"Undead yes, unperson no!"
Since this is going to be a Buffy/Discworld crossover, and there's probably some people who don't know what the Discworld is,
let me explain in this little chapter. If you do know what the Discworld, and who Reg Shoe, Otto Chriek and the Wizards of
the Unseen University are, go to the next chapter. If not, stay here.
The Discworld is a disc on four elephants who stand on a turtle who swims through space. It's very weird and strange, and
mostly humorous. But the Disc itself isn't that important in this fic, since it takes place in the Buffy-universe. The
characters matter, so let me tell you about the characters I've borrowed from Terry Pratchett, the man who created Discworld
and all its crazy inhabitants.
Reg Shoe: He's a zombie with revolutinary ideas. His goal is for vampires, zombies, werewolves and all other monsters to
have the same rights as humans. He tries to achieve this by handing out folders, singing rousing songs and spraying catchy
motto's on unsuspecting walls.
Otto Chriek: A vampire. But this one doesn't drink blood anymore, and is fascinated by flash photography, which is quite
dangerous for a vampire. He's a photographer for a newspaper, and uses fire salamanders for his flashes, that suck up the
sunlight and emit it when the light is needed. This also causes Otto to crumble into dust whenever he uses the flash.
Luckily, he always carries some blood with him, in case of emergencies. He also has the traditional vampire accent.
The Wizards of the UU.
These aren't your everyday Gandalf-like wizards, mind you. Sure, they know spells and occasionally mess about with the
occult, but they prefer to eat big amounts of food, and not doing anything, especially teaching. Mustrum Ridcully, the
current Archchancellor, is a bit different. He likes hunting and running laps, which the other wizards find unhealthy. In
this story, the Dean, the Senior Wrangler, Ponder Stibbons, the Bursar, and Ridcully are involved. The Dean and the SW are
the traditional eating wizards, Ponder is a young research-wizard who is interested in, well, anything and the Bursar, who
is a bit crazy. You'll see. These aren't all of the wizards, I left a couple out, but otherwise it'd be too much.
Oh, and for Buffy, it's set somewhere in the 6th season. Riley's gone, by the way.
