(OOC: See post 578--I snuck in a ninja edit to the last post for Jacen because I saw that you hadn't been online. You can post Jacen coming upstairs)Shayuri said:(hee! Um. I'm confused as to where Jacen and Marie are compared to everyone else. Last I saw, Belinda sent them upstairs...then the next post Belinda's talking to Tristan. Had Jacen already gone? Do they see each other? Meep!)
(OOC: I think Tristan is going to try his darnedest to keep word from spreading. As to the Crimson Pumpernickel, what can I say?Velmont said:OOC: i just took teh time to read the Crimson Pumpernickel... only one thing to tells:![]()
Ok, Hyacinthe is back to his nap and wait for someone to come warn him... or an hour have pass so he will be refresh for the coming hours... but if the words spread to the servant that the Crimson pumpernickel was there, it's sure Hyacinthe will come to see Tristan or Gabriel.
“Your arrogance really has no bounds, does it Meleagant,” Gabriel chuckles, before adding, “Fine, I accept your terms, let’s get on with it then.”Rystil Arden said:"You're right. But fortunately for me, Anne Debreuil is no lady," Meleagant laughs, "We can duel in the courtyard. As the one challenged, it is my right to name our weapons and terms. Each to a sabre, and you can use that shoddy thing you have there of your lover-girl's if you want, but I wouldn't be surprised if it can't even stand to attention considering its poor craftmanship. Honest blows, and no pulling punches. First to two cuts on the other wins, though if either of us is wimp enough to pass out after just one blow, that's an automatic loss as well. A real man's duel."

*Gabriel heads out into the courtyard and prepares himself to use the Debreuil blade, removing his outer jacket so just his shirt will be damaged if Meleagant manages to land a blow.*
[SBLOCK=OOC]Time for IC to show it’s usual hatred of me...
Gabriel’s initiative roll 7
And there we have it, the beginning of a bunch of bad rolls.![]()

"Well, Belinda did say that your friend was looking for both of us," Marie agrees, heading upstairs with Jacen, still holding hands. They are thus the first to arrive, followed shortly by Tommy, who Belinda had found shortly thereafter.Shayuri said:Jacen looks a little perplexed.
"Why would they be..." he shakes his head. "Right...lets go, Marie. I mean...if it's all right if I go too, that is."
He nods at Belinda. "Thank you for letting us know."
*Gabriel grimaces in pain as he’s forced back a step by the massive blow, blood flowing freely from the wound.*Rystil Arden said:"I like to think it isn't arrogance if I have the skill to match the bravado. You shall soon have your chance to decide. But first, our terms, sir. If you win, I will apologise to that little witch of yours. If I win, then you can pick your choice of either denouncing her as a whore and a witch to the assembled partygoers or else dressing up in girl's clothes and telling everyone here that you're a wimpy little girl. Knowing your type, I'm sure you'll pick the latter. I'll be amused either way."
"Enough talk. En garde!"
*Meleagant holds his blade with an odd two-handed grip that gives him more flexibility to pivot the direction, and he uses it as he brings the blade quickly forward with much more speed than the young noble seemed capable of, scoring a first quick and massive blow, backed by his full power.*
(OOC: Hits for 13 Damage. Gabriel's turn)

(OOC: feel free to converse between Tristan, Jacen, Marie, and Tommy while you wait for les derniers Dulirands)
"Pah! You just know you're going to lose. 'Diminished by my fighting conditions' indeed. Pah! You're the one who chose to use that rusted piece of crap. I see that excellent dueling sabre at your hip--it's clearly your weapon of choice. It isn't like I chose some weird weapon to confuse you, little girl."unleashed said:*Gabriel grimaces in pain as he’s forced back a step by the massive blow, blood flowing freely from the wound.*
“I have no interest in an apology from you anymore Meleagant, that went by the wayside when I turned my back on you, as I find your words so unworthy that an apology from you would insult the lady further, and I will tell her such when I return. So you will simply have to satisfy yourself with my defeat alone, should you be victorious, though since my ability has been diminished by your fighting conditions, such a victory would be rather hollow as you are not fighting me at my best.”
*With that, Gabriel pivots around Meleagant’s blade and sends the Debreuil blade lancing towards his now exposed side.*
[SBLOCK=OOC]Gabriel’s Attack: Attack roll 12, damage 14
Don’t know if that’s going to hit or not, probably not knowing IC, so I’ll leave my description at that.[/SBLOCK]
