Challenge for Dockside

[Dimitrii Sixtus]

Baroness Gabrielle,

By a stroke of fortune I find myself in posession of a baronial challenge grant. I'm still a little shocked by this turn of events but, none the less, need to select which barony to pursue and in the end have selected Dockside. I've met very few of the current baronesses and have not been part of the Arena community long enough to develope a grudge, so my choice was simply based upon the baroness to have fought a challenge the least recently. As it turns out, that's you.

We haven't met yet and I suppose this doesn't make the best first impression, but I do look forward to this. Hopefully you'll not find it overly insulting.

Respectfully,
Dimitrii Sixtus

This challenge is valid and may proceed. The Baroness has until Wednesday, May 18, 2016 11:58:00 AM RST to respond to this challenge.

Oh come on, no need to be defensive.

I teased E one time about challenging me and suddenly everyone has kid gloves for handling me. Of course I'll meet you in the ring. Congratulations on your grant.

You're too pretty anyway, I look forward to breaking your face.

Please send some times and days that work for you to the Barony, I'll send a reply within a few days.

[Dimitrii Sixtus]

The baroness and I have agreed to Wednesday, May 25th as our challenge date, to begin at 9:30pm.

We don't have an official lined up yet, I have some more letters to write for that. Though, if you're a caller and are interested, please let me know.

"Tonight we have the Baroness Sabine Gabrielle, who - by the way - owes me tons of makeup for calling this. I want some lipgloss, oh! And if they have the kind that have a taste to them then that would be soo killer. Anyway! As you can see, her hanging banner is one of black and white! Her second is Salvador Delahada, and her dude of honor - as written - is Josiah Aubrey.

And her challenger tonight is Dimitrii Sixtus. A challenge right awarded to him from the Madness Winner Elissa Morgan. His banner is one of emerald and silver, his second is David Harada, and his lady of honor is Lirssa Sarengrave.
