I want to say a big thankyou to the lovely Evangeline who posted the earlier chapters for me :)

11: 23 am Tanith Low So it appears we still have to decide what we're doing on Christmas Day.

11: 25 am Valkyrie Cain: Like I said last time, I'm spending Christmas with my parents and Alice, but I can maybe catch half an hour with you :)

11: 27 am Skulduggery Pleasant: Since my girlfriend is effectively abandoning me on the 25th, I am completely free.

11: 28 am Grouchly Bespoke: And we all know the state of my kitchen (yes, I'm looking at you Skulduggery Pleasant and Leo DiCaprio)so there isn't any chance I can cook dinner.

11: 29 am Fletcher Renn: And I really want to get out of my hotel on Christmas...there's this concierge at the front door that I think has a bit of a thing for me :/

11: 31 am Tanith Low: Well, how about you all come round to mine?

11: 32 am Antceratops Shudder: Yeah, I'll come. But I can only arrive after 12 because of the Hotel, so basically I won't be able to help cook the dinner.

11: 33 am Tanith Low: Nice try, but we're having Christmas Dinner at four. I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to peel potatoes.

11: 33 am Antceratops Shudder: *sigh*

11: 35 am Amara Calla: I think everyone else can make it, though.

11: 36 am Tanith Low: OK, that's twelve people. I think we can manage that.

11: 38 am Antceratops Shudder: Sure we can ;) Twelve people really isn't that much for an orgy.

11: 39 am Tanith Low: NO ORGIES, ANTON. OK? NO ORGIES.

11: 42 am Antceratops Shudder: Foiled yet again -.-

11: 46 am China Sorrows: You should know I do expect you to assist in setting up my own Christmas soiree.

11: 47 am Dexter Vex: And when did we discuss this?

11: 50 am China Sorrows: We didn't. I attended Low's Christmas party last year so it is only fair you return the favour.

11: 52 am China Sorrows: Though you're still not invited.

11: 55 am Erskine Ravel: We gathered that.


12: 03 pm Skulduggery Pleasant posted on Valkyrie Cain's Wall

Why are you still on SkulBook? We have the interview with Salvent in twenty minutes.

12: 05 pm Valkyrie Cain: The new SkeleVille app is addicting. :L

12: 08 pm Grouchly Bespoke: What case are you working on now?

12: 11 pm Skulduggery Pleasant: In the absense of any Advent chocolates being stolen, Fletcher has opted to set us on the case of the man that has been taking the Christmas lights from his hotel balcony.

12: 13 pm Fletcher Renn: It's not Daniel Salvent that's stealing my lights! It's Santa, I keep telling you -.-

12: 15 pm Grouchly Bespoke: I honestly don't know if he plays it for laughs or if he's genuinely that stupid.

12: 17 pm Valkyrie Cain: Fletch, it's not Santa that's been stealing you. It's a kleptomaniac dwarf with a fondness for bright colours.

12: 18 pm Fletcher Renn: It's Santa.

Fletcher Renn has logged off

12: 20 pm Grouchly Bespoke: I don't think our idea of dressing Leo up as Santa last Christmas and throwing him down the hotel chimney to tell Fletcher 'he had been a very good boy this year' was a smart one.

12: 21 pm Skulduggery Pleasant: Bloody hilarious, though.

12: 24 pm Grouchly Bespoke: He looked like a middle aged gherkin :')

12: 26 pm Leo DiCaprio: ...

12: 26 pm Grouchly Bespoke: And I mean that in the best possible way.


12: 43 pm Fletcher Renn has decided to forgive Valkyrie Cain and Skulduggery Pleasant for their harsh words, so I'm now re-listening to my Christmas playlist to get into the festive mood :)

12: 48 pm Erskine Ravel: Any song is better than 'Gingerbread Rock' :L

12: 50 pm Fletcher Renn: Actually, I'm listening to another song, guess it...'He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake'

12: 52 pm Dexter Vex: Sounds like Anton.

12: 53 pm Antceratops Shudder: Hey!

12: 53 pm Tariana Ravelicious Grace: Sounds like it was written FOR Anton.

12: 55 pm Erskine Ravel: Considering the amount he's gotten around this past century, I wouldn't be surprised.

12: 56 pm Antceratops Shudder: That song doesn't describe me at all! All it does is prove that Santa is a paedophile that watches you sleep!

12: 56 pm Erskine Ravel: Santa sounds suspiciously like Anton. Were you using an alias?

12: 57 pm Antceratops Shudder: Well at least I don't have to work with Madam Mist :/

12: 57 pm Erskine Ravel: What are you getting at?

1: 00 pm Antceratops Shudder: Well, you know, she can be a clingy woman.

1: 00 pm Antceratops Shudder: Possesive.

1: 01 pm Antceratops Shudder: Temperamental.

1: 01 pm Antceratops Shudder: And you're quite an attractive guy.

1: 02 pm Antceratops Shudder: Not that I find you attractive.

1: 02 pm Antceratops Shudder: Or unnatractive. I am just a happily straight guy that can appreciate chiselled features, being a man of chiselled features myself.

1: 04 pm Antceratops Shudder: What I am TRYING to say is that I suspect Madam Mist has a fondness for you.

1: 04 pm Antceratops Shudder: A crush.

1: 04 pm Antceratops Shudder: A secret passion.

1: 05 pm Antceratops Shudder: A burning, fiery love that consumes all she is with the power of a thousand flaming stars.

1: 05 pm Antceratops Shudder: You are her sweet Raveo.

1: 05 pm Antceratops Shudder: Will these starcrossed lovers ever find their happy end? ...Probably not, because she looks like a particularly craggy Himalaya.

1: 07 pm Antceratops Shudder: 'Tis the season to BE HORNY, fa la la la, la la la la.

1: 10 pm Erskine Ravel: Are you quite done?

1: 11 pm Antceratops Shudder: MISTSKINE: A Doomed Love, coming soon to a cinema near you.

1: 13 pm Antceratops Shudder: OK, now I'm done.

1: 15 pm Erskine Ravel: It's times like this when I'm almost convinced you hate me -.-

1: 18 pm Antceratops Shudder: I could never hate you, Erskine ;) I love you like I love the Hotel! I love you like I love pie!

1: 20 pm Erskine Ravel: You hate pie.

1: 22 pm Antceratops Shudder: I've learnt to let it back into my heart.

1: 25 pm Erskine Ravel: ...

3: 56 pm Antceratops Shudder: About three things I was absolutely postitve. One, Mist was a spider. Two, there was a part of her - and I didn't know how dominant that part may be - that thirsted for my anti-aging cream. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her.

3: 58 pm Erskine Ravel: AARRRGGHHHHH
