One Heck of a Bird Tuesday!

Whereas SUUUUUPER Des breaks out a shotgun, Amber breaks out sugar cookies!!! Tuesday night in the Red Dragon Inn Eless and Amber were behind the bar as a brawl threatened to break out between two groups of women. The two tenders attempted to quell the raging tempers with crackers and cheese and sugar cookies! We HEART these two girls and their tactics did seem to eventually work!!!

Our sources spotted Wil and Locke chatting and the pair seemed to be getting along swimmingly but it would have been hard not to get along with Locke last night! He seemed to be in a FANTASTIC mood!!! We wonder if it has anything to do with the lovely Atalanta that he has been seen hanging out with quite a lot recently. Locke was overheard telling Wil that Eless was quite the ?bird?! We agree!!! She?s one heck of a looker!

Brale Brother Baker was seen belly up to the bar? and what is the Inn without Brale Brother Baker belly up to the bar??? He was giving Anastas a handful of evil looks. It seems he believed Anastas was an assassin sent to kill ?the Free Ale guy?. Perhaps too much booze has made B.B. Baker a bit paranoid!!! He seemed to leave Anastas thoroughly confused. No worries, man! He leaves us all that way!

?The? Diamond Smokin? Sartan was seen in the Outback complaining to Soerl and Hodge that his wife cracked down on his rule about women dueling. Evidently, every time he enforces a punishment for that rule, she will make him sleep on the couch!!! MAJOR!!! It left ?The? Diamond quite grumpy!

Gubernatorial candidate G?naughty G?nort was seen wrestling with one of the Grazianos, Myria, in the Outback Tuesday night! He seemed AWFULLY friendly with her and she wasn?t exactly pushing away his advances!!! We wonder if this will lead to some increased tension between the Graziano brothers ? Tony and Chris ? and G?naughty G?nort as the TDL season winds to a close with both of their teams as contenders for the title!!!

Later into the night, our sources caught G?naughty G?nort and Mini-Frank Cor in a full on lip lock!!! OMG, Batman!!! If there?s one thing we all know about G?naughty G?nort by now it?s that he?s definitely a SWINGER! You go, boys!!! It made Cor a bit uncomfortable but we really think he?s just denying who he is. EMBRACE YOURSELF, MINI FRANK COR!

Hodge was seen hanging out with Rix, Speedster Nova, and Smokin? Sartan! You would think that if you were Rix you might want to keep your new girl AWAY from your crazy friends!!! However, Hodge seems to like his crazy friends so maybe she?s just crazy enough to like Rix as well. The pair cuddled close as they joked around with their friends and Luscious Lydia and Big Britches Erin!

Luscious Lydia and Big Britches Erin are never two to miss out on a business opportunity! When they heard how much Nova?s daughter and Sartan?s wife enjoy shopping, they attempted to convince the two men to send the ladies to The Stitch for an entire new wardrobe!!! We love the greedy business women in them! So HAWT!

DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy was spotted in the Outback talking of not much else but FASHION FASHION FASHION!!! It seems that one of RhyDin?s top fashion designers was already throughly enveloped by the upcoming fashion week?. which starts today!!! Oh, how we LOVE RhyDin Fashion Week! The starving models, the glitz and glam, the yappy assistants high on massive amounts of caffiene! It?s a drama-lovers? dream!!!

Pixie Brawl Wednesday!

Word around the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night was that Hina had recently popped out Skid?s spawn!!! OMG!!! Wasn?t she just announcing she was pregnant like yesterday??? Man, these magical folks don?t seem to give their kids long enough to properly bake in there. We?ve got to admit that we?re dying to know what this little rugrat looks like!!!

It?s nice to see that Potter Piper isn?t letting herself get down about Peredhil!!! She was seen at the bar turning the tables on Brale Brother Baker by teasing him that he was afraid of women!!! In fact, she was seen playfully hurling pretzels at the boozer. Later into the night, she chatted cheerfully with Edible Eless (who was in a mischievous mood) and DoD-er Rena! It seems the girls were considering allowing Baker to join their merry band of self-proclaimed misfits. Well, Baker certainly fits the bill!

Out of the blue a brawl broke out between Cutey Carley and an unknown pixie!!! WHAT?!?! Someone dared disturb a hair on Cutey Carley?s head??? We?re told that the melee was quite amusing and involved butterfly nets and flying peanuts. Basalt who was tending bar told the pair to clean up their own mess but didn?t seem anxious to jump into the middle of a pixie/elf battler herself! We don?t blame her!!! It?s enough cute to make you gag!!! Only some quiet words from Hunky Carpenter Glenn was able to bring Cutey Carley?s temper back under control.

We hear later into the night the atmosphere was dulled by news that the sweet, kind S?jira may have run into a bit of foul play!!! There are rumors that the little woman has been kidnapped. We?re sure that Head Pussy Panther is on the case!!! He has certainly been seen interested in her well being. We?d hate to stand in his way when he was angry!

SPEEDSTER Nova and ?The? Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan were both seen chatting in the Outback. It seems that SMOKIN? Sartan isn?t the only one with family drama at home! Nova was overheard complaining about his sisters and daughter in great detail. The pair stopped their whining long enough to amuse Luscious Lydia and Hodge with their antics!!! Lydia was quite amused and was seen nearly snorting the water she was drinking amidst her laughter. We think the Outback and Nova have been soooo good for Luscious Lydia!!! It?s so nice to see her smiling and laughing again!

As for Hodge, she was seen keeping company with Rix yet again! In fact, we hear he was caught kissing her on the cheek and the pair was overheard making plans for a more intimate meeting. Awww! So sweet! We give it two months.

Big Britches Erin was seen sporting her most recent arm candy, Cowboy Jake, around the Outback and introduced him to her friends there. We heard that Jake seemed a bit awkward when faced with some of RhyDin?s best brawlers! He seems to be the controlling type so we?re betting he tries to put a stop to her visits there.

Arena Politics Thursday!

The brothers Kidd were in the Red Dragon Inn Thursday night up to their usual antics. CHARITY Jewell really needs to find Stephen and Robert a good babysitter for when they?re out in public? or perhaps just a pair of strong muzzles!!! Either way the pair wasn?t in the Inn long before the Watch showed up to arrest Stephen for inciting a riot!!! OMG! They hauled him away and shot Robert through the shoulder for interfering. Awesome Alain attempted to calm the situation but there was no stopping it once it was in motion!

The Gov Kitty entered shortly after and was appraised of the situation by Awesome Alain. She was NOT happy!!! The Gov Kitty said she would quickly get to the bottom of whomever was arresting protesters! You go, Kitty!!! CHARITY Jewell entered later and was told of the situation as well. It appears several rogue Watchmen are behind the arrest/kidnapping and both women vowed to end the men behind it! Even Basalt offered her assistance! What a dangerous trio of ladies that would be!

We hear that Atalanta was a bit out of it Thursday evening! We?re betting the girl had one too many alcoholic beverages. She?s certainly a paaaartier! She was seen in Locke?s company and Locke seemed quite concerned for the young woman that he?s been seen quite a lot with over the last couple of weeks. Well, if you?re getting into a relationship with a binge drinker, better get used to it, Locke!

It was a night of HAWT males tenders! The night started off with big man Tucker slinging drinks and he was relieved by Cool Cat Keaton! As if that wasn?t enough, the night ended with Johnny behind the bar!!! SWEET!!! Needless to say the Inn was full of a lot of HAWT, single women Thursday night! Unfortunately for them, Johnny brought along his gorgeous bride-to-be Sianna to keep him company!!! Sianna obviously knows she needs to be present with the ?HANDS-OFF MY MAN? vibe going!

The action was DIIIIRTY downstairs in the Inn?s basement Arena Thursday night! While the legendary duelist Xeno called regular duels, Baron of the Seaside District Damien Mortis pressed challenge against Overlord Roland as Overlord Roland had defeated Damien?s friend Cletus Ganderfald originally for the title! Overlord Roland decided to allow his second, Sartan, to test the Baron citing that it would be more interesting if both the Overlord title and a Baronial ring were up for grabs in the same night (as if the person testing beats a challenging baron, the person testing can then immediately issue challenge for the challenging baron?s ring).

An argument broke out between Cletus and Renegade Barons G?nort over which would stand up for Damien against Sartan?s test. G?nort stepped down deciding he?d prefer to spend the time flirting with Big Britches Erin. However, just as Sartan and Cletus leveled their blades against one another, another renegade baron Xeric JUMPED INTO THE RING!!! As a renegade baron, Xeric has first choice to intercede on the test so Cletus was forced to step out of the ring.

Are you confused yet??? We sure are! The low down of it is that if Sartan won the match, Baron Damien would have to duel Sartan to see if he was ?worthy? enough to face Overlord Roland. If Baron Xeric defeated Sartan, Baron Damien could proceed directly to his match with the Overlord.

While Sartan was busy in a ring, his friends were busy on the outside!!! Speedster Nova was seen ringside heckling Sartan out of one side of his mouth and flirting with Big Britches Erin out of the other. We still vote that this would be an awesomely sarcastic duo. Yet, unfortunately, Cowboy Jake came in to break up the party. Boooo! Rix was also getting his groove thing on by continuing to lay the charm on pretty thick with Hodge. We still say he?s playing her, though! That boy?s got one HECK of a reputation.

As for the action within the ring, Xeric got a quick lead and then proceeded to blow it in fantastic fashion. In fact, his demise was so atrocious that there were calls from Baron Damien?s corner that Xeric may have purposefully thrown the match as Xeric has been a vocal supporter of Overlord Roland!!! Drama, drama, drama!

Baron Damien defeated Sartan in the second round, eliminating the possibility that Sartan would walk away from the evening a baron and allowing Baron Damien to proceed with his challenge for the Overlord title!!! So?. after all that drama, The P-Imp was finally able to call the Overlord and his challenger to a ring! After a closely fought match, it was the Overlord that walked away with the win!!!

You?d think the drama would stop there, wouldn?t you??? However, it?s continued on!!! Xeric?s rumored thrown bout has become a topic of public discussion with several barons and former barons weighing in!!! In fact, there?s even been a public bounty set on the first challenger who can take Xeric?s title! WE LOVE IT!!!

Congratulations to Overlord Roland, by the by, for being able to hold onto his title!!!!

Fashion, Fashion, Fashion Friday!

Our sources were quick to inform us that Hina was in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night complaining about her son ALREADY!!! It seems that she just can?t keep a handle on Skid?s magical spawn. Well, we told you to keep the bun in the oven a little longer. It?s no wonder the kid?s half-baked!

Chryrie was giggling like a schoolgirl when presented a gift by the Ranger Hawk for her aid in healing him at one point or another. We tell you! Women just loooove surprise gifts!!! It makes even the hardcore ones act like silly little girls! We hear that the gift was a beautifully carved wooden case with a leather handle. Wowzer, if Hawk made that himself, he should so go into business! We hear that the case was truly a work of art and inside it was full of surgical tools! What a thoughtful man he is! Amthy is awfully lucky!!!

We hear that Edible Eless has been in HEAVEN at RhyDin?s Fashion Week! Who can doubt that Eless is one of this city?s best eyes for fashion??? What we wouldn?t give to spend a day looking through her wardrobe!! She was overheard talking to DoD-er Rena about what a daze she?s been in surrounded by so many beautiful clothes and noteworthy designers. In fact, she was attempting to convince DoD-er Rena to attend several shows with her the following day!!!

SUUUUPER Des showed up late into the night with one of her new recruits to tend bar! The latest tender is a small exotic looking blue woman named Soran who seemed quiet but friendly in her own way. Welcome to the Inn, Soran!!! We hear that, as always, SUUUUPER Des was accompanied by her (overly?) attentive husband, Gav. When does a caring, doting husband become an anal control freak?!?! ?.Hey, we?re just saying!

Baby?s Mama Drama Saturday!

Word from the Red Dragon Inn is that Icer dropped a load of eggs over the last day or so!!! In fact, we hear there?s six in all. Her mate, Aurthur, was quite thrilled with the news of a large clutch. We, on the other hand, are already preparing a petition for the new governor as we believe that due to Icer?s extreme breeding, it?s time to have open hunting season on dragons!!! All together now ? copulation leads to over population!

Atalanta had another mini-break down in the Inn that required her PAAARRRTY friend Chase to calm her down. We?re starting to believe Atalanta?s problem isn?t booze but might be a bit more serious!!! Lay off the drugs, sister!!! Prior to the meltdown, she was seen in what appeared to be a blush when Chase mentioned Locke. We think there is definitely something up between Atalanta and Locke? if only Atalanta can get her act together!

Awesome Alain was seen in the Inn discussing the opening of his new pub ? the Silver Mark. We?re told it?s a take on a British pub which should make all the British invaders feel right at home!!! Rumor is that it opens on February 7th and an interesting collection of the Who?s Who of RhyDin has been mentioned as planning on attention this opening. Fascinating!!! You better believe that we?ll have spies present!

We hear that Atalanta is one of his bartenders! We wonder how Head Pussy Panther will feel about one of his tenders moonlighting at the Silver Mark!

Cass, a redhead that?s been seen quite a few times hanging out in the Inn, was getting to know Blue-Haired Bimbo Harris at the bar. While the pair certainly didn?t seem to like one another very well (there were stare downs and insults thrown), it certainly felt like flirting! There?s a thin line between loathing and love sometimes!!! We wonder what Stick would do to this Cass girl if she ever got her hands on her!!! OUCH!!!

MAN-tastic Matt was seen in the Arena and even he had Fashion Week on the brain!!! It seems that DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy has been keeping him awfully busy with errands since the start of Fashion Week. He was desperate for a duel and some rest. We love a woman that has her man working for her!

The night got a bit interesting as SUUUUUPER Des showed up to call a challenge match!!! ?The? Diamond Smokin? Sartan was dueling on behalf of the Baron?s Council to defend the Old Temple district (after Baron Horatio had been stripped of the title for failing to respond) against challenge from the Overlord Grant winner and current Talon of Redwin holder, Pirate Hottie Teagan!

Quite a crowd had gathered to watch the event unfold. SPEEDSTER Nova was there to stand as Sartan?s second and to hit on the challenger. Luscious Lydia was overheard predicting a Teagan win due to Tegan?s strong showing in both the Overlord Grant tournament and the Talon of Redwin Tournament. Even Rix was present with his hottie new crush, Hodge. Things still seem warm but not spicy hot between the pair. We?re still not so sure about this one!

In the end, it was Teagan who emerged as the winner and the new Baroness of Old Temple! Teagan showed her appreciation for the Overlord choosing her as his champion in the Overlord Grant Tournament by telling SUUUUPER Des that she would be loyal to the Overlord.

Congratulations, Teagan!

Some crazy news after the match!!! It appears that Shanni Colton who just recently made an appearance back in the Outback is the MOTHER of Nova?s child!!! Nova had thought her dead when she disappeared after attempting to destroy an opal. We hear that Speedster Nova sounded quite nervous about her returning to take their daughter when he was relaying the story to Big Britches Erin!!! OMG!!! The DRAMA!!!

Beach Party Sunday!

The night turned into a bit of a party Sunday in the Red Dragon Inn thanks to SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee!!! To make a recent arrival to RhyDin from a tropical location feel more at home, she used her magical touch to create the setting for the perfect beach party complete with sand, the sound of the ocean, and bikinis for the laaaadies!!!

Everybody got into the groooove thang as Gav cooked up some fresh crab legs as he tended bar and Eless made quite the showing when she arrived for her shift in a blue floral sarong with a flower tucked behind an ear! Even SUUUUPER Des got into the act! She seemed thrilled to be able to sink her toes into the sand!

We hear that the beach party was briefly interrupted as one of the PAAAAARRTY girls had another ?episode?. This time it was Chase who seemed way out of it and Atalanta trying to ?sober? her up!!! OMG!!! Seriously, we?re buying stock in a rehab facility some time in the very near future! We hear that she snapped to enough when Quel got there to put on her flirty face for him. These girls sure do know how to work the menfolk!

Dark, handsome, new guy Ethan has been rumored to have a thing for Maeve but it was Atalanta that he was trying to get alone Sunday night! Atalanta seemed desperately attempting to avoid him at first but in the end allowed Ethan to corner her for what seemed like a pretty intense conversation! Locke entered while the pair were engaged and was not at all happy to see his new crush chatting up with the good-looking Ethan. What man would??? It appeared Locke had little to worry about as Atalanta seemed anxious to join him!

Things were a bit slow downstairs in the Annex for Fight Night as well but we did catch sight of some of the big hitters? and their family! Myria Graziano was seen in a ring getting a couple duels in! That girl has been awfully busy in the fists rings as of late. We?re wondering if she?s hoping for a spot on her family?s IFL team this season. She?s pretty darn good to boot!!!

Mini-Frank Cor was seen ogling Luscious Lydia when she came in looking GOLDEN! Knowing Mini-Frank Cor?s history, we doubt he was looking at her body (which we have to admit is KILLA!) but her fierce curve-hugging black dress!!! That boy has an eye for FASHION! We?re just disappointed that there was no good-looking, straight, single men there to appreciate her appropriately. G?naughty G?nort made some inappropriate remarks for a married man? but doesn?t that just go without saying at this point???

We hear that Big Britches Erin and Luscious Lydia were up to their businesswomen ways AGAIN!!! We hear they were trying to convince Rix to bring his new hottie Hodge over to The Stitch for a bit of shopping. Rix was quite excited about the possibility. Who wouldn?t be excited about dressing up Hodge?!?! Hodge was quick to say that she wouldn?t use Rix?s money for a shopping spree. WHAT?!?! Is she crazy??? What?s the point in dating a rich man if you can?t take full advantage of his wallet???

RhyDin?s Fashion Week is REALLY heating up!!! We hear that there?s quite the little after party at the Great Helm Tavern tonight at 8 in celebration of The Stitch!!! You better believe we?ll be there with bells on. You better be too!

Drama-Rouser Monday!

TRASH-tastic Jade was seen admiring a ruby that Aurthur had given Icer as an early Valentine?s Day gift Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn! We suppose that when you knock up your dragon-woman as many times as Aurthur does, it?s necessary to go BIG for Valentine?s Day. Playboy Demon Damien was present to watch Jade?s excitement over Icer?s gift. That sets the bar pretty high for him, no??? We?re sure Damien can manage! He?ll just have to lay on the charm pretty thick! It?s always seemed to have worked for him in the past!!!

Oooooh! We knew those PAAAARRRTY girls would be drama-rousers! Although, Locke?s been seen keeping very close tabs on the lovely Atalanta recently, Monday night he was spotted in a booth, giving a necklace to her friend Chase!!! The two seemed to be in a pretty intense conversation. Oddly enough, he had the gumption to do this while Atalanta tended bar!!! Is Locke a playboy??? Maybe the conversation was about Atalanta?s ?troubles? as of late!!!

Chase was later seen strumming her guitar for the enjoyment of Quel who seemed QUITE attentive! The mage was seen kissing her cheek and rubbing her back. Like moths to a flame, huh???

It seems that things are certainly off between Potter Piper and Peredhil? and we are so sad about it that we cannot even get excited about Peredhil?s new find!!! What shall we do without Perry and Pipes?!?! Anyway, Peredhil was seen quietly chatting at the bar with Johnny?s lovely sister, Juliane. She?s certainly a blonde stunner!!! She certainly can?t be mistaken for a Piper look alike. Those are two very different women. The DIVINE Storm was seen talking with Peredhil quietly after Juliane left about the young woman. Our sources couldn?t catch the conversation but what we wouldn?t have given to be a fly on the wall then?!?!

We hear that Wyh Not was returned to the Inn after a scary kidnapping recently! CHARITY Jewell looked oh-so relieved to see her!!! While Wyh Not didn?t look great as she was tended to by CHARITY Jewell and Brian, she did appear to be okay. We wish her a speedy recovery and we can?t wait to see the Keeper of Water back up to form sometime very soon!!!

Speaking of Keepers, we hear the Celestial Keeper is up to his old tricks!!! While on duty calling duels, we hear that Venom Vinny was getting quite frisky with a saucy little lady named Darling. She was seen with her legs outstretched in his lap (which he, of course, couldn?t help but feel up on more than one occasion) and when Esper reminded Vinny that he?s a married man, the woman merely made a joke of it!!! We have a feeling the Vinny?s wife isn?t going to be laughing!

Our sources have reported back to us that Bane, Jaycy?s possibly current/former husband, was spotted in the Outback Monday night!!! He kept quiet and to himself but fought a duel or two. He seemed to be in quite a somber mood and that?s really a bummer because he certainly seems like a nice guy. Here?s to hoping he FINALLY finds a nice girl!

It seems SUUUUPER Des is endorsing a candidate!!! She was overheard telling a room full of people (that included another gubernatorial candidate G?naughty G?nort) to vote for MAN-tastic Matt. And she?s not the only one! Luscious Lydia was also heard stating that Matt had her vote! It seems that Matt?s campaign is QUICKLY picking up steam!

DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy was seen in the Outback taking a break from Fashion Week festivities to indulge in a giant sandwich. We expected that she?d be a bit tired from her long week but she was upbeat and looking fiiiiiine! We bet she won?t be so peppy come Thursday or Friday!!! Yay for Fashion Week!!! We?ve been to so many fabulous runway shows already! We can hardly STAND the excitement!

We hear that Hottie Space Guy Chase was seen buying his Hottie Space Girl Alyson a drink Monday night in the Outback after one of her duels! We?re super glad to see the pair together and flirting!!! We?d almost believed this relationship had fizzled on out!

We hear that Speedster Nova had an?. interesting first meeting with Cutey Carley! She first accidentally hit him in the head with a mug and then went seriously fan girl on him!!! Evidently she had him confused for some sort of super hero and Speedster Nova was more than happy to let her. What men won?t do for a hot woman?s attention, right??? Well, once she figured it out, the elf let out a stream of curse words on Nova that would have made SMASHIN? Issy blush! His ?dear? friends Rix, Hawtie Hodge, and Smokin? Sartan were there to snicker of course. We think Nova?s ego might have been a bit hurt. After all, he is a former baron, former opal, and was a TDL star!!! Haven?t you seen his shoe commercials??? Some day poor Nova?s going to get some lovin?!!!

For The Good Of The Family Tuesday!

Early Tuesday evening worlds collided in the Red Dragon Inn as Ayly, Soerl?s wife, met her husband?s former mistress?s friends ? AJ and Phillipe!!! While we?d been expecting AJ to go all knock-down/drag-out on behalf of her friend the interaction was actually quite pleasant. The two women seemed to get along charmingly. That is until Phillipe reminded us why we gave him the moniker ?The Bum? in the first place!!! He choose that particular moment in the middle of the Inn to douse his unsuspecting wife with a pitcher of water down the front of her top. Quite classy.

The bar was quite busy last night as Ayly slung drinks with the always lovely Amber! The Double A Team! We love the pair together! Amber provided the crowd with doughnuts and ready smiles while Ayly was there to keep the booze flowing and greet newcomers. Love it!

We hear that Soerl stopped in briefly to check on his wife but looked quite distracted. After barely any words passing between them and several short kisses, Soerl wandered out without much explanation!!! We?re desperately wondering just how much of his decision to leave Van was for the good of his child and how much of it was because he?s still in love with his wife!!!

Peredhil and Potter Piper were seen sitting by the hearth together but the vibe between them was most certainly tense! However, Peredhil escaped it to go join Juliane as soon as he spotted the sweet blonde. We love Juliane but, oh, how we weep for Perry and Pipes!!! After a quick word with DoD-er Rena, Potter Piper fled into the night. Our heart aches for her!!!

We have a feeling that we?re not the only ones disappointed. The DIVINE Storm was there in a booth with her yummy husband Ewan and we?ve got a feeling that she wants her friends happy TOGETHER almost as much as we do! However, we don?t think she was paying the least bit of attention to the unfolding drama around her. She and Ewan seemed to be quite over the moon about something and very into their own private conversation!

It seems that Ethan has gotten over his Atalanta crush! Thank the heavens for small favors! Maeve is so much more grounded than those PAAAARRRTY Girls. He was seen inspecting a gash that Maeve had received from one of the animals on her refuge and appeared quite concerned. The pair had a friendly, upbeat talk and there definitely appeared to be a connection there!

Living in this city very little seems odd anymore but Tuesday night?s challenge in the Outback for Moonberyl between the lizard-man Bran and a pink puffball named Jigglypuff was a bit? unusual to say the least! Mini-Frank Cor called the inter-species match-up while a small crowd watched on in confusion. Bran quickly proceeded to take the first to matches to defend the Moonberyl Opal and, thus, proved that lizards are better than?. puffballs?

Congratulations, Bran!

?The? Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan and his wife Rory were spotted together briefly in the Outback but didn?t quite squelch the rumors that he?s been getting busy with Jaycy! She didn?t appear all that pleased with him but, from our experience, pregnant women usually aren?t very pleased ever. She was overheard trying to convince her husband and SPEEDSTER Nova to let Nova?s daughter come to the dueling venues. The men were firmly against it! Are we the only ones that are dyyyying to see the product of a Nova/Shanni union???

Also present was HAWTIE Hodge and her new ?companion? Rix. The pair were still acting quite chummy!!! However, our sources did get the feeling that Hodge is a bit wary of that reputation of womanizing that Rix has gained over the years! You better be, sister! Keep your eyes on that one! The pair left the Outback together and we must mention that there was a report to the Watch of a streaker that fit Rix?s description (he does kind of stick out with that height and all) in the park accompanied by a brunette that fit Hodge?s description. We don?t buy that rumor, though!

Poor Luscious Lydia! It seems Fashion Week is taking quite the toll on her! We hear that she was seen in the Outback talking to G?naughty G?nort about the pressures of the week. She looked like she needed a good long soak in a bubble bath! We hear the girls are making quite the positive impression on Fashion Week among critics and buyers alike even if they don?t believe they cater to the more upscale population! You go, Lydia!

Wise Up Wednesday!

Pirate Girl Teagan and CHARITY Jewell were spotted admiring Teagan?s new baronial ring Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn!!! We think CHARITY Jewell may have had a bit of jewel envy! Could Jewell be the next hot lady searching to move up the ranks in the Arena??? She?s already made quite a SPLASH in there through the Talon tournaments!

Remember how we said that Playboy Damien had a biiiig job on his hands to impress TRASH-tastic Jade for Valentine?s Day after she saw Icer?s gift from her mate??? Well, it got worse! Brandon was seen giving her a box with car keys to a hot new ride! Damien was certainly looking a biiiiit troubled! How IS he going to impress TRASH-tastic Jade??? She is certainly a full-on princess. He better start planning NOW!

Brandon didn?t stop there with the gifts! Evidently, he found a way to make his ?lady friend? Lyren a bracelet that protects her from the sun. She was certainly thrilled with it! And he got a kiss for his hard work! However, we were left wondering just why Brandon has such a fascination with vampire ladies???

Another question that?s been on our minds ? why is it that whenever our sources spot Blue Haired Bimbo Harris he?s macking on some woman that?s not his wife??? He was seen in the Inn getting to know Cass a bit better but Cass didn?t seem all that thrilled to be getting to know him better! Unfortunately for her, he wasn?t the only man to be paying her attention. Brale Brother Baker also had eyes out for her! We hear that Klinton also showed to heckle Harris for harrassing women. We think Klinton should follow Harris around no matter where he goes doing just that! That would make us happy!

Trinala the Crazy Pixie was overheard shooting DoD-er Rena questions on a date with an unknown man that she?s supposed to go out on!!! The Pixie knows this and we don?t!!! We?re soooo embarrassed?. and considering hiring her! Rena didn?t seemed too excited about this date but when is she ever excited about anything??? Later she was seen at a table having a drink with a man that we couldn?t indentify. Could this be the mystery date???

PAAAARRTY Girl Chase and Mage Quel were seen cuddling close later in the night as Quel seemed to console Chase over something. He totally seems to be falling hard over the pretty girl. Pleeeeeaaaase wise up, man! That girl and her friend are ticking time bombs of disaster! One of these days their hard partying ways are going to get someone seriously hurt!

You know it?s not often that we run across classy men in this city but Bane has to be on the short list! This single dad was overheard asking fellow hottie dad Kheld if he?d seen his current/former wife Baroness of Dockside/Little Black Book Jaycy around. We?re sure she?s somewhere whoring up the city!!! Kheldar gave him limited information and it certainly seemed that Bane was a bit worried. However, he was seen playfully getting to know Myria Graziano a little bit better in the ring. You?ve got to get some of that, girl!

Interestingly enough, later into the night Single Dad Bane was seen joking around with ?The? Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan who is allegedly running around with his former flame and Bane?s current/former wife ? Jaycy! Sartan certainly didn?t pony up any information on the whereabouts of the mother of Bane?s child, though!

DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy and gobernatorial candidate MAN-tastic Matt came in straight from Fashion Week in New Haven and, Lordy, they were looking HAWT!!! Koy was in an amazing gray metallic dress with a rouched waist and sassy pencil skirt while her hubby was in a three-piece suit looking quite the gentleman?. considering he is a brawler! Quite the spiffy pair!

We had to hear it several times but our sources SWEAR that they spotted Hunky Carpenter Glenn hanging out in the Outback with Luscious Lydia, Cowboy Jake, and Big Britches Erin!!! We just can?t believe it!!! Hunky Carpenter Glenn is soooo non-violent! He certainly wasn?t seen in any rings but did seem happy to be surrounded by old friends and making new ones. He was seen joking with SPEEDSTER Nova?. which really seems to us like a clash of two opposing worlds! But we certainly wish we were there to see the pair interact!

Cowboy Jake, on the other hand, was NOT making friends. Big Britches Erin?s boyfriend managed to seriously tick off ?The? Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan who ordered him into a ring!!! Evidently Cowboy Jake talked a bit too much trash to the egotistical King of the Hill in the Outback which led to a ?? GRUDGE MATCH!!! The boys really went swinging at one another and Cowboy Jake actually did pretty well! He walked away with the win and the pair walked out talking as if they were old friends!!! Not a single bit of tension! Boys will be boys, we suppose!

Cringe Worthy Thursday!

Seeing that Manly Tender Tucker and sweet Eva together gives us the tingles right in our itty bitty black heart!!! Eva was seen at the bar Thursday night while Tucker was tending which makes us oh so happy! Tucker was kept much too busy to chat up hiw lovely crush and Eva seemed to have business of her own. She was seen getting assistance from DoD-er Rena in helping to find a new place. Eva seemed to have a bit of a cold! We bet that Tucker taking care of her will make her feel muuuuch better!

The mystery has been solved!!! The unknown dater?s name is Aaron and he did indeed ask DoD-er Rena out on a date. But the news gets even juicer!!! Evidently the pair is moving quite fast. Rena was overheard telling Pixie Trinala and Potter Piper that she?s actually let this Aaron character move in with her!!! ALREADY??? We thought that Potter Piper would use that good head on her shoulders and stop the madness but she said NOTHING. We don?t know anything about this guy! Le sigh!

We?re telling you those PAAAARRTY Girls are trouble! Bad Boy Wil forgot about his whole ?new leaf? bit to flirt it up with Chase for a bit. When Keaton called them out on their antics, the pair laughed it up and mentioned that Chase was performing at Wil?s upcoming wedding. We don?t buy it!!! Wil was seen buying her shots and Chase even placed a kiss against Wil?s cheek and ruffled his hair. We don?t like this at all!!! Edible Eless needs to get Bad Boy Wil back in line!

Maeve knows just what to do with male suitors ? she puts them to work!!! It seems that Ethan has been helping out a lot on the refuge and we?re sure he?s not doing it because he?s an animal lover! If you want to spend time with that girl, you better not be afraid of getting your hands dirty. We hear the pair actually left together late into the night.

Typically, the Inn?s basement Arena isn?t the place to go if you?re looking for a good dash of cuteness! However, last night, Uriko and Luscious Lydia were spotted battling it out with a foam noodle against a staff. Neither lady looked like they were there for violence and the match seemed to be light-hearted. We HEART them both!!!

That?s certainly not to say there was a lack of violence. A handful of warlords were duking it out for peer wins! We?ve got a feeling that there might be a challenge or two upcoming!!! Aya was seen pressing for wins as well as former Overlords Cletus and SMOKIN? Sartan! We do hope they get serious. Man, do we love a good challenge!

Little Black Book/Baroness of Dockside Jaycy was certainly keeping to herself Thursday night!!! She almost seemed to be trying NOT to look at former/current lover, SMOKIN? Sartan! Her former/current husband Bane showed up and the pair had a quiet conversation. You know? typically, we?d love to know what was said but we have a feeling that this one was awkward enough to make even us cringe!!!

Dragon Hunting Season Friday!

Election day has arrived!!! So who are we voting for??? Well, we?ve been torn until the last couple days between several candidates but we don?t believe it should be any secret as to who we have chosen!!! We feel it best to elect the most SCANDELICOUS candidate! We need someone who will keep us JUST as busy blogging as The Gov Kitty did! And who would that be??? Well, G?naughty G?nort of course!!!

OMG!!! Speaking of the G?naughty one, have you heard that he was spotted as Luscious Lydia?s DATE at her fashion show and the after party that followed??? We are soooooo DYING!!! We wanted Luscious Lydia to find a nice guy. We just don?t think G?naughty G?nort fits the ?nice? part of that equation.

Speaking of the after party for The Stitch?s runway show at the Great Helm Tavern, Luscious Lydia somehow even convinced Hunky Carpenter Glenn to show up for a bit and support them! We hear that the show and the party were a SMASHING success!!! Despite DoD-er Rena?s reputation as a bit of a tomboy, she was seen at the after party and has been seen at a handful of the Fashion Week festivities! We believe that deep down she?s a fashionista after all! Frisky Rix was spotted accompanying the lovely Hodge to the party and even SPEEDSTER Nova was seen at the party speaking with Big Britches Erin!!! Iiiiinteresting, no? Cowboy Jake was NOT seen but SPEEDSTER Nova WAS seen! We?re telling you! We want to see Big Britches Erin and Speedster Nova hook up. The sarcasm factor would be too much to stand!!!

Aurthur and Icer were seen in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night announcing that one of their six eggs had hatched! Both seemed quite proud and were anxious for the arrival of the other five little dragon rugrats. We wonder how they find new names for all of them! ?..And, yes, we?re already preparing our petition for the new governor (whomever that may be) to open up a dragon hunting season!

We were amused GREATLY by cat-girl Rika giving Playboy Demon Damien a difficult time!!! Evidently she sternly lectured him for not letting her pounce him while TRASH-tastic Jade soothed her hurt feelings. HIGH-larious! Playboy Demon Damien just doesn?t seem to be adjusting to TRASH-tastic Jade?s crazy friends and their antics!!!

The O?Corr boys are so good at making friends! Chuckie managed to royally tick off the tender on duty, Antonio, within about five minutes of walking into the Inn!!! Raye saved the day by intervening to make sure Chuckie got the drink he wanted and led him away from the bar where his foul language wouldn?t reach Antonio?s ears!!! The way the two of them were fawning all over one another, we think there might be a little somethin?-somethin? going on!!!

A grand party gathered together later into the evening! Oh, how we wish we were one of their number! The lovely Sianna, her man Johnny, and her brother Hudson were all catching up with the DIVINE Storm and the classy Sylvia! The group discussed the upcoming Carnival which we are way too excited for!!! The opening parades begin on the 20th and the final ball is on the evening of the 23rd!!! Can you only imagine the number of dashing fellows and beautiful belles (not to mention the JUICY gossip) that party will collect???

We?re Not Worthy Saturday!

Saturday night in the Red Dragon Inn started off just the way we like it!!! Frank was seated at the bar surrounded by two vivacious young ladies ? AJ and Tarna. Now AJ?s a married woman but she certainly seems to spend quite a bit of time at Frank?s side while Tarna has been seen flirting it up with the big man recently. Tarna seemed to be trying to make it clear that Frank was HER man as Frank introduced the pair!!! We think if the ladies were dogs they may have been peeing on Frank?s leg to mark their territory!!!

Potter Piper and DoD-er Rena still seemed a bit down in the dumps but seemed to be keeping their chins up as they discussed Misfit business Saturday night. Both lovely ladies have been burned in love and our hearts break for them!!! Doc Eva, who still appeared a bit under the weather, joined the ladies shortly after and talked about the Doc?s house hunt!

A late surge of support for gubernatorial candidate MAN-tastic Matt seems to have taken over the city!!! There?s word that The Stitch is offering a ten percent discount on clothes for anyone who promises to cast their vote in his favor which is certainly interesting since Big Britches Erin has campaigned HARD in G?naughty G?nort?s favor and Luscious Lydia took G?naughty G?nort as her date to some of the Fashion Week celebrations!!!

And we know the reason for the momentum switch from G?naughty G?nort to MAN-tastic Matt! We hear that Luscious Lydia TOTALLY went off on G?naughty G?nort Saturday night in the Inn?s basement Arena for suggesting to reporters that they were an item. That, folks, is the explanation for the sudden change in The Stitch?s allegiance! It seems that Luscious Lydia was NOT at all happy to be linked in the press with G?naughty G?nort and gave him what for!!!

Saturday night, another of G?naughty G?nort?s employees in the same of his TDL star Baroness of Old Temple Teagan was seen campaigning for MAN-tastic Matt!!! OMG! G?nort?s going to flip his wig!!! Teagan entered the Inn at Matt?s side and announced that anyone who promised to vote for MAN-tastic Matt would get a kiss from here!!! Too bad Robert wasn?t there for that one! We bet he?d be swayed away from even his brother?s No Confidence scheme.

Badsider Brew spokesmodel, DoD-er PJ Ramirez, made an appearance in the Arena Saturday night looking WAY ready to transition into maternity wear! She looked just about ready to pop out of her cute clothes. Don?t fight the full panel jeans, sister!!! She was seen keeping a VERY close eye on the youngest Graziano boy ? Tony.

One of the Arena?s newest warlords, Joex, was overheard discussing his plans for challenging once his peer win hunt is complete!!! It seems that Overlord Roland has gained a fan in the young gun as he stated that he does not wish to challenge one of the Overlord?s loyal barons. That Overlord Roland is one of the most popular overlords that the Arena has seen in YEARS!!! And has anyone else noticed that all but one of his loyal barons are females??? Overlord Roland has a waaaay with the ladies!

Legendary duelist AJ Bird entered the Arena late into the night to the thrill of anyone who is a fan of the history of the sport!!! SPEEDSTER Nova was overheard teasing Frisky Rix about his inability over the years to beat AJ when Hottie Hodge suggested that Frisky Rix and AJ duel. That?s what friends are for, right??? To remind you of your failures. You?ve gotta love Speedster Nova!

We?re way upset that we weren?t there to see AJ (arguably one of the Arena?s most storied barons) in person!!! We hear that Joex even had the honor of dueling him! MAJOR! If we?d been there, we?d so have been all ?WE?RE NOT WORTHY!!!?

Overheard Around Town!

- ?Cause the Ravenlocks don?t do the media.? ?.or at least that?s what Brian says. Has he met CHARITY Jewell???

- ?A date? We did not even make anyone walk the plank. How is that a date?? Pirate Girl Teagan to the One and Only Robert!

- ?Why can?t we have ?Tool Week? or maybe ?Manly Sword Week??? Gav?s reaction to his wife?s excitement over attending Fashion Week!

- ?What?s so wrong with how he looks? Granted, he may not run but he can reach tall shelves. There?s nothing wrong with being somewhat big.? Hodge was overheard saying about Rix who (while a bit on the pudgy side) is quite tall. And really isn?t reaching things on tall shelves all that a man is really needed for?

- ?Hmmm. You think word got around I shot someone last week in here and that is keepin? ?em away?? SUUUUPER Des muling over the lack of patrons on a Tuesday night.

- ?Rand?s pickup lines are pretty awful since he got that manor. ?Hey, come check out my spa baby. The Natty Ice is on tap.?? Smokin? Sartan about the Baron of New Haven Rand.

- ? So? he tells you he?s not into commitment. But then he turns around and gets a lifemate. Essentially saying he?s alright with commitment, but not to you. And you?re still his friend? Are you a tile floor or something? Laid right the first time and he can walk on you for life?? The Gov Kitty giving dating advice?!?! How awesome! She so needs her own article in the Oracle doing this on a regular basis!

- ?My wife?s fingers aren?t so special, but her tongue makes up for it.? This one can be blamed on Anastas. No further comment needed, right?

- ?Oh, the Oracle. I use to line my kid?s hamster cage. Guess that explains why the hamster keeps trying to commit suicide.? Buuuuurn! Amal is going to spank Nova for this one!

- ?Oh dear god ye really do ?ave a death wish dun ye? I dun know ?ow ye can find ?er sae sexy ?er feet stink li?e week old fish left out in the sun.? Stephen to Robert about SMASHING Issy!

SPOTTED Sunday!

We are now proud to present your TWENTY-SECOND Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled ?

SPOTTED:

- Wild Child Alex storming out of the Red Dragon Inn after exchanging brisk words with her crush, Newt, Sunday night!!! She certainly wasn?t the wild and spunky Alex that we?ve come to know and love to dish about!

- Bad Boy Wil and PAAAARRRTY Girl Chase together at the bar talking quietly and intimately. Chase was even seen sitting in Wil?s lap and he had his hands all over her legs!! We?re really not buying that Bad Boy Wil and PAAAARRRTY Girl Chase are ?just friends?! In fact, if we were Edible Eless, we?d be giving Bad Boy Wil his walking papers!

- DoD-er Rena was heard mentioning later in the night to their group of Merry Misfits that Bad Boy Wil had mentioned he might postpone the wedding!!! Poor Edible Eless! It sounds like he?s definitely having cold feet about turning over a new leaf.

- PAAAARRRTY Girl Atalanta flirting it up with a taken man of her own in Ranger Hawk! These girls just can?t stay away from other women?s men, can they??? A tense moment erupted when Chase interrupted the pairing to exchange sharp words with Atalanta. Who knows why? These girls are such major head cases!

- Warrior Pixie Trinala tiny no longer! It seems that Tass helped her tap into her own magic which allowed her to grow to just a hair over five feet!!! We hear she?s got the same crazy spunk that she did when she was three inches tall, though!

- Julien and SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee disappearing off together! Kairee just keeps going back to that one!!! He must be awfully special!

- Wyh Not was seen in the Arena looking quite a bit better. However, she was not quite the stunner of before. We bet she just needs a couple more weeks to heal and she?ll be back to her old self!!! She was seen chatting and resting with her old friends. It?s great to see her in public again!!!

- Perry and Pipes! Actually getting along! The pair spoke intimately along with DoD-er Rena and Warrior Pixie Trinala. Peredhil and Potter Piper certainly seemed to have patched things up and were exchanging some smoldering looks. We?re just dyyyying for them to kiss already!

- Johnny with two of the lovely women in his life ? Sianna and Juliane ? at the bar! The happy party was busy discussing family matters when Peredhil joined them briefly. We may have judged wrong about Juliane having a thing for Peredhil! She barely seemed to look at him while he chatted with Sianna and Johnny. Or perhaps she?s just shy???

- SUUUUPER Des behind the bar with her husband, Gav, as he tended! It seems that SUUUUPER Des is still voting for MAN-tastic Matt for Governor as well!!! She was overheard greeting the candidate when he entered and endorsing him to the crowded room!

- The Gov Kitty cuddling with her man, Tass! She was overheard saying that she?s already cleared out her office and seemed quite thrilled that this would mean more time with Tass!!!

- SPEEDSTER Nova and Big Britches Erin entering together and Big Britches Erin giving Speedster Nova a hard time for being a ?tease?!!! Could our wish for the Sarcastic Dream Team have finally come true??? We doubt it but we can still hope.

- Frisky Rix paying way more attention to a box of donuts than to Hottie Hodge!!! We?re telling you ? this relationship does NOT have much of a shelf life. That?s why you stay away from guys with reputations like his, sweetie!

Melt Down Monday!

OMG! Wild Teen Alex is causing some major problems between newlyweds The Bum Phillipe and AJ! The pair got in a major BLOW OUT Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn over some stunt that Alex pulled. Phillipe seemed determined to send her back to her parents and was seen throwing bottles around while the paired hollered at one another!!! The fight gained quite the crowd of onlookers who tried to offer help as Phillipe proceeded to get falling down drunk and AJ sobbed at the bar. Our sources say they were later seen kissing and making up. Blah, blah, blah.

It seems that all is well between the two PAAAAARRRTY Girls again! Atalanta was tending bar and seen giving her ?dear friend? Chase a very warm welcome. We?re just saying, these girls are MAJOR trouble. Just wait until they have their claws in the very same guy! The fireworks will fly!

We were wondering why the Inn had been so toned down as of late! It seems that Rhy has been off designing clothes (?and we?re guessing it?s not for the same clients that DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy or the ladies of The Stitch cater to) and hasn?t had time to assault the Inn with her antics. Well, that changed last night as she was spotted jumping on Frat Boy Dean and making quite the lovey dovey reunion scene!!!

Krazy Kitty (you didn?t just think we?d call her Kitty now, did you?) was belly up to the bar celebrating the end of her political career with anyone and everyone! She even seemed happy to see Blue-Haired Bimbo Harris and invited him over for a drink. We here at the Gossip Gangster Den would just like to thank Krazy Kitty for a year full of juicy gossip and delicious digs!!! Here?s to a governor that can fill your sweet shoes!!!

MAN-tastic Matt was seen at the bar with his ex-wife, Ginger! Maybe DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy?s work schedule has finally become more than the ?old man? can take!!! Or perhaps they were just discussing visitation for their shared children?. but that?s so much less dish-worthy!

We hear that Ewan, the DIVINE Storm, and Potter Piper were seen having a secretive conversation at the bar! Our sources were sadly unable to catch the topic of discussion but possibilities have run rampant here at the Den!!! No worries, loyal readers! We?ll sniff this one out for you!

AJ and Phillipe?s melt down was the topic of discussion in the Outback as well Monday night!!! DoD-er Rena was overheard saying that the argument started over how to deal with Wild Teen Alex after her boyfriend, Newt, was found just in his underwear in her room!!! OMG!!! SUUUUPER Des, who married the pair, seemed a bit in the dumps that they were already having issues in their marriage.

We think it?s time for AJ and The Bum Phillipe to schedule a marriage counseling session with Chryrie! She can fix ANYTHING!

Perhaps it was all the talk of troubled and failing marriages in the Outback that caused SUUUUPER Des to hop into her husband Gav?s arms when he walked through the door! Yeah, right. This pair is so mushy that they?re enough to make Cupid puke!!!

Myria?s certainly a bit rough around the edges and often seems more interested in punching a man than talking to one. However, she has been seen several times in Bane?s company, having something that very nearly resembles a normal conversation!!! We wonder if the youngest Graziano has a thing for the hot single dad! Later in the night, though, Bane was seen chatting up a cute unknown blonde!!! We have no idea who she is but we will find out!

Elf Rage Tuesday!

Perhaps we were quick to rush to judgment that Soerl was regretting his decision to leave his cute little lover to return to his wife! The couple was spotted discussing their Valentine?s Day plans Tuesday evening in the Red Dragon Inn as Soerl kept Ayly company as she tended the bar. Have we mentioned how much we looooove when Amber and Ayly tend bar together??? While Ayly charmed the customers with her wit, Amber charmed them with her baking skillz, providing candy hearts she had made each with a special holiday greeting!

Krazy Kitty was seen at the bar PAYING FOR HER OWN DRINKS!!! Will wonders never cease??? It seems that now that she is just a lowly plebeian like the rest of us, she feels she should return to paying her bar tab! Now that she has officially passed the weight of the title over to MAN-tastic Matt, she was seen chatting happily with the lovely Sylvia about her freedom from the yoke of political office and just exactly what she plans to do with it.

PAAAAARRRTY Girl Chase was belly up to the bar pounding hard liquor most of the night by herself!!! Somebody needs to stop this girl! She?s going to drink herself into a very early grave. We?re actually not amused by her antics anymore. We?re just sad. She must be one lonely girl to have to seek acceptance in the bottom of a shot glass! Her friends need to stop encouraging her bad behavior and GET HER HELP!

The night was NOT good for Cutie Carley! She lost a tough one in the Outback to Myria and flipped off the caller, Mini-Frank Cor, for one of his calls which she found offensive. To make matters worse CHARITY Jewell, who was in the Outback looking FIERCE in leather pants and a halter top, also took the opportunity to hassle the cute blonde! She then proceeded to get in quite the verbal spat with G?naughty G?nort that led to an onslaught of traded insults.

Cutey Carley was in full on range by the time she marched herself into the Inn!!! She was overheard cursing and ranting and when Brale Brother Baker made the mistake of teasing her about her mood, he got doused in a drink!!! Brale Brother Baker seemed more shocked and confused than angry! We?re all shocked and confused!!!

The Gov MAN-tastic Matt knows how to WORK it! He entered the Inn with DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy on his arm to a round of congratulations from some of RhyDin?s finest, including Awesome Alain who is probably desperately wondering if his company will still be getting all of those lucrative contracts now that there?s a new governor in town! Not everyone was happy to see him, however! Cutey Carley was overheard calling Koy ?Fancy Pants? and presenting a list of ?suggestions? to the new governor. What we wouldn?t do to get our hands on that list!!! The confrontation turned into a real nasty verbal fashion debate between Cutey Carley and DoD-er Koy!!! WE LOVE IT!!!

Yay! Although, reports had come in that S?jira had been spotted around the Inn, we finally had proof positive Tuesday night! She was seen in the company of Head Pussy Panther who seemed to be quite attentive to her needs!!! It was good to see S?jira spending time in the company of her friends, including Potter Piper and Peredhil!

It was a night FULL of great news evidently! Our sources were diligent to the cause and we have discovered The DIVINE Storm?s news!!! She is PREGNANT!!! How fantastic! According to our sources, she is just out of the trying first trimester and is due this coming fall! There?s going to be so many late summer/early fall babies! We just cannot wait! CONGRATULATIONS, Ewan and Storm! And isn?t that awfully good work by Ewan to knock his wife up that quickly??? We?re sure he was eager to get to the baby-making. Wouldn?t you be if you were married to her???

Dragon Skin Purse Wednesday!

Valentine?s Day came a bit earlier for DoD-er Rena! She was seen hanging out in the Inn with her new man/roommate Aaron. There seemed to be a bit of chemistry but the pair seemed a bit awkward in each other?s company. Warrior Pixie Trinala lightened the mood with her usual antics! We?re just not quite sure if these two are going to hit it off.

Especially since DoD-er Rena was later heard buying into Uriko?s idea for a Singles? Day on March 14th!!! We think the idea is totally FAB! Uriko wants the married/taken couples to donate so that the booze can flow for the singles on that day. We have a feeling that we?ll have to have our sources ship shape on that night! Free booze and a room full of singles??? Sounds like a gossip blogger?s dream!!!

Sianna was looking casual but HAWT when she strolled on into the Inn on her Johnny?s arm! He sure knows he has to keep that one close. We would say that it appeared that the pair was on an early Valentine?s Day date but, in all actuality, they are this disgustingly mushy ALL THE TIME!!! They were in a fine mood as they shared a bottle scotch and laughed together into the night.

We really should put DoD-er Rena on our payroll! Our sources say that she was interrogating Peredhil on the status of his relationship with Potter Piper!!! We hear that he didn?t reveal much but it?s nice to know that their friends haven?t given up on them. Perry and Pipes FOREVAR!

Tucker was seen on an unusual side of the bar as he was seen in the Inn off duty! He evidently had a VERY intense conversation with his ?gal pal? Doc Eva about her choice of profession. Word on the street is that if you need to be patched up and don?t want the authorities to know about it, she?s the person to seek out!!! Clearly, her contact with RhyDin?s?. most interesting characters has Tucker in protector mode.

OMG! Major fan boy LOVE! We hear that Altara was spotted in the Outback!!! Now she?s a one of a kind hottie! Her trouble maker of a lover?/companion?/husband?, Max accompanied her. We totally HEART her and her leather clad body! FIERCE!

Cutey Carley was in the Outback getting into shape for her upcoming ?challenge? against DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy. As a result of their argument the other night, it appears that Cutey Carley has called out Koy for a match that?s scheduled for this coming Sunday! Hot babes fighting = MAJOR CROWD! Cutey Carley STILL had not finished trash talking Koy and Bran was even over heard getting in on the dissing of the fashion designer for wearing reptile skins. We can see how that wouldn?t go over so well with a lizard-man!

Perhaps we can interest Koy in our Dragon Hunting Season! Dragon skin purses will be all the rage next season! Just you wait!

Valentine?s Day Thursday!

What would Valentine?s Day be without couples and presents and gooey looks exchanged back and forth?!?! PAAAARRRTY Girl Chase played sober long enough to exchange gifts with her mage, Quel. He seems thoroughly enthralled by the musician!!! And we just cannot figure out why!!! He seems so understated and quiet and she?s so?. well, a PAAAARRRTY Girl. Whatever floats his boat!

They weren?t the only one that were getting it on cupid-style! Wolv was seen laying it on THICK to a hot brunette named Aly. Perhaps we haven?t been paying enough attention to the goings-on at 1407 Grayskull Lane but we could have sworn that Wolv had a girl and it wasn?t this spicy chick. Either way, it appears that Wolv has ample, uh, distractions to make him forget his gubernatorial loss.

Tucker was on his usual side of the bar on Thursday night but that didn?t keep him from shooting some longing looks towards Doc Eva who was seated at the bar!!! Just the night before the pair had quite the tense confrontation about her profession but the HEAT between the pair is still seriously thick!

We knew that we could trust Krazy Kitty not to assault us with a love fest!!! She was seen belly up to the bar (has she been in any other position since she earned her freedom?) making fun of Blue-Haired Bimbo Harris! She was laughing and just as happy and thrilled as she has been since her engagement was announced. Her good mood is almost contagious!

Evidently Lupton was short on a Valentine this year (THAT has to be a first) as he was in the Inn?s basement Arena catching up on Arena politics with Black Book/Baroness of Dockside Jaycy!!! We can?t believe that Jaycy didn?t have a date lined up for the night!!! Perhaps that is what she was out searching for but she didn?t find it in the Arena. She ended up leaving alone!

Cross A Pregnant Woman And Die Friday!

Friday night in the Red Dragon Inn, The DIVINE Storm (who we just recently found out is KNOCKED UP) was seen in a very intense conversation with an unknown male!!! She seemed to be pleading him for something and was even seen gripping his hands. It appears she did not get what she wanted because, a short time later, she was spotted storming out of the Inn. You just don?t cross pregnant women!!! They will go off on you!!!

Chryrie was seen at the bar speaking quietly to Darkmere. She certainly didn?t look up to her normal cheerful self! Our sources tell us that she was overheard telling him that she missed her husband who is away on a trip!! Aww, poor Chryrie!!! It?s never fun to be separated from the one you love around Valentine?s Day!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Who was that mystery brunette that Locke was seen chatting with late into the night??? The pair certainly seemed to be getting along grandly and our sources tell us that Locke seemed VERY open with the woman!!! We have a feeling that PAAAARRRTY Girl Atalanta will NOT be happy with this development! Maybe Locke finally woke up and realized how much trouble those girls are!

Tass and Krazy Kitty were getting interrogated AGAIN by their friends as to the details of their wedding ? where? when? The pair were still quite mum on the issue much to the chagrin of Alysia! Hey, when Alysia asks a question, you don?t play coy, Tass! For the most part, Krazy Kitty and Tass seem much more interested in groping on one another than nailing down details to their wedding!

Downstairs in the Inn?s basement Arena some sibling love was in full swing as Tony and Myria Graziano duked it out in a ring!!! Myria took a closely fought win and impressed her brother quite a bit we hear!!! In fact, we hear that we might just be seeing her as a Free Agent on behalf of the Crew next week!

We totally HEART when the duelists of old return for a bit of action and we were NOT disappointed Friday night!!! We hear that the 25th Overlord, Leto showed up and was seen in a ring with his old friend G?naughty G?nort! MAJOR!!! According to Swords? records, Leto had little rust and ended up taking a strong win!

What Woman G?nort Wants, G?nort Gets Saturday!

It seems that TRASH-tastic Jade and her Playboy Demon Damien are still going strong!!! The pair were spotted hanging all over one another in the Red Dragon Inn Saturday night. We must admit that since the incident with Atalanta, Playboy Demon Damien has been on his best behavior! Perhaps there is hope that they?ll last more than a month after all!

Potter Piper and DoD-er Rena were seen with their heads together discussing important Misfit business late into the night. Bad Boy Wil broke up the conference and it led to questions as to where his wife-to-be is hiding! Bad Boy Wil didn?t seem to know and, in fact, seemed more concerned with getting himself a drink!!! Somebody needs to find our Edible Eless!!! We?re feeling absolutely depressed without her.

Action was heavy in the Arena?. even for Mini-Frank Cor!!! It seems he somehow worked his way next to quite the HAWT little brunette! Our sources tell us her name is Adrienne and she?s quite new to town. She was spotted sitting next to Cor on the couch while he called and quietly explained the duels to her. Niiiiiice, Mini-Franker!

Mini-Franker has a bit of competition, though! We hear G?naughty G?nort had his eyes all over the hot new thing! ?And we all know that when it comes to women and G?nort, what G?nort wants, G?nort gets!

The Bum Phillipe better watch out the next time he gets into a heated argument with AJ! We hear the lovely lass was seen duking it out with CHARITY Jewell in the rings! She?s been seen in the Arena and Outback several times over the past month but this was the first time she?d been spotted in a ring. We LOVE the womenz who fight! Go, AJ! Even The Bum Phillipe showed up (late, of course) to support her.

Big Britches Erin was seen greeting SPEEDSTER Nova with some of that sarcastic flirty action that we totally HEART from the two of them! Why can?t they get it together and make out already??? We?re so dying for that. Unfortunately, Big Britches Erin seemed more interested in discussing Cutey Carley?s match against DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy with Luscious Lydia (which goes down tonight at 10, btw!!!) while SPEEDSTER Nova was busy hamming it up with his pal Hodge! Le sigh.

Hodge was later seen in the company of Rix and our sources tell us they were having ?the? conversation. You know the one that we mean. Are we a couple or are we not quite a couple yet??? We hear that no answer came out of the discussion. We?re telling you, Hodge, watch your back!!! That boy has some SERIOUS commitment issues!!!

Fashion Throw Down Sunday!

Le sigh. Will these girls never learn??? Rumor on the street is that Rocky Road Rhy and Frat Boy Dean are engaged. And just when you thought that they moved awfully fast, TRASH-tastic Jade and Playboy Demon Damien were overheard announcing their own engagement to Hina and Skid. OMG! He cheated on you less than a month ago for crying out loud!!! If you?re going to be a wet rag and take back a man after he cheats, you must at least make him pay for a couple months! There should be roses and jewelry and groveling!

The good news is that TRASH-tastic Jade hasn?t made it down the aisle with any of her other engagements and we don?t think that Playboy Demon Damien will fare any better. We don?t feel as confident about Frat Boy Dean and Rocky Road Rhy. She?s really got him suckered into thinking she?s half-sane.

We HEART Ewan! He?s such the gentleman! He was seen chatting with Sianna about her wedding plans. Rumors have the couple tying the knot sometime in the spring! What a grand, happy event that will be! We were nervous for the pair after such a short courtship but they have taken their time with the engagement and we might actually think that Sianna and Johnny might be one of those rare couples that last!!! Good for them for taking the time to get to know each other instead of racing down the aisle! As for Ewan, isn?t he going to make such a perfect daddy???

Head Pussy Panther seemed to be in a cranky mood when he was seen entering the Red Dragon Inn Sunday night and even had sharp words for several of the Inn?s rowdier patrons! However, after a couple shared intimate looks and quiet words from the lovely S?jira, he was back to a harmless kitten!!! We love that girl and we?re so glad she?s back among us! She may look meek and mild but it must take a strong woman to be able to keep Heady Pussy Panther in line!!!

CHARITY Jewell was in a fantastic mood while slinging drinks Sunday night! She explained her good mood to Alysia and later SMASHING Issy, saying her husband, Stephen, has been released for his anti-governmental activities and the pirate is free to steal, loot, rape, and pillage the city once again! Are we the only ones that believe that prison is where pirates belong??? CHARITY Jewell actually seemed proud of her wayward husband for spending time behind bars. Classy. Very classy.

Speaking of SMASHING Issy, how fantastic is it to see her in the Inn again??? It sounds as if her duties with the Scath-babes have kept her quite busy! In fact, she didn?t even take the night completely off from the business of keeping the city safe! She was overheard discussing crime with Lucky and Alysia. Take a night off, girlfriend! Let your hair down!

You know what we totally LOVE about Locke??? He?s one of the very few male jocks around here that really care about how he presents himself! He spent the early evening hours fitting in duels in the Annex and then late into the evening, he was seen looking smartly dressed in the Inn. We hear he was at the bar discussing possibly taking a tender position with SUUUUUPER Des!!! Move over Tucker! You may have some competition for the title of ?Hottest Tender Bachelor?!

To make the night even better, it seems that Locke may have learned his lesson about the PAAARRRTY Girls! While Chase and Atalanta were both in the bar, tittering amongst themselves, Locke barely acknowledged them!!! He eventually did join their table but the interaction seemed horridly awkward. Things certainly seem to have cooled down between him and PAAAAARRRTY Girl Atalanta. Thank goodness! He needs a good girl!

Things were busy in the Annex during Fight Night as well! The night started off with Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan exchanging harsh words with G?naughty G?nort for sitting on the couch with the caller on duty, Rory, who just so happens to be SMOKIN? Sartan?s wife! Now we have to admit that nobody really wants their wife spending extended time with G?naughty G?nort but SMOKIN? Sartan is constantly linked with Little Black Book/Baroness of Dockside Jaycy!!! That seems a bit hypocritical to us!

The Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan?s night didn?t get any better! In fact, he was seen exchanging harsh words with a good handful of people, including Blue-Haired Bimbo Harris and SPEEDSTER Nova. Nobody could quite figure out WHAT his problem was!!! Our vote is on ?Roid Rage! We?d love to know what sort of enhancements he?s taking!

Things did NOT go well for Cutey Carley in her Fashion Throw Down with DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy! The ladies went head-to-head in a best of three match-up but it only took two duels for Koy to bring the cute blonde elf doooooown! Quite a crowd had gathered but there was no mood or jello much to the dismay of many. Even Hunky Carpenter Glenn was present in the Annex to support his maybe/sorta/kinda girlfriend! Cutey Carley took quite the beating! She couldn?t even make it home! DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy offered her a room in the Outback and the lovely Hodge helped her get there. Needless to say, Cutey Carley will be glammed out in some serious duds over the next week.

?.And as for us, we?re already hoping for a REMATCH!!!

One Year Anniversary!

There?s a biiiiig party in the Super Secret Gossip GangSTAR Den today! The champagne is flowing! There is food every where we look! And none of our staff, including our Chihuahua Spot, are getting any work accomplished!

Why do you ask???

February 18th marks our first anniversary blogging in RhyDin! After three hundred and sixty five days, three hundred and seventy-one (?now three hundred and seventy-two) blog entries, and countless fan/hate mail, we?re still plugging away at this computer. We?re absolutely thrilled to have come to this wonderful city and be making a living reporting to you about its happenings!

We?d just like to thank our sponsors, the celebrities/heiresses/sports stars/bar flies who give us something to gab about, and our loyal fan base! Here?s to another ten juicy years!

Good Boys and Bad Girls Monday!

Lordy Lordy! If we didn?t know better we?d think that Brandon and Lyren were just too mushy and corny to be true! Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn, Lyren was overheard telling Brandon that she fell from heaven. Riiiiight. Vampires are just soooo angelic! Why do good boys have such a thing for bad girls???

Mini-Frank Cor and G?naughty G?nort aren?t the only men that have noticed the pretty Adrienne! Ethan was seen chatting up the gorgeous brunette at the bar?. at least until Maeve walked in with a kitten!!! Maeve and the kitten immediately had Ethan?s attention and, although, he politely continued his conversation with Adrienne, it was clear to our sources that there?s some chemistry in the air between he and the saucy Maeve!!! In fact, we hear that the pair left together Monday night to have dinner. Sounds like a date to us!

Who needs enablers??? The PAAAARRRTY Girls enable one another!!! Atalanta was behind the bar making sure that her dear friend Chase was provided with shot after shot. We hear Chase had her greedy eyes on Ranger Hawk!! OH NO, SHE DIDN?T!!! Amthy WILL go loco on her tail if she tries anything with her man! No worries, though. While the straight-laced, nice guys seem to keep getting suckered in by these girls, we doubt Hawk would ruin the AMAZING thing he has going with the beautiful Amthy!

Sylvia?s been spotted with Sianna?s brother, Hudson on several occasions and we hear that he?s been spending a good amount of time with her children as well. We?re certainly starting to become curious if there might be something going on here or if the two are merely close friends. We definitely have a hard time buying a Sylvia/Hudson pairing but we?re going to keep our eyes on it!!!

These synchronized appearances in dueling venues by SPEEDSTER Nova and Big Britches Erin have us wondering if they?ve FINALLY given into our demands to hook up! We hear that Nova was spotted entering the Outback just moments before Erin showed up to call some duels. Iiiiiinteresting! Of course, the flirty banter was on like a pot of neck bones!

Bane was seen spending a bit more one-on-one time with one of the younger Grazianos in Myria! They were seen at the bar where he bought her a bottle of water and took the time to get to know her a bit better. Bane better be careful! We don?t think those Graziano boys would be above pounding him into the ground for hitting on their sister!

Happy Go-Lucky Scath-Babe Tuesday!

Our sources are just dyyyying to know what Skid was whispering to Chase Tuesday night at the bar of the Red Dragon Inn! We hear he had such a mischievous look on his face that they are absolutely positive that he was up to no good! Hina better watch her man around those PAAAARRRTY Girls!!! If there?s one thing that we?ve learned about those girls, it?s that they?re not above stealing a man just for the heck of it!

Oooooh! Somebody in some major trouble! Luscious Lydia was overheard telling Hunky Carpenter Glenn that G?naughty G?nort signed her up as a free agent (aka sub) in a TDL match without her knowledge!!! Luscious Lydia was not thrilled at the idea of being made into a pin cushion! We hear that Luscious Lydia held her own, though, and quite nearly won! Good for her! G?naughty G?nort?s still in for a major talking to from the lovelier half of The Stitch, though.

What is wrong with SMASHING Issy?!?! She practically SKIPPED into the Inn, bought a round of drinks for the patrons, and went around talking about what a ?fantastically wonderful day? it was. This really frightens us! Truly, truly terrifies us! What is RhyDin without caustic, scary SMASHING Issy patrolling it?s streets with her Scath-Babes???

It turns out that the reason for her good mood was the news that Renna is in jail. We even hear that there are mobs screaming for her to be executed! We wonder if MAN-tastic Matt is going to have anything to say about that! SMASHING Issy and Krazy Kitty both seemed to agree that Renna was a vermin that should be dealt with IMMEDIATELY!!!
OMG! The Bum Phillipe spent most of the evening telling AJ just how much she means to him. What a bunch of sappy nonsense! We suppose even he is still stunned that he somehow convinced her to marry him. Perhaps she makes him say those things as she?s still making him repent for being over an hour late for their wedding!!! Our fingers are crossed that Alex remains excellent birth control for AJ. We?re still hoping that she wakes up and realizes what a mistake she?s made before she?s knocked up!

Mini-Frank Cor certainly does set his sights high when he goes after a woman! It seems he?s currently got a thing for the new girl Adrienne! She joined him to watch some fists duels while he called Tuesday night in the Outback and he was seen getting more than an eyeful of her pretty frame. Who could really blame him, though??? That girl is certainly SMOKIN?!

As further proof that many of the dueling venues? athletes have made faaaar too much in their dueling careers, SPEEDSTER Nova was overheard making fun of The Diamond SMOKIN? Sartan?s yacht for not being fast enough!!! What??? It?s a yacht! Isn?t the point of a yacht to fill it with half-naked women sunbathing and more bottles of champagne than you can count??? Why does it need to go fast too?!?! Sheesh, professional athletes!

DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy seems quite turned on by the fact that she?s now married to the Governor of RhyDin!!! She certainly seemed quite pleased with her man, The Gov MAN-tastic Matt Tuesday night when the pair was spotted together in the Outback where Matt was calling a handful of duels. We never figured DoD-er Koy to be the type of lady to be attracted to power but our interns insist that EVERY woman is attracted to power!!!

Babes-Of-Honor Wednesday!

We hear that TRASH-tastic Jade announced Wednesday night in the Red Dragon Inn that Cas (the woman, not the Roman) and Rhy would be her maids of honor for her upcoming Unholy Union to Playboy Demon Damien. Cas and Rhy as maids??? Isn?t that a bit of a stretch for those girls??? Perhaps TRASH-tastic Jade should just call her attendants babes-of-honor. It would be much more accurate and wouldn?t sully their dirty reputation by insinuating that the girls are anything resembling maidens.

Frat Boy Dean was seen later with his arms around Rocky Road Rhy as it seems their engagement is still on. Where are his fellow frat boys and why aren?t they pointing out that it?s waaaay too soon??? What?s wrong with a good long courtship before committing yourself FOR LIFE to a girl?!?! Le sigh! The pair giggled and hammed it up?. much to the dismay of our sources who had just eaten.

It appears that Grem is looking to forget the pain of losing Luscious Lydia by burying himself in the?. uh, assets of another lovely young lady! He was seen seriously flirting it up with some classy little broad. Our sources didn?t catch her name but she didn?t stick around all that long?. which was probably a good thing if Grem hopes to have any chance with her considering that Luscious Lydia walked in accompanied by Hunky Carpenter Glenn shortly after! Grem looked like he wanted to crawl under the table and die! Yet, Lydia NEVER seemed to even look his way!!! When those Stitch girls move on, they really MOVE ON.

Grem was later seen catching up with Krazy Kitty and what she?s been up to since he?s been away. He seemed more than confused when she began to describe her arrangement with Tass in regards to bringing other women home to share!!! A classic sense of manners and marriage makes us like that looker even more!

Perhaps with hopes of getting a bit closer to his crush Atalanta, Locke is the newest tender in the Red Dragon Inn!!! Quite the hottie!!! He was seen slinging drinks with SUUUUPER Des Wednesday night much to the delight of all the laaaadies! They need some good looking male tenders to counter all the FABULOUS females!

Property Of Thursday!

It seems Venom Vinny?s wife, Querylon, decided to check up on exactly what gets him into so much trouble in the Red Dragon Inn! Thursday night she arrived looking FIERCE and he was certainly more than a little surprised!!! Not so surprisingly, Venom Vinny began throwing back his alcohol a bit quicker. That boy?s such TROUBLE!!! We think she should just tattoo ?Property of Querylon? to his forehead and hopefully she won?t have to worry about what he?s up to anymore.

Lordy! We sure hope Head Pussy Panther makes Awesome Alain pony up some significant funds for all the clean up work the staff is CONSTANTLY having to do to get rid of all the blood that Alain loses on the floor of the Inn. He stumbled in from the back alley bleeding again and PAAAARRTY Girl Chase managed to clear her drunken stupor long enough to help the private eye out. SMASHING Issy arrived and she and Awesome Alain had an intense conversation about? well, the usual ? murder, mayhem, typical RhyDin chaos.

No worries, though. SMASHING Issy?s on the case and she?s back to her kick tail self!

Well, we sure thought that Luscious Lydia was over Grem but she was heard dishing to G?naughty G?nort that she?d felt conflicted when seeing her ex!!! While that?s not all that surprising to us what is surprising to us is that Lydia chose to have a heart-to-heart with G?naughty G?nort!!! Wasn?t there someone better suited for the task??? Like, you know, someone with a heart! These two seem to be getting awfully close and we?re a bit suspicious about it!

Body Paint and A Smile Friday!

It?s been a while since we?ve spotted Deadbeat Dad Alex but there he was in the Red Dragon Inn Friday night!!! Of course, his new fling Jalleia was there at his side. The pair seemed to be arguing but we believe that?s just Alex?s version of foreplay! That man must have sooooome kind of charm! He?s constantly wrangling in the HAWT women! Work it, boy!!!

Perhaps Querylon should have listed to us about that tattoo! Her husband, Venom Vinny, was spotted at the bar with TRASH-tastic Jade in his lap. Although the pair has been longtime friends, she?s still not the type of woman that you should let hang on your husband! We?re just WAITING to see Querylon march herself into the Inn and yank Jade off Vinny?s lap by her hair. How fabulous would that be???

However, the cattiness didn?t come from Vinny?s wife but from another of his ?lady friends?!!! Darling sauntered her way in and did NOT seem too pleased that Venom Vinny was getting attention from TRASH-tastic Jade as well as Lyren! In fact, she had several backhanded compliments for Jade. MEOW!

Antonio was overheard talking to CHARITY Jewell about a show she owes him in body paint and a smile ?er what??? It certainly was the night of the playboy men!!! To make the night even more mind-blowing, this whole conversation was happening with CHARITY Jewell on Antonio?s lap!!! Now we know that Stephen is the dumb, trusting type but we have a feeling that even he won?t be thrilled with his wife?s antics this time around!

SMASHING Issy was spotted later in the night looking in definite need of a couple stiff drinks and a good night?s sleep! She was seen chatting with CHARITY Jewell but didn?t seem in the mood to talk of whatever was on her mind. We have a feeling it had to do with the mess of the night before?. but murder and mayhem certainly isn?t our area of expertise! We?ll leave that to SMASHING Issy!

We hear Lucien was in a spicy mood Friday night!!! He was overheard exchanging words with Veighn and keeping an eye on the lovely Taneth. We love him in protective mode!!! Too HAWT for words! After Veighn disappeared, Lucien was overheard chatting with SMASHING Issy, CHARITY Jewell, and Chryrie about his dislike for the man. It appears all were quite confused by Cieara?s relationship with the man and agreed that her father was NOT happy with the match!!!

Krazy Kitty was overheard in the Arena complaining that she hasn?t been able to nail down The Gov MAN-tastic Matt since the election! She seems to think that he?s not in town! WHAT??? Our sources have spotted him everywhere from the Outback to the Red Dragon Inn! Could the new gov be avoiding the old one???

Tony?s been seen in the Arena quite a bit over the weekend! He got a handful of duels in on Thursday and a couple more on Friday. Is he gearing up for the TDL playoffs or is he attempting to speed duel his way to Warlord to get a bid in the upcoming Warlord Tournament? Perhaps it?s none of the above! Tony was overheard asking HAWTIE Hodge to cheer for him and was seen chatting with her the night before. Maybe all the dueling is an attempt to impress the cute brunette!

HAWTIE Hodge spent her time cheering for Tony (as requested) and hanging out with Nova? but definitely seemed thrilled when Rix showed up to keep her company. Yuck. We?re still of the mindset that she?s waaaaay too good for him! However, she was overheard telling Rix that she?d like for him to take her shopping at DoD-er FLAWLESS Koy?s shop! Perhaps she?s getting the hang of dating a wealthy retired athlete! It?s all about the money, baby!

Can?t Stand Saturday!

The Red Dragon Inn was fairly vacant Saturday night as most of the city?s wealthy, influential, and sociable were rubbing elbows in their finest duds at the Carnivale Masquerade Ball! However, there were a couple of the Inn?s regulars that weren?t feeling up to the party.

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was seen looking FIERCE at the bar in the Inn Saturday night!!! We hear she was hamming it up and making herself pretty for the handful of eligible bachelors. We?re dyyyying to know what she does with them once she leaves with them. We believe there is some sort of sacrifice and eating of some organ to keep herself HAWT and young!!!

We hear that Luscious Lydia wasn?t up for the party either! Instead, she was seen in the Arena fine-tuning her skillz!!! You know, word on the street is that Big Britches Erin is the more talented of the two Stitch girls but Luscious Lydia is sure getting good awfully fast! She and G?naughty G?nort were being awfully chatty and flirty late into the night! They may act like they can?t stand each other but they?re sure seen together an AWFUL lot!!!

DoD-er Rena dropped by the party was spotted in both the Inn and the Arena later into the night looking a bit down in the dumps. We hear that she?s STILL depressed over being dumped. Geez, sister! Time to brush yourself off and move on already!!!

Carnivale Masquerade Ball!

We hear that the Great Hall looked absolutely amazing for the Carnivale Masquerade Ball Saturday night! The room was elegantly decorated in purples and golds with mage lights in the shape of stars hanging from the ceiling to illuminate the dance floor! A string quartet was present to give the revelers some dancing music and should the dancers need nourishment there was plenty of rich food and spirit-filled drinks to be had!

We hear that the dashing Johnny started the night out by taking AJ for a spin around the dance floor. We hear she looked maiden-like in her white chiffon gown with extensive bead work on the bodice! Johnny didn?t stop with AJ whose later dances were reserved by her husband, The Bum Phillipe!!! Johnny was seen taking a turn on the dance floor with a number of lovely ladies. Who knew he was such a fantastic dancer???

With those blue curls there was no mistaking CHARITY Jewell! Her blue ball gown had a bustle that was a work of freaking art and the black lace that adorned the bodice and made up her gloves were HAWTNESS!!! We hear that Maeve in a serious mask native to her homeland was seen showing CHARITY Jewell some of the dances of where she is from. We HEART Maeve! Absolutely no inhibitions!

It seems that Querylon has not yet murdered her husband, Venom Vinny! The pair were seen together with Venom Vinny in a stately tux and his wife in a pure white dress that we hear is one of Koy?s wonderful creations. Funny how Vinny kept to himself and didn?t socialize with his normal pals! In fact, TRASH-tastic Jade had on a sexy black number with a silver half-mask but Venom Vinny didn?t even look her way!!!

It seems TRASH-tastic Jade?s man was too busy to make it but she had a date with a pink-clad Rhy who was without her man as well. Those boys better be careful. Crazy or not, you don?t let women that fine run around unattended!!! Jade and Rhy were also accompanied by a sweet young woman who we are told is named Sarah?. and she?s normal looking! Her strawberry blonde hair was swept up elegantly and she was draped in rich layers of a light green fabric. Where DID Jade and Rhy find this one??? She?s fabulous! We sure hope they don?t trash her out!

Kacey was also without her man but we?re not all that surprised. We definitely have a soft spot for him but he?s not exactly the ball going type! She was seen chatting with her friends between hiding her identity behind a mask covered in dramatic peacock feathers.

Doc Eva was also without a date which had us much more disappointed! Come on, Tucker! Step up your game! It was such a shame considering we know he would have been floored to see his crush in a slinky black and gold gown. We hear that Doc Eva wasn?t too thrilled either about Tucker not showing up and let it be known after a couple glasses of champagne. Doc Eva spent most of her time gossiping with DoD-er Rena who obviously had allowed her friends to dress her! Rena had lost her jeans for the evening for a majestic sparkling black, silver, and gold dress. Lovely!

Wolv didn?t seem to really get the idea of a masquerade ball as he was in full dress uniform. However, he looked quite regal in his own right. Thus, we must assume that the lovely woman he escorted in is his newest ?lady friend?, Aly! Now she?s something too look at!!! And, man, does she know how to live it up!!! Her dress had to be the most elaborate of the evening. It was a gorgeous purple silk with some fabulous gold detailing that matched the theme of the night. He?s got to stick with this chick! She?s faaaaabulous!

Awesome Alain was seen by our sources trying to hide in a smart suit and a hunter mask. Yet, his limp from the mishap earlier in the week and the general manner in which he carries himself made it quite obvious who he was. He was overheard talking to Ren (who looked almost lady-like in a hot red number) about places to hide a gun when in a dress!!! Alain seemed quite the expert on the subject. We?d wonder if we weren?t absolutely positive that the reason he?s an expert on the subject is because he?s undressed so many gun-toting women in his day!

The new hottie around town, Adrienne, was truly the belle of the ball!!! She looked stunning in an fairy tale-esque green dress with a well-fitted bodice and a mask covered in leaves. A stranger named Owen took a moment to help fill her dance card but he was later seen macking on a lovely woman dressed in a fairy-like gown of varying shades of blue and sea green! For quite a while our sources could not identify the masked woman but soon she identified herself for us!!! It seems that the unknown kisser was none other than Warrior Fairy Trinala in her ?big? form! That girl sure knows how to get her man!! And it seems that Mini-Frank Cor (who was not there for the dance) might still have a chance with the lovely Adrienne!

The former governor was still in a partying mood it seems! Krazy Kitty was unmistakable in HAWT red leather and was seen tipping back a couple drinks while chatting with the lovely Shy! We adore Shy and she looked super curvy in a fitted black lace bodice! Her golden mask of white feathers and black ostrich plums gave her such a regal air! Both of their dates showed a bit later into the night. Tass was present to make sure Krazy Kitty didn?t get too wild and Shy was accompanied by the soft-spoken Elijah.

Speaking of people that are unmistakable, the goooorgeous Wyh Not was spotted making an entrance and looking all sorts of fabulous! It seems that her recent scare is long behind her and she was making quite the scene in an elegant midnight blue dress trimmed with shimmering silver paired with a sexy silver mask!!! We hear she?s newly single too! MAJOR! She just became the hottest bachelorette on the market!

OMG! Potter Piper looked just beautiful in eye-catching gold! Pipes was ABSOLUTELY irresistible and we weren?t the only ones to think so evidently! Peredhil just couldn?t keep his eyes off of her and before the night was over the pair were seen intertwined on the dance floor and sharing sweet kisses!!! It?s about darn time, Perry and Pipes! This couple looked absolutely thrilled to finally give in to the obvious chemistry between them and we only wish that we had been there to see THAT moment.

Locke got all sorts of attention from the laaaadies! The hottest new tender was looking his usual smart, dashing self and has a sense of style that just seems to be an absolute magnet for pretty women. There was only one pretty woman that had his eye, though! He quickly dismissed the females that approached him to search out the one that has seemingly caught his eye ? Atalanta! That?s one lucky girl!

On the subject of new young couples, Ethan was there looking quite mysterious in costume and made a beeline for the lovely Maeve! The usually cheerful, smooth Maeve seems to become such a mess in his presence! We?re starting to buy into the rumors that there is something going on between the pair. They took several spins around the dance floor and our sources tell us that they were seen leaving together! Too cute!

Wowza! Our sources report back to us that Eless was there looking her usual lovely self but WITHOUT Bad Boy Wil! It gets more shocking! She was seen having a very intimate conversation with her ex Connar! Now there have been rumors that Wil was talking about postponing the wedding. Could Eless now be having second thoughts as well???

?And now the awards go to:

Belle of the Ball: Adrienne. We love fresh faces and she?s the freshest around. Modeling agents? Look this girl up! Quick!

?What were they thinking??: Baker. Big shock, huh? He was seen wearing a t-shirt and a ?mask? that consisted of fake glasses, a fake nose, and a fake mustache while partaking in the free alcohol. And DoD-er Eve who was in her street clothes! Although, we HEART her, we can?t believe that she couldn?t have at least borrowed a gown from fellow DoD-er Koy for the evening.

Best Dress of the Night: Aly! Without a doubt! The girl obviously knows how to do a masquerade ball and do it right! For any other occasion the gobs of purple fabric, elaborate gold detailing, and insane purple mask would have looked ridiculous but it was PERFECT for a Carnivale Masquerade!

Simple Can Be HAWT Too: Atalanta. We?re used to the PAARRRTY Girl being absolutely insane but she looked stately in a black vintage number with gold elbow-length gloves. We love girls that can look good by scouring the vintage stores! Brownie points for Atalanta!

Most Handsome Couple: How can we not choose Perry and Pipes??? Her dress was amazing. He looked dapper. However, most importantly, they were both so thrilled to be there together that they were absolutely glowing all night!

What a fabulous event! We?re so thrilled to hear all the juicy gossip and only wish we were there in person to enjoy the festivities!

What a Jerk of a Sunday!

Sunday started out a bit uncomfortable in the early evening hours in the Red Dragon Inn as SMASHING Issy introduced fellow Scath-Babe Trixie to Pirate Robert! The conversation was?. interesting to say the least and left SMASHING Issy in near tears from laughing so hard!!! The interaction definitely provided a decent amount of material for the next edition of ?Overheard?!

It seems that Krazy Kitty and Taneth have FINALLY gone dress shopping!!! Krazy Kitty was overheard speaking with Head Pussy Panther and his lovely S?jira. It seems the former gov was attempting to hire S?jira to do some alterations and beadwork (as Taneth stated that there MUST be some sparkle) to the purchased garment. Could an announcement of a wedding date be fast approaching???

What in the world happened in the Inn last night between the new girl, Maeve, Chase, and Ethan??? We hear that Ethan?s night started with a pretty public argument with some girl who are sources tell us is named Caitlin over his relationship with Maeve. It seems that this Caitlin chick was unhappy with his inability to tell Maeve how he feels?. uh, why is that her business??? ?So to prove how he felt about Maeve, Caitlin kissed him. WHAT?!?! We?re so confused already! But, wait! It gets worse. Ethan than made out in the middle of the Inn with this Caitlin girl for some unknown reason. Caitlin then slapped him because?. to be honest we don?t really know at this point?. and then Ethan laid a lip smacker on Chase who had just been kind of standing there watching the whole mess go down.

Chase and Ethan really started making out right there in the middle of the Inn and poor Maeve waltzed right in. Poor Maeve looked downright crushed when she spotted the pair going at it. WHAT A JERK!!! And Chase is absolutely no better. The pair left together to take their dirty deed elsewhere.

Thankfully, Potter Piper was there to distract her friend from the craziness! She busied Maeve by introducing her to the new Gov MAN-tastic Matt and the pair had some silly chatter with dear Peredhil. Maeve actually took it quite well. Not a single tear!!! Good for her!!! She deserves MUCH better!!!

DoD-er Rena was seen getting swept up into the arms of a man!!! Mystery guy Aaron seems to be back in town and seemed quite pleased to see his lady. These two are definitely on again. We?re not quite sure on this pairing, however. There?s something a wee bit off.

SUUUPER Des was on her own behind the bar Sunday night but that doesn?t mean that a drink order was missed! We don?t call her SUUUUPER Des for nothing, after all! She was overheard telling Doc Eva that her husband was busy with political matters so decided to stay at home with their wee daughter. So sweet!

Down in the Annex during Fight Night the topic of conversation early in the evening was over the rumored explosion at Mini-Frank Cor?s breakfast shop. According to Luscious Lydia there was no damage but none of those gathered had seen Cor since the incident!!! We sure hope the Mini-Franker is okay! Our sources tell us that the new little hottie Adrienne was a bit rattled by the news. Perhaps that attraction isn?t just on Mini-Frank Cor?s end!!!

Luscious Lydia was again seen in the presence of G?naughty G?nort laaaate into the evening! What is that girl thinking??? Perhaps Grem?s reappearance has her looking for a rebound guy! We?re not entirely sold on the idea that Luscious Lydia is silly enough to get involved with the married man who has QUITE the reputation. Stay smart, sister!

Fall-Out Monday!

DoD-er Rena sure knows how to stand up for her friends?. in true DoD fashion, of course! She was overheard Monday night in the Red Dragon Inn telling Potter Piper that she attempted to punch Ethan in the nose for what he pulled the night before on poor Maeve. Despite Potter Piper?s seeming views on violence, she only seemed disappointed that Rena was unable to connect. So are we!

Peredhil made a brief appearance and was seen affectionately kissing Pipes on the forehead! How adorable are they?!?! We knew that they were THE perfect couple!!!

Reveling in their cuteness came to an abrupt end with Ethan walked through the door! That man?s got some set, huh??? He was greeted by general disgust?. save from Locke who merely seemed amused to watch the shenanigans unfold. Oddly enough, it was DoD-er Rena?s new Boy Toy Aaron that confronted him. Peredhil attempted to stop the man but Aaron got a punch off before Peredhil could pull him back. Unfortunately at some point in the middle of the giant mess, DoD-er Rena had stepped in to stop Aaron and he accidentally STRUCK HER!!! OMG!!!

The drama didn?t end there! As Potter Piper was hauling DoD-er Rena away and Aaron was apologizing to his new girl, Locke?s amusement suddenly turned to anger and HE ATTACKED ETHAN!!! WHAT?!?! Where did Maeve get so many protectors??? It was that moment that poor Maeve herself chose to walk in and despite CHARITY Jewell attempting to distract her from the scene, she was quite shocked! Interestingly enough, our sources claim that Atalanta did NOTHING when Locke turned on Ethan. In fact, there are even claims that she looked mildly amused! Crazy!

It was CHARITY Jewell that broke up the mess when it seemed that it was upsetting Maeve. Ethan, of course, took the opportunity to whine to Maeve about how he?s become Public Enemy Number 1. Really, what did you think was going to happen??? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Nobody seemed to suffer any permanent damage. Krazy Kitty (who is always present when there?s a good bar brawl brewing) sent for her man-to-be, Tass, to have him heal DoD-er Rena. So? all?s well that ends well, right???

Chase wasn?t so bold about her entrance. In fact, she seemed to be trying NOT to be seen. But, lo and behold, her man Quel did show up and the pair had quite the intimate conversation. Maybe he?ll finally realize that the girl needs REHAB!!! If this wasn?t a cry for help then we don?t know what is!

As if that situation wasn?t odd enough for you, there was a gathering at the bar of three of Michale?s former/current girlfriends dishing about him! The fresh young Sarah was all a tither about a date she?d had with him and was so eager to tell TRASH-tastic Jade who seems legitimately happy for the couple. Lana, on the other hand, did not seem the least bit happy for her ex?s new girlfriend! In fact, if looks could kill, Sarah would be one dead wench!

Winter Warlord Tournament!

A talented pool of warlords that included many former barons and several former overlords gathered to fight it out in the Winter cycle Warlord Tournament! There were no rings up for grabs but the prizes for the night were an intercession-free shot at the Overlord and a challenge shot at one of the barons!

The surprise of the night to those gathered to participate and those present to witness the event was that former Overlord Xeno was among those vying for a prize!!! He gained quite a few second glances from some of the less experienced warlords. You could tell that there was one or two a bit intimidated to have such a legend in their midst!!! Who can blame them?!?!

Baroness of Dockside/Little Black Book Jaycy was present and she certainly wasn?t doing anything to stop those rumors that she and former flame Sartan have heated up an old romance. She was overheard greeting him warmly and calling him ?hon?. How cute? or else it would be if he wasn?t MARRIED!!! Is it just us or did Jaycy get quite the evil eye from Sartan?s pregnant wife, Rory, when she entered with SPEEDSTER Nova later in the night. We?re totally smelling major drama brewing there.

Jaycy was seen later chatting with Cas about many issues, including The Diamond himself. Our sources say that she was seen holding her belly and was sporting just a bit of a pouch!!! When Cas questioned her on whether or not she?d be entering an upcoming tournament, she seemed uncomfortable and avoided responding directly. OMG!!! Could she be knocked up to??? If Sartan?s knocked up both his wife and a mistress at the same time, we?ll so have to rename him Super Sperm Sartan!!! That would be totally MAJOR!

Hawtie Hodge seemed to be keeping a close eye on rising star Joex as he competed throughout the night!!! We always thought that it would be Rix whose attention span would end this relationship but maybe it?s Hodge?s eyes that are starting to wander. They certainly picked an interesting place to wander to!!!

In the end Aurora walked away with the win and took the Overlord challenge as her prize while the FIERCE Aya took the Baron?s challenge. We love when the ladies dominate. HAWT!!!

Congratulations, Aurora and Aya!!!
