Because some days you just need to stick your foot in your mouth.


Yesterday was D&D. Since my PC died I am now playing him as a revenant. An undead creature brought back from death to fulfill a purpose they didn't finish in life by a second party. They were not brought back because they wished to. They are now driven to finish their mission, but the memories of who they were in life are fragmented. Which is kinda cool, especially since he was only dead for a less than a day when he was returned to life and is still with the party. He sort of remembers them, but... not really. The continue to call him by the name he had when he was alive, but he's not sure that's his name any more. But that's not what I'm footing my mouth in.

As a revenant, one of the traits is, of course, pale skin and dark eyes with pin pricks of light for iris and a tendency to wear black. When the group was first discussing what a revenant was, someone said "Oh they're goth! And they wear eyeliner and paint their nails black" etc. etc. This was our Outlier. I immediately protested this. Black eyes =/= eyeliner or goth. The DM encouraged him a bit.

The DM also decided to paint me a mini especially for him.

As he was painting the revenant when I was over at his place one day he said, "Oh look, I got eyeliner!" Yesterday the eyeliner was shown to the Outlier and he started rambling about how cool the revenant look, like Robert Patterson (of Edward fame) and the about how the DM should make the revenant sparkle.

At this point our DM had set up the mic - he's recording the sessions for a potential pod cast- and recording our chatter.

At the sparkling comment I said, "Revenants don't sparkle. Vampires sparkle."

Cue huge pause in the discussion as what I said sank in.

The DM started laughing and saying "And I got it on tape! You heard it 'revenants don't sparkle. Vampires sparkle".

My head? It hit table. Several times.

So yeah. Revenants don't sparkle. Vampires sparkle.

sigh.

Maybe I'll turn it into an icon.

Oh no, SMeyer has infected your brain with sparklepires! Quick, go watch some Buffy or something.

Er, what's so horrifying? That you brought up Twilight, full stop?

They brought up Twilight. I said that vampires should sparkle. Which given my earlier protestations that they shouldn't is just a facepalm moment.

Nicely painted mini, he did a good job. Doesn't make me think of Robert Patterson though. They were just trying to find a way to get you off your guard so you'd say something silly! But don't worry, I'll never hear the audio. I can safely pretend it didn't happen... XD ;D

(Revenants don't sparkle, they GLOW! ...I mean, PC Glow and all that.)
