Gerbent and Scruff settled into the rear seat of the black carriage, looking
around uneasily. It was as dark inside the carriage as outside in the night, but
surprisingly comfortable if you didn't mind a whiff of sulfur now and then. It
started moving.
"Ah...shouldn't you light the lamps?" Gerbent asked.
"No." It was the Black Orc's gravelly voice. "We're engaged in Dark Deeds.
Lamps would be inappropriate. Artistically unsound."
"We're making a statement," the driver added. He didn't sound happy about it.
"Maybe you should consider stating something else?" Scruff suggested.
"Do you think we haven't considered that?" the orc growled. "The only
alternative we were offered was running the length of Alastari with scissors."
"That...isn't supposed to be a good idea," Gerbent admitted.
"The whole length of Alastari?" Scruff asked, impressed.
"Trocar to Snowbound." The driver flipped the reins as though he expected them
to set off something disastrous. The dark horses leaped forward, the carriage leaped
forward...upward?
"Which was a lesson to us," the orc said, "never to gamble with demons.
Especially not a 'friendly game' of poker. As if there is such a thing! We should
have known better."
The driver, in the voice of one who will be fair at all costs, said, "You did
know better. You tried to talk me out of it."
"Yeah, well, I'll add 'trying to talk an arenamaster out of foolishness' to the
list of things I now know better than to do. Huh, playing cards with arenamasters
should go on that list, too, I think."
Scruff could smell the driver--an arenamaster, apparently--getting ready to
argue that last point. He didn't want to listen to it, so he said, "How long will it
take us to reach Point?"
"No idea," the orc said. The carriage shifted a little as he leaned to look
over the side. "We seem to be...crossing the bay," he added. "About ten feet above
the water. I don't like it."
"Live with it," the driver advised. "Vashku said we'd run parallel to the
coast, but far enough out to miss it all. I don't care for it much, myself, but I
think the idea is to miss Ti. Or where Ti used to be."
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TOBIR once again! Woof! THE DOGHOUSE were a bunch of dogs
after FOREIGN LEGION got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! What's with
WHITE BLOOD CELL? It actually beat NO-HALF STEPPING's LOVELIFE, and walked away with
17 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BIO WARFARE while they watched
WHITE BLOOD CELL clobber LOVELIFE. He lost 6 points and got bruised from objects
thrown from the stands. Try as he might, CHICHI-HOOEY wasn't good enough at
persuading DANISH PASTRY to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be
nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses
of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. TOBIR
thinks HIGH SCHOOL PROM and their 8-3-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed,
give up... The bums at BIO WARFARE couldn't face the challenges from HIGH SCHOOL
PROM! No excuse for that!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if
CYTOPLASMIC can return from the Dark Arena. Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena
reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, ENCLOPLASMIC. That's what a
11-9-0 gets you. So FOREIGN LEGION sent RUSSIAN WINTER to the Dark Arena. Big deal.
Plenty more fighters where RUSSIAN WINTER came from. Dime a dozen... Now,
Spyreporters... Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To
die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Bwuce Ree -- You are a bad girl! Bad! You don't go beating on a good dog that way.
Rolled up newspaper, that's the ticket, not STEEL. By the Ear of the Great Hound,
what were you THINKING? -- Chichi-Hooey
P.S. May you be nipped on the heels everywhere you go, may dogs pursue you barking
whenever you attempt to sneak into your boyfriend's house. BAD girl.
Maginot Line -- Oh, you're a golem. That explains it, I guess. I never met a human
who would keep throwing the ball for THAT long. Pretty good, huh? Maybe we should
do it again? -- Scruff the Hopeufl
Lovelife -- I have no time for that, I have an adventure to experience, a golden-
haired daughter to rescue! Of course, you being a cat, you probably don't understand
the concept at all, but us dogs know what it's all about. -- Gerbent
P.S. I didn't know cats had lovelives. I thought they just had screaming sex a
couple of times a year and let it go at that.
100% -- Yep, that's what you gave to the effort this time. (sigh) I wish you
wouldn't. -- Tipar Kuroo
P.S. Give some thought to teaching with equal dedication next time.
A Convincian Hero? Dare I say that he was "un-Convincing" in the role? Let him go
play games with his secret admirer, he bores me. -- Echanosarah
Our congratulations go to Cytoplasmic, who is graduating (finally!). Go for it. --
