The following has been sent out to all Theatre of Shadows registrants...
My friends,
Many of you have spotted the facebook incursion on Sunday from escaped fugitive Silas Nadir. He’s taunting us. We need your help now more than ever.
The first clue to Nadir's location arrived late last night and we set our three top code-breakers to solve the puzzle.
This morning, they were each found dead in their homes. On the wall beside each body was scrawled "Silas 3, Sanctuary 0."
And so we must call upon you.
Time is of the essence. Before they were killed, our code-breakers worked out that the clues seem to point to an unusual sequence of numbers. They managed to fill in not one space before Nadir found them: ? ? . ? ?, leaving us four spaces to fill for now.
Remember Nadir's promised us three clues: so to throw him and his accomplices off the scent, the next clue will be sent out to all those registered to Theatre of Shadows. If you haven't already – be sure to sign up for free as a matter of urgency. Operatives in the US, Norway and Sweden we know that registration is an impossibility for you right now: rest assured we will need you for the third clue. You are crucial too.
Here’s the first clue:
1. Take the number of letters in my magical discipline (here's a hint, idiots — it's a two-worded ability), then multiply that by the age of the Jitter Girls. Add to this the number of rooms in the Midnight Hotel and then subtract the age of a sorcerer named Petrichor. With me so far? Keeping up? Now put in a decimal point (do you know what that is?), then the amount of damns I give about any one of you, and follow this with the maximum number of Dead Men there is at any one time. Now subtract the number of babies stolen by the goblin brothers. Whatever their names are. Ugly little critters, the lot of them. Not as ugly as the babies, though.
And that's all he's given us to fill in ? ? . ? ?. The Sanctuary’s resources are stretched so terribly thin… please help us find Nadir before he can kill again.
And be wary. He found our first code-breakers. He could find any of you, too.
Yours in magic,
Grand Mage Erskine Ravel

«Oldest ‹Older 2401 – 2600 of 4391 Newer› Newest»Ah, that was a bit late . . .
Lots of people haven't had their masks uploaded - I think they just put the recent ones up. :)
Its a good song Star, Im going through songs of my childhood, when life was simpler
(Vivanus can control metal... Am I the only one who thinks him getting essentially killed by a gun and a knife is somewhat odd?)
brb, changing to my laptop
(Wow Dragona, thanks for the spoiler....😉)
(I'm kidding Dragona...)
im back
(It's very odd but he can still die from blood loss,,,)
Mine didn't make it. Not that I had any faith in it. Probably because I sent it in the day before, or because I sucked.-Zaf
*sighs*
Staring out the window does not mKe me feel better. I'll stay here. Unless I get carsick.
(*sigh*
I dedicate this page to um...
I JUST GOT A HIGH-FIVE FROM MY DOG.
Anyway.
Hm...
Ok.
I dedicate this page to bananas.
Logic being:
Human DNA is 50% identical to that of a banana.
So we are all half-banana, essentially.
And without that half banana, god knows what we'd be.)
When I have more dots I'll switch my picture to what it was.-Zaf
(WHOAH!!!!! IT'S INKY!!!! YOU'RE BACK!!!! You don't know how much I missed you!!)
Ok. That's weird.
nawww but I don't like bananas! I hate 50% of myself
(@Dragona: I'd like to think that bananas are half human instead of the other way around.)
(BUT BANANAS ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF POTASSIUM.)
(woah, slow down sarcastic)
Never mind. Got to go. Bye guys.
(Bye Dugglyn!
*throws bananas at everyone*)
(*totally WASN'T being sarcastic*)
byii Dugg
*laughs* sure
hmm, ive heard it all now
I apparently have an ATTITUDE PROBLEM
just cos I want a day off tomorrow and the fact that hardly any place would take me so I hadn't had any experience in previous weeks
You MIGHT have an attitude problem. Get it? As in the attitude of an airplane. Ok, I guess that was a bit of a stretch.
Ok Inky! I have made it my personal duty to use mt last 20% of battery to make you feel better!!🐘
🐺🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🐸🐯🐨🐻🐷🐽🐮🐗🐵🐒🐴🐑🐘🐼🐧
Thnx Viv, but you don't have to
Ill be fine, I always do when it comes to stuff like this
those are cute animals
You know how we're half banana?
That makes us half cannibal. C:
*hugs Inky* :/ I hope it works out for you . . .
except I don't like bananas Star
🎊🎉👍👏👑🐬🐳🐙🐉🎶🚀
*hugs Star*
Thnx, its just the more my parents lecture me, the more I don't want to be a vet. But that's what my dad wants, so im going to never give in
👨fear the mustache!!!!
No Inky!!! I have taken an oath!!! My battery is thine!!!
Do you play an instrument?
Aww thnx Viv
I can play a bit of flute, guitar and recorder
Here's a band joke: How high can a trumpet player go?
how high?
Answer: It depends on how strong you are and the angle you throw him!
hehe that's a bad joke, but I guess theyre all bad
that made me smile
As a trumpet player, I can attest to its accuracy!
A burglar got into a house one holiday night. Shining his flashlight on the floor in the dark, he heard a voice say, "Jesus is watching you." He looked around nervously, shook his head, and kept looking for valuables. He heard again, "Jesus is watching you." This time he shined his light all over, and it rested on a parrot. He asked, "Did you say that?" The parrot admitted that he had. "I'm just trying to warn you, is all." The burglar sad, "Warn me, huh? A parrot? Who are you? What's your name?" "Moses." "Well, what kind of stupid people would name a parrot Moses?" The bird answered, "I don't know; I guess the same folks who would name a Rottweiler "Jesus'"........
Is Silas a trumpet player?
hahaha
*chuckles irl*
Im cheered up so stop with the bad jokes
Nope, I shall mercilessly pound you with them!
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the cause was, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don''''t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."

*throws sparkles in Viv's face*
*steals his wallet*
*runs away*
(Gtg bye)
WHY THE HECK AM I LOGGED IN AS SILAS
*always keeps a mousetrap in his pocket next to his wallet*
Well that was weird.
okay...where do you get these?
seriously, stop NOW
OWWWW

(*ships Nadazz*)
In answer to all your dog troubles...
To the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland":
Dog tags ring, are you listening'?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
It's yellow, not white -- I've been there tonight,
Marking up my winter wonderland.
Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.
It's a sign for wandering vagrants;
"Avoid where I pee, it's my property.
Marked up as my winter wonderland."
In the meadow dad will build a snowman,
following the classical design.
Then I'll lift my leg and let it go, man,
So all the world will know it's mine-mine-mine!
Straight from me to the fence post,
flows my natural incense boast,
"Stay off of my turf, this small piece of earth,
I mark it as my winter wonderland."
*or Ellenas*
OMG Viv! *tries not to laugh out loud*
you can stop now
*not to ever be confused with Ellenus which is a totally different story*
One last one?
*sigh* if you must
also, I have just remembered...I had a dream that we were all in school together o.O
Or one last ton?
Man delivers load of bubblewrap. Where do you want this he asks. Just pop it in the corner was the reply.
I moustache you a question, but I'll shave it for later.
"When I die, I want my tombstone to be a WiFi hotspot......that way people visit more often."
What happens when you get scared half to death twice?
A police recruit was asked during the exam,
"What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?" He said, "Call for backup."
Ooh, was I in your dream?
oh Viv, never be a stand up comedian
Was I six foot five with bulging biceps and a rippling eight pack?
What are you talking about? I'm sitting down!
yep, it was like an anime ova or something, when they put the charatrs in school
*rolls eyes*
thanks for cheering me up
Your welcome but I ain't finished yet miss.
Why there's a real treat coming up next!
oh no...
Are you ready?
nope...but continue
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, BOYS AND GIRLS, WATCH AS THIS MAN GOES WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE, wel gone and survived that is....HE's daring, HE'S BOLD, HE'S VIVANUS KEEN AND HE'S GOING TO...*mic goes out*
Hi El
(I'm not dead, surprise surprise!)
Wait, where you mad about Ellenas, Ellenus, or Ellanus?
*shouts instead*
HE'S GOING TO...
*coughs*
Lozenge sir?
Why thank you Hugger!
It's Higgins sir, Jeremy Higgins.
My bad Hickles.
*mutters* Higgins!
ANYWAY, THIS MAN IS GOING TO....what is he going to do again?
*notices that El hasn't responded*
*winks just to make her more mad*
Ellenus is the same as Ellanus just with more Elleni...it is different from Ellenas because there is a different male involved...
*wonders if this explanation is clear enough*
I see.
Hey Fabi
Yay! Fabi, if I may ask, which is your favorite?
The funny thing is that none of them are active.
hehe, im lucky El. im not in any ships
Hey. :-)
I've actually been pretty successful at avoiding ships. Serious ones, anyway. There was a moment when Snow was shipping me with a pear. No, I don't know either.
Which, what? Are you asking who I ship Elleni with?
Yes
where is the joke, Viv?
(I'm not in any ships and I'm pleased with that. :P)
*is glad right now that Sil doesn't ghost*
I forgot the joke so instead you shall get something even better...me being quiet.
well you cheered me up anyhow :)
too bad, I thought the joe would be good
Wait, I have one!!!!!
um Viv...you don't have to...
I think I'll diplomatically dodge that question and go update Guess the Bloglandian. Or maybe not, I already posted three this morning, and they've not all been guessed yet. Besides, I have three or four drafts waiting, so I'll I'd really be doing would be clicking the "publish" button, which really isn't enough to even warrant a 'brb.'
Anyway, enough of that. How are you all?
A reporter was interviewing a 103 year-old woman: "And what do you think is the best thing about being 103?" the reporter asked. She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
that's sooo bad
I'm just waiting for me to appear on guess the bloglandian, then I'll comment on all the others...
:-)
Goodbye, Inky I hope you feel happy!!!!!!!
Goodbye everyone else!!!
Thanks sooo much Viv
byii
omg my mum is watching this drama thing about pregnant women...im scarred
Fuk... Missed Loki...
yo Death
OH NO THE WOMAN HAS GONE FOR A C SECTION AND HER HUSBAND IS ABOUT TO JUMP OFF THE ROOF!!!!
Hey Chloe!
*Hugs El back*
how you tonight?
Tired as all Hell. Woke up at 4:41am. Then slept. Then woke up ten minutes later. Repeat. Stopped at 6:30. Gave up on life.
oh, he rushes to the hospital because there is a complication with the birth of one of the twins...oh wait the babys pulled through
You did not miss me.
I'm tired or I've run out of tears for today.
Hello everyone.
I remember when I went camping, I had forgot my air matress so I 'sslept on the floor. I didn't sleep at all
heya Em
(LOKI!
*Cuddles*
Hai!)
(Em.... Are you okay...?)
(im kinda at a point with my rp that I have to wait for Sil to appear)
(Okay, Chloe!)
Sigh. If you're going off as a name I shall be back later.
(Screw it. Forget that the new name came out. I'll do it when he's asleep....)
Not really Rose sweets, I've had to contain myself around a lot of hypocrites today so I've just had a good cry and a half. Not sure if it helped in the long term, but for the moment, it seems like it has.
Thank you for asking.
(Don't forget this, Em:
You're beautiful.
You're fucking perfect, man.
You're my big sister and I won't let anyone ever her you.
And, most importantly, I love you.
<3
I have no paitence for names, you know that. I lost any paitence when Alastair took my sister's name.
(Loki and I have different time zones. Very different. I head off to school soon. Then I won't get to see him. I have until 9pm at the earliest when he comes on... We will continue this later...)
Well, we're a package deal, Loki... You get me, you get the names.
(The RP...)
Earliest though tomorrow I shall probably be later, and will not sleep knowing you'll be another name.
ELLAKE IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE, A SHIP.
Blake, and his author, are mine <3 all mine for eternity <3
Want to do more of the one we were doing Rose, while you can??
And thank you x
hi Chi
I know, I just find it hard to deal with names. Alastair is a prime example, I wish to murder him for hurting my sister, yet I admire him for doing it.
Well, you better sleep, seeing as you seem to be very grumpy when you don't... I don't want grumpy Loki... I want happy Loki...
IT WAS YOU THAT INCLUDED IT AS A SHIP ELLENI! PRETEND IT DOESN'T EXIST AND IT WILL GO AWAY!
(Sure, Em!!)
@Loki: ...
well im going to bed now, be back tomorrow...probably
Sorry I puffed, I was watching Jumangi because Williams died.
(No, Loki ain't... He could be, but he ain't...)
(Because I still want to talk to Loki. But he'll leave if I got to the new name...
Bye Chloe.)

Please, Elleni. This hurts. D:
Someone will end up dead if I involved myself.
How can I sleep knowing you could be lost to me?
(Well, you know . . . you're justified in doing what you want to do. You shouldn't let him manipulate you like that . . .)
Because that's how I sleep every night. People dislike you, Loki. I fear that you will die by a friend's hand. But I manage... Actually, I sleep like shit every night... Forget it. I won't let the new name out.
*Ariana continued to pat Rose on her face, giggling.*
Ariana: roos. roos.
Lorcan: *smiling* Congrats, you're her first word.
*He turned and looked at Roland.*
Lorcan: Are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit stunned and... rigid.
Roland: I am okay. Thank you.
You can do what you want, you know my thoughts about the names.
*She reached up to pay Ariana's face back*
Ari, Ari, Ari.
*She smiled up at Lorcan*
I'm honoured... I think... Why would she choose to say my name? Why not mama? Or dada?
*She avoided Roland's eyes*
(Forget. It. Loki. She won't come out, okay?!)
You might think a simple comment can't change a thing, but today I got an anon (http://yourheadisaturnip.tumblr.com/post/94556715559/you-are-an-incredibly-lovely-human-being-who-makes) and it changed my day for the better. I was feeling really, really crappy earlier, but that made me smile again. So I can only hope that I can make at least some of you smile right now by saying this:
There is nobody in this world quite like you. There is only one you and I love you. You're really, really important to me and you've all had such a positive impact on me! I don't really know what I'd do without you guys. You're worth far more than you could ever imagine. You're beautiful.
(*Cuddles L*
Love you.)
I never- *stops self* Very well. I shall assume we are not going to Asgard?
[hugs Lucy]
(We can still go to Asgard, Loki. I'll use the other Rose.)
*Ariana flinched weirdly when Rose patted her back. It just made her pat harder and giggle more.*
Lorcan: I think she wanted you to wake up too. You took a hell of a shock.
*He looked over at Casha with Roland. She was examining his wings, getting him to flap them slowly and bend and stretch them.*
Lorcan: You don't have to feel embarrassed Rose. He doesn't understand what really happened. He thinks it was a test that Casha had set up.
I feel nauseous but my parents don't believe me and I have to go to school
Very well.
*The Bifrost opens and the Asgardians and Rose go up to Asgard*
Heimdall: Frigga is in her chambers.
*hugs everyone* Love you too, Rose.
How is everyone doing? <3
You're so on, bub.
*She patted Ariana's face more, grinning at her*
You're one hell of a cheeky thing, ain't ya?
*She looked at Lorcan, her eyebrows raised*
Dude. She took one Hell of a shock. And I just had to deal with it. And that was more than that. I almost slipped into the bloody dark again!! Do you know how much I hate that?!
And... It's not that I'm... Embarrassed... I'm ashamed... I let her slip...
(My life in a nutshell, Snow...)
Rose2: *She clutched at Loki's arm and held Kari close to her chest. She smiled an pulled away when she heard Heimdall's voice*
Thanks. Kari, this is Heimdall. Heimdall, Kari.
*She walked over to him, letting him see her daughter. Kari gurgled up at the new face*
(I'm just about dead, Luce... Dead tired, sick, in pain, the works...)
*Ariana cried out at Rose as she tried to pull herself closer to Rose's face. Lorcan lifted her off Rose laughing.*
Lorcan: Yep that was the war cry *laughs* Who is she Rose? Have I met that name before?
And you shouldn't be ashamed. You've come out of it, everyone has come out of it alive and well.
To be honest, I don't know how I feel about this Roland guy. He's creeping me out slightly.
*hugs Mushroom* Thank you. :) You're a wonderful person. I love you. :)
@Elleni: Thank you. :) :) :)
Heimdall: Hello, Kari, welcome to Asgard.
I have Leif.
Zanida: I have Ricci.
Heimdall: It is nice to see young faces, they all are cute.
Thank you. *takes them all to Frigga*
*cuddles Rose* Aw:( I'm sorry, honey. I hope you get to get the sleep that you need and during that time the pain vanishes and you feel better. <3
*huggles Star* LOVE YOU TOO, PERFECT! Thank you. <3
*hugs Death*
*hugs Star*
*hugs Luc*
*hugs Zaf*
*hugs Em*
Just wait until you're old enough to fight, babe. Then we'll have a war going on... No. I haven't met her either. Well... Technically, once before, when Blake and I were going a few rounds. She came out and I don't remember a thing...
*She looked at Lorcan skeptically*
I almost didn't... So damn close. Then there was something pulling at the back of my neck and her I am...
I say just give the man a chance, Lorcan. What harm can he do?
Rose2: *Kari giggled up at Heimdall before she lashed out with a kick*
Hey... Loki, she's Definatley yours... Thanks Heimdall!
*She grinned at him before returning to Loki's side, her head resting against his arm*
You okay...?
(L. So damn unlikely... But thanks.
*Hugs L and Snow*)
I am. I just want the twins inside.
Zanida: I cannot wait for Frigga to meet them.
Thor: She seemed excited enough when I told her.
*She kissed him on the cheek, frowning slightly*
I think there's more going on than that, but I'll let it slide.
I can't wait either!
*She squealed softly, getting weird looks from Kari*
I'm so excited!!
(^^ Rose2)
Thor: We alk are. *leads them to Frigga*
Frigga: They all are my grandchildren...Now who is who?
(Rose2)
*She grinned at Frigga, stepping forward*
This is Kari, Loki's and our oldest. Loki has Leif. Then Thor and Zanida have Ricci.
*She held Kari out to Frigga*
Would you like to hold her...?
I'm sorry, Rose. :(
(Thanks, L...)
(Seems I'm here. Because apparently it's too warm to sleep.)
Frigga: Of course. *picks up Kari, holding the baby*
((Msd I'm almost HOME.-Zaf))
*Ariana gurgled at Rose again as Lorcan fixed her in his arms.*
Lorcan: That's the thing, I don't know what harm he could do. What he did to you when he was under threat came out of nowhere, in his stability, what other harm can he do?
And, to me, he just seems a little too obsessed with Ariana.
Rose2:
*Kari giggled at Frigga, pulling at her shirt and trying to eat it*
She's something, isn't she..? Did you ever think that Loki would be a daddy? I honestly didn't when I first met him...
---
*She pouted at Lorcan*
He was defending himself. He wasn't attacking. She attacked an he defended. I would just give him a week. And hey! If I had a sister who had a kid and I didn't know about it, I'd be a bit obsessed with it too!
Frigga: *gently moves her shirt from Kari's grasp* I had faith in Loki, I knew one day he would find sun for himself, and not live in his brother's shadow.
I dedicate this page to my two sons, and three grandchildren.
-Frigga
(*watching from the shadows like a ninja*)
(Rose2)
*Kari gurgled up at her and pulled at her shirt again*
You're a great mother. I wish my mother was like you... Or that I knew what she was like so I could compare her to you...
*She grinned up at Frigga*
Thank you for believing in him. He is wonderful.
(Hear hear!)
*Lorcan felt dizzy suddenly and felt like he was going to throw up. He suddenly gave Ariana back to Rose.*
Lorcan: Take her. Quick!
*He then ran towards the bathroom.*
Casha: Lorcan?
(Lol. Everyone seems to be RPing, so I decided not to ghost. I decided to ninja.
There's a slight difference. Spelling, namely.)
*She took Ariana carefully and followed Lorcan, slower than him*
Lorcan...? You okay buddy? What's wrong?
Frigga: I try to be the best mother possible, and I love all of my children equally.
(Heading off to school. Back in fifteen!!)
*Ariana fell silent as she was carried.
Lorcan tried to head to the toilet but couldn't make it. He vomited into the sink. It was a mixture of blood and silver. He fell back, gasping and wiping his mouth. He hadn't thrown up like that since when he was first poisoned by the silver.*
(Rose2)
Well, you're an amazing mother. I hope I can be half as great as you to the twins...
----
*She looked down at Ariana, kissing her to make sure that she knew it was alright. Then she looked at Lorcan, her eyes widening at the silver and blood*
Lorcan...? Shit. You okay?!
*She leaned down next to him, patting his back. She didn't know what to do*
Casha?!
(Msd.)
(When I first heard the term msd I thought everyone was on drugs... Then realised that was LSD.)
Frigga: You will learn, and with twins you will surely learn a lot.
((Goodnight guys, back to school again! yay! ^.^))
*Lorcan held his head as he tried to slow down his breathing.*
Lorcan: I feel... a bit funny.
*Casha came running into the bathroom, looking from Lorcan to the sink.*
Casha: Oh my god! Lorcan are you okay? What happened?
Lorcan: I... don't know. I feel... weird.
(For whatever reason I own a limited edition model track like edition of a Ferrari 575 GTC worth £100. It's bigger than my head. :P)
(*Lights and explosions and fire and lazers and loud rock music*
*You could just call it a grand entrance*
*Anyways, Blake's here*)
Ellie!
....
:D Ellie!
