Season 51, Week 2
Gilgamesh
(Final Fantasy V)
 
So it's up to Gilgamesh to be the welcoming party for the newest addition to Godlike, is it? Well, Isolde wouldn't be Gil's first choice of opponent, but he's certainly willing to give it the old college try. Most of his PC killing status tricks will sadly be completely useless here against the professor and her Mana, but he still has one very solid advantage in his court, and that's his blistering speed. If he can get the stat busting Sonic Wave to stick, and nothing where he's from can stop it, then he might be able to overwhelm with his speed and scratch out a win. If not...well, this is Gilgamesh! He never gives up until...he finally switches sides and blows himself up to take out your enemies. Okay, maybe not the best example, but still, he never gives up!

My, my, the lows a professor has to endure. Isolde and her gigantic Mana certainly can't complain about landing in the Duelling League's highest division, but surely they could've come up with someone better for her debut than Chisato's eight-armed buttmonkey, couldn't they? Oh well, this is no difficulty. With her surprising resilience, Isolde can certainly take Gilgamesh's paltry sword strikes, and she can answer to them nicely with her own Sword Creation. Meanwhile, his parlor tricks and pathetic little games will be useless against an accomplished alchemist such as Ms. Schelling. Even his survival tricks won't let him eke past her mighty magic, and, if he starts getting funny, a Pile Bunker will put the Behind The Scenes freak back in his place.

"So, you meant to say..." Zeppel confusedly eyed his teacher colleague as she absentmindedly shuffled through the flasks.

"What?"

"I asked how that weird fight thing you were invited to went. You seemed to start saying something but suddenly stopped."

Isolde let out a slight chuckle. "Oh, you mean that. It was actually pretty simple. The judges decided I'd give him a class assignment for the match instead. Bizarre, but I honestly don't care. The fighting would have been a waste."

"Oh!" Zeppel retorted. He seemed rather surprised, actually. "So, what happened?"

"I simply asked him to retrieve a living Teddie Bear from a certain ghost. I guess you can deduce the rest from there. Now, please leave. You're breaking my concentration."

With that, Isolde turned her back on her nosy work colleague. Zeppel, as he left her quarters, shivered a bit. "So cold..."

What happened was really rather predictable. Gilgamesh, trying to win out the scavenger hunt, tried to yank Pamela's teddy bear out of her hands. It didn't hit him how amazingly poor an idea that was until the bear grew to be twice the octo-armed swordsman and began to chomp his limbs one by one. While this usually isn't that bad when you're in the Duelling League (hey look revivers at every corner!), it gains a few disturbing connotations when the nurses assigned to treat you are Melanie and Jessica.

While Gilgy surprisingly didn't gain a bear trauma with this last endeavor, he now cannot see bags and labcoats without curling into fetal position and whimpering. Chisato figures this will bring weeks of entertainment for Behind the Scenes. Nate approves.
