"You're looking good, Bombette. Of course, you always do...." When she
whirled, Lord Protector Fergus Hill grinned at her.
"What are you doing here?"
"I missed you, so I came back." He shrugged. "Why not? It isn't like I'm some
godling warrior to fight on the Isle."
"The Lady allows this?"
"I don't suppose she knows. I never did make it all the way to the Isle. Got
sidetracked off the coast of Ardivent, if you want to know the truth."
"Sidetracked." She snorted. "What was her name?"
"You wound me! I wouldn't do something like that. Not and then come back here,
anyway," he amended.
Bombette nodded slowly. Whatever else he might be, Fergus was trustworthy.
Even the Commission had seen that, and the gods knew they were usually blind to a
gladiator's true qualities. "Okay, I concede it and withdraw the question. What
sidetracked you?"
"It's a little complicated how it happened," he said, "there was a storm, we got
blown into a little cove where we wouldn't otherwise have gone, that sort of thing.
But the gist of it is: there was this sunken ship. The water was so clear that I
could actually read the name on her bow: Marie Celeste. And--we stayed in the cove
overnight--I had this dream." He took a deep breath and leaned closer. "Treasure!"
SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of KALTOS. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. PAPER MARIO had cause
to celebrate, after TINY TOES got 20 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. Win some,
lose some. Speaking of which, MOON CHILD was winsome, after beating ELINDE GOSS and
seeing her lose 15 points. Can you believe it? GRETZKY apparently has better things
to do as KALTOS' Duelmaster than show up and fight! What can be a greater victory?
STAR ROD has taken its place as the top, as KALTOS' new Duelmaster. So who's the
team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR
stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in TEAM
CHAOS ELITE are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of PAPER MARIO, so did that sorry team
shy from TEAM CHAOS ELITE
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure
of writing Spyreports for KALTOS? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny

PERSONAL ADS
Gretzky again? Congrats, Champ. -- Luigi and The Paper Marios
P.S. We want a DM Column. We want a DM Column.
Jorja and Crew -- Twink thanks you for the compliment. He really did it to that Wurm
Kin, didn't he? Twinked him good! -- Luigi and The Paper Marios
Overkill -- You had way too much experience and expertise for little old noisy me.
Shucks! -- Clank
Jeri -- It was fun. -- Bombette
Bombette -- I've been told that one of my teammates has, ah, "given you your just
desserts," which he said involved a lot of chocolate. Whatever. -- Jeri Lough
P.S. I don't much care for the "hair standing on end" coiffure. You might want to
rethink it.
Iron Maiden -- Those corsets aren't really good for you. Sure, with a steel corset,
you can be POSITIVE that your waist will be narrow no matter what, but how do you
eat? Obviously, you can't take anything but fluids, and this has grave
disadvantages. Unless you're a vampire, of course, but I see no sighns of that. --
Helene Juste
Wrathchild -- What a nasty temper! Somebody obviously spared the rod and spoiled the
child with you. -- Gerdig Ibbins
Gretzky -- Good save! No way I wanted the title, and I did enjoy a few days of rest.
-- Orverd Quill
That's always amusing, to be matched against the Kung-Fu Master and defeat him
because he injures himself on my parries! Gotta love it. -- Elinde Goss
P.S. Of course, he doesn't teach worth spit.
Bombette -- (wincing) Slingback pumps in the arena? Not a good plan. -- Jeri
Twink -- Well...sure. But you're still a GOLEM, and I guess you just can't help
yourself. Unless, now that you've been Called by the Grey Witch, you can get
yourself "made real," so to speak. After all, Pinocchio did it. -- Elinde
Iron Maiden -- Ooooh, come get me! -- Orverd Quill
9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
