Wednesday Punch to the Nose!

See! This is why we feel bad for Lucky Lawyer Lucien! It seems that Hilarious Harris was overheard telling Kendall that L.L. Lucien punched him in the nose for throwing a mug at Crazy Train Tara and bonking her upside the head! Hilarious Harris didn?t seem too terribly upset over the incident. In fact, he was heard laughing over how fast C.T. Tara had crashed to the ground. Wow. Don?t worry Hilarious Harris lovers (if those exist out there)! Your boy will be fine. After all, we are talking about the retired famous Fists? dueler. He?s taken quite a few blows to the head over the years! It?s probably why he is the way he is!

Speaking of Hilarious Harris, he was overheard introducing FLAWLESS Koy to his newest employee, a pretty young woman by the name of Rumiko. When asked by FLAWLESS Koy what she did for the man, she responded that she was a musician. WHAT??? Why is Hilarious Harris hiring musicians??? There?s something fishy about that story.

Prof. Jolyon and Awful Ali were seen in a booth with their heads together. This must be in regards to Lil? Bit Lirssa who seems to have gotten herself in a Lil? Bit of trouble since we?ve been away! She?s been staying with Awful Ali and his wife, The Many Faces of Fio, and is still taking classes from Prof. Jolyon we hear. The two men chatted for quite some time quietly as T.M.F.O. Fio had a long discussion with Lil? Bit Lirssa. That little gal is walking trouble! But that?s why you can?t help but love her!

Maybe T.M.F.O. Fio and Awful Ali might finally be getting through to her. We hear that Chief Mischief Maker Eless was overheard inviting Lil? Bit Lirssa over for a sleepover but T.M.F.O. Fio told her that Lil? Bit was grounded! OMG! GROUNDED??? Only T.M.F.O. Fio and Awful Ali would DARE ground Lil? Bit! Love it!

Real Estate Mogul Rena seems to have moved on. She?s been spending a good bit of time in the company of Rico these days. Last night was no exception! She was overheard discussing with him the damages a nasty storm caused in his homeland. It seems that Rico has been assisting in the clean up efforts. R.E.M. Rena was not at all happy when SLUTTACIOUS Teagan came bouncing through the door to flirt it up with her man! We wouldn?t be either!!! That girl is pretty HAWT in an easy sort of way. Better hit that, R.E.M. Rena, before somebody else does!

It seems that later into the night there were squeaking balls of fluff entering the Inn. This is why we hear at the Den of Gossip always say that you should never spend time in the Inn after midnight unless you?re looking for trouble or insanity. One of the two (and sometimes both) will always find you!

Earlier in the evening, SLUTTACIOUS Teagan was seen hanging out in the Outback and received a full on kiss from that reporter, Darien. We didn?t even know that they knew each other! This girl certainly gets around. She didn?t seem too terribly upset by Darien walking up and smooching on her either. We hear it led to a full on make-out session. Right. In. The. Middle. Of. The. Outback. Gag us. That wasn?t the only kiss of the night she got either! We hear that Psycho Skid laid one on her as well! Geeze, does this girl even know where her own lips have been???

Rowdy Rekah was trying to stir up her usual brand of trouble! We hear she was trying to sneak attack her friends most of the night. Sullen Sal saw her before she could pounce on him but Thorne did not. We hear that he was quite surprised by the love pounce from the rowdy one! Then for some reason (our sources had no clue why) Rekah was seen running around trying to put Thorne in the sink.

See, Awful Ali, this is what happens when you pay too much attention to one of your charges and not enough to one of the others. You certainly didn?t expect Sullen Sal to keep an eye on Rowdy Rekah, right???

Wow! FLAWLESS Koy evidently headed to the Outback after her reunion with old friend, Hilarious Harris, and she was not in the same good mood that she?d been in earlier. Who?s to blame??? It seems Darien. She was seen having a conversation with him where it appears he was asking her help on a charity event and she was NOT nice. He evidently was trying to get her to design lingerie for a lingerie show to benefit possibly our foundation or the Riverview Clinic. FLAWLESS Koy didn?t say no but she did say that she didn?t want to have to work on it with him! The Gov Man-tastic Matt quickly swooped in and led his wife into the office before she said anything else to piss off one of RhyDin?s finest journalists (Hahahahaha!).

Lord of Death Friday!

Hilarious Harris certainly seems to be getting awfully close with that pretty Rumiko chick. The pair were seen spending time together at the bar in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night. In fact, they were seen talking quietly to one another with their heads together. Rumiko was also seen showing off her experimental weapons to Harris who, really, doesn?t need anything but his fists to be dangerous. The couple that bonds together over weapons LASTS!!!

Speaking of getting awfully close, Brale Brother Reap and Renna were definitely looking a bit cozy in one another?s company! Renna actually seemed to be flirting with B.B. Reap and at first it seemed B.B. Reap was either clueless or not interested. In fact, our sources say that they overheard him saying that he was there for the ale, not the girls. He?s one sly dawg, though!!! We?re pretty sure he was working her over. If B.B. Reap manages to somehow get Renna into bed, it would be a major accomplishment? one that probably would end up with his untimely demise but a major accomplishment nonetheless!

We?re hearing a lot about this Scotty guy and one of our sources was able to spot him unofficially tending bar laaaate into the night. He was overheard talking about his engagement to a guy named Harold and evidently unofficially tends bar some nights to help raise the capital for their wedding. Cute! We hear that the pair are indeed quite cute together. And we must admit that it?s suddenly odd to hear of boy-on-boy cuteness after so many months of the boy-on-boy raw sexual dirtiness of Deliciously Sinful Sin and Sullen Sal. Good luck to the pair of them!

There was quite the little gathering late into the night at the bar. Our sources saw Chief Mischief Maker Eless and Queen of Class Sylvia hanging out and having some drinks with Manly Mason and Doc Eva. It seems that they all very much approve of the new guy in their friend Real Estate Mogul Rena?s life! She?s evidently been spending quite a bit of time with Rico and her friends are quite happy with the fact and that he seems to have quite a bit of patience with R.E.M. Rena? who you have to admit is awfully unlucky in love!

The Arena was a busy place to be Friday night because quite the crowd came out to witness the challenge match between the Baron of New Haven Tormay Eludes and some scary dude named Deathlord. It?s a bit of a unique challenge situation so let us see if we can explain it. You see, Tormay challenged the Overlord and the Overlord decided to test him to see if he was worthy of challenging (as is the Overlord?s right under the challenge rules). The renegade Baroness Rena wasn?t pleased with the test so she stepped in on Tormay?s behalf to face the tester, Deathlord. Well, Deathlord beath Rena and then he went on to beat Tormay so that the Overlord never had to step into the ring. Well, in this rare circumstance, Deathlord now had the right to issue challenge to Tormay even thought Deathlord wasn?t a warlord and Deathlord wasted no time in doing just that! The pair put off the challenge until Friday night but they met for a clash against the Baron Tormay and Deathlord who wasn?t even on the standings!

Quite the crowd gathered to witness it go down!

The Baron?s squire, Neo, stood as his second to watch the event go down but it was his ex-girlfriend, Slutty Pirate Teagan, who was raising our sources? eyebrows! It seems she was seen chatting it up with Kelathe who has had some tense interactions with another of S.P. Teagan?s exs, Jaycy, in recent days. The enemy of my enemy is my friend??? We can?t help but wonder if they?re busy planning some sort of delicious revenge against Lil? Black Book Jaycy! You can?t go running around RhyDin sleeping with whomever you like without hurting some feelings along the way. The amount of drama in your life is directly proportionate to the number of people you?re sleeping with at any given time. Trust us!

Are there problems in the usually tight Crew??? It certainly seemed like it! Maria and Tical were seen having a pretty heavy chat. Our sources were quite curious about what it may be about. However, considering she decided to declare loyal against a known nemesis of the Crew in the Overlord, we would bet money on that being the contention between the pair. It definitely didn?t look like a happy-go-lucky sort of conversation!

Our Darling Taneth?s actions were causing some eyebrows to be raised, including those of Awful Ali and The Many Faces of Fio (yep, they were indeed seen in the Arena!) and Deliciously Sinful Sin. It seems she was seen watching her hubby duel and was acting quite aggressively and? well, un-Taneth-like. Plus, there was just one of her which seems a bit odd considering she?s been bouncing around RhyDin as twins for quite a while. As for Awful Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio, they didn?t stick around long but we?re still holding out hope that we may see at least Awful Ali in a ring. How hot would that be???

Rowdy Rekah and Sullen Sal were both also on hand cheering on Tormay! We hear that they were overheard planning on how to take out the challenger?s league of supporters and that Rowdy Rekah was seen IN Sullen Sal?s lap. Really??? We think Awful Ali allows her to spend entirely too much time with Sullen Sal!

Baron Tormay took the first duel in a best of three match but his challenger, Deathlord, answered with back-to-back wins of his own. In the end, he emerged victorious and became the new Baron of New Haven! Hahaha! Funny, right??? The most uppity, snotty district in the whole city now has a dude called Deathlord residing in the Swords? Barony mansion. That can?t be good for porperty values!

Congratulations, we guess, Deathlord!

Down in the Annex, regular dueling continued despite the challenge. We hear that Misty was seen sniffling and in tears while crying. No idea what that was about but Sivanna stepped in and consoled her. Then she went to have some terse words with Kelathe. Could Kel have hurt Misty?s feelings??? It?s hard to imagine anyone having an unkind word for Misty!!! We sure hope that Simmerin? Sivanna gave Kel a piece of her mind!

The Other Woman Sunday!

If we?re Awful Ali, we?re kinda hating on Deliciously Sinful Sin. He?s awfully close with The Many Faces of Fio? perhaps just a bit tooooo close, if you know what we?re saying. Our sources spotted them together in the Red Dragon Inn in the early hours of Sunday evening, giving each other quite the cozy little farewell as D.S. Sin went to watch the Warlord Tournament and T.M.F.O. Fio stayed behind. There?s a dynamic to this friendship that?s juuuust a little left of center!

Who was that guy with Madison last night? They seemed awfully chummy! Did she go and fall for somebody while we were away??? We hear that the pair sat and chatted with one of her friends for a while and then he was overheard asking her if she wanted to go get some dinner with him. CUTE! The pair left together hand-in-hand. Wow! We didn?t think Madison had it in her but she seems to have snagged a pretty nice guy. We?re going to keep our eyes out for these two and see if we can catch his name!

Lang was overheard telling TRASH-tastic Jade and Mega Mom Icer that his wife is pregnant! And evidently he?s the father! Crazy, no??? We?re not sure how long demon babies incubate but we sure hope it?s a good long while. The one thing that RhyDin does not need any more of is demon babies. Or dragon hatchlings! But, thankfully, news came in last night that TRASH-tastic Jade was overheard saying that M.M. Icer told her that she would be having no more babies! Thank the Lord! Take care of the ones you?ve got, Mama!

Lil? Bit Lirssa is evidently STILL grounded. Are we the only ones that find this highly amusing??? Seriously, Awful Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio deserve some sort of medal of honor for managing to get L.B. Lirssa to listen! Shy was overheard by our sources asking L.B. Lirssa if Awful Ali and T.M.F.O. Fio knew she was tending bar while grounded and evidently she is allowed to maintain her responsibilities. We just want to pinch her cheeks. She?s too cute all being treated like the kid she is!

Elite Eleanor has not stopped down her path of booze and men that are bad for her. She was AGAIN seen at the bar drinking and flirting with Brale Brother Reap. We are hearing, however, that he has been on his best behavior with her. Relatively speaking, of course. This pairing still leaves us completely at a loss but if he makes Elite Eleanor happy?. Whatever. The good news is that B.B. Reap is juuuust smart enough to know that Elite Eleanor could stab him in the gut before he even put his dukes up!

Later into the night, things got a bit crazy in the Inn as they have a tendency of doing. We?re not sure of the details but we do know that it involved Lil? Bit Lirssa sternly lecturing the patrons, Shy accidently firing off a shotgun in the middle of the Inn, Lucky Lawyer Lucien dragging an unconscious elf out of the Inn by his feet, and Crazy Train Tara running around with a toy robot. We hear that Dean asked L.L. Lucien if this type of thing happens a lot around her and he replied, ?This is RhyDin.? OMG! WE LOVE HIM!

By the way, L.L. Lucien (who?s cadre of irresponsible women that he seems responsible for is rivaled only by Awful Ali) had quite the run in with C.T. Tara. It seems that C.T. Tara was told by Lil? Bit Lirssa that L.L. Lucien has a ?girlfriend?!!! C.T. Tara was PISSED and demanded to know the woman?s name! It?s too bad she doesn?t read our blog or she would have known YESTERDAY already! L.L. Lucien refused to tell her but we have a feeling that C.T. Tara will find out soooooon enough! We just have to wonder what L.L. Lucien is going to do to protect his new gal pal because C.T. Tara will make her regret the day she ever laid eyes on him.

Ms. Monday!

Heh. Things haven?t changed a whole lot in the last couple years, have they? Some of the faces may have changed but Brale Brother Baker is still asking them to pour ale on the breasts. Yeeeep! B.B. Baker was overheard asking Kendall to make him some brale. Evidently Kendall had no idea what brale was and, thankfully, B.B. Baker was too distracted by drinking to go into any details. We think she might be just the type to cut him for the mere suggestion!

B.B. Baker missed his partner in crime, Brale Brother Reap, by minutes evidently! Such a shame! It?s been too long since we?ve seen them in action together. That?s not to say that B.B. Reap isn?t fully capable of causing trouble all on his very own. We hear that he was overheard telling PJ (not the original one but the college girl) that Head Pussy Panther should install ale taps on the other side of the bar, should keep the dragons out of the Inn so they don?t blow snot on patrons, and there should be more breasts. We?re sure that H.P. Panther will get right on that. By the way, is anybody shocked that B.B. Reap became fast friends with a sorority girl???? Yeah, didn?t think so.

SUUUUPER Des two nights in a row??? We?re shocked! Pleasantly, of course! She was seen strolling into the Inn Monday night and greeted Mega Mom Icer. But it was her conversation with B.B. Reap that got our sources some MAJOR news! It seems that SUUUUPER Des is now MS. SUUUUUPER Des. She is no longer married! And you know what newly divorced women are looking for, right??? Sex without strings attached! You go get ?em, girlfriend! B.B. Reap certainly looked interested.

Bekah and Lucky Lawyer Lucien were quite entangled late into the night when she arrived. It?s good to see that Crazy Train Tara hasn?t offed her yet. It?s really just a matter of time. We?re ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that C.T. Tara will not allow this to stand. You don?t date one of C.T. Tara?s men without her written permission. They didn?t last long in the Inn. Not soon after Bekah got there, L.L. Lucien was whisking her off?. and we can only imagine where he was taking her. There?s something entirely yummy about that pair!

Quite the crowd gathered in the Outback for regular dueling as well as for a match between Tass, the holder of Pathfinder, and the creature known as Jiggly! Tass took the first duel but Jiggly took two nail biters after that to secure the title. Old Man Tass put up quite the fight against the odd little creature, though!

Congratulations has to go out to Jiggly even though we?re pretty sure it?s not the reading sort!

Lil? Bit Lirssa was overheard telling Real Estate Mogul Rena that she?s doing much better in her lessons these days? which we?re glad to hear! The pair did some catching up while watching the duels. And they were even joined by Doc Eva and Manly Mason! We hear there?s been some tension between R.E.M. Rena and Doc Eva since we?ve been away. No idea why. But things seemed fine and dandy Monday night as they hung out and watched the duels go down together!

Smokin? Sartan is STILL trying to hook his boys up with no luck! Poor Speedster Nova is going to die a spinster! And Randy Rix is going to become a cat figurine collector! Slutty Pirate Teagan still seems far more interested in Smokin? Sartan than either of his friends and while Smokin? Sartan tried Maria, she didn?t seem all that enthused either. We know that Crew fans are going to accuse us of bringing up old, unfounded rumors and we?re sure that their respective representatives will issue official denials by morning but Maria and Hot Toddy Tical have been seen together a lot lately. Take it for what you will!

FLAWLESS Koy really needs to get a handle on it! What is wrong with that girl??? She was seen trying to fight in a fair amount of pain Monday night and then when she pulled off those padded boots she?s been fighting in, she had cuts all over her feet! And they were bleeding everywhere! Why in the world was this girl in a ring??? Her husband, The Gov MAN-tastic Matt, is going to be livid when he hears about this!!! We hear that Doc Eva went to work and lectured the Un-FLAWLESS looking Koy about fighting in her condition. Ridiculous!

Porno Magazines A Flyin? Wednesday!

Wow. We?re shocked. Elite Eleanor must be feverish or something. We hear that she was spotted behind the bar Wednesday in an unofficial tender sort of a capacity! NO LIE! We?re shocked that she can put her own drink down long enough to make someone else one but she did. She was seen getting drinks for Wolvinator and the Other PJ. We?re left a little confused to be honest with you!

The Other PJ was in rare form Wednesday night. She was seen acting very flirtatious with Wolvinator? which is not the smartest thing in the world. His fiancee will chew you up and use your bones to pick her teeth with. She may be hot but the girl?s just a biiiiiit crazier than most. T.O. PJ also had a smile and a wink for every halfway decent looking guy that stepped into the Inn. Girl is booooy crazy!

It seems Renna is up to trouble again! Wolvinator did not seem pleased as she discussed her plans to? well, we?re not really sure. Turn us all into a singly happy, peaceful race??? It was all a little taxing for our sources but evidently it has something to do with a virus that can change its victim?s DNA! OMG! Wolvinator swore to stand in the way of her plan and even tried to swipe the vial of the virus that she was showing off. Renna?s definitely lost it. She was talking about having Wolvinator?s baby and stealing his DNA. The whole thing seems like one HECK of a mess! Better you than us, Wolvie!

We hear that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan was overheard telling the Wrecking Crew?s Maria and Hot Toddy Tical that she?s more into women than men. That certainly seemed to get our sources? attention! We?re not really sure why she told the pair that since she and Maria aren?t exactly on the best of terms as is clear by the round of insults they exchanged earlier in the week but it?s interesting to note! We suppose this means that you boys need to step up your game around her if you want to have a chance at her!

It seems that Danny has found his way into the Outback! And wherever Danny goes, Lizzie seems to be there too. We hear that he?s doing pretty well in the rings. Now if he could only get Lizzie into the rings, we?d be thrilled! How cute would she be busting up people?s noses??? We hear that they were quite kissy and lovey Wednesday night and rumor has it that they may even be living together now. It?s nice to see this young couple still going strong!

Evidently there was a battle as to who could be the most annoying in the Outback. Now it wasn?t an official battle but that?s the only way we can describe the ridiculousness of G?naughty G?nort, Deliciously Sinful Sin, Sullen Sal, and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan. We?re not sure we?ve ever heard as many sexual puns as were being thrown around that night. It was worse that a bad porn movie! In fact, we hear that later in the evening when Sin was calling there was even porno magazines flying around the Outback!

Oh, MAN-tastic Matt, what has the Outback come to??? Hilarious!

A Dueling Weekend In Review!

Several members of the Wrecking Crew gathered as dueling opened in the Annex on Friday night to watch as their girl, the Baroness of the Old Market District Maria Graziano, faced off against her first challenger in Tormay. There was a bit of tension with Hot Toddy Tical and Ria exchanging words over the way in which Maria handled the challenge. She fought with no Crew colors and had no second. Rumor has it that since she was challenged by Tormay for being a loyal baron to the Overlord (a decision which the Crew was very against), she felt that she had to stand alone at her challenge.

Tormay ? whose mother, the legendary duelist Topaz, was in the crowd to cheer him on ? didn?t take long to do what needed to be done. In the single match format chosen by the baroness, he took a strong lead and didn?t give her the opportunity to come back, gaining himself his third barony!

Congratulations, Tormay!

At least SOMEONE close to Rico gets the Baroness Real Estate Mogul Rena! Capt. Aja was overheard telling her friends that she thinks R.E.M. Rena is more Rico?s speed when compared to his last girlfriend, Shay, who Capt. Aja called a ?train wreck?. Niiiiiice! Capt. Aja went on to say that she thinks R.E.M. Rena is just being careful due to some previous bad breaks in love. We hear that she even called Kid Doc Anya out on this being a personal issue between R.E.M. Rena and Kid Doc Anya, not about Rico at all. Major brownie points, Capt. Aja! That was down right insightful of you!

Deliciously Sinful Sin! Oh, how we love thee! After getting ripped for his personal life the night before by that idiot Darien, Neo got some much needed encouragement about his love life from the one and only D.S. Sin. The boys had a heart-to-heart while trying to slice one another open? but boys will be boys! We hear that D.S. Sin wants to set-up Neo on a date and he has just the girl in mind! We?re dyyyyying to know who it is! The suggestions are flying here at the Den of Gossip. We cannot wait to find out how this plays out!

It seems that all the talk of R.E.M. Rena not being into Rico has gotten to him. He was overheard mentioning to Old Man Tass that there might not be a him and Rena. BOOOOO! Keep the faith! Old Man Tass pressed him on the issue and was even overhead saying that he thinks Rico and R.E.M. Rena are very good together. So do we! Ignore your friends! Rico pretty much told O.M. Tass to keep his nose out of it. That?s advice he should give his own friends as well. But did mention that he plans on discussing the comments that upset him openly with R.E.M. Rena. Good for him! We sure hope that he finally kisses her! Just go for it! Make or break!

Saturday was even busier than Friday! The rings were hopping! The drinks were flowing! The violence was heavy! And the sexual tension was at a boiling point! Has anybody but us noticed how much sexual activity and bed hopping there is in the dueling venues all of a sudden??? This city is totally turned on by blood and gore. It?s really just a weeeee bit sick.

Rowdy Rekah evidently wandered in all dressed up like a candy cane wrapped in ribbon! We?re betting quite a few of you would like to break yourself off a piece of that, huh? Well, our sources tell us that she had her eyes on Hot Toddy Tical? which is kind of cute, actually. She needs a crush! Although, we bet Awful Ali would beg to differ! He has a hard enough time keeping her out of trouble and probably wouldn?t appreciate the idea of her crushing on one of dueling?s most infamous playboys! Yeah, on second thought, STAY AWAY FROM ROWDY REKAH, H.T. TICAL!

Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan and Maria can?t seem to decide if they?re best friends or if they can?t stand each other?s guts. They certainly seemed to not be paying attention to anyone else Saturday night while hanging out. At least that is until H.T. Tical headed over to the girls. Now we have it from some of our BEST sources that Maria was hanging all over H.T. Tical. Now, yes, she was more than a little plastered and, yes, she?s still technically married but we?re still not sure we buy them just being ?very good friends? as their fans and reps keep saying.

What would a night be without that Kel girl all a wreck??? She cries more than Intern Pumpkin Head when she?s missed a nap. And then Lil? Black Book Jaycy joined her and started crying as well. Because isn?t the Arena just the place to go to have full blown relationship drama??? What??? We didn?t tell you. Yes, all you horny men out there, feast on that! L.B.B. Jaycy and Kelathe are involved in some sort of love affair. But don?t get too excited. Evidently Psly is involved too. Yeah, the hotness factor suddenly went way down for you guys, didn?t it? Thought so.

Laaaate into the night, S.P.G. Teagan got into it with the Kel/Jaycy/Psly love grouping. It seems she doesn?t think that L.B.B. Jaycy is with the trio entirely of her own choosing. Interesting. L.B.B. Jaycy called her out in the middle of the Inn, saying that S.P.G. Teagan was IN LOVE with her! Wow. We knew she had a thing but we?re still not convinced that S.P.G. Teagan is actually in love with L.B.B. Jaycy. Kel also let it drop that she slept with S.P.G. Teagan. OMG! We?re going to have to make a tree diagram to keep straight who is sleeping with who or who was sleeping with who in the dueling venues. Anyway, L.B.B. Jaycy assured S.P.G. Teagan that she did care deeply for Psly? but didn?t bother to mention anything about Kel. We wonder if Kel just kind of comes with the package. That?s a buy one, get one deal that we?d opt out of as well!

Up In Smoke Saturday

Dear Kendall,

We get it. We really understand now, one hundred per cent, why you like ?tweakin' off? Quinn and Dean so so SO so much ? maybe you DON'T like doing it that much, but we sure would! First Dean starts off whining and wailing about apartment shopping with his dearest honey-melon... and she walks in right on cue! And you know the worst part?

She doesn't dig. She doesn't blow up. They just get cute, like baby bunny rabbits dipped in caramel and candy sprinkles. Just so sweet it makes you sick to your stomach. ICK!

And then there were bagels.

We liked Yejix when he started swinging a guitar, hollering at the top of his lungs about ninjas, and throwing fresh fruit willy-nilly ? clearly the man knows how to do "crazy" right ? but he got off Gossip Santa's Nice List and back onto the Naughty half the moment the theatrics took a melancholy turn. Threatening a drug-induced coma to spare people your grief is so very last year, and this one's nearly over! Shape up, man!

Now it wouldn't be a proper Saturday night without Sid playing tender, and she didn't disappoint! We spotted her and Lucky playing the comforting friends to an injured and gloomy Sylvia (pour that poor woman a glass of holiday cheer). This ancient elfess can mix our martinis anytime. *Sigh!*

Married Couple Jade and 'Kota graced us with their presence this evening, as well as Young Man... wait, Young Man... did we read that right...? Young Man Charna, who showed up looking effortlessly gorgeous just in time to see another old familiar face, Cowgirl Des! Jade, Dakota, Charna, Des, all in one room in one night. It sure takes this guitar-strumming fox back a few years! *Sniff!*

Alas, never again! We're not sure what our spies were doing (and it better not have been gin rummy again) that they missed the details, but one of our two favorite vampires, Jade, has perished in a dramatic puff of smoke, ash and fire. Our deepest condolences to Mr. Steele from all of us at the Den of Gossip.

Maybe, just maybe, she'll be back ? it is RhyDin, after all.

P.S. I will give anyone who can give me more information on that creeptastic statue a blue ink pen chewed on by none other than Mr. Marc Franco.

Behave Yourself Monday!

Dean and his girl , Quinn, were seen hanging out together in the Red Dragon Inn early on Monday night. It seems they?ve been spending quite a bit of time with another chick named Vex. So much time in fact that we?re starting to wonder who Dean actually has a thing for? or maybe he has a thing for both! Quinn at least knows who he?s going home with because it does appear that the two are living together. Already. Does anybody take their time in relationships in this town? You barely know the girl! Le sigh. We bet they?ll be engaged in a month and she?ll be knocked up in three.

Sassy Serena and Prof. Jolyon are NOT living together? or at least that?s what she was quick to tell someone who implied otherwise the night prior. They do, however, appear to be still together. They were seen chatting with Ballerina Katarina for a while. It seems she?s pretty worn out after all her performances and looking forward to the ballet?s end on Friday! Our sources tell us that she told the couple that she has to have surgery to strengthen her ankles over her break. That?s a little scary! We do hope she?s okay!

Marvelous Mira was overheard telling Chief Mischief Maker Eless that the holiday tree trimming party that her boyfriend, Cowboy Jake, threw really put her in the spirit of the season! Yay! It?s good to see the pretty little thing all in a good mood! We love Cowboy Jake for how happy Marvelous Mira seems to be with him. C.M.M. Eless, on the other hand, seemed a bit out of sorts. We hear that she concentrated on doing what she does best ? taking care of her friends in need. She helped Adorable Amber dry off after she had some sort of root beer close encounter and got Lucky Lawyer Lucien an ice pack when he bumped his head. We do hope everything?s okay with her!

OMG! We heard Alysia walked through the door. Nobody, and we do mean nobody, could have looked more stunned than L.L. Lucien. In fact, we hear he hit his head on the bar AGAIN after spotting her! Unfortunately, the pair did not have time to catch up as L.L. Lucien was busy playing doctor to some girl at the bar. Is it not enough that he gets every infamous/famous RhyDin denizen out of legal trouble??? Now must he tend to them as well??? We?re not really sure how he bears so much responsibility!

In the Outback, Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan had the audacity to complain to SMOKIN? Sartan?s wife, Rory, that he?s been mean to her. She promised to have a stern talk with him about being nicer to S.P.G. Teagan. WHAT?!?! Is she completely clueless??? And, man, does S.P.G. Teagan have some nerve complaining to the wife of the man she?s been hitting on for a couple weeks. We have a feeling that if Rory, who has a reputation for being a weeeee bit jealous, knew what S.P.G. Teagan was up to, she?d be a bit less than pleased. We?d love to see THAT cat fight! HAWT!

Old Man Tass was overheard telling Krazy Kitty that she?s automatically considered crazy for marrying him. Yes! Yes, we totally agree! That should be enough to get someone a one-way ticket to RhyDin?s Bellehaven Mental Institute! Krazy Kitty was seen flirting with her equally insane partner in crime, Lil? Miss Anger Management Jewell! We hear that L.M.A.M. Jewell even made a return inside the rings! It?s been quite a while since we?ve seen her in action. She even had her own little cheering section with Lil? Bit Lirssa taking the lead!

It seems that Rico has hired S.P.G. Teagan. We have NO idea why but if we?re his girlfriend, we?re so not pleased. Who wants their man around something as sexually charged as S.P.G. Teagan All. Day. Long. It certainly doesn?t help that she?s absolutely stunning. We?re not sure there?s a man alive that could resist her. And we so don?t buy that he just sees her as a little sister. Have you seen the girl??? Does she look like your little sister??? We didn?t think so!

We hear that Guill was getting it from all sides Monday night as he hung out in the Outback with his friends. For those of you that don?t read the sports pages of whichever RhyDin newspaper you prefer, Guill challenged for the Dockside barony. When it became clear that Anubis would probably intercede on behalf of his loyal baron, the Baroness of the Seaside district Lil? Black Book Jaycy stated that she would intercede. Guill asked her not to but Jaycy has the right as a renegade baron to do it against his wishes. Guill got angry and withdrew his challenge from Dockside to present it to Seaside! So now he?s challenging Jaycy and, in the mean time, suggested that anyone who uses a champion against the intercession or Test dishonorable. The Crew?s Hot Toddy Tical was very vocal about his disapproval of the switch in challenges and tried to get Guill to see reason. Even SMOKIN? Sartan who usually stays out of politics was baffled by his decision and his own friend Neo tried to make him understand.

Guill?s not budging. He?s dug his heels in now. Even should he beat the Baroness (who has not yet answered the challenge), we have a feeling that he?s pissed off quite a few people by suggesting that they are dishonorable for having used a champion. He better strap on his boots because we have a feeling that the next couple of months could be pretty dicey for him!

This new caller that the Gov MAN-tastic Matt has hired to call Fists is pretty darn adorable! We hear his name is Mart and he?s a shy little thing but very, very sweet! We do have to admit we?re not thrilled by the people who suddenly seem to be hanging around with him. His sweetness and innocence will be destroyed by too much time with the likes of Lil? Black Book Jaycy and Dris! We vote that MAN-tastic Matt makes them behave around him?. although, we?re not sure that either of them even knows how to behave themselves!

Jealous Wednesday!

Lucky Lawyer Lucien was seen having a pretty serious looking chat with a rough looking character! We have no idea what it was about but the same rough looking character was spotted having a conversation with the Many Faces of Fio several nights before. We?re not surprised! All L.L. Lucien?s problems can be directly traced back to one of the many troublesome women in his life! L.L. Lucien needs a vacation!

And speaking of those women, L.L. Lucien had yet ANOTHER run in with Crazy Train Tara over his relationship with Jezebel Bekah? at least C.T. Tara called her a ?jezebel? and who are we to disagree with her??? We hear that C.T. Tara set down an ultimatum ? end the relationship or be forced to watch C.T. Tara ?tear her asunder?. We?re not sure exactly what that means but we?re guessing it?s not a good thing. Lil? Bit Lirssa had quite a few questions for L.L. Lucien about the ins and outs of his relationship with C.T. Tara after C.T. Tara was distracted by some good looking guy at the bar who we hear is named Nigel. No man should have to deal with C.T. Tara much less have to then explain why she is the way she is to a kid like L.B. Lirssa. Yep, L.L. Lucien needs a vacation!

We hear that the Many Faces of Fio and Awful Ali were positively glowing when they showed up Wendesday night! They barely left one another?s sides and were seen shooting quite a few loving looks! They are really such an adorable little married pair and we?re so happy to see that the union that yours truly officiated is still going so strong!

Lil? Miss Anger Management Jewell made an appearance in the Inn! We hear that she was seen chatting with Our Darling Taneths about the multitude of Taneths. According to O.D. Taneths, Tormay is quite sad about the whole ordeal. L.M.A.M. Jewell was overheard explaining to the Taneths that Tormay just loves ?the One? very much. Poor Tormay! Maybe that?s why he hasn?t been seen very much lately. Maybe he?s busy trying to find a solution for this very issue. We hope for his sake that he does! Poor Tormay!

OMG! OMG! OMG! Now that?s what we?re talking about! It seems that Rico had enough of being patient and FINALLY made the move on Real Estate Mogul Rena that we were hoping for on Wednesday in the Outback! He gathered her up in his arms and totally laid a mega kiss on her! Swoon! Our sources say R.E.M. Rena was definitely receptive to the kiss! The pair seemed quite comfortable together, putting to rest all those stupid rumors that she just wasn?t that into him. Jealousy is ugly, ladies. Very, very ugly!

Cas was in a pretty rotten mood when he stormed into the Outback?. not that he?s ever in a particularly good mood. He?s totally perpetually grumpy. Anyway, it seems he was ticked off that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan had ?bothered? him with a challenge. We think that Cas might be starting to feel his age! Maybe he?s just too tired to have to duel S.P.G. Teagan. It seemed what he was really worked up about, though, was Guill calling Lil? Black Book Jaycy dishonorable! He demanded to face off with him in a ring and face off they did! We hear that Cas utterly CRUSHED Guil. Ouch.

The Passing of a Great Friend!

We?re not even really sure exactly what to say. We?re sure by now that you all have heard the news.

A fire started on Jewell Ravenlock?s estate and quickly overtook the entire complex. Authorities believe that Jewell and all seven of her children were in the estate at the time. All eight have been declared dead after bodies were discovered amid the ruins of the estate. Fire investigators have been unable to determine why the blaze started.

It?s a sad day here at the Den of Gossip. Although, we were hard on our Jewell, we also loved her dearly. Nobody in this town could cause as much of a stir simply by walking into a room. She lived her life big and bold and on her own terms. Everything she did, she did with flair and her own special stamp. Not only did she love her own children fiercely but she had taken in several of her siblings? children and loved them as much as she loved her own. In spite of her mouthy tendencies or maybe in part because of them, she was a difficult woman not to love.

We love you, Jewell, and we don?t wish that you rest in peace because you would find that far too boring. We wish you joy, adventure, and whole lot of good looking men to wait on you hand and foot!

Fall Talon of Redwin Tournament!

The Talon of Redwin Tournament, in honor of the GREAT former Overlord Siera Redwin, is the perfect time to witness some of the Arena?s hottest new talent go head-to-head! To make it even better the tournament is sponsored by Red Orc Brewery which makes Badsider Brew! The Arena?s hottest young talent dueling their hearts out + the title holders watching for their new competition + Badsiders flowing freely = an excellent night of drama!

We hear that Darien was busy interviewing potential employees for that piece of crap Post while the match was on going. Evidently some graphic designer/cartoonist was looking for a gig. We have to wonder what?s wrong with him to be unable to get a job with a legitimate news organization. Yeah. Burn. When asked why he wanted to work for the Post, the interviewee stated that it was a ?professional? news organization, not just another ?gossip rag?. Hilarious! We. Die.

Iiiiinteresting! We hear that the Baron Tormay was trying to get Sal to join his house ? House deGorol! Baron Tormay had quite the sales pitch in attempting to get Sullen Sal to bite. We have to wonder why the baron would put so much effort into getting a commoner with a record barely over .500 on board. Could he see something in Sullen Sal that caused him to pick him out of the crowd for an invitation into his dueling house??? As this is a brand new house we have little to go on when it comes to Tormay?s skill in finding young talent but he was overheard saying that if Tormay didn?t believe he was a horrible student, he just had to ?ask Jaycy??. a clear reference to the falling out the pair had when Sullen Sal was Lil? Black Book Jaycy?s squire!

While Sullen Sal was busy turning Tormay down, Deliciously Sinful Sin had found another way to amuse himself! Flirting with a lovely young woman who called herself Harper. He was pretty shameless as always and even personally invited her to the dueling showcase he was hosting the following Tuesday. We suppose that you just sort of become used to this sort of behavior out of D.S. Sin after you?ve been with him for a while. He?ll certainly never change! In fact, our sources say there was even a discussion about a dinner date between the two while Sullen Sal looked on with a bored expression!

PIMP Imp was in rare form in more ways than one! He managed to hit on pretty much every woman that stepped foot in the Arena, including his opponents! He faced off in the second round against former Talon winner, Ms. Wyh Not! Our sources tell us that he even tried to convince her that he was the Overlord and that she should have his babies. Now we?re usually of the mind set that babies are ALWAYS cute but?. baby imps??? Even if the womenfolk were quick to turn down Imp?s advances, nobody could match Imp?s skill! He sailed through the tournament into the final round to face off against Thorne but even Thorne couldn?t keep Imp from taking the win!

Congratulations, Imp!

Popping Out Saturday!

Wow. That Dean is a little hot head. And his girl, Quinn, doesn?t seem to have the guts to stand up to him. He first flipped out and snatched a rose out of her hand when Lang handed them out to her AND Spade. THEN he got all offended when Lang said that he shouldn?t compare his girl to his mother (which is pretty good advice in our opinion) because his mom is dead. And how was Lang supposed to know that? And how did Lang say anything negative about his mother? Ridiculous! We really hope this girl wises up and stops being such a door mat! Stand up to him, chickie!

As the living example of the PERFECT husband/boyfriend/significant other, it just so happened that Yummy Ewan was in the room with his drop dead gorgeous wife, the Divine Mrs. Storm. It?s nice to see that the pair are still going strong and still making time to go out on date nights despite now having a family. We are starting to wonder when this family will grow, though! Do you think he?ll knock her up again soon? We sure hope so! These two have to have lots of well-mannered kids to make up for all the morons on this city that keep popping out young!

Speaking of going strong, it seems that the unlikely couple of Professor Jolyon and Serena haven?t split up yet. We certainly wouldn?t count these two as married and off the market yet. And we?re not the only ones to think that one of the two of them are going to finally realize how odd of a pairing this is! They were seen chatting briefly with Chief Mischief Maker Eless about plans for the holidays. It seems that Prof. Jolyon is taking Serena back home with him to spend them with his family. We do have to admit that?s an awfully serious step. C.M.M. Eless on the other hand was staying in town and hoping to spend some time with Connar! We hear that she and Connar were actually seen quite enthralled with one another by the hearth laaaate into the night. They?re adorable! It?s like there?s no one else in the room when they?re together. So cute!

No Crying Monday!

Elite Eleanor is quite the popular girl these days! She was spotted Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn with Brale Brother Reap? who we can only assume is her man now. Awful Ali was seen chatting with her and asking her for lessons in armed combat, particularly with swords, in exchange for a bottle of vodka. Eleanor was game and the lessons began immediately out front of the Inn. We?d love to know why he has the sudden interest in sword-play. He was seen looking quite sore and a bit worse for wear. Could he be doing it for protection? Or does he plan on becoming active in the Inn?s basement Arena as several of his friends have?

Rowdy Rekah, The Many Faces of Fio, and Lil? Bit Lirssa were all on hand to watch the lessons go down after a gift exchange. We hear that Rekah got some fabulous rainbow colored leggings from Lirssa! Too cute! Anyway, The Many Faces of Fio tried to get Lirssa to put on shoes but try as she may Lirssa still ran out barefooted. Who would have ever thought that T.M.F.O. Fio would have to get all motherly and serious??? Having Lirssa in her household might actually be good for her! She certainly has seemed more together since Lirssa came to live with them.

So? we weren?t sure how to address it, especially on the news of such high profile deaths as of late and without knowing exactly what happened, but according to our sources Jade has been killed?. by her husband, Dakota. Yeah. Crazy, isn?t it??? From what our sources have gathered, Dakota stabbed some box in the middle of the Inn which caused Jade to burst into flames. Rumor has it that Chief Mischief Maker Eless was actually on hand to witness the whole thing go down. The public is a bit stunned and Dakota is supposedly in hiding while the death is being investigated. Icer and her daughter, Serenity, were told of the news of their ?sister? and ?aunt? respectively on Monday night and was quite broken up over it. Pretty tragic situation if it does turn out to be true.

For the record, THERE IS NO CRYING IN DUELING! Seriously, people, we would think that would be quite obvious but evidently Neo needs to be told. Yeah, you read that right! Neo of all people! He was seen getting a bit teary-eyed Monday night in the Outback when his girlfriend, Hot Mess Kelathe, was seen giving him some sort of ring. We hear that it?s that ancient sign of eternity. You know the one with the snake eating its own tail??? Romantic. Evidently Neo was quite moved by the gift and these two seem to be going stronger than ever. We?re getting a little frightened that Kel might actually be turning Neo into an over emotional mess too. Say it ain?t so!

The great thing about when Dris is on the couch calling duels is that you know when two hotties come along looking for a duel they will end up in the pool! Therefore, it?s not at all surprising that the match between the Wrecking Crew?s Hot Toddy Tical and Super Slick Psly got the pair shirtless and wet. We hear that it attracted quite the female audience! The pool doesn?t get used enough these days! It always creates such HOTNESS! Ladies, be sure to tip Dris well and we bet that you?ll see some more of your favorites head to it in the very near future.

Well, with the rumors that Jewell and the Dread Kidd Pirate Stephen might have possibly been working on their differences, we expected to see? well, we suppose he was just what we expected to see. Our sources say that he definitely looked morose and was doing some serious heavy drinking. However, there was that Diana woman drinking with him and she was also seen leaving with him. We?re were a little surprised at first to hear that he was spotted in the company of a woman so soon after his ex-wife?s death but he?s just the type to bury his pain in cheap booze and cheaper women.

Dueling Showcase Showdown!

Much of the dueling community and many new faces gathered for a Dueling Showcase Showdown in the Arena Tuesday night! The bash was hosted by Deliciously Sinful Sin and we hear that he was in rare form. It certainly didn?t hurt that he looked absolutely, incredibly yummy! We hear that he was dressed in all black but with a flash of red suspenders. And Sin certainly knows how to throw a good party! That can?t be in doubt!

We hear that when G?naughty G?nort came in for his Swords? demonstration match against the Wrecking Crew?s Maria, he was wearing a sequined robe and was flanked by hot young women?. who were probably young enough to be his daughters. In fact, knowing G?naughty G?nort?s reputation, they very well could be his daughters without him even knowing it! That must make it awfully difficult to sleep with the women of RhyDin. We think we?d have to request a family tree before we?d bed them! We?re not sure if G?naughty G?nort bedded any of them but Speedster Nova was sure giving it a try. Our sources tell us that he was busy trying to get one of the women?s phone numbers! We?ve got a feeling that it didn?t work out well for him.

There was quite the discussion in the ring over the news that leaked out in a pamphlet on the match that G?naughty G?nort and Crew Maria actually had one date years ago. At least that?s one woman he knows he?s not related to! Crew Maria seemed not the least bit happy that the news saw the light of day and G?nort seemed determined to throw her off her game by using it to his advantage. Unfortunately for him, it didn?t seem to work. After a closely fought match, Maria was able to take him down for the win!

Smokin? Sartan and Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan continue to get cloooooser and cloooooser. They spent Tuesday night again in one another?s company and our sources tell us that Smokin? Sartan was even giving S.P.G. Teagan a little showing of what he?s working with. This can?t possibly end well! Our Darling Taneth(s) seem(s) determined to find Speedster Nova and Randy Rix some ladies. We hear Randy Rix wasn?t interested which can only mean one thing! He must be dating someone again. Speedster Nova was but only if the woman was a natural blonde and had never been with Rix or G?nort. Really, that eliminates most of the single women in RhyDin. Good luck with that task, Taneth!

AJ and her husband Ryan were there and had their pair of three week old twins ? Orla and Seamus ? in tow. We?re not really digging the names all that much. Those names are better on little old people rather than cute kids. The babies are adorable, though, and did cause quite the stir among the womenfolk. Simmering Sivanna, in particular, seemed absolutely thrilled to see her friend, AJ, and to get to spend some time with the little ones. Maybe her man, Alec, should pay attention! Could Simmering Sivanna be hoping to be the next pretty young thing around here that?s knocked up??? And then again maybe not. Aja was overheard saying that seeing Sivanna with a baby in her arms was a very rare sight indeed! It?s too bad. She?d make one hot lil? mama!

Don?t make the mistake of thinking Simmering Sivanna is going soft, though! She was 100% on her game Tuesday night in the Duel of Magic demonstration! The Keeper of Fire faced off against the Keeper of Water, Neo, and she showed why she is one tough chick! Even though she was dressed in a gorgeous gown, she busted down her competition with a complete shut out! No lie! And Neo?s skills are certainly nothing to scoff at either! Way to go Simmering Sivanna!

Aja was overheard reading an old edition of our printed version aloud! Which one caught her eye? The one that talked about how we think it was a mistake that she dumped the hot Kidd brother. Reeeeaaaally? Did that reeeeeeaaaally catch your attention, Aja??? We have to wonder now if she?s not completely over him. Maybe she?s rethinking the very bad move to dump him! She was heard saying that we never liked him. WRONG! We didn?t like how quickly the pair of them were moving. Relationships take time to build. They can?t be forced overnight. We think she should try to find him. What do YOU think?!?!

The battle between the Gov MAN-tastic Matt and his wife FLAWLESS Koy in the Duel of Fists demonstration was nothing less than BRUTAL! Husband and wife going toe-to-toe, blow-to-blow? If it was any other politican and any other wife in any other setting it would be career ending! Instead, it?s seen in MAN-tastic Matt?s world as good publicity to stay in the public eye by facing off against his lovely wife. It was a very closely fought match but in the end it was MAN-tastic Matt that emerged victorious. Good for him, we guess. That?s definitely a no-win situation for him!

We hear that it was a fantastic event and really displayed the duels at their finest! Yay for that!

Spirit of Giving Thursday!

The city was pretty quite on Thursday evening understandably but a couple things of note happened in the usual venues.

Chief Mischief Maker Eless was seen spending the holiday in high fashion with her long-time love, Connar. He is often kept out of town for his work so it was wonderful to see that he was able to make it back in town for the holidays. Ladies as lovely as C.M.M. Eless should not be left on their own for too long! She doesn?t need her pranks or her wardrobe to catch attention. Her beauty can do that all on its own!

We hear that Eleanor (with Reap nearby, of course, because you don?t see one without the other these days) was overheard telling Ali that she is now working for the Baron, meaning Awesome Alain. Iiiiinteresting! We do hope that its merely for consulting work because rumor on the street is that his knights don?t have particularly long life expectancies. We?ve got a feeling that Eleanor can handle herself, though. She just seems like she could be one scary broad with a sword in her hands!

In the true spirit of giving, it seems that Kaja was ready to give her husband, G?naughty G?nort, to Deliciously Sinful Sin for an evening of debauchery? with her watching, of course. We feel dirty just having a source relay the information to us! Way to honor the holiday spirit, Kaja! There was a pretty bare greeting and not much else between Kaja and her former hubby-to-be and new Overlord, Tical, when he came limping in shortly after. We never fail to be entertained by the tension between the pair of them!

Defensive Saturday!

Guill?s short on friends these days but it certainly seemed that Saturday night Laylla at the least would be standing beside him. We have to wonder if this is in part because her ex-husband, Cas, has been pretty vocal in his dislike for Guill and his comments towards Cas? good friend, Lil? Black Book Jaycy. We hear that Guill was awfully grateful for the support and didn?t seem to question Laylla?s motives. But we do! We?re still waiting for the formerly married couple to really clash. THAT would be awesome!

Aja and her twin sister, Ajia, were sitting around talking about their upcoming birthday. It seems the sisters, Ajia in particular, were quite pleased with themselves about how well they?ve held up over the years. We?re pretty sure that their secret to a youthful glow has to do with sex. Lots and lots of sex with younger men. What??? Come on! It?s Aja we?re talking about here! She won?t be offended. In fact, she?ll probably agree with us!

Evidently we?re not the only ones who are noticing the VERY close relationship between Lil? Black Book Jaycy and Hot Mess Kelathe. They spent most of the night whispering quietly together and L.B.B. Jaycy cheered Kelathe on from the sidelines as she dueled. They were even caught embracing?. but NO kissing which L.B.B. Jaycy was quick to point out when Collie told the pair to get a room. L.B.B. Jaycy made a very vocal claim that she was headed to ?wear out? Psly? while H.M. Kelathe said the only person she was sharing a room with that night was Nice Guy Neo. Defensive much???

Engagement Monday!

Our sources can?t tell us exactly how it went down Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn but all we know is that Rekah and Harris were seen chasing each other around the Inn. There are even reports that she beat up the legendary Outback star. Wow. That?s not good for his rep! We hear that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan looked on with no small amount of amusement and the craziness didn?t end until Mega Mom Icer actually SAT on Harris. That?s an experience that we?d certainly like to avoid!

Remember how we said that Harris seems to have a unique talent for hanging out with some of the hottest young women in the Inn??? Well, Monday was no exception! He and S.P.G. Teagan were seen spending time with a young lady named Sarah. We don?t know a whole lot about her yet but she is quite the pretty little brunette and has been spending a lot of time in the dueling venues as of late.

See! This is exactly what we?re worried about. We hear that Awful Ali paid little attention to his wife, The Many Faces of Fio, as they spent time in the Inn. Instead, he only seemed to have eyes for Eleanor! What in the world is going on??? The pair were seen having a very serious looking discussion while T.M.F.O. Fio had a cup of tea not too far away. Would Awful Ali really cheat on his wife??? We know that Eleanor isn?t a big monogamy fan but would she go so far as to sleep with another woman?s man??? Is Awful Ali finally tired of having to be responsible for all the women in his life and wants a woman who can take care of herself???

For some reason that nobody can quite explain to us Manly Mason was seen entering the Inn wearing some sort of hat with a feather in it, lederhosen, leather shorts, and suspenders. Yeah, no joke. We hear that Lucky Lawyer Lucien and Awful Ali were stunned speechless! Manly Mason came bearing good news! We?re not sure if we?ve ever seen Doc Eva as happy as when Manly Mason told her that he was offered a job with a local caterer. Congratulations, Manly Mason!

They didn?t have long to celebrate the news because Crazy Train Tara came zipping in on a scooter and Manly Mason had to pull both Doc Eva and Chief Mischief Maker Eless out of the way so they didn?t get run over by the out of control scooter! We have no idea who gave it to her but somebody showed VERY poor judgment because she didn?t even seem to know where the brakes were! L.L. Lucien got her to jump off the scooter into his arms just before it crashed into the bar. The scooter was toast but C.T. Tara seemed perfectly fine?. as always. Poor L.L. Lucien!

Things weren?t any less chaotic in the Outback Monday night! We hear that S.P.G. Teagan punched Speedster Nova in the?. well, special private man area! FOUL, M?LADY, FOUL! While Speedster Nova tried not to cry, Smokin? Sartan tried not to laugh at his friend and his wife, Rory, tried to convince Speedster Nova that he should take S.P.G. Teagan out on a date since she was now well acquainted with his boys. S.P.G. Teagan evidently thought a dinner date was a fine way to settle their difference. OMG. We don?t even know where to start!

Deliciously Sinful Sin was overheard giving Dris a hard time about his engagement! It wasn?t officially announced until several days later but D.S. Sin has the second best sources in town! Second only to our sources, of course! The official announcement was sent to the Den of Gossip and we are pleased to have the opportunity to post it ?

?Sheridan ?Dris? Driscol, renowned luthier, musician and dueling sports official, announces his engagement to Icarus Abraxas Dahaki-Marcotte, heir of House Kalseru. Mr. Driscol is the son of Weylin and Lavena Driscol of Canterbury, England circa 1900s Earth, both deceased, and Mr. Marcotte is the son of Samuel Marcotte (deceased) and the honorable Lady Azhi Dahaki, both from the Kingdom of Tarn. The date for this wedding has yet to be decided.?

Called us a bunch of sappy romantics but we?re tickled pink when people who say they will NEVER marry find love and can?t resist declaring their commitment to share their life together before their friends and family! We?re so pleased for the pair of them! Congratulations!

What is up with Lil? Black Book Jaycy??? She?s changing before our eyes and we?re not liking it ONE FREAKING BIT!!! We love the old Jaycy. You know, the bed-hopping, commitment-phone, marriage vow breaking heart-breaker! Not only is she turning into a one man woman ? she again only had eyes for Psly Monday night ? but she?s physically changing! We hear that she was seen with scales? and wings! What in the world is going on with her??? We don?t like when being with a man starts to change a woman, especially such a woman that usually gives us such great gossip fodder. WE DISAPPROVE!

To The Court Wednesday!

Lil? Bit Lirssa spent some time tending the bar at the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night. She certainly seems to be doing that a lot lately, doesn?t she??? The Many Faces of Fio asked her about her plans for her tips and she mentioned that she was going to use them towards her debt with Awful Ali. Really? L.B. Lirssa is paying Awful Ali for a debt that T.M.F.O. Fio doesn?t know about??? We?re telling you. It sure seems like there?s trouble in paradise! Those two don?t seem to be on the same page AT ALL anymore! We can?t have the first couple we?ve ever married go breaking up! It can?t happen!

The Dread Kidd Pirate Stephen was in the Inn telling (not asking) Crazy Train Tara that she was paying for his guide to the ?seelie court? which we understand is a collection of faeries. C.T. Tara had quite a few questions about why he wanted her money to get a guide to this court but T.D.K.P. Stephen would not give her any answers. C.T. Tara wouldn?t give him the money without getting to go along which was a demand that Stephen eventually gave into. He also spoke with Brale Brother Reap who advised him that he could get Stephen in touch with Spade who might be able to guide him to the seelie court. We have to wonder if this has something to do with Jewell. The timing certainly is suspicious! Maybe he is pretty torn up about her loss after all.

Cowboy Jake and the Marvelous Mira spent a bit of time together, having drinks and chatting. We?re still surprised that he?s being so patient and hasn?t asked her to marry him. That proposal can?t be too far away, right? They were making plans for New Years and he?s definitely smitten with her. We?re not sure if she?s just keeping her feelings close to the vest or if her last relationship has left her a bit burned but we?re still not totally sure if she?s as into him as he?s into her. We have no idea why! He?s absolutely PERFECT for her!

While Harris is awfully good at picking out the new HAWT talent in the Inn, his friends Smokin? Sartan and Speedster Nova have the market cornered in the dueling venues, particularly the Outback. They jump on new girls faster than you can snap your fingers! Smokin? Sartan spent a good portion of Wednesday night trying to hook up Speedster Nova with a tall blonde named Penelope. We?re just not so sure how into him the chick was. She?s definitely a hottie, though. Perhaps a wee biiiit out of Speedster Nova?s league.

The first of the round of Opal challenges went down Wednesday night in the Outback as FLAWLESS Koy, the holder of the black opal, faced off against G?naughty G?nort. This was another challenge in which there didn?t seem to be any bad blood but FLAWLESS Koy did seem to question whether or not G?naughty G?nort understood what he was getting himself into with the black opal. The pair faced off in some of the Outback?s infamous rings as Lil? Black Book Jaycy officiated. G?naughty G?nort took the first match but FLAWLESS Koy took the next two and, therefore, defended her title.

Congratulations to the holder of ShadoWeaver, Koy!

Overlord Tical was awfully busy! He was seen in conferences with two baronesses ? a renegade and his newest loyal. He had a short conversation with Lil? Black Book Jaycy but our sources could not determine what it was about. L.B.B. Jaycy has always been vocal that her loyalty only goes to her closest friends but seems to support Tical?s reign despite her alignment. Our sources tell us that Slutty Pirate Girl Teagan?s conversation with him had more to do with the events of the previous night. It seems that they discussed her loyalty and S.P.G. Teagan seemed confident in her decision.

Our Darling Taneth was acting odd again Wednesday night. We hear that she was back in the Outback trying to get the titleholders to let her give them assistance. Overlord Tical quickly pushed her off on Baroness Teagan who wasn?t able to get rid of O.D. Taneth so quickly. There is something really unsettling about this behavior. It?s definitely making the titleholders uncomfortable. It?s also a bit dangerous. Not all the titleholders are good people. Very very sad.
