Favorite Thursday!

The Many Faces of Fio certainly seemed in a bad mood Thursday night as she hung out at the bar with her new BFF, Kate. We hear that she was overheard discussing the lack of support that her friends gave her marriage to Ali and it seems that the wound hasn’t healed over. We thought that she was over all of that but she certainly didn’t appear to be. Perhaps it was just a bad hormonal night??? Pregnant women can be pretty unpredictable. After that our sources heard her laying into Prof. Jolyon about something to do with Lil’ Bit Lirssa. Our sources tell us that at the end of the conversation Lil’ Bit Lirssa’s lessons had been suspended. WHAT??? Sure, Lil’ Bit Lirssa is young but she’s been taking care of herself for YEARS! We don’t see Fio’s interference in her life going over very well. Fio’s got a lot to learn about preteen girls. We predict MAJOR fireworks considering Prof. Jolyon has been a constant in Lirssa’s life a lot longer than Fio and Ali have been. If there’s one person in RhyDin that we just wouldn’t want to have a test of wills against, it would be Lirssa.

Riley and that Aolani chick got into it again…. right in front of Riley’s new man, Daniel. Riley wrote us some long winded explanation about why she and Aolani don’t get along but it was vague and we don’t buy it. Considering Riley seemed to throw Thursday night’s fit while Aolani was in the middle of working her assets to flirt with another woman we think jealousy is the real motive. And hold your letters now, Riley, because it doesn’t matter if it is or it isn’t. That’s how it looks and that’s not the image you want throwing around in front of your new guy now, is it??? Men like stable women, not nutcases. If Riley doesn’t get her act together maybe you ladies will have a second shot at this Daniel fellow!

The Arena was busy as the third round of Madness dueling began. Kalamere faced an unfair disadvantage while dueling Jay (who eventually beat Kalamere by a point) because Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was outside the ring moaning Kalamere’s name. That’s got to be more than a little distracting. We hear that her full court press didn’t end there. When Kalamere left the ring she seemed to be on a mission to get him back in bed and make herself his “favorite”. Iiiinteresting. We hear that she’s going to have to work harder to be the apple of Kalamere’s eye. He was seen with Jaycy and Maria chatting later in the evening. Evidently Maria was pissed at Kalamere for some story he leaked and Jaycy was helping to smooth things over. We don’t see Kalamere picking a favorite anytime soon. He seems quite happy playing the ENTIRE field.

Um. Lavender is NOT Neo’s color! Our sources report back to us that he looked less than enthused Thursday night when he was spotted in the Arena in a lavender uniform. Duci and Sivanna were greatly amused. Duci called him “brave” for wearing the color in public and Sivanna seemed to be struggling against laughter. According to Neo, when he woke up Thursday morning he found that all his clothes had been turned lavender. Some sort of April Fool’s joke we suppose??? We here at the Den of Gossip don’t celebrate the holiday. We don’t understand why there should be only one day to celebrate mean-spirited pranks. Our entire lives are a celebration of mean-spirited pranks!

We’ve got to hand it to poor Loxley. Even though he was being hit on by two notorious flirts in Kelathe who he was dueling and Jaycy who was standing outside the ring, he still managed to win the duel by a point. The ladies still didn’t lay off him and were seen blowing him kisses and making suggestive comments. Classy, ladies. Poor kid! There should be laws in this town about those two women keeping their distance from impressionable young teenagers.

Jaycy added a new name to her lil’ black book it seems! She was overheard by more than one person convinced Kattria to come home to “play” with her and Pslyder. OMG! Come on! Our sources have told us that over the past week or so it seems that Kattria has given up on Kalamere being interested in anyone that doesn’t have a barony so she accepted pretty readily. Do any of the women that frequent the Annex have any moral backbone at all??? Another good girl brought down by Jaycy’s ridiculousness! Ugh!

Engagement Crazed Friday!

Maybe it was because of the second round Madness action going on downstairs but the Red Dragon Inn was crazy quiet Friday night. Juliane was behind the bar serving the sparse crowd and Lil’ Bit Lirssa spent some time chatting with her. Our sources tell us that Juliane seemed a bit uneasy about the state of the gallery. She was overheard saying that she wishes it was a bit more busy. Come on, people! We have to support the arts more in this town! It’s ridiculous that sporting venues, like the Arena and Outback, can be packed on a near nightly basis but we can’t get a crowd to enjoy some art. All the interns and I are taking a field trip this week to enjoy some fabulous works by local artists and we encourage you to do the same!

Wow, wow, wow! Doc Eva was seen admiring a rock on Mira’s left ring finger Friday night and Mira confirmed that it is exactly what we were all hoping for! It seems that Cowboy Jake has indeed asked Marvelous Mira to be his wife. How fantastic is that??? We hear that the usual understated and private Mira totally lit up at the mention of the ring and the proposal. She is going to be an absolutely stunning bride! No news on how he proposed or if a date has been set but as soon as we hear, we’ll be sure to pass it on to you all!

In more surprising engagement news, our sources are telling us that Sarah was overheard telling Misty in the Annex Friday night that she and Rix are ENGAGED!?!?! WHAT??? Has anybody ever even spotted them together. Now, sure, Rix does have a reputation of jumping from girl-to-girl like nobody’s business but… engaged??? Did anybody know that Rix is even in town??? We hear that she seemed over the moon excited and was sporting quite the rock. We wonder if Nova and Sartan even know. This is so odd. We’re not entirely sure if she’s some crazy stalker chick who has made this whole thing up in her head or if Rix is really getting that desperate to get girls into bed that he’s now asking them to marry him.

We hear that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan and Maria were overheard discussing how Rowdy Rekah (who was busy beating her Madness opponent, Lil’ Black Book Jaycy… which we’ll go into in more detail in our upcoming article for the Dueling News) has sex with Cassius. The girls’ discussion was a little raunchy even for us so we’re not going to detail it. What was informative from the conversation, however, was that Teagan claims that she’s the one who set this pair up. Booooo, Teagan, boooo! What were you thinking??? There’s just something so inherently wrong about cute, innocent Rekah dating Cas!

The recently reinstated warlord, Sylus, and the Mockery of New Haven (and by “Mockery” we mean Baron and, of course, we mean it in the best sense of the word so keep your minions away from the Den of Gossip), Deathlord, gathered in the Annex to lay it all on the line for the right to be the holder of the barony ring representing New Haven. Deathlord’s minions were out in full force again! Like the two previous challengers, things didn’t go so well for Sylus. Deathlord defended the New Haven barony in two straight duels.

Congratulations, Deathlord… we guess.

P-IMP for Overlord Thursday!

Our sources spotted Wolvie and Aly in the Red Dragon Inn for the first time in FOREVER! Really, it’s been far too long since we were subject to her craziness. This has got to be the longest engagement ever… or did they elope and not tell anyone? Nah! Aly would never do that to us! Anyway, we hear that Lang made some rather choice sexual comments about Aly…. and while Wolvie got grumpy about them he didn’t do ANYTHING! Seriously??? What happened to the days when a guy would knock another guy on his rear for saying something about what sexual positions his girl enjoyed? We hear that they did combine forces to mock Lang out of the Inn. Fine, fine. But either get into a nasty argument with one another, sucker punch a guy for messing with your girl, or get married already!

Are we really supposed to believe that Allan and Bee have no interest in one another beyond friendship??? Really??? You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. Not only have our sources continually spotted them together laughing and bordering on flirtatious since they met but he was seen introducing her to his friends Thursday night. We here that he introduced her to Mack who was quick to kid the couple about getting married. See, even clueless Mack sees it! Speaking of clueless Mack, we hear that she was seen later in the night getting close with Danny. It seems these two aren’t even hiding their attraction to one another anymore. You just can’t trust the men in this town to stay loyal! We hope that Lizzie comes back soon because she WILL go medieval on someone’s ass!

Imp was calling matches in the Arena and somehow managing to be even more obnoxious than usual. It seems that he was pinning pretty much everybody with “I HEART IMP FOR OVERLORD!” pins, including the Overlord’s loyal barons and Wrecking Crew teammates. Yet again, however, nobody took a swing at him despite his antics. One of these days Imp’s going to take a beat down. We’re just not entirely sure who it will be that will eventually snap.

Our sources overheard Sarah asking Kalinda if she wanted to “get [Sarah] warmed up”. We’re pretty sure that more than one jaw in the placed dropped clear to the floor. Then Kalinda was overheard saying that she would inform Imp of their intentions. Oh, we bet that’s some action that the P-Imp would want in on! Evidently the two girls were just talking about a duel, though. Total bummer.

Well, Kalamere has now slept with the easiest baroness of the bunch in Lil’ Black Book Jaycy and it seems he’s now moving to the next of the baroness triumvirate in Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. The pair were seen chatting together for quite a while and the innuendos were fast and furious! Are we the only ones that feel like Kalamere is up to something but just can’t quite figure out what it is??? Is there a political motivation behind why he seems so set on seducing and bedding the baronesses??? Or is he just attracted to women who hold titles in the Arena??? With three very different personalities and three very different looks (a short redhead, a tall blonde, and an average brunette), it’s not like they all fit the same mold. Any ideas???

We were thrilled to see two off-the-wall nut jobs who we haven’t seen in some time in Crazy Train Tara and Sullen Sal! Sullen Sal seemed set on one thing and one thing only for the night — busting heads. Tara, on the other hand, was pretty well occupied with a slave boy who was missing a tongue. Evidently the slave was a gift from Dawn. Yep, you read that right. Dawn. What wife would give her husband’s mistress a present??? If we were Tara we’d be a little nervous that this slave might kill us in our sleep! Tara’s behavior got increasingly odd through out the night as she has the tendency of doing. Sal was seen laying one heck of a kiss on her and at one point Lucky Lawyer Lucien even had to talk her out of killing another patron. Just another day in the life of L.L. Lucien!

Dumbo Wednesday!

So Allan took a giant leap in our view of him by having a very fair and balanced view of what we do here at the Den of Gossip. We don’t particularly expect everyone to like us but you have to know that if you’re going to act like a moron, we’re going to write about it so don’t blame us if we laugh at you. He really seemed to get that and was relaying it to Bee (Yep, he was seen with her again!) in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night. Dean, of course, didn’t get it and whined and complained. Dean might look good in a pair of jeans but he’s no mental giant. We hear that he even called our blog boring. Then why are you reading it, dumbo??? Dumbo Dean. Actually, that kind of has a nice ring to it. Anyway, we like this Allan and Bee pairing. They look cute together! Let’s see if they have chemistry now!

Who is this slutty Aolani girl and why in the world is she all over Harris??? It’s not just that he’s married but… well, IT’S HARRIS! When did Harris become a ladies’ man all of a sudden??? It’s really starting to freak us out. Harris definitely seems interested but we hear that he’s trying very hard to remain loyal to his wife. He could… oh, I don’t know… STAY AWAY FROM HER! But we all know he won’t. Moths to the flame. Just moths to the flame. Anyway, Aolani in her equally slutty friends gathered for a game of “I Never”. The only one of the group that we recognized was a big boobed blonde named Alice. It seems that they had it out to get Harris drunk for each question was pretty Harris specific. We hear that they definitely got him drunk… and, of course, where there is drunken debauchery in RhyDin Lil’ Black Book Jaycy is sure to show up! She showed up briefly to watch the game and she and Aolani took the opportunity to shovel on the innuendo between the two of them. Le sigh.

A crowd gathered on Twilight Island to watch the match between Guill and Misty go down for the Tower of Air. There wasn’t a whole lot of drama outside of the rings happening. The crowd seemed pretty focused on the match at hand. Misty won the first match, lost the second, but won the third to become the newest keeper. Kelathe and Neo were on hand to congratulate her and we hear that nobody was more surprised by the win than Misty herself. Congatulations, Misty!

The Outback seemed to have a really odd vibe about it last night. Kalamere even commented on it after Teagan (yeah, big surprise — Kal was hanging out with a baroness) started acting strange and headed out with barely a word to anyone. We hear that she even refused Kalamere’s offer to walk her home. It’s definitely not like Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan to decline the opportunity to spend a little bit of alone time with a handsome and famous duelist like Kalamere. It definitely makes us a little curious!

Anyway, we hear that FLAWLESS Koy was not so flawless once again. She was actually seen walking BAREFOOT through the Outback. YUCK! She spent some time sitting on the couch with Kheld who was calling duels before going to Matt’s office. Our sources report back to us that Matt led her out of the Outback a short time later and he seemed a bit concerned over her behavior as well. Anybody know what’s going on with Koy??? We have our sources working double time on it!

Maria seemed to thoroughly tick off Mini-Franker Cor and his new girl, Delphi. It seems that Maria wants Anubis to GIVE HER Delphi as a “present” for Maria’s past and future loyalty. Now Anubis is always on the hunt to keep his past loyal barons and on the look out for future loyal barons…. but giving slaves out as presents??? We’ve heard the Crew quoted saying a lot of ridiculous things but this is certainly up there on the list. M-F Cor and Delphi were none to pleased, particularly when Maria told M-F Cor not to date girls who aren’t smart enough to stay out of the slaver’s way. Anybody else starting to get the feeling that M-F Cor will end up dead at the end of this whole ordeal??? Delphi’s cute and all but she’s not hot enough to die over!

Although, after how Anubis treated Delphi later in the night, we have a feeling that they’ll regret being so quick to get pissed over Maria wanting Delphi to become her maid. We hear that Anubis showed up at his nastiness later in the night.

Cas showed up with Rekah for a bit and they were seen munching on fruit and chatting with Sullen Sal. The whole thing still freaks us out a bit. It’s like if Lucky started dating Taneth… well, we suppose Bekah is that far removed from Taneth. Anyway, it still make us uncomfortable and Sal didn’t seem to be doing ANYTHING to stop it. Gah, Sal’s worthless when it comes to protecting Rekah. We’re left wondering YET AGAIN where in the world is Sinjin Fai???

MoonBeryl Sunday!

Fio and Ali were seen being all mushy in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday night! They went through their usual round of “What do you want to eat?” followed by “No, what do YOU want to eat?”. It’s really enough to make the sanest person want to strangle them both for just how sickeningly sweet the pair of them are. We get it! You two love each other! Now get into a huge fight so we can talk behind your backs and wonder if your relationship is on the rocks! Really, that’s much more fun for us here at the Den of Gossip. Anyway, our sources tell us that Fio’s DEFINITELY starting to look pregnant which erases any hope we had that this was all some elaborate prank. Ali is not going to be able to keep his responsibilities down to a minimum it seems. Doesn’t he have enough on his plate? Does he really need a child as well?

There was some sort of relationship drama on going in the Inn most of the night but we don’t know the players at all. Brian showed up and seemed mildly amused by the evening’s entertainment. A very subdued Brian caught up with some friends and had a couple drinks. He certainly doesn’t act like the carefree Brian of old…. but really who could blame him??? He’s had one heck of a year. We only hope that he can focus on his wife and children. They definitely need him to stay strong through this whole mess.

Speaking of somebody that hasn’t been seen around much lately, Maia was seen in the Inn and seemed to be trying to keep a low profile. When someone introduced themselves to her, she was polite but not the least bit friendly. In fact, we hear that she spent the whole night appearing very guarded. We wonder if that whole melee at the St Patrick’s Day Shindig really has shaken her. Rumor has it that she was definitely in the thick of things and there was a lot of carnage. We sure hope that she’s okay.

Collie was seen hanging out with an old friend (whose name our sources were unable to catch) and feeding the kid version of Taneth masses amounts of cookies. We hear that Taneth was pretty well behaved but we’d be well behaved too if somebody just kept putting down cookies in front of us! Anyway, we hear that Darien joined Collie and her friend. There definitely seemed to be some tension between the two men. Our sources got the feeling that this male family friend (who is evidently a friend of Collie’s son-in-law) did not think the whole Darien/Collie thing was a good idea. We agree! She’s a grandmother for crying out loud! She needs a nice stable guy whose been around the block a time or two.

Ballerina Katarina and her cousin Juliane were seen chatting in the Inn late into the night. Those girls stay awfully busy with their individual endeavors. They seemed thrilled to have the opportunity to talk about old times and catch up on each other’s lives. Things seem to be getting awfully serious between Katarina and Locke. We just hope that she doesn’t make the same mistake that Eva has! MAKE THE MAN MARRY YOU! Anyway, the girls were overheard trying to put a plan together to take care of the Smith twins so that Johnny and Sianna could get a little bit of alone time. How sweet are they???

The dueling venues were packed with the last of the first round of Madness duels going on in the Annex and a crowd gathered in the Outback for a Slugfest Tournament to try to win MoonBeryl.

Harris was in the Outback at the start of the tournament but didn’t participate. We have to wonder if he has other plans that involve another opal. Why else would he miss out on the opportunity to take MoonBeryl??? Considering most of the opal holders are friends of his, we’re at a loss at who he would choose to go after. Iiiiiinteresting! He did take the opportunity to try to convince Carley (who was there to participate in the tournament) to leave Cy YET AGAIN! It just doesn’t seem to be getting him anywhere. Carley’s pretty head over heels about this guy.

Jaycy was there calling duels but she also had a conversation with Maria about Kattria. It seems that Jaycy wanted to know why Maria would warn Kattria to stay away from Kalamere. We hear that Maria was pretty pissed and denied the accusation. Jaycy tried to get her to calm down but Maria didn’t seem to be having any of it. She was seen stalking out shortly after the conversation began and Jaycy was left looking none to pleased by how the confrontation went down. We’re still DYING to know what is going on here. Kalamere is just causing TONS of drama among these women and we totally HEART him for it!

The final match for the opal came down to Jake of Red Orc Brewery and Badsider fame against Cutie Carley. Yep, you read that right. CUTIE CARLEY made it through a sixteen person tournament to show up in the final round. The match was VERY quick but that doesn’t mean that Cutie Carley didn’t hold her own. It was over after six rounds with a final score of 5-3 with Jake as the winner. An amazing performance by the little spitfire, though. And a big old hearty CONGRATULATIONS must go out to Jake!

And it seems that he got more than one prize for the night! Not only did he take home the opal but rumor has it that he was seen carrying Lil’ Black Book Jaycy out of the Outback after she promised to help him “celebrate”. OMG! We’re not really sure which one of them to want to slap upside the head. Maybe Jake because he just took home the Arena slut??? Maybe Jaycy because she went home with a half-orc??? Or maybe they just deserve one another! This makes my head ache.

After participating in the tournament, Ms. Wyh Not was seen calling duels in the Annex. She and that Roran fellow seem to still be going strong. He was seen looming behind the couch as she called. We hear that he was, as usual, very attentive to her needs and at the end of the night carried her out. This Roran certainly seems to have swept Wyh right up off her feet! Good for him to notice a real catch when he sees one!

Wow, wow, wow! Kalamere was chatting with Teagan… which wouldn’t be all that unusual considering his love for baronesses… BUT we hear that he was asking to use the kitchen at her baronial manor for the week since he evidently had his removed to put in a pool table. We assume this has something to do with the bet that he lost to Maria in which he has to cook her dinner. Anyway, Teagan let him use the kitchen FOR A PRICE! Evidently Teagan is going to make him challenge. No idea who the challenge has to be issued to but it was about somebody specific. We hear that Teagan was seen jotting down the name for Kalamere. And Kalamere AGREED! OMG! We’re so excited to see if he’s still got it and to see who that challenge has to be issued to!
