17th Slay [Video || Action] You Miss the Super Chick Within

[Patrolling the Underground is something Buffy does every night. There's almost a comfort in the fact that at least here in the City there's no such thing as a slow night. She's always got something to beat on. Which is what she's doing when the device skitters across some broken pavement and turns on.

"Soap. Look into it. They even have flower scented body gel now."

She kicks the thing she's fighting square in the chest and sends it sailing to land against the wall with a crunch.

"You might even try lotion. It could help the skin condition you've got going on."

She moves in with the stake. Her aim is perfect but only the point of the stake buries itself in the creature's chest. The sound that gurgles out of him is as close to a laugh as anything else. He lunges at Buffy. She's still a bit in shock that the fact that the stake didn't go in but she reacts instinctively with a right hook that should have stunned the creature. Instead she lets out a scream of surprise and out right pain. Her arm feels like it's broken and this is a feeling she remembers. It shakes her out of her shock and she turns to run but her usual preternatural speed isn't there. She slips a little, snags the device and pushes herself up to run again. Balance, grace, speed and strength all off. Apparently she's going to have to get through this with human abilities.]



[ooc: Armistice Day. Backdated to midnightish. If anyone wants to come save her, be my guest. If they don't she'll manage on her own]

--[questions, worry, all else later--the picture moves, he's out the door] Where in above and below are you?

Tarrant! [She's still running. She ducks around a corner and stops to catch her breath.] I'm in the Underground. I'm not sure exactly where right now but be careful. This guy's pretty pissy about his skin condition.

[running footsteps; he move the device, the picture falling on him at last--] I'm coming--is your arm--? Are you badly hurt?

Re: video ][

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-11 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's okay. It just hurts [And really she's not used to this kind of pain. She's generally much more durable] Someone's done something to me, Tarrant. I should have been able to take that guy.

[it's getting darker in his video--he's making his way down] We'll---we'll concern ourselves with that later, Buffy--your safety is a bit more imperative...is the--is it following you?

[Buffy leans around the corner to find beasty thing sniffing the air and lumbering toward her. She starts moving again.] Yup. He's on the hunt.

Xander. Seen any freaky crystals or syringes of stuff around lately?

[identity profile] perspectiveguy.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Around the, uh, the warehouse? No, I saw what just happened - did you --

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Powerless. In the middle of patrol. Deeply not fun.

[identity profile] perspectiveguy.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Deeply. Fuck. Uhm -- what can I do?

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Tarrant is with me now. Make sure Dawnie is okay. I'll be back soon.

[Have a concerned Eliot. Okay so his concern looks more like anger but so does almost every other emotion for him.]

Where are you, Rocky?

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
On my way back to the warehouse. I'm fine. Just powerless today apparently. [She appreciates the concern for what it is]

Powerless? You mean like all the rest of us? What happened?

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah and I'm a baby about being like everyone else. [She can admit her flaws. Sometimes] I was out on patrol. Rockin' the whole slayer gig and then...all of the sudden I hit like a girl. A real girl. Which really not impressive to something the size of what I was wailing on.

Is it still after you? Or did you lose it?

I think it's gone. Tarrant is walking me back home.

[Dawn is watching the video feed with interest. Of course when Buffy fails she's suddenly on high alert. She might be flailing in her mind.]

Buffy? What's going on? Is that thing chasing you??

Re: [Video]

[identity profile] whattingawhat.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay, Dawn. Yes. Chasing but hey running. Stay where you're at.

[Yes she's worried about the flailing]

[Video]

[identity profile] the-dawnster.livejournal.com 2010-11-12 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
But... but you might need my help! What's wrong? Sick?

[Like Dawn ever does what Buffy tells her to do... She's already pulling on the over-sized jacket Xander had let her borrow.]

Since it's the City, I'd say curse. And I'll be back at the warehouse in just a little while. Tarrant is here with me.

Oh! I like him. Tell him I'm fitting the word rememory into like every conversation I can in his honor.

Tarrant is a good guy. He was my room mate for a while when I first got here.
