Minions! Operatives! With just over two weeks to go, the countdown
to Theatre of Shadows has truly begun. There are only a few
tickets left, so if you want to take part in an ASTONISHING ADVENTURE THAT WILL
CHANGE THE WORLD* then please book now to secure a place in Dublin!
(*May not actually change the world.)
Today marks the launch of the Theatre of Shadows microsite:
here you'll find galleries, an archive of all the messages so far in the hunt
for Silas, and all the news to come. Just click the link ENTER THE DARKNESS from the main Theatre of Shadows page. We've built this specifically to include all the
American, Swedish and Norwegian Minions — who until this point have been unable
to register — in order to have a truly global experience. There'll be
heaps more to come, and for anybody not based in USA Sweden or Norway, don't
forget to register for the online Theatre of Shadows Mystery here.
The microsite password will be changed regularly so keep on here.
First one to get you started though is… RESCUE.
Wondering what on earth I'm talking about?
Theatre of Shadows is an immersive fan event like no other…
on Saturday 27th September, those lucky enough
to secure a ticket will be taken on an adventure inside the
world of the books. I'll be there, along with the incredible LARP (Live Action
Role Playing) specialists who have helped produce this madness. There'll
be role-playing, problem solving and an amazing quest to tackle. The
event is tailor-made by yours truly and I'll be writing a brand new short story, inspired and informed
by YOUR participation, on the day! Which means the brave actions of ALL the
Operatives – Live and Remote - stand a chance of entering officially into the
Skulduggery history books.
Once you've registered and are heading into battle: remember to
leave a REFLECTION behind to keep friends and relatives quiet. Our shiny new Reflections Hall of Fame app is now live on Facebook. I want to see your preppiest, most saccharine
outfits and expressions people! Remember — you Reflections are the goody-goody
two-shoes version of you, so smile, be happy, and be the "perfect"
version of you that you can be! If you'd like to share these as your profile
pictures then all the better. Mention #TheatreofShadows so that other
Operatives will know you're in on the secret.

(How is that breaking my rules? You couldn't kill Zafira legally - I could. So I would be the one to kill her.
Silente tortures - I can kill her legally. So I would be the one to kill her.)
(Probably more than ten. I might even say possibly more than twenty by now....)
(You can't legally kill a person... That's still called murder...)
(No, if it's legal it isn't murder.
Elleni - because I am a Spectre. I have the authority.)
(Killing someone is always going to be illegal. Who is one to decide that another should die?)
(The Citadel Council - a group of representatives from every major race in the galaxy. That's how Spectres are elected.)
(
(I am, Rose:
"Spectres (Special Tactics and Reconnaissance) are agents entrusted with extraordinary authority by the Citadel Council, including the power of life and death over the inhabitants of the galaxy.")
(@El cuz she has a badge!)
*sings very quietly to herself, cross legged in the grass*
(Well, that's not how it works on Earth, my dear. If you kill someone, I shall avenge them. That, too, is murder, and illegal, but I have another planet I can run away to so I'm safe.)
(My morals...? Or Sophia's...?)
(Actually, Rose, the Citadel Council has a human representative - so it is.
I have a ship - you are not safe on any planet.)
(I would arrest her, if it was a possibility - but it wouldn't work, due to the fact she could just use her portals to escape.)
*flops onto her back staring up at the fat raindrops that have been soaking her now for over an hour*
(Yes, I am human.)
(You would not destroy Asgard. Or perhaps I could go to Jotunheim and stay with Laufey. He's... Not as bad anymore. He's starting to understand his son! And you probably wouldn't get past Loki...)
(Hehe, El, I have good morals!!)
(And how would I get the shackles on her without her using portals?)
(The fact no one respects the authority I have does not make it non-existent. If the police wish to arrest someone, but that person does not respect the law - they can still arrest them.)
Hey El. Do you like the rain too?
*She ran in, hugging a polar bear teddy to her chest*
I got a piggyback from Loki! He gave me a piggyback! And it was so much fun!! The God of Mischief gave me a piggyback!!
(Well, if a policeman was to arrest me, I would either try and talk my way out of it, or I would punch my way out of it.
I'll do the same for you, Sophia, if the need arrises.)
(Which is why Spectres are needed, Rose, for the people who could punch their way out.
Elleni - If I arrest someone, I will hold them. I have already justified my actions - you simply do not understand.)
(Well, I doubt the Spectres have never tried to arrest a goddess.)
Hey guys...
(You are still a human, Rose, no matter of your status.
Elleni - I'm sorry, but I'm sensing contradiction. You already said my authority exists.
If they break the law - I can arrest a human being. If arresting isn't an option - shooting is.
I am in no way breaking my own laws. And I am doing my job, not abusing the power it gives.
Tell me - what is the difference between Silente and a man who hides in alleys during the night, kidnapping people, doing horrific, unimaginable things to them and then leaving? Nothing.)
(Chi!! Hey!)
Elleni, you're ace. :)
(I may not have been morn in Asgard, but I have the same properties as Loki or Thor. I could kick your butt any day.)
(CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! *tacklehugs*)
(Hey Star!!)
I got everything taken off me for 2 months. It's only been a week...
Ive been on twice to the blog and no one has noticed so...yeah.
(bore da!)
If you see blake...tell him i love him and to look after the twins...
(Just because you don't think it matters doesn't mean it means nothing.
And technically, I do have that power.
Yes, there is a difference. 1. Arresting is an option. 2. I can do it legally - please stop trying to apply civilian laws with me - I am not bound to them.
You were all for killing Zafira, Elleni - you have a double standard. Oh, I see now - you believe right and wrong centres around your friends. Your friends can break as many laws as they want, and that is acceptable - and no one can act against them? *laughs* Ah, friendship. How corrupting it can be.)
(I've noticed, Chi.
Whenever someone leaves, a massive hole is blown in Blogland.
I haven't seen Blake, so I haven't been able to tell him...)
(how is everyone this fine morning?)
(Average, Chloe. Yourself?)
When was the last time he was on...?
(I'll tell him if I see him. What did you do?)
( Im good. Ill be volunteering today and I have kung fu, so when I go, I wont be back till around 8 tonight)
(hear hear)
Um...if i could come on, i would. I got all electronic devices taken off me. 7 weeks left....wooo.... I'm not choosing not t come on.
(gtg, can't stay on long... just, if you see him, tell him. I've conacted him on skype too but my parents will see. *sigh*)
(Byii Chi)
I think you're all too stuck in laws.
I have the rather Hunter-ish option that it doesn't matter what the law is. Laws can be incorrect. You should just judge an action on whether it's right* or wrong.
Killing is always wrong, but sometimes it's less wrong than the alternative.
*left-diagonal-up-down-backwards-forwards-curvy-cirvular-straight-multiple directions-invisible directions-nonexistent directions-indecipherable directiond
(He will be the god of Midgard, just wait.)
(Hey Star)
(I am not a civilian. So why would I be bound by civilian law?
Yes, yes you are. Extremely biased. The law does not discriminate. You need to accept that legal and illegal does not change with who your friends are. Torturing someone is against the law - and breaching human rights. Yet you thought this as acceptable. But you were all for killing Zafira for doing something just as bad? I'm sorry, but I'm not going to continue this conversation with you when you are so blinded by your friendships.)
(Well, byii
*vanishes without a trace*)
(Killing Silente would be better than allowing more and more people to be tortured and killed.)
I agree with Sophia THERE.
People should be judged by the same rules whether they're people's friendsor not.
But Zaf is an insane maniac and Sil, although messed up, actually has ger values in a correct place, so.
(Sil doesn't kill the people she tortures she likes seeing the emotional torment afterwards she only kills them if they see her face or if she's interupted.)
Like you said, Silente has friends.
Well, then if those friends want to keep on having her exist, they'll teach her how to do torture and kill.
All will be good.
@Silente: Yeah, Sil is sounding a TAD sadistic and needing-to-be-killed there . . .
So in the book I'm reading for school, Fangirl, there is this fictional series the author made up and the main guy in this fictional series (in the book), is called Simon Snow. Amd they often refer to him as just Snow and I just--
I have to keep reminding myself they are not talking about me.
(Wait. So who wants to torture who and why?)
(Silente is just an example.)
@Snow: XD
Hunter says that if you try to kill him he'll kill you.
(Oh, and before I go -not that anyone will notice- heres a cute pic)
Well ifthey go round torturing people then you can see Sophia's point.
(damn it didn't work
byii)
@Inky: It's not visible, sorry. :/
Fours, Inky. :(

(@Star yeah that didn't come out the way it was meant to)
(Bye, Chloe.)
(How about Sil tortures El while I keep Soph occupied?)
(*sighs* This place is very corrupt.)
(El, you can do it!!)
@Sophia: You can say that again.
@Death: Then Sophia will kill Sil afterwards.
(We'll figure out the next bit later, Star!)
(Be tortured!!)
I AM AGAINST TORTURING
(WHATS SO WRONG WITH A LITTLE TORTURE?)
(As am I, Star. I'm also against corruption.)
(This place reminds me of Omega an astonishing amount.)
(IT WILL ALL BE FINE!!)
(A LITTLE TORTURE NEVER KILL NOBODY)
@Sophia: Me too.
*nods at Elleni's point:/:/*
*KILLED
(That would be one way of fixing it. However, orbital bombardment is illegal under council law. At least, on a garden world. And Earth is a garden world.)
(Sil, wanna go a few rounds?)
(I see torture isn't as acceptable as you thought, Elleni.)
Hiya guys :)
(Hello, Emerald.)
(Hey Phoe!!)
Hi! And please, call me Fay/Phoe any variation of the two.
:P
(I would kill your friend to stop more people being tortured in the future. It will save lives and help suffering.)
Torture? Uh... O_O
What did I just walk (figuratively speaking) into? :P
(If you kill her, I'll kill you. And then I'll bring Sil back with the energy from your soul.)
(Fay, a debate about torture, authority and morals.
Thank you, Elleni. Now we have come to an understanding.)
(Ah, more corruption.)
(XD I am finding this so funny.)
(Kk death but Mbd...)
Oh. That...
That explains a lot.
(Alright, Tempest. Let's play.)
*She has no idea how to start this, so she sits by her rock, hugging her polar bear teddy tightly, thinking of the day's events*
I can't believe he actually gave me a piggyback...
(Yes, Fay, it does. It seems several people have interesting views on the subject.)
Everybody on here has an interesting view on anything, pretty much.
And I don't care if that last sentence was gramatically incorrect. :P
*casually walks out of Death's base after sneaking in while Death was out*
*She stiffened as something in her coat started to beep. Her alarm had been triggered. The one for her base.
She got to her feet and slowly started to make her way to her base*
(If anyone dies - I will take action. Just pointing that out. Unless this is non-canon.)
*pauses and walks back to the base*
*she'd forgotten to close the door*
*closes the door*
*She saw Sil enter her base and stiffened. She walked to the door and leaned against it*
Oi. What the Hell are you doing in here?
(Yeah, so, my mum officially has no trust left for me. She won't take any of my evidence to say that I did something today. So fucking great.)
*looks at Death*
er....
*thinks about the surprise engagement party she'd been setting up*
...making paper cranes?
Paper cranes? In my base? Please, Silente. I know you better than that.
*She strode in, grinning. It wasn't a pleasant grin, either*
Tell me why you're in here.
*backs up slightly, further into the base*
*-don't let her see the mechaisms! Don't give the party away!-*
Leaving?
You better be.
*She pointed to the door*
Out. And you better tell me how the Hell you got in. Because this place is sealed. And requires a fingerprint to gain entry.
*-If you leave she'll look around-*
*looks at the door*
...after you.
*She rolled her eyes, took Sil's hand, and towed her out behind her*
I have an alert in my jacket. When someone or something leaves, then I get a call. Or, rather, a beep. Don't try it again, Tempest, or I will get pissed.
(I am back.)
(WB, Soph.)
(Thank you.
I assume the debate earlier was in characters?)
Okay...
*-as soon as she leaves go back in and finish up the work-*
(Yeah, my author is very much against torture.
And of hunting.
Don't get her started on hunting.)
*She muttered something under her breath and glanced back at Sil*
I swear, if you touched anything in there, I'm going to shoot you. Because that's full of memory things. Every item has a different memory linked to it.
(That is good.
People can criticise the way I work, or my job, and I do not give a shit. The fact is: the more people torture and kill, the more people like me are needed. They bring it upon themselves.)
*nods*
*-damn-*
(My author agrees wholeheartedly, but I. I say otherwise. I believe that people who torture and kill others create jobs for people like you. You should thank us.)
*She frowned and looked at Sil*
What...?
*Her head dropped and her knees gave out. She fell to the floor where she pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on her knees*
Sil... Can I ask you something...?
(It is my job to stop people like you - I will thank you with a shot in the head.)
(You know, a thank you is all that's neeeded. Not a bullet.
Bullets hurt, Keating.)
Rose?
*moves closer to her, crouching in fronr of her*
What's wrong?
(I don't fire bullets. A common mistake. I could kill even an Asgardian with my pistol.
Not in the head they don't.)
(C worked out something yesterday.
She worked out that a unicorn is a horny pony. XD)
It's... It's something that's been on my mind for a while...
*She looked away from Sil*
Alastair said the other day that perhaps I was a masochist... Am I...? Because I'm always getting myself into fights and into trouble... And I offer my life when others are in danger... And Loki used to mentally torture me but I couldn't stay away from him...
*She looked at Sil, tears in her eyes*
Am I...?
(If it is an ordinary bullet from an ordinary pistol, then you wouldn't be able to kill one of us.
But with your weaponry...? I would not have a slight clue... I don't know what I can and can't do...)
(Star.
OMG.)
(Star - I have no idea how that works out.)
@Death: YES. XD
@Sophia: Because a unicorn is a pony with a horn . . . ? It's a horny pony . . . ?
(But it isn't even a bullet. It's a slug. If we fired bullets, the shots would just go straight through the target - even a Krogan, who, for the record, are tougher than any Asgardian. The slugs are designed to break and squash on impact - causing lethal damage.
They would kill you.)
(I have just shown that to my friends, Ink Bubble. I am currently awaiting their responses.)
(Oh... God... Alright. Remind me if we are ever to engage in battle, then I will have to rid you of your weaponry.)
@Death: XD
Thanks on C's behalf?
No. You aren't.
(Neither of them seem to be on the internet at this given moment, Ink Bubble. My sincerest apologies.)
(Not going to happen, Rose. Even if you take away my guns, I still have biotics.)
Are you sure, Sil...? Because... I don't know anymore... Maybe my 'heroicness' is just my masochistic nature showing through...
I just...
I just don't know anymore, Tempest...
(I am a lot faster than I once was, Keating. I might be able to dodge them.)
'Sfine, Death. :)
:/
*would love to tell Detah how she's awesome, but isn't over there*
(Danke, Ink)
(Most of my biotics cannot be dodged, Rose. As for the gunshots... We use mass effect fields to reduce the mass of the slug so it can move hundreds of times faster, and more, than weapons from this time.)
Hey listen. Alastair just wants people to hurt.
(Oh... What would your feelings be towards your hands being cut off? That does sound like a much better idea than being shot or slowly ripped apart on a molecular scale.)
I know, Sil... But... He's changed since he met Adra and they... They you know, fell in love... He's not the pain-inducing man he once was... Anyway, he and Judi got along quite well in his early days here...
But... He's almost normal now...
(For the record, Alastair is still a sadomasochist.
He just happens to talk a lot of sense when he's talking about sadism.)
(Ah, see, my biotics don't run through my hands - physical movement helps me concentrate on what I am attempting to do, but I can do it without. Cutting my hands off would not gain anything - as my hands are technically nothing to do with it.)
No. He hasn't changed. People don't change, only the parts of them you see do.
(Alastair HAS changed!
(sorry, I'm just kind of arguing to myself over here . . . :P)
People DO change. People can change IMMENSELY. And Alastair has changed. Fu'aojd;sdnmSODMSA'Md)
(Alice is a meanie...)
(Well, Keating, I do believe Loki can freeze a person. And send them to another realm where they will either freeze or be killed.)
Alastair... He has... I know he has... Normally, he would have appeared and tried to kill everyone... And now...? Now he speaks to us like he's normal...
(*sighs* Easy sorted. Biotics to take out the ice - thermal controls in my armour to deal with the cold.
I am prepared - otherwise I wouldn't be good at my job, would I?)
(Ohh... You're good, Commander. Maybe you are worthy of that title.
How about lightning? Can you survive being struck by lightning and then being hit by something that weighs more than you would even be able to think of lifting?)
No. Everyone has the capability to nice. Alastair just didn't show it. He hasn't changed who he is, just what he shows.
*She thought about what Sil was saying before she leaned forward, pulling her into a tight hug*
Thank you, Silente... I don't believe you, but thank you so much...
(Lightning - biotic barrier. Heavy object - reduce its mass with mass effect fields.)
(I agree with Sil there. Alastair always had the potential to be nice, he just didn't see the value in it. Now, he knows Adra would like him to be more nice, so he's trying to be.)
(Plus you're just not interesting enough for him to want to torture.)
(But it has very, very little mass. It is Thor's hammer, which is insanely heavy. So heavy, that Loki couldn't lift it. And that is saying something...)
(I don't know whether or not to be insulted by that last bit, Bub... I think I'll go with insulted, because it matches my overall mood right now.
Um, OUCH?!)
(Biotic barrier, my shields or move out of the way.)
*sighs when shes hugged and wonders if people will ever accept that she doesn't like hugs*
*especially considering she's managed to run out of blood again*
It's okay.
(@Death: Sorry. That's what he thinks, not me.)
(Oh, damn. You are good...
Um... Trickery? Millions of a certain person. Or the illusion of an army? Or the changing shape of face of the person? Like, me turning from me to Silente?)
*She pulled away quickly, remembering her distaste for hugs and public displays of affection*
Sorry... It's just... Life is going strange... I... I never would have thought that Loki and I would be together... And now I'm... I don't even know how strong I am and how fast I can move and what I can take... I'm just so confused right now...
(Evil Alice...)
(Loki thinks himself clever for killing eighty people in several days. I have killed more than five hundred in a few hours. Even if your army dies realistically - it will only prolong the inevitable.
If we were fighting - it would mean Silente would have done something bad and you stood in my way - I would still shoot you.)
(:O
Alastair isn't evil . . . :()
(It would be a fake army. They wouldn't even be there...
And no. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Silente and me if Loki chose for me to look like her...)
(Alice has always been evil...)
(@Death: No . . .
:(
He isn't evil . . .
He's awesome . . .
He's just like the rest of us really, expect more awesome of course, he just has the kind of mind that like hurting people, same as I have the kind of mind that likes raspberries.)
(He's evil.
But I remember when he saved Judi after she was crushed by a pillar. That was pretty awesome.
And that's it.
Because he's evil...)
(I know. I would shoot at the army - if the projections didn't die, I would know they weren't real. If they did die - it wouldn't take me a lot of time.
I know I wouldn't. But Silente would have tortured someone - therefore I would shoot regardless. And you forget - tracking chip.)
(I think Loki would make you look like anyone BUT me...)
But you're happy yeah?
(@Death: :(
He is NOT evil.
What makes him evil?)
(He could.
HE MADE ME LOOK LIKE THOR ONCE! BUT HA! I USED IT AGAINST HIM!
Oh, brother, how I do miss those nights we spent together as children... Oh, I miss your touch...
I think Frigga was laughing...)
I am... I'm happy with Loki... But... I just don't know anymore... I mean, yeah, I'm happy. But... I'm just so confused...
(What doesn't make him evil?)
(@Death: What doesn't make YOU evil?)
(I do not believe people can be evil. Organisations and actions can be - but no one is all evil, therefore you cannot call them such.)
(Nothing. And I accept that.)
(@Sophia: Thank you.
@Death: Well, I don't believe you're evil.
And I don't believe he's evil.)
(I think the only reason he'd make you look like me would be so he could see me beg. Cause i sure as hell ain't bowing or begging in any other situation.)
Well...what are you confused about?
(I think I'm evil, therefore I am.)
I'm confused about everything... Like... What I can do now. I don't have magic, well, glaring. I can't glare. I can't manipulate gravity. I can heal a little, and that's it.
And what can I do? How fast am I...? I don't... I don't understand anything since I became a goddess... Maybe that was a bad idea... I did it so I could be with Loki forever... But... I... I don't know...
(No, you believe you're heroic too.)
(Every now and again.)
(Doesn't change the fact you consider yourself heroic.)
(Shut up...)
*hesitates a moment before standing and pulling her up*
You'll be fine without magic. As for finding out about that other stuff...well.....
*grins*
RACE
*runs*
(Why, Rose?)
*She stared at Sil before sprinting after her, easily catching and overtaking her within moments*
Holy Hell!!
*She stopped and looked back at Sil, her eyes wide*
I... Fast... I'm not... No...
(Because I hate it when people use my past words against me...)
(What do you expect when you're wrong?)
(Uh... For people not to realise that I'm wrong...)
(We've already realised. What now?)
*laughs*
Please. That was easy difficulty.
*sets off faste, a speed a human would never be able to match unless in a car*
(Now, we forget this ever happened...)
(*nods at Sophia :)*)
(Not going to happen.)
*She looked at Sil, a small smile flashing across her features as she ran after her. She still caught her with ease, but this time, she launched herself at Silente, tackling her to the ground*
Boo!
(Oh. Great...)
(It is, isn't it, Hero?)
*rolls and ends up on the floor*
Ugh. Dammit! Again!
*gets to her feet and runs faster, as a blur, weaving between the trees, pushing herself but still not going her fastest*
(I refuse to speak to you now.)
