Crossover drabble
Guys, the Three-Sentence Ficathon is on again! I'm going to look through it and hunt for writable prompts tomorrow, but for now, there's this:
Continuing to exorcise some long-standing obscure crossover ideas, here's one I'm sure someone has already thought of, but I've never seen it: A crossover between Buffy and Zork. Yes, Zork, the original text adventure. See, children, once upon a time, before yer Gamecubes and yer Playstations and yer fancy 8-bit entertainment systems, video games consisted of a blinking cursor and words like "inventory", "e" and "xyzzy". And as we all know from watching Buffy, old monsters don't just go away.
They Are Likely To
"Empowering the potentials," the First Evil said to Buffy as the übervamps charged them. "Clever, but you forgot something. Vampires can see in the dark." It snapped its non-existent fingers, and every torch in the cave went out.
There was complete, impenetrable darkness.
Panic.
Munching.
When the lights came on again, every single übervamp was gone. The unharmed girls looked around, happy but a little disappointed.
"My übervamps!" The First Evil just stared. “W-what did you do? Some kind of spell?”
Buffy frowned. “That wasn’t us.”
“It’s obvious, guys,” Amanda said. “It was pitch black…?”
Far below, a grue burped.

My college was in the second wave of arpanet users and most of us spent our time playing Zork. One of the professors had figured out the entire game and eventually hung a sign on his door that he would no longer give out hints.
Good times.
