I'm STARVING.
I decided it was time to eat lunch, like, an HOUR ago, and I'm still at the computer. And what am I doing now? I'm writing a blog post. Tssh.
Okay then, what have I been up to? Well, the Tanith novella, as you may have guessed. I have another week of writing on that and then I'll pretty much launch straight into Book 8, provisionally titled Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna CRY. But I digress.
On Halloween I did an event in Dublin with my editor Nick Lake and cover artist Tom Percival. It was the first time we'd been on stage together and it was basically a big chat about how the books get made and the process behind it all. Plus I mocked people. It was fun.
And that event also marked another first- the first time the real Valkyrie Cain attended. Laura was sitting at the back beside my agent, and when I mentioned that she was actually here there was an audible gasp around the room and everyone started craning their necks to try and spot her. Laura, for her part, stared straight ahead and tried to attract no attention whatsoever. I'm fairly sure she emerged unscathed by the whole experience- thought she DID glare at me afterwards.
That night we all went out to dinner, fifteen of us, and many laughs were had. Presumably. I spent the next day with Nick as he tried to get me to decide what to write once Skulduggery is over. I have a few ideas, but I'm still not entirely sure what it'll be. Apart from brilliant. We all KNOW it'll be brilliant.
Voting for the Irish Book Awards have come around again. This year I'm up against Anna Carey, Judi Curtin, John Boyne, Darren Shan and Eoin Colfer. That's a pretty impressive list by anyone's standards. I didn't win last year- Anna did- and to be honest I had THE best time. I actually like not winning. It means you can hold a conversation with someone without interruption.
Every year, I don't ask you to vote for me- I ask you to vote for whoever you think deserves it. And this year is no different. Well, ALMOST no different. The only difference is that this year the last Artemis Fowl book is nominated, and if any book deserves to win...
Just pointing it out, that's all. Not trying to influence you, one way or the other. Ahem.
http://www.irishbookawards.ie/vote-here-for-your-favourite-titles
Let's see... oh, next week is going to be fun! You're going to be getting TWO cover releases here on this Blog. The new paperback cover for KOTW at the start of the week, and the Tanith cover at the end of the week.
See? I'm so good to you.
Now I'm going to eat lunch.

(@Garr they all liiiiiiieeeeeee!)
(mbd food..)
Who's apparently lying sil?
*sighs*
*gets up*
*sees that Sil is desperately holding the zombies back*
*picks up her arm and smacks Sil with it*
Silente!
You can't hold them all back! And I'm bleeding out anyway. Leave me. Just leave me!
*coughs up blood*
If you go south, towards the river, you might get away.
*the soldiers following Silente start hacking their way through the woods* *pulses of black energy are fired at her from underneath the trees*
Bethany: *reaches the volcano and the ground begins to shake* *lava spews from the top of the volcano, flowing down the side towards her* *she changes direction completely and moves out of the way of the lava*
(might as well join the band wagon and also Xan did ask so nicely...
i agree Sil your beautiful)
(Yes Gar, please tell sil she is beautiful because she won't believe me, xan, blake, Sophia or matex *grins evilly*)
(Gtg eat)
(Soph, ded.)
(YES! I WIN! Silente you cannot win against me! and you cannot fight the truth! *dances around, happy)
C- I would like...hmm...a cocktail please.
S- a beer and a vodka coming right up *smirks*
Chi: Oh I'm fine, what about you?
Tsubaki: *wanders around until he sees a building out in the open that has the smell of food coming from it*
Food...
*Goes towards it and sees that practically everyone is already in the bar*
Oh, hello...
(Job done *points to my comment*)
(Goodbye Tia)
(DON'T DO IT GARR!)
Sil2: No chance Tanya!
-her eyes pulse red and the wave of zombies around them suddenly have exploded heads-
-curses and dives, rolling to her feet, running faster-
(DAMN IT NO! GSIDPDNENWLSLABAHALIIIIIEEEEESSSSSS!)
Too late bud )
(*giggles* I love this...)
(-GAGS EVERYONE- AM NOT AM NOT AM NOT AM NOT!)
(Cordelia: Yes you are
Sebastian: yup
Chione: Gorgeous.
Tsubaki: Mhmm)
*the lava solidifies into a man wearing golden armour which seems to flicker like fire* *he holds a lance in his hand, which is already alight*
Bethany: *simply runs, heading towards Liliana's castle*
(-glares at the characters- AM NOT AM NOT AM NOT AM NOT!)
-gets hit in the back by a blast of that energy and goes flying for the cliff edge, crying out slightly and holding on by her fingertips-
Chi: Hey little brother
S- *nods to Tsu as he passes*
C - Hello there! who are you?
Tsubaki: I'm Tsubaki Asahina, Chione's brother. Nice to meet you all *smiles and goes to sit beside his sister at her other side*
S- *Gets a beer and a vodka and goes back to the booth*
Chi: How are you bro?
Tsu: I'm good...a bit tired.
Chi: How have you been these last hundred years?
Tsu: I was just looking for you...
Chi: Really?
Tsu: Yeah...haven't really settled down anywhere since I left aunt Audrey's house...
Chi: Aunt Audrey?
Tsubaki: She's basically our godmother. Was...basically our godmother...
Chi: oh...
C - So Talia! how have you been?
Bethany: *hears Silente crying out and flaps her wings, flying towards her* *as soon as she becomes near she keeps her wings still and makes them more streamlined, dropping towards the ground* *spreads them when she nears the floor, slowing her descent* *grabs Silente's hand and pulls her up on to the cliff again* We have trouble. Big trouble.
(I will be back soon.)
There was one point in this argument I disagree with. Max, as beautiful as she may be, nobody beats Gemma.
(Okay Soph)
What trouble? Careful, army!
(Well John, he did said she was the most beautiful to him. But thank you. *hugs him*)
*Hugs her back tightly*
Romance is everywhere!
me + Chloe
Sil + matt
J + Gem (being really nice to each other....)
(-nods, agreeing with Blake- Gemma is more beautiful. Much more. Partially because she's beautiful partially because I'm not.)
Yes you are Sil, she's just more so. :P
(-punches Blake in the nose- no I'm not.)
You are too.
Wait.... No violence!
(Am not)
(@Gar I don't know what love feels like, which is depressing the shit out of me.
Just damn it!)
*looks around at the thousands of zombies still walking towards them*
*smiles sadly*
You have to leave me, Sil. There's too many.
The-
*coughs up some more blood*
The river. Go!
C- I know he is. He's always protected me. Although I always seem older than him...it's the other way around. I've been good.
*Looks up at Harrison as he returns and smiles*
Chi: That's a shame... I would have wanted to meet her.
Hey Talia! how have you been doing?
S - *sits back down with Talia*
Here you go my lady.
Tsubaki: *Orders a beer and a plate of chips*
Sil2: -grits her teeth-
No.
- eyes flow pure blood red and zombies heads start exploding like fireworks, spraying blood here and there along with chunks of brains-
(She is
Adam, shut up >.<)
Ah you misread my argument.
I meant she is more beautiful in my eyes than she is in anyone elses :) I have no doubt Gemma is more beautiful to you :P
(Am not beautiful.)
(I explained that to him Matex-sama.)
(This just came on:
She's taking her time making up
the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile
and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the
bitter one
They're saying, "Mamma never loved
her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right
kind of pilot to come.)
C- *takes a sip of her cocktail*
*Her stomach rumbles* Ahh... >.<
S- *smiles at Talia* You're beautiful, you know that?
Chi: Can I have a few bro?
Tsubaki: *Pushes the bowl of chips in between the two of them*
*smiles even more*
Whatever magic you're using, it'll drain you before you can kill every zombie...
*pats her wounds*
And I'll bleed out before you can kill them all anyway.
You're going to have to let me go, pretty one.
Sil2: no you won't.
-strains, pushing energy towards Tanya, starting to heal her as fewer heads explode-
*stumbles over to Silente*
*grips her hand*
*starts pulling her*
Must... go.
Sil2: -let's Tanya lead her, the moment they touch healing energy exploding through Tanya like a healing nuke-
-staggers-
C- I'm going to go get some cake *nods*
*Gets up and goes to the bar to order some Strawberry cake*
S - Of course you are. And no, I don't get drunk easily. *Finished his vodka*
Hey sis, want to get me another vodka? thanks! you're the best
C- I didn't say yes yet!
S - yet?
C - damn it! fine!
S - *laughs*
(I am back.)
Bethany: *turns and fires a beam of white energy from her palm into the army, stalling them for a few seconds* *the trees behind them explode in fire and smoke* A god problem. *draws her spear, the hilt glowing gold as another tip forms on the other side* *spins her spear in her hands, turning to face Archeos, standing in front of Silente*
Archeos: *smiles at her* Bethany. Daughter of Phaestra. It will be most interesting to kill you.
*stumbles*
*looks at her new arm*
Whoa, Sil, where did you get these pow-
Sil!? Are you ok?
-pales-
Oh. That type of problem.
-steps around Bethany, standing beside her, drawing a sword, the blade of which is covered in sigils-
Sil2: -mumbles and forces herself to keep exploding the zombies heads-
-sits heavily-
C- *comes back with vodka and her strawberry cake*
Her is your drink brother
S- Thanks Sis, that was so kind of you.
C- I'm going to kill you.
S- You can't without me *smiles* I on the other hand, could kill you.
C- Not before I heal myself.
S- *smirks*
*rushes over to Sil, pulling her into a hug*
We have to go. Sil?
Sil2: can't..
-gasps, struggling to breathe as more heads explode-
-there aren't many left anymore-
You can stop, you've got armour... let's go, Sil.
Sil2: - shakes head-
Run Tanya.
Frak that.
*slaps Sil*
Let's go!
C- Cute? we're talking about literally killing each other and you think that's cute? you're a strange women, Talia rose.
S- Strange but amazing. *holds her hand*
Sil2: -falls flat on her back at the slap-
I CAN'T MY LEGS WON'T WORK!
Archeos: *blasts a fireball from the tip of his lance at them*
Bethany: *waves her hand and slaps the fireball aside with white energy*
-squares her shoulder, not sure how she can help-
(Back! Sorry for poofing! Anyone still up for rp?)
(All of mine and Xan's characters are at the bar if you want to join us all?)
Mine?
Must get ded
Come here.
*pulls Sil over her shoulder*
*starts walking towards the river as fast as she can*
*is really weighed down by Silente's armour, but doesn't have the time to remove it because zombie apocalypse*
So close!
ah well
Sil2: Tanya what are you doing??
- eyes drain back to normal colour and heads stop exploding-
Poop
*hands Sil one of her revolvers*
Aim for the heads.
(Sure thing!)
Hey guys! *spots everyone at the bar and walks over to them*
Yus! Kallista be proud of me! I'm going back to my old ways!
I dedicate to cake. Which is partly making me sick right now but is way too delicious to stop eating.
I dedicate to how beautiful my sister Jaimie is, No matter how much she denies it *smirks*
I also dedicate to all the oldies that came back on yesterday. Kall, Octa, Pyro, Skyrill, Hellboy (even though I missed him)
And finally all the people of our generation that now no longer come on very often. Ari, Taia, Fabi, Star, Adra (if she even comes on at all) I miss you all and I wish you would come back...
*Blake lunges out of a shadow, reaching desperately for and oddly crooked twig in the ground*
*Just as he's about to grab the twig, a barely visible blur of red blasts past, leaving Blake twigless and covered in dust*
Kaitlin: Ha! Told you I was faster.
(-scribbles out word 39, 40 and 41-
-replaces them with 'me, Chione/Gemma'
Hear hear!)
(Hear hear!
Yes, hear hear to both parts, Jai!
Ssh, you're beautiful!)
C - Hello! *continues to nom her Strawberry cake*
S - Hey *drinks his vodka*
Chi: Oh hey Velvet *eats another chip*
Tsubaki: Hello again. Are you alright now?
(Everyone on blogland currently has said you're beautiful, Jaimie, you can't call us all liars. *smiles*)
(@Gemma I can and I am. -nods-)
Sil2: -starts shooting their heads-
Hi! Ooh, I'm gonna get cake too!
(Will be back in a sec!)
(-FINALLY FINISHED WRAPPING THE STUPID SHAPED PRESENT-
-looks at the even stupider shaped present-
-facepalm-)
Bethany: Why are you helping Minerve?
Archeos: We often work together. We agree on several matters. Such as the fact mortals are beneath us all.
(Sil, i don't lie )
-grunts-
Gee thanks. You're charming.
(@Garr you aren't allowed to call me beautiful, you've never seen what I look like.)
*The siblings wander into the bar, chatting about sparing tactics*
Hey everyone.
Kaitlin: *Her eyes wander to Tsubaki and she begins to blush*
Um... hi.
(that is true, so I'm going by what other people have said)
(@Garr other people lie.)
(put it this way i believe Gemma ok Sil... End of the matter)
(Damn it.)
Thank you.
Archeos: You know not of me, mortal.
I have come to one-up Garrett. That is all. Goodbye.
I know you're a big scary dude and you want to hurt Bethany and think mortals are below you. Really I don't need to know much else.
Cheers bud (Mega houndoom)
(mega houndoom a.k.a Blake )
(I'm clever....)
(Sorry bud, I just thought it was strange how you kept Houndoom as your pic and suddenly felt the need to do that.)
Tis all good and tbh i can't be arsed to change my profile pic....
So uh.... where'd everyone go?
Archeos: Do you wish to die, mortal?
Bethany: I will not let you kill her.
Either typing really slowly or poofed
I'm already dead.
-smiles-
Have been quite a lot.
(Soz, wrapping presents, distracted.)
C- *growls* It's him again...
S- Who's that?
Chi: Blakey boo! Kaitlin!
Tsubaki: *Turns round and smiles*
Hey guys.
Archeos: Then allow me to make your death more permanent. *fires a stream of fire from his lance*
Bethany: *slams her spear into the ground, a glow aura appearing around her weapon, the fire being diverted to either side of them, leaving both of them unharmed*
-smiles, shifting closer to Beth-
Um don't think that worked..
Bethany: What?
His fire thing. I don't think it worked. We appear to still be alive..
Thanks for saving me.
-smiles at her-
(I am so fucking cold that it's not even funny and parents refuse to turn on the heating!
I just growled. Growled!)
*gets to the river, shooting zombies on the way*
*takes back Sil's empty gun*
*finds the dinghy she had left there earlier*
*carries Sil to the dinghy and sits her down into it*
*looks around, still seeing plenty of zombies approaching*
*turns back to Sil*
*sees the dinghy sinking under Silente's weight*
Oh, no.
*quickly attempts to remove Silente's heavy armour*
I'm sorry, Sil.
*throws the armour by her side, and looks at Sil*
I'm not making it out of this one.
I-
Please forgive me.
*pushes the dinghy down the river, towards safety*
*turns to face the zombies, and charges at them*
*Blake runs over to Chi and hugs her tightly, lifting her into the air*
Kaitlin: *Shuffles in slowly after him, glancing at Tsubaki every few seconds*
So what's with the party?
Sil2: TANYA!
-throws herself into the water, sinking-
-growls and swims, already exhausted but determined-
Bethany: No problem. *smiles back at her for a moment* You have no business in this realm, Archeos. *her eyes switch from Archeos to the army, who appear to have stopped near to him*
Archeos: *takes a step forwards towards them, lance alight*
Bethany: *raises her spear protectively* *grasps Silente's shoulder and they vanish in a gold flash, reappearing at the other side of Archeos* We need to run, Silente.
Can do.
-grabs Beth's hand and sprints through the woods-
(-gives up wrapping for a while-)
Bethany: *manages to keep up to her, running alongside, holding her hand* I will send you to Minerve's castle. Tell her that Archeos is here and he has complicated matters. I will try and deal with Minerve's army, or at least separate the two legions again, yes?
chi: *kisses Blake*
Tsubaki: It's not really a party, we all just came here after killing some zombies for some food and a drink *smiles* Hello Kaitlin, how are you?
(-facepalm- Kalllll)
No! I'm not leaving you alone with him behind you!
What is the best way to ask someone who lives half way around the world their locker combo without sounding suspicious even though you're going to tel your other friends so they can put pictures of creepy clowns and fake spiders in her locker to get her back for scary one of your friends even though it wasn't really a big deal but it just sounds really fun and you don't want to wait for April fools day and now I'm just continuing this sentence to see how long it will go.
Bethany: I will be fine. Liliana needs to know. *uses the contact of their hands to send Silente to Liliana's castle - making her disappear in a gold flash* *continues to run*
(HAHA! I HAVE EVERYONE COMING ON TO SAY YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL SILENTE!)
(Awwww Kall that's so cute)
(I am not an expert on Christmas, as I do not celebrate it, but is it not on the 25th?)
(@GEMMA SHHH HALF OF THEM HAVEN'T SEEN ME AND NOT EVERYONE HAS SAID IT SO HA!)
BETHANY!
-screams in frustration and runs to find Liliana-
(It is Soph.)
Kaitlin: *Her gaze immediately drops to her feet*
I- I'm good. Um, how're you?
*He kisses Chi and sets her down*
Sounds like something that would happen here...
Please can someone answer? I need the question answered..
Liliana: *is sat on her throne, wearing a black corset and a short skirt with tights underneath* Are they here, Silente?
Bethany: *sees Archeos' soldiers running towards her and runs towards Liliana's castle* *turns, closing her eyes for a moment* *a large bus fades into view behind Minerve's army and drops on to them, rolling over and over across the army* *continues to run*
(@Dug no idea..)
(Dugglyn, unfortunately I have no answer.
I see, Kallista. So why not have the ball on the 25th? Or the 24th?)
-blinks at the appearance-
No. Archeos came and screwed it up.
Hmm....
Would you answer if your best friend in Sweden asked, just curious, what's your locker combo this year?
(**her appearance as in what she's wearing)
(Back!)
(All day, I've been cold.
I HAVE NOT FELT WARMTH FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING DAY, I BLOODY WOKE UP COLD AND I'M STILL COLD NOW.)
*amidst the flood of zombies, Tanya stands, daggers in hand, cuts and deep scratches covering her body*
*she was going to die, she knew it, but at least she saved someone. That's all that mattered*
*Tanya turned her back to where the dinghy was, turning herself into a direct defense...*
*...and dropped her daggers, bringing out a match...*
*...which she used to set her hair on fire...*
*...and the fire took out a few strands of hair before ignoring her completely and beginning to spread down her body...*
*...until it reached the ground...*
*...At which point the fire took on a new intensity, and formed waves and waves of fiery fury...*
*...leaving no doubt to anyone witnessing the event that no-one could have survived that fire*
(Dugg! Feel like a bit of torture tonight?)
Sil2: nooo!
-stops swimming, treading water-
No...
Liliana: I see. He should not be much of a problem. All I require is Bethany to lead him here.
Bethany: *continues to run, dodging the fireballs which are thrown at her from Archeos' lance* *starts to near Liliana's castle, with Archeos' soldiers right behind her, Minerve's army being completely outpaced after she had thrown the bus at them*
*enters Liliana's castle*
They're here. Silente, we need to let Liliana deal with Archeos' soldiers. We can hide behind those barrels?
(Purple Velvy! Maybe not torture but we could still role play! Have you done any random role plays yet?)
Beth!
-hugs her tightly-
Don't scare me like that again!
-pulls her behind the barrels quickly-
Tsubaki: I'm alright, I like killing zombies.
Want some chips? *shows her the bowl*
(Purple Velvy? Haven't heard that one yet... I like it! What do you mean by random rp?)
*collapses, tired from the sudden drain in magic, and lies amidst the charred and burning bodies, obscured by smoke*
Kaitlin: *Nods slightly and reaches out to grab a chip, once again forgetting to tone down on her power, she reaches right through the bowl*
*Laughs at his sister as she blushes a brighter shade of red that her hair*
Bethany: I'm sorry. I needed to make sure you were safe. *stays quiet behind the barrel as the soldiers walk in*
Liliana: *smiles at the soldiers, crossing her legs* Hello. Is there anything I can do for you?
Captain: A woman ran in here. Have you seen her?
Liliana: I'm afraid not, dear. I was just sat here. Alone. Looking for some company. Do you think you could provide some for me? *runs her hand down her leg*
Captain: Well I... uh... Probably should focus on the mission...
Liliana: Nonsense. She will have probably escaped by now. I suppose all that armour gets heavy, huh? Makes it hard to run?
Chi: Hey guys, this is my husband Blake and his sister Kaitlin.
Blake, Kaitlin, this is um...Sebastian
S- *waves*
Chi: Cordelia...
C- *glares*
Harrison and Talia, who Blake knows already.
Tsubaki: *Stares at the bowl* Uh....well, at least they were almost finished
*smiles charmingly*
Sil2: -swims quickly, refusing to believe..-
-presses closer against Beth, whispering-
Is she trying to seduce the captain??
Ah yes, the couple from the lake. Told you I would see you again, didn't I?
*He grins then waves back to Sebastian*
James: -teleports into the bar, walking through the congregation, drinking someone's drink then leaning against a table, smiling-
Anyone seen Erica?
Kaitlin: *pulls her hand back quickly*
I- um- I-
... Sorry...
Bethany: I... think so?
Captain: Yes, ma'am.
Liliana: You won't be needing it for the type of company I have in mind. *gestures him to come closer*
Captain: *moves towards her* I suppose keeping a young woman company for a little while won't harm the mission, huh?
Liliana: No. But the loss of a captain might. *grabs him by the hair, moving his head by the side of her throne, so she won't get blood on her clothes* *slits his throat with her dagger, then drops him on the floor without even standing up* *sees the soldiers all raise their weapons, and she smiles* Really? There is no need for this.
-watches from where she is and winces slightly-
Ouch..Mmm...that's a lot of blood..
Bethany: *punches Silente lightly in the shoulder* You can drink mine when this is over.
Liliana: *a soldier thrusts his sword towards her* *she grabs his wrist, knocking the sword aside, pulling it from his grip* *with her other hand she grabs him by the shoulder , slamming his head into the arm of her throne before stabbing him in the back with his own sword, still remaining sat down*
*in a sing-song voice* The more people attack me, the more of you are going to die. I have no quarrel with any of you. No one else has to die. I am sure we could come to some agreement. I even have some handcuffs on my person if you would like to... arrest me.
C- Well we don't want to see you! you're an idiot and a creepy pervert! *stands up, angry.
S - sis, what happened?
Tsubaki: *laughs* It's fine, it was pretty funny actually...you're really strong.
S- *Glares at James, you again. I told you what would happen if I ever saw you again. *stands up*
-laughs quietly and hugs Beth-
Okay. That's fair.
-grins-
Told ya I wouldn't die.
James: -laughs at Sebastian-
Don't quarrel with me boy. I tried to help, not my fault it wasn't appreciated.
(DID I MENTION THAT I AM ******* FREEZING!!!???)
*lies, unconscious*
S- Tried to help? you tried to suffocate me. Now get out, or i'll do worse to you.
C- Bro... *Gives him a look*
S- *ignores her*
(-hugs Kas to warm him up-)
Sil2: -drags herself to the shore, crawling through the ash-
James: -rolls his eyes-
Listen I've come here for a nice drink and to see Erica. Chill.
Kaitlin: I- I guess...
"Idiot and a creepy pervert"
Well, the first one I've been called. The second is new.
James: - smiles at Xan- I said has anyone seen Erica.
James: -smiles wider- you misunderstood. I didn't say I want to see her, I said has anyone seen her.
Bethany: *hugs her back* You did... But I rather think you would have done were it not for me.
*the soldiers look uneasily at one another*
Liliana: I'm just one woman. Surely you big, strong, handsome soldiers could handle one woman? Or would you prefer to do these things in a group?
*a soldier steps forward*
Soldier: Arrest her. Take her to Archeos.
Liliana: Ah, so handcuffs are kind of your thing?
Soldier: This is a serious matter, woman.
Liliana: I rather think not.
(Hate keeps me warm, Sil.
Ok, I'm not actually warm so get your act together, hate!)
*fires around Tanya are dying*
Good to know you have faith in me! I was right where I wanted to be. -winks-
Sil2: Tanya! -crawls to her side-
Thank gods..
James: -grins broadly- answer the question. You haven't have you? She's been missing nearly a week and you've hardly noticed, what with all the fun you've been having.
(-cuddles Kallie then bows to her- cousin.)
James: -smirks- I think you've been playing around and having the time of your life.
S- *Looks at Talia and sits back down* Sorry...
C- *calms down with Harrison takes her hand and sits back down too*
Tsubaki - *watches what's going on*
(-hugs kallie- your beauty grows more each day.)
James: -shrugs- if that's what you think.
Bethany: Sorry.
Soldier: *pulls handcuffs from his belt*
*three soldiers move next to her, flames in their hands*
Liliana: *sighs and flicks a finger towards them* *black energy lifts all the soldiers up into the air, then slams them down into the ground, holding them there* Now please stop trying to arrest me. Although I like handcuffs as much as the next woman, I would rather not be taken to Archeos. *fires pulses of black energy from her palm into each of the soldiers in turn* You can come out, now.
(Hey Kall)
It's fine.
-walks out holding Beth's hand-
Smooth.
(I'm better than I have been kall, thank you for asking.
Ooo! cookies! *takes one* Thank you kall.)
(-munches the cookie- COOKIES!)
*is unconscious so can't really do much*
Sil2: -hugs Tanya and uses what little energy she has left to heal Tanya, falling unconscious herself-
Bethany: *squeezes Silente's hand*
Liliana: Thank you.
Bethany: Minerve's soldiers should be here any minute. I don't know where Archeos is...
James: in which case I guess this stalker should go hmm? Besides I'm sure she misses me already. -teleports away, laughing-
*wakes up in Sil's embrace*
*is warm*
*spreads warmth to Sil*
*lies there happily*
Knowing our luck, right behind them.
-squeezes Beth's hand back-
Tower remember. Makes it easier for us to fight.
Sil2: -still unconscious-
James: - teleports to behind Xan, glancing at the map and teleporting away again-
*Everyone is suddenly down and angry*
(I need to go, I won't get the other laptop tonight as my mother is out and my father is a prick. Goodnight everyone.)
(Night Gem :( )
Bethany: Yes... We should go... But we need to lure them there first so we should stay here.
Minerve: *walks into Liliana's castle alongside Archeos* Daughter. *nods at Liliana*
Liliana: Hello, mother.
Minerve: Thank you for summoning our armies.
Archeos: *looks at his dead soldiers on the ground* And killing them.
Liliana: A necessary sacrifice to remain in cover. Which you both have just ruined. Thank you very much.
Minerve: Get behind me, Liliana, and we will deal with these mortals ourselves.
Liliana: *smiles and sheaths her dagger, standing behind Minerve and Archeos*
Bethany: Liliana? What the... You said you were helping us!
Liliana: I just hate you, Bethany. And I want to see you dead. *gives Bethany a wink from behind the back of Minerve and Archeos* Such a shame... We worked rather well together.
(darn it)
James: - smiles ar Erica, chained as she is to a wall- he hasn't a clue.
-stares at Min and Arch-
-grips Beth's hand tighter-
Liliana you colossal bitch..
Liliana: I know, I know. There is a reason why I wanted Archeos' army to come first. So I wouldn't harm the army commanded by my mother. You can't expect me to help the people who I hate. It was very hard being nice to you. Of a sort. Still, we had fun, yes?
Archeos: This will not be a battle. This will be a slaughter.
Minerve: You mortals never learn not to trust someone who is connected with me. We have a habit of betraying others for our own gain.
Bethany: *takes a step back with Silente, stepping in front of her protectively*
-pulls Beth beside her instead of in front of her-
-whispers in her ear-
The tower is still our best hope. Get there and get your mother.
(xD Kal!)
Bethany: She... she will be defeated... We have to run... We have to get away...
Minerve: *floats a little closer towards them*
Liliana: *forms two daggers in her hands, taking a step forward, smiling*
Archeos: Your plans of defence are irrelevant. You cannot defend against us.
Liliana: *thinks for a moment* Mother, what was that you said about the mortals? They never learn not to trust someone who is connected to you? *thrusts the dagger in her right hand into the back of Minerve's neck, and the one in her left hand into the back of Archeos' neck* You made the same mistake. *lets them drop and watches their forms disappear - into shadows for Minerve, and into fire for Archeos*
Are you two actually going to do anything today other than act as bait?
*Far from the battlefield, a shadow watches with an air of mild interest. It seems stronger than before, more solid*
Erebus: The bickering of lesser beings never fails to be amusing...
-blinks and stops retreating-
Um... I'll admit you've lost me Lil..
Liliana: Stabbing them from the front would have given them time to avoid it. *shrugs* Everything I said then was effectively a lie. Simply to get me into a good position. I gave Minerve's army permission to enter this realm a long, long time ago. And because I am here it seems she was able to use it. Sorry about that. But on the other hand, I did just kill my mother. Kind of.
-blinks-
Um... thanks? I think..
-looks at Beth-
Liliana: *shrugs* No problem. I had fun.
Bethany: *hugs Silente tightly*
-hugs Beth tightly back-
Did we..win?
Liliana: Of course not. Not yet. There is an army coming, is there not? It may be wise to go to the tower.
Oh - and by the way - you two owe me big time.
-shudders-
Yeah..so long as you never as for repayment I'm fine with that.
(IT HAS BEEN OVER 24 HOURS SINCE MY ROOM HAS BEEN HEATED, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN IN MY ROOM ALL DAY SO I WOULDN'T HAVE HEATED IT BY BREATHING. SO IT IS SO, SOOOO COLD!!!!
IT IS FOUR DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE, GUESS WHAT THERE IS NOTHING TO MAKE IT WARMER INSIDE.
FOUR FRAKKING DEGREES!
Just kill me.)
Liliana: I am going to ask for repayment. I can promise no whips this time.
Bethany: We can sort this out later. We need to get to the tower.
-glares at Lil-
Okay Beth..lead the way
