Mated Sunday!

There was a light crowd in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday hanging out and chatting. Fury is alive and relatively well, it seems. Evidently a bullet to the head isn’t enough to keep that girl down. She was catching up with Fio and Fio made a point of introducing Fury and Cor to her new BFF, Kate. We hear that she called Kate an old “business associate” of Ali’s. Yep, we’re sure that’s what he called their relationship but we’re not buying it! Not for ooooone second! Lirssa and Bekah were also spotted later into the night. All in all, the girls had a relatively quiet night. At least quiet by their standards which means that Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Awful Ali will not have to spend the rest of the week cleaning up new messes.

Down in the Annex, the fourth round of Madness dueling was wrapping up. Maria showed up with both Ria and Myria in tow. Neither looked too terribly thrilled that their sister-in-law/sister was fighting mere days after awaking from some sort of coma. Despite beating Aya to move on, our sources tell us she looked bad enough afterward to draw concern from Kalamere, Teagan, and Tass. She stayed on her feet at least long enough to exit the building escorted again by both Ria and Myria. It seems that whatever it is that is happening or has happened, the Grazianos are closing ranks.

At the very same time, Sylus and Anubis were facing off for another division championship in the Madness Tournament. Evidently Crazy Train Tara was present to root on her man and was overheard by our sources calling Anpu’s opponent “Sylus the Virus”! Love it! She was evidently pretty worried that Anubis would catch some sort of communicable disease from Sylus. We don’t think communicable diseases scare Anubis. After all, have you met his wife???

The minions and others competing in Deathlord’s squire tournament cornered Taneth to try to get her “favor” which will give them bonus points. The quest for Teagan’s favor broke down into an insult match between the head Minion and Kattria. It seems that the head Minion takes offense to, well, a living being serving as squire to Deathlord. We hear that the bickering got pretty heated. We’re not entirely sure what Kattria even wants to be Deathlord’s squire. She seems like the type, though, to do something like that just to irritate Deathlord and his minions.

Teagan and Kalamere have gotten close awfully fast! It’s too bad that Teagan’s not capable of actual, functioning relationships because there’s definitely a good vibe between the pair. Not only do they clearly have chemistry but they seem to have a lot of heart-to-heart chats. We hear that they were having one of those Sunday night as they watched Teagan’s girlfriend, Joey, get a duel in. In fact, our sources claim that the conversation was in fact about Joey! It’s only a matter of time before Kalamere has one of the best nights of his life with those two young ladies! …And we do use the term “ladies” loosely.

Our sources claim that Roran was spotted in a pretty rough and tumble fight in the rings with Roderick laaate into the night. Evidently in the middle of the match Roran said something about how he was lucky that his “mate” was talented with ice to apply to his bruises. Mate??? Did we miss something??? That seems a bit speedy, doesn’t it??? We know that he and Ms. Wyh Not have been getting along fabulously but…. mate??? That word could mean a lot of things so we’re going to try to not jump to any conclusions. What do you think???

Adopt Me Saturday!

So things at the Red Dragon Inn were progressing in a pretty typical sort of pattern early Saturday night. Riley and Dean seemed to be having a pretty inappropriate conversation interaction considering that they’re both taken. Alain had some sort of terse stare down with Howe. Fia and Fio were seen catching up as evidently Fia’s been out of town for a while. Same old, same old, right?

Well, that’s the point where things started to go terribly wrong. Our sources are a little sketchy on the details since they were busy, you know, ducking for their lives! However, from what we can gather, a couple people totally started shooting up the Inn. And, big shock, Alain and Wolvie seemed to be returning fire. We hear that Lang jumped in when it looked like Alain wasn’t going to make it out alive. Even some cat version of Riley was involved. However, her involvement with Alain is sketchy at best. No idea why she’d jump in to try to help him but we’re definitely looking into it. Anyway, the bad guys were killed and the good guys made jokes while tending to their wounds. Just another night in RhyDin!

Panther is NOT going to be happy, though!

Fio and John had some sort of odd interaction late into the night. Our sources tell us it looks like Fio’s getting worse. She evidently was talking to someone that wasn’t there who had a message for John. Now she has imaginary friends??? This woman already claims to be someone’s mother and is pregnant with a baby! Ugh! John seemed pretty freaked out and not the least bit amused by the whole thing. We can’t blame him. Fio is making us so sad.

MAN-tastic Matt was spotted in the Arena trying to get out the dueling vote! We hear that he made a point to stop by the Minx girls and chat with them. Oh, I’m sure he did! What a sacrifice he had to make??? I can’t imagine having to surround myself with three beautiful women and lure them in with a charm! What an awful life Matt leads! There’s evidently a new Minx girl to add to the bunch, by the way. Gwen Minx. She’s evidently a cousin. Cute! Anyway, Cor was calling at the time and made sure to counter with his own campaign messages. Although, while Matt was trying to get them to vote for him, Cor was talking about having all three — Gwen, Tristanie, and Kattria — sleep with him. Classy. And we’ll be that his new girlfriend will thinks so too!

It seemed that the only action that Cor was getting though was from Granny who escaped from the Old Duelers’ Home. We hear that she really had a thing for him and was even seen in his lap. Well, I guess that taste doesn’t improve with age. Kattria got into a ring with Granny which is really just… wrong. Evidently, to make matters worse, she ended the match with a slash and killed Granny… or at least so it seemed. The orderlies from the Old Duelers’ Home carried her and her walker off. Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Lirssa and Taneth were seen hanging out with Lydia for quite a while Saturday night. In fact, the ladies were overheard making plans for baby Taneth to sleepover one night with Lydia and Soerl to spend some time with Soerl’s daughter. That’ll probably be really good for baby Taneth. We’re surprised she’s lasted so long without getting into some serious troubles. Although, we could say that about all the Taneths, including the original one! It seems we were right about Lydia not being pregnant. Instead, our sources claim that she was discussing adoption at length with Lirssa. How fantastic! This makes us love Lydia even more!

Kalamere might just be in luck! Although, one of his baronesses and regular bonk buddies, Teagan, does seem to be entering into something of a relationship with Joey, there did seem to be hints that he might not be cut off completely. In fact, we hear that both girls were flirting with him Saturday night. Serious score there! Kalamere is just blessed by life. It must be a hard life to be the hottest playboy in the Arena!

A Doll Of A Tuesday!

What would a Tuesday night in the Red Dragon Inn be without Amber??? Like a day without the sun! We hear that Adorable Amber was indeed behind the bar Tuesday night to serve patrons. She was evidently trying to give away the massive amount of chocolate bunnies that were left over from the weekend. We’re actually not sure what’s more dangerous to pump the patrons of the Inn full of — sugar or alcohol! Well, Amber was certainly doing both!

Aolani was there to spread her debauchery. That seems to be her favorite hobby… or maybe it’s a career. We don’t know a whole heck of a lot about the woman after all and, after hearing reports about how she spends her nights, not much would surprise us. She’s got a pretty little groupie named Jenillisa who’s often in tow and was with her playing some sort of drinking game last night. There was also a girl with her named Jessica who was odd as well. But not odd in Jenillisa’s overly sexual sort of way but in the “Mice are my friends!” sort of way. We hear that Harris was among them as well but didn’t get involved in their game, saying that he couldn’t afford having a hangover at his challenge the next day.

We’re not sure if the reason that Kazzy jumps from job to job is because she can’t keep one or because none of them can keep her attention for more than a month! Either way, she was overheard talking to Lil’ Bit Lirssa about her newest gig. It seems that Kazzy is working on the local ballet theater’s newest production. Thankfully, she’s not actually dancing because nobody wants to see that. She’s evidently doing some behind the scenes grunt work. We give it three weeks!

Speaking of Lil’ Bit Lirssa, it seems that The Many Faces of Fio has totally LIED to her about why her classes are suspended. Our sources overheard Lirssa tell Kazzy that Fio says she’s on “Spring Break”. We’re telling you right now that it is NOT going to go over well when Lirssa finds out that not only has Fio suspended her lessons with Prof. Jolyon but that she lied to her about it. Those are going to be some serious fireworks. Fio is about to get one heck of a crash course in parenting!

We hear that Wulfson was spotted on Twilight Island! He’s always good for a line or two in “Overheard Around Town”! He spent the first half of the evening catching up with old friends but we hear that Xanth did tempt him into the ring later in the evening. Some of our sources are suggesting that the MANY time Archmage might be thinking about another attempt at the title at the end of the cycle. Well, he’s got a couple months to brush up on his skills! We know we’d love to see him throw down with Archmage McPretty Sivanna!

Speaking of the Archmage, we hear that Sivanna didn’t know about the multiple Taneths until last night. Seriously??? What rock does this woman live under??? We’re thinking about having our flyers delivered directly to her home every day. That’s just unacceptable!

A small crowd gathered to duke it out in the Outback Tuesday night as well! We hear that Erin was there and seen catching up with Locke and Carley. Erin was evidently impressed by the strides that both of them have taken in the duels in her absence. We have to wonder if they’ve actually surpassed her skill! Erin is looking awfully rusty these days. We’ll have to wait and see if she’s going to make the commitment to a serious comeback.

Crazy Train Tara was seen pulling in a wagon with a toddler sized doll riding in it. Yep. You read that right. Of course, she was talking to the doll, mixing the doll drinks, and generally acting like herself. Well, evidently at some point, Aya got spooked by the doll. We hear that Aya evidently accused it of moving….. and so she took her sword to it. As you can imagine, Tara was pretty beside herself. Thankfully, though, she seemed more interested in whining to Tass than destroying the Outback. Evidently Tara sent Darcy over to talk to Aya and Aya made it pretty darn clear that she has a strong policy against inanimate objects moving, talking, or sipping on Badsiders at the bar. Take note, Barbie! Stay away from the Outback!

Rumor has it that Joey showed up in the Outback after being MIA for some time. She looked a bit tired but well enough. Her friends all seemed glad to see her but nobody was more thrilled than Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan for obvious reasons. We hear that the ladies decided that they had a lot of “catching up to do” and so they left pretty early into the night. We’re just surprised that Kalamere stayed back and didn’t join them on this “catching up”.

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.
