The next few weeks and months are going to be choc-full of announcements and reveals. In a matter of DAYS, for example, you'll be finding out more about this "270914" thing, and after that you'll be getting all kinds of juicy goodness. But TODAY, my Minions, is the day I announce something that has been in my head for YEARS.
I am proud, excited and absolutely delighted to announce that a special, exclusive gathering will take place in London on publication day, August 28th. I give you...
The Requiem Ball.
This is an invitation only get-together — a party, if you will — with 120 places up for grabs in very special competitions for Ireland and UK readers. You'll get the details of these competitions and other ways to nab yourself an invitation over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on this blog.
But you know I'd never leave the rest of you out of the action COMPLETELY, so we're going to have 250 party packs, jammed full of goodies, ready to send to you so that you can throw your own simultaneous Requiem Ball Parties at home. There'll be loads of stuff to download, whichever far-off country you're in, be it Ame-rica (am I pronouncing that right?) or Burkina Faso (yes, we notice EVERYTHING).
The Requiem Ball is basically my thank you to all of my Minions, for creating such a fun, creative, and frankly down-right crazy community around these books. I want to bring everyone together for one almighty celebration for the final book, and it's going to be EPIC.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 4268 Newer› Newest»The unit called "Dugglyn Carzainia" is not in need of repair! You are Mr. Roboty! Not me, you!!! Yes you!!!!
*jumps up and down pointing at him*
Youyouyouyouyouyouy!!!!!!!!!
We are not named 'Gethzilla'. We are Geth.
You are referencing the popular comic book creature designated 'Godzilla'. But you should note the difference in both species and size between the creature and this unit. It is not an acceptable designation for this unit.
Gethzilla!!!!!!
*falls to the ground again*
*sparks shoot out her ears*
That is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
[Whispers to Elleni] This is my boyfriend. His name is Elleni now. [points to Rook's name tag] So there. I kissed Elleni. [nods]
...
I don't like making people uncomfortable.
...
Not usually.
(Nice idea, Effieeeeee!)
This unit is not malfunctioning. Our diagnostics suggests all systems are working correctly.
No problemo.
[repeats herself]
Geth unit, truth or dare?
Yo Gethzilla, Effie asked truth or dare?
Yeah, well MY diagnostics suggests all systems are working correctly!
Brb, food!
This unit chooses truth.
Aww. Okay.
If you were to destroy the world, how would you go about it?
This unit would hack into every government's computer systems and fire nuclear warheads. Statistically it has the highest chance of success, along with genetically engineering a virus to infect the human population.
*nods*
Okay. Gethzillas turn.
Tempest-Silente, do you wish to be asked a question, in response to which you have to answer truthfully, or be ordered to participate in a physical action?
Dare please Gethzilla.
This unit requests that you eat a chair.
Even with our 1183 programmes communicating at the speed of light, this unit had trouble coming to a decision concerning what to request Silente to do. We failed to reach consensus. Therefore we were forced to select an object that was nearby and an action using our limited knowledge of human biology.
Eat a chair? Okay!
*sets into one of her portals*
*comes back with a chair made of chocolate*
*dark chocolate*
*snaps a leg off, eats it*
*does the same to the other legs*
*eats the rest and puts a hand to her stomach*
Mmm. Chocolate.
Gtg. Dunno if I'll be back or not. See y'all real soon!
Back!
OMG! EAT A CHAIR!!!
*bursts into another, larger bout of giggles*
Eat a chair!!! WTH!!!
OMG!
YOU ARE AWESOME, MR. ROBOTY!
Hey :) kinda here, kinda not
Okay before I leave T or D Elleni?
Ah, Silente, you're no fun!
*pouts*
Oh, bye!!! Maybe see you later!!!!!
*waves a carzy grin on her face*
This unit is not a robot. We are Geth.
Hiya Flora!!!!!!!
*hyper jumps around her*
*is still changing color, shooting out sparks, and vibrating*
Mr. Roboty, I already told you, I DON'T CARE!
*herumpfs*
*the Midnight Hotel blooms out of the ground*
Good evening, friends, Romans, and countrymen. How-do-you-do?
I have been busy, and therefore, not around much. In fact, I have a very important test coming up next week, and I have been studying for it.
But I am here now, which is the main thing.
*sigh*
Your designation for this unit is incorrect.
HI ANNIKA!!!!!!!!!!!
*hyper jumps around her*
*shoots off sparks and changes colors*
HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!!!!!!!! !
How be's yous?!?
How be's yous eyes?!??!?!
Oh, it's The Geth! Hullo, Mr. The Geth.
Annika, it is not Mr. The Geth. It is Mr. Roboty!
(Okay if Elleni choses Trutho How are you (something a lot of people lie about)
Or she chooses Dare: Feed Dugglyn a chocolate bar.)
DUGGLYN!
*jumps up and down excitedly*
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN, DUGGLYN?
I HAVE BEEN DOING OKAY!
EXCEPT FOR SCHOOL!
WHICH IS ANNOYING, IF NOT DIFFICULT!
AND THE FACT THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN IN BLOGLAND LATELY!
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?
We are not Romans. Your system's timer is a millennia too slow. We recommend calibrations.
This unit also does not come from this country. Your greeting is incorrect.
In that case, domo arigato, Mr. Roboty.
YOUR FACE IS INCORRECT, MR. ROBOTY.
In any case, are we playing Blogland Truth-or-Dare?
I love Blogland Truth-or-Dare.
May I play?
This unit is not a robot. Carzainia-Dugglyn is malfunctioning.
Feed Dugglyn a Chocolate Bar.
*leaves*
Oh gosh golly, what dandy fine news. So I CAN play!
*polishes the brass-nameplate on my desk*
WE ARE SCREAMING BECAUSE I HAD THREE CAFFEINATED ENERGY DRINKS (in role play though I am still very hyper!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*jumps over to Elleni*
I like this dare!
Sorry--
Fabi's internet broke and she had to fix it because her mom tried to restart the wrong gizmo.
BUT I HAVE RETURNED
APPLAUD MY GLORY
(Or laugh. That works too)
I too am a fan of heavily caffeinated deliciousness. We should be friends, or carpool buddies.
Effie, welcome back! Your absence was deeply and profoundly felt by all.
We do not recommend giving the human designated "Dugglyn" more energy.
*applauds AND laughs!*
Yeah! FABI!!!!!
*eats chocolate bar*
*sparks fly out of her ears, eyes, and mouth*
*she is rapidly changing colors*
*she is bouncing up and down so fast she is vibrating*
ME?! MALFUNCTIONING?! NEVER!
*turns to Clara*
OF COURSE YOU CAN PLAY!!!!!
I agree. She may soon reach Squirrel-on-a-Motorcycle levels of caffeine.
*consults clipboard*
Possibly even Hummingbird-on-a-Rollar-Coaster.
*frowns*
Oh dear.
*INTENSE CLIPBOARD CONSULTATION*
I dedicate this page to dung beetles. They lay their eggs in poop! What could be cooler!
. . .
*clutches clipboard to chest like a teddy bear*
*sinks sadly into the swivel chair at my desk*
Ya see, I don't typically have caffeine and yet I am hyper. I had three things of caffeine so it's an over load!!!!
Hello, Annika.
Wow.
[Steps away from Dugglyn, veeeeeeery slowly]
I should be going.
No, Elleni . . .
*reaches out sadly*
*lets my arm drop*
. . .
AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! BYE ELLENI! SEE YA LATER! ENJOY THE DUNG BEETLES!!!!!
No, Effie, you just got here!
Don't leave me alone with the caffeinated squirrel!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! FABI!!!!!!!! DON'T LEAVE!!!!!!!!
This unit recommends that "Dugglyn" should be repaired.
*turns to Clara*
I AM /NOT/ A CAFFEINATED SQUIRREL!!!!!!
I . . . I agree with the Geth.
*scribbles on clipboard*
I never thought I'd hear myself saying that . . .
*looks up*
*meekly* I apologize.
WELL THIS UNIT RECOMMENDS THAT MR. ROBOTY SHOULD BE REPAIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TAKE THAT!
DO YOU NEED SOME ICE FOR THAT BURN?! YEAH?! YEAH?!! YEAH?!?!??!!?!??!?!
*looks at Annika*
There is something you consider wrong with agreeing with a Geth? Has this unit offended you in any way?
Oh, I can feel the caps-lock from here.
*looms over Clara even though she is shorter than her*
YOU BETTER!
*sparks fly everywhere*
*one of her eyes, the one that came out earlier, pops out again and lands in Clara's hair*
*turns to Dugglyn*
This unit has received no damage. Systems are fully functioning. Therefore we have no need for ice. However, I am of the understanding that your planet has an increased average temperature. Earth might require that ice.
[Gives Dugglyn a mug of soothing chamomile tea]
I'm afraid I have a previously scheduled appointment I must keep, but I shall endeavor to remain for a few minutes longer.
Oh. Ok.
*throws ice everywhere*
I didn't realize earth had a burn!
*looks at the tea*
Is it caffeinated?
*slowly pulls the eye out of my hair*
Please, Dugglyn, eyes are so difficult to wash out of my stunning quaff.
*creeps back on*
*laughs evily*
*throws more chocolate yo Dugglyn*
This unit recommends Carzainia-Dugglyn to be deactivated.
What's a quaff?
**to not yo
The magnificently fabulous curtain of chocolate-covered hair that coats my scalp, of course.
*nods solemnly*
*grabs up all the chocolate*
*drops the tea*
*stuffs all the chocolate in her mouth*
THANKS SILENTE!!!!!!!!!!
You can see it here:
--->
In this beautiful profile picture of my lovely self. I must say, I'm rather cuter in it than I am in real life. Though they do say that the camera adds chibi.
Barnosky-Annika, you did not answer our question. Do you consider agreeing with this unit to be a bad thing?
CHOCOLATE COVERED HAIR?!
*looks at Clara's hair*
*jumps on her and begins eating her hair*
MUST HAVE MORE CHOCOLATE!
I DON'T WANT TO BE DEACTIVATED!!!!!!!!
*ju-jitsu-style-death-kicks Dugglyn off my head*
I think agreeing with anyone in a highly caffeinated state is a bad idea. After all, they say the road to Hell is paved with coffee and Mountain Dew.
Unless you are also caffeinated. Then it is okay.
You are malfunctioning and present a damage to yourself and surrounding humans. It is a logical decision. We have reached consensus. You must be deactivated.
*advances towards Dugglyn*
*throws more and more chocolate to Dugglyn along with energy drinks*
*THROWS ESPRESSO'S AT HER*
*runs away*
Oh goodness, there now . . .
*holds up hands placatingly*
Surely deactivation is a little rash. At least don't do it my lobby. I imagine there are lasers involved.
*hits the ground with a mouth full of hair*
It doesn't taste chocolatey!
*spits it out*
Just like hair....
*it in
This unit does not have any laser weaponry. We were planning on knocking her unconscious to await repairs.
*grabs all the things Silente threw at her*
*eats them all*
*turns into mist*
*it still shoots out sparks and changes color*
*the mist moves back slowly*
Oh.
*shrugs*
Well, that's okay then.
Oh.
My.
Perhaps knocking out a mist won't work so well.
NOT UNCONSCIOUS!!!!!!!
*leaves a map to a Dugglyn-proof bunker behind*
*as well as about a hundred expresso's*
*puts head in hands*
If my predecessor could see all the manic violence in this lobby right now . . .
This unit is incapable of making a human into a robot. It is impossible. You lack the necessary technology.
testing one two!
*whispers to Clara* your predecessor would not allow such violence. But then again he always was better at running this hotel than you...
Ok good!!!!!!!!!!!!
My kindle died so i had to use my dad's computer. I wasn't sure how to sign in but it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*opens mouth to yell at Silente*
*closes it again*
*sighs*
Yes . . . I know. I can never live up to what that man was.
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT VIOLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S MR. ROBOTY WHO WANTS TO HIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*still whispering* no you can't. He was a better man. No one died on his watch just because he was to slow. And he never had to burn the hotel to the ground. Such a pity he couldn't leave it to someone better equipt than you.
*is next to Dugglyn*
*swings a fist at her*
*grabs the espressos*
*drinks them*
*her vision gets shaky*
LOT O' CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*fist clenching and unclenching*
*through gritted teeth* Don't say things like that.
He trusted me, and I've done a damn fine job. Don't . . . don't you tell me that I'm not good enough, because that means that his judgement wasn't good enough, and that
is
not
the case.
*forced smile*
I've run it for quite a while, Elleni, yes.
*the fist swings through the mist*
HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*floats over to Clara*
you are a great owner of the midnight hotel!
*floats over to Silente*
*sparks fly out of her landing on Silente*
*floats away from her*
*still whispering* I never said his judgment was wrong. He did what he could to get the best apprentice he could. But Mr Shudder never had that big a sea with which to catch his apprentice fish. If he were here now...well. He's not. But you are. And your letting him down...
*throws chocolate energy drinks to Dugglyn*
I . . . I've just been defended by an over-caffeinated mist.
Alright.
*grabs a vacuum cleaner and sucks Dugglyn in*
This unit considers human technology inadequate.
Yes, yes you have!!!!
(OMG, when I read that I literally burst out laughing!!!!)
*takes the chocolate energy drinks*
*lunges at Silente*
*slams her against the wall by her shirt collar*
I am NOT letting him down!
Maybe I'm not the manager he was. You know why? Because he was better, and smarter, and ruthless, and he could KILL. I can't KILL. I've never been able to KILL.
And maybe if I had the guts to kill . . .
*grip loosens*
The hotel would be better . . . safer . . .
And YOU wouldn't be here! You would've DIED in that fire!
*lets go of Silente*
GUYS I NEED YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESSES
*the mist is still letting out sparks and the vacuum cleaner catches fire*
*it explodes with a bang*
* the mist floats away from it, unharmed*
(Lucia, why?)
(Oh, well, pardon me for just blinding trusting Luciana.)
*smiles at Clara*
And those words, those idiot remarks that were just made. Those are all the lies some people will try to tell you. Each of them is a lie. He chose the best for the job. The fact you cant kill, that makes you stronger. He was right. Your perfect for the job.
*hugs Clara*
*kisses her cheek*
Never let the haters get to you Darling. Because they're all wrong.
kutekillerkitty@gmail.com
Hmph.
*a moment passes*
*claps an arm around Silente's shoulders*
Sometimes, I just don't know what to make of you, you know that?
*returns to swivel chair*
*puts feet up on the desk*
Now then, where's that mist got to?
I'LL EXPLAIN IN E-MAIL IT'S SUPER TOP SECRET STUFF OKAY
*smiles sadly*
*whispers*
You never have, my queen.
*leaves*
*growls disgruntledly at Silente*
*starts doing hotel paperwork because I can do nothing about the mist*
Derek are you aware that Canada exists? Are you sure?
(Lucia - I'd like to. But like I have a rule. I never do stuff without knowing what it is. Idk I made it ages ago and yeah, it's just one of my rules.)
Canada? You mean North Nevada?
. . . Apologies.
Dragona, can you not trust me?
Though, I think I might have your e-mail anyway... I'll check.
What's Canada?
*laughs*
Jk. I go up there every summer!
brb!
*laughs quietly at hee growl finding it adorable*
*shakes her head*
*IS ACTUALLY LEAVING NOW BYE GUYS SEE Y'ALL REEEEEEAL SOON!*
**her as in Claras
*growling intensifies*
*resists the urge to ruffle her hair*
*WHY AM I STILL HERE*
*sighs*
Not the hair!
*clutches head*
Not the hair!
*cute growling*
Wow... fantastic. I'm surprised the Ameriminions and Australians are sort of involved. Thanks :]
By the way, by brother John was married this last Saturday :D
I know, totally random, but I thought I'd put that out there.
Well done, Johnny-boy! May you have many years of happiness!
*throws bells*
*rings glitter*
Okay, check your e-mails! Sorry if I've missed you out, just send me an e-mail (lucianascath@gmail.com) and I'll forward it to you with my sincerest apologies for missing you out! <3
Now then, it's been fun, but I'm afraid I must go. I have business elsewhere.
*the Midnight Hotel quietly slips away, into the fabric of the universe*
Bye Annika!

HAVE YOU GOT TWITTER OR SOMETHING? OR YOU COULD JUST E-MAIL ME? OR IF YOU'VE GOT FACEBOOK MESSAGE ME OR MY PAGE? (Luciana Scáth/ Mr Pleasant, You're A Skeleton)
Elleni, Lucy has a good reason for not telling you until you get the email. i got it, it was fine.
Not saying you have to just that it is ok!
THANK YOU GUYS!
Now MSD. I'm getting tired... Done so much work today... ;-;
Damn EPQ is murder...

I have decided I very much like Blogland truth or dare!!!!

I'm really confused. I'm getting e-mails from people I don't even know:P
Oh goody! How are you Snow?!
How are your eyes!?
I've sent you guys it now haven't I?
I think I just sent it to Snow, so that should be everyone...!
Yep! I got it! Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i remember when i actually started blogland truth or dare and Niccolò had to dress up in a pink dress and he also had to put "!!!<3" after every sentence and man those were the days
*Sqeals*
MARAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *Tacklehugs*
Yeah, I had a lot of fun playing it today!!!!!
I got so hyper!!!
G2g. School
MARALIEEEEEE
ROSEEEEEEEE
*attacklehugs them both*
Good bye!!!!
(( knew the hours of research on Loki would eventually pay off. Did my speech for our director and she found not a single thing to work on, she just simply went in the most excited way: Do it again! -Zaffy))
Nice Zaffy!!
*watches the Midgardians, keeping Zanida close*
I could! Do you need my email?
If you do I will comment it for a couple minutes
*runs up to Loki and Zanida*
HIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!!!
HOW BE'S YOUS?!?!??!
HOW BE'S YOUS EYES?!?!?!?!
Your welcome!
*looks over at* What do you want?
Zanida: Hello!
Just to to say hi!!!
I am a little hyper!!!
*sparks fly out of her mouth, ears, and eyes*
*she is rapidly changing colors*
*walks away*
Zanida: Loki!
*She walks into Blogland, her wrists covered in a thick white gauze bandage, splotches of red puttered around. Her hair is dirty and knotted*
Hey...
Hello. :-)
(Hey!))
*Wakes up, Loki's helmet sticking into her eye* Ow. Hello.
Well, if anyone is here, that is.
Hi Death!
Hello Valencia.
:-)
Hello! How are you faring?
Last night we took the helmet back.
Zanida: Loki, I don't trust her.
You did?
*Notices that it was a pen that poked her* I see.
I'll be horrendously distant; I'm exposing myself to AoT
Pity, I was in the mood to kill one of you today.
Zanida: Loki, stop.
I am not killing them, yet. Perhaps I can control Alastair.
Zanida: No. Alastair would kill you. I have a bad feeling.
How arrogant...
I'm faring well enough. Yourself?
Hi Elleni! :-)
I am well.
Hello, Elleni
Oh, bye Elleni!
Glad to hear, Valencia.
Arrogant? I think not, Midgardian. My sister may possess some of Thor's kindness, but I do not.
*Blinks*
Right.
*Flips over in bed, letting her wings hang*
someone :) threw :) a :) rock :) at :) niall :) horan :) at :) tonight's :) concert :) and :) cut :) his :) knee :) and :) he :) was :) bleeding :) and :) only :) had :) an :) operation :) on :) that :) knee :) 5 :) months :) ago :):):):)
I'M SERIOUSLY TRYING TO TO KILL SOMEONE RIGHT NOW UFHEHWDNN
Zanida: Don't, she is not worth your time, brother.
I do not care about her, I simply want her to suffer.
Zanida: She will, but you need to let yourself calm down.
**not ugh
That's...
Stupid. And rude.
And...ugh.
Just because you don't like a band's music or popularity doesn't mean you have to try to injure them.
I'm so sorry, Maralie! I'm confident that he will be fine.
*Looks over her shoulder, and glares at Loki, then flips over again*
Did I offend the Midgardian?
yo
.....
moustache...
i'm so punny

may or may not have rigged that on perpose
:DDDD
Hear hear!
