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.

(I am average. Yourself?)
Insist all you like - it will not make me leave. I will not interrupt, and not cause a problem. I am here to protect Silente, and nothing more.
*loudly* I ain't squawkin if she aint walkin!
Manuel: *sighs* Soph I would rather not have to throw you out.
*sighs* I will wait outside.
Manuel: thank you.
*turn and walks back to his chair, sitting down*
*walks out of the house, standing outside the door - leaving it slightly ajar*
*hugs Silente* I hope you sleep well tonight, then. :/
*isn't entirely certain on the value of 'average', come to think of it, but, okay. :P*
I think I'm good, thanks. :)
*hums*
(Average: Not happy, slightly depressed, a little annoyed. AKA normal and standard.)
*glares at the slightly open door*
Manuel: well then, welcome back miss tempest. I presume your return means you are more stable?
Yep. How are you Manuel? For over the emotional hurt yet?
Manuel: Not yet. How are you?
Tired and irritated.
Manuel: worried?
More like waiting.
Manuel: *nods* for...?
Zaf.
(*hugs El*)
(Sorry, I was distant for a moment.)
*activates her computer and taps on it absent-mindedly*
Manuel: which type of waiting?
The third one I told you.
Manuel: *nods* anything in particular you would like to talk about?
Let me see...I gained a follower. That's new. My friends forgive me. Amber is a fast learner. Zaf tried to rewrite me and I miss Viv.
Manuel: *nods*
I really don't like being followed. People learn secrets when they follow people.
@Sophia: Oh. Hopefully your average becomes a little less depressed and a little more happy in the near future? ^^
Hello, Elleni!
HOw are you doing?
I like your picture, btw. Pretty. :)
[lurks]
Manuel: Secrets are hard to keep aren't they?
You don't even know. Then people follow me and I swear loosing Sophia for even a second is near impossible.
Manuel: *nods* when she is determindedbto stay by you i imagine it would be.
So...hows things between you two going?
(I don't think that's going to happen, Taia.
Hello, Fabi.)
(*high fives Fabi*)
Can still be hoped, though, Sophia. :P / :)
*hugs Fabi*
*hugs again, because, idk, I just feel like that? :P*
:)
Manuel: it isn't. How have your excersizes going?
So she dumped ya?
Manuel: you're getting off topic miss tempest
Oh she did! Well good riddance
(Not until next Monday. I would be doing my homeschool subjects, but I've got a lot of side effects from a stupid mistake... I probably shouldn't be looking at a screen, though...)
[high fives Silente]
[hugs Taia]
[hugs Taia]
(You can hope if you wish. But I have given up on that happening - it does not matter.)
(Really depends on your definition of "lucky"...)
(Anyway, I should go take a nap. Bye)
Manuel: exercizes?
Details.
Manuel: miss tempest I am here to assess you, not the oposite way round
Yeah everythings fiiiine spill!
Manuel: no miss tempest.
HEY SOPH YOU CAN COME INNNNN!
(Hello
My biology lecturer goes to circuits with me)
*sighs, and walks in* Zaf hasn't attacked yet, has she?
Nope. Manuel just refused to spill. Whats happened here?
*gestures between Soph and Manuel*
*sighs* Zafira can't come fast enough. Nothing has happened there.
*sits up properly and pulls on a concerned face*
You know that this is a safe space Sophia, Manuel. It's time we got to the root of your problen and fixed it. But I cant do that if I don't know the whole story.
Manuel: miss tempest I think your session is over
The problem has already been fixed. *grabs Silente's shoulder and pulls her to her feet* We are leaving.
(HI GUYS)
(HEY FLICK! HOW ARE YOU?)
*pulls back from Sophia, grinning* omg I was right! There's a thing here! I knew it! Detail for the love of god I need details!
Manuel: miss tempest it is time you left.
(Hi Soph, how are you?)
(IM GOOD THANKS SIL, U?)
Felix: *rides into the scene* Yo, whassup?
(TIRED BUT REFUSING TO SLEEP CAUSE SOPHIA TOOK THE PISS!)
(Average, yourself?)
Silente, there was nothing anywhere. If you are going to be a problem I could knock you unconscious so you are easy to transport.
(NAWWW
SOPH DONT BE NASTY!
I NOTICED TONIGHT THAT MY BIOLOGY LECTURER GOES TO CIRCUITS WITH ME)
*grins at Felix, voice taking on a slightly seductive tone* hey good lookin.
(I am good Soph)
Felix: *blinks a few times* You have changed your tune
*smirks* Like what you see, eh?
(THATS SO WEIRD!!!)
*to Sophia* liar.
(I KNOW RIIIIGHT?)
*grins still*
Hmm..its not that bad..although its hard to see properly..
(Hello)
No, Silente, I was telling the truth. I really will knock you unconscious.
Whats up with you, vampy? *raises an eyebrow*
(HEY ED^^)
(LIKE SERIOUSLY WIERD...)
And now Blake's here too. What's up everyone?
(Hi, Inky, Sil, Sophia, Blake)
(IT IS, HE DOESNT SEEM LIKE THA TYPE
AND HES THE ONE I HAVE TO SEE ABOUT VETENAIRY!)
(HEYA BLAKE XD)
(hey Ed)
*to soph*
Not what I meant.
*shrugs nonchalantly at Felix's question, smirking slightly* nothin much.
(Hey Ugly.)
Felix: *rolls eyes* Whatever. I have no time for twelve year olds
That's hardly my real age.
(Hey Shorty.)
(How are you, ugz?)
Felix: Yea, well act your age not your shoe soze
(Not bad, shortz. You?)
I care little for what you meant, Silente.
*smiles*
Whatever.
*drops the stupid voice*
If that's what's prefered.
(Hello Elleni)
(I'm okay. Erebus digested Sil....I can't get passed how horrible that would be...)
Felix: *stomach rumbles*
Inky:*sits in bar*
*to sophia*
has Zaf killed me yet? Will she be killing me soon? Please say she is.
*Is snoring at bar surrounded by bottles*
*grins*aww
Ed, time to get up!
(Yeah sorry about that. Actually no, that whole thing was pretty fun.)
*Suddenly wakes* Who? What? Where?
(Hey I need a vote. What'd be more horrible, being swallowed alive or being chewed to death?)
(Swallowed alive because you have to be digested)
It's just me
(I agree with Ed)
(and if you were swallowed alive at which part would you die?)
Oh, what happened to your "friend"
(You would die when you started to melt in the stomach acids)
Zafira hasn't killed you yet, Silente. That's why you're still alive.
Felix: I do to know where he is...
(*nods*
*mentally stores that knowledge for use at a later point*)
Ugh. Damn it.
*pushes Sophia over and runs for it*
*felix?
*Glares at Felix* Would you like a drink?
*freezes Silente with stasis* *catches up to her again* Asshole. Look, you are just making this harder for yourself.
Okay, what's up?
What, me?
*stasis wears off*
I dont NEED a body guard.
Inky: Ed is something wrong ?
Felix: yes, you seem to be pissed
*Incredibly drunk* No, nothing is wrong.
Okay, sweetie *downs her drink*
Felix: *mutters* drunkards
Yes, Silente, you do.
*Has another bottle* What was that Felix?
No, Sophia, I don't.
Felix : oh, nothing
*keeps drinking*
*gets really drunk* edddd! Do you not like Felix?
*Still drunk* W...what makes you say t...that?
*Lands between Sil and Sophia with a slight thud*
One, no she really doesn't. Two, if she did I think it would be better if it was someone who actually cared about her. In conclusion, Sophia, you are not needed here. As usual.
*hiccups* you ... K keep c c chatting an staring at... Hiim!
Or, is I I it the opposite?
*hiccups*
(Im not actually sure why I wanted to know that...)
The last time Zafira tried, Blake, she was taken - so I have evidence to suggest that she does. Do not stand in my way.
W...well I don't trust him
*A random man appears by Felix*
*nods at Blake*
See. Even he agrees I don't need a body guard.
Felix:of course, always blame the demon
Awwww Ed! Don't e nasty ! *hugs Felix* I trust you!!!
Felix: gee thanks, and whose that dude?
I h...have my reasons to not t...trust him.
Man:*Whispers* My master wishes to make an offer you can't refuse
*He stands silently for a moment, weighing the options*
Fine. But only if she's alright with it and not by yourself. I have more than enough "evidence" that says you shouldn't be trusted around Sil.
Felix: ah... Nope. I only work for myself
Naww w why eddy?
Yeah no im not 'alright' with it.
Your evidence is based on what, exactly? When Silente was murdering innocents? Hardly conclusive.
*Gives inky another drink8 Nevermind about it
Man: *Still whispering* I said an offer you can't refuse. *They appear outside the bar*
*drops in to hug the birthday girl*
Happy birthday, Star! Stay awesome! :)
(Hi!)
Felix: this ain't funny man
Aww Ed *hugs him* what's bothering you ?
(hey Tia!)
(HeWwo Tia)
(Also Manuel sounds familiar...)
Regardless, you have her answer. Bug off.
(Hey Tia)
It's n...nothing
*Lament appears in front of Felix and they appear by the lake*
*tilts head at Blake* I do not care what she or you thinks. I will do my job. Getting in my way is interfering with Spectre business.
(@Tia yeah its Friendship Manuel. You remember him right?)
*grins*
Babye Soph.
(Hey...)
Felix: you! *growls* what do you want?
*serious* you can always tell me what's on your mind
Oh yes, because I have such an issue with that. You've got half a minuet to leave.
(Hey Rose ^-^)
(yellow Death)
*wanders over to Sophia* so which laws do I have to break to get you to follow me?
Oh, and I'm not just trying to help you, Sil, I'll get Soph to follow me and then follow you :D
(Hello Death)
I j...just want to protect you Inky.
L: Yes, me. Now, how about I make you an offer
*draws her pistol and aims it at Blake* And you have five seconds.
(*huggles Deathy*)
holy shit.
I need a slap in the face. I feel like shit.
*pulls him in for a hug* I'm a big girl now, I can look after myself
And just for the record, you need protection aswell
Felix: what sort of offer?
((Hey, Rose! How are you doing?))
(I remember Manuel!)
Er....I'd rather not be followed by anyone but...er...erm...thanks Tia?
*Looks at the gun like he's about to laugh*
A gun? Seriously? I survived a massive hole in my side that came with a curse and you think a gun scares me?
*Cuddles Em*
I'll never slap you in the face. Instead, you get a hug!
(Aww Em whassup?)
(Hey, Em! So, what's up? I'm sure you don't need a slap)
*her arms begin to glow blue* You're out of time, Blake. Will you leave or not?
Ah I just feel like shit.
Woke up at quarter to 5, went back, woke back up an hour later and it took me a while to get back asleep so I feel like a wreck today.
*hugs Rose*
*-wait a sec...I could get away while they're all distracted!-*
Oh. I guess I can't follow you then. I... I guess I'll take up birdwatching or something.
*walks off*
(Hello Em)
But I nee to protect you anyway.
L: Well, you don't like the traitor do you?
How about you come with me.
*He grabs her arm and twists it back, aiming the gun away from himself, and hurls her into the air. With a powerful flap of his wing he takes to the skies after her*
But... Why? You need it too!
Felix: oh no! I am not going to be your henchman!
*steadies herself in the air with her biotics* Not going to happen, Blake. *freezes him with stasis, and watches him drop out of the sky*
*lands back on the ground softly*
I return.-Zaf
I'm alright guys, just tired.
Well Emmy, I'm sorry... That would suck... It's 5.15am now but I'm going to stay on. <3 wanna continue...?
(Hey, Zaf!)
Hey Zaf!!
*has, by this point, ran and hidden*
(hey Zaf!)
*cuddles Rose*
(Hello Zaf)
Look, I don't need protecting
L: You wont be a henchman, more of a general. And you take out the traitor and Inky too
(I hereby dedicate this page to Star
She is my older friend on here
And it's her birthday
Penblwydd hapus I ti
Penblwyddhapus I ti
Penblwydd hapus yn y Star
Penblwydd hapus I ti
Happy birthday, from one inky to another)
*She cuddled Loki back tightly and kissed his neck*
You know... If you bring your face a little closer, I can kiss you a lot better...
*smiles* yes you do
Felix: I will not harm her
(Hear hear)
(SHINY'S BIRTHDAY!!!! Happy birthday Shiny!!)
Well *Drinks*
L: Why do you care for her?
*stays crouched low and runs to the lake*
*strips off her jacket and dives in below the surface, glad to be alone, or seemingly alone*
(Happy birthday Star)
(There needs to be a serious limit on that stasis -_-)
*He lands heavily on his hands and knees, a rather annoyed expression on his face as he rockets toward Sophia and grabs her by the throat, and pins her to the ground*
That wasn't really a question.
*waves to everyone* -Zaf
*comes in closer, kissing Rose*
Felix: *faulterz* I promised to protect her
(@Zaf where is ZafTC)
*She giggled and kissed him back*
Ohh, Loki... You cheeky little God...
(Mockingjay Part 1 trailer is out btw)
*awkwardly waves at Zaf during her kiss*
L: Promised who? You will be under my protection
Yes please Rose. After you!
felix: oh what would be in it for me?
(It lasts for less than a minute, Blake. Or can't you take that? I see you're happy to throw people up in the air. You're happy to deal hits, but you're a little cry baby when you take them?)
It was never really an option. *throws him off with her biotics, standing up* *uproots a tree and throws it at him*
((*hgfyg sorry I know that's not how it work, sorry Zaf))
L: What do you want?
()
*She woke with a start. Marrok was still held close to her chest when she shot up after her dream. She whirled, making sure everything was okay before she fell back to the sofa, trembling. She didn't know where Roland was, not did she want him to see her as an emotional wreck now.
She looked at Marrok and let go of her tight grip on him*
I'm sorry, boy... I've just a few bad dreams...
*Marrok sat up on the couch and started to lick her face gently before sitting closer to her.
Roland was coming back downstairs after putting Ariana to bed.*
Roland: Are you okay my love? You have been asleep for a while now.
(Oh I'm so sorry that you're butthurt about the fact I'm too strong for you -_-)
*He simply catches the tree, setting it down beside himself*
What a terrible disregard for nature.
*His arm glows brightly and a large white energy cross flies at her*
Felix: some new clothes *motions to his blood stained clothes*
*keeps getting drunk*
*repo tribute in the bar*
*singer sings come up and try my new parts*
*sings a long*
*sways*
And were not talking for free
A game of give and take
Baby I'll give til I break
But I ain't nobodies fool
This bitch knows the rules
I'll let you fuck my soul
For a hit of that glow
So come on climb on man up
Come up and try my new parts!
Come on and break 'em in!
We both know what we want
Come up and try my new parts!
(Okay expanding on my earlier question about which would be a more horrible way to die,
Being picked up and chewed to death.
Being swallowed alive.
Being crushed under someone's giant sweaty thumb.
Being ground to death under someone's shoe.
Being picked up by the hair and put in a giant morte and pestle thingie then ground up with a load of herbs.
Which are worse?)
Thanks Ed! Thanks Death! Thanks Inky!!!! :) Thanks Tia! Thanks anyone else!
*Drinks some more*
L: It shall be done. All you need to do is get the two of them into that circle over there *Points to circle hidden in grass*
(I hope you're having a good time!)
(Act like a child, Blake, and I will treat you like a child.)
*splays her hand and creates a barrier with her biotics, stopping the energy* *pushes the barrier towards him*
()
*She nuzzled Marrok's neck softly before she heard Roland's footsteps. She looked up at him, spreading her arms wide*
I want a hug... I keep having nightmares... I just-
*She shook her head, her eyes dropping to the floor*
I just want a kiss and a cuddle...
Probably at home...? She usually goes home if she has no work, or the Sanctuary, she says home with Ravel-Zaf
I am, are I not. *laughs*
Felix : hmm, what's that?
L: You don't need to worry about it, just get them to stand in it.
(Is that thing gonna fry me if I touch it?)
(...or you can casually disregard the question...)
Chewed alive!!! -Zaf
Felix: good, someone I actually respect!
*goes off to fetch the others *
Ed, you are quiet today? Wassup?
(Not exactly, no. It won't fry you. It will start ripping you apart.)
L: Good
I am just thinking
(Okay. One person answered at least!)
Well, you're not little... But the rest are true!
*She laughed again and kissed him, pulling herself tightly against him*
(I think they are all horrible ways to go)
(I say Chewed Alive.
@Zaf, familiar for you, isn't it?)
(Being ground in a pestle and mortar Silente)
*Roland sat at the edge of the couch and hugged Rose tightly, not really wanting to let go. He did eventually before he gently kissed her on her lips, his hand trailing down her cheek.*
*arches eyebrow* about what?
Felix: *comes running in* quick you two! I need your help
What is it Fel?
Just come!
*inky goes to leave*
*Follows Inky*
((wbd to eat. I have a question: do you guys tolerate blood and violence? I want to write a few paragraphs about Tia, but I don't want to disturb anyone
