Hey, @Old…
I just remembered that votes must be PMs to Bartlebot in order to be counted!

The air burns tonight with the screeching scream of a thousand tons of gleaming steel pushing against the might of a planet’s atmosphere only to end with a not too distant boom
A bedraggled space sailor stumbles into the room while the gathered gentlesentients politely ignore the state of his still-blazing clothes
Beg you pardons kind folk, Cmdr. Capstanturnbuckle sends along this message with his apologies, seems another landing- while an entirely successful landing I must assure you- as the ship has found the ground, is detained in the outskirts where it seems the shanty town got underneath 'em.
Ah, yes, beggin’ your pardon miss, ah yes, you (looks at @Hadley), if you aren’t in a mind to finish that drink could you be so kind as to pour it on my back? I seems to still be slightly on fire.

“My pleasure” _says Lady Elizabeth as she pours her drink onto his back. The flames ignight higher and then sizzle out. Lady Elizabeth notices that her new bonnet has been singed so she turns over the corner. _

Three scotches later, with the sound of the clattering press drowning out everything but his own thoughts (hearing protection? Yes, he remembers something about that being a rule. His rule. Yeah, good, so he can break it, right? Makes sense) Liv comes to a decision.
It’s all bullshit, anyways. He might as well. It’s a lead. What’s the worst that could happen?
Better th’n spending time listening to those airheads prattle and pretend that the desperate preening and bowing is anything less than prostitution. They could at least be honest about it. That’s the problem. Th’ 'pocrisy surrounding the whole thing. It’s like deliberately cocooning yourself in an arachnoid’s web and then pretending it’s anything other than suicide.
He makes his way to the bettor’s window and carefully counts out a stack of notes.

I do hope Her Honor recognizes the seriousness of a Society Lizard who doesn’t waste precious resources on a frivolous carriage rental that is so obviously designed to turn the heads of the slackjawed empty-headed dilettanti. Important matters are at hand, and I simply must be heard.
And if there’s any hope at all for the Captain’s soul, I hope to find it at the Ball.

I was like stuck up in that tree for hours! Just Like a dirty shopping bag, blown by the wind. I like think I’m thinking straight, but I feel so terrible. But you know what space ledger? Hallucinating on back alley tonics gives you perspective!
Like, what have I been doing with my life? Amassing this fortune in this tiny apartment! I might even die tomorrow maybe! But not before I go to that ball, and get my moneys worth at the buffet!!!
Glob, treat every day like its your last! Maybe I’ll even fall in love.

I shall be remarkable by eschewing the style of the day. A leader, not a folllower.
No britches or stockings; rather I shall instead be wearing an exquisitely fitted suit, and rather than the flashy baubles others prefer, I will, instead, be presenting an entirely new slant on the cravat.
My boots, will of course, be polished with only the finest Charyblis.

St-Patrick-Hartbrooke arrives home after the duel and is helped to his writing-desk.
He will obviously be retaining his physician (who should be arriving to attend him later this evening, after seeing to the other participant of the duel). He currently feels worse than he ever did with that damnable infection, and he will not risk his condition deteriorating.
If he pinched every penny and took on a gratuitous line of credit, he is certain he can find himself at the Mayor’s table, but after the utterly revolting proposals that she had offered for the disposition of the medical supplies, he does not even want to look upon her countenance. Granted, they had been able to talk her into doing the right thing, but that there was a question of doing so… Far from having confidence that he wouldn’t say something untoward, he could practically guarantee that he would do so in her presence.
On the other hand, dining with Ms. Applethwaite was much more affordable, and much less likely to lead him into speaking out-of-turn. From reputation, she was very strict about etiquette and protocol, but such things had been drilled into him for years at Madam Scallopini’s, and he should not have any problem with that. He’d have to pay for a Hansom Cab, but he’d have hardly settled for a lesser conveyance than that in any case.
That doesn’t leave him enough cash for the best apparel, but his winning personality should be more than sufficient to make up for that small disadvantage.
His decisions made, he fills out his dance card (a much more difficult decision, with so many charming young Citizen-Pretenders to choose from), and sends a footman to fill out his entry in the Public Ledger for him.
