Spike and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Who: Spike and Buffy
When: Directly after this which was after this
Where: Bedroom
What: After his long and trying day, Spike finally goes to back to his room to face the Slayer.
Notes: Yes, this extremely out of of the timeline... but sometimes that's the way things work in the hotel...
Spike was drunk.
No, he was more than drunk, he was pissed, blitzed, blotto, sozzled, smashed, three sheets to the wind, plastered, sloshed, one over the eight, falling over sideways drunk.
And, as result the lock on his door was giving him way more trouble than it usually did. He glanced up at the door number to make sure he was at the right room, but as he squinted at the numbers they started swimming together so he couldn't really tell one way or the other. Giving up on that he realized that he still hadn't gotten the key into the lock which was probably the more pressing issue on why he couldn't get into his room. He tried one more time, before giving up completely and just knocking repeatedly on the door until someone - hopefully Buffy because that would mean he was at the right door - let him in.
