Hello all.
Just got back from a TV thing that will be aired in Ireland sometime in May (I'll let you know when it's on so you can YouTube my awesomeness). It's been a long, amusing day, and all I want to do is relax, watch some TV, and generally chill out, so I'll be announcing the title of Book 7 tomorrow instead of today. Hope you understand.
As many of you know by now, every three books have a certain motif when it comes to titles. For instance, the middle trilogy was short, sharp and to the point. The final trilogy (sob) will have a completely different approach, as exemplified by the Greatest Title Ever Thought Up. I'm still writing the thing, and the deadline is fast approaching, so from tomorrow on it's full speed ahead. I only hope that the finished book lives up to what I'm calling it. Oh, I was totally joking about waiting until tomorrow to announce this, by the way. Sorry about that. Heh.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the final days of August of this year, the new Skulduggery Pleasant masterpiece will be released, and it will be called...
Skulduggery Pleasant: Kingdom Of The Wicked.

*thinks*
Have you ever seen an aisian girl with blond hair that hasn't been dyed before?
I'm pretty sure I haven't. Well, like Chinese/Japanese/Thai, all those.
Theres one with blonde hair sitting in front of me...
Can't tell it it's dyed or not
And I'm not being raicist.
...no, but I can guess that she must have a parent who has blond hair.
oh, well then, maybe it is dyed. I know a lot of people in Korea and Japan who dye their hair... I actually wished that I had a different hair color, once. :P
That was just cause I look too like an Asian, so people immediately guess that I can speak their language... I have a friend with blond hair and looks completely how Asians see Americans, and they try to speak English to her, then they see me next to her, and start talking to me in their language... it gets annoying sometimes.
It sounds annoying.
People always start saying really weird stuff when they hear I'm aisian. Because I look nothing like one.
At all...which is also weird.
Tunnel.
oh? You're also Asian? what ethnic?
...if I even said that right... I just mean, are you-
you know what? I think you can figure out what I mean. It's just hard for me to get the right words in a sentence. :S
Thai. I was born in Thailand (same with my mother but he grew up there too) and then my parents moved to Aus when I was...1? Maybe younger.
Anyway, my dad's Australian so I guess I just take after him more than my mother.
What about you?
Sorry, there was another tunnel. :l
I'm American through and through. I was born in New York, grew up in California. My dad was born and raised in Japan, and my mom was born and adopted in Japan, then raised in America... but she has clues that her mother was either Korean or Japanese, and her father could have been Italian or something...
So I could be part Japanese, part Italian, and part American.
One more thing, my mom was adopted by a Japanese mother and a Russian father...
so part Russian... maybe a bit... :P
Sorry for this big explanation of my family. :P guess I got carried away...
-Frowns-
Redheads are annoying.
Or maybe it's just Patricia in my class, I don't know. But she has red hair. And a lot of freckles. And is SO annoying.
Hi Trelaque. :)
Lol. Cool. But it must be annoying not knowing your actual heritage (for your mum).
-Clears throat and waits for you to acknowlage my presence-
Hey, Trelaque. :)
.....Hi Lav....
Yeah... but she definitely has some Asian in her. She looks like one. (black hair, brown eyes, etc.)
Yeah. That's cool.
...
Awesome title Derek!! Can't wait to see you in NZ for the Down Under Tour!
I forgot the title.
-Strains brain-
CRAP I RHYMED!
Hmm...I'm saying "cool" a lot. That isn't like me.
cool is a cool word
Mist?
so, does Trelaque's presence mean the others are going to come on soon?
Oh, hi Vultus. :) Didn''t think you were the chatting type... some people just come here to comment once, then leave. I thought you were one of those people.
EVE! :D
Ha! I think I was right! yay!
Nope, I'm not here, Eve.
*grins*
LAV!
Weird weather. First it's sunny, then it's sunny and hailing, then it'd hot and humid, and then....thunder.
Eve came on because of me.
It was meant to be.
You can't change it.
Any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
:D :D :P
-With unnatural speed, picks up bow and arrow, and with precise aim, takes out Hollow Man up at the hill-
Anyone care to join me?
-Grabs Falacta and runs up hill-
And that was all in one day.
Mist! *hugs*
wow, Eve... the weather here has just been rainy all day.
*hugs back*
No thanks, Dylan. Busy.
I didn't come on because of you, Dylan. I came on because we had maths til the end of the day and all I wanted to do was talk to Mist. So now I'm here.
-Throws Falacta like boomerang and catches it-
Now time to use my powers that came along with finding my True Name.
-Green ball starts growing in hand, and tendrils of green go outwards from the ball. Throws it up at the hollow men, and tendrils reach out, piercing the Hollow MEn and killing a fair few-
Nice...
Weather is weird. It may be bdcause of all that smoke in the air...
Hows your arm, mist?
I don't want to fight Hollow Men now, Trelaque... Maybe another day.
It's great! I can't wait to get this stupid cast off it. Tomorrow afternoon. One more day.
*smiles*
tram just broke down outside fumes and no fire
2 fire brigades, a police car and ambulance all there
*loud noise suddenly erupts around house*
Rain, hail and
*another noise*
Thunder. Weirrrrrd.
Oh, wow. Is anyone hurt?
Gotta do everything myself...
-Grits teeth-
POWER UNLEASHED! HYAAA!! [Har har har... starwarsish]
-Purple tendrils explode from me, they aim at the Hollow men, and explode on impact-
I DID IT! IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!
Good. You're okay. *hugs and starts moving mists arm around*
oh, wow. lots of things going on... you guys okay? Eve, Celala?
*looks at sky*
I COMMAND YOU TO RAIN BECAUSE...uh...BECAUSE I DEMAND RANDOM THINGS SOMETIMES!
*waits*
...
I don't think it's working...
i don't know but i saw the tram driver rush out to get everyone off
OH MY GOD!
LIGHTNING JUST STRUCK A TREE!
Nothing fell over, but just...
Oh my God...
Storm! YAY!
I think Phoenix is is calling me Everella now....
All I did was call him Flamereno.
Once.
Eve.
You raised his ire, so he'll alter your name to something that'll annoy you each time he says it.
Hrmm..
Now that you think about it, that might not be very fair...
Ahaha. I saw that. And I got your message, Eve.
*laughs*
I wouldn't tell Flame what it meant.
oh, wow... people must be panicking there, huh Celala?
I'm fine, lav.
*waits*
It stopped.
Why do you want rain, Mist?
no not really
I love the rain.
we could really use some rain in melbourne right now its really hot
What? What message?
:|
That's cold...
You take no notice!
Lightning!
Thunder!
Lightning hitting trees!
Scary, right?
i'm not scared of thunder
I hate rain. Rain makes me scared and unnervingly intellectual.
*looks at Eve*
What you told Flame to say this morning.
Ohhhhh. THAT. I forgot about that. I was going to make him say 'I am Phoenix and I am a bird and I am on fire' but that was too long and uncodely.
*grins*
you do know what lav spells backwards, don't you?
*pauses to let you figure it out*
not that I meant for it purposely. It's just a good coincidence. :P
And, yeah, don't tell him.

I love musicals! :P I know some people don't, but I do! They're completely different from operas! Operas, I don't like... My mom does though and when she sings, I bet the neighbors down the street can hear her, she's so loud!
Huh?
*blinks* I said Red Rover. Come over.
Me or Eve?
If Eve, I agree. Huh?
What does that mean?
But... It's Red Rover. Don't you know how to play Red Rover?
EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY RED ROVER!!! IT'S THE EASIEST GAME IN THE WORLD!!!
Ok...

*is not happy* No! You have to RUN! You have to run to the other side if you love me, and if I catch you you have to help me catch other people.
Never heard of it...
Bye Lavender.
bye lav
Oh, so bullrush?
*starts spluttering silently* But... EVERYONE knows how to play Red Rover.
1st
WOOO! First!
I dedicate this page to Mist! Only nine pages ahead now, Misty!
Noooooooooooooooooooo-
*one hour later*
Oooooooooooooooooooooo!!
What's bullrush?
Hahaha.
So Red Rovee is Bullrush??
Well... if Bullrush is waht I just said, then yeah.
Hmm.
Do you say Chasey, or Tag?
*what
One person is in and stands in the field while everyone faces him/her. The guy in says bullrush and everyone runs to the other side. If you get tipped, the you help the guy tip everyone else.
Neither. We used to say Tip.
Well, that's Red Rover, except in Red Rover, you get to choose who runs to the other side.
Example:
Red Rover! I call over, people with blue eyes!
*everyone with blue eyes runs over*
Ah ok.
*waits for the start of the game*
Tip? Huh. We say Chasey, but we also say 'to get someone "it"'. *shrugs* Must be the Adelaide languagio.
RED ROVER!!! I CALL OVER!! PEOPLE WITH BLACK HAIR!!!
Darn...
*runs forwards*
*laughs and runs after Mist*
*sets purple banana peels everywhere*
Arg!

Damn it.

to me
Internet's down at home, so not for a while
And [RESPONSE TO WHAT WAS BLACKED OUT]...
Aw. I miss him. :(
*looks at blacked out stuff* Coulda just LEFT it out, you know. People might get curious.
Yep. I told him to get on soon, but oh well.
*tackles Eve*
Hello.
*gets tackled*
Hello Jo.
Oh, that.
It's nothing.
What are y'all doin'?
Okay.
Y'all are eatin' live chicken lickens.
Sorry. I felt like being Sanguine for a second.
Chicken lickens?
SANGUINE!!
*runs around lake madly*
*sighs* Have you NOT heard the story of Chicken Licken?
Errr... just talking, not ACTING.
*watches Mist* What's wrong with Sanguine?
I haven't heard the story, no.
Hi Stario!
*stops and stares at Eve*
Wrong? WRONG?!
Nothing! I love Sanguine! He's my favourite villain!
Ever!
*shakes head* Johanna, Johanna, Johanna.
Hehe... ?
Oh! Well, that's good to know!
He WAS my favourite villain, until he revealed his Tanith crush.
*sigh*
you know how I keep saying that I'm going to go away from blogland for a while? And then I just keep coming back? Well, not anymore. Starting tonight, I'm going to exit the tabs with Derek's blog, and not come back for a bit... I've been having a hard time with this, going on and off... so I'm just going to make my life easier by not having the tabs open...
I'm sorry to the people who knew about my indecision from the start... thank you for putting up with me through all this, and for being my friends.
*tries for a smile that turns into a frown*
This time-This time I have to go.
Really, not coming back... seriously this time... Goodbye...
My favourite villain is Eliza Scorn.
Aw. :(
Bye Lav. You've been a great friend. *hugs*
Bye Lavender. But why go?
*hugs Lav* :(
*glares feircely at Jo* I HATE her. What she did to China was DESPICABLE.
Bye, Hope.
We all know you'll be back though. ;)
Well, I don't actually LIKE her, but I like the way Derek described her and the way she was so... controlled. But if I remember correctly, is she dead?
Hi, Star.
You remember incorrectly.
RAH!! RAH!!! LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON!!! I'M STARTIN' TO FEEL LIKE A DUNGEON DRAGON!!
Everyone, I have a confession to make...
okay...
What is it???
She escaped without even being chased after. If only Skulduggery had pulled the trigger just before she started yapping...
What? What is it?
Oh. Faulty memory. Damn you!
*shakes head and whacks hand against it*
Mist, what is it?
WHAT????
WHAT IS IT???
WHAT IS IT???
Cough it up...
JUST TELL ME WHAT IS IT??????
TELL TELL TELL PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
...Pwease?
Eve, it might just take a long time to type up.
*goes puppy eyes and gets on knees*
*nods self cociously* Yeah. Yeah, okay. *waits*
*conciously
Umm, Star, that's the 3rd time you've posted the same thing!

Yeah, but she has to coz her comments keep disappearing.
