Talk with “rindolf” on IRC.
Node LinkNext[ Becky, Xander, Cliff, and Chankey are all sitting next to their own computers talking on Freenode with “rindolf” (= Shlomi Fish) in a channel called “#sunnydale-slayers” ]
Becky: [on IRC] rindolf: thanks for agreeing to meet us here, I’m a big fan of a lot of the stuff on your homepage and elsewhere, but it seems we have a crisis on our hand, and we need to consult you.
Becky: First of all, your stories are fictional, right?
Rindolf: Indeed, but many elements or trends I describe in my stories have a tendency to materialise after a while in one form or another.
Rindolf: This is despite the fact that they may have appeared unrealistic to some people who read them at the time.
Becky: OK, there’s something we need to admit: The show Sarah the Vampire Slayer, actually has a huge grain of truth to it: there are actually real vampires and demons, and real witches and warlocks with powerful magic, and I am a slayer trainee.
Rindolf: Heh, sounds farfetched, but like Selina in Selina Mandrake, I guess I have no choice but to play along.
Becky: Yes, I guess. Anyway, thing is - we ran into a certain artefact from the Selinaverse world which you describe, namely a duplicator that is the property of the Q Continuum.
Rindolf: How strange!
Becky: Yes, and it was used to duplicate a real vampire into a large number of pseudo-vampires.
Rindolf: Wow! This sounds like a huge crisis.
Buffy: It sure is.
Rindolf: Well, what do you suggest that we do? Is it my fault?
Buffy: No, it likely isn´t. Just stick in there.
Rindolf: It’s interesting that you say that Sarah the Vampire Slayer was partly ingrained in truth. I recall being so in love with Natalie Portman who was the Alpha Female during the haydays of Web 1.0, and a bit after that, despite her being underage.
Rindolf: On the other hand, her doing StVS on T.V. in 2002 sort-of terminated her reign as that, while giving way to Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, and Jennifer Lawrence (♥!) in roughly that order.
Xander: Oh, don’t get me started on Paris and Miley…
Rindolf: Anyway, these are my two favourite parts from the show:
