This is definitely not my favourite chapter, but I edited it as much as I could :L Feedback is always appreciated, even it is just telling me how much this chapter fails. And you'd be right.

Please forgive me the numerous typos and mistakes in punctuation - I'm just trying to stay true to what a boisterous group of Dead Men, Leonardo and Fletcher would type like while drunk.


10: 13 am Erskine Ravel I had to race someone to the waffle maker at the Sanctuary's breakfast. #hungergames

10: 24 am Erskine Ravel: You snooze, you lose.

10: 26 am Tanith Low: We should TOTALLY hold our own Hunger Games!

10: 28 am Fletcher Renn: Great, I'll order twenty rounds of chicken supreme buckets from KFC right now.

10: 29 am Tanith Low: No, like the book Hunger Games! Without the bloody, vicious killing, that is. We can just all rough each other up a bit.

10: 32 am Thurid Guild: Do any of you actually do any work at all? All you seem to do is flirt, pretend to have homosexual relations, stalk one another and and clutter my news feed.

10: 36 am Antceratops Paedo King Shudder: I'm up for this Hunger Games thing ;)

10: 40 am Tanith Low: Anton, you wouldn't last a day in the arena :L

10: 42 am Fletcher Renn: It's pretty obvious I would win anyway

10: 56 am Antceratops Paedo King Shudder: No. I would win because I'd fuck my way out of there.

11: 01 am Erskine Ravel: The sad thing is he's probably right.


3: 38 pm Erskine Ravel In lieu of our version of the Hunger Games, I've decided to throw a Boiiiishh night out. A few of us just held a practice Games behind the Sanctuary and Anton's muttering of 'man oh man I'm going to fuck erryone up' convinced me he's enough of a danger to society without giving him permission to attack people.

3: 42 pm Tanith Low: You held it without me?!

3: 47 pm Erskine Ravel: Well, Ghastly and I needed a reason to get out of a deathly boring meeting.

3: 49 pm Dexter Vex: I thought it would be a good chance to brush up on my fight training.

3: 52 pm Fletcher Renn: Erskine told me it would be a chance for me to practice my combat skills.

3: 50 pm Antceratops Paedo King Shudder: Uh, I was bored.

3: 53 pm Tanith Low: Hmm.

3: 54 pm Erskine Ravel: But for the first time we've done the responsible thing and decided it would be a supremely bad idea to hold a Hunger Games. I think the responsibility of being Elders has rubbed off on us!

3: 57 pm Tanith Low: And your newfound responsility has led to you plan a likely drink-fuelled night out?

3: 57 pm Erskine Ravel: Baby steps, Tanith. Baby steps.


8: 26 pm Dexter Vex So I had this guy by the throat, against a wall

8: 30 pm Antceratops Paedo King Shudder: DEXTER'S WRITING GAY PORN.

8: 31 pm Dexter Vex: Shut up! I pressed the enter key by mistake

8: 34 pm Dexter Vex: So I saw a mage I knew Erskine put an arrest warrant out for and I chased him for half an hour until I managed to pin him to the wall. I was just about to cuff him when I remembered what Fletcher said during our practice Hunger Games and started laughing so hard he escaped. Oops.

8: 38 pm Skulduggery Pleasant: This is why you leave the detective work to Valkyrie and I, Dexter. What did Fletcher say?

8: 43 pm Dexter Vex: Well, when we started the practice Games thing, Erskine pointed to Fletcher, yelled 'GET HIM!' and charged towards where he was standing, but Fletcher headbutted him in the face and said 'Not today whore'


8: 45 pm Dexter Vex has created the page '"Not today whore" - Fletcher Renn'

Leo DiCaprio, Finbar Wrong, Dexter Vex and thirty-eight others like the page '"Not today whore" - Fletcher Renn'

9: 19 pm Fletcher Renn: No one's ever created a facebook page for me before! :D

9: 22 pm Skulduggery Pleasant: That's not actually true - there's a page insulting your hairgel. And a Fletcher Renn Hate Group that nobody can ever claim I created.

9: 24 pm Fletcher Renn: :(

Pretty good playlist, Dexter...but remember when you used to always put the Macarena on your playlists? And that one time you actually included Party In the USA by that Cyrus girl?

Hey! She is a GODDESS.

Believe me, I've been to some of the same parties as her...and you would not believe the tales I have. There's this one that involves her, a cup and a Jonas Brother...but no. I'll have to have a few drinks inside me before I ever share THAT story.

7: 03 pm PM message: Leo DiCaprio to Erskine Ravel, Antceratops Paedo King Shudder, Fletcher Renn, Dexter VEX, Skulduggery Pleasant and Ghastly Bespoke

On a side note, Dexter, why is your surname now a lot more VEX-ish?

7: 05 pm PM message: Dexter VEX to Erskine Ravel, Leo DiCaprio, Antceratops Paedo King Shudder, Fletcher Renn, Skulduggery Pleasant and Ghastly Bespoke

Dramatic impact mostly, but I've changed it in anticipation of drunk me logging onto facebook later tonight. I'm hoping that that Mr. Hyde side of my personality will remember in some part of his brain that I'd altered my name on here and thus won't change it to something like Dexboi Vex-McLovin'.

7: 08 pm PM message: Erskine Ravel to Leo DiCaprio, Antceratops Paedo King Shudder, Fletcher Renn, Dexter VEX, Skulduggery Pleasant and Ghastly Bespoke

In all fairness, Dexboi McLovin' was the most hilarious alter ego I've ever seen - and my best friend literally has an evil demon version of himself living inside his body.

7: 09 pm PM message: Dexter VEX to Erskine Ravel, Leo DiCaprio, Antceratops Paedo King Shudder, Fletcher Renn, Skulduggery Pleasant and Ghastly Bespoke

NO. There will be none of Dexboi tonight. At least...I hope not.

Well, Anton's just texted me saying he's picked up four cans of neon body paint. Consider yourselves forewarned.

As Kesha once said, the party don't start till I walk in.


7: 34 pm Tanith Low posted on Valkyrie Cain's Wall

Ghastly just left for the Boiiiish night. Want to come over? I have wine and the Lumineers' Ho Hey playing on itunes.

7: 36 pm Valkyrie Cain: Sounds good. I've got to the point where I don't even bat an eyelash when one of the guys walks into my bedroom covered in blood and feathers after a night out any more.

7:37 pm Tanith Low: Or when I get a call saying one of them's been found in a ditch ten miles away after their night of heavy parting.

7: 37 pm Valkyrie Cain: Or when Erskine starts rubbing himself against my leg meowing like a cat.

7: 39 Tanith Low: Or when I go to my kitchen the next morning and find out they've eaten all the chocolate wrappers in the sweets tin. Like, they unwrapped all the little chocolates and left them in the box, just ate the wrappings they were in.

7: 41 pm Valkyrie Cain: Or when I walk in them sitting in a circle in a darkened room, Anton holding a Satanic Bible, halfway through a pagan ritual.

7: 43 pm Tanith Low: That actually happened to you?

7: 44 pm Valkyrie Cain: Sadly, yes.

7: 44 pm Tanith Low: We need to find new friends.

7: 45 pm Valkyrie Cain: We really do. :/

8: 38 pm Valkyrie Cain: Be nice, Fletcher.

8: 40 pm Fletcher Renn: Val, face it: I'm a rascal.

8: 44 pm Dexter VEX: Do you know what I've just realised? There should be a relationship status for 'In a Skul Crew with'

8: 45 pm Fletcher Renn: oh my goD YES

8: 47 pm Fletcher Renn: Can this be a thing or

8: 50 pm Dexter VEX: I would answer you but I'm kind of preoccupied with what the hell Erskine, Anton and Leo are doing

8: 51 pm Dexter VEX: It's literally a threesome on the dancefloor...for no reason

8: 54 pm Dexter VEX: How much alcohol have they TAKEN?

8: 56 pm Skulduggery Pleasant: This is just a rough estimate, but I think they're consuming vodka at a ratio of 3:1 compared to us.

8: 59 pm Antceratops Paedo King Shudder: Bazinga.

9: 02 pm Dexter VEX: Oh don't start. You were just two steps away from dry humping your best friend and one of the most prolific actors in the world.

9: 22 pm Dexter VEX Just been checking out the Pittly Effect and it's so legit

9: 22 pm Tanith Low: The Pittly Effect?

9: 23 pm Dexter VEX: As in, you put a picture of Ghastly next to a picture of Pitbull and there's no difference at all

9: 25 pm Ghastly Bespoke: I don't look like Pitbull! Besides he's an awful rapper. And sexist at that. And wears AWFUL shoes. Awful.

9: 26 pm Dexter VEX: Don't be so hard on yourself. We like you, no matter how awful your music/footwear/attitude to women is.
