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!

Dumbo Wednesday!

So Allan took a giant leap in our view of him by having a very fair and balanced view of what we do here at the Den of Gossip. We don’t particularly expect everyone to like us but you have to know that if you’re going to act like a moron, we’re going to write about it so don’t blame us if we laugh at you. He really seemed to get that and was relaying it to Bee (Yep, he was seen with her again!) in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night. Dean, of course, didn’t get it and whined and complained. Dean might look good in a pair of jeans but he’s no mental giant. We hear that he even called our blog boring. Then why are you reading it, dumbo??? Dumbo Dean. Actually, that kind of has a nice ring to it. Anyway, we like this Allan and Bee pairing. They look cute together! Let’s see if they have chemistry now!

Who is this slutty Aolani girl and why in the world is she all over Harris??? It’s not just that he’s married but… well, IT’S HARRIS! When did Harris become a ladies’ man all of a sudden??? It’s really starting to freak us out. Harris definitely seems interested but we hear that he’s trying very hard to remain loyal to his wife. He could… oh, I don’t know… STAY AWAY FROM HER! But we all know he won’t. Moths to the flame. Just moths to the flame. Anyway, Aolani in her equally slutty friends gathered for a game of “I Never”. The only one of the group that we recognized was a big boobed blonde named Alice. It seems that they had it out to get Harris drunk for each question was pretty Harris specific. We hear that they definitely got him drunk… and, of course, where there is drunken debauchery in RhyDin Lil’ Black Book Jaycy is sure to show up! She showed up briefly to watch the game and she and Aolani took the opportunity to shovel on the innuendo between the two of them. Le sigh.

A crowd gathered on Twilight Island to watch the match between Guill and Misty go down for the Tower of Air. There wasn’t a whole lot of drama outside of the rings happening. The crowd seemed pretty focused on the match at hand. Misty won the first match, lost the second, but won the third to become the newest keeper. Kelathe and Neo were on hand to congratulate her and we hear that nobody was more surprised by the win than Misty herself. Congatulations, Misty!

The Outback seemed to have a really odd vibe about it last night. Kalamere even commented on it after Teagan (yeah, big surprise — Kal was hanging out with a baroness) started acting strange and headed out with barely a word to anyone. We hear that she even refused Kalamere’s offer to walk her home. It’s definitely not like Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan to decline the opportunity to spend a little bit of alone time with a handsome and famous duelist like Kalamere. It definitely makes us a little curious!

Anyway, we hear that FLAWLESS Koy was not so flawless once again. She was actually seen walking BAREFOOT through the Outback. YUCK! She spent some time sitting on the couch with Kheld who was calling duels before going to Matt’s office. Our sources report back to us that Matt led her out of the Outback a short time later and he seemed a bit concerned over her behavior as well. Anybody know what’s going on with Koy??? We have our sources working double time on it!

Maria seemed to thoroughly tick off Mini-Franker Cor and his new girl, Delphi. It seems that Maria wants Anubis to GIVE HER Delphi as a “present” for Maria’s past and future loyalty. Now Anubis is always on the hunt to keep his past loyal barons and on the look out for future loyal barons…. but giving slaves out as presents??? We’ve heard the Crew quoted saying a lot of ridiculous things but this is certainly up there on the list. M-F Cor and Delphi were none to pleased, particularly when Maria told M-F Cor not to date girls who aren’t smart enough to stay out of the slaver’s way. Anybody else starting to get the feeling that M-F Cor will end up dead at the end of this whole ordeal??? Delphi’s cute and all but she’s not hot enough to die over!

Although, after how Anubis treated Delphi later in the night, we have a feeling that they’ll regret being so quick to get pissed over Maria wanting Delphi to become her maid. We hear that Anubis showed up at his nastiness later in the night.

Cas showed up with Rekah for a bit and they were seen munching on fruit and chatting with Sullen Sal. The whole thing still freaks us out a bit. It’s like if Lucky started dating Taneth… well, we suppose Bekah is that far removed from Taneth. Anyway, it still make us uncomfortable and Sal didn’t seem to be doing ANYTHING to stop it. Gah, Sal’s worthless when it comes to protecting Rekah. We’re left wondering YET AGAIN where in the world is Sinjin Fai???

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???

Expecting Monday!

What do you know? Monday night found Dean and Susan drinking together at the Red Dragon Inn… again. These two are AWFULLY close for being “just friends”. Don’t you agree??? We hear that Lang threatened to try to steal Dean’s girl away from him. At this point we’re at a loss as to whether he means Quinn or Susan. Either way, the comment made Dean a little pissy. Although, we’re not entirely sure that “pissy” is a mood for him or just a general state of being. We do know for a fact that BOTH of those girls can do better. Lots better.

No way! We cannot believe it but evidently it’s true! The Many Faces of Fio was overheard telling Kendall that she and Ali are expecting a baby in August. You’ve GOT to be kidding us. Really, we cannot even IMAGINE what got into Ali’s head. It has to be unplanned, right??? With everything he has to worry about does he really need a kid as well??? Can you imagine Sullen Sal and Deliciously Sinful Sin as uncles??? We really hope that this doesn’t turn into a train wreck because we really want the best for both of them!

Well, the theme of the night wasn’t inappropriate conversations as it was several nights before but when does that ever stop Joey and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan??? The pair are evidently involved in some sort of relationship but were not exactly sure what that means. We’re pretty darn sure that it doesn’t mean that they’re monogamous. Anyway, Joey was overheard Monday night in the Outback asking S.P.G. Teagan whether or not S.P.G. Teagan thought Joey’s boobs were big enough or if she should get bigger ones. Wow. What else can you say to that really??? We know you are all dying to know what S.P.G. Teagan’s response was. She evidently said that she likes Joey’s boobs just the way they are. That’s probably what passes as a sweet comment between the two of them.

Mail Call!

M.F. -

No more Anya requires a party!

..in my hot tub. Yeeaaaah. I’ll bring the whip cream, you bring the chocolate.

Although, I gotta say — I do adore Deathlord. Any guy who sends his undead minions caroling for the pleasure of his citizens — especially in New Haven, of all friggin’ places — is my kinda guy. Even if he does drink goblets of newts.

-S

Dear Sin,

Goblets of newts? Barf.

As for your hot tub, I’m so there.

Franco,

Excuse me for saying so, but your column is a piece of crap. There is a word. It’s called slander. Get your facts straight before printing them or I’ll hunt you down and shove my foot right where the sun don’t shine.

Sincerely,

That Dean Guy

Dear Dean,

There’s a really easy solution for those of you that hate our column. Don’t read it.

As for your foot? Better men than you have tried, sir.

Heyas, Marc.

I thought I’d give you a little insight into my feelings for Psly, since I know you’re wondering why we’re together.

How do I love Pslyder, let me count the ways.

How do I love Psly? Let me count the ways.
I love him with all that I am and ever will be.
I love him with stars in my eyes, for he is heaven to me.
I love him gently for his sweet caress.
I love him passionately for the fire he brings to light.
I love him softly as he holds and protects me through the night.
I love him unconditionally for that is how he loves me.
I love him longingly when it is him I ache to see.
I love him utterly with no secrets I keep.
I love him hard and long and deep.
I love him humbly, for he holds my heart and soul.
I love him joyously, for he makes me whole.
I love him hungrily, for beneath his touch my body is like a slave.
I love him forever, always, even beyond the grave.

Jaycy

Dear Jaycy,

Mr. Franco is so upset that he can’t write this letter himself. He begs you to tell him that this is all a joke and that you haven’t gotten (in his words) “soft” or “sappy”.
