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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 4692 Newer› Newest»*walks between Silente and Lux* Stop.
[Is currently in mid-air]
Alright then. I'll be a good girl and not pick a fight.
[to Viv]
What is it?
(I mean, you think that it would hard to control kids with magic but nope.)
*lets them drop*
Don't trip Sil. That's all.
*turns to walk away*
*looks up from her daisy chains to see the gathering of people*
*gets up and begins to skip over, stopping once she sees the new face*
*finishes a daisy chain before continuing her skip to the group*
@Viv: XD XD XD
[hits the ground rolling]
[Stands]
Sil, is it?
Why don't you tell Sil not to behave in a threatening manner towards me?
I will defend myself.
[Sees that he's walking away]
Oh, alrighty then. So lovely meeting you.
[To Raven] Hello, there.
*stops in front of Lux*
Hello. I'm Raven. Who are you?
*holds out daisy chain*
Would you like a daisy chain?
*turns back*
Sil behaves as she wants, I don't control her.
And your name is?
[Takes the daisy chain]
It's lovely, thank you.
I'm Lux.
[the 'I'm Lux' was sort of directed at Viv as well]
Oh, it's great to meet you Lux.
*smiles and gives her a hug*
*lands on her feet and walks to Viv's side*
*hugs him tightly, turning to glare at Lux*
[hugs Raven, glad that not everyone here has a problem with her]
[sighs]
In the words of a five-year-old, you started it.
Who's your knight in shining armor?
*looks at Sil*
You know it's not very nice to glare at new people. I think hugging works a lot better.
STAR!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE HERE
IF SO: it's your birthday soon, yes?
How old are you, Lux?
Forty-seven.
[She looks about twenty]
Knight in shining armour?
*raises an eyebrow*
He's more than that...
[shrugs]
[raises an eyebrow]
Yes I am, although the shining armor part was accurate.
I'm 26. And technically not born yet. You're a mage, correct? That's why you look so young? What can you do?
Ok, then the armor part was accurate...
(*mornin)
Yeah. He's my prince.
*grins*
And I his queen.
*hugs Viv tightly and pulls his head down for a quick kiss*
Oh, this and that. I can make things glow pretty colors. Want a demonstration?
*covers her eyes and scrunches up her face*
Gross. Don't kiss.
*frowns*
You'll catch cooties or something.
Sure. *points at a nearby tree* Open fire.
[The tree begins to glow with a silvery light if it's deciduous, gold if it's evergreen]
*laughs and sticks her tongue out at Raven*
*kisses Viv again to prove a point*
(Ahem
MORNIN CAMPERS! HYDIE HI!)
*frowns slightly* Does it have any combat value?
(Hi Inky)
(Hey Lux^^)
(Hello, Chloe.)
*frowns*
You two are yucky.
*stares at the tree*
That's sooooo pretty.
(Hello Inky)
(Heya Guys)
It's not an offensive power. I can make things glow in a way that will give me useful information, though. I'm just not doing so now.
[she's ignoring the couple]
[if she hasn't already made enemies of them, she'd rather avoid it]
[after all, she may need their help]
[Smiles]
Thank you.
(How are you, Inky?)
Interesting. I, myself, am not a mage. Being born in 2161 has some advantages where powers are concerned.
(Tired, but good ^^
U?)
*stares at Lux as her eyes widen with delight*
Can you make people glow?
(hey flick)
*laughs at Raven*
Gee thanks.
(Hmm I'm thinking of making a new character
Inky can only rp when Eds here atm
*thinks*)
( hiya Sil ^^ what's ocurrin?)
(Or you could make a 2nd Inky - several people do that.)
(About the same)
Fascinating.
Yes, I can. [The tree stops glowing] [Raven starts glowing a light purplish color]
(Yes but that will confuse my little brain)
What do the different colours mean?
*she jumps up and down clapping*
That's so cool.
*squeals like the 13 year old she is*
This is soooo cool!
*hugs Lux*
You have awesome powers.
(Dinner time guys, bye.)
(Byii Rave)
Everyone has their own shade. Lighter seems to mean happier, but other than that, I haven't noticed any patterns.
[Smiles]
I'm glad you enjoy it.
(Goodbye Raven)
You said your powers could tell you things - what like?
(Nothing really. I'm hiding in bed.)
*walks over to Lux just as smoothly and slowly as earlier*
Well, I can tell who items belong to, for one thing. Or follow where people have been. That sort of thing.
(Same
And listening to club villain
I know what character I wasn't to create up what shall I call them...? It's the names !)
[Sighs]
Must we really repeat this, Sil?
[Raven stops glowing]
(Msd. It's 1:30 in the morning...)
(Kay Lux)
*sighs* Try your power on me - but only to see what the colour is. Alright?
*smiles*
I aint doin nothing.
*her arm begins to glow blue, just in case*
*random guy comes in on a motorbike*
Hello guys
*smiles*
*the stranger has black hair, crystal blue eyes. He has a menacing smile*
(Hey El^^)
*draws her pistol at the man on the motorbike* Who are you?
*frowns at the hand*
*licks it*
The name is felix
*stands up*
*he is really tall and slender*
It isn't nice to point guns at strangers you know
*still smiles*
*shows his fangs*
I have no intentions of being nice.
*walks up to Felix*
*looks at Sophia*
I don't have enough daisies to sprinkle at you, but it's not nice to point guns at people.
*holds out a daisy chain*
Hello. I'm Raven. Would you like a daisy chain?
What is you name ?
*circles soph*
It's common courtesy to introduce yourself first, but because I'm so NICE I answered first
*arches eyebrow* demons don't do daisy chains
*frowns and pops ten daisy chain on his head*
It suits you.
*smiles*
My name is Commander Keating.
*looks down on Raven* it does not
*frowns*
*bows* well commander, what an honour it is meeting you! *mock enthusiasm*
How can you say? You haven't even seen it yet.
*smiles even wider*
It makes you look good. Really goes with your fangs.
*growls, body going tense, and moves from behind El's hand, eyes locked on Felix*
Back. Off.
*hopes the mark on her forehead showing her as an outcast from the vampires to be hunted and killed isn't that obvious*
Mine.
*smiles*
*says in a fake girly tone* you really think so ?
I wish I could say the same, Felix, but that would be a lie.
*looks at Sil*
*grin widens*
Calm down, vamp
I really do.
*smiles like a child on Christmas morning not picking up on the sarcasm*
If you really like them, I'll make more so that you can have bracelets and stuff.
*looks uneasy * no... Thanks but
*takes of chain * I'm allergic
*sneezes*
*quickly tries to work out whether or not he's lying*
You can't be. My discipline is to make flowers allergy free, of course among other things to do with flowers. How are you allergic?
I said back off.
*stalks towards Felix slowly, eyes burning*
Don't worry, Silente, this is under control.
*shrugs* I'm allergic to cutsy stuff
Sorry
*not really sorry*
*turns to Sil*
Make me
*aims her pistol at Felix's head* Here's some motivation.
*moves out of the way*
*gets out Kirikara, a demon sword*
*trails him with her pistol* Drop the sword.
*runs around in a circle*
Don't shoot eachother. Please don't shoot each other.
*screams at the sword*
Don't stab each other. Don't cut eachother!
*laughs* why would I do the when your aiming at me?
And do you honestly think you can kill me with a few bullets?
Gladly.
*tackles Felix, raining down punches on his face, throwing in elbows*
*runs at Silente*
No, stop! Stop hitting him! Please, stop hitting him.
*catches Sils elbow*
*throws her*
I don't fire bullets. Good, hm? There are two options for you - you keep the sword in your hand, and you die. Or you put it away, and I will let you live. Stand down, asshole.
*starts to hyperventilate*
No..no....no. You can't shoot him!
*looks at the fight on the floor*
You..you..stop....hitting....her...and....please...stop....fighting.
*growls* you started attacking me first
*points to Rave* look, you made her go schizo
Put the sword away. I won't ask again.
*rolls eyes*
*withdraws sword*
happy now?
*rolls and comes up in a crouch, eyes still locked on Felix*
*growls again, a low sound that has a tendency to raise goosebumps and send hairs on end, one designed to scare prey*
*arches eyebrow* what have I done to you, vampy?
*lowers her pistol, but still keeps it in her hand*
Don't, Silente.
*shudders at Sil's growl, slowly beginning to calm down the hyperventilating*
Thank you.....don't pick up....your sword again. Owl.....please.....put.....the gun down.
*goes over*
*pokes Rave on the forehead* whats your deal?
*frowns*
Please don't poke me, I didn't do anything wrong. Are you going to attack me? Please don't hit me.
*covers up her face*
So, Felix, what are your powers?
Im not going to attack you
*turns to Soph* Im the only one who can use Kirikara. And I can do this
*summons a blue flame* this is hellfire
What does Kirikara do?
*sighs*
Good. I don't have a deal. Never even thought about signing up with a record label in my life. Do you have a deal?
*smiles*
Oh my..you're a singer!
*blinks* its a sword. It cut things. duh
*looks at Rave* singing isn't my career
*looks at Sophia, not recognising her for a moment*
*slowly straightens from the crouch, still growling at Felix*
*closes her eyes and shakes her head slightly* Could you stop with the hellfire? I'm getting a migraine.
But you were asking what my deal was.
*frowns*
Deal as in record deal...what do you play the saxophone?
*stops fire*
*Ignores Sils growling*
*sighs* nort that sort of deal, I do play drums though
*runs fingers through hair in a vain way* Its quite something
(Shit. I have to dedicate the page.)
*gawks at him*
Drums are cool. Drums are really cool.
*stops for a minute*
What other deals are there?
*opens her eyes* Thank you.
*looks confused* It is just an expression
*stares at him puzzled*
And what does said expression mean?
*sighs* It means 'what is up with you'?
*looks hurt*
Why would something be wrong with me?
You looked like you were having a fit just now
*blushes*
I was having a fit. I don't do violence, violence scares me. There are too many Talons out there who don't realise how nice they are.
You would get along with Leri and Ashlea, Raven.
*smiles* but violence occurs everywhere.
*uses vast hand motions*
The world needs balance, both good and bad.
that's why there is *makes wing movements* heaven and
*grins madly* hell
Oh, please, heaven and hell are things used to scare little children into behaving properly. Nothing more.
I refuse to believe what you say is true. There is good *makes angelic movements* everywhere. I have chosen to see it. You all should too.
*smiles at Owl*
I will make an effort to meet these people.
oh really, commander? I find that incredibly seeing how I was born into hell
*looks at Raven* you will only fall if you chose to be so naïve
(Brb)
You might want a heads up - Leri isn't exactly from this planet. Or this system.
(kay Rave)
At least you'd have had a good heating system, Felix.
(this is who I based Felix off
http://st.gdefon.com/wallpapers_original/wallpapers/371198_paren_okumura-rin_sinij_1680x1050_(www.GdeFon.ru).jpg)
*shrugs* can get a bit stuffy at times
I can imagine so. I presume it was very fiery?
Yes, I like to think satan is a pyromaniac
I don't think I'll fall. I've seen what violence does, I've experienced it too, heck, I even tested my hand at the whole violence thing.
*shudders at the memory of the tortured civilian getting lost in the memory she sighs*
She probably didn't even do anything wrong...
*voice cuts out and comes back and fades away towards the end*
Fingernails.....hot rocks....rat and buckets....I don't even know why I did it....
*snaps back into reality*
The point is, nothing good comes from violence, I have a voice inside my head, she tells me otherwise, she tells me to hit things, to break things, to give up. But I don't listen to her. I get there's a voice in your head, one that tells you, you don't need violence. You should probably listen to it. We all should listen to the good things. It's better to pay attention to all the moments where life doesn't suck, rather than the occasional few when it does.
*looks at Rave* Well, violence can be beneficial at times,
*smiles* just as well you crossed my path then
*frowns*
Violence isn't beneficial.
I'm sorry, Felix, I'm struggling to take you seriously.
I do not generally torture people - those under torture will tell you what you want to know, rendering the information they give useless.
It can get results, or get rid of an enemy.
Anyways, I am positively tame compared to the others...
*shakes head* why am I talking to you guys anyways
laters
*rides off on bike*
*smiles and screams*
Bye Felix! Have a nice trip!
*engine roars*
*does a wheelie*
*drops her jaw*
That was so cool. Did you see that Owl? It was really cool wasn't it?
*holsters her pistol*
*taps Owls arm*
He was a nice bloke. What did you think?
He was a bit of an idiot - clever to stand down, however.
Ashlea and Leri are pacifists - Ashlea is a clone of Silente - the good part of her, and Leri... She's an alien.
*goes to a forest*
*looks up to an ancient tree*
*the smell of animal blood is thick*
*kicks the tree*
* a furious buzz and a massive moth-like creature emerges*
Aha! youre the chuchi that has been terrorizing these forests.
*draws kirikara*
Chuchi, kin of beezlebub. I have sworn my life on putting demons like yourself into an eternal rest.
*Chuchi attacks*
*Felix laughs and slices through the demon with ease*
low level demons
*gets covered in the blood*
*rides out
Aliens are cool. Clones are cool too! Oh my Golden God, when we all hang out we'll be like, half the cast of Star Wars. So Leri can be Yoda, you know, because he's an alien. Ashlea can be a clone, like the droids that the good guys fight, except, there will be no fighting and she'll be a good guy. And...I can be the Millennium Falcon, you know because a Falcon is a bird and I can turn into birds...isn't that cool?
Leri is a she. Leri'Heesa vas Nezyya. She and Ashlea are together, I think.
Together? As in best friends?
No. As in a relationship.
That's nice.
(Well I have things to do now, see you all later.)
(Goodbye, Raven.)
(byii rave)
*rides on motorbike*
*it splutters to a stop*
crap
*spots Soph*
Do you know how to fix this?
Do I look like a mechanic to you?
*eyes her up and down* No, but Im screwed if I cant fix this
*frowns* and I need new clothes
*notices how bad he smells with the chuchi's blood on him*
*sighs* I know how to fix an M35 Mako. I can have a look if you want.
*grins* okay, commander *mock salutes*
*activates her computer, and starts having a look at the bike* I am no expert on this technology. *looks at the engine*
I can.
*waits silently*
I have no patience
*looks at Sil*
have you calmed down?
I was never wound up.
Ah yes, it appears to be the main jet on the carburetor. You need to get that fixed.
*turns to SIl*
*gives her an award winning smile*
Can you fix it for me?
Why should I?
You will have to take it to a mechanic.
*clasps hands together*
Ill be youre best friend
*mocks innocent tone*
*jams a rock in the exhaust pipe when no one is watching*
How bout no.
*sighs*
But I cant go to a mechanics looking like this
What did I do to you?
*shrugs*
Maybe you should carry extra clothes next time.
*stands up* You've definitely got to go to a mechanic.
I just made star the best birthday present. I don't care if its a few days early. (Check my latest post on A Little Crazy)
(Is this a moment where people disappear?)
(Hello, Snow.)
(NO
my computer was being a bitch and restartsed
Hi Snow)
*checks exhaust*
Soph. can you please start the bike. It may be the exhaust
(how are you?)
*looks at the bike controls* How?
*laughs at Sophias inability to start a motorbike*
switch the red button on the handle
*eyes the exhaust*
(I'm good. Feeling really happy about stars present.
Also, we went out for dinner and there was a girl, about 3 or 4, on the booth behind ours and she kept poking her head up over the seat my brother was in and smiling at me. She was so dute and she waved at me when I left.)
You can do it yourself. I have better things to do.
(Awww that's cute
I just want to give little kids cwtchs, their soo dwty)
*rolls eyes*
I just want you to flip the switch
*flips the switch*
*it splutters*
*rock shoots out and hits Felix in the eye*
*grunts* How did that get in there?
I have no idea. Perhaps that was the issue.
*bursts out laughing again*
