39th Slay [Voice || Action]
Filtered from Dawn
So the 14th was my little sister's birthday. We were kind of...zombified that day and then we were Depped and then...you get the point. So, I'm throwing her a birthday party today at my place. If you've talked to Dawn, met Dawn or even if you just want to come to a party, you're welcome.
Here's the deal, it's a funny hat party. So wear a funny hat and bring an ingredient to put in or on ice cream sundaes.
Directions are here. Show up around 6:00.

[Action--fast forwarded to Dawn's birthday party. Threadjack, mill around, have fun]
[Buffy's been busy while Dawn was at work. She hung streamers, banners and gathered balloons. There's glitter confetti scattered all over the floor that's going to take years to get up. Most of the training equipment has been shoved off in a corner to make room for a mini dance floor. The bar at the kitchen is covered in various components for ice cream sundaes. The music is up loud enough to be heard but not so loud it has to be screamed over. Buffy is running around in a sundress, wearing one of those cheesy gag, knife through the head hats.]

Re: [ action ]
And presents but you can wait to open if you want.
[ action ]
[See? She can make herself shut up. Sometimes. Her arms wrap around her stomach and she rocks back and forth on her feet from toes to heels.] Chocolate cake is perfection. Chocolate anything is perfection. Did you say presents?
Re: [ action ]
[Buffy picks up a present from where she's stashed it behind a chair and holds it out. Inside she'll find a silver, folding crossbow. It collapses down to a reasonable size to put in her purse. It's engraved with a DS on the side. There's also a supply of bolts engraved with some runes that will make them more effective against everything.]
[ action ]
Ohmigod, Buffy. This is so awesome. I mean, obviously it's an us present and you know I'm pretty good with one of these except this one gets all bendy so I have to figure it out and... oh! There.
[Finally, with the crossbow unfolded Dawn aims it first at the wall and then at Buffy. What? It's not loaded yet!]
Re: [ action ]
[She's teasing and smiling though. She's glad Dawn likes the gift.]
I thought it could come in handy here.
[ action ]
[She grabs one and loads up the crossbow within a few seconds. And yes, this time Buffy is safe because Dawn only points it at the wall. She's grinning and one eye is squinting shut just to practice sighting with it. Of course, as is Dawn's way, her finger twitches on the trigger and the arrow lands in the wall. Dawn gasps, the crossbow down at her side and her other hand over her mouth.]
Ooops?
Re: [ action ]
Maybe we do crossbow practice outside.
[ action ]
[Taking the bolt from Buffy, she sets the crossbow back into the box and studies it instead.] What's up with the symbols? And please tell me you know cause I so don't wanna have to do research at my own birthday party. In fact, I should be shot with my own brand new crossbow for saying the words birthday and research in the same sentence at my own party.
Re: [ action ]
[She gestures to the wall with this because there is clearly a nice hole in the brick.]
[ action ]
[It might feel like an interrogation, Buffy. But it's a valid question!]
Re: [ action ]
[ action ]
[She snickers at the idea as she turns the bolt this way and that, inspecting it.]
Or a never really dead cheat like on Gears of War. [Of course it occurs to her that Buffy might not get any of this. What happened to all of the geeky people she knows and why aren't they here when she's flying the nerd-o-rama pride flag?]
Re: [ action ]
[ action ]
[Insert a pause here and Dawn sets the bolt down specifically for the purpose of putting her hands on her hips in classic Dawn pose and rolling her eyes.]
How long have you been hanging out with me and Xander now? And Andrew! There was even geek bondage with Andrew to go get that one Slayer-ette! Do you not pay attention ever? [Another pause as her eyes grow wide.] Ohmigod I sound like the hip-geek version of Giles.
Re: [ action ]
[ action ]
[Her nose wrinkles and her lips twist into a sardonic smile.] Wait, what were we talking about again?
Re: [ action ]

Re: [ action ]
[ action ]
[And she just stands there, her arms crossed over her chest. Until...]
...kinda boring, huh? And by kinda I mean a lot. Chocolate cake?
Re: [ action ]
Chocolate cake. Candles? No wishing though. [Because wishing is bad, m'kay]
[ action ]
[They make their way to the kitchen where the cake sits on the island. She moves over to it and dips one index finger into the icing only to lick it off.] Mmmm. Unless -- are there demons who can hear wishes in your head that you don't say out loud?
