DAVOUT... i had no clue what was up your sleeve, but you had me on the floor laughing out loud.....


my lord, every quote and every line afterwards, all solid golden material. im still laughing.

I see a PR campaign for this. We can turn this into a chat. Lord Togas or an appointed other will flip a coin or use some other random means to determine the outcomes of the duel.

We can invite foreign dignitaries and all feast on squid until one man succumbs from battle. It'll be a gala affair...

Ahem, I believe the need for a duel has been averted, Señor ruby_maser. Let us not re-ignite the conflict, for both are from families that have served Spain well, and I am loath to see such bloodlines end.

But, but... the fat from eating squid makes people bouncy and more fun for the Great Octopus to play with!

I, Thag, a lowly slave of Master Mitchell (not to be confused with Thug, whom Master told stories of when I was but a lad, about how Thug had the strength of 10 men and the intelligence of a free citizen, and how loyal he was, and how Señor Calamari's father killed him, and so on), wish to speak if it is no problem.

I am only a slave, and do not know well of the system for this sort of thing, but I must ask you: What are the charges, and why would Señor Hernan want to make more enemies by implicating Ninot as leaving when he knew that there were two who looked like Ninot and one (Ninot) was a respectable citizen while the other (Rinot) was a slave. Why would Señor Ninot want to run off as such?

Also, I kindly ask another question. If Master Mitchell would allow me, can I read the Canon Laws and such, Assistant High Priest Hernan? These matters confuse me some bit, and I request assistance in understanding them. Master already gives us a 4-hour break every day to "be left to [our] own devices." (This is in addition to the standard 8 hours of sleep.) Master is kind to us like that, letting us have breaks and stuff.

Wow. WOW. I, nor probably Togas Himself, didn't know how much the Watcher watched you.



Not that I would ever denounce Grand Despot Togas, Lord of the Light of the Infinite Wisdom, by the Grace of the Spirits anyways.

(And BTW, I directed Thag to the court case thread for the charges. Thag called them all ridiculous. I agree with 'em. Señor Ninot is a fine upstanding citizen, never capable of doing treasonous acts.)

[OliverFA]

For all the spirits!

I am several weeks out overseeing the progress of the slaves connecting Pamplona with the new city and when I come back to Madrid I learn about that trial!

These despicable chineese warriors are wandering through our lands without problem and we are dedicated to judge our own people? Ninot comes from a very important and respectable family. His father (or was he his grandfather?) was even Governor of Madrid. They have proven their loyalty. If the civ from the north have the suspect that we are dividid they will no doubt attack us!

What we should do is arrest these damn chineese warriors and hang them, without any trial!

[History Guy]

Alright, then.

I shall not back down, however. My family honor has been impuned, and unless official action is taken, or a retraction of statements is made by the besmircher, I will fight the duel with him, and may the gods bless my hand for this battle.

Secondly, this is not a gala affair. It is a private matter between two men that must be solved on the field of glory.

Thirdly, Senor Thag is a slave. He cannot read the Sacred Scrolls or Canon Law. The thane lord, Senor Mitchell, may. But let him know, should he take the Law for granted, or offend the gods with misuse of it, the gods will not be pleased.

Senor Ninot, if you want to deal with this man, Noberto Rinot yourself, I hand him over to your torturer, Mr. Paine. If he is quite finished writing 'The Rights of Man' and other such nonsense, he may want to deal with this thief, scallywag, and clothes copier personally.

As for enemies, I seek none. It is they who seek me, and I am ready to fight them, to win the losing battle. May the gods go with me, I am old, and thus it is not a fair battle, but I will see honor done my family. Indeed, whomever wins, the honor is mine alone.

I fight the good fight, Senor Ninot. Do you?

But I’ve never seen a duel. It would be so awesome to watch... My aunts are so strict, and my father, huh! he always takes their side and just lets them be strict. Some father he is. Nobody lets me do anything!

Am I the only one thinking of Hamilton and Burr right now?

I retract NO statements. I will fight the propper fight, and rid you of your egotestical head, along with other things.

I do not care to hear if you are old or not. If you were anything better than a coward, you wouldnt hide behind so many frailties. And that you should ask for the gods blessing is laughable. the Octupus god LAUGHS at your indescent squid dealing, and will surely guide me to smite you.

And most importantly, you will not have honor. As I am innocent of the crimes I am accused of, I still have honor. And that honor will not be lost because your fat, immovable corpse will fill a street and a half of Madrid, once I am done with it.

[History Guy]

Fools have no honor, young man. I am not a fool. I keep my honor. Do you?

It is unclear to me the root of your insane hatred towards my family. I would dismiss it as sheer jealous folly and move on. It has been made clear to me from friends and certain members of government that a duel is the last thing they want. Thus, I shall relent.

Consider yourself lucky. I will show mercy. I do not kill children, or even those who decide to act like them.

[Ninot]

You are a fool, and a coward.

and you have proved as much now.

your family has been the scurge of Madrid since the start of time, and since you won't allow me to get my hands dirty, it seems that will go on.

[History Guy]

And you, sir, are as ignorant as a child, like a youth who throws his toys about his room when he is angry for want of an intelligent response.

I have offered you my peace, and for no reason you refuse it. I see know reason why on earth any statement of yours should be, in future, be taken seriously by myself in any context whatsoever.

To my mind, you prove yourself to have the petty mind of a child, and you can't get out of that. Spain mourns for the loss of a promising mind.
