Friend Maker Sunday!

Kalinda sure makes friends easily! ….we’re at a loss as to which punch line to use with that statement so just take a moment to fill in with your own. Or write us with yours and will publish it! Anyway, Kalinda was seen in the Red Dragon Inn Sunday hanging out with a young couple that has been seen in the dueling venues recently. The guy’s name is Jason and he’s seemed to take a real interest in brushing up on his skills in the ring. Not so sure what his chick’s name was but she definitely seemed more interested in some intimate time with Kalinda and her man than she did about the duels. Don’t worry. We’ll find out her name in no time. We know you all like the…. well, sexually free chicks!

Riley, Daniel, and Mindy were overheard discussing a hanami party planned for the opening of the Zen Gardens Building this coming Sunday. We hear that the building boasts a pretty lovely garden on the roof and that’s where the party will be held. We think it’ll be one of the spots to be seen Sunday night. It’s the first party of the season and you know how the citizens of this city start to go a little crazy this time of year! We’re definitely going to try to sneak in a spy or two to check out the event.

While the Inn was a little light on action, the Annex was PACKED for Fight Night!

Finally! We have someone who will speak up and tell Rowdy Rekah that she shouldn’t be with Cassius! Unfortunately for us, it seems that the person is Harris. We really might need to rethink our stance on it if the only one agreeing with us is Harris. We just can’t help it! Everything in us SCREAMS how wrong it is! He was overheard telling Rekah that Cassius was a bad influence but when she asked why, he got distracted. Ugh! Will nobody step up and end this thing???

Speaking of Harris, he’s been busy putting things into motion for his upcoming challenge against Anubis. We hear the thing is going down on Wednesday and, to be perfectly honest, if you’re not there, you’ll totally miss out. This is going to be one of those epic sort of throw downs that people will be talking about for cycles to come. We hear that Harris was convincing Taneth to wear a cheerleader outfit to the match so if nothing else that alone is worth the price of admission! We wonder how Deathlord feels about Harris yanking his “lady”. Deathlord’s not the sort that we’d want to piss off.

Collie was spotted by our sources feeding information on Rix’s newest bride-to-be to Nova and Sartan. The two guys seemed a bit perplexed by Rix’s sudden engagement but not particularly surprised. They also weren’t even bothering to take bets to see if Rix would actually get married. We have a hard time believing that he’s serious too. The whole thing is just way odd. Even Collie said that Sarah was a pretty girl but didn’t think Rix would actually marry her. What do we know about this girl??? And why would she want to marry Rix???

Uh oh. That was the reaction in the Den of Gossip when our sources reported back to us that Kalamere and Crazy Train Tara were seen with their heads together for quite a while Sunday night. Could C.T. Tara be moving in on the baroness’ territory??? We hear that their conversation was kept low and intimate. Whatever it was about we doubt it was good. If you throw together two troublemakers, you’re not likely to get anything but trouble out of the mix!

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.

Gag Us Saturday!

With the party (and chaos) went on in the Marketplace, the Red Dragon Inn was pretty quiet. The same was not true of the Arena which was in full swing for the first weekend of Madness dueling!

Lil’ Black Book Jaycy showed up to call Saturday night and, man, was she cranky! She was barely stringing more than two or three words together at a time. It doesn’t seem as if her poor mood had anything to do with her hunk du jour as Pslyder was in the room dueling and she wasn’t too snappy towards him. In fact, she was overheard praising his moves in a ring and calling him “love”. Yuck. Gag us.

Krazy Kitty showed up in the Arena for the first time in fooooorever. She was seen chatting with Harris but made a point to chat with a couple other friends as well. We have to wonder if showing her face in public had to do something with the rumors that the schedule for the next governor’s election is currently being put together by the independent accounting firm that has been hired to ensure a fair vote! Kitty, the former governor, has made mentions over the past year of possibly running again. It’s going to take a big name to take down Matt. He’s practically made the governor’s office his permanent residence after TWO terms behind the desk!

For what seems like the millionth and one time, Smokin’ Sartan was seen trying to hook up Speedster Nova with Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. We would wonder why he wouldn’t give up on a lost cause if it wasn’t for the fact that we’re 99.99% sure, he continues to do it merely to annoy Nova. Teagan still seems interested but it’ll be a cold day in hell when Teagan turns down a piece of man/woman meat. Teagan went off to duel and flirt with a more willing companion in Kalamere (who will do a baroness before the month is out) while Sartan and Nova went about debating who the better human shield is. And THAT, my loyal readers, is why Nova gets no action.

Evidently Dave and Harris had a not so pleasant interaction. Harris wasn’t looking too pleased when Dave finally walked away. It certainly takes a lot to even mildly irritate Harris so Dave must have some talent. Although, we have a feeling that Harris would be offended for us to say that he was irritated and would deny the charge. We think he’s just desperate to remain the most obnoxious dueler in the Arena. Well, don’t worry, Harris. You’re in a league all your own there!

Teeny Tiny, Itty Bitty Wednesday!

The Red Dragon Inn was pretty quiet Wednesday night! However, Lil’ Bit Lirssa was seen tending to what few customers braved the chilly weather. We’re pretty sure that little girl spends more time behind the bar than any tender Head Pussy Panther has on his payroll! He should snatch her up before another bar owner does. She not only is pretty good at the job but she certainly knows a good solid 3/4 of the city. It’s always good to have well-connected bartenders! The kids that serve in the Arena are younger than Lirssa!

Connar and Chief Mischief Maker Eless looked quite cozy and absolutely adorable! We’re so glad that Connar finally got his girl after all these years. He’s been into C.M.M. Eless since we started reporting in RhyDin! This is truly the sort of love match that just makes us feel all warm and gooey inside. They’ve been spotted quite a lot recently, hanging out in the Inn and drinking together laaaate into the night and we hear that he walks her home quite often. However, when their friends ask about the possibility of marriage, C.M.M. Eless still says that it maybe centuries before they wed. What a bummer! They really have to wed in our lifetime. We would be just sick if we missed such an occasion!

The Tour de RhyDin regular fists stage had the Outback absolutely packed with contestants and spectators. Yet, one person stuck out like a sore thumb. Lil’ Black Book Jaycy. Our sources were more than anxious to report back to us that she was seen hugging on and cuddling with a Pslyder action figure doll. We wonder if it was anatomically correct. You know, complete with a teeny tiny, itty bitty — what??? Anyway, we continue to be shocked and dismayed by L.B.B. Jaycy’s behavior. We sure hope he’s drugging her or something because there’s NO WAY our Jaycy would stick with one man so long without causing trouble. This is crap!

Speaking of crap, it seems that Joey and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan are sort of serious about… well, at least about calling the other their “girlfriend”. Again, who knows exactly what that word means in their worlds??? Joey was overheard introducing S.P.G. Teagan to Duci as her girlfriend. We hear that S.P.G. Teagan seems quite interested in Joey’s new friend. Yeah, we bet she was. All it takes to keep S.P.G. Teagan’s attention is a vagina. Seriously, those two girls need to find significant others who are grounded and… well, have at least a little bit of moral backbone. We don’t think they’re all that bad. Just seriously misguided.

Much to the dismay of Sartan’s best friend, Nova, and his wife, Rory, he did go through with his challenge against Dizzy for the right to hold Icedancer! It seemed that no amount of warnings about the trouble those opals could cause from Speedster Nova could deter Smokin’ Sartan. We are curious about Smokin’ Sartan’s choice for opals to go after since he picked the very same Opal that Nova has so much history with. In fact, Speedster Nova was the first holder of Icedancer and it allegedly drove his ex-wife bonkers. Some here at the Den of Gossip would contend that Speedster Nova drove his ex-wife bonkers… but the important part is that Speedster Nova contends that it was the opal. We have to wonder if Speedster Nova’s a little pissed. It’s one thing to ignore his warnings but to thumb his nose at the warnings by going after the same opal that Nova has so much history with??? That just seems a little wrong.

Smokin’ Sartan was able to best Dizzy and earned the right to hold Icedancer. We sure hope for his sake that Speedster Nova was being overly cautious. Congratulations, Smokin’ Sartan!

CrushBob Tuesday!

That Aaron sure is one clASSy guy! It’s no wonder he’s such good friend with Dean. Tuesday night found the pair of them in the Red Dragon Inn doing what it is that they seem to do — get drunk and hit on loose women. Dean was once again seen with Susan while Aaron had put his sights on a blonde that we hear goes by the name Aila. It seems that Aaron was actually trying to get her drunk before making his move on her. We’re pretty sure he didn’t have to go to so much trouble. This girl was really into his vibe. Where did these two guys come from and why are these girls putty in their hands??? Seriously, have a bit of respect, ladies! Can’t you all see through their bull???

We hear that the Outback was really hopping Tuesday night as some of dueling’s finest came out to get some duels for the Tour in! Napoleon was wearing the yellow jersey to signify his position in the Tour currently when he showed up to bash some heads in under the CrushBob banner. Yeah, we have no idea what that team name means and our sources actually heard teammates Smokin’ Sartan and Speedster Nova expressing confusion over it as well. It’s just further proof that the Gov MAN-tastic Matt has taken one too many blows to the head over the years.

Odd. One of the Taneths told Crazy Train Tara that she didn’t like her. So totally not like Taneth! Tormay is STILL not back so we can only assume that he’s still trying to find the answers to Taneth’s problem. We do miss Our Darling Taneth so! C.T. Tara was not at all offended by Taneth’s remark. In fact, we hear that she responded that most people don’t like her. On the subject of C.T. Tara, we hear that she was utterly petrified of Kheldar for some reason. Odd, isn’t it? Of course, Kheldar is a pretty big guy but when is C.T. Tara afraid of anybody? Particularly the person who is seen as one of the kindest, gentlest duelists out there? That girl is completely bonkers!
