48th Slay [action] They'll have to go through you first

[Buffy is in full patrol mode. She's even got the commando thing going for her with black cargo pants and a black turtle neck. The bright red pea coat isn't exactly military issue though nor are the fashionable high heeled black booties she's wearing. She's got her hair pulled back into a ponytail and she's wearing a sling style back pack filled with a variety of weapons. Stakes, both silver and wood are shoved into the waistband of her pants. There's water guns filled with holy water in the pockets. She's got dead man's blood, tranq guns and lead stakes. She's spent the week at the library doing research on various types of monsters from various worlds so she knows what she's up against.

Not that that's going to make it easy. It's never, ever easy.]

[ooc: If you've got a monster that needs to be killed in order to be saved, comment here. Give me some idea of what you want either in the comment, PM, email: writer@allengames.com or AIM: rageiscute I'll be happy to accommodate!]

You would be what?

[So much confusion and then interest.] Oh. I didn't--troll-vampire?

Trompire...no...Vamoll...I don't think so.

[She's going to sneak a bit closer while she's pondering the proper name for him and then with slayer speed, swing the scythe in an arc that will succeed in beheading him if he doesn't stop it, dodge or otherwise notice.]

[ooc: Canonically it's debatable how fast she is. Much, much faster than a human beyond that, it's a guess.

(( ooc: fff. it's fine. don't really know how trolls compare to humans, sob. ))

Are you fucking serious. You're trying to give my race a goddamn name -

[ but Karkat hadn't been hatched yesterday. that scythe meets a sickle blade, Karkat's paranoia focusing on it early on. an entire culture specifically cultivated to raise him and eleven others to beat Sgrub generally produced its desired affect: he's ready for a fight if it comes his way.

that and there's this nasty thing about blood color. Karkat hates his and exposing it at any point is not an option. ]


The fuck is that even for!? Or is it that you make a habit of culling kids due to being alien?

[She parries the sickle blade away and takes a step back, scythe held up defensively.]

No...I'm taking away the vampire part of things. It's a City...thing. If I kill you, you'll wake up a few minutes later just you. No fangs. Or maybe fangs but no blood sucking vampirsm.

[ he pauses when she steps back, sickle still heavy in his hand. so killing him fixes him? Karkat considers the possibility... he's aware that death here doesn't carry quite the weigh that it does in the Medium, under certain circumstances. honestly, he doesn't want to be City dead.

but if that's the only way, currently, and it will stop him from potentially turning on his moirail?

Karkat puts his sickle back in his strife deck, just standing there. ]


You know you could have fucking said that to start with and spared some of your goddamn energy. Jegus fuck...

[That's...surprising and earns a confused look from Buffy.]

Because...most people don't believe me slash in their cursed whatever-ness want to stay monster-y slash are scared of the whole kill, kill, dead thing.

[She pulls the scythe back, readying for the swing, jaw setting when she does. This part is never easy.] At least it'll be quick. [And she swings.]

[ kind of rolls his eyes. there's nothing to actually lose, belief that it's a cure or not. perhaps he should be thankful that being a rainbowdrinker doesn't necessarily do anything to change the personality of a troll - something to consider if he ever runs into one Kanaya.

and death? well that's something that he's just come to terms with. chances of dying in the Medium are kind of at 90%, and mostly by the hand of either Jack or Gamzee. again... can't be afraid of the inevitable, can you? just wait until that canon update.

but he doesn't want to see it coming, nope. doesn't want to anticipate. so when she pulls back, he shuts his eyes and his hands clench at his side.

won't even feel a thing when the connection is made. should be used to dead bodies slumping forward, right Buff? ]

[Buffy will stick around because no one should wake up dead alone so when he does wake up, she'll be leaning against a wall nearby decidedly not dealing with the fact that she's killing more and more people she knows, or will know, today.

Yeah, totally used to dead bodies slumping forward. That doesn't mean that it doesn't bother her.]

[ and sure enough, Karkat's eyes open and he's stumbling around to sit upright. better believe he's feeling his neck. then fangs. back to normal size.

Karkat then looks at his hands. no glowing. well - ]


It actually fucking worked.

[Buffy shrugs a little. It makes her feel a bit better when they come back.] You can send the therapy bill to the deities.

I'll pass. I already made one fucking deal and I don't intend on getting involved with them again.

[ pushing himself up to his feet. ]

Thanks, I guess.

Yeah, deals with the deities, not good. Anyway, you're welcome.

[pause]

I'm Buffy, by the way. I didn't really get to the introductions before I killed you.

[ introductions. well polite behavior is something he will always encourage - even if he isn't always the most courteous of trolls. ]

Karkat.

I guess...nice to meet you. Glad the whole Mary Antoinette thing worked. [She means decapitation. She's trying to be sensitive. Kind of.]

[ waves it off. ]

Spare me. In what goddamn universe would this situation fall under the "nice to meet you" cliche? It doesn't, so pleasantries are far from necessary.

[ rubs at his neck. ]

Fuck, you have no idea how glad I am, though.

[Buffy gives him a bit of a smile.]

Me too. anyway...I'll talk to you later.
