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

[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]

No, I-I got lucky. Dean was, though. I tried getting him out.

But you getting him out would have ruined their fun. They wanted us to fight our way out. [Her tone sounds bitter and betrayed]

All the more reason to try, right? Because we're fighters. We give it everything we've got.

Try what? Getting out to ruin their fun? I did that and it made everything worse.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Not even. We try to stay alive, we try to keep moving. For the people we love.

Even if sometimes that means getting a little hurt.

I'm not the one who got hurt. Getting hurt? I'm so okay with dealing with that.
