An urgent situation arises

BY THE WAY, two very important things:

1) I have a new roommate. She looks like Jules! Only more like she might kick me in the face. Anyway, what can you tell me about Buffy Summers? I know you watched that show. I remember you crying over it all the time.

2) Speaking of nerdy shows with good-looking women on them, I need to know everything you know about a Dana Scully.

Do some compiling. Work the noggin. I'll be right over.

Hi, roomie!

So you're Buffy's roommate?

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

That would be me! Shawn Spencer.

OH MY GOD SHAWN, ANGEL'S HERE TOO?

Who? What? Have they finally decided the Bible is a work of fiction, or are we talking more of the telenovela An-hel here?

SHAWN DO YOU NOT KNOW ANYTHING?

Angel. Of Buffy and Angel.

He's Buffy's first love, a vampire with a soul who can't ever experience true happiness, or else he loses his soul and turns evil. Which he and Buffy weren't aware of at the time that they first knocked boots. Eventually she had to kill him and send him to hell but he got better and they resumed their relationship before realizing that their love could never be.

...Well, actually, Angel got his own spin-off, which was really underrated. Up until Cordelia slept with Connor and gave birth to a beautiful, black goddess who actually turned out to have a worm-face.

That there was freaky stuff.

Okay, first of all, this honestly beats the Red Phantom thing for the geekiest thing I have ever seen you do.

Second, I had no idea science-fiction writers were that messed up, man! I'm glad those guys weren't in charge of our stuff. The worst I have to deal with is... you know, Henry.

Anyway, let me see if I have this straight: she's single now, but her ex-boyfriend is a vampire?

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Shawn, do you want my help or not? This isn't being a geek, this is being informational.

Yeah, totally. If we had Buffy's writers, Juliet would be the main character and you and I would be relegated to the role of bait and/or comic relief.

Also the Chief would have turned into a demon.

I don't really know if she's single or not, if Angel's around. They have a very complex and complicated relationship, Shawn.

And he's not just a vampire. He's a vampire with a soul. Learn the difference.

Okay, fine, the geekiness is being put to good use and I appreciate it. THANK YOU, GUS.

I would so watch a show where Juliet was the main character. Especially if she got to kick butt all the time. I'm just saying, I'd even put up with being comic relief for that. (You can be the bait, though.)

Yeah, I think that's officially too complicated for me to get involved with. Even Jules is more complicated than I usually go for and, again, there are no VAMPIRES in that situation. Besides, hooking up with someone you're living with? I did that once and it was bad juju all over. Whatever, it's no problem, I can totally be friends with a girl.

But uh, I can come live with you if they try to throw me out the window, right?

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

The name's Angel.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Cool, dude, nice to... internet-meet you. Are you a friend of Buffy's?

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

You could say that.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Oh! Say no more! I've sensed the truth.

Dude, you don't need to worry about me. But nice job on the spin-off.

[forgedsoul.livejournal.com]

I haven't really looked into it.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Well, I've sensed that it was a pretty big success, so nice going!

[disparages]

Poor Buffy.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Cordelia! That's cold. :( And here I thought we were getting along so well.

[disparages]

Hey, no offense. You just don't exactly fit her usual MO of brooding pretty boy with over-producted hair and sharp teeth.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

I fit... exactly one of those. Think that's good enough?

[disparages]

It's usually good enough for me, but you'll have to double check with her tastes.

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Good enough to avoid getting thrown out a window? That's all I'm looking for, because my insurance doesn't cover that.

CORDELIA!

Shawn, it's Cordelia! Oh man, it sucked when Whedon wrote her off. And the show was canceled the following season. Coincidence? I think not.

[Filter: Gus]

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Oh man, she's with this group, too? I didn't reali

WAIT IS SHE THE ONE WITH THE BLACK GODDESS WORM-FACE BABY THING?

[Filter: Shawn]

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Shawn, Jasmine was only around for one season. Get with the program.

But yes. I'd check on what point in canon this Cordelia comes from, though. Buffy!verse Cordelia and Angel!verse Cordy are very different characters. And the goddess thing doesn't happen until season four, after Cordelia is tricked into becoming part demon to help cope with the pain of her visions.

Oh, right. Cordelia is an actual psychic. Also, she likes shoes. A lot.

[Filter: Gus]

[spenstar.livejournal.com]

Well, she's talking with that Angel guy about their agency, so... I'm guessing "Angel!verse." And I can't believe I used those words.

Wait, she's psychic, too? Why didn't she tell me that? Why didn't YOU tell me that!? Gus, I'm going to need to be careful, here!! There are people here who actually KNOW things, it's not like back home!

[Filter: Shawn]

[mr-ttshowbiz.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's Angel!verse. If she's still talking about their agency, then you're probably at least looking at a pre-season five Cordy. After she gave birth to Jasmine, she was in a coma, and was gone for the entire season. Except for the 100th episode, where she came back and then died.

Oh, man, Shawn. I wish I had my DVD's with me. You're Welcome is such a good episode. Note: pack a 'best of' compilation for my next inter-dimensional preparation kit.

She's not psychic the same way you pretend to be. She has visions when The Powers That Be want to warn Angel about dangerous stuff. She got the visions from making out with Doyle, before he died.

That was a great episode, too. A real tear-jerker.
