50267 words written... and Valkyrie and Skulduggery are barely in it.
This doesn't mean, of course, that they won't be taking their usual starring roles in Book 8. Of course they will. But I've had to approach this one in a slightly different way than normal.
Because this book is about, essentially, total war, I've had to think long and hard about how the different sides would fight— such as what tactics they would use in both the short and long term. It means I can't chop and change sequences like I usually would. If they're written, then they've been written for a very specific reason, and I can't mess about with that. So I figured the best way to write about these military actions is to write them FIRST. Write the skirmishes and the battles and the politics and the arguments, and get it all down on the page. Then, once I have the military aspect taken care of, I go back and write my usual Skul & Val stuff around and on top of it all.
It's an interesting way of working, to willingly ignore your main characters for large chunks of writing time. I sincerely hope it works...
Oh, and sometime in February I shall announce the title. I've had this title in mind for YEARS. Some of the early alternatives were:
Skulduggery Pleasant: The Billingsworth Continuum.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Behind Gold Eyes.
Skulduggery Pleasant: It's War, Baby.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Revenge of the Screaminator.
Skulduggery Pleasant: When Warlocks Attack.
Skulduggery Pleasant: A Very Nice Picnic.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Brain-Puncher.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Gut-Eater.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Skulduggery Goes Camping.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Things Get Nasty.
Skulduggery Pleasant: People Gonna Die.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Readers Gonna Cry.
Skulduggery Pleasant: Horace.
And amazingly, the actual title is better than ANY of those! I know, right?

There isn't one. They asked me before they booked it back in Feb 2012 for the tour in Feb 2013.
Sorry:(
Haha, me and my friend have an epic routine of epicness for that song.
Actually, it's pretty lame, but meh.
So now she changes to an even prettier picture and I'm not even going to bother with this any more *goes off and mumbles to self*
Mara, you're actually hurting my feelings now. If you're not pretty than I'm just norrible.
I shall use a helicopter.
Oh my god
Woah! Sounds awesome Fabi! :D
Hello!:D
Oh, dear. The subject has changed entirely!
Hehe
Hello, Lucy!
I enjoyed reading your Skuttlebugia thingy!
Thanks, Mara!
That's quite a lot, Fabi...
This is copied from a comment up there, but:
Hey, Zaf and Clover! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs* How are you both?
*pushes Zaf out of tree*
Mbd - watching Sherlock online
I wasn't expecting one anyway Ieni xD
That's blackmail! *frowns* Everyone's way prettier than me! Especially you, Ieni! You're beautiful from the inside-out :)
HELICOPERS SCARE ME. USE A HORSE.
Heya Luci! *huggles* :)
Heh, thanks, Fabi. :)
AAH!!
*falls out of tree*
Respect Elders!
[Nods] It is a lot! My wall is pretty crowded!
Use a horse...? And yeah mara Ieni is right :D
A SNOW CONE MACHINE?!? There is a snow cone machine in Jessie. Not faaaair.
SLUSHIESSS.

FINE. FINE. OKAY?! I'LL BLOODY WELL SAY IT.
I'mprettykindamaybesorta...? >.^ *winces*
Yay! Now say it WITHOUT the kindamaybesorta :D
*stabs everyone*
Hello!
Ow val, but hey!
[hugs Mara]
You are definitely pretty!
I keep spraying water on my hair, but it isn't getting wet! O.O
Greetings Valkyrie. I most likely shall not stay, due to my rather displaced nature within the current loquacious debate.
[Is stabbed in little toe]
Ow, that hurt! It's always that toe, too!
Hi, Val!
Hello, Sir Reingington. Despite your short stay, may I ask how you are?
I'm not. *pouts*
VAL. THAT REALLY HURT. AND I USED THAT HEAD TOO. I shall need a visit to Ieni's Hat Emporium.
Yes, you are!
[has just spilled water everywhere, cleaning up, brb]
*Ieni's Head Emporium
*thinks* I've never really thought I wasn't pretty. I've got confidence and I'm not afraid to be me, so other than that I just don't care all that much.
And Mara, you ARE pretty.
As well as to be expected.
I'm notttttttt.
Serves you right for calling me pretty.
No, I'm so sorry. Here, let me help!
Of course. However, if you were to be speaking to someone who is uncertain of your usual nature, how would you describe it? Not that I'm unaware, but that I'm curious.
THAT IS IT. HOLLY. WOODY. MOLLY. ATTTTACK.
*watches Holly and Woody pounce on everyone who called me pretty*
Go on Molly, you fat lump.
*pokes Molly with stick*
Hello Val
Hi Zafira!
I might be back later. Chinese dinner and then party!
Bye! *hugs everyone*
I am not pretty. You all are the prettiest and most beautiful people I have ever internet-met.
*teleports to Chinese resturaunt, startling everyone*
Hm... Well, I suppose you could say I am currently existing in a state of emotional mediocrity.
MY HAIR IS FINALLY WETTISH!
I HAVE TO BRUSH IT NOW!
BYE, MAY BE BACK LATER!
MARA, YOU ARE PRETTY!
I mostly read comments, and my computer is a little screwed up so its hard for me to keep up in a conversation, so no, you probably haven't met me before :)
PLEASANT!!!!
Do you know who I am?
Anyone else thinks that Valkyrie talks to much? She is a real pest during my books... And Miss Cain, i hope you prepare yourself for this afternoon war fight. See you there.
Heeeeeeeeeeeelp. I brought this one myself, but I kind of have to write advice for plane journeys. The problem is, I've been on very few. My section on ferries was easy, because I am a ferry EXPERT. Er, ish. Well, not really, but meh. My section on cars was alright, because I know a bit about car journeys. However, planes are right out of my comfort zone. Any advice, people?
I think Valkyrie talks a lot
*nods*
You do realize im an American Elder
Does anybody like kicking in the face?
*on
And now it's like bedtime. *cries*
Okay, it isn't bedtime, but it's LIKE bedtime. Same thing.
*looks at watch* Alright, it's sort of like bedtime. I mean, it's dark, it's nighttime and my siblings are in bed. See? Like bedtime.
Hello Zafira, no i didn't knew who you are. But your sanctuary attacks and isn't really the best enemy.
(we got the killer duo)
I like kicking certain detectives in the facw but apparently as an Elder I'm not allowed to kick people
And some trolls.
How old are you?
Really? Detective, you are deader skeleton when I get my hands on you.
Me? Okay really im 15 in real life but since I'm Zaf
I am at least 300 i lost track
I'm 400 something years old. I think it has to do with losing track of how old i really am. And Kerias,
(i dont judge by the choice of your name) , i am actually already deader than you think.
SkulduggeryPleasant
Anyone knows how i get an axe out of a spine? If you know, inform me.
Ghastly is a statue again and I need a new suit and now i have a problem...
HE WILL BE DEADED.
*nods*
Refering to Nix and Mist, there.
PLANE JOURNEYS! HELP! ANYONE!
If you were going to advise people on how to have a plane journey, WHAT THINGS WOULD YOU SAY????????
Oh - I can say stuff like don't wear clothes with metal on them otherwise you get stopped at the metal detector and searched . . . When we last went on a plane, which was three years ago, I had these metal sparkles on my T-shirt and so the metal detector bleeped when I went through and they had to search me. *nods*
Detective, you have no idea what I'm capable of. I studied Necromancy. I know how to make people beg for death. So if I were you I would be very careful when attacking my country
Mevolent is getting kicked so hard in the face right now
I am happier than you think.
I have necromancy in person inside a small box and i kicked so many necromancers in the face before they disappeared ( Craven, Tenebrae, Solomon Wreath got the ultimate jackpot and so on), i think i can manage a necromancer of your kind...
And you have to put cigarette lighters in those plastic bags for something and put them on this something or somehing, right?
*frowns*
I don't remember, it was three years ago!
And the time before THAT when we went on a plane was, like, like . . . *pauses* Like seven or eight years ago or something ridiculous like that!
And all I remember was how tired we were when we got off the plane at home. And I was trying really hard not to fall asleep in the car.
And that happens to be about it.
I just found out Nefarian Serpine is my father-in-law.
Shocking news...
*giggles at how I'm going "ARGH!!! HELP!!!!" and they're just having a completely different conversation and completely ignoring me*
This is like on TV or in a book or something. XD
Don't woory, I'm not offended, it's amusing. :)
Really? I doubt you can handle me. I will make sure you are floating in a river out of America. Maybe I'll ask my Elemental friend to incinerate your bones
Trolls are nasty.
Ah, hello, Skulduggery.
Really? Faceless ones couldn't kill me. And i hardly expect anyone to defeat my new toy (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/images/Gau8a_k.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/a10gatlinggunss_1.htm&h=480&w=640&sz=60&tbnid=zA_fi2hgYiAYxM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=120&zoom=1&usg=__d1mE0NRc1jMtdklI4saXGhfWCZk=&docid=aiZBjtRzKLrWYM&sa=X&ei=730NUaDdI8mU0QGgsYHADQ&ved=0CHIQ9QEwCQ&dur=335)
hope you enjoy it
Nice right?
VALKYRIE? YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO CHAT WHILE KILLING NASTY TROLLS!!!
Yeah well I blame you for Grand Mage Strom dying. The Irish can't take care of themselves. Someone needs to step in
and why is your head in a golem's mouth?
We saved the world 7 + times while you were sitting in a couch eating chips... I blame you for being really unhelpful.
*abandones English* *flips open German textbook and sees the book translating "When I'm feeling down . . ."
. . . You pull that face you do
There's no one in the world
Who could replace you
Dreams, dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you
It seems, it seems
That I can't change those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too
*starts struggling on memory. Knows tune but only abstract sound of lyrics. Argh*
The little things that take me there
I know it's not right but it's so true
I know it's not right and it seems unfair
The things that're reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just return
Even if only for one weekend
Come on
Tell me
Is this me and you?
*hums instrumental*
Yeah. Sorry. Random things remind me of random songs . . .
I chat while killing trolls all the time.
It's really quite amusing.
[Grins]
Aren't they amusing, Star?
Hm, hmmm..
no.
I have to go.
I have to go.
Oh lets see evil people from Ireland: Serpine, Vengeous, Mevolent, Eliza Scorn, your Necomancers, Dusk, Kitana, Argeddion, oh may I add the FACELESS ONES came through on Irish soil
Lets look at America: Davina Marr, Sanguine, Scarab
Yeah I think America is better you Irish hardly can handle yourselves and we do a lot you guys mess it up
Bye Detective
IVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *wonders if to send mosquitoes after her, or if that will make people take NOTICE of me*
*sings* I'm not ready to live the realm of ANONYMITY!
Being invisible and ignored is actually kind of nice. Gives me freedom to say what I want. I'm not even being sarcastic. I'm actually sincere. It is nice, in a way.
Being ignored irl is not nice nearly as much . . .
Okay, I'm still being ignored, but right now I have no obligation to take notice of how people are feeling or what they're saying.
Now you've gone, I've lost that
Chip on my shoulder
Now you're gone, i feel like
I've gotten older
Now you've gone, it's as if the whole wide world is my stage
Now you're gone it's as if I've been let out of my caaaa-aa-aa-aage . . .
Meh, now Lily Allen is just filling my head. German textbooks are evil, I tell ye I tell ye I tell ye.
I miss my childhood. :(
Let's go back to the start, back to the start, back to the start, back to the start, back to the start . . .
Argh, songs for everything. XD
*you've
HI FABI!
Aw. My ignored status is being, uh, ignored! *tacklehugs Fabi*
Yeah, it actually kind of IS amusing. :P
[Nods]
(cheerfully)
Later, detective!
Oh, sorry!
[is tacklehugged]
Hi Star!
I'm fiddling with my profile again!
Star i dunno...i dont remember planes
Small planes, or big jets?
I am currently walking down the street. Hello everyone. *nods*
Not that I'm an expert on either...
Hello, Mara!
I am currently procrastinating recording myself sing!
Umph
Umph?
Procrastinating. I such a Pro at procrastinating. Ha, haha. Get it?
Thinking if i should make my name Elder Zafira Kerias or wait until August
Its funny.
Because PROcrastinating.
Oh nevermind.
Naw. Family reunion.
Everyone is basically screaming to Ho Hey or whatever it's called...
YOU BELONG WITH ME IN MY SWEET HEART!
My ears are going to be so sore tomorrow...
[Shrugs]
You could always change it back if you don't like it.
Try it on and see how it looks.
Hey-professional procrastinator is my title!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA :D
She's 21 :) Now she's wearing a sash that says 'Birthday Girl' xD
She just screamed for no reason...
Oh, our family isn't normal...
[Nods]
They probably are.
I don't think anyone's family is actually normal.
*blocks ears*
PLAY ONE DIRECTION OR SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID DJ! >.<
Shussssssh!!!
Hmm lets see
Yeah Fab. Every family is nuts in its own way.
Ours is just crazy xD
DON'T LISTEN TO A WORD I SAYYYY
HEY!
Meh i rather not have Derek spoon me
HI FABI!
Like I said, that was kinda nice, but generally, je deteste being ignored . . .
I don't get what is wrong with me. I don't get what's wrong with me and what's so right with my friend. At the moment, there's this girl we hang out with and she rarely talks to anyone except my firnd who some may know as Blue. She always asks her to go with her when she needs to go places, and she always has a conversation with her, and she won't really just start talking easily with me. I have tried. When there's other people, they generally talk together and I talk with the other person(s). When there's other people, it's fin, but when it;s just the three of us, they like talk and I kind of hang around saying nothing and feeing excluded. Blue of course doesn't notice anything.
Which wouldn't be half as annoying if this wasn't the THIRD TIME we'd been in this situation. This is the THIRD TIME someone has 'tried to steal Blue away from us because they like Blue but think the rest of us are just weird.'
God. Blue's my friend, and I have nothing against her, and she's a nice person and all, but what is she doing so RIGHT??? Why does EVERYONE like her???
I don't get it. At all. I honestly don't get it. I don't really mind all that much so long as this doesn't blow into an arguement. I can live easily. But just because I'm relatively happy doesn't mean I GET it.
*scowls*
I don't want to change myself so I'm more popular, though. I am me. I like being me. I am proud of Me and quite happy with myself the way I am, danke. If people don't like me, they'll either learn to like me as I am or NOT LIKE ME, because if I change into someone else and people becom friends with me, they won't be friends with ME because I won't be ME anymore.
I just want to know what's right with her and what's wrong with the rest of us. If it was just me, fine, but there's our other friends and nobody's ever made a beeline for them in the same way. D:
Rant over. Sorry. I'm not actually upset over it. Things are good at school. Nobody's ARGUING or FALLING OUT or NEVER FALLEN IN IN THE FIRST PLACE at all. I'm actually happy about my social life.
You can completely ignore this comment and I'll be fine with it. :)
Good idea Zaf c:
NOBODY WANTS TO GET SPOONED.
I, personally, am afraid of spoons. *nods*
*blinks at Fabi* Oh, yes. PEOPLE CAN GO ON SMALL PLANES AND BIG JETS TOO, CAN'T THEY????? Oh great. Compltely forgot about that. DAMMIT.
Anything. D:
STAR, I'M YOUR FRIEND.
Believe me, I've been in that situation before... *grimaces*
I am afraid when Derek has a spoon
I'm not sure what you're looking for...
I'm deleting that comment when you're done with it, just a warning.
*sees huge penstain on pink jeans and moans* Great.
I KNOW, MARA. :) YOU LOT ARE AWESOME.
I've been in this situation three times in the last year or two. And it's always always always Blue. Which makes it incredibly frustrating . . .
My friends at school are so awesome though. The last time this happened, this girl was coming to lunch with us every day and neither me nor my other friend nor my other friend liked her really, though they dithered, and it was partially coz she was stealing Blue and partially because she wasn't really one of Us and she wasn't all that nice . . . Not mean, just not especially NICE. And then she told me one day she didn't know why I was hanging round with them because I just never said anything really and maybe I should hang round with other people. And I said I had plenty to say, just not on the topics of conversation. And she was like well what do you want to speak about then? And then I can't remember what I said and I just walked off trying not to cry, because I wasn't really upset, I was kinda calm, but I cry when I'm embarrassed, which is, uh, embarrassing, and the other girl was just walking after me in her prety-much-like-the-bogeyman-Lav-is-always-imitating-accent going "I'm sorry but you do understand what I'm saying, right?" And I was just like, "Yes, I completely understand." Because I did. "I understand, just go away. I get it, you don't need to keep telling me."
Only my friends were so jepic coz they completely ditched her for me and we rarely ever see her again. *smiles*
Forever grateful for that. For picking me over her.
She was just not One Of Us at all, though. This is like a mild, watered-down version of that. I'm relatively happy at school atm, thank god. :)
I feel sorry for my sister, though. :( She has big friendship problems going on with her people atm. NOt going to elaborate, though. Violation of confidentiality.
READ.
Danke, Fabi. :) :) :)
Hello again.
I'm not particularly popular, but I have my own crowd to hang out with.
Aloha, Val!
My friends are the ones who are insane like i is
[Considers whether to keep my display name as Fabienne or change it back to Fabi]
PRETZEL MAKIN' TIME!
Oh my God, my ears. >.<
Pretzels are good, exploded ears are not.
Exactly Fabi.
On the bright side, I'm going to ask for 1D :D
Pretzels take a little under 3 hours to make ^.^ SO HIPER
Songs. Not the boys. 1D songs.
Ah, I've never been popular. But I'm fine, so long as my little crowd is fine.
Agreed, Fabi. :)
*scowls* Fountain pens are evil. This stain will not come out. However, I think it's a tad less blue. A tad . . .
All my stain-removing tricks apparently do not work on ink. Pity. I thought I was good at removing stains . . .
Really? I usually make them in half that time, if they all fit on two trays. How intriguing. I wonder which method yields better results!
[Nods] You should, Mara.
Nom noms.
I make mine into words, so I think that may be the extra time. And I'm including letting the dough rise. And my oven only fits six at a time.
*le text messages*
Me: I was wondering if you'd like to come over, for I am a lonely little person.
Zoe: Can't.
Me: Nooooooooo
Zoe: Yeeeeeeeessss
Me: Shaaaammmmeee
Zoe: I AM SORRY, OH LONELY ONE.
Me: AS YOU SHOULD BE, OH SOCIAL ONE.
My conversations are odd.
*hangs now-wet jeans on radiator* *glares at still-present blue stain* Dammit. There went my pride in stain-removing.
Ah, that may be it. I usually just do the usual pretzel twist.
My oven has room for 20 at once if you arrange the racks right, so that's probably part of the time difference.
My recipe doesn't involve dough having to rise, though. That just happens during the 20mins of baking.
But Star I'm 61 pages into Gone and I lost my red bed socks...
*goes sock hunting*
I shall return, once they have been located...
I can't ask him... There's too many people... :(
YO DJ!
They do appear to be odd, Ivy. :) *sends robotic mosquitoes after her*
My text messages:
Im so sneaky!
no your not
Yes I am!
If you tried to sneak onto a bus you would probably knock it over.
No i wouldn't -.-
Yes, yes you would. The whole thing.
YOU MEAN TO ME
muwahahaha.
David Tennant hates you now.
NO IM SORRY!
As you should be.
Definitely odd.
Hi, Ieni! See you when you return!
YOU'RE 61 PAGES INTO GONE???????????????????? *gives Ieni 15 ninjaerolanetacklehugs* *collapses on ground, exhaused*
Msd.
I can't text. My phone is old and doesn't work well.
Well, it's not old old, but I carry it all over the place, do its heavily used.
LET'S GOOOO! IT'S NOW OR NEVA! OOOOHHH!
And throughout this whole time I have only managed to say hi to my cousin. Not even happy birthday.
Yo, DJ!
Play 1D!
my moms complaining that they can hear me inIreland. XD
*My
*in Ireland
I'm back!
I couldn't find them, so I have to wear my reindeer ones, but it's not Christmas and they're not as warm -_- I think my red ones may be lost in all the mess in my room, which I tidied this morning, but it really does look like it.
Yes, Star, I am. Also I assume the 'C' in the letter is Caine, who you are always on about?
*doesn't
*mom's
And she was referring to the high notes on my flute, not me yelling at the DJ, but whatever.
Aloha, Ieni!
Why did susie's ice cream melt?
She was on fire.
Distant, practicing flute...
Hello, Rim!
Hey, Fabi! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
How are you?
Ah, you play flute? That's cool *nods*
Hey, Rim! *hugs*
How are you?
Oooh ded.
Okay.
I ded to my cousin's 21st. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSIE! :D
And to Fabi trying to get the DJ to play 1D for me! C:
And music! Cause it is currently blaring into my ears!
And balloons! Because I'm playing with tons :3
And Derek! :D
And 1D! :D
And all my Blogfriends!
And Little Mix!
And SPPB and MAHU!
And I see my cousin so I'm going to say happy birthday! :)
Brb! :D
Sorry guys. Not actually here. Just wanted to change my name back...
Hello Rim and Ieni!
Damn, Jessie got away again. :( *sings The One Who Got Away*
When I get Scepter of The Ancients back they WILL hear me in Ireland
Heyo Rim!
YES, Ieni. Sorry.
Caine is awesome, though. I stopped liking Astrid after like thefirst book. Sam is meh. Edilio is just . . . Edilio. He's just always THERE, reliable, but kinda in the background, which is SOOOOOO clever, because that's how he's perceived amoungst the characters. :) Quinn is cool, I guess . . .
[is ninjaeroplanetacklehugged]
I'm good, Ieni. I randomly started playing "Who Painted the Moon Black," which is cool, since I'm usually really bad at playing stuff by ear. So I'm in a very good mood! How are you?
Ok, see you Mara!
Never mind. I'm back again.
WE FOUND LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLAAAAAACE!
Nah, Sam's cool too. :) *smiles*
I did a flash mob to that!
Wb, Mara! Thanks for the ded! I don't think I was actually that effective, but thanks.
Ok, Rim! See you!
Ah, nice ded Mara:) And hey! *ninjaeroplanetacklehugs*
Hey, Zaf! *hugs*
Huh, it don't matter:) I don't know anything else about him, because your thingys about him go straight through one ear and out the other:) and *ninjaeroplanetacklehgus*
Ah, that's nice Fabi:) And congrats on the (kinda) name change:)
I'm *thinks* Ienish *nods*
Msd.
Bye Rim! *hugs* :(
Seriously Fab? We did a Halloween flash mob to Triller! xD Irrevelant...
And you were kinda effective... :3
The flute IS really awesome. I'm not just saying it, I really think the flute is a lovely instrument.
Clarients are too black and round and deep, and violens and too high, and cellos are too awkward to carry round, and trumpets are too loud PLUS THEY ALWAYS PLAY MORDERN MUSIC WHEREAS WE PLAY RANDOM OLD SONGS NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF, but flutes are lovely. I'm not just saying it. Always liked flutes. :)
*dies*
Violins aren't too high. They can make an amazing sound, if you can play it properly ;P
But yeah, flutes are awesome *nods*
Flutes are pretty awesome! :D I know a girl who plays the flute. IT'S FABI XD
Sorry. I think the endless amounts of 7UP are making my jokes really bad...
I play the violin, piano, recorder, drums and tin whistle and wanna start guitar!
VAL DON'T DIE!
My flute says it appreciates the compliments! XD
And yeah, Mara, I'm trying to copy the link to it...
*Brings Val back to life*
Val, I don't believe dying is good for you. [frowns in concern]
*quickly takes out four pints of Ivy's blood while she's dead and starts sautering off with them*

I play cello and viola... I've played violin, too, but I just can't read notes.
I got one of the links to copy, but realized you'd probably prefer one of the other videos... Trying to find the one my dad took...
How come you can read Bass and Alto, but not Treble?
Me?
I play only one kind of flute. The standard French kind. I could probably play something simple, like 'Old McDonald' on another kind of flute or fluteoid, but nothing complicated.
*nods* You. Because you said you can't read the notes for violin, but you play cello and viola.
Sorry, it took me ages to get out! In the car now... :)
I can raed bass clef and I used to be able to know some treble, when I played violen for Wider Ops, but I've mostly forgotten it know.
No, wait - the bottom line is a C, because the note below it is a D . . . WOOOH!!! I CAN WORK OUT TREBLE CLEF!!! I'M SO SMART!!!!!!
Away from the loud music? Yay!
[celebrates silently in slow-motion]
Oh. It's because cellos and violas have the same strings - A, D, G, and C - whereas violins don't - E, A, D, and G. If you were to look at cello notes to viola notes, a D on a viola would be one higher than a cello note. But on a violin it's way different.
Hey people
CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES C'MON! *celebrates with Fabi*
