video; [KINGOFHEROES]

[The feed opens to Gilgamesh lounging on a couch, wine in hand, smirking faintly at nothing in particular. A snowy white lion which some of you may recognize lies curled on the floor, napping away; as for Gilgamesh himself, he's as relaxed as could be. Quite a far cry from his time in imprisonment.

And indeed, when he speaks, he sounds confident as ever—albeit in a lazy sort of way, words flowing like syrup.]


What does "heroism" mean to you?

[An open-ended question he allows to hang, for a moment or so, before continuing on.]

Would you consider what we're doing here to fall along those lines? Or, perhaps... yes, I'm aware some of you are new to this little group activity of ours, regarding the sun. And doubtful that you're all as sincerely invested as ALASTAIR wishes us to be. It does seem a bit trifling.

[Only Gilgamesh could consider the death of light itself to be trifling. He yawns, then rolls over, kicking his feet impatiently like a child awaiting entertainment.]

If they all died, it wouldn't really matter, would it? ALASTAIR would spirit us away to the next grand adventure and the cycle starts anew.

[In his obstinance, Gilgamesh dumps his wine right on the floor. He seems to revel in it, in the mess he's made. In the mess he intends to make.]

So I suppose what I'm asking is [smile blossoming into a grin] do you believe it's possible to save everyone, at the expense of yourself? Is that the proper way of a hero, or just someone naive enough to pursue "goodness"? To those we put atop pedestals, were they ever worth admiring at all?

[His eyes narrow at his jewelry. To call them serpentine would be an understatement.]

To those who believe firmly in the principles of justice—do you earnestly think you were doing the right thing all along? I wonder.

[Sieglinde has... so many questions. Where did that lion come from? How bad was that wine to get poured on the floor?

And what did make a hero, anyway, when you thought about it? It wasn't just sacrifice, and it wasn't just a sense of justice... nor did she believe it was something so easily decided by humans and not the test of time. But firstly....]


Are you truly interested in the opinions of the masses in regards to the nature of a hero?

[It seemed to her as if it was more pointed than that.]

[Well, he does bring up a good point. After Anwick, Pearl had questioned ALASTAIR'S motives, only briefly. But this new mission of theirs, trying to bring the sun back... those concerns rose to the surface once again. She exhales heavily, with a slump of her shoulders.]

I'm not sure if we are doing the right thing anymore. [She shrugs and looks down at her lap.]

This was originally a conflict between humans and goblins. And we just came right into the middle of it all. Meddling, if anything. And it's only gotten us locked up... more than once.

[Gilgamesh's nonchalance—in both voice and behavior—do little to settle Riza's unease upon seeing his face display so proudly over the network once more. Despite Pearl's willingness to befriend him, Riza finds herself unwilling just yet to let down her guard around him.]

Perhaps you should share your own thoughts on the matter first.

no. they aren’t worth admiring. i don’t think that heroes exist.

what we’re doing here, it isn’t heroism. and what we’ve already done has crossed the line of the right thing. if the right thing exists, either.

it seems like you wouldn’t care, if everyone died here.

are you going to clean that up?

I don't think defining heroism matters.

If I think of something as heroic, or if someone else agrees or doesn't...that doesn't change that at the end of the day, I have to do what I think I can live with myself for doing, and that matters more than what anyone else thinks about it.

One man's hero is another man's villain, you know. It all just depends on which side you're standing.

[Heroes, villains...they all make a good story, in the end, and that's all that matters to Keats. He shakes his head with a smirk.]

Other than that, I don't really think true heroes exist. They're more often than not just concepts only found in fairytales and legends. People can have noble intentions and do heroic deeds, but nobody's without a bad bone somewhere in their body, you know?

[This is a complicated few questions to consider. And really, it feels like opening up a can of worms in the form of inviting everyone that can see this to have a story sharing session that thinly conceals everyone's need for a good therapist. ]

Everyone's going to have their own definition of being a hero. To me, it means doing whatever it takes to save someone. Even if it takes sacrificing yourself. There's nothing naive about putting someone else before yourself. Not when you're sure it's what you want to do.

[There's a pause, and she gives him a curious look.]

Or, well, she's starting to think so. You can't keep talking about heroes while denying you actually care about it before someone's gonna get an impression, Gil.
]

There's no point in saying they don't exist just because they ain't defined absolutely...that kind of answer makes it sound like you're afraid to commit. "It is but it isn't." "Maybe but not always." Isn't that boring, anyway? I think so.

A hero fights to make people happy. The ones I grew up with weren't even real, but...that's what they taught me.

Those who would perpetuate such a meaningless cycle, allowing for world after world to meet with its doom as though its inhabitants were nothing more than a drink to discard, are all those who I would wish to defeat.

Is it really possible to save everyone? Probably not. Even if you could be everywhere at the same time, you still can't be omnipotent. But as long as you try your hardest to work towards a goal that helps others, I think that's all you need to be a hero.

Why're you so interested?
All of us shouldn't be here, anyway.
This world probably was supposed to solve this kind of stuff on its own, but with us here, there's no way it's gonna grow the way it's supposed to.
No one really wins.
Besides, heroes do stuff like this on their own, they don't need some weird organization dropping them places.

( heroism--what a word that is. this post has her thinking for a long time about her own personal exploits and efforts on behalf of others, herself, her family, her city. in the end what she answers to isn't one of the many questions broached, but rather an intention that seems plainly to her to be communicated by this query. )

If you want to be amused at someone's expense, why not just ask for jokes? I know a few good ones.

promises_to_keep: (go on impress me)

[Lea doesn't look too impressed by this show. The lion is cool, but he thinks this guy is trying way too hard.]

So you deem yourself 'king of heroes', and then ask what makes a hero? Sounds to me like you're just looking for validation. [Yawn.] We all die, eventually, so saving someone now is really only prolonging the inevitable, isn't it? Why should it make you a hero to throw your own life away for somebody else? Especially, as in this case, for people you may not even know?

[Surely he believes there are greater goods and all that nonsense--he died for one of them already himself--but he certainly doesn't think that makes him a hero. He doesn't want the title.]

[He hits closer to home than Max expected, opening the video. Maybe that's what he was going for, and if so, it kind of worked. She's never felt like a hero, and she certainly doesn't feel like she fits in, but still, it's something she's thought about.

She really did like the idea behind the Everyday Heroes contest. It's a shame . . .]


We can't always save everyone, but that doesn't mean we can't be heroes. It just . . . depends on who you ask.

The meaning of heroism depends on the individual I guess.

Many in the kingdom back home considered myself and my comrades heroes even though we were criminals, ten years ago. I never quite understood that way of thinking but then again I don't understand most humans.

Eeh, last I checked, ALASTAIR didn't ask us to be heroes. We have a job, we can do it or not do it. Like you said, who knows how much ALASTAIR cares about this place. Last time we followed their orders that world was destroyed. Really heroic, right? [he sniffs dismissively]

... It would be really boring, though, if we sat around and did nothing.

What does 'heroism' mean? I guess....in the stories, and in the news and things you hear about people who risk themselves to save others. Maybe it sort of depends on the intentions, on how people view what happens, but. That's what I think?

[As if he or anyone else would consider any other sort of answer. In some ways, being so young, Sakura is still a little stuck in that black and white view, even if she is aware of the murky grey in between it.]

I don't know if any of this is really right or wrong, the way we're getting involved, but...our intentions, ALASTAIR's intentions aren't bad? We're trying to help, at least. If I see someone in trouble, I know I try to help.

[At the expense of her own safety and health, at times, with her chasing after the Clow Cards.]
