Desolation

I'm working hard. Writing fast. Deadline's looming. But while I work, other people have been working too, such as the awesome folks responsible for the covers...

And so, without further ado...

(Sorry for the copy and pasting, guys lol I gotta leave this here. I need to get this noticed. Don't let me interrupt your thread.)

Hey, Derek Landy! I've been trying to get a hold of you, and I know you're busy with super official writing and stuff, so I don't blame you. Unfortunately, this is one of the only ways I can contact you. (I tried tweeting you, but it's very hard to explain yourself aptly in 140 or less characters...) I know the chances of my message getting lost or not addressed in time is exponential, but I need to try.

I was wondering if I might be able to get an interview with you (over Skype or perhaps over the phone?

My name is Cassidy Foulds, and I'm a student at Conestoga College (Kitchener, Ontario) in the Journalism Print program. For our final project (which is due, unfortunately, November 18th), we're supposed to interview a journalist we admire. Even though I'm in a journalist program, I don't have a journalist that I'm particularly fond of (other than Jon Stewart or John Oliver, but... you know how that is). So I wanted to see if I could get a hold of an author that I admire, instead.

Skulduggery Pleasant is probably the largest inspiration for my 'career' as a writer, for my love of old Bentley vehicles, and for the level of sarcasm that I've always strived for. Though it would be extremely stressful and scary, it would also be an honor to get an interview with you.

If you're at all interested, or you just need more information, please email me at cbnfoulds@gmail.com. I will also be willing to give you more contact information through private email if you need it.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you see this, ha ha...

Aquila Felis said...

Meeeh, cholera is pretty easy to treat in Europe. Besides it's a strain used for vaccination, so it doesn't produce toxins. Worst case I'd get horrible diarrhea and I'd throw up for maybe a week or so. ;P
... and I'd have to fail washing my hands or directly drink a solution of living cells to catch it. Like... not gonna do that. XD

Aquila Felis said...

Hi Inky! ^^


And yeah, it would not be pleasant - but it's still only S2. Like... E. coli is an S1 organism. Vibrio cholerae is an S2 organism. S3 would be Yersinia pestis, which causes the black death. S4 is Ebola, for example.
It's fairly safe. ^^

That would depend on when they made the decision to ban a burqa (first of all, wow, how fucking racist)

But if it was just recently, then no- there was no way. This thing has been planned for months.

Sorry for poofing - how's everyone else?

Anonymous said...

( answer me this... whats worse? "this message will make keiron sound bad probably"

being a little racist now to bring about gender equality in places where the burqa exists because It literally brings a barrier between genders and some places they still are not aloud to vote, drive and other things? big woop we'll see their faces ect we're used to seeing other people, and they get to see us.. I know it's like kinda a part of their religion too ... but ughhhh c'mon just get with the times... everyone just c'mon lol like no blowing people up, no wars, just pull out of their country and stop going into new ones, unless they pose a threat to you like an actual threat... like we are about to send a nuke your way kinda threat, I've lost my train of thinking.... ummm anyway equalitarian/ human rights movement you know everyone is equal because the only race is the human race and ethnicity is no barrier why should gender or love be either... )

Inky Flame said...

sayyyy

how many of you like the ocean? show of hands!
its pretty wet, huh?

well how many of you like fishing?
that's right, nobody
cause its so boring!

spine: oh I don't know rabbit, it can be relaxing for some people

but how many of y y y you like fighting skeleton pirates on the back of killer whales?! oooooooh!

well I know a guy who does that for a living

Jon: oh is it me?

No its not you Jon! you don't have the sea legs for such an endeavour
gotta trade in those B legs!

Spine: that was a pun

that was a pun
its only the greatest sailor that has ever set sail!
captain albert alexander!

... you have no idea who he is do you?
well let me explain

hes kinda like if you took the hulk and the spider man and some how mutated them into one identity

Spine: oh how I love the amazing incredible spider hulk

Jon: I didn't know you can do that

Spine: yeah, its called a hybrid

well captain albert alexander would totally defeat that guy in an arm wrestling match

Jon: say what?

im just saying

Jon: Say what?

im just saying

Jon: say whaaa *the robots shut down before coming back to life*

Spine: *sings while rabbit dances* When he was a boy
he wanted to play
down by the sea

At age thirteen
everyday after school
he would always sail around the lake

All the people would stand and stare
as he sailed around with precision and care
With his bi-corner hat and the way he would stand
he looked just like a Navy man
All the townsfolk would gather and say, and sing away

Captain Albert Alexander
He'll be a brave seafarer someday
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in the waves

By age twenty four
he had left the shore
and was sailing for the Queen

On a dark starry night
Albert awoke to the sound
of his Captain screaming as he was drowned

The Navy crew was taking a lick
pirates had invaded the ship
But Albert with one aimed harpoon
ignited their rum with a spark and soon
flames drove the pirates away
the Navy sang

Captain Albert Alexander
Saved his crew from pirate slaughter
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in the water

Now everyone dance
Dance. Dance.

Twenty some odd years later
On his ship The Sea Slater
He sailed into a mass of blubber

Gazing up to the sky
stood a large walrus
that was a hundred stories high, it meant no harm

The walrus was in a great deal of pain
It suffered from a tusk with tooth decay
Albert threw his anchor 'round it's tusk
with a little bit of pulling it was out by dusk
The walrus thanked Albert and sang, as he sailed away

Captain Albert Alexander
Friend to sea urchin and me
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in the sea

At a ripe old age lightning struck from the sky
and split Albert's vessel in two
One hundred men fled for their lives
on rafts across the ocean blue

Albert stood at the stern of his ship
A giant octopus had him in it's grip
A vortex of spiraling death below ripped
and sharks and electric eels all made the trip
to see Albert
sink to the bottom of the sea

Just before he went down
he called out to his crew
It's obvious that my time has come
I'll let this ending ensue
I've led an exciting nautical life it would seem
and there's no better end than a death by the sea
His crew sang

Captain Albert Alexander
He went down in the sea
But that Captain Albert Alexander
He'll go down in history

That Captain Albert Alexander
He went down in the sea

(welcome back sis!


all I have to say everyone has the right to believe and do whatever they like... as long as it doesn't impact anyone in a negative way

you get people who are all 'women can do what a man can do!'

and I believe women should have that opportunity

however there are women who like the idea of fulfilling the more... traditional role)

Aquila Felis said...

.. I read a really, really good article on the whole islam thing just today. Apparently 35 years back, terrorsits attacked Mekka. You know, the place where muslims go for a pilgrimage-like thing. The response back then was to 1) kill the terrorists and 2) appease the radical minds behind it. So it all just went more strict, a third of the lessons in school were now about Islam, stuff like that. And that has had time to spread now.
And the Islam that was there before, that was rather open and tolerant, just doesn't know how to deal with it. And is losing ground.
... I don't care if someone claims it's 'racist', I think it's only racism if you thin you're better than someone, solely based on where you're from. As far as I care, every woman that wants to walk around like a black version of a halloween ghost may do so - but every man demanding women HAVE to walk around like that should get laughed at. Just that. Laughed at and then ignored.
Hrmph. ;P

Noelle said...

How ignorant.

The burqa is not an emblem of gender inequality. Women were the burqa to be a part of their religion. Only in the far Middle East, in places like Pakistand and Afghanistan, are women to wear the full garb.
I visited Turkey this summer, and most Muslims around Europe and inc ou tries near Europe are given the choice whether to wear the head garb or not.

Women CHOOSE whether or not they want to wear the head garment.

No one- NO ONE- has the right to tell people what they can and can not do. Women of that faith understand the religious significance of the head garb, and those women might agree with its use. For example, in the Western world, most women accept the cultural significance of wearing dresses. However, dresses in no way objectify women, or are "a symbol of gender inequality", despite their being the only clothes women could wear in the Middle Ages. Wearing a dress does not propagate gender inequality- in the same way that wearing a burqa does not.

How dare you try to tell me that it is okay to try to force Western beliefs onto those women.
I have mane Muslim friends- women- who would be disgusted in what you have said.

Islam is in the middle of adjusting to the modern world, as Christianity has done. Amidst this time, women have choices of what they can and cannot do in their religion. How dare you try to strip them of their right of choice under the semblance of Feminism. That is not Feminism.

If you were a true proponent of Feminist beliefs, then you would agree to allow women freedom of religion, and expression of that religion.

Just, Jesus fucking Christ, this is so ignorant.

You're a white male too, aren't you? What can you possibly have to say about Middle Eastern women?

Basically, if the parliament made the decision without the consultation of actual Muslim women, then it is WRONG.

Inky Flame said...

(*nods at Noelle* That's a vry good point ^.^)

Aquila Felis said...

Noelle - just that if your point is the only one you allow people to voice, you cause problems for the women that actually ARE forced to cover up.
Just... maybe don't voice your opinion as the ultimate truth? And, Islam was just fine - it's only turned radical lately. Most of Astronomy and Mathematics we credit to Greece originated in islamic countries.

Inky Flame said...

(I believe that people should do what floats their boat as long as it doesn't hurt anyone

like theres this guy in college with me, I barely know him but we've spoken a bit - he compliments me on my weird fashion sense

anyways that besides the point

he comes in dressed in weirder clothes than me

sometimes he comes in dressed as a woman

and my friends are like 'now why would he do that?' and I think its wonderful because he does what he feels comfortable with, despite of what everyone thinks


I think I am going off on a tangent so Im not going to say anymore )

Noelle said...

For the record, I have taken Gender issues classes and World Religions classes.

I'm not just a kid on the Internet who makes these opinions on my own.


My good friend, Zenah Aldahmen, lives in Kuwait. She is not required by any law to wear a hijab, or a burka. Her mother wears one, because it is her mother's choice. The world today is about tolerance and love and acceptance- and women are given more choices than before. Now, most of the women who wear burqas do so willingly, or they are on Hajj, the Arabic name for their religious pilgrimage to Mecca (or of course, visiting a Mosque- in the same way that Christian women dress modestly when attending Mass or Church services).

I am so livid.
I am a prospective Muslim- and if not, I am the closest thing to it. The Islamic beliefs of Salad, Shahada, Zakat, Sawm- all things that I believe in.


If a woman wants to wear a burka in France, then let her. Even if she comes from a country that is more traditional, she knows that France is Westernized- and she has a choice, whilst she is there, to conform to Western beliefs, or to remain in her full garb.

But to remove her decision whilst she is in a country that does not require vestibular signs of religion is wrong.

Star Inkbright said...

Banning the burqua is NOT equality. By banning it, you're putting restrictions on what women can wear. Just. That is the opposite of freedom and equality. Tbh, I don't see much difference between "we should make all women wear a burqua to protect them" and "we should make all women go with their faces uncovered to protect them." Like, imagine how much it would do for equality if everyone were forced to wear orange prison jumpsuits and nothing else the whole time.

It should, of course, be illegal to force someone to wear the burqua.

I would be fine with the burqua being banned if the ban was worded something like "it is illegal to wear face coverings in public places," because then it's purely a safety thing and I can see the sense in that (although it would prevent people wearing masks or dressing up in teddy bear costumes). I am against banning the burqua specifically, because that's just discriminative and restricts freedom of expression and you can't claim it's a safety issue if burquas are illegal and balaclavas are not so really there are no good reasons to ban it.

( I don't give a shit. I told you, you wouldn't like it. I'm not a feminist, i'm a "get over yourself and let everyone be equal already no more fucking stupid rules for any gender race or otherwise minority" thats what I am ...
now that is racist , just because I'm white and male I've got everything and you know can't see that people need to get a fucking grip and if that means getting rid of religion everywhere so be it. I don't care for it, all it's done is caused war and in equality and gave people the right to kill gays, stripped them of their right to shave and to eat shrimp etc etc it's just not worth it. )

Aquila Felis said...

No amount of wrongdoing would justify shooting people, or blowing people up, though.

And I do agree that anyone should get to wear one of those if they want to. I hope you realised that?
I just say that every person who tells someone they HAVE to should be first ridiculed and then ignored. Not punished, just not taken seriously.
Which is actually what the more... let's call it 'faithful' Christians are treated like. First laughed at, then ignored. Just look at the witnesses of jehova. ;P

Noelle said...

Aquila, Islam has "not turned radical".

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. .003% of that consists of radical Islamists, and an only slight percentage more believes that women are required to be submissive to her husband's wishes.

I understand that banning vestibular expression in Paris is supposed to help those women who are forced to wear what their husbands and fathers tell them- but there are so many women of the world who choose willingly to wear burkas- and the banning of them is forcing their hand in a situation that is, ultimately unfair.

And you know what?
I don't think that my opinion is the "best", but I damned we'll have a right to one. I know what I'm talking about- and I have a background in this stuff. I think I know what I'm talking about.

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, Noelle got there first.

Like, Noelle, I mostly agree with you; but "you'Re a white male so your opinions are insignificant" -
duuuuuudeeee

Yes, of course his opinion may be less informed and less relevant on the issue but that doesn't mean he, just because of who he was born as, can't possibly have anything productive to say.

(Although you are awesome and are also angry atm so I know you won't have meant it that way - I'm just telling you how it could have sounded. :))

Well I have background in this stuff too, considering I took religioius education as a main subject with the same amount of lessons as I had in German, English, Mathematics and Biology. And I've visited several mosques and have islamic accquaintances as well, if that helps you. =P

But really now, hell yes it's getting worse! There's different kinds of Islam, and the peaceful ones have trouble to stand up to the ones demanding sharia laws in countries.
No, not talking about Europe.
Just look at the votes in Egypt, for example, where a quarter of people voted a religious party. What happened to the separation of religion and state?

Yeah sure it's a minority, but minorities can be a bad thing still. =P Catholics are radical compared to some other Christians, orthodox churches might be even more so. You can't say 'Christians', and neither can you say 'Muslims'. Which ones are you talking about, anyway?

Noelle said...

I'm so livid right now.

I'm done with propagating this stuff.

Inky Flame said...

Noelle said...

Just

Everyone leave me the fuck alone.

Everything I've said was misinterpreted- just

God fucking damn

Star Inkbright said...

He was standing next to a statue of Emmeline Pankhurst and going on about how she would be ashamed that the burqua was still legal and then he was like "smiling and waving is an important part of Britizhculture" and I was just like duuuude.


Well . . . I have nothing to validate my opinion. I got an A in RS but if anyone has taken compulsory RS is a British school they will know how little that counts for. :P

Aquila Felis said...

... I feel like you were trying to say

'Women should be allowed to make their own decisions independent from laws. The Islam is still a peaceful religion. I have taken quite some interest in it.'

.. sorry if that was misunderstanding you.

So I'm gonna put this out there... The KKK consisted mostly of white Protestants (I'm not sure how the membership has changed over the years, but that was true during its most active stage), and yet I've never met someone who thinks that all white Protestants are killers.

That doesn't mean that the KKK isn't bad or doesn't need to be dealt with.

I think it'd be extremely impractical to enforce a law that banned women from being forced to wear religious headwear. I also don't know what percentage of women are forced to versus what percentage choose to.

Oh, okay. That one. The word you're looking for is equity. I still stand by that viewpoint, but I'm unsure exactly how it applies to this current discussion.

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

(*will dedicate later*
*when I'm sure of what to dedicate to*)

Tresha: *laughs*
You look so happy!

Mark: *grins, driving quicker*
*there's a loud rumble, not like that of a stomach but like that of an entire group of wolves growling at once*

MrBBWolf: Aww.. aren't you adorable.

Inky Flame said...

((Chloe Saunders sees dead people. Yes, like in the films. The problem is, in real life saying you see ghosts gets you a one-way ticket to the psych ward. And at 15, all Chloe wants to do is fit in at school and maybe get a boy to notice her. But when a particularly violent ghost haunts her, she gets noticed for all the wrong reasons. Her seemingly crazed behaviour earns her a trip to Lyle House, a centre for disturbed teens.

At first Chloe is determined to keep her head down. But then her room mate disappears after confessing she has a poltergeist, and some of the other patients also seem to be manifesting paranormal behaviour. Could that be a coincidence? Or is Lyle House not quite what it seems…? Chloe realizes that if she doesn’t uncover the truth, she could be destined for a lifetime in a psychiatric hospital. Or could her fate be even worse…? Can she trust her fellow students, and does she dare reveal her dark secret?))


Flauros: this tastes like heaven!

Clocky: *shouts* what was that?

Chris: *grins* like his father

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

MrBBWolf: N-no!

Flauros: it is! what being is this from?


Clocky: *looks around and clings to mark tighter* theres something with us?

Chris: yes dear

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

Tresha: A pig?

Mark: Huh?
*glances around*

*only has one eye in all fairness*

MrBBWolf: no..

Inky Flame said...

Flauros: I must meet a pig!


Alice: *giggles*

Clocky: something in the darkness... just keep riding!

Chris: yes!


Xander: *giggles*

*Mark curses, shifting to cushion Clocky's landing*

MrBBWolf: N-nope..

(if they want to wear it, that's fine but expression should be aloud like oh I don't know say she changed her mind and wanted to not wear it for a week that should be aloud.

you get people very into religion that will want to wear it and I get that, and we have no right to stop that, but the ones who are forced should not be forced, I think the same way about parents forcing their children to wear makeup or dresses etc because that is their gender get a grip let them wear what they want)

Inky Flame said...

Flauros: whats so funny?

Clocky: *hits him and falls to the ground, blacking out*

@Keiron: Obviously you shouldn't force people to wear it, but that doesn't mean you should ban it.
I mean, no one's saying we should ban makeup or dresses, are they?

(Also, I really hear you on the parents-giving-pressure thing. Lizzie's mum pressures Lizzie to be what her mum wants her to be and it makes me so fucking mad.)

Inky Flame said...

Flauros: yes, thank you Alice and Tresha

Clocky: *stays down on the floor, trying not to shake with fear*

Chris: do I have to persuade you?

Edward Fletcher said...

*rolls eyes* I is here ^.^

Inky Flame said...

((my mum says that im weird
but she doesn't say it in a particularly nice way

but so what if I don't wear makeup like others?
so what if I go for comfort rather than style?
so what if I have forty dresses?
so what if I have vintage clothing
so what if I want angel wings tattooed on my back?
so what if I don't ask people their business?))

Inky Flame said...

((JAAAAACK! *glomps*)_)

Edward Fletcher said...

Edward Fletcher said...

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

Tresha: You're welcome.

WS: So nice to see you again Mark. The last time I saw you you'd ran off with the job to go find that newly turned girl. And yet you didn't return. So I come to find you and what do I see? You and a girl, and get not the girl I asked you to find. You know what happens to wolves who fail me.
Mark: They go down in rank..

MrBBWolf: *grins slightly*
