Elian Skarend- 
Congratulations on your selection as a Guardian! We have observed your excess of joviality, and have decided to assign you to a Ward with an excess of disconsolateness 
You are too meet with your Ward at 16:30 Mercanor time. They will be waiting for you in the second dimension- specifically, the Ebony Moon Cafe.  
We wish you the best of luck in bringing this Ward back to normalcy.  
Sincerely,  
The department of Mental Balance 
 
Nope. Still the same. I run my hand through my faded maroon hair, frustrated. Goodness, the one thing that was supposed to make me happy, to go back to being normal, and it gets screwed up. I snort. Excess of Joviality, my butt.  
And yet the fact remains that I have to be a Guardian, at least until I can get reevaluated. This is probably going to end up really, really, badly.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
