This is for Mr. Raoul de Chagny, where-ever's he's hiding! *tries to stand very straight and look menacing, which is very difficult for him*

I shall challenge him to a duel for Pussy, with whatever weapon he chooses, right now! *is pretending this isn't quite as ridiculous as it sounds*

*enters a bit nervously, but attempts to hide it by looking suspicious*

Firstly, before I choose a weapon, what is your reason for challenging me? I was under the impression that you and Rosa had broken off your engagement.

[the_d_case]

*would really be very nervous, except that being angry makes him reckless and therefore brave. ha ha* *looks fierce, but not very fearsome*

I am challenging you because Pussy--because I--

Because I am Pussy's brother, and I don't mean to have her marrying some suspicious, foul, French aristocrat who doesn't at all deserve her!

*would flail if it weren't for the fact that, you know, he's supposed to seem cool, calm, and collected*

Suspcious and foul indeed! I hardly know you, m'sieur, but Rosa was quite of the opinion that we should try to attempt getting along. However, it's obvious that you know me well enough to challenge me to a duel.

I choose swords as the weapon of choice, whether it pleases you or not.

*would kind of like to flail too, except that he is supposed to be brave and fierce and teh_winnaring*

*haughty look, of which young men like he are so capable* I do so know you well enough, well enough to know that you are not at all worth Rosa's time or affection, and I shall beat you soundly!

Swords it is!

*...is so dead*

[east_of_jaipur]

This is really very ridiculous.

*haughty again* I'll thank you to keep out of this, Landless.

I suppose family ties compel me to say...

Want to place bets?

[punjab_you]

Most definitely, yes.

I wager fifteen thousand francs on M. Drood.

O.G.

[lasorelli]

All right, I'll match that amount of Philippe's money on dear Raoul, I suppose.
