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.

*whispers into Inky's ear*
I could brute force him, if you like.
Oh look, a new page.
L: most likely.
(Uh...hey Clara as a welcome back present here ya go!
*hands her the dedication rights*)
*shakes head* he is strong, is rather negotiate
He has to be willing
*looks down at the dedication rights, shocked*
. . . why are they smoking like that? Should they be smoking? Are they on fire?
Uh-oh.
*looks down at vixie*
What...should I do?
*vixie looks up happily*
O_O
THE THINGS THAT JUSTIFY THE GIVING OF DEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I totally dislike doing this.)
Mind Mage: You underestimate us. We know about your condition - we will not tamper with your current soul, just add what is effectively a stabiliser - it will do nothing, nor affect your or Ashlea's existence in any way - just keep your soul stable.
(*looks at the dedication rights*
I don't think so...)
. . . Goodness. I have no inspiration at all for this dedication.
. . .
. . . I shall dedicate this page to Vocaloid songs. Specifically to "Party x Party," which I feel is particularly relevant to Blogland.
(VOCALOID!!)
Take me back! If you don't I'll go back myself anyway. Just let me go! My soul is fine!
Trust me, I'm stronger.
(Hear hear)
I'm sorry Trip, I keep relying on you
But how will we get him to cooperate?
I would feel significantly menaced by Twip right now, if he weren't a purple train.
(Hey! Purple trains can be menacing too!)
*sings quietly* We're goin' off the rails, on a purple train . . .
Mind Mage: *connects minds with Silente again, causing her to walk forwards* We both know you are dying.
*approaches another hooded figure* I have her.
Order Member: Good. *his eyes begin to glow white, linking in with Silente's soul* *she will be able to feel a burning sensation - not all painful, but uncomfortable, inside her body*
Ugh. I've been walking around downtown all day and now my legs feel like squish.
I'm not dyin-
*grunts and shifts at the discomfort*
Stop!
*bends down to Vix* will you be a good girl ?
*tries not to cry*
You will see me very soon
(@Clara ow. That sound like a lot of walking...)
Squish [noun]
(sk-wih-sh)
Definition:
1 - A sound popular amongst children.
2 - A violent action against an enemy's intestines.
3 - The feeling in one's legs after a period of prolonged exercise.
Well, the thing is that I was never actually on the rails. Star said so.
You'd be amazed at how cooperative people can be when in immense pain...
*turns to Trip* not him, he wouldn't succumb
Oh . . . oh goodness, Trippalong, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
*tears well up in eyes*
It must be horrible, being a train without rails. Like a student without a university, or an Oreo without milk.
*points at Trip* See?? SOME peopel think my word is worth soemthing!
Order Member: *withdraws from her soul* It is done.
Mind Mage: *presses his amulet and he and Silente appear in Blogland*
Unfortunately, we cannot let you go. You are too dangerous. You know too much.
*connects minds with her* *wipes all knowledge of the order from her mind, she will, however, be aware that she is back to her normal self - but will not be sure who made her that way* *vanishes*
Well, it's because I have these caterpillar tracks. I don't NEED rails.
*read Adra's comment on TL: "Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Cruciatus?"*
*flipped over here and read Silente's comment: "I'm not dyin-
*grunts and shifts at the discomfort*
Stop!"*
*was playing Coin Dozer* *looked up at Silente's comment again distractedly* *read it as "I'm not tryin-" as in "I'm not trying to seduce you" and after a second went WHAT before realising my brain had mixed it up XD*
*blinks and frowns*
What....
*shakes her head*
Leri!
*runs to find Leri*
Whatever makes you feel better, Tripworth. Whatever makes you feel better.
*sad nodding*
@Trip: :O
YOU BE A COOL TRAIN. O_O
*TLC
Then Inky - "*turns to Trip* not him, he wouldn't succumb "
*puts that into the context of my last comment and laughs XD*
I'm inclined to agree. However, we needn't act now.
When Alistair first terrorised us, we spent a long time planning how to defeat him.
We can do the same here.
(sTAR)
@Inky: XD SORRY!
*NODS AT TRIPTC*
(Where is ed? He disappeared?)
Leri: *sat underneath her tree*
(For the record, I do not like this - I may be stopping soon until Dragona is on his own account tomorrow because this is my google account.)
. . . This has been another episode of Misinterpreting Comments, with Star!
(It's going to happen again, isn't it star?)
(Still here)
But you never quite managed it on your own, did you, Trip?
@Clara: XD Yeah.
Seriously, my head is TERRIBLE. It doesn't WORK . . .
@Inky: What is?
!
(Ahh kk
Just coz Inky said for vixie to be a good girl)
(Hello Alistair)
(Okay thats fine Soph.)
*sees Leri and runs over stopping abruptly about 5 feet away from Leri and Ashlea, holding her hands up in surrender*
Leri oh my lord I'm so so sorry I never meant to hurt you or Ashlea and I'm sorry I attacked you and sorry that I scared you and sorry that I tried to kill Ash and sorry for it all!
(You're not gonna start innuendo ing again are you?)
L: well *takes vixie* I suppose a deals a deal.
*shakes* just try and make sure she stays alive
Leri: ... What... Why are you apologising? ... What happened?
@Inky: No. :P
I am not the sort of person who INNUENDOS. I haev innuedoed ONCE in my life and that was the other day. XD
I swear all the Aladra is corrupting me. XD
(Oh yes . . . :)
It's nice having SiletneTC back. :) :))
No Alastair, we need a team.
L: I can't promise anything. However, it will be a change to have a patient that isn't screaming
I'm better now. And I'm sorry okay i never meant any of it. I didn't want to hurt you or Ash or anyone and I'm sorry!
(We should tots play innuendo bingo!)
To be fair, Aladra is delightfully suited to innuendos.
In the end, I more or less did myself in, I think. *shrugs* I'm still around, in any case.
Who are you fighting now?
@Inky: NOOOOO
I WOULD LOSEEEE
(but lsoing can be fun so hmmmmmmmmmmm)
*vixie whimpers a bit* just... Hurry
*turns around*
@Clara: XD
Yeah. :P
Aladra is perf though . . . :O
I GOT COMMENT 666!
(If you're 555, then I'm 666 . . .
#Slipknot)
(Or cards against humanity
I won against my friends)
I remember we all once played Blogland Truth or Dare. That was fun.
Were we to have an innuendo contest, I honestly don't know how I would do. I've never tried.
(Please do not innuendo.)
Leri: ... You're... You're fixed?
L: *takes out a large saw* time to begin
Lament. He took over Ed's body.
And you were not involved involved in your own defeat, I might add.
@Clara: Me neither. O_O
I love BToD . . .
@Sophia: :P Okay.
(This is a good moment over with Sil and Leri and Ash . . . :) :) :) :) *smiling*)
*vixie starts panicking*
I'm sorry ...
Yes and I'm sorry and I know you probably can't forgive me but I still needed to say sorry and will need to do so for as long as I live.
(:O
SilTC . . .)
L: *also takes out several sharp instruments*
Do you want to play BToD?
(I will not let this turn into Frozen, I won't I won't I won't . . .)
We have enough characters between you and me, Star. And as many other people as wants to could join in!
*vixie cries^
I can't watch this
*courches in floor*
*covers wolf ears*
(Trip, ed and Lament are both seperate characters)
Leri: ... You're back to normal? *hugs Silente* ... It... It was James and Erica... Not you...
@Clara: :/
I would accept, but I'm really just procrastinating going to sleep and the wifi will go off any moment . . .
L: *injects vixie with a purple liquid first*
Do you want to play BToD?
It doesn't have to be BToD . . .
Star: I HAVE TO SLEEP, CLARA.
Okay bye . . .
*stiffens slightly at the hug but hugs Leri back*
I'm so so so so sorry..
Ashlea: *watches Sil and Leri with a slightly smile on her face*
@Clara: XD
That was perfect. :P
Yeah - sorry. :/
(Understood)
P*vixie squeals*
*inky flinches*
That's okay, Star!
*cheerfully hugs Star*
Do you want me to sing you a lullaby so you'll fall asleep?
Leri: ... I... I forgive you... Does... Does that mean you're fine with me and Ashlea...?
(Hey El^^)
It's Elleni, my favorite Twitter follower!
*spotlight snaps on above Elleni's head*
(Hey El. Happy? No killing El off?)
Of course I am! I support you..
*looks at Ashlea and smiles*
She's like a little sister...
Hey guys! Been agesssss!!! How are you all? What's going on atm?
Well, I nearly killed myself. In any case. Would I be at all interested in whatever you're doing?
(Heya Rhyd! Been awhile ^^)
Rhydian! My Candy Mountain Ace Unicorn Adventure Buddy Man Friend!
(Hello Rhydian and Alastair.
I've had enough of being a bloody messenger - the conversation will have to wait until tomorrow.)
Hey inky!
Hey Clara!
(Okay then Sophia. Thank you for playing messenger for that length of time.
Hey Rhydian!)
Heyyyy Budddyyy! It's been a while!
*looks at Elleni*
Elleni: *looks at me*
. . . I feel like we're supposed to burst into song.
Herrow Elleni!
Hey Trip!
Hey Sil!
So anything going on atm?
*runs to Elleni's house and knocks politely*
*cant stand the bought of Vixies experiment*
*cant stand to lose Ed forever*
*passes out*
*has a moment of panic*
*can't remember how the rest of the song goes*
*better just improvise, and hope nobody notices*
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR
(iLOvE THAT sONG!!!)
What song is it?
I don't actually know. It's just a lyric I've heard.
*knocks louder on El's door*
(It's called let the bodies hit the floor)
*stammers*
C'MON WE CAN'T DELAY
NO ONE CAN SEE HIM ON THE FLOOR
LET'S GET HIM OUT THE DOOR BEFORE HE CAN DECAY
(Here's what happened -
Zaf tried.
The others interrupted
Zaf failed (may or may not try again I don't know)
Mind Mage fixed Sil)
*shrieks*
LET IT ROCK
LET IT ROCK
BECAUSE WHEN I ARRIVE
I I BRING THE FIRE
MAKE YOU COME ALIVE
(Looks like ed disappeared
And I'm tired
Night night ^^
Be back tomoz)
(cause if she bursts the door down you'd shoot her and she want to apologize for screwing up.)
(I LOVE THAT SONG TOO)
Goodbye, Inky! I will miss you!
(Goodbye, Chloe.)
Yes, I love that song also.
(Miss u too)
See ya Inky!
WE DIDN'T START THE FIYAAAAAA
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNIN'
SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNIN'
Bored. Anyone wanna rp?
I will role-play with you, Rhydian, my friend! What shall it be? Another trip to Candy Mountain?
Dunno? Not to bothered tbh. Just wanna rp...
Candy Mountain?
*hugs El the moment she can fix through the door*
Omg El I'm so sorry about what happened and what I was like and the body and trying to eat you and all that and thank you for letting Sophia shoot me and sorry you trying to shoot me didn't work and I'm so sorry that it happened i swear I didn't want that and I'm sorry about all of it but j hope you can forgive me and sorry for scaring you as well and sorry for being such a screw up!
Yes, Tripwell. Rhydian and I once went on an ace adventure to Candy Mountain. Fortunately, he did not lose a kidney.
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE,
AND WE DIDN'T LIGHT IT BUT WE TRIED TO FIGHT IT!
JOSEPH STALIN, MALENKOV, NASSER AND PROKOFIEV
ROCKEFELLER, CAMPANELLA, COMMUNIST BLOC
I'm sorry about that.
JOSIE JOE, GONE AWAY, *insert name here* AIN'T GOT MUCH TO SAY, SOMETHING SOMETHING GETTING LOUDER, REACHING THE FINAL POINT, NEARLER THERE ALMOST THERE I AM TOTALLY THERE
CHORUS :P
At the warehouse
*shudders at the memory*
I'm sorry...
PLAY ME A SONG
YOU'RE THE PIANO MAN
SING ME A SONG TONIGHT
FOR WE'RE ALL IN THE MOOD FOR A MELODY
AND YOU GOT ME FEELING ALRIGHT
*closes her eyes and hugs El tightly*
Not as much as I hate me.
Hmm. I guess Elleni is the piano man.
*sits and listen to the paino playing looking terrified and upset and guilty*
They...
*frowns*
Erm...
*tries to remember how she was fixed and comes up to a wall*
I...don't know....
Piano person.
Er...
I remember Zaf was there...and Aro...and Hunter and...
*frowns*
And...someone else...who helped me..I think....
Some things in life are bad, and they can really make you mad.
Other things just make you want to swear and curse.
But when you're chewin' on life's gristle, don't mumble, give a whistle,
And this'll make things turn out for the best...
Well, I suppose I'll just observe quietly for now. Perhaps I'll get up to some "antics" or "shenanigans," as the kids are saying these days.
*jumps slightly at El's outburst*
She was messing with my mind...I...something to do with pink and...and...Justin briber? And mortals....
Oh, Trip, you're still here! Hullo! Let's sing a duet!
Why?
*looks genuinely confused*
Gtg now. Bye!!!
Farewell, Rhydian!
Why, what a splendid idea! What shall we sing?
----
*approaches Silente and Elleni*
Zafira attempted to conquer the mortal world with the help of asgardians. Thanks to forward planning this was anticipated and put down, but not without casualties.
Bye Rhydian!
*looks at Trip*
Casualties? Who.
Hmm . . . what duet should we sing . . .
*brainstorms for a moment*
*sings* . . . I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me Castalan, when did you last
Let your heart decide?
No one you know, don't worry. It just took numbers to defeat the asgardians. But we spotters saw it coming. It was all too obvious.
When did I ever tru that?-Zaf
But...wait too obvious...was it a trick?
When you kidnapped Silente and said you had ally the asgardians taking over? About an hour ago?
------
I can open your eyes,
Take you wonder by wonder,
Over and under,
On a magical carpet ride!
We haven't yet located her, we can only assume she is somewhere very remote, or possibly Asgard.
*singing intensifies*
A whole new world!
A new fantastic point of view!
No one to tell us no!
Or where to go!
Or say we're only dreaming!
*singing gets higher pitched*
A whole new world!
A dazzling place I never knew,
But when I'm up here, it's crystal clear,
That now I'm in a whole new world with you!
*voice lowers an octave*
Now I'm in a whole new world!
With you!
Amazing sights indescribable feelings!
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling,
Through an endless diamond sky!
Don't you dare close your eyes!
*makes the "I'm watching you." hand motion*
Hold your breath! It's better!
In her treehouse.-Zaf
I'm like a shooting star!
I've come so far,
I can't go back
To where I used to be!
A whole new world . . .
With new horizons to pursue . . .
Actually yeah I'm on Asgard I'll complicate things.-Zaf
Farewell, Elleni.
I am afraid I must depart. Farewell, Princess Castalan. May we meet again, one day.
(I finished it...)
Do I need to Skype?-Zaf
In a few minutes... My parents are leaving and I got to charge my laptop...
OMG...
Whenever you're ready, Crazy. I'll help you habdke it.-Zaf
I... I don't even...
How is one supposed to live now?
It's over...
One does not, you survive.-Zaf
*huggles*-Zaf
*Huggles back*
Whenever you want assistance in coping I'm here.-Zaf
I've just got to find a pair of earphones...
Haha SEARCH AUSSIE-Zaf
Hi!!
SNOW!
I am having a moment of self-doubt. Come, have some tea with me, and help me hash it out.
Annika! Tea sounds lovely.
*removes a small white box from my pocket*
*sets it on the ground*
*it explodes into a white-clothed table, complete with bone-china tea services and piping hot teapot of Oolong tea*
*two chairs pop into existence beside it, a moment later*
*sits*
*begins to pour tea*
Sugar?
*joins Annika* No, thank you.
What seems to be the problem, Philip?
Ah, see, there it is. My name.
*sips tea*
The long and short of it is that Clara Loquacious Crowley doesn't suit me at all. It doesn't feel . . . what's the word . . . RIGHT, like a taken name should. The Clara and the Loquacious are quite alright; I could even go by Loquacious if I wished. But the Crowley doesn't sit right with me. I'm thinking of changing my name.
What are your thoughts on the matter, my dear Joe?
Dsgzfhgjkl/;yjuk
sorry, my cat walked across my keyboard.
Pick whatever seems suited to you my dear friend.
I do have to go, unfortunately. i have guitar practise. feel free to spam my email with thoughts and queries.
Oh, very well.
*sighs*
Feel free to take your tea with you. The cup is enchanted, and will not spill.
Hullo.
Sorry...
WHAT? WHAT IS THIS? WHY DO I NEED AT LEAST 5 CHARACTERS FOR MY TAKEN NAME? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! THIS IS A SCANDAL! THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!
Hello Duck.
Hello Amethyst.
Wow. That' a long name you have there. Bet you it's over 5 characters long.
I think we broke Rose...-Zaf
What do you mean?
Duck Taasp
1234 56789
Not counting the space.
Rose...?
I love you.
