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.

(From my past? No one really. I lost my memory about 128 years ago, so anyone who means anything to me is alive and easily contactable.)
So what if he resists pain? Who says we all can't if we try?
Yes... but resissting… your… very soul being in agony… without even a scream is very impressive…
MSD.
Herrow?
I was waiting but it seems people poofed
Mr. Grimm?
(SO SORRY I HAD TO GET MY DRONE OUT OF A TREE YAY ME WOO)
I'm quite an impressive being, Trip.
But who says I'm all human?
Oh… that's cool… twist. I… like… it…
Although, your… soul… looks very… human.
What are you Dimitri?
(Woah wait...drone?! Can...you...explain?)
I'm a descendant of the very first Necromancers to ever touch the soil of this Earth, Trip.
*his eyes refocus*
You mean Greg? You're Greg's boy?
So you're a Necromancer like me? Interesting
I have no idea who this Greg is, Castalan.
*lays head in hands and just sits there* No...no...*grits teeth*
Greg, he invented modern Necromancy. He's gone by many names, of course. He's currently called Greg and works part time as a builder. He's such a nice guy, I can even forgive the fact that his work brought about the downfall of my people. He speaks ever so fondly of you you know.
-I stand up, quickly reversing the effects of your glare-
You're not getting anything out of me.
If I can't kill you, someone else will.
(It wasn't a glare, and I stopped doing it anyway)
I'm sure one day they will, but not today.
*tilts head* who?
Whoever this Greg is, he's not my father.
(I have a plot twist coming up, guys.. you can tell me if I "can't do that" or whatever.)
My father is a great man.
If he's so 'great' then by all means tell us who he is.
Was he by any chance Mevolent?
Mevolent? Not a chance.
-I smile-
Fletcher Renn. And my mother is Valkyrie Cain.
-I smile again, oblivious-
Have you heard of them?
Valkyrie....but....how....*looks stunned* How?! She fought in the Sanctuary War!!! When did...*breathes* You've got Ancient blood...
Uh, well, I come from future times.
Future...but Val is Darquesse....
Yeah well, my mother told me all about that.
She told me that someone called Tanith helped her.
...
Um?
So everyone's just going to leave, fantastic.
Seriously? Tanith?!
(Sorry was having fun with Nair
-I look to Trip and back to you-
Uh, yes.. I don't know who she is.
You don't want to know her....so you're their kid? That's creepy.
Why wouldn't I want to know Tanith?
She's not a normal person. She's controlled by a Remenant.
Oh, but my mother said she got that taken out.
That's impossible! It's never been done...*looks confused*
I don't know, she didn't give me too many details.
Lovely. *sighs* Alastair is probably out...you're from the future...what else?
That's about it. Other than the stuff you don't need to know.
Really? Dare tell me more.
Why? Because you have nothing, how d we know you're hers? Can you touch the black crystal on the Sceptre?
The Scepter was broken Zaf, black crystals are just good for throwing at people now
Also is anyone still here?
Welp that's a no
What to do, what to do...
I know!
I'll leave.
Crap sorry Blake
I'm not lying, Valkyrie Cain is my mother.
The things you do not need to know is about who I work for and what my job is.
Mmm so do tell. Or does Aro have to tell me?
Well, I'm not telling you, and I don't know who Aro is.
(Brb)
My son, most powerful Sense-Warden ever. Do you want him picking through your head?
(Zaffy shall wait
Zaffy sleep
No zaffy no
He may pick around my head all he likes, he won't find the information you want.
(IS ANYONE ON ;-;)
*appears*
I'll pass...
JK
HI SNOW
HI SORRY I POOFED HI IF YOUR STILL HERE
Love is an open jaw?
XD
I really don't like Hans, not because he's evil but because he is SO CLICHE!!!!! "Oh, Anna, I already have." ?!?!?
Come ON, Disney, that is so overdone!
(sorry, I needed to get that out of the way)
I just saw the blurb/summary for Book 9 on the Skul-man website. That last line... *whimpers* No...
NO DEREK YOU EVIL HEART BREAKING MINION KILLING MONSTER!!! NOO!! DONT YOU DARE

((Just on the SP website. In news. ))
Hi Chione.
;_; Hello...
I forgot, did I hate you, or did I fight by your side?
(-0-)
Well, I'm not sure, you fought by my side when Rhydian and that girl were fighting and arguing and the thing with the Amulet of Winter, but I also tried to stop you fighting with Silente because I didn't want you hurt then you started fighting Dragona. Make up your mind.
*wakes up and realises she passed out, head laying on the kitchen table and rubs her eyes*
*surprise hugs* haha, got you now! :)
Hey hey, how are you guys doing? Revising for exams? Excited for the reveal of the last book's title? Guessing who dies in the cloaking sphere scene?
- Tia Halcyon the Warrior Chronomancer
*gets up and cracks her back because of her awkward sitting position*
Ow...
*wanders through to the living room and sits on the couch, reading a book and drinking a glass of orange juice*
((Hai Tia, I had bloody forgot about the cloaking sphere scene and I'm sitting here studying for exams >.> and yes I am excited but everyone will die except Skulduggery *sigh*))
((Cloaking sphere scene...?))
G2g, bye
There are more aura wallpaper thingies.

*waves wildly*
http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/21533650696/help-the-girl-i-like-wont-respond-to-my-emails
Thank you, Snow. XD And poor Denko!
Hello, Silente!
*time slows down* *hair flutters behind me as I run towards Silente in slow motion, arms outstretched*
*stops running* *waves* Hi. :)
Sorry, I have to go. Food. :(
Nooo don't go!
((Soz bout poof started reading the link))
Hi, Silente.
Please ;-;
*Hops up from the shadow of a dynamite tree*
Hello everyone
-I stand up straighter, laughing-
Ah, Blake. It's you.
It would appear so, did I miss a joke or something?
*looks rather confused*
No, no.
It's nothing.
-I walk over to the small apple tree, kicking the stump, one falling directly into my hand-
-I look back at you-
You want one?
*Whispers from behind Blake* It's probably poisoned
I'm fine thanks, is anyone else around or did they all go poof?
*looks up from her book and mumbles* It's so quiet In Blogland this morning... *sighs and goes back to reading, sitting in her feet curled up on the couch*
-A small smirk curls the ends of my lips-
Adrasdos is.
-I take a bite of the apple, it's insides turning black as I begin to slowly walk over to Blake-
Thank you for that Arda, I'll take your opinion into account
*turns away from her*
Not really...
-I grab a nearby stump, place it about a metre away from Blake, and sit-
Hey Chio
*sits next to Chio and hugs her*
Whatchya reading?
I wouldn't either Blake.
It's like you all WANT to die.
-I turn to Zafira, throwing the black apple to her feet-
Good sleep?
eh, every now and then I recall the feeling of peacefully floating away from my body and wonder if it's like that every time Arda. So Dimitri now that you're sitting right in my face what can I do for you?
*face palms after reading that tumblr thread*
That guy is just...ugh.
*shakes her head*
I'm back guys!
*punches Dimitri in the arm*
Sorry for poofing
Just stuff *closes the book and puts it next to her and hugs him* How are you, my darling? You know, I woke up at the kitchen table...I must have fell asleep there yesterday morning...I don't remember a thing.
First off- Adra. It's Adra. A D R A.
Second, yes it is, until you get to Hell.
-I look at Blake, standing up, patting him on the back, as I focus my attention on Zafira-
Ello Silente
Hello Blake.
(Sorry Adra, in a awkward typing position right now)
You did hit your head pretty hard Chio... do you feel alright?
How is everyone?
Oh Chi yeah you hit your head on the table remember because a face palm wasn't good enough.
Ah yes, because you lot were fighting in the house. I remember.
-I let a shadow out from under my coat, letting it seek another apple, bringing it to me-
Apart from being tired I'm great Silente, how're you?
No no, Silente and Zaf were fighting in the house, I brought them outside then came back in
Not really sure Blake. Physically I'm fine but I have literally no idea how I'm feeling. Its kinda eerie... oh well.
*picks an apple for herself*
*sits on a tree stump*
*Onzwa lays down next to me*
*smiles*
Mhmmm *kisses his cheek and finishes her Orange Juice*
Oh sugar, I forgot about the party, I need to get things ready.
*Looks over them, shrugs, and leaves*
I'll be back soon, I'm going to the shops to get party food and decorations and things. *grabs her bag and goes*
Adrasdos, stay.
*takes a bite out of the juicy apple*
She could just ask me. It'd be much quicker.
*shrugs and looks at Dimitri and Blake*
Anyone up for a spa? Not relax spa like fun spa.
We weren't fighting agressively! Just playfully
Hey zaf!
-I look at Silente's apple, and it starts to decompose and turn black-
*looks at her now rotten apple*
Charming Dimitri. Clearly you got your mothers manners.
*throws the apple away*
*sighs*
If you insist Silente
*Shadows swirl around me, occasionally taking the form of a screaming face of a damned soul*
Hai there. *watches quietly*
Msd for a bit
Yey Blake's playing!
*bounces up and claps her hands*
*grins and slowly approaches Blake*
*looks around the shop and picks up balloons and streamers and sheet then goes to the food and gets lots of crisps, a chocolate fountain, fruit, marshmallows, more alcohol and soft drinks* *remembers Silente*
Ice-cream...
*picks up more ice-cream too then goes to the check-out*
-I stand up, looking at Blake's performance-
That's cute.
Coming from you Dimitri? You were brought to your knees by Zaf and Trip, both of which I've defeated. You want cute necromancy look in the mirror
*I turn back to Silente*
You may have the first move
I'm sorry?
I specified what you were doing was a performance.
As was what I was doing.
And you think your necromancy is superior?
Now, now, Blake.
That, is just.. pure cuteness.
*raises one brow*
If you insist
*grabs one of her blades*
*runs straight at Blake as a blur*
*slides beneath him*
*comes up and slashes his back all the way up his spine*
*jumps over him spinning in the air*
*lands in front of him grinning*
*Chuckles*
If only you knew...
Anyways I have a small girl to beat up, so I'll get back to you on that
Hm, I'm sorry, Blake.
Are you the son of Valkyrie Cain?
No, I don't think so.
*waddles home with lots of shopping bags and drops them all in the kitchen, exhausted*
*The wound, instead of pouring blood, pours darkness which immediately begin to fall back into place*
*My voice speaks from behind Silente*
You didn't think I'd start a fight staring someone physically superior in the eyes did you?
*Solid darkness grabs Silente's neck, lifting her into the air and depriving her of oxygen*
-darkness flows below me, lifting me up-
-I pull out my silverballer pistols, shadows curling around them yet again, as I fire multiple shadows into Blake-
Your heritage means nothing Dimitri, I don't care if you were the son of Cain and Melevolent (if that were to ever happen, which it won't) it doesn't make you more powerful. Your individual skill is what sets you apart, not your parents
*My eyes turn black and the shadows stop dead a few inches from me*
This is not your fight. Sit back down like a good boy.
Exactly. Its skill not blood. I am a Grand Mage but it doesnt make me stronger in battle. My son is Ravel's, because he's a Dead Man's son that doesnt make him stronger.
(It's Valkyrie and Fletcher that are my parents)
Millennia in the making right here, Soul.
Endless centuries of training.
You have no idea, no, fucking idea what I can do.
(I sound like a douchebag right now don't i lol.. I'm not a douchebag irl, its just my character)
*She rolls her eyes* You all are so arrogant. You say you wish to fight, which you do, but you're never hurt.
It's a bit of a problem, really. It gets boring sometimes, being invincible. You all will see soon enough.
I can take sides if I want to, Blakey.
-I let the shadows lift me higher, as I strike down on Blake, kicking him in the jaw-
(I know it was Fletcher I'm just saying Val and Malevolent cause he was a whole lot stronger than Fletch, it was an example)
(I notice that as well, Adra, but I also notice that someone does give in. And yes I know I enjoy being a god mod but I'll try my best to tone that down for you.)
How am I the only one who actually was injured last Sunday? I hate to say it but Adra has a point, even Nic reacts to wounds. I got cut and reacted to the poison now i must go
((Pretend I didn't momentarily poof))
*pushes up on the shadows giving herself room to breath*
*applies pressure to them until they snap*
*drops to the ground and turns again to Blake*
Tut tut Blake. Little girl? Moi? No.
*runs again flipping over his head and cutting along his scalp*
*lands behind him and sweeps his legs from below him*
*towers over him slightly*
*stumbles back from the force of the kick*
No actually, you can't. Nobody invited you to this so sit your arrogant rear down while you still have control of it
Aw, cute.
Go ahead.
Fucking "control" me.
If you insist.
*I shed my hoodie, the darkness drops to be replaced by a pale green aura. I point a finger towards Dimitri and his whole body goes rigid, I do the same with my other hand to Silente*
-a faint smile finds it's way onto my lips, and I disappear right before your eyes-
*grunts at her ridgid set*
Stupid...soul....magic...
*sweat break out on her forehead as she tries, futily to move*
Son of Fletcher Renn.
oh please Dimitri I can feel your soul right there
*points to him once more, grabbing hold of his soul and tossing him to the ground*
-I teleport away, again-
*begins to put up the fairy lights around the mirror and fireplace*
*puts blue, silver and white balloons in the corners of the room*
*moves the couch and chairs right to the walls so there is a massive space in the middle of the room*
*moves the table to the center and sets up the chocolate fountain and the fruit and marshmallows in little bowls around it*
*still straining her muscles*
GOD DAMN IT STUPID VAMPIRICNESS!
*glares at the sky*
-shadows creep out of my back, forming ethereal black wings, as I swoop downwards, picking up Silente, teleporting away-
How many times do I have to tell you...
*Stops him mid-teleport*
That's not going to work
*I let the hand holding Silente drop*
One moment Silente, this guy is being as annoying as ever
*is teleported away*
*stumbles a little slightly dizzy *
Whu? Oh that's weird.
*waves a hand absently the dizzyness passing*
I can wait. Its fine. You do what you need to.
-I stand there, shadows creeping all around me, as I form with them, a sword forming in my hand-
A sword, what good that will do when you can't move.
*I bend my finger slightly, Dimitri's wrist following the motion to the verge of breaking*
-i resist, breaking the tie-
I don't think so.
(Dimitri this tie is right to your soul, the only person capable of doing ANYTHING about it is Trip, and only because his magic deals directly with the soul as well)
*runs off*
*comes back with popcorn*
*sits on Onzwa watching the boys*
-I laugh at Blake-
I don't have a soul.
(If you didn't my magic would never have worked in the first place)
