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.

You probably didn't miss me.
Is Rose still on?
[Nods back at Val]
[Nods at Eve, Eld/Sherlock, Zath and Sparky as well]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, Eve.
It's Dylan.
Yes; I changed my fucking name...
And I'm going to change it again soon lol
Dylan! No, Alex now. :P
Hii! *waves happily*
*And Alex
I've been here the whole time. [Nods]
[Dances in a shark-like fashion]
#ChaseForBook9
(there we go)
*walks in* Good day.
*Looks up* I'm here, I'm in my base with Bruno. He's sleeping. *Smiles*
*blinks* Really?
...
...
...
...GROUP HUG!
*doesn't move*
Hello Skulduggery!
...I had to impersonate you once for a dare. It was fun!
#ChaseForBook9
*gazes in awe*
It's the Skeleton Detective.
Hey. -teleports down to basement, and kisses Rose's forehead-
He's cute.
(Also, Eve, do you have any good first names to suit the last name Ricochet?)
[Waves to Death]
[Blinks as well]
I'm innocent!
#ChaseForBook9
*looks at Fabi* really? was it fun? I know its great to be me. so I suppose it must have been fun. Otherwise it wouldnt have been fun.
*tackles* HI SKULDUGGERY.
*Smiles again* Isn't he just? *Yawns and rubs eyes* I don't know why I'm so sleepy... *Grabs another blanket and wraps it around her shoulders*
*grins* I'm being asked about names...me, me. Now this would be perfect if I could actually think of good names.
Um... Hester Ricochet?
*sighs* Welp. That's your dream gone. Sorry, Alex.
Well, it meant I had an awesome hat and an awesome car, so it was indeed fun.
#ChaseForBook9
This is getting more and more fun... *yawns*
*tilts head* no its the martins from the future.
thank you captain obvious.
Gemma, don't be bored!
Hello Gemma! I don't think I greeted you yet.
I don't know why I'm greeting people, as I've been here the whole time, but I'd best try not to leave anyone out once I've started.
#ChaseForBook9
Tally Ricochet... Solstice Ricochet...
*clicks fingers*
I've got it!
SNOODLE Ricochet!
You can let go of me Valkyrie. Any moment now.
Fabi, I pulled you from the conga line 7 hours ago...?
[Nods] Yes, you did. Thanks for that, by the way.
#ChaseForBook9
Hester Ricochet.
Not bad, actually.
Do you have any one syllable names?
That was a disaster thanks to some teenage girll with a skeleton as her partner, I wonder who...?
im feeling slighlty neglected Gemma.
Dont you love me too? I mean sure Tanith and Valkyrie are great. But NO ONE and i mean absolutely NO ONE is as fantastic as me.
I wonder.
Snoodle is the sexiest name I have ever heard. :o
I think at one point during this Ball, I'll find a reason to get upset and run away and leave a shoe behind. If I do, don't go looking to give it back. These shoes are really uncomfortable.
SKULDUGGERY YOU FUCKING LIAR
Our magnificently sexy Golden God is better than you, infinity-fold.
*Bruno begins to cry* Oh dear Lord, not a crying child... *Blinks back the tears in her own eyes and picks up Bruno* Shh... Shh... It's okay! I've got you! *Hugs Bruno*
I ship Skulduggery and Valkyrie. I love all characters but I love the connection between val and tanith.
(I ship Val and Tanith as in Darquesse and Remnant Tanith but that's just me)
There it is, everyone. Looking for a gal? A guy? Just tell them your name is Snoodle. It's magic.
Hmm, one syllable...
I ship nothing ever.
Yay!
-sets up a string from the ceiling of the basement down to the crib, and clicks my fingers, causing sparks of magic and different colours to form around it-
This should put him to sleep. Or give him a seizure. Both will stop the crying...
Who Alex? Are you calling me a God? I don't suit gold though. I demand you change the colour immediately. (;))
Eve, we could reenact Cinderella, and you could lose your shoe then? XD
#ChaseForBook9
The day that Zathract Mist twerks is the day that I leave this blog.
I ship Ghastly and Scapegrace.
Shhhhhhhh.
Rose, could you delete that link?
It screws up my magnification on my iPhone.
*Watches the lights in awe and Bruno starts giggling* *Smiles* It's so pretty... *Reaches out her hand to touch the light*
XD omfg alex
you guys with your strange ships. I ship me and myself. I mean, no one can live up to my standards anymore. So my perfect other half, is me.
He-ay
*stops with the tackle hugging Skulduggery*
*frowns at Moose*
If you don't ship things, what do you do all day long?
Hey Nix!
Ooh, Cinderella! Can I be the pumpkin?
Oh, right, I have to be Cinderella. Darn.
Wow.
No, Miley. Just no.
-deletes the VMAs off my Foxtel and burns the house down-
YOUR ASS IS NOT A TWERKING ASS. FOR FUCKS SAKE, WHY CANT YOU REALISE THAT? STOP RUBBING YOUR FILLETS ON ROBIN THICKE'S MEAT.
Hello Nixion. *sticks out hand*
Nix!
*charges and runs right past him into a pile of flour-bags*
So, Skulduggery, are you saying that when it comes to you and you having sex... *brain explodes*
Or you could just.. You know. Use your hand.
-dies-
*Places Bruno back in his cot and walks out of base*
DAMN! im being pulled away to socialise. THE HORROR.
*waves*
apparently this must be done.
(PEOPLE D: bye guys)
Hello Nix.
@Eve Well, the pumpkin wouldn't technically need shoes either, so... [Shrugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Alex...Blogland is supposed to be an excape from all the bad things in the world. That includes Miley at the VMAs. *shudders*
ZATH. -pokes with a fire poker-
Twerk for meh.
Goodbye Skul/Eld
#ChaseForBook9
Bye Skulduggery! Happy living!
Dylan don't start this again.
Just shut up.
Things are getting very creepy...
Bye Skulduggery
Being alright in the head is an easy goal to achieve with Alex around... (still thinking, by the way)
I would just like to point out, Skulduggery has no skin nor organs nor muscles...
Sparky:
*falls off chair*
WHAT?
*rereads whole series* Where? Where does it say that?
No, no, I mean he literally can't have sex.
I was asking why Alex even brought that up.
*works on eating all the carrot sticks*
*Climbs a tree and starts singing Terrible Things*
I am starting to fall asleep... [Blinks sleepily]
So if I ignore comments, it might be an accident. It might also be on purpose.
It isn't even September yet here...
#ChaseForBook9
Wh- oh, right. Let's keep it 11+, guys.
So Skulduggery has no penis.
Hmm.
I guess strap-ons are always an option...
*claps along to Death's singing*
ALEX WOULD YOU PLEASE.
DUDE JUST STOP NO ONE WANTS TO READ ANY OF THAT
Wait, no, I didn't mean 11 and older, you know that was a mistake. Eleven and younger.
Got it?
*Shuts up and glowers at Eve*
I've got the maturity of a four year old so let's not be weird like that.
*pouts* Why does no one like it when I clap? It makes a great sound. *clap*
Well, Zathract, I will LEAVE BLOGLAND FOREVER if you twerk. Just once. I promise you.
*ground-shaking facepalm*
Well, it's a serious issue.
Some males are born without a penis, and if they want to make it look like they do, then they buy strap-ons. What is wrong with that?
I'm so done with this.
Alex, please, just, y'know, shut up.
*Looks down* Goodbye, everyone. *Vanishes*
*frowns*
Death, where are you going? :(
I'm being serious here.
Just because it has something to do with genitals does not make it rude or dirty.
[Vanishes]
#ChaseForBook9
Let's just trace this back to what you were talking about originally, and THEN it is rude. Now let's move on before someone runs.
Someone ran.
True Alex, but that doesn't mean it makes anything close to good conversation
*sighs and chews carrots*
-spawns one hundred ducks-
Well, anyone who knows the BioShock world, I made a Columbus house, and I'm working on a Rapture in minecraft.
*frowns at Cthulhu* You're looking a a bit chubbier. Has someone been overfeeding you?
Birds!! *cries*
Alex, you say it's serious but it's obviously making people uncomforatble.
Uh...I think I scorched this chair. I didn't realise my dress was still on fire from yesterday.
Everyone got scared away, I guess. *swims*
*sneaks upstairs and starts rummaging through cutlery drawers*
*has already stolen everything from cutlery drawers*
Guuuuuuuys, this isn't fun. Amuse me!
*sits and sighs*
Hey! I need knives, though! For sampl-
I mean, for chopping vegetables. You can understand that, can't you?
*shrugs* Too bad. *keeps all the cutlery away from Eve* *managed to cut self on it*
No, it's...it's not safe for you! Those butter knives will kill you if you give them the chance!
They're already killing me. *holds up bleeding hands*
Give...give them to me. *holds out hands* I'll take care of it, you'll be alright.
*Slips into base and picks up Bruno* Little child, I don't know what will happen to you. Daddy will take care of you when I'm gone. *Kisses Bruno's forehead* Be strong, my child. *Places Bruno down softly and slips away*
Death.... :(
-teleports into the basement and sits with him1
That's right. -smiles-
Hi Alex. :)
And the hardest part of living
Is just... Taking breaths to stay...
And I know in good for something
I just... Haven't found it yet...
But I need it...
*Sighs heavily and curls into a ball*
What song is that, Death?
Miserable at Best by Mayday Parade...
*smiles* I've never heard it, but the lyrics are nice.
What's wrong, Death? I'm not great at responding helpfully, but I can still listen if you want.
[hugs Death]
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabi. :)
I am going to go interrogate people, I think, and after that, back to sleep. Sorry! Bye!
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles and picks up Bruno* And you thought it would be funny
To keep me hanging is suspense
Then I'd run over to your house and I'd
Scale the chain-link fence
That borders your back yard
And I'd climb through your window
And I'd whisper that I love you
As you fall out of your clothes... *Hugs Bruno tightly*
*walks in, holding Lorcan, looking tired*
Morning everyone...
Hello my friends! *has two wine bottles in hand, arms spread wide. Proceeds to chug them down and calmly dispose of them in a glass recycling bin*
#ChaseForBook9
Morning Em... *Walks out of base with Bruno* I have someone that I'd like you to meet.
Morning Em. Coffee?
#ChaseForBook9
*Smiles at Trip* Drunk?
No! I would never come to a ball drunk! *with mock sincerity* It is not gentlemanly!
#ChaseForBook9
No, thanks Trip.
I'm hungry more than anything.
I can have my eats now that the little man has been fed.
*looks at Death curiously*
Em, meet Bruno. *Holds up Bruno* My son. *Pauses* I'm a mum...?!
.....?
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles at Death*
It's a weird sensation isn't it??
How old is he?
*smiles down at Bruno*
Well hello there! How are you?
gtg
#ChaseForBook9
Less than a day... I think... *Screws face up* Ew... I'm a mum... Ew...
Bye Trip! *Waves*
*Smiles* I think I'll give you a middle name... *Looks at gurgling baby* Eli?
*Smiles at Death again*
I'm sorry I snapped at you last night but you can understand what Alex did wasn't right.
*looks down at Lorcan*
Because this little man is all I have left of Chase...
*Nods and smiles* It's cool. It's kinda payback, too in a way. *Peers at Lorcan* He's adorable. I'm really sorry about your loss, by the way.
8 months on and I still can't get used to the fact that he's not around anymore, especially to see this little man grow up.
*Hugs Em carefully*
I really don't know what to say...
*hugs back*
Thanks Death
*Lorcan starts to fidget and fuss in her arms*
Alright little man...
*Carefully lifts him up so his head is resting on her shoulder. He fidgets until he settles again*
We don't know what his magic will be like until he's older. It'll be interesting if he'll be like his dad, his mam or a cross in between.
*Smiles* I really wish I knew how to respond... It would be cute, yeah...
*Looks at Bruno and smiles* I wonder what he'll grow up to be...
Hello?
OH NO
NO
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING
I GOT FIRST?
DAMMIT
Oh while I think of it, anyone else interested in coming on the Blogland Minecraft??
We've got a nice little community going now.
Hey Zath! *Chuckles* I can't get on Minecraft... Our wifi is playing up... It won't let us one Minecraft, as is. Maybe when I go to the state library...
Sorry, I don't play Minecraft.
I have a not-so-secret loathing for it.
Lol even though some minions are on it and we've practically made Blogland??
And I think I did Sparky's treehouse all wrong!!!
Yep.
Just because some of my friends like something doesn't mean I will. A lot of people like Pop and Dubstep and I hate all that too.
And yeah, probably. It's a lot larger than people would assume when they see the word "treehouse".
So can you help me then?
How many floors?? What is in each floor?? What goes where and how big is the tree??
Hm. Trees must be pretty fucking big in Blogland...
Well I know I can make them huge in the minecraft so it doesn't matter how big the house is, we can build the tree to fit the house.
And Bruno is lovely, Alex.
*Waves to Alex* Hey... *Walks over to him and passed Bruno*
I actually have no idea.
I know that there's an entire floor dedicated to a bowling alley. There's an armoury.
There's balconies with hammocks and ugh.
You'd better ask her.
I kinda fell asleep... but im glad, reading the comments...
I have a cracked version of minecraft, but I can't play Multiplayer.
Thank you. -holds Bruno and gently rocks him-
*Smiles* No problem! *Grabs blanket and wraps it around herself* Stupid flu...
But now I really wanna see Blogland...
On minecraft..
WHATDOIDO?
*Curses loudly* Stupid dog just gave me a heart attack!!
*Glances around and wipes the tears out of her eyes*
Meh x.x
Hi. *twirls and tries not to throw up*
*succeeds*
CONTROL.

#ChaseForBook9

Oh...bye then!
Awkward moment when you prank call your teacher... Blissfully unaware that the random number you dialed was their's... *Covers face in shame*
*comes downstairs uncertainly*
*peeks around the corner*
Hello?
Hey adra ;)
Hi Gemma!
Where is everyone? We have about 20 hours left, I think.
Sorry... I'm asleep... *Grabs Bruno and places him in his cot* *Kisses his forehead before heading off to sleep*
Em... tbh I think its only me you and death... if shes ok x.x
I was right.
Awh....
Hm.
*prances into the ball room* Do you think it's time for after party part one? I do. I definitely do
I dont, im half dead.
Ahem. I guess... *pulls a random piano out of nowhere, sitting down, playing a beautiful song*
What's the song? :)
Something I wrote a long long time ago- I doubt it that you've heard it.
Eve?
Afternoon...
*shrugs, still playing* Morning, Em

Ah. Then go rest! *waves her off* Preserve your energy on getting better
