                             Notes from the arena champ.

                              ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT
                       by ROBERT FROST (probably for Darkness)

                   I have been one acquainted with the night.
                   I have walked out in rain--and back in rain.
                   I have outwalked the furthest city light.

                   I have looked down the saddest city lane.
                   I have passed by the watchman on his beat
                   And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.

                   I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
                   When far away an interrupted cry
                   Came over houses from another street,

                   But not to call me back or say good-bye;
                   And further still at an unearthly height,
                   One luminary clock against the sky

                   Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
                   I have been one acquainted with the night.

                                          -- offered by Darkness, a 3-Time Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  ZENSU needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  I don't wanna hurt 
anybody's feelings or anything, but PHILANTHROPISTS really goofed with their 1-3-0.  
TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 like really fought hard to move up to 2nd from 5th.  Way to go!  
MVP award for JIBBER JABBER?  WRATHMEN 25-69's proud of him after beating BITTERSWEET 
and getting 23 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  BITTERSWEET's match with JIBBER 
JABBER cost her a loss of 16 points!  The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause 
it's Number One!  BLOOD BATH knows this.  He was challenged by the Duelmaster.  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  DARKNESS stopped BLOOD BATH dead in his tracks!  
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?  PHILANTHROPISTS was the most avoided team.  Is a 
100-59-0 record really that scary?  I don't know what PANDORA'S BOX's been doing.  
They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from PHILANTHROPISTS, that's fer 
sher.  Can PANDORA'S BOX's FLOODS be more popular than me?  It was challenged the 
most, but is that really the same?  Some fights are really unfair.  How do you think 
HUMPTY DUMPTY feels about being challenged by FLOODS, 25 points above him?  FLOODS 
beat HUMPTY DUMPTY.  No surprise about that.  Really I'm not surprised FLOODS would 
do such a scummy thing, either.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ZENSU ever talks about is fighting!  Me, 
I'm more laid back.  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear 
from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
