Who: Slick
When: Day 51, Morning
Where: Baths!
What: murder! and i guess bathing

[idk what YOU are doing, but slick has gotten tired of being holed up and has headed downstairs to clear the baths of any renegade bathmonkeys so that he can then enjoy himself in a warm hotspring

he is still at the part where here is trying to stab the suckers though]

How could there even be this many...

I would have you face your nature. I do not believe that is condemning you to misery or abandoning you. And I know better than all that if you constantly deny the gods, the stakes grow higher and higher . . . would you rather me wait until she tries for something I would rue losing?

This is my nature, Gilgamesh. I reject what I do not desire.

[sigh]

You may be set on it, but don't take this the wrong way; I'm not convinced you can even scratch her. With me or anyone else lending you power.

Everything that can take shape can die in it. One way or another. It is just a case of finding the proper route.

You could still start with someone else.

I am naturally inclined toward starting with the one who started with me.

She doesn't want to kill you.

But I want to kill her.

[duh.]

So you are still the one taking this to a level that is making you so unhappy.

I wonder if the individuals she sends would prefer me to kill her or them.

I don't think either of us really care very much about that.

They will care. I am fairly sure it they and their friends will care immensely, and it will cause a huge, annoying mess, and I have been refraining from murder due to that up until this point. In every sense but for you having the audacity to stand in my way it makes more sense to take my grievance directly to the source.

And you don't think killing a god will make a huge, annoying mess? That there aren't people here already loyal to them, that the other 20 or so other gods here won't come after you and what you care for? What possible motive could they have to let you kill one of them and then meekly go on about their existence? Didn't you already walk this road, your majesty?

Either I will destroy them and claim mastery of this world or I will not. Everything starts somewhere. I don't fear things I have already seen.

[ugh

just

sigh. honey]

[shrugs lightly.]

[THAT IS THE SHRUG OF 'I KNOW THIS IS STUPID BUT I HAVE TO BE ME'

uuugh leans out of the bath to dig through his pants and find a cigarette. absently offers Gil one]

You don't fear what you've already seen, hm?

[accepts it, why not.]

No, I don't.

Very well, then.

[lights up and then holds out a light for you]

There is one direct solution to this problem, but it requires you unlocking your heart.

[leans in to light it, then ... makes a mildly confused face]

Hmm?

I've always found it annoying that you complain that I haven't 'faced my nature' because I've rejected my sorrow, when you've been so completely overwhelmed by your own nature that you had to completely shut down part of yourself.

If you embrace your own capacity for love again, I will cancel my arrangement with the goddess, and you can do whatever you like with my full support.

. . .

[did you just make emotional healthiness into a competition. just. processing. i'm sorry what.]

[SURE DID SUCKER

go ahead and think i will smoke]

[you know what. I will smoke too. properly. while I think this over.]

It's an interesting proposal.

[god i'm not even sure if I wanted you to actually consider it, saah, smoke]

It would certainly not be boring.

. . . challenging a king is serious, you know.
