Good Lay Tuesday!

Tuesday was evidently Free Beer Night in the Red Dragon Inn…. at least according to the tender on duty, Amber! More than one person took her up on the order and Dean, of course, was the first in line. We don’t think Panther will be too terribly thrilled about the free beer thing. Doesn’t he have a hard enough time getting people to pay their tabs??? Does he really need his tenders handing out free booze too??? We can’t really hard on Adorable Amber too much because she’s just so darn…. ADORABLE! She was also talking to Duci about having a karaoke night. Ugh. We’ll have to pay our sources hazard pay that night!

Shane was on hand as well for the first time in quite a while! We’re not so sure where he’s been hiding but as usual the ladies frequenting the Inn were THRILLED to see him. Shane certainly seems to LOVE the scenery of the Inn. He and the female Shane spent some time flirting it up and he actually walked out with her. Sure, sure, they’re both taken but when has that ever stopped anybody in RhyDin from doing something naughty???

Crazy Train Tara was overheard talking about sleeping with Veighn. In fact, she told Riley that he was a good lay. Well, there’s an unholy union if ever did we hear of one! It seems that Tara wanted to have sex with him and then smoke a cigarette to see what the hype about pairing the two activities together was all about. We hear that Sami who is always full of such useful knowledge was on hand with her bestie, Duci, to provide Tara with the answers. This was the point in the conversation when Tara took off her clothes. After that our sources were unable to focus on the conversation at all. Wonderful.

High Chance of Ice Monday!

OMG! The Den of Gossip is totally buzzing with the news! Have you heard??? It seems that Issy and Trixie were seen back in the Red Dragon Inn Monday night! NO LIE! Could this mean that the Scath girls are back??? We soooo hope so! We hear that Issy had a run in with Baby Taneth and was more than a little confused by the whole thing. We sure hope somebody fills her in. However, that’ll probably leave her even more confused. We know that the more we hear the more confused we become.

Anyway, welcome home, Issy!

Crazy Train Tara was busy trying to get Horam in bed with her. Horam didn’t seem all that intrigued by the idea. In fact, the pair seem to have some history because Horam seemed to downright dislike Tara. He wasn’t the only one displeased with Tara. It seems that some girl named Vex wasn’t too happy either because Tara had left her cattle prod lying about and someone had decided to use it on Vex. As usual, Tara was clueless to other people’s emotions.

We hear that Tara’s friend, Alice, went a little crazy later into the evening. She was seen batting at something invisible in front of her face and knocked over quite a few bottles of liquor! We bet Panther finds a way of making sure those get on her tab! Evidently she was seen bleeding and screaming by the time her whole little fit was over… And then she just walked out. We always knew there was something a little strange about that girl.

Well, Jade is alive and she’s back and she’s human. But other than that she’s the same old TRASH-tastic Jade. Our sources did say that she was overheard saying that she doesn’t drink much (HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA) and then proceeded to drink enough to kill a small horse. Evidently she’s been staying out of the Inn as of late because she’s been busy spending time with her husband and daughter. She was seen catching up with a bunch of her friends, including Icer and Duci, who seemed absolutely thrilled to see her. As usual, Jade was up to trouble. Our sources say that she was trying to get some guy named Chris to kiss Duci. It seems that Chris did appear interested in Duci but, you know, wanted to actually get to know her. We sure hope Jade didn’t ruin Duci’s chances with this guy because she seemed to be digging him as much as he was digging her.

Anyway, at some point in the night Jade broke into tears and started accusing people of poisoning her. It seems that the human version of Jade is a really annoying drunk. Thankfully, her BFF Rhy had taken a night off from Mommy duties… or at least was doing some mommying of a different sort. She showed up to calm Jade down and escort her back home.

Zev and Lilli were seen having a quiet night together. The pair had some drinks by the hearth and their conversation was quiet and intimate. Definitely seems like the pair of them are still going strong! They’ve been together now for a good couple of months. Things certainly seem like they’re getting serious! We’d never have thought that the pair would make a good match but definitely seems like we were wrong!

Daniel was seen chatting with Mindy about the party the night before. Mindy made mention of how good he and Riley look as a couple. We hear that Daniel was awfully pleased with the compliment. It seems that he’s falling pretty hard for her. Eh. We’re not totally thrilled with Riley. We think Daniel can do better but… whatever. Evidently Mindy met a man at the party that she is interested in but Daniel does NOT seem to like him one bit. We don’t have any details but we’re certainly going to look into it! Riley showed up a little later on and (prepare yourself for this one, guys) she and Mindy we talking about having a girls’ only sleepover. How many guys would love to try to sneak into that???

Down in the Outback, the news that dominated the night was some serious issues between Sartan and several women. In the middle of Sartan telling Harris how odd he found this whole rushed marriage thing between Sarah (who he mentioned he has still not met) and his friend Rix, Joey evidently took offense to him making fun of her newly minted girlfriend, Teagan. It led to Teagan and Sartan exchanging words and eventually afer being egged on for some time by Joey, Teagan threw a punch. It hardly just remained between the two of them. When Teagan made an insulting remark about Sartan’s wife, Collie jumped in to tell her to knock it off. Our sources tell us after putting the whole thing into motion, Joey did eventually lead Teagan away from the confrontation.

Sartan’s night got no better from there, though. Wyh confronted him about some of the rude things that he said to Teagan which led to Sartan accusing Wyh of trying to STEAL Icedancer. If you remember correctly, Wyh called the match in which Sartan won Icedancer and after holding Icedancer during the match was none to pleased about having to turn it over to Sartan at the end. Sartan was overheard saying that she didn’t really care about Teagan and was just using it as an excuse to make a play at Icedancer. Wyh actually ATTACKED Sartan with ice but Icedancer blocked the attack.

At that point, MAN-tastic Matt very wisely threw them out of the Outback. He’s had his building destroyed by fire more than once. Nobody wants to see what an ice show down would do to it! A crazy night! That’s for sure!

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!

Challenge Happy Wednesday!

Have you all entered the poetry contest that the Post and the Den of Gossip are holding yet??? DO SO TODAY!

Also, be sure to vote in the primaries this weekend! The polls are open and we want to know who YOU want to be your governor!

The Many Faces of Fio was in fine crazy fashion Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn… which is to say that she wasn’t Fio at all. We hear that she was chatting away to some big scary looking guy about kittens and bendy straws and the baby in her belly. Ugh. We want this to work out. We want Fio to be a good mother. But how in the world could anybody trust her with a small child??? Having had to raise Intern Pumpkin Head since her parents were unfortunately lost to our cause, we know first hand that taking care of a newborn is seriously hard work! It takes everybody here at the Den of Gossip to work together to take care of her. We’re just not so sure that some of Fio’s personalities are up for the task. Really, Ali, what were you thinking???

Our sources tell us that the Arena was absolutely packed Wednesday night for back-to-back challenges. The first one of the night was Harris pressing challenge against Anubis for the right to the barony of Battlefield Park. We hear that Koy showed up as his lady of honor looking HAWT! It’s good to see that the girl’s back on her game! We have to wonder, however, how the Gov MAN-tastic Matt feels about his wife getting all prettied up for another man. Clearly, he’s not too upset as he served as Harris’ second for the night.

As is typical with Anubis, things couldn’t go off without a hitch. His wife, Dawn, was overheard making some comments to Pslyder that are so wrong that we can’t even post them in this blog! More importantly, Anubis had himself strapped to Harris and the pair had to fight the entire duel with knives while tied together. It definitely made for an interesting evening! Kattria, who we fall deeper and deeper in love with every day, was overheard saying that she didn’t know it was going to be a “hand-fasting”. OMG! We love a witty chick!

Unfortunately for the good of the city, Harris was not able to put Anubis in his place. Anubis won the best of three in two duels and remains the Baron of Battlefield Park. Ugh. Congratulations, Anubis… or whatever.

Wow! Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was overheard telling Kalamere that she is thinking of asking Joey to head home with her to visit her folks. That sounds like a major step! We had no idea they were like that. We’re a little worried for Teagan’s sake. We kind of feel like Joey’s experimenting and isn’t as serious about this relationship as Teagan is. Teagan definitely has a history for falling deeper for the people that she’s sleeping with than they fall for her.

Ugh. Rekah and Dawn were seen together again! This just keeps getting worse and worse. They were chatting with one another like old friends. We hear that there was even discussion of the pair having tea with Crazy Train Tara. Really??? Really??? These are the people that Rekah is going to be allowed to hang out with. Where is her new boyfriend??? Haven’t we already made fun of Mini-Frank Cor enough for failing to tell his girlfriend to STAY AWAY FROM THE SLAVER! Cassius has been around forever! He has no excuse for not warning his girl about the more unsavory elements of the Arena. We remain seriously unhappy.

Guill seems to be on a mission to be the first duelist in history to give each and every one of the sitting barons a defense. He and Deathlord also chose Wednesday night to meet up. Slightly more than twenty-four hours beforehand, Deathlord had changed his alignment to loyal and Overlord Tical had accepted it! It was definitely a surprising move but everyone could see the writing on the wall after that! Tical did step in to intercede on behalf of his newest loyal baron. He lost by a point but it turned out that Deathlord didn’t need the intercession. He came close to a shutout but couldn’t make it happen. He did, however, take an impressive 5-1 win!

Congratulations, Deathlord! New Haven continues to be represented by one heck of a scary dude. We can’t help but laugh.

We’re a little worried still about Deathlord’s fascination with Taneth. She was present to cheer for him as well as Harris. It’s more than a little creepy, isn’t it??? Thankfully, she was distracted from Deathlord and his minions by the presence of Shy who it seems showed up to cheer on Harris. When did Harris get so many friends??? Don’t people know that he’s a world class jerk! But maybe it’s just that compared to Anubis, he’s a really nice guy.
