All Derek's characters. Derek also replied to me on twitter and said that he MIGHT kill Dusk so this is all a Dusk chapter. With a bit of everyone else.

Dusk Valkyrie

Hi it's Dusk

What's up? How did you get my number? Is something wrong?

I'm flattered but nothing's wrong with me

Just a business thing

How did you get my number?

And what business thing?

About Sanctuary

HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?

Oh, what about it? Are you gonna blow it up?

No. This is kind of embarrassing since we're mortal enemies but we have this connection and all

HOW DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?!

Connection...okay...

Can I have a job there? Crime isn't working out for me

Lol.

Wait are you serious?

Ommmmmm

Have you taken to Buddhism?

What?

Meditation. Ommm

Oh, no, I'm just normal.

And Buddha's aren't?

Right. So. Job?

Job. Preferably one out in the field. I could be your lackey. Like in golf. Where they carry bags?

I thought they were called caddies? As in A Caddy.

I'm not sure. I don't play golf. Only mini golf on dates.

You go on dates?

Yes. I am a man. ;)

I know you're a man ;)

;D

MEANT TO PUT SMILEY FACE. I WAS NOT WINKING OR FLIRTING AT/WITH YOU

Course not, Valkyrie, but dat connection tho

Never say dat again

Sorry, Valkyrie.

I'll call you later about the job.

Thank you, darlin'

That was sanguine

Why are you hanging out?

We share a flat. Bachelor pad ;) 24/7 babe

Okay. That's something I didn't want to know. I'll call you later. I want to end this conversation.

Valkyrie Tanith

Your ex-fiancee shares a flat with Dusk. Prepare to be scared.

Oh gross. What if they GET ON IT

Get on it?

Get together s-e-x-u-a-l-l-y

Why are you spelling it out?

In case Skulduggery reads these and tells you off

He can spell, Tanith

And he won't tell me off. He knows what we talk about.

Dusk and Sanguine having sex?

EW GROSS

Sorry that was Violet. Her and Fletcher are very naïve and innocent.

Haha we're busted.

Dusk Erskine

Hello, my name is Dusk Vampire, and I have been referred to the Sanctuary for a job by Valkyrie Cain.

This is Grand Mage Erskine Ravel's mobile. I am his personal assistant, Liz Luck. Should I tell the Grand Mage of your message?

Yes please, Liz Luck.

Please wait one minute.

Hi, it's Erskine. Hey Dusk. So Val told me about the job you want

Yeah, anything in the field really.

We have several jobs open at the moment.

Cleaner.

Security guard.

Prison guard.

Cleaver.

Field agent.

Field agent?

Yeah, have you ever watched CSI or something like that? It's what they do. Val and Skul are still the main detectives but you handle the small cases.

Having a vampire on our pay roll and in our team will really show how bonded we are to the magical community as a whole.

That was very official.

I know, I'm so proud of myself.

I'm working on a speech and I'm rubbish at writing them.

Field agent sounds great! But I'm also good at writing speeches. I've been around a long time, Ravel, and I have experienced centuries of language and speech-writing. I used to be a vicar.

When I was alive

:(

I'll tell Ghastly and Mist then. Can you write my speech?

No problem, what's it about?

About how mages here at the Irish Sanctuary are connected to the other creatures of the magical community.

I'm saying it in-front of a huge audience, all our Sanctuary, some of the English Sanctuary and then it's being recorded for the Global Link.

No pressure then.

I'll start writing now then I'll e-mail it to you?

Sure! Email it to LizLuck .uk Thanks, Dusk! My new employee! Bye

Subject: Erskine's Speech

Mages, co-workers, friends, I am Erskine Ravel, Grand Mage of the Irish Sanctuary and ex-Dead Man. Although, I suppose I am still a Dead Man. Here, at our Sanctuary, we believe in equality. And equality comes hand in hand with other creatures, such as vampires, hags and Springheeled Jacks. We should accept these and other creatures into this community of mages, as we are all of magical descent.

(Document carries on for eight more pages that are too boring to write)

Dusk Erskine

Did you do well on the speech?

No. At first it was great and interesting with all the statistics and facts and stories then after three pages, it got boring.

What? It wasn't boring. It was awesome!

You rambled on about vampires for four pages. Then the remaining page you just asked weird "deep" questions

Why does the Earth spin? If it stopped, would we stop?

Does love at first sight really exist? I think it does.

The ladies did love that one.

See!

Stick to your field agent job.

Fine.
