Annoyingly Lukewarm: The Week In Review! March 27, 2011
You are lukewarm lately, RhyDin. LUKEWARM. And that is not a good thing!
I want passion! I want screaming matches going down over exes! I want tangos in the Red Dragon Inn! I want some bloody SCANDAL!
It's high time some people learn the way of romance around here, and I think Everett is one to take lessons from. He may not be enormously snazzy with the ladies, but he is one smooth operator with words. Early this week he was spotted catching up with Lirissa and wound up being inadvertently expressive mid-conversation. Not that that surprises us, as the last time we heard extensively about Everett he was winning first place in our poetry contest. You think if I paid him enough he could write a sonnet for a certain Granger babe that I'd like to woo' I mean come on! Aren't all artists starving" I'll buy you burritos for a month! Just make me look romantic!
So normally when someone in RhyDin talks about being chased by a monster, it's a detail that is easily glossed over. But when that someone is Taneth, some serious concern arises! Mind you, I am not as concerned about whether this monster was actually chasing Taneth or whether this monster exists in the first place - rather I am more concerned with the fact that she and Rekah appear to have banded together in some kind of monster-hunting crusade. Or that's why my sources got from the exchange, anyway. Now, I can imagine Rekah's got all her ducks in a row in terms of protection, but I really have to wonder if Taneth is actually being looked after lately. Where is Tormay in all of this" Did I completely miss something"
NEW PEOPLE WATCH! Whether they are actually new is irrelevant. My sources have noticed them, which means that they are suddenly important enough to be recognized as "new." Therefore, they are new. And apparently still green around the edges. It seems some guy named Arlin was seen introducing himself to Rook around the middle of the week, but when he did they apparently kept things strictly polite and professional. At the moment I can't decide whether I think that was very suave or social suicide. In my experience, RhyDin women want HEAT. Eless and Michael" HOT. Anyanka and Victor" HOT. Eva and Mason' HOT. The Ex-Constable Hotstuffs" Scooooorching! Granted I am kind of relieved that Arlin didn't lay it on thick like some complete sleazes do, but Rook strikes me as a strong-willed woman that isn't interested in anything vanilla. Just a humble suggestion, bro: If you want her to bat more than an eyelash, you may have to give her something more than just your life's story and your business card!
Arlin isn't the only one who needs lessons in heat around here. Sorry to rain on bar-obsessed Aja's parade, but Tristan just is not doing it for me. Granted my opinion probably shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but' Who am I kidding" My opinion always matters! And Tristan's complacent touchy-feeling attitude around Aja kind of reminds me a little bit of a brother and sister. Nice image, huh' Now you know how I feel. When the two were seen out this past week, the interaction just seemed blah. I don't expect couples to be tearing each other's clothes off in public, but a little spice every now and then wouldn't hurt anyone!
On the other hand, another pair on my NEW PEOPLE WATCH list seems to have the fiery thing down pat. Sources tell me that some hot young techno-geek named Alexa was spotted in the Inn arguing passionately with a good-looking fellow named Clu (not like the game, apparently). Though their conversation appeared to have started off fairly innocently (and even flirtatiously), Alexa quickly scaled things up and showed the rest of the world that just because she's a little bit of a recluse, it doesn't mean that she's a freaking pushover. My sources were seriously taking bets that night over who won the argument' although it is kind of hard to figure that sort of thing when they have no idea how computers really work. Not that any of that mattered, because though my sources didn't see it, rumor has it the two had a pretty hot make-out sesh in the midst of their squabbling. Now THAT is what I'm talking about, folks! I want passion, dang it!
Remember Julian and Lenuta from aaaaages ago' And by ages, I of course refer only to a few months ago when last they were mentioned (gossip time is to real time like human years are to dog years" or is it the other way around"). Well guess what? They're still alive, and haven't run for the hills just yet. I guess we'll know for certain whether they decide to leave us after Tass streaks again. Because once you've made it through that experience, really nothing else can hold you back in this town. As it turns out, both Julian and Lenuta seem to be acting a little more than polite towards each other these days" and by that, I refer to the fact that every time they're spotted together they seem a heartbeat away from grabbing the silverware and going to town on each other's vital organs. But so far I'm convinced this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Julian has just the right mixture of arrogance and chivalry to flirt successfully, and Lenuta has just enough temper to pull off the high-maintenance thing without coming off as a total rhymes-with-itch. That there is a pair of brains I wouldn't mind picking apart for a few hours. And I'd let them pick me apart, too. Just as long as we can cuddle afterwards.
You will never believe who was seen out and about this week NOT being shot at! Although I do have to question whether Alain ever stops working. I have to give it to a man who likes keeping all aspects of his life running like a well-oiled machine, but when he can't spend some quality time with his beautiful fianc"e Sophie without seeking out new business contacts someone needs to be kidnapped for some forced R&R. Then again, it could just be that hopefuls flock to the Baron in desperation regularly. I admire that he is benevolent and a truly excellent businessman, but seriously. If that guy keeps feeding crumbs to the pigeons, he is going to inevitably be pooped on.
You know what really gets under my skin" Well" aside from the radioactive debris from the most recent nuclear fallout' It's the fact that my old favorites aren't exactly behaving as they usually do. Darcy, when my sources do manage to get a glimpse of her has seemed extraordinarily lackluster lately. Hello' This is a broad who used to make her living off stripping down to a bikini and showing off her jello-coated goodies. Even the glorious Sorcha's magnificent return and some wonderful DeAuster company was partially tainted with Damien's hyper-masculine pouting. Then there's Reap! Is it just me, or has he seemed excessively level-headed lately' Aside from his current preoccupation with dueling, it seems like he's had a lot on his mind, which is both slightly worrisome and slightly surprising. I will say I am seriously starting to like the elf babe that has been hanging around him lately, though, as it seems she has just the right stuff to bring out Reap's more" we'll go with adventurous side.
