January 5th, 1890 — Headquarters of the London Society for the Practice of Combative Magic

A more curious pairing Tybalt thought he'd never seen (though perhaps he was to blame for this; his department did have a little something to do with the arrangements of this whole affair) - but nevertheless, the most unexpected pairings were often the best. And where better for people to encounter circles of the world they didn't usually than in a highly-stylised magical battle? Merlin, for all he knew this queer pair would fall in love over a Disarming Charm and the next thing Witch Weekly would know was that they'd run away together!

Well, one could hope. Having issued (the rules), Tyb gestured at the man first. "If you'd start us off, Mr. Mondragon!"
