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.

Oh god
I seriously need this on a poster right this second, it's stunning. Mr Percival's really outdone himself this time.
I have a Time of the Doctor and a small Hunger Games Catching Fire poster, this will stand out beautifully on my wall. I have the perfect place for it. God damn...
*thunders in not her nightmare*
*brings it to a stop just before Chi*
*jumps down at pats his nose*
Good Onzwa.
Hey guys! The covers amazing isn't it!
Oh my golden God! This is BEAUTIFUL! Tom Percival is a genius!!
*returns to staring at the cover*
Hey Mir!
*waves*
How are you?
*strokes Onzwa*
Hi Silente :)
I'm trying to not be stressed and I think I'm doing quite well^^
(I'm packing)
Packing? You going somewhere?
Yep! I'll leave tomorrow night. Or rather Sunday morning - at two o'clock, meaning right in the middle of the night.
I'm going on a school trip to France :)
Have fun Mithria. You know, one of my best friends irl is in France the now for a school trip, I think he comes back tomorrow.
/heavy breathing/
*hugs Chi*
Thank you! Where did he go? South? North? Somewhere else?
Urg 2 o'clock? Ouch that's way to early...France you say? Any reason on just yolo school trip?
*hugs* I'm not sure, can't remember.
Did you read the new chapter?
Way way way to early!!
Um... *tries to find a reason*
Yeah! We're a language school and we're learning french, so they thought we should go to France so that we actually have to speak french.
@Chi: ARGH! I knew I forgot something!! Sorrysorrysorrysorry!
*disappears, reading*
*comes back*
*sniff*
Wow... I didn't think THAT would happen...
THAT COVER OHMYGOSH :O
I'm going on a school trip to France in a few months . . . :P
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Star*
HIIII!
Seems like everybody's going to France^-^
Yeah. :) :) It's clearly the Place to Be. :P
I DON'T HAVE ANY ONLINE FRIENDS IN FRANCE, THOUGH . . . :/
#ChaseForBookNine
Neither do I, Star.
But I am very proud of having you guys!
M-mithria I'm so sorry ;_; Star burned your body, not me.
And *huffs* I'm not going to France. I went to Germany though :)
@Chi: I don't want to see this ;_;
I want to see this :D
Okay? Read my comment on your story and you'll see what I think of it! :)
May I ask where exactly you went to?
I HATE MY SISTER! IVE MANAGED TO AVOID HIMYM SPOILERS FOREVER NOW! SINCE IT FINISHED IN THE STATES IVE MANAGED TO AVOID IT! THEN SHE JUST COMES RIGHT OUT AND BLURTS THE SPOILERS! JUST LIKE THAT! JUST LIKE FRIKIN THAT! STUPID SISTER!!!
Furth. In Nurnberg.
Nürnberg?? That's not even two hours' drive from my place!!
Oh god Mithria, I'm sorry for making you cry *hugs her tightly* And you're not really dead...you're still alive, you're part of me. And hell no! it's certainly not the end of my fanfiction yet xD I still have like 6 chapters to write up and more to write.
Gtg, sorry, fours. :(
Chi, your chapter was ace!
*no time for a detailed reply* D:
#ChaseForBookNine
I always cry when I read emotional things, Chi^^ I can't help it...
This part-of-you-thing is kinda creepy tbh... Wouldn't that mean, there are two people in one body?
It's not over yet? YAY!
No, it's like, part of your brain, your memories, your powers, have joined with mine, you can't really control my body but you can talk to my through your thoughts, I can use your powers and harness your memories.
Mithria, I cannot wait to write the chapters for the Christmas dance but sadly I can't jump right to it. I'll need to fill in the ChixDex stuff. Oh god the dance will be amazingggggggggggg.
Ah... okay, that's better^^
Ooooooh, I can't wait to read it!!! But I also can't wait for the ChixDex stuff :D It's soooo cute!
^.^ Thank you. I mean, I know they're going a it too fast but, come on, have you seen Dexter? Hottie!
*sighs*
Dexterrrrrrr...
*-*
(Dinner! Bbl!!)
Okay. I've calmed down. I'm not going to kill her. Yet. Probably. Anyway.
How are we pepolz?
*strokes On patting his neck*
I'm good Silente, you?
*walks around her house* Hmm...
I'm fine thanks Chi.
*looks lovingly at the nightmare*
He's a beauty isn't he. He's perfect.
*wants to move stuff around but doesn't want to change the house without Blake here*
Hey Chi did you finish the bathroom? I kind of...died last night, theoreticly of course.
(Mesa back. *nods*)
Hey mir!
Mesa no Mith. Mesa Jar Jar.
Yes, we're finished everything Silente. All the furnature is in but messed up, it's everywhere but I don't want to arrange anything without Blake, it's his house too.
Mesa jar. Willkommen zurück Mesa.
Welcome back? was I right?
Oh. Well he'll probably be on tonight right?
Yes, he will but not for another 3 hours or so...
Yup that was welcome back.
(Don't actually know German just have Google translate)
Are you so desperate to change it that you can't wait? I know its annoying but it can't be that bad.
*frowns* Jar Jar, what are you doing here? Did you just use my account??
Jar Jar: Mesa bor...
*sighs*
(Sorry, might be slightly distant...)
HELLO!
Wbd, though - I want to write . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
(Me too Star, that's why^^ But still welcome back!)
@Mithria: :) :)
I have this character, and I don't know what his name is but his number's Four, and I don't know whether to kill him off or not.
Hmm.
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm afraid I can't help you with this, Star. Your decision^^
4 is my favourite number D: don't kill him xD
And no, I'm not DESPERATE but it would be nice to have it in order. I was thinking about having a house-warming party this weekend and invite everyone. Who would like to come? ^.^
I would say no. Parties are fun. Very fun.
**wouldn't!
D: you're not coming?
Oh thank god... I'm so glad xD
@Chi: And suddenly I want to kill him. :P
Idk, though . . . it would be easy for him to die, seeing as he's human, but he's smart. He's survived this long.
I might injure him and let him live.
For a time.
#ChaseForBookNine
Star ;_; you're mean.
And if you have the time, can you give your full opinion on my chapter? I love feedback ^.^
I'm afraid I won't be able to come... You know, France... and no computer available...
Wow. Cats, Derek! Holy space cats with bread for feet!
*shakes fist at Tom Percival* You rule, guy! :P
It's pretty stunning art.
Like, wow. ._.
:)
#ChaseForBook9
Aww, that's a real shame Mithria, I would invite you in but the place isn't finished yet... Maybe when you get back you can come over. We spent the last 2 days building our new house.
cannot get posters outta my mind now, also the posted thing was awesome,
Wait, hold on a minute, Chi... your new house? What the hell did I miss?
Hello Taia and molevlian!
Will there be alcohol? Or ice cream? Just random questions..
Um...you missed me and Blake moving in together...?
They made a house!
And he made me a nightmare!
And I have a tree house!
And Alastairs back.
Of course there will be alcohol! and there will be a buffet I the kitchen Silente :) I will definitely get ice-cream.
*looks at Silente* When did you make a treehouse?
Oh, how touching. A heartwarming house party. I can't wait to see how it'll turn out.
0_0
*gasps*
I... I....
*sighs*
All the important things happen when I'm not here...
Anyway... *hugs Chi*
That's so cool!
A bit ago. I was bored and virtually alone. It was better than hiding stuff under trees. So I made a tree house in that oak. Its well camoflauged.
*points to a large oak tree*
Oh look. Speak of the devil and Alastair will appear. Hey.
It's really beautiful.
Who is the naked guy in the bottom right corner?
@Chi: Oh, sure. Of course. :)
Ermmmm . . . *tries to remember back* *lol my memory is such a fail*
I did not expect that to happen. O_O
It's really nice how she's still there, though . . . a memory of her. :)
It's, you know, heartwarming. :)
And Chi's new powers are cool. :)
Also, it's so ace how I'm evil. XD
I'll come to the housewarming party if you have one! :)
You might not want Hunter there, though. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Hello, vampire. You wouldn't believe the fun I had last night. *smirks at the memory* You lot have no idea what you're missing.
Hi, Chione! :)
Hi Mithra! :)
HI Silente! :)
Hi Star! :)
@Mith: I totally just managed to misread your name as 'Mithcroft' somehow. xD
#ChaseForBook9
I would want everyone on blogland there. Maybe except Zaffy and Adra together... and of course him *turns to Alastair*
*looks at Alastair from the distance*
*tries to remember if she has met him*
@Taia: *tacklehugs*
HI!
And that's so cool!!
*sighs*
I miss my husband...
Oh I don't think I want to know what it was. Its probably safer that way. So. How are you.
*starts petting Onzwa again*
Mithria, where did he even go?
((Mir- Alastair is one of the names Niccoló took. He's a sadist who likes causing pain))
@Chi: Ember's got loads of stuff to do, so she hasn't got the time to come on here... that's why Mycroft's not here...
(AH! I knew I heard the name somewhere before! Thanks for telling me, Silente!)
Oh. Well you don't need him. *smiles* You have me.
I haven't been better in quite some time.
And why is that, Chione?
*grins at Chi*
Thank you!
((Your welcome. Be careful around him. He's not very friendly.. or even slightly friendly.. and he doesn't like me much. Well I say doesn't like. He lakes causing me pain via hurting my friends. Like I said, not nice.))
Because it is both Blake and I's house so if he sees you, he might not be able to hold back, and I might just let him go. I doubt I could stop him anyway. So you're not invited.
*nods at Silente*
I'll stay back... I'll try.
Good to know your fine. Wouldn't wan Niccoló to be hrt would we now?
*strokes the nightmare feeling its nerves*
*pats his neck affectionately*
Shhh boy its okay.
*is tacklehugged/hugs back* Hey, Mith! :)
(Oh wait, so it's Aretha behind Alastair? I absolutely did not know that. xD )
#ChaseForBook9
((I don't only like causing pain. I am in love with pain as a principle. Sadism, masochism, whatever you want to call it. I happen to believe that humans are sadistic by nature, but that doesn't mean I can't also be a masochist.))
((I beg your pardon. No one is behind me.))
Hello.
((Star: Yes, Taia. :) :) I know - you do tend to forget . . . Ari is so good at characterisation. :O
Also, Alastair - I looked up sadism the other day and sadism and masochism are linked.
So yeah.))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: What she meant, Alastair, is that Ari's hands are writing your character.))
#ChaseForBookNine
Alastair tell me. What's your plan food the future. I could /sooo/ imagine you starting a lovely little farm and frolicking in the country side.
Hey Hunter. How are you?
Hello Hunter! how are you?
Maybe you just don't know, Alastair. Maybe there IS someone behind you. Think about it.
Hunter! I don't think you remember me but still Hi!
I'm as I am, Silente. *looks pleased with his answer* *it's his new thing to say* How are you?
#ChaseForBookNine
((food the future? sounds tasty Silente :3))
There could potentially be someone behind all of us.
*shrugs*
If I ever meet who's behind Ez, I think I'm going to propose to them. If I ever meet who's behind me, I think I will murder them. But I'll sell me off first, of course. I don't want the me-project to just be DROPPED. That would be a bit alarming. Imagine if I just dropped to the floor and stopped moving one day?
Of course I remember you, Mithria. :P How could I forget?
How are you? :)
#ChaseForBookNine
((God damn it my spelling! **plan for the future! How did plan turn into food?!))
I'm well hunter. Your face seems better now.
(@Alastair: Sorry. :P
I mean, I didn't know you were with relation to Niccoló and whatnot.
*nods*
*uncertainly*)
Good day, Hunter! :)
(@Star: She is. :) )
And (@Star/Alastair: Yes. Thanks. :) )
#ChaseForBook9
@Silente: *frowns* Which face?
#ChaseForBookNine
*smiles at Hunter and shrugs*
I just mean, we've only met once or twice...
I'm fine, thanks. I'd ask you but you'd say the same as you said to Silente, right? You're as you are. Good answer, by the way.
STAR; SHIT I JUST SPLIT MILKSHAKE
AND AM TYPING THIS RATHER THAN CLEARING IT UP
UH
#CghaseFrobooknine
The face that it..er...hugged. yeah let's go with hugged. With its hand. Very tightly. Very quickly. Rather painfully.
@Hunter: But then there'd just be another person behind you? Could you sell yourself off to yourself? And then the only person behind you is you. :)
((@Star: On a side-note, I hope that Hunter does not kill you. :P))
((His proposing to you might be fun though. xP))
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, Hunter, I was planning on having a house-warning party this weekend, obviously i'll need to talk with Blake first but I would love for you to come if he agrees.
Gotta gooo.
*hugs all* BYE.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Taia*
See you! Bye!
Bye Taia!
*jumps onto Onzwa and lays on his back*
((Star: I SPILT MILKSHAKE /ON MY CARPET/ AND NOW IT SMELLS FUNNY
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIT
yeah
sorry))
@Taia: *frowns* Why would I want to be behind myself? That'd be too much work.
((Star: @Taia: I hope he doesn't kill me too . . . D:
Oh, gosh, him proposing'd be awkward. :P))
@Mithria: Thank you. :) Yes, it was a good answer. It's good you're good.
@Silente: Yeah, it's fine. *shrugs*
Well, I assume it is.
Maybe you should ask it.
@Chi: I'd love to. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
See you soon, Taia.
#ChaseForBookNine
*shrugs* okay.
*sits up and looks at hunters face*
Are you okay hunters face? I'm sorry that it hurt you.
Hunter's face: *looks mournful* I'll live. I do wish Hunter would look after me, though. He's not very considerate.
*frowns*
Hey. I'm perfectly considerate.
You call that CONSIDERATION?
What do you expect, a massage every weekend?
Maybe I just expect to STAY IN ONE PIECE?
You do? Well, that's a bit stupid of you. You should adjust to the situation, catch up to the times.
I do not have to fucking do anything.
Well, /I/ don't have to fucking do anything.
I wish you DIDN'T fucking do anything. That would make my life a lot easier.
*slaps face* Shut up.
*frowns* Ow. That hurt.
#ChaseForBookNine
Okayyyyyyy.... that's normal
(God, Star!! I nearly fell off my chair right now. I'm still laughing... xD)
It is? *looks relieved* Oh, good.
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey Dragona!
Yes hunter totally normal.
((Star: Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D *hugs Mithria*
I didn't do anything, though. Hunter just does stuff and then I'm just sat there looking at him going WHAT IS LIFE. :P))
Hey, Dragona.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Silente: Oh. *eyes go grey*
#ChaseForBookNine
(@Star: *laughs* Hunter is great!!!)
*blinks*
Well, I guess in your case it's normal, Hunter...
Hunt? You okay? No need to be shocked! Or to hide your feelings..
((Star: I know. :) I'm so glad he's invaded my head.
Hunter: See, I knew you'd thank me one day. *looks smug*
Star: *glares at him*))
@Mithria: I do hope not. I don't LIKE slapping my face. My hands protest, and I don't want to rile them up too much in case they go on strike or something.
#ChaseForBookNine
Then why the hell did you do it?
*looks suspiciously at Silente, eyes going a darker, more opaque grey* Yes, of course I'm okay.
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh okay then. I just though something might be...okay why are you getting angrier?
im in love with it already! <3
@Mithria: Well, it was annoying me.
You know how faces get. Think they can complain at everything, just because they have a mouth to complain with. -_-
#ChaseForBookNine
You just have to treat it nice, then it won't have a reason to complain, you know.
Question: Should I make a blog with images similar to my picture atm? I can do loads and some of them are really cool.
*eyes go a more grey kind of grey* I'm not getting angrier.
Look. Stop trying to read my emotions. It takes many years of skilful observation, so if you think you can do it after meeting me, what? Twice? then you're severely mistaken and are just making yourself look like an idiot.
#ChaseForBookNine
I made one which is black background with a green pattern and apparently it looks like a butterfly on some grass.
Sorry I was just...yeah...never mind.
If you want Dragona
Dragona: Why not? I think that would be quite cool!
((Star: @Dragona: *thinks about it* *nods* :) :)))
@Mithria: I have tried treating it nice, but it's just such a bother, you see.
And even when I try, it doesn't like it, so I just give up.
#ChaseForBookNine
((Star: @Dragona: Ace. :) :)))
@Silente: *nods* Good.
((Star: Sorry about Hunter, Silente. D:))
#ChaseForBookNine
((Its fine Star.))
*shakes head*
*speechless*
*smiles, eyes going green*
#ChaseForBookNine
VERY WOW
((Star: @Thrust: IKR. O_O))
#ChaseForBookNine
Congratulations, Hunter.
*nods*
*hugs her horse*
*nods back at Mith* Thanks.
Nice horse, Silente.
#ChaseForBookNine
*sits on her chair reading*
*speechless again*
Why thank you. He's called Onzwa. Blake made him for me.
*pets her shadow horse*
Love you boy.
Making the blog.
*waves to Chi*
I can't wait for next week! NEXT WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Blake makes horses? *looks interested, purple*
Is your tongue all left, Mithria? :P *eyes green again*
#ChaseForBookNine
*shakes head*
It's right, Hunter. It's right!
@Mithria; *frowns* That's worrying. Have you thought about locking it up?
#ChaseForBookNine
Blake makes nightmares. Horses that are made of shadows and have dead horse souls in them. They never die. I love him.
*smiles up at the horse*
I might ask him to give my boy wings.
@Mithria: Why is it right? *scowls*
Everything is always right. There is an immense imbalance of rightness. Imagine a scale, okay? Imagine that scale unbalanced. Now imagine that scale having so much weight on one side it plummets halfway into the ground and breaks. The great thing is, though, that it made a hole in the ground as it died so you don't have to bother digging a grave for it . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
@Silente: Never die? That's a bit harsh. Can they commit suicide?
#ChaseForBookNine
Sometimes... only sometimes... you worry me, Hunter.
Btw, I didn't mean right right, I meant right as the opposite of left.
I don't think so. Unless their soul is removed they can't die. And why is that harsh?
Well, it's good it's only sometimes.
A small amount of worry is good for you.
And I meant left as the opposite of right.
The very UNEQUAL opposite of right.
#ChaseForBookNine
Huh? Now I'm confused...
*sighs*
Why are you confusing me?
Because confusion is good for you too.
. . .
Well, okay, I may have just made that up.
#ChaseForBookNine
Stuff it, I can't wait any longer, if he doesn't like it he can change it later. *puts a mirror above the fireplace, puts curtains on the windows, puts up a painting of cherry blossoms across from the window, behind the cough*
That's the living room done.
*goes to the kitchen and sorts all of the utensils into cupboards*
*looks at the bare fridge and thinks of an idea and smiles to self*
Hey, Mithria, Silente, hunter, do you guys wanna come in? I mean, it's not completely finished yet but it's presentable.
*laughs*
Yeah, alright...
If confusion is good for me, I must be very very good as I am very very confused. All the time.
And I gotta go now... Sorry!
It was nice to meet you again, Hunter!
Bye everyone else! *pulls everyone into a great group hug*
See you when I come back from France!
couch**
You are very very good, Mithria. :) *nods* See you soon!
Sure, Chi. *cautiously steps over threshold and looks around* Nice house.
You need more toasters in it, though.
#ChaseForBookNine
*walks into Chi's house*
Yeah sure. Need help moving stuff? I know you a little week right now..
http://aurawallpapers.blogspot.co.uk/
Those are the backgrounds I've made if anyone's interested.
Bye mir!
lol Dragona!
Bye mithria! *hugs tightly* I'll miss you but have fun!
Oh god damn it.
IT DOES LOOK LIKE A BUTTERFLY ON A BLADE OF GRASS!!!
