TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Coach walked through the doors into the drunk holding tank, thunder across his brows,
his eyes counting 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
"Of course you're all here. Why wouldn't you be here? It's not like you were all
supposed to be at the arena for your matches!"
Joseki, the leading gladiator at the school, tumbled to his feet and then some species
of attention as he growled out, "Ummm, morning Coach."
"Morning, my foot," thundered Coach. "It's taken me half the day to run you chuckle
heads down and then of course you expect me to bail you out."
By this time, Jim, the largest of the Sigma Nus, had slithered up behind Joseki
looking for all the world like he was hiding from Coach's direct gaze.
"It's not like that, Coach. We thought we had plenty of time before the Watch got
there," Jim stuttered before Mark slid up and elbowed him in the side.
"He means before we lost all our money playing pool," Mark tried to cover.
"Not helping," came Jack's voice from one of the bunks as he rolled out to his feet.
Coach just snorted as his eyes raked the boys again. "Is Alvin still alive?"
Jack looked up after a quick check. "Yes, Sir, he's still breathing."
Coach glanced at the guard with a wink. "Well, it's been brought to my attention that
I can't send your sorry butts to the Dark Arena if you're still here." He grinned as
the sighs of relief sounded in his ears. "But for the record, while I may not mind the
fines or even paying the damages to the Green Axe, there's just one bill I'm covering
that annoys the crap out of me."
"What's that?" Joseki winced.
"Your bar bill," Coach replied, rolling his eyes.
"Our bar bill?" Jack asked.
"Yeah, for all the effort you put into last night, your bill was only around 900
gold!" Coach sputtered.
"Only 900?" the boys repeated, confusion evident in their tone.
"And that's between all 5 of you. That's Pathetic," Coach said, shaking his head. "You
idiots are lightweights, I spend more gold than that on just myself when I tie one on.
Now grab Alvin and let's go."
Coach turned and marched off. Jack nudged Jim with a nod to the still sleeping Alvin
and sauntered off behind the Coach. With a shrug, Jim tossed Alvin over his shoulder
and followed the team, listening to Coach ramble.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
So to continue on with our words that you probably won't be seeing anytime soon on the
street.....
G for "Gnarly",
I for "Irk",
H is for "Hour",
J for "Jalapeno",
Which is good in either corn or flour
..........tortillas.........
Nice rhyme
K is for "Knick-knack",
L is for "Llama",
Pramma, llama, ding-dong
What's so strange about llama?
Llama, its starts with two L's
What's the second "L" for?
No idea.
I know ----- Loser.
-- Word on the Street
Open Sesame
5-Time Duelmaster of Snowbound
SPY REPORT
Hail SNOWBOUND! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. And let's see, JACK DEATH fought PERRY REESE and gained 22 points and
contributed to SIGMA NU'S' 2-3-0. MRS. SPARKLENOSE has lost to RARE BREED, falling
14 points, while helping make OPEN SESAME a 3-2-0 turn. Defending his title for
another turn, WORD ON THE STREET kept BOOK OF THOMAS' warrior, PREDATOR, from
claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Victory Tavern uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. I also notice that the 2215 BOURBON ST
stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on SNOWBOUND, what are you afraid
of? And avoiding 2215 BOURBON ST more than any other team we find OPEN SESAME.
SNOWBOUND, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans,
take notice that VIOLA WING from MIDDLE WAY 6 was SNOWBOUND's most challenged warrior
this turn.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in SNOWBOUND and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the
