Following a suggestion from [[Joss Whedon]], the production team decided to create this website for real, complete with poetry (described by Xander as "Always a sign of pretentious inner turmoil", leading the [[Scooby Gang]] to wrongly believe that Cassie had death on her mind and was potentially suicidal) and art from Cassie.
