Suforutsendo Zensoukyoku
[Sforzando Overture]
|
|
|
A worried Queen Horn predicts unfathomable despair... and that their only
salvation will come in the form of 5 'hopes'. The five hopes are currently
dangling off a cliff. Surviving somehow, Flute begins to wonder what
Sforzando is like...and Trom offers bitter praise. Despite Hamel's
objections, Trom and Flute head off to bathe in a hot spring; Flute looks
remarkably pretty with her hair down, and the heat brings out something
odd: a birthmark in the shape of a cross. Meanwhile, Drum prepares his
army for travel, and Sizer flies off in search of Pandora's box. Guitar
accompanies Drum; his mission, Bass says, is to find the 'key'. This must
be done before Chestra awakens. Discussion of the attacks causes Lute to
mumble 'Sforzando' and Bass briefly panics...back at the camp, everyone
sleeps as Trom informs Oboe that Flute is the long lost Princess of
Sforzando. {EIR}

Suforutsendo Koushinkyoku
[Sforzando March]
|
|
|
The staggeringly massive fortress town Sforzando is in view. A passing
peddler informs them that Sforzando is now a closed city; and will not
allow strangers in. Fortunately, Hamel has an idea. Dressing himself up
as a foppish noblemen, Raiel up as a woman, Trom as bamboo, and Flute as
an ostrich (with Oboe as the head) that he proceeds to ride into town
on...This works, for someone unknown reason, but Flute slaps him once
safely inside, telling him she hates him. A passing mook attacks before
the argument gets too far, and Hamel saves Flute once again, getting badly
beaten as he does...and the monster is destroyed by a fireball from Clari,
and his Magic Corp, who proceed to arrest the party. {EIR}

Oujo Furuuto
[Princess Flute]
|
|
|
In a cart, being hauled to the castle, Hamel begins to fear that he will
be thrown out of the city without being able to repair his violin. Fearing
the worst, he comes up with a desperate plan: distract their captors by
flashing Flute's panties at them. He soon realizes a major flaw in the
plan: the cultured, bishonen Clari is clearly a 'homo'. Thus, he makes
Raiel into Raiko and is most upset with Clari merely sets Raiko on fire.
Hauling them into the audience chamber, Trom demands special treatment by
virtue of being a prince. Clari proceeds to deliver the single most
insulting speech I've ever read; and the others have to hold Trom back
while dodging wild swings of his sword. Clari nearly burns Oboe as well,
before Queen Horn arrives to fill the room with sweetness and loving, to
heal Hamel's wound with her magic, and to pronounce Flute her daughter.
Meanwhile, Drum has learned of Hamel's presence in Sforzando, and declares
this is 'chance'. Back in the audience chamber, Flute shoves Horn away
from her, and runs from the room... {EIR}

Oujo Furuuto sono 2
[Princess Flute Part 2]
|
|
|
Flute is in her room, crying, and has been for two days. Only one thing
can bring her out: Hamel makes Raiel, Oboe, and Trom dress up as go-go
dancers and holds a noisy party. When Flute peeps out, he proceeds to
launch grenades in her general direction...she once again becomes furious
with him, and runs out onto the patio, followed by Trom. There, Percuss,
steward to the royal family, proceeds to blackmail her: In exchange for
the information on where Hamel can get his Violin repaired, the two will
agree to a permanant seperation, since Hamel is not worthy of the company
of a Princess. Hamel and Raiel leave to find the repairman. Clari
approaches with the 'Mirror of Truth', but before he has a chance to show
Flute what happened 15 years ago, Drum attacks... {EIR}
