And They All Lived "Happily" Ever After.

Greetings, fellow soldiers.

[The feed opens up to a view from the very edge of the bridge. Slim legs dangling over the edge, at the very precipice of everything.

It's a nice day today. The water's sparkling. A light breeze has small waves kicking up on it's surface, barely distinguishable from the quality of the video format. Even so- it's pretty.]

It's been a while since our last game. I'm sure most of you are busy with the flurry of activity this month has sparked, however- indulge me for a few minutes.

Consider it a question, more than a game.

What would a 'happy ending' look like, to you?

[ She tries to be hopeful, but also realistic. A happy ending just isn't feasible most of the time. ]

One of those old school TVLand type plots, huh... Okay. Let's see.

[ Give her a moment. ]

I'd live on a farm in a small town where everyone knows everyone and we're almost all like family. And I'd have at least fifteen dogs and other animals and live out a quiet, common life like that until I died.

[ She couldn't curse the world with hanyo children... or anymore demon children, so. No kids. Just animals, mostly dogs, and a closeknit community.

Yeah. That sounds pretty nice. ]

[And Chara, in their usual, absolutely respectful away- snorts.]

That's all? How tedious.

[Mm. Respectful.]

[hasitsthorns]

[ To that, Rose smiles. ]

I want tedious. Give me the boring, mundane, and definitely tedious things in life. [ She wants peace and quiet and to, for once in her life, not be afraid. Not be hunted. ]

What about you, hm? Can't expect everyone to answer without giving us your happy ending!

[achievementhunter]

What? Too much excitement in one castle, for you?

[Not that Chara can disagree with the statement. Wouldn't it be nice, to live peacefully until you die?]

That's where the game gets unfair, I'm afraid.

I don't have a happy ending.
