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?

THAT DEPENDS ON HOW THEY DIE, DOESN'T IT? I STILL SEE NO NEED TO ADD INSULT TO FATALITY.

ALL THINGS HAVE RULES, BUT ALL RULES CAN BE BROKEN. SOME HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.

True. Instantaneous death hardly counts in this vein of conversation.

Do you have an example of one such rule?

I WOULD IMAGINE THAT PROLONGED, PAINFUL DEATHS WOULD CERTAINLY RANK AMONG THE WORST THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN TO AN INDIVIDUAL.

I CANNOT REFUSE TO PERFORM MY DUTIES. THE BUILD-UP OF LIFE FORCE WOULD CREATE DISORDER AND EVENTUALLY CHAOS IN THE WORLD, AND THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD WOULD BE FORCED TO LINGER IN PLACES THEY SHOULD NOT BE.
