Comments

[originalhipster]

I would say a different one from what you're used to, perhaps.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

So I'm gathering. But I supposed I should be honored that you would come to greet me.

[originalhipster]

I am a king, so it is an honour. But I'm in quite a benevolent mood, too.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

[Why is he not surprised his double found himself royalty to fawn over him? Wonder if he comes with servants.]

Really. How benevolent?

[originalhipster]

[ha ha you have our relationship the wrong way round.]

Let's see, how benevolent ... I can see a lot of people staring, I wonder how many have remembered their manners. Care for a tour of this pathetic establishment?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

[How this happened will be a lovely tale to tell over beers one day.]

Why not? I hear it is overrun with weeds. It must be very charming.

[originalhipster]

It's certainly a poorly-maintained garden. Come along, then.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

[He suddenly feels like a dog being beckoned. Oh, well. Follows.]

As you wish.

[originalhipster]

[that's the usual way people find around me yes.]

Do you have a preference for dangerous things like your double?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Depends. How much do you like him?

[originalhipster]

[gosh I meant "do you want to go see some monsters" but okay we can go here]

I don't see how your answer is dependent on mine. Speak honestly.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

If you don't care for him that much I have a suspicion you'll leave me by some large fauna with teeth to get eaten.

And I'm just fishing for information about him.

[originalhipster]

[hmmm. carries on walking.]

I wonder if that would be the action to take if I didn't care for him, or if I did. There's a fine balance there.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

There is. But I doubt he plays a good damsel in distress.

[originalhipster]

My answer is "I will not leave you beside some large fauna to die". Is that helpful?

[it was pretty much designed to be as unhelpful as possible]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Quite.

Then, yes, I do have a preference for dangerous things.

[originalhipster]

Excellent. It would've been a boring tour if you didn't.

[leeeeet's gooooo outside there are dragons and stuff out here. Despite the clear dangerous nature of being out here he is about as relaxed as he is indoors.]

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Are you also the King of Heroes? I met someone who looked remarkably like you.

[He's a king with a helping of arrogance. Tyki imagines he'll probably die (again) with a smug look on his face even if there was danger.]

[originalhipster]

Oh, you met the King of Thieves.

[offers a light smirk over his shoulder.] He is my duplicate, somewhat like you have your own. I am Gilgamesh, king of the first civilisation.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Well, I suppose the 'king' is the important part of the title anyway.

[He nods his head as a way of answering the introduction.] And your paths in life are radically different?

[originalhipster]

No. But just altered enough to make a large difference.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Does it bother you?

[originalhipster]

Not at all. I will eventually destroy him, of ourse, but in the meantime he's excellent company.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Ah. No love lost then.

[originalhipster]

On the contrary, I'm very fond of him.
