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.

#ChaseForBook9
*steps back through portal* im alive?
I don't even
@ADra: Oh, right. O_O
Dammit. :P
*hopes I don't have asthma or summat*
Thanks. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey guys!
#ChaseForBook9
most of me is anyway
(star, i have asthma)
Hi Dragona! Good luck with that! :)
*screams and hits YouTube with a polar bear*
Now, see, the state I'm in, there's one specific song that'll get my brain into un-frustration again.
And I need YouTube to listen to it. xP
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at robotic arm* might be an improvment
hello trip
Haha no, I don't think so. Asthma hurts. I usually get a really bad pain in my chest after about three minutes of straight running and I get weaker from exercise easier and faster... Not to mention that everyone else's low-exercise is about my medium.,. So I have to work harder to keep up....
So,
Like.
You don't want asthma
*stabs YouTube with a kebab*
Hiya! *waves*
Edward, what did you do?
I swear if you had to do with that robot-
well, my soul demanded a retrial where i showed them the robot that went wrong. for compensation, they decided to let me live however as my execution was interupted, my arm was destroyed but now im a cyborg
... So I'm not under arrest, then?
*casually braids more flowers into her hair*
How..?
Retrial? But you tried to destroy the world!
#ChaseForBook9
erm, you are in the future but not now. that robot was short circuiting
Hey TRip! :)
*sticks the YouTube-kebab on a barbecue* :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: :(
I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBookNine
*tries to eat the Youtube-kebab*
#ChaseForBookNine
we all try to destroy the world. plus my execution was interupted before my soul was destroyed so i was free to demand a retrial
If the robot short circuited, it wouldn't work. One of the basics of wiring.
#ChaseForBook9
Hunter doesn't try to destroy the world. He LIKES the world. If he destroyed the world, he wouldn't have anything ELSE to destroy, so he might as well just destroy furniture instead. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Eh, *shrugs* I'm used to it. Actually, it's why I became a vegetarian xD because being athletic and stuff takes a lot out of me. But never fear! Horseback riding and water sports haven't rendered me useless :3
And I HAVEN'T DONE A DAMN THING WRONG, EDWARD
no, the chip short circuited meaning it went haywire and tried to send everyone to prison. not the actual robot
I should go now. Night!
And star, if your Wi-Fi is going to be turned off could you pretty please read my story before it is? If you have time to, I mean.
That doesn't make any sense. The future is weird. Also, a retrial doesn't warrant freedom, just a second look at the evidence. So, if it was common knowledge that you tried to destroy the world, it would mean nothing.
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: That's good, I guess. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
adra, you havnt done anything wrong now. time travelling robot. you will steal a chicken in a few years
@Dragona: I'll look at it now. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
@Star- *nods*
trip, they owed me for not executing me properly and i demanded to be set free
Um... I don't think that's how it works Edward. I think you went to a parallel universe. You know, where the fundamental rules of reality are different.
#ChaseForBook9
Are
no
the barriers of universes and parrallel time streams are similar so you may be right
That satellite!
It is a pretty thing!
It glows really bright,
It burns everything!
I don't know what's happening, so, uh, *hugs everybody*
*throws cookies at everyone*
*grins at Star and begins making more YouTube-Kebab* :P
#ChaseForBook9
*slingshots a skulcake back at Taia :D*
*catches Skulcake*
*noms*
Danke. :3
Also: You have a slingshot? Awesome. :)
#ChaseForBook9
I always have a sling shot.
Sling shots are cool.
*silence in the library?*
TAIA
WANT ME TO PUT FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR? *gestures to her rather good display of flowers in her own hair*
A CHICKEN??????? *giggles*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh, in case it wasn't obvious, I poofed. Sorry! D:
[Waves]
#ChaseForBook9
*waves to Fabi* Bye dearie!
*tests new arm setting fire to a goat by accident* oops
@Adra: Uh. Sure? :3
#ChaseForBook9
Edward, do try not to kill the livestock.
YAY!
*runs over and sits behind Taia, carefully tying and braiding flowers into her hair and it looks F A B U L O U S*
*squee!*
Ah! Taia! You look so pretty!
FLOWERSSSSSSSSSSS. :)
Hello, Fabi! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*goes to bar and knocks on door*
*grins*
I'm a pretty weirdo. :3
A pretty weirdo with FLOWERRRRSSSSSSSS.
*huggles Adra*
Hey-o, Fabi. :)
#ChaseForBook9
((STAR. YOU'VE BEEN CAVING? OHMYGOSH I LOVE CAVING SO MUCH!!! *flails*))
#ChaseForBook9
WOOHOO! *highfives for weirdos*
I want flowers in my hair too! :)
#ChaseForBook9
flowers?
Awkward silence.
#ChaseForBook9
@Aretha: WE WENT ONCE WITH SCHOOL . . . WHEN WE WENT CAMPING WITH SCHOOL. :)
IT WAS AWESOME.
#ChaseForBookNine
*majestically walks over*
I WILL PUT FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR, TRIP! *bows*
((And a new Iowa picture! I have to make a blog post with all of those sometime... There are so many...))
#ChaseForBook9
IT COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!
:O
I CAN'T ENTHASIZE HOW BLOODY EXCITED I AM!!!!
LAST STAND OF DEAD MEN COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!
((Sweet! Your school sounds so awesome! How did caving come up, anyway?))
#ChaseForBook9
*waves her hand in front of Trip*
Hey
*pokes his nose*
Heeeeey.
Sorry for poofing.
Will be distantly.
That video STILL hasn't managed to play the full way through... :P
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, shit just went down
#ChaseForBook9
Oooh... Sorry Taia :(
Oh? You alright?
SLIPKNOT ARE FROM IOWA.
AND THEY HAVE A SONG CALLED IOWA.
IN AN ALBUM CALLED IOWA.
AND I'M PLAYLISTING THAT ALBUM RN.
:)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh yeah, not bad shit, just shit.
#ChaseForBook9
I went to Ape Caves once. It was cool...
And I have food and homework, so I doubt I'm here... Don't really have the brain capacity to multitask too much...
Loreena McKennitt is amazing... Her voice...
Yeah...
#ChaseForBook9
Ah. okay. *nods*
*puts a flower crown on his head* Gorgeous.
can i have a flower crown please?
I guess you could say it's more of a tourist-y cave, though...
#ChaseForBook9
*video unfreezes and freezes a couple of times, eventually stumbling to the end* That was... minorly unsatisfactory. :P
*returns to doing things*
*high-fives back*
Hey Aretha! Hi Duck!
Sorry? For what, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
*tosses Ed a flower crown*
WOO!
Taia, because your video wasn't working
Huzzah! I am the king of flowers! May all the flowers bow down before me!
And let all the flower maidens duel to the death, to see who shall obtain my hand in marriage!- *slaps self in the face* That's quite enough of that. I think I got a bit carried away, sorry. And thank you Adra, for the flowers.
#ChaseForBook9
thanks adra *puts flower crown on* a crown for a king
FLOWER CROWNS. :D
*screams quietly*
@Adra: Heh, no need to be sorry - not your fault. :)
#ChaseForBook9
WHAT.
IT JUST DELETED MY COMMENT.
:(
Anyway. In year eight, you go camping at this place where you do caving on one day and walk up a mountain another day, plus do activites stuff on the day you arrive. We did caving on the second day, so we did more caving than walking, yay! :) We're only there a few nights. :/ Three forms go at a time, the next group arriving as the first leaves.
It's awesome. :)
And, yeah.
#ChaseForBookNine
*smiles* Oh course!
Edward, the flowers really bring out the shine in your arm.
Hm, two kings, one land. To what shall this lead?
Democracy!
#ChaseForBook9
I want to go caving...
thanks, i may use furniture polish on the metal
OH God...
*runs away to hide under the grass* Oh dear- please don't start killing each other
@Fabi: We were crawling through passages mostly filled with water, wriggling through small holes and climbing up waterfalls. :P
Well, one waterfall . . .
Tourist-y caves are cool, though. :) I've been in a few of those.
#ChaseForBookNine
That's so cool!! My mom grew up on a farm in Iowa, and I've been there for at least a week every year of my life (sometimes twice a year), so it feels very much like a second home to me. Her whole family still lives out there and everything.
Awesome, Fabi!
Also, yes, I am from a parallel universe. This is more fun. And a whole lot more fluffy... *excited mischievous grin*
#ChaseForBook9
What? I said democracy. We can have a flower parliament, and the people can vote for who they want to be flower king!
#ChaseForBook9
Oh God...
*curls up under the grass* Elections, then?
whos in the parliment?
Um, I guess just you and me, 'cause we're the only ones with crowns.
Vote for me for flower king!
#ChaseForBook9
vote me for flower king and i will give out free hedghogs
*pokes head out*
Uh...
*dashes past them to the field*
*stalks among the flowers*
I like hedgehogs
I may go, soon. I'm tired, the wifi is off and I'm on my phone. :P
I can't BELIEVE I only just realised I could go on my phone after the wifi poofed . . . O_O
However, I get free data for a month after I top up, and then it starts using my credit. When my month is up, I'll stop coming on like this. :)
@Adra: CAVING IS AWESOME.
AND HORRIBLE, MOSTLY BECAUSE WATER. :P
I mean, you do wear suits, though . . .
And wellies.
And helmets with lights. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
cast your vote
/I/, will give free skyscrapers!
#ChaseForBook9
'Hum! Hum!' replied the king. ' replied the king. 'Then I- I order you to sometimes yawn and sometimes to-'
He spluttered a little, and seemed vexed.
For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected. He tolerated no disobedience. He was an absolute monarch. But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.
'If I ordered a general,' he would say, by way of example, 'if I ordered a general to change himself into a seabird, and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general. It would be my fault.'
I'm not entirely sure why I just typed that out.
I read through some of The Little Prince earlier, so the mentions of Kings brought it to mind, I guess. :P
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, you got headlights! I just had a flashlight when I went caving, so half the time I had to hold it in my mouth. ;p
#ChaseForBook9
/And/, I'll get rid of that pesky cheese tax, that makes cheese so gosh darn expensive.
#ChaseForBook9
*goes to a ballot box*
ill give out free oxygen and get rid of feathers
*Runs around in circles* FREE WIFI!!!!!!
Also, hai!!
Well, that's just silly. VOTE FOR ME SO YOUR BIRDS CAN FLY!
#ChaseForBook9
vote for me so that lions can fly
But, uh, I'd probably vote for the most reasonable king, in spirit of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and the above quotation. *nods* :P
#ChaseForBook9
*writes "Matriarchy bitches- flower QUEEN Adra" on the ballot and puts it in the box*
Why does everyone worship quinoa?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not sure lions flying would be such a great thing for the populations of everything else... xD
#ChaseForBook9
*puts on flower crown* I'll give out free invitations to my wedding! *laughs* *takes crown off* No, just kidding. I don't want to be flower king. And you're all invited anyway!
#ChaseForBook9
er, trip, if adra voted for herself that makes her the flower queen.
So for me. I shall be an impartial and wise monarch!
Also, actually, you might want to vote for Adra. I think she'd make a very reasonable flower queen.
#ChaseForBook9
I'm not mentioninh it, but I've been laughing about the whole flowers thing for a while . . . XD
So I realised I ought to mention it, so I'm mentioning it. :)
@Ari: Cool! :)
I've never been to Iowa.
Or America.
Or out of Europe. :P
And - yeah, but your battery on your waist was annoying. :)
Poor you, though. :(
#ChaseForBookNine
Uh.... *Pokes Aretha* You're not you... Are you...?
i will bring back the dodo
WEDDING?
#ChaseForBook9
And /how/ exactly will you do that?
#ChaseForBook9
WHAT WEDDING?
Vote for me, the most reasonable king!
#ChaseForBook9
politicians lie trip
Vote for quinoa! Because it's some sort of healthy miracle food and my mom just made a cake-thing out of it!
Death! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
i will destroy air tax
Exactly, I'm exposing your lies. MY OPPONENT IS A LIAR! DO YOU REALLY WANT A LIAR TO BE YOUR LEADER?
#ChaseForBook9
Does someone mind telling me what's happening...? *Pulls out sword and cleans blood off it*
Edward, YOU'RE a politician.
Also.
I am a kick-ass Queen, got it?
I love quinoa
HE IS LYING ABOUT ME LYING ABOUT HIM LYING ABOUT ME LYING
There /is/ no air tax.
My opponent is a liar! A self confessed liar! Vote for me!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi! *Throws sword in the air, hugs Fabi and catches the sword before it hits someone*
ADRA IS FLOWER QUEENNNNN! *runs around throwing flowers*
#ChaseForBookNine
We're having elections to see who the flower monarch should be, Death.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* I'm sort of me. I'm me from a parallel universe. The me from this one died. She'll get herself out of it somehow, I'm sure. But I do know you. We're sisters in my universe. Veracruz told me we're just as close in this one, too, though.
#ChaseForBook9
Well, you guys still need to vote.
#ChaseForBook9
*Shrugs* I'm not here anymore... Wifi is gone and only Fabi seemed to notice my presence.
She died? Wedding? What?
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi! *hugs*
Oh-
Right.
*gives everyone a flower that seems for to their personality and they are all very very pretty and anyone who says otherwise is getting stabbed with a flower*
^ And Trip.
Bye.
(I'm probably not going to be here for the next two weeks. *Shrugs* ))
sorry death, hello
Electing the ruler of the flowers, apparently.
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry, Death. I was really caught up in the elections and all.
#ChaseForBook9
EVERYONE LIESSSSSSS.
YOU'RE ALL LIARS.
BECAUSE YOU'RE HUMAN.
IF YOU'RE 555, THEN I'M 666! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs Rose* Hi!
@ the other two: YOU BOTH ARE LYING
I GIVE FLOWERS!
*is horribly behind in comments, gimme a sec to catch up*
Bye Death...
Stay awesome.
#ChaseForBook9
I doubt I'd vote for anyone who'd target against another competitor. :P
Why not rule together? Like a Council of Flower-Monarchs? :P
HEY DEATH! :)
#CHaseForBook9
i stand down from the election. i vote queen adra
*hugs Rose* Oh. Okay :/
Star- I don't think you want to be 666 but thank you for the vote
DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH
I NOTICED YOU
I JUST TAKE A WHILE BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO WORK ON THINGS
MULTITASKING MAKES ME SLOW
SORRY
#ChaseForBook9
*wags her eyebrows at Trip* Feeling beaten yet?
[hugs Adra back]
Um... Thanks. [Takes the flower]
[Murmers the "rosemary for remembrance..."[etc. Too lazy to type up the whole thing] speech under breath]
#ChaseForBook9
@Rose: It takes so long to post conments, I'm ignoring most everybody. :)
You're not the only one, so let them criticise. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
im already the penguin king
Oh? :/
*huggles Death*
See you soon, hopefully. ^^
Sorry, btw, not ignoring anyone- just distant.
#ChaseForBook9
Nice new pic, by the way, Aretha.
#ChaseForBook9
Very noble of you, Edlock. :)
*grins at Trip and Adra*
Why not rule together? :P / :3
#ChaseForBook9
tadra for the flower royalty
VOTE TADRA!
#ChaseForBook9
*cheers*
Tadra for flower royalty? :3
(I love how this all escalated from braiding flowers in hair. :P)
#ChaseForBook9
Braiding flowers is just what I do- YOU lot decided to make a democracy out of it.
*frowns* Not certain I meant the question mark.
*!
I think. :P
#ChaseForBook9
I decided nothing of the sort!! :P
#ChaseForBook9
@Adra: It was lyrics. The Heretic Anthem. :)
555 stands for humans.
777 stands for heaven.
666 stands for different.
Apparently.
I've also heard that 555 is like sheep and 666 is like a beast . . .
ANYWAY.
IF YOU'RE 555, THEN I'M 666
IF YOU'RE 555, I'M 666
WELL IF YOU'RE 555 THEN I'M 666
(WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A HERETIC?)
IF YOU'RE 555 I'M 666
(WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE A HERETIC?)
#ChaseForBookNine
Read two comments on top of where you said no one noticed you. I left you a thing. ^ Sorry...
Thanks, Fabi.
#ChaseForBook9
((0.0 my stepmom just got the same haircut as me.
FUCK
Is she really that desperate for my dad's attention that she would try to LOOK-?
Fucking hell. YOUR HAIR'S BROWN. NO AMOUNT OF PEROXIDE CAN HIDE THAT.
*end angry rant*))
I don't care about royalty. *shrugs* I just like flowers
*giggles at the comments I totally read right over* Yep, a wedding...
#ChaseForBook9
@Taia: I AGREE ON THE COUNCIL OF FLOWER-MONACHS THING! :)
Hey though.
What if the flowers do not wish to be ruled? O_O
MAYBE THEY'RE NOT 555. :O
#ChaseForBookNine
((What. That's...bizarre.))
[Shrugs] Okay, then.
I'm just sort of going with the flow here.
((Also, I got rid of my other plot idea. Fabi didn't not exist, she just had to track down a criminal who'd stolen some sort of very dangerous magical artifact.))
#ChaseForBook9
Flowers don't mind being ruled so long as they are out to good use, I think.
[Raises an eyebrow]
#ChaseForBook9
ZAAAFY VACK
AAAAH
*hides in a large pile of peonies*
*hugs Adra* :/
That's... I don't even know what that is.
Oh, hey, there's a point - We didn't ask the flowers what THEY wanted.
And now I have a tonne more Little Prince quotes in my head. :P
#ChaseForBook9
I can't exactly read flowers' minds, so... XD
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Zaf!
#ChaseForBook9
Hi! Meh Ari is on YAY i happy
*slinks from the flowers and carefully places Trip in the pile*
*giggles*
Hello physcopaths.
Wow the moment Zafira and I return everyone hides...
Hm... I think I'm going to go finish my homework so I can make the video ded.
Until later!
#ChaseForBook9
*rolls her eyes* Nope! *picks up another flower, braiding it into her hair*
Bye Fabilous!
Sorry, I think I'm gonna go.
I actually feel slightly tired tonight. :P
*hugs all*
You all rule. :3
Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
Bye...did I manage to scare Aretha off? *sighs*
gtg, bye
Bye Edward...*looks slightly dejected* I came and everyone left...
Bye both of you... *Sighs and shifts position on her branch* Stupid cold places are overrated...
*laughs* Ha ha Jayla!
Bye guys! *waves*
Hmm...
*begins to craft a second crown*
its not you jayla, its half midnight for me, bye
I may or may not be here, regard me any which way you'd like.
Yeah and I know its just like EVERYONE vanished..*sighs* I want to take Zaf looking for Niccolo but I rather make sure Aretha is indeed on before I go out.
*shrugs* Whichever you want, Rose- your decision.
Jayla, no. Just.. *laughs at her* no
Msd
Can you explain what you are laughing about?
Adra it is rather annoying
You, Jayla. You're hilarious.
((And what is??))
Back! Sorry for poofing.
*hugs Death* I'm sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
Hello Aretha.
Hey Ari
Okay Rose...
Oh ta, Zaf! Just ignore my question!
*smiles* Are you physcopaths ready to go? You have my instructions Zaf?
Hi, Zaf! Hi Jayla! How's Thax?
#ChaseForBook9
Yeah if you wanna go...*nods* Nervous
Thax? Who is Thax, Aretha? *looks slightly scared* I'm apparently looking for a man named Niccolo Croatoan with Jayla and Alexis
Oh. Okay then. *Sits on her swing with a notebook, casually drawing*
*smirks* We WILL find him, Zafira. He's somewhere...I know you think i'm nuts but...you know my instructions.
