Book trailers are a tricky thing. When they're done badly, they're a little cringey and vaguely embarrassing. But when they're done right, they're AWESOME.
And because we have the incomparable Mr Tom Percival working on our trailers, we pretty much fit into the awesome category every single time.
I love the fact that it's time to release this. We have other stuff yet to be released/announced, such as what EXACTLY the Theatre of Shadows is and how it can involve everyone around the world. We're always trying to find ways to include our far-flung readers in the fun, and I think we've come up with something special.
But enough from me... Behold the awesome.

( I cant remember how far, it was a while ago. Tbh, I was hoping for something soppy. I don't actually know, but I have soo many books to read)
*looks hopeful* could be...hopefully
Do you know where tha is?
It's space time co-ordinates, hang on *Inputs numbers into watch*
*looks hopefully at him*
bingo *Opens portal*
Will be back in an hour
I HAVE A SCRIPT FOR ONCE-Zaf
*jumps out of seat*
*races through the portal*
(Kay Zaf ^^)
(Ok zaf)
*Steps through portal into field with lament holding vixie a few meters away*
*whispers*
Vixie...
*screams* GIve her back, yo...you stupid potato!
Inky, wait *Walks up to Lament* Give her back
L: *Looks down onto him* of course, but you should know she's not quite herself *Laughs*
*frowns and ears lower* What...have you done to her?
(You should read it again.
Okay I need a vote. I have three books, which do I read.
Blood Tide - 'Love. Hate. So what? This is family. This is business.' London is in ruins. The once-glorious city is now a wasteland cut off from the rest of the country and in the hands of two warring families - the Volsons and the Connors. Val Volson offers the hand of his young daughter, Signy, to Connor as a truce. At first the marriage seems to have been blessed by the gods, but betrayal and devote are never far away in this violent world, and the lives of both families are soon to be changed for ever...
The name on your wrist - In Corin's word, your carpinomen - the name of your soul mate, marked indelibly on your wrist - is everything. It shapes your whole life, and sets out your future. People spend decades searching for the one they're supposed to be with. But what if you never find your soul mate? What if you fall for someone else - someone other than the name on your wrist? And what if - like Corin - you're desperate not to be found?
Before I die - 'Its really going to happen. They Saud it would, but this is juicer than anyone thought.' Everyone has to die. We all know it. With only a few months of life left, sixteen year old Tessa knows it better than most. She's made a list though - ten things she wants to do before she dies. Number one is sex. Starting tonight. But getting what you want isn't easy. And getting what you want doesn't always give you what you need. And sometimes the most unexpected things become important. Uplifting, life-affirming, joyous - this extraordinary novel celebrates what it is to be alive by confronting what its really like to die.
Which do I read?)
(The name on your wrist sounds intriguing)
L: Not much. Now, I don't see much point in trying to capture you so *Puts vixie down and quickly pushes sword through Eds heart* Inky, I have no quarrel with you so *Pushes her and vixie through portal back to bar and closes it*
(It does doesn't it? At the moment I think I might end up reading that...)
*Screams* Ed !
*collapses and holds Vixie close*
(So what has he actually done to her, so I can act it out)
(It is something I would go for myself...so whats occurin?)
(The name on your wrist)
(Okay. Going for The name on your wrist. Wbd. Reading.)
(He cloned her to create an army and tried a theorey of stealing magic. She now has the ability to gather magic)
(Kay Sil ^^)
(hmmm, okay. Ill have to thing on that one)
*strokes Vixie* What did he do to you?
*Vix yips*
*Lament takes Ed's body through portal to lab and extracts magic*
(hmm Ed? Is it alright if Vixie bit l when he held her?)
(sure)
L: Time travel, awesome
*Vixie sneezes*
*portal opens again*
*Inkys eyes widen* Did you...do that?
*Vixie Yips and shows slight trace of blood on fangs*
Okay, you stay here...sit
*Vix obeys*
*Inky goes through portal*
L: *Heads back to field to see Inky reappear* Ah, Hello
*voice is a low rumble* Give. him. back. asshat
(Heya Death ^^ whats occurin?)
L: Oh, but he's gone. I have his power now. Now, if you run along now then I can get back to my work.
*starts changing into a wolf* He..cant be...give him back!
*runs for him in wolf form*
(Hello Death)
L: *Sends blue lightning to floor in front of wolf*
*Dodges the lightening*
*bites his arm*
L: *Frowns and throws her into a tree* You dare attack me?
*yelps in pain*
*growls*
*keeps on attacking*
(Hello, Death.)
L: *Throws ball of energy towards her then smashes stick into her leg breaking it*
*yelps*
*changes into human*
*realizes clothes are in tatters*
damn
*changes back int wolf form*
*limps over to him and swipes at him*
(How are you Death?)
L: *Dodges swipe and smashes rock down onto other leg*
*howls*
*changes enough so fur covers body, but can speak*
Burn in hell...bastard.
L: *Laughs* I would stay but I have to test my new powers. *Opens portal and steps through*
(Meh. I'm tired. I turned my little brother into Fletcher Renn last night. And I'm trying to become Tanith because me and him are going to sneak down to Melbourne and catch Derek when he leaves.)
Come back!
*in reality, one arm and one leg is broken*
*throws herself through portal*
(That sounds awesome ^^. But you should rest if youre tired)
(Probably. But I have to officially wake up in a half hour. So there's no point...)
*Portal leads to the past when a young Ed and Lament are fighting* *Lament approaches younger version and lightning starts to form in hand*
(*shrugs* fair enough)
*screams* Don't you dare! *looks around* wait a minute...
L: *Turns* You don't give up easily do you?
*smiles* No I do not, I just want Ed back is all
L: Why won't you accept he is gone?
He went before...and came back. I will never accept that he is gone forever
L: He came back because I brought him back. He is gone.
*shakes* Liar...Liar! He will come back, he promised he wouldn't go...
I dedicate to dedications.
L: You think he gets to decide when he goes?
(I candy stop thinking over Ghanith... OMG... I'm crying...)
(*cant)
(awww Death)
Please...just bring him back, why are you so intent on getting him killed anyways?
L: He burnt his world, my world, my home. I will not see him brought back again.
*tear rolls down her cheek*
Then, why did you bring him back then? Couldn't you see he was ready to move from that chapter of his life? He was sorry
L: I needed him to advance my plan.
*shakes* Using people, to get what you want
*tries to stand* That's the lowest you could possible go!
*lunges for him*
*leaning against a wall, she had zipped through the portal when it had opened and had been silently watching since them*
Seem to me you're just as bad as him.
L: *steps out of way* Who said I play fair? *They both appear back in the bar*
*Silente also appears in bar*
(I'm not sure it is. Plus, she's being very unspecific. Some types are worse than others. We all use people to get what we want, to some extent. If I tell my sister to close my blinds when she's standing next to the blinds and I'm up a ladder, is that the lowest I can ever go?
Sorry. I'm a tad pedantic, in case you didn't realise. XD)
*collapses to the floor*
*the pain is unbearable*
*cant speak*
It's not a spoiler, Fabi, it was a dream. Tanith was normal and Ghastly wasn't dead. They went out for ice cream on a hotdog boat.
(*sighs* Inky is hurt and still mostly animal, se doesn't have time to go into specifics right now)
*walks to Flick, clapping her hands so that healing glow surrounds them*
*wraps both hands around the broken arm tightly*
L: Silente, I think Inky needs your help *Walks out of bar*
*hisses with pain*
Thank you Sil, now I need to go and get Ed.
*stands up, ignoring hurt leg*
@Death: That's cool. :) :)
*hugs*
That sounds like such a sad dream . . . once you wake up, I mean. :/
(@Inky: I know. :P It wasn't a criticism of you. :P)
*lets the glow fade*
Sure.
*zips after Lament, grabbing his collar and dragging him back, throwing him at Flicks feet*
L: What is the meaning of this?
I don't like you. That's the meaning.
(Okay Star ^^)
*looks down at Lament*
*eyes glowing amber*
*kneels down and grabs him by the neck*
Give. Him. Back
L: I'm sure you don't mean that *Trys to get up*
I mean that very much.
L: What if I decline?
*voice mmore animalistic* Give him back now!
L: *Smiles* No
*digs claws into him*
Do it
*bares fangs*
*looks at Lament*
*deadpan voice and face*
If you don't bring him back then I'll happily use you as a new toy.
L: If you kill me, I won't be able to. Now if I can have a drink I might consider it.
Sure.
*smiles*
What's your poison?
*looks him in disgust* You.....
L: Cider please
*stands up*
*grabs his arm, hoisting him up*
*drags him to the bar*
*goes to the bar and orders a cider*
*slips the bar man a fifty and a vial of liquid to put in the drink secretively*
*smiles*
Thanks!
*hands it to Lament*
(The liquid makes you more suggestable. More likely to do whatever youre told to do.)
L: Perhaps you could let me go to drink?
(Awesome ^^)
Okay *lets go*
L: thanks *has a sip*
*leans against the bar keeping an eye on him*
Do you want anything Flick?
No thank you.
*turns to L* Now, will you bring him back?
L: *Finishes drink*
*smiles*
L: *Smiles at Inky* I can't
(This is Inkys current state
I couldn't find a pic with clothes tho)
*arches an eyebrow* Why?
*vixie walks over and jumps onto Inkys lap*
L: Because he died
But you brought him back before...
L: Because I needed him then
But, you want to bring him back now
*walks closer to Lament smoothly, smiling with mischief in her eyes*
Come on Lament...can you just do this one little favour?
L: But I can't now, his soul has gone.
*slams hand on the bar*
I wont accept that Bull! Bring him back now!
L: I'm sorry but I just can't bring him back
*ears lower* You have to...Its Ed...he cant...wouldn't die
L: sorry
*shoots Flick a warning look before focusing back on Lament*
But you can use his power now right...
*walks behind Lament, out of his line of sight*
So why not take his body back to when he died, then reconnect them? Surely it'd be no problem for someone as powerful as you..
(It's so odd when the normal RP people aren't on... Like Em and Zaf...)
L: While it is true that flattery gets you nowhere, you have a point. But I won't *Runs to bar door and into the woods then rests against tree*
*runs after him, easily reaching the tree before him and leaning against it*
Wanna reconsider?
L: Why should I?
*runs after him on all fours* wait!you have to... I'd do anything!
(Zaf should be pn soon deathy.)
Cause we asked nicely?
L: No, I refuse to bring him back
What can I do to persuade you?
Oh come on. You really wanna break a girl's heart? Take away the one thing she had left?
L: Nothing Inky, he is gone. and Silente, I said I can't bring him back.
But you said that you could... But wouldn't
*shakes* please...
Actually you said that you could, but that you wouldn't. There is a difference.
L: Your absolutely right. I said I wouldn't.
*anger takes over*
*growls*
You will be very sorry if you don't bring him back this instant!
L: *Grins* If I don't?
*hisses* why are you grinning?! *lunges for him*
L: *Turns to shadow and reappears by tree*
*falls to knees* what do you want? Me to beg?
Fine
I beg you to being him back
*bring
L: No, forget about him. *Disappears*
I I ... Can't *howls*
(Seems I'm back.)
(wb Sophia)
(Welcome back Soph)
(WB Sophia!)
*vixie comes over *
*licks inkys paw*
*breaks down *
(Thank you Edward, Chloe and Rose.)
(Dim problem Soph)
Sis: Can you stop complaining?!
Me: I like complaining. Complaining makes me realise how much is wrong with my life. That's why I complain about you and the rest of my family a lot.
*Sis stalks off*
('Cause we all end up in a tiny pine box
A mighty small prop
In a mighty dark plot.')
Midgardians.
(Sil *grins*)
(Hello zaf)
(Hello, Loki.)
*looks at vix* you be a good girl
Okay?
*runs off to a cliff and looks down at the sea*
(Hey Zaf. That was a tad longer than an hour :P)
(@Flick *grins back*)
Loki!!
*She ran up and hugged him tightly*
I love you.
*smirks, walking with Zanida into Blogland, the siblings walk with ease, usually Zanida is trying to kill him*
(Am I the only one who ships shilo and grave robber?)
(@Flick I half ship 'em. Just from the clips I've seen.)
(I don't ship anyone. I do not like relationships.)
Hi! *hugs Rose tightly*
(Hello, Elleni.)
gtg, bye
(I love it how her says 'your beautiful' in needle through a bug)
(*feels a flutter in her head from a character at Sophias words* mhmm.)
*She grinned up at him before nuzzling his chest*
I missed you... A lot... And now you're here so I'm happy!
(Byii Ed
We will
Continue tomoz
I shall go to bed now, be back tomoz)
(Hey El!
@Zaf we still waiting for Friday yeah?)
(@El Orpheus had just walked in with a parcel.)
I come with glad tiddings.
((Yeah...-Zaf
Orpheus: its a surpr-
*she opens it*
Or not...
*inside is basically a large array of products designed to aid relaxation, incliding chocolate*
(@Zaf Kk :)
Orpheus: *mumbles quietly* you seemed stressed...
*She pulled away from him and took his hand, starting to walk on his other side. She leaned her head forward so she could wave at Zanida*
Hey! Oh, Loki! Guess what happened to me last night! I went to another planet! With Caelan! Thirteen billion light years away! And it was awesome!
With that boy? Why were you going to a planet? Not that I care....but....
Orpheus: *hugs her back*
You're welcome...I thought it might help you think or something...
Are you a little jealous, love?
*She laughed and kissed his arm*
He's nice. People on earth descend from constellations. Like, horoscope kinda things. He came from a nebula! I wanted to see it! So he was going to show me, but some stuff happened but all is good now!
Orpheus: unfortunately no. You?
*sighs* Just be careful...
I am, Loki. You don't have to worry about me. If anything, you should worry about Keating.
*She stopped and stared up at Loki, eyes wide and horrified*
She froze me... Then she stabbed me with a needle... And now I have a tracer in my arm so she knows where I am... Because that whole Vect guy...
*Her gaze dropped to the ground and her voice lowered*
He tried to get me again...
Orpheus: trouble? Many people have emotion problems when faced with such a task Elleni, its completely normal.
(No idea. Why?)
When I get Keating or Vect....we should just go to Asgard.
I know, love... I'm scared...
(Going to school. Back in 20/15)
(Well.
He's ginger.
He's 19.
He's male.
He's about average height.
He's slim and has muscles but not too much.
The rest is up to you.)
Orpheus: Oh.
Orpheus: I did. And for a reason I might add.
(Uh...yes. *nods as if that is what El meant despite knowing that's not what El meant*)
(hey Em)
(I have no idea what he wears...)
Orpheus: she was always destined for darkness.
Orpheus: and now she is becoming darker is she not? I hate to say I told you so but....
(I will email you a secret El!)
(sent!)
Orpheus: I think you are running out of options..
(Well...admittedly that was not the expected reaction.)
Orpheus: how could I be of assistance?
(I'm back!!)
(Uh... Sure...? Why...?)
(NO IT IS NOT DON'T YOU DARE!)
Orpheus: you've seen some of what I can do.
(*Stabs Sil*)
(Betrayal is to act against! This is not betrayal!)
Orpheus: I don't know her abilities as well as you do.
(*Gives El a sharpened unicorn horn*)
(*clutches the knife as it slides between her ribs, eyes widening slightly, mouth forming a little 'O' shape and lips quivering slightly*
*falls forwards, one arm reached out to catch hee but it buckles and she falls forwards, the knife being buried deeper into her*
*blinks and struggles against deaths cold grip*
*dying*
*dying*
*dying*
*dead*)
(Damn... I missed Emmy...)
Then let us go to Asgard.
(That, Sil, was the best death I've read in a long, long time.)
