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.]

"Oooh, but science is the basis for everything, didn't you know?" he says, tilting his head to the side to watch her.

Clearly, she's gone mad. The Doctor's been going mad himself for a while, and he's not too surprised to see other people falling the same way.

"Such as this. From that height, if you end up hurting yourself and falling, you'll hit the ground at a velocity of 65.76 RPS, that's realms per second, and you'll probably go splat at a diametric increase of about 65.4 RPS. Well, RPSes. Well, RPSii. Then, we can find somebody else to scoop you up and put you in the local graveyard, eh?"

"Well, sounds like you could use an education, then. Always good to learn about things you don't understand. Muscles, bones, wall structures, polyhydronics, geography..."

He really does have a point here.

"Incidentally, where are the graveyards?"

The Doctor lets out an amused snort.

"You do know how much pressure it takes to break a shoulder bone, don't you?"
