Fiction mission idea: get an excuse to write/draw Xelloss in a suit, make up own ideas about the Slayers, and a chance to play modern-world jokes with the gang.
Mission result: a start for something, and a fun time while writing it. Slayers Always was by no means meant to become anything special but fun. Do not take this especially serious. but it served it's purpose, the author is having fun. one can hope that it will come to entertain others as well, in spite of the weird humour and the strange plot.
This story is the result of too many Slayers Anime Video Marathons, a steadily growing Otaku mind in rapid progress, too much creativity, too many late night hours, too many over-sugared cups of tea, and strange influences combined with a grown in whacked sense of so called humour.
To read this fiction is a pure self-inflicted act, don't blame the author if the plot-holes left your sour.
Any likeness or similarities to actual real people or events, trademarks, companies, etc, are purely coincidental. yea. right. sure they are.
No Rezos were harmed during the making of this fiction.
Rick: Hey, OBJECTION!
No Mazoku were harmed more than they deserve during the making of this fiction.
Xel: Uh. Wait a minute…
Many thank yous to the people who actually dared to send in their comments and you who urged on for more. Special thanks to all the people who inspired me, famous, infamous, unknown. Special thanks to the ones who helped me through the making. Thanks Silvestris. Thanks to my friends at home for pulling me into it all. Thanks to you who keep kicking me here and there when I get too mushy. And a note of honor to my ceiling fan, which presence has made these hot summer nights able to stand.
And remember; bombing an author because of a horrid reading experience may be a sign of good taste, but it's still illegal!
