[GUESS WHO'S SMIRKING VISAGE IS ONCE AGAIN GRACING THE BARGE? That's right, it's Spike! He's back! And he's...actually not wearing black. Well, there's still the coat, of course, but his shirt's brown. His room's changed too. It's got pipes and metal all around, like it's something off of some awesome steampunk spaceship. Which, to be fair, it is.

Oh hey. Weren't you one of those vampire guys?

[breakmychest]

And funny thing? I still am.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, of course. How many of your cohorts are there on the barge? Half a dozen or so?

[breakmychest]

If by cohorts, you mean other vampires, you really haven't been paying attention to who I get along with.

Anyway, I wouldn't know, I've been away for a year.

[sharpememory]

A year? [Pause.] Weird. I thought I knew someone who looked like you. And had the same name?

[breakmychest]

...what?

[sharpememory]

What do you remember from being here? What happened? Floods and ports?

[breakmychest]

Pretty much everything. I've got a long memory.

[sharpememory]

Could you tell me the last flood you were in?

[breakmychest]

Not that good. They all blend together.

There was that dinosaur thing right before I left, though. I think.

[sharpememory]

But that was pretty recent, not a year ago.

[breakmychest]

Time works differently on the Barge. Haven't you caught on?

[sharpememory]

That's not funny, man. People can't bend time.

[breakmychest]

You really are thick, aren't you?

[sharpememory]

Well, excuse me if time travel and different dimensions are a bit hard to deal with. Not everyone just accepts this shit off the cuff.
