"Has it ever occurred to you," Alida Bern asked, "that we're dumb? To have
chosen to live in a swamp in the far north, to continue to live here through the
winter--"
"It wasn't winter when we chose," Zebd Arvin said. "And once the choice was
made, we were stuck with it. Still are. Die, graduate, or stay here." He shrugged.
"It could be worse."
Bellona Chist, handing around mugs of mulled cider, raised an eyebrow. "How?"
"We could be in Snowbound, or even Vithicar."
"The arena is closed in Vithicar."
"Right, imagine being stuck under that mountain and not even having a chance to
fight every two weeks!" Zebd shuddered. "Totally horrid thought."
"I wonder what they ARE doing up there in Vithicar," Senlum said. "Who
cares? We aren't going to look, trust me on that! It would mean an adventure, and
we aren't--I hope!--that dumb," Zebd said.

SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ALJAFIR to see
what's new. Too bad, MIDDLE WAY, but ALMOST THANKSGIVING was just too good to be
stopped. What was the name of that team who got 3-1-1 this turn for a total 20-8-1
you ask? (Sure) ZOMBIE SQUAD 2's their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award
for ALIDA BERN? MIDDLE WAY's proud of her after beating HANNABLE and getting 20
points. Talk about yer major upsets! HANNABLE's match with ALIDA BERN cost him a
loss of 13 points! What a putz! NEFARIOUS fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then
quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he was a genius... Was that a tear
I saw in ALIDA BERN's eye, as she took over Duelmastership? And wasn't HANNABLE fit
to be tied! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.
They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ALJAFIR ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Nefarious! I am so GLAD you won that fight. -- Zebd Arvin
P.S. Jorja's latest orders are "you get top team, you write a spotlight," ugh. At
least it doesn't have to be a long one to satisfy her. Or an adventure. An
adventure would be Bad.
P.P.S. I don't even mind that the fight was described as "one-sided." It probably
was, not that I can tell without the fight report. Yep, the fight reports have not
arrived. There isn't a turn in the house that ran after a week before the Face to
Face. At least, not YET. Probably they'll show up late. It's the weather. All
that snow, it may not STOP the mail carriers, but I bet it slows 'em down.
P.P.P.S. I hope you have tourney fights, by the way. Otherwise, well, I'll just
have to be terribly embarrassed.
Oh, cheese, I was "most challenged"? NOBODY was most challenged, or challenged at
ALL. -- Alida Bern
Brunhilda -- Ain't we got fun? -- Bellona Chist
P.S. I wasn't really vicious, was I? Those reporters get carried away sometimes.
Hannable -- Well, four minutes... that isn't too humiliating. I made you sweat for
it. -- Alida Bern
Reaper -- How can you reap in the winter? You can't even SEE the fields, much less
get out there with a scythe. -- Kaireen Lamar
Banshee -- Ear plugs. -- Senlum Nosh
Huh, that's just freaky! Two of the guys who DIED in the Dark Arena made the Most
Popular list! Something is wrong with this. -- Zebd Arvin
