[This is a bar post.

AKA

Gilgamesh is working at the bar. Well, working isn't exactly the word that could be used here. He's sitting behind the bar, reading a comic book with all the liquor set out on the bar free for the taking. Gilgamesh likes comic books, this is canon.

Maybe you're thirsty after doing some exploring on the new road and are stopping in. In that case, if you take a seat at the bar, Gilgamesh will glance in your direction but unless you've got something to say, enjoy the free alcohol. If you're someone he recognizes good at fighting, he's got a special surprise for you.

If you're underage...

...well, he doesn't care. This is how things roll in Ancient Sumeria.]

[And here's Red Mage, making an ostentatious and annoying entrance as usual.]

Good day, barkeep! I will have the roast lamb and a stein of mead!

[He reaches into his pocket, taking out some random amount of money and setting it down on the counter in front of him. His bills are crisp, new, and sorted by denomination.]

[Just.....staring at him.]

Get it yourself, fool. All that is available is in front of you.

I expect a discount for being made to do the work myself in an establishment typically known for serving its patrons. It's only fair, after all.

[Rules lawyers gonna rules lawyer. But he walks behind the bar anyway and starts filling up his drink, and then heads back into the kitchen to rummage around and look for meat.]

Tch. I do not need your money in the first place.

Free of charge? Even better!

[And RM comes around front with a glass of beer and a plate of food. It's not exactly rack of lamb, but he did manage to find some chicken wings and pickled eggs back there.]

How exactly does this establishment keep afloat if it can afford to give away money like this?

You really are a fool. I could give everything away for free in this rotten squalor of a town and still have more than enough money to purchase the entire world.

Ah, to have money like that... think of all the enchanted gear I could purchase! Truly, it would be living the dream.

[Raises his glass and takes a swig.]

Is that all? I own every legendary weapon that has ever existed in the world.

Really now? That's rather impressive. They must have taken a long time and endless fetch quests to collect them all. You even have Excalibur and the Masamune?

Excalibur belongs to Saber but I happen to possess its predecessor. As for the other, I possess all the famous swords he created.

And how did you come to possess so many ancient armaments of power? I'll bet you have quite a few stories to tell.

[Because what else do you do besides drink and eat meat when hanging out in what is essentially an inn? Tell stories of adventuring!]

From: [identity profile] kinpika.livejournal.com
I possess them all because I am the Hero King of Uruk, Gilgamesh. All the weapons you know as legendary belonged to me, the ruler of the world, during my existence.

Belonged as in the past tense? I take this to mean that you are now a ghost or some other form of spiritual entity?

[Shame Gilgamesh wasn't in original FF, or this would be amazing right now.]

I am a heroic spirit.

Allowed to continue to walk the earth even after death as repayment for your deeds in life? Something of that sort?

No. We live to battle for the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail... I don't believe I'm familiar with that legend.

Go read a book in the library for find a heroic spirit who wishes to tell the story.

Date: 2011-03-17 02:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] animalhusbandry.livejournal.com
The library is curiously devoid of tomes concerning any topic other than automobile repair.

Then you have one other choice.

Date: 2011-03-17 02:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] animalhusbandry.livejournal.com
It would seem so. This Saber you mentioned... I assume that name belongs to another heroic spirit like yourself?

Date: 2011-03-17 02:14 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] animalhusbandry.livejournal.com
Well, then, I shall inquire with Saber!

Date: 2011-03-17 02:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] kinpika.livejournal.com
Do anything untoward to Saber and I shall kill you.

From: [identity profile] animalhusbandry.livejournal.com
Not to worry, I only intend to ask about the Holy Grail. Even I recognize the importance in not picking fights with everyone I talk to.
