Ladies and gentlemen...
When I start writing Book 9, I had a title in mind. And it was a good title. It was a glorious title. It echoed a phrase we'd already seen in the books themselves, and it was cool, and haunting, and awesome...
But for some reason, it wasn't a "Final Book" title.
I don't know why. Some titles suit the last book of a series. Some suit the first. This title — my lovely, glorious title — suited the first.
I'm not going to tell you what it was, because I do plan to use it at some stage — and I never let a good idea go to waste.
But suddenly I had a problem. I needed a new title.
I needed a new title that sounded like a final book. I needed a new title that fit alongside Kingdom of the Wicked and Last Stand of Dead Men. I needed something almost... poetic.
And so I came up with this.

#ChaseForBookNine
I'm afraid that I have to go as well . . .
*the Midnight Hotel folds in on itself and sinks into the ground with a FOOP*
Bye Annika!
Fours Clara! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Good :)
Ohh, that's on purpose - 'messy' is linked to something, so it makes more sense if you know the whole thing :)
Where is 'okay' written though? I can't find that.
What else? Sorry, I'm just nit-pick at all the things I miss! Don't worry if you don't want to list any more, I understand, and you've already helped loads :)
*finishes cleaning*
*removes the peg*
*puts the products away*
*runs after Clara*
Do you wanna go adventure?
Come on let's save the day!
You never come out anymore.
You've locked the door.
And thrown the key away!
We used to be a duo.
And now we're not
I wish you would come outside!
Do you wanna go adventure?
Or maybe just play board games?
*waits*
*sighs*
Never mind.
Do you wanna go adventure!
Or maybe just run away?
I think some company is over due.
I've started talking to this one picture of you!
Let's go Clara!
It get a little lonely
A little gloom and doom
I wanna spend spend time with you!
*tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock*
Clara? Please I know you here me.
People are saying you've moved on.
They say just leave her.
But I'd die if I do.
I'm still waiting for you.
Just let me in.
We used to have each other.
Now its just me.
I'm sorry if I hurt you...
Do you wanna go adventure?
I think its just been a bad week
*keeps whispering* Ms Crowley, as much as I appreciate being this close to somebody without killing them, I will assure you now that I will not be killing anyone.
Same cannot be said for Billy-Ray Sanguine...
*gasps*
...who is upstairs and ready to kill!
DID SHE SERIOUSLY LEAVE BEFORE I MANAGED TO POST THAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHY?!
Oo, wait, hang on. I found the word okay :P
That's on purpose too :P
Her inner voice/narrator becomes more relaxed and colloquial over the book so that's on purpose too haha
Bye Clara!
Omg Silente, that is amazing!!
Bye Clara!
But she didn't see it!
Do you want to build a snowman?
*wimpers* yes. Yes its a whole parody of do you wanna build a snowman that I wrote for her.
*goes to cry in a corner*
Post it next time she's on :)
It's seriously brilliant!
*reaches out through the darkness*
*whispers* Silente . . .
I saw it.
*falls away from this comment thread*
*and out of sight*
*bounces up*
Yes! She saw it! Thank you! Thank you golden god!
So, now what shall we do?
Er...
*walks in a circle thinking*
Er....we should...
*thinking*
*turns*
Zaf! Wada you wanna do?
Doesnt matter.
...um...
What do we do now? What can we do??? Someone! Help! Heeellllppppp mmmmeeeeeee! *slowly dies of boredom*
*sits quietly under tree*
Yes it does! Why does everyone always say doesn't matter. Its really weird. Seriously what do you want to do? Do you want to dance?
*does a silly dance*
Rp? Blog fight? Just talk? Something else? Give me a hint.
*rolls around on grass*
*picks up a dandelion*
*tries to blow all the fuzzy white stuff off*
*catch the seeds that amethyst blows free*
*blows off all fuzzies except one*
NO! GET OFF! *blows harder*
*the white fuzzy stuff stays on*
YOU! SHALL! BURN!!!
*sets it on fire*
*stands up and dusts myself off*

*with a fish*
*gets a sword fish*
*settles into a fighters stance*
Enguard!
*grabs an eel*
*whips it around*
This will be interesting!
*walks in a circle around amethyst*
*lunges in with her swordfish*
*stabs amethyst to the left of her stomach*
*whirls away and out bringing up her defence*
*whips eel toward Silente*
*eel flops around weakly*
Bad eel!
*frowns* Eel? *drops it*
Pause! *mutters* Bad eel.
*looks around for a better fish*
*holds up a tuna*
TUNA! Better!

*takes tuna and slaps it toward Silente's face*
*backs up a step before the tuna can hit her*
*grins at amethyst*
*drops her guard for a second*
*luges down and stabs amethysts leg with the sword fish*
*moves back her guard coming back*
*jumps and flips over amethyst*
Soory was sleepy
*lunges and swings tuna tail toward Silente*
*cuts her arm*
*grins*
Who would have excepted this? Fish as weapons.
(That's fine zaf. Sleep gets us all in the end...)
Why who do you guys wanna meet?
Back.
Not many people.
*lunges as slices amethysts bicep with the swordfish*
*smiles as her arm begins to tingle and heal*
But then again it is us.
*flips and swings at the top of amethysts head*
(Anyone zaf! Whoever! You choose! Allso hey Dragona!)
*looks at the swordfish*
Ok, so we're either having a food-fight... or a fish-fight. Or just a random fight. I can't tell which one it is. But it could be something completely unrelated, like you're trying to sort out some zombie infection Amethyst has, knowing this place.
Fish-fight.
Hey Dragona!
*circles Silente slowly*
Hm... *lunges and swipes tail at Silente's face then quickly moves fish toward Silente's legs*
Javier: Hello everyone.
You know what?
*set's fish on fire*
*throws it at Silente*
*runs to search for another fish*
NOW I HAVE A JELLYFISH!
*holds up jellyfish*
...but, you can't fight with a jellyfish!
*hurriedly searches for another fish*
((Your not going to defend your head first? Okay then.))
*smiles at the gash in amethysts hair*
*jumps over the approaching fish*
*lands and spins swiping at amethysts ankles*
Hey Javier!
Javier: What are you guys doing?
*rushes over and high fives Javier while amethyst is busy*
Yo! How are you?
*keeps an eye on amethyst*
We're having a fish-fight! As you do..Cuz we're soooooo normal!
Javier: *high fives* well then...*smirks*
*jumps to avoid fish*
*grabs a random fish*

*starts pulling it off*
*manages to pull it off*
*glares at amethyst, her face red and covered in sucker marks*
*grabs a hammer head shark*

*chases amethyst letting out a battle cry*

*laughs* I can't- I can't fight! Yo-our face...
*tries to get up and run*
*fails*

FEAR THE MIGHTY SALMON.
YOU'RE ALL WEIRDOS. :D
This is why I love this place.
...
Well, part of it, anyway.
**jarvier not jacket. Hello Fabi, welcome to the nut house!
I gotta eat lunch! Bye!
*throws fish at everyone*
Oh, I get the ded :) my first legal dedication.
This is gonna be fun :D
Your first legal ded? You've been illegally dedicating?
When I came downstairs today my sister was watching the Disney Peter Pan movie. And there were several things about it which just made me think "THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN A CHILDREN'S FILM".
It's rated PG, which is like for children. And when I came downstairs I saw some children on the film smoking a pipe. Drug use in a PG. A children's film - and it showed children themselves smoking drugs given to them by an Indian guy.
THEN some pirates were drinking alcohol, followed by the same thing fairytales do when they say that everything will be fine no matter what happens - like Hook was nearly eaten by a crocodile (well he was in the crocodiles mouth and was chewed but manage to escape) and then he was shown being perfectly fine.
That does so much more damage than violent video games.
Don't be mean to Disney! Pg=parental guidance. Not any can watch. I know said like that it doesn't sound like the best film but hey, at least its not the old princess ones. As much as I love Disney the 'damsel in destress' look was always so annoying. Especially since at least one of them had stolkholm syndrome. Or gave up abilities for a guy...but still I love Disney.
Disney are bad unless paired with Pixar. And Pixar are just awesome, really.
Pixar are good. But so is Disney. They're both good.
Hello everybody!
I wanted Hook to stab Peter and feed HIM to the stupid crocodile to see how he likes it. Because Peter Pan annoys the hell out of me.
Wow! Dragona hates Peter Pan that much that he wouldn't mind if he got fed intentionally to a crocodile?
Hey, Peter was the one who made Hook bad by stealing his treasure, chopping his hand off and feeding him to the crocodile. Peter should get a taste of his own medicine, for once. Instead of Hook being abused by him all the time.
I know I bet once you get to know him, that pirate is definitely not going to be as vindictive as he originally seemed.
LET ME BE PROUD OF MYSELF.
Not really here. :) Just sort of, you know, hovering, whilst I work out what to do next.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Veronica!
*punches her in the face*
How're you?
Peter Pan is a little annoying. I always felt sorry for hook. Has anyone seen the film Hook? It so good!
Though in Hook's fairness he does get picked on by three children who only hate him because of Peter Pan. So basically, they hate him because of rumors, now thats hardly fair.
Hey Silente!
*clutches nose, not bleeding*
*returns an upper cut to the jaw*
I'm fine, I'm kinda of sad and incredibly mad at my brother, but I leave home for Australia tomorrow and then that means leaving all my relatives as well.
How are you doin?
*grins and rubs her jaw*
In a weird mood! Its quite fun!
*kicks veronica in the side*
I'm back!
Wb Amethyst.
Wb Amethyst!
What happened while I was gone? Did I miss much?
*stumbles clutching left ribcage*
No fair, I was off guard! Never mind...
*springs a kick to the left, fakes right, tries for another jaw punch*
Well, thats good to know, hope your mood stays that way.
Not really...
*brings up her guard ducking under her punch*
I'll try to!
*swings a fist into her left side*
*sways back and sends one fist flying at her temple*
Wb Amethyst
How did you guys get into a fight?
*spins out of the way*
*clips it on the bottom of the ear*
Well, what have you been up to today then?
*slides between the legs*
*flying ninja kicks her head*
I punched her.
Yeah...right in the face! It was definitely unwarranted violence!
Oh. Any reason why?
Nope
*stumbles to the side*
*shakes her head to clear it*
*grins*
Nothing really. Just relaxing
*kicks her feet from under her*
*stamps on her knee*
*moves back out of her reach*
Well, none that I am aware of
*explodes*
She came on, I decided 'hey, let's start a lovely fight!' Then punched her in the face. As you do.
Hey zaf!
*nods* Okay.
*looks around for something to do*
*screams with immense pain*
Okay, okay! I think I've had enough.
*smirks under a bruised face*
Help me up?
*looks at Zafira*
I think I'd like to know how it feels to explode...
*explodes*
Herlo Zaf.
Nope!
*grins down at her*
Don't be lazy.
*backs away giving her room to get up*
(How do I reform now?)
Oh okay then.
*swings up too her knees and waits in a crouch*
I'm sorry, but did I say something to offend you when I saw you for the first time today? Or do you just have some incredible violent tendencies?
*giggles to herself*
Don't worry if you do, I have them too.
*stands up and obtains a friendly position*
(That's quite simple! You.just
Don't.)
they laughed at the girl
because of all that she thinks
about a girl in that band
called little mix
they didn't see her cuts
she made with a knife
she wrote in her diary,
"this girl saved my life"
they didn't believe
anything that she said
a few weeks later
she was found dead
there was a note in her hand
she held on tight
on the note it read,
"she was worth the fight"
(...so now I'm spread out all over the ground in tiny pieces. Wonderful...)
*gives a friendly smile back*
*nods* your shoes. They offended me. And I'm a little violent. But mainly your shoes.
*is mentally prepared for if she attacks*
Naww....always look on the bright side of life.
While you're in pieces i believe you should come up with some theories for time travel so that you can undo your mistake. Until then, keep your pieces together in a bucket.
(Use the magnet! The magnet that is the iron in your blood! Tell your iron and fibres and tissue to stop being stupid and pull the,selves together!)
(...I can't do anything. Someone call for help please!)
(Use the force young Jedi!)
Oh wow Silente, never heard of these shoes being offensive.
*throws shoes off to the side*
Do my feet offend you, I would rather not cut them off if they do, but I washed them today so they shouldn't smell.
*tries to think about not punching her in the face, tells herself they were good shoes but you'll get another pair sooner or later*
(*facepalm* I CAN'T! I'm in pieces! What am I suppose to do! I blew myself to bits!)
Well, if I had the force, I would help but I'm here talking with you instead of meeting with Yoda...so, its kinda you're own fault.
*watches her throw the shoes away*
*runs and catches them before they hit the ground*
*gives them back to Veronica*
*smiles warmly*
Don't change yourself just because someone is offended. If you did that you'd never stop changing. Be who you are, not who they want you to be.
(Press rewind!)
(...know anyone who CAN help me?
Zafira? How do you put yourself together?)
*throws the shoes back to the ground and stands in front of them*
I am not 'changing' because I want too. I'm changing because I am forced to try not to get hit in the face again. I've been waiting a long time for something like this to happen....
*fumbles on her words*
And now, I have nothing to say. Lat this be known, I would not usually change myself, in any way, none at all. However, my better judgement wishes to protect my nose.
*throws glitter filled healing potion at the amethyst chunks*
*the chunks begin to draw together*
*and reform*
*and make the shape of a person played down with glitter built into her hair and skin*
*amethyst, glittery and reformed*
Wow. Thanks Silente...why am I glittery?!?
Amethyst the easiest way to fix yourself is to do the opposite of what you did to explode yourself.
*moves head wisely*
Reverse the effects and you will be one again.
*stumbles away poorly into clearly visible darkness*
*frowns*
But. But I was teaching you a lesson. I'm educating you! Put your shoes back on! I won't hurt you because of them. Jesus woman, if you won't stand up for your shoes, which I'm presuming you have strong emotions for, then what will you stand up for?
Right, it's my first legal dedication.
I dedicate to Darquesse. She is amazing! I mean, come on! What we've seen so far from her is amazing - she's fought Vile, she's fought Mevolent, she even managed to fight Valkyrie. Sure, she's a bit evil, but hey, she's not considering to end the world, unlike some of the other folks - and she put Ravel in his place and saved China's life.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Darquesse!
Or...just wait for a rogue vampire to sprinkle you with glittery powder.
Because the potion had glitter built into it.
*facepalm*
*sighs*
I guess I should be happy I'm reformed...but GLITTER?!?
Oh well...I think I'll just have to live with it?
Woooo darquess! Darquess! Darquess! Darquess! Darquess!
Yes. You will have to live with it.
Silente! I will stand up for anyone who is being bullied for no specific reason. I will not protect myself over nonsense issues. I love my shoes and so I will put them back on.
*put on shoes proudly*
Now, you have taught me a lesson, sure it is fine and well to protect innocent attacked civilians but as a matter of pride you must also protect yourself. You are a very wise vampire.
Oh easy! *draws sigil and puts together Amethyst* give me your arm
The one time I explode myself and now I have to live the rest of my life glittery… What a lesson...
Zaf! Remove my glitters!
I'm wise? Okay then.....
*places a heavy black dome on the ground*
*clicks some buttons on it*
*a flashing red light turns on*
*it flashes and deeps every second*
**beeps
Umm Silente...I am willing to withdraw my prestigious comment about how wise you are if thats a bomb.
*touches her temple*
Please tell me that isn't a bomb.
Tell you what's not a bomb?
*whispers to Veronica* If it's not a bomb, it's most likely something worse...
*turns back to amethyst*
Umm what is it then.
*speaks a lot louder*
Someone better tell me what that is right this second!
*turns back to amethyst*
Umm what is it then.
*speaks a lot louder*
Someone better tell me what that is right this second!
*removes glitter and draws a sigil on Amethyst* when you explode again it'll put you back together
What?!?? How did that double up???
Oh that black dome. Its a bomb.
*smiles goofily*
Newest model. It even bullet proof!
Thanks Zaf! *explodes*
*facepalm* *shakes head* I think I’d be best for us all if we run as far as we can from it… *runs*
Oh okay then
*back away slowly draw a long sword from her waist as precaution*
Ummm..how long before we all go bomb...or is it a glitter bomb. Please be a non-lethal glitter bomb.
*takes more backward steps*
Well if I programmed it right it /should/ go soon.
*smiles proudly*
And no its not a glitter bomb. Its a ful- a ful-a...hmm whats it called...ah thats it! Its a fullgentes bomb!
*sits next to the bomb*
Umm is it safe to site next to?
*returns he sword to her waist and sits next to the rogue vampire*
**fulgentes
*sheilds treehouse with shadows*
Ummm when will this blow then..and when it does will I die?*
runs finger along the bomb*
*yells*...you mean...it’s a shining bomb?
*moves closer to them*
*forms air shield around bomb*
*smiles*
Three.....two......one.....
*there is a bright flash and a soft whoomph sound*
*a giant mushroom cloud is created but there is no crator*
*environmentally friendly sparkling flakes are blow out in a two mile radius*
*the flakes slowly drift down covering everything and making it shimmer in the light*
Tadaa! fulgentes!
:) Nice :) but not wise...
Wow! Okay then next time warn me please.
*though no on is listening all that well mumbles under her breath, 'the sparrow flies south for the winter*
*punches Silente in the face*
Please don't do that again.
*takes the punch*
*doesn't care really*
*jumps up and runs around in the sparkly world*
*spins around grinning from ear to ear*
*gets covered in sparkly flakes*
*looks down at myself and moans*
Again! But at least this time I can just shake it off...
*grabs amethyst*
*pulls her up*
*spins around with her grinning and laughing*
*follows Silente's lead taking advantage of the sparkly sky above her*
*draws sword*
The way...the way this gleams in the glitter is truly beautiful, truly beautiful!
*smiles from ear to ear*
*grins*
Well, I guess they are really sparkly and pretty...
*laughs*
*spins around with Silente*
*grabs Veronica into the group spinning*
*spins around with Veronica and amethyst*
*laughs and smiles ear to ear*
*tilts her head back her silver hair shimmering with the bitter*
**glitter not bitter! Glitter is not bitter! Bad autocorrect!
*laughs*
You should do this again when more people are around...but instead of glitter, use something else :D
What can you use other than glitter?
Paint? Candy? Sharp rocks? More glitter?
Or you can start your own shop! Where you sell glitter bombs or something!
Hmmm...paint will annoy people and the radius wouldn't be as far. Candy we can put in the maybe pile. Sharp rocks... maybe if Alastair comes on. More glitter can join candy.
*nods* Candy and glitter!
Oh! Or Glitter candy!
Well I will say Ari hasn't emailed me, I doubt he'll come ob
Glitter candy! I don't know what it is but I want it! Candy that looks like big pieces of glitter! You can eat it!
Yes! You just read my mind! Glitter Candy!!!!!! I love it!
*couldnt stop the grin spreading even if she tried*
We can practice with those Alastair poke-the-eyes dummies!
...there's actually real edible glitter... O_O
****on a completely unrelated note*****
Has anyone ever though of how cool a diamond encrusted semi-automatic pistol would be?
That just sounds cool by itself...
Okay one minute!
*runs off*
*comes back with a stall*
*and a portal maker*
*puts the stall down next to the oak tree*
*straps the portal maker to her back*
*starts making steps into the roots of the oak*
*they lead down to a wall*
*shoots a portal at the wall*
Now all of a sudden i want to own a farm, get a gun liscense and buy that pistol. Whit whatever money i dont have.
Now all of a sudden i want to own a farm, get a gun liscense and buy that pistol. Whit whatever money i dont have.
Oh a pretty think that kills people! (Just like me *winks*) that is cool.
Ohh Silente...
*grins suspiciously*
Where that portal be heading??
...Silente? What are you up to now?
*looks to Amethyst*
Great minds think alike!
*high five*
But I guess we also learned from...past experience... :)
*lays in grass with Javier*
Javier: *smiles* May I?
Do what?
Javier: *takes her jacket off* lighten up you're so pretty
*walks through the portal testing it works*
*emerges in a large secure vault with no other entrance*
*steps back to the clearing*
*puts a door frame around the portal*
*adds a steal door to it that's too heavy for anyone but a vampire to open*
*locks it and presses the key onto a symbol on her arm*
*comes back up to work on the stall*
Well, sadly I have been summoned to sleep. I'm going to head back to the midnight hotel and crash there for the night. Stay away from room 18, if you wake me up...tomorrow will not be a good day.
Goodnight Silente and Amethyst!
*turns and walks back to the hotel*
I do not know if I should allow her to continue with what she's doing. Do you think it's safe?
And Zaf!
And anyone else I missed.
Bye Veronica!
Night Veronica
*paints it all pretty colours*
*finishes and leaves the paint to dry*
*adds some glitter to the paint*
*goes back down to the portal door*
*touches her symbol and the key falls out into her palm*
*unlocks the door*
*strain her muscles and open it*
*steps halft into the portal*
*closes the door and locks it hiding the key in her arm again*
*goes through the portal into vault*
*makes another portal on the opposite wall*
Night veronica!
*watches Silente* ...whatcha doing?
