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.

I wanna parachute too!
*runs after Silente and jumps*
*Catches Amy with a tendril of shadow*
Amy no! That fall would kill you
*bursts out crying and runs towards Blake*
I'M PARACHUTING!
*points to parachute*
LET ME PARACHUTE!
*Holds Chio close*
It's okay... It's what she wanted
*gently strokes her hair as he tries to keep a straight face*
*steps from the shadows*
What was all that about? Are we going cliff jumping? Oh golly please tell me we're going cliff jumping!
*the small limp body is pushed and pulled by the current*
*it eventually emerges on the damp sands of the beach far below*
Nurse: *stuttering* He was behind on his daily injections. The only way for him to become immune and get to the level of everyone else was to IV it.
He is O negative and all the blood packs are over in the freezer in the pharmacy across the corridor.
Oh for the love of... FINE
*Chucks Amy at the water below*
Yes! Let's cliff jump! And then allow that boat over there to let us go water skiing!
Oh it seems roleplay is happening. *figures I'm not welcome*
hello!
*falls toward the water*
*pulls parachute open*
*floats toward boat*
Hello Melanie.
*hugs him tightly, gripping his shirt, tears running down her face* But..who will I watch Frozen with...or fight with now... *looks up at him*
Hello Melanie!
Join us, Zafira!
*Adra's lying on the grass* Not cliff jumping, darlings. Instant death. *Her gaze slides over to Blake and Chione* And you two let it happen as well. I believe Alastair was right about what he told me- you lot are insensitive.
*Waves*
*Walks back into her portal, which shuts*
uuuuummmmmmm...
*the body lays cold and still as waves continues to lap at it, trying to reclaim the rest of the girl*
((Zaf quit feeling bad for yourself. You snap at Adra for absolutely no reason then run off to your sad little corner to cry about how everyone is so mean to you))
*lands on a boat*
*removes parachute and gets ready to water ski*
*looks around wondering where Silente is*
If she doesnt stop commenting....
*looks at cliff* Cliff...diving? *sighs* I'm not...well...okay I'll do it, can't kill me if I slow my fall before I go splat.
Melanie? What's wrong?
Wait is she dead? I can bring back the dead...
... does anyone have any clue as to where Snow and Lea are?
I haven't ROed properly since January...
If she doesn't stop commenting will happen! leave her the hell alone!
*RPed
...salt shaker is dead? O_O
...she's not, right?
Nothing*
No Zaf, this is what Silente wanted.
*Sinks into his shadow and reapers a moment later with Silente's body*
Leave me the hell alone and stop jumping down my throat.
*goes water skiing*
*hugs Amy* She is...
Hey Melanie.
So... Silente wasn't cliff jumping?
Guys, what's going on?
Did she? Was it about the whole?
Oh dear. *this whole time he's been inching ever closer to Dark Adra*
*yells* SOMEONE GET ME OFF THIS WATER SKI TO WHERE YOU GUYS ARE PLEASE?
She's dead?! But...no. I'm not letting her stay dead. I've lost Alexis to Alastair I'm not losing a friend to a cliff.
Jumping down your throat? how about you ignore her. You're pissing me off, snapping at everything she has to say.
*the body lays limp and cold in his hand*
*water drips from the tips of the drenched hair*
*a faint smile is frozen onto her lips*
*the body is paler than usual, almost grey now*
*the eyes are closed*
*Glares at Zaf, his eyes darkening*
NO Zafira.
((Zaf, there is a plot here.))
*stops water skiing*
*gets onto boat*
*points toward cliff where everyone is*
ONWARD!
*Adra left via portal, to go do fun stuffs like murder and cannibalism and making out*
*whistles for Zypherain*
*gets on and flies to everyone*
Are you lot that stupid?! Good god you don't let people die.
((Ok? Cool well whatever you dont need to tell me. So sorry if i fucking react))
*Well, not making out per se*
...why did she...die?
Damn...
*moves closer*
Was this about the bombs, or…?
Adra. I'm going to say this as nice as I can handle: Please stop fawning over Alastair every other comment. It is upsetting me greatly and I would really appreciate it if you could tone it down slightly.
I don't know...Amy... everyone gets depressed sometimes...maybe it was too much for her...
DAMNIT TEMPEST
today will be a goid day. I have a saying "if your crushed before 9 am, its going to be a good day". Crushed RP wise, anyway.
But...now I only have a sugar and pepper shaker! It's incomplete! :(
Salt was important one too...it makes food taste better...
So THAT'S why school is so bad!
((Thank you. See, etiquette. Hide your emotions that offend people away and everyone gets along.))
Unless they wanted to die.
*walks over to them head bowed and tears streaming from his eyes*
I have a letter for you all. From...
*looks at Silente body*
From her.
Why would she want to die?
Friendship Manuel!
Very well, Zaf
Well boo hoo. Remember your Niccolo phase? Just let her do her RP. It's a good story.
Friendship....*bites lip, visibly upset despite my heart racing from the death around me*
Oh, hello.
Do you always walk around shirtless?
Alexis isn't dead Zaf, we just need to figure out how to... un-dollify her
She wanted me to read it to you all.
*holds up a piece of paper*
I guess I know why now.
Again- I was asked to tone it down, I actually still do like Niccolò quite a lot, and I asked nicely. I would be grateful I did. I don't care if she writes, but I just would appreicate it if she toned down the fawning. That's all I asked, again, be happy I asked nicely.
((I think I'm going to bring snow over. Make like she arrived around the time trip and amy did))
*Snow stares at the body, but her thoughts are somewhere else*
*quietly* She's not living, is she? *doesn't have the doll currently* Just read it Friendship. I may as well kissmy emotions goodbye.
Well then, go ahead.

........
Well okay then.
((Um, mara, Silente just died. >.<))
YAY MARA :DDDDDDDDD
WOOOOO!
*looks around*
um...how about we use this time to give her a moment of silence?
((*tackles mara* ASDFGHJKLASDFGUJKLJGSGDUWK!! HOPE YOU WIN!!!))
(YAY MARA BBY *hugs*)
A bit late Silente.
((I'll read it, fab))
This is as the letter reads:
Friends, I'm sorry to have done this. Know it was not my intention to hurt any of you. If I could have thought of a better way I would have, but this was the only option. I won't go through the reasons why, just know I'll always be with you, no matter what. Until the end and even beyond that. Amethyst, I need you to take care of Onzwa. Care for him. Zaf, I know your hurting already but remember that to find the way you need to try. Star, keep being the bubbly bubble I know and love. Mithria. Oh Mithria. Don't worry. Look after Chi for me. Blake, hey. You can get past this. Look after Chi as well. Chi. I'm sorry to have done this to you. I hope you can get past it. You have Blake, you don't need me. Everyone else who I haven't mentioned, you'll always be with me. Thanks for making my time fun and enjoyable. And finally, Alastair. You win. Well done. Game over. I'll see y'all real soon guys. Love you.
Silente.
Trip. If that was a pun just get out.
...how will she see us real soon if she's dead?
Oh! Blake! Is she planning on using necromancy to bring her back to life? :D
*stares at the ground, still in tears* Silente...
How will I take care of two!?! I can hardly take care of one! *sighs*
I'll do it for Silente! I'll do my best!
...where is Onzwa anyway?
*Onzwa comes flying down looking for his owner*
*he sees he body on the grass and moves towards it, nudging it with his nose*
...hello Onzwa...*pets him* I'm going to take care of you now...
*shadows lash around me, protecting me in my despair* She didn't....she....*can feel the tears streaming down my face* No no no no!!!
*blinks slowly*
*silente-ly turns around and walks away*
*hugs everyone*
Sorry, Amethyst.
She wasn't a hero, she was kind of a villain. She wasn't even on anyone's records, but she was our friend, and we should treasure that.
Plus no one round here ever stays dead.
*Onzwa blows air through his nose into Silente face*
*he nudges her again with his nose*
Oh! *watches Onzwa*
*whispers* maybe Onzwa will bring her back to life?
...wait a second...
What am I going to do now? I don't have a SALT SHAKER!
*looks around nervously*
It's incomplete! ...salt shaker...
Where am I suppose to find a new one!?!
((Zaf awkward a time as this may be you still need to dedicate.))
*Onzwa stares down at the girl not comprehending why she hasn't woken up*
*onzwa continues nudging the body*
Alastair is not going to win. We need to get him back in his own head. For Silente, Alexis, Ari, and anyone Alastair has killed or tortured. *takes a shakey breath* I have to file her death in our records. I'm placing her name in the Hall of Rememberance.
*Suddenly turns and whips a massive tendril of darkness into the ground, leaving a massive gorge*
*Takes a deep breath and turns back*
If I see Alastair again I'll kill him.
I dedicate this page to friends. Friends are with you through it all, until the end.
To the good- good will triumph over evil. Evil will not win, Alastair will not be given what he wants.
Blake no! *hugs him tightly from behind* We can't kill him, remember? Niccolo is a friend of everyone.
I'd rather you didn't. Nic is a pretty cool guy. *goes over to Friendship*
So, who're you?
I'm no one trip. A friend from a far.
...what happens after a person dies? Can they still be a salt shaker?
*gasps* what if...Silente...reincarnates into a salt shaker? ...is that even possible?
No, Blake. Silente would want Niccolò back. This is what Alastair would want. We're going to pummel the bastard back inside his own head and I don't care if I loose my name or sanity to do it.
((Is it weird that I want to be touchered...? *slowly backs away from myself* yeah... its weird...))
Cool, cool. So what's the deal with your shirt? Did you lose it, is it in the wash?
AND WHEN IS HE EVER IN CONTROL?!
Nic is as good as dead in his own mind, and Alastair runs rampant in the mean time.
*looks down at his bare chest*
I just don't like them. To constricting.
Friendship? What should I do without my salt shaker?
((I WILL BE THE SALT SHAKER UNTIL SILENTE IS BACK!))
*smiles sadly at Amethyst*
I'm afraid I do not know Amethyst. That is a question that has yet to find its answer. You must live on. And remember, she will always be with you, in here
*points to his heart*
Blake please...
*her face wet with tears*
Just let it go...
((that one was for Silente ))
*turns to Blake* Never. Say that again. Niccolò Croatoan is a far more honourable man, what he suffers through will never compare to you. Niccolò would rather die then have Alastair out, we will be doing this in a non-lethal.
*looks at the letter he still holds*
*hands it over to Chione*
Please, take this. You seem like the person she would want to keep it.
*sees Snow*
*Snow=potential salt shaker*
*hugs Snow* Salty...replacement...
If he would rather die then why are you stopping me?
*Turns on his heel and in a storm of shadow that leaves the ground torn is gone*
*looks down at the letter, then to friendship*
*nods and wipes her face*
Yeah, yeah. I can dig that. 'Specially with.. Well, *makes wild gestures to his chest*
So, you must live somewhere warm then?
*hugs Amy*
((I just want to point out that you all ignored my horrid line up there. " *silente-ly waljs away* "))
*holds the letter tightly*
*would go after Blake but it still in shock*
*Sits on the grass near her body*
*hugs Chi*
*whispers to her so no one can hear*
And one more message from Silente. Lock and load. Its time for the shit to hit the fan.
*steps back from the hug*
*looks around*
Forgive me for I must depart.
Chi, do you want to help me carve Silente's name into the Hall of Rememberance?
What are we going to do with her body?
((I saw it, Snow.))
Bury it. Give her honor.
((I spent 5 minutes thinking of that xc))
*nods slightly at Friendship, holding the letter tighter*
Yes Zafira...that will be nice...thank you.
Bury it where?
What about... is there some kinda magic to...does she...have an Echo Stone?
We could go and look in...her treehouse, Amy...
((Oh my god... echo Silente..... please.... I want to put my hand through her head))
No, but I can turn her body to stone to preserve it.
Chi, we can go when we've said our goodbyes.
Yes...I suppose so.
Yeah, bye.
Well, she was English, if she's going in anyone's hall of remembrance it's going to be theirs.
However, it's very hard to remember someone who according to your records never existed.
*gets onto Zyph*
Where is her treehouse? Anyone want to come with me? You can ride on Onzwa...
((*cough* Chi! *cough* funeral! *cough*))
*snow nods at Amy*
I'll come.
If a person was signifcant to any Elder, its allowed. I have the names of Irish sorcerers from the Mevolent war in America, Ravel said there are a few Americans. I need only ask Graves for permission ((he is your Grand Mage I think. I lost track of the amount of dead Elders))
Do you know where Silente lives? ...lived...
*she walks over to Onzwa*
Hey Onzwa, come on... *she strokes the horse*
*Snow thinks* ...no... I dont think so....
((Madame I'll have you know my Grand Mage is Cassidy Clairmonde!))
Fine, fine.
You know, I know a nice spot where we could bury her.
Chione? Where does...did... Silente live?
Go on, I can preserve her body if you guys would like.
((Chione has turned over and is pretending to be asleep, despite my efforts to wake her. So just consider her on brb >.<))
*Snow carefully leads Onzwa over to Amy's side* *she smiles faintly* I've always been good with animals...
No Zaf, I think it's best we not tamper with the body...
*nods* Can you help me take care of him? I don't think I'll be able to handle two without help...
Whatever you guys want. *is trying to calm down*
*she nods at Amethyst* sure...
*she stokes the horse once more before climbing on him*
um, should we ask around? It doesn't seem like anyone knows where she lived...
No I don't know either
Two?
*through the magic of roleplay and time skip Snow and Amethyst discover where Silente's house was and are now there*
Well here it is! Silente's house!
((Yes! That makes it much easier!))
*gets off horse*
Okay. Let's start looking... if she even has one.
(Does she have one? I don't think we really know for sure...)
((XD))
*she jumps off of Onzwa and looks around* right...
(Can we just say she has one laying around?)
Well, have fun. I'll be off to bed now I've shown you where it is. Bye!
Toodles trip ((uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?)
Bye Trip.
Bye Trip
*looks around Silente's bedroom*
*sees an interesting looking box*
*interesting boxes!!*
And we will always have each other, in our time of need, Shilo (Daddy) you're the world to me (to me)
That's my ded, to being there for each other. Shall I say more?
To love another person is to see the face, of God
To love one another, something we all are able to do.
You are free now, you're with me now, where you'll always be.
And to have the courage to let go of a loved one.
(boxes? okay)
um... Snow? Funny boxes here...
*she wanders over* hmmm... *she picks one box up* fun
(Can we have like many different colored boxes and then they all contain different surprises? :D)
*sighs, walking slowly back to my treehouse, heart racing*
Aro: Are you alright?
No.
*stares at Snow's box*
*whispers* open it...
((Sure!))
*she fiddles with the box for a bit hefore it opens*
*cautiously looks inside* oh...
*pulls out a cactus*
Aw... NEXT!
*picks up a medium-sized box*
...*opens it*
*glitter explodes out of it and rains down in the room*
*goes ti the Sanctuary and looks ready to cry* *goes into office and works on the papers*
Glitter!!
*spots a small silver box*
*opens it and finds a small coin*
*frowns*
*picks up a long box with a bow on it*
*opens it up*
*sighs*
*takes out a swordfish surrounded by small mini bombs*
...What are we going to do with all this?
Leave it...
It's blogland, she's bound to come back.... even if it takes a million years...
*nods* Okay. Next box...your turn!
I like boxes...!
*works for several hours, well into the late night, absorbing self into the paperwork* *finally gets to the last paper: Reporting Alexis's Accident* I can't do this....
Hayley: *knocks on door*
Enter.
Hayley: *walks in* I've come to...ask something. I've been told you're having nightmares of Alastair.
Yes? Spit it out.
Hayley: I have worked with Henry Jekyll from England and I have something for you to take, it will keep your nightmares subdued, Grand Mage.
*sighs* Do as you like. You're head here.
Hayley: Grand Mage, may I ask what is wrong?
A lot. I've had Alexis turned into a doll and I've found a friend dead. Suicide.
Hayley: Grand Mage, think positive. Erskine Ravel is with you again, there are positive things in your life.
*smiles sadly* Alastair is back, Hayley.
Hayley: So, stop him.
It isn't simple.
Hayley: Grand Mage, you led us through the Mevolent and Sanctuary wars, you can do this.
*sighing, she picks up another box and opens it*
*inside sits an octopus*
Ooh, an octopus! That's just fascinating!
(Btw, I have a delivery for you, though apparently it will be more convenient for me to deliver it in three minutes. I'm just early)
((Boxs are xool, Delivery Guy))
...well...
*opens the largest box in the room*
*inside it sits a medium-sized box*
*inside that box sits a smaller box*
*inside that box is a small piece of paper*
*it reads: haha. nothing here! :P*
((Oh! What delivery?))
*taps his foot*
*checks his watch again*
Okay.
*hands an envelope to Snow*
*turns to Amethyst*
Would you like one as well? I have some extras.
Aro: *wanders alone outside*
*accepts the envelope in puzzlement*
*opens it*
Yes, please! :D
I love the Delivery Guy!
I should write a Ships between him and boxes :D
*Snow's envelope is blue, and it contains a brief and cryptic note. On one side, are the words "I'm sorry." On the other, the letters SEN*
*The paper is rather thin and smells faintly of lemon*
*The Delivery Guy digs through his bag of mail and pulls out a purple envelope that's shaped like a cupcake*
This one should do nicely. :-)
*Hands it to Amethyst*
Aro: *sits and watches the lake* Where is he?
*looks at the note*
*frowns*
*nods at the Delivery Guy* thanks...
Oh, well, I do love boxes. And envelopes...!
I'm afraid they don't much like me, though. *mournfully shows Adra a paper-cut on his finger*
Nonsense! You just have to find the right box!
*takes envelope*
*opens it carefully*
*Kisses his finger* It's okay, Delivery Guy. Some boxes are bent, some are flat, and some are circular. There's one out there for you.
Aro: *kicks rock* I don't belong here
*I should probably also mention, the SEN is to the far right*
*And Snow may recognize the handwriting*
You're welcome. :-) :-) :-)
Here's our business card, in case you need to sue us for any reason.
*Hands Snow and Amethyst each a small card with the following words in red ink*
The Delivery Service
((Address I can't be bothered to make up))
We take it where and when it needs to go.
