Auld Lang Syne 2016 - Year's End - Monkey Dreams - Episode 1

While napping on the deck of the Grandcypher, Andira dreams of the adventures of her ancestor, the Monkey King. When the crew goes to wake her up, they themselves start to fall asleep, but a young man rushes toward them and says the Joya is out of control.



Monkey King: We've finally arrived, Lord Tripitaka!
Pigsy: So this is Tianzhu, huh? That journey west sure worked up my appetite something fierce!
Sandy: Heh heh heh. Where do we receive the sutras? Ah, looks like the doorkeeper's over there.
Doorkeeper: Yawn... Just about break time. Wonder what I should order for take-out...
Monkey King: Um, excuse me! We're here to pick up some sutras, so...
Doorkeeper: Hm? Sutras, huh? Gonna need you to take a number first.
Monkey King: A number?
Doorkeeper: Gotta have one if you're gonna see the big man. If we didn't do it this way, we'd have a line wrapped around the whole neighborhood.
Monkey King: I suppose you're right, but... when you put it that way, it sure makes me feel unimportant.
Doorkeeper: Probably just your imagination. Anyway here's your ticket. You're number... one trillion twenty billion and three.
Monkey King: Thanks a bunch. How long do you think the wait's gonna be?
Doorkeeper: Hm... About five hundred years, give or take.
Monkey King: Gotcha...
Wait. Five hundred years?
Monkey King: T-that's not gonna work! We're in a hurry!
Doorkeeper: Oh yeah? Much as I'd love to do something about it, I'm just the doorman.
Monkey King: We just need to pop in, get the sutras, and leave. Five minutes tops! Could we have someone else get them for us maybe?
Doorkeeper: Huh? I don't think it works like that. The big man upstairs usually gets to decide that kind of thing.
Monkey King: But you've got serious problems with efficiency here! Can't you at least ask?
Doorkeeper: Listen. I'm just the doorman. You got any idea the kind of looks I'm gonna get if I bend the rules for you?
Monkey King: Sounds like a lot of red tape is involved... Whatever. I'll just ask him for the okay myself. If we can get that, then boom! Those sutras are ours!
Doorkeeper: Yourself? Wait. You're gonna ask him to change the rules just for you?
Monkey King: Yup. Waste of each other's time otherwise.
Doorkeeper: Wow, you've got some serious guts! You must be a serious big shot back where you come from!
Monkey King: Nope. Just a regular ol' monkey. Anyway... I'm off!
Doorkeeper: H-hold on!
Monkey King: Yeah? What's up?
Doorkeeper: You're meeting with Buddha, right? Here's your ticket. Number one trillion twenty billion and four.
Monkey King: Huh? I'm going to get the rules changed so I don't have to—
Doorkeeper: You haven't changed 'em yet, so you're still looking at a five hundred year and five minute wait.
Monkey King: I told you—
Pigsy: Forget the ticket business for now. I'm starving! What's good to eat around here?
Sandy: This certainly got bothersome in a hurry. Let's sleep for now. Tomorrow's another day.
Monkey King: Oh, come on. We came all this way just to wait in line for five hundred years? And it'll take five hundred years and five minutes to skip it?
Monkey King: No way I'm dealing with that!
Monkey King: Ook!
???: Sigh... You still have much to learn.
Monkey King: Hm? Are you Lord Buddha?
Lord Buddha: I have seen all. You remain afflicted by the three poisons.
Monkey King: Three poisons? Whatever! Now that you're here, we can grab the sutras and get out of—
Lord Buddha: Until you overcome the three poisons, I cannot give you the sutras... My apologies, but you must begin your training once more.
Lord Buddha: Hrah!
Monkey King: Whoa!
Andira: Yawn... Zzz...
Vyrn: Hey, Andira. You're gonna catch cold if you sleep out here, y'know.
Andira: Yawn... Okay, I've gotta wait in line. Got it.
Vyrn: Huh? I'm telling you to go sleep in your room!
Andira: Thanks. Here's to another good year...
Lyria: Hee hee... I don't think you're going to get through to her while she's sleeping, Vyrn.
Andira is one of the Twelve Divine Generals and serves as overseer to the miraculous Monkey Temple.
The Twelve Divine Generals are said to watch over the skies. They work tirelessly to bring happiness and fortune to the populace at the beginning of each year.
This year the duty falls to Andira, who rejoins some friends she met earlier in the year for a little adventure. Or at least... that's what they thought.
Andira: Hm? Lord Tripitaka? Oh... It's just you, (Captain).
  1. Morning.
  2. Sleep in your quarters, please.


Choose: Morning.

Andira: Morning... Oh. Your hair's a mess, (Captain).
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: Sleep in your quarters, please.

Andira: But it's warm here... Mm...
Andira: Although... your shoulder's not a bad place to rest my head either.

Vyrn: Geez. She starts clinging to (Captain) as soon as she opens her eyes.
Lyria: Hee hee... She's awfully honest around (Captain). Maybe I should try being a little more... Yawn...
Vyrn: The contagion's spreading! You've got a big job to do as year spirit, right, Andira? Hence the outfit?
Lyria: Yawn... Oh, right! You're the Joya Bringer!
Andira: I think you mean Joya Ringer.
Andira: The sky is full of worldly desires. People's hopes... People's wants...
Andira: In moderation they serve as nourishment.
Andira: But an excess of worldly desires is dangerous. That's why we gather them in a bell we call the Joya.
Andira: For the sake of maintaining equilibrium, we... Snore...
Vyrn: Hey! Don't go back to sleep! You've still got explainin' to do!
Lyria: Hee hee... I remember hearing about this last year.
Lyria: The year spirit has the important duty of emptying the Joya when it fills up with worldly desires.
Vyrn: Oh, that's right! If the worldly desires flood out of control, then—
Vyrn: Yawn...
Lyria: Hee hee... You're feeling sleepy too, Vyrn?
Vyrn: Why am I super drowsy all of a sudden?
Andira: I know. Why don't we play karuta?
Lyria: Karuta? Oh, is this some kind of card game?
Andira: It's a traditional pastime where I come from. I made the cards myself.
Vyrn: Looks like fun to me... Should keep me from falling aslee—Zzz...
Man's Voice: Hey! Heeey!
Lyria: Hm? Is that an airship drawing near?
Man's Voice: Joya Keeper! People of the Grandcypher!
Vyrn: You're just imagining things. Let's get back to that karuta business...
Man's Voice: Worldly desires are overflowing this year too! The Joya is out of control!
Andira: Good work out there, everyone. So what do you think of karuta, Vyrn?
Andira: Hm?
Lyria: The Joya's...
Vyrn: Out of control?
Andira: Not again!
