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 body. Buffy's eyes fly open and she grabs the man's shirt, shooting her knee up into his gut]

Boys. You just can't resist a fall and faint.

[There's an audible crunch when she slams his hand hard into the ground, rolls to her feet while simultaneously forcing him to his back. The sharp heel of her boot digs into his throat.]

My bad. I thought I could try the whole damsel in distress thing. Turns out I still suck at it.

[She removes her heel only to kick him hard enough in the temple that he goes unconscious.]

It's like Homecoming all over again.

Dawnie, you okay?

[ooc: Sponsors, fighters and viewers at home all welcome. I am actually okay with killing her provided a character actually can kill her. She's killed goddesses, ancient vampires and the first evil. Girl doesn't go down easy. writer@allengames.com if you've got questions or want to arrange something]

The Deities sure do seem to have a thing for death lately.

[Said as the guy starts to get up and attack. Eliot rolls his eyes, grabs the guy's shoulder to pull him forward for a head butt that knocks the guy out.]

Cause I'm thinkin' just knockin' people out isn't gonna do the job to get us outta here.

Yeah...I'm sort of getting the picture.

[Buffy swallows hard and weighs the knowledge that she's going to have to kill some of these people. She's entirely too much of a survivor to let someone kill her. And then there's Eliot to consider. It's not that he can't take care of himself because he really, really can but she can't leave that all him. She takes the stake Menolly's squirrel brought earlier out of the waistband of her pants and flips it in her hand. This is going to be a lot to deal with in the morning but it's not like she's got much of a choice here.]

Are you still going to respect me in the morning?

[It's actually kind of sweet that she thinks he might not. But then again she doesn't know anything about his past since he's gone through great lengths to keep it from her for fear of her not wanting to be with him anymore. So he just smirks and nods.]

You bet, Rocky.

[Then he turns away to fend off another attack, to survive more or less. He sticks close to her, occasionally working with her to kill off another foe but mostly getting it accomplished all on his own one by one. It really won't bother him so much in the morning as it might Buffy.]

[There's only one way Buffy can deal with this and that's to go into absolute General mode. She turns hard, cold and pushes away anything--emotion or thought--that won't contribute to the battle. She's fluid, efficient and effortless. It's part of the reason Buffy has her 'no killing humans' rule. It's too easy. She doesn't have to do anything except not hold back and it's clear watching her that's what she's been doing. She takes the lead, perhaps unconsciously shuffling people back to Eliot but she can't help killing a couple on her own, one with a stake and one with a kick to the jaw that breaks a neck. She's not going to think about that. Not now. She's going to get out of here alive.]
