SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in JADE MOUNTAIN! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, SAND DANCERS had
to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by CRITICALS! Way to go
CRITICALS! MVP award for CHI HO? SAND DANCERS' proud of him after beating SHIRT
TAILS and getting 16 points. Talk about yer major upsets! TRANSFORMERS' match with
MURDEROUS THRUST cost him a loss of 6 points! This Duelmaster is like something
else! UNTAMED BERZERKER stopped STONE HAMMER 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. RUNEBLADES was the most avoided team. Is a 104-97-5 record really
that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are BAD HANDWRITING!? RUNEBLADES, 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. 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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
One-four and a death? And let me tell you, that death is deeply disturbing. Not Ho
Ko Mo's death per se, who cares about him? He's from way down in the Ozarks and he
has ticks. I suppose the ticks will be leaving now. No, what bothers me is that we
know the HOW of Ho's death, by a Murderous Thrust, but not WHY he was assassinated.
What has he been up to that we never guessed? For I assure you, we never imagined he
had anything in his life that would lead to an assassination. Who did he wrong, or
what secrets did he carry? Who was groaning under his shadow? He seemed so ordinary
and inoffensive! -- Stone Hammer
Untamed Berzerker -- You know, if you tamed that, you'd be better company. I seem to
have heard of some preparation for it, "A little dab'll do you"? It might be worth a
try. -- Stone Hammer
The Happy F -- Happy? Looks more like shade-and-fruit to me. Gloating, that's what
YOU are. -- Han Kang
Transformers -- What? Shouldn't you be a golem? -- Stonefall
Murderous Thrust -- I will haunt and curse you until you reveal your principal! Who
hired you to kill me? Tell me, and I'll go haunt and curse HIM. Or her. -- Vengeful
Ghost of Ho Ko Mo
That FOOL of a Shivering Bonze tried to steal the Shirt Tails I hung out to dry last
time. I will not have this thieving! -- Meadowlark
