In Hit World, you can hire LifeEnders, Inc. to kill just about anyoneexcept yourself.
LEI will not let you take out a First Party Contract, no matter how badly you want to end it all. Thats unfortunate, because the government made suicide illegal, and the penalty for killing yourself is the forfeiture of your entire estate.
Enter Charons Ferry, a company run by Mark Marshall and Lisa Woods, that offers what LEI will not: assisted suicide. And its legal because youre not really committing suicide. Youre hiring The Ferry to murder youin whatever creative manner you likeprovided, of course, youre willing to pay the Ferryman. A ride on the Ferry isnt cheap, though and you have to pay the Ferryman on this side of the river.
But Mark and Lisa are not what they appear. For the moment, they are blissfully unaware of their own true nature, but sooner or later something will happen and the dragons will be loose in Hit World.
