...to a duel. That's right. Tomorrow at dawn by the river - sword fight to the death. Does anyone want to be my second?

Alright, then aiua's still chosen a sword. It's more sportsman like. Well, I guess it depends on if it's a traditional, gentleman's (or gentlewoman's) duel, or a western duel. Because then it would be pistols at down in the middle of town.

Besides, if you're really gonna do that style of duel, I think someone should be slapped with a glove. Just sayin'.

But...see, the glove-slapping bit is supposed to be indicative of a civilized, gentlemanly/gentlewomanly type of conflict resolution. Outright slapping, or worse, the removal of body parts , defeats the purpose. I mean, if you're gonna do that, then why not just have a fight club style brawl?

Well, sure, but it's not gonna remove any parts of the recipient's face (unless it's platemail glove or something). Plus, it's got tradition behind it.

I'm wanting to be the second victim, that's all I care about. I'm not a very good shot, so pistols at dawn is a perfectable acceptable way of getting shot.

As long as we can reenact the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, I'm completely happy. That duel makes me crack up everytime.
And of course it's silk. That's the only way to go. Like I always say "Go silk or go...something else."

Only because there's no video recording of Hamilton's and Burr's duel. Although, I have to admit, Mal's duel was great as well. That is by far my favorite Firefly episode.

Plus, Megan chose pistols, so by default it has to be more like Hamilton's and Burr's duel. Unless we want a cowboy showdown. Those are fun.

Megan, I have to say I am disappointed with your choice. Swords just seems so much more...fun. But that's just me. If you want pistols, then pistols it is.
