Oh my god, what is that ridiculous stance?? …That pose makes it so easy to admire your...form. The lines of your legs under those tight breeches, the curve of your bust under that royal blue jacket, the long and graceful neck revealed by how you have gathered your hair up…

I beg your pardon! I get distracted easily by a pretty girl!

Of course, of course, you are here to fight, not to flirt! But my being a little distracted can only work in your favour, no? I shall try to behave.

...try.

After her sister is scandalously seduced, an earnest and passionate female duelist (the listener) seeks revenge on the insolent, rakish swordswoman (the speaker) responsible. She demands satisfaction and challenges this she-devil to a duel--and to get her to accept the challenge, she recklessly offers her foe “anything she wants” if she wins. And to an experienced duelist & seductress like her foe, “anything” is a very dangerous promise to make!

Hey pretty things!

To make a long story short, I tried recording this script like 5 times, each in a different accent, only to end up hating the way the takes sounded and starting over. After a viewing of the 2009 movie Sherlock Holmes reminded me of the huge crush I have on Rachel McAdams, I came back and tried a version of the script using my own (slightly Cali-accented) voice and some slightly anachronistic riffing; that’s the take you’ll hear in this audio. The result is something a little closer to a conventional mean girl/bully audio with some fun sword-fighting and historical flavour.

I really love the historical scripts written by u/Icedrake402, so here’s hoping there’s more in the future. Maybe a series of these two… sparring? ;)

Enjoy this one, it’s fun. If you’d like to drop a comment, it would make my day!

Yours rakishly,

• Lizzie
