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.]

You'll have to give him a minute, Buffy, as he's going to just sort of stare and blink as his scientific-inclined mind tries to make sense of what she just said. Power from dead slayers, absorbing them like a vampire. It...really isn't going to make as much sense to him as it does to people who are used to the supernatural, no matter how much he's warmed up to the world Buffy lives in. Acknowledging the existence of vampires and magic doesn't mean he understands how that all works.

He is, however, sympathetic. Very sympathetic to the implications of what's happening to her. Kirk can only imagine what knowing that your power is that which isn't yours and comes at the sacrifice of others is like.

"Oh, Buffy," he cups her cheek in one hand. "That's... Are you certain?"
