[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,

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.]

Is she green right now, by the way?

[breakmychest]

[He grins at her.]

Thanks, pet. Who're you, by the way?

asd forgot VIDEO again--and yes, always green unless otherwise stated/shown. it's safer ok

[shehulksmash]

[ooh sexy accent!]

I'm Jennifer Walters, acclaimed lawyer and defence attorney.. and super-heroine going by She-Hulk. Though i really prefer just Jennifer. I'm sure you can figure out why.

VIDEO Gotcha! Thought so, but wasn't sure.

[breakmychest]

Makes you sound a lot less lovely than you are. [...she's hot for a giant green monsterish thing. And far better-spoken then the Hulk in the films.] I'm Spike. It's a pleasure, Jennifer.

[shehulksmash]

I know, right? They even used to call me Savage back in the day. In my defence, I didn't have the control I have now and was only marginally more talkative than Bruce. HULK SMASH! and so on. Still think it was rather rude, though.

[breakmychest]

Sounds it. You don't look at all savage to me, pet. [Except, wait, lawyer. Spike frowns.] Uh, don't take this the wrong way, [Since he's pretty sure the freaking SHE-HULK could smush him like a bug] but most of the lawyers I know are evil. You're not, are you? [Hulk's supposed to be one of the good guys most of the time, right?]

[shehulksmash]

[Oh, the lawyer bit. She blinks and then lets out a small deflated laugh and waves, dismissively. It's OK, people generally don't like them.] Oh, well.. yeah--there are a lot of evil jerks in the law business. Can't deny that.. no hard feelings! It's kind of disillusioning and sad really. [LE SIGH] But I like to believe in the system. Or, that there needs to be a system to defend people's rights.. even if it means jerks can always try to manipulate it.

Anyway, I specialise in super-human law and rights of minorities. And no, I don't take just any case.

[breakmychest]

[Sounds better than what Wolfram and Hart do. Spike gives a nonchalant shrug.] Glad to hear it. I know good lawyers exist, but considering we've got a whole demonic firm in my world, it's best to make sure. Heard of Wolfram and Hart?

[shehulksmash]

Wolfram and Heart? No, don't think so. ... Demonic firm? Wow. No wonder you're wary.

[breakmychest]

[He gives a shallow nod.] They caused no end of trouble for some friends of mine. We're the sorts of good guys who aren't great at colouring within the lines, so to speak.

[shehulksmash]

[She looks a little put out at the idea of demons working law, even if.. not surprised. Her attitude changes to smiles at his confession, however.]

Oh that's ok, I get it. Don't worry. Sometimes the right thing doesn't always fit within the lines. Most heroes are vigilantes in a way anyway, right? I try to stay within the lines myself or I'll loose my right to practise law, but I'm not such a white hat that I don't know that going freehand is sometimes the only way to get anything done.

[A small laugh] I always was a big supporter of civil disobedience!

[breakmychest]

Yeah, you sound a lot cooler than the lawyers there. You know, besides the giant green thing.
