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

*Still hasn't had time to solve it*
*Shrugs at the question*
I know what's happened with my characters...
One Rose is with Lorcan and his girlfriend, the other is with Loki on Asgard... On the date...
*Will never get used to saying that*
*Is still feeling odd about it*)
Amy! *pushes Amy off*
I dedicate this page to the place I went to for three days, it was amazing! I may/may not ramble about it later. And to the fact that my age is unknown on here... *evil laugh*
Hehe. Sorry :)
And I also dedicate to me saying:
YO PEEPS IF YOU READ THIS CALL ME EITHER PHOE, FAY, OR SOME OTHER VARIATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED NAMES, DAWG
(guys, you have no idea how hard it is to force myself to type the words lol, YOLO, dawg, peeps, and... *shudders* Yo.)
And hi, Death!
It's fine, Amy. *snaps fingers* *a goat suddenly appears, falling at a high speed out of the sky towards Amy*
Oh! *stares at goat*
Goat: *looks confused and falls onto Amy's face gently*
(I shall always call you Phoe. There is already someone I call Em or Emerald, and there used to be someone called Flame Phoenix. I refuse to call someone something that I call someone else.
Like my Maddi friends.
One I call Texas. The other I call Mad.)
*catches goat in arms*
Aww! *hugs it*
(;~; I'm stuck on the clue... Can you help me?)
Thanks, Death. :)
(which one, Amy?)
*smiles at goat* *snaps fingers and a llama trots up to Amy and starts licking her face*
(Who's Petrichor?)
Llama! *drops the goat and hugs the llama*
(Wasn't she in LSODM somewhere?
Sorry, I'm useless at remembering things. xD I just looked on the wiki page because I lent my books to a friend. :P)
(Oh! Found it! Yay! Thanks!)
Goat: *stares at Amy balefully* *a violin starts to play, lone and sad and the goat stands there, alone in this wide wounded world as darkness and rain starts to fall, just gazing at Amy and the llama*
(I don't even know...)
*stares at goat*
*hugs both the goat and llama*
*pats them on the head*
I have to go now :( Bye! Might return later!
Bye, Amy!
*the llama and goat follow her like the little furry stalkers they are*
I might be distant... And possibly poof... Soz.
I can't find anything on this Petrichor guy...
WHOOO ADVANCED ENGLISH
To those who are wondering WHY Nadir is taunting us, I shall quote a dear friend of mine.
"What kind of a killer leaves clues?"
"That's the problem with genius. It needs an audience."
I, too, have solved the riddle, but as those above have already provided the answer, I shan't repeat it.
heyyy... guuuyyysss.... do you have any writing challenges you want me/my class to do? because we can suggest some and i can see your evil minds loving that.
Write an assignment about the true fears of a character, in a realm locked inside their fears.-Zaf
45.04
And who's to say it has already been solved? Until there is official confirmation, of which I am yet to see, I'm not too sure if it's over yet.
(That is cool, Zaf! 0.0))
*glares at Nadir* A 16 year old, an 8 year old plus the parents of said 16 year old are all stumped. You know, I really hate serial killers, why do you think I'm America's Grand Mage? -Zaf
Thanks, Rose! Loki wants to know if his little Midgardian is here to continue, or would you like to wait until my morning time?-Zaf
I know, Zaf. Who even is this Petrichor guy?!
His Midgardian...? I'm in class not doing anything for the next 45 minutes. So I'm good to continue. Hi Loki, by the way!)
( Death x Loki OTP )
We all sat there, I combed through every damned book. I got the numbers but that guy my nephew goes: Is Silas stupid?
-Zaf
(Snow...
*Laughs and raises an eyebrow**
Seriously man?)
((I shall stay up if I vanish I fell asleep xD-Zaf))
*stands by Heimdall, waiting* Midgardians....*laughs*
(Tell your nephew that an Aussie thinks he's awesome!)
(Okay Zaf! XD)
*She looked at Loki, a sceptical look on her face as she walked up to Loki*
That wasn't fair. Heimdall, do you think that was fair? Because I don't. That was mean. You were supposed to run. Like, with your legs, not with whatever magic-y thing you just used.
*She pouted and looked away*
You're a meanie.
((Did you just...ship...me with Rose?!))
(I know...
*May or may not be dying of embarrassment in the middle of Outdoor Education*
Snow...)
Heimdall: Loki is one for tricks, I do not find that to be surprising.
*smirks* Shall I take you home, Rose? If I am so mean, I guess I cannot let you stay with me.
( :D <3 feel the love man )
*She rolled her eyes and looked at Heimdall*
I think I ought to teach him to play nice...
*She raised an eyebrow at Loki*
You'd miss me too much. And I'd miss the rainbow bridge too much. We both know that that ain't happening. So... You're not going to be naughty, okay? Or else...
((I cannot fall for a Midgardian, I am engaged, that also would be extremely stupid of me.))
(Snow. Smiling in class is bad. It means that I'm not doing my work. And I'm grinning...))
(And that would just be weird. Loki would look about a year older when I die from old age. He doesn't even age! And like he'd fall for me... Ha!)
Heimdall: Loki, play nice, you do know Midgardians are good at beating you up.
I hardly count that as beating, Hulk-
Heimdall: Smashed you around. I saw, and I was certain it hurt.
*mutters something, grabs Rose, and vanishes and appears in his room*
((Rose, he likes you.-Zanida))
*She bit her lip, holding back her laughter. She had heard of the Hulk incident*
Puny God...
*She yelped when she wasn't next to Hiemdall anymore. She turned around quickly before realising she was back in his room. Her head whirled, trying to process jumping from one place to another so quickly. She stared at Loki, not really looking at him, just waiting for her head to return to normal*
(( Shhhhh. OTP 4eva )
*Heimdall
(Wait. What?
*Bites her lip to stop grinning in class*
*Doesn't work*
*Covers her mouth with her hand instead*
I don't really know what to say...)
(the ship name.... Doki )
We really are in my room. I can vanish and appear anywhere I want on a realm, my powers are stronger now.
((He really does, and Astrid said she'd wait for him another hundred years or so.-Zanida))
OH GOD
WELL HI
((You did not just ship me, you mewling quim! I am a god, you, all of you, are beneath me! I am not 'shippable' I do not apply to your Midgardian ways.))
Nadir, what a pleasant surprise. -Zafira Kerias
(( shut your face loki. let me ship. it's all i have.))
Aha! The serial killer! Midgardians, you all will suffer! You are all pathetic if you cannot track that man. Hello, Nadir, come for a visit?
*She shook her head, trying to bring herself back*
As cool as that was... I'm not seeing straight....
*She a wave a nausea hit her and sent her stumbling backwards. She hit the floor and laughed*
Stupid Godly powers...
(Aw, that's cute! ^.^ I'm going to feel like a massive jerk when I speak to Astrid next...
*Cuddles Zanida*))
((Silence!))
Uh... Hi Nadir... How's the murdering going...?
(Snow. I refuse to acknowledge what you just said.))
Rose? *picks her up and places her on the bed* I rather you not on my floor, I never know what blood is on it.
(( SHIIIPPPPPPPPP. LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH LOKI x DEATH!!!! DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI DOKI ))
*She kicked out, even though she couldn't quite see what she was kicking. She smiled as she was placed down on the bed*
Warning. I need warning before I am taken from the floor... And what do you mean you don't know what blood...?
*She shuddered and blinked twice, her vision slowly, but surely returning*
(I ALMOST JUST LAUGHED IN CLASS AND IT IS SO SILENT OH MY GOD I COULD HAVE DIED!)
(( :DDDDDDDDDDDDOKI see what i did there? ))
*sits beside her, laughing* Perhaps you will find Odin's or Thor's blood.
(Snow. I'm going to cry if I keep this in.... If you love me, stop... I will be slaughtered...)
((*fires sceptre at Snow* I am a god, you mewling quim. I suggest shutting your mouth.))
( finnne.... *hugs death* *whispers Doki* *goes back to writing* )
(( you know you love it, Loki ))
Death!
*pouncehugs* it's been too long :D
*flyingtacklehugs Loki and Snow because you have to hug awesome people*
*She tensed*
What...?
*She looked at him, his features slowly settling from blurs. She reached out and touched his cheek. She didn't know why she did it, but she tried to convince herself that it was to make sure she could see*
Why would their blood be here...?
*TACKLES SAPH* MY BRITISH NEW ZEALAND FRIEND
(Snow. I laughed. And everyone just looked at me... Im going to die now.... Or not. I told them that autocorrect on my laptop said something funny.
SAPHY!!!!!!!!
*Cuddles*
Hai!!))
*shockingly does not murder her* I know not, perhaps I am tricking you.
(( Love you Death <3))
*She pulled her hand away and put it in her lap. Then she pouted at him*
That's right. You trick...
(msd...)
Will do, Nadir. Though i do have a tendency to annoy gods and villains a lot...
YES
This is a Titanic ship to rival Ghanith.
*sits beside Snow and grins creepily at Doki*
When did I mention my Britishness? :O
*haggles and gives Snow fishcake for her blogversary*
Nadir, are you afraid of us? You should be. Do you know who I am? Scratch that, you wouldn't. I am Zafira Kerias, Grand Mage of America. I suggest you surrender, or prepare for the Sanctuaries to find you. You will not win this.
(( you told me one time through email, Saph. i have an excellent memory.))
Saphy!
Nadir. O_O
I don't suppose this is a surrender?
I am the god of mischeif, of course I do.
Fabi, Nadir thinks he can win, but he cannot win.-Zafira
Look at all of you, talking to Silas about surrender. why would he when he obviously has a plan.
Plus, that'd leave us without clues to solve.
*haggles. I have no money to haggle with... does Bloglqnd have an official currency? Because it should.
Snow: apparently so ;)
Fabigail!
*grins creepily at Nadir* *runs up and haggles him, because even supervillians deserve hugs*
*HUGGLES
I only wish to catch him, he is a killer, I want him behind bars before he lays a hand on my people. I will do whatever it takes to help catch him.-Zafira
But I did manage to trick you.
*She laughed and shuffled backwards until she was leaning against the headboard*
I rule.
You wish, Rose. I will be king of Asgard one day.
I think the evil mastermind has gone. and the comments were deleted before i could screenshot them. darn.
I posted that he commented. I went straight to Facebook and said he did. -Zaf
I rule you. If I have tricked the untrickable, therefore, I rule the ruler.
*She grinned at him and shook out her hair*
Well, OF COURSE he has a plan!
Talking about surrender just makes it more dramatic.
yeah. but i wanted to screenshot when he talked to me... awww
The idiot probably realized an operative with an actual rank is on. Ha! I knew being Grand Mage was useful.-Zafira
I think my hug showed him the power of goodness, so he's gone off to adopt kittens and change his ways.
*lays beside Rose* I will be king, and perhaps you will rule beside me.
Well, writing calls. toodles.
*whispers Doki and slips into shadows*
Hello!
Nadir better watch it, when I get my operatives over and after him....oooh I hope we get him.-Zafira
Zaffy, I'm an Elder :P Then again, I'm a dead Elder, so I'm probably not that intimidating XD
*Agrees with Mossy* it's all part of the plan...
Bye Snowy *huggles*
Hey, Ameth!
I'm alive, and I'm not exactly trustworthy. I did help Ravel. Anyhow, I bet Nadir slithered back to his corner.-Zafira
Hello Sapphire! I haven't talked to you in a long time!
*noms head*
Wait, no, my math was wrong.
36.07
Not 45.04. That was me getting stuff wrong. Nobody wants things wrong, not in such a water tight, important operation.
Me ruling beside you? Loki, I am from Midgard. I will die before you age a day. I am from a different Realm, Loki.
It matters not to me, I do what I want, Rose.
You remember me! *squeals and norms Ameth's head back affectionately*
*noms
Die in a fire, autocorrect.
Hm...
I really can't stay long--or at all. I just appeared because I saw SapphYFISHWHOIHAVENTSEENINFOREVERIMISSYOU
So, um msd?
Hehe! How have you been?
((I ought to sleep, Rose, I shall return in morning hours.))
Fabi: I was in America for two weeks without my laptop. I tried to get on a train to Seattle but my mother dragged me off again :( I missed you too, blogsis. See you around!
Ameth: Pretty good. I got back from holiday today and my friends celebrated by being even MORE weird than usual XD
Also- ghost buddies :3
Msd too...
o_o Are you a ghost too?
Goodbye Loki!
Ameth: yep, I accidentally killed my character off for the third time a while back. I don't believe in bringing back my OCs more than twice, because then death loses its meaning.
SapphireTC may, however, return someday. Seeing as she's my main character, it's that or float around as a ghost forever.
Oh, I see.
[hugs] Aw. :-( Where did you go?
See you!
...
Technically, Fabi's dead, too...
Also, hi everyone. Sorry I sorta appeared without greeting people.
Still msd...
Fabs: I flew in to San Francisco and travelled down through most of California to Los Angeles.
*laughs* dead characters rule!
Gtg, homework... see you tomorrow, lovely people!
*hugs everyone and gives Amery's head one last nom*
*Disappears*
*sigh* I don't like when I have to poof and then I come back a very long time later...
Wait, NADIR WAS HERE??? O.O
HOLY CRAP
(Fabi! Dugglyn thinks she can come to the Bellevue movie park on the 5th. Can you?)
Elleni!!!
*noms on head*
Amy!
*tries to nom on her head but fails*
;-;
(msd, but will return if I ever do)
*stops nomming on Elleni's head*
Your turn!
*allows Elleni to nom on my head*
*gasps*
YAY!
*hugs Amy*
*noms on her head*
*eyes go hazy*
Mmmmmmm
*eyes go crazy*
*sucks on Amy's entire head*
Who would be Silas Nadir??
I have no idea. Maybe we will know later who it was?
I hope so.
NADIR
IF YOU ARE READING THIS
HELLO
My iPod has got to be the most inconvenient device in the world!
@viv: XD
*hugs*
Did you read what happened?
(Like seriously though!
*hugs back* ((but not like how he hugged her earlier))
What happened with Sil?)
*sighs*
*that was scary*
She forgave me.
(No, )
(Well, yeah. She forgave me.)
(And SILAS NADIR COMMENTED!!)
Forgave you?! As in, she still believed it was your fault?
(What?! Where?!)
Well, no. Nevermind. She apologized.
(I think its the deleted comments above)
Yea, Nadir is the deleted comments.
Hello Vivanus!
Would Silas Nadir on Blogger be 1. Derek 2. HarperCollins 3. Fan?
;~; I realize too late that I might have been able to take note of his blogger url number...
Oh yeah, url!
Can an American pre-order TDOTL from amazon.uk? Everything is in pounds. The hardback is $17.98 in the US
I gtg. Ttyl guys!
Stay safe!
Bye Elleni! I think American's can preorder from Amazon.uk!
*Americans (ugh, extra apostrophe)
Bye Ell
Hi Amy
-.-" dont ask where I've been for the last hour. I don't want to relive it.
Wait, where have you been?
(I will hereby destroy I & E or y teacher from keeping me away, Loki. Goodnight.)
Silas wasn't Derek. I checked. Maybe Harper Collins?
I think its a fan.
(Bye Rose)
How did you check?
The last hour my mum and I were sitting at a bus depot waiting for my brother. And it turns out he was at home for hale the time
Url
Ohh :(
Msd
(Oh, ouch)
I'm still here, I was telling Loki goodnight.
What if it was derek?
(Oh, hi Rose)
Its not.
How do you know?
Click his profile.
Who's? Nadir's or Derek's
Perhaps Derek has more than one account? I know I do.
I think its a minion. On Facebook, it was also from a fan account with Cory and Aby
That's what I'm thinking Rose
Derek isnt the type to have more than one. Remember how much he complained about having to write a blog??
Which minion?
How would I know?
Brb.
I say it was another account.
I'm with Rose although let's take a minion head count.
*has just decided that Nadir must be Elleni*
Can I ask a stupid question?
Go ahead, Viv.
Is there a difference between a minion and a skuttlebug?
XD you think Im Nadir? Why?
I've always wondered that
Nope. Not that I've ever noticed. I've Ren on here since 2012. I think Skuttlebugs are the previous generations. Minions are the newer gen.
Ohhh
You are suspiciously disappearing...and you would so do it if Derek asked you to.
Oh ok.
HAHA XD i would. Because that would be awesome. Wouldnt you?
Thats cuz I had to study. Its not like Nadir came on everytime I disappeared.
How do you know that I'm not Nadir? I'm never on for his posts...I came on suspiciously right bore everything was set in action and I barely helped with the riddle...
*Chuckles*
*before
He only posted twice, dude.
Are you admitting that you are Nadir?
Am I?
(Ok the interrogation scene from Muppets two keeps popping into my head here)
XD
Well, you just said "How do you know its not me?" It's like you WANT me to think its you.
Sam:
Kermit, let’s begin
Describe the day you played Berlin
Constantine: We rehearsed and then we walked about
We ate bratwurst and sauerkraut
Jean: That night at ten o’ three
Were you inside the portrait gallery?
Constantine: From ten o’clock to ten o’ four
Was when we did the show encore
Sam: Hmm, Frog we’ve got our doubts
Can you confirm your whereabouts?
Constantine: My alibi is watertight
The audience saw me sing all night
Jean: Monsieur we know you did the crime
Constantine: I was on stage that whole time
Ask who sang “Rainbow Connection”
Sam and Jean: Thank you Kermit, no more questions
Jean: You know, I think they did it
Sam: No they didn’t
Jean: Yes they did, and we can pin it
Sam: If they did, how did they do it?
Jean: If they didn’t, how did they didn’t?
Sam: If they didn’t then it’s easy, ’cause they simply didn’t do it
Jean: If they did it, then I knew it, but we’ve nothing that can prove it
The hex :P
Jean: They didn’t
Sam: No, they didn’t
Jean: There’s no way they did the crime
Sam: They couldn’t they’re too stupid
Jean: They’re not criminal masterminds
Sam: We do not know who did it, but we know who didn’t do it
Sam and Jean: So we know who didn’t do it yes we know who didn’t do it
