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

[likeajoan.livejournal.com]

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.]

[Buffy stops pounding the wall, long enough to give the tablet her full attention.]

Why do you care? You barely know me.

[There's not actually a whole lot of reproach in the question, there's more genuine surprise.]

"We're all trapped here together and not caring's kinda pointless?" Note: this only applies if you're not a vampire. Goddamn vampires. "You seem like a nice young la - uh, Hunter, and I hate to see you hurt yourself like this?"

Harvestman shrugs. "Pick one."

You can say lady. I'm not that feminist. [ she sighs, gives the barrier a final kick for good measure, and then begins a slow descent away from it. ]

I don't think I ever got your name.

"Ain't as respectful outside the South; can't be too careful." That and he's usually using it for less than respectful reasons, Southern or not.

"Um. Harvestman." He looks distinctly uncomfortable now, because if she hasn't heard that he's one of the local bloodsuckers, she will soon.

Yeah, well just call me the enlightened Post-Spice Girls generation. [ there, she's being dry, that's an improvement. ]

...Harvestman. [ what she leaves unsaid is 'that's a name???' ]

You got a vampire running 'round calling himself Angel, and you think Harvestman is weird?
