Blade: Let's get one thing straight right off the bat. I despise Sasami, and it offends me on a visceral level that she appears in so much damn art that I'm obligated to let her take up space in my gallery.

Epsilon: Uh-huh. Obligated by what? Your massive collection of Sasami pictures?

Blade: ...just WHAT, exactly, are you insinuating?

Epsilon: Nothing. I mean, if the only reason you had pictures of Sasami was because she appeared in a lot of group shots, then this could be a group gallery... So you must have downloaded all those single shots of Sasami for some reason. I'm sure you have a perfectly reasonable one for us.

Blade: Hey, I'm an obsessive art collector, OKAY? My image galleries currently stand at 42,235 pictures, not counting all the ones I have burnt on backup discs! Some of the Sasami art is good, so I get it, even though it's her! I even have some Oh My Goddess art somewhere! And Urusei Yatsura! It's not my fault!

Epsilon: (stage whisper to audience) Methinks the man doth protest too much.

Blade: (veinpop) Shut up. Just...SHUT...UP. And, y'know, go look at those Sasami pictures. Because some of the art is good. Even if she herself has TOTALLY NO REDEEMING VALUE WHATSOEVER. Well, except Magical Girl Pretty Sammy. And that neat bit she did in episode 2 of the OAVs.

Epsilon: Ah. So you don't like Sasami except for the entire series based on her and the major role she played in the OAV. (nods sagely) That isn't completely contradictory.

Blade: No no no! It's not the major role she does, just that one bit where she tricks Tenchi into getting into bed with her sister! Oh, and the fact she takes part in that "Call Me Princess" song which every drooling Net cretin takes as proof Aeka's into S&M and totally ignore that Sasami was just as enthusiastic a participant. I like throwing that in people's faces. But I still don't like Sasami!

Epsilon: Ah. So you don't like Sasami except for all her pretty artwork, her entire series, her value as comic relief and her usefulness in annoying Tenchi fanboys. I see. It's obvious that, like you said, Sasami has no redeeming values what-so-ever. I believe you, really I do. (overexaggerated wink) I'm sure all the readers understand too.

Blade: Oh, go to hell. Or go look at the damn pictures already.

Epsilon: Why? I don't like Sasami.

Blade: AARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!
