"Hello, little anime web.monkey!
It's me, your host, Xelloss! With me is my
lovely assistant, Amelia. Say hello, Amelia-chan."
"Hi! Ano, Xelloss-san, what's
going on?"
"That's a good question, and I'm glad you asked it!
I have a little puzzle here that I'd like you to muddle over because it
entertains me. If you've been a diligent fictional addict, perhaps
you know enough to challenge my little quiz.
Behold five questions about Slayers Reflect, on these
little cards I'm about to pass to Amelia. Not easy questions, mind
you, you're going to have to really think about what's going on under the
surface to get them. Answer all of them, and then when you think
you have the correct answers, compile the five numbers you picked (say,
if you picked 1 for the first question, put a 1 first, and so on... do
you really need this much hand-holding, silly human?) and fill in the little
x's in this URL :
http://pixelscapes.com/slayers/xxxxx.html
See? Even someone as simple as you could do
it! And if you do it right, perhaps you'll find something interesting.
What is it, you ask? That, as they say, is a secret. Good luck.
And try to look especially frustrated when you get a 404 error... it's
so funny. Amelia, take it away!"
"Umm... okay. The first
question!..."
The character of Melvin Mallorean
is present in how many episodes so far?
-
One (He's
clearly at least in #1 and #2.)
-
Two (After
Reflect #2, he was replaced by an imposter.)
-
Three
(Here, it's Xelloss wandering around as him.)
-
Four (Xelloss
is busy on the ship and wandering around in dreams here.)
-
None!
(What planet are you from?)
Which of these is not actually a legendary
lost lore(tm)?
(note, they're not all LOST.)
-
Image Magic (No;
this is what Luke had forged.)
-
Mirror Magic
(No, this is Silverquick's.)
-
Shamanism (Allyson
forged this. Even if it's commonly used.)
-
Giga's Reality Magic
(The first lost legendary lore, by Giga.)
-
Black Magic
(...but THIS was made by L-sama, not a human! Ding.)
When Zelgadis said Gourry 'wasn't doing
his job', what did he mean?
-
Gourry wasn't able to protect Lina from harm
(Too dashing.)
-
Zelgadis was jealous of Gourry's swordsmanship at
Insect level (Zel? Jealous?)
-
Zelgadis thought Gourry was responsible for listening
to Lina prattle on (Bzzt.)
-
Gourry should be there when Lina needs a shoulder
to lean on (Yes. Gourry IS her
love int.)
-
Gourry was too clueless to understand this quest
(Well, yes, but not RE: this.)
Who is Gourry's 'mirror self', if Lina's
is from another world?
-
The sexist, loudmouthed Goon he met in Episode #1
(Yes. Same home, almost-same
values.)
-
A black-haired barbarian warrior who eats cows whole
(What? This isn't Conan.)
-
An evil and twisted murderer who laughs a lot
(Not quite... too dissimilar.)
-
The captain of the SS Guppy, a scientist
(Dayvid's smart, but not the worst within.)
-
Naga the White Serpent
(OHOHOHHOHOHOO...no.)
Who are the surviving members of the
group in the mirrored world?
-
Lina, Gourry, Amelia
(Gourry died, Xelloss hadn't met yet.)
-
Lina, Amelia, Naga, Xelloss (Yes;
Lina hadn't met/had left each by then.)
-
Lina, Zelgadis, Xelloss
(Zel's toast.)
-
Lina, Naga, Xelloss
(Don't forget Amelia. Aqua's flashback wasn't accurate.)
-
Only Lina survived
(As you'll shortly see... no. >:)
"...thank you, Amelia.
Now, put those two pounds of grey material that are slumped in your brain
to good use, and let's see what we can see, mmm? Or just head back
to the index if you can't hack it..."
(Many of these questions are
about the non-surface issues in Reflect, things that help in understanding
the overall points of the series. If you've got them all right, that
means Stefan-san did a decent job as a writer in conveying such things...
^_^;)
