CITY OF THIEVES
Watch out, kid. It's dangerous up there.
The City of Thieves
A disgraceful place where the pettiest of criminals and kingliest of kingpins flock from the four corners of the world.
Isn't it beautiful? A market where they only sell stolen goods...
You're out of luck, Jing. Doesn't look like they serve minors.
BLUE HAWAII & MORTE CALON
A cozy town to the north... or it had been at one time...
Well, this definitely looks like a place a phantom ship would hide.
ADONIS
Nothing quite like a hot bath in the middle of the jungle...
That's why I have to go there...
What's up, Kir? No stamps?
He sure keeps on ticking, doesn't he?
Inside that tower, there.
It's a public execution.
I'd estimate your doom to fall in approximately one point zero--
Did I kill him?
A gift for me! Not exactly wrapped, but we'll put him in a box soon enough!
Stay alive until then...
Looks like we've already reached the Gates of Hell. Then again, I haven't knocked.
If you wanna die, birdie, we got lots of coffins!!
This stuff is our main hors d'oeuvre, if you will.
As the saying goes, "a cemetary is the cheapest of inns!"
Pretty soon, the moon will rise as planned... and it will sweep the underground clean for us.
You've been... granted the honor of receiving a second execution as a warning to others.
Be thankful your deaths were quick.
Ahh... the Eggnog Team. Perhaps you can take care of one little rapscallion for me?
This clock means that this person's time was interrupted... stopped... expired. In other words, he's dead!
Aren't you the one who wanted to "shatter the clocks"?
Hmm... IIII see a cute leetle taaaiilll...
That boy is neither god nor demon. He just knows an opportunity for profit when he sees one.
That little twerp might talk big about stealing time... but will he be able to withstand the punishment of the Eggnog Team?
And what a sight to wake up to.
The hourglass is filled with flowers?!! Someone must have sown seeds in the sand!!
You say I woke you up... Hope you don't mind if I wake the dead once more!
You go on. We'll be drinking here 'til "morning".
Even these plants have time at their cores, don't they?
Now then, little thief. We are standing on the clock-tower's highest floor.
Even if you figured it out now... it would be too late, boy. This time, your heart will be ours.
Wait-- what's all that noise?!!
Mastergear is at the heart of this clockwork mess...
Fl-flowers?!
Hey-- where is that little twerp, anyway?
The days of mechanical fear finally passed from Adonis...
...shielded for years by a fortress of forest, the once-sleeping clock-town is in bloom once more.
SUNGRIA scans can be found HERE.
CITY OF CORPSE
Following the grand tradition of this fair City of Corpse, the King is at this moment handing down the rosary beads signifying that his legitimate heir has come of age.
This window affords the prince a spectacular view of the three candle towers he will soon blow out.
Well, that one precious life of yours could turn into a hundred, or even two hundred!
Pernod and China Lilet. I just love the tree.
Ah, an ancient battlefield. A site where foolish humans once competed for foolish vanity.
Among the shadows in a village of leaves...
So, where is this bucket of bolts taking us again?
TRACE CHURCH - She failed to overcome the difficulties.
Scrutinize an acrobatic snake, eh?
Within sleeping forest an old hag lies in wait... steal a kiss from her lips to set your path straight.
The Witch's Hills at night.
REVIVER
This will be our boat!!
I smell salt water... we've reached the sea.
This is the fabled City of Reviver? Looks like it could use some Reviving itself!
So, you finally came, eh? Mr. Leviathan himself!
The number of items I have to remember goes slightly beyond the brain's capacity, you see.
My masterpiece of perpetual motion... She's an original Odradek engine! (spoilers)
from the lake...to...Hol...ly Howe...farm... (spoilers)
After all, they say that catching these seven colours, even for an instant, is more beautiful than a thousand years of eternal gray...
SEVENTH HEAVEN
End of the line for today... Not that there'll be any tomorrow for you lot...
The customary welcoming party.
At least he won't be wasting our food any more.
...View.
We were booked into the Prison of Dreams...
And this "Benedictine" is an inhabitant of that labyrinth.
Looks kind of like when you wake up, doesn't it...?
Hey -- what's everyone reading?
There are no tricks up my sleeve!!
You see? It's just a friendly nightmare...
Gonna add one more infraction to my criminal record: a free ride on the train!!
Chief!! The commemorative statue!!
I can personally guarantee that the next light you'll see will be the blazes of Hell!!
One more round of applause for the courageous lad and his trusty sidekick!!
Watch it -- if I swing this thing, the two halves'll turn into four quarters.
KINGDOM
Looks like a carnival. With all those dreams jostling each other so violently -- a festival was bound to happen sooner or later!
Where are you going, exactly?!?!?!
Breaking through into the remnants of memory.
This... this is... the Village... of Acacia.
I wish you could stay inside this world forever... but you have to go now, don't you? (spoilers)
That conjurer just freakin' dumped the Dream Orb on 'em, didn't he...?! (spoilers)
AMARCORD
You guys again -- three good-for-nothin' strike-outs!!
You act like you came here to pick a fight or somethin', but really you just wanted to see Jiiing...
Raise the red, raise the white....
The problem with running one-handed...
This is our method!!!
Sidestreets more than main streets...
Are we on a mountainside or something?
Forest fairies again, y'think?
It seems we've stumbled into a house of plants... not people.
Looks like this one's mostly turned into a tree already...!!
Can you think of a time you'll need it more than now?!
What sort of a room is this?!
Ah... A flower thief... (spoilers)
ZAZA
A grand festival held each autumn when the clouds turn red in the seaside City of Zaza.
For the past year, all those within our city... nay, around the world... have eagerly awaited this day -- the day the Masked Arena would be held once more!!
I'll wipe the Vintage Smile from this town's face!
Aside from your stomach, Little Kir, our top concern right now is how we're going to take the Vintage Smile.
Won't you come in?
Oh wow, it's my hero.
See? There you go! ♥
A-Angostura Senior!
And today's White Corrida comes to a close... with Ginjou abandoning the arena!
One after another, spectators are rushing to catch a glimpse of the public execution... (spoilers)
You seem listless, my love... Sitting alone in a place like this.
You see... I am waiting for a certain partner...
AVIATION / FUZZY NAVEL scans are found HERE.
POMPIER
The City of Colours!!
Awright boys, don't get careless, eh? We wouldn't want another Vermillion Incident...
Pompier's got a drink for every conceivable colour!!
Foo... kinda looks like I've stained my hands with blood, eh?
Then again, it could all be colourless for all I know.
The dark side of Pompier... otherwise known as the "Black" Market!
Of course, underneath the mansion... that's where his factory is!
If we keep heading north and cross this river, we should see the mountain range soon after.
Vin Quart's house.
Mother... loved feeding the birds. She fed so many birds in this room.
Colour Town had lost all its colour... it was as if the entire town was in mourning.
Like a picture drawn by nature on a canvas of pure, blue sky...
TWILIGHT TALES
CZARINE
Les enfants du paradis (colour)
Congratulations on your acceptance to Heaven.
I hate funerals... and noisy funerals are the worst.
The Ore Castle City. Run by the federal house of Orzo.
If they have their way... someone'll need permission to mine for us!
Then we'll have to go somewhere they can't reach us.
...is valuable enough to buy this whole city.
Then... you've been mining ore down here all your lives?
"In Czarine, there are thirteen types of minerals. The first is quartz..."
Stealing from your friends too, eh? What a naughty thief you are.
-- just like this one!
What's that?! Who's the pretty lady?! What's goin' on, Jing?!
RUSTY NAIL
The leader of this gang calls himself the King of Bandits.
Well, I am a bandit. Thought I might take the back entrance for once.
Sure you don't wanna look at this nice ring I got?
Contain the targets first. You can kill them after that.
I will perform Brain Surgery on God.
So what's this "God's Brain", Jing?
So it seems God's body lies under His name!!
This is Professor Uryan's house, you realize.
The contagions infecting the Shinku must be extracted!!! (colour)
So... The Organic Organ is acting strangely, too? (colour)
Sorry about the wait... had to get a doctor's note before I could kill you.
I feel more naked than that time all my feathers got pulled out... y'know, back in book 7.
You see... this district is best known for selling every organ known to man.
In fact, there's no organ you can't buy around here...
You see, everyone in this city owes their life to the Doctor.
He was once called the Guardian Bird.
Suspects are currently in the Bone Marrow Bank, stealing the--
Uh, Jing -- I don't think these guys are normal!!
Punishment and Crime go hand in hand.
With these eyes, you will determine the colours of Heaven.
Doctor!! What are you doing with that?!!
Doctor...! My chest... my chest...
Come out of that tin womb, now...
After all... you still have your precious patients, don't you?
Your arrhythmia may linger for a while, but... you're going to be okay.
Doctor Uryan's "Holy Body Grafting" technique sure is somethin', ain't it? (spoilers)
Whaddaya say? Shall we extend the abduction?
WHITE NIGHT DESERT
What a bastard, escaping into the White Night Desert like this! (colour)
The Saga of the Lost King and the Millennium Stew. (colour)
In here? Yeah. (colour)
How about hanging around here until they stop?
In that city, there's a royal dish that's been cooking for the entire thousand years the King's been missing.
There's... lots of... stuff... here!!
Grenadine's sister Sugar in traditional garb.
If you get lost here, you'll end up dead. This is the land cursed by the Sun.
The "King" guarding the desert.
And a farce of a show at that! (spoilers)
ORGEAT*
If the only alternative is getting melted in a pot...
...Who was scorned by fate and didn't even grow a horn.
This eyeball that's said to be able to see everything in this world and the next...
...in order to feast on a glorious and unparalleled meal.
You will welcome the King!
Looks like the party's been called off, Jing.
The King is gonna come.... But they believe, they believe...
I bring great tidings to those here to witness the coronation! (spoilers)
Are you sad, sister? Don't cry! (spoilers)
The Lost King's hall. (spoilers)
They've been waiting for a thousand years. (spoilers)
MOULIN ROUGE
Please, not that... God, anything but that... (colour)
It's been called that ever since the great fire here 24 years ago. Special funeral district Moulin Rouge. (colour)
Don't be ridiculous! We may be married, but... what gives you the idea we're in love?!
You must first submit to a love inspection.
Well, I'm the King of Bandits, to be precise. Jing. And this is Kir.
The gravemarker your boss is building with all the money from the Love Tax-- the Parfait d'Amour!
Did we just get aboard Noah's Ark?
What mass is held in the middle of the night?
A mobile church... I've heard of this before.
...it's as if I'm seeing a different color.
You better have a good explanation for what's been going on.
Hey!! You're gonna rob a grave?! That's terrible!
...I must bring you to justice! Tax evader!!
He... he's escaped into Sampton!
Everything's covered with stickers...
Sorry, Kir. Love is often painful.
What is this place?
So now the church and I live as wanderers... and when we need to hide, we come here.
The Spritz House!
This is Zero Love!! Stay where you are! Freeze!
He isn't dead, is he?
Looks like a dance without the dancers...
That was him!!
You're not getting away this time!!
The house exploding and flooding the city with DLDM fog
moulin rouge et le taxe sur l'amour seconde moitié
Hey, Jing! Kind of hard to work with a basket case like her around.
In order for illegal lovers to listen to their love songs without being caught...
We have to move the collected taxes into the great safe, got that?!
King of Bandits... stole a shard of my memory, did you?
I figured it might be fun to dig our own grave for a change!
...what's being guarded in this graveyard is...
The grave of memories!!
Though the only thing we can do... is give you guys a nice burial.
The Graveyard of Memories
...up to the heavens where the supreme love awaits!
...Borus assembled everything that can make people forget.
What eats everything? Birds and beasts and trees and grass...
I'm borrowing your vacuum!
The Answer to the Riddle
Hmm... That's odd... I did invite everyone...
That red windmill!
So I shall wait-- for that time... for that wind...
Looks like the whole city's population is really going to the windmill.
Jeez... can't you at least let me do my job?
bon brouillard!!!!
Let's meet under the moulin rouge at sunset.
NEW ALCOHOL BOTTLE CITY
The gods having a chess tournament here or something, Jing?
Well, you could say... the land itself was checkmated.
This was before I met you. Right after I split up with my mother...
The village called the New Alcohol Bottle City.
If being alone means that even you don't know yourself... then that place was truly a village of solitude.
Anyway, this was the kind of place that had people selling all sorts of strange things.
In a village with all these strange businesses... I met this man.
He'd even sold his name.
The moment I saw the shop... I could tell it was all a scam.
I think I'll be able to count them all tonight... Yeah!
King of Southern Comfort!
Well now, how about we get our accounts settled in the black?
I'll make you your tombstone... your name was Jing, wasn't it?
3... 2... 1... Blastoff!
He found it! He found it! The barrel...
MERRY WIDOW scans can be found HERE.
BLACK VELVET
Now, in celebration of the Holy Suit's arrival... release the one hundred one holy eggs!
At the Bottom of Black Velvet
May the Odd Association be blessed forever! May the Even Association stagnate in ignorance!
Looks like the time has come to make our exit.
Don't be rude to Princess Picon, Kir.
...the Plaza of the Giant's Vest.
What made this city flourish?
And how did it perish?
This city created clothes that countries all over the world fought each other to import...
"The girl who ripped off the land and sewed it together like a god... and wore it like the Devil!"
A night... of blue... flames?
Yo, Jing, watch your step. Who knows what we'll run into... wha?!!
JING!!
Darn, and that was a perfectly good jacket...
More like a coffin you wear.
And eventually... no need to move by your own will.
Stop that dog, Jing! He's a prime witness!
Let's let them enjoy some freedom in the dark.
All travelers who ran out of energy before reaching their home...
So, is this their home?
They are ripping off our skin, Picon!
Now that you look presentable, shall we...
For hundreds of years now... they've only been able to talk via that card. So even a simple lullaby... is a lot of work.
They've got bigger issues than getting home to their nest. It's like this whole country's been caught in a web.
They approve of me? Who doesn't?
You better stay close! I'll never find you in here if you get lost!
How about that for lending a hand?
Which one is Picon?!
Picon's clothes have bloomed!!
It's covered in velvet as far as the eye can see...
Meaning an unknown, incapable of being understood trouble approaching... Jing!
And to mourn for the dying country...
We may not be one, but our fate is intertwined...
Nothing but an empty shell... like this one who's lost his wings and his true body...
A kiss to the forehead is to bless, a kiss to the lips is pure love... a kiss to the hand is desire...
...everything else is wild passion!! ♥
She looks like a kid watching to see which flower a butterfly's gonna land on next...
We're here to steal you.

moulin rouge et le taxe sur l'amour seconde moitié
Hey, Jing! Kind of hard to work with a basket case like her around.
In order for illegal lovers to listen to their love songs without being caught...
We have to move the collected taxes into the great safe, got that?!
King of Bandits... stole a shard of my memory, did you?
I figured it might be fun to dig our own grave for a change!
...what's being guarded in this graveyard is...
The grave of memories!!
Though the only thing we can do... is give you guys a nice burial.
The Graveyard of Memories
...up to the heavens where the supreme love awaits!
...Borus assembled everything that can make people forget.
What eats everything? Birds and beasts and trees and grass...
I'm borrowing your vacuum!
The Answer to the Riddle
Hmm... That's odd... I did invite everyone...
That red windmill!
So I shall wait-- for that time... for that wind...
Looks like the whole city's population is really going to the windmill.
Jeez... can't you at least let me do my job?
bon brouillard!!!!
Let's meet under the moulin rouge at sunset.
NEW ALCOHOL BOTTLE CITY
The gods having a chess tournament here or something, Jing?
Well, you could say... the land itself was checkmated.
This was before I met you. Right after I split up with my mother...
The village called the New Alcohol Bottle City.
If being alone means that even you don't know yourself... then that place was truly a village of solitude.
Anyway, this was the kind of place that had people selling all sorts of strange things.
In a village with all these strange businesses... I met this man.
He'd even sold his name.
The moment I saw the shop... I could tell it was all a scam.
I think I'll be able to count them all tonight... Yeah!
King of Southern Comfort!
Well now, how about we get our accounts settled in the black?
I'll make you your tombstone... your name was Jing, wasn't it?
3... 2... 1... Blastoff!
He found it! He found it! The barrel...
MERRY WIDOW scans can be found HERE.
BLACK VELVET
Now, in celebration of the Holy Suit's arrival... release the one hundred one holy eggs!
At the Bottom of Black Velvet
May the Odd Association be blessed forever! May the Even Association stagnate in ignorance!
Looks like the time has come to make our exit.
Don't be rude to Princess Picon, Kir.
...the Plaza of the Giant's Vest.
What made this city flourish?
And how did it perish?
This city created clothes that countries all over the world fought each other to import...
"The girl who ripped off the land and sewed it together like a god... and wore it like the Devil!"
A night... of blue... flames?
Yo, Jing, watch your step. Who knows what we'll run into... wha?!!
JING!!
Darn, and that was a perfectly good jacket...
More like a coffin you wear.
And eventually... no need to move by your own will.
Stop that dog, Jing! He's a prime witness!
Let's let them enjoy some freedom in the dark.
All travelers who ran out of energy before reaching their home...
So, is this their home?
They are ripping off our skin, Picon!
Now that you look presentable, shall we...
For hundreds of years now... they've only been able to talk via that card. So even a simple lullaby... is a lot of work.
They've got bigger issues than getting home to their nest. It's like this whole country's been caught in a web.
They approve of me? Who doesn't?
You better stay close! I'll never find you in here if you get lost!
How about that for lending a hand?
Which one is Picon?!
Picon's clothes have bloomed!!
It's covered in velvet as far as the eye can see...
Meaning an unknown, incapable of being understood trouble approaching... Jing!
And to mourn for the dying country...
We may not be one, but our fate is intertwined...
Nothing but an empty shell... like this one who's lost his wings and his true body...
A kiss to the forehead is to bless, a kiss to the lips is pure love... a kiss to the hand is desire...
...everything else is wild passion!! ♥
She looks like a kid watching to see which flower a butterfly's gonna land on next...
We're here to steal you.
