It must be Nostalgia Week according to the Internal Clock of Froodles, because I've just sat here watching Escaflowne for a good three hours after work. I never really thought about it before, but it must be a giant kick in the teeth for Folken having Dilandau's little army of boy prostitutes being called Dragonslayers. It's like, "Oh hey Folken,

Heheh. Except the Dragonslayers didn't make a living hunting real dragons; it was just their job to capture Van, the "dragon", right?

But that's lame! What happens when they catch him? They get pensioned off or moved to different departments? Like maybe Gatti becomes part of the Squirrelhunters and Miguel joins the Killers-of-Creepy-Bastard-Dopplegangers,-Those-Assholes and Chester... Chester gets moved to Archives and becomes a Photocopier. Poor wee thing.

Plus, where do they get all the Energists if they don't hunt dragons? My ass they just sit around and wait for them to croak on their own; if the hillbillies of Fanelia can do it (barring unfortunate accidents and loss of limbs of certain royal personages), Zaibach could totally manage it.

I think when they catch him they just wait around for him to be rescued, and then they can start all over again. Although I think Chesta might be happier in a career as a photocopier.

Good point, I suppose; presumably the ones they dig up aren't enough for their vast armies.

Hah! Oh man, I can so see that, all of them sitting around a card game, waiting for the tell-tale crash of Allen mounting another daring raid with his grand total of seven men. I bet they just leave the key to Van's cell under a flowerpot to make life easier all 'round. And yeah, I can't help thinking Dilandau just keeps him around to have someone do his paperwork for him, and the whole "Dragonslayer" thing is really a way to work around the rule that crazy pyromaniac soldiers don't get personal assistants.
