Adventurer Story Episodes

Episode 1

Let's Dance!

What's wrong, Euden? Ya seem worried. If that brow were any more furrowed, yer whole face would get lost in there. Heh. It's not quite so grave as all that. But we've been hunting fiends constantly, and everyone is worn thin. I wish there was something more I could do to help them rest. Well, it's true we ain't had much chance to blow off steam lately, and that does tend to make folks prickly. ...Huh? What's the deal over there? There's quite a crowd gathering. I wonder what for. Whatever it is, they're cheering up a storm. Let's go take a look. More music! Louder! Faster! Gimme a BEAT, man! Yes...YES! Perfect! Oh, I'm feeling it now! It's time for our last dance, so don't anyone blink! Whoa! I've never seen a dance so intense. And the crowd's response is just as wild! Lift your voices, move those feet! Everybody get down to this funky beat! Anyone out there still think there's no hope left in this world? You've felt it here! In the beat of the drum and the pounding of your own pulse! Wow... This guy's somethin' else! He's got half the town in a frenzy from all this rug-cuttin'! ...That's it! Hey there, folks! I could feel your eyes on me up there. My dancing light a fire in you? An inferno! I feel invigorated just having watched it. Which brings me to a request: Could I convince you to dance for my people? I think they'd really enjoy it. Hmm... Wait, are you by any chance Euden? I am, actually. Ah ha! Then today's my lucky day! h? I'm Luther! I've been wanting to meet you for a while! Er, do you mind if I ask why? The wind carries tales of your good work. How you're struggling with all you've got. How the plight of the people pains you. How you're refusing to let the kingdom slip into chaos without a fight. Hearing that makes me want to dance all that pain and weariness away! But first, a dance to celebrate our meeting! Woo-hoo! Watch close, Euden! This one's for you! This guy is incredible! Aaah, I'm moved! You've moved me! Make room for Ranzal, 'cause I'm gonna dance the roof off this joint! *sigh* Another weirdo joins the club.

Episode 2

Rhythm of Conviction

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Everybody fired up?! Because we've got one more dance to go! EAAAH! Everyone's going wild for Luther's dancing. I know! One look, and they were hooked. Says the one hooked hardest of all. Hey, what can I say? The way he moves, it just... I dunno. It speaks straight to the soul, I guess. That's rather poetic, coming from you. But I know what you mean. It's hard to express in words, but there's more than just passion in his dance. There's pathos. He's such a cheery fellow, but the way he moves makes me wonder if there isn't another side to him. Yes! I get that same feelin'. When we first met him, he was cheerin' on the whole village with his performance. It was easy to hear the conviction in his voice that day, yeah? Conviction? Curious... I wonder what it is that drives him to dance as he does. I would think it's... Well, hmm. Hey, now! Euden! Ranzal! Stop being wallflowers and get over here! Dance with me! Get ready for my sweet new move... I call it the Ranzal Roundhouse! I won't be outdone! Woo-hoo! This party won't stop till dawn! Ha ha ha! It's been ages since I had this much fun! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Let's see you thrust those hips, Ranzal! HUH! Like...like this? HUH! HUH! HUH! I'm not sure I see conviction in all this. It looks rather like a bunch of people making complete idiots of themselves.

Episode 3

I Don't Weep—I Dance!

C'mon, everyone! Follow along! We dance to another glorious victory! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Move those bodies! Let the joy flow through you! oo-hoo! ..... That was AMAZING, you guys! I can't wait for the next win to celebrate! Luther? A word, if I may. Hmm? What's with the scary face? Dancing end before you were done? 'Cause I can keep going! You mark the end of every battle with a cheerful bit of dancing. Do you not find that to be inappropriate? Some of our people were injured today. ..... I'm as pleased as anyone that we won, but surely you must feel some sorrow at the price that was paid. Of course I do. The thought of suffering tears at my heart. Then how can you dance in the face of it? If I weep, will my tears heal their wounds? Of course not, but that's no excuse to— I wish they would, but I've no such power. I never went to school, much less trained in the healing arts. But if I dance, I see faces knit with pain ease into a smile. I can't stop their hurt, but I can help it to hurt a little LESS. So, yeah. I don't weep—I dance! ..... I spoke harshly, and without consideration. For this, I apologize. Hey, now. Don't YOU go crying on me! What?! I assure you, that is not— Good! Then dance with me already! hat?! I always worry about you, you know? Straitlaced and serious is a fine way to live, but everybody needs a break every now and again, sister! So c'mon! The floor is calling! Dance the night away with me! Wha— H-hey! Stop that! Unhand me! I do NOT dance, Luther!

Episode 4

The Most Important Audience

Hup! Hah! All right, all right! I'm feeling it! Now let's pick up the pace a bit! Hmm? That's Luther's voice. Come on, Luther! It's too soon to be slowing down! Okay...and...TURN! Step, turn, and...FLOURISH! Woo-hoo! That was PERFECT! Nailed the whole routine! I'm always impressed with your energy. Were you there spying on me, Euden? Heh. Not intentionally. My apologies. Can I ask why you're dancing alone today? I was practicing. THAT was practice?! You were so intense, I assumed you were performing. Why push yourself to the limit like that if you're only rehearsing? Have I not mentioned this before? My most important audience is always watching from above. A tricky thing, that. Means I never get to cut corners. I may need you to explain that. ...It's a girl I knew. She was always eager to watch me dance. I'm slum-born and slum-raised, if you didn't know. It was as rough a place as you'll find. We'd steal to eat and fight to keep it. A good day was one you made it through alive, you know? That's hard to imagine, seeing the sort of man you've grown up to be. Thanks. But yeah, that's how it was. Until I met her, at least. She played music. I couldn't believe it. Here was another slum rat like me, but she had a great smile and music to match. I couldn't believe my own ears. ...Or eyes, if I'm honest. But the moment I heard that first song, everything changed. I can still remember how it felt. I'd never danced in my life, but suddenly the urge came screaming up from my core. ...Heh. Sorry. I'm rambling. Let me ask you something: What do you feel when you watch me dance? Do you think the Halidom is a happier place since I arrived? Yeah, I do. Don't get me wrong—we had plenty of laughs before you joined. But it's livelier now. There's an energy that wasn't there before. I'm glad to hear that. That means you won't need my help for much longer. hat? ...Nothing. Forget it.

Episode 5

This Party's Not Over Yet!

...So long, my friends. Where are you going, Luther? You weren't planning on runnin' off without a good-bye, were ya? Caught me, did you? Explain yourself! How can you pack up and go without so much as a fare-thee-well? I'm afraid my work here is done. Everyone in the castle is happier now. Heck, you even learned my dances! You've come a long way in particular, Euden. You're less troubled than when I arrived. I consider that my proudest accomplishment here. ..... You're surrounded by allies here. Friends. When times are hard, you'll see each other through it. So I'll just— You've got it wrong, Luther. Oh, I have friends here. That much is true. And it is because of their help that I'm able to feel at ease. But my friends include YOU. I'm certain I'll face harder battles than I've ever fought in the days to come. And I'm going to need you—and your passion—more than ever. ..... 'Sides, who's gonna teach me the latest moves if ya go? I don't want anyone to leave who is capable of distracting Ranzal. Luther, we're a team here. A family. You can't just walk out. ..Wow. Well, I can't very well say no to all that! All right, I'm sold. This dance party's not over just yet! YEAAAAAH! Now show me yer best move! Oh, I want to see this. There's room for everybody! You too, sister! Let's go! Wha— Hey! Stop that! I'm quite content just watching, thank y— HEY! Unhand me at once! I suppose this sort of thing can't hurt every once in a while. Woo-hoo! Let's get this party fired UP!
