Fratsfa:
The slum they were in decayed into a worse slum, and that faded into an area
that was half ruins and half buildings that just managed to stay upright. There were
people in the ramshackle structures even so. Sizzling Sunflower saw one woman
dressed in rags--literally in rags, and it was impossible to guess her age--staring
at them as though they were the most alien and fantastic beings imaginable. Perhaps
they were, here.
Lenpro touched her arm. "Don't stare at them," he said quietly.
"How can they live like this?" Sunflower demanded.
"A wise man once said to me that if you don't know where people are coming from
and where they're going, you can't judge the route they've chosen."
"That sounds, I don't know, profound or something, but what does it mean?"
"It means you should let be, until someone actually asks for help, or at least
until you know more." They turned a corner--there were no long straight avenues
here--and approached the crumbling wall that enclosed the Old Ruins.
Lenpro frowned. The wall was shimmering, faintly but unmistakably. Or maybe it
weren't, maybe it was just heat waves or sun reflecting off snow. Both at once? It
was an odd thing, anyway, and probably magical, and as such it should be approached
with caution. And preferably with a mage in hand, but Fandil wasn't here. Lenpro
didn't think they had time to waste going back to get him. He glanced at Sizzling
Sunflower.
She was staring at the wall, wide-eyed. "Weird!" she said, and smiled. "This
should be something new, let's try it!"
Lenpro shook his head. It was a long time since he'd been that young. But
maybe hers was the right attitude anyway. "Yes, let's." He stepped up to the
gateway.
The sensation was a familiar one: they had stepped through some kind of
dimensional gateway. And if he'd had any question about that, what he saw beyond it
would have made all certain. They were not on Ghea any more.
The buildings were as ruined as he had expected in this oldest part of Fratsfa,
if it still was based on that city. But heaps of rubble reared into narrow mounds of
unnatural height, and broken walls loomed and tottered, seeming to hang in mid-air
when they should be collapsing. The flagstoned streets lay at unexpected angles, and
sometimes there was nothing at all between the stones. They say people, more than
Lenpro had expected, but not one who appeared normal. He began to wonder how he
appeared to them and glanced over at Sizzling Sunflower.
She looked half plant, or maybe like a sunflower that was half human. She
touched his arm with one leafy green hand. "This is so neat! It's a whole other
world here!" When she smiled, her teeth were striped like sunflower seeds.
"It is that," Lenpro agreed. He glanced back to check on their line of retreat.
They didn't have a line of retreat, there was no sign of the gateway through which
they'd come.

SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! MENAGERIE posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.
Everybody loves a winner... Practice pays for DEATH RATTLE, who pummelled KETTELMAN,
to pocket 13 points. KETTELMAN certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after
losing to DEATH RATTLE and losing 9 points in the process! The arena was more
crowded than usual this time, as FLESH FLAYER faced CALEAM's Duelmaster. AMARANTH
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by FLESH FLAYER of ULTRA-VIOLENT. Does
CALEAM have no one talented enough to dethrone her? So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
And how sociable are CALEAM's warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble eagle
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of ULTRA-VIOLENT, alone and
unchallenged. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, MENAGERIE scurried away
from ULTRA-VIOLENT. Oh, the shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, SUZETTE CREPPAY is the most
challenged warrior.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. CALEAM, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Swinging Aardvark. 'Til
next time-- Novgorodny Vir

All -- Nice replacement for Heart Breaker, sz 17 wt 4; let's try that again. -- Deep
Thought
Veteran Mercenary -- I lost my DM Throne because of you...sniff...I'm gonna tell. --
Knee Breaker, spoiled brat
Amaranth -- Suzette overstuffed me on her little pastries and put me over fighting
weight. I gotta hit the gym and try again. Congrats on the DMship. -- Gut Buster
Fallen -- Well, pick yourself up! Why lie on the floor? Even in a well-run kitchen,
it isn't the cleanest place you could be. -- Suzette Creppay
Virginal Concubine, oh, um, shoot. Talk about your picky eaters! -- Kettelman
The Ambitous Guard, alas, is NOT a picky eater, but he's a damned hungry one. You
can't fill the man up, try how you may. -- Spitzin
If the Noble Assassin (oh, ha!) wants brandy, he's come to the wrong lunch counter.
And no way does he get a free meal from me. -- Short Order Joe
All I did was offer the Virginal Concubine a little advice on her color choices, and
now she's all over me! I didn't plan on THIS. -- Corot Toro
If there were supposed to be more personals here, our apologies. Hal spent a
night on the tiles, and we're still trying to catch up with the mail. They
should, well, they might appear next time.
