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.

(Yeah....
BLOOMIN ELL IS THAT THE TIME?!?! I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY 2PM!!!)
(Your clock must be an hour and 24 minutes fast.)
(...maybe I should eat something then given the time...)
(That may be a clever idea.)
(Yeah it might be...brb gonna go make a sandwich or something)
(Sorry, staying distant)
You have awakened my hunger.
*goes to make sandwich*
(Alright, Silente.
That is fine, Tia.)
Sorry. Enjoy you food Tia.
Back btw.
(Hello again, Silente.)
(hello. Wanna rp?)
(What kind of RP?)
(you can choose.)
(Hmm. I am not sure - I will think.)
(Kk. I will wait.)
(We can rule out torture right away.)
(obvious. I presume no romance?)
(Definitely not.)
(Okay. *puts Manuel back in his box* er...)
(*still thinking*
We could just have a normal conversation - I am yet to find out about what Zafira did to Silente.)
(Okay then. That also means you don't know Sil has been fixed I suppose so.....preferably don't shoot on sight?)
*looks around for Sophia*
(I will not shoot on sight.)
(Oh good.)
*is back to the black shirt black jeans combo by now*
*spots Sophia and runs over to her, hugging her*
Thank you...
*pushes Silente away, drawing her pistol and aiming at her* What the hell are you doing?
My gerbils...-Zaf
*stays very still*
Don't shoot! I was just saying thank you and s-sorry...
Why on earth would you do that?
(Hello, Zafira.)
Because ...because of how I've been?
*looks slightly confused as to why she'd ask that question*
You...you do know I'm me again?
What do you mean that you're you again?
Erm...that...that I was fixed?
*tilts head* Fixed? You mean that you're not going to kill anyone anymore?
Hullo everyone
Well...I mean I'm not going to spin around and destroy towns on a regular basis...
^^ Bullshit.
(BLAKE GEM SAYS SHE LOVES YOU AND THAT SHE WON'T BE ON FOR 7 WEEKS BECAUSE SHE'S HAD HER GADGETS TAKEN OFF HER.)
(Yeah I saw. She messaged me over skype early this morning too...)
(Hello, Blake.)
*lowers her pistol, but keeps it in her hand* How were you fixed?
*opens her mouth to answer then closes it again frowning deeply*
erm....I'm not sure....
So then how do you know that you're fixed?
(Okay then. Well just to make sure you got the message.)
I just...do?
*hates how much of a liar she sounds like*
Tell me what happened, Silente. From the beginning. You must remember some of it.
(WBD, totally not supposed to be writing an essay right now...)
*waves*
(Hello, Loki.)
Okay so I was with Viv. Then there was some really nice smelling blood like seriously that blood it was just so-
*pauses seeing Sophia's face*
Moving on. I ended up in a room and then Aro invaded my mind and stopped me from being able to move and then Zaf appeared and
*struggles to remember*
There was pink and Justin Beaver and mortal and...and...
*trying to remember*
(Hey Blake, hey Zaf!)
*sighs* That sounds... unbelievable. But you would know that.
(I know what I want to ded to, I just don't know how to phrase it)
Yeah but you've always managed to call me out on my lies before....
Continue.
'Lo.
*sighs and thinks*
Okay...zaf was there and I...I think I heard hunter too and...someone else...and then stuff in my head was going missing and new stuff was appearing and I...I didn't like it...I was going...changing...then it stopped and...and.
*frowns* and I was stood there alone...
(Hello, Star.)
So, it was Zafira who... tried to take you?
Do you know who the other person was?
Heya, Star!
El said something about being rewritten I think when i told her about it...
The other person? Er...I...no.
(Hi Tia!)
Hunter: *walks into conversation*
It was the Mind Mage.
*looks at Sophia*
The one who can make you forget things?
He was messing around with your head a bit. I thought he was contradicting was Zaf was doing, but apparently he was restoring you.
Which is very cool. Hi.
Zafira wanted to rewrite you?
The Mind Mage got involved? Shit.
*looks at Hunter*
Hi...mindmage? I thought he left ages ago?
(aww poop all I have on my collage is the blogger logo and the words 'Arnold, Silente, Ashlea and Glue' I have no access to pictures and no idea what to put on it D:)
I presume so from what El said.
Hunter: @Silente: I have no idea?
All I know is, I've seen him recently, he was there, and he could be why you can't remember much.
*leans back against tree*
I have no clue whaat Zaf wanted to do to you. But she was meddling around with your mind and also, she's insane.
((Star: Sorry, Silente. D:))
Do you know why Zafira wanted to rewrite Silente, Hunter?
Oh..people shouldn't meddle with my mind..its not safe..
Hunter: @Silente: Exactly. That's why I was trying to stop Zaf.
@Sophia: No clue.
Zafira will be assumed hostile.
Hunter: @Sophia: Yay?
*he's unsure about that* *is that good or bad?* *from a non-selfish point of view it's good, though*
Thanks hunter..
*looks back at Sophia*
Anyway i wanted to say thank you and...and sorry.
(Okay I have art period four...IF I'm lucky one of two things might be possible. ONE The school library might be open at break and lunch...
TWO my art teacher might let me come in at lunch time and print the images off. HOWEVER that would be at the cost of me eating...)
Now hold up, last time I met Zafira, she was...
Look, I'm not going to be hostile towards her.
@Silente: Oh . . . :/ :/
Surely the printing won't take all lunch? We have an hour for lunch, so we can easily wait in the lunch queue for fifteen minutes, eat lunch, go to the library and print stuff off, and still have some time to stand around talking . . .
Hunter: *frowns at Tia* She was what?
*looks at Tia*
Even if she tried to rewrite someone?
If she is attempting to mindfuck people, Hunter, and rewrite who they are - then assuming them hostile is a sensible thing to do.
I have no idea what you want to thank me for, Silente - but I am not the one who you should be apologising to. You should be saying sorry to the families of the innocent people you killed.
Zafira: How am I hostile? *is standing beside Ravel and Loki*
Hunter: @Zaf: You're insane?
(our lunch is like 25 minutes...I COULD collect the images I want on my phone now then email them to myself, quickly apply them to a word document and print that off..it'd take about ten minutes...fifteen...possibly twenty. Then I could yam the food quickly...possibly...)
*raises her pistol at Zafira* You're a psychopathic bitch, that's how.
*quickly runs over to Zaf*
*stands by her side*
*faces the judgement of Blogland*
This is the side I have chosen.
Says the crazy lady with a gun...
*winces at Sophia's words* yeah...
*looks at Zaf but doesn't move away, just glares at her*
*in a cold voice* hello.
Zafira: I am not, I'm perfectly normal. I'll just be leaving now.
Ravel: Before you end up hitting someone.
Or killing.
Zafira: See! Tia thinks I am sane!
Hunter: *looks at Tia* Oh my gosh.
You're insane too.
(@Silente: That sucks. -_- How do you haev time to do anything???
Yeah - if you bring a packup, you might be able to eat quickly and make it. :))
You can run all you wish, Zafira. I will hunt you - I will find you - and I will kill you.
Hunter: @Zaf: But he's insane!
((Of course, I go on and now I have to go driving. Ugh. I will continue this when I get back :/ -Zaf
Tia...
*glares at Zaf more*
Perfectly normal my ass. What the hell?! Pink! Mortal! Justin?!?! Seriously??
Hunter: *looks at Sophia* *it's quite a blank look* *his eyes are grey*
*he thinks that's a bit extreme*
*Throws his hands in the air*
My point has been proven, I'll be off in the corner silently judging you all.
*Walks off to the previously mentioned corner*
((Star: @Zaf: Okay. :) *hugs*))
Hunter: @Silente: I think pink and mortal and Justin are perfectly normal.
Normal is just perfectly stupid.
If defending a woman who has a gun pointed at her, ready to fire, makes me insane, I will embrace such Insanity.
Hunter: @Blake: Have fun.
Hunter: @Tia: You do that.
((Hunter: Shall we wait for Zaf before continuing?))
(Hope you get lunch, Silente!
See you around, Zaf!
Corners are not safe - you can get cornered!)
You may think my methods are extreme, Hunter - but we do not know her reasons. She could be attempting to rewrite us all and bend us to her will. Plus - it gets results.
(That may be best.)
*Mutters about why certain people shouldn't be given the illusion of authority... or guns. Not illusion guns, real ones*
Hunter: @Sophia: I'm sure.
(Hunter: @Tia: Good one. :))
((No idea, Star))
((Hunter: Star isn't here.))
(You're out of line, Spectre! You're sounding more and more like a Cerberus operative!)
((What happened to Ez?))
(Ahem, Tia - As long as I don't shoot a load of innocent people, I can effectively do what I want. I am not out of line.)
(And do not compare me to Cerberus. Ever.)
((Hunter: Nothing. Well, not nothing, but nothing in the context you're asking in. Why?))
(Effectively no you can't. Wherever you're from you might be able to. But here you just piss a lot of people off.)
(And I am supposed to care, Blake?)
(I doubt i will have the time Star..
Okay lemme think.
3/5 mins to get to art.
2 different paths from here on. Path one:
1 min to ask the teacher (4/6), 1 min to log on. (5/7), 2 mins to get on my email. (7/9), 5/10 minutes to word document it. (12/17/14/29), 1 min to print off (13/18/15/30), 3 mins to get to lunch room. (17/21/18/33)
Time left to eat - 7/8/4/-8 mins left for food.
Path two:
1 min panicking cause the teacher isn't there (4/6), 2 mins to get to the staff room (6/8), 5 mins waiting and talking (11/13), 2 mins to get back up (13, 15), 1 min to log on (14, 15) then so above as below time left to eat - -times.)
(Weather you care or not doesn't matter to us, you have no more authority than anyone else here.)
(Hello people)
(Hi Ed.)
(Hello, Edward.
Do not break the law, Blake, and I will not piss anyone off - it's as simple as that.)
(Hi Blake)
(Hunter: Then how come Zaf has authority?)
(Hello Commander)
(Hunter: Hi Ed.)
(*facewalls* *mutters from against the wall* guess who isn't eating tomorrow.)
(To what law are you referring? Your law? Sorry, but if I feel like it I'll snap that right in two.)
(Hi star, hi sil)
(If I feel like it, I will rip you right in millions.)
(You make it sound like that's possible.)
((Star: @Sil: :O
Could you eat lunch at break? It's better than nothing.
Hunter: Hey.
*carefully shoves Star out of the way*))
(Hunter: @Blake: Zaf has authority and no one questions that.)
(Sophia, your law does not govern the earth, does it?)
(@Hunter: Duh, she's a grand mage not some gun slinging space cop.)
(My authority is recognised on Earth, yes. It is recognised in a lot of places - most places, actually.)
(Well, what appears to be the problem?)
(Hunter: @Ed: That's exactly what her law does.
*he appears to beon Sophia's side now* *okay then*
@Ed: She's a Spectre.
If Zaf gets authority, Sophia gets authority. Like you said, there can't be one rule for one person and another rule for the next.)
*Blake
*not Ed
*Blake
*The second time was BLAKE
*Star's head, I swear
(@Star I won't be hungry break. And there won't be enough time. We get 15 minute breaks. 5 mins at the beginning to check the library.)
(The problem, Edward, is that some people wish to break the law - and can't stand someone standing in their way.)
Star: @Silente: :/
That sucks.
(Ok, so her law applies across the galaxy)
(Hunter: @Sophia: So therefore they make a stand against them. :))
(In all fairness Sophia, no one ever stood in my way)
(Hunter: @Ed: Obviously.)
You know as well as I do that Blogland is not in Council Space. You have about as much authority here as a Hanar on Omega. And seeing how gun-happy you are... stop trying to make enemies.
((Wow, is this what hostile RP feels like?))
(Indeed, Hunter.
Most of the galaxy, Edward.)
(Before she showed up I'd never even heard of a Spectre before and I dare say the same holds true for most of us.)
(Blogland is on Earth - Earth is Alliance space. Humanity has a seat on the Council - therefore Earth is technically part of Council Space.)
(Hunter: *tries to work out if Star having heard of it counts for him having heard of it*
@Tia: Blogland is in Council Space.)
(Sophia, does your law apply to people who do not originate from council space or this universe?)
Hey, Edward!
(The entire galaxy? Ha! Why don't you take your Spectre authority to Tuchanka, I'm sure they'll be very friendly to you!)
(Wherever this "Tuchanka" is I like it.)
(Star: @Ed: Chinese people in America still have to follow American laws.
#Elleni
Hunter: *glares at Star* HEY.))
(Hi Tia)
(My authority applies to people who inhabit council space - and, for the record: I do not make the laws, I uphold them.)
(Oh)
(I said most of the galaxy. And don't worry - I've already been there. Been there, done that, came back covered in Krogan blood.)
(Blogland exists on the Extranet, not just Earth)
(What if there is no record of that person anywhere, anywhen?)
(Star: @Ed: They're still metaphorically in America.
Hunter: Hey.
@Ed: Thent hey can do whatever they want. Yay them.
Star: HEY.
Hunter: /HEY/. This is my conversation. *sighs*))
(Edward - you are still living in council space, are you not?)
(Regardless, if this council of yours wants me specifically to listen, they will have to come here and "assert their authority".)
((Blake means that he's only gonna listen if they can make him <-< - J))
(Hunter I wish to agree with you)
(Yes Sophia but where is the records to show it?)
((Hunter: @Ed: Good. :)
(See that, Star? See that?
Star: *sighs*)))
(What do you think I am doing Blake? I am the person they send to assert their authority - one of them, anyway.)
(I am sorry Sophia, but some people do not recognise your authority)
(You've done a pretty crappy job.)
((Are we really having this argument?))
Well done, Sophia! You've travelled the galaxy, killed some people, and I hope you're happy about the murderer you've become [or always been]
You should be bloody proud. But don't think for a second that I'm impressed by you or respect you in any way.
You're just a thug who happens to be paid by the government to kill people they don't like.
((Whoa I apologise for the hostility. It's just that I've never had a decent argument about Mass Effect))
(Thank you, Tia. I'm a bit to flustered by her to make well thought out arguments like that at the moment.)
(I do not murder, Tia - I kill. Killing is only murder if it is illegal - and I can do it legally as long as a person has broken the law. Most of the people in Blogland are extremely corrupt - some areas of Omega are better than this. And corruption is something I wish to stamp out.)
(You will never be able to stamp out all corruption)
(I can make a pretty good attempt, Edward.)
(Define "extremely corrupt".)
Hunter: *kind of agrees with Blake and Ed and Tia here* *decides to stay quiet*
(S'okay, Blake, I understand that a Spectre pulling a gun on a criminal shouldn't be unexpected, but she overestimates the power and authority she has and I don't like it)
((Though I think you guys are awesome, all of you!))
(*Stands against tree*)
((Hunter: @Tia: Thanks. :)))
(Don't lean against the tree, Edward! It's illegal! A certain Spectre might pull a gun on you!)
- K
(Hunter: *is still leaning against his tree*)
((Whoops totally ignore the K and never mention it again))
(*sighs* Tia, if you really believe that, you are not listening.)
(*Bursts out into laughter* I'm sorry)
(*Goes to lean against the tree with Ed*)
(Hunter: @Tia: 'K.)
(Hunter: *they're leaning against the SAME tree?*)
(*Continues to lean against tree*)
(That tree's gonna write a complaint letter to the Council, so you might as well arrest us now)
Because it is Groot)
(*sighs* Of course it is, Tia. Because all trees are able to write. Stop messing me around.)
(Sophia, if you enforce the law then may I ask as to how I am not wanted?)
(Because, Edward, I know nothing about you nor what you have done - but if you would let me know, I could arrest you if you wish.)
@Tia: :) :) XD XD
And how would the tree write the letter?
I am Groot
I am Groot
I am Groot
I am Groot,
I am Groot. I am Groot. I AM GROOT. I am Groot! I am Groot? I am Groot? I am Groot.
I am Groot.
I am Groot,
I am Groot.)
*Star:
Who watches you, Spectre? If I find out you have murdered an innocent person, you could kill me before I speak out, and the Council won't bat an eyelid. If you want to wipe out corruption, start with the Spectres. Or you'll have another 'Saren' in no time, and this time he'll succeed in wiping out humanity
(Firstly, you will not arrest me. Secondly, apart from trying to destroy time, humanity and the universe among other things I am innocent)
(Hunter: *thinks Tia is going a bit far with this*)
(Saren was indoctrinated. He in no way represents the Spectres. I met him before Sovereign took hold - he may have been cold and calculating, but he didn't wish to wipe out all advanced organic life. That is purely the result of the Reapers. Nothing more.)
(@Ed: That would concern me if there weren't places outside this universe I could take my family...)
(Don't worry Blake, I will try not to destroy this universe again)
(A wonderful idea, as I would be on the long list of people trying to destroy you.)
(Already a very long list Blake)
(I can relate to that.)
(Anyways, now that we're back where we started as far as who has authority where let's talk about something else.)
(You met Saren? Was that before or after he called down an orbital bombardment to kill his brother?)
You still defend the Council? Would you like me to tell the fellow Bloglanders of what the Council did to Quarians?
(Never mind.
@Tia: Story time!)
Back-Zaf
(Hey zaf)
