Executioner End / Knight End

Dec 19, 2009 17:24

Okay...I shouldn't be playing games now, but I couldn't help myself and I sped through Ace and Julius's routes (~3 hours each) and I'm going to actually read them through carefully once Jan 15th comes. Stupid college apps. =A=;;

Anyway, has anyone else gotten Executioner End / Knight End yet? I haven't seen anyone summarize it yet, so I guess I'll do it myself? ^^;;

If you've seen BAD END, you should know how both ends start.

Alice wanders to the entrance to the circus for no apparent reason. She had this feeling that she just had to go there no matter what and just stands around there because there's a sign that says unauthorized people aren't supposed to go in.

But then she hears a voice calling her name and looks around to see if someone she knows called her, but no one's there. She feels really insecure for some reason, when these kids from the circus, a girl and a boy, come up to her and ask Alice if she's lost and if she wants them to guide her. So she tells them that she's not lost and that she'll go back because the circus isn't even open anymore.

The kids tell her to go into the circus because they're running it now, and Alice wonders if they're going to practice and thinks they're cute, and the kids tell her that she can go in because they've approved of her.

So they go in.

And Alice gets chained to a dartboard (or something). And they throw real knives at her. o_o;;

Alice: Stop it!
Kids: Why?
Alice: Let me go!
Kids: Why?
Alice: What do you mean, why!?

Alice is even more frightened because the kids are acting like they're playing with toys and just practicing.

Alice: I'll die! Stop it! Someone! Why isn't anyone else here!?

They explain that the circus is over and Joker has left already because he's "busy." Alice tell them that it can't be helped, and they reply that it can't be helped but they're lonely because they've been left behind.

And the girl throws a knife at Alice when...

Knight End:

「正義の味方、ただいま参上」

Ace shows up in his mask and cloak and everything and deflects the knife!

Ace: I'M THE ALLY OF JUSTICE!!!! 8D

XDDDDDDDD

Alice and the two kids: ......................Umm what? =A=;;
Ace: I'm the Ally of Justice!
Kids: ...Who?
Ace: .......Like I said, I'm the Ally of...

Kids: Are you some kind of degenerate!?!?
Ace: De......
Ace: ......Degenerate?
Ace: ...Ha, haha, that's horrible...
Alice: BUT THAT'S HOW YOU LOOK. =_=;;
Ace: How horrible...is that what you say to the hero who came rushing in to save you? ;A;
Alice: ......Yes, but however you look at it, you look like a total weirdo. =A=;;

Alice tries to talk to him, but Ace cuts her off and starts a speech about how he's a knight who was "passing by" and is the knight who came to save the princess.

Ace: ......So that would make you guys the villains. Should I kill you? :D

Alice comments that Ace just looks like a suspicious looking guy with his sword raised. And then there's a long silence with many, many dots. XD

Ace: ...Eh?
Kids: .........SCARY!!!
Ace: ......Wha-?

So now the kids are really scared, but not because Ace has his sword raised, but because HE'S A TOTAL WEIRDO and they start to back away slowly. XDD

Ace: Eh? Wait......you guys?
Kids: YOU WEIRDO!!!! AHHHH SCARYYYY!!!!!
Ace: EHH!? WAIT, HEY......!
Kids: DON'T COME NEAR US YOU WEIRDO!!!!

And they run away screaming.  XDDDDDDD

Ace: ............
Alice: ......Well, that reaction is to be expected.
Ace:  *laughs weakly* ...Ha, hahaha......haha......;A;
Ace: *sighs* Somehow.......I feel like I'm the one that got cut...

And he takes off his mask and says that he wanted to look cool, but...(obviously, that failed completely. XDDDD)

Alice: Anyway, thanks for saving me. ^^
Ace: Yeah. I am a knight, after all. I came to pick you up, my lady. ^^

And Alice feels totally relieved, repeating "Thank goodness" over and over, but all of her strength gives out and Ace has to support her.

Alice comments that Ace's timing was too amazing.

Ace: Because it's the knight's role to have good timing in a pinch. ^^
Alice: I approve! You're definitely a knight.
Ace: Really? It's an honor coming from you. ^^

The End!

I was smiling and laughing through the whole thing. ^^

And now...

Executioner End! (You get this by seeing Ace Events 1~16 but not seeing event 17.)

Rewind back to when the girl is about to throw a knife at Alice.

Guess who comes to save Alice! It's Ace! Again. He deflects the two knives. Again.

「……ふう。危ない、危ない」
「……や。奇遇だね、アリス」

He actually did look pretty heroic this time. XD

But then Alice notices that Ace isn't wearing his usual red clothes.
This time he's wearing his executioner's outfit (kind of like Joker's).

Ace asks Alice why she's here, and Alice throws the question back at him, when

「しょ、処刑人!?」

Kids: E-executioner!? Why did the executioner come out!?

And while Alice wonders why they're calling him this,

Kids: Why are you here!?
Ace: Hmm? Oh, it's a coincidence. ^^
Kids: Coincidence...?
Ace: Yup. Coincidence. I al~ways end up in some strange place.
Ace: I was really unlucky this time too. This time I had knives come flying at me...

And he plays with the two knives that got thrown at him...

Ace: Please don't throw knives at me. ^^

*THROWS THEM BACK at the girl who threw them and cuts her cheek*

Kids: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
Ace: Eh? Haha, I gave them back. But it looks like I missed. Sorry. ^^
Kids: Why are you getting back at us!?
Ace: What are you talking about? I just wanted to give them back. ^^
Kids: Why?
Ace: Because you threw them at me. ^^
Kids: B-but we weren't throwing them at you!
Ace: Eh? But they came flying at me. ^^
Kids: That's because you got in the way! More like you flew in! It wasn't a coincidence at all! Yeah! It's not our fault!

Ace: *starts speaking in that voice*.....So are you saying that it's my fault?
Kids: T-that's...!
Ace: Hahaha...it's not my fault, right? But if it's not my fault, then whose is it......? ......Isn't it you guys?
Kids: !!!
Ace: You don't have permission from Joker and you're just running around wildly. Did you get attracted by the foreigner even though you're just toys?
Ace: It's not like I don't understand that feeling, but...*glances at Alice*

Alice notes that Ace's eyes are devoid of any warmth. Ace turns back and says,

「でも、駄目だぜ?子供がおいたをしちゃあ……」
「……うっかり、斬り捨てそうになる」

Kids: *thoroughly frightened now* B-but this place isn't even your post!!
Kids: Don't just go wherever you want! Don't just say whatever you want!
Ace: Haha, what is this? Are you preaching to me?
Kids: Doesn't it say outside that unauthorized people aren't supposed to come in!?
Ace: Yeah, it does. I ended up here because I got lost.
Kids: You liar! It's written outside in huge font!
Ace: Unauthorized people aren't allowed in? But that means I can come in, doesn't it?
Ace: I'm authorized. Much more than you guys, am I wrong?
Kids: ....B-but your post is...
Ace: ...Don't make such a fuss about it. I'm not fond of the sounds of machines creaking.

Ace brandishes his shiny sword and steps towards them.

Kids: J-just because you're the executioner doesn't mean that you can do whatever you--
Ace: *cutting him off* It's fine.

「この子は、俺の獲物なんだから」

Alice: WHAT? What are you talking about!? O_o;;

Kids: Your...? But she's still---!
Ace: ...I thought I told you to shut up. I don't want to hear your voices.

Ace turns back to Alice.

「狩られる側にまわりたいか?」

Alice isn't sure who Ace is referring to now.

Ace: Do you want me to break you? Do you want me to trample until you can't be repaired anymore?

And then he starts to sexually harass Alice while she's still up on the dartboard and can't move and the kids are watching.

Ace: Or do you want to become my toy?
Alice: Ace! Stop it!

Ace turns back to the children.

Ace: Should I try this sword out on you?
Kids: W-we didn't know she was yours! It's not our fault!

They both run away. Alice is relieved because she thought she was going to be killed and she thanks Ace.
When Ace doesn't say anything, Alice thinks that the smaller threats are gone now, but Ace is still there. Ace was the one who saved her, but he was much scarier than the two children who were throwing knives at her earlier. Ace faces Alice again.

Ace: ......You look nice, Alice.

He just smiles at her without untying her or anything, so she's still tied to the dartboard with her hands chained.

Ace: That appearance suits you.
Alice: Didn't you......come to save me?
Ace: I didn't. I didn't come here to save the imprisoned princess or anything like that.
Alice: .....Isn't that what a knight is supposed to do?
Ace: Sorry, but that's not the case.

Alice wonders which part he means. The meaning, or his status as a knight.

Alice: Then why are you here? (Is he angry? O_O;;)

「ん?そうだなあ……。偶然と……、狩場を荒らされるのを防ぎに来ただけ」

Alice: ...Territory?

Suddenly, Ace takes his sword and violently stabs it into the dartboard right next to Alice.

And starts harassing her again.

Alice: Wha--! Stop it!
Ace: I won't. *kisses Alice and shuts her up*

分厚い頑丈そうな素材で出来た的なのに、突き立てられた彼の剣は今にも切り裂いてしまいそうだ。

(……私ごと、斬り裂かれそう)

あながち冗談でもなく、的とともに真っ二つに裂けた自分が脳裏に浮かぶ。

いつでも喉を斬り裂かれそうな緊迫感。

「……っふ」

笑うような溜息と共に、唇が離れる。

だが、体は離れない。剣も間近に刺さったまま。

Ace: ...Alice. It's your fault for getting lost here.

Alice notes that Ace is whispering to her the way a lover would and realizes that that's what their relationship was like. When she wished for someone to help her, the image of the person she drew in her mind was of Ace.

It doesn't feel weird to call him her lover anymore, but now Alice starts despairing because she doesn't know anything about Ace, what kind of person he is, what kinds of things he does. She doesn't know what Ace thinks of her and what kinds of things he thought about her.

「俺に、酷いことをさせるのは君……」

Who is this person? He's someone I know. He's Ace, but I don't know who he is. He's the Knight of Hearts. He lives in the same castle as me, he's Julius's friend, and he's an important person to me.

「俺が、裁いてあげる」

"The knight who came to save me isn't here."

The End. ;A;

So for Knight End, I was pretty much laughing through the whole thing, and for Executioner End, I was all ドキドキドキドキドキドキ!!!!! and then the ending killed me. ;A;
