recently my truest friend has been summoned from the mirrors but for now he lacks platonic friends to spend time with. he has been living a solitary life as a king and i do not want him to be alone anymore.

his name is gilgamesh. he is very fond of his treasures and also knows the greatest stories about them. he enjoys wine as well. he is great to spar with and likes to go on adventures. his favorite color is gold. once he introduced me to beer and bread and allowed me to eat and drink everything i wanted.

would people like to become his platonic friend? or another sort of friend? as i know that many sorts of friendships are possible.

let me know if you have questions or want to meet him. he can be a bit fussy at first but please do not let it get to you. he has been alone. for a long time.

There is no way in this world or any other he actually knows you went and made this post.

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

i don't think so either.

even though chances are big he is reading this.

have you taught him how to use the device? does he know about these?

[There's a long pause before the next message arrives.]

Your dedication to your friend is truly admirable, Enkidu.

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

he is my only and truest friend. he deserves it.

do you want to be his platonic friend as well? he is of the archer class. i would like it to spend time with you both.

[thejoyrider]

[Did someone say friends]

Gladly! When can
I meet him?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

i am have anticipated your reply, marie!

we can come visit the theatre together. or i can invite you over for coffee, wine and milk. i will invite gil as well.

That's a really nice gesture but he's a kind of mongrel. Are you sure it's a good idea?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

gil can be arrogant and cruel. i know that very well. but does that mean he does not deserve platonic friends?

un: shinykagari

[recklessbelief]

i'm underage so i can't drink or anything, but
i like adventures and stories!

and it's okay if he's a bit of a jerk
being alone makes people not act very nice sometimes
but i bet i can get him to smile and laugh! i'm pretty good at that! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

btw what's your name? is it the same as your un??
i'd like to be your friend, too!

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

you cannot drink because of your age? humans need water to survive, not?

[This goes way over their head, really.]

my friend has made many sacrifices in his life and he has never had other friends besides me. and i have learned that there are more friendships than just one. you seem very kind and patient. even though i must warn you, gil has a loud laugh.

also, i have never seen such an emoticon. i am intrigued.

[The second message arrives a couple of minutes later.]

my name is enkidu. my un is enkidu, not un.
i would like that.

un: Hresvelg

[unyieldingmarch]

So he's arrived, then?

How fortunate for you.

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

he has. at times i find myself looking twice at him to be sure that he is still there.

do you want to meet him? you are my closest platonic friend. and he is my truest friend.

[oathkeeper]

i dunno about all the beer and drinking stuff but i'd be more than happy to make new friends and to spar with them! it's been hard to get used to fighting without my usual skills but it's a fun challenge too! i wanna see how much i can do now! how does he fight? with a sword?

[Isn't beating each other up for fun one of the best ways to make new friends?]

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

you need to drink to survive. water will do as well.

that is a familiar feeling. we all have to change our methods one way or another. my friend belongs to the archer class, yet he can fight with every weapon. he is quite strong. i think he will be able to give you quite a challenge.

i take it you have much experience with fighting?

HELPING YOUR SOLITARY, SHY FRIEND MAKE MORE FRIENDS...
WHAT THOUGHTFULNESS! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ACT OF FRIENDSHIP!!!
I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP.
BUT. IT'S EASIER TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR FRIEND'S FRIENDS...
(AND HE MIGHT BE SHY, MEETING STRANGERS...)
SO LET'S NOT STOP THERE.
I'M HAPPY TO BEFRIEND THE BOTH OF YOU!!!

MAYBE WE COULD MEET OVER FOOD...
AND TELL STORIES ABOUT TREASURE, AND ADVENTURE.

[It's just after the full moons, and he's still a little dog-brained. And hungry.]

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

gil has lived a solitary life, yet he is not shy. he is quite outspoken.

but your enthusiasm makes me happy and i think it will have a positive effect on gil as well. i am glad you have contacted me, coolskeleton number 95.

you are very welcome to become my platonic friend as well. i would like to meet more humans. and eat more food.

[Really, the mention of food makes everything even better.]

we could eat lots of food. i am fond of food.

Wait, his name is Gilgamesh? Like from "The Epic of Gilgamesh"? Ancient demi-god king of Uruk? That sort of deal. That's his name?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

yes, his name is gilgamesh and he is known as the solitary king of uruk. you know of his story? i am sure he would love to hear that.

[A couple of minutes later a second message arrives.]

i am glad to know you still remember him. that he has left such a mark on humankind.

un: saber

[arturiarex]

I would suggest he curb his arrogance if he wishes to make friends.

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

there is more to him than his arrogance. yet i can understand that it is something that is difficult to overlook.

but perhaps you are able to look beyond that and you can become his friend, saber.

[Wait... what's the difference between a truest friend and a platonic friend?]

its really great that your friend showed up here too! [After everything... maybe it should be bittersweet but by this point Yuya can't help but envy people whose friends are trapped here with them.

Even if he can guess that said friend probably wouldn't want an embarrassing solicitation for companionship on the network. Enkidu means well.] ill be welcoming if i see him

[...]

is truest friend the way you say boyfriend?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

[There is a lot of difference between that, Yuya!]

i am so happy to stand at his side again. at times i wonder if it is truly real. i would like to introduce you to him, yuya. also, i am glad you are well.

[Hmmm...]

he isn't a boy anymore. but he is my friend. man friend would be a better way of saying it.

[seemstressed]

<sub>[Wew okay. This is definitely...kind of sad, but also kind of sweet. Maybe spiced with a bit of pathetic. Not on Enkidu's part but the part of this Gilgamesh character. Still, Tataru's not going to turn down the opportunity to meet what seems to amount to an interesting character of sorts. Stories, treasures and wine. Those are all things she sees no problem with being fond in.

Besides, Enkidu had been quite sweet when they'd shared that dessert together. Why not help out?]</sub>

The hermit sort can be a bit difficult to deal with. What about him makes him your 'truest friend'?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

[Tataru, they would love to introduce him to you but please do not call him pathetic to his face :(]

quite difficult. [Well, a lot of difficult. But it is so very important to them that he finds other friends. Of course, they would always remain his first and truest friend but they have learned that there are other ways to interpret friendship.]

i am his first friend and he is my first friend. therefore we are true friends. we have had many adventures together. we have slain beasts and found many treasures. i have never left his side.

[Well...until their life ended and their soul disappeared.]

[showsnopiety]

You're very kind to him to make such a gesture.

[And a little mischievous.]

But it seems there may be some confusion if only due to modern slang. May I assist you?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

of course i am kind. he is my friend. i do not want him to grow lonely again.

[Oh?]

yes you may.

reaction;;;; not here!

[gilgamess]

[ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENKIDU YOU ARE SO LUCKY YOU ARE YOU. HE HAS ENDED LIVES FOR LESS, YOU KNOW. ]

[VIDEO, ya slugs ]

[gilgamess]

[ he does not look so angry as you might expect, by the time he actually responds. let's just say he Processed For A While.


Enkidu is definitely abusing Enkidu privileges here.

so, sup, mongrels. he is even smiling. but not the nice kind of smile. ]

It seems I, the King, must put a stop to this nonsense before these mongrels continue to embarrass themselves. How troublesome of you to give the peasant masses a false impression of my needs and desires, Enkidu, but I shall set this aright.

Listen and attend, all you beings! I, the first of all kings, have no need of friends nor companions, save one. To suffer others' presence may be necessary in this new world, yet such shall not occur more than is required.

If you think you can ever be close to me, you are a fool. In five millennia I have had only one friend and only one friend shall I ever have.

If you wish to serve me and render payment unto my greatness, be on your knees at once and offer 1,000,000 gold coins to begin the process of restocking my vault. Such tribute I shall accept.

Otherwise, do not trouble me!

[ GIL OUT. ]

So you two aren't platonic friends, then?

I'm glad you have someone here, Enkidu. It's very lucky to have a true friend here.

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

no. we are true friends. of all the friends i have, gil is my dearest and closest friend.

i have many friends, louis. i have recently discovered this and it makes me feel quite happy. they are quite valuable to me.

I'm a simple woman. I hear the word sparring, I'm interested.

King of what, if I may ask?

un: enkidu

[enkidoh]

i will let him know. yet, my advice is not to pay attention to what he might say.

gil is the king of uruk. observer of humanity. and my friend

[Did they tell you he's their friend? Probably, yes, but let them do it again.]

voice;

[scatmaam]

No offense to you, child, but I've met this truest friend of yours and I can say with absolute certain we'd come along like oil and water, so I'll spare us both the headache and just decline...

voice

[enkidoh]

I am not offended. I would like it to introduce my platonic friends to my true one. But I also understand that Gilgamesh is quite fussy. [Very fussy, to say the least.]

And apparently others have had bad experiences with him. [A sigh.] I wish he would come to embrace humans more. That he would see them as his equal instead of mere mongrels.

[But it cannot be helped...]

yes. it is one of the sacrifices he has made in order to protect humanity's future.
