"A skeleton?" Skulduggery hardly dared to believe that he was this lucky, striking gold with one of the first questions posed to one of the first people he met. It was such a rare occurrence that he remained silent for a few moments, struggling to think of what to say next. "That's interesting. I happened to be a skeleton before waking up here. I didn't specialize in scaring people, but it happened a lot regardless. You come from a place where living skeletons are normal?"

It was enough to make him forget the headache. Halloween Town, populated by skeletons who specialized in scaring people. And here Skulduggery thought that alternate realities were dominated by creatures like the Faceless Ones.
