20th Slay [Video || Action] Created you a monster

[whattingawhat]

[There's a tiny, unassuming blonde fighting for her life. She's got a gash above her eyebrow that looks hours old. A heavy fist catches her under the jaw and she stumbles back, her head hitting a tree. She goes still, tension leaving her body. Her opponent advances, a knife in his hand. The blade comes toward her throat, the man leaning over her

[ He's glued to the screen. Horrified. Worried. And proud but he tries and keeps his composure. ] They always fall for that!

The advantage to being a girl? I'm pretty sure it was what the Shadowmen had in mind. [She knows you're worried. She appreciates the concern]

Take care of Dawn. And don't let her come down here.

[perspectiveguy]

Dawn wants to go down there?

And bring me weapons. Tell her I've got a stake on the way.

[Honestly, he'd spot her anywhere. But he catches that flash of blonde hair out of the corner of his eye and would know that fighting style anywhere seeing as they had sparred on many occasions and he is ever the studier of combat styles. He moves closer to her, his back to her back as they circle the surrounding foes.]

Playin' damsel, are ya Rocky?

[She makes a full quarter of a turn, fist cocked to hit him when she sees who it is. A smile spreads across her face and she relaxes, falling back into a defensive stance with her back against Eliot's.]

I can't help it. They always fall for it. Playing hero, Sugar Ray?

[Action]

[a_bad_guy]

[They circle around back to back in defensive stance.]

More like playin' survive through this... which is lookin' kinda grim. What the hell's goin' on? Do you know?

[Buffy kicks out, catching an opponent who wandered too close in the chin]

Nope. At least their not lions?

Shouldn't you be more worried about yourself? I'm more worried about you.

[She's not okay, no. Something weird just happened between her and Xander and she has no idea what it was. She just knows she feels awful. But that seems stupid compared to what's going on with Buffy right now. So she just watches the scene worriedly as another person approaches her from behind.]

Buffy! Behind you!

Re: [Video]

[whattingawhat]

[She spins on her heel, catching the approaching opponent in the solar plexus with the heel of her boot then another kick to the jaw. She crumbles and Buffy stays on the move.]

Sorta of goes with the Big Sister territory.

[Dawn is completely tense as she watches the skirmish. She reaches down to a bag she has beneath her bed filled with weapons.]

I'll come help you. I'll bring you extra weapons even so you can... why are they attacking you?

Re: [Video]

[whattingawhat]

No! Dawn. Send the weapons in with the squirrel things. I don't want you in here. Just in case.

They're afraid I might get bored? Or the first implanted chips in their head and is playing a pretty song? I don't know.

[sings4dragons]

... wow.

Re: voice

[whattingawhat]

Yeah my thoughts exactly but yes they really are that deeply stupid every single time.

[sings4dragons]

I didn't mean that. You're amazing.

Re: voice

[whattingawhat]

Oh! Thank you. I've...had a lot of practice. Since I was 16.

[child_radical]

You might not be able to continue being so lenient for long.

[whattingawhat]

Things getting more hairy...hairier...bad on your end?

[She tilts her head and considers Huey a moment]

Please don't make me fight you.

[child_radical]

I'm trying not to die out here. Also I won't fight if you don't raise your hand against me.

[whattingawhat]

No hand raising here. [And then of course she raises her hands up in a classic surrender movement]

Except that but that's peaceful hand raising.

[She shrugs, sighs and then just leaves it be]

Are you doing alright out here? Do you need anything?
