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

*bursts out laughing*
Omg! Stay right there! Don't move!
*runs to go find a camera*
*flexes and the shirt tears*
Oops, my beer gut again.
*calls after her*
Get a sewing kit while you are at it!
Not really happy with living in sweden right now...
*comes back, camera in hand*
*starts snapping pictures, laughing so much*
It looks better on you than it did on me!
It's falling!
*shirt falls off*
*armor doesn't reform over his torso*
*laughs at the scraps of material*
Rip horrid pink shirt. Now you rest in pieces.
*looks back at him, pointedly not staring at his chest*
*lets all the liquid metal out of his armor, covering the shirt scraps forever*
I HAVE DRAWER'S BLOCK AGAIN.
UT'S LIKE WRITER'S BLOCK.
BUT FOR DRAWING. :/
There, now you never have to see it again
*grins*
Bye bye shirt.
(brb food)
(Star, sketch a stone wall...it always works.)
(Proposes to Sil while she's gone...JK)
🐨
@Viv: Lol. XD
Nah. It's lytical art drawer's block. But stone walls sound like cool things to draw . . . hmm.
(They are super easy! Just make declinining scraggly loops and then shade them and all of a sudden they are rocks!)
Super easy is less fun though . . . XD
(But it gets over drawer's block like nothing you've ever seen)
(@Viv: Yay! :P
Hey, Star! *hugs* How're you doing? :)
Sorry, distant -- writing D: )
(sorry that took longer than expected. Too much rabbit food. Not enough me food.)
(You eat rabbit food?)
(no. She's not.)
*smiles and looks at Viv*
*eyes sparkling, as they usually do after she's changed*
*skin refreshed and almost glowing*
@Viv: Okay. Thanks. :)
Gey Taia. :)
Wb Silente!
Hey, Lyrkira! It's been a while since I saw you around - I hope you're doing okay? :) ^^
@Star: Um. I don't know how to help. Maybe your brain/hands just don't want to lyrical art? :P
Sometimes if I'm block-y, I scribble things that I like, or go to tumblr and look through old 'likes' for inspiration.
Or I give up and do something else. :P
(I was referencing lettuce. I don't mind it but there was TOO DAMN MUCH)
(Star, my pleasure...)
(I know, my friend calls it that too...)
Soooo...
*rocks back and forth on her heels*
((how did my comment to Lykira happen a half hour late? O_O ... Oh well. =P)
Wb, Silente!
*laughs* Aw. :(
( I like lettuce, though. C: )
*drags his gaze from Sil's body to her eyes, where they get promptly stuck*
So, uh, now what?
*grins, she saw that*
You concentrate? And not on you and your wild desires.
*laughs*
Uh-huh
What else is there to concentrate on?
(what happened to Erica?)
(also now you told us Viv HAS a RING ring she won't shut up.)
rolls her eyes*
Reality darling.
*grins and hugs him*
(Hello.)
(hello how are you? *thinks of something related to Sophia* *laughs at that mental image*)
(I'm fine, thank you. And what related to Sophia is there to laugh about? :P)
(Grr you always leave. Bye.)
(When Sil forgot who she was and who she has become. Imagining Sophia stuck in Leri's place.)
@Taia: Possiy. It's more an idea block, though. :/
Yeah. I should probably poof to unblock myself. Not that I'm commenting much anyway.
Gtg
(bye Viv. Again.)
(Silente - probably wouldn't have worked that well. :P)
(Thats why I laughed. I get the idea Sophia would just hit her round the head and tell her to stop pratting around XD)
(Or words to that effect. :P)
(Yeah. She isn't very....empathetic. Well she probably CAN be but she isn't a lot of the time)
*dies laughing* Taylor handcuffed Trevor so I tell Trevor do a Loki, Trevor tricks Taylor to make the handcuffs loose so he can escape.-Zaf
@Zaf: That rocks. XD
Sophia isn't awfully nice. XD That's not necessarily a bad thing though.
I haven't heard from them since. I'm kinds concerned but then again I'm tempted to do a Loki and go up there and scream kneel.-Zaf
I prefer that one, Roki, if you wouldn't mind.
Some of you idiots actually think 0.07 - 3 is 0.04.
Sorry was busy.
Hello Silas you idiotic moron.
@Elleni: Yeah . . . I like Roki better. :)
I dedicate this page to
A special person I know
Funny, sensitive, awesome
A pleasure to be around
Even if occasionally annoying.
And perfect.
And that person
IS YOU!
Whoever you are that is reading this, lurkers, bloggers, Derek. This page is to you.
So Nadir thinks he can waltz in this meager palace.
Sorry, internet went.
Hi, Dragona! Hi Elleni! How're you both? :)
@Star: For an ideas block, I'd probably either look somewhere for inspiration things (which for me is where tumblr comes in, or just some way of having a collection of cool things readily available).
Or maybe kind of just draw anyway? Like, idk, find a picture/person/object and do that? Or find, like, 30-day-drawing-challenges, and do them in 30 minutes. OR SOMETHING.
Or, idk, draw Hunter? Draw a new character? Draw somebody/thing from somewhere else? Take a look at different styles, materials and stuff?
Or put your music player on shuffle, and just draw for each song, moving onto the next drawing as soon as the song switches over, until you find something that you like and want to continue?
idk.
Good luck? Have fun?
:)
^^
You thought you could just waltz into this place Loki.
Yes, well I am not a serial killer running from Sanctuary Operatives, at least I have the brains to not tell the fools where I am.
It's true. He did.
How are you El?
You morons couldn't catch me even if you tried.
Do you Loki? Do you really? You sure bout that?
I mean. We know where you are. For all you know we could be sanctuary operatives.
Did you just call us morons, you mewling quim? I am a god you dull creature, you are the moron. Learn from your actions, you do not tell the fools any information.
*whispers* What's Roki?
Loki x ???
*hugs Silente* Lovely dedication. Thank you. :) :) :)
Then tell us where you are Nadir. Cause you know we're comin for you. Better start running.
Curious.
(I'm fine, thanks, Taia, you?)
(Sophia isn't really a nice person - she USED to be before shit happened to her, but yeah.
With people doing her job - some of the people who do it are cold blooded assassins.
Some are just peacekeepers.
She's somewhere in the middle. She just gets the job done no matter what. :P)
Oh my god. SILAS NADIR!!! You are evil.....-Zafira
I did. It's just that you imbeciles can't figure it out.
But we already have from your first clue. You realise if you give up sooner you're less likely to have a horrible punishment.
What type of clue was that, Nadir? Are you sure you wven know?-Zafira
(Am I the only one who wants Silas Nadir to y'know, get away? :P)
(I partially want that too. But I find arguing with him amusing.)
@Taia: Thanks. :) :) :)
See? People getting job done, good. *nods*
@Loki: No offense, but you're a moron. :P
(I'm good, thanks Dragona. :) ^^
*sneakyhugs Fabi*
LOL, Dragona. :P
I'm still a couple of books behind, so I don't really know enough to have an opinion. I hope he has a nice day, if that's at all along the same lines. :P )
I am not the moron, Star. As I said: I wouldn't tell my enemy where I am.
*agrees with Star about Loki being a moron*
@Loki: Only a moron would think there was only one way to be a moron. :P
*laughs*
*finds it difficult to call any of you morons*
*but I can kind of see where you're coming from xD*
We know where Loki is.
And we could be undercover operatives.
*sneaky eyes*
Loki is definitely a moron. And he needs to get a bloody grip on what 'advanced technology' is.
Especially Elleni.
She could have secretly been sent here! To find Bloglands criminals and sort them out.
*takes a step away from El*
All this time...
If anyone will be sorting out criminals around here, it will be me. And I work alone.
*laughs at Sophia*
Nah mate nah.
Sure El. Try. I DARE you.
*grins*
I am not your friend, Tempest. And I doubt you can stop me doing my job.
*laughs* XD
I never said you were Sophia. Just that, on the whole 'sorting our bloglands criminals' front...yeah. No. Not doing the best job ever.
*fires sceptre at Sophia* Silence, you mewling quim!
*laughs* You guys. :P
Gotta go. Bbs, maybe. Bye!
*rolls her eyes at El*
*thats an old one*
*and she got bored of it*
*taps a sigil on her chest and hee lungs reinflate*
Nice try El.
Yo people
Hey Viv. El's a secret sanctury operative here to arrest the criminals.
(Whats happening?)
*is thrown backwards by the energy blast from the sceptre, but her shields protect her from most of the impact* *stands up again, drawing her pistol*
Loki, Loki, Loki... you think some stick with an LED on the end is going to impress me?
Hey Flick
I'm sorry Loki,
I just checked, quim isn't a word.
Hiya
*laughs*
El this is funny.
Cool!
I knew it. All along.
*tackles Elleni*
Well, if someone is hunting criminals, I'd imagine I'm somewhere on their list. That'll be interesting.
I love you guys. XD XD
Hey Alastair. How are you?
(Vivanus - quim is a word. It's slang for... Well.)
*Is here b/c Alastair :)*
Probably not, babe. You're busy with Adra xP
(I know, I have a clean dictionary)
*literally picks Elleni up by the ankles and throws her*
*lands on her butt*
This is comfy. Thanks El
*crosses her legs and starts singing twinkle twinkle little star*
*watches confused*
*pulls out chair, sits on it*
We're not going into detail what that actually means.-Zaf
(I know, I know, people...I was commenting on the variety of my dictionary)
*throws herself backwards to avoid it, fighting against the air*
That's pretty.
I get the feeling she's actually trying to hurt me.
*throws a metal shield to block the fire*
Quickly, before the friendship dissipates, Sil, show her the picture.
*fires her pistol at Loki*
(Zaf, also Sophia's weapons don't fire bullets so Loki might want to y'know move out of the way or something.)
Picture? Which one? I draw many!
*Jumps out of the way*
*rolls onto floor*
*Snaps fingers and summons a bow and arrows*
(I decided to add something to Inky character cos she is vunerable as a human ;))
*punches El's nose*
I demand. The. Right. To. Breathe.
(The photo...of the pink shirt)
Hello, love. *hugs Adra* Shall we pick up where we left off?
(Hmmm, I didn't like it)
Sure! *Licks the tip of his nose gently, then kisses his forehead* *Cuddles*
(everyone comments fast, so I didn't know if it fitted)
(Hey, Silas. Wanna come out and have a chat? Afraid you'll reveal too much?)
(I OBJECT ELLENI! YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THAT PICTURE!)
(I tried on one of Sil's tiny, ugly, pink shirts.)
(fine. Don't see the picture.)
*can't move but stares at Viv*
El. Let him go. Now.
(How can you asphyxiate me and control her at the same time? )
*blacks out, headbutting El on the way down*
EL LET HIM GO!
(In that case can Viv control the iron in your blood? Btw, bad idea to make Viv black out)
*calms down slightly*
Thank you.
*a sigil burns and then fades out as it is blocked by the cuffs*
Jag: ahem!
*smiles, kissing her hair* Well, of course you cared back then. I imagine you were the only one who did. That is because you are exceptionally kind. Too caring for your own good, sometimes. *brushes his fingers over the lines of her face* Please know that I'm asking not because I mind, but because I'd like to help you, if I can; why can you not speak?
(That's why!)
*hears Jag but can't turn to face him*
Hey Jag.
Yo, Jag
I just have a question: Why can Alastair and Adra not rp them kissing each other or cuddling? I just notice every time they come on, that's what it is.
*Jag is holding a six year girl in his arms*
Jag: Go along and play sweetie.
JD: *walks over to Sil*
Hi! Will you be my friend?
*frowns and tries to fight against the air*
El. Stop. I am NOT your toy!
*Adra pauses for a moment* *Quietly* Sorry... I screamed so much that I lost my voice. I was instantly back into the habit of being quiet... Sorry.
Jag: *clears his throat*. Now, Miss Jazz, please explain why my friend is unconcious on the ground.
*smiles at the child*
Sure. Aww look at you! You're adorable! Just one thing, don't come to close.
(WHAT IS IT THEN?)
*mutters*
Liar
JD: why not?
Jag: Yes, the super-fit, cleaver trained, athlete had a blood clot. Definitely. Real reason. Now.
(..I may have missed that comment.
I have water inside me?!)
Jag: You have three seconds. Viv doesn't eat candy.
*sighs*
Elleni is the cause, incase you haven't guessed, Jag
((Partially because our relationship was born out of tragedy and has not seemed to escape, so we've taken to comforting each other that way. Partially because we quite enjoy kissing each other and cuddling. Each of us here has something we do most often- some more often than others. This is ours.))
You've no need to apologize, love. I only care that you're alright.
Jag: Oh, I noticed, Miss Flame. I just want her to say it.
*Stumbles back*
*regains balance*
*aims an arrow at El*
*sweeps a hand up, catching Elleni under the chin*
*kicks her legs out a split second later*
Because i can't promise i won't be forced to hurt you. I have an idea! See that lady over there?
*talking about Flick*
She'll play! She's GREAT at hide and seek!
*turns to face the child*
*lowers the arrow*
Um...hi
Hey El? Mind letting me move of my own free will?
JD: Ok! *goes over to Inky*
Hello! Will you be my friend?
I know, Alastair... *She squeezes his hands gently* Is Aretha still here?
Sure... What would you like to play?
(Oh Elleni, that's the second mistake you've made.)
(OBJECTION!!!)
(Everyone is speaking so much/so fast. 0_0)
(No. Unless you use it in yucky ways.)
JD: Hide and go- DADDY!
*looks at Elleni*. You are a horrible person.
Ah! Sorry Jag I swear this isn't me!
ELLENI YOU HAG LET ME GO!
petrichor?
Jag: *takes the knife out of Sil's hand and sets it down*
*laughs*
Elleni, you do know that blades don't hurt me, right?
*not sure what to do*
*kneels down next to young girl*
Um, you dad is very busy, shall we go and play somewhere else?
Thanks.
El. LET ME GO!
JD: *squares up to her full height of three foot eleven and marches over to El*
((Will Alastair split himself and talk to the Asgardians?))
who is the petrichor?
(How come what?)
Wait! She is very dangerous *goes after JD)
(AWW SO ADORABLE!)
('4 REALZ')
Jag: *the knife bounces off*
*throws fireballs at El in rapid succession*
((Perhaps, if they asked, but I'd need an excellent reason to.))
No, she's gone out, though she hasn't gone far. Why do you ask?
(That's Jag adept power...physical invulnerability)
Sorry!
ELLENI JAZZ LET ME CONTROL MY BODY AGAIN I NEED IT!
oh thanks I don't remember him though
JD:*kicks Elleni's knee as hard as she can*
Violence is not the answer!
I was just wondering... I was kind of afraid that they'd come for her- or for you- or me.. *Bites her lip gently, then lays her head against him*
*pulls JD away from El*
Please don't do that!
(AWW THAT CHILD IS SO CUTE I WANNA HUG HER I'M QUITE SUPRISED SHE'S NOT GOING AFTER ME!)
Jag:*demolishes the air bubble*
*reverses El's control on Sil*
Jag: *gets up*
So you want an elemental battle eh?
*growls*
FOR GODS SAKE ELLENI YOU WITCH OF A HAG LET ME THE HELL GO OR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!
*just watches all the action*
Alright. What the hell is happening?
*Picks up JD* This sint the place for you....*thinks*
Oh, I know! Lets go outside and play Hide and Seek
(Jag is magically ambidextrous)
(Hahaha first! )
*isnt
Jag: you dare control my daughter!
*is engulfed in flames*
What, the self-proclaimed gods? I've killed them enough times already- I'd hope they would eventually get the message.
Jag:*charges at Elleni*
JD: but I want to be with Daddy!! Do you have magic? I have magic!!!
(Ive decided that, since Inky is vunerable as a human, she can 'requip' which is when she can summon any weapon and armour)
I do have magic, indeed *smiles*
Lets go
*shoulder barges into her*
*lands on top of her and brings her to the ground*
