As always, there are affairs of honour to be settled - lots of them this month after the armies' return from the summer campaign and consequent encounters in September. Amongst these is a fresh face in Paris, Jean-Jules de Gant. Like a more famous arrival, he has immediately provoked three duels - though not with Musketeers. The son of nobility, Jean-Jules regards Arent Hayes as a peasant, but that doesn't stop him taking a thumping from Arent's sabre. He then has to face Chemin de Fer, but concedes the fight without a blow being struck. A short break lets him recover enough to meet Marcel Hatch Dupree. As a Marine, Marcel duels with a cutlass. Which is when Jean-Jules shows he's no d'Artagnan. He parries, expecting a lunge, when the cutlass's only attack is a slash. The heavy blade cuts straight through his guard. And his ribs. RIP

Parisian social life starts slowly this month with just Frank X Change and Thibault Chanson de Skye hosting in the Fleur. This may explain why there’s so much courting going on. Or is it the other way round? Things get going with a bang (and a raft of regimental rows) when Louis Renault and Maggie Nifisent hold their memorial dinner for Pierre De Terre the following week. Louis is resplendent in his newly-commissioned full dress uniform as Inspector-General. Just about everybody who is anybody is there. Apart from Justin Thyme who was there the week before. And Beaumes de Venise who insists he’s on Pierre De Terre’s guest list only to be nonplussed when the doorman points out that his supposed host is noticeably dead.

Speaking of courting, Hugo Serre is probably the most ostentatious suitor in Paris. His approach to Kathy Pacific involves “gifts of an emerald necklace, the finest chocolates, and exotic flowers … presented by matched servants wearing livery in the colours of the King’s Musketeers.” How could a girl say no?

Least ostentatious are probably Hugh Jeneaux and Achille d’Orbigny. They meet on Belle Epoque’s doorstep, along with Vaux de Fon, but are quick to back down. Each gives precedence to the others, gradually retreating as they bow until they are at opposite ends of the street. Belle is unable to take Vaux’s suit seriously after that display.

At the end of the month Greg de Bécqueur remains top of Paris's Greasy Pole.

Look what we found at Deemers, yesterday!

I'm working on lots of different things today, hoping to have the next Mythic Monday report done on-time and maybe some other progress to share by Tuesday... and I'm eating chips. Yum!

Happy Saturday and happy playing!

Going back to the 80's with this one. You likely would've missed this one just by virtue of being in the US and it never really crossing the Atlantic. So plant your feet firmly on the ground and move your body around without taking a single step!
