Application - Spike

[bloodandchips]

Spike didn't have a chance to admire the scenery. All that registered with him was sunny, and that was enough. His hair and hands started smoldering immediately. He spotted a souvenir stand and dove for cover. He went over the counter headfirst but it wasn't fast enough to keep his hand from catching fire

It was the catching fire that caught Katou's attention, and he headed over. "On fire, huh?" he asked, looking over the guy who was hiding underneath some stand. "You don't look very on fire."

Spike leaned on the counter newsstand and held up his left hand to show Katou the blistered and blackened skin. "I put it out," he said, in the tone of someone saying something very obvious.

"I... see," said Katou, looking on the eyes. "What were you doing before you ended up here?" He paused. "Don't tell me that you were attempting to cook." Even Kira had never set himself on fire.

"I was minding my own business," Spike said. "What the hell is this place?"

[katoustheshit]

"It's the happiest place on Earth, of course!" said Katou, plastering a big, happy grin on his face. "And minding your own business, huh? How do you do that."

Katou caught the hint. It didn't mean he was going to follow it.

"It starts with you telling me where I can get a bottle of whiskey and a pack of smokes," Spike said.

[katoustheshit]

"Smokes?" asked Katou, pulling a pack out of his back pocket. "You mean, like these?" He stuck one in his mouth, lit it, and put them back in his pocket. "No idea. As for whiskey, you're going to have to ask Mr. I'm-A-Fucking-Douchebag for that. I wouldn't hold your breath on getting it though."

[bloodandchips]

"Yeah," Spike said dryly. "Like those. Who's Mr. Douchebag when he's at home?"

[katoustheshit]

Katou made no move to offer him any - if he wanted them he could ask, but shrugged a little when he asked who Mr. Douchebag was. "Mr. Char -" started Katou, and cut himself off. "Crowley. I suggest you harass him a lot."

[bloodandchips]

"I'll be right off to do that then. Thanks for the suggestion," Spike said sarcastically.
