New Living History...
Heh. RL tripped me up last night. So no new part last night.
New part tonight.
Plus, I really, really have to catch up the comments y'all have been leaving in my LJ. And update FF.net so I can catch up with the archive there because I've been waaaaaay too lazy to pump parts into memories. I'm hoping to manage that sometime next week.
Up to part 52 can be found here

THWAK!
WHAP!
SMACK!
“You know…” Kennedy sounded almost philosophical. A neat trick since she was also out of breath. “Being a Slayer? Not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be.”
WHAM!
POW!
CRUNCH!
“Never is,” Buffy replied. “Duck!”
“Duck? Where?” Kennedy asked.
A dirt monster slammed a fist into the back of Kennedy’s head, knocking her down. In a smooth move, she rolled and back-flipped on to her feet.
“That never gets old.” It was Buffy’s turn to sound philosophical. She crouched as a hand whistled through the empty air over her head.
“Glad you’re amused,” Kennedy dryly replied.
KICK!
KER-CHUNK!
BAM!
“Yeah, well, I make fun because I love,” Buffy said.
FLIP! FLIP! FLIP!
SLAM!
WHAPA-WHAPA-WHAPA!
“Seriously, though,” Kennedy threw a haymaker at the closest target. “How can you tell the difference between a good fight and a bad fight?”
POW! POW! POW!
SWISH!
OW!
Buffy scrambled to her feet, trying not to rub the bruise that she just knew was forming on her cheekbone. “A good fight…” she paused as she danced away from a rapidly arriving elbow to her face. She tried again. “A good fight is when you don’t have to trowel on the make-up the next morning to hide the black-and-blue badness.”
“Ahhhh,” Kennedy nodded as she tore a small headstone out of the ground and tossed it at a dirt man’s head. “And a bad fight?”
One of the dirty many grabbed Buffy by her collar and lifted her off the ground. She had just enough time to say, “I think this pretty much qualifies.”
KER-BLAM!

Man, I must have a temperature. Need to go lie down now.

The nice thing about Kennedy is that she's such a cypher. As long as you stick with the bare bones ME gave us, you can pretty much do anything with her. I mean, how do you call OOC on a character that didn't even have C in canon?
Plus, I have a kneejerk dislike of character bashing, so I actually find myself writing Kennedy so I'd like her.
Now I need to go lie down...*sheesh*

KER-BLAM!
Ooh. I love the vibe of that scene. I'm imagining little cartoony birdies going around Buffy's head...

I had a random thought this morning, not sure why, other than I've been obsessively listening to my Once More with Feeling CD ever since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but it's a thought you might appreciate. I was thinking of the Hyena episode, and I found it kind of interesting that Xander really became the Alpha Male of the pack, he led the group when they ate the pig, and they went to free him when he was in the cage, etc. I don't know if Joss did that just because Xander was a main character, or if he was really pointing something out about Xander's personality. Either way, your Xander really fits with that idea of him being an Alpha male.
Maybe I have too much time on my hands.

Thing is, in early seasons, Xander did have leadership capability, but when ME started pulling out his teeth one-by-one around mid-S5, people forgot that he was hardly what you'd call toothless.
Actually, what's interesting is I read somewhere that hyenas are matriarcal (too lazy to look it up). So for Xander to be an "alpha" he'd have to have a female hyena spirit.
Which, given the fact that Xander has often been in the situation where he's the only guy in a group of women, makes a little bit of sense.
