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???

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!

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.

A Doll Of A Tuesday!

What would a Tuesday night in the Red Dragon Inn be without Amber??? Like a day without the sun! We hear that Adorable Amber was indeed behind the bar Tuesday night to serve patrons. She was evidently trying to give away the massive amount of chocolate bunnies that were left over from the weekend. We’re actually not sure what’s more dangerous to pump the patrons of the Inn full of — sugar or alcohol! Well, Amber was certainly doing both!

Aolani was there to spread her debauchery. That seems to be her favorite hobby… or maybe it’s a career. We don’t know a whole heck of a lot about the woman after all and, after hearing reports about how she spends her nights, not much would surprise us. She’s got a pretty little groupie named Jenillisa who’s often in tow and was with her playing some sort of drinking game last night. There was also a girl with her named Jessica who was odd as well. But not odd in Jenillisa’s overly sexual sort of way but in the “Mice are my friends!” sort of way. We hear that Harris was among them as well but didn’t get involved in their game, saying that he couldn’t afford having a hangover at his challenge the next day.

We’re not sure if the reason that Kazzy jumps from job to job is because she can’t keep one or because none of them can keep her attention for more than a month! Either way, she was overheard talking to Lil’ Bit Lirssa about her newest gig. It seems that Kazzy is working on the local ballet theater’s newest production. Thankfully, she’s not actually dancing because nobody wants to see that. She’s evidently doing some behind the scenes grunt work. We give it three weeks!

Speaking of Lil’ Bit Lirssa, it seems that The Many Faces of Fio has totally LIED to her about why her classes are suspended. Our sources overheard Lirssa tell Kazzy that Fio says she’s on “Spring Break”. We’re telling you right now that it is NOT going to go over well when Lirssa finds out that not only has Fio suspended her lessons with Prof. Jolyon but that she lied to her about it. Those are going to be some serious fireworks. Fio is about to get one heck of a crash course in parenting!

We hear that Wulfson was spotted on Twilight Island! He’s always good for a line or two in “Overheard Around Town”! He spent the first half of the evening catching up with old friends but we hear that Xanth did tempt him into the ring later in the evening. Some of our sources are suggesting that the MANY time Archmage might be thinking about another attempt at the title at the end of the cycle. Well, he’s got a couple months to brush up on his skills! We know we’d love to see him throw down with Archmage McPretty Sivanna!

Speaking of the Archmage, we hear that Sivanna didn’t know about the multiple Taneths until last night. Seriously??? What rock does this woman live under??? We’re thinking about having our flyers delivered directly to her home every day. That’s just unacceptable!

A small crowd gathered to duke it out in the Outback Tuesday night as well! We hear that Erin was there and seen catching up with Locke and Carley. Erin was evidently impressed by the strides that both of them have taken in the duels in her absence. We have to wonder if they’ve actually surpassed her skill! Erin is looking awfully rusty these days. We’ll have to wait and see if she’s going to make the commitment to a serious comeback.

Crazy Train Tara was seen pulling in a wagon with a toddler sized doll riding in it. Yep. You read that right. Of course, she was talking to the doll, mixing the doll drinks, and generally acting like herself. Well, evidently at some point, Aya got spooked by the doll. We hear that Aya evidently accused it of moving….. and so she took her sword to it. As you can imagine, Tara was pretty beside herself. Thankfully, though, she seemed more interested in whining to Tass than destroying the Outback. Evidently Tara sent Darcy over to talk to Aya and Aya made it pretty darn clear that she has a strong policy against inanimate objects moving, talking, or sipping on Badsiders at the bar. Take note, Barbie! Stay away from the Outback!

Rumor has it that Joey showed up in the Outback after being MIA for some time. She looked a bit tired but well enough. Her friends all seemed glad to see her but nobody was more thrilled than Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan for obvious reasons. We hear that the ladies decided that they had a lot of “catching up to do” and so they left pretty early into the night. We’re just surprised that Kalamere stayed back and didn’t join them on this “catching up”.

Stabbed in the Back Friday!

Didn’t we tell you that Riley was in trouble! We also told you that the pretty little Aliss was quite the looker! It seems that Daniel was spotted admiring her beauty Friday night in the Red Dragon Inn. The pair were seen chatting for quite some time and we hear that she had him laughing. They were joined by a pretty little brunette who introduced herself as Mindy that Daniel said was his neighbor. That man is just surrounded by pretty women! Who will he choose? It seems Riley’s not doing herself any favors. Daniel was overheard telling Mindy that he and Riley had an argument about her earlier in the day. The wrong thing to do when you start dating a man is have an argument about his pretty neighbor. We should really start a school on dating for women of this town. Maybe they’d stop ending up with such jerks!

We hear that the adorable little Amber was overheard offering to find one of her friends a date that wasn’t “all grabby hands”. Niiiice. The problem is that most women in this town like their men grabby and rude. The bad boys prosper and the good boys remain single. And then these same ladies can’t figure out why it is that the men they find end up leaving them! Maybe we should hire Amber on as an instructor in this dating school! She certainly seems to have her head on straight!

Ali was seen catching up with his dear friend Kate. They certainly seem pretty… well, intimate friends. We’re not so sure we trust her and we’re not so sure that Fio should either. We don’t believe that her feelings for Ali are completely platonic and she seems like one of those pseudo good girls who will stab you in the back and steal your man as soon as you turn your back. Ali’s not the type to leave a pregnant wife, is he??? No, probably not. However, we wouldn’t put it past him to cheat on his pregnant wife with an old flame. Watch your back, Fio! That’s all we’re saying! We don’t want to see the first marriage that we ever officiated end in a blaze of fire. Seriously. This time we really don’t.

Everett and Glenn were seen chatting together at the bar… which really isn’t all that surprising. We don’t think that they knew each other from when Everett was first in RhyDin but their personalities are so similar that it was only a matter of time before they met and became fast friends. What was surprising is that Juliane was seen with the pair of them! Let’s take two somewhat shy, quiet men and throw in an effervescent, beautiful young woman??? We’re surprised that the two didn’t spend the whole night tripping over their tongues in her presence. She can’t possibly be interested in one of them…. could she???

There was a lot going on in the Annex Friday night! Not only were Madness duels in high swing but there are quite a few people participating in this New Haven Squire tournament. Seriously??? There are people out there who WANT to be the Squire to Deathlord??? This is really just getting too weird. Somebody finally needs to step up and end his reign! It’s not enough that the scary looking guy is the baron of the most upscale district in RhyDin but he’s also starting some sort of creepy real estate business in New Haven. We’re not big on the interest Taneth has taken in him either…. or that he has taken in her. Really, Lucky Lawyer Lucien should put an end to that!

It seems that Kattria survived her sexual encounter of the frequented kind. She was back in the Annex Friday night getting some dueling in and we hear that she had a new face with her. Evidently the young woman’s name is Tristanie and she’s Kattria’s sister. She’s definitely a bit more on the silly side and evidently she had a toad with her. A bit odd but what else would you expect from a sister of Kattria??? The girls were quite the bubbly force and according to their conversation it seems we can expect dueling out of Tristanie in the future!

So it seems this whole Rix/Sarah thing is for real! What in the world??? He was seen hanging out on the couch with her while she called and we’re told that the action was one step from inappropriate behavior for a caller. They were even overheard discussing how he had just moved into her place!  We’re totally confused. We know one thing, though. Rix has been with a lot of girls over the years but he never makes it to the end of an aisle. We’re betting that this wedding never happens.

They weren’t the only surprising pair caught cuddling in the Annex late into the night! We hear that Paradise was seen all snuggled up to… Shadow??? Now there are rumors that Paradise was dating Venom Vinny but we’re sure that it wasn’t exclusive because nothing ever is with Venom Vinny. Therefore, we’re not too terribly surprised to see Paradise with another man but… Shadow??? When did these two start hooking up? She definitely seemed to light up when she saw him and he was definitely feeling her. Iiiiinteresting!
