41st Slay [Accidental Video || Action]

[At first the device just shows the inside of a pocket. After a moment there's a bump and it falls out onto a street to show Buffy struggling with a motorcycle. She's trying to learn how to ride it and while she's doing okay, she's still wobbly. Eliot taught her the basics, starting it, braking, turning but he wasn't here long enough to really teach her how to ride. The bike falls, landing on her leg. She struggles out from underneath it, picks it up and starts again.]

Cool bike!

Thanks. A friend of mine left it to me when he left the City. I haven't tried riding it until now.

You've haven't broken any bones yet, which is a good sign!

I don't break easy but yeah, it's a good thing.

Managed to get anywhere yet?

Down the street. I'm doing okay with it being my first time. I think anyway.

Need some help?

You know how to ride one of these?

I should hope so. I own and maintain my own and have for years.

Sure. I'm afraid I'm going to scratch it if I keep up this way.

Where are you at?

A couple of streets over from the Underground entrance, near the warehouse Dawn and I live in.

Give me ten minutes and I'll come find you. Quit messing with it for now so you don't tear it up.

[When he gets there, she'll be waiting, sitting on the bike with the kickstand down, her toes barely touching the pavement.]

You okay?

Yeah. I'm good. I'm just sort of hoping I didn't mess the bike up. Most of the time my leg was between it and the ground. [She says this like it's a good thing.]

You're going to destroy the motorcycle.

I'm working on not doing that. The guy who built the bike didn't get to stick around long enough to teach me how to ride it.

And so you decided to teach yourself.

Sort of seems like logical thing to do. There's always using the bike as a clothes stand but that seems like a waste of a bike.

Equally logically, you could have found someone to teach you.

Or you could have sold it.

I didn't want to sell it. Someone I care about put it together. Plus, someone is coming to help me.

[Help, Buffy doesn't ask for it easily. However, when it's offered she will take it. Most of the time. Some times.]

Don't destroy it.

Working on that.

[And Dawn is wrinkling her nose and wincing at the view of the fall. She's not laughing... yet.]

Shouldn't your Slayer 'I'm awesome at everything in a natural kind of way' thing kick in even with the bike?

I think my natural 'Buffy and transportation vehicles don't mix' thing is over riding it at the moment. Maybe after Ken gets here to show me how to ride it?

[She opens her book again, which she's only kind of reading since she's partly watching Buffy attempt to ride the motorcycle as well.]

It weighs a lot more than you. Maybe we should just make it a fixture in the living room.

I'm pretty sure Eliot would do the grave-rolly thing if we used it as a living room fixture. Not that he's in a grave but point, you get it.

[She shrugs, idly thumbing through half of the books pages over and over.]

Point made. But morbid much? Sheesh, does everything have to be all cemetery and grave and death with you? It's a motorcycle. You should wear leather all the time and get tattoos. Plus you need some chaps.

So because I have a motorcycle I should start dressing like Faith?

Well yeah, you've gotta play the pa- -- [Pause for omg-ness.] Faith has leather chaps? And how do you know this?

No! I mean I don't know if she does or not but she is all 'I love leather'.

[Dawn smirks and mutters under her breath.] She would have leather chaps. [Before speaking up with a wrinkle of her nose.] And ew, visual.

So much ew on that visual. Let's get other visuals with leather chaps please.

Young John Travolta from Grease! Young John Travolta!

John Cusack with a boom box in Say Anything [She's adding to the visual.]

Careful. Those things are heavy. You alright?

[Right, it's supposed to be heavy. Not that she has to pretend it's heavy to her here.] I'm good. I've got Ken on his way to give me a crash course without the crashing.

Okay. Just saw it land on your leg. Thought it might've hurt.

There was an ow factor but not much of. I think my pants might have a grease stain that's never coming out.

Small price to pay, right?

Yeah. It just couldn't sit in my living room anymore acting as a coat rack. It was becoming a very sad bike.

So where'd you get it? Looks pretty nice.

A--friend that used to live in the City built it. He left it to me when he went back home. [She never knows what to call Eliot because he was her boyfriend when he was here and 'ex' doesn't sound right because there was never a break up but it's hard to call someone boyfriend when they're not in residence.]

Looks like he did nice work on it. Engine sounds good.

Good? I mean, I don't know. It sounds engine like but he wasn't a job half way kind of guy so I'm gonna guess yeah, he did.
