Skulduggery Pleasant

[Cornflower MM]

His relationship with Tanith... Seriously. I was on the verge of tears after Last Stand of the Dead Men. Were they happy or sad tears though

Ah yes, forgot that there were some stories in it that you couldn't find elsewhere. LIKE THOSE THREE STORIES THAT ARE IN THE PAPERBACK EDITION BUT NOT THE HARDBACK THAT I WILL NEVER GET TO READ.

. . . . . Amazon? Or snoop around the Internet. That's what I did for those two PJO + TKC crossovers.

Scream and swear

GAAAAAAAH I'M SO PISSED RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Okay, that feels better. I couldn't request the two books! Apparently the library doesn't have them. . . . . But I'VE SEEN THEM ON THE ONLINE CATALOG!!! RAAAAAAAAAAH!

They didn't have the last two TMI books, either. First time ever the library has failed me.

Okay, so how's this for a Skulduggery movie teaser concept.

Opening shot of Skulduggery in his disguise under a tree in a graveyard.

Cut to the scene where Skulduggery and Stephanie first meet in the study.
Skulduggery: At least he died doing what he loved.
Stephanie: Yes. At least there's that.
Skulduggery: You're one of his nieces then? You're not stealing anything, you're not breaking anything, so I'd guess you're Stephanie.
Stephanie: You say that like you know me.
Skulduggery: Strong-willed, intelligent, sharp-tongued, doesn't suffer fools gladly... remind you of anyone?
Stephanie: Yes. Gordon.
Skulduggery: Interesting, because those are the exact words he used to describe you.
*Skulduggery looks at his watch*
Skulduggery: Good luck in whatever you decide to do with your life.

Cut to black, fade into the will scene.

Fedgewick (reading Gordon's will): If there is one regret that I have had in my life, it is that I have never sired any children. Sometimes I look at what Fergus and Beryl have produced and I consider myself fortunate, but there are also times when it breaks my heart. And so finally, to my niece Stephanie. The world is bigger than you know, and scarier than you might imagine. The only currency worth anything is being true to yourself, and the only goal worth seeking is finding out who you truly are. Make your parents proud, and make them glad to have you living under their roof, because I leave to you my property and possessions, my assets and royalties, to be inherited on the day you turn eighteen. I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that, in my own way, I love you all, even those I don't particularly like. That's you Beryl.
Shot of Skulduggery's hand on Stephanie's shoulder.
Skulduggery: Congratulations.

Shot follows opening doors into the Council of Mages' chamber.
Mertorious: We live in a time of peace!
Shot of Hollow Men fighting a cleaver.
Skulduggery: We live in a time of fear.
Shot of Serpine and Bliss talking in Serpine's hallway.
Skulduggery: Where we're too scared of upsetting the status quo to ask the questions we need to be asking.
Bliss: They turned up yesterday.
Serpine: Oh?
Bliss: Dead.
Serpine: How terrible for them.
Bliss: Not a mark on their bodies. No indication at all as to how they died. Sound familiar?
Shot of Serpine's red hand.

Shot of Stephanie, Skulduggery and Ghastly talking in Ghastly's shop.
Ghastly: You're playing with fire girl!
Shot of the Bentley flipping over.
Shot of vampires running down a corridor towards the camera.
Shot of Stephanie fighting a Hollow Man.

Cut back to Ghastly's shop.
Stephanie: Everyone plays with fire around here.

Shot of Skulduggery throwing fire at Vindick Leather.
Vindick: *Laughs* MORE!
*Skulduggery tilts his head*
Skulduggery: If you insist.
*Skulduggery draws his gun and fires a bullet*

Shot of the troll trying to hit Tanith.
Shot of the White Cleaver dropping down from the rafters in the warehouse.
Shot of the monster in the caves.

Cut to Stephanie and Skulduggery in Stephanie's living room.
Stephanie: Mister Pleasant, you're a skeleton.
Skulduggery: You look like you're going to faint.
Stephanie: I've never fainted before, but I think you might be right.
SKulduggery: Do you want me to... catch you?
Stephanie: If you wouldn't mind.
*Stephanie faints*

Screen cuts to black and Skulduggery Pleasant logo made of fire appears with the title of the movie and date underneath it.

[Cornflower MM]

YES! That would be awesome!
