It's kind of funny that there's so many characters around - in larp and in popular fiction - called Damocles. It's like people have heard of the Sword of Damocles and assumed that Damocles was this bloke who had a bit of a nifty sword. Of course if they'd ever heard the actual legend, they'd know the Sword of Damocles actually hung above Damocles' bed, in a sort of magical curse stylee. Well, I don't recall all the details myself, but it's definitely a sort of metaphor for a constant sense of dread and doom hanging over you, that may come crashing down at any moment and end your life as you know it.

damn, i really need to have that talk with sal.
