[ota | multiple threads ] ☥ i know we'll make it anywhere away from here

Max wasn't one of the people quick to complain about a ton of incoming monsters. Having something around whose face she could rearrange with her fist had been a nice outlet, but none of it had managed to change the inescapable fact that this place was a prison, and that this time there was no easy way to break out.

She'd been out of the loop back ( Read more... )

Buffy wasn't normally the kind of girl to look up when she was patrolling. She probably should, given the givens, but ... Buffy is about five-four. Everything is up. Eventually your neck starts to hurt.

She was patrolling, because there was a ton of incoming monsters, and she was doing her job. Her job had ruined a few shirts, gotten blood all over her shoes and had her going through weapons like they're candy, but it was what she had to do. Better her ruining a few pieces of clothing than someone getting killed. Tonight's a slow night, though, and there weren't a lot of monsters around.

Of course the night she's actually doing her job, the monsters don't want her to do it.

"So typical."

A girl running around with a stake in hand was an interesting sight. She'd seen plenty of people pulling weapons out what with all the monsters hanging around town, but they usually went with a little more fire power. It was enough to get her to speak up when she caught the girl talking to herself.

"What is?" she said, raising her voice loud enough to drift down to her.

Buffy startled at the sound of the voice, before tipping her head back and looking up at Max with a smile. "Oh, hi!"

She then turned around to face her a little more. "The time when I'm actually out here looking for monster to fight, there isn't any around?"

"Yeah, they're pretty ungrateful like that," Max said, smirking. She couldn't help but like the fact that this girl was actually out looking to pick a fight too. She related.

"You could try lookin' outside the fence."

"Been there, done that ... didn't seem like a wise idea to do again all by my lonesome."

Buffy was practicing the buddy system in the wood. That way, if she happened to get eaten, there was someone there to tell everyone else. She looked up with a shrug. "Besides ... this is more me making sure that the big bad beasties don't get in, rather than actively seeking them out."

Max nodded, realizing that probably sounded more sane than wanting to head out there just to blow off some steam. Whatever, she'd never claimed to be the most level headed person here.

"Doesn't seem like a quiet night would be something to complain about, then."

"It is when it's my night off and they choose to attack then," she sighed with a bit of a shrug. "The age old problem. When you want something to happen, it never seems to. Then when you decided to stop thinking about it, surprise! It arrives to rip out your throat and tear you to pieces."

ageneticocktail February 3 2011, 03:37:15 UTC

"A watched pot never tries to kill you, all that jazz?" Max smirked. "I hear you. Seems like any time I want some real action around this place, it slows to a standstill."

isaywe_party February 3 2011, 04:45:14 UTC

"Clearly it doesn't like us. We should file a complaint." She flashed her a smile, before waving. "I'm Buffy."

ageneticocktail February 3 2011, 04:55:07 UTC

Max hopped down off the ledge, figuring this conversation might be a little easier that way. She extended a hand to the other girl.

"Max. And I'm pretty sure the complaint department's closed for business."

isaywe_party February 3 2011, 22:21:55 UTC

Buffy shook her hand before nodding. "Agreed. I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't, Cordelia would have given the guy running it an earful. Or we'd be living in much nicer shacks."

"Well, the castle's not so bad, though I guess some people decided to stick it out down here," Max pointed out. Not that she could blame them for not wanting to trust the powers that be around here enough to want to live with them but... they were all the faerie's bitches right now, no matter where they were.

isaywe_party February 5 2011, 19:23:44 UTC

Buffy would agree with that "faerie's bitches" point, if she had actually heard it. "I didn't stay cuz I'm needed here," she shrugged. "I knew there were a lot of people coming back, so I figured they were going to need at least a little muscle."

"Big on the hero complex, huh?" Max said, sounding more amused than judgmental. It wasn't like she hadn't had her share of playing hero too, ever since she got tangled up with Logan, but she still didn't see herself that way.

isaywe_party February 5 2011, 20:48:33 UTC

"Sorta my job," she said with a shrug. "You know -- destiny and all that." She said as though it's the most nonchalant thing in the world, but she knows it's really not. She just doesn't know how else to put it.

ageneticocktail February 6 2011, 03:08:38 UTC

"Destiny, huh?" Max said, and her tone was a little dry. "Never sure how much I believed in that kinda thing."
