Off With The Hair Thursday!

A busy Thursday night around town, particularly in the Red Dragon Inn, made up for a slow week of gossip! The night started off on an odd note as Lang seemed to have somehow trapped Den Mama Icer in a playpen with one of her hatchlings. Honestly, we have no idea which one. Her entire brood is just one giant blur to us. Anyway, D.M. Icer was NOT pleased but, as usual, the super self-involved Lang cared little for anything but his own amusement. We hear that he left her in there for several hours before returning her to her normal size and letting her out of the playpen. Niiiice. With all the family she’s got, it’s best not to mess with her. This isn’t going to end will for Lang.

The World’s Hottest Tender Tucker was still acting incredibly…. well, off! One of the Taneths went to give T.W.H.T. Tucker a nice long hug only to be GROPED! No lie! We hear that when she asked him if he missed her, he pulled her in closer and said “Can’t you tell?” UGH! Say it ain’t so! That’s disgusting. When did our strong, silent T.W.H.T. Tucker become a creepy old man??? Thankfully, Our Darling Taneth was able to wiggle her way free before he was able to make her more uncomfortable. That’s ridiculous!

Things didn’t get any better from there. T.W.H.T. Tucker had ANOTHER argument with Serena (isn’t that like three weeks in a row that their shift has ended in a fight?) and then PUNCHED Brale Brother Reap. We hear that he punched Reap so hard that he knocked him off his stool and that B.B. Reap actually spit out a TOOTH! Mad Cow Kazzy, Our Eve, and Lilli were on hand to make sure he was okay and collect his tooth and T.W.H.T. Tucker decided it was best to storm out. We would say that we bet B.B. Reap was PISSED but we bet he was actually sort of grateful. Can you imagine any other way that B.B. Reap would find to get three hot women tending to him???

OMG! WE TOLD YOU! We hear that Aja was seen with her ex, Padriq, Thursday night! Who is Padriq??? The HOTTEST Kidd brother…. Okay, okay. The ONLY HAWT Kidd brother! The pair had a loooong intimate chat. We hear that they both looked really into one another. THEN HE KISSED HER! No lie! Did we call it or did we call it??? This is a reunion we’ve seen in the works for MONTHS! However, we sure hope that they take it nice and slow. They rushed head first into it last time and we hope Padriq saw his mistake. Rushing too far too quickly can only scare your partner off! Take your time! Enjoy it! And congratulations to the pair of you for re-discovering love!

Then the night took a really crazy turn….

Sullen Sal stormed in from the Arena all pissed off and Crazy Train Tara had to clean the blood off his face and calm him down. C.T. Tara acting motherly is just a bit too freaky for us. Just as the situation seemed to be settling, Anubis decided to show up! Yep! It goes from a bad night to an absolutely insane night from here. Anubis demanded Bekah dance for him as he cuddled C.T. Tara which led to Lucky Lawyer Lucien IMMEDIATELY throwing a punch at Anubis. He didn’t even give Bekah a chance to refuse. He just lashed out at Anubis! The two just totally start absolutely BRAWLING in the middle of the Inn. Brale Brother Reap who never seems to miss a good bar fight jumped into the fray as well and for a while it seemed like they’d really lay a beating on Anubis.

Unfortunately for Reap, Dave decided to SHOT HIM IN HIS LEG and as Brale Brother Reap was dealing with the initial shock of being shot in the middle of the Inn, Dave pistol whipped him. B.B. Reap went down in a heap. Heh. That rhymes. Even Charna got a blow on Anubis! We hear that she packs a pretty mean punch with a shovel! C.T. Tara used the confusion as an opportunity to grab Bekah by the hair and threaten to kill her… which then brought Sal into the fight. As he and C.T. Tara beat on each other, Bekah CUT OFF HER OWN HAIR to get away from C.T. Tara.

Eventually, Anubis and C.T. Tara left the scene of the crime, leaving a lot of destruction and mayhem in their wake. This whole event is so crazy that we don’t even have to add our own commentary to it to make it sensational! WOW!

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.

Queen of Saturday!

We here at the Den of Gossip feel there is great gossip potential in Lilli. Yet, we’re ashamed to say that we don’t know much of her dating past or present. We are determined to rectify that! It certainly helps our cause when her family is around, that’s for sure! Saturday night she was seen hanging out with her brother, Brishen, and her brother’s girl, Niamh. Much to Brishen’s dismay, Niamh asked Lilli who was “ploughin’ [her] furrows”. Niiiiiice! We should hire this girl! Unfortunately, Lilli was very vague. She said only that he was rich and handsome and refused to give her brother his name. Could it be Zev? She has been spotted with him on multiple occasions. Of note as well is that Brishen advised his sister that it might just be time that he buy a ring to place on Niamh’s hand. Uh… you think???

Awesome Alain was seen hand-in-hand with an old “friend” (and we do use that word loosely) of ours, Sophie Rhovnik. Rumor has it that the pair have been spending quite some time together since she arrived in town. They have similar business interests which has some worried and some intrigued by the possible match. We hear that there’s already a push from some for them to marry to create a powerful merger of families which is exactly what has the rest worried. We still seriously doubt that Awesome Alain even understands the concept of settling down.

How adorable! It seems that Awful Ali, The Many Faces of Fio, Manly Mason, and Doc Eva are bonding over a common love for Lil’ Bit Lirssa! Those two couples seem like they would make such an interesting double date, don’t they??? T.M.F.O. Fio invited Manly Mason and Doc Eva over for an evening much to L.B. Lirssa’s delight. Interestingly enough, we feel like the pair of them probably have a lot in common… more than just L.B. Lirssa. We could totally see this turning into an excellent friendship!

So much for all you naysayers trying to tell us that Dean is a good guy and really is in love with his girlfriend, Quinn. There’s no denying he was seen at the bar drinking and having a very intimate conversation with a lovely blonde elf named Susan. Our sources swear up and down that they’ve never seen him open up to his girlfriend the way he was opening up to this Susan chick. Iiiinteresting! Word has it that Quinn did make her way in later and met Susan. Quinn was gracious (or naive) as always. We just don’t trust this guy.

Our sources insist that they spot Sylvia in a ring in the Arena Saturday night while Guill was calling. We just didn’t believe them so Intern Hot to Trot checked the official dueling standings and… what do you know??? She is indeed listed on the standings! We have to admit that we’re a little thrilled about this! The Queen of Class Sylvia with a sword in her hand taking on the big boys of the Arena??? It’s kind of HAWT! We’d love to lay eyes on it ourselves. Did anybody else catch this???

Chryrie hasn’t died! We were starting to hear some unsubstantiated rumors that the reason Chryrie hadn’t been around was that she had been killed and that Krazy Kitty and Psycho Skid were keeping it a secret until they could find her murderer. It seems those were nothing but LIES! Chryrie was seen looking quite alive in the Arena, watching the duels and enjoying the company. Psycho Skid seemed quite pleased to see that she was out in public and laid quite the series of kisses on her. Even Sullen Sal got in on the joy. Chryrie covered him in dust from her wings and he spent some time… licking it off of himself. That boy is just damn strange. There are no other words for it.

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!

While He Was Down Sunday!

Oh, Lord! What would we do without Brale Brother Reap to entertain us??? He certainly seems to be attracting quite a little following as of late. We have no idea what the name of the girl who was hitting on him Sunday night was but this one certainly seemed to be feeling B.B. Reap! We hear that at one point they were talking about bull riding and she said that she could last longer on a bull than he could. B.B. Reap’s response? “You think so? Pretty good at wrapping your legs around things without getting bucked off, eh?” OMG! We. Die. We hear that Nigel joined in on the mocking too. But as is usual with the easy chicks of this town even after the girl realized they were making fun of her, she was still into B.B. Reap.

Seriously, women of RhyDin? Seriously?

On a more serious note, our sources report back to us that Awful Ali collapsed in the Inn right in front of poor Lil’ Bit Lirssa! As if that poor girl’s life needed to get more traumatic! A group of people including Nigel, Mac, and some guy named Logan quickly rushed to Ali’s side. The Logan guy actually KICKED ALI IN THE CHEST WHILE HE WAS DOWN! No lie! Now there’s quite a few people in this city who’d like to give Awful Ali a good beating but… kicking him while he’s down??? That’s just WRONG! After only a couple moments, he started coming around much to Lil’ Bit Lirssa’s relief. We hear that The Many Faces of Fio showed up not too long after and Mac told her that Ali’s heart had stopped beating for a while. Crazy. We sure hope he’s okay!

We had heard of the rumors of Zev and Lilli but our sources had yet to catch them together. They didn’t seem to be hiding their relationship at all Sunday night as they sat hand-in-hand by the hearth quite cozy together. We hear that the notoriously private and quiet man was even overheard calling her “my dear” and had his hand alllll over her. Our bet is that the pair is already sleeping together. We’re not so sure about this. We thought that for sure Lilli had her eyes on a certain tender. We’re not tagging Zev and Lilli with a “happily ever after” stamp yet but there’s no denying that there’s a whole lot of chemistry going on there!

Down in the Annex a crowd gathered for Fight Night! Scotty was seen working up the courage to hop into a ring for the first time with his friend, Lil’ Black Book Jaycy, who was showing him the ropes. Scotty was overheard saying that his man, Harold, wasn’t too terribly thrilled about him dueling. Swords is safe enough thank to the ward (unless you’re the sort that the ward doesn’t work on) but Fists…. wow. Another story entirely. Harold did wander in as well to watch his hubby-to-be in a ring. He was seen on the sidelines with a cup of tea in hand, looking uncomfortable with seeing Scotty in a ring at first but gradually he seemed to grow more and more interested in what was going on. We think that Scotty might be hooked!

Evidently we were accused by Anya of spreading some rumor about Merchant Antonio that Crazy Train Tara had overheard. Even Collie defended us by saying it was not the sort of thing that we would say. Considering all the gossip we gather/spread is published, we’re unsure how we can be accused of spreading secret rumors but… whatever. We’re so done hearing of how Anya is using our blog to turn herself into some sort of victim that she won’t be in our blog anymore. Sometimes what is right is more important than increasing readership and, thus, revenue. In this situation, what is right is not feeding that ego.

FLAWLESS Koy and Maria had another face off and we’re STILL not entirely sure what it was about. All we know is that it was about some argument with her husband, MAN-tastic Matt, over a video. The tension was still high but not nearly as high as when the two had almost come to blows several nights before in the Outback. Two Crew members and friends of both women — Overlord Tical and Kheldar — stepped in to ease the tension. Again, it seemed to, unfortunately, do the trick because the tension eased and the women returned to watching the challenge at hand.

Oh, right! There was a challenge! The little fierce muffin, Aya, challenged that Death Lord guy for the right to the barony of New Haven! Unfortunately, Aya who is a very experienced warlord and former baron just didn’t have the goods on that particular night to take down the less experienced baron. We still think it’s ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS that ritzy New Haven is represented in the Arena by the walking undead. We’re just shocked that there hasn’t been a bigger movement among the people that live there to get him thrown out on his ear. Come on, people of New Haven! Do we have to spell it out for you? Put together a monetary prize for the warlord that can bring down the baron! Make it worth their while!

Congratulations, Death Lord…. we guess.
