Hunky Handyman Wednesday!

Lickable Lydia wasn’t looking so luscious when she was spotted heading into the Red Dragon Inn on Wednesday night!!! Although smartly dressed as usual, she was looking a bit worn around the edges! Perhaps this expansion project is taking a lot out of her! She was seen at a table chatting with Hunky Carpenter Glenn!!! Really, Grem should be worried! Lydia spends A LOT of time with that heart throb!

Some of our favorite classy ladies were gathered together!!! Potter Piper and DoD-er Rena were catching up as Potter Piper has been kept awfully busy with work. Then to increase the darling factor even more, Maeve showed up and, really, she’s got to be the cutest thing in this city!!! Piper was later seen having a pretty frank discussion with Stitch. Say it ain’t so, Piper!!! We sure hope she doesn’t have a thing for the crude jackal!

In the Outback, Chryrie had a pretty, uh, interesting conversation with the caller on duty, Nutty Rory. The topic? Well… how about we just say it was in regards to piercings south of the naval. Yeah. Chryrie stated that she did not have one but suggested that The Gov Kitty might. Do YOU have insider knowledge?!?! If so, please contact us! We’re DYING to know!

Smaaaart Thursday!

You just had to know that TRASH-tastic Jade wouldn’t stand for her ex-Vampire falling in love with his new Vampire Hunter! Michale was overheard telling Jade that he still loves her!!! Oooooh! We wonder what TRASH-tastic Jade’s dear friend Lana thinks of that! We still bet that lil’ Miss Vampire Hunter goes berserk on these two one of these days.

Be still our pounding hearts!!! Hunky Carpenter Glenn got his luscious locks cut quite close and while typically we’d sob for the loss, we actually LOVE it!!! ….And we’re not the only ones!!! Our sources tell us that Cutey Carley looked absolutely bowled over by the new look. The pair were seen chatting amicably over drinks!

Their intimate party was broken up by Sebastian who came in to tease her and Maeve who distracted Glenn. Carley looked flustered after the exchange with Bast and Glenn seemed to enjoy the exchange with Maeve. But, really, who doesn’t enjoy a conversation with Maeve??? Who will Glenn choose??? Will it be the blonde-haired elf or the dark-haired zookeeper???

A friend of Adrianna’s named Rose was seen asking the patrons if they had seen her. It turns out that the pair had an encounter with some strange men and Adrianna has been missing ever since!!! That got Awesome Alain’s attention who evidently hired Adrianna for some work recently. Awesome Alain assured the young woman that he’d keep an eye out for any news on Adrianna. We sure hope she’s okay!!!

Ooooh! As if the ring that Tareth gave DoD-er Charlie wasn’t proof enough of an engagement between the pair, Charlie was overheard asking her brother Gavin for their father’s wedding ring!!! And Gavin’s response??? He wanted their mother’s wedding ring in return!!! What could Gavin possibly want with a woman’s wedding band??? Is he planning on getting serious with DoD-er PJ?!?! We’d think he’d need to hold PJ at knife point to ever get her to say “I do”! The single DoD-ers are dropping like flies!!!

Downstairs in the Inn’s basement Arena, Venom Vinny was seen looking a bit…. stunned. We’re not quiet sure what his deal was but he seemed to shake it off to get in some duels. He had one with WHORE-acious Erin who seemed a bit out of sorts as well. The little brunette seemed awfully pissed off!!! Sadly, our sources failed to find out the reason behind Erin’s mood just as they failed with Vinny! Trust us, we punished them appropriately!!!

However, later into the night, Vinny was seen asking Erin to hit him outside a ring. What??? These two are just plain weird. WHORE-acious Erin did and broke her hand. Smaaaaart! Even Kissing Fiend Alex seemed quite concern about Erin’s mental stability. ….And, honestly, when Alex is questioning your sanity, it’s time to check into the nearest looney bin.

It was the night of bold-faced lies in the Arena as well. Our sources claim that they heard DoD-er PJ claim that she has never done drugs! Ha! We’ve heard too many tales of what really went on when PJ used to go to the bathroom every ten minutes. And G’naughty G’nort was overheard telling Hodge that he is a respectable business man and a nice guy! Ha ha! Nice guys don’t hit women G’nort!!!

Evil Twin Friday

Some nights we are sooo amused by the odd conversation partners in the Red Dragon Inn!!! Friday night it was Guthorm buying Kuddly Kira a mug of cocoa (complete with whipped cream!) that astounded us!!! Kira was quite shy but Guthorm was sweet and kind to her. He scored some MAJOR brownie points in our book for that! We HEART Kira! We only wish her brother would come back around.

The Gov Kitty was overheard stating that Bad Boy Darren’s tattoo parlor will be getting a visit from an inspector sometime very soon. Evidently, the inspector she’s sending is the nastiest she’s got. We’ve got a feeling EVERYTHING will be run under with a fine tooth comb. One of these days Bad Boy Darren’s going to learn NOT to piss off The Gov!!! ….or maybe he won’t. The Gov’s vicious temper was undercut as soon as she was joined by Tass. The pair cuddled and chatted in the Inn until laaaaate in the evening!

Potter Piper had a pretty smile on when Peredhil joined her and Maeve at a table by the hearth! Maeve entertained the pair with stories of her wildlife refuge but we believe that we may have seen one or two interesting looks passing between Piper and Peredhil!!! Could our favorite potter have a crush on the handsome Peredhil?!?! We kind of like him. He may be worthy! They certainly spent a good deal of time together Friday night!

Brale Brother Baker was seen at the bar asking Antonio, who was tending, to point out the drunkest chick. Always the gentlemen, Antonio politely declined the task, leaving Baker to search for his victims all on his own. Thankfully DoD-er Eve came into distract him before he could sharpen his skillz on any unsuspecting young women!!! Eve was a bit distracted in her own right, though, by Eva. Apparently, Eve was convinced that Eva was her evil twin. We think DoD-er Eve may have had it backwards!!!

Speaking of the DoD faithful, DoD-er PJ came in with her new man Gavin and seemed a bit curious when she saw Gavin exchanging their father’s wedding band for their mother’s wedding band with DoD-er Charlie!!! We’re wondering if DoD-er PJ connected the dots like we did!!! She seemed awfully busy asking Eva about food poisoning, though. Is she still not feeling good?!?! We’re starting to worry about her!

After Piper’s new man left the building, Connar came over to keep her and Maeve company. We did get an answer to the blaring question of what happened to Connar and Eless! Connar was overheard by our sources telling Piper that their friendship did not have a chance to bloom into anything more. Awww! We’re so sad for him! However, he did not appear the least bit sad when Eless and Wil joined them at the table. Perhaps he’s moving on already!

Ugh. Just when we thought Raye was one classy broad…. WE ARE SO DISAPPOINTED!!! Our sources spotted Raye KISSING G’naughty G’nort late into the night and later he was spotted handing a bra over to her. Yuck! Just plain stinkin’ YUCK!

Doooooown in the depths of the Red Dragon Inn’s basement Arena, Tegan’s enchanted rings full of lava, wild animals, and snapping bridges were evoking their usual chagrin from dueling’s regulars. Bubbly Uriko was NOT pleased at the prospect of falling into a pit of crocodiles and was overheard by our sources willing away her possessions. Venom Vinny was overheard getting into it with Gabe and literally beat him around a ring filled with lions. We’re not quite sure what the disagreement was about but it had more than one or two people turning their heads!!!

Get Your Orc On Saturday!

TRASH-tastic Jade finally found a man who is on her level! This one is an all-brawn/no-brain orc named Koruush! He brought her the gift of two bloodied troll heads (…uh, ew?) but Michale came in and claimed that TRASH-tastic Jade was his girl!!! WHAT?!?! Does his little vampire hunter know this??? Jade and Michale were certainly QUITE cuddly and lovey dovey! Later Gabe came in claiming that Jade was his! Bah, this is a love triangle that even we are getting sick of…. so we’re rooting for the orc! Get your girl, Koruush!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was seen chatting with Anastas who turned down her advances!!! He will NOT be the next victim of the succubus! …but really he’s the only one. Evidently Anastas didn’t believe Kairee was of the right race which would lead their future children to be confused over their heritage. Kairee, on the other hand, seemed stunned!!! That’s some funny stuff. We like this Anastas guy!

Connar was seen catching up with Keeper Wyh Not in the Inn late into the evening but he was darting some meaningful glances Eless’s way!!! When our sources snuck out last night they hurried back to us to tell us that the pair were chatting together laaate into the evening. Do we smell a reunion?!?! We wonder what Wil thinks of this???

WHORE-acious Erin was seen dueling Jordan in the Inn’s basement Arena Saturday night! She took a solid win over him but he seemed more than a little distracted by her… uh, assets (and by “assets” we’re not referring to her mean high cut) during the duel!!! While Jordan was keeping an eye on Erin, Jinx was keeping an eye on Jordan! She certainly seemed to want to eat him up. But really who wouldn’t?!?! Plus, Jinx seems so full of sexual energy that it doesn’t matter if you’re male, female, or furry, she’ll do ya!

Edible Elly was AGAIN seen with a chainsaw!!! Someone take that away from the little witch! PLEASE! That’s the bad news but the good news was that the girl was rocking some pretty fierce make-up. She’s is smooooking HAWT!!!

Free Milk Sunday!

DoD-er Rena was spotted by our sources in the Inn Sunday night hanging out with Potter Piper. It seems that Rena was trying to avoid Soerl’s lady, Savannah, who was downstairs in the Arena!!! We are just DYING to know why Rena thinks Savannah is such a skank! After all, Rena’s considered a pretty good judge of character!

Despite Rena’s statement that she was staying upstairs to avoid Soerl’s floozy, Savannah was only present for a short period of time during Nutty Rory’s shift. She was no where to be seen while Soerl was calling his shift! Could there really be trouble in paradise??? Rena certainly seems to have predicted that Savannah isn’t the loyal sort!!!

SPLENDIFEROUS Kairee was overheard trying to convince Brian that as first knight of her country, he should take on a squire!!! Brian seemed a bit reluctant but her logic seemed to sway him in the end. We’re still not sure how we feel about any Ravenlocks around young, impressionable minds! But who dares question the Splendiferous One?

Sianna!!! Our faaaavorite bard was spotted in the Inn Sunday night on the back of her man, Johnny! Despite rumors of a break-up and Sianna’s absence as of late, the pair seemed quite happy to be together and very much in love! Is it just us or is about time that Johnny buy the cow and stop getting the milk for free???

Aw! Cutey Carley looked down right embarrassed when Piper asked her what beau she had her lovely eyes on last night!!! It seems she has her eyes on someone! We wonder who?!?! Could it be the Hunky Carpenter Glenn??? She has been seen with him several times. However, last night he was quite busy speaking about pirates with Miss Mercy. It wasn’t a topic he seemed very fond of!!! Carley saved him from further pirate talk by bringing him to meet Potter Piper and Marvelous Maeve who was still wet from surfing! We just can’t stop LOVING Maeve! Too cute for words!

After spending the night flirting with her man Wil, Eless was AGAIN seen in the company of Connar having an intimate conversation by our sources. The conversation was reportedly in French and, unfortunately, while our sources know the Common tongue, Mandarin, German, Russian, Drow, and several dialects of Elven, they don’t know French. Could she be having second thoughts?!?! Don’t get us wrong, Wil is GREAT blog fodder but Eless and Connar are so PERFECT together!!!

Although, we have yet to see it ourselves, we hear there is quite the art piece on the alley wall these days! Across from the wall declaring “Piper Hearts Stitch” is a gigantic mural of Stitch walking arm-in-arm with a woman that is most certainly NOT Potter Piper. We have no clue who the redhead pictured is but we’re on the case!

SUUUUPER Des and her sidekick Gav were behind the bar late into the night. Gav took off early to go look in after their daughter, leaving Des to finish up. Des had a run-in with the Inn’s latest Orc patron, Koruush, who was looking for his lady love TRASH-tastic Jade in order to give her a present. We won’t ruin her surprise by telling what the present is. All we’ll say is that we LOOOOOVE Koruush!

It appears the socially awkward but very amusing Anastas is Awesome Alain’s newest employee!!! Reportedly much to the chagrin of his competition DoD-er Charlie, Alain is expanding his business out of just private investigation work and more into security work which is Charlie’s corner of the market. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for some nasty fireworks there!!! Anastas is Alain’s newest hire in that department and is quite enthusiastic about his assignments. We’ve heard complaints from teenage market goers that he has actually yelled at them for loitering in front of several jewelry stores!!! GOODNESS!

Speaking of DoD-ers, there was quite the collection of them in the Annex Sunday night. Charlie looked half sloshed and in a piss poor mood. Could it have something to do with the above-mentioned business competition??? FLAWLESS Koy was with her husband MAN-tastic Matt but seemed quite taken with planning Evie and Brale Brother Baker’s wedding. WE NEED AN INVITE!!! Evidently, Koy is planning a dress made entirely of beer bottle labels! LOVE IT! DoD-er PJ was dueling UP A STORM and advised Koy that her ordination papers are on the way so that she may marry Evie and Baker. This wedding gets better all the time!

DoD-er PJ spent her duel getting awfully friendly with the newest titleholder in Swords, Baron of New Haven Rand!!! We bet that girl is waaaay turned on by powerful men! She’s so the sort to have that complex! Her man, Gavin, was not happy with her gallivanting and our sources claim that the pair seemed to be having a quiet but heated exchange afterwards. Ooooh! We HEART drama!

SPOTTED Monday!

We are now proud to present your EIGHTEENTH Rhydin edition of the often duplicated yet unequaled –

SPOTTED:

- Atalanta tending bar for a couple hours. The jury’s STILL out on her. However, she seemed quite friendly and almost adorable Monday night behind the bar. We just can’t decide if she’s going to be a drama causer or not yet!

- Stitch seen talking to a redhead that appears to be the exact same redhead that was in the mural on the back wall!!! So our sources found her but they still don’t know her name!!! From the looks of her paint-covered hands, however, she was actually the artist. Aww. How cute! Somebody has a crush on Stitch!

- Soerl and his trollop Savannah in the Inn after he dropped a couple duels in the Outback and Savannah spent the night feeling generally unwelcomed. Soerl was overheard telling Savannah that he and DoD-er Rena are no longer friends!!! Le sigh! When will these men every learn??? You should ALWAYS choose your friends over a chick!

- Awesome Alain doing some hardcore drinking with DoD-er Charlie and DoD-er PJ. Somebody needs to tell that kid that hanging out with those girls is taking the fast lane to kidney failure!!! Actually, Awesome Alain’s probably already in that lane!!! Sexy Sartan broke up the party by telling PJ it was time to go home and lecturing her for drinking so much. PJ actually listened!!! We think that girl has one heck of a daddy complex.

- Wil actually behaving like a gentleman around Eless!!! He seated her, got her drinks, stood between her and a bar fight. It was almost…. chivalrous. We really don’t see this lasting too much longer. One of these days Wil’s going to revert back to his old ways and Eless will get her heart broken. We wonder if she’ll go all Sugar-on-Darren on his ass when he does!!!

- Artemus spending some time chatting with DoD-er Rena. The magically inclined Artemus tends to spend his evenings on Twilight Island but was overheard saying that the portal to those sandy shores was acting up. Perhaps some sort of spike in nexus energy caused it??? Either way, he wasn’t the only of the typically deemed “magic folk” to find their way into the Outback over the course of the night.

- The orc Koruush getting a couple duels in within the Outback’s rings! We wonder what Jake Thrash will think about this??? Is the Outback big enough for TWO orcs?!?! We seriously doubt we’re the only ones desperate to see some orc-on-orc (or orc-on-half orc as the case might be) carnage!!!

- Nutty Rory in the Outback to collect her husband Sexy Sartan for a chat!!! We have no details on the matter but he appeared QUITE concerned. We’d have loved to have witnessed that one!!! Anybody have any ideas?!?!

- Lickable Lydia tossing her drink on Locke!!! Just when we thought we’d found one of the few “nice” guys in RhyDin, Locke went and proved his true colors. WHORE-acious Erin and Lickable Lydia did not find his insults of Cowboy Jake very funny! After Lydia poured a Shirley Temple over him, Locke lost it and threw his own glass against the wall before storming out!!! HILARIOUS!

- Topaz was out and about with the Island portal on the fritz. We hear that she was spotted at a local bookstore chatting up with a man that was NOT her husband!!! OOoooh!

Fido on the Chopping Block Tuesday!

Venom Vinny certainly seems to get around, no??? Tuesday night the dueler was spotted hanging out with TRASH-tastic Jade in the Red Dragon Inn. TRASH-tastic Jade’s on-again/off-again man, Michale, was seen stomping away from the duo. Jealousy much??? Now Venom Vinny is married but, as we’ve seen, that certainly doesn’t stop his philandering ways!!! He was overheard saying that he wanted to see TRASH-tastic Jade in a spandex jumpsuit. Kinky! In fact, our sources claim that TRASH-tastic Jade was seen KISSING the married man!!! Now she really is a home wrecker….

The patrons of the Inn got a two-for-one deal of hot tenders as SUUUUUPER Des and the gorgeous Amber were both spied behind the bar! SUUUUUPER Des just seemed to be there to cause trouble while Amber was doing most of the normal bartending duties. At one point the SUUUUPER one was actually seen throwing pretzels at Icer!

Amber, on the other hand, had the pleasure of meeting another Helston. The Gov Kitty was seen chatting with Simon Helston and introduced him to the innocent Amber. We really think that The Gov Kitty should keep allll Helstons awaye C from innocent, impressionable minds!!! Fortunately there was no corrupting going on as Amber was absolutely beside herself that Cook had decided to roast up her pet turkey, Fido!!! You just had to know that Amber having a pet turkey wasn’t going to end well!

Atalanta was again seen getting to know Locke better!!! We had thought this was a good sign about Atalanta’s character because Locke certainly seemed well-mannered and respectful. However, after his run-in the night before with Lydia, in which she tossed the contents of her glass on him, we’re not so sure! Maybe they’ll get together and be evil!!! RhyDin needs a good evil genius couple!

Speaking of HAWT slightly evil couples, The Gov Kitty was seen with Tass and DoD-er Charlie was seen with Tareth. The Gov and Tass shouldn’t be allowed in public because they just cannot keep their hands off one another!!! They should be locked in a room for a month to get it out of their system. It’s nice to see The Gov so happy, though. She certainly deserves it! As for Charlie and Tareth, they don’t seem to be as much the PDA type but they were deep in conversation and DoD-er Charlie was seen giving Tareth a men’s ring before they left!!! We’re dying to know the official status of this relationship!

Late into the evening, Potter Piper was overheard chastising Eless and Stitch for allowing Randy Robert to say some… well, things that we can’t repeat in here to Marvelous Maeve! Eless insisted that she was no where around at the time while Stitch could only laugh! Evidently, Maeve handled herself quite well and kept her dignity intact. Sleeping with that particular dirty pirate would be a blow to one’s dignity that could NEVER be recovered!!!

In the Outback, Sexy Sartan was overheard asking why G’naughty G’nort is now a goat. Yep, he’s a goat. G’naughty G’oat G’nort blamed it all on Edible Elly!!! Score one for the adorably cute witch crowd! We wonder how long she’s going to leave him as a goat! We’re guessing that she probably forgot she even turned him into one!

DoD-er Rena was overheard on Twilight Island speaking with Topaz about her son who is back in town. Topaz seemed quite pleased to have him back in RhyDin and said that he was excited to meet his new half-sister! How cute! We love family reunions and we’re eager to hear more on this grown son of Topaz’s!

Best Tender EVAR Wednesday!

There was some sort of drama early in the evening involved TRASH-tastic Jade and her on-again/off-again man Michale who was present. It seems that TRASH-tastic Jade might be having second (…er third? …or sixth?) thoughts about dumping Michale and we hear that he’s torn between TRASH-tastic Jade and her friend Lana. The pair were seen going off in the alley together but were of course spied on by their friends. Aly was overheard telling Venom Vinny (who if you remember correctly was just kissing TRASH-tastic Jade the night before) that Michale professed his love which reduced Jade to tears. Much to the delight of Aly, the pair returned stating that they were going to attempt to “work things out”.

Lana is so going to go Vampire Hunter on both of their undead tails!

The Gov Kitty was overheard lamenting that we said that Tass bought her a ring when he had, in fact, not bought her a ring. Fine, fine. We’re not perfect you know. Even the Gossip GangSTAR gets some bad information on rare occasions. However, she did show Sylvia a pair of lovely teardrop earrings. Sylvia listened and said sweet things as The Gov went
on about her new man!!! Really, The Gov and Tass are starting to make us nauseous with their lovey dovey routine.

Basalt was tending bar. .. and, man, does she scare us! All we’re going to say is that she’s lovely and wonderful and the BEST TENDER EVAR!!! Whenever she starts talking about hunting we just want to crawl under a booth and cry!!!

Lucky was overheard telling the STUNNING Alysia (yeah, she’s another one we’re afraid of!) that he opened a new business — a shipyard in West End. We hear that he’s not just running the business but is helping to build the ships himself!!! Alysia appeared impressed as are we!!!

In the Annex of the Inn, a small crowd gathered to witness the Baronness Aya Hayashibara defend the Dragon’s Gate Barony in an overtime duel. The Overlord Cletus Ganderfald was present and accounted for but after the match Aya confirmed her stance as renegade. Imp was present to keep score and received some scathing commentary from Aya when he gave her a post-match congratulatory grope!

Congratulations, Aya!

Man Addiction Thursday!

The Gov Kitty was spotted Thursday night in the Red Dragon Inn comparing scales with Basalt and her new friend, Skid. Skid was being AWFULLY complimentary about her looks and talked about how grateful he was that her life was saved!!! Could somebody have a crush?!?! Our sources say that The Gov didn’t even seem to notice! Evidently she was too busy talking about how grateful she was to Tass for saving her life!!!

Casidy and TRASH-tastic Jade vamped it up for their appearance in the Inn. The pair proceeded to get drunk and swear off men for the evening. And what did they do? They talked about men the entire evening!!! It’s an addiction, really. They need to swear off men for, like, a year!!!

Soerl and Savannah were seen hanging out together as well. They chatted for a bit before Soerl scooped up Savannah and rushed for their room! Uh, ew! All this premarital sex is good for the blog but are we the only ones shocked that there is not a single girl in this city holding out for marriage?!?! All we need is one classy, good girl!!!

Speaking of good girls who have disappointed us with their inability to hold out until marriage, dear sweet Sugar was spotted in the Inn and was seen drinking!!! We all know what happens when the little witch drinks!!! Much to the chagrin of her living-in-sin partner Bad Boy Darren, she started strutting her stuff alllll over the Inn! The Gov seemed greatly amused by the antics but tried to keep her out of trouble. Jinx, on the other hand, seemed to be trying to arrange a foursome with Sugar, The Gov, and Bad Boy Darren!!! Luckily Bad Boy Darren was able to escort her out before she lost anymore of her innocence!

Mixing Business With Pleasure Friday!

Cutey Carley and her Hunky Carpenter Glenn were seen entering the Red Dragon Inn together on Friday night! TOOOOO CUTE! This was most certainly a date and we are so happy for it! The pair had warm drinks and playful conversation. Although, Carley did briefly allow her attention to wander to ask The Gov Kitty why winter couldn’t be made illegal. The winter is GREAT! We love snow almost as much as we love the idea of Cutey Carley and Hunky Carpenter Glenn together!!!

Bubbly Uriko was spotted in the Inn! She’s certainly been keeping a low profile lately. However, she seemed in a grand mood!!! With a mug of cider in hand, she was seen by the fire trying to keep warm and giggling infectiously! Oh, how we love her!

We knew that Wil behaving was too good to last!!! Our sources spotted him buying DoD-er Rena a cup of coffee and the pair having an intimate chat together! We told Eless not to trust the man as far as she could throw him!!! Players DO NOT change. He will break her heart! DoD-er Rena seemed politely interested but when her boss from magic school, Artemus, walked through the door, her eyes were on him!!! The pair talked of Rena’s upcoming vacation and that Artemus would be joining her halfway through it. Oooooh! Is Artemus mixing business with pleasure?!?!
