Nothing special. Darkish, of course, because it was narrow and the buildings were windowless. Dirty, trash always accumulated in alleys. Smelled like cats, which was annoying but better than having rats under foot. The Random Maniac hefted his axe and balanced lightly on the balls of his feet, the way he'd been taught in the arena. His headache was intense, but it wouldn't last. Soon, someone would come along, and he would strike, relieving the pain in his head by putting it into someone else's. This wasn't one of his regular alleys, but someone--he couldn't remember who, now--had suggested that there would be some really good targets here come nightfall. He had a vague feeling that a "really good target" would be better than just "whoever came along." Somebody had said that to him. Maybe more than once, it was the repeated stuff that stayed with him. And he would be ready. So long as that Wall-- No! There it WAS! He could hear the grate of brick on brick, actually feel the approaching barricade of disapproval. Who told the Brick Wall it could judge him? The thing wasn't even alive! The Maniac looked at his axe and noted that the butt of the head was broad and solid. Maybe he could use it like a sledge on that cursed Wall-- Worth a try. He set his feet and balanced the axe over his shoulder, ready to strike the first blow. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 668): FLOOD SURFER of HOMICIDAL MANIACS (Jorja, mgr.)

Honesty, I think you should suggest to your manager that you get a new name, something along the lines of "Open-Handed Generosity." I don't know if it was the political points or the rating that tipped me over the edge, but I'll take it. My thanks. Details on request, as I'm not likely to run on the Isle. The waters there just aren't interesting. I think I'll go out to the edge of the continent, probably the southern edge, where there's SERIOUS surf but the people are still fairly civilized. Flood Surfer SPY REPORT I can't believe the violence in MORDANT! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for WAELGAEST? SWEORDMASTERS' proud of her after beating CHINA BULL and getting 16 points. Talk about yer major upsets! CHINA BULL's match with WAELGAEST cost him a loss of 10 points! CRATER FACE thinks its 19-3-0 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? Was that a tear I saw in CRATER FACE's eye, as it took over Duelmastership? And wasn't FLOOD SURFER fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that said MORDANT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Conan's Place? Don't look at me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? SWEORDMASTERS was the most avoided team. Is a 600-533-68 record really that scary? I don't know what MIGHTY MORALS II's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from SWEORDMASTERS, that's fer sher. Like, is CHINA BULL popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of MORDANT! He's got a 21-26-0, is that good? Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!

I'm hungry now, if only I didn't hurt so much. -- Josh Flood Surfer -- Another fine fight and while close, you best me again. Clearly you are deserving of your ascension and title of Lord Protector. Congrats. -- Honesty China Bull -- Sorry, but I took a hit to the head during the recent flood. I think it might have been a surfboard that hit me, of all things. Rain check on carousing? -- Honesty Looks like we're ALL OVER the front page. Not every position, but plenty. Hmm. -- the Homicidal Maniacs, thinking tensely Mad Mannequin again. He's actually a member of the Charinee Society, you know. I like beating up on those guys, because they're so... secretive. -- China Bull, anti- secret-society P.S. And they're elitist. Crater Face -- Before now, I did not understand what was meant by "nonplussed." But you nonplussed me. I don't like it much, so I'm going to find an alley and let my annoyance off the leash. With a sword. -- Random Maniac P.S. Or maybe an axe. Huh, the Oaf got Mad Mannequin, too! What's the deal with this? There are other standbys. -- China Bull Silisa the Snake is a nasty-tempred woman and no mistake! Hissing, spitting, biting, you name it. Didn't do her any good, though. -- Little Bear Six discards in the Dark Arena?
