

Amethyst Temerity said...

*quickly follow*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*gasps in surprise*
*skids to a halt*

Well well well, it is none other than my bitter rival, Sir Reingington!

*points dramatically at Sir*

Was it YOU who killed Mr. Castalan?

Amethyst Temerity said...

What about the purple carrot?
Do you think he killed him? ...with the purple carrot!!!

Sir said...

...

No, Ms. Barnosky.

At least, I believe the answer is no.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, if my bitter rival says it, it must be so!

*whirlwinds past Sir and into the dining room*

Watson!

*gestures wildly to the dining room*

What do you see!?

Amethyst Temerity said...

*looks around*
The dining room is perfectly spotless! This must be a trick!

Sir said...

Spotless?

Well, I suppose that puts Mr. Neurotic on the list of suspects, as well.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*Jubi's dead body randomly appears out of nowhere*

The Grave of a Coward said...

NO! YOU'RE WRONG!
Look, Watson, the dining took is spotless! This must be a trick!

*scampers off to the kitchen*

Watson! Sir! Follow me!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*room

The Grave of a Coward said...

*trips over Jubilance*

No! Another dead body!
And . . . and . . .

*looks back at the dining room*

The crime scene is clean!
Which makes Oscar Neurotic a suspect! Brilliant deduction, Mr. Reinging-whatever.

*waves vaguely at Sir*

Sir said...

...

Quite.

Amethyst Temerity said...

What method was used to kill her?

Amethyst Temerity said...

*looks closely at Jubilance's body*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*closely examines Jubilance under the magnifying glass*
Hmm.
*examines the carpet around her*
Hmm.
*peels back her eyelids*
Hmm.
*checks her pulse*
Hmm.

*stands up*

Well, I'm stumped.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*opens eyes*
BOO!!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Ah! What supernatural event has caused this?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*leaps into Sir's arms*
*like Scooby-Doo and Shaggy*
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Amethyst Temerity said...

hm...
Are you alive or dead?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*starts laughing hysterically*

Oh man that was great!
You guys ACTUALLY thought I was dead??

*wipes away tears*

Your.. faces...

*keeps laughing*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*points a shaking finger at Jubilance*
You are making a mockery of the sacred proceedings of Cluedo!

Amethyst Temerity said...

*glares*
*pokes Jubilance's arm*

Amethyst Temerity said...

*gasps and points at Jubilance*
She could have killed everyone!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*continues laughing*

Can't... breathe....

*takes a deep deep deep deep DEEP breath*

*keeps laughing*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*stops laughing*

What?

The Grave of a Coward said...

Peel off her face! Perhaps she is a human disguised as a Jubilance! Or, rather, a monster disguised as a Jubilance!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*gives Annika a quizzical look*

Wait... what?

Amethyst Temerity said...

*searches around her face*
*pokes her*
Nothing suspicious..

The Grave of a Coward said...

*sighs heavily*
Watson!
Check her hands for Trip's blood!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

ouch! *pushes Amethyst away*

What are you guys doing???

Amethyst Temerity said...

*searches Jubilance*
Ah-ha!
*takes out a small bottle with ketchup and a pack of fries*

Sir said...

...

I-

Qu-

Right.

The Grave of a Coward said...

I am wearing a deerstalker and a tweed cloak! My associate here is wearing a bowler hat and a fake mustache!
What does it LOOK like we're doing!?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Hey those are mine!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

... a reenactment?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*suddenly remembers where I am*
*turns scarlet*
*hops out of Sir's arms*

I-
Er-
Sorry.
*cough*
*straightens my hat*

Now then!
This girl has a bottle of Trip's blood, and some greasy junk food!
She is clearly the culprit! She killed Trip with high cholesterol!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Shall we question her or arrest her?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

Trip's DEAD????

The Grave of a Coward said...

*flaps hands disgustedly*
Why not do both?

The Grave of a Coward said...

And Trip has indeed been KILLED TO DEATH! By YOU! CONFESS AT ONCE!
*waves arms*

Sir said...

...

If Mr. Castalan is dead, where is his body?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*pauses*
. . . I'm not sure.
Perhaps she has EATEN IT! Hence the fries! Or has it concealed somewhere about her person!
*begins to pace feverishly*
Or perhaps defenestrated it! Or dumped it in the Thames! Or perhaps she-
*continues rambling indistinctly*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I...
I didn't do anything!
I just heard you guys saying something about solving a murder so I was just like "Hey I'll pretend to be dead and then scare the bejeezus out of them!"

Amethyst Temerity said...

*searches pockets for handcuffs*
*takes out some candy, a notebook, pens, and a small piece of string*
I've got nothing to arrest her with!
What should I do?
*runs around looking for a rope or something*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*begins rifling through my pockets for arresting material*
*holds up roll of duct tape*
. . ?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*stands up and dusts off*

OOH I HAVE AN IDEA!! *bounces up and down raising hand in the air*
PICK ME PICK ME!

Amethyst Temerity said...

Ah! That might work!
*takes the roll of duct tape*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*continues bouncing*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*points at Jubilance*
You have the right to remain noisy!

Amethyst Temerity said...

*clears throat*
Jubilance, you are arrested. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney and if you can not afford an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you. You can choose to exercise these rights at anytime.
*pauses*
Just kidding. I think we'll just deal with you.
*reaches for Jubilance's arm to wrap the duct tape*

Noelle said...

*Adra's dead body is hanging from the ceiling in the room over, a slow drop of blood from her hand*
*She has unfortunately...*
*Painted to death*

-I may or may not be here. I just checked in and found this amusing :)-

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

I have the right to remain noisy but have the right to remain silent...

what..?

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

OH MY GOD!!! ADRA!!! *points*
LOOK!

Noelle said...

(So, don't bother greeting me...? :P)

The Grave of a Coward said...

*a drop of blood drips on my face*
*and I slowly look up*
*and gasp*

Adrasdos! No! Don't turn this into an episode of Supernatural!

Amethyst Temerity said...

*hurriedly grabs Jubilance's arms and successfully tapes them together*
Yes! I did it!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

(ADRA!!!!!! *supermegatacklehugsofdoom*

HAI!!!!

:3)

Amethyst Temerity said...

*looks up*
Who would have done such a terrible thing!
...how did she get up there unnoticed?

The Grave of a Coward said...

*grabs Jubilance forcefully by the shoulder*
Jubilance Glee!
You are under arrest for the murders of Trippington Castalan and Adrasdos Dark!

Noelle said...

(I also think I'm listening to KPop or something.

I don't know what's being said.

It sounds Korean.
It might not be.

It sounds Eastern.
That's all I know.

Okay, it's Japanese.

I was kind of close.)

The Grave of a Coward said...

We have more than proof! We have CONJECTURE!
*begins to drag Jubilance toward the door*

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

xDDD

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

BUT..
THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE...!!

The Grave of a Coward said...

YOUR FACE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Sir said...

Of course not, Ms. Glee. You would need at least 12 pints of wisdom to make sense, and that was a phrase, incapable of physically holding wisdom.

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

YOUR LIFE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Amethyst Temerity said...

Look at what I found!
*hold up a purple carrot*

Noelle said...

*A paper falls out of her jacket*
*And for a moment, Adra is in a music video*
*The words "MARY DID IT" is on the paper, but then 'Mary' is scratched out, and 'Jubilance' is written instead*
*Brendon Urie resumes singing after the climax of the music video*

The Grave of a Coward said...

YOU GET OFF YOUR ALL-CAPS HIGH HORSE RIGHT NOW YOUNG LADY BECAUSE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Amethyst Temerity said...

*drops carrot and rushes to pick up the paper*
PROOF!!!

The Grave of a Coward said...

*dives for the note*
*reads it*
*looks up in shock*

Jubilance!
You killed her!
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa, Mona Lisa!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
AND YOUR NAME DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Sir said...

...

*reaches into one of his pockets, and pulls out some earmuffs*

*slowly puts them on his ears, and sighs at the sweet silence*

The Grave of a Coward said...

Well, I'll tell you what DOES make any sense!
*shoves note in Jubilance's face*
This note says you did it!

Noelle said...

*Adra's ghost picks up a plank, and hits Sir in the back of the head with it*

Amethyst Temerity said...

It is all the proof we need!

The Grave of a Coward said...

Proof indeed!

I'm Jubilance Glee / Occasional Haiku-er / And a dinosaur said...

*stares at the note*

WHY THE HELL WOULD I LEAVE A NOTE BEHIND SAYING THAT I MURDERED SOMEONE RIGHT AFTER I MURDERED THEM?

Sir said...

*does not notice the plank, as he is busy hearing nothing*

The Grave of a Coward said...

THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE, JUBILANCE.

Amethyst Temerity said...

...
*looks at Jubilance*
Your crazy...?

Noelle said...

How the hell does one not notice being hit in the back of the head with a plank?
*does it again*

Amethyst Temerity said...

Wait! Could Jubilance have killed other people too?
*quickly scans room*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*points at Adra's ghost*
Stop hitting Sir in the back of the head or I'll exorcise you in a minute!

Noelle said...

*Adra's ghost flips Annika off*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*doesn't flip off Adra's ghost*
*because I am CIVIL*
*but I do however mutter something about Ghostbusters and return to confronting Jubilance*

The Grave of a Coward said...

*cell phone rings*
*I flip it open*
Yes, this is Jake from State Farm.
. . . What? I beg your pardon?
Oh, dinner is ready? I see.

I want Canada.

February 27, 2014 at 11:55 PM

 Amethyst Temerity said...

why Canada?

February 28, 2014 at 12:02 AM

 Annika Barnosky / Doctor Precocious said...

Because Canada has several things.

1) A good tactical advantage over the USA.
2) A maple syrup reserve, accessible only by the government.
3) Half of Niagara Falls.
4) Canadians, who are adorable and polite, except for Justin Bieber.
5) Moose.
6) Snow.
7) Canadian bacon.

February 28, 2014 at 12:05 AM



Canada does not have me. But it has me near it, tjrough this peice of logic "Canada is the capital of Narnia. I am from Narnia, and I live in Tasmania. Thus Canada is in Tasmania"

I actually said that

Star Inkbright said...

Star eventually got to the top of a tall tree, and surveyed the landscape around her. Straight ahead, there were lots of trees. To the right, there were lots of trees. Diagonally forward and to the right, there were lots of trees. Behind her, there were lots of trees. Diagonally right and behind here, there were lots of trees. In the middle of forward and backward, which was exactly in the middle, there were lots of trees. Of course there were. She was in one. Diagonally behind her and to the left, there were lots of trees. Diagonally in front of her and to the left, there were lots of trees. In the middle of the right and the left, it was exactly the middle, which, as she'd already mentioned, was filled with lots of trees. However, far away to her left, there was a considerable amount of trees, and then it looked like the trees ended. There seemed to be a considerable amount of flatness. Star squinted and tried to make out details, but everything shimmered and shifted, and it could have been filled with harsh gray pavement, peaceful blue sea, or waving green grass. She shifted her feet, as they were beginning to hurt from remaining in the same awkward position.
Behind the flatness, there were mountains, rising up over the horizon, like two bits of land had been pushed together and it had crumpled up in the middle. Oh wait, that WAS what had happened. That was how mountains were made. Duh. Tectonic plates and that.
She could remember tectonic plates and she couldn't remember her age?
She could probably remember the age of the earth.
Wasn't it 14000 million?
That better NOT be the age of the earth. If so, she would be seriously pissed off. Her brain needed to get its priorities straight.
What now?
Star supposed she had better walk towards the mountains - one of which looked a bit like a volcano but that was stupid, there weren't any volcanoes in England.
Wait, she was English?
SHE WAS ENGLISH!
Star took her hand off her handhold and fistpumped. Oh yes. She'd tackled one aspect of her memory.
Anyway . . . yeah. She needed to go towards the mountains, or more importantly the flatness in front of the mountains (the mountains were a bit far off), but she didn't know how to get there.
If she reached the ground, she would probably get lost and end up going in circles again.
Um.

You said something about a serum before. Doesn't that mean you want to keep your 'human shell'? And that makes you better than the others!

I would probably have forgotten it after a few years. :P My brain isn't good with singular words.)

((Hey star! You still lost in that forest? Ah well, you'll get out eventually))

Not necessarily mir. It just means I'm smarter and better at avoiding pain than some of them. And easier to drug...

It means you're better. You didn't try to kill me when we met, that's a good sign for me.

Star decided to do something called tree-hopping. Well, she'd just named it, just now, but . . . yeah. IT WAS TREE HOPPING OKAY.
She sort of traversed along the tops of the trees. When she got to a taller one, she could look around and check she was still on track.
The main problem was this was that, like all humans (if she was human. She could be anything, really. Memory loss was scary), she got tired. Star was having to stop occasionally, take rests in awkward positions leaning on branches, shaking her arms and legs.
It would probably take her a while.
But she was getting there, slowly.
Watch out, flatness, here I come . . .

(And I should probably leave it there for now if I want to time jump her out of the forest. :P)

@Silente: I've had homework to do. :P

Plus, you know, the forest is big.

"I believe I am in Hell, therefore I am."

Just saw this quoted in a Mortal Instruments book and OH MY GOSH IT'S FABULOUS.
