                             Notes from the arena champ.

I like my popcorn popped, buttered, and tasty, with no tough hulls.  You came with too 
many tough hulls, Popcorn, so I had to shuck you out of them.  But it was a good 
fight.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in DAL SHANG!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for BLINDED?  BY THE 
LIGHT's proud of him after beating DENGAN THE TRADER and getting 20 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  LEAPIN LIZARD got smashed by GILBERT, and lost 9 points!  
This Duelmaster is like something else!  WHIR LI stopped POPCORN dead in his tracks!  
I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want 
photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All DAL SHANG ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  So THAT SMELL has one more turn to Bloodfeud SAND DANCERS' 
WHIR LI.  Big deal.  CITRUS' dead.  What's the point?  Ya just gotta go on.  Don't 
look back...  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from 
you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  DAL SHANG is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  
Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
