Strange Thursday!

Thursday was a strange night in the Red Dragon Inn! The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker and Serena were behind the bar as they usually are and T.W.H.T. Tucker was acting just as outrageous and unlike himself as he has been in recent weeks. He began exchanging some pretty heated words with Doc Eva when it appears he was darted by a tranquilizer according to our sources. Doc Eva, Professor Jolyon, Manly Mason, and Serena carried Tucker into the kitchen and left Juliane out to watch the bar and make sure nobody entered the kitchen. Insane! At one point we hear that Doc Eva came out for a med kit but other than a lot of commotion we have no idea what happened in that kitchen! Several hours later Tucker did emerge conscious and silently left the Inn with Serena. Doc Eva, Manly Mason, and Prof. Jolyon said not a word as they all left the Inn as well. Really, really odd. We do hope that whatever happened it restores Tucker to his old self.

It got even stranger from there. Crazy Train Tara was sitting in the middle of the Inn alone muttering to herself when all of a sudden she stabbed herself in the stomach with a dagger. Lucky Lawyer Lucien who had entered just as she plunged a knife into her belly immediately rushed to her to try to talk some sense into her. Unfortunately, she was too busy punching herself in the face, asking Brale Brother Reap for a hatchet, and running into walls to listen to sense. From what we can gather she was trying to purge herself from… well, unclean thoughts of her “LovePuppet”…. who we believe to be L.L. Lucien. Are we the only ones that find it odd that only a couple days earlier she was trying to kill L.L. Lucien out of love for Anubis and now she’s ready to kill herself out of love for L.L. Lucien??? The wonders of C.T. Tara! We just really have to wonder what god L.L. Lucien pissed off to deserve the women that he currently has in his life!

The Arena was heavy with dueling Thursday night but not a lot of gossip. Our sources did spot the legendary duelist Kalamere having a conversation with Lil’ Black Book Jaycy. L.B.B. Jaycy was overheard saying that she won’t retire while Anubis is still dueling because she feels she must counteract him and stand in his way of getting titles. We also hear that she told Kalamere that her newest boy toy Pslyder was attacked the week prior! Wow! According to L.B.B. Jaycy they had no idea who the attacker was but you know it must be somebody serious in order to take down an experienced duelist like Pslyder. As much as his relationship with L.B.B. Jaycy annoys us, we do hope that he recovers quickly and fully!

Livid Friday!

Awww! Who can look at Cowboy Jake and Marvelous Mira and just not melt at their cuteness??? The pair were in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night sitting on the couch looking incredibly cozy. We have questioned in the past whether or not she’s as into him as he is into her but our sources are adamant that she seems to totally be digging him these days. We have to wonder if what came off as aloofness around him was actually just shyness. Who wouldn’t feel a little shy when a guy who looks like Cowboy Jake starts seriously courting you??? This couple is totally going all the way. We can’t wait until he asks her to marry him! It can’t be all that far off!

We hear that Lilli (who, although is supposedly dating Zev, has been linked with The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker in the past) was asking Lil’ Bit Lirssa if she had seen T.W.H.T. Tucker as of late and how he was behaving. She seemed a bit concerned… as we all are! T.W.H.T. Tucker’s behavior has been waaaay strange! Lirssa summed up the uncharacteristic behavior from the night before for Lilli and that didn’t seem to put Lilli at ease at all. We hear that Lilli told L.B. Lirssa that Tucker really needs his friends right now. Do YOU know what in the world is going on with him??? If so send a note to the Den of Gossip ASAP!

It seems that there is one or two people who might! Our sources tell us that later into the night Serena was explaining to Eless about why Tucker’s been acting so odd. They couldn’t hear the full details but they were able to determine that he was infected with something. Maybe Crazy Train Tara’s pod person theory was right! Chief Mischief Maker Eless was LIVID with the news! We hear that she even CURSED a couple times. Can you imagine that??? We wish we were there to hear it! Somehow Prof. Jolyon is involved and his involvement has evidently led to the end of the engagement between he and Serena. And that news made Lil’ Bit Lirssa LIVID! Wowzers!

It seems that Aaron has been quick to couple off with the pretty blonde named Aila. No idea where he picked this one up but we understand his desire to take her off the market quickly. She’s a cute little thing. The pair were seen hanging out with Quinn… who really needs a boyfriend upgrade. Unfortunately, she’s not going to get it hanging out with Aaron and Aila who are friends of her man, Dean. He did come in later into the night to spend a bit of time with his girlfriend and friends. We wonder if she’s aware of all the quality time he’s been having with that pretty blonde elf lately.

And just when we think Lil’ Black Book Jaycy’s slide into becoming nothing more than Pslyder’s arm candy can’t get any deeper… it does. Le sigh! Yep, she was seen Friday night in the Annex keeping the queue during the massive amount of tour dueling that was on going while her new man was calling duels. And, yes, she was sitting in his lap. And, yes, she was wearing a French maid’s outfit. We’re just so flabbergasted by this behavior that we don’t know where to begin. It’s sad. This was one of the most infamous female playboys in the city. Her game was HUGE. And now she’s reduced to this. Really, really sad.

Frenemy Thursday!

Thursday night in the Red Dragon Inn started off quietly enough. We hear that Nigel and Brale Brother Reap are quickly becoming BFFs. They’re practically inseparable these days. In large part, this seems to be due to the fact that they have both been seriously bitten by the dueling bug. They’ve been seen spending large amounts of time in the dueling venues, bashing heads in. We’re not all that surprised, particularly with B.B. Reap. He just seems to fit into the heavy drinking and gratuitous violence of the dueling venues. Anyway, the pair were seen talking strategy Thursday night in the Inn over drinks before they headed off to get their duel on.

Things were immediately tense between The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker and his bar mate, Serena, when they showed up for their shift. The back-and-forth bickering lasted pretty much the entire length of their shift and at one point T.W.H.T. Tucker accused her of not being excited enough about getting married. We hear that Serena also had some sharp words for some girl that she seemed to think was too trampy to be flirting with T.W.H.T. Tucker. Reeeeaaaally? Too trampy, huh? We’re starting to see a possible motive behind all this tension. Are you??? It wasn’t just Serena who he exchanged harsh words for, though. We hear that he got into it with Manly Mason, threatened Prof. Jolyon, and yelled at Crazy Train Tara for calling him a “pod person”. Then he screwed up The Many Faces of Fio’s order so badly that she looked ready to bash him over the head with something. Awful Ali had to step in and calm her down! You have to be careful with those pregnant women, T.W.H.T. Tucker! They will bite your hand off if you mess with them!

The fireworks didn’t end with T.W.H.T. Tucker storming out! Both C.T Tara and Dawn were spotted at the bar exchanging biting commentary. What do the pair of them have in common? Well, Anubis, of course! Dawn is the wife of Anubis and as most know C.T. Tara is madly in love with him and probably sleeping with him. The wife and the mistress face-off! It’s an oldie but NEVER EVER gets played out! The nasty comments didn’t last long. The two seemed to agree that they should be besties…. er, we’re not buying this at all! We’re sure they’re each just playing this frenemy game to sit in wait to kill the other. Who do you have your money on???

Daniel is NOT going to like to hear that Kazzy has given up all hope of Lizzie coming back but it seems that she’s done just that! She was overheard chatting with Fiora (and, really, those two are just two peas in a pod) and when Fiora asked about Lizzie, Kazzy said that she wasn’t holding out much hope that she would be coming back. Aw. Poor Danny. That’s so sad! Well, we know a couple cute, single chicks to hook you up with Danny. Give us a ring! You can have your pick!

O.M.G. Say it ain’t so! We have just about had enough of this! Lil’ Black Book Jaycy looked down right ridiculous according to our sources with a rose up to her nose when she came into the Arena Thursday night. We hear that she couldn’t tell the Girlfriend of the Keeper Who Shall Not Be Mentioned Per His Orders fast enough about how Pslyder spread rose petals all over her bed. Ugh. GAG! This is getting completely ridiculous. The next thing you know she’ll be skipping and making chains of daisies. What happened to the tough heart-breaker that we fell in love with??? THIS MUST STOP!!!

Teeny Tiny, Itty Bitty Wednesday!

The Red Dragon Inn was pretty quiet Wednesday night! However, Lil’ Bit Lirssa was seen tending to what few customers braved the chilly weather. We’re pretty sure that little girl spends more time behind the bar than any tender Head Pussy Panther has on his payroll! He should snatch her up before another bar owner does. She not only is pretty good at the job but she certainly knows a good solid 3/4 of the city. It’s always good to have well-connected bartenders! The kids that serve in the Arena are younger than Lirssa!

Connar and Chief Mischief Maker Eless looked quite cozy and absolutely adorable! We’re so glad that Connar finally got his girl after all these years. He’s been into C.M.M. Eless since we started reporting in RhyDin! This is truly the sort of love match that just makes us feel all warm and gooey inside. They’ve been spotted quite a lot recently, hanging out in the Inn and drinking together laaaate into the night and we hear that he walks her home quite often. However, when their friends ask about the possibility of marriage, C.M.M. Eless still says that it maybe centuries before they wed. What a bummer! They really have to wed in our lifetime. We would be just sick if we missed such an occasion!

The Tour de RhyDin regular fists stage had the Outback absolutely packed with contestants and spectators. Yet, one person stuck out like a sore thumb. Lil’ Black Book Jaycy. Our sources were more than anxious to report back to us that she was seen hugging on and cuddling with a Pslyder action figure doll. We wonder if it was anatomically correct. You know, complete with a teeny tiny, itty bitty — what??? Anyway, we continue to be shocked and dismayed by L.B.B. Jaycy’s behavior. We sure hope he’s drugging her or something because there’s NO WAY our Jaycy would stick with one man so long without causing trouble. This is crap!

Speaking of crap, it seems that Joey and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan are sort of serious about… well, at least about calling the other their “girlfriend”. Again, who knows exactly what that word means in their worlds??? Joey was overheard introducing S.P.G. Teagan to Duci as her girlfriend. We hear that S.P.G. Teagan seems quite interested in Joey’s new friend. Yeah, we bet she was. All it takes to keep S.P.G. Teagan’s attention is a vagina. Seriously, those two girls need to find significant others who are grounded and… well, have at least a little bit of moral backbone. We don’t think they’re all that bad. Just seriously misguided.

Much to the dismay of Sartan’s best friend, Nova, and his wife, Rory, he did go through with his challenge against Dizzy for the right to hold Icedancer! It seemed that no amount of warnings about the trouble those opals could cause from Speedster Nova could deter Smokin’ Sartan. We are curious about Smokin’ Sartan’s choice for opals to go after since he picked the very same Opal that Nova has so much history with. In fact, Speedster Nova was the first holder of Icedancer and it allegedly drove his ex-wife bonkers. Some here at the Den of Gossip would contend that Speedster Nova drove his ex-wife bonkers… but the important part is that Speedster Nova contends that it was the opal. We have to wonder if Speedster Nova’s a little pissed. It’s one thing to ignore his warnings but to thumb his nose at the warnings by going after the same opal that Nova has so much history with??? That just seems a little wrong.

Smokin’ Sartan was able to best Dizzy and earned the right to hold Icedancer. We sure hope for his sake that Speedster Nova was being overly cautious. Congratulations, Smokin’ Sartan!

What Passes For A Romance Expert Sunday!

Lil’ Boy Blue Locke was seen in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday night which means that we got our first piece of news on Ballerina Katarina’s recovery from her surgery! Doc Eva was overheard asking about it and Locke told her that Ballerina Katarina is up and moving around but a bit “gimpy” still. We’re glad to hear that she’s on her feet at least! Manly Mason was there as well and had a conversation with Lil’ Boy Blue Locke about how to spice up his dinners with Ballerina Katarina since he cannot eat hot food. We hear that Manly Mason had some good ideas and was even trying to suggest some more… romantic option. We’re a little bit disturbed that Manly Mason is considered an expert on romance in this city!

We hear that L.B.B. Locke got a little anxious later when Juliane came in and made a reference about him marrying her cousin. He was quick to say that he and Ballerina Katarina were not engaged. Reeeeaaally? You’re going to shack up with the girl and not make her your wife??? Not cool, L.B.B. Locke! Not at all cool! We’re not entirely sure L.B.B. Locke appreciates what an amazing woman he’s landed. Maybe Head of the Fam Johnny should kick his ass after all! The awkward moment was easily defused when Lil’ Bit Lirssa brought up the subject of Juliane’s new gallery which L.B.B. Locke showed a great deal of interest in. L.B.B. Lirssa saves the day again!

Regular Fight Night dueling as well as a Fists’ MegaBrawl brought quite the crowd into the Annex Sunday night. We hear that surprisingly enough even the storied (and half-retired) duelists, Amal and Xeno, were on hand to represent their team in the brawl. We hear that the Brawl was so insane that it was difficult to tell who was doing what to whom. Quite the spectacle! It proceeded laaaaate into the night and we hear that EVERYBODY ended up pretty beat up. And there’s still two more of them!

Lil’ Black Book Jaycy showed up to get in some regular dueling dressed in a pretty formal gown. We hear that she bailed on the wedding that was ongoing and was in quite the pissy little mood. Maybe she realized just how close to marriage she and Pslyder now are and it scared the living dickens out of her. We hope to God that the realization about the path that she’s on finally dawned in her dull little head. Come on, L.B.B. Jaycy! Don’t ruin the amazing reputation that you have made for yourself by sticking with one guy! There’s still half of RhyDin left for you to seduce and bed! We miss you snapping hearts in two and stomping on them with your heels!
