Armageddon Outta Here Is, Um, Here

Ha!

I cannot BELIEVE they've let me use that title!

Ladies and gentlemen, the collection I've been promising you, the book that scoops up all those little short stories and provides you with some brand new ones, has been unleashed. There won't be a Spoiler Zone post because it's not one of the "book" books, but even so, try to limit the amount you give away about the endings.

Of the new stories included, I'm finding it hard to pick a favourite. The Horror Writers' Halloween Ball is the most out-and-out comedy of the lot, but Across A Dark Plain is a WESTERN, for god's sake, and it was SO much fun changing my writing style slightly to convey that mood.

But I think Get Thee Behind Me, Bubba Moon is probably my favourite. Much like The End of the World (which is also collected here), it's told from the point of view of an outsider, in this case a middle-aged American man. I didn't mean it to be quite so long, but it grew from a short story to a novella before I knew what was happening. The tone of this one is different, too — until a certain pair of intrepid detectives wander in with their bickering and their jokes...

Anyway, I hope you like it. I hope you ALSO like the sample chapter from The Dying of the Light. It is VERY well written, if I do say so myself.

Oh, and speaking of TDOTL, tomorrow I shall be revealing an awesomely cool limited edition alternative cover.

And it ROCKS.

Chocolate?

Dugglyn and Jubi seriously need to meet.

Or perhaps not. Perhaps the world isn't ready for so much awesome craziness.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *watches the rain* Thor knows.

Zafira: *works on the sigils to revive Loki*

Ravel: *goes over to Zanida, trying to calm the hysterical goddess* Hey she'll bring Loki back, calm down.

Zanida: My brother died and I was powerless to stop it.

Ravel: There are things we cannot fight, Zanida.

Zafira: *pours energy into her sigils, and works to revive Loki*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((*sighs* And her assumption , then, would be that I'll bring Niccolò back if I find Adra dead? Honestly.
The only person I have ever cared about.
And she hasn't done anything to wrong anyone else.
...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*several agonizing minutes tick by, but Zafira's ring confirms Loki is alive*

Zafira: Stay with him, Zanida. He had his soul played with, he'll probably be out for a few hours. *goes with Ravel, letting Zanida be alone*

Zanida: *sits by her brother, still in shock* Loki you idiot. *after a few minutes looks out the window* Heimdall, you can't see it, but Loki is alive. Tell Thor he is flooding Midgard.

*a few minutes later the rain stops*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Zaf assumed that if Loki managed to beat you he'd control you and force you to bring back Nic.-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Alastair- I'm barely awake, if you're on tomorrow I will say you ought to be warned Zanida and Thor will be after you. You pissed off two gods and Zaf may join them. -Zaffy

((Imma sleep good night

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Not really here but firstly

Hear hear to the dedication!
Silente takes offence from that Dugglyn. Her feelings are hurt. ;P

El I will be on after school (6 hours or something. Possibly 7) To finish the rp. I honestly have no idea how its going to end but Silente is deliberating over a dangerous tactic.

Anyway now I leave so good bye.

*shadows begin to knot together to form its body*

Unnecessaryyyyy violenceeeee... So... Primitiveeeeee...

Dragona Pine said...

(Elleni - this is an image of what Leri would look like:

http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120415184004/masseffect/images/0/0c/Quarian_MP.png


And her shotgun...

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120715111128/masseffect/de/images/6/60/ME3_Reegar_Carbine.png

Her combat drone (orange, not blue, btw)

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120314143833/masseffect/images/2/2a/ME3_Glyph_Normandy.png

And then for her powers... Essentially, the explosive plasma round would just be a fire cube fired from the holographic computer on her arm. Then the supercooled subatomic particles would be similar but icy rather than fiery. I don't know if you need half of these but yeah. :P Just in case.)

Dragona Pine said...

(The dark shadow is... Well, no one knows. It's basically a shadow creature. It feeds from fear and death and other things, but it can feed off other energies too.
It claims to be the embodiment of death, but it is unclear whether it's true or not. In any case, it should be feared.)

Dragona Pine said...

(Yep, I did. It featured in a few of my SP fanfics.)

Dragona Pine said...

*senses Elleni, and materialises in a shadow close to her*

*flits in front of her eyes and screams, extending its jaw so much it could potentially swallow her head, showing its long fangs in the process*

Dragona Pine said...

(I don't think so. I think he stopped controlling you when he left.)

Dragona Pine said...

(He said: James: I think I'll leave you to the shadow...
*throws them the thing to fix Elleni*

So I assume you're out of his control now.)

Dragona Pine said...

Helllllll? I can do thatttttttt...


You're... Luckyyyyyy... Your powerrrrrr... Wouldn't lasssttttt longggggg... You're not worthhhhh... Killinggggggg...

The godssssss will be my snacksssssss... Then humanssssss... A side dishhhhhhhh...

Dragona Pine said...

*shadows fragment, splitting into pieces not even an atom's width across, so the air passes through, then it reforms at the other side*


Youuuu... By yourselfffff... Not worth killinggggg, hmmmm? Humanssssss need to be slaughtereddddddd in largerrrrrr numberssssss...

Loki'ssssss cubeeeee... Now that'sssssssss a meallllll... I shall killllllll him and take ittttt...

Dragona Pine said...

(Well, you need to find one of its weaknesses and kill it before it can adapt to become immune to it.
That will destroy its body - it will still exist but it could be anything up to a few years before it returns.)

Dragona Pine said...

(Or, you know, you could get the death bringer to kill a load of people so the shadow will be given infinite power from all that death then feeding will be irrelevant.)

Dragona Pine said...

(Seems I have to go. Bye!)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

HERROW? ARE THERE ANY MORTALS HERE?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Not really.-Zaffy

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Elleni- Loki is my profile picture so look up pictures of whatever you need, and if you're unsure just email me.

Zanida I can explain her appearence but you're best off looking up the clothes Loki has, because Zanida's armor is not typical. Hers would be similar to Loki's battle armor, but her armor is red and orange like a flame until you get to the cape which is black. She very rarely wears a helmet so I won't include that. Her eyes are light blue, and her hair is light brown with natural blonde highlights. Her weapon is a lance and she often sets the pointy part on fire in battle. If she's really annoyed she'll form an ice shard in her left hand and stab people with it.

-Zaffy

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Oh and if Loki or Zanida have the Tesseract, or Zanida has formed any ice in her hand, their skin turns a dark blue color and their eyes red, basically if you want details google Laufey from Thor, he's their father. -Zaf

Jophiel said...

(Imagine Tom Hiddleston as Serpine.)

Jophiel said...

(Oh. I was under the impression that I was still Dreaming in Silver. But alas, it seems as though it has switched my preferences. I guess Silver will not be returned, now that her cover is blown.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Silver was you? *didn't realize* And omg Rose....YES-Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: *walks into where the Asgardians are* Hey there.

Zanida: Hello.

Zafira: Has he woken at all?

Zanida: No, but his breathing is steady.

Zafira: Good. Did you sleep?

Zanida: No, I couldn't fall asleep.

Zafira: Sleep, Loki will be fine.

Zanida: I'll be alright.

Christopher: *runs in* Momma Momma Olivia just tried to set the cat on fire!

Zafira: Did you tell Daddy?

Christopher: Daddy stopped her. Who are those two?

Zafira: Loki Laufeyson and Zanida Laufeydottir, they are brother and sister. *smiles at Zanida* This is Christopher, he's my youngest.

Christopher: I turned 7 a few weeks ago!

Zanida: Very nice to meet you, Christopher.

Chrisopher: *runs off chasing Olivia*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Sorry about that.

Zanida: How many children do you have?

Zafira: Four. Aro, Alexis, Olivia, and Christopher. Alexis and Aro are Sensitives, Olivia is trying to work on energy throwing, but she has a better knack for Necromancy, and Christopher just knows how to make a flame in his hand, he's still too little to really know what he wants to do.

Zanida: You guys can choose?

Zafira: Yup. I'm a Necromancer, but I know my true name so I can replicate magic I see or experience.

Zanida: Oh. So how could you tell Loki was dead?

Zafira: *shows her the necklace* Necromancers have an object they store their power in, mine is my necklace. When I'm around death it goes extremely cold and my heart races, my necklace is excited.

Zanida: So you knew...

Zafira: Yes. I also will say, Loki did not have a prayer. Alastair will find a way to kill you if you are on that list. I have no doubt he would have stolen Loki's true name if it came down to it.

Zanida: Would Loki be revivable?

Zafira: Aretha was brought back, I mean I guess he would be. God knows what Loki would feel, being some part of him would be with the names.

Zanida: Is that bad?

Zafira: Yeah it is, Alastair took me captive a year ago roughly, and I was trapped with the names, that's my fear. It was terrifying, you're like the eyes the ears, but you can't move. The names scream, I had 40 something I can only imagine what 50 would be like. Its horrid. I'm close to one of the names, John Smith, we went to the Christmas Eve Ball together.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: I do not believe Loki ever intended to actually die.

Zafira: He didn't have a prayer, Zanida.

Zanida: I know, but I just cannot understand how Loki was killed by a mere Midgardian!

Zafira: Alastair is a sick and cruel person, he killed a god and if he killed one, who is to say he won't kill or torture one of us next?

*wakes up* Zanida?

Zanida: I'm here.

Did he really kill me?

Zanida: Yeah, but I think Thor may be slightly upset. It's been thundering like mad, and I do not doubt Thor is debating on coming down here and killing Alastair himself.

I'd like to see that.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Okay @El
Firstly YES you are under James control still, you didn't have the operation to fix you yet.
James looks to be around 18/19. He has shaggy red hair that sweeps to the left for a fringe. His eyes are a rather dark shade of blue, almost black. He has quite high cheek bones and a face that over time has become harsh. He's skinny and around 6 ft 4. He's slightly muscular but not in the body builder sense. He wears shirts and jeans slung low on his waist. And occasionally a grey hoddie.
Silente is skinny and about 4 ft 9. Maybe 5 ft. She has straight silver hair flowing to her lower back. She wears tight clothes. She has daggers EVERYWHERE. Over her chest, along her waist, down her legs, a few on her upper arm and a small one on each wrist along with two swords on her back and a dagger between her shoulder blades. With her sigils lit up she has high cheek bones and blue eyes with a gold ring around the pupil and flecks of gold in the iris surrounded by a dark blue thin outer circle. Despite her age she IS a tad developed chest wise but not overly so.
If you need any more description ask.)

For the sake of FUN)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Zanida. We ought to go and help Silente.

Zanida: Loki...

Go sister, take my sceptre.

*Zafira and Zanida go to Silente*

Zafira: *traps El in a ball of shadows*

(I'm tempted to come on as a different person and beat you all to oblivion with my pretence. :P)

Dragona Pine said...

*shadows knot together to form its body*

Star Inkbright said...

@El: Thanks. D: I'll need it. :P

Eve the ROCK said...

STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


Hiiiiiii!

I have spoken to you in so long, and I'm really sorry, there have been

(ISSUES!)

But I think I'll be hanging out in Blogland and yeah you can call me Eve xD

Star Inkbright said...

*not that I necessarily would, of course

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hi Silente!

Hi Elleni. :-)

Hello Star. :-)

Hello Mahogany!

Hey Zaf!

Hey anyone else! :-)

Star Inkbright said...

@Eve: HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Issues are issue-y. -_- Cool word though. Issues. :)

Well, cool! :)

I haven't been in Blogland much recently . . . because I . . .

It's weird actually. I haven't been busy, but I feel like I have because I haven't been doing anything. I mean, I haven't been doing school stuff or off-school stuff or being here, so I have no idea where my time has gone. O_O

THREE MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT THOUGH C:

Eve the ROCK said...

*huggles Zaffy back and forces Star to join the huggle because STAR*

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Lantern. :) :)

I also think I should apologise for how awful I am at remembering to say hi to people. If I ignore you, it's me, not you. :P

Star Inkbright said...

Huggle! :) That's a cool word!

@Elleni: Yeah, thatssa good question . . .

Dragona Pine said...

(I seriously dislike Microsoft. They want me to verify my account or something which I've had for AGES by wanting to send a code to me by another email...

Why? Why would I have 2 email addresses? Why do they need to do that?

So I've had to make ANOTHER email address to verify my CURRENT email address when I won't even use the account, just so I can get a code to verify my account.
But still nooooo that would be too easy. To make another email account I have to VERIFY the email account through ANOTHER email account. So I've had to verify the email account I've made to verify my current email account using my current email account. And then the screen that appeared won't come up anymore so I have to wait until tomorrow!)

Dragona Pine said...

(Leri shall return.)

Eve the ROCK said...

Hey all! (Sorry just excited to be with friendlings again)

Hehe Elleni I was a 2012 Bloglander so unless you are also a Batblogger then I don't think we've met. XD


Wait a minute.....


FABI!!!!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*backs up*
I won't hurt you El.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((We shadow-walked inside))

Zanida: Hello, Eleni. Time to give up.

Dragona Pine said...

*appears from a shadow near Elleni, and flits in front of her*


*extends its jaw more than humanly possible, as if it could possibly swallow her head, showing long fangs, and screams*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*dodges and makes sure not to go near Zan*
*keeps running, waiting for Elleni to stop with the flames before she reaches Zan*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: *forms an air bubble around Zanida* Try again.

Zanida: *fires the sceptre at El*

Eve the ROCK said...

I getchu, Star. I have been sleeping for a week straight, where did that time go?? And... Im starting school again next week. DX

Dragona Pine said...

*absorbs the energy from the sceptre*

Mmm...


*flits towards Zanida, and screams at her instead*

Eve the ROCK said...

Batblogger as in batman as in I have a disguise but it's totally easy to figure out xD Eh

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*grabs her knife wrist and throws El out of the way of the scepters blast, rolling away from it with El*
Don't hurt her!

Star Inkbright said...

@Eve: Woah. O_O I break up for summer next week. :P

(Yup, breaking into my disappearing act now . . .)

I have been the longest consistent Blogland from this time period backwards.
*bows proudly*

Been on almost every day for over two years. C:

Star Inkbright said...

*Bloglandian

Oops. :P

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Hi!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*chokes slightly*
*forcefully removes El's fingers, careful not to break tgem*
*takes a deep breath and backs away from El*

Eve the ROCK said...

Oh, riiiight, you Northerny people have summer to look forward to... XD Meanwhile Eve lives in fear of her birds freezing to death

Dragona Pine said...

*shadows knot together next to Silente and Elleni and a second Dark Shadow steps out*

*2nd Shadow throws a wave of darkness at them both*

Eve the ROCK said...

I noticed Star! You hold the record, hands down.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*doesn't resist*
El.......don't.....

Eve the ROCK said...

Hehehehe fabifabifabifabifabifabi

*forgets to have secret identity*

Star Inkbright said...

@Eve: Yay! :)

And - yeah.
Summer is too hot, I think. :(

Dragona Pine said...

(If you're wondering about the wave of darkness, Elleni - all it'll do is knock you back if it hits. But then the shadows may stick to you and slow you down.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*sees the shadow*
No!
*dives forwards throwing El onto her back and away from the wave*
*cries out as it hits and breaks her leg, sending her spinning away slightly*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *staggers, and sends streams of fire at El*

Zafira: *sends shadows to wrap around El*

Dragona Pine said...

*absorbs the fire and the shadows*


Cleverrrrr... using shadowsssss in the presenceeee of someone who can controlllll themmmmmm...

Dragona Pine said...

*2nd shadow becomes a black cloud of smoke which blocks the vision of both Elleni and Silente*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Star, you're a COOL person/bubble. :-)

It's been 90F all week. -_-

[Summer isn't my favorite season because I have pretty low heat tolerance]

Eve the ROCK said...

...
*worries about birds catching fire in summer*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(She won't let you get hurt.)

*screams out and yanks her leg out from under Elleni's foot*
*stumbles up, limping backwards*

Dragona Pine said...

*the smoke slowly thickens and slams into the ground, causing burning hot shadows to be splashed everywhere*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Secret identity...

I like secret identities. One moment.

Star Inkbright said...

@Lantern: *nods*
I don't do Fahrenheit, but even I know that that's hot . . . O_O Not fun. -_-
I have a really low cold tolerance. Seriously, you know how it's summer? I was still crossing my arms shivering in Games today even though it's t-shirt weather and everyone else was fine. -_- I have AWFUL cold tolerance. My heat tolerance is okayish. I just don't particularly enjoy roasting to death.
We're going to Italy this year and I have NO IDEA WHY. It will be TOO hot.
My sister's just like YAAAAY WE CAN EAT PIZZA AND PASTA! and I'm just like "We can do that here . . ."
:P

@Lantern: *hugs* All bubbles are cool. But you're much cooler than even me. :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Eve doesn't get sunburn
EVE IS INVINCIBLE
EVE WAS BUILT FOR THE HEAT

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*eyes widen and she starts choking*
*blinks against the smoke looking for El*
*dives forwards from her good leg, throwing El back and momentarily cutting off her magic*
*takes in deep breath after deep breath*

Star Inkbright said...

@Eve: IF EVE SAYS SO. :)

BUBBLES ARE BUILT FOR BUBBLY THINGS. -_-

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*cries out as the shadows hit her*

Eve the ROCK said...

*waits for Fabi's secret identity*

Dragona Pine said...

*the shadows start wrapping around Elleni, getting tighter and tighter*



(Elleni, is it possible, just to confuse things even further, that The Dark Shadow could control your character?)

Eve the ROCK said...

BUBBLES WERE BUILT FOR FUN AND JOY

AND OCCASSIONALLY SEARING PAIN IN YOUR EYES

BUT NOT IF IT'S A NICE BUBBLE

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Dragona could it do that? Dead things aren't mean to be possessable...)

*grunts and grabs El's wrists*
*rolls over wincing at the pain in her leg and pins El*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Screeches]

Dragona Pine said...

(Well, your character is currently undead, right? The shadow can manipulate the undead. Well, apart from vampires, but yeah.
Assuming that it sent shadows into your brain... *shrugs*)

Eve the ROCK said...

Monkey!!!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Pinned under Silente and being wrapped in shadows. Silente didn't notice the shadows)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[This monkey is being so annoyingly loud, clanging its symbols and screeching*

[Maybe it would quiet down if you told it...a secret! That's it!]

[If you whispered into the monkey's ear...]

Eve the ROCK said...

It's here because of all the bananas!!

*wields blade of authority*

What are your intentions with my produce?

Dragona Pine said...

*the shadows swirl and vanish*

(Just to make things less confusing. :P)

Eve the ROCK said...

Huh? A secret?


Um.


*hovers around the monkey's ear*

I... Don't have long hair?

*walks out from near the forest and looks around* *draws shotgun and points it at Elleni*


Sorry I was... ill... Elleni, please just stop...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*yelps, landing on her broken leg*
*spots Leri*
Don't shoot god damn it!
*limps closer to El, prepared to take the shot*

Dragona Pine said...

(Wait, didn't James stop controlling your character, Elleni?)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

MONKEYCHOW!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(No. James simply gave you something with which to fix her via operation. However no one picked it up so he returned and took it back. Until El has the operation she is under his control.)

Star Inkbright said...

@Elleni: Idk. If everyone was dead there would be no fear left. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*growls and throws El over her shoulder in hopes of dislodging the choke hold*

Eve the ROCK said...

I dedicate this page to that monkey who seems to have settled down a bit and no longer wants to know my darkest secrets! *points and winks at new monkey*

And to my old Bloggy friends, and to my new Bloggy acquaintances!

And ESPECIALLY to Staravia, partly because she blew my cover, but mostly because she's THE MOST FANTASTICAL INKY OCTOPUS GIRL/BUBBLE TO WALK THIS WORLD!

Or rather, float...

Eve the ROCK said...

Wait, do we still do dedications? Hahahaha


Eve the ROCK said...

It was FABI! *kicks monkey in disgust*

Zafira: Come on. I don't even see the point fighting Elleni, she's undead.

Star Inkbright said...

OH YES I'M AN INKY OCTOPUS GIRL I FORGOT ABOUT THAT O_O

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

We still do. :) Although I mostly just procrastinate mine . . . :P

Noooooo! Don't kick Fabu!!! :(

Eve the ROCK said...

Yay!!! *claps for the existence of dedications and whoever started it all*

Star Inkbright said...

Eve - Adra says hi, btw. :) She can't come on much anymore, but - yeah.

*stumbles forwards, ignoring her useless leg*
*hits the bubble of air around Elleni*
*panics*

Dragona Pine said...

*her computer ionises the air and then fires a bolt of electricity towards Elleni*

Eve the ROCK said...

AHAHA
So I guess when I planted that banana tree for 'octopus', it really couldn't been anyone... *shifty eyes*

*rages at monkey* SHE TRIED TO EXPOSE MY SECRETS TO THE WORLD! *unneccesary capitals*

Dragona Pine said...

*then fires an electrified net from her computer*

Star Inkbright said...

The creation of dedications was before my time . . . :P

@people with names beginning with Z: What kind of attitude is that?
You should never give up on people. It's one of the worst things you can do. How would you like it if someone gave up on you? What's important is the hand who reaches out to you in failure, not the millions of hands who come together for your success. Don't you want to be that hand, the one who's more important and worth more than anyone else? Or do you want to be superficial like them?
(Ahem . . . you can tell I'm currently composing a persuasive speech. :P)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*takes a deep breath in*
Don't hurt her Leri!
*stares at El*
*taps the sigils on her collar bones and takes to the skies*

Eve the ROCK said...

Haha, I did see Adra before! She escaped just before I could hug her. Send her my hugs, please. :)

Star Inkbright said...

Hugs sent. :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks down at Elleni burning the net*
*flies up faster*

Dragona Pine said...

I'm trying not to hurt her. I'm doing my best.



*fires another net*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: I'm kind of sick of people running to save her. I didn't see anyone try to help me when I was under Loki's control until weeks later.

Zanida: Plus I kind of want the vampire dead.

Eve the ROCK said...

Uh-huh....

*frowns* Star, do any of our regulars come on here anymore? I haven't spotted them in my occasional stalkings...

Eve the ROCK said...

Thank you, Star. :)

*stares monkey down with burning anger*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Gee thanks Zan and Zaf.)

*flies faster looking over her shoulder at El*
*looks around for James as she flies*

Dragona Pine said...

*quickly taps into the mobile network and sends Silente a message telling her to fly back down*


*sends a high explosive plasma round at Elleni*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*easily manoeuvres around the flames*
*whispers quietly*
Forgive me...
*turns and flies right into El, directing them both downwards at high speed*

Star Inkbright said...

@Eve: How many people do you know . . . ?

I never see Nix. :( I've seen him like once this year.
Sir is still here.
Luciana is still here.
Ummm . . .
Zath and Sparky come on occasionally. Not very often.
Um . . .
Lynxia, I see about as often as Nix. :(
Ummmmmmmmmmmm . . .
*memory struggling*
Death's here.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .
Lav isn't. :(
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

@people with Z names who I keep getting mixed up argh: Treat others as you would wish to be treated. Silente rushes to save people, so people rush to save her. You're not rushing to save her now - is it any wonder that people did not rush to save you?
Well, Zaf, then you're a coldhearted person. Once someone is dead, they are dead forever. They are never coming back. Ever. All that they are, all that they could have been, all the good they could have done, all the love they could have shared and created, all the lives they could have influenced and the memories they could have made . . . gone. And you will never have another like her ever again.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*keeps her arms wrapped around Elleni*
*she plans to knock them both out*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: You guys are morons, you can't win against her.

Zafira: *shakes head* They can waste time. *shadow-walks behind El and whacks her with a shovel*

Dragona Pine said...

*searches her computer for something useful to use*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Zaf can fly...she's seen it done before you lot doubt her-Zaf))

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Blinks back innocently, wondering if Mahogany has any more secrets]

[Or money]

[Secrets or money...]

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*screams but keep her grip tight screaming at the flames*
*smiles slightly as the ground flies up to greet them both*
*hard enough to easily knock them both out...and possibly break a few bones*

(okay quick El recovers faster than Silente)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Heh....Loki shirtless pic I get a text of...*may or may not be dead*_Zaf

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zanida: *goes over to the two crashed* Ooh cool. Can we possibly bind them?

Zafira: No.

Dragona Pine said...

*sees them hit the floor, immediately rushes over and fires an electrified net at Elleni, then points shotgun a few centimetres away from her head*

Eve the ROCK said...

*sigh* I miss them. We were like 'the gang', remember? I really thought we'd all stay regulars until the end. Remember when we were wondering what would happen to Blogland once it's all over? That time is so near, and I still don't have a clue. Haha.

But I'm so glad to be back. I don't know how long I'll be hanging here, since school is starting up again soon, but I'll try to check in aoap. :)
Also, it's great to have new faces here so I can give a better impression. ;)

Seeya, guys! And Fabi, *scruffles hair* xD

Dragona Pine said...

(Is Blogland nearly over? :S)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Blogland will NEVER be over. Derek will still blog after the series. He wouldnt dare stop.)

(Why wouldn't he write more posts? This is Derek's blog, not a Skulduggery blog. Yes, he blogs about Skulduggery a lot of the time because that's his current project, but there will be something after.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Just because TDOTL is coming out, it doesn't mean its over. Derek is going to still Blog, he's too attached to not. Plus, he'll need somewhere to update the world on tours ect, and not all Minions have Twitter.-Zaf

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*is splayed on the ground one arm limp on Elleni's back*
*the trapped under Elleni, wrist and arm broken*
*unconscious*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Claps cymbals in a goodbye]

((It was nice seeing you again, Eve!))

Dragona Pine said...

*pushes Elleni off Silente and applies a medical gel to Silente's wounds*



(Uh, does this mean like Leri has to do the surgery now or not? Because Leri wouldn't be able to do it...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Zan can't either and Zaf shouldn't be trusted to.-Zaf))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Not surgery. Just inject her with the random vial of white liquid (yes I know that doesn't sound good) and leave it in her vein for a bit. It'll restart her heart and clear James control. It's laying around somewhere)

Dragona Pine said...

*sees the vial of white liquid and runs towards it* *picks it up, and runs back to Elleni and injects her with it*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: I can heal people.

Zanida: *goes back to Loki*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*groans and shifts slightly*
*wakes up*
Did it work?

Dragona Pine said...

*then fires another electrified net at Elleni*

Dragona Pine said...

I... I don't know...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

El!
*smiles at her*
It worked!
*sits up cradeling her arm and resting her leg*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Oh oh I know this! They are extremely extremely delicious and you are very very something you love them?)

You don't remember?
*frowns*

Dragona Pine said...

*removes the net from Elleni*


Sorry... I upgraded my computer...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh ..
*hesitates*
We found you here...we thought you were dead....

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(hey Viv)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Nothing. Well except for the klutz firing a net at you.

Star Inkbright said...

*JE LES ADORE

That wasn't a French error. That was an brain miscommunication error. :P

@Silente: Yes. They are extremely extremely delicious and I am very very happy I love them. :)
Stroopwaffles. :) They're the best.

Dragona Pine said...

*frowns, but not that anyone can see because of the helmet*

... What does klutz mean?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*shrugs with one shoulder*
Guess he left. I never saw him.
*looks at her broken leg*
*glares at it*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Your iPod is skilled at leaving at bad times.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I...uh...
*thinks of the wave of darkness that broke her leg*
...fell.

Dragona Pine said...

What is a klutz?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Yeah...fell. That's what broke my arm and my wrist too. Clumsy Silente.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

A klutz is like a clumsy sorta person thing..

Dragona Pine said...

I'm not clumsy... I meant to hit Elleni with the net...


*is dragged out of earshot*

*shrugs* It's... complicated...

I'm not a hundred percent sure what happened... I think James was controlling you, or something? I've been ill so... don't ask me...
*coughs a little*
Damn... need more immune system boosters...
Silente flew up and you flew after her and then she made you both collide and then you fell...

Noelle said...

*Runs from a portal in the nondescript place, her hair wet and matted down from sweat* *Drops her Philosopher's Stone around Alastair's neck as she collapses by his side* *Crawls slowly to him, her fingers playing in his hair*

*She kisses him, fingers tracing the contours of his face*

*Briefly, she takes his hand and lets it settle over her heart, before she kisses his fingers*

*Pulls away, and through the portal again she goes, disappearing*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*mutters to herself about lying*
*looks at her leg, arm and wrist*
*lays back*
*she has a throbbing headache*

Dragona Pine said...

Ow... *tries to pull away from Elleni's grip*

... He was controlling you? I think... you were trying to kill Silente...

(As in you hate it and it loves to hate you?)
