I'm sorry to cut the fun off so quickly because
authoressnebula wanted in on the fun; it was her idea. I was afraid of frustrating you guys too much, but it seems like we've been caught. Maybe I should have gone with her other fake prompt: Only Fools Fly at Midnight, but I thought ya'll would get right on those stories. We are going to do things a little different this week, though.
swweeks went above and beyond to find this:
âme damnée: A devoted adherent; a tool.
1823 SCOTT Peveril IV. xii. 288 He is the ame damnée of every one about my court{em}the scape-goat, who is to carry away all their iniquities. 1830 C. C. F. GREVILLE Mem. (1874) II. xiii. 96 He [sc. Sefton] is the âme damnée of Lord Grey, and defends everything of course. 1879 M. E. BRADDON Vixen III. vii. 185 Their âmes damnées, the men who hold their hods and mix their mortar. 1917 ASQUITH Let. 13 Nov. (1933) I. 46 We are having Col. House, the Head of the American ‘Mission’, to lunch; he is President Wilson's own particular âme damnée. 1938 S. BECKETT Murphy iv. 54 Neary..boarded the first train for Dublin, accompanied by his âme damnée and man-of-all work, Cooper.
And for those tuning in late, this is the original post that didn't catch too many April Fools.
Good morning guys. So, new week, new prompt. Have fun!

So no random generator this week; the REAL prompt for this week is going to be.... drumroll.....
Devotee
