Welcome Back Tuesday!

The city might be under attack by weird beasts but we know from experience that there’s nothing that will stop the people of RhyDin from getting down with a little partay action when it’s presented to them! Quite the crowd gathered in the Red Dragon Inn last night for Amber’s shift! There was revelry, flirting, green plate specials, and a lot of green beer consumed.

Even drunk the people in the Inn seemed a bit irritated (or amused by) a giant cat. And by giant we mean GIANT! Our sources say that the thing would have been close to seven feet tall if standing on its hind legs. At one point it actually lost a stripe that went wandering away and we hear that it was singing too — the stripe was that is, not the cat. The stripe attacked Harris for some reason and interrupted a conversation Harris was having with that lovely blonde named Silver. We bet his wife would appreciate the stripe’s actions but Harris wasn’t too thrilled. We never did get a clue as to what the beast’s name was or if the beast has a name but it certainly was a character. We’ll definitely have our sources keep an eye out for it!

We hear that Ethan showed up looking pretty fiiiiiine Tuesday night! So fine that we are, in fact, second thinking our assertion that he doesn’t deserve to touch Maeve much less date her! Our sources tell us that he’s even cut his hair and that the look he was rocking definitely looks good on him. Niiiice! It’s certainly not as if Ethan has ever not looked good. After all, part of his problem was always that the girls went a little nutty around him and he never could resist a pretty face. That being said, perhaps it’s time that we excuse his transgression. It has been some time and he’s been on his best behavior. Maeve certainly seems happy. She was all over him and grinning from ear to ear! That’s all that matters, right???

Lucky Lawyer Lucien never fails to surround himself with pretty women! He entered the Inn with his GF, Rebekah, on his back while chatting with the DIVINE Mrs. Storm. Storm was overheard telling Lucky that all the men in her life are doing well including her newest little one and that Ewan was spending the night camping with the boys! We’re so glad to hear that her family is well and we just KNEW that Ewan would turn out to be a world class father! Storm seemed to be enjoying her night out on the town catching up with some of her friends. She and Chief Mischief Maker Eless were seen chatting for a while as well.

Annnnd you’re never going to guess who are sources spotted walking into the Red Dragon Inn! Everett! The last time he appears in this blog was almost THREE years ago for his going away party and that’s pretty much the last time he was spotted in public in RhyDin. Everett was so thrilled to see Storm and we hear that he was awfully surprised to hear that she got married AND had a baby in the span of time since he left RhyDin. Evidently while Everett was back at home he was conscripted into the military and only released once he got SHOT IN THE LEG! That’s one person we never thought we’d ever see in a military uniform. Sounds like Everett’s back for good, though! Welcome back!

The female Shane was overheard telling the male Shane that she’s moving in with Avery. We didn’t even know they were dating! Not that we’re all that surprised. Avery’s definitely a fast mover. Male Shane looked a bit surprised as well. We’re not going to put too much thought into it. They’ll be engaged in a month and broken up by summer.

We hear that Lydia was seen dueling on Twilight Island Tuesday night! Yep, that’s right! Lydia! We never thought we’d see Lydia using magic so openly. Her hubby, Soerl, was by her side, of course. We wonder if its his influence that has her stepping outside her comfort zone. You have to wonder if he’s really that good for her. Sure, she is doing things outside her comfort zone but she’s RARELY been around since they got married. And we’re not positive she looks all that happy. Although, Lydia is a hard shell to crack. We sure hope she’s not ditching her old friends completely just because she’s a wife now! We’re definitely going to keep our eyes on this!

Somebody’s Granny Monday!

Evidently the child size Taneth is still making her way around RhyDin. She was seen in the Red Dragon Inn with Lil’ Bit Lirssa Monday night. L.B. Lirssa does seem to have a way of attracting every troubled child in a thirty mile radius. She’s like that kid you always hear about that’s constantly bringing home strays but instead of dogs or cats, they’re kids. They joined up with Rowdy Rekah at the bar and found themselves some cookies. See, this is why Rekah and Cas creeps us out! Rowdy Rekah seems more the type to be eating cookies in the Inn with Taneth and Lirssa rather than hanging out in the Arena serving as arm candy for a former Baron. It’s like a middle age man sleeping with his stepdaughter. Ugh. Why are you doooooing this to us, Cas???

The mood in the Inn was pretty upbeat even if the crowd was still small. The pretty young owner of Cameron Horse Farms, Aliss, was out and about. We hear that she was seen joking around with Ali, Fio, and Mac. Of course, as the much of the rest of the crowd was eating cookies and drinking milk, Mac was throwing back vodka. But that’s just Mac for you!

The playful atmosphere was ruined by some ice queen type who seemed to make Ali, Fio, and Lirssa awfully nervous. Our sources say that while she was quite beautiful she was a bit scary as well. We’re told that her presence left Ali looking for Darien. Chief Mischief Maker Eless who had just come from a visit with her friend, Rena, in the Outback was able to tell the tense group that Darien was in the Outback so Lirssa led the strange woman into the Outback. We’re wondering if this woman is some chick that Darien has wronged. We bet he’s got a past littered with scorned women.

Earlier in the evening in the Outback, Harris and Cy reeeeaaally got into it. Harris was overheard telling Cy that he failed as Carley’s boyfriend and telling him to hand over all of Carley’s possessions (including her underwear). Evidently, Harris felt that Cy had not done enough to protect Carley during the mayhem at the Shindig. Carley tried to break it up even as Cy destroyed a bar stool over Harris’ back and Harris had to even things up by breaking a stool across Cy’s knee! We bet Matt’s going to send him a bill for that! Even Koy was overheard mentioning that Matt was NOT going to be happy. You’d think with all the times people have destroyed or burned down the Outback, Matt would have gotten used to it by now! Anyway, Cy stormed out and Harris used this as further proof that Cy was not good enough for Carley and then he tried hooking Cutie Carley up with Kalamere!

But as we know Kalamere is only interested in baronesses! And he certainly had his hands full last night with them! We hear that Lil’ Black Book Jaycy had her hands ALL OVER HIM! We knew that this thing with Pslyder was only a brief visit in the land of monogamy. Lil’ Black Book Jaycy simply cannot help herself! Evidently Kalamere was certainly interested. The two were overheard planning a lunch date in order to talk in a more private location. Thanks for FINALLY remembering your roots, L.B.B. Jaycy! This is juuuuust the start. She’ll have bagged a half dozen guys before the next WLT and somewhere along the way broken Pslyder’s heart. What would we do without Jaycy in our lives???

Darien was seen chatting with Collie’s GRANDdaughter! That’s right! Not only is Collie a MILF but she’s a GILF as well! We have to wonder if it makes him feel a little sleazy to be reminded that he had his grabby hands all over somebody’s granny the other night??? We doubt it, though. We’re pretty sure that Darien embraces the sleaze. No idea, by the way, about what happened between him and that mystery woman that spooked Ali so much. They were seen leaving together once Darien mentioned wanting a private conversation with her. Iiiiinteresting!

Parry to Your Man Friday!

So we’re back from vacation in time to catch the start of the Madness Tournament and perhaps it was due to the Madness Tournament that the Red Dragon Inn was awfully quiet. Juliane and Chief Mischief Maker Eless were tending bar and chatting with Lil’ Bit Lirssa about what a fine boyfriend Mason is. Evidently Manly Mason has ordered Doc Eva some of her favorite perfume from C.M.M. Eless as a gift. Gag us. We’re not buying this whole line about Manly Mason being such a great boyfriend anymore. He’s got a NASTY temper and he STILL hasn’t taken the next step in this relationship. Doc Eva’s the cow and she’s just giving her product away for free! This is what happens, ladies. Take it as a case study in how not to get a man to marry you.

Mason and Doc Eva were seen later in the evening. It seems that they were coming straight from the ballet. With all the Madness madness, we’d nearly forgotten that the ballet opened last night! We cannot wait to get tickets and check it out! We hear that Ballerina Katarina is, of course, Carmen! The opening night show was completely sold out. No big surprise there! We are always pleasantly surprised that despite this city’s sometimes barbaric reputation, there is a real love for the arts and they certainly seem to thrive. Again, though, we’re not buying that Manly Mason is some cultured nice guy just because he takes his girlfriend to the ballet! He’s still LIVING IN SIN!!!!

There was evidently a child sized Taneth in the Inn last night. We don’t even know what to say anymore. This stuff with Our Darling Taneth gets worse and worse with every passing day. We really shouldn’t be surprised anymore. Evidently poor Lucky Lawyer Lucien was seen escorting her to the bathroom at one point. That’s just great. You know, L.L. Lucien, if you keep rescuing damsels in distress and surrounding yourself with the same sort of women, your life will never change. You really just bring this on yourself. At some point we’re going to stop feeling sorry for you.

The Arena was pretty hopping Friday night as people gathered to watch some madness go down! John was there with Harper’s dogs for some reason. And, let us tell you, Harper clearly has a soft spot for ugly because one of those dogs is damn near the ugliest thing our sources claim to have ever seen. We hear that Cutie Carley actually mistook it for a gremlin. Ha! Harper seemed to take offense to the remark and was quick to jump to the dog’s defense. But, really, that dog has no defense. It’s just butt ugly!

The trio was distracted from the ugly dog by the fact that Cutie Carley’s loud-mouthed boyfriend, Cy, beat the Old Temple Squire, Kalinda! No lie! We won’t get into it too much or we’ll totally ruin our Madness Updates for the Dueling Zone publication but needless to say quite a few people were more than a little shocked! We hear that Cy had quite the grin on his face when he left the ring… and he should! We HEART an underdog victory… even if it is a slight underdog victory! Poor Cutie Carley didn’t do as well against Thorne! He moved onto the next round and it seems she’ll be cheering Cy on from the sidelines.

This Kattria chick seems to be spending an awful lot of time hanging out with Kalamere. We think that setting your heart on Kal is a very dangerous proposition. He’s certainly hot and extremely talented but his interest in women is pretty…. well, let’s just say varied! He’s been seen spending quite a bit of time coming dangerously close to flirting with the set of baronesses and Lil’ Black Book Jaycy in particular. Since the baronesses are NOTHING alike, some of the interns think that a woman holding a title must turn him on. So, Kattria, if you want to capture Kalamere’s attention you better get to work on your parries!

Scotty and Harold’s wedding was scheduled to have taken place this past Tuesday with a party to celebrate on Thursday. All must have gone well because Scotty was seen in the Arena Saturday night catching up with some elf named Shadow (who’s evidently a returning Warlord). Harold was later seen giving his new hubby some encouraging words before sending Scotty off to duel. We really want to get behind this relationship and say that they’re too cute not to make it… but we don’t want to be disappointed! We sure hope that they don’t burn out, though. They’re one CUTE couple!

Real Human Emotion Monday!

It was a quiet night in the Red Dragon Inn Monday night but we do hear that Chief Mischief Maker Eless was spotted spending some time with her friends. One encounter, however, proved not so friendly. One of the Taneths had some pretty threatening remarks to make towards the patrons gathered, including C.M.M. Eless. This is really starting to get frightening. And Tormay’s off challenging the Overlord! We thought he was off trying to find a solution to the Taneth problem! We think he should spend a little more time concentrating on his wife! Things are clearly getting worse!

Evidently Anubis survived the Melee in the Inn because he was seen alive and well Monday night in the Outback. We hear that he was overheard pushing Kheldar to duel him in the Tour so that would certainly suggest that he wasn’t suffering any long term problems from the brawl. It seems that through all of it Brale Brother Reap was the one who was the worst off having gotten shot in the leg. Poor B.B. Reap! He didn’t even start the thing! He was just jumping in on the back end!

The Taneths were also seen in the Outback causing problems. The Many Faces of Fio intervened and grabbed one of the Taneths by the hair for threatening Rowdy Rekah and Lil’ Bit Lirssa. We hear that she wasn’t just threatening them but threatening them with DEATH! T.M.F.O. Fio was NOT pleased and was looking quite ill. Once Manly Mason and Doc Eva jumped into the fray, the Taneths disappeared and T.M.F.O. Fio left Lil’ Bit Lirssa in their care to head home. We sure hope she’s okay because she looked pretty sickly Monday night!

Crazy Train Tara got into it laaaate Monday night with Joey and Darcy over…. what else? Anubis. Joey was trying to tell C.T. Tara the tale of Anubis attacking her but C.T. Tara insisted that Joey must have done something to provoke Anubis. Joey was evidently high at the time of the attack so her poor retelling of the story certainly didn’t help matters. The whole thing makes Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan so angry that she refused to even discuss the matter with C.T. Tara! Maybe S.P.G. Teagan really DOES have feelings! She certainly seems to care for Joey. Darcy told Joey not to bother since C.T. Tara is love sick over the slaver. No, Darcy. C.T. Tara is just plain sick. Sick in the head. Her love for Anubis is just another sign of it.

Weak In The Knees Monday!

Now we would never peg Nigel immediately as the type that would make a woman’s heart skip a beat. After all, his name is Nigel. That draws the image of a bespectacled, pimply book worm to mind more than a ladies’ man, doesn’t it? Well, throw out your stereotypes because ‘hunk’ seems to have a new name! Nigel was seen in one HAWT lip lock with the suuuuper sexy Charna Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn before  he headed to the Outback to get his duel on. The chemistry was definitely SMOKING between the pair leaving us to wonder exactly what Nigel’s got that makes Charna weak in the knees!

No way! Say it ain’t so! We made our sources SWEAR on Intern Beast’s Rindy Carbona pumps that they were telling the truth on this one! It seems that Connar was seen speaking intimately with a pretty brunette in the Inn laaaaate into Monday night. Poor dear Chief Mischief Maker Eless! After all she and Connar have been through to get to this point, this can’t POSSIBLY be true! Not only do they claim that he chatted with her for quite some time but they also say that he was seen TOUCHING her! We don’t even know WHAT to think about this news. We still don’t have a name on the girl but we’re working overtime to get one. Promise!
