[Dawn does dodge (18), forcing his wrist away, before coming around again to make a second attempt with the stake (6), but the angle doesn't seem quite right.]

( Jeremy lands one more blow with the trash can lid, dropping the vampire to his knees (20,16) which makes it even harder for Dawn to stake the right place (18)

Leaning over, the vampire tries to brace himself on the concrete to kick at Jeremy. It's a stalemate where he makes the kick as it knocks into the lid, but it doesn't knock him back more than a step (6, 6). He tries slamming the lid on top of his head (12, 14) but the vampire rolls away again. )

[Why won't you just die. Seriously. Why are you rolling so well.

Dawn grits her teeth and tries to come in again (10). And if this misses, she might see if Jeremy has better luck.]

( Dawn strikes just right (4) and a shriek disappears with the breeze as he falls to ash under the stake.

Jeremy drops the trash can lid to the side, wiping sweat from his brow. )

[Dawn huffs as she pulls back, resting her hands on her hips.]

That was way too much work. I'm getting rusty.

You're not. You're just an academic. And he was surprisingly strong.

( He steadies her, making sure she's good. )

We're lucky one of the other artists didn't step out here for a smoke.

Guess they had more important things to worry about than nicotine.

[She brushes the dust off her, before tucking her arm in his.]

Plus, I think it's closing time soon.

That means we can duck out, right? I made my appearance.

( He was seen. He barely mingled. It counts? )

[She smirks, before nodding, tucking her arm into his.]

I'm sure we could find better things to do.
