9th Slay [Accidental Video] Thanks for making me a fighter

[whattingawhat]

[The video flickers and the screen is filled with largely incomprehensible images accompanied by the sound of cheering and jeering. There's a flash of green, a spurt of red and then lots of rolling. The device comes to rest close to the wall of an arena. Once it steadies out the action becomes more clear. More clear in the 'oh there's Buffy being

...what's wrong?

[whattingawhat]

Spike.

You mean besides the visiting high school again and--

Dawn's gone. Home. Not gone-she's home.

[breakmychest]

Yeah, Angel too. I-- well, home. Least they escaped this place. [Or, at least, telling himself that makes him feel a bit better about it.]

About that. Sorry. I-- least it's nothing we haven't done before? Not that I'd ever-- I know you're not interested in me like that, we're over, you don't need to say anything, we can just move on and pretend nothing happened.

Re: voice | private/moderately unhackable;

[whattingawhat]

Yeah. Escape is good. There should be a party. [Except she doesn't feel like partying. She wants them back. Sooner would be better]

Right. Pretending with much imagination.

It's okay, Spike. Really. It was a curse and--it's not--right. Moving pretending.

Now I'm glad I didn't start a real fight with you.

...Are you okay?

[whattingawhat]

I get that a lot.

Nothing a hot bath, a pedicure and a Molly Ringwald marathon won't fix.

If you'd like, I won't judge you for the truth this time.

Re: private

[whattingawhat]

I got hit in the head several times so you're gonna have to go with my huh and clarify that for me.

Are you judging me for my Molly Ringwald love?

...[just a deeply concerned Hatter--he loves you, Buffy, and though you may be a tough cookie, you will never avoid his affectionate fussing]

[whattingawhat]

[Poor Tarrant. Affectionate fussing is always allowed especially when she's missing people from home]

[10shlling6pence]

..Speak with me?

There must me something--anything or another thing--that I may be able to do.

[whattingawhat]

Tarrant.

...I'm okay. My sister went home. [She could use a hug actually]

I'll be there in a little while to clean up.

[Eliot is just watching, cause really this is like porn for him. But he's also a little concerned cause he knows that kind of fighting all too well. Something's wrong. And he won't belittle hers or his intelligence by asking if she's okay. So he's just watching.]

Re: [Video]

[whattingawhat]

[This is among one of the many reasons she and Eliot get along so well]

[perspectiveguy]

[Buffy...]

[whattingawhat]

[She sees what you did there, Xander. It will not be discussed later with movies. At least he can check to make sure she's okay.]
