[Ordinarily, stories about prison breaks and explosions would be right up Spike's alley. Today, however, he seems stressed out over something completely different. As if the upcoming holiday -- he hates all holidays, but this one in particular is the worst -- wasn't enough, he's been unemployed for way too long. Bills are going to start stacking up

...You're looking for a job.

[What is this madness]

[gottaknockhard]

[Takes that the wrong way. You're getting his hopes up;;]

You know anyone hiring?

[someoneto_carry]

Uh-

[...]

Why you lookin' for work?

[gottaknockhard]

Well, I tried waiting for it to come to me, but so far that's not been a winning strategy.

[gottaknockhard]

[Uh oh, competition. He might be lying when he says this next part.]

Yeah, no problem.

Spike

[gwaine]

No.

Gwaine

[gottaknockhard]

What are you doing right now?

[90% sure it's something extremely depressing. That, or he'll make up some obvious lie about it.]

Spike

[gwaine]

[Right the first time.]

Looking at our photo album.

[And not letting go of a handkerchief that belongs to Julia.]

[Oh my god, what is wrong with you.]

That's it, I'm coming to your room. We're going out.

[black_dog_bite]

Sounds like you're in a bit of a bind.

[gottaknockhard]

[Jet is the last person he wants to freak out about this. Spike is supposed to be the responsible one over here.]

Not a bind. Just... a little setback. I'll figure something out.

[black_dog_bite]

Like what? You got anything in mind?

[gottaknockhard]

Other than the jokes idea? ... Maybe. [Maybe means no.]

[mademyownpath]

...Selling jokes.

You feelin' okay there, Spike?

[gottaknockhard]

[Desperate to make money before it's too late to bounce back... nah, he's feeling just fine.]

It's called brainstorming. There's no bad ideas when you're brainstorming.

[mademyownpath]

Why do you even want a job here? Ain't you a bounty hunter?

[gottaknockhard]

I was a bounty hunter. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a retirement plan.
