Didn't help much. The wind had swept down the middle of the street, whatever street it was, and kept it nearly clear, but the drifts were banked high against the buildings on either side. "Doesn't look to me like we're going to find anything here," Dinnian said. "Maybe we should go home and come back another day. A day in the SPRING." Kailie Rhinn looked up at him. "I never figured you to be wussy about the weether, Din." "Hey, I come from a long line of Shews who have survived bad winters! That means that my ancestors have had the sense to come in out of a blizzard. How can I do less? It's traditional." He rubbed the snow off his eyelashes (gently, to avoid cutting his face with the ice particles) and looked around at the blank-faced buildings and the piled snow. "Whoever you're looking for, even if you find him, isn't going to come out in this. And--" he went on quickly to cut off her comment, "he probably isn't going to let you in--you look like an abominable snow woman--so you can't ask your questions anyway. Besides, what's the rush?" She sent him a look hot enough to melt the snow in his hair. "You wouldn't understand. It's private. Personal." She did her own looking around and sighed. "Today, probably pointless. I'll come back." * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 663): SHORT SKIRT of HOT STUFF (Papa Bear, mgr.)

SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, CHILDREN OF LLYR, since ON THE ROCKS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SELENE win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SELENE beat OVEN OUTAGE and OVEN OUTAGE lost 5 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, MURSKA may be getting bland, as ST MAGDALENE 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, MURSKA? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? URBAN JUNGLE was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was ON THE ROCKS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DINNIAN was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to NOEL of URBAN JUNGLE for challenging up by 18 to TARRAN O'HAREC. NOEL lost to get 9 points of recognition. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's morgue. More variety. SEA DOGS has cause to pause today, as ABEL BROWN was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. Nipped in the bud, you might say, was DINNIAN of CHILDREN OF LLYR this turn. Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as have a belly laugh. Heh heh. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? What does the MURSKA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ST MAGDALENE 4144 18 18 0 100 ON THE ROCKS (175) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SECOND WATCH 4166 12 5 0 113 SEA DOGS (377) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OBAN 4213 8 3 0 88 ON THE ROCKS (175) ABEL BROWN 4191 11 8 3 85 SEA DOGS (377) HAMMERHEAD 4129 18 17 2 77 SEA DOGS (377) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DECEMBRE 4197 13 8 1 58 URBAN JUNGLE (259) BANFF 4203 11 7 3 58 ON THE ROCKS (175) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KAILIE RHINN 4195 8 17 0 46 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) LORD SNOW 4200 11 9 0 45 URBAN JUNGLE (259) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KELLY GALL 4236 4 1 0 33 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) FROZEN IMAGE 4227 3 3 1 33 URBAN JUNGLE (259) TARRAN O'HAREC 4219 7 3 0 29 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SKADI 4216 1 9 1 21 URBAN JUNGLE (259) SELENE 4029 1 0 0 19 ERRATA (371) TURKEY TARTARE 4229 2 0 0 16 THANKSGIVING HORROR (383) KORMEK AP KAI 4247 1 0 0 15 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) OVEN OUTAGE 4232 1 1 0 10 THANKSGIVING HORROR (383) NOEL 4239 1 2 0 9 URBAN JUNGLE (259) -ALARM 4215 0 1 0 7 ERRATA (371) RABEL 4246 1 1 0 4 ON THE ROCKS (175) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
