Governor's Ball!

Welcome to RhyDin where the governors get crazier every year! No, really, there was one who married Tass (yuck), followed by one who has a half dozen kids by multiple women (Matt likes to spread his seed far and wide), and then one who was an unreformed drunk (and pretty absent too), our last had multiple personalities (oh, come on, did you think we forgot???), and our current is obsessed with cupcakes and glitter.

?.so it it really any surprise that we are heralding our current governor in with a Mad Hatter party? I didn?t think so.

You better believe that RhyDin?s finest showed up in their finest. It was definitely the place to be seen last night. The new governor, Rekah, was the belle of her very own ball, of course! We hear she looked absolutely lovely in a pretty green one shouldered dress and she certainly was pleased by the number of sweets that filled the space.

We hope she was also pleased by the attendance because quite a few notable faces showed up for the soiree.

First, I must say DINGDONG THE WITCH IS UNDEAD! ...or not dead because undead would suggest she?s a zombie and she doesn?t look much like a zombie. That?s right. Jewell decided to make an appearance at the event. Evidently she chose to reveal the she really hadn?t died on RhyDin Rewind rather than coming to us here at the Gossip Gangstar. WHATEV! Trash gravitates to trash and there?s nothing trashier in this city than Seirichi and Harris. Anyway, we hear that Jewell was wearing a lovely red and white ball gown. At least she?s gained some fashion sense while she was ?dead?. Maybe she didn?t really die. Maybe she was just kidnapped by Koy and sent to some sort of fashion boarding school. Time will tell but we?ll actually be a bit sad if Jewell doesn?t return to dressing like a prostitute occasionally. Jewell was overheard eyeing a bevy of handsome men with Gem. Some things in this town just never change.

We will say this in Jewell?s defense, Gem really did have quite the collection of handsome men gathered around her. Her divorce certainly seems to suit her. One man in particularly that seemed to be keeping a particularly close eye on Gem and who seems to have caught Jewell?s eye was Crispin. He?s definitely a handsome new face around town... maybe a bit young for the curvaceous one, though. Gem seems to like her men a bit more manly and less boyishly fresh-faced. No worries, though! She also had Hawk, Bjorn, and Ivanya keeping her company.

She wasn?t just surrounded by men, Gem has a lovely little friend that she?s been spotted with as of late named Noira.... who is evidently some sort of freelance battlemage. Battlemages make me a little nervous to begin with but throw the word ?freelance? before it and we?re scared stiff. She?s very pretty, though, and definitely seemed to enjoy her first RhyDin party. The two ladies are evidently working together and, considering Gem?s reputation, that can?t possibly be a good thing! We hear one of their employers, Draeken, was creeping around them for a while. He definitely seemed the unsavory sort.

As for RhyDin?s finest (hahahaha), our sources spotted Baker making a rare appearance. We hear he showed up, relieved himself behind a tree, drank ale, eyed up the women, and then took off. Yep, like we said, some things in this town just never change. And on the subject of RhyDin?s classiest members of society, Sal also showed. In raggedy jeans. Nice. It gets worse. While there, he decided to de-pants Ali while Ali was on stage. That right there, folks, says C-L-A-S-S.

There was some upbeat news that came out of the party! Saffron was overheard telling Thorn that she and Cuyler are getting married on the 12th (of this month, it would appear). Thorn, of course, was thrilled for the pair.... and she was looking awfully hot in an off-the-shoulder number. Anyway, the wedding news is proof positive that there is a soul mate out there for every odd bird.

They?re not the only couple getting married this month. Seems like Rhiannon is actually going through with this whole marriage to Eregor thing! Rhiannon was seen excitedly telling Rekah about it at the event. This is the most vanilla couple in the world. We?re just dying for a good fire and brimstone argument in a public venue. We bet they?re the annoying sort that are all ?oooh, we never fight, we?re so in looooove?. BULL CRAP, WE SAY! Our sources are telling us that the wedding date is July 27. No invitation her at the Den of Gossip so it will be a boooore.

Shy and Viktor were present, dancing with one another and enjoying the food. Rena was seen catching up with them and putting the event organizers back some money by endulging in the free bar. Also, we hear that Jane dragged herself out from under a rock for a little while to make the rounds. Surprisingly enough, the most eligible bachelor seemed to be Andu. We hear that he didn't spend long without a dance partner all night. Minotaur's got game! Apple showed looking a little worse for wear. Cute dresses should not be accessorized by lots of bruises despite what Koy says. Seems like Apple's thrown everything she's got into Hydra this year. There was a mime was making his way through the crowd and he seemed to know quite a few of RhyDin?s finest denizen. We hear that he spends some time in the Inn and is sort of a patron favorite.... it led to a debate here at the Den of Gossip. Are mimes creepy or a blast??? What do YOU think, RhyDin?

Oh, how some of you have grown on our watch! No one more so than little Lirssa. Such a mess of a little street mouse when we first started reporting on this town, she?s now practically all grown up. It seems that just about everyone missed the biting remark she had for her father, Ali, but we here at the Gossip Gangstar did not, little Miss Lirssa. And we are oh so proud of that sharp wit you yield! For those of you that did miss it, Miss Lirssa was asked to dance by dear old Dad (who still seems to be in the midst of a mid-life crisis and is dating another redhead former street urchin young enough to be his daughter and, in fact, is friends with his daughter) and, in reply, Miss Lirssa told him that he must have confused her for another redheaded street urchin. She clearly seemed to be taking a jab at her father for dating her friend but the barb sailed right over Ali?s head.

Ali didn?t seem like that happy of a man. He seemed a bit down in the dumps while dancing with former wife, Fio. Maybe he was realizing what he?d lost? Because the former governor was certainly was looking mighty mighty mighty fine. We weren?t the only ones that noticed. We hear that Fio was seen dancing with a rough and rumpled looking man that she had just met. She was seen introducing him to Miss Lirssa and then he was overhead playfully propositioning her to which she once refused. But then our sources claim to have seen him whispering in her ear and she seemed to waste no time taking back off with him through the rabbit hole, laughing all the way. Can we say how good it is to see Fio laugh like that??? We suppose since she?s no longer governor she can give up the ?moral leader? bit and go on to having illicit affairs with good looking men that she meets at parties. Fio most certainly seems to have her groove back!!!!

Out with the old (no offense, Fio!) and in with the new! Congratulations, Rekah! May your reign be full of ice cream, sprinkles, and lots of juicy gossip!
