I'm watching you scramble, all confused. "But this one is HARD!" "But where do we even START?"
You make me laugh. Call yourselves sorcerers when you can't even identify six of the most well-known magical alphabets in the world?
Time is a-ticking, and skulduggery@harpercollins.co.uk are awaiting your responses EVER so anxiously.
I've decided that if you can't figure out where I am in the next three days, I'm going to kill one of you. Because I know who you are.
And I'm watching.

(how are you Chi?)
Are you related to skulduggery pleasant? Hehe
@Izz: I didn't get that, sorry. :/
My answer's somewhere in my room...
*searches for it*
(I probably got it wrong anyway)
Izz I agree with the last letters spelling 2 but there are only 3 other symbols so the number can only be 1 2 or 6
I'll let her explain, Mal. *looks over at Silente, anticipating what's coming next*
Nope. I've never met him although i presume if I met his assisstant while she was in her right mind I would be attacked.
Vampire?
*smiles, slowly circling*
*purrs out*
Cleverrrrrr..
I'm curious as to what happens after someone finds the third clue
*looks at her warily*
@Mal: *deadpan* They instantly become a packet of Lucky Charms.
I'm just kidding, I don't know either. :P
Is it night or day time where you are?
*the smile slowly grows, showing of sharp teeth*
*her circling is bringing her closer and closer*
*her twelve year olds eyes are sparkling with anticipation*
What troubles me about 2 is that pig pen code isn't all that magical...
Nine made sense to me when I got an n and an i as the first two (celestial and pictish) I couldn't work out the third symbol but I've noticed some symbols represent two or more letters. That's why I ended up with nine.
(morning. 11 14 or something.)
@emerald well if nadir is giving out these clues who knows where they could lead
Oh, I'm good. Kinda.
How are you Sil?
Hello Malachite, Emerald.
@silente *steps back cautiously trying to get some distance*
@Mal: True. :)
And please, call me Fay/Phoe/any variation of the two. It's faster to type.
(Kinda? What does kinda mean? You got the Blakey Blues?)
Ok
(So... I'm going to take a shower. Because I probably won't get one tomorrow. It shall be a really long shower. Really nice warm shower...
Toodles!!)
Brb
Bye, Death!
*keeps circling and coming closer*
*blurs suddenly, standing directly behind Mal, one hand on the side of her head, one on her shoulder*
*laughs*
Boo.
@izz Hmmm I suppose you have a point with 9.. And pigpen isn't all that magical but it's the only thing I could find so it'll have to do.
(we found the last one as an X. NIX.)
(Thats badly phrased. We got NIX TWO)
Yep. In any case I guess we just have to wait and see!
(NIXON STRANGE PERHAPS?!?!
Nix... I hope he's okay... I haven't heard from him in a while...))
Bbl, I hope...
*poofs*
Yeah Silente, I'm a bit depressed.
*jumps away quickly spinning around stepping back*
Haha very funny now um we have only just met and all but i dont feel like becoming main course so lets calm down *straightens up pulling herself together*
Nix could be zero? Someone said that ealier
(*hugs Chi* I'm sorry. I hope you cheer up...)
*laughs, stalking towards her*
Main Course? Please. More like a starter.
*narrows eyes slightly* now now lets not get a head of ourselves
Not all meals are helpless
*smiles raising an eyebrow*
Just hold still. It won't hurt...well it will but when you're dead it won't hurt anymore.
*blurs forwards, knocking her to her back, kneeling on her chest*
Shhh..
Helloooooooooooooooooo!
(heeeey)
*struggles but can't move under her strength* now now *fingers slide out a blade from her jacket * how about we dont kill each other?
*smiles down at her*
I would happily hurt someone I just met..especially when in quite so thirsty...
*eyes shimmering*
Stay still...
*whips blade up swiping along her wrist*
I'm watching Rizzoli and Isles, so I shall be distant xx
*laughs at it goes through the bandage on her wrist, joining the self inflicted cuts*
Yep. You'll do fine.
*gets up*
Welcome to blogland.
*trying to fix the bandage and hide what she's done to herself countless times*
You'll get used to the crazies.
Sorry my post come late cause i have to refresh to see new commenst
Thanks i guess i'll be right at home
(that's fine. It happens.)
(Rizzoli and isles is amazing Luce)
*smiles, still struggling to organise the bandage*
Damn. If el or dug see they'll kill me...
(by any chance is it an anime series/film?)
*hands over new bandages* don't ask where I got them from *smiles before picking up her fallen back pack*
I met Nix once. At a book signing in Melbourne.
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy today. I think it's my favourite Marvel movie yet.
Thanks. I won't ask.
*removes the old bandage, revealing lots of ugly gashes, none of which are scars, all are recent*
*applies a new one quickly*
Sorry bout that. Standard procedure.
There's that Silente I know, first time Veronica (an old me) met Silente, she was punched in the face.
CHI I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
What! You've seen guardians of the galaxy!!! Come one it doesn't come out till the seventh over here!
No problem glad to help. I wont even ask about the arm
She was punched in the face. Then I said I didn't like her shoes and she threw them away and made me feel bad. Then I set off a glitter bomb. Good times.
Good times indeed.
I know! We got a couple of advanced screenings and I ended up in a massive argument with one of my friends because we couldn't decide if we should see Lucy or Guardians.
I'm so glad I got to see it though. It was hilarious.
Thanks. Anyway,
*holds out a hand*
Nice to meet you. Silente Tempest, Rogue vampire, Master sigils, generally accident prone. And you are?
Malachite Burada rogue necromancer don't care about their beliefs, also accident prone and very handy with a blade nice to meet you *shakes hand*
*smiles*
Another dagger girl! Finally. I'm not the only one.
*nods*
Oh also, forgot one more thing about me, I'm a secretive person. So don't be surprised if you wake up with a knife in your back.
*grins and let's her hand go*
(Best. Shower. Ever.
I don't think I've ever been so clean in my entire life!!))
(Yey death is CLEAN!)
Well at least I'm not alone either *returns a smiles devious*
Sorry bad grammar
So many smiles. Yay!
You'll fit in well here. Just know, don't cross me.
*smiles*
It wouldn't be smart.
Well you seem like a cheery person and who would you be?
(I feel so light!! And my feet hurt... So I feel alright altogether!!))
(Altogether?
Al to get her?
All together?
All to get her?
Hmm...?))
(What an odd word...)
*Forget the last one!)
I am Raven, Lord of the Daisy Chains, ruler of....not really, 'my Raven, plain old Raven.
Same goes both ways *spins a blade in her hand before slipping it away*
*I'm
Nice to meet you Raven
*doesn't bother showing off with knives*
*she doesn't need to show off just to get her point across*
*she knows she could have a dagger through the other persons throat before she could even blink*
*smiles*
I'm glad we understand eachother.
Hey Raven!
*plops down on floor in front of Malachite*
If you give me a minute, I'll get you someth.....
*words drift off as she begins to concentrate, threading one daisy after the other*
Meow meow!
Hey meow meow!
Hey guys this is my friend Heartfeather
WOOF WOOF NEW PERSON!
Hehe nice
Nice comeback
(Hi Heartfeather!! I like your friend, Heartfeather!! I think I'll like you too!!))
*finishes off the daisy anklet*
Here you go Malachite, it's a daisy anklet.
*looks over to Silente*
Am I correct in assuming you don't want a daisy chain?
*lifts her chin and walks towards Heartfeather looking her up and down*
Hello...
You are correct Raven. No chain for me please
Hey, I'm friends with Mal
Um thanks raven its ah beautiful *accepts it but slips it in her pocket*
I heard..
*circles her slowly*
Hmm..
*runs at HeartFeather tackling her to the ground*
Do you want a daisy chain?
*giggles and rolls of her*
I'm Raven. You are?
What's it like being a vampire, just curious
Oh and Sil about before that wasn't showing off showing off would be throwing a blade at your head that would narrowly miss you. No that was just a bad habit if me playing with knives *smiles* anyway heartfeather don't be rude introduce yourself!
*sighs*
What do you think its like?!
*shakes her head and focuses*
Its like being a vampire.
Good point
My names Heartfeather, I love playing with knives and sharp things. I can climb pretty well, I always climb lofts, it is so much fun. A daisy chain sounds cool, I've always wondered how people make those...
I dedicate this page to my Loki. Because he deserves a dedication as much as he deserves to rule. He deserves so much more than he has, but he has me so he can't be too upset (joking!). And because I love him. A lot. Or I love the idea of him. A lot. No, I actually love him, Loki, not the idea of being in love with him.
And to skiing tomorrow. I won't see any of you until Wednesday night...))
ssearch fof sigillum on images. hope this helps
Um...
Heartfeather. Intresting name.
Oh that reminds me. Raven, Heartfeather, Mal, please may you donate a drop of your blood? For a good reason, I've started taking samples so when people go missing they can be found.
* bounces around like a cat! wanting to play with something*
I hate needles. Run!
*sigh eyes following heart as she plodded along*
Um what are you doing heart?
NEEDLES NO WAY NO NO NO. NO
Are you sure thats the only reason?
* climbs wall! and sits up high out of reach*
I never said needles. It's necessary. You think I like needles?
*glares*
(Holy poop! Not the needles!! I can feel 'em!!!))
You said take blood when someone says that needles is the first thing i think. Vampire is the second thing i think
Yes that's the only reason. It's the easiest way to find people.
True how about I just nick my wrist no needles needed
Um, how about I prick my finger with claws, and Put it in a test tube for you?
If that's really the way you want to do it then fine. Whatever.
*pulls a dagger free from a hidden sheath*
Go for it.
*takes dagger and quickly without thinking slices a small cut* there
Sadly to say my good friends but, I must depart for the hideous thing called sleep.* bounces away into the night, disappearing into the shadows*
Meow meow!
Now what?
Either put it in an air tight vial or risk me eating it.
Vial thank you. Do you happen to have one handy I don't tend to carry one with me
*hands an empty one over silently*
*she wasn't lieing earlier about being thirsty*
*Quickly lets the blood drip in then closes it.*
Here * hands over the vial while shadows collect around her* i have to go * disappears with the shadows*
Bye all!!!
*sighs and relaxes*
*taps a sigil and smiles when a small dimension is opened*
*stores the vial in there, carefully, and closes the dimension*
Bye
(Toodles leaving peeps!)
Sorry, I poofed. Oops.
Umm....
*shuffles on feet*
Will it hurt? Giving you my blood and all?
(Bye Rose!)
Do you really expect these people to trust you to find them if anything happens to them, vampire?
I trust her, I'd trust you too. I reckon that if it really came down to it, everyone would try and help someone who really needed it.
I will not speak to you at all until Wednesday morning?! How am I supposed to survive that, Rose?
Hey Alastair. It's as good a plan as any. And if they don't trust me they don't have to give blood.
It might hurt a tad Raven. You don't have to do it if you don't want to. It's just so people can be found.
Ummm....I'll do it.
*looks around*
Do you have a needle of something?
*pulls an empty needle from her pocket and hands it over, giving it a new, clean, tip*
*also hands over alcohol wipes*
*fiddles with the needle*
Do you want to do it? I don't know where to put the pointy thing, I've never had to give my blood to a vampire before.
Uh..okay.
*gently grabs her arm and stretches it straight out*
*rubs and alcohol wipe over the crook of her elbow*
Ready?
HELLO
Yeah....I guess.
(Hullo Star!)
(Aw... You can tell me how dreary your life was without me then. I love you. You can live without me for a few days, Loki.)
*Rose's scream echoed thought Blogland, coming from the deep forest. It twisted into something gut-wrenching before slowly choking away into nothingness*
Okay..
*nods and expertly slides the needle into her vein*
*only draws a little bit of blood before removing the needle and putting cotton on her arm*
*removes the vial, opeing the same pocket dimension and storing the vial in there with the others*
(Sil, I just noticed that you still haven't tried my blood yet! Haha!)
Oh......it's like getting injected for vaccinations.
*pokes her own arm*
Does this mean I won't get sick?
You'd be foolish to trust me, Raven. I'd laugh as you lay dying.
Suppose they do trust you, vampire, and you decide yet again that you'll throw yourself off a cliff. Suppose no one is around to exhaust themselves pulling you away. And then suppose, perhaps a few days later, someone goes missing. You'd be useless. You find yourself racing towards the same cliff practically every other day. How can you expect yourself to save anyone if you're so focused on destroying yourself?
(yeah I haven't. Which, right now, isn't exactly good)
*jumps at the scream looking in the direction it came from*
Who was that?!
*appears by Rose, looking at her* Rose!!
I'm working on that Alastair. I don't run every day. Not anymore. I'm fixing it. Trying to anyway.
*hugs her alastair*
(Wow Alastair, what a lovely image for a child, a naive innocent bird child.)
You say that Alastair, you say you'd laugh, and you probably would, for a little while at least. But sooner or later you'll pull through, just like they all do, you'll realise that I'm just too nice a person to go.
*hugs Adra*
Or mine.))
@Raven: Um.
I really don't think so.
*The woman siren looked up at Loki, grinning at him*
I knew you'd fall for that. Steven. Now.
*A man appeared behind Loki and put a hand of his shoulder, teleporting him into a dark room*
Steven: You seriously believed that? You believed that recording was her? Ha!
*He teleported away*
*An image appeared in the room, hazy, a projection of a figure, tied with heavy chains around her legs and her arms tied behind her. Rose looked at Loki and tried to scream, but the gag muffled it*
Agreed, Star xD
Well Star, I'm choosing to stay positive, though I have no intent of dying anytime soon. For the time being, while he's slowly realising he wouldn't want to see a child die, I'll make daisy chains.
You're young, Raven. You weren't here this time last year when I stole the consciousness of a young girl- what was she, six years old? Perhaps seven?- and tortured her till she couldn't scream anymore. And once I grew bored of her, I killed her. I don't care how kind or optimistic you are- it only means, in the end, that you'll be more fun to break.
Leave her alone, she has done no wrong.
*frowns thinking about what he said*
Well, I'm sure you'll come around.
Olivia: *pokes Alastair* Alice is crazy! He'd probably torture me if he grew bored enough. Apparently he likes children, and I'm 8!
@Raven: *waits patiently for her opinion of Alastair to change* *knows there's nothing I can say that will convince her - she needs to work it out for herself*
*The siren appeared in the projection beside Rose, grinning*
No... But you have. You killed my brother. So I'll kill your lover.
*Rose tried to scramble away when the siren pulled out a knife. She tossed it, hitting Rose in the chest*
~~~~
*Rose screamed at the projection of Loki. He was hanging by a golden rope. His face was turning purple. She screamed again and tried everything to reach him*
Loki! Please! Fight!
*hugs Olivia*
*casually carries her a bit away from Alastair*
*stops hugging her*
(So, Loki is in one room looking at a projection of Rose being tortued.
Rose is in another room watching Loki being tortured.
Mental scaring.))
Keep telling yourself that, Raven. You may end up being the most entertaining person I've tortured in months.
Your tricks mean nothing to me, siren. Enough of this.
Olivia: *wanders back over by Alastair*
*runs to Olivia*
You want a daisy chain?
Alastair, don't go after Raven. Not Raven. She's bubbly. I realise that annoys you most of the time but still.
@Silente: I think he just wants her to have the crushing realisation that he isn't nice after all (or something . . . it's in thoughtspeak).
I think, were I a sadist, I would enjoy that kind of thing.
*sighs as Olivia wanders back*
Liv...
*follows her*
I WON AN AWARD FOR BEING BUBBLY ONCE
YES
I HAD A REPUTATION FOR BEING BUBBLY
THAT SLOOOOOOWLY TURNED INTO A REPUTATION FOR BEING A BUBBLE XD
Luci just started calling me a bubble one day idk.
It's okay Silente, why does everyone think he's going to hurt others.
*smiles*
I bet he's like a cookie, all hard and tough on the outside, warm on gooey in the centre.
Olivia: I wanna help Alastair torture people.
Now I'm hungry. Don't mention gooey cookies :3
*The siren looked at Loki curiously*
So you don't think I'll kill her? I can. Easily.
*The siren grined at him before leaning down, twisting the dagger against Rose's ribs, making her scream louder. Then she sliced the blade across her throat, blood flying out of her neck. She stared at Loki, her eyes wide, scared... And dead*
~~~~~
*Rose stared at Loki's hanging corpse in shock. He couldn't be dead. He wasn't dead. There was no way...*
Loki...? Loki!
*She pulled free of the restraints holding her back and crawled towards the projection, sobbing*
*laughs at what Raven said*
Think again. He's more like...well like Alastair.
(Hey Star! Hey Dragona!)
(Sorry Lucian, it was that or toasted marshmallows)
Olivia darling why would you want that.
(Oh why hello Dragona.)
*Hugs Alastair again and kisses his nose*
*Fades away*
(Hi/bye Adra!)
(hey Dragona)
Pathetic. I'm the god of mischeif, they say, your illusions mean nothing to me. *focuses on Rose, making a projection of himself beside her* Rose, I am alive, the sirens are showing you your fears. They're weak beings.
@Raven: He is. But not to anyone who isn't Adra. :/
Hey dragona (we've never met but you like sp so we'll get on fine) and I am now walling to the shop and getting some cookies and marshmallows. Need sugar.
Well Star, we'll just have to change that won't we? It all starts with a little bit of optimism and positive thinking.
I started calling you a bubble once because you're super bubbly!
(Hello Star, Silente, Death, Raven, and anyone else who I've missed.)
...Yeah Raven no that's really not how it works. At all..
(Lucian - cookies are good. *nods*)
@Msuhroom: Thank you!!!!!!! :) *hugs*
*waves to Dragona, and anyone else who appeared* *I'm rubbish at noticing when people appear :P*
@Raven: Possibly. If he wasn't a sadist, he wouldn't be Alastair, though. :/
@Silente: THAT IS HOW IT WORKS.
OPTIMISM AND POSITIVE THINKING ROCK
*The siren laughed softly and her grin turned wild*
In that case...
~~~~
*Rose smiled thankfully up at Loki, but it was shattered when a door was open and light flooded in*
You're coming with me, Rose.
*She was pulled from the room by her arms and tossed into another. She felt a familiar presence and grinned into the darkness*
Loki!
*But her smile faded when she looked down at herself. Something silver was poking through her chest*
*hugs Star back* No problem! You're the bubbliest person I know. It's amazing. :3
Rose...*goes over to her, wrapping his arms around her* Shhh...I'm going to take you to Astrid..you'll be safe.
*opened)
@Star yeah but you can't change who someone is.
