fairfax-for-the-greater-good replied to your post: [pm] Ms. Summers, I have received some intelligence regarding the dullahan. I am told that they are attracted to blood. It’s not much, but perhaps something useful can be made out of it.

[pm] You are quite welcome. If you could keep me up-to-date with your progress on the situation I would be most grateful.

[pm] I’ll let you know once we’ve got a coherent plan figured out. We can probably use the help of someone a little… Smarter.

[pm] Couldn’t really say this before ‘cuz I was doing the giving you space thing— and it’s probably dumb to say it now anyways— but for what it’s worth, I’m sorry. Wicked sorry. Sorriest I’ve ever been.

[pm] I know you are, Faith. Thank you for giving me space and thank you for saying that. What you did still hurts, but I can accept your apology.

[pm] It’s a Dullahan. Which is like some sort of nearly headless Nick I’m told. We don’t know how to kill it just yet. Okay Cucumber, the demon has marked Giles for death… But Faith and I are killing it before that can happen.

[pm] You and Faith will kill it before it gets Giles. See, no freaking here. I’m certain in your ability to kill it before that happens. We’ll get to researching weaknesses.

[pm] I can always count on you, Xander! Willow is apparently freaking out even though Faith explained to her that we’re handling this. Maybe you could reassure her?

[pm] Tried to, yeah. She’s still all wrecked about this though.

Really? I mean— right. Thanks. We’ve dealt with worse, this’ll be a breeze. Giles can sit tight, ‘cuz he’s not goin’ anywhere. And I get that it’s still a thing— I’m not over it either, but I’m game for some synchronized slaying again.

[pm] I actually found out more about this thing. I think killing it is going to require some pretty specialized weapons. Like possibly made entirely out of gold. It’s the Dullahan’s weakness I guess you could say. 

And they don’t like being watched. Maybe we could look at it through a mirror or something, like Perseus style.

[pm] Solid gold weapons? You’re joking, right? Don’t think those are covered in the Slayer budget; either that or they’ve been holdin’ out on me. These guys don’t even have eyes, right? ‘Less they’re in the neck. Can’t we just tear the head away from everything else? Divide and conquer style?

[pm] Maybe gold leaf would do the trick. They have eyes. On their heads. We could tear the head away but we’d have to do it without it seeing us., They’ve got these like killer whips and if we look directly at it there’s a great chance we’ll end up with about as many eyes as Xander has…

As much as I’d like for this to be a punch-punch-kick-stab-kill job, I’m afraid it might require a little more, um, tact.
