01x01 - Memories

[bunniefuu]

Listen, Fena! Listen very closely!

Go to Eden--

Young Yukimaru, Fena!

Young Fena, Yukimaru!

Young Yukimaru, I'll find you, no matter what! Just stay alive!

Young Fena, Yukimaru! Yukimaru!

Young Fena, Yukimaru!

Angie, Fena.

Soldier A, Sure, I've heard the rumors.

Soldier B, No, she really is a beautiful girl.

Soldier A, She can't be that great.

Soldier B, - You haven't seen her, have you? - I only know the rumors.

Soldier B, When you see her, you'll understand.

Soldier B, Skin as pale as snow, and hair that gleams like silver.

Soldier A, Oh?

Noble C, So, who won the bid for her jus primae noctis?

Noble D, That young upstart, I hear.

Noble C, That weirdo...

Noble D, Now, now...

Noble D, What color does her skin turn when she gets flushed?

Noble C, Forget it.

Noble C, Wonder all you want, you'll never know.

Noble D, I beg your pardon?

Noble D, You're in the same boat as me!

Salman, Otto, surely you're not thinking--

Otto, We must work fast.

Angie, You really do have lovely hair.

Angie, I can see why they call you the White Marginal.

Angie, Pretty soon, men from all over the Continent will come flocking to see you.

Fena, I couldn't care less.

Angie, Oh, dear. You still can't get him out of your mind?

Angie, That black-eyed knight of yours?

Angie, You don't even know if he's still alive.

Angie, What was his name again? Yookie? Yookoo?

Angie, Oo, so scary...

Fena, Angie.

Fena, I can't do this. I can't just let some man I've never met have his way with me.

Fena, I won't! I won't do it!

Angie, Hang on... Are you still--

Fena, You bet I am! Hang on!

Fena, I have some cunning plans worked up for this exact occasion!

Fena, Come over here, and I'll walk you through them!

Fena, Come on!

Fena Houtman's Flawless Escape Plan Guidebook Pt. !

Fena, Observe!

Angie, You're all the way up to , huh?

Fena, Plan A!

Sleeping

Dash!

Dummies

Escape into the forest!

Fena, - While everyone is fast asleep-- - Does this island ever sleep?

Fena, Right you are!

Fena, Next! Plan B!

Store

Off to the Ares District

Dash!

Dummy Dummy

Fena, While doing my morning shopping, I distract my escorts

Fena, and slip through the Turkish market and enter the Ares District!

Angie, I've seen that one before.

Fena, Ah, okay. Moving right along, then!

Duped

Payoff

Dummy

Fena, Plan C!

Fena, I bribe the sentry at the western gate, and--

Angie, Bribe him with what? You've got no money.

Fena, - With my body... - Isn't that why you want to escape?

Fena, Right you are! I'm never gonna do that!

Fena, Which means that Plan C is also a bust!

Angie, Is this your idea of "cunning" plans?

Fena, In the end,

Fena, any plan I come up with boils down to money!

Angie, Well, duh.

Fena, Without money, I can't get on a ship,

Fena, and even if I made it to the Continent, I couldn't support myself!

Angie, So you finally figured it out. Congratulations.

Fena, And that's when it hit me.

Fena, I figured out how to get my hands on some money first!

Angie, - I'm not lending you any! - Nope, not you!

Fena, Angie, money is a funny thing.

Fena, Where there's none, there's none at all, but where there's some, there's lots!

Fena, So I just need to steal every last penny of that ill-gotten money!

Angie, Hang on, that's why you put yourself up for auction?

Angie, - To ID the richest guys? - Plan D!

Fena, Presenting the Witch's Whammy.

Fena, It's an aphrodisiac, but according to Elza the pharmacist,

Fena, if you mix in a double dose into wine, it acts as a sleeping potion that works instantly!

Fena, Apparently.

Angie, That crazy old lady...

Fena, My plan is to use this to knock out that pampered farm boy

Fena, and help myself to all the money he used to buy me with!

Angie, Guards will be standing watch outside all night!

Fena, The second floor of the "Tower of Babylon" is used for primae noctis, right?

The Tower of Babylon

Fena, It sits on the coast, so there aren't many guards.

Here!

Fena, If I tie curtains together to make a rope,

Fena, it'll be a snap to climb down the tower wall!

Here!

Angie, - They'll spot you immediately. - They won't! At least not until morning!

Fena, Because I'll be in the middle of my primae noctis.

Fena, By the time anyone catches on, I'll be on a ship for the Continent!

Fena, I'll be crossing the sea of hope with the wind at my back, basking in the morning light!

Angie, What're the chances that the potion won't work?

Fena, Not zero.

Angie, And that you won't be able to get a boat?

Fena, - Not zero. - Your plan stinks.

Fena, A-Adventures always carry an element of risk, Angie!

Angie, When did this become an adventure?

Fena, Say what you like, but I'm setting out into a brave new world tonight!

Fena, You can't talk me out of it!

Angie, I won't stop you. Your plan will just run into another hiccup again anyway.

Angie, They'll be coming for you soon. You need to get ready.

Fena, Angie...

Fena, Do you know what day today is?

Angie, Come on, the clock's ticking.

Fena, Today marks ten years to the day.

Fena, Ten years since I washed ashore on this island.

Manager, Fena, it's time. Let's go.

Manager, Listen, Fena. Maxiver, Jr. is a bit of an odd fellow.

Manager, His behavior might take you aback, but play along and give yourself to him.

Manager, You'll get used to it.

Manager, If he takes a liking to you, he'll spend money like water.

Manager, Your cut is one-tenth of whatever he spends.

Manager, Don't try to fudge the numbers.

Manager, What's the matter?

Fena, Why are we still going up? We've gone past the second floor.

Manager, Second floor? Oh, you mean the traditional room.

Manager, It was at Junior's request. He's been granted the use of the top floor for tonight.

Fena, The top floor?

Planned!

Fena, Yay, me!

Top floor here

Fena, Ah, I'm gonna die! Farewell, cruel world!

Manager, What's gotten into you?

Fena, It's too high up! I can't get away!

Manager, Come on, Fena, you'll be late. Get up!

Fena, My stomach...

Fena, My stomach hurts! And my head! I'm gonna barf!

Manager, - Oh, come on... - I hurt all over!

Fena, Every bone in my body is broken! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Manager, Huh?

Manager, Quit messing around, damn it!

Fena, I refuse to go through with it! Not ever! I'd sooner die!

Fena, I'm going back to my room! Get your filthy hand off me!

Manager, You'll behave yourself if you know what's good for you, Fena.

Manager, If you decide to defy us... Show her what to expect.

Manager, Listen, Fena.

Manager, Don't get too high an opinion of yourself. There's plenty more where you came--

Manager, Old-timer! What are you doing back--

Otto, Are you all right, Lady Fena?

Fena, I'm fine, you're-- Mister, your nose! It's all bloody!

Otto, Oh, this is just a scratch!

Manager, Wh-Who are you?! Don't you know where you are?! This is a royally-sanctioned--

Salman, Home run to the left-field bleachers!

Salman, Lady Fena! We're here to rescue you!

Fena, "Lady Fena"?

Fena, "Rescue"?

Fena, S-Salman?!

Fena, Otto?!

Otto, Lady Fena, it's been far too long!

Otto, You've grown into such a lovely-- No, this isn't the time!

Otto, We're here to rescue you! Let's escape!

Salman, We have a ship standing by! Follow us!

Otto, Come, Lady Fena!

Fena, Hang on, I'm still a little fuzzy on what's happening here...

Salman, Lady Fena, pursuers are coming!

Salman, - Please make haste! - You can trust us!

Fena, Manager?

Manager, You're not going anywhere, Fena.

Manager, You're just a harlot who's only good for being made love to by men!

Manager, - Now be a good girl and-- - Let go of me.

Fena, Let go of me, you creepy jerk with a creepy little mustache!

Salman, - Lady Fena! - Lady Fena!

Junior, Hm? What did you say?

Junior, You'll have to speak up.

Manager, She escaped.

Junior, I thought I told you to speak up.

Manager, She escaped the--

Manager, Fena-- That is, the White Marginal has escaped!

Junior, My bride-to-be escaped? That's what you're telling me?

Junior, Are you kidding me? Get your asses out there and bring her back,

Junior, you bunch of useless morons!

Salman, It's the alarm bell! We've been found out!

Otto, I have ears! Lady Fena! We have a ship hidden on the eastern shore!

Otto, Hang in there just a while longer!

Fena, - But east is the other way! - It's what?!

Fena, Ouch!

Otto, - It's the other way! - You idjit!

Salman, Why on earth are there so many guards?

Otto, This island is run by the country.

Otto, Civilian m*llitary employee VIPs use it too.

Salman, Ah, that explains it...

Fena, They're coming this way!

Salman, - What do we do? - Don't ask me!

Salman, You got us into this mess by taking us in the wrong direction!

Otto, - It's not like you noticed it either! - This is no time for bickering, you two!

Otto, I'll draw them off. You take Lady Fena and get away!

Fena, Otto!

Fena, Can you handle them? That's quite a belly...

Otto, Don't you worry about me! This is all muscle!

Otto, Good luck to you, Lady Fena.

Otto, You face the Houtman knight Otto the Blitz!

Salman, Oh, I'm impressed!

Salman, You've lost your hair, but not your edge!

Salman, Come along, Lady Fena, we'd best be off.

Fena, Otto, that was amazing!

Otto, B-But I didn't--

Karin, Oh, brother. They're going in the wrong direction again.

Shion, The dark of night and old eyes. They couldn't possibly read the map.

Shion, His hunch was on the money.

Karin, - What do we do? - The twins are there. They can handle it.

Fena, Salman! You want to take us to the eastern forest, right?

Salman, That's right, Lady Fena!

Fena, Then we're still going the wrong way!

Salman, Beg pardon?

Salman, - It's the other way! - Nincompoop!

Fena, Okay, got it!

Fena, It'll be fastest to go through there.

Fena, - Follow me, you two. - Yes, miss.

Guard, Hey! You three!

Guard, What are you doing over there?

Salman, - Lady Fena, go on ahead! - Will do!

Otto, - We'll never forget you! - Why would you say that?!

Salman, Let's see what you've got, whippersnappers!

Angie, I keep telling you, I have no idea.

Manager, How could you possibly not know?!

Angie, If I don't know where she is, I don't know where she is!

Manager, You liar!

Angie, She had thought up some nutty plan,

Angie, but she's always doing stuff like that.

Angie, And she sure never said anything about having outside help.

Manager, Don't you try to keep secrets from me, Angie!

Angie, What would I possibly gain from covering for her?

Manager, - I've had about enough of your lip! - Enough!

Junior, Quit wasting my time and playing dumb, you bitch!

Abel, He didn't harm you, did he,

Abel, ...milady?

Angie, N-No, I'm fine.

Abel, I won't stand for ill treatment of women. I suggest you remember your station.

Junior, Scone bastard...

Abel, Cody, please escort the lady out and offer her some tea.

Cody, Yes, sir.

Fena, Do you think Salman is all right?

Otto, Lady Fena, you needn't worry about the likes of him.

Otto, In his younger days, that old coot was known as Salman the Onslaught.

Otto, He is a spearman who knows no equal!

Fena, Wow, he is?

Otto, He may be getting on in years, but he can handle two guards.

Otto, He'll deal with them in a flash and catch up with us, just you see.

Guard A, - Okay, grandpa, where'd the girl go? - Spill it!

Salman, I don't know! I couldn't say!

Guard B, - Don't act like you've lost your dentures! - I don't really know!

Guard A, - Want to lose your teeth for real? - Have mercy!

Kaede, Shouldn't we help him?

Enju, Let's wait until they pull his teeth out!

Kaede, - Good idea, that sounds like fun. - Right?

Fena, Say, Otto... How did you find out I was on this island?

Fena, Otto?

Otto, Hm? D-Did you say something, Lady Fena?

Fena, Shall we rest a bit?

Otto, I'm fine... We must hurry along.

Fena, You don't look fine to me.

Otto, No matter how slow your pace, moving ever onwards without resting

Otto, is always fastest... in the end!

Fena, Not if you--

Otto, Are you sure that you aren't the one who wants to rest, Lady Fena?

Otto, Is that the wind?

Fena, Otto!

Fena, Otto!

Thug Guard C, He's not dead.

Thug Guard A, - The flat of my sword hit him! - Otto!

Fena, Otto! Let go!

Fena, Let go of me!

Thug Guard A, That's about enough of that, little lady.

Thug Guard B, Look at this. Her hair really is pure white.

Thug Guard D, Just like the rumors say.

Thug Guard A, She's the sacred maiden, the White Marginal.

Thug Guard E, Come on, let's k*ll her.

Thug Guard A, Don't be in such a rush!

Thug Guard D, No one will know?

Thug Guard E, Once we're done with her, we just need to throw her into the sea.

Thug Guard A, The mako sharks will take it from there.

Fena, Save me... Save me, Yukimaru!

Thug Guard C, Hey, don't even think about leaving me out of--

Thug Guard A, Hey, what's wrong?

Thug Guard B, I dunno, he just--

Thug Guard A, Hey, are you drunk or something? Do your job and keep an eye--

Thug Guard A, Wh-What the--

Thug Guard A, Wh-Who's there?! Show yourself!

Fena, Everything fell silent.

Fena, All I remember was a sound of metal like a ringing in my ears.

Fena, A blade that gave off an eerie glow.

Fena, A helmet with antlers.

Fena, Deep black eyes.

Fena, Er, I... Um... Thank you.

Fena, Wait!

Fena, Um, I... I know you!

Fena, I've seen them before! I remember your eyes!

Fena, But if I'm wrong about you, I apologize.

Fena, I haven't met all that many decent men.

Fena, On this island, all the men are sleazeballs!

Fena, They treat women like property and never apologize after being rough with them!

Fena, They get mad a the drop of a hat, and you never know what they're thinking!

Fena, So basically, what I'm trying to say is... I-Is you're completely different!

Fena, I mean...

Fena, I mean... you're different. You're not like them.

Fena, You... You saved me.

Fena, You saved my life, just like you did before.

Fena, I'm positive.

Fena, I know I'm right.

Fena, You... You're Yukima--

Shion, Uh-oh. Now he's gone and done it.

Karin, Who even does that?

Kaede, It makes for quite the shocking scene, though.

Enju, Was that a good idea?

Karin, Sure, why not? That's pretty much all the loose ends dealt with.

Shion, Well, I suppose there's no danger to us.

Yukimaru, She's as yappy as ever. So annoying...

Fena, Out cold in the forest, I lay dreaming.

Fena, Dreams of long-distant memories.

Fena, Wait for me...

Fena, Yukimaru...
