                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Me? Duelmaster? Neat! I wouldn't have expected it out of one like me, a mediocre 
ole ripper. Know what I mean? Maybe the 5-3 I had at the Tempe FTF helped? You think? 
But really, now, that isn't so special. Maybe it is my "special" design? Well, now, I 
can assure you that is not special? Maybe it was just plain luck. So? I'll take luck.
     So put that in your pipe and eat it. (At a Diner's Club restaurant, of course.)

                              Diner's Club, A new Duelmaster brought to you by Credit.

                                      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.  Uncool, KNIGHTS OF 
NI.  I mean 0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for 
training practice!  MVP award for PEACE AND?  Q IS FOR QUIET's proud of her after 
beating HOUSTON FARMER and getting 27 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  
WHISPER's match with ANVIAM cost her a loss of 3 points!  Oh, wow, like the 
Duelmaster must be the most popular beast in all ROCANIS.  It got the most 
challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Don't you think the Duelmaster is being 
unfair?  I think DINER'S CLUB should let GILBERT IRDAN be Duelmaster for a while, 
without fighting about it.  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  KNIGHTS OF NI 
was the most avoided team.  Is a 539-492-33 record really that scary?  Is there some 
deep dark secret why Q IS FOR QUIET's been avoiding KNIGHTS OF NI so much?  Or is it 
just that they're too scared?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
