Re: Would Buffy quit?

["ivygort" <ivygort@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, the mods haven't shut this thread down, so I'll answer it on-list.  As
a fic hack this interests me and I would like to see different opinions.  I
truly believe that there is no right or wrong answer.

habit.

Habits can be broken and if you take her out of Sunnydale it would be easier
to break it.

Let me see if I understand this correctly.  Since the enjoining spell in
season 4 that opened her up to the First Slayer you feel the energy of the
slayer within her changed ... became for primal and now she craves the hunt?
So it isn't a matter of doing her duty anymore its a matter of
self-fulfillment?  Or that she has become "hardwired" and has to go out and
slay or hunt?  So if this is true, then she would never have the "normal"
human emotion of becoming tired or burned out with the struggle because she
now built to enjoy it?

Is that right or what you were thinking?

Ok so even if she did get tired of it, you would feel that she couldn't walk
away because she would want tohelp rebuild the council?  I don't know about
this simply because I think she would trust Giles, Willow, and the others.
She had the weight of all those deaths on her head and I would think that
she wouldn't want that responsibility.

But, I can see that happening.
