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.

BY WHICH I MEAN DIE!!
DON'T EVER ASK THE KING OF HEROES TO ADJUST HIS STANDARDS FOR THE WEAK AND THE PITIFUL SUCH AS YOURSELF!! IT'S FORBIDDEN!!
MEASURE UP OR PACK IT UP!!
THOSE ARE YOUR ONLY OPTIONS!!
...
SO THERE!!

IF YOU WERE REALLY THE KING OF HEROES, YOU WOULDN'T NEED PEOPLE TO DIE TO MAKE FRIENDS!!!!! THE BEST FRIEND YOU CAN EVER HAVE IS THE ONE THAT ACCEPTS YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE, AND WANTS YOU TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!
AND YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE A REALLY GOOD FRIEND!! BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I DON'T SEE YOU DOING???
TRYING!!!!!!!
LOOK AT HOW LAZY YOU ARE!! I DIDN'T MENTION IT EARLIER BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE POLITE, BUT YOU EVEN MADE A MESS WITH YOUR DRINK!! IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF BLEACH TO GET THAT OUT OF CARPET!!
MOVING ON!! I'VE DECIDED NOW... I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE MYSELF TO BE YOUR FRIEND. YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF... TO BE MINE!!!!!
JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL TAKE IT FROM MY HANDS

Well then! If that settles that!
You can start by helping me make some spaghetti. I make it for all my friends. It's okay if you don't know how. I can teach you!

I'm not making you anything, we're not friends, and we never will be. Give up.
no subject
Oh, I should ask too! What's your name?
no subject
Gilgamesh. King Gilgamesh, if we're prefacing with titles.
no subject
Alright... King Gilgamesh!
I'll get the ingredients, so don't worry about that! I'll come find you once I've got everything together! Also, you can call me any time, if you need to!
