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."

[bloodandchips]

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.

[katoustheshit]

"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?"

The name Spike caused Faye to perk up so quick that it sent a sliver of pain down her back. However, it was the accent that threw everything off and it was pretty apparent from just that.. that it wasn't the Spike she knew. She felt both relief and disappointment.

Either way, she thought she'd welcome the person with the same name as Mr. Fluffy.

Appearing on the scene, Faye softened her face with a smooth smile and said, "Hello there, Spike." She felt it necessary to accent his name, trying to get over her exasperation that it wasn't who she believed it was. "I'm Faye. Welcome to this... humble abode, if you can call it that."

[bloodandchips]

"Hello, Faye," Spike said. "So this is Disneyland, right?"

[sexyamnesiac]

A smirk became visible on her face at the slight mocking tone in his greeting, "That's right. I've never been to the actual place myself, but it looks close enough to be it. The endless supply and no-dying-no-matter-what-you-do thing here pretty much beats the actual one, if you ask me."

[bloodandchips]

"No dying? That's a shame," Spike said. "What do you do for fun around here, then?"

Having been at something of a disadvantage when she'd arrived, herself, Sunshine heard 'I'm on fire,' here! and grabbed the kitchen first aid kit to help the new arrival. The subsequent crack about vampires hadn't amused her much, but she still approached the guy with a determined expression and the kit in hand.

"Hey." Squinting at the singed bits, "Are you all right? What happened?"

[bloodandchips]

"Bit of a sun allergy," Spike said. "Just a little singed, nothing to worry about. Hey, you got any whiskey?" he asked hopefully.

[grumpy_sunshine]

She gave him a weird look. "A 'sun allergy'?"

"Sorry, my yuppie-scum bastard of a next door neighbor has a monopoly on all the decent liquor. I think a couple people make moonshine, though." She was still trying to look for damage. "I've got some burn cream in here..."

[bloodandchips]

"Might help," Spike said. He held out his left hand. The skin on the back of it was blistered and blackened.

Granny looked the new person over for a long while before eventually nodding. "Well, it's going to go quite hard for you here if you insist on combusting every time you step outside."

[bloodandchips]

Spike glared at her. "Thank you. That's ever so helpful."

[ms_weatherwax]

Granny's eyes hardened as she returned the glare. "Best get over it quick, then."

[mickey_mous]

"Well, all righty, Spike. You ready to find out which of our excitin' lands you're gonna live in?"

[bloodandchips]

"I'm all a'flutter in anticipation," Spike said dryly.

[mickey_mous]

"You'd be best in New Orleans Square, of course," Mickey tried, looking for a reaction.

[bloodandchips]

"What, because I'm a vampire, you're putting me in New Orleans? We're not all whiny Anne Rice types, you know," Spike said.
