Edinburgh tomorrow, where LSODM will be on sale for a few hours, then whipped away again until the 29th, because we're mean...
So... spoilers. I hate spoilers. I hate them as a reader, and I hate them even more as a writer. I don't even like mild spoilers, such as "Just wait till you see what happens to Kenspeckle!" or "All I will say is... Mevolent."
I get it. I do. You have a piece of information that's bubbling inside you, and you want to share it but you know you can't, so you share a sliver, something you think is enough of a hint to be relevant, but not enough to ruin anything... and yet, even this is a spoiler, because it's alerting someone to something big that's coming up...
I happen to have readers who are very respectful to their fellow Skulduggery fans, a fact that still amazes everyone at Harper Collins. I know that's going to continue, but we all have to be vigilant about this stuff.
I write these books for you to read them, to discover them, to experience them, on a page by page basis. It sounds obvious, right? But spoilers wreck that.
Okay, I shall now stop talking about it. But if you see ANY shop selling LSODM before the 29th, tweet me and let me know.

Um guys
I think I'm turning into one of those weird fangirls
...
The /weird/ ones.
Video diaries
Yeah buddy
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs at Edward* I told him
Bye Rhydian.
#ChaseForBook9
Mara lol that's me and superwholock
Aw *hugs Alexis* thank you (:
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns at Zaf*
You still crazy as ever Kerias??
I can't fight Em, Adra.
I've been given orders to kill whoever is trying to gain access, that includes Emerald.
Uh-oh . . .
Okay, so I was just walking around my bedroom, and I think something's about to happen that I didn't want to happen. :P Dammit.
You see, Hunter thinks that Never's mum is evil. And it's always this massive effort not to kill her. She didn't like Hunter in the first place, and obviously this isn't improving matters. It gets worse and worse, and now he can't stand to be in the same room as her, and yeah.
And now Morgan and co. just met her (after a bit of persuasion. Hunter was all like "You're not going near HER. I'm sorry, but I'm not against locking you all up if it's to keep you alive." And then they pointed out that it would probably ruin her evil schemes if she killed them (they know she isn't really evil, but saying she isn't would just make things worse), and that they can defend themselves, and Hunter was all like "You odn't know what she is or what she can do," but he agreed to it if Never was there, because he thinks she wanted to continue her deception with Never, and then he's just, like, freaking out, and saying they can talk to her for this amount of time but then COME OUT OR I WILL KILL HER, I'M NOT KIDDING). And then she insulted them and Hunter in, like, her second sentence, and Morgan kind of gave the converstaion-equivilant of going "What did you say" in a threatening voice, and then she started having another go at him (to be fair, he does treat her pretty badly, but it's not really his fault), and now Morgan's mad at her, and her friends are just like, we'll let you handle it, so now if Morgan's mad at her that will make it all worse, because then that's one less person persuading Hunter to not to kill her, and if they start having an argument, like right there Hunter'll probbaly just come in and kill her, which is REALLY bad, becausea) she'll be dead (AND I DIDN'T WANT HER TO BE IT RUINS THAT WHOLE THINKINGNESS), and b), him killing someone in front of Black Frenzy is bad, and c), Never's mum's husband, aka Never's dad, who just came back from the dead, and they don't know why . . . he was in the room, and now he will a) be devastated, which is REALLY bad, because he's good, and b) hate Hunter, which is also REALLY bad, because he was one of the pro-Hunter people, and also, it'll be really bad for Never, because she kind of wants to spend time with her dad seeing as how she hasn't seen him since she was eight and he died, and c) maybe start being one of those people who plot to kill Hunter, which would be really bad, because either he'll be unsuccessful and will waste his life, or he's be more successful and Hunter'll kill him, and if he kills both of Never's parents, taht would be SO bad. On that subject, Never'll be hreatbroken if Hunter kills her mum, and then she'll probably go back on Marks' side . . . Except Marks and Hunter are allies now.
TBC
Because when Marks is on his own, he can't possibly kill Hunter, so he might as well not try to unless he has a good plan. And one time, there was this new law, and when Marks came and got people with guns surrounding Hunter like WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU,and Huntr was like, okay, what's your opinion on this new law? (beacuse he and Marks know each otehr pretty well. They got to know each otehr when Marks was torturing Hunter), and Marks was like, IT'S STUPID, and Hunter was like, I AGREE - hey, you know what, if I escape alive, which I will, how about we collaborate over email to arrange something for this meeting about it? I'll debate for it, saying I want it, and I'll email you what I'll say, and suggest possible counter-arguments, and you can think of more, and we can think of counters for those, and you'll win the debate and everyone hates me so they won't want to do what I want, so they'll scrap the law. And so they did that, and then they started doing more of that, and now Marks kind of doesn't want to kill Hunter beacuse a) they're sort of friends and b) he's way more useful alive and collaborating, so Marks is kind of argh, because I mean, his whole job is basically to kill or capture Hunter (capture is best). And if Never is all LET'S KILL HUNTER, then that'll be really interesting, seeing as previously, Never worked for Marks trying to kill Hunter, except she didn't actually want to kill him, and she was kind of a double agent.
. . . Actually, I'm kind of pleased Hunter is going to kill Never's mum now. It makes things more interesting. New plotlines to exploit. :)
So, yeah.
. . . Sorry, that dragged out a bit. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
I'm not crazy! I'm....special
*has no idea what Star is talking about*
I know, Chase.
This is frustrating.
Niall's laugh
oh my fooking god
Niall
These are so beautiful
I just
I can't even
I'm cold and I am shamed
With my laptop, convulsing on the floor
A mean game of scrabble

AND THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA BE EVEN CRAZIER

a roly poly
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: *laughs* That's okay. This story only exists in my head, sooo. :)
I didn't realise quite how DETAILED it had gotten. O_O
But anyway, yeah.
*kinds of drifts, having lost my place in this discussion when I got sidetracked writing all that out*
#ChaseForBookNine
*enters court*
judge: the date is the 26th august 3056 and Edward Fletcher has been brought before the court for numerous crimes. how do you plead
guilty
BUT GUYS
NEVER'S HUNTER'S GIRLFRIEND
SO IF SHE HATES HUNTER AND THEN BREAK UP
THAN EZTER IS MORE REAL
SO YOU SHOULD ALL WANT NEVER'S MUM TO DIE. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Ezter though.
*nods, lying down in the grass with a large yawn*
Star, did you see when I said thanks for the comment?
Wbd.
@Dragona: Yes. :)
You're welcome.
*tries to stop ranting*
#ChaseForBookNine
Was it really surprising? I mean... There were hints. ^^
@Dragona: And I didn't pick up on any of them. :P
I just didn't think he would be a traitor, I guess. :P
It was really surprising. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Well he was moody in part 2, had next to no part in most of them then was late when the citadel was attacked - because he was a part of it.
*flips a knife around her hand, tossing it high into the air, catching it, over and over*
judge: the jury has heard your plea and finds you guilty. your sentence will be delivered shortly
And this is why I hate spoilers as much as Derek. Because I love it when things hit you in the face like that. I'll never read a story for the first time again. I have billions of times to look for clues and hints and know it, but only once can I be taken by surprise.
I hate spoilers, so much.
I hate even the hint of spoilers, like Derek mentioned, because then you're waiting for soemthing tp happen and it doesn't surprise you.
I hate even the hint of a hint.
My sister doesn't get it. She LIKES spoilers. So she doesn't get how annoyed I get when she tries to spoil something for me. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*returns*
#ChaseForBook9
@Dragona: I still didn't realise. :P
And it's great that the hints were there, because then people can spot them on rereads. :)
And it's also great that people DON'T realise, because if they're like me, they like surprises. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Snowlockkkkkkkkkkkkkk
#ChaseForBook9
*doesn't comment on Edward's predicament*
*tucks her knife away, sitting against a tree, yawning and staring off into space*
judge: edward fletcher, you have been sentenced to torture and death
Star, I know what you mean. It was my intention all along to have it happen. And imo, I think I've done well in keeping the Cerberus intentions hidden.
*her eyes close, asleep*
*immediately open, shaking her head* Noooo
The fuck is up with punishments of the future?
#ChaseForBook9
*is worried for Adra*
#ChaseForBook9
what *is moved to high security cell*
I FINISHED MARA'S PRESENT. O.O
#ChaseForBook9
So...
What's up with Ed?
#ChaseForBook9
*cracks a smile* Well. He did try to kill humanity
HUZZAH!
#ChaseForBook9
Really? When?
#ChaseForBook9
(i got angry and went to the future where i was caught and put on trial. i have now been sentenced)
@Dragona: You have. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*Chase smiles*
Didn't realise I was boring you so with my Cullen brooding, Dark?
*sits in tree*
*looks up at Chase* I'm just tired, it isn't you.
And a bit ago- when you were gone. Twice.
No one knows what they're up to. It seems a random collection of scheming and attacks. But it will become apparent. And despite the fact it's set during ME3, I've integrated the ending of ME2 so yay!
@Fabi: YAY! :)
#ChaseFOrBookNine
*clutches chest and takes a deep breath*
Somethings wrong...
-On the outskirts of Blogland-
*Deacon snarls*
Deacon: Fuck sake! I can't find his spirit anywhere. This is pointless and you are useless!
*Smacks Em across the face*
-Back in Blogland-
*Chase holds his face*
OWWWW!!! What the hell was...
*looks out over the horizon and grits his teeth*
Oh no he didn't!
Chase- please. Keep your head with this. I know it hurts but do not let your rage consume you, or I'll kick your ass, okay? Okay. Good.
Oh shit. *starts seeping out light energy, covering every surface*
#ChaseForBook9
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56B3HWm73L0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
*60,000 volts spread through body*
*shows Adra the red welt on his face*
If this is what it looks like on me, imagine what it looks like on her!
Mr. Chase please stay calm.
guard 1: so we can torture him till he dies right?
guard 2: yeah *turns power up to 80,000 volts*
I know. Just... *averts her eyes from Trip* Keep your head
(Oh come, on guards, get creative! Rip out his fingernails then gauge his eyes out with them or something!)
#ChaseForBook9
*frowns, energy is covering most of blogland now*
#ChaseForBook9
*shows up with rum* Hey guys. You're all about to die again, aren't you?
#ChaseForBook9
guard 1: ok then *throws red hot poker at lungs*
guard 2: i was waiting to use this *places machine at eds feet* chainn his hands to the ceiling
I have no intention of dying. Just duelling Deacon to the death.
#ChaseForBook9
No Vera, believe it or not, we're capable of not dying.
(All right! That's more like it!)
#ChaseForBook9
(trip, the portal is still open if you wish to help torture ed or watch)
Yeah we're fine
Wow I argued with Coco a lot
*machine activates and cracks spread across bones snapping them in half*
Of course you're capable of not dying. But there's got to be some sort of world-threatening emergency, right? And it doesn't look like Eddie over there is doing so hot. *laughs a little* Heh. Hot. Well, anyway. Who needs the most help?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Vera...*sits in tree dangling legs*
*Looks at Vera*
Plus I'm dead already so I don't count.
Deacon's dug up my grave, my spirits vulnerable to tracking.
When did you argue with him?
#ChaseForBook9
Nobody needs the most help from you Vera *has shadows in hand*
*fumes and otherwise tries to ignore Vera*
When he was controlled by Mevolent
(Omg Ari I went back and read when Alastair brought Niccolo back and sobbing...)
*shrugs* Ok then, no need to get all touchy. Pride never helped anyone save the world, as far as I know. But if you guys are cool handling whatever it is yourselves, go ahead.
#ChaseForBook9
*has shadows directed at Vera* I don't like you
Pride? Funny, I was about to say the same for you. *murmurs*
*machines turn off*
guard 1: what happened?
you will pay
*machines turn back on*
Goodbye, Dragona
*appears* Hmm we have Veracruz, a pissed off werewolf, someone who I don't know (Chse) and a dead person? How lovely.
*screams in pain as spears are plunged into chest*
*seethes* This is ridiculous
Whats wrong Adra?
guard 1: the scanner shows he is dead
guard 2: incinerate the body
Oh yeah, you didn't have your little crush on him then, did you? I don't think that whole RedRays thing took too much of an emotional toll on anyone, really, save for Ari. Not like anyone actually liked him then. Which reminds me- why are you so mad at him lately? Are you really going to blame him for Ari, and hold that against him?
I didn't say anything praising myself! I just came in and offered help! Jeez Louise, you guys are so sensitive! *looks at shadows, slightly amused* Yeah, ok. I really don't care if you don't like me. And, alright, maybe that look was a little prideful. But I wasn't before!
#ChaseForBook9
*sits there, in a cloud of her own anger, not meeting anyone's eyes*
*turns to Jayla*
And me.
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles* Hey there, Jayla. Back for more? I can burn you again, if you want. *drinks rum*
#ChaseforBook9
*body is taken to the incinerater*
guard: begin in five minutes
I...no I won't blame him and just because I do like him I can't really do much can I? Alexis has a shot but he won't notice or anything. And what does Niccolò even care if I blame him? I figured he could try exactly what he did to Ari on me and I bet I would be different becausemy theory is my true name is more alive and can handle it because I know it where Ari doesn't.
*goes over to Adra, sits next to her* Adra? What's wrong?
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, to anyone whom it may concern- *points to Ed's portal* I think Snowlock is about to die.
#ChaseForBook9
I do not wish to be hurt, Veracruz. I am simply waiting to see if Croatoan has the guts to come on. Face the music as Zafira probably will strangle him when she sees him, and Trip, I am not in my actual body well I am but I am not in Blogland. Good luck, child.
*doesn't acknowledge him*
Edward dies almost every day, it is no big deal...
Oh good. Because you annoy me. *energy sipped of sound from the inside ball attack on Jayla*
#ChaseForBook9
(actually i am dead already, they are just destroying my body so my soul cannot return)
You know, you can ignore me, but I'm still here. If you need me, I'm right here.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm about to come on as a character... Just to let you know beforehand that it's me.
Still deciding on the character, though. Maybe Raeza. Maybe someone else...
#ChaseForBook9
Trip may I ask, what you are trying to do? You should give up on trying to kill me nobody has managed to.
*frowns, thinking* Well, that might have something to do with it, but... *shrugs* What do I know? You'd have to ask him. (I'm referring to Niccolò, about the name thing. The comment is a bit late, so.)
#ChaseForBook9
And I am not getting...
*goes through portal* HEY WOAH TIME OUT PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
I know, that's why it's hard.
But nevermind, this is stupid anyway.
To Veracruz: Yes I will ask him when I see him. I bet I'm right and I know he won't try it on me but I'm certain it'd work on me. Possibly.
You know, Jayla, he has absolutely no reason to come here. Clearly, all the Bloglandians are intent on fighting their own battles, and really don't need help anyway, and he has Ari to look after. Do you really think he would do anything right now that might put her in danger?
#ChaseForBook9
It's quite true that if one gives up on trying to kill you, one will not manage to.
#ChaseForBook9
No, but...maybe I could help arrange danger for Aretha.
guard 1: block the door i will begin *incinerater warms up*
guard 2: yes sir *guards door*
If you showed up you'd be dead in flash, that's why you daren't. I was killing the illusion because you annoy me, and I wanted to shit you up. Evidentially it didn't work.
Face me. See what happens.
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs* Good luck with that. He hasn't so much as let go of her once since she collapsed. *grins* And both of us will gladly kill you before we'll watch her die.
#ChaseForBook9
((This is completely ridiculous.))
#ChaseForBook9
((How so?))
We'll see. Just you wait, sweetie. ((Meow Ari check your email...Jayla has a request)()
Hey, the amount of times you've called /me/ stupid, I think I'm the right person to come to if something's stupid.
#ChaseForBook9
Ed, just a note- I'm not ignoring you, but everyone seems to be totally fine with this, so whatever. I guess you'll probably just come back or something. Still... That's an incinerator... If I let you get burnt by that thing, it'd be the same as me killing you myself. *incinerator stops warming up*
#ChaseForBook9
*shadow walks to the room* Hey hello fuck no *sends shadow knives at guards*
(veracruz, everyones fine with it because i tried to destroy the world. ed will die and there is a magic bound building stopping you from cancelling the incinerater. its the year 3056)
Good let Edward die. I much rather watch his death. Burning is fun. Especially because the soul can't come back.
I don't know why I'm so worked up about it...
*frowns* I've written books before but I can't find the words now.
*shrugs*
((I don't know... Sorry. Pretend I didn't say that))
#ChaseForBook9
*more guards enter and restrain zaf, keeping the incinerater on*
You annoy me Jayla. Not in the same way as Deacon, just, you're a minor annoyance. A fly that won't go away.
#ChaseForBook9
(I don't use magic. I'm not a magical being. I am, literally, fire. I'm just taking a human form in this place at this moment. But I exist in multiple places, time periods, and planets all at once. And since I am fire, I can control it. But if you'd rather I leave the incinerator on, I will. I'm cool with just about anything, most of the time.)
#ChaseForBook9
About what? You're worked up about what?
#ChaseForBook9
(oh, ok then)
*incinerater powers down*
doctor: i guess we just cut the brain out to stop the soul then *grabs chainsaw*
((I can't just not pretend? Tell meh!))
Oh, yeah. Jayla. Fly. Yep.
I don't even know how to put this though. I'm serious, I just can't find any words. Hell.
[Steps through the portal and hits doctor with mind.]
[Yawns and steps out again]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh god shut up Trip.
*attacks the doctor*
Well, are you feeling down, is it something someone's doing or a backstory issue.
#ChaseForBook9
No.
#ChaseForBook9
doctor: the soul is still gone *dies*
*leaves via portal£
Yes will you just shut up?
Um... Someone's doing, but they didn't know that it.. Had an effect on me?
((I was referring to a lot of things. Edward getting himself killed again, the whole Jayla thing... It's ridiculous. I think I'm in a mood to laugh at things.))
#ChaseForBook9
And the person is...
No, Jayla.
#ChaseForBook9
((And if you want to add me being someone else to the list, that's actually amusing me as well.))
#ChaseForBook9
*sighs* you are so annoying
[sighs] You are so annoying.
#ChaseForBook9
Um... *quietly* You?
If I'm so annoying, why not just go away?
#ChaseForBook9
*is a little shocked*
Me? What am I doing?
#ChaseForBook9
Because I like tormenting people and also I am watching for my brother.
This is hardly torment. It's sort of, mild irritation.
#ChAseForBook9
Which is funny to me.
Jayla, hush.
*clears her throat, looking away* No, not you... More of your dark side or whatever you call it... Im the other night, when torturing Jayla, I thought you were gone- and it's no secret you're powerful, but... It's terrifying.
Not to mention the time when Castalan showed up and wreaked havoc and-
It scares me that maybe one day you'll go off on some escapade and you won't come back.
Look at my name, Hadesia. She took over and when she fought she fought she did not care.
What are you six? Seriously Jayla, if you want to be a threatening villain, being as annoying as a fly isn't really the correct direction to travel in is it now?
#ChaseForBook9
Hadesia, was it? Huh. Weird name.
So you like annoying people, but you don't like it when people annoy you back. Hm? [Raises an eyebrow]
#ChaseForBook9
...
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah I know. Like I said- stupid.
O N L Y T W O M O R E D A Y S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
No. It's not stupid. It's just...
I don't know how to respond. I think what you're saying is… I guess I'll just go with sensible, but... I don't know how to respond.
#ChaseForBook9
That is my name. Also I am in love with other's pain.
Oh.
That if you ever do something stupid and get yourself killed I will... *pauses* I would probably die. That is how much you mean to me. *glares at him* Got it?
Aww love is in the air!
Adra and Trip, so when is the baby due, Adra?
You would....
*hugs Adra, tightly, not wanting to let go*
Got it.
*is still hugging, shaking slightly*
#ChaseForBook9
*soundproof energy bubble appears around them, you can't walk through it* That's better.
#ChaseForBook9
*ignores Jayla*
*murmurs* Good.
(Trip: get a room Zafira says)
*sits floating in air*
I don't want to lose you either.*is still shaking*
#ChaseForBook9
*soul floats round watching fight*
(Get a heart, Trip says.)
#ChaseForBpok9
(lol she says it out of character)
Aww the love is in the air...*laughs hysterically*
Well good, because I don't plan in dying any time soon
[Decides there's really no reason to stay and vanishes]
#ChaseForBook9
Still.*releases Adra, resumes shaking*
(And he says it in)
#ChaseForBook9
I must go now. *vanishes* (irl i gtg eat be back soonish)
Bye Fabi! See ya soon.
#ChaseForBook9
Why are you shaking?
Bye Zaf.
#ChaseForBiok9
bye fabi
*huggles Fabi* Okies
I just... Suddenly realised how much you mean to me. Not that I didn't know before. But…
I hadn't really thought about you dying. And it scares me Adra. More than anything.
#ChaseForBook9
Oh good. We're on the same page then. We'll just have to both not die, then?
I guess.
#ChaseForBook9
*begins grinning, leaning back and closing her eyes* Well then now that that's settles...
*has nothing to say, takes her hand and sits back*
#ChaseForBook9
*clears her throat* So... What exactly is the plan for the ball? I'm assuming we're meeting there, yeah?
the ball is on the 1st right?
Sometime around there- Derek finally acknowledged my tweets... So he knows, and I guess it's up to him at this point
Yeah. To both questions.
Co-ordinating a time would be too difficult and susceptible to real world issues.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods again*
Hmmm... *ponders*
ok, i shall not be attending that day
I ded to sneakiness. If it weren't for sneakiness I would hArdly ever get on Blogland.
#ChaseForBook9
There's normally a crap tonne of after parties, you should be fine.
#ChaseForBook9
It is longer than a day, really- about 36 hours, I think? I don't remember...
*raises imaginary glass* hear hear!
*laughs* Oh gods the after parties
good ded and i can be on, i just wont
Oh. Okay. Why?
#ChaseForBook9
??
several reasons.
*appears but does not speak*
Which are?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh hey Jayla.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits up to look at Edward* I think it's Snooooooww
well,im meeting derek the day before, i dont really go to posh partys and i have no one to go with
snow?
Well, what about Snow?
#ChaseForBook9
Snowlock you guys.
*shakes her head* You should ask snow, Ed
