Mated Sunday!

There was a light crowd in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday hanging out and chatting. Fury is alive and relatively well, it seems. Evidently a bullet to the head isn’t enough to keep that girl down. She was catching up with Fio and Fio made a point of introducing Fury and Cor to her new BFF, Kate. We hear that she called Kate an old “business associate” of Ali’s. Yep, we’re sure that’s what he called their relationship but we’re not buying it! Not for ooooone second! Lirssa and Bekah were also spotted later into the night. All in all, the girls had a relatively quiet night. At least quiet by their standards which means that Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Awful Ali will not have to spend the rest of the week cleaning up new messes.

Down in the Annex, the fourth round of Madness dueling was wrapping up. Maria showed up with both Ria and Myria in tow. Neither looked too terribly thrilled that their sister-in-law/sister was fighting mere days after awaking from some sort of coma. Despite beating Aya to move on, our sources tell us she looked bad enough afterward to draw concern from Kalamere, Teagan, and Tass. She stayed on her feet at least long enough to exit the building escorted again by both Ria and Myria. It seems that whatever it is that is happening or has happened, the Grazianos are closing ranks.

At the very same time, Sylus and Anubis were facing off for another division championship in the Madness Tournament. Evidently Crazy Train Tara was present to root on her man and was overheard by our sources calling Anpu’s opponent “Sylus the Virus”! Love it! She was evidently pretty worried that Anubis would catch some sort of communicable disease from Sylus. We don’t think communicable diseases scare Anubis. After all, have you met his wife???

The minions and others competing in Deathlord’s squire tournament cornered Taneth to try to get her “favor” which will give them bonus points. The quest for Teagan’s favor broke down into an insult match between the head Minion and Kattria. It seems that the head Minion takes offense to, well, a living being serving as squire to Deathlord. We hear that the bickering got pretty heated. We’re not entirely sure what Kattria even wants to be Deathlord’s squire. She seems like the type, though, to do something like that just to irritate Deathlord and his minions.

Teagan and Kalamere have gotten close awfully fast! It’s too bad that Teagan’s not capable of actual, functioning relationships because there’s definitely a good vibe between the pair. Not only do they clearly have chemistry but they seem to have a lot of heart-to-heart chats. We hear that they were having one of those Sunday night as they watched Teagan’s girlfriend, Joey, get a duel in. In fact, our sources claim that the conversation was in fact about Joey! It’s only a matter of time before Kalamere has one of the best nights of his life with those two young ladies! …And we do use the term “ladies” loosely.

Our sources claim that Roran was spotted in a pretty rough and tumble fight in the rings with Roderick laaate into the night. Evidently in the middle of the match Roran said something about how he was lucky that his “mate” was talented with ice to apply to his bruises. Mate??? Did we miss something??? That seems a bit speedy, doesn’t it??? We know that he and Ms. Wyh Not have been getting along fabulously but…. mate??? That word could mean a lot of things so we’re going to try to not jump to any conclusions. What do you think???

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!!!

Challenge Happy Wednesday!

Have you all entered the poetry contest that the Post and the Den of Gossip are holding yet??? DO SO TODAY!

Also, be sure to vote in the primaries this weekend! The polls are open and we want to know who YOU want to be your governor!

The Many Faces of Fio was in fine crazy fashion Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn… which is to say that she wasn’t Fio at all. We hear that she was chatting away to some big scary looking guy about kittens and bendy straws and the baby in her belly. Ugh. We want this to work out. We want Fio to be a good mother. But how in the world could anybody trust her with a small child??? Having had to raise Intern Pumpkin Head since her parents were unfortunately lost to our cause, we know first hand that taking care of a newborn is seriously hard work! It takes everybody here at the Den of Gossip to work together to take care of her. We’re just not so sure that some of Fio’s personalities are up for the task. Really, Ali, what were you thinking???

Our sources tell us that the Arena was absolutely packed Wednesday night for back-to-back challenges. The first one of the night was Harris pressing challenge against Anubis for the right to the barony of Battlefield Park. We hear that Koy showed up as his lady of honor looking HAWT! It’s good to see that the girl’s back on her game! We have to wonder, however, how the Gov MAN-tastic Matt feels about his wife getting all prettied up for another man. Clearly, he’s not too upset as he served as Harris’ second for the night.

As is typical with Anubis, things couldn’t go off without a hitch. His wife, Dawn, was overheard making some comments to Pslyder that are so wrong that we can’t even post them in this blog! More importantly, Anubis had himself strapped to Harris and the pair had to fight the entire duel with knives while tied together. It definitely made for an interesting evening! Kattria, who we fall deeper and deeper in love with every day, was overheard saying that she didn’t know it was going to be a “hand-fasting”. OMG! We love a witty chick!

Unfortunately for the good of the city, Harris was not able to put Anubis in his place. Anubis won the best of three in two duels and remains the Baron of Battlefield Park. Ugh. Congratulations, Anubis… or whatever.

Wow! Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was overheard telling Kalamere that she is thinking of asking Joey to head home with her to visit her folks. That sounds like a major step! We had no idea they were like that. We’re a little worried for Teagan’s sake. We kind of feel like Joey’s experimenting and isn’t as serious about this relationship as Teagan is. Teagan definitely has a history for falling deeper for the people that she’s sleeping with than they fall for her.

Ugh. Rekah and Dawn were seen together again! This just keeps getting worse and worse. They were chatting with one another like old friends. We hear that there was even discussion of the pair having tea with Crazy Train Tara. Really??? Really??? These are the people that Rekah is going to be allowed to hang out with. Where is her new boyfriend??? Haven’t we already made fun of Mini-Frank Cor enough for failing to tell his girlfriend to STAY AWAY FROM THE SLAVER! Cassius has been around forever! He has no excuse for not warning his girl about the more unsavory elements of the Arena. We remain seriously unhappy.

Guill seems to be on a mission to be the first duelist in history to give each and every one of the sitting barons a defense. He and Deathlord also chose Wednesday night to meet up. Slightly more than twenty-four hours beforehand, Deathlord had changed his alignment to loyal and Overlord Tical had accepted it! It was definitely a surprising move but everyone could see the writing on the wall after that! Tical did step in to intercede on behalf of his newest loyal baron. He lost by a point but it turned out that Deathlord didn’t need the intercession. He came close to a shutout but couldn’t make it happen. He did, however, take an impressive 5-1 win!

Congratulations, Deathlord! New Haven continues to be represented by one heck of a scary dude. We can’t help but laugh.

We’re a little worried still about Deathlord’s fascination with Taneth. She was present to cheer for him as well as Harris. It’s more than a little creepy, isn’t it??? Thankfully, she was distracted from Deathlord and his minions by the presence of Shy who it seems showed up to cheer on Harris. When did Harris get so many friends??? Don’t people know that he’s a world class jerk! But maybe it’s just that compared to Anubis, he’s a really nice guy.

Walk Away Sunday!

The Madness Tournament and the Warlord Tournament pulled quite the crowd away from the Red Dragon Inn Sunday night it seems. It was dead for most of the evening. However, our sources did catch Lucky Lawyer Lucien hanging out with Bridget Kidd! We didn’t even know she was in town! We hear that the conversation was friendly and not romantic… but we kind of wish it was! L.L. Lucien seems to be attracted to damsels in distress. Bridget is, like, the complete opposite! She IS the trouble! We think that L.L. Lucien could do with a bit of mischief in his life. You have our approval, Bridget!

Collie and Darien were seen hanging out together, having a drink or fifteen and catching up. We’re surprised that the pair of them weren’t watching the Warlord Tournament. Or maybe we’re not. They seemed to be enjoying their alone time. The more they drank, the closer their chairs seemed to get. We hear that he had his arm around her at one point and she was totally giggling. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That’s not the way that a classy mother of a small army should behave! Particularly not with a man who’s more than a little bit shady! Shady or not, Collie was seen leaving with him at the end of the night. Get some MILF action there, Darien???

There was some Madness action going on in the Annex even though most of the crowd was upstairs in the Arena watching the tournament. We hear that the baroness frenemies — Teagan and Maria — got into it over Anubis and Tical. We’re not exactly sure what their issue is as they were being incredibly vague but it seems that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan is awfully pissed that Maria’s not living up to her end of some bargain. She stormed off to the bar, leaving Maria for some one-on-one time with the Overlord. It seems that Tical and Maria aren’t hiding their relationship any longer. We’re hearing reports that there might be some Crew fallout over that too. When is there not Crew fallout though? One of them breathes and the rest seem to get pissed.

Our sources tell us that they spotted one of our absolute favorites and the founder of our fan club — Ehz! The cute little spark plug was in a ring dueling with a trash can lid and a rolling pin for her Madness duel. Unfortunately, she lost to Tical but we hear that she did really well! Look for the wrap-up and more details in our Dueling Zone article over the next week or two! We would like to see more of her, though! She’s a-freaking-dorable!

Oh, come freaking on! We hear that Anubis collared Mini-Franker Cor’s new girlfriend, Delphi. Is this girl some kind of moron? Is Cor some kind of moron? STAY AWAY FROM THE SLAVER! G’nort and Matt should post signs that say exactly that on the doors of the establishment so that it can’t come back on their heads when these dumb girls get wrapped up with Anubis. The news had Harris laughing out loud and then he gave Cor some really horrible advice. He told him to GO AFTER Anubis! Seriously??? Cor vs. Anubis??? Clearly, Harris wants Cor dead. We have some better advice for you, M-F Cor. Dump the chick. Walk away fast and never look her way again.

But All The Cool Kids Are Experimenting Friday!

We’re dyyyying to know exactly when Cutie Carley’s relationship with Cy moved past the friendship zone! We weren’t sure if they would ever cross that line! However, they certainly seemed more than friends Friday night when our sources caught sight of them in the Red Dragon Inn. They were sharing goofy grins and he even was seen patting her leg. You know… we were hoping that these two would get together but now that they have we’re left wondering if he’s good enough for her! She is the most adorable thing on the face of the planet!

Lil’ Bit Lirssa was tending the bar and Kendall and Serena were there with her. We hear that Serena was telling the girls that The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker is better now! We’re super glad to hear that. Evidently all that commotion the night before led to Doc Eva cutting out whatever it was that was causing him to act like… well, like a dirty old man. When he felt up Our Darling Taneth a couple weeks back that was really the last straw. We’re glad that somebody finally did something! Now if only somebody will do something to help O.D. Taneth!

Oh, wow. Has Darcy had a healthy relationship??? Mega Mom Icer was overheard trying to calm her “daughter” down but not much seemed to be working. Somehow Darcy’s current boyfriend, Shadow, made her so angry that she made quite the scene. There was screaming, pounding on doors, and death threats. We hear that she COMPLETELY embarrassed herself by going all crazy girlfriend on him. Later when she finally calmed down a bit she was seen in tears, singing some sad love song. Le sigh. Will this girl ever gain some self-respect???

L.B. Lirssa was seen chatting with Lucky Lawyer Lucien! It seems that some believe she would be better off going off to boarding school! Aw! How sad would that make us??? We’ve got to say, though, it might actually be in her best interest. If she has the friends that can pay for some fancy boarding school, why should she remain in RhyDin tending bar and running the streets??? We hear that she didn’t seem really keen on talking about the subject and instead forced L.L. Lucien to tell her about all the fights he’s been getting into recently. Iiiiinteresting! Our sources couldn’t hear the details which is really a shame because we’d love to hear the explanation for L.L. Lucien’s recent short temper!

What…??? Brale Brother Reap asked L.L. Lucien if he would be okay with him…. well, doing something that even we can’t repeat to Crazy Train Tara!!! Does he have a death wish??? L.L. Lucien told him that he should go for it and C.T. Tara told L.L. Lucien that she would think of him while she was doing the nasty with B.B. Reap. Awesome. Nigel was seen talking quietly to B.B. Reap during this whole incident and perhaps he was able to get through to him because at the end of the night C.T. Tara went her way and B.B. Reap went another. One of the interns believes that B.B. Reap probably just did it to tick off Anubis. We’re not so sure, though. We doubt Anubis holds out hope that C.T. Tara is holding out for him and him alone.

We just do NOT get the rules of Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan and Joey’s relationship. It seems that while they are dating one another, they both have other men that they’re interested in. We’re not sure who Joey’s new man is but evidently S.P.G. Teagan’s guy is named Emmerich. According to our sources S.P.G. Teagan really seems to dig this guy. Not enough to give up Joey, though. We still think that this is just a phase in Joey’s life and that Teagan’s going to be hurt pretty darn bad when she moves on. In fact, our sources say that S.P.G. Teagan has invited Joey to move in with her but Joey declined. Iiiinteresting! Maybe S.P.G. Teagan wants to get serious with Joey but it’s Joey that doesn’t want to get serious with S.P.G. Teagan???

Harris hasn’t decided to start dueling again (which certainly would be a sight as he is a living Outback legend) but he has taken to hanging out in his old haunts again. Even G’naughty G’nort seemed a bit surprised to see him hanging out and causing trouble down there once again. We can only hope that this return to the dueling venues is followed by his wife’s return. We have heard some GLORIOUS stories about her!

Also worth mentioning is that Kitty was seen in the Annex with her husband… who is now sporting breasts. Yeah, for some reason Tass is a woman. We have no idea why and it’s one of those things where you just don’t want to know any additional information, you know?
