[ 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. ]

[...He was a bit stung by that skeptic remark--it made him rethink his previous reply. Stranger things had happened, after all, so would it really be that surprising?]

...Forgive me, I didn't mean to question your sanity. If that's the case, then I'm very privileged.

I'll forgive you this time. Just try not to make it a habit, yes? Some people have a much more violent temper than I.

[ Why Gil, could you be bullshitting any more? Then again, he did always take a sort of pleasure in teasing people from time to time. ]

I do suppose this would be the proper time for me to see if you have any questions about this place.

[He's still not completely sold on the matter but...well, it's better not to upset these types of people.]

Thank you.

I--well, it was quite sudden when I arrived here. I'm still not quite sure how I ended up halfway across the world, but...

Well, first I suppose I should ask if you've seen someone. His name is Will, and he wears a blue coat. I seem to recall being with him before.

Yes, that would be the beauty of this place. It seems it can pull you from any place or point in time. I was technically dead before I arrived here.

[ And he's died since being here as well, but details, details. ]

I'm afraid I can't say I have. But people tend to have a habit of showing up when you least expect them, as well. I'm sure you'll find him eventually.

[Wait...what.]

...I must have misheard you. Could you repeat that?

[Lion was too caught up on that first bit to hear the second.]

...Which part?

[ Oops. Gilgamesh isn't exactly the most attentive, either. ]

...Nevermind, it's nothing.

I only thought I heard you say you were dead at one point.

Oh, that.

If you want to get technical, I've died three times since my birth.

Three times? H-how--?

[This makes no sense--first, claiming to be Gilgamesh and then saying he's died three times?! How can one even die more than once? So much confusion.]

[ Since when has Gilgamesh ever passed up the opportunity to talk about himself? Really.

He'll just casually lean back into his fancy couch, rubbing his chin in thought. ]

Let's see. My "original" death was around the hundredth and... thirtieth year of my rule over Uruk? I forget. It's been simply too long, you see. All natural causes. Man wasn't meant to live forever. I found that out the hard way, sadly.

The second time was ten years after being summoned back into the world to participate in the Holy Grail Wars. Oh, but I'm supposed to keep silent about that, huh? Like I really give a damn what the other servants of that stupid war say.

Anyways, that death was dealt my the hand of my... Well, a certain woman whom deserves my attention. A shame she still hasn't changed her ways despite being given life again in this land.

[ A slow pause. The third death... still kind of bothered him a bit. If only because of how helpless he was at that exact moment. ]

...The third death, occured in this very condo. Or should I say, outside it? That bastard threw me out my window. Not much one can do in that position when robbed of their treasury and abilities.

I think that such suffice for now, don't you?

[Lion silently sat through all of this and his expression went from shocked, to confused, then amused, and a little sympathetic.]

That's--that is far more than the average person could handle. I feel like I should commend you for it...

[Whether it was truth or not, he still wasn't sure, but, well...yes. Stranger things have happened since coming here. Then something occurs to Lion, and he asks somewhat hesitantly:]

You died recently as well? ...Are you, perhaps, a ghost?

[ Wow, Lion. Really.

Really?

Did you just seriously ask if... Oh boy. Gilgamesh's face has somehow contorted into both an amused expression and one of confusion. Somehow. ]

Did you seriously just ask that?

[ Excuse him while he laughs for a bit. ]

Allow me to explain another curse of this island. Though I suppose it may be a blessing to some. The concept known as 'death' does not exist here. Rather, if you are killed, you will find yourself alive again within a week's time. Although some are known to take slightly longer.

[Oh, he's laughing at him now?! Lion's not amused. How rude. This information unnerves him more than anything, though.]

An island unknown to death, is it?

I-I don't know whether that's a blessing or a curse, either. I hope I never have to find out. But if what you say is true, then...I don't suppose it's too farfetched for you to be who you claim to be--Gilgamesh. I won't doubt you on that.

[ But he laughs at everyone because he's the best... ]

Oh, I'm sure you will. Unless you're careful to stay inside your hotel room at night. Those shadows do like preying on the unsuspecting.

I'll be sure to do that, then. Thank you for the...advice.

[Or whatever it was--he got the feeling this person wouldn't be bothered if he did get attacked.]

And if you happen to need a body guard, feel free to call me.

[ Who is this Willard? Gil is obviously a better choice. ]

[Bodyguard what bodyguard Lion is clearly capable of taking care of himself /denial.]

If the occasion ever arises, I'll be sure to consider your offer.

Very well. I'll be looking forward to our next conversation, then.

[ He'll cut the call off with that, leaving a creepy smile to haunt the poor boy's thoughts for at least a few minutes. ]

[Well...that was an interesting encounter.

Oh and it worked Lion is gonna have nightmares for days thanks a lot Gil!!]
