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.

Bye Snow!
Msd, dinner.
Back now. :-)
So, how are you?
Good. :-)
...
[Plots evilly]
Fun fact, Google Maps no longer recognizes the existence of my house. O_O
Elleni?
[Innocent look]
(Ninja-ing in class)
Always fear, Dugglyn is here!
Is anybody Hhheeerrrrreeee?!?!?
You don't have to cower in fear, I have calmed down. It is carzy how pretending to be hyper makes you hyper.
Oh never mind! People are here!
People!!!!
*runs at them her arms wide*
Who wants a huuggggg!?!??!?!??!
Ninja! :D
[tacklehugs ninja]
Helloooo Dugglyn! :D
HI ELLENI!
HI FABI!
HI ROSIE!
Um... Like what?
My favorite color is purple?
I like purple. Purple is not my favorite color but it is a good color!
*nods approvingly*
Zanida: Can I see the Tesseract now?
No. Not with the Midgardians around.
Zanida: I am queen-
Zanida, shut up.
*tries to eat Elleni*
Hehe, my evil plan worked again! I say who wants a hug and when they hug me I eat them!
*winds up with a mouthful of clothes*
Ugh, that did not taste good. I do not like to eat clothes. Swimsuits, maybe but not clothes!
*pulls a chocolate bar out of her pocket*
I'll eat this instead!
HI LOKI!!!!! HI ZANIDA!!!!!!!
(Life is boring in Humanities...))
Awwwwwwwwwww.......
*starts crying*
(Gtg might bb!)
Zanida: Hello!
*doesn't acknowledge*
*She looks at Loki, wondering*
Do you know too...? About...?
*She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. If he knew, it was over. Completely and utterly over*
I have an evil plot now? Cool!
PURPLE CARROTS
About my True Name...
Back!
Aww, poor you Rose!
(About boring humanities)
(Yeah... We have a sub...))
*sits in a corner, crying*
All I wanted was a chocolate bar and she took it from me. Why, cruel world?! Why..?
Oh gosh, a sub. That can get interesting.....
I do. I know exactly what you mean.
Um well.....
*She swears*
Okay.
I hate a certain dead person now for being dead..
Great.
Hello, I have many onions. Would you like to buy some? If so go to www.split.org! Thank you!!
I know exactly what this means, Silvorrose.
*smiles* I know what happens when one does not seal their true name.
*She swears again*
Oh, great. Now this will be fun...
*She glares at the ground, making the earth rupture*
I'm very sorry. I meant www.spl.org!
So, does anyone want onions?
((We were spammed.))
I wouldn't do that, Silvorrose.
They cost $100 per half. They come in any type you want and taste amazing!
*She stops. Frowns. And mutters something under her breath*
I wasn't hurting it... It was fine!
*She mutters something else and falls to the ground, crossing her legs*
I do hate people. You included, Loki...
(Technically, it's Slīvœrrsę, it wouldn't work when I first posted it...))
(Please, I shall be polite, but this is a place of relaxation, not shopping. Please find another blog to spam, The Onion Man.))
Yes, Ms. Elleni, the Seattle Public Library. We are selling through them. So, would you like to buy some?
Who is this Dugglyn person you are talking about?!
(I've seen this person before, a long while ago. I visited the link. I remember. It was before Christmas. I don't believe Dugglyn was on at that time...))
*looks around innocently*
What?! Who is this annoying Onion Man?!
XD
(I remember you mentioning this before, Dugglyn!)
((Can we just say Silverrose for the sake of I'm mot entirely surr my computer has the letters?-Zaffy))
I know, most do hate me.
*burst of laughing and rolls around on the ground*
OMG!!!! I totally fooled you! That was SO awesome!!!!
Hehehehehebeheb!!!!!!
(Gtg, food! Bbl!)
(Sure!))
*She growls and sends a chunk of dirt towards him*
Seriously? I never knew that.
Your brother, Thor, was always better. He definatley made a better king.
*She grins up at him*
< i > and < / i > without the spaces for italics, < b > and < / b > without the spaces for bold))
Zanida: Death, do not go there.
Kneel, Silvorrose.
*Her face hardens and she knees*
I swear to God… I’m gonna be the one to kill you…
*She crosses her arms and shrugs*
Eh, I’ve still known nicer, better kings… Though you do have the better hair, Loki, I’ll give you that one.
Let's see...
You will not lay a finger to harm or kill me, Silvorrose. *takes dagger, and puts it to her stomach* Insult me again, and the baby suffers for it.
*Her eyes widens* I said you had better hair! Gosh! And I ain’t gonna kill you… I think I know someone who would, though, at this rate… Threatening his kid… *She grins; it’s shaky and uncertain but there*
((Rose's true name is not sealed, therefore I know it and now am using it against her.))
(BRS found it. And now, he's dead and managed to spread the word. So, everyone knows her true name. And she's screwed.))
Now, dear Silvorrose, you will not hire or ask or force anyone to kill me. You will be a good little girl, and do as I ask.
Zanida: Loki, stop doing that to her! It isn't-
Enough!!!
Zanida: *falls silent, looking fearfully at Loki*
(Billy Ray Sanguine...))
(And yeah, Loki's pretty much got it down pat.))
(I miss roleplaying. I'm gonna try to do something as a character now, and anyone who wants is welcome to join in. Or maybe I'll join you. We'll have to see)
*She grounds her teeth together, feeling walls come up in her mind, sealing her from doing those tasks. She stares up at him scowling.*
Whatever... And who said I ever had to hire someone…? Someone will figure it out. And then they will kill you instead.
*She sounds pleased with herself*
(Uh, it's just a long story with annoyingness, derived from boredom and isolation))
As you say, Midgardian. *turns back to, and walks over to Zanida the sceptre raised to her chest, but not yet touching* What did I tell you?
Zanida: *stays silent, terrified of him*
Tell me, sister. I will use the sceptre to keep you from ruining my plans.
Zanida: Loki, I will not speak out of place.
(I would really prefer it if you wouldn't refer to my characters as me. It makes things a lot harder. But yeah.)
[Cas wakes up on a cold forest floor, covered in bark and leaves.]
It's as though someone tried to bury her here...
[She starts to stand, but then memory hits her and she sinks to the ground again.]
She gave it a choice...
(Can't)
You know, it has often been stated that one may determine the measure of a man by observing how he treats his inferiors, or at least those he perceives to be his inferiors.
*She thinks for a moment, shaking her head* Hey! Loki! Would Thor ever do that to you? *A smile works its way onto her face* I don’t think any king could be so cruel! Don’t hurt your sister, don’t terrify her either! It ain’t nice!
(Hey Sir! Sometimes I do wonder how long you are present before you communicate to us...)
(It's okay...)
[After a moment, she stands again. She has far too much work to do, and she's botched things up enough without lying about like a mortal teenager on a Saturday morning.]
[She shifts into a beetle and flies off into the trees, still muttering under her breath.]
(That's actually a rather intelligent method, Sir Reingington.)
Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other time of day, Ms. Rose, Ms. Jazz, Ms. Fathom, and Mr. Loki.
Ms. Rose, perhaps instead you should wonder for how long I am present before I choose to not communicate.
Indeed, Ms. Fathom, though no theory is without flaws.
(*Laughs and hugs Sir*))
Frankly, Ms. Jazz, my intelligence is hardly above average. Occasionally, style does trump substance.
My sister knows her place. She made a promise to me, I am making sure she keeps it.
Zanida: He is truthful.
Welcome back, Ms. Dugglyn.
Hi Sir!
*She looked at Zadnida, then Loki, then back again* Are. You. Serious?! Who cares? People should be free to do whatever they want... Coming from me. *She glances at her jeans, soaking in the dew from the grass* I'm kinda stuck here.
Yes, I know Sam!! She started the clown apocalypse!
Indeed, Ms. Jazz, I have conversed with Ms. Ish before. Is there a particular reason as to why you are inquiring?
She also needs a body right now.....
One of the mimes killed her.
Get up you mewling quim. *says in reference to Rose*
Hi, guys!
I wrote a story and I tried to post it on here, but Blogger won't let me. Word count and stuff. D:
So does anybody know a way of getting past the evils of word count?
Also, hi, Sir and Duggkyn and Elleni and Cascade and Loki and Death and possibly Fabi. /)
Ok, you all have to admit that the Onion Man trick was good!
OMG, I was dying of laughter!
*She laughs and get to her feet, brushing at the green stains on her knees* Aw, see? You are nice! Deep down, you're so sweet. Thanks. *She nods and crosses her arms*
(Aw...))
That ded was amazing. :)
Aww, I love that ded! It is so sweet!
Indeed. Ms. Ish displayed quite the eye for detail in my short conversation with her.
I do not understand your reasonsing behind that, Rose.
Zanida: Loki, may I speak to Rose alone?
Certainly. *vanishes*
Zanida: Rose, if you know a way to revive Zafira Kerias, kill her. Loki has her under his control, kill and revive her. If you don't, the fate of Midgard will be darkened.
Ok, fine. I didn't fool you Elleni! But I did fool Rose....
:P
*She nods* I know... I'd ask you to kill me but... *She looked down at her stomach* Can't. I'll promise you that I will try my hardest, alright? *She pats Zanida's shoulder* Be brave, kid. Learn to speak up. Torture hurts but he'll learn. I'll try and tell Loki that. *She winked* I've gone through torture way beyond anything he could give me!
(That's only because it has happened before, Duggy...
New nickname... Heh...))
Ms. Dugglyn, as dubious an accolade it is, I congratulate you on your ability to imitate a program designed to advertise.
Oh gosh, yes I did!
*looks around suspiciously*
Are any of you stalkers...?
DUG DUG!!!!!
:D
Zanida: I was tortured by our father, Laufey. I know how horrible it is. That is what Loki uses to scare me, I am afraid to go back to Jodenheim. *smiles* I do not want your world under Loki's rule, I want to bring my brother home.
It's really weird that it happened before!
The whole onion selling thing started when I did a game where you pick your favorite colors and it 'tells you what your personality is' When I picked my favorite colors it said I was simple. Nobody is simple. So then I said I'm not simple! I have many onions! I was going to say I have many layers like an onion but it came out wrong. Then I wrote up a bunch of texts to all my friends saying Hello, I have many onions! Would you like to buy some? If so go to www.spl.org! Thank you! Me cousin (who is 24!) replied and we had this whole silly conversation. Apparently she has a financial advisor who is a calculator!
Im sorry... *Her words are sincere* That would suck... Heaps... And yeah, this world under a rule like his? God... *Something pops into her head* My knife! She fumbled with her knife and holds it up to her face* If I become blind, he can't control my glaring! It would make the word safer!
Hi Fay!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D
(Duggy... Who are you...? Really...?
Someone has said that to me before. You've done this before? Who are you...?))
Zanida: Loki will not use that power, he does not understand or remember it. Keep him out of the knowing.
*tries to look at her face without a mirror*
*doesn't work*
I don't think I'm a 40 year old stalker!
Or am I......!
*She frowns and lowers the weapon* But... If he finds out... *She curls into a ball* I'm doomed... Everyone is doomed...
Oh, I posted the conversation once when I was iloveskuldugger. Is that it?
Zanida: I'm a god just like Loki, I would not think you doomed. Loki will kill with his own hand.
(Death's powers, if she glares at someone, that person will feel horrible pain and can easily kill them with it. She can also manipulate gravity))
*climbs onto a rooftop* *screams it out for the world to hear*
DUGGLYN COULD POSSIBLY BE A STALKER!!!!! :O
AND YES I AM SPEAKING WITH EMOJI!!!!
(and hi, Dugglyn!)
Thank you Elleni!
I'm not a stalker! I promise!
Of course, that's probably what a straw would say.....
(Could be, Duggy!))
*She slowly gets to her feet, trembling* If he kills me, the world is saved. But if he lets me live... It hurts me and kills everyone...
**stalker
(Ok, that makes sense!)
Yeah, sure! What?
What should the story be? Do you have an idea in mind?
Ok!
*floats into Blogland*
*is licking a lollipop*
*walks up the truck of a tree*
*sits on a branch*
Hello world!
*looks at lollipop in Elleni's hand*
*looks into her eyes innocently*
Me get hyper?! Never!
*points behind Elleni*
Oooh, look over there! It's a dinosaur!!!
Zanida: You must live, even if it is for that tiny child within you. I have a son, Jabari Thorson, and I would give anything to keep him safe. I always wanted a daughter, Rose. Thor is afraid to now that he is king. *sighs*
I like Zanida! She is sensible. Ya see, Loki tried to stop me from ruling the world and that made me angry. I also angry at six and Hunter.
Zanida: I have the common sense Loki lacks, I seem to be his common sense.
I know... *She frowns* But still... *She looks up, shocked* Thor is afraid...? I never thought that he could... And I think that you would make a great mother,
Zanida: He's more afraid I'll get hurt, he cares about me. I am a good mother, Jabari turned out fine.
*pulls.out another lollipop and eats it while Elleni is gone*
Hehe, she can't take it from me now!
Oh shiz... D:
I don't understand how you do that!!!!
((This being said, good night.))
Hey, at least it's not me again! I got it twice in a row!
Good night Loki, Zanida, and Zafira!
That's sweet! *She gives her a hug* Congrats!
*She stops* Hey, if... If he ever finds out about the whole glaring thing, blind me, no matter how. I don't want anyone getting hurt...
(Are you back, Elleni?)
(K, that's what I thought!)
[Lands in Blogland and turns back to human]
[Walks the rest of the rest of the way]
(Goodnight, Loki, Zaf and Zanida?))
*Just one the rest of.
Fabi's getting tired.
I feel ya Fabi, I feel ya!
The thing is, is that when I get tired I get weird. Like, even weirder!
*!))
I ded to the word 'Okay'.
It's just...
There's curves and edges in that word. Little jagged and smooth lines. And for some reason, all of those combined make it look like what it means.
Like the word gleefully, for example.
I dunno. I've just always loved the shape and sound of words.
So... Yeah. :P
(I also ded to the Onion Man, who I now know is Dugglyn)
eljkfgnbafbva.kfnebvf.KEHBV.menfb g2 hlwer
Here here!
Hehehe..... Onion Man!
I like the word okay!
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay!!!!!
Hi TBA!!!!! How be's yous?! How be's yous eyes?!
I'm good Dugglyn
Oh goody! I like it when people are good!!
Gotta poof...
I've pretty much been doing that these past few hours. xD
Good bye Fay!!
[Stops and glances around, tilting her head to the side and listening for any sign of life]
*burst out of the undergrowth*
*waves her arms about*
I'm here!!!!! I'm alive!!!!!! I think!
Sorry I poofed, I was checking my onion page. I have on available onion!
[Blinks]
Well, hello there.
[Narrows her eyes suspiciously]
[Mutters something that sounds like Latin but isn't]
Hello! Who might you be?
*she is not at all suspicious or worried about this mysterious person*
What language was that you just used?!
Wood like a lollipop?
*reaches into her pocket but finds it is empty*
*curses softly under her breath*
Elleni!
*looks up*
Sorry, somebody took all of my lollipops. I'll give you one later!
Ain't that true! I've said some weird things when I'm tired....!
Are you back Elleni? If so, welcome back!
*takes the lollipops*
Thank you Elleni!
*gives on to mysterious person*
Here ya go!
*eats the other one*
Ah, sugar!
My eye sockets are filling with Beans!!!!!!!!!!
*runs around Elleni screaming*
Beans, beans the wonderful fruit! The more you eat the more you.....
WANNA EAT!!!!!!!!
My eye sockets!!! They fill with Beans!!!!!!! Ahh!!!
(Fabi? Are you still here?)
*grabs Elleni's wrists*
*now they are both holding each other's wrists*
Hehehe, gotcha!
Ok! I'll brb too!
i should work....
I would not like a lollipop, but thank you.
And no, you haven't seen me before.

[Shrugs]
A lot of places. I don't associate myself with a particular nation, if that's what you're wondering.
Ireland? Am I in Ireland now?
I'm sorry-- I'm not used to alternate inbetween dimensions.
(Okay)
Not exactly, unless you consider Scotland an alternate dimension, but I was under the impression that Blogland was classified as a pocket dimension, bordering Ireland, America and Australia and existing without rule or reason why. Apologies if I was mistaken.
I'm back!!!! You may all stop crying!!
Oh, ok. More lollipops for me!!!
*eats the lollipop she was going to give to Cascade*
Hehehe, sugar!
My eye sockets!!! Beans!!! Ahhha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are filled! My eyes are drowning in beans!!!!!!
Help.......!
Oh Gtg! Goodnight all! Don't let your eyes drown in beans!!!
Hi/bye Dugglyn...? XD
Is Hby, Cascade! Hi/bye.
Just stopping in!
[Waves]
Alrighty then.
(Also, you can call me Cas)
Welcome back, Elleni.
Hello.
...
What is your name, by the way? You never mentioned.
*She looks at the doctor, frowning* So, there is nothing I can do? About my name?
*He shakes his head* I'm sorry, Rose. Not now...
*She hangs her head and nods* Yeah, I knew this was going to happen one day. Just a matter of time... *She nodded and stood up, brushing off her shirt* Thanks.
*He nods in return* Be safe.
*She begins to mutter to herself in Russian*
Если Локи понял мои полномочия, мир заканчивается. Я больше не будут иметь возможность быть героем, быть храбрым. Как бы я быть в состоянии жить с собой после того, как что-то вроде этого?
about to do something i regret and upload a video of myself singing to youtube. eeeep
Remember to tell us the URL on YouTube.
Because I wanna see that!
Hi *winces*
*She rubs her bare arms, frowning. The computer in front of her, full of legends of Norse gods and their weaknesses and strengths lead her to nothing. The only thing close to stopping Loki, it seemed, was Odin. He could take, or at least diminish Loki's power to stop him from hurting humans... But did sorcerers come under the title of 'human'? She didn't know. She didn't want to find out either.
She stood up and shut the computer off. It was only a matter of time before Loli returned, only a matter of time before she was forced to act against her own will...*
hi Death
So I can't upload it tonight
*relived sigh*
Ive g2g and iron...
byii
((Death, are you still here?))
(I am now!))
(*Loki
Whoops...))
((I may suddenly disappear.))
*appears behind Death* I understand Loki has taken power over you.
*She jerks away, her body tensing* Woah! Say something before you seak up on people! *Her voice turns quiet* Yes ... You would believe correctly.
(That's okay, Alastair/Ari!))
Hello anyone and everyone who is online!
*sneak
(Hey Choine!))
((Hey Death, Ari, how are you both?))
(I'm great thanks! Last day of school tomorrow for three weeks!! Yay!! How are you, Choine?))
((I'm bored. Sitting in my classroom, everyone is playing games or on youtube cause this is our second last day. But other than that, i'm perfectly well, thank you for asking.))
