11th Slayer [Video] but I'm a supergirl, and supergirls just fly.

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy turns the video on her face and she looks pissed. She's got a gash on her head that's dribbling blood, a bruise on her cheek, a black eye, her lip is split and oh there's a nasty bite on her neck that's seeping blood.]

Really not funny to let the girl who gets beat up like it's her...oh her job revisit all her old wounds.

[The view drops rapidly like she's losing grip on it to show a weeping gut wound. She presses her free hand to it and rights the camera, looking into it]

At least none of it actually hurts?

This time.

[She sounds less pissed off now but then that could be blood loss. Oh well. What doesn't kill her makes her stronger. Literally in most cases]

And shouldn't healing on crack kick in right about...oh at least a year ago. Five in some cases.

I'm going to get more gauze. [And the video flicks off]

Can't imagine. And I'm sure there's a story for each of them.

Do you need any help?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Most of them...yeah. I'm not really fragile.

Any chance you've got gauze lying around. Great quantities of it because I don't think I'm actually going to stop the bleeding here as much as hopefully slow it down.

[She's not entirely sure she should be alone either since it's harder for her to die of blood loss but is entirely possible]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I'll rob a medical supply store on the way over. And I could..probably help you in another way, too.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [And a pause because she recognizes that hesitation] How--no, wait. We can talk about how when you get here.

[Girl stopped an apocalypse in a condition only slightly better than this. She's good even if she does look pale and tired when she opens the door with a wane smile. She's got a towel pressed to her midriff, obviously the most pressing wound at the moment. There's a sticky wad of blood soaked gauze on the bite on her neck and a pad of gauze soaked through with blood on her left shoulder.]

Buffy's Boudoir of Blood. Come on in.

[Yeah inappropriate jokes while in dire situations tends to be a thing]

Y'know, I'm starting to think this "laugh in the face of death" thing is a mandatory requirement for people in our line of work.

Re: [ Action! ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs her shoulder and winces. It doesn't hurt like it did when it was done but it's not painless either.]

Crying makes me all snotty and red in the face. Not the best look when you're facing down a bad guy. I prefer the pretty hair, quippy, fearless look.

[She leads him into a bathroom because Tarrant wouldn't be happy with blood in the shop or the kitchen.]

Re: [ Action! ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I'd say you got it down pat.



Bought out a whole shelf, so hopefully it's enough.

It's on top of my resume: Excels at gallows humor.

[She nods in response and pulls away the towel at her stomach then peels the hem of her shirt up. It's a through and through impalement wound.]

Re: [ Action! ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

That. That's gonna take a lot more than gauze, Buffy.

Re: [ Action! ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

This happened over a year ago, Sam. I just have to keep from bleeding out today. At midnight I'll be fine.

Re: [ Action! ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

One helluva curse.

Re: [ Action! ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't want to reopen all their old wounds? I'm lucky they picked highlights and stayed away from my weekly hit list.

[She's a decent enough patient for this part of things. Getting patched up is a part of a slayer's life. She's lucky she's a little more durable than the average human]

Re: [ Action! ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I gotta admit, I am a little curious how you managed to end up with all these wounds and still have a beating heart.

Re: [ Action! ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

[By that she's going to assume Dawnie didn't say much about her to Sam]
I'm magic. Not like Glinda but...a long time ago some mygonistic old guys had a vampire problem that none of them wanted to fight so they hit a girl with some whammy that made her stringer, faster, more durable with an extra dose of super healing. She was the slayer. That gets passed down from generation to generation. I'm the slayer now; harder to kill than your average cockroach.

[She can get into the other slayers later] And ewww I just referred to myself as a cockroach. I might be dying.

Re: [ Action! ]

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Well, slayer or not, you should probably lay down after we're done here. You might not die from blood loss but we should try to be careful.

Re: [ Action! ]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Lying down is good.

[She doesn't tell Sam that she nearly did die of blood loss once; that it is possible. There's no need to worry him needlessly. He's done all he can so they have to wait until midnight and hope she manages until then.]
