[Spike looks his usual combination of grumpy and annoyed. Buffy's visible sitting somewhere in the background, though she doesn't initially seem to be paying that close attention. She's on babysitting him to make sure he doesn't kill everyone, but she'd probably notice if he tried to start right now. Not that he has any intention to.]All right,

We call them bars here. Also, trucks, pants, underwear and french fries. [ She hops down off a bunk she was sitting on and crosses her arms as she fixes him with a judgey look, eyebrow arching. ] So, did that make you feel better? All manly and hopped up on testosterone? [ She's judging you so hard. Look, if she hates her life for having to babysit him, he can hate his for being ... well, hated. No sympathy. ]

[breakmychest]

A little bit, yeah. [He smirks and quirks an eyebrow.] We're not in the States, love. And anyway, you didn't answer my question.

[slayerdom]

We could be. Who says Coruscant has no states? [ She's huffing, but then gestures down the hallway. ] Come on. You wanna go, guess we're going. 'Cause courtesy of our gracious hosts, I've been reduced to Lady Stalks-a-Lot. You know, you coulda kept a lid on the fangs a little longer.

[breakmychest]

I could have kept them in if I wanted. I didn't want another incident like the Winchester Fiasco. [Jo counts as a Winchester. So do Sylar and Riley, apparently.] Anyway, I can stay if you don't want to go. I agreed to let you stalk.

[Willow is in her bunk for now, looking a little amused because how can people not tell he's a vampire? He's so... vampire-y.] So does that count as your coming out?

[breakmychest]

[Spike scowls a little.] Counts as my shouldn't bloody need to point out the obvious.

[uberwitch]

You're so vampire-y. [She pauses] I can come babysit you if Buffy needs a break. [Or Riley time. Sorry, Spike.]

video

[breakmychest]

[Spike rolls his eyes.] I don't need a sitter and I'm only putting up with it cause it's Buffy.

Also, if I did turn evil all of a sudden, there's not much you could do to stop me. Buffy's really the only one here who's got a fighting chance.

[gunslingerpoet]

Vampires are demons now?

[He's drinking a beer and acting as if we're talking about the weather. A beat; he ponders...]

I suppose in a way they are. Depends on where they come from. So, a soul huh.. that mean you used to be human, dude?

video;

[breakmychest]

Of course I used to be human. All vampires were once. [In his world.] Difference between me and them is I won back my soul.

[gunslingerpoet]

In your world, maybe. Excuse me for asking. [He waves his arms out in a shrug and smirks. He's not really offended.] Won it back you say? Good initiative. Why the change of heart?

[slayerdom]

[ She grabs the datapad from Spike and shoves her face in it. ] He'll talk your ear off bragging about the heroics if you let him. Believe me, just stop it while you still can. [ lmao they are like an old married couple. ]

Anyway. Vampy demon-ness. Basically after your whole standard creepy sucking ritual, person dies and a demon sets up camp in their body. Hence, vampire equals demon. Just, you know. In a human. And ... sorta like that human, with all their memories and fun personality quirks. [ She turns to shoot a look at Spike. ] Or, in some cases, really annoying personality quirks. Also, accents. I guess. [ That's met with a more questioning look -- did he pick that up or always have it? ]

[derpydrjimmy]

Really? You don't really seem like one

[breakmychest]

It's the suntan. [Not that he... actually has one, but since coming here, he's gained a bit of colour since he can walk in the sun again. Now he looks extremely pale instead of inhumanly pale.]

[shehulksmash]

A vampire that has a soul and is one of the good guys? Hey, that's pretty cool. What made you switch sides--so to speak? Unless that's private of course, I don't want to pry.

[breakmychest]

Did it for a girl. [Slight glance back at Buffy.] It's a bit private.

[slayerdom]

[ and a telling look is exchanged. ]

[shehulksmash]

[Awww~ She just smiles and doesn't press the issue. Much. Not for details anyway.]

Love and admiration have a way of changing people. Well, good luck out there!

[Like, THUMBS UP Spike.]
