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.

Your dedication to your friend is truly admirable, Enkidu.

[thejoyrider]

[Did someone say friends]

Gladly! When can
I meet him?

[boneofsword]

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

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!

So he's arrived, then?

How fortunate for you.

[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?]

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.]

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?

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

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.]

🤗 and 😫

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.

[sealeted]

If I dared offer him tips he'd ridicule me for presuming to offer enlightenment to a vaunted being such as himself or something longwinded like that, so...

No way. He's savvy with a lot of odd things, so I'd be surprised if he hadn't picked up the knack quickly.

Enkidu, stop being cute, you're probably in trouble.]

Somehow I can't imagine him using expressive emoji. Maybe if they have sparkles or objects, though.

[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.

[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]

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

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: 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.

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?

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.

[oathkeeper]

hahah yeah water is a thing but i'm passing on the beer!

but wow he can fight with every weapons? that's really cool. now I really wanna see what he's like.

i fight a lot back home, yeah! my weapons can change shape so i know a few ways to fight but it's a little harder now without my usual magic on top of that! so far so good though!

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: 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.

[unyieldingmarch]

That would be more up to him than I.

But I would, as he's important to you.

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.
