Minions! Operatives! With just over two weeks to go, the countdown
to Theatre of Shadows has truly begun. There are only a few
tickets left, so if you want to take part in an ASTONISHING ADVENTURE THAT WILL
CHANGE THE WORLD* then please book now to secure a place in Dublin!
(*May not actually change the world.)
Today marks the launch of the Theatre of Shadows microsite:
here you'll find galleries, an archive of all the messages so far in the hunt
for Silas, and all the news to come. Just click the link ENTER THE DARKNESS from the main Theatre of Shadows page. We've built this specifically to include all the
American, Swedish and Norwegian Minions — who until this point have been unable
to register — in order to have a truly global experience. There'll be
heaps more to come, and for anybody not based in USA Sweden or Norway, don't
forget to register for the online Theatre of Shadows Mystery here.
The microsite password will be changed regularly so keep on here.
First one to get you started though is… RESCUE.
Wondering what on earth I'm talking about?
Theatre of Shadows is an immersive fan event like no other…
on Saturday 27th September, those lucky enough
to secure a ticket will be taken on an adventure inside the
world of the books. I'll be there, along with the incredible LARP (Live Action
Role Playing) specialists who have helped produce this madness. There'll
be role-playing, problem solving and an amazing quest to tackle. The
event is tailor-made by yours truly and I'll be writing a brand new short story, inspired and informed
by YOUR participation, on the day! Which means the brave actions of ALL the
Operatives – Live and Remote - stand a chance of entering officially into the
Skulduggery history books.
Once you've registered and are heading into battle: remember to
leave a REFLECTION behind to keep friends and relatives quiet. Our shiny new Reflections Hall of Fame app is now live on Facebook. I want to see your preppiest, most saccharine
outfits and expressions people! Remember — you Reflections are the goody-goody
two-shoes version of you, so smile, be happy, and be the "perfect"
version of you that you can be! If you'd like to share these as your profile
pictures then all the better. Mention #TheatreofShadows so that other
Operatives will know you're in on the secret.

But...surely you can feel...how m much it hurts... *voice becomes hoarse*
L: *Looks up at rocket* oh s... *Disappears*

T thanks Soph

*collapses unconscious*

(Hey Viv ^^)
(Hey!)
(Hello, Vivanus.)
*steps back into a portal and hugs Viv from behind*
*covers his eyes and puts on a deep voice*
Guess who.
*smiles*
Silente Tempest?
(brb
going on my phone
it is dead, so may be a few mins*
(Hello viv)
(Hello Sophia and Edward)
*goes back to her normal voice and drops her hands*
Damn that was a good guess.
*turns around and hugs her*
No, just an educated one.
(And I'm back)
*inky starts screaming *
*hugs him back*
(btw Viv you couldn't have chosen a better time/day to come on...seriously.)
Educated indeed. What's with the tux?
Who else would hug me?
And also I could tell it was you: your hugs are different.
L: *Sarts to snore*
(Why? Is there something special about today?)
The hugging monster might hug you...
Amber: *runs out from no where and starts yapping at Viv's feet*
*smiles*
So, what's with the tux?
Heyey!
(that's one way you could put it. El would probably phrase it differently...and Sophia for that matter..maybe Dug would as well..)
The tux? I was hoping I could find a date for a ball tonight.
Ed! Come back
*stands up and starts running, still unconscious *
*vixie yelps*
(Vas going on?)
(Heya Trip ^^)
(Hey trip)
L: *Starts to dribble on bar*
Hmm I dunno finding a last minute date would be hard...
Amber: *yaps louder wanting attention*
(How would YOU put it?)
(Ed is dead
Inky is ill
Lament is being a bitch)
(Me? I put it as 'Sil really needed to see you before what is coming comes.')
(I know that. But why is this a special day?)
*Weighs picking Amber up against ruining his tux*
*picks her up and holds her without getting her hair on him*
Hey girl.
*faces Sil*
Yeah, I've almost run out of options.
(Its a thing. Not really special to most people.)
Amber: *whines and licks Viv's face*
*laughs*
Amber seems more than happy to go with you..
*vixie sneezes and transports Herself and Inky to the bar*
*inky collapses on the floor in a mess*
I CAN ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE!!! IT WORKED YES!!!!!
-Zaf
(Sorry, technology issues.)
(Hello Zaf.)
(Hey zaf)
L: *Moves slightly at noise in bar*
(Don't worry Soph
Hey Zaf)
(Hello.)
*sobs in sleep * why... Did you... Go
(Try me.)
*cones down the stairs of his bar, and rushes to Inky's side when he sees her*
Inky! What's wrong?
(Hello Dragona)
L: *Still asleep*
*nuzzles Amber*
Yes, but she won't fit the £8,000 luxuriously high class dress I bought.
(Hey Dragon ^^)
(Hey Edward! How are you?)
(No thanks Trip. I doubt you'd taste very nice.)
(Hey Chloe!)
(Yay Zaf!!! Please don't blow up anyone I know during your celebration!!!)
*cries and wakes* he's ...gone *shakes*
Thats a VERY expensive dress...
(Fine thanks, how are you)
L: *Wakes and takes another bottle from bar*
(I'm fine, thank you.)
(Why so secret?)
*stands in Blogland, watching*
*explodes happily* -Zaf
It is actually. And it's all yours if you go with me.
*gives her a sly smile*
Or I could ask someone else...
*still here* *still prepared to roleplay if anyone wants to*
(Cause so far the people who have been informed of it other than I and the other person participating has said 'No. Don't do It.')
What? *turns and sees Ed*
Oh.
Oi! *points at Lament* You're barred. You have ten seconds to leave.
Oh, hang on, no I'm not. Brb.
(Trip, eds dead and not here)
L: No
You don't know any other females my size.
*grins*
Unless you plan on taking Ashlea.
(Don't do it Sil! I don't know what it is but don't do it!)
(Remember, inky is a wolf and will seriously go schizo without the one she loves
Only a matter of time before her animal takes over)
(Well, I've always been a little different. I'd love to know.)
(And El's response to it really want enjoyable to read.)
No, I wasn't thinking about taking her.
So is that a yes?
(**wasn't.
If I told you trip I'd have to kill you.)
*Roland had brought Rose back into the spare room to check on Ariana and Marrok.
Lorcan was limply pacing the room as Casha sat with her hands on her face.*
Lorcan: I don't like what they did. No scratch that, I fucking hate it. We can't let them stay here any more.
Casha: Lorcan don't be ridiculous. That's my brother and our friend who have done nothing but help us since they arrived.
Lorcan: Casha, you can't just raise the fucking dead!! I know he was a family pet and Jesus I even cried a few tears over him but you just can't do that.
Casha: I know you can't, our parents forbade us from ever trying to attempt it but what's been done is done and we're just going to have to work forward now.
Lorcan: I... I fucking can't, I honestly don't think I can. Dammit!! I need a fag.
*He limped out onto the balcony where he sat down and starting smoking a cigarette. Casha walked into the kitchen to start on lunch for the day.*
Oh. Pity. *suddenly, Lament is lifted in the air and is carried over to the door. He gets thrown out the door off the porch and into the mud*
And stay out!
It wasn't a no.
(Hello Em)
I guess yeah I forgot what I was going to do.-Zaf
(Hey em)
*sits there and shakes*
*Vix sits there and cries*
(Hey Em!)
(Correction, you'd have to try and kill me.)
L: *Stands* Why am I barred? *Walks back in* I have never done anything to you or even seen this bar before.
(@Zaf you still up for it?)
(Try? Oh Tripathy.)
Why is she even rping if Rose...isn't on...?-Zaf
Yeah I guess I'll do it
*suddenly once again the bar chucks him out, on his back this time*
I don't care, I don't like you. *shuts and locks the door*
*heads back over to Inky, picking her up*
Shhh, it's okay. It's okay.
(You guess? You don't have to you know.)
(You know that I am more powerful than ye.)
He's gone... I couldn't save him...
You're too indecisive. What if I persuaded you?
*pulls her in close to him*
L: *Turns and smashes against door* I have a right to be able to drink
I'm going to I'm just not thinking. Yeah...uh...give me a second to write this out.-Zaf
*raises an eyebrow*
Persuade how?
*continues to watch, silentely*
*presses his lips against hers*
This enough?
*some unknown person takes Silente, luring the vampire with blood* *She will find herself trapped in a room, not even in the New York Sanctuary, somewhere....only Zafira knows, not even Ravel*
*smiles, kssisng him back*
Hmmm...
*pulls on the front of his shirt and kisses him passionately, almost hungrily, sucking on his lower lip slightly*
Actually, you don't. *next time he slams his fist a few thousand volts run through him, not a killing blow, but a clear 'bugger off'*
No no, don't worry. Just don't worry. It's okay, it'll all be okay.
*carries her upstairs, still reassuring her*
*follows the blood and frowns at where she is*
What the??
*looks around for the exit*
L: *Walks off to forest*
(Well this is awkward!)
*smiles sadly* thank you... But I fail to see how
*fever starts going slowly*
(I'm actually pleased I decided to have the Mind Mage as a character again - at least he will be able to find Zafira and Silente.
Ah information...)
It's what we do. We always do. We make it okay.
*puts her down on his bed and heads off into the more shadowy area of the loft*
*The exit, is only visible to a Necromancer, the discipline of Zafira Kerias*
Zafira: Hi, Silente! I have my son, Aro, and he's going to help me try something on you. Have you ever heard of Argeddion?
*a figure comes into the room, wearing the white robes a Sense-Warden would have worn in Mevolent's dimension, Aro's home until he came to his mother*
(*drools* Information…)
Uh Sil? Sil?
Where the?!?
*steps away from aro, eyes wary*
Yes....he's that one who learnt his true name...what's going on Zaf?
*smiles* you're a great friend
*vixie jumps on her lap*
(The logic being - the organisation the mind mage works for has infiltrated EVERY single level of EVERY single Sanctuary - they know EVERYTHING about every Sanctuary, and basically everything about everything, really. Tracking chips, microphones - even some of the order themselves using cloaking spheres, and general mind control.)
(Am I not allowed RP if Rose isn't here??)
Zafira: We're going to have a little fun!
Aro: This will not hurt, Silente. I promise. *enters her mind,cutting off her movement, allowing Zafira to enter and work on her thing*
Zafira: *starts to work on rewriting Silente's entire identity*
((You're going to hate me, so so so hate me for what I make you.))
*spins around*
SIL?!
*sees the blood*
*follows*
*starts running*
SIL!!!!
Oh, really, it's nothing. *continues to rummage around*
Hunter: *bursts into the room where Sil is*
Hi.
(In case anyone's wondering, me and Ez have tabs on that Sanctuary now. We think we might need to keep track of Sanctuaries and so on due to our vampire problem. And Silente's . . . not really my friend, but could be an ally, so there you go, logical explanation.
Really fortuante, this, actually. Wasn't expecting it to work out this easy.)
*places his hand on his amulet, vanishing from Blogland and appearing next to Zafira* *takes a Uzi submachine gun from inside his cloak*
It would be wise to stop, Zafira Kerias.
*goes ramrod straight as her movement is cut off, eyes turning almost fearful as she can't do anything but scream inside her own head*
*starts shaking* that bastard Lament could... Brig him back.
He refuses though
(Hunter - more people with tabs on the Sanctuary. :) )
Hunter: *looks over at Zaf, Aro and Silente*
*gets the sense of energy transferral*
Hey.
Stop that.
*maybe annoying the Sanctuary isn't the best idea, but he's kind of happy to annoy authority* *it makes him feel more normal*
(Hunter: @Dragona: I'm surprised the Sanctuary is anything BUT tabs.
Soon there won't be a Sanctuary LEFT.)
*anyone entering the room will notice a ring around the three orginally in tje room, should anyone step in, they will become french fries, aka burnt*
*tilts head at Hunter, but doesn't say a word*
Well, that sounds like something we would do.
*emerges from the darkness, holding a small jar covered in paint symbols*
Hunter: *oh, no they won't*
*absorbs the energy that is meant to be french-frying him and glows suddenly, levitating up and hitting his head on the ceiling* *thrusts out a hand and burnts the doorframe, and slowly sinks to the floor, wincing*
*continues to scream inside her mind, not understanding what's happening or why her head feels to be shifting and moving around inside*
Zafira: *works to write Silente's personality as a twelve year old mortal girl who loves the color pink and has a massive crush on Justin Beiber*
*energy twists from his eyes, connecting with Zafira's head*
L: *Sits down by tree*
*tilts wolf head to the side * what's that?
(Wb Starry)
Hunter: *once the purple sparks have cleared from his vision enough for him to see, he notices the Mind Mage*
*you again*
*he blinks, and burns a bit more of the doorframe*
*everything is fizzy, sending him up into a happy kind of eurphoria, and it's about as hard to keep his mind on the ground as it is his feet*
*he's falling fast, though, and although he knows that's good, it still feels horribly like falling*
(OMFG YOU'RE TURNING SIL INTO MY WORST NIGHTMARE)
Zafira: *shadows absorb the energy, its as if they are an armor around her*
((Since I haven't rped Zaf with others...remember she knows her true name. So she's going to be hard to beat.))
Hunter: *is here now, enough for him to say he's here*
*frowns, watching the Mind Mage*
*walks up to Zafira and puts a hand on her arm, trying to draw her energy out of her*
(Hunter: I'm trying to beat Zaf?
But then I'd have to work on annoying the NEW authority.)
((You shouldn't give me that much power, I will make you suffer. *laughs* It fits so perfectly though!!!-Zaf
*follows the trail to the end*
*looks up*
*connects with Silente's mind instead, opposing every change Zafira is making*
It's a hug in a jar. Whenever you uncork it, you get a hug.
*hands it over, then steps back*
So, if no one's around, you can still feel our support.
*starts feeling woozy and uncomfortable in her mind as stuff is changed, parts of her are striped away and new parts implemented*
Zafira: *makes shadows go at Hunter, like a boa, ready to strangle him if they get hold of him*
*starts reinforcing Silente's mind*
Hunter: *looks at the Mind Mage and sees that doing a lot of energy change too*
*good or bad energy change?*
*he doesn't trust the Mind Mage, but he KNOWS that Zaf is doing bad* *well, he doesn't, but it's a guess*
*he manages to pull some shadows out of Zaf, but he's not sure that's doing much*
*maybe he should just knock her out*
*tears well up*
*goes and hugs him* thank you
*smiles*
*walks in*
Ahem!
Hunter: *easily absorbs the shadows, forwning slightly as the purple sparks amp up*
*frowning
L: *Appears in bar and grabs a bottle*
Zafira: Leave me alone. You'll never do anything to me.
*all this messing with her head is giving her a gigantic headache*
Hunter: *frowns, looking puzzled** I'm trying to do something to you?
*manages to get a hold of some otehr energy, and pulls at that, but Zaf's a bit of a mess, what with all that different magic inside her, so what he's pulling he has no clue*
I really don't want to ruin my tux. It's already sweaty as is. Back off Zafira.
*throws out mental defences in the thousands* *starts repairing what Zafira changed*
Hunter: *tries to think about this logically, mentally untangling the mess* *damn, this is like trying to untangle paint*
*hang on*
*he lets go of Zaf a second, and focuses on the enrgy flowing towards Silente*
*that's it*
*he puts his hand back on Zaf*
Zafira: *backs away from Hunter* None of you will do anything to me. You're useless against me. Silente will be an asset to my plans!
*may or may not totally try to do a Ravel and take over the world with Loki so sorcerers rule*
*hugs her tightly*
It's okay.
*the bottle flies from his hand and hits him over his head. The invisible force throws him out an open window which then closes*
Hunter: *looks at Zaf* Woah.
Is this what I look like to other people?
*teleports behind her and grips her arm with his hand, his gloves strengthening, and searchessearchessearches for that energy*
*tilts head at Zafira, energy still flowing between him and Silente*
You are being removed from power.
L: *Shouts at bar* You will pay Castalan
*walks out and sees l*
*ignores him*
*goes back to the cottage*
*changed into human and puts on a dress*
*notices the locket, opens it*
Our date in Paris
*starts weeping*
*open jar and feels the hug*
*sobs more*
*mentally calms down at the Mind Mages corrections*
*still can't move and has a monster headache*
*whimpers slightly*
*hbut it's hard, beacuse he can't hurry, he has to pay attention to details . . .*
*is that it?*
*he pulls at some form of magical energy, absorbing it into him, but whether it's -*
*no*
*he senses at the Silente-energy again, then senses back at Zaf*
*is in motion faster than Zafira can register*
*sends a palm across her jaw*
I CAN do something.
*kicks her knee cap*
Zafira: You can't remove me from power! You're not even from America, or Earth! None of you have a say! I don't want to lose my position....I worked...so hard...I can't go to a gaol!!
*removes the pain from Silente's headache, still throwing up mental defences*
*in Silente's mind* There is no reason to be alarmed.
Hmm I better give him a thank you present
*brings him a bottle of wine*
*goes and sees him*
What happened?
