                             Notes from the arena champ.

All Hail Rocanis, greatest, bestest and most unknown gem of arenas of al the land!
If anything all that butter should get me noticed by the commission, or at least by a
fine kittie groomer.  *smiles*  Best of luck o everyone less ya know, it's vs myself
or the rest of the crew.

                           C ya on the sands,

                               Purple Kitten

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  ROCANIS needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  EBRIA GANNET's match with AIRSLICER DAN cost her a loss of 15 points!  Our 
last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to RIRORNI ASSASSIN, and PURPLE KITTEN 
has made the way for a new Duelmaster!  FONZETH HILGRA of INCONSISTENT FURY takes 
PURPLE KITTEN's place.  (But seriously, who could ever take the place of PURPLE 
KITTEN?  Oh, all right.) Who was the wiseguy that said ROCANIS' Duelmaster was paying 
for drinks at The Grub & Rub Bar and Bistro?  Don't look at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of THEM must be getting lonely.  They 
were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Hhmph!  What 
kind of warriors are INCONSISTENT FURY?  THEM, an easy team to beat if I ever saw 
one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  People were asking me did FONZETH 
HILGRA REALLY challenge DILILAH FRANN?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded 
good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but DILILAH FRANN wants me to 
write about it since she was put to death by FONZETH HILGRA.  Satisfied?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  What a bunch of heartless!  I couldn't 
believe how many people were snickering when FONZETH HILGRA killed DILILAH FRANN.  So 
she had a 15-17-0, that's no excuse!  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  
I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

     There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong
     arenas.  When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct
     arena number!  It's easy for a finger to slip onto the wrong key.  When the
     receipt comes back, check again to be sure it went where you intended!
     Vigilance is your friend, and mine too. -- the Editor
