Im first?
Something special? Maybe some spilling of random character secrets. I always love when you talk about obscure facts and tidbits about their past. Or even their future after the books..
Hi Charlie :)
Hmmm why cant Derek come to Wales?
brb
You United Kingdomonians are lucky,I'd abandon my family crest to get a chance at one of these book tours.
Australia represent.

Hello everyone
Random Newspaper Boy: Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The Sorry Assassin rises again! That's right people The Sorry Assassin is back in business and tearing up the streets once again! Read all about it in the latest addition of Mage Mag!
Hey Silente and Blake
Random Newspaper Boy: We've got the latest on all your Mage gossip! Secret sanctuary business! All in one magazine! Buy now, don't delay!
(Hey. How are you Flick?)
(Im great thnx, Im watching PewDiePie playing this game called madfather)
(Sounds entertaining. :) )
(how are you?)
(It is)
(Fine. Slightly tired and FINALLY home. So overall fine.)
And for the record, Silente, I do in fact not like Vivanus. I couldn't possibly respect someone who tries to kill a person they claim to love.
( :) *hugs her Alastair gently* *kisses him* *Fades*)
(Okay then Alastair. I get that. Actually i almost agree....well....hmm....in certain cases I might not....)
HELLO!
Google's advertising me bespoke balconies. <3
GHASTLY HAS BALCONIES. O_O
I might be Hunter for a bit . . . because I haevn't been him in quite a while and if I don't do it in the holidays when AM I going to get chance to do it?
Hey Star :)
Hey Inky. :)
People used to call me Ink . . . you being called Inky is a bit freaky. :P
Lovely word, Inky. :) :)
It is, isn't it? :)
Yes! :) Flame is a nice word too. :/
I think I like your name. :P
I HAVE BLOOD POISONING ON MY ARMMMMMMM
Aww thnx, Star :) Your name is awesome too
What ????
@Inky: I think it is. That's why I picked it. :P
I have blood posoining on my arm . . .
It's not very extreme. It's quite pretty really. Looks like tiny freckles. :)
I do not see how anyone can possibly like Vivanus, if they are indeed married or in love. I have no respect towards anyone who is like that man.
I'm still half convinced they ARE freckles, tbh, but . . .
Hey Loki. :)
(Sorry. Poofed for food. Hey Star. Hey Loki.
Ugh Sil is bored. Might have to rp to shut her up..)
Hey Silente! :)
(Don't be too hard on Viv. By which I mean don't be mean to him.)
(How are you Star)
Good, I think, Silente. :) You?
~America, New York, a back street underground bar~
*yawns, tired after her most recent job and orders a vodka from the bar*
*adds some blood to the glass and leans back on her stool*
(Tired. FINALLY HOME! Can't wait for a proper bed tonight..)
@Silente: YAY! :) *hugs*
(YAYAYAYAY I FOUND PEWDIEPIE PLAYING CORPSE PARTY!!!!)
(Actually i might just try take a nap now... Or not. Idk. If I disappear then that's what's happened.)
*takes a sip of her vodka, watching the drunk idiots*
*waiting for her next employer to come along*
Did you not say love was for fools, Loki? I have yet to see you respect it.
*sighs and pulls out a watch*
Hmm..
*puts the watch away and waits*
Infact, ive got to let my bro on the computer
(Kk Flick.)
(Bye Flick!)
Fours, Inky! :(
The return of the cute profile picture. :)
*is reminded of Return of the Headband Dan on Total Wipeout*
(Yeah. Blake likes it. I lost it for a while and didn't notice. He pointed out that fact. When i got it back he hugged it. So, you know, cute.)
(Hello.)
@Silente: :)
Yeah. You didn't have it for, like, en entire week, and then he pointed it out and you hadn't NOTICED . . . ? :P
It might have been less than a week. But it was definitly a few days. :) :)
Hey Dragona. :)
(I was zoomed in so I couldn't actually SEE the lack of a picture.)
Newspaper Boy: *walks over to Sophia*
Mage mag mam? We've got all the latest news, including the return of The Sorry Assassin. Not something a pretty gal like you would want to miss!
@Silente: Ah, okay. :)
(Headband Dan :P
Hey Star!)
Im back, Ive decided to transfer to my laptop
Yup. :)
(There was a guy called Dan with a headband so they named him Headband Dan, and then a few seasons later or something there was ANOTHER guy called Dan and HE WAS ALSO WEARING A HEADBAND so they named him Return of the Headband Dan. XD)
(There was also a guy on there called the Tower of Chris.
I was laughing so much.
I need to tell C but I'm not going to see her for ages . . . :(
Because C's the Leaning Tower of Gandalf, you know. XD)
Wb, Inky! :)
(wb Flick)
(Also hey Draggie how are you?)
*sighs irritably*
*another no show*
*she hates when that happens*
*downs the rest of her drink and leaves a ten dollar bill in the glass*
*watches the drunk people and smiles*
No. I don't want a newspaper. As far as I'm aware, the Sorry Assassin can do what the hell they want as long as they don't get in my way, or start causing trouble.
(I've actually seen Headband Dan. And the Return of Headband Dan. :P)
(I'm thanks, Silente, you?)
Newspaper Boy: Fine then mam.
*mutters about how he'll never get to the mage summer school at this point*
Oh one more thing. Are you called Elleni or Vivant?
(Fine. HOME! And fine.)
I heard my name.
(Msd)
No. My name is Commander Sophia Keating. Why are you interested in Elleni and (presumably) Vivanus?
Hey El
Hello Inky :)
Hows be you ?
Duggdialect :L
I be fine
you?
(Hey El)
Np B: I was told to give then some postcard or something. *shrugs*
--------------------------------------
*gets up and walks out, emerging between two buildings and blending in with the crowd*
...
Thanks?
*opens it*
Np B: Oh are you Elleni? Or Vivanus? That's for you. Want a copy of Mage Mag? It includes the return of The Sorry Assassin. I can't belive they showed their face again. Though that person was dead. Then out of the blue.. *rambles on*
*The Postcard says
El, Viv
Don't follow me.
I just wrote this to say bye. I doubt I'll be back. And if I am then something went even more wrong.
Viv, I love you.
You're awesome El.
Say hey to everyone for me.
ST. TSA.
Im watching corpse party :)
(I have no idea what that is...)
No thanks...
*wanders off*
Np B: Seriously? No one! Stupid idea. Sell newspapers dad said. Earn the money to go to summer school dad said. We wont pay your eat in life dad said. *grumbles*
------------------------------------
*turns left and breaks away from the crowd*
*walks up to a rather abandoned looking part of town*
*full of homeless people*
...
Dont follow me. Thats the first thing she says!
*curses*
...
Silente, you oughta know by now that we never obey orders...
((Hey.))
(Hi Fabi)
(Yo Fabo! How art thou?)
*smiles and pulls some bread from her pocket, giving it out evenly between the people*
*looks over her shoulder and frowns, hurrying ahead*
*lifts her hood again*
*kicks down the door*
I
AM
HOME!
I
AM
HOME!
I HAVE BEEN TO THE BE THE GLUE PAGE!
I HAVE SEEN THE CLARENTE SONG!
I LOVED IT!
AND I AM HOME!
I HAVE MISSED BLOGLAND, AND I AM HOME!
CAMP WAS A MISERY, AND I AM HOME!
I LOVE YOU ALL! I MISS YOU! I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH!
AND I!
AM!
HOME!
(James?)
(Hey Fabi)
(ANNIKA :D ok you remember you character, Mr. Armitage?)
(Clara....don't EVER say you love us all again. Say 'I love you all, excluding Silente' *nods* that would be better.)
I am behind on all of my things, and it's torture!
*claps a hand to face*
THEY CONFISCATED MY BOOKS.
Literally, the counselors took all of my books because they thought books would make us antisocial.
THEY TOOK THEM.
AND THEY DID NOT GIVE THEM BACK TILL YESTERDAY AT LUNCHTIME.
I WAS SO ANGRY.
I was so angry that I wrote pamphlets.
YES. ENEMY PROPAGANDA.
I put one into everyone's bed.
They said READ BOOKS, FOR KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND THE LITERACY IS THE KEY TO GREATNESS.
(Oh dub forgot about James)
James: *looks at Elleni* got a card? Secret lover? Long lost brother? Forgotten mother?
FIRST!
I agree with that, Silente.
SECOND!
Yes, Gary Armitage is still a character that I use, and intend to use a lot more in future. Why?
((Hello Silente. I am well. How art thou?))
((Hi Elleni!))
((Welcome back, Annika!))
((Hey Inky!))
(Could you describe Mr. Armitage for me? :D physical looks. I want to draw him. :) )
Silente.
(Thou art good)
(@Clara it is good we agree for once. Let's never agree again. How are you?)
James: Oh? She thought to write? Anything interesting?
James: and what was that idiotic boy shouting about?
You don't need to know.
...
(POSTCARDS??? Do they have the FROM address on it??)
Fair enough. *cough*
Garrote J. Armitage is an albino, and this includes pink eyes. He is violently OCD, but rather than being obsessed with cleanliness, he is obsessed with symmetry. As such, he is always perfectly symmetrical. He has the ability to manipulate and/or create ice, much like Elsa. He is six foot four, and becomes nervous and uncomfortable when around women, to the point of being unable to speak to them.
(Okay. I said physical looks as in face, hair, clothes, and all that but thank you :) )
(Not this one. The boy was given it and paid to deliver it. No to or from adress.)
Hmmm ocd with symmetry...that's like death the kid :) AwesomeXD
(Dammit)
...
*sighs*
I need Dragona or Blake here...
James: Hello. The child. What was he saying. He gave me a headache.
(?.. what child)
(Np B. It stands for Newspaper Boy.)
(I am here.)
I don't know. Shut up, James. You give me a headache.
Sophia! You think you can find Silente?
Use thy imagination, Elleni.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.
I want to share my awesome Skulduggery Pleasant-related story from camp.
I also want to share the fact that we had a nursery-rhyme writing contest, and the winning rhyme was going to be recited to the kids at the little girl's camp next door. All the ones I submitted were Blogland-related, and the one I wrote about Trip won.
But that's not even the Skulduggery Pleasant story.
(Well, yes, but it's your character. You must have some kind of image in mind)
James: *rolls his eyes* I only wanted to know if I had hears correctly. After all you lot know The Sorry Assassin. And I thought I'd heard her mentioned.
-------------------------------------------------
*moves into one of the broken dowb buildings and slouches into a corner*
...
We know The Sorry Assassin? What do you mean?
I can find Silente. I've already set the scanners of my ship working.
James: *looks at Elleni* I mean what I said imbecile.
...
Oh my you really didnt know?
*laughs*
Youre stupider than I thought.
So, we got our books back at lunchtime yesterday, and I immediately began reading The Faceless Ones, because I'm re-reading the series in preparation for the last book.
Well, some friends and I were goofing off in the basement (there was a ping-pong table down there,) and I decided to, as a joke, read aloud the first chapter of the book. I used my narrator voice, and gave each character really stupid voices (Skulduggery sounded like Mickey Mouse, and Valkyrie had a really deep, butch voice like Mr. T.)
THEY LOVED IT.
Soon after, other people heard their laughter and came downstairs to listen, and I eventually had nine different voices that I was doing and eight different people listening to me read and getting really into the story. I read the first eight chapters.
BUT THEN WE HAD A COOKOUT.
It was a ten at night, and it was so dark that no one could see anyone else. So I started talking in my high-pitched Skulduggery Pleasant voice so people would know who I was. Then people started coming up to me and doing the other voices, which resulted in us all role-playing by the lake, making up ridiculous stories like a passionate love triangle between China, Skulduggery, and Savian Eck, and China actually being Val's mom, and we kept throwing rocks into the lake to kill the sea hag and asking people if they had murdered the teleporters.
It was a good time.
*kicks James' face*
*runs to the boy*
Uh, I'll take one. How much?
(Omg that sounds awesome xD)
Im going now to enjoy the outside
hwyl
Garrote Armitage has very short white hair, very white skin, pink eyes, and is pretty muscular without being bulky. He's a hit man, so he's usually packing a gun. He wears dark suits a lot, but that's just because of his job. He would wear jeans and a sweater if he were relaxing. He has a star-shaped scar on one thigh, where he got shot with a magic arrow, and he has an identical scar on the other thigh where he stabbed himself with a magic arrow so the scars would be symmetrical.
James: *curses unable to defend himself*
No B: *looks at Elleni* Hey again. Just 5 cent. Or 5 pense. Or whatever currancy it is you use. *smiles at her*
(Thanks Annika! Now I need Sir's...)
*smiles back and hands him a dime*
Keep the change.
*takes a magazine*
Np b: *pockets the dime* *nods* have a nice day ma'am. Front page and pages 3 and 4 have The Sorry Assassin in. Plus pages 5 and 6 include ongoing plans to stop the Assassin. *smiles*
Thanks! You too!
*runs back to James and flips to page 3*
(I still have no idea what the sorry assassin is. Should i? Whats it say?)
I will lock James up in my ship's cargo bay when the scans have been completed.
Cool. Thanks again, Sophia.
(Okay it has a brief story of The Sorry Assassins rise in the assassin world. A picture and small article explaining about how every ssassination made the assassin would leave a note saying sorry for your loss in whatever language the victum spoke. Then it has a page of last night. How the assassin was seen and overnight has already killed 15 people. Only the note has changed. Now it varies between the old one and one saying sorry it couldn't be you this time.
Info on the sorry assassin you guys know.
She wears a cloak.
She's female.
She's small.
Fast
And seeminglu cold and uncaring.)
James knows more.)
(The Sorry Assassin is Silente . . . XD)
James: Oh charming. Why exactly am I being arrested again? And without a lawyer.
*shrieks* STAR!
*hugs* I missed you most of all!
(Silente?!!)
*reads*
*frowns*
what kind of assassin apologizes??
You dont need a lawyer, James
HEY CLARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
*hugs*
Nice to see you back again!!! :)
That Skuldggery Pleasant story sounds AWESOME. :) :) :)
(That too.)
James: *laughs at Ellenis reaction* a polite one. Or perhaps one who is sorry. Where did you think she got the name, The Sorry Assassin.
...
How is this related to me?
I know! It was the highlight of an otherwise unpleasant and unproductive week.
James: Everyone deserves a lawyer. Its the law.
James, do you really think you would get a lawyer with me?
James: As I said before. You know her. Or knew her. Not sure which term you would use. I almost pity her. Old habits die hard I suppose.
...
There are a lot of assassins I knew, James.
James: @sophia I think I deserve a chance to defend myself against the vile acusations that have been pinned on me.
(Unfortunately, most lawyers are unfair, and lawyers don't all have the same skill.
Everyone deserves a lawyer?
Most people can get one.
Everyone deserves a good lawyer?
Yeah . . . that's not even seen as a necessity. -_-
@Clara: :(
At least it helped you appreciate your pleasant/productive weeks, though. :)
James: And clearly a lot you know but don't realise they're assassins. Connect the dots Elleni.
I dont think we've had official courtcases in Blogland.
I'm sorry, but my terrible habit of disappearing isn't going to be thwarted today . . . :P
@Elleni: Neither do I . . . O_O
Woah.
I guess most people don't have much respect for them. :P
*frowns*
...
Silente?
*most people here
Sorry, should have made that clear. :P
XD
Guys we still need to revive Hunter
James: *would clap but his hands are shackled* and on goes the idiots dusty old lightbulb.
YES YOU DO O_O
((Speaking of lawyers, I should bring back Hewitt... Probably at a less eventful moment, though....))
I almost forgot about that . . . :P
*is a terrible author XD*
((Hunter. D:))
((I never got to meet him. :-( ))
Hey Lantern. :)
(..can we say we've done it already? We have no one capable of reviving people on at the moment and otherwise we'll forget...)
Unfortunately, James, you have no need for a lawyer. You've already been found guilty. As I said yesterday, if you don't be quiet I'm going to break your bloody jaw.
@Lantern: :( :(
I'm actually slightly worried about the lack of meeting abilities the pair of you seem to possess . . .
*kicks James' face again*
Silente is the Sorry Assassin? Since when?? Why... How... What...??
@Silente: Hunter's fine with that, so long as he's alive. He's slightly annoyed that he never got to live through being revived, but I'm sure I can think that out . . .
James: Guilty in which court. I want proof. And why was I npt there for the hearing?
James: *curses loudly*
Assault! Stop bloody kicking me!
I've already showed you my Spectre badge, James. That means I can throw you in jail and nobody can complain. It means I can do what the hell I want as long as I get the job done.
(I mean, I can't confidentally write out you people, but . . .
*floats over to Word to have a bash at this revival scene*)
*ignores James*
Jail or prison? You stay in jail before court and you go to prison after court.
(Have fun Star :D)
James: Sophia your 'prisoner' is being assaulted and you are doing nothing about it. I demand to be released!
*looks at Elleni*
Oh and you. Silente has been an assassin since she could use a weapon I'd say around 18 or so she started. She has been an assassin her whole life. As I said, old habits die hard. Clearly she has decided to start working again.
I am perfectly capable of reviving people, for the record. I would bring Hunter back, if I knew he was dead to begin with.
Thats why she left??
@Elleni: Thanks. :) :)
*hits James in the jaw, not hard enough to break it - yet*
Be quiet, asshole. If I wanted your opinion on being arrested, I'd ask for it.
James: No that presumably isn't why she left. That girl has as many secrets and normal people have had pens. And pencils. She presumably left for reasons beyond YOUR limited understanding.
James: Two faced beech. You'll pay for this!
So you know why she left.
(Gtg hiking! Brb in a few hours! :) )
Do you want your jaw broken? I told you to be quiet.
(Bye El!)
James: I have no idea in the slightest simpleton. She left. That's all I know.
James: You really are a nasty piece of work. And Silente tried to defend you.
Do I look like I give a shit what you think? You're scum.
James: and you are a pompous brat who thinks a little badge allows her to do whatever the hell she wants.
*folds arms* Say one more word, I dare you. I've arrested you - but quite frankly, there is no official paperwork. You know what that means?
*raises pistol at him*
No one will miss you if you happened to have a little accident involving a firearm.
Wow. I never comment in the first 200 anymore.
James: *stares at the pistol*
...
You'd be arrested for murder.
I sincerely doubt it. Killing a criminal happens every now and then in my line of work. No one cares. No one would even bat an eyelid when they find your body laying on the ground.
Mr. Landy, I just wanted to let you know I left a couple comments for you in the To Clarify post in the 2400-2600 section.
I realize I don't know everything you have to deal with, but I still think you have a lot more control over things than people give you credit for...
Well, pretty soon I'm going to have to start re-reading all 8 books, plus the the Maleficent Seven and Armageddon Outta Here. Book nine is on its way, hm?
James: *smirks* They have a criminal arresting criminals. How quaint.
*hits James in the jaw, breaking it*
You assume I break the law - I don't. I am effectively above laws for civilians. Killing someone like you - wouldn't even look bad on a résumé. Not for someone with my job description.
James: *growls, his jaw hanging loose, and glares at Sophia*
Not so easy to talk now, is it?
James: aw a ech! Urg e gell!
*spits at her*
(Woah. O_O)
(See, tons of people will be doing what Sophia is all over the world.
And like -
:/
Yeah.
Not good. :/)
