Adopt Me Saturday!

So things at the Red Dragon Inn were progressing in a pretty typical sort of pattern early Saturday night. Riley and Dean seemed to be having a pretty inappropriate conversation interaction considering that they’re both taken. Alain had some sort of terse stare down with Howe. Fia and Fio were seen catching up as evidently Fia’s been out of town for a while. Same old, same old, right?

Well, that’s the point where things started to go terribly wrong. Our sources are a little sketchy on the details since they were busy, you know, ducking for their lives! However, from what we can gather, a couple people totally started shooting up the Inn. And, big shock, Alain and Wolvie seemed to be returning fire. We hear that Lang jumped in when it looked like Alain wasn’t going to make it out alive. Even some cat version of Riley was involved. However, her involvement with Alain is sketchy at best. No idea why she’d jump in to try to help him but we’re definitely looking into it. Anyway, the bad guys were killed and the good guys made jokes while tending to their wounds. Just another night in RhyDin!

Panther is NOT going to be happy, though!

Fio and John had some sort of odd interaction late into the night. Our sources tell us it looks like Fio’s getting worse. She evidently was talking to someone that wasn’t there who had a message for John. Now she has imaginary friends??? This woman already claims to be someone’s mother and is pregnant with a baby! Ugh! John seemed pretty freaked out and not the least bit amused by the whole thing. We can’t blame him. Fio is making us so sad.

MAN-tastic Matt was spotted in the Arena trying to get out the dueling vote! We hear that he made a point to stop by the Minx girls and chat with them. Oh, I’m sure he did! What a sacrifice he had to make??? I can’t imagine having to surround myself with three beautiful women and lure them in with a charm! What an awful life Matt leads! There’s evidently a new Minx girl to add to the bunch, by the way. Gwen Minx. She’s evidently a cousin. Cute! Anyway, Cor was calling at the time and made sure to counter with his own campaign messages. Although, while Matt was trying to get them to vote for him, Cor was talking about having all three — Gwen, Tristanie, and Kattria — sleep with him. Classy. And we’ll be that his new girlfriend will thinks so too!

It seemed that the only action that Cor was getting though was from Granny who escaped from the Old Duelers’ Home. We hear that she really had a thing for him and was even seen in his lap. Well, I guess that taste doesn’t improve with age. Kattria got into a ring with Granny which is really just… wrong. Evidently, to make matters worse, she ended the match with a slash and killed Granny… or at least so it seemed. The orderlies from the Old Duelers’ Home carried her and her walker off. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Lirssa and Taneth were seen hanging out with Lydia for quite a while Saturday night. In fact, the ladies were overheard making plans for baby Taneth to sleepover one night with Lydia and Soerl to spend some time with Soerl’s daughter. That’ll probably be really good for baby Taneth. We’re surprised she’s lasted so long without getting into some serious troubles. Although, we could say that about all the Taneths, including the original one! It seems we were right about Lydia not being pregnant. Instead, our sources claim that she was discussing adoption at length with Lirssa. How fantastic! This makes us love Lydia even more!

Kalamere might just be in luck! Although, one of his baronesses and regular bonk buddies, Teagan, does seem to be entering into something of a relationship with Joey, there did seem to be hints that he might not be cut off completely. In fact, we hear that both girls were flirting with him Saturday night. Serious score there! Kalamere is just blessed by life. It must be a hard life to be the hottest playboy in the Arena!

Bonking On A Thursday!

You know there is trouble afoot when Wolvie and Awesom Alain get together for a little chat! We hear that the pair had a pretty tense little chat at the Red Dragon Inn Thursday night. Evidently Alain is not happy with one of his employees — Silas — but we’re not exactly sure why. Now there have been a lot of rumors about the young wizard recently. He was involved in the St. Patrick’s Massacre and there are reports that he may have worsened the situation in the process of trying to help AND he’s currently running for governor. We hear that even Wolvie was surprised by the level of Alain’s anger!

We hear that Daniel saved the pretty Aliss from a feral cat outside the Inn later into the night. Reeeeaaaally??? She made him a cup of tea and was quite grateful. However, Riley doesn’t have to worry about her man, evidently, because we hear that Aliss was flirting it up with the handsome Rico. But while Aliss seems to have a thing for Rico, Rico seems to have a thing for his captain’s sister! He was shooting quite the warm smile to Ajia most of the evening as they had a couple drinks together. Was that a date??? Really??? We wonder what Aja would have to say about her employee dating her sister???

Did we not call this??? Juliane and Everett were seen chatting in a booth together for quite some time. They were not joined by anyone nor did their eyes seem to leave one another very much. In fact, they seemed pretty thrilled to be spending some time together! There’s DEFINITELY some chemistry here. Two creative personalities??? Sounds pretty magical! We’re definitely waiting on pins and needles to see where this thing heads.

After the mega challenges the night before, dueling was pretty light in the Arena Thursday night. That being said, there was an old face in the crowds that our sources were surprised to find! It seems that Red is back in the dueling venues. Red just so happens to be Rix’s ex-wife. We wonder what this is going to mean for his recent engagement. Probably nothing. We’re guessing that women don’t go back to Rix after they wise up and move on.

Kalamere didn’t give much time to Anubis for him to recover! The slaver is AGAIN under challenge for Battlefield Park. This time it’s from the legendary former baron and overlord. Kalamere and Harris were overheard chatting about it Thursday night as the pair got a duel in. It seems it will be Kalamere’s first challenge in THIRTEEN years! Now that is a serious comeback. We don’t know anybody who isn’t already looking forward to it!

It seems we were dead wrong about Joey! She was overheard declaring her love for Teagan Thursday night. Evidently, Teagan never returned the words to Joey. It seems we may have gotten the situation a little backwards. Maybe it’s Joey that’s fallen deep and Teagan who really isn’t all that interested. After all, Teagan’s the one that’s been sleeping with Kalamere. Joey was overheard saying she hadn’t been with anyone else in months. We wonder how she’s going to feel when she hears that Teagan’s been bonking the former overlord in her absence!!!

Naughty Friday!

After a pretty quiet week, the Red Dragon Inn was at least a bit busy Friday night. Rumor of these beasts has everybody a little bit antsy and we’re hearing that more than one mage is taking the opportunity to lay low. As many know, the interns and I aren’t exactly without a bit of magic ourselves. We’ve decided to hunker down in the Den of Gossip until this whole thing blows over. Rest assured though, loyal readers! We will never abandon you without gossip!

One of the heroes we were hoping to see hasn’t abandoned the city showed up in the Inn Friday night! We hear that Awesome Alain was seen hanging out catching up with some friends with his girl, Sophie. They were heard discussing the issue only briefly but we’re told both of their companies have been pulling back operations in the city and sending their mages into hiding. Our sources say that after the Shamrock Shindig and the actions of a certain someone in his House, he’s decreasing his presence in the city in part at least to keep the city from turning on them over the incident. If he’d like to keep public opinion in his favor he should find a way to destroy all the beasts! Back to his love life, though, for a minute. We’re starting to get reports that this thing with the Rhovnik girl may not be passing. Her family’s already pushing for marriage so if anybody wants one last shot at him they better do it quickly!

Ethan had a brief conversation with Alain that seemed to leave him a bit off kilter and was later seen in a booth catching up with Doc Eva. He definitely seemed a bit uneasy. Anybody else feel like Ethan’s hiding something again??? He should really just be completely honest because he doesn’t seem like he’s great at hiding stuff. They chatted about their significant others and how happy they are in their relationships (boooooring!) and also addressed Ethan’s brother (so sad!). It was certainly good to see both of them hanging out. It sounds like Ethan’s going to try to spend more time in the city so that he can see Maeve more often. He definitely seems to be putting the effort into making their relationship work. Good for him!

It seemed the night for Eva to catch up with her male friends as she was later seen congratulating Lil’ Boy Blue Locke on his Madness win. Eva seems to have an awful lot of “platonic” male friends. ANYWAY! Locke was in quite the good mood and celebrating his victory over Napoleon as he had been down quite a bit but turned things around to win the match. Don’t let it go too much to your head, Locke. You just beat a rat who likes to have his belly rubbed and will do anything for candy.

Another night, another woman whose life Lucky Lawyer Lucien must fix. The kid version of Taneth was in the Inn munching on apples dipped in peanut butter. Lucky was overheard asking her if she has seen any of the other Taneths recently. She said that she hadn’t but couldn’t narrow down when it was she saw them last. What’s happening to her just gets sadder and sadder! Eventually it’s all got to work out alright…. right???

Crazy Train Tara was spotted for the first time since our return to RhyDin in typical C.T. Tara fashion. Our sources tell us she was wearing some sort of very revealing bikini. She, of course, was her usual self. She evidently was instructing kid Taneth on the finer points of capturing a butterfly and ripping off its wings. Nice. When the cute new girl, Aliss, showed some interest in being nice to kid Taneth, C.T. Tara let her know just how ancient kid Taneth really is. We hear that Aliss was a bit floored by the news. Poor girl. This is a strange town. C.T. Tara didn’t bother cushioning the blow because she was too busy arguing with Collie over which of them was the last to have set the Inn’s kitchen on fire.

Just another insane night in the Red Dragon Inn!

Things got started early in the Annex as dueling kicked off for the night with a challenge! Tormay faced off against the squire of the Old Temple district, Kalinda, for a shot at the Old Market barony! In an odd turn of events, Tormay actually decided to use the one match format to face down Kalinda. She kept her nose to the grindstone but in the end Tormay’s experience was able to bring the match home. So, unfortunately, we’ll have to go another day without an exotic dancer as a baroness! Such a bummer! But congratulations to Tormay!

…uh, does somebody want to tell us at what point Rowdy Rekah and Dawn became friends??? Sin and Sal disappear from public life and all of a sudden Rekah is dating Cas and is besties with Dawn??? Sure, we’ve said in the past that Sin and Sal aren’t exactly the world’s greatest role models but…. PLEASE COME BACK! You guys can’t let this happen to Rekah! Our sources report back that Rekah and Dawn were discussing horses over drinks. We’re completely icked out by this news.

Kalamere was overheard making dinner plans with yet ANOTHER baroness. This time it was Maria who he was showing interest in. It’s only a matter of time before he’s bagged all three baronesses. It’s a bit risky of the former Overlord to set his eyes on the current Overlord’s girl, though, no? We don’t think Tical will be as understanding about Kalamere banging his girlfriend as Pslyder was. After all, Jaycy is sort of community property. On the other hand, maybe Tical is getting used to losing his girlfriend to over the hill duelists. Yep, I went there!

We have a pair of candidates for this year’s most ridiculous newlyweds! Harold and Scotty! After their antics Friday night, they may take the hands-down win! Our sources claim that there was quite the ruckus in the Marketplace and when people began to investigate they saw a pair of young strapping men having sex on the roof of one of the buildings. Yep. You read that right. Our sources tell us that it was, in fact, Harold and Scotty. To follow up their naughty evening, they showed up in the Annex with their clothing in a state of disarray to partake in some violence…. because who needs cuddling when you can beat on people???

Never Ending Supply Wednesday!

Wolvie was seen in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night getting caught up on what happened Saturday night in the Marketplace! A little late to the party, aren’t we??? In fact, where are all of RhyDin’s great hero types??? Wolvie? Alain? Grem? Lucky? None of them were present Saturday night! We are hearing that House DeMuer is actually pulling back some of its assets!!! That suggests to us that Alain thinks this is going to get A LOT worse. Since all four of those guys are now taken, are they too busy bonking their girls to realize that the city’s in trouble??? Somebody HAS to emerge from this ready to take on these things, right??? RHYDIN NEEDS A HERO!

We have to wonder if rumors of these beasts is what is keeping the crowds so light over the last couple of days. It was light in the Outback as well. Our sources did see Scotty getting some duels in. It’s awesome to see him taking more and more of an interest in the dueling venues! He’s definitely somebody that we here at the Den of Gossip can get behind and root for!

Lil’ Black Book Jaycy was at Pslyder’s side as he called some duels. Blah. We hear that she was seen stealing some bites off his burger. Better watch those hips, girl! You’re not getting any younger and you know what happens to a woman’s metabolism as she gets older. Those things you call curves are starting to look more like love handles! Ha! Burn! Score one for the GangSTAR!

The Governor MAN-tastic Matt was seen chatting with Rollo, a horse trainer for Collie. It seems Rollo’s struggling to make it work in the dueling venues and Matt was giving him a bit of advice. With rumors of the schedule for the next election coming out we have to wonder how much of his “advice” was about helping out a young duelist and how much of it was about being friendly with a potential voter. Oh, come on! Don’t buy into the stupid hunk routine. Matt’s a politician. Nothing he does isn’t 100% calculated!

Our sources tell us that Kattria was QUITE interested in the lunch date that Kalamere and Jaycy had! What did we tell you??? In fact, she seemed down right disappointed to hear that it had already happened. That didn’t stop her from spending the rest of the night flirting with him. Flirt all you like, darling, but unless you get a baronial ring on your finger, we don’t think Kalamere will be interested in doing anything but looking. That man DEFINITELY has a type… and his type has NOTHING to do with hair color. Speaking of which, while Kattria was busy in a ring, Kalamere was seen throwing back the booze with Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. We’re really starting to like Kalamere! We have the feeling that he’s going to provide us a never ending supply of drama and gossip!

Deathcake Saturday!

Come on. You know we aren’t the only ones who consider boarding up our windows and shoving pieces of furniture against the doors every time Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Awesome Alain are seen with their heads together in the Red Dragon Inn! It seems to be a the headquarters for those two to attempt to figure out a way to save RhyDin from whatever mess she’s gotten herself into this time. Probably because whatever scheme they come up with is so dangerous that they need large amounts of alcohol to work themselves into going through with it. We have no idea what they were planning but they were clearly up to something!

One of our absolute favorites, Den Mama Sid, was behind the bar doing her tending gig! She had quite a lengthy chat with her dear friend Queen of Class Sylvia. Anybody else have a feeling that those two lovely ladies created quite the stir back in the day??? We just have a feeling that they were total troublemakers together. Anyway, these days at least Q.O.C. Sylvia seems quite settled. They spoke of visiting together with their children in the spring. Man, how we’d like an invitation to THAT party!

Well, it appears that after ticking off most of the dueling community for some… well, pretty incendiary comments, Guill is trying to get his priorities in order. He was seen calling Saturday night in the Arena and had his very pregnant wife, Timora, at his side. His primary focus was definitely on her and making sure she was comfortable. We hear that he has even taken a break from challenging in order to concentrate on his growing family. Good for him! More men need to take a step back from their careers and keep an eye on the homefront!

The Arena was quiet enough to allow Guill a little quality time with his wifey because there was a tag team tournament ongoing in the Arena for the Tour that attracted quite the who’s who in the dueling world. Despite the big names that showed up and the fact that it seemed CrushBob had the advantage by the sheer number of teams they had entered, it was Rowdy Rekah and Thorne representing Deathcake who remained standing at the end of the night. How fantastic! We HEART a good underdog (no pun intended) story!

Congratulations to Rowdy Rekah and Thorne!

Although, the dueling was definitely the main event of the night, our sources did catch something fantastically entertaining! Evidently after their duel, the Overlord Tical was seen KISSING one of his loyal baronesses. And, nope, it wasn’t Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. It was fellow Crew member, Maria! We told you! Crew fans had dismissed that long time rumor about the two of them but it seems that now that they’re both single they’re not hiding anything! You’re hearing it here first because we’re told that even Ria seemed surprised when she caught the degree of friendliness that seems to exist between the pair. Iiiinteresting! Coming on the heels of her divorce, we have to ask, of course, is the Overlord a home wrecker???
