[ accidental video / action ]

[slaying]

[ apparently buffy's journal is wedged open somewhere in the living room of house seven; all day, it has been broadcasting sporadic glimpses into a rather uneventful tuesday in the life of luceti's slayer. unlike other spectacularly juicy or entertaining accidents that the village possibly thrives on spectating, this round of she-doesn't-know-you-

[ McCoy is hanging around the barracks this evening and hoping to make good use of the last few rays of sunlight before the inevitable trudge back to the house. he has been haunting the ice rink there for a good few days now, and finishing his shift at the battle dome clinic today, decided to throw caution to the wind and take (albeit shakily) to the ice there. ]

[slaying]

[ she comes walking by just as the sun is sinking. wondering who else is using the rink, she approaches. ]

[hippocraticly]

[ the medical kid placed at the edge of the rink should be a hint, but he is hesitant to actually venture out on the ice and keeps to the sideline, shuffling slowly over the ice. he's so engrossed in not falling over that he doesn't hear her approach. ]

[slaying]

[ she takes a seat on the same bench jack watched her from, earlier. but she is so thoroughly bundled up that she probably isn't recognizable at first. ]

[hippocraticly]

[ good, he won't have to lecture her when he finally cottons onto someone watching him. one wobble later, a soft expletive escapes his lips in a tell-tale breath and he risks a turn in the direction where Buffy is watching him. ]

What are you looking at? [ unrecognizable indeed! ] Take a damn picture, it'll last longer.

[slaying]

I don't own a camera! [ comes the reply -- muffled under scarfs and collars. ]

[hippocraticly]

[ squinting now. he might not have heard what was said, but the lack of an angry retort is a give away. ]

Summers?

[slaying]

[ a gloved hand offers a brief thumbs up. ]

[hippocraticly]

[ a grumble, before he tries to skate over to where she is sitting. it's jerky and screams inexperience, but he does manage to make it. ]

Patrolling in this weather?

[slaying]

[ a smile hidden under her clothing. ]

Whether sleet or snow or rain or freaky cold snaps. I'm like the postman of fighting evil.

[hippocraticly]

Well, at least you have the sense to dress up for it.

[ unlike some people I know is left unsaid. no point in referencing his careless best friend. ]

[slaying]

I don't want to catch frostbite.

[ buffy you can't catch frostbite. ]

[hippocraticly]

You don't catch frostbite, you develop it through the exposure to cold.

[ duh. ]

[slaying]

Same diff, right?

[hippocraticly]

[ a shrug. ] Same difference. Either way, people are going to come crying to us hard-working doctors.

[slaying]

Except, not me! [ you can't see it, but she is grinning triumphantly. ] Your form wasn't too bad, you know.
