As a reminder, tomorrow evening is the monthly Fight Club match up. I tried to make the date Valentine's Day, but Jacob disagreed, so you're welcome for the wait.

If you're new this month, we have a few simple rules in place. No weaponry, and every match is randomly drawn from a hat so no whining about who you get paired with. Powers are left "outside" of the ring, meaning they aren't to be used in these exercises. We're well aware some people are naturally more strong due to their powers, and we just ask that they not go overboard with things.

Leave your revenge and vendettas with your powers and weaponry. Keep your grudges to the level of who beat you last and no killing or even horrendously maiming someone. We will pull you out if you purposely try to permanently injure someone and you won't be welcomed back. Accidents happen, of course, and it's usually fairly easy to tell what is and what isn't an accident. I don't particularly care who wronged you before you entered this place, it's not going to be on our heads if you decide that now is your opportunity to kill that person. At least pretend to act like the adults I know you're all capable of being. In some fashion.

Do I truly overthink everything?


Don't answer that. Forget I asked, actually.

I can't decide if I made a good choice or I was incredibly stupid.

Would I have been betraying Henry if I had simply gone for it?

No. Perhaps. He would think it is a betrayal, given this world and how far removed we are. Even my thinking that it might be likely shows it as such. But I have already qualified that relationship for what it is and cannot continue remaining guilty over it.

I enjoy Alfred's company, obviously. I wouldn't keep it if I didn't. He's intelligent and a good conversationalist, eager to fight and we have similar interests. It's been several months now and it's not as if I long for that sort of companionshi-


Ugh. Nevermind. Not today.
