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”.

Naughty Friday!

After a pretty quiet week, the Red Dragon Inn was at least a bit busy Friday night. Rumor of these beasts has everybody a little bit antsy and we’re hearing that more than one mage is taking the opportunity to lay low. As many know, the interns and I aren’t exactly without a bit of magic ourselves. We’ve decided to hunker down in the Den of Gossip until this whole thing blows over. Rest assured though, loyal readers! We will never abandon you without gossip!

One of the heroes we were hoping to see hasn’t abandoned the city showed up in the Inn Friday night! We hear that Awesome Alain was seen hanging out catching up with some friends with his girl, Sophie. They were heard discussing the issue only briefly but we’re told both of their companies have been pulling back operations in the city and sending their mages into hiding. Our sources say that after the Shamrock Shindig and the actions of a certain someone in his House, he’s decreasing his presence in the city in part at least to keep the city from turning on them over the incident. If he’d like to keep public opinion in his favor he should find a way to destroy all the beasts! Back to his love life, though, for a minute. We’re starting to get reports that this thing with the Rhovnik girl may not be passing. Her family’s already pushing for marriage so if anybody wants one last shot at him they better do it quickly!

Ethan had a brief conversation with Alain that seemed to leave him a bit off kilter and was later seen in a booth catching up with Doc Eva. He definitely seemed a bit uneasy. Anybody else feel like Ethan’s hiding something again??? He should really just be completely honest because he doesn’t seem like he’s great at hiding stuff. They chatted about their significant others and how happy they are in their relationships (boooooring!) and also addressed Ethan’s brother (so sad!). It was certainly good to see both of them hanging out. It sounds like Ethan’s going to try to spend more time in the city so that he can see Maeve more often. He definitely seems to be putting the effort into making their relationship work. Good for him!

It seemed the night for Eva to catch up with her male friends as she was later seen congratulating Lil’ Boy Blue Locke on his Madness win. Eva seems to have an awful lot of “platonic” male friends. ANYWAY! Locke was in quite the good mood and celebrating his victory over Napoleon as he had been down quite a bit but turned things around to win the match. Don’t let it go too much to your head, Locke. You just beat a rat who likes to have his belly rubbed and will do anything for candy.

Another night, another woman whose life Lucky Lawyer Lucien must fix. The kid version of Taneth was in the Inn munching on apples dipped in peanut butter. Lucky was overheard asking her if she has seen any of the other Taneths recently. She said that she hadn’t but couldn’t narrow down when it was she saw them last. What’s happening to her just gets sadder and sadder! Eventually it’s all got to work out alright…. right???

Crazy Train Tara was spotted for the first time since our return to RhyDin in typical C.T. Tara fashion. Our sources tell us she was wearing some sort of very revealing bikini. She, of course, was her usual self. She evidently was instructing kid Taneth on the finer points of capturing a butterfly and ripping off its wings. Nice. When the cute new girl, Aliss, showed some interest in being nice to kid Taneth, C.T. Tara let her know just how ancient kid Taneth really is. We hear that Aliss was a bit floored by the news. Poor girl. This is a strange town. C.T. Tara didn’t bother cushioning the blow because she was too busy arguing with Collie over which of them was the last to have set the Inn’s kitchen on fire.

Just another insane night in the Red Dragon Inn!

Things got started early in the Annex as dueling kicked off for the night with a challenge! Tormay faced off against the squire of the Old Temple district, Kalinda, for a shot at the Old Market barony! In an odd turn of events, Tormay actually decided to use the one match format to face down Kalinda. She kept her nose to the grindstone but in the end Tormay’s experience was able to bring the match home. So, unfortunately, we’ll have to go another day without an exotic dancer as a baroness! Such a bummer! But congratulations to Tormay!

…uh, does somebody want to tell us at what point Rowdy Rekah and Dawn became friends??? Sin and Sal disappear from public life and all of a sudden Rekah is dating Cas and is besties with Dawn??? Sure, we’ve said in the past that Sin and Sal aren’t exactly the world’s greatest role models but…. PLEASE COME BACK! You guys can’t let this happen to Rekah! Our sources report back that Rekah and Dawn were discussing horses over drinks. We’re completely icked out by this news.

Kalamere was overheard making dinner plans with yet ANOTHER baroness. This time it was Maria who he was showing interest in. It’s only a matter of time before he’s bagged all three baronesses. It’s a bit risky of the former Overlord to set his eyes on the current Overlord’s girl, though, no? We don’t think Tical will be as understanding about Kalamere banging his girlfriend as Pslyder was. After all, Jaycy is sort of community property. On the other hand, maybe Tical is getting used to losing his girlfriend to over the hill duelists. Yep, I went there!

We have a pair of candidates for this year’s most ridiculous newlyweds! Harold and Scotty! After their antics Friday night, they may take the hands-down win! Our sources claim that there was quite the ruckus in the Marketplace and when people began to investigate they saw a pair of young strapping men having sex on the roof of one of the buildings. Yep. You read that right. Our sources tell us that it was, in fact, Harold and Scotty. To follow up their naughty evening, they showed up in the Annex with their clothing in a state of disarray to partake in some violence…. because who needs cuddling when you can beat on people???

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!

Too Late Friday!

Lil’ Bit Lirssa was behind the bar of the Red Dragon Inn Friday night! That little girl works more than most adults we know! She was seen preparing drinks for Manly Mason and Doc Eva as they came in with the remnants of a snowball fight all over their coats. We’re quite sure that Doc Eva was the winner. That girl is FIERCE when you cross her! Speaking of FIERCE, Lil’ Bit Lirssa had a hand that was pretty busted and when the pair questioned her about it, Lil’ Bit Lirssa admitted that she had punched some stranger at the docks for getting grabby with one of her friends. Wow. Doc Eva declared it not broken but we have to admit that we are even more nervous about L.B. Lirssa’s well being now!

Things are proceeding right along with Marvelous Mira and Cowboy Jake. It seems that the pair had a lovely New Year together and spent the end of the evening with warm drinks at the Inn. We hear that Cowboy Jake even mentioned that maybe they could invite her family to spend the winter holidays with them next year at “our place”. WHAT?!?! Now we NOW Cowboy Jake is too traditional to be suggesting that they live together out of wedlock so it seems to us that he’s suggesting that they will be married within a year! HOW FANTASTIC!

Ballerina Katarina was seen catching up with Doc Eva later in the evening. It seems that she and Locke are still going strong. Ballerina Katarina was heard saying that he’s enjoying the snow. He must reeeeaaaally love her to stick it out through the long hot summers here in RhyDin. Either that or he loves fashion that much that he can’t stand leaving the fashion hub that is RhyDin. Maybe it’s a combination of the two.

Laaaaate into the night, our sources found two of the Inn’s resident Cheer Brigade all down in the dumps. Doc Eva, Manly Mason, and Chief Mischief Maker Eless were a bit baffled and concerned when both Serena and Mad Cow Kazzy entered in funks. There was no word about Serena’s but she certainly seemed out of it. M.C. Kazzy’s problems were more clear, though. It seems Lizzie has left town! What a bummer! We hear that M.C. Kazzy was drowning her sorrows with ice cream. Aw. We do hope that Lizzie returns soon. That’s so sad!

It seems that Guill might be rethinking his actions! We hear that he was seen down in the Annex apologizing for the things he has said. Wow! We didn’t think he would budge off his stance but it seems that the criticism from his friends is weighing heavily on him. Aja wasn’t immediately forgiving. We hear that she made it pretty darn clear that she thinks he’s been acting like an ass. We doubt Aja wouldn’t be as angry as she is if it her brother hadn’t been one of the ones that made Guill’s list of dishonorable people. Aja is the biggest defender of the legendary status of her brother’s dueling career. He’s going to have to work hard to win her over.

This should be illegal. Really. We hear that Crazy Train Tara and G’naughty G’nort were seen spending time in the Annex together Friday night, causing trouble. In fact, C.T. Tara even caused a serving boy to faint at one point. We’re highly uncomfortable with this pair being allowed within a hundred yards of one another much less planning and going on adventure together. The city may implode from their combined trouble making potential. Nobody’s going to believe us until it’s too late!

Take a Tour Monday!

An old friend of Marc Franco and several of the other interns walked into the Red Dragon Inn Monday night for a drink. Her name’s Sophie and… well, we typically try not to say bad things about her. We’ve found it safe to stay on her good side. So we’ll just say she was there. It seems that she was quick to catch Deliciously Sinful Sin’s eye… but no matter if you’re male or female as long as you have a tight ass and a long set of legs, you’re likely to catch D.S. Sin’s eye. No shame!

In spite of all that spit fire and the giant blow-up between Elite Eleanor and DIRTY Mish, we knew that they’d end up back between the sheets. They’re certainly not short on passion. We just didn’t think that the pair would have kissed and made up quite so soon. E. Eleanor was spotted back in DIRTY Mish’s lap Monday night as the pair smoked and drank just like the picture of debauchery that they are!

The Outback was pretty hopping Monday night. We hear that Darien, the journalist who is heavy in with the Prop 37 crowd, was spotted checking out the dueling venue! Interesting, no??? Say what you want about him but he certainly has to have some guts to show up in the middle of a crowd that tends to be heavily pro-magic. We hear Pslyder volunteered to give him a “tour” of the Outback which involved a beat down. Darien at least put up a fight but in the end Pslyder was able to pull it out.

Oddly enough, Head of the Fam Johnny was hanging out in the Outback along with Ballerina Katarina! She’s back in town and busy dancing so we haven’t seen much of her lately. It was a thrill to hear that she was out and about! The pair was seen drinking Badsiders and it seems that they had arrived to cheer on Lil’ Boy Blue Lock who was definitely surprised to see his girl and her cousin! B. Katarina and L.B.B. Locke still seem very much in loooooove! Cute!

SLUTtacious Darcy was evidently overheard by our sources apologizing for her behavior to her “mother” Mega Mom Icer. What behavior??? Well, it seems that SLUTtacious Darcy has NOT taken her break-up with Playboy Shane very well. Uh… did she not know WHY we call him Playboy Shane??? Evidently SLUTtacious Darcy told M.M. Icer that she plans on being strong but we’re sure that she’ll beg Playboy Shane to come back to her a good half dozen more times. The boy is TROUBLE! Just wash your hands of him!

It seems Lil’ Bit Lirssa was doing better but there’s still no detailed explanation about what happened to her. We’re hearing vague stories from our sources about a ring exploding which caused the metal to be embedded in the cuts. Odd. She was seen chatting with Real Estate Mogul Rena who was looking a bit down in the dumps. Could the rumors really be true??? We’re just not buying it!
