[The video is on Bonnie's face for awhile. She is completely blank-faced. Bonnie is obviously standing outside her shop, facing the front of it. Occasionally some people can be seen walking behind her, and if they turn to look past her in the direction of the shop front, they look startled or indignant or nervous and scurry on by. It goes on

Holy crap. Are you all right?

[VIDEO; LOCKED]

[blytheandbonnie]

Fine.

[Not really, she sounds like she might cry.]

But you should be careful. There's a lot of violence against nonhumans going down right now.

[VIDEO; LOCKED]

[diana_abel]

Yeah, I know. I was planning to stage a protest on the radio this week.

Listen, do you want to stay with me and the girls for awhile?

[VIDEO; LOCKED]

[blytheandbonnie]

No, absolutely not.

[sigh]

I mean, thank you. That's an incredibly sweet offer, but I really shouldn't be hanging out with any vampires right now. I don't want people to make any connections.

[Poor video-less Damon is confused.]

What's pig's blood? Closet? What's going on, Bonnie?

[VOICE]

[blytheandbonnie]

You should probably avoid association with me for awhile, Damon.

[VOICE]

[getsthelastword]

What happened?

[VOICE]

[blytheandbonnie]

Someone vandalized my storefront.

There's some blood graffiti.

[capj_harkness]

I'm coming down there right now to help you clean it up.

[blytheandbonnie]

No. That's sweet, but I really need to clean this up myself.

[capj_harkness]

Call me if you need anything. And watch your back, Sweetie.

[blytheandbonnie]

Thanks, Jack. I appreciate it.

[Wes looks shocked and more than a little livid at the vandalism. But his first concern is for Bonnie.]

They didn't hurt you did they? Are you all right?

[VOICE]

[blytheandbonnie]

No, I'm not hurt. It happened last night.

[Which is a stupid time, really, to vandalize a vampire's place. Luckily she was sleeping.]

I'm fine, Wes.

[VOICE]

[demonologist]

[It's little comfort, but he's relieved she was unharmed at least. Then his expression becomes shrewder while he regards her.]

Right, you're fine. Your place of business, which also happens to be your home was just vandalized by hate-mongers and you've been forcibly outted as a vampire to the public.

Of course you're fine. What's there to be upset about?

[A beat. He's seen what she said to Jack about cleaning up.]

Do you want to stay somewhere else tonight? Just to...get away from it?

[VOICE]

[blytheandbonnie]

[She's just going to ignore that first part, because she doesn't really have a response to it.]

I shouldn't bring my mess to your place, Wes.

I'm with Damon on this one, Bonnie. You can come stay with me and Cordelia if you want, but -- I wouldn't stay there.

[she knows it seems like running scared but -- this worries her]

I'll come down to help you clean up. Maybe I'll be able to get an idea of who did it.

[blytheandbonnie]

Should I have called the police? I didn't really....

[She shrugs]

I didn't know what the procedure was.

[isaywe_party]

Police are called. I'm on my way.

We'll figure this out.

[blytheandbonnie]

Thank you, Buffy.
