Fratsfa:

     Fandil paced in the cramped back room of the Flower Shoppe.  The information
he'd gotten from the young Fratsfan mage Elosjon should be followed out.  It could be
an important clue.  It felt urgent.  But Lenpro wasn't back yet.
     Lady Fern looked up from the geranium she was repotting.  "Sit DOWN, brother!
All this stomping around doesn't accomplish anything except to disturb the plants."
     "There's something I need to check on--quickly, mind you--outside Fratsfa, but I
can't leave until Lenpro returns."
     "Why not?"
     Fandil blinked at her.  "Ah--we started this together, you know, and I don't
feel right about going off without--"
     "You're both grown up," Fern said, "at least as much as men ever are.  If Lenpro
hasn't returned, it's because he feels what he's doing is important, too.  When he
does get back, I'll tell him where you've gone and why.  Where is the difficulty
here, Fandil?"
     "But--"
     "And take that youngster Elosjon with you before he sinks through the floor in
embarrassment.  The girls are having too much fun teasing him."

Elsewhere:

     Lenpro didn't mention the disappearance of the gate they'd come through, but
Sizzling Sunflower turned to look also.  "It isn't like we need a way out," she said.
"This is a great place, really good soil for the roots, and plenty of sunlight!"
     Lenpro looked at her, suddenly worried.  "Is this what you want for your life,
to become a sunflower completely and stand in the light with your feet in the dirt?
Bees to pollinate you and birds to harvest your seeds?"
     She turned her face, which was rounder and more like the flower she was named
for with every passing moment, toward him, and her eyes opened wide.  "Bees?"
     "I seem to recall that's how sunflowers do it."
     "BEES?"  She blinked at him, startled and dismayed.  "No!  Surely I wouldn't
become a PLANT."
     "Look at yourself," Lenpro said.  "Listen to what you've been saying."
     "The lady wants to be a plant, you shouldn't butt in," someone growled.
     Gladiator and manager turned.  Something that was half man and half feline faced
them, ears laid back and whiskers bristling.  "And this was your choice?" Lenpro
asked, indicating the hybrid form.  "To be neither one thing or the other, unwelcome
in either group?"  To ask such questions here and now was probably dangerous, the
creature looked to be balanced on knife-edge of temper, but he wasn't feeling
diplomatic.  A good fight might clear the--  No, he couldn't push things that far,
what was he thinking?  Was this place getting to him, too?  He had responsibilities,
and they did not include getting himself killed here in some pocket dimension.
"Sorry, not my business.  But the young lady is my business."
     The man-cat looked at them for a long minute, while others of this place
gathered behind him.  Other man-cats, but no two alike, something that might have
been a sort of werewolf, and many stranger forms.  Some were clearly not far from
their human beginnings, but others--he assumed they had started as human, but now it
was hard to believe that.  "You need to see the king," the man-cat decided.  "We will
take you there."
     So, a king.  Not the anarchy he had thought at first.  Was this good or bad?  A
king meant authority he could appeal to in order to get the kidnapped women returned.
But if the king said no, it meant authority on the other side, no recovery of the
women, and maybe no escape for himself and Sunflower.  Well, you played the hand you
were dealt.  He watched the denizens of this place move to surround them and herd
them through the chaotic jumble of buildings and ruins.  They weren't going to be
given a choice to decline.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for MAYOR MCLAY, who flew up 23 points in 
the rankings after mashing RUSTIE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  SPUD was beat by BAINES and drops 
5 points.  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  
SIR CARLSON made a challenge against LITTLE ROCKY this week.  Well, everybody's pal 
SIR CARLSON moved his record to 20-4-0 by defeating LITTLE ROCKY in the Duelmaster's 
Title Bout and gaining 6 recognition points.  Advice to bashers--never force 
anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid GAMEHENDGE, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does IAYE really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try 
this one:  GAMEHENDGE + Weapons That go Boom = LENPROS + Avoid City.  Well dang 
howdy, but if challenges were votes, HELP ON THE WAY would be president.  Although it 
may be a contest it doesn't want to win.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  I have no doubt that LENPROS will be celebrating long and 
loud their warrior MAYOR MCLAY's slaying of RUSTIE on the sands.  Remember:  
alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what 
happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in IAYE have no sense 
of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can 
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

What?!  Thighs is gone?!  Dark Arena?  Okay, I guess that is a successfully executed
bloodfeud. -- General Golf (the ghost of)

Diggity -- Not at all.  I love all animals.  Even cats.  (wink) -- Brother Dobbin

Sir Carlson -- All us Lenpros salute you for your continuing Duelmaster-like
performances. -- Lenpro

Help On The Way -- I am stoked!  There is something special about me overcoming
Aimers.  Yes, indeed. -- Sir Carlson

Little Rockie -- Did you have to sit on the furniture too? -- Lady Liberty

Baines -- I am not sure I was ever in that battle.  Well done, sir. -- Mayor McLay

Legs -- My experience and skills were apparently inadequate.  Very well fought, young
lady. -- Brother Dobbin

Whaddaya think, Lady Liberty?  Can we now say Brother Dobbin is a leg man? -- Mayor
McLay (trying to keep from guffawing)

Sway -- There is something about you.  I was hoping to keep it going longer just so I
could watch you shimmy. -- Major Martin

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  Iaye Forever. -- Lenpro

A Kung-Fu Master?  Huh, where *I* grew up, they just called 'em dog-kickers.  Bad
people, BAD. -- Spud

Lady Liberty -- I thought it was just a game!  I jumped up, you fell down, then I
pounced on you and growled, right?  I play games like that with lots of people.  Why
did you get so upset? -- Little Rocky

This Happy Pheasant is very suspicious.  Fortunately, I'm a bird dog and can point
him out to someone who will deal properly with him. -- Rustie

There was a whole pack of the Happy Pheasants!  Lots of fun. -- Moondog

*I* wouldn't trust that Trustworthy Scribe.  He has twitchy eyes. -- Diggity Dog
