[Spike doesn’t fall off the bed so much as flail off, his hand landing on his comm., and in a stroke of pure luck, setting it to record.]

What the…

[There’s a pregnant pause. He’s seemed to realize something. Perhaps it’s that his window is open and shining a cheery beam of light right over his new bed?]

…I was right…

[And back to pausing. The studio ( Read more... )

[...that voice. Andrew knows that voice. It's unmistakable.

Spike.

Spike died. Turned into a pillar of fire. But Andrew remembers being told as soon as he got here that people can be brought to the Elegante even if they've died.

When Andrew finally finds his voice, it's weak and cracks when he speaks. Even then, he's only able to squeak out one feeble word.]

...S-Spike?

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 16:31:59 UTC

[Oh great, he's attracted the welcoming committee. The reaction sounds distinctly like fear. This should be good.]

Who's--

[...okay, so he didn't really know how he turned it on last time, so enjoy the sounds of the 100+ year old vampire fiddling with his comm like an idiot.]

bugger it, do I even have it--

Yeah, right, who's this?

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 16:36:10 UTC

[Andrew doesn't care about the fiddling. He's having one of those blinder-type moments where all he can focus on are the thoughts "Spike is here. It's Spike. He's alive and he's on the boat. Spike." Not "Geez, why can't he work a communicator?" He even disregards the question of his own identity.]

...oh, my God. It's you, you're here, it's you...

[Oh, DUH, Andrew.] Hey! Where are you?

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 16:41:36 UTC

[You can't see it, but he's sucking his teeth. That's kinda a sign you're pissing him off, random voice.

If you're not going to tell him what he wants to hear...]

Oh, just on my way to the corner market. Pick up some milk, eggs, bit a reading material, if you get my drift.

But back to my previous question, who the hell is this?

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 16:49:21 UTC

[Andrew's exuberance immediately falls to pieces. Spike... doesn't recognize him? Or doesn't remember him... Or doesn't know him. That realization gets him like a knife in the gut.]

...An-Andrew. Uhm... [Think back, Andrew. Think how he might remember you. As much as he hates being identified this way, it might be the only option.] Tucker's brother? The... other guy in the Trio. W-Warren's friend...

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 17:00:10 UTC

Hmm.

May've eaten a Tucker once. To be honest, Andrew, I don't recall the conversation turning towards his family members.

[There's the sound of a sliding door opening and Spike steps onto the balcony. His? Balcony? He takes in a deep breath in through his nose. Takes a moment to just soak up that sun.

Then, he seems to remember he's still got your attention.]

You're not a witch, are you? A warlock?

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 17:04:27 UTC

[Yes, this is disappointment. Andrew's felt this many times before. And he's felt that stinging at the back of his eyes along with it. It's nothing new, but it still hurts. Spike doesn't know him.]

Uhm... n-no... Uh, my friend Jonathan w-was. Wh... why?

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 17:15:04 UTC

I'm trying to figure out how I got to this dimension.

This walkie-talkie only get you?

And for God's sake, spit it out.

[He doesn't get your deal, dude. This isn't typical scared food behavior.]

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 17:18:28 UTC

[No, this is sad food behavior, Spike. Andrew takes a breath before answering the question, sure to make his words come out clearly.]

Uhm, the captain brought you here. He brought us all here. Th-the walkies--communicators, they broadcast to--to everyone.

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 17:26:45 UTC

The Captain.

[This is how he asks nicely for some elaboration.]

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 17:28:27 UTC

...of the boat?

[Audio] ramenhair August 31 2010, 17:58:37 UTC

No, really?

Because I was willing to put money down that he was captain of the bleeding moon.

Who is he? Why is he taking people? Me, specifically.

Pfft, if you can.

[He's starting to realize heeee's probably wasting his already unneeded breath.]

[Audio] couldbeavillain August 31 2010, 18:02:05 UTC

Well, I don't know. All people know is that he, like, saved us or something and we're going to the Golden Shore. Whatever that is. No one knows why but the captain and the crew and they won't say stuff.

Uhm... they said that our world is destroyed and... stuff...

[Audio] ramenhair September 2 2010, 03:33:04 UTC

[This poses a problem.]

...Well.

That sounds like a load of crock.

Excuse me if I don't take some whiny little sod's word for it right out of the gate. You sound ready to believe up was down if there's a good fist to back it up.

Anything else?

[Audio] couldbeavillain September 2 2010, 04:08:14 UTC

Hey! I am not whiny! I don't believe everything. [Yes he does.] I mean, Sunnydale got destroyed, why can't the whole world?

I told you, like, everything... what else do you want to know?
