In Other News...

Ahriman (TheAngraMaiynu): No news is good news when it comes to a creature like this.

Aldous the Axe (SMI Axe): The mysterious right hand to Management made an appearance recently, laying down the law to an interloper who claimed incorrectly to be hired by Management to work in the Silver Moon Inn.

Alexander Camael Woods (Terra Nephilim): He hasn't been out lately.

Anna (AriannaRavenwood): Still no change here, the blue sister, along with her husband Galen (Galen Ravenwood) and son Brion, is content to remain at present at her husband's clan lands with her twin sister and her immediate family. Arianna celebrated Mother's Day with her family.

Ariana (ArianaMacGyldren): The green sister, along with her husband Galen (Galen MacGyldren) and daughter Elaine (Elaine Aqua), still resides at her husband and brother in law's clan lands. She continues to worry about her one heartson Neko (Jibudoka Neko) because there's been no word since his last letter detailing orc battles. Other than working at the bakery and refusing to deliver pastries for a certain tender's shift, the green sister still is in private mourning and is planning to avenge her son's murder.

Auggy (TSgtBenson): The youthful mechanic has bought the old firehouse with his girlfriend Irina (Irina Braeden). Unfortunately, unexpected duties kept him from attending Irina's prom.

Calypso (Lady Proudfoot): She is still entertaining her adoring public.

Carmine (TaciturnMerc): He is keeping busy while Dris is out of town. The house is kept clean, his son is pretty well settled in, and all that remains left to do is to collect this month's debts from those that owe the Silver Moon Inn money.

Carolyn Valkonan (DreamsinBurgundy): She's excited about her finals ending, and the fact that she's been asked by Olivia (DeceptiveReverie) to stand up in her upcoming wedding. Carolyn's never been a flower girl before, and the dress fittings and everything just has her head spinning!

Cassiel (InvertedDarkness): Having completed the task that he set out to do, he has returned to his previous duties of making sure that the tears people shed are properly cared for and respected.

Cathryrynn Smythe (AShadow0fMe): The Herbalist, affectionately nicknamed 'The Old Owl' has had her hands rather busy the last few weeks tending shop, responding to emergencies, and attempting to keep her single employee and friend, Random, sane. It appears that someone has taken his Lady friend, and the Elf is having a very difficult time keeping it together.

Deputy Marshall Wynter (Rachael Wynter): The scarred law woman in black still investigates various crime sprees, including a recent series of muggings in the slum areas. Rachael is currently investigating the murder of one Larry "Grabber" Nelson, the kidnapping of one Irina Braeden (Irina Braeden) and the alleged assault of Morgan Knight at the Silver Moon Inn on April 6th. She's frustrated in her investigations because to date no one's come forward with any information.

Dechirant and Fayalki Wynter (Dechirant, Fayalki):Fayalki and Thorm discussed some plans for the summer festival on Horseshoe Island.

Doctor Maranya Tatiana Valkonan (Maranya Valkonan): She's tending to her patients as usual, including one of the tenders at the Silver Moon Inn. The good Doctor continues to spend time volunteering her medical services at a local free clinic and continues to consult with Doctor Jacobs about a mutual patient. Maranya has currently locked herself up in her laboratory with regards to certain medical experiments.

Elaine (Elaine Aqua): Elaine has absolutely stopped making cinnamon rolls and continues to work really hard on her studies. She wants to make her Ma, Da and Unca Don (Donatelio Harada) proud of her and doesn't want Missus Carmichael (MissusCarmichael) mad at her at all! She still misses her brother Banshee (Banshee Aqua) and really truly doesn't believe he's truly gone. Elaine made breakfast in bed for her Mama on Mother's Day.

Emmy (Empress Grayfur): Lately the Empress Emerald of Grayfur has been spending her time sunbathing on Elaine's open school books and daydreaming of what could be. She has expressed in intense interest in desiring to prowl and has been seen less and less at home over the past couple of weeks.

Erasimus Greene (PersistanceTime): There is still no news on the crazy gnome.

Irina Braeden (Irina Braeden): In this week's installment, Irina's on paid vacation from Blackjack Adventures, made a few new friends, staying at the Moon or Northedge, studying Spanish and First Aid, bought a house with her boyfriend Auggy, went to her prom at Northedge (without Auggy), got a present for her Mama for Mother's Day, still didn't catch the viruses out there yet!, hits the local inns most every night and yet she still finds time to work on the next issue of Bright Suns. All in all, a pretty typical week for this native Rhydin resident. Stay tuned.

Joker (SMI Joker, Richard D Harker): The flirtatious bartender for the Silver Moon Inn has recently been picking up a lot of overtime pay tending bar. He's keeping an eye on his younger brother Nige (Peter N Harker). Joker is currently under the expert medical care of the Valkyrie (Maranya Valkonan).

Joshua (Fashion Error): He has finally checked out of his room as he is going to be away for two weeks as he finishes up with his business on Earth. He has plans to return to Rhydin.

Jules (Jules Braeden): She recently had to deal with a rather nasty virus that infected her computer and threatened to wipe out her files, but she was able to contain and delete it. She is currently quite pleased with the news of her little sister's upcoming wedding, even if it means she has to wear a dress. She is now shopping around for the perfect gift.

Mallora (Ma11ora):The Mistress and her daughter Valleana (Va11eana) wish all the mothers out there a very happy Mother's Day.

Matakhat Cain (Matakhat Cain): "Cat" Cain just returned from a wild west adventure where she watched Seamus and Rose use their guns to help Rose's brother end his troubles in the town he lived in. Witnessing Rose in a shoot out, Seamus sick and eventually getting shot, various others injured and killed, Cat saw more violence and brutality than she ever imagined and it has affected her in a big way. She's spent the last few days quietly at her apartment at Northedge trying to recuperate from the journey's emotional impact.

Melly (Melanie Wyndham): Will the shy relief baker and counter help at Ariana's Divine Delights Bakery ever tend bar at the Silver Moon Inn? The world may never know.

Mer Harris (Heavy Metal Mer): The Virtual Adept has been busy, as usual. Between brushing up on cyber- and nanotechnology, she's found time to move into Gemethyst's house, apply for a job that isn't freelance or part time, and revisit with old friends like Mesteno (Bronze Mesteno), as well as meeting new people like the Sadist's boyfriend Michael. So for the moment, life is good!

Mervyn (Vicious Mervyn): Still relentlessly guarding the till at the Silver Moon Inn.

Mestrangelo (MestrangeIo):The purveyor hasn't been seen much out and about lately, most of her time taken up with business and care of the new members of the Hive. On those few occasions she has stepped out, Mestrangelo has been less social than usual - and that's saying alot. The week looked up, though, when the Wraith (MK5 Wraith 42080) returned from parts unknown, after leaving abruptly one night earlier in the week. The pair threw themselves at each other - literally - Saturday night, completely out of character for two of Rhydin's most private individuals.... and they haven't been seen since.

Mithril/Gadreel/Lusus (ASaintOfSinners): The business that has kept him out of town is finally at an end and he has returned. Rumor has it that he is looking into buying a few buildings, but nobody knows if this is accurate, or more importantly why he would need such things.

Morgan Knight (Morgan Rampage): The Knight scion has disappeared entirely from Rhydin on the heels of car-accident rumors and various unpleasantness. And there was much rejoicing.

Mozart (AmadaeusFelidae): Plots are still in the works to put that strange human invader in his place. He is currently biding his time.

Orion Ksyhsravor (Orion Ksyhsravor ): Having disappeared on a mission for the Council -- and taken one Mer "Heavy Metal" Hariss with him -- the Jedi has yet to return to Rhydin.

Parhi Grimjaws (The Multifarious): Parhi is keeping Mallora company at the Divine Delights Bakery.

Random Myrcandis (Phoenix Nocturne): No news of Suliss, and the Wolf (Kaotic Artist) has been scarce as well. It does not make for a happy or sane halfbreed. Not at all.

Rei (AmethystStarfall): Rei has been his usual cheerful and irascible self. He has been having troubles with his audio hallucinations lately as he swears he hears the stars sing out to him. It has gotten bad enough that he sometimes drops what he is doing to go out and listen. Fortunately a man by the name of Cheriour understands what is going on and is helping him learn how to ignore such things. On a more normal note, he stole some flowers from the gardens of other people and gave them to Gem for Mother's Day.

Royce Kingsley (Royce Kingsley): Dris's nephew is putting the final touches on his plans to wed the Lady Angelica Cain. Why Sir Kingsley would wish to marry such a woman, perhaps only he knows for sure.

Scott Candor (Doc Cerebrum): BEHOLD! -- As the self-styled MASTER OF MINDS enters a whirlwind romance with a Rhydin girl! Can love form in a week? Can a lasting relationship be built in days? STAY TUNED!

Stephen Valkonan (Stephen Valkonan): Finals have kept him busy as well, even though HIS work has been grading! Prom went well, where he spent time in the engaging company of Cat (Matakhat Cain) and Irina (Irina Braeden). It was a good relaxation period after the stress of having Cat run off for almost an entire week after Seamus and Rose. Time to see what the next week or two will bring...

Suliss'urn (AShadow0fMe): Most often described as creepy, cliché, She who goes Bump in the night, and the Porch gargoyle; The Drowess has apparently been kidnapped. Rumor has it that her mate, Random, found the dagger he had gifted her not a day before, stuck firmly in the ground before the SMI. Suliss' according to the grapevine, is not one to go throwing weapons about left and right. Enraged, and close to breaking, Random sought the Drowess' only other friend for help and information, 'Kai. Random has been seen traveling the portals since then, with his Pseudo Dragon Mine, looking tense and distressed. No further word on the location Suliss'urns safety, or why she was taken, has been sent.

Terrance Tomar-Duncan (TerranceTomar): It's been a nice quiet week. Terrance ran into old acquaintances during the week while shopping. He's raiding home improvement stores again and learning that two-door sports cars with no back seat are very bad for transporting things like rolls of carpet and paneling.

Tomas Dante Diablo (Rev Diablo, Revered Tengu): The Rev is currently spending time with Cadence (Cadence Halliwell) and working on taking care of business with the party or parties who have been causing him trouble lately.

Twelve (The Multifarious): After the movie marathon was over, the unstable wreckage collapsed downward to the Earth's Core. Finding himself captured by the superintelligent race of pterodactyls that ruled the realm beneath, Twelve took his lesson from Joe Don Baker and declaimed - "You think you can take me? Go ahead on. It's your move." Getting no answer, because unknown to him the scaly monstrosities were deaf, he picked up the biggest stick he could and hit them with it. Since this stick was approximately the size of a bridge piling, the superintelligent pterodactyls are now sadly extinct. When a guy with a hot air balloon offered to take him back to the surface world, Twelve accepted and soon found himself drifting over the northern mountains. After a small accident got him stranded , Twelve met a wizard whose tower had been raided by gremlins. The wizard made the troll-kin a deal - if Twelve would retrieve some of his stolen valuables, he would give Twelve a magic ring. Twelve, who was on the prowl for a magic ring anyway, accepted. Now the multi-limbed grikkyn is running around looking for some startling objects d'arte.

Valleana (Va11eana): She wishes all the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day.

Ynik (The Multifarious): The lizard-like ascetic met with Anorlas Thursday night at the Silver Moon Inn. He exchanged payment with the master jeweler for a small package whose contents remain obscure. After congratulating Irina on her impending nuptials, Ynik announced that he was going to be out of touch for some time to come. It may be that his search is over...

Yoshi (KitsuneNineTails): Currently the crazy kitsune is prowling through town making sure that every tavern with a jukebox is stocked with copies of the Hamster Dance, the Chicken Dance, and the Muzak rendition of 1001 strings playing Muskrat Love. He has also found a new "friend" to torment and is thinking of the best bait to lure the extremely lawful and teach them how to have fun.

Zelphina (XZeIphina): Still missing.
