In what was described as a stunning and unexpected development at last night’s town council meeting, Dr. Jimmy, Coma resident and town physician, challenged Coma Town Councilmember Bob Smith-Smith to a LARPing duel to determine “who’s the baddest motherfucker in town.”
Witnesses said Dr. Jimmy interrupted Smith-Smith while the councilmember was giving an update on recent additions to Denzel Washington’s Wikipedia page and repeatedly challenged the councilmember to engage in live-action roleplaying (LARP) sword fighting.
“He was like a rabid dog or ox,” Councilmember Natalie Peters said, about the general practitioner. “At one point, he started speaking in a sort of Irish-Scottish accent, which certainly made it all seem more dramatic than it probably was.”
In a statement released this morning, Dr. Jimmy stood by his challenge. “I will administer a beating worthy of inclusion in the thick, dusty books of antiquity,” Dr. Jimmy said. “I will not say any more, however, as I prefer to let my trusty blade do the talking for me.” Dr. Jimmy added that while technically his LARPing sword is not a blade, it is a sturdy piece of PVC piping wrapped in foam and can inflict pain when it hits its mark with enough force.
In his statement, Dr. Jimmy said he has been working on a number of moves and maneuvers he believes will be too much for the novice Smith-Smith to handle. He added that while he prefers traditional “freeform” LARPing, he is not opposed to a “theatre-style” duel if that is what his nemesis wants. While Dr. Jimmy did not disclose a date for the duel, he said he looked forward “to tasting the blood of Smith-Smith” very soon.
Smith-Smith declined to comment on the challenge.
