[ Another video transmission starts. This time, you'll find Gilgamesh in all of his glory chillaxing on one of his gaudy looking couches, sipping the red wine he loves so much. You may notice he seems more interested in it than what he's actually talking about. ]

It's come to my attention that some of you mongrels are uneducated about who or what Gods are.

You see, in ancient times, the Gods existed as a means to explain why seemingly random things happened in the world. Floods, drought, blizzards, all sorts of works of nature were believed to be the work of various Gods. Everybody civilization dreamt up different sets of Gods to explain things they simply could not. That's pretty much all they were, originally. And then those poor mongrels thought, maybe if we offered things to them, they'll bless us instead of cursing us. Thus, the worship of the Gods began. The earliest kings were even considers Gods due to how much good they did for their people.

The truth is they are all pretty much worthless and you should discredit them all. Especially those that are still worshipped in this age. I've done my fair share of research, and the Gods are now being abused as means for the various governments of the world to rule over the easily influenced sheep of the world. It's sad, really. To think humanity has fallen so low.

[ After a bit of a pause, he sets the finished glass of wine down and actually turns to address his audience. ]

Ah, but I probably gave the impression that Gods never existed, didn't I? That's not entirely true. I'm living proof that at some point, they did live. I suppose if you want to worship a God, I would be the best choice. I'll happily accept any offerings you wish to pile at my feet. I am, after all, the greatest Hero and King to have ever existed. And I am obviously a better choice than these so called "Goddesses", since I'm real and can actually give you kingly advice. You would be stupid to not choose me over them. Of course, you're free to do whatever you wish. I will not be the one to force your hand. I trust you'll do what is right in the end, won't you?

[ And he'll end the video with one of his charasmatic smiles, as if he's actually trying to sell himself. ]

You do. How many times do I have to remind you? Everyone around us on this damnable island is a mongrel until they prove themselves otherwise.

And I suppose that works.

[heavenscorpse]

I guess you and I just have have to disagree, because you're stubborn and I'm even more stubborn.

[king_of_heroes]

...

Point taken.

[heavenscorpse]

I had fun during this Shadow's week. Did you?

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

Mistaking you for a daughter isn't exactly what I would call fun.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Why not?

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

Because it means this island has the ability to affect our own memories.;

I want you to think for a moment about just how scary that is.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

I didn't feel a lot different. I know you're not genetically related to me.

[king_of_heroes]

While I admit the idea isn't too horrible in itself, I don't like some unknown party being able to influence my mind. They could drive us to do less than favorable acts.

...If someone ever makes me do bad things to you, I won't get mad at you for whatever you do or say, even if it's not my fault.

[ Damn it, V/V. ]

T'ch. As if I'd lose that much control of myself. I would never do anything to harm you so long as I'm the one in control of my body. You wouldn't be any useful if you were harmed, now would you?

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

No, I wouldn't be. Thank you anyway - it means a lot to me.

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

You always will be a strange one.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Yes, I will.

[Video]

[king_of_heroes]

I'm unsure if that's a good or bad thing anymore.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

What did you think it was before?

[king_of_heroes]

Honestly? It could've gone either way.

[heavenscorpse]

I'm glad you like me a little better now. I was sad when I thought you hated me.

[king_of_heroes]

I don't hate anyone. I find generally everyone unworthy of such emotion from me.

[heavenscorpse]

But I thought you did. I must not have known you well enough.

[king_of_heroes]

That's pretty much it.

Can't really blame you. Nobody does.

[heavenscorpse]

I'll learn.

[king_of_heroes]

That's all you have been doing since you arrived here, is it not?

It is rather interesting. You've picked up on more things in your few short months here than most do their entire lives.

[heavenscorpse]

Thank you, Gilgamesh.

[She likes all these compliments he gives her.]

[king_of_heroes]

No need for thanks. I'm merely making an observation.
