50th Slay [Video]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is lying on the couch in her warehouse wrapped up in a blanket. She looks exhausted mostly because she is. She also looks pouty because...well she gets that way when she's had a bad couple of days and she's tired.]

Freaky statues seem to have gone back to whatever bizarro world they came from. Everyone present and accounted for?

I need some serious 80's movie time clockage.

Also, Charlie, are you okay?

[Dawn fiddles with the hem of her skirt for a moment, not really saying anything. This apocalypse had indeed costed a lot. But one of the best things about Buffy was that she always bounced back like a boomerang. This long period of depression her sister had been going through was worrying Dawn. Sure, her sister was more than entitled. In fact, Buffy was probably the most entitled person ever. Maybe this time had been one time too many, and the cost too high.

The problem was, that Dawn didn't know how to fix it. She wanted to fix this for Buffy the way her sister had always fixed things for her, but she didn't know how. She couldn't bring Giles back. She couldn't give Willow her magic back.

At that last thought, the beginnings of an idea began to circulate in Dawn's mind. Magic wasn't gone here in the City. In fact, it ran rampant. Maybe... just maybe.]

Yeah but I'm the vice president so my feelings are the most important. And I'm only vice president today cause you're all mopey and I'm letting you be the president because I'm a giving leader and my generosity knows no bounds.

[Buffy does the bright smiles and chatty cathy thing with other people which Dawn may not be particularly thrilled with. She's good with letting down her guard around Dawn.]

Does that mean I get to wear the crown in light of all your generosity?

Yes it does. And I might have added some extra bling to it so it's extra awesome. See how nice I am?

[She puts on an air of mock superiority with a chin lift and a self-assured grin.]

I could totally be ruler of this place.

Are you going to get sulky if I make some comparisons and comments about you and the deities?

[She says it teasingly of course.]

I am totally better than those guys. First of all, not evil. And second, I don't even care what's inside people's heads so I wouldn't be all ooo mind games! Stupid mind games.

Which is sort of driving home the not evilness.

Yeah and if I ever do go evil, you have to stop me cause I don't wanna be one of the big bads. I've seen what happens to them and it's not pretty -- or painless -- or pro-life. I like being a part of the land of the living.

There will be all the stopping. Shackles, chains and tranq guns. I like having you on the side of good.
