[Death is rather old fashioned so he's still not very good with this technology even though he's been on the ship for a few months now. The video shakiness for a moment probably doesn't help to soften the fact that you are now staring into the face of a skeleton in a black robe. The voice seeming to just appear in your head rather then entering your ears via the normal route probably doesn't make things better either.

Sorry, he can't help it. He also sounds a little hesitant.]

THIS MAY SOUND LIKE A VERY ODD QUESTION ....ESPECIALLY FOR THIS LOCATION.

BUT ARE THERE ANY UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED MARRIAGE TRADITIONS? BESIDES THE END RESULT I MEAN?

[No no no, this can't be. But here it is, and Ichabod is a man who believes his own eyes.]

How is that you've been reunited with your skull!

[He tries not to let his emotions get the best of him this time, but there's thinly veiled alarm and anger in his voice.]

[Meanwhile the skeleton in question is confused.]

.....I DID NOT LOSE IT?

I took it. Or has this ship given you back your skull in exchange for your memory?

NO, I HAVE A GREAT MANY OF THOSE STILL. JUST NOT MY MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE.

I BELIEVE YOU MAY BE MISTAKING ME WITH A DEATH FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE. BECAUSE UNLESS YOU HAPPEN TO COME FROM THE DISCWORLD, OR WERE IN A TOWN CALLED MAYFIELD FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THEN THERE IS NO CHANCE I AM SIMPLY FORGETTING YOU TAKING MY HEAD.

You're telling me that there's more than one Death?

[That's disturbing on so many levels. But he's never heard of this...'Discworld' that he speaks of.]

OF COURSE. THERE ARE MANY WORLDS AFTER ALL.

WHY DID YOU TAKE THE HEAD OF YOUR WORLDS DEATH?

It was my mission. A very important one with the fate of every man, woman, and child hanging in the balance.

A MISSION TO KILL DEATH?

To kill a solider, at the time. One bearing a certain mark.

[He scoffs.]

Killing Death, as I've come to find out, poses something of an impossibility.
