53rd Slay [Accidental Video | Action]

[whattingawhat]

[Buffy is in at home beating on the punching bag. Her skin is dripping sweat so it's obvious she's been at this a while. She's got ear buds in her ears and the tinny sound of pop music can be heard even from where the device is sitting on a stool a few feet away. She turns on the punching bag with a flying roundhouse kick that snaps the chain it's hanging from and sends it sailing across the room to knock the device off the table. She stands with her hands at the small of her back for a moment before walking over to retrieve the device, noticing it's recording when she does.]

So that's how I'm dealing with the ticking. How's everyone else doing?

Anything you don't mind me setting fire to? [Seems like a normal question, really.]

audio:

[whattingawhat]

Inside, no but there's some things in the Underground you can hit.

audio:

[charring]

Sounds like a good place to be. Might do that for a while.

audio:

[whattingawhat]

Just be careful you're lighting monsters on fire and not people?

audio:

[charring]

I'll wait for them to attack first. That's usually a good plan, right?

audio:

[whattingawhat]

Usually? As long as the attack first isn't the only one....

[charring]

You wanna come with me? We can keep an eye on each other and make the Underground just a bit safer.

audio:

[whattingawhat]

Sure. I could come with. I'll meet you at the Underground entrance in twenty. I want to shower and change first.

[charring]

Good deal. I need to feed Hypnos and the new one. Who needs a name. I'm thinking Petrichor. Anyway. Yes. Twenty.

[In twenty minutes, Buffy is at the entrance to the underground in a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. There's no use wearing nice clothes to slay in when you know you're going to get dirty. She's left the scythe at home and brought a stake instead. The scythe usually just makes things too easy. She figures with Charlie's power, things should be fairly easy anyway.]

[charring]

[Charlie shows up a bit later. Black tank-top, jeans and her typical black Converse shoes. She grins at Buffy, waving.]

If this doesn't help, I'm getting drunk.

[whattingawhat]

Well that couldn't hurt. The getting drunk. This is more about frustration letting off, you know?

[charring]

[She nods, understanding that full well.] I'll follow you. I've only been down here a couple times.

[whattingawhat]

First level, we should be okay. Smaller things. Good for aggression getting out. [She veers off the safe path and into an alley.]

[charring]

[Charlie follows, quite happy to just be out. It was already distracting her a bit.] What sort of small things? What should I look out for?

[whattingawhat]

Small is relative, I guess? Us sized things. Human sized things. Vampires mostly. Very grr and not of the friendly variety. Also goo monsters and scaley things.
