Buffy Summers has posed:
It's a messy evening, too warm for proper snow but cold enough for the rain drops to freeze like pellets, blowing around intensely enough to make the roads hard to see and rather precarious. There aren't a lot of people out in the park tonight to enjoy the weather, except maybe the occasional vampire, lurking in the shadows, ready to pick off unsuspecting prey..No doubt the Slayer is around somewhere too..

Thomas Raith has posed:
And where the Slayer goes, a certain handsome, charming, fashionably dressed, not to mention humble White Courtier is almost garanteed to be not far away. In this case he is simply cruseing in his snow white mustang, the radio blaring as he drives about sixty over the limit through the rain... Careless? Never.

Buffy Summers has posed:
It's really too stormy to be driving so fast, probably to be running as fast as the Slayer is too, especially when she's running through busy intersections, totally unmindful of passing cars and traffic, solely focused on the two punk vampires fleeing before her. They're pretty fast and she's pretty tired after a long day of classes and exams, which is probably why she died my see the speeding car til it's practically on top of her, slamming hard into her and sending her rolling off the windshield and falling to the ground with a loud thump.

Thomas Raith has posed:
"Empty Night!" the car comes to a screaching halt, sliding on the slightly icy pavement. He is out of the car a moment later and rushing to the slayer's side. "Buffy?! Are you okay?" Not that he hasn't seen her take that much and worse, but things can happen.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers blinks, climbing slowly, shakily to her feet. Normally such a hit might knock someone out, maybe break some bones. Buffy however barely got bruised by it. "Heh, no worries, I'm tougher than I look.."

She glances up at him with a loving smile..But suddenly that smile fades, and she seems somehow m..Confused, rubbing her eyes, "Heh, no worries, I'm tougher than.." she frowns. Odd, didn't she just say that? And this man, he seems familiar, but..Not.."..Who are you. And how do you know..My name?" she frowns at that.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith raises his eyebrows and then narrows then slightly, "Lover, that's not funny." He says in a tone that is amused but also playfully admonishing. "We can probibly still catch up with Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dummer if we hurry..." He shakes his head slightly glancing at the car. "I think we knocked out my headlight.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a surprised brow. "Lover..? Who the heck do you.." she hears a distant scream and frowns, "Forget it, we don't have time for this, you'd better drive quickly if we're gonna catch up with my..Err..Vicious dog.." she steps towards the car but hugs her arms, keeping a cautious distance between herself and the handsome stranger(?)

Thomas Raith has posed:
Now both the man's perfuctlly sculpted eyebrows go up. "Visious...dog.. Buffy are you sure you are okay? I'm going to call Giles..." And he does in fact take out his phone and dial... "And of course he doesn't answer..." He shakes his head "How many fingers am I holding up?"

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers frowns more deeply, pulling open the door, "Uh hellooo, vicious dog attacking human, crazy freaking snowstorm in the middle of the night, and good grief is my hair gonna be a mess tomorrow if we don't get out of this messy rain! So how's about you explain your weird familiarity with me and my friends later?! So get a move on already!" yeah, she's getting annoyed now..

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith sighs a bit getting back in the car and, of all things, fastening his seat belt. He heads off in the direction he saw the two vamps headed and guns the engine, assuming that his lover's "Buffy-tingle" will let them pin down the vampire's exact locations. "Okay, what's with the vicious dog schtick? Are you sure you are okay? Those two blood suckers can wait. I really should take you to the Magic Box.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers arches a brow as she gets in, strapping her own seatbelt on, before peering out the window. Indeed her slayer sense does alert her to their location and she points out the window.

"Take the next right, should lead you to the park.." she frowns, "Okay seriously, you are totally wigging me out. Are you saying you know what blood suckers are? I mean you're being serious right now?"
    His continued concerns causes her to sigh in annoyance. "Ok look, I jus told you I'm tougher than I look, really that was more of a love tap so forget it. Just get me to the park so I can deal with the...Err..Issue at hand." its a bit awkward now, should she play along or continue with the dog story? And why does this guy seem so familiar?

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith glances over at her and says "I know you are tougher then you look Buffy. Hell I was there when you jumped on the back of that massive slug demon to dump a twenty five pound sack of salt on it." He says shaking his head. "Not to mention my furnature can testify to how tough you are. Seriously babe, you are really starting to scare me a little." He says it even as he follows her directions after the fleeing vamps.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers frowns and just shakes her head. "Well whoeve--Thomas.." she blinks, shaking her head. How does she know that name? She stares at him again as if she remembers something, remembers him, remembers them..Then shakes her head and rubs her eyes. "Look, over there! They're attacking that girl..come on!"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods slightly as he sees the pair come into view. "I see them. Driving by, be ready to dive... Count of three.. Go on two... One!" and about that moment he is pulling into perfect ranage for her to jump out and tackle the vamps.

Buffy Summers has posed:
Buffy Summers nods focusing on the vamps. And on perfect cue, she pushed open the door and leaps out gracefully, doing a somersault and delivering a flying kick to one of them, before turning to face the other, spinning and slashing her stake at his heart. The first explodes into dust and as the second creeps up on her, she ducks and foot sweeps him to the ground, before kneeling and staking him too. The surprised would be victim states in shock before she tells her to go home. With a sigh, Buffy wipes dust and snowy rain off her jacket before climbing back into the car. She stares at Thomas as if a cloud has been lifted and just leans over and grabs him, kissing him deeply. She takes her time before letting go and sighs. "You're right, somethings up. We need to find Giles, or.." she frowns, recalling he's back in England, "Orr Constantine..That bastard, if this is magic, he'd know what to do, if he'd get his butt in gear.."
