Mr. Tensaided

**Mr. Tensaided** is Susan's boss at the video rental story where she works. He is fond of teasing his employees when they come for their paycheck. He also enjoys pretending his customers and employees are in a tabletop role-playing game. As noted by Susan, Mr. Tensaided's geekiness is so great that he surpasses Greg, Tedd, and Justin in nerd behavior.

He's roughly the same height as Susan (5'9").

## History

Mr. Tensaided first appeared in Night Out, where Susan asked him for her paycheck. At first he played dumb but then he revealed that he saw his questions as riddles.

In the summer Tensaided, at Susan's request, interviewed Elliot for a job at the video rental store. Tensaided started the interview with a *Matrix* reference and was disappointed by Elliot's reaction. Then he asked Elliot if he watches movies, plays video games, watches TV shows or roleplays. Susan interrupted the interview to ask Tensaided what he thought about Elliot and Tensaided expressed his dissatisfaction with a *Ghostbusters* quote about a building. Susan told him that Elliot knows Cheerleadra, which made Tensaided enthusiastic to hire Elliot.

When Elliot started working, Tensaided taught him to look up the critic approval percentages of movies.

At Salty Crackers Comics Tensaided argued with Justin about Magickal Gatherings tournament formats as Tensaided prefers Olde School. When Justin learned that Grace hadn't watched *Star Wars* and tried to find copies of the original editions, Tensaided challenged him for an Olde School Magickal Gatherings game to borrow his copies along with a laserdisc player. Tensaided nearly won the game and Grace declared that she would enjoy any edition of *Star Wars* as she would watch them with Justin. Tensaided found that speech beautiful and told them that he would let them borrow his copies even though Justin lost. Justin then drew a card that won the game for him. After the game Tensaised said that he was impressed by Grace's roleplaying.

After Elliot and Susan started watching movies together Tensaided overheard customers who rented movies because they overheard Elliot and Susan talking about them so he asked them to make video reviews for the rental store's website. Susan and Elliot accepted the request. When Susan told him that she had ordered Elliot to phone his girlfriend, Tensaided was surprised that Susan wasn't Elliot's girlfriend and fled in embarrassment.

Later in the summer Elliot showed himself to Tensaided as Cheerleadra. Tensaided asked her to prove that she was Cheerleadra so Cheerleadra flew around the store. Tensaided asked for an autograph and asked how to contact Cheerleadra, who told him to call Elliot.

On one occasion, he thanked Ellen and Nanase for saving a village, possibly during some sort of LARP event or Renaissance Faire.

Before a Magickal Gatherings tournament early in the next year, when Sarah talked about how to build her deck, Tensaided said that she should play to win. When Tedd told Sarah that luck plays an important role Tensaided objected that it's all about skill but conceded when Tedd pointed out how he lost to Justin. In the second round of the tournament Tensaided played against Sarah and lost. He declared that her geek cred was not in doubt and gave her a pair of fake glasses. When Larry called Sarah a fake geek lesbian after losing to her Tensaided showed him a review show video with Sarah to prove her geek cred and told him off for hitting on Sarah.

When Tara showed up at the mall demanding to see Elliot, Tensaided called Elliot, who was there on a date with Ashley. When Voltaire called Cheerleadra "Elliot Dunkel" before leaving Tensaided concluded that Elliot is Cheerleadra, which pleased him.

The next Monday Tensaided told Susan that he would let her leave to help Elliot protect his secret. Susan used his offer when Nanase needed to talk to her.

During the next Magickal Gatherings tournament Tedd started crying because he thought about Pandora while playing against Tensaided, which caused Tensaided to think that his trash talk was at fault.

When Susan and Diane were at the rental store together Tensaided was confused by their similar voices.

## Relationships
