[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

I call it like I see it, and all I see is a clown bumbling for pennies.

And that isn't my name, so don't bother.

[trollophoroi]

Odd, it seems to me you were looking in a mirror while typing that.

Ah? It isn't? Then pray tell why it was engraved on your sword and armor?

[tablescraps]

If you were what I saw when I looked in a mirror, I would not have hesitated at the bridge in the nameless root town the way you did before.

Lily put it there. Is this not a good enough reason for you, a blind man desperate for salvation?

[trollophoroi]

Lily made armor sets that did many things and yet you, myself, all of us, discovered this and continued to wear them. Do you blame him for your own foolishness?

Although, in your case, I am well aware you are incapable of taking care of yourself.

I suppose you would blame someone else for your self-inflicted ills.

[tablescraps]

What are you talking about?

Then, I thought that was my name. But I understand now it isn't. That Lily wrote what he did on my sword had its purpose at the time.

[trollophoroi]

Then what IS your name, Mithrun? Who do you believe you are now?

[tablescraps]

Lily knows it. Ask hi,m

( weird typo there, but anyway )

[trollophoroi]

I would prefer asking you, the source!

Don't be shy now. We're all trapped in here together now, after all.

[tablescraps]

I don't think Lily wants me saying it. What can you tell me that would make telling you worth the tax?

[trollophoroi]

And why would Lily care about what is and isn't your name?

That said, while I am willing to trade real names with you, I would prefer that you not push yourself if something is amiss.

[tablescraps]

Don't pretend to care about me.

I would trade my name for yours, but you'll have to tell me first: is your name something they call you in reality?

[trollophoroi]

[ But he told Barrett he would behaaaave, okay? ]

Fair enough.

I am unsure what you mean, however. Of course, what else would my name be? Fandaniel is only an online handle.

[tablescraps]

Then that's not what I'm looking for. Ask me again when you understand what I mean.

[trollophoroi]

[ this obnoxious piece of— ]

Amon Isai IS what I a called in reality. Why would my name be anything but my real one? What does that even mean in your broken little head?

[tablescraps]

I guess there's things Lily hasn't even told his chosen, but he's told me. Does that bother you, Amon Isai?

[trollophoroi]

Why would it bother me when I can simply drop in and ask him? Unlike you, he and I have a connection.

[tablescraps]

You seem defensive of your house of cards. Do you worry that if you lose your value to Lily, you'll once again have nothing left? No family, no meaning once more?

[trollophoroi]

Looking for weak points in the armor, are you? I am not going to take such questions from a man who sticks poisonous fish in his mouth for fun.

I have you told you who and what Lily is. Carry on blaming him for all of your problems as I am sure you will, if that is what you truly want. I will be sure to keep him safe from you.

[tablescraps]

For someone so proud to extol communication, you've made some interesting assumptions about how I feel.

[trollophoroi]

Then why not be plain for once and tell me how you feel.

[tablescraps]

( He considers answering with the equivalent of a "fuck you," but, you know what, he's not thought about how to put it in words, actually. )

I think I like him.

( This is an absolutely insane thing for Mithrun to say for anyone who's heard him talk the past week or two about DV or the circumstances DV's brought about, wherein Mithrun has been akin to a snarling, snapping dog just short of a jugular to target in his quest for manslaughter. )

[trollophoroi]

[ excuse?! ]

You do? Ah. Well then.

Why? You certainly did not seem so inclined during the rest of this conversation, although text does take away much from a conversation, that much is true.

[tablescraps]

I just don't like you.

( Lily is just collateral damage, sorry Lily. He treats everyone he likes like this it's not personal, )

It's not really my place to judge him. And even if Lily did use knowledge of your sentimental familial feelings to force a connection, it doesn't really reflect badly on anyone but you.

( victim blaming are we )

As for why, I don't know. ( Well, he has a guess why that is, but it's not one he's putting here. ) I think of him and it feels a little more positive than neutral.

[trollophoroi]

You really do need to stop obsessing over me. Surely you realize the best way to have me lose interest in bothering you is to ignore me, yes?

[ Just ignore him, man. It's only fun when there's a reaction and that's all Mithrun is giving him. ]

In any case, that is intriguing. Maybe it's that you have a heart after all?
