Relationship Advice Tuesday!

Dean was in the Red Dragon Inn Tuesday night trying to decide what to get his girlfriend Quinn for Valentine’s Day. Riiiight. Because the best place to get advice about what to get your girl for Valentine’s Day is at a bar full of bitter drunks and desperate floozies. We hear that he briefly considered getting Quinn a puppy. We sure hope he doesn’t stick with that idea. You never get a girl something for Valentine’s Day that will cause her work! You get her something shiny and pretty and expensive! Our sources never did pick up on exactly what he had decided because Quinn walked into the room and his planning came to a sudden halt.

We have a feeling that Eleanor is NOT going to like this! Brale Brother Reap was overheard by our sources telling Charna not to tell Eleanor how he got shot! Evidently Nigel has told Eleanor that B.B. Reap accidentally shot himself and B.B. Reap wanted to make sure that Charna would not tell Eleanor otherwise. Charna seemed to question whether or not Eleanor would buy the story and we have to agree with her. How long do they really think they can keep it a secret? Everybody in the city seems to be talking about the Melee in the Inn!

Speaking of people who probably don’t appreciate being talked about behind their backs, we hear that The Many Faces of Fio and Professor Jolyon were seen in a pretty intense looking conversation about Lil’ Bit Lirssa. We have no idea what it was about but we hear that neither looked too pleased or friendly with one another when it ended. In fact, we hear that T.M.F.O. Fio was actually seen storming out shortly after. What have we told you guys about pissing off pregnant ladies? It never ends well.

Oh no! Somebody STOP Playboy Shane from handing out relationship advice. Not only is it a bit odd to hear that he is spewing advice but to hear that he is giving it to his ex-girlfriend??? Crazy! But that’s exactly what our sources reported back to us. We hear that Darcy and Playboy Shane were seen chatting at the bar in the Inn and she acknowledged that sitting scantily clad on men’s laps while drinking heavily makes people think that she’s an easy slut! We’re shocked that she’s just coming to this realization. Of course Playboy Shane’s girlfriend, Scully, came waltzing in wearing a skirt and sandals… in the middle of winter… and immediately started kissing on him even though he was in the middle of talking to Darcy. OMG! Can you scream desperate tramp any louder than that??? Now we know it is Playboy Shane and he has a tendency of switching girlfriends more often than he switches his socks but have a little bit of pride! Don’t throw yourself at your man just because he’s talking to another woman!

The one thing you can always count on in the Outback is opal drama. Those things certainly seem to cause more drama than they’re worth. Smokin’ Sartan and Ms. Wyh Not were seen chatting about Icedancer at length. If you remember correctly Ms. Wyh Not called the match in which Smokin’ Sartan won Icedancer. However what hasn’t been mentioned much in reports of the event is that Ms. Wyh Not was VERY reluctant to hand over the opal. In fact, we hear that she seemed quite attached to it. Our sources tell us that Sartan was overheard telling her Tuesday night that he didn’t appreciate it when she called the opal “her’s” the night of the challenge. Ms. Wyh Not was very apologetic but had no explanation for the odd behavior. Strange!

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!

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!

Papa Ali Monday!

Nigel was heard Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn shooting off about what he’s going to do to the slaver and former Overlord, Anubis. We don’t have any concrete evidence as to why Nigel has issues with Anubis but we are hearing unsubstantiated reports that it could be about Charna. Eleanor told Nigel to watch himself when taking on Anubis as he’s not easily taken down and she didn’t feel that the gun Nigel was flashing was going to do the trick. We tend to agree. Anubis has been a thorn in this city’s side for a lot of years. We seriously doubt that Nigel is going to do the trick all on his lonesome. We wonder how Crazy Train Tara is going to feel when she hears that her good friend Nigel is trying to kill the love of her life???

Really. That Dean guy is more than a little ridiculous. He made quite a show of himself playing air guitar in the middle of the Inn. There were actually women who were eating that crap up too! His girlfriend Quinn continues to hang onto his every word… which we still find utterly insane. Now she’s a bit on the grungy side but there’s a bit of pretty in there somewhere. She could do better. Spade was also digging the performance which isn’t all that shocking. Spade always is into guys that are already taken. Her goal in life seems to be to see how many taken men she can bag. All the more gossip for us!

Could we finally be seeing a crack in the foundation? We admit that Serena and Prof. Jolyon have lasted far longer than we had expected but there definitely seems to be some unrest in that relationship. Serena has been seen looking quite sickly the last month or so which has raised concern with quite a few of her friends including Prof. Jolyon. In fact, we hear that he was trying to convince her to return to his homeland where it seems he thinks her health will be better. She didn’t seem to be having any of it. Iiiiinteresting!

…What?!?!? Our sources CLAIM that they heard a Very Very Very Interesting conversation Monday night between Awful Ali and Lil’ Bit Lirssa in the Outback! It seems it was quite the father-daughter chat and L.B. Lirssa has been overheard calling Awful Ali “papa” several times recently! Considering all the women that Awful Ali is responsible for, this actually really isn’t all that much of a shock to us. In fact, despite his personality flaws, he has proven himself to be quite the fatherly figure. We think he’d make a good dad…. and maybe children of his own might not be too far behind. We hear that L.B. Lirssa made a comment about what Awful Ali’s baby would call him. Could The Many Faces of Fio be pregnant??? We. Must. Know.

Casey Shivblade evidently made an appearance in a dueling venue for the first time in F.O.R.E.V.E.R. and a day! She seemed just the same as always. She spent some time catching up with her old friends, MAN-tastic Matt and FLAWLESS Koy. It seems that she is still married to the famous dueler with the same last name. Later into the night Smokin’ Sartan asked her if there was a chance her hubby might come back out of retirement. We were hoping that perhaps her come back might inspire him to return from retirement as well but Casey didn’t seem to think that was a possibility. Bummer! Well, it’s good to see the cute little ball of cheer back at least!
