Track 05: Small Town

[princeofjunes]

ACTION: EVERYWHERE - ALL DAY - EVERYONE

[As Yosuke's settled himself into Mayfield, he finds one question gnawing at the back of his head.

Is this place really that bad?

Sure, there's the dronings and the weird things that happen, but day to day everybody's able to go about their lives - maybe even find things to do that make them happy. They bring bits and pieces from home and make connections with other people. They can even meet people they never would have at home. Does the good the people make in this town outweigh the bad the town tries to bring them down with?

He's curious. Also, it's a great excuse to take a day off and wander around the town, so that's exactly what he does - he sets out and walks, with no destination in mind]

(( OOC NOTE: He's literally just walking around town today, meeting people, talking to people, whatever. In your reply just note where they're meeting; the park, a store, outside someone's house. It doesn't matter where, just give me a heads up. Thanks! <3 ))

[Nope, still not making any sense to him]

Sorry, King-kun, I don't get it at all.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

The more recognition a heroic spirit has, the more powerful they are.

[princeofjunes]

[There's still only one thing he really gets - that Gil isn't a regular kid]

Can't you just start at the top, King-kun? I still don't really get who you are.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'm Gilgamesh, the hero king of Uruk, summoned to the future to fight for humans!

[princeofjunes]

O...kay.

So, in order: Where is Uruk, summoned by who, and to fight what?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Have you even looked at a map of the world or studied history?

[princeofjunes]

Yeah, and the last time I checked there's nowhere called "Uruk" on the map.

[At least, he's pretty sure - maybe he shouldn't have slept through all those history classes]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It's in between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

[princeofjunes]

Look, I slept through a lot of geography, but I really don't remember a country called that around there.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

That's because it's old. It can be found in Iraq these days.

[princeofjunes]

Hey, if it's not there anymore than don't jump on me about it!

So Uruk is in Iraq. Okay. So then who summoned you?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Tokiomi Tohsaka.

[princeofjunes]

[That... was way more specific than he was expecting. But okay. He'll roll with it]

And the thing you're fighting?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Other heroes like myself.

[princeofjunes]

... you know I'm going to ask why, right? Why don't you just tell me ahead of time and save us some time?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

It's usually over the Holy Grail but I'm not really interested in that.

[princeofjunes]

So what the hell is worth fighting over where you have ten billion different weapons?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

The Holy Grail can grant any one wish. Anything.

[princeofjunes]

[His jaw drops, and he takes a moment to collect himself. There's no reason to doubt Gilgamesh, but still. It's absolutely insane.]

And you don't want it?!

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Because I own everything in the world already. Why would I want something else?

[princeofjunes]

I, uh...

[Yep. No idea what to say to that]

Good... point?
