As you may or may not be aware, as of last night, I have been issued a challenge to a duel. As a gentleman of honor, I am obliged to accept this, or to be named a coward amongst you, my friends, the general public, and everyone else involved. However, as the challenged party, there are some things which are my right, according to the Code Duello of 1777.
A duel may be negated by apology but as the first aggressor must be the first to apologize in the duel, and Courfeyrac has delivered the first offense, as evidenced on the network last night, with his accusation to Musichetta: "He throws things at me, Chetta. Really disgusting things that get in my hair. Like Jello." .
With this as the first offense in the duel as I opted only to my own defense of honor, for a slight already acknowledged and settled that should not be brought up anymore, particularly to a lady, Courfeyrac is obligated to make the first apology. As he will not do so, then I cannot make mine, and the matter must proceed to the duel.
A duel who's details we must settle by the naming of our seconds, and our weapons. I must state that again, as the challenged party, I am permitted to make choice of the weapons we shall use in our duel. In days of old, our seconds would have settled all of these matters, but in terms of settling things today, I will state that my preferences do not tend to the sword but to the noble gentleman's weapon known as the super soaker lightning storm model. I also believe that we know each other's schedules well enough that we can choose a time most fitting to our needs and location for the duel. My proposal is the quad but let us leave some matters to our seconds, of whom I am requesting Combeferre as mine.
Keep it in mind that the rules of dueling also state that the victor may do with his rival as he may when all is over. Just a little matter of beginning to spell things out.
