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.

Patty Fingers Sunday!

Sometimes no matter how many times our sources explain to us what happened in the Red Dragon Inn on a given night, we just don’t understand. Maybe there are things that are just too crazy for us to wrap our minds around! That was Sunday night. Evidently there was a gingerbread ship full of gingerbread pirates who went on some sort of rampage in the Inn with Darcy, Lang, and Mega Mom Icer as its victims. The ship disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, though, and the patrons of the Red Dragon Inn were safe once more.

Harris bet Lil’ Bit Lirssa a silver that Harper would beat Kendall in a game of darts. We really didn’t think L.B. Lirssa to be the gambling sort but Harris is annoying enough to make anyone turn against their nature in order to shut him up! Kendall won the game of darts and L.B. Lirssa was excited to collect her coins. Perhaps Harper’s game was thrown off a bit because we hear she was admiring John’s new haircut. Well, after the game, Harris decided he needed to shake down Harper to recover the money he lost in his bet. The pair went blow for blow until L.B. Lirssa provided Harris with an ale… which, of course, distracted him from his shake down.

The night of fights didn’t stop there. Manly Mason and Doc Eva really ripped into Serena! Our sources couldn’t exactly tell what the argument was about but during the course of it both Manly Mason and Doc Eva stomped off once. Lil’ Bit Lirssa seemed to play peacemaker which again proves that she’s the most mature person in the Inn on any given night while Playboy Shane seemed to be sticking close to Serena’s side to offer emotional support. Crazy. We have no idea what this was about but you better believe we’re going to keep our ear to the ground!

Juliane was behind the bar and it seems that will be a regular occurrence. We do love Smith tenders! We hear that she caught Playboy Shane’s eye. Although, honestly, it’s not all that hard to catch Playboy Shane’s eye. Anyway, he was overheard asking Darcy about her later in the evening. We hear that Lil’ Bit Lirssa piped in to let Playboy Shane know that Juliane was Johnny’s sister and that if Shane got “all patty fingers with her” that Johnny would clobber Playboy Shane! HILARIOUS! We hear that Marvelous Mira was cracking up.

There were some Fight Night duels happening in the Annex but for the most part attention was focused on the Fists Tag Team Tournament that was taking place for the Tour. Although they only lasted one match, Jake and Napoleon certainly took the reward for best trash talkers! Who would have thought a rat and an orc would be so good at talking smack to their opponents??? They were so good, however, that we’re surprised that Smokin’ Sartan and the Gov MAN-tastic Matt were able to keep it together and beat them!

In the end nobody could match Sartan and MAN-tastic Matt’s skill and the pair took the tag team tournament. Congratulations to both of them!

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.

No Way Saturday!

NO WAY!!! Our sources claim that they spotted our FAVORITE — Den Mama Sid — behind the bar on Saturday night in the Red Dragon Inn! How awesome is that??? WE DIE! We hear that Lil’ Bit Lirssa confessed to using her SOPCoD on an orc and that it broke in half but thankfully mended itself back together. D.M. Sid seemed to get quite a kick out of it and encouraged her to use the titanium cranium crusher that Crazy Train Tara had gotten her some years ago when something a little stronger than the SOPCoD was needed. Uhhh… we’d actually prefer Lil’ Bit Lirssa keep her hands off of anything that has C.T. Tara’s fingerprints all over it.

Really, Playboy Shane??? Now we’ve always thought there was a…. certain unresolved vibe between Playboy Shane and Marvelous Mira so we’re actually pretty unsurprised to hear that they were seen having a private discussion with one another in a back booth in the Inn. The theory here at the Den of Gossip is that Playboy Shane is a little more into Marvelous Mira than she is into him…. but we think that’s just her appeal to Playboy Shane. Every girl in his past has fallen to his feet and immediately worshiped the very ground he walks on. Marvelous Mira, on the other hand, is a tough catch. We actually hope she doesn’t fall for him because he’s so got that guy complex where he gets bored with a girl as soon as he wins her over. We wonder what Cowboy Jake’s got to say about this????

It seems that Lil’ Bit Lirssa has hooked up with RhyDin native Kendall to find a way for some of RhyDin’s orphaned or abandoned youths to make their own way in the city! We can’t think of a more appropriate pair to put such an idea together! They were overheard discussing it with The Many Faces of Fio and Awful Ali Saturday night for quite a while. It seems that the girls want to give a home to the kids while giving them a way to earn that home. They seemed to decide that they need to start a business for the kids to try their hand at while having other smaller jobs for those who aren’t looking for such a permanent home. We hear at the Den of Gossip always need people to deliver our printed flyers out to the coffee shops and businesses around town! The pay is decent! Drop us a line, girls!

Maria and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan were seen in the Arena discussing the program that she’s starting to teach little girls and young women how to duel and how to defend themselves. We definitely like the idea! We’re all about strong women! However, we do have to question the people’s she’s got involved. S.P.G. Teagan? Lil’ Black Book Jaycy? Even Maria herself? Not really the trio we’d be incredibly willing to hand Intern Pumpkin Head over to, you know??? We hear that there’s quite a few more duelists who have supported it in one way or another, though. Ms. Wyh Not and G’naughty G’nort have both donated significantly to the cause. The Baroness Rena and the Wrecking Crew’s Kheldar are both pitching in to help find a location for it. Perhaps it’ll all come together better than we expect! We sure hope so!

Oh no! Somebody should STOP this! We hear that Rowdy Rekah and G’naughty G’nort spent most of Saturday night together and…. well, our sources say that the conversation was awfully friendly. Are we the only ones a little uneasy by the suggestion that G’naughty G’nort and Rowdy Rekah were flirting with another? Our sources said that they wouldn’t go as far as labeling it “flirting” but that the pair definitely raised a couple eyebrows through out the night. We have to wonder what Sullen Sal and Deliciously Sinful Sin think about Rowdy Rekah spending some much time with G’naughty G’nort???

Nutty Tuesday!

Tuesday night was a very quite night around town. We hear that the Red Dragon Inn was pretty empty even with Amber pouring drinks for patrons. Perhaps the cold and snow are keeping everybody at home by their fireplaces.

Well…. not quite everybody.

The bed hopping that goes on in this town never ceases to amaze us! If it wasn’t for just how slutty you all are, we’d all have to find real jobs! London and Russ were seen flashing an awful lot of looks at one another in the Inn and the pair ended the night by leaving together. We hear that there was mention of whose bed to spend the night in but we’ve also heard that London has been seen macking on that slutty little Joey as well. Sex is everybody’s favorite pastime! The more partners, the better, it seems!

Leave it to Crazy Train Tara to end this polite “we’re going to pretend you were just on vacation” dance that everybody has been doing with Darcy. We hear that C.T. Tara and Darcy briefly time chatted about her time with Anubis. Our sources couldn’t catch much of the intimate conversation but it does appear that Darcy is now okay. From what we have been able to gather, it seems that Anubis allowed her brother to purchase her from him. As much as she drives us bonkers, we are glad that Darcy is back and okay. We here at the Den of Gossip know only too well what it’s like to become the target of those who would rather see us enslaved or imprisoned.

As usual, Playboy Shane was surrounded by a bevy of beautiful babes! We hear that he spent a couple hours laaaate into the night flirting it up with Shylah, Chief Mischief Maker Eless, and Marvelous Mira. In fact, there was word that he playfully proposed to Shylah!!! Can you even imagine the trouble the two of them could cause as a couple! We love it! That was far from the end of Playboy Shane’s interesting evening we hear. It also somehow involved his ex-girlfriend, Darcy, under. his. table. Yep, you read that right. Under. His. Table. Now that she’s back, we wouldn’t be all that surprised to see them reunite. There was a LOT of chemistry there!

There was also some action in the basement Arena where Warlord Maria Graziano pressed her right of challenge against the Baron Xanth for the right to the ring representing the Old Temple District! Xanth stood along without a second or lady of honor but Maria came with the Overlord Tical as her second which continued to fuel rumors of some sort of relationship beyond their longtime friendship. We hear that the Warlord dueled in honor of her late friend, Jewell, and that she wore blue in her honor rather than the Wrecking Crew colors. It’s still so sad to us!!!

We hear that during the match, Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was acting awfully odd. She watched the match from the bar with Deliciously Sinful Sin and kept jumping and yelping. When D.S. Sin asked her what was wrong, she said that she was being pinched by someone invisible. Wait, it gets worse.

Anyway, Xanth chose a single format duel which Maria won pretty solidly. She declared the Old Temple District loyal to the Overlord. Congratulations, Baroness Maria!

Now back to the nuttiness at hand! So after the baronial challenge, much of the crowd headed to the Outback for some fighting. The night seemed normal enough until S.P.G. Teagan totally LOST it! She was evidently screaming about invisible people touching her and thrashing around. Smokin’ Sartan had to literally pin her down on the bar while Hot Mess Kelathe did something that evidently fixed the situation. We hear that in the end Kelathe had the be escorted out by Neo and Skid carried S.P.G. Teagan out. Wow. Super crazy. By the way, we here that Lil’ Black Book Jaycy was there when this thing went down but REFUSED to lift a finger to help her ex-girlfriend. Now that’s cold hearted!
