God, I wish...

After losing to Boudewijn for the THIRD TIME OUT OF THREE, I can't be the only one who would really like Subeta to just give me a gun option. Let me whip out my trusty six-shooter and give that jerk some much-needed ballistic therapy. Give him a nice demonstration of Archan's Roar or those lovely twin flintlocks. Shred him with Natasha. Or let me smack him with something heavy or shove him out of a window. Hell, let me sneak something in his drink; the next plot can be investigating Boudewijn coming down with a sudden and severe case of death. Except it's like Murder On The Orient Express because everyone in the ballroom wanted to kill him... (As long as I can loot his pockets.)

Just anything - ANYTHING - other than a game of rock, paper, scissors (well, sword, sword, sword) which he always wins...

Yes, I am salty, thanks for noticing. ;)

omg we are not going to give you the option TO USE A NATASHA IN A DUEL ARE YOU KIDDING ME (a nice revolver would be just fine gosh)

Honestly, I wish that Boojie would show up more often (he only seems to show up about every 40~50 dances.), since I've gotten 4 bag from him so far, [sub]lost a few times too[/sub]. I do hate that "you're a loser" speech he gives, though: " Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just an alright man, because I'll take your dance partner from you now whilst you skulk away, empty handed!" :|

I say, let's buy him more drinks or something so he gets sloppy and then we take all of his pretend money. :p

I pick the same sword each time every time he asks me to a duel or to pick another weapon. Uhh, I liked the rapier the first time, thanks. So far, I've won 2/3 and didn't use this method the first time, so I lost.

I like how you think... Saaay, Bourgeoisie or whatever your name is, does this drink taste like horse tranquilizers to you?

I'll try that next time. Seeing as using logic and strategy clearly doesn't work. >_>

I think I've had around 12 duels and I've only won 3 times. xD I'd love to use my Natasha on him.

Ha! thank you, and I like that gif.

Anyway, I spent a bit too much time thinking about this today, so here's a terrible little plan, after all, this sort of thing needs a plan right?

You (that is, the generic you) get into a duel with Boudewijn. You inevitably lose. After he's finished his "great man" speech, you insist that he's truly is the most impressive swordsman you've ever gone against and such a gentleman too. Surely a gentleman like him must let you recoup a little of your own honor by a least buying him a drink? After all, he's earned it. (and he hates buying his own food and drink at this thing anyway) Since he's a gossip and complainer, he'll undoubtedly start to go on about something. You nod and agree and keep refilling his drink (with a bit of insistence so the barkeep will over pour or slipping a little something in yourself); all the while you stick with something virgin. [sub](and I don't mean Boojie. haha.)[/sub] He'll start to loosen up and explain how difficult it is to have money, how stressful it is to wear -just- the right mask/costume, everyone is judging him! and how overbearing his mother can be, how he really only duels to show others how much of a man he is and to be given some of the respect that he knows he deserves... nod, agree, drink.

Boojie'll be a bit of a mess at this point, so you do the proper thing and tell him that you'll help him find a nice, quiet place to sit down and just breathe. You help him up and across the Ballroom. He'll continue to bring up his slurred dreams of living a simple life and having a goat farm in Veta and how mother would never allow that, as you are parting one of the thick, red curtains. (hopefully Adriette is not already there...) This is just what he needed, he'll ramble as he attempts to sit down, and you know he's never had someone be so kind to him before? is this what having friends is like? and right as he's at his high for the evening you slide the blackjack out of your jacket pocket to give it a quick swing. He will crumple to the floor, so that you may quickly loot his pockets and be done with this. He'll wake up later and blame the headache on all the drinks he had; he did get quite sloppy towards the end. He'll also have this weird spot of warmness in his heart though he won't remember what exactly from. Probably just heartburn from the overpriced food.

Now who wants to go and get a drink? After all I'm buying~ ;)

Won nine duals and lost two or three here. I nearly always chose the dagger first, sometimes the sword or the other way around, he often uses the rapier I think. Have quite often won very quickly too.

Most likely it's pure luck, but pretty sure I'd heard someone else mention they thought that not choosing the rapier helped, so thought it might be worth mentioning.
