voice test kind of maybe

[sumer]

I will not congratulate you on such a simple name. Even an imbecile would know the land from where I ruled the world. Your attempt at being clever was a poor one, foolish girl.

You know not to expect me to be mere entertainment for you. Leave that sort of nonsense to the others running around in this otherwise empty head of yours. If anything, you should be out and seeking entertainment for me. And make it quick; the penalty for keeping me waiting is a severe one.

Ever the rash one, aren't you?

[tamedthebeast]

[ A sigh. Oh Gilgamesh. ]

Your Majesty...

[ Tiiiired tone. ]

[sumer]

[ --This is a surprise. Whether or not it's pleasant, Gilgamesh still has to figure. Either way, it has been a long, long time since their last meeting. ]

And ever the brutish one you are, my friend. All these centuries have failed to change you. Do you know what sort of sorcery has brought me to this place?

[axeatyourside]

One must be as such, especially when your ideas are usually ill-advised and are need of revision. [Humbaba was still the WORST PLAN, sorry Gilgamesh. There's somethings you don't get to forget]

I am intrigued to know, I suppose.

[sumer]

[ No one ordered you to be exasperated with your king, Shamhat. ]

So even the likes of you are here. What business do you have with me, harlot? And don't waste my time.

[ Not that he was in any rush, really. ]

[tamedthebeast]

I have not been a harlot for eighty years now, Your Majesty.

[ Her voice is calm and cordial. ]

Are my King. I care for your wellbeing and currently you do not appear to be well. Something is obviously troubling you.

[sumer]

Hearing that from you is certainly a laugh.

[ Says the one who helped. ]

So even the one who brought you here knows nothing? Or... refuses to tell you. The people here seem to enjoy keeping secrets. Hm. How annoying. Perhaps I should start a campaign against these fools.

[axeatyourside]

Go to the Cedar Forest, you decided. There won't be consequences for killing the guardian there or anything.

[He denies all culpability on the grounds he initially tried to talk you out of it and that he is the greater dumbass between the two of them for you know, throwing that bull thigh at Ishtar.]

I misunderstood the reference made, my friend - I thought you spoke of further adventures had without me. The other things I understand well.

[sumer]

[ Only eighty? Then she had arrived here from further back in the past than he had. ]

I should expect as much from any of my subjects. What troubles me is that a girl-- no younger than you, most likely-- has dragged me here despite orders dictating the contrary. I, the king of all the earth, the greatest king to have ever lived, am at the mercy of some lowly peasant who could only fantasize about the power I hold. Of course it's obvious that I am troubled.

[sumer]

Those consequences were dealt with. I see nothing wrong with what had occurred.

[ Well, not necessarily dealt with in a good or efficient way, but they were taken care of either way. And as if he would give Ishtar more than she deserved-- though he did consider that thigh to be a sign of his generosity. ]

Many things have happened since then. Wars, more recently, for some petty vessel that failed to rival even the most mediocre of mine. It was purported to grant the wish of the war's victor, but that was revealed to be a lie. For now, I once again reside in this world in a body of flesh, watching a man go about a quest of sorts.

[axeatyourside]

[Sort of the opposite of good, all things considered]

Watching? [He snorts, the idea is frankly hilarious] Since when have you been mere observer, and what makes you so content to do so?

[sumer]

Well, not merely watching. Supervising would perhaps be a better term. Or even instigating things on occasion, just to see what he and the others around him will do. It's rather fun.

[ He lets out a low, short chuckle. Playing games with lesser beings was amusing. ]

[axeatyourside]

You sound so very bored, if that's what you have taken to in order to entertain yourself.

[sumer]

The gods do not roam around as much as they used to, so finding amusement of the same caliber is difficult. There is someone who has piqued my interest as of late, not unlike you had, but she resists me with great effort.

[axeatyourside]

Uh-huh. Honestly, if she's saying no, it is hardly worth the continued effort.

[sumer]

[ Enkidu stop judging his choices; it's unseemly!!! ]

She reminded me of you, if that helps you understand my reasons for wanting her.

[axeatyourside]

[Excuse you, he was made to calm your dick Gil. He is just doing his job]

You seek a pitiful second-best to me, my friend?

that icon is wonderful oh my lord

[sumer]

I would be hard-pressed to find another equal to you, Enkidu. I merely said she reminded me of you. You and she are alike, in a way, but not the same. Do not misunderstand me.

It's one of my favourites.

[axeatyourside]

I never said a second equal, I said second best. Anyone who says no to you when asked isn't worth even noticing any similarities we share.

[sumer]

Maybe I should. But there is a sort of thrill in trying to attain the unattainable, is there not?

[ Like immortality...! ]

mutual voice test combo?? \o/

[onceandfutureknight]

[oh Gil you have such a way with words.]

Worry not, King of Heroes, I am sure your well-tempered speech has provided your Mundane with ample motivation.

[She's not impressed.]

[axeatyourside]

On certain things, yes, but--

[Because that ended so well.]

sure!!

[sumer]

[ He is a poet do not mock him Arturia!! ]

So even you've come to greet me, Saber. And so it should be, that my words should move her to act. For her to do otherwise is to commit treason against me.

[sumer]

But?

[ He is wearing the descendant of that wretched creature as his trousers; who is the true victor now? ]

[axeatyourside]

--Remember when I first showed up because you were pursuing everyone's wives?

[That's petty and you know it Gil. Thankfully, you do make them look good.]
