Demon Road

It was with much glee that I watched your reactions to the video yesterday.

As for those who cursed me for drawing it out so long, all I can say is... "heh." It amuses me to torture you, have you not learned this yet?

Over the coming weeks and months you'll be finding out a lot more about Demon Road, but I figured I'd answer a few questions now.

For starters, this is NOT the cover.


This is just a nifty holding image we give out so that people can pre-order if they want to. Hence the following link: http://www.pages01.net/harpercollinspublishersltd/DerekLandy-DemonRoad/

The ACTUAL cover, and the new cover artist, will be revealed in due time.

The release date is, as you can see, the 27th of August. Yesterday we said the 28th, but we figured out a way to get it to you a day earlier, and we took it.

Demon Road is both the name of the first book AND the name of the overall trilogy.

It WILL be a trilogy.

The books will be released 6 months apart. This is the way the publishing industry is going, to be honest — especially for children's books/YA. It's a hectic, bruising schedule, which will mean I'm gonna be overworked for the rest of the year, but hey... I'm quite looking forward to it, actually. I always felt bizarrely guilty for making you wait a year between Skulduggery books, so I'm going to see if this way is better.

Ah yes, and it will be Young Adult as well. There's nothing in it (yet) that is amazingly inappropriate for younger readers — maybe a word or two, slipping into older territory — but it's just the overall feel of the thing.

I'm TRYING to write shorter books. I was aiming for a Dark Days length, roughly 80,000 words. I have to write three of these books this year, and I can't have them spiralling out of control like Skulduggery did. I'm currently at 91,000 words. Hopefully I won't go above 100,000, which is roughly where Mortal Coil was. Hopefully.

Right now, I've only signed a contract with Harper Collins UK, which will publish the books in Ireland, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and Canada. Over the next while, I'll be signing with foreign language publishers also — but for most of them, I'll need to show them the finished book. Harper UK trust me enough to sign a contract with what they've already seen of the book as I'm writing it.

There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be published in America as well.

Oh, and yes, I will be touring with Demon Road, but it's far too early to say where.

(I am back, for a short while.

Jaimie, but what if they don't tell you that you're fine? You need to go.)

Draken: *he takes Liliana's hand, also*

Liliana: *they vanish in a flash of black, reappearing outside Berengaria's castle*

Bethany: *she steps out of the cubicle*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello.

Inky Flame said...

(Hello.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*grunts* I never said WHICH Monday..)


Onwa: *looks the castle up and down*
Hmm. I remember here.


*follows her, smiling*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hello Puppet, Kassy.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hello, Jai and Puppet.

Chione Asahina said...

Hello Puppet, Kassy.

I feel like RPing now, but I don't know what to RP or who with or what character to sue...

Inky Flame said...

(There was a new security guard last night. He forgot to wind up my music box.

I killed him.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Gem if you want we could do Jesanna, unless you're wanting to solo.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(You should stop killing the security guards.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Jaimie, you need to go tomorrow.)

Liliana: From Silente?

Draken: I have never been here before.

Claire: You look good, I have to say.

Inky Flame said...

(He should have wound up the music box.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Do not..look I can't feel it most of the time, only when I actually stop and think about it, which probably means it's a placebo or not important. See?)


Onwa: Indeed. She was hyper at the idea of so many books, and nervous at meeting a new person.


*grins*
Doesn't she always?

Inky Flame said...

(You should go to the doctors.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*glares at the puppet*)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey Gem, Puppet, Jai and Soph.

...

How are you all doing today?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Seirsha. How are you?

Chione Asahina said...

I don't know, Jai. Jesanna gets a bit boring as it's not really heading anywhere, you know?
I kinda want an action-packed RP.
Someone start a new RP with me, one of my characters will be the bad guy or something.
Kassy?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I do not care what it is, Jaimie. I want you to go to the doctor's to make sure you are alright. Or would you prefer to leave it until it opens up, when there is a risk of infection which will make things a lot, lot worse?

I will be back soon, now.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

...

I forgot how to rp, Gem. It's been a long time since I've wanted to rp.

*Tanya... stands... or something*

Inky Flame said...

(I must go now.
The restaurant is opening.
Goodbye.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Bye, Puppet!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Bye Soph..
And even if it DOES open up I'm hardly going to die from it!




@Gemma ..Okay.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

So none of you can actually you know, talk, instead of rp?

I guessed as much. And I'm an hour ahead now 4 hours behind England.

-Zaf

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

Hilow to all. :D

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(@Zaf we do talk. We're talking now. Hello. Words are being spoken. Just because we chose to rp while talking does not mean we do not talk.)

Lavender Hope said...

The Girl on the Edge of the World

Standing on the building, she looks towards the horizon, watching the world go by below. It felt good, being up so high, the wind blowing her hair back. She liked it. And yet... And yet she felt a pang of loneliness. She was a queen in her own little world, but a queen with no one to share her castle with. No friends or family. They moved on. She was alone...

(Sorry, this was on my mind for a bit... Just getting it out...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Hi skully.)

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(no longer a ghost or a thing now. nice :P)

Savannah said...

(This will sound so mean, but I have this "friend" and we were best friends until I grew up but she didn't. Then last night it was my other friends party and we had a great time, maybe we were twerking and being a little naughty but we had such banter and it was one of the best nights of my life. I am now allowed to have a sleepover for my birthday in a couple of weeks time but I have to invite that really immature girl. And this will sound SO mean and bitchy but in a way I don't want to because I know that while me and the others are having a good time and acting like stupid teenagers she'll be acting like a stupid five year old and I just don't want her to "ruin" my night with all her silliness (again this sounds ridiculously mean but I just know it will happen and want to avoid it). Maybe last year this would have been fine, we would both be jumping on the beds screaming and doing old bad dance moves or whatever but now I want something more mature and with her there it may not be possible...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*rolls eyes*
Trust me, it probably won't last long. But for now, yes, girl. How are you?)

Chione Asahina said...

I'm still a thing.
Hello SKully
*hugs*
Kassy come on...we can plan something.
You can take over the world.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Zaffy and Skul.

Savannah said...

(Hey Kas and Puppet, I'm great thanks!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*hugs Seir*
It's not mean.. it's understandable.)

Savannah said...

(O_O

I just read what I posted and I just sound so mean... )

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Gemmy, you're not a thing. You're a person.

And idk. I just don't feel like rp'ing. I just don't. I used to be enthusiastic about it. Jumping into every rp I could. But honestly, I've felt this way before I even created Vaiion. I just don't feel like it.

Savannah said...

(I just don't know what to do because we'll be talking about boyfriends and stuff and she'll take it all as a joke and and do her awful laugh and URGH it just annoys me so much. She just embarrassess me most of the time and normally I just don't want to be seen with her.)

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(I'm perfectly good at the moment, and it makes me happier to be getting a hug :P *hugs*, you are a perfectly good thing indeed better than most things, I met a thing the other day that didn't even exchange pleasantries it just attacked me and I had to punch it in the face several times. :P)

Star Inkbright said...

When you're your age, Seir, you get more 'mature', but when you're sixteen you'll probably be behaving like you're about five again, trust me . . .
Idk. Think about it seriously - what's worth more, her feelings or your enjoyment? I know that makes it sound like not much a choice, but it's a genuine choice to me. Can you pull it off without hurting her, or will she inevitably bw hurt? Another question.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Star.

Savannah said...

(I'm such a selfish bitch - don't tell me I'm not, I really don't care if I am but I would actually go so far to say I would rather have a great night to celebrate and not be friends with her than have an awful night and still be embarrased by her every day. I ,ran, I just admitted it and I don't even feel bad... :/ Wtf is wrong with me...
If I just didn't invite her she would be upset that she wasn't invited but I have to invite her because my mum will make me. And if she does come... I don't even want to think what would happen...)

Star Inkbright said...

See, there's a few girls me and my friends avoid because they just want to have boyfriends instead of behaving like five-year-olds and having fun . . . we chased off a few in our friendship group because they found us too embarrassing, actually.
Also, I hate boyfriend talk.
O_O
Oh my gosh.
You and me are clearly incompatible.

Well, look, if you are incompatible as friends, you might want to breaj it off quickly. I've spent rour years being friends with people I'm incpatible with, and from experience, it doesn't get better with time. Just drags it out.

Star Inkbright said...

Seriously. If you're not incompatible with friends, endimg the ftiendship could be adviseable. Not a decision to take lightly though . . .
And, yes, you are selfish, but veey few people would be less selfish in your situation.

Star Inkbright said...

Although there can be more to people than you think. People who seem ridiculously immatuee can bw sueprising intelligent.
. . .
I don'y think I'm helping.

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

Hello testing out the A as I forgot what it does

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

it does nothing ?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Skully the A is a hyperlink.)

Chione Asahina said...

*Hugs* Thank you skully...
That was a very nice thing to say.

Savannah said...

(I don't like boyfriend talk either, it was just an example. ;) Also, behaving like five year olds occasionally is fine, last night we were being a bit stupid and immature, but I know she'll take it too far, she has before and always does. Also Star, I doubt you're that bad.
So what are you saying I should do? Sometimes we have a great time and she can be mature, but 90% of the time I don't want to be seen with her...)

Star Inkbright said...

Ah, I see . . .
Maybe try and explain it to her in a neutral democratic tone?

No, I'm not that bad, brcause I'm too beutral to hit people with my schoolbags. :P

Chione Asahina said...

My arm bloody hurts...woke up this morning and I could hardly move it.
Damn that Collette...
Although I did drag her across the floor...
But she was hugging onto my leg...

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(ahhh yeh lol thanks just because i'd used the b and I before but not the a in ages so I forgot.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Why was she hugging your leg? XD)

Savannah said...

(What, so I go up to her and say, I'm sorry but you embarrass me? I suppose I don't want to hurt her feelings, I just don't want to be her friend. (Wow that sounds mean.))

Chione Asahina said...

Um...I can't remember...
She was hugging onto me and taking me to her side of the square, donating me as a skeleton to the school...then she got her midget minions to join in...then she took me back to my own side and she fell on the floor but kept clinging on, so I dragged her around the floor trying to get her off of my leg.

Savannah said...

(And also, when I took selfies with people yesterday we were all smiles and the occaisional pout, but with her she always does cheesy grins and silly faces with rolled eyes and tongues out and things I grew out of when I was three. Then she goes ahead and posts them on ig or Facebook and everyone says to me "why do you even hang out with her, she's so weird..." And sometimes I actually have to agree...)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(xD midget minions?? I want midget minions xDDD)

Lavender Hope said...

*is feeling in a wolf mood*

Probably because she likes having you as a friend?

If people think she's weird, I don't think she'd have so many friends...

Or friends her age.

Sorry...

*shuffles and lies down*

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

Awww I'm the skeleton and is she the magnificent manager of the midget minions making them manifest.

Savannah said...

(Right, I've found the thing that sets her apart from my other friends, when we take stupid selfies or whatever, we do it as a joke, when she does it she genuinely thinks it's funny.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Hope*

Lavender Hope said...

*wonders if it would be 'lies' or 'lays'*

Savannah said...

(Got to go, bye everyone, sorry, I promise I'm not usually this much of a bitch! XD

... hopefully...)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Bye, Seirsha. You're not a bitch.

Lavender Hope said...

*gently licks Kas's cheek*

*rests her head on her paws a few moments later*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*gently strokes Hopey's head*

Chione Asahina said...

Bye Seir, you're not a bitch...

They were like first years...
it was split into 2 groups.
Straun, Keiron and I (the tall ones)
Then Collette -who's older than me- who was the smallest out of the group and 2 first years. I think they were both first...maybe 2nd. But yeah.
So it was the tall people vs the small people.

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(lies? I don't think lay gets an s ?Then again I'm not good at grammar :P)

And neither Struan nor Keiron helped me. ;-;

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Yo Storm! Hey Lav!))

*she continues walking for a while, fighting back memories, but eventually she falls to the floor*
*the flashbacks are coming thick and fast,an overload of thought and color and sensation and it's only a matter of time before she loses control*

(MWAHAHAHA!!! MIDGETS FTW!!!)

Lavender Hope said...

Oh who am I kidding.

*runs to KesTA and jumps to her hind legs, putting her front paws on Kes's shoulders*
*licks her like crazy :P*

*also doesn't know anything that happened in KesTC's story so has no idea how to actually play along*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*a chair, in a cold, dark room*
*blood on her hands and flesh in her teeth*
*a needle in her arm, giving a mix of pain and pleasure*
*long nights alone in alleys, slowly dying*
*tearing her skin off, not knowing what she is doing, or why*
*she lets out a whimper*
*nothing more*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
*steps out from behind Kes, crouching beside her*
Kessy..?

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((*laughs, and pets Lavender Wolf*

Yeah, I've got no clue what's going on either, so feel free to join in however you want. She might try to kill you though, just a warning.))

*there's something at the edge of her mind*
*a muffled shout, a suppressed whisper*
*she doesn't know what it is, and she doesn't want to*
*but the barriers she put up so long ago are breaking down*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*flinches back from the sound of a voice she does not recognize*
*when she turns to face Sil, her eyes are black*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
Crud.
*fumbles at her pockets, producing a needle, the symbol on her forehead, the one declaring her to be prey, casting a faint glow*
*grabs Kes's wrist*
This'll hurt, okay?

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*long nights with no food*
*but the needle is there, always the needle, never enough*
*and she is starving, slowly starving*
*but it doesn't matter*
*pulls back*

Lavender Hope said...

*pants happily, lowering herself into a sitting position*
Thanks for the offer, but I'll just watch. Also, I sort of have to go now. Sorry.

*pads away into the woods, vanishing in the shadows*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*just watches*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
Kes come on!
*grabs her wrist again, stabbing the needle in quickly*
*presses the plunger, letting go and yanking the needle out*
*draws a small dagger, making a cut across her palm*
*offers it to Kes*
Go ahead.. drink..

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Bye Lav!))

*the whisper at the edge of her mind is getting louder*
*Or...not louder, exactly, but clearer*
*almost like a picture*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Bye, Hopeywolf!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Bye Lavy!)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Kes, drink..

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Storm, just fyi, this has nothing to do with needing blood, and if you let her have some of yours right now she'll probably go insane))

*the whisper breaks through for a second, bringing images of blood and death and the taste of copper*
*and then t is gone again*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I know, but Sil is trying to help.. she just doesn't know how to..)

()
Kes dammit!
*slaps her hard with the cut hand, hissing slightly, leaving a smear of blood on Kes's face*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Okay, cool.))

*she flinches back, not even trying to defend herself*
*knives and ropes and needles and pain*
*she smells the blood on her face*



*and the whisper gets through*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
Kes snap out of it!
*places a hand either side of her head, studying her eyes*
Come on.. focus.. snap out of it..

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*it brings with it memories of a man with no face, tying her to a chair*
*memories of years of injections*
*memories of almost being proud to be the one they had chosen, the one they would make a vampire without a bite*

*and then, when it succeeded, the bloodlust so strong that it drove her mad, for a time*
*a time during which she killed the first girl she had ever called a friend*
*a time during which she had danced in her blood*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
Kes.. Come on..
*watches her, trying to find a reaction*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Shh.. it's okay..
*hugs her gently but firmly*
Come on Kes. It's okay.

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Thanks.
*reaches into her pocket, starting to wrap her arm up, grimacing slightly*
Kestrel, what happened?

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*she runs from the scent of blood*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

()
Kes!

*Sigh*
Bored...
*Hugs into her covers tightly*

Lavender Hope said...

Meh, being a wolf was getting too confusing for me.

*offers hugs*

Lavender Hope said...

Huh. All things considering, those ears could very well be dog ears as much as cat ones.

Chione Asahina said...

Stuff it, i'm taking over the world.
I'm bored.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*hugs Gem, Jai and Hope*

If anyone is bored, I could recommend some films.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*is sitting outside Trip's pub*

Chione Asahina said...

GREETINGS MORTALS!

*Rises from the darkness and forms over Blogland*

I have taken an interest in this world you call "blogland" And am deciding to take it.
Now, you can either give it up nicely, which would be great...


*Grins*
Or I take it by force...

Lavender Hope said...

Probably can't watch, as it's late for me, But I actually wouldn't mind the world being taken over.

Also, if you had used my real name, all of our names would start with a G sound. :P

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

I'm sorry But I won't let that happen, or I'll have a bone to pick with you.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Good night, Hope! :)

Hey, Skully!)

Lavender Hope said...

*waves to the demon, kinda answering it in her last comment*

Sorry, I'm bored too, but not in a mood to try and save the world. :P

Lavender Hope said...

*waves to the demon, kinda answering it in her last comment*

Sorry, I'm bored too, but not in a mood to try and save the world. :P

Chione Asahina said...

*Glares and appears in front of the skeleton*
Actually, you have 206 bones to pick with me.
And you can certainly try.

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(hey kassy)

Lavender Hope said...

Ah, Mr. Pleasant is here. That works.

*pokes Kas gently, though teasingly*
Not goin' to sleep yet. :P

Chione Asahina said...

That's fine, Mortal. One less person to fight.

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

*tilts head* and I will pick every one with you if you challenge me, but you will not like the outcome, and then we shall she who is mortal .

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(*cuddles Hopeymoth* okay :)

*goes towards the noise she heard earlier*

Lavender Hope said...

*nods*
Glad I could be of some help.
*finds this amusing*
I was considering helping you take over, but I think I'll just sit and watch.

Or be distant and watch, as it happens.

Lavender Hope said...

Skul, I think that mortal comment was for me.

Chione Asahina said...

Well you certainly aren't mortal.
You're just a formation of bones like the rest of them.
You may as well be mortal though.
NO ONE will be able to face me.

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(^it said mortals placing it's self above everyone I'm making a point that if it tries to take over I don't have a problem killing it.)

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

*chuckles whilst cocking head* I may be a formation of bones, but I am no ordinary formation of bones. The number of times I have helped save this planet is uncountable . I will face you even if it means dying again!

Chione Asahina said...

Nothing is uncountable.
You can count everything, including the limited amount of time you have left to be undead.
*Shadows rise behind him and form a pillar of darkness*
*It comes down and strikes the skeleton in the chest*

Lavender Hope said...

@Skul: yeah, okay. But I /am/ a mortal so technically it was true. :P
*is just being silly, you don't have to respond to this*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

*observes the skeleton and the necromancer*

Are they both necromancers?

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

*stumbles back* It's more time than you have. *clicks fingers generating a spark and turning it into a fireball*
*flings the fire ball towards the demon* be gone foul Demon !

Chione Asahina said...

*Effortlessly raises it's hand and blocks the fireball with a shield of shadow*
Are you really going to attempt to stop me?

Lavender Hope said...

@Kas: Skul is sort of both? Mainly elemental.

I think a demon is just a demon, but they have certain properties that make them special.

Also, *freaks out* It's already midnight?! How's the time fly so fast??

Going to bed now! Night guys!
*hugs the authors*

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

Of course I am *Sends twin streams of fire into the shadow barrier*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(I meant that necromancy = death magic, and a walking skeleton is obviously necromancy. *hugs Hopey* good night!)

*approaches the skeleton and demon*

Hello there.

Chione Asahina said...

(Bye Lav! *hugs*)

That's somewhat disappointing...*The shield stays up*
*Seemingly teleports behind the skeleton*
*Shadows take him off his feet and hang him up-side-down*
*His hat falls off and the demon places it on his head*
I think it suits me better, don't you?

Chione Asahina said...

*Looks over to kas*
Hello mortal.
*Looks back up at the skeleton*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

What seems to be the problem? Can't you two control yourselves?

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(I am back.)

Liliana: Do you like books?

Claire: I suppose. Are we getting the Toyota now?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Welcome back, Sophia.

Chione Asahina said...

I'm trying to take over Blogland and he's getting in my way.
So he can stay up there.
*Slinks towards kas*
Are you going to try and stop me too?

*Aria comes out of no where, looking for Skulduggery*

(It's Tanya. Kas is not a character XD)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Depends, stranger. Blogland is mine. You have nothing to offer me.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(Mm.. this book is cool.)


Onwa: I enjoy knowledge..


Yes were getting the yucky car now.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Jai. What book?)

Star Inkbright said...

I HAVE MY ROOM BACK.

And we had tbe best canon merge /ever/ on Whatsapp.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Draken: And books contain knowledge.

Claire: Yay!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(HereAfter. *nods*)

Onwa: Indeed. Therefore I suppose one could say I enjoy books. However reading them is unnecessary.


*rolls eyes*
Come on Beth
*smiles*

Chione Asahina said...

Why do you presume I have nothing to offer you?
I can build you an army. I can make people listen to you.
That's what you want, isn't it?
For people to recognise you, to notice you.
I can make that happen.

Aria: *Notices Skulduggery*
Skully!
*Runs towards him*

Like this girl for example, I will use her as a test subject. Would you like to see what I can do?
*The shadows grab Aria by the limbs and hold her up-side-down too next to the skeleton*

Aria: Ahhh!
*Thrashes about*
Let me go!

*The shadows tighten around her limbs and cover her mouth*
I do wish she would shut up... She's a noisy one...

Star Inkbright said...

I can also add 'Kaladin saying wise things' to my earlier list.
I know I'm not roleplaying him perfectly, but I'm very proud of the job I'm doing. :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(*huggles star*)

Star Inkbright said...

I haven't heard of that, Jai.

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Jai :)*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(It's a good book..
ALTHOUGH..
Its plot so far revolves around a necrophilia style romance.. (ghost x 'seer' aka human))

Star Inkbright said...

@Jai: :P

Star Inkbright said...

It's weird having no blinds . . . I can see out at the whole street. :O
*will have to be rather careful when getting changed*

Chione Asahina said...

(Change under your covers, Star.
Kassy, I would wait for skulduggery after your reply. It seems he's poofed.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(It's a good book, but also (if you think about it) a slightly disturbing book..


Star!!! XD)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Draken: Not in this case. *he knocks on the door of the castle*

Bethany: I'm here, I'm here. *she smiles*

Star Inkbright said...

I get changed unxer my covers when I stay in youtj hostels . . . but now I think I'll just get changed whilst sitting under the window, presumbing no one puts my mirror at the other end of the room up.

I've read a few disturbing books. :P

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: *scowls slightly at his back, shifting closer to Liliana*



*smiles back*
*leads the way to a car shop*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Sorry for poofing. Yeah, Skully poofed :/)

Star Inkbright said...

Also, Kas, as someone who roleplayed for the first time in months yesterday, I can tell you that it's not as hard as it feels before you start.

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Liliana: *she takes Onwa's hand as the castle doors open* *Berengaria is stood in the entrance*

Berengaria: Hello, Liliana and her various associates.

Liliana: Girlfriend and brother.

Claire: *she grins, practically running to the shop*

Bethany: *she takes Silente's hand*

Star Inkbright said...

*attempts to find motivation*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(Hello, Star.)

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[Gives Star a map to motivation]

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

("This winter, I'll do my best to avoid getting ill."

*gets ill in March* -_-

*hugs Star* What's up?)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Hey, Fabi.)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: hello, Berengaria. I pleasure to finally meet you as myself.


*laughs, walking after her*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

(It is spring, Tia.)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(Exactly... Made it through the winter, just to get ill in spring.)

Chione Asahina said...

(Kassy, you can reply the now but i'll wait till skully comes back before replying.)

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Berengaria: *she tilts her head a little* As yourself? Have we met before? *Onwa, Liliana and Draken feel all calm and relaxed around her*

Bethany: It's nice to see her excited, at least.

Star Inkbright said...

Ooh!
*takes map from Fabi easily*
@Kas: Me!
:P
Well, we've sanded the floor, painted the ceiling, moved the bed to a corner of the room, painted all the floor that the bed wasn't in, painted it again sic hours later . . . that was last night so then I went to sleep in my sisrer's room, then at eight this morning we painted the skirting boards, then we wallpapers two walls, and now we've moved my bed back (so I can get in it, so I'm 'up' again . . . my jokes suck :P) and given the rest of the floor a coat of paint. We'll give it a second coat tonight.
What's up whete you are? :)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: I have met you before, however you have never made my acquaintance.


*smiles*
It is..

Star Inkbright said...

*studies motivation map harder*

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Berengaria: So whom were you when we met, however? *she tilts her head* This phenomenon has never been written about by the Aztrayans or the Theraldians. And the only people I have spoken to apart from that would be Bethany and her girlfriend Silente. Silente comes from Earth, and given the fact you are speaking English, it would coincide. However, the dirt on your shoes is unlike any seen on Earth, as shown by the grain size and mineral abundance. So on that note, and the rumours of a new realm popping up, I would guess that you are a voice, no, a personality, from within Silente's mind who has created their own realm. But given the energy levels required to do so, you must have done so with another individual. And because of the fact you three appeared at the same place at the same time, I would estimate it is one of the two with you. But because of your your relationship with Liliana and her thirst for power, I would say that it would be her... Which would make you Queen Onwa, correct?

(I will be back soon.)

Star Inkbright said...

((Oh my gosh, Berengaria is Sherlock. O_O))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: *smirks*
That would indeed be me. You're quick to work out problems and puzzles, clearly. I commend you your connecting skill.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(xD)

Star Inkbright said...

((I've got tp tginking about Sherlock now.
Does anyone else watch BBC Sherlock?))

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

(I... sorta watched some? Not big on tv.. *rattles the book in her hands and waves the phone* between these and homework I haven't the time.)

Savannah said...

(Back.)

Star Inkbright said...


((Because we revently watched the first Sherlick episoee for about the third or four time, and then we watched itvagain about a week later with my brother, and like, the first time or two I read books I read it from tge perspective of the cgwracter it's written from . . . and then later on I look at it from other charactr's perspectives. And yeah, so usually I watch the episode as John, but these time or this time I watched ir as Sherlock, which was rather interesting.))

Commander Sophia Keating (N7 Operative and Council Spectre) said...

Berengaria: Thank you. Please, come in. *she steps out of the way*

Bethany: Right, so what should I say?

Star Inkbright said...

((Well, I'm not big on TV but you NEED to watch BBC Sherlock.))

Chione Asahina said...

(I have the 1st and 2nd season on DVD, Star)

Savannah said...

(Sherlock. *fangirl attacks*)

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Onwa: *steps over the threshold, pulling Liliana with her*
Thank you.



Go to a sales person, ask if they have the car. If they do, buy it.
*hands her a wad of cash*
*a large wad*

The Vile part of Skulduggery Pleasant said...

(really really sorry bout that) A challenge.... good, not had one of those in a while .... Ariadne stay back .... Let her go and take off my hat now !It does not suit you better. *absorbs the shadows that are dangling him and Ariadne into his suit, steady streams of darkness entering his bones and crawling over his sleeves* What kind of foul darkness is this, it's powerful but horrid. * drops to the ground as black armour starts to bulge it's way through until he is completely covered in shadow.* No one takes my hat and my friend prisoner at the same time without consequences. *flicks his wrist and a tendon of shadows flicks his hat back towards his armour, it lands perfectly on his helmet and is absorbed on to his skull below* There that's better, now we can fight.
