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

[Okay, so this had to be a dream or something because there is no way she would willingly ever step foot in Sunnydale again. Especially not to be saved by Buffy. She's not bait girl anymore, after all.

Still, she's trying to be grateful.]

Guess some things never change, huh?

[slayerpreferred]

Cordelia... [half of her mouth quirks up, but it's humorless.] It's been a while.

[knowmypurpose]

[She nods] Haven't seen you since last time you came to bug Angel, and that was at least a year ago.

[slayerpreferred]

I resent that 'bug'..... even if it might be a little true.

I more meant, um. I haven't seen you here before.

[hasasoul]

[OH LOOK IT'S ANGEL RANDOMLY COMING OUT OF THE SHADOWS THIS IS SOME STRAIGHT UP S1/S2 SHIT.]

I could have handled that.

[slayerpreferred]

[It startles her, that voice... and her breath catches as she turns to see him.]

Angel.

[hasasoul]

Buffy.

[AW HERE IT GOES.]

[slayerpreferred]

....Vampires dream?

[goldenpacifist]

[Cain just smiles cheerfully at her. He took this whole thing in stride. The city had made him more or less immune to strange incidents like this.]

My hero! [He's being sincere even if it might come off a little silly with that constant bright smile on his face.]

Is there any way I can repay you?

[slayerpreferred]

[She shakes her head, no stranger to cheerfulness herself, even if it is mostly fake.]

All in a day's slaying.

[goldenpacifist]

Can at least escort you to the hospital? Your head... [You're bleeding. Let him help?]

[slayerpreferred]

[Buffy frowns, putting a hand to her head. When it comes back red, she doesn't seem concerned.]

There's nothing they can do for me.

[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.

[changedthegame]

I'm not even sure I know what I was in danger from... [Sam's staring wide-eyed, still trying to wrap his head around what happened. The way those things died, though, reminded him of the way Programs derezzed. For the moment, that's all that Sam's mind seems to be associating this with]

[slayerpreferred]

You okay? [Buffy asks, closing the distance between them as she carefully scopes the area for any more demony types.]

Oh. [blinks.] It's you. I almost didn't recognize you without the shiny light suit.

[changedthegame]

[He looks down, giving himself a quick once over and then nods. At first, he actually thought that he might've been able to handle them. Then shit got weird. He was STILL going to help except it started to look like he'd just get in the way] I'm good.

[He smiles at her and nods] Shiny light suit is more of a 'Grid Only' style.

[slayerpreferred]

Yeah, well, I usually only break out the torn clothes look for truly special occasions myself. [She knocks into him, getting a vampire that tried to grab him from behind.]

You were saying? [perky smile.]
