Cthulhu Campfire, Thursday Evening

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Ow." Dawn was stretched out on the grass, holding ice bags to places where Vi had made contact. She should have known better than to spar with a slayer, but it seemed almost normal, and she'd gotten carried away, and "Ow."

Maybe if she was lucky, the ibuprofen fairy would drop by.

Molly wandered over and sat down next to Dawn. "Sore from class today?" she asked with sympathy.

"Ow," she whined eloquently, "You'll be relieved to know that I'm still not a slayer. How're you?"

Dean wandered through the clearing towards his cabin, but stopped when he spotted Dawn. "What happened to you?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged. "No damage from class, if that's what you mean."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"You okay otherwise?" She asked, cocking her head.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Fighting class," she groaned, "I suck. Also, I sparred with Vi. How're you?"

Willow gave a wave as she passed by. "Hey Dawnie."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," Dean said, still obviously concerned about Dawn. "You want some painkillers? Sammy should have some in his stuff, or if he doesn't I can get some out of my stash..."

"Did you hear about what happened Tuesday night?" Molly asked.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Her eyes popped open. "I'd propose, or offer sexual favors, but I don't think that would--um, yeah, that would be great, thank you."

"Willow, hi!" Dawn waved, smiling and not wanting to seem like much of a crybaby in front of any Willow. "What's up?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Not much," Willow said. "I had a workshop today, that was of the happy. You?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Something happened Tuesday night?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I sparred with a slayer. Um, don't do that. Still a bad idea."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow tsked at her. "Take hints from Giles! Wear padding and then have someone else take all the blows."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"But I was trying to learn, too," she pouted. "It apparently involves a lot of pain."

"This is why I tend to stick with magic," Willow said. "That way I can do my damage outside of a range where bruises could be a factor. Though I do swing a pretty good sword if I do say so myself."

"There's some guy out in the woods attacking people," Molly explained. "Chad ended up in the clinic on Monday night. I ran into the guy on Tuesday and I thought I killed him, but the new Sheriff said there wasn't a body where I left him. I thought that was what you were asking about."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Holy crap, no!" Dawn stared at Molly in horror, "I had no idea about any of that! Why wasn't there an announcement or something on the radio? I mean, they can get everything about someone's sex lives completely wrong and back-asswards and can't broadcast about a freaking guy who's attacking people???"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

If Dawn winced when Willow said that, well, hopefully the other girl would take it as a result of the sparring and not the idea of Willow doing damage with magic. "You're pretty good with a stake, too. And you rock on the computer."

Dean grinned. "I'll graciously pass on any such offers to my brother in proxy. Be right back."

He darted inside Cthulhu cabin, going to his brother's alcove and digging through his bag until he found where he kept his first aid kit. He grabbed the bottle of advil he'd been certain Sammy would have, and headed back out. "Here," he said, holding it out along with the bottle of water he had with him and had all along.

"This is true," Willow said. She noticed the wince, but did not press. "I even managed to teach Peter how to use one. I'm rather proud."

Sam frowned when he spotted Dawn all stretched out, and went to sit down besides her, looking her over. "Are you okay? What happened? Tell me you didn't try to go into the woods."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shook her head. "I don't know. I hardly ever listen to the radio anymore. The Sheriff knows though. He seems way more responsible than Tex."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"That's good, at least," Dawn decided, "and are you okay? I mean, attacking guy didn't hurt you, did he?"
