[Spike looks grim. His injuries from Telos are already mostly healed, leaving just shadows where burns and bruises and cuts had been.]
So, the bloke who just arrived, with the complete inability to work the journal thing, his name's Angelus. He's from my world and really, really bad. He's a vampire. If you're lucky, he'll just kill you. But he's known for torturing his victims and generally being really bloody awful. If he attacks you, chop off his head, or hold up a cross to his face if you've got one, or shove something wooden through his heart. Setting him on fire would be helpful too. But the best way to keep him out is to not invite him in. He can't enter your home without your express permission, so don't give it to him.
Also, he's good at manipulating people. He'll say things to you, maybe true, maybe not, but don't bloody listen. He's trying to get a rise, trying to control you... ignore him.
[He pauses, then looks down for a moment before continuing.]
Thing is, though. Back home, he's got sort of a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde thing going on. Only in this case, Mr. Hyde's the default, and Dr. Jekyll's what happens when you shove a soul into him. And Angel... [Spike's face twists a little. He doesn't like admitting this.] He's sort of a friend. And that's where I've got to ask if there's anyone who might help me do that. Any witches or other magic users, hell, I'd accept people who just happen to know something about souls, I just want to get the non-evil version back.
But I can't count on that. So people who kill monsters in their worlds... keep an eye out, and kill him if you get the chance before he's got a chance to take you out.
[Private to Jaina and Leia]
He's got reasons to hurt me especially, and he'll do it by coming after the people I care about. You two probably top that list for here. I don't intend to tell him about either of you, but he might find out, so watch out, all right?

[Private to Fred]
He's from early. He won't know who you are, but if he finds out I'm friends with you or you're friends with him, he'll do horrible things to you. Please be careful, love.
