Bella snickers. "I suppose I am not the Bard."

"If you were I would be very surprised. You don't look like a four-hundred-plus year old dead man."

"Well, obviously I'd have to be the undead Bard. Or the reincarnated Bard."

"Mhm. Bella the undead Bard. You should write that down, if I ever persuade you to play Dungeons and Dragons. That can be your first character. You can kill people with music."

"Is the Monster Manual racist against undead?"

"Bella. Bella, why would you even ask such a question. The answer is 'Of course.' Of course it's racist against undead, it is super racist."

"So can I get some homebrew deadly-music undead?"

"Yup. If I am to DM, I will be a nice DM. Strange creatures for all."

"Cool. Can we call my kinda undead a 'revenant'? I like the word."

"Sure. Want any cool lore bits about revenants or should I make it up?"

"That's all I have right now, you know better what will fit neatly, I don't even know how to play."

"Right. I'll figure it out, then. It'll be fun!"

"Yeah, ditto here. It won't take up all my time ever, I've got stuff to do, but it's fun."

"How much am I supposed to be inventing a revenant who has no properties in common with me versus inventing one who serves as a good - avatar for myself?"

"That's really a personal preference. Go with whichever seems the most fun."

"Well, I don't know what's most fun, I don't know what my revenant is going to be doing."

"If we had a proper group going I'd ask what everyone wanted to do and then build a campaign around that, soo... I couldn't tell you? Do you want to try and pull off a two-person D&D group?"

"I dunno, maybe if I take a closer look at the game I will wind up disappointing you and not wanting to play at all."

"Fair enough. I mean, no loss, I didn't have anyone to play with before, either."

"He tried to get me to play. It's boring," declares Savannah.

"What's boring about it?"

"Lots of numbers, lots of rolling dice, lots of - lists of things. To choose from, to write down, to look through, and so on. It got on my nerves."

"Numbers? Greaaaat."

"... It's more fun than it sounds, I swear."
