Top Ten Things You Need to Know to Stay In The Know!

10. You?re Boring Us With Your Happiness. At some point every love story should have a disastrous end. No, we?re serious. A giant train wreck of an ending with screaming and crying and book throwing. Otherwise, you become the Ravenlocks. Yes, Jenai and Brian are stiiiiill together. She evidently has yet to realize that she is one of the hottest women in RhyDin and could really do so much better. Our sources have caught them together quite a bit in public over the last couple of months. They were seen this past week smooching on one another (UGH!) while discussing wearing matching leafy thongs to Beltane... and nothing else. We can only hope Jenai talks him out of showing off his hairy chest. Anyway, this is what you become people if you refuse to commit to a fantastic break-up with a public blow-up that will feed the city?s love of gossip for a week. YOU BECOME OLD AND SMOOCHY! Dump your girl/boyfriends! It?s for your own good.... and perhaps the good of GangSTAR blog.

9. Look Someone Added a Dress Size or Two During Their Absence. And it wasn?t Yeardley! But our sources have spotted her back over the last week or so. No word as of yet about where she?s been. She?s just said ?work?. OMG! You?ve got to give us a better story than that. If you don?t WE WILL MAKE ONE UP! And it?ll involve sex tapes, politicians, and hookers. All the best stories involve sex tapes, politicians, and hookers... right??? Anyway, the other troublesome lady who came back this week who HAS added a couple dress sizes was Yeardley?s BFF, Harper. It seems Harper was back in town visiting and has DEFINITELY put on some weight. Some baby weight, that is. We?d guesstimate she?s about 5 months pregnant and is full on showing. Very cute! We?re sure the baby will be a doll. We?re also sure that it?ll be completely neurotic. Oh, come on. Name one other person in this city more likely to have their pens organized by color, size, and comfort?

8. Siiiisters! There?s been some sets of totally adorbs sisters and Claire and Serah are certainly along the same vein! Sadly we know so little about them at the moment. What our interns and sources have gathered is that one of the sisters, Claire, is taken. We?re told that the member of the Watch is dating some guy named Cyrus buuuut she certainly seems to spend a lot of time with her VERY good friend, Zack. Let us tell you something, Cyrus. VERY good male buddies are potential boyfriends just waiting in the wings to steal your very cute girlfriend. Just sayin?. We know even less about Serah who just recently came to town. A little on the awkward side but a lot of cuteness. Our sources say that they overheard Brian claim that she told one of her friends that she was once traded for something. A bit of an odd bird but... well, this is RhyDin. Par for the course!

7. Fish Heads, Fish Heads. Rolly Polly Fish Heads! So somebody finally realized that the Harbor is a little... well, disgustingly gross. I?ve seen you people fishing off the piers. You do realize that those little fish you?re eating were living off the multitudes of dead bodies that get dumped off those piers on a weekly basis, right? And swimming in the fuel leftover of sunken vessels. Really, you?re all just walking biohazards if you eat fish out of these waters. I?m surprised you all aren?t green... well, those of you that aren?t supposed to be green. Anyway, Aja?s Arcadia Shipyards decided to spearhead a movement to clean up the harbor after the damage left in the wake of Snowstorm Hannibal this past winter. Volunteers are still needed. If you?d like to help out, contact the Harbormaster! And, whatever you do stay away from Vice Admiral Jesse and her little tugboat.... if you know what?s good for you.

6. Let the Politickin? Begin! Since the election seems to have run as smoothly as one could hope for in this city, Waterhouse Accounting Firm has been retained for a fifth year. They have put together the schedule for the 2013 Gubernatorial Elections. Candidates must announce their intention to run by Sunday, May 26, 11:59 RST. If necessary a primary to reduce the pool of candidates will occur May 31-June 2. A tentative date for the live public debate has not yet been set but is expected the first week in June. The election will be held on June 14-16. Jesse has already stated that she will be running for Governor and Imp?s fans are calling for him to run. Rumor has it that Fio?s camp is saying she will NOT be running for a third term.... so Jesse or Imp, RhyDin. Jesse or Imp. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

5. Stop the Presses! Seirichi is a LIAR! We hear that Seirichi was overheard this past week telling G?nort, Jasper, and Rekah that her boobs were ?100%? real. BUUUULL HONKY! Is there really anyone buying that crap? Unless by ?real?, you mean that they?re not an illusion created by a spell. But if you mean ?real? as in ?natural? and not ?surgically enhanced? then Seirichi is full of it! FULL OF IT! Also, she was overheard saying that her baby is going to marry one of Rekah?s. THIS IS NOT ALLOWED! NOT EVER! The demon spawn shall not taint the chosen children!

4. The City?s Short on Ski Masks. The East RhyDin Investing Group and Bank is opening a bank in the Marketplace. Construction has begun and hiring is beginning under the head of the ERIG&B, handsome young James Roe. But construction work and bank tellers aren?t the only jobs that this bank is creating. It?s time to start taking applications for bank robbers!!!! Here we go! Question #1: Are you a bank robber? Yes or No. Question #2: Can you rob this bank without blowing up the marketplace? Yes or No. Question #3: When you take our teller hostage, will she fall in love with you because you are mostly just misunderstood and smoking hot? Yes or No.

3. Everything?s Better, Down Where It?s Wetter! The department stores and boutiques have been a buzz this month! They?ve been full of teens trying to make sure that they will be the belle of the ball at this year?s prom. However, no buzz has been as big as the buzz for Bristle Crois? Enchantment Under the Sea prom being held this coming Wednesday! We?ve quizzed some of those putting it together and we hear that the decorations are going to be out. of. this. world. It?s definitely going to be a ?can?t miss? event and if you thought that all the magically inclined teens were clamoring to get into the institution BEFORE the prom of the year you?re not going to believe what the talk is going to be like AFTER the prom! Are we the only ones just dyyyying to know who is going to be named Prom King and Queen??? Can?t wait!

2. Imp-sanity Continues! This is really getting ridiculous folks. Just over three years ago, Imp challenged Tical and took the Overlord mantle. He defended his title TEN times over the next eleven months before eventually retiring to focus on the family business. Right. He retired!!! None of the best that the Arena had to offer could take down the annoying Imp! That?s not all because he didn?t remain retired very long. Instead, Imp challenged for Dockside two months later and won that challenge. He has defended that particular title three times. If you?re keeping up that meant that Imp was 15-0 in challenges until King used the Madness Grant to test the little blue pain in everybody?s neck. Dueling for the honor of half of the women in the Arena (some of them multiple times) yet again, Imp took his record to 16-0 by beating the tough King and moving forward. Rumor has it that King?s current crush, Sissy, was in the Arena at the time and it hit King pretty hard that her crush saw her take a beating. We have a feeling that everyone will be thinking twice before they volunteer to become #17. What CAN?T Imp do right now? We?re even hearing calls of ?Imp for Governor?! Lord help us all!

1. It?s Time For Beltane!!! There?s a lot of great times during the year to be a RhyDinian. There?s the magic of Winterfest and the excitement Duel Madness and Halloween when freaky RhyDin embraces its freaky flare but none of these can bump the Den of Gossip?s favorite RhyDin holiday off the map. BELTANE, BABY! We got our hands on the official list of events for Beltane. The festivities kick off tonight with the traditional lighting of the bonfire and the crowning of the May Queen and King along with the selection of the Green Man. Be careful around those drinks! It certainly wouldn?t be a first for the event if they were spiked with aphrodisiacs. Saturday will be a dance in the Glen full of moonlight and fairy magic! Don?t worry, my friends, yours truly will indeed have spies present to see which of RhyDin?s naughty citizens end up not making it home and instead spending the night together in those tents scattered in the woods! Then Sunday a late brunch will be rolled out along with some family friend games. All in all, it sounds like a fantastic weekend. Now let?s get to partying, RhyDin! YOU CAN SLEEP WHEN YOUR DEAD!
