You'd ought have a good reason for calling upon me directly, Mongrel.
State your case and don't bore me--or there may be consequences.

[ magical weapons have become something of an interest to Vergil since he 'woke' to his powers--and while the magic side of his shop was only one small showroom so far--he was determined to grab up as many items he could to fill it. A magic sort of 'Excalibur' that got stuck in a stone? He was interested.

Even if Gil's own expression seemed to be one of vast annoyance --and thus, here they are.

In front of what looks like a group of cosplayers and try-hards in front of what very much does look like 'Excalibur' as Gil might remember from his vague past life memories. The blade is even glowing as it's stuck inside the giant rock. ]

...Here I expected there to be actual competition for this thing. But do not look to your left.

I believe those are supposed to be Arthurian re-enactors.

[ there is a buzzing annoyance forming at the corners of his skull

what had started as a small curiosity is rapidly developing into Something Stupid, and Gilgamesh only has so much tolerance for Something Stupid. the sword is familiar, at least, even if it's not... right. there's etching that doesn't work for it, and it seems almost blasphemous to see the blade completely unsheathed--like any moment, air should dance around it to conceal what it is

his fingers itch to claim it. the King had never had Excalibur--ever denied to him, one piece he could never obtain

and this his attention snaps back to the re-enactors because Vergil talks about them, and he finds himself muttering darkly. ]

They're all terrible at this. Artoria shouldn't be such a scrawny man, for one. [ the headache of a memory carving its way through his neurons and synapses is beginning to itch, and he brings a hand up to his temple as if he means to steady it ]

[ the head-turn that gilgamesh is gonna get from Vergil is very deliberate and quiet.

Just as is the STARE that follows. The pained, long stare. ]

I was aware that you and Waver Velvet had some sort of history, but I had thought it mostly one-sided trauma of a magical war including summoned mythic beings.

Do not tell me you, as well, have memory of this King Arthur as a woman.

...

No, I don't want to hear it.

cw for f/zero gilgamesh's weirdass thing for saber

[ he can't help it. he's gotta make it worse. he feels the stare and then slowly turns his head to meet it, red-slit pupil eyes meeting blue-slit pupil eyes, the soft sound of a woman vocalizing in the distance to mourn the innocence that Vergil will carry before Gilgamesh next speaks. ]

Yes. She was one of the mythic summoned beings. My past self was quite intent on taking her as a wife and seeing the despair in her face on his rose-petal covered bed.

[ there's a pause, as Gilgamesh really soaks in that memory, lip slowly coming to curl as he just... sits with that for a minute. really sits with it.

King Arthur the Lesser can continue to recite some bastardization of his legend while an uncomfortable quiet looms over GIlgamesh and Vergil processes some things. ]

[kowase]

[ well

Vergil's going to turn his head and just LOOK at Gilgamesh.
He's at least somewhat comforted by the fact that Gil's making A Face at the thought he'd just spoken out into the air, but... ]

Your past self has some ...personality quirks that were better off left behind in your new life. [ because he doesn't want to just outright say that was a fucked up thing to want to see on someone's face, gil ]

Ignore the babbling cosplayer. How shall we approach getting this sword out of its stone.
I do wish to add it to my collection, for its odd enchantment alone.
