I'm not real. But I live in New England, nonetheless.
Having met Victor, I can say for certain that he is definitely not real. He's pretty cool for an imaginary friend, though.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ann, that's a ferret.
People say I'm real. But I'm waiting until all the evidence is in.

I went to dinner with Fred and did not get ax-murdered. By the laws of the internets, I think that means Not Real. Not having met Victor, I cannot yet say whether he will ax-murder me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Why, thank ya, Ms. Kristin.
(I'm finding being imaginary quite liberating, actually. Worcester, on the other hand, is a real place. Not a good place for a large scale F2F unless someone more together than me organizes it, but real nonetheless. I'd go for Salem. Salem rocks.)

It is all sorts of fun, being fictional.

It is. Solves all sorts of dillemas.
Aside to Jilli: Thessaly was all sorts of excited at the prospect of doing the Salem Witch House with you, if things end up there.

Doesn't it? Reacting to problems not with "Ohgodohgod, what should I do?!" but with "So, what would move the plot along?" is much more satisfying.
Oooh, Salem Witch House.

I've met Victor, so he's not imaginary. I've also met Thessaly and can report that she's (a) sexy (b) brilliant (c) made of talent and (d) has excellent taste in coiffeur.

Am I misremembering, or weren't Victor and Thessaly at Kristin's CT send off? In which case, numerous Buffistas can attest to their not-imaginaryness.
