                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Oh, hi.  It's just, you know, me.  I didn't really want to come inside, because 
it's totally beautiful out, except for the smoke.  Everybody burning their leaves, 
you know?  But that's okay, because you can roast a marshmallow over a leaf fire.  
And then, when the outside's all black, and the inside's all runny, you throw the 
whole thing on the fire and shriek.  This time of year is just totally gazebo.  And 
jumping in piles of leaves.  They crumble and get in your socks, and down the back of 
your neck, and everybody has fun.
     But now it's dark, but with half a moon, but still dark, so I guess I can come 
in for a little while, unless there's a good fire... no, I can't see one.  Having a 
fire at night is the best, but so many people are afraid of it getting away.  Oh, 
well.

     Here's some stuff from the office notes.  U.S. Steel got MVP after gaining 32 
points.
     Samoo, who was Lord Marshall last time, sat out, or maybe slept in today and 
lost the title.  It happens.
     Duplicate Redundancy was avoided (twice!) most (over and over again!) by 
Philanthropists (in triplicate!).
     Smug Bug got the most challenges.  I challenged a smug bug today.  It was a 
lady-of-the-evening bug, you know, like a lady bug but off color.  I challenged it to 
come close enough for me to smack it with my notepad that I write the spy report on.  
And if it crawled on my sandwich, I was really going to fry it!  But it just got 
squashed.  Not even a pumpkin, just a little squash.  I mean, I'm not cruel.  The bug 
could have run away.  I wouldn't chase it.
     Only nineteen fights?  Where IS everybody?  This is gazebo!  Four challenge 
matches.  Nobody died.

     Well, the Commission sent me all these notes, so I guess I might as well look at 
them.
     JAVELINO (56-3728) (27-19-0,58) of REDHORSE fought LULU (32-3523) (29-57-1,59) 
of FISHERMAN'S WHARF.  JAVELINO was overpowered by LULU in a 1 minute one-sided duel.  
There's a note beside this that says everyone is invited to the Wharf for porkchops 
and barbecue.
     KIMO (70-6089) (25-24-4,85) of FEAR FACTORY IV fought CASSIE (29-4574) (20-14-
1,90) of CROC FILES.  KIMO devastated CASSIE in a 1 minute one-sided contest.  I 
heard Kimo was talking about getting alligator boots.
     U.S. STEEL (49-3369) (34-37-1,108) of THE BONDS fought PUNGENT STENCH (61-2458) 
(30-15-1,134) of FEAR FACTORY.  U.S. STEEL overpowered PUNGENT STENCH in a popular 1 
minute bloody one-sided bout.  Gosh, it should have been, um, Baking Soda or 
something like that overpowering the stench, shouldn't it?  I never heard of using 
steel for it.
     TIGRESS (13-4471) (36-54-0,159) of CARDOW HUNTERS fought SUPERIOR FORCES (33-
4543) (76-121-2,150) of DUPLICATE REDUNDANCY.  TIGRESS was devastated by SUPERIOR 
FORCES in an exciting 1 minute one-sided fight.  Well, you know, of course!  It was a 
superior force, after all.

     DYNAMO (82-24403) (20-8-1,158) of PERPETUAL MOTION fought SCRAPPA (29-4411) (20-
17-2,102) of CROC FILES.  DYNAMO handily defeated SCRAPPA in a 1 minute bloody 
mismatched bout.  I don't know about Scrappa, but *I* got dizzy watching Dynamo 
whirling around the arena like that.  It was gazebo!
     MORTIFICATION (61-2333) (37-24-4,184) of FEAR FACTORY fought REDFOX (13-4197) 
(61-95-0,165) of CARDOW HUNTERS.  MORTIFICATION was vanquished by REDFOX in an action 
packed 1 minute mismatched bout.  Gosh.  This was being, like, totally outfoxed, 
right?  Wow.
     ROYLAND (56-3380) (91-63-0,190) of REDHORSE fought ARUNDA ROCKTROLL (103-35) 
(60-40-2,190) of the College of Mimes.  ROYLAND savagely defeated ARUNDA ROCKTROLL in 
a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory conflict.  You see?  I knew Royland would be like 
that.  Savage.  Nasty.  Totally unreliable.  His eyes are too close together.
     FUNNY BUNNY (55-1862) (113-141-1,200) of RHYME TYME fought RIDDLER (61-1856) 
(58-39-1,202) of FEAR FACTORY.  FUNNY BUNNY handily defeated RIDDLER in an exciting 1 
minute bloody one-sided contest.  People said that it couldn't, you know, be done.  
Not a chance.  That the Riddler would know all the punch lines and he'd GET the 
Bunny.  But it didn't work out that way.  Darn.
     MILA (55-29) (83-108-0,198) of ROCANIS RIDERS fought HOUSE MOUSE (55-221) (134-
199-2,185) of RHYME TYME.  MILA was overpowered by HOUSE MOUSE in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute one-sided match.  He probably tried to trap it with common, ordinary, yellow 
cheese.  The best mice don't do yellow cheese.  They like, you know, fancy cheese.  
Gouda.  Blue.  Or the kind with red wax on it.  One of those.

     TEXAS GLITTER (35-3509) (32-16-0,188) of EXACTLY! fought WHITEWING (13-4346) 
(33-56-0,154) of CARDOW HUNTERS.  TEXAS GLITTER defeated WHITEWING in an action 
packed 1 minute gory match.  Well, why not?  Whitewing was blinded by all those 
sequins.  TG, can you do Hound Dog?
     JELIAH BIGABO (35-3676) (29-9-2,182) of PHILANTHROPISTS 3 fought RETROVIRUS (70-
6086) (30-20-0,181) of FEAR FACTORY IV.  JELIAH BIGABO was savagely defeated by 
RETROVIRUS in an action packed 3 minute duel.  There was a note about this by whoever 
was taking the notes, I don't know which one of the office scribes it was, but I 
can't say it here.  It's too gazebo.  Sorry.
     GOLEM (35-1485) (53-41-1,245) of THE PHILANTHROPISTS fought 3 FISTED RAT BOY 
(70-6130) (30-31-3,184) of GWAR.  GOLEM vanquished 3 FISTED RAT BOY in a 1 minute 
uneven duel.  So was this one of the golems that has FOUR fists, you know, instead of 
two and two feet?
     TRYURLUCK (61-1029) (79-67-1,241) of BLOOD KNIGHTS fought LOPING WOLF (56-1796) 
(80-120-0,198) of REDHORSE.  TRYURLUCK devastated LOPING WOLF in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute mismatched match.  It was very messy, that's all *I* know about it.
     JULIUS (64-3641) (86-109-2,223) of UNDER DURESS fought GROGGY DOGGY (55-223) 
(146-192-0,225) of RHYME TYME.  JULIUS bested GROGGY DOGGY in an action packed 1 
minute gory brawl.  I guess the Doggy got all groggy again.

     SATAN CLAUS (6-5878) (22-8-0,87) of HOLIDAY HORRORS challenged MOUSE NOYLE (17-
6252) (32-50-0,100) of MIDDLE WAY.  Up 13.  SATAN CLAUS devastated MOUSE NOYLE in an 
exciting 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.  Carlos said he would do this.  After, 
you know, learning how Mouse fought.  This is called strategy.  Or maybe management.
     WE LIKE THE MOON (25-5013) (28-13-4,122) of SPONGMONKEYS challenged BINDI (29-
4454) (22-16-2,125) of CROC FILES.  Up 3.  WE LIKE THE MOON overpowered BINDI in a 1 
minute mismatched Challenge duel.  Does this mean Bindi doesn't like the moon?
     VICTIM OF SOCIETY (55-3179) (29-33-2,142) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged PROPANE 
TORCH (61-2524) (24-17-1,117) of FEAR FACTORY.  Down 25, or something like that.  
VICTIM OF SOCIETY demolished PROPANE TORCH in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee.  
Is anybody, you know, surprised at this?
     GOSSAMER (35-3656) (31-18-1,165) of PHILANTHROPISTS 2 challenged SMUG BUG (55-
2900) (54-95-0,179) of RHYME TYME.  Up 14.  GOSSAMER was viciously subdued by SMUG 
BUG in a 1 minute Challenge fight.  I hate that.  I want to see that Bug flat.  It's 
the smugness.  I hate smugness.

     And for being Lord Marshall:  DARTMAN (33-7161) (32-13-2,254) of COLGATE DAYS 
fought KELOS (55-30) (76-110-4,203) of ROCANIS RIDERS.  DARTMAN defeated KELOS in an 
action packed 1 minute Title melee.  Well, congratulations.

     Listen, about merging with Lirin Kiv?  I don't know.  They don't tell me 
anything!  But I'll ask.

                                      Debby T.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Groggy Doggy -- Seems like you woke up.  Be sure to remind your manager to change 
your train. -- Royland

     As if!

Riddler -- Good going, breaking my weapon AND my backup.  Fighting sucks without a 
weapon. -- Mila

Tigress -- I was surprised you weren't faster.  Maybe you should try decisiveness?  
Though I hear it can be addictive. -- Kelos

House Mouse -- Good fight. -- Loping Wolf

Cassie -- Throat, groin, and nose.  You really know how to hurt a guy. -- Javelino

Debby Tonte -- So, when is this merging with Lirin Kiv going to happen?  I'm looking 
forward to having larger quarters and seeing some fresh faces on the sands. -- 
Royland

     Nobody tells me anything.  It's all gazebo.

Retribution -- Is it my imagination, or do we meet a lot?  Hmm, probably just my 
imagination, even though Jorja says I don't have any. -- Whitewing

Satan Claus -- Yeah, well, I tell you what, on the Night Before Christmas, I'm 
stirring!  I'm running wildly back and forth through the house, and I might even go 
to the neighbors's houses and run around THERE, too.  Holidays are MADE for horrors.  
They're horrible in themselves. -- Mouse Noyle

Kimo -- (suspiciously)  Was that respect?  It looked to me like you were bowing your 
head and considering how you could turn what you learned AGAINST me next time.  That 
was what the glint in your eye looked like. -- U.S. Steel

Samarium -- At least I get to retire at the Split.  Let some young hotshot meet up 
with a young hotshot like you.  You'll both of you enjoy it more. -- Lulu

Kelos -- (growling) -- Tigress, who would have made comments about caravan raiders 
and/or funny hats but Jorja said to leave it

Jeliah Bigabo -- I have a faint hope of retiring at the split myself, at which point 
you'd have to look elsewhere for easy wins.  Not that you came LOOKING for this one.  
But the principle remains. -- Redfox

Cassie -- That's one of my specialties.  Although I also do well with fried fish. -- 
Lulu, master of the cast-iron skillet
