first stake.

[slayerpreferred]

[Buffy is wandering through the Sunnydale graveyard, still wearing the clothes she died in. Her pants are torn at the knees and thigh, shirt ripped up the side. She has a minor head wound, but none of that seems to matter as she sluices through the fog, stake at the ready.]

Oh, come on. Don't make me say it. [She rolls her eyes.] Olly olly oxen

[waterfell]

Are you saying I couldn't have done it?

[Answer carefully; she looks vaguely annoyed. Or perhaps simply determined to prove otherwise.]

(ooc: we'll see about toning it down from here XD sorry about this girl)

[slayerpreferred]

[ooc: nah it's cool bb, Buffy's used to the high strung types XD]

I'll... let you get the next one? [Oops, just as she says that one grabs Ami from behind]

[waterfell]

[She's never been the physically strong one. She surpasses normal humans thanks to the dark energy in her, but vampiric strength?

Caution would tell her to suddenly play weak and let Buffy get it, but she'd just seen a sample of Buffy's own strength and at this point? Pride demands showing she can take care of herself.]

Dark Power Make-up!

[The simple energy of her transformation should be enough to throw the vampire away to make space for her - and then of course she'd be free to use her powers and that ice sword.]

[slayerpreferred]

[Buffy blinks, stopping short a yard or two short of the vamp when she sees that. She knows this is supposed to be a dream, but she didn't expect that.]

Um. You just holler if you need... me.

[waterfell]

[Mercury grins unpleasantly. Hope vampires don't like ice, because it's coming up to encase this one, without even any obvious gesture or word or effort on her part.]

[slayerpreferred]

Right, I'll just. Stand over here.

[waterfell]

If you're bored, why not take a few more?

[slayerpreferred]

I'm not bored. You just froze a vampire in ice. I don't think you need my help....

[waterfell]

I wonder what would happen if he shattered, don't you?

[She could play viciously at times - though her world's big bad had broken through her ice encasement. Then again, that was an unbelievably powerful entity who managed to almost destroy the planet itself.]

[slayerpreferred]

I usually just go for the tried and true, stake through the heart..thing. But that's just me.

[waterfell]

I can admire the classical.

[slayerpreferred]

The classics, exactly! Don't kick it til you've tried it. [She turns suddenly, catching a vampire in the jaw with her boot.] Well. A little kicking is okay. Catch! [She throws a stake Ami's way as the vamp staggers towards her.]

omg I officially love this XD

[waterfell]

[Mercury catches the stake easily, but she... has never staked a vampire before.

Not that it's hard to figure out the basic premise. The problem is using a weapon that's totally different from her sword.]

lmfao I'm glad <3

[slayerpreferred]

[Buffy calls encouraging things to her behind the vampire's back, elbowing one in the face that tried to sneak up behind her.]

Aim for the heart! Make him go poof! [She was definitely calling back to her cheerleading days for this one.]

cheerleader buffy made me giggle

[waterfell]

[Something about Buffy's way of fighting is attractive. It gets the job done without worrying about her form or technique.

Not that Mercury has any intention of giving up her sword training. But it feels a bit... freer to just go all-out with fist and elbow, something she's done rarely since gaining her weapon.

She likes it. The vampire is efficiently staked.]

;D

[slayerpreferred]

[And Buffy's going to stake hers before clapping for Ami.]

Hey, not bad!
