Theatre of Shadows

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.

*Glances back at Anna*

Don't worry about it, just thinking out loud.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

I don't know who Silente is...
*panics when Blake pins her*
Angel what are you doing?!

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*looks at El*
Annabelle Stark.

Elleni the Ghost said...

Annabelle...
Alright, it might get a little dangerous here. Wanna go to my house for a little bit? I swear, I am not going to kidnap you.

John said...

*His body becomes encased in a powerful glow in response to the shadows*

Yeah I probably could. But it would be so much faster if you would just tell me.

*His eyes begin to glow. A slight rim of black, barely noticeable, forms around the edges of them*

After all, we're all good friends here. Right?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Yeah and as I am totally friends with Detective Pleasant. Look, you're a big boy, figure it out.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Er...I don't know you..
*steps slightly away from el and towards Blake*

Elleni the Ghost said...

*holds her hands gently*
I'm friends with your angel. You'll get hurt if you stay here.

John said...

A big boy who's going to make himself wanted all across America in a moment if you don't spit it out.

*His hands tighten around her neck, cutting out all but the smallest amount of air*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Oh er...o k-kay..

Elleni the Ghost said...

*smiles kindly*
You'll be fine.
*leads her to her house*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

What has Zafira done now?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: I....don't.....know......I.....swear!!! *something in her eyes shows her speaking the truth*

Ravel: Let her go, Zafira does not know the answer. She replicated something she saw.

John said...

Rewritten Silente's memories. She believes herself to be some innocent little girl called Annabelle Starrk. No idea who we are or what Bogland is. She even thinks I'm her guardian angel.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*follows El*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(She shouldn't have replicated it)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((Oh god...well...I rewrote Silente's personality! Hi, Alastair, by the way. I assume I made it onto your hit list now?-Zaf

Elleni the Ghost said...

*opens the door for Annabelle and shuts it behind them*
Make yourself at home, Annabelle. I know this is all crazy, and we're really sorry. Everything will be... back to normal soon.
*smiles*
Are you hungry or anything?

John said...

*The black around his eyes works its way further in*

Then you're useless.

*His grip tightens and locks*

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Erm..thank you?
*stands uncertainly*
No I'm not hungry thank you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: Stop!!!....please...

*fires the sceptre at Blake* She can still be useful, Blake. She's able to replicate magic, she can be useful if we use her to our advantage.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Of course, Zafira.))

*stiffens slightly* Rewrote her how?

Elleni the Ghost said...

(My new kill list:
1. Zafira
2. Zafira
3. Zafira
4. James and Erica (MAYBE))

Elleni the Ghost said...

*nods*
*doesn't like small talk*
*gestures to the couch*
You can sit down.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Argeddion, remember him? They made him think he's a mortal man? That's what Zafira did, but to Silente.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Zafira isn't useful to anyone, Loki. Then again, you're just as illogical as she is, so I suppose you wouldn't have noticed.

John said...

*He stumbles back from the shot, rage in his eyes*

Then make her turn it back! If she did it then she can und-

*His eyes suddenly widen, growing entirely black, and darkness begins to spew from them as well as his mouth. He falls over backwards and writhes on the ground for a minuet before calming down and sitting up, looking more or less normal again*

... Sorry. Michal's curse.

*He stands and looks at Zaf*

Still, if you did it once you should be able to do it again.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*perches on the edge of the couch*
...do you know who Silent Tempest is?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

She is, if you force her to do what you want, Alastair. She knows her true name, as do you. She was lying to Blake, she knows exactly how to reverse that rewriting, but she will not give it up.

((Loki is truthful,Zaf lied to Blake. Ok. There. -Zaf

Elleni the Ghost said...

*hesitates*
*nods*
Yes... She was a friend of ours.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: *coughs, shadow-walking away from the tree* Fools, you want me to help? Find me. You will never find me, and you will never force me to do a damn thing, and especially to bring Silente back.

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*considers* I might be able to reverse that. *vanishes, appearing in Elleni's house* Would anyone mind if I attempt to get rid of Annabelle?

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

Was?

Elleni the Ghost said...

Is.
*stands up*
GET OUT.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Or that....*considers* Alastair, shall we keep Zafira alive for you or anyone wishing to inflict pain upon her? I do hope that worked, Midgardian magic is not my specialty.

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello.

Jai (Silente Tempest - St Of Sinners) said...

*jumps, looking at Alastair and darting behind el*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

((AMEH!!!-Zaf

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Hi Amy!)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello! What's happening around here?

John said...

I'll go find her...

*With a powerful flap of his wing he take off into the air, high above the tree line, and his eyes glow as they search for the grand mage*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Sil got rewritten -_- Blake is trying to find Zaf, who was the one to rewrite her and Alastair's trying to get rid of Annabelle for some reason)

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((Don't read if you fear blood))

Tia's Guardian Angel

*lowers her head into her hands in thought of Sil*

*hears movement behind her*

*turns around to see Silente*

Anna? Where's Blake?

/Who's Anna?

Silente?

/Well, yeah, that's me!

*runs towards Silente to pull her into a hug*

*sees Silente's face again, in a process of morphing*

*stops running*

No. You can't, no, this can't- you can't be here!

/I'm sorry, Tia, if I ever gave you the impression that you wield any power here.

*brings out a knife from seemingly nowhere*

/*smiles* Now why don't you put that knife to good use, Tia?

Please, Tanya, don't make me do this. Just.. leave me alone.

/*looks coldly at Tia* I have no time for games. I will kill someone close to you unless-

*brings up the knife and slices the right side of her own neck*

*looks at the blood on the knife*

Why, Tanya?

/*grabs the knife before Tia can react and licks the blood off it*

/Why what, Tia? Why do I feed on your blood in order to stay alive and protect us both? Or why am I a broken savage who you you refuse to call your sister?

I...

/I love you, Tia. I will do anything to ensure you survive. Trust me on that. But don't think for a second that you have a say in the way I'll protect you.

/turns to dust using Tia's leeched time powers.

*collapses, clutching her neck*

(I fear the day I will actually need protection, for Tanya will have no mercy, no forgiveness to anyone who wrongs us)

((Originally I planned to have Tanya to-

It'll come later))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Well, you did want Silente back, did you not?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((Hi, Amethyst, oh and sorry for being a sick and twisted person))

John said...

(I'm going to by a stereotypical Blake right now and say I really want to fight this Tanya.)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Zafira: *takes Ravel and her two youngest anf goes underground*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(@Tia: O.o who's Tanya?)

Amethyst Temerity said...

It's okay, Tia! I've seen/read/heard a lot worse!

Elleni the Ghost said...

Define "get rid of," Alastair.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

A hello to Alastair!

((Typing on a phone is horrible ))

Alastair Cruciatus said...

I hadn't assumed they could both exist at once. I'm still not certain exactly what Zafira's done, however, so unless I began to look around inside her mind for it, I've no idea what would happen to Annabelle.

Elleni the Ghost said...

So you want to look into her mind?

Amethyst Temerity said...

*strolls around Blogland, humming*

Alastair Cruciatus said...

((Msd))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((@Blake And you want to fight Tia's twin sister (who just so happens to be a vampire) because...?))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(@Amethyst I have only returned to Blogland three days ago, I cannot tell you what is happening apart from Silente being rewritten)

Amethyst Temerity said...

*walks toward a park and starts picking flowers*

John said...

(Because Blake like fighting. Especially strong people.)

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Nyeeeeh XP)

Amethyst Temerity said...

*takes the bouquet and walks around hoping to bump into other people*

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

(But Tanya isn't strong, I can't stand the thought of losing my sister)

Elleni the Ghost said...

El2: *skips up to Amy*
Hello!

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Yes, I intend to look into her mind to see exactly what's been done, and then how to reverse it.

Amethyst Temerity said...

Elleni! *hugs her*
*holds out flowers* Here!

Elleni the Ghost said...

Annabelle, do you mind... if he does that?

(I guess we'll have to pause)

Elleni the Ghost said...

El2: Aww! Thank you! ^-^
*takes the flower*
*gives Amy chocolate*

Elleni the Ghost said...

(Seems like everyone left. Does anyone want to draw with me?)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Oh! Chocolate!
*takes the chocolate* Thank you! :D

John said...

(I'm still kinda here)

Elleni the Ghost said...

Blake, Amy, wanna do something cool with me?

Amethyst Temerity said...

Sure!

John said...

(Sure <->)

Elleni the Ghost said...

Follow this link. Anyone else who wants to join can join as well.

Elleni the Ghost said...

Guys?

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

I ded this to my best friend. She has to put up with so much shit every day and I was her safe haven of sorts. But one day I did something, something that I call betrayal. I didn't expect her to forgive me, yet forgive me she did. I'll always be there for her, so this one's dedicated to her.

((Rose... reminds me of her. Why do people seek to make the lives of others a misery? Some people deserve better)

((I must go to sleep now, take care!))

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

((I don't have Flash on phone))

Jophiel said...

(I've returned)

Amethyst Temerity said...

Hello Death!

Jophiel said...

(Hey Ameh!!

I'm so confused with all this...)

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hello.

Tanya Halcyon (Kas) said...

Hey, Death and Loki.

((Not asleep just yet, why don't I use sleeping pills?))

Jophiel said...

Hey Loki.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Apaologizes, comments are iffy.

Jophiel said...

It's okay, Loki.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

How are you love?

Jophiel said...

I'm very well, thank you. How are you?

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I am too...

Jophiel said...

*She cuddled him tightly*

I'm... I'm sorry about before...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

It is fine.

Jophiel said...

No, it's not...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Rose, breath. Sigh. You are fine, love.

Jophiel said...

No. It's not fine... I'm sorry...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Keep apologizing and I'll call you the Apologizing Queen. *smirks*

Jophiel said...

*She punched him in the arm*

I hate you.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I know. *laughs*

Jophiel said...

Then why are you laughing...?

*She punched him again, harder*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I know not why.

((My author insists I let her sleep. She has drama until 5pm tomorrow. Good night, I shall see you when I wake.))

Jophiel said...

(Goodnight, Loki.)

Snow said...

THANK

BUT

EEEEEEEEK

dtrhfyjghklsfdz

Elleni the Ghost said...

^-^
You'll do fine

Snow said...

hmmm

i hope

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Goodnight Snow.

GAH

My abs are dead
And my back
And my hamstrings

I'm gonna be so sore tomorrow...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

*Good luck

My brain is dead too, apparently.

Snow said...

*huggles fab and el* thanks

:| that is really not fun fab.
i tend to be like that on wednesday and thursday afternoons lately because those are the days i have PE

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*is here*

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Who here has heard the song Until The End" by Quietdrive?
Skulduggery Pleasant...
Until the end...
*sobs*
(Has nothing to do with what happens in TDOTL because she hasn't read it and doesn't know any spoilers! :))

Elleni the Ghost said...

:O
OMG

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Apparently chooga is a word in my personal dictionary. Why did I use it and what does it mean?
Right now on the mysteries of Dugglyn's brain.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Did you listen to it?
*is still sobbing*

Elleni the Ghost said...

http://flockdraw.com/5xdfqw
Go here.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Already tired but I don't have Adobe flash.... D:

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I have a grudge against PE.

Not that I've had to take it in years. Dance counts as my PE credit. :-)

But yeah, it was pretty brutal today. We had an hour Pilates with plenty of abs/back/hamstrings work, and then Ms. A decided to do a killer warm-up in jazz.

If anyone in either class isn't sore tomorrow, they weren't doing it right.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Also, hi.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Awww......
Sounds painful!!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hi!!!

Jophiel said...

Hi!!!

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Deathy! :D
How's life?!
\huggles*
*pulls Fabi and Elleni (if she's still here) into a group huggle*
*because.*

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Well, yeah.

There were good moments too, though. I should focus on those more often.

Hi Rose, Dugglyn, Elleni and maybe Snow!

How are you all?

Jophiel said...

Sleepy...

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[sprinkles Deathy with magic get more sleep dust]

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm good. Not sure what I feel about TDOTL being here on Wednesday. (Or at least supposed to....) not too tired though I should sheep (btw, I loved the sheep role play!!)
And a bit.. hmm. Idk.. listening to Until The End by Quietdrive and it's getting mixed feelings. Great song, I love it but reminds me of Skulduggery and Valkyrie and makes me kinda sad..

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

*is good at getting enough sheep*
*gives a container filled with odd liquid to Deathy*
*it should taste like blueberries*
[It's her blood! "." She has blue blood that tastes good!]

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I wish I could hover over your shoulder while you're reading it and laugh and/or cry with you at the bits that are funny and/or sad.

...

That sounds kinda creepy.

(Thanks! So did I. It's always fun roleplaying animals.)

I'll look it up when I have my headphones again... I'm not sure where they are just now.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Eh, I understand! I even got the signed shadow edition.... :D
$34 though....

(my love)
I won't forget you my love
my love.....

To the end of the world down and back
Until the end of time
No one can stop me if they tried

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Phrase that was a bit odd....
