The question on everybody’s mind Thursday night in the Red Dragon Inn was what in the world has gotten into The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker??? He began his night behind the bar with some very un-Tucker like flirting with Lilli and then was quite rude to his friend Prof. Jolyon. His inappropriate behavior hardly ended there, though! He was seen whispering with Crazy Train Tara, giving Lil’ Bit Lirssa completely creepy looks considering her age, spent quite a bit of time trying to convince Eleanor to have sex with him, and even grabbed Serena (who was tending with him) to pull her in quite close. We hear that him putting his hands on Serena was the final straw for Manly Mason who went to intervene but was pulled away by Doc Eva. The whole thing is very, very odd.
Speaking of Serena, we hear that she was overheard telling Tucker that Prof. Jolyon asked her to marry him! Tucker’s reaction was to leave the Inn. The rumors that there is more than friendship between Serena and Tucker could have explained his odd behavior if it wasn’t for the fact that he had accomplished all his inappropriate behavior BEFORE she gave him the news. We’re at a loss. Anybody got any idea what’s wrong with T.W.H.T. Tucker??? Has he entered a new, creepy stage in mourning his loss of Doc Eva???
Lil’ Bit Lirssa and C.T. Tara had their own theories, of course. Lil’ Bit Lirssa seemed certain that Prof. Jolyon knew what was going on. Although, we have no idea why she thought there was a connection between the two men. C.T. Tara, on the other hand, was entirely convinced that T.W.H.T. Tucker was a pod person and that they needed to hire Awesome Alain to investigate the matter. We’re left confused as to whether we should believe the two of them or whether we should be horrified that C.T. Tara is allowed anywhere near L.B. Lirssa’s impressionable young mind. We suppose those two things aren’t mutually exclusive, though.
OMG. Spade gets around more than… well, more than C.T. Tara! She was overheard flirting with Harris who had to remind her that he has a wife. A very dangerous, foul-mouthed wife as those that remember her dueling days can attest. The pair had quite the lengthy discussion about sexual matters and a marriage between them should Harris ever get a divorce. Yep, completely an inappropriate conversation to have with a married man but Spade is far from the most well-mannered young woman that has ever walked into the Red Dragon Inn. That is one girl badly in need of a strict finishing school and a good spanking!
Wow. Danny and Kazzy are getting awfully tight, aren’t they? Sure, sure. We know what you’re going to say. They’re just spending time together because they miss Lizzie. The best friend and the boyfriend spend time together to help ease their sorrow, right??? Well, we’re not so sure we buy it. They NEVER seem to mention her anymore and with none of our sources having spotted Grem recently we think Kazzy’s ripe for the picking! We didn’t think Kazzy was the type to be able to stab her best friend in the back but…. now we’re not entirely sure anymore. You better believe we’re going to be keeping our eyes peeled on this one! You guessed it. Totally inappropriate!
A crowd gathered in the Arena to watch two challenges go down… or not go down as the case might have been. Overlord Tical was scheduled to face off against the Baron of Dockside, Vanion. Unfortunately for the crowd hoping to see a challenge, Vanion didn’t bother to show. It seemed pretty decided even that night as Lil’ Black Book Jaycy (Baroness of Seaside), Real Estate Mogul Rena (Baroness of Battlefield Park), the Wrecking Crew’s Maria (Baroness of Old Temple), and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan (Baroness of Dragon’s Gate) all weighed in that they believed that the challenge should be voided and Vanion be stripped of his right to challenge for the remainder of the cycle. Considering that was a clear majority, it didn’t come as a shock when the Supervisor of Duel of Swords, G’naughty G’nort, announced the same just yesterday.
Something of note with the baronesses decision was that they specifically stated that Vanion would not be allowed to challenge at all for the remainder of the cycle, not just for Overlord. By doing so, they protected themselves from challenge against him for the rest of the cycle if The Warlord Who We Shall Not Name Because He Throws A Hissy Fit Every Time His Name Or His Girlfriend’s Name Is In Print is successful in defeating him in the challenge for Dockside…. which by the way will be fought tonight!
….And, yeah, that’s just the first challenge mess! There was another!
It seemed that in the middle of the first match between two former Overlords — Real Estate Mogul Rena and Anubis — for the right to be the baron(ess) of Battlefield Park, Anubis disappeared from the ring. We assume the cause is some sort of Nexus/Ward disturbance (as it has been rumored for years that there is some sort of relationship between the Nexus and the Ward) but Anubis has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. R.E.M. Rena was given the option of (a) rescheduling with Anubis, (b) facing his second, Xanth, or (c) sending the matter to the Council. Much to many people’s dismay, R.E.M. Rena decided to send it to the Council.
Thus, after being completely unused for quite some time, the Council received two matters to settle in one night.
Among those in the crowd was the storied duelist Kalamere who was seen chatting with G’naughty G’nort about the possibility of a comeback and even the idea of challenging for a barony once again. And then later in the night he was actually seen dueling! We sure hope it wasn’t a one time deal! It would be great to see him back in action again. While they were chatting, G’naughty G’nort mentioned that he might be done dueling for a while! He even tossed the word ‘retirement’ around. He said he wanted to continue running the place but may take a step back from dueling now that he’s reached the insane level of 200 wins over losses. We really do hope that’s not true. What a bummer that would be!
