Hey, Wes-- how quickly does holy water hit the bloodstream? Or does it just, like, depurify you drink it?" Wesley appreciated what the two were trying to do, and made an effort to rally in response. "As far as I'm aware, no one's ever made a study of it; or if they have, no surviving record exists."
Oddly enough I wondered about that some time ago. At what point does it lose its holiness, or does it ever? I had this scene that I wanted to turn into a fic based on an image I had of Xander standing on the roof of Buffy's house peeing holy water down on a crowd of attacking vampires, gleefully aiming for the ringleader (Spike?) but not quite managing to reach him. :-) Unfortunately I never got beyond writing the first few scenes because I couldn't come up with a larger plot to hang it on but it still haunts me.
