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???

Damaged Girl Friday!

Evidently Mr. Howe and Mr. Dewey were seen entering the Red Dragon Inn together Friday night. Rumor has it that nothing ever good happens when the pair are together. We hear that Icer in the very least didn’t seem pleased to see them and seemed to make a point of showing off her nasty set of teeth to the pair. They seemed to be paying a good deal of attention to the child version of Taneth who was playing with a doll. We have a feeling Lucky Lawyer Lucien is NOT going to be happy when he hears about their interest in Taneth.

We are not at all surprised that Darien was seen hitting on a girl at the bar. His dame of choice was that new girl, Alice, and he seemed to be laying it on pretty thick. The great thing about Darien showing playing with girls’ emotions like a cat toys with a mouse before it eats it is that we learn more about them. It turns out that Alice is a former slave. He kept questioning her but it seems that Alice is one of those rare damaged girls who WON’T drop their whole life story within ten minutes of meeting them. Very rare. In fact, she was quick to change the subject with the help of Crazy Train Tara. Darien returned to laying down his “charm” on Collie while Alice wrote a note to Panther for Tara in some book Tara keeps of all the bad stuff that happens in the Inn when Panther is away. We wonder if she keeps track of all the bad stuff that she herself does in the Inn as well!

Maeve and Ethan looked awfully cute together. We hear that they were seen having a quiet date night together over coffee. We really want to continue to hate him but he’s really seemed to clean up his act. The pair have been together for quite a while since “the incident” and Maeve seems perfectly happy. In fact, we hear that she was quite affectionate with Ethan and that he got quite flustered by her attention. We hear that they made quite the quick exit! Cute!

OMG! Sinjin Fai was seen in the Inn! No lie! Well, maybe it is a little lie. According to our sources he was never actually seen IN the Inn but he was seen ON the porch! That’s got to be a step in the right direction, right??? We’d love to know what trouble he’s up to. Our sources couldn’t get any details but he was seen having a heavy and intimate chat with Awful Ali for some time on the porch. We’re betting that right now Ali really needed someone to talk to. He’s got to have a lot on his mind!

What had to be the most understated challenge of the year went down in the Annex early Friday night. Seriously, there was absolutely no drama connected to it. Where is the fun in that??? We need trash talking! Or a gimmick! Or a longtime rivalry! Give us something, kids! Anyway, the Baron Neo met his warlord challenger, Soerl, for the right to the Dockside barony. Neo’s hot mess of a squire/girlfriend, Kelathe, stood as his second and lady of honor. Soerl’s wife, Lydia was his lady of honor. It was a best of three. Soerl won. He went loyal to Tical which makes no sense. Let’s pick off a loyal to… go loyal? Nothing else of interest to note.

Congratulations, Soerl!

Sarah seemed on the defensive Friday night about her “engagement” to Rix. Misty and Sivanna were overheard questioning the speedy relationship and Sarah mentioned that they hadn’t set a date yet for the wedding. And you won’t, sweetheart, but keep dreaming. Sarah also mentioned that she thinks that the reason that nobody knew about their relationship is because they are taking things at their own pace. Heh. That’s pretty funny. He’s STILL yet to introduce her to ANY of his friends. Our bet remains that this is just another girl in a long line of them!

We Die Monday!

Well, well, well. That was certainly an interesting vibe that our sources spotted between Ewan and his wife the Divine Mrs. Storm! They report back to us that the couple seemed awfully cozy and were chatting about how nice it was to have one of the Taneths stay with them for a couple of days. A couple days earlier we’d heard Taneth saying what a great time she’d had there to Lucky Lawyer Lucien. Well, it certainly seemed as if having an additional member to their household made them realize that they… well, want an additional member to their household.

Their conversation was interrupted when a watchman who was present decided that he was going to take baby Taneth to an orphanage since she had no guardians or parents present. Ewan and Storm quickly stepped in to say that Taneth had plenty of guardians. We hear that they eventually took her home with them after a round of harassing from the watchman. We have a feeling that he’s going to be in deep trouble when the Gov MAN-tastic Matt hears about it! Not only are Ewan and Storm one of the city’s more high profile couples but MAN-tastic Matt has a special place in his heart for the Taneths.

You know what the problem with cheating on your man and expecting to have a relationship with the man that you cheated with? The sort of man that will engage in such an affair is never ever trustworthy. Danny was seen hanging out in the Inn laaaate into the night flirting it up with Kendall as well as some pretty brunette. Kendall didn’t seem much interested (probably because he can put together complete sentences) but the mystery brunette definitely did. It seemed pretty hot and heavy between the pair of them. We’ll have to see where it leads!

There were fireworks a plenty in the Outback Monday night! We hear that some girl named Eleanor dared enter the Outback and try to campaign for the Governor position. FLAWLESS Koy was pretty livid but MAN-tastic Matt tried to talk her down by telling her it was neutral territory. We hear that Eleanor told Koy that she didn’t think Matt was a bad governor but that he was getting a bit “old” for the position. OMG! WE DIE! AWESOME! This girl just scored some big brownie points in our book. Not only did she walk into Matt’s building to campaign for his political position but then she called him “old” to his violent wife’s face! Balls of steel!

Rekah and Cassius were spotted together… and we hear that he was actually being rather sweet to her. We weren’t sure that Cassius was capable of such a sentiment. He was overheard by our sources congratulating her on her win and for making the Elite Eight while giving her a hug. She was evidently trying to get him to come watch her in her match against Neo which is set for Thursday night. Really, nobody should miss that match. Who isn’t intrigued by Rekah’s underdog rise through the Madness Tournament??? We didn’t think Cassius would appreciate Rekah’s silliness but he certainly seemed happy with her Monday night!

It seems that Lydia and Soerl are looking for a new place with a bit more room for his kid from his previous marriage and… a new baby??? It certainly seemed that they were discussing just that. Lydia has definitely changed over the years that we’ve been blogging in RhyDin. Maybe, just maybe, she’s ready for this journey. She certainly deserves to finally be completely happy. Our sources tell us that she definitely looked happy when talking about the new house and their life together. Good for her!

McPretty Saturday!

The Red Dragon Inn was pretty quiet Saturday night but a couple regulars were spotted out and about. Harper and John started off the evening with what seemed to be an argument but it didn’t last long. When our sources spotted them a short time after the tense exchange, they seemed quite cozy. We hear he literally knocked a bottle of the table in his hurry to put his hands on her. We’re not so sure if this one is going to work out. John seems like a nice guy but we’re still not convinced he’s not a playboy.

Neo and Archmage McPretty Sivanna were seen in the Inn as well. They were chatting about his clothes returning to their normal color at the stroke of midnight. It’s a little rare for the pair to be seen in the Inn these days other than to pass through to one of the dueling venues but it seems that they were on a mission. They were joined by Alec and Kelathe but this was no double date. They searched out Aolani and then had a rather tense conversation with her. We’re starting to love this girl. It seems she’s just surrounded in drama. Neo seemed to get pretty pissed and Kelathe and Alec tried to convince him it was time to leave. Even Harris jumped in to try to talk some reason into Neo. Eventually, Neo stormed right out of the Inn. We hear that Sivanna was awfully angry at both Kelathe AND Neo. Iiiiinteresting!

We die. Crazy Train Tara was overheard trying to convince Lucky Lawyer Lucien to see a marriage counselor with her! OMG! How many of you would just LOVE to be a fly on the wall in that office??? L.L. Lucien told her that he could not because he had to go on a business trip. Not that he couldn’t because he didn’t love her, didn’t want to marry her, and didn’t want to shorten his lifespan by spending part of it with Tara but that he couldn’t because he had to go on a trip! What?!?! Tara told him that if he refused her again she’d have to duel him to the death. We hear that Lucien was unconcerned. Maybe he’s just grown deaf to having his life threatened by Tara.

Down in the Arena, Mini-Frank Cor was not the least bit happy that people kept making slave jokes about his girl, Delphi, who was present. Harris said that Anubis should let her have a new collar in a color that better represented spring and Teagan warned M-F Cor not to play with slaves because it’s just not worth it. He was promising them the moon to keep them from going on about it. Delphi didn’t say anything but was seen shooting nasty looks at Harris. Doesn’t she know that Harris is immune to nasty looks???

Maybe Harris is one step closer to having every man’s dream — sisters! He was seen spending quite a bit of time flirting it up with Kattria’s sister, Tristanie. We got word that the toad she was carrying around the night before was actually Rath’s dinner which she saved from… well, being dinner. The girls named it and then told Rath that he couldn’t eat anything with a name. Aww! Those two girls are actually growing on us. Enough so for us to warn them to STAY AWAY FROM HARRIS! You will never be the same again. Trust us on that one.

Roderick, the newest Talon of Redwin, was busy making friends Saturday night. He evidently pissed off Aya enough that she held a sword to his throat… outside the ring. You’ve got to be careful of those former/current baroness types. Their tempers are pretty unpredictable and they will cut you. We’re pretty sure none of them are all that emotionally stable. Evidently, Roderick eventually talked himself out of the situation and stuck to hitting on women — like Kalinda — who are actually interested in sleeping with him, not killing him.

There was a mini-DoD girl reunion. Our sources spotted Charlie chatting with FLAWLESS Koy at the bar late into the night. FLAWLESS Koy has been looking not so flawless these days. There’s quite a few rumors swirling about both the stability of her mental state and the health of her marriage. We have to wonder if Charlie has resurfaced because of these rumors. We have to hope that having a DoD girl in town helps Koy out some because things do NOT seem to be going well for her at all these days. And maybe it did because Koy was actually seen smiling and laughing when her husband, MAN-tastic Matt, showed up shortly after.

Stabbed in the Back Friday!

Didn’t we tell you that Riley was in trouble! We also told you that the pretty little Aliss was quite the looker! It seems that Daniel was spotted admiring her beauty Friday night in the Red Dragon Inn. The pair were seen chatting for quite some time and we hear that she had him laughing. They were joined by a pretty little brunette who introduced herself as Mindy that Daniel said was his neighbor. That man is just surrounded by pretty women! Who will he choose? It seems Riley’s not doing herself any favors. Daniel was overheard telling Mindy that he and Riley had an argument about her earlier in the day. The wrong thing to do when you start dating a man is have an argument about his pretty neighbor. We should really start a school on dating for women of this town. Maybe they’d stop ending up with such jerks!

We hear that the adorable little Amber was overheard offering to find one of her friends a date that wasn’t “all grabby hands”. Niiiice. The problem is that most women in this town like their men grabby and rude. The bad boys prosper and the good boys remain single. And then these same ladies can’t figure out why it is that the men they find end up leaving them! Maybe we should hire Amber on as an instructor in this dating school! She certainly seems to have her head on straight!

Ali was seen catching up with his dear friend Kate. They certainly seem pretty… well, intimate friends. We’re not so sure we trust her and we’re not so sure that Fio should either. We don’t believe that her feelings for Ali are completely platonic and she seems like one of those pseudo good girls who will stab you in the back and steal your man as soon as you turn your back. Ali’s not the type to leave a pregnant wife, is he??? No, probably not. However, we wouldn’t put it past him to cheat on his pregnant wife with an old flame. Watch your back, Fio! That’s all we’re saying! We don’t want to see the first marriage that we ever officiated end in a blaze of fire. Seriously. This time we really don’t.

Everett and Glenn were seen chatting together at the bar… which really isn’t all that surprising. We don’t think that they knew each other from when Everett was first in RhyDin but their personalities are so similar that it was only a matter of time before they met and became fast friends. What was surprising is that Juliane was seen with the pair of them! Let’s take two somewhat shy, quiet men and throw in an effervescent, beautiful young woman??? We’re surprised that the two didn’t spend the whole night tripping over their tongues in her presence. She can’t possibly be interested in one of them…. could she???

There was a lot going on in the Annex Friday night! Not only were Madness duels in high swing but there are quite a few people participating in this New Haven Squire tournament. Seriously??? There are people out there who WANT to be the Squire to Deathlord??? This is really just getting too weird. Somebody finally needs to step up and end his reign! It’s not enough that the scary looking guy is the baron of the most upscale district in RhyDin but he’s also starting some sort of creepy real estate business in New Haven. We’re not big on the interest Taneth has taken in him either…. or that he has taken in her. Really, Lucky Lawyer Lucien should put an end to that!

It seems that Kattria survived her sexual encounter of the frequented kind. She was back in the Annex Friday night getting some dueling in and we hear that she had a new face with her. Evidently the young woman’s name is Tristanie and she’s Kattria’s sister. She’s definitely a bit more on the silly side and evidently she had a toad with her. A bit odd but what else would you expect from a sister of Kattria??? The girls were quite the bubbly force and according to their conversation it seems we can expect dueling out of Tristanie in the future!

So it seems this whole Rix/Sarah thing is for real! What in the world??? He was seen hanging out on the couch with her while she called and we’re told that the action was one step from inappropriate behavior for a caller. They were even overheard discussing how he had just moved into her place!  We’re totally confused. We know one thing, though. Rix has been with a lot of girls over the years but he never makes it to the end of an aisle. We’re betting that this wedding never happens.

They weren’t the only surprising pair caught cuddling in the Annex late into the night! We hear that Paradise was seen all snuggled up to… Shadow??? Now there are rumors that Paradise was dating Venom Vinny but we’re sure that it wasn’t exclusive because nothing ever is with Venom Vinny. Therefore, we’re not too terribly surprised to see Paradise with another man but… Shadow??? When did these two start hooking up? She definitely seemed to light up when she saw him and he was definitely feeling her. Iiiiinteresting!
