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!

Relationship Advice Tuesday!

Dean was in the Red Dragon Inn Tuesday night trying to decide what to get his girlfriend Quinn for Valentine’s Day. Riiiight. Because the best place to get advice about what to get your girl for Valentine’s Day is at a bar full of bitter drunks and desperate floozies. We hear that he briefly considered getting Quinn a puppy. We sure hope he doesn’t stick with that idea. You never get a girl something for Valentine’s Day that will cause her work! You get her something shiny and pretty and expensive! Our sources never did pick up on exactly what he had decided because Quinn walked into the room and his planning came to a sudden halt.

We have a feeling that Eleanor is NOT going to like this! Brale Brother Reap was overheard by our sources telling Charna not to tell Eleanor how he got shot! Evidently Nigel has told Eleanor that B.B. Reap accidentally shot himself and B.B. Reap wanted to make sure that Charna would not tell Eleanor otherwise. Charna seemed to question whether or not Eleanor would buy the story and we have to agree with her. How long do they really think they can keep it a secret? Everybody in the city seems to be talking about the Melee in the Inn!

Speaking of people who probably don’t appreciate being talked about behind their backs, we hear that The Many Faces of Fio and Professor Jolyon were seen in a pretty intense looking conversation about Lil’ Bit Lirssa. We have no idea what it was about but we hear that neither looked too pleased or friendly with one another when it ended. In fact, we hear that T.M.F.O. Fio was actually seen storming out shortly after. What have we told you guys about pissing off pregnant ladies? It never ends well.

Oh no! Somebody STOP Playboy Shane from handing out relationship advice. Not only is it a bit odd to hear that he is spewing advice but to hear that he is giving it to his ex-girlfriend??? Crazy! But that’s exactly what our sources reported back to us. We hear that Darcy and Playboy Shane were seen chatting at the bar in the Inn and she acknowledged that sitting scantily clad on men’s laps while drinking heavily makes people think that she’s an easy slut! We’re shocked that she’s just coming to this realization. Of course Playboy Shane’s girlfriend, Scully, came waltzing in wearing a skirt and sandals… in the middle of winter… and immediately started kissing on him even though he was in the middle of talking to Darcy. OMG! Can you scream desperate tramp any louder than that??? Now we know it is Playboy Shane and he has a tendency of switching girlfriends more often than he switches his socks but have a little bit of pride! Don’t throw yourself at your man just because he’s talking to another woman!

The one thing you can always count on in the Outback is opal drama. Those things certainly seem to cause more drama than they’re worth. Smokin’ Sartan and Ms. Wyh Not were seen chatting about Icedancer at length. If you remember correctly Ms. Wyh Not called the match in which Smokin’ Sartan won Icedancer. However what hasn’t been mentioned much in reports of the event is that Ms. Wyh Not was VERY reluctant to hand over the opal. In fact, we hear that she seemed quite attached to it. Our sources tell us that Sartan was overheard telling her Tuesday night that he didn’t appreciate it when she called the opal “her’s” the night of the challenge. Ms. Wyh Not was very apologetic but had no explanation for the odd behavior. Strange!

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!!!

Inappropriate Thursday!

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!
