The Quest for Casey

The random number generator has spoken. And joining Insa on the quest to find Casey will be...

...drum roll please...

1. Spike
2. Zoey Westen
3. Pasha Chekov

The log will be going up on Sunday morning! In the meanwhile though, I have a few things for the participants to do, to prepare.

First of all, please take a few minute to either Google image search or Polyvore up a D&D style costume for your character. It does not have to be gender specific. It also does not (and probably should not be) something your character would wear willingly. This will be a part of the plot.

Second, if you could, give me a few sentences about your character's father. I'm looking for a quick, down and dirty physical description, mannerisms, and relationship to your character. Please note that your character does not have to know/remember this if their backstory doesn't permit it.

Finally, in the interest of moving the log along as fast as possible, please consider your schedule for the next two-ish weeks and let everyone know if there are any days or evenings you think you might be able to boomerang. If the players have corresponding days, we'll try to boomerang on them. If not, no matter!

I'm very much looking forward to torturing taking you all out on an adventure!

Okay, I think Angelus works *really* well for a father figure. Kally knows as much as anyone needs to about Angelus, and I can't remember if Wiz does. If you need specific headcanon re: my version of how their relationship went, let me know.

Basically, yes, Angelus was Spike's mentor even if Dru was his sire, because Dru was a nutter. BUT. Angelus was also very abusive and somewhat resentful of his crazy kid's progeny, and what I consider a primary aspect of their dynamic is how nothing Angelus did could cow Spike. Spike was always so boisterous and OUT THERE and human and Spikey, and no matter what Angelus did to hurt or abuse him, Spike would take it and laugh. I don't mean he resisted, or stopped it. He "won," in a sense, by never acting defeated, no matter how broken down he got. And Angelus couldn't figure that out.
