[00:04] BELLE
I appeared from one
of these rocks as a child.
[00:09] BELLE
Stone eggs, huh? I wonder
where they came from.
[00:21] BELLE
Is my homeland in the sky or what?
[00:26] BELLE
That wouldn't be funny.
[00:33] BELLE
But I want to find it...
[00:35] BELLE
I long for a world that will
allow me to blend in.
[00:46] KITTY
I've found you. I've finally found you,
[00:50] KITTY
girl of reason.
SIGN Bye Bye, Earth
SIGN Bye Bye, Earth
[02:32] BELLE

SIGN Timekeeping Stone
O'crock
SIGN Quartz Forest
[02:39] BELLE
I haven't been back to the
Quartz Forest in ages,
[02:43] BELLE
but I haven't missed this place at all.
[02:53] BELLE
A rabbit?!
[02:54] BELLE
You're a young Rabbitia, aren't you?
SIGN Rabbitia
[02:57] BELLE
How pretty. Like a little doll.
[03:02] BELLE
Here. Want a drink?
[03:07] BELLE
They say crossing a traveling
Rabbitia is a sign of good luck.
[03:15] BELLE
H-Hey!
[03:20] BELLE
You look ridiculous, you know that?
[03:23] BELLE
Getting mixed up with this
kid seems like a bad idea.
[03:26] BELLE
You can keep the cup. I've got spares.
[03:39] BELLE
What a strange child.
SIGN Park City, Schwert Land
[03:54] CROWD
What is she?
[03:56] CROWD
What an unusual tribe!
SIGN Under West
[04:12] BELLE
This place sure hasn't gotten any quieter.
[04:16] BELLE
Might as well start by filling my stomach.
[04:21] CROWD
What's with her?
[04:22] CROWD
She's a strange one.
[04:23] CROWD
Totally featureless...
[04:28] HAGGIS
You're on the outside here, missy.
[04:32] HAGGIS
Guess looks can be deceiving.
[04:34] HAGGIS
I thought a mermaid from
the castle had wandered in.
[04:38] BELLE
Inside, outside... It's all the same to me.
[04:41] HAGGIS
What?
[04:42] BELLE
Bring me something to eat.
[04:44] BELLE
That and some cold flower tea.
[04:46] HAGGIS
Listen up, country lass.
[04:49] HAGGIS
We live by the Law of Theme in Park City.
SIGN Law of Theme
[04:52] HAGGIS
Everyone here's destined for good
or evil the moment they're born.
[04:59] HAGGIS
Defy that order, and you might wind up dead.
[05:02] BELLE
I get the feeling you're mocking me.
[05:05] BELLE
And don't call me "lass."
[05:07] BELLE
I have a name. It's Belle Lablac.
[05:10] HAGGIS
Well, excuse me, Lablac.
[05:13] HAGGIS
I'm Haggis, owner of the Amaretto.
[05:16] HAGGIS
How much do you know about Schwert Land?
[05:19] BELLE
Just about everything, I reckon.
[05:22] BELLE
Park City's divided between the good
Topdogs and the evil Underdogs,
SIGN Good
SIGN Topdogs
Castle Dwellers
SIGN Evil
SIGN Underdogs
Outside the Walls
[05:28] BELLE
effectively the people inside
and outside the castle, right?
SIGN Topdogs
Castle Dwellers
SIGN Underdogs
Outside the Walls
[05:32] HAGGIS
Precisely! The Law of Theme wouldn't
hold without that divide.
[05:36] HAGGIS
No one upsets the balance
and gets away with it.
[05:40] HAGGIS
You'd better hurry up and figure
out which side you're on.
[05:46] BELLE
Why bother?
[05:48] BELLE
I'll be leaving the country soon enough.
[05:51] HAGGIS
What? You don't mean...
[05:55] BELLE
I'm gonna become a nomad.
SIGN Nomad
One Who Travels
[05:56] BELLE
That's why I came to Park City.
[06:01] HAGGIS
Don't waste your time.
[06:02] HAGGIS
God will never allow it.
[06:04] BELLE
Huh?
[06:06] HAGGIS
Country folk, I swear...
[06:08] HAGGIS
Listen here, Lablac.
[06:10] HAGGIS
The king up in the castle doesn't
really rule this country.
[06:14] HAGGIS
God does. Got that?
[06:20] HAGGIS
Hey, what's the matter?
[06:21] BELLE
I just remembered. The god's called...
[06:26] BELLE
Deus Ex Machina.
[06:29] HAGGIS
"Deus"... What?
[06:31] BELLE
I don't really understand it myself.
[06:34] BELLE
Just something I heard
from a heartless jerk a long time ago.
[06:38] BELLE
That's right... I killed someone.
[06:43] BELLE
But who? And why?
[06:49] YOUNG MAN A
Damn brat! You've been
nothing but trouble!
[06:52] BELLE
It's that kid!
[06:53] HAGGIS
What're you lot planning
to do with the child?
[06:56] YOUNG MAN B
You're not gonna believe this, Haggis!
[06:59] YOUNG MAN A
The brat vanished into thin air,
gnawed on my sword...
[07:02] YOUNG MAN A
We went through hell to get
the little shit here!
[07:04] BELLE
Evil solists, huh?
[07:06] YOUNG MAN D
But this is our big chance.
[07:08] HAGGIS
You'd better not mean—
[07:10] YOUNG MAN C
We caught ourselves a Rabbitia!
[07:12] YOUNG MAN A
Killing one will make names for us!
[07:14] YOUNG MAN A
And drinking Rabbitia blood will
make our swords unbeatable!
[07:18] HAGGIS
Idiots!
[07:19] YOUNG MAN A
Rabbitia are all freaks anyway!
[07:26] HAGGIS
Lablac, wait!
[07:27] BELLE
You're supposed to raise your sword
to the music of clashing steel.
[07:32] BELLE
I see evil solists aren't
what they used to be.
[07:38] BELLE & SIAN
If you can't tell the difference
between being evil and doing evil,
[07:42] BELLE & SIAN
you don't deserve a sword.
[07:44] YOUNG MAN
You bitch!
[07:49] BELLE
What?
[07:51] BELLE
What was that?
[07:58] BELLE
There it is again.
[08:00] BELLE
Something's holding me back.
[08:02] HAGGIS
You fool! Who goes around smashing swords?!
[08:04] YOUNG MAN D
You'll pay for that!
[08:08] YOUNG MAN C
That does it!
[08:14] BELLE
What's going on?
[08:16] BELLE
I might as well be swinging a hunk of iron.
[08:19] SIAN
You can't become a nomad
unless you take on a curse.
[08:23] BELLE
Is this my curse?
[08:25] BELLE
Can I not cut anything anymore?
[08:28] YOUNG MAN E
No...
[08:30] HAGGIS
Hey! That's enough!
[08:49] HAGGIS
You've made your point.
We can all see how skilled you are.
[08:53] HAGGIS
And how beastly, too.
[08:55] BELLE
I just...
[08:57] HAGGIS
There's no coming back from this.
[09:00] HAGGIS
They worked hard to grow those swords.
[09:00] YOUNG MEN
My sword...
[09:02] YOUNG MEN
No way.
[09:03] HAGGIS
They'll never revive.
[09:06] HAGGIS
They'll just wither away.
[09:08] YOUNG MEN
Oh, there they are!
[09:10] YOUNG MEN
Topdog solists!
[09:11] HAGGIS
Good solists!
[09:14] HAGGIS
Have you got a dog tag?
SIGN Dog Tag
License to Duel
[09:16] BELLE
Of course not.
[09:17] HAGGIS
Then get going.
[09:18] HAGGIS
You used a sword without a dog tag.
They won't let you off easy.
[09:22] BELLE
What about the kid?
[09:24] HAGGIS
Must've run off.
[09:28] HAGGIS
H-Hey.
SIGN The Castle
[09:51] BELLE
Have you missed being on the inside?
[09:56] BELLE
I don't remember anything
about this place except meeting you,
[10:02] BELLE
Runding.
[10:07] JAILER
When that candle burns out,
we'll begin our investigation.
[10:11] JAILER
Wait here until then.
[10:20] BELLE
It was in a room like this.
[10:23] BELLE
I found you, then waited and waited.
[10:28] BELLE
Can I really not cut anything anymore?
[10:32] BELLE
This is the form my curse took,
[10:36] BELLE
the first trial on my way...
[10:38] BELLE & SIAN
to becoming a nomad.
[10:40] BELLE
That's right. I waited and waited.
[10:44] BELLE
And then...
[10:46] BELLE
someone came.
[10:47] BELLE
But who?
[10:54] BELLE
What's wrong with you, Belle Lablac?
[10:56] BELLE
Nobody's coming to get you out of here!
[10:59] BELLE
Staring at the door won't
make it open any sooner!
[11:02] BELLE
Runding!
[11:12] BELLE
The candle's out.
[11:15] BELLE
Oh, right. Could you call a
solist named Gaff for me?
[11:19] BELLE
I guess you could say we
had the same teacher.
[11:24] BELLE
Had completely slipped my mind.
[11:28] BELLE
Did you get that?
[11:34] ADONIS
Someone broke your sword, old man?
[11:37] HAGGIS
No, not mine. Mine wilted a long time ago.
[11:42] ADONIS
It's been a while, Haggis.
[11:45] HAGGIS
Adonis!
[11:47] HAGGIS
What are you doing outside?
[11:48] ADONIS
If it wasn't yours that broke, whose was it?
[11:51] HAGGIS
Oh, you know. Some young guys.
[11:54] HAGGIS
They're a mess.
[11:56] HAGGIS
I put 'em in a guest room upstairs.
[11:59] ADONIS
Can I talk to them?
[12:02] HAGGIS
Ask them for the whole story.
[12:07] HAGGIS
Adonis, have you seen your family?
[12:10] ADONIS
I don't plan to.
[12:13] CUSTOMER
What do you think he's back here for?
[12:17] HAGGIS
Who knows?
[12:18] HAGGIS
Lots of problem customers today.
[12:22] CROWD
I-It's the Army of Insatiable Emptiness!
[12:22] CROWD
They're coming!
[12:23] CROWD
Hurry! This way!
SIGN The Army of
Insatiable Emptiness
[12:24] CROWD
You're done for if they get you!
[12:26] CROWD
I don't want to be a shadow!
[12:27] CROWD
Take shelter indoors!
[12:34] CUSTOMER
I don't believe it! They showed
up smack dab in the middle of the city!
[12:38] HAGGIS
They've sniffed out one of their own kind.
[12:42] HAGGIS
Someone in Park City'll join the
Army of Insatiable Emptiness today.
[12:47] HAGGIS
Someone who can't enjoy anything anymore.
[12:57] BELLE
I really owe you one, Gaff.
[13:00] GAFF
You're my guest now, remember?
[13:03] BELLE
Still, I sure am glad I called you for help.
[13:07] BELLE
I can't believe you found me this place
to stay, on top of getting me acquitted.
[13:12] GAFF
You should have come to me from the start.
[13:17] GAFF
Your master asked me to look out for you.
[13:23] GAFF
Here's a dog tag.
[13:24] GAFF
Just carve your personal spell onto it.
[13:29] BELLE
Shandy Gaff,
[13:30] BELLE
why would a top solist like you drop
everything to do my master a favor?
[13:35] BELLE
Was he that big of a deal?
[13:38] GAFF
I don't hold a candle to him.
[13:41] BELLE
Oh yeah?
[13:44] GAFF
Do you resent him?
[13:46] BELLE
How could I? He made me forget
everything about him.
[13:52] BELLE
Anyway, sorry, but I can't accept this.
[13:57] BELLE
I'm going to become a nomad.
[13:59] GAFF
I know.
[14:01] GAFF
But you can't start your journey until
you fulfill a contract with the king.
[14:07] GAFF
You must serve this land
as a solist for a time.
[14:14] BELLE
I'm under a curse.
[14:17] BELLE
I think it might've made my sword picky.
[14:24] BELLE
I used to be able to cut
down people of any tribe
[14:28] BELLE
just like I slice through
flowers, stone, or wood.
[14:33] GAFF
What a thing to say.
[14:35] BELLE
Huh?
[14:36] GAFF
Seeing no difference between
felling people and flowers
[14:42] GAFF
sounds like the real curse to me.
[14:46] BELLE
Are you saying I'm beastly?
[14:48] BELLE
My sword is like a glove
I wear when I touch things.
[14:54] BELLE
Something tells me it
shouldn't play favorites.
[14:58] GAFF
This will assist you in solving the mystery
of your curse as well as in your travels.
[15:04] GAFF
Why not accept it?
[15:06] BELLE
You got me there.
[15:09] BELLE
My spell, huh?
[15:11] BELLE
Maybe I'll write "beastly."
[15:13] GAFF
Belle...
[15:14] BELLE
Thanks for everything, Gaff.
[15:17] BELLE
To be honest, I didn't want lean on anyone.
[15:21] BELLE
But since you offered,
I'll take all the help I can get.
[15:25] BELLE
You'd better not get cold feet!
[15:29] BELLE
Hey, you! Where did you come from?!
[15:33] BELLE
What are you doing here?
Did you come to thank me?
[15:36] BELLE
Don't sweat it. I decided
for myself to butt in back there.
[15:41] GAFF
That's the child all the fuss was about?
[15:44] BELLE
Well, yeah.
[15:46] GAFF
You should be honored to have
a traveling Rabbitia for a guest.
[15:51] BELLE
Some guest.
[15:55] GAFF
I'll arrange an audience with
the king for you at once.
[15:58] BELLE
You really are some big shot, huh?
[16:04] GAFF
That's the farm-players' music.
SIGN Farm-players
[16:06] BELLE
Takes me back.
I used to practice it all the time.
[16:10] BELLE
Not that my playing ever
made much of anything grow.
[16:16] GAFF
You're not going to visit your parents?
[16:18] BELLE
I will, when it's convenient.
[16:21] GAFF
Shouldn't you at least drop in to say hello?
[16:28] BELLE
I can't see them yet.
[16:32] GAFF
I see.
[16:37] BELLE
I haven't had a fancy bath in ages!
[16:44] BELLE
Don't like baths? Well, too bad.
[16:50] BELLE
Wait, you're a boy?
[16:54] BELLE
Where were you trying to go, anyway?
[17:00] BELLE
Don't tell me you can't speak...
[17:10] BELLE
It's tough having people be so nice to me.
[17:19] GAFF
"Lablac," huh?
SIGN Lablac
"A Rarity"
[17:22] GAFF
You're the second person
to carve that name.
[17:25] BELLE
Really? I'm not the only one?
[17:27] GAFF
You and your master.
[17:29] BELLE
That really rubs me the wrong way.
[17:31] GAFF
Sorry.
[17:32] BELLE
Now, why does he want me to see the king?
[17:36] GUIDANCE

Maybe that explains your lack of manners.
[19:46] GAFF
Belle.
[19:52] BELLE
The king is looking at me.
[19:55] BELLE
So what about the god?!
[20:05] BELLE
I knew it.
[20:06] BELLE
The tree still won't look at me.

To become a nomad!

To what end?

So I can find my roots.

I want to know who I am, where I
came from, and where I should go!

I want to find people like me!
