And now boxing is frowned upon? What sort of civilization is this, anyhow?

Irene, do tell me you've not gotten yourself into trouble already. We've barely been in this place a month- even if the laws are the damndest things.

	Well, I wouldn't say I've gotten myself into trouble, tough I wouldn't say that I haven't got myself into trouble either. It's a shame about your boxing though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	How delightfully vague. Just where have you run off to, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outsmartedhim 2010-02-07 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Oh you know, around. I've hardly been the type to stay indoors and do nothing. Women actually have rights around here. It's refreshing. I don't have to marry a man to take all his money this time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Which I'm sure has expedited the process wonderfully. Well, congratulations I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outsmartedhim 2010-02-07 05:18 am UTC (link)
	Suppose so. Is this your way of saying you're bored and want us to entertain you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Do I really strike you as so desperate, Miss Adler? You said yourself, this world is far progressed from our own. I'm rather certain I can find something to pass the time without your charming company. I simply wished to see if I were to be paying the rent myself, this month. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outsmartedhim 2010-02-07 05:24 am UTC (link)
	You really don't want me to answer that question, Holmes. I'm sure you can. But it seemed like you were bored. No no, I have plenty of money to pay the rent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:32 am UTC (link)
	Then I suppose I'll leave you to your... art. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outsmartedhim 2010-02-07 05:33 am UTC (link)
	I'll ring you when I've gotten into something up over my head again, shall I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:35 am UTC (link)
	I would fear what would happen to the world if you didn't, Irene. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outsmartedhim 2010-02-07 05:39 am UTC (link)
	Well it is fun seeing you squirm. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 04:47 am UTC (link)
	As luck would have it, gambling is legalised in some areas. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:05 am UTC (link)
	Which would explain where you've run off to, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've found a House willing to take my money. You ought to see how advanced the games are these days. Dice and cards and even a spinning wheel with a marble for luck and chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:13 am UTC (link)
	It was never finding someone willing that was the issue, it was staving them off when they saw the error of their ways. Good God, man, in this new world of wonders, you still care to throw your money away on trivialities? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 05:14 am UTC (link)
	We all have our vices. Holmes. I do not belittle yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Mine are not quite so expensive, or dangerous, as yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Yes, of course. Boxing is in no way dangerous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Apparently not enough to afford your worry when it's funding your own vice. And frankly, it would be far more dangerous if I ever lost. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 05:33 am UTC (link)
	As my gambling addiction would be far more dangerous if I were unable to pay my debt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:36 am UTC (link)
	So far better my arse on the line, than yours? How touching. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 05:38 am UTC (link)
	You choose to go into the ring, Holmes. And for the record, I do worry. Every time. But I also respect your choice to fight, and trust in your ability to win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:44 am UTC (link)
	And you choose to go to the Houses. The difference is, at least I seem to recognize my choice is unwise. Fun, if unwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nevercomplained 2010-02-07 05:45 am UTC (link)
	And you are too stubborn to realise what you do is not so different. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ninjaspider 2010-02-07 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Why would boxing be frowned upon? Unless youre boxing in the street. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:32 am UTC (link)
	And just where else would you find a decent boxing match? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ninjaspider 2010-02-07 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Well... typically in a boxing ring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Which have been moved from the streets for... what purpose, exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ninjaspider 2010-02-07 05:43 am UTC (link)
	I guess to protect those who aren't well trained... and to prevent innocent people from getting hurt. It's this whole big thing. You can box in the street as long as you're discrete about it I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sevenpercentman 2010-02-07 05:45 am UTC (link)
	It's an asinine law- what sort of men doesn't know how to fight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ninjaspider 2010-02-07 05:49 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. Most of the men I know these days I have fought or I'm teaching to fight. Though, most modern men,you'll find, have gone really soft. (Reply to this) (Parent)
