>>Let it be known.
The Warlord Aspen was seen in the Arena this very night by myself, as was Methous ... who I shall never refer to as a Baron.
Amazing how things turn, isn't it?<<

Let it be known Drake, that what I was to do changed. My grandfather on my mother's side had a stroke on the morning of the 17th. I was surprised I did not leave immediately to see him. I did stay so that I could complete the duel. When I stepped from my shop for the night and walked to the my house I found a parchment with Methous's request to reschedule upon it. This seriously pissed me off. I had stayed home to duel him while my grandfather
might be dying and he doesn't even bother to show up. I did read the reschedule parchment before the match, all of 3 minutes before. I did not expect him to come at all that night. After learning some new information from one of the barons yesterday, I am sad to say, I would have chosen to reschedule instead of send this to the council. When he did show up I had already made my decision. I stuck with my decision because it was my choice. As for
dueling him at that time. Why should I? I took time to stay and try to duel him and he doesn't even show up on time? And why did he come?
Answer me this Methous.
Why did you not come on time?
What emergency prevented you from coming?

The reason I am around now is because I went to see my Grandfather, but after just a couple hours they sent me home, they being my aunts. So I did come home, but if you did not notice when I did enter the arena last night I was drunk. With all this stuff with my grandfather and Methous has pushed me to much. I sat at home and drank all my stock, 1 bottle, then went to the Inn for some more. When I awoke I was in the gutter outside the Inn with a
bottle in my hand. After laying in the gutter for about an hour vomiting, I stood up and walked, sort of, to the arena. The rest of the night I was in the Arena, or at home, asleep. So go ahead Drake, pick at and wonder all you like. I did not choose to be hear at this time. There is somewhere else I should be but won't be allowed.

And to the rest of you,
Your snide remarks, witticisms, and down right slaps in the face of my character do not bother me. I have spent my life being the butt of jokes and harassment. I will simply ignore you.

Bored with the Idiocy,



Aspen

::flips through the stack of posts, including the original one..once, twice..and again::

::utter disgust and anger wash over her features as she raises her hand, a sapphire blue glow radiating from it::

::with a thought, the blue glow flashes once and is gone::

<w> It is time...

::as she disappears, the sapphire blue outline of a rose in full bloom fades into view upon the parchment of the original notice::

((author's note: more on the meaning of the rose symbol in later IC posts, and don't worry, the symbol is only an outline. Everyone would be perfectly able to read the post still))

::laughs as he reads the posts, goes through the arena with an axe, and acid throwing it everywhere, and destroying the bar, caller's couch, and every thing else that could be used, coming upon the ring, carefully places large rocks in them so as to hinder the dueling::

What do you think of thee precious arena now? It is no more a piece of honor, than the mug of ale which was used as a vomit bucket.

Bret.

::gasp:: No! Not the arena! What foul fiend could do such a dastardly thing?

Quick, someone whisk it away for safekeeping until we decide what to do!
