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.

*pushes kick away and raises hands*
I'm not fighting you, Nagier.
I've had enough fighting.
Also, you have no idea how stupid this is making us look.
If indeed we are still counted as one person.
Because it just makes me look stupid talking to myself.
*frowns*
But we're completely different people now.
hi again
Good.
But I'm still not fighting you.
Eh. It's not that bad. It's interesting to read.
hey Blue.
I'm not even going to bother asking why not.
I'm just going to kill you.
*sends three tendrils of darkness flying at Mist*
bye again *smirks disappears* see u laterz
Argh!
*leaps over one and batters away the other two*
...Wait, did you already choose your magic discipline?
i'll be back in a couple of days
Perhaps.
What is it to you?
Urgh! I told you not to do that!
*shadow bubble etexts around Nagier* No fighting.
Why? You're not telling me you want to actually be one again, are you?
*laughs*
*erects
Not in the slightest, I just want you gone.
And now that can't happen.
Can't it?
You could choose Necromancy.
*looks around*
Ahaha.
*walks through bubble easily*
*staggers back*
How the hell did you just walk through that?!
Zathract, your True Name is MY name. I have powers far beyond yours.
But...not all the time, right?
No...not all the time.
Which is the one thing I can't figure out.
Well...Better for me I suppose.
But back onto the subject, did you suggest I take Necromancy as my discipline?
I did.
Nothing wrong with that, is there?
Hahaha.
You're suggesting that we become one again now?
No, I'm just making the point that I can still be destroyed.
And you want that?
Of course not.
I thought not...
We're off topic again.
Are we?
Yes. I've been standing here talking for the past five minutes.
*throws a fist of shadow*
Ah, crap.
*leaps up and dodges the fist*
*sends a fireball flying down*
*waves hand and sends the fireball away*
Psh...that wasn't your...Did you just land in the lake?
*looks around*
Oh, yeah. I keep doing that.
*shakes head*
Whatever.
*seizes the air and makes darkness contract on Zathract*
Arg-!
*gets trapped in the darkness*
What's this?
Eh. One of the simpler of the new tricks I can do.
Hold up, hold up.
Tricks? In all the time I've known you, I have NEVER heard you say TRICKS before.
And I've never known you to say "hold up" before.
*pauses*
...Good point. Continue.
*clenches fist and tightens the darkness*
*screams*
Arg! That's my rib cage!
*smirks*
I know.
*looks up*
...Oh...
*pulls fist back*
ARGH!
*rib cage snaps and falls to the ground*
Ahahahaha...
*walks over to Zathract and kicks him aside*
*kneels*
You aren't even conscious anymore...Or are you dead?
It doesn't really matter I suppose.
*stands up*
This would be the time someone he cared about comes in and then the epic battle breaks out.
*looks around*
And no one but a puppet is around.
Too bad.
*sends a large bit of rock into the ground with the carvings: 3380th*
And now that that's taken care of.
*turns to tree-house*
I think I'll have some fun trashing this thing.
*walks in, sees Nagier, blurs up to him and kicks him in the balls before he can dodge*
Go away.
*pulls out Makhaira and, without pausing, drives it into his leg*
Sorry Zath, I really am, but this needs to be done.
*looks down at leg*
...
Ahahahaha!
*pulls out the Makhaira and discards it*
Now that would have been awesome if I could heal my leg too. Shame.
*turns to Sparky*
Now are you thinking "this is too overpowered"? It isn't. I just don't feel anything. My entire body is eternally numb, just so you know.
*blurs back to Makhaira and picks it up*
I don't suppose you'll go easy on me?
Most likely not.
*blurs and drives fist into Sparky's stomach*
*growls*
Idiot person on the computer who is typing. Get the windows right!
Y'know what's strange?
If Crucify and I were ever to get into a fight, I would win.
I do have to admit, she's better at using her Dao than I am at using my Makhaira, but I also have a mild level of psychological control over her, which prevents her from killing me.
*grunts and punches Nagier in the forehead, then grips his shoulder and pumps electricity through him*
ZATH, FIGHT HIM!
*laughs*
In most occasions, Zathract had complete control over me. But this time he left and after he leaves, I can do what I like. So by the time he was back, I was already here. So really, he couldn't do a damn thing about my killing him.
It wasn't as fun as I hoped.
ZATHRACT, YOU'RE STILL THERE, YOU CAN STILL FIGHT, FORCE HIM BACK!
*roars with laughter as the electricity surges through body*
Firstly, I still don't feel any of that. The advantage of having already died once is that you are always numb.
Secondly, Zathract isn't here. We separated long ago. He is...was there.
*points to the broken body near the lake*
And now...
*grabs Sparky's hair and yanks her backwards*
You know what I REALLY want to see though?
I want to see what the Rock thing will do when she see's what has happened.
That will be funny and hopefully fun too.
*shrieks and jerks Makhaira backward*
*the grip on my hair is lost*
*turns and sees that I've cut Nagier's fingers off*
*blurs over to Zath and inspects him*
He's still alive you halfwit.
ZATHRACT, GET YOUR LAZY BUTT IN GEAR!!!
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
EVE, HELP!!!
*looks at fingers*
Huh. Oh well.
*turns around*
Ahaha. The rock.
I have now desided to show myself
Hi Eve!
*turns and flying-tackles Nagier away from Eve*
DON'T HURT HER!
First?
*sees Nixion*
Oh, well isn't this going to be fun then.
*draws Sai's*
*rolls over, flips up and stomps a foot on Sparky's head, still on the ground*
Move, and I'll blow your brains across the ground.
Hi Naggy. What's up?
Oh God
I didn't come here to fight
*draws machete and grins*
Only for self defence
*grins*
This is more than I could have hoped for.
The girl of Crucify, who I hope I have the chance to meet someday, the girlfriend of Zathract and one of his best friends.
Isn't this going to be fun?
*freezes*
Stalemate, huh?
Eve doesn't even care im here...
Nix! *waves* hi!
*smirks*
Looks like it, Braginski.
Rock, you may want to look over at the lake.
You'll find your boyfriend with the live chicken pox and all his ribs shattered. Hopefully even dead by now.
I've been practilly missing for over a week, and all i get is a Hi?
It's not over yet my evil friend.
*grips Nagier's foot and tosses him into a tree*
Ready for some hardball?
*laughs maniacally and gets up*
You. Yes, this will be interesting.
..I hope.
*sends seven shards of darkness flying towards Crucify and launches myself off the tree*
*hugs* Hello!
*narrows eyes* hold on a sec
yes? what second shall i hold on to?
*ducks and rolls out of the way, pulling out Dao in the process*
*blurs into Nagier, throwing both of us off our feet*
*stands quickly and hooks blade into the spikes of his daggers and flicks them into the lake*
That's why we don't use spikes.
*grips his hair and pulls it into my knee*
This one. *gives second*
Nagier, Nagier, Nagier. How can you be so naive? I told Mist before, I'm super prepared.
Eve?
*walks over to Mist* hey, honey. I told you what would happen if you ate another live chicken.
*sends a fist pummeling up into her face and leaps up*
Funnily enough, I wasn't using daggers. They're for idiots who know nothing of sophisticated combat.
I'm usin' the Sai's.
*twirls in hands and suddenly sends one flying towards Crucify's chest and sends three more shards of darkness to follow*
*looks at Eve*
Rock, I doubt he'll be talking any time soon. If he isn't dead, he's unconscious.
people didn't seem to miss me that much...
*smiles* I know. He's so cute when he's sleeping. *smiles down at Mist*
...His ribs are broken.
*indicates huge pile of blood on ground and the bones sticking out of Zathract's sides*
I do, Nix!!! Well, I did. But now you're back!!!! So here. *gives purple banana* :D
And he's got that idiotic expression of dead-ness on his face.
*blurs out of the way, blood dropping down my face*
Sparky was always the one who knew her way around words, but I'm the one who knows her way around swords.
*blurs behind Nagier, hits his right wrist with the flat of my blade, making him drop the Sai and grips it in my right hand*
*flicks Dao into his left wrist and gets it lodged in his arm*
Oops.
*stabs at his head with Sai*
only for a little
Then im gone again
*nods* yeah. And recently he fell down a flight of stairs. And he's fine. He's resilient like that.
Aw. *hugs* I missed you. You were one of my favorite people here. :(
Hey, im readin over old comments, and Star likes me?
What, Sparky and me?
No, we're to completely different people, in a way.
You see, Sparky spends so much of her time thinking, that she thought me into existence.
She's not particularly proud of that one.
*groans*
That didn't hurt, but I don't think it can be good.
*pulls both sai's out and quickly slashes them, one across Crucify's neck and the other at her stomach*
Boom.
*sends a fist of darkness crashing into her*
*tumbles backwards*
Ugh, this is going to be the least sophisticated sentence I've said yet, but-
Sh*t.
*hits ground and rolls onto back*
Uh oh...
*blacks out*
*looks at Nagier* Only Mist says that.
Ahaha.
*paces over steadily and steps on her head*
Adios.
*applies pressure and cracks the skull*
Woah, that looked awesome.
or is it Blue? the comments are messed up
Blood n' Brain over blogland.
*starts pushing bones back into Mist's chest, humming all the while*
oh, it is blue
*eyes snap open*
Christ my head...
*puts hand to head and feels my warm blood*
That can't be good.
Eve, if possible, don't let him kill me.
Or Nix.
Or anyone really.
No one likes you, Nix.
Well, sure, everyone likes you, but neither Star nor Blue LIKE you.
*sighs and stands in front of Spakry*
Mist... or whatever the hell you are, i just got back here, and im in no mood to fight
POWER DOWN, NOW!
*steps harder and sends two halves of the skull flying to the sides*
And no more head. Yay.
*grins darkly*
*looks at Nix*
Nah. And I'm not Zathract, that's him.
*points to the body*
Sure thing, Sparrrrrky.
You can glue your head back together with this. *tosses Sparky a purple banana*
*pops one of the numbing leaves into my mouth and staggers up*
Zath, drop the act. This isn't fun anymore.
*nearly falls sideways, but manages to stay up*
Please.
*passes out from blood loss and other such things*
Dem bones dem bones dem, dry bones...
*finishes with ribs and starts bandaging*
And now..... *pours bucket of antidote and panadol down Mists throat*
Voila!
*leans down and kisses Muist* Wake up now, Sleeing Beauty.
*sleeping
*mist
*stitches up Sparky while waiting*
*steps out of the shadows*
Sparky doesn't enjoy giving up very much.
I think I enjoy it even less.
*walks up to Magier and shakes his hand*
I'm Crucify Alovskaya, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I suggest we become partners in crime, or something of the sort.
*blurs away from Nagier*
You have a fairly violent nature is all.
*looks at Eve*
...What...?
*shakes head and walks over to the tree-house tree*
And then there's this...
*laughs at Crucify*
I'd love that. You seem to have a liking for destruction...perhaps not as immediate as mine is, but bloody none the less.
my comment dissapeared...
*shrugs* he'll wake. And you can't destroy the treehouse.
*sits up*
GOLDEN GOD, that HURTS!
*clutches ribs*
Oh. You are alive then. I'll kill you some other time maybe.
And if you're so rough and tough, Naggy, then why haven't you managed kill ANY of us.
Idiot.
is Derek messing with me? or am i just parinoid, cause it's happened twice now
*smiles crookedly at Nagier* toldja.
*hugs Mist*
All our comments disappear sometimes, Nix.
Excellent.
There is but one problem.
As I round-aboutedly mention before, Sparky does have a mild psychological control over me.
And, because I wouldn't exist with out her, I'd rather not have her killed.
So, could you, maybe, mend her?
We need to go, but I trust you'll make a wise decision Nagier.
*smiles*
Bye.
Oh yeah.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!
Ow. Please don't do that, Eve.
Yes, yes, Braginksi will live then. I think the Rock already fixed her though, but I'll see.
I'll see you some time tomorrow presumably, Crucify.
Sorry! *jumps away from Mist*
Your friend is extremely annoying.
*shrugs* And evil.
What did you say, Nix?
it happened again!
*looks at Nagier* Damn straight I did.
Oh, he's not my friend. He's my darker side. He likes to refer to himself as the Evil Incarnate or the Incarnation of Perfect Insanity.
Pretentious pr*ck...
Hahaha. Say it again, Nix!
it keeps happening! why?
Good. Then I won't need to do any of it myself.
I too must depart I think. This place is too happy for my liking.
*shadow walks out*
*grins* He is at that.
Hear that, Naggy. You've got no friends. Boo hoo.
*starts wrapping bandages around Mist, gently*
Of course you're a friend, Nix! You're a great friend!
Bye bye, Naggy! *sticks up Banana Fest rude finger*
*laughs but quickly stops*
That hurts to laugh...But it looks like he has a friend now...
Crucify...what a weird name. Anyway, I must go and eat.
Be back in 15 minutes, Eve.
*kisses quickly*
Bye, Nix.
Bye Mist
alright, i get the point whatever force is doing this
Bye all!
Aw. Bye Mist! *thinks better than to hug*
Bye Nix!
*starts humming*
Chachachachacha
I don't know-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Where ya goin',
Or when you're comin' ho-oh-oh-oh-ome,
I left the keys under the mat to our front do-o-o-o-o-o-oor,
For one more chance to hold you close,
I don't kno-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Where ya goin',
Just getchour a** back home.
Oh Wakakaka!
Yay! *kisses*
*kisses back*
I've decided that I don't like getting kicked in the shin.
It hurts.
*looks around ant-infested room* Ugh. Stupid crack in the window. I don't know where it is, but the ants do. Why my room, I do not know. They must love my company. *flicks ant off laptop*
When did you get kicked in the shin?!
Oh, just then.
*curses ants and Dymocks*
By who?
My brother.
*walks into tree-house and lies on carpet*
*grins* Little brothers, eh? Mine kept whacking me in the back for some reason. I published my comment, then I elbowed him in the jaw. It was one of those awesome jabs where you do it when they're right behind you. Poor brother. He must learn to keep his distance.
*follows Mist into treehouse and lies on fluffy carpet with him*
I hope Nagier doesn't come back. He called me a Rock thing. That's mean! *pretends to cry*
Finished!
http://myuselessshortstories.blogspot.com.au/
Yes, that was mean. I would have smashed him to pieces! ...If he hadn't beaten me to it...
3500th~
Read and commented!
Thanks. :)
Aw, it isn't showing up.
*wraps more bandages around Mist's ribs* Even if he did smash you to pieces, you're still a squillion times better than him.
*smiles*
What's not showing up? The comment?
Yeah, it isn't there...
Commented again!
My comment disappeared, so...
Hmm...
5/6am - 3:10pm [School - Online]
3:30pm - 4:30pm [Train Home - Online]
5pm - {10:30pm - Midnight} - [Home - Online]
1am - 5/6am - [Sleeping]
I'm online far too much...
Ah, I see it now. Thanks, Eve.
*thinks* So there's an evil side of Val, an evil side of Sparky and an evil side of YOU. And an evil side of me...(mwahaha and so on)
*looks around*
I still haven't dedicated for the last page and Sparky hasn't dedicated for this page...
I DEDICATE THE LAST PAGE TO EVE THE ROCK. Back in 10 pages ahead, Eve.
*grins*
Is it me it did thy cage the format?
No problemo, El Zathracto.
Damn. *grins anyway*
It's not just you, Gab.
Lol I said thy instead of they...
Wait, you have an evil side?
*does Mr Burns thing* Doesn't everyone?
Hmm..
Goodbye.
bye Gab
*laughs at previous comments* you both talk so funny when you're evil.
Bye/Hi Gab.
I suppose...It's just hard to imagine a dark side of you.
Ha! Rock thing....
Lol
Bye again.
You insult me. I can do dark! *steps into shadows with cape*
Grr. Bye Colbat.
*sits up and watches Eve*
