Hi, everybody!
[A bright and jubilant face awaits you all on the network today. While some features of it may yet prove familiar—that golden hair, those red eyes, snowy white skin—others may not, such as that radiant smile. This is indeed Gilgamesh, looking about 5,000 years younger, and he's very happy to see you! He appears to be sitting on a mountain of Stuff in his room, that stuff being various things he's yanked out of the Gate. Looks like someone's attempted to do some spring cleaning.
Judging from the mess he's made, though, the degree of success he's had may be slightly questionable.]
It sure is exciting around here, huh? We're going to a new planet really soon, and I don't know about you, but I haven't visited too many of those. Guess that makes us real explorers now! Pioneers, even, like in the movies! I always wanted to visit space, see the stars, meet a few aliens...
[Gil dangles his little legs over the side of his bed, humming cheerily.]
What kind of planets have you been to? I mean, if you've been to any. Even talking about your home world would be fine! Me, I'm from Earth.
[Which wasn't too exciting, in his view, and by his guess most everyone was familiar with it already. Anyway, he should probably wrap this up, so—]
I'm looking forward to working with everyone for our super secret mission! Let's have fun and try really hard, okay?~♪ Bye-bye!
[A spirited wave, and... oh! He even blew a kiss. How cute.]

[What a mild spirit. This is probably lucky or something, but Shizuo's going to just quietly accept it either way. Who knows, he'll probably end up taking up Gil on that offer too. There's definitely a lot of things he doesn't know, he's pretty sure--moreso than usual, in a situation like this...
But at the recognition Shizuo perks up very faintly--count Gil as the first to actually recognize Ikebukuro by name so far here. Though the comment earns a brief and wry expression that nearly borders on a grimace.]
Ah, don't get too jealous or anything. It's too exciting, in my opinion...but when you live someplace like that your whole life you have to get used to it, so.
[Wow, just like that though...Shizuo blinks at the invitation, and wonders if spirits are usually so open about this sort of thing. It'd almost certainly be rude to turn it down, though?? And he doesn't really see why he would, anyway...]
You're right, it's entertainment--so most people that visit do have fun while they're staying, I guess. [His shoulders roll in a small shrug.] You've never been? There's a lot of good places there, yeah...I don't make a very good guide or anything, but I could probably find you somebody who is. --Though, everybody here's been telling me it might be awhile before we get back to where we came from? So it's probably going to be awhile before this can happen...
no subject
Too exciting?
[Well, that certainly sounded like a story, and Gil loves stories. He's almost tempted to pick Shizuo's brain for one right now, but in a sense the man's quite right—they'll be with each other for quite some time, so there'll be plenty of opportunities to hear him out later.
For now, Gil just nods, and decides to fill him in a bit more.]
Yeah, it's looking likely. We're taken from our worlds by a sort of freak accident, but finding the proper "coordinate" to send us back? Not so easy. I know a little about time and how it works, and it's pretty messy business. For now, we're stuck, but I wouldn't see it as a punishment or anything.
[His boyish grin widens, and one can practically feel his excitement over the feed.]
It's an adventure! And everyone loves adventure.
no subject
The explanation is appreciated, though, and he nods along slowly as Gil points out the finer details of--time, and home 'coordinates', and. Stuff. ...He thinks he sort of gets the gist of it, at least; better than before, which is probably an improvement.]
Yeah, I figure it must be pretty complicated shit. And accidents are always easier than trying to do something on purpose, or whatever...
[Wow look at you just smiling away, though. Shizuo returns it with a wry and significantly less enthused expression.]
Dunno, adventure's not really my sort of thing. It's not very quiet. But if you want to be positive about it that's probably what this is, that's true.
no subject
Oh, yeah?
[Gil's face gains a certain... shine of all a sudden. The mischievous sort that kids will often wear whenever they're up to something. And rest assured, he's up to something. He leans forward, cradling his necklace in his hands, and whispers to Shizuo like he's right next to him in the same room.]
Shizuo, this may be a little presumptive of me, but I bet...
[Wait for it, wait for it...]
...I bet I can make you love adventure.
no subject
...Well, okay, apparently it was. Gil leans in and Shizuo honestly very nearly leans into his own camera as well, eyebrows arching, as one tends to do in the face of imminent really secret information apparently? --Except that's it's not a secret at all, as it turns out. In fact, it's actually a challenge?? What a little punk...that is pretty presumptuous, wow Gil.]
Oh yeah? [Planting his chin in his hand, eyebrows arching even higher--] I bet you just made a bet you'll never win.
no subject
[It's a bet made in earnestness and good faith—unlike the bets of his older self, which tended to be dangerous and self-serving. Gil looks ever so pleased that Shizuo has accepted, and now it already seems as though the gears are turning. The words you'll never win have only served to encourage him in the opposite direction.]
Of course, that means we gotta figure out what I get when I win and you lose. What are you willing to pony up?
[...in fact, he's thinking so far ahead, he's basically considered the whole thing over over and won.]
no subject
He's just not an adventurous guy. But have it your way, man, have it your way...]
Ah, hey, making super early predictions like that is how losers end up losing. You've probably jinxed yourself now, good job. [SLOW DOWN SPIRIT KID...but wait, oh. Shizuo blinks, frown deepening a bit.] What have I got, though? I don't know...? I hadn't thought that far yet.
[Shizuo glances around off-camera for a moment, as if an answer might suddenly materialize in his surroundings. Unsurprisingly, one does not. Oh well..]
I haven't really got much of anything right now. So, uh, I guess--a free favor or something? Yeah, if you win I'll do something for you, whatever that ends up being.
What about you though, what have you got? Since you've gone and jinxed yourself into losing you might as well start planning in advance here.
