PLATONIC FRIENDS NEEDED!
Name: un: enkidu
Date: 11th
Format: text
[It takes a lot of time tapping this message with less fingers but Enkidu manages.]
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.

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.
no subject
BUT. I DON'T WANT TO MEET UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
THE "SKELETON" PART OF MY USERNAME... IT'S VERY LITERAL! AND AS REAL AND TRUE AS THE "COOL" PART.
[The 95 part, however... is a complete mystery. Does it mean he's 95% as cool as possible? Was he born in 2095? The world may never know.]
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T MEET MORE HUMANS.
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE PLENTY, WHEREVER LUNCH HAPPENS!
THE CITY IS FULL OF THEM.
THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM, FOR YOUR NOT-SHY, SOLITARY FRIEND?
no subject
[Is he from the underworld? An undead? Not that they haven't seen walking skeletons. No, not at all. They used to be quite common when their master took them for a mission.
But this one seems rather...well...cool.]
it is essential for humans to eat food but i love food as well.
also, my apologies for my friend's response. he seems to be rather proud of his conquering of women. it is that i know him well otherwise i would be questioning why he would share such information with you.
i hope you are still willing to meet him.
mix of text and video
[Past the text, he adds a quick video snippet of himself, in all his werewolf skeleton glory.]
Is it... Yes! Hello! I, the Great Papyrus, am the very cool skeleton self I am right now. I didn't use to have so much fur... But I'm still a skeleton, all the same.
[With that he returns to text - but if that snippet wasn't enough, he's also taking the moment to reply to Gilgamesh.]
HE SOUNDS VERY PROUD OF ALL HIS CONQUERINGS... AND A STICKLER FOR ACCURATE LABELING. I'M UN-OFFENDED!!
AND STILL WILLING TO MEET.
video & text
You are a very hairy skeleton but you do not look cold at all! The hair will prevent the cold from getting to you!
[They smile broadly. The response to their message is heartwarming.]
he does. i have taken notice of his reply. [A pause because Gil did mention something interesting there.] are you one of the hassan?
video & text
That's totally true! You're right: my bones don't mind cold, and fur keeps me warm anyway... It's a different kind of cool! One of style, and grace, and popularity.
[Let none say that Papyrus is too modest or humble to stand up to chatting with Gilgamesh, because they would be wrong.]
I'M SURE I COULDN'T SAY...
BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HASSAN ARE.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IN MY WORLD, THAN IN A LOT OF OTHER WORLDS.
AND EVEN THE THINGS THAT ARE THE SAME, SOMETIMES HAVE DIFFERENT WORDS.
text
[Oh, but Enkidu can explain Hassans to you.]
they are heroic spirits of the assassin class. most of them look like skeletons. one has a cursed arm. he is called hassan of the cursed arm. they are quite fearful.
since there are a lot of hassans, they come with more than just one.
[A pause.]
but i think gil is wrong, you are just a cool skeleton. and not a heroic spirit.
text
I LIKE TO THINK I'M A COOL -AND-HEROIC SKELETON.
BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, I'M NOT AN AVENGING SPIRIT. MORE COOL THAN FEARSOME. WITH NO CURSED ARMS OR ANYTHING
[Once, he might have said being a Turnskin was a curse. But he's worked a lot to accept the changes.]
AND GILGAMESH IS RIGHT! I AM FROM AN UNDERWORLD. EVEN IF IT'S A DIFFERENT SORT OF UNDERWORLD, WITHOUT ANY GODDESSES...
text
[Behold! Such knowledge in the hands of a divine clay person!]
it is no surprise to me that a skeleton comes from the underworld so yes, gil is right about that. i do not think a skeleton could walk amongst normal humans. humans would get scared.
i am not scared, though.

PAPYRUS, HE'S GREAT BECAUSE HE CARES.
[He never thought of that tagline back in the underground, but he very hopes he remembers it going forward. What a way to reassure any future young fallen humans!]
A LOT OF HUMANS DO START OUT SCARED... AND RELAX AS THEY GET TO KNOW ME. BUT NOT ALL! MY VERY FIRST HUMAN WASN'T SCARED, EVEN WHEN I THREATENED THEM. AND NOW YOU AREN'T EITHER!
[Maybe the common thread was that neither was a normal human? It's hard to say.]
