Tom Percival has blessed us with another stunning cover for Armageddon Outta Here, and this time it's something extra-special — a wraparound masterpiece...
We're going to release this as a poster for the bookstores, and we're planning on making it available to you guys too — hopefully along with all the other posters. I'll keep you, ahem, posted...
Heheheheheheh.
Oh, and as for who exactly everyone IS on that cover... you'll just have to read the stories to find out.

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 4949 Newer› Newest»I know Zafira, nothing compared to what you both went through...But it's still hard to see him like that.
*whistles and Zyph flies over*
Here. *motions for Chione to climb on* I'll get Blake on her too...
*starts dragging Blake over*
... *uses air to raise him up and moves him onto the horse next to Chione*
*shadow-walks* *sits outside the treehouse* (rule with me is my magic isnt bound unless you touch the bare skin
Thank you...Amethyst. You too Zafira.
*Zyph flies to Chione and Blake's house*
*Groans lightly and half-opens his eyes*
I-is everyone okay..?
No...*glares at Blake* Better learn to control Erebus...or else!
*tries to re-create her limbs but is too weak and doesn't have enough magic power*
*Tries to sit up but winces and lays back down*
What did he do?! Nobody's dead right..?
...you are...
im baaack
Hey Snow!
*Looks confused*
This is a crappy afterlife...
Seriously Amethyst what happened? I can only remember him making you all fight each other... then Chione singing and-
*Bolts to his feet*
CHIONE! Is she okay?!
((hey Snow))
hi. :P
i'm away a whole week and already, on the second day back, i'm ahead of everyone else.
*smirks*
...nope, she's not okay. Chione's right behind you...
(...why is there so much space in the end of that comment?)
(and you can't really "bolt to your feet" unless you get off my horse first...)
((Lol Amethyst))
*Whips around, kneeling next to Chio*
*sees her shattered limbs*
Oh my god... Chione I- I'm so sorry...
*tears of anger and hate towards Erebus well up in hi eyes*
((his*))
Blake...it's alright...I know it wasn't you. ..
I know, true names are bitches.
(*laughs* "hi eyes" kinda sounds like you broke off and said hello to your eyes...sorry)
*Sighs*
I suppose it's time I tell you all something...
I don't know my true name.
((lol Amethyst, that mood killer xD))
(sorry... it's kinda fun killing moods)
*looks at Blake curiously* What do you mean?
((Except mine, I can control her.
DON'T READ THIS NEXT BIT, SPOILER!
Like Skulduggery when he was fighting Darquesse, he got rid of his true name to help darkquesse out of hers.
Msd sorry
I mean Erebus isn't my true name. He's not even an original part of me...
((Ok zaffy))
(you know when you put that DON'T READ it's kinda a sign that tells everyone to read it... reverse psychology...)
((My thoughts exactly Amy))
I tried not to put in the spoiler as much as I could, Like the names.
(Did you guys get off my horse yet?)
((No, I kinda can't. I'm a potato.))
(Ah...okay)
*tenses as she can feel Amethyst's spell weaken and she starts to feel pain again, little by little*
...why are we just standing by? Ah, yes. Blake wanted to reveal something...wait until Chione is healed first?
...Where are we going to heal her?
((Blake already revealed Erebus isn't his true name))
(Yes, but he hasn't explained anything yet...like what is Erebus then?)
*hisses as the pain intensifies*
Where can we find a doctor!?!
((Ah.)
*starts panicking and looking around*
A-amethyst....calm down would you...? You did a good job holding it off for so long from a wound this big... *winces*
oops. poofed. :)
I can't calm down! We need to find you a doctor!
Snow! Where can we get a doctor?
g2g. MATH TO DO!!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooo
Shame Adra isn't here huh...? And Zafira is no where to be seen.
Bye Snow...
Doctor, doctor, doctor... *thinks*
*stares at wound*
um...maybe I can help? I think we should bandage it? And get you inside the house to lie down...
Erebus is... how do I put this lightly..?
He's a god. The god of darkness to be precise. You all know how I like being powerful... I was constantly looking for ways to become stronger and one day, roughly 200 years ago I found one. In a long forgotten book I found a ritual for summoning and stealing a piece of the dark god's power, upon summoning Erebus he broke the sealing circle like it wasn't there and made himself at home in my body. I got the power I wanted, more than I asked for really... but now he's in me. And he always wants control...
*looks down at himself in disgust*
It was my greed that brought him to this world and put everyone in danger... It's my fault.
*stares at Blake* You should have expected that... from a God of Darkness? *nods* But first!
*uses air to raise Chione off horse and into house* *lays her on the couch*
...Where do you keep your bandages?
*grits her teeth* Lovely s-story...
*starts walking around, opening cabinets and looking through them*
*shouts* Chione? You do have bandages here do you?
There should be a first aid kit around somewhere...I cant remember where
*cries out*
*quickens pace* *yells* BLAKE! DO SOMETHING!
*opens cabinet and sees first aid kit* Wonderful! *takes it out and rushes to Chione*
*takes bandages wraps it on wounds*
(Where did everyone go?)
*Forms bandages from shadows and applies them to Chio's wounded limbs*
I'm so sorry...
((I'm decently sure Chio fell asleep, she certainly looks like it <.<))
(oh...)
(Well, we can say she fell asleep here too right?)
*Chione falls asleep*
((Problem solved))
*Leans back, surveying their handiwork*
She should be okay... she's been beat up worse than this. I think...
Well, things sure got quiet quickly...
...she needs magic to get those arms back...
*does an enthusiastic vaudeville dance number in the streets of Blogland*

We're just a bunch of crazy guys and gals!

That's me, baby!
*stands up and claps*
Wonderful! Best tap-dancing show ever!
And not a penny do I ask of you,
but my cap would be glad of a copper or two.
*whips off hat*
*lays it on the ground before Amethyst*
My chorus line is hungry,
their nests are so bare.
All it takes
is tuppence
from you.
*digs in pockets and takes out a small puppy* *places it in hat* *digs in pocket more* *takes out a five dollar bill and drops it into hat* ...that's all I got... Hopefully, it's enough!
*gasps in delight*
Such generosity! For that, a song, of your choice!
*bows low*
*produces an old-fashioned 50's microphone from behind a lamp post*
Oh! Another show! hm... song of my choice? I dunno...pick one for me!
Of course!
I dedicate this song to you, my loyal fan!
*taps the microphone*
Hit it, boys!
Chorus Line: *working a DJ's scratch table*
*a peppy pop-song beat starts playing*
*takes a deep breath*
*about to sing*
I don't need to tell you what you already know.
You're the one with style, you're the whole damn show!
The other guys play their instruments fine,
But next to you, their looks are a crime!
Chorus Line: (Bah bah bah bah!)
You're the one, yes you're the star
You’d look good playing bass guitar
You're Fabulous (You’re Fabulous!)
You're Fabulous (You’re fabulous!)
You're the one we all can see, it's all about you (true as can be!)
You're Fabulous (You’re Fabulous!)
You're fabulous (You’re Fabulous!)
You're the one who sets the bar.
The hairdo queen, the fashion star!
You're fabulous (You’re fabulous)
You're fabulous (Ooh, you’re fabulous)
You're the one we all can see, it's all about you (True as can be!)
You're Fabulous (You’re Fabulous)
You're Fabulous (You’re Fabulous)
Fabulous!
Fabulous!
Amethyst, you’re fabulous!
Chorus Line: Amethyst!
Amethyst!
YEAH!
*claps* I wish I had more to give, but sadly my pockets are empty...
All you need give is YOUR SOUL.
Attractive Chorus Line Gentlemen: Ahem.
*elbows me in the ribs*
I mean, your applause and appreciation are all the payment I need.
...um...okay!
*claps more*
Chorus Line and I: Now that our song is done
And we have had our fun
We're afraid we have to go
So we wish you well
We think you're really swell
And we'll be back someday, you know!
WhoOA!
*we dance one by one across the street*
*and one by one fall down a manhole*
*I'm the last to do so*
Fare-thee-well, Amethyst!
*leaps down the manhole*
*right out of this comment thread*

Valkyrie:

(Knocking: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)
Do you wanna beat up bad guys?
Come on lets go and fight.
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It's like you've gone away-
We used to be best buddies
And now we're not
the remnant's stolen your sole!-
Do you wanna beat up bad guys?
Skulduggery will join us...
Tanith:
Go away, Val
Valkyrie:
Okay, bye...
(Knocking)
Do you wanna beat up bad guys?
Or shoot fire with our hands?
I think some company is over due
I've started talking to
the hats ontop of the Skul-
(Stay on there, steve.)
It gets a little lonely
All these serious talks,
Just watching them making plans-
(Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock, Tic-Tock)
(Orchestral)
Valkyrie:
(Knocking)
Tanith?
Please, I know you're in there,
Ghastly's saying you're insane
They say "have courage", and I'm trying to
I'll be Darquesse for you, just let me in

It's just you and me
Though the remnets taken you...
Do you wanna beat up bad guys?

*explodes*
Hi Zaffy

*wakes up and moans*
*Turns over to look at Chi*
You alright..?
It's not that painfull but my limbs still aren't growing back...
can't you make new ones out of ice?
I am already weak from the beginning of spring and I'm still not fully recovered from yesterday...
*closes her eyes and tries her best, she can only manage to grow back her right thigh*
I have my test in 2hrs....*gulp*
Good luck Zafira!
I'm vaugely here I have 15min of studyig

I LOVE SNOW SO MUCH.
I'M ACTUALLY CRYING OKAY.
#ChaseForBookNine
*Snow the person, that is.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey
hey
HEY HEY HEY
I have tomorrow, and then PD day, and then IT'S THE EASTER HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ChaseForBookNine
*wanders into blogland with Onzwa behind me*
..then I need to find a way to get rid of Alastair, since he's still here. Also talk to Blake about the Erebus thing with Chi so they can try help him. Then there's avoid friends dying and avoid dying myself. Oh and pick up more clothes. I swear the rate I'm buying them at now, I might start ENJOYING clothes shopping..
*shudders at the though*
Happy, Gemma? :)
Hey everyone c:
*stands still and turns to face Cassidy*
*cocks her head to the side*
Hmmm...
*moves towards her*
*moves into an elegant bow*
*straighten up and smiles showing her jagged teeth*
Why hello there. And who might you be stranger?
*bows* Cassidy Clarimonde, at your service.
And yourself?
Silente Tempest. Rouge Vampire. Its a pleasure to meet you, I'm sure. So..Cassidy? How are you? You look deli I'm mean you look well.
*smiles still and steps towards her*
*stares at Silente with a somewhat unimpressed face*
*keeps one hand on knife belt, the other on hip and does not flinch at Silente's slow approach*
I am fine, thank you. And what of yourself?
I'm fine. Little stressed in all honesty but what can you do?
*grins at the hand on the knife belt*
*slows her approach slightly hanging one arm loosely by her left hand dagger sheath*
*looks Cassidy up and down slowly*
*spots dagger, but still does not flinch or move an inch*
Yes, stressing times aren't they? I'm not one for stress, myself. But I hear it can't be very..deadly.
*smiles*
Yes Cas, I'm happy :3
Yes very deadly. And its not really stressful, I'm just always stressed. I'm a very stressed creature..
*tilts her head slightly to the side*
*stops approaching about a metre away*
*locks eyes with her*
*grins crookedly showing a few sharp teeth*
...and its so hard to find a stress relief these days.
((Hey Chi!))
I told you all my new fake white Blu-Tack wouldn't stay white for long.
I told you.
*looks mournfully at grey tack*
#ChaseForBookNine
((Aww Star, poor white Blu-Tack))
((hello Silente.))
@Chi: Yeah. :P
Hello.
#ChaseForBookNine
You're probably always so stressed because you want something you're not getting.
*slowly starts to circle the vampire, playing with one of the knives in her hand, not breaking eye contact*
You should try those little stress relief balls that you spin in your hands, VERY calming. And I hear swimming in salt water is best, especially if you DRINK it. *smiles*
Hai
YOU SHOULD TRY USING BLU-TACK FOR STRESS RELIEF.
OR A FAKE ALTERNATIVE.
DON'T GET A WHITE ONE, THOUGH. :P
Hey, Zaf! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((Poor star! Poor no-longer-white tack!))
*moves in a circle watching Cassidy*
*smiles venemously at her*
Salt water? Somehow I don't think that would help very much.
*doesn't react to the knife or break eye contact*
And you can get anything you want, the question is how and when.
(( Hey Zafira, hey Star :) ))
*facepalm* Silente, Cas, what are you both doing...you just met?
Infact no...Silente and I fought when we first met too...Carry on!
@Silente: Ah, at least it's only one shade of grey. :) As opposed to fifty, you know.
Hey Cass. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, haven't you tried it? I'm told its the best solution for a vampire.
And sweetie, *smiles wickedly* that depends on who you try to get it from.
((Ug 50 shades of gray. Haven't even read it and hopefully wont have to.))
((And Chi we're not fighting just...er....summing each other up...yeah let's go with that.))
((Hahaha, yeah. Let's go for summing each other up.))
I have a small break between my workshops but I gotta head off to go locate my next one in about 5min
*smiles wickedly back*
*purrs out* everyone has a breaking point darling. Its just a case of hitting it..and hitting it hard.
*carries on turning following Cassidy's movements with her eyes*
*wakes up to find she passed out*
*stares at her curved stumps and sighs, knowing she won't be able to re-create them for a while*
*tries to get up and falls flat on her face and winces*
Well, it's a good job I'm not everyone.
*suddenly stops circling*
Even though I am enjoying myself, I shall have to take my leave.
Until next time, sweetie *blows kiss and turns around to leave*
*pauses* Oh, one more thing. A present for a new acquaintance *throws knive through air at Silente*
You can keep it, I have plenty more. *winks*
*turns around and slowly sashays off *
((Bye Cassidy!))
Fours, Cassidy! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
((Bye guys! I'll try and be on later!))
((Oh fudge sticks, do people still ded?))
*catches the knife not far from her face*
*smirks holding it there*
So long, ma Chéri. Until next time.
*watches her sashay away*
Goodbye.
*waits until she is gone*
*turns and runs to Chi's house after hearing her fall*
((Yes people still ded))
((haha!))
((Right, okay,
I dedicate this page to Gemma, my supercool Scottish Skuttlebug who made me come on the blog today.
Thanks Gemma! <3
I also dedicate it to new acquaintances, friends and allies and new Skuttlebugs that I've yet to meet))
((Oh Grand Mage, you are too kind *makes a hat of ice and takes it off to her*))
((Silente, do you know what happened last night, did you read it? do you know why I'm like this?))
((Hear hear! Although I feel I should warn you, not all that come here are friends or allies. Some are very much the opposite...))
*walks into chi's house*
*sees her collapsed on the floor*
*sighs and shakes her head*
Want some help there?
((Yes I do. I will be talking to Blake even if it wasn't fully his fault. Oh and its a absolute JOY that Alastairs still here. *glares at a wall*))
Yes, please Silente... *talks into the floorboards*
*smiles kindly*
*puts her arms around Chi's waist*
*picks her up easily and carefully puts her down on the couch*
How long till you heal?
As soon as I have enough magic power...I have no idea how long that will take... the other way is for someone with magic to heal me. I healed some of my right leg this morning, but only up to my knee *lifts it up*
*looks at the knee*
If you want I can piss you off..you tend to be powerful when I piss you off. That might help..or it might just cause you to face plant the floor again.
It will cause me to face plant the floor again. I literally have no magic power right now. I was already low because of Spring. I grow weaker every day.
You'll be fine. It might take a while but eventually you'll have enough power..
*sighs* we could try ask zaf a little bit later...or dragona..or any energy manipulator or healer.
*shakes her head* well I think you might just be grounded Chi. Your body his grounded you.
Woo hoo... *stares at her out tilts her head back a bit*
but**
*smiles*
At least you can learn from your mistake. Don't mess with Erebus. He's an evil dark god that has basically half possessed your fiancé.
That wasn't a mistake. I could have easily prevented this from happening and called out My true name too... but that would have made it go on... I knew Blake could still hear me... I knew he wasn't completely gone.

#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah he wasn't completely gone, he never is when Erebus breaks free. But maybe..maybe defend yourself better /while/ singing I think I wanna marry you to Erebus. Instead of just singing after you've been chopped up..
Like hell I would sing it to him. Damn him. You know, Erebus is like my great great uncle or something.
Fine then protect yourself /while/ trying to reach Blake! You get my point!
Yes, I get your point *sighs*
