#22 - [Video Post]

[Failed Filter to Young Neil - open to all]

[The video starts shakily. There is a blur of trees, sky, and Stephen's usual flannel shirt. It finally steadies on a close-up of his face.]

Neil! Dude, wherever you are, you have to get back to the clearing NOW. There is no way you are missing this!

[Stephen flips the camera around, to reveal the extremely curious-looking face of brontosaurus. It is about five steps away from where Stephen is standing, alternatively munching on a tree and inspecting this strange new human intruder with mild interest.]

I'm totally going to try and pet him. Get over here, dude!

[ooc: before anyone else points it out, yes I know they're not really called brontosaurs anymore. But Stephen is a ninties kid who grew up on The Land Before Time, so that's all he knows them as.]

Dude. You totally just pissed that thing off.

[THAT IS VERY HELPFUL INSIGHT, of course, because it's not like that's obvious from the way the raptor is glaring.]

<small<[Pissed it off, yes but when it lunges for Stephen and Neil, it provides Buffy some wiggle room. Literally. She uses it to grab a back leg and the tail mid lunge.]</small> Hey! Snarly! You can't ditch a girl on a first date! <small>[And she jerks hard, slinging it back against a tree that cracks under the raptor's weight. It's stunned long enough for Buffy to grab her scythe but not long enough for her to slice, dice or julienne.]</small>

Dude!

[Which is about all Stephen can manage. She did a one-liner! And it was awesome!]

Duuuuude.

[Neil agrees, with an appreciative slow-nod. It was totally awesome.]

[The raptor rushes back at her, slamming her into a tree with it's body. The tree cracks but Buffy maintains her hold on scythe. She punches the raptor in the side of the head with her free hand and it backs up a couple of feet, shaking it's head like a wet dog. That gives Buffy her opening. She swings the scythe up, biting deep into the raptor's neck. She pushes a little further and decapitates the dinosaur completely. She looks over to Neil and Stephen]

Looks like he lost his head. [Then she bursts into giggles.]

[Stephen really REALLY wants to give both of you a high-five. Would that be weird?]
