It's beautiful. Majestic, even. A terrible catastrophe, played by a symphony. What a terrifying work of art.

I can't sit idly, no I can't move at all.
I curse the name, the one behind it all:
DARQUESSE.

Noelle said...

Dragona Pine said...

(You'd think she'd have better things to do with her time than destroy some books.)

Maddy said...

holy crabs she's terrifying

Maddy said...

well, seeing as we're all screwed, would anybody like a cookie? *hands out plate of cookies*

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

Zafira is now whimpering, now she is crying, now she is going to go cry in the shower.

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

(Me: Oh. My. God. It's beautiful magnificent extraordinary fabulous.
My Brain: And the walls, kept tumbling down, in the hands of a girl called Darquesse. Great clouds came over the hill,I she brought darkness from above...)

Unknown said...

It's so beautiful..

Dragona Pine said...

(How is everyone?)

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

(Soz my brain is both stunned and trying to make a parody despite not knowing the words to the original song..)

Inconvenience said...

This is incredible!!

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*waves at Inconvenience* You're not inconvenientcalamity from Tumblr, are you?

Mary Contrary said...

Holy moley.
Lovely work, Tom.
As always.
Like, not thinking about what it could mean because I'm too far behind, but it looks COOL.
O_O

(Not here, probably, because technological dysfunction. But I hope everyone is well, and happiness at least, anyway. :))

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hi Taia!

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

*explodes* -Zaf

Unknown said...

Sorry, busy staring at it.

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Raisin! How are you?)

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

8 DAYS I CANNOT WAIT OH MY GOD ITS SO BEAUTIFUL THIS BOOK IS GOING TO DESTROY US ALL I LOVE IT!
*worships the book*

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

*runs around in circles because I won't be able to read it the day it comes out*

Book Crazy said...

Brilliant cover!!!!
Only 8 Days!!!! :"(

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

*worships the book*
I can't wait!!! I want it!!! I want to be broken!!!

(SHUT UP DIRTY MINDED PEOPLE NOT LIKE THAT!!!)

Dragona Pine said...

(Silente... how is that dirty? :S)

Unknown said...

Seriously excited but also really sad it'll all be over soon :(

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Storm, THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID))

Dragona Pine said...

(I don't understand...)

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

(I have a bad mind Draggie it turns almost anything bad.)

Dragona Pine said...

(But you were talking about a book?)

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

(out of context Draggie)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((Dragona, suuuuure she was))

Dragona Pine said...

(I still don't understand... How was that dirty?)

Mary Contrary said...

Hey Kes! Hi Dragona!
I'm good, thanks. :)

8 days?? O_O
But I still don't have KOTW, let alone LSODM. I'm not READY. :P

*pauses*
*laughs manically*
I can watch you all suffer and fall apart in novel-related destruction.
And I can LAUGH at your pain.
In a safe, torture-free bubble.
I can LAUGH. :P


Wbd/msd - technology

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Taia, I'm not sure whether to feel bad for you or be jealous :P

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

@Taia YES! YOU CAN LAUGH AS WE CRY FROM THE DESTRUCTION REAPED UPON US BY THE FINAL BOOK!

I can't wait. I love the feeling of impending doom.

Mary Contrary said...

@Kes: *laughs* Well, on a lower note, I'll have to watch you all suffer and then know I have three books of it to come, still. :P

Dragona Pine said...

(I'm horribly unemotional so I will probably go, "That was good" when I finish the book. :P)

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

((YOU KNOW WHAT DRAGONA
DON'T RUB IT IN))

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

I'll probably blubber like a baby. After, you know, staring at a wall for ages in shock.

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

At three o'clock in a morning.

Mary Contrary said...

@Silente: xD I'm glad. :P

@Dragona: *laughs* that's pretty much always been me, too. But recently, I think I've become sensitized emotionally, which is... Unhealthy, actually. When I can't stop reading a book because I'm too emotionally attached to the characters to leave them in danger/unhappiness, so I end up reading the entire novel, finishing at 6:30AM without any sleep, I think I'd rather be unemotional again. :P

Dragona Pine said...

(Raisin - random fact. The ending of Mass Effect 3 has the largest space battle ever shown across all mediums of media.)

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Holy Fudge Sticks.

Hello everyone!

Dragona Pine said...

(Raisin - lol. I've never been that emotional. :P I just think, "that was good" or "that was bad". :P)

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

Hello Cass.
*looks her up and down*
You've returned.

Dragona Pine said...

(Hey Cassidy! How are you?)

Mary Contrary said...

@Dragona: Cool. O_O Largest in what sense?

Cassidy! Hi! Good to see you. :)

Wbd-er/msd

Administrator Kestrel LeStarre-Sparrowhawk The Celestial said...

Hey Cassidy!

gtg, food :3

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

I have! It's been a while since I came here so I thought I might pop in.

I'm okay, Dragona. Thanks. How are you and everyone else?

Dragona Pine said...

(Raisin - Most ships involved. :P
It could POTENTIALLY be the largest in area, judging by the size of some of the Reapers and the range that they engaged them at. I'm not sure about that. But I know it has the most ships.)

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Hi and bye, Kestrel!

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Good to see you too, Taia!

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

Well its nice to sew ya again Cass. My arch nemesis!
*narrows eyes at her*

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

Thor: Zan?

Zanida: Make it stop! *wakes up freaking*

Thor: Shhh....*kisses cheek* Zan, I'm going to take you to Astrid, ok?

Zanida: *nods*

Thor: *picks her up, and carries her to the house*

Astrid: Worse?

*is holding a twin* I was flinching, and I always feel her emotions.

Mary Contrary said...

Bye Kes! Enjoy your food! :)

I'm good, thanks Cassidy. :)

*hugs Zaf* :)

(... need to research some things, so I'll be ever more distant)

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Oh..........
My........
It's.. it's..
Wow. Amazing job. It terrifies me!! I wonder if the shadow edition will have a shadow version of that on the back. I hope so. Cause I preordered it.

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

Hey Dug. What did you think of the blog?

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

*dies*-Zaf

Luciana said...

LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE THIS BACK COVER.

WHEN I FIRST SAW IT I SAID IT'S MY FAVOURITE YET BUT IT IS THE LAST ONE D;

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Very good Sil!! You're such a good writer!! Why didn't you open it up for everyone to see?!
And soy sauce for poofing. I was told I could stay in bed till 8 and then it was 8:03 and my dad told me I had to get up. I'm back now, though.

Mary Contrary said...

Hey, Dugglyn! :)
How're you? (And yer eyes? ;) )
I'd expect that it would. :) ^^


@Silente: Btw, do we have a date set for the BA results, yet? I'd check the BA Blog, but my phones won't take multiple pages without crashing, so it's easier to ask.:P ^^

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

*hugs angel*


Thanks Dug. I haven't opened it up permanently because its just random stuff. I mean, them two were both Sil but I'm currently writing one from Erica. Jamica. Or Erames.

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

Hehe.

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

Nooooo. I want to set a date but now Star is on holiday and I keep forgetting to ask Fabz and I don't want to just say a date without consulting them...

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I be good! Me eyes be's goods. Hop year chorg.
How be's yous eyes?! How be's yous?!

Luciana said...

Oh... Hi by the way:3


Sorry, I'm mega hyped from today! Been raising money for Oxfam:3

Dugglyn Carzainia said...

I'm very soy sauce but I just got a hold of an episode of Sherlock (which besides Skulduggery Pleasant is occupying my every thought) so now I'm gonna watch it. So I'll be back later. Pie!!

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

I forgot about them.-Zaf

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Sorry for disappearing...

We're arch nemisiseesesesesssss? Awww. I didn't know I meant that much to you, Silente.

Mary Contrary said...

Hey, Luce! *hugs*
Well, there'll be a different paperback version, usually, right? So it's not the last, yet?

@Silente: Alright. *hugs* Waiting won't do any harm, anyway. :)

My eyes are not uncomfortable, Dugg, and I'm pretty good too, thanks. :)

Mmkay, I've gotta go.
*hugs all* Bye! ^^

Luciana said...

It's the last hardback one though. The last for a new book. So it sort of is the last one. >_<

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

Well....not arch nemisisesesesesssss....but enemies we are!
*nods sternly*

Luciana said...

Bye Taia! *huggles*


Hey Sil. ^.^

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

(Hey Angel face. How are you?)

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Hahah, you love me really *winks*

Luciana said...

I'm good! How are you?:3

CASSIDYYYYYYYY
Hello! Again.

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Hiyur Luceeeeee, heheh.

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

*raises an eyebrow at her*
Did i mention your sanctuary isn't very friendly. And why do you have shackles attached to the walls of your cells?

(Im alright. Sore throat and annoying cough :/)

Luciana said...

Aw:( *huggles Sil* I'm sorry. Try having a cup of chai or green tea? ^_^

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

How is my Sanctuary not friendly? We're all lovely! And what can I say, we like security.

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

(..we have neither if those...I know! Ice cream!)

Luciana said...

Ice-cream is always good!:3

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

Security? Over security more like. Shackles hurt. Although I'd advice getting a room with smaller ones for small wrists.

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Hmmmm. I was thinking of getting rid of them anyway, less hassle, ya know? I'd rather just have people cuffed.

And we'll just add more security doors to ensure security..

Dragona Pine said...

(Sorry I poofed.)

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

Sure. You do that.
*smiles*
Call me when you do that.

Luciana said...

Hey, Dragona!

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

(hey Draggie)

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

Zaffy is happy she had coffee.-Zaf

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Hmmm, I'm thinking December 6th... *giggles* Save the date.

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

Heylo, Dragona. I done the same earlier.

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

Already done.
*smiles at her*
Actually I'm surprised. A prisoner got out and yet no one has come for them.

Okay.
*shrugs*

Cassidy Clarimonde (Self-Appointed Grand Mage of the Scottish Sanctuary) said...

That's a cool idea!


But, I do hope you'll be coming to our event. Chione was getting very excited.

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

I hope I'll be coming too. Money won't be much of a problem for it, timing for coaches might be hard. Permission might be hard too...

But I'm sure as hell gonna try. Even if I have to beg.

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

Yay! They finally listened! We've complained tbat this one road is horrible, pot holes and it just needs to be paved again, so they finally are paving it. I get to use the newly paved road when I drive :D *never drove newly paved road*
