SMG and Buffy Chatting
PrevNode Link[ SMG and Buffy are sitting in a restaurant chatting. ]
Buffy: So, how’s life in the Selinaverse?
SMG: Oh, it’s great! We have milliard years old talking and sentient cats who converted to Judaism; I have Moses, King David, Aristotle, Socrates, Q, and Kai Winn on my Pidgin’s contact list; I can travel to Bajor, the Klingon home world, or the planet Vulcan, and the Q Continuum has some positively awesome scholars.
SMG: But like the sword of Damocles story goes, we live under constant threat from the advanced technology that we, our friends and our enemies possess. It’s a risk we have to take as characters inside a fictional world.
Buffy: Interesting. By the way, how is Selina there doing?
SMG: She is doing fine, given the fact that she is the most famous college student on the planet now, and the origin of our entire fictional universe’s name. Actually, Katie Jacobson kinda pretends to resent her for our world not being called the “Katieverse”. Selina ended up co-authoring a screenplay along with our Shlomi Fish which she swears is based on what really happened to her. Then she got Emma Watson to play her, co-starring with Wil Wheaton as “The Guide”.
Buffy: Wow! You have an Emma Watson too? Does she also charge an arm and a leg for her films there?
SMG: Yes! And they found a studio which was able to afford her. The film has been highly acclaimed and received many nominations.
Buffy: I see. Here, Shlomi Fish’s screenplays are still quite obscure.
SMG: Ah, that’s a shame.
Buffy: Yes, he told us he’s working a lot on publicity and human networking so that may change soon.
[ Buffy’s phone rings. ]
Buffy: [To the phone.] Hi! Sweetie? You could not sleep? That’s quite alright, come here - you have my location on the phone.
Buffy: [To SMG] So you were the Alpha female of the Web 1.0 era?
SMG: Yes! Having starred in the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer starting from 1997. But - Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. Not sure if anyone remembers me now, and Jennifer (Lawrence!) and I joke that one day she’ll write her autobiography with the subtitle of “You used to be Sarah Michelle Who??”. [Reference]
Buffy: [Bursts out laughing.] Yes, seems like the Web 2.0 and Open Content Revolution is drawing to a mostly successful conclusion and now it’s time for a new revolution.
SMG: And I’m asking myself “So, who the Hell is Qoheleth?” — or in plain English, who are the current and future Hacker Monarchs? I personally intend to be one of those.
[ Buffy’s daughter, Miranda, arrives, looks at SMG and Buffy and runs towards Buffy and hugs her. ]
Miranda: I Love You, Mummy. Say, who is this lady who kinda looks like you?
Buffy: Ah, that’s your Aunt Sarah. It’s a long story, if you’ll ever be interested to hear it.
Miranda: Oh, Mummy - I would.
Miranda: [To SMG] Hi Aunt Sarah! Nice to meet you.
SMG: Nice to meet you too, eh…
Miranda: Miranda Michelle Summers!
SMG: Miranda Michelle! Nice to meet you.
