36th Slay [Video]

[The video flickers on to Buffy in a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. She's got her hair pulled up and her hand rests on a punching bag that's still swaying slightly. She doesn't turn to the video when she speaks]The thing about weaknesses...they keep changing. Or at least some of them get more priority than they used to. Once upon a time, my ( Read more... )

...technically, you have to be in water to drown.

[What else is she going to say to all of that? She knows how that unfinished sentence would have finished. So if anyone else has any ideas, she's listening. In the meantime, she's sticking with the technicalities of drowning.]

Re: [ voice ] whattingawhat June 8 2011, 19:29:06 UTC

[Of course Dawn heard the whole thing. Buffy hates the City...most of the time]

The whole drowning in water thing, worse than it seems.

[ voice ] the_dawnster June 8 2011, 19:34:45 UTC

I don't know, it already seems pretty bad what with the whole asphyxia from suffocation thing.

Re: [ voice ] whattingawhat June 8 2011, 20:12:08 UTC

Well there's the whole water up your nose thing. It sort of gets left behind with the asphyxia thing.

[...oh, Buffy.]

Hey. You're--I mean. I don't...really know your situation at home [...yes. He does. Entirely.] but I...am...pretty sure that you're not in it alone. Friends are for helping...and...throwing metaphorical life preservers... I'm sorry, that's really lame.

whattingawhat June 8 2011, 19:34:05 UTC

I've got friends and they do help. They want to help. It's just...more volunteery help and less responsibility of the have to kind and that in turn makes me responsible for them which is...I've been lucky. They're all safe as houses. If you can really count houses as safe.

waitsforever June 8 2011, 20:14:38 UTC

Course they have to. They're your friends. That automatically makes them responsible for you or else they don't count as friends anymore. You don't have to take everything on yourself, Buffy. [Shit, getting too familiar.] There--I...mean...I...have a friend like you...

[That is not a good save, Rory. At least it's true.]

whattingawhat June 8 2011, 20:21:15 UTC

it's more of a everything heaped there kind of thing than a taking kind of thing.

[Narrowed eyes and her curiosity is piqued. She hears the not good, true save]

And?

[It's shocking how he just can't ignore this after hearing how she died and came back.

He just can't.]

There always seems to be someone to die for.

whattingawhat June 8 2011, 20:53:36 UTC

[She's not terribly secretive about the whole dying and coming back thing. It's more the 'never mentioning where she was before she came back thing' she tries to keep a reign on. She knows Dawn knows but she'd rather not remind her. Besides it still hurts to say]

No matter how horrible the world gets, it's still the world and people and...worth dying for.

1charmingangel June 8 2011, 21:00:16 UTC

And the dying and the coming back to learn about that all over again.

It's bicyclic. You know, like those exercise bikes you ride for miles and never get anywhere.

Still on that died-twice thing, B? Cut it with the broken record.

[ Because yeah, Faith gets it. And really there's not a damn thing she can say. Buffy's right and it sucks. ]

Re: [ video ] whattingawhat June 8 2011, 22:42:30 UTC

Hey, I didn't mention the first time.

[ video ] commarogue June 8 2011, 22:46:09 UTC

Point. Guess I'm being all preemptive and stuff, then.

Re: [ video ] whattingawhat June 8 2011, 22:52:07 UTC

You say preemptive. I say nosy.

[Aya comes in and leans against the wall. For a moment, he's quiet before.]

Need a sparring partner for awhile?

Re: Action whattingawhat June 9 2011, 01:23:57 UTC

[Buffy looks up at Aya and shrugs]

Sure. I could hit something that hits back. If you're good with it.

Re: Action onceaweiss June 9 2011, 01:25:11 UTC

I can take it.

[Which really isn't bravado talking. He really can take it. So he pushes away from the wall to head over to her.]

Re: Action whattingawhat June 9 2011, 01:32:59 UTC

[She meets him half way, standing in a loose offensive stance before she nods and takes a swing. She's telegraphing and pulling her punch, testing whether he really can take it. Hurting Dawn's boyfriend, not to mention someone she considers a friend, not on her agenda for today.]
