Episode 01: At the End of Our Travels, We Meet
Posted by: Anonymous Club Officer in Gankutsuou, SummariesViscount Albert Mondego, the son of General Mondego, and his traveling companion Franz arrive in Luna to enjoy the Carnival that being held there. While attending an opera of some sort, they encounter the Count of Monte Cristo… a guy who everyone claims is an oddball. Rumors about him involve outer space adventures and vampires.
After finding a pocket watch that he dropped at the opera, Albert and Franz wind up sharing a meal with the Count. While conversing about love, Albert informs his host that his parents have set him up to be married with someone who he doesn’t love. His goal is to go on a life quest in order to discover the true feelings of his heart…
Following an odd change of topic, the Count invites Albert and Franz to watch an execution. Through a game of cards arranged by Mr. Monte Cristo himself, Albert manages to save a life… a life of an obvious low-life criminal. This makes Albert all depressed, and so like any rational man, he ends up deciding to sleep with some random girl who pays him a little attention. To the surprise of everyone involved, she pulls a gun on him (the metal kind).
