Orverd Quill stared at his fortune cookie. "There's a paper in this cookie," he
said. "It's got writing on it. Do you figure it's part of the recipe that fell in
while the cooks were baking, and we should take it back to them so they can make more
fortune cookies?"
Elinde Goss patted him on the elbow, being too short to reach his shoulder.
"No, I think it's supposed to be there, Orv. It's your fortune. Break it open and
let's find out what it says."
"There are cooks who know about my fortune?"
"I don't think so, Orv. Probably there's a magician who does the fortunes for
them."
"Oh." He broke the cookie and squinted at the slip of paper. "It says...I will
live in interesting times." The gladiator blinked a couple of times. "Okay.
That'll probably be fun. Maybe I can catch the Grandfather fish off the end of the
wharf."
"You and your dumb Grandfather fish," Fergus Hill muttered, coming up behind the
two. "I don't think there IS such a fish in the bay."
Orverd brightened immediately. "You're just jealous," he said, grinning. "YOU
can't catch so much as an old boot."
"Why would I want to catch a boot?" Fergus looked down at his feet, shod in
sandals with hobnailed soles. "I don't wear boots. It's against nature to close in
your feet--"
"We've heard that rant before, Fergus," Elinde said quickly. "How about if we
skip it today? And, by the way, what brought you out here?" She swept a hand around
to indicate the Middle Way's run-down guildhouse, the yard full of neatly stacked
salvage from buildings coming down anywhere on the island and beach gleanings (the
Middle Way did a steady business in scrap lumber and miscellaneous bits and pieces),
and the rickety dock with its stable of rowboats.
"Came for a boat," Fergus said. "Word is there's something in the water off the
Whistling Rock, but nobody wants to risk the currents there to find out what. So I
thought I'd go." This was not as crazy as it sounded. Because the Middle Way spent
so much time going after salvage, they were all good in tricky water, and Fergus was
arguably the best.
Both his teammates looked interested. "Want some help?" Orverd asked.
Fergus looked at the water in the bay, which was restless with a coming storm,
then squinted at the sky where clouds were assembling rapidly. And it was already
afternoon; this would have to be done quickly if he wanted to be back on land by
dark, which he did want. Having an extra pair of oars in the water wouldn't hurt.
"Sure. Let's go."
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
KALTOS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. KALTOS saw the first turn for TEAM
CHAOS ELITE, a 4-1-0, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice.
Take note friends, take note. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see
OVERKILL win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. SUSHIE challenged KALTOS'
Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
SUSHIE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh.
I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know
what's new, don't you, KALTOS?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. What's
the big D? THE MIDDLE WAY 5 was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered...
grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like PAPER MARIO avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. FERGUS HILL was
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh. Now here's guts and stupidity all rolled into one, PELE
challenged up 27 to take on FERGUS HILL of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. My sides still hurt
from laughing about FERGUS HILL losing and giving PELE 26 points of recognition. Ha
ha ha ha!!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of KALTOS. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Mickey Mantle -- There you go smashing my self-esteem by taking me to the seats! You
are just a big Yankee Doodle Dandy. -- Sushie
Fergus Hill -- You are a meanie, meanie, meanie! -- Twink
Jeri and Overd -- Thanks for the memories. -- Star Rod and Bombette
Ouch! A 2-2! Not Paper Mario quality. Not! -- Luigi
Gretzky -- I like to see an energetic man, yes, I do. Especially when he trips and
falls on his face, or, of course, another part of his anatomy. Maybe you need wind
sprints? -- Elinde Goss
Twink -- Too bad you're a golem, you'd be more fun if you were a woman. Of course,
it is kinda fun using you as a giant tiddlywink.... -- Fergus Hill
Star Rod -- You know, if you could emit light from that thing on the top of your
head, it might be really useful in getting around at night. How do you feel about
small boats? -- Jeri Lough
P.S. But what about water? Would you, ah, "short-circuit" if you got wet?
Bombette -- Oh, chick, I'm sorry, okay? I figured I'd be done in time to take you to
dinner tonight, but something came up. How about a rain check? -- Orverd Quill
P.S. If it's something really cool, I'll...no, I can't cut you in on it unless
Fergus okays it. He's got first disposal on this one, if it's anything interesting.
Well, I tell you what, *I* will find some cool salvage for you! How's that for an
offer?
The Persistent Beggar is a fool, but then, we knew that. -- Helene Juste
Star Rod -- Hey, you think THAT is mean? You should see me when I'm annoyed. --
Fergus Hill
Star Rod -- (sadly) Yeah. But we won't be there till March. -- Elinde
P.S. The boss says you shouldn't have moved away from Show Me Central, which is
where WE are now.
Star Rod -- Well, more of a default strategy. It is better than 1-1-1 HE HE, but
only just. -- Jeri Lough
