Introducing the Selinaverse
PrevNode LinkNext[ The Scooby Gang (minus Xander and Oz), Becky, Cliff, Chankey, Martha, Daniel, are sitting at the library of Sunnydale High School. ]
Martha: So what you’re saying is that a vampire used this duplicator from the Q Continuum (like this Star Trek fiction shit) to create copies of himself, and because of his fucking vampire nature, they didn’t duplicate his freaking Psyche, and we got… them pseudo-Vampires?
Buffy: Yes, Martha, that’s what we think happened.
Martha: But this Star Trek’s shit ain’t real, right?
Buffy: Not as far as we know, but most people probably think vampires and demons aren’t real either.
[ Xander and Oz enter through a portal. ]
Xander: Hey dudes and dudettes. We’re back - let's hope the duplicator is safe there.
Buffy, Faith, Willow: Hi, Xand! Hi Oz!
Becky: Listen, all of this reminds me of that guy from Freenode - Shlomi Fish…
Other people: who?
Becky: [more slowly] Shlomi Fish - he is an Israeli writer and software developer. He goes by the name of “Rindolf” on Freenode, because it’s easier for many non-Hebrew speakers to fathom.
Becky: Anyway, he really likes both Sarah the Vampire Slayer and “Star Trek: The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine” and created a world, which he calls the Selinaverse which crosses them both and where Star Trek is real to a large extent. He wrote some stories featuring them.
Buffy: Very interesting, maybe we should investigate this. Xander — you handle it.
Xander: Sure, Becky, we’ll interrogate this Shlomi-slash-Rindolf person in the cutting edge way of talking with him on IRC.
Martha: Yes, this is some motherfuckin’ crazy-ass shit.
Martha: OK, sorry, please brief me about any developments - this is some scary shit, but I’ve got a morning shift’s tomorrow in my day job.
Daniel: Which is?
Martha: Oh! I’m a part-time secretary and receptionist for an architects’ office.
Daniel: Do you also use such profane language there?
Martha: Oh no, when I’m there I’m always [in a different tone] “Hello there, sir! Please let me know if you need anything. You’ll find entertainment there, and we can always chat a little while you are waiting.” and all this shit, but when I deal with vampires and these shitty pseudo-Vampires, I’m much more at my hood’s elements.
Daniel: I see - are you single by any chance?
Martha: Yes, Jake and I are just friends and a team, and I’ve only moved here a few weeks ago.
Daniel: Ah, I see. How about a date then?
Martha: Sure, ah…
Daniel: Daniel! Buffy, Faith, and Willow here also fixed me on a date with a friend of Buffy’s called Rachel. I’ll have to see which one of you I like more.
Martha: Oooh… I’ve got competition, baby. Daniel, do you want to split a cab?
Daniel: Yes, I’d like that.
