TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"I tell you, we'd have done better to go to Lyratilan. The people here are
almost all CATS, and they just don't appreciate us." Old Howel looked at his
packmates and bared his teeth. Cats just don't understand about LOYALTY, everything
for themselves, that's cats. You wouldn't catch a Dog growling about revolution."
"But is it revolution if there's no one at the head of the pack? How long has
it been since anyone here had a sniff of the 'king' of Andoria? He's dead or gone or
SOMETHING, and the humans are all growling and snarling over who gets to lead. Soon
enough, they'll start fighting--" Spike twitched an ear. "Let 'em."
"Well, it's nothing to do with US, is it?" the Blunderdog asked. "It's all
between the humans."
"It starts there," Howel said. He flattened his ears. "But what if they start
talking about leash laws?"
"Oh. I hadn't thought of that." The Blunderdog laid down on the couch,
enjoying the fact that no one would tell him to get off. Unless the humans took
over, of course. They had a thing about hogging the furniture for themselves.
"Still, what can we do? Even if we call back all the Dogs that 'graduated', what can
we do against all the humans?"
"Bite 'em!" the Haha Hound said. His laugh was crazed, and his eyes glittered.
His packmates had decided he was part coyote, or maybe even hyena, and wholly not
sane.
"No one likes a Dog who bites without cause," Big Red said. The weight of his
stare, his slightly lifted hackle, was enough to subdue the Hound. "Even the Cats--"
"To the pound with the Cats!"
"No, we need them. They might think they're our adversaries right now, but if
the humans get out of hand, it'll be Cats and Dogs together." Big Red wrinkled his
forehead. "We should talk to some of our colleagues--the werewolves in Lyratilan,
for instance--"
"Werewolves!" Howel lifted his lip enough to flash a yellowed fang. "Half-and-
half creatures, and miserable with it."
"Not through their own choice, and they do the best they can. We may well need
all of us--werewolves and werecats, too--if we're going to hold our own against the
humans."
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in TOBIR.
Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey everybody,
watch out for MAJESTIC, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing DIAZ like
a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was
DIAZ, who dropped 18 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with
MAJESTIC. Unlike most arenas, DAISY managed to get hers challenge off against the
8-8-1 DARK HELMET. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles
was THE DEATH SQUAD's DARK HELMET, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
DAISY. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid ORDER, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does TOBIR really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling
your rasberries, cause MENTOR BLISS beats feet every time ORDER smiles at them. Try
farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, SPIKE would be
president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. Challenging down 30
points was KAMIN. Pretty soon she'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The
only way to clean up' pins. I just want to congratulate SPIKE on beating KAMIN. He
overcame his superior-ranked opponent and gained 20 points. Congrats!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

One-four, and the Haha got the win. That's rotten. He's got no dignity, and he's
weird. I mean, he doesn't MIND when people laugh at him! Us Dogs are Good Guys, and
you don't laugh at us, you know? Or we'll bite you. -- Big Red
If any gladiator or manager would care to be involved in a story, either a bit of
"local color" or a serious tale, just let me know. -- Jorja
