Wraparound!!

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.

A kingdom of isolation.

said...

...

said...

((Less suspicious now.))
And it looks like, Chi's the queen.

Chione Asahina said...

The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside!

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry, I had my tea.

said...

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried..

Chione Asahina said...

*makes snow fall around them, just a little because her power is weakening*

Chione Asahina said...

Don't let them in, don't let them see.

said...

Be the good girl you always have to be

Chione Asahina said...

Conceal, don't feel.

said...

Don't let them know

Am I alone?

said...

Okay then.
*walks over to the ice coffin*
*looks at the small child inside*
*smiles at the peaceful look on her face*

said...

*the small smile that was frozen stiff*
*her wild hair that had dried and also stiffened*
*her green dress, which had somehow survived the ordeal without so much as a rip*

Unknown said...

Hello? Anybody here?

said...

*wonders who she had been*
*the sights she had seen*
*and who would morn for her*

said...

Hello Rhydian.

Unknown said...

Hello Friendship. Nice to meet you, I'm Rhydian/Rhyds/Sky! How are you?

said...

I'm Friendship Manuel. You can make your own nicknames. I'm fine, just wondering if the girl that no longer resides within this shell lived her life well.
*gestures to the ice coffin*

Unknown said...

Oh right...Cool, alrighty then. I shall come up with a nickname for you in my own time don't worry lol :P

Chione Asahina said...

WELL NOW THEY KNOW!

((Sorry for poofing))

Unknown said...

GTG NOW! D: BYE!!!!!!!!!!!

said...

That's fine. Its not that easy apparently to make a nickname for friendship.
*turns back to the coffin*
*looks down at the girl inside again*
*wonders where she is now*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

LET IT GO

said...

LET IT GO!

said...

((Bye rhydian))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*laughs* We made a parody of Do You Want to Build a Snowman, oh my god when its over you're all gonna love it

said...

Me and a friend made a more...demonic? Version of Let it go. Its called Let them run.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

We're doing one for Niccolò prior to meeting Ari. I just have the refrain currently.

said...

Cool. Chione have you poofed AGAIN?

Chione Asahina said...

Can't hold it back anymore!

said...

Let it go

Chione Asahina said...

Let It go!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*giggles* Let the storm rage on! The cold never bothered me anyway.

said...

Turn my back and slam the door!

said...

((Not yet zaf))

Chione Asahina said...

I don't care, what they're going to say!

said...

((Now zaf))

said...

((Or not))
Let the storm rage on.

Chione Asahina said...

THE COLD NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY!

said...

Its funny how some distance,

Chione Asahina said...

Sorry, I had to say that part lol

Chione Asahina said...

Makes everything seem small

said...

((I know you did chione))

said...

And the fears that once controlled me

Chione Asahina said...

Can't get to be at all

said...

Its time to see what I can do

Chione Asahina said...

To test the limits and break through

said...

No right no wrong no rules for me

Chione Asahina said...

I'm free!

said...

Let it go!

Chione Asahina said...

Let it go!

said...

I am one with the wind and sky

Chione Asahina said...

Let it go

said...

Let it go!

said...

*looks at chione expectantky*
*fogs up part of the coffin*
*writes 'you'll never see me cry' in the fog*
*smiles encouragingly*

Chione Asahina said...

You'll never see me cry!

said...

And here I stand!

Chione Asahina said...

((ok ok I was getting to it! geez!))

Chione Asahina said...

And here i'll stay!

said...

Let the storm rage on..

Chione Asahina said...

My power flurries through the air

said...

Into the ground.

Chione Asahina said...

My soul is spirling in

said...

Frozen fractals all around

Chione Asahina said...

And one thought crystalizes

said...

Like an icy blast

Chione Asahina said...

I'm never going back...

said...

The past is in the past

Chione Asahina said...

let it go

Chione Asahina said...

((did you die? *looks at coffin* heh))

said...

((Funny.))
Let it go!

Chione Asahina said...

And i'll rise like the break of dawn

(please say it twice? :3))

said...

Let it go!
Let it go!

Chione Asahina said...

*flicks hair*

That perfect girl is gone

*complete sass*

said...

And here I stand stamd

Chione Asahina said...

In the light of day!

said...

Let the storm rage onnnnnnn

Chione Asahina said...

The cold never bothered me anyway.

*throws her hands up and bows*

said...

*claps for Chi*
*looks down at the coffin*
Do you miss her? Your fallen friend?

Chione Asahina said...

*looks away*

I do.

Chione Asahina said...

Although...She loved Frozen, so...Somehow I feel a part of her lives in me, and it felt better singing that with you... It feels like she's still here with us *chuckles*

said...

*smiles sadly at the back of Chi's head*
Of course you do.
*reaches gently into her mind*
*sends out calming subconscious thoughts to try help her*
So was so young.

Chione Asahina said...

That, I'm afraid, makes it worse.

said...

Sorry. Didn't mean to make it worse.
*stops with the mind stuff*
At least, in a a way she lives on. Gone but not forgotten. Not dead, just sleeping. In our hearts and souls and the memories we hold.

Chione Asahina said...

I meant, that you said she was young. That makes it worse...that she looks like a child.
*turns round and puts a lid over the coffin*

said...

Just because she looks like a child didn't mean she didn't live a long happy life,
*pauses a moment*
Does her family know?

Chione Asahina said...

I-I...*shakes head*

She never mentioned any. We're her family now.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

OH MY GOD OK THE FIELD TRIP WAS AWESOME

said...

I see. Well, as far as families go she found a good one here. Have you made any plans for her yet?
*sends calm, centering thoughts to Chiones subconscious again*

Dragona Pine said...

Sorry, was just altering my Battlelog emblem to the N7 logo from Mass Effect so when I drive tanks it'll appear on them.

said...

((Its fine dragona. Wb zaf))

Chione Asahina said...

No...but I think we should have the Funeral tonight. Everyone is invited of course. Ari and Adra too.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ah hi sorry I'm excited. We went to see The Music Man today and it was amazing. The college that did it was just, wow.

said...

Of course. I was just thinking that..well...bodies have a tendency to not last long...

said...

((When you say music man I start thinking of the song..))

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I can turn it to stone to preserve it and turn it back to normal. Not hard. *shrugs*

said...

((Nm miss read the comment Chione! Ignore that))

So soon? Do you have any plans?

Chione Asahina said...

I kinda don't want to go... *laughs*

But she will be disappointed in me if I don't.

said...

Don't want to go? Why ever not? Its a celebration of someone's life. A party to welcome them to their new world. A way to show your all fine.

Chione Asahina said...

Because i'll just make everyone more upset...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey guys, can anyone help me get Aro out? *points to where the rocks Adra made still bind Aro* He's breathing just, stuck.

Aro: I'm fine! Alastair didn't even want to...

Krystal: *may simply be in shock from the night* He cut me...

said...

But as her letter stated in the part to you, she wants you to move on. Like she said, you have Blake, just as you all have each other. She does not want you to dwell on her. She wants you all to be happy and carry on.

Chione Asahina said...

One of my best friends died. I lost a part of me. I won't be the same.

*walks over to Zafira and the pile of rocks*

said...

*sends calming thoughts to Krystals subconscious mind to calm her down and help her come out of her shock*

said...

*whispers*
Just because your not the same doesn't mean you can't move on in your life..

Chione Asahina said...

*tries to seem calm but is slowly cracking inside*

*creates as many ice hands as she can and lifts up the rocks ontop of Aro*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: Hi Chione!

Krystal; Thank you. *sits down*

*looks over at Aro, fighting back screams of pain from my ribs*

said...

Your welcome Krystal.

Chione Asahina said...

*wavers and falls down to one knee*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: Please don't crush me....*closes eyes, exhausted from the night*

Chione Asahina said...

Get...out...I-I'm not strong enough to...hold all of these...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey hey Chi...do you need help?

Krystal: *smiles slightly, just waiting for Aro to be safe*

said...

*moves over to chione*
*grabs her gently by the shoulders and guides her into a sitting position*
Are you okay? Do you need to go to your house?

Chione Asahina said...

Yes, help would be nice.
*is holding the larger rocks off him with all her remaining
strength*

Get him out quick!

Chione Asahina said...

I'll be fine...I'm just getting weaker every day...

said...

*rushes forward*
*looks inside the rocks*
*grabs aro under his arms*
*lifts him out and moves awa from the rocks sitting him next to Krystal*

Chione Asahina said...

*collapses and drops the rocks, panting*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Aro: Thank you. *lays head against Krystal, falling asleep*

Thank you guys..I'm beyond exhausted. *heals my own ribs, and just staggers to a tree* I hate Alastair....

Krystal: He won't come back, will he?

said...

*moves to Chione*
*picks her up*
You need to sit down and have a drink.
*takes her back to her house*
*sits her on the couch ignoring the blue stone cradled in the gold claw on her table*
*goes to her kitchen to make some tea*

Chione Asahina said...

Chione Asahina said...

T-thanks.

said...

Think nothing of it.
*comes back with tea*
*and milk*
*and sugar*
*places it on the table and notices the stone*
What's this?

said...

**iced tea

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: *comes down* Can you shadow-walk?

Probably.

Krystal: I can carry Aro, he's very light.

Ravel: No, I got him. I rather not test that, you're probably exhausted.

Krystal: Thank you, Grand Mage.

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, so I just finished working with my purple pencil and look how small it is. O_O

#ChaseForBookNine

Dragona Pine said...

Lol Star.


Do you have time to read my ME story?

said...

((Oh star, that's not a pencil anymore. Its a stub, I can't believe its actually still functioning.))

Chione Asahina said...

I just thought it was pretty. I like Blue, if you haven't noticed. *picks it up* I'll be right back, putting it back upstairs *smiles*

*walks upstairs and places it on her bedside table next to the letter*

*goes back downstairs and drinks her iced tea*

Star Inkbright said...

Probably not - I'd like to get my word art all blended and finished tonight . . . :/
Idk though. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: I KNOW.

It's not been fitting in the sharpener for the past hour, so I've been attacking it with scissors. :O

So time-consuming. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

said...

*takes a sip of his own tea*
So, you made any plans for...her...or you just going to wing it?

Star Inkbright said...

Hunter says winging it sounds good.

#ChaseForBookNine

said...

((When will you put the poor thing to rest. Surely its time is up?!))

Star Inkbright said...

*compares it to the new one XD*

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

I don't know... I-

Oh, *looks at her hands* I think i'll have to buy chairs for it... I can't make any...

I think i'll make a speech, i'll wing that. I'm good at talking >.<

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Ravel: *uses air to levitate Aro towards him and then grabs Aro*

*places hand on Ravel* Come on Krystal

Krystal: *takes Aro's hand*

*shadow-walks to the treehouse, and then wanders to room exhausted falling asleep*

Ravel: *places Aro in his own room*

Krystal: *sits with Aro, laying beside him*

Ravel: *smirks* Stay safe. *goes to Olivia* Your mom is back, let her sleep.

Olivia: Did Alastair attack?

Ravel: She'll tell you when she wakes, go play.

Olivia: *giggles, and runs*

said...

What about the venue? And the songs? And the invites? And burning or burying?

Star Inkbright said...

@Silente: Its time IS up. I just needed to finish the whole page. :)

Now I have to go back and do blending. *nods*

BUT I FINISHED IT. :)

#ChaseForBookNine

said...

((YEY YOU FINISHED IT! Okay go blend then.))

Star Inkbright said...

*shrugs helplessly at Manuel*

@Chi: Hunter and Ez can supply chairs . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: *runs looking for everyone* Chione? Where is Elsa? (chi- Olivia nick named you Elsa)

Chione Asahina said...

Venue...just outside next to the forest I suppose...

Songs: Frozen..

Invites... ded of next page...

I don't think she would like the burning part... perhaps I could Freeze her then burry her so her body doesn't decay... *sigh*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

hmmm.

Chione Asahina said...

*fistpumps* I'm Elsa.

Hey Mara

said...

Why don't you bury her under her oak tree?

Chione Asahina said...

Mine.

said...

Chi's ded!

John said...

*Pops up out of Friendship's shadow*
Hello everyone, very nice job on the song.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: We could use Frozen Heart! And Let It Go....*bites lip* Why did Silente die?

Chione Asahina said...

I dedicate this page to Silente Tempest. Our friend. One of our family. Tonight is her funeral and everyone is invited to come and celebrate her life with us... Thank you.

(Won't go into too much detail because of the speech)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: SHOW YOURSELF ALASTAIR!!!

said...

*looks down at Olivia*
*smiles and kneels next to her*
She's not dead darling, just sleeping. Its okay.
*gives her a lolly pop and a chocolate bar*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

i got one less problem without ya..

i think this applies to more than just relationships...

said...

*cough* Chi..time? *cough*

said...

Hey Mara.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: Candy! *giggles* You know, I know she's dead.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

hello everyone *waves*

said...

*sighs* then your a mature child. Don't eat that all at once. You'll get sugar hyper.

said...

How are you Mara?

Dragona Pine said...

Seriously, if any of you are thinking about getting some headphones, I recommend the Turtle Beach Earforce P11. The sound quality is awesome. And, if you have a games console, it's also compatible with that. And any television with a USB port (which is quite a lot of them, nowadays).

said...

Oh also Hey Blake. Forgot to say ello to you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Olivia: Hi Mara! And I wanna be hyper!!! *eats chocolate* I also know because I was trying out Necromancy and the ring I have is cold. I'm just experimenting with discipline, I don't know which one I like best yet.

John said...

Quite alright Mr. Manuel I tend to be a bit of a shadow when I'm not beating things up.

Chione Asahina said...

*looks at Star* Chairs?

Star Inkbright said...

Don't look at ME! :P

#ChaseForBookNine

said...

Sounds like an interesting existance Blake.
Chi, the funeral, you forgot to put time.

said...

((Looks at hunter and ez))

Maralie Lily Charm said...

how am i?
not good, if i'm being completely honest. how are you?

said...

**look

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Guys guys this is to the tune of Do You Want to Build A Snowman


Derek: Do you wanna kill the fan base?

Come one we can’t delay!

The books have already arrived and the customers are ready to pay.

Ravel killed off Shudder, and Ghastly too.

The fans are oh-so pissed.

Do you wanna kill the fan base? It won’t just be the fan base.

Nick: Go away Derek!

Derek: Okay, bye.

[Musical Interlude.]

Derek: Do you wanna kill the fan base?

The cats are staring me down.

I’m terrified for my life and I think that they are minion spies!

I just got this package from Zafira and I think it might be a bomb!

[Tick tock tick tock tick tock …]

[Musical Interlude]

Us: Come on we know you’re in there.

Becky is saying hi.

Zaffy has some dynamite and is ready to explode.

We all banded together, pitchforks and fire

And you’re gonna die!

For trying to kill the fan base …

said...

Fine thank you. What's wrong with you Mara?

John said...

Pure genius Zafira
*Applauds*

said...

Nice Zaf!

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*bows* Half lyrics by me, half by Vinette.

Star Inkbright said...

OHMYGOSH ZAF. XD *laughs*

I BET DEREK DOES THAT AND ALL. XD

Hunter: Yeah, sure.
*takes off his jacket and hands it to Ez* Hold this. No, like THAT. God.
Ez: *rolls her eyes and holds the jacket by its end*
Hunter: *reaches it and pulls a row of chairs out; they're plastic chairs, all joined together, so they slide out quite nicely*
*inside, there's the sound of something falling over*
*then pulls another row out, disappearing half into the portal*
*then a third row out*
We don't need any more, do we?

#ChaseForBookNine

Maralie Lily Charm said...

oh, you know. just the realisation that i'll probably lose the chance to meet my idols, and homework, and people in general.

John said...

*Walks over to Chio*
You there forgot to say hi, other people I can understand. But you...
*Looks down at her, arms folded*

*Suddenly breaks into a smile and hugs her tightly, lifting her off her feet*

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Mara* :(

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

*rubs her temples* I can't believe we're doing this... Silente is dead and we're fussing over details like chairs and a venue?!

We're having it now. 9:40pm My time. Now.

Blake I'm sorry I just...

said...

*pats Mara comfortingly on the shoulder*
Hey thats not true! The not meeting your idols bit. I can understand the homework problem and the people problem. They can both be horrible!

said...

Now?!
*rushes off to change into something better than tattered old jeans*

John said...

*Shadows instantly writhe around him, forming into a suit and tie blacker than night*
I do love necromancy...

Chione Asahina said...

*sighs*
*walks into the house and changes into a black dress, the only one she has*

said...

*comes back wearing a suit and tie*
*has his head bowed*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

no.. i entered a competition to meet little mix but i just know i won't win because my video is shit and there are all these amazing artists and everything and then there's me

said...

Mara you are amazing! Don't let anyone say your not!

said...

*pops up before Chi leaves the house*
*smiles at her with a sad look on her face*
Its okay. You can get through this. Just pretend she's sleeping.
*smiles and watches her*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

This is more aimed at how Niccolò was prior to becoming less violent. To the tune of Let It Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen.

A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I’m the king

The wind is howling like the names inside my head

Couldn’t shut them up, heaven knows I tried.

Go get more names and let them in

Be the bad boy you are destined to be

Conceal don’t feel don’t let them know!

Well now they know!

Leather coat! Leather coat!

Concealing all my knives!

Leather coat! Leather coat!

And I will stab you now!

I am a total psychopath.

Let them burn down.

I’ve hated people any way.

Its funny how a few stabs, can kill a man real quick.

And with Alastair assisting, they're sicker than sick.

It’s time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through.

No right or Wrong, No rule I need. I’m Free

Leather coat! Leather coat!

I am one with the burning fire!

Leather Coat! Leather Coat!

That scholar boy is gone!

Here I stand covered in your blood!

Let the world burn on.

[Musical Interlude]

My power flurries through the air and to the ground.

My soul is fractured into many pieces all around

And one thought turns into a million just like that!

I’m never going back the past is all I have!

Leather Coat! Leather Coat!

And I’ll creep like a stormy sky

Leather Coat! Leather Coat!

I’m an emotionless guy.

Here I stand on my family grave!

Let the world burn on!

I’ve hated people any way.

Star Inkbright said...

@Mara: But you're amazingful. :) *hugs*

#ChaseForBookNine

Chione Asahina said...

Don't... You know I can't do that. *looks at the stone*

*walks out, hair flying in the wind behind her*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Mara, your video was creative and quirky. They'll love it. [hugs]

Star Inkbright said...
