[After that debacle at the Smith's and punching his own lights out, shame and embarrassment greatly set in on the proud man. How many people saw him in that condition after all? When the postman said he had something for him, Gilgamesh put on his angry face and walked his bum over to the post office.

And lost his left eye along with quite a bit more for his trouble. But got back something in the process.

Driven half insane by the pain and the need to remain prideful, the blood coming from his missing eye and mouth makes him look like he fought his way out of an asylum. Oh, but he's laughing and enjoying every second of it. If you catch him walking down the street, well...]

Hahahaha! Foolish mongrels! Perfect proof that this king cannot be held back by mere mortal limitations is standing before you! Those who dare, come forth!

[Fair warning: Action threading may result in violence/death. Just pop in the subject line that you don't want that, have limits, or are chill with it and I'll be cool with it. LANCER, FATE, AND SABER ARE GUARANTEED VIOLENCE.]

[A small smile.]

Are you the same Gilgamesh of the stories? Or are you a different version, unknown to mankind?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I am the very same one.

Ah, then let me be more clear upon this...

You were created by the gods. You ruled Uruk. A man was created because of your mistreatment of your subjects. When that man died, you sought eternal life from those who were said to have survived the flood; you were denied it.

Despite any strength you have beyond them, if you can die, you are better than no man.

Aah but you are wrong on two counts. First, eternal life was granted to me through my own exploits. Second, I have obtained the Holy Grail and had my wish granted.

Your own exploits? But not by the gods? I find that makes my point still stand in many ways. The gods did not find you worthy, and so you move to outskirt them. But this has never worked for any man. The gods will catch up to them eventually. Death will come to all in time.

My own exploits. Immortality can only be granted through the making of a legend. I have survived history so far and I will continue to do so.

And the gods can be damned. With my Star of Creation, even they stand no chance.

There was a man in my time. By crossing bodies he hoped to gain immortality. But by his own desire, he was eventually felled.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

What a fool. If he wanted it badly enough, he would have made an impact in history to gain his place among heroes.

Being remembered for all time, and immortality, are two separate things.

I feel as if I should advise you to be careful of your pride. There is a saying, "Pride comes before the fall."
