The final book.
The last Skulduggery.
I've been writing these books since 2005, so for me it's been nine years of living with these characters, in this world. I knew saying goodbye was not going to be easy...
But I haven't had to say goodbye yet. Not really. I wrote the book. I edited. I went through it again and again. I decided on covers, on approaches. I approved tour schedules and special events. I prepared. I tweeted. I blogged. I kept busy. I kept looking forward...
But now... now (most of) the preparation is done. I just have to turn up now, and talk, or sign, or talk and sign, and meet people and go places.
It's going to sink in NOW. I can feel it.
No more Skulduggery Pleasant.
I'm going to give my usual "No Spoilers" speech now. So, like, no spoilers, people. The comment section above is for spoilers, not this one.
But even outside of this blog, please be considerate of your fellow Minions. Don't go blasting spoilers on Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr. Be subtle about it, and if you can't be subtle, go LOUD with the spoiler warning.
And when I say spoiler I don't just mean" "Oh my god, I can't believe THIS CHARACTER did THAT to THAT OTHER CHARACTER!"
I also mean spoilers in a more general sense. For example, saying things like: "Derek, I can't believe you did that! I'll never forgive you! How could you?? That was my favourite character!!"
Or: "I'm so delighted! I loved it and the ending was just what I wanted!"
You have friends, Minions, who know your hopes and dreams. They know your favourite characters. They know what you're dreading. So don't confirm any of these things when you comment, even if you make sure not to get too specific. If you love the book, tell me. If you hate the book, tell me that too. But keep in mind that other people will be reading, and if you give away what kind of ending the book has, you've just cheated them out of finding out for themselves.
I love your enthusiasm. Your enthusiasm makes these books what they are. So while you're being considerate of your friends, be sure to revel in your enthusiasm, and your excitement, and your dread, and your horror, and your happiness and your despair.
I hope you like it.

«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4719 Newer› Newest»Eyeless Jack: Kidneys are delicious
Sophia: I think there might be a steak and kidney pie somewhere, if that's what you mean.
(@Death: Yup. D:)
Eyeless Jack: Human Kidneys would be fine
( Hello. What are we all up to?)
Sophia: Mine are in use.

Eyeless jack: Awww, okay

It's the Requiem Ball.)
(back monetarily)
Ashlea: sure *smiles*
*starts playing let it go, the demi lavito version, and sings along to that*
Sophia: If I hear about you taking any organs, I will kill you. I may be wearing a dress, *remembers the back* well, half a dress, but I can still rip you apart.
*holds Ashlea's hand*
(I dedicate this page to you.
Yes you. No, the one to the left. What, there's no one there? Because I am actually talking to you, the human being, the alien, the animal, the colour with a consciousness, who is typing.
I dedicate this page to you, because without you, there would be none of your characters.
Without you, there wouldn't be Blogland.
And to Loki, because <3 )
( Oh well hello to you all. Mind if Raven joins the ball, she's never been to a ball before.)
Eyeless Jack: Dammit

(Bravi Rose!)
(Hear hear. :))
Of course, Raven! It's open to everyone, authors and characters alike. :) Non-cannon, off-timeline (mostly), and, um, lots of fun!
*walks with Ashlea* *leans against her*
(Yay Rose. Well done.)
(hear hear!)
(Star - "lots of fun". I think Sophia would disagree somewhat. :P)
Masky: *goes to Soph* You like cheesecake aswell? *asks shyly*
(msd)
Ashlea: *slips an arm around Leri's waist*
*stops at a door listening carefully and nodding*
*whispers* in there.
*finishes perfect and moves on once again to a new song*
Sophia: *shrugs* It's alright.
@Dragona: Well, never mind her. :P

... Should we... go in?
Masky: Its my favourite
Inky: shall w eplay some of the classic party songs?
(Star - lol. :P She's just grumpy. :P)

Masky: oh *walks away*
@Dragona: I worked that out. :)
Sophia: *finds more whisky, so pours herself some into her goblet and continues drinking*
*goes to get more punch*
Chris: Don't you think you have had enough?

(Dunno how to describe the dress I was thinking of, I dun do dresses. The picture is the next best thing.)
*enters the ball*
(I probably missed a tonne of stuff there...but meh.)
Hey Rave! Come and do the cha cha slide with meeeee!
*walks to inky*
The cha cha slide?
*The giddiness effect of the alcohol had faded and she stared morosely from the balcony, muttering quietly*
(I don't do dresses either! :P)
(And I missed a ton of stuff toooooooo, it's okay. :))

*starts to follow the movements of the song*
Hey. I'm doing it.
*laughs like a maniac*
I'm dancing. I haven't danced in a long while. Not that I've been around a long while......
*shrugs*
*dances constantly falling over her own feet in the ridiculous heels*
The year before last on holiday they were playing that the night we arrived on the campsite and me and my sister were doing it whilst walking back from the toilets . . .
(I went to park dean on hols and they were playing it in the complex... I was doing it on the floor with these little kids XD)
Sophia: *starting to feel the effects of the whisky*
(They tried to get us to do it on Sports Day, but our house was too far away from the speaker to hear the words so we were just kind of stood there. Not that any of us wanted to dance anyway. :P)
*She climbed onto the railing of the balcony and sat with her back to the ball and her legs on the far side. She considered letting herself fall for a brief moment before se shook her head. She wouldn't fly. She probably couldn't get the gravity to stop her when her head was so messed up*
(I don't know whats the matter with me
Im a very quiet person but im a wild raver in parties
in prom, I was on the floor with the 'popular' people and I was dancing like no one was watching)
*stopped dancing and walked around looking for a non-alcoholic beverage*
*finds herself out of the balcony*
*sees Rose*
Rose!
("Blogger Raven said...

*finds herself out of the balcony*
*sees Rose*
Rose!
August 30, 2014 at 12:38 PM"
That's how you make sure everyone is involved, people. :)
*nods approvingly*)
@Inky: Most people are contradictory . . .
*stops dancing and goes to get more punch*
*sees that it is missing*
*catches Chris carrying it away*
Hheyyyya ! what you doing? *welsh accent thickens*
Chris: stopping you from getting blind drunk. Youre 16?
I know! But ....
Chris: what?
it helps stops the nightmares....
*She tilted he head backwards to look at Rave and flashed a small, unconvincing smile*
Hey. Enjoying the ball?
*slides onto the dance floor, head down, hat on a jaunty angle, tipped slightly over they eye*
I have returned.
*lifts head up and spins, tiping hat so its off my eye*
Misd me?
*the (not they)
*miss (not misd)
*runs to Snow*
Snoooooooooooow! Chris iaking the punch away from me!
(Brb.)
*sighs*!did someone spike the punch?
*smiles back with a 1000 kilowatt smile trying to make it contagious enough for Rose*
I've only been here a few minutes, but I can say it has been a fantastic few minutes. Except for these shoes, shoes are overrated...
*takes off shoes*
*hands one to Rose*
Wanna throw one of the balcony with me? You don't seem to being having as much fun as you should. I ink throwing things with friends helps. I'm not an expert though, I usually wouldn't throw things but a ball's a ball.
*hiccups* Noooo...I don't think so! *smiles* I didnt
Hey Snow!
*shakes head* someone probably did. Probably Ed. *shakes head again* no more punch for you missy.
*directs her to a seat* sit
This is the downside of my drinking... I get really, really giddy for a few hours and then I'm like this for the rest of the day... Drinking is bad...
*She eyed the shoe in her hand skeptically*
This shoe could kill someone. There are innocent Asgardians down there. I'm not throwing that. Thor may just have me imprisoned... Then Loki wouldn't like that too much...
(Msd)
*frons* I don't wanna
Slenderman: Are you drunk, Child?
Nooo Slenderman
*spots Smile dog in human form*
Shall we do our dance for everyone SMiley?
Smile: Okay
*they disappear for a few minutes before emerging in costume*
Everyone!!!! Me and Smile dog are going to dance for yooou!
*starts dacning like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVff6205Ceg*
*frowns*
Like I said, I've never had to throw a shoe off a balcony before. Naturally one could be forgiven for looking over such details.
*frowns a little more*
*thinks*
I have begun and concluded my research that you are not incredibly happy right now. Drinking is bad, but not all drinking, like water, drinking water is good. Do you want water? I'm pretty sure someone said water stops drunkness, or maybe I said that.
*smiles*
If you want I'll get you water and headache removey stuff and then you'll be well on your way to a good party. Alcohol free.
(Hunter thinks it would be a good idea to blow up all the alcohol here.)
*facepalms* that girl....
Inky... *sighs* be careful.
*sits in the seat she wanted inky in*
(back.)
Manuel: *sits in a corner watching*
Orpheus: *also sits in a corner watching*
James and Erica: *teleports back to the main room*
Ashlea: er...I don't know....
*still playing the piano in a room on her ownj
Kay Kay
*Music starts*
clap if you want
*She shook her head at the offer*
Water is gross. It's tasteless but has a taste of horribleness, nothingness and bleughy stuff. I think I'll pass.
*Her hands gripped the railing tightly as she looked at her own shoes. They were gold and strappy. She wasn't one for strappy things. Or high heels. Or fancy. She wanted her jeans. She wanted the familiar hugging material around her legs so much that she felt tears pool in her eyes*
*starts dancing with Smile to 'no diggity'*
(Definitely a good idea, Hunter.
For one thing, it'd stop some people *cough* Ed *cough* getting drunk every 2 minutes)
(I love going on Omegle and screaming at randoms if they know where Nemo is...
Or pretending I'm a very famous character *cough*Thor*cough*)
(I love how everyone else is all formal am9nd I'm just in jeans and a jacket)
(*and)
(Everyone thinks I'm crazy... Heh...)
*frowns and notices the tears*
Oh Rose....what are we to do with you.
*frowns*
I'm not entirely sure what that means but I've heard it said before. And I definite didn't make that one up.
*sits on the balcony really clumsily and realises why she never does dresses*
Please don't cry Rose. This is a big day, a big happy day.
*wraps a daisy chain around her arm*
You know, my mum, not my birth mum, but my other mum, she used to tell me that the daisy chains would protect me. Daisy chains are like a beacon of safety, when you wear them you are safe, you are going to be okay.
*frowns*
I think we all want to forget some stuff and things that have happened, well mum used to say that daisy chains would help that. Daisy chains protected the soul.
*feels tears pricking up at the back of her own eyes but pushes them down, she wasn't going to cry*
*pats Rose's shoulder*
I'm young, and it don't know how to deal with problems very well. But they daisy chains help. Maybe they'll help you have fun tonight.
*definitely - not definite
*the - not they daisy chains
(Hunter: *looks at Snow happily, glad someone agrees with him*
Okay then.)
Hunter: *appears*
*surreptitiously walks over to the punch to blow it up*
Ez: *gives a helpless look to anyone who cares*
Hunter?
Hunter: Yes, Ez?
*stands buy the punch*
Ez: Don't.
Hunter: Don't what, Ez?
*takes a bottle out of his jacket*
Ez: *sighs*
*looks at everyone*
Stand back.
*finishes dance*
How'd you like that, eh?
*moves towards Chris before tripping over her own feet*
Chris: Inky! Are you alright?
Yuuup, I feel nothing
Chris: trust you to do some acrobatic dance, but trip over you're own feet
*tears up* Im sorry *voice like a little girls*
Chris: *startled* Uhh, don't cry. You did nothing *helps her up to her feet* here
*notices hunter and ez*
*walks up to Ez* uh.... what is he... doing?
*She rubbed her eyes and shook her head*
I've been... I want to go home... I miss denim... And the twins...
*She frowned at the daisy chain. Where had Rave got that from...?*
Well, try being two hundred, having your mother killed in front of you as a baby, having the man you called father turned out to be a liar, your real father was murdered by your friend, and tortured by the family you were forced into after you realised your fake father wasn't real. If daisy chains could help, they would have... And they haven't...
Ez: Blowing up the punch.
*sighs*
Hunter: *pours the contents of the bottle into the punch*
*puts the bottle back and takes a box of matches out*
...oh....
...
OH
why?!
*eyes widening in horror at the mention of torture*
Umm....That's all really sucky, like......really, really sucky.
*frowns*
Do you want to know a secret? The real secret behind daisy chains? Behind...
*frowns*
Behind me?
(OH MY GOD!
Me: Brother, please tell me that this 'stranger' is you. I've been searching Midgard for far too long. Please come home. Our mother misses you.
Stranger: OMG THOR I LOVE YOU MARRY ME PLEASE!!
Me: Brother... I do not understand....
Stranger: Thor OMG I love you heaps.
Me: I understand not. Is this my brother, Loki?
*Stranger has disconnected*)
(Oh Rose. That is funny. I do the same sort of things. Go on to anonymous websites and pretend to be someone I'm not just to see how people react.)
( @Death XD)
That was the G rated version. I can go into detail about working for Mevolent during the war, the constant tortures from both sides, the assassination attempts, the pain. Oh, the pain...
*She shivered at the memory of cold and dark and stormy and painful. Everything swirled up from the back of her mind and demanded to be seen. So she watched her memories, holding off Rave's answer until she had relived every single moment of her pain*
Sure... If you want to tell me...
(I shall do it again!!)
Ez: *shrugs* Why does Hunter do anything?
Hunter: *strikes a match on the side of the box, and drops it in the tainted punch, whizzing backwards with superspeed*
*there's a BOOM and the punch lights up into flames, flying out of - burning through - the punch bowls in all directions*
*most of it has burnt out by the time it hits the floor* *meaning it doesn't actually hit the flooor, of course*
*Hunter grins*
*Ez sighs*
*cries* you destroyed the punch*
*sobs*
Hunter: Sorry.
*looks sorry*
Ez: *digs her elbow into his side*
Hunter: *gives her a 'what?' look*
*looks around for more alcohol to combust*
(Back.)
Meanie!
*storms off*
Chris: thank you for doing that
*goes off after Inky*
(Bbs, lunch.)
(welcome back Draggie.)
Sophia: *keeps drinking her whisky*
(You: Brother, please tell me that this 'stranger' is you. I've been searching Midgard for far too long. Please come home. Frigga misses you.
Stranger: whats up?? Kacey, Female, US, 18......
You: I know that you do not count her as your mother, but she did raise you...
Stranger: you?
You: Me? What of me?
Stranger: do you like soda?? Coke? Pepsi? can you please do me a quick favor?
You: I do not know of this soda that you speak of... And I shall do anything for a lady
Stranger: I'm doing a project for my foods class
Stranger: can you please complete the survey here: BESTSODA.CO
Stranger: PLEASE BABE?? I ONLY NEED A FEW MORE!!
Stranger: I would so greatly appreciate it
You: You are not my brother... Would one know where I would be able to find him? His name is Loki
Stranger: fill it out please... then we can kik or cam
Stranger: maybe if you're lucky i'll show you my TlTS ;)
You: I have no interest in this 'kik or cam' that you speak of. I am merely here looking for Loki
Stranger: I will wait...
You: And I definitely have no interest in seeing a Midgardian's breast)
(What is wrong with some people...)
*looks at Hunter like "are you crazy"*
*realizes he probably is*
*sighs*
(G2g, night)
Sophia watch out!! Hunter is out to destroy alcohol!
(Goodnight, Snow!)
(listen to this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-GB724G1Ks&index=2&list=FLMvKph9NngI1bjqPBlkSHoA
and try not to cry)
(byii Snow)
Sophia: *sighs*
... Do you want to dance, Ashlea?
Ashlea: Do you think we should go in?
*plays a slow heart felt melody*
... I don't know...
*drops voice to a whisper*
I use the daisy chains to try and hang onto my parents, not my birth parents, because I don 't think my birth parents were the daisy chain sort of people.
*tries to keep her voice steady*
When I was 2 months old my parents sort of gave me off to another couple, and they raised me. And my mother and I used to make daisy chains together when dad wouldn't let me go and study the birds with him. But one day, I'm jumping off the wall in my backyard and I don't know what it was but I shifted, into a Raven. When mum and dad found out, they pushed me out. Raising a freak wasn't exactly number one on their to do list.
*her voice keeps wavering threatening to break*
I found a house in the woods, stole some food but the people who lived there weren't ecstatic. The man, my birth father, tortured me for three months, and my mother came in to heal me every night so that he could do it again. They didn't know it was me you see?
*the tears come down*
When I spot old them my name, Anna Talon, they tried to apologise but I wouldn't have it. I shifted and flew away. I promised not to be like them.
*sobs a little in between words*
You gotta find what work for you. I pushed all that bad away, and it sits inside me, I'm scared Anna will come out but I can't help it. You know what that's like. My point is daisy chains may not help you, but you need to have something that does, so tell me what that thing is and we can jump off this balcony and go find a nice pair of jeans to wear while looking for it.
*smiles*
Balls are overrated anyway.
Ashlea: ...*slowly steps towards the door, hand hovering over the handle*
... If you want us to go in, we can... But I think I'd like to dance...
(Ill be back later
I have to go over my nanas)
Ashlea: *stops* oh. Okay. *smiles* we can dance instead.
*closes the lid and walks to the door, opening it with a peaceful look on her face*
*needless to say this look does not last long when she sees Ashlea and Leri*
*steps away from Silente*
... Let's dance, Ashlea...
Actually Leri...
*pauses*
You know what never mind.
Ashlea: sure.
... What, Silente?
...nothing. Enjoy the dance.
*walks away, back to the ball room*
Ashlea: that's...weird.
... Yes...
... Silente, wait.
*pauses and looks back*
*raises an eyebrow*
Yes?
Ashlea: *squeezes Leri's hand*
*She pursed her lips and looked at the ground very, very far away*
I'm the daughter of Baron Vengeous. Step-daughter of Serpine. Serpine was the fake father. Baron feared I would be used as a bartering chip during the war that they knew was going to come.
He was right.
I was two when they came for me, after I'd been placed under the care of Nefarian. My mother was my real mother. The men came and killed her when she fought them. They were coming for me. My mother protected me until the end.
Then the men left and I crawled out after them. That was the day I first learned how to do the glare...
After that, Serpine refused to talk to me. Baron disowned me and sent me on my merry way. He didn't expect me to live for very long, but a family took me in. Every night I was tortured by the father of that family. Every night I would have to stitch myself back up.
Then the war started and I joined Mevolent, along with both of my fathers.
Countless tortures, kidnapping, abuse in the worst form by many people.
*She sent Rave a knowing look*
Yes. That. Then I was tortured by Mevolent because he accused me of double crossing.
After that, I went on my own. I needed money. I became a hit man. Killed more people than you've seen. Almost been killed more times than you will ever see. Got too many scars. Most of them healed.
*She swung her legs off the balcony and nodded*
I want my jeans...
*squeezes Ashlea's hand, back*
... What were you going to say?
..A lot of little things Leri.
Life....isn't always pretty...is it?
*shifted as she jumped to the ground and then back to human form*
Do you want me to come with you?
... Then tell me... Please...
Life is absolutely horrendous. But that is life. A horrendous ball of crap.
*She nodded to Rave and took her hand*
Yes. Please...
Maybe another time. Enjoy your dance.
... I can be stubborn when I want to, Silente... Please?
Stubborn? Oh Leri I don't think you can. Leave the little monster be.
*smiles*
*puts a hand on Silente's shoulder* ... I... I'm not going to leave you alone until you tell me...
*takes Rose's hand*
Lead the way.
Well, you know what they say...when life gives you lemons. Chuck the lemons back in life's face, unless of course you are a good shot, in which case you might not want to hit life. Instead, make lemonade.
*looks at the hand*
*looks back at Leri*
Leri, just leave it.
*goes back to the corner he stood in all night*
Sophia: *sits in the corner drinking her whisky*
... You didn't sound... hostile... and now I want to know... Please? I can make you as much serum as you want, if you ever need it...
Hey Loki...
*She waved at him, her smile unconvincing, and then looked at Raven*
I'm really sorry, but I do have to dance with him. I'll be back momentarily... Ish... And I personally prefer to eat the lemons... Because lemons are nice.
That's okay Rose.
*smiles*
I never did get my drink. Come and get me when you are done making out with you're little friends.
*smiles a friendly smile and skips off*
Hostile? Hmm. It doesn't matter Leri. Drop it.
*steps away and turns, walking back into the ball room and away from Leri and Ashlea*
*wonders were Zaf is*
*searches for drink*
*shrugs* Go dance, I owe my sister a dance anyway....wherever she has wandered off to.
Zanida: *is sitting with Thor, her head against him*
Thor: Zan, what will I ever do with you?
Zanida: Kiss me?
Thor: I do that a lot...
*She smiled softly at Rave and nodded*
Thank you. I will.
*She made her way through the crowd to Loki and stood beside him*
*crashes into Edward while looking for a drink*
Oh sorry. I didn't see you.
*holds out hand*
I'm Raven.
Zafira: *is dancing with a very stunned Ravel* Would Rose kill me if I danced with Loki?
Ravel: You're married, I would say she would not.
*shakes hand* I am Edward, pleased to meet you. Drink?
Okay, Loki. I'm planning on heading home now, anyway. I'll meet you there.
*She walked towards Rave, smiling at her*
So. Okay, I'm off. He's going to dance with Zan.
*moves forward until she's stood in front of Silente*
... Please?
*takes Rose's hand* You're so eager to dance again? I thought you would have given up, due to our height differences.
(I won't kill you, Zaf. Don't worry.)
*watches Zaf and decides to wait*
*grabs a glass of wine and takes a sip*
I'll dance with you....My sister...can wait...*sighs* I should shut my mouth.
*secretly pours serum into sipentes drink*
*looks at Leri*
...no. Sorry but no.
Ashlea: *watches them, tense*
*looks at Edward and then back to Rose, and then back to Edward*
It seems I can not have a drink just now because I'm...........otherwise occupied.
It was great to meet you Edward and I'm sure we could catch up for a drink later.
*looks at Rose*
Jean hunting?
*silentes
... What do I have to do to get you to tell me?
*hugs Ashlea*
*She beamed at Loki*
It doesn't matter. I better check on the twins anyway. I'll see you after the ball.
*She saw that Raven was chatting with Ed and shrugged, walking away towards the Bifrost*
Ok Raven *drinks bottle of wine and stumbles around room*
(Brb.)
(Why do people keep putting stuff in Sil's drink?!?!?!)
*makes a face at the wine and sets it down*
Tastes funny.
*looks at Leri*
Nothing. I'll tell you if ever the opportunity occurs again.
Ashlea: *hugs Leri back*
Raven, you should go socialise. This is your first ball. This is my third. Go have some fun.
Damn, that serum was expensive. *heads to drinks table*
Okay Rose
*cuddles*
Bye
*looks for Ed*
Ed! Still up for that drink?
Sure *offers raven a glass of wine*
No, Rose. *goes after her* I barely saw you at all....I don't really want to be there without my date...and you know we took the twins up here last night.
*She hugged Raven back and left, walking through the familiar halls to outside, then along the rainbow bridge. She spotted Heimdall and waved half-heartedly*
Hey...
*glances at the glass of wine*
Is there anything non-alcoholic.
*blushes*
I'm not exactly an adult. I'm barely a teenager.
*sits down in the background, watching Zaf*
*pulls a hip flask from her basically invisible pocket and takes a small swig before putting it back*
(Back-ish.)
... Silente, please? Please? Sophia has some blood on her ship I could get some for you...
Ah, sorry *offers orange juice*
Heimdall: You should be enjoying the Ball, you left Loki very distraught.
Leri you don't have to rob Sophia. Just drop it. Pretend I was never not hostile.
Zafira: *after a while wanders in the palace*
Yeah, and I'm drunk and depressed. Loki doesn't need me around when I'm thinking of jumping off the edge of the world. Can you please send me home, Heimdall?
*takes the glass*
*sits down*
*tries to do some small talk*
So what brings you to this neck of the woods?
Erm, well I just came for the ball.
*grabs two glasses of wine and walks after Zaf*
Heimdall: That gives me all the more reason to decline that request, Rose. Your twins are up in Frigga's room, I can see them both wide awake. Go see them. I cannot let you pass and expect to live, when Loki would get hold of me....
*mentally insults herself*
Raven's subconscious: What did you expect, he came here to see a nice duck. An odd cow or two?
*frowns*
Yes, well, of......of course.
And.....how's the ball been?
Zafira: *looks around, finding herself in the room with the tree where Odin once told Jane and Thor about the Dark Elves* So pretty...
Heimdall. Send me home. Now. That is not a request, it is an order. I am going home. I want to be home. I hate dresses. And I don't want the twins or Loki to see me like this.
The balls fine. I put a shark in the punch though, by accident
*leans against the door frame*
Want a drink?
*holds up one of the glasses of wine at Zaf*
*sips her own glass*
How can you accidentally out a shark in the punch? I thought sharks were big things, with teeth and stuff. Aren't they sort of easy to recognise.
I confused it with a monkey
(Back in 10)
*hugs Ashlea* ... I really wAnt her to tell me...
Heimdall: Take it up with Thor, Rose. It is his request that I not allow any of you that are drunk to pass. I am sworn to obey my king. ((Its basically everyone, Thor doesn't want to find out what happens when drunk Midgardians travel the Bifrost.-Zaf.))
Zafira: No, I really don't. I probably should just head back to the Ball now.
Ashlea: so do I....but you should force her...
Back
(See you then, Ed.)
(Without the Ed that totally rhymed.)
*slouches back in chair*
Monkey?
But a monkey is like.......how do I put this.....wait? Were you by any chance intoxicated when you mistook this shark for a monkey. And on top of that, what purpose would the monkey have served in the punch.
I was trying to train a monkey butler and it went wrong
Oh. Okay then.
*looks at the extra glass of wine she now has*
Sorry. I suppose.
*eyes light up*
Can I have a monkey butler?
(Drunk is on the Bifrost...? That sounds like a comedy just waiting to happen!)
*She groaned and her face fell into her hands. Se could feel tears springing into them*
But if I am to see Thor, then I'll have to pass Loki. And I can't lie to him because he'll know. Just...
*She shook her head and her shoulders started to heave with her quiet sobbing*
Of course *monkey appears* here you go, he's either a butler or a chef
*us on the Bifrost)
*She could feel
*pokes the monkey*
I have concluded that this is in fact a monkey.
*jumps up and hugs Ed*
THANK YOU!
*walks to Silente* ... Before, you asked me to beg... And now I'm begging... Please?
Quite ok, just don't go near the shark, it might be angry, or drunk or both
*looks at Leri*
Don't bloomin beg. Just drop it. It doesn't matter.
Are you drunk?
I mean you just drank a bottle of wine. And you were harboring a monkey.
