"Why does Jorja say it's 'good' to have this Flagg guy show up? Did you think it was good, Grimm?" Getting no immediate answer, he prepared to raise his voice over the steady low roar of the wind, but it wasn't necessary. The Grimm Lurcher finally shrugged, not looking up from the leather he was oiling. "It was a fight. I lost. So what? Not the first time, and it won't be the last." After a moment, he added, "It makes a change. Most of the gladiators here, we see them every day. Practice in the same dojos, eat in the same cafes, drink in the same bars... a new face is good." The wind-roar was suddenly pierced by a shriek. Without thought, every person in the guildhouse was standing, gripping a weapon. Grimm blew down the lamp chimney to put it out. They waited in the darkness for a repeat of the scream, or some other sound that was out of place on this windy night. Five minutes passed slowly and uneventfully. They began to relax. "Maybe it was just... a weird bit of wind sound," Marlin Reeve suggested. He didn't sound convinced, but he did sound hopeful. "Maybe the Storm Front's taken on a screaming wind? Or one of the Birds, or...." "Maybe the Red Tentacle has trapped some poor wretch in an alley," Samara whispered. "Better him than us!" "Sam! That's a rotten thing to say." Grimm lit the lamp again so that he could glare at her. She blinked back. "Why? We're all thinking it, why is it worse to say it out loud?" Marlin smiled without humor. "Hypocrisy makes society possible," he said. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 332): ZITHER of Z GLADIATORS (Z-Man, mgr.)

The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to KATI-TEI once again! What's with THE HAND OF DOG? He actually beat WANDERERS' SAMARA, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BIRDS while they watched DODO clobber OLD YELLER. He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. What a role model for KATI-TEI's young 'uns! NYPD becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for WANDERERS' outstanding member, Duelmaster MARLIN REEVE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, THE PLAGUE! Management must be dealin', as the boys at DA DOG POWNDAZ ain't reelin'! THE PLAGUE's mad! What do people see in GRIMM LURCHER? His 20-18-0? WANDERERS ain't talkin', but he's got 84 points. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? KATI-TEI is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

My manager says that he's going to give only one more chance! -- Funnel Klowd Fratsfan Noble -- Sorry about that! I actually wasn't head hunting! -- Whyte Squall Does that mean you're going to give it back? Lavo Vaughn -- Didn't see that one coming! Let's do that again after I work out a little more. -- Wrolling Thunder FDNY -- You can really pack a wallop! -- Tore Naydo Which isn't easy. Wallops are so irregular that they need specially built cases if they're to be packed well. Flagg -- Welcome back to Kati-Tei! Hopefully we can return it to its former glory. -- Storm Lord, mgr. Storm Front Flagg -- Good to see you back in the game. -- Jorja, Wanderers Dust Devil -- You made me sneeze. I can't fight while I'm sneezing. Next time, stand still and don't kick up all that dust, okay? -- Stray Cat Jehan -- I wasn't expecting you, I wasn't ready for you, I blew it. Good fight. -- Grimm Lurcher P.S. You remind me of a teammate, graduated some time ago, named Jehu. Any kin? The Virginal Concubine was easy. I'm a little surprised at that. Ah... must be an old name? -- Marlin Reeve The Hand of Dog -- More like a paw, if you ask me. Nothing wrong with paws, of course, though they make it hard to play the piano. -- Samara Why do they call this Scribe "Trustworthy"? He seems suspicious to me. Shifty and light-fingered. I wouldn't trust him an INCH. -- Stella Marie LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DODO devastated OLD YELLER in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. FIREHYDRANT DEFILER slimly lost to MARLIN REEVE in a 2 minute Challenge Title battle. ENGLISH BULLDOG was overpowered by WROLLING THUNDER in a 1 minute Challenge duel.

SAMARA was devastated by THE HAND OF DOG in a 1 minute mismatched match. TORE NAYDO handily defeated AMBITIOUS GUARD in a 1 minute uneven fight. WHYTE SQUALL was viciously subdued by RUTHLESS JAYWALKER in a 2 minute gruesome duel. FUNNEL KLOWD won victory over STRAY CAT in a 1 minute fight.
