034: [ location : the sky ] the blues walked in and met me

It's not the first time Buffy's woken up with a shiny new set of memories, but the other times haven't been like this. The other times she hadn't found out that she's a monster. A vampire. A thing.

Losing her powers for two months, the ordeal with Angelus, losing Dean, going through that cruel glitch with Ethan, losing Giles for the second time... the combined weight of the past year spent in Taxon is finally beginning to take its toll on her, and in epic fashion.

Which is why she's decided to take matters into her own hands. Literally. Anyone looking up at the sky will see an odd, vaguely discernible blur, flying into an invisible barrier, impacting hard and then bouncing off again, only to repeat the action. Over and over. She's trying to break through the wall, and it isn't working.

[ooc: canon bump to issue #33, but before the big Twilight reveal. Gonna be slowtagging on this one due to hiatus, but there we go. ALSO she has her tablet with her, so is contactable.]

It doesn't matter. Nothing matters here.

[She really doesn't care if she breaks something. It'll just heal anyway, with these freak powers of hers. She punches the barrier once more, for good measure.]

[There is brief silence as Hercules thinks hard for his reply.]

I disagree.

You matter to me, and you and I are here.

[She laughs, but there's no mirth in it.]

Sure, until you disappear just like everyone else.

I see you have quite made up your mind.

May I ask who you've lost?

Just lately or do you mean the running total? [this is accompanied by another loud thumping sound.]

We could compare scorecards.

[There is no mirth in that statement.]

Not in a playing mood today. [There's a sigh here - Hercules has slowed down her anger, and now she's just sad.]

I did not think it was a game.

Neither did I. [At this point, her fists are hurting and she's beyond tired and Hercules is being... really sweet. Sweet enough to calm her down, even.]

You wanna go for a walk or something?

I would. However I would have to ask that you descend to my level. I am no sky walker.

[A pause.] ...okay. Where are you?

I am not far from your fine castle. I shall wave my arms like a fool to catch your attention.

Buffy makes a fairly slow descent down to the ground, not wanting to land with a bump and screw up her ankles along with everything else. Let's just say Herc's arm-waving technique is very efficient, and she spots him, landing nearby.

"Hey, big guy," she greets, with a weak smile. (That might be her name for him, from now on.)

He's been called that before. He offers her a gentle smile of his own, which is a somewhat delicate maneuver for a man of his size and stature.

"Greetings, fair Buffy," he greets. "It is good to see you in person."
