Mun is making eyes at arcanarum

[axeatyourside]

I should have no objections to being active again if your proposal was not so set on making me with interact with death. Not only after you suggesting that you pull me from the underworld, but to design me as Achilles? The only word I can find is insult, but that is such a grave understatement that I almost dare not use it. To suggest that I become a man who mourns for his suddenly slain friend - as Gilgamesh once did for me - sickens me.

You are not funny, you are not being ironic, you are being as cruel as any other of the gods Uruk bows to. Cease this, and reflect on a better place to house me, or leave me be entirely. There are no other options.

ATTACH TO ALL THE GILGAMESHES LIKE BABBY SLOTHS!

Simple litmus test: is it better or worse than what I have already described, my friend?

Pansexual Sumerians > Everything else

[axeatyourside]

You did not hear the things I shouted on my death bed. Had you, you would not make such statements.

Things were too short.

[axeatyourside]

I'm you, after a fashion, you should be foolish to hope otherwise.

You're being selfish, of course, on the first point. Hardly a surprise. But are you ever not bored?

Food is always important though.

[axeatyourside]

I'm here. Of course you aren't.

And repeat how I was used to punish us both for the combination of Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven? My friend, there is being selfish and then there is being cruel.

Well, Gilgamesh. ENKIDU SMELLS YOUR BS BRO.

[axeatyourside]

You cannot possibly expect that to work on me.

It is impossible to fool your second self, Gilbutt. Stop trying.

[axeatyourside]

Truly! Your opinion of my intelligence hurts.

Do tell me of their attempts.

Nope keep trying bro.

[axeatyourside]

That's a poor joke - you're two-thirds divine!

I would much rather hear your stories first. Your obscuring is grating - when have you ever been indirect with me?

Only if you have a nice basket to carry me in

[axeatyourside]

Perhaps the one I've been experiencing in death is more interesting. [he's teasing. Seriously. Ereshkigal's realm blows.]

Ah, it does, but it raises questions - that of who is responsible and your own feelings on the matter. When have you ever bowed to greater powers?

i ... don't even know how she popped up

[tamedthebeast]

Enkidu. Be wary of your words. The gods are omnipotent.

O_____________________________________________________O

[axeatyourside]

I believe at this point in time, the risk is minimal.

subtle

[tamedthebeast]

Ishtar is still cruel, Enkidu. And she's no stranger to the dead.

sshhhh i'm still screaming into a pillow.

[axeatyourside]

That story was once, and Gugalana's mourning has ended.

I know, the walls are thin

[tamedthebeast]

[ A sigh. ] Then you are well?

I just. Most unexpected muse ever in BEST WAY POSSIBLE omfg.

[axeatyourside]

Well enough, all things considered. And you?

I love my obscure lit chars

[tamedthebeast]

I am content. Gilgamesh is a good king, and Uruk is prosperous. [ Gilgamesh still misses Enkidu, and Shamhat feels the same way. ]

I have always loathed that she never comes back after introducing Gil and Enkidu.

[axeatyourside]

That is a terrible answer. I did not ask after Gilgamesh, I asked after you and you alone.

there's a manga that says she taken by Ishtar and then stolen by another god

[tamedthebeast]

...

...

I miss you dearly, Enkidu.

Whichever is on hand works for me.

[axeatyourside]

But playing the game might kill the tedium. And it does sound tedious.

I can imagine that you don't need the help.

.......d-do you have a link to this because Reasons?

[axeatyourside]

[Well that's the more honest answer, at least.]

The sentiment is equal on my end. Do you still serve the gods though, given all that has happened?

Yume no Yume on Mangahere.com

[tamedthebeast]

No. I am kept by Ishtar.

You are magical and I love you.

[axeatyourside]

By choice or force?

Hee

[tamedthebeast]

To be kept was not by my decision, and even after my refusal, she bound me to her side.

*brings in blanket, fluffs nest.*

[axeatyourside]

[But. You won't be booooooooooooored Gil. Why emphasize the perfection over no longer bored!] You might say that was my purpose.

[a Thought occurs] Ereshkigal's piss don't tell me you're back to why I had to be created in the first place.

*settles in to read eeeeee*

[axeatyourside]

What.

they changed Shamhat's name, though.

[tamedthebeast]

Ishtar has never stopped holding hatred towards you, Enkidu. She was not pleased to learn one of her favorite disciples had fallen in love with you.
