Gorgon
You Are a Monster
Fujimaru 1: (Something's touching my cheek...)
Narration: I felt something that was both cold and warm... Something between hard and soft...
Narration: It felt...rough...
Fujimaru 1: (Something is grasping my finger...)
Narration: It felt like a bottomless chasm...just waiting to swallow me whole...
Narration: It felt damp...
???: How boring...
???: Ah, now it's crying out saying it can wait no longer. My hair...my evil...is shamelessly driveling...
???: If you do not wake up soon, I may really eat you...
Fujimaru 1: (WHA...!?!?!?)
Fujimaru 1: ...Where am I...?
Gorgon: ...Hmph. So you have awoken. That was a close call for you.
Fujimaru 1: There are scale marks on my cheek!?
Fujimaru 2: There's a snake chewing on my finger!?
Gorgon: If you're disappointed that I spared your life rather than relieved...
Gorgon: ...then tell me that you lament having missed the opportunity to merge with me and melt into sweet oblivion.
Gorgon: It's not too late to speak up. Don't you fret. I am always hungry.
Fujimaru 1: Oh, no, no, no...no. Don't worry about me.
Fujimaru 2: Oh, uh, thanks, but I'm...fine...
Gorgon: Mmm. What...is this place?
Gorgon: I just found myself here with you sleeping beside me. You're my Master. Do you know what is happening?
Fujimaru 1: This has happened to me a few times...
Fujimaru 2: Probably a dream, or your unconscious or something...
Gorgon: ...? What do you mean? Explain more in detail.
Gorgon: Hehe...hahahaha! A dream. A dream? Of mine!? Oh you ARE funny...
Fujimaru 1: That's...funny?
Gorgon: Of course it is. Look around you. See this cold, empty world.
Gorgon: It's so dark... Not a mote of light to be seen, nor a sign of life anywhere.
Gorgon: Your lungs are filled with dark and ominous air. What dread sights you can see are most sinister.
Gorgon: The cold floor is damp, like a demon's entrails, and eagerly awaits you to collapse and die...
Gorgon: Its hideous walls stifle you, waiting to close around you like a coffin.
Gorgon: There is nothing at all good here. A true nightmare for any human. A being of pure despair and evil...that is what I am.
Gorgon: Ah... This place is a true reflection of my nature...utterly monstrous!
Gorgon: I certainly could not argue if you said this was a reflection of who I am within. All I can do is laugh at this! Hahahaha!
Fujimaru 1: You're talking nonsense again...
Fujimaru 2: Maybe there's a field of flowers over there...
Gorgon: ... I've always wondered. What do you think of me, truly?
Gorgon: Now more than ever, you fail to understand my nature, which makes this a good opportunity to teach you.
Gorgon: I am...evil. That is all.
Gorgon: The third sister of a certain family, destined to become a monster. That is all I am.
Gorgon: As my power goes beyond any mere common evil, some may even call me the mother of Demonic Beasts.
Gorgon: Yet you do not fear me... Why?
Fujimaru 1: We don't have any trouble communicating...
Fujimaru 2: You seem to understand what I say...
Gorgon: ...If communication is all you require, your bar is quite...low.
Gorgon: And even that is only possible because, at this moment, I exist in a state between my forms as a goddess and monster.
Gorgon: I honestly do not understand why I was summoned in this state...
Gorgon: Let me make myself clear. I am not a goddess. I am a monster. I am a divinity who turned evil.
Gorgon: That's why you–
Fujimaru 1: What's that voice!?
Fujimaru 2: Something's coming!
Gorgon: Hah... I am the mother of Demonic Beasts. I devour even other evils. It would not surprise me to know there are a few lurking within me.
Gorgon: At least it may be amusing to watch whatever hungry beasts lurk here devour you.
Fujimaru 1: I'd appreciate it if you'd help me out...
Gorgon: Shut up. I don't care what you want.
Gorgon: But... I have no intention of feeding the other evils that work within me in this dream of mine.
Gorgon: Letting them feast on your flesh would be a waste. Besides, I happen to feel like exercising just now.
Gorgon: Consider yourself lucky. You can cower before me once we finish here.
Gorgon: Now, look upon my form and learn...
Gorgon: Learn that the being you thought you could merely talk with is a monster who will turn your stomach!
--BATTLE--:
Gorgon: Hahaha...what do you think!? Did you see my terrible serpent form!?
Fujimaru 1: Thanks! You saved me!
Gorgon: That's not what I'm talking about! That's not what you should be saying!
Gorgon: You should be terrified! You should be soiling yourself! You should be begging me not to eat you!
Gorgon: This is the time to beg for your life!
Fujimaru 1: So, I'm thinking leaving would be a good idea...
Fujimaru 2: I don't think we should stay long...
Gorgon: Ungh... This human...is unbelievable...!
Gorgon: Argh! Fine! So!? Do you have any idea how to escape!?
Fujimaru 1: I don't, but let's just keep going.
Gorgon: Hmph. Are you saying we should simply head in that direction?
Gorgon: The single, obvious way out in a place steeped in nothing but evil on all sides?
Gorgon: I suspect that will only lead us to a hell far worse than the one we find ourselves in now.
Gorgon: But you willingly walk headlong into peril...and you are even willing to peek into the underbelly of the hideous monster I am?
Fujimaru 1: I'm sure there are parts of yourself you don't want anyone seeing...
Fujimaru 2: We've got to go that way to get out, sorry.
Gorgon: Silence. It seems you value neither your life nor your sanity.
Gorgon: Perhaps you will realize what they were worth once you've lost them. Hehe.
Gorgon: Very well. I'm intrigued.
Gorgon: I shall watch your final moments and mock them to the very end. You may meet your end without fear. Hahaha.
Gorgon: ...Hold it right there. Are you a fool?
Gorgon: Did you not think that carelessly venturing out might mean your death? If you simply perished, I would be robbed of my chance to watch a demon devour you.
Gorgon: Just stand behind me and follow me, scum. Unbelievable...
Fujimaru 1: (She might get angry again if I thank her...)
--ARROW--:
Gorgon: I can feel the evil presence growing stronger. It certainly doesn't bother me, but you–
Fujimaru 1: ...?
Gorgon: Tsk. You're fine? Disappointing. Do you have no consideration for how your whimpering and looks of terror would keep me entertained on this dull journey?
Gorgon: Don't you know? Human suffering is my greatest pleasure.
Gorgon: Seeing, hearing, and tasting human suffering are my favorite things to do...
Gorgon: That terror, oh it makes me drool in anticipation. There is no better seasoning for my meal.
Fujimaru 1: Is that because...you're an Avenger?
Gorgon: ...What a silly thing to say.
Gorgon: That class was forced upon me when I was summoned as a Servant.
Gorgon: But...you're probably right. Your absurd question jogged my memory.
Fujimaru 1: ...Memory of what?
Gorgon: Rage!
Gorgon: Yes...I may truly be an Avenger. The desire for revenge does indeed burn within my Spirit Origin.
Gorgon: But...revenge against what? Whatever is it that I hate so much?
Gorgon: The unknown is what infuriates me, and it has led me to kill and devour all living things I encounter.
Gorgon: That, at least, I find fulfilling, all the more so if the victim is someone I loathe.
Gorgon: Heh...a monster who doesn't even know who deserves her vengeance...
Gorgon: Of all the Heroic Spirits you employ, I must be the most bizarre and horrible!
Fujimaru 1: That's not true...
Gorgon: Tsk. I've said too much. Forget it.
Gorgon: Either way, the stench of evil is getting stronger here. Something is bound to happ–
Fujimaru 1: I-it got dark all of a sudden!
Gorgon: Quiet.
Gorgon: Hmph. I can hardly see... Even my own eyes cannot see through...the darkness within me...
Gorgon: ... Fine. For now...
Fujimaru 1: And something touched me!!!
Gorgon: I said keep quiet. That's just my hair. Hold on to it and don't let go.
Gorgon: If you annoy it, it may bite off a finger or two. If you want to live, deal with it. Let's go.
Fujimaru 1: (I hope she's only kidding...)
Gorgon: ... There's something up ahead...
Gorgon: ...! Is...that...
Gorgon: My older sisters...
Gorgon: And that's...
Gorgon: Me!!!
Gorgon: Wait. Stop. What are you doing?
Gorgon: No...what are you...trying to show me!?
Gorgon: ...!
Gorgon: ...
Gorgon: Ah, I see.
Gorgon: So this is a dream to show me what might have been!!!
Fujimaru 1: What was that...?
Gorgon: ...Let me ask you. What did you just see?
Fujimaru 1: Uh...I don't know, it was all fuzzy...
Gorgon: I see. That's a relief.
Gorgon: Even if you did see something or THINK you saw something, don't ask. I'll kill you if you do.
Fujimaru 1: But...
Fujimaru 2: I can still see the other Gorgon.
???: ...
Gorgon: Hmph. I'll let that one slide. That's only the “me” I see in my dreams.
Gorgon: And that...that is... Hahaha! All the more reason to kill it!
Fujimaru 1: You're going to kill it!?
Gorgon: Of course. That being is the center of the evil that has flooded this realm. My body...my every instinct...cries out for that thing's blood!
Gorgon: (Instinct...that's right...instinct.)
Gorgon: (If that is true...)
Gorgon: (Is that what defines my existence? Is that how I will end up? Is it telling me to seek revenge...)
Gorgon: (...against the humans and world that led me here...?)
Gorgon: (Hehe...hahaha!!!)
Gorgon: (Who cares? Even if that were true, my purpose does not change. I am not wrong.)
Gorgon: (I devour what I wish. I kill what I wish. That is the essence of my very being!)
Gorgon: Ah, of course. Of course. In the end...this is all monsters are able to do!
--BATTLE--:
Gorgon: The darkness is starting to clear... Hehehe... Oh, that was satisfying!
Gorgon: And yet...that was no more than a shadow of my past and future. I know just how pointless it is.
Fujimaru 1: ?
Gorgon: Hah! That vacant look... I can see you do not understand. But I do.
Gorgon: What would you call something that is both satisfying and completely pointless?
Gorgon: ...Amusement.
Gorgon: I had an amusing dream. If how I feel now is any indication...I would say it was a sweet dream.
Gorgon: Let me reiterate: I am a monster.
Gorgon: Killing that monster–that other me–and bathing in its blood was exhilarating. I found that dream...amusing.
Gorgon: Knowing that...do you still want something like me in your Chaldea?
Fujimaru 1: Of course.
Gorgon: Why? I've told you time and time again, and you still don't get it!? I am no Heroic Spirit! I AM A MONSTER!
Fujimaru 1: Whatever you are, you are here now.
Fujimaru 2: You answered my call...
Gorgon: ...You are mistaken.
Gorgon: Even I do not know why I was summoned. It must have been some kind of accident.
Fujimaru 1: Even if it's an accident or a mistake, I'm happy.
Fujimaru 2: Thank you for coming to Chaldea.
Gorgon: I said...you...!
Gorgon: (Sigh) So annoying. Even my hunger has dissipated.
Gorgon: ...Hmph. It's almost time to wake up. I failed to devour the moron before me.
Gorgon: ...
Gorgon: Perhaps it is the same for humans, but I will likely forget this most amusing dream of mine.
Gorgon: And if you don't want me to remember that I failed to devour you...
Gorgon: Do not ever mention what happened in this dream should you recall it. For your own safety.
Gorgon: Hmph.
Fujimaru 1: Oh.
Mash: What's wrong, Senpai?
Gorgon: ...! (Silent pressure)
Fujimaru 1: ...
Gorgon: ... (Look that says, “Good. Keep quiet.”)
Mash: ...?
Stheno: Very suspicious, don't you think, “me?”
Euryale: Yes. They were exchanging knowing glances with each other, “me.”
Stheno: Hehe...our foolish younger sister, who's three times the size of the one we're used to seeing...the BBB (Big Big Big) Mountain...
Stheno: What in the world do you think transpired between her and Master last night? I am so curious.
Euryale: Yes. We must pry it out of her...down to the last juicy detail.
Euryale: Privacy? What's that? We had no such thing on our island.
Gorgon: Older sisters...!?
Stheno & Euryale: Fess up. Right now. Come on...hurry up...spill it...!
Gorgon: M-Master! Remember that we had planned a training session in the simulator!?
Gorgon: Let's get going! It's important! If I don't get exercise, I'll get rusty! Now, please excuse us!
Stheno: She's fleeing with Master! Does that mean something really...is there some truth behind what we think happened between them!?
Euryale: Hold it right there! Do you think you can get away with keeping secrets from your older sisters!? You big, giant fool of a sister! Wait up!
Mash: Wh-what just happened?
Fou: Fou, fooou!
