Laydeeeez an' gentleminions, I present to you, the KOTW paperback cover.
And Tom isn't even FINISHED it yet...! There's going to be some colour stuff happening, and some cool silver effects added and things, but even as it stands now, this is a cover that's going to pop out at you on the bookshelf. For Tom is awesome.
Speaking of paperbacks, we're going to start gradually removing the short stories from the reprints, with the aim of collecting everything (including the Tanith novella) into one big book in the spring of 2014. There'll be lots of brand new stories in there as well, covering the entire series. So will we see a short story starring Mr Bliss, back when he was alive? Will we see Val and pre-Remnant Tanith fighting side by side once again? Will we even catch a glimpse of Skulduggery and the Dead Men at war with Mevolent...?
To be honest I haven't a clue. I'm just making things up as I go along.
Be here on Friday for the Tanith cover...
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT
Annnnnd apparently I won't be revealing the Tanith cover until Friday the 23rd... bah!

«Oldest ‹Older 2601 – 2800 of 4804 Newer› Newest»Hmm...Ok i'll try.
((SORRY SORRY! BAD ME!))
*totally didn't forget to put a 'goodbye' in the previous comment*
*Full disclosure: I did.*
Bye, all! :P
#ChaseForBook9
(I'm sorry, I'm just trying to inject some comedy relief in here*)
(I don't think, Silente wants some comedy relief in there^^)
((*glares at em*))
Sil: why are are you here James!
James: you know very well why I'm here Silente. I'm here because you are still breathing
James: *walks over to a nearby tree and leans against it
Sil: leave me alone James. I'm tired of this
James: oh tut tut Silente, I'm not doing anything to you. Your friends however-
Sil: leave THEM alone
Sil: *stands in front of them* and go away
(Nonsense!!!!!)
(but yeah k)
(*farts one last time*)
(*the scent floats around before disappearing into the air*)
(*and the breeze is rustling the leaves on the tress*)
(*and the world is covered with a soft, orange glow*)
(*laughs* You know what I just realised? Since we have our blog, Mycroft and MithTC haven't met here! Until today!)
Em, when you said draw all of us, do you mean Sherlock Mycroft and chione or...?
(That's true!)
(I mean you, me, and her, or maybe Mycroft, you, and her)
*explosion*
I'm back :D
Damn...I would need a picture for that. I'm not very good at using my imagination for drawing.
(*fart explosion*)
(HEY, HOW YOU DOIN)
James: oh come come Silente. You know that's not going to happen. No the game is much to fun to stop playing. This is all your fault anyway
Sil: how is it MY fault that YOU are an obnoxious idiot?
James:*steps forward* don't play with me Silente, you know what happens when I'm not angry, do you really want to see what happens when I am?
Sil:*steps back* go away. Leave them alone.They've done nothing wrong
James: no but you have. And like you said yesterday, hurting you won't work sooo...
James:*turns in the direction of the others*
Sil:*steps in front of him* no. Not again James. Go back to your lackeys.
I'll need to draw something else then.
(*hrmmm*)
(God, you're making me curious!! :D Stop it!)
((That means you do want one Mithria :3 It would be easier if you just gave me a list of things you liked incase I muck a drawing up.))
(Oh god... things I like? There are far too much. Sherlock would be one... that's sure)
((Hello again em.))
James: lackeys? Oh you mean loyal friends. Well I don't need to. They're here with me. Watching. Waiting.
Sil:*pales* all of them?
James: *chuckles* yes Silente, all of them. Waiting for me to give the word
*looks over her shoulder at the other bloggers* so sad that you make friends with such fragile things.
Sil: they're not fragile. And they're not going to be hurt by you.
James: ah exactly what I wanted to hear! Well I have a proposal. Well, not so much a proposal as an agreement that you'll want to say yes to. You have a choice. Either come with us, wearing these. *holds up some dainty shackles* or we murder your friends in front if you the take you away.
Sil: what?! You can't kill them! Wait wait. Okay. What's to stop you killing them after you put those on me?
James: I'm a man of my word. Now what will it be?
((I know Sherlock, what else))
(*shrugs*
...... Skulduggery, obviously.
Sweeney Todd, Pirates of the Caribbean (or Johnny Depp in general :P)
Old Disney films like Pocahontas, Robin Hood, Peter Pan, Aristocats and so on...
The Mentalist
um... I don't know more right now. Is that enough? :P)
((That's fine, thank you.))
Sil: wait now?
James: yes now. Or would you rather I wait another 121 years? Of course now Silente. Im sick and tired of waiting. Chose now.
Sil: but! *looks over her shoulder at her friends* they'll be suspicious if I just leave...
James: I don't care. Your trying my patience Silente. Now tick, tock. Tick tock.
Sil: okay! Okay. *lowers head and sticks out wrists* okay. Take me. Leave them alone.
James: *purrs out* good girl *snaps the shackles on* now. Come on. *tugs on the shackles making her stumble* let's go. I have the perfect place for you. Straight into the cellar. I think you'll like it. Its been refurbished, yes I had a whole new cellar put in. Full of torture devices. Just for you.
Sil: *silently trudges after him, her head lowered as tears flow lazily down her cheeks*
James:*picks her up and starts to walk away* come on you lot. We've got who we want. *looks down at her* and she's not getting away this time* *continues his slow walk.
(I LOVED THE ARISTOCATS)
(Me too, Em! Thomas O'Malley... he was great! But I really fell in love with Toulouse <3)
(I don't get, though, why the movies seem to make it acceptable to have a stepdad but not a stepMOM.)
(*frowns* I'm afraid I don't really understand what you mean...)
(Toulouse isn't their actual father, but the mother loves him and he's cool, so the kids like him.)
(But stepmothers (or people who are not biological mothers) are always being condemned, like in Cinderella and stuff.
(Oh... now I get it. Huh... I never saw it that way...)
(I mean, not Toulouse, the other guy.... *facepalm*)
(Thomas O'Malley^^ But I understood what you meant)
(I gotta go for dinner... bb later!)
James:*walks away from the woods dragging Silente behind him* I have so much in store for you. This is going to be so much fun. But that can wait till some other day. For now though I'll just put you in your room.
Sil: why wait. I know you want me dead, or at lease servierly injured, so why wait?
James: all in good time Silente. All in good time. *chuckles darkly*
[They emerge from the woods with thousands of others trailing behind them. They carry on walking until they reach a mansion]
James: ah. Home sweet home. Well my home. Not so much yours. *carries on forward walking through the large front doors* *changes course reaching a large steel door* welcome to your room. *pulls out a ring of keys and opens the door* I hope you enjoy it. *undoes her shackles and pushes her down the stair case slamming the door behind her*
The End...for now
((Anyway. Where you talking about the aristocats?))
((Mithria loves old Disney movies))
(Back! And yes, I love the Aristocats :) )
((I have an idea))

Aww. I was hoping you knew a website online that you can watch films on. Ah well
Ho hum
Hey Snow!
*does and odd mix between a bow and a salute* HIA TEMPEST
*raises brow at bowlute * how are you snow?
*feels a weird urge to bowlute back to be polite*
*ignores that urge*
Lololol. XD amazing chio
IMMA GOD TEMPEST
Your a god?!
*drops to her knees in front of snow bowing*
Hello God Snow!
*lifts her head up* wait. If your a god but your names snow, and chio controls snow, then does chio control a god..hmm.
*bows to chio instead*
...you do that when she says she is a god and yet I am the goddess of snow and I don't get treated as such? Miss Tempest.
Nooooo. Imma god and Cjio only controls the thing, not the person/god.
*Chio
Arg I'm confused!
*bows to both*
*runs in a circle*
*runs into a tree*
*falls over*
Ow...
*looks up at chio and snow*
G2g. Bye
Oh bye then snow!
*stands and salutes snow*
*waves*
*looks over at chio* so...hey?
*bows before her*
Wait, what am I doing?
*straightens up*
Since when did I bow? Since when did I view you as better than me...arg confusion!
*runs into another tree* WHY ARE THERE SO MANY TREES!
*tacklehugs Silente*
Arg no my one weakness, hugs!
*starts slowly collapsing* lights dimming
Time slowing

*fakes death* no I'm kidding
*hugs chio back*
*stops hugging her and starts tickling her*
*freezes Silente's hands to her stomach* Ha.
Ar ma hands!
*tries to yank them free*
*it doesn't really work*
((They frozen to my stomach or yours?))
Hey everyone!
There is a new post now!
OMG NEW BLOG! THANKS AMETHYST!
((My question still stand chio, who are my hands frozen too?))
Hello?
Here, right? I think so...
(This is it, right?)
(Apparently?!)
((here yes?))
*spread the dark blue icing onto the free half of the cakes*
*smoothing it out carefully*
((Well this is the link Adra sent so I'm assuming.))
(I didn't like it in the big tab so I had to find it manually. It looked too big and weird and meh)
Now to let it dry and then decorate :D
I hope Blake likes it...
*looks at the time* I should really get ready soon
Also, we ended up here back in March.
Yeah, this is it.
My internet's being flaky and making it hard for me to upload these...
Yes you should! Other wise you mightn't be ready in time!
*nudges her gently*
Wouldn't want Blake to think you'd got cold feet!
((wait why were my hands frozen to someone?! What was happening back then?))
"Chione Asahina - Goddess of snow - said...
*freezes Silente's hands to her stomach* Ha."
No it's only 6:30, I still have enough time.
((Fabi I love the flowers, they're beautiful, although I would rather just the flowers, I think the skull would make the table a bit dark...even though it's for Blake, which was a good idea so thanks))
((oh okay then Dragona. Was wondering what the hell was happening then! D))
((Alright. Shall I try to find something else that's black but a little less deathly, maybe another candle, or just leave it?))
Okay. Just don't leave it too late Chi.
*hugs her*
Your getting married. To the man of your dreams. I'm so happy for you babe.
*stops hugging*
Anyway. Er...
*nods*
((Maybe just leave it Fabi?
Maybe the chairs could be covered in the black material with a blue bow round them?
Idk))
*checks to see if the dark blue icing is set*
*it is*
*sticks on the snowflakes on her side of the cake with icing sugar*
*sticks the black onto her side*
*hides what she's doing from Chi and starts using artistic methods to make the strips more like shadows*
*works quite quickly and makes sure its basically perfect*
*moves so Chi can see*
This okay?
*grinning*
*hugs her back* I love you Silente. Like a sister, really. I'm glad you'll be here beside me for this.
*smiles brightly*
((Repeatedly listening to "here comes the sun" by the beetles right now, such a nice song... I should really be listening to Mine and John's song but meh. I'll listen to it nearer the time.))
((I probably can't find something that specific, but I'll do what I can.))
(I'm currently listening to Suicide Mission from the Mass Effect 2 Official Soundtrack)
Omg Silente that is amazing!
((It's fine Fabi, you have been amazing so far. Love you too Fabi girl <3 *hugs her tightly*))
Love you too Chi. You are my sister as far as i'm concerned. And i wouldn't be anywhere else even if someone tried to take me away.
*smiles*
Anyway let's not get sappy!
*winks and grins*
I don't need you being poofy faced for this wedding! We've already got enough to cover up on here
*motions to Chi's face*
Like those wrinkles!
*laughs and bumps her*
*glares* Remember Silente, I'm only 20.
*laughs and bumps her back*
*looks at the cake* It looks really really good... but you know what we're missing?
((what is your characters actual age Chi?))
Suuure 20.
*grins*
How long you been twenty for grandma?
*laughs*
Nah I'm kidding.
*grins*
You aren't old.
The Bride and Groom!
((Chione is actually 20 in the Fanfiction I write. And my twitter, obviously Hecate is way older))
(Keating is about 25)
Correct!
*pulls the two figures from her bag and puts them on the cake on their right halves*
Wait...should they be on opposite halves to emphasise that we're one?
((well yeah Hecate will be older, Goddess' tend to be. My god she's so much younger than Silente! Silente is 133! And yet she looks 12!))
(( [hugs tightly back] I hope your wedding is amazing, Chione. ))
((Who's the old one now? Ha. Ko :3 love you))
Finished.
Now his ring... And who is going to be minister still?
*creates a wedding ring made of ice, encrusted with diamond and engraved with "Made with love"*
((Omg Fabi that is a great idea, apart from it's out in the open.
Although maybe I could create a hall for all the tables and stuff to go in for the after party next to the lake? The actual wedding is outside.))
Yeah I think so.
*nods*
Groom on your side Bride on his.
*smiles*
*switches the figures around*
Ok now done.
*looks at the time*
Two hours.
We should set up the stuff at the lake now. I'll get ready in an hour.
((Ah, okay. Sorry. :-P Maybe hang the garlands on trees/bushes/poles stuck into the ground? Or create a hall. Whichever you like.))
((I'm still going with you. I'll always look twelve. You'll get old and wrinkly!))
Er..I don't know any ministers..
Who's giving you away?
((Fabi's age is complicated... Time in my plots always seems to move slower than time in anyone else's, and I don't have an age for her that doesn't conflict with anything. So I just refer to the 'time travel incident' and pretend it makes sense. She looks in her early twenties, though.))
...No one.
Oh. Okay then.
Let's set up then.
*loops arms with Chi*
Which lake?
The one straight across *points through the trees*
Okay.
*taps her nose*
*steps through with Chi to the lake*
Here.
*grins*
I should stop being so lazy..
You really should. Since you need to walk with me through those trees holding my dress so it doesn't rip.
*winks*
*is carrying the cake in a box*
((brb, have to take my contacts out, should have taken them out an hour ago but forgot then was eating dinner))
(Chair options. I couldn't find any black with blue bows.))
*looks at the trees*
I can do that. so long as your human clumsyness doesn't make you trip..
*looks back*
Anyway setting up. what needs to be done and where?
((Okay, Chi. Really distant, sorry. Schoolwork.))
((ugh school work. Yucky.))
((Yeah, well, things have to get done.))
((Yeah they do.))
(Back)
((Wb dragona))
(Thanks - how are you?)
((fine! Slightly distant due to life stuff talk yeah you?))
Ok so i'll make the hall here...
*goes over to the right of the lake*
*creates a large building*
*creates the ice-style tables and cups that Fabi found*
Fabi how many of those garlands do you have?
We need lots of chairs too, the white chairs were fine Fabi but how many will we need...
*creates a top table*
Top table 4 seats: Me Blake Silente and Trip
Rest of the guests:
Sophia
Fabi
(will Matex come?)
Adra
Zafira
Ravel
Alexis
Olivia
Aro
Amy (for later)
Who else...?
(I'm fine, thank you)
Hey.
Um, yes, I'm here. :)
Meeting took just under an hour YUS.
STAR! I'M SO GLAD YOU CAN MAKE IT!
*hugs her tightly*
(wb Star. ^^)
@Chi: ME TOO! :)
*hugs*
You're going to have to decide how many of me and my characters you want, though. :)
You Ez and Hunter. :)
Im npt sure. He isn't replying to my email so he might he having one of his 42 hour sleeps again.
*pops up out of a shadow somewhere random in bogland*
*looks around*
Well this isn't where I'm supposed to be at all.
*Tries again and hops up out of a shadow by the lake*
Much better, hullo everyone!
That's 12 including Star Ez and Hunter and Taia for the ceremony and 13 for the after party, If Amy shows up.
@Chi: Yay, okay. :) :) :) :)
@Chi: Yay. :)
Hey baby :3
*Pats his head*
This *opens her arms to the lake and hall*
Is now your responsibility.
I'm going to go get ready.
*kisses him*
.________________________.
Welp, I suppose I'll get started. Does anyone feel like helping me out with seating and such? The wedding's not for a hour but still...
Yeah the bride needs to prep! So bye ugly. She'll see you at the alter!
*loops arms with Chi*
(I don't know how this is going to work but if we're separated into tables I think Sophia would prefer it if she was put on to a table with Hunter and Ez because yeah she likes them)
OH and by the way if anyone is qualified to be minister yeah we need one of those. If worse comes to worse I'll just make up a character to do it but it'd be far better if somebody else could.
(Sophia is a Commander, not a minister - I can't help you, sorry. ^^)
((Then i'll put Ez, Star, Hunter and Sophia at the same table.
Zaf, Ravel, Alexis, Olivia Aro and Christopher at the same table
Forgot Christopher, that makes 14
Amy, Adra and Fabi can sit together, unless, Star, you want to join them instead of Ez Hunter and Sophia?))
((I would but I have no idea what the minister says at weddings. I've been to one, two years ago and all I remember is trying to get my dad and big sister and big brother to behave. Soz..))
((Matex can sit next to Silente if he turns up))
*smiles at Silente as they return to the house*
I'm going in for a shower first. You know, got flour and stuff on myself.
I have six blue, six black, but I can attach/detach them as necessary to make whatever number works.
I probably won't be here for the after-party. I have a school planning appointment thing in three hours. So Amy can take my chair, if that's easier.
Oh...Ok Fabi.
((Silente, look at my other comment))
((Silente, look at my other comment))
I'll stay as long as I can, though.
And each garland is about twenty bunches of flowers...
Aww Damit why did it post twice?!
I DEDICATE TO OUR WEDDING WHICH TAKES PLACE IN AN HOUR! EVERYONE IS INVITED TO COME BY THE LAKE!
Okay you do that. I'll clean up.
*grins*
By which I mean eat the remaining icing. Call down when your out.
*heads towards the kitchen*
((God damit))
Alright Silente xD
*goes upstairs for a shower*
We're running out of posts to comment on....
*Goes around adding shadowy designs to stuff he feels the need to add a personal touch to*
I have no idea what I'm doing...
*runs a finger through the remaining icing*
*smiles and licks her finger*
*keeps eating the icing grinning the whole while*
Mmm. Icing.
*quickly polishes of the light blue*
*moves onto the dark blue icing*
((Hey Jubi will you be here in an hour?))
((does anyone actually know what ministers say?))
JUBILINO
Aye... :-/
*Does his shadow-sink-travel-thing (I need a new name for that) down to the lake and creates some pews out of darkness*
There, and if anyone makes a racket their new seat can be the ground.
*Nods and heads back to the hall*
*Finishes washing her hair and turns the tap off and steps out*
*Dries off and dries her hair*
*open the wardrobe and takes out the black bag*
*opens the bag and takes out her dress then lays it on the bed*
Silente!
(Who the hell likes Hunter and Ez?)
(I would probably prefer to be with Adra and Fabi, but Hunter and Ez might scare Sophia away less if I'm there. XD)
Silente, you could easily look it up- ceremonies usually last about 20 minutes, and most of it is slow moving.
((Well all tables except Zaf's will have a spare seat. I think.))
Adra would want to sit next to Bun and Bear...
She'd ask them to assist her and such.
*Amy, Adra and Fabi
Sorry - the double 'A' and the fact I was speedreading made me overlook Amy, although I did have doubts as to whether it was 'Amy' or 'Adra', so I had to go back and check . . .
Coming!
*puts the stuff to the wash*
*runs up*
Okay good
*looks at the dress*
It's so pretty!
@Adra: Oh, yeah . . .
Do you want me to sit with Amy and Fabi, then, and you can sit with Sophia and Ez and Hunter?
(Why do all these people like them? :P
This is mystifying.)
((Oh, ok then so Adra wants to sit next to Ez and Hunter and Sophia... Welp, i'll put 5 seats round their table just incase))
*puts the dress on*
Zip me up?
*moves her hair out of the way*
*Walks into the hall and makes some garlands out of shadows around the windows and the door*
I'm getting married....
*Looks slightly faint*
I need to find a dress, don't I? Heh...
*zips up the dress carefully*
*smoothes it out at the back*
Done.
*smiles*
...
I know what to say at weddings.
At least, I think I do.
I'm not a minister, though.
((@Adra you can? Oh. I just know there's a butt load of hymns..))
((is that how you spell hymns? It looks wrong..))
*spins and looks in the mirror*
Should I curl my hair and leave it down or could you try and put it up for me?
@Silente: Yeah, hymns. :)
*has used that word in hangman a few times - it's a cool one, no vowels :)*
If you want your hair up I can do that for you sure
*smiles*
Why don't you have it in a bun with a few curled parts hanging around your face?
((There will be no hymns or anything like that at this wedding, I get bored of them too. It will just be we are gathered here today blah blah blah, rings, vows, kiss done!))
That is the proper spelling of hymn, yes. :D
((you could have frozen songs in place of the hymns! *laughs* no jk.))
(Star: Sophia likes Hunter and Ez because they backed her up during the fight)
Yes please Silente :) That would be great *hands her the curlers*
(Still here, just don't know what I can do...)
((Fabi if you need something to do you can get snacks and stuff for the buffet?))
((Dragona, you could try and get a music player or something?))
((Yeah Dragona, I'm sure there's some sort of music player on that big old high tech newly made wreck of a ship of yours :D))
It appears I should come back in half an hour or so...! Ciao! :D
Bye Delivery Guy!
Okay.
*leaves the curlers to heat up*
*pulls most of her hair gently into a loose pony tail leaving some at the front to hang down*
*plaits part of it, securing it with a bobble*
*twists the none plaited part into a bun*
*secures it with a clip*
So, excited?
*twists the plait around tucking it to the bottom of the bun to make it look fancy*
*tucks the end in to conceal it then secures that with a clip*
*steps back*
Okay. When the curlers have heated I'll sort the strands at the front.
*shows her the bun with a hand mirror*
(@Dragona: Fair enough.)
