Their "quarters," it was supposed to be, but it was only the attic over the Homicidal Maniacs' guildhouse, with partitioned sleeping alcoves at the ends. "Those Maniacs will destroy us," Fianna Quinn said. "At first I thought they would be content to let us 'evaporate'--die or graduate and empty out the team, simply block the appearance of new members. But now... I think they will actually take action against us." Daria Oro shrugged. "Well, they ARE maniacs. Not much we can do about it." "We can fight!" That was Buster Marne, looking up from his bowl of stew. "If they're maniacs, doesn't that mean we're smarter?" "What's the use of smarter against a dagger in the back?" Daria asked. "If we come to open conflict, we won't DARE go out at night, or so much as cross the end of an alley--" She shrugged. "If we could fight them in the arena, it might be different." "We need allies," Ethelbert Potts said slowly. He stared at his own bowl of stew, not that there was much left to see, and nodded twice. "The Random Maniac, that's where we'll start." "But... he's one of them!" "Well, yeah, but he's got standards, though you wouldn't think it to look at him." Ethelbert grinned. "Maybe it was all the time he spent fighting the Mighty Morals before he graduated." "'Bert's got a point," Fianna said. "I don't say Random would help US, as such, but if he thought the alleys were being 'misused' by the current Maniacs, he might take steps." "And maybe the Brick Wall, too," Daria suggested, becoming enthusiastic. "What brick wall?" "The one people beat their heads against, I think. It graduated even longer ago, but I've heard about it. I think it has... morals, too. Ah, 'four-square and high-fired' is the phrase I've heard. Most of the older Maniacs, well, they ARE maniacs, but these two... might be ones we could work with. We might even get our fifth member enrolled!" * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===DELARQUAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 1 MORDANT (turn 741): BOBO THE DOG BOY of CARNIVAL FREAKS (Chuck, mgr.)

Oh, well. MVP award for PAXTON? CAT'S MEOW's proud of him after beating ALDON and getting 33 points. Like SERPENTS' HOLD's BOA is sweating since it got challenged by Duelmaster BOBO THE DOG BOY! Was that a tear I saw in BOA's eye, as it took over Duelmastership? And wasn't BOBO THE DOG BOY 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? TWO-HEADED FERRET is being unfair. He's challenged down 22 against MARY MARY. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) Is this how CARNIVAL FREAKS advances, by having their members (TWO-HEADED FERRET) fight people that are really below them (MARY MARY)? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MORDANT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do? 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. Its been really albendranius!

There often was, but surely not now? Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today, frowned at them. A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter. "I want a name-change," he said. "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling Eyeball'? My name is Joe, and I want to use it." A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him. "And I am really tired of being known as 'DA Bait'." She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood. "I'd like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think." The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and dangerous. Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success. He raised his voice, too. "We'll do it! A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork lined up! Two or three months, maybe--" The gladiators howled in protest at the delay. "No, listen! The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything straight. You've got to be patient. It WILL happen!" * * * * * Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of January. If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
