DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[His voice lowers.] Not too bad, then. Keep an eye on them while I see if anyone followed me. [He hadn't seen anyone going in, but there's always the possibility he missed someone. He heads down to the other end of the barn, stopping only briefly to make sure a body lying nearby is dead.]

That's me, lookout girl. [ dawn tightens her grip on her sword, but honestly being with archie makes some of the tension leave her frame. not all of it because she's not stupid, but she's not used to fighting alone. ]

[simplestgift]

[Archie is only gone for a moment before he quietly runs back, looking a bit like he's walking on eggshells. He learned to quiet-walk like a pro back when he was a kid sneaking around on his very first ship.] No one's coming from the stern. Have they gone yet?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

Stern... right, ships. [ she shakes her head once to clear it-- that should have been an easy connection-- then peeks out again. ] They kind of look like they're stopping for a second? No-- wait, yes. Maybe they're waiting for orders, or something?

[simplestgift]

You take the one on the right. I'll handle the other two. Ready?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

If I get mine and the middle one too, you have to call me Dawn, Warrior Princess for a whole week. Also, not really. [ but she's tightening her grip on her sword and breathing in deeply. ] Is count of three too cheesy?

[simplestgift]

Not at all. One?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Two. [ breathing, still breathing. ]

[simplestgift]

Three.

[And he's out, taking his time to aim and fire his shot. Once the one on the left is down, he drops his pistol and draws his sword.]

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

[ dawn mouths the 'three' along with him, and exits the barn at the same moment; she's lacking in firepower, so her first target is still up by the time he starts on his second. ] Okay, the gun is now cheating.

[simplestgift]

[He gives her a weird look before blocking an attack from the second fighter and throwing a punch at his face.] Cheating?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

Cheating. [ sunnydale residents banter throughout fights; it's a thing. ] It's ruining my chances of being called Dawn-- [ break to actually seriously concentrate on not getting dead--] Warrior Princess.

[simplestgift]

[He grins in spite of the situation.] Then you'll just have to be--[Whoop! Just avoided decapitation, go me!]--faster than me, won't you?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

[ lightening situations is ALSO a sunnydale tradition. ] You had an unfair advantage! Boomsticks are now entered in the log as not counting, because they are blatant-- [ OH WOW THAT IS A GOOD MOMENT TO DUCK and then the stabbing because dawn is, against all odds, good at this. ] Cheating.

[simplestgift]

[He's noticing that she's good with some real admiration.] With respect, Acting Warrior Princess, your lieutenant was only using the tools he had at his disp--[Eep!]--disposal!

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

[ slayer's sister; you get good or you get kidnapped. or both, if you're dawn. ] Okay, point. But still, kind of on the unbalanced side, here.

[simplestgift]

Would you rather I didn't use it again?

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that! I may have loosely implied it, but that's only because I was being a sore loser. [ she flashes him a quick grin. ] No more bitching from the peanut gallery, honest.

[simplestgift]

[Archie half-grins and half-grimaces and seizes an opening to run his enemy through. The soldier stumbles backwards, and Kennedy takes the opportunity to make a swing at his neck, slicing it open. It's bloody and gruesome, but it works.] Should I let you take care of yours on your own, Warrior Princess?
