Devilry and Disappearing Acts: The Week in Review! October 2, 2011

According to my editor, I am under strict orders to write no fewer than sixty words plugging the Color Your City Rave and Paint Party that will be taking place next Saturday. So here goes.

Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City Color Your City.

Now that that is out of the way, I can get to gossip.

So apparently Harper gave Ella and Yeardley tasers. Now" I am all for feminine empowerment or self-defense or what have you, and it's not like I'm some total creeper, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that I should be worried regardless. Not that I'm going to be at a higher risk of being tazed because I stalk Ella or Yeardley in dark alleyways (which I don't), but I am a little worried that these things may be abused a little bit. Assuming Harper herself has one, doesn't the slim chance also strike you that she or Yeardley may be pissed off enough at someone one day to accidentally hit the taze button' Give "em a wide berth, folks. Or at the very least, for the love of god don't get their drink orders wrong.

Guess what! Not only was RhyDin's Sexiest Man Alain spotted at the RDI more than once this week, but he was NOT shot at EITHER TIME! It's getting to be some kind of record, isn't it' In fact, his experiences of late have seemed rather tame " that is, if you can count keeping Tara from pulling his clothes off and being teased mercilessly by his secretary (again " be wary of Harper, good sir). Should I be holding my breath, or is a permanent change in the cards for our good Baron' One has to wonder whether this turn of events makes him less appealing to the ladies, though. You gals will have to let me know if I should plan on bumping out of the number one slot next year.

As it turns out, Ella seems to be doing a bit better. In fact she was overheard having playful banter earlier this week with who looked like an old friend. And I must admit, this guy Davian is very smooth. He reportedly spent the night talking about himself and harmlessly hitting on his friend, yet still managed not to look like an egomaniac doing it. It is a talent not many of us possess. Anyway, I'm told that he is some kind of ship captain or sailor or seaman of some kind and has just returned for some much-needed revelry and merrymaking. We plan to keep an eye on that one, for as reliable or harmless as he may seem, we have a strong feeling that he's going to surprise us.

And you women wonder why men are so few and far between in RhyDin. Serving decent blokes like this Joe tea and crackers over a rotting corpse really isn't the best way to get into our pants. And that's saying something, because it really doesn't take much to get into our pants. O.K., O.K. Crackers weren't involved. But as I hear it Tara was seen earlier in the week blasting holes in Panther's walls with a sledgehammer and pulling out dead bodies while simultaneously flirting with this Joe person (among others). Now this is not me knocking Tara. You people know that I'll always have a special place in my heart for her. But that Erin stood indifferently and idly by and made smiles and happy faces at this Joe while someone decomposed in the common room kind of makes me nervous for the opposite sex. Should we expect that all women in RhyDin come with a dose of crazy' It would certainly explain some things.

O.M.G. moment of the week! Audrey and Magenta are engaged! You heard me, folks! Since no professional marriage announcement has been made, I've decided to do the honors for them here. Nevermind that I had to hear about this business from a colleague's (if you can call him that) WIFE and not from Audrey and Magenta themselves, but HEY, I'm over it. Congratulations you two! Just don't be expecting a re-gift from me any time soon, until I at least get some wedding or engagement pictures!

Let me just throw this out there. I like Dyarhk. He's a stand-up guy, and he's very respectful to the ladies " especially the younger ones, like Rhiannon. Which leads me to ask the question again? WHY is he with Rachael" This is nothing to Dyarhk, but' I've said it before and I've said it again: I just don't get what the appeal is. Moreover, I don't understand how a wannabe mef like Rachael can even get away with meffing the way she does. But hey, you know what? To each his own. Just means less competition for me.

Also. Darcy Scotty Sin Kitty Shane Skid Eva Mason Locke.

I put that there just in case these guys have some kind of super technology that notifies them if they have been mentioned in print. COME BACK TO US!

Speaking of Locke, though. Would you believe that Katarina was spotted" It's true! And with Jolyon, no less! Unfortunately we know next to nil about what is going on with the two of them, as nearly the instant they arrived at the Inn they retreated for a booth. Interestingly, my sources tell me that the nature of their interaction seemed strictly business-like. This can mean one of two things: A) Katarina and Jolyon are in cahoots with some professional something-or-other what-have-you; or B) Something happened between the two of them and now they are resigned to stiffly pretending everything is hunky-dory. We do know that Katarina was seen a few days later appearing perfectly jovial as always, but' Curious. Very curious.

DRAMA ALERT! Word has it when Tara was chatting with Lucien on Tuesday (though "chatting" may be a little too kind a word) he really bristled at mention of Bekah. My sources inform me that the co"kroach killa at some point during the night went off about her in not so flattering ways, and Lucien was NOT having any of it. Is there still something there, I wonder" Personally I don't get the Kate/Lucien dynamic. I mean, yeah, the friends-then-lovers thing works for some people, but in my opinion those two just don't seem to have much in common, let alone have a vibe going on. So truth be told, I would not blame Lucien if there was still some residual pining " Bekah was one smokin" hot bundle of high maintenance mischief. But Kate" No idea. Exactly what do those two have in common that I am just not seeing"

I'm torn. I don't know whether to award Harold the comeback of the week or the W.T.F. moment of the week. There was a rare sighting of him in the Inn on Thursday, but only for literally five seconds. What the heck" First Wolvinator, then Sin, and now Harold" If you're back, folks, BE BACK. STOP PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS!

That's all for now, though. Do remember to come to our faaaaabulous rave and paint party next week! You stay sassy, RhyDin!
