Konnichi wa Minnasan! Welcome to The Fans Want to Know the show
where we interview members of your, the fans, favorite anime/manga and
hopefully see some delightfully amusing hyjinx!
Xellos; Here here!
In addendum, Naga the White Serpent is hereby banned from ever appearing
on this show, or ever being a member of the audience-- at least until I
get a sincere apology in writing, or Nakago finds her. One of the two.
Yup, he and Soi are still on the hunt, we'll keep you posted as new developments
are known.
Anyway! Enough about the past! Let's cruise right on into the present.
Tonight, as you already know, we have from Slayers Next, Lina, Gourry,
Amelia, Zelgadis, Xellos, and Gaav! Let's get started!
Full name Please!
Lina; Inverse Lina desu!
What is your favorite food?
Lina; Um... do I have to choose?
Well, you could go the Miaka route.
Lina; Will do! Anything! I'll eat ANYTHING!!
Zelgadis; She's not kidding.
~blink~ Deja vu. So! Linachan! We all know you have your heart set on Gourry--
Lina; ~red~ WHAT?!
Gourry; Huh?
Zelgadis; ~sigh~
--but, would you ever consider Zelgadis (if he were ever un-stony made) or Xellos?
Xellos; Ooh! ~pout~ You let out my dirty little secret!
Amelia; My GOSH! How did you do that?
Do what?
Amelia; How did you find out one of his secrets?
Um................ Sore wa himitsu desu!
Xellos; ~giggles like a madman~
Lina; uh.... what?
Would you ever consider Zelgadis or Xellos?
Lina; Wha-- oh, wait... UGH NO!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!?!!?!?!!?
Zelgadis; ~snort~
Xellos; ~looks hurt~ But Linachan! We work so well together!
Lina; Don't make me hurt you Xellos.
Gourry; I don't get it.
Gaav; ~laughs~
Lina; Shut up, you! Don't make me hurt you!
Gaav; ~sticks tongue out~ pbbbbt!
Oh yeah, that was in character.
Gaav; ~shrug~ I'm just misunderstood.
Lina; Right back at you! ~sticks tongue out~ pbbbbt!!
==Lina and Gaav end up in a pbbt fight a la Rei and Usagi from Sailormoon==
Uh... yes.... Gourry! Name please!
Gourry; Gabriev Gourry desu!
How do you clean the Sword of Light?
Gourry; Oh, I use lemon scented sword polish, and a lint free cloth. I need a new one every time though, because the cloth always gets wrecked.
Gotcha. Why lemon scent?
Gourry; It smells prettier than that pine stuff, and the flower stuff is too girly. I have an image to uphold you know.
Then why do you let Lina dress you up all the time?
Gourry; Self-preservation. I can't have an image if I'm dead.
Good point.
Gourry; Thank You! Gosh, I don't know why Lina was so worried about the questions! This was easy!
Speaking of Lina, when are you going to get around to telling her your feelings for her?
Gourry; I tell her all the time. I just never say it out loud because she'd turn red and beat me and then Zelgadis would get that look on his face and Amelia would start spouting off a speech that would just ruin the mood and besides, it makes Xellos feel bad.
Xellos; ~grin~
Zelgadis; You'd never guess if from the way he looks.
Amelia; Linasan would never go out with Xellosan! He's an icky justice-hating Mazoku scum!!
Xellos; I try. ~grin~
On that note we'll move on! Zelgadis! Full name please!
Zelgadis; Graywords Zelgadis desu.
How is your last name really spelt?
Zelgadis; Even I don't know. Rezo kept changing it to throw me off. Damn him!
If you had to chose who would you rather go out with, Amelia or Lina?
Zelgadis; Is death an option?
No.
Zelgadis; But if I say Amelia she'll take me seriously and I'll have to fend her off. If I say Lina she'll attack me.
Is this the face of someone who cares?
Zelgadis; Either way, your studio will get wrecked.
Next question! What's the first thing you're going to do when you get un-chimera?
Zelgadis; Smile.
Xellos; Wow! I can't wait! ~grin~
Zelgadis; Are we through?
Shure! Amelia! Full name please!
Zelgadis; You're going to regret that.
Amelia; Amelia Wil Tesla Seiruun desu!*
So! First question! Are you really that big chested, or is the majority of that kleenex?
Amelia; How dare you! Anyways think about it! My sister is NAGA for crying out loud!
Just checking. Why don't you practice your speeches and poses before trying them out on bad guys? Wouldn't that cut down on the screw ups?
Amelia; I try! Honestly I do! It's just that practicing them by myself feels silly and it never goes the way it supposed to even then! Besides! I like it to be spontaneous!
Zelgadis; We'd like it to be nonexistent.
Amelia; You're so mean, Zelgadissan! But I know you love me! You just can't admit it! pbbbt!
That brings me to my next question! We ALL know you've got the hots for Zelgadis, but what about Xellos?
Amelia; Xellosan?
Xellos; ~leans forward expectantly~
Amelia; Nah. I know opposites attract and all, but he's a Mazoku. That's just wrong. I like Zelgadissan! He's such a hunk! I mean really, just look at that face. Isn't it just the most handsome face you've ever seen? And those EYES!! Oh, I could melt if only he'd stop glaring at me... yeah Zelgadissan, just like that....
Zelgadis; ~sweatdrop~
Ooooookaaaayyy.... Xellos?
Xellos; Metallium Xellos desu! ~grin~
Since it's obvious you have no chance with Lina, is there anyone else in your sights.
Xellos; I rather liked that nice Sarro woman from Dragonball ZL. But she's married, so I just have to figure out a way to get her husband out of the way.
What about Zelgadis?
Zelgadis; ~sputters~ N-nani?!
Xellos; Sadly no, he's not really my type.
Anyone else?
Xellos; Sore wa himitsu desu! ~grin~
Aww... that's too bad! So! Why do you always keep your eyes closed?
Xellos; It creates the proper atmosphere whenever I'm around. People always wonder why I never open my eyes, and when I do.... fwah! They're frightened! It's nice and tidy. I love it!
Interesting. Do you enjoy being a Mazoku?
Xellos; It would be nice if they had a better reputation. So often the nicer ones like myself are overlooked, and the ones like Gaav are the ones that we're known for.
Gaav; You got a problem, Xellos?
Xellos; Oh, my, of course not, Gaavkun! Did it sound that way? I apologize whole-heartedly. ~grin~
Gaav; Okay, good. Hey! Waitaminute!
Xellos; ~giggle~
Gaav! We'll move right on to you! Name please!
Gaav; Gaav desu. DUH!!
Shut up. Just because you have no last name doesn't mean you can take it out on me!
Gaav; Why not?
Xellos; Gaavkun, don't pick fights with the interviewer. It's not polite!
Gaav; Shut up Xellos.
Why didn't you get a sweatdrop when Lina tried attacking you with one of your namesake attacks?
Gaav; It wasn't a proper moment. I was in the process of killing Xellos, which for some reason isn't comedic so I couldn't.
Xellos; People like me! ~grin~
Gaav; I don't know why. What with your 'that is a secret' here and your 'that is a secret' there! It's infuriating! Why would anyone like someone as annoyingly enigmatic as you?
Xellos; ~grin~
Gaav; You want me to wipe that grin right off your face, Xellos?
Zelgadis; I'm with you Gaav. Let's team up. With my white magic and shamanism and your brute strength we should be able to take him.
Amelia; Zelgadissan?!
Zelgadis; What? Everyone knows I hate him! If I have to team up with Gaav to get rid of him, then so be it! Half the women who liked me in Slayers dumped me for him in Slayers Next! It's not fair!
Xellos; Now now, Zelkun, I can't help it if I'm a babe magnet! ~grin~
Zelgadis; ~fumes~ How DARE you! Xellos! RAH TILT!!!
Lina; Ooh! A fight! DO-RA-GO-N--
No!
Lina; SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
==moments later, the smoke clears to show six blackened figures, one extremely satisfied sorceress, and a completely decimated stage.==
O-Kay. Interviews over. Lina! You owe me!
Lina; Can I help it if I see a fight and just react?
Sorry about that folks! But that's all for the Slayers Next interview. Come back next time for The Fans Want to Know when I interview, from Sailormoon SuperS, Usagi, Chibiusa, Mamoru, Tiger Eye, Hawks Eye, Fish Eye, and because The Fans Want to Know, the Flaming Winged Eyeball!! See ya next time!
