                             Notes from the arena champ.

Defeat a standby and remain duelmaster.  This is not what I was led to expectd.

                                          -- Marai Djian

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  DAYLA KIV needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  MVP award for KEDGE 
PEL?  SAND DANCERS' proud of him after beating OFF DAY and getting 14 points.  Talk 
about yer major upsets!  OFF DAY's match with KEDGE PEL cost him a loss of 13 points! 
Was that a tear I saw in DET. NODDY's eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And 
wasn't MARAI DJIAN fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of PUPPY DOG PALS 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 BASH BROS MAILMAN?  PUPPY DOG PALS, an easy team to 
beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     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 if they had a fight and nobody showed 
up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     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
