Chapter 02 ~ Video

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's broadcasting from a plane? That's right, it's everyone's favorite king. After the events of this thread, he's on a mission to track down THE BEST BLACKSMITH in the United States, which will probably take him several days but who cares. Before taking his leave from the island, he decided to stop by the library and gather various ancient texts to keep him from getting too bored on said flights. When the video flickers on, all those watching will see at first is a close up of 'The Holy Bible'.]

Someone, please tell me who's idea of a bad joke this is? This entire thing is filled with countless ripoffs of ancient Babylonian texts. The creation of Earth, the great flood, almost EVERYTHING in here. Did mongrels just see fit to steal and rewrite history for their own benefit? That's disgusting. And you wonder why I act the way I do. Furthermore...

[The view suddenly changes to another text. An extremely old and beaten looking copy of 'The Epic of Gilgamesh'.]

You mongrels didn't even include half of my life in this. It makes me seem like an absolute tyrant! I'll have you know after my dear friend's death and my failure to obtain immortality, I accepted my fate and became a fair and just king for the rest of my life. I helped construct many temples for the Gods, even eventually married and had a noble son who would continue serving the people after I had passed on. I also collected many treasures of the world, including the magnificent flying ark, Virmana. And yet NONE of this is mentioned. Trying to make a villain of me, hm?

TURN YOUR CELL PHONE OFF WHILE YOU'RE ON AN AIRPLANE, DUMMKOPF!

Do you want to die? Seriously!

[best-king.livejournal.com]

What the hell does that have to do with dying?

[Do you really expect Gilgamesh to listen to anyone...]

[soulsborderline.livejournal.com]

You're interfering with the pilot's instruments! Wait three hours like an adult and then bother us!

...There's countless rip offs of a lot of stuff here if you think about it. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to. I don't even know what those texts are or anything.

Books tend to do a lot of misinterpretations.

[video] forever because gil is way too vain

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Is that so? A shame. Humanity used to be very creative. I wouldn't be so annoyed by these texts if it wasn't for that fact that I know certain people believe this to be the truth. Only a fool would believe something that is merely a copy to be the truth.

[Oh. This.

This is that smug guy who was checking out all manner of mythological stuff earlier today.

Didn't think he was on this network!]

Sorry you don't like the books, but are you really trying to say you're someone from them?

[Man, how many conversations have gone this way already. He'll never learn.]

Of course I am. How else would I know what happens between the middle and ending? They skip from the snake to my death. This is clearly an injustice.

Where are you?

[ Dismissing everything else he's brought up to ask that. Isn't your not!waifu the nicest? ]

[Of course, who cares about these meaningless things when Seibaaaa is involved?]

Why? Do you miss me that much already?

[Totally.]

Please turn off your cell phone.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Seriously, what is it with you mongrels and your insisting I turn this stupid thing off?

[And that is what helps Jin put two and two together after their conversation from the other day.]

If I had known you were this delusional I would have simply ignored you from the start.

Re: [video]

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. Go ahead and join the crowd of naysayers. As if I give a damn. I know who I am and have no reason to prove it to any of you mongrels.

[nrvn-qsr.livejournal.com]

Just how big of a moron you are, Archer?

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Whatever do you mean, Saber?

[Lancer seemed to have had a vaguely similar idea, looking over the top of a hardcover collection of Celtic mythology at Gilgamesh.]

You aren't making a very good case for your sanity, Archer.

[video]

[best-king.livejournal.com]

I don't ever recall trying to make a case for it in the first place, Lancer.

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

Well, it's probably because you still act like a tyrant. I'd say that wasn't an unfair assessment.

Besides, a lot of cultures have a lot of similar stories. There are aliens who talk about stuff like that. Calm down.

[best-king.livejournal.com]

I am calm, woman. If I weren't, this plane would be in pieces already. [Okay, probably not. But he could just annoy everyone else on the flight. As if he wasn't already.

voice. because she likes being anon

[schmuckerbaiter.livejournal.com]

[video] just because watching an angry gil is probably the most amusing thing in the world

[best-king.livejournal.com]

[He can deal with your typical worthless mongrels without much concern. But insulting him like that? Oh, he mad.]

And just who the hell are you to tell a king to silence himself!?

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Oh shut up. Duty is the only reward you need, glory is fleeting.

Says the man conditioned to be the perfect fighting machine. You were probably spoon fed everything you believe in, weren't you?

[Allen's been having similiar ideas, checking on the history books. He's not surprised that there's no mention of the holy war, but the world wars worried him.]

...History are as subjective as their writers. They might leave things out if it's inconvenient.

[Video]

[best-king.livejournal.com]

Inconvenient? How is one's turnaround in life after going through such hardship inconvenient? I'll never understand mongrel logic.
