Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, straight from the pen of Mr Tom Percival, the paperback cover for Last Stand of Dead Men...
Sooo utterly cool... and wait till you see the BACK cover... Wait till you see the cover for the Maleficent Seven paperback — a thing of BEAUTY, so it is...
Oh we spoil you with artwork, we surely do...

#ChaseForBook9
((I mean...
Still.., email me))
((If you want))
Serpine: No. Good day. *turns and the purple vapor stuff wraps around Zafira*
*falls to knees screaming*
*hits him*
Serpine: *lets the vapor go and punches Adrasdos*
Ravel: *pushes air sending Serpine flying*
((I'm sorry, I wouldn't know what to say in an email. But thank you. [hugs again]))
#ChaseForBook9
*ducks under it, jumping up, sitting hallway on his shoulders and flapping both of them to the ground, locking his arm in an easy position to break it*
((:/ okay dear *hugs tightly* be well..))
Serpine: *laughs and lets the vapor spread from hands onto Adrasdos* Now thats impolite
(I posted a Fanfic about my favorite part of Skulduggery Pleasant. The Dead Men. I posted it on my monster hunter blog, and it will be the only bit of fanfiction I post there, because I don't really like fan fiction. There are no LSoDM spoilers, unless you count the colors I chose for certain people's eyes a spoiler.
If you want to read it, go ahead. It's short.
If you don't, s'alright, yo, s'all good.)
*snaps his arm back, flipping away* Oh come on, Nefarian. All that time we spent together... The long nights where we tortured each other.. Do you honestly think that hand would effect me any more?
((I'll check it later, Anni.. I'm falling asleep 0.0))
(Y'know, before he died, Nefarian was in Precocious's poker game. I think she's mentioned that before.
She was in love with him.
Tragically, he didn't feel the same way, and he died, when she could've saved him.
So sad, so sad.)
((I'll try. I really have to go now. I'll be back... Eventually?))
#ChaseForBook9
((Adra if you're falling asleep go to bed lol its fine I'm heading off soon too))
Serpine: I would hope maybe fear. Get off me I have better things to do my mission was to give a warning
What, Mevolent is here?
*laughs*
You're soft,
((Alright, Fabroo. Take your time *cuddles*))
((OSMOSIS))
Serpine: *sighs not really caring what she's doing* Did you miss the point of me coming? I said he was alive. Not in this place now but well....soon
(Hey, I still think there are three totally viable Precocious ships.
Osmosis, of course.
Nefarian and Precocious. Don't know what their name would be though.
And one other that I know August/Mycroft ships . . .
Who could it be, who could it be . . .
*laughs cheerily*)
That's really lovely. But- *snaps one side of the cuffs to him, flipping him easily over and grabbing his other arm-8 You're under arrest
(I must say, I have some REALLY good stuff planned for all three of them. You're gonna like what's coming . . .)
[OSMOSIS intensifies]
Wtf? Why the Hell is Serpine here?
Oh, beautiful cover, Landy. Marvelous indeed...
Oh, I saw a boat trailer with Dwyer on one side and Harmony on the other.
Damn you guys... I've been crying over ya...
Serpine: You...*mutters something* Fine arrest me it won't stop Mevolent coming the Faceless Ones speak to him he knows what he's doing.
Ravel: Nefarian be glad she isn't giving you to Ireland or America because you have no idea how much Zafira and I want to kill you.
(Hey, Death Rose! I thought you weren't coming back! I'm so glad to 'see' you!
*hugs*
And Adra . . .
Ohhhhhhhhhh Adra . . .
I am going to REALLY put Osmosis shippers through their paces . . .
*manic laughter*)
Good evening, Blogland.
((Hello Rose! And uh to gloat that Mevolent returned he was the only one i thought would gloat)$
*handcuffs his other arm* good. *shoves him through a portal* *smiles* That's settled.
Rose! *hugs*
Knew you wouldn't be able to keep away forever...
And I'm sorry but msd
Sir! *hugs* Hello
(I'm so sorry, but I really do have to go . . . don't miss the latest episode of Superfluous Adventures . . . there is death and murder and the reason my profile pic is Oscar right now instead of Precocious . . .
Goodbye . . .)
Bye Anni
Ravel: if you don't mind Adra I think Detective Pleasant would love to speak to Nefarian whenever things are settled with him in New Delhi...*takes Zafira's hand and goes to the treehouse*
Olivia: Are they in love?
Well, good bye, Ms. Barnosky.
Greeting, Ms. Dark, Kerias, and Rose.
I very sincerely hope that you are all feeling well.
Hi Sharky
Who isn't Zaf in love with. *lights another cigarette, leaning debonairly against the tree*
Sir, just saying-
You are a teddy bear
Ravel: Zafira? You okay?
Yeah *curls up*
Ravel: Good sleep well *they both fall asleep* ((imma just go to bed)$
A... Teddy bear?
((Goodnight))
*nods* Yes indeed, Sir. A teddy bear. *puts the smoke in her holder, really feeling debonair*
Ms. Dark, could you please elaborate?
Good night, Ms. Kerias. Sweet dreams, et cetera et cetera.
What is there to elaborate?
People can be bears as well.
But I am confused as to why you believe me to be a teddy bear.
Because..
*takes a step forward* *hugs* you're huggable! *steps back, taking another draw*
...
Ms. Dark. I must let you know that I resent the hugs constantly given to me, but do not act upon such feelings due to a wish for general peace and a respect for the residents of Blogland. However, if you insist that I am some sort of stuffed creature, I shall have to act upon my aforementioned feelings.
Thank you for your patience.
*nods*
Indeed... *glances at her watch* Well look at the time. I'd appreciate if you told everyone it was nice knowing them... I've got a fight to get to. *bows deeply to him* good evening. *walks to the side with grave and swagger, snapping her fingers and she disappears*
*ends up back in Estonia, in the rink, feeling confident*
Garret: Empress.
Python.
Garret: What do you say? Training?
Not particularly. A fight for my liberation.
Garret: you were a Jacobin, weren't you?
Not a chance. Robespierre was a loon.
Garret: *smiles* Madame Guillotine was a friend of mine.
*puts on her gloves* I'm sure; are we good?
Garret: See you in hell.
Beat you there...
*they fight*
((Yeah I might leave it at that))
((*grace))
Ah, Madame Guillotine. Sing, swing, savour the sting..-
In any case, goodbye, Ms. Dark. I suppose I shall depart as well.
Guys, I love you but in still gone. This isn't even me. This is Angel Bob.
Because Angel Bob is cool.
And I'm gone.
I'm a stalkerfish, don't forget!! ;)
And no ideas, Sharky...
'Lo. Anyone on? :)
Hello...?
#ChaseForBook9
hello...?
Fabi! Snow! *tackleglomps*
SAPH!!! FABI!!! *huggles*
[hugs]
The thingy changed... It's weird... The corners are sharper, and there's space off to the left. It feels wrong. :-(
#ChaseForBook9
*Laughs and hugs Snow, pretending she's a Duck*
Fabi; The comment box? Yeah, the space to the left really annoys me.
Indeed. Hm... I'm about to post something RP-ish... Wbd til I've finished.
Um... If you don't mind my asking, how much of my plot have you read lately?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh, also, Saph, how are you doing? [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi; Bits and pieces. Judith is the last thing I remember.
Fabi; lots of homework, because it's heading to the end of the year. And I miss Alex. But generally, life's good :) You?
Ah...
I'm...
Not sure...
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Fabi*
[hugs Saphy] [hugs Snow too so she isn't left out]
#ChaseForBook9
*huggles both* i dont have the comment in a window, i open them in a tab. much easier.
(Snowy, are you still here?)
Oh, hello again :) Same. That way I can refresh the page when the internet cuts out.
There isn't a difference on my iPod, so...
#ChaseForBook9
I don't have an iPod. So I wouldn't know :P
wbd, doing... stuff... and i'm about to die because i have to share my writing in front of a bunch of strangers at my schools writers expo.... D:
Snow; Good luck!
I love my mum so much. My brother and I did very well in some tests, (Does your school do Westpac Maths?) so today she bought us a box of chocolates each!
(nope!) cool, saph!
[Laughs at the evil thing I just did in my plot] :D
#ChaseForBook9
EVILLLLL
which reminds me... *evil laugh* i have plans for snow....
Evil thing? *starts quivering in fear*
If both of you kill off your characters, I will kill you.
...
That's a sentence that wouldn't make sense in any other context...
Don't worry. It's not as evil as what I already did. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
XD lol *huggles saph for her crazy sentence*
-_-
((No, it wouldn't. [Laughs and throws a carrot at Saph]
Fabi could sense the robots about fifteen feet away from her when she stopped, but the grass was too tall for her to see. She considered giving them a bit of a chase first, but decided against it. If she did this right, she could melt all three of them before her friends arrived. She was pretty sure they would arrive, anyway. None of them really seemed like the type who would just abandon her. She almost wished they were, it'd make things less...complicated.
There was a sort of sci-fi-laser-gun-type sound, and then the grass a ways in front of Fabi caught fire. She bit her lip. Time to stop delaying.
The first robot was easy. It was the closest, so she could distinguish the fine wires of the control box from the rest of the metal creature. The heat from the fire made melting the control box into a solid block child's play. She opened her eyes and took a few steps back and to the left The other two were farther away, but of she concentrated. She closed her eyes and put her hands over her ears.
The second one melted into a metal puddle, but the third was a bit smarter, staying out of Fabi's mental range, and firing the laser-thing again. Fabi screamed again, and felt it sear the hairs off her arm. She opened her eyes, and her concentration broke. Where was the robot? Where did it go?
"Abby!" She turned to the right and saw Sebastian and Sandra running towards her, Judith at their heels.
"Watch out!" Sandra cried, and Fabi turned to see that the robot was only a few feet away from her. How had it gotten there without her sensing it?
She tried to focus on it, to melt its control box, but something wasn't working. Her magic was failing her. The robot aimed its laser again, and Fabi turned to face it, helpless.
The next thing she knew, the ground was rising up to meet her.
#ChaseForBook9
*hugs Snow back* *Pulls Fabi into a group hug*
Snow, are you a) still unable to move, b) at my house?
((Don't worry, though. I've learned from experience. Killing off your main character means that things will get really really boring.))
#ChaseForBook9
Faaabiiii D:
This is exciting. I love your writing style :)
:O fabi, you are a writing goddess!!
no, saph, snow isn't going to die, but she's gonna come close. so, so many times.... *evil laugh*
no saph, neither! adra helped, the genius.
Okay :) Just wanted to know.
XD *huggles both*
((Aw, thanks! [hugs both of you]))
((If I made you pick between Sandra, Sebastian and Judith to remain in this plot, who would you pick?))
((Um... It won't affect what I'm doing next, just to be clear.))
#ChaseForBook9
D: i dont know, i'd need a character profile or something...
Forced me to?
Hmm. I like Sandra best, then Judith, then Sebastian.
ho hummmmmmmmmm
[Nods] Interesting...
Snow, I don't have one! I haven't defined any of these characters particularly well! That's why Janis and Paul are dead. So I don't have to define them!
#ChaseForBook9
I think I might come up with a roleplay for Saph. *Muses through ideas and plot points*
Oh, thanks, Saph. Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
Um... Anything in particular you like/dislike about them?
#ChaseForBook9
*Thinks* I like the way Judith communicates. She's different, and that makes her interesting.
interesting is good.
[Nods]
Thank you Saph, that's very helpful. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
It is! Sometimes!
#ChaseForBook9
my friends made me make a Quotev account and IDK what the hell i am doing... D:
You're welcome :)
*Saph sits up, carefully, silently swinging herself over the edge of her bunk*
*Dangles there for a moment, then lets go and falls to the floor in a crouch*
Quotev?
some writers sighty thing.... IDK!!
RP---
(be prepared for evil to start... unless i have to go, in which case i will do my evilness tomorrow)
*Snow weaves through a crowd of zombies, sword swinging*
I'm tryingggg to decide when to reveal the big big thingy!
It's so haaaaaard! D:
#ChaseForBook9
I'm just writing RP. Mbd.
Evenin' y'all!
Screams.
Screams all around.
She was on the ground.
She'd fallen down.
But she wasn't dead.
Or even burnt a little.
Someone had pushed her
Out of the line of fire
She turned...
#ChaseForBook9
@Saph Ditto.
@Duck Hi!
#ChaseForBook9
Hey, Duck! *hugs*
Fabi; That's almost poetic. It even rhymes a bit.
Hey Fabi and Saph!
I must agree, that is quite a good poem there.
HELLO DUCKLEZ!!
Indeed. I'd love to say I planned it that way, but not really.
At the same time, though, it's so...appropriate.
#ChaseForBook9
annddd GOOD BYE EVERYONE!!! I HAVE TO GO!!!*grabs onto a pole as my mum drags me away* LET ME STAYYYYYYYYY
oh, and HELLPP I DONAT WANT TO READ MY WRITING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!! TO STRANGERS!!!! HELPPP!!!
*is pulled away bye mum*
*shouts out* GOODBYE BLOGLAND!!
Bye Snow. Good luck! [hugs]
#ChaseForBook9
You'll be great, Snow! Just like your writing :) Bye! *hugs*
Umm...... goodbye Snow....
*Pads softly to the window ands looks out*
*Admires a view of the city, quiet and still. A bright full moon seems huge in the deep blue sky*
*Slips her jacket off a hook and over her shoulders, scrabbling through her desk for a pen and paper*
*Scrawls a quick note to her sisters by the moonlight filtering through the window*
Sorry I'm not here. Couldn't sleep and got restless, Will be back tomorrow. Take care.
xx Saph
*Leaves the scrap of paper on the mess of her desk and turns to the window, feeling the adrenaline and excitement filling her, buzzing and expanding to every part of her body as she takes three steps back, runs, and curls into a ball as she launches out the window, into the dark, dark sky*
((Ooh, a Saphy plot! [is excited] ))
#ChaseForBook9
Gtg, sorry :( Bye!
((Bye Saph...
((Duck and anyone else who's still here: How are you?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh
Oh, yes, I'm good thanks, Fabi.
Quite a bit distant at the moment reading Doctor Who stuff.
How're you, mè lady?
I'm alright, thanks.
Distant as well...
#ChaseForBook9
distant... distant...... distant........... dddiiissstttaaannnttt
I believe we're both too distant for any form of conversation.
#ChaseForBook9
Exactly.
I think I'm going to sleep now. Night!
#ChaseForBook9
Hmm....
Yes, i suppose we are.......
OOH, look... a radiator...
Right-eo! Catch you later Fab!
Wow... that looks like such a scintillating conversation.
*Sighs*
*Saph skids to a stop outside a plain, dark wooden door with a lock but no handle*
*Gasps for breath and pounds on the door three times*
Hmm....
Yes, I suppose it was.........
OOH, look.... another radiator....
*The door creaks open to reveal a girl a little younger than Sapphire, chewing gum with a bored look on her face*
*Her strangely shaped violet eyes take in Saph, from head to toe*
Girl; Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in.
Saph; Great to see you too, Pixie.
*Pixie curls her lips in a mocking smile, before stepping to one side to let Saph in*
Oh, hi Duck! *hugs*
Evening Saph!
Pixie seems like fun -__-
*Blinks* It's evening for you, too?
I really enjoy writing about Pixie. I only just made her up, and suddenly I have massive headcanons.
I'm an Aussie, you're obviously a Kiwi.
It's only a three hour difference.
For some reason, I thought you were English. My mistake :)
I am very sophisticated, and the British are as well. So I'll take that as a compliment.
I might disappear soon, very low battery on my iPod....
Well, I'm half British, so you'd better ;P
Okay *hugs Duck*
------------------------
*Pixie's hand slips into the crook of Saph's arm as she leads her down the hallway, their footsteps echong*
*She flings open the door as they stride into a room full of people with serious expressions, leaning in close to each other to mutter in low voices*
*Pixie lets go of Saph and flops on a bright pink armchair, leaving nowhere for Saph to sit*
Pixie; *putting her boots up on the table* So, how have you boring old lot been? *Yawns* Become any more interesting since I last saw you? Someone I doubt it. *Starts fiddling with an emerald ring on her finger*
*Some people look scandalized, but most just ignore her*
*Saph grabs a cushion off the couch and plonks herself down on the floor comfortably*
*An older woman glares at Pixie, sitting perfectly straight with her hands in her lap* Try being a little polite, just for once in your life Pixie dear.
Pixie; ******* you ******* **** I ********* ****.
*The older woman flushes bright red*
Man with black hair; *disgustedly* Ignore her, Lauren. She's no use for anything. Why was she even invited?
Pixie; This is my house, Jamie, so watch it.
Anyone got any crisps or drink? I'm starving.
Lauren; This is not a party! This is a formal gathering and you must treat it as such!
*Saph pulls a bottle of fizzy drink out of her jacket* Here, Pixie *tosses it to her*
Pixie; Cheers, Iota! *cracks open the bottle*
Jamie; *Gives Saph a contemptuous
glare* Who are you, anyway?
*Saph sits up and matches his glare exactly* Elder Sapphire
Iota of the New Zealand Sanctuary.
*Jamie shuts up*
Lauren; Pixie, you-
*Boy in the corner sits forward* Stop it, all of you. We're here to open the portal, remember?
Pixie; Yeah. *Gulps from the bottle* Strangely enough, I didn't invite every Sensitive in a ten-mile radius because I wanted your company*
*Lauren purses her lips* Fine.
*She gets to her knees in her black suit and begins to draw sigils on the floor*
That was more writing than I realised.
*Jamie draws a gigantic circle on the floor * *Lauren creates the symbols on one side, and Saph carefully copies them across the room*
*Pixie strides forward, beginning to look interested*
*The air inside the circle starts to glow faintly, getting brighter and brighter until there is a hovering green light right in the middle*
Lauren; Quickly. I need some hair from each of you.
*Pixie taks a step back* You're not ggetting my hair!
Jamie; *Snipping off some of his black hair with scissors* You'd better.
Saph; Come on. Just do it.
*Pixie sighs and draws an elegant dagger, slicing off a chunk of her pale pink hairstyle*
*Saph saws at her brown curls with her dagger and gives it to Lauren, who has yanked out a few of her own hairs*
*Lauren mutters something in Latin Saph doesn't catch and throws the hair into the green light*
Well, I'm the only one on, so I'm disappearing now. Bye!
Hey?
*appears*
Ahem. Wbd.
Watching SNK.
*laughs to self*
I don't think anyone else is on here
*stares* silence
Funny how that happens
When I wake up

Hello.
#ChaseForBook9
HELLLLLLO.
*wails* GAH NOW I KNOW WHAT FABI WAS ON ABOUT WITH THE COMMENT BOX!!!!! *kills the random space at the left*
:/
On Word, I generally have a font I usually use (which changes every now and then), and whenever I create a new document I have to go to the page layout settings and make things how I like them. :) 0 space before, 0 space after and line spacing single, with a 0.6 cm indent on the first line. By 'first line', it means whenever you press 'enter' to create a new line, not the first line of the whole document.
WAHHHHHHHHH THE RANODM SPACE AT THE LEFT IS ANNOYING ME! D:

#ChaseForBook9
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but you can't be heard
You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but it's trapped inside
Scared to stop but you don't know why
I tell her to speak out,
Tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
Be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful,
Wonderful, Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak out
You gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You could be beautiful, Wonderful,Anything you wanna be
Little Me
Oooh
Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
Can't write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one way
Run too fast and you'll risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looked so small
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back and tell me listen to my own advice
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back and tell me listen to my own advice
I tell her to speak out,
Tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder
Be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful,
Wonderful,
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak out
You gotta shout out
And know that right here, right now
You could be beautiful,
Wonderful,
Anything you wanna be
Little Me

Whoops! Sorry! Entirely forgot I was here!

#ChaseForBookNine
I think i died laughing
I dedicate this page to the any Minion who is alive after LSODM, hope for the best. That is all.
Oh to Ravel for his epicness and Derek...i forget why.
It's so amazing how the scene feels completely different when Darquesse takes over. It's like . . . you know those Quality Street wrappers? And you hold the coloured plastic up to one of your eyes and close the other one, and the world looks a different colour?
It's a bit like that.
And it's just so amazing, the way she looks at things, she way she sees how they work. It's . . . it's just so flow-y, and beautiful. It's like . . . it's like we've been struggling to write with broken, uneven bits of charcoal for our whole lives, and then she just comes in with a fountain pen and swooshes her way through, and we're just gaping at it in amazement, because we've never known anything like it; all we've known is the charcoal. Like in that film where there's those people with crystals in their hands, and they think everyone has to die when they're thirty, and there's that old man who's only ever seen a few people, and when they meet they're all staring in astonishment because they've never seen anyone old and he's never seen so many people.
. . . Actually, I'm rambling right off track.
A better metaphor is . . . we look at the world through an old TV. It's small, often just blanks out and leaves us blind, and the picture is fuzzy and grey, indistinct. It's so hard to see what is what. And Darquesse just sees it in HD and glorious colour. Like . . . when my grandma got a new TV, she looked at the people on the BBC1 title screen thingy, and she realised for the first time that they weren't dancing in the rain, because with her old TV, the picture had been so bad it had looked like it was raining when it wasn't.
Darquesse can SEE. It's so CLEAR. Whilst everything is a confusing puzzle to us, for her, everything is so visible, and just connects. She can see how things work and know how to break them, when we don't even know they exist.
. . . Sorry, rambling. :P
#ChaseForBookNine
Like, when Valkyrie fights, everything's a sequence of this happening and this happening, and attacks just jump on her and she hits things back to get out of it. When Darquesse is in control, she's just exploring . . . she can see everything happening, and examines how it happens, and takes it apart like you would a piece of machinery. :)

Hi there
THE SPACE IS KILLING ME
OH MY LORD

ARGH
It's EVIL BLANK SPACE. RUN.
Hi Adra. :-)
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Fabroo! *cuddles* Sup?
[Shrugs] Not much, really.
Except the fact that I'm trying to record my song.
How're you?
#ChaseForBook9
I'm in school because unlike some people I don't get sick :3
We're discussing books.
We're losers, apparently.
TO which I say, C'est le Vie, or the French version of "YOLO"
Hi Fabi and Adra! :)
@Fabi: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :)
Good luck. :)
