Tanisevania returns!

Much to my surprise, the campaign in which I play Tanisevania is resuming this Saturday *blinkblink* This is totally awesome, mind you, since I do miss playing her (and this time, I’ll get to play her as I intended, without having to worry about a certain individual’s opinion of my roleplaying abilities). I was just under the impression that we weren’t restarting that game until the beginning of October because of schedule conflicts. Luckily, my llovely girlfriend thought we might be starting soon after all, and we were both unsure about it enough that I gave our DM (Heather) a call to check, and ta da!

Anyway, I need to get back into Tanisevania’s mindset quickly. And of course, her mindset is a bit…different than usual because she was still in love with Grim at the point we left off.

This is where I think we left off/what is going on with her:

After leaving Ni-Shan, we stopped back briefly on our home continent, then set out for another one (who’s name escapes me at the moment, and I don’t have my stuff with me, so no checking the map) in order to get Grim and Imari (a badass NPC) to a fighting tournament there. I also believe Grim is supposed to fight in it as a representative of the kingdom we set out from, since he is the King’s Champion. Anyway, after we got there, we agreed to help these two guys – Angelus and Magnus, I think – rescue their sister. In return, they would guide us to the tournament, since none of us have been here before. This is also a desert continent, so she’s been studying the wildlife a bit, having never been to a desert before. However, oweverHoweveshe’s not that happy with it – she misses trees, a LOT. I can’t remember if we’re in the middle of the tower with the sister or not – we probably are, or haven’t even gotten to it yet, considering that I don’t recall checking how hot the sister was (remember, Tanisevania is a big ho). Soooo yeah.

In terms of what happens next, though, Grim is no longer in the picture. He was played by our DM’s husband, who turned into a royal, flaming douchenozzle who runs from all of his responsibilities and everything worthwhile in his life. But that’s another story. I’m expecting our DM to do one of two things – either Grim and Tanisevania had a falling out, and as a result he left the party, or he died accidentally in some horrible painful way. I understand if she goes for the latter option, but I kinda hope she doesn’t, because if Tanisevania and Grim’s relationship is still solid when he dies, she’ll have to mourn him.

So, here’s how she’ll probably end up acting – If she and Grim have a falling out (no matter what happens to him afterward), it will reaffirm her idea that she can’t be in a relationship, and she’ll go back to being fine with being alone and screwing around with whoever she wants to (mind you, she hasn’t been monogamous at all this whole time she was with Grim either). If she needs to vent, she’ll likely vent to Indigo, and if she needs to angst about how love sucks, she’ll likely talk to Imari. If Grim dies before they break up, she will mourn him appropriately, but that in its own way will reaffirm her no-relationships rule – loving someone like that, and losing them, is just too painful, no matter how accepting of death she is. She’ll go through a mourning period, which I’ll need to keep good track of, and return quickly to her usual ways. Afterward, she’ll probably remember him fondly but realize it was for the best. And she’s not going to cast reincarnation on him, because coming back as something other than what he was would not have made him happy.

Damn, with all that in mind, I’m not sure which way I’d prefer our DM to go after all.

But moving on, here’s some things I need to do before Saturday:

~ Go over Tanisevania’s character sheet, backstory, etc.
~ Reread the most recent post about her here, to refresh my memory of the story.
~ Draw her, if I have time (as an artist, that will help me refamiliarize myself with her even more).

All this on top of planning for my own campaign this Sunday, and getting ready to take my trip next week. Busy busy busy. As such, will talk more later.
