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.

«Oldest ‹Older 3001 – 3200 of 4942 Newer› Newest»Oh- Thax is short for Thaxton. In my universe, he's dating Jayla. You've never heard of Niccolo?
#ChaseForBook9
I know a bit about him but I have no memory of him. Jayla told me of him though. We got to find him.
bye
We don't need to yet, we can wait.
Lol hi/bye Nutty! *waves*
*looks back at her things*
Hm... Well, maybe I could help you, if you'd let me. I daresay I know him well enough.
What are you drawing, Adra?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, ok... Hi/bye, Nutty!
#ChaseForBook9
*doesn't answer*
*but it is a drawing of the London from the water*
Of course. We need help to possibly help him stop his personality going forever, we need to find him first.
(Fun fact: Belfast has walls seperating the Protistan and Catholic neightorhoods..)
Um... Adra? Are you ok?
#ChaseForBook9
*completely ignores everyone, still drawing, humming*
((May vanish for a few minutes- I am becoming quite involved in this paper. Actually, better idea- I'll be back in 30-45 mins. See you all then!))
#ChaseForBook9
I think she wants to be left alone *sits holding Alexis* I have a feeling someone may die.
Okay Ari see you then
LAST STASND OF DEAD MEN IS ON ITS WAY TO MY HOUSE WEEEEEE
((Goodbye Aretha))
*sings whilst drawing*
And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I every thought I might
And, I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I've started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars forever
Boo!!!!
((Hi Jubi! And me too, I think?))
Hello Jubi check Amazon your order of LSODM may be sent out
Hello again.
Wbd, working on the ded!
#ChaseForBook9
((K Fabi*
*sits sideways on the swing, having trouble balancing, but still drawing*
UUGGHHHHHH!!!!! I JUST CHECKED MY EMAIL AND I GOT AN EMAIL FROM AMAZON AND IT SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CARD AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CARD EXPIRED LIKE A MONTH AGO AND NOW IT'S GONNA TAKE LONGER TO DELIVER UGGHHHHHHHHHH
It's all fixed though... I put in the right credit card and YAY but it's probably not gonna get sent out until tomorrow or something -_-
mine said dispatching now...let me go check and make sure amazon DID email me BRB
ARGH!
*rips out the paper, balling it up into her growing pile of discarded ideas, moving on to the view from a ship deck*
oh wait!
ADRA!!! FABI!!!!! JAYLA!!!! *Supermegatacklehugsofdoom*
HAAII!!!!
Hello, Jubilance.
HIYA!
How are you?
I am GOOD AS A GUMDROP!! :D
Hello Adra, Jubi, Zaf.
I'm ordering LSODM when TMS gets here, now that I finally have book money. If I ordered it now, though, chances are it'd get here before TMS, and then I'd read it, because HOW COULD I NOT??? and then probably be confused because I missed a book.
So...yeah. :-/
#ChaseForBook9
*plugs in earphones, humming to Guns n Roses, discarding her sheet*
*goes for drawing an angel*
Fabi, reading TMS after LSODM will not effect it. The book, TMS was set as a side book not totally effecrting the main series, stand alone. You could read TMS before you read Scepter of the Ancients probably....
Well if you read it before Scepter of the Ancients then you would know that Tanith get a Remnant stuck in her...
*gets
True, I guess or you could be totally confused. Though the only thing that sucked for me reading the books was when my friend who read Death Bringer before me said *DEATH BRINGER SPOILER* Oh guess what? Sulduggery is Lord Vile! And she said this when I was about to find out...
That sucks... :-/
All the same, I'm staying on the safe side.
#ChaseForBook9
*glances up for a moment* Good idea, Fabi.
*hoes back to her drawing, swinging slightly*
*Pokes random people just to interrupt the silence*
Crazy...sorry I am listening to my iPod and as my mother puts it: in iPod world.
*looks up*
So that raid...
The raid? *tilts head*
[Pokes Jubi back]
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes Fabi again*
Jubi-
The raid. *grins wildly, setting her notebook down*
YAAY!!!!!!!!!!
WHO WILL JOIN ME!!!
*stands up* I will!
*flows forward*
YAAY!!!!! *sprints to the bar and climbs in through the window that STILL needs to be fixed*
I shall pass on any raids.
You're no fuuuunn
[Yawns and watches in amusement]
#ChaseForBook9
FABI COME JOIN US!
*climbs into the window as well*
*rolls, turning on the Bond theme song on her phone*
*rolls around the bar*
I rather pass, need to be coherant for whatever Jayla Alexis and I must do
WHEE!!! *summersaults around the bar*
IMMA NINJAAAAA
I can't, dinner any min--
FABI DINNER'S READY!!!
Uh, bye!
#ChaseForBook9
*does a handstand flip, landing over the bar counter onto the floor, slinking low to the ground*
*turns*
I know the secrettttt
BAI FABI!!!! *Supermegagoodbyetacklehugsofdoom*
What secret?
Bye Fabs!
*beckons Jubi closer*
*summersaults closer to Adra*
*whispers*
What is it?
*waits by Jayla*
*whispers* not telling!
*holds up to bottles of Tumblesoz*
It's okay, Zafira. We cam waot the world will not be gone. Forever.
LOOPY WINE!!!!!!! *Grabs one and drinks*
I want loopy wine but I can't be inoherant...ADRA I WANT A SHOT OF TUMBLESOZ!
LOPY WINEE!!!!!!!!! *runs around in crooked circles*
*rolld her eyes, drinking from her own bottle, leaving the money under the box when NO ONE was looking*
*does a flip up onto the counter, sitting*
*shakes head* Did you see them going out to fight?
*hic*
*grins, turning on music*
*dances*
Shall be here though,
MUUSIIC!!! *rolls around on the floor, loopy wine spilling everywhere*
NOOO LOOPY WINE!!!!!!!
*pokes Jayla*
Boop.
*grin, tilting her head back and taking a very large swig*
WHEN I WAKE UP WELL I KNOW I'M GONNA BE I'M GONNA BE THE MAN WHO WAKES UP NEXT TO YOU
AND I WILL ROLL TEN MILLION BISCUITS AND I WILL EAT 500 BROWNIES JUST TO BE THE PIE WHO FLIPPED 400 PANCAKES TO FALL DOWN IN THE LOOPY WINE!
*laughs at Jubi, taking her elbow, square dancing with her*
OOOOH GETTING DIIIIZZYYYY
WHEE!!!!!!!
Dear me....
*trips on my own feet and falls down onto the floor giggling*
Back! And that took me longer than I thought... Sorry... Ooh fun! *dances* *actually, doesn't dance, because I can only do ballet and ballroom and I need a partner, and I'd rather not bring out my laptop unless I have to, so you guys might have to wait a bit to meet parallel!Niccolò*
#ChaseForBook9
*laughs at Jubi*
*falls over her own feet, managing to not spill her drink*
*giggles*
heh
Heeeeey Ariii *hic*
*Giggles again*
*tour-jete's into a pirouette, landing in a split*
Yep-
I did that
Hello Aretha. (are we able to go find THIS universe Niccolo or no?)
Adraaaaaa *hic*
You're a nii *hic* iinja
Least I know in their universe even there I'll never be with whom I want...*nods*
Paitence Jayla!
*sets her bottle down, curtsying* Thank you!
*takes another sip of loopy wine*
*stretches* Well, everyone else has something fun to do so hopefully they won't feel awkward and/or excluded... So let's go find him.
#ChaseForBook9
*hums, doing her best contemporary moves to get across the bar*
Alright *takes Alexis's hand* Where do we look?
*rolls under a table*
*nods coming over to Aretha* I'm ready
(side note that comment was supposed to be Jayla...no idea WHY it did not come up as her)
(testing?
Well, if you guys have your own method of getting to him, you can go ahead- otherwise, I can find him easily, and bring us there.
#ChaseForBook9
*grins*
*taps Jubi on the shoulder*
*hits her with a water balloon*
((Jayla, what is your profile picture actually of?))
#ChaseForBook9
Find him and bring us there. It seems it'll be easier. I'm ready whenever you areAretha. As are the rest of us, Alexis and Zafira.
(Some type of demonic looking angel)
uh oooh
I'm all wet now :(
it looks like a squid
*bursts out laughing*
JUBI
*laughs*
I hope that Last Stand of Dead Men becomes available from the US Kindle store, or the US nook store.
Okay. Give me a few. *closes eyes and concentrates*
#ChaseForBook9
Sarah as a fellow American fan I will say that the odds of it happening are slim, best bet is to order the book off Amazon UK.
*waits quietly holding Alexis' hand tightly* Shh child, you will be safe. Nothings gonna harm you, not while i'm around.
YOU DID NOT JUST QUOTE THAT SONG
*sings*
(Yes I did! C'mon it was a totally good moment the song was playing on my iPod!)
*Giggles*
wet
JUBI
WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE
*hides under a bouquet of flowers*
OH NO!!! *covers mouth*
I'm soorryy :(
Yeah! *nods*
*drinks a bit more, leaving it on the counter and dashes outside into the flowers, yawning and stretching her arms*
I'm tired...
Jayla if I die I'm gonna be pissed with you
I understand, Zafira. You know what we got to do, work together to enter his mind as peacefully as possible. I promise if you die I'll make sure Alexis and Olivia are safe.
*opens eyes, touches Jayla's shoulder with one hand and Zaf's with the other, and teleports* *all three are in a dark, empty room* *takes a step forward and smiles gently* Niccolò. *waits for a moment, then continues* You don't have to hide from me.
#ChaseForBook9
*quietly* thank you
*looke slightly shocked* Niccolo...
*stays silent unsure what he will do*
And with that..
I think I'll go. *waves* Sorry, Jubi! *hugs*
*about half the shadows in the room fade away* *doesn't move, but because the shadows are moving, ends up standing in the light* *stares at Aretha* What are you?
#ChaseForBook9
Aw OK :(
BAI ADRA!!!!!!! *Supermegadrunkjubitacklehugsofdoom*
msd..
((Bye, Adra! *hugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
*takes one look at Niccolo* And what are you *feels heart race partly from being around shadows*
((Hello Jubi))
#ChaseForBook9
H-heey Faboooo
*giggles*
(Bye Adra)
((Oh, no, you're not drunk again? [Sighs] You need to be more RESPONSIBLE for your own safety.))
#ChaseForBook9
((I'm working on the second part of the Harralie thing, so wbd.))
#ChaseForBook9
I- I am NOT.... DRUNK. *hic*
*blinks*
and I am TOTALLY.... RESPO- REPON- RES- RESPONSIBLE
...It's a hard word..
((Riiiiiiight. [Hands Jubi a towel] [Goes looking for the bucket of ice water])
#ChaseForBook9
*Looks at towel*
What the heck is THIS for?
((My friend asked me to write some poetry so she could read it. For tomorrow. Here's what I have so far- opinions?
I cannot write poetry
I cannot even rhyme
I'd say I told you so
But that doesn't rhyme either
I'm very bad at poetry
So very, very bad
That if you were to read it
Well, that would be just sad
Ooh, look, a rhyme!
Just one, in three whole stanzas
And I say that as if rhymes
Make a poem what it is
Oops))
#ChaseForBook9
*Growls* Okay, I'm just going to put this out here now: I'm pissed. One of my friends just stole a fifty from my wallet and ran off, there are little kids feeding the seagulls who are circling my food and my friends, it is way too damn hot for Melbourne weather. I'm just generally pissed. Nor am I here.
(*claps*
DEATH! *supermegadrunkjubitacklehugsofdoom*
Ha-haaiii
*glares at Zafira* Why should I answer to you? You're lucky you aren't dead already.
#ChaseForBook9
(([Dumps ice water on Jubi's head] That.))
((I like the first verse, actually. :-)))
#ChaseForBook9
hi
AAH NO NOT THE ICE WATER!!!!!!! *covers head with the towel*
HEY IT'S A BLANKEY!
((*stanza))
((D: That's not very nice. [hugs Death]))
#ChaseForBook9
*pokes Death*
I'm sowwyyy
((Hello Nutty!))
#ChaseForBook9
Hello nutty *supermegadrunkjubitacklehugsofdoom*
Niccolo if you had wanted to kill me you'd have done it before they tell me you're a man who is kind, I see that showing now. So again, what happened to you?
Niccolo...just let us help you if you truly want Aretha back...let us help you.
*falls onto the floor giggling* Hic!
g2g teacher coming
(I'm laughing because Zaf Ari Niccolo and Jayla are like dead serious here somebody may die, then we have Jubi who is drunk...normal day in Blogland!)
(([Goes off for more ice water]))
((Bye Nutty))
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs* I just kicked a seagull!
((It is rather amusing, isn't it.))
#ChaseForBook9
You did WHAT?!?!?!
OHMYGOD...
Poor seagull :,(
*leaves for good!*
The seagull was trying to eat me... It was an evil seagull...bye Addy!
((I'm glad I'm not a seagull...))
#ChaseForBook9
((Death! *hugs* I'm sorry... *hugs tighter*
How about this one?
I cannot write poetry
I cannot even rhyme
I'd say I told you so
But that doesn't rhyme either
I'm very bad at poetry
So very, very bad
That I took out the last stanza
Because it was just sad
It's probably not getting any better than that... I really, really love poetry, but I am God awful at writing it.))
No... He had his reasons for not killing you, but... *takes a step closer* You're not who you should be. *takes another step, hesitantly reaching hand towards him*
#ChaseForBook9
((Hi/bye, Nutty! Hi/bye, Adra!
Death- did the seagull go away after you kicked it?))
#ChaseForBook9
*prepares to intercept if he should attack*
Maybe he did I don't know I just vaguely know who he is
Uni?
( *Hugs back* Kicking seagulls does make me happier and the fifty-stealing friend has just been tackled and it regretting their life choices as their arm is slowly being pulled out of its socket! Not by me, by another person...))
*Looks around and yawns* When will people learn not to kill each other? That day will be blessed.
((I don't know, having the oops at the end made it funnier. Up to you, I guess.))
(([Smiles grimly]))
#ChaseForBook9
I dedicate this page to warm weather, summer, and beaches because they're epic. I dedicate to LSODM because ONE DAY MORE TILL LSODM WE WILL CRY OUR EYES OUT WE'LL BE READY FOR THIS BOOK WE WILL WET OUR TISSUES CRYING
((Oh, ok. Well, that's... Good, I suppose.))
#ChaseForBook9
But... That's still awful.
I'm too tired for a rant.
But I disapprove greatly of that.
(Ari, the seagull made a very funny squeak and hopped away! Literally!
Ooh... There's a train going beneath me, making the ground shake!!! *Laughs* ))
Hurt any of us...I really don't want to do anything horrible to you.
The seagull will come back and get you *Nods*
... Right I'm going before I start.
*waves*
It brought back reinforcements!!!! *Laughs*
Goodbye, Adra.
((Death how about nt hurting them))
*stays prepared in case Niccolo does something violent*
*smirks in response to Jayla* As if you could. Someone like you should learn to tell when you're outmatched.
*takes a step back, away from Aretha, then freezes up*
((Goodbye, Adra.))
#ChaseForBook9
*Is passed out on the floor*
I am not outmatched, Niccolo. say it again, let us help you. *takes Zafira's good hand and both women focus on Niccolo working together to as peacefully and quietly as possible enter his mind* I'm a hundred years younger, not much of a difference you don't have the guts to own up to your mistakes.
Um, you guys don't have to do that. Just give him a few seconds. My work here is done. Can you find your own way back? I should probably give him a little space. You know, not his Aretha and all.
*teleports to Blogland* *sees Jubi* *sighs* What have you done to yourself now? *pours icewater over her*
#ChaseForBook9
((Produce vendors, flowers and
The smell of burning pastries
A man trips, spilling cherries
Peaches, plums and other tasties
Country music drifting softly
Above the humming of the crowd
A woman strolls her poodle
Past the sign "No dogs allowed"
A girl skips for ice cream
With her mother coming slowly
Two classmates turn their faces
Pretending they don't know me
I sigh, take up my sketchbook
And begin to sketch a face
As the mouth curves, start to notice
It's the friend I can't replace))
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* I can. We have the teleporting bracelet...*smacks Zaf*
[Smiles grimly and turns away]
#ChaseForBook9
*sits up gasping*
HOLY MOTHER of LLAMAS!!!
*growls* Thank you dear Jayla...well do we go back?
*speaks quietly* I think you'll find one hundred years can make all the difference in the world. Once you've practiced something for 10,000 hours, you can call yourself an expert. Imagine how many hours are in one year. Ten years. One hundred years. Time is precious; not a thing to be undervalued or taken for granted.
#ChaseForBook9
((Fabi that is such a good poem!!! *.* Write my poetry for me. Just kidding, that'd be plagiarism, and you don't deserve that. It is a really good poem, though.))
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolo, just because you have practiced, you know why am I arguing this? Listen to me! LISTEN *goes up to and shakes* Niccolo you are not yourself. Look me in the eye, you hurt a child! Alexis you must know her, she has one memory of you! She was crying...are you so low to mentally hurt a child? Look at yourself, look what you became without your friend, Zafira came to you willing to help last night, she offered to help you keep your names at bay, OFFERED help. Why would you stoop so low to what you have become?
((Thanks...[hugs Ari]))
#ChaseForBook9
(Very nice poem..*claps*)
*looks away* I know full well what I am, and what I've done. I... I'm sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
I forgive you, Niccolo.
((Thanks Zaf [hugs]))
((Should probably be going soon... Msd))
#ChaseForBook9
I will never EVER blame you Niccolo. I know I said I loved you and I remember that much. Just let me help you please *offers hand*
((Goodbye if you leave, Fabienne.))
*takes a step backwards* I am so, so sorry...
#ChaseForBook9
Jubi, you really need to take better care of yourself...
#ChaseForBook9
Niccolo listen, what can I do to help you? I will help keep your names at bay, that's what you need and then you can focus on bringing Aretha back. I promise, can you trust me? Because something tells me I can trust you. I must have because you had Alexis, do it for her if you will and you know Aretha would want you to get help.
