47th Slay [Accidental Video]

[whattingawhat]

[The device is sitting on a table behind Buffy. When it comes on, it shows Buffy standing in front of a mirror. She runs a brush through her hair then her fingers before she looks up into the mirror. She startles at seeing her reflection, but doesn't scream then takes a step back. Hovering there above (or perhaps beneath) her reflection is a ghost of how she looked before Willow pulled her out of the grave, half decomposed. She turns to see the device on, still looking shaken and pale.]

So...curse day, right? Otherwise there's going to be some mirror breaking in my house and I seriously don't need any more years of bad luck. Or maybe if you break a creepy mirror it goes the other way. Seven years of good luck.

Fingers crossed.

So what exactly did you see in the mirror?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Decomposed corpse me. Not pretty let me tell you. I prefer bedhead me even to that.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Yeah. bed head is an easier fix. You okay after seeing that?

[She hesitates a moment before she nods.] I'll be okay. I'm a bounce back girl. It's just...creepy.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Bounce back girl? Careful. Say that where I grew up and you might find a creep instead of just creepy.

[She wrinkles her nose a bit.] Didn't think about that but hey at least your creeps aren't likely to come with fangs. Which also means I'm required by moral something or the other just to break their nose and walk away. Never as satisfying as being able to dust your creep.

No they usually just come with a shotgun. You're probably a lot faster than them though from what I've seen.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah but I'm not a big gun person. They're better not in the hands of creepers.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Probably don't really need a gun when you can move as fast as you do.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

It comes in handy. Plus slayer strength so yeah...but they're good for people who know how to handle them.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they're helpful as much as they are harmful. You seem to be better with polearms anyway.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Guns are loud and they make your hands smell funny. A pole arm you can ditch in the alley and go straight to date night. [Priorities. Buffy has them.]

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Date night's important. I get it.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I like being a girl.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

That's... good. You do 'girl' well.

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

So what are you up to today. Besides class outside.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

Painting the fence out behind the Center. Exciting, huh?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Never underestimate fence painting. I hear Mr. Miagyi made it a whole karate fighting thing. Smart guy. He got his fence painted.

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna take that comparison and turn it into a compliment. How about that?

Re: [Voice]

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Hey now! It was in no way uncomplimentary. In fact my next question is mind if I stop by? And if it helps the ego, would you consider painting the fence shirtless?

[Voice]

[bloodcakedarmor.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at that of course. And is happy to offer Buffy a respite from this curse day.]

Yeah, come on by.
