48th Slay [action] They'll have to go through you first

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is in full patrol mode. She's even got the commando thing going for her with black cargo pants and a black turtle neck. The bright red pea coat isn't exactly military issue though nor are the fashionable high heeled black booties she's wearing. She's got her hair pulled back into a ponytail and she's wearing a sling style back pack filled

[action: just get her out of the water long enough.]

[Of course it isn't easy. It's the City. If anything were easy here, people would complain less.

Not that Charlie has anything to complain about. She had her water. She had her fins. She had her family. Life was---except now she sees something in red walk by and she wants it. Whatever it is. She does so love the color. She swims towards the surface of her watery territory, peeking just above the surface to watch Buffy and the red jacket.]

[action: ]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy steps back when Charlie pops above the water. She knows that face but she definitely doesn't normally have fins.]

Oh...hey. [Here's a wave.] Didn't realize the City had included Ariel in this whole shebang.

[action: ]

[char_he_mcgee]

Ariel? [Land-dweller, what are you talking about? Charlie tilts her head just slightly.] Never heard of them.

[She's watching the jacket, now.] That's very red. I like it.

Re: [action: ]

[whattingawhat]

Of course not but that would have been [considering and brow furrowing now] potentially child hood scarring.

[She looks down at her jacket and takes another step back.] Thanks. It's new. You could try it on if you wanted.

[Derek makes a showing. He's in the shadows, veiled by a spot of darkness. However, his voice should be recognizable to Buffy. It's been a long week of feeding on random bystanders. However, he's also fed on one Slayer so far this week. And after feeding on Faith and getting a taste for what it's like to taste Slayer blood, he's kind of craving a little more.]

Hey, Buffy. Out here alone?

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat]

[She's pretty aware of what Derek has become this week and she's been hunting him. It's lucky that she found him today. She gives an exaggerated shrug and a 'hmmm I don't know' face.]

Sort of the gig. That whole alone thing so I'm kind of used to it. [She has one of the wooden stakes in hand before she ever takes a step toward the shadows.] It's got to be getting to you though. You're not really an alone sort of guy, are you?

[Action]

[bloodcakedarmor]

Oh, Cam's around here somewhere. I'm not alone. I am a little hungry though. [He steps closer to Buffy too, spying the stake and then stopping short. His gaze lifts from it up to Buffy's gaze. He hadn't really expected that, but maybe he should have.]

It's so easy for you, isn't it? Killing people you know... [Yep, he's about to use his profiling skills to make you feel like shit, Buffy. He'll feel bad about it later.] Killing in general, sure but... you and me, we've worked side by side here for awhile. And you just come at me with that thing without a thought like it's the easiest thing in the world.

Re: [Action]

[whattingawhat]

[She can't pretend that it doesn't get under her skin. She's already killed Charlie today and that one was graphic and difficult. She expects this one won't be any different. When she speaks it's clear by the tone and timbre of her voice that he is getting to her. The problem is...Derek isn't telling her or making her feel anything that she hasn't thought about and felt herself.]

It used to be hard. It used to give me nightmares and then I grew up. You're not my friend anymore. My friend is dead and you're just the demon that took over.

action: probably should make it a beheading

[trollsbackwards]

(( ooc: because it'd be hilarious after math and new CR? ))

[ the best thing about troll vampires is that they glow. finding Karkat? hardly a problem. he's like a goddamn beacon, all white instead of gray and just pretty much loathing it something fierce. mostly because he's taken to staying out the last few days, so as not to bite Sollux accidentally.

Karkat's pretty out in the open, kicking a stray can and muttering incoherent swears under his breath. ]

Re: action: Can do

[whattingawhat]

[ooc: new CR is always fantastic.]

[The glowing makes her pull up short, cautious because she hasn't run into anything that glows yet. She reaches for her scythe, that sort of familiar go-to weapon, and advances a little closer.]

Let me guess...you're a vampiric Christmas tree?

action

[trollsbackwards]

[ Karkat pauses in his can-kicking, temporarily stopping in the abuse of its tin casing. his glare is only half assed at best, more withering instead of barely contained irritation borderline rage. ]

The fuck is even a Christmas tree? If you're going to assault my articular sponge clots with lame brain one-liners at least make them somewhat comprehensible!

[ gives that can one good, hard kick. ]

Though the attempted wit is lost in the massive throes of cultural barriers, yes. The term "vampire" is the same fucking thing as a rainbowdrinker, correct?

action

[whattingawhat]

[She's just giving him an utterly confused look. It's not usual for her opponents to talk back but really?]

And your witty banter is top notch there.

[She's hesitant to hurt anyone who isn't actively hurting others but she's also become aware that this is the 'cure' to the curse the deities have given them. She shifts the scythe's weight a bit in one hand.]

Right and rainbow is code for blood in your world?
