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.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 4949 Newer› Newest»(@Star: Yeah, that's true. But for me, idk, it kills in a good way. It's like, it's sad, but you got there, y'know? idk. *hugs* See you. :))
Hello, Chloe! :)
How're you doing?
Did you do your Welsh exam this last week? Did it go alright? :)
#ChaseForBook9
Silente, thank you so much for that...you really didn't have to. *hugs her tightly*
*sits down after pulling up a seat for her too*
((That's only if Silente's still around...))
Hiya Taia
im great thnx,went to see captain America :) How about u?
I did do it and it was easy. I learnt everything then in the prep time the teacher basically told us what to say and me and my partner wrote it all down, so we could copy it
@Chloe: Awesome! :)
I'm grand, thanks. Just sort of, idk, existing. :P / :)
Great! Sounds pretty cool, then. :)
#ChaseForBook9
Aaaand I've gotta go again.
*offers cookies to everybody* :)
Bye, all!
*waves*
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Taia!
Lol, Dan's vids r sooo relatable
Byii Taia
*cuddles dynamite*
((Soz poofed))
T-thats fine Chi. Its just common courtesy.
*smiles*
Anyway I should..er...go check on Onzwa? Yeah I'll go do that,
*turns to go*
*sits quietly, realizing how alone I actually am*
Your not alone zaf!
Ur not alone!
Not in that sense....*shrugs and goes into the treehouse*
Javier: She's just a bit upset. She's remembering the summer....let her be. Alastair made her feel alone when she was captive. Nobody could hear her.
Oh okay Javier. I hope she's okay..
And I will be buying this poster! x
Javier: She will be. It happens. Remember, Niccolò blocked the memories of captivity from Alexis, but Zaf he never did. She's an adult and had worse done to her. Alexis was 11, so Nic did what he could. I think that's why he's always been the nicest to Alexis. I think he's trying to make up for what his name did to her even though she has no memory.
That wold make sense..
Javier: It does, because it's exactly what Nic would do. I mean he's a kind soul. He never intended to be like this...*laughs* Zaf never had a thing against him. She has a crush on him.
Ive gotta go, byii
Bye Chloe
Bye Chloe!
She had a crush on him?! Awww! That's so cute!
*eats the toast that Silente made her and smiles up at Blake*
*leaves the kitchen*
*calls back* I tidied the living room as well by the way!
*goes and pets Onzwa*
Javier: *laughs* Try telling him. But actually one of his names fell for her. John Smith. He's the one who can turn you to stone. Though he did it to help Elementals who were stone. John and Zaf likes each other and probably would be together if John could. I never stop them because I know it makes him happy seeing her, and the hell he goes through every day, seeing Zaf for an hour is barely enough to give. I've seen what it's like...screaming and the names often make the others see things. They don't know real from fake.
*Sits down and noms his toast*
*Calls back to Silente* You really didn't have to
That sound horrid Javier!
*calls back* you let me sleep on your couch! It was the least I could do!
*comes back down* I heard the name John Smith...he is around? *looks hopeful*
Javier: No. If he was I would have sent him up to you.
I haven't seem him since a day or so before my birthday. *smiles* I hope I can see him...
Well, we didn't really let you, you just fell asleep and we left you there... *finishes her toast*
Yes but you didn't wake me up or kick me out. Hell you put a cover over me like I was the child I appear to be. So in return I cleaned your house and made you food. Simples.
Olivia: *chases a kitty* Meow!!! *picks up kitty* Smokey no running off. *takes back to the treehouse*
Christopher: *lays under a tree playing with matchbox cars*
Not like we could kick you out while you were sleeping, I'd have to actually kick you and that'd just be rude
Really? Seems like the type of thing you'd do Blake.
*grins*
*frown and looks serious*
Now finish your toast mister I put a lot of effort into that.
*laughs* Thank you anyway, Silente.
*drinks her juice*
*looks around* Where is everyone?
Well I'm here. As is Chi and Blake. Not sure bout other people :-)
*shrugs*
Your welcome Chi. Though I should probably change...
*looks down at herself*
Hmm..
(I'm looking for the location of everyone is Zaf hasn't seen any of you guys)
((Oh okay))
((Mine and Blake's new house, the outside of the forest, across from the volcano and lake))
((I'm outside with Onzwa))
*goes towards Chi's house* Oh hi Silente!
Oh hey zaf! Your moving again! That's good. What gives, when did that happen?
Well I think it was Nic...he did something to counteract the poison
*Nomz down the rest of his breakfast*
So what should we do today?
Well that's good zaf! Happy to see you moving around again.
Dunno Blake, what are we gonna doooooo?
I'll be happy to do anything! *shadows swirl around me in a protective way*
Are those shadows a hint zaf?
*moves quick and dodges the shadows punching her playfully on the arm*
*smirks* Nah. They're a hint for Alastair *grabs Silente and punches back
That's if he's not gone for a bit!
*grins and punches he back again*
Now now girls not in the house
*Grabs them both and sinks into their shadow, rising outside and throwing them to the ground*
*slams her head down on the table, avoiding the plate and glass and sighs*
*Notices the sound then walks back to the door and pokes his head in*
You okay?
Chi?
*runs back in*
What happened?
*goes to her side*
Woah you do not boss me around
*a hotel melts up from the dirt*
*and a sign flips down*
*THE MIDNIGHT HOTEL*
*I step out*
*stretch*
*and yawn*
I am here.
I do not know for how long. I do not know who I will meet, or what I will do, or when I will log off.
But I am here.
And that is enough.
Doesnt it move every 12 hours?
It moves when I damn well want it to move. After all, that old grandfather clock that runs this beauty isn't exactly working anymore, if you'll recall.
*knocks on the wall*
I can make it pop up anywhen, anywhere.
You guys are fighting again and a facepalm wasn't good enough so...facetable.
I apologize, Chione.
*frowns*
Hey I haven't been near it
SPOILER WARNING
When should I mention what Ravel did? Like honestly
I have been told,
by other Bloglanders,
that we are past the spoiler zone, and the most recent book is fair game.
But it hardly matters to me.
*spit-shines the door handle of my new hotel*
I have my hotel, and that is all I need.
We agreed that January was the time it became blog-canon.
Yes.
That Bloglander.
That Bloglander right there.
*bows*
How-do-you-do?
*goes through to the living room and decides to start watching Fairy Tail again*
So I can have him in pain?
*perks up*
*whispers* Fairy Tail?
Hello, people who arrived!
*waves*
*remembers I haven't actually appeared yet*
Oh.
*appears*
HELLO, people! :)
@Annika: I think it's fairy nuff. :) :) You run it, then. :) I think you'll do an ace job. It suits you. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
I-do-fine-thank-you.
And you?
I-do-very-well-thank-you-please. Apart from a head cold, and an overall sense of disillusionment with the universe.
Dissillusionment is the best.
I tend to prefer perplexedness.
Yes Annika, Fairy Tail. *fangirls and cuddles up on the couch*
Perplexed is a cool word. :)
Fairies have tails? O_O
#ChaseForBookNine
*climbs through Chione's second-story window*
*sits beside her on the couch*
*with a big, delicious pretzel*
I happen to be quite the otaku, Chione, and Fairy Tail is one of my favorites.
YAY! Fairy Tail is one of my favourites too ^.^ Did you know the new episodes started today? I've already watched the first one of season 2. Amazing. I read the manga too.
*Rises up out of Annika's shadow*
And you happen to be sitting very close to my woman.
*hugs Annika tightly*
B-blake? *blushes*
*looks lazily at Blake*
Yes, but I am secure enough in my sexuality to sit next to a girl. Trust me, girls are not my thing.
No offense, Chione.
Um...none taken? *continues watching Fairy Tail*
Damn the fake Salamander! Boo!
Pays to be careful.
*Sits next to Chio, wrapping an arm around her*
Watching Fairy Tail?
*looks up at him* Mhmm! *nods viciously*
I do enjoy Fairy Tail. Not my favorite anime, to be sure, but a good one.
Have you seen the new episode yet, Annika?
*shakes head*
Alexis: *sits with Aro*
Aro: swim?
Alexis: I can if I want
Aro: go
*wanders in*
*sees they're watching something*
*wanders out*
I apologize, I may be distant. I'm watching Markiplier play Goat Simulator and I haven't laughed this hard since January.
*was standing 'out'*
I see you don't like anime.
I'm glad that you're happy Annika.
Oh yes, goat simulator was a stroke of genius.
Yes, Goat Simulator is a beautiful thing.
I don't mind anime. I mea I've seen some of bleach before and I quite liked it although I dont remember much of it. I'm just kinda bored and...cbrehbefvhefcbejcbefkbef ya know?
Sure, I kinda do. Although I tend to blow up rabbit warrens when I'm bored.
That's mean! I think my bored stems from the peace. For some reason I can't stand peace. And the lack of Alastair and violence is sending me loopy..kinda weird that isn't it? That I get bored without conflict. Probably not good...
Hunter gets terribly bored. That's partially what makes him reckless, although that also comes down to him just not really thinking about consequences very much.
It has been nice roleplaying as him, but it does mean you people will have to deal with my obsession for a few days. I generally have some obsession or other, though, so I guess you'll manage. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, it sometimes feels a waste to just... let all of that power go to waste. And I can't be evil around Cara... So sometimes I feel a little restless.
Damn does power corrupt.
*returns to Blogland*
In all my years, all I've wanted was to have a successful life. But the more I live, I realize I don't need a successful life. I just want an interesting one. I want it to be full of interesting people and interesting places and interesting stories to tell my children.
I like to think I'm interesting.
*reclines on the sofa*
I hope I am.
(SeaNanners is in my favor over Markiplier, I have to say.
*nods*
Prop Hunt amen)
Oh good so its not just me who gets uncomfortable when in peace. Well that gets rid of one layer of crazy. Its so weird though. Like I dread the idea of others getting hurt on here but if something doesn't happen...okay the best way to describe how it feels for me is that my bones start aching and stuff. Which sounds weird. Really weird. Mind you IM weird so it only makes sense that stuff I say sounds weird.
Msd tablet dying and the chargers real dodgy.
First of all, hullo Adra! I've missed you. Secondly, my favorites are Tobuscus, Markiplier, and Venturion.
Wait is armagedon the next book out please tell me i wanna see more of darquese
Libertas est tenebrarum
You ever hear stories of ex-military people getting into mortal danger because they miss the rush?
(Oh, I'm not here. I just caught your comment...
I'm Nanners, Gassy, and Sham. Tobuscus too. Chilled... Etc.)
You SEE, because Hunter doesn't have to be held down by morals and things - you know, because he doesn't have to care about any of that, because 'caring' isn't really the angel he takes in life (sorry, just exploring a thought here in the middle of my sentence), he can just go out and kill a load of people or whatever when he gets bored. :P
He doesn't generally do that, though.
He generally does things more interesting than that. Just randomly killing people is a bit . . . simple, don't you think?
#ChaseForBookNine
No trip I haven't.
*angle
#ChaseForBookNine
Well, yeah.
Farewell.
*disappears into the Midnight Hotel*
I may be back later.
Perhaps.
Cya Anni
Bayyyyyy.
Well, do you hunt Silente?
Fours, Anni! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Neither do I.
I hunt a bit...back when I was little I hunted
Sup.
I have returned!
How are ye both?
Myeh.
An interesting way to describe one's feelings, I think I may begin using it myself.
Any ideas on how to start a conversation?
HI EVERYONE :
I have a conversation starter:
What real-life weaponry experience do you have? I know how to use a knife, a gun, and a bow.
I'm myeher.
Let's see... Nunchuku, Boa staff (a long, well balanced stuck), A short staff (A stick), bows, knives, mild sword training and my body.
You all make me laugh.
I can use a laptop.
Oh, and improvised weaponry. Mmmmmmmmm... Improvised.
Also, nice to meet you Dimtri.
*Swoops in and tackles Flame*
*not here*
I'm about to buy my first fencing sabre!
I know how to use that!
Dynamite
*gobbles Adra up*
Yo
@Zafira
._.
Oh and I know a lot about nerve strikes.
*Goes in and hugs Sparx as well*
*Swoops up, up and awayyy*
(I love you two <3 :D PM me sometime)
For example,
-I run to Trip, sliding between his legs, sending a strike into his inner thigh, staggering him-
(I'm so subtle :> )
Cool, I'm more a dodge and kick them in the back kind of person.
Or you know *plants his foot on Dimitri's chest and pins him down, and proceeds to jump onto his chest*
That sort of gubbins.
Woah lets not kill each other now
I'm not killing, just maiming.
-I cough, rearranging my ribcage-
-I get up, darkness moving behind me, bringing me another metre away from Trip-
Probably maiming.
Possibly killing.
Oh continue re-arranging his rib cage, Trip.
Alexis: Mom you just got mobility don't loose it
Oh, using magic now are we?
-I reach my hands across my stomach and into my jacket, pulling out two pistols, shadows curling around them-
-I smile, flourishes of darkness sweeping around me, almost hissing at Trip-
*I point my fingers, in that sort of gun like shape made by putting the thumbs and forefingers at right angles, at Dimitri*
If we were applying the laws of the west, I get to shoot first.
Oh no wait, you do.
Crap.
-I shoot several times, the bullets of darkness exploding on impact, as I flip back-
I don't follow anyone's rules, Castalan.
*energy coats my hands as I try my best to deflect the shots until the last hits it's mark. I fly back and hiss in pain*
*looks up, expecting a follow up*
-I laugh, in a pitiful way-
How cute.
What, never seen a trap before?
Aren't you inquisitive enough to spring it?
*Watches, holding Cara*
So...
No, it's just;
When I'm on a job, I enter and leave, and the target is gone. No one knows I'm there.
And I usually know when there's a trap.
And I don't see someone like you, with such poor intellectual ability, as the type to set a worthy trap.
How dare you. I'll have you know I've revolutionised crime fighting. So you can take it or leave it, but you'll be missing out.
Revolutionised it?
I don't think so.
This isn't a pretty world, Castalan, it's a pretty fucked up one.
Oh she's here. *watches the two slightly concerned* Lets not toally maul one another
Honestly? For fuck's sake
And I didn't know this? Please stop trying to impress me by being obvious and get to a clear point.
We're not Zaf, I'm just lying here, and he's just standing there. It's only petty trash talk.
I'm not trying to prove a point here. It's just another job.
-I send a flurry of sharp shadows towards him, pulling out my pistols again-
*I splay my hand and a shield of energy forms ahead of me, catching the shadows, I then dissipate this, clench my fists at Dimitri and fire a volley of lasers*
A job, so who hired you?
-I shoot several times, the shadows finding their way into the lasers, disintegrating them-
That's none of your business.
*draws a sword of cyanish crustal and purple energy flows into it, while the left hand continues to fire lasers*
Someone hired you to kill me, that's ver much my business.
Whatever business you deal in, it's not an important conflict.
(Brb)
Everything is important in my business.
(Ok back)
-I laugh-
Sure.
Still, I'd very much like to know who wants me dead now.*begins to advance*
I'd rather not. -I wave my hands below me, darkness propping me up into a tree-
Even I can climb a tree. And I'm impaired in physical training, damn Dimitri.
*I run to the foot of the tree, deflecting attacks with a shield, and slice through the trunk in one slash from the sword*
-I jump as it falls, landing-
I'd rather not.
*I fling my left arm out and let a stream of energy fly*
-I dodge the stream-
Really?
PUNCH HIM IN THE JAW-AW-AW-AW-AW
*sighs* This'll be a long night
Ooh! Perfect timing, for once
Hi Snowy
I'm not even trying.
Hey Snow!
Then try.
I just want information. You seem like a perfectly reasonable young man, just tell me who employed you and you can go. I assure you they won't be a problem.
I assure you they will. And you're not getting any information out of me. I'm more lenient than you think.
Fine. *my eyes gloss over and Dimitri's very being starts to suffer total agony*
Seriously? *stalks up* Tell him. Before I use other means for Trip. I think you know who I am, you know who I know. You really want to annoy me? Just tell Trip what he needs and we all can have a nice day.
-I get down on my knees, struggling-
Well I'll have you know, Zafira, I'm an Australian citizen as you are.
You're not getting anything out of me.
I see you're an Australian. Your accent says it all. But that does not mean you can't cooperate with two foriegn mages. I'd suggest you co-operate.
:)
Brb guys i'll ded then
I... must commmmmend you... on your... resistance ... to pain…
-I focus on the link Trip is using, searching through his memories-
Trip, who is (someone from your past that meant a lot to you)
*Flicks Dimitri*
Hi adra.
