Gossip Gixie
by karokiba, Minuit, and ubiquitous
1. Missing: Dominion Jewel. Apparently the king has taken to walking around with a glass duplicate to keep the scandal under wraps. On a somewhat related note, hundreds of crows have been flocking to Queen Dovasary's throne room to admire the 'sparkly' her spymistress recently acquired for her.
2. Found: Lindhall's long lost son. We hear the scholar was overjoyed at the discovery that he and Delia had had a child, but Lerant wasn't so impressed. Rumour has it that Bonedancer has also run away to live with Kel and her sparrows in a fit of jealousy.
3. Seen: Rosethorn eating her hat. Apparently Crane is on cloud nine after the sharp-tongued mage unknowingly praised his greenhouse tomatoes.
4. Spotted: Wyldon and Alanna in a compromising position. We thought we'd seen the sparks flying between them, but unfortunately, it was just a hand to hand combat session that had them all sweaty and rolling around the ground.
5. Rumoured: Our lonesome Bonedancer's fallen hard for the lovely Kel. Oh dear. Well, at least he can't pluck this gal's feathers to look like him, unlike his previous birdy companions.
6. Overheard: Roger vowing revenge against yet another innocent black cat. We say revenge is a dish best served cold, and what's colder than the grave? Pity he can't throw a crazy Copper Isles princess at every black cat he finds.
7. Which: Circle mage is regretting not making friends with the Empress, now that her uncle's passed her up as heir?
8. Discovered: A copy of 'How to make friends and influence people' inside Raoul of Goldenlake's desk. We're hoping this means it's curtains for the drapes, although nobody wants to excite King Jon just yet.
9. Rumoured: Sandry has been busy sewing up a storm for her copper-haired friend's big day. Who else can create a wedding dress fit to impress one of the greatest mages in all of Emelan? Clearly Goldeye saw more than magic in his favourite student.
10. Born: A new (illegitimate) heir for Stone Mountain. Doanna of Fenrigh has just given birth to a healthy baby boy with his father's blue eyes. The lord and his mistress have created quite a stir at court already, and it's clear that they aren't done yet.
11. Spotted: Beka Cooper with Rosto the Piper in a relatively compromising position. Beka insists that she was merely trying to kill him, but we think otherwise. Unless she's trying out a new trick called the kiss of death?
12. Breaking news: Duke Roger's alive again. Which young mage is following in the footsteps of his infamous namesake?
13. Correction: reports of the Duke's revival were drastically mistaken. Looks like someone's been playing pranks on yours truly. Isn't the Copper Isles lively enough for the Trickster now?
14. Heard: Despite not being able to defeat the group of young mages running from Namorn, Ishabal Ladyhammer has remained in employ as Empress Berenene's cheif mage. Is this a sign of weakness, or is she just cutting her losses?
15. Which: silly old gixie is trying to out gossip us? We're not fooled by those tasty pasties. Jealousy is an ugly emotion, but green is so our colour.
