News : An Interview With Skullduggery Pleasant

 

lets interview with my fav actor in skullduggery pleasant book, authored by Derek Landy..

here it is.. detective skullduggery pleasant answer. 🙂

• Being a skeleton. Please discuss!
  Ah yes, that whole skeleton thing. It really isn’t as bad as it sounds, you know. I never put on weight, for one thing. I never have a bad hair day, for another. It took a little getting used to, I’ll admit, and for the first few weeks I kept expecting my jaw to fall off, but I like to think that I’ve grown into a very well-adjusted skeleton. I’m happy with who I am, thank you very much.
• Has using magic ever got you into an embarrassing situation?
  Me? No. But I did witness an amusing event when an evil sorcerer, who shall remain nameless to spare his blushes, tried to evade me by turning invisible in a crowded market place. He really should have practiced that skill a little harder, however, because while his clothes became transparent, he himself did not. Needless to say, he surrendered himself immediately and asked for something to cover himself up. I gave him my hat. Waste of a good hat, if you ask me.
• What’s your best magic trick?
  Well, I’m an Elemental, which means I have some degree of influence over fire, water, air and earth, but I must admit I do have another trick or two up my sleeve. But my best one? Oh I’m afraid I can’t reveal that to you just yet, but rest assured… when I do, it will be SPECTACULAR. Probably.
• You have said that everyone has three names–please tell us more, including how you came up with the name Skulduggery Pleasant.
  Names are power, you see. When we are born, we are given a name, but that name can be used against us, to control us. So, sorcerers take another name, to protect ourselves. But there is a third name, a TRUE name, the source of all our power, and this name rests in our dreams, and should NEVER be spoken to another person.As for the name I took, and the reasons I took it? 

  Well now, that’s a secret.

• What made you decide to become a detective?
  Well, for a time I was a soldier, for lack of a better word. I fought against evil, and I did my best, and when that war was over I realized there was still a lot of fighting left to be done in the world. As a wise man once said, “You’ve got to be one of the good guys, because there’s way too many of the bad.”
• What would you be doing if you weren’t a detective?
  I’d be a mad old hermit in a cave, battling rock monsters and saving the world from fungus.
• How far would you go to solve a crime?
  Exceedingly far. Trust me.
• Who is the freakiest looking person you’ve ever met?
  Ah, you see, freaky is in the eye of the beholder. I try not to judge anyone by how they look–after all, some people might even consider me to be freaky. But I suppose if you were to insist on an actual answer, I’d have to say a gentleman I met once who had his face on the inside. That was just . . . odd.
• What do you hate most in the world?
  People trying to kill me. It happens more often than you’d think, and can grow quite wearisome.
• If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
  Why would I want to change anything? Am I not perfect the way I am? Thank you, I think so too.
• What is your most prized possession?
  My car. It’s a 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental.
• Describe yourself in 5 words
  Charming. Witty. Lethal. Brilliant. Modest.
