Second Rule

[prototype_king]

[Backdated a fair bit to just after this.]

[It had been a fun evening. The woman - definitely a woman, and not a girl - was a warrior of some at least noticeable capability. She was pleasant company, even in more casual clothes, the Palace district had good food, and even if she was clearly not used to spending a lot of personal time with a man, Gilgamesh was more than willing to overlook any awkwardness. It was kind of cute.]

[The problem arose much later in the evening, when they'd returned to the Palace Villa for a drink that Gilgamesh could have technically summoned from anywhere. At the end of the ensuing conversation...well, Gilgamesh got some news he's reacting badly too, going to the next room and getting out his book to yell at as many people as possible.]

[Video, and Action in Gilgamesh's apartment]

ON THE BASTARD SPIRIT OF GAIA, I SWEAR THIS NOW: NEVER ON MY EARTH IS TECHNOLOGY LIKE THIS EVER ALLOWED! It's too high a price to ask!

[He's going to be angry about this for at least a solid minute or two.]

Sorry. I really am. It's an intriguing offer but I can't sacrifice my powers. Not yet. I'd be reduced to a back-line warrior.

[prototype_king]

[Gilgamesh closes the book to at least attempt to make this conversation private again; however, given how he barely understands even 21st century technology, it's still recording.]

Tch. I wouldn't ask you to casually, and I'm not planning on picking up any new wives here.

[golden_wings]

You've had more than one wife? Well I suppose with your history and all, it's not surprising.

[prototype_king]

My history? Monogamy hadn't even been invented when I was alive.

[golden_wings]

Well that's what I mean, your upbringing and such. For me, well, it's different now I suppose...

*Here Gilgamesh, here's a kinda-half asleep Einhard who you woke up with the book.*

... What's going on?

[prototype_king]

......I'll tell you when you're older.

[Video]

[hegemonstratos]

... You're throwing a fit because something technology wise is keeping you from having sex with someone?

[Video]

[prototype_king]

Or maybe you're a very well-informed kid.

[needtobecleaned]

And what technology would that be that?

[ Video ]

[prototype_king]

[Looks down on the image. Now karma is just taunting him. Probably.]

Nanomachines, I think they're called.

[ Video ]

[needtobecleaned]

And what has the existence of nanomachines done to earn such an outburst?

[ Video ]

[prototype_king]

Prevented the most basic expression of love and admiration known to humanity and one of my favorite hobbies.

[super_woolf]

What's all this noise about?

[prototype_king]

On further consideration, it's no one's business.

But to be brief, nanomachines.

[super_woolf]

Guess I'll just hang out over here then, wondering what's wrong with nanotech.

[prototype_king]

Weaknesses that serve no logical purpose, in this case.

[puppy_lancer]

What are you talking about?

[prototype_king]

This isn't for you, mutt.

[puppy_lancer]

Well, then don't blare it out on video.

[phobophage]

What's this technology you're complaining about? I know there's been some moronic stuff invented.

[prototype_king]

Nanomachines that only work on virgins. There, I can get that out of the way at the beginning of the conversation.

1/2

2/2

[phobophage]

There're better things to key it off.

[prototype_king]

No shit.
