I don't know how it was that I was able to break up that funnel cloud-- Well, okay, it was my greater experience, unless he has tourney fights, but still. It must be some kind of sympathetic magic. The cloud spins thusly, I leap into the wind and spin anti-thusly, and hey-presto! The funnel fades away. I like it. Samara SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of KATI-TEI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see NATION win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, THE HAND OF DOG beat WAY OF THE WICKED and WAY OF THE WICKED lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, KATI-TEI may be getting bland, as SAMARA stays top dog in the city. The Warty Toad, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From KATI-TEI's trash dumps? He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. KATI-TEI, I am losing what little hope I had in you. WANDERERS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was THE PLAGUE. Ha ha ha ha! ENGLISH BULLDOG was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I notice TRIPLE DAWG DARE challenging down 17 points to fight GAY DECEIVER, DA DOG POWNDAZ doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And golly gee, TRIPLE DAWG DARE bested GAY DECEIVER. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, STRAY CAT was challenged by DAWG TAGS, who was ranked 27 points below him. And sure, DAWG TAGS lost alright, but gained 1 recognition for his pains. And pains they may indeed be! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for KATI-TEI's morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the KATI-TEI arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
