The Button

This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.

And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...



And it has now been taken down... only to reappear in the Skulduggery Pleasant Collection of short stories and novellas, available... um... some time in the spring of 2014...

Noelle said...

Maralie Lily Charm said...

NOOOoooooOOOOOO

Never read After by imaginator1d

It slowly tears your soul apart, bit by bit, leaving you moaning and crying in pain and with the feels. You try to escape, but once you enter the After fanbase, there is no coming out.

Noelle said...

((Damn, he's gone))

*hits the guy as well*

Noelle said...

I don't think I would, Mara?

Noelle said...

Damn, everyone's gone. *sits with her tea*

Emerald Melody said...

*Lorcan prods the silver covered wounds on his chest and back. They burn his finger tips. He can see the silver crawling through his veins now and then under his skin.

He suddenly leans over the sink as he can feel the blood ooze from his mouth by itself, no pressure or forcing needed. What the hell is happening to him?*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Star Inkbright said...

Well, my friend's fourteen. I'm fifteen . . .

@Lantern: :(

@Snow: In real life, dead bodies are not cool. At all. Because . . . People are DEAD. People with lives who had people who loved them. Family, friends. Hopes, dreams, love . . . gone.
But I get what you mean. :)

@Mara: Fireworks on Halloween? BUT IT'S FUCKING BONFIRE NIGHT IN LESS THAN A WEEK!

Remember remember the fifth of November gunpowder treason and plot! :)

(It's this day we have where we all have fireworks and bonfires and stuff to remember when these people tried to blow up the houses of parliment. At where we used to live, we used to have really good professional one-of-the-best-in-the-country displays at the park. Here, we do what normal people do and go to a display at a local farm. Fun times).

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

Okay weird thing: I was thinking of Alastair and I never realized how in a way he deserved some credit, yes he was sadistic and all but he actually had to have some knowledge to use his magic the disease thing. I mean he must have had to because he needed to infect people somehow and create the virus. Like I hate to say it but in reality Alastair is pretty damn smart, granted he could have used the knowledge in a better war but still. I give him credit not many would have done that in his era either I mean they weren't the modern world of medicine when Niccolò was born thats for sure and even when I was born but like I guess my rant is saying I give Alastair a bit more credit for creating that discipline.

Noelle said...

Sorry Snow!

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

Sharky! Hi!

*laughs* Shark oooh

Sir said...

Greetings, Ms. Adrasdos, Snow, and Zafira. I am unsure if Ms. Rose is still here, but I shall list her as well.

Noelle said...

*cuddles Sir* how are you?

Snow said...

wbd, msd

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

Oh Sharky *hits with theasurus* I'm now hitting you and Niccolò with one, well whichever one of you goes on first an he is dead so you're it

Noelle said...

Alright Snow!

Sir said...

Er, Ms. Adrasdos, I would recommend letting go posthaste, considering the texture of shark skin...

Ms. Zafira, I am unsure why you would do such a thing, and I sincerely hope you have a suitable reason to do so.

Snow said...

*pokes sir* whats up?

Noelle said...

ARGH

WAIT

SHIT

I FORGOT IM MAD AT YOU. *steps on his flipper and stalks off*

Snow said...

*laughs* you forgot you were mad at him? how i that even possible??

*pokes sir again*

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

I don't Sharky....maybe because I have no fun in my life since Niccolò died...*closes eyes*

Javier: Zaf. *has her hand* Sorry Sharky, Zaf's a tad emotional

Noelle said...

It is, believe it or not, possible

Snow said...

*nods*

*pokes sir again* you know, this is quite fun.

Sir said...

... Ah. Poor woman. Well, Ms. Zafira, you have my sympathies.

Ms. Adrasdos, that was terribly rude. Would you remind me of my offense, so that I may rectify it, posthaste?

Snow said...

*pokes sir 20 times in a row* are you ignoring me?

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

I don't need sympathy I want Niccolò back even if I need to give up my own soul...

Sir said...

No, Ms. Snow. But I would rather address the issue of Ms. Adrasdos's anger before that of my own personal comforts. I apologize if I have slighted you.

Noelle said...

That needn't be necessary, Sir.

Snow said...

*shrugs and pokes again* whatever. and please, drop the "Ms"... it is really disconcerting...

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

[Deposits a gift box in front of each Bloglandian present]

Noelle said...

*examines the present* Er... Thank you?

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

Thanka! Hmm msd i feel sleepy

Snow said...

*looks at box* *pokes box* *thinks about licking the box* *decides against it*

Sir said...

Ms. Adrasdos, I IMPLORE you. I respect you, and do not wish for you to bother yourself with trapped angers.

Ms. Snow, I apologize, but I cannot.

Ms. Zafira, I would recommend letting Mr. Croatoan enjoy his rest. He has earned it.

Snow said...

(( XD i love how all of you thanked her and i thought about licking it...))

Snow said...

*glares* if you have to, call me detective snow. but drop the Ms

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

He's in Hell he sure cant enjoy it and thats as far as I'm aware but for sure in Hell. *buries head in snow falling asleep

Snow said...

(( i take it you mean snow the thing not, me... i hope))

Sir said...

Very well, detective Snow.

... What in the name of the stars are these crates...

Noelle said...

(Bye Zaf)

*ignores Sir, feeling her anger build up again from the other day*

Sir said...

Ms. Adrasdos. If you shall not tell me why you are angry, could you at least express your emotions in a more healthy way?

Jophiel said...

Comments are gonna run out soon.

Jophiel said...

Masking tape cut me... Ow...

Snow said...
