The party was winding down, but from the looks of things, all had enjoyed it.
Jorja was eating a last slice of fresh bread with garlic butter, Luigi was finishing
off a last bottle of beer, Helene Juste was in close conversation with Arenamaster
Troktai, and Bombette and Fergus Hill had disappeared.
"Should we go look for B'bette and Fergus?" Jorja mused. "Nah, they're grown
up, even if B'bette isn't graduated yet. And they're probably doing something rated
R at the least." Her glance slid sideways to Luigi. For a man of experienced age,
he looked good. Damned good. The only important question here was, "How many beers
have you had?"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Boring, boring. How long do I have to keep this up? Winning and winning and
winning? Where's the fun? No risk, no fun. I'm going to take up lion-training, I
guess. There must be some risk there? I'd say Happy New Year to you all, but I
really don't care that much.
Except, HAPPY NEW YEAR, Fergis, you big hunk! I'm w.a.i.t.i.n.g......
Bombette
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. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see WOODS win a fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, WOODS
beat GERDIG IBBINS and GERDIG IBBINS lost 19 points. You're breakin' my heart.
BOMBETTE challenged JERI LOUGH for KALTOS' Title this turn, and guess what happened?
And if variety is the spice of life, KALTOS may be getting bland, as BOMBETTE stays
top dog in the city. 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. THE
MIDDLE WAY 5, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like TEAM CHAOS
ELITE avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask
me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, JERI LOUGH was this turn's most
challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the KALTOS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! 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
Jorja -- We are all looking forward to the party and the spread! -- Luigi and The
Paper Marios
Moon Child -- Well, I have to agree. You look quite, er, uh, enticing in your
moonlight shined bare skin. You do! -- Luigi
Jeri -- Where would I be without all our time together? -- Bombette
P.S. Pressure? Boring!
Woods -- What club were you using against that Shewish Giant? A mashie? Well done!
-- Luigi
Zaharius -- I can whack with the best of them! -- Tiny Toes
Montana -- Too many head hits and concussions, I think; but you were the greatest in
your day. -- Slinky
Bombette -- What *I* think is, the gladiators on the Isle are jealous of your ability
and are blocking your advancement. -- Jeri Lough
Moon Child -- It was the full moon last night, coming right after the two-weeks-ago
new moon when we fought, that just knocked me off my feet. That, and you. What a
babette! -- Orverd Quill
P.S. As to the picture you make with the moonlight on your bare skin, ulp! (tongue
hanging out) (choked voice) Uh...yeah, cool....
Iron Maiden -- I don't care, I will NOT wear a steel corset. Or any other kind. The
"sports figure" and free movement, that's me. -- Elinde Goss
P.S. I'd rather dress in silk than steel.
That Khalhums Dwarf is just SOOO frustrating! A despicable hairy creature. -- Gerdig
Ibbins
Brady -- Two oh two? You are an incredibly nasty person. -- Ghost of Iltoming Kupp
Kaos -- Flu shots are overrated. I know plenty of people who can get the flu without
one. As to hospital costs--ha! I had occasion to loan the Infirmary money last
year, they were sliding into a deep hole, and now they OWE me. I thought about
finessing them on this, but I"m a basher at heart. I just show up swinging a mace
nonchalantly, and they fall all over themselves to be helpful. -- Jorja
P.S. Somebody probably told 'em that I got four kills before I graduated.
Bombette -- Well, of course! I like your COMPANY, too, but I would rather beat up
somebody else. Like maybe...some standbys. -- Jeri
Venzo da'Kraliano, Mercenary and Sword for Hire -- Hey! Watch your mouth, bub! --
Gerdig Ibbins
Ah, heck, we JUST MISSED the "critical number" of five to get someone to write
personals for us. Not that we need help composing them, but somebody's got to
transcribe them and turn them in to the Commission, and that someone isn't cheap.
Five standbys can swing the load, four can't. Bummer. -- Venzo da'Kraliano,
Mercenary and Sword for Hire
