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.

*rushes out door*
Bye everyone!
*squeals* SPARKLY PERSON THINKS I'M COOL!
*bounces up towards the eiling again*
*slowly floats down*
*eyes still on Taia*
*and resembling saucers*
*or saucepans*
*without the handle, like*
*because SPARKLES O_O*
*then frowns, and drops back onto the sofa as his light goes out* Aw.
The sparkles went.
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye then Amethyst!
What do you suggest we do instead then Blake?
(@Star: Wow, yes. Yes. :) )
Aw, Bye Amethyst! *waves*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye, Amethyst.
#ChaseForBookNine
*eyes shift towards the people suggesting activities* Sparkles.
*eyes are a kind of orange-y purple*
*it's a weird colour*
#ChaseForBookNine
*grins at Hunter*
*glances back at Ez, indicating "But, he looks sad now. :("*
Hm? *tilts head towards the change-in-activity proposal* I don't mind, either way. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Ez: *shrugs at Taia* He'll be fine. *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
D: Aww.... *looks at Silente then looks back at Frozen, 'let it go' coming up soon*
((NOOOOOO DON'T LET THE SPARKLES GO! D:
THEY'RE TOO SPARKLY!))
#ChaseForBookNine
Ohhhh!
*sits and watches frozen again*
@Ez: Hm. Fair enough. :)
@Chi: If you want to keep watching, I'm cool with that, too. :)
(It's been on for about an hour realtime, so there can't be that long left now anyhow, right?)
*sparkles fade back up a little, only very dimly*
#ChaseForBook9
:D! SPARKLES!
*watches the sparkly person happily*
Ez: *sighs* *resigns self to another long period of trying to remove sparkles from everywhere she does* *they get so jammed in everything* *floorboards, keyboards, toasters*
#ChaseForBookNine
*goes
#ChaseForBookNine
*let it go comes on and she sings to it quietly so she doesn't annoy Blake*
*nods, slightly calmer, and watches the lyrics move across the screen*
#ChaseForBookNine
*quietly sings along with Chi*
*Leans back and closes his eyes*
*Sighs*
Anyone else tired?
((Does Hunter actually KNOW my name? xD
Not that I mind being 'the sparkly person' - it's pretty great. x) ))
@Ez: Sorry about that. :( I'll work on making my sparkles more easily removed somehow, in future. *nods*
*listens to Chi and Silente singing, smiling as she does* C:
#ChaseForBook9
*replies to Blake* Sparkles.
*eyes still watching screen*
#ChaseForBookNine
((I know your fake name.
But your real name is 'The Sparkly Person'.
Because you are a sparkly person. :D))
Ez: *laughs* It's fine, Taia. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
That' not really an appropriate response but okay...
*Look rather confuzled*
*smiles as the song drifts to a close*
*yawns a little*
*hugs the cushion tighter snuggling further into the couch*
@Blake: I'm usually tired. :P
Except, I'm not overpoweringly tired, anymore, actually. I'm mixed *bounces* and *yawns* pretty evenly. :)
((*laughs because Hunter x3*))
@Ez: *laughs, too* :)
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls at Blake* Sparkles are always an appropriate response.
Ez: *gives Hunter a what-even-is-this-place look, but in a kind of fond way*
Hunter: *shrugs* *mouths "Sparkles*
((Star: Hunter. <3
I'm glad he's invaded me. XD
And - that response to the tiredness question was so ace. :)))
Ez: *smiles at Taia :)*
#ChaseForBookNine
@Blake: Sparkles are ALWAYS an appropriate response. :P
(You guys I am grinn/laughing so much rn. Waaahhhh.:))
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: Blogland is ace. :)
Hunter: Not, it's just me that's ace.
And sparkles. :D
Star: OKAY THAT'S GETTING ANNOYING NOW.
Hunter: Sparkles are never annoying. :D
Star: -_-))
*nods at Taia :) *
#ChaseForBookNine
((*No
*hisses angrily*
STAR cannot TYPE.
*glares at her poisonously*))
#ChaseForBookNine
*nods at Hunter* Yes.
((@star: *nods* :)))
:)
and- xD
And- :)
#ChaseForBook9
((Star: @Taia: :) :) :) :) :) :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm tired too, Blake. B-but...Frozen...
*skips forward to the fixer-upper song*
((Star, being a human being, has to go to sleep now. I do apologise. It's not my fault humans are pathetic.
See you all soon. :)))
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye hunter! Bye star!
*starts drifting off slightly still hugging the cushion*
*relaxes and feels her eye lids drifting together*
((Okay, actually wbd/msd, now.))
Bye Hunter!
Also farewell to Ez, I suppose. *waves*
(Bye Star! *hugs*)
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at Silente as she looks over and turns the volume down a bit*
*watches the Anna and Hans bit and wants to throw the remote at the TV but it's new so doesn't*
*falls asleep*
*twitches now and again*
*a few minutes later after crying at the "act of true love" part, the movie ends and she switches the TV off*
*takes the DVD out and puts it in the case*
*looks at Silente sleeping and smiles*
:):):)
((FOOT CRAMP! D:))
#ChaseForBook9
((No not foot cramp!))
*twitches*
*murmurs uninteligably*
*curls up a little tighter*
*stays asleep*
((I hate that Taia, I got cram in my leg playing water polo last year, hurt like fuck but I kept playing anyway xD they took me out the pool to try and help it but it didn't work and my team needed me so, I hopped around on my other le for the rest of the match :3))
Cramp**
*whispers* Blake, get up so I can put a cover over her.
*Stands up*
So we're gonna have her sleeping on the couch regularly?
*Frowns a little*
derek ohmygosh that poster is the most beautiful thing ever 😍
((Oh. That foot cramp was pretty shortlived. :P
@Silente: Thank you for the sympathy. :)
@Chi: Aw, wow. :( Holy great devotion, though - Good for you. :) ))
#ChaseForBook9
MARAMARAMARA*hugs*
(yes. yes it is.)
#ChaseForBook9
No...well if she falls asleep on it then yeah but...Silente and Mithria will be over a lot, they're like sisters to me. Get used to it. *puts a cover over Silente and grabs his hand and drags him upstairs*
*sighs*
Okay...
*Follows her up the stairs*
((Gtg now guys. Need to sleep IRL :-) love you all! *wonders if its weird to say that* *oh well* night!))
*remained asleep under the cover*
*signs in her sleep and loosens up slightly*
((hey mara
and yeah Taia, I'm a really determined person when I have my mind set on something.))
((goodnight Silente))
*Walks into the main bedroom, dragging him behind her*
Chio you can stop dragging me now
*Looks slightly beat-up from being dragged up the stairs*
You look like you're gonna pass out... *speaks quietly*
*helps him onto the bed*
I'll be fine, I've been dragged across worse than stairs
*chuckles*
Be right back *goes into the bathroom and changed into a tank top and shorts*
Don't want to sleep in my dress *gets into bed beside him*
Yeah, wouldn't want to wrinkle it and all
*Lays his head back*
G'night Chio
OMG ZAMBONI
Goodnight Blake. *snuggles into him and rests her head on his hest and she closes her eyes*
Night, Silente! And, not weird at all - you too. :)
(@Chi: :) )
:)
more msd
#ChaseForBook9
Hm. Late.
*sets down paintbrush*
I think Tom Waits is good as finished, now, so I can sign off.
*waves to anybody who might still be around* Bye! ^^
#ChaseForBook9
If the FIRST cover was awesome, this is....
Whoa.
It is epic. It is amazing. It is beautiful. But I have just one little problem... If that's Ghastly on it, I swear you're just rubbing it in. ;_;
Hi.
I feel like shit.
I can buy real Skulduggery Pleasant merch. I have just died
Hello?
That cover/poster is absolutely stunning! It makes me wonder even more why your Skulduggery books haven't been made into movies yet. I mean, what's wrong with movie makers? Can't they see from your inspiring covers and writing that these would be epic in film? It's obvious to me anyway. I want to see Skul on the big screen ASAP!
Helloooooo...?
Y'hello anyone?
Hi!! Wbd
Hi!! Wbd
Hey! How are you Snow? Still team Alis The Violin I see.
LOVE IS AN OPEN JAW-AW-AW-AW-AW
LOVE IS AN OPEN JAW
Well that's one interpretation of love. And an interesting adaption to 'love is an open door'
XD It's somwthing my friend said by accident at 2 this morning. I was at a sleepover.
I was saying to another friend that I was making a parody called punch him in the jaw, and I turned to my other friend who's a great singer and asked her to sing it. Only, I said "it's the same, except door is jaw". And I didnt realize. So she sung it and I swear no one could breath for 5 whole minutes, we were laughing so hard.
XD
Sounds like you had fun. Your friends lucky! Not many people can sing without people screaming in horror :-)
c:
Punch him in the jaw is a great name for a parody btw. It represents what basically everyone wanted to do to him. Hell I nearly broke my TV by throwing my remote at it...but luckily my aim was off.
XD
It works so well. I'll put it on my blog when it's done.
Looking forward to it! So I'm guessing you've seen frozen then..?
Yeah
Who was your favorite character in it?
Sven. Because I love the name Sven. It is my favorite name of all time.
Sven is a cool name. Its fun to say. Sven. Sven. Sveeeeeeeeen.
SVEN
my subconscious is called Sven
In that case your subconscious has a very cool name. Yes Sven does.
*nods*
*nods back*
Hello?
Hey Mir!
Hi! How're you?
Fine thanks!
You excited about 2am tomorrow?
Bah BBS, food :-)
Alright! I'll wait^^
Yeah, now I'm getting excited... I still haven't finished packing!
Still? You should probably be doing that!
Oh wait soz being dragged outside for 'family time'
*rolls eyes* hopefully I'll BBS. Sorry for deserting you?
Yeah, probably I should be doing that...
Okay... have fun!
My brother has his music on really loud (well, not really loud, just loud enough that I can hear it clearly), WHICH MEANS I CAN'T CONCENTRATE SO I CAN'T READ OR WRITE OR ANYTHINK AND I'VE BEEN DRAWING ALL MORNING AND I'M BORED NOW URGH. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
The first time I met you
Falsetto sighs and the fireflies
On dusty shoes and injured knees,
You turned and walked away
Subtract the bottom,
Add fractions on sleepy afternoons,
Take one and pass them backwards,
You turned and smiled away
(So much noisy static feedback fuzz and tiny angsty Justinnnnn. D: )
*probably not here*
*working*
*kind of*
#ChaseForBook9
Hi, Taia. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Wbd.
Drawing.
Or attempting to do something of the sort. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Star! :)
Good luck with the drawing, Starness. :)
I WANT to be drawing, but, I have a LOT of English revision that built up from procrastination, and I need it, now. :P
wbd, too.
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: D: D:
I hate it when procrastination does that . . . :(
And, thanks. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Wow I slept later then intended
Hey Zaf! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star: Yeah. It sucks. I've almost finished colour-coding my notes with relation to characters, though. :)
Then I think I'll stop, and put together collections for each character later. *nods*
And- :)
Hey Zaf! Good for your sleep, I suppose? :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: Okay. :) Good luck.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hai! And I guess I just never intended to this late
Bbs, need to go get some squash from the shop.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Zaf: *nods*
Well, I intended to get up a lot LATER than I did. :P
Okiedoke, Star. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Have fun Star!
I had so much fun at the hockey game. We were on the ice singing and then there was so many fights between players it was great, but we had every player respectfully watching us. The mascot for the team ended up trying to conduct us afterwards. It was priceleas.
*sighs*
Finally done with packing! Yay!
OH MY GOLDEN GOD! This thing is just torture.
@Zaf: Awesome! Sounds like it was fun. :D
(... I forgot about hockey on ICE. Here, we have hockey on astro-turf more so, I think. :P)
Hey Mith! Hooray! :)
#ChaseForBook9
*hug Taia*
Hey! Yeah... hooray.... :D
Packing? Where you heading off?
A school trip to France, Zaffy :)
Uh okay. I'm back. No more family time. Sooo tired now. Hey then how is everyone?
BACK!
@Zaf: That sounds ace!!! :) Glad it was fun. :)
And - yeah, like Taia, I was thinking hockey-on-astro-turf. XD
Hockey-on-ice tends to just go by 'ice hockey' here. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Welcome back, Silente!
And welcome back, Star!
*hugs Mithria back* C:
Hiya, Tempest! :)
I'm good, thank ye. Doing English Lit work and listening to loud music. :) How're you?
@Star: Welcome back! :)
*nods* Yeah. xP
#ChaseForBook9
Hi, Mith! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey mir hey star!
@mir you done packing now then?
*realises she's still in chi's house*
*gets up off her couch*
*smiles and folds up the cover*
*puts the cover on the arm if the couch*
I'm fine thanks Taia. Little sleepy due to fresh air and pushing my family on the ridicoulisly big swing.
@Tempest: *laughs* :P / :)
*hums*
*SHOULD be distant*
#ChaseForBook9
I HAVE NOT BEEN IN BLOGLAND IN FOREVER.
And it sickens me to the core of my being.
Hey Annika!
*puts the vodka and apple and coke away*
*puts the spoons and shot glasses in the dishwasher*
*puts the empty ice cream tubs in the bin*
*walks out*
*pets her nightmare*
I am cleaning the gerbil cage
. . .
*examines Silente's dishes*
It seems I've missed a party.
K then zaf! Make ze gerbils happy!
Hey Annika! Nice to see you. :)
@Zaf: Okie. :3
(one page of notes lefffftttttt. C: )
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Annika! :)
Not a party...just a meeting. The party sometime this weekend I think..
((Chi's stuff not mine))
*jumps up onto Onzwa*
Hello again boy.
*clucks gently in his ear*
*smiles as he starts rustling his wings*
Hullo Silente, Taia, Mithria, Zafira, and anyone else whom I may have missed!
Hi Annika, Silente! :)
Sorry, distant. D:
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Star the distant!
*strolling down the street*
Do you like my profile picture?
Your pic is cute, Anni!
Why thank you. I think it's appropriate for my new position in Blogland, since I role-play as myself just as often as I play as Precocious, Oscar, and the like.
Yeah, Annika. :)
That you? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Your pictures awesome Annika!
*laughs as Onzwa rises into the air*
*swoops low next to annika*
Hey girl.
@Annika: *nods* It's sweet. :)
(sorry - also distantish)
#ChaseForBook9
Hai there Anni
Almost done just gotta pick cage up
It is indeed me, if I were adorable and chibi.
*frowns at the swooping thing*
*is it a bird?*
. . . Hullo.
@Annika: :) I like your expression. :)
Its a night made with wings. Feathery shadow wings. ((Shadow undead horse))
*lands and trots next to Annika*
What cha doin?
I like to think it's "perplexed," which is how I am most of the time.
Anyhow, the main thing I wanted to explain in pointing out my picture is what I am carrying.
*peers at the shadowy undead horse*
*looks over glasses at it*
At the moment, having a civil conversation.
*holds up half-eaten cruller*
And eating a cruller.
@Taia; O_O
Is that a suitcase, Annika?
#ChaseForBookNine
I was looking up a band my friend likes and then this advert came on of this other band and now I'm looking them up like AHAHAHA DISTRACTIONS. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh okay then...
*pulls some skittles from her pocket*
*opens them and eats some*
*absently pats Onzwa's neck*
I had a chat with Trip, about what I most wanted to do in Blogland. The thing I would really love to do the most. After all, is that not what Blogland is for?
So . . . with your blessings, of course . . .
*the ground rumbles behind me*
*and wooden beams begin to sprout*
*fleshing out into walls and windows*
*and tapering into a shingled roof*
*a sign flips down outside the door*
I would very much love to run the Midnight Hotel.
If I may.
*bows*
*looks up at the hotel*
Wow..
*looks at Annika*
Wow.
*nods*
Wow. Its actually real. Wow.
(Gah... sorry for being distant!)
(*glares at computer*
I did NOT finish my comment, nor did I hit the 'post comment button. :P)
(actually, it would've made sense to NOt delete the comment, anyhow. Now I have to type it out again. *facepalms* I need to learn to THINK first. :P)
You're the echoes of my everything,
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night,
You're the laziness of afternoon,
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom,
You're the leaky sink of sentiment,
You're the failed attempts I never could forget,
You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love.
...How will I break the news to you?
(The leaky sink of sentiment, though. :) )
@Annika: I think perplexed fits rather well. :)
@Annika: XD
#ChaseForBook9
I don't see a problem other then Ari hasn't read LSODM so it'd be evil to tell her why
@Star: :P
@Annika: Wow. Yeah. Wow. You have my blessing, all the way. :)
(no problem, Mith. *hugs* :))
#ChaseForBook9
@Annika: DO SO. :) :) :)
I imagine Hunter would love to live in the Midnight Hotel, if he didn't already have a teleporting house. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*straightens up*
Thank you.
*nods proudly at the hotel*
I think I'll be very happy here.
Hunter has a teleporting house?? How cool is that!
I think you'll be happy there too.
*eats her skittles*
*stares at the hotel*
*smiles and nods*
Any one home at the moment then?
Congrats
@Mithria: I KNOW. XD XD XD XD
I love his house. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*enters the hotel*
*looks around proudly*
*walks behind the desk*
*sets out a golden plaque*
*wonders what name it should read*
*frowns*
*puts the plaque away*
*leaves the hotel*
I'll leave it here, for now.
(*hasn't read LSODM, either*
*or KOTW*)
@Star: Hunter glows, levitates, AND has a teleporting house?!
That guy has it ALL. :P
(except maybe sparkles)
@Anni: C:
#ChaseForBook9
*looks back at the hotel*
A few. Precocious, of course. And the Remnants.
@Annika: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
@Taia: :) Yeah. C:
If he had sparkles, though, they wouldn't be as desirable. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
The nice thing, about Blogland . . .
*reclines in a swivel chair behind the check-in desk*
. . . is that here, I can be the manageress of a fabulous traveling hotel, rather than a geek who's bed-ridden with a head cold.
@Annika: Yup. :)
Hope your cold gets better soon . . .
Okay
I can be Hunter if anyone wants to speak to him
but I'll be distant
very distant.
#ChaseForBookNine
..and also, you know, the company in Blog land.
*shudders at the thought of the remnants*
Ew.. little horrors.
*jumps off Onzwa and wanders in*
Its very pretty in here..
Talking to Hunter is fun, Star. But you don't have to if you don't have the time!
*raises a hand*
I have a question.
It's likely a very dumb, foolish, idiotic, etc, question,
however,
I have always wondered this.
What in God's name are those things in your profile picture, Star? Are they rock spires? It it a castle, or a rock formation? What is it?
*is
--This is a test. My computer is glitching. Can I still comment?--
@Annika: *laughs* XD
I don't actually have a clue.
Once, Adra sent me a few images she thought I might like to set as my profile picture, and this was one of them. She got it from a YouTube video that had this picture in the background.
So, yeah. :P
I've always thought they were rocks, personally . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Alright. Good.
--You can.--
#ChaseForBookNine
Yeah.
I can be Hunter.
BUT PREPARE FOR DISTANCE AND MSD-NESS.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star, I have a question about Hunter. What is this with his eyes changing their colour?
And it's ok^^
I've gotta go do stuff.
*hugs ever'one*
Y'all rule. :)
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
--So I've noticed.--
*holds dynamite*
Bye Taia! :(
TAIAAAAAAA!
*falls to my knees*
*it begins to rain*
*all the lights on the street begin to go out*
*I'm sobbing*
T-Taia . . . don't go . . .
*I clutch my face in my hands*
Don't leave me . . . all alone . . .
*the wolves begin to circle*
Bye Taia!
((Hunters eyes change due to emotion))
((I think))
((But he can also control them))
Wolves?
*jumps back onto Onzwa*
*is getting soaked*
*stupid rain*
Anni. You okay?
((Star: Fours, Taia! :(
@Mithria: Yes, what Silente said. :) It's like expressions. They happen automatically, but you can also control it.))
Hello.
#ChaseForBookNine
*trembling all over*
She . . . she . . .
She was the echoes of my everything!
*wails*
*rose petals swirl around me*
TAIA, DON'T GO!
Hi Hunter! :)
And I think I gotta go soon... because of France.
((Lol star))
Hello hunter!
Annika its okay. She'll be back.
*smiles at her*
Onzwa:*tries to catch the petals in his mouth*
Don't worry, Annika.
You'll get over it.
Echoes aren't really anything more than reverberating sound. They're not necessary to life. And everything is a bit overrated, as well.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Okay, Mith.))
#ChaseForBookNine
*bows head*
*sniffling*
T-Taia . . . Taia . . .
*leaps to feet*
I'm over it!
*laughs*
*sits in swivel chair*
*pushes off wall and shoots off across the world*
No it's not! I don't want to leave!
Hello Hunter. *watches everyone moving, wishing I could move*
*the swivel chair skids to a halt*
Oh.
OH.
I see how it is, comment thread, I see how it is.
Zaf! I have an idea! You have a wheel chair right? Well why don't you make a clone to push it? That might work...
