We have debated how to handle the incident as serious journalism is not exactly what we do. We cannot, however, ignore that the incident happened and there’s a different account for every article or report that is out there. All we can do is report the information that our sources were able to report back to us.

The madness started when Darien, one of the leaders of the Prop 37 movement, began speaking to a ever growing crowd outside the Inn. The news outlets have estimated the crowd from anywhere from fifty to a thousand people but our sources are saying that it was somewhere in the range of one hundred to two hundred angry folks. This Darien fellow certainly knows how to get a crowd going because they were pretty darn livid!

Now even our sources can’t say who started the violence. There were punches swung from the mob but there are also reports of gunfire from those who were in the Inn. Everything got violent so quickly that it’s hard to say who started the violence.

We hear that Prof. Jolyon tried to reason with the crowd and, in particular, Darien but reason and logic didn’t seem to be on anyone’s list of priorities. Evidently, Prof. Jolyon even took a pretty nasty blow to the head in the melee that ensued. We do hear that he will be fine and that is great news!

Poor Rekah got caught up in the mob and was shoved to the ground in the chaos. We hear that she even lost consciousness for several minutes. After being pulled from the crowd by a priest and Sassy Serena and then tended to by The Many Faces of Fio, we hear that she was alert and doing well. T.M.F.O. Fio was quite frantic when she initially saw Rekah getting pulled into the fray. In fact, we hear that she even began to run out from the relative safety of the Inn after her friend until she saw that the unknown priest and Sassy Serena had it under control. T.M.F.O. Fio and Rekah are such dear girls! And maybe Sassy Serena’s turning around herself!

Things got particularly bad when SLUTtacious Darcy completely fell apart because her brother, David, was unable to make it into the Inn when the violence started. We hear that David was able to escape unhurt but SLUTtacious Darcy was a sobbing mess. Ryan dashed back into the crowd to look for David but came out with a little girl that he saved from being trampled. Major brownie points in our book!

Mega Mom Icer did NOT help matters. However, we think she had good intentions. The crowd was definitely intimidated by her which made them even more aggressive. When fires start being lit she blew ice on them. Obviously, the crowds were further enraged by the show of magic. Matters for M.M. Icer have got even worse in the days that followed that incident. Our sources are working hard to get accurate information on that so that we may relay that to you.

Keeper Neo was part of the crowd attempting to calm things down. We hear that his voice too was drowned out by the crowd. Evidently his brother Jin and one of their friends actually played a major role in finally dispersing the mob. Word on the street is that some sort of empathy spell was placed on the mob. The scene that was left behind was definitely surreal. The number of casualties fluctuates depending on which source you choose to believe. Clearly, though, people died, people were injured.

Doc Eva and Manly Mason arrived after much of the crowd had dispersed. We hear that she looked over several of the dead but that, for the most part, those who were injured had left by the time she had arrived. Awful Ali, Lucky Lawyer Lucien, Hunky Hudson, and Queen of Class and Sass Sylvia were all late to arrive but when they did they were shocked by the scene and the events that had happened shortly before their arrival. Awful Ali, in particular, appeared quite distraught. We’re sure that it was because his wife, T.M.F.O. Fio, was caught up in the whole mess. Let us tell you, it was quite a hug that he gave her when he finally found her.

Rarely do we use this blog to make a stand but we feel that now we must. Many of us here at the Den of Gossip have seen beings face prejudice for merely being what they are in the countless cities we have been in. In fact, we have, unfortunately, faced some of that same prejudice. As a community at-large — both magical and not — we must stand shoulder to shoulder and refuse to allow this to continue!

Take care and stay safe!

It seems that Playboy Shane is listening to R.C. Brandon because after R.C. Brandon called her worse insults than even we feel comfortable laying out, Playboy Shane did not defend his lady love but instead left with R.C. Brandon. Coooold. Very, very cold. We hate to feel sorry for SLUTTACIOUS Darcy but she can do better than a guy who ditches her like that.

It seems a couple more of Icer’s progeny has hatched as she told Marvelous Mira. Marvelous Mira seemed disappointed that the young were back at Le Dragon Cave and not there for her to play with. Ha! We’re sure that M. Mira can get an invitation back to Le Dragon Cave because Icer’s seriously got to need the babysitting help. That dragon-lady has just GOT to stop having kids.

Cutie Carley was with her newest handsome companion — an elf who seems to go by Cy. Very good-looking, Cutie Carley! We here at the Den of Gossip totally approve! We hear that our foul-mouthed little favorite had some… uh… choice comments about Lil’ Boy Blue Locke’s… well, little Locke, if you know what we’re saying. L.B.B. Locke didn’t seem to appreciate her commentary and invited her into the bathroom with him when he went to check out “little Locke” (or “Little Big Locke” as he seemed to be contending) for herself. Head into the bathroom she did! And with a SLINGSHOT! Evidently, L.B.B. Locke’s cry could be heard well into the common room.

The prank got her a stern talking to from Queen of Class Sylvia who was there attempting to have a quiet drink with her Hunky Hudson. As seems to be a common trend with them, Hunky Hudson could not stay long without being called away by a messenger! What a bummer! Must be the story of Q.O.C Sylvia’s life these days! He certainly laid quite the cute little kiss on her before he left though. Le sigh. These two are ALMOST enough to turn the whole lot of us here at the Den of Gossip into a bunch of sappy romantics. ALMOST.

Den Mama Sid! No lie! Den Mama Sid was seen behind the bar late Saturday night catching up with her dear friend Q.O.C. Sylvia. It seems like D.M. Sid is everyone’s “dear friend”, though. As usual, she was acting a bit eccentric — fading in and out of view covered in sparkles, cursing some unknown sorcerer, and talking of bouncy castles. What are you going to do??? That’s Den Mama Sid and you can’t help but love her and all her beautiful eccentricities.

The basement Arena was busy with activity Saturday night! Sweetheart S’jira and Head Pussy Panther were seen canoodling! COUGHMARRYHERCOUGHCOUGH! While Brale Brother Baker seemed to accidently wander a floor lower. One bar is just like any other to him, we suppose. He was belly up to the bar pounding down the mugs of ale and verbally accosting any woman who would stop and chat. One classy dude!

We do hear that he actually managed to have a somewhat coherent conversation with Lil’ Miss Anger Management Jewell. The pair talked of life, love, and the event the previous night! It seems that B.B. Baker drummed it down to a night full of “stuffy bastards”. We sure hope he wasn’t refering to us! OMG! We’d be so sad! It seems that he was upset that yours truly didn’t say hi to him. We are sure we overlooked a few but we were oh-so nervous about performing a wedding! So to make up for it…. hiiiii, Brale Brother Baker!!! Cutie Carley or one of our other regular readers, make sure B.B. Baker sees our little shout out to him!

We bet that she would have given Hudson a back rub! The two were later spotted hanging out together and were as cozy as always! We never would have pegged him for a romantic but we hear that he bought a lovely bouquet of flowers from Marvelous Mira from Q.O.C. Sylvia! He seems to be quite the catch! Get it??? Fisherman? Catch?

Head Pussy Panther was in the Inn talking to Sex Pot Kitty about a nice rack!!! Okay, okay. So it was a buck’s rack, not a woman’s. We’re absolutely sure that S.P. Kitty would rather be chatting about a woman’s! S.P. Kitty wisely became quite silent when SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee began questioning Head Pussy Panther on when he would be settling down with S’jira. H.P. Panther seemed a bit uncomfortable with the questioning! Wow! They’ve been together FOREEEEVVVEEERRR…. at least in RhyDin terms! H.P. Panther must have some serious commitment issues. He better be careful. That woman is HAWT and there’s always the chance that she’ll be snatched away from him!

OMG! What in the world was Awful Ali doing to The Many Faces of Fio??? There was some serious hardcore grinding going on!!! As they were bumping hips they were also whispering in each other’s ears. Those two just keep getting closer and closer. We think S.P. Kitty should be warning her away from him but she was too busy flirting with Jace and catching up with Icer. A. Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio have moved on from harmless flirting to behavior that is quite inappropriate in public for a young lady! Although, we doubt that either of them worries much about T.M.F.O. Fio’s reputation.

Whooooa! When someone made mention of Caine as Michiko’s “mate” she replied that he was not “yet”!!! Moving a little quickly, are we??? Now, ladies, this is just the type of behavior that sends men running STRAIGHT for the closest exit. Let a man get to know you before you start putting such pressures on his shoulders. Seriously, if the women of this town took our advice there would be a lot fewer of them dumped and many more successful marriages. We should open a school for all of these troubled young ladies!

Smoldering Sylvia got all the details about Sex Pot Kitty’s wedding straight from the source! We regret that Smoldering Sylvia could not have made it almost as much as Smoldering Sylvia does. Wouldn’t you have just LOVED to see her dress??? Not a soul missed that smile on her face when Hunky Hudson walked into the room! They were overheard making plans for him to come visit her and the children before they leave town once again. We LOVE that her children LOVE him!

Hudson had some fantastic news to share!!! It seems that Johnny has FINALLY showed up! Poor, dear Sianna must be beside herself happy. We’re thankful he’s alive, of course, after all the rumors of his demise but we sure hope he has a darn good explanation for abandoning his wife and newborn twins!!!

BLUE Mish was right back to hitting on the female tenders Saturday night! This time his target was Den Mama Sid who wasn’t in danger of having her pants charmed off her either! Luckily, for BLUE Mish that girl, Eleanor, was around once again for him to flirt with. Must be Spring Fever that’s got their hormones all in a buzz!

In the category of “This Certainly Won’t Help Him Get Elected” it seems that Mini-Franker Cor fell asleep on the bar only to be pranked by Derby Girl Sami! We hear that she made his face her only little sketch pad. To make matters worse, she undressed him and put him in a teddy. Classy! Well, every politician has their very own sex scandal! We have a feeling that Deliciously Sinful Sin’s will be FABULOUSLY skanky!

Speaking of the skanky one, he was certainly in rare form!!! Maybe it was the whole TGIF Fever that had seeped into his bones but D.S. Sin certainly had eyes for EVERYTHING that was on the move! He was seen kissing NAKED Mishka in a booth and NAKED Mishka wrapped his legs around him. But that wasn’t the end of it! He was also seen staring at Rebekah’s rear end as she walked across the common room.

Sylvia was seen chatting with Prof. Jolyon Friday night by the hearth and we’re all wondering if she was relating him the story of her downright STEAMY kiss with Hunky Hudson two nights prior! Our sources evidently missed it (and we have punished them for that) but word got to us anyway of the FANTASTIC kiss! EVERYBODY is in a buzz over it! It’s the Kiss Heard ‘Round RhyDin! We’re so thrilled that these two are FINALLY together! Now that they’re together, we sure hope that they STAY together.

Our sources did hear, however, that Prof. Jolyon was briefly considering accompanying her on her journey but later had to bow out as he remembered a date with Real Estate Mogul Rena to watch a duel. Not the most romantic date in the world but give Prof. Jolyon a little time. He’ll come around.

That little leprachaun, who we found out is named Seamus, is making quite the splash with RhyDin’s finest! He already has SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee thrilled with his rainbow-icious fun and he was also seen feeding Chief Mischief Maker Eless a couple fine lines! We hear that C.M.M. Eless was even blushing! Better watch your girl, Connar, or you may lose her to a leprechaun! That would be embarrassing!

Marvelous Maeve! We totally HEART her! She was in an excellent mood because her crocs had “warbled” (whatever that means) and were busy building nests. Well…. great, we think! She was also showing quite a lot of interest in how politics are conducted in RhyDin considering where she comes from the rulers are usually those with the most money and scariest weapons. Considering the number of political refugees in this city, we don’t think she’s the only one that’s glad that isn’t how things are done here in RhyDin!

Supposedly, Potter Piper was seen in the Inn laaaate into the night. OMG! ARE YOU KIDDING US???? Sorry, Kid Not-Doc Anya, we’ll use our inside voice. Are you kidding us?!?! Evidently she did not stay too long and only had time to chat with Real Estate Mogul Rena and Chief Mischief Maker Eless. We sure hope that she stops by again some time very soon. WE MISS HER!!!

Yuck. Enabler Brandon was seen presenting a bouquet of flowers to PAARTY GIRL Chase. Blah. We’re not going to like him until he gets her HELP… or at least keeps her from drinking a bottle of booze a night! For crying out loud! She’s too pretty to drink herself into an early grave. And, unfortunately, the people who love her just keep supplying her with it!

HUDSON! That sure was Hunky Hudson in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night! It seems that news of his safe return to RhyDin was correct! We’re sure that gives Sianna a small amount of peace. He was joined at a table by the Smith girls — Juliane and Ballerina Katarina. And who can help but be in a good mood in their presence??? Our sources claim to have overheard him telling friends that the reason he has been out of town for so long is that he was shipwrecked!!!

It sounds as if Our Darling Taneth and The World’s Hottest Helston Fio are planning some sort of mass sleepover to be held in the Great Hall!!! We’re not sure of a date yet but, man, that sounds like an absolute BLAST! Unfortunately, the duo have no sense of keeping riff raff out because they were overheard inviting The Dread Pirate Robert to the event. Hopefully, his alcohol saturated mind will conveniently forget the get-together! We can’t even imagine what sort of trouble he’d manage to get into!

It’s seems Gabby Gem and Ali are still going strong. The pair were seen flirting away together Wednesday night. We’re not quite sure what the glue is that holds this relationship together! Gabby Gem is super sweet and always seems to have a kind word while Ali is grumpy and moody! Opposites attract and all that, we suppose! We’re not betting on this relationship to make it through the summer, though.

Moooore drama at Riverview Clinic! Kid Not-Doc Anya was dishing about the clinic being vandalized. They think that it may have something to do with the pending lawsuit that has K.N-D. Anya unable to practice medicine but there is, unfortunately, no proof. She is taking the lemons and trying to make some delic lemonade by having the children of the clinic paint over the damaged walls! Love that idea!

There’s been great speculation here in the Gossip Lair over what Lil Boy Blue Locke and Manly Mason were discussing Wednesday night! Manly Mason approached L.B.L. Locke who was hanging out with his gal, Ballerina Katarina, and catching up with Hunky Hudson. M. Mason and L.B.L. Locke stepped away from the group to have a private chat. It certainly did not seem like a friendly conversation. Manly Mason is definitely good at causing conflict. Is there a night that goes by that he’s not seen confronting someone in the Inn???

Zara was back behind the bar for the first time in a long time! It seems like Head Pussy Cat Panther is having a lot of tenders returning as the weather starts to warm up! We hear that she’s had a bit of personal turmoil in recent months. We sure hope everything works out for her!

Chief Mischief Maker Eless was overheard calling White Knight Julian an “enigma”! Well, if that’s not the truth! W.K. Julian denied the accusation but we’re in agreement with C.M.M. Eless! Perhaps if W.K. Julian wasn’t such a puzzle, SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee would be more open with him and the pair would finally hook up! ….Actually, we’re betting that SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee is interested mainly because he is such a mystery!

Caine and Michiko were hanging out in the Inn once again. They certainly seem to be headed veeeeery quickly towards a relationship! There’s just something odd about this relationship but we can’t quite put our finger on it. Perhaps it’s just the knowledge that Michiko has had sex with BLUE Mish. Maybe it spoils her in our minds!

That new guy, Jochin, was heard calling Badsider Brew “crap”!!! OMG!!! Them’s there’s fighting words in this neck of the woods, buddy! Is it just us or are you shocked as well that Badsider Brew Spokesmodel, PJ, didn’t suddenly pop out from under the bar (where we’re sure she’s been living) to pop him in the throat!!! Or maybe Red Orc Brewery (which makes Badsider Brew) Orc-Owner, Jake, would bash his way out of the kitchen to pummel him! Somebody needs to teach him that Badsider is sacrosanct in these parts!

Real Estate Mogul Rena certainly seems to be keeping her options open! She was seen with the mystery man (who we’re told goes by the name Micheal) once again! He was overheard telling her that he hadn’t forgot that he promised her a dance and she replied that she would take him up on it. These two are kind of cute together and Micheal doesn’t seem to be at all shy about making sure that she knows he’s interested!

OMG!!!! FANTASTIC NEWS!!! Svelte Sylvia told C.M.M. Eless that Hunky Hudson has been found alive and well!!! We’re so happy for Sianna. We’re sure that she could use the good news and the comfort of having her brother home. We hear that Svelte Sylvia was looking quite thoughtful. However, not much else of the conversation is known. Of course, we’re dying to know if Hudson’s return will impact whether or not S. Sylvia goes through with the marriage offer she’s been considering and we’ve been reporting on!

Sylvia’s attention was diverted from hearing of the gardens as soon as Hudson headed on in. The Hud seemed keen on spending some time with the lovely lady as well! Our sources tell us that Sylvia spent a while teaching The Hud how to play darts. These two are absolutely adorable together!

We hear Crazy Train Tara was all upset Friday night but our sources never could determine the exact cause. They believe it had something to do with Anubis but we’re never fully certain. Geez, geez, geez! It’s Anubis! Her “sister and brother”, Cieara and Daniel, attempted to console her but we hear that C.T. Tara was pretty teary-eyed ALL NIGHT LONG! You’ve really got to be kidding us!

Ohz Noz, kids! We hear that Brale Brother Baker was overheard attempting to explain brale to the sweet tender on duty, Soran. Evidently Soran wasn’t feeling the part in which he told her to “expose a breast” of her choice for him to dip in the ale. Lordy, Lordy! Soran wasted no time in pouring that ale over B.B. Baker’s head! What a nut!

Down in the Inn’s basement Arena, Jay and Kazzy were being their odd selves. These two seemed awfully chummy, though! Could their be something there??? We suppose even crazy people need love. These two are certainly a bit on the crazy side!

Potter Piper was seen chatting with Sylvia and Hudson about the Merry Mischief’s kite flying event! We hear that the event is to take place this Monday in the Glen at two in the afternoon! How fabulous! Both ladies certainly seemed excited about the event. Knowing those mischief makers, it’ll certainly be a fun afternoon of merriment! We wonder if The Hud is into kite flying! We’re starting to suspect that he’ll be into it if Sylvia is into it!

Chief Mischief Maker Eless was all about the kites as well Monday night! It seems she’s trying to raise awareness for the faaaabulous hobby! She was even overheard trying to convince Guthorm to come to the event. We’re not so sure he’s the kite flying type but major props to Eless for giving it a go!

Potter Piper and DoD-er Rena expressed their surprise when Tiny Tucker showed up to take a shift behind the bar as Monday nights aren’t typically a day that he’s been known to tend bar. Tiny Tucker was overheard saying that he was in need of a “change of pace”! We wonder if this has something to do with the major blow up he had with Doc Eva. Speaking of which, there have been absolutely no Doc Eva sightings that we know of since that night! We sure hope she’s okay!

Just when we were staaaaarving for a SUUUUPER Des spotting, she was seen Monday night in the Outback calling duels. Even more interesting, however, was WHO she was calling duels for! It seems that Jesse, the cocky pain in the neck himself, is back!!! OMG!!! Lock up your womenfolk! The boy’s on the prowl! He was seen talking smack with The Gov MAN-tastic Matt in a ring and showed the old Gov a thing or two!

The trash talking didn’t end there! Jesse was later seen “catching up” with SMOKIN’ Sartan…. which just seemed to be an hour period of the pair exchanging blows in a ring and insults outside of it. We’re so glad Jesse’s back!!! The boy’s just MADE for good drama!

SPOTTED:

- Wolv and his bride-to-be, Fierce Ayly, in the Red Dragon Inn! We’re a sucker for Fierce Ayly sightings! It seems he’s still all eyes for her and who can blame him??? The pair had a drink and flirted shamelessly for quite a while before being joined by Ren and TRASH-tastic Jade for some boozing fun!

- Yummy Ewan slipping out to share a smoke and a quiet conversation with Awesome Alain! We have a feeling that the boys weren’t just gossiping! Yummy Ewan didn’t remain away long from the DIVINE Storm’s side! He’s certainly sticking more to her side these days which we find totally cute. We love men who wait on their pregnant wives!!!

- Crazy Train Tara lamenting that she’s no longer allowed to talk to Alysia due to that gigantic blow-up the night before! We still don’t understand what’s going on there but we’d take Alysia’s side ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!! That girl is scary! Crazy Train Tara certainly better think twice about which side she’s taking!

- Lil’ Miss Anger Management Jewell ordering some girl off the bar and to put her clothes back on! Who would have thought that L.M.A.M. Jewell would ever have the nerve to tell anyone to tone down their behavior!!! She got distracted, however, by Den Mama Sid who was acting awfully odd. We wonder what’s up with her! Iiiiinteresting!

- Awesome Alain talking quietly with a mystery blonde that most certainly was NOT Twin Spice! This new girl is quite pretty and definitely has that good girl vibe that we feel is more up Awesome Alain’s alley. The pair were even seen leaving the Inn together. We just knew he was keeping his options open!!!

- Antonio taking the next step to becoming close with Chief Mischief Maker Eless — joining her band of merry troublemakers! We hear that Eless was discussing possible membership for Antonio into the Merry, Mischief Making Misfits Clan (of which we’re told that we have an honorary membership)! You reel that handsome man in, C.M.M. Eless!!!

- Sylvia asking Antonio how to make his famed Passion drink with her rumored “close friend”, Hudson, sitting right there! Could she be planning on mixing up one of those drinks later for The Hud??? We certainly hope so! The two of them are adorable together! We have a feeling that his sis, Sianna would totally approve!

- Head Pussy Panther taking a moment to embrace his lovely S’jira in between scolding the likes of Crazy Train Tara and others before they moved from threats to violence! Poor Head Pussy Panther! Another night of trying to keep the Inn from becoming a battleground! We can see why he is totally addicted to the sense of serenity that S’jira offers!

- the delightful Miss Mercy drinking her rum and singing up a storm! We ADORE Miss Mercy sightings as well! We think it’s just about time she dusted herself off and jumped back into the dating game! Go for it, Miss Mercy!

- Krazy Kitty discussing her concerns for her sister and the events of the night before with her man, Tass. He seemed to listen intently to her concerns and offered advice quietly! That makes us like him a bit more! Krazy Kitty certainly needs a good listener in her life! Even though she doesn’t have the weight of the governorship anymore, she always seems to have a lot of concerns!

- Mini-Franker Cor downstairs in the Inn’s basement Arena calling duels. He was joined by a very drunk Twin Spice! The pair didn’t talk much but after his shift they were seen leaving together! If you remember correctly, these two dated for quite some time last year! With Awesome Alain making the rounds, could Twin Spice also be open to rekindling an old flame???

- Soerl and Rena chatting it up in the Inn well into the night!!! Speaking of old flames, it’s been well documented that DoD-er Rena may have had a thing for Soerl quite some time ago. Soerl’s wife hasn’t been seen around lately. Could it be that he’s looking for a new love???
