[ 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. ]

But Gilgamesh, it would be strange to worship you since we know each other so well, wouldn't it?

...Can I ask an unrelated question now that you're available?

And what if someone have no reason to worship you? They went on with their life?

Does the Dark Hour extend at all past Prospero? You're the only person I know who has left Prospero for a significant amount of time.

I can help you sort through your offerings if you get a lot of them, though.

[It takes Lion a while to figure out how to work this blasted futuristic technology and everything, but eventually he manages a reply.]

Umm...I'm afraid I don't quite know what you're talking about, and it might be a bit bold of me to say this, but...isn't it a little brazen to claim yourself a god to be worshipped?
unknownrival: (Understanding)

Hm. Thank you for the confirmation - I appreciate it.

You might have competition. Other than the Three the former senator mentioned, there's also the various denominations of Christianity.

[He's more familiar with Catholicism, due to the Order's influence.]

I guess I'd know if I knew any mongrels.

We can just make it a part of my job.

Really?

You're really trying to make this about you?

Really?

I feel sick for actually agreeing with you for the first minute and a half there.

[... You know. As a newcomer, he had been suspecting he didn't know much of what was going on. But this sort of post, with information he did not know and someone claiming to be better than a goddess?]

[Well, he can't resist talking to him, now can he?]

The first part of your message is very true - and where I'm from, the part about the government using religion to control people is also happening.

But who are you to demand worship?

'Divine blood...?'

[He looks thoroughly puzzled, here. Those names sound vaguely familiar, though he can't pinpoint what they're from. He hums a little.]

I think I see--you're a descendant of godhood, then?

[Or just deluded--but he's trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.]

Worship is such a strong word...
