❝But I tell you, do not swear
an oath at all:
either by Heaven, for it is God’s throne;
or by the earth,
for it is His footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the
city of the Great King.
And do not swear by your head,
for you cannot make even
one hair white
or black.
All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No';
anything beyond this comes from
the evil one.
—Matthew 5:34-37

[says a lot about how he's feeling right now when he flat declines a drink just outright from Sika but lets Fandaniel pour him one instead.]

They're beautiful when they arrive. Like something deep inside you that was barren soil suddenly thrives with life again, only for its nourishment to be drowned and leave nothing behind but bittersweet longings.

Men have hardened their hearts for much less.

[trollophoroi]

[ Better a drink from a bitter enemy than a drink from the devil, is it? ]

I could do without the longing. I left my heart in Allag, buried with the rest of the empire. That is where it should stay forevermore.

[idk man have you ever gone clubbing with asmodeus

He chuckles humorlessly, bringing the glass to his lips.]

Look at you, sounding like a hopeless romantic.

...

Before Dalamud, do you think? Or was it later, that you felt you missed it?

[trollophoroi]

[ A scoff. Does he, truly? Disgusting. ]

After. Dalamud would be my final gift to my emperor. It would power his great tower and let him rip open the portal to the void, so that he could end all life.

[ haha what the fuck ]

It would never come to be, however.

I'm sensing a rather consistent theme with you.

[trollophoroi]

[ don't even pretend to be surprised solomon ]

Why, of course. T'was my beloved emperor who inspired such desolation within me. I would never have broken from my title's required role were it not for him.

[he's SO TIRED please he needs to gather all of you that just want to blow everything up and send you into a very deep pit to beat one another to death]

Title? What title?

[trollophoroi]

[ look at least xande is gone you don't even gotta worry about him anymore ]

Fandaniel has never been a name, Solomon.

[impacter]

Ah. I see.

[He cocks his head, idly swirling the drink in his hand.]

Do you prefer it that way?

[trollophoroi]

It has always been such a thorn in my side to share a "name" with the original Fandaniel, so to speak, so no. I do not care much for the title itself.

[impacter]

What would you prefer, then?

[trollophoroi]

[ What would he prefer? While he does pause to consider, he already knows there is but one answer. ]

My own name. Amon.
