Another Day Thursday!

What do you know? Another day, another mystery woman hitting on Awesome Alain! We have no idea who the blue-eyed beauty was but they certainly had a flirty little conversation as he offered her up a bottle of wine. His attention wandered when…. Renna walked through the door??? Odd, no? Based on a personal conversation that yours truly had with him we can report that we believe that his interest with Renna is business, not pleasure. We have a feeling that all the young, single women of RhyDin just blew a collective sigh of relief. Yes, yes, he remains RhyDin’s most eligible bachelors, ladies.

It seems that Yummy Ewan and the Divine Mrs. Storm took a night away from tending their small brood (and we have a feeling that with her as a wife there’s a lot of practice baby-making going on in that house that also keeps them busy) to grace the Inn with their loveliness! We hear that Redhead Tara was overheard instructing them in how hell really is set up. Um, wow. Not exactly the way we’d want to spend a date night but to each their own, we suppose!

Wow! We hear that Reality Check Brandon laid into Playboy Shane with quite the vicious diatribe on SLUTTACIOUS Darcy! It seems that R.C. Brandon is not the least bit happy to hear that Playboy Shane is thinking of taking S. Darcy out on a date. We’re just surprised that it comes as news to R.C. Brandon that his boy is attracted to S. Darcy. We hear that Saucy Serena and Mad Kazzy had SLUTTACIOUS Darcy’s back a bit, urging P. Shane to do what he felt was right. Right, smight! Do her because she’s HAWT, not because it’s right! For crying out loud!

Letters to Marc Franco!

Dearest Mister Franco:

It has come to my attention that a one Lady Onyxia Uth Dravon Dragonbane has in the recent past inconvenienced The Den and yourself with unnecessary and overtly confrontational correspondence. As recently appointed Public Relations Director at Riverview, I feel it is my duty to inform you that Lady Dragonbane does not, I repeat, does not speak on behalf of Riverview Clinic. The institution applauds The Den of Gossip’s benevolent and scrupulous efforts to launch such charitable organizations as the GangSTAR Children’s Foundation, as well as the company’s tireless vocation to the betterment of Rhy’Din’s society at large. Staff and friends of the clinic are more than enthusiastic per this new endeavor, and fully offer their support to the GangSTAR staff. Please do not hesitate to call upon our assistance should your team require it. After all, teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision– the ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.

Per the GangSTAR’s frequent publication of the clinic’s activities itself: I must respectfully rescind Miss Dragonbane’s complaint, for while the occasional unseemly gossip has been known to present itself of the employees, the institution has never faced any malicious publicity whatsoever. In fact, the credit that Riverview has received in your publication is naught but overwhelmingly accommodating and supportive. For this, we at Riverview offer our humblest gratitude.

Please accept my sincerest apologies on behalf of Riverview Clinic, and if The Den is still adamant about desisting all publication with regard to our institution, we merely express our regret and appreciation for all The Den of Gossip has done for us thus far.

With many thanks,
Sivanna Cyredghymn
Public Relations, Riverview

Letters to Marc Franco!

Is it just us or are people who feel the need to close a letter without a lot of titles usually pompous idiots?

From the Desk of Lady Onyxia Uth Dravon Dragonbane

Dear Mr. Franco;

While I commend you for your ideas in the Children’s benefit, Noble House Uth Dravon is issuing a challenge to you.

Time to put your money where your mouth is. So far I have seen you do nothing but trash the reputation of the Riverview Clinic and the members of my family that work in the trenches there. You are quick to judge and believe the innuendo your so-called colleague printed. Yet, you have failed to look for yourself.

You have called my kinsfolk sheep, yet that term best describes what you are doing it seems.

Well, my challenge to you is to make your “charity foundation” into something worth respecting. This will require more work than you seem to be able to put into checking your own sources, to be sure.

I found last night to be nothing more than an excuse for you to gossip and take snipes at others, all under the guise of “helping the children.” As someone that prefers action over words, I must say your actions leave me many doubts as to your integrity and intentions.

So will you rise to the challenge, or be seen as another that exploits children for their own gain.

House Uth Dravon is watching and will not blindly sign checks.

Signed;

Lady Onyxia Uth Dravon Dragonbane
Magistrate of Order – Magistratical Council of Elders
Noble House Uth Dravon
Member of the Sovereign Houses of the Royal Rhydin Imperium
Dear Lady Dragonbane,

Being that I have never heard of you I can only assume that you are new to town. Therefore, I will excuse your ignorance. My interns and I have been a supporter of the local charities since we moved our publication to RhyDin two years ago.

I sat in a dunk booth at the Beltane Festival last year and all proceeds went to a local soup kitchen. I allowed myself to be auctioned off on several occasions for charity. The Gossip GangSTAR has also matched the interns salary up to a certain amount (which has depended on the year’s success) and donated it to their favorite charity. Finally, we have been involved in a number of charity events through our various sponsors. Simply because we do not feel it necessary to announce what we do for the community does not mean that we do nothing.

This charity was created when we at the Den of Gossip decided that we are here in RhyDin to stay.

I am sorry that you find fault with my behavior last night. Many of the people I spoke with I have met in the past and was following up on previous conversations. Following up on their lives is my job and, for them most part, I believe that they understand that. Had any of them asked me to leave them I would have. My conversation with the people of Riverview Clinic was entirely cordial and we did not discuss their personal lives at all.

If the people of RhyDin wish to continue supporting the Riverview Clinic that is their right. I have done all I can. Therefore, Riverview Clinic will no longer be mentioned in our publication. I’m beginning to find these sorts of letters tiresome. The inherent entertainment value is most certainly gone by now anyway.

Have a fantastic day!

Marc

Tag Wednesday!

Crazy Risa always seems to have a good idea or two up her sleeve and her shift behind the bar Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn was no exception! Every patron was given a white t-shirt and provided with all sorts of markers and paint pens with the goal of writing on one another’s t-shirts. Are we the only one with the visual of Deliciously Sinful Sin walking around the room with marker in hand to sign every breast in the place? No? We didn’t think so.

Unfortunately, D.S. Sin wasn’t present but quite a few of the Inn’s other regulars were!

The Many Faces of Fio drew quite the masterpiece on Awful Ali’s and he jotted down something on her’s in some language that our sources present couldn’t read. The pair were quite into each other once again! They get cuter by the day to us. It’s hard to hate Awful Ali when he is so good to T.M.F.O. Fio! Plus, we’re sure that with all her bad ass friends constantly shooting him the evil eye he knows better than to hurt her!

The merry-makers just couldn’t get SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee into a t-shirt but she was seen doodling on several people by some sort of magical means. She always seems to have a handful of male admirers that want her attention. Wednesday night was no exception.

Lizard King Bran was seen in a t-shirt proclaiming him the “triple crown winner” in recognition of having claimed all three of the top titles in the dueling world. In an interesting mix of personalities, he was seen chatting with Cutie Carley who seemed to be having a blast! Cutie Carley really loved the markers, especially Crazy Risa’s scented ones! We’re going to have to make sure we send her a box along with the back issues of the GangSTAR that she’s missed!

It seems that Lil’ Lirssa’s friends are thrilled to have her back. Still no word as to her disappearance. Head of the Fam Johnny seemed to be keeping a careful eye on her as was Lil’ Boy Blue Locke.  Lil’ Lirssa was overheard telling L.B.B. Locke that she no longer speaks to any of the Smiths! It’s certainly hard to tell when L. Lirssa is telling the truth and when she’s yanking someone’s chain but our sources SWEAR that she’s serious. L.B.B. Locke asked why but all L. Lirssa would say was that it was for her own reasons.

Later she was overheard talking to Doc Anya about Merchant Antonio. It seems that Lil’ Lirssa, like may of us, is quite disappointed in his life decisions. Much of the city is talking about this issue so we will merely add our opinion this once before being done with the issue. Life is tough. The world which we live in is hard and everyone needs a partner to get through it. Marriage is between two people — be it a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or a man and a man or a fox and an goblin or a elf and one of those green people that Awesome Alain has working for him. A marriage between two people commits them to a life of protecting one another, being there for one another, and putting their family (even if family means just the two of them) before anything or anyone else. Marrying two people is disrespectful to the institution. If you want to have two men to sleep with and enjoy the company of, fine. Grown adults may do whatever grown adults want. However, you cannot commit yourself to a life of being there for two different people. It flies in the face of everything that marriage stands for.

Do not give up hope, Lil’ Lirssa. There are many fine examples of marriage in this city. Perhaps this publication should work a little bit harder to promote those relationships rather than the train wrecks that while more entertaining are disheartening to many.
