Glory be.
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.

*randomly bops her on the nose*
BOP!
*starts giggling*
*glares as she can't do anything back*
Oh Chi cheer up!
*spins around*
Hey you know what..hmm...yes one minute! Don't go anywhere!
*bops her on the nose again*
*grins before running off for a moment*
*glares*
*explodes happily* GERBIL 🐹🐹🐹🐹🐹
*poofs for a few*
*an alarm sounds in the distance*
*comes back with two top notch bionic arms, a full bionic leg and a bionic half leg*
Tadaaaaa! Okay the instructions said they shouldjust slip on and that they need to be strapped on.
*police sirens are heard in the distance*
@Zaf: Yay! O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
S-silente put them back! It was a nice thought but they'll grow back eventually! someone who's not a mage needs them D:
*frowns*
But they were in the 'no longer needed' box. I'm not so cruel as to steal ones that need to be used. These are unwanted.
*the sirens and the alarm cut off*
Oh... Thank you..
Anyway er...
*puts the legs on that table*
Shall I help you with the arms I mean, you can't really do it yourself can you?
I POSTEDDDDDDDD.

And that's my writing blog, not my word art blog.
My word art blog has 'word art' in the URL. :P

Hi Dragona! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Dragona!
No, you're right, I can't. Yes please?
If anyone missed it I've posted more auras.
http://aurawallpapers.blogspot.co.uk
And Star, there's a new part of my ME story if you have time.
Yep sure Chi.
*starts slipping the left bionic arm over her left stump*
*used the dials to tighten it so it would stay on*
*wraps the strap above it making sure it was secure*
*turns on the arm so that it will react to Chi's nerves*
Okay that's one.
*does the same with the right bionic arm and the right stump*
*steps back and studies her handy work*
Okay done the arms! Can you do the legs yourself?
Your auras are ace, Dragona. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
Watching Top Gear on the internet - the episode has the Suicide Mission Theme from Mass Effect 2 in it and I want to see how they've used it since it's like my favourite soundtrack ever.
Currently they've shown a Corvette Museum in America and said that a rather large guy (as in, width ways - not in height), had stood in it and made a hole and it swallowed 8 cars - estimated damage at $37.
It was actually a sinkhole, but it's still pretty funny.
And thanks, Star.
Yeah *flexes her arms to make sure they work then fastens on the legs* and stands up, a little shaky at first then walks around and grins at her*
@Dragona: :P
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
*smiles back at Chi*
Better?
Haha - B said that in science, Sir was telling them that if they plugged their phones into a really high charge, they would blow up, and B's friend said "Yay! We'll be the first people to have successfully destroyed a Nokia!"
XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Much better. Thanks.
Good. You can keep them for as long as you like!
*nods* I'll keep them even when I don't need them. Just in case someone else is injured like this.
Good. Then I don't have to..er...'borrow'...more of them.
Mhmm *narrows her eyes at her*
*raises one brow*
What's with the narrowed eyes Chi? What's wrong?
*grins*
You trying to scare me again?
By now I've heard the Leaving Earth theme on Top Gear. And am 35 minutes in.
Dynamite
Nah. Just don't steal again for my sake. You might get into troube.
Trouble*
*cheers up* Blake will be home soon...
*creates a long dress with a trail so it covers the robotic legs and long sleeves that go past her hands to cover them*
Chi, I'm almost ALWAYS in trouble. And I don't normally 'borrow' things, its just I didn't know how much it cost and there was no where to put money. I left a note. It said:
Soz bout not payin 4 theez dint no ho much thy cst. I did it gangsta idiot style so it is harder to track the their as me. *nods*
Yes Blake will be home soon. You should talk to him. Bout Erebus I mean. Try to help him or something. Also your friend from earlier seems nice. *nods* I think she'll be a good bloggé.
**the thief as me. Not their.
Hey zaf!
She's already been on the blog, she just doesn't come on a lot anymore.
Why doesn't she come on much anymore?
Because she isn't on all the time and she doesn't like missing RP and stuff.
*Appears in a small storm of darkness*
Hey everyone...
Hey!
I have an arduous explication to write tonight. Three paragraphs
Wish me luck!! :)
Also, Alastair 0:0
Hey Blake.
*waves*
Hello Silente
Like, I love him :P
Anyway. EXPLICATIONS
ENGLISH CLASS
FUN
BUT NOT REALLY :)
I hope you all are having a great day!
But for now-
*Fades*
*sits watching*
How are you Blake? I'm fairly certain Chi's here..
ALASTAIR IS AMAZING
in a way
NICCOLO IS BETTER
MUCH BETTER
BUT
YOU KNOW
YOU KNOW
well, you know, but -
yeah
you know :P
IT BEGINS AND ENDS IN A
#ChaseForBookNine
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, STAR XD
*hugs*
*Not here, probably*
@Adra: YEAH XD
*hugs*
*hasn't really been here all day, haha :P*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh yes, he's fantastic >.>
And no, I'm not here.
Hey Chio
*Hugs her*
How're you feeling?
*walks around him and steps back, arms out wide* Ta da.
*sighs* is it safe?
Safe? Well as safe as it ever is.
With Alastair lurking you never know
Yeah Alastair Right. Never know where the little twerp is hiding. Hell I thought he was gone but apparently not. Ah well. Well figure out something to suppress him.
Right. For those who are interested I've done a post on my Mass Effect blog from a Top Gear Episode which has Leaving Earth theme in.
http://masseffectfanfiction.blogspot.co.uk
*Looks Chio up and down*
Are those prosthetic limbs?
*turns bright red* Um...yeah... Silente got them for me... I still can't heal them...
I'm sorry
*Hugs her again*
We'll find a way to heal you soon
*bows at the mention of her name*
*straightens and winks at Chi and Blake smiling hesitantly*
You know, I really think it would be nice if you all at least greeted people- I know I'm not here a lot, and never for too long, but it's still nice to feel welcome..
(Just a suggestion)
(That was awful grammar, wasn't it? Oops.)
Sorry Adra. Hello.
Sorry Adra I'm a bit distant at the moment so I haven't been paying much attention. Hey.
Why dont you stay out of what others do? And stop 'suggesting' aka telling people what to do. Hmm? Difficult for you but maybe you should.
Zafira, if you came on and no one greeted you, I'm sure you would feel the same.
And I wasn't telling people what to do, and I could have been much more rude about it.
Now please, stop.
What the hell happened between you two?
Guys. Don't. Please. I know you have your differences but please? Not now? :-)
They just have some differences Chi. They haven't worked them out yet. Let's leave it at that :-)
Anyways! How's things? No recent cataclysmic events other than Erebus?
I ought to go.
Enjoy your evenings.
Not that I know of..although if Chi's friend comes back on a small fight might happen...or rather we might end up 'summing up each others skills'
Bye Adra, have a pleasant evening!
Bye Adra.
Oooooooohhhhhhhhh a fight? Sounds fun. I'll have to show her how things work around here
*Smiles at the thought of a new opponent*
If someone doesnt shut that thing up..
Sorry I'm back
Cya Adra
Not you mister, you grounded too. Just like Chi's grounded.
I'm grounded? *tilts head*
On who's authority?
*stands tall and gives her a challenging look*
And Blake, she's been on the blog before, she just ghosts because she doesn't have a lot of time on her hands. I met her at Comic-con last year. She's amazing.
So... Can I rough her up a little..? If the situation ever arises..?
*Gives her a pleading look*
*nods slightly so Silente doesn't see*
*Does a discrete little happy dance*
Okay, Adrasdos Dark is not a thing. She is a human being, and when people shamelessly and ruthlessly antagonize her, she gets hurt. Got it?
*glares at them both* I saw that you too. Chi your grounded because, well, your not very string right now and you should be focusing on healing. Blake your grounded so that you can work on controlling the god of darkness you kindly absorbed. Also you're not allowed t 'rough her up a bit' until I've finished with her. Get in line boy!
Got it Moss.
**strong **to
Fine fine I'll wait my turn...
*sits on the couch*
Good boy. Well first she needs to come on again anyway before anyone can initiate her to blog land.
*starts swirl I round happily*
Random emotions!
*spins faster and faster*
Wheeeeee!
*faster and faster and faster and faster*
*Takes off his hoodie and holds up a hand to Silente, stopping her dead*
Here, let me do that
*Twirl his finger, making her spin far faster than before*
Who are we talking about initiating?
#ChaseForBook9
Yey!
*throws her arms out and her head back as she is spin*
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*grins and laughs her hair whipping around her like a wild animal in the moonlight*
Cassidy Clarimomde. She's techniqually already a bloggé but I've just met her so yeah..I'm going to say hello to her in a fund way!/initiate her!
You know how the dead men do it? Let's do that to new members ^.^
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YOU NEW PEOPLE ARE PLANNING TO INITIATE NEW PEOPLE I FIND THAT SO AMUSING AND CUTE FOR SOME REASON. XD
That's such a good idea, though . . . ! I've been commenting for over two years and we've never thought up anything like that. :O
Cassidy isn't new, though, so initiating her would be a bit like initiating people I used to know when I was new, and that would just freak me out, so maybe you should wait for some actual newbies. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
We should come up with an actual initiation thing.
With Cassidy instead of initiate me and Blake will just....fluff up her feathers. Yeah that's what we'll do.
Yeah, that sounds good
xD Same Star.
Wait Chi wasn't the dead men initiation for everyone to punch them as hard as they can? That seems a bit mean to new people just like.
"Hey guys I'm new!"
"Oh look new person initiation time!"
*new person is punched by numerous people and left wondering what they did wrong*
@Silente: Actually, you know, now you mention it, that initiated ROCKS. XD
Ten out of ten, Chi. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Nah let's just fight them. It'll be a great stress reliever :D
Those poor poor new people.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ I CAN MAKE STARS!
YOU MADE MORE THAN 10
It was actually to slap them across the jaw as hard as they could, Then it was hugs for Val.
Val was a young girl, not exactly going to bitch slap her to say "welcome to the team"
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★STARS★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
YOU HAVE FAILED SILENTE
*Le slap*
I'd botch slap her to say welcome to the team
*nods* I'd do that to anyone.
*bitch slaps Blake*
WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
Hey guys! What's going on?
>:O IT'S ON
*makes dozens of shadow hands, all of which slap Silente*
★★★★★★★★★★
...*looks around, confused*
*backs away slowly*
*dodge the shadow hands*
*moves a blur slapping Blake 10 times every second still dodging the hands*
*grabs his arm and pulls him away*
If I'm not allowed to fight neither are you.
((Run amethyst. Run away. Don't look back. You'll get infected with our unusually weirdness.))
*laughs* XD
Ah, you people are perfect. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks backwards as Chio drags him away, still reaching to slap Silente*
But- but it's not really fighting D:
*stares*
*considers running*
... *looks at wrist with no watch*
Well...look at the time!
*runs until I'm far enough so I could watch them from a distance*
*climbs up a tall tree*
No no Blake. No fighting for you. Even a little slap is fighting.
*grins and sticks her tongue out at him*
*His face immediately darkens*
I will do as I please.
Woah, guys, calm down! Blogland isn't just about fighting, you know. I mean, there's almost always at least some fighting. But... Well, something I've noticed about you guys- and please know that I have no intention of insulting any of you or what you choose to do with your time- is that you guys are all about comradery and protecting your friends and everything, but you always end up fighting and severely injuring each other because you're bored. And I'm not saying that's bad- Blogland's been like that in the past- but when I was roleplaying here over the summer, when we got bored, we saved the world from a villain or explored new planes of existence together- stuff like that. We went out on adventures and worked together against common enemies. It was very plot-based, and as a result it also involved a lot of character development. And again, there's nothing wrong with what you guys have been doing- it's just the difference between roleplaying and blogfighting- I only say this because you all seem to say that you don't want to hurt each other. There are things to do when you're bored other than fighting each other. But if you do want to fight each other, that's fine too- I just thought I'd mention that there are other things you can do to defeat boredom, if you ever feel like doing that. Just because you do give the impression that you don't like seeing each other hurt.
#ChaseForBook9
*pulls the grin back a little bit with some effort*
Chill Blake. Its only a joke. But seriously though, try to stay out of trouble, at least until you've got a better hold on Erebus.
No Aretha, you're right. We fight way too much and end up hurting more than helping each other. This coming from me eh? Either way I'm all for doing something else to pass the time.
Its just difficult to start intresting inter-time-zone roleplay that spent depend heavily on certain people being present..
**doesn't not soent
I think most of the fighting has been because of Blake because he can't stop his love for fighting... *glares at Blake*
Silente I will never "get a better hold on Erebus". Ever had a god in your head? Ever had one in there 24/7 edging you on to give him the control he wanted from the start? To kill and destroy and make the world his? The mental barriers I set up are as good as it's going to get. I understand and all but please try to get it, he's stronger than me and all I can do is push him down.
**spent not soent
Ask a Sensitive to help set up better mental barriers...
Sorry I poofed. This is random, but 1. My phone autocorrected the name of this blog to derekpandy.
2. I have a Mass Effect book which is 1 of only 5000 copies.
Hey Dragona! Welcome back!
I know he's stronger than you. He's a dark god and your..well...
*guestires at Blake* your just you. You could ask Nye to help...
Thanks Amethyst.
**gestures!
How about we start a role play involving minimum fighting?
I did Silente, I got five of them working on it and two survived.
HELLO YOUNG DRAGONA OF THE ENERGY MANIPULATORS! COME FORTH AND STAND IN THE LIGHT WITH YOU COMRADES AND ALLIES! BASK IN THE GLORY THAT IS BLOGLAND AND DISCUSS THE THOUGHTS OF YOUR MIND WITH US!
Well, that's true, Silente- I suppose it was easier in the summer when most if us had a lot more time on our hands. But you could always start a plot that doesn't necessitate everyone being in it, if you wanted, or you could have multiple plots running at the same time. So, like, if Chio and Blake are here, they pick up their plot about shadow gods, if Silente and Chio are here , they pick up their plot about ghosts, and if all three of you are here, you pick up your plot with Villain X. Blogland is allowed to defy the rules of time like that. Again, you don't have to do any of this- I'm not saying one way is better than the other. I just got the impression that blog fighting each other wasn't as satisfying as you wanted it to be.
#ChaseForBook9
Not entirely sure what that was...
Uh... Silente?
Are you okay..?
*looks rather concerned about her mental health*
...Silente, that might have been your...subconscious...
Slightly disturbing subconscious, if I may say so.
Tell me about it. Anywhos hello there Dragona, it's been a while
No Blaketh I am never alrighteth! My mental well being is not the besteth thing in the world and I do very much beleiveth it has been deteriorating rather tremendously recently!
Help! I'm broken again!
@Silente: It doesn't have to be reliant on other people. Like, in another reality, you can explore all kinds of aspects of that with different people or on your own. All you need is the idea. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*surprise hugs* Hey Blogland!
I had a great day today - I did absolutely nothing apart from sending off the provisional license slip.
WHY WON'T YOU REVISE YOU MONSTER?
Hey Tia!
I think my brain is part evil, part cautious. I mean, as I walk down the street I can feel myself analysing where the biggest threats will come from and how to counter them.
THEN being evil is a lot more fun than being nice. Lets face it, heroes have huge weaknesses. Whereas a bad guy isn't bound by any restrictions so is always more powerful, despite what superhero stories think.
Oh jesuz
*Runs up to Silente and grabs her by the shoulders*
Silente! How make Blakes do you see?!
*Shakes her back and forth*
Don't lose you mind!
Heloo there Tai! Of what monster does thou speak?
...I see three Blakes...
@Dragona: I don't think that's evil at all. :)
Hey Tia! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
CRAP! Amethyst is getting it too!
Somebody get a psychiatrist!
I see my one and only ^.^
Looks like I'm not insane after all.
...*laughs* just kidding!
How plausible does "Mum, we need to buy a new shower curtain because my nonexistent character doesn't like yellow ones" sound? XD
#ChaseForBookNine
There be twice the amount of half the Blake's that currently occupy my vision young chap.
*pats his head*
Aw love you too Chio BUT NOW REALLY ISN'T THE TIME THERE ARE PEOPLE LOSING THEIR BRAINZ!
Actually, I see... two Blakes, three Chiones, ...and half a Silente... Oh! And One and a half Stars!
What y'all on about? There's quite clearly seven Blakes. O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
@Amethyst: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Uh oh...Silente patted Blake's head...
((I dedicate this page to the randomness of the human brain an the joy of absolutely losing your mind))
Wow...actually that half a Star? I can't tell if that's really Star... All I see are arms and legs hanging around in midair... Star? Is that you?
Good ded, Silente. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*His face becomes dark and stoic. Darkness crawls in from all corners of the earth, surrounding him and swirling slowly and ominously*
Never.
Pat.
My.
Head.
*nods at Silente* Good ded.
*goes up to two Blakes and pats each of their heads, alternating between the two*
*runs up behind Blake and pats his head then turns and runs away*
Hey, Star, Amethyst, Silente and Blake!
The monster within us all.
As Amethyst replied first, she (are you a she???) has won a bad joke.
Knock knock.
@Amethyst: It's me. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Now it's better! It's okay Blake...don't feel jealous that your other head is getting petted but not yours! I'm patting both of them!
I generally don't lose my mind, I get lost within the confines of my own mind.
*laughs* XD
#ChaseForBookNine
*posh voice* Why ever not my young chap? Patting ones head is a sign of affection and friendlyness and SOMEOME SAVE ME! and ignore that its just a random part of the brain that doesn't understand it is impolite to interupt someone when they are speaking she rather impolite and WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING?! and there she was again buts its fine people.
(yes, I'm a she)
Who's there?
Who's Blake?
@Dragona: I can empathise. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, for the joke:
Me
WHO,S THERE TAIA!
Blake is a figment of your imagination. Me who?
@Tia: That person called Blake. *points to Blake*
:P
(Hunter's actually really freaked out and is telling me to go spend the night in the loft and stuff like that and I'm not entirely sure what to do. D:)
#ChaseForBookNine
Aww! Look! Blake's calmed down! *increases patting of both heads*
Meow.
Bad joke confirmed.
Who's Blake? Who's Hunter? Who's Star? Who's Tia?
- Ashe.gif
*Starts to tear up*
Stahp it... ;-;
I have to go now, bye!
(star, dunno if you saw earlier but there's a new part of my ME story)
*laughs at Tia's joke* That WAS a pretty bad joke :D
...I see two-thirds of a Tia now...
