21st Slay [Video] Ain't gonna go to work no more.

[whattingawhat]

[There's a very up close shot of Buffy's face. It pulls out to show a punching bag that's been broken off it's chain. The target on the wall has a cluster of throwing knives at the bulls eye. The training dummy is more splinters than training dummy. Someone has been venting rage and pain. She's never killed a human before. She's killed vampires, demons, witches and things she can't name but never anyone entirely human. It's about the advantage she has over people--the whole using her power for good not evil thing.]

I quit.

[And she turns the camera off]

Buffy shakes her head at Xander. "They wanna watch something? They can watch me do nothing."

"I don't-" he starts, trying to understand all this. "It was a curse, a terrible curse but - you have a responsibility."

"To what? To who? This isn't our world. I'm saving people that the deities are turning around and killing because it's entertaining." She arches her eyebrow at Xander, waiting for him to refute that.

"People in other worlds need saving, too..."

"And what happens when the people who are supposed to be doing the saving turn into the people that are doing the hurting? What then, Xander?"
