                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Make that title number three.  Two more fights and I am outta here.  All I need
are two wins or two living losses.  I think I will focus on the former.
     I have little to say to all of you, so I thought that since The Flower Girls are
now such a new team, (18FE, 2FE, 2FE, 0FE, 0FE) that I would give you a rundown on
US.
Daisy, Holly, Marigold, Pansy, Sunflower
Deadly, Haughty, Mad, Petulant, Searing
ST 8,9,10,19,21
CN 6,9,11,11,20
SZ 10,12,13,15,17
WT 5,11,13,14,15
WL 9,15,15,16,20
SP 6,8,10,11,13
DF 7,9,10,11,11
     Clearly I am the leader, the winningest, the hottest, and the best of the lot.
Come and get me.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  FLOWER GIRLS is no joke as it posted a 5-0-0 week advancing from 2nd 
place to 2nd place.  Hey everybody, watch out for WEI YAN, who flew up 23 points in 
the rankings after mashing UNREADABLE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was BOMBATTA, who dropped 8 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with MOE SKEETO.  Well here's a duelmaster that 
doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  PETULANT PANSY made a Bloodfeud against 
SALINA REES this week.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody 
knuckles was MIDDLE WAY 8's SALINA REES, who was turned away from the Duelmastership 
by PETULANT PANSY.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? 
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid DRAGONS GUARD II, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does FRATSFA really have that 
many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause 
OTTO'S PARTS beats feet every time DRAGONS GUARD II smiles at them.  Try farming, eh? 
And who is this SUN QIAN you ask, with 58 points and a 11-16-1 record.  Ooh, the 
tales I could tell!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  I have no doubt that WAH CHING 
will be celebrating long and loud their warrior WEI YAN's slaying of UNREADABLE on 
the sands.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly 
buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the FRATSFA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Salina -- Take that!  Actually, we Flower Girls have no hard feelings about the
death.  Arena stuff happens.  But I do like challenging you.  You know some tricks!
-- Petulant Pansy

Polite beggar -- Thank you for being so.  You paid.  You let me practice.  (Oh, boy,
did you let me practice! -giggle-)  You let me finish on top.  You tipped well.  I
think I just might love you. -- Searing Sunflower

Salina -- Hosta?  Hasta?  Potato, Potatoe.  You sends 'em in to The Commission, and
who knows what one gets back. -- Dead and gone Hateful Hasta

Jorja -- Sometimes the world forgets that the Flower Girls have one other craft.  The
subtle, quiet, deadly one.  The whole Flower Shoppe (flowers and pleasure) was set up
as both a business and front for quiet lady assassins in Lady Sheila's employ.  Long
have The Flower Girls done this work, which seems less and less necessary as the
cities and politics of Alastari and surrounding dwindle. -- Lady Fern
P.S.  Hence the naming structure--alliterated flowers and fear

COnflict -- ???  2 Skills in a fight???   I barely remember what getting 1 skill in a
fight looks like. -- Fat Lip

Ellis Tate -- Seems I'm a little more painful than a Migraine. -- Stubbed Toe

Ursila Rilvar -- Seems I need to change my approach a bit.  Letting you control the
flow is not good for the nerves. -- Cracked Knuckle

Bombatta -- You don't seem to be up to the Dragon's Guard standard. -- Runny Nose

Moe Skeeto -- Shoe Fly??  You are bugging me. -- Massive Migraine

Leia -- I just wanted to see the dragons. -- Graffiti

Wei Yan -- Hopefully I'll be way, way up soon. -- Hidden

Sun Qian -- You're a fine teacher, even for someone who can't read. -- Unreadable

Oh-three for us, so we guess this isn't the time to suggest to Jorja that she hunt
out the paperwork for the last two slots on the team.  A salute to Petulant Pansy
(you should be careful, your face might freeze in that scowl!) on the successful
bloodfeud. -- Salina Rees
